The famous Lebanese artist Haifa Wehbe said the Egyptian actress Ghada Abed Al Razeq is only jealous of her. Haifa said, “I feel sorry for Ghadas jealously and the comparisons she made between our age and our fame are strange.” The dispute between the two stars began after Ghada said that if she had starred as the character “Baysah” in film “Dukan Shahateh” (Shahatehs Supermarket) she would have mastered the role better than Haifa. Haifa said that Baysahs face is innocent and childlike unlike, Ghada.

PEOPLE who are terrified of the dentist could be helped by acupuncture. Research out today suggests five minutes of acupuncture treatment in the top of the head cuts anxiety levels by more than half. The small study was on 16 men and four women, with an average age of 40, who had all suffered from fear of the dentist for between two and 30 years. The patients came from eight different dental practices in the UK and received the acupuncture from their dentists, who are all members of the British Dental Acupuncture Society. The patients levels of distress were measured using a well-known anxiety reporting scheme, the Beck Anxiety Inventory.
When it comes to anti-ageing, whitening toothpaste may be a better buy than fancy face creams. Experts agree unsightly teeth can age you by more than 10 years. In one study 2,000 people were shown photos of a woman – one with white teeth and another with artificially stained teeth. People shown the picture with gleaming teeth estimated she was 31, those shown the other photo guessed her as 44. Its no surprise then that its the first thing celebs invest in when they hit the big time.

By Alan Suderman Montgomery County is making more than $1 million a year from fees for drivers who dont pay their speed camera tickets on time. The county estimates it will collect $1.1 million in late fees this fiscal year, 256 percent more than $309,000 it originally budgeted. Drivers dinged with a $40 speed camera ticket have 30 days to pay or contest the ticket before being charged a $25 late fee.

INTRODUCTION Reactive oxygen species (ROS) include superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide and derivative hydroxyl radical and hydroxide, and lipid peroxides and derivatives peroxyl radicals (Nappi and Vass, 1998). Under normal circumstances, abundant antioxidant enzymes (e.g., superoxide dismutases and glutathione peroxidases) metabolize these highly reactive derivatives of normal oxidative metabolism. If ROS were not removed in a timely manner by an antioxidant system, an imbalance between free radical generation and removal would lead to oxidative stress. Mammalian cells may encounter oxidative stresses that cause destruction of macromolecules and abnormal function (Jang et al., 2008). The flux of ROS increasing in the vasculature will lead to the initiation and promotion of various human pathological conditions (Loscalzo, 2004; Yang, 2006). Diquat is a moderately toxic chemical that utilizes molecular oxygen to produce superoxide anion radical and subsequently hydrogen peroxide. Diquat does not bind covalently with biological molecules but stimulates cellular production of ROS by undergoing cyclic reduction-oxidation processes (Spalding et al., 1989). The oral half lethal dose (LD50) for diquat in rats is 120 mg/kg. Studies on wild-type mice found that intraperitoneal injection, at one-tenth of LD50, could induce oxidation stress and couldnt kill the animal (Fu et al., 1999). Liang et al. (2007) used the model of diquat (50 mg/kg BW) to study the effect of glutathione peroxidase 4 on against oxidative stress in mice. Our group has established a model for oxidative stress of weaned pigs via administration of diquat at the dose of 12 mg/kg BW. The activities of antioxidant enzymes were decreased for all the diquat-treated pigs (Yuan et al., 2007). Arginine is a basic amino acid and serves as an essential precursor for the synthesis of biologically important molecules such as protein, ornithine, proline, polyamines, creatinine, nitric oxide and agmatine (Wu and Morris, 1998). Although most mammals synthesize arginine (except for cats and ferrets), it is a nutritionally essential amino acid for young mammals and adults during times of stress and illness (Wu et al., 1997). Many researchers have studied arginine transport and metabolism in a wide variety of catabolic states, including sepsis, burn injury, acidosis, and cancer and these studies have shown that arginine transport activity was increased (Pacitti et al., 1992; Inoue and Souba, 1993; Inoue et al., 1994; Rafferty et al., 1994; Pan et al., 2001; Pan et al., 2004). Arginine levels in plasma were markedly reduced in patients with sepsis and pig model of sepsis (Luiking et al., 2004). Thus regulation of arginine homoeostasis, which depends on dietary arginine intake, whole-body protein turnover, arginine synthesis and catabolism, is of considerable nutritional and physiological significance. It is now know that arginine plays important roles in many diverse processes, including vasodilation, diseases and stresses. However, little is known about the alterations of arginine metabolism during oxidative stress in pigs. A better knowledge of these alterations may help in proposing a new nutritional strategy to alleviate such stress. In the present study, we will evaluate the effect of diquat-induced oxidative stress on arginine metabolism in piglets through examining the transporter, enzymes and metabolites of anabolism and catabolism of arginine.

The premise that TB-infected badgers have nothing to do with the incidence of cattle that react to routine tests for the disease is now so thoroughly rubbished that only a few diehards like Martin Hancox still cling to the idea. However, Mr Hancox undermines his own argument by quoting the Krebs report finding that culling badgers is not cost effective. The effectiveness was reduced and the costs escalated thanks in no small part to the so called “badger lovers” who released trapped badgers and damaged or stole the traps. We all know who paid the wages of the operatives whose work was undermined, and who paid for the repair or replacement of the damaged or stolen traps. Yes, the same people that pay for the repeated testing of herds in the affected areas, pay for the animals that are slaughtered as reactors, and, of course, pay the salaries of all the committees, inquiries and studies that politicians hide behind while not addressing the problem.

Congressional Democrats, after passing a highly controversial health care reform bill, said they would ensure midterm election victories by casting their action as a moral imperative. Thus, they have declared themselves Americas moral leaders. Are they kidding? Even without debating the merits of their legislation, there are many questions about whether Democrats are high-ground travelers. Local and national advocates have pleaded, protested and, at times, groveled before President Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to give the Districts congressional representative full voting rights in the House. While the Senate voted last year 61 to 37 to provide residents in the nations capital the same right as those in the 50 states, Democrats in the House have yet to consider the bill. “We are a little dismayed that the measure has not moved in the House,” said Eugene Dewitt Kinlow, public affairs director for D.C. Vote, a nonprofit group that advocates for voting rights. He said now that health care reform has been approved, the organization “wants to urge [Democrats] to feel empowered in their moral imperative by taking up this issue.”

INTRODUCTION Fat deposition of pigs is of economic importance because of market incentives for lean pork production and decreased feeding costs. It is crucial to investigate and characterize new candidate genes and QTL relevant to pig fat deposit traits. To date, several quantitative trait loci (QTL) significantly affecting 10th-rib, average backfat thickness and other production traits have been mapped on SSC7 (Wang et al., 1998; Nagamine et al., 2003). Peroxisomal [[DELTA].sup.3],[[DELTA].sup.2]-enoyl-CoA isomerase (PECI) was located near the boundary of the quantitative trait loci (QTL) region. [[DELTA].sup.3],[[DELTA].sup.2]-enoyl-CoA isomerase (Ecilp) is unique because its activity is necessary for [beta]-oxidation of all unsaturated fatty acids (Geisbrecht et al., 1999). The series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions required for degradation of fatty acids are evolutionarily conserved and accomplished primarily through the p-oxidation pathway. In peroxisomes, ECI was predicted to be a dominant enzyme for 3-cis 3[right arrow]2-trans and 3-trans 3[right arrow]2-trans isomerizations of long-chain intermediates (Zhang et al., 2002). Fatty acid [beta]-oxidation in mammals is considerably more complicated, primarily due to the existence of overlapping but distinct fatty acid poxidation pathways. Mammalian peroxisomes contain at least three fatty acyl-CoA oxidases, both L-specific and D-specific 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase multifunctional proteins, and at least two thiolases, all of which are encoded by different genes (Palosaari et al., 1990a, 1991; Geisbrecht et al., 1998; Gurvitz et al., 1998; Geisbrecht et al., 1999; Partanen et al., 2004). When the ECI was completely excised in the mouse, it extensively perturbed the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids, especially for short interval starvation and the fatty acid pattern of complex phospholipids was strongly altered (Palosaari et al., 1990b; Janssen et al., 2002). The PECI gene can be encoded by ECI1 and it is required for growth of saccharomyces cerevisiae on unsaturated fatty acids (Gurvitz et al., 1998). It can be concluded that the PECI gene may play an important role during the metabolic processing of unsaturated fatty acids. Deposition of fat by animals in their bodies is associated with the metabolism of fatty acids, and more research would contribute to understanding of porcine fat deposition. Genomic DNA was isolated from blood of mature Tongcheng pigs (Hubei province, China) by phenol/chloroform extraction. RNA was extracted from muscle tissue of adult Tongcheng pigs and adult Swedish Landrace with TRIzol reagent kit (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NE, USA). RACE (the rapid amplification of cDNA ends) was performed according to the instructions of the SMARTTM RACE cDNA Amplification Kit (Clontech Inc, Palo Alto, CA, USA). The PCR products of RACE were purified with the Wizard PCR Preps DNA Purification System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). ORF were found by the program SeqMan (DNA star, Madison, WI, USA) and the amino acid sequences were deduced with Primer5.0 (Primer Premier5.0, Premier, Canada). Using the pGEM T-easy vector, DNase I (RNase-free) and M-MLV reverse transcriptase from TaKaRa Dalian (Dalian, China), primers were synthesized (Table 1) and PCR products were sequenced by AuGCT Biotechnology (Bejing, China).

KUALA LUMPUR: An assistant enforcement officer with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission told the Sessions Court that he took four hours to count and cross-refer RM256,400 in marked notes which belonged to the then Anti-Corruption Agency. Ahmad Zaidi Yusof said this yesterday at the trial of former Immigration director-general Datuk Wahid Md Don who is charged with corruption. When questioned later in the afternoon, he said that the marked notes were photocopied by other MACC officers who were ordered to help him that day at their headquarters in Putrajaya. He said the checking of the notes was done together with another MACC officer Mohd Haziman Mahmood and businessman Datuk Zulkafli Maulud. Zaidi also said that he would not have been able to complete his task of checking the marked notes if other MACC officers were not roped in to help out.
THE CATHOLIC Church can never recover as long as its Holy Shepherd is seen as a black sheep in the ever-darkening sex abuse scandal. Now we learn the sickening news that then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, formerly the churchs enforcer on matters of faith and sin, ignored repeated warnings and looked away in the case of the Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy, a Wisconsin priest who molested as many as 200 deaf boys. “Victims give similar accounts of Father Murphys pulling down their pants and touching them in his office, his car, his mothers country house, on class excursions and fundraising trips and in their dormitory beds at night,” Goodstein wrote. “Arthur Budzinski said he was first molested when he went to Father Murphy for confession when he was about 12, in 1960.” It was only when the sanctity of the confessional was breached that an archbishop in Wisconsin (who later had to resign when it turned out he used church money to pay off a male lover) wrote to Ratzinger at the Vatican to request that Murphy be defrocked.
AS reported in the Daily Post on March 24, business leaders in North Wales are arguing that greater use of the Welsh language in the private sector should be encouraged through voluntary schemes, rather than being enforced through the Welsh Assembly Governments Proposed Measure on the Welsh Language. Voluntary schemes of this kind, including specific measures such as grants for bilingual signage, have in fact been in operation since the Assembly was set up, and indeed since the days of the old Welsh Office. Take-up by business, though, has been very limited. It is the business communitys own inaction in relation to the Welsh language that has led to the conclusion that the only way to move the matter forward in the private sector is by imposing enforceable duties on certain types of business.

When Congress debated whether to create a new government-run health insurance option, critics argued that the program would be fiscally unsound and that it would push private insurers out of the market. An experiment with government-run property insurance suggests that both fears may be warranted. In hurricane-prone Florida, some residents found it difficult to purchase homeowners insurance after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Because of rate regulations, insurers were hesitant to offer them policies, so the state began to sell coverage as well. Despite plans to keep the public options rates higher than those charged by private insurers, thus making the state the insurer of last resort, political pressure resulted in subsidized rates that made the public plan competitive with its private counterparts. Eventually 30 percent of the states residents ended up on its rolls–a serious problem given that several analysts, including State Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty, believe the plan does not have the reserve funds to pay for a major hurricane.

The answer to the latter is in little dispute. It is “no.” An executive order cannot override a statute. As to the funding issue, well, its intentionally complicated. Suffice to say, it shouldnt be. Defenders argue that: (1) nowhere does the health care bill say funds will go toward abortion; (2) the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for abortion, applies. No one should apologize for being confused . If not for the patient tutoring of dozens of brilliant lawyers, Capitol Hill staffers, medical experts and others, I would be in a fetal curl alternately muttering “Whos Jacob?” and “Ibid, Subsection C (1)(a).”
Attorney general should not sue over health care Re: Cuccinelli goes alone on health care suit,” March 24 What Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is doing is an absolute outrage. I strongly believe that everyone has the right to health care insurance, and he is making life miserable for all of us based on his own political agenda. If Cuccinelli can file this kind of lawsuit with the U.S. District Court, then I have the right to file a lawsuit charging him with violating my right to health care.

COLERAINE winger Stephen Dooleys talent came of age at Windsor Park on Saturday. The 18-year-old, whose ruddy cheeks and youthful looks bely a growing maturity on the pitch, was captivatingly good in the Co- Operative Insurance Cup final. Pace. Guile. Invention. And courage to take on the full-back. Boss David Platt was right to declare that the game shifted further in Glentorans favour when the teenager was forced to retire in the second-half with a hamstring injury. “He certainly showed what a talent he is,” declared Platt.
When Congress debated whether to create a new government-run health insurance option, critics argued that the program would be fiscally unsound and that it would push private insurers out of the market. An experiment with government-run property insurance suggests that both fears may be warranted. In hurricane-prone Florida, some residents found it difficult to purchase homeowners insurance after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Because of rate regulations, insurers were hesitant to offer them policies, so the state began to sell coverage as well. Despite plans to keep the public options rates higher than those charged by private insurers, thus making the state the insurer of last resort, political pressure resulted in subsidized rates that made the public plan competitive with its private counterparts. Eventually 30 percent of the states residents ended up on its rolls–a serious problem given that several analysts, including State Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty, believe the plan does not have the reserve funds to pay for a major hurricane.

INTRODUCTION Fat deposition of pigs is of economic importance because of market incentives for lean pork production and decreased feeding costs. It is crucial to investigate and characterize new candidate genes and QTL relevant to pig fat deposit traits. To date, several quantitative trait loci (QTL) significantly affecting 10th-rib, average backfat thickness and other production traits have been mapped on SSC7 (Wang et al., 1998; Nagamine et al., 2003). Peroxisomal [[DELTA].sup.3],[[DELTA].sup.2]-enoyl-CoA isomerase (PECI) was located near the boundary of the quantitative trait loci (QTL) region. [[DELTA].sup.3],[[DELTA].sup.2]-enoyl-CoA isomerase (Ecilp) is unique because its activity is necessary for [beta]-oxidation of all unsaturated fatty acids (Geisbrecht et al., 1999). The series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions required for degradation of fatty acids are evolutionarily conserved and accomplished primarily through the p-oxidation pathway. In peroxisomes, ECI was predicted to be a dominant enzyme for 3-cis 3[right arrow]2-trans and 3-trans 3[right arrow]2-trans isomerizations of long-chain intermediates (Zhang et al., 2002). Fatty acid [beta]-oxidation in mammals is considerably more complicated, primarily due to the existence of overlapping but distinct fatty acid poxidation pathways. Mammalian peroxisomes contain at least three fatty acyl-CoA oxidases, both L-specific and D-specific 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase multifunctional proteins, and at least two thiolases, all of which are encoded by different genes (Palosaari et al., 1990a, 1991; Geisbrecht et al., 1998; Gurvitz et al., 1998; Geisbrecht et al., 1999; Partanen et al., 2004). When the ECI was completely excised in the mouse, it extensively perturbed the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids, especially for short interval starvation and the fatty acid pattern of complex phospholipids was strongly altered (Palosaari et al., 1990b; Janssen et al., 2002). The PECI gene can be encoded by ECI1 and it is required for growth of saccharomyces cerevisiae on unsaturated fatty acids (Gurvitz et al., 1998). It can be concluded that the PECI gene may play an important role during the metabolic processing of unsaturated fatty acids. Deposition of fat by animals in their bodies is associated with the metabolism of fatty acids, and more research would contribute to understanding of porcine fat deposition. Genomic DNA was isolated from blood of mature Tongcheng pigs (Hubei province, China) by phenol/chloroform extraction. RNA was extracted from muscle tissue of adult Tongcheng pigs and adult Swedish Landrace with TRIzol reagent kit (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NE, USA). RACE (the rapid amplification of cDNA ends) was performed according to the instructions of the SMARTTM RACE cDNA Amplification Kit (Clontech Inc, Palo Alto, CA, USA). The PCR products of RACE were purified with the Wizard PCR Preps DNA Purification System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). ORF were found by the program SeqMan (DNA star, Madison, WI, USA) and the amino acid sequences were deduced with Primer5.0 (Primer Premier5.0, Premier, Canada). Using the pGEM T-easy vector, DNase I (RNase-free) and M-MLV reverse transcriptase from TaKaRa Dalian (Dalian, China), primers were synthesized (Table 1) and PCR products were sequenced by AuGCT Biotechnology (Bejing, China).

It was slow, but I was making progress and keeping off what I had lost. The weight continued to come off, and in 2001, I had gotten down to 120 pounds. Many people began asking me if I competed in fitness or bodybuilding, so I decided to give it try. Imagine going from hiding from the camera at family gatherings to getting up onstage in a bikini! In March 2002, I completed in my first bodybuilding contest at age 38, and placed second in novice lightweights and third in masters.

GEORGE Osbornes economic credibility was ripped apart last night as millions watched him crumble under the might of Alistair Darling live on TV. The Shadow Chancellor was branded “irresponsible” and accused of lacking judgement on major issues. Mr Osborne had taken part in the Channel 4 debate in a desperate bid to bolster the dwindling number of people thinking of voting Tory at the election. Mr Osborne said: “We are going to have to take some incredibly difficult decisions as a country, we are all in this together.”

Congressional Democrats, after passing a highly controversial health care reform bill, said they would ensure midterm election victories by casting their action as a moral imperative. Thus, they have declared themselves Americas moral leaders. Are they kidding? Even without debating the merits of their legislation, there are many questions about whether Democrats are high-ground travelers. Local and national advocates have pleaded, protested and, at times, groveled before President Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to give the Districts congressional representative full voting rights in the House. While the Senate voted last year 61 to 37 to provide residents in the nations capital the same right as those in the 50 states, Democrats in the House have yet to consider the bill. “We are a little dismayed that the measure has not moved in the House,” said Eugene Dewitt Kinlow, public affairs director for D.C. Vote, a nonprofit group that advocates for voting rights. He said now that health care reform has been approved, the organization “wants to urge [Democrats] to feel empowered in their moral imperative by taking up this issue.”

INTRODUCTION Pork is a popular meat consumed by non-muslim Singaporeans with about 87,000 tonnes being consumed per year (Kanagalingam, 2005). Currently, Singapore imports its pork from several countries, but Australian and Indonesian pork is consumed most widely due to its ready availability at supermarkets and wet markets. Fresh pork is obtained from pigs raised in Indonesia but slaughtered at Singapore abattoirs, while chilled pork is mainly imported from Australia and is widely known as “Air Pork”. Singaporean consumers are aware of the origin of pork from packaging labels. Results of a recent survey showed that Singapore consumers associate non-Indonesian pork with the presence of an unpleasant mutton-like off-flavour (Leong et al., 2008). One possible cause of off-flavours in pork is by the oxidation of lipids, leading to the formation of aldehydes and short-chain fatty acids (Reindl and Stan, 1982; Devol, et al., 1988). The rate and extent of lipid oxidation depends on a number of factors, the most important being the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in muscle (Allen and Foegeding, 1981). Pork contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids relative to ruminant meat (Enser et al., 1996) and is more susceptible to oxidative deterioration of lipids and myoglobin. Feeding of PUFAs to pigs can improve the nutritional quality of pork, but may also increase the susceptibility to oxidation (Sheard et al., 2000; Kouba et al., 2003; Morel et al., 2006). There have been many reports of PUFA-rich feeds leading to increased lipid oxidation and thus off-flavour in pork (Houben and Krol, 1980; Warnants et al., 1998; Roman et al., 1995; Overland et al., 1996; Leskanich et al., 1997; Wood et al., 2003). There have also been examples of off-flavours in pork arising from the direct transfer of aroma components from feed to meat, including several reports on how feeding of fish oil and high fat fish meal to finisher pigs has caused “fishy” and other off-flavours in pork products (Kjos et al., 1999; Lauridsen et al., 1999; Maw et al., 2001; Jaturasitha et al., 2002). The current paper compares sensory assessments of the flavour of pork from the legs of pigs finished in New Zealand on three diets (Morel et al., 2008) using Singaporean panelists. The objective was to determine the extent to which dietary feed treatments received by the New Zealand pigs influenced the sensory properties of pork using trained and untrained Singaporean panels. Results of sensory analyses of pork from the loins of the same New Zealand pigs using New Zealand panelists were reported by Janz et al. (2008).

AFTER many years of driving (Im in my fifties), and a number of years cycling, I write in defence of those much-maligned drivers, the P- platers. Sure, they are involved in a high percentage of accidents, but thats hardly new. Isnt that why insurance com- panies have had age excesses on policies for years? Sadly those same attributes sometimes cause them to make poor decisions. From my observations they arent alone in making poor decisions. I see many experienced drivers talking on mobiles, speeding, intimidating other road users, or even have a dog sitting on their lap! We will never legislate good behaviour. Lets stop constantly bagging young drivers and instead praise their good behaviour, encourage them when they do the right thing and be reponsible in setting positive examples ourselves.

Ms White, of Grafton, whose car has been written-off after a four- wheel-drive ran up the back of it, is devastated after finding out there is nothing her insurance company can do to help. On Saturday afternoon Ms White was travelling towards Grafton when she stopped her car before a bend to give way to a truck travelling in the opposite direction. It is alleged that a Queensland-registered four-wheel-drive collided with the back of Ms Whites 1999 Peugeot, causing substantial damage. “The other driver is refusing to put a claim in and I only have third party so my insurance company wont chase it up,” Ms White said yesterday.

MOST of us at some time or another have heard an insurance horror story. Finding out that you are under insured or that your cover doesnt cover your damage or loss at all, usually happens at the worst possible time.

A HUGE number of Bundabergs health workers have been left in financial dire straits in the lead-up to Easter after a Queensland Health payroll stuff-up. The blunder, brought about by changes to the payroll system last week, meant about 74,000 Queensland Health staff state-wide, including doctors, nurses and other hospital workers, did not receive their correct pay. And some received no pay at all. Queensland Nurses Union Bundaberg regional organiser Vicki Smyth said a “huge number” of nurses had contacted her late last week looking for help with their pay. “The nurses who have come to us, weve been able to put them in direct contact with someone at Queensland Health and have their pay corrected.”

HAMILTONs aircraft-maker Pacific Aerospace is bidding for a US$60 million (NZ$85m) contract to supply 15 aircraft to the United States Air Force. Pacific Aerospace has teamed up with US military contractor L-3 Platform Integration to pitch its 10-seater P-750 utility aircraft, which is designed to fly from rough, remote airstrips as short as a rugby field. The partnership will enter the P-750 in a US Air Force Mobility Aircraft competition to supply an unarmed aircraft for training, border surveillance, people transport and supply roles in Afghanistan. Pacific Aerospace chief executive Damian Camp said if the contract was won, the order could increase to up to 60 planes and open the door to the exclusive global military market, including a possible tilt at developing the P-750 as pilotless remote control aircraft for high-risk operations.

After 13 years of this government what we found there is now embedded in Browns Britain.

When it comes to anti-ageing, whitening toothpaste may be a better buy than fancy face creams. Experts agree unsightly teeth can age you by more than 10 years. In one study 2,000 people were shown photos of a woman – one with white teeth and another with artificially stained teeth. People shown the picture with gleaming teeth estimated she was 31, those shown the other photo guessed her as 44. Its no surprise then that its the first thing celebs invest in when they hit the big time.

MORGANTOWN – A federal judge has overturned the nearly 5-year- old illegal assembly convictions of eight members of the Rainbow Family of Living Light, ruling that a magistrates makeshift courtroom in the Monongahela National Forest inadvertently denied the defendants the ability to effectively appeal. But the lack of a transcriptionist and decent sound recording produced an incomplete record of what transpired, and that “had the unintended effect of denying each of the defendants right to a meaningful appeal,” Maxwell ruled last week. “The court simply cannot imagine a case where a better argument could be made that counsels ability to identify issues for their clients appeals was significantly prejudiced,” he wrote. The defendants are wanderers who are difficult to reach, so many still didnt know about the ruling Tuesday afternoon, said Scott Addison, a Rainbow Family legal observer from St. Louis. But those who have been reached are disappointed the judge failed to address underlying issues about the right to peaceful assembly on public lands.

A CHINESE medicine which can cause cancer is on sale in the UK despite repeated warnings to take it off the market, a regulator said yesterday. More than 900 packs of the herbal medicine Jingzhi Kesou Tan Chuan Wan are thought to be circulating despite a recall by the distributor. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said yesterday that the unlicensed product was distributed to 20 shops and clinics selling traditional Chinese and herbal medicines. Packs of the product, brought to the UK from China, have had a new English label put on to hide the original label which contained the Chinese symbols for Aristolochia, a banned toxic and carcinogenic derivative of a plant.
I READ with interest the prime ministers announcement on a new pay scale and promotions for government doctors and other medical personnel. While this is long overdue, I think the public healthcare in Malaysia needs more than just this. My aged mother was admitted to Kuala Lumpur Hospital last week for what I believe was epileptic seizure. The emergency response team was brilliant and they revived my mother after admission. One needs to visit this ward to have a general understanding of where our governments priorities should be. To begin with, the ward has insufficient beds and makeshift beds have been added, filling the walkway and every bit of open space.

For some of them, it is also a way of testing the waters and finding out whether they have what it takes to gain entry at IIT two years down the line. Lokesh Khandelwal, director, Resonance, emphasises that the test is a good way to benchmark an individuals performance at national level in a wider pool of students from across the country, in addition to being a minimum requirement for getting admission in yearlong classroom programmes for IIT-JEE. “A good performance in National Entrance Test indicates potential of the student towards IIT-JEE preparation and may secure scholarship in course fee of Resonance. Since the similar lot of students who are appearing in National Entrance Test now shall also be appearing in IIT-JEE two years later; it is a representative sample of prospective participants. The performance in this National Entrance Test would be a remote indicator of the outcome of IIT-JEE later,” said Khandelwal. For instance, the entrance test conducted by Resonance comprises an Aptitude Test designed to test the competitive quotient, analytical aptitude and intelligence level of student. Questions are asked from maths, mental ability, science (physics and chemistry. The three hour test on objective pattern with negative marking will be conducted at 30 test centres across the country at the same time. An Optical Response Sheet (ORS) is used to mark the answers by the student. It is scanned and checked by computer-based software for the final result. Khandelwal points out that there are several aspects to keep in mind while choosing an institute for the two-year preparatory course. First and foremost is the faculty, as understanding of concepts is the important key to crack this exam. Secondly the institute should have a proper plan of how to deliver the topics with adequate weightage on the chapters. Third is the competition. Students should compare their performance amidst students across country so that they can feel confident. Fourth are the results. It is better to ask some seniors who have studied in a coaching class to get a true picture and the focus should be on whether a student was elated by his result.
