...Delhi-based Energy Research Institute (TERI), are working on methane-capture strategies. One long-running project has been biogas production - cow dung utilized to make biogas for use in kitchens, and even compressed biogas for use in vehicles. "Biogas plants have been very successful," says R.K. Rajeshwari, a fellow at TERI. "Farmers are able to use biogas in their kitchens, to light lamps and to even drive vehicles." Such projects, she says, have been particularly successful at gaushalas, cow shelters supported by donations from the devout and by government grants, of which there are 4,000 across India.

Several years ago, Jain had proposed that anti-angiogenic drugs might be repairing the tumor blood vessels, which he called “normalization”. “This would reduce edema—swelling—in brain tumors,” Jain...
...Obama's first few months in office have seen a sustained assault by a loose coalition of Catholic organizations and leaders who are committed to convincing their fellow church members that Obama doesn't share their values. They have strongly criticized his selection of Kansas Democratic Governor (and pro-choice Catholic) Kathleen Sebelius to be HHS Secretary and have circulated unfounded rumors that the Vatican rejected several candidates to be Obama's ambassador there.
