Ask most anyone about salt and they probably will say that it's bad for you. Salt in itself is not bad for you, as your body needs it to function properly.
Full disclosure: I'm a believer in using nutrition as a healing tool. I take several nutritional supplements, give them to my family, and recommend them to my patients. Because there aren't as many scientific studies conducted on nutritional supplements, especially in veterinary medicine, I take a lot of flak from my colleagues whenever I espouse trying a different diet, food, or supplement. A new study on cats demonstrates that a popular supplement used to enhance the immune system works.
Quick: This is a quiz. What is quinoa? A) A girl's name. B) A great word for Scrabble players. C) A nutritional food. D) All of the above. If you answered D, you are correct. OK, I guess this was a trick question. I wanted you to answer C – a great nutritional food – because it is. But the other answers are correct, too.

Cooler weather is beginning to bring us beautiful autumn color in the trees and flowers. Another place we get deep, rich colors is in winter squash that is now so plentiful at local markets. They'll be at their best price, so it's the best time of year to add these vegetables to your family meals.
By Judy Koehly Master Gardener When most people think of bees, the first bee that comes to mind is the honeybee, but this bee is only one of about 25,000 species known worldwide. In the U.S., we have almost 4,000 types of pollinating bees. The honeybee was adopted as North Carolina's state insect in 1973. Not a native species, the honeybee was brought to North America by settlers from Europe. Bees native to the Carolinas are solitary bees and not subject to colony collapse.
Halloween has always been an intriguing day for me. The intrigue is not limited to it being the anniversary of my grandson's birth! Typically, I don't festoon our house with gauzy webs or hanging skeletons. There are no carved pumpkins bearing flickering candles to light a ghostly path. It's not that I am against the customs. I am simply not a house decorator. It allows me to find great joy in gazing at my neighbor's decorations.
Who says Halloween is just for the kids? Years ago, my wife and I attended a Halloween dinner prepared by a good friend of ours, Jim Stanley, from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Jim said, "It's not really about the food as much as it is about the atmosphere you create and the presentation of the dishes and the implication of what they might be."
Wine-tasting, shopping and beauty — there couldn't be a better combination.

DxO sheds light on camera sensor performance
A correction was made to this story. See below for details.
DxO Labs, a French company with deep experience measuring cameras' technical performance, has launched a Web site called DxOMark.com that features detailed information on the performance of the image sensor at the heart of many higher-end digital cameras.
Many Web sites and magazines measure camera image quality with varying degrees of rigor, typically examining either the JPEG that the camera produces or a processed version of the camera's raw. But with its DxOMark Sensor measurement, DxO takes a new approach by judging the sensor performance based on the unprocessed "raw" image file from higher-end cameras such as SLRs.
That's significant, because raw images typically must go through a conversion process called demosaicing before they're useful for viewing. Most digital cameras capture only a single color--red, green, or blue--for each sensor pixel. Demosaicing fills in the gaps in this colored checkerboard pattern so each pixel gets all three color components, but this processing stage can disguise sensor performance.
The detail-obsessed camera crowd has begun eagerly chomping on the new data. On Sunday, there were 220 mentions of DxOmark on the Digital Photography Review forums, a popular location for impassioned technical discussions.
New tests coming More measurements are coming, added Nicolas Touchard, vice president of marketing for DxO Labs' image quality evaluation business. First, in two or three weeks, will come measurements for medium-format digital camera sensors from companies including Hasselblad, Mamiya, Phase One, and Leaf. Then will come more high-end compact "bridge" cameras.
DxOMark Image Processing for the camera's computer, whose job it is to perform tasks such as converting raw images to JPEG, and DxOMark Optics for lenses.
The latter measurement will go beyond most lens tests by showing how well each lens works on each camera rather than one or two reference models. DxO takes that approach because lenses behave differently because different cameras have different attributes such as the geometry of the microlenses that help each sensor pixel gather more light, Touchard said.
DxO makes a business out of detailed measurements of camera performance, selling the data to camera and chip companies and incorporating it into its own DxO Optics Pro raw-processing software for photographers. So why give some of the data away for free on a Web site? Publicity.

Sukanti Ghosh is managing director of APCO's offices in New Dehlhi and Mumbai. This post originally appeared on his blog for the Times of India. You can download a shareable copy from Scribd.
A shade over two decades ago, while conducting a study at Tata Steel, I remember being astounded by the work the steel major was doing in the area of community relations, social development and tribal welfare both in and around Jamshedpur and in other parts of the country. I remember spending days in Steel City as I tried to get a first-hand account of what the company was doing even after going through each and every document that I could lay my hands on – a Social Audit Report, a Sustainability Report, an Environment Report and reams of related documentation that painstakingly laid out the issues the company was trying to address; the success metrics that had been defined at the beginning of the programme; and the progress the company had made over the years in achieving these goals. I also remember that on my way back from Jamshedpur, I threw out most of my clothes from the suitcase I had carried as I wanted to keep the reams of material I had picked up from the plant. Strange as it may sound, I still have most of this material.
I was amazed then, and I am even more amazed now, at the fact that the Indian Parliament is currently – two decades later – one step away from passing the revised Companies Bill, which when passed by the Rajya Sabha, will make India the first country in the world to make CSR expenditure mandatory for successful companies. Going forward, all companies with a net worth of INR 500 cr or more; companies with a turnover of INR 1000 cr or more; or companies with a net profit of INR 5 cr or more during any financial year will all be required to earmark and spend at least 2% of their average profits (for the immediately past three financial years) on corporate social responsibility projects. I continue to be amazed that there are companies like the Tatas that are so far ahead of their time; and equally amazed that a government mandate is required for everyone take cognizance of what is considered a normal part of the social contract that companies enter into by setting up a plant in a community in several other parts of the world.
Over the past year, there has been much debate amongst members of several leading industry chambers on whether or not it is appropriate for the government to unilaterally mandate companies to commit to CSR expenditure. 'After all', many have argued, 'there are many companies who don't need to be told. They understand their social responsibilities and already earmark a healthy portion of their profits for charity and other social development projects'. There has also been angst expressed over why companies should have to be told to how and where to invest these funds – 'preferably in areas close to the area of operations of these industries'; and in the 'eradication of hunger and poverty, promotion of education, gender equality and empowering women, healthcare, employment and promoting vocational skills, contribution to central or state level relief funds, ensuring environmental sustainability, social businesses etc'. But then are all companies operating in India driven by the same values as these corporations?
Segments within India Inc. have also spent considerable time questioning whether such mandatory expenditure on CSR should be considered a social tax over and above standard corporate taxes –after all, wasn't it Milton Friedman who said the 'business of business was business only'? They have objected strongly to the proposed penalties or censure that companies that fail to adhere to these guidelines may face; and have even questioned whether this is another attempt by the government to bridge the current account deficit by INR 10,000 cr per year – the sum the government expects this initiative to funnel into the development sector.
The debate that continues to rage is how such expenses should be treated. Are these expenses that should be deducted from the net profits of a company before arriving at an assessment of corporate tax for a particular financial year? Or not…Well, the jury is still out.
Though the concept of the triple-bottom line is still yet to gather acceptance in India, it will no doubt become a key differentiator in the not too distant future, as it has in other parts of the world. In the meanwhile, perhaps it suffices to say, this is a cost that companies need to consider paying for their continued license to operate; a chance to meaningfully participate in fuelling India's sustainable development story.
As in other parts of the world, in time, more and more employees, customers and shareholders will seek to work and associate with organizations that display a strong social conscience; a conscience best communicated through the testimonials of the people who work or are associated with the firm and not through glitzy advertising.
Customers will increasingly turn to buy the products of companies that are known to do good – be that in terms of breaking convention to establish norms of fair trade in the marketplace or in terms of promoting sustainable sourcing practices. Some people will even be ready to pay a considerable premium to be associated with such a brand.
Should a robust CSR strategy therefore be seen as an extension of a NGO distribution strategy? Definitely not. Nonprofits are crucial organizations in the delivery of services that help in the overall development framework, but the cause must not be mistaken for the means or the end. Rather, the CSR strategy of a company must be a carefully crafted document, which could be reviewed every three to five years, but must quintessentially continue to reflect the realities of an organization's operations, its impact on society and the vision of its top management in terms of what its social responsibilities are.
Similarly, the causes that a company chooses to support need to be relevant to the needs of the people they are meant to benefit, rather than causes that provide an organization with a surrogate marketing platform. Though there are strategic platforms that one can choose to adopt.
Finally, companies should remember that CSR can only work and make a difference if it is conceived and truly led from the helm. How else is one to explain the selfless act of WIPRO Chief Azim Premji, who has signed the Giving Pledge, and through his recent 'donation' of INR 12300 cr to the cause of education has single-handedly contributed more than the cumulative amount that the government expects to set free from all of India Inc. in a single financial year! Today, we can be proud to say that we have a growing number of such philanthropists in our midst. Perhaps it is now time for corporate India to set a similar example.

The mayor's office reversed its stance on the Delta Queen on Tuesday after days of defending the riverboat's planned eviction despite growing public disapproval.
Travis McDonough, the mayor's chief of staff, said the boat will be allowed to stay another six months and that if and when the boat is purchased from Xanterra Cruise LLC, the city will discuss the possibility of allowing it to remain.
"This agreement is conditioned on all rent being paid on time," McDonough wrote to the boat's manager, Leah Ann Ingram, on Tuesday. "The city will expect the new owner to furnish a sustainable business plan to ensure the vessel is kept up to the reasonable standard."
Under the agreement, Xanterra will pay the rent from now on as the company searches for a new owner, and the city will now charge $1,500 a month. The previous rent had been $500 plus 1 percent of the riverboat's gross revenue.
Last week, the Times Free Press revealed a berthing agreement between the mayor's office and Xanterra that would have forced the Delta Queen out of Chattanooga by Sept. 30. The eviction was never discussed publicly.
The mayor has not spoken about the Delta Queen, but members of his staff said the boat was behind in rent -- more than $10,000 -- and that the national historic landmark, which will be honored this weekend as a National Treasure by the National Trust, is an eyesore.
Berke was supported by Bob Doak, CEO of the Chattanooga Convention and Visitors Bureau, who said that two dozen influential people had told him at one time or another that the 86-year-old steamboat obstructed their view of downtown and the Tennessee Aquarium.
The boat's manager, Leah Ann Ingram, has disputed the claims of unpaid rent and questioned the city's motives, accounting and what she called its lack of communication.
In an open letter to Berke and the Chattanooga City Council released Tuesday, Ingram said the city never let her know about an outstanding balance of $11,000.
The city's fiscal analyst confirmed in emails dated Aug. 15, 2012. and Nov. 30, 2012, the rent amounts due to the city, but the city now claims other amounts are due for those periods, she wrote.
She also said the city overstated the boat's gross revenue and never communicated concerns about the boat's appearance.
"Does the city care that the Delta Queen is the last steamboat of its kind?" she wrote.
When two citizens tried to attend a Tuesday press briefing at City Hall about the Delta Queen, they were told they weren't allowed.
Charles Pierce, 73, works in the tourism industry and arranges motorcoach tours for visitors who often stay on the Delta Queen.
When he asked why he couldn't enter, he was told it was limited to press. When he asked why, again, Kyle Miller, an assistant to the mayor, said, "It just is."
"That is like my momma telling me, 'Because I said so,'" Pierce said to Miller. "That is not really a reason."
"I am not going to stand here and argue with you," Miller said. He said a member of the staff could speak to Pierce after the press briefing.
A few minutes later, McDonough announced to the media that a deal on the Delta Queen had been reached.
When asked why the mayor's office had changed its mind about the Delta Queen, McDonough said they always thought it could be an asset. After a few questions, no more were allowed.
Even though the boat can remain in its berth off Coolidge Park for another six months, the boat's future is uncertain.
The boat is still for sale by Xanterra. While the Ingrams have made an offer to purchase the boat, bids are still being accepted. Other river cities like Cincinnati are vying for the steamboat in hopes it would be a boon to their tourism. Congress has yet to clear the riverboat for overnight river travel.
"We are very excited that the city is letting the Delta Queen stay, but we want to resolve the issues at hand of the back rent," Ingram said. "We want to sit down one on one to resolve it."

A Complete Guide To Identity Protection Measures For Homes And Businesses To Ensure Protection No Matter Where You Are.
Whether you are running your own business or just using the Internet for personal reasons, having your identity stolen can seem like it is the end of the world. One of the best ways to protect yourself is by not having anything online that could help someone pretend to be you. However, this is not always feasible so it leads to looking for other ways to protect your identity.
Some of the software can cost a lot of money but when you also consider the amount of money that it can save you, can you really complain? But if you are looking for software for a personal computer, you may want something that is more affordable. For a business, on the other hand, you will need something that not only offers you the protection but any other details that you have stored on your databases, and both personal and business options are explained below.
Protection for Personal Computers
Sometimes, your antivirus protection could protect your identity from being stolen. AVG's paid antivirus software, for example, is able to offer identity protection. It uses a military-grade encryption process which will keep all of your files away from prying eyes. It doesn't stop you from being able to share your photos and music with your friends.
You could even look at opting for the family version, which will protect up to three computers and will block the dangerous sites. This can help protect your children's identity without them even realizing.
ZoneAlarm is another type of antivirus software, which also has identity protection included. It can use the anti-spyware part of the program to be able to block at threatening websites and disable any of the programs that have been designed to take your personal details. You will also be given monthly reports and alerts to the websites or people that are after your identity.
For a little extra money each year, you could have protection through the use of Panda Global Protection. This is one of the most up-to-date versions of the software and is able to offer improved protection for your identity.
The firewall through this software is able to block any hackers, even through your wireless connection and the Collective Intelligence component is able to protect you even if you haven't been attacked yet – as soon as the threat is noticed somewhere, all of the customers are protected.
Protection for Businesses
Running a business means that not only your details need to be protected, but that all of the details of your customers or clients will need protecting too. This will mean not looking at parental controls but looking at data protection.
Norton 360 Premier offers protection from all different types of computer and identity attacks, including phishing attacks and Trojan horses. The software will not slow down your computer, so you will be able to continue with your workload even while you are being protected.
A big problem for businesses is that technology is constantly being replaced. However, even deleting the files will not completely remove them from your hard disk. For software to completely remove the files, you will need a program like Avanquest's DISKExtinguisher, which will removed IDs, passwords and all of the files stored onto the computer that you are either selling on or destroying. This can keep your customers' and clients' details safe from those who either buy your computer or take the hard drive.
SystemSuitePro is also able to offer the ability to clear all of the data on a hard disk. This will act in the form of a shredder and can remove a high volume of information at the same time. Also, while all of the data is stored on the computer, the software will protect it by encrypting everything; even if a hacker does get into the computer, your customers' and clients' details cannot be read.
Help Yourself With Internet Security
No matter what software you have on your computer, it is still very important that you consider a few factors. The most important factor is the type of website that you are one and what their protection is like.
For instance, you should only give your credit card details over a secure connection. This will have a locked padlock in the bottom right hand corner and will also have https as part of the address rather than http.
Also, social networking sites have made it very easy for identities to be stolen. There are still problems with having your full name on the Internet, although these problems are becoming smaller. However, these networking sites allow you to put your full date of birth, address and phone number; all answers to many security questions, especially with your bank. To really protect your identity and privacy, limit the amount of information that is available to the world.

The commercial lending landscape in the Memphis area continues to grind its way through an extended period of gradual improvement that began roughly two years ago after a dismal 2009.
"Loans for A- and B-class commercial properties are back. The owners have plenty of choices now," said Frank Stallworth, president of Magna Bank's commercial and multifamily division. "There's no question that values have declined compared to 2007, but for the most part those values have stabilized. 2011 was better than 2010, 2012 is shaping up better than last year, and we expect 2013 to better than 2012 as it relates to occupancies as well as stabilizing and possibly increasing rents in the various sectors of commercial real estate."

Forty-two acres in Eads' Wynestone Estates Subdivision are scheduled to be sold in foreclosure, according to a first-run foreclosure notice in today's Daily News. The notice states Wynestone Partners is in default of a $1.5 million construction loan through Renasant Bank dated January 2005 and matured in January 2007. The loan was modified in September 2006 to add $216,000 for a total of $1.7 million.
Germantown Storage LLC has bought part of a 5.2-acre vacant parcel west of Hacks Cross Road from Players Crossing Partners LLC for $300,000. The sale was financed with a $1.3 million construction loan through Renasant Bank, with the note maturing in September 2030.
Commercial and residential construction lenders continue to see slow activity from developers, making it unlikely much dirt will get pushed on new projects in the next several months.
"We are seeing softness in the commercial market in almost all sectors," said Rick Hall, executive vice president at Renasant Bank. "Not many projects have been presented, and demand is low for new loans."
Renasant Bank has foreclosed on a multimillion home on South Shady Grove Road, according to a first-run foreclosure notice in today's Daily News. Richard K. Rice and April H. Rice bought the home in February 2006, according to the notice. The purchase was financed with a $3.1 million loan through Renasant.

The Federal Housing Administration will enact a couple of changes in its loan procedures, including one going into effect next week, but how much they bear on home sales remains to be seen.
Beginning Monday, FHA will increase its upfront mortgage insurance premium from 1.75 percent to 2.25 percent. So, for someone buying a $100,000 home, that's an additional $500 they'll have to finance into the loan.
Like anyone in the real estate business, mortgage bankers have April 30 circled on their calendars.
That's when the federal homebuyers tax credit is set to expire, bringing an end to the program that gives cash for a home purchase.
All the talk about commercial real estate's doldrums is bolstered by Shelby County's latest numbers, which underscore how much the sector is still hurting.
Because of tightened lending guidelines and companies' hesitance to make real estate moves, the numbers continue to shrink with each month of the recession.

Although the mortgage industry enjoyed an uptick in activity as the year ended, it by no means salvaged an otherwise abysmal 2009.
Lenders suffered one of their worst years for purchase mortgages in recent memory, making only 8,399 loans in 2009, according to real estate information company Chandler Reports, www.chandlerreports.com. (Data for this report included purchase mortgages only, not refinances.)
Don't bother listening for the sound of champagne corks popping.
Instead of celebrating the end of 2009's financial turmoil, many bankers and industry professionals in the Memphis area are greeting the arrival of a new year with a sigh of relief. And they're recommitting themselves to game plans cobbled together either last year or back in 2008 to put their institutions on firmer footing.

Renasant Bank has reclaimed 16 parcels – 13 of which are residential lots and three of which are common areas – in the Curtman Glenn Planned Development in unincorporated Shelby County near Eads following a foreclosure of the properties. The Tupelo, Miss.-based bank paid $1.6 million for the land from substitute trustee Paul N. Royal of the law firm Crislip, Philip and Associates.
The old proverb about the fear of dismounting a tiger – once you're riding one, you can't hop off without becoming easy prey for the beast – seems applicable to the banking industry at the moment.
The tiger it's riding is an economy marked by delinquent mortgages, companies shedding jobs and unpaid consumer loans stacking up as borrowers fall further behind. As a result of that upheaval, the U.S. government has basically turned into a vast holding company sitting on giant stakes in automakers and hundreds of banks.
It stands to reason that whenever home sales have a good month, the mortgage industry will also. Not surprisingly, the latest loan data held up their end of the bargain and for the first time all year outpaced the same month of 2008.

Renasant Bank has bought back 11 lots in the Highland Point Subdivision in unincorporated Shelby County from developer Latting Road Partners LLC following a foreclosure. The bank bought the parcels for a combined $1 million in a substitute trustee's deed, acquiring the properties on the steps of the Shelby County Courthouse from trustee Paul Royal of the law firm Crislip, Philip and Associates.
It was only a few months ago that Kirk Bailey, chairman, president and CEO of Memphis-based Magna Bank, told shareholders the previous year had been nothing short of cataclysmic for the financial industry.
Renasant Corp. has informed employees of the Mississippi-based bank the company is changing administrators of its 401(k) plan.
With a few exceptions, most major regional and community banks with a presence in the Memphis market are socking away more money these days to cover troubled parts of their loan portfolios.
The degrees to which they're piling up those cushions vary widely, with the figure more than doubling at banks like Cadence and Renasant when comparing the just-ended third quarter to the same period last year. And the trend is important to watch, because when provisions for loan losses are on the rise it eats into a bank's earnings, which in turn postpones the return of stability to the industry.
A few months ago, First Horizon National Corp.'s then-chief investor relations officer was named by an industry magazine as the best IR officer among banks with a market capitalization less than $5 billion.
Tupelo, Miss.-based Renasant Corp. reported third quarter net income this week of $4.2 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to $7.56 million, or $0.36 per share, during Q3 2008.
First Tennessee Bank commands more than a third of the bank deposit market share in the Memphis area, while its closest rival has about half that amount.
The economy is beginning to see a small break in the clouds.
Local banks are warm to the possibility of gobbling up other banks and failed rivals if government financial backing is part of the deal.
Renasant Bank has named Scott Forman to be first vice president and commercial lending officer in Memphis.
TUPELO, Miss. (AP) - Lee County's business incubator will expand with the help of a $2.7 million federal grant.
The Renasant Center for IDEAs opened in August 2006 and has helped launch 21 new enterprises and organizations. It offers onsite business counseling, technical support, marketing assistance, networking and other services.
One year ago, Tupelo, Miss.-based Renasant Bank had two employees working in its local mortgage division. Today, it has nine. And that 450 percent boost in staffing yielded one of Shelby County's most impressive increases in lending activity last month.
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco in April reached an agreement with a bank holding company there limiting its activities in several areas, including the payment of dividends.
The mortgage industry is yet another group that viewed the second quarter numbers with some ambivalence. The period (April through June) was highlighted by slight improvements from the previous quarter but well off the mark from the same quarter the previous two years.
Like other real estate and financial services sectors, the mortgage industry received some bad news and some good news in June: Activity improved from the previous month, but still fell short of last year's total.

Flowerpot Bells
What You'll Need: small terra-cotta flowerpots; acrylic craft paint in assorted colors; wire; assortment of small bells
Step 1: Paint each pot white, and let dry. Then personalize the pots with painted polka dots and other playful designs.
Step 2: After the paint dries, position each pot with the drainage hole on top. Thread both ends of a 10- to 12-inch piece of wire through the drainage hole, forming a loop for hanging. (Ribbon or raffia can be substituted for wire.) Holding the outside loop in place, bend and twist one end of the inside wire to form a knot larger than the drainage hole. Leave enough wire past the knot to thread a bell.
Step 3: Attach a bell to the remaining inside wire, pulling the bell to the center of the pot. Twist and tie the excess wire around the top of the bell to secure. Trim wire as needed.

Universal plans to expand its Harry Potter universe once more.
On Wednesday, Universal Orlando Resort announced a brand new section of its theme park to be called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley." Scheduled to open in 2014, it will expand The Wizarding World of Harry Potter across both Universal Orlando theme parks.
The new area will bring to life some of the experiences and places found in and around London in the Harry Potter books and films, offering brand new adventures for fans and theme park guests.
Diagon Alley and 'London' will be located within the Universal Studios Florida theme park, which is adjacent to Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park, where guests now experience Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade opened at Universal's Islands of Adventure in June 2010.
And - just like in the books and films - guests will be able to travel between 'London' and Hogsmeade aboard the Hogwarts Express.
Work on the new area is already under way. When complete, it will feature shops, a restaurant and an attraction based on Gringotts bank - all directly inspired by the fiction and films.
More details on The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley will be released periodically here.

Product Description
Mintage of only 5,000!
First release of the Dragons of Legend five coin series.
This Proof Silver coin features a red colored dragon amid dramatic mountain scenery, design by Howard David Johnson. The design also includes DRAGONS OF LEGEND and RED WELSH DRAGON and monetary denomination. The Ian Rank-Broadley likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse.
Comes in a box with illustrated shipper and numbered CoA.
The red dragon emblem was most likely introduced into Britain by the Romans. Accounts suggest that when the legions departed, Welsh Britons under the red dragon fought Saxon invaders. History tells us that Welsh-born future Henry VII flew a red dragon standard during the Wars of the Roses, and that it subsequently appeared in the Tudor Royal Arms.
After centuries of powerful association, the red dragon or 'Y Ddraig Goch' became the official symbol of Wales in 1901 and since 1959 it has adorned the national flag.
