The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi, is all set to conduct the first ever “ National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test ”, also known as NEET, from next year i.e. 2013onwards. The test will be conducted in orderto select eligible candidates for admission into undergraduate medical courses. However, the National Board of Examination (NBE) will conduct the post graduate exams for selection of eligible candidates. NEET will roll out from the academic session 2013-14.
Clarifying all the confusion about the proposed NEET exam, the Union Health Ministry informed the state governments that under the proposed scheme, their existing reservation policies would not be disturbed and state-wise eligibility merit listswill be prepared for each state keeping in mind the admission criteria of the institutes in every state. The Medical Council of India had, two years ago, proposed a single entrance test for around 32,000 undergraduate seats for MBBS in the country.
The Medical Council of India (MCI) is a statutory body with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining high standardsof medical education and recognition of medical qualifications in India. It registers doctors to practice in India, in order to protect and promote the health and safety ofthe public by ensuring proper standards in the practice of medicine.

Try some tongue twisters
Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells.
Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
Better than her bitter butter,
And she baked it in her batter,
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

A Train Ticket
An accountant and engineering convention was being held. On the train to the convention, there were both accounting andengineering majors. Each of the engineeringmajors had his/her own train ticket. But the accountants had only ONE ticket for all of them. The engineers started laughing and snickering. The accountants ignored the laughter.
Then, one of the accountants said, "Here comes the conductor". All of the accountantspiled into the bathroom. The engineers werepuzzled. The conductor came aboard and collected tickets from all the engineers. He went to the bathroom, knocked on the door,and said "Ticket please". An accountant stucktheir only ticket under the door. The conductor took the ticket and left. A few minutes later, the accountants emerged from the bathroom. The engineers felt really stupid.
On the way back from the convention, the group of engineering majors had ONE ticket for their group. They started snickering at the accountants, who had NO tickets amongst them. When the accountant lookout shouted "Conductor coming!", all theaccountants again piled into a bathroom. All of the engineers went into another bathroom. Then, before the conductor came on board, one of the accountants left the bathroom, knocked on the other bathroom, and said "Ticket please".

Mercury poisoning can turn birds homosexual
It appears that the environmental effects on abirds’ habitat can have a rather shocking andcontroversial result.
A recent study seems to show that Mercury poisoning of birds can lead to the male birds becoming homosexual!
In the study, a group of Ibises were given various levels of Methyl mercury in their diet and their behavior was monitored.
The effects of the poisoning seemed to showthat the male birds were exhibiting a much reduced interest in the females as well as trying to mate with other male birds. In addition, they also tried to build nests together. Something usually reserved for heterosexual pairs.
Lower levels of poisoning led to the heterosexual birds courting far less and showing odd patterns of behavior.
It is stated that this effect is likely to be seen in other birds and potentially other animal groups!
It makes me wonder just what chemicals andpollution in our diets might do to us especially when at critical stages of life such as developing in the womb. If Methyl mercuryincresases the likelyhood of homosexuality inour feathered friends, what could more dangerous levels of common chemicals do to a developing baby? Certainly food for thought.
The birds were split into four groups. One group ate food with 0.3 parts per million methyl mercury, which most US states wouldregard as too high for human consumption. A second group got 0.1 ppm, and the third 0.05 ppm, a low dose that wild birds would be exposed to frequently. The fourth group received none.

Nasa is Going to Tell Us That Aliens Exist!
Well…… maybe not but they have just announced a news conference , 2pm EST on Astrobiology. Now Astrobiology is all about the evolution, origin and future of life in our little Universe.
They claim that they have some exciting newsthat may impact the search for extra terrestrial lifeforms!
What does that mean? I don’t know exactly but this certainly all seems somewhat cloak and dagger at the moment. I wouldn’t get too excited though as NASA has a habit of putting out teasers before the big event only for it to be more of a pop than a bang.
My advice would be to check out NASA Television to watch the event live as it happens. If you can’t bring yourself to do that, check back soon as we will have all the juicy details.

The Human Eye May Act as a Compass
In a way that is similar to how an everyday compass reacts to the earths magnetic field, scientists have discovered that a protein present in human eyes, may in fact behave in a similar fashion.
This magneto-receptive protein called cryptochrome, is present – in one of two forms – in every animal on planet Earth. What Dr.Reppert of the University of Massachusetts Medical School has shown is that if this protein is removed from the eyes of a fly, it loses it’s ability to respond to a magnetic field.
Subsequently, if the human version of this protein is then made available in the flies’ eye,through genetic engineering, this ability returns.
This work seems to imply that humans may in fact have a built in ability to respond to magnetic field lines in some way.
Earlier work done on this was carried out by a Dr Robin Baker of the University of Manchester in the 1980s. Over hundreds of experiments involving thousands of volunteers, he claimed to find subtle evidencethat humans could indirectly sense magnetic fields.
Perhaps these scientists are onto something?It would certainly make sense that through our evolution as a species, we once developed an ability to navigate using an in-built compass.
