Expect weak volumes to persist in Q3 hospital earnings
- E.J. Boyer
- Staff Reporter- Nashville Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Earnings season is approaching, and after most hospital companies posted weak second quarter numbers, local analyst Brian Tanquilut isn't convinced the third quarter will show much improvement.
"I think from the investor perspective, people are just expecting weak volumes again this quarter," said Tanquilut, a Nashville-based analyst with Jefferies. "What really changed between the second quarter and this quarter … there's nothing really."
Tanquilut pointed to a third quarter earnings preview that showed weak volumes from Quest Diagnostics, a lab provider.
"Quest put up weak numbers and in a way I would say it set the bar because labs are a good utilization indicator for most of health care," he said. However, he also believes this expectation is already factored into current stock valuations, investor expectations and company guidance ranges.
In a research note earlier this week, Tanquilut wrote that his team believes most health care provider stocks will trade sideways on modestly soft volume trends around earnings releases, while those that outperform their peers will be rewarded.
So, who is expected to outperform peers? Tanquilut has his eyes on HCA. Last quarter HCA bucked the weak performance trend that plagues most other for-profit hospital companies, posting increases in admissions, revenue and profits.
"They differentiated themselves in the second quarter," said Tanquilut of HCA, adding he expects it to continue. "Their cluster strategy, focus on the ER business -- that's driving referral flows into their hospitals."
Tanquilut's been following the government shutdown in D.C., and although a tentative deal has been reached, he's withholding judgment on how it might impact the health care services sector until he sees the bill and how spending negotiations play out.
"On the Washington stuff, I'm waiting to see what the bill actually looks like," he said. "Honestly, my view on that is if they put in another across-the-board cut like sequester … then it's another negative for the group … When the fiscal cliff bill was passed, we didn't really see the details on what was passed until a week and half later. So I'm in the holding pattern."
It looks like Obamacare will, for the most part, make it through this latest crisis, despite attempts to strip funding by Tea Party Republicans. CNN is reporting, though, that the White House supports a provision in the deal that strengthens verification measures for people getting subsidies under Obamacare.

Lacy Hunt Warns Federal Reserve Policy Failures Are MountingSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/18/2013 21:40 -0400
The Fed's capabilities to engineer changes in economic growth and inflation are asymmetric. It has been historically documented that central bank tools are well suited to fight excess demand and rampant inflation; the Fed showed great resolve in containing the fast price increases in the aftermath of World Wars I and II and the Korean War. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, rampant inflation was again brought under control by a determined and persistent Federal Reserve. However, when an economy is excessively over-indebted and disinflationary factors force central banks to cut overnight interest rates to as close to zero as possible, central bank policy is powerless to further move inflation or growth metrics. The periods between 1927 and 1939 in the U.S. (and elsewhere), and from 1989 to the present in Japan, are clear examples of the impotence of central bank policy actions during periods of over-indebtedness. Four considerations suggest the Fed will continue to be unsuccessful in engineering increasing growth and higher inflation with their continuation of the current program of Large Scale Asset Purchases (LSAP)...

The Fed's Broken Piping In One Chart: JPM "Purchasing Dry Powder" Rises To All Time High $550 BilllionSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/11/2013 12:54 -0400
As of the most recent data, which saw JPM's deposit holdings surge by the most ever (except of course for the inorganic "acquisition" of WaMu in Q3 2008) or $78 billion in just one quarter, while loans continued to be flat, we now knows that JPM had marginable power to chase risk higher to the tune of $552 billion, an all time record in excess deposits over loans!

Have We Reached Peak Federal Reserve?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2013 12:39 -0400
Billionaires and political lackeys alike have been falling all over themselves in the rush to praise the Federal Reserve's unprecedented monetary intervention since 2008. That billionaires and political hacks, apparatchiks and toadies cannot laud the Fed's Cargo Cult enough is no surprise: the billionaires and the government that feeds them both gained handsomely from the Fed's policies. As the Fed-induced asset bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate follow the inevitable Supernova track to implosion, that we've reached Peak Federal Reserve will be obvious - in hindsight.

"A broad-based tax cut, for example, accommodated by a program of open-market purchases to alleviate any tendency for interest rates to increase, would almost certainly be an effective stimulant to consumption and hence to prices. Even if households decided not to increase consumption but instead re-balanced their portfolios by using their extra cash to acquire real and financial assets, the resulting increase in asset values would lower the cost of capital and improve the balance sheet positions of potential borrowers. A money-financed tax cut is essentially equivalent to Milton Friedman's famous "helicopter drop" of money ."

Guest Post: Why Oil Could Move Higher... Much HigherSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/01/2013 14:52 -0400
The conventional wisdom of the moment is that a weakening global economy will push the cost of commodities such as oil down as demand stagnates. This makes perfect sense in terms of physical supply and demand, but this ignores the consequences of financial demand and capital flows. The total financial wealth sloshing around the world is approximately $160 trillion. If some relatively modest percentage of this money enters the commodity sector (and more specifically, oil) as a low-risk opportunity, this flow would drive the price of oil higher on its own, regardless of end-user demand and deflationary forces. If we grasp that financial demand is equivalent to end-user demand, we understand why oil could climb to $125/barrel or even higher despite a physical surplus.

Guest Post: The Tailwinds Pushing The U.S. Dollar HigherSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/27/2013 11:21 -0400
If we shed our fixation with the Fed and look at global supply and demand, we get a clearer understanding of the tailwinds driving the U.S. dollar higher. I know this is as welcome in many circles as a flashbang tossed on the table in a swank dinner party, but the U.S. dollar is going a lot higher over the next few years. In a very real sense, every currency is a claim not on the issuing central bank's balance sheet but on the entire economy of the issuing nation. All this leads to two powerful tailwinds to the value of the dollar. One is simply supply and demand: as the global economy slides into recession, trade volumes decline, and the U.S. deficit shrinks. (It's already $250 billion less than was "exported" in 2006.) That will leave fewer dollars available on the global market. The second tailwind is the demand for dollars from those exiting the euro and yen. The abandonment of the euro is already visible in these charts.

Guest Post: Inequality And The Decline Of LaborSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/08/2013 11:41 -0400
Inequality has many sources, but political and technological dynamics are key factors. Few commentators dare wonder if the entire model of distributing output via wages is broken. Those few who do dare wonder if there simply won't be enough paid work to go around have a conventional solution: the Central State should tax the remaining wage earners (and everyone's unearned income) and pay everyone without a job a guaranteed annual income. In the State-dominated consumerist economy, this is the only possible conceptual solution, because it gives the State more power and distributes enough income to keep the consumer-based economy well-greased. Is there no other model?

Guest Post: Why Central States/Banks Inflate Asset Bubbles, And Why They ImplodeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/28/2013 11:32 -0400
That the policies of central states and banks have led to one disastrous asset bubble after another over the past 15 years is undeniable. This poses the question: is this serial bubble-blowing intentional, or are the bubbles merely unintended consequences of the neoliberal, neofeudal model of financialization that dominates global finance? The answer boils down to this: inflate assets or die. Inflating phantom assets to collateralize expanding debt is failing due to diminishing returns on stimulus, zero-interest rates, money-printing and monetization of Federal debt.

Nirvana, Creditopia, And Why Central Banks Are The DevilSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/21/2013 21:08 -0400
Central banks are the devil. Hinde Capital explains that they are like drug dealers except they administer regular doses of supposedly legally prescribed barbiturates to their addicts. The 'easy money' or 'credit' they create is an opiate and like all addictions there is a payback for the addicts, one exacted only in loss of health, misery and death. The economic system is an addict, but that system is comprised of banks, corporations, non-profit organisations, small businesses all of which are communities. And what comprises communities, us, human beings - individuals. We are the addicts. It is Hinde's contention that central banks feel they need to maintain the balance of credit in the system as it currently stands by adjusting the money supply and monetary velocity (MV) but by doing so they merely circumvent the necessary adjustment in the economic system that comes about by market failure. If they don't allow this failure then any attempt to influence MV will only lead to higher prices (P) at the expense of output (T) in the famous monetary equation MV=PT. Sadly the desire of the State to control money and administer it like a drug has left our economies unproductive and incapable of standing on their own two feet. Full must read Hinde Insight below...

Faster Movement Speed ItemsPosted 23 Dec 2012 by
Here's a full list of faster Movement Speed items in Diablo III, including all the odd legendary and set armor pieces. The article follows the same form as our previous compilation of all the maximum Magic Find and Gold Find gear, In both cases, it's possible to greatly exceed the in-game cap on the property, which is 25% from Faster Run gear (though skills and the Fleeting Shrine can boost that much higher).
Moving fast is fun and makes for quicker runs, and it's actually essential for some builds, where the character is in a perpetual race against cooldowns and active skill timers that can only be refreshed by landing more critical hits or soaking up more health orbs.
How much fast is enough? Early players may find just boots to provide enough of a boost, but as players gear up more is usually sought. In a design feature unpopular with most players, the game caps the faster run at 25% improvement from gear. Since the biggest bonus you can get from any item is 12%, and most of the end game items provide exactly that much bonus, most players are happy with two 12% items and don't bother using a third just to add 1% more speed. (Skills and the Fleeting Shrine add on top of that speed, which is one reason Barbarians with Sprint are so popular.)
Most builds don't really *need* that much footspeed, but when shopping for Diablo 3 gear, it's best not to confuse "need" with "want." Run fast, kill fast, farm fast. Give into the dark side. It is your destiny.
Faster Movement Speed from Boots
The affixes that provide faster movement speed can spawn on Magical and Rare boots, and this property is considered almost mandatory on a good pair of boots. More footspeed is almost always a good thing, but some boots (such as Ice Climbers) can have such good stats that players will use them even without faster movement. (Though they're much more valuable with MS than without it.) It's also possible to get great boots that do *not* have Movement Speed, for quite cheap, since that one stat is so sought after that any boots without it are much lowered in value.
Many legendary and set boots have faster movement as an inherent property, and others can spawn with faster movement as one of their random affixes. Those properties can not stack on the same item, so the biggest bonus you can ever get from any boots in the game is 12%.
Here's the full list of set and legendary boots with their item level and Movement Speed Increased listed, including the few that do not have MSI as an inherent mod.
Set Boots
That's just the boots. Click through for the full list of all set and legendary items that add to run speed, sorted by equipment slot.
None of the set amulets provide faster run. Two of the legendary amulets do, but they're both mid-level and thus unheard of in the end game.
One of the set rings and one of the legendary rings grant faster run as a property.
There are no legendary helms or set helms (including partial set bonuses) that grant faster movement speed. This includes normal helms and all of the class-specific helms for the Wizard, Witch Doctor, and Monk.
Plenty of legendary helms grant Faster Attack Speed, but none grant Faster Movement Speed. Besides, how could your hat make you run faster? As a famous defense attorney once concluded, it doesn't make sense. It does not make sense!
Like the helms, none of the set shoulders or legendary shoulders grant faster movement speed.
Chest Armor
None of the set chest armor provides faster run, but a pair of the legendary chests do.
None of the set bracers provide faster run, but two of the legendary bracers do, and thanks to it and their faster attack speed, Lacuni Prowlers are by far the most popular bracers in the game.
None of the set belts provide faster movement, but one fairly-obscure legendary belt does. It's a Mighty belt, and as such will only fit around a Barbarian's waist.
None of the set gloves or legendary gloves provides faster movement speed.
One of the set pants grant faster movement speed, and that mod, plus the AS, makes Inna's Temperance one of the most popular pants in the game. One legendary pants has the modifier as well, but they're lower level and thus very hard to touch.
Grouping shields, quivers, mojos, and sources all together, since they all come up dry. There are no set off-hand items or legendary off-hand items that add movement speed.
Saved Weapons for last and put them all in one group, instead of by type, since there aren't very many of them and since no one uses them anyway. Since there are no off-hand weapons with faster run, there's little difference between one-handed and two-handed weapons. The Monk and Barb can dual wield a number of these combos, giving those two classes an additional advantage in faster run potential.
Top Speed?
So what's the fastest you can move in Diablo III? Sadly, just 25% from items, but here's a list of all the fastest possible options. This does not include skill boosts to faster run or the Fleeting Shrine.
As with MF/GF, you can easily exceed the 25% in-game hard cap on this modifier. But just for fun, let's add it up. 12 Amulet + 23 (11+12) Rings + 0 Helm + 0 Shoulders + 12 Body Armor + 12 Bracers + 11 Belt (Barb only) + 12 Pants + 12 Boots + 21 (9+12) Weapon = 115% for the Barb only. Monk comes in second, 11% back since he can't wear the belt, and the other classes are 9 back of the Monk since they can't dual wield and there are no off-hand faster run items.
That's from 10 possible items for the Barb. And a good thing he's out in front too since the poor Barb class is so slow and weak in D3 at this point, with really no skills at all to accelerate his movement through and between enemy packs. Finally he catches a break! *cough*
How much faster run do you guys find essential? At this point I feel really slow with less than 24%, but I'm not playing a spin2win Baba either. I imagine after a day of that brute sprinting around, all the other classes feel very slow, and not just on killing speed.
Also, has anyone put faster run rings/amulets/weapons on their Follower? I haven't tried it and it hardly seems necessary, since Followers have that double speed run mode they click on any time you get a bit ahead, and if they fall off the screen they just teleport. But it might be entertaining to watch them try to keep up if you were really stacked up on run speed?

750ml poured into a St. Bernardus Goblet
A- Pours a monster beige head with tight bubbles and beautiful lacing. The beer itself is deep dark brown with reddish orange hues.
S- Big dark fruits that I expected. Rum soaked raisins. Burnt caramel, maybe even some honey? Grapefruit, a little alcohol, figs, pretty good stuff. maybe some figs and cinnamon as well.
T- A full variety of crazy flavors, different with every sip. Creamy caramel mixed with dark fruits, Some cinnamon and ginger make this thing come alive. Sugary sweet fruit aftertaste with brown sugar. Started to taste the alcohol after it warmed up a bit.
M- Boatloads of carbonation, its a truly living beer. Definitely a warming in the stomach because its 10%. This thing pours with a lot of foamy head so be cautious on the pour as the head goes nowhere.
O- Awesome beer. It is in my opinion, a little better then the 12. Its just like the twelve but with a slight Christmas kick.

2012. Says it can be aged up to 15 years. I can't imagine how good this would be after a few years, let alone 10 or 15.
A: Deep, dark brown with shades of ruby red. Big, fluffy, off-white to light brown head that builds and fades quickly leaving behind a fizzy, thin layer of foam on top until the first sip.
S: Mmmm...figs, raisins, dark and sweet malts, ripe plums, dark bread, sugar. Very nice. But as the beer warms, some of this disappears, surprisingly.
T: Crazy amount of carbonation (expected from the huge pop from the cork when opened). Thick, creamy, and full of flavor. Sweet, sugary, roasted malt complemented by dark, poached, sugary fruits.
M: Super carbonated and full of roasted flavor. The flavor is stronger than the body makes you believe. A tad cloying in the finish with some warmth from the alcohol.
O: It's a great beer but doesn't seem to be anything crazy or special. Spot on for the style, though. Spiced enough to make this feel like a holiday ale.

Opening this thing is a danger to ones face as the cork skyrocketed off as soon as I untwisted the cap. Took a minutes to locate the cork. Keep away when opening for safety's sake.
Poured the 750 bottle into a chalice producing a huge bubbly/sudsy off white/tan head with a brown body and red highlights. Head sticks around forever!
Stereotypical strong dark smells of dark fruits. I can pick up on some of the "holiday spices" going on but I mostly get cinnamon and nutmeg. If theres anything else I don't know.
The spices and dark fruit are what hit first but theres a nice caramel thing going on and the hop finish is wonderful. Love this thing. I almost want to give it a 5.
Lovely smooth medium body. Not a bunch of carb that I was expecting since it blew the cork off. That's prob where some of it went. Leaves a little tongue tingle.

11.2oz bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a deep brown with not much light getting through; huge fluffy off-white head that sticks around and leaves awesome lacing and retention. The aromas are full of dark fruits and sweet malts. Lots of raisins and plums. Dark cherries too. Some dates in the mix. Candied sugar aromas are there. Of course there's some yeast. The flavors really match the nose. Tons of sweet fruits. Hints of bubblegum and banana too. More plums. Lots of sweet cherries. Finishes with some holiday spices. There's a subtle earthiness. Woodsy. The flavors are very clean. There's basically no hints of alcohol and just finishes with the slightest warmth. Mouthfeel is wonderful. It's full-bodied with very active carbonation. Very smooth, fluffy, and creamy. This makes a nice sipper with a nice complexity.
This is a great Quad. The craftsmanship is very impressive. This is pretty similar to their Abt 12, in my opinion. There's minor differences, especially the subtle spices. I think I'd give Abt 12 the edge, but I'd have to do a side by side to really tell. Either way, this is a great beer. Recommended.

750ml into a tulip. Pours a deep garnet, back lite it would make a nice ornament. Dense towering head, nice lacing.
Merry Christmas to my nose, a wonderful Noël scent rich with spices atop a classic strong dark.
The taste is wonderful, try it. This is the Noël of the season plus wonderful in July.
simply superb

this brew pours up a red tinted brown color with a nice frothy off white head. great lacing. the nose is red apple, faint candy sugar, sweet malts, caramel, pear. the taste is very sweet, dark cherries, yeast, chewy malts. medium bodied and medium carbo. I like Belgium Holiday Ales because they generally don't have a set taste and they are all different. A solid beer.

750ml bottle served in an oversized wine glass / snifter
A - poured about a finger of loose bubbly khaki foam which quickly fell to a ring around the glass and small floating island in the middle. the beer is a dark and cloudy amber/brown.
S - regular St. Bernardus with a touch of santa. cinnamon, very dark and ripe fruits such as raisins and plums, hints of belgian yeast and grapes, finishes with a very light kiss of alcohol.
T - strong dark belgian yeast brings in a touch of the cinnamon and spice behind it. fruits of raisins and slightly sour grapes with a touch of doughy malt carrying it all. wonderful and festive.
M - typical slightly high carbonation but the sweetness adds a bit of overwhelming chewy and stickiness. overwhelming halfway into the first glass, the low point of this one.
D - a good slightly different twist on an exceptional beer. overall pretty enjoyable.

2011 vintage
a - poured a three-fingers thick, dense tan head into a tulip glass that settled to a thick sheet with great lacing throughout. the body was dark reddish-purple.
s - big aromas of cherry, plum and raisin.
t - same as the aroma but with some spice as well. some good malt sweetness too. very complex as all St. B beers are.
m - lively carbonation.
o - excellent as always from St. B. i'll always drink one of these during the holidays i hope.

A: A dark, dark amber with ruby highlights and a thick off white head that sits on top of the beer. Good lacing down the glass.
S: Roasted malt, bready yeast, anise, dark fruit and spice.
T: A toasted brown sugar, molasses, and dark fruit flavor to start, the boozy flavors then kick in along with a lighter fruitiness, bitterness and belgian funk in the beer.
M: Lower carbonation and a sticky, syrupy feel and it leaves the mouth a little dry and with a peppery spice.
D: The beer has a very strong flavor. You can definitely taste and feel the alcohol. However, the beer is tasty and has quite a kick.

Pours very dark ruby with huge rocky white head that stays bubbly throughout. Lots of fruity aromas. Citrus, banana, raisin, clove are all apparent.
Strong flavor. Can taste raisin and figs. Alcohol taste is heavy as well, like brandy perhaps. Very malty, little to no hop presence.
Huge body and tons of carbonation. Very lively and strong brew with a velvet like texture. Only minor complaint would be that it's almost too bubbly and it gets in the way of the flavors.

750 mL bottle poured into a chalice.
Appearance: Pours a hazy dark brown color with a nice tan head that slowly becomes a thick film and laces the glass.
Smell: Rich malty aroma of fruit (fig, pear), some sugar and spices, and a bit of orange peel.
Taste: Deep malty flavor with a bit of raisins and sugar towards the finish. Aftertaste has some bitterness. Surprisingly not much to the flavor, I felt.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a good deal of tingly carbonation. Pretty smooth, but I thought that the carbonation was a bit too much.
Drinkability: Strong in the alcohol department, but it isn't really present in the taste.
Honestly this was a bit of a let-down. Maybe I'd set my hopes too high, having been waiting for a good time to enjoy this bottle that I'd had since Xmas, but that surely isn't all. I would have expected a bit more flavor and aroma; it didn't really feel like a Belgian Christmas ale, and for a beer of this style it wasn't particularly impressive.

Why living near a busy road could be dangerous for your child's health: Traffic pollution linked to diabetes risk
Exposure to traffic fumes can set children on the road to diabetes, a study has shown.
Living near a busy road and increased levels of pollution from cars and lorries significantly raised the risk of insulin resistance in ten-year-olds, scientists found.
The condition, which reduces the body's ability to control blood sugar with the hormone insulin, is a recognised precursor of Type 2 diabetes.
Researchers in Germany looked at the effect of two kinds of traffic pollution on 397 children.
Blood tests were taken and measurements made of pollution emissions in areas where the children lived.
For every defined step-rise in levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sooty particulate matter (PM) from diesel exhausts, the risk of insulin resistance increased by 17 per cent and 19 per cent respectively.
The risk also rose by 7 per cent every 500 yards closer to a major road a child lived.
The risk of insulin resistance in children rose by 7 per cent every 500 yards closer to a major road a child lived
Study leader Dr Joachim Heinrich, from the German Research Centre for Environmental Health in Neuherberg, said: 'To our knowledge, this is the first prospective study that investigated the relationship of long-term traffic-related air pollution and insulin resistance in children.
'Insulin resistance levels tended to increase with increasing air pollution exposure, and this observation remained robust after adjustment for several factors, including socio-economic status, BMI (body mass index, a measurement relating height and weight), and passive smoking.'
The findings appear in the latest edition of the journal Diabetologia.
Previous research has linked air pollution, especially sooty particulates, with heart disease and premature death.
However, studies looking at associations between long-term exposure to traffic pollution and Type 2 diabetes in adults have been inconclusive.
'Oxidative stress caused by exposure to air pollutants may.. play a role
in the development of insulin resistance,' Dr Heinrich said.
'In addition, some studies have reported that short-term and long-term increases in particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide exposure lead to elevated inflammatory biomarkers, another potential mechanism for insulin resistance.'
The researchers are continuing to study the children, whose progress will be monitored for 15 years.
They want to see how the children fare as they grow older and become adults. Individuals who stay in the area where they grew up and those who move will also be compared.
The children studied will be monitored over the next 15 years to see if they develop diabetes
'Moving from a polluted neighbourhood to a clean area and vice versa would allow us to explore the persistence of the effect related to exposure and to evaluate the impact of exposure to increased air pollution concentration later in life,' Dr Heinrich added.
'Whether the air pollution-related increased risk for insulin resistance in school-age has any clinical significance is an open question so far.
'However, the results of this study support the notion that the development of diabetes in adults might have its origin in early life including environmental exposures.'
Environmental health expert Professor Frank Kelly, from King's College London, pointed out that children were especially vulnerable to air pollution.
'They have a larger lung-to-body volume ratio, their airway epithelium is more permeable to air pollutants, and the lung defence mechanisms against particulate matter pollution and gaseous pollution are not fully evolved,' he said.
'Breathing the same pollutant concentrations, children may have a two to four-fold higher dose reaching the lung compared with adults.'
He added that traffic pollution studies had largely focused on particulate matter and overlooked the effects of nitrogen dioxide.
Both levels of nitrogen dioxide and sooty particle matter have been linked to increased risk of insulin resistance in children
'It is of interest that this new study demonstrates that both PM and NO2 are linked to increased risk of insulin resistance in children,' said Prof Kelly.
'This finding is especially relevant for cities in the UK such as London which regularly exceeds current EU (European Union) limit values for NO2.
'Only last week the Supreme Court ruled that the UK Government was not doing enough to minimising NO2 pollution and protecting the health of its citizens.'
The possible link with oxidative stress highlighted the importance of childhood diet, he added.
'This is a timely reminder for Government that as well as improving air quality in our cites they need to ensure children have access to quality school meals which include fresh fruit and vegetables to ensure our children have good supply of antioxidants which will help protect them from the worst effects of traffic pollution,' said Prof Kelly.

Head coach Ray West has had some extremely good teams in his tenure at Okarche, but he can't remember one with this much size.
High school basketball: Okarche boys value versatility
The Warriors have five players taller than 6-foot-3, led by 6-foot-5 Sam Grellner, who averaged 13 points and nine rebounds as a junior last season.
He and 6-foot-4 John Shaefer are the only returning starters from the state tournament last season, but West feels comfortable in his current lineup.
"This is the biggest we've ever been since I've been at Okarche, and that will make a difference for us," West said. "I feel the guard we have back got a lot of experience. We have a good mix.
"We can put some different styles of teams on the floor and it gives us a versatility we haven't always had."
West put together one of his toughest schedules as well, a factor he thinks will prepare his team for March.
"I feel like we'll be battle-tested by the time we get to the playoffs," he said. "We may end up with a few losses, but we'll be better for it."
Dale girls coach Josh Forsyth said he will work junior Jaelin Flewallen back into the lineup gradually after Flewallen missed all of last season following shoulder surgery.
"She's a really good player," Forsyth said. "She's really talented, and we really could've used her last season, but we'll ease her in."
The Lady Pirates came close to making the state tournament last season, falling to Tonkawa twice in the playoffs, including in the area consolation final. Both games went down to the wire.
"I think we have a great opportunity to be better than we were last year," Forsyth said.
Among Dale's returners is senior forward Breck Clark. Clark averaged around 18 points and nine rebounds per game last season.

The 6 Mistakes You're Making Reheating That Food
Leftovers can be a boon -- two homemade meals for the effort of one. Or, if improperly handled, leftovers can be sad and unappealing. Some minor adjustment to your methods will pay off, turning that foil covered dish into treasure.
1. Don't Forget the Water
It is the rare food which can be successfully reheated without a sprinkle of water -- especially in the microwave. Most foods, including pastas, rice, grains and root vegetables, absorb surface liquids as they cool in your refrigerator. Replace that water by dripping, drizzling or flicking water onto the surface of any of the above before you reheat them. If you skip this step, the steam that the oven creates will be drawn off the surface of your food, leaving it rubbery and stiff.
2. Where's the Lid?
Do those leftovers taste dry? In the first place, tightly wrap food in the refrigerator, because it is always easier to take moisture out of a reheated food than to put moisture back in. Then, if you're reheating in a conventional or toaster oven, you will probably want to cover the food for the first half of the reheat time. This allows the oven to warm up the ceramic or metal dish which holds the food. Once that comes to temperature, you can remove the cover and allow the food to heat evenly.
3. Don't Walk Away From That Microwave
Reheating tasty leftovers takes a bit more babysitting than you'd think. In spite of what the manufacturer tells you, microwaving is a contact sport. Go ahead and set the timer for three minutes, but after sixty seconds you should open the door, carefully remove the lid or covering, and stir. Microwaves heat quickly but wildly unevenly. Without a stir, you will have cold spots as well as overcooked sections. Even soup needs a stir during reheating.
4. Don't use the Microwave for Foods With Multiple Moisture Profiles
The microwave is a quick and useful appliance, but it should only be used on foods which are consistently moist: pasta dishes, rice, steamed vegetables, soups & chilis. Anything which should be crisp on the outside and moist within (bread, fried chicken) should be warmed in the oven or toaster oven. Microwave technology turns crisp food soggy or rubbery. There's no getting around it.
5. Try Your Broiler
Even if broiling is not a comfortable part of your cooking repertoire, it can be invaluable for perking up leftovers. Foods that get soggy in the microwave, such as breads, pizzas or anything breaded or fried, can be crisped up under the broiler. If you are looking at a plate which is warm but unappetizing, try a minute underneath the preheated broiler. Keep food at least six inches from the coils and watch constantly for burning.
6. Don't Forget the Topping
Add something fresh to the plate. Try one of these: a squirt of lemon juice, a sprinkle of grated pecorino, a dot of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, shredded cheddar, panko breadcrumbs, a dollop of BBQ sauce, minced parsley or windowsill chives. You'll be surprised how far a garnish or sprinkle can go toward taking leftovers from sad to righteous.
7. Shred, Don't Cut
Cold chicken or slow-cooked meats should be shredded by hand rather than cut with a knife. The meat will cleave along lines which naturally preserve a moist texture.
8. Chill Immediately, Use Quickly and Reheat Thoroughly
Leftovers are a boon, but only if you use them safely. Don't allow foods to sit around the kitchen for hours before you chill them. When reusing, heat thoroughly. Not sure if that lasagna is hot? Stick the tines of a fork into the center of the heated dish and hold for a five count. Then touch to your tongue. Reheated food should be hot, not just lukewarm.

"I'll Have a Medium Please"- Episode 5 - Radio!
in Education
Radio, currently a synonym for "electromagnetic radiation", actually first came into use before Heinrich Hertz's proof of the existence of radio waves.
Originally "radio" was a general prefix meaning "radiant" or "radiation" -- hence "radio-activity" for the alpha, beta, and gamma rays emitted by decaying atoms. In Europe, some of the persons investigating Hertz's discovery began to employ the "radio-" prefix to describe the new phenomenon.

City will host several Western stars twice
Western Conference stars Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Allen Iverson and Tim Duncan will all make two trips to the Ford Center this season, but Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki will make only one.
Dates aren't firmed up for the 2008-09 NBA schedule, but it's already known how many times each team will visit a city based on a five-year rotation system, according to Matt Winick, NBA vice president of operations, who has drawn up NBA schedules for 23 years. This season the Mavericks and Sacramento Kings are the only two Western Conference teams that will make only one trip to Oklahoma City. In contrast, Oklahoma City will play only one road game at the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. Dates haven't been determined. The full schedule is expected to be out in the next few weeks. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was one of only two owners who voted against the NBA team's relocation from Seattle to Oklahoma City. But don't concoct any conspiracy theories. Team schedules are determined years in advance. The 2008-09 NBA schedule probably will be released within the next two weeks, but it's already known which 41 home games will be played in the Ford Center. Teams play everyone in their division four times — two home and two road. Of the remaining 10 conference opponents, a team plays six teams four times — two home and two road. A team plays the remaining four conference opponents only three times. For Oklahoma City, those four teams this season are the Mavericks, Kings, Lakers and Rockets. Western Conference teams play two games each against the 15 Eastern Conference teams — one home and one road.

Vidtel Releases WebRTC with MeetMe and Gateway Video Conferencing Services
Feb 04, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Vidtel, a provider of cloud-based video conferencing, announced that the Vidtel MeetMe and Gateway cloud services natively support WebRTC.
According to a release, WebRTC is an open-source application interface that allows real-time services like voice, video, and data sharing to work within a web browser.
Vidtel's MeetMe and Gateway services both natively support WebRTC.
MeetMe is a cloud-based any-to-any video conferencing service that allows users to collaborate seamlessly, regardless of whether attendees use SIP endpoints, H.323 endpoints, Google Talk, Skype, or WebRTC-powered web browsers.
Gateway brings any-to-any functionality to a customers' existing video conferencing bridge. The Gateway service complements an existing video conferencing bridge: instead of being a closed ecosystem, the Gateway service extends the customers' bridge, allowing companies to include attendees from other SIP or H.323 devices, as well as WebRTC browsers, Google Talk, and Skype.
"We're thrilled to announce the public availability of WebRTC with our MeetMe and Gateway services," said Alex Doyle, VP Marketing at Vidtel. "With Vidtel's WebRTC support, attendees will be able to join video conferences as easily as visiting a web site, with no bulky downloads or plugins, and Vidtel partners can build compelling new video applications rapidly. We expect WebRTC to stimulate innovation, accelerate the adoption of video conferencing, and to expand video conferencing to entirely new markets." Vidtel CEO Scott Wharton will be speaking on WebRTC at the ITExpo conference this week on two panels: The Future of Desktop Communications and Collaboration and Why Enterprise Video Will Explode in 2013.
