How To Beat The Flu Virus
SOME people call it the tenner test - the unscientific way of determining whether you have the flu or a common cold. Imagine you saw a £10 note lying in your garden. If you have a cold you'll go and retrieve it, but if you have the flu you'll say 'stuff it' and leave it lying there. Because if sniffing and sneezing characterise a common cold, bone-shaking shivers, pounding headaches and excruciating tiredness signify the flu. The cosy option of snuggling in front of the TV is not an option when the flu virus is coursing through your veins leaving you too ill to move and exhausted after waves of hot fever and cold trembles. Only those who have truly suffered the flu understand its debilitating effects - and they hope the rest of us never experience it.
Ethanol plant builder unfazed by site hazards
The $100 million ethanol distillery proposed for Conoy Township would be built atop an area laced with sinkholes, dissolving rock, vertical cracks and possibly a deep cave, experts have found.
But while opponents hope such findings will help sink the project, the chief engineer who performed the work, Lancaster Biofuels officials and the owners of the incinerator next door say it's neither surprising nor a big deal.
"I've built ethanol tanks in 10 states. I really don't see this as a poor site. I'd say it's an average site," said Joseph Waxse, the principal engineer who oversaw a detailed underground probe of the site in 2004.
Waxse and others say a base of dissolving limestone is not unusual in this part of the country, and there are engineering techniques to safely compensate for such undesirable conditions.

Pet doctor -- Heartworm disease in cats easily prevented
Recently the Sun Herald carried a column by a California veterinarian who wrote on the topic of heartworm disease and heartworm prevention. In his piece, he mentioned that heartworm prevention may be optional for your cat. While that may be true in some parts of the world, it certainly isn't for the Southeastern United States. We fully realize that Your Pet's Doctor is distributed worldwide, but our home base is on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We don't want any cats getting heartworms, here or anywhere else, either. Let's look at the reasons in favor of using monthly heartworm preventive for your kitty: • Heartworm disease is deadly in cats. It is a very treatable disease in dogs, but there is no treatment for cats, only prevention.
