Sign up for our weekly email * A BBC Panorama programme to be aired tonight uncovers the scale of the UK tax evasion industry and the ease at which companies are bypassing HMRC. The joint investigation with The Guardian newspaper and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists secretly filmed companies that promote complicated tax evasion schemes at home and abroad. The BBC reports that one such company advises an undercover journalist posing as a businessman with £6m in undeclared income to move the money to a anonymous foundation in tax haven Belize, which he could control without detection. The representative tells the reporter that his company has 10,000 similar operations currently set up and that HMRC "don't have the money" to uncover them. Tax evasion is estimated to cost the British taxpayer over £4bn a year and a groundswell of public and political anger has been growing recently following the cases involving Starbucks, Google and Amazon, and after public figures were found to be using such schemes. The programme also found that the use of sham directors is still prevalent, with a Dubai-based company, Atlas Corporate Services, revealing a list of 19 nominee directors that held more than 6,000 UK company directorships. Panorama also approached other firms posing as the representative of corrupt Indian government figures who wanted to invest in the UK. However, Russell Lebe, Managing Director of Readymade Companies Worldwide, told an undercover reporter that, if approached by the Indian authorities about tax evasion, "we wouldn't give a monkey's".

Eleven-year-old Is State's Youngest Elite Angler
ATHENS — Keatyn Eitelman of Pottsboro became Texas' 25th Elite Freshwater Angler—and the state's youngest—on August 2, 2013, less than two weeks before his eleventh birthday. He finished this task when he caught a 21.25-inch, 5.5-pound largemouth bass from Lake Texoma on July 23 and submitted it for a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Big Fish Award.
An Elite Angler is a one-time achievement award for an angler who catches trophy-class fish of five different species. There are freshwater and saltwater categories. To be eligible, an angler must earn five freshwater or five saltwater Big Fish Awards. A Big Fish Award is given for a fish meeting or exceeding a minimum length for each species.
Keatyn began his quest on November 28, 2012, when he caught a blue catfish measuring 39.25 inches from Lake Texoma. Encouraged by his father, Nailen, Keatyn proceeded to collect Big Fish Awards from Lake Texoma for white bass (16.5 inches, December 2, 2012), smallmouth bass (18.5 inches, December 11, 2012), and his largemouth bass. He also caught a white crappie (18.25 inches) from Lake Fork on March 10, 2013.
TPWD offers many ways to be recognized as an angler: state and water body records by weight, catch and release records by length, First Fish Awards, Outstanding Angler, Big Fish Awards, and Elite Angler. Visit http://tpwd.texas.gov/fishrecords for all the listings and an application. If you catch a fish you think qualifies, remember to take good pictures of the fish to aid in identification. If the award is based on length, one of the pictures must show the fish on a ruler. Don't forget to take pictures of yourself holding the fish, too.
Your local TPWD fisheries biologist will be happy to help you obtain forms, identify your catch and weigh it on a certified scale. Search for the biologist nearest you at http://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/management/biologist/.
Some grocery stores will weigh fish for you, and bait shops or feed stores may have certified scales. Locations of certified scales can be found at https://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/programs/fishrecords/scales.phtml.
Official Toyota ShareLunker Program Weigh and Holding Stations also have certified scales; locations are listed at http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/holding/. The fish must be weighed within 3 days of the catch. However, weigh the fish as soon as possible to prevent any weight loss due to regurgitation or dehydration.

Is it possible to make yourself smarter? Some researchers say yes. Proponents of "brain training" say that people can improve their short-term memory that in turn improves fluid intelligence.
A recent New York Times Magazine piece looked at the research. Priti Shah, associate professor in cognition, perception, and educational psychology at the University of Michigan, will join The Daily Circuit Wednesday to discuss the research.
The researchers say that spending 15 to 25 minutes a day "brain training" for even as little as four weeks improved subsequent performances on cognitive tasks that measure our capacity to problem solve, learn, reason and see patterns in the world.
Other researchers aren't so sure. They say there have been hundreds of attempts to increase intelligence over the years with no success. Zach Hambrick, associate professor of psychology at Michigan State University, is a skeptic. He'll also join Wednesday's discussion.
"We do have pretty good evidence that intelligence is modifiable by training," he said. "It can change with practice and persistence. But not with 10 hours per week."
We want to believe this research is true, but there isn't enough evidence, he said.
"This would be fantastic if this was true," Hambrick said. "If it's true, it would be revolutionary. But we have to be skeptical. It's an extraordinary claim that is lacking the necessary extraordinary evidence."

The Republican-controlled Kansas House has rejected a Democratic member's proposal to provide $45 million in state aid to local governments to hold down property taxes.
GOP legislators argued Wednesday that the plan from Rep. Jim Ward of Wichita would redistribute taxpayer dollars from the state to local governments, not reduce taxes. The money would have been provided over two years.
The vote was 73-48 against an amendment offered by Ward to a bill requiring local government commissions to take a public vote if they intend to spend an increase in property tax revenues that is above the rate of inflation. Local governments can gain extra revenues without raising levies if property values rise.
The House voted 63-58 to give the bill first-round approval, with final action expected Thursday.

I have always been attracted to the idea of a movie server. The ability to call up a title from an on-screen menu rather that looking through my large bookcase used to be the stuff of science fiction. Of course, so did the idea of putting an entire movie on something the size of a coaster. Fiction is now reality thanks to products like the Sony BDP-CX7000ES.
It is unfortunate that traditional media servers are expensive and even the best ones do not have Blu-ray support. Sony's answer to this is the CX7000ES disc mega-changer. The CX7000ES is Sony's flagship jukebox; a changer capable of storing 400 discs of the Blu-ray, DVD or CD variety. The ES tag stands for Sony's Elevated Standard. This means top-of-the-line components are used in construction and the performance is the best you can expect to see out of their lineup. There are also features present for integrators like RS-232 control. Video processing is a cut above Sony's other products lineup as well with a proprietary 14-bit solution being featured here.
So does this box deliver the ultimate in media playback convenience? Let's take a look.
- Design: Blu-ray/DVD/CD 400-Disc Changer

First off, this player is gigantic. A full six rack units tall in fact. That's equivalent to three OPPO BDP-83s! Fortunately it's not as heavy as it looks since its interior is a huge cavity for the 400 discs it holds. I imagine if you filled it to capacity though, it would become quite heavy. The front panel has the high-placed bevel feature that all ES components have. Above the bevel is the display which shows disc type, connection and memory status, play mode, disc slot number, chapter, title and timing information and a network connection indicator. Below this is the large opening where discs are loaded. Pressing the open/close key reveals a large space, big enough for your hand, in which to load discs. Media is inserted vertically, label to the right, in small comb-like slots. It might take some fiddling with at first but it's easy once you get the hang of it. This may not be as familiar as the usual disc drawer but once you fill it up, you won't be going in there very often.
Next to the opening are four buttons labeled Open/Close, Disc Eject, Disc Load and Rental Slot. This last one will turn the carousel to the first slot, which you should leave empty, so you can easily load rented discs. On the right side is a large dial which is used to select a particular disc slot. This works like the jog shuttle on a pro VCR with firm detents to indicate its position. You can turn this dial with the door open or closed. Above the dial are transport keys and below are changer navigation buttons. Aside from opening the door and turning the dial, I controlled everything from the player's remote or from my Harmony 900.
Sony has always used its own solutions for disc decoding and video processing and the CX7000 is no exception. The included chipset supports 14-bit video upconversion of color from both DVD and Blu-ray. Sony calls this feature Super Bit Mapping. Video can be output from the HDMI 1.3a port at up to 1080p or up to 1080i from component. Composite and S-Video outputs top out at 480i. DVDs can only be upscaled over HDMI, as with any Blu-ray player. Blu-ray content can be output at up to 1080i over component if the disc's Image Constraint Token has not been activated.
Audio output is handled by your choice of HDMI, 7.1 analog RCAs, or digital via coax or TOSLink. Full support for lossless codecs is included and can be output as a bitstream to a compatible receiver/processor or as LPCM. This is the first player I've encountered that determines compatibility without user intervention. It will detect whether your receiver or processor accepts bitstreams and adjust output accordingly. This is very nice since it removes a layer of confusion about what sound formats your particular system may support.
The back panel contains every necessary connection. In addition to the single HDMI 1.3a port there is component, composite and S-Video. Audio connectors include 7.1 analog, digital coax and TOSLink. The USB port is for external memory via thumbdrive. Unfortunately you can't use it to view pictures or access files. As the CX7000 has no internal memory (shocking in a $1900 player) you will have to provide your own. The BD-Live required Ethernet port is also present along with RS-232 and IR in control jacks. A large fan vent is also present though I never heard this in operation during my time with the player.
The remote is a typical large wand-style with pretty much every control needed to operate the player. It is not backlit, again shocking in a player at this price point. Navigating player functions is fairly easy. You can also program it to operate a connected TV or receiver. You can do this with Sony components via the BRAVIA Sync feature or enter a code set for other brands. In the center is a large navigation keypad followed by two disc sort buttons and the transport keys. At the bottom are volume and channel rockers and controls for dimming the front display, opening the rental slot and loading discs into memory. I didn't use the remote much and you'll learn why in the next section.
I approached the installation of this player a little differently. Since convenience is the design goal, I decided to use it my living room system rather than in my theater. Anchored by a Pioneer PRO-111FD plasma TV, the rack includes a Denon 3806 receiver, an OPPO BDP-83 and a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR. It's all controlled with a Logitech Harmony 900 via RF. Since wife-friendliness was part of the test, I programmed the player's functions into the Harmony and effectively replaced my OPPO temporarily. Once I loaded the discs for her, she needed no other instruction other than how to select titles using the on-screen menu.
After connecting an HDMI cable, an Ethernet cable and plugging in a thumbdrive, I was ready to fire it up. The quick setup ran me through choices for language, connection type, resolution, aspect ratio, HDMI control and BD-Live. After this, I visited the main menu also known as XMB. By now you know this stands for Xross Media Bar and is the standard on all Sony electronics since the first PS3. I'm not sure why Sony wants to deny existence of the letter "C†but there it is. The XMB has four major sections, Setup, Photos, Music and Video; represented with large icons with text labels. Though XMB is different than any other product I've encountered, it becomes very intuitive once you're accustomed and navigation is quite fast. I found I could easily zero in on a choice in a matter of seconds.
After the Quick Setup, I visited the Setup menu to dial in the rest of my choices. First I hit Network Update. A new firmware version was found so I let it install before proceeding. The process took about 20 minutes. Next is Video Settings. Here you can change your aspect ratio and screen format (stretch 4:3 content or not); set deinterlacing to Auto or Video; specify the video connection (HDMI, component or composite/S-video); set the output resolution; force 24p output; choose the color space (RGB video or PC, YCbCr 4:2:2/4:4:4 or Auto); turn on Deep Color, Super Bit Mapping, and x.v.Color; choose the Pause Mode; and increase signal strength at the component output. I set the color space to YCbCr 4:4:4, and turned on Super Bit Mapping and 24p output.
Audio setup was very simple. Since my Denon receiver only accepts lossless codecs via LPCM, I left the HDMI Audio set to Auto. This worked in every instance. If I played a Dolby Digital disc, it bitstreamed; if I played a lossless codec like DTS-HD Master Audio, it output LPCM. This is a major step forward in Blu-ray player ergonomics. I find I still have to explain lossless codecs to many people who are otherwise knowledgeable about AV. Good job Sony! Other options in the Audio Setup menu are Audio Output Priority (HDMI, coax/optical, multi-channel analog, stereo analog); Speaker Settings (bass management); downmix options for Dolby Digital and DTS, secondary audio mixing, PCM sampling rate (48kHz/16-bit or 96kHz/24-bit), and dynamic range control.
The BD/DVD Viewing Settings let you control language, subtitles, parental controls, whether or not to allow an internet connection and playback memory. This feature allows you to store picture settings for up to 50 discs. Photo Settings are limited to selecting the speed of the slideshow when viewing pictures. You can view only JPEG format files from any type of data disc. The USB port is only for BD-Live storage and will not allow access to picture files.
System Settings covers the player's ergonomics options. You can activate HDMI and RS-232 control, adjust the brightness of the front panel display or change the OSD language. Turning on the Quick Start mode will shorten the player's startup time at the expense of slightly higher power consumption in standby. There is also an Auto Power Off function that shuts down the player after 30 minutes of inactivity. Auto Display pops up information whenever you change chapters, picture modes, audio signals and other functions. A Screen Saver can be activated to come on after 15 minutes if you wish. Three command sets are available to avoid conflicts with other Sony gear and are chosen here. Also available is a firmware update notification. Obviously you'll need to connect the player to the internet to use this feature. A Child Lock setting can be made to protect the front opening from curious fingers. Lastly you can toggle on and off access to the Gracenote database and display the firmware version and MAC address.
Network Settings gives you the choice between DHCP or a static IP address. DHCP worked fine for me and will work on most internet connections. If you use static IP, you'll have to enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server information manually.
To get started, I loaded up about 20 discs, both Blu-ray and DVD. I left slot one, the rental slot, vacant. After inserting everything in the carousel and closing the door, I selected the video playback icon, pressed Options and chose Load All Discs. The CX7000 loaded each disc one by one accessing the Gracenote database to retrieve cover art, title, actor and genre information. The process took about 90 seconds per disc. Not every disc was found and these titles were tagged as unknown. By selecting these and pressing Options, I could manually enter the information using a texting-style interface with the remote's numeric keypad. While a Bluetooth or USB keyboard would have been nice, I didn't have too much trouble keying in the unknown discs. Once finished, I could sort the discs alphabetically, by slot number, or by release year. By pressing Group, I could display titles by their genre, actors, or directors. Since I had a relatively small number of discs loaded, alphabetical by title was the easiest choice for me. Pressing the up and down keys let me flip through the available discs very quickly. Making a selection loads the disc in a few seconds and you're off and watching!
In Use
I thoroughly enjoyed using the CX7000ES. The player integrated perfectly with my living room system and control was a snap once I programmed my Harmony 900 with the correct code set. Responsiveness was about average for a Blu-ray player. Most discs were playing within 45 seconds of being selected. Power-up is also of average speed. It's no PS3 or OPPO BDP-83 but it's quicker than many other players I've experienced. Loading new titles in either the rental slot or another slot, took a little extra time as information was downloaded from the Gracenote database. This box is great for watching TV shows on disc. I loaded several season sets of shows like I Love Lucy, Dexter and the Tudors. My wife and I often have marathons where we'll watch three or four episodes in one sitting. The CX7000 made this super-convenient as we just paged through the titles and selected what we wanted. Couch potatoes rejoice, your Blu-ray player has arrived!
Of course, I principally watched Blu-ray content and it looked fantastic as expected. Catalog titles like Pride & Prejudice (1995) and Walk the Line (2005) were beautifully rendered. Their well-preserved film grain and details jumped off the screen and color rendition was perfectly accurate to my calibrated display. I saw no artifacts of any kind. Audio reproduction was equally stellar. I have never wanted for an HDMI 1.3 receiver in this system as my venerable Denon 3806 sounds just fine with LPCM. There are some that claim to hear a difference between bitstream and LPCM but I do not count myself among them. Dynamic range was very wide with the large soundstage I'm accustomed to from lossless audio.
Other Blu-rays I watched included Dexter, Season 3 and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans. Dexter takes place in Miami and as such is presented in extremely vivid and even overblown colors. The palette is meant to portray the hot climate and it does this most effectively. I can't say the Super Bit Mapping made a difference as I couldn't see any whether it was on or off. Color in either case was superb with great saturation and delineation. Dark scenes showed all available shadow detail and the deep black inherent to Pioneer Kuro displays. Bad Lieutenant isn't the best Blu-ray I've seen though my complaints tend more to the chosen color palette rather than the transfer itself. The Sony effectively showed the bad with the good. Most of the movie has a very filtered look which flattens the image. The CX7000 did a respectable job with not-so-great content.
DVD content included two black & white titles, I Love Lucy and The Best years of our Lives. I Love Lucy is a decent restoration and exhibits very good quality throughout. Once again the picture was clean and free of artifacts. The soundtrack is Dolby Digital 2.0, upmixed from the original mono. I matrixed it to 5.1 using DTS Neo:6. Sound from the CX7000 here was excellent with clear, tight dialog and strong detail. The Best Years of Our Lives is only a fair transfer but the Sony again did an excellent job with merely average material. Video was again clean and devoid of any garbage. There is a look to old black & white movies I find appealing and it came across very well. The audio was handled properly with clear dialog despite the very low mastering level. I had to turn up the volume much higher than usual but this was not the fault of the player.
I finished my DVD viewing with The Tudors, Season 1. This is a very high-quality transfer and I did not miss the Blu-ray version at all. This is an instance where I was forced to rent the DVD version as Netflix does not distribute Blu-rays of TV shows. It was of no matter however. The classic look and feel of the scenery, costumes and actors came across strongly. Detail was preserved very well and I saw no problems with the CX7000's upconversion performance. The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack sounded great too. Potential owners of this player with large DVD collections can rest assured that their movies will look their best despite the lower resolution.
On the Bench
The CX7000ES exhibited solid performance in our benchmark with only a couple of hiccups here and there. Measurements were taken from the component analog video outputs at 1080i resolution. The CX7000ES exhibited good results for its core measurements. The luma and chroma channels were perfectly in sync with each other and its image was displayed in full resolution without any pixel cropping issues. The player was able to pass a below black signal. The white levels measured from the CX7000ES were outside of our +/- 2 range and were measured at 103IRE giving it a failing score on our test. With a white level this hot, some video processors may end up clipping above white information. The frequency response from this player was measured to be very smooth with minute deviations which translates to excellent picture quality and accurate details. The CX7000ES tackled all of our chroma upsampling error tests with aplomb and didn't exhibit the CUE issue on any of the test patterns.
Standard DVD Performance
The CX7000ES had good overall deinterlacing performance with a few exhibited problems. It failed our 3-2 cadence mixed flags test which tests the processor's ability to stay in film mode while the material changes between film and video style flags. The player also failed the 3-2 cadence video flags test and minor artifacting was witnessed on our test patterns. While this player did pass our high detail test which uses the Super Speedway clip, it exhibited some issues on the more difficult Coliseum flyover scene from Gladiator. The player locked onto the pattern but couldn't stay locked onto it for the full duration of the sequence and some artifacting could be seen. Other than these issues the player passed the rest of our film based deinterlacing tests with flying colors.
On video based material the CX7000ES had solid performance. The player is motion adaptive, was able to recover between film and video mode hastily, and passed our 2-2 cadence tests as well, with no exhibited issues.
HD Video Performance
HD Performance on the CX7000ES was a bit of a mixed bag. On the upside the CX7000ES passed our tests for 1920×1080 pixel cropping showing that it could deliver the full hi-def image. The player employs diagonal filtering thereby allowing it to display diagonal lines without the presence of jaggies and the player was also free from any kind of banding issues. Where the CX7000ES fell short was in its lack of having any advanced noise reduction features as well as its inability to properly handle the 1080i/p conversion. This player could not properly convert either 2:2 or 3:2 cadence material which is most frequently seen on documentary and concert footage.
Usability on the CX7000ES was excellent. The player had a brisk layer change clocking under a second and the XMB interface and remote control was responsive and had speedy operation. Disc changes on this carousel clocked in at around 30 seconds.
While at first glance the CX7000ES may seem expensive, it's really a bargain when compared to other media server products. Since Sony is the only company making disc changers, it has no real competition. It compares very favorably to other disc players with high quality output from both DVD and Blu-ray discs and has only a few issues when it comes to deinterlacing standard and hi-def material. It has all the latest features like full lossless codec support, 24p output and BD-Live. My only wish would be for DVD-Audio and SACD capability. I wouldn't expect Sony to support DVD-A but I'm surprised their flagship Blu-ray changer/player doesn't play SACDs.
If you have a large disc collection, this player can literally put it at your fingertips. Once set up, you can access your entire library from the remote. Loading discs is easy and the player has excellent ergonomics. If convenience and ease-of-use are a priority, that's where the CX7000ES shines. If you're trying to eliminate that big bookcase with its 400 movies, then this or its sibling, the BDP-CX960, are two great choices. This is a one of a kind product with supreme convenience and decent performance. If its features are what you are looking for, I give it my highest recommendation.

Alton Brown's Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese
As I've mentioned many times before, Alton Brown is one of my absolute favorites. Hubby and I have been trying to make more recipes from my autographed copy of his latest cookbook. I love all the extra information provided in the cookbook about the episodes and recipes.
I was looking for a great mac and cheese recipe and instantly remembered the episode For Whom the Cheese Melts 2. I turned to my cookbook and found the recipe. He made a baked mac and cheese and a stovetop version. I opted for the stovetop version.
The next step was to set out to choose some cheeses to use in the mac and cheese. I didn't want to use just plain old cheddar. I ended up using a mix of sharp cheddar, monteray jack, fontina, and gruyere cheese. The combination was fantastic.
I doubled the recipe so I could use a whole can of evaporated milk and a full box of macaroni noodles. This is my kind of mac and cheese – ooey, gooey, and super cheesey. Of course I could only eat a couple bites because of my lactose intolerance, but those few bites were delicious.
Stovetop Mac and Cheese
Yield: 6-8
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
4 Tbsp butter
2 eggs
6 oz evaporated milk
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
3/4 tsp dry mustard
10 oz sharp cheddar, shredded - I used a combination of sharp cheddar, monteray jack, fontina, and gruyer
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Over low heat continue to stir for 3 minutes or until creamy.

Awesome look mac and cheese! I love that Alton Brown!
Your site is great, just spent far too long snooping around your site, everything is beautiful!
I bet you don't hear this too often, but I think I'm actually jealous of your lactose intolerance! The reason I don't make mac n cheese (like, ever) is that I can eat way too much of it. If only I had a reason that would really force me to stop! (apparently my own willpower is not enough!)
I definitely rarely hear that one Cara! It does come in handy sometimes (like being around mac and cheese or cheesecake), but I definitely do miss ice cream…
Wow that mac n cheese looks heavenly! It is definitly one of my favorite foods of all time!
That is some beautiful mac and cheese!!
This is a favorite recipe of mine as well. Like you we like to add a variety of cheeses to the recipe.
This looks SO good! Can't wait to try! Thanks! 🙂
This looks great! I love mac and cheese and doing it on the stove top makes it even easier 🙂
I have made this recipe a few times and it is great! I like that you used different cheeses. I need to try that next.
I'm a huge sucker for macaroni and cheese and am always looking for new recipes. Maybe I will try this out tonight. Thanks!
That looks delicious. I remember watching that episode on TV with "his nephew" who looked exactly like him, ha ha.
I've meaning to ask you this since you're also a big fan of AB. In his book "I'm just here for MORE food", there's a choc fudge cake recipe. In it, there are instructions to combine cocoa powder with hot water. The amount of hot water says "tk". Any idea what that could possibly mean??? It's been bugging me quite some time!
Alton's recipes are all solid. I haven't mad eone that disappointed.
Homemade mac & cheese is the only way to go. Thanks for passing along the recipe. It's much simpler than the one I normally make.
I made this recipe today…so good! I doubled it and I just hope it's enough. This is so creamy and cheesy! Thank you for sharing.
My friend had that problem his entire life until he drank (pet) milk. That would be unpasteurized. Seems that the enzymes needed to digest the stuff comes from the original product.

HOUSTON - Harris County has a new district attorney.
"The door is open and the slate is clean" incoming Harris County District Attorney Mike Anderson told his staff on Monday.
In a ceremony on New Year's Day, Anderson, with his wife by his side, took the oath of office.
Anderson, a former judge, will be tested almost immediately with the prosecution of Harlem Lewis.
Lewis, 21, has been charged with capital murder and murder in the deaths of Bellaire police Sgt. Jimmie Norman, 53 and an innocent bystander, 66-year-old Terry Taylor.
"This is a case where I will be the lead prosecutor. I will have help, but I will be the lead prosecutor," Anderson said.
That most likely means that Anderson will present the case to a judge and jury.
At the ceremony, Anderson would not commit to whether he planned on seeking the death penalty against Lewis. However, from previous conversations with Local 2, it appears to be a likely outcome.
Anderson also made it clear he plans to prosecute all crimes, referencing a reluctance by his predecessor to drug charges in some instances.
"We'll take every kind of potato that is listed in the penal code. If it is against the law, we'll prosecute it," Anderson said.

Is there anyone here from Ireland?
Hi Sheedy,
I am friends on Facebook with a lady from Cork. I can give you her e-mail if you e-mail me for it. She is really nice. Her husband passed away from CC a while ago. She has three children. I don't remember if I met her on Facebook or on this site. If she was on this site, she doesn't post anymore that I have seen. I hope this helps.
Our GaryG is from Ireland. Gary, are you reading this?
Hi Sheedy
I'm from Dublin and have been a member of this family for a number of years now. I don't get to write often but I check in regularly to see how everyone is getting on. I was treated at St Vincent's. Let me know if you need any assistance/advice.
Ho there Gerry, is this not a wonderful Board. Ask and we receive. Good to see your smiling face again! Hope you are doing well!
Hi, thanks for the replies:) Gerry, my father was in st Vincent's too. He was diagnosed there. His doctor was mr hoti. He's seeing the Onc in limerick now and he's on this gemcytobine. I asked about cisplatin and they don't do it. I don't think much is going to be done for him in limk, I think they have him written off. The thing is, he had a really good baseline scan.. His liver is uninvolved. I dunno what to think. He's a kind of guy that will just accept what he is being told. Who is the Onc in Vincent's. do they offer more treatment there?
I was treated at Vincent's. Justin Geoghegan was my surgeon and David Fennelly my Oncologist - both very experienced guys. I had a whipples op 2 years ago and I meet Justin for regular check- ups. This is such a rare cancer and having experienced medical staff is an absolute requirement. I would suggest that you contact Justin directly at 01-2614016 for a 2nd opinion.
Being an Advocate for your Dad is very stressful but remember there are many members here who are on the same journey only too willing to share their experience - so come back often.
My e mail is firstname.lastname@example.com if you need any more info.
Emir Hoti went in to do the whipple but didn't go thru with it when he saw my fathers cancer had metastasized around the abdominal cavity. My concern is more the oncology side of it. He is being treated palliatively, and that's probably the right thing to do, but I just want to be sure. The oncologist we have in limerick is supposed to be excellent, but I think we should see someone else just in case. It's confusing me because there's nothing in his liver. It's only in his bile duct which was rerouted during surgery and "floating" around his abdominal cavity.
Sheedy, it doesn't have to be in the liver. Teddy's was in the bile duct valve then the Duodenum. Never got near his liver. 5 years of different treatments and it never went near the liver. It is your right to get another opinion on treatment and it will also put your mind at ease. Good luck and be strong!
I'm pleased you are happy with the care you're Dad is receiving at present. To put your mind at rest, I'd recommend you obtain a 2nd opinion. You may be with VHI or one of the other private insurers. VHI advertise a 2nd opinion service but I'm sure Quinn or Laya would also help.
Let us know how you get on.

Simple Precautions Can Prevent a Tragedy on the Water
AUSTIN – Summer's a great time to hit the water in Texas, but it's both easier to get in trouble and harder for others to recognize that someone's in danger than most people think.
Research has shown that drowning victims usually don't scream for help or splash around a lot before going under.
"It's a quick process," said Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden Lt. Cody Jones, of the department's marine enforcement section. "Statistics show drowning can occur in less than two minutes, and most children who drown are away from their parents for less than five minutes."
Jones said Texas had 136 drowning in public waters last year, up from 129 in 2009. So far this year there have been 37.
"All it takes is one step and someone can be in 10 feet of water," said Jones. "If they don't have the ability or power to swim, they slip off into a hole and nobody knows where they are or how to get to them," said Jones.
Officials advise against swimming alone or getting in water when intoxicated. In many instances, proper precautions like wearing a life jacket, teaching children and adults about water safety and designating a group member to watch everyone in or near the water can go a long way in preventing drownings this and every summer.
"If you have a lawn chair, sit down on the shore and watch your kids playing in the water," said Tim Spice, a TPWD urban outdoor program specialist. "Don't distract yourself from their safety."
Water safety experts across the nation advocate the 'reach, throw, row, go' process if you see someone who appears to be having trouble in the water.
First, attempt to reach the swimmer from a dock or the shore by extending a fishing rod, tree branch, or or other object. Next, try throwing a buoyant object such as a life jacket, inflatable floaty or foam ice chest.
The next step, if the distressed swimmer is unable to reach these things, is to get a life vest on and row or boat out to them. If rowing, guide the swimmer to the boat's stern, then paddle back to shore with them still in the water so the boat does not tip. If you are in a motor boat, turn the motor off and coast to the swimmer.
If you are a trained rescue swimmer you can attempt to go into the water to save them, but remember to tell someone on the shore of your intentions and bring a buoyant object to keep between you and the swimmer in addition to your life jacket. If you are not a trained rescue swimmer, go for help.
"There are two parts to the 'go' step: we tell kids to go for help and most adults too, because unless you have the proper training you can get taken under by someone fighting for their lives in the water," said Spice.
For children, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services promotes a "see and save" water safety message. They urge caregivers to keep a vigilant watch over children near water to keep them safe. Twenty-seven children have drowned so far this year in water bodies ranging from lakes to a mop bucket.
Officials recommend that children between the ages of 2-5 be given swimming lessons. A study from the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine suggests children under 4 years of age are 88 percent less likely to drown if they have taken formal swimming lessons.
TPWD is responsible for enforcing the Texas Water Safety Act on all public waters, certifying boater education students and instructors, and maintaining statistics about water related fatalities in Texas. The department also offers boating safety classes.

The state of Pennsylvania filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA in an attempt to overturn the sanctions imposed on the Penn State football program as a result of the sexual-abuse scandal involving former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
Gov. Tom Corbett announced Wednesday at a news conference in State College, Pa., that the state is pursuing legal action in U.S. District Court in Harrisburg, Pa. He said the sanctions were unlawful and an attack on the state's economy.
The NCAA replied in a statement from Donald M. Remy, executive vice president and general counsel, "Not only does this forthcoming lawsuit appear to be without merit, it is an affront to all of the victims in this tragedy -- lives that were destroyed by the criminal actions of Jerry Sandusky. While the innocence that was stolen can never be restored, Penn State has accepted the consequences for its role and the role of its employees and is moving forward. Today's announcement by the Governor is a setback to the University's efforts."
The NCAA penalties against Penn State for its response to the sexual-abuse allegations against Sandusky, which were handed down in July, included a four-year postseason ban for the football program, a $60 million fine, scholarship reductions and vacating all wins from 1998 to 2011.
The NCAA determined after receiving an independent report from former FBI director Louis Freeh that the school showed a lack of institutional control. Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse and sentenced to prison.
Former coach Joe Paterno in the wake of the scandal and died of cancer last January.
Corbett, a former state attorney general, waited until after the football season to file the lawsuit, which was done without Penn State's involvement. because he said he didn't want it to distract the team, which finished 8-4. He argued that the Sandusky case is a criminal matter and the NCAA overstepped its authority in sanctioning the football program.
The state also questioned how the $60 million will be spent, saying all of the money should come back to Pennsylvania. The NCAA has said only a fourth of the money will go to the state, but a task force is deciding how it will be distributed.

The alacrity with which Boeing assumed control of the former Vought plant in South Carolina this past summer, secured the necessary construction approvals for an adjacent factory and reached a decision on the ultimate location of a second 787 Dreamliner assembly line had already led to skepticism about the company's commitment to negotiating with its workers based around Washington state's Puget Sound. Nothing management could say or do after announcing on October 28 that it would locate the new line in north Charleston, S.C., would change that fact.
So the company wasted no time breaking ground on a site directly adjacent to the existing Boeing Charleston plant this month, in time, it hopes, to roll out its first airplane from the new factory in 2012. Indeed, Boeing's ability to promptly accelerate 787 production will prove vital to a program beset by technical glitches and organizational turmoil since management announced the initial delay to first flight some two and half years ago. Still yet to fly, the 787 nevertheless maintains a backlog of 840 airplanes. Along with getting the airplane in the air and certified by the end of next year, filling those orders–and mitigating the threat of ballooning late-delivery penalties–must now stand as among the program's top priorities.
But despite its apparent enthusiasm for employing a nonunion workforce in South Carolina, Boeing insists that the move didn't signal the start of any exodus from Washington state, but rather an expansion of its existing capacity.
"Some would call this a win for South Carolina and a loss for Washington state," said Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Jim Albaugh. "But there are no winners or losers in this. Our decision to come to South Carolina will be good for our competitiveness, for our customers and for our country. And it will create jobs in both South Carolina and Puget Sound."
Others, such as the leadership at the IAM, would call it shortsighted adherence to a strategy that has already proved itself a failure. "Boeing's goal was not an agreement that would keep the work in Washington state," said IAM general vice president Rich Michalski. "Its goal was to run out the clock on a charade that included blaming their own workers for a decision to establish operations in yet another distant and high-risk environment."
Apparently, Boeing's management calculated that the likelihood of yet another strike in the Puget Sound region outweighed any perceived risk of employing less-experienced workers in South Carolina and the redundancies associated with running duplicate lines nearly a continent apart from each other. In fact, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney unambiguously ranked the problems Boeing has encountered during negotiations with the IAM over the years as perhaps the top reason it seriously considered north Charleston as the site of its next line.
"The union and company have had trouble figuring it out between themselves over the last few contract discussions, and I've got to figure out a way to reduce that risk to the company," he said. "So some of the modest inefficiencies associated with the move to Charleston are certainly more than overcome by strikes happening every three or four years in Puget Sound."
The Boeing chief executive expressed frustration with "the very negative financial impact to the company" caused by such strikes, particularly the eight-week walkout of 27,000 machinists that effectively halted production at BCA last fall. "Our balance sheet would be a lot stronger today had we not had a strike last year," he said. "Our customers would be a lot happier today had we not had a strike last year, and the 787 program would be in better shape had we not."

Carpenter, Descalso to split second base
ST. LOUIS -- With David Freese off the disabled list and presumably ready to resume playing almost daily, the Cardinals will be left to divvy up playing time at second base between Matt Carpenter and Daniel Descalso.
The pair entered Spring Training competing for the starting job at the position, though no clear winner emerged by the end of camp. Rather, manager Mike Matheny has said he intends to consider various factors on a daily basis to determine which of the two will start on any given day.
"There's going to be a juggling act a little bit," Matheny said.
The fact that Carpenter drew Wednesday's start behind sinkerball pitcher Jake Westbrook is further evidence of how far he has come defensively at the position. With the Cardinals believing Carpenter to present no defensive liability at second base, opposing pitchers are likely to play a large role in Matheny's daily decision.
Matheny also showed last year that he won't hesitate to stick for an extended period of time with whoever is rolling offensively. Carpenter entered Wednesday with multihit games in four of his seven starts. He ranked second in the league with four doubles and has scored in all five games in which he has gotten a hit.
Wednesday's start marked just his second of the season at second base. Descalso has started the other seven and is 7-for-28 at the plate.
"How well Matt has adapted to second base, I think, is very impressive," Matheny said. "It didn't surprise any of us. As soon as we started talking about it and put a work list together on the things he needed to work on in the winter, we knew it would probably be taken care of, and he did a great job."

Listed as one of the Global Top 100 managed service providers (MSPs) by MSP Mentor for three years running, Netsurit has experienced exceptional growth since its founding 15 years ago. With 150 employees and more than 160 clients across South Africa, the MSP uses remote monitoring and management (RMM) technology to make its business thrive.
Initially, the firm made use of an RMM solution offered by a well-known provider. "It started out great, but when they implemented a major upgrade, the new release no longer met our needs," says Louwki Coetsee, support manager for Netsurit.
Ready for a change, Netsurit next moved to another major provider's RMM platform, but the MSP eventually found that the vendor didn't deliver on its promises, and had a "my way or the highway" approach to business. The last straw came when a major upgrade fell far below the MSP's expectations. A change was needed and the right choice would ultimately be teaming with N-able by SolarWinds®, the global RMM leader.
Working Together to Get It Done
From the beginning, Netsurit embraced N-able's N-central®, the IT channel's #1 RMM and MSP service automation platform, working to quickly transition all of its customers to the new environment. Coetsee and his team moved more than 12,000 devices to N-central in six months' time -- an impressive effort that earned the firm global recognition as "MSP of the Year" at N-able's 2012 Montreal Partner Summit.
