Mechanism for Template-Independent Terminal Adenylation Activity of Qβ Replicase

► Structure of template-independent terminal adenylation of RNA by Qβ replicase ► The size and shape of the nucleobase-interacting pocket are suitable for ATP ► The interactions between ATP and neighboring base-pairing impact the specificity ► The template of terminal adenylation by Qβ replicase is RNA-protein complex
The genomic RNA of Qβ virus is replicated by Qβ replicase, a template-dependent RNA polymerase complex. Qβ replicase has an intrinsic template-independent RNA 3′-adenylation activity, which is required for efficient viral RNA amplification in the host cells. However, the mechanism of the template-independent 3′-adenylation of RNAs by Qβ replicase has remained elusive. We determined the structure of a complex that includes Qβ replicase, a template RNA, a growing RNA complementary to the template RNA, and ATP. The structure represents the terminal stage of RNA polymerization and reveals that the shape and size of the nucleotide-binding pocket becomes available for ATP accommodation after the 3′-penultimate template-dependent C-addition. The stacking interaction between the ATP and the neighboring Watson-Crick base pair, between the 5′-G in the template and the 3′-C in the growing RNA, contributes to the nucleotide specificity. Thus, the template for the template-independent 3′-adenylation by Qβ replicase is the RNA and protein ribonucleoprotein complex.

Swanton Triathlete Wins in Lake PlacidFrom Press-Republican LAKE PLACID — Matt Boobar of Swanton, Vt., rolled to an impressive 7½-minute victory Sunday in the Second-Annual XTERRA Lake Placid Triathlon. He completed the 1,500-meter swim, 19.72-mile bicylce ride and 6.6-mile run over a rolling course with varying short hills and dirty terrain inside a pine forest in 3 hours, 24:59 minutes. The total ascent of the run was 920 feet and included a short trot into a swamp. The prize purse for the 2010 triathlon event was $3,000 to be split among the top 5 finishers in both the men's and the women's divisions. New this year was a short course option. Participants choosing this route completed one loop for each of the three legs of the race. Felix Hudson of Ste. Anne, Que. had the fastest time in the short event — one hour, 59:30 minutes. The long-course event attracted 147 entries with 103 completing the test while 72 of 80 finished the short event. There are approximately 50 to 60 XTERRA races around the country each year, and 10 to 15 XTERRA international competitions. |

Albert Brooks was born July 22, 1947, in Beverly Hills, CA. He showed talent in stand-up comedy. He made his first major T.V. appearance in 1969. He then worked steadily in T.V., directing several short films. 1976, he took on his first big film role. For the next several years, he took small parts in popular movies until his role Broadcast News. For 40 years, he has worked steadily in Hollywood.
"It's an interesting world we live in when Arnold Schwarzenegger can kill 115 people in a movie and he's fine. I drive around a woman's house twice, and I'm neurotic. Go figure."
"If people don't love what you're doing, that doesn't mean you're wrong.''
Early Life
Actor and comedian. Born July 22, 1947, in Beverly Hills, California, the youngest son of Thelma Leeds, a singer and actress, and Harry Parke, a radio comedian who went by the stage name of Parkya Karkus. Unable to pass up a good punchline, the two performers named their youngest son Albert Einstein, a name he changed as soon as he became an adult. Albert had two older brothers (including Bob Einstein, a comedian who performs as Super Dave Osborne) and a half-brother on his father's side.
When Brooks was 11 years old, his father died of a heart attack onstage at a Friar's Club roast of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Harry Parke slumped over into the lap of Milton Berle, whose calls for a doctor were initially met with laughter from the crowd, who thought he was joking. Following this tragedy, Brooks attended Beverly Hills High School, the alma mater of fellow actors Betty White, Rob Reiner and Angelina Jolie. After graduating, he went to Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh on an acting scholarship, but moved back to Los Angeles a few years later to start his career in show business.
Early Career
Brooks showed major talent on the stand-up comedy circuit. ''Everyone knew that Albert was head and shoulders above everybody else, a genius,'' said Reiner, a friend since high school. ''I'm talking people like Chevy Chase, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal basically acknowledging that you couldn't touch this guy. Whenever Albert started in, everyone pretty much backed off and just let him go.''
Brooks made his first major television appearance in 1969 on a Dean Martin variety show, doing a bit about a ventriloquist with no talent. He worked steadily in television, directing several short films for the first season of Saturday Night Live and appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. In 1976, he took on his first big film role in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, playing a campaign worker in love with a character played by Cybill Shepherd. In 1979, Brooks released Real Life, a mockumentary in which he played an obnoxious filmmaker (named Albert Brooks) who films an American family in an attempt to win an Academy Award. It was the first picture that Brooks wrote, directed and starred in. Though not a smash at the box office, the movie developed a cult following among fans of Brooks' self-mocking humor. He went on to write, direct and star in six more films.
Commercial Success
For the next several years, Brooks moved between small parts in popular movies (such as the boorish husband of Goldie Hawn who dies on his wedding night in Private Benjamin) and writer/director/star roles in little-seen films like Modern Romance.

Dooley believes Bama may have best defense in modern era
Our staff just had the opportunity to take a look at Derek Dooley's press conference, and he's trying his best to seem upbeat going into this weeks game with Alabama and their top ranked defense. Tennessee is coming off a 38-7 loss to top ranked LSU and will face their second straight top 5 defense this weekend.
Dooley gave Alabama's defense a huge compliment, fast forward to the 3:35 mark to hear him talk about Saban and this years defense.
"Probably as physically dominant of a defense as I've seen in the modern era of football"
This year the defense is allowing 7 points per game, and have been dominant against both the run (1st nationally allowing 38 yards per game) as well as against the pass (5th nationally allowing 146 yards per game). The Tide's defense is allowing only 184 total yards of offense per game total. Dominant seems to be a logical statement.
What makes the those numbers even more impressive is that they have been on the field for 66 more snaps than Michigan State, who is the second ranked defense in the country.
Stanford's impressive offensive numbers
It's no secret that Andrew Luck is leading one of the top offenses in the country, #16 in total offense to be exact.
Luck has had plenty of time to distribute the ball from the pocket, as Stanford's offensive line has only allowed 1 sack so far this season. In comparison, Pittsburgh has allowed the most sacks in the country, allowing 34.
However, after taking a look at the numbers through Stanford's first six games, the role of the tight ends is the most impressive stat. The Cardinal tight ends have hauled in an impressive 59 catches for 980 yards and 15 touchdowns.
First year head coach David Shaw and Luck will need to continue the offensive production as they take on Washington Saturday (ESPN - 8p - EST).
Utah State has yet to throw an INT this season
As our staff poured through some statistics through Week 7, we found one in particular very impressive. Utah State is the only team in the FBS yet to throw an interception.
True freshman Chuckie Keaton has thrown 137 passes without an interception. Keaton is completing 61% of his passes, and has thrown for over a thousand yards in his first 6 college starts
Working to Keatons advantage has been the Aggie run game which ranks 6th nationally, and first in the WAC at 298.8 yards per game.
After almost knocking off Auburn in a Week 1 thriller, Utah State is sitting at 2-4 going into this weeks game against Louisiana Tech (3p - Eastern). Watchful eyes will be on Chuckie Keaton to keep his impressive streak alive. Aggies quarterback coach Matt Wells is doing a great job out there with his alma mater.
Texas high school offense rewrites the record books
This past Friday night, Fort Worth Southwest and Forth Worth Arlington Heights met to battle for the top spot in their Texas 4A District. What fans witnessed was an impressive offensive showing by Southwest that rewrote the record books.
Southwest receiver Robbie Rhodes had a night he will never forget, catching an impressive 8 touchdown passes, each of those coming from at least 20 yards out. Rhodes pulled in a total of 10 receptions for 394 yards, which stands as a Texas single game record, and ranks 11th nationally. The 8 touchdowns tie a national record set in 1998.
Distributing the ball to Rhodes was quarterback, Wesley Harris, who finished 20-30 for 564 yards and threw one more incompletion (10), than total touchdowns (9). Harris now holds the Texas high school single game touchdown record, and was one touchdown shy of joining five others who hold the national record with 10 in a single game.
Fort Worth Southwest went on to win the game 66-21 and secured a top spot in District 6-4A. Great job by the staff putting on an offensive show that kept the fans on the edge of their seat the entire game.
Les at it again
Earlier today the first BCS polls came out listing LSU as #1. The Tigers edged out Alabama for the top spot.
When Les was asked what he thought about the news he responded
"Once thrust in that position, you might as well enjoy it."
Well said Les.
California HS game goes 8 OTs
California high schools, Desert Hot Springs and Big Bear, completed an 8 overtime game Friday night that officially went down as the longest high school football game played in the state. The game was tied at 22 after regulation and lasted 4 hours and 19 minutes, with the final touchdown run coming at 11:27pm PST.
What makes this game even more impressive is that during the third overtime Big Bear faced a 3rd and 36. Big Bear ended up completing a 35 yard pass, and then scored on a 4th and 1 pass. After each team scored touchdowns in the first three overtimes, there wasn't a single point scored in the next three.
Unlike NCAA rules, CIF southern section California overtime regulations do not require teams to attempt a two point conversion after the third overtime.
Big Bear defeated Hot Springs 56-50, and captured a CIF championship. However, there was still plenty of work to be done for the coaches as they got busy working on the film. Our staff thinks its a safe bet that the film work kept the coaches busy into the early morning hours of Saturday.
Sarkisian off to a great start
Steve Sarkisian really had the Washington offense clicking in their 52-24 victory over Colorado Saturday.
In the first half alone, Washington scored on their first 6 possessions, 5 of them being touchdowns, as they built a 38-10 lead at the break. By the end of the game, 7 different Huskies had found the end zone.
First year starter Keith Price has gotten of to a fast start, throwing for 21 touchdowns on the season, which ranks just behind the national leader Robert Griffith III who has 22.
When Sarkisian was asked about the variety of the effectiveness of the play calling he responded,
"I'm not calling plays for a specific guy. We're calling the best plays for the moment and not concerned about who might be the guy and 'Can he make that play?' We have such belief in the guys on our football team right now."
That confidence will need to carry over as the 5-1 Huskies take on Stanford on Saturday.

The True History of the Gulf War
One book, George Bush's War by Jean Edward Smith, is particularly useful in following just how President Bush maneuvered to take the country into the war.34 Smith points out that Bush committed himself to force Iraq out of Kuwait on August 5, 1990, the day before the meeting of Secretary Cheney with King Fahd.35 From that point on, Bush had apparently made up his mind to drive Iraq out of Kuwait, while insisting publicly that he was merely trying to protect Saudi Arabia.
By August 8, the first troops of the 82nd Airborne had arrived in Saudi Arabia. On that day, Bush for the first time made a statement of his policy. It was peculiarly double-edged, because it explained that the mission of the troops was "wholly defensive" and at the same time demanded "the immediate, unconditional and complete withdrawal of all Iraqi forces from Kuwait." How the second aim could be accomplished, if the troops were in Saudi Arabia just to defend it, was left a mystery.36 At a press conference at that time, Bush even spoke favorably of economic sanctions instead of war. By this time, moreover, the danger of an Iraqi attack on Saudi Arabia was known in Washington to have passed.37 As General Powell later admitted, Iraqi forces could have moved into Saudi Arabia virtually unopposed for three weeks after having taken over Kuwait. If they did not do so, it was because they had given up any intention of invading Saudi Arabia. In that case, there was no need to continue pouring thousands upon thousands of US troops into Saudi Arabia, if all they were supposed to do was to defend it.
By August 21, the original, defensive rationale clearly could not hold. When Bush was asked whether he still maintained that the military mission was purely defensive and whether he ruled out driving Iraq out of Kuwait, he replied equivocally: "I don't rule in or rule out the use of force." To Smith, this reply was disingenuous—"the defense of Saudi Arabia was merely window dressing to get American forces to the Gulf." By September 11, in an address to the joint session of Congress, Bush spoke only of undoing Iraq's annexation of Kuwait and made no more mention of defending Saudi Arabia. Smith considers this speech "a decisive transition in American policy."
On October 31, when Bush decided to double the number of US forces in Saudi Arabia, then already 230,000, war was clearly on the way, though at a press conference on November 8 he preferred to say that he merely had "not ruled out the use of force at all." When Bush offered to send Secretary Baker to Baghdad and to invite the Iraqi minister, Tariq Aziz, to Washington in the days before the US forces went on the offensive, nothing came of it, because Bush changed the dates as soon as the proposal was accepted. To Smith, it was "a public relations gambit and nothing more." His verdict is harsh: "Throughout the crisis, Bush dissembled."
In his reconstruction of Bush's road to war, Smith uses such terms as "disingenuous," "less than candid," "a ruse," "minimum candor," and "dissembled." In his view, the American people were led step by step into a war by a president who deliberately misled or beguiled them.
Meanwhile, the immensity of the US military buildup to 580,000 troops by January 15, 1991, required a similarly elephantine estimate of the Iraqi enemy's military resources.38 The centerpiece was Saddam Hussein's "million-man army." As Secretary Cheney put it, there was no one in the region "to stand up to Saddam Hussein's million-man army." The war against Iran, he said, had left Saddam "with a warhardened military force—disciplined, organized, and tough."39 General Schwarzkopf improved on Cheney by giving Iraq a 1,500,000-man army, together with 5,000 tanks and 1,000 aircraft. According to Schwarzkopf, "If he [Saddam] chooses to, he could bring a tremendous amount of military might to bear in an attack on Saudi Arabia."40 In and around Kuwait alone, General Powell stated, Iraq had 500,000 troops, including approximately 4,000 tanks, 2,500 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, and 2,700 artillery pieces.41
In 1990, the Strategic Studies Institute of the US Army War College put out an analysis of "Iraqi Power and US Security in the Middle East" that reflected influential military opinion. It contained these nuggets:
For the foreseeable future, debt repayment will fully occupy the [Iraqi] regime; it will have neither the will, nor the resources to go to war.
Baghdad should not be expected to deliberately provoke military confrontations with anyone.
[Iraqis are] capable of tenacious defense of their homeland and well practiced at the tactical level with intricate defensive systems.42
One of the mysteries of the Gulf War is how such an analysis from such a source could have been so wrongheaded. It was put out before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and reflected a current of opinion that sought to downplay the danger from Iraq. After the invasion, the official military line went in the opposite direction and overplayed the military threat from Iraq, with the result that the American and allied forces deployed in the area were grotesquely excessive.
In fact, the Iraqi army put up almost no defense at all. The war took the form of forty-two days of allied air bombardment and one hundred hours of ground attack. The sides were so mismatched that it was hardly a war at all.
The best authority on the nature of the war is General Schwarzkopf. He said of the Iraqi air force:
The only thing that's really surprised me, as I've already stated many times about the Iraqis, is the fact that their air force, particularly, hasn't chosen to fight, and also how easy it was to completely take out his air-defense system in such a way that we have freedom of action.43
As you know, very early on we took out the Iraq air force.44
Instead of fighting, Saddam Hussein sent part of his air force into safekeeping in Iran. On January 20, 1991, Schwarzkopf announced that "we've flown more 30,000 sorties, and we've lost only 19 aircraft." 45
The ground offensive opened at 4 AM on February 24, 1991. At the end of that afternoon, Schwarzkopf said, "there was nobody between us and Baghdad. If our intention had been to overrun and destroy Iraq, we could have done it unopposed, for all intents and purposes, from this position at that time."46
On February 27, Schwarzkopf was asked whether he thought "this would turn out to be such a cakewalk as it seems." He did not balk at the term "cakewalk." His reply was:
First of all, if we had thought it would be such an easy fight, we definitely would not have stocked 60 days' worth of supplies on these log bases…. So we certainly did not expect it to go this way.47
Mass Iraqi surrenders began as early as February 24. Three days later, over 50,000 prisoners were taken. Indeed, they had been deserting even before the initiation of the ground attack. Clearly based on the interrogation of prisoners, Schwarzkopf gave an interpretation of this phenomenon:
One of the things we learned immediately prior to the initiation of the campaign—it contributed, as a matter of fact, to the timing of the ground campaign—is that so many people were deserting. What's more, the Iraqis brought down execution squads whose job was to shoot people in the front lines. I have to tell you, a soldier doesn't fight very hard for a leader who is going to shoot him on a whim. That's not what military leadership is all about. So I attribute a great deal of the failure of the Iraqi Army to their own leadership. They committed them to a cause that they did not believe in. They are all saying they didn't want to be there, they didn't want to fight their fellow Arabs, they were lied to when they went into Kuwait, and then after they got there, they had a leadership so uncaring that they didn't properly give them water, and in the end, kept them there only at the point of a gun.48
This statement raises the question of why so many Iraqi soldiers were needlessly slaughtered. The ratio of Iraqi to American losses has been estimated as a thousand to one.49 US losses were 148 dead, of whom 38 were killed by friendly fire. One American military source pointed out that fewer Americans died in the war than had died accidentally in Saudi Arabia before the fighting. "It was actually safer to be in combat on the ground in Kuwait or Iraq than to walk some parts of major American cities."50
A British correspondent, Stephen Sackur, happened to come across the remains of an Iraqi convoy that had "panicked, seizing any vehicle that looked capable of taking them to Iraq before the Allies could close in." The scale of the American attack on this helpless convoy appalled him:
Was it necessary to bomb the entire convoy? What threat could these pathetic remnants of Saddam Hussein's beaten army have posed? Wasn't it obvious that the people of the convoy would have given themselves up willingly without the application of such ferocious weaponry? The hundreds who, by some miracle, did survive were duly taken prisoner. They included two women and a child….
Who were these Iraqis killed in their hundreds, burnt beyond recognition on the Mutla Ridge? It's a fair bet that most of them were nothing more than conscripts—regarded by Saddam Hussein as expendable.51
The story of one division seems to have been typical:
The 24th Division, for example, raced more than sixty miles into Iraq before meeting a single enemy soldier. Even then, the enemy was always looking the wrong way. "Never once did we attack an enemy force that saw us coming or was dug in prepared to defend against our attack," said Major General [Barry R.] McCaffrey. "They were unaware we were there and they were looking the wrong way."52
Little more needs to be said about the character of the war than what General Schwarzkopf told David Frost:
They chose not to stay and fight. That's why, when the armchair strategists are now all saying, "Well obviously there couldn't have been as many people there because the war was over so quickly…" They could have had ten times more people, but the people have to decide to stay and fight. If they don't…you know, a football game can be over very quickly if the other team decides not to play. And that's what you had in this case. I mean, when the kick-off came, O.K., our team was there to play. Our team came to play ball. And, they were not willing to fight.53

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Florida Gulf Coast sure made an entrance at the NCAA tournament.
A school that hasn't even celebrated its first 20-year reunion busted a load of brackets with a 78-68 victory over second-seeded Georgetown on Friday night in the second round of the South Regional.
In just their second season of eligibility for Division I postseason, the Eagles used a 21-2 second-half run to pull away from the Hoyas and then held on in the final minute to become the seventh No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2.
Sherwood Brown scored 24 points and Bernard Thompson had 23 to lead Florida Gulf Coast, the champions of the Atlantic Sun Conference.
FGCU (25-10) will play the winner of the game between seventh-seeded San Diego State and No. 10 Oklahoma on Sunday.
"We didn't come here and have the attitude that we're just glad to be here," said FGCU point guard Brett Comer, who finished with 12 points,10 assists and just two turnovers. "We decided we can play with anybody and we did."
A night after America's oldest university, Harvard, pulled off a major upset over fourth-seeded New Mexico, one of its youngest — FGCU's first student was admitted in 1997 — got one that was even bigger.
The Eagles' monster run gave them a 52-33 lead with 12:28 to play. The Hoyas staged a furious rally to get within 72-68 with 52 seconds left but the Eagles went 6 of 10 from the free throw line to seal it.
"In the second half, we pushed the ball, we got out, we ran, we made shots, got some alley-oop dunks to energize the crowd. I'm very proud of our players," said coach Andy Enfield, whose wife — supermodel Amanda Marcum — was shown several times on the arena's big screen.
For those who don't know FCGU, and that was probably plenty of people as of Friday afternoon, Florida Gulf Coast is a state university in Fort Myers with an enrollment of about 12,000 students.

Dr Andrew Thomas Kania...
INDEX of COMMENTARIES 151-
For index to other commentaries: 1-50 | 51-100 | 101-150
197 : 24 Feb 2014
Background to the present trouble in Ukraine... This is a more personal commentary from Andrew Kania in which he explores two issues. The secondary issue is about racism but it could as well be a myriad of social issues from attitudes to asylum seekers to attitudes to corporal or capital punishment and how attitudes change over time. The more important issue he drives to is given in his title: how we are all slaves of time and place in our attitudes to any number of issues and the challenge in discerning and adopting a God-like outlook. As Catholics or Christians are we not called to a vision that transcends time and place? [more]
196 : 20 Aug 2013
The quest for a God-like outlook towards life... This is a more personal commentary from Andrew Kania in which he explores two issues. The secondary issue is about racism but it could as well be a myriad of social issues from attitudes to asylum seekers to attitudes to corporal or capital punishment and how attitudes change over time. The more important issue he drives to is given in his title: how we are all slaves of time and place in our attitudes to any number of issues and the challenge in discerning and adopting a God-like outlook. As Catholics or Christians are we not called to a vision that transcends time and place? [more]
195 : 13 Aug 2013
An Eclipse of the Heart! At the end of today's commentary, Dr Andrew Kania writes "Most of the greatest heroes that we meet – we pass by; because we don't know the story of their lives; we assume that they are doing well, because they look well – or that they come from a privileged background." This is a reflection on life based on a challenge faced by the American President, Theodore Roosevelt, but not looking at the great things he achieved but looking at an episode in his life which presented a more personal mountain to climb. [more]
194 : 08 Aug 2013
The challenges posed by moral choice... Dr Andrew Kania's commentary today begins with him outlining a dilemma he faced as a boarding house master in disciplining a young man who had crossed a boundary. Should the parent or teacher be lenient in the belief that the best teacher is when the young person learns from their own mistakes or is the correct moral response of the guardian to be authoritarian and a harsh disciplinarian? Andrew brings in the thinking of an ancient seer, Clement of Alexandria, in his attempt to throw light on the challenge. It is a challenge faced by all intelligent people, and not just necessarily with young people. In our forum at the moment there is discussion on the dilemmas faced by Pope Francis as to how far he can go in the signals he transmits about his outlook to discipline within the Church. [more]
193 : 18 Jun 2013
On the Salvation of the Affluent (cf. Mark 10:22) The advice Jesus gave to the rich young man in Mark's Gospel seems uncompromising. Down through the centuries many have taken it literally and given up everything to follow Christ. It poses a particular and constant challenge for all of us in the affluent Western world where our wealth continues to increase: should we give away our wealth to give the poor people of the world a better share? Today's commentary from Dr Andrew Kania explores the meaning in this advice from Jesus. [more]
192 : 11 Jun 2013
Have we become too obsessed in valuing everything in money terms? Before the invention of money, how did the average person value themselves? Today there seems almost an obsession with valuing everything in terms of money. In this present series of commentaries Dr Andrew Kania has been focusing on Catholic social teaching in relation to this questions of how we value ourselves. In this commentary today he has particular focus on some thoughts Pope Francis shared just under a month ago on 16th May. Are we becoming obsessed with money? Is this culture destructive? [more]
191 : 06 Jun 2013
A reflection on our affluence... News reports over recent years indicating that Australian homes are now the largest in the world [For example see: SMH story or ABS figures] has prompted this commentary from Dr Andrew Kania on affluence and Catholic social thinking. It's a commentary that is timely in light of Pope Francis's recent comments on our attitudes towards money and the increasing social and economic inequality in our world [For example see:Guardian story]. [more]
190 : 29 May 2013
The Qualities of a Good Leader: There seems a mood in humanity at the moment that leadership qualities are dropping in almost all spheres of life. Our politicians are on the nose, our church leaders are on the nose, business leaders are on the nose. Dr Andrew Kania's commentary today takes a look the style of leadership displayed by Abraham Lincoln as explored in the 2005 biography of Lincoln and three of his political colleagues written by Doris Kearns Goodwin. This book was the basis for the recent Stephen Spielberg movie, Lincoln. Dr Kania argues in this commentary that Lincoln's style of "servant leadership" might be emulated by leaders in all walks of life today and, in itself, has parallels to the style of leadership modelled by Jesus Christ. [more]
189 : 01 Apr 2013
Exploring the moral in Les Misérables, Part III... In this final essay of the three-part series of commentaries on the novel Les Misérables, Dr Andrew Kania comes to the heart of Victor Hugo's story. Dr Kania argues that captured in Inspector Javert is "the crux of the theme of Hugo's novel — the tension between the individual living according to the letter of the Law, and those living out the spirit of the Law. Javert is in the midst of a great metanoia — a battle for his heart, mind and soul." [more]
188 : 25 Mar 2013
Exploring the moral in Les Misérables, Part II... In this second essay of the three-part series of commentaries on the novel Les Misérables, Dr Andrew Kania suggests the musical and movie adaptations of Victor Hugo's story lost much of the depth and subtlety of what Hugo was seeking to explore. Dr Kania argues: "Les Misérables is a profound novel — a novel that is deeply religious in its nature; a novel of which the central theme, is, what is meant by religion and salvation; and how this theme continually peels away, chapter after chapter, to ask other questions such as: what constitutes goodness — what is the nature of evil — and how the same world corrupts some — and elevates others to sanctity." [more]
187 : 18 Mar 2013
Exploring the moral in Les Misérables, Part I... The novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, originally written in 1862 has an enduring fascinating for humankind. It has recently been re-released in a new Universal Studios movie version starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried. In a three-part series of commentaries, which we will run over the next three Mondays, Dr Andrew Kania presents a series of insights exploring the moral to the entire story. [more]
186 : 04 Mar 2013
The real objective of the spiritual and religious quest... Dr Andrew Kania titled this essay "The presence of God". What it is really all about is the problem any person has in trying to describe "the presence of God". Those who perhaps come closest are mystics but, as you'll discover from the learned minds of some of the writers Andrew introduces you to in this essay, even mystics have a hard time trying to describe their experiences — and the rest of us often have a hard time trying to describe mystics. At its core heart though this is an essay trying to explore what the core objective of the entire religious and spiritual quest is. [more]
185 : 25 Feb 2013
A Fork in the Way (cf. 1 Kings 19: 11-13)... All of us want to make sense of our lives. We yearn for "success" — however we define that term. Life itself though is so often contrary. Today's commentary from Dr Andrew Kania presents two alternative pathways we have in approaching life and making some sense of it. It might seem irrational, or counter-intuitive, to approach life via a negative route but what this man has to say bears much quiet reflecting upon — especially given where the triumphal road to power, glory and dogmatic certitude has led us. [more]
184 : 21 Aug 2012
Would you risk your life for freedom? What drives a person to buy an expensive ticket on a leaky boat to try and get asylum in a country like Australia? What would drive any of us to the point of risking our lives and our futures for years to come to claim freedom and escape persecution? These are the sort of confronting question that you might think of in this concluding commentary from Dr Andrew Kania on freedom. Andrew centres his commentary on a young man whose name is rapidly being forgotten to history. His name was Peter Fetcher. Read on to refresh your memory. [more]
183 : 14 Aug 2012
The origins of moral freedom... Here's another powerful commentary from Dr Andrew Kania that dovetails beautifully with a number of conversations we've been having in the Catholica Forum in recent times about how much the world needs a religion, or simply a sense of the Divine, to create a moral order. Andrew begins the commentary with a question a student posed in class recently about whether it would have been moral to kill Adolf Hitler as a child to save the world from the destruction he subsequently unleashed? Andrew goes on to explore the exploration of this sort of moral dilemma examined by the great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky in his novel The Brothers Karamazov. This is, in essence, an essay examining the source of both morality and moral freedom. [more]
182 : 31 Jul 2012
The limits, and limitations, of freedom! For readers of Catholica who happen to be grandparents with grandchildren coming into adulthood Dr Andrew Kania today provides fodder for a great Sunday luncheon discussion with your offspring. The question on the line is a classic in Western thought: "what is confered by the concept of personal freedom, and what are the limits and responsibilities inherent to freedom?" This is the first part of the three-part essay where Dr Kania examines this concept. In today's commentary he explores the thinking of one of the major philosophers who contributed to our beliefs about freedom, John Stuart Mill. [more]
181 : 24 Jul 2012
Beggar, Thy Neighbour (cf. Luke 16:19-31) What enormous pleasure it is to bring you this commentary from Dr Andrew Kania today. It is largely based on the ideas of the economist and challenging thinker Dr E.F. Schumacher author of "Small is Beautiful: A Study of Economics as if People Mattered". As it happens in about four days time Phoebe Coyne, the editor's daughter and one of Andrew Kania's students at secondary school in the 1990s, leaves Australia to commence an MA in Economics for Transition at Schumacher College at Totnes in Devon, UK. Andrew would have been unaware of this when he submitted this commentary to Catholica about five weeks ago. This commentary today is an examination of some of the spiritual ideas that underpinned much of the economic ideas offered by Dr Schumacher. ...Brian Coyne, Editor [more]
180 : 17 Jul 2012
On Poverty (cf. Matthew 10:28) I confess I have a luxury at the moment in choosing between a collection of commentaries Dr Andrew Kania has submitted to Catholica. I have chosen this one — so it is Brian-incidence rather than God-incidence — because it fits with the discussion still going on on our forum from last Sunday's readings on Providence. What Andrew challenges our neurons with in this essay, principally via some insights from Dr Martin Luther King Jr, are our attitudes to Poverty — both material poverty and spiritual poverty. ...Brian Coyne, Editor [more]

An examination of the spiritual beliefs of a nation builder... We often read of the religious values of the founders of the American nation but little is written of the religious beliefs and values of the founders of the Australian nation. Dr Andrew Kania has unearthed a 1992 study by Al Gaby entitled "The Mystic Life of Alfred Deakin" which gives an interesting insight into the passions and beliefs that drove Alfred Deakin in the values he brought to the table that helped form the nature and character of the Australian nation. [more]

The morality of globalization... There are reasons for concern today that the world economy is in serious difficulties. Shortly before preparing today's commentary by Dr Andrew Kania a link was posted on the Catholica Forum from De Spiegal headlined: "Imagining the Unthinkable – The Disastrous Consequences of a Euro Crash". While sadly much of our time on Catholica is focused, for understandable reasons, on what has gone wrong with Catholicism, one area in which it does have a proud record is in the realms of social justice and social policy. Dr Kania's essay examines some of that legacy in the light of the present global economic problems. [more]

"Enjoying life in 'full' measure (cf John 10:10)" Dr Andrew Kania's commentary today you will find gels in beautifully with some of the recent conversations on Catholica. None of us can honestly say we see ourselves as others see us. Even when we look in a mirror our image is reversed – we know from experience that even a photo or video gives us a distorted image. At times though we have small "epiphanies" in our lives that gives us new insight into how others see us. How do we see ourselves in a "true light" and live our lives "to the full"? [more]

Things that Matter... With the Roman Catholic Church led by an increasingly sad-looking coalition of bully boys and mummy's boys in a seeming retreat from the higher standards of morality and ethical behaviour that was held out as a promise of the Second Vatican Council, Dr Andrew Kania today takes up his pen on the issue of journalistic ethics and morality. The current Leveson Inquiry being conducted in London into the culture, practice and ethics in journalism and its relationship with politics and other centres of power provides the backdrop for this essay in which Dr Kania takes a look back at an earlier historical example where journalism fell down: the reporting of The Holodomor — the Ukrainian Genocide that occurred 80 years ago. This essay might be a jumping off point for discussion of journalistic ethics, the declining standards in institutional morality, the current scandals in the Vatican coming via Vatikleaks, and much more. It even ties in with the present conversation on our forum on the future capacity of institutionalised religion to be setting the moral compass for society. [more]
175 : 05 Jun 2012
What does it take to be "born again"? In the fourth essay examining the legacy of the Dominican theologian Yves Congar and the Second Vatican Council, Dr Andrew Kania takes us into some interesting territory in light of the current developments within the Church. Just yesterday in NCR there is an article by Robert McClory: "Major Vatican assault coming in October, says former Maryknoll provincial" [LINK]. It is essentially a battle over the two different interpretations that exist in the Church on the meaning, and interpretation, of the Second Vatican Council. If McClory is correct, all of us – whichever side we happen to line up on – may find ourselves "tested" in the sort of ways this essay is discussing. [more]
174 : 29 May 2012
How much reform was expected from Vatican II? In the third of what is now a series examining the legacy of the Dominican theologian Yves Congar and the Second Vatican Council, Dr Andrew Kania today explores Congar's thoughts on the degree of reform that the Council might embrace. Dr Kania argues that Congar represented a "golden mean" between the extreme positions of the liberals and conservatives. This essay might be the basis for a good conversation on Catholica on our own perceptions and also on what the likely outcome might be on what has actually occurred since Dr Congar expressed his thoughts long before the Council in this recently re-issued book "True and False Reform in the Church" originally published in 1950. [more]
173 : 11 May 2012
What is the place of the laity in Catholicism? Can lay people rescue this Church in crisis? In preparation for a forthcoming Conference on Vatican II to be held in Sydney next month, Dr Andrew Kania has been studying the insights of Dr Yves Congar – one of the theologians who had great influence at the Council. Dr Kania will be one of the keynote speakers at the Conference. In this commentary today the focus is on not just Yves Congar's appreciation of the importance and role of the laity in the Church but it draws on insights of Cardinal Newman and some of the history of Andrew's own heritage in the Ruthenian/Ukrainian Church on the critical role the laity have played in saving the Church at various points in history. This essay as well as being educative for us Latins of some of the history of our Eastern cousins in Catholicism provides commentary on the present challenge facing the institution. Might history repeat itself and again it might be lay people who end up pulling the institution out of the present bog it seems to be immersed in? [more]
172 : 04 May 2012
The unfinished challenge of Vatican II... Dr Andrew Thomas Kania brings us a commentary today that will find enthusiastic support from the sort of readership attracted to Catholica. He is exploring a theme in the writings of one of the vibrant minds that helped guide the Second Vatican Council, the theologian Fr Yves Congar. Is our ecclesial mission to the one per cent in humanity or the ninety-nine percent? Is the mission of the Church to be appeasing the insecurities of some remnant element in society or to be bringing the 'Good News' to ALL of humankind? [more]
171 : 19 Apr 2011
The Whole Story (cf John 14:26) Dr Andrew Thomas Kania commentary today looks at the provocative issue of how we define our faith. It's a question that many readers of Catholica confront in their life and faith journey — particularly for those who are finding themselves increasingly distanced, alienated or disenchanted from the institution they have supported for so long. Dr Kania draws largely on some definitions provided by the Jesuit writer and theologian, William O'Malley. Do you agree with this set of "non-negotiables" or would you nuance it slightly differently? Andrew's original title for this essay is "The Whole Story (cf. John 14:26)". [more]
170 : 12 Apr 2011
Come Back to Me (cf Ezekiel 33:11) Catholicism is paradoxical — a contradiction. It insists on Christ being the truth but it is gentle, rather than insistent in forcing belief in the truth of Christ on any person. The way some fundamentalist Catholics carry on one could be forgiven for not believing that. In the lead-up to Easter Dr Andrew Thomas Kania's examines this paradox through the Gospel story of the Woman at the Well and through some observations of Desiderius Erasmus on how to respond to Martin Luther and the Protestant reformers. Andrew's title for the essay is "Come Back To Me" (cf Ezekiel 33:11) This essay fits so well with the style we encourage here at Catholica. It is an essay arguing against Catholic fundamentalism — and essay seeking to rediscover the essential teaching style of Jesus. [more]
169 : 05 Apr 2011
Lip Service (cf Matthew 25:31-46) Dr Andrew Thomas Kania's commentary today is a reflection poignant to this Lenten time of the year and with a certain poignancy to today's editorial on Catholica [LINK]. It draws together insights from one of Australia's great writers, Henry Lawson, and marries them in with insights from one of the ancient seers of the Eastern Church, John Chrysostom. It's a reflection on our constant struggle as human beings with hypocrisy — paying lip service to what we really believe. In fact, Dr Kania titled the essay "Lip Service" and presents it as a reflection on these verses in Matthew's Gospel: Chapter 25 vs 31-46 [LINK]. [more]
168 : 29 Mar 2011
The meaning of the Hypostatic union to us... Today's commentary by Dr Andrew Kania is one you might want to spend a little time with. At one level he's looking at this age-old puzzle of the two natures of Christ — the Divine and the human. At a second level it is all about us. In fact his original title for the essay is "God with Us (cf Jeremiah 1:5)". Why did Jesus choose uneducated fisherman as the leaders of his movement? Does that tell us something of the nature/natures of God and Jesus? What does it tell us about us and our mission in life? [more]
167 : 22 Mar 2011
To make Catholicism strong: let all the lights shine! Today's lead commentary from Dr Andrew Kania is with little doubt the single most powerful and incisive commentary we have yet published on Catholica. It is written with an eye to events on an international canvas. In fact it is not new. It was published in 2008 in the print edition of The Tablet and was under an embargo not to be published anywhere else for 12 months. It is now online in The Tablet HERE. The timing in publishing the article here on Catholica today is probably even more poignant. Catholicism, if it is to become a vibrant force again in the world needs to re-discover the strength that comes from its diversity in rites, cultures, liturgical expression, prayer forms, and its thinking. As Andrew says in ending the article, in the prelude to a quote from Friedrich von Hügel "Christ is too large for any single culture fully to comprehend!" We need diversity to get our head around Christ ... and the Divine. ...Brian Coyne, Editor [more]

The Impossible Dream: Part 2 Jesus Christ is not logical but paradoxical. Following Christ is about learning to live with paradox. Christ, like many other great leaders in history was seen as a fool in his own time, his insight and greatness only recognised after his death. The pursuit of truth is an exercise in foolishness in a rational world and one that places great store on social conformity and wanting to be liked and respected. These are the essential lessons Dr Andrew Kania seeks to draw out from this conclusion to his exploration of the novel Don Quixote. [more]
165 : 15 Feb 2011
The Impossible Dream: Part 1 We all love watching films and reading novels. Dr Andrew Kania today begins an exploration of one of the most successful stories of all time, Don Quixote. We think of the name Don Quixote in association with the phrase, "the impossible dream". Life for all of us is something of an "impossible dream" as it was for the characters in Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's novel. Andrew suggests we hold in our mind this verse from 1 Corinthians as we read this commentary: "If it was God's wisdom that human wisdom should not know God, it was because God wanted to save those who have faith through the foolishness of the message that we preach". (1:21) [more]
164 : 08 Feb 2011
Part 2 of a series on leadership: Last night on television across Australia we had two programs which were effectively critiques of the leadership of this country's first female prime minister, Julia Gillard. She is not the first agnostic to lead a nation but her example might provide fodder for a discussion that contrasts with the picture of leadership Dr Andrew Kania explores in today's commentary. Dr Kania argues King Alfred the Great earned his greatness from two explicit qualities: his ability to unify a nation; and his emphasis on the education of his people. Ms Gillard certainly places an emphasis on the importance of education. It's probably still up for debate if she is a unifying force. Andrew also argues another quality in a leader is a sense of humility — a sense of being "a servant to a higher calling and Reality". It's an interesting topic for discussion both regarding political leaders and spiritual leaders. How important do you think it is that no leader think of themself as God? How important do you think it is that every leader have some sense of humility that they are also subject to a reality or power greater than any of us? [more]
163 : 01 Feb 2011
Part 1 of a series on leadership: Now here's something to think about ... and have a good conversation about: Dr Andrew Kania introduces a two-part series today exploring the nature of leadership. In this commentary the focus is on King Alfred the Great and is more or less background to what he wants to open-up on next week. The last paragraph today is the crucial one: we'd all agree that leadership is important. The question is does good moral leadership necessarily lead to all the nice things Andrew outlines in the last paragraph? So often in history it seems the crooks and bad guys win. Life for many is marked by injustice and unfairness meted out at the hands of tyrants. What are the lessons in all of this? What is the reward for courage and moral integrity? Why do we need public behaviour to be matched with private integrity in our secular or spiritual leaders? Dr Kania provides meat for a good discussion. [more]

Celebrating the Byzantine Christmas... A special commentary from Dr Andrew Kania today as we wish our readers from the Byzantine Rite — and we have quite a few of you especially from Canada, Australia and Europe largely thanks to Dr Kania the blessings of this special season of the year. In this commentary Andrew relates the sad, but instructive, story behind a Byzantine Carol that has become a great favorite in the West as well. [more]
161 : 25 Dec 2010
Of Stories and Truth... With this Christmas commentary from Dr Andrew Kania we wish all our readers and members of Catholica a deeply happy Christmas and total spiritual fulfilment in whatever your New Year brings. [more]
160 : 14 Dec 2010
The Goats... BEWARE: Today's commentary from Dr Andrew Kania is as likely to be seen as confronting to conservatives as it is to liberals. It is the long-delayed second part of a commentary from Andrew we published back in April this year looking at the clerical abuse crisis in the Church. You may or may not agree with everything that Dr Kania argues but we are sure you will agree that this is a thought-provoking and powerful commentary. [more]
159 : 07 Dec 2010
The will to live against the odds... There ar some inspiring lines in this commentary from Dr Andrew Kania. Broadly he's exploring the will to live in times of adversity using the story of New York Yankees baseball legend, Lou Gehrig. It's about character building and finding the Spirit within. [more]
158 : 30 Nov 2010
On Commitment... In many ways this commentary from Dr Andrew Kania is in significant contrast to the discussions we've been having on Catholica concerning the decline in Sacramental meaning and participation. It is a commentary that cuts to the meaning of Sacrament and Sign and obliquely raises questions as to why Commitment has declined in contemporary society. Or has it simply started to find expression in new ways? [more]
157 : 23 Nov 2010
The importance of conscience in guiding us to happiness and heaven... Dr Andrew Kania begins today's commentary examining Shakespeare's play, Henry VI. He then links these insights into the observations of an earlier writer, St Gregory of Nazianzen looking at the follies of human behaviour. By coincidence the editor of Catholica had earlier today written some comments about the human aspiration for heaven in today's email which readers might like to also reflect on. [more]
156 : 16 Nov 2010
Searching for an authentic Christology to live by... Today's commentary from Dr Andrew Kania is not a long way removed from many of the present discussions on Catholica discussing alternative ways of reclaiming our spirituality. The authentic Christian is not driven by some deep need to prove how much better, or more holy, they are than anyone else. They are driven by a desire to befriend those who might think differently — a desire to understand their perspectives on life even if they themselves do not accept the alternative perspectives. Andrew suggests Jesus is the model but so are saints like Dominic, Francis and Ignatius. [more]
155 : 18 Oct 2010
SAINTHOOD REALITY CHECK! After the emotional high so many experienced yesterday at the events surrounding the canonisation of Australia's first saint, Dr Andrew Kania brings us back to earth in this reality check essay which he entitled "All Saints (cf. Matthew 21:31)". Many are saints though few will get the sort of acknowledgement given to Mary MacKillop! [more]
154 : 28 Sep 2010
Our aspiration to see the "goodness" of God... It is arguable that buried deep down in the human spirit is this quest for what we describe as "goodness". The word "goodness" is related to "Godness". We aspire to the goodness of God. But can we measure the "goodness" of God? In this commentary, Dr Andrew Kania explores this quest for goodness and Godness in this essay which he originally entitled "Godness"... [more]
153 : 21 Sep 2010
The power of a good story to teach... The acclaimed Czech novelist Milan Kundera has written a number of books exploring deeply the things that drive, or characterise the human spirit. In this commentary, Dr Andrew Kania explores some of the territory covered by Kundera in his sixth novel, Immortality. It is largely an exploration of the shifting social and cultural paradigm that drives our behaviour and thinking. Rich material here for quiet meditation. [more]
152 : 07 Aug 2010
The importance in getting our communications right... Today's commentary from Andrew Kania provides much fuel for discussion on a number of fronts. The principal thrust of his reflection though is all about the importance of using appropriate language and symbol in our communications. The genius of Jesus was his ability to communicate using parable and symbol. Andrew titled this essay "On Teaching" and reminds us of the awe expressed by the companions of Jesus after he had left their company on the Road to Emmaus [Luke 24:32]. [more]
151 : 01 Jun 2010
Our Life Journey... Most people remember Malcolm Fraser's dictum "Life wasn't meant to be easy". It's a phrase many people themselves use at one stage or another about their own life journey. Today's reflection from Andrew Kania is a reflection on the life experience of one man who narrowly escaped the Hindenberg disaster. At the time he was a cabin boy on the Hindenberg when it crashed in 1937 at Lakehurst Airfield, New Jersey. What lessons might all of us learn from reflecting on the experience of this cabin boy, Werner Franz? [more]

I Give It A Year
See all showtimes for all Weymouth cinemas >>
Nat and Josh enjoy a whirlwind romance and are looking forward to getting to know each better other as husband and wife. Nine months later, they are in marriage counselling. A depressed Josh seeks refuge in the company of kooky old flame Chloe, who has been abroad for years and clearly still adores him. Meanwhile, corporate high flier Nat is wooed by charming American businessman Guy, who can offer her the excitement and lifestyle she craves.
Parting is such bittersweet sorrow in Dan Mazer's London-set anti-rom com. I Give It A Year deviates from a well-trodden narrative path by quickly declaring its intention to split up the central married couple in order to pair them off with more suitable soul mates. The gamble that we'll whoop and cheer all the way to the divorce courts doesn't quite pay off because Mazer tempers heartbreak with sentimentality, contriving a final flourish slathered in so much syrupy emotion, you can feel the teeth rotting in your head as the end credits roll. There's no period of emotional devastation for characters to come to terms with their inevitable separation and loss, no self-reflection or crippling guilt - just a seamless transition from a doomed relationship to eternal bliss. The film begins with the wedding of Nat (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Rafe Spall), who have enjoyed a whirlwind romance and are looking forward to getting to know each better other as husband and wife. A toe-curling speech from best man Danny (Stephen Merchant) is the first bad omen and nine months later we find the couple in a counselling session with a sardonic therapist (Olivia Colman) plagued by her own relationship issues. A depressed Josh seeks refuge in the company of kooky old flame Chloe (Anna Faris), who has been abroad for years and clearly still adores him. Meanwhile, corporate high flier Nat is wooed by charming American businessman Guy (Simon Baker). While clearly tempted, she doesn't want to hurt Josh. "You're a Ferrari and he's a Volvo," she tells Guy. "Right now, I need to be behind the wheel of a Volvo. I need reliability." Sooner rather than later, we know that she will succumb to a test drive of a racier model. I Give It A Year has moments of genuine hilarity and the cast wrings every last titter from Mazer's potty-mouthed and bawdy script. The writer-director orchestrates some hilarious interludes courtesy of the supporting characters, such as Danny's best man's speech that lurches from political incorrectness to crudity, and an unfortunate set of holiday snaps. Scene-stealing supporting performances include Merchant as a hapless ladies' man and Minnie Driver as Nat's acid-tongued sister, Naomi, whose love-hate relationship with her spouse (Jason Flemyng) errs towards enmity. "I'd ruin Bieber," grins Naomi, lustfully imagining a liaison with the teenage pop sensation. Spall and Byrne are likable and the film makes a compelling case for Nat and Josh to find happiness in the arms of Guy and Chloe instead. However, when cinematic hearts can be broken and then seemingly mended in the blink of an eye, it's difficult to muster empathy for the characters or place any value in new and supposed healthier relationships.

Samsung builds phone from corn
A mobile phone with a case made entirely from an eco-friendly material has been unveiled by Samsung. The case wrapping Samsung's E200 is constructed entirely from what the manufacturer calls "bio-plastic," which it's previously claimed is more environmentally friendly because it's naturally extracted from corn rather than …
Oh Great
Another thing to be made from Corn, don't these people read the news, apparently all this ethanol production is forcing the world to starve, plus the way corn prices are going this will be a hell of an expensive phone.
I'm not sure if that's accurate or not, but I reckon we should be making stuff out of algae, I love algae products, their so soft and huggable.

According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 3 million Americans suffer from some form of celiac disease, which is the inability to digest glutens found primarily in wheat. With many Americans consuming a wheat flour-based diet, celiac disease is on the rise—yet most people don't even know they have the condition. Dr. Oz discusses the diagnosis and treatment of this widely underdiagnosed disease with Dr. Peter Green, director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University.
What is it? Celiac disease is an ailment where you have an inflammation in your gut related to glutens, the term for the storage protein of wheat. That inflammatory process erodes the lining of your intestine so it doesn't have the absorptive surface you need to bring key nutrients into the body. What are the symptoms? Dr. Green says the most common symptoms are abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea. Other common manifestations are anemia (an iron deficiency), chronic fatigue and even osteoporosis, especially in males or premenopausal females. In addition, you could have dental enamel defects that appear as white or brown spots or bands on your teeth. How is it diagnosed? Dr. Green says it's very easy to establish a diagnosis with sensitive and specific blood tests. If blood test results are positive, patients are referred to a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy followed by a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. How is it treated? Dr. Green says patients begin to see dramatic improvement in a matter of weeks simply by following a gluten-free diet. People with celiac disease should avoid wheat, rye and barley products, and foods such as bread, pasta and beer. Advertisement

Say Goodbye To Crying!: The Onion Bully
The Onion Bully is a metal shoehorn you put in your mouth while cutting onions that's supposed to prevent you from crying. Plus you look cool. Really cool.
The power of the Onion Bullyâ"¢ is tear science. When you put the Onion Bullyâ"¢ in your mouth, it actually tells your body to turn off your tear ducts so you can't cry!
Tear science? I practically invented it. Wanna help me with an experiment? Awesome. Now you stand still while I kick you in the balls. *WOOPF* Are you crying? Success. I smell a Nobel prize!
