Not "Our Dogs"

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:08:21 GMT

clipped by: pradeepkumar

There are a whopping one million stray dogs in Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. And they bite, sometimes! While for some they are lovable pets, others sense the lurking menace. Parents fearing brutal attacks on children have been demanding immediate removal of stray canines from streets and public places — unacceptable to animal rights activists. Municipalities remove some dogs, vaccinate some, and leave some. But after every gruesome attack, a parent group–animal rights activist drama explodes.

But, what about “animal rights”? “Animal right” is a contradiction in terms. All rights derive from human beings’ right to own oneself, from which follows an individual’s right to own things non-human. Slavery is unjust, but rearing cattle is business. And dogs are no exception to this.

Salicornia, oil-yielding plant for coastal belts

By Our Agriculture Correspondent

The highly salt-tolerant crop yields high quality edible oil and other valuable edible and non-edible products. (Inset) A close-up of the succulent bush.

SALICORNIA, IS a succulent, bushy plant found in the salty-terrains near the coast, and it holds a lot of promise as an ideal edible-oil yielding crop, which can be raised using seawater. "An improved variety of Salicornia developed by crossing with other highly drought-resistant and salt-resistant species of Salicornia, is being grown extensively in several parts of the world, including India.

The variety, SOS-10, grows well in desert sands irrigated with seawater and it can be grown along the sea shore as well," explains Felix Ryan, the Chennai-based Advisor for Development and Refugee Rehabilitation of the United Nations, and Chief Monitor, Survival by Seawater Global Movement.

Trial of anti-AIDS vaccine in Chennai lab a success

CHENNAI: India's HIV vaccine programme got a major boost with scientists of the Tuberculosis Research Centre (TRC) here reporting significant progress in the first phase of clinical trials for a vaccine to prevent AIDS.

Preliminary results of phase one trial have successfully proved the vaccine's safety and its ability to stimulate immune response (that might provide protection against infection), the centre's head told TOI.

Confirming the development, TRC director V D Ramanathan said: "The trial was to check the vaccine’s safety and also whether it fulfilled the secondary objective of stimulating immune response. We will announce the results to the world soon after we have the complete analysis of the data."

Symantec to expand research initiatives in India

V Rishi Kumar

Saturday, 07 June , 2008, 11:23

Hyderabad: Symantec Corporation is set to expand its research and development mandate out of India, with a focus on new generation products and customisation requirements for markets in the region.

The Vice-President of India product Operations, Symantec Corporation, Shantanu Ghosh, told Business Line that the company researchers are working on a host of new products from its development centres based in Pune and Chennai covering both enterprises and individual users.

“We now have over 2,500 people working on a wide range of products and contributing significantly to intellectual property (IP) creation. Many of them may eventually lead to patents. As a part of this, we have set up a committee that will assist in patent filings,” he said.

Chennai bookies bet Rs 300 cr on final

2 Jun 2008, 0344 hrs IST,A Selvaraj,TNN

CHENNAI: Nearly Rs 2,500 crore was up for grabs on Sunday as the IPL final between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals kept bookies across the country on their toes.

"For bookmakers in Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Agra (the major centres for betting), this was a mega event. Nearly Rs 2,500 crore was at stake, with almost Rs 300 crore from Chennai. It is estimated that a total of Rs 20,000 crore was wagered during the 44 days of IPL matches," a cricket broker told The Times Of India.

Speculation was high for Rajasthan Royals after their 12 victories in the Twenty-20 matches played in the Indian Premier Leagues, but Chennai Super Kings emerged as favourites for bookmakers across India after their stunning victory in the semi-final against Kings Punjab XI.

Cardiac care goes on rails

BS Reporter / Chennai/ Bangalore June 07, 2008, 3:38 IST

Well, that could be a reality if consumer appliances manufacturer BPL Limited succeeds in clinching a deal with the Indian Railways to install defibrillators — equipment that delivers a safe level of energy output required to revive a person who has suffered a sudden cardiac arrest — on trains in the country.

Speaking to reporters here on Friday, BPL Healthcare COO A Vijay Simha said, "We are holding discussions with the chief medical officer of the Railways in New Delhi. These defibrillators are ideal for installation on trains as well as railway stations as they can save many lives that are lost because of lack of timely intervention in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest."
