As the Christmas season is fast approaching, the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) continues to see a decline in blood collection.At a press conference held on Monday, Minister of Health Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, told media operatives that even though there has been an increase in the number of voluntary blood donations countrywide,Cheap China Jerseys, organisations at present are concentrating on the upcoming Christmas season, and as such blood drives are becoming fewer.At this time also, the NBTS is experiencing another severe shortage of blood. National Blood Donor Manager of the NBTS, Shameeza Mangal, told this newspaper that there are three open heart surgeries scheduled for this month, which will further deplete the stocks currently held at the NBTS.Also, it was noted that there are hundreds of people in the hospitals who need blood now.In light of the busy season, Dr. Ramsammy urged organisations to continue hosting blood drives as there is still a demand for a daily supply of blood.According to Dr. Ramsammy,cheap jerseys, voluntary donations cover 68 percent of all blood donations,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, nationally. This, he said,Cheap Jerseys From China, has made the blood drives for the year “a tremendous success,” but he added that there is still however a long way to go to attain the 8,000 units target by the end of the year.The Minister is appealing to the public to donate blood to the NBTS in order to provide the much needed life-saving commodity, as there are a number of patients in the hospital, including several children who need special treatment which may also require large amounts of blood.While the buffer stock is at a level lower than the Ministry desires on a daily basis,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, Dr. Ramsammy said it is at a higher level than that of last year.Mangal told Kaieteur News on Monday that there is still a need to have a buffer supply at the NBTS for emergency situations, as she explained that hospitals call on a daily basis for more than 50 units of blood.The Health Minister and Mangal both revealed that apart from the general need for blood there is a critical need for B plus and B negative blood types to be added to the blood supply.In this regard, both individuals appealed to persons with the ‘B’ blood type to make the extra effort to walk into the NBTS to make the donation.As of Monday,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, Dr. Ramsammy said the NBTS held some 6,300 units of blood and that a minimum of 1200 units is needed to accomplish the 8000 unit target.

– further 10% in 2012By Leonard Gildarie The country’s seafood operators have agreed to slash their fleet by 10 per cent next year taking it up to 20% in 2012 as the industry continues to battle falling production from a dwindling fish stock in the region.Local fishing companies will reduce their trawler fleet by 10% next year as the industry grapples with a dwindling stock.During a meeting with Minister of Agriculture, Robert Persaud,Cheap Jerseys, yesterday, President of Guyana Association of Trawler Owners and Seafood Processors (GATOSP), Leslie Ramalho, disclosed that the body which a few months ago had suggested a mandatory reduction of the trawlers by 20 per cent in the new year, has agreed to implement a 10 per cent instead.By 2012 the entire industry, which has just around 100 trawlers, will then further reduce the fleet by another 10 per cent, making it a total of 20 per cent.The association is also mulling the implementation of a vessel tracking system (VMS) and is studying a proposal by Slovenia’s EMA Group which recently made its pitch for the equipment sales in Guyana.Not only will the system allow Government to track fishing boats in open waters and even ensure that the vessels stay within the economic zones. It would be using satellites. The system could allow seafood operators to determine whether workers are stealing their catches.The VMS system also has the possibility of distress signals being sent in case of any emergencies, including piracy attacks.At the meeting with Minister Persaud and the association were Coast Guard and fisheries officials.According to Persaud,Wholesale China Jerseys, Government is willing to assist in finding mechanisms that will allow fisheries to buy the VMS equipment which is being sold for an average of ?1,500.He also noted that Government will be moving to put regulations in place to ensure that VMS is mandatory on all trawlers.With a number of local and foreign companies involved in oil exploration and communication, the fisheries association also indicated that it will be exploring the possibilities of offsetting some of the VMS costs with possible funding from these companies. CGX Energy,NFL Jerseys Cheap, REPSOL and GT&T were among some of the companies named.Following a spate of piracy with recent years, Government had attempted to entice artisanal vessels and trawlers to get hooked up with a vessel monitoring system but with little success.According to Minister Persaud, recently, while Guyana is open to new technology,Discount Football Jerseys, the reluctance of the fishing industry to come onboard has been a problem.With the fishing industry undergoing widespread changes in regulations, as overexploitation of fishing zones remains a major problem, the official said that even a piracy fund that was launched, failed to attract interest.In the meantime, there have been sporadic incidences of piracy. With piracy still being a major concern, the use of the equipment will assist in companies and authorities to pinpoint locations of the vessels using satellites and mobile phone networks.Persaud acknowledged that quite a number of fisherfolk went out of business fearing for their lives and properties following piracy attacks.There is an estimated 100 trawlers and 200 small fishing boats’ licences being issued by Government annually, the issue of proper monitoring and surveillance is also a challenge.There have been accusations of boats leaving the demarcated fishing zones.Guyana has established a fishing advisory committee to examine ways in which the VMS could be introduced here.According to EMA Group officials,China NFL Jerseys, which was brought here RK Security, the need for tracking devices on boats is becoming more crucial,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, especially since Europe has been implementing measures that even blacklist countries showing unwillingness to stamp out illegal fishing.Guyana, the officials are convinced, could lead the way in the Caribbean, which has in the last count more than 15,000 small fishing boats and about 2,500 trawlers.One of the biggest concerns of operators is the very real threat faced over the reduction of catches. It was pointed out that in addition to smaller fish and shrimp, there is also the fact of unregulated boats which step in and out of the exclusive economic zones at will, further challenging efforts to sustain the industry.Already, neighbouring Suriname has restricted the number of trawlers allowed to fish and has mandated all vessels in the industry to be equipped with VMS to further restrict illegal fishing.It was also agreed earlier this year that a lo

Unusually high winds caused havoc yesterday afternoon on West Coast Demerara as one house was blown over and the roof removed from another in two separate villages.In Anna Catherina, an abandoned house collapsed at approximately 15:15 hours yesterday as the excessively high winds and rain beat upon it. No one was injured. A neighbour said, “Is de wind knock it down.”At approximately 15:45 hours,Cheap Wholesale Jerseys, a house in the Cornelia Ida (CI) Housing Scheme was badly damaged by the high winds as the roof was ripped off and thrown into the neighbour’s yard. Linden London, the owner of the damaged house, said he was at work in the Uitvlugt Estate when he got a call from a neighbour telling him what had happened.An entire section of the roof was pulled off, including the rafters, and thrown into the yard of London’s next door neighbour. Electrical wires and fittings were also torn out when the roof was ripped off of the building.London said that he was thankful that no one was hurt during the incident,Jerseys From China, and notes that he is also very thankful that there was no fire, considering the electrical fittings were ripped out.London is estimating the damage to be in the vicinity of $800,000.There was also extensive damage to the furniture inside of the house which was exposed to the rain.What London and his neighbours find strange is that the wind was coming from the direction of the land, not the ocean. In Cornelia Ida,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, it is usual for a steady supply of wind to be coming from the ocean.The neighbour,Wholesale Basketball Jerseys, Roopchand Dasrath, into whose yard the roof was thrown, also reported damages to his property. There were damaged and broken rafters, damaged zinc sheets and a cracked concrete wall. Despite the damage, Dasrath did not seem upset or angry about the situation.Other villagers noted that the rainfall and wind speed were both excessive and not normal for the area. While no one saw the roof being ripped off the building,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, numerous people reported hearing the sound and feeling the impact as the roof was thrown into the other yard.London said that he has never had any problems with the roof of the building before, save a loose zinc sheet which he had re-secured some months earlier.The interior of the house is still under construction,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and London explained that he planned to salvage what he could and secure it in the downstairs of the building, where he would be staying until he could repair the damage done to the roof.

– NAPS credits effective treatment programmeAlthough negligible, the Ministry of Health last year recorded an increase in the prevalence of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). This development comes even as the Ministry, through its HIV fighting arm, the National AIDS Programme Secretariat (NAPS), has been making ardent strides to reduce the impact of the epidemic.This state of affairs was in fact highlighted in a statement issued by NAPS yesterday.It was revealed that while in 2011 there was a 1.1 per cent prevalence of the disease, the prevalence rate mounted to 1.3 per cent.? This percentage, according to NAPS, accounted for the prevalence among the adult population, an age range covering individuals between 15 and 49 living with HIV in Guyana.However, NAPS has attributed the subtle increase to the effective treatment programme whereby persons with the disease are adhering to their treatment. This has allowed for infected persons to not only live longer and healthy lives, but even fewer deaths are AIDS-related.Moreover, it has been established by NAPS that the Estimated Annual AIDS deaths have been reduced to less than 100, compared to less than 500 in 2011.? It has been deduced too that the number of persons newly infected with HIV during the past year is estimated at less than 500. This, according to NAPS, comes even as the national HIV programme is seeking to significantly reduce new infections.However, reducing the prevalence of the disease continues to be a challenge, since Guyana’s epidemic is characterized as one concentrated among key populations at higher risk, namely female sex workers and men who have sex with men.“These populations along with miners and loggers have been prioritized in the recently launched HIVision 2020 – the eight-year Strategic Plan for the HIV Programme – and will see intensified efforts to curb high risk sexual behaviour and promote behavioural changes among these groups,Wholesale China Jerseys,” NAPS has disclosed.A complete report on the global HIV epidemic,Cheap Jerseys, based on the 2012 Estimates, will be published by the United Nations AIDS Programme (UNAIDS) in time for the UN General Assembly in September 2013 on the Mid-Term Review of the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS. Estimates, according to NAPS, will be developed for countries on an annual basis as opposed to biennially as was previously the case.The Estimates would be presented in detail, in addition to remarks from the Minister of Health,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran; Dr Shanti Singh, NAPS Programme Manager,NFL Jerseys Supply, and Dr Roberto Campos, Country Director of UNAIDS.NAPS will today spearhead a stakeholder dissemination meeting on the 2012 National HIV/AIDS Estimates. And according to NAPS, the purpose of the meeting is to present to a wide stakeholder group the estimates arrived at for the HIV epidemic from a UNAIDS workshop conducted in May 2013 in Trinidad.The stakeholders’ group will comprise Coordinators of NAPS, Directors and Programme Managers within the Health Ministry,Wholesale Jerseys, representatives from Civil Society groups, international technical agencies and external funding partners among others.Draft Estimates were developed at the Workshop which was attended by representatives from the Caribbean Region and have been finalized by individual countries over the subsequent months with technical support from the UNAIDS Estimates Team in Geneva.According to NAPS, “these Estimates are important to the national HIV/AIDS programme and the health sector as a whole, since they provide an indication as to the progress in reducing the impact of the epidemic.”Estimations are developed for indicators such as HIV prevalence in the adult population,Cheap Stitched MLB Jerseys, new HIV infections and need for Antiretroviral Treatment among Adults and children, as well as pregnant women.

“I urge the people of Guyana to look at this as a test case… If the Leader of the Opposition’s position is to urge people to break the law when the law is to ensure financial probity, what moral authority does he have to ever speak about corruption?”?President Bharrat Jagdeo says he will extend the two-week ultimatum that he had issued to Members of Parliament to declare their incomes and assets to the Integrity Commission or face the courts.According to the President, he has observed the recent politicking that has been taking place as a result of his declaration, and has posited that he does not want anyone to have any excuses. He has consequently ordered Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon, to ensure that the commission is fully resuscitated, hence the extension.“I suspect that some members may have some things to hide,” said Jagdeo,Cheap NFL Jerseys, while pointing out that during a recent forum one person had suggested that she did not want the nation to know what was the income or assets of her husband.?The President, however, was adamant that the declaration of incomes and assets was mandatory under the Integrity Commission Act of 1997. “One would think that my comment would be a catalyst for the defaulters to comply with the law…Unfortunately, this has been used as a political football.”According to the President,Cheap Jerseys From China, the law was passed with a view to ensuring that there was no corruption in public life.He noted that he has heard statements that the body (Integrity Commission) is unconstitutional in that it was nor properly constituted, and has responded by saying that, despite the concerns of legality or problems with Commissioners,Cheap Jerseys Online, there was a mechanism in place, namely the Secretary of the Integrity Commission, and an obligation to the law.He also called for civil society and the donor communities to speak out on the issue, given that in many occasion these bodies have complained about transparency.Jagdeo was also adamant. “I urge the people of Guyana to look at this as a test case…If the Leader of the Opposition’s position is to urge people to break the law when the law is to ensure financial probity, what moral authority does he have to ever speak about corruption?”As it relates to the fact that several persons have been allowed to default over the years, with no action from the Integrity Commission,Cheap Jerseys From China, Jagdeo said that the commissioners may have been intimidated by the so called, “big boys.”He added, however, that the public should not seek to cast the blame on the commission, given that the defaulters were legislators and as such should have been upholding the law.As it relates to the hesitancy in accepting the resignation of Chairman of the Integrity Commission, Bishop Randolph George, President Jagdeo said that he suspected that Bishop George may have been bullied into that position.The other members are Secretary of the Guyana Council of Churches, Nigel Hazel, and President of the Central Islamic Association,Wholesale Jerseys 2018, Fazeel Ferouz.According to the relevant legislation, “Where a person who is required to do so fails to file a declaration in accordance with this Act,Adidas NHL Jerseys China, or to furnish particulars under Section 18, the Commission or the President, as the case may be, shall publish the fact in the Gazette and in a daily newspaper.”Under this piece of legislation, there is a specific list of office holders who are required to declare assets to the commission, and the commissioners declare their assets to the President.According to the Act, the penalty for failing to comply is: “a fine of $25,000 and to imprisonment for a term of not less than six months nor more than one year; and where the offence involves the non-disclosure by the declarant of property which should have been disclosed in the declaration, the magistrate convicting the person shall order the person to make full disclosure of the property within a given time; and on failure to comply with the order of the magistrate within the given time, the said offence shall be deemed to be a continuing offence and the person shall be liable to a further fine of ten thousand dollars for each day on which the offence continues.”Members of Parliament and other senior officials who are required by law to declare their assets to the Integrity Commission now have an unclear deadline to declare their incomes and assets or face the courts.

Two nights after her four-year-old home was partially damaged by fire,Jerseys NFL China, a Mahaicony businesswoman again suffered as another room was mysteriously damaged in a blaze Wednesday evening.According to a shocked,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, Monica Manohar, it is the last straw and she is now preparing to leave her multi-million-dollar residence at Cottage for good.Fire officials believe that the blaze was not electrical in origin and may have been deliberately set.

On Wednesday night, too emotional to drive to the airport to pick up her son, Andre, she asked her relative, Kelly Chichester, who has a workshop next door, to accompany her.“We were ‘bout half an hour away when we get a call about smoke. We tried to get some credit and call back and then we turned.”A relative working next door said that smoke was seen around 20:00hrs and a passing police patrol was alerted. Although Manohar claimed that she had left her front door unlocked because of smoke damage in the home, neighbours and police were forced to use a scaffold to enter the back bedroom and then water was used to extinguish the fire in the room.It apparently started in the closet area of the second room where there were no electrical outlets, a fact that has the family and investigators puzzled.According to the woman’s son, Andre, it is believed that someone used the scaffold that was left from Monday’s fire to enter the home.“All meh life’s work has gone.

INJURY REPORT: Jamaal Charles has been working out for weeks but has yet to be active on game day for the Chiefs. The playmaking running back tore his right ACL in Week 5 last season and Reid is making sure Charles is 100 percent before turning him loose.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs couldn't get out of their own way in a frustrating Week 2 loss in Houston, a litany of penalties, turnovers and miscues last Sunday spoiling their chance of a 2-0 start.
"He's getting older, but he's wiser," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "I want him to get old. I'm going to try to talk to you long enough that he gets old."

Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 370 yards without a pick, running back Matt Forte continued his torrid start, and the Jets (1-1) finished with nearly 500 yards of total offense last week.
Kansas City knows that keeping up with the Jets' offense will require a better start .
"There's potential for us to be, when we're hitting on all cylinders, to be really, really good," Forte said of the offense. "But what I've always said about potential,Cheap NFL Jerseys, it's always up there. You've just got to go up there and get it."
"Todd is steering there ship here with the players. They're developing into his personality, which is smart and tough."
"It comes down to lack of execution. I know you guys hate hearing that," Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. "This past week I think every single drive we had, be it a penalty, a turnover,Cheap NFL Jerseys, a negative play — that stalls a drive. And those are hard to overcome against a good defense."
"They've done a great job of putting this thing together," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of his counterpart, Todd Bowles, and Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan.
"They play good, solid football,Cheap Jerseys From China," Reid said. "That's how they do it."
Revis isn't the only one having issues,Cheap NFL Jerseys Supply, though. New York is ranked 26th in pass defense.
Meanwhile, Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall has been dealing with a slight knee sprain that he hurt against Buffalo. Marshall has nine catches for 133 yards this season.
As the Chiefs try to turn things around, and the Jets look to keep their momentum going, here are some of the story lines worth watching:
In short, it was anything but solid football.
They lost three fumbles last week against the Texans . They were flagged nine times for 77 yards. They were 0 for 2 in the red zone and converted just three times on third down.
New York did just about everything right — offensively, at least — in a 37-31 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
The 30-year-old Forte needs one TD catch to join Marshall Faulk, Marcus Allen, Thurman Thomas and Herschel Walker as the only players in NFL history with 8,000 yards rushing, 4,000 yards receiving and 20 touchdown receptions in his career.
FASTER STARTS: The Chiefs have managed only a field goal in the first half of each of their first two games, and the resulting deficit has forced them to abandon their vaunted run game early.
REVIS ISLAND: Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis struggled mightily in Week 1 against Cincinnati's A.J. Green, then had his hands full against Buffalo's Marquise Goodwin — an abysmal start that has many wondering whether the 31-year-old has finally lost a step.
Probably made it tough to watch film of the Jets this week, too.
FITZ FLASHES: Ryan Fitzpatrick was the AFC offensive player of the week after directing New York to a win that included 493 total yards, 28 first downs and seven drives of 56 yards or longer, all of which produced points in the red zone.
"I think it's just getting in a groove," Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley said. "We have to find our way earlier. Once we get rolling, our offense will start doing the things you're used to seeing."
In fact, it was hard to find any issues when New York had the ball — all 40 minutes of it.
Fitzpatrick finished 24 of 34 for 374 yards and a touchdown. And according to the Jets, the offense set a team record for yardage (364) by wide receivers in a game: Eric Decker (126 yards), Brandon Marshall (101), Quincy Enunwa (92) and Jalin Marshall (45).
That's how the Chiefs should start doing it.
FORTE'S START: The Jets' Matt Forte has been the workhorse out of the backfield, ranking second in the league with 196 yards on 53 carries. He also tied a career best last Thursday night when he ran for three touchdowns in a 37-31 victory at Buffalo.
Reid should know about Bowles: They crossed paths in the 1990s in Green

It's not difficult to pinpoint the teams that have unexpectedly prospered or just as stunningly plummeted halfway through the 2016 season.
BALTIMORE
Yep, we're looking at you, Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals. Last January, you played for a spot in the Super Bowl. Right now, you're hanging with the mediocrities (or worse) of the NFL.
Surprise: Top draft pick DE Joey Bosa. After a holdout and hamstring injury that cost him four games, he has become a force on the Chargers' defense, particularly in opposing backfields.
But what about the individuals who are rising or flopping? The Associated Press sports writers who cover the 16 AFC teams suggest the following.
NEW YORK JETS
Disappointment: QB Joe Flacco has looked tentative in the pocket and has more interceptions than TDs. Granted, the Ravens have no running game and the left side of the O-Line has been injured, but still ...
PITTSBURGH
Surprise: TE Jack Doyle, claimed off waivers from Tennessee in 2013, has steadily progressed each season and already surpassed his previous career totals in yards and TD catches.
Disappointment: Coach Chuck Pagano. After signing a four-year deal, being given more authority over some decisions and armed with a healthy Andrew Luck,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, it looked as if Pagano would take his second chance and run with it. Instead, the Colts have gotten stuck in neutral.

Ask them, and there's really no uncertainty at all.

"Without a doubt in my mind, I'm playing," Stewart said.
"He's probably at all times one of the top-10 biggest players on the field," Ward said. "He's a talented dude. He's got a big arm. He can run. Did he win MVP yet? Well, he's probably going to win the MVP. He won the Heisman. He's a rare breed of athlete."
Ward and Stewart have yet to practice this week and are listed as questionable on the injury report.
"When we win."
That's why Ward needs to be at 100 percent — or close to it anyway — for this top-ranked defense. He could also see some time covering Greg Olsen, a tight end who " works well within that offense," Ward explained. "He has great hands. He runs good routes. He seems to be a smart player."
"I can't wait to get back in the Bay Area so I can taste that Bay Area air," Ward said. "Get that home feeling. Get the butterflies in your stomach.
Especially since this is basically a homecoming for Ward. He went to high school in Concord, California, which is about 60 miles away from Levi's Stadium.
"Just getting as much treatment as I can and that's really the plan right now,http://www.soccerpro.us.com/Arsenal-FC/," Stewart said. "I mean, get better along the way."
This has been a tumultuous season for Ward, who missed the first game of the season because of a league suspension and three more later in the year with an ankle ailment. But he's been a playmaker when he's been on the field. He finished the regular season with 61 tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles.
For the Denver Broncos, though, the strong safety's guarantee just might make the difference in one.
"Extra days are always needed for healing,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, so I definitely think it helps," Stewart said. "It's just getting healthy and getting ready to play."
"It doesn't really get too much more special than the 50th Super Bowl anniversary at home, in your hometown. I don't think you can write a better story than that. Unless we win.
Same plan for Ward,cheap nfl jerseys china, because home is waiting.
"There's something about where you come from — the air,Wholesale Jerseys USA, the grass, the sounds — that brings up memories," Ward said. "Sometimes, I'll be somewhere away from home and smell that grass and it reminds me of playing Pop Warner. This is going to take me back of when I was dreaming of this moment."
Ward vowed he would play a week from Sunday despite a tender ankle. Even more,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, free safety Darian Stewart pledged to be back, too, after spraining the MCL in his right knee during a win over New England in the AFC title game. Their health is the biggest question mark for Denver heading into Super Bowl 50 against Carolina.
But trying to bring down Panthers quarterback Cam Newton may prove to be a nightmare. These two safeties could prove instrumental in containing Newton, who's 6-foot-5, 245 pounds and does just about everything well.
Stewart almost instantly fit in since joining the team this season. He intercepted Brady last weekend before hurting his knee, an injury that doesn't have him all that concerned.
Ward was just as adamant: "Anytime you get an opportunity to play in this game, and you can run a little bit, I'm guaranteeing you're going to be out there."
Stewart banged up his knee midway through the third quarter, while Ward left early in the fourth. That left backup safeties Shiloh Keo and Josh Bush to patrol the field against Tom Brady & Co.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — T.J. Ward's Super Bowl guarantee doesn't exactly possess the same sort of sizzle as Joe Namath once promising — and delivering — a win.
Only, now it's a reality.
