Canadian dollar rises over a cent on commodities
By John McCrank
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar climbed more than a cent against the U.S. dollar on Monday, supported by surging energy and non-energy commodity prices.
Domestic bond prices, with a lack of domestic data to influence direction, were mixed.
At 9:30 a.m., the Canadian dollar was at C$1.0010 to the U.S. dollar, or 99.90 U.S. cents, up from C$1.0130 to the U.S. dollar, or 98.72 U.S. cents, at Friday close.
Canada is a major oil exporter and the price of U.S. light crude futures, near $99 dollars a barrel, has supported the Canadian dollar. But non-energy commodities are also playing a key role in the currency's strength, said David Watt, senior currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
"You look at these non-energy commodity prices and a lot of the base metals and the agricultural commodities are still surging and if you are an economy that is sensitive to those prices, your economy is going to be doing pretty well," said Watt.
"We've got an indicator that we follow that's base metals and it includes wheat as well, and since late January, it's up 16, almost 17 percent and right now it's only 3 percent below its peak from May of last year," said Watt.
The Bank of Canada has said that the main drivers of the Canadian dollar right now are energy and non-energy commodities, as well as the interest rate spread between Canada and the United States.
Analysts and investors will get a chance to hear more of what the Bank of Canada is thinking on Tuesday, when Senior Deputy Governor Paul Jenkins and Deputy Governor John Murray are scheduled to speak to a government committee about the impact of the strong Canadian dollar on the economy.

Elena: Pain.Mature
I can feel myself and Mistle tiring but I won't let us stop!
'You can do it Mistle, just a little more!' I whisper menatlly. 'I'm tired Elena. I don't know how long I can keep this up.' Her mental voice is much stronger then mine, that means I weak.'You're going to keep doing this until all of them are dead!' I jump a little at the sound of Olis mental voice, it sounds like he is enjoying the fight.
'El. You can do this. I know you can.' I nod and increase the electricity. I can feel Oli moving closer behind me, my back now touching his chest. He increses the pain, making me wince. He moves his hands over mine.
I start numbing the sences part of our attackers minds, making them weaker. I can hear everyone fighting, even though I'm becoming dizzy.
Olis head comes down to my shoulder. "You can do this El. Think about the most painful memory." He whispers into my ear.
I'm trying to remember but nothing's coming. So far, I haven't been hurt that badly. "Try and remember before." My heart is beating rapidly. I don't think I can. He sighs and leans closer. We increase our powers, making more pain and electricity then Mistles fire.
I scream out as the pain runs through me to get to the attackers. I can hear Mitchell knocking some guys head off, it makes me laugh a little. My head starts to ring and I fall to the ground.
Oli looks down at me and shakes his head then runs off to join the other vampires. 'Weak.' He says mentally. I slowly get to me feet pissed off. I'm not weak! If he thinks I'm weak, then I would be anle to do this! I run forward to one of the men and hold his arm. I quickly increase the electros in his body and suddenly he explodes before he could do anything. Ew, human guts.
'Knew you could do it.' 'Haha. El is back!' 'C'mon girl, beat the shit out of them!' I smile at the vampires mental thoughts. I run forwards and punch a guy in the face. Even though I'm in agonising pain, I'm not gonna go down easy!


text:
Adapted from an early piece of prose.
A mountain
Stands tall and erect
In the growing sunlight.
Stately giant
Watching over,
Kindly comrade,
Heartening friend;
So near, and yet so far;
Symbol of safety and security;
Whisper of a confidante
Who is always there,
Always reliable,
Always present
At every homecoming;
Beauty beyond adequate description,
Awe-inspiring reminder of God's majesty;
Modest reflection of the potency
Which created the marvels of the universe.
Across the scarred face of the mountain
Is sketched an expression solemn with anticipation,
But bright with auriferous jollity
And full of honest ardour;
It stirs the magic of compassion,
Excites the revellous vision of a goddess bride;
Veil of morning dew,
Gown of morning sunbeams;
Peaceful features sculpted
By the clever tools of cherubim,
The exalting arias of angels,
The patient touch of seraphim;
And a finely glazed aura
Of tender neutrality;
A fair force
Poised to enrich one's wellbeing,
Rather than granting egoistic desires.
Then, when one rejects its gentle generosity,
The mountain becomes stern and boding,
Condemning thoughts,
Forbidding dreams,
Guiding back to the true path
With haughty displeasure.
Oh, my serene mountain!
Pondering life and pondering death,
Ever-changing, never-changing,
My friend and my foe,
My loyal guide, teacher, chaperon,
Paradox, paradigm, paragon,
My divine epiphany,
My God.

Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS) and Percutaneous Neuromodulation Therapy (PNT)
DESCRIPTIONPercutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) and percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) are therapies that combine the features of electroacupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). PENS is performed with a few needle electrodes while PNT uses very fine needle-like electrode arrays that are placed in close proximity to the painful area to stimulate peripheral sensory nerves in the soft tissue.
PENS is similar in concept to TENS, but differs in that needles are inserted either around or immediately adjacent to the nerves serving the painful area and are then stimulated. PENS is generally reserved for patients who fail to get pain relief from TENS. PENS is also distinguished from acupuncture with electrical stimulation. In electrical acupuncture, needles are also inserted just below the skin, but the placement of needles is based on specific theories regarding energy flow throughout the human body. In PENS, the location of stimulation is determined by proximity to the pain rather than the theories of energy flow that guide placement of stimulation for acupuncture.
Percutaneous neuromodulation therapy is a variant of PENS in which fine filament electrode arrays are placed near the area that is causing pain. Some use the terms PENS and PNT interchangeably. It is proposed that PNT inhibits pain transmission by creating an electrical field that hyperpolarizes C-fibers, thus preventing action potential propagation along the pain pathway.
Percutaneous Neuromodulation TherapyTM (Vertis Neurosciences) received approval to market by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the 510(k) process in 2002. The labeled indication reads as follows, "Percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) is indicated for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic or intractable pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain and post-trauma pain." The Deepwave® Percutaneous Neuromodulation Pain Therapy System (Biowave) received 510(k) approval in 2006, listing the Vertis Neuromodulation system and a Biowave TENS unit as predicate devices. The Deepwave® system includes a sterile single-use percutaneous electrode array that contains 1,014 microneedles in a 1.5-inch diameter area. The needles are 736 microns (0.736 millimeters) in length; the patch is reported to feel like sandpaper or Velcro.
See separate policy for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS)
POLICYPercutaneous electrical neurostimulation or neuromodulation is considered investigational.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSFederal Employee Program (FEP) may dictate that all devices approved by the FDA may not be considered investigational. Therefore, FDA-approved devices may be assessed on the basis of their medical necessity.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
Investigative is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized as a generally accepted standard of good medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and; therefore, is not considered medically necessary. For the definition of Investigative, "generally accepted standards of medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. In order for equipment, devices, drugs or supplies [i.e, technologies], to be considered not investigative, the technology must have final approval from the appropriate governmental bodies, and scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect of the technology on health outcomes, and the technology must improve the net health outcome, and the technology must be as beneficial as any established alternative and the improvement must be attainable outside the testing/investigational setting.

Southsidedaily.com is your source for free local news and information in Virginia Beach
A Florida man faces up to five years in prison for failing to pay almost $500,000 in taxes on ship repair businesses in Portsmouth, Va. and New York.
Napolean Robinson, 65, of Lauderhill, Fla., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Norfolk Wednesday to charges of evading federal employment taxes, according to a release from U.S. Attorney Dana J. Boente. He was charged by criminal information on Aug. 12.
The name of his company was "Lianne Rolle dba Sky Enterprises Inc.," according to court documents. The business is located at 2401 High St. in Portsmouth, according to Alan Ross, an attorney for Robinson.
"He immediately accepted responsibility for having done that," Ross said. "Beyond that, there isn't much to say."
Between January 2000 and December 2013, Robinson owned a string of ship welding and repair businesses in Virginia and New York, the release said. He fell behind in payments to the Internal Revenue Service beginning in 2005; instead of negotiating a schedule for the payments, which were employment taxes he withheld from employees, he closed the business and reopened a new one under a different name.
Over the course of the scheme, he ran businesses named for his sister, his niece and a friend. He made business and personnel decisions, however; they simply served as nominee owners, the release said.
When the IRS detected his "pyramiding" scheme, it began an investigation. On June 13, 2013, Robinson made false statements to an IRS investigator, in an effort to avoid liability for the unpaid taxes, according to court documents.
Robinson will be sentenced on Jan. 25, 2017.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office did not respond to a request for comment before deadline.

The Professional Negligence Lawyers Association (PNLA) has launched the largest after-the-event (ATE) insurance group scheme outside of the personal injury sector.
The scheme-of-arrangement deal has been put in place by litigation funding brokers The Judge. It will give PNLA members the opportunity to offer ATE cover to clients looking to bring negligence suits against professionals.
"This deal has been in development for 18 months," said The Judge director James Delaney. "It will offer a streamlined way to place insurance and also means clients can investigate claims without incurring costs."
PNLA chief executive Nigel Mallett added: "Risk transfer options need to be discussed with all litigation clients to demonstrate how they can protect the downside cost of losing the case."
The insurance policy covers individuals for legal costs incurred if they lose a case brought by 'no win, no fee' means. The scheme is aimed at cases where costs are unlikely to exceed £250,000 and will apply whether the case is funded by a conditional fee arrangement or not. It also includes guaranteed top-up cover and pre-investigation cover.
The policy is to be underwritten by QBE, although Delaney said further tenders would be issued to allow more insurers to compete for the business.

Aim & Ignite
By Fun.
Fun. are like 'A Fever Your Can't Sweat Out'-era Panic! at the Disco, with a few more strings, gospel choirs and a vocalist who squeals out those big, dramatic high notes like his life depends on it. It's only a matter of time before they acquire themselves an army of irritatingly over-zealous teeny-bopper fans but, for now, Fun. are just a jaw-droppingly good new band. Comprised of warbler extraordinaire Nate Ruess of The Format, Andrew Dost from Anathallo, and Jack Antonoff of Steel Train fame, Fun. construct a lush indie-pop opera that simmers with barely suppressed euphoria. Everything about this album is amplified: when it's sad, Ruess' every line comes with a side order of strings; when it's happy it's like a technicolour, multi-instrumental indie-disco. 'Aim & Ignite' is the best sort of self indulgence.
Favourites are hard to pick, but 'Benson Hedges' and previous singles 'Be Calm' and 'All The Pretty Girls' pip the rest of the album to the post. Opening with the impassioned holler of a gospel choir before launching headfirst into a crazy jig of piano keys, 'Benson Hedges' seizes the listener from the opening notes and then refuses to let them draw breath for the duration of the song. How anyone can bash away at a piano with such relentless, single-minded enthusiasm is mind-boggling. Just listening to it is exhausting. Meanwhile, lead-off single 'Be Calm's bombast is more varied, as accordion, brass and string sections beat a chequered path to this song's all singing, all dancing Broadway style climax. 'Be Calm' is a towering showtune, soaked through with high drama and lovingly polished to a pop-music sheen.
'All The Pretty Girls' is something a little different. For the verses, Fun. peel back a few layers of strings and shine the spotlight firmly on Ruess' distinctively squealy, powerful voice. After leaving you in awe of Ruess' ability to hit those high notes, 'All The Pretty Girls' dives into a gooey, poppy chorus. Against the jazziness of the rest of the album, the easy, poppy flow of 'All The Pretty Girls' may feel a little bland but, give this song a chance, and soon it'll be running through your head non-stop.
Another song on this album that doesn't detonate in your face like a joy-bomb, is 'At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be).' This song has a shambolic, impromptu jazz swing to its unsteady step, meaning that at first it's difficult to get to grips with the ever-changing rhythms. The chorus is also pretty empty, although, if anyone can make a chorus consisting mostly of "whooooa-whooooooa"s interesting, it's Ruess, who belts out this lyric like it actually means something. A pretty weak song by the rest of this album's standards but, spend some time getting to know its many twists and turns, and 'I Guess I'm Not As Sad...' does become much more enjoyable.
'Barlights' proves that, in Fun. land, more is always more. Beginning with a rumbling piano, this song then drafts in jigging guitars, a full brass section and a gospel choir who croon and clap their hearts out. A little silly perhaps, but when Ruess is bellowing about living forever against a backdrop of gospel singers, with a horn or two and a stirring piano refrain thrown into the mix, it's impossible not to get caught up in the giddiness of it all.
Fun. drop some of their more flamboyant tendencies for previous single 'Walking The Dog,' 'Light a Roman Candle With Me' and 'I Wanna Be The One.'
The majority of 'Walking The Dog' consists of Ruess' elastic voice stretching and recoiling across perfectly-placed, squeaking chords. Meanwhile, 'Light a Roman Candle With Me' is a little slow to start, but after a hushed first verse and chorus, Fun. add a merrily bouncing drumline and Ruess' voice gains a more urgent note. Subdued and steady, but Ruess' vocals will win you over in the second half.
'I Wanna Be The One' feels more personal and intimate than the rest of 'Aim & Ignite.' A small-scale sing-song with a loose, almost folky feel to it, 'I Wanna Be The One' has charisma by the bucketloads. The lyrics may be a little nauseating but it's so horribly catchy, and Ruess sounds so earnest, you'll hardly notice the cheesiness of it all.
These three subdued takes on the Fun. sound are nothing compared to the harrowing piano ballad 'The Gambler,' which is pretty much the opening scene from Disney Pixar's 'Up' translated into a song. The lifetime-spanning, bittersweet story-telling lyrics are delivered with eerily believable feeling, making this a far more intense listening experience than Fun. at their most bombastic.
Fun. bring this emotionally-charged musical adventure to a close with the handclap-tastic, jangling rollick of 'Take Your Time (Coming Home.)' Mixed up with this joyful bound are passages of exotic "oh-nah-nah-nah" tribal-tinged mutterings, which are an odd fit for the rest of the song. You'll find yourself wishing Fun. had just gone full-pelt for the entire song, and delivered the sort of extravagant album-closer this CD demands. Not quite the high this album should have ended on.
'Aim & Ignite' is an expansive, full-colour listening experience where each song is packed full of theatrical drama, and as many strings, brass instruments and impassioned backing vocalists as any one album can hold. Although it may occasionally verge on silliness, 'Aim & Ignite's euphoria is infectious. An album that makes you feel pretty good about the world.

In mice, device destroyed colorectal tumors and prevented remission after surgery
Approximately one in 20 people will develop colorectal cancer in their lifetime, making it the third-most prevalent form of the disease in the U.S. In Europe, it is the second-most common form of cancer.
The most widely used first line of treatment is surgery, but this can result in incomplete removal of the tumor. Cancer cells can be left behind, potentially leading to recurrence and increased risk of metastasis. Indeed, while many patients remain cancer-free for months or even years after surgery, tumors are known to recur in up to 50 percent of cases.
Conventional therapies used to prevent tumors recurring after surgery do not sufficiently differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells, leading to serious side effects.
In a paper published today in the journal Nature Materials, researchers at MIT describe an adhesive patch that can stick to the tumor site, either before or after surgery, to deliver a triple-combination of drug, gene, and photo (light-based) therapy.
