Bollworm blues -
The Statesman - Kolkata,India .... Four years after the Indian government allowed farmers to grow Bt cotton, which is genetically modified to contain the Bt toxin, the government’s department of biotechnology and the biotechnology industry say it has led to decreasing use of insecticides and improved yields. But another picture of India’s Bt saga is emerging — one that points to a pressing need for an enquiry into just how successful genetically modified technology has been in India. There are warning signs, for instance, of the bollworm’s resistance to the Bt toxin. The media and non-governmental organisations point to a worrying rate of suicide among cotton farmers in parts of India, though a direct link between the deaths and Bt cotton has not been established. Further, the monitoring of where and how the cotton is grown is also poor, and a market for legal and illegal, fake and real, Bt cotton has sprung into being.... causes losses worth $555 million — despite yearly spraying of insecticides worth almost ... of the country’s total crop area, yet half the pesticides used in ...

Robert Fisk: A dictator created then destroyed by America - Published: 30 December 2006.  Saddam to the gallows. It was an easy equation. Who could be more deserving of that last walk to the scaffold - that crack of the neck at  the end of a rope - than the Beast of Baghdad, the Hitler of the Tigris,  the man who murdered untold hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis  while spraying chemical weapons over his enemies? Our masters will tell  us in a few hours that it is a "great day" for Iraqis and will hope that the Muslim world will forget that his death sentence was signed - by the  Iraqi "government", but on behalf of the Americans - on the very eve of  the Eid al-Adha, the Feast of the Sacrifice, the moment of greatest  forgiveness in the Arab world.  But history will record that the Arabs and other Muslims and, indeed,  many millions in the West, will ask another question this weekend, a question that will not be posed in other Western newspapers because it  is not the narrative laid down for us by our presidents and prime  ministers - what about the other guilty men?  No, Tony Blair is not Saddam. We don't gas our enemies. George W Bush is not Saddam. He didn't invade Iran or Kuwait. He only invaded Iraq. But  hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians are dead - and thousands of  Western troops are dead - because Messrs Bush and Blair and the Spanish  Prime Minister and the Italian Prime Minister and the Australian Prime  Minister went to war in 2003 on a potage of lies and mendacity and,  given the weapons we used, with great brutality. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/fisk/article2112555.ece

Aspirin-induced asthma - Phenol [derivative of benzene] is the starting material to make aspirin (synthesized acetylsalicylic acid) "Phenol-containing compounds are widely used as disinfectants, dyes, explosives, perfumes, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Phenol can be made from the distillation of crude petroleum or coal tar, but the hydrolysis of chlorobenzene or the oxidation of isopropylbenzene, both of which are first made from benzene, more commonly produces it.
Aspirin-sensitive respiratory disease manifests as a triad of asthma, rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps. The prevalence of aspirin-sensitive asthma is said to be around 10% in adult asthmatics [1]. The pathogenesis may be blockade of cyclo-oxygenase enzyme and resultant overproduction of leukotrienes. Symptoms may be exacerbated by exposure to aspirin and other cyclo-oxygenase-1 inhibitors, such as NSAIDs. "  http://thorax.bmj.com/cgi/reprint/57/7/565.pdf
