All these genes are part of the insulin pathway. So if scientists are able to substitue guanine instead of thymine in this gene on both chromosomes i guess future replication will ensure guanine in all the cells... and a long life.. no wonder equitysurgeon said the key to longevity has already been discovered. Lets see.... the newer geneation of kids may not get vaccines, they will have genetic engineers tinkering with their cells.

Oh Yes, I remember Deve Gowda our exprime minister. He did create a record. The whole world was laughing at him.
He went to Russia in a lungi and while he was taking the red carpet salute, his govt. in India collapsed.
Once through with the red carpet, someone whispered in his ears that he in no more the Prime minister.
He cut his speach and returned to India and was lost for sometime.
He is hoping to get some ministerial post once Mayawati becomes the prime minister.
There are no shortage of clowns and idiots in this country.

You dont have to go to an astrologer anymore. The scienetits have made it easier. The gene to longevity has been discovered.

The gene foxo3a has been identified as the key to longevity and if in this gene guanine is present instead of thymine in one chromosome the individual lives longer and has twice the chance of living upto 98 to 106 years of age and if he had guanine on both chromosomes he has thrice the chance of living up to that age. So shortly we will just have to get a gene test done and decide if we have to be responsible at an younger age or older age.. If we are going to live until 106 years why become responsible at 60? Have a blast until 80, there is always a time to sound serious and morose.. except of course an accident nothing can shorten the life span and chronic diseases will not affect these guys.

The accusation is the 4 officials accused are let of,and the pleader says he has concrete evidence,he is going to fight it out
If his allegation are true
Then why youngsters like Manjunath should
Die?For what cause?
And what is the message the Company sending down?...

Mr Reddy was one of the worst RBI governor India had ever had. He changed many forward looking policies of the previous governors so that the banking sector reforms is back by atleast a decade. He knows only two tricks to control inflation : Raise crr rate or repo rate. He even stopped paying interest on crr amount parked by banks with rbi. he single handedly stopped the banking sector reforms during his entire tenure. he is a good riddance and i sincerely hope mr rao will be bring in fresh round of reforms to take the financial sector forward instead of taking it back courtesy Mr reddy....

Pre-paid users can now enjoy full talk time---------------
NEW DELHI: Hidden charges in recharge coupons will soon become history. Telecom regulator Trai on Monday announced a series of measures, largely for pre-paid customers including waiving off processing charges on recharge cards to ‘improve transparency in tariffs and to protect the interests of consumers’. Besides, subscribers will no longer be charged any fee for moving from pre-paid to a post-paid connection.

Trai has asked all telcos to comply with its directives from September 15. When contacted, telcos said that they were already in compliance with most of the new norms. Pre-paid mobile subscribers, who account for over 92 per cent of India’s telecom users, will be the biggest beneficiaries of this move as they can now enjoy full talk time on all recharges. Users will now have to pay just an administrative fee not exceeding Rs 2 per recharge, Trai said. As of now, no operators give talktime equivalent to the value of the recharge card.

Importantly, Trai has also directed all operators to automatically extend all tariff reductions to their customers. The regulator had recently hauled up some telcos including Vodafone Essar for setting preconditions to avail the reduced charges.

“In cases of straight tariff reductions, where the declared intention of the operator is to extend the benefit to all subscribers without any attached liabilities, there shall not be any pre-condition of explicit positive action on the part of the subscribers,” Trai said. The regulator also said that customers on lifetime plans can migrate to new lifetime plans with lower entry fee without making additional payment or recharges. For the benefit of rural and semi-urban customers, Trai has mandated that all telcos provide key tariff information in vernacular languages, in addition to English and Hindi.

While issuing these directives, Trai also slammed the service providers who were not allowing their subscribers on lifetime schemes to move on to new schemes with lower tariffs, thus denying them the benefit of reduced call charges. “Such unfair measures are not in consonance with some of the existing mandates of the authority which provide for migration of subscribers from one plan to another plan on offer without having to pay any fee in the nature of migration charge,” Trai added.

Turning down mobile operators’ demands that lifetime customers be made to recharge their connection once in 60 days, Trai said that subscribers on this tariff package needed to do the same only once in 6 months to remain connected.

Justifying the move, Trai said: “Specifying recharges at such short intervals (60 days) will dilute the ‘lifetime’ character of the lifetime plan and make it more or less similar to the normal pre-paid plans that require recharges at shorter frequent intervals.” For telcos, the move implies that they will have a large number of customers who may use their phones only a couple of times over a six-month period. This will also pull down the average revenue per user (ARPU) of all players. In fact, lifetime pre-paid accounts for a significant bulk of the new subscriber additions for all operators.

Trai has also said that telcos cannot have more then five ‘Blackout or promotional days’. Blackout days are festival days during which operators temporarily withdraw all free or discounted offers. “Such days are to be pre-specified and no subsequent alteration or addition permitted,” Trai said.
