|Torey Krug enters the mix with Bruins defense banged up
|05.14.13 at 1:50 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli offered no updates on the team's injured defensemen Tuesday at TD Garden, though he did say that the Bruins will recall defenseman Torey Krug from Providence.
Wade Redden and Andrew Ference missed Game 7 against the Maple Leafs and Dennis Seidenberg didn't play after the first two minutes due to an injury suffered on his first shift. Chiarelli gave no updates on any of the three players, though he said that Redden would not be able to play if the B's were to have a game Tuesday. The Bruins will begin their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Rangers Thursday at TD Garden.
Krug is a left-shot defenseman, which will be a welcomed addition given that Seidenberg, Redden and Ference are all lefties. In 70 games for Providence this season (including the playoffs), Krug has 13 goals and 35 assists for 48 points this season.

|Bruins have no update on Dennis Seidenberg
|05.13.13 at 11:46 pm ET
Claude Julien had little update on the condition of defenseman Dennis Seidenberg following the Bruins' Game 7 win over the Maple Leafs.
Seidenberg took only two shifts and did not play after the first two minutes of the game. He stayed on the bench but was unable to play. Julien said the team will be able to provide an update Tuesday.
"We'll know better tomorrow whether it's short-term or long-term," Julien said.

|Bruins humbled by experience with first responders
|04.18.13 at 3:05 pm ET
WILMINGTON — When the Bruins hosted 80 first-responders at Wednesday's game, they thought they were simply providing a nice gesture as a way of thanking the brave bunch for all they had done for the city during Monday's horrific events. They didn't think they were making anybody's day, but they were.
In meeting with the first-responders following their 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres Wednesday, the Bruins were overwhelmed by their experience with the heroes and how proud they were to meet the B's.
"They were very, very happy and excited that they came to the game and they really showed a lot of respect," Brad Marchand said Thursday. "It was funny — not funny, but a different feeling because they were thanking us when really we wanted to thank them for everything that they did for our city and for us and for everyone who was involved. It was honor meeting them and being able to meet those guys and hear their stories of how courageous they were in a moment like that."
Marchand said it was more of an honor for the Bruins to spend time with the heroes than the other way around, but to be able to give them something to be smile about was touching for the players.
"They really expressed last night how big it was for them to come to the game and how excited they were from the moment they heard they were coming," Marchand said. "Some of the guys were telling us how they found out and just how excited they were all day long or the day before, and it was all they could think about. They said that's what they needed to kind of get their mind off things. They saw a lot of stuff. To be able to give that to them for them to enjoy and look forward to watching us play and just a few hours to watch us play and enjoy something, it's huge for us. We take a lot of pride in that. Obviously, those guys are heroes and we look up to them. They did some courageous and amazing things. We owe them a lot."
After the game, Andrew Ference and some other players took the first-responders out for beers as a way of further thanking them for everything they had done. Though Dennis Seidenberg didn't join them (his children had to get up early), he wasn't surprised to see how much the night meant to both sides.
"It's a great sports town, Boston is," Dennis Seidenberg said. "People are very emotional about their sports. When you have a chance to give them the opportunity to come to a game and get their mind off what happened, it's easy for us to do and something nice also."
|Dennis Seidenberg's late goal lifts Bruins past Senators to end skid
|03.21.13 at 10:15 pm ET
Dennis Seidenberg's first goal of the season was a huge one, as the veteran blue liner took a feed from Zdeno Chara following a Patrice Bergeron faceoff win with just over a minute to play and blasted a one-timer past Robin Lehner to break a late tie and give the Bruins a 2-1 lead over the Senators Thursday night in Ottawa.
The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Bruins and improved them to 20-6-3 on the season. The B's got the win on a night in which Claude Julien made Rich Peverley a healthy scratch, keeping Ryan Spooner in the lineup as David Krejci made his return from a knee injury.
The Senators got on the board when Kaspars Daugavins fired a wrist shot past Anton Khudobin early in the second period. After a sloppy showing throughout the second period for the B's, Daniel Paille beat Lehner with a wrister with 1:22 remaining in the second to tie the game.
The Bruins will play the first game of a home-and-home with the Maple Leafs by wrapping up their four-game road trip Saturday night in Toronto.
– Julien treated the Merlot line as his third line Thursday night, and it paid off with Paille's goal. The Paille-Gregory Campbell– Shawn Thornton line got got more shifts and ice time than the trio of Spooner between Jay Pandolfo and Jordan Caron, with Campbell playing 15:33 to Spooner's 8:17.
– Khudobin came through for the B's in the final 30 seconds of the first period, making big stops with the Senators buzzing in the offensive zone against the Spooner line. The backup netminder came up with stops on Kyle Turris, Jakob Silfverberg and Patrick Wiercioch in what was a frantic end to the first period.
– Paille's strong offensive season continues, as his six goals put his total through 69 games last season (nine) easily within reach. Paille's career-high for goals is 19, which he got with the Sabres in the 2007-08 season. His best total as a Bruin is 10 in 2009-10.
– The B's were sloppy, sloppy, sloppy from an offensive standpoint in the second period. Krejci's line blew a 3-on-1 when Milan Lucic made an extra pass to Nathan Horton and failed to connect. Later in the second, the B's were on an odd-man rush and Lucic passed to Tyler Seguin, who had turned back to go for a line change.
– Speaking of line changes, Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron were getting off as the Senators went the other way on the rush on which Daugavins gave the Senators the 1-0 lead.
– The Bruins went without a shot on goal in both of their power plays, as the B's made it three straight games without a power-play goal (0-for-8). Julien tweaked the units for the first power play, putting Seguin on the second unit and replacing him on the top unit with Spooner. Dougie Hamilton was also moved to the second unit, with Seidenberg taking his place on the point on the first unit.
|Barry Pederson on D&C: Bruins good, but 'not anywhere near hitting on all cylinders' yet
|01.30.13 at 10:40 am ET
NESN Bruins analyst Barry Pederson spoke with Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning about the Bruins' hot start, Dougie Hamilton's role, and which players aren't quite in top form yet.
"I think the exciting thing is, they've got [11] points and they're not anywhere near hitting on all cylinders," Pederson said. "What I saw in November and December of [2011] was, to me, the best I've sen a Bruins team play since the [Bobby] Orr and [Phil] Esposito days. When they were just totally dominating after those two months, and then just ran out of gas.
"That's when the Bruins are hitting on all cylinders to me — when their team defense is good, they're getting contributions from their special teams. This is a team that's right up there as the best 5-on-5 team in the National Hockey League. It doesn't take much to contribute on special teams to put them over the hump. But I think, more importantly, when you see this team playing physically and dominating teams on the forechecking game, that's when they're hitting on all cylinders."
After seeing Tyler Seguin's shootout bid interrupted by an "unidentified food object" in Tuesday night's shootout win over the Devils, Pederson offered some of the stranger things he saw thrown on the ice during his NHL career.
"Thumbtacks, some beer bottles. Of course it was crazy when beer bottles were glass," he said. "There's animals and rats and everything else. It was kind of funny there, but as we all know, one of the things you hate when you're out there playing is something you can't see on the ice and you step on it, and bang, somebody blows out a knee."
|Dennis Seidenberg a game-time decision vs. Islanders, Tuukka Rask expected to start
|01.25.13 at 11:55 am ET
Dennis Seidenberg will participate in warmups prior to Friday night's game against the Islanders and will be a game-time decision as he looks to return from a lower-body injury that has kept him out for the last two games.
"He'll be game-time," Claude Julien said after Friday's morning skate. "I can tell you I'm more optimistic than pessimistic though, but again, game-time for the right reasons that we want to make sure that he is ready to go."
Seidenberg took part in the morning skate after staying off the ice (the team did not practice) on Thursday. The 31-year-old participated in line rushes with Dougie Hamilton, his partner in last Saturday's win over the Rangers (the only game in which he's played this season and the game in which he suffered the injury). It's worth noting, however, that Seidenberg practiced on Tuesday and worked with Hamilton before eventually being kept out of Wednesday night's game at Madison Square Garden. He said Friday that he feels good and that resting on Thursday was beneficial.
"The day off always helps when you have a nagging injury, so it definitely helped," he said.
The defensive pairings have been shuffled in each of the two games without Seidenberg, but they were as follows Friday morning (the forward lines were unchanged):
Seidenberg – Hamilton
Andrew Ference – Adam McQuaid
Tuukka Rask was the first goaltender off the ice Friday, suggesting he will make his fourth straight start to begin the season.

|Dennis Seidenberg playing it safe with injury
|01.24.13 at 1:18 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins stayed off the ice Thursday at Ristuccia Arena, with Dennis Seidenberg not skating as he works his way back from a lower-body injury. It's common for dinged-up players to go out on their own even when the team isn't practicing, but Claude Julien insisted that the veteran defenseman was simply getting the day off with the rest of his teammates.
"Seidenberg didn't skate today because nobody did. Otherwise, he would have been on the ice with everybody else," Julien said. "Again, he's been a day-to-day situation. That hasn't changed. If he's practicing, you know he's that close to it. A lot of it at this time of year is about us making the right decision for the long haul vs. the short term."
Seidenberg, who has missed the last two games with the unspecified injury, told the Boston Herald's Steve Harris that it is not a groin injury. Asked specifically what the injury was, Seidenberg simply grinned and said, "I think it's called lower-body, isn't it?"
The 31-year-old practiced with the B's on Tuesday after missing Monday's game, but was once again held out of the lineup in Wednesday's overtime loss against the Rangers. He said Thursday that the injury isn't severe and that the team is just playing it safe.
"If it were the playoffs — the games are all big — but if it were the playoffs I probably could play," he said, "but just looking at the schedule with so many games coming up, you just want to be smart about it and don't force it."
Seidenberg said that the injury was suffered in the team's season-opener against the Rangers, but thathe feels good with another day of rest and that he hopes to play Friday against the Islanders.
Said Seidenberg: "We'll see tomorrow how it feels in pre-game skate, and after that we'll make the decision."

University Hospital puts volunteers in Emergency Room to offer support to patients and families
University Hospital's Emergency Room Volunteer Program is Central New York's newest initiative to make a visit to the hospital less stressful.
The program was created in response to a need identified through hospital surveys of emergency room patients and staff, according to Jacqueline Jackson-Young, director of Customer Satisfaction Services at University Hospital.
"Our patient survey results show that the clinical care provided in our Emergency Room is considered excellent," said Jackson-Young. "We want our interpersonal side of that care to be just as good, which is why we developed this program."
The program enlists volunteers to provide emergency room patients and their families with a variety of services that allow emergency room staff to focus more on providing medical care.
"Our Emergency Room volunteers are given formal training to prepare them to work in an Emergency Room environment," said Jackson-Young. "They are also carefully selected for their interpersonal skills. They help emergency room patients and their families in a number of ways such as by making calls to family members, by escorting discharged patients to a taxicab or by simply chatting about the weather to provide patients with needed distraction while they wait for test results and treatment."
The program began in mid-October on a part-time basis with a handful of volunteers. Jackson-Young expects that the program will offer around-the-clock coverage in the Emergency Room, once a full complement of volunteers has been recruited.
"Our Emergency Department staff appreciate the time our volunteers spend with our patients," said Howard Lull, 3rd, associate administrator of emergency services. "The volunteers are a welcome entity. They care for people in their community and who want to give of themselves. We can't ask for better people than that."
Emergency Room volunteers are considered an integral part of the hospital's Emergency Department team, Jackson-Young said. "Because of this philosophy, they must work a minimum of a four-hour shift per week and are required to make a six month commitment."
While the Emergency Room Volunteer Program is new to Central New York, it has proven effective in other hospitals throughout the state. According to one emergency room volunteer at New York City's Bellevue Hospital, "the hospital emergency room is a place where the simplest gesture or task seems to make an enormous difference. I spend time talking to patients about their illness and I have been told that [in showing interest] I have done something incredible for them."
To learn more about becoming an Emergency Room Volunteer or about the program, contact Volunteer Services at University Hospital at 315-464-5180.

Best Uses
Streamers were used to accentuate banners (purchased here.) We cut strips of streamers to attach to banner & at end of streamer we attached the glittered cut out hearts by using duck tape. Gave a beautiful presentation of parade theme; both streamers & cut out hearts sparkled which drew attention to parade float. Streamers are strong enough to hang (attach) most any decoration to; very easy to use. We actually tied the streamers to the banner grommets so these streamers are extremely durable for lots of uses & would be excellent to decorate any event. Loved using them as parade decorations! Will definitely order more for non-profit events throughout year!

Pregnancy After 35: All You Need to Know
Statistically an increasing number of women are getting pregnant after age 35. In fact, the number of older mothers or as some doctors like to call it, mothers of an advanced maternal age, is increasing not only in the USA but in other countries as well.
Why More Women are Delaying Pregnancy
According to statistics, one in five women today delays pregnancy until after the age of 35. In fact, over the last 15 or so years there has been a whopping 50 percent increase in first births to women over 40 years old. The reasons for this are many, but the most common ones are:
- Getting a career going – Many women delay childbirth to concentrate on building up a career first. Once on a career path, some women find it difficult to take time out for marriage and children.
- Ensuring that they are financially secure
- Improved medical treatment and prenatal tests
Improvement in fertility treatments have made it possible for women to
conceive and have a healthy, normal pregnancy and baby despite advancing age. Prenatal tests have also helped in that couples can know whether or not a fetus will have any genetic abnormalities or defects such as Down Syndrome.
Of course, one cannot forget the stories of celebrities who have given birth after age forty. The list includes actresses such as Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, and most recently 48-year old Nancy Grace. They have given hope to legions of women who would have at one time thought they had let the opportunity of motherhood slip by.
The proliferation of online support groups of and for women who have successfully became moms after age 35, whether for the first or tenth time offers added inspiration.
Fertility and Older Women
One interesting fact about getting pregnant at an older age is that although fertility levels fall, the odds of having twins increases. While the use of fertility treatment increases the occurrence of multiples, older women can also naturally have twins without medical intervention.
Interestingly, despite what anyone may think, women over 35 and in their forties having babies is nothing new. If we check back into our family histories we will find that there have been many births to mothers who were well past 35. I know for a fact that my mom and at least one aunt had children while in their forties.
Risks Associated with Getting Pregnant After 35
While it is true that the risk to both mother and baby increases after age 35, it is really not as high as you may be led to believe. In fact, once a woman over age 35 is healthy and has no fertility issues, she has almost the same chance of a healthy baby as a 20-year old. Nonetheless, there are a few things to be aware of if you are over 35 and trying to get pregnant. The main ones are:
- The risk of miscarriage increases
- Fertility levels do start to drop drastically after 35
- Health problems for the woman after 35 include gestational diabetes and hypertension, as well as endometriosis and fibroids. But these can be managed with a combination of medication and lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and exercise.
- The need for c-section increases, however, many women over 35 have had normal deliveries without the need for surgical intervention.
- Increased risk of Down Syndrome. It is a medical fact that a woman aged 40 has about 9 times higher chance of having a baby with this chromosomal defect than a 30 year old woman. Don't start to panic, in statistical terms that is still less than 1 percent, but does increase with age.
So, while age 20 to 24 is the most fertile period of a woman's life, for many this is not the right time for them to become mothers. In today's world, most 20 – 24-year old women are still studying or focusing on climbing the career ladder and in fact, finding themselves. Few are ready at this stage to start a family.
Preparing for Pregnancy after 35
If you are over 35 and thinking of having a baby, here are a few things you can do to improve your chances:
- Get a pre-conception check-up, in fact, it is a good idea for the father-to-be to get one as well. It's important to know from the get go that physically you are OK.
- Look at your diet to ensure that you are eating properly. Forgo caffeine, excessive alcohol, and drugs if you are serious about getting pregnant. If you are on any special medication talk to your doctor before trying to conceive. Make sure to add folic acid to your supplements as it has been proven to help prevent some neural defects in fetuses.
- Maintain a moderate level of physical activity. If you used to exercise prior to getting pregnant there is generally no need to stop, but be guided by your doctor. However, it is not advisable to pick up exercising as a new activity while pregnant, except for walking.
The Pros and Cons of Later Life Pregnancy
Apart from the medical issues that can occur with pregnancy and motherhood later in life, other negative issues can occur. These are few however, and include being able to adjust to the changes a baby and young child will cause to a well-structured life. However, in many instances this is countered by the joy a new baby brings. Plus older mothers know that being able to have a child at an older age is a blessing and are more than ready for any change in their circumstances. In fact, older mothers tend to be less ambivalent about their pregnancies and children overall.
It is true that recovery can take longer in older women after delivery, whether by natural birth or c-section. However, because most older mothers have already achieved financial stability they can afford to get help to assist with household chores or caring for the baby if they wish.
Pregnancy at any age comes with risks, but the birth of a precious child is a joy and blessing regardless of the mother's age.

Altoona native Brenda Tyler has something in common with her restaurant: a touch of the unexpected.
The microbiologist turned restaurant proprietor - whose 360-degree career change adds an interesting twist to her story, not to mention a restaurant so clean you could eat your dinner off of it - aimed to bring the flavor and airy feel of the Mediterranean to Altoona with The Grape Leaf Mediterranean Grill, which opened in 2012.
"You can't really tell from the outside that it looks like this in here," Tyler said, sitting at one of the tables anchored under a mural of a coastal Mediterranean village that winds its way through a sea of mostly blue and white decor accented with greenery and hand-painted stone floors.

The Grape Leaf owner Brenda Tyler poses in her restaurant.
At the dining room's center sits a fountain with a Middle Eastern-style gazebo sheltering a statue inside a round pool. On Fridays, the atmosphere Altoona artist John Rita designed is turned up another notch with live belly dancing.
The restaurant, located in Valley Plaza off Pleasant Valley Boulevard, isn't all looks and no substance, though.
Ninety percent of what they make, save such items as chicken fingers, is homemade, said Tyler, who lives in Pinecroft and has a daughter, Samantha, 23, and a son, Troy, 18.
Fact Box
The Grape Leaf
Address: 3124 Pleasant Valley Blvd., Altoona
Phone number: 201-2870 or fax orders to 201-2871
Website: www.thegrapeleaf.co
Hours: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Thursday (summer hours until 9 p.m.), 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, closed Sunday
Price range: $1.50 to $9.50
Atmosphere: Casual
Capacity: 72
Popular dishes: Homemade hummus and pita bread, gyros, shawarma, Mediterranean onion soup
Popular menu items include hummus served with pita bread they also make themselves, and their Mediterranean onion soup became so popular it was added to the everyday menu, Tyler said.
The Mediterranean menu offers more cuisine to work with because it "encompasses a good bit more," and has a "broader spectrum," of items, main cook Scott Detwiler of Altoona, said.
Customer Sharon Clewell of Hollidaysburg said one of her favorite dishes is the Lebanese shawarma, described on the menu as layers of marinated rib eye and rotisserie-style leg of lamb served to order on flat bread with lettuce, tomato, onion and a choice of sauces, including tahini, garlic or tzatziki, a Greek-yogurt based cucumber sauce with garlic and lemon juice.
Other menu items include gyros, Mediterranean pizzas, an Italian chicken sausage sandwich, a baked meatball sub and spanakopita - phyllo dough stuffed with spinach and feta cheese and baked, which is "very, very popular," Tyler said. They also serve desserts such as baklava and cannoli.
People with military backgrounds who have traveled abroad say the food at The Grape Leaf is the closest they have found to what they remember tasting across the miles, Tyler said.
"Mainly my big thing is I try to make everybody feel welcome, and I want those who are afraid to try it - we do have things on the menu that are not far out there - to just come and try it," Tyler said. "Because we have a very knowledgeable staff who ... can guide them as to what they might want to try."
Taking a chance is something Tyler knows about.
Following a divorce and her ex-husband buying her portion of a laboratory business they owned together, Tyler had hung up her lab coat and decided to attend an intense, but fun, week-long wine program in Aspen. When she came back, she taught classes on wine tasting and hosted wine dinners at local restaurants, she said.
Tyler, who enjoys the customer interaction side of the business and has a love for trying different foods with wine - which is embraced at the restaurant by welcoming patrons to bring their own bottle and tables made from wine barrels - started gaining a familiarity with the restaurant business through the dinners she hosted.
Because of her mother's marriage to a Syrian man, Tyler - who saw a lack of an all-encompassing Mediterranean restaurant locally - grew up eating food such as stuffed grape leaves and tabbouleh, which is, according to the menu, a salad made up of a mix of chopped parsley, tomato, onion, cucumber, cracked wheat, olive oil and lemon juice.
At The Grape Leaf, they make it a priority to know their customers' names, Clewell said.
"I like it a lot," she said of the restaurant. "The people here are so friendly. ... I have several things that I like on the menu too, so I'm never bored and that's great. But the biggest thing is they're friendly, they want to take care of us, they try to do it, I love the food. I think it's even rather decorated nicely."
Tyler brings that community mindedness to the table in other ways too.
A program offering free Zumba and belly dancing lessons was held at the restaurant with donations benefiting Sister Paula's soup kitchen. A women's awareness program is in the works.
"I'm big on giving back to the community," said Tyler, who hopes people will support her as a local business woman who is a native. "I think it's very important to support one another."

Fire investigators are trying to determine the cause of a garage explosion and fire Monday in Dalton Township that destroyed the structure and left a man seriously burned.
The explosion was reported around 2:10 p.m. at 3477 Beattie. When Dalton Township firefighters arrived, they found the two-stall garage knocked off its foundations and in flames.
"A gentleman was in the building prior to the explosion working in the garage," Dalton Township Fire Chief Alan Styles said. "We're not sure what he was doing. It was some sort of a flash fire."
The victim, whose name Styles didn't have Tuesday morning, was transported by Professional Medical Team ambulance to Mercy Health Partners Hackley Campus and later transferred to the burn unit at Spectrum Hospital's Blodgett campus in Grand Rapids, Styles said. The man appeared to have suffered second-degree burns, Styles said.
The garage was a total loss, but firefighters were able to salvage a vehicle undamaged. The fire did not spread to the house about six feet away. "The crews did a phenomenal job," Styles said.
The garage was insured. A dollar estimate of the damage was not available.
Muskegon Township firefighters assisted. The scene was cleared by about 5 p.m.

Dex, I have been taking 5,000 iu D3, will up it.
PianoDoctorLady, will lool into the B12 you suggested, thanks!
Oh, wow, *that* feeling. I just realized I haven't had it in ... years. I have lots and lots of signs of being low on B12, but my level was 790 in the spring. I took methyl B12 just in case anyway, to no effect. I know it works wonders for many and I was hoping it would be my missing factor, but 'twas not to be!I had that feeling, which had been so rare for years, of being ONE with the bed. It was like my sleep patterns had reverted back to those of a young person, though I was in my 60's. All I can guess is that I had been very low on melatonin for a long time, and low methyl B-12 had been the limiting factor.
Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Americans! I am indeed, very, very thankful for Dr. Kruse and the fruits of his work.

Just a tidbit on B-12, if you are on Metformin for any length of time, it's good to check B-12 because in some people Metformin can drop their B-12 levels. Doesn't happen in everyone. I had mine checked last year and my levels were high.
Hormone Profiling In theory this test will help the doc figure out what my issue is. I'm hoping that when my testosterone levels go back up that I'll be able to sleep a bit more.
They just did the largest study on sleeping in the last year. It turns out that most of us need 8 hour sleep. About 5% of the population is genetically predisposed to get 6 hours. Getting 6 hours sleep does not seem to give me brain fog or whatnot. Though when my testosterone is low I do get sleepy in the afternoon. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/ma...ep-t.html?_r=1
Some people inject B12 methylcobalamine
15mg/cc density is available from College Pharmcy (with script)(good deal)
Injections should be very shalow, if pee is red, B12 is wasted.
There is another B12 form, Dibencozide
it is required for processing Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) thru Krebs Cycle for sustained energy production.
May be helpfull during prolonged exertion.
keep this in your back pocket
adding Folic Acid
there is a possibility of genetic problems, before any testing
instead of Folic Acid try-----> Metagenics FolaPro (L-5-Methyl Tetrahydrofolate)
Other supplements may be helpful
B6 (Long story, we need dr Kruse to sort it out), there is a seven forms of B6, Pyridoxamine (best) runs thru problems with FDA.
FDA Seeks to Ban Pyridoxamine - Life Extension
as far as I can sort it out,
B6 Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate
is available OTC and helpful, but not a first choice.
THG (Trimethylglycine, also called betaine) (It is not gastric acid, Betaine HCL, so be carefull)
It is good to know your initial Homocysteine level.
Your actions should lower Homocysteine.

The only reason I can come up is they are about to acquire another company. Any thoughts anyone?
regards endo
I've heard Arun say on several occasions, including the latest cc, that he wants the company "to maintain our first mover advantage". Now since they already have enough cash on hand to fund multiple clinical studies, R and D, and hire the salespeople they need, I think we're looking at either a large acquisition or an international buildout, probably in Japan. jmo
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not much to add here other than to agree that Arun obviously has his sights set on something - either complimentary surgical imaging technology or IP/patents that perhaps run into the tens of millions or more. Funding a faster marketing launch - say 150 salespeople by YE 14, that does not require $185m. Also, the randomized clinical studies do not cost this much - and in many cases they don;t have to sponsor all of it. Perhaps they enter an intl JV where they want to retain a much larger slice of the economics, than what a small co would typically get as a margin dealing w/ Olympus, GE, Siemens, etc. It is frustrating - ISRG is a $400 stock 10yrs later partly b/c they never breached 40m shares. At some point NVDQ will grow only 13% y/y, we just negated that future yr with dilution. But I nitpick..
Why? Because the current stock price is ridiculously rich! Trading at near 30x Sales...why not raise money at these levels? Love the technology but the valuation is down right scary!
Conference call indicated multiple new studies in the near term, international launch early next year will need marketing boots on the ground overseas and they also want to add another 100 domestic sales reps next year in anticipation of very positive results from the studies. They will need 200+ marketing persons to cover the US as a minimum. Remember the statement from earlier CC--"they are expected to bring in ~$1 million in revenue (annual) per person once up to speed." Sound like they want to up the ante and grow ~100% per year revenue for the next 3-5 years.
They implied that they would be partnering any foreign distribution efforts, which is the only logical strategy - building an international marketing/distribution network from scratch would be ridiculous. Assuming they are partnering international, that would not typically require any cash - in most cases if the product is strong enough, you would get a distributor to pay you upfront for the rights. In any event, they seem to be growing revenues in line with the US marketing expansion over the past few quarters, so I can't imagine they need the cash for the US expansion of Luna or Pinpoint - they had plenty of cash on hand to handle that. That leaves acquisitions?
I would agree that the company has a great many plans in place that will cost a great deal of cash outflow. I would also agree that when money is available at an attractive price growth companies should go for it. However, at this stage, $186 million cash position seems a little aggressive. My gut tells me an acquisition might very well be part of the equation and is in the works. We shall see what we shall see.
regards endo
Or they need to pay bills..or the rent is due...or they want to do more R&D and need the $$$ for it
I agree. I think it has to be an acquisition as they could get any infrastructure improvements at Richmond financed, though I had thought that the manufacturing capacity would be adequate right now anyhow. I don't know what technology is out there or its valuation, but based on their purchases thusfar I don't see any other obvious way to spend $105M+. Anyone have any ideas on what company it could be? I know there is a European competitor out there...
They did it because they could. They took advantage of positive news in earnings, growing sales and an increasing price per share. Excellent timing for the company and #$%$ timing for the shareholders. Now existing shareholders do not know what to do. They suspect something new down the road in order to justify holding or buying more shares. The pps will drop short term and shareholders will get over it. We should have taken advantage of the two pops to $18 and then we would not be questioning their decision as we would have gained around 17 per cent twice in a few weeks. Too late for that. I will wait to see what the pps will be today and try to buy at the bottom.
Sentiment: Buy

Good News: Your Kid Is About to Become Even More Addicted to Angry BirdsJoslyn Gray
Angry Birds + Star Wars. It's a combination destined for greatness. And addiction. Whatever.
Rovio Entertainment and Lucasfilm Ltd. announced that the two blockbuster franchises are joining forces to create Angry Birds Star Wars, which will be available for download on November 8.
Not surprisingly, there will also be a massive retail launch associated with the new game, with Halloween costumes, plush toys, and apparel to show up in "select" stores starting October 28, according to the press release. As a parent, I'd just like to say that if you're going to push Halloween costumes, it's a pretty dickish move to only start selling them October 28.
But, the costumes are pretty cute, and some of the toys (made by Hasbro) look super-fun. (Check out 11 Angry Birds Star Wars Toys I Want, below).
From the deserts of Tatooine to the depths of the Death Star the game and merchandise will feature the Angry Birds characters starring as the iconic heroes of the beloved Saga.
"This is the best Angry Birds game we've ever done," said Peter Vesterbacka of Rovio in a statement. "It's the best parts of Angry Birds with all new cutting-edge gameplay set in in a galaxy far, far away," he said. He also noted that "as a big Star Wars fan myself, I'm really excited about this new universe. The Force is definitely strong with this one."
"Both Star Wars and Angry Birds share the instant and irresistible appeal of hands-on fun," said Colum Slevin, Vice President, Head of Studio Operations for Lucasfilm Ltd. "People seem to instinctively know what to do when handed a lightsaber or a bird in a slingshot, so this is a natural combination."
Speaking of slingshots, one of the toys that's going to marketed with this is a Koosh slingshot made by Hasbro, which actually sounds kind of awesome, assuming the Koosh balls aren't being shot at my head.
Note about the slideshow: Some of the Angry Birds Star Wars toys are already listed on Toys R Us' website. I provided links and prices where I could. Some are available for pre-order, and one toy (the Jenga Death Star) is listed as in stock and ready to ship. All of them are supposed to be available October 28.
11 Angry Birds Star Wars Toys I Want 1 of 13Click the arrows to scroll through!
Come to the Pork Side. 2 of 13This Darth Vader (Lard Vader?) costume will be available in Toys R Us stores on October 28.
Rebel Without a Squawk 3 of 13Angry Leia costume. I'm super-glad this doesn't come in "Slave Leia."
Swine Trooper 4 of 13Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Imperialist Pigs."
Angry Luke 5 of 13The force is strong with this one.
Jenga Death Star: Wow, that's quite the mash-up there. 6 of 13So, here we have Star Wars, Angry Birds, AND Jenga? So...many...pop culture references.
(ToysRUs.com, $29.99)
Plushies, of course. 7 of 13I kinda really want the Chewbacca one.
Jabba the Hog 8 of 13Fact: This would be better if you could slingshot-launch Salacious Crumb at Jabba the Hog.
(Available for pre-order on ToysRUs.com, $19.99)
AT-AT Attack 9 of 13I'm gonna go ahead and admit it: I totally want to play this. I can see this turning into an epic family tournament situation.
(In Toys R Us stores October 28, $39.99)
AT-AT Attack (Another View) 10 of 13It's worth it just for Angry R2-D2 alone.
(In Toys R Us stores October 28, $39.99)
Jedi Slingshot: Koosh 11 of 13This Angry Birds Star Wars Jedi Slingshot allows players to aim koosh balls at a Darth Vader target. I think it goes without saying that my kids aren't ever going to aim the balls at the target. In fact, probably no kid ever, anywhere, is going to do that. Rather, they will be aiming that at each other. We can only have this toy if we get one for each kid, and each parent, so that everyone can equally defend themselves.
Koosh 'Refills': Millenium Falcon Heroes 12 of 13These are "refills" for the Jedi Slingshot. Personally I think they're the way to go if you just don't want a slingshot in the house. I would totally just tell my kids they're for juggling.
Koosh 'Refills;: Tatooine Heroes 13 of 13Another cool set of Angry Birds Star Wars Koosh balls. These would also make great fidget toys for kids (like mine) with ADHD.

Ping 243: Time flies with Hyperlapse, Xbox features, Randall Munroe explains complicated thingsMay 22, 2015 at 7:36PM
Took this at the top of Polaris pass in the Wallowas. Shows the power of zooming.
I always hated the flippers. I wanted to see things get torn apart, not just flipped over. For my bot I think it would be cool to have a swarm of smaller bots that get released from the main bot. Each can latch on with magnets and then just start drilling in while the main bot pounds away with a big spike hammer.
The other change I always hoped to see is for them to use AI instead of remote controls.
I always carry my Leatherman skeletool in the small pocket of my jeans. Fits like it was made to go there and doesn't get in my way. I absolutely feel naked with out it so I often check my bag when I fly so I can bring it with me. That said, the cutting hook will probably cover 85% of my cutting needs (no so good for food prep though). I'm seriously interested in this. I do use my pliers quite a bit though. One issue I can see with the screwdrivers is the reach though I think it would work in most of the cases my skeletool works.
What tool would I like added? How about a led flashlight?
As much as I'm looking forward to this other advances have made it seem less important. Many of my things that used to be usb are now wireless and I no longer have a bunch of usb hard drives attached to my machine since I started storing / backing things up to onedrive. Even small flash drives aren't used as much anymore. I used to have to often sneaker-net log files etc from one system to another but now I just have them sent to a shared onedrive folder.
Having one cable to connect a bunch of things will be nice though. Bring on the progress, I say!
My son really wants a 3d printer which is a fairly big ticket item for Santa so we're going to go halvsies on it since I'd like one too.

As they pushed their way to the top seed in the NBA's Eastern Conference for the second season in a row, the Chicago Bulls did so in great part by winning the "hustle plays" and showing a willingness to do what their opposition would not.
But, as they stand at the brink of elimination following an 89-82 loss to the Sixers Sunday at the Wells Fargo Center, it is the Bulls who are seeing the grit of the 76ers.
"They are a tough team," said Bulls reserve power forward Taj Gibson. "They have a lot of guys that come off the bench and play tough. They know their roles, and they play hard late. In the last couple games it has come down to the fourth quarter, and they have shown that they have the toughness and the will to overcome."

The fact that britains' second empire and the Netherlands' first rose at the same time caused a great deal of tension between the two nations (though never real animosity like there was with France) and when they joined in temporary naval alliances they noted that dutch sailors took thier alcohol allowance just before battle, whereas the Royal Navymen drunk throughout the day.
I need some dutch courage before going down on that hairy, spotty bush!

liquor, false courage from drinking liquor(this use, like many derogatory uses of dutch, comes from a time when England was at war with Holland. However, dutch also means German, which can be confusing)
Those pussys were drinking dutch courage, thinking it will make them tougher. What a bunch of sissys!

I became the owner of Angel because one day I was playing outside and I heard a "MEOW, MEOW" coming from the mountain. So I went up on the road and spotted this little black and white kitten. Once I spotted it I called and called and called for a few minutes. Then my male cat Rusty spotted it to, so he then went up on the mountain and lead the little kitten down, and she had found her forever home. That is how I became the owner and best friend of Angel.

Big East Week 11 Wrap Up
Finally getting a conference win, visiting USF (5-4,1-4) beat Syracuse (5-5, 1-4), 37-17, Friday night in the Carrier Dome. Bulls' QB B.J. Daniels did it all, finishing 23 of 34 for 254 yards and rushed 21 times for 117 yards and a score. The balance of run and pass was too much for the Orange, who couldn't find a rhythm and fell behind 20-10 at the half. Both teams were penalized heavily – USF 10 for 84 yards and Syracuse 7 for 86. Orange QB Ryan Nassib had to keep throwing- he finished with 297 yards- because of the lack of a running game.
Breaking a three-game Louisville (5-5, 3-2) winning streak, visiting Pitt (5-5, 3-2) eked out the win, 21-14, Saturday afternoon at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. The Panthers had been slumping, losing three of their last four, but ran over the Cards' stout defense in the win. The Cats got a good day from QB Tino Sunseri and the run game, racking up 200 yards on the ground. Sunseri finished 16 of 22 for 197 yards and a TD and added another rushing touchdown. The Cards were coming off a huge win over West Virginia last week but seemed to have a letdown. Louisville made just 3 of 11 3rd down conversions and had only seven points until scoring a TD with 12 seconds left.
Rallying from a 4th quarter deficit, West Virginia (7-3, 3-2) squeezed out a win over host then #23 Cincinnati (7-2, 3-1), 24-21, Saturday afternoon. Neers QB Geno Smith once again had to bring the team back late in the contest without a running game to help him. He finished 29 of 43 for 372 yards directing a 10-play drive that culminated with a go-ahead score with 8:52 left. The Bearcats lost their starting QB, Zach Collaros, in the second quarter with an ankle injury, but back-up Munchie Legaux gave a valiant effort going 10 of 21 for 144 yards and scampering for 77 yards on 8 carries. The hero was WVU safety, Eain Smith who blocked a game-tying 31-yard FG with two seconds left.
Getting a blocked punt for a score, Rutgers (7-3, 3-2) bested Army, 27-12, Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium in New York. After Army closed to 13-12 early in the fourth, Wayne Warren came up with the huge play as Jordan Thomas scooped up the ball and ran it from 32 yards with 6:36 left to essentially put the game out of reach. Special teams and defensive play, as usual, carried the day with the D getting two nice stands inside its own 3 early limiting Army to FG's. On offense, WR Mohamed Sanu was first –rate as he broke the Big East single-season record for receptions. The ground game needs work accounting for only 118 yards but a win is a win.

U.S. Supreme Court Strikes Down Illinois Homecare Provider Unionization Scheme
National Right to Work Foundation attorneys defend home-based personal care providers forced into union ranks
Washington, DC (June 30, 2014) – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in a case over whether Illinois homecare providers can be forced into union ranks against their will.
The case, Harris v. Quinn, is a class-action lawsuit argued by National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys and filed by Pam Harris and seven other Illinois care providers after Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed an executive order rendering them vulnerable to unwanted union organizing.
Quinn's executive order mirrored one issued by disgraced former Governor Rod Blagojevich, which designated over 20,000 personal care providers as "public employees" solely for the purpose of forcing them into union ranks. Quinn then expanded Blagojevich's directive to cover an additional 4,500 providers who were not included in the original order. The scheme only designated providers as public employees for the purposes of unionization, leaving the homecare recipients as the employers for all other aspects of the providers' work.
The Court's ruling struck down the scheme, ruling that individuals who indirectly receive state subsidies based on their clientele cannot be forced to pay compulsory union fees. The Court's ruling renders unconstitutional similar homecare unionization schemes attempted in at least 18 other states.
For example, a federal lawsuit brought by Minnesota childcare providers subject to a similar scheme has been held pending the outcome of the Harris case.
"This scheme, which forced parents and other relatives taking care of persons with disabilities into union political association was a slap in the face of fundamental American principles we hold dear," stated Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation. "We applaud these homecare providers' effort to convince the Supreme Court to strike down this constitutionally-dubious scheme, thus freeing thousands of homecare providers from unwanted union control."
"We celebrate knowing that Illinois moms linked arms and refused to be bullied," stated lead plaintiff Pam Harris. "Families in Illinois can relax knowing their homes are safe from being a union workplace and there will be no third party intruding into the care we provide our disabled sons and daughters."

Man accused of gunning down couple over dog feces admits to killing the man, claims he didn't shoot his fiancée
Chung Kim, the 75-year-old man charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of Michelle Jackson and her fiancé Jamie Stafford on Monday, admitted today to killing Stafford but denies gunning down Jackson at their Abrams Road apartment complex.
Dallas police say Kim shot the two over dog feces left outside the man's apartment. According to police, Kim shot Jackson from below her balcony, then went upstairs to her apartment and shot her fiancé, who fell over a porch railing. Kim then went back outside, stood over Stafford and shot him again, police said. Kim says that's not what happened.
Kim said during a jailhouse interview this morning that the confrontation began over "human being [feces]." Kim claims Stafford put the waste at his door, then walked away. Kim claims that when he went to confront Stafford about the feces, Stafford pulled out a weapon.
"He pointed a gun at my head," said Kim, who maintains his own weapon was in a lock box. "I take his gun."
Kim says that's when he shot Stafford. But he denies shooting Jackson, claiming today that he went blank during the incident that left five children without their mother.
"The police is wrong," Kim said. "I don't know how she died. I don't remember nothing. I shoot him. I didn't shoot her. My head all blank. This man is trying to kill me."
He also denied witness accounts that he and the couple have been involved in a long-running dispute over noise coming from Stafford and Jackson's upstairs apartment.
"I've been at complex 10 years, and I didn't bother no one," he maintained. "That's a lie. People are always prejudiced."

The actress, 24, checked out of UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Hospital on Tuesday after just over three weeks, a source confirms. The judge had originally ordered Lohan to three months of in-patient treatment as part of her sentence for violating probation in a DUI case.
"She's out and doing really well," the source tells PEOPLE.
According to a source close to Lohan, the actress is now in UCLA's outpatient program, which has strict rules for patients.
"The outpatient program is just like the inpatient program, except you get to go home at night," a UCLA patient tells PEOPLE.
Due to overcrowding and good behavior, Lohan's jail term also had been cut short to 13 days instead of the three months ordered by the judge.
A hearing is set for Wednesday morning at a Beverly Hills courthouse before a new judge, Elden Fox.
RadarOnline was first to report her release from rehab.

PARIS (Standard & Poor's CreditWire) March 3, 2000--Standard & Poor's is monitoring developments following the announcement that Grupo Financiero BBV Probursa, S.A. de C.V., the 67.8%-owned Mexican subsidiary of Spain's Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA), is in talks with Mexico's Grupo Financiero Bancomer, S.A. de C.V. to develop a program of alliances and capitalization between the two groups. There are no details available as yet about the scope of the cooperation. An alliance of specific businesses that would help BBVA to develop its franchise in Mexico without significant further investment would not have negative implications for the bank's ratings. The ratings on BBVA could be revised, however, if it were to acquire a controlling stake in Grupo Financiero Bancomer....

Instead of Ohio High School Athletic Association, OHSAA should stand for Ohio Haters Society Action Alliance.
It appears the group has turned its focus from egg-headed social-engineering efforts to tear down Catholic schools and other private institutions with its ridiculous "competitive balance" initiatives, and has set its sights on individuals now.
The latest target is Warren G. Harding student Arthur Cook, a transfer from Euclid High School, who was told by OHSAA overlords that he couldn't play basketball for the Raiders. In its infinite wisdom, the bureaucracy deemed that Cook's father brought him to the Warren City School District solely to play basketball.
Never mind that it's impossible to find that rule in the amoral blob of OHSAA bylaws - and the accusation really can't be proven anyway - one question remains: Why exactly would that be wrong?
Every day, people move into cities because of quality of their schools. Why can't an exceptional basketball player move to a district with a successful program? If there's a chance this young man can play in college, why would his family move him into an area with a small school and struggling team?
I'm guessing if Cook's father moved to a community with a tiny school, the czars of equality in Columbus wouldn't care at all. Harding is successful, though - and that catches the watchful eye on Mount OHSAA.
I've heard the most incendiary words uttered by OHSAA officials by eavesdropping at various state-level events, so this type of behavior doesn't surprise me. What does anger me is that this collective decided to attack this family based on a few cherry-picked Tweets and some things Euclid High School said. In an email to me, Cook's mother, Seanine Cook, expressed concerns that her son was the target of retaliation from his former school, and was being bullied by some of his peers. Arthur then took to Twitter to "deflect the humiliation" as she wrote to me.
I have to agree with all of that. It still doesn't explain why OHSAA brought down such a large hammer. Like another reader wrote me, "I smell a rat."
Indeed ... something is rotten.
Common Pleas Court Judge W. Wyatt McKay may not use that verbiage, but he still correctly granted a temporary restraining order against OHSAA's decree. Cook was then deemed eligible to play until a preliminary injunction on Jan. 13.
I seriously hope common sense and justice (what a quaint notion) prevail. Cook is just one young man standing in the face of this giant organization, which seeks to hinder his future for no real apparent reason.
Tyranny can be defined as the use of power where one has none. That's how OHSAA is acting here, and it needs to be smacked down in this instance.
