The potential of India's food industry
India is the world's second largest producer of food next to China, and has the potential of being the biggest with the food and agricultural sector. The processing food segment accounts for 29.4 billion, in a total estimated food market of about $91.7 billion. The food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India. It currently ranks fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and growth prospects. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has estimated that the food processing sector has the potential of attracting US$ 33 billion of investment in 10 years and generates employment of 9 million person-days. The Government has formulated and implemented several Plan Schemes to provide financial assistance for setting up and modernizing food processing units, creation of infrastructure, support for research and development and human resource development in addition to other promotional measures to encourage the growth of the processed food sector.
Is chemistry Tigers' secret formula to a Series win?
Stuff like players carrying Leyland off the field after beating the Yankees, then celebrating together by dancing to salsa music.

"If people get to know me more, that's good," Polanco said.

HEALTH: New Hope for Those with Macular Degeneration
First Maureen Marchio, 73, lost some of the sight in her left eye. Then six years ago her right eye started to get blurry, and the darkness started to close in around her. At the time, most people with her condition faced a high risk of blindness. But she was lucky. She got an experimental drug as part of a research study on wet macular degeneration. She knew it was working, she said, when she went out to weed her garden one day and found she was pulling up the weeds and not the flowers. "I shed a lot of tears when I first thought I was going blind," said Marchio, who lives in St. Paul, Minn. "I worried about what a burden I'd be on my kids." The research, published earlier this month in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that the drug halted progression of the wet form of the disease in about 90 percent of the people who took it.
