A video is now buzzing around social media networks because of a man who made his resignation in the job in the most surprising way. Sometimes we experience the same thing that he had, its the time when you know that you are at the end of rope on your job and you know that the sack was coming and you are just waiting for it. So what did this guy did? Yeah, he posted a video of him and his boss' daughter having the time of their lives in a public bathroom.
Yeah, whats the worse thing that you could possibly do if you knew that you are about to get fired by your boss? Yeah, slap right back in your boss' face the video of her daughter having fun with your willy. The video was posted on Twitter and it immediately went viral and many social media pages and websites re-blogged the said video. It has gained many viewers to the point that family and friends and even his boss watched the video. If you want to watch the full video and if you are brave enough, you can go see the video on the below.

I received a serging sewing machine for Mother's Day and I finally took it out to use. The tension is all goofed up and the instruction book's tips are not helping. The stitches are all loopy like is was crocheted instead of serged. Has anyone else found a solution to adjusting tension on a serger?
Judy from Winfield, IL
I suggest that you first go to the place you purchased it from and have them help you. My store gave free classes with the purchase of any new machine. If you have no luck you can always contact the Better Business Bureau.
Also there are other books on sergers, however your book that came with the machine should be all you need. Are you changing all the tensions or one at a time? The side that's loopy needs to be tightened. I hope this has helped some. Judy (09/12/2006)
By bjptl
My serger is set on 4 all the way across. I hope that helps. (09/13/2006)
By June
Look at all your threads, one by one. Check to see if each is totally in the disk at the top. Be sure all threads are threaded in their proper places. Is the needle new? Are all threads of the same weight? These are things you can try. I have 4 sergers and they all give me trouble from time to time. With lots of patience I am able to get them working.
Loopy stitches mean it's too loose. But the stitches will be loopy by themselves (no fabric). Is your machine new? Have you checked the FAQ in the book? On the website of the make of machine? There are lots of things you can try, but I understand your frustration. (09/13/2006)
By Cathy
I've had to check the website of the serger's manufacturer for their online instruction manual. They are usually more complete than the manual that comes with the serger. I recently bought a 5 thread Singer serger and I was having a very difficult time threading it. The online manual was a life saver. (09/28/2008)

When asked, salespeople tell us that time management is among their top day-to-day challenges. One rarely gets to the end of their workday and says, "Wow, I accomplished everything I needed to do today!" There simply aren't enough hours in the day, week, month or year to do everything we need to do and still have a life outside of work if we don't manage our time effectively. In this workshop salespeople learn:
- How to protect your time from "time thieves"
- How to protect your time from time-stealing activities
- How to organize
- The importance of making lists
- Prioritizing tasks
- Assigning time limits
- Linking rewards to activities
- Discovering the "right" time to do activities/tasks
- Planning
- How forward motion and inertia help get the job done

Can I clone forms from my clients live site to modify and use in test pages from same domain?Asked by Henri on September 28, 2015 at 10:53 AM
I have my clients login info for JotFormPro.
I desire to clone forms, set the JotFormPro properties to enable PayPal sandbox and test. I have create a test folder in the production website and copied all necessary files. I will add the "cloned" forms to the test pages.
Will this work without affecting their live site?
JotForm Support
Hi Henri,
You can easily clone the forms of a website by following this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/42-How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL. However, that is still depending on the settings of your clients if they have allowed cloning of their forms by other users, it is best to contact them directly. Please note that cloning forms means it will copy the target form and add it to your account, it won't affect the original form.
You can also ask them to share their forms to you by making you a sub account user, here's a guide that they need to follow: http://www.jotform.com/help/232-How-to-Share-Forms-with-a-Sub-Account-User.
I hope that helps.
Let me ask the question a different way.
Even though your support has said that no testing is necessary for SHA-256 compliance, my client still wants to test.
So I need to test the forms on my clients website in the PayPal sandbox and I have all access to JotForm, PayPal, and my clients website.
My plan is logging into JotFormPro.com using my clients login info and cloning the forms they currently use (setting the properties to enable PayPal Sandbox) and then modifying their production pages (in a test area of their website) and use their modified pages with the "cloned" JotForm forms to run the tests using the PayPal sandbox accounts.
Does that work or is there a better way to run the test?
Sorry to be a pain but I don't currently use JotForm and need to get this test done in the most efficient manner possible. I do plan to use JotForm in the future!
Thank you
JotForm Support
No worries, we are here to help, regarding your concern, that is possible.
1. First, log in to your clients account.
2. You can make a clone of the form by following this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/27-How-to-clone-an-existing-form-from-your-account.
3. It will directly clone the form from the account of your user. Navigate back to "My Forms" section, the name of the cloned form will be something like "Clone of...". You now have the exact copy of the form with its Paypal setup.
4. You can now make a test environment for the clone form without editing or changing anything on the original form.
5. In the cloned form, find the payment integration related to "Paypal" (Note: only one payment method can be setup in a form). The screenshot below shows how the payment integrations are setup, they are drag from the "Payment Tools" section, they usually labeled as "My Products", but it depends on how your clients named it. You can click the "wizard"/"wand" icon at the right side when you select a field, a wand icon represents that it has further settings that you can check. To better understand how the payment integrations are setup, please do check this guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/165-Setting-Up-Your-First-Order-Form. To find the "Sandbox" option, click the gear icon->Properties
6. Inside the "Properties" you'll see the sandbox option
I hope that helps. Do let us know if you need more assistance on this.

The term "market," as a noun, refers to all the current and potential consumers or businesses who would use a company's products. Markets can be very diverse and consist of many characteristics. The business owner must locate viable markets for the company's products, apprise consumers of its wares and services and make products available to them. A market typically consists of a number of sub-groups that a company must identify as its key buyers.
From a macroeconomic standpoint, a market is synonymous with the industry of which a company is a part. For example, if you sell consumable packaged drinks to consumers, you are in the consumer products or packaged goods industry. Restaurant companies are in the restaurant industry, and companies that produce gaskets or airplane parts are in the industrial sector. Industries also consist of many different markets, some local, regional, national and even international. The size of your company may dictate how large a market you service. For example, small retailers usually deal with just the local market, which may lie within a 5-mile radius of their stores.
Consumer Vs. Business Markets
Companies usually sell to either consumer of business markets. A consumer market consists of shoppers who buy your products from retailers, restaurants or wholesale food establishments. Business markets include customers who purchase services like advertising or consulting. Business customers tend to buy less frequency but at higher dollar volumes. For example, a marketing consulting firm may charge a small manufacturer $250,000 to assess its production facilities. Consumer market customers typically purchase items more frequently and at lower dollar amounts. Another distinction between business and consumer markets is that products and services are customized for business customers, according to marketing consultants at Dobney.com. For example, an advertising agency may track ad results for one firm and not another one. Most consumers goods are not custom-made: A package of peanuts is priced for all consumers, and each consumer who pays that price receives an identical package of peanuts.
Target Market
Companies must sometimes further segment their markets. For example, not all women buy high-end dresses. A high-end dress shop may conduct market research to determine which women are most likely to buy expensive dresses. Subsequently, the high-end dress shop owner may find that women from age 40 to 54 with incomes over $100,000 are her primary customers. The shop owner might then focus on attracting women 40 to 54 with higher incomes. Companies are better off finding a particular niche in the market, whether attracting customers with lower prices or high quality name brands.
Market Availability
Companies must make their products available for customers in order for customers to buy them. For example, consumer products companies usually sell their products through retail grocery, drug and mass merchandiser stores. High-end plumbing supply manufacturers often use kitchen and bath showrooms to display their wares, such as sinks, bathtubs and the hardware that accompanies them. Companies study where competitors are marketing their products to ensure the proper distribution channels. Another way to determine correct distribution channels is through surveys seeking customer input.
Market as a Verb
The term "market" is also a verb that means to promote or advertise a product. Companies market their businesses through many different media, including the Internet, direct mail, magazines, radio, television and the distribution of fliers. Most companies market their products and services using a combination of different media, such as television and magazine display ads.

So wrong, yet so right! Chris Pratt and Jimmy Fallon belted out some tunes during The Tonight Show on Friday, April 25 — with a silly catch! The duo played a round of "nonsense karaoke," which replaced the songs actual lyrics with, well, nonsense.
The Jurassic World actor started it off with Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' ever-so catchy hit "Uptown Funk." Fallon, of course, couldn't help but jump in for a hilarious duet.
"Arm pit is ice cold / Egg shell diaper, that's quite old / This one, for them drunk squirrels / Them drunk squirrels love Aspercreme," Pratt sings. "Cryin' while you snuggle it up with a kitty."
Anna Faris' love and the late-night host, 40, continued to make the audience laugh with renditions of Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" and Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone."

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
After several months of privacy backlash, search engine and advertising giant Google has launched a new Public Policy blog in an effort to create a open discussion about the issues that not only impact their business, but the internet overall.
Google hopes the new Public Policy blog will start the necessary conversations around issues including net neutrality, privacy, child online safety, copyright and trademark protection, content regulation, and so on.
While Google have been writing posts about these issues internally for several months, they've only just decided to open it up to the public, which is why the new blog already has so much content. According to the release post:
"We hope this blog will serve as a resource for policymakers around the world — including legislators, ministers, governors, city council members, regulators, and the staffers who support them — who are trying to enact sound government policies to foster free expression, promote economic growth, expand access to information, enable innovation, and protect consumers. We also hope (cliche alert) that this blog will promote real conversation, so we've enabled comments."
While the premise of the blog is great in theory, it does smell of a PR exercise in light of Google's recent publicity issues. They suggest the blog is aimed at policy makers, but it will be interesting to see how they respond, should readers make recommendations on how Google handles its data. "Don't be evil" – we'll see…

The British model/actress whose size is 34E reportedly will be the American magazine's hot babe in month September or October.
Playboy is to cash in on Kelly Brook's curvy body. The British model and girlfriend of rugby player Danny Cipriani has been offered $500,000 to strike an "arty" pose for the adult magazine, The Sun reported. She allegedly has accepted the challenge and will shoot her pics next month.
"This is a huge opportunity for Kelly who is without doubt one of the world's most beautiful women," a source told the tabloid. "Playboy is an iconic publication which is known across the world as a sophisticated title. Kelly can't wait as they are promising a very arty shoot."
An A-list photographer will work with the 30-year-old in a two-day shoot located in Mediterranean. Her work will then be featured in either the September or October issue.
"It's a real honour to be asked to do Playboy as obviously they are very picky about who they want," the source continued. "And by the same token it's a real coup for Playboy as there probably isn't a red-blooded male who won't be looking forward to the pictures."
FHM may have got ahead of Playboy in featuring the model in skimpy swimsuit. Brook is on the cover of the magazine's July issue, posing next to a lion.
Brook's appearances are associated to promotion of her latest movie "Piranha 3-D" which is due August 27 in U.S. theaters. "It's just a big, fun B-movie - lots of boobs, blood, gore and drama. I don't think I'll be getting any Oscars for," she said honestly on the potential of the movie directed by Alexandre Aja.

THE plan has been almost six months in the making and Gary Kennewell believes Conservatorium is poised to pull off a Railway Stakes heist at Ascot today.
The idea was concocted during Conservatorium's winter campaign in Queensland with everything since geared towards having the top-class South Australian at his peak for the $1 million race.
Conservatorium made his first trip across the Nullarbor last year, finishing fifth in the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes.
With the owners based in WA, the Morphettville trainer knew they wanted to return for another crack but it was only after his win in the Listed Eye Liner Stakes at Ipswich, that the possibility of running in the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) become realistic.
"We knew we wanted to come back to Perth again, but he just wasn't nippy enough to beat them in the Winterbottom," Kennewell said.
"So I thought we'd test him out to the mile..
"That's why we ran him in Centenary Mile, where Fire Up Fifi beat him by half a neck."
The whole spring campaign has been meticulously planned with the Railway Stakes in mind.
The last start win in the Group 2 Lee Steere Stakes was a bonus.
"That was a nice pick-up the other day," Kennewell said.
"If he can run well in this we'd be more than happy. If he could win then it would be Plan A completed.
"He's probably as good as I've ever had him. He looks like a beast."
It was a tough on-pace victory in the Lee Steere, but Kennewell will instruct Joe Bowditch to be flexible from barrier 10.
"They usually go pretty hard for the first 150-200m and then you get into the downhill run, so I want to be outside the leader early and then hopefully something comes around and give him a nice run," he said.
"If they go mad, he'll sit just off them. If they go steady then he'll be nice and handy all the way." Conservatorium is rated a $13 chance with TattsBet, just behind Smokin' Joey ($4.50), Longport ($6) and then Fire Up Fifi ($8).
Taking a line through the Centenary Stakes, Conservatorium meets Fire Up Fifi 2.5kg better for a half-neck defeat - making the South Australian terrific value.
Kennewell, who has two Group 1 placings with Conservatorium (second in this year's The Goodwood) and Tilt The Scales (third in the 2000 Salinger Stakes), is hoping to capture his first major.
"I'm pretty excited," he said.
"It's not very often you get to run in one, let alone be in one with a chance."

Ah yes Zelda, such an epic game, I would have them all by now if I earned more than I do now (Allowance). Then Nintendo came and announced Four Swords, for FREE. *squeals* And not only is it just for free, but they've improved the graphics and added a new play mode as well as 2 more dungeons. I wonder why people who troll Nintendo haven't starting worshiping them. Anyways onto four swords stuff(Awesome word).
1.Chambers of Insight
It's basically a dungeon tutorial, except without a boss. It's a real help and fills in the need for an instruction manual, although the game still comes with a digital one. HOORAY
2.Single Player
That's right, you can now play the game by yourself. The mode gives you control over 2 links, a green one and a red/purple/blue one. You can call the other link when he is far away by hitting X, doing this also makes the other link follow you, and you can switch between link's with L and R, you can also pick up the other link and throw him. The two links can push big blocks and pick up big boulders as well as cut through walls, switching between links is a major part in bosses so get used to it quickly if you want to defeat them easily.
3. Multiplayer is still Available
I haven't been able to test this function as all the people at my school think Zelda is a 4 year olds game. (Personally I don't see the fun in realistically shooting someones brains out.)
There are 4 main dungeons that you must complete to beat the game, Sea of Trees, Talus Cave, Death Mountain and Vaati's Palace. They are each generated at random but have the same theme each time. There are 7 dungeons in total on this version, 1 more than the original.
I have experienced 4 bosses, the ice boss, the fire boss, the forest boss and Vaati. Out of those Vaati is hardest and fire easiest. The forest boss makes you throw bombs into you colour of flower and then you have to pull 2 vines allowing you to throw a bomb into it's main body which will destroy it. The fire boss... um I kinda forgot, but I do know he's pretty easy. The ice boss makes you run at a slug things belly with a pair of pegasus boots, then I got confused and had to revive myself a few times by spending a few rupees, eventually I figured out you had to hit your colour even when you couldn't see it.
Vaati doesn't have much character in this game, and when I say that I mean he doesn't. He is a fairly difficult boss though, he consists of 2 stages, one where you have to throw bombs into his tornado that he creates to try and suck you in, and then you have to hit the flashing spheres when he sends them out. If you have a lot of rupees he's easy.
With the addition of the realm of memories you can now play parts of A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and The Legend of Zelda. After completing these levels you don the master sword and can shoot sword beams at full health .
I'll just list them and tell you what they do. Bombs:They blow up stuff. Bows and Arrows:They shoot stuff. Pegasus Boots:They make you run at stuff. Boomerang: It picks up stuff and stuns enemies. Magnetic Gloves:They are useful for pulling your friend across ditches and disarming enemies. Rocs Cape: It allows you to jump and glide. Gnat Hat: Allows you to become small to travel through small spaces. Oh yes and there is a Chain Chomp:Eats stuff. Oops almost forgot, the shield is still available
We have stalfos, keese, armos and I think there was a wizzrobe. There are other enemies but I can't name them... sorry
10.Why you should Download it.
First of all it's free, secondly it's Zelda, thirdly they've improved it for free. Why are you still sitting here, especially if you haven't downloaded it yet, DOWNLOAD IT NOW!

Exerpt from the Cancer Center Support Grant guidelines (PAR-13-386):
"Selection of members for a Center's Programs is one of the most critical decisions made by leadership. Functional and productive Programs select individuals for their scientific excellence and, just as importantly, for their commitment to work together to further the scientific goals of the Cancer Center. Some Program members may not hold peer-reviewed grants, but contribute to the research objectives of the Center in other important ways (e.g., development and implementation of Center's clinical activity, including authorship of clinical protocols, accrual of patients on interventional trials, and leadership roles in NCI National Clinical Trials Network studies), and these contributions should be recognized."
Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (CFCCC) membership is available to faculty at UCI or an affiliated university. To be considered, applicants must be eligible for principal investigator (PI) status on research proposals, have a predominant and productive interest in cancer or a related discipline, and be willing and able to contribute to CFCCC.
Each member is aligned with one CFCCC Research Program, and as such applicants must indicate on the application which program best fits with their primary area of interest. Current programs are:
The Cancer Center has three levels of membership:
A UC Irvine faculty member meeting at least one of the following criteria:
A UC Irvine faculty member meeting at least one of the following criteria:
A UC Irvine faculty member or researcher, or a faculty member of another institution who is not a member of another NCI-designated cancer center and who has a substantial collaboration with a CFCCC member(s), meeting at least one of the following criteria:
All categories of members are provided regular information, primarily through e-mail, about Center research activities, symposia, education and outreach, and other activities in furtherance of the Cancer Center mission. All categories of members, in addition, receive the following benefits:
As part of the cancer research community, the benefits received by Members entail certain responsibilities, namely:
Applications are initially reviewed by the appropriate program leaders and, if approved, are forwarded to CFCCC senior leadership for final approval.
Every two years, the status of all members will be reviewed for reappointment. In addition to meeting the criteria, a member's reappointment review will also evaluate ongoing activities associated with membership objectives.
In particular, consideration will be given to collaborative activities with members of the center's programs, attendance at membership meetings sponsored by the programs or by the center, participation in center research efforts, leadership in significant outside organizations engaged with cancer, participation in peer-review study sections or other demonstrations of interaction with the cancer program.
As a consequence of review, members may have their categorical membership changed or terminated.
To apply for membership, an investigator must submit the following materials via email to Brian McClendon (email@example.com):
Each application will first be screened for eligibility by the CFCCC Administrative Unit before review by the respective Program Leaders and, subsequently, the Senior Leadership Council for final approval. Incomplete applications will be returned for completion before review. The membership review process takes three to four weeks.

Mitt Romney joined congressional Republicans on Wednesday in attacking President Barack Obama's handling of debt and deficits, a strategy that carries both risks and rewards for the likely Republican presidential nominee.
As a new battle looms in Washington, Romney put the deficit at the heart of his campaign at an event in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he spoke in front of a counter that clocked up the constant increase of America's debt of $15.685 trillion.
Romney went after Obama for annual $1 trillion deficits, saying Obama had criticized his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, for deficit spending but has only made it worse.
"I find it incomprehensible that a president could come to office and call his predecessor's record irresponsible and unpatriotic, and then do almost nothing to fix it and instead every year to add more and more and more spending," Romney said.
Focusing on debt allows the former Massachusetts governor to widen the front in his assault on Obama's handling of the economy, after concentrating most of his fire until now on his opponent's unemployment record.
Romney's effort may be rewarded by drawing more support from Tea Party fiscal conservatives whose No.1 issue is reducing the size of government. Many of them were cool to Romney during the Republican primary campaign and flirted with conservative alternatives such as Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
But the risk for Romney is that his deficit rhetoric could be associated with House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, who was the politician mostly blamed from last year's damaging fight in Congress over the debt ceiling.
A New York Times poll last August found that 47 percent blamed congressional Republicans for taking the country to the edge of a debt default last summer in a dispute over raising the U.S. borrowing authority. Only 29 percent blamed Obama and his Democrats.
Republican Boehner reopened the fight this week and told Obama in a meeting on Wednesday that he would not allow another increase of the debt limit without spending cuts.
While Boehner has specific ideas of where he would cut, Romney is being far more vague to avoid raising the concerns of voters who might be reliant on government programs that congressional Republicans want to squeeze for savings.
This is especially important in the election battleground state of Florida, where many senior citizens are dependent on entitlement programs like Medicare for the elderly.
Romney is vowing to get the country on a path to a balanced budget by going after wasteful spending but is not offering many details.
In St. Petersburg, he vowed to put every federal program under the microscope to determine whether each is so important that it is essential to "borrow money from China" to pay for them.
He said he would work to repeal the Obama-led overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system, which he said is contributing to the debt, and would send many programs back to the states for handling.
Likening the debt crisis to a prairie fire that needs extinguishing, Romney said he would take responsibility and "put it out."
"It's high time that we have a president who is going to stop this spending and borrowing inferno," he said.
The deficit is likely to grow as a campaign issue because Congress will be faced with another request from the Treasury Department at the end of this year to raise the U.S. debt ceiling.

Etsy seller Bohemian Workbench is clearly a fan of Karl Pilkington, who you may know from his very quotable appearances on An Idiot Abroad and The Ricky Gervais Show. I wonder what he would have to say about a coffee table based on his big round head?
Crafted from birch with hand carved walnut accents, the 34″ wide table is emblazoned with a caricature of Pilkington's head and comes equipped with a glass top. However, the $1,300 price tag makes it clear that this level of fandom doesn't come cheap.
On that note, Coffee Table Karl's expression sums things up nicely. In that way, it's much like the man himself. Check out more pics below.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two U.S. lawmakers have introduced legislation to create a new body that would have the final say on accounting standards, possibly paving the way for a more business-friendly accounting environment.
The Federal Accounting Oversight Board (FAOB) envisioned by the bill would not replace the Financial Accounting Standards Board but would approve the standards and determine how they should be applied.
The bill introduced late on Thursday by Democratic Representative Ed Perlmutter of Colorado and Republican Frank Lucas of Oklahoma was welcomed by a banking industry group but and drew criticism from an investor advocate.
Some U.S. banks and lawmakers have urged regulators to ease mark-to-market accounting rules that have triggered billions of dollars in writedowns and blamed by some for impeding the economic recovery effort.
But investors are concerned that relaxing accounting standards could lead to financial manipulation and less reliable information in company reports.
The new five-member board would include top regulators from the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
"As we work to stabilize financial markets and rebuild the economy, we must look closely at the regulatory structure to see what is helping and what is making things worse," Perlmutter said.
The proposed legislation does not yet have a companion bill in the Senate.
The FAOB would oversee the application of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to the financial markets and would consider how to adjust the application of the standards for different assets and different market conditions.
The American Bankers Association voiced support for the legislation, saying the financial crisis has escalated concerns over the narrow focus of the SEC and FASB's oversight for accounting standards.
"The current framework for accounting oversight, though well intentioned, has proved inadequate and must be fundamentally revised," ABA President Ed Yingling said in a statement.
But Barbara Roper, director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America, said allowing banks to continue to place inflated values on their assets would only delay the day of reckoning. "Pretty much everything about this bill is concerning," she told Reuters.
Mark-to-market, or fair value, accounting rules have forced banks to dramatically mark down the values of their assets as markets for mortgage-related securities have dried up, making them virtually worthless by accounting rules even though they are still producing revenue.
Some critics have urged the SEC and FASB to significantly alter or suspend the accounting rule, saying it is undermining the government's multibillion-dollar effort to stabilize the financial sector.
Proponents of mark-to-market accounting, which fully went into effect in November 2007, say the rules provide transparency and that abandoning the rules would only mask firms' weaknesses.
A House financial services subcommittee plans to hold a hearing on mark-to-market accounting on March 12. The SEC's chief accountant and the chairman of the FASB are expected to testify.

DeMarco Murray is second in the NFL with 756 rushing yards, but the Tennessee Titans still want rookie Derrick Henry involved on offense.
The Titans drafted Henry in the second round this past spring.
"We'd like to get him more involved," Mike Mularkey said. "That's [dependent on] how the flow of the game is going to go."
Henry saw a season-high 16 carries last week as Murray dealt with a toe injury.

KENT -- President Donald Trump has concluded his first few weeks in office and with it comes a sense of heightened tension between him and the media.
With Trump's negative depiction of the media and talk of "alternative facts" and "fake news," journalists are facing a challenge of doing their jobs while so much negativity is being aimed their way.
Kent State University discussed what professional and student journalists can do to fight the stereotypes being directed toward them.
A panel discussion -- "Journalism's Way Forward" -- took place recently at Franklin Hall in front of a packed audience of faculty, students and the public.
The discussion was moderated by WKYC's Russ Mitchell and featured three KSU professors -- Jacquie Marino, Chance York and Cheryl Ann Lambert. Connie Schultz, a JMC professional-in-residence, Pulitzer Prize winner and nationally syndicated columnist, was also on the panel.
Cleveland.com's political reporter Henry Gomez rounded out the group. The panel talked of ways to move forward for about an hour and took student questions afterwards.
York expressed his confusion as to why Trump feels the need to "be at war" with the media.
"I don't understand why Mr. Trump is so upset with the media," York said. "When you look at the numbers, they were very helpful to him. CNN gave him around-the-clock coverage.
"I don't know why there is a war going on. People need to remain educated. It helps to have parents watch and discuss the news with their children."
Schultz discussed the fact that journalists have an obligation to tell the truth, especially now.
"The American public is feeling lied to and they would appreciate it if we say that," Schultz said. "We have to call out lies, but we have to do so much more than just yell out 'liar, liar, liar!" Schultz said.
Marino expressed her excitement that student journalists and the national media have stood their ground against Trump and his administration so far.
"We're not comfortable," Marino said. "We're pushing. Students aren't backing down. They are pushing in. There's this sense of fearlessness and it's awesome.
"The New York Times and other media outlets have stepped up their coverage. I'm optimistic we are going to see some incredible journalism moving forward."
Gomez touched on key aspects of reporting and making sure that not everything that is read online is accurate news.
"People throw up the wall and we need to run right through them," Gomez said. "We need to be careful of what we see on the internet and what we report. Twitter is dangerous. Twitter contributes to some of the problems in political journalism right now.
"Just because we see a story on the internet, that doesn't mean it's always an accurate one."
Mitchell ended the discussion by reminding the student-journalists that while it is important to do their jobs, it's also important to make sure they are enjoying themselves.
"Be careful, be curious and be engaged," Mitchell said. "But at the end of the day, have fun."

Lin-7 PDZ proteins, also called MALS or Velis, have been shown to coordinate basolateral membrane expression of various target proteins in renal epithelial cell models. Three different Lin-7/MALS/Veli isoforms, encoded by separate genes, have been identified. Here, we show that each Lin-7/MALS/Veli isoform is expressed in the kidney. Using MALS isoform-specific antibodies in combination with cell-specific marker antibodies, we found the products of the three mammalian Lin-7/MALS/Veli genes are differentially expressed along the length of the nephron. MALS/Veli 1 is predominately expressed in the glomerulus, thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL), and the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). MALS/Veli 2 is exclusively expressed in the vasa recta. MALS/Veli 3 is largely located in the DCT and collecting duct. The subcellular localization of MALS/Veli proteins can vary, depending on the isoform and the cell type. In contrast to the predominate basolateral location of MALS/Veli 1 in the TAL and DCT and MALS/Veli 3 in the DCT, MALS/Veli 1 is found diffusely throughout the cytosol of intercalated cells. In the collecting duct, MALS/Veli 3 is chiefly located on the basal membrane. Collectively, these results suggest that different MALS/Veli isoforms may carry out cell type-specific functions. The TAL and distal segments appear to have the most significant capacity for a basolateral membrane-targeting mechanism involving different MALS/Veli isoforms.

pdz-domain proteins play important roles in establishing and maintaining an asymmetric distribution of membrane proteins in polarized epithelial cells. Named after the homologous group of proteins in which they were originally identified [PSD 95, a postsynaptic density protein; Dlg (Drosophila Disc large); and ZO-1], PDZ domains are ∼90 amino acid protein-interaction modules (13) that bind short protein motifs generally (31), but not always (11, 12), found at the extreme COOH terminus of target proteins. Proteins containing PDZ domains usually possess multiple protein-protein interaction domains, allowing them to orchestrate mutlimeric complex formation on specific membrane domains (10). The molecular scaffolding function is also well suited for polarized sorting and retention operations of target proteins. Lin-7 provides a prototypical example.
Early evidence of a PDZ protein that can coordinate the polarized targeting of its interacting protein partners evolved from the identification of Lin-7 and two other PDZ-protein genes, Lin-2 and Lin-10, in Caenorhabditus elegans (15). The products of these genes form a protein complex that coordinates the expression of a receptor tyrosine kinase, Let-23, on the basolateral membrane of vulva progenitor cells (VPC). Null mutations in Lin-7, Lin-2, or Lin-10 cause the Let-23 receptor to become mislocalized to the apical membrane and disrupt VPC development. Studies to deduce the mechanism revealed that Lin-7 serves the primary role in localizing Let-23. This small protein is composed of an NH2-terminal L27 interaction module (7, 8) and a COOH-terminal PDZ domain, allowing it to interact directly with the receptor through a canonical type 1 PDZ interaction and simultaneously bind to Lin-2 via an L27 interaction (15, 30). Lin-2 (26), a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family (1), recruits Lin-10 to the complex via a separate interaction domain (2). Because Lin-10 can interact with microtubule motors (28) and Munc-18 docking machinery (4) in other systems, this component is generally believed to provide a basolateral membrane targeting and fusion function to intracellular vesicles containing the Lin-7/Lin-2/Lin-10 complex. Once docked, Lin-2 can interact with extracellular matrix receptors and the cytoskeleton (5). Consequently, the complex has the capacity to anchor Lin-7 interacting proteins, like Let-23, on the basolateral membrane.
Orthologous gene products (Lin-7 = Veli/MALS; Lin-2 = CASK; Lin-10 = Mint-1/X11) in mammalian systems form multimeric protein complexes that are similar to those initially identified in C. elegans. (2, 4). In the kidney, several Lin-7/Veli/MALS interacting proteins have been identified (20, 23, 24) and shown to depend on their PDZ binding motifs and/or CASK interaction (20, 32) for efficient basolateral membrane localization. While consistent with an evolutionary conserved polarization mechanism, there are some divergence and added complexity in mammalian renal epithelia. First, the closest mammalian Lin-10 ortholog, Mint-1, is not expressed in the mammalian kidney (2, 22), indicating that the Mint module is dispensable for polarized targeting in renal epithelia (23). Second, a group of CASK-like MAGUK proteins, all containing L27 heterodimerizaton domains, have been identified as potential partners of Lin-7/Veli/MALS (16, 35). Further increasing the potential for complexity, Lin-7 is actually represented by three different isoforms, encoded by separate genes. In mammalian systems, these are called Lin-7A/B/C or Veli 1, 2, 3 [vertebrate Lin-7 (4) or MALS 1, 2, 3 (for mammalian Lin seven) (14)]. Because there is a clear concordance between the names of MALS and Veli isoforms (MALS 1, 2, 3 = Veli 1, 2, 3) in mice, rats, and humans, we refer to the mammalian Lin-7 orthologs using the MALS/Veli nomenclature.
As a first step to more fully understand the function of the MALS/Veli isoforms in the mammalian kidney, the present studies were undertaken to determine where they are expressed as has been done for a number of other PDZ proteins in the kidney (3, 9, 34, 36), expanding an earlier study (33). Interestingly, we find that each MALS/Veli protein is differently localized along the length of the nephron. Furthermore, these proteins display distinct subcellular distribution patterns, depending on the isoform and the cell type. Collectively, these results suggest that MALS/Veli isoforms may perform different cellular tasks.
Immunofluorescence and Confocal Microscopy
Fixation of male 129/SvEv mouse and Sprague-Dawley rat kidneys was achieved by perfusion via the heart or abdominal aorta, respectively. Kidneys were perfused with PBS for 2 min to flush blood before fixation with paraformaldehyde (2%, 5- to 30-min perfusion) and cryoprotection (10% EDTA in 0.1 M Tris, 2-min perfusion). The use of animals followed the American Physiological Society's Guiding Principles in the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and procedures approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Kidney sections (12 μm) were cut using a cryostat, placed on coverslips that were coated with HistoGrip (Zymed), and stored at −80°C. To perform immunolocalization, sections were first rehydrated with PBS and then treated with 6 M guanadine·HCl to unmask protein epitopes. Kidney sections were then washed three times in a high-salt buffer (PBS containing 1% BSA and 385 mM NaCl), blocked (PBS containing 1% BSA and 50 mM glycine), and incubated overnight with primary antibodies (10 μg/μl) at 4°C in PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA and 0.02% NaN3. Sections were then washed at room temperature with the high-salt buffer (5× at 5-min intervals, one time for 15 min, and once for 30 min) to remove nonspecific binding. Alexa 488- and 568-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:100) were incubated for 2 h at 4°C in PBS containing with 0.1% BSA and 0.02% NaN3. Sections were then washed as described above, mounted onto slides in VectaShield, and sealed with nail polish.
To determine cellular localization of proteins, cells were visualized using the Zeiss 410 confocal laser-scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss) under a ×63 oil-immersion lens.
Isoform-specific anti-MALS/Veli antibodies were raised against MALS/Veli isoform-specific sequences in rabbits as described previously (21). Polyclonal antibodies to the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel (LC54) and the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (LC20) were raised in chickens. The antibody to the Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) was raised in guinea pigs (GP16). LC54 was previously described (36), and LC20 was raised in chickens to the same NH2-terminal peptide as an antibody raised in rabbits (L320) and previously described (17). GP16 was previously described (6). The Na-K-ATPase α-subunit antibody was purchased from Upstate Biotechnology.
Mouse kidney RNA (∼5 μg) was reversed transcribed using oligo dT (15 mer) and SuperScript III RT (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's recommendations. PCR was carried out using the first-strand mouse kidney cDNA (RT+) or RNA (RT−) as a template and primers corresponding to MALS isoform-specific sequences (MALS/Veli 1 forward primer, ATTGACAGTGGTCCAGCCGCTTAC, MALS/Veli 1 reverse primer TGTTGCTGCTGCTGAATGAGC); MALS/Veli 2 forward COS cells were grown at 37°C in 5% CO2 in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, and 10 mM HEPES. Cells were transfected with the pCDNA vector containing either the MALS/Veli 1, MALS/Veli 2, or MALS/Veli 3 cDNAs using the Lipofectamine-Plus protocol according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Forty-eight hours posttransfection, cells were washed once with ice-cold PBS, harvested, pelleted (2,000 g for 5 min), and resuspended (∼5× the cell pellet volume) in PBS containing 1% Triton X-100 and a protease inhibitor cocktail (10 μg/ml antipain, 10 μg/ml leupeptin, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, and 10 μg/ml pepstatin A). Proteins were separated on a 10% SDS polyacrylamide gel and transferred to nitrocellulose (Amersham). For Western blotting, membranes were blocked in 3% BSA and then incubated with either the MALS/Veli 1, 2 (0.5 μg/ml), or MALS/Veli 3 antibodies (1:2,000) in 3% BSA followed by incubation with an horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary system (Amersham).
Expression of MALS/Veli Isoforms in the Kidney
To determine which MALS/Veli isoforms are expressed in the kidney, reverse transcription and PCR were performed with mouse kidney mRNA and MALS/Veli isoform-specific primers. As resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized by ethidium-bromide staining, reaction products of predicted size (615 bp for MALS/Veli 1, 482 bp for MALS/Veli 2, and 461 bp for MALS/Veli 3) were readily amplified from first-strand kidney cDNA using each of the MALS/Veli isoform-specific primers (Fig. 1A). No amplification products were detected when mRNA rather than cDNA was used as a template (RT−), ruling out spurious genomic amplification. Restriction enzyme digestion produced expected size fragments for each of the MALS/Veli PCR amplicons (MALS/Veli 1+BsoBI 270, 345 bp; MALS/Veli 2+BsoBI 243, 239 bp; MALS/Veli 3+BseRI, 198, 263 bp), providing further evidence of MALS/Veli isoform identity (Fig. 1B). Thus each of the three MALS/Veli isoforms is expressed in the kidney.
Characterization of MALS/Veli Isoform-Specific Antibodies
MALS/Veli antibodies were raised against unique COOH-terminal amino acid sequences found in each MALS/Veli isoform as described previously (21). To validate antibody specificity, COS cells were transiently transfected with expression vectors containing MALS/Veli 1, MALS/Veli 2, or MALS/Veli 3 cDNAs. Proteins from COS cell lysates were resolved by SDS-PAGE and then analyzed by immunoblotting with each of the different MALS/Veli antibodies. As shown in Fig. 2A, each of the MALS/Veli antibodies specifically recognizes the cognate MALS/Veli protein without detecting the other MALS/Veli isoforms. Thus the MALS/Veli antibodies are isoform specific. Consistent with this notion, each of the antibodies exclusively detects an appropriately sized protein in the native kidney (Fig. 2B).
Immunolocalization of MALS Isoforms in the Kidney
To determine the cellular localization of MALS/Veli proteins in the kidney, immunohistochemical analysis of rat and mouse kidney sections was performed using the MALS/Veli isoform-specific antibodies described above in combination with antibodies to identify particular renal epithelial cells. Because similar localization patterns were seen in mouse and rat kidney, we present our observations in the rat kidney for consistency.
MALS/Veli 1.
We found that MALS/Veli 1 is expressed along the length of the nephron, but labeling is particularly strong in the glomerulus (Fig. 3A), thick ascending limb (TAL; Fig. 3C, green), and distal convoluted tubules (DCT; Fig. 3D, green). A peptide absorption control demonstrates that an excess of peptide blocks labeling by the anti-MALS/Veli 1 antibody (Fig. 3B). The labeling pattern in the glomerulus is consistent with localization in glomerular epithelial cells. Strong expression of MALS/Veli 1 in cells containing the NKCC2 transporter (Fig. 3C, red) verifies localization within the TAL. In this segment, the MALS/Veli 1 antibody predominately decorates an infolded structure opposite the apical membrane, consistent with preponderant expression along the basolateral membrane. Indeed, while some cytoplasmic localization cannot be entirely ruled out, MALS/Veli 1 antibody labeling largely tracks with the Na-K-ATPase (Fig. 3, D and E). As evidenced by colocalization in cells expressing NCC (Fig. 3F, red), MALS/Veli 1 is also expressed in the DCT. Similar to the TAL, the MALS/Veli 1 antibody primarily labels the basolateral membrane in the DCT (Fig. 3F, green). Relative to the TAL and DCT, the cortical and medullary collecting duct principal cells (AQP2-positive cells, Fig. 3G, red) are weakly labeled with the anti-MALS/Veli I antibody (Fig. 3G, green; Fig. 3H, white), similar to the weak basolateral membrane labeling in the proximal tubule (not shown). On the other hand, labeling of the intercalated cells of the outer (Fig. 3G, green; Fig. 3H, white, AQP2-negative cells) and inner (Fig. 4, green) medullary collecting duct is more intense. Interestingly, MALS/Veli 1 is found diffusely throughout the cytosol of intercalated cells in contrast to the basolateral location in other nephron segments.
MALS/Veli 2.
Having established the distribution of MALS/Veli 1 in the kidney, we next investigated renal expression of MALS/Veli 2. In contrast to MALS/Veli 1, the MALS/Veli 2 antibody shows little to no labeling of the nephron. Instead, MALS/Veli 2 is predominately expressed in the vasa recta. A typical example is provided in Fig. 5, showing an outer medullary kidney section stained with antibodies against MALS/Veli 2 and the NKCC2 cotransporter. The anti-NKCC2 cotransporter antibody sharply labels the apical membrane of cells in the TAL (Fig. 5A, red). In contrast, MALS/Veli 3 antibodies only label the adjacent thin-walled structures of the vascular bundles (VB) in the outer medulla (Fig. 5A, green). No labeling is detected on antibody absorption with the cognate MALS/Veli 2 peptide (Fig. 5B).
Finally, the anti-MALS/Veli 3-specific antibody was used to examine the distribution of MALS3 in the kidney. Figure 6A shows colabeling of MALS/Veli 3 and AQP2 in the outer medulla. In contrast to the predominant expression of MALS/Veli 1 in collecting duct intercalated cells, the anti-MALS/Veli 3 antibody brightly labels the basolateral membrane of both principal and intercalated cells in the outer medullary collecting duct (green). A similar pattern is seen in the cortical collecting duct. In both cortical and medullary collecting ducts, MALS/Veli 3 labeling is particularly striking along the basal membrane. MALS/Veli 3 appears to be similarly expressed in principal cells (AQP2-positive cells, red) and intercalated cells in the collecting duct.
The MALS/Veli 3 antibody also brightly labels cells coexpressing the NCC (Fig. 6C, red), consistent with MALS/Veli 3 expression in DCT cells (Fig. 6C, green). In this segment, MALS/Veli 3 is expressed uniformly along the basolateral membrane. Compared with the intense labeling in the collecting duct and DCT, the basolateral membrane of the TAL is only weakly labeled with the MALS/Veli 3 antibody (Fig. 6B).
The diagram in Fig. 7 summarizes the distribution of MALS/Veli proteins in rat and mouse kidney; cross-hatching represents regions of bright labeling, and stripes represent areas of weaker labeling. In the diagram for MALS/Veli 1 expression, dark circles in the collecting duct represent intense labeling in intercalated cells.
The major finding of this study is that the products of the three mLin-7/MALS/Veli genes are differentially expressed along the length of the nephron. These observations are reminiscent of the distribution of MALS/Veli in the brain, where individual isoforms discreetly localize within specific neuronal populations (21). In addition to the heterogeneous expression of MALS/Veli in the kidney, we also found that the subcellular localization of MALS/Veli proteins can vary with their expression in different renal epithelial cell types. Collectively, these results suggest that different MALS/Veli isoforms may carry out cell type-specific functions in the kidney.
Recent biochemical and cell biological studies in renal epithelial culture models indicate that the MALS/Veli family of proteins function to coordinate the expression of specific target proteins on the basolateral membrane. According to our present understanding, L27 and PDZ protein-protein interaction modules in MALS/Veli proteins provide the mechanism. The MALS L27 domain is required for basolateral localization and interaction with CASK, the mammalian ortholog of Lin-2 (33). CASK associates with the basolateral membrane through a web of interactions, forming a mutimeric complex that has the capacity to act as a stable basolateral membrane anchor. Indeed, multiple protein-protein interaction sites allow CASK to simultaneously bind to MALS/Veli, extracellular matrix receptors (5), adhesion molecules (4), the actin cytoskeleton (5, 18), and another MAGUK protein termed SAP97 (18). Consequently, MALS/Veli proteins appear to recruit and stabilize PDZ target proteins at the basolateral membrane proteins by simultaneously interacting with CASK.
Available evidence is consistent with such a mechanism for proteins that interact with the PDZ domain of MALS/Veli in MDCK cells, including the epithelial GABA transporter BGT-1 (24), inward rectifer potassium channels Kir 2.3 (23) and Kir 2.2 (20), as well as ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases (29). Indeed, Perego et al. (24) found that removing the PDZ ligand in BGT-1 disrupted MALS/Veli association and dramatically increased the internalization of the transporter from the plasmalemma, consistent with a PDZ-dependent retention mechanism. Similarly, mutant Kir 2.3 channels, lacking the PDZ binding motif, are largely directed to an endosomal compartment (23) rather than the basolateral membrane (19). A similar missorting phenotype is observed with Kir 2.2 when MALS/Veli interaction with CASK is disrupted (20). Interestingly, removing the PDZ binding site from a chimeric LET-23/ nerve growth factor receptor protein (32) produces an apical-missorting phenotype. In this case, MALS-Veli interaction appears to stabilize the receptor on the basolateral membrane or limit postendocytic trafficking in such a way that it prevents transcytosis to the apical membrane.
The results of the present study strongly suggest that the MALS/Veli-dependent basolateral membrane targeting mechanism may be more significant in the TAL and distal segments than in the proximal tubule, corroborating previous observations (33). Certainly, we found that MALS/Veli 1 is predominately expressed in the TAL and DCT, whereas MALS/Veli 3 is largely expressed in the DCT and collecting duct. Of note, MALS 3 is chiefly located on the basal membrane of the collecting duct, contrasting the more uniform basolateral location of MALS/Veli 3 in the DCT and MALS/Veli 1 in the TAL and DCT. Importantly, the collective expression pattern of all MALS/Veli isoforms, reported here, generally agrees with observations of Straight et al. (33). Using an antibody that was raised against the whole mLin-7 protein, which presumably detects all MALS/Veli forms, this group of investigators showed that MALS/Veli proteins colocalize with CASK on the basolateral membrane of the TAL, distal tubule, and collecting duct as well as the glomerulus.
In contrast to previous observations with the pan-specific antibody (33), we also found intense labeling of MALS/Veli 1 and MALS/Veli 3 antibodies within the intercalated cell, a cell type well known to mediate acid-base transport (27). Because methodological aspects of both immunolocalization studies are identical, it is likely that differences in labeling are a consequence of differences in epitope recognition and accessibility rather than procedural differences. While future studies are required to precisely define the interaction partners and functions of the MALS/Veli isoforms in intercalated cells, the differential localization of MALS/Veli 1 and MALS/Veli 3 in these cells raises the possibility that the different MALS/Veli isoforms may play disparate roles in acid-base balance. Significantly, MALS/Veli 1 is expressed throughout the cytoplasm in inner medullary collecting duct intercalated cells, dramatically different from the prevailing basolateral localization in other cell types.
The different subcellular localization patterns of MALS/Veli proteins may arise from cell-specific expression of different MALS/Veli binding partners, isoform-specific binding preferences, or, more likely, a combination of the two. Although it is not known whether different MALS/Veli isoforms have distinct functions, the divergence in primary structure provides some clues. The MALS/Veli PDZ domains are very similar, exhibiting 91% amino acid sequence identity among the three isoforms. In fact, residues predicted to form a type I PDZ binding pocket (31) are absolutely conserved. Other regions, including the extreme NH2 and COOH termini, are much more different. Most importantly, perhaps, the L27 interaction modules exhibit only 57% amino acid identify between isoforms, raising the possibility that different isoforms preferentially bind to different L27 domain proteins. A group of CASK-like MUGAK proteins, all containing L27 heterodimerizaton domains, have been identified as potential partners of Lin-7 (PALS) (16, 35). The observation provides reason to suspect that different PALS might substitute for CASK under certain circumstances, forming MALS/Veli complexes with different subcellular locations and disparate functions. For instance, Pals1 might target Lin-7 to the tight junction (25), in contrast to the basolateral membrane location of the CASK/Lin-7 complex (33).
In conclusion, we have found that MALS/Veli isoforms are differentially localized along the length of the nephron. The observation provides reason to suggest that different MALS/Veli isoforms carry out cell-type specific functions. Based on the localization, the TAL and distal segments appear to have the most significant capacity for a basolateral membrane-targeting mechanism, involving different MALS/Veli isoforms.

"If disinflation happens in much faster rate than anticipated and we believe we can finish this period with the appropriate amount of final disinflation, we certainly will be in position to cut the interest rate at that time," Rajan told researchers and analyst at the post-policy conference call. Explaining, he said a "good" budget focusing on the already-on fiscal consolidation by reducing subsidies and improving investments would be helpful on inflationary front.
"A good budget, action on agriculture support prices, reduction in subsidies and perhaps targeting more investment would be helpful on the inflationary front."
The Governor noted "we are in early days in the disinflationary process, we have to see how it works out, but we are hopeful that it would play out well." Rajan said he would like monetary policy to be stable and not react to every incoming data.
"We would want to have stable monetary policy. To the extent that we find the substantial amount of room builds up before the interim target (of CPI) is reached, the question would then be should we cut tremendously now but then run the risk of not reaching the final target, and the general intent would be a smoother process.
"However, to the extent that we have substantial room that builds up, that would prevent any further hikes in the anticipate, and that would be useful," Rajan said.RBI-appointed Urijit Patel panel, in its report, has set CPI target of 8 per cent by 2015 and 6 per cent by 2016.
The apex bank has tried to forecast consumer price index and is setting interest rates with idea that it would achieve a certain level of CPI at a particular time, he said. "Which means that we are willing to look through the transient increases in CPI or transient decline in CPI, once such transient decline could be because of base effect. We are willing to look through these with the view of achieving a medium-term goal that we have set," Rajan said.

The Montana State Prison does not have an "English only" letter policy for its inmates, just a lack of funding to employ an interpreter who can ensure that foreign-language correspondence doesn't include plots or threats, state officials said Friday.
The court filing by two special assistant attorneys general on behalf of the Department of Corrections was made in response to an inmate's claim that prison officials violated his constitutional rights by withholding letters written to him in Spanish by his friends and family.
Prison officials say incoming mail represents a threat and must be screened to maintain safety and security. If mail is written in code or any language not understood by prison personnel, it is returned to the sender, the prison's policy states.
"Inmate correspondence can be used to plot threats to the facility, its staff, other inmates and the public at large," the state's court filing reads. "Inmate correspondence written in code or in a language which prison officials cannot understand can be used to facilitate the commission of blackmail, extortion, escape plans, trafficking in contraband and prison assaults and disturbances."
William Diaz-Wassmer, a 26-year-old Guatemala native, said in his lawsuit filed June 30 that the prison has an English-only letter policy that violates his constitutional rights of free speech and equal protection.
The lawsuit named as defendants Corrections Director Mike Ferriter, Montana State Prison warden Mike Mahoney, prison security manager Tom Wood and mail room supervisor Denise DeYott.
The defendants say the policy applies equally to all prisoners, and nowhere in it is the word "English" used.
"While it is true that prisoner do not lose all of their constitutional rights upon incarceration, some rights retained by free citizens are lost or necessarily diminished by imprisonment," their response reads
The prison at Deer Lodge used to employ a security worker who also volunteered to translate Spanish-language letters. But nobody else has come forward to do the job since that employee retired last year, and with a shrinking budget, the prison doesn't have funds to pay for a new interpreter, according to the state's filing.
Diaz-Wassmer is being represented by the Montana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. ACLU attorney Betsy Griffing said it doesn't matter whether the actual words "English only" are included in the prison policy _ that's the effect of the policy.
"This policy doesn't just affect Mr. Diaz-Wassmer, if affects all the inmates who don't have English as their primary language," Griffing said.
The ACLU will ask during the case's discovery period for the exact number of Montana inmates who don't speak English as a first language and who have had letters withheld as a result of the policy, she said.
Diaz-Wassmer was convicted in 2007 of killing and robbing a Livingston woman and then setting her house on fire to cover up the crimes. He was sentence to 160 years in the Deer Lodge prison.
