On Friday, conflicting advice was issued by France and Britain to tens of thousands of women with breast implants made of cheap industrial silicone that some fear pose health risks.

Around 30,000 French women were urged by the government to seek eek removal of the implants, made by now-defunct French company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) that may rupture and cause inflammation and irritation.

But in Britain, where an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 women are affected, Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies said: “Women with PIP implants should not be unduly worried. We have no evidence of a link to cancer or an increased risk of rupture. If women are concerned they should speak to their surgeon.” Removing implants “carries risks in itself”, she said. “I do think that every woman who has these implants should go and get checked … It’s better to have them replaced than to worry about them rupturing,” said British woman Pat Demetriou, who had faulty PIP implants removed in 2010.

A 22-year-old computer operator has been arrested by the Task Force team for providing fake receipts and registration documents.

Working as a computer operator at Fame Consultancy at Moosarambagh, Mohd Fayaz was issuing handwritten APOnline receipts, providing fake registration documents and notary services.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

Following a tip-off, the task force team raided the consultancy premises on Monday at around 3pm and arrested the computer operator. However, the proprietor of the firm, and allegedly the brain behind the operation, Mohd Hamed Shareef, 44, managed to give them the slip. Shareef, a document writer, was doing registration work in Moosarambagh. He was arrested earlier by the Madhapur Police in a fake/forged documents case in 2009.

Although he did not own an APOnline franchisee, Shareef was collecting money from vehicle drivers who had violated traffic and motor vehicle rules in the name of another franchisee Mumtaz Ahmed Khan of Mak Communications. Shareef was issuing handwritten APOnline receipts using the name ‘Fame Consultancy’ with Fayaz’s help, but never remitted the cash into the traffic police account. The APOnline allows franchisees to collect fine from violators. Shareef and others had collected about Rs 1.75 lakhs so far.

Task force police 2,000 blank APOnline receipts, a computer, a printer, and 55 fake rubber stamps.

A study by the US Department of Education has revealed that 30 million adults in the U.S. are functionally illiterate and another department of education report has rated the United States at 35 out of 57 countries for mathematics literacy among 15-year-olds.

But things are good for the country when it comes to higher education. This finding was disclosed by a new study by Times Higher Education (THE), a London magazine that tracks the higher education market.

From in.news.yahoo.com:

THE’s top-ranked school is Harvard University, which is the oldest U.S. institution of higher learning, having been established in 1636 (Harvard ranked No. 8 in Forbes’ own annual ranking of colleges). Harvard finished first on THE’s teaching component and also scored highly on the impact of its research, which is calculated by looking at the papers produced at each institution and counting the number of citations they get.

THE revamped its methodology this year, with reduced weightings for the subjective results of a reputation survey, and more than doubled the number of metrics in the ranking, from 6 to 13. THE says its goal is to measure the three main missions of a university: teaching, research and knowledge transfer.

The ranking clearly favors big research institutions. “Research institutions are the key to the knowledge economy,” Baty says. Thus, for example, six of the eight schools in the Ivy League rank in the top 20 overall, but Brown and Dartmouth, smaller Ivies with fewer postgrad programs, lag well behind, at 55 and 99, respectively. Brown fared poorly when it came to research citations. Dartmouth got dinged for its lack of diversity among students and faculty and low scores for research reputation.

Schools in the United States dominate annual World University Rankings for 2010-11 by holding 72 places among the world’s top 200, including all the top five.
