A first for the banking industry, the programs are designed to help Westpac employees and Australia-based customers who do business with Asia or Asian communities to gain a deeper understanding of their market, as well as provide the opportunity for customers who have arrived from China and India to share their knowledge about their cultures and languages.
Brumby said Westpac's Chinese and Indian Culture and Language Program was an exciting new way to help staff and clients better engage with Asian markets.
"Here in Victoria we have long known that knowledge and understanding of different cultures is the key to greater global engagement.
"We are a diverse multicultural community, and our appreciation of cultures and traditions from around the world has given us a head start in linking Victoria into the global economy. "
Brumby highlighted the significant linkages between China and India with the State of Victoria and emphasized the importance of engaging with regional economies.
"Given our history, the makeup of our multicultural community and our geographical place in the world—we are particularly focused on Asia, and especially, not exclusively, on China and India."

Horizon senior Darren Carrington holds up four fingers after the Panthers won the fourth boys basketball state championship in school history last month.
Championships, and the trophies that go with them, create special moments for a player, the school, the alumni, parents and the entire community.
Nothing, however, rivals winning a state championship — in any sport.
The San Diego Section has crowned a few state champions in its 63-year history. Some of the more memorable ones include Point Loma's four straight girls basketball titles in 1984-87; Cathedral Catholic's football bowl title in 2008; La Jolla Country Day's girls basketball team that won it all in 2012 as well as 2001 and '02; the USDHS boys basketball team that claimed a state crown in 1998; Lincoln's boys basketball team that was the best around in 2010; Poway's wrestling crowns in 1986, 1999, 2005 and '09; and Horizon's boys basketball teams, which won state titles in 2002, '03 and '06.
When Horizon won this year's Division V championship on sophomore Ethan Underwood's buzzer-beating shot against Alameda St. Joseph Notre Dame, it was simply the next time for the Panthers.
For St. Augustine, which won the Division III championship with a 59-52 win in overtime over San Francisco Sacred Heart Cathedral, it marked the first time in their 91-year existence that the Saints were the best in basketball.
What neither coach anticipated was the effect the state championship trophy had on everyone around them.
"That trophy brings a lot to this school," Horizon coach Tyrone Hopkins said. "These players uplifted the entire school and everyone who ever went here.
"Our trophy is going to get dust on it and people will forget how we won it, but we created memories that will last a lifetime.
"Over spring break, I kept the trophy in my car trying to catch some of that energy off it. I'm sure Mike did the same thing."
Mike Haupt, who was in his second state finals with St. Augustine, has come to understand just how valuable this one trophy is for the Purple Gang.
"Our school is so big on community and tradition anyway, but you throw this championship onto the pile and it further cements a bond with every guy who has ever graduated from here," said Haupt, the former San Diego Section Co-Player of the Year in 1984 at Mira Mesa. "I never put much thought into winning a state title because I believe it's all about the process and you never think you're going to get there, especially the little school on Nutmeg Street.
"Only a couple of schools have done this in basketball. I got a lot of texts and emails from other coaches after we won and that was very gratifying for me. I'm sure the kids have heard from alums, too.
"I'm a firm believer in relationships and how awesome is it that every player and coach made sacrifices together to reach this moment. The whole experience is priceless."
So is having a state basketball championship trophy hanging around.

Topic: Bits and Pieces From DDW 2013
Hi, everyone,
Something I have learnt from DDW 2013. 5/23/20913 page 1.
---There are two primary bile acids in human: cholic acid and chenoceoxycholic acid.
---The concentration of the bile acids decrease from 10nM in the jejunum to 0.2 mM in the stool; and the PH increases from 6.5 to 7 likewise.
---bile acids mal- absorption can be resulted in persistent diarrhea.
--- In the hepatocyte(liver cell), LDL facilitated cholesterol to form bile acids, which through the bile canaliculus circulation into the Ileal enterocyte for digestion of fats in the small intestines and the majority of the daily production ( about 12-18gms and the amount is meal dependent) will absorb (recycle) back through the portal circulation into the liver cells for the next enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. The usage of the bile acids is about 2-3gm each time and fecal excretion is about 0.5gm. In that sense ,that means the daily production of bile acids can be recycle 3-6 times/day. ---[Bile manufacture ,consumption and transport at the cellular level ].
(from Wikipedia: The path of bile flow is as follows: Bile canaliculi → Canals of Hering → interlobular bile ducts → intrahepatic bile ducts → left and right hepatic ducts merge to form → common hepatic duct exits liver and joins → cystic duct (from gall bladder) forming → common bile duct → joins with pancreatic duct → forming ampulla of Vater → enters duodenum.)
-- In other lecture, there are 25 different kinds of bile acids;DHA(a bile acid) decreases ALK phos. in PSC patients and the use of treatment of omega 3 fatty acid for 6 weeks TENDS to decrease the toxicity of the bile acids.
--- I talked one of the lecture presenter from Thailand about whether he thinks the inflammation process caused by the liver worms and ultimately resulted in CCA is the same as in the western part of the world. He said no, he believed the process is different but the outcome is the same.
---On the lighter side, I did discuss one of my ideas with two stent manufacturers (Medi-Globe from Germany and Nanking Medical from China); I suggest to them the molecular structure of the skin of the shark is one of the least liquid flow resistant structure in nature. If the stent manufacturer can coat the inside of either the metal or the plastic stents with such material, and at each end of the stent coated with antibiotics to digest or prevent the micro fiber sludge forming, it will substantially prolong the usage of the stents and patients of CCA will require less stent replacements and improve the quality of life of the patients. The research and development adviser for the Medi-Globe from Achenmuhle ,Germany shows good interest in my design suggestion but the Chinese Nanking Medical may not fully understand what I said in English .
--- I talked to one GI doctor who practice in Dallas and treat a lot of patients who have hepatitis B, I questioned him how long should the patient be on antiviral therapy . he said is between 2-5 years.
---Coffee drinking may contribute to the decrease of fibrosis formation in the liver.
---Aspirin, even in low dose(ie:81mg/day) in relatively long term of treatment( 6-8 years) can prevent many types of cancer including colon CA; aspirin reduces the risk of recurrent ADENOMA in both stage I and II of colon cancer and mets. Vitamin D, and omega 3 Fatty acid have the same effects too in reduction of CRC growth due to their effects as COX-2 inhibitor.--Dr. Andrew Chen from Mass General. Since CCA is also belonging to the class of tumor called Adenoma, therefore aspirin and other NSAID may be of value to try them too. Side effects of aspirin: GI bleeding.
---Using electrostimulation acupuncture pads between the acupuncture point PC-6 in the forearm rather than using the actual acupuncture needles is effective in treating chemotherapy-induced nausea and motion sickness. patient can do it at home 3-4 times a day and will be more effective in treatment than just once a day. Ask your acupuncturist to elect the proper dose for you after buying the device from the internet.(dose is individualized)
Will be continue...
God bless.

The Top Tech of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show
Easily the most anticipated debut of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show is the seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette. It looks like the years of press leaks and speculation were worth the wait: The new 'Vette should be the best one yet, a rolling paragon of American patriotism that sets new sports car standards for it price range.
With pricing close to current base Corvette, the new car should have a 0-to-60 mph time of less than four seconds, skidpad grip greater than 1 g, and braking performance on par with the outgoing Z06 model. Even better is that the Corvette finally has an interior that's as world-class as it's performance.
The phrase "all-new" gets thrown around a lot in the automotive business, but on the Corvette it's appropriate—only two parts carry over from the old car. The new frame, built in-house, is aluminum, saving 99 pounds over the outgoing hydroformed steel while improving torsional stiffness by 57 percent. A carbon fiber hood and roof panel provide more weight savings, although overall curb weight will be up slightly of the sixth-gen 'Vette because of improved creature comforts, tougher crash-test standards, and fuel-saving technology, all of which pack on the pounds.
Under the hood, of course, is a V-8—the new LT1 that we first saw back in October. The 6.2-liter comes with direct injection, variable valve timing, and a V-4 cylinder deactivation mode. Output is 450 hp and 450 lb-ft, bumps of 14 hp and 12 lb-ft over the C6, and Chevy promises to beat the current Corvette's 26 mpg EPA highway rating. The engine is paired to a either a new 7-speed manual transmission or the old 6-speed automatic, and the manual now has an automatic rev-matching feature.
"The interior is the single most upgraded area of the car," chief engineer Tadge Juechter tells PM. Cheap plastic has been banished from the cabin. There are two available seats, GT and Competition Sport versions, both of which use a new magnesium frame.
In designing the interior, the Corvette team looked at how the car is used. The armrest has soft padding, for example, but the trim along the center bolster where drivers brace their leg during hard driving is firmer. Also in the interest of functionality, Chevy's engineers put in actual buttons for the radio and climate control—no capacitive touch here, folks. The high-resolution instrument cluster follows that theme as well, with a display that changes the information displayed based on the selected driving mode (Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, or Track). A rotary knob on the center tunnel switches between the driving modes by tweaking the throttle map, electric power steering, active exhaust, and optional electronic limited-slip differential and magnetoheological dampers.

UKIAH (AP) -- Investigators are trying to determine the cause of death of a man whose body was attacked by two dogs on the side of a rural road in Northern California.
Mendocino County Sheriff's investigators say they don't believe the man died as a result of an animal attack, but his body had multiple dog bites.
A driver called 911 Friday morning after seeing a Rottweiler and a pitbull attack a body in the community of Calpella.
The sheriff's office says an animal control officer who responded to the scene shot and killed the Rottweiler after the dog charged aggressively at him. The pitbull ran away and was not found despite an exhaustive search.
The Ukiah Daily Journal reports detectives have not determined who owns the dogs.

Innovative tunnel with 6 V-shaped steps
Designed to reduce drag and increase speed
Smooth, quiet slalom ski
Ski's narrow tail sits deep for symmetric turns
Viper fin system with foil
The Connelly Carbon V is hands down the best 34 mph ski on the market. A super light density foam core is wrapped with 70% carbon to give the ski a light, fast feel on the water. The carbon provides stiffness that delivers unreal speed out of the turn. Six V-shaped steps are molded into the hull of the Carbon V ski for more efficient water flow. The steps create less wetted surface area, which means a faster, freer ride on the water. A narrow tail lets this slalom ski sit deep in the turns, while a slightly wider tip provides surface area for a smooth non-critical turn. The Connelly Carbon V is smooth and fast, exactly what tournament-level 34 mph skiers are looking for - which is a wide, early, and forgiving construction. CAPT construction with carbon/fiberglass composite, closed-cell polyurethane resin core, and hand-tuned Acrylam base. Profile Tech top. Viper Fin System with foil.
Ski Lengths:
65: For skiers under 160 lbs.
67: For skiers 160-200 lbs.
69: For skiers over 200 lbs.

SANTA CLARA -- Wide receiver Michael Crabtree says he'll be playing Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, even though a minor calf injury kept him out of the 49ers practice Wednesday.
"I'm excited, man," Crabtree said Thursday. "I'm going back from selling popcorn and hot dogs in the stands at Cowboys games and being able to play them, that's a big change.
"Anybody's got to be excited for that. I can't wait to go back home."
Crabtree, in a rare interview, shared humorous tales about how he started working at Cowboys games in Texas Stadium's concession stands at age 6, doing so with his pee-wee football team. By age 10 and 11, he was in the stands selling items while also sneaking peeks at the Cowboys on the field.
"I would like to say I'm a good salesman," Crabtree said of his vendor days.
Now entering his sixth season with the 49ers, financial business again is hovering over Crabtree. He's entering the last year of his rookie contract, and the NFL Network reported last month that an extension appeared imminent.
"I don't much worry about all that," Crabtree said of ongoing contract negotiations. "I let it handle itself. Right now we're thinking about the Cowboys."
Crabtree sounded convincing that he'll be playing in Sunday's season opener despite his latest health setback. While he didn't detail his calf injury, it came after a hamstring injury sidelined him from two weeks worth of training-camp practices. Crabtree played in two of the four exhibitions, with one catch in 22 snaps.
"He's geared up to play anywhere, but I'm sure Dallas has a little something special to him," offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. "Growing up in that area and having family there. He's ready to go. He's a true professional."
He's certainly much healthier than he was a year ago. After tearing his right Achilles in May, Crabtree missed the first 11 games last season. When he returned, he wasn't at full health, although he had big outings in the Candlestick farewell against the Falcons (five catches, 102 yards) and the playoff-opening win over the Packers (eight catches, 125 yards).
"He went out, gutted it out and helped us win a lot of football games, and that's what we're looking forward to this year," Roman said.
Crabtree and fellow starter Anquan Boldin are expected to have better complements in the receiving corps this season, adding to the Week 1 excitement.
"It's just big for the team, period," Crabtree said. "This whole season, we've got a lot on the table. Every game counts. One game at a time. I know a lot of people say it, but it's true. Right now, the first game is the Cowboys, so we're excited to play these guys and show what we've got."
What Crabtree saw growing up in Dallas was a Cowboys franchise at its peak. He was 8 when the Cowboys won their third Super Bowl in four years, in the 1995 season. He sold anything he could at Texas Stadium so he could watch the games, and even garner mementos from players, such as autographs, towels and gloves.
"I was the only Little League player with NFL gear on, for real," Crabtree said.
He also got to know some of the Cowboys stars, including Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin, whose bodyguard was one of Crabtree's cousins.
"I know all those guys, and I have since I was young," Crabtree said. "Troy Aikman, I talk to him every time I see him and he gives me some advice. Michael Irvin, I've known him since I was a kid."
Which Cowboys wideout does he most resemble?
"I'm pretty much myself," Crabtree responded. "You get little things from guys, there's some similarities. But you see me going up on a jump ball, I would say I'm like Alvin Harper. If you see me in the middle catching a ball, I'd say I'm more like Michael Irvin.
"But those guys were great. I'm just trying to get there."
Crabtree has 22 touchdown catches through five regular seasons. He had that many his freshman year at Texas Tech in 2006. Last year, he had only one, in a Dec. 15 win at Tampa Bay.
Now he'll try to become the latest 49ers wide receiver to have a memorable game against the Cowboys, a rivalry that's seen Dwight Clark, Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens and others enjoy banner days.
When Owens twice celebrated touchdown catches by racing to the Cowboys' sacred logo at midfield in 2000, Crabtree was a 13-year-old middle schooler watching on television rather than working in the stands.
"I wasn't there, but I've been thinking about it," Crabtree said with a playful smile.
If Crabtree finds the end zone Sunday, he'll do so in front of 70 friends and family he's bought tickets for in his Dallas pro debut.
"It's going to be fun. It's going to be challenging. I'm going back home, see my family," said Crabtree, who became a father last month to Michael Crabtree III.
"It's a positive (homecoming). But at the same time we've got business to take care of in playing this game."

Final: Foye, Favors lead Jazz past Cavaliers
The Utah Jazz return to action after a four-day break Saturday night, when they play host to Cleveland at EnergySolutions Arena.
The game starts at 7 p.m. and will be televised on Root Sports.
The Jazz have not played since a 104-97 victory over Miami on Monday night. It was their fourth win in the last five games.
Utah is 21-19 heading into the game against the Cavaliers, who are only 10-31 but coming off a 93-88 victory at Portland.
Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin gave his team two days off before resuming practice Thursday and Friday.
According to Gordon Hayward, the break came at an opportune time for Utah, which already has played 24 road games.
"It was good for us to get that rest," Hayward said. "We've kind of been going non-stop."
Hayward isn't worried the Jazz lost their edge during the break because of the two hard practices.
"They were competitive," he said, "and I think that's how it should be trying to make each other better."
The Jazz are 9-5 against Eastern Conference opponents this season, including 3-0 at home. They have beaten the Cavaliers five straight times, going back to 2009.
Cleveland is led by point guard Kyrie Irving, who averages 23.3 points and 5.6 assists.
He is joined in the backcourt by Rookie of the Year candidate Dion Waiters, who averages 14.5 points.
Waiters missed the Cavs' shootaround Saturday morning, however, and is listed as questionable for the game against Utah.

Rolling Stone: Nicki Minaj ruled the roost at...
Summer Jam 2014: Nicki Minaj Wins
The most apparent cultural shift came via the evening's headliner: Nicki Minaj, the first woman Summer Jam headliner since Alicia Keys in 2008 and, barring this year's performance by Sevyn Streeter, the only woman booked for the main bill in the years since. In 2012, Minaj was scheduled but did not perform after the Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg dissed her — and women hip-hop fans — while hosting the festival's smaller stage, announcing, "I know there's some chicks here waiting to sing 'Starships' later, I'm not talking to y'all right now, fuck that bullshit. I'm here to talk about real hip-hop shit."
As if to prove him wrong, she took to her pink Swarovski-encrusted mic with a vengeance, rapping old hits like "Beez in the Trap" and her MC-destroying "Monster" verse, as well as newer songs like "Lookin Ass" and the Soulja Boy-featuring "Yasss Bish!!!," as though she were chewing and spitting out everyone around her. On her remixes of "Chiraq" and "Danny Glover," for which she brought out the uber-relevant rappers Lil Herb and Young Thug, you could practically see her fangs grow. And on "Moment for Life," one of the "pop" singles that, presumably, Rosenberg maligned, she sang passionately and defiantly with two back-up singers who borderline took it to church. In the best set of the night, she enunciated each word with utter confidence, showing just what type of polished, astoundingly precise rapper pop stardom has made her.
Still, Minaj's most dramatic and exhilarating moment occurred about a half-hour in. Courting the Summer Jam expectation that beef shall be wrought — and, perhaps, echoing the chaos that went down in the G-Unit set earlier — the rapper announced that she had beef with one of her Young Money cohorts. "Drake? I used to love you, but nigga I don't fuck with you no more!" The crowd was utterly shocked for about 15 seconds, moaning and booing… until Drake himself emerged to the beat of "Worst Behavior," bodying his verses while Minaj smiled to herself, clearly proud her prank had gotten over.
And when the charismatic Lil Wayne emerged, shirtless and all smiles, for "Believe Me," the reaction from 70,000-plus in the stadium showed that, perhaps, a new kind of Summer Jam was in order, perhaps one more about unity than division. It was an inveterate rapper from New Orleans feting his protégées — a fierce, drag-queen-channeling woman from Queens and a biracial nice-guy from Toronto — and it was the most current hip-hop moment of the night.

We received our shipment of hats and stickers here at Webmonkey HQ. They look super-sharp if you ask us. We've gotten a lot of comments about the monkey's "haircut" in the comments and posts surrounding the relaunch, and it tickles us that the feedback has been so positive. Really, all we did was take him to the groomer and give some New Media glasses. (Actually, the monkey was given a makeover by our good buddy Tim — thanks, Tim!)
Here are the stickers:
And the hats:
A close up of the embroidery:
A bit more subtle than the old Webmonkey beanies from the 1990s, but just as warm. We also have baseball hats with the new monkey logo and, soon, T-shirts. We'll be handing out some of this swag at the Webmonkey launch party, which will happen some time next week in San Francisco. Watch for the announcement on Upcoming. Also, we'll be doing some sticker drops at coffee shops around San Francisco in the next week or so — follow Webmonkey on Twitter to find out where and when.Go Back to Top.

An amendment to the Farm Bill by Congressman Steve King, R-Iowa, preventing one state from regulating production practices in other states is facing criticism from the Humane Society of the United States.
King explained the addition, known as the King Amendment, on Tuesday's Beltway Beef weekly audio by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The amendment says states cannot regulate the manufacture or means of production of the agriculture products that are listed in current law.
In the interview, he cites California as an example of one state influencing regulation in the other 49 states, forcing added infrastructure and raising the cost of livestock production.
"California passed a referendum that doubled the cage size requirement for laying hens, and that's fine. But then they passed a law that said no eggs can come into California unless they're also raised in double the cage size. That means double the infrastructure investment for all of our laying houses in America, because California's that big of a market that they can command that."
The amendment if facing opposition from what King calls the Vegan Lobby, the HSUS. King says they are trying to raise the cost of production to reduce consumption of eggs, milk, cheese and meats.
"The best people to manage our livestock are the ones who have a vested interest in it," King said. "Our feeders are the people that will make sure our cattle are taken care of because they care about them, they care about the production."
The amendment doesn't affect animal health, and only addresses means of production of agriculture products. King says large animal veterinarians are supportive of the amendment as it leaves animal health in the same condition it's in today and doesn't inhibit states or federal government.

Even if you don't know the name August Escoffier you have likely experienced his culinary innovation. In the late 19th century, he revolutionized French cuisine.
Now, St. Paul writer N.M. Kelby is exploring his life, and his loves, in her new novel "White Truffles in Winter."
When Nicole Kelby lists Escoffier's achievements it is clear that although he was short in stature, he was a culinary giant. He invented dishes, devised ways of running kitchens, and created entire traditions.
"Every time you go into a restaurant and order a la carte, that's Escoffier," she said. "If you have ever heard of peaches melba, cherries jubilee. If you have ever been to McDonald's — McDonald's is Escoffier's, well, contribution to the world, because he set up the back of the kitchen — the brigade system."
The first person to commercially can tomatoes, Escoffier consulted with the Knorr brand food company, as it created its condensed soups. He also worked with hotelier Cesar Ritz to set up the famous hotel chain. Escoffier also built and staffed the kitchen on the RMS Titanic.
Kelby first came across him in her mother's kitchen, where his cookbooks, with cracked spines and food-stained pages were considered bibles.
"So when my mother died, I just as an homage to her, I just started trying to figure out who this guy was," Kelby said. "And I fell totally in love with him."
Kelby learned that Escoffier's achievements are well chronicled, but his private life is more of a mystery. He knew royalty. He often cooked for England's Queen Victoria and Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm, but Kelby says Escoffier knew when he should fade into the background.
"He was sort of part of their lives," Kelby said. "And yet he always recognized he was not. He was the man who cooked for them."
Escoffier also had a long and ambiguous relationship with one of the most celebrated stage performers of the 1800s, Sarah Bernhardt.
Escoffier became obsessed with Bernhardt. Every year until she died, he traveled to wherever she was on her birthday to cook her a dinner of scrambled eggs. He named dishes for her.
"...perhaps the most profound act that we do for each other, is to feed each other. That is a form of love because it continues everything in the world."N.M. Kelby
In some chapters in "White Truffles in Winter" Kelby adopts Escoffier voice to deliver the recipes for such delicacies as 'Potage Sarah Bernhardt,' a chicken consomme with crayfish, black truffles and asparagus tips.
"This is a soup for Miss Bernhardt," Kelby reads. "It is simply as delightful as she was. I personally have served it to her on several occasions, and it is one of the many dishes she asked for repeatedly, although once it is served she will not eat it. She only requests it to make you happy."
Bernhard scandalized polite society by naming her many lovers, but never admitted to a liaison with Escoffier. Kelby's not so sure.
"They must have been quite profoundly friends with benefits," Kelby laughed. "But they must have had great respect for each other."
The fact Escoffier was married complicated matters profoundly. His wife, Delphine, endured the constant moving his career required until he went to London to create the Savoy. That's when she said enough, and returned to France.
"She was pregnant with their third child, and this is fact," Kelby said. "And they were separated for 30-odd years, but they had a close relationship."
"White Truffles in Winter" is set in the days just before World War I when Escoffier had retired and returned to Delphine. As they both look back, she desperately wants him to name a dish for her, but he's reluctant.
"And he says 'How do you summarize the complexities of love in a single plate?'" said Kelby.
Many of Kelby's readings recently, including tonight's at Golden Fig Fine Foods in St. Paul, have been in culinary establishments.
Yet, at its center, "White Truffles in Winter" is about love. Kelby talks about the transformative experience of cooking for someone you love. She said a meal is a cook's vision of the world which sustains the person who eats it.
"It becomes part of you, and you move on, and you make a difference in the world because I feed you," she said. And that is perhaps the most profound act that we do for each other, is to feed each other. That is a form of love because it continues everything in the world."
This realization was life changing for Nicole Kelby. She regularly expounds on it in her blog "At Escoffier's Table."

Episode 93: Miniature Donkeys Are Great
After a brief hiatus, we return with an action-packed show (ok, we just talk a lot). After going on an email-inspired rant about the current state of baseball content on the internet, we delve into the game itself and discuss everything from Josh Hamilton's crazy run to Stanford righty Mark Appel to the lack of power prospects to the current state of the Arizona and Colorado systems. Then it's special guest time and a serious discussion about baseball and race with Doug Glanville in what is one of my favorite interviews in the history of the show. As always, we end with the goofy stuff, and as always, we thank you for listening and hope you enjoy.
Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language and subject matter. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Glanville interview should be required listening for all baseball fans, and when they finally make me Commissioner for Life, I will make it so!

That is a fantastic interview with Glanville. Also required listening for English soccer fans who might not have understood why John Henry absolutely had to take the Liverpool racism issue massively seriously.

St. Landry Law Enforcement Charge Lafayette Man With Indecent Behavior With Juvenile
A 22-year-old Lafayette man has been arrested by the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office on a charge of computer aided solicitation of a minor and indecent behavior with a juvenile.
St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office Spokesperson Captain Megan Vizena says,
"We are warning parents to keep an eye on their children's online activity, especially if kids become defensive. Our kids are vulnerable and they are spending a lot of time in the same place as sexual predators-the internet. Statistics show that 78 percent of kids ages 12 to 17 have a cell phone, with half of those devices being a smart phone that can access the internet. It starts with a simple conversation on the computer but can turn into something much more dangerous. If you think something is going on, always trust your parental intuition and look further."
Vizena says due to the nature of the case they will not release any further information on the case.
Thibodeaux was bonded out of the St. Landry Parish Jail with a $15,000 bond.

Padres add catching depth in trade with Royals
PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Padres traded for catcher Adam Moore on Tuesday and promptly sent him to their Minor League camp.
Moore, 29, spent the past two seasons with the Royals organization. He appeared in a combined nine games in 2012-13 while spending the majority of each season in the Minor Leagues.
"He's been around the Cactus League. He's a guy our scouts liked," said Padres manager Bud Black. "It's always nice to have some experienced catching in your Minor League system."
The Padres sent cash considerations or a player to be named to the Royals in the deal.
Moore comes to the Padres organization with a strong reputation as being a good catch-and-throw guy.
The team officially lost left-handed reliever Patrick Schuster, who was claimed on waivers by the Royals. Schuster was told Monday that he wasn't going to make the team's 25-man Opening Day roster.
Moore, who is a career .200 hitter in 271 plate appearances over five seasons in the Major Leagues, will head to Triple-A El Paso.

However, I have a question about one speech of the Conseco Fieldhouse announcer!
At the end of very close games, in the last timeout for example, a deep voice occurs (announcer himself?), speaking something I don't really understand..!

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that is common in the general population. PTSD symptoms include re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, and increased arousal. The primary treatments of PTSD are psychotherapy and antidepressant medications. While both are effective, many patients continue to have significant symptoms. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a new research and treatment modality that uses a small powerful electromagnet to directly stimulate the brain. This stimulation may increase or decrease brain activity. The treatments have been shown to be effective in other disorders such as depression. Initial treatment of patients with PTSD using rTMS has been hopeful. This study is the first randomized controlled trial to examine the efficacy of rTMS for PTSD.
This study would be the first randomized placebo controlled trial to examine the efficacy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for PTSD. The primary hypothesis is that there will be significant improvement in the patients' PTSD symptoms from pre-treatment to post-treatment with rTMS. A secondary hypothesis is that the patients' co-morbid depressive symptoms will improve from pre-treatment to post-treatment. Forty subjects with PTSD will be recruited from the White River Junction VAMC. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either active rTMS or sham rTMS. Patients, staff performing the treatments, and staff completing the assessments will all be blinded to active or sham treatment.

Sakho to announce future plans
France centre-back Mamadou Sakho has revealed he has made a decision about his future at Paris Saint-Germain but is keeping it to himself for the moment.
• Ibra: Fans don't need to worry
The 23-year-old, linked with Liverpool and Monaco, has a year left on his current deal at the Parc des Princes, but faced with increased competition for places following the €32 million arrival of Marquinhos, allied to the presence of both Thiago Silva and Alex in Laurent Blanc's squad, the Paris-born defender has been considering his options.
Following discussions with both Blanc and club president Nasser Al Khelaifi, Sakho has now reached a decision on whether or not to accept a two-year contract extension, though he told L'Equipe he is not quite ready to make it public.
"Now that I've spoken with them, everything is clear in my mind. I'll announce my decision in the near future," Sakho said, before indicating his ambitions of playing for France at the 2014 World Cup had helped dictate his choice.
"When you're an ambitious player, you dream all the time of wearing the colours of your country. This summer, I've made a clear choice, taking into account the French national team."

COMMUTERS are bracing themselves for almost two months of road chaos when a section of the A420 is closed from tomorrow.
Drivers travelling from Swindon to Oxford will be met with diversions and heavy delays while Oxfordshire Council close the busy route to carry out resurfacing work.
For seven weeks, the road will be shut from the Bourton turn-off up to the Watchfield roundabout. The closure is likely to result in many vehicles passing through nearby villages such as Shrivenham.
Up to 20,000 vehicles a day use the section of road, and local people, while accepting the work needs to be done, are asking drivers to try and find alternative routes if possible.
Sarah Day, chairwoman of Shrivenham parish council, said: "We know that whatever diversions are put in place we are going to see a lot of traffic coming through.
"What we would ask, is people please try and avoid passing through Shrivenham if they can avoid it. Fortunately we have two routes going either way, one along Faringdon Road and the other along Longcot Road.
"That should help a bit because parts of Longcot are so narrow it just wouldn't be possible to have traffic going both ways and keep it flowing.
"The work has to be done but we want the impact on the people who live here to be as little as possible."
Larger trucks, weighing more than 7.5 tonnes, will not be allowed to travel through the village and will have to take a much longer route, but Sarah is concerned how that will be enforced.
She said: "We are told it will be marshalled and there will be temporary traffic lights, but these will be at the Bourton junction, so any large truck which comes along the A420 will have to perform a turn in the road.
"If there is already traffic queuing then this will create all sorts of problems."
Over the past couple of years various sections of the road have been closed for a temporary fix, but it is hoped this will provide a long term solution.
While buses from Swindon are not likely to be affected, local businesses are expecting the closure to hit trade, although they believe finally fixing the road will have long-term benefits.
Paul Booth, who is the franchisee of the Mcdonald's restaurant near the Watchfield Roundabout, said: "Undoubtedly we are going to be impacted by the road closure, but at this stage it is hard to tell by how much.
"Hopefully though, this will be a case of short term pain for a long term gain.
"The council has been putting in quick fixes for a while. They wouldn't be shutting the road if there wasn't a good reason."
A number of diversion routes have been put in place to minimise hold-ups.
A spokesman for Oxfordshire Council said: "Although the work will result in disruption, it is essential and should mean that no major road reconstruction will be required on this stretch of road for many years.
"All road users will be affected and severe delays are to be expected. Drivers should check travel plans and where possible consider alternative routes."
Traffic to be diverted through Shrivenham
- All HGVs over 7.5 tons will be prohibited from using the A420 and will be re-routed via the A34/M4.
- All other traffic will be diverted through Shrivenham High Street which will have a 20mph speed restriction temporarily imposed from Townsend Road.
- Oxford bound traffic will be directed onto Faringdon Road through the pinch point which will not be removed. A 30mph speed restriction will be temporarily imposed for the full length of Faringdon Road.
- Swindon bound traffic will be diverted via Majors Road and Longcot Road and a 40mph speed restriction temporarily imposed. In addition there will be temporary 20mph speed restrictions through Bourton and Ashbury.
- Contractors will be responsible for marshalling the traffic at both ends of the bypass and ensuring HGVs are turned back.
- A number of signs will be located on both the A34 and M4 to encourage HGVs not to use the A420.
- Shops and businesses are to encourage deliveries to be outside peak hours if possible. lThe double yellow lines in Shrivenham High Street will be re-painted and traffic cones placed to ensure no parking from IV Florist to the Highworth Road

The Cleveland Browns didn't draft a quarterback to give Brandon Weeden competition. But that doesn't mean their rookie head coach, offensive-minded former Panthers coordinator Rob Chudzinski, is letting him have the job. Chudzinski, per CBS Cleveland, admitted he's not yet committed to Weeden as the team's starter for 2013.
The 2012 first-rounder had an up-and-down rookie year, and it brought serious doubts if the new Browns regime, including Chudzinski and Michael Lombardi, would stick with Weeden. It's best for them to keep their options option, even if those are limited.
Don't discount the ability of free-agent addition Jason Campbell to take over as a short-term solution in 2013. He has the skills and experience to be efficient in the Chudzinski-Norv Turner scheme. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the Browns will give Campbell a legitimate shot to win the job.
Campbell says he wants to win the job, but to his credit, he also says he will support Weeden any way he can.
"It's not about egos and things like that," he told the Plain Dealer. "I'm going to help Brandon as much as possible, but at the same time, I'm going to push him and compete."
If Campbell does win the job, the Browns should start looking hard at Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater and Clemson's Tajh Boyd in the 2014 draft.

NEW YORK ( LowCards.com) -- Recent security breaches at Target, Neiman Marcus, Skype and Snapchat show identity theft has become a major problem in our society.
Personal information, email, credit cards and bank accounts are unfortunately not as private and protected as we think. It is important for consumers to recognize suspicious activity and take steps to protect themselves.
Here are the top 10 signs you need to look out for to spot identity theft:
1. Unauthorized credit or debit card purchases
Fraudulent debit or credit card purchases are a clear indication of identity theft. You need to carefully review each transaction that appears on your statement. If you notice something on your account that you do not remember buying, you need to contact the card company immediately.
2. Unexpected credit approvals
Have you ever been approved for a loan or a credit card you never applied for? That may be a sign of identity theft. You have to be careful about jumping to that conclusion, though, since some businesses send out mass mailings of what appear to be approvals of a loan.
3. Instant credit decline
This one applies to people who normally have good credit and stay up to date with their credit card payments. If you try to apply for a loan and get instantly declined, it may be because there are issues with your credit you don't know about. The same is true if you try to use your card and it gets rejected at the register. If you know you should have credit and you don't, you need to investigate.

Good food. My husbands steak was amazing. Waiter was knowledgable. Good place to go if you are hungry!
I really liked it. I had the steak k-bob with green beans and French fries. The green beans were great. The waitress was awesome and nice. They have a dedicated fryer for French fries I would recommend this place to anyone GF and DF.
I thought it was exceptional! Our waitress was very knowledgeable & friendly. She offered gluten free bread to my son. I tried it with honey butter & it was really good. I ordered shrimp 2 ways with sweet potato & salad. It was all delicious & the portions were very big. My son ordered the steak kabob with fries (dedicated fryer!) & green beans. He was very satisfied!
Great options! Did not feel restricted all.
Not Celiac Friendly.
Found a battered crispy under my fries. Called and they said they had gluten free chicken nuggets so I continued to eat. There is no way they were gluten free. I'm so sick. Don't go here if celiac.
Great food! Was a little worried when talking with waiter. I asked about separate fryers...and he said that they were...but I couldn't have fries because they aren't on the gluten-free menu. But they ARE on the menu...so I wasn't sure what to think about that. But I guess he was just being overly cautious??? Either way I had the steak and grilled shrimp and it was delicious. No ill effects. One happy celiac! :)
Great experience at Saltgrass. They offer a full gluten-free menu. I enjoyed a 6 oz. filet, hold the butter (I am also dairy-free) and crispy onion strings. All of their veggies are marinated in butter, so I opted instead for a baked sweat potato without any toppings. The steak was great, however, my husband was not very happy with the chicken (frozen??). I guess you shouldn't expect great chicken from a steakhouse. For the price and the overall experience, I would highly recommend this restaurant.
2484 Stemmons Freeway, Lewisville, TX 75067
They have a dedicated gluten free menu. The server was accommodating but couldn't answer why a plan baked sweet potato was not an option on the gluten free menu.
2885 Cinema Ridge, San Antonio, TX 78238
I was so excited to go to this steakhouse because of the reviews; however, the service was bad and plain negligible. I had to tell the waitress multiple times about my gluten intolerance yet she still wanted to bring the regular bread, didn't bother to offer their GF bread, and brought a salad with croutons and bread crumbs. I felt like I needed to justify to her each time why I couldn't eat these things and she made it seem like a drag when she had to go back to either change the order or bring my husband and I GF bread once we inquired about it. The food was okay at best. The amount we paid at the end was a joke after the terrible service and insensitivity. I wish some people could be more understanding of health issues individuals have.
2801 Craig Dr, McKinney, TX 75070
The wait staff was super friendly regarding a gluten-free diet. The steak, salad, and gluten-free bread were delicious!
19310 Cottonwood Dr, Parker, CO 80138
I have eaten here many times: steak, baked potato, sweet potato, asparagus, and salad. I let them know I have a gluten "allergy", and have had no ill effects. (Love their steaks.) They have a gluten free menu. They have gf bread, but I've only ordered it once: too many carbs!
905 E Gregory St, Pensacola, FL 32502
Staff was knowledgeable and offered a gf menu. A robust menu with appetizer items, plenty of entrees to please even the most discriminating palette. Beautiful view, handicap friendly and the sweet tea was excellent! 😁
1649 Laguna Dr, Rockwall, TX 75087
I got Caesar salad from their gluten free menu. I got a bowl of Caesar salad that had obviously had the croutons picked out. Obvious because they missed some.
6026 Marsha Sharp Fwy, Lubbock, TX 79407
The place was beautiful and the Staff was very friendly. As for the gluten free menu, it was a decent size with plenty of items to choose from. I loved that they had a loaf of Gluten free bread that you got before your meal. while that was all wonderful, our experience was not the best. We had asked before hand if this was a place we could get in and out of pretty quickly for a sit down dinner. (hoping for 30 to 45 mins) They said we would be able to, only for us to be there over an hour and closer to and hour and a half. The worst part of the meal was the fact we were brought refills on our drinks, they didn't ask if we wanted refills and they left within seconds not giving us a change to ask if they were free of charge. Only for us to learn that they were not free. We had to pay for refills that we really didn't need since we hardly drank any of it. The waitress was also far to personal with her life. Overall the two stars are for the care we got with the rest of the Staff and the excellent gluten free menu.
6026 Marsha Sharp Fwy, Lubbock, TX 79407
Great steaks, very GF accommodating
100 Branson Landing Blvd #801, Branson, MO 65616
Everything was great. Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten intolerant people and provided excellent service and food. Highly recommend.
502 E River Walk St, San Antonio, TX 78205
This restaurant was very accommodating! Offered gluten free bread as appetizer (udi's bun) and has a full gluten free menu. Manager came out also to double check. They made sure everything was correct also. Great food!!!
100 Branson Landing Blvd #801, Branson, MO 65616
We ate here for a late lunch. I am highly sensitive to gluten and did not get glutened! Food was good and staff was friendly and knowledgeable and went out of their way to assure food was gluten free. Also served warm gluten free bread with meal! Highly recommended.
8300 Interstate 40, Amarillo, TX 79106
They have a good selection of items on their gf menu. Be sure and ask for it, because it is a separate menu. Be sure you tell the wait staff you are eating gluten free. Never had trouble with anything there.
2885 Cinema Ridge, San Antonio, TX 78238
Extensive GF menu. I had a well prepared salmon dish.
5600 Legend Lake Pkwy, Waco, TX 76712
My favorite part of our visit was that they brought me my very own loaf of gluten free bread, and it was delicious!!! Also, their baked potato soup is gluten free and was very good. Can't wait to go back on our next trip to Texas!
905 E Gregory St, Pensacola, FL 32502
I was invited to this restaurant to celebrate with some friends. Before going I called the restaurant to inquire whether they offer gluten free options. They have a gluten sensitive menu. I was a little scared but went anyway. I was provided with the menu and proceeded to order from it. I ordered the grilled salmon, rice, and potato soup. The waiter quickly returned and informed me that the chef was concerned about the soup as he felt there were a few ingredients he thot might have gluten. I then ordered a dinner salad. The waiter checked on the dressings to ensure they were safe for me to consume. I am happy to report that the food was so very tasty, and I had no issues whatsoever. While this place is a little pricey, if you're looking for somewhere special to celebrate, this is it!
4330 Texas 6 Frontage Road, College Station, TX 77845
I've eaten here twice and haven't gotten sick. Waiter offered GF bread which is a Udi's hamburger bun and didn't charge me for it. They went out of their way to make sure the food was right!
21855 Katy Freeway, Katy, TX 77450
this place is really bad. the reason is they will put things on the gf menu that are not. the shrimp with bacon are deep fried in shared oil. they won't tell you this anywhere on the menu either. there is no "shared oil" disclaimer. gf fries in a supposedly dedicated frier consistently arrive with onion ring bits in it. if you are serious about gluten avoid this place, they will smile and lie while poisoning you. I had a manager argue with me about a menu item that corp verified I was correct.he was going to poison me.
1649 Laguna Dr, Rockwall, TX 75087
I'm gluten free and came here because 1) the have a nice GF menu and 2) it was right next door to my hotel. Food was great! They only thing I wasn't totally thrilled about was the service. I sat at a table in the bar and it took a good 5-7 minutes for someone to come greet me and ask me what I wanted to drink. Service was very slow, it took my food a long time to come out. Once I was one I sat there another 10 minutes before I got my check. Again, the food is really good, just make sure you have plenty of time.
8300 Interstate 40, Amarillo, TX 79106
Saltgrass always takes special care to avoid cross-contamination. My wife has never had a negative reaction at any Saltgrass Steakhouse.
19310 Cottonwood Dr, Parker, CO 80138
I've been there twice while visiting the area. Both times the brought my salad out with croutons. The last time I told the waiter I'm dairy free. Shrimp came out stuffed with cheese. I sent back but I was sick for days.
11745 I-10 West, San Antonio, TX 78230
Waiter was very respectful & assured me that my food would be prepared correctly. Food was delicious & no reaction.
18680 Interstate 635, Mesquite, TX 75150
Many GG options ! I enjoyed a ceasar salad, steak and garlic mashed
560 Lyndon B Johnson Freeway, Irving, TX 75063
Great menu! They understand gluten free. My only complaint is that the menu font size is so small I couldn't read it.
19310 Cottonwood Dr, Parker, CO 80138
Not gluten free, just "gluten sensitive." They don't use a separate frier or prepping space.
2885 Cinema Ridge, San Antonio, TX 78238
They had a great gluten free menu that has a lot of options. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and nice about what I could eat. He even brought out gluten free bread that had just come out of the oven and it tasted great. Loved it.
1649 Laguna Dr, Rockwall, TX 75087
Love this place, never have had a reaction.
102 State Highway 114, Grapevine, TX 76051
I've been here a few times (when I'm in town for work). Always enjoy Saltgrass. Great steaks! They do have a separate GF menu. And my waiter said they take allergies & celiac very seriously. Manager introduced himself & assured me they would take good care in the kitchen.
747 North Highway 67, Cedar Hill, TX 75104
Very Celiac friendly! Great gluten free menu with all courses.
5600 Legend Lake Pkwy, Waco, TX 76712
Gluten free bread before the meal!
3251 Silverlake Village Drive, Pearland, TX 77584
I have eaten here many times since being diagnosed in April 2014. They have always taken very good care of me and I have never had a reaction.
10614 Research Boulevard, Austin, TX 78759
They are so awesome! They take celiac very serious, offer gluten free bread, and a wide variety. Even my kids have several options. Manager came over several times to check on us.
100 Branson Landing Blvd #801, Branson, MO 65616
Food was not very warm and over seasoned. Ribs dry. Gluten free bread/bun offered. That was a treat! Server very nice!
100 Branson Landing Blvd #801, Branson, MO 65616
This Saltgrass just opened and we ate lunch there today. Excellent gluten free offerings and informed staff. Good experience.
7945 Memorial Blvd, Port Arthur, TX 77640
Very nice staff and a great and helpful menu.
23952 Northwest Freeway, Cypress, TX 77429
Many options, well trained staff. I've been several times and have never had an issue.
102 State Highway 114, Grapevine, TX 76051
GF potato soup! Yum!
4601 Citylake Boulevard West, Fort Worth, TX 76132
Our sever/manager/kitchen staff was amazing at handling our food. I informed our sever that I have celiacs and he went to the manger/kitchen staff and informed them. An assistant manager came to our table and informed us that the general manager was over seeing our food in the kitchen. He said the serves go through training on allergies but the management gets a more extensive training and they have different colored utensils for cooking the different foods. Also the tequila is added in later with the frozen margaritas so we can add a 100% agave tequila and have it!
16910 US 281 North, San Antonio, TX 78232
Great food and service. GF items plentiful and clearly marked. Waitress was very attentive to our needs. And they even brought out GF bread before the meal.
810 Interstate 45 Frontage Road, Conroe, TX 77301
Everything was great. My server even caught something I missed and fixed it before bringing out my plate. Thanks Saltgrass!!!
502 E River Walk St, San Antonio, TX 78205
Very inviting. Good understanding of GF. Manager, Keith, came and talked me. Assured me they take GF very seriously. Filet was excellent.
2300 South Casino Drive, Laughlin, NV 89028
I and my daughters have celiac disease. We are from Ohio and visit family in the area. We have eaten here three times in the last year and found the wait staff to be very accommodating and we love the GF menu.
18680 Interstate 635, Mesquite, TX 75150
Great steak and GF bread! No gluten reaction for me.
502 E River Walk St, San Antonio, TX 78205
incredible gluten free dining experience! when I told my waiter donnie about my gluten allergy he immediately relayed the information to the manager keith, both were very knowledgeable and made my dining experience superb!
19720 Southwest Freeway, Sugar Land, TX 77479
Large gf menu and very helpful !1
18680 Interstate 635, Mesquite, TX 75150
Talked to the manager about my need for a strictly GF meal. He was very helpful and oversaw the prep of my dinner. The veggies were cold. Steak & baked potato were good. I did not try the GF bread. Their GF dessert was limited to only ice cream. Since the server could only tell me that the ice cream was supplied by an outside company (& not which one) just for Sawgrass, I chose not to try it. Too many brands of ice cream are not GF, & I did not want to risk getting glutened on my trip.
14909 Interstate 45, Houston, TX 77090
best gf steakhouse I've been to and the customer service was fantastic. enjoyed my meal with a big smile :)
6026 Marsha Sharp Fwy, Lubbock, TX 79407
They have a pretty good menu for GF, you can pull it up on line. They even offered me GF bread while we waited for our food.
8300 Interstate 40, Amarillo, TX 79106
They were great! They had a gluten free menu and the staff was knowledgable and very helpful. I didn't get contaminated and I would definitely eat here again.
520 Meyerland Plaza, Houston, TX 77096
Gluten-free menu available. One of my favorite restaurants for gluten-free meals.
2885 Cinema Ridge, San Antonio, TX 78238
Awesome dinner. Steakhouse has a great gluten free menu. I had the ribs and grilled shrimp and I can honestly say that it was the best gf meal I have ever had. They even brought me gf bread with my salad and it was delicious. Highly recommend.

Should I purchase one thru ATT or go to a big box store and buy it. Are there additional fees to pay if I get it thru the box store that are built into the ATT price?
Advantages disadvantages................no, I'm not the least interested in a Mini as this will be used for client presentations.
If they are bluetooth capable I will give up my iPhone and transfer everything to the iPad. Including my personal hotspot (no jokes please)
BTW....how do I sell (or can I ) an I-3 and an I-4 ? Or can they be used as a trade-in at ATT?

Back with Yanks, McCann nearing activation
ST. PETERSBURG -- Brian McCann has rejoined the Yankees in Florida after spending the Orioles series in New York, recovering from a mild concussion.
McCann participated in on-field activities on Friday, performing catching drills and taking batting practice. After the club's 5-0 loss to the Rays, McCann said that the Yankees are "shooting for Sunday" to activate him from the seven-day concussion disabled list.
"I'm really happy with the way today went as a whole," McCann said earlier on Friday. "Now it's a matter of seeing how I feel in an hour, seeing how I feel in two hours. I'll know more tonight."
McCann said that he started to feel better after three days of rest. He was hit by a foul tip in an Aug. 8 game against the Indians at Yankee Stadium.
"I never thought that I would ever come out of a game from a foul tip," McCann said. "The way it hit me, it's definitely the hardest I've ever been hit."

Not all catnip is the same. To be effective catnip must be fresh and aromatic. Give your cat the best, USA-sourced, 100% natural catnip - available as flakes or super-potent pellets, which are 50% stronger than flakes. Each jar of flakes or pellets also contains catnip-saturated pompons. Both styles can be inserted in toys, placed in bowls, or simply scattered about. Your feline friend will flip over whichever style you choose, Flakes (2 oz or 4 oz) or Pellets (16 oz or 2 lbs). These larger economy jars supply ample catnip for several refillable toys or scratchers.
Catnip can be given daily to cats, but after a few minutes, its effectiveness wears off and your cat will need to be away from the catnip for a while in order to experience a reaction again.

A study led by scientists of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science in Hamburg presents evidence of the coexistence of superconductivity and "charge-density-waves" in compounds of the poorly-studied family of bismuthates.

After posting my recipe for homemade oatmeal mix the other day, I remembered that I wanted to share this idea for topping off your morning oats.
Admittedly, it's a little indulgent. Amarena cherries are a type of tart cherry grown in northern Italy. They're soaked in grappa or brandy and packed in cherry syrup, and let me tell you they are the Cherry Bomb. I really like their tart sweetness and intense almond-like essence.
It could be that the word "amarena" makes me think of amaretto. I'm not sure how the extracted almond flavor is achieved; whether it's naturally how the cherries taste or if they're enhanced by the type of brandy used – all I know is the cherries work very nicely paired with the crunch of toasted almonds and warm, creamy oats.
I didn't find much info on how amarena cherries are made; if you know more I'd love to hear.
They are sweet and rich, but a little goes a long way here. Feel good knowing that cherries are regarded as a superfood with protective benefits against degenerative disease.
Oatmeal with Amarena Italian Cherries & Almonds
- 1/2 cup homemade oatmeal mix
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon ground golden flaxseed
- 1 or 2 tablespoons amarena cherries in syrup, depending on your sweet tooth
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted
- Mix the oatmeal mix and milk in a microwaveable bowl; microwave on high heat for 1 - 1/2 minutes or until the milk is absorbed and the oats are thickened to your liking.
- Top the bowl with the flaxseed, cherries and almonds. Enjoy.

Members of a Chippenham Rotary club were treated to a surprise guest at the president's dinner last Friday - Isla St Clair.
The 62-year-old Scottish folk singer became a household name when she co–hosted The Generation Game with Larry Grayson from 1978 to 1981, which pulled in 18 million viewers on a Saturday night.
Outgoing president David Ockwell booked her as a surprise thank you for Wiltshire Vale Rotary Club, but didn't tell anyone she was coming.
He said: "They were gobsmacked.
"It was phenomenal, she took the roof off. I think she's the best folk singer around, there's no one better in the country.
"It was my way of saying thank you to the club. I'm just thrilled and delighted that she came. She is an extraordinary human being."
St Clair joined 56 Rotarians and friends for a meal at Guyer's House, Corsham, before singing and playing acoustic guitar for an hour-and-a-half.
She has released about 20 albums and made TV appearances on Morecambe and Wise, Max Bygraves Show, The Royal Variety Show, Parkinson, Blue Peter and Blankety Blank, plus her own series The Farm On The Hill.
The Rotary club's presidency has now passed to Patrick Rule.

Greg has a studio in The Cotton Mill in Brattleboro where he works with fellow woodworker Bela creating some of the finest wood furniture and cabinetry in Vermont. Greg let us film some of his work recently and we've included it in a short video about Vermont Woods Studios Furniture that's available on our website.
It shows Greg working on a huge slab of catalpa wood, crafting it into a gorgeous custom dining table. In the video he talks about George Nakishima who is a source of inspiration for his slab tables. Nakishima, a Japanese-American woodworker and architect was a pioneer in the art of transforming figured organic wood forms like live edge slabs and burls into custom tables and furniture for the home.
You can watch the video that includes Greg's live edge table creation here. We'll post additional videos of Greg's work over the next couple weeks. If you're looking for a live edge table, Greg has the one shown above in his shop now.
