new delhi , india ( cnn ) as the earth shook in nepal , tremors were felt over the border in india as well . it was a call to action : within hours of the first 7.8 magnitude quake , india began planning a massive cross-border aid mission . with each hour , the scale of the devastation in nepal became clearer -- some 3,862 people are known to have died so far -- and plans in india , where 72 people were also killed , got bigger . on sunday alone , india delivered 187 tons of supplies , including 50 tons of water , 22 tons of food and 2 tons of medicine . and there will be more to come . hundreds of trained disaster relief troops landed in kathmandu and quickly got to work . with each flight in , there was a flight back out , packed with indians and other nationals escaping to safety : 2,000 and counting have fled so far . by monday , india was in full-scale crisis mode : from airports across india , planes flew in loaded with aid , and trucks made the trip by land from india 's east , aiming for more remote areas . on the ground : devastation in nepal . india 's prime minister narendra modi has made a special effort over nepal . he has visited the country twice in his first year in office . and on sunday , in his national radio address to the nation , he said indians needed to `` wipe the tears of every nepali , hold their hands , and stand with them . '' it all highlights the more proactive role taken by india in recent months . just weeks ago , india flexed its military muscle to rescue indians and other nationals from conflict-torn yemen . now , it is taking the lead in nepal . some might say india 's friendship is a signal for the other big country that shares a border with nepal : china . a display of hard power , perhaps to achieve enduring soft power in the region . but in times like this , help is always welcome . first there 's the immediate search and rescue operation , and then the long process of rebuilding work . nepal will need india 's friendship -- as well as china 's -- for many long months ahead .

( cnn ) since iran 's islamic revolution in 1979 , women have been barred from attending most sports events involving men . but the situation appears set to improve in the coming months after a top iranian sports official said that the ban will be lifted for some events . a plan to allow `` women and families '' to enter sports stadiums will come into effect in the next year , deputy sports minister abdolhamid ahmadi said saturday , according to state-run media . but it is n't clear exactly which games women will be able to attend . according to the state-run press tv , ahmadi said the restrictions would be lifted for indoor sports events . the rules wo n't change for all matches because some sports are mainly related to men and `` families are not interested in attending '' them , press tv cited him as saying . iranian authorities imposed the ban on women attending men 's sports events after the revolution , deeming that mixed crowds watching games together was un-islamic . during the ensuing decades , the crowds at soccer games , iran 's most popular sport , have been all male . iranian women were briefly permitted to attend volleyball matches under the moderate president mohammad khatami , but the ban was reinstated in 2005 after the more hard-line mahmoud ahmadinejad came to power . the iranian government has come under pressure from international sports officials over the restrictions . fifa president sepp blatter called on iran last month to end its `` intolerable '' ban on women attending soccer matches , saying the situation `` can not continue . '' iran had been in the running to host the 2019 edition of soccer 's asian cup , but the tournament was awarded to the united arab emirates . the ban on women attending matches was widely seen as a major impediment to iran 's chances of securing the event . the ban came under the spotlight at the asian cup in australia earlier this year , when thousands of female iranian fans watched their soccer team without restriction . during the match against iraq , activists called for the ban to end and unfurled a banner showing the face of ghoncheh ghavami , a british-iranian woman detained in iran last year while trying to watch a volleyball match . iranian officials have denied that ghavami was arrested for attending the volleyball game , saying she was taken into custody for `` anti-iran activities . '' the news agency reuters reported that she was recently pardoned by the court of appeal . cnn 's annie ramos contributed to this report .

( cnn ) a north pacific gray whale has earned a spot in the record books after completing the longest migration of a mammal ever recorded . the whale , named varvara , swam nearly 14,000 miles ( 22,500 kilometers ) , according to a release from oregon state university , whose scientists helped conduct the whale-tracking study . varvara , which is russian for `` barbara , '' left her primary feeding ground off russia 's sakhalin island to cross the pacific ocean and down the west coast of the united states to baja , mexico . varvara 's journey surpassed a record listed on the guinness worlds records website . it said the previous record was set by a humpback whale that swam a mere 10,190-mile round trip between the `` warm breeding waters near the equator and the colder food-rich waters of the arctic and antarctic regions . '' records are nice , but bruce mate , the lead author of the study , thinks the long trip might say more about the whale than just its ability to swim . during her 14,000-mile journey , varvara visited `` three major breeding areas for eastern gray whales , '' which was a surprise to mate , who is also the director of the marine mammal institute at oregon state university . `` for her to go to mexico , '' mate said , `` it 's pretty strong evidence that it 's where she 's from . '' varvara was thought to be an endangered western whale , but her ability to `` navigate across open water over tremendously long distances is impressive , '' he said in the release , which could mean that some western gray whales are actually eastern grays . with only 150 western gray whales believed to be in existence , that number might be even lower . `` past studies have indicated genetic differentiation between the species , but this suggests we may need to take a closer look , '' mate said . fourth baby orca born this season .

( cnn ) feeling so happy you just ca n't stand it ? you might want to pop some acetaminophen . a new study has found that acetaminophen , the main ingredient in tylenol , most forms of midol and more than 600 other medicines , reduces not only pain but pleasure , as well . the authors of the study , which was published this week in psychological science , say that it was already known that acetaminophen blunted psychological pain . but their new research led them to the conclusion that it also blunted joy -- in other words , that it narrowed the range of feelings experienced . `` this means that using tylenol or similar products might have broader consequences than previously thought , '' said geoffrey durso , a doctoral student in social psychology at ohio state university and the lead author of the study . `` rather than just being a pain reliever , acetaminophen can be seen as an all-purpose emotion reliever . '' the researchers tested their thesis by showing 82 college students 40 photographs -- some of highly pleasant images , such as children with kittens , and some of highly unpleasant images , such as children who were malnourished . half of the participants in the study were given `` an acute dose '' of acetaminophen -- 1,000 milligrams -- and the other half were given a placebo with the same appearance . the subjects were then asked to rate the photos according to how unpleasant or pleasant they were . those who took the acetaminophen rated all the photos less extremely than those who took the placebo . `` in other words , positive photos were not seen as positively under the influence of acetaminophen and negative photos were not seen as negatively , '' the authors reported . the researchers followed up by testing a group of 85 people to see whether this change in judgment applied just to emotions or whether the drug blunted people 's evaluation of magnitude in general . this group showed the same blunting of emotional reactions . but acetaminophen did not affect how much blue they saw in each photo . but people who participated in the study did not appear to know they were acting differently , said baldwin way , an assistant professor of psychology who was another of the study 's authors . `` most people probably are n't aware of how their emotions may be impacted when they take acetaminophen , '' way said . each week , about 23 % of american adults -- or 52 million people -- use a medicine containing acetaminophen , according to the nonprofit consumer healthcare products association . the authors said it was not known whether other pain relievers , such as ibuprofen and aspirin , have the same effect . but have no fear -- they plan to study that question , as well .

( cnn ) five years after the deepwater horizon rig exploded and unleashed the largest marine oil spill in the nation 's history , we are still experiencing -- yet only beginning to truly understand -- its profound environmental and economic repercussions . the immediate aftermath of the oil spill has been well documented , with declines in tourism and the seafood industry , as well as the significant destruction of wildlife in the region . since then , the amount of oil in the area has dissipated and communities have started to show signs of recovery . in fact , reports indicate that the gulf of mexico 's seafood industry , which supplies the united states with roughly 40 % of its seafood , is finally starting to rebound . however , profound challenges remain , in part because so many questions about the long-term consequences remain unanswered . to this day , it 's still unclear where all of the oil went , exactly how much remains or whether the reappearance of wildlife is a result of adaptation or a signal that the crisis is truly abating . one of the populations that can provide insight into these questions is the gulf crab . crabs play an important role in the region : roughly 60 million pounds were fished in the gulf in 2012 , earning tens of millions in revenue . yet in the aftermath of the spill , changes to crustacean communities in the area were quite apparent to the naked eye . researchers documented substantial differences in appearance , and deformities in crabs that were affected by the spill including lesions so numerous they ate through the joints , forcing limbs to fall off . these traits have affected not only the crabs ' market value but also likely their ability to survive . while these changes in outward appearance have dissipated in the short-term , the health of these crabs could still be precarious . i have been working with colleagues at florida international university and university of louisiana at lafayette to better understand what might be happening biologically inside the crab when it is exposed to oil and the dispersant used to respond to the spill . using the power of genomics and computational biology , we analyzed the genes of flat back mud crabs that were exposed to oil from the macondo prospect where the deepwater horizon rig was drilling when it exploded or to a combination of oil and dispersant in the lab . by studying gene expression , the process that turns information from a gene into a product that functions within a cell , we searched for indicators that might signal exposure to oil and , based on the types of changes we might see , clues as to how the crabs respond . although we are still in the early stages of our research , we are seeing significant differences in gene expression connected to exposure -- meaning the crabs are turning some genes on or off in response to oil and dispersant . we are still working to determine whether these changes impact their ability to survive and reproduce . it 's not just gulf crabs that are experiencing changes . research on different species and other aspects of the regional environment is starting to show that there could be long-term effects resulting from the oil spill and the response to the spill . this not only has consequences for the gulf area , where oil drilling continues , but also for communities along the atlantic coast , where the obama administration has recently announced a plan to open unprecedented oil and natural gas exploration . ( bp 's vice president of communications , geoff morrell , told cnn that wildlife species in the gulf have `` bounced back and `` there is no data that suggests there are any long-term population-level impacts to any species . '' ) with the virtual certainty of more spills , we need a lot more information on the consequences of these disasters and how we can combat them effectively and efficiently . the u.s. department of the interior and the environmental protection agency are making some progress . in coming months , they are releasing changes to regulations and response plans based on the early lessons learned from the deepwater horizon spill . but government agencies can not just rely on the short-term data to determine the best response for the next oil spill crisis . instead , the government and oil companies should work together to support ongoing , long-term ecological research so that we have a better grasp of what `` normal '' looks like and what factors are important in maintaining those conditions even after a disastrous oil spill . only then will we truly understand the impact of offshore drilling and the best ways to respond to crises to protect our most important natural resources .
