1 Trieste - Melbourne cooperation in advanced imaging with synchrotron radiation Kaulich B.1, Kiskinova M.1, Mancini L.1, Menk R.H.1, Rigon L.1,2, Tuniz C.2, Tromba G.1, Wilkins S.W.3, Zanini F.1 The International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste and Sincrotrone Trieste, together with the ARC Centre of Excellence in Coherent X-Ray Science based in Melbourne (involving Universities of Melbourne, Monash, Swinburne & La Trobe as well as the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, CSIRO), are establishing an International Consortium for Coherent Diffractive X-ray Imaging (I<CCDX>I) at ICTP. The Consortium will support and promote international cooperation in synergy to current ICTP programs, particularly those related to applied physics and condensed matter. It will focus on areas opening new frontiers of research in (1) Coherent diffractive imaging (CDI); (2) All methods of X-ray phase-contrast imaging and microscopy; (3) Related methods of tomography; (4) Full-field and related scanning X-ray microscopy (including soft X-ray); (5) 2D and 3D quantitative elemental mapping using X-ray fluorescence induced by a scanning micron size beam (μxrf); (6) Related fundamental physics aspects; (7) Related X-ray optics and instrument development such as detectors; (8) Associated software development and sharing; (9) Access to major imaging facilities and data processing facilities via remote access. Absorption contrast has been the principal X-ray imaging mode for over 100 years, and only recently has considerable progress been made in developing and implementing novel methods of X-ray imaging based on phase contrast, thanks to the high brightness and high level of coherence of 3rd generation synchrotron sources, the development of high performance microfocus sources and the development of novel x-ray detectors. Several phase-sensitive imaging approaches have been employed and tested in the last decades, such as differential phase and interference contrast, diffraction enhanced contrast, interferometric techniques, phase retrieval techniques etc. (Fitzgerald, 2000). Such techniques are expected to become greatly aided and expanded by the availability of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), also called 4th generation sources, in the near future. A simple case is afforded by the propagation-based phase-contrast imaging (PB-PCI), see Snigirev et al. 1995; Wilkins et al. 1996, and Cloetens et al If the source transverse spatial coherence is high enough, free-space propagation transforms the phase modulation of the transmitted beam into an amplitude modulation on the detector. According to the choice of the sample-to-detector distance d (typically ranging from a few centimeters up to a few meters) with respect to the size a of the feature to be identified, one may discriminate between two different regimes: the edge-detection regime (d << a2/λ, where λ is the X-ray wavelength) and the holography regime (d a2/λ) (Cloetens et al. 1997). The former enhances the edges of the sample, improving the image contrast and can benefit from application of phase retrieval techniques to give quantitative information (Nugent et al, 1996). Fig. 1 shows an example with a nylon air-bubble wrap imaged using; a) conventional (absorption-based) imaging and b) PB-PCI. In the holographic regime the edges are modulated so strongly that the image cannot be interpreted directly, but a precise map of the phase shift can be obtained by use of phase retrieval algorithms. Figure 1 Images of a nylon air bubble wrap in: a) conventional (absorption) X-ray imaging and b) phase contrast imaging, edge detection regime. The edge-enhancement in b) allows the visualization of details not visible in a). 12
2 So-called Diffraction Enhanced Imaging (DEI) or Analyzer-Based phase-contrast imaging (AB-PCI) is based on the use of a perfect crystal analyser crystal placed between the sample and the imaging detector (Ingal and Beliaevskaya 1995, Davis et al 1995, Chapman et al. 1997). The analyser acts as an angular filter, selectively accepting or rejecting the photons deviated in the sample at very small angles. Thus, in addition to X-ray absorption, also refraction and ultra-small angle scattering (which continuously evolves from refraction) may be exploited for imaging. Fig. 2 shows a set of three DEI images of a dandelion (taraxacum officinale). They were collected with three different analyzer settings, collecting mostly: a) very-small-angle scattering; b) refraction, and c) absorption and extinction (i.e. rejection of very small angle scattering) signal. Figure 2 Images of a dandelion (taraxacum officinale) collected with different analyzer settings (see text). Other phase contrast techniques applied for X-ray microscopy require special detectors and/or special tailoring optics (Kaulich et al. 2002; Wilhein et al. 2001; Di Fabrizio et al. 2003; Morrison et al. 1998). Fig. 3 shows one example of differential phase contrast. The images were taken with the TwinMic station at ELETTRA using a configured EMCCD camera, which allows simultaneous acquisition of brightfield images and a center of gravity differential phase contrast images (Kaulich et al. 2006). Figure 3: Marine planktonic diatom Coscinodiscus sp., encased in an intricately patterned pillbox-like skeleton of amorphous biosilicate. The ornate of the biosilicate shell consisting of a double hexagonal layer are observed. The brightfield image (left) and the differential phase contrast image (right) are acquired simultaneously. Photon energy: 718 ev. Dwell time per pixel: 80 ms. In X-ray computed micro-tomography (µ-ct) the sample is rotated in front of the detector, and several different projections are acquired. A 3D image is then reconstructed by back-projecting the profiles collected in this way with specific mathematical recipes. As for planar imaging, µ-ct can be performed both in absorption or phase-sensitive modality (in edge detection or in holography regime), depending on the sample-to-detector distance d. An example of phase sensitive µ-ct (edge detection regime) of polystyrene can be seen in figure 4. Of note is that both macro- and micro-structures are visualized, even if the absorption of polystyrene is negligible, due to edge enhancement. 13

Right: reconstruction from 199 slices. Moreover, three-dimensional elemental imaging can be obtained by combining microtomography with x-ray fluorescence induced by a scanning micron size beam (μxrf) (Tuniz et al. 1990). An example is given in figure 5, where the Uranium (U) and Plutonium (Pu) distributions in a hot particle are mapped. Figure 5 Example of 3D elemental imaging using XRF μct. (courtesy of D. Wegrzynek, A. Markowicz, E. Chinea-Cano, S. Bamford, M. Bogovac, Seibersdorf IAEA Laboratories). The main advantages of phase-sensitive X-ray imaging techniques are basically three : (i) new and improved contrast, (ii) the applied X-ray dose may be reduced dramatically, and (iii) the exposure time (and hence radiation damage) is less, because the phase shift cross-section dominates the absorption cross-section (Sayre et al. 1995). One exciting new area of activity in phase-sensitive X-ray imaging which is making rapid progress is that of Coherent Diffractive Imaging and which relies on the inversion of far-field (diffraction) data to obtain high spatial resolution structural information on non-periodic objects. The original idea and approach was due to Sayre (1980). More recently important new demonstrations of this technique have been obtained e.g. by Miao et al (1999), Shapiro et al (2005) and Quiney et al (2006). The technique of CDI offers the opportunity for very high spatial resolution structure determination of non-periodic objects, not limited by the need for 14
4 corresponding high resolution X-ray optics. A major goal of various consortia recently established around the world, including those linked to the I<CCDX>I is to push these techniques to molecular and ultimately atomic resolution. Key frontier challenges here are problems such as the determination of the structure of membrane proteins in their functional form in situ. Several areas of materials science, medicine, biology, environmental science, food science, geology, archaeology etc have already benefited from applying phase contrast imaging techniques. At ELETTRA, important results have been obtained studying shape memory alloys (Besseghini et al. 2004), highperformance sail fabrics (Tesei et al. 2005a), endodontic obturations (Contardo et al. 2005), oral implants (Tesei et al. 2005b), bone and cartilage in healthy and arthritic joints (Majumdar et al. 2004, Muehleman et al. 2004), mammography (Arfelli et al. 2000), anatomy and embryology of insects (Hönnicke et al. 2005), metal intake in plants (Kaiser et al. 2005), bread porous structure (Falcone et al. 2004), detection of microdiamonds in kimberlitic rocks (Schena et al. 2005), environmental marine and soil samples (Kaulich et al. 2006, Thieme et al. 2006), archaeological glasses (Gerlach et al. 2003) and other archeometric investigations (Zanini et al 2006). In mid-march 2006, the first clinical mammography studies using SR and involving phase-contrast were carried out at the SYRMEP beamline at ELETTRA. The ICCDXI aims at fostering international cooperation and understanding in the area, for instance promoting image processing software development, evaluation and sharing among members; supporting research into fundamental aspects of CDI and on advanced X-ray detectors and X-ray optics; pursuing funding opportunities in connection with consortium members who are eligible and wish to combine together on such proposals; running conferences, workshops and training courses. Moreover, the Consortium will especially promote and support opportunities for the involvement of people from developing countries, both via remote access to advanced X-ray imaging techniques and facilities, and supporting them for extended study visits at ICTP. Scientists from Developing Countries will also benefit through schools and courses in advanced imaging, including experimental activities at the ICTP Laboratory and at ELETTRA. In particular, India and Brazil are developing capabilities in advanced imaging with synchrotron radiation and, with the support of the proposed Consortium, could act as regional resource centres for less developed countries. An imaging beamline is also being planned for SESAME, the synchrotron facility being built in Jordan with the support of UNESCO and of the European Union. The second international meeting on this topic will be held in Trieste on May 20-22, focusing on the performance required from future imaging systems to solve critical problems in life and material sciences. New funding sources for this enterprise are being identified. References: Arfelli F. et al., Radiology, 215 (2000) Besseghini S. et al., Mat. Sci. Eng. A 378 (2004) 125 Chapman D. et al., Phys. Med.

Shia LaBeouf Sneaks Out for Lunch in L.A.
Despite insisting, "I am not famous anymore," Shia LaBeouf was snapped by paparazzi grabbing lunch in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 6).
The "Transformers" star wore a black t-shirt, brown pants, and a white baseball cap as he went about his business as usual.
After exhibiting bizarre behavior including wearing a paper bag over his head at the Berline Film Festival premiere of his new movie, "Nymphomaniac," many are wondering what's in store for the stateside premiere.
Scheduled for a New York opening at the Museum of Modern Art, reports say that due to a "scheduling conflict," Shia will not appear.

All.students at elementary schools must have their medical check up this week. Eyra just did hers yesterday right away after school. It's free.
We decided to have it at Kyunghee hospital because previously we had it at another hospital.
All were checked including blood test *which made Eyra cry* and urine test, eye test, visual, hearing, dental test. ....etc.
I think it's good...so good that I appreciated what the school had provided for the students!

Last Updated: 24/09/11 11:35am
Castleford's exciting teenage hooker Daryl Clark is among a host of new faces named in Scotland's squad for the forthcoming matches with Ireland and France.
Clark, who burst onto the Super League scene in spectacular fashion this year, is one of 16 uncapped players named in Steve McCormack's 28-man squad.
The newcomers include Clark's 18-year-old team-mate Ben Blackmore, Wakefield's Oxford-born centre Josh Griffin, Josh Barlow of Halifax and Swinton's former England Under-16s rugby union full-back Alex Hurst.

Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the Barclays Premier League as Manchester United host Aston Villa at Old Trafford to conclude the weekend's fixtures.
Following Manchester City's 3-1 defeat at Tottenham yesterday, the Red Devils can claim a record 20th top flight title if they defeat Paul Lambert's team, who are fighting to avoid relegation
Sir Alex Ferguson's outfit are also chasing a league double and a fifth consecutive victory over the West Midlands side having come from 2-0 down to win 3-2 last November at Villa Park.
Send me your thoughts on the action at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact me on Twitter @Ripinho.
22.06: Well that's it from me folks, thanks for following on a night when Manchester United have won a record 20th title - a big congratulations to them. Cheerio.
22.03: United striker Wayne Rooney spoke to Sky Sports after the game after winning his fifth league title:
'When you lose the title the way we did it wasn't a nice feeling, we've dug deep and worked together and tonight we've finished the job. This title is only going to help the young players in the squad. It's been a great season for me, you want to win trophies and we have done that.'
22.00: The players are still on the pitch celebrating in front of the crowd which is still quite full. Van Persie dodged questions on returning to Arsenal next weekend by the way as he simply said 'let me enjoy this moment.'
Record breakers: Manchester United's 20th league title is a top flight record
21.57: Hat-trick hero Robin van Persie spoke to Sky Sports after the game:
'I'm very happy its weird you know, I had to wait so long for the first title. It's fantastic, it's a championship for everyone at the club. Its a 20th title and well deserved.'
and on where he ranks that magnificent second goal:
'One of the best, but today it didn't matter. It was a great ball from Wayne, incredible. I needed a bit of luck but it's great.'
21.54: The flags are unveiled proclaiming United as champions as a scoreboard inside the ground reads out '#champions2013'. Even Fred the Red is getting involved with the on-pitch party now as Ferguson smiles and claps in front of the crowd.
21.51: Let the celebrations begin! The players on the pitch are quickly joined by substitutes and other squad players, as the team jump up and down in front of their home fans, who are anything but subdued now as they chant 'cham-pee-o-nees.'
Kings: Manchester United celebrate winning the title
Full-time: Manchester United 3-0 Aston Villa
90min: There will be just two minutes of time added on.
'Not subdued. Everyone is holding their breath...' (see 83mins)
Lucy Cradduck, Australia via email
87min: El Ahmadi strikes the set-piece but his dipping effort is easily caught by De Gea.
Missed opportunity: Shinji Kagawa fires off target for Manchester United
86min: Villa look the most likely to score at this stage though as Phil Jones' trip concedes a free-kick to the left of goal and 25 yards out.
83min: Just under 10 minutes left now and United are closing in on that 20th title. The atmosphere seems strangely subdued inside the ground for the time being though - maybe the home fans have just become used to this sort of thing.
80min: As Welbeck receives treatment on his foot following a tangle with Ashley Westwood, Villa make a second change to send Ciaran Clark on for Bennett.
Parading the touchline: Both managers were active in guiding their teams in the second half
77min: What a miss! Valencia shows superior body strength against the Villa defence to control the ball inside the box before he cuts the ball back for Kagawa.
The midfielder does well to feint and create a space to shoot from, but he follows up by blazing off target.
76min: Cracking effort from El Ahmadi! Unmarked and not closed down 25 yards from goal, the substitute arrows a dipping drive towards the top corner that De Gea does well to back-pedal and tip over the crossbar.
75min: From Sportsmail's Neil Ashton at Old Trafford:
Always a bad sign when a team is 3-0 down and their own fans chant "Ole" every time a player gets a touch, which has been rare for Villa.
What goes up... Aston Villa's Nathan Baker leaps for a challenge with United's Shinji Kagawa
72min: First change for United as Rooney is given a big ovation from the home crowd before he is replaced by Danny Welbeck.
71min: Chance for United. Rooney's corner falls for Evans at his feet, and the defender's low snap shot across the target is cleared off the line by a defender.
70min: Apart from that Rooney shot, it's been a half that Villa have arguably edged but we will have a brief stoppage as Bennett receives treatment following an innocent clash with Rafael.
Warming up: United's Javier Hernandez waves to the crowd at Old Trafford
68min: 'The debate on where this United team ranks is down to one man: RVP. SAF needs to send over a nice bottle to Wenger for giving him the 20th title when he sold Van Persie to him. Nice one Arsenal.'
JP, Toronto via email
65min: Speaking of hat-tricks, Giggs is on one for assists as he lays the ball back for Rooney, before he cannons a drive which is blocked by the Villa defenders.
62min: From InfostradaLive:
Van Persie's hat-trick within 33 minutes was the fastest in the PL since Yakubu Aiyegbeni for Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough within 31 minutes (15 May 2004) 5-1.
Getting shirty: Villa's Joe Bennett pulls on the shirt of United's Rafael
59min: United of course are still hoping to break records this season. If they win tonight, they would need just three wins from their final four games to reach a record 30 victories, while they can also beat the points record of 95, with 96 points still a possibility if they win all their games.
Both are held by Chelsea from the 2004/05 season.
56min: It's still Villa seeing more of the ball and even with a 20th title in sight, Ferguson looks furious on the touchline as he barks orders at his side to up their game.
53min: This is another promising spell for Villa. El Ahmadi shows good body strength to win the ball, before Benteke collects a pass and forces a low diving save from De Gea.
Still got it: United's veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs attempts to out-run Villa's Matthew Lowton
50min: This really is the Van Persie show. From that corner, Nathan Baker nods across goal for Weimann whose header beats De Gea, only for Van Persie to head clear off the line. One-man team...
49min: It's low pressure stuff now for David De Gea but this isn't his finest moment as he flaps at a Weimann cross before United turn the ball behind for a corner.
48min: Another fast start from United as they win successive corners, but from the second set-piece a low cross turned is directed behind by Rooney.
Job half done: Sir Alex Ferguson applauds at Old Trafford
Second-half: One change for Villa as Karim El Ahmadi replaces N'Zogbia. Of course the other big winners so far are QPR and Reading who are now unlikely to be relegated tonight as we restart at Old Trafford.
20.55: The only comfort for Villa now is that with the game won, United may not be that hungry to fire home more goals in the second half.
The last thing Villa need confidence wise is another thrashing following the Chelsea hammering and I'm starting to wonder if Lambert will be regretting fielding such an attacking line-up.
20.50: So United are cruising to a 20th title, Villa are doing themselves no favours in the goal difference stakes and Van Persie now leads the Premier League goal scoring charts with 24 - one ahead of Luis Suarez.
Calling the shots: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert looks on from the touchline
Half-time: Manchester United 3-0 Aston Villa
45min: As I type, Ron Vlaar's shot is still travelling out of Old Trafford and into orbit as the defender skies his shot from 35 yards. There will be two added minutes.
American dream: Manchester United's owners, the Glazers, look on from inside Old Trafford
42min: Villa fans to their credit are singing 'we're gonna win 4-3', as Benteke fires wide from outside of the box.
39min: United are out of sight in all forms this evening, but Villa still have a damage limitations job to do. If Lambert's team concede one more goal they will have the worst goal difference in the division - it could prove crucial come the end of the season.
36min: From OptaJoe:
11 - The five players to have more PL hat-tricks than RVP are Shearer (11), Fowler (9), Owen (8), Henry (8) & Rooney (6). Stellar.
Treble top: Robin van Persie sealed his hat-trick for Manchester United in the 33rd minute
33min: GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 3-0 Aston Villa
What a night for Robin van Persie. The striker is about to win his first Premier League title but he has just scored his fifth Premier League hat-trick. The Dutchman collects a pass from Giggs inside the box, before getting the ball out of his feet and slotting into the corner.
31min: This is much better in fact from Villa as they win a corner after N'Zogbia's shot across goal is blocked behind by Evans - the defender not struggling that much it seems.
Under pressure: Agbonlahor looks to steal the ball off Rafael
29min: Shouts of 'Rio' from the home crowd as Ferdinand goes for a warm up down the touchline. It looks like Jonny Evans is struggling with an injury for Manchester United and the defender may have to come off.
28min: Free-kick to Aston Villa and a yellow card for Patrice Evra after the United left-back's blatant trip on Charles N'Zogbia in the centre-circle to stop a counter attack.
25min: Villa have at least settled since United's swashbuckling start, as Joe Bennett's cross is comfortably claimed by David De Gea.
Reach out: Villa's Joe Bennett (right) tackles United's Shinji Kagawa
22min: From Sportsmail's Neil Ashton at Old Trafford:
'Well well… I saw goal of the century when Adebayor scored at Villarreal in the Champions League for Arsenal in 2009… Van Persie's exceptional volley for United's second has just beaten it.'
19min: Much like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, Aston Villa are enjoying their best spell as they knock the ball around, with Ryan Giggs lucky to escape picking up a yellow card after a late foul.
16min: From InfostradaLive:
Wayne Rooney assisted on Van Persie's 2-0, his 10th assist in the PL this season. Only Juan Mata has more (12).
Stunning double: Robin van Persie volleyed home Manchester United's second goal
13min: GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 Aston Villa
It's Robin van Persie's 27th goal of the season but is this the best of the lot? Rooney plays a long pass from inside his own half and the very next touch from the edge of the box results in the Dutchman powerfully volleying across goal and into the corner. It's certainly a contender for goal of the season.
12min: What a start to this game, Villa so nearly level against the run of play as Christian Benteke curls over the bar first time from a through ball.
10min: Manchester United are tearing Villa apart here. Van Persie's knockdown from a Giggs cross is cleared before Rafael's low shot moments later cannons low off the post across goal.
Making a challenge: Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor steals the ball off Manchester United's Rafael
8min: Aston Villa have been on the back foot so far but they go close to creating a chance as Andreas Weimann's low cross is just too far in front of Gabriel Agbonlahor.
7min: From Sportsmail's Neil Ashton at Old Trafford:
'Atmosphere electric, United fans standing to sing "we shall not be moved".'
6min: From OptaJoe:
1 - Ryan Giggs has provided his first Premier League assist of the season (Opta definition); he managed eight in 2011-12. Timely.
That goal was timed at 82 seconds by the way.
4min: And so nearly 2-0! Valencia again is the creator as he swings a cross into the box, but Van Persie this time heads over.
Tap in: Robin van Persie opens the scoring for Manchester United
2min: GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 Aston Villa
United will look to overcome a few....oh wait they have scored. Wayne Rooney picks out Antonio Valencia with a superb diagonal ball (hint of offside there) before the midfielder cuts the ball back for Rafael.
The full-back swings a cross to the back post, which is played across goal by Ryan Giggs for Robin van Persie to tap home.
Kick-off: Manchester United get us going
Greetings: Villa boss Paul Lambert (left) and Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson meet before kick-off
19.58: Out come the players to a packed ground and plenty of camera flashes. Big screams of 'United' from the home crowd.
19.55: Both teams are in the tunnel as Villa join United shortly after the hosts emerge from the changing room. Brad Guzan and David De Gea exchange a handshake.
In preparation: Shinji Kagawa warms up for Manchester United before the game
19.52: From InfostradaLive:
'This is only the second time in the PL era that the league can be decided on a MONDAY after #MUFC won the title on Monday 2 May 1994.'
From OptaJoe:
56 - Brad Guzan has conceded more goals than any other Premier League goalkeeper this season. Backache.
19.49: Just over 10 minutes until kick-off, Old Trafford is filling up nicely now with the teams having completed their warm ups.
19.46: From InfostradaLive:
Wayne Rooney will play his 400th match for #MUFC in all competitions. He needs three goals to reach 200 for the club.
19.43: Full line-ups from Old Trafford:
Man Utd v Aston Villa
Man Utd: De Gea, Da Silva, Jones, Evans, Evra, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Rooney, Kagawa, van Persie. Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Hernandez, Nani, Welbeck, Cleverley, Buttner.
Aston Villa: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, Weimann, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Benteke. Subs: Given, Clark, El Ahmadi, Bent, Holman, Sylla, Bowery.
Referee: Anthony Taylor (Cheshire)
19.38: Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson spoke to Sky Sports before the game:
'Vidic is injured, Rio has a slight injury, it would have been a gamble to play him, if he comes on he will be okay.
'Vidic picked the injury up against West Ham. Jones and Evans are great young players. Give credit to your opponents which we will do tonight because they have lively players and are quick on the counter. Saying that we have the right players for the game.'
19.35: From Sportsmail's Neil Moxley:
Did Paul Lambert really want to play shoot-out at Old Trafford? Judging by his team, yes. Not sure I would be as bold but it's his neck.
19.32: That's a very attacking line-up from Aston Villa by the way with four forwards. I admire Paul Lambert and his positive attitude this evening but I hope Villa don't just become lambs to the slaughter.
Class of 2000: On this day 13 years ago, Manchester United won the Premier League title
19.27: From InfostradaLive:
ON THIS DAY 13 year ago, 22 April 2000, Manchester United won their 13th league title after a 3-1 win at Southampton.
19.24: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has told Sky Sports his side are not at Old Trafford to make up the numbers:
'We are not here just to make up the numbers. United going for the league or not, this was always going to be tough.
'When you come here it's still a really tough place but we need the points just as much they do.
'We are always a threat but first we have to get the ball. We will give it a right good go, we are not here to sit back.'
Boost: Aston Villa see the return of Gabriel Agbonlahor
19.19: Manchester United are without first-choice central defenders Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic as they look to clinch a record 20th league title against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Instead, with Ferdinand on the bench, Sir Alex Ferguson has Phil Jones and Jonny Evans paired together, whilst Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney are both included in a team that also contains Shinji Kagawa.
Three points are enough for the hosts but the game is not without consequence for Villa as they remain in trouble at the bottom, just three points clear of the drop zone. Manager Paul Lambert brings back Gabriel Agbonlahor for Jordan Bowery.
19.14: Some interesting thoughts from Sir Alex Ferguson in his programme notes. The Manchester United boss has said:
'If we want to win the league we must nail our colours to the mast. That is my mantra now as we enter the last lap in the championship and it was something I felt was in great evidence when we played Stoke last weekend.
'There are five to play and three of them are at home. The points have to be won but we will do it because we are made of strong stuff.
'People talk about pressure. Certainly when you are on the brink of capturing another league title there is an expectation that can make you feel nervous.'
One last push: Sir Alex Ferguson has called for his team to nail their colours to the mast
19.09: Manchester United starting XI:
De Gea, Evans, Evra, Rafael, Jones, Valencia, Rooney, Giggs, Carrick, Van Persie, Kagawa.
19.06: Aston Villa starting XI:
Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, N'Zogbia, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke.
19.03: There are overcast scenes in Manchester, with plenty of supporters now outside the ground. Many seem keen to grab themselves some of the merchandise proclaiming a 20th title. It could be a party atmosphere inside the ground this evening.
Shock victory: Gabriel Agbonlahor's goal gifted Aston Villa a shock win at Manchester United in 2009
19.00: Just an hour until kick-off. The team news should be on the way very shortly as fans start to enter Old Tarfford.
18.57: Villa will also be keen to end an awful recent record against United. They have lost every game since drawing 2-2 at Villa Park in 2010 and haven't beaten the Red Devils since Gabriel Agbonlahor's strike secured a 1-0 at Old Trafford a year earlier.
18.52: There's a big incentive for Aston Villa to win tonight. As well as pulling six points clear of Wigan, the West Midlands side could go level on points with Sunderland, Stoke and Fulham.
Hammer blow: West Ham's win over Wigan on Saturday handed Villa a boost in the battle against relegation
18.47: Another amusing story coming out of Old Trafford this week concerns Van Persie and how the striker could stay at Old Trafford long after his playing career is over.
Talk around the clubs suggests the 29-year-old has the potential to be a competent future coach.
18.42: From OptaJoe:
7/0 - No PL team has conceded more penalties than Aston Villa this season (7), while Man Utd are the only side yet to concede one. Contrast.
18.39: Some breaking news this evening surrounding Luis Suarez and the biting incident from yesterday (you may have heard about it) is that the Liverpool striker has been charged by the FA, read more here.
Star man: Robin van Persie has excelled since joining from Arsenal last summer
18.34: From OptaJoe:
3 - Man Utd have lost their last three Premier League games on a Monday, after winning each of the previous nine. Unhappy.
18.31: Speaking of Van Persie, should United win the title tonight, Arsenal could give the former Gunners striker and his team-mates a guard of honour when they travel to the Emirates Stadium for their next game. It's sure to be a bitter feeling for many fans of the north London side should that happen.
18.28: One key player behind United's successful season is Robin van Persie. But what of his strike partner, Wayne Rooney?
It's not been the England star's greatest year having spent much of it in the Dutchman's shadow, as Sportsmail's Martin Samuel explains in his excellent column that Rooney could simply be burning out.
Party mood: United fans were keen to catch on to a possible 20th title win
18.23: Being honest, it's fair to say not many expect Aston Villa to spoil the party this evening but Paul Lambert's team have started to find confidence and form in the last few weeks.
They have lost just one of their last five games, and the 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool was a tad unfortunate for them.
Having said that, I remember saying a similar thing before they played Chelsea in December - a game they would then lose 8-0.
18.18: From Sportsmail's Alex Kay:
'Very odd that #mufc have to wait until the final home game of the season to receive the trophy. What possible reason?'
18.15: The good news just keeps coming for United it seems, as it is likely there will be a bidding war to be the club's kit supplier in the near future.
Current suppliers Nike will likely aim to extend their deal beyond 2015, but they are set to face competition from Liverpool's current manufactures Warrior, who are hoping to expand their exposure in the UK.
Record breakers: Manchester United will aim to win a record 20th league title when they face Aston Villa
18.10: For the record, Manchester United must win to secure a 20th title this evening. A draw would not be good enough. It's the same for the relegation scrap too as shared points at Old Trafford would mean QPR and Reading get a brief stay of execution.
18.05: Kick-off isn't until 8pm this evening but we are roughly just under an hour away until the official team news drops. The one big question mark surrounds Gabriel Agbonlahor, with Aston Villa desperate for the striker to shake off an injury.
18.00: It's not all about crowning champions tonight though. This is also a massive game concerning the foot of the table.
Should Aston Villa do the unthinkable and actually win this evening, it would relegate QPR and Reading into the Championship - while also piling the pressure on Wigan.
Time to celebrate: A merchandise seller parades flags and scarves to mark a 20th United title
17.55: Well, I say United could get both hands on the trophy. That's not strictly true...for tonight anyway. Should they complete the job against Villa there will be no trophy presentation this evening.
Instead the club would have to wait until May 12 when they take on Swansea at Old Trafford to be reunited with the Premier League trophy.
17.50: Fans are already flocking to Old Trafford, and if you thought I was jumping the gun by being so certain of a United title win - you should see some or the merchandise on offer outside of Old Trafford this evening. Pictures are on the way very shortly.
17.45: It's going to happen, it's just a case of where and when. Manchester United already have one hand on the Premier League trophy and tonight will provide them with the first opportunity in which they can make that two. Welcome to Sportsmail's live coverage as the Red Devils take on Aston Villa looking to seal a record 20th crown.
Comeback kings: Manchester United came from 2-0 to win 3-2 in the reverse fixture at Villa Park in November

When any of my friends have gotten hurt in the past, a very interesting story usually accompanied the explanation of their injury. One friend broke her leg while skiing, and another had three surgeries because of a six car pile up on the Interstate. When I got hurt, it was almost embarrassing to say it was because of playing Hacky Sack. The sack was in motion for over three minutes, and I did not want to be the cause of it going out of play. The only thing that resulted though was my visit to a San Diego chiropractor after I went to keep it in play and landed flat on my back.
I honestly thought I had broken something, However, I was able to get up with some help, and I was able to walk around too. While I was relieved over that, I was still in a lot of pain. I decided to visit a chiropractor instead of my regular doctor because a good bit of the pain was in my back. My friend who was in the car wreck told me that his chiropractor was really good, so I made an appointment for there.
I actually had to limp into the office, because I felt even worse the next day. I wished that I had taken them up on their offer to come in that day, but I had no idea I would feel as if a truck had run me over instead of a tiny Hacky Sack. The good news is that the chiropractor was able to help me a lot. I had several adjustments done, plus I was given a list of exercises to do at home to help stretch my muscles. The bad news is that my friends still tease me about it to this day, but even I have to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Uses of Palm Kernel Oil and Extraction of Palm Kernel Oil
Palm Kernel Oil is used to make so many of everyday house-hold products that includes Cosmetics, Food, Medicine, Fuel, and Industrial Products. While it's Interesting to realise that your Super Glue might have been a product of Palm Kernel Oil, it is it's military application to explosives that is most Fascinating!
Bottle of Vegetable Oil
Uses of Palm Kernel Oil
• Weapons and Warfare - Palm kernel oil was instrumental in making weapons during the second World War. The Palmitic Acid component was one of the two most important Ingredients of the Anti-personnel Weapon popularly known as Napalm. The name is a combination of Naphthenic Acid and Palmitic Acid.
• Food and Bakery - Palm Kernel Oil is known to confer special attractive physical features and Aroma to baked Bread. It is also used for making other baked Products like Cakes and Biscuits. Palm Kernel oil is semi-solid at room temperature, hence it is suitable for making Margarine, Chocolate and some other related food products. Palm Kernel oil is further used at home for frying and cooking different types of food like Plantain Chips, Potatoe, Stew, Fried Fish, Akara, Moin Moin, etc.
• Fuel and Biodiesel - Local Africans use palm kernel oil to fuel Native Lamps for lighting in rural communities that are not connected to Electricity. Palm Kernel oil can also be directly combined with Petro-diesel or used in making Biodiesel for diesel Engines.
• Cosmetics - Palm Kernel oil is a major Ingredient for large-scale production of various types of Soap, Detergents, Hair Creams, Body Creams, and all sort of Body cream and Pomades.
• Industrial Materials - So many industrially produced common house-hold materials are made with palm Kernel oil. Some of the Products includes: Candle, Glue, Printing Inks, Grease, Rub, Washing Powder, Pharmaceutical Products, and Rubber.
Extraction of Palm Kernel Oil
The following general Procedures are essential to obtaining Palm Kernel Oil (PKO): Cracking the Kernel, Separating out the Nuts, and extracting the Oil.
The story of the various applications of Palm Kernel Oil today, are somehow linked to it's early use by local African People. Small wonder, it is fair to also explain how they obtain the Oil from the Kernel.
Local African Palm Kernel Extraction - The entire process is manual. De-hulling is done by cracking the Kernel with Stones. Each Kernel is placed on a Stone while a smaller stone is used to hit it against the bigger stone. Once the Kernel is cracked, the Nut is picked up into a Bowl, the Stone is cleaned, and another Kernel is introduced for cracking.
Next the Kernel is place inside a Pot, Covered, and heated with fire made from firewood. Heating is followed by a dense fume with characteristic Aroma that usually spread to very far places. The heat allows the oil to drain out of the Nuts leaving a black fragile charcoal-like Mass. The dense black oil is separated and stored in small containers like Bottles. Palm Kernel Oil made in this way is used by local African people for Pomade and Medicine. .
Mechanical Extraction - This could be used for Small-scale or Large-scale extraction of Palm Kernel Oil. Palm Kernels are pre-treated by Magnetic Separators that removed metallic debris that might destroy the Device. Then the Kernels are sieved to remove sands, Stones and other Impurities before cracking with inbuilt swinging Hammers. The Nuts are separated from the shells after cracking and prepared by heating before squeezing with a Srew-Press (Ram-press). The Nut are screwed through a Metallic Path (with Pores) that decreases in Diameter to the exit so that the Oil is forced out of the side while the cake is collected at the Tip of the Screw.
Finally. PKO obtained via Mechanical means are usually filled with impurities that must be removed by further processing.

'Possible' Party
For the 12th year, New Orleans Medical Mission Services held its Mission Possible Gala to raise money for international health care. A chockablock evening, the 2014 gala at Generations Hall commenced with an hour-long patron party before the main merriment. Cocktails, dining, silent and live auctions, and entertainment by The Yat Pack filled the fundraiser bill.
Among the "MP" mastheaders were gala Chairwomen Kristie McConnell and Alice Dolese; auctioneers Rick Crozier, Dan Milham and Jim Ray; and Archbishop Gregory Aymond. Add to that roster, Monsignor Andrew Taormina, Joseph "Joe" Canizaro, former state Sen. Fritz and Barbara Windhorst, Ralph Senner, Herman and America Gacharna, Eric and Lisa Tanzberger, David and Karen Richards, Dieter and Julie Hugel, out-of-towners Kathryn and Elise Tanzberger and the Patrick Johnsons, and Drs. Warren Bourgeois and Usha Ramadhyani, R. Daniel Jacob, Thomas Kennedy and Robert Normand. The latter two were with their wives, Mary Kennedy and Sharon Normand.
During the patrons' hobnobbing, Archbishop Aymond gave the invocation before recognizing the NOMMS founders, the above Drs. Jacob, Kennedy and Normand, and the chaplain, Monsignor Taormina. Then came the awards. Dr. Kennedy hailed Michael Atwater and Tommy Coon as Volunteers of the Year awardees for their many and extensive volunteer activities, and Entergy representative Marcus Brown for the company's continuous support. It was tapped as the Outstanding Corporate Sponsor.
As the 500 guests milled about, they turned an attentive eye to a series of flags: American, State of Louisiana, NOMMS and those of Ecuador, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Haiti and Kenya, the countries that NOMMS serves. Displayed, too, were the poster-size pictures of smiling patients who've received major surgeries, treatment, and eye glasses during missions by NOMMS.
As for the appetite, Marie Hasney of Fleur de Lis New Orleans Cuisine/The Catering Connection coordinated delicious fare. Fleur de Lis provided, deep-fried turkey, beef brisket, grilled vegetables, and other specialty treats, while a series of restaurants and caterers (as well as Roman Candy) added further taste treats.
Thrills of the bidding kind were the domain of the live auction, which offered trips to resorts in Honduras and the Bahamas, along with a 10-day stay at a private residence in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Art and jewelry lured even more generosity from the "MP" posse. The silent portion claimed more than 300 attractions set up on four separate tables.
All the while, The Yat Pack showed where it was "at" musically, thanks to an eight-piece band with vocals playing hits from five decades.
Musical Momentum
For the 4th year, the annual St. Jude Benefit, dubbed The Sounds of New Orleans, packed The Mahalia Jackson Theater of Performing Arts. Once again, Gayle and Tom Benson were billed as the honorary chaircouple. Slated as performers were Allen Toussaint, Paul Sanchez, Michael Cervaris, John Boutte, Shamarr Allen, Mike "Soulman Baptiste & Mystecs, and Clark Knighten and the 4 x 4 Band, featuring Erica Falls. To keep everything in motion, Karen Swensen and Emile Gauchet stepped forward as masters of ceremonies.
On the eve of the gala concert, more than 100 people assembled for the patron party at the nearby Historic Basin Street Station, where the Clark Knighten music makers regaled the crowd and chefs Derrick Sayles and Glenn Turner fed the flock. Mini crawfish pies, gumbo, shrimp and eggplant dressing, turkey, pork and an assortment of salads and desserts filled the plates.
As guests entered, they were welcomed by Ed Perkins (joined by Julie Robinson), founder and chairman of The Sounds of New Orleans; the Rev. Anthony Rigoli, OMI, pastor of Our Lady of Guadeloupe Church; and Sister Beth Mouch, M.S.C., director of St. Jude Community Center.
Mingling, too, were Eric Arrant and Joe Cull, Cindy Gauchet with the above emcee Emile, Cheryl and Herbert Montalbano, Michie and Tom Bissell, Nakita and Tommie Vassel, Jill and Michael Floyd, and Sisters Joyce Hanks, Clarita Bourque, and Judy Gomila. And, Helena and Rich Boyer, Deborah Lavender and Beverley Castillo, Judith Plauche and Harold Patin, Carol Jacob and Walter Evans, Elizabeth Nice and Dan Civello, Kathy Sebastian and Karen Tipton, Darlene Adams and Stephen Klein, and dozens more.
They headed back to the area the next night for "Sounds," which was described by a frequent concert-goer as "spectacular." More than 15 standing ovations attested to that musical fact.
Leadership and Legacy
The Arthur Roger Gallery on Julia Street was the site for the night when the Norman C. Francis Leadership Institute held a celebratory reception. Twenty-five Fellows were recognized: Jason G. Burns Sr., Michael J. Busada, Ronald M. Carrere Jr., Amy Collins, Jaimme Angelle Collins, Lucas Diaz, Jay Christopher Dumas, Monica Edwards, Daniel Nathan Forman, Dr. Wendy A. Gaudin, Michael G. Griffin, Dr. Yu Jiang, Jacob Landry, Dr. Elizabeth A. Marcell, Nolan A. Marshall III, Todd O. McDonald, Brooke Minto, Minh Thanh Nguyen, Dana Peterson, Joe M. Ricks Jr., Jade Brown-Russell, Melissa Sawyer, Jeffrey Schwartz, Sharonda Williams and City Councilman Jason Williams. They were awarded certificates and custom-designed lapel pins by Adler's Fine Jewelry.
Taking the floor, Dr. Norman Francis and son Timothy made remarks about the legacy of the institute, which, in connection with Xavier University of Louisiana, was founded in 2012 to prepare professional men and women for civic engagement and social responsibility.
Spotted as well were institute board members state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, Kim Boyle, Norma Jane Sabiston, Marcus Brown, and Kenneth Carter, along with City Councilman Jared Brossett, Jefferson Parish President John Young, Judge Ivan Lemelle, pro tempore Judge Lynn Luker, Judge Karen Wells Roby, Ashley Francis (with the above Tim and their children, Sara and Olivia), Dr. Earl Cash, Laverne Saulny, Betsie Gambel, and gallery owner Arthur Roger.
Stunning Dale Chihuly glass creations displayed in the gallery riveted every eye.

Baked Peanut Butter Alpen Balls
Recipe by KVasanth
I've been trying to find various snack recipes involving peanut butter for my egg-allergic daughter, and continuously came across no-bake cookie type ones. I've never been a fan of no-bake cookies, and trying to get a toddler to eat one without causing an unholy mess is a near impossibility. So, I've experimented, and came up with these. They're wholesome and good tasting, filling but not too sweet. Granted, a peanut butter cookie will beat this hands down in a taste test, but these are so much better for you. Additionally, the quantities of ingredients are variable, with the aim to get the consistency of a very stiff cookie dough.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup muesli (I use Alpen)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon applesauce (very smooth, and the one I use is made with cornstarch)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (to taste)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 150C.
- Place all ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix thoroughly with your hands (really, only your hands will do- it's very difficult to get everything incorporated using a spoon).
- Scoop out a dollop and shape into a rough ball.
- Drop directly onto a foil lined pan (no need to grease the foil).
- Bake 15-20 minutes until golden.
