Coon's age
Coon's age means a very long time. It is an Americanism that has fallen out of favor, and is considered offensive by many people. Coon is slang for raccoon, coined in the mid 1700's. The term coon's age was first used in the early 1800's and in fact, owes its origin to the folk belief that raccoons are long-lived. Raccoons are not truly long-lived, but their fur is quite hardy, which may have given rise to the belief that raccoons live for a long time. Because of the raccoon's bandit-like … [Read more...]

5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) is an extensively studied DNA epigenetic modification, of which number of its important epigenetic functions such as gene regulation and X chromosome imprinting are known. Improved enrichment methods took analysis of epigenetic modification to a new level, and a number of enrichment kits are now available. This application notes illustrates the high specificity of the Scientific™ EpiJET™ 5-hmC Enrichment Kit, and demonstrates how it can be used for both locus-specific and whole genome–specific analysis, yielding 5-hmC distribution patterns across different genomes.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Who Could The Bruins Trade
by Paul on 12/30/07 at 01:04 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Worcester Telegram & Gazette,
Phil Kessel's stock recently has plummeted in Boston, so maybe he's a candidate, but that might be a move the Bruins would regret someday. Sturm, Savard, Murray and Zdeno Chara reportedly have clauses in their contracts that either bar trades or restrict them only to certain teams.
And if you deal Savard or Sturm, where does that leave your already-lame offense? Murray's trade value, frankly, is limited by his age, salary ($4.15 million), and recent spotty production. Kessel, though the limitations in his game have become glaring recently, still could develop into a superstar in this league, and there are enough ex-Bruins already flirting with the NHL All-Star team right now, thank you.
That brings us back to Axelsson, whose name pops up as trade bait whenever the Bruins have a need.

What Would You Risk for Your Faith?
No freedom to pray or worship
No freedom to pray or worship
by Rob Kerby, Senior Editor
Would your faith survive under fire? The early church suffered terrible persecution – you've heard the stories of the martyrs in the Coliseum, of the suffering under Nero and in modern times, the terrible treatment of God's people under Stalin and the Soviets. Their most terrible legacy today is North Korea, the world's most repressive state, writes Melanie Kirkpatrick, author of Escape from North Korea: The Untold Story of Asia's Underground Railroad.

The Eagles To Soar Through The AAC In September. Or: God, I'm Begging You--Defrost Hell Already
"This is probably the last Eagles album that we'll ever make," Don Henley told CNN of the band's 2007 steaming shit platter Long Road Out of Eden.
Yeah, but he made similar promises about the chances of an Eagles reunion right up until their 1994 Hell Freezes Over tour, so I'm not breathing a sigh of relief just yet.
The Eagles' latest tour kicks off next Monday in Philly. They'll perform at the American Airlines Center Saturday, September 13, and tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, July 21. Oh, and the American Express Early On Sale--whatever that means--is 10 a.m. Monday, July 14 until 10 p.m. Sunday, July 20. Plus, VIP packages are available at this site.
In case you hadn't guessed, I won't be there. Maybe that would be a good night to watch a movie at home. I can think of at least one that would be appropriate...
I'd rather take that cop's abuse than sit through an Eagles concert. --Jesse Hughey

Lawmakers, frustrated by failure of tax bill, mulling what to do next
I think it's time for President Obama to declare martial law in Kansas and deploy the United Nations troops that have been covertly sequestered in abandoned Texas Wal-Marts. Between UN troops and an armed militia comprising the legions of fraudulent voters we've heard about, order could be restored in no time.

Kansas City Democrat target of GOP complaint for remarks on immigrant tuition measure
It's a general rather than specific term (although arguably "racist" is a meaningless term as there is no such thing as race). It's a fear or hatred of "the other," the "not me." In it, there's an assumption that the speaker is a part of a select or privileged group. (I guess it's weirdly reassuring to know that lack of eloquence isn't limited to one party or the other, as we clearly get preposterous and inflammatory pronouncements from both sides of the aisle.)

Kansas City Democrat target of GOP complaint for remarks on immigrant tuition measure
Arguably the bill is xenophobic, not "racist," but I suppose it's senseless to put too fine a point on any legislative colloquy that occurs in Kansas.

KU sees slight enrollment increase for 2014-2015

Proposed social media policy procedure outlines rights of those accused at KU
The term "social media" is an artificial distinction. Chit chat at the water cooler is a "social medium," but I'm pretty sure these rules don't apply there (or at cocktail parties and other social gatherings). This whole ill-informed policy was prompted by a legislator who was offended that a KU employee might have the temerity to criticize the NRA in a "tweet," no matter that the employee did not claim to be representing the university in his views.

Kansas Democrats begin soul searching, and finger pointing
You offer generalities, not facts. What's the crime rate among illegal immigrants compared with the general population? What percentage of them bring communicable diseases? Suggesting that Ebola is the same threat here as it is in Western Africa is simply not valid--no comparison. It's a fact that more deaths are caused by the "well-regulated militia" than by ISIS and others, not to mention the rise in terrorism from so-called militia groups and other "good white Americans." Give Ethel my regards.

Truly good sandwiches, quality ingredients, good menu selection. Easy parking with indoor and outdoor seating. Check it out.
Great sandwiches, very fresh ingredients and a nice selection of options to choose from. They also have a lot of salad options and other things as well. I was so happy when I discovered they sold the Pueblo Del Sol salsa and salad dressing. I buy them when ever I go to Lucchesi's.
Nice people though they are not always...
Always fresh and tasty. Many options, hot or cold, to choose from. Favorite spot for on the go lunches for traveling teams in the area.
This family ran Deli is a hopping spot to get fresh made to order sandwiches. The variations are numerous the price is on point and the staff are friendly. This is a must try for all who visit.
I've been to Lucchesi Deli probably 4 times. Each time I have gone I've felt like my ordering was a burden to the person taking my order.
The sandwhiches have been pretty good....but not amazing.
Petaluma has too many other great delis with much better service.
Heard about it while watching an SF Giants game. "Amy G" of Comcast Sportsnet Bay Area fame frequents it and has a sandwich that bears her alias: "Amer the Gamer"
Great sandwiches, a little pricey.
Visit here for some of the best sandwiches around!
Best sandwiches in town
Lucchesi Deli makes the best sandwiches in Petaluma. Period. Salads could use some work, but sandwiches make up for it. Be sure to opt for the baguette when asked your choice of bread.

We have stayed at this hotel before and once again the standards of accommodation and food were excellent. It is an ideal stop over point when travelling to or from the South of England to the Scottish highlands.
The restaurant in the evening is very good. The breakfasts, on the other hand, are Scottish breakfasts to die for. I can't decide whether to recommend the outstanding porridge (if you didn't know porridge could be outstanding, try the Annandale.....) or the full Scottish.

What a joy to find a good hotel which would accept a dog - half way between Gloucestershire and Skye.

We stayed one night. Our rooms were well appointed but one room the toilet seat was broken and the other we had trouble working the taps and had to call reception.

It's a nice hotel, clean and well kept. We often stay in Moffat when we travel north or south as it's lovely little town with most things you need. The only down side of our stay was the hotel neighbours annoying dog which seems to bark whenever it's let outside and does not seem to be reprimanded for it!

I have stayed at this hotel, Annandale Arms on several occasions and could find no fault. The idiot who complained that the restaurant was fully booked had only himself to blame. Why did he not phone to before driving 450 miles from Devon? The Annandale Arms doesn't just chuck food out of the microwave. It is not a KFC joint!

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster has a competitive price. / Hyundai
The innovative * * * Hyundai Veloster has great looks, good handling and an appealing price, but a noisy interior, poor iPod and phone compatibility and troublingly large blind spots reduce its appeal.
The Veloster's striking styling will win it plenty of fans. The aggressive front end features slots, scoops and LED running lights. A tapering roofline and scalloped flanks create an equally attractive profile.
The 1.6-liter engine struggles to motivate the little hatchback, though. Hyundai's high-profile new infotainment system also has some surprising glitches.
In a very good year for enjoyable little cars, the Veloster can't match the peppy Chevrolet Sonic turbo's performance or the Fiat 500's Italian exuberance.
Middle of the pack
Looking like a cross between an Imperial Storm Trooper's helmet and a Dustbuster, the 2012 Hyundai Veloster exudes offbeat charm, but needs refinement.
Like the departed Saturn SC coupe, the Veloster has three doors -- two on the passenger side -- to improve rear-seat access. A hatch opens in the rear for cargo.
Veloster prices start at $17,300 for a base model with a 138-horsepower direct-injection 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission.
A six-speed dual-clutch transmission -- the same type of automatic gearbox used by the Ford Focus, Fiesta and Audi A3 -- adds a surprisingly stiff $1,250 for a base price of $18,550. I tested a nicely equipped Veloster with the manual transmission, Bluetooth phone connectivity, a good sound system and power sunroof. It cost $19,300.
There aren't any other three-door subcompacts on the market, but a slew of new small, sporty cars compete with the Veloster. They include the Chevrolet Sonic, Fiat 500, Ford Fiesta, Honda CR-Z, Mini Cooper and Scion tC. The Veloster's price is competitive.
The Veloster's exterior styling stands out. The nose features a big, deep grille, LED accent lights and more scoops than Baskin Robbins. The roof slopes downward to the hatch for a racy profile.
The design creates large blind spots that add needless stress to lane changes and backing out of parking spots.
The liftover into the rear cargo compartment is high, and the opening is rather narrow for large objects, but there's a useful 15.5 cubic feet of space behind the rear seat -- 34.7 with the seats folded flat.
The rear seat offers little legroom. Headroom is so limited that a sticker warns of potential injuries from slamming the hatch.
The front seat provides ample leg and shoulder room. The controls are large and easy to use. The gauges are clear and legible. A touch screen in the center stack allows you to select audio sources, use your smartphone's Pandora Internet radio, telephone and other features.
The car's voice-recognition was inconsistent. It understood many commands and names well, but responded to "Call Michelle," with an almost random selection of names from my contacts. The system also failed to connect automatically to my iPhone when I restarted the car. I had to go through several manual steps on the touch screen for hands-free calls. The audio quality of calls is good, but road and wind noise are very obtrusive at highway speeds.
The iPod player dropped out of shuffle mode every time I shut the car off. It started over from the first song in alphabetical order each time. After this happens about 10 times, you get sick of any song, even Lucinda Williams' "Abandoned."
The Veloster's steering is direct and responsive. It handles well, tracking smoothly through fast curves.
It needs more power, though. The direct-injection engine produces only 123 pound-feet of torque, and that's not available until you rev it to a noisy 4,850 r.p.m. By comparison, the Chevrolet Sonic's turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder generates 148 pound-feet from just 2,500 r.p.m. for more satisfying acceleration.
The EPA rates the Veloster at 28 m.p.g. in the city, 40 on the highway and 32 in combined driving.
That's not quite as good as the Sonic turbo, Fiesta and CR-Z. It trails the 500, but the Fiat's taste for premium fuel will make it $70 a year more expensive to operate, according to the EPA. The Veloster has better fuel economy than the tC. The Veloster's 32 m.p.g. combined matches the Mini. Like the Fiat, however, the Cooper uses more expensive premium fuel.
The Veloster's outré looks and three-door layout set it apart, but its weaknesses reel it back to the middle of the pack.

It's not a real accurate way to measure a pregnancy, especially this early on. In my last pregnancy they didn't start til 24 weeks. They haven't measured my uterus yet this pregnancy.

It's fine. They may do an ultra sound to make sure the baby isn't too large or to see if you need to change your due date, but don't worry. With both of my previous babies I "measured big". They did the sonos and we were A OK. I am only 4'9" so it's not like they have place to go but OUR! I also had fairly big babies 8.9 and 8.6 a week early, so you might be blessed with a big baby :)

I'll be 17 weeks tommorow. My OB doctor feels the size of my uterus by feeling my tummy. The Doctor I used for my son (family doc), measured my tummy with a tape measure.. I always heard ultrasounds where more accurate anyway. If your belly measures smaller or larger, they will do an ultrasound.

Mine was bigger when I had a mc earlier this year. The dr told me it was odd, but not bad. Then she told me all it meant was that I'd have more tissue to pass aka the mc would be more painful. (Yay! not)

At 15 weeks I was measured 22 weeks! They told me everything was fine and they will check fluid levels later to make sure there isn't too much.. might mean baby will come sooner...

I measure big but did with my first too. Last appt at 16 weeks I measured 20. As long as the growth is consistent, I don't think there's anything wrong.
Posted 09/12/2012
My uterus has been 4 weeks ahead every time i go in. At 10 weeks the external palpation showed 14. Now I'm 16 and my uterus externally shows 20. They said its because i had a big baby last time and my uterus knows how to stretch out :) but they measured baby and everything is perfectly normal.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Haven't started measuring fundal height this time yet, but with my first pregnancy it was always a little larger than the "norm". Everyone is different so I never put too much thought into it. I have a cousin who is two weeks ahead of me and barely showing. I, on the other hand, am pretty big!

ABC wants Apple, Android, Windows tablets
news The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has flagged plans to significantly enhance its use of tablets in its operations, stipulating in purchasing documents this week that it wants to use Apple's dominant iPad devices, but also rival offerings running both Android and Windows operating systems.
In purchasing documents released this week and first reported by ZDNet.com.au, the national broadcaster wrote that it currently used a limited number of tablets in its operations (about 50 devices), but the use of tablets "is expected to increase significantly in the near to medium future" as it made greater use of the emerging technology.
Research published in February by analyst house Telsyte revealed that Apple sold about a million iPads in Australia in the 2011 calendar year, representing around 76 percent of the total local market for the burgeoning new tablet market category it created virtually singlehandedly with the iPad. Rival offerings such as Android-based tablets from companies like Samsung and ASUS, RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook and traditional Windows-based tablets have broadly struggled in Australia over that period, with most consumers opting for the iPad option and those businesses which have formally adopted the tablet form factor in their operations also typically choosing the Apple devices.
However, the ABC noted in its tender documents issued this week that it required suppliers to be able to sell it a range of tablets running different operating systems, including the iPad but also Android and Windows. The ABC is looking to be able to procure Apple's new iPad (also known as the iPad 3) in a model which comes with 32GB of storage and with both 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. It did not stipulate which tablet models running the other operating systems it was after.
It's not the first time that an Australian organisation has opted for an alternative tablet strategy, rather than simply fixating on Apple's iPad.
In December it was revealed that students and staff of years 9–12 at Brighton Grammar School, Victoria would each be provided with an Acer Iconia Tab A500, as part of what is being publicised as the first large Android program for an Australian school. At the time, the school told Computerworld that one of the reasons it had chosen the Android platform was its support for Adobe Flash, which the iPad does not support, but also because of Acer's reputation in the education sector and the device's ability to support some hardware features, such as an SD card.
In addition, although education departments around Australia have broadly focused on the iPad, some have left the door open to similar Android rollouts, setting liberal purchasing policies in the area or conducting trials of both iPads and Android tablets.
The ABC's platform agnosticism may also give the incoming wave of tablets based on Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system a boost. The platform has not yet been released in its final form, but it has been engineered from the ground up to support the tablet form factor, and Microsoft partners such as HP and Dell are planning to release tablets running the new operating system.
Joe Kremer, the managing director of Dell Australia, this week attacked the dominance of Apple's iPad in the tablet field, telling the Financial Review that the iPad wasn't fit for use in large organisations and that the battle to conquer the tablet market isn't over yet. The comments provoked a fierce debate on Delimiter about the manageability of the iPad in the enterprise.
If the ABC does deploy a significant number of tablets, the rollout may have the potential to change the way the organisation supports its staff in general. The ABC currently runs some 5,600 Windows-based PCs, of which some 1,300 are laptops, and some 230 Apple machines. The deployment of iPads to some staff at Australian company Brickworks has had the result that some of the organisation's laptops are no longer needed.
At the moment, Australia is in a fascinating phase when it comes to the consumption of tablets in general.
On the one hand, we have the massive current market dominance of Apple's iPad. Analysts have pegged the device's local market share at around 76 percent, but I personally believe it to be even higher. I know very, very few people with an Android tablet, and even then those that do have one often have an iPad as well, as many families have more than one tablet at this point, and many technology early adopters have several. Apple's dominance also extends into the enterprise, where small and large businesses alike have very rapidly adopted the iPad as an amazing tool to help get their job done.
And of course, other non-Android tablet competitors such as the BlackBerry Playbook and the HP TouchPad are virtually already dead.
However, on the other hand, the tablet market is about to receive a massive new rush of blood as a number of major Microsoft hardware partners such as HP, Dell, Lenovo and so on launch new tablets based on the new Windows 8 operating system.
It's worth considering that most of the iPad competitors at this point have come from companies which are not really known for their strength in the enterprise and business markets. Vendors like HTC, Samsung, ASUS and so on are more known for their strength in consumer-land and with mobile phones, and they have attempted to extend these skills to the tablet market but broadly failed.
HP, Dell and Lenovo, on the other hand (while they have consumer offerings) all have a massive presence in the enterprise IT and small business market, and I feel that this is where they will try hard to make their tablet play over the next several years in Australia with Windows 8.
Think about it. Apple, as an arch-consumer company, has struggled consistently to make headway into the enterprise, as has Google. Microsoft, on the other hand, virtually owns the enterprise at this point, with its Office/Exchange/Active Directory/SQL Server/Windows Server/SCCM/Kitchen sink stack which provides everything businesses and government departments need to get the job done.
Because of this situation, you end up with a weird dichotomy where Apple's iOS devices, while hugely popular in consumer-land, have taken a while to percolate into the enterprise, and Google's devices have largely failed, while Microsoft appears to be making inroads with, of all things, Windows Phone 7 mobile phones, which are getting nowhere in consumer-land. In short, the enterprise loves Microsoft, and this could play heavily into the tablet story.
Is the ABC thinking along these lines with its tender released this week? I doubt it. Likely its staff just want iPads at this point, and its purchasing team is keeping their options open just for the sake of it, as government-owned enterprise often do.
However, I would not be surprised at all if major Australian corporations were eyeing off Windows 8 and its bevy of hardware partners at this point, and wondering if the platform will allow them a much greater degree of control, flexibility and manageability over the tablets that they use than Apple's iPad will. And after all, I guarantee you that a chief information officer or IT manager would have no problem contacting their local HP, Lenovo or Dell account manager to talk tablets, while the same is definitely not true for the often difficult to reach and deal with (according to what I hear) enterprise team at Apple.

Personally, I think Fraser Speirs' piece 'We Need to Talk about Android' is an excellent, and rational, discussion as to why anyone considering an enterprise or education rollout of Android tablet needs to tread very carefully, ATM. Of course, the situation may improve, although I'd bet that Windows tablets are more likely to get it right (coming from Microsoft, an organisation already familiar with the vagaries of provisioning across heterogenous organisations) rather than Android.
There's some interesting and correct analysis regarding security in there, but the Android 'fragmentation issue' doesn't really enter into this situation.
Chances are, an organisation would deploy a single version of a device across all departments, providing support for a single operating system (eg. Android 4.0.3).
What kind of organisation would roll out a variety of different brands and software versions?
Honestly though, I don't think any tablet (apart from slates running Win7) at the moment can realise much benefit over a laptop. Apple devices restricts file system access, and forces it's software into your system to be able to use it's devices properly, but Android, as they're open to anyone doing anything, can be insecure. Plus, bulk-buying deals with equipment manufacturers such as Dell and HP make laptops considerably cheaper (and IMO, more versatile, albeit slightly less portable).
I agree with you that Win8 has a better chance than any current contenders to be properly fit for organisational use.
Our general Manager is pushing iPad's for a paperless office (or at least a less paper office). I've asked him about Android and even Microsoft solutions…..he said people don't want them. Well…..that's not really the point is it? Sure, you need something people are gonna use, but it's a business, not personal. Deal with it.
There's no question in my mind that the Win 8 Tablets to come are going to make a big dent in Apple's Enterprise iPad market. The market is predicting Apple's and even Android's healthy share in mobile will be significantly eroded by WinPhone. I can see it happening in tablets too with Win 8.
It'll take time, but I think those that have accepted and provided solutions for Apple will find the ease of integration with the new bunch of Win 8 tablets likely to hit the market this year and next will be preferable over all. IMO I can see the Win 8 tablet becoming what Blackberry was to mobiles when it first came along- quite a boon for business and INFINITELY more powerful than either Apple or Android…..IF Microsoft get it right.
The problem isn't if Microsoft get it right… its if Microsoft AND Acer AND Asus AND Dell AND Samsung AND (insert rest of list of OEMs here) get it right. Microsoft may well produce a great alternative tablet OS to iOS, but be let down by the implementation by device manufacturers.
I still think Microsoft needs to just buy Nokia outright and make them the sole distributor of Windows RT/ARM tablets… unlikely to happen given the blowback they'd get from the rest of the OEMs but it feels like controlling both the hardware and the software a la Apple is the right way to go in the phone/tablet space.
"I still think Microsoft needs to just buy Nokia outright and make them the sole distributor of Windows RT/ARM tablets"
Wouldn't do them any good. It'd be great for WinPhone 8 (Apollo) but useless for Windows 8. Nokia have NO IDEA how to build a good tablet or a hybrid. They don't even have ACCESS to the parts required to build a tablet on x86 specs. They NEED the other OEM's because Samsung, Asus, Acer, Dell (not really Dell actually) and (insert rest of OEM's here) KNOW how to make good tablets/hybrids. They've been DOING it for many years in some cases.
Why are ABC so damn stupid. Why spend on all three when u only need to bUY one samsung and dual boot windows /android on one machine. How dum are these people. Apple for Apples sake.
Perhaps ABC's end user base utilises a range of technology and ABC would like to gain familiarity across the different platforms. I applaud them for this approach. The ABC web site is one of the best in Australia and deeper consumer device knowledge can only make this better. While android may not appear on too many active tablets, it is on a lot of big screen phones.
Strange, I see nothing but android tablets with the geeks I hangout with.
I'd say 76% sounds about right.
The other 24% are real nerds.
It's actually quite encouraging that only 76% of tablet users are mindless sheep.
I do get the feeling that a lot will change with the release of Windows8.
Tablets carrying windows will use windows software and most programmers in business and government are vers competent at programming for windows.
I also see the benefit of touchscreen on desktops and see a future quite close where touchscreens for those are commonplace and inexpensive.
Mouses have been faithful friends and will still be quite necessary when doing many things but good knowledge of keyboard shortcuts as well as a touchscreen will certainly be advantageous later this year.

The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) will soon open the Sahara Express, the valley's newest bus rapid transit (BRT) service. The new BRT line will include dedicated transit lanes along much of Sahara Avenue, one of the busiest transit corridors in the Las Vegas Valley. In addition, the project will improve the experience of transit customers by featuring new solar-powered transit shelters, ticket vending machines, wider sidewalks, elevated station platforms and enhanced landscaping. These features, along with traffic signal upgrades, will improve travel for pedestrians, cars and transit riders. Operated with double-deck buses, the Sahara Express will extend its value by operating branches on both the east and west ends of the Valley to best serve residential neighborhoods. The Sahara Express will begin service on May 20. The RTC received $34.4 million in federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for the project. The project helped spur local economic growth by creating or sustaining an estimated 500 private-sector jobs and improving mobility along one of the valley's most important corridors.

The changes are aimed at improving bus operations and reducing congestion in the terminal that can stretch back out into the inbound Lincoln Tunnel and beyond.
The 8.3-mile route, with a proposed 27 stops, would replace the Capital Area Transportation Authority's current Route 1 from downtown Lansing to the Meridian Mall. Results from the plan's environmental assessment study are expected to be shared at a public hearing this fall.
Left on purpose without upholstery option, each double seat weighs only 45 lbs. yet provides an optimum of comfort for riders through its ergonomically formed design. The slim contour of the seat's back offers a maximum of legroom for passengers and enhanced accessibility getting in and out of the seat.
The latest equipment purchase in a 33-year relationship, the $395 million order for clean diesel, cruiser-style coaches will offer NJ TRANSIT riders three-point seatbelts and comfortable forward-facing seating for 57 passengers.
The agency has a growing fleet of environmentally friendly New Flyer CNG buses and with these awards will increase their active New Flyer fleet to 556 vehicles.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Doug MacLean Takes On Advisor Role For Balsillie
by Paul on 09/10/09 at 09:52 AM ET
Comments (0)
via Sportsnet,
If Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie is successful in his bid to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes through bankruptcy court, it appears he is getting ready to hit the ice running.
Sportsnet has learned Balsillie will soon name former Columbus Blue Jackets president and current Roger Sportsnet panellist Doug MacLean an advisor to Balsillie's company PSE.
MacLean, who brings 22 years of hockey experience to Balsillie's team, is expected to help bridge the gap between getting the Coyotes out of the courts and on to Hamilton ice in the event Balsillie lands the team.

CANTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/29/14 -- Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative treatments for chronic pain, today announced that it has identified candidates for its Hydrocodone DETERx® development program. Collegium is currently conducting in vitro testing on these candidates utilizing a robust screening process developed during testing of more advanced products that incorporate the DETERx® technology platform. DETERx® is a novel, patent-protected drug delivery technology that is designed to maintain the extended-release (ER) and safety profiles of highly abused drugs following various methods of abuse and tampering employed by drug abusers such as crushing, chewing, snorting, and IV injection. Three opioids have already been tested in the DETERx® platform and have demonstrated superior abuse-deterrent performance versus the marketed reference products. Two of Collegium's lead candidates, Oxycodone DETERx® and Oxymorphone DETERx®, have been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA.
There is currently no abuse-deterrent formulation of hydrocodone on the market. Following the advice of the FDA and Department of Health & Human Services, in February 2014, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published a proposal to move hydrocodone combination products (HCPs) from Schedule III to Schedule II. Rescheduling HCPs, a drug class with approximately 130 million prescriptions in 2013, will move HCPs to the same scheduling as OxyContin® and other ER opioids.
"There is a significant market opportunity and unmet need for a differentiated, abuse-deterrent formulation of extended-release hydrocodone. We expect Hydrocodone DETERx® to provide similar advantages and unique product characteristics as our lead analgesic in development, Oxycodone DETERx®. These features include abuse-deterrent properties that may decrease oral abuse (e.g., crushing, breaking, grinding), intranasal abuse, and abuse by injection. In addition, the microsphere-in-capsule, oral formulation may be sprinkled directly into the mouth, sprinkled onto soft foods, or delivered via feeding tubes. These alternative dosing options have the potential to fulfil a critical unmet medical need for individuals with aversion to, inability, or difficulty swallowing intact tablets, including patients with chronic pain with dysphagia (CPD), who currently have limited options for pain control," said Michael Heffernan, CEO of Collegium.
About Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc.
Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing a portfolio of products that incorporate its patent-protected DETERx® formulation platform for the treatment of chronic pain. The DETERx® oral drug delivery technology provides ER delivery, unique abuse-deterrent properties, and flexible dose administration options.

Kvyat preparing for step in to the unknown
Daniil Kvyat admits it will be a step in to the unknown for him driving the 2014 cars in pre-season testing.Having raced in GP3 last season, Kvyat has had very limited running in the previous generation of Formula One cars. After the launch of Toro Rosso's STR9, Kvyat said he thought the driving styles would still be similar between this and last year's cars, and that he is likely to have a lot of learning to do during testing."Some things will change in the driving – I think it's going to be quite different – but not too much to be honest," Kvyat said. "I don't believe it's going to be like 'wow, it's a huge change'."In the end you have to still drive fast to understand where...

6pc dolphin fitted sheet set Tina from Edgewood, MD on 11/10/2014 – Verified Buyer
I collect dolphins. Seen that you had a couple on your site. I ordered the blue Atlantic dolphin set and when I received it I had noticed that when making the bed the comforter wasn't what I thought or expected. I now have to find a blanket or something to put in this snappy thing they call a comforter/cover. All though I love dolphins I won't be returning it but can't use the so called comforter cause it's not what a comforter that I know of is. The price was a little high thought it was worth it till like I said I received it and there is no comforter just a cover. What a very disappointment to my surprise. But thx anyways will think twice long and hard if I still want to get the orange dolphin sunset sheet set that I was also gonna get but was out of order at the time. Not sure now.
Matches Picture Shown Perfectly! Elizabeth from Niagara Falls, ON on 05/26/2015 – Verified Buyer
I ordered this for a Christmas Present for our Granddaughter. She can't have before Christmas, I was impressed by the excellent packaging that it came in, truly Dolce! My Granddaughter is so taken with Dolphins, to the point that she wants to be a Marine Biologist. I am very pleased with my choice of Comforter and Pillow Shams! My Granddaughter is 11 years old!
