On January 25, six <keyword id="48426" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="MBBS" source="Orion">MBBS</keyword> graduates had filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking postponement of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) scheduled on March 12 for admissions in postgraduate medical courses, claiming that many MBBS graduates would not be able to take up the examination due to non-completion of the mandatory internship period. Dr B Srinivas, Assistant Director General (Medical Education) and Member Secretary of the <keyword id="1873824" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="medical-counselling-committee" source="Orion">Medical Counselling Committee</keyword>, in a communication sent to Dr M Bajpai, executive director of NBE, said that a lot of representations were being received from medical doctors requesting to postpone the NEET-PG 2022 examination as it was clashing with the NEET PG 2021 counselling. Also, many of the interns would not be able to participate in the PG counselling 2022 in May-June, Srinivas said. "Keeping the above facts in view, the HFM (ministry of health and family welfare) has taken the decision to postpone NEET PG 2022 by 6-8 weeks or suitably. Hence, the decision made by HFM may be complied with," the communication sent on February 3 stated.

Health Ministry postpones NEET Postgraduate exam 2022 by 6-8 weeks

The Directorate General of Health Services (<keyword id="6430867" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="dghs" source="Orion">DGHS</keyword>) has informed the <keyword id="6354977" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Supreme-Court" source="Orion">Supreme Court</keyword> that four rounds of online counselling for <keyword id="11196228" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="NEET-PG-2021" source="Orion">NEET-PG 2021</keyword> have been already conducted and 1,456 medical seats have remained vacant, as the software stands closed. The DGHS said since the software is closed, further rounds of counselling could not be conducted to fill up the medical seats. The DGHS in an affidavit, submitted the software, which was used for online counselling of NEET-PG 2021, is closed and refund of security deposit for participating in PG counselling has been initiated. It also added that the petitioner has made the plea at a belated stage and it may impact the whole process for upcoming counselling session for <keyword id="12826212" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="NEET-PG-2022" source="Orion">NEET-PG 2022</keyword>, and it is also difficult to run concurrently counselling for two academic sessions. A vacation bench comprising Justices M.R. Shah and Aniruddha Bose on Wednesday sought response from the Central government on petitions seeking a special stray round of counselling for the 1,456 vacant seats. The DGHS said it has acted in a bonafide manner and complied with the direction of the apex court in full letter and spirit, and no further rounds apart from four online rounds of counselling could be conducted. It added that NEET-PG 2021 counselling was delayed due to third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The DGHS said as per the direction of the top court it conducted four rounds of online counselling for the PG course and the last date of admissions for the PG course was May 7. These rounds of counselling also included an additional online special round for 146 seats, following March 31 order of the apex court, it added. The Supreme Court is scheduled to take up the matter on Thursday. The Supreme Court on Wednesday slammed the <keyword id="1873824" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="medical-counselling-committee" source="Orion">Medical Counselling Committee</keyword> (MCC) on the 1,456 vacant medical seats in NEET PG-2021, saying if students are not given admission, then it will pass orders and also grant them compensation. The vacation bench told the MCC Counsel, "Even if a single course has remained vacant.....It's your duty to see that they don't remain vacant." The bench got angry to see that 1,456 seats have remained vacant in medical colleges during the 2021-22 session. It said the MCC and the Central government are playing with the life of students by not conducting a mop up round of counselling for students. "You're playing with the future of students....," said the bench, adding that in May, the authorities learnt that seats were vacant, why didn't they conduct a mop up round? The MCC Counsel submitted that orders in the matter would lead to cascading effect and requested the court to allow him to place an affidavit on record to explain the matter. The top court allowed the Central government to file a response in the matter.

NEET-PG 2021: DGHS tells SC no further rounds of counselling can be conducted, software closed

The Centre assured the <keyword id="6354977" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Supreme-Court" source="Orion">Supreme Court</keyword> on Monday that the counselling process of NEET-PG will not commence till the top court decides the challenge to 27 per cent reservation for <keyword id="45661" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="OBC" source="Orion">OBC</keyword> and 10 per cent for <keyword id="11939755" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ews" source="Orion">EWS</keyword> category in PG All India Quota seats (MBBS/BDS and MD/MS/MDS) from the current academic session. A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and B V Nagarathna recorded the assurance given by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) K M Nataraj, appearing for the Centre, and observed that students will be in serious problem if the counselling process goes ahead as scheduled. The assurance by Nataraj was given after senior advocate Arvind Dattar, appearing for some NEET candidates, mentioned that as per the schedule announced by the Director General of Health Services, the counselling process for the NEET-PG is to commence from October 25. He said that by the time the court decides the pending batch of petitions, challenging the July 29 notification, introducing the reservation from academic year, the entire process of admission will be over and serious prejudice would be caused to the students. Nataraj said the communication which counsel for petitioner is referring to was sent only to the medical colleges for verification of seats and one more clarificatory notification has been issued on Monday. The counselling process will not begin till the court decides the pending batch of petitions, the ASG submitted. The bench said that it is taking the word on record. We will take your word on record that counselling process will not start till we decide the batch of petitions one way or the other. You know, students will be in serious problem, if the process continues, the bench said. Nataraj agreed with the observation of the court and said that if there is any problem at all in the future, the petitioner's counsel can contact him directly. On October 21, the top court had asked the Centre whether it would like to revisit the limit of rupees eight lakh annual income, fixed for determining the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) category for reservation in NEET admissions for medical courses. The top court had clarified that it is not embarking into the policy domain but is only trying to ascertain whether constitutional principles have adhered or not. It had asked the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and the Department of Personnel and Training (DOPT) to file their affidavits in a week's time and had formulated questions to be answered by the Centre. The top court had said, Tell us if you want to revisit the criteria or not. If you want us to discharge our duties, then we are ready to do so. We are formulating questions which you need to answer them . It had added, We may stay the government notification fixing rupees eight lakh criteria for determining the EWS and you can keep filing the affidavits . The top court was hearing a batch of pleas challenging the Centre and Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) July 29 notice providing 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Class (OBC) and 10 per cent for EWS category in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) admissions for medical courses. It had asked searching questions from Centre, and asked whether any exercise was undertaken before fixing a limit of Rs 8 lakh annual income for determining the EWS category. It had said the court is not going to tell the government as to what should be the limit whether it should be rupees four lakh or rupees six lakh because it is for the executive to decide but all it wants to know is on what basis Rs. 8 lakh criteria was fixed. For determining creamy layer in Other Backward Classes (OBC) category the limit was fixed as Rs 8 lakh annual income and they were considered progressed class among OBCs and they were excluded from reservation benefits. Here, for the EWS category, the limit is the same Rs 8 lakh annual income but it was for inclusion in the reservation benefits, the top court had said. On October 7, the top court had posed searching questions to the Centre on its decision to fix a limit of rupees eight lakh annual income for determining the EWS category for reservation in NEET admissions. The Centre had then said fixing a limit of Rs eight lakh annual income for the EWS category is a matter of policy based on the National Cost of Living Index. On September 17, the top court has agreed to hear a batch of pleas of students against the July 29 notice providing 27 per cent reservation for OBC and 10 per cent for EWS category in 15 per cent UG and 50 per cent PG All India Quota seats (MBBS/BDS and MD/MS/MDS) with effect from the current academic session 2021-22.

NEET-PG counselling not to commence till Supreme Court decides on OBC, EWS quota, says Centre

<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image on-image"></div></div>An <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-senate-is-about-to-release-the-cia-torture-report-2014-12">appalling Senate report</a> on George W. Bush-era interrogation techniques asserts the CIA lied repeatedly about the harshness and effectiveness of its methods.
Those methods were used as part of a counterterrorism program that Bush put into place in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City. It turns out, however, that Bush didn't know the full details of the CIA's interrogation techniques - <a href="https://twitter.com/charlie_savage/status/542354330469543936">some of which were horrific </a>- until 2006.
The report found the CIA also misled other government entities, including the Senate, a major news outlet, and the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel, which was supposed to ascertain the legality of the practices. 
Here are key details on who the CIA misled and when, <a href="http://www.intelligence.senate.gov/study2014/sscistudy1.pdf">from the Senate Intelligence Committee report</a>:
<h3>President Bush Was Ill-Informed And Even Lied To: </h3>
Bush wasn't given a full briefing on the CIA's interrogation methods for the first four years of the program's existence, according to the report.
"According to CIA records, no CIA officer, up to and including CIA Directors George Tenet and Porter Goss, briefed the president on the specific CIA enhanced interrogation techniques before April 2006," the report stated. 
Moreover, the report found that the CIA had incorrectly informed Bush during a daily briefing that <a href="http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/abu-zubaydah-diaries.html">detainee Abu Zubaydah</a> had given interrogators helpful information after being subjected to "enhanced interrogation." In fact, Zubaydah, who was detained in March 2002, didn't give interrogators more useful information after he was subjected to isolation and waterboarding. 
<h3>The CIA Lied To The Department Of Justice</h3>
The CIA misled the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel about various methods it used to humiliate detainees and how effect these tactics actually were. 
These tactics included immersing detainees in cold water, forcing detainees to walk around naked in front of guards, and even forcing them to wear diapers "to induce a sense of helplessness," according to the report.
The report also found the CIA "gave the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel inaccurate information about how it interrogated Abu Zubaydah and subsequent detainees." That misinformation included statements that waterboarding didn't hurt detainees and merely created a sensation of drowning.
In reality, the report said, according to CIA records, Abu Zubaydah's waterboarding sessions "resulted in immediate fluid intake and involuntary leg, chest and arm spasms" and "hysterical pleas." A medical officer who oversaw the interrogation of another detainee stated that the waterboard technique had evolved beyond the "sensation of drowning" to what he described as a "series of near drownings."
<h3>A CIA Director Misled The Senate</h3>
In April 2007, former CIA director Michael Hayden provided the Select Committee On Intelligence with inaccurate information about enhanced interrogation techniques and their effectiveness at a hearing, according to the report.
The report found Hayden gave Senators inaccurate testimony about the interrogation process, threats against detainees' families, the punching and kicking of detainees, detainee hygiene, denial of medical care, dietary manipulation, the use of waterboarding and its effectiveness, and the injury and death of detainees. 
Hayden also told the Senate committee he didn't believe CIA personnel had expressed reservations about the techniques that were used. In reality, one medical staff member said the methods made him "psychologically very uncomfortable" and several staffers were "profoundly affected" to the point of "choking up," according to the report.
<h3>The New York Times Was Lied To, As Well</h3>
The CIA worked vigoriously to shape media coverage of its interrogation techniques, according to the report. The agency even gave The New York Times information about its interrogation of Abu Zubaydah that conficted with the CIA's own records, according to the report.
"David Johnston of the New York Times called the CIA's OPA with a proposed news story about the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah," the report said. "In an email with the subject line, 'We Can't Let This Go Unanswered,' the CIA's director of public affairs in OPA, Mark Mansfield, described Johnston's proposed narrative as 'bullshit' and biased toward the FBI, adding that 'we need to push back." 
Ultimately, The Times published a story commenting on "the frequent CIA representation that, after the use of 'tougher tactics,' Abu Zubaydah 'soon began to provide information on key Al Qaeda operators to help us find and capture those responsible for the 9/11 attacks.'"
"This characterization of Abu Zubaydah's interrogation is incongruent with CIA interrogation records," the report said.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Here is a list of organizations that need support to assist victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.</li><li>Donating money is the most efficient way to aid survivors.</li></ul>While people slept, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-turkey-syria-look-like-after-powerful-earthquake-kills-thousands-2023-2">rocked and devastated</a> southern Turkey and northwestern Syria on Monday, only to be followed hours later by 7.5 magnitude aftershock.Thousands are dead and tens of thousands more in desperate need of aid in a region that was already home to millions of people who have been displaced by war.Dozens of organizations are already providing on-the-ground assistance. While you may be tempted to try and donate goods, what these groups need now is money. Here are a few that you can help:<h2>Syrian American Medical Society</h2>Volunteer medical workers with the <a href="https://www.sams-usa.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Syrian American Medical Society</a> have for years traveled to Syria and its neighboring countries to treat the victims of war. In the immediate aftermath of Monday's dual earthquakes, the group's own medical facilities in Syria — which have frequently been targeted in airstrikes from Russia and its Syrian regime ally — aided more than 850 people.<h2>Turkish Red Crescent</h2><a href="https://www.kizilay.org.tr/Bagis">The Turkish Red Crescent</a>, the largest humanitarian organization in Turkey, is deploying staff and mobile kitchen trucks to distribute food to survivors in Gaziantep and elsewhere in the south of the country, as well as provide blankets, tents, and beds, the group said Monday. Staff are also delivering donated blood to local medical facilities.<h2>The White Helmets</h2>For a decade now, volunteer rescue workers have pulled people from buildings in Syria destroyed by Russian and regime airstrikes. Now members of <a href="https://www.whitehelmets.org/en/">The White Helmets</a> are pulling survivors from the rubble of buildings destroyed by Monday's earthquake in northwest Syria, one of the last pockets of the country controlled by armed opposition groups.<h2>International Rescue Committee</h2>"This earthquake is yet another devastating blow to so many vulnerable populations already struggling after years of conflict," Tanya Evans of the <a href="https://help.rescue.org/donate?ms=ws_banr_UKMM_20231001&amp;initialms=ws_banr_UKMM_20231001" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">International Rescue Committee</a> said in a statement on Monday. In Syria, hospitals were already grappling with a cholera outbreak and the latest disaster will only increase the needs on the ground. The IRC will continue to help with everything from medical care to trauma counseling.<h2>Molham Team</h2>Many inhabitants of Syria's northwest Idlib province have been displaced multiple times since 2011, when the conflict in Syria began, some living in homes that had been damaged by airstrikes — and which collapsed on Monday. Volunteers with <a href="https://molhamteam.com/en/campaigns/439" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Molham Team</a>, founded by Syrian college students in the wake of the Syrian revolution, are now setting up shelters and distributing food and blankets to those made homeless once again.<h2>Project HOPE</h2>For more than 60 years, <a href="https://www.projecthope.org/earthquake-in-turkey-syria-how-to-help/02/2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Project HOPE</a> has aided victims of natural disasters, working through local humanitarian organizations and medical workers to provide immediate and long-term assistance.Radih Torbay, the group's president, said Monday that he anticipates a "very arduous and long road to recovery" in both Turkey and Syria. "As temperatures hover near freezing and airport closures and snowstorms delay access," he said, "Project HOPE has deployed an emergency response effort and is working with local and international partners to respond to the immediate needs."<h2>Save the Children</h2><a href="https://support.savethechildren.org/site/Donation2?df_id=1620&amp;1620.donation=form1">Save the Children</a>, active in both Turkey and northwest Syria, will be distributing blankets and winter clothing in the days ahead, the group said Monday, as well as support winterization efforts for those dwellings that remain standing."[I]t's crucial that the international community acts now to provide support to the thousands of people in need," Sasha Ekanayake, the group's director of operations in Turkey, said in a statement.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://features.yaledailynews.com/blog/2015/04/03/constructively-occupied/"></div></div>He has to apply for Medicaid, which he said is unlikely to cover the therapy he needs before Yale will readmit him. Some students say the main problem with Yale's policy is rigidity. While they can withdraw at any time, they have to request a so-called leave of absence by the 10th day of the term. A leave of absence doesn't carry the same requirements that a withdrawal carries like having to take two courses at another college or show up for an on-campus interview to return to school.Students on campus argue that Yale's 10-day window for leaves of absence should be expanded, pointing to Harvard's leave of absence policy as an example of a more reasonable strategy.<a href="http://static.fas.harvard.edu/registrar/ugrad_handbook/current/chapter2/voluntary_leaves.html">Harvard's policy</a>, by contrast, provides students a longer window of time to decide if they need to take a leave of absence. Students have until the seventh Monday of the term to request a leave of absence. And even students who request after the seventh Monday can be granted a late term leave of absence.However, English professor John Rogers, who was on a committee to review the withdrawal policies, told a forum of students that Yale's policy is similar to that of other Ivy League schools, <a href="http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2015/02/26/in-heated-mental-health-town-hall-students-demand-answers/">YDN previously reported</a>. Yale's policy seems different because it uses the word "withdrawal" to distinguish leaves of absence from temporary departures that occur longer into the semester, according to Rogers.Perhaps a smaller change might be a potential first step towards improving Yale's withdrawal and readmission process. A lack of communication was the refrain that loomed over students' complaints in the YDN article. Students said they aren't told when decisions will be made about their readmission status in a process already fraught with anxiety."I'm kind of mad at Yale all the time. I want to respect their decisions, but I have not seen any reason to, because they haven't explained any of the reasons behind any of their decisions," Eugenia Zhukovsky, who withdrew from Yale last semester, told the YDN. In the meantime, Yale is continuing to work with groups on campus to better understand criticisms and potentially improve upon the withdrawal policy."We understand the concern from students, which is why the Dean has convened a committee to review the issue. This committee will seriously consider input by the Yale College Council," a spokesperson from Yale told Business Insider.Disclosure: The author of this article is a Yale University graduate. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/smartphone-impact-brain-body-sleep-2015-2">This is what happens to your brain and body when you check your phone before bed</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="BvMjVqcjoHdZBG6tTpXy8UkhB5_46U_c" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">AP Photo/Andrew HarnikRep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) walks out of nomination vote meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington.</div></div></div>The House of Representatives is not through with Valeant Pharmaceuticals.Ranking members of the House Committee on Oversight, Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Ranking Member Elijah E. Cummings (D-Maryland), just sent the company a letter asking for an explanation as to why it continues to withhold documents about its drug-pricing practices. The committee has been looking specifically into heart medications, Isuprel and Nitropress, since August of last year. Valeant hiked the prices of those drugs by by 525% and 212% respectively. Last month, Valeant's then-interim CEO, Howard Schiller, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/live-martin-shkreli-the-ceo-of-valeant-and-others-face-congress-2016-2">went to Washington to testify about the matter.</a>The day before Schiller's testimony, on February 3rd, Valeant's counsel provided legislators with a bunch of "non privileged" documents. Chaffetz and Cummings want to know what was so privileged about the documents that were not included.Specifically, they want (from the letter): "(1) a description of each document you have withheld; (2) the total number of pages of each document you have withheld; and (3) the reason you have withheld each document." They asked for this information by March 23. "Based on the information you provide in response to this request," Chaffetz and Cummings wrote, "the Committee will be able to evaluate the basis for your decision to withhold these documents and determine whether, and to what extent, such documents should be provided."In other words, they don't want Valeant picking choosing what to send.Valeant started facing intense pressure over its pricing practices in the fall, when Hillary Clinton and Senator Claire McCaskill also expressed anger at the company. That, combined with accusations of malfeasance from a short seller, plunged the company into chaos and tanked the stock.Valeant was forced to reorganize its business in the face of this disaster, and promised to lower its prices, but it doesn't seem the government is done yet. Chaffetz and Cummings both discussed the need for more transparency on how much it actually costs drug companies to make drugs - until they get more answers about that, they're unlikely to stop. The SEC and state attorney's from Massachusetts and New York also have open investigations into the company.
