Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, after meeting the farm ministers from South Asian countries, told reporters that "We have set aside two million tonnes of wheat that will be given to countries which have been asking for it through diplomatic channels".
Although India had banned wheat exports in 2007, analysts say that robust output and higher stocks at government warehouses have enabled India, the world's second-biggest producer, to set aside some wheat for overseas supplies.
Washington, Nov 6 : In a new study, scientists have found that a therapy targeting a protein, called cyclin D1, may block the expansion of breast cancer stem cells.
The study shows how stem cell expansion in breast cancer (called Notch activity) takes place.
Breast cancer stem cells are known to be involved in therapy resistance and the recurrence of cancerous tumours.
Headed by Dr. Richard Pestell and colleagues at Thomas Jefferson University, the study was the first to show that cyclin d1 is required for breast cancer growth in mice.
Colombo - Government troops captured a strategic village held by Tamil separatist rebels as government forces continued their offensive to retake all of northern Sri Lanka, a military spokesman said Thursday.

Washington, Nov 6 : Computer hard drives— that have been disposed of or sold into the second-hand market by corporations, organizations, and individuals—still carry sensitive data that may pose a big security threat.
That’s what an ongoing research has suggested which claims that a huge amount of private data is usually left on redundant computer hard disks.
According to the authors, such data represents a significant level of risk for commercial sabotage, identity theft, and even political compromise, and suggest that better education is essential to reduce the risk of harm.
Washington, November 6: Tel Aviv University researchers have written a piece of software that they believe may help reduce hospital-related infections by 50 per cent.
Professor Yehuda Carmeli of the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, who has developed the high-tech software program, says that his security system works by integrating basic sanitary procedures.
He says that the novel system uses the tools of high-tech communication like email alerts, SMS’s, and online communication to alert hospital staff of potential threats.
His team had adopted this system in their own institutions two years ago.
“We stopped forty-five percent of the primary hospital-borne organisms that attack patients from spreading,” says Carmeli.
