The Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals will face off in a winner take all Game 5 tomorrow night in Philadelphia as Roy Halladay will square off against Chris Carpenter.
The Division Series games have not disappointed following a wild finish on the last day of the regular season. Three of the four matchups have been pushed to a Game 5…amazing. The Phillies haven't been playing like the Phillies and to be honest I think tomorrow's game can go either way as Lance Berkman and the rest of the Cardinals showed us that they are not easily intimidated on the road.
The Colorado Rockies claimed David Wright of waiver this summer to no avail, but they plan on making a strong push for him this off-season.
In my opinion, Wright isn't going anywhere. There have been conflicting reports on how Jose Reyes will impact the team's decision with Wright so we can assume no one really knows what the Mets are thinking. I think Reyes will sign elsewhere meaning the Mets, realizing they can't lose both icons, will keep Wright in New York.
Ozzie Guillen and the Florida Marlins have decided to keep most of the coaching staff intact. Here's a rundown of the moves.
What's interesting here is how Joey Cora is following Guillen to Florida to serve as the teams bench coach. I imagined Cora would be next in line after Guillen's tenure ended with the White Sox, or he would at least pursue a managerial position with another team.
Amazingly after just his second full major league season, Jason Heyward's future with the Atlanta Braves is uncertain.
Heyward had a disappointing sophomore season, but he was nagged by injuries through most of it. I didn't watch him enough on a nightly basis to fully understand why he's fallen out of favor in Atlanta but the reality is that he's too good of a baseball player to not improve next season.
Anyone who watched Henry Rodriquez pitch this year knew they were in for an interesting inning. The starter turned reliever hopes to improve his command this off-season.
Rodriquez has me scratching my head. He allowed just one home run in 65.2 innings pitched but also lead the league with 14 wild pitches. He certainly is effective, but the Nationals can't afford to have someone as wild as he's been coming in late in games.

I got Scruffy from the Humane Society when I was 12 years old and in
a couple of months I'll be 28. Through the twists and turns of
adolescence and young adulthood, Scruffy was part of a handful of
constants in my life. He was always there to play with, snuggle with
and of course he was an excellent confidant. He was always perky and
happy-even in the end he'd exhaust himself just to play for a few
minutes. A few weeks ago we had to make a hard decision and say
goodbye. I'll never forget coming home to the adorably guilty look
on his face that said "I got in the garbage again, and I'm
sorry….again". How he would jump and bark with excitement when
anyone said "snausage", a word resembling sausage, or even walked
past the cupboard where the treats were kept. There are hundreds of
stories that could capture what a good dog he was-he will always be
loved and missed. Goodbye my dear friend.

A. Jalil, Dzainuddin (1997) Power Corporation Sdn. Bhd. a Case Study. Masters project report, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
This report has been prepared to present the case study project conducted by the author for the final semester course of his UPM/YPM off-campus program for the degree of Master in Business Administration (MBA). The two-year program was jointly organised by the Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Putra Malaysia and Yayasan Pe1ajaran Mara. As the core subject of this case study, the author attempts to demonstrate the importance of quality customer service to the performance of a business organization. The work focusses on how customer service can be exploited as a strategic tool by a company to gain competitive advantage in the open market environment. For the case analysis, SWOT strategic analytical technique has been used to identify the company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the formulation of various alternative strategies as probable solutions to the problem. To verify the validity of the alternative solution, another strategic analysis methodology called the SPACE Model was used. The evaluation and selection of the best alternative strategy was based on a qualitative and quantitative methodology by using the Cost-Benefit analysis. In view of the current economic scenario where most of the Asian countries are experiencing a sudden downturn due to speculative attacks on their currencies, it become more difficult for management to forecast the market outlook both in the short and long term perspective.In today's open market environment where globalization and liberalization were the rules of the game in most of the world economics, a company regardless of its size, could not afford to stay within its domestic shores in order to survive and excell in the ever increasing competition Despite the prevailing market instability, managers could strive to improve and maintain the perfonnance of their company's businesses strategically through the promotion and enforcement of quality customer service. Without good customer service, a company would not be able to keep its competitive advantage even if the products offered are of high quality standard. Customer service would be the key focus in any business organization - today and the future. The importance of its role is unarguable because it is the primary factor towards achieving customer satisfaction. Satisfied customers will stay loyal to a company's products and services and would be less likely to be influenced by the competitors.

The report makes no assessment of major national efforts in adapting buildings and public transit for accessibility. (Four sentences in Chapter 4 assert that adaptive devices and environmental modifications are useful and essential components of a prevention program.)
There is no analysis of occupational causes of disability, although they are known to be important factors in injury and some chronic disease. The major national effort to prevent occupationally caused disabilities (the Occupational Health and Safety Act, in place since 1973) is ignored in the report.
There is also a major national effort to prevent what might be called secondary learning disabilities, in the form of the Education for All Handicapped Children's Act and the early intervention program added in the 1986 amendments to that law. The aim of these programs is to ensure that children with physical, developmental, and emotional deficits receive whatever services are necessary for them to derive maximum benefit from their education and to prevent their being handicapped later on in social, intellectual, and vocational skills. These two programs merit half a page in Chapter 4. The report neither evaluates the experience of these programs nor considers how to make better use of them to prevent disability.
Within the area of injury control, automobile safety programs, various methods to curtail drunk-driving, and gun control measures are extremely important aspects of disability prevention. Although the report mentions these measures, it does not examine the large empirical literatures relevant to them. Nor does the report simply recommend that programs be instituted in these areas, although, as I show below, the committee makes recommendations for major national programs in other, less controversial areas (research, education, and training) without examining the empirical evidence of need or effectiveness.
The report neglects (except for some cursory mentions with intense obfuscation) prenatal genetic testing, mass screening for genetic defects, and abortion of affected fetuses. I take up this topic in more detail below because it is the issue that most clearly revealed the politicization of the committee's deliberative process.
Bland as the recommendations are, there is still a puzzling disparity between the body of the report and its recommendations. Most of the report is concerned with epidemiological and clinical information of the sort that would be useful in designing primary prevention programs (i.e., preventing disability before it happens). Most of the recommendations, on the other hand, are aimed not at primary prevention but at developing the "infrastructure" for a prevention policy—that is, data bases, research programs, training programs to develop manpower, government leadership programs, and coordinating agencies.
The decision to focus the recommendations on infrastructure instead of

More details are filtering in about yesterday's explosion at the General Motors Technical Center battery research lab in Warren, MI.
First, the number of people injured has climbed to five, with one taken to the hospital and four treated at the scene. The local deputy fire chief said none of the injuries were life-threatening. The fire department also told the local mayor that it was fumes from hydrogen sulfide that caused the explosion, but GM declined to comment on that aspect. We learned yesterday that a battery under "extreme testing" caused the explosion.
According to The Detroit News' David Shepardson on Twitter, "Chemical gases from the battery cells were released and ignited in the enclosed chamber. The battery itself was intact" and, "All areas of the Alternative Energy Center except for the battery lab and adjacent offices will operate normally on Thursday."
Unnamed sources have told the media that it was a prototype battery pack made by A123 that caused the fire. Fox News says that pack was being tested for use in the Chevy Spark EV and other all-electric vehicles. Batteries made by A123 were recently involved in a $55-million replacement effort in the Fisker Karma.

If you know the split locations (some are easily missed by first time runner) and the estimated splits to each location then a standard watch will do the trick.
But one that shows altitude can prove to be a handy way to answer the ever so important question of "how much of this thing is left." The finishing altitude is 14,100 ft (give or take a bit). You start at 6,300. At 10,200 (barr camp) you are more or less halfway there. :-)

UPDATED: Shakira isn't going anywhere.
NBC has locked down judges for the next two cycles of The Voice.
Speculation have run rampant as to who will sit in the red swivel chairs this fall and spring, with major media outlets declaring Shakira will exit the series for good after the singer said told reporters she wasn't planning to return. There have also been rumors that Usher was finished with the show, too.
And it was all partly true. Shakira and Usher won't be back … in the fall.
According to sources close to the negotiations, this fall's edition will reunite the original lineup: Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and, yes, Cee Lo Green. In addition, Carson Daly will return as host for both cycles.
For next spring, cycle 6, The Voice will then switch back to its current lineup, which has made for a surprisingly successful shakeup this season. NBC is finalizing deals with Shakira and Usher, who will take the stage along with Levine and Shelton. READ FULL STORY

6 Signs Your Child Is Experiencing Separation Anxiety
When It's More Than Just the Back-to-School Blues
NEW YORK (Aug 21, 2014)
Most children experience some degree of apprehension and excitement as the first day of school approaches, but what does it mean when a child is overcome with fear at the thought of separating from parents and caregivers to go to class?
This overwhelming fear may be a sign of separation anxiety disorder, a condition characterized by a school-aged child's extreme fear and nervousness of separating from loved ones.
"Upwards of 5 percent of children between the ages of 7 and 11 years old suffer from separation anxiety disorder in the United States. In severe cases, this condition can hamper a child's academic performance and social interactions, and can get in the way of achieving important developmental milestones at the same rate as peers," says Dr. John Walkup, director of child and adolescent psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. "Early detection and treatment is the best way to ensure full recovery."
As parents prepare for the new school year, here are a few telltale signs that a child may be experiencing separation anxiety:
- Worrying that bad things will happen when separated. Separation fears can be triggered when the child leaves for school or when the parents leave for work or go out for dinner.
- Refusing to go to school. Dropping your child off at school usually entails long, tearful goodbyes and may escalate to tantrums or a complete refusal to go to school.
- Difficulty concentrating on schoolwork. Watch for signs of academic difficulties such as inability to follow directions, focus during class or complete assignments. Schoolwork may suffer if a child is overcome by worries related to separation anxiety.
- Avoiding activities outside of the home. In an effort to limit time spent away from home, a child may avoid participating in activities such as play dates, sleepovers at other children's homes or school trips.
- Trouble sleeping. A child may have trouble falling asleep without a parent or caregiver present and may come into the parent's bedroom at night with separation fears. In some instances, the child may have nightmares about separation.
- Frequent physical complaints. A child may experience headaches, fear of choking or vomiting, difficulty swallowing – especially swallowing pills – and stomach aches in the morning on school days. Once at school, the child may visit the nurse's office several times in one day seeking to return home.
Although parents and school staff can make accommodations for children with separation anxiety disorder, many children continue to suffer even after substantial accommodations have been made.
There are proven treatments for separation anxiety that can make a big difference in a child's mood, schoolwork and relationships with his or her parents. Treatments can include a specific form of psychotherapy called cognitive behavioral therapy and medication used alone or in combination with psychotherapy.

Bethesda, MD (Oct. 1, 2012) -- Patients at average risk of colorectal cancer who have a clean colonoscopy do not need to repeat the test for 10 years. This and many other practical recommendations for cancer prevention were issued in "Guidelines for Colonoscopy Surveillance After Screening and Polypectomy,"1 a consensus update issued by the U.S. Multisociety Task Force on Colorectal Cancer.
Colorectal cancer is preventable when precancerous polyps (growths) are found and removed before they turn into cancer. Screening for average risk patients is recommended to begin at age 50, and there are many screening tests available. During a colonoscopy, a physician examines the full length of the large intestine and removes polyps. Surveillance refers to the schedule on which doctors recheck patients for recurring polyps after their first screening.
The U.S. Multisociety Task Force -- comprised of representatives of the American College of Gastroenterology, the American Gastroenterological Association and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy -- evaluated the guidelines for colorectal cancer surveillance published in 2006 to determine if they should be updated based on new evidence.
"The U.S. Multisociety Task Force believes that the evidence supporting current recommendations for screening and surveillance intervals has become stronger in the past six years," said David Lieberman, MD, lead author of the guidelines. "While these guidelines are dynamic and will continue be revised in the future as new evidence emerges, we believe the guidelines represent the best science available for the screening, surveillance and prevention of colorectal cancer."
The task force recommends that all endoscopists monitor key quality indicators as part of a colonoscopy screening and surveillance program. The following colonoscopy schedule is recommended following a patient's initial high-quality exam:
|Initial exam finds no polyps or small (< 10 mm) hyperplastic polyps in the rectum or sigmoid colon
|Next colonoscopy in 10 years
|Initial exam finds low-risk adenomas defined as 1-2 tubular adenomas <10mm
|Next colonoscopy in 5-10 years
|Initial exam finds benign, but high-risk neoplastic polyps
Includes: adenoma >=10mm, or with villous histology, high grade dysplasia; three or more adenomas; sessile serrated lesions which are dysplastic and/or >=10mm
|Next colonoscopy in 3 years
The full guidelines are available online at http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(12)00812-8/fulltext.
The guidelines also provide advice on murky areas related to colorectal cancer screening:

SAN DIEGO - Claudio Vargas pitches well here. Hits well here, too. Vargas showed he could hold his breath, too, while becoming the staff's third double-digit winner Saturday in a 5-3 victory over San Diego, a victory that might have thrown the closer's job into limbo.
After Vargas three-hit the Padres through seven innings and drove in the first two runs with a two-out double in the fifth inning, the D-Backs just held on to even the series before 34,250 at Petco Park.
San Diego scored two runs without getting the ball out of the infield in the ninth inning and had the potential winning run on first base when Tony Pena got his first career save by striking out Mark Bellhorn with the bases loaded.
Closer Jorge Julio walked three of the five men he faced before being removed for Pena after throwing 28 pitches, 10 strikes.
"I was uncomfortable with the walks," manager Bob Melvin said, before adding, "He's still our closer, but it just didn't feel at the time he had good command. That's why I went with somebody else."
Pena gave up an infield single to Geoff Blum to drive in a run and walked Mike Piazza on a full count before getting out of the jam.
"It feels good," the softspoken Pena said.
Julio gave up two runs in each of the last two games to move his ERA to 4.29 in his three months with the DBacks. Pena's dropped to 2.95.
"We're going to figure a way to figure it out," Melvin said about Julio's control issues.
The D-Backs (62-61) moved a full game ahead of San Diego into second place in the NL West.
Vargas (10-8) joined Brandon Webb (13-5) and Miguel Batista (10-7) in giving the D-Backs the only rotation in the NL with three 10-game winners.
Vargas has given up one run and seven hits in 14 innings at Petco Park this season and has made quality starts in five of his last six outings.
"Ever since (Juan) Cruz was taken out of the rotation, he's had two of his better starts," said Melvin, who put Cruz in the bullpen when Livan Hernandez was acquired from Washington two weeks ago.
"Maybe he's relaxed a little bit more."
San Diego never had more than one runner on base in any inning, scoring on Todd Walker's triple and a sacrifice fly to cut the D-Backs' lead to 2-1 in the fifth.
Vargas had given the DBacks a 2-0 lead off emergency starter Mike Thompson, subbing for Clay Hensley, when he doubled in the gap in left-center after Orlando Hudson and Chris Snyder was intentionally walked.
"That's the second time they've walked someone to get to me," said Vargas, who singled in a run against Los Angeles on May 1 when Hudson walked in front of him.
Asked what he was more pleased about, the outing or the hit, Vargas said:
Vargas struck out five and walked two, and his ERA dropped to 4.89, the lowest it has been since before the All-Star break.
"Claudio was about as good as he's pitched all year," Melvin said. "His slider was good. His change-up was good. He mixed it up, went in and out very well."
The D-Backs gave Vargas some wiggle room in the sixth when a walk and singles by Shawn Green and Stephen Drew drove in one run before a wild pitch scored another. Eric Byrnes hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth.

While Snowdon has many paths with varying difficulty, most Three Peaks Challengers
will follow either the Pyg Track or Miners Track, leaving from the Pen-y-Pass car
park, on the A4086. While this car park can be full at weekends, further parking
is available either to the East, at Pen-y-Gwryd, or to the West at Nant Perris.
Shuttle buses run every half hour or so during busy times, between all three car parks.
Both the PYG track and Miners track are marked on the Snowdon OL 17 OS Explorer Map.
During the Summer months, the Snowdon visitor centre, Hafod Eryri, will be open
at the peak, for a quick refreshment before descending.
The postcode for the Pen y Pass car park at Snowdon is LL55 4NY.
Please see our accommodation page for places to stay nearby.
Leaving from the Pen-y-Pass car park, the Pyg Track leaves from the higher level
area of the car park. Beginning as a tarmac path, it is mostly rocky with steps
towards the top. A large upright stone half an hour from the top marks the join
of the Miners Track. A second upright stone at the base of the final ascent marks
with other paths, including Crib Goch.
The Pyg track includes a distance of 7 miles, 11km, up and down, and an ascent of 723 metres.
See the map of Snowdon in full screen.
The Miners Track also begins from Pen-y-Pass, but leaves from the opposite side
of the car park. The Miners Track is largely smooth, as it winds around Llyn Teyrn,
Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn - the three lakes leading to the peak of Snowdon. The Miners
Track then ascends quickly, to join the Pyg Track, and continue to the peak of Snowdon.
When descending, the Miners Track intersection with the Pyg Track is marked by a
large standing stone.
Also starting from the Pen y Pass car park, the Miner's Track also ascends 723 metres, and is 8 miles, 13km, up and down.
Most groups completing the Three Peaks Challenge will arrive here by car or minibus. There is limited parking available
Travelling home from Snowdon is best done by train from Bangor, which has good connections to the north and south via the West Midlands. thetrainline.com

Documenting for another nurse?
- 1Sep 18, '13 by barnstormin'Feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this. A friend of mine works at a snf that wants the RN's to document on the LPN's patients, even though they do not work on that unit and don't even see those residents during the shift. I told her that that is a really bad idea, I personally think it's a legal nightmare waiting to happen. What's worse is that her DON is on board with it.
- 2Sep 18, '13 by CaringGerinurse525At the LTC facility I work at the RN is the supervisor and therefore is responsible for all the residents in the building. The LPNs are in charge of each hall and chart on their patients. The RN charts on falls, incidents (they all must be followed up for 72hrs). The RN also charts any deaths or change in condition that they assess. There are many other circumstances in which the RN would chart on a resident. I don't think it is ridiculous to ask your friend to chart on patients. Obviously she should know the patient or assess their condition before doing so.
- 6Sep 18, '13 by classicdame GuideIt is against the law in Texas. Each license carries its own authoirty, responsibility, and accountability. You cannot document what you did not witness. We are not allowed to "sign after" an LVN, student or anyone else, unless we witnessed the event.
- 0Sep 18, '13 by barnstormin'Classicdame, that is exactly the concern I have for her. She doesn't even see these people, there are forty beds on each unit as well as her own. She is supervisor of the three units weekends and when needed, the only residents she is actually familiar with are her own. She can't even place names with faces on the other units. How can you be expected to chart on patients without actually caring for them?
- 4Sep 18, '13 by classicdame Guidesomeone needs to look at the nurse practice act or call the BON for clarification. The LVN has a license to protect too.
- 1Sep 18, '13 by xoemmylouoxWhat do they expect her to document? She may have to get to know ALL of the residents at that facility to document safely and legally. Such is the joy of being an RN sometimes.
- 0Sep 18, '13 by MomaNurseQuote from xoemmylouoxOr the joy of being an RN supervisor. If your friend is a supervisor on the weekend covering 3 units, yes she can, and should, cosign the lpn documentation (incident reports, admissions,etc). If she is the only RN in the building on her own floor doing a med pass and someone she doesn't know two units down falls and fractures a hip, I don't think she's required to document that situation inasmuch as taking responsibility for it under her license.What do they expect her to document? She may have to get to know ALL of the residents at that facility to document safely and legally. Such is the joy of being an RN sometimes.

We pray for night to start over again..
Soo.. today was kind of.. better than most I guess.. in a way. I got twelve hours of sleep so, needless to say, I had a better outlook during the whole day. I wasn't pissy all day like usual.

Hi Dr. Lam,
My mom went to you for her fat grafting and her face is turning out really well! Thank you for what you did for her! I'm one of the sisters that go with my mom when she gets her annual check up.
Over the weekend I fell on an ab roller with my chin. The grooves lacerated my chin and I had to get 4 stitches. The ER doctor used a fine needle and thread used by plastic surgeons to suture up my laceration. The thread is self dissolving and should dissolve in 4 days. This happened on Saturday, June 4.
My questions are:
1. How do I take care of it to prevent a scar or minimize the scaring?
2. It's more than 24 hours, can I wash the wound with water and soap? Or is it better to just dab it with water and keep it dry?
3. Is it best to have a bandaid over it at all times?
4. Is it ok to use peroxide to clean the wound?
5. Can I dab on neosporin at this stage? If not when should I use neosporin?
6. After it heals and if there is a scar? What kind of procedures can you do to get rid of the scar?
Thank you so much in advance for your time and concern on this matter!
Warmest regards,

(CNN) -- Three Senegalese peacekeeping officers were killed in an attack on a convoy in Darfur on Sunday, the United Nations said.
An unidentified armed group ambushed a water convoy on its way to a regional headquarters of the joint African Union-United Nations peacekeeping force, a U.N. statement said. One truck was hijacked but recovered later.
Seven Tanzanian peacekeepers were killed in a similar ambush in July.
The UN estimates as many as 300,000 people have been killed and almost 3 million people have been displaced from their homes since a conflict began in 2003 in Darfur, a region of Sudan along the border with the new nation of South Sudan.
Widespread atrocities have occurred during fighting between Sudan's government forces and militias and other rebel groups.
The peacekeeping operation began in 2007.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on the government of Sudan to apprehend the attackers.
Mohamed Ibn Chambas, special representative for the peacekeeping force, commended the Sudanese military for pursuing and firing on the assailants.
"Such incidents are a reminder to all of us of the great price everyone pays in the absence of peace. Our peacekeepers have made the ultimate sacrifice while attempting to bring peace to Darfur," Chambas said.

Official site for Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
On this week's episode of Postcards Summer Series, Shane goes to Bress Wine, Cider and Produce in country Victoria where he samples some delectable wines and tasty delights. Glen Moriarty travels to the Mornington Peninsula to check out 'The Counting House Restaurant' where he tucks into some scrumptious dishes, before making his way down the road to Mount Martha where he kicks back at the stunning 'View Grande' – beachside accommodation at its luxurious best. Brodie Harper travels north of Melbourne and stops in at Malmsbury Bakery and Gallery for some freshly baked bread before making her way to Mingela Homestead, a spectacular farmhouse retreat on a thousand acre working farm. Finally, Rebecca seeks out three of the most popular cafes tucked away amongst the suburbs – Crabapple Kitchen, Snow Pony and Little Henri.
Bress Wine, Cider and Produce
Bress is a beautiful 20 hectare property located in the Harcourt Valley, with spectacular views of the granite outcrops of Mount Alexander and the surrounding foothills. It takes about 80 minutes to drive there from Melbourne's CBD. Dining at the Bress Kitchen is a shared table experience that's only available at weekend lunch from Spring to Autumn. A three course set menu is cooked in a wood fired oven and there is also home-made bread and pizzas for the kids.

The Counting House and View Grande
One place that you must treat your tastebuds to is 'Counting House Restaurant' in Mornington. Housed in an old bank and inspired by French provincial design interwoven with a costal influence, this new kid to the peninsula dining scene is becoming one of this area's best eateries. The real star is the food, which is nothing short of sensational due to the talented chef and the fresh produce used. Ten minutes down the road in Mount Martha you'll find one of the most beautiful holiday houses the area has to offer – The View Grande. This five bedroom, three bathroom property is ideal for groups and families, as there is plenty of room across the two levels. The theatre room and two living areas provide a great amount of space to relax, the open plan kitchen and dining area is ideal for entertaining guests, and the outdoor deck, heated pool and gorgeous views of Port Phillip Bay are an added bonus!

Mingela Homestead and Malmsbury Bakery and Gallery
With its deep bluestone gutters and original 1850s buildings, Malmsbury is a village with a character all of its own. You'll find it about an hour's drive from Melbourne, on the old Calder Freeway, with Kyneton, Daylesford, Castlemaine and Bendigo all just a short drive away. Malmsbury has a long proud history of looking after weary travellers on their way to the gold fields. So it's good to know that these days you can still stop off for a slice of cake, some baked goods or a hearty meal at the Malmsbury Bakery and Gallery. The bakery was established by Jan Grant 26 years ago and its success is based on her collection of handpicked recipes. As well as all of the freshly baked breads, there's also a strong following for the mouth-watering pies, cakes and pastries. For those seeking some food for thought with their daily bread, there's also an art gallery.
Travellers continuing on the road between Malmsbury and Daylesford will find Mingela Homestead, a spectacular farmhouse retreat on a thousand acre working farm. Inside there's a well-designed layout with separate areas for living and sleeping. Up to 12 people can sleep across the five flexible bedrooms, and there's ample accommodation for children.

Suburban Cafes – Crabapple Kitchen, Snow Pony and Little Henri
A must-try café in the Hawthorn area is Crabapple Kitchen, which stands out among the bustle of Glenferrie Road with its cute white picket fence and colourful striped awning. Inside, there's a homely feel with photos on the walls and a bar that's styled as a household kitchen complete with cookbooks and a retro looking French stove. On the food front, the most popular item on the menu is the buttermilk pancakes, but the blue swimmer crab slider is also a crowd favourite.
Another inner city café that continues to please the masses is Snow Pony, which takes its urban cool vibe seriously with beautiful old leather banquettes, industrial communal tables and pendant lighting. Combine this with the excellent Allpress coffee and delicious food such as smashed avocado with thyme buttered mushrooms or the totally over the top toasted banana bread, and you'll be trekking back to Balwyn for more.
On the other side of the Yarra you'll find Little Henri, a café in High Street Thornbury housed in an old bank. The dark wooden chairs and tables are comfy, the decorations are stylish and there's even a courtyard that's perfect for lazing in. The high quality of the food makes it almost impossible to resist dishes such as baked beans with Haloumi cheese, and scrumptious zucchini fritters served with house smoked salmon, avocado and horseradish cream.

Community First Bank and Trust Book Drive
Randolph Howell Elementary School's library got an early holiday gift from Community First Bank & Trust employees who pooled their Giving First Funds to supply books for the school library. Stephanie Grimaud and Cindy Miller, of Community First Bank & Trust, pooled their Giving First Funds to purchase books for the school where Grimaud's daughter attends. "I really wanted to do something for the school; we love it there and everyone works so hard. As with many schools and businesses, resources can be slim, so I asked Cindy to pool her funds with mine and we got friends to donate books also," said Grimaud.
Librarian Beth Hamilton commented, "I am thrilled to have this donation for our school. It's so exciting to be refreshed with new books for our students!" Community First Bank donated over 400 books that were delivered before the Thanksgiving holidays. "It won't take long for our students to dig into these new books," reported Michael Ford, principal at Howell Elementary. "They are eager to see what additions the library has."
Community First Bank launched Giving First in June of 2010 as an annual tradition and it enables employees to make a philanthropic decision on behalf of the bank. The bank distributed $50 to each of its employees and board members, and challenged them to use creativity to pay it forward by contributing to a local charity or needy family.

Headline Comedian Dave Landau:
Dave Landau's smart, edgy and fresh humor delivered with a unique laid back and sharp style has made him one of the fastest rising comics in America. With a strong improvisational background and sharp material, he is an act you're sure to enjoy.
Dave has worked with Steven Wright, Dave Chappelle, Ron White and Dennis Miller. Dave has appeared at HBO's Las Vegas Comedy Festival, Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham" and was featured on Last Comic Standing. He is also currently in rotation on Sirius/XM Radio and has been heard on the Bob and Tom syndicated radio show.
Feature Comedian Kevin Kinner:
The first time Kevin Kinner ever got onstage, it was during a stand-up comedy contest. A year later, he entered it again, and beat out 40 comics to win the competition.
His drive and determination are only matched by his passion for comedy, and it shows during every performance. An audience member once told Kevin after a show, "You're funny! And you're not a douchebag... you're like a douchebag's brother." He is still trying to figure out if this is a compliment or insult.

Over 200 People at K&L Tasting on Saturday!
Over 200 people attended the Real Wine Assault tasting at K&L in San Francisco on Saturday, including a delegation from the Walnut Creek Veterinarian's Guild.
Happily, all the vignerons were able to get on their morning flight from Seattle to attend the event. Unfortunately, Jean-Paul Brun was late for his departure, but Laurence Brun, his sister, was able to hold down his table until he arrived at 2:30 pm.
That night, we split up to eat at Slanted Door, Citizen Cake and Chez Panisse. Luckily, I always travel with my GPS and we were able to find the directions to the restaurants. My group, which went to Chez Panisse, found a cab driver who didn't know how to get to Berkeley and I had to mount and program the GPS to go from the plush Carlton Hotel in San Francisco's Tendernob to Chez Panisse. On our return, the Berkeley driver did not know how to find San Francisco's Tendernob and I once again had to mount and program the GPS. The Berkeley driver was Cantonese and didn't speak English well, but happily my Tomtom GPS has both a female and male Cantonese voice.
Thank goodness for modern technology.

The extracellular EXO protein mediates cell expansion in Arabidopsis leaves
Kurzfassung auf EnglischBackground:
The EXO (EXORDIUM) gene was identified as a potential mediator of brassinosteroid (BR)-promoted growth. It is part of a gene family with eight members in Arabidopsis. EXO gene expression is under control of BR, and EXO overexpression promotes shoot and root growth. In this study, the consequences of loss of EXO function are described.
The exo loss of function mutant showed diminished leaf and root growth and reduced biomass production. Light and scanning electron microscopy analyses revealed that impaired leaf growth is due to reduced cell expansion. Epidermis, palisade, and spongy parenchyma cells were smaller in comparison to the wild-type. The exo mutant showed reduced brassinolide-induced cotyledon and hypocotyl growth. In contrast, exo roots were significantly more sensitive to the inhibitory effect of synthetic brassinolide. Apart from reduced growth, exo did not show severe morphological abnormalities. Gene expression analyses of leaf material identified genes that showed robust EXO-dependent expression. Growth-related genes such as WAK1, EXP5, and KCS1, and genes involved in primary and secondary metabolism showed weaker expression in exo than in wild-type plants. However, the vast majority of BR-regulated genes were normally expressed in exo. HA- and GFP-tagged EXO proteins were targeted to the apoplast.
The EXO gene is essential for cell expansion in leaves. Gene expression patterns and growth assays suggest that EXO mediates BR-induced leaf growth. However, EXO does not control BR-levels or BR-sensitivity in the shoot. EXO presumably is involved in a signalling process which coordinates BR-responses with environmental or developmental signals. The hypersensitivity of exo roots to BR suggests that EXO plays a diverse role in the control of BR responses in the root.
