A day after dna reported how the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) goofed up the Common Entrance Test (CET) question paper for post-graduate students, medical education minister Vinod Tawde has ordered a detailed probe into the matter.

A day after dna reported how the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) goofed up the Common Entrance Test (CET) question paper for post-graduate students, medical education minister Vinod Tawde has ordered a detailed probe into the matter.

"We are taking cognizance of the dna report and I have asked for a detailed probe. We will ensure that students will not suffer," Tawde told dna.

The CET exam, held on January 4, was for MD and MS admissions. For 792 seats, 9,815 candidates appeared.

The medical fraternity, too, has reacted on the incident. Health experts feel it is high time the government changed the method of setting question papers.

"Instead of multiple-choice questions, they should include theory and viva voce tests," Dr Sangeeta Pikale, President, Association of Medical Consultant, said.

Experts also suggested a system to re-check question papers after they are set, so that there is not a single mistake, and a separate agency to hold the CET.

Dr Anil Pachnekar, chairman, action committee, IMA, Maharashtra, echoed the view. DMER has decided to blacklist those who set the questions for a stipulated period. The blunder resulted in candidates being gifted 43 marks.

It appears its becoming more popular to catch your neighbors not scooping up their dogs poop.

The Rotonda, a condo complex in Tysons Corner, is the latest to jump on the bandwagon.

The huge condo facility just off Route 7 said it plans to implement PooPrints, a database that tracks the DNA of dogs and matches it to steamy messes left behind, according to its March newsletter.

The association for the condo said it is updating its regulations on pets, otherwise known as Policy Resolution 22. Now dogs will have to be registered with the association and their DNA will be collected via a swab of the dogs mouth. If the pets owner doesnt clean up its waste, it will be matched to the animal.

It is not the first condo association to take a firm stand against poop left behind.

In Northern Virginia, the Midtown Alexandria Station condos last year hired a service to track and match the DNA of dogs there. The Chase in Bethesda made a similar effort.

[Using DNA to catch canine culprits and their owners]

Many condo associations often use PooPrints, a product of BioPet Vet Lab in Knoxville, Tenn. The company started in late 2010 and said it has the DNA of more than 30,000 dogs from 45 states and Canada.

Environmental and health officials have put out warnings about the risks of owners not picking up poop.

At times, a pets poop can create a rift between neighbors. In Fairfax County, two neighbors disputed whether the owner of Baxter a white, fluffy Westie-bichon frise mix had failed to pick up his poop.

Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Turin are using DNA extracted from herring sperm cells to develop new types of flame retardant materials They found DNA forms a protective coating when heated that resists fire The DNA breaks down into a foam that chars into a ceramic-like material Scientists believe it could create environmentally-friendly flame retardants These could be used to protect fabrics, furniture and plastics from fire

DNA molecules extracted from fish sperm is being used to develop new types of flame retardant materials.

Scientists recently discovered that DNA is highly resistant to fire.

And in a series of experiments, the researchers coated cloth in the DNA from herring sperm cells and found it converts to a ceramic-like material when exposed to extreme heat.

Cotton layered with DNA molecules resists burning as the genetic material forms a ceramic-like coating over the fabric, shown in the bottom image in the photograph above, while untreated cotton will burn readily (top)

This char-like foam then helps to prevent the flames from catching alight on the material.

Researchers behind the work believe DNA could provide a natural and environmentally-friendly way of protecting fabrics from fire.

DNA was thought to be a delicate and easily damaged material.
