A federal crackdown on pain pills is causing a lot of pain for some pharmacies.
Because of the high rate of abuse of certain controlled medications like Oxycodone, Percocet, etc. pharmacies are now limited on the amount of controlled prescriptions they can get from their whole salers, the drug companies.
If you exceed that limit, you're cut off. Local pharmacists never expected that they would get caught up in the federal crackdown on distributors of prescription pain pills.
Six months ago, one wholesale drug company abruptly cut off supplies of narcotics to the locally owned Medicine Shoppe pharmacy in Tucson.
Pharmacists were told that the volume of pain drugs and other controlled prescriptions they were dispensing was too high.
Deborah Van Sant, a pharmacist and owner of the Medicine Shoppe said she is allowed to order 4500 units of Oxycodone every month. As a fairly new pharmacy they have been trying to grow their customer base and getting new contracts to supply medication for several nursing homes and assisted living facilities in the area.
Van Sant said she went over the limit by less than a dozens pills. Instead of asking for records, reasons, or an explanation, Van Sant said they were suddenly told their wholesaler would no longer allow them to buy any controlled substances.
Van Sant said she was shocked. In addition to dozens of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and the University of Arizona athletics department, she had dozens of chronically ill patients who relied on the pharmacy to deliver the drugs.
Its a nationwide problem. Since last January, pharmaceutical wholesalers, who are feeling the pressure from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency have scrambled to limit their liability by closely monitoring their distribution pipelines, in some cases cutting off customers completely.
Dozens of pharmacies throughout the nation have been cut off, or told they have told to cut back on prescription drug orders.
Van Sant said if you walked into her pharmacy with a prescription for any controlled pain pill today, she would have to tell you she doesn't have any. Her other option was to fill your prescription by getting the pills from another pharmacy, but the customer would have to drive there to pick up the meds. Van Sant said she had lost a third of her business since they were cut off by their drug wholesaler. That added up to almost a $1 Million in sales.
"It's not fair because we go above and beyond the state board's requirement to ensure we are filling legal prescriptions," said Van Sant.
Many customers were also feeling the pain, because they had to "pharmacy hop" to get their prescriptions filled. Chris Earhardt had a severe nerve disease and lived with a lot of pain.
"It makes me mad when you need it, you can't get it. Or I can drive to four or five different pharmacies all over town and end up all the way on the west side, and they don't have it," said Earhardt.
It's not just pharmacies, many local clinics and nurse practitioners said they too are feeling the pain.
"Patients have to suffer until something becomes available for them. They go into withdrawal which is a very difficult, especially for the elderly specifically," said Charlene Gundry, a Family Nurse Practitioner.
Customers who shopped at large chain pharmacies said they too were often told they had to come back or wait until the new shipment of drugs came in.
Phil Caruso,a spokesman for Walgreens released this statement to us on Tuesday.
"With the sharp rise in the abuse of prescription painkillers in recent years, health care professionals in all practices are continuously striving to find better ways of ensuring those medications are used only for legitimate medical purposes. We are working to ensure our patients continue to have access to the medications they need while fulfilling our role in reducing the potential abuse of controlled substances.
We firmly believe that addressing prescription drug abuse will require all parties – including leaders in the community, physicians, pharmacies, distributors and regulators – to play a role in finding practical solutions to combating abuse while balancing patient access to critical medication."
The Medicine Shoppe has already spent about $10,000 trying to fight this battle in court.
The National Community Pharmacists Association is now weighing in. Officials just released a statement saying they were aware of the escalating problem nationwide, and acknowledging that this a great concern for patients who needed the medication the most. They are investigating the concerns and hope to open up a dialogue with federal officials and lawmakers to take a second look at the protocols.

Storm brings wild weather swing to New EnglandBy DAVID SHARP
The Associated Press | February 01,2013PORTLAND, Maine A storm that caused havoc in the South brought wacky weather to northern New England on Thursday with thick fog, heavy rain, record warmth, ice jams and wind gusts topping 70 mph that caused numerous power outages. It was capped off with a pendulum swing back to colder temperatures.
Across northern New England, powerful wind gusts knocked out electricity for more than 70,000 homes and businesses, mostly in Maine, while warm temperatures and heavy rainfall caused ice jams on many rivers, threatening a number of communities, including Montpelier.
Several ski areas shut down for the day because of rain, or strong winds, or both.
In Maine, the wind gusted to 63 mph in Bath, ripping part of the roof off the Maine Maritime Museum. Gusts also hit 54 mph in Augusta, and 49 mph at the Portland International Jetport.
Offshore, the wind hit 60 mph at New Hampshires Isles of Shoals and 74 mph at Maines Matinicus Rock.
Thats natural for us, said Wanda Philbrook, post master on Matinicus Island, which is 20 miles from the coast of Maine. Its just another day in paradise.
The day started with rain and heavy fog that gave way to sun and a second day of warm temperatures. In Portland, the temperature hit 54 degrees, tying the record for the date for the second consecutive day. By midnight, the temperature was expected to drop below freezing, plummeting more than 30 degrees.
By 2 p.m. Thursday, the temperature was about 12 degrees atop New Hampshires Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast and home to some of the worlds most erratic weather.
By contrast, it reached 43 degrees at the summit on Wednesday, breaking the previous record of 38 set in 1947. Before temperatures started falling Thursday, the 38-degree reading at midnight broke the record for the day of 35 set in 1947.
All of that warm weather and rain caused rivers to rise and ice to break up, forming ice jams that raised the threat of localized flooding. In Maine, an ice jam closed the Route 4 bridge in Madrid.
In Montpelier, city officials warned residents to be on alert after an ice jam that broke loose from the Berlin area threatened the Winooski River.
Eventually, the threat to Montpelier subsided, but there were flood warnings on at least a half-dozen rivers, including the Saco River at Conway, N.H.
The cause of the wacky weather was the same winter weather system that spawned tornadoes in southern states, said Margaret Curtis from the National Weather Service.
In the south, two people were killed by tornadoes Tuesday and Wednesday, while a third was found dead Thursday in a flooded homeless camp in Maryland.
In northern New England, the biggest problem was the wind, which knocked down trees and tree limbs. The largest number of power outages were in Maine, where Central Maine Power reported more than 40,000 and Bangor Hydro Electric Co. reported more than 20,000 at the height of the storm. More than 13,000 power outages were reported in New Hampshire.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe progress to get the historic Robinson Sawmill up and running again in Calais is slow going,...

Climate and temperature can increase your calorie burn, experts say
CINCINNATI -- Do you burn more calories in cooler weather or when it's hot?
We talked with an expert about whether temperature or climate can affect how you burn calories.
According to the American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, both prolonged exposure to cold temperatures and sweating to lower body temperature in the heat use more energy.
Nancy Wilson, a Registered Dietitian with TriHealth explains.
"If you're in extreme temperatures for long periods of time, the body does burn calories at a bit of a higher rate. The metabolism does go up slightly to compensate for that to try to cool the body down."
It's estimated that people living in warmer climates have a resting metabolic rate of 5 to 20 percent higher than those living in more temperate climates. But temperature and climate aren't the only things that affect calorie burn.
"There are a lot of factors that affect metabolic rate, so your age, your height, your weight, your gender, how often you exercise, how much muscle you have."
Obesity is a major issue in this country, and while health factors and climate can play a role, so can social factors. For example, U. S. News and World Report's list of the 10 Fattest Cities has a combination of cities in warm climates, and cold climates. But, interestingly, the fattest city in America, the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission area in Texas, had the lowest per capita income.
"As far as income, sometimes purchasing healthier foods and restaurants can be expensive, the salads and the things like that, so grocery shopping is usually the best way to go."
So there are a lot of factors that play a role in how fast you burn calories, including climate. Wilson gave us some advice on ways to burn more calories:
- Prepare food at home
- Bring home meals to work
- Plan ahead
- Avoid the drive-thru
- More fruits and veggies… whole grains
- Unprocessed foods
- Go for a walk on your lunch break

Keurig 2.0: Will it be able to brew up profits?Kathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute1 day ago
Listen up, coffee lovers! Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR) is introducing a new coffee brewer. The Keurig 2.0 goes on sale this weekend on the retailer's website and it will set you back about $140-$200.
"It is a high-risk, high-reward venture," said Yahoo Finance Senior Columnist Michael Santoli. Keurig has to do this because they've seemingly exhausted the very rapid growth of their single cup coffee model, according to Santoli.
A new feature of the Keurig 2.0 is its ability to brew an entire pot of coffee. Santoli sees this is as a bit of a yellow flag because here is a company which is known for one thing, and now it's doing the exact opposite.
The new coffee maker is the first major product launch under CEO Brian Kelley, who took over as CEO in December 2012.
"It's going to be a challenge for Kelley and his team to show that they can change the dynamic here with multiple cups of coffee at once, which doesn't sound like a revolutionary thing, but for Keurig it is," said Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Aaron Task.
Game on for GameStop; Aeropostale falls; Old Navy gives Gap a liftKathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute1 day ago
Here is a look at some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.
Retailers continue to dominate the earnings headlines. Gap (GPS) shares rose in early trading. The clothing retailer raised its full year earnings and revenue outlook thanks to solid sales at its Old Navy business. The company also said it would open 40 stores in India as it continues with its strategy to expand in emerging markets. This after it reported earnings and revenue that beat estimates as it cut expenses.
Aeropostale (ARO) shares fell in the pre-market. The struggling teen retailer beat earnings and revenue expectations for its last quarter, but it projected a wider-than-expected loss for the current quarter. It also reported same-store sales dropped 13% year-over-year.
Yellen speech in focus; Keurig 2.0; Labor Day travel to increaseDean Arrindell at Hot Stock Minute1 day ago
Investors will be watching Fed Chair Janet Yellen's speech this morning at the annual gathering of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. They'll be paying close attention to Yellen's remarks about the labor market and interest rates, as well as statements from other Fed presidents at the event. European Central Bank president Mario Draghi will also take the podium.
Home Depot (HD) announced the its head of U.S. operations, Craig Menear, will take the reigns as Home Depot's new CEO on November 1st of this year. Menear has been with Home Depot since 1997 and the company said Menear's appointment was part of planned succession. Frank Blake, who has been Home Depot's chairman and CEO since 2007, will remain chairman.
Keurig's (GMCR) new coffee brewer, Keurig 2.0, will go on sale on Sunday. A major change to the company's first new version of its coffee brewer is that it can brew more than one cup of coffee.
Ugly Sears loss makes it a salvage operation, not a turnaround playMichael Santoli at Hot Stock Minute2 days ago
Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD), parent of the struggling Sears and Kmart chains, is not a retail turnaround story. It's not even really a retail story.
Sears reported another wretched quarter, losing $574 million, or $5.39 a share, on a steep 9.7% decline in sales. Though almost 40% of that sales decline is from the loss of transactions recorded by Lands' End Inc. (LE), which Sears spun off in April, the retail business continues to lose market share due to its aging store base.
While Sears extolls the 73% of eligible sales occurring through its Shop Your Way customer-loyalty program, the company is discounting heavily to draw that business and margins have dropped precipitously. Sure, online sales keep growing as a percentage of the whole, and same-store sales at core Sears domestic stores stabilized the past two quarters. But Kmart remains a mess, with few apparent options for fixing itself.
Hertz heading for management shakeup?Kathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute2 days ago
Hertz (HTZ) is getting plenty of attention from big investors these days. Billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed yesterday in a regulatory filing that he owns an 8.5% stake, or 38.8 million shares in the company.
"The life of management is going to be made more miserable by the presence of Icahn," said Yahoo Finance Senior Columnist Michael Santoli.
Icahn plans to pressure Hertz on accounting issues, operational failures and his lack of confidence in management. Also, i n typical Icahn fashion, he expressed interest in gaining a seat on Hertz's board. Hertz adopted a so-called "poison pill" last year, an action used to prevent any one shareholder from taking control of the company.
Hertz shares tumbled on Wednesday after the company said it expects its earnings for the year to be well below its previous guidance. The company cited operational challenges, including record-level vehicle recall activity and costs related to restating its financial statements for the last three years.
Santoli said Icahn is not alone in expressing his dissatisfaction with how the company has been mismanaged.
Sears slides; Family Dollar rejects Dollar General bid; Hungry for HormelKathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute2 days ago
Here is a look at some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.
Sears (SHLD) shares tumbled in early trading. The owner of Sears department stores and Kmart stores reported its ninth-straight quarterly loss. Adjusted earnings missed analysts' expectations by $0.24. Revenue, which fell almost 10%, also missed the mark.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is also on investors' watchlist this morning. A 12% jump in sales of personal computers helped HP post its first year-over-year sales increase in three years. Sales rose more than 1% from a year earlier, beating analysts' estimates. However, earnings matched expectations as the company undergoes a massive restructuring.
Family Dollar rejects Dollar General takeover bid; BofA in record settlement with DOJ; Weekly jobless claims fallDean Arrindell at Hot Stock Minute2 days ago
Family Dollar (FDO) formally rejected a takeover bid from Dollar General (DG) this morning. Family Dollar said a merger with Dollar General wouldn't likely be completed because of anti-trust concerns. Family Dollar also affirmed its support to merge with Dollar Tree (DLTR) in a deal worth about $8.5 billion.
The Justice Department announced a settlement with Bank of America (BAC) for the bank to pay $16.65 billion for its role in mortgage-backed securities sold in the run-up to the financial crisis. BofA will pay a penalty of $9.65 billion. An additional $7 billion in aid will go to homeowners and communities. The settlement is the largest in history between a company and the federal government.
Apple's record stock priceDean Arrindell at Hot Stock Minute3 days ago
Amid the anticipation of the iPhone 6 launch, excitement surrounding Apple (AAPL) has been focused on its stock price. Shares of the company closed Tuesday at a split-adjusted record high of $100.53. The company continues to break records today as it traded in record territory.
Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Aaron Task said that calling Apple stock a great investment would be an understatement. He cited a Wall Street Journal article that said a $10,000 investment in Apple 10 years ago would be worth more than $456,000 today. "This is why people own individual stocks as opposed to mutual fund or ETF of indexes. Because you just don't get that kind of performance from the broad market," said Task. "It just doesn't happen."
After "being left-for-dead" by some, Task said that Apple turned itself around and revolutionized a couple of different industries. "It's just a phenomenal performance."
Back to school won't save some retailersKathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute3 days ago
Kids across the country may be cringing at the thought that it's time hit the books again, but retailers are hoping the key back-to-school shopping season could give them boost they need after a ho-hum second quarter earnings season.
Target (TGT) which is still feeling the aftershocks of last year's massive data breach reported earnings fell 62% last quarter, missing analysts' estimates. The company also lowered its full year outlook.
However, the retailer said it does see signs that sales trends improved in recent weeks. "While results from the quarter didn't meet our expectations, we are seeing some early signs of progress as we work to improve results in the U.S. and Canada," Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan said in a news release. "In the U.S., traffic trends continue to recover and monthly sales are improving. Better U.S. sales have continued into August, driven by early back-to-school results."
Target misses the mark; Lowe's lowers sales outlook; Hertz hurtingKathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute3 days ago
Here is a look at some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.
Retailers are dominating the headlines this morning. Target (TGT) shares were lower in the premarket after the big-box retailer lowered its outlook for the year as it struggles to win back consumers after last year's massive data breach. Target also reported earnings that missed estimates by a penny, but revenue beat by about $30 million.
Staples (SPLS) shares were higher in early trading. The office supplies retailer posted second quarter earnings of $0.12 a share beating analysts' estimates by a penny. Revenue also came in slightly better than expected, but was down nearly 2% compared to a year earlier. The company warned that sales could fall in the current quarter as it continues to struggle with competition from big box and online retailers. Staples is also going ahead with plans to shut-down underperforming stores. It said it will close about 140 stores in North America this year.

Every priest I knew was a kind and good man, and there was no gossip about them among my schoolmates, as there surely might have been. The nuns fill me with nothing but grateful memories. Yet as I was watching this film I heard a name that was familiar to me, and found that chilling. William E. Cousins was our bishop of the Diocese of Peoria from 1952 to 1958, and then after being made Archbishop of Milwaukee, was reportedly part of the cover-up of the first publicly known charge of sexual abuse against an American priest.
There's no reason to believe he was guilty of abuse himself, but this documentary argues that the entire hierarchy was fully aware of abusive priests and followed the church's ironclad global policy of secrecy.
That first public case involved the Rev. Lawrence Murphy, who was a priest at the St. John's School for the Deaf in Wisconsin. Between 1950 and 1974, he abused young students and enlisted older ones to help him. When a group of his victims, now grown, tried to inform the church about what had been done to them, they were ignored, told to forget about it or assured that it would be taken care of.
Three Milwaukee archbishops were informed of Murphy's behavior, and one of them was Cousins. I read in an article by Laurie Goodstein and David Callender in the New York Times: "Arthur Budzinski and Gary Smith, two more victims of Father Murphy, said in an interview last week that they remember seeing Archbishop Cousins yell, and Father Murphy staring at the floor. The deaf men and their advocates were told that Father Murphy, the school's director and top fund-raiser, was too valuable to be let go, so he would be given only administrative duties."
Murphy remained a priest until his death, and continued to receive assignments and have access to children.
What makes his particular case so painful is that his deaf victims found it difficult to communicate their protests. Police and states attorneys said it was the church's business. Lawsuits were dismissed. Many of the parents of the victims couldn't speak American Sign Language, and the deafness of the school's students made it commonplace for Murphy to visit them at night, moving unheard among the boys in their dormitory.
This film (the title is Latin for "my most grievous fault") is by Alex Gibney, the leading documentarian whose credits include "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room." and won an Oscar for "Taxi to the Dark Side" (2007). It is calm and steady, founded largely on the testimony of Murphy's victims, who use ASL and whose words are spoken aloud by actors Ethan Hawke, Chris Cooper and John Slattery. He also talks to lawyers, newspaper reporters, and two Benedictine monks who have been instrumental in running institutions for rehabilitation of abusive priests.
How well that works is open to question. We learn of the Servants of the Paraclete, who treat wayward priests and whose founder once declared "there is no cure for pedophilia." He suggested to the Vatican than an island be purchased to isolate these priests from the general population. This purchase was negated, and many of them remain in service today. Given the grievousness of their sins, one wonders why the church continues to shelter them. Might it not be more appropriate to excommunicate them, and refer them to the attention of the civil authorities?
Note: Now in limited release, "Mea Maxima Culpa" will be shown on HBO in early 2013.

Scot M Lewey DO - Colorado Springs
Dr. Lewey, a gastroenterologist with Gastroenterology Associates of Colorado Springs, thinks there are many more people who do not meet the criteria for full-blown celiac disease but who are gluten-sensitive.
"For every identified celiac disease patient, there are three to ten more with clinical histories consistent with celiac who don't test positive," Dr. Lewey writes in an article at www.celiac.com. "This concept of non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or gluten-related disease (GRD) may be hard for some people to swallow, but I suggest that it affects as much as 10% to 30% of the population."
People with celiac disease have high levels of certain antibodies, which are detected with blood tests. The diagnosis may be confirmed with an intestinal biopsy to check for damage to the villi—the folds inside the intestines. Genetic testing also provides clues to the presence of celiac disease. More than 90 percent of confirmed celiac patients, and 35 to 45 percent of all Americans, carry one or both of the risk genes associated with celiac. Celiac disease is present in only 1 percent of those people, and it has been reported in people who do not carry the genes. However, anyone with a family history of celiac disease should be screened, Dr. Lewey says.
Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity
Dr. Lewey's personal experience has led him to take a wider view of gluten-related conditions. In medical school, he diagnosed himself with irritable bowel syndrome and lactose intolerance. But after his wife was diagnosed with full-blown celiac disease, he underwent testing and found that he carried one of the celiac genes. Other tests also were positive.
When Dr. Lewey adopted a gluten-free diet, his IBS symptoms resolved and his lactose tolerance improved dramatically. His 22-year-old son, whose only symptoms were seizures after drinking beer or eating bread, also underwent blood testing and a biopsy that confirmed celiac.
Dr. Lewey began consuming what he calls "a daily diet" of articles about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. These articles opened his eyes to a spectrum of gluten-related illnesses, which were beginning to be named: Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) or Gluten-Related Disease (GRD).
"I was already aggressively looking for celiac disease, but I began considering NCGS or GRD in all my patients," he says. He started recommending stool antibody testing and genetic screening to patients who had symptoms suggesting gluten sensitivity. He found that patients who adopted a gluten-free diet experienced dramatic improvements in their intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms and overall health.
One interesting question is why gluten sensitivity appears to be on the upswing. Better diagnostic tools may explain part of that, but Dr. Lewey notes that modern food production may be a factor.
"One theory says we have too many substances that make us too clean," he says. "The 'rain' at Safeway is not just to make produce look good; it contains antibiotics. Antibacterials and antibiotics are fed to animals, and we treat our water so it's safe to drink. But are we also knocking out our normal, healthy gut microbes? There is a complex interaction between foreign proteins in our environment, our gut microbes, and the integrity of the intestinal wall, as well as genetics."
Another perspective is that the gluten we consume today is not the same as it used to be.
"It has gone from wild to domesticated," Dr. Lewey says. "The downside of that is that grains now are higher in gluten content, and that probably has contributed to the rise in gluten sensitivity."
High-gluten flours are used to give the baked goods and pastas the texture Americans like. Many other processed foods contain gluten, which is used as a thickener, stabilizer, and preservative in items from hard candy to frozen dinners. It may be contained in additives such as modified food starch, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, mono and diglycerides, protein hydrolysates, and artificial colors. Gluten also is found in medications, supplements, hygiene products such as toothpaste and mouthwash, and even shampoos. Food manufacturers are starting to add gluten to even more products, such as rice, which already has been introduced in the United States.
"I think we're going to see more celiac disease because of this gluten prevalence in foods, along with the high prevalence of the genes and stress, which makes the gut more leaky," Dr. Lewey says. "The human body is going to have difficulty handling foreign proteins."
Although it has not been scientifically proven, there is some evidence that probiotics break down gluten. Digestive enzymes also may help make gluten less toxic, Dr. Lewey says. He advises his patients to take probiotics before going out to eat in case of accidental exposure.
A couple of medications that reduce gut leakage and break down gluten into less toxic forms are undergoing clinical trials and may be available in next few years.
For now, however, people with diagnosed celiac must be militant about gluten. Gluten-free foods are becoming more widely available, and support groups such as the Celiac Sprue Association can educate you about a gluten-free lifestyle.
You may have discovered on your own that a gluten-free diet relieves your symptoms. But Dr. Lewey warns that your test results may not be accurate if you've already adopted a gluten-free lifestyle.

Netflix Public Service Announcement
I am tired of all the anti-Netflix talk I have been hearing online ever since the price hike/restructuring. A lot of people seem to think Netflix just arbitrarily decided to raise the price because they are greedy. This is not the case and I will attempt to explain why. My hope is that this will help everyone have a better informed opinion on this issue.
Netflix does not own the content that you watch on it. This content is owned by various rights holders, mostly Movie and TV companies, and Netflix has paid them a license fee to stream it to you for a limited amount of time.
When Netflix first added streaming to their DVDs-By-Mail service it was a new untested business. No-one had ever tried charging to stream movies/TV over the internet in any large scale before. Because of this Netflix was able to make some pretty good deals with the content owners to stream their content because content owners did not expect this business to ever become big. This is part of the reason Netflix was able to keep it's price so low for so long. $9.99/month really was an incredible steal when you think about all the content you got access to.
Now jump ahead a few years to a few months ago. The streaming business had grown leaps and bounds for Netflix. So much so that they are betting the future of the company on it and they now view DVDs-By-Mail to be a legacy service that will eventually be phased out. The content owners saw this and as the deals that Netflix had with them started to expire they now demanded enormously large license fees for Netflix to continue to use their content, sometimes as much as 10x the original deal. Netflix did it's best to fight this price inflation but, they did end up having to give in somewhat and they are now paying a lot more just to maintain the content library they currently have. At the same time, Netflix is constantly trying to respond to consumer pressure to expand it's library by spending more money to license more content. Which of course now also costs more than it used to.
With all this, it was inevitable that Netflix would eventually have to raise the price of it's service to account for all these increased costs. And even when they did that, they split the DVDs-By-Mail and the instant streaming services into separate services so you could just subscribe to one or the other, or both. The new price is $7.99/month for each service. This was an attempt to minimize the affect the on consumers who predominately used one service or the other by allowing them to not increase their monthly bill by simply canceling the service they barely use. This is what I did. I always stream and I never get DVDs-By-Mail so I canceled the DVDs-By-Mail service and my bill is actually $2.00/month cheaper now. The only people who had their bill truly double were people who heavily used both services and wanted to keep both.
So, now that you are armed with all this new information, I hope you will realize that the new pricing structure is not unreasonable and If you are angry about the price hike you should complain to content owners like Disney, Fox, NBC, CBS, Paramount, Miramax, Starz, etc. Not Netflix. It is these content owners' greed that has forced Netflix to raise it's rates, not some executive at Netflix deciding he needs a bigger bonus.
On a personal note, I find all this uninformed anti-Netflix sentiment offensive, not only because it is ignorant, but because we should be applauding Netflix. Netflix is an American company and it is one of the last companies left that is actually trying to provide a good service at a reasonable price and is not just screwing over it's customers by trying to charge as much as they can for as little as they can, like most others. Netflix is now even investing in new original content and reviving cult classic TV shows that were cancelled like Arrested Development. All in an effort keep improving their service.
I hope this was informative.

Via EDSBS, the day Georgia fans have been waiting for: There's some serious bloodletting afoot in the Athens coaching ranks. Defensive coordinator Willie Martinez, defensive co-coordinator and linebackers coach John Jancek, and defensive ends/"part time special teams coach" (nope, no potential for trouble there) Jon Fabris will not be returning for the 2010 season.
Georgia's defensive woes have been protracted and well-chronicled, and this news will come as a relief to Bulldog partisans who saw last year's inept run defense flow into an utterly hopeless 2009 pass defense that couldn't keep guys within 5-7 yards of an intended receiver despite employing two senior corners and a junior safety. A partial list of quarterbacks permitted to look like demigods against Georgia this year includes Ryan Mallett (OK, understandable), Stephen Garcia (slightly less understandable), and Jonathan Crompton (wait, what??).
While Georgia's special teams play has been particularly atrocious (and that doesn't even include egregious kickoff/punt gaffes against Tennessee, Auburn, and Kentucky), the bulk of the blame will fall on Martinez, who was kept on past his prime by virtue of having been Mark Richt's best man, and who never managed to consistently adapt his defenses to the spread, tantamount to a death sentence in today's game. We wish Martinez all the best and do hope he catches on elsewhere in the SEC, that he might further hone his innovative "Widespread Panic Dancer With A More Refined Concept Of Personal Space" tackling strategy, the preferred afternoon delight of opposing receivers and running backs across the Southeast.

Maybe he should try some KROIL
Use Kroil for the toughtest jobs!
Kano's Creeping Oil is by far the best penetrating lubricant we have found to loosen siezed bolts. It doesnt matter if it's rusted, corroded, gummed, or cemented; Kroil will loosen it! Kroil loosens nuts, bolts, studs, pulleys, screws, pipe threads, valve guides, or any corroded metal parts. Kroil loosens any metal parts corroded by heat, salt water, chemical actions or weathering. Kroil prevents breakage, saves knuckles, and saves you LOTS of frustration.
Remove rust, mud or just about anything from your Rifle or Pistol! Kroil is used by professional gunsmiths and weapons restorers to clean and lubricate barrels and trigger mechanisms. Keep your rifles and pistol clean and in perfect working order with Kroil!.

this anti virus is simply cool, it saves the laptop
some anti viruses act as a virus which usually gives a bad taste, but, this product gives you peace of mind......
i have used Norton which sucks.......
My PC has a virus through which copy+paste only copies the folder, not the contents. This anti-virus could not detect it. I am not at all satisfied with it. The database is not yet fully updated as i have not connected my PC to the Internet.
Good for windows 7 as well as win 8. I give it 5 stars. Purchase through Flip-kart is a good decisions. I was confused about its reliability but after installed and run in a smooth mode in my desktop. Its amazing capture all the spams in the apps folder and remove all the threads. I recommended for windows 7 users for this antivirus.
Good Product (y). Takes a bit of your time installing, registration, updates and things like that and is okay if you are patient enough to wait. But once all done it runs smooth. Time of delivery as always promised by flipkart which is perfect.
It's the best antivirus i know at this rate , in this rate as a hardware engineer it's the best choice for me, and it does not available in many stores in my locality and flipkart help me a lot for me and my buisness

Lunch credit cards + kids = worries
Original post made by Elementary Parent on Sep 30, 2006
1. How can handing cards out to kids and then presumably collecting them afterwards speed things up? It probably makes two lines instead of one and may speed up the second.
2. How can we be sure that the kids are buying lunch only and no snacks, or not having 2 entrees or 2 drinks and once again, how can we be sure that they are buying the fruits and veggies? Also how can we be sure that they are not buying for friends who would rather have pizza than what they brought themselves? If we put a month's worth of money on a card and it goes in 2 weeks, what happens then?
Please don't ask me to check on line everyday. I would rather give them the lunch money and know that it is spent that day and let them have lunch at school when I know about it, not when they don't like what I have packed for them.
3. Lunchdeposit.com charges a 6% service fee for their service. This amounts in a 6% price increase to parents which seems pretty sneaky when they presumably have our money earning interest until our kids spend it and double sneaky when we were told at the beginning of the year that the price would remain at $3 per day this year when last year the price was $2.75.
4. The lunches may be healthier than before if the kids eat what is supposedly a balanced lunch from the lunch cart, but if they pick and chose only the parts they like and end up eating one bite and throwing the rest away because it tastes nasty, this can hardly be called a healthy lunch. There is already a thread here about how to get the kids to eat lunch and not play too early. This may be a means to that end, but not the one we want.
So I do have worries about this system. I would really like to see if I'm the only one.

We moved from Fremont to Palo Alto 2 years ago. At that time, Fremont unified school ditrict lunch was $1.75 and the food was decent. My kids ate the school lunches there, which was more or less the norm there, and I never have to worry about packing lunches. After moving to Palo Alto, other than pizza and spagatti days, my kids refuse to eat school lunches. And it was $2.75 here for so small quantity, and now $3 plus service fees. The property value is higher in Palo Alto than Fremont, but the food cost should not be this much higher!! Safeway, Wholefoods food prices are the same across the bay. There must be something wrong here.
Now I have to wake up early to cook and pack them hot lunches in thermals everyday. My kids are not picky eaters. My son is in Jordan this year and another reason he refuses to buy lunches is because waiting in line would take up almost his entire lunch time!!

See what Fremont unified offers now for $2.

Something is wrong with Palo Alto.
on Oct 1, 2006 at 11:30 pm
Fremont's menu looks pretty good for $2, but there's only one selection per day. Palo Alto kids, of course, want CHOICE, and are willing to pay for it. Every day there are at least 3-4 different options provided, at slightly different prices. And it's pretty darn good-- I've sampled most of the offerings, and they're actually tasty.
The hope with the cards is that they WILL speed up the time spent in line, and process everyone faster. Think we just have to give it a chance and see.
Also, a kid buys a package for lunch that includes beverage, fruit, entree-- they don't get to pick and choose, like two fruits instead of an entree. But then, there isn't anyone sitting with them forcing them to eat it all--- so if they trade with friends, that's their choice and there's little anyone can do about it... Best thing is to educate your child about healthy choices...

Research Overview
Work by Dr Day's group has most recently centered on an analysis of small colony variants (SCVs) of Staphylococcus aureus. These are opportunistic pathogens and can cause devastating infections in people. We have used simple laboratory techniques aswell as molecular biology and genomic approaches.
Many SCVs have a different mutational basis and so although they appear to be the same they have subtle differences due to the mutational loci affected. So in an analogy to the premise in the book by George Orwell - Animal Farm – all SCVs are equal, but some are more equal than others. We are attempting to define these differences and so provide an understanding their biology and so explain how they are such potent opportunistic bacterial pathogens. The 'end product' is to develop strategies to treat their infection and provide indications of potential metabolic targets for their treatment.
In the past I have looked at conjugation (plasmid) in novel and laboratory bacteria, transformation (DNA release and uptake) and transduction (phage mediated) in rivers, soil, plant associated sites. We were the first to demonstrate plasmid exchange in situ (in rivers) with indigenous active plasmids (1980-1995). Later we extended this work into the rhizosphere and showed what a common feature of microbial life such gene exchange is. The work then progressed to look at transformation, and we were the first laboratory to show transformation in situ in aquatic environments.

STATE of Washington, Respondent,
Flint G. Hastings, Appellant.
In re the Personal Restraint Petition of Flint G. Hastings.
Court of Appeals of Washington
Division III
No. 29777-2–III
August 17, 2011.
Shadan Kapri, Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Stevens County Prosecuting Attorney's Office Representing the State of Washington.
Flint G. Hastings, Pro Se, for Appellant.
Flint G. Hastings seeks relief from personal restraint imposed for his December 19, 2006 Stevens County convictions upon plea of guilty to one count each of second-degree child rape and third-degree child rape. Mr. Hastings did not file a direct appeal. The judgment and sentence did, however, contain ambiguity as to whether he received a Special Sex Offender Sentencing Alternative (SSOSA) sentence. On January 4, 2007, the superior court entered an order clarifying the judgment and sentence that Mr. Hastings did not receive a SSOSA suspended sentence.
On July 6, 2010, Mr. Hastings filed this petition in the Supreme Court, which transferred it to this court in March 2011. See RAP 16.3(c); RAP 16.5(d). Because Mr. Hastings filed this petition more than one year from when the judgment and sentence became final, it is barred as untimely under RCW 10.73.090(1) unless the judgment is invalid on its face or the petition is based solely on one or more fo the exceptions in RCW 10.73.100(1)-(6).
In his first ground for relief, Mr. Hastings claims the trial court abused its discretion in imposing an exceptional sentence by running the two counts consecutive under a SSOSA sentence. He is correct that a sentencing court lacks authority to impose consecutive sentences when the defendant is given a SSOSA sentence. State State v. Goss, 56 Wn. App. 541, 544-45, 784 P.2d 194 (1990). But his claim lacks merit in light of the superior court's order clarifying that he did not receive a SSOSA sentence.
The propriety of Mr. Hastings' consecutive sentences is nevertheless still at issue. In a statement of additional authorities filed on June 3, 2011, he cites to State v. Washington, 135 Wn. App. 42, 143 P.3d 606 (2006), as applicable to his case. Washington reiterates well settled principles that when a defendant (such as Mr. Hastings) is convicted of multiple offenses that are not "serious violent offenses" under RCW 9.94A.589(1)(b), the sentences are presumed to run concurrently and may not be ordered to run consecutively unless a proper aggravating factor is found under the exceptional sentencing provisions of RCW 9.94A.535. Washington, 135 Wn. App. at 52-53.
Mr. Hastings had no prior criminal history, making his offender score "3" for each current offense. The court sentenced him to a 102-month standard minimum term and community custody for up to the life statutory maximum for the second-degree child rape (count 1), and 34-month standard range sentence and community custody for a period of 36-48 months for the third-degree child rape (count II). The court ran the sentences consecutively for a total 136-month sentence, making only the notation "2 different victims." (Judgment and Sentence at 7) A previous section of the judgment and sentence, Paragraph 2.4 entitled "Exceptional Sentence," is left blank. And the court made no finding on the document or in any appendix supplied to this court that substantial and compelling reasons justify an exceptional sentence.
The judgment and sentence document on its face is thus, at best, unclear as to the legal basis for which the court imposed consecutive sentences, leaving this court unable to determine facial validity. The court thus orders the matter remanded to the superior court for written clarification of the judgment and sentence as to the basis articulated by the court during the December 19, 2006 sentencing hearing for imposing consecutive sentences. See RAP 16.11 (b) (Chief Judge may enter orders necessary to obtain a prompt determination of the petition on the merits.)
Also as part of his first ground for relief, Mr. Hastings claims that at the sentencing hearing on December 19, 2006, the prosecutor violated his obligation under the parties' plea agreement to recommend a SSOSA sentence. He says the prosecutor informed the trial court that the State no longer wanted to pursue a SSOSA sentence. (Petitioner's Brief at 3, 6) But a claim that the prosecutor breached the plea agreement does not fall within any RCW 10.73.100 exception to the one-year time bar. The claim is rejected as untimely under RCW 10.73.090(1).
Mr. Hastings next claims the judgment and sentence is facially invalid because the combination of a 34-month prison sentence and 36-48 months in community custody exceeds the five-year statutory maximum sentence for the Class C Felony third-degree child rape. RCW 9A.20.021(1)(c); RCW 9A.44.079(2). The State concedes this point and agrees that the appropriate remedy is a remand for the superior court to amend the sentence with respect to count II to explicitly state that the combination of confinement and community custody shall not exceed the statutory maximum. In re Pers. Restraint of Brooks, 166 Wn.2d 664, 675, 211 P.3d 1023 (2009). The court accepts that concession and orders the sentence amended to comport with Brooks.
In his reply brief, Mr. Hastings raises new claims that his 30-day appeal period and one-year period for filing a collateral attack should each be equitable tolled because (1) his trial counsel (James F. Irwin) failed to perfect an appeal despite Mr. Hastings' belief he was doing so, and (2) another attorney (Paul Wasson) was hired to pursue the appeal but took no action. Mr. Hastings contends the false promises and deception by counsel deprived him of his rights to a timely direct appeal and collateral attack.
As this court reiterated in Hoisington:
"The doctrine of equitable tolling permits a court to allow an action to proceed when justice requires it, even though a statutory time period has nominally elapsed." State v. Duvall, 86 Wn. App. 871, 874, 940 P.2d 671 (1997), review denied, 134 Wn.2d 1012 (1998). Appropriate circumstances for equitable tolling include " 'bad faith, deception, or false assurances by the defendant, and the exercise of diligence by the plaintiff.' " Id. at 875 (quoting Finkelstein v. Security Properties, INc., 76 Wn. App. 733, 739 – 40, 888 P.2d 161, review denied, 127 Wn.2d 1002 (1995)).
In re Pers. Restaint of Hoisington, 99 Wn. App. 423, 430 – 31, 993 P.2d 296 (2000).
Mr. Hastings provides no evidentiary documentation beyond his own statements to support his claim that neither Mr. Irwin or Mr. Wasson acted in bad faith, deceived him, or gave him false assurances about pursuit of a timely direct appeal. Moreover, he provides no evidence that he has diligently attempted to preserve his appeal rights prior to filing this personal restraint petition some 3 1/2 years after his judgment and sentence was entered. One the record presented, his equitable tolling claim amounts to a self-serving conclusory allegation that is insufficient to command further review. In re Pers. Restraint of Cook, 114 Wn.2d 802, 813, 792 P.2d 506 (1990). FN2 The court also notes that Mr. Hastings makes no claim that the sentencing court failed to apprise him of his direct appeal rights.
In summary, Mr. Hastings' claims that the prosecutor breached the plea agreement is dismissed as time-barred. RCW 10.73.090(1). His equitable tolling claim is dismissed as factually unsupported and frivolous. RAP 16. 11(b). The matter is remanded to the Stevens County Superior Court for (1) written clarification of the judgment and sentence to reflect the court's basis articulated at the December 19, 2006 sentencing hearing for imposing consecutive sentences, and (2) amendment of the judgment and sentence in accordance with Brooks to explicitly state that the combination of confinement and community custody for court II shall not exceed the statutory maximum. The court directs that the superior court take these action on its earliest available docket, no later than 30 days hereof. The court further directs that the State file in this court the clarified/amended judgment and sentence within 7 days of entry by the superior court. Thereafter, this court will determine the steps necessary to properly decide any remaining issues in this petition, see RAP 16.11(b), and whether Mr. Hastings will receive appointed counsel.
Dated: August 17, 2011
Honorable Kevin M. Korsmo, Acting Chief Judge
*Prosecutor's Note: The Superior Court did revisit this case and based upon written and oral arguments the trial court judge accepted the State's recommendation that Mr. Hastings be sentenced to a minimum of 130 months to life imprisonment for Count 1 – Rape of Child in the Second Degree. Count 2 would run concurrently as required by the legislature.

Review submitted: August 31, 2011 Date of arrival: July 10, 2011
I rented this house for family visiting from Norway. I wish I could have read the review of the previous renter before I rented it because it's right on the money. The house didn't look that bad when we first pulled up, but upon closer inspection it was gross. My visitors and I spent 3 hours cleaning that house before they finally decide they would not stay there. They ended up staying with me even though there was a good chance they would not see a dime back on their rental money. First when we got there there were sheets on one of the 4 beds and I don't even think they were clean. The sheets we found didn't look much better (crumpled up on the floor in the closet or stuffed into a plastic bag in the dirty laundry room). The refrigerator was half full of opened containers of food and was filthy. We ran a swifter on a little bit of the hardwood floor and it was covered with dirt. The garbage in the kitchen was half full. The one garbage can outside was completely full and the other one had just enough room in it for the garbage in the kitchen. I was embarrassed that I was the one that recommended the house to them. When you rent a house the first thing you do when you get there shouldn't be cleaning it from top to bottom, washing all the linens and towels, and putting out someone else's garbage. Welcome to America! Another thing is the washing machine was broken, get it fixed! Hey at least he told us where the Laundromat was. It's a real inconvenience to take laundry for 7 to a laundry mat. When you rent a house it should be clean when you arrive. You shouldn't have to say "Oh wow it's clean too"!!!

Let me start by saying that if I were fortunate enough to have property in a vacation area such as the Jersey shore, I am not sure I would make it available to renters. You obviously have to deal with a multitude of personalities and individuals with high expectations. That being said, I strongly rebut the previous review of this property. We returned this weekend after having had a wonderful time. Upon our arrival, we found the house, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, adjoining deck and hot tub absolutely immaculate. We literally were able to unpack the car and start our vacation. We had our small dog and two grandchildren with us who totally enjoyed the fenced-in back yard - and yes - it was beautifully landscaped. There is a lovely patio set which was perfect for us and our guests. The adorable koi pond is an added plus - and yes - it contained koi - not mosquitos. Much needed time was spent in the hot tub - and yes - it was hot and extremely relaxing. I used the washer and dryer when needed and they functioned perfectly. We had no issues whatsoever with the cul-de-sac - normal community traffic - and the neighbors I met were very friendly. The property is close to town where we enjoyed coffee, dinner and walks for ice cream. I absolutely recommend this property to couples, families with small children and those who like me, cannot vacation without their beloved pets. In the event we are able to get away next year, I will most definitely be reaching out to Bill in the hope he can accommodate us again. Bill - if you read this - many thanks again to you and your family for such a wonderful week!!

Let me start by saying that if I were fortunate enough to own property in a vacation area such as the Jersey shore I am not sure I would make it available to renters. You certainly have to deal with a multitude of personalities and people with high expectations. That being said, I seriously rebut the previously posted review of this property. Having just returned from a week at this property I had to reach out to prospective tenants and state that this is an adorable beach house at which we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Upon our arrival, the house, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, connecting deck and patio, backyard and hot tub were immaculate. We were literally able to unpack the car and start our vacation. Our small dog and two small grandchildren were with us and totally enjoyed the fenced-in backyard which was mowed and spotless and yes - it is beautifully landscaped. The koi pond was an added plus and yes, it contained beautiful koi - not mosquitos. A lovely patio set is provided which seated us and all our guests perfectly. We had absolutely no issues with the cul-de-sac - normal community traffic - not noisy - and the neighbors I met were extremely friendly. There were televisions in the living room and in each bedroom - all functioned beautifully. I did use the washer/dryer when needed - no problems whatsoever. All provided appliances operated perfectly. The home is conveniently located to the town where we enjoyed coffee, dinner and trips for ice cream. I can honestly say I have no complaints about this property and if we are able to get away next year, we will definitely reach out to Bill with the hope that he can accommodate us again. I wholeheartedly recommend this property to couples, families with young children and definitely to those who cannot travel without their beloved pets. Bill - if you read this - thank you again for a wonderful, relaxing week!

Review submitted: July 20, 2011 Date of arrival: July 2, 2011
The day before arriving at the property I had to call the owner to find out where the keys were to get in the house. They were not in a lock box usually found when renting houses. They were in a mailbox, unlocked, outside the garage. During the conversation I was also told the washing machine was broke. At the time I didn't make a fuss. After thinking about the number of people I had, six, & beach towels, I realized it was essential and contacted Bill the morning after we arrived. I asked if the washing machine would be fixed during my week stay and was told he would call me the morning of Tue, 7/5, & would be at the house 7/5 to replace or repair the washing machine. We arrived at the property around 10pm 7/2 & found a note from Bill saying the dishwasher was also broke & there is a laundromat around the corner. I paid too much rent for 1 week & this is what I got for starters. I went to take a shower & found the bathroom a mess with a dirty toilet & area rugs & dirty tub. I then cleaned the tub & shower walls. At this point my husband was steaming because I shouldn't have to clean a place I'm renting for vacation but I couln't get in the shower without cleaning it first. After this, things just kept getting worse. I found the fridge, freezer & counter tops were dirty. The coffee machine had grounds from the last person & had mold in it. There was no internet access as advertised & the computer in the place was filthy & really old. Bill said the internet access was an error made by his wife in the listing. Not all TVs in the house had cable and 1 only got the weather channel. Traffic is not light in the cul-de-sac, the yard was not beautifully landscaped (all listed in ad) - & it had weeds coming thru every crack & pebble. There are no koi in the pond - only mosquitos. The hot tub is old & falling apart, had freezing cold water in it & stopped working on 7/8. Trash cans were filled with the previous renters trash & were covered with magets. I washed beach towels at the landromat & found the dryer also not working when trying to dry them at the house. All was reported to Bill over the phone when he said he would call me on 7/5. He never called me after that or returned any of my calls. We left the house early on 7/6, keys back in mailbox by garage & left voice mail for Bill that we left house I expected my deposit and additonal monies for inadequacies and early departure. I did not receive anything back and plan to go to small claims court.
Owners response:
All this woman did was complain about everything from the start, you get those sometimes when you're in the rental business, just about everything she is saying is not true, she is making things up as she goes along..
This is my 3rd year renting this home and i have never had anyone as unreasonable as this.. I told her the washing machine was broke, her response was well who washes clothes on vacation anyway, then when more people showed up than expected it became a problem for her.. I told her the keys would be in the mailbox she said no problem, the bathroom was not dirty as she says, it was clean like always, the hot tub is fine only the heater wasn't working, the dishwasher was broken by the previous renters i did not have time in 5 hours to replace, besides what's wrong with doing the dishes in the sink for the week,all the tv's have cable , even complaining about the cul-de-sac, the kitchen was very clean, toilet was not dirty i cleaned it myself. The previous renters left some trash behind not alot, not to make a big deal over. This is a beach house , not the Ritz Carlton.. This was all written days after the renter had left the property..
