Data Gives Oncolytics a Short-term Pop
Paul is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It may really be time to short Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY). It was definitely time to short on Dec. 12, when the stock was briefly up 77% from the previous day's close price of $2.17. But that's easy to see in the rearview mirror -- the challenge going forward is waiting for another opportunity to sell it down the river.
The recent news on Calgary, Canada-based Oncolytics involved Reolysin, a cancer treatment in Phase III trials. Like a lot of biotechs, Oncolytics trumpets a "novel" approach. Yet Oncolytics isn't the only one working on treatments that use oncolytic viruses to combat cancer.
Oncolytic viruses can invade and essentially break down tumor cells. Biotechs have been toying with the concept for at least 50 years, and regulators in China approved Shanghai Sunway Biotech's H101 for certain cancers in 2005.
More recently, as in last week, Oncolytics announced positive trial results for Reolysin, a reovirus (Respiratory Enteric Orphan Virus) that can selectively break down cancer cells without harming healthy ones.
Note: Don't confuse Oncolytics with OncoSec . This is a huge trading error waiting to happen. OncoSec is also working on a novel way to attack cancer cells, but it's working on a technology called electroporation. This approach uses an electrical pulse to open pores in cancer cells to increase the efficacy of treatments such as chemotherapy. It remains to be seen if OncoSec will compete directly with Oncolytics by treating the same cancers in the same stages.
What is clear is the possibility of competition from a well-known name in the biotech world. Last year Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) acquired BioVex Group, then a private company developing an oncolytic cancer treatment called OncoVex, which is aimed at melanoma.
Amgen has said little about Oncovex since the acquisition, but the latest Amgen 10-Q filing describes a multi-milestone arrangement that could cause the company to pay up to $575 million to former BioVex shareholders. The filing says there are eight sales and regulatory milestones for melanoma treatment talimogene laherparepvec, currently in Phase III trials.
OncoSec has done clinical trials involving Melanoma, though it characterizes its recent Phase III news as involving platinum-refractory, taxane-naive head and neck cancers -- cancers that are resistant to certain kinds of chemotherapy. Obviously, if Amgen wanted to head in this direction with BioVex, Amgen has massive R&D and financial resources that could make life very hard for Oncolytics.
In any case, the recent Oncolytics release on two tests provides some basic numbers and p-values suggesting that the results are statistically significant.
Of the 105 total patients with evaluable metastatic tumors, 86% (n=50) of those in the test arm of the study exhibited tumor stabilization or shrinkage, compared with 67% of patients (n=55) in the control arm. This was statistically significant, with a p-value of 0.025.
The second analysis examined the magnitude of tumor response on a per patient basis using a comparison of percentage tumor shrinkage at six weeks in each patient with evaluable metastatic tumors. This analysis showed that REOLYSIN in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel was statistically significantly better than carboplatin and paclitaxel alone at stabilizing or shrinking metastatic tumors, yielding a p-value of 0.03.
You can slice and dice p-values all day, but it's unclear how these numbers translate into a 40% gain in one day. What is clear is that Oncolytics' stock has become quite volatile.
In the short term, this means the stock is worth watching for day traders who really enjoy white knuckle rides and the kind of risk that can lead to eating generic cat food in retirement.
It would be insane to short this stock as a long term play, though NASDAQ data indicates a consistent five or six million shares in short interest, versus 76 million shares outstanding. But for those who like to trade volatile stocks intraday and end the session flat, it's worth watching this one to see how it blows up on news -- and falls down after the hysteria passes.
In the longer term, it's worth watching for a couple of reasons. One, this Reolysin may be approved for commercialization. Then the company can start working on profitability -- the stock might actually go up and stay that way if the company achieved profitability. It's losing money hand over fist today. That may change, but not in the near future.

A young entrepreneur mom and wife looks you straight in the face in a recent anti-Mark Udall commercial and asks Udall to repeal Obamacare because it hurts families and small businesses. Mark Udall is running for re-election for U.S. senator for Colorado and his Republican opponent, Cory Gardner, wants to repeal Obamacare.

Eli Stokols of Denver's Fox 31 interviewed the spokesperson and concluded, "Bottom line: This is yet another example of a deceptive Republican attack on Obamacare falling apart under even casual scrutiny."

When you log onto Hotlist for the ducentillionth time today (what? it's a real number, look it up on Wikipedia), you may notice a few of these changes:
Earlier this month, we hoisted the majestic Hotlist Flag high above our downtown office. She has been battered by torrential rains, hurricane-force arctic winds, and the vicious elements of an unrelenting and unforgiving New York City winter (I may be exaggerating a little, but it sure ain't spring). However, she has persevered, waving exuberantly back at us and lifting our spirits every morning.
Pictured: The Hotlist Flag, in all her glory!
With the flu bug going around the office, the Hotlist Flag may end up the last one standing. Or hanging. Or whatever.
- Dylan Beynon, Businessman
Haydn Vestal had the extreme pleasure of celebrating the first Hotlist birthday of 2012. The team wanted to get the native Texan tickets to the Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun," but he said our angelic serenade of "Happy Birthday" already filled his heart to the brim with the joy of music.
Pictured: Gianni's thumb, Dylan, Haydn
Clearly, if there's one thing that excites Haydn more than back-end software development, it's chocolate cake. The senior software developer wouldn't reveal his birthday wish, but I think we all know it's for Gianni to stick to the weekly release schedule.

I was inspired by the forum topics and I decided to use the program, through by my own point of view.
Vision 'Vihrogon Motorcycle D1' Night Green is sort of high-way interceptor from one post-apocalyptic, fossil fuel based economy future.
I still have some problems with the modeling/rendering, but things are getting better with every new work.

O_O nice, first time i saw this program, i will try it
This project is unfinished and I prefer to leave it that way for the moment.
Hello. Nice Job.
Which render are you using ?
i already did 3 designs (2 cars, 1 motocycle) but without 3D rendering, the sketchup look doesn't look "finished".
Any advice for a free render easy to use ?
IDX Renditioner has a free version. It couldn't be simpler as it opens a render window straight from the toolbar. Great for quick quality renders.
[WIP]Vihrogon Tricycle Concept M3
What a nice rendering... It's so cool. I really like it.
If you have spare time, I would enjoy if you could you make a rendering like that on my sketchup bike !

Carl PlasschaertTuesday, 03 September 2013
Another successful solo swim was achieved by Carl Plasschaert on the 1st September. His time was an amazing 12hrs and 06mins (subject to ratification) with pilot Eric Hartley and observer Keith Oiller. Carl landed on the rocks approximately 1/2 mile south of Cap Gris-Nez at 19:11 hrs. Carl is reportedly only the 14th Belgian to successfully complete a solo Channel Swim and did so in the worst conditoins that the observer had experienced in the past 2 seasons. A south westerly wind of 20 kts was recorded with an estimated 8 ft swell with breaking waves over the last 5 hours of the swim.
A huge well done to Carl and in such an amazing time!

The Gregg County Sheriff's Office tells us evacuation orders have been lifted in Longview after a natural gas leak.
Around 11:45 p.m. Sunday, a car hit a gas meter at a home in the Lakeport area off Highway 322 in Longview. The accident started a natural gas leak that forced authorities to evacuate the area within a one mile radius.
Residents were out of their homes for about three hours while the Gregg County Sheriff's Office, DPS and Lakeport City Police ensured the gas was cut off and the vehicle was removed. No word yet on if any citations were issued for the accident.
Highway 322 was shut down in both directions, but was reopened around 3:15 a.m. on Monday.

Eastern Washington University redshirt freshman wide receiver Cooper Kupp can add another bit of history to his resume.
Just two days after winning the Jerry Rice Award as the top freshman in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, he was named to The Sports Network All-America first team on Wednesday (Dec. 18), becoming just the fifth freshman to be named to that team since 1990.
The 2012 graduate of Davis High School in Yakima, Wash., is one of only two freshmen wide
receivers to ever be named to the first team – the other was Randy Moss in 1996. Two running backs and a defensive back are the others selected since 1990.
In addition to Kupp, Eastern sophomore quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. and senior cornerback T.J. Lee III were named to the TSN All-America second team. Adams was the runner-up for the Walter Payton Award, while Lee was only the third Eagle in school history -- and 45th in the 50-year history of the Big Sky Conference – to earn first team all-league honors three times.
Previously, the first FCS All-America team was released on Dec. 6 by College Sports Madness and five Eagles were selected to the first and second teams. Kupp was a first team selection and was the FCS Freshman of the Year, and Lee also earned first team accolades. Named to the second team were Adams, as well as center Ashton Miller and linebacker Ronnie Hamlin.
Adams, Kupp, Miller and Lee also earned first team All-America honors from Beyond Sports Network.
The 12-2 Eagles host Towson this Saturday at 11 a.m. Pacific time in the semifinals of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs.

External Hard Drives Constructed With Cardboard, Hemp, and Beer
FURNICS slogan is "furniture meets electronic", but we're not so sure how many furniture/computer manufacturers offer see-through hard drives, individually handmade-to-order personal computers with Zebrano wood detailing, or accessories like hard drive cases made from hemp and beer mash...
Products like the ByteBench, an iF Design Award winner, and the environmentally friendly BytePac (above) buck typical computer hardware materials for cardboard, unusual wood finishes, and occasionally gimmicky (but cool) features like their see-thru window external hard drives.
And don't forget hard drives with hemp fibers case covers. If the green isn't your thing, there's also cases made from draffs, the solid parts of grain in the mash leftover while brewing beer, alongside a perplexing case embossed to feel like crocodile leather (huh?). Categorize it all under "weird, but true".

The airlines have numerous fees these days: a checked bag fee, a blanket fee, a snack fee. It all adds up. However, wouldn't it be nice to get some of those fees back?
You found a great deal and booked a flight on a non-refundable ticket. However, there are times when life intervenes and you have to miss your flight. Well, all is not lost.Buried in the ticket cost are fees, like the September 11th Security Fee. According to the Government Accountability Office, you can get that money back because the fees depend on the use of the ticket, not the sale of the ticket. Delta and AirTran Airlines offer four different refunds on canceled flights. There is a catch to get the refunds. You have to ask for it. The airlines don't offer them up. How much you get back depends on the price of the ticket. An AirTran spokesman says you can expect about $30 or $40 back, perhaps more. That adds up if you have a whole family flying.
To request a refund Delta or AirTran, visit:

VALPARAISO | Democratic Porter County Councilwoman Laura Blaney was on her way Tuesday night to winning the South District seat on the Porter County Board of Commissioners.
Blaney was leading Republican challenger Mike Heinold with 41 percent of the vote in, according to the county voter registration website.
Blaney, 44, who was glad to see the campaign come to an end, said voters want to see an end to all the strife among county officials.
"They want people to work together more," she said from the Democrat gathering at The Venue in downtown Valparaiso.
Blaney and other members of the Porter County Council were recently involved a heated dispute over the planning for next year's budget. She blamed the conflict on the lack of necessary figures until late in the game, which resulted in no opportunity for the dueling sides to negotiate an agreement.
Blaney said she will be able to work not only with the two other commissioners, but also with her fellow council members.
"I don't think there's anybody I can't work with," she said.
Heinold, who was impressed by all the support he received during his first run for elected office, said from a Republican gathering at the Legacy Banquet Center in Valparaiso that voters voiced concern during the campaign about the local economy.
"I just think they want to see Porter County continue to grow," he said.
Heinold said the county can play a positive role by being more proactive and taking advantage of the $160 million in proceeds from the sale of the county hospital, along with the interest, which totaled $11.8 million at the end of July.
Heinold's campaign hit a bump in the road Oct. 27 when he was arrested by Valparaiso police on DUI charges after being stopped with only one functioning headlight and after attempting to turn on to a road under construction and clearly marked as closed, police said.
Blaney has said as commissioner she would work to make the county more user-friendly for businesses eying the area by establishing an easier way for them to gather the information they need. This likely could be done with existing resources within the planning department and/or commissioners office.
Blaney is familiar with the needs of businesses as former owner of Kelsey's Steak House and Stay Clean Carpet Cleaning, and current owner of One Guy With Tools.

I thought it was a great science fiction book. Although it was rather long, I really enjoyed reading it because of it's interesting story line and characters.

Jack said:
This book runs parallel to Ender's Game. It tells the story from the perspective of Bean, a very small soldier who is brilliant. It is the start of the Bean trio of books (soon to be a quartet, with the release of Shadow of the Giant), and is a fascinating read. I reccomend this for all who have read Ender's Game, but if you haven't, you'll probably understand it and I also reccomend it to you.

I thought this book was interesting, thought provoking, and a great read. It has a lot of psycological stuff in it but also had lots of action. Is a parallel novel to Enders Game. Very good but a complex read.

How You Can Time The Market Successfully
Shmulik is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I always laugh when I hear people say that "you can never time the market." I believe that not only can you time the market, but that you should always time the market. By that I don't mean that you can time temporary ups and downs in individual stocks, that is a futile endeavor. What I mean is that you can spot general market trends, well in advance. There are times when you should be fully invested in equities, and there are times when you should be limiting your equity exposure. You can learn to identify these times by doing a little homework. The following are 3 different indicators that will assist you in recognizing future shifts in the stock market before they actually happen.
The indicators
Indicator #1: Inflow/outflow of funds: you can monitor the general flow of investor's money by looking which types of funds have raised the most money, and which ones have lost the most money. This signal serves as a counter-trend signal, meaning - you want to be invested in stock funds precisely when the investing crowd deserts stock funds and chases bond fund, etc. As of now, the Investment Company Institute recently reported strong money inflow to stock funds since the beginning of 2013.
Indicator #2: VIX: The volatility index, better known as the "fear index" measures the average volatility in stocks. In times of uncertainty, stocks jump all over the place, and the index gives a high reading. In times of complacency, the VIX is very low. It pays off to watch every time the VIX sits around its 52 week low, because this usually means that the investing crowd is too excited about stocks. We all know what happens once the general public gets too excited about stocks. As of now, the VIX gives a reading of 12.78, which is very close to the bottom of the 52 week range of 12.19 to 27.73.
Indicator #3: The 50 day moving average (DMA): As a general rule, you want to be invested in the stock market when less than 25% of all stocks are trading above their 50 DMA. This implies that the crowd is not too thrilled about stocks and that there is sufficient room for an upside. As of now, more than 93% of all stocks are trading above their 52 DMA. Historically, it has been a bad time to buy into stocks.
The immediate suspects
When things turn for the worse, as I suspect will soon happen, there is usually a pretty well defined category of stocks that will get smacked in the head fast and hard, way before their peers. I am referring to the category of Internet - concept companies which trade at sky-high P/Es. If history is any guide, the stocks below will experience very sharp declines. Below is my "black list" of disastrous growth stocks:
- Amazon.Com (NASDAQ: AMZN): The gigantic Internet retailer is trading at an astounding P/E of 3,792x. It boasts a price/book of 15x. The company was able to increase its quarterly revenue by 22% year over year.
- Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA): the developer of game software and content is trading at a P/E of 1,573X. Its quarterly revenue growth has diminished by 13% year-over-year.
- Aspen Technology (NASDAQ: AZPN): The software optimization provider has a P/E of 1,530X and a Price/Book of more than 27X. The company's quarterly revenue growth jumped by more than 16% year-over-year.
- LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD): The hub for social- professional networks has a P/E of 825 and a price/book of 16. The company demonstrated an impressive 80% growth in quarterly revenue.
- Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX): The "video by mail" company is trading at a P/E multiple of 570 with a price/book of more than 12. The company exhibited quarterly revenue growth of only 8% year-over-year.
The Foolish bottom line
Based on the indicators I described above, we will probably be facing some tough times in the stock market soon. Staying away from stocks on my 'black list' is the preliminary step you can take in order to avoid catastrophic losses. You should try and time the market. It pays off handsomely.

THURSDAY, Sept. 19 (HealthDay News) -- The so-called global Alzheimer's epidemic is leading to a shortage of caregivers for seniors and a lack of support for family members who look after elderly relatives, according to a new report.
Released Thursday, the report said the number of dependent older adults will increase to 277 million by 2050, and half of seniors who require personal care have dementia.
As the world's population ages, the traditional system of informal care provided by family, friends and the community will require much greater support from governments. This means leaders worldwide need to make dementia a priority by implementing national plans and having discussions about future strategies for long-term care, according to the World Alzheimer's 2013 report.
Worldwide, 13 percent of people 60 and older require long-term care, the report said. Between 2010 and 2050, the number of older adults with care needs will nearly triple, from 101 million to 277 million.
Long-term care is mainly about care for people with dementia, according to the report. About half of all older people who need personal care have dementia, and 80 percent of seniors in nursing homes have dementia. The worldwide cost of dementia is currently more than $600 billion.
More attention needs to be paid to helping dementia patients and their families "live well with dementia," the report said. It also called for a 10-fold increase in research funding to "re-energize" the work on dementia prevention, treatment and care.
Among specific recommendations are the following:
Having systems in place to monitor the quality of dementia care in all settings, whether in the community or care homes
Promoting autonomy and choice for patients at all stages of dementia and for their caregivers
Better integration and coordination between health and social care systems to meet patients' and caregivers' needs.
Adequately training frontline caregivers, with systems in place to ensure that paid and unpaid caregivers receive appropriate financial rewards -- both to sustain the informal care system and improve recruitment and retention of paid caregivers
Properly valuing unpaid work of family caregivers. Although care in care homes is a preferred option for a significant minority, quality of life at home can be just as good and costs are comparable.
Monitoring quality of care in care homes through the quality of life and satisfaction of their residents, in addition to routine inspections.
"People with dementia have special needs. Compared with other long-term-care users they need more personal care, more hours of care and more supervision, all of which is associated with greater strain on caregivers, and higher costs," report author Martin Prince, a professor at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, said in a college news release. "Their needs for care start early in the disease course, and evolve constantly over time, requiring advanced planning, monitoring and coordination."
"We need to value the unpaid contribution of family caregivers more, and reward paid caregivers better," Prince said. "We can build quality into our care systems, but to do so while containing costs and achieving equity of access for all will be a challenge."

Crystal Park and Rec fund raising program clarification #fbFebruary 22nd, 2011
Just to let you know, if Bassett Creek had no damage to the park we would not be running this fund raiser.
The stolen generator did affect our donation to the park, but we are not using this fund raiser to pay back the expense of the lost generator.
All proceeds from this fund raiser are going directly to the City of Crystal for their youth program as well as to offset the expense to repair damage to Bassett Creek Park.
A stolen generator would not affect our access to this great racing venue and we don't want to portray this fund raiser as such.

Medicare Patients' Care Is Generally Good, but Varies Widely
In the past, Jencks says, HCFA has sought to improve care by hunting for "bad apples" among physicians through audits of patients' charts. The new report represents an effort to instead use population-based performance measures to gauge the quality of care across the entire Medicare system.
"We think that a great deal of the gap between what could be done and what is happening is attributable to systems failures," Jencks tells WebMD. "We think the health care system could be engineered so that these things happen as a matter of course, rather than depending on very busy individual physicians to make them happen."
For example, Jencks says, screening for patients' immunization status would improve if doctors' office systems were designed -- through computerization and other mechanisms -- to ensure patients were screened routinely. Now, many offices simply rely on the doctor to ask during checkups. "It is likely the immunization rates under these two scenarios are going to be profoundly different," he says.
In an independent assessment of the study, Elliott Fisher, MD, MPH, professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School and a researcher involved in the Dartmouth Atlas Study Series, says the study underscores the inconsistency found in American medical practice. The Dartmouth Atlas series has found wide variation in the utilization of services in the Medicare program.
"I think this drives home the message that for a variety of very well-measured attributes of medical care, there are substantial differences across states," says Fisher, who also is co-director of the VA Outcomes Group, a research group based at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in White River Junction, Vt., "Even the best states could do much better. There is lots of room for improvement."
The challenge, Fisher cautions, will be to use the information to improve overall systems of care, rather than focusing on specific measures on which states fared poorly. "There will be a temptation to look at these results in the same way that physicians look at report cards," he says. "We need take what we learn from these measures of variation and modify the systems to achieve the results we know we can achieve."
But some medical societies in states that did not score well suggest that the study does not necessarily tell the entire story. Leroy Sprang, MD, president of the Illinois State Medical Society, acknowledged there are areas of care that can be improved, but said the report's focus on performance measures may not indicate how the patients actually fared in treatment.
Jencks says that doctors and others who react defensively to the report, and patients who react with fright, risk missing the potential inherent in its findings.
"The point is that there is an opportunity to improve care, and the opportunity is best realized through systems change," Jencks says. "These figures are not about what has gone wrong. We have a system that is getting better."

"I love my save the dates! The customer service was great! I requested that they add my wedding website on an additional line and they did so perfectly. I was hesitant about getting a magnet because of the extra costs involved, but I was pleasantly surprised how affordable they ended up being. They were much cheaper (and cuter!) than many of the other sites that I checked out. They took regular 49 cent stamps. I highly recommend this item!"
"Very fast delivery and looked great. Everyone is raving over our magnets. Larger than I expected, in a good way. Product looks professional and came packaged very well. Great price too!"
"I used my engagement photo with this magnet design to represent my fiance and I's wedding colors. The image quality was outstanding in the final product and they made some tweaks to the final wording to add our website that gave me the perfect STD Magnet to send out to family. It is really nice to have things turn out the way they say they will! Highly recommend!"
"I LOVE the way these turned out! I got the magnet in the Luxe Turquoise color and it's perfect. They turned out beautifully and I love the artsy watercolor look of the design. They are exactly how they look online, with a nice weight and size. Also, they came within the estimated time which was a week after I approved the design layout. Very happy!"
"These came quickly - 5 days before the projected delivery date. Turned out great - the color was perfect, each one was perfect. Regular postage to send them - which was nice. The one thing that could be improved would be that one of our envelopes had some ink on it (probably from packaging), but I was sure to order extras so it was not an issue."

Research by economist Barbara Wolfe explores the association between socioeconomic status and the hippocampus, a brain region involved in learning and memory that is known to be affected by stress. A Huffington Post article cites the findings.
Wolfe conducted the study with several other scholars, including Seth Pollak, a La Follette School faculty affiliate. They found that children from lower income backgrounds had lower hippocampal gray matter density than children from higher income families. The findings suggest that differences in the hippocampus, perhaps due to stress tied to growing up in poverty, might partially explain differences in long-term memory, learning, control of neuroendocrine functions and modulation of emotional behavior.
The research, "Association between Income and the Hippocampus," is available online.

Denver Nuggets
Northwest Division
Denver Nuggets Power Rankings - 2013-14
|Power Ranking
|Week 24
|There were some rocky moments, sure, but this hot-seat talk after Brian Shaw's first season is hard to process. Especially when you factor in all of the Nuggets' injuries that halted their long playoff streak ... plus the progress by Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried amid the rockiness.
|Week 23
|A trivia question to distract Denver fans from their team's failure to extend a run of 10 straight trips to the postseason: How can we get away with saying that the Nuggets are in a class by themselves with the Spurs? Answer: Those are the only two teams this season not to employ a single rookie.
|Week 22
|Kenneth Faried just became the first Nugget since Antonio McDyess in 1999 to average at least 19.3 PPG and 9.9 RPG for the month of March. That's the good news. The bad news: Denver's slide since that 24-23 start, which will end a run of 10 straight playoff appearances, has reached 8-18.
|Week 21
|You can see in last week's Clips comment that the committee (of one) had a feeling Denver might knock the new No. 1 off its perch. Not that you'll find anyone celebrating there after J.J. Hickson joined JaVale McGee, Danilo Gallinari and Nate Robinson on its list of season-ending injuries.
|Week 20
|Hard to picture a warm and fuzzy relationship between the sports fans of Indianapolis and Denver after the Peyton Manning saga. But Pacer People have to love the Nuggets right now after they went to Miami, with a worst-in-the-West record of 6-13 since Feb. 1, and stunned the Heat.
|Week 19
|The Nuggets' run of 10 successive seasons in the playoffs is obviously gonzo, but Ty Lawson's return from injury has restored a sliver of normalcy to Denver affairs. He's one of only four players this season averaging at least 18 PPG and 8 APG, along with Steph Curry, John Wall and Chris Paul.
|Week 18
|Life was supposed to be calmer in Denver post-Andre Miller. The Nuggets have instead sunk to the sort of depths -- even accounting for how much injuries have weakened them -- that increasingly leave you with the feeling nobody won the Carmelo Anthony trade. Kinda like the Dwight Howard trade.
|Week 17
|The only hoop consistency emanating from the Mile High these days is (A) Denver's losing and (B) Brian Shaw's public critiques of the Nuggets' effort during this month's 1-7 slide. Refusing to use their many injuries as an alibi, Shaw says: "What I can't live with is the disinterest in competing."
|Week 16
|Win six in a row, lose eight straight. Win five in a row, drop six of eight. No one, not even Brian Shaw, can figure this team out. Injuries are obviously a big factor but don't totally explain the issues plaguing the Nuggets on both sides of the ball. (Jordan White, Roundball Mining Company)
|Week 15
|As rough as this season has been for Carmelo Anthony in NYC, Denver would appear to have squandered all justification to gloat in the wake of all the big changes since last season ended and the steady stream of injuries that has just saddled the best Nugget -- Ty Lawson -- with a broken rib.
|Week 14
|The Broncos are feeling most of the Mile High misery at the minute, but they're not alone. The Nuggets just lost Nate Robinson to season-ending knee surgery on the heels of finding out that Danilo Gallinari will miss the entire season with his knee woes. Ty Lawson (shoulder) is banged up, too.
|Week 13
|A little history lesson to perhaps lift some of the gloom in the wake of the sad Danilo Gallinari news: Denver was a combined 25-107 during the previous two seasons the Broncos went to the Super Bowl. So 22-21, despite all of this season's ups and downs in the Mile High, doesn't sound so bad.
|Week 12
|If they go on to narrowly miss the playoffs in Brian Shaw's roller-coaster debut season on the Nuggets' bench, Team Up & Down will undoubtedly rue its repeated inability to beat the Suns, who are 3-0 in the season series and will go for the sweep Feb. 18 when the teams meet in Denver.
|Week 11
|Andre Miller's uncertain future has hogged all the headlines, but it's probably time to start paying attention to Ty Lawson. Those up-and-down Nuggets have followed an eight-game skid with a five-game winning streak ... with Lawson as the prime spark at 17.3 points and 11.7 assists in January.
|Week 10
|Ty Lawson has already matched the nine double-doubles he racked up last season. But that's about as much as you'll hear anyone discuss any of that in the wake of Denver's eight-game skid and the Andre Miller/Brian Shaw blowup that should seal Miller's exit between now and the trade deadline.
|Week 9
|It should be clear by now that these ain't last season's Nuggets. Yet it's jarring nonetheless to see them tailing off offensively, sporting the league's longest active losing streak and mired at 1-4 in December in their Pepsi Center fortress going into LeBron's 29th birthday party Monday night.
|Week 8
|A home loss to Utah on Friday the 13th was the first hint that Denver's top-10 status was tenuous. Then came last week's spike in degree of schedule difficulty, Denver's big blown lead at home to Phoenix and Kenneth Faried's ankle injury to provide the decisive downward nudge.
|Week 7
|Holding off the stubborn Pelicans, even with Anthony Davis out, is more impressive than it sounds. You had to be curious, after last season's 38-3 fairy tale at home, to see how the Nuggets would respond to getting outscored 84-36 by Utah's starters in their third Pepsi Center loss already.
|Week 6
|Only one stop to go -- Monday night in Washington -- on a Leastern Conference swing that couldn't have been much more inviting. While true that the itinerary stuffed six games into nine days, Denver faced a six-pack of teams that, as of Monday morning, had a composite record of 46-75.
|Week 5
|I would argue this six-game win streak, with half of those wins coming on the road and a shave of nearly eight points per game in team D fueling the surge, is as unexpected as Portland's recent 11-game win streak. Denver's next five are on the road, too, all against sub-.500 teams in the East.
|Week 4
|Step 1 to being more Denver-like: The Nuggets are a tough out at home again after the highly uncharacteristic 0-2 start there. Another encouraging development: Kenneth Faried has responded to the trade speculation with six double-doubles in seven games ... after just one in the first five games.
|Week 3
|Pains me to say it, as an admitted JaVale McGee enthusiast (see last week's comment), but Denver's guards are getting to the bucket better without McGee in the middle. Kenneth Faried's positive response to trade speculation and Wilson Chandler's return, even on a minutes restriction, haven't hurt, either.
|Week 2
|As maybe the world's biggest Shaqtin' A Fool fan, your faithful committee of (one) is seriously devastated to hear JaVale McGee is out indefinitely with a stress fracture. Not ready to ponder the implications for the Nuggets because I'm too worried about how this is going to affect me.
|Week 1
|Trying not to get carried away about two games for a team that clearly did not begin the season at full strength. Still ... Denver's Week 1 struggles did illustrate why some pundits (us included, yes) fear that the Nuggets won't be a playoff team in a West with 12 teams in the hunt for eight spots.
|Grantland's Zach Lowe recently introduced the list of the mere seven teams over the past 20 years to win 55-plus games and miss the playoffs one season later. With Danilo Gallinari out until December after knee surgery and all the other changes since May, Denver is definitely at risk to make it eight.
|Training Camp
|When rankings season ended last April, Denver had been so hot for so long in the spring that it finished a lofty No. 3. You can scarcely recognize this team now with no George Karl, no Andre Iguodala, no Masai Ujiri ... and a roster seemingly destined for the bottom half of the rankings this term.

Yeah, fishing dailies are amazing. 100g for a bell, 150g for a battered jungle hat, 26g for a painting etc. So many people are out on the open fishing all of a sudden. Since 3.1 here's real competition on fishing nodes. Food prices are down too due to the quantities of fish in the AH. It's safe to say that 3.1 is great for fishermen!

Our room was clean and comfortable. We didn't want to spend a lot on a room we knew we weren't going to be in very much, so the price was great, and the room turned out to be better than one would expect for the price we paid.
Our refrigerator wasn't cold. I breastfeed my 5month old son, and needed to store my pumped milk in the fridge, but it wasn't cold enough. The freezer was the temperature that the refrigerator should have been, so I stored it there instead. No big complaints, it all worked out fine.

Great location, easy check in, room was actually nicer than expected. The website picture shows the dreaded shower actually in the room(very bizarre) but when we arrived it was inside the bathroom and the room was updated nicely.
We were on the third floor(that was great) but we were above the main entrance portico so there was noise at time and also our room was next to the elevator but the hotel was not very busy so that was a very minor issue. Overall though, great stay!The pictures on the website are outdated so the rooms are much more modern than what is pictured.
