Zuckerberg Plays Host in New Facebook IPO

Mark Zuckerberg,  the CEO of  the famous social network, Facebook, now serves as the company's staple in a new video that Facebook posted in the run-up to its initial public offering (IPO).
According to PCMag.com, "The video is part of Facebook's IPO road show, a traditional pre-IPO presentation a company offers potential investors to tell the company's story and explain why it is a good investment. The 30-minute video starts out with Facebook CFO David Ebersman, who then introduces our host, Zuckerberg, who in turn passes the video baton to other company leaders such as Chris Cox, vice president of product, and COO Sheryl Sandberg.
Sitting in the company's Silicon Valley offices and speaking over the kind of optimistic, folksy music score we've become accustomed to in Apple and Google product videos, Zuckerberg describes the beginning of Facebook, from the early idea of photo uploads to the more recent Timeline feature."

Can You Get Mad Cow Disease From Milk?

Many people is still not aware of what is really a mad cow disease or are asking if we can get mad cow disease from a cow's milk. To give some information about mad cow disease, here's an article from www.motherjones.com:
USDA- authority mandated testing turned up a downed California dairy cow that was infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease, the agency announced Tuesday. According to an exec with the rendering plant where the poor beast ended up, it was chosen for testing completely at random, having shown "no signs" of disease.
The scenario suggests that relatively recently, a BSE-infected cow was producing milk for public consumption. According to the USDA, there's nothing to worry about. The agency's chief veterinary officer, John Clifford, released a statement Tuesday declaring that the the the cow in question had "atypical BSE, a very rare form of the disease not generally associated with an animal consuming infected feed." He added that "milk does not transmit BSE."
