| First certified manuka honey launched
Thomas Henle, Head of the Institute of Food Chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden, writing in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, refers to the results of a Dresden study which “unambiguously demonstrates for the first time that Methylglyoxal is directly responsible for the antibacterial activity of manuka honey.” Prof Henle notes the high amounts of Methylglyoxal found in manuka honey have not been found in any other food. Researchers at the university analysed 40 samples of honey from various sources around the world, including six New Zealand manuka honeys. They found Methylglyoxal levels in the manuka honeys, including a Manuka Health product, were up to 1000-fold higher than in the non-manuka products. Their tests found a median Methylglyoxal level in non-manuka honeys of 3.1 mg/kg.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. Don't forget to get that special someone that gift they've been looking for. The monthly board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 21 in the library at 7 p.m. The Richards and W.E. Hall meeting will be April 12 at Ryan's Steakhouse in Conroe at 11 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, was a special day for my sister, Marilyn Hill. Her son Ricky, fianc Lauren and grandbaby Jayden took her out to eat at Pappasitos. Well of course this didn't stop me from celebrating again. My nephew said if I came, he would treat me as well, so my daughter Brinelle and I met them and we had a blast. My mom Annie was treated to a delicious meal as well. I would like to tell my nephew thanks for a great outing! Please continue to pray for the sick and shut-ins.
New Latah Bistro Classes
Join Heather Black-DuPree, owner of Latah Bistro, for the Tastes of Tuscany cooking classes every Sunday from 12 to 3 p.m. The classes feature recipes from Siena, Italy where Black-Dupree recently took classes herself. "Heather's style incorporated a passion for food with stories, trivia and traditional cooking knowledge," the Duprees said in a news release. Future classes will include Latah Bistro Chef David Blaine and other chefs from the restaurant. The restaurant is closed so students use the kitchen and dining room for the private classes. When they arrive they'll meet other students, put on an apron and then start cooking. Recipes will be provided along with wine to sip and appetizers. At the end of the night, the group sits down to the three-course meal they made that night.

February 2008
As you have more people living in more places, extreme weather will cause more property damage. The report concludes that "Even Hurricane Katrina is not outside the range of normalized estimates for past storms." And that's a consensus conclusion.

Man Indicted in Noose Display at Jena Six Rally
A man was indicted on federal hate crime and conspiracy charges in connection with threatening marchers at a civil rights rally during which nooses were displayed on the back of a pickup truck, U.S. Attorney Donald Washington said. Jeremiah Munsen, 18, and another individual allegedly conspired to intimidate African-American demonstrators at the Sept. 20 rally, crafting two nooses out of extension cords, attaching them to the back of the vehicle and repeatedly driving slowly by a group of marchers waiting at a bus depot to return to Tennessee, officials said. Six teens, known as the Jena Six, were arrested after a December 2006 attack on a white student, Justin Barker, at Jena High School. The case drew national attention, with civil rights leaders decrying the severity of the charges against the teens.
Early birds troop to Manila cemetery
Relatives have started arriving to visit the tombs of their departed family members at the Manila North Cemetery on Sunday ahead of the All Saint's and All Soul's holidays later this week.
ABS-CBN News correspondent Zen Hernandez reported that people carrying flowers and buckets of paint began their annual exodus to the cemetery to prepare for the occasion.
Some said they chose to visit the grave of their departed family to avoid the inconvenience of the crowd on November 1 and 2.
"Gusto namin kasing i-avoid yung rush. Dito kasi pag a-uno ang daming tao (We wanted to avoid the rush. There will be plenty of people here on November 1)," said Gino Evaristo, one of the early visitors.
The Manila North Cemetery is considered the biggest cemetery in the country.
DTG: HD proposals compromise DTT viability
Valista a provider of multi-channel merchandising, payments and settlement solutions announced the results of a global poll of the media and entertainment, broadband/cable, and mobile industries on significant industry developments in 2007 as well as upcoming challenges and opportunities for 2008. Forty-six per cent of mobile industry insiders surveyed believe that developing business strategies to capitalise on convergence will be the biggest challenge in 2008 - followed closely by declining ARPU at 30 per cent. Capitalising on convergence may become even more challenging when confronted with the pessimism within the broadband and cable industry where three quarters predict that less than 10 per cent of broadband and cable providers will offer programming over the mobile channel in 2008 - showing that mobile-broadband convergence is still viewed by the industry to be in its early stages.
Reviews of all the latest DVD releases
Fast Food Nation (15), new on DVD from Tartan Video. Fast Food Nation is a revolting film, a truly revolting film, a film which looks at America's fast-food industry from every aspect and finds it grossly wanting in each. From the corrupt executives who cover up poor food-processing to the immigrant workers bullied and maimed in the factories, it offers a stomach-churning picture of mass food production for instant gratification. Excrement makes its way into the burgers; workers' limbs are ripped off; and so too are the consumers, unaware of the gruesome processes which lie behind the smiling face of the big companies who churn out such filth. The film pulls no punches. The film of animals being slaughtered and disembowelled will doubtless increase veggie numbers. But does the film work? Just about yes, but there is scope for plenty of reservations.
Will over chill: Olympic hopeful Bethany Brewster doesn't let the cold ...
As cold and snowy as it's been recently, you can still see Bethany Brewster running outside in Madison. Sometimes twice a day. She competed in the U.S. Olympic trials four years ago in the 1,500-meter event, setting a personal-best time in the semi-finals of 4 minutes, 11.18 seconds, but then missing a chance to make the Olympic team by finishing 13th in the finals at the trials. .
