DEADLY PORK-PKG

YOU DON'T KNOW IT'S NAME - BUT you may be one of the 100,000 Americans who

gets sick each year from a bacteria called Yersinia. And today's study

explains why.

Consumer Reports tested porkthe types you'd buy in the supermarketincluding

pork chops and ground pork. They found that nearly 70% of the samples they

tested HAD THE dangerous BACTERIA Yersinia ON IT. GROUND PORK turned out

to be EVEN MORE RISKY THANK PORK CHOPS

Dr. Rangan:

"This should be a wakeup call to the American public what are we doing in

terms of monitoring the safety of pork? And what can we do in the future."

This bacteria can hit hard In matter of days you'll experience fever,

cramps, and bloody diarrhea that may last for weeks. Especially common in

children.

Cooking the pork thoroughly does kill this bacteria.BUT BE CAREFUL. It is

easy to SPREAD IT TO THE SURFACES OF YOUR KITCHEN - THE CUTTING BOARD, THE

PLATE, YOUR HANDS, ANYTHING THE RAW PORK TOUCHED.

ONLY ABOUT HALF OF LOTTERY WINNERS ARE HAPPIER THREE YEARS LATER, SAYS MICHAEL BOONE WHOSE SEATTLE FIRM ADVISES BIG LOTTO WINNERS.

I think Henry Ford said money doesn't change a person, it simply unmasks them. I think that really is what happens. So people have an opportunity to do all the things they dreamed about, sometimes those are good things and sometimes not.

CHRISTMAS 2002 JACK WHITTAKER OF WEST VIRGINIA HAD THE ONLY WINNING TICKET IN THE 314 MILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY JACKPOT. TWO YEARS LATER HIS WIFE SAID THAT SHE WISHES SHE HAD TORN UP THE TICKET.

ABRAHAM SHAKESPEARE OF FLORIDA WAS MURDERED AFTER WINNING 31 MILLION DOLLARS. THEN THERE'S AMANDA CLAYTON - A YOUNG MOTHER WHO WON A MILLION DOLLARS IN THE MICHIGAN LOTTERY.SHE MADE HEADLINES WHEN SHE CONTINUED TO COLLECT FOOD STAMPS. SHE WAS FOUND DEAD OF APPARENT DRUG OVERDOSE. ARE THESE WINNERS UNLUCKY OR IS THERE SOMETHING MORE? PSYCHOLOGIST ALDUAN TARTT SAYS BIG PAYOUTS CAN ISOLATE PEOPLE - THRUST THEM INTO A WORLD OF WEALTH THAT IS FOREIGN TO THEM. LONG LOST FAMILY MEMBERS MAY HOUND THEM. THERE'S A GUILT FACTOR -WHO TO HELP AND WHO NOT TO. AND THERE'S A FUNNY THING ABOUT MONEY AND HAPPINESS, YOU MAY NOT REALIZE.

You win the lottery and spend a lot of money. What happens is, you get used to having a lot of money and spending a lot of money. So what happens is, you actually have to spend more money to get the same level of happiness.
