Academic traditions continue growth
Editor's note: This is a series of columns by John Malcolm on his "50 years at Fredonia." Retired, he is a professor emeritus at Fredonia State.
I also spent a bit of time helping finish the restoration of the Fredonia 1891 Opera House, including the installation of stage lights and a sound system.
There is a short media presentation on my sabbatical to supplement the written report but I doubt if many have seen it.
You can be sure that there will be some kind of media supplement to this paper.
I was using the presidents of Fredonia as an outline and I haven't done much on President Dennis Hefner. I only worked for him for three years and participated as Mace Bearer in his installation and two of the graduation exercises that he presided over.
Based on his tenure at Fredonia I would put him in the classification of a Leslie Gregory. He has gotten more "stuff" for this college and it is good stuff. He's replaced the swimming pool, gotten a new recital hall, organized a remarkable rework of Cranston Hall plus numerous restoration projects like the roof of Mason Hall, a new heat transmission system, and many, many other physical projects. Who would have imagined a soccer stadium with Astroturf?
This doesn't mean he let down on the academic side. Fredonia is consistently highly rated as the place to go to college – nay, it's now called a university.
I wish he had pressed more for the use of radio and television. I had high hopes when one day he dropped into the Thompson TV Studio and I gave him a tour of what I called "Magic Land."
That's something else done in the last ten years. I taught basic TV studio production. By this time our cameras were in color and recording was a breeze. Not only that we had unlimited access.
I constantly pushed the students to stretch the resources. We could move the cameras outside to a small garden, use the loading dock as a platform, we could even do live remotes. One of my students, Kimberly Munn, who has gone onto great things, did a live remote of her giving blood in the Campus Center. We also did a live remote from the rear of the Marvel Theatre during a live production.
It is a big disappointment to me that with all the events on campus that few ever get sent to the public that is helping to pay for it. There are chinks in the armor with the use of computer transmission and hopefully there will be a revival of the enthusiasm I felt in the '50s.
Just recently, I read about student Mike Reilly's staging of an original play on Channel 12 in Erie. (In the 50-year retrospective.) Mike went on to a professional career in acting and appeared in a featured role in a network presentation of "Our Town."
John Malcolm is a Fredonia resident.

Product Description
This powerful book is essential reading for any serious believer. It reconnects Christians with the unshakable tenets of their faith--truths that offer all true Christians a ground for faith in uncertain times.
But this book also does something else: it presents to the nonbelievers, the cynic, and the skeptic a winsome picture of what Christianity really is--the greatest proposal ever given humanity. This book has already lead to the conversion of many skeptics and cynics. Filled with moving stories, this is a thought-provoking, soul-searching manifesto of the great truths of Christianity that have built and sustained Western society and called believers to heroic action through the centuries. Paperback.

Publisher's Description
Rightly understood and rightly communicated, the Christian faith is one of great joy. It is an invitation to Gods kingdom, where tears are replaced by laughter and longing hearts find their purpose and their home. This is the heart of the gospel: Gods search to reclaim us and love us as his own. But have we truly grasped this? Those of us who have disdained Christianity as a religion of bigotryhave we repudiated the genuine article or merely demonstrated our own prejudice and ignorance? Those of us who are Christianshave we deeply apprehended the mission of Jesus, and do our ways and character faithfully reflect his beauty? From the nature of God, to the human condition, to the work of Jesus, to Gods coming kingdom, and all that lies between, how well do we understand the foundational truths of Christianity and their implications? The Faith is a book for our troubled times and for decades to come, for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is the most important book Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett have ever written: a thought-provoking, soul-searching, and powerful manifesto of the great, historical central truths of Christianity that have sustained believers through the centuries. Brought to immediacy with vivid, true stories, here is what Christianity is really about and why it is a religion of hope, redemption, and beauty.
Chuck Colson was a popular and widely known author, speaker, and radio commentator. A former presidential aide to Richard Nixon and founder of the international ministry Prison Fellowship, he wrote several books that have shaped Christian thinking on a variety of subjects, including Born Again, Loving God, How Now Shall We Live?, The Good Life, and The Faith. His radio broadcast, BreakPoint, at one point aired to two million listeners. Chuck Colson donated all of his royalties, awards, and speaking fees to Prison Fellowship Ministries.
Harold Fickett is the author of numerous books, including an acclaimed novel about the evangelical experience, The Holy Fool; a critical biography of Flannery OConnor, Images of Grace; and the inspirational Living Christ. He is a cofounder of Image: Art, Faith, Mystery, a journal devoted to the intersection of the arts and religion. He is a contributing editor of the web magazine GodSpy (www.godspy.com) and writes regularly for such publications as Books & Culture and Crisis. Fickett made contributions to Colsons projects for twenty-five years, beginning with Loving God and most recently in The Good Life. He speaks regularly at conferences and retreats. He and his wife, Karen, live in Nacogdoches, Texas, with their children, Will and Eve.

This home has been in our family for over 50 years and is a beloved gathering place for friends and family. As our children have grown and our travel to visit them increases, we've decided to share the warmth of our home so others can create their own wonderful memories!
Swimming, sailing, tennis, golf, shopping, visiting the Cape Islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard as well as the many historical villages along Route 6A. Simply relaxing on a hammock reading or enjoying the ocean view is another favorite activity.
This property is beautiful. It was so perfectly clean and lovely. The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need. The owners were wonderful to work with as well. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous house with us!
Our entire family comprised of 4 adult children, spouses and 2 babies and grandparents stayed in the lovely Greylady last week . It was a lovely home with large kitchen and two large tables to accommodate our large family dinners. The family room with the grand stone fireplace made a perfect area to play games , read and bond!!! The wrap around outdoor and indoor porch was a favorite area to enjoy quiet time. The home has an ocean view throughout with a cool breeze circulating the rooms. Finally, the owners are very gracious , kind, and assured all was perfect for the week. We would recommend this beautiful home for any season!!!!!
This house is fabulous. You get a real sense of the true Cape Cod. Our group of eight loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee before heading out to Provincetown, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. All easily accessible from the house. October is the perfect time of year. We had more than enough room for eight. Enjoyed the fireplace at night while playing games. It was a pleasure working with the owner. She was always very helpful and gave great ideas for sightseeing. I would rent it again in a second. Thanks for making the trip a true Cape Cod experience.
The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our family vacation. The location was wonderful and close to the most peaceful beaches with great sand and waves (for all ages). Very accessible to the town, shopping, movies & restaurants (and mini golf)! We had an amazing week and would definitely stay here again. The kids had so much fun and are already asking to go back. We loved our time here!!! Everyone was fabulous that we spoke with while planning and during our trip and it was like dealing with family!
Our week was absolutely perfect! And this house set the stage for our family's girls get together. Aunts and cousins gathering together for a week to catch up and make new memories - this house couldn't have been more perfect for us. Having all the bedrooms and baths on the same floor was perfect to continue our fun and conversations first thing in the morning and late into the night. The kitchen was very accommodating and the lovely dining room just made us feel so at home and cozy. The wrap around porch was perfect for any time of day whether to dodge the warm sun or bask in it. The porch was perfect for an evening happy hour viewing the Hyannis Harbor and watching the day come to a close.
The description and pictures are lovely, but when you see the house in person it's 10 times lovelier! We all had a good time chatting about what fun it would have been to grow up in that house.
Our first time using VRBO and it was such a positive experience. The owner was more than friendly to deal with and I hope I get the chance to meet her some day! Such a warm friendly personality! I too am like the recommendation above me and hesitate to recommend this house too highly because you want to keep a good thing a secret for yourself! Thank You so much for sharing your home with us!
Splendor is the only one word I can say. This home has a life. It is so condusive to relaxation. I felt totally transcended from the day to day hustle and bustle. It was like being in a beautiful comfy farm house, but you look out the door and see the Atlantic! It is one block from the Kennedy compound and is surrounded by history. (If those walls could talk). I closed my eyes and tried to imagine all the gatherings that have taken place over the years!
We had a total group of eight and had plenty of space for all of us! Functionally there are two tables that can easily seat 10! We had a lobster fest the day before Memorial Day and adorned the front porch facing the Atlantic with an outside table setting! We toasted and kicked off the Summer of 2012. With 8 of us, the cost was realatively very reasonable. And location, location, location. It does not get much better!
I highly recommend Spanky's for the best fish stew I have ever tasted!! It was wicked good!!
The sister owners are wonderful landlord hosts! We will be back!
The Pittsburgh Crew!!

Peer Review of Learning and Teaching
Peer Review of Learning and Teaching (PRLT) is a pan-University activity for all staff whose role directly impacts on the student learning experience. It is an opportunity for staff to take part in an annual, scholarly, peer-assisted reflection on the breadth of their teaching/learning support practice. PRLT considers both professional development and commitment to the enhancement of the student experience, and goes beyond classroom observation to cover all aspects of learning and teaching practice.
The following resources have been identified or developed to offer a starting point for discussion and local implementation of PRLT. The external resources have been selected because their underpinning ethos matches that of Cardiff University's PRLT.
The resources are offered as ideas for practice and local adaptation.

There wasn't a whole lot to see in the town, which in itself made me like the place, in that case its more about felling the city than ticking off landmarks. It was a bit strange walking along Albert St, Queens Rd, ...

I caught the tail end of the mayor's speech, which appeared to be as long as a Peter Jackson movie, and then a Government Minister made what he promised would be a brief address (another politician's promise).

Dognappings Happening in Shreveport and Bossier

Kellar is definitely not your average dog. The three-year-old English springer was born blind, but that has not deterred him from playing fetch.
My baby, Tiger is not happy today.
When they found out their service dogs would not be allowed to dress up for their graduation ceremony, two students hit the woof, er, roof.
These days, it seems like dogs are getting more and more into the dressing like a human game. That or we're just getting more obsessed with clothing our canines in mini versions of stuff we wear. (The latter is true.) Either way, there are zero complaints on our end, because the results are just so stinkin' cute.
If you are a cat owner, you may have received the gift of a rodent or bird at some point. When this happens, your cat is happy and they feel that they have done something good. There are plenty of wives-tales about how cats like to smother babies, but it seems as though New Zealand wishes to humanely wipe cats completely off the island.
Don't get me wrong, the Krewe of Barkus and Meoux have a good time, but their mission is serious
When former Marine Shaun Duling met Bolt, a stray Labrador-shepherd mix, the little fella was skittish and hungry. Duling was doing contract work in Afghanistan with a German military unit, and while the Germans had adopted Bolt's sister as their mascot, the less-outgoing Bolt was mostly ignored.
Can you smell what this 'Elmo the Cat' is cookin'? Or better yet, 'Buddy' is dancing like Donkey from Shrek with his one ear up signifying, 'Pick me, ooh ooh, Pick me!' Both of these personality favorites and many more like them are waiting to be adopted into your home.
We all love our pets. I love my Breeise, who's really a glorified mutt Bost0n Terrier French Bulldog mix, but I know I wouldn't be able to offer the kind of reward Matt Fusco is offering for his lost Ivy, a spotted Savannah cat.
The parents of 5-year-old Scotty Meyer, who suffers from autism, were fear stricken when they realized their son had disappeared. The family officially reported him missing midday last Tuesday, convinced that he had slipped out of the house while their air conditioning was being repaired. Fortunately, he was found the next morning thanks to the help of one furry little guy on four legs — an 8-year-old Golden Retriever named Autumn.
We all hate getting bills to the point where some of us will even hide them in the freezer to put them completely out of sight and therefore out of mind. Volunteer mailman Steve Score of Minnesota's Emmanuel Nursing Home has the unfortunate job of delivering such mail, but it looks like he's found the most effective way of passing along these letters and all it took were some adorable little ducklings.

Honeymoon in Vegas
- Directed by Andrew Bergman
===Story=== Writer-director Andrew Bergman is capable of funny, funny stuff, but this movie runs out of jokes long before it runs out of comic ideas. The result is a series of comedy concepts that never get past the one-liner stage and are distinctly unsatisfying. Still, there is plenty to be amused by in this story of a reluctant bridegroom (Nicolas Cage) who finally agrees to marriage, only to lose his fiancée (Sarah Jessica Parker) in a crooked poker game to a professional gambler (James Caan). The rest of the movie deals with his frantic attempt to get his fiancée back, while coping with a Vegas in the throes of an Elvis-impersonator convention. That's the funniest thing about the whole movie (most notably the team of parachuting Elvises at the end), but even that is drawn out in ways that are more clever than laughter inducing.

Raised in the foothills of the mystical Blue Ridge Mountains, I attribute my love of beautiful landscapes and fascination with all things paranormal to my environment. The settings and characters in my novels reflect my appreciation for natural beauty as well as a desire to explore the what-if's of things unseen. Throw in a degree in Psychology paired with a strong interest in the workings of the criminally insane mind and you have a breeding ground for a psychological thriller.
Becoming an author was not a conscious decision; I've always been a writer. Channeling a passion for story-telling into my livelihood required a giant leap of faith, one that I'll never regret as I truly love what I do.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy antiquing, bead-weaving and sharing time with my incredible daughter and our two spoiled-rotten cats.

Kris is a successful video editor in Charleston, South Carolina with two best friends she's made her own family with. She has a beautiful beach house and a loving fluffy cat named Pegasus. She also just so happens to be precognitive. Her visions have never been about herself until she starts sensing that she is being watched, receiving late night phone calls, and finding flowers left at her house and on her car. Increasingly, she realizes she is in danger, and right then her old college flame moves in next door.
Kris is a relatable heroine without going over the top. She's no quivering violet, but also no Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Similarly, her love interest is kind and handsome without being sparkly and perfect. The plot is entertaining and modern. It keeps the reader guessing without forcing any characters to act stupid.
All of that said, Grace shows promise as a writer, but she still needs to work on her craft. Her plot structure is excellent, but she frequently shows instead of tells. Similarly, she struggles a bit when first introducing a character, often falling back on the beginner writer's method of explaining hair and eye color before anything else. Similarly, the book needs more editing for simple grammar, spelling, and typos.
Overall, this is an interesting mix of suspense, romance, and paranormal that keeps the reader guessing and interested and shows promise in the writer.

*** D I S C L O S U R E *** I received a copy of this book for free to review.
Pretty good formatting and spell checking for an indie e-book -- I was pleasantly surprised.
The story is fairly predictable, but in romance that's not really a minus -- girl meets boy, they face adversity/are separated (bonus -- this had BOTH these plot points!), they overcome, they live happily ever after in a committed relationship.
The writing was good enough that I only noticed ~the writing~ once or twice. My issue with most indie books is that the writing is bad enough to make me notice the words rather than the story. This book didn't suffer from that.
I did think it could stand to be a little longer, and the foreshadowing of the romances to come in the other two books of the trilogy was a bit heavy-handed at times. All in all, a fluffy, fun little romance for fans of old-school Harlequin romances; sex is minimal and tame. Not quite enough heft to be a beach read -- more like a commuter read; something you can pick up and put down while on the train or bus and not worry about missing something if your attention occasionally wanders.
I was invested enough in the characters by the end to buy the second and third books to find out what happens next.
3.5/5 (I rounded up since Smashwords won't let me give half a star).

I really enjoyed this book. I was able to relate to all the characters. The author really drew me into the dreams Kris is having about being chased by someone that's trying to kill her. I love the fact that her dreams are warnings about what is going to happen. She is able to piece together clues that helps save her and her guy in the end. I stayed up all night reading this one. Well worth the time!

Kris has two great friends in Roni and Grace. She lives in a beach house with her cat Pegasus. Her job is going great and an old flame moves into the empty beach house next door. Can everything really be this good? Maybe not. Kris is a precognitive. So when she starts having disturbing dreams she can't get past the feeling that something just isn't right. Kris finds out that she should always trust her feelings. Her feelings for her old flame Nick are being rekindled just as someone unexpected sets their sights on her. Kris discovers that she is the latest obsession of a stalker/serial killer. Can her visions help her in time or will Nick lose her a second time?
I loved this fabulous story. This book was a page turner that hooked me from page one. There was just the right amount of suspense to keep me on the edge of my seat. Tallulah Grace wrote some good characters that I want to continue to read about. Now that the story of Kris is complete I can't wait to read Roni and Grace's stories. They are sure to be just a wonderful as this one was. I am sold and think everyone should buy into these stories. The Timeless Trilogy is sure to please all.

Steep Rise in Births to U.S. Women Using Opioids
Posted 6 days ago by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Jan. 17, 2017 – Over a decade, there was a nearly fivefold increase in the number of babies born each year to American women who have used opioids, a federal government report says. There was also a dramatic rise in the number of infants born with a dependency on opioids, the report found. These drugs include heroin and prescription painkillers such as fentanyl, oxycodone (OxyContin) and hydrocodone/acetaminophen (Vicodin). "It is critical that pregnant women of all ages have access to prevention, treatment and recovery services that meet their specialized needs," said Kana Enomoto, from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). "Programs that provide pregnant women with access to opioid use disorder treatment and reproductive health services can help ensure that these future mothers and their children live healthier, happier, and more ...

Kids Born to Opioid-Addicted Moms Seem to Fare Poorly in School
Posted 7 days ago by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Jan. 16, 2017 – Children exposed to addictive drugs in the womb may be more likely to perform poorly in school, Australian researchers report. In the study, these exposed kids lagged behind their peers on grade-level tests of reading, writing, math, spelling and grammar. By seventh grade, about 38 percent failed to meet test standards in at least one of these areas. The study authors said their paper is the first to examine academic results in children with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) – when a fetus is exposed to drugs in the womb. It's a rapidly growing public health problem fueled by the global opioid epidemic. In the United States, it's estimated that an NAS infant is born every 25 minutes, the study authors said. Opioid painkillers such as morphine, Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen), OxyContin (oxycodone), Vicoprofen (hydrocodone/ibuprofen), and the illegal opioid ... Read more

Innovative Programs Help Addicts Get Off Opioids
Posted 22 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 21, 2016 – People trying to kick addiction to heroin or prescription painkillers often wait weeks or months before they can get into a treatment facility, putting them at continued risk for a fatal overdose. Now, two innovative programs attempt to get addicts the help they need as quickly as possible. Police in Gloucester, Mass., created an "Angel Program" that encourages opioid addicts to come to the department, with no threat of arrest, so officers can get them placed in local treatment programs immediately. Meanwhile, researchers in Vermont started prescribing the anti-addiction drug buprenorphine to people placed on a waitlist at a treatment clinic, to try to tide them over. Both programs reported promising results in the Dec. 21 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Gloucester police got about 95 percent of people who came to the department with a substance ...

Daily Low-Dose Aspirin May Cut Pancreatic Cancer Risk
Posted 20 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Dec. 20, 2016 – There's evidence that daily low-dose aspirin may decrease the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a new study. The Chinese-based study couldn't prove cause-and-effect. However, "the balance of evidence shows that people who use aspirin to reduce risk for cardiovascular disease or colorectal cancer can feel positive that their use likely also lowers their risk for pancreatic cancer," said study lead author Dr. Harvey Risch. He's professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Conn. According to the American Cancer Society, about 53,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year, and almost 42,000 will die from the disease. Pancreatic cancer is often a "silent killer" because symptoms do not emerge until the tumor is advanced. The new study tracked 761 people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer ... Read more

Drug Overdose Deaths Climb Dramatically in U.S.
Posted 20 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Dec. 20, 2016 – Drug overdose deaths continue to surge in the United States, with most fatalities linked to the illicit use of prescription painkillers, new government statistics reveal. Drug overdose deaths increased 23 percent between 2010 and 2014, with more than 47,000 Americans dying in 2014, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data released Tuesday shows. But updated numbers from the CDC also show that more than 52,000 people died from a drug overdose in 2015, and just over 33,000 of those deaths (63 percent) involved a prescription or illicit opioid. The CDC noted, in its national update released Dec. 16 in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, that more than 300,000 Americans have lost their lives to an opioid overdose since 2000. Heroin continues to be the deadliest narcotic in the United States, killing nearly 11,000 people in 2014 – ... Read more

Everyday Pain Relievers May Be Linked to Hearing Loss in Some Women
Posted 19 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Dec. 19, 2016 – Long-term use of over-the-counter pain relievers may be associated with increased risk of hearing loss in some women, a new study says. Women who used ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) for six years or more were more likely to suffer hearing loss than those who used the pain relievers for a year or less, said researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. They found no significant association between long-term aspirin use and hearing loss. "Although the magnitude of higher risk of hearing loss with analgesic use was modest, given how commonly these medications are used, even a small increase in risk could have important health implications," study senior author Dr. Gary Curhan said in a hospital news release. "Assuming causality, this would mean that approximately 16.2 percent of hearing loss occurring in these women could be due to ... Read more

What You Need to Know When Prescribed an Opioid Painkiller
Posted 13 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Dec. 12, 2016 – There are a number of questions you should ask if a doctor or other health care provider prescribes opioid painkillers such as Oxycontin, Vicodin, codeine and morphine, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says. While approved to treat certain kinds of acute and chronic pain, opioids can have serious side effects, and the United States is in the mist of an opioid overuse epidemic. First, ask why you need the medication, is it right for you, and are there non-opioid options? If your health care provider thinks an opioid painkiller is the best choice, ask the doctor to prescribe the lowest dose and the smallest quantity. Find out when to call to follow-up with the health care provider on how well the opioid is working, as well as when and how to stop or taper off use of the drug, the FDA said in a news release. To reduce the risk of side effects, take the ... Read more

Wider Low-Dose Aspirin Use Would Save U.S. $692 Billion: Study
Posted 30 Nov 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 30, 2016 – Taking low-dose aspirin daily can reduce older Americans' risk of heart disease and cancer, and lead to significant savings in health care spending, a new study contends. University of Southern California researchers used national data to assess the long-term benefits of daily aspirin usage. They calculated that taking low-dose aspirin every day would prevent 11 cases of heart disease and four cases of cancer for every 1,000 Americans ages 51 to 79. "Although the health benefits of aspirin are well-established, few people take it," said study lead author Dr. David Agus. He's the founding director and CEO of the university's Lawrence J.

Opioids No Better Than Ibuprofen for Pain After Car Crash: Study
Posted 28 Nov 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Nov. 28, 2016 – For treating persistent pain after a car crash, prescription opioid painkillers such as oxycodone (Oxycontin) are no more effective than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like ibuprofen, a new study finds. "You'd think there would be a wealth of studies comparing our 'go-to' pain meds, but there just aren't," said study lead author Dr. Francesca Beaudoin. She's an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Brown University's Warren Alpert School of Medicine and an emergency room doctor at Rhode Island Hospital. "Now that opioids are under fire, it's forcing us to ask: 'What is the best treatment, who is it best for and under what conditions?' " Beaudoin said in a university news release.

These Medicines Often Send Americans to ERs
Posted 22 Nov 2016 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2016 – An estimated one in 250 Americans lands in the hospital emergency department each year because of a medication-related reaction or problem, a new federal study finds. Among adults 65 and older, the rate is about one in 100, the study authors said. Remarkably, the medicines causing the most trouble haven't changed in a decade, the researchers noted. Blood thinners, diabetes medicines and antibiotics top the list. These drugs accounted for 47 percent of emergency department visits for adverse drug events in 2013 and 2014, according to the analysis. Among older adults, blood thinners, diabetes medicines and opioid painkillers are implicated in nearly 60 percent of emergency department visits for adverse drug events. "The same drugs are causing the most problems," said study co-author Dr. Daniel Budnitz. The study doesn't tease out what went wrong. The reasons ... Read more

U.S. Surgeon General Declares War on Addiction
Posted 18 Nov 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Nov. 17, 2016 – America's response to alcohol and drug addiction demands a shift in thinking – away from moralizing and toward proven medical treatment instead, the U.S. Surgeon General said Thursday. For too long, addiction has been looked at as a character flaw or a moral failing, rather than as a chronic disease of the brain, Dr. Vivek Murthy said during a morning news conference. "We have 20.8 million people in America with substance abuse disorders," the Surgeon General noted. But only one in 10 is getting treatment, research shows. "That is unacceptable, we have to close that gap," Murthy said. Addiction to alcohol or drugs is not hopeless. "There's strong evidence that prevention and treatment work," Murthy said. Under this line of thinking, treatment of opioid disorders – a national crisis – is likely to include medications such as buprenorphine and methadone. ... Read more

Opioid Overdoses Up Nearly 200 Percent Among Kids, Teens
Posted 31 Oct 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2016 – The number of young children and teens hospitalized for overdosing on opioid painkillers has spiked nearly 200 percent in recent years, a new study finds. Among children under 10, most of the painkiller poisonings were accidental, with children "eating them like candy," said lead researcher Julie Gaither, a postdoctoral fellow in biostatistics at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn. Among teens, most were accidental overdoses, although some were suicide attempts. In both age groups, the increase in cases involving painkillers like OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin was dramatic. Among children aged 1 to 4 years, the number of poisonings went up 205 percent from 1997 to 2012. For teens 15 to 19, the increase was 176 percent. Overall, the study showed a 165 percent increase in poisonings from opioid painkillers among those 19 and younger. In addition, ... Read more

Take Meds as Directed to Boost Survival After Heart Procedures
Posted 24 Oct 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Oct. 20, 2016 – Taking medications as prescribed improves outcomes for heart procedure patients, a new study finds. Researchers looked at 973 heart bypass patients and 2,255 patients who underwent angioplasty and stenting to reopen clogged heart arteries. Heart bypass surgery is when surgeons take a piece of blood vessel from somewhere else in the body to bypass a blocked portion of the heart's artery. Angioplasty is performed using a thin catheter that's threaded through the blood vessels to the heart. A balloon on the end of the catheter is inflated to open the narrowed blood vessel. Sometimes a stent (a mesh or wire tube) will be left in the blood vessel to keep it open. Prescribed medications in the study included cholesterol-lowering statins, blood thinners and beta blockers. Follow-up information was collected 12 to 18 months after the heart procedures. Overall, ... Read more

Many Take Opioids Reluctantly for Back Pain: Survey
Posted 24 Oct 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Oct. 24, 2016 – Millions of Americans with back pain take powerful and potentially addictive opioid painkillers. But in a new survey, many say the drugs provide only limited relief and they worry about taking them. The survey included more than 2,000 people with low back pain. Of the nearly half who were currently taking opioids, only 13 percent said the drugs were very successful at relieving their pain. Forty-four percent said the drugs were somewhat successful, 31 percent said they were moderately successful and 12 percent said they were unsuccessful. Seventy-five percent said the drugs had side effects such as constipation (65 percent), sleepiness (37 percent), thinking and memory problems (32 percent) and drug dependence (29 percent). "Patients are increasingly aware that opioids are problematic, but don't know there are alternative treatment options," said survey author ... Read more

Trauma Patients Not to Blame for Opioid Epidemic: Study
Posted 20 Oct 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 19, 2016 – Patients who survived major trauma may not be a significant factor in the U.S. opioid epidemic, a new study suggests. Almost 75 percent of major trauma patients who were prescribed narcotic painkillers such as OxyContin and Percocet had stopped using them a month after leaving the hospital. And only 1 percent were still taking the drugs on a prescription basis a year later, researchers found. "We were really surprised by how low the numbers were for long-term opiate use," study senior investigator Dr. Andrew Schoenfeld said in an American College of Surgeons news release. "It appears that traumatic injury is not a main driver for continued opioid use in patients who were not taking opioids prior to their injuries," said Schoenfeld, an orthopedic surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

The first thing to understand about Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) is that Amazon is no longer only about books or media. Indeed, Amazon today is mostly not about books or media.
Amazon.com has turned into an electronics and general merchandise online retailer. As such, it should be compared to other online retailers that do mostly electronics and general merchandise.
This Amazon.com transformation has been part of the reason the company has had an implosion in margins. Selling expensive electronics is a more competitive field; customers expect free shipping, and the products are usually more expensive to ship. Amazon.com states this impact in its own 10-Q:
We expect our net cost of shipping to continue to increase to the extent our customers accept and use our shipping offers at an increasing rate; to the extent our product mix shifts to the electronics and other general merchandise category; to the extent we reduce shipping rates; to the extent we use more expensive shipping methods; and to the extent we offer additional services. We seek to mitigate costs of shipping over time in part through achieving higher sales volumes, negotiating better terms with our suppliers, and achieving better operating efficiencies. We believe that offering low prices to our customers is fundamental to our future success, and one way we offer lower prices is through shipping offers. [Emphasis added.]
So, once we start seeing Amazon.com as an online electronics retailer, it turns out that there are other online electronics retailers out there. And they aren't as small or unrecognizable as to be meaningless, either. Thus, we can compare Amazon.com to them.
I selected two of those retailers: PC Connection (NASDAQ:PCCC) and Systemax (NYSE:SYX). PC Connection runs the PC Connection webstore, and Systemax runs a few well-known websites, like CompUSA, TigerDirect.com and CircuitCity.com. So, although not as ubiquitous overall as Amazon.com, in electronics these are pretty recognizable names.
In terms of valuation, this is how these companies stack:
One should also take into account that AMZN's TTM ROE and 5-year EPS growth rates are about to take a plunge as soon as 2011 ends, given the guidance and estimates for Q4 2011. Also, PCCC's earnings estimates have been going up, and SYX's have been cut only slightly, whereas AMZN's have taken plunges off the deep end, with earnings for 2011 expected to fall more than 50% from 2010, and estimates for 2012 having been cut 37% in just the last 90 days.
The picture that emerges from this quick comparison is that not only of Amazon.com's extreme overvaluation when compared to companies acting in generally the same market, but also that its earnings performance has actually been weaker when compared over a long (5-year) period.
Is there some metric on which Amazon.com beats these two companies? Yes: revenue growth. Amazon's low margins have permitted it to grow faster.
This kind of comparison should give anyone thinking of investing in Amazon.com serious food for thought. You can get competitors for valuations that are basically one-tenth or less per each dollar of sales or earnings, and those competitors have a better recent track record, as well as a better estimated track record (bearing in mind that Amazon.com's growth from 2011 to 2012 is mostly just a function of its earnings estimates for 2012 not having been cut enough yet).
For someone who wants exposure to online electronics retailers, there are better options out there than Amazon.com. Consider buying PC Connection and Systemax while shorting Amazon.com.
Disclosure: I am long SYX. I am also short AMZN, and will consider buying PCCC over the next 72 hours.
