Bottle-feeding may raise risk of stomach blockage in babies
What do we know already?
Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) happens when the lower part of a baby's stomach (called the pyloris) becomes narrowed. This stops the contents of the stomach from passing into the small bowel. As a result, the baby vomits frequently and forcefully.
Around 2 in every 1,000 babies develop HPS, usually in the first two months of life. An operation to widen the pyloris can cure the condition. This is one of the most common surgeries for babies.
Although doctors know how to treat HPS, they don't know why it develops. Studies show that certain things can increase a baby's risk, including being a boy, having a mother who is young or who smokes, and being a first-born child. Some research also suggests that being bottle-fed may increase the risk. However, the studies looking at this have been fairly small.
In the new study, researchers reviewed health information on all babies born in Washington state in the US, from 2003 to 2009. They found more than 700 babies who'd had surgery for HPS, and matched each of these with 10 babies born in the same year who didn't have the condition. They then compared these groups to see if bottle-feeding was more common among those who developed HPS. Babies were considered to be bottle-fed if they had any bottle-feeding while in hospital after being born.
What does the new study say?
Nearly 20 in every 100 babies with HPS were bottle-fed, compared with only around 9 in every 100 babies who didn't develop the condition. After taking into account other things that can affect a baby's risk of HPS, the researchers estimated that bottle-fed babies were more than twice as likely to develop the condition.
This may sound like a large increase in risk, but bear in mind that the actual increase was fairly small. For example, if a breast-fed baby had a 2 in 1,000 risk of HPS, the risk for a bottle-fed baby would be between 4 in 1,000 and 5 in 1,000.
How reliable is the research?
This was a large, well-conducted study that gathered information from reliable health databases. This makes it more likely that the link between bottle-feeding and HPS is genuine.
However, this type of study can't show cause and effect, so we can't be certain that bottle-feeding was what raised the babies' chance of HPS. It's possible that something else increased their risk, which the researchers weren't able to take into account.
It's also not clear from these findings which aspects of bottle-feeding might be linked to HPS. It could be that formula milk plays a role, but some babies in the study may have had breast milk in their bottle. It's also possible that something about the bottles, such as their plastics, could have an effect.
What does this mean for me?
If you are pregnant or have a newborn baby, these findings suggest that bottle-feeding may increase your baby's risk of HPS, although the reasons why aren't yet clear.
While more research will need to explore this, we do know that breast-feeding offers babies many benefits, including providing all the nutrients they need, along with antibodies to protect against disease. A lower risk of HPS may be another benefit to consider.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Wolf, Douglas C., M.D. 08-Apr-03
Public Health Service
|Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research
1401 Rockville Pike
Rockville, MD 20852-1448
Warning Letter
Douglas C. Wolf, M.D.
Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates
5671 Peachtree Dunwoody Road, Suite 635
Atlanta, Georgia 30342
Dear Dr. Wolf:
During the two inspections that were conducted between January 29 and February 18, 2002 (the "first inspection"), and August 26 and September 13, 2002 (the "second inspection"), Ms. Stephanie E. Hubbard and Ms. Claudele Razo, investigators with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), reviewed your conduct of the following five clinical studies.
1 Study 1: [redacted]
2. Study 2: [redacted]
3. Study 3: [redacted]
4. Study 4: [redacted]
5. Study 5: [redacted]
These inspections were conducted under the FDA?s Bioresearch Monitoring Program, which includes inspections designed to audit the conduct of clinical research involving investigational drugs. During the first inspection, Study 1 was audited, and during the second inspection, the FDA investigators conducted an audit of Studies 2 through 5.
A Form FDA-483, Inspectional Observations, was issued to and discussed with you at the conclusion of each inspection. We received your response letters dated, respectively, February 20, 2002, (response l), and November 13, 2002, (response 2) to the Inspections. We reviewed the inspection reports, Forms FDA-483, and your responses.
We have determined that you violated regulations governing the proper conduct of clinical studies involving investigational new drugs, as published in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 50 and 312 (available at www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/index.html). The applicable provisions of the CFR are
cited for each violation listed below. Some of the violations were not cited on the Form FDA-483, but were evident from the documents that the FDA investigators collected during the inspections. To the extent applicable, this letter lists in brackets the Observation Numbers ("Obs. #") that correspond to the violations cited below.
1. You failed to conduct an investigation according to the signed investigator statement, investigational plan, an protocol to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of the subjects under your care. [21 CFR 312.60].
Study 1:
- You failed to follow the study protocol in administering the study drug according to the study schedule. 21 of the [redacted] subjects enrolled in the study received at least one study drug Infusion not in accordance with the protocol-specified schedule during the maintenance phase. [first inspection, Obs. #2 (first example)]
- You explain, in response 1, the difficulty of adhering to the study visit schedules in a long-duration study protocol. However, both the protocol inclusion criteria for subjects add the consent forms approved by the Institutional Review Board stress that the success of the study required adhering to the study visit schedules and required the long study duration, For such studies, you must plan properly to ensure that the schedule requirements are met. We received the corrective action plans that you intend to implement in your future clinical studies, and we urge you to ensure that they are fully implemented and to verify that they are effective in ensuring that Subjects adhere to the study visit schedules.
- The protocol requires that study subjects be randomized to a treatment group at week [redacted] and be continued in the treatment group unless otherwise indicated by a loss of response. The following table illustrates that you failed to follow this protocol directive [first inspection], Obs. #2 (second example)]:
|Treatment assigned on week
|Treatment administered on study week
|[redacted] mg/kg at week [redacted]
|[redacted] mg/kg
|[redacted] mg/kg at week [redacted]
|[redacted] mg/kg at week [redacted]
|[redacted] mg/kg
|[redacted] mg/kg at week [redacted]
|[redacted] mg/kg at week [redacted]
|[redacted] mg/kg
|No administration of study drug at week [redacted]
|[redacted] mg/kg
|[redacted] mg/kg at week [redacted]
Your response 1 indicates that you were not aware of the deviations in study drug dosage and administration due to the blinded nature of the study randomizations. Nevertheless, as the clinical investigator, you are ultimately responsible for the pharmacy staff. We acknowledge your plan to institute intensive protocol training for the pharmacists in future studies, and recommend that steps to verify that the protocol training is effective.
C. The protocol requires the assessment of Crohn?s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) at week [redacted] and week [redacted] for evaluating the response status at wee [redacted] to be randomized to one of the [redacted] treatment groups. You failed to obtain the complete data for CDAI assessment. For subjects 09007, 09012, and 09018, on the week [redacted] visits, no data from the subjects diary [redacted] a critical component used to calculate CDAI [redacted] were obtained. For subjects 09008 and 09020, for the week [redacted] assessment, data for hematocrit [redacted] another component of the CDAI calculation [redacted] were not obtained.
D. You did not ensure that the investigation is conducted according to the signed investigational plan and protocol as shown below.
i. The protocol requires that subjects be provided with diary cards on the pre-screening visit that need to be completed during the [redacted] days before screening to determine eligibility to participate in the study. Your enrollment records indicate that subjects 09025 was prescreened and screened on the same visit date, 12/9/99.
ii. The protocol requires that subjects qualifying for the study be enrolled within [redacted] days of the screening visit. You enrolled subjects 09009, 09010, 09011, 09019, and 09026 in the study outside of this time frame.
iii. The protocol requires the week [redacted] visit to be [redacted] week from week [redacted] visit with an acceptable visit window for the week [redacted] visits as [redacted] day. You did not follow this protocol requirement for nine subjects.
E. The study protocol requires the use of a standard weight table provided with the protocol for determining the standard weight that is used for the study subjects in the assessment of CDAI. You did not used this table for 13 subjects in the CDAI assessments on the screening and week [redacted] visits and for subject 09006 on the screening visit. [first inspection, Obs. #1.b]
In response 1, you acknowledge this oversight and explain that you corrected this deficiency after the sponsor monitor informed you. However, we not that you did not use the standard weight table provided with the protocol for 13 subjects after the sponsor monitor?s correspondence to you dated 6//2/99 required you to use this standard weight table.
F. You enrolled subject 09018 in the study on 8/2/99 even though the subject?s CDAI score, when correctly calculated, was 425 on the screening visit. The protocol requires a CDAI score between [redacted] and [redacted] for the subjects to participate in the study.
G. You failed to follow the investigational plan and administered an incorrect study drug to study subjects. The pharmacy records indicate that subjects 09021 and 09022, and 09024 did not receive the study drug intended for current clinical study under investigation. Subjects 09021 and 09022 received a drug intended for another study on the crossover episodic treatment week and 09024 received the drug intended for another study on week [redacted] of the study treatment period.
Study 2:
A. The investigational plan and protocol require that subjects who fulfill the eligibility criteria be stratified in to one of the two groups, based upon their current Crohn?s disease medication, for further active study drug or control drug allocation within that group: those subjects receiving [redacted] or [redacted] treatment at screening to be in one group and those not receiving any of these treatments to be in another group. Of the 5 subjects in the study, you failed to correctly stratify subjects 1051, 1052 and 1054, who were not receiving the listed treatments, and therefore should have been stratified into the second groupd. [second inspection, Obs. #1]
In response 2, you acknowledge the violation and propose corrective action plans in your future studies. We remind you that incorrect stratification of study subjects may lead to inaccurate efficacy analysis of the study drug in clinical trials.
B. You failed to follow the study protocol regarding steroid (prednisone) dosage prior to screening.
i. You enrolled subject 1051 on the study who did not meet the inclusion criterion regarding a stable prednisone dose prior to study entry and administered study drugs on 8/17/98 and 10/16/98. The study protocol dated 3/23/98 required subjects to be receiving [redacted] mg per day of prednisone for at least [redacted] weeks with a stable dose for at least [redacted] weeks prior to screening. The progress notes dated 7/7/98 and 8/5/98, signed by your sub-investigator, Dr. [redacted], and the subjects medication record indicate that this subject was on prednisone tapering dosages and was on a [redacted] mg dose on the above mentioned dates. This subject, screened on 8/5/98, did not meet the inclusion criteria of a [redacted] mg per day of prednisone for [redacted] weeks prior to screening nor was the subject on a stable prednisone dose for [redacted] weeks prior to screening.
ii. You failed to follow protocol requiring subjects to receive prednisone dosage of [redacted] mg per day for at least [redacted] weeks prior to screening for subjects 1055. The progress note dated 11/19/98 for subject 1055 indicates that subject was on a prednisone dosage of [redacted] mg per day that was not allowed by the protocol.
C. You failed to follow the study protocol requirement that Erthrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) be measured for study subjects or [redacted] weeks [redacted] and [redacted] visits during the blind treatment period. You failed to obtain, or incorrectly obtained, the ESR on at least one occasion for all subjects enrolled in the study. [second inspection, Obs. #7]. In response 2, you acknowledge this deficiency and propose corrective action plans.
D. The study protocol requires that daily diary card data be recorded by all subjects from screening to week [redacted] during the blind treatment period and to week [redacted] during the open label treatment period. The study schedule required that data collected from the subject?s diary card over the [redacted] days prior to the visit be used in the calculation of subjects CDAI score. You failed to collect the dairy card data as required by the protocol for four (subjects 1051, 1052, 1053, and 1054) of [redacted] subjects enrolled. [second inspection, Obs. #12]
Study 3:
A. The sponsor provided you with a signature log to be completed by the study personnel participating in the study with the authorized function in the study and your authorization with signature and date. You failed to get the signature from the infusion nurse infused the study drug on 8/7/01 to subject 0760, and on 8/7/01, 10/10/01, and 12/5/01 to subject 0761. Furthermore, you authorized her function on 3/12/02 after the infusions were completed.
B. You failed to assess both subjects as required by the protocol within the protocol allowed study visit schedules. Examples include, but are not limited to:
|Protocol allowed schedule for visits
|Actual study visit and assessment
|Week [redacted] + [redacted]day
|Week [redacted] visit on 8/7/01 and week [redacted] on 8/17/01
Week [redacted] + [redacted] day
Week [redacted] + [redacted] days
Week [redacted] on 8/7/01 and week [redacted] on 8/29/01
Week [redacted] visit on 9/4/01 and week [redacted] on 10/10/01
C. You failed to follow the protocol regarding steroid dose increase to the pre-study dose level in the treatment of flare for subject 0760. The study protocol states that "if at any time a patient requires rescue therapy for a flare (CDAI [redacted] they will have their steroid dose increased to the daily dose they were on at the entry into study?" The subject entered the study on 7/24/01, and was on a [redacted] mg dose of steroid that was tapered off completely by 912/01. A telephone contact with the subject?s mother, dated 9/20/01, indicated that this subject was asked to stay on a [redacted] mg. Dose prednisone that this subject started taking on 9/17/01 because of a disease flare, rather than instruct the subject to take the entry level dose [redacted] mg prednisone. The episode was not documented as an exception, as the protocol required. [second inspection, Obs. #21]
In response 2, you acknowledge the deficiency. We note that you also failed to measure the disease flare using the CDAI score for this subject on 9/25/01 during the week [redacted] study drug infusion as required by the protocol.
Study 4:
A. You failed to follow the protocol requirement of adhering to the study visit schedules for subject 115 on at least three occasions. Examples include, but not limited to:
i. Week [redacted] visit was conducted 24 hours after the study drug administration whereas the protocol requires the first follow-up visit to occur [redacted] days after the last dose of study drug administration.
ii. Week [redacted] visit was not conducted until 11/8/01, whereas the week [redacted] visit was on 10/25/01.
iii. Week [redacted] assessments were delayed by a week and performed on 1/21/02 on week [redacted] .
B. You failed to follow the protocol requiring the measurements of ESR during the pre-treatment phase and on week [redacted] of the treatment phase for subjects 010 and 115, respectively.
2. You failed to obtain informed consent from study subjects in accordance with the provisions of [21 CFR 312.60].
Study 1:
You failed to obtain the signed informed consent for the following subjects in the revised consent forms approved by the IRB on more than one occasion: Subjects 09002, 09003, 09007, 09009, 09011, 09018, 09019, 09020, 09022, 09025, 09025, 09026, 09027. [first inspection, Obs. #3, and collected exhibits]
Studies 2 and 3
A. For subject 1051 enrolled in Study 2, you failed to obtain the written informed consent on the consent form approved by the IRB on 10/22/98. [second inspection, Obs. #18]
B. For subjects 0760 and 0761 enrolled in Study 3, you obtained the written informed consent using a consent form approved by the IRB on 1/17/01. But superceded by a consent form approved by the IRB on 3/21/01. [second inspection, Obs. ## 19 & 26]
3. You failed to maintain adequate records of the disposition of the drug. [21 CFR 312.62(a)]
Study 2:
Your contract pharmacy failed to maintain adequate records for the disposition of the study drug. Study Drug Preparation Forms (SDPFs) could not be located for the week [redacted] infusion during the blind treatment period for subject 1051 and for the week [redacted] infusion during the open label treatment period for subject 1052. As SDPFs were the only pharmacy records that documented the study drug vials used in the preparation of study drug infusion with appropriate kit numbers and dosage, whether active or placebo, adequate records of week [redacted] infusion data for subjects 1051 and 1052 were not maintained.
In response 2, you propose corrective action plans to prevent the occurrence of this deficiency in your future clinical trials. Your plans, if successfully implemented, appear adequate.
4. You failed to prepare and maintain adequate and accurate case histories. [21 CFR 312.62(b)].
Study 1:
Subjects case histories include worksheets for entering study-related data from the subjects diary card and other assessments in order to obtain CDAI scores as required by the study flow chart in the protocol on scheduled study weeks. This worksheet provides the total CDAI score for that visit which is used in the study for assessing the clinical response status for that week in comparison with the baseline CDAI score. For 27 of [redacted] subjects, the case histories contain numerous unexplained data entry changes and/or errors in the calculation of the CDAI values resulting in documentation deficiencies and discrepancies as shown in items 4A and 4B.
A. Data entered in the source documents were corrected without adequate recorded rationale for 26 of the [redacted] subjects, including but are not limited to: subjects weight, data obtained from subjects diaries, hematocrit value, and the value of abdominal mass.
B. For 24 of [redacted] subjects, the response status at week [redacted] cannot be determined accurately as a result of documentation discrepancies in the CDAI values between the source records at week [redacted] week [redacted] and values reported by the [redacted] on the Enrollment Confirmation Form (ECF) or the Randomization Confirmation Form (RCF). Examples include, but are not limited to: (a) subjects 09001, 09003, 09005, 09009, 09010, 09012, 09013, 09014, 09015, 09018, 09020, 09021, 09022, and 09025 whose CDAI values at screening or week [redacted] from source records are discrepant from that reported on the ECF. [first inspection, Obs. #1a and collected documents ] (b) subjects 09001, 09002, 09006, 09009, 09014, 09020, 09022, 09025, and 09028 whose CDAI values recorded on the worksheet at the week [redacted] visit are discrepant from that reported by [redacted] on the RCF. [first inspection, Obs #1a (last sentence) and collected documents]
Study 2:
For subject 1054, documents are discrepant regarding the oral contraceptive use and the reason for the withdrawal on 10/23/98 from the study.
A. The study protocol required the female subjects enrolled in the study to be on a combination of oral contraceptive and condom use during the study and for [redacted] months after the completion of the study. The inclusion/exclusion criteria during screening on 9/8/98 indicated the subject as not on any oral contraceptive but rather as surgically sterile as of 1994. This data was changed by the study coordinator on 1/5/99 to indicate that the subject was using oral contraceptive at screening, but that change is not supported by source documents. We note that the subject called the study coordinator on 1/5/99 to provide notice of the subjects pregnancy.
B. The progress notes and other source records for the subject?s study visit on her week-4 visit following the study drug infusion, indicate the subject was having increased abdominal pain, intermittent nausea and vomiting, appearance of two buccal ulcers, and tongue plaque. The case report form (CRF) for that visit indicated the subject withdrew due to disease progression whereas the sponsor monitor's? letter dated 1/7/99 noted the subject?s withdrawal from the study after developing a rash. Your file note dated 8/23/02 indicated that the subject withdrew due to an infusion reaction that was changed on 8/27/02 to withdrawal due to disease progression.
Study 3:
A. Documents are discrepant regarding the steroid, prednisone, administration to study subject 0760. Subjects concomitant medications CRF indicated that the subject was on prednisone dosage of [redacted] mg per day starting on 9/17/01 that was not discontinued until 5/4/02, whereas the source documents indicated that this subject started prednisone dosage of [redacted] mg per day on 10/02/01 that was tapered and discontinued on 10/31/01.
B. Documents are discrepant regarding subject withdrawals from the study. You reported to the IRB on 5/10/02 the withdrawal of subjects 0761 from the study. However, subject 0760 withdrew from the study on 10/31/01 and you did not include that information in the above mentioned report to the IRB.
C. The study protocol required that the data for the CDAI be collected at weeks [redacted] and [redacted] visits. You failed to collect or collected incomplete data for both subject as shown in the following example: CDAI for subject 0760 on week [redacted] and [redacted] visits and for subject 0751, on [redacted] and [redacted] visits.
Study 5:
A. Documents are discrepant for subject 558001 on the screening visit regarding stool culture. Even though a the laboratory source document indicates a test result for the stool culture taken 4/26/02, neither the subjects screening visit progress notes dated 4/26/02 for the study-exclusion-criteria CRF indicated that the stool culture was taken.
B. Study Drug Prescription Form provided by the sponsor does not contain any data regarding the study drug preparation such as date and time the infusion was prepared, and the pharmacist?s signature and date for subject 558001 for the week [redacted] infusion and for subject 558002 for the week [redacted] infusion.
C. For subject 558002, the CDAI assessment dated 7/1/02 for the week [redacted] infusion contains an incorrect calculation for the question regarding anemia. Subtracting the subjects hematocrit value of 42% from the standard value for male should give a corrected CDAI score 466 instead 436.
D. There is no documentation of the protocol exemption from the sponsor for subject 558002 regarding the initiation of antibiotic use. Subjects progress note dated 6/20/02 indicates that the sponsor monitor allowed the initiation of Flagyl and Cipro and the subject to remain on the study that was not supported by any document from the sponsor.
In your response letter dated 11/13/02, for Studies 2 and 3, you explain that many of the deficiencies were due to the former study coordinator?s error and you indicate that the coordinators involved in the Crohn?s disease studies are not involved in your clinical practice. We note that during the site initiation visit on 7/6/98 for study 2, the sponsor monitor reviewed your obligations such as completing CRFs and monitoring conventions, investigator responsibilities including form FDA 1572, and dispensing and administration of study drugs including randomization. You signed investigator agreements for Study 3 with the study sponsor on 8/3/00, 6/14/02, and 8/5/02 to conduct the trial according to the protocol and agreed to ensure that all associates, colleagues, and employees assisting in the conduct of the study are informed about their obligations in meeting the commitments made in the investigator agreement. You were aware of your commitments and failed to adhere to them.
We note that you involved in [redacted] clinical trials including some of the above studies. We acknowledge your plan to obtain additional audits by sponsors and monitors as well as a an audit of the contract pharmacy, and urge you to review all stages of your studies to ensure that you have implemented corrective action at every stage, including, but not limited to, pre-screening stages, where applicable.
This letter is not intended to be all-inclusive list of deficiencies in your clinical studies of investigational drugs. It is your responsibility to ensure adherence to each requirement of the law and applicable regulations and to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of subjects under your care.
You should notify this office, in writing, within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of this letter, of the steps you have implemented and plan to implement to prevent the recurrence of similar violations in on-going and future studies and to assure that they are conducted in compliance with 21 CFR Parts 50 and 312. Any request for an extension of the 15 business days should provide a reasonable basis for such extension.
This Warning Letter is issued to you because of the serious nature of the observations noted at the time of the FDA inspections. Please be advised that the failure to effectively put into practice the corrective actions you plan to implement and/or the commission of other violations may result in the initiation of enforcement action(s) without further notice. These actions could include initiation of clinical investigator ineligible to receive investigational new drugs, and/or injunction.

text: Vladimir Putin, Petro Poroshenko Meet at D-Day Event in Normandy, France Print article Send a Tip by Mary Chastain 6 Jun 2014 post a comment Seventy years ago today Allied forces landed on Normandy for D-Day. June 6, 2014, is also significant because it is the first time Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Ukraine President-elect Petro Poroshenko. Reuters reported: French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel brought together Russia's Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian president-elect Petro Poroshenko for a 15-minute meeting before an official lunch for visiting world dignitaries. Hollande's office said the two men shook hands and agreed that detailed talks on a ceasefire between Kiev government forces and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine would begin within a few days. They also discussed political steps to de-escalate the crisis including Russian recognition of Poroshenko's election as well as economic relations. Hollande decided to invite Poroshenko, who will be inaugurated on Saturday, as a guest so the two men could meet and start to mend the fences between the two nations as intense fighting continues in east Ukraine. D-Day is also the first time Western leaders met with Putin face-to-face since the crisis started in February. Merkel met with Putin for one hour on Friday. "In this discussion, the chancellor expressed that now, after the recognized presidential elections in Ukraine, the time must be used to bring about stabilization, especially in eastern Ukraine," said a spokeswoman. "And in this discussion she used the opportunity to remind Russia of its great responsibility in this."

Is the Obama administration actually succeeding in making it so there's less terrorists out there trying to kill us with their radical plan of not actively trying to make more terrorists out there trying to kill us?
Yes, according to a guy who has absolutely no vested interest in the answer to that question…
Responding to criticism from former Vice President Cheney that President Obama is making the nation more vulnerable to terrorism, the president's National Security Adviser, Gen. Jim Jones (Ret.), told ABC News in an exclusive interview that actually the reverse is true: President Obama's greater success with international relations has meant more terrorists put out of commission.
Yeah, but that's just because he's giving them jobs in the administration.
But, hey, ya know. Whatever works.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- After more than two decades, a local newspaper is changing its look.
The Rock River Times is switching up how you flip through its pages. The print edition is on newsstands as a half-fold tabloid newspaper, similar to the Chicago Sun Times and New York Post. But the paper's editor Frank Schier says his pages don't read like a typical newspaper.
"It's more of a magazine format and you'd be surprised on how many times people have referred to this newspaper to me personally as a magazine. I think that we write to that quality and I wanted to attain the actual physical package." Schier said.
The Rock River Times plans to unveil its new electronic daily edition in early February.

The gorgeous Deepika Padukone is all set to begin the 27th year of her life, today on 5th January, in the coziest way possible. Keeping the celebrations low, she will be spending the day with parents and sister Aneesha, who are flying down from Bangalore to Mumbai just for her birthday. Her plans for the day are restricted to spending it with family and few very close friends. She will apparently resume shooting for Ram Leela opposite Ranveer Singh post evening after her birthday celebrations are largely complete.
With her kitty full of mixed bag, diverse scripts and different actors, KoiMoi glances through Deepika's best on screen team ups.
Deepika � SRK
Deepika's debut vehicle in Bollywood was Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The film was a blockbuster and Deepika was appreciated as the new flavour of Bollywood. Her right personality, attitude and looks made looked in sync with Shah Rukh's overpoweringly magnanimous stature. They teamed up together again for an item song in Billu which was quite a sizzling number. They are all set to 'Ready Steady Po' with Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express which is being produced by Gauri Khan.
Their relationship was under media scrutiny all through and so was their high profile break up. But surely Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone do make a nice pair, at least on screen. Their behaviors quite complimentary enhance each other. Though Bachna Ae Haseeno wasn't able to explore fully the on screen chemistry of the two! The duo will be seen again in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani and since Ayan's previous venture Wake Up Sid was more than a mere breath of fresh air, hopes are extremely high from this one as well.
Their chemistry didn't quite work well the audiences. In Chandni Chowk to China, she looks lost and confused for a large part of the film. In Housefull, Deepika was noticeable more because of her beauty and less for her chemistry with Akshay.
Audiences have got quite a taste of this pair. They have definitely evolved with time and films, and Deepika has got better with her acting. Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal was a great film for its story. But Deepika's acting could not really do justice do the character Imtiaz had envisioned for her. Aarakshan and Cocktail both come as a pleasant surprise to you when you see how her acting has seasoned up with time for the better and the pair look great in both films.
As a supportive partner to a schizophrenic in Karthik Calling Karthik, Deepika does justice to her role finally. Her chemistry with Farhan in the film leaves enough space for greater delving.
A blind girl working towards winning a skating competition, now that's an inspiring tale. Lafangey Parindey was a well made film. One will be mesmerized by Deepika's acting and that in turn overshadows her chemistry with Neil.
Now this jodi had a significant amount of potential. There were heart wrenchingly cute moments between the two in Break Ke Baad. Imran's endearing role and how he warmly draws the brat towards him, was quite a tale.
I think we all must have missed this one. Though Deepika's acting was impressive in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, the chemistry was worse than doom!
One would expect two such beautiful looking people to have a hot chemistry. But both, the film Desi Boyz and their chemistry were epic disasters!
KoiMoi wishes Deepika Padukone a Very Happy Birthday!

A little background: I grew up in a very affluent town, surrounded by people with lots and lots and lots of money. The kind of money that bought BMWs and Mercedes on 16th birthdays (not me. I got the lawn mower). The kind of money that bred ungrateful kids who made fun of those who didn't have gobs and gobs and gobs of it (---> me). The kind of money that mattered if it was 'old' money, or 'new' money (said with a sneer). But for every uber-wealthy family in my town, there were equal parts middle class families. And families struggling to make it through each day.
I was very blessed to fall into the middle class arena, though I was looked upon with pity by the parents of my bffs who were from 'old money' and lived in mega mansions along the lake. Both my parents worked and taught us the value of working hard, and how 'money isn't everything.' In fact, most of the bastards I knew with money were downright, mean, cold-hearted, sneering asswipes who would sooner run you over with their Ranger Rover (equipped with the 'rhino' package because you never know when a 'rhino' is going to charge you in the parking lot at Nordstroms) than allow you to cross the road safely.
So, growing up, even though I was blessed to have a loving set of parents, two beautiful sisters, and a safe place to come home to at the end of the day, my perspective on real life and finances was completely fu*ked up. I understood that whatever me and my sisters had was *not enough* and that because my parents were not multi millionaires, we were second class citizens. Not worthy of being noticed.
Okay, so those of you who are really observant....what does my belief system about money tell you? Let's break it down:
1. People with money are assholes.
2. People with money are cold-hearted and buy unnecessary African Safari packages for their cars
3. People with money pity & hate poor people.
4. I, under no circumstances, was going to grow up to be A-holes.
And guess what? Because I wanted NONE OF IT and was so fed up with the crappy rich-attitude I grew up with, I actively sought a life that was anti-wealthy because I didn't want to become an A-hole. I dated men that were broke and couldn't hold jobs. I avoided any male wearing a suit. I spent my money when I had it rather than saving it. I bought what I wanted when I wanted it, regardless if it might cut into my rent.
Not only did I not want to have money because it meant becoming an asshole, I also had no respect for it. And all of it has shaped and impacted my life greatly.
Now that I know what I want to do for the rest of my life, I need the tools and fuel to do it successfully. And money is one of the fuels I will need. So, this nonsense towards feeling bad about money has to stop. Money is the key to my freedom, and for pursuing and realizing my dream of being a full time artist.
So, how does one re-think this perspective on money that has been the norm for my 40+ years?? Well, it's not easy, but first things first: If you want to be successful in your endeavors, you need to go deep diving into yourself and find those nasty jellyfish beliefs floating around that will sabotage your efforts. My big ole' fat jellyfish is money.
My mentors have all struggled with the money thing too, but they have successfully overcome their old beliefs and replaced with new beliefs that allows them to feel good about money in all aspects of having it, spending it, and sharing it. This is a good thing because - if they can do it, and have done it successfully, that means I can too!
How'd they do it? By reading books, working with coaches, meditation, self reflection.
And guess what? I'm going to do that too. In fact, my first book on 'money' and changing one's relationship just arrived in the mail. It's called 'Happy Pocket Full of Money' by David Cameron Gikandi.
It's time to be an adult and stop thinking of useful things - like money - as bad evil things. And fix the relationship.
I will follow up with a post about what I learned from 'Happy Pocket Full of Money.'
And if you are also messed in the head about money, don't be a stranger. We can share ideas, and talk about it, and help each other through it. I'm open to it. Are you?

How secure do you consider this process?
- A drive has data from a previous OS installation.
- A new OS installation is made on the drive, and Heidi Eraser is run on free space.
What are the chances of data being recovered from the original install?
How secure do you consider this process?
What are the chances of data being recovered from the original install?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
As far as I can see from the documentation, Heidi Eraser makes a serious attempt at erasing all the unused space on the disk where old data may linger. Make sure to select "erase cluster tips", as otherwise some hard-to-exploit data fragments could be left in blocks that are only partially used by a file (because the size of this file is not a whole number of blocks) (this is explained in the "cluster tips" entry in the glossary in the manual). Heider Eraser also takes care of erasing the filesystem table to wipe the names of old files. I have not seen any reference to erasing areas reserved for filesystem metadata which may not have been initialized (I don't know if NTFS has such areas).
Nonetheless, I strongly recommend wiping data before installing the new operating system, because it's simpler. Heider Eraser has to whitelist areas to wipe, because it must make sure not to erase live data. Wiping a blank disk is straightforward. Do this, then install the new operating system.
Note that overwriting once with zeroes is practically as good as overwriting with random data multiple times (there was a difference with 1980s technology, but not with today's denser disks). Also, note that against an attacker with physical access and some electronic equipment, wiping is not enough, especially with SSD, because the disks reallocate defective or worn sectors but you can still read them with the right equipment. See How can I reliably erase all information on a hard drive? and other [deletion] questions on this site.
Any drive eraser app which overwrites every block on the partition even once will make your chances of data retrieval effectively nil. Check to see if Heidi was set to do this. Don't worry about the number of passes - it was useful when hard disks were not as well developed, as you could retrieve a lot of information by moving the read head slightly off the correct track, but this isn't the case any more.
If it wasn't a full erase, you may get some data back, but not from the areas the new OS was installed to as it will have overwritten it.
Have a look at this question on securely deleting files for more information.
It depends on the algorithm used to over write the data. The most successful (probably an overkill but...) algorithm that Heidi Eraser uses is Gutmann (35 passes).
There are two methods of data recovery. One of which is just reading the deleted data from the hard disk. If it is the case just overwriting the deleted data is enough. But other recovery method is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) in which the number of overwrites and even how you overwrite the data is very important.

After some consideration and plenty of oppositon, Nassau County's off-track betting agency has decided not to roll the dice on Plainview as a potential site for video gaming terminals.
In a letter from the Nassau Regional Off Track Betting Corporation to Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto, OTB general counsel Arthur Walsh said the state authorized 1,000 video devices will not appear at the Race Palace on Round Swamp Road.
"The decision is based on multiple factors," wrote Walsh. "Particularly your forceful advocacy on behalf of residents living in the vicinity of the Plainview facility. The community concerns that you expressed made it abundantly clear that the existing tele-theater may not be a suitable location for video lottery gaming."State lawmakers approved a deal in June that would allow Nassau and Suffolk counties to each operate 1,000 electronic gaming machines, known as video lottery terminals (VLTs), in Las Vegas-style slot machine parlors, set to open in the coming year. These parlors would operate out of restaurants and bars.
However, local groups like Concerned Citizens of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Community took to the streets and petitioned local leaders to urge Nassau OTB to look elsewhere for a place to open a gaming facility. Carol Meschkow, president of Concerned Citizens, collected close to 700 signatures on her petition and lobbied local leaders to bet against the facility.
"This was something that was just out of character with the neighborhood," said Meschkow, noting that there are several schools within a half-mile of the Race Palace. "We look to provide a communtiy which focuses on raising children in an area with a suburban quality of life. A gaming facilty like this would have been totally out of character with that vision."
Meschkow said her organization is not against the idea of such a facility, but that this type of business is better suited in a different location.
"We're not opposed to video gaming at all. If they find an area that embraces the idea and is appropriate for the area, we are in favor of it," she said. "We understand the state needs money. That is not what we were opposed to."
And Nassau OTB said it heard that message loud and clear.
"Being a good neighbor to all of the communities in which we operate remains one of our foremost priorities," said Walsh in his letter to Venditto. "On behalf of Nassau Downs OTB, I wish to thank you for the valuable input and wise counsel that enabled us to make an informed decision, not only for the residents of Plainview, but also for our corporation and our present and future patrons."
In his response, Venditto said he commends Nassau OTB for putting the concerns of the communtiy first on its list of priorities.
"I am pleased that Nassau OTB has decided not to place video gaming devices at its Plainview site," said Venditto. "It is especially satisfying that Nassau OTB highlighted community concerns as a determining factor in its decision, and it should be commended for acting as a good neighbor. This is yet another example of how concerned residents, working together with responsive elected officials, can protect our quality of life."

I understand that maybe God has someone planned for me outside of my age range-either up or down. In your example, the older one was the father-it usually is, but let's say the tables are turned. John, would you be willing to go up 18 years and date a 47 year old? There is nothing wrong with people dating others much younger or older, but I'm saying I'm not there yet. I'm attracted to people my own age, who have things in common with me.
I'd say your first statement is right on target, Marita. Being open to God's plan eliminates all the worry. I do agree that you have to be comfortable with whomever you are getting to know. But, God just might surprise you. I didn't even want to date my husband and tried to avoid him, but he was a persistent fellow and we had 34 good years together.
If we limit who we will consider based on age, height, education, etc., we take the choice totally out of God's hands and limit God's efforts to offer us a happy life. Just my two cents. Thanks for starting such interesting threads.

Dallas: Brazilian - which one & how much?
I am just starting to research the Texas board for a rec of where to eat on my one night in Dallas in July. It will be me, daughters ages 9 & 12, & my parents. Parents live in Waco & usually eat Indian & sometimes Chinese when they visit Dallas/Austin. I would like to take them someplace different. Well, outside of the afore mentioned cuisines, they like steak but don't eat often due to expense.
I will be visiting from San Francisco area & one place I haven't been & would like to try is a churrascaria. I looked at the websites for Texas de Brazil & Fogo De Chao but couldn't find prices. Parents & I will probably do a glass of wine each & we'll probably get three desserts. Just would like to have an idea how much these places run.
We'll probably be staying somewhere near 635 & 35 or Addison. I'd appreciate suggestions for Brazilian steakhouses & their pricing. Yelpers seem to like Fogo over Texas. Last but not least, I didn't choose a traditional steakhouse because my 9 yr. old stopped eating beef a few months ago but loves lamb & chicken.
I never cared for the food from Fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil. The price you pay, approximately $45 per person, is money better spent at one of Dallas' finer steakhouses. But, if you have to go, I would choose Fogo de Chao b/c their "salad bar" is far better than Texas de Brazil's. Don't know much about the newcomer, Rafain.
If your family is feeling a bit more adventurous try:
Some reviews from the local paper:
re: adkim
I've wanted to try Brazil Brasileiro for a couple of years and finally tried their lunch buffet today.
Unlike Fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil, it's very low key (a neighborhood restaurant) and the decor is not nice, but the food was good (more home-cooking style and authentic) and we prefer this one to those chains. Their chicken dishes (bacon chicken, chicken wings and something else) were all very good. We loved their potato cheese casserole. The deep fried broccoli was also good.
The lunch buffet is $6.99/lb or $10.99 for all-you-can-eat. The sign said Rodizio (or churrasco) is available weekend nights.
I think the owner recently changed and according to the waitress, it's owned by the original owner now.
re: kuidaore
Brazil Brasilisero in Richardson is now Betchee's Brazil.
All the wait staff has been replaced, but the food is the same though they say the chef has also changed. We really like their beef and chicken.
re: kuidaore
I've enjoyed Fogo several times but I recently went to Betchee's and I'm kicking myself for not going earlier.
I had the lunch buffet and enjoyed most of the selection. The cheese bread isn't quite as cheesy as I like to make mine but were still good, the yucca dishes (fried/baked) were great, the meats were good, fried eggplant was great (no sauce needed), and I even liked the salads.
I saw another table getting rodizio and while it's not as elaborate/overwhelming as Fogo I saw the same cuts of meat coming out. Service was friendly and they were happy to explain the buffet, rodizio, and the regular menu. I need to go back and try a caipirinha.
re: amokscience
Betchee remodeled recently and changed their lunch format to a more cafeteria style (entree plus sides). Plates in the $6-$10 range. The waitstaff and servers aren't very organized or efficient so it moved slowly and there was confusion but the food was good. Our group had a bit of everything and the brisket was especially good.
I love steak. I have been to Fogo de Chao, Texas de Brazil, and Rafain's. The best is clearly Fogo de Chao. But if $45 for dinner scares you, then try Rafain's. It is located about 5 miles north of 635 right off the tollway. They charge about $35 for all you can eat. The quality of meat and the variety are only slightly less than at Fogo. But if you haven't tried this type of food, then its a good way to get introduced and not break the bank. The salad bar is small compared to Fogo but adequate. The dessert bar is extra so watch out, they don't tell you this upfront. It costs about $6 extra for the dessert bar but that too is all you can eat. They have a lunch for $18 which features less choices but nonethelss very good deal. It is my place to go when I want churrascaria. Fogo is where I go to when I have guests. Texas De Brazil is not worth going.
i used to work for texas de brazil, but i tried finding a place that is similar but less expensive, and I've been going to this sorta mom and pop brazilian resturant in richardson, called Brazil Brasileiro, buffet style its pretty tasty and they charge by the pound. off arapaho and 75
I haven't tried either of them yet but I am going this Sat for my bday... I know either one will be great... I'll let you know how it goes...........
Well, I made it out to Texas de brazil. I went to the one in Addison... It was everything I imagined it to be... With exception of the Lamp chops and leg of lamb, every cut of meat was superb... I only say that because I personally don't like lamb... But I recommend it and plan on returning soon....

Thanks for reporting back. Did anyone else in your group like the lamb? My family loves lamb (Indian, Greek). Also, can you please share the pricing? According to the website, kids 12 & under are 1/2 price.
re: ceekskat
There Lamb is normally quite good. I personally love lamb and in fact mostly eat their lamb when I go there. If you are planning on going then join their email list http://www.fishbowl.com/clt/tdb/lp/jo.... They send out two for one and such on a regular basis.
Also note that they do not have Lamb at lunch. Also make sure and twist their arm to bring you chops, the leg is okay but nothing comparatively.
I love churrascarias. My job treated 25 of us to Fogo in Addison when it first opened in 99 and I've been hooked ever since. I had my first caipirinha there and now a bottle of cachaca is permanently part of my pantry staples.
My most favorite is the Texas de Brazil on Lemmon - for the food as well as the ambiance. The view is really nice and one of the only restaurants in Dallas that actually has a view at that price point. Part of what makes the view is a portion of the dining room is actually hovering over Lemmon Ave. Also, there is red velvet and gold touches everwhere, a full suit of armor, the decor is very gothic and so romantic. The salad bar at this location is 3 times the size of the one at the Addison location and imho is better than even the one at Fogo/Addison. Texas de Brazil location in Addison is a swank spot and perfect for impressing out of town clients, but for impressing out of town family I would go with TdB/Lemmon Ave.
Btw, I haven't been to Rafain/Tollway, but I hear the meat is even more flavorful and juicy... if thats possible. :)
Texas de Brazil $35/pp for dinner.
Fogo $38/pp for dinner
Thanks for the tips on the coupon website & the Lemmon location. This is currently on my shortlist. I will post separately asking for other recs. Oh, I have booked a place near Coit & LBJ.
Rafain's is better than both Fogo and Texas de Brazil. Better quality meat and more authentic Brazilian sides. It's also less expensive. They also have a Sampler platter at the bar that is around $12 and will feed two people. Rafain's is a relatively new place and they make a special effort to provide excellent service and food. Fogo's quality has dropped.
re: ShanghaiSam
Group of six tried Rafain for the first time this past Friday evening and must say it was quite a disappointment. The service was shockingly poor. We had to request them bring sides of fried bananas and potatoes after the meat had already been served. Speaking of, most of the cuts were over-seasoned and too salty. The restaurant was strangely empty for 8pm on a Friday night, which made the poor service even more perplexing. It's been a while but my memories of Fogo are much more positive, and I won't hesitate to spend the extra 10 bucks the next time the churrascaria mood strikes.
I just called Fogo de Chao are their prices are $48.50 for dinner and $32.50 for lunch. Texas de Brazil is $42.99 for dinner and $19.99 for lunch. Rafain is $36.95 for dinner and $17.95 for lunch. If you are going to Texas de Brazil don't forget to sign up for the e-club to receive coupons.

WESTLAKE, Ohio (AP) - Workers at an Ohio Taco Bell say four people wanted more than nachos.
Restaurant employees in suburban Cleveland told police that the group tried to make off with a painting valued at $157 that was hanging on a wall in the fast-food joint.
The Plain Dealer newspaper reports the Taco Bell manager prevented the culprits from putting the art in their car last Friday. Police say the manager recognized the car's driver as an 18-year-old former employee at the restaurant. His three cohorts ranged in age from 17 to 21.
Police were waiting for a prosecutor to decide on charges for the four.

Cary Sherburne: Hi, I'm Cary Sherburne, Senior Editor at WhatTheyThink.com and I'm here with Tim Arnold from Arnold Printing in the Midwest.
Tim Arnold: Correct.
Cary Sherburne: You guys have been in business a century.
Tim Arnold: Yes, we have. We're a 101 years-old.
Cary Sherburne: That's great.
Tim Arnold: Yes.
Cary Sherburne: And you know a lot of companies have had some trouble kind of migrating to this new digital world, but it seems like you've moved to incorporate digital into your business and maybe you could talk to us a little bit about how that came about and how that's worked for you.
Tim Arnold: Well we got into the digital end of the business to keep up with the times and to be able to produce what our customers wanted us to be able to produce for them and we got into it about seven years ago and we were with a vendor and the press just didn't work out and we went out and looked at other vendors and HP won out in a big way. The quality was the biggest issue. Their sheets coming off of our digital press, which was then an HP Indigo 5000 matched the quality that was coming off of our sheet fed presses and our customers couldn't tell the difference. So it was a big advantage to be able to walk in there and say which one is digital and which one is sheet fed commercial and they couldn't tell the difference. So we chose them and started a relationship and we just recently in the last six months purchased a 7500 and along with that purchase we got a support team, marketing support, business support and I feel like I've got a whole team behind me that isn't even part of Arnold Printing.
Cary Sherburne: Yeah, well they're a virtual part of your company.
Tim Arnold: Right, exactly.
Cary Sherburne: Yeah, that's great. So they've helped you develop a marketing plan and-
Tim Arnold: They from scratch helped me write a marketing plan and have led me through that every step of the way. Jeff Doud [ph] spent several hours with me kind of leading me through that marketing plan asking me a lot of questions and so I really thought a great transition from where we were to where we wanted to head and I don't have a marketing background, but was able to develop this to a point where I then was led to hiring a marketing director for our company.
Cary Sherburne: Terrific, terrific.
Tim Arnold: And he's taken it to another level and really is the impetus to get us changing our whole business model.
Cary Sherburne: And was hiring a marketing professional an HP recommendation or a conclusion you came to yourself or-?
Tim Arnold: Well Jeff Doud said you're going to need to have somebody take this off of your plate because you already wear too many hats and I was like okay who is going to do that and he thought somebody from the inside and I was blessed to have a friend who has a marketing background and we talked and it ended up being a great fit.
Cary Sherburne: So what are some of the new applications that you've been able to develop using the 7500?
Tim Arnold: Well we've been able to print on the silver paper, the opaque white application. Our customers go nuts over that and it's a very high revenue driver for us and again the people that do the behind the scenes stuff for us were phenomenal with it, so it was easy for us to go out there and sell it. We actually went out and we produced a sample book based on our marketing director's design and that marketing director is Andy Kramer and he produced this book and we went out and showed our customers and they were in awe of it and so it makes—that press sells itself pretty much once you get out in front of people.
Cary Sherburne: Yeah, yeah.
Tim Arnold: So it's got that and it's increased speed, so we were able to actually reduce our cost and be able to pass that on to our customers, which has helped drive business to that press.
Cary Sherburne: And so now they've introduced the next generation, which is the 7600. What do you think about that?
Tim Arnold: I'm blown away by it. That and the 10,000 is a game changer.
Cary Sherburne: Yeah.
Tim Arnold: I just I asked my sales person Steve are we going to get a bigger press that we can print bigger sheets on and he was saying well I'm sure it's in R&D and then he sends me the video and it's like wow. I mean my brother who is the president, Duff Arnold I sent the email to him and he emailed me back with wow. I really feel like it is revolutionizing the printing world right now.
Cary Sherburne: So what do you think? What impact do you think the 10,000 is going to have on sheet fed offset?
Tim Arnold: All I can think about is taking that 10,000 and running a bunch of variable data on it that can personalize cartons or can personalize cards or whatever it is in a larger number and just seeing dollar signs in my mind.
Cary Sherburne: That's terrific. So you look forward to a bright future.
Tim Arnold: Yes, I do.
Cary Sherburne: That's terrific. Thank you.
Tim Arnold: You're welcome.

LaCie has announced two new USB hubs designed by Sam Hecht – the LaCie Core4 and LaCie Core7. Both hubs come with built-in USB cables which can be fully concealed within the box when not in use. The design is neat, simple, elegant and practical.
The LaCie Core4 looks stylish in an exclusive matchbox shape. It comes with four USB ports; three external USBs and a built-in mini-USB cable as well as a standard USB cable for connecting to a computer.

It is really a cool and innovative portable USB hub.

The Core7 offers six USB ports, a built-in mini USB cable and a standard USB cable. It does not appear in matchbox shape and is slightly bigger than Core4. The Core7, however, includes channels to keep cables organized for easy mobility and desktop convenience.
