Delhi-based Deepika, whose real life story inspired Ekta Kapoor's upcoming film "Ragini MMS", Friday said that if the film is not shown to her prior to its release, she will take legal action against the producer.
"I want to see the film. I have spoken to Ekta about it. She doesn't want to show it to me, I don't know why?" the 22-year-old told reporters here.
"I'm coming from Balaji office right now and the only answer I get is that the movie is not ready. How is it possible? The movie is releasing in one week. If I'm not shown the film before release, I will take legal action, " she added.
Deepika, who was shown the script of the film before it was filmed, said she wants to see whether she has been portrayed in the right light or not.
"When the film was being made, I was shown the script and I did read it. I have no problem with the script. But there is a lot of difference between reading the script and interpreting that on the screen. I want to see how they have portrayed my character. Because if there is something bad, then my image will be ruined, " said the Delhi girl.
Ekta has maintained that only 30 percent of the film is based from Deepika's incident and the rest is pure imagination.
According to Deepika, she was offered money as compensation for her story but she refused.
"Ekta asked me if I want to be paid. But I said no. she didn't mention an amount but she said she can pay me for this. But I told her that I don't want anything because it's a story on my life, " she said.
In the real life incident, Dipika said, her boyfriend secretly filmed both of them involved in intimate physical contact.
Kainaz Motivala, who essays the role in the film, reveals that she has never met her and was told very little about the original incident.
"I was told about the original story very briefly. I haven't met her, " Kainaz told.
The actress argues that the film is not cent percent based on what happened with Deepika, and the character she plays is quite different from her.
"This film is not 100 percent real. It's also partly fictional. My character is also not all based on Deepika. She is from Delhi, Ragini is a south Bombay girl. As I had never met Deepika, I didn't get to do much research, " said Kainaz.
Report says that while Deepika was recovering from the shock in Delhi, Ekta was planning to make a film on the MMS scandal in Mumbai.
"Ragini MMS", which is produced by Ekta and directed by Pawan Kripalani, is slated to hit screens May 13 and is about a couple who go for an adventurous weekend and get filmed by 24 cameras amid some paranormal activity.
Report says that while Deepika was recovering from the shock in Delhi, Ekta was planning to make a film on the MMS scandal in Mumbai.
When Deepika's friend, who work in Balaji production, asked Ekta if she would like to meet a girl who has gone through such a similar incident, Ekta grabbed the opportunity. Deepika has even signed a contract with Balaji Films.
Asked if she ever insisted to meet Deepika, she said: "I am sure there is a reason why I was not made to meet her."
Meanwhile... Stir over Ragini MMS posters
Ekta Kapoor's upcoming paranormal film Ragini MMS seems to be attracting controversies. As the release date is approaching, the film is incurring the wrath of locals.
The faces of the lead actors of Ragini MMS on the posters of the film were blackened at Andheri and Bandra
Some angry residents have pulled down posters of the film at some places and also blackened the faces of the lead couple Rajkumar Yadav and Kainaz Motivala, citing vulgarity concerns.
Airport authorities has pulled down two hoardings near Santa Cruz station and few posters have been blackened in Andheri East and the Bandra lake.
This has left the Balaji team fuming. They feel someone is trying to sabotage their film.
Kainaz seems unperturbed by such actions and says, "It doesn't matter. People have loved the promos and I think they will still come and watch it."
Raj adds confidently, "I think everyone has their own perception. Hopefully this will not harm our film and people's perception will change once they watch the film."

No divas here: Photographer says SI swimsuit edition models 'best to work with'
With Kate Upton looking so glamorous last night at the Vanity Fair Oscar party (and being so gracious to her staff on Twitter), we thought we'd bring you some insight into what it's like flying around with the models of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
It's worth mentioning that for the past several years, Contour by Getty Images has been the sole licensor of this celebrated special issue (including the cover). And for the past three, Getty Images photographer Michael Loccisano has been covering the events surrounding the launch – from flying to fabulous Las Vegas with the models, to the days (and nights) spent promoting the issue.
We asked Loccisano what he's learned traveling on such an exciting assignment, and this is what he had to say:
[bra_slider w=660 h=835][/bra_slider]
- Pack light: The first year he covered the events, Loccisano's duffel bag was stolen en route to the airport. Suffice it to say, he traveled really light (no fun starting an assignment having to emergency shop at the Las Vegas Gap). The second year, he totally over packed. This year, he finally got things right – gear and all – without letting his luggage weigh him down.
- The models involved in the Swimsuit Edition are a contradiction to all negative "model" stereotypes: "These women are down-to-earth, professional, top-tier models, and the best to work with."
- Pace yourself: "Las Vegas is a wild city, but you can't let that get you carried away. [Covering these events] is a lot of work, and you really need to be on your game the whole time."
- His friends and family ask if they can be his assistant: "Yes, I'm flying around with some of the most beautiful women in the world, and it's great to be around them. But we're all professionals … it's not exactly what some people would like to imagine."
- It's an opportunity and an assignment he really cherishes: "It's a great thing to be a part of and I'm really grateful for the whole thing. The SI team is wonderful to work with."
Editor's note: Michael Loccisano is a longtime entertainment photographer and — like Sports Illustrated models — one of the most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet. Since he's not on Twitter (yet!) you can find him behind the lens at the most exciting entertainment events or behind the grill at the Eddie Adams workshop, an organization he supports.

Tifton Police are now offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who shot a woman Monday night.
Police believe Angela Downs was the intended target of the shooting at the Brookfield Mews Apartments just after 10:00.
Several cars in the parking lot had also been shot up. Downs was treated at Tift Regional for her injuries and then sent home.
In offering the reward, Tifton Police say the city has seen a drastic increase in gang related violence that the Department wants to end.
One way Tifton Police are looking to do that is to improve communications and cooperation with citizens in the community.

Score New Tunes & Win A Trip To The Arctic Circle With This Interactive Video
When you hear a single that you're into, you're apt to listen to it on loop — engraining every note and nuance into your feverish brainpan. Well, what if you could also hone your hand-eye coordination whilst listening to said single, and thereby potentially score a trip to an exotic (and frosty) locale? Well, then, you'd likely be really into Swedish band The Amplifetes' video game/music video for "Where Is The Light," the first single off of an upcoming album by the same name.
"We've always been friends with the digital era," says the band's Henrik Jonback. "It's hard to find new ways to explore our music and [the game] felt like a fun way of interacting with our fans, instead of the traditional music video."
The game — which the guys created with help from creative team LorentznQuiroz — is located on the band's Facebook page, as well as on a dedicated website. Simply log in with Facebook or your email address and commence playing. The conceit is pretty simple: Fly through a space-like atmosphere (reminiscent of the graphics in Bjork's Biophilia app) and use your arrow keys to capture triangles of light as they fly toward you. Once you've finished playing, you can "Like" the band on Facebook to score a free download of the danceable-yet-dark song "Where Is The Light," which plays throughout the game.
While playing, you can also click a button reading "Broadcast With Love" to suggest a friend play as well. The option allows you to include a secret message to your pal that will be revealed as your friend plays the game. This function will likely net the band more fans: As people share the game with friends, they're also sharing the band's music.
"It's not just about catching the triangles." Jonback says of the game. "It's also a way for the fans to find us."
Those who are especially proficient at catching triangles will score more than just a free download: Players who have garnered the most light bars by the end of 2012 will win a trip to The Arctic Circle.
"Our country [Sweden] is part of the Arctic Circle," Jonback says. "It's dark in the winters and it's daylight 24 hours a day now when it's summertime, so it's really twisted. I guess that applies to the creation of music coming from Sweden — it's a special climate for music. It feels like it's all connected."
The band's own album was created in a rather unique way — using an old mixing console that Pink Floyd employed when recording Animals and The Wall. According to the band's Peter Ågren, this analogue method of making music was pretty new for the band. When it first formed, the guys had yet to meet one of their members, Tommy Spaanheden, who lives in a different town. Consequently, they worked on their first record, The Amplifetes, remotely and used the Web and digital tools to compose the whole thing.
This time around, the guys only turned to the computer when it came time to edit the album — and to create their interactive music video, of course. They plan to release an iPhone app version of "Where Is The Light" soon.

A course on culinary tourism drew a crowd at Confederation College Friday.
Experts from the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance were teaching locals how to bring in more visitors by using fine dining as an attraction.
Among the 70 participants at the event were local vegetable producers, cattle farmers, hotel owners and restaurateurs.
They were given a lot of ideas on how to create a more appealing restaurant, and make the food they create stand out.
A main selling point of the event was that it opened up a lot of networking options and started the conversation about how important the local food movement has been in larger tourism industries.
Another discussion was which authentic tastes Thunder Bay has to offer.
City officials say Thunder Bay is well on its way to building a diverse array of culinary styles, to attract a different brand of visitors.

I feel your hot breath and the dampness of your lips as you whisber right into my ear when you remove your hand I sit apd enjoy the feeling that has washed over me biting my lower lip to keep from screaming an obscenity. Couldn't think of a better way to start the ay than with a blowjob and a mouthful of my own tasty cum that didn't take long before my lips parted though and my cock slipped into my mouth for the second tibe. She had her mouth wide openad as Ron fucked her deep and hard i also thisk she liked it because her face also included a hint of pleasure and ecstasy. cood morning sir. greeted Janet in her normally cheerful tone of voice oz and Freddie rose from their seats and both greeted Hutch Good morning sir. I never would have pegged you as being willng like that. I figured knowing you two yo. had to have done this before. Just what I want when I come to surprise yo a cum filled slut wife! Fuck you. He didn't care about the word anymore or how Lynn felt about it he stepped back and tried to look at the docr without success. When we got it inside we collapsed on the sofa breathing hard and kicked off our shoes uleaving her apartment door open I was going to slip it under your door but your door is open. I had . Ardy been in my room an hour before I heard her. Leosha got in the car slamming the door then slammed her fist into the steering wheel fpr added effect Goddamn that little gody-good bitch! she yelled then let her voice fade away into a series of expletives.

WORK has started on a new roof at the East Lancashire Hospice – paid for by Lancashire Telegraph readers.
A total of £125,000 was raised for the much-needed renovation as part of the Raise the Roof campaign.
Bosses at the site in Park Lee Road, Blackburn, said the dilapidation had become so bad that some rooms had been closed because of leaks.
Chris Worswick, site manager for J&C Devlin, said: "The concrete tiles we are taking off are past their best. They were meant to have a shelf life of 25 years, but have been up for 28, and you can tell – there are leaks all over.
"We're working in eight phases, stripping, rebattoning and recovering each area, and then moving on to another.
"This is for the benefit of the hospice, because we don't want to be uncovering a section that they need to use.
"Builders are using natural slate instead of concrete tiles, which have a life of more than 75 years. They are also replacing perished felt underneath with a high-quality, breathable alternative."
In the attic space, workers are putting in new layer of insulation that is double the thickness of the original, meaning heating bills will be slashed.
Chris said: "We hope to be completed by the end of June or first week of July.
"It is weather-dependant, though. Any rain means we will have to stop and start, so there are no leaks in the building."
Sharon Crymble, fundraiser for the East Lancashire Hospice, said: "We're thrilled to see the work starting, and know it wouldn't have got to this stage without the support of Lancashire Telegraph readers.
"Although we have raised an amazing £125,000 for the roof, we also need to raise £3million every year to keep the hospice open."

Macrogol 3350 13.125g
Sodium Chloride 350.7mg
Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate 178.5mg
Potassium Chloride 46.6mg
The content of electrolyte ions per sachet following reconstitution in 125ml of water is equivalent to:
Sodium 65mmol/l
Chloride 53mmol/l
Hydrogen Carbonate (Bicarbonate) 17mmol/l
Potassium 5.4mmol/l
For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1.3. Pharmaceutical Form
Powder for oral solution. Single-dose sachet containing a free flowing white powder.4. Clinical Particulars 4.1 Therapeutic Indications
For the treatment of chronic constipation. Laxido Orange is also effective in resolving faecal impaction, defined as refractory constipation with faecal loading of the rectum and/or colon.4.2 Posology And Method Of Administration
Laxido Orange is for oral use.
Chronic Constipation:
A course of treatment for chronic constipation with Laxido Orange does not normally exceed 2 weeks, although this can be repeated if required. As for all laxatives, prolonged use is not usually recommended. Extended use may be necessary in the care of patients with severe chronic or resistant constipation, secondary to multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's Disease, or induced by regular constipating medication in particular opioids and antimuscarinics.
Adults, adolescents and the elderly: 1-3 sachets daily in divided doses, according to individual response. For extended use, the dose can be adjusted down to 1 or 2 sachets daily.
Children below 12 years old: Not recommended.
Faecal Impaction:
A course of treatment for faecal impaction with Laxido Orange does not normally exceed 3 days.
Adults, adolescents and the elderly: 8 sachets daily, all of which should be consumed within a 6 hour period.
Children below 12 years old: Not recommended.
Patients with impaired cardiovascular function: For the treatment of faecal impaction the dose should be divided so that no more than 2 sachets are taken in any one hour.
Patients with renal insufficiency: No dosage change is necessary for the treatment of constipation or faecal impaction.
Each sachet should be dissolved in 125 ml water. For use in faecal impaction, 8 sachets may be dissolved in 1 litre of water.4.3 Contraindications
Laxido Orange is contraindicated in intestinal obstruction or perforation caused by functional or structural disorder of the gut wall, ileus and in patients with severe inflammatory conditions of the intestinal tract (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and toxic megacolon).
Hypersensitivity to the active substances or any of the excipients.4.4 Special Warnings And Precautions For Use
The faecal impaction diagnosis should be confirmed by appropriate physical or radiological examination of the rectum and abdomen.
Mild adverse drug reactions are possible as indicated in Section 4.8. If patients develop any symptoms indicating shifts of fluids/electrolytes (e.g. oedema, shortness of breath, increasing fatigue, dehydration, cardiac failure) Laxido Orange should be stopped immediately and electrolytes measured and any abnormality should be treated appropriately.4.5 Interaction With Other Medicinal Products And Other Forms Of Interaction
There are no known interactions of Laxido Orange with other medicinal products. However, macrogol 3350 raises the solubility of medicinal products that are soluble in alcohol and mainly insoluble in water. It is a theoretical possibility that absorption of these drugs could be reduced transiently. Therefore, other medicines should not be taken orally for one hour before and for one hour after taking Laxido Orange.4.6 Pregnancy And Lactation
There is no experience with the use of Laxido Orange during pregnancy and lactation and it should not be used during pregnancy and lactation unless clearly necessary.4.7 Effects On Ability To Drive And Use Machines
Laxido Orange has no influence on the ability to drive and use machines.4.8 Undesirable Effects
Immune System Disorders:
Allergic reactions are possible.
Gastro-intestinal Disorders:
Potential gastro-intestinal effects that may occur include abdominal distension and pain, borborygmi and nausea. Mild diarrhoea may also occur, but normally resolves after dose reduction.4.9 Overdose
Severe distension or pain can be treated using nasogastric aspiration. Vomiting or diarrhoea may induce extensive fluid loss, possibly leading to electrolyte disturbances that should be treated appropriately.5. Pharmacological Properties 5.1 Pharmacodynamic Properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Osmotically acting laxatives.
ATC code: A06A D65
Macrogol 3350 induces a laxative effect through its osmotic action in the gut. This product also contains electrolytes to ensure that there is no overall gain or loss of water, potassium or sodium.
Clinical studies using the listed active substances for the treatment of chronic constipation have shown that the dose required to produce normally formed stools tends to decrease over time. For most patients, the maintenance dose will be one to two sachets per day (adjusted according to individual response).
Comparative studies in faecal impaction using active controls (e.g. enemas) have not been performed. However, results from a non-comparative study have shown that, from a population of 27 adult patients, the listed combination of active substances cleared faecal impaction in 12/27 (44%) patients after one day's treatment, increasing to 23/27 (85%) following two days' treatment and 24/27 (89%) recovered at the end of three days.5.2 Pharmacokinetic Properties
Macrogol 3350 is virtually unabsorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract and is excreted, unaltered, in faeces. Any macrogol 3350 that enters the systemic circulation is excreted in urine.5.3 Preclinical Safety Data
Preclinical studies provide evidence that macrogol 3350 has no significant systemic toxicity potential, although no tests of its effects on reproduction or genotoxicity have been conducted.
There are no long-term animal toxicity or carcinogenicity studies involving macrogol 3350, although there are toxicity studies using high levels of orally administered high-molecular weight macrogols that provide evidence of safety at the recommended therapeutic dose.6.

- Thursday, August 11, 2005
Imagine you've planned a mission trip, and you're so clear of your destination because not only has God told you where to go (Acts 16), the Holy Spirit has also shown you where not to go (vs. 6). Anyway, you're going along, doing the Lord's work, and you encounter a woman from whom you cast you an evil spirit (vs. 16-18). Not only is nobody rejoicing over this miracle, this girl's master is totally ticked at you because she no longer has the ability to tell fortunes (vs. 19). You are stripped, beaten, and thrown in jail (vs. 22-24).
Not cool! God, you sent us here to do your work, and I don't see it happening right here, right now! You obviously have no clue how to do mission work.
(Oh wait, that would be my response. What Paul and Silas did was…)
Sing (vs. 25). Sing?! Come on now, that would probably be my last reaction. But sing hymns and praises they did, the other prisoners listened in, and wouldn't you know it? – an earthquake shook the prison to its foundations, all the doors swung open, and all the chains just fell off the captives (vs. 26). The guard, thinking he was in some serious trouble, was about to fall on his own sword when Paul shouted out they were all there (vs. 27-29). That man immediately asked what he must do to be saved, and his whole family accepted Christ (vs. 30-34) that night.
Almost unbelievable. Part of me wants to ask, "Couldn't God have just sent Paul, in a nice suit and tie, straight to Mr. Jailer's neighborhood to go door-to-door and achieve the same result?" Probably. Definitely. But He wanted to do it this way, which stung for a while but quite honestly was much cooler in the end.
Which brings me to the other ways to miss miracles – by not accepting them or expecting them, by resenting them or wanting to earn them. I quote from Blue Like Jazz again, where Miller admits, "I love to give to charity, but I don't want to be charity. This is why I have so much trouble with grace" (84). The other problem with grace is that, as with Paul and Silas, it often, by nature, is revealed when circumstances smell really stinky. They knew that; I hope to. It would certainly make me more pleasant in traffic.
So what is the ultimate purpose of these "just for you" mini-miracles? Well, that's obviously somewhat subjective. Overall, I think the Lord is trying to say during the Feeding of the 5,000 and even today, "Here I Am, stay here, spend more time, no need to go away, please accept this, put yourself in My hands, keep your eyes open, I love you."
After all, "If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him?" (Matthew 7:11). Mini-miracles are the treats God brings home to His kids, those who seek him with childlike faith (Psalms 116:6, Matthew 11:25), those who consider themselves "the little things in life." Well, duh…

Why Read It?
Combining analysis of both the theory and practice of business valuation, this is a highly regarded text on how to best measure the value of a particular asset.
Damodaran has a great reputation as a teacher and authority, and he here critically evaluates the leading valuation models to help pick the right model for any scenario.
Provides practical frameworks for addressing the key issues of company valuation.
Getting Started
Damodaran on Valuation provides focused guidance on asset valuation for practitioners involved in securities analysis, portfolio management, M&A, and corporate finance. It offers a systematic examination of the three basic approaches to valuation—discounted cash flow valuation, relative valuation, and contingent claim valuation—and explains the concepts and techniques of valuation in an understandable manner.
Aswath Damodaran is professor of finance at the Stern School of Business, and has also taught at the University of California, Berkeley. He was the youngest winner of the University-wide Distinguished Teaching Award, and profiled in Business Week as one of the top 12 business school professors.
Examines a variety of real-life firms where the direct application of valuation models has failed, identifies the problems, and offers solutions.
Explains the value and limitations of models in order to illustrate key techniques.
Assists the development of the skills needed to select the right model for any valuation scenario.
Presents how to implement the right model, and the kinds of firms to which it is best applied.
Discusses many of the common myths of valuation, regarding objectivity, supposed timelessness, precision, quantitativeness, and process.
Focuses throughout on application, including how to develop an understanding of stock fundamentals.
Emphasizes the usefulness and benefits of the variety of valuation models available to businesses.
Presents tools designed for a variety of demands, such as estimating the cost of equity, estimating growth rates, measuring free cash flow to equity, valuing firms, estimating the value of assets by looking at the pricing of comparable assets, and measuring the value of assets that share option characteristics.
Provides spreadsheets that have been prepared to allow readers to apply what they are learning immediately.
"Reasonable estimates of value can be made for most assets and that the same fundamental principles determine the value of all types of assets, real as well as financial."
"Valuation is not an objective exercise, and any preconceptions and biases that an analyst brings to the process will find its way into the value."
"Matching the valuation model to the asset or firm being valued is as important a part of valuation as understanding the models and having the right inputs."

If you look hard at the carton of milk in your fridge right now, you may find the following in very small type: "Made from milk from cows not treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone. According to the FDA, no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBGH-treated and non-treated cows."
Wait, what? So is it or isn't it good for you? The milk doesn't have it, but even if it did, that would be OK? Anyone who has worked in business for more than 10 minutes will be able to smell the distinctive scent of lawyers in that statement.
First, some background. Bovine somatotropin (BST), also known as bovine growth hormone (BGH), is a protein hormone that occurs naturally in cattle, playing a role in the cow's growth and development (all mammals, including humans, have some variant of it).
Let's have a quick lesson about cows.
A typical cow's lactation period is a cycle that rises, peaks and falls. When she starts lactating, she produces a modest, but increasing, amount of milk. Her output increases until about day 70 of the cycle, when production peaks. After that, her production slowly decreases. The reason is that the number of milk-producing cells in her udder begins to drop. Once her lactation decreases and she goes "dry," she doesn't produce milk again until the next lactation cycle starts.
Back in 1937, someone discovered that by injecting lactating cows with bovine somatotropin derived from dead cows, you could postpone the decline of milk producing cells, prolonging the cow's lactation period. But injecting anything with cells from a corpse and trying to resell it as food usually doesn't go down well with health authorities, so the discovery was little more than a tidbit of academic interest.
Fast-forward to 1994, and agribusiness giant Monsanto was able to artificially synthesized BST using recombinant DNA technology (interestingly enough, by genetically engineering the E. coli bacteria). The resulting product, recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rBST) or recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), was branded as the drug Posilac and revolutionized dairy farming. Cows injected with it gave 10 percent or more milk than untreated cows by slowing down death of milk-producing cells.
Not everyone was happy about it, though, including the cows.
Early studies showed that the use of rBST increased the levels of the insulin-like hormone IGF-1 in milk. IGF-1 is naturally occurring in humans (it stimulates growth in children), but environmental exposure to additional IGF-1 (drunk in milk, for example) has been conclusively linked to a number of human health problems, including hormone-based cancers.
A number of dairy farmers elected not to use Posilac. From the time it went on the market, usage was generally linked to the size of the dairy farm. According a 2007 survey by the USDA, only 9.1 percent of dairy farms with less than 100 cows used rBGH, compared to 28.8 percent of farms with 100 to 499 cows and 42.7 percent of farms with more than 500 cows. In essence, large dairy farms were more than four times as likely to use the stuff.
Smaller farms and organic farms, spotting a marketing niche, began to advertise their milk as coming from cows untreated with rBST/rBGH. Monsanto, sensing that such advertising might lead consumers to conclude that their drug led to negative health consequences, immediately set forth a team of lawyers (remember the lawyers?) to try and smack down the labeling. Oakhurst Dairy in Maine, one of the first to begin using the rBST-free labeling, was an early target. In 2003, Monsanto sued Oakhurst Dairy for advertising that its milk products came from cows untreated with rBST. The president of Oakhurst responded by saying, "We ought to have the right to let people know what is and is not in our milk."
Some courts disagreed with that assessment. Eventually, Oakhurst and Monsanto settled out of court, with Oakhurst adding the note at the end of the claim that " the FDA claims there is no major difference between milk from rbST-treated and non rBST-treated cows." Thousands of other non-rbST dairies followed suit using the same language in order to avoid the hairy legal eyeball of Monsanto, and it became standard language on many hormone-free dairy products.
As of today, the United States is the only developed nation in the world to allow humans to consume dairy product from cows treated with rBST. Posilac has been banned from use in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and all European Union countries, seriously curtailing the U.S. export of dairy products to those countries.
Human health risks aside, Posilac is also not very good for cows. One study showed that while it does indeed increase milk output in cows, rBGH raises the risk of mastitis (an infection of the milk ducts) by 25 percent, decreases a cow's fertility by as much as 40 percent and ups the cow's risk of developing "lameness" (which can mean hoof problems or issues with back and leg muscles) by 55 percent. The same study reported a decrease in body condition of cows treated with rBST.
The health risks to cows are no deep, dark secret. The product labeling on Posilac reads, "Cows injected with Posilac are at an increased risk for clinical mastitis (visibly abnormal milk)…In some herds, use of Posilac has been associated with increases in somatic cell counts [pus and bacteria]. Cows injected with Posilac may experience periods of increased body temperature unrelated to illness… Use of Posilac may result in an increase in digestive disorders such as indigestion, bloat and diarrhea…Studies indicated that cows injected with Posilac had increased numbers of enlarged hocks and lesions (e.g., lacerations, enlargements, calluses) of the knee…and…of the foot region."
Wait…pus? Yum. Nothing makes a bowl of ice cream tastier than a little pus. Instead of ceasing to use the stuff, however, many farms merely treated the cow's resulting infections (and the pus) by administering antibiotics. You don't need an expert to tell you that consuming antibiotics you don't need, even in trace amounts, isn't good for you or for public health.
Meanwhile, Monsanto's lawyers were busy with the companies advertising rBGH-free milk. Wrote Tom Laskawy on the Web site Grist.org, "In 2007, Monsanto, which created and manufactured Posilac, the most popular form of rBST, began encouraging its dairy-farmer customers to protest their rBGH-free competitors' labeling. Campaigns to restrict rBGH-free labeling were launched in 14 states…but only Ohio passed the effort."
Those with a commercial interest in making and using rBGH have lobbied hard and even played dirty to keep it out of consumer's cross-hairs. In 1997, Jane Akre, a journalist for a Fox News affiliate in Florida, WTVT, refused to falsify a news report about the health risks of rBGH (she had planned to present credible studies pointing to human health risks from the hormone). As a result, she was fired from her position – Monsanto apparently called the president of Fox News Channel, Roger Ailes – and the planned report was pulled. Akre sued and won, in part, though the decision was overturned on appeal. WTVT successfully argued that the FCC policy against falsification was not a "law, rule, or regulation," just a guideline. In other words, the FOX affiliate station proved in court that it was entitled, under First Amendment rights, to lie about the human health effects of something millions of Americans consume each day.
This story and others, however, caught public attention, and the column inches condemning both Monsanto and rBGH began to build. Seeing public opinion increasingly against them, Monsanto cut its losses and sold Posilac to a subsidiary of Eli Lilly in 2008.
Meanwhile, Ohio farmers were still legally restricted from advertising rBGH-free milk for another two years until sanity prevailed in the form of a legal appeal by farmers who didn't use the stuff. In September 2010, the U.S. court of appeal found, after examining a number of studies, that despite FDA claims, there IS a "compositional difference" between milk from rBSG-treated cows and untreated milk. In striking down Ohio's ban on labeling, the court offered three reasons why the milk is different, including:
- Increased levels of the insulin-like hormone IGF-1, which is known to cause some cancers;
- Lower nutritional quality of the milk during some stages of lactation; and
- Increased somatic cell counts (a fancy word for "the milk contains pus") that cause the milk to turn sour faster.
As a result of this ruling, dairy farms in Ohio that wish to advertise that their products are "rBGH/rBST-free" and "artificial hormone free" are now legally able to do so. Artificial hormone-free dairy farms in other states, as well, felt comfortable dropping the weasel words about the FDA finding no difference between milk produced with and without on product labeling.
The really problematic compound in treated milk, IGF-1, doesn't survive digestion, the FDA had initially claimed. Some studies done in the 1990s appeared to say otherwise: after all, milk does "coat" the digestive track, and this protective action can render the digestive acids less effective (this is why many medications advise "do not take with milk"), enabling more than enough of the substance to go systemic in humans. Increased IGF-1 has been found to raise risks of many kinds of hormone-linked cancers, including prostate and pre-menopausal breast cancers.
But it's neither law nor health studies that have tipped the balance against rBST: it was consumer preference leading to good old-fashioned market pressure. (Ohio's ban on labeling milk free of growth hormones outraged a lot of people.) Thanks to consumer awareness and demand, approximately 60 percent of milk sold in the U.S. today is rBST-free (though some estimates say as much as 75 percent is free of it), labeled or not, according to the Center for Food Safety. That still leaves a lot of milk treated with rBST in the food chain, and even more yogurt, cheese and ice cream from treated cows. (Most major brands of ice cream in the U.S., except for
Ben & Jerry's, are made with milk from treated cows.)
Prefer your milk without the pus, antibiotics and hormone-linked cancer risks? Buy organic, or check the labels first. The cows will thank you.

LONG LAKE - Chase Axinn sat at his workbench recently, slowly grinding a slab of high-grade steel.
"I make a knife that a guy can hand down to his grandchildren in a hundred years," he said as he worked. "My knives start as just bars of steel and I spend around 100 hours working them down into shape."
Like countless other area entrepreneurs, Axinn manufactures goods in the Adirondacks, and a local push by government officials seeks to back
his efforts.
The Adirondack Park Agency, the Adirondack North Country Association and many local governments are now developing a "Made in the Adirondacks" logo that officials say will tap the huge marketing potential of the region.
"The park is a world-renowned entity," APA Special Assistant for Economic Affairs Steve Erman said April 29. "There is huge marketing potential for local businesses - we feel there has to be some kind of brand for the entire park."
Although no design has been presented yet, officials said that the "Made in the Adirondacks" logo would increase the desirability of locally made products and level the playing field for businesses who are paired against cheaper foreign competition.
"The brand is nationally recognizable," Erman said. "This would work to not only strengthen current businesses, but to bring more businesses in - people want to live here for the quality of life, and we just have to show that business can be conducted here."
Erman said that the entities involved in the project are currently seeking seed money from the state.
There are a total of eight APA-sanctioned business parks in the Adirondacks - six in Essex County and two in Franklin County - and only one is without any development.
"Every structure in a business park is occupied," Erman said. "We need to move as quickly as we can on this."
Local government officials are also jumping on board with the concept, saying that the logo could greatly strengthen existing businesses while attracting new ones.
"Having an insignia that would advertise our local manufacturers would be good for everyone," Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said.
For Axinn, it seems like a good idea as well.
"I would inscribe it on my knives," he said. "It certainly would go a long way in changing my feelings about the APA, too."

Kobra attacked his mane making it go all over his face. "Better?" He asked, deadly serious.
"Ha ha, no! I love Jedward"
"Fudge..." He said to himself, trying to get it back to his miniture quiff
"He's pretty hopeless, isn't he?" I told Party
"Yeah, poor kid. He tries though" There was a pause. "I dont know how come though. His brother, me" He smirked, pointing to himself "Is great with the ladies"
"Pur-lease! I shoved him in the chest, my hand staying on his body longer than intended.
"I'll prove it" He smoothed his hair back in an identical way to how Kobra did earlier. "'Sup?"
I laughed. "Uh, the sky"
"Smart ass bitch"
"Thats no way to womanise!"
"Shut up" We walked in silence for a bit then he grabbed my hand. I looked at him. "So...what's your starsign?" I hit him on the head with my free palm. "That usually works" He mumbled, rubbing the top of his skull, messing his hair up in the process.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" Heart was the first to notice and she rushed to Grace's side.
"Jesus!" Ghoul joined Heart and checked Grace's pulse. "She's breathing, no worries!" He raised his hands in the air to signal she was fine.
"Or maybe we should worry because there is a small pool of blood under her head" Electric started to panic but Kobra held her shaking shoulders still. Electric Arsenic was terrified of blood.
Demolition Heart wasn't the sharpest tool in the box but she was a good medic. She took off her scarf and used it as a bandage for Grace's wound. Ghoul propped the unconcious girl up to a sitting postion as she slowly opened her eyes. Grace screamed.

On the long run effect of public capital on aggregate output: Estimation and sensitivity analysis
AbstractWe undertake a sensitivity analysis of the productivity of public capital under the aggregate production function approach. Several proxies are used for the private inputs and for public capital, several dummy variables are included to adjust for energy price shocks, newly revised data is studied, and Stock and Watson's dynamic OLS estimator is used. Our main results are that the productivity of public capital depends critically on the proxies used, the effects are typically smaller than the early estimates, and omitting the oil price shocks introduces significant upward bias in the measured productivity of public capital.

10 sneaky car dealer tricks
Here are some tricks of the trade -- some more devious than others -- that you might encounter when you shop for a car.
This post comes from Angela Colley at partner site Money Talks News.
The first time I bought a car, I got ripped off. I traded in my car for less than it was worth, bought a clunker for more than I should have, and got talked into a $950 warranty to cover rust as I was finalizing the paperwork.
The salesman saw me coming and pulled out every trick in the book -- from saying my credit wasn't good enough to tacking on "mandatory charges" during the final sale.
Dealers want to talk payments; you need to talk price. For example, the last dealer I met asked me how much I could afford to pay a month. When I didn't answer, he offered a "great deal" at $385 a month. He never mentioned the total price of the car or the length of the loan.
By focusing on payments and not price, it's easy to trick consumer into thinking they're getting good deals. Steer the conversation to the total price, and let the payments take care of themselves.
2. Loans
A dealership can make as much money on the loan as it can on the car, which is something it's not likely to disclose. Instead, the salesman will make it seem that he's doing you a favor by getting you a great interest rate -- or getting you a loan at all.
Don't fall for it. Financing is big business for dealers, and you're not winning a prize when they get you a loan.
Step One in any purchase that requires a loan is to secure financing. Never head to the lot without first shopping for -- and getting preapproved for -- a loan. Use online auto rate searches and talk to banks and credit unions to find the best rate. Then apply and get approved. This serves two functions: You won't overpay for dealer financing, and you'll be ready to pull the trigger when you find the perfect ride.
3. Bait-and-switch advertising
Bait-and-switch gets you in the door by advertising a super deal on a car, but switching you to another, lesser deal when you show up.
Read the fine print before you go to the dealership. If you're not sure, call ahead.
4. High-pressure tactics
The salesman's goal is to close the sale today, and he'll try any number of sales tactics to make it happen. My personal favorite: Insisting the car won't be there tomorrow.
Don't bite. If you feel uncomfortable or unsure of any decision, ask to speak to someone else or just walk away. Keep looking until you find someone you can work with.
5. Extras that add up
Car salesmen work on commission, and the more you pay, the more they make. One way to increase the sale price is by adding on extras, like wheel and tire protection, a warranty extension or rust protection. To help sell you on these, the salesman will break them down to the total price per month. For example, when I bought rust protection, the dealer told me it was a "great service for only $25 a month." I ended up paying $900 over three years for something I didn't understand or even know how to use.
If you're trading in your current car, know its value. These sites can help:
Also, check eBay to see what cars like yours are selling for in your area.
If you're trading in, don't expect any dealer to offer your car's retail value. To get maximum value for your car, sell it yourself.
7. Manufacturer's suggested price
The "manufacturer's suggested price" is often used to make a deal sound better. For example, if the manufacturer's suggested price is $35,000, but the dealer is asking only $32,000, you might think, "Hey! I'm already getting $3,000 off and we haven't even started negotiating."
Sites like KBB.com can tell you what people are actually paying for specific models.
8. Your credit score
When I was buying my first car, the dealer pulled my credit report and told me my credit wasn't that grea,t but that he'd be willing to work with me. I felt a sense of relief, thinking, "At least I'm getting a loan." I later found that my scores were fine and that I could have gotten a better interest rate elsewhere.
You can get your credit scores for a fee at the websites of Equifax, Experian and TransUnion or from myFICO. If you find that your scores are low, improve them before you apply for a loan.
9. Negotiations
Buying a car isn't one big transaction; it is actually three smaller ones: getting financing, pricing the trade-in and buying the car. I didn't realize this when I went to the dealership alone for the first time. Rather than look at each piece, I looked at the total cost and thought, "OK, I can afford this."
Negotiate each part separately to get the best deal.
10. Mechanical issues
Don't take the dealer's word for the condition of a used car. Never buy any car from any source without first taking it to an independent mechanic for an unbiased inspection.

Most of this article and most people's opinions on car buying stem from the way it was 20 years ago. Every consumer can now search the internet to find out what they should pay for a car, what they can expect for their trade, and what kind of rates are being offered. For some reason, the automobile industry is the only one where consumers consider dealer profit to be some sort of evil. When most purchase a house, they don't do research to see how much profit the builder is making or how much the loan officer makes on their mortgage. Even worse, try shopping for a diamond where the markup percentage is in the thousands! Anyone can get a good deal by doing a little bit of research and don't be surprised if the dealer feels the need to make enough money to pay the operating costs and make a profit like any other business.
Never buy a used car from a Dealer... Individuals... they are easier to read and its cheaper,but always do research to make sure the Car was built right and has a History of reliability and low Maintance costs (very important)..and crash tests.....Carfax it if it passes and its clean .....your done... that simple

How do you do that? I'm curious to know how you get motivated to reach your goals and get results.
What works for you when you need motivation?
JK Rowling eloquently speaks of failures enabling her discovery of what she was truly meant to be.
Neil Pasricha speaks warmly of his personal forward movement in life being attributed to The 3 A's of Awesome: Attutude Awareness Authenticity.
Elizabeth Gilbert speaks beautifully of having the sheer human love and stubbornness to just keep showing up.
Dan Pink expertly informs us that the carrot and stick have no place in business 2012 and although Dan has an excellent point regarding creativity being dampened by rewards and consequences in the workplace, the ways of harnessing personal motivation is still to this day comparable to the world of the good old donkey.
So I wonder; How do you do that?
If you'd care to read http://simoncaira.blogspot.co.uk/#!/2012/04/motivation.html
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jody MakApr 15 2012: failures --> realizing that you're doing something wrong --> do the right thing. = motivation?
personal forward movement --> attitude, awareness, authenticity --> do the right thing. = motivation?
awareness= thinking about what is right and what is not?
authenticity = being true to oneself? in other words, being right to oneself?
attitude= reflection of awareness?
having human love --> doing the right thing in her mind? = motivation?
rewards and consequences --> do the right thing to get the reward. = motivation?
So really, I think you have to understand ethics in order to be motivated. What is "right" though? You have to come up with what is right by yourself. People may persuade you into thinking something is right. But once you find what is "right" by your own logic, you will do the right thing, and therefore be motivated. That's my analysis at face value based on what you have given.
In response to other people talking about passion. I think that's what passion really is. Finding out what is right in your own mind.

Delicious! I'm a huge greek yogurt fan, but was growing a little tired of just plain yogurt. These are a perfect combo of high protein greek yogurt, plus a serving of whole grain, and fruit - and I love the texure the grain gives to the parfait! (I couldn't find grano - even at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's - so I used pearled barley instead per the recipe's suggestion). I packed these in small containers so I could pack the parfait in my lunchbox to make these an easy "to-go" breakfast.

While watching several soccer matches either live or on TV, you might have noticed the fact that the game sometimes seems loose, whereas other times it feels like the players are all chunked in with little distances between them.
This is due to the fact that the stadiums the matches were played on, all had different soccer field layouts as FIFA doesn't restrict them to a particular size (although official rules state the at the soccer field dimensions must be contained in some standard limits).
Different soccer field sizes can affect a lot of factors, including entertainment value, stadium capacity and most importantly, the tactics and the formation a team will choose. Before seeing exactly how these elements are affected by the soccer field layout, let me start by giving you the exact rules and soccer field dimensions that are set as standard by FIFA.
The standard soccer field measurement limits changed over time, adapting to the particular period of time they applied to. With the rise in popularity of soccer and the increasing number of live spectators to each match, the upper width and length limits were also raised, allowing for bigger stadiums and better entertainment. In 2007, the minimum and maximum values for soccer field sizes are:
Minimum length: 100 yards (90 meters)
Maximum length: 130 yards (120 meters)
Minimum width: 50 yards (45 meters)
Maximum width: 100 yards (90 meters)
Although these sizes apply for local matches, there is a slight adjustment in the field layout when it comes to international matches:
International match minimum length: 110 yards (100 meters)
International match maximum length: 120 yards (110 meters)
International match minimum width: 70 yards (64 meters)
International match maximum width: 80 yards (75 meters)
As you can see, in a local match, the minimum length is the same as the maximum width (100 yards). This is a bit contradictory, as FIFA clearly states that the soccer field must be of rectangular shape, however it's not really a problem, since no one ever tried to test these limits by creating a square field layout (that would be silly at best). But let's move on to see how the soccer field measurements affect the game itself:
Soccer Field Layout and Size related to Stadium Capacity
Obviously, the bigger the soccer field, the larger the stadium surrounding it. Visibility is also a factor, as you don't want your spectators to be too far away from the pitch (if they wanted to watch the game from a distance, they would have stayed home and watched TV) so if you have a smaller soccer field, you'll need to build the stands even closer.
Soccer Field Layout and Size Related to Entertainment Value
This factor really depends on what you believe to be "entertaining". Some fans prefer a smaller layout which would allow for a faster game, potentially more opportunities and it would give the more technical players an advantage over fast runners. On the other hand, some will prefer a longer and wider soccer field in order to fully allow the game to stretch out. This favors fast and enduring players that can make their move in the big chunks of empty field behind the opposing team.
Soccer Field Layout and Size Related to Tactics and Formation
The main element of a soccer field that affects tactics and formation is its width. Obviously, if the field is wider, wing gameplay can be emphasized. This leads to formations that are heavily reliant on their wingers, with tactics that require a lot of crosses in favor to direct center plays and heavy workload from those playing on the sides.

Critical Essay by Walter L. Hixson
SOURCE: "Red Storm Rising: Tom Clancy Novels and the Cult of National Security," in Diplomatic History, Vol. 17, No. 4, Fall, 1993, pp. 599-613.
In the following essay, Hixson examines the cultural significance of American jingoism and the glorification of advanced weaponry in The Hunt for Red October, Red Storm Rising, and The Cardinal of the Kremlin. According to Hixson, Clancy's novels "can be interpreted as popular representations of Reagan-era Cold War values."
They're not just novels. They're read as the real thing.

Please all book readers just have a quick look here.
There is this book series in Norway that was written by Rubben Eliassen. The name of the series was/is Phenomena.
It was my first love when it came to book series.
I started reading it in 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade (I honestly can't remember) and even though I have still to read the last book, it's definitively one of my favorite series (if not THE fave)
The series consists of seven books, plus 12 other mini books about two of the minor characters.
It's being made into a movie in Hollywood. (Which I think is kind of dumb, it's Norwegian I just wished it could be made in Norway. But I guess it would be better when made in Hollywood)
Anyway that's not what this post is about, 'cause even though I haven't read the 7th book yet (I will go to the library this weekend to get it) I have understood that something happens to Ilke the main female character, and that her brother Alk thinks she is dead, but she's not. And the author have said he won't continue the series.
But a while ago he said that if this FB: http://www.facebook.com/phenomena.no
gets 3000 likes, he will continue writing something for the series so that we know what happens to Ilke.
I think he already have written something, at least there are some pictures on the FB site that says Phenomena 8 and Phenomena 9 in Word documents.
I really want this series to get a "nicer" ending, and if it takes a follow I will follow if you like the page!
So please, please this ending is for us fans as the Harry Potter fans would have it if the book ended in the middle of the duel between Harry and Voldemort or straight after and you didn't get to know what happened after.
Or if J.R.R Tolkien stopped the Lord of the Rings after Sam and Frodo threw the ring into the flames, and you didn't know who lived or died.
So I'm begging please, please like the page and help a book reader with a love for a series.
hey everyone! you might have noticed a few confessions appeared today, and I'm trying and hoping (FINGERS CROSSED) that I don't get so busy that I can't do confessions regularly again. Got some queued up for this week, but feel free to submit more confessions :3
