| Dogs kill sheep at college farm
INTRUDERS have allowed a pack of dogs to kill three sheep and ravage a number of chickens at the farm grounds of a college in Sydney's west. A number of unidentified people cut a hole in a wire fence and entered the agricultural premises on Saturday night (AEDT) at Bidwill, near Mount Druitt. They then cut the lock on a gate to a paddock that contained a ram and two pregnant ewes and let in an unknown number of dogs to attack and kill the sheep. The dogs then moved into another paddock and ravaged a number of chickens. Police were called to the scene about 2pm yesterday after staff attended the college to check on the animals. Officers conducted an investigation and spoke with people in the surrounding neighbourhood.

Don't expect Roy Williams to be traded
Don't believe the recent rumors you hear about Lions receiver Roy Williams getting traded. Oh, the Lions will entertain trade offers for Williams but, according to a source close to the situation, the Lions will only pull the trigger on a deal if there's overwhelming value for Detroit. Williams is on the trading block, but not the same block as defensive tackle Shaun Rogers. The Lions want to part with Rogers if they get decent value and there's more motivation for head coach Rod Marinelli to move on without Rogers. It's an entirely different situation with Williams, who has one more year on his contract. Williams is expected to leave Detroit via free agency in 2009 because, barring an unforeseen situation, he won't be tagged as the franchise player. The Lions will listen to offers now, but would prefer to get at least one more stellar year out of Williams.

Did you know... that bad nutrition can turn on viruses? Certain viruses can be activated to spread disease if you lack vitamin E and/or selenium, rich in whole grains, seafood, garlic and Brazil nuts, say U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers. Vitamin alert! A typical one-a-day vitamin-and-mineral pill boosted certain immune responses in older people by 64 percent, according to researchers at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. This should lower the risk of colds and other infections, they said.
