| FBI arrests three over Coca Cola recipe scam
ELEANOR HALL: To a modern day spy story of treachery, a top-secret formula and a sticky brown syrup.
The FBI says it's arrested three people who were trying to sell the secret recipe for Coca-Cola to the company's arch-rival, Pepsi, for $2 million.
It's alleged that the attempted industrial espionage by a Coca-Cola employee only came undone because there's honour among soft drink makers, as Conor Duffy reports.

Harvest-Crisp Cake: Capture taste of local apples in an apple cider ...
Sweet and tangy juices fill my mouth, sending my taste buds into orbit. The loud crunch, caused by the release of incredible amounts of pressure my teeth have caused by puncturing the fruit's flesh, only adds to my enjoyment.There are more than 6,000 apple varieties in the world. But until just a few years ago, only three were generally available in markets year-round: Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Granny Smith.Today, we are blessed with many more commercial varieties to choose from. But it's the local apples that present us with a huge range of flavors, textures, colors and aromas. .

The former world No. 3 quit the tour when he was struggling with his serve and confidence. Problems with his right shoulder sidelined him until the end of last year when he played in two challengers. He has a protected ranking of 105, good for nine months or eight tournaments. "I have never thought of retirement," Coria said. "While I had lost my desire to play, I can tell you now that I feel in good rhythm and confident." "I played very few tournaments last year and that of course takes its toll, but little by little I'm recovering my fitness," he said. Fellow Argentine Gaudio, however, said he was closer to retirement after losing to Santiago Ventura of Spain 6-3, 6-0. Gaudio, the winner three years ago at this Pacific Ocean resort, hasn't won on tour since last May at the French Open.
On These Planes, In-Flight Service Is Super-Secret
ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. -- Senior Airman Amanda Fauci's job is so sensitive she has nearly the same security clearance as a Secret Service agent. She sometimes goes on weeks-long classified assignments. But on a recent mission, the 23-year-old was struggling. Her Texas-shaped sugar cookies made from prepared dough "blew up," she says. She ended up making a new batch from scratch at home that night. The next day, she served them to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, former President George H.W. Bush and other VIPs aboard a Boeing 757 bound for College Station, Texas. .
Fava Beans: Great For Hormone Replacement With Anti-Cancer Potential
(NewsTarget) Two years ago this month a good friend of ours joined us for a humble beginning of our natural nutrition and whole food preparation classes. She was one of those students who just took everything and ran with it. She lost about 15 pounds, her bowels started moving better and she looked ten years younger.
For all of this, she complained that she was being driven crazy with hot flashes and did not want to go on hormone therapy. She decided to come see me professionally.
I spoke with her and quizzed her about her diet. She had been following our health program exactly. I figured that she just needed an infusion of plant based hormones.
I explained to her that plant hormones are the best protection in the world. They are large, weak structures that will fill up all the hormone binding sites and keep them satisfied as needed without ever reaching toxic strength.
