Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar launch a mega health scheme Under the 'Nayee Peedhi Swasthya Guarantee Karyakram' (New Generation Health Guarantee Programme) targeted at the 3.4 crore children up to 14 years of age and adolescent girls will be provided a health card for their medical check-up and treatment free of cost at government hospitals.

After roads and law and order, Bihar is turning its attention to the health of its children. As part of its Bihar Divas celebrations, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will Tuesday launch a mega health scheme targeted at the 3.4 crore children in the state, officials said.
Under the 'Nayee Peedhi Swasthya Guarantee Karyakram' (New Generation Health Guarantee Programme), children up to 14 years of age and adolescent girls will be provided a health card for their medical check-up and treatment free of cost at government hospitals.
'Soon after inaugurating Bihar Divas at Gandhi Maidan, Nitish Kumar will begin distributing health cards to children,' an official of the Chief Minister's Office told IANS.
'This mega health scheme will check malnutrition, anaemia and childhood reproductive problems,' Principal Health Secretary Amarjit Sinha said.
The government planned to distribute health cards by Oct 2 this year, he added.
However, he admitted that reaching out to all the children was a challenging task.
'Special camps would be organised in government schools and sub-primary health centres to distribute these cards,' he said.

The levels of five amino acids in the blood could predict diabetes risk 10 yrs before first symptoms appear.

LONDON: Researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have suggested that measuring the levels of small molecules in the blood could predict diabetes risk as much as a decade before first symptoms appear.
They said the levels of five amino acids not only indicated increased diabetes risk in a general population but also could differentiate, among individuals with traditional risk factors such as obesity, those most likely to actually develop diabetes.

"These findings raise the possibility that, in selected individuals, these measurements could identify those at highest risk of developing diabetes so that early preventive measures could be instituted," said lead author Thomas Wang.
The researchers found that elevations in five amino acids — isoleucine, leucine, valine, tyrosine and phenylalanine — were significantly associated with the later development of type 2 diabetes.

Health Benefits of Banana in Anemia, Blood Pressure, Student Brain Power, Constipation, Depression, Hangovers, Heart-burn, Morning Sickness, Bone Builder, Ulcers, Fevers, SAD- mood enhancer, Smoking and bananas are not fattening

Research studies have proven that eating two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. Not the only great thing about bananas though! They do not lose nutritional content after being picked as do other fruits and vegetables with thinner skin!

My grandmother's saying, "If it tastes good it can't be good for you," doesn't hold water with the banana case… Studies have also found that bananas can overcome and/or prevent a number of illnesses and conditions, making it a great idea to include them in your daily diet.


1) Anemia: Bananas are high in iron and can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood therefore helping in iron deficiency anemia. No constipation when eating bananas as with iron supplements!
2) Blood Pressure: The doctors' I worked with would tell the patient to eat a banana every day! Why? Because they are high in potassium yet low in salt. That advice was usually to people taking blood pressure medications, since those medications help to deplete the system of that most important mineral potassium. People with low Potassium in the body creates the climate for heart attack and/or other diseases... Doctors in India discovered just two bananas a day can reduce blood pressure by 10% in just one week. This backs up a previous American study showing that eating five bananas a day was 50% as effective as taking prescription medication to reduce hypertension. The US Food and Drug Administration now allows the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.

3) Student Brain Power: A study done with the help of 200 students at a Twickenham England, (Middlesex) school showed; by eating bananas at breakfast, break and lunch boosted their brain power making for better exam results. Research has shown that, again the mineral potassium-packed fruit can further learning by making students more alert.

4) Constipation: Bananas are high in fiber thereby including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, assisting in overcoming constipation without resorting to harsh laxatives.

5) Depression: Bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin known to help you relax, thereby improving mood and helping to create a happier feeling. This was been proven when done with depressed patients.

6) Hangovers: Alcohol depletes the body of several minerals and also dehydrates the body and one of the quickest hangover cures could be eating a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana shake calms the stomach replaces the potassium lost and the milk helps to rehydrate the body while calming the nerves with tryptophan...

7) Heart-burn: Bananas have a natural antacid calming effect in the body. You might try eating a banana next time you suffer from heart-burn, and calm the gas!

8) Morning Sickness: Prevent that morning sickness by snacking on bananas between meals helping to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Even if you forget to eat them before and you wake up with morning sickness, eat a banana to calm the stomach!

9) Bone builder: Bananas are high in phosphorus, needed for bone development, calcium, and potassium. They are particularly rich in vitamin C and contain significant amounts of several other vitamins such as vitamin A. Bananas do not contain fat and have zero cholesterol.

10) PMS: Eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels and tryptophan the calming soothing chemical, which can affect your mood.

11) Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronic ulcer cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

12) Fevers: Many cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

13) Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan.

14) Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking, as the high levels of Vitamin C, A1, B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Contrary to popular belief, bananas are not fattening.

Eating tip! The more yellow the fruit the easier to digest and the more nutrients!

Consume at least one cup of coffee everyday to cut 25% probability of a heart attack esp in women

It has been scientifically found that women who consume at least one cup of coffee everyday have a good heart. Coffee cuts 25% probability of a heart attack. This research work has been done by the Swedish scientists.
The researchers have notified that those women who do not consume coffee are at an increased risk of having a heart attack.
However, the researchers have also concluded that the reports were preliminary and one should not make any changes related to coffee drinking habits.
For the analysis purpose, the team of scientists headed by Larsson collected sample data for over 34,670 women aged 49 to 83.
"Results from our study in women showed that consumption of 1 to 5 cups of coffee per day was associated with a 22 to 25 percent lower risk of stroke, compared with consumption of less than 1 cup a day”, quoted by the lead researcher Susanna Larsson, from the National Institute of Environmental Medicine at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.
She also claimed that even consuming small amount of coffee helps in decreasing the risk of having a heart attack.
The findings of the study were published in the March 10 edition of the magazine Stroke.

The ECG Tread Mill Test commonly used to identify people who are prone to heart attacks is not a fool-proof procedure to know the condition of heart especially among high-risk professionals like pilots.

The established criteria for positive Tread Mill Test (TMT) needs revision in order to avoid treating healthy persons as heart patients, its author Colonel M J Jacob, head of the department of Nuclear Medicine, Army Hospital Research and Refferal said.The study has been published in the Journal of Associations of Physicians in India.With increased prevalence of coronary artery disease, people especiall the young are anxious to find out about their risk of suffering from a heart attack in near future and hence, undergo TMT to clear the doubt.ECG TMT is one of the main tests routinely used to detect the adequacy of the blood supply to cardiac muscles during rest as well as at times of higher stress.All those who test positive for ECG TMT are put through further tests and procedures."A total of 152 people including airline pilots, millitary personnels making it to higher altitudes, submariners and executives who reported positive for ECG TMT were analysed in order to ensure their cardiac fitness in stress conditions."It was found that the test grossly over-estimated the presence of cardiac problems and put healthy persons through unnecessary tests and procedures," Colonel Jacob said.Chest discomfort could have been due to other minor problems unrelated to heart like acidity, chest wall muscle main etc, he said.He said, "ECG TMT is one of the very common investigations being used in the periodic medical examination of high risk professionals."It's time we revise the test criterias. It's time we revise the test criterias in order stop person from being unduly being subjected to coronary angiography," he said. PTI SWT

New Zealand cricket captain Daniel Vettori (Achievements, career records and Information) is considering retirement from one-day international cricket after the World Cup 2011


Daniel Vettori would however, keep playing test series, and possibly Twenty20 internationals to remain marketable for future matches of the Indian Premier League, the New Zealand Herald reports.

Vettori, who has recently suffered knee injury, has been bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Its billionaire owner Vijay Mallya sees him as a player with the sort of impact to replace Anil Kumble as a spinning all-rounder this season.

Although no decision has been made on any retirement as of now, it is believed that he has started to consider the prospect.


Vettori has 4167 test runs and 345 wickets in his record.

Eat to lose weight , the best way to loose weight without any food dieting

Getting rid of unwanted extra pounds is never easy but many of us make is harder than it really is. Skipping meals and drastically cutting calories will yield temporary results but you can achieve long term weight loss if you choose a slower approach. Basically, you need to eat to lose weight.

I know you're probably thinking that eating is what added the extra pounds in the first place. However, the kinds of foods along with a lack of exercise are more of a source of trouble than the actual act of eating. When you eat to lose weight you will find that you can take in more food and feel satisfied throughout the day.

So how do you eat to lose weight? The first thing you want to do is slow down. You are more likely to overeat if you scarf your meals down too quickly. You have to give your stomach enough time to tell your brain that it is full. I know it sounds silly but it does take time to process this information.

Choose whole foods. When you eat to lose weight, you are best off picking foods that are not processed. The more stuff that is done to the food, the more fattening it is likely to be. Natural foods are best and they

Ireland broke the record of highest chase by defeating England by three wickets at Chinnaswamy Stadium

Ireland produced the biggest upset in this World Cup so far by defeating England by three wickets at Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.

Chasing 328, Ireland broke the record of highest chase, with five balls to spare, in World Cup previously held by Sri Lanka for their chasing 313 runs against Zimbabwe in 1992.

Meanwhile, Kevin O'Brien (113) scored the fastest World Cup hundred in only 50 deliveries, before being run out, pushing Matthew Haydens 66 ball knock against South Africa during in 2007 in the second place.

John Mooney (33) and Trent Johnston (7) remained not out to guide the Irish to the historical victory.

Alex Cusack (47) would consider himself unfortunate to be run out being three runs short from scoring a fifty in his World Cup debut.

Graeme Swann picked up Niall O'Brien (29), Ed Joyce (32) and Gary Wilson (3) in his three successive overs to derail the Irish innings.

O'Brien was bowled out, Joyce stumped and Wilson was trapped leg before.

Paul Stirling (15) was caught at deep square by Kevin Pietersen off Tim Bresnan.

Skipper William Porterfield (0) was bowled off James Anderson in the very first ball of Irish innings.

Previously England posted a massive total of 327 runs in the scoreboard.

Graeme Swann (9) remained not out for the English

John Mooney picked up four wickets for Ireland. His victims were Jonathan Trott (92), Ian Bell (81), Paul Collingwood (16) and Tim Bresnan (4).

Trott was bowled off Mooney after he surpassed the 1000-ODI runs mark. Trott now holds the record for quickest 1000 ODI-runs (in 21 inninngs) along with his team mate Pietersen and West Indian great Viv Richards.

Bell was caught at mid wicket by Paul Sterling. Collingwood was pouched at mid-on by Kevin O' Brien and Bresnan was caught by Trent Johnston.

Matt Prior (6) and Michael Yardy (3) were bowled of Johnston.

Pietersen (59) was caught by Niall O'Brien shortly after his fourth World Cup fifty off Paul Stirling.

On his 34th birthday skipper Andrew Strauss (34) was gifted broken stumps from Irish youngster George Dockrell
Paul Collingwood (16) was caught at mid-on by Kevin O'Brien off Mooney.

Earlier, England won the toss and elected to bat.

A salaried person would not have to file tax returns??? , change in the 80CCF tax benefits???,

Is it true? No more filing of tax returns for the salaried
In his Budget announcement the Finance Minister said “The electronic filing of Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) statement has stabilized. The Board shall soon notify a category of salaried taxpayers who will not be required to file a return of income as their tax liability has been discharged by their employer through deduction at source.”  Does that mean we don’t have to go through the ordeal of filing returns anymore? Wondering whether the tax slab for woman also increased? Here are some of your queries on the Income Tax announcements answered.
Q: Is it true that a salaried person would not have to file tax returns any longer?
There is a proposal to exempt certain class or classes of persons from furnishing the return of Income. Salaried employees with only income from salary could fall under this category. The relevant notification in this regard will be issued soon. This is a good development if institutions such as housing finance companies, banks etc. treat the Form 16 as a good proxy for the ITR. Otherwise I suggest you file the ITR even if you fall under the exempt category. 
Q: The tax exemptions for an individual has increased from Rs 1,60,000 to Rs 1,80,000 does that mean woman’s exemption limit has been hiked to 2,10,000 from its earlier 1,90,000.
Unfortunately, there is no change in the basic exemption limit for women below the age of 60. It remains at Rs. 1,90,000. Women above the age of 60 can avail a basic exemption limit of Rs. 2,50,000. 
Q: The FM announced that the Direct Tax Code would be effective from April 2012. How would this be different from the Income Tax Act?
For individuals there is a change in the computation of short term capital gains on equity shares, taxation of debt mutual funds, list of eligible instruments available for tax benefit under section 66 (currently Section 80C)etc. Also, the eligible amounts for basic exemption and tax related investments may undergo a change.
Q: What has been the change in the 80CCF tax benefits.
The tax benefit of Rs 20,000 under section 80CCF has been extended for one more year.

Brief synopsis of the Finance Minister's Budget for 2010-11 : Main points and highlights

The main impetus of the budget is to improve the growth rate and get it to 9 percent in the near term and to a double digit rate in the medium to longer term. The other two areas of focus are Infrastructure development especially in Rural India and Improving Governance by shoring up Systems and bringing stricter control on institutions.
10 Indians share their budget expectations 
 
Key points of the budget:
The government is very keen on ensuring that inflation is curbed and food security is ensured for all citizens.
Food items: Since inefficient distribution has been found to be the culprit for the sky rocketing of food prices, the FM has proposed to focus on reducing Production and Distributions bottlenecks. Food, vegetables, Meat etc will show an easing of prices in the medium term future.
Education: A higher allotment of funds in the form of over 24% hike as compared to last year for the Education Sector.

Full Coverage: Budget 2011

Income tax: More modernization of the taxation system is being mooted. A new form called "SUGAM" will make it easier for small tax payers to file their returns.
A miniscule hike of Rs 20000 in the exemption limit for tax payers has been introduced. The older citizens can feel happy as the FM has decrease the income tax "senior citizen" definition from age 65 to age 60 thus giving a big benefit to those born between 1946-1951. And for those who survive all the hardships of life and lvie to be over 80 they get a higher limit!!
IT sops in budget; air travel, health check-up to be costlier
Deduction of Rs 20000 for infrastructure bonds has been retained.
The direct taxes code which has been proposed to be implement from Aril 1, 2012. This has been in the offing for quite some time and is expected to make taxation simpler. The wait continues.
Sharad Pawar hails Budget as farmer-friendly
Direct transfer of Cash subsidy to be given to people below poverty line so that delivery of Kerosene, LPG and fertilizers happen in a more efficient and accountable manner
Selling off PSU's: Continuing the focus on divesting government stakes in Public Sector Undertakings the FM has proposed to look at raising Rs 40000 Crores from divestment in 11-12
Foreign Investment: The business environment is set to improve for Foreign companies as the government is looking at further liberalizing the FDI policy. More Foreign Direct Investment can only be good for the economy. Way to go…
Investment in infrastructure will go up since FII investment in corporate bonds has been raised. Better roads, Bridges are on their way.
Housing Loan: Loan limit has been enhanced to Rs 25 Lakh for housing under priority sector lending. Interest subsidy (subvention) of 1% on housing loan has been liberalized. People in the lower financial spectrum to get benefit from Mortgage Risk Guarantee Fund.
Agriculture: Higher allotment uinder Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana of Rs 7860 Crores could see more support for the agriculture sector. Special focus on Vegetables in the form of Rs 300 crore for Vegetable initiative. Agriculture credit too raised to Rs 475, 000/- crores. Happier farmers could mean lower prices for the common man. Focus on Cold Chains and Storage could also lead to efficiency and in return reduction in prices and better quality vegetables reaching our kitchens.
Infrastructure is King: Rs 214000 Crores has been allotted for infrastructure for 2011-12. An increase of over 23% over the last year. We can see better highways and transport systems in the near future which could lead to reduction in inflation in the longer term.
Bring the money back: As expected the FM has taken note of the hue and cry over Black Money. Many new initiatives have been mooted to bring back black money in circulation.
Air travel and Medical aid to cost more: Service tax on air travel has been hiked. Hospitals with over 25 beds will have to pay tax on all services. So those posh hospitals could be giving you higher bills in the coming year.

The MCD has given an opportunity to tax defaulters : property tax payment last date extended to March 31 2011

Seeking to increase its revenue and give an opportunity to tax defaulters, the MCD today extended till March 31 the last date for its two ongoing schemes for settlement of property tax cases.
    
Chairman of Standing Committee Yogender Chandolia said on public demand, MCD has extended the last date of the scheme for settlement of ex-parte assessments under old system of assessment (rateable value) as well as the unit area method.
     
The schemes were to be closed yesterday.
     
"The extension of time period will help the defaulting taxpayers who could not avail of the opportunity so far. The settlement scheme provides waiver of interest and penalty amount, subject to up-to-date payment of property tax. The taxpayers would be required to pay only the actual amount of tax accruable each year," an official said.
The old RV system continued till March 31, 2004 after which the unit area method was introduced from April 1, 2004.

There are about one lakh cases pending under the old system.
    
In the RV system, the capital value of the property was used to be taken into account while in the unit area method, value is assigned to colonies rather than individual properties.
    
The cash-strapped civic body is keen to collect more property tax, which is its main source of revenue.

The collection has been below the initial target this financial year, prompting the civic body to revise the target

Premium healthcare to be costlier with new service tax, the total sum of the hospital bill including the cost of medicines and consumables will increase by 10%

Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee proposed amendments in service tax and extended it more areas. Earlier, 117 segments were under service tax, now the unchanged rate of 10% tax on services will be levied on 320 more which is amajor concern for the hospitals coming up in the country.
The amendment has been termed 'ambiguous, impractical and illogical' by experts in the healthcare industry as it will make healthcare all the more costlier than it is today.
As per amendments in the budget, service tax has been widened to cover some categories of hospitals and diagnostic tests. AC hospitals with more than 25 beds have been brought under the ambit of service tax. Healthcare industry experts have termed this as an 'improper' step.
Dr Milan Chag, a leading cardiologist and managing director of The Heart Care Clinic and Care Institute of Medical Sciences, said,
"The imposition of new service tax for treatment in any air-conditioned hospital with a bed capacity of more than 25 means adding 10% to patients' total hospital bill. This is illogical and improper. Ultimately, the end consumers, i.e. patients, suffer as this will automatically raise their bill by 10%," said Chag.
In most cases, of the total bill, 50-70% cost is of medicines and consumables and these cannot be defined as 'services'. However, with this additional new tax, the total sum of the hospital bill including the cost of medicines and consumables will increase by 10% which is an unfair hike, explained Dr Praful Pawar, CEO, Apollo Hospitals.
Industry sources say that the finance minister needs to think hard on this proposed amendment. The government must modify it and exclude medicines and consumables from the total bill, say healthcare industry experts.
Pankaj Patel, chairman and managing director, Zydus Cadila, said, "Overall, the budget is a stability-oriented one with thrust on infrastructure and allocations for healthcare sector.However, the new service tax would hamper the growth of the healthcare industry."
Echoing a similar view, Dr Vikram Shah, director, Shalby Hospital said, "This proposed new tax would burden the patients. And to avoid the increase in the costs, the healthcare service providers would not prefer to fall under the organised sector. This amendment if not modified would kill the growing segment of healthcare industry."

Weather insurance start-up which helps insure farmers against losses from increasingly volatile weather has received $42 million by way of investment from Silicon Valley venture capitalist Vinod Khosla and Google Ventures

A start-up which helps insure farmers against losses from increasingly volatile weather has received $42 million by way of investment from Silicon Valley venture capitalist Vinod Khosla and Google Ventures.
WeatherBill, founded by ex-Google employees David Friedberg and Siraj Khaliq, collates weather data from various sources and sells insurance based on statistical analysis. The company's workforce includes a team of software engineers and climatologists. 
According to WeatherBill, the $3 trillion annual global agriculture production is increasingly hostage to the vagaries unpredictable weather fluctuations.
Last year's tumultuous weather conditions caused devastating floods in Pakistan, China and Australia and a heatwave in Russia. According to the UN it was the warmest period on record alongside 1998 and 2005.
According to a UN panel of climate change experts, weather is set to become more unpredictable and extreme in the 21st century, impacting everything from food to water supplies, due to a build-up of heat-trapping gases from human use of fossil fuels.
"More than 90 per cent of crop losses are due to unexpected weather and climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme weather events," CEO Friedberg said in a statement.

Insurers must stop setting prices based on gender, an EU court ruled, in a move that could raise costs for women drivers, cut male pensions, and prompt more legal challenges to insurance pricing practices.

Taking the gender of the insured individual into account as a risk factor in insurance contracts constitutes discrimination," the European Court of Justice said on Tuesday.
The ECJ told insurers to adopt a "unisex" approach to setting premiums from December 21, 2012, confirming a recommendation from its senior adviser in September.
Insurers said the decision could push up motor insurance costs for women, who currently pay less than men because they are statistically less likely to be involved in accidents, by up to 25 percent.
The ruling could also reduce retirement annuity payments to men, who currently get more than women to take account of their lower average life expectancy. Annuities are insurance policies which offer a regular income for life in return for a lump sum, usually paid on retirement.
INDUSTRY ANGER
The ECJ's decision drew condemnation from the industry, which said differential pricing for men and women was legitimate given their different risk profiles.
"Europe-wide the effect on the price and benefits and on the choice of insurance products for consumers could be significant," said the CEA, Europe's insurance industry lobby, which added it was "deeply disappointed" by the ruling.
Analysts said the decision would have little long-term impact on insurers' earnings as they had enough flexibility over pricing to ensure any changes would cancel each other out.
"From the consumer perspective it is going to make a difference, but my sense is that the insurers will change their rating to maintain their current level of profitability," said Espirito Santo analyst Joy Ferneyhough.
The Stoxx 600 Europe insurance sector share index .SXIP was flat at 1420 GMT, lagging the wider market .FTEU3, which was up 0.2 percent.
AGE NEXT ?
The gender ruling could pave the way for a potentially more damaging legal challenge to insurers' reliance on their customers' age in setting prices and payouts.
"Of greater concern to the industry is the likelihood there will be further European challenges, particularly around age," said Mark Winlow, head of general insurance at accountants KPMG.
"This is a more significant factor than gender, as age is used much more widely to differentiate risks."\

Younger male drivers can pay as much as 2000 percent more for car insurance than they would if they were aged 50, Winlow said.
Sheila's Wheels, a British motor insurer that markets itself to women drivers, said its business would be largely unaffected as a low volume of claims from its mostly female customer base allowed it to maintain a low gender price gap.
"We are protected by the sheer number of women on our books, which will not change overnight," a spokesman said.
"The decision will not change our advertising or marketing or dilute our appeal to women."
Analysts said insurers were likely to look for ways of measuring customer risk more accurately, including pay-as-you-drive schemes which set car insurance prices by monitoring customers' driving habits through a "black box" fitted inside their vehicles.
