In yet another audacious move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has signed a two-year exclusive deal with Internet giant Google for live streaming of the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches across the world. The matches will be telecast on its popular user-generated content platform, YouTube. This is the first time a sporting event will be telecast live on the Internet. Besides the live videos, YouTube users will have the option to see the matches the way they want through features such as the ability to choose one's own camera positions, freezing or fast forwarding the stream, access to an archive function that allows the replay of past shots and also, a feature called Fan Feed that will give them access to entertainment around the event. "The basic structure of the relationship is that we will place IPL live matches in this season and the next on YouTube," said Shailesh Rao, managing director, Google India. "We will also make available on-deman...

The government today decided to introduce full-body scanners at airports across the country in a phased manner to secure them against potential terrorist attacks. The US and Israel are already using full-body scanners at some of their airports, and more such scanners are on their way to airports in the US, England, Japan and the EU. The proposal, cleared by a technical specification committee under the Ministry of Civil Aviation and comprising representatives from all security agencies, comes in the backdrop of a recent attempt by a Nigerian man to blow up a Detroit-bound aircraft using explosives attached to his body. Security checks at Lagos or Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, where the would-be bomber boarded planes, failed to detect the explosives. The scanners have been at the centre of privacy and health concerns for several years across the world. The panel has debated all these issues at length, a government official told The Indian Express. "The full-body scanner...

Most of us spend at least a few inevitable hours daily looking at the computer screen, watching television or simply studying. And while we toil  for hours, it is our eyes that bear the brunt. It is essential, then, that we take adequate precautions to keep our eyes healthy. According to ophthalmologist Dr Keiki Mehta, eye exercises help the eyes in two important ways — mechanically and optically. “Mechanically they improve the mechanical stability of the eye by coordinating and strengthening the eye muscles. They strengthen the convergence power of the eye and balance its function with that of accommodation. Optically they improve the optical image coordination between the two eyes, thus permitting a proper three-dimensional accurate picture to be received and subsequently evaluated by the brain. Eye exercises would be futile if you think they would lower your spectacle number, cure cataract, glaucoma or any organic disability in the eye or even in curing large degrees ...

The implications of life sciences are overarching. From medicine to agriculture to industry, it can be applied to every walk of life. India's largely unsolved medical needs and the urgent need to produce high yielding crop varieties have given a huge impetus for research in this field. The Indian biotech sector's overall turnover in 2008-09 was USD 2.51 billion as compared to USD 2.13 billion in 2007-08. By 2010 the industry is expected to reach the USD 5 billion mark. According to a report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India ranks among the top 12 biotech destinations in the world and has the third largest number of biotech companies in Asia Pacific. "Due to its inherent intellectual capital, India has become the preferred destination for research and development activities of multinational companies. On the home front the momentum has been maintained by the help from various departments," says K. V. Subramaniam, president and CEO, Reliance Life...

The strongest earthquake to hit Haiti in more than 200 years crushed thousands of structures, from humble shacks to the National Palace and the headquarters of U.N. peace keepers. Destroyed communications made it impossible to tell the extent of destruction from Tuesday afternoon's 7.0-magnitude tremor or to estimate the number of dead lying among the collapsed buildings in Haiti's capital of about 2 million people.

Clouds of dust thrown up by falling buildings choked Port-au-Prince for hours. And while a massive quake like t...

New Delhi, Jan 10 (IANS) On Jan 15, people living in the southern tip of the country at Dhanushkodi in Tamil Nadu will get to watch the 'Ring of Fire' when the moon will cover the sun's disc during the millennium's longest annular solar eclipse. However, sky gazers in Delhi will also have something to cheer about as they will get to see more than half of the eclipse. Annular solar eclipse occurs when the sun and the moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the moon's shadow is smaller than that of the visible disc of the sun. The covered sun, therefore, appears as a 'Ring of Fire', with its rays appearing spread out from the outline of the moon. Last time India saw this 'Ring of Fire' was Nov 22, 1965, and it will not be witnessed again before June 21, 2020. The maximum duration of the eclipse would be 11 minutes 08 seconds over the Indian Ocean, thus making it the longest annular eclipse of the millennium. 'People in southern...
