Great Expectations for Groupon
The big earnings report today comes from Groupon (GRPN) after the bell. Analyst expectations are tempered. Remember that last November, the online discounter disappointed and the stock took a beating into the mid-$2s. But it's come a long way since then and is now near $6.
Groupon has had several disappointing quarters in a row, so many people have written the company off. The Groupon consensus estimate is for $0.03 per share. A whisper number is that Groupon will actually come in at breakeven. After the last report from Zynga (ZNGA) a few weeks ago, however, it's wise never be too quick to write a company off, even if it hasn't met expectations before....270 more words left in this article.

Angels' first-inning production tops in Majors
ANAHEIM -- The Angels have notched a Major League-high 33 comeback wins this season, but it has been their early offense driving the machinery recently.
The Angels average 0.66 runs per game in the first inning this season -- tops in baseball -- one season after leading the Majors in the same category. In their last five games, the Angels have scored in the first inning three times, winning all three games. They lost the other two times.
What's behind the early firepower and sudden leads? Not much, according to leadoff man Kole Calhoun.
"I don't think it's a product of anything," Calhoun said. "We're trying to score every inning, get some guys on, have some good at-bats early on and getting some runs across."
But Calhoun, himself, may be the answer. The stocky right fielder catalyst is hitting .396/.491/.604 in the first at-bat of a game and has scored 19 first-inning runs.
The Angels have scored four-plus runs in the first inning a Major League-high six times, including twice in the last three games. Most recently, they tagged Dodgers starter Zack Greinke for four first-inning runs on Monday.
"There's no strategy that we've implemented to say, 'We're going to do this to make us score early,'" Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We have a good offensive team, and if it meets a pitcher that's not quite locked in for his first 25-30 pitches of a game, we have a chance to score some runs early and we did off of Zack and off of Clayton [Kershaw]."
While the Angels failed to notch a first-inning run off Kershaw, they did plate two in the second and one in the third.
As a team, the Angels are hitting .288 in the first inning (.260 in every other inning) and are 41-20 when scoring first.
"We try to score runs with nobody out in the first inning if we can," Scioscia said.

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. - A Pembroke Pines postal worker, who was gunned down on the job, was laid to rest Saturday.
Friends and family of Bruce Parton gathered at the Scarano Funeral Home to remember his life.
"He's family. Postal family," Anna Forbes Hartfield, a postal worker, told Local 10's Janine Stanwood.
Richard Cassanello, another postal worker, said he didn't know Parton. But like Hartfield, he showed up for support.
"I'm a carrier. He's a carrier. He kind of died in the line of duty," Cassanello said.
Parton, a 60-year-old veteran letter carrier, had planned on retiring and traveling, friends and family said.
His life was violently cut short on Monday along his regular route near NW 165th St. in Northwest Miami-Dade.
Investigators said shortly after 3 p.m., someone opened fire on him, stealing his mail truck and then dumping it a few blocks away.
Despite a massive manhunt, police said the killer got away. Parton suffered two gunshot wounds, according to a police report.
By all accounts from his former wife, friends and co-workers, Parton was well-liked and generous.
"Whoever knows anything should come forward," Cassanello said.
"I hope they get them. It's really sad that somebody can't even go to work, do their job, go home to their family. To get killed on the job, that's bad. That's awful," Hartfield said.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call 888-876-5322. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Bruce Parton's death.

Reedsport clinic loses ER contract to Texas company
REEDSPORT, Ore. -- The largest health care clinic in Reedsport is in danger of shutting down.
For 35 years, doctors from the Dunes Family Health Care Clinic have provided emergency room services for the Lower Umpqua Hospital right across the parking lot.
Now, all that has changed.
"Well, we had an excellent relationship, but that is very much jeopardized now," said Dr. Janet Patin of the clinic.
The hospital is not renewing the clinic's contract for ER services, but switching to a private company out of Texas on April 1.
Sandra Reese, administrator at Lower Umpqua Hospital says it won't affect patient care. "Patients coming in, I don't think they'll see a difference. I think it would be more structured as to what happens to a person when they come in, so that we're more consistent," she said. "Consistency is a lot of times seen as quality."
"The hospital treats about 300 emergency room patients a month, and while those patients may not be affected by the switch, Dr. Patin says the Dunes Family clinic will be.
Officials say the clinic relies solely on revenue from the ER. "Most of our patients are medicare, medicaid and self-pay, and that's not enough to keep the clinic going," Dr. Patin said. "It would be a shame to lose all medical services in Reedsport, which is essentially what would happen is this clinic closes."
Reese is hopeful the hospital can continue its relationship with doctors working at the clinic. "The door's still open, so to me, the conversations aren't over," Reese said. "I hope that they continue and move forward together as a medical community."

Arizona seeks comments on passenger rail proposalsPosted: Updated:
The Arizona Department of Transportation is looking for public comment on the feasibility of developing a passenger rail to link Phoenix and Tucson.
The department says Saturday is the last day to comment on the feasibility study.
The department has been gathering comments during community events in Maricopa, Pinal and Pima counties. In all, it has received nearly 2,800 surveys from around Arizona.
Transportation officials are considering six rail alternatives and one express bus route. The rail alternatives focus on providing both express service that directly connects Phoenix and Tucson and a regional commuter service that would allow passengers to board the train at stations in different communities along the selected alignment.
The department plans to narrow the list to two or three alternatives in the spring of 2013.

Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies
I had to save the best for last this week. Oatmeal Cream Pies were my all time favorite. There's just something about that soft chewy oatmeal cookies with the cream filling smooshed between.
I have a confession to make about the store bought version of this cookie. When I was in High School, I was the yearbook editor senior year with a good friend of mine K. He and I had a class period each day to do yearbook work as an independent study class. We had the yearbook room to ourselves for one hour a day. It was a lot of fun. We kept Oatmeal Cream Pies in the yearbook drawer and would house these things on a regular basis. We'd go through a disgusting amount of these cookies in one hour. Thank goodness for my high-school metabolism (which has since vanished), as well as my stomach of steel. Oh man, parts of high school were a good time.
Back to reality. In the past 10+ years since then, my stomach has become more sensative to dairy and other foods, and I have to work to not gain weight. I've learned a lot about how to eat healthy and gained quite the love of cooking and baking. I've also learned that most store bought foods can be made a hundred times better at home.
These cookies are no exception. The brown sugar in the cookies keeps them perfectly soft and the filling is so much better than what's in the store bought version. It's like a homemade marshmallow fluff, and it's amazing. I packaged them in celophane bags so they were easy to throw into lunches for me and Hubby this week.
One Year Ago: Best Dang Thing Ever Bars
Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies
Yield: 24
For the Cookies
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp boiling water
For the Filling
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp unflavored gelatin (about 1 1/2 packets)
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup water (divided)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces vegetable shortening
Make the cookies
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside (or use parchment).
Cream the butter, sugar, and eggs in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, sift together the salt, flour, and baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture. Add the cinnamon and oats. Mix well.
In a small dish, add the baking soda to the boiling water, and then stir the mixture into the rest of the batter. Mix well.
Drop by the tablespoon onto the baking sheets about 2 inches apart and bake until the cookies are firm and just starting to turn golden around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on a wire rack or a plate.
Make the filling
In a small measuring cup, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water. Let stand, stirring once or twice until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes.
In a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup hot water until well blended. Continuing to stir, raise the heat to high and bring to a full boil. Continue boiling for 30 seconds. Immediately remove from the heat. Stir in the gelatin mixture until it dissolves completely.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the vanilla.
With a mixer on medium speed, beat for 20 seconds. Gradually raise the speed to high and beat until the mixture is stiffened, white, very fluffy, and cooled to barely warm, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar.
Add the shortening and beat until completely smooth.
The filling will set up as it sits, so wait until it is thick enough to spread or pipe before filling the cookies.
Recipe from How to Eat a Cupcake
27 Responses to "Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies"
Oh wow, I don't think I've had an oatmeal cream pie in FOREVER, but I'm sure I'd love a homemade version. Definitely adding these to the list! 🙂
I used to love those oatmeal cream cookies when I was growing up to! I haven't had one in over ten years and this recipe brought so many memories back!
awesome! My grandparents are in town for the weekend and always have Little Debbie cream pies at their house – might have to try to whip these up this weekend because I bet they would love it!
Those things look amazing! 🙂
And i would like to give a shoot out to the One-year ago link "Best Dang Thing You Ever Tasted Bars"= the name says it all!
I've never one either, which is clearly why I ought to make these for myself.
i LOVE oatmeal cream pies and haven't had one forever, but a homemade one… that's worth trying out!
Be still my heart (it's fluttering). This is the most satisfying cookie of all time and yours looks absolitely perfect.
These look great Jen!
These look AMAZING!!
Oh my, such a childhood favorite!!! They look fabulous!!!
Are we the same person? My senior year (in high school AND college) I was the co-yearbook editor and ate a disgusting amount of these. FYI the off-brand ones are terrible. I made that mistake during one 3am deadline. I'm definitely making these soon!!
You've totally made my day with this post! I've been searching for the perfect oatmeal cream pie recipe forever, ever since a former coworker of mine brought in her version and wouldn't share the recipe! I've tried other recipes but it's always the cream portion that ends up being different or disappointing. I can't wait to try this recipe!
Ahh… the yearbook memories. I can't believe how many of those we ate. If only that metabolism was still in place!
I so need to make these! I was totally obsessed with the Sara Lee oatmeal cream pies when I was in high school, and I can only imagine they are WAY better when you make them yourself! Yum. 🙂
I used to live on those pies! I used to love those things. This has been on my list to make for awhile- Everyday Food by Martha had something similar in this months magazine!
Ooooh those were a childhood lunchbox staple for me! Fun 🙂
Oh wow, I'm saving this recipe – I also used to love oatmeal cream pies!
I just made these this weekend and they are a HIT in my house! Oh, and they're way better than the boxed kind. Thanks for sharing!
These look great! The oatmeal pies were one of my favorite Little Debbie snacks. I bet the homemade version is a million times better!
i used to love these!! i bet they're heads and shoulders above what i remember 🙂
Definitely bookmarking these! They look amazing!
My husband might love you more than me after this. His favorite cookie is the oatmeal cream pie!
I love the Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies but after one or two you really notice how "processed" they taste. I finally had time to make these late Friday night and they came out quite yummy! They were great with coffee in the morning and we just had some for dessert at a family dinner (we're even talking about making them for our sister-in-law's baby shower and coloring the filling).
I do have two tips. One – make the cookies first. I had read about the filling setting as it rested, so I figured I'd do that first, but that was a mistake. By the time I was ready to fill the cookies the cream was more like marshmallow and I had to mix in some corn syrup to thin it back up. Two – keep a close eye on your first few batches of cookies until you get the timing down. My oven is low quality but predictable; however these cookies still seemed to vary batch-to-batch, with the average about 4-5 minutes. However, even the ones that were a little dark on the bottom still tasted good.
Good point Sarah – Definitely make the cookies first. They have to completely cool prior to filling them anyways.
Gah! I wish I would have read these comments before I started! Sarah – my oven was the same as yours. Five minutes per batch of cookies was plenty. I left my first batch in for over ten… oops!
Aside from the 12 cookies that went straight to the garbage can, these were INCREDIBLE. I still can't get over how chewy they are. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!
I made these for a family beach trip two years ago and they were AMAZING. They are very good the day you make them but if you can wait a day before eating…ooooh my goodness. Eat your heart out, Little Debbie. I'm headed back to the beach this coming week with some girlfriends and decided to bring these again. I cannot wait!

Mets rout Phillies with hit parade, five-run inning
Murphy, Duda homer, combine for six RBIs; Wheeler has quality start
NEW YORK -- Mets manager Terry Collins predicted that he's going "to see a lot of similar faces" when he walks into the clubhouse Friday afternoon, and for the Mets, that's no longer such a concerning proposition. The team that routed the Phillies on Wednesday afternoon, 11-2, hardly resembled the one that scuffled for much of May and June. Even if the Mets do nothing before Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, they have proven their ability to be dangerous.
Mostly, the Mets have spent the past month watching several of Wednesday's key players improve significantly under their watch. From Zack Wheeler's quality start to Daniel Murphy's three-run homer to a five-run seventh-inning rally that put the game away at Citi Field, the Mets have managed to transform despite a static roster.
"I feel like we're a whole different team from the beginning of the season, honestly," Wheeler said.
If they want to take the next step toward legitimate contention, they'll need to continue down that path. Because help does not appear to be coming on the trade market.
Right now, at least, the Mets don't seem to need it. Wheeler continued his rapid ascent to stardom against the Phillies, allowing two runs in 6 2/3 innings for his sixth consecutive quality start. The only damage against him came on Ryan Howard's RBI double in the fifth inning and Jimmy Rollins' pinch-hit homer leading off the seventh.
The Mets held a secure lead by that point thanks to Murphy's three-run shot in the fifth off Kyle Kendrick, who gave up one other run in six innings. But they did not put things away until the seventh, when Lucas Duda, Travis d'Arnaud, Chris Young, Ruben Tejada and relief pitcher Jeurys Familia each rapped out RBIs in a six-batter span. d'Arnaud doubled and Young reached on an error.
In many ways, the rally demonstrated the extent to which the Mets have improved. Duda's hit not only came off a lefty, signifying growth -- "he's become one of the more dangerous hitters in the National League," third baseman David Wright said -- but also resulted in his career-high sixth straight game with an RBI. Offense from d'Arnaud and Tejada, nonexistent earlier this year, has since poured forth on a regular basis.
By the time Familia came through with -- rather incredibly -- his second hit of the season, the Mets were well on their way to another series win. When Duda tacked on a two-run homer, his 19th of the season, the game descended into a rout.
"I've been impressed, mostly, with just the consistency with which this team has played the last month or three weeks or however long it's been," Wright said. "It seems like we're consistently going out there winning series against some quality teams. Hopefully that continues, because that's what it takes. You can't just get hot for a couple weeks and try to ride that. You've got to consistently get better as a team and we're doing that."
"We're a good team right now, I feel," Wheeler said. "We're just a couple of swings or outs away from turning the corner."
A couple of trades could also put the Mets over the top, improving the roster more rapidly than any internal development could. But that is unlikely to happen; general manager Sandy Alderson has preached prudence since the day he arrived here three and a half years ago, reiterating that stance earlier this week. While a blockbuster deal for, say, Troy Tulowitzki might dramatically change the state of things in Flushing, the fact that the Mets have improved so fully without making such a move gives them reason to stay the course.
Postseason play may still be unrealistic for a club sitting four games under .500 at the dawn of August, but the prospect of relevant games down the stretch is not as outlandish as it once seemed. So even if the Mets indeed do nothing prior to Thursday's Deadline, they are clearly a much-improved bunch.
The result is that once-expendable veterans Murphy and Bartolo Colon are now far more likely to stick around. When asked about his Trade Deadline agenda, Murphy said he plans to spend the day with his wife and child, well beyond the reach of the nearest Twitter feed. He's not worried. Colon is not worried.
"Guys understand the Deadline, and you just go about your business," Wright said. "There's no talk of it. There's no real thought of it."
For once, the Mets know they're in promising shape regardless.

Richie Sambora To Skip Part Of Bon Jovi Tour [VIDEO]
Guitarist Richie Sambora will not be performing with Bon Jovi during the current leg of the band's Because We Can tour but the reason is not clear.
The band, on its website, cited "personal issues." The band says all shows will go on as scheduled. No other information was given.
TMZ is reporting that Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi are feuding over money and a years-long fight bubbled over prior.
During the band's show in Calgary on Tuesday, Jon Bon Jovi announced that Richie Sambora won't be performing for a "while". "If there's ever a night I need you, it's tonight, Calgary!" according to the Daily Mail, which reports the show started 45 minutes late.
The band also made a donation to to the Calgary Homeless Foundation, according to the Metro of Calgary, to make up for the missing Sambora.
Hours before the announcement late Tuesday, Sambora tweeted that he was "Watching more of the 'Every Road Leads Home To You' cover videos." That was a reference to a fan contest promoting a song on his solo album, "Aftermath of the Lowdown."
The 53-year-old has struggled with substance abuse and has done several stints in rehab.
Bon Jovi performs in Edmonton, Canada, on Wednesday; the current leg of the tour is scheduled to end April 25 in San Jose, Calif before heading to South Africa and Europe starting May 7.

This Crown was issued by the Isle of Man in 1992. Beautifully designed and struck by the Pobjoy Mint, these coins have intricate details and cameo features.
Coin Highlights:

This is the perfect coin for cat lovers and collectors alike. Add this 1992 Isle of Man Silver 1 Crown Siamese Cat Proof coin to your cart today!
The idea that countries, big or small, can and should have their own coinage is what pushed the Pobjoy Mint forward. Pobjoy approached the Isle of Man government to begin a program of collector coins with corresponding values and specifications as British coins. In 1972, the Pobjoy Mint created the first practical set of coins for the Isle of Man including a 1/2 penny and up to 50 pence coins. These coins included historical and cultural elements, such as the Isle of Man's distinctive three-legged "Triskele" insignia.
Since then, the Pobjoy Mint has issued an array of innovative and artistic coins sought after by some of the choosiest collectors. One particular contribution to numismatics and coin production was the development of the world's first satisfactory man-made Precious Metal, called Virenium, which has been used in high denomination coinage since 1978. This was hailed worldwide as the first significant breakthrough in coinage from the last century.
The Pobjoy Mint provides circulation and collector coinage for 12 countries and territories, and that number is ever increasing. Pobjoy Mint has been consistently recognized within the numismatic industry for their innovations, including 45 "firsts" such as the first Silver one kilo coin, the first coin in the shape of the Eiffel Tower, the first titanium coin and the world's highest relief coin. The Pobjoy Mint has demonstrated their ability to push the limits of the coin industry to surprising achievements and new heights.

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
I took the vast assortment of fresh pastas for sale at Russo's to be an excellent sign. The dime-sized East Village storefront specializes in pastas, cheeses, and cured meats, and based on the seriousness with which they take their ravioli (and manicotti, and fettuccine...), I had high hopes for their sandwiches. My expectations were definitely met with Jack's Club ($6.99), a sizable sandwich of sweet coppa, sweet soppressata, smoked mozzarella, and sundried tomato. The chewy, salty meats were sliced paper-thin and combined lovely notes of spice and smokiness. Excellent smoked fresh mozzarella added a creamy flavor and texture, nicely balanced by the bright sweetness of the tomatoes. Also welcome was the healthy pour of Italian vinaigrette (good quality olive oil and balsamic) which soaked into the porous, crackly-crusted roll. And at $6.99, no less! Next time I'll be sure to pick up some pasta, too.

Kroppenstedtia eburnea gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel thermoactinomycete isolated by environmental screening, and emended description of the family Thermoactinomycetaceae Matsuo et al. 2006 emend. Yassin et al. 2009. International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. 61(9):2304-2310. Interpretive Summary: During the course of environmental screening at a contract manufacturing facility in Southern Germany, a novel microorganism was isolated from testing of a surface sample. This microorganism was subjected to a thorough examination of its genetic, biochemical, morphological and physiological properties in an attempt to determine its identity. The resulting data conclusively demonstrated that the strain represented a species of new genus of thermophilic bacteria for which the name Kroppenstedtia eburnea is proposed. The formal description of this microorganism and its characteristics will permit other scientists throughout the world to recognize similar or related strains isolated from other environments and thus determine the ecology and role of this genus in nature.
Technical Abstract: A Gram-positive, spore-forming, aerobic, filamentous bacterium, strain JFMB-ATET, was isolated in 2008 during environmental screening on a surface in grade C in a contract manufacturing organization in southern Germany. The isolate grew at temperatures of 25-50°C and at pH 5.0-8.5, forming ivory-colored colonies with sparse white aerial mycelia. Chemotaxonomic and molecular characteristics of the isolate matched those described for members of the family Thermoactinomycetaceae, except that the cell-wall peptidoglycan contained LL-diaminopimelic acid, while all previously described members of this family display this diagnostic diamino acid in the meso-conformation. The DNA G + C content of the novel strain was 54.6 mol%, the main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol, and the major menaquinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids had saturated C14 -C16 branched-chains. No diagnostic sugars were detected. Based on the chemotaxonomic results and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolate is proposed to represent a novel genus and species, Kroppenstedtia eburnaea. The type strain is JFMB-ATET (= DSM 45196T = NRRL B-24804T = CCUG 59226T).

Flying in the SkyScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
One day, a boy noticed a man selling balloons that he was blowing up by himself. Being a young child, he was excited and ran to get one. When he bought it, however, it wouldn't float up in the air. Why is that?
HintThink about the properties of air.
AnswerIt wouldn't fly simply because it was mouth blown. When it floats up, it's because of the type of gas inside it, which is helium. Helium is less dense than air, so it floats. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, is not.
What Next?
See another brain teaser just like this one...
Or, just get a random brain teaser

We "go the extra mile" to help assure that, when you adopt a pet from HSVB&IRC, you'll be making an informed choice. By matching an animal's personality to yours and your lifestyle, we're more likely to assure that you make the right adoption decision the first time.
We are using a program developed by the ASPCA. It is called "Meet Your Match." Currently, we evaluate dogs and cats before we make them available for adoption.
Also, we ask each prospective adopter to complete an Adopters' Survey which helps identify factors in their lifestyle which might guide their choice of animals. Then, we compare the findings to make a match.
Proudly, we have a very high adoption retention rate — a fact we credit to taking this extra step in the adoption process.
We want you to make a "SAFER" choice, too.
In addition to Meet Your Match, HSVB&IRC has implemented the ASPCA's Meet Your Match SAFER™ (Safety Assessment For Evaluating & Rehoming) program - a tool for assessing the probability of future canine aggression. Ask us for more details.
Open Daily: 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Tuesday: 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
2. Finalize your selection with a Shelter visit.
You must come to the Shelter to adopt. Animals cannot be "reserved" and all animals are subject to prior adoption.
3. Complete a Meet Your Match Adopter Survey.
Adopting a dog or cat? We take an extra step to ensure that you'll carry home an animal that is suited for you and your lifestyle. Read more...
SUGGESTION: To simplify your adoption process, download and complete an Adopter survey from our website before your Shelter visit.
4. Pay The Adoption Fee.
When you take your adopted animal home, you're set. We've already provided spay/neutering, vaccinations, medical care, microchipping, and much more. Learn what we do for dogs. ...for cats.
•Patron Pets $175
•Senior Patron Pets (5+ yrs) $100
•Puppies (4 months or less) $150
•Kittens (4 months or less) $100
•Dogs $90
•Cats $70
•Senior Cats & Dogs (5+ yrs) $50
Adoption fees may vary from time to time and are subject to promotions, discounts, and increases.
5. Introduce Your Pet to His New Home.
Now, you're both happy!
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Verizon Wireless Fined $25 Million For Bogus Fees... But May Have Still Made Out Profitably
from the doing-the-math dept
Of course, as Broadband Reports points out, something in the math doesn't make sense. This apparently went on for 2 to 3 years and impacted 15 million customers. While not every customer was charged the fee every month, many claim they did see it pretty much every month. So, start doing the math. Even if we assume that, say, one third of the users saw it every month for just one year and the rest saw it only once, we're already talking $90 million. But if it's true that many of them saw it for multiple years, and even if you throw in the $25 million fine, it sounds like Verizon Wireless could come out ahead in the end... Oh, and in case you were wondering, Karl Bode confirmed that no one at the FCC audited Verizon Wireless's estimates for how many people were charged this fee, so it's going on faith that Verizon Wireless -- who for years denied this fee existed -- is telling the truth about how many times it was charged.

- How to Read a Study Record
Dolutegravir (DTG, GSK1349572 is an integrase inhibitor that is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. DTG is primarily metabolized by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) with cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 pathway as a minor route. Corticosteroids have demonstrated induction effects on UGTs and CYP3A4. Corticosteroids are often used in HIV-infected subjects and have the potential to reduce DTG exposure due to enzyme induction when co-administered. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether concomitant prednisone administration can affect the pharmacokinetics (PK) of DTG.
The study is a two part, two period, open label study. Part 1 will evaluate the effect of a high prednisone dose on DTG PK with the potential for an additional Part 2 depending on the results from Part 1. In Part 1, approximately 12 healthy subjects will receive DTG 50mg q24h for 5 days in Period 1. Subjects will then be administered DTG 50mg q24h in combination with prednisone 60mg for 5 days followed by a 5 day taper (total duration of 10 days) in Period 2. PK data of DTG will be obtained from Part 1 and used to inform decision making on the need for Part 2. If DTG exposure is reduced by more than 50% in Part 1, Part 2 will be carried out where a second cohort of subjects will receive DTG 50mg q24h DTG for 5 days in Period 1 followed by DTG 50mg q24h in combination with prednisone 20mg for 5 days followed by a 5 day taper (total duration of 10 days) in Period 2. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples for DTG will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. All doses of study drugs will be taken following a moderate fat meal. This study will be conducted at one center in the United States, with healthy adult male and female subjects.

Cespedes, Crisp injured before A's walk off
OAKLAND -- Outfielders Yoenis Cespedes and Coco Crisp were injured during Friday night's opener with the Detroit Tigers, forcing the A's to finish their dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory in 12 innings without a designated hitter.
Manager Bob Melvin wasn't sure when Crisp was injured, only saying he tweaked his left groin "somewhere along the way."
Cespedes hurt his hand while being thrown out at second base on a steal attempt that ended the eighth inning. After receiving some attention from the medical staff, he stayed in the game and moved to center field when Crisp left the game in the top of the 11th, but he was unable to swing the bat, so Derek Norris pinch-hit for him in the bottom of the inning.
"X-rays were negative," Melvin said. "We'll see how he is tomorrow."
With no more position players available, Melvin spoke to home-plate umpire Paul Nauert to clarify his options. Chris Young, who hit for Seth Smith at the DH spot in the seventh, trotted out to center while relief pitcher Jerry Blevins, who recorded five outs, took over in the cleanup spot originally occupied by Cespedes.
"If someone was on base, I could bunt him over, otherwise I'd try not to embarrass myself," Blevins said.
Luckily no pitcher had to worry about stepping in the batter's box. Chris Resop, who relieved Blevins with two outs in the 12th, was four batters back when Josh Donaldson's walk-off homer ended the game.

The Bad Luck Bears
The bears keep hoping for something to serve as a catalyst to reverse this market but, so far, they are out of luck. They are even trying to spin the potential delay of the debt-ceiling issue as a negative but the market disagrees. When you are short, everything looks like a good reason for a selloff.
I suspect that when the market does reverse, it will occur intraday, after a strong open on seemingly positive news. A negative reaction to good news is when the market starts to top. All we've seen lately is a positive reaction to good news. There aren't many signs of fatigue, although upside momentum has been limited....85 more words left in this article.

The guys over at AnandTech did a write up on most of the new all in one liquid coolers. If you are looking at purchasing one of these units might want to head over to Anandtech before you make your purchase. Click here to read the review.
That we have three new closed loop coolers available for review not long after the last roundup should tell you that the closed loop cooler market is, if you'll forgive the expression, heating up. On the heels of NZXT's Kraken X40 and X60, Corsair has their own H90 and H110 coolers based on the same Asetek 140mm and 280mm radiators. Our newer, potentially even more exciting competitor comes from Swiftech in the form of the 240mm H220. Unlike conventional closed loop coolers, Swiftech's entry uses high quality brass tubing and copper fins in the radiator along with their own specially designed pump and extra thick (yet still flexible hoses). Is it enough to shore up the difference between traditional 240mm radiators and monstrous 280mm ones?

Creative Uses of Surveys & Polls Can Perk Up PR Campaigns

We're all under the gun to produce more content than ever before, and at the same time, it's increasingly difficult to garner audience attention. In advance of next week's free webinar, Staying Top of Mind Through Creative Content Generation, we invited Jason Miller, social media manager for Zoomerang, to share some ideas on using surveys and polls as the basis for different types of content.
Using online surveys to supplement your PR efforts is a creative, fun way to stay visible and connect with your clientele, and sharing the results from your survey with a press release can be a great source of content for writers and bloggers looking for an angle on their article.
A great example is the recent survey from Dunkin Donuts conducted for National Coffee Day. The results spawned a healthy buzz of press around the results.
Using an online survey to ask 4700 US workers about their coffee habits, Dunkin found that 34 percent of respondents said they need coffee to get through the workday and that, of those, 46 percent said they are less productive without coffee.
Additional results included a list of professions who reported being less productive without coffee. Included on the list were scientists, lab technicians, marketing folks, physicians, editors, writers, and ironically enough, public relations professionals. These results transformed into a blitz of articles including titles such as "The 15 Professions that Need Coffee the Most" and "Nearly One Half of all Workers Claim they are less Productive without Coffee".
John Costello, chief global customer and innovation officer at Dunkin' Brands said, "National Coffee Day is the perfect time to celebrate coffee's unique place as a staple in our daily lives. As these survey results show, coffee continues to play an increasingly important role in the workplace, helping to jumpstart people across all professions in the morning and keep them going throughout their busy workday."
Surveys in the digital age are one of the more affordable tools for small businesses to gain a clear understanding of their marketplace and to put that knowledge to work for their marketing or PR efforts. It's a fantastic way to get a quick snapshot of what a demographic is thinking or feeling about a particular topic.
Want to learn more? Zoomerang and PR Newswire are hosting a free webinar next week on using surveys and polls to augment your content generation strategy. You'll come away from the session with some great ideas, tips and tactical advice – and you'll see some fantastic examples of how others have turned data into stories that capture the attention of media and online audiences.

Love it.....I usually don't believe the hype and am very skeptical BUT I love this product. I used it the first time and no joke, my co-worker asked me if I got a facial. I couldn't believe it. This worth your money. Use it before going out for that extra firm glowy look. — 7 years, 6 months agopattypoop | 1 reviews

RegeneristI think this is a wonderful product; although, I am almost 68 years old, I was blessed with 'good' complextion. I have used Olay products for years. Received a $$ off coupon for Regnerist, so, decided to try it. I think it is wonderful. I love the way my skin looks and feels. I'm sold on Regenerist!

great stuff!I bought this system skeptical of what is was going to do. From the first time i used it i was hooked. I actually saw the dead skin floating around in the sink. My face felt like it has never felt before. Smooth like a baby's. The lifting cream really works. I noticed a difference after the first time I used it. You could feel your skin getting tight. After a few weeks it made a considerable difference to my appearance. Great Job Olay! — 8 years, 4 months agotrouble622 | 1 reviews

WOW!Ok, just purchased this, so take this review for what I can offer on ONE application. WOW! My face, in one application already feel tighter, firmer, and softer, WITHOUT A DOUBT! I applied it before bedtime last night and I am AMAZED at the results. My face DEFINITELY FEELS AS IF IT HAS MORE ELASTICITY! I just can't believe it actually feels TIGHTER AND LIFTED!!!!! I'd give it a 10, but for some re...read moreason, I ended up with a minor breakout (one pimple) that had been a tough one to get rid of, I might add (it came to a head this morning) I did use my trusty ProActive 3-step program (minus the 3rd step, didn't want to add one moisturizer with another) and I'm not sure if that's what caused the 'breakout'? But, either way, a pimple that had been a tough one to get rid of is now HEALING, and my face feels EXACTLY as this product describes. Definitely worth the purchase and $ (shop around though....I got mine at WalMart for $17, bought 2, in fact.....and Rite Aide had it for $29) Going to keep using this gem!! — 8 years, 4 months agomistme | 1 reviews

Love this kit!I bought this in the hopes that it would help firm up my neck area. I've tried quite a few neck firming products from serums to creams that just don't do what they say they do. That's why I was so pleasantly surprised that this product works as well as it does. I use it during my morning shower and can feel how much firmer my neck area feels after I use this. My neck area looks softer, feels tighter. I personally use it every day and am tankful I found it. — 8 years, 5 months agoQnyx67 | 23 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

TORONTO — Leanne Silberberg grew up in a traditional Jewish home in Portland, Ore. – a city where she says "everything goes," citing socks and sandals as an example.
"It's an amazing, beautiful city," the 22-year-old told The CJN. "We're surrounded by the beach on one side, and the mountain on the other. Everything's green, and it rains a lot, but it's the price you pay for the beautiful scenery."
Silberberg, who moved to Toronto in September, teaches Grade 4 at the Forest Hill Jewish Centre's Temmy Latner Hebrew School, and also works part time at Bais Chomesh High School teaching algebra. As well, she volunteers at a speech pathology lab at the University of Toronto.
The oldest of three children of South African immigrants – her father is a doctor and her mother a teacher – Silberberg was born in Sudbury, Ont. She spent her early childhood in Hamilton, and has family in Thornhill as well as London.
A recent graduate of McGill University, where she completed a bachelor of arts and science degree in psychology and linguistics, Silberberg is now taking distance education courses in communication sciences and disorders. She hopes to begin a master's degree in speech pathology next year.
Shortly after arriving in Toronto, Silberberg was hired by Rifky Karfunkel, principal of the Temmy Latner Hebrew School, after contacting her at the suggestion of mutual friends.
Karfunkel told The CJN that Silberberg is very creative in the classroom, using songs, rhymes and hands-on activity to impart lessons to her students.
"I try to make it hands-on for [the students]," Silberberg said. "When we were learning about Shabbat, I brought in challah dough, and we braided the challah dough."
Songs and mnemonics help students remember the material, she added.
Silberberg attended Jewish day school in Portland until Grade 8. She became involved in NCSY, the youth movement of the Orthodox Union, once it came to Portland, and spent a year in Israel after high school. During her gap year, she divided her time between studies at Jerusalem's Michlelet Esther and a leadership/travel program called Kivunim, which includes travel to countries such as India, Turkey and Greece to learn about Diaspora Jewry.
She's always loved working with kids, she said. In Israel, she volunteered in a multicultural classroom, and in Montreal, she tutored linguistics and math, and worked as a teen youth group co-ordinator. Her experience in Portland included stints as an assistant teacher, a tennis coach and a nanny for her rabbi's six children.
"I think you can learn so much from the way [kids] see the world."
A lesson from the teacher: "The more you put into anything, the more you get out of it."

No timetable for Zimmerman's return to Nats
WASHINGTON -- It's been almost a month since Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman suffered a Grade 3 hamstring strain, and the only thing he has done since that time is work out on an underwater treadmill. There is no timetable as to when Zimmerman will start baseball activities.
Zimmerman hurt the hamstring on July 22 while running to first base against the Rockies. While he is walking normally, Zimmerman can't do much else.
"There is no exact timetable. It's hard to put concrete dates on anything, because you just don't know. You are starting to feel better and that is a good sign," Zimmerman said. "I've been doing a few rehab things. There's really nothing you can do right now."
Zimmerman said he is not going to rush to get back on the field. He said the chances of reinjuring the hamstring if he rushed back are sky high.
"For as hard as it is, you have to think about the future," he said.
It appears that Anthony Rendon could be the Opening Day third baseman next season, and Zimmerman has already said Rendon is the best man for the job. If that's the case, Zimmerman could be the starting first baseman, but that's not certain given Adam LaRoche having a mutual contract option for 2015.
Zimmerman can also play left field. He has looked comfortable while playing 26 games there this season.
Asked what position he would like to play next year, Zimmerman said, "That's going to be a conversation that I will have with [general manager] Mike [Rizzo], [manager] Matt [Williams] and the other guys who make that decision. You want to help them out the best way they can to construct a team. It's hard to think about next year with the way this team is playing and how exciting the season has been. I think there are considerations to be thought about. I think it's unfair to talk about that stuff when there is something so special [going on]."
