India win Kotla Test, India lead the Series 1-0.

India defeated West Indies in the first Test of three-match series here at Ferozshah Kotla on Wednesday. India lead the series 1-0.
 India raced through the longish home stretch of 124 runs to register their first win in seven Tests. Anchoring the chase was Sachin Tendulkar, who overtook Rahul Dravid as the leading run-getter in chases, and rushing through it was VVS Laxman, who calmed any nerves there might have been after Dravid's wicket early in the day. Along the way Laxman crossed 1000 runs in chases, including an eighth score of fifty or more. This was also the third time since last summer that Laxman was in the middle at the successful completion of a 200-plus
Sachin Tendulkar's quest for a record 100th international ton continued, but India rode on his fluent 76 to script an admirable come-from-behind five-wicket victory over the West Indies with more than four sessions to spare on Wednesday
Chasing 276 for victory, VVS Laxman (58 not out) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (0) were at the crease when India successfully completed the chase to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, on the fourth day of the match.

Off-spinner R Ashwin, who took match haul of nine for 128, including six in the second innings, also played a big role in India's triumph as he became only the third player to win the man-of-the-match award on debut.

Starting from his overnight score of 33, Tendulkar looked set to achieve the incredible feat of scoring his 100th international century till Devendra Bishoo spoilt his plan with a well-disguised googly, leaving over 10,000 spectators at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium stunned.


The champion batsman faced 148 deliveries and spent 201 minutes, 93 of them on Wednesday, during his stay at the crease. His knock was studded with 10 sweetly-timed hits to the fence.

Resuming at 152 for two and needing another 124 runs to win with eight wickets in hand, India lost Rahul Dravid (31) early on the fourth day.

But Tendulkar along with Laxman guided the hosts to 233 with a 71-run partnership before disaster struck some time before the lunch break.

India were just 43 runs away from achieving a hard-fought come-from-behind victory and take a 1-0 lead, when Tendulkar made his way back to the dressing room, much to the disappointment of the crowd.

But Laxman stood firm to guide the Indians with yet another half-century in the fourth innings of a match. He struck six boundaries and faced 105 balls.

This was the second best chase on Indian soil, equalling the one by the West Indies, incidentally at this very ground in 1987, when Vivian Richards stroked his way to a century to guide his team to victory.

The highest remains the 387 for four India scored against England in Chennai in 2008-09.
Tendulkar, who had completed 15,000 runs in this form of the game on Tuesday, kick-started the day on a positive note as he tucked Darren Sammy to the fine-leg boundary in the first over.
Chasing a target of 276, India reached the home on Day-4 with five wickets remaining.

Edwards gave the West Indies a glimmer of hope when he breached through the defence of Rahul Dravid with the one that jagged in a long way on landing, but Tendulkar was in his elements from the word go.
For India, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar topped the score with 76 runs. However, Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar missed the much awaited 100th International ton as he was dismissed by Bishoo for 76.

Before getting out Tendulkar smashed half-century to take India close to victory on Day-4 against West Indies. It was 8th fifty against West Indies and 62nd in Test cricket.

Tendulkar looked good for the monumental landmark as he hit boundaries at will and accumulated runs rapidly on Day 4 before young Bishoo got better of him. The master hit 10 boundaries in his 148-ball 76 knock.

Tendulkar also added quick 71-run partnership with VVS Laxman to lead the Indian run chase. The duo compiled runs rapidly as India went pass 200-run mark in the morning session of the fourth day quickly.

Tendulkar hit five boundaries to complete his 62nd Test fifty off 111 balls after India lost Rahul Dravid (31) early on Day 4.

Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag (55) and VVS Laxman (58 not out) gave vital contribution with the bat.

For West Indies, Darren Sammy claimed two wicket while Devendra Bishoo, Fidel Edwards and Samules scalps one batsman each.
West Indies pacer Fidel Edwards dismissed Rahul Dravid early on Day-4 of the first Test here at Ferozshah Kotla on Wednesday.

Dravid just added one run to his overnight total before bowled out on a brilliant yorker off Edwards.

The Kotla Test proved dream debut for R Ashwin. He took total nine wicket in the match, including maiden five-wicket haul. He was also adjudged 'Man of the Match'. He was the thirdman to get this award in debut match.

Earlier, Chasing a target of 276 runs, Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid have put India on driving seat on the third day of first Test against West Indies here at Ferozshah Kotla.

On the fourth day, India just needs 124 runs to win with eight wickets in hand. India were 152/2 at stumps day-3 and Tendulkar and Dravid were at the middle.

After 4-0 defeat in England, India have sniffed first victory here in Kotla. It will be a double bonanza if India register victory along with Tendulkar's 100th international hundred. Tendulkar needs 67 runs to complete his 100th Test ton.
However, the first session of the day-4 will be crucial. Both the batsmen will have to play with patience in the first hour. The ball is keeping low and slow and overnight dew will help West Indies bowlers in the first session.

Earlier, R Ashwin claimed his maiden five-wicket haul to reduce visitors for 180 in the second innings. Once again, Gambhir and Sehwag provided good start to India. Though, Sehwag once again failed to consolidate on good start and fell prey to Devender Bishoo after scoring 55 runs.

But, world's two most experienced batsmen, Tendulkar and Dravid, didn't allow West Indies to give further jolt.

Hats, trash and Romania’s oldest human remains

Village Museum


The Village Museum is an open-air museum spanning 30 acres in Bucharest’s Herestrau Park. True to its name, the museum recreates a 19th-century Romanian village, exhibiting steep-roofed houses, windmills, thatched barns, churches, log cabins and entire farms from the time period.

Straw Hat Museum
Transylvania’s Straw Hat Museum, housed in a 100–year-old peasant house, teaches visitors about the various hats from different regions and how to make them. Straw hats are a typical part of traditional Romanian dress for men, especially during the summer, and styles differ from region to region. According to the Eliznik cultural website, straw hats in Transylvania have high crowns, while the hats in Maramures are very small. The highlight of the museum is the largest straw hat in all of Romania – measuring in at two metres high. Go ahead, try it on!

Romania’s top five World Heritage sites
 Romania’s tourism profile has been slow to rise since EU membership and discount airlines both arrived in 2007. But with the country’s incredibly diverse, rewarding and relatively affordable offerings, that is not likely to last. Among the attractions currently drawing only modest crowds, here are five outstanding Unesco Wor

Museum of the Romanian Peasant
Delve into Romanian folk art at the Museum of the Romanian Peasant in Bucharest. Exhibitions display traditional pottery, costumes, paintings, sculptures and other artwork, dating as far back as the early 1800s. The building was formerly a museum dedicated to the Communist Party, so the basement still showcases Communist-era artwork, including busts of Lenin. Behind the museum, visitors can also explore a Northern Romanian-style wooden church.

Waste Museum
Europe’s first museum of waste opened last year in the Afi Palace Cotroceni mall, a massive shopping complex in Bucharest. Sponsored by Romania’s Ministry of the Environment and Forestry, the main goal of the Muzeul Deseurilor is to educate the public about recycling. Its exhibitions demonstrate how various categories of waste – plastic, metal, paper, glass, cardboard, electronics, etc – are managed in Romania, and there is a 60m walkway illustrating the history of garbage.

Petrol price hike to take call on Delhi on Mamata Banerjee

Stepping up pressure on its ally, the UPA, over petrol price hike, Trinamool Congress (TMC) has asked all its MPs to be in Delhi on Tuesday. Party leader Derek O'Brien tweeted today that the Trinamool leaders will meet the Prime Minister on Tuesday.
Even if Mamata was given priority to explain the state's poor financial condition left behind by the Left Front government in the National Development Council meeting in New Delhi, funds have not started coming when she wants it badly.

The Trinamool chief thus wants to put pressure on the UPA government to extract the goodies that she has to deliver to the people in the villages before the panchayat polls, likely to be held by the end of 2012.

The fiery Trinamool chief has already held a meeting with the state officials starting from the district magistrates to the block development officers on Thursday to rejig the delivery mechanism.
The TMC leaders want changes in operational structure of the UPA; they will also put forward their demand for monthly or quarterly meetings.

Sources say there is a possibility that Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee could pull out ministers from the Cabinet if the impasse over the petrol price hike is not broken. Sources also added that resignation letters of Trinamool ministers are with their chief.

Ms Banerjee has threatened to quit the UPA on the contentious issue. She is warning of withdrawing support from the Centre not just over the fuel price hike but also in the manner in which it was introduced.

With her 18 Lok Sabha MPs, Ms Banerjee is the Congress' largest ally and an indispensable part of the UPA. Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi is the only Cabinet minister from the party. Other Trinamool leaders in the government are Mukul Roy, Minister of State, Shipping; Sudeep Bandopadhyay, Minister of State, Health; Saugata Roy, Minister of State, Urban Development; CM Jatua, Minister of State, Information and Broadcasting; Sisir Adhikari, Minister of State, Rural Development and Sultan Ahmed, Minister of State, Tourism.

Ms Banerjee met with her MPs on Friday afternoon - the day petrol price hike was announced - and then held a press conference where she said that her party had not been consulted about the hike, and that her MPs are willing to quit the UPA if they are excluded from decisions like this one which affect the common man. "There is no way our MPs can defend this to our people," she said.

But the Prime Minister defended the decision to hike the petrol prices. "The move to decontrol petrol prices is part of the process of the direction in which we should move," Dr Manmohan Singh said at the G20 Summit in Cannes on Friday. The government had deregulated or freed petrol from all price controls last year.

Cornered by Trinamool and the Opposition over the petrol price hike issue, the government today found support in another ally, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Party chief Sharad Pawar endorsed the stand of the Prime Minister on the contentious issue.

"Anyone who understands world politics will agree with the Prime Minister's statement on the petrol hike. Economists who understand the world economy will agree with him; I'm not one of them though," said Mr Pawar.

The NCP chief also reacted to Ms Banerjee's threat to quit the Central government saying his party is with the UPA.

State-owned oil companies had, on Friday, increased the price of petrol by Rs. 1.82 per litre, the
second raise in less than two months. The hike in petrol prices led to allegations of a "midnight massacre" by the Opposition. From Mayawati in UP to J Jayalalithaa in Tamil Nadu lashed out at the Centre for the new price hike.
Mamata Banerjee is not going to take the hike in fuel prices lying down.

She has called an emergency meeting of the Trinamool Congress parliamentary party in Kolkata on Friday to decide its future course - whether to continue in the Congress-led UPA Cabinet.

According to sources, the Trinamool supremo has already hardened her stance.

"Mamata Banerjee is extremely displeased over the hike in petroleum prices. This is not the first time that the Union government took such a decision keeping the UPA partners in the dark," said Trinamool Congress chief whip in Parliament and Union MoS for health Sudip Bandyopadhyay.
So far, petrol prices have been increased four times this year. They were last increased in September by Rs. 3.14. So now, in Delhi, petrol costs R
s. 68.64 as compared to R
s. 58.37 in January.
Bangalore is hit the worst; it now pays Rs. 75.64 per litre.

A number of states will see elections in the next few months and the Congress' "aam aadmi" plank will be difficult to balance with petrol now costing Rs. 17 more than it was at the beginning
of this year.

What is hair loss in women?

What is hair loss in women ? Hair loss in women one of the commonest forms of hair loss in women (and men) is a condition called telogen effluvium, in which there is a diffuse (or widely spread out) shedding of hairs around the scalp and elsewhere on the body.

This is usually a reaction to intense stress on the body's physical or hormonal systems, or as a reaction to medication.

The condition, which can occur at any age, generally begins fairly suddenly and gets better on its own within about six months, although for a few people it can become a chronic problem.

Because telogen effluvium develops a while after its trigger, and causes generalised thinning of hair density rather than a bald patch, women with the condition can easily be diagnosed as overanxious or neurotic.

Fortunately, it often gets better with time. Telogen effluvium is a phenomenon related to the growth cycles of hair.

Hair growth cycles alternate between a growth phase (called anagen, it lasts about three years) and a resting phase (telogen, which lasts about three months). During telogen, the hair remains in the follicle until it is pushed out by the growth of a new hair in the anagen phase.

At any one time, up to about 15 per cent of hairs are in telogen. But a sudden stress on the body can trigger large numbers of hairs to enter the telogen phase at the same time. Then, about three months later, this large number of hairs will be shed. As the new hairs start to grow out, so the density of hair may thicken again.

Many adults have had an episode of telogen effluvium at some point in their lives, reflecting episodes of illness or stress.

Another common type of hair loss in women is androgenetic alopecia, which is related to hormone levels in the body. There's a large genetic predisposition, which may be inherited from the father or mother.

Androgenetic alopecia affects roughly 50 per cent of men (this is the main cause of the usual pattern of balding seen as men age) and perhaps as many women over the age of 40.

Research shows that up to 13 per cent of women have some degree of this sort of hair loss before the menopause, and afterwards it becomes far more common - one piece of research suggests that over the age of 65 as many as 75 per cent of women are affected.

The cause of hair loss in androgentic alopecia is a chemical called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, which is made from androgens (male hormones that all men and women produce) by the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase.

People with a lot of this enzyme make more DHT, which in excess can cause the hair follicles to make thinner and thinner hair, until eventually they pack up completely.

Women's pattern of hair loss is different to the typical receding hairline and crown loss in men. Instead, androgenetic alopecia causes a general thinning of women's hair, with loss predominantly over the top and sides of the head.

Another important cause of hair loss in women is a condition called alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that affects more than two per cent of the population. In this, the hair follicles are attacked by white blood cells. The follicles then become very small and hair production slows down dramatically, so there may be no visible hair growth for months and years.

After some time, hair may regrow as before, come back in patchy areas, or not regrow at all. The good news is that in every case the hair follicles remain alive and can be switched on again; the bad news is that we don't yet know how to do this.
They may not like it, but it's generally accepted that men lose their hair as they get older. In fact, hair loss is also common among women as they age, but the stigma can be difficult to handle.

MahendraSingh Dhoni And Abhinav Bindra Call Him Lieutenant Colonel

India's cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Olympian gold medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra on Tuesday officially became honorary Lieutenant Colonels in the Territorial Army with the army chief, Gen. V.K. Singh, pipping their ranks on their shoulders.
India's first individual Olympic gold medallist, Abhinav Bindra is hopeful of clinching another medal at the 2012 London Olympics.
President Pratibha Patil had approved the grant of honorary commissions to the two illustrious sportspersons on Sep 13 in recognition of their achievements in their respective sports.

Dhoni led India to victory in the cricket World Cup earlier this year and was instrumental in taking the team to the top spot in Test rankings for the first time last year. He had also led the team to victory in the inaugural T20 World championship in 2007.

Bindra won the only individual Olympic gold medal for India at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Along with the two sportsmen, the army also honoured Deepak Rao, a medical doctor by qualification but a martial arts specialist by choice, who got about 15,000 of the army troops trained in close quarter combat, with the rank of a Major.

While Dhoni and Deepak Rao were commissioned into the elite Para Regiment in the presence of the Colonel of the Regiment, Lt. Gen. Vinod Bhatia, Bindra was welcomed into the Sikh Regiment by Lt. Gen. Sumer Singh, its Colonel of teh Regiment.

"I have got the maroon beret now, but I have to earn it," Dhoni said soon after, pointing out that becoming a member of the elite Parachute Regiment was not child's play and involved rigorous combat and airborne operations training.

"I will soon find time to go for my training, will meet with the soldiers on the borders and encourage youth to join the army," said Dhoni, who has earlier interacted with army personnel during visits to cantonments. He was asked by his wife Sakshi, how he would contribute to the army.

"Joining the Territorial Army and donning this uniform is a childhood dream come true for me," he added.
"I don't know what can be expected from me but I can only try and work very hard. I can only try and do my best, ensure that I put in my best efforts. Hopefully I can get the medal at the Olympic," said Bindra.
Bindra had clinched the London Olympic berth despite finishing a lowly eighth in the 10m air rifle event of the Shooting World Cup in Munich in June this year.

The ace marksman had won the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics - a first for the country in the history of the Games in individual sport.

Bindra said that all the shooters who have qualified for the London Olympics are capable of winning medals.

"Shooters have done very well in the last few years for the country and won medals. All the shooters are capable of winning medals at the London Olympic," said the Khel Ratna and Arjuna awardee on the sidelines of a function on Tuesday.

A total of eight Indian shooters have qualified for the London event namely Gagan Narang, Hariom Singh, Sanjeev Rajput, Ronjan Sodhi, Annuraj Singh, Rahi Sarnoba, Vijay Kumar and Bindra.

Small Quantity Of Alcohol Increase Breast Cancer

Regularly drinking even a small quantity of alcohol could increase the risk of breast cancer, say researchers.

A study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggested that between three and six small glasses of wine a week was linked to a 15% increase in risk.

The study, which followed 105,986 people for nearly 28 years, said the increase was "small".

Experts said cutting down on alcohol could reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Other studies have linked the effect of drinking alcohol to breast cancer, but the authors of this study argued that the effect of low-level drinking had not been fully explored.

In women who never consumed alcohol, there were 281 breast cancers per 100,000 women per year.

That increased to 333 cancers for people drinking between three and six glasses of wine per week. There was a much greater increase, to 413, for those consuming more than 19 glasses.
'Small'

One of the researchers Dr Wendy Chen said: "We did find an increased risk at low levels of use, but the risk was quite small.

"Although the exact mechanism for the association between alcohol consumption and breast cancer is not known, one probable explanation would involve alcohol's effects on circulating oestrogen levels."

Breakthrough Breast Cancer's Dr Rachel Greig said: "This study adds weight to what we already know; regularly drinking alcohol can increase your risk of developing breast cancer.

"We do know that limiting your alcohol intake can decrease your risk of developing the disease, as can maintaining a healthy weight, and being physically active."

Sarah Williams, health information officer at Cancer Research UK, said: "This study adds to already strong evidence that drinking even small amounts of alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer.

"Cutting down on alcohol can reduce the chance of developing breast cancer - as can keeping a healthy weight and being physically active.

"A healthy lifestyle isn't a guarantee against cancer but it helps stack the odds in our favour."

Google Inc Offer Free Websites To Small Businesses In India

Google Inc said it will offer free websites to small and medium businesses in India in a move to boost Internet usage in Asia's third-largest economy and aims to get half a million of these businesses online in the next three years.

India is the world's second-biggest mobile phone market with about 870 million users, but Internet penetration is low. About 100 million, or less than a tenth of a country of 1.2 billion people, use Internet although that still makes it the world's third-biggest Internet user market.

The country is home to an estimated 8 million small and medium businesses, of which about 400,000 have a website and 100,000 have active online presence, Google said in a presentation on Wednesday.

The online commerce, or e-commerce, market in India is small now but few people doubt one day it will be a big business in the country. Google said in the presentation e-commerce in India has hit an "inflection point."

"We want to build an ecosystem...We are investing in the market," Nikesh Arora, Google's chief business officer, told reporters in Delhi, adding the country was not a big revenue market yet but a good user market.

Rajan Anandan, managing director of Google's Indian unit, said the Internet search giant was making "significant" investments in the free web hosting initiative but had no "near-term revenue expectations" from it.

Google and its partner web hosting firm HostGator will facilitate free web domain names and will maintain the websites for a year without charging any fee. At the end of the first year, users will have to pay a "nominal charge" if they wish to renew their domain name, Google said in a statement.

Toyota's Sales Dropped 8% Due To Shortage Of Corolla Cars

Japanese carmakers Toyota and Honda continue to struggle in the US as they report weaker-than-expected sales for October.

Toyota's sales dropped 8% due to a shortage in supply of its Corolla cars, while Honda's numbers fell 0.5% from a year earlier.

Sales of the two firms have dipped in the US after the quake and tsunami hurt their production earlier this year.

However, Nissan reported an 18% jump in sales during the period.

"I know I predicted at the start of this month that October sales would exceed year-ago levels. That was an aggressive goal," said Bob Carter, head of Toyota brand sales for the US.
Growth concerns

Overall car sales in the US increased by 7.5% during the month, with Volkswagen and Chrysler reporting the biggest gains with 40% and 27% respectively.

But despite those numbers there are concerns about the long term prospects of the sector, not least due to fears of a slowdown in the US economy and the debt crisis in Europe.

"We don't have a strong recovery to begin with and the last thing it needs is a couple of body blows," said Paul Ballew of Insurer Nationwide.

"Every time this industry starts to feel better about itself, you kind of look at the world around and gulp," he added.

However, Al Castignetti, Nissan's US sales chief, said that despite concerns of a global economic slowdown, car sales in the US may hit their highest level in the last three months of the year.

"We've been dealing with this all year," he said. "People have been conditioned to deal with the headlines."
