| RBA expected to lift rates
So the decision was taken, that why let the general public and financial markets wait almost another day to hear the result. They may as well announce it as soon as the board meeting's over. "Hence the 2:30pm AEDT announcement time." Tags: economic-trends, finance-markets, business-regulation, federal-government, australia .
Calcium rich, budget-wise foods to build bones
If you're bemoaning the high price of milk, we've got a surprise: It's still the best deal in town when it comes to calcium. Even at $4 a gallon, milk costs just 25 cents for an 8-ounce serving, and an 8-ounce glass delivers 30 percent of the Daily Value for calcium plus 25 percent of the DV for vitamin D, as well as other important nutrients."I had always heard that [milk was the cheapest way to get calcium], but had never done the math," says registered dietitian Georgia Kostas, founder and former director of the department of nutrition at the Cooper Clinic. But it makes sense, she says: The more food is processed – into cheese, for example, and shredded after that – the more it costs. Milk prices started rising sharply in 2004, according to U.S.
Bill Conlin: Evidently, Clemens is in a pile of trouble
USED SYRINGES and bloody gauze typically make headlines only after washing up at the Jersey Shore. Beaches are closed while environmentalists and Chamber of Commerce types correctly hyperventilate. It never occurred to me that anybody would hang on to used syringes, empty vials that once contained various steroids and bloody gauze wipes. Let alone hang on to them for what could be as long as 7 to 8 years. But that is what Brian McNamee told a congressional committee in a deposition. In a startling TV show-and-tell yesterday at 5:37 p.m., McNamee's attorneys rolled out enough photos of grungy-looking medical waste after their appearance before a congressional committee to shut down Asbury Park for a month. There was even a crumpled beer can in which McNamee supposedly stored needles used to inject Roger Clemens and others.

Atlanta Music Scene
Two days later the Grammy Awards sent out a press release saying it would announce the nominees for the 50th annual ceremony Dec. 6, and that Akon will be among the presenters. (Presenters are usually nominees as well - so that should make at least one hometown act to cheer for). Thanksgiving night his local imprint Konvict Music had a big signing party planned for its new artist, guitarist/bassist Tony Love, at Lotus Lounge. And the news on Billboard magazine's site today is that Konvict's singer-rapper-producer extraordinaire, T-Pain, has - count them - four singles in the top 10 of its Hots 100 chart. According to the publication, that's the highest number of simultaneous top 10 hits for any artist since hip-hop mogul 50 Cent did it in April 2005. What is it about Akon and T-Pain? Their distinct voices - (or in T-Pain's case, vocoder)? Gifts for melody? Or are you completely baffled by their appeal? Permalink | Comments (1) | Ne-Yo Explains His Exit From R.
Ukrainian News Agency
Zhovti Vody-based Skhidnyi ore mining and enrichment plant, Dnipropetrovsk region, has resumed uranium concentrate exports since January 2008. Fuel and Energy Ministry press secretary Fent Di disclosed this to Ukrainian News. The concentrate produced from new uranium ore is exported. According to director of the nuclear energy and industry department of the Fuel and Energy Ministry Natalia Shumkova, the uranium is exported to Urangesellschaft Mbh, Germany. The OMEP and Urangesellschaft Mbh signed the contract on uranium delivery for the first quarter of 2008. "[OMEP's] produce extracted in the first quarter was sold on the contract with Urangesellschaft," she said. She did not specify the volume of the concentrate delivered. Currently, the Skhidnyi OMEP produces about 800 tons of uranium concentrate from the produced uranium ore.
Tiger facing possible assault charge

I’m Just Sayin’: Are you a social drinker?
We have our share of teetotalers, alcoholics and everything in between that relates to using alcohol here in Southwest Florida. A survey about alcohol usage probably would show that 99 percent of people who drink are merely “social drinkers." One percent would have no opinion or could not remember. While chatting with friends about how we all probably drink more or at least more often than our parents and grandparents did, I wondered what being a “social drinker" means. Most people probably would say a social drinker is anyone who drinks about the same amount he or she does. It's like asking what being “middle aged" means. I think of middle age as about 10 years older than I am, although that definition increasingly strains credulity. Back to drinking — Let's face it.
Dr. Mirta Roses Sworn In For 2nd Term At PAHO, USA
Dr. Mirta Roses, the first woman in charge of the oldest health institution in the world, begins her second term as Director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), saying "As we envision the future, we can dare to dream about events that will become a part of the long history of successes achieved by those who came before us."
In a ceremony with authorities from several countries and regional organizations, Dr. Roses took the oath of office from the Minister of Health of Chile, Dr. María Soledad Barría, who was President of the 27th Pan American Sanitary Conference.
"This is above all a day of commitment. Today I renew my oath to devote myself tirelessly, day by day, hour by hour, to keeping PAHO at the forefront of the response to the regional and global challenges in public health and, particularly, to serve as an instrument for bringing good health to the most neglected, vulnerable, marginalized, and excluded populations," she said.
TRI-K Rolls Out 30 Scented Extracts
TRI-K Industries announced the introduction of TRI-K Scented Extracts, a full line of all natural, aromatic ingredients for cosmetic and personal care products. TRI-K Scented Extracts are touted as high-quality, natural extracts that meet formulators’ needs for natural fragrancing and odor masking. In a Freedonia report, "Flavors & Fragrances to 2009," it is predicted that flavor and fragrance demand in the U.S. will reach $4.6 billion by 2009, with gains being supported by the need to mask unappealing odors in active ingredients. This coupled with today’s increasing consumer demand for more natural products makes TRI-K Scented Extracts a perfect alternative to traditional synthetic fragrances, according to the company. "These all natural extracts provide excellent natural aromas and varying functionality," said John Carratura, senior technical information specialist at TRI-K.
