CLAREMONT, CA, September 10, 2010 (Press-News.org) Renowned Iranian composer and musician, Kourosh Zolani, composed a memorial piece called "Peaceful Planet" for victims and families of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. The musical piece's 11 minutes, 9 seconds chronicles the time before, during and after the attack.
According to Zolani, the first part of the musical piece portrays the world before the attack; the second part describes the tragedy and horrible feelings during the attack followed by the third part that shows the sadness and confusion after the attack. Finally, the piece ends with the artist's imagination of a peaceful planet. It depicts a beautiful spring day, full of peace, happiness, and birds singing along (listen to the music at http://www.kouroshzolani.com/news.html).
Credited as a mindful, social, music composer, Kourosh Zolani has also composed several pieces addressing cultural, political, and social issues. His latest album, "Memoirs of Sangesar", includes pieces such as "It Used to Be Home", dedicated to Iranian citizens who currently face many difficulties in their country; "With Us Forever", for the wars' fallen heroes, and "Dance of Change" for the recent US presidential election. "Memoirs of Sangesar" has received worldwide acclaim (view the music video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeG8J9cGdiU).
In a time in which the world sadly fosters distrust and separation among nations, Kourosh Zolani, like many proactive artists, uses the universal language of art and music to bridge the gap between the West and the East. In his music, Zolani envisions a peaceful planet and hopes that one day humans will respect and love each other beyond geographic borders.

Mexican-Americans with heart rhythm disorder have increased risk for second stroke
2010-09-10
Mexican-American stroke survivors with a heart rhythm disorder have more than twice the risk for another stroke compared to non-Hispanic whites, according to a study published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Mexican-Americans' recurrent strokes are also more likely to be severe, though they don't have a greater risk of death after stroke, researchers said.
Researchers compared 88 Mexican-American and 148 non-Hispanic white stroke survivors who had atrial fibrillation, a disorder in which the heart's upper chambers (called the atria) beat irregularly ...
How mycobacteria avoid destruction inside human cells
2010-09-10
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a dreaded contagious disease of the lungs and other organs. The causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (or M. tuberculosis), infects roughly a third of the world's population and one-in-ten to one-in-twenty of the infected population becomes sick or infectious at some point during their lifetime.
The mycobacteria survive, and even thrive, inside host macrophages – cells that are part of the human immune system and that usually engulf and destroy bacteria in structures called phagosomes. M. tuberculosis is taken into phagosomes but it somehow ...
Renewable energy needs more community power
2010-09-10
An analysis of wind farm applications in England shows that rejection of wind energy projects is connected to areas with high political engagement and high life expectancy. The current trend shows that many technically suitable locations may remain unused because of the threat of effective local resistance by people who are relatively privileged.
Planning delays and rejections encourage commercial developers to instead focus on remote or deprived communities as sites for new power plants. In areas of economic fragility, commercial plants are more easily established without ...
European Union could create incentive for new drug treatments
2010-09-10
DURHAM, N.C. – Drug companies may be more willing to develop treatments for neglected diseases including malaria, tuberculosis and leishmanaiasis if the European Union would adopt a "priority review voucher" reward system.
The vouchers would give a company accelerated regulatory review of one of its other drugs as a reward for developing a treatment for a neglected disease.
Although these diseases affect more than 1 billion people, they occur most frequently in developing nations, providing little financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to create and test new ...
Basic physical capability can predict mortality in later life
2010-09-10
People who are better at simple physical acts such as gripping, walking, rising from a chair and balancing on one leg are more likely to live longer, according to a new study published on bmj.com today.
Measures of physical capability, such as grip strength, walking speed, chair rising time and standing balance ability, can predict mortality in older people living in the community, UK researchers found.
These measures are related to a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. There is growing interest in using such measures as simple screening tools to identify ...
Diagnostic errors 'greatest threat to patient safety in hospitals,' claims senior doctor
2010-09-10
Diagnostic errors are the most important causes of avoidable harm to patients in hospitals, warns a senior doctor on bmj.com today.
Dr Gordon Caldwell, a consultant physician at Worthing Hospital in Western Sussex argues that doctors need better facilities and sufficient time to make a correct diagnosis.
When a patient is admitted to hospital, the team of doctors formulate a "working diagnosis," he explains. At this point, the diagnosis is uncertain but the patient is treated as if the working diagnosis is correct.
"If over the next few days the patient gets better, ...
CRISPR critters: Scientists identify key enzyme in microbial immune system
2010-09-10
Imagine a war in which you are vastly outnumbered by an enemy that is utterly relentless – attacking you is all it does. The intro to another Terminator movie? No, just another day for microbes such as bacteria and archaea, which face a never-ending onslaught from viruses and invading strands of nucleic acid known as plasmids. To survive this onslaught, microbes deploy a variety of defense mechanisms, including an adaptive-type nucleic acid-based immune system that revolves around a genetic element known as CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short ...
