Donkey cheese is irresistible, or at least articles about it are. A week ago, several British newspapers, notably The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mail, reported that Novak Djokovic, the top-ranked men's tennis player, had bought the entire world supply of pule, a Serbian donkey cheese, for his restaurants.
The cheese, produced on a lone farm on Zasavica, a nature reserve west of Belgrade, had already made a small splash for its exorbitant price. At 1,000 euros per kilo, or about $600 per pound, it seemed to have inched past moose cheese to top the list of the world's most expensive cheeses.
Now it was poised for stardom, lofted skyward by Mr. Djokovic's golden racket. On Sunday, it made an appearance on the NPR quiz show, "Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me!" It was offered as the one true story among three wildly improbably choices.
One problem. Mr. Djokovic has never bought so much as a gram of pule.
Responding to a series of e-mail questions about pule, Jovan Vukadinovic, a manager at Zasavica, concluded with a rather deflating piece of information. "Novak Djokovic never bought our cheese," he wrote.

AJR plaque to honour Sir Ludwig Guttmann
We were delighted to unveil a plaque dedicated to Sir Ludwig Guttmann at a special event at the National Spinal Injuries Centre (NSIC) part of Stoke Mandeville hospital on Thursday 24 October.
Sir Ludwig is now widely known as the founder of the Paralympics having fled Nazi Germany and found refuge in Britain in March 1939. His escape was made possible by the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning (now succeeded by the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics) which was responsible in the 1930s for finding posts for a large number of refugee academics and scientists, mostly Jewish, who had been dismissed from their positions by the Nazis.
Sir Ludwig was an active and longstanding member of the AJR, serving on its Board for over 25 years. He gave generously of his expert advice to the AJR on questions relating to the homes for elderly refugees that it administered jointly with the Central British Fund.
The NSIC is the oldest, and one of the largest spinal injuries centres in the world and was founded by Sir Ludwig at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, in 1944 to treat servicemen who had sustained spinal cord injuries in World War II. Professor Guttmann introduced a new approach to the way paraplegic, and later tetraplegic, patients were treated. Sport was a vital ingredient in Professor Guttmann's rehabilitation programme and it was in 1948, in the grounds of Stoke Mandeville Hospital, that he organised a competition for 16 disabled men and women to coincide with the opening ceremony of the 1948 Olympic Games in London. The annual Stoke Mandeville Games became an international event in 1952 and in 1960 the inaugural Paralympic Games were held in Rome, immediately after the Olympic Games.
Frank Harding, a Trustee of the AJR, said: "It gives us great pleasure to honour the life of Sir Ludwig Guttmann whose work and legacy have been rightly celebrated and have had an enormous impact on the lives of many hundreds of individuals in the United Kingdom and on British society, and of many thousands of athletes across the world."
Sally Loring, assistant chief operating officer of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, said: "We are really excited about having this plaque at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. We are tremendously proud of Professor Guttmann's work at the Hospital, in both establishing our National Spinal Injuries Centre and his unique approach to rehabilitation which led to the creation of the Paralympic movement. We hope that, as well as providing an important reminder of his work, the plaque will be an inspiration to our staff and spinal patients."
Guests at the unveiling also heard from Hannah Peters, who as well as reflecting on her own personal connection, spoke of her grandfather's legacy and the enormous success of the Paralympic Games last summer.
Pictured at the unveiling are representatives from Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics (CARA), Poppa Guttmann Trust, Guttmann family members and the AJR.
Through our plaque scheme, the AJR is establishing permanent memorials to some of the most prominent Jewish émigrés who fled Nazi oppression and found refuge in Britain as well as places and buildings with a strong connection to the Jewish refugees. The first AJR plaque, to honour the life of Sir Hans Krebs, was unveiled at the Department of Biochemistry in Oxford in May 2013 and the next plaque to be unveiled, on Tuesday 19 November, will be in honour of The Cosmo, a famous restaurant and meeting place for the refugees.

|I was disappointed in the color. I ordered these because I love shiny metallic colors and Pentel has such limited variety. It is definitely not a shiny metallic ink. It is a matte finish that does not reflect light. They work well: nice smooth flow without any skipping. I'm going to gift them to a coworker and go back to Pentel.

Create her in a memory she'll always cherish. A loving couple is intertwined into a sterling silver cross for a pendant that celebrates faith in the foundation of a family. Delicate and unique, necklace features a ribbon-like cross crafted from sterling silver that shines with its own light. Pendant measures approximately 1-1/4" long x 7/8" wide; sterling box chain measures 18" long and has a spring ring clasp. Made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

You have a unique medical history. Therefore, it is essential to talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and/or experience with rheumatoid arthritis. By talking openly and regularly with your doctor, you can take an active role in your care.
General Tips for Gathering Information
Here are some tips that will make it easier for you to talk to your doctor:
- Bring someone else with you. It helps to have another person hear what is said and ask questions you may not have thought of.
- Write out your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and ask for clarification if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask your questions or to ask for more information about what you are discussing. You have a right to know.
Specific Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- Do my symptoms suggest that I have rheumatoid arthritis?
- Could these symptoms be caused by any other joint diseases?
- Do you feel that I need any other diagnostic tests?
- What should I tell my children about their risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis?
- When can I expect to feel improvement from the treatment?
- What comfort measures (such as heat or cold) might be helpful?
- What medications can I take to reduce pain and improve my ability to function normally?
- What side effects do these medications have?
- Is my rheumatoid arthritis so advanced that I should consider any surgical procedures?
- Are there any alternative or complementary therapies that may help me?
- What kinds of exercise should I do to increase my muscle strength?
- Are there exercises or athletic activities that I should avoid because they overly stress my joints?
- Could my occupation be contributing to my joint disease and symptoms?
- How much rest should I get?
- Are there any assistive devices that might help me continue to function independently?
- What is the usual progression of rheumatoid arthritis?
- How can I slow or halt the progression of rheumatoid arthritis?
- Do I have to give up or change any of my activities now or in the future?

Metabolic Syndrome—also known as "Syndrome X"—is a set of risk factors including:
- A waist circumference more than 40" in men and more than 35" in women
- Serum triglycerides of 150 mg/dL or above
- HDL cholesterol of 40 mg/dL or lower in men and 50 mg/dL or lower in women
- Fasting blood glucose levels of 110 mg/dL or above
- Blood pressure readings of 130/85 or higher
If you have a few or all of these concerns, act now to protect and support your future health. My Metabolic Essentials is a proprietary formula of powerful nutrients proven to combat each risk factor of Metabolic Syndrome. It features GreenSelect Phytosome, a remarkable new green tea extract for impressive weight loss results that's three times more bioavailable than ordinary green tea extracts, plus stays in your bloodstream far longer. Clinical study subjects lost up to 30 pounds in 90 days using this nutrient along with a calorie-restricted diet. Even better, weight loss actually accelerated after day 45 (when most other weight loss efforts hit a wall). The same research found that subjects had a significant reduction in serum triglyceride levels.
A second powerful ingredient called AmlaMax™ is a patented, carefully standardized extract of Emblica officinalis fruit, also known as Indian Gooseberry. This remarkable nutrient has been shown to not only increase levels of helpful HDL cholesterol by up to 16%, but also lower C-reactive protein levels, offering significant cardiovascular benefits. I also included the herb Coccinia indica, which has been shown in clinical trials to reduce blood glucose levels by up to 18.5%, making it the perfect nutrient to address early blood sugar concerns. And he added to that 400 IU of vitamin D, which plays an important role in helping your body process glucose. To round out this comprehensive formula, Metabolic Essentials includes magnesium, which I have recommended for decades to promote healthy blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health. Metabolic Essentials is the first and only nutrient formula to specifically target every risk factor of Metabolic Syndrome to help ensure your long-term good health.
Metabolic Essentials:
- Help you lose up to 30 pounds in 90 days (along with a healthy diet and exercise)
- Reduces body fat percentage
- Raises HDL cholesterol levels
- Lowers serum triglyceride levels
- Keeps your blood sugar in check
- Maintains healthy blood pressure

work By Adam on 4/23/2013Adam would recommend this product to a friendworks perfect for the smaller tank in my office.
Waste! By Brandon on 11/26/2012Brandon wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI have had this for less than a week and I am in a hotel for upwards of 7 months with a 16 gal reef set up...system was easy to set up, but even as I started using it the unit barely put out 5g in 8 hrs. Might be the water pressure, but since I have it hooked up to the sink I do not believe that is the issue and after not even getting 15g out of the unit it has slowed to about 5 drops every 30seconds.
well it aint going good By DiveDr on 6/30/2012DiveDr wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI have had this unit for about a month. I have made approximately 25 gallons of reverse osmosis water. The quality of the water unit produces is relatively good. The secondary filter (chemical filter K2520 SS) is completely clogged. I live in New York City and our tap water is actually considered quite good. It is soft water, not particularly hard in any way. Although when the filters are not fouled the unit functions very well and produces 75 gallons of water per day as advertised in a short period of time I have experienced a decreased output to 1 gallon of water per day. If I need to replace filters every 25 gallons of water produced the total cost of ownership of this reverse osmosis system is actually extremely high. I have contacted customer service and hope they will assist in this regard and this is just a fluke. Absent a response my preliminary opinion is not very good with respect to overall performance of the unit. In good faith I could not recommend it to a friend.
I love this unit By Aaron on 6/27/2012Aaron would recommend this product to a friendI love this unit! I mounted it in my laundry room and its completely out of the way. I tested my tap water at 200 ppm tds, after filtering i get readings of less than 5ppm. Can't go wrong here.
Great for small water needs! By Reno on 6/19/2012Reno would recommend this product to a friendThis thing is awesome! It's exactly what I need! The only downfall to it is that you need a $3 faucet adapter. Instructions are somewhat vague but It's color coded making install a snap!
Good at first, but slows down By JT on 6/15/2012JT wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI bought this unit 5 months ago. Very easy to set up! It was pumping out 5 gallons in 3 hours. Now it is taking over 6 hours to get 5 gallons. I have disconnected the flow restricter and let it run for a while to clean it out. That did not help. Maybe I need new filters, but it is only 5 months old and I have only been making less than 15 gallons a week since I bought it.
Overall By DiveDr on 6/6/2012DiveDr wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI received the unit with the first stage reversed and had to correct this. The faucet adapters supplied with the unit do not fit the mostr common American Standard or Delta fixtures. A 15/16 conversion adapter is needed in order to use the unit. This item costs about $1.99 USD at your local hardware or plumbing supply provided it is in stock. I would think since this is a very common fitting size in the US the unit would ship with this adapter. The instructions supplied with the unit are sparse. As this is a portable unit one would think membrane storag instructions would be included, they are not. I have requested recommendations in this regard. The unit functions well, we have 60ppm Phosphate in our tap supply. The unit removed 100% of this as well as all the copper which is at about 0.25PPM off the tap. Overall a good unit for the price but attention to the fittings with which the unit ships and better documentation would be nice.
Great Portable RO unit By Tyler on 4/25/2012Tyler would recommend this product to a friendthis RO unit is great if you have to take it with you somewhere. Small in size compared to standard RO units but does just as good of a job. I recommend adding a RO flush system to prolong the membrane.
Great RO unit for a starter By Ryan on 3/29/2012Ryan would recommend this product to a friendThis unit was perfect for me when I was just starting out. while it didn't get me to 0TDS it did get me from 100+ coming in to near 5 so I'm pretty satified.
great product By AARON on 12/13/2011AARON would recommend this product to a friendI love the small size and ease of use for this product, thinking of adding a DI cannister to it

I'm trying to get a little action going, so what's your favorite trail to the summit of Mount Washington. Most importantly, why?
If I had ever climbed Huntington's I'd probably put that on top of the list. Since I haven't I think I'd have to go with Tuckerman's. I'm really shocked to see in the summer after a spring skiing trip. Its hard to believe I skied over all those cliffs on what was just a steep snow slope.
Lion's Head for the view into Tuck's is right up there especially when you can mix in an Alpine Garden traverse.

Mini military men invade Spencer museum
By Fayelessa Shropshire and Catherine Crawford
Spencer Doll and Toy Museum
When you think about the military, you don't necessarily think about miniatures or small scales.
However, for one group of men known as the Military Miniatures Society of South Carolina, that's all they think about.
"An assortment of men who share and celebrate diverse interests ranging from military history and war gaming miniatures to comparatively gigantic GI Joe figures and play sets meet once a month," said club president Dennis Fontana,
After years of displaying their miniatures at the S.C. State Museum, the club has found another place to share their treasures.
Two club members took on the task of collecting a variety of items to create two exhibits at the Spencer Doll and Toy Museum.
The purpose of the exhibits is to educate and promote history through miniatures.
Fontana has returned for the second time to share a variety of unique items from his personal collection. The vintage items carry a military theme.
Some of the new items featured in his display are a series of paper circus figures, which were made during World War II.
They were made from paper to conserve metals for the war efforts.
All of the toy soldiers featured in the 1879-1897 Afghanistan War exhibit were set up and hand painted by Jake Jacobs.
Jacobs is an active military serviceman who enjoys creating these figures and dioramas.
Recently, the club competed in the Atlanta Model Figure Club Show and won several awards.
These exhibits will be on display at the Spencer Doll and Toy Museum through the end of April.
The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
General admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $3 for children.

One of Microsoft's goals at the retail expo was to showcase how some of its new technologies and partner solutions can help retailers take their business to the next level. Perhaps the most important product introduction was for Microsoft Dynamics for Retail -- a software-based solution encompassing customer relationship management (CRM), customer engagement management (CEM), and a host of related functions, from financial and forecasting to store operations, supply chain management, and more.
Big Show, Big Challenge
The NRF expo, which is positioned as "Retail's BIG Show," ran from January 13-16th at New York's Javits Convention Center, with more than 27,000 retail professionals in attendance, including CEOs, small business owners, and a full range of marketing staffers.
One key theme of the show was dubbed "socialnomics" -- short for social economics and focused on transforming the way retailers need to do business in order to be profitable in today's social, mobile, digital world.
Brendan O'Meara, Microsoft's managing director for Worldwide Retail Sector, addressed the topic, emphasizing that a customer-centric approach is critical to making the sale these days. Why? Because today's 24/7 mobile and digital lifestyle has put customers in the driver's seat. Customers are armed with more information, more options and more expectations.
"Retailers have to deliver very personal, very relevant experiences to their customers in order to differentiate themselves from the crowd," O'Meara said.
Dynamics for Retail
As a highlight of their presentation, Microsoft execs announced the availability of Microsoft Dynamics for Retail, and demonstrated how it can help retailers reduce complexity.
Microsoft Dynamics for Retail is an end-to-end solution designed to help a retailer manage every aspect of the business, from store operations and supply chain to merchandising, call centers and financials, explained Michael Griffiths, who serves as global product industry director for Microsoft Business Solutions.
The software-based solution promises to help businesses connect better with customers by letting them buy, pick up, return, or exchange items on their own terms. Microsoft said Dynamics for Retail also helps empower salespeople and service reps by delivering relevant, real-time information as they interact with customers.
Demonstrating Dynamics
NRF attendees had a chance to see a Lotus Formula One race car parked at the booth, representing the breadth of capabilities Microsoft can provide. Lotus turned to Microsoft to help fine tune every aspect of its business, from managing the design, manufacturing, and testing of up to 20,000 parts on each car and analyzing real time data at the racetrack to managing their merchandising and e-commerce.

How Bank of Hawaii hit the top
Loan growth, cheap deposits, cost control all help
- |
- Written by Steve Cocheo
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
Hawaii has long turned its wealth of sunshine into economic power through tourism, but for Peter Ho, it's also a source of literal power. Electricity comes dearly in the remote island state. Last year Bank of Hawaii installed 400 solar panels on its headquarters roof, and in time Ho, chairman, president, and CEO, says the company expects to save $50,000 annually on electrical bills.
Expense control, part of what put Bank of Hawaii at the top of the ABA BJ rankings, "is a way of life here," says Ho. "We don't do things with campaigns driven by consultants—that's just not our style."
Nor is Ho a believer in the much-vaunted efficiency ratio, as he's not sold on its significance. The bank just keeps looking for places to contain or cut costs. Asked for examples, Ho points to increasing use of virtualization in the $14.1 billion-assets company's IT department; technology upgrades in its branch system, Hawaii's largest; and space-saving reconfigurations of bank premises that enable the bank to turn excess footprint into commercial space to be leased to other businesses.
Bank of Hawaii's success comes from more than expense control. A combination of good loan growth (4.1% overall), especially in commercial real estate (14%) and C&I lending (10%); a relatively strong state economy, notably its tourism industry; a strong and inexpensive deposit base; and a firm conception of the company's niche all help produce repeated good results. The bank operates the state's largest ATM network—over 500—and with so many of them in tourist areas, the machines are a profit center. These, plus a resurgence of construction and a maturing capacity for tourism, which promises more growth, married to a conservative approach, put Bank of Hawaii on top.
Ultimately, Ho says the bank's performance hinges on its brand.
"We're the largest independent bank in Hawaii," he says. And Ho says the bank presents a community banking face to customers.
Sticking to a state-centric focus
Bank of Hawaii's finances are tied to its state more so now than once. The 117-year-old company went through a period of extensive international branching that began in the 1970s, in an effort to participate in the Pacific Rim financial boom. That was followed by retrenchment and elimination of that network in the wake of difficulties in Japan, and other factors. All of this occurred under earlier leadership.
"Prior to 2000 we were probably the world's smallest money center bank," says Ho. "But we've had a Hawaii-centric strategy for 14 years now. And we're going to stick to our strategy, here in the islands."
When Ho speaks of the bank's present and future, then, it's not surprising that he ties the state and the bank together more closely than some mainland banks do. Fortunately, Hawaii has been a good place to do banking business, in terms of credit, deposits, and other revenues.
Building and lending growth
A growing benefit to the bank is construction spending, and related borrowing, and Ho points out that an advantage is that multiple sources are feeding it. Just one is the building of a $5.5 billion transit project, an elevated train linking rural areas and the business district on Oahu. Both civic and private construction contribute.
"In the broader scope, we have pretty good legs here," says Ho. "And we will see an impact on almost every form of revenue generation that we have at the bank."
One such area is consumer borrowing—up 8%, not counting mortgages—where growth has been seen again as people continue to get over the shock of recession.
"I think the hibernation period is coming to an end," says Ho. "There is a bit of a lag between commercial activity and consumer loan activity." He notes that indirect auto loans, home equity credit lines, and installment lending are all picking up. The bank introduced a new credit card about a year ago and has over 13,000 new cardholders.
Bank of Hawaii is the largest home lender in the state, and expects to continue to be an active player in spite of the new mortgage rules. Ho said that initially the company estimated that 17% of its pipeline would fall outside of QM's scope, but that fewer loans appear to be affected because of provisions protecting non-QM lending that conforms to Fannie Mae rules.
The Hawaiian housing market tends to have a very different dynamic than mainland markets, according to Ho. There just isn't as much Hawaii as there is of other places.
"So the issue of scarcity in housing really plays into our housing supply," explains Ho. There are two results of this. First, Ho says, prices tend to be a bit more stable, over time, because there's ongoing demand. (In 2013, single-family home sales were up 4.6%, and condo sales were up by 11.8%. Prices for both rose by nearly 5%.) Currently, they continue to rise. Second, homeowners are more willing to make sacrifices to keep paying their mortgages, rather than lose a hard-to-get home. Ho says this tends to encourage a conservative mindset.
That mindset also applies to the state's lenders. Ho says subprime lending issues were not unknown in Hawaii, but, although all of the state's banking institutions make home loans, the only players making subprime mortgages were out-of-state lenders.
Tourism keeps things going
"We're selling a dream, an environment, nature, the Aloha spirit," says Ho. As a result, Hawaii continues to be a place where people around the world want to vacation, or buy property.
Though softening a trifle, tourism continues to be stable, according to Ho. Further, he says, there is much potential for Hawaii in Chinese tourists. Currently they represent only a small portion of the tourist trade, which is 50% from the U.S. and 50% from international sources. Ho says this small Chinese showing is due to such difficulties as obtaining tourist visas from the U.S. in China and insufficient airline capacity between Hawaii and China. However, he says, improvements are underway in both regards.
And should growth pick up, that will mean more to Hawaii than simply more spending. Ho explains that tourist facilities on Oahu—home to Honolulu and Waikiki Beach—generally see 80% occupancy. The state's other islands have been trending at around 70% occupancy. Significant growth would create the need for more facilities and create positive ripple effects.
However, says Ho, "our construction firms are running pretty chockablock today." Hawaii doesn't have as many construction workers as it did the last time tourist properties boomed. So, if and when demand increases, an influx of new workers will bring their own growth to the state.
Funding and margin advantages
Hawaii's banking industry enjoys a deposit-rich market that is generally cheaper for funding than mainland markets. And, Ho points out, Bank of Hawaii has the lowest funding cost in the state—about nine basis points.
"We're the core deposit market leader in the state," says Ho, with deposits coming about 50% from business accounts and 50% from consumer accounts.
This, and good loan growth, have supported strong margins. Ho says the bank's spread on loans is almost twice that on securities. With lending on the upswing, and the bank's loan-to-deposit ratio standing at just 50%, says Ho, "the strategy is to reduce securities holdings and increase loans, and drive the margin up."

Cadel Evans endured three wheel changes in a 10-minute span of Sunday's stage of the Tour de France as the result of tacks being thrown onto the road. But the race's defending champion was brought back after a furious chase by the BMC Racing Team and a gesture of sportsmanship by the peloton.
'It Was Dangerous'
BMC Racing Team President Jim Ochowicz said the sabotage of the stage endangered a lot of people's lives. "I don't know if they'll find the person who did it," he said. "But it was pretty stupid and it was dangerous. Several riders crashed as a result of the tacks." Evans's first flat tire occurred as the peloton was topping the final climb of the day, the Mur de Péguère, about 40 kilometers from the finish of the 191 km race. BMC Racing Team VIP coordinator Jacques Michaud, a Tour de France stage winner himself, made the first rear wheel change, using the Easton wheel of Amaël Moinard. Steve Cummings had actually reached Evans first, but his Continental tire had also been punctured by a tack. Two more flat tires on the way down the mountain were handled by the BMC Racing Team car, which caught up to Evans on the descent.
Wiggins Waited
Evans said he was disappointed the race fell victim to whomever spread the tacks on the road as a protest or to attract attention. "The main thing is that it happened to me three times and at crucial moments," he said. "Fortunately, we had George Hincapie, Michael Schär and Amaël – who went well beyond his limits today – along with Marcus Burghardt, and the chase was well organized." Race leader Bradley Wiggins said he told his Sky Procycling teammates to wait for Evans, who remains fourth overall, 3:19 off the race lead. "No one wants to benefit from someone's misfortune," Wiggins said. Evans arrived at the finish line in 16th place, with Wiggins and the rest of the peloton, 18:15 after the stage winner. BMC Racing Team's Tejay van Garderen, who did not get a flat tire, kept his lead in the best young rider competition and is seventh overall, 6:57 behind.
'We Didn't Panic'
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said he admired the composure of the team. "We didn't panic," he said. "We came back with the whole group and Sky was really honest and didn't attack in the front. They were really fair. I went to Sean Yates at the end of the race to say I really appreciated it." Far up the road from the chaos, BMC Racing Team's Philippe Gilbert was contesting the sprint for second after the breakaway group he was riding in splintered on the final climb. Luis Leon Sanchez (Rabobank) attacked the remnants of the break inside the final 12 km and soloed to the win. Gilbert was fourth to record his fourth top 10 finish of the three-week race.
