Here we have been given a bed so players are able to rest,'' said DC Pandey, coach, RDSO hockey team.Risk of injuryBut the Railways are still not entirely out of the loop yet.

The 14-day tournament is being played on an astroturf that has outlived its expiry date."There is a great risk of injury while playing on this astroturf.

So the player controls himself while playing,'' said Mukesh Kumar, former India hockey captain.That would not be music to the ears of Railway sports officials who would hope to select the cream of hockey talent from this championship.

Despite employing the maximum number of hockey players the Railways today have no player in the Indian hockey team.

The Australian nation has added about five million people since 1976.

More than one-fifth of this net gain has been in twentysomething singles.

Not all, of course, mooch off mum and dad; some have been sighted, dressed in black, moving between the cafes, bars and restaurants of new inner-city apartmentia.

But the business opportunity presented by Gen Y's "singles tsunami" has not been limited to property.

New motor vehicles have evolved to service a burgeoning twentysomething "girl" market, with new cars such as Honda Jazz, VW Polo, Toyota Echo and Ford Festiva.

None of these cars would have found a market a generation earlier when twentysomething women had little or no independent income.

And any income they did have would have been directed to home-buying rather than to the frippery of fashionable forms of transport.

The rise of modern singledom has also changed the role of "friends": they have suddenly become far more important in the lives of twentysomethings no longer permanently pairing up at 21.

It can be a solitary existence remaining single for a whole decade without the companionship of a husband, wife or children.

Previous generations of twentysomethings didn't need or have time for friends.

But today's Ys need friends; they provide succour and validation.

Friends also deliver the pool from which potential partners are drawn.

I would not be surprised to see a market emerge over the next decade where thirtysomething Gen Y friends take out a joint mortgage ...

March 29, 2006 - Daylight-saving time does more than just rob us of an hour of ba href=/sleep/a/b.

When folks all across the country reset their clocks Sunday morning, they will also be forcing a vital part of their brains to do something it really doesn't want to do.

The biological clock, found in just about everything from pond scum to humans, is the key player in a complex system that controls the respiratory system, blood pressure and heartbeat, ba href=/sleep/a/b-wake cycles and even such seemingly unrelated problems as medical toxicity and depression.

Only in recent years have scientists begun to understand this vital clock, which is only about the size of a kernel of corn.

It has a dramatic impact on our mental and physical well-being.

Yet we ask it routinely to reset itself as we zip about the world, traveling across multiple time zones.

And on the first Sunday of every April, we tell it to spring forward one hour.

"It's a force that is manifested in every aspect of our daily existence," says biologist Dav...
