Mel Gibson: Discrimination Witness?

The sheriff who arrested Mel Gibson for his suspicion that Mel Gibson was driving under the influence now wants his help when it comes to his discrimination trial. The sheriff is claiming that after he arrested Gibson he was discriminated against. Another possible witness for James Mee – the sheriff – is said to be another Los Angeles County Sheriff by the name of Lee Baca.

So why was James Mee discriminated against?

James Mee feels that he was discriminated against back in 2006 because he was Jewish. Supposedly he was discriminated against by his superiors because they forced him to remove references to an anti- Semitic tirade by Gibson from a report and then later down the line that even ostracized him.

James Mee has had a hard time getting an attorney to even look at his case according to our sources. As you may have noticed this event took place years ago and they are just now getting it brought to trial. Many attorneys turned down the case stating that James Mee did not endure discrimination yet obviously he has found someone who believes him and is willing to help him fight for his rights now.

Lack of sleep ups risk of colon cancer

Lack of sleep has been already linked with higher risks of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and death.

Researchers from University Hospitals (UH) Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine found that individuals who averaged less than six hours of sleep at night had an almost 50 per cent increase in the risk of colorectal adenomas compared with individuals sleeping at least seven hours per night.

Adenomas are a precursor to cancer tumours, and left untreated, they can turn malignant. “A short amount of sleep can now be viewed as a new risk factor for the development of the development of colon cancer,” said Li Li, the study s principal investigator.

In the study, patients were surveyed by phone prior to coming into the hospital for scheduled colonoscopies at UH Case Medical Center.

They were asked demographic information as well as questions from the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which obtains information about the patient s overall sleep quality during the past month.

The PSQI asks for such information as how frequently one has trouble sleeping and how much sleep one has had per night.

Of the 1,240 patients, 338 were diagnosed with colorectal adenomas at their colonoscopy. The patients with adenomas were found in general to have reported sleeping less than six hours compared to those patients without adenomas (control) patients.

The researchers also found a slightly stronger association of sleep duration with adenomas with women compared to men, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Dum Maaro Dum lands up in controversy once again

For years, whenever one heard of ‘Dum Maaro Dum’, one would recollect the hippy looking Zeenat Aman singing the famous track from the super hit film Hare Rama Hare Krishna. Circa 2011… today when one hears Dum Maaro Dum, there are so many first that comes to the person’s mind. On one hand, there’s Deepika and her booty-licious body that gyrates to the groovy track, followed by controversies galore!

Just couple of days after controversies surrounding Dum Maaro Dum settled down, the producers seem to have step into another tricky situation. This time, it’s in the form of Frankfinn Institute, one of the high-flying institutes that groom youngsters for aerial jobs. Reportedly, Samir Valia, Frankfinn’s Vice President said that when Fox Star Studio had approached them for having an in film branding, they were game for the same, and they shared their logos, and trademarks and other required material. But when they realized that the overall portrayal of the airhostess shown in the film does not mirror the quality and standards that they impart to their students, they refused the offer for in film branding.

What then shocked Valia was the fact that the filmmakers apparently made a logo which was strikingly similar to theirs! Valia, when he filed the case, said that, his institute does not intend to stall the resale of the film or anything of that sort. But they do want to remove the tarnishing and damaging portions from the film.

Further details regarding the case are awaited.

They said that the jail authorities acted on the behest of former city police officer Saud Aziz and SP Khurram Shahzad who were accused in this case. Special Judge Rana Nisar Ahmed accepted their application and issued notices to the respondents for next date of hearing

Meanwhile, former city police officer Saud Aziz and superintendent police Khurram Shahzad were not formally indicted because the public prosecutors could not enter Adiala jail.
