MADURAI: Kommineni Krishnamohan clocked a national record of 14.00 seconds in the 110 metres hurdles on the concluding day of the 48th National inter-State athletics championships at the MGR Stadium here on Wednesday. Running into a headwind measuring one metre per second, Krishnamohan, a 26-year-old Havildar from Artillery, cruised through to the record that bettered Naunidh Singh’s mark of 14.05s set in Hyderabad in 2005. “I was hoping to dip under 14 seconds,” said the man from Guntur. Perhaps he might have achieved that but for a gush of wind hitting him through the final stretch. It was a faultless performance that came out of the blue, as it were. The hurdler from Andhra Pradesh had recorded his previous best of 14.18s in the Open National in Hyderabad when Naunidh had his record. The Olympic standard stood at 13.72s.

Washington: Laptops and personal computers of the future will be cooled by tiny fridges sitting snugly inside them, according to an Indian American computer scientist. Unlike conventional fan-based systems, these miniatures would ensure the removal of a greater volume of heat and also improve the performance of the machines, said Indian American computer scientist, Suresh Garimella , of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. New types of cooling systems will be needed for future chips that are expected to generate 10 times more heat than microprocessors today, especially in small “hot spots,” said Garimella, a product of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras. Garimella and his team have already developed an analytical model for designing tiny compressors that pump refrigerants using penny-size diaphragms. They have also validated the model with experimental data. “We feel we have a very good handle on this technology now, but there still are difficulties in implement...

Last October, Warner Brothers picked up the rights to a book in the works by Olen Steinhauer called The Tourist, a story focusing on a spy who is falsely accused of murder and has to clear his name. And now we're getting another movie called The Tourist . However, this one is based on the French thriller, Anthony Zimmer , and Variety reports that Bharat Nalluri -- the man who helmed Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day -- will direct it. Talk about confusion -- a movie based on another movie, but shares the same name as yet another movie. Casanova director Lasse Hallstrom was originally set to direct the film, but left the project a while ago. Now Nalluri will take on Julian Fellowes' (Gosford Park) script, which focuses on "an American tourist who finds his life in danger when a female Interpol agent uses him as a dupe to flush out an elusive criminal with whom she once had an affair." It's sort of like a Dave / Moon Over Parador film -- Zimmer is this money launder...

June 03, 2008 Greece: Six-time Indian national rally champ Naren Kumar moved into the top-10 of the PWRC final standings at the Acropolis Rally in Greece after Martin Rauam was disqualified by the stewards on account of using a component that is not allowed. As such in his very first outing, Naren has made a mark for himself by displaying his steady nerve and car control.

Day two saw his fuel pump stop working for a few minutes and SS11 saw the turbo break half way through, making the following stages even more of a challenge. Aiming to reach the finish, Kumar...

Sukhwant Basra June 02, 2008: The Indian battles persistent car problems but makes up seven places on final day India’s Naren Kumar battled persistent car problems and rough terrain that saw 26 competitors out of the original 60 fall by the wayside to notch a creditable 11th place finish at his (Production World Rally Championship) PWRC debut in Greece. In a field that featured the best in the world in the open category, Naren representing Team Sidvin, came in overall 25th. He managed this despite the BP Ultimate Acropolis Rally being his first outing at this high level and while driving a car - Subaru N 14 - that has its fair share of hassles as it made its debut into competitive driving. These are provisional results as of now but the final standing is unlikely to change. Had his turbo not blown on Saturday and he had not lost four minutes plus in stage 12, he would have been in reaching distance of a top-10 finish. To make it to the top-5, however, he will have to improve by more t...
