Washington August 1:
            Six, seven or eight -- so how many hours of sleep are enough for you? It's probably best to aim for seven hours of quality shut-eye every night, says a new study led by an Indian-origin researcher.
Anoop Shankar and his team at West Virginia University has found that those who sleep more or less than seven hours a day are at a raised risk of developing coronary heart disease, the 'Sleep' journal reported. They have based their findings on an analysis of data gathered in a national US study in 2005 on 30,000 adults.
The study found that the subjects who said they slept nine hours or longer a day were one-and-a-half times more likely than seven-hour sleepers to develop heart disease. And, adults under 60 who slept five hours or fewer a night raised their risk of developing cardiovascular disease more than threefold compared to people who sleep seven hours, the study found.
According to the researchers, short sleep duration is associated with angina, while both sleeping too little and too much are linked to heart attack and stroke. The results remained the same after considering age, sex, race, whether the person smoked or drank, whether they were fat or slim, and whether they're active or couch potato.
However, the researchers were unable to find out the exact reason between how long one sleeps and heart disease. But they pointed out sleep duration affects endocrine and metabolic functions and sleep deprivation lead to impaired glucose tolerance, reduced insulin sensitivity and elevated blood pressure, all of which raise risk of hardening arteries.
Shankar said that doctors should screen for changes in sleep duration when assessing patients' risk for heart disease and that public health initiatives consider including a focus on improving sleep quality and quantity.

Patiala August 2:
            State Minister for External Affairs and Patiala MP Preneet Kaur yesterday accused the SAD-BJP government of failing to properly present the case of Punjab in regard to the Ghaggar project to the Centre.
“Post-floods, the Punjab government is blaming the Centre and the Central Water Commission for the delay in the second phase of the Ghaggar project whereas in reality it was the Badal government that failed to properly take up the matter,” she said. She also visited about 12 villages of the Shatrana Assembly Constituency that were hit by the recent floods.
Preneet further said the previous Congress regime in Punjab led by former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh had taken up the issue with the Centre following which the Centre had released funds worth Rs 70 crore to Punjab. But ever since the Akalis came to fore, they have failed to make any further progress in this regard.
Preneet lambasted the Punjab government for the flood fury, stating that it was sheer failure on the part of the SAD-BJP government that flood-prevention steps were not taken before the onset of monsoons. “It is ridiculous that the state did not release the funds for the de-silting and cleaning the drains and rivulets before the monsoons,” she added.
Preneet further said the UPA would surely take remedial steps to prevent the damage being caused by the Ghaggar in the form of floods. She also said petty politics being played by the SAD was unfortunate. “When people are dying and the state is suffering immense damage, it is sad that Akalis are busy playing the blame game,” she added.
Listening to the residents of flood-affected Guru Nanak Pura village in Shatrana, Preneet said the flood-hit farmers would also be taken care of. Shatrana MLA Nirmal Singh and assistant principal secretary to Preneet Kaur MP Singh accompanied Preneet during her visit to the flood-hit areas.

Ludhiana August 1:
            Not ruling out the possibility of revival of terrorism in the state, former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh asked the government to act with added caution in the wake of arrests of many former militants recently.
“Though there is no such problem (terrorism) as of now, their (the terrorists) aim is to once again create trouble in the state. The government must deal with the issue firmly,” he told reporters here today after appearing in the sessions court in connection with the Ludhiana City Centre case. Amarinder said Pakistan and the ISI would always try to create trouble for India. “Given the situation in Pakistan, they will always try to get attention shifted to India. Hence, the need for caution,” he said.
Amarinder also asked the state to coordinate with the Centre as it was already seized of the matter. “I had met the National Security Adviser recently and discussed the issue (terrorism) with him,” he said. To a question about the alleged links of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Managing Committee president PS Sarna with some arrested Khalistani militants, Amarinder said that he did not believe the Punjab Police claims. “The Punjab Police was often being used by the Akali Government to settle personal and political scores. To get to the bottom of the truth, the probe should be handed over to an independent agency,” he said, adding that Sarna’s name was being dragged in ahead of the SGPC elections.
Amarinder strongly condemned the reported conspiracy to eliminate the head of the Radha Soami sect, as recently revealed by the Vienna Police. “It is highly condemnable and we condemn it,” he said, blaming the state government for its failure to maintain law and order. “This government has failed in maintaining law and order and the result is that we have frequent reports of terrorists and smugglers sneaking in with drugs and weapons,” he said, adding that the state needs to do a lot more on the front.
The former CM, who is awaiting his elevation as the PCC president, said that the election process was on and soon a proper organisational set up would be put in place. He also slammed allegations that the Congress had failed to serve as an effective Opposition in the last three years. “We played a responsible role all these years and we are placed comfortably to come to power in the next elections,” he said.
City Centre case adjourned: The Court of Sessions Judge SP Bangarh adjourned to August 28 the hearing in the alleged multi-crore City Centre Scam involving former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh. The court heard the partial arguments advanced by Kala Navkar Jain, the lawyer of one of the former trustees of the Ludhiana Improvement Trust, against framing of charges.
The defence lawyer continued her arguments consecutively on the fifth hearing. She will continue her arguments in the next hearing. Captain Amarinder Singh, former Additional Advocate General Harpreet Sandhu, former Local Bodies Minister Choudhry Jagjit Singh, Raninder Singh, Raminder Richi and all other accused were present during the hearing
