The Center for Food Safety recently filed a formal legal petition with FDA demanding that the agency require the labeling of genetically engineered foods. Now, we are spearheading a drive with over 350 other organizations and businesses in the Just Label It! Campaign, to direct one million comments to the FDA in support of our petition.


Unsuspecting consumers by the tens of millions are being allowed to purchase and consume unlabeled genetically engineered foods, despite the fact that FDA undertakes no testing of its own, instead relying only on a voluntary consultation with industry and confidential industry data to assure safety. Internal FDA documents discovered in prior CFS litigation actually indicated the foods could pose serious risks, but those views were overruled.

Genetically engineered foods are required to be labeled in the 15 European Union nations, Russia, Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, and many other countries around the world. A recent poll released by ABC News found that 93 percent of the American public wants the federal government to require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. As ABC News stated, “Such near-unanimity in public opinion is rare.” Yet the United States is one of the only countries in the world that doesn’t require labeling of GE food!

In the U.S., we pride ourselves on having choices and making informed decisions. Under current FDA regulations, we don't have that choice when it comes to GE ingredients in the foods we purchase and feed our families.

Americans have been asking Congress to pass a labeling law for more than 10 years, to no avail. It’s time to take the fight back to FDA—bigger and louder than ever before.

IF YOU ARE SOMEBODY
By Ranu Khare


If you are somebody
What you speak and do
Is weighed appropriately

Every action in jest
Words spoken in vain
Trigger a reaction
Unknown, untamed
Sometimes a twitter
Sometimes a flame

What is sown
is what is reaped
Life is the outcome
of one’s words and deeds

Where pride controls
Wisdom is lost
Where wealth is priority
Compassion is lost

Envy and Anger
Destroy trust and friendship
If Love is lost - All is lost.

The Orissa Real Estate business has noticed a remarkable growth and so it has also been the need of the Real Estate agents. Nowadays a large number of people are interested to become home owners and with this raise of demand for real estate, the role of a real estate agent becomes all the more significant .Long time back the service provided, was by these single agent who use to offer service to both the suppliers and consumers. But with the fast changing pace of this real estate market, made people understand that specialized service is a better option and beneficial too. Even in the Real Estate industry the buyer/seller are on a hunt for dedicated agents who can offer expert related knowledge, information and all other services necessary to complete the process. In fact when a real estate agent represents both buyer and seller, it really limits the risk of providing impartial service to either party.

The state of Orissa located in the eastern region of India. This state is known for its rich mineral content. And this one of the main reason that has invited more sectors into the state, such as refineries, aluminum, and infrastructure, steel , power etc. In fact it is seen that the IT sector of the state is emerging and might be a huge source of income for the state as well as the nation Thus, these are few main reasons for the growing demand for Orissa Real Estate in the market. The majority of investor and developers are looking for an ideal property deal in Orissa, as this will be profitable for them.


When it comes to industries then the Orissa Real Estate cannot be ignored, because of the diverse sectors such as refineries, power, infrastructure etc all this makes the state important enough to be recognized as all these sectors are well established. Besides, these the IT sector is also reaching on top gradually. In one word the “real estate scenario” in Orissa is undoubtedly rush forward in future.

The commercial sector is also a Bang on for the state of Orissa. The smaller markets are fast changing into huge malls and this trend has reached both the rural as well as the urban areas. The contribution of the so called middle class is also a major reason for the development of the commercial sector, as the rise of income plays a vital part for these sectors. A large number of investors and developers are making huge profits by investing in the commercial sector. Hence, these are few major developments that are taking place in Orissa. The industrialization has made a way much easier for a great demand for the Orissa Real Estate. Well now the real estate investors are on a look out for a perfect property to invest in Orissa.

As far as the real estate agent of the buyer is concerned, it’s his duty to search for a right home along with the required information about the area. The main points seen when a buyer is investigating to buy a Orissa real estate property in new society, he wants to find out some information linked to that particular community to name some like population, school, crime , climate, traffic, living standards etc. The important thing for the Buyer's real estate agent is the awareness about the quieres of the buyer; he should have a sound knowledge about them. This information in turn makes it easy for the buyer to come to a conclusion. The moment there is an agreement from the buyer to buy a real estate property in the district then other part of the real estate agent's duty begins. Being a buyer's agent it is his very first duty to find a real estate property, as per buyers requisite. At the same time it is also the buyer's real estate agents work to discuss the top market price with the seller.

Hello, my friends!

I am focusing on creating what they call a "new normal."

I can't even explain it, so how can I create it?
Prayer and lots of it! (smile)
Love always and all ways,

from hardening of the ego."

Today's Message:
"It's hard to understand"
by Bob Perks
It's hard to understand sometimes, but easy enough to
see. I try to make sense of things and fail to comprehend
the magnitude, width and depth of all that is mine.

Still with all of that clearly in front of me, I find myself whining
still, because I don't have this or that.

It wouldn't take much to see those around me lacking
even the stuff that I enjoy and I am nowhere near a
wealthy man by the world's standards. I have a simple
house, a car, food, a wife and family who love me.

I couldn't boast of a yacht, six figure income, tailored suits,
shoes made in Italy, or more bathrooms than bedrooms in my home.

Some of you may think that's not much.

Still others may read that and say, I rent a small apartment
with one bedroom that sleeps six. I can't afford to buy my
child a toy boat to play with and my income is below the
poverty line. As for clothes and shoes I thank God for the
Salvation Army and my church.

That's hard to understand, but easy enough to see.

I wake up in the morning and I can't feel my feet sometimes.
I walk slumped over from muscle pain until I walk long
enough not to feel it.

Some of you may say it's just old age, get used to it.

Others may be thinking that's nothing. I can't walk any more.
My legs don't function at all and I am confined to a wheel chair.
My pain is constant because I can't afford the drugs to make it
all go away. I am crippled and can hardly sit up long enough
to eat.

That's hard to understand, but easy enough to see.

I moan about the fact that I don't see my one son at all
and the other just calls any more. He's too busy to stop by.

Some of you say they have their own life, let them live it.
Be grateful, mine is in his 30's and still living here.

Others might say at least you have two sons. I lost my son
to war and my daughter to cancer. Didn't your oldest survive
his cancer? You ought to be grateful he's alive.

That's hard to understand, but easy enough to see.

I sometimes question God.

Some might say so do I.

Others might add, me, too.

Still He loves all of us, doesn't he? He never gives up on us,
does He? He sees more in us than we do, gives even when
we don't deserve it. He provides. He guides. He lifts us up
when no one else is there to do so. He forgives. He listens.

You can't deny the abundance in your life.
That's God...hard to understand sometimes, but easy
enough to see.

"I wish you enough!"

About a clerk - I learned to love you today by Bob Perks

Today's story is about a clerk...

I learned to love you today.

You're miserable and probably one of the rudest people I've ever come across.

When I approach you, you turn away and pretend that I am not there, until you're ready.

I have tried a thousand times to make you smile and you have tried a thousand times not to.

I have dreaded even having to deal with you. I even tried coming at another time only to find you there at all hours.

The hard, staid, look on your face remains unchanged no matter what day it is, what time it is or even what season.

A "Beautiful day!" gets a moan.

"Hello, how are you today?" always returns "The same."

I have given up on you, I have been angered by you, I have even thought about complaining to the manager, but didn't.

Then one day I caught myself acting just like you and realized that I must stop.

I finally resolved myself to the fact that you are who you are and I cannot change that.

You are a fact of my life and I must learn to deal with it.

You made me.

The one day that I permitted myself to return the emptiness, rude behavior, terrible attitude and silent treatment, you chose to say something.

I approached the checkout and you said, "Are you Okay?" I was stunned. I could actually feel my brow, my entire face scrunch up apparently angry that you would ask.

"Am I okay?" I said in disbelief.

"Yes." you replied. "You are usually so upbeat and chipper."

I stood in this dream-like state confused by what was going on.

You looked at me and said, "I depend on you to lift my spirits every time you come in. I work three jobs, my bills are piling up, my kids need clothes for school, my husband left me and three weeks later I found out I have cancer."

I was speechless.

"Now you come in with this attitude today," she said.

I actually apologized.

I never considered that you were much more than a clerk. I never tried to understand that behind that face was personal pain, life challenges and loss.

Sure you should learn to separate work and life, but sometimes life digs in, hurts, and you end up wearing it like an ugly dress. Fits, but no one wants to see it.

Knowing now how difficult your life is I will see you through the eyes of love.

Love is more than romantic. Love is compassionate. Love is kind.Love is forgiving. Love is seeing beyond the pain.

"I learned to love you today."

"I Wish You Enough!"
(c) 2001 Bob Perks
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."
