Koratpur (Orissa), Sep 4 (ANI): Four tribesmen died in Koraput district of Orissa after they were forced to eat a soup made of mango kernel recently.
Preliminary medical reports said the soup was bacteria-infected and the tribals, who belong to Narayanpatna block, died of food poisoning.
“My wife and two of my grand daughters died. They consumed mango kernel and wild leaves, as we didn’t have anything else to eat. Most of the times we consume this because we do not have rice at our homes,” said Balsi Suika, relative of the dead.
However, Surya Narayan Patra, the state revenue minister said that the tribals were provided with rice, but they often keep it for a number of days, leading to food poisoning.
“The habit of tribals is to keep cooked rice for four to five days which actually gets spoilt. In recent cases the reports from doctors confirm that they kept the food for a longer period of time. We have directed the extension officer and the collector to propagate them about it in those areas,” said Patra. (ANI)

Washington, Sept 4 (ANI): People who are poor at saving money are likely to have impulsive behaviour such as overeating, smoking and infidelity, according to a new study.
The study conducted through the BBC website measured people’s financial impulsivity by asking whether they would they prefer to receive 45 pounds in three days or 70 pounds in three months.
The findings revealed that nearly half of those who preferred the smaller-sooner sum of money were more likely to show a raft of other impulsive behaviours.
“One of the big questions about people’s financial planning is whether decisions to spend or save come from personal knowledge and experience of money matters or whether they reflect someone’s personality more generally,” said Dr Stian Reimers, ESRC Centre for Economic Learning and Social Evolution at UCL.
“Our research shows that people with an impulsive money-today attitude ignore the future in other ways.
“For example, they are more likely to smoke and more likely to be overweight, which may reflect a preference for immediate pleasure of nicotine and food over long-term good health,” Reimers added.
Moreover, people who chose to take the smaller-sooner amount of money were also more likely to admit to having had an affair in recent years.
The study also showed that those most likely to make impulsive financial choices were young, poorly educated, and on lower incomes.
“Learning to make decisions that lead to long-term happiness, not just instantaneous gratification, could benefit us all. Simple techniques can help reduce impulsivity: like imagining how you’d feel about your decision in a year’s time, or trying to avoid making decisions in the heat of the moment,” Reimers added.
The study appears in journal Personality and Individual Differences. (ANI)

New Delhi/Islamabad, Sep.4 (ANI): Union Home Minister P. Chidamabaram has told a private television channel that he may not respond to further demands from the Pakistan Government for information on the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai.
Stating that the process has reached a point of exhaustion and with no tangible results, Chidambaram said Islamabad’s description of India’s sixth dossier on the attack as a ‘Rehash’ could be the last straw as far as New Delhi is concerned.hidambaram’s comments came as Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Thursday that the latest dossier provided by India on the Mumbai attacks as a “rehash of information” contained in previous documents, indicating that it is inadequate for taking action against LeT founder Hafiz Mohammad Saeed.
“The last dossier from India was a rehash of information received in previous dossiers,” Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit also told a weekly news briefing.
The spokesman did not say how Pakistan intended to deal with Saeed, for whom Interpol recently issued a Red Corner Notice.
The trial of suspects arrested by Pakistani authorities in connection with the Mumbai attacks is proceeding and Islamabad is “serious about bringing the perpetrators to book,” Basit said.
At the same time, he said, Pakistan “still believes that the composite dialogue is the only way forward.” He also made it clear that if the stalled dialogue were to be resumed, “it would not be a favour to Pakistan because talks and exchange of views is the only way” to improve ties between the two sides.

Hyderabad, Sep.4 (ANI): Forty-eight hours after the tragic death of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajsekhara Reddy in a helicopter crash, a fierce succession race has begun notwithstanding the Congress party’s decision to put off the selection of a new leader till early next week.
Seeking to cash in on an emotional wave of sympathy, loyalists of the deceased chief minister have reportedly unleashed a strident campaign for making his son, Jaganmohan Reddy, the new chief minister.
“Jagan knew the mind of Rajasekhara Reddy. He alone can finish the unfulfilled agenda of his father,” said government chief whip Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka who is marshalling the MLAs in favour of Jagan.
Congress sources in Delhi have thrown up other names as possible successors. They include Union Urban Development Minister S. Jaipal Reddy, Minister of State for Defence M. Pallam Raju, former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N T Rama Rao’s daughter and junior Union minister Purandeshwari Devi and acting chief minister M K Rosaiah.
Almost all the state ministers, about 22 MPs and several Congress legislators have pitched for Jaganmohan Reddy through the media even as hundreds of party workers gathered at the secretariat,
CM’s camp office, Gandhi Bhavan and various traffic intersections are vocally making a similar demand.
The Jagan group has reportedly met Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily at the Lake View guest house to pursue their demand even as many Congress MLAs faxed individual memorandum to the party headquarters in New Delhi in support of Jaganmohan Reddy as CM.
They also called on Andhra Pradesh Governor N D Tiwari and submitted a list of 122 signatures in support of him being made the chief minister.
According to sources, there was even an attempt to pressure the governor to swear in Jagan as acting CM immediately, but that was abandoned as Rosaiah had already been sworn in by the time the loyalists reached Raj Bhavan.
Jagan, 36, is a first time MP from Kadapa and is merely 100 days old in politics. While Veerappa Moily made it clear that Rosaiah was only an interim CM and that the Congress high command will chose YSR’s successor in the next few days. (ANI)

London, September 4 (ANI): India has rejected applications from two US companies for patents on two key AIDS drugs in a move that could mean more people in poor countries will have access to life-saving medicines.
According to a report in Nature News, the decisions are the latest in a string of legal victories for Cipla, India’s largest generic drug maker.
The move could also signal that patent offices in emerging economies are set to take a tougher line than industrialized countries on which drugs deserve patents.
India’s patent office rejected claims by Gilead on Tenofovir – a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, which is a frontline drug against HIV/AIDS in poor countries – and by Tibotec on Darunavir, a newer and more expensive protease inhibitor used as a second-line drug.
Both drugs block enzymes that HIV needs to replicate.
The rejection of patents on the two drugs opens the way for India to not only produce cheaper generics for its own population, but also export them to countries where the drug is not patented – reaffirming India’s role as the ‘pharmacy’ of poor countries.
“We are delighted that we have been vindicated,” said Yusuf Hamied, chairman and managing director of Cipla.
The major battle was over Tenofovir, given its extensive use.
In 2006, Cipla and a group of Indian and Brazilian non-government organizations (NGOs) independently filed oppositions to Gilead’s patent applications on the drug – marking the first time foreign NGOs had joined Indian ones in contesting a drug patent, a move motivated by the fact that the decision could impact pricing of the drug in Brazil.
Gilead responded by striking a deal the same year with 13 other Indian generic manufacturers, giving them a license to make the drug for a 5 percent royalty.
“Gilead was worried that they might lose, so they offered licenses, but these came with a sting in the tail,” said Michelle Childs, director of Medecins sans Frontieres’s Access to Essential Medicines Campaign.
Manufacturers could only buy the active ingredient – the most expensive part of a drug – from Gilead-approved suppliers, and they could only sell the drug to 95 of the poorest countries, not to middle-income countries such as China and Brazil which nonetheless have substantial poor populations.
Together these restrictions limited the price reductions the generic makers could offer, according to Childs.
“The Indian patent office decision now guarantees such countries access to a cheap generic supplier,” she said.
“Cipla decided to fight rather than sign up to the license; it took a risk and it has paid off,” said Childs. (ANI)

Male’ (Maldives), Aug 22 (ANI): Defence Minister A K Antony has said India and Maldives are a ’shining model of how two countries of differing sizes can cooperate with each other as equals’.
Speaking at the concluding session of the India-Maldives Friendship Week here last night, he said: “India would like to share views on issues like climate change, economic development as well as problem areas such as drug trafficking, extremism and the threat of terrorism that is afflicting the region as well as the larger world.”
“We would be happy to work with Maldives in these areas to evolve collaborative and cooperative approaches,” he added.

Both countries have always emphasized the mutuality of interest and support each other in numerous ways- at the bilateral, regional and International level.”
“India is proud of this partnership and engagement and deeply value the friendship of the people of Maldives. In this quest, the people of Maldives can always count on India as a sincere and well-meaning friend,” he added.

London, August 22 (ANI): A cartoon version of the outgoing Doctor Who, David Tennant, will soon be seen in a new BBC series.
Entitled Dreamland, the series will see Tennant’s cartoon character visit the notorious US alien hotspot Roswell.
He stumbles across a mysterious alien artefact that leads him on a mission to rescue Rivesh Mantilax from the threat of the Viperox, and the clutches of the American military.
The show will also see Cassie Rice, played by Georgia Moffett.
A one-off episode in the main series had starred Moffett as the doctor’s daughter, Jenny.
Dreamland will be premiered as six seven-minute episodes on the BBC Red Button, and the Doctor Who website.
In the autumn, it will be aired on a single show on CBBC and BBC Two.
Fans will also be able to get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show via the website.
“Dreamland is a remarkable project and I’m thrilled with it,” Sky News quoted executive producer Russell T Davies as saying.
“Phil Ford is a wonderful writer and promises to send the Doctor into a whole new visual dimension,” Davies added.
Tennant is to appear in three live action Doctor Who specials later this year, before Matt Smith becomes the 11th Time Lord. (ANI)

Dhaka/New Delhi, Aug.19 (ANI): Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dipu Moni will undertake her maiden official visit to India on September 8 and is expected to discuss several bilateral issues, including border security, water and maritime boundary issues.
Foreign ministry officials, however, said the details of the visit are yet to be finalised.
An inter-ministerial meeting has already finalised the issues of bilateral talks.
The tour is also aimed at creating the ground for Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s visit to India at a convenient time.
Former Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee visited Dhaka in February this year and met Moni. Moni has also interacted with present External Affairs Minister S M Krishna. (ANI)

London, Aug 19 (ANI): A Brit dog’s home is said to be facing a crisis, for it is being overwhelmed by the growing number of cats arriving there.
Staff at Battersea dogs’ home in London are desperately appealing for would-be owners to come forward to help with a “cat emergency”.
Battersea is world-renowned as a dogs’ home, but it is less well known that it also has a cattery, which is nearly at full capacity because fewer and fewer people are choosing to adopt a cat.
The number of cats being found a new owner is nine percent down, compared with this time last year, with only 1,174 cats having been rehomed by Battersea this year, compared to 1,290 cats by July in 2008.
And there has been a summer influx of kittens. Of the 145 cat pens, 143 are in use and there are a further 173 cats waiting to be admitted.
“We are having a cat emergency at Battersea – we have more cats than there are in the entire cattery waiting to come in,” the Daily Star quoted a spokeswoman for the home as saying.
Ros Davies, “cat rehomer” at the rescue centre, the full name of which is Battersea Dogs And Cats Home, said there is a huge range of cats and kittens looking for new homes.
“Summer is traditionally a busy time of the year for us because the warm weather usually means there are more kittens brought in,” she said.
“But this summer’s nine per cent drop in rehoming figures has taken us all by surprise.
“People might think of Battersea as more of a home for dogs than cats, but cats are just as important and need loving new homes, too,” she stated.
A RSPCA spokesman said: “We have seen an increase over the past year in the number of abandoned pets. We put that partly down to the recession. What we don’t want is for people to volunteer if they can’t look after an animal. People should not come forward on a whim as it is quite a commitment to look after an animal,” he added. (ANI)

London, Aug 17 (ANI): Former Atomic Kitten member Kerry Katona has ignored the requests of friends to go to rehab after recent disclosure of her use of drugs, and has instead decided to go for a boozy holiday.
The troubled mother of four kids apparently plans to spend some time with her kids and husband Mark Croft at Tenerife, a Spanish island in order to “clear her head”.
However, similar trip in the past had turned out to be a disaster for the couple.
“Mark and Kerry have already been to Magaluf this summer. That ended in alcohol-fuelled arguments and snaps of Mark cavorting with strippers,” the BBC quoted a source as saying.
The insider said: “A boozy resort is the last place she should be heading. Everyone is worried sick but she won’t see sense.”
Katona was recently filmed snorting a line of what appears to be cocaine in her bathroom, while her children were present in the house.
The footage can lead her to face social services probe over her fitness to look after her children.
A source said: “Kerry’s attitude towards the footage beggars belief. She needs to stay and face her demons but she’s running away to hide. Kerry’s kidding herself that this will all blow over. Everyone hopes she will ask for help but she seems more interested in finding out who planted a camera in her bathroom.” (ANI)

London, Aug 17 (ANI): Katy Perry has confessed that as a child she used to pray to God to have big boobs.
“I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn’t be able to see my feet,” the Sun quoted her as saying.
“Eventually that request was granted. A bit of divine intervention displays the power of prayer,” she added.
The singer also said that she avoids wardrobe malfunction by skipping in her outfits before going on stage.
“Every time before I go on stage, or go out where I know there will be a lot of Press, I take a skipping rope and spend about ten minutes, fully clothed, skipping,” she said.
“I look like Rocky. This way I can ensure that everything is firmly in place and I won’t have a wardrobe malfunction.
“Don’t want those boulders doing a show of their own,” she added. (ANI)

London, Aug 17 (ANI): British children spend ten hours a day glued to TVs, computers, mobiles and games consoles, according to a new survey.
The survey by energy firm Npower found that square-eyed youngsters aged seven to 16 spend a shocking four months a year – staring at screens.
Experts warn that by shunning outdoor games, kids are risking their health.
The health risks include asthma and damage to the brain’s vital prefrontal cortex, leading to obesity and movement difficulties.
The computer took up most of kids’ time, with the average child spending three hours and 44 minutes surfing the web. They also devoted two hours and 43 minutes to the TV.
In the survey, kids admitted they would ‘feel lost’ without their gadgets. However, the poll of 3,000 youngsters found a third suffered from headaches.
Medical expert Dr Carol Cooper warned kids should not spend more than three hours a day in front of electronic screens.
“They are facing a variety of health problems,” the Sun quoted her as saying. (ANI)

London, Aug.14 (ANI): Former opener Marcus Trescothick has admitted that suggestions he might come out of international retirement for next week’s showdown Ashes Test had given him nightmares.
Trescothick quit international cricket 18 months ago because he suffers from depression and does not want to tour again, but that did not stop suggestions that he might be the man for a crisis at the Brit Oval.
Trescothick, 33, has dismissed the idea and revealed he had woken up early one morning in a cold sweat dreaming about playing for England again.
“There is a nightmare a lot of cricketers experience that they can’t get their pads on when they are due in to bat. My dream was a variation of that. I couldn’t get my England kit out of my bag! The other players were waiting for me on the pitch to do a team photo so I was in a right panic. I woke up in a cold sweat,” the Daily Express quoted him, as saying.
“Perhaps that told me something. It gives me a massive kick that I am still thought good enough to come back and play at international level, but I’ve gone too far down the line in battling my stress problems to change my mind now about ending my England career,” he added.
Trescothick said: “My wife, Hayley, and I did talk about what my reaction should be if I were asked and we ended up having a good chuckle about it. She was prepared to back me if I wanted to play at The Oval and part of us both fancied the thought of getting involved again.”
Trescothick and Mark Ramprakash have been two names touted this week as potential England saviours after the debacle of Headingley, which saw Australia level the series 1-1.
Trescothick, writing in his column in a West Country newspaper, added: “I had a great time playing international cricket and we both have some very happy memories of my days as an England player. But it just didn’t feel right.
“Nothing in me made me feel I had to do it so I came to the conclusion that I don’t want it enough. Andrew Strauss did ring me over the last few days, but it was to ask me to play in a golf day for him. We did talk about England, but there was nothing direct about my involvement and he knows I won’t be reconsidering.” (ANI)

Brisbane, Aug. 14 (ANI): A lawyer for erstwhile Indian-born terror suspect, Mohamed Haneef, has slammed the proposed changes in Australia’s anti-terror laws.
The Australian quoted Stephen Keim SC, as saying that the changes announced this week by Attorney-General Robert McClelland were “ad hoc” and fell short of the comprehensive overhaul needed to perfect the laws.
Keim specially criticized a provision that would impose a cap on the amount of time police could detain a terror suspect without charge.
Currently police have 20 hours to interview a suspect but can apply for downtime to pursue their investigations, potentially allowing for an open-ended period of detention.
“The government and those who advised them on these matters have not really thought through what they’re dealing with,” he said.
The Brisbane-based barrister also expressed reservations about plans to expand the definition of a terrorist act to include “psychological” as well as physical harm.
“This is not the major review of the terrorist laws that everybody says needs to happen. One of the major problems with the terrorist laws is that you have a broadly defined definition of terrorism and this makes it worse,” he said.
However, the man who drafted the existing suite of laws, former attorney-general Philip Ruddock indicated in-principle support for the Rudd government’s changes.
“I always saw counter-terrorist laws as an unfinished canvas. The reason for questioning detention was to ensure that a person would be available for questioning in terrorist offences rather than going to ground,” Ruddock said.
Ruddock said that existing laws protected detainees by requiring the police to provide justification for keeping them in custody.
“In the Haneef matter it was the subject of continuing judicial review and in the end the magistrate decided that the police had had sufficient time. It seems to me that the protection was there,” he added. (ANI)

Tottenham, Aug 14 (ANI): Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe is suing the police claiming that he was “unlawfully” stopped in his Range Rover and held for several hours at a police station in Harlow, Essex.The claim arises out of Defoe’s wrongful arrest for driving whilst disqualified last month,” The Sky News quoted Nick Freeman, Defoe’s solicitor, as saying.
“At the time the police were advised by Defoe, and on no less than five occasions by my office, that Defoe was not disqualified and that his detention was unlawful,” he added.
Freeman further said that Defoe had to face lots of trouble following his arrest and accused the police of misplacing his car.
“Instead, in addition to being locked in a cell, the police were unable to recall where his car had been impounded and were not prepared to return his car keys (which also contained house keys) until he produced documentation to his vehicle,” he added.
Freeman also said that the claim was not for money, but for principle and any damages awarded to Defoe would be donated to charity.
Meanwhile, Essex Police has apologised for the issue, and informed that an official investigation is being carried out to sort of the mistake.
“We’ve formally apologised, acknowledging our mistake, which was due to an inputting error. An internal investigation is under way to determine why this error occurred and to ensure that a similar mistake is not repeated in the future,” an Essex Police spokesman said. (ANI)

Karachi, Aug.13 (ANI): Sugar prices in Pakistan have hit an all time high of 52 rupees per kilogram.
The prime reason behind the sudden steep rise in the price of one of the most important daily commodity is a calculated strategy chalked out by major players of the sugar industry with help from important government personalities.
According to The News, the sugar mafia in the country has undermined orders from the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) and has manipulated decision-making at the Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) to achieve the mischievous target of increasing the sugar prices.
The command with which this mafia works can be gauged from the fact that ECC’s order to release sugar at a controlled price of 38 rupees per kilogram through ration stores and utility shops is yet to be implemented.
This is not the first time that sugar prices have reached sky high in Pakistan. During former President General Musharraf’s regime sugar prices had touched the then peak of 35 rupees per kilogram.
A probe was ordered against the political big wigs close to the Musharraf government at that time. However, charges were dropped later on Musharraf’s personal request.
Observers believe that the current scam would also subside with time forcing Pakistanis to spend much more on sugar this Ramzan. (ANI)

Islamabad, Aug 13 (ANI): An 80-year-old woman in Pakistan was allegedly raped by a 70-year-old ‘hakeem’ in his clinic after he intoxicated her.
The elderly woman registered an FIR against the accused Ahmed Din and Kot Lakhpat police arrested him on her complaint, charging him with rape, unnatural offence and intoxication, reports the Daily Times.
The complainant, Fateh Bibi, in her application submitted stated that she went to Ashraf Dawakhana in Awami Colony for medicine for her headache.
She said the hakeem gave her some medicine and advised her to take it right then, saying that it would relieve her of pain immediately.
Fateh alleged that after taking the medicine, she fell unconscious and the hakeem tied her up and undressed her.
She said the accused raped and sodomised her. She requested the police to take action against the accused for raping her and hurting her by giving her a poisonous substance.
Kot Lakhpat Police Station House Officer (SHO) Farooq Ahmed said the police had registered an FIR against the hakeem and arrested him. He said the medical examination of the woman had proved the allegations.
He said above all, the accused had confessed his crime. The police would produce him in the court today (Thursday) to get his physical remand. He said police were interrogating the accused, who had not confessed to any other crime yet.
