Settlement ensures people with Alzheimer's access to rehabilitative services
As one of the plaintiffs in the federal class action lawsuit Jimmo v. Sebelius, which challenged the Medicare Improvement Standard, the Alzheimer's Association applauds the recently announced proposed settlement. The long-practiced Medicare Improvement Standard provided that Medicare beneficiaries must achieve demonstrable improvements in order to receive rehabilitative services, such as physical, speech and occupational therapy. Without these demonstrable improvements, Medicare would not pay for these services. Now, under the settlement agreement, Medicare will pay for these services if they maintain the patient's current condition or prevent or slow further deterioration.
The Association believes that eliminating the Improvement Standard is very important for the health and well-being of the growing number of Americans with Alzheimer's disease. As an organization that has advocated for these changes on behalf of the millions of Americans living with Alzheimer's and the millions more who will face the disease in the future, the Association determined it was important to join this lawsuit to secure these changes.
More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease, a progressive and fatal degenerative disease that today has no cure. Most individuals with Alzheimer's are Medicare beneficiaries age 65 and older and are high users of health care and long-term care services. Since Alzheimer's disease is progressive in nature, most individuals affected by the disease are unlikely to improve. However, rehabilitative services, including speech, occupational and physical therapy, can help those with Alzheimer's maintain their current function.
Older people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias have more skilled nursing home stays and home health care visits than other older people without dementia. According to the Alzheimer's Association's 2012 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report, in 2008 there were 349 skilled nursing facility stays per 1,000 Medicare beneficiaries compared with 39 stays per 1,000 beneficiaries without these conditions. The same year, 23 percent of Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's and other dementias had at least one home health visit, compared with 10 percent of Medicare beneficiaries without these conditions. If individuals with Alzheimer's do not have these necessary services, it can hasten their decline and accelerate the need for more expensive services, such as hospitalizations or placement in a nursing home.
"The Alzheimer's Association applauds this settlement decision. It ensures that a beneficiary's potential for improvement will not be the determining factor, but a coverage decision will instead be based on the beneficiary's need for skilled care. This is a significant victory for the Alzheimer's community," says Robert Egge, vice president of public policy for the Alzheimer's Association. "The Association has long advocated for this development and believes this decision will provide significant assistance to individuals with Alzheimer's who need these services to maintain their current function and extend their quality of life."

A 56% jump in shares of El Pollo Loco LOCO, -1.37% which had their stock-market debut Friday, highlighted the difference between the price charts of some of the biggest fast-food restaurants. Chipotle Mexican Grill shares have been a favorite of investors, while Potbelly shares have been flattened.
What does Wall Street think of your favorite fast-food restaurant?
Chipotle Mexican Grill shares CMG, -0.74% have been a favorite among investors in 2014. They have climbed 26% so far this year to close at a record high Friday, compared with a 7% year-to-date gain for the S&P 500. On Tuesday, the stock shot up 12%, its biggest one-day gain in nine months, after Chipotle posted blowout second-quarter results.
The company, with a market capitalization of $21.8 billion, has nearly 1,700 restaurants throughout the U.S., along with some international locations. It offers Mexican food "with integrity," prepared in assembly-line fashion to a customer's specifications. Prices on burritos, tacos and salads range from around $6 to $9, depending on the location and ingredients.
Total sales in the second quarter totaled $1.95 billion, an increase of 27% from the same period last year. Same-store sales, or sales of stores open at least a year, increased 15.5% from a year ago.
Shares of Burger King Worldwide US:BKW have run up 16% in 2014, but nearly all of those gains were made during the first two months of the year. Since then, the shares have chopped around, mostly within a range of $25 to $27.
With a $9.3 billion market cap, Burger King is slated to report second-quarter results on Aug. 1. Through March 31, the original "home of the Whopper" was the second-largest fast-food hamburger chain in the world, operating over 13,000 locations in 97 countries and territories.
With all of the Burger King locations owned and operated by independent franchisees, total company sales in the first quarter rose 6.9% to $240.9 million, while same-store sales increased 2%.
Jack in the Box's stock JACK, -2.56% has advanced 15% in 2014, but, as in the case of Burger King, the bulk of those gains were made during the first two months of the year. Since then, the stock has been on a roller coaster, rising to an all-time closing high of $62.22 in mid-March, before sliding to below $53 in late April, and then rising back above $60 earlier this month before pulling back again.
Based in San Diego, the $2.3 billion market-cap company operates more than 2,250 fast-food hamburger joints in 21 states — the Jumbo Jack is its signature burger — under the Jack in the Box name. The company also operates more than 600 Qdoba Mexican Grill restaurants in 46 states; Washington, D.C.; and Canada. Qdoba is viewed as a direct rival to Chipotle.
Jack in the Box is slated to reported its second-quarter results on Aug. 4. For the quarter ending April 14, total sales fell 1.8%, while system-wide same-store sales increased just 0.7%.
Domino's Pizza shares DPZ, +0.51% have gained 6.6% to date in 2014 but are down almost 9% from a 52-week high of $80.61 hit in March. Since then the shares have fallen to as low as $70.30 in choppy trade.
Domino's has a market cap of $4.1 billion and reported second-quarter earnings of 67 cents a share, up from 57 cents a share in the year-earlier period and ahead of the consensus of 66 cents a share. Revenue climbed 8.8% to $450.5 million, also topping the analyst estimate of $442.1 million.
Domino's, founded in 1960 by brothers James Monaghan and Thomas Stephen Monaghan, operates a network of company-owned and franchised stores across the U.S. and overseas. The company has about 1,000 independent franchise owners in the U.S. and delivers more than 1 million pizzas a day worldwide, according to its website.
U.S. consumers are lovin' McDonald's Corp. less and less, and the fast-food giant is struggling to get sales back on track. Sales in its home market fell 1.5% in the second quarter, the company said earlier this month, and market share there has dropped for the past two years, according to Euromonitor data.
Even Wall Street analysts are turning skeptical on the $94 billion company, which boasts that it serves 70 million customers each day in more than 35,000 locations across 100 countries. The share price MCD, +0.41% is down more than 1% so far this year and has slumped 7% from a May peak.
"Same-store sales continue to fall short, and we believe there to be a lack of identifiable catalysts on the horizon," Sterne Agee analyst Lynn Collier wrote in a note to clients in recent days. "We think [McDonald's] new-product pipeline has generally been uninspiring."
McDonald's has said it aims to simplify its U.S. menu and is testing customized and personalized orders.
Food-safety concerns in China have buffeted shares of Yum Brands YUM, -0.47% the operators of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands. Shares are off about 2% so far this year, largely because of a plunge of more than 10% in the wake of disappointing earnings earlier this month.
The stock took another hit after a Shanghai television report this month said Shanghai Husi Food Co., a Yum supplier owned by Illinois-based OSI Group, had sold it expired beef and chicken. Yum Brands suspended purchases from the firm.
China accounted for 35% of the company's operating profit last year. Yum earlier this month said sales in its China division jumped 21% in the second quarter, which ended June 14, compared with a year ago, beating worldwide sales gains of 6%.
Yum has more than 13,000 restaurants worldwide, including those operated by franchisees.
Papa John's shares PZZA, -1.83% are down 2.6% for the year so far and are almost 20% below their peak for the year of $55 hit in March.
The company has a market cap of $1.83 billion and is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on Aug. 5 and is forecast to post a per-share profit of 42 cents on sales of $382 million. That compares with per-share earnings of 77 cents in the year-earlier period and sales of $349.2 million.
The company was founded in 1985 by John Schnatter in Jeffersonville, Ind., who has built it to a network of more than 4,400 restaurants worldwide and $3 billion in total system sales.
Wendy's Co. has seen its shares WEN, +0.18% drop nearly 8% in 2014 to a Friday closing price of $8.27. Shares reached an intraday 52-week high of $10.27 on Feb. 26. Since then, the price has fallen, except for a brief upswing that began on June 17, when shares moved above their 50-day moving average of $8.34, and ended July 9, when they closed below it.
Wendy's is the third-largest hamburger chain in the world, with about 6,650 locations, 77% of which are franchised. The company has a market capitalization of $3.04 billion.
The company is slated to report second-quarter earnings before the market opens on Aug. 7.
Shares of Panera Bread US:PNRA have slumped 18% this year and have fallen steadily to close Friday at a two-year low.
The company, headquartered in St. Louis, owned and franchised about 1,800 bakery-cafes as of April 1, located primarily in malls across the U.S., and in Ontario, Canada.
Panera, with a $3.9 billion market cap, is scheduled to reveal second-quarter results on July 29. In the first quarter, total sales increased 8% from a year ago to $605.3 million, while system-wide same-store sales increased just 0.1%.
Shares of Potbelly PBPB, -4.23% have been shunned by investors ever since they went public in October 2013. So far this year, the shares have tumbled 52%. They lost nearly one-third of their value on July 10, after the company warned that it expected a decline in sales in the second quarter.
The Chicago-based, $343 million company, which refers to itself as a "neighborhood sandwich concept," operates over 300 shops in the U.S. The company said it expects to report sales of $83.6 million, up 6.9% from a year ago, for the quarter ending in June, while same-store sales are expected to decline 1.6%.
Potbelly is scheduled to report results on Aug. 5.

A recent spate of copper thefts from air conditioning units in Chiefland has police scratching their heads.
"So far, we've had no luck," said Chiefland Police Deputy Chief Al Graves Friday about 13 thefts from homes, churches and businesses that started mid-March.
The latest thefts, according to police, happened on May 19 and involved stolen copper from units at two businesses and one home, all on the north side of town.
"It's frustrating," Graves said, adding that it's been hard to find a pattern in the crimes, which, early on, were concentrated on the south end of town.
Graves said he believes the thefts, now "well into the thousands (of dollars)," are connected and that the crimes may involve a two-person team who mostly operate in the early morning hours after midnight.
"And I think they're getting better and faster," Graves said, adding that the culprits manage to disconnect the copper tubing and fittings within minutes.
Though police are sketchy on the details, Graves said there's some indication to believe the thieves may be using a white pickup truck and may also be connected to recent thefts in Gilchrist County.
Anyone noticing suspicious activity or who may have information on the thefts is urged to call the Chiefland Police Department at 493-6777 or the Levy County Sheriff's Office at 486-5111.

Fun-loving Jimenez grabs Open midway through a perilous Open at Muirfield; Tiger 1 shot back
GULLANE, Scotland – Miguel Angel Jimenez is the leader heading to the weekend at the British Open.
The 49-year-old Spaniard shot an even-par 71 Friday for a one-stroke over a group that includes Tiger Woods.
On a day when only four players have shot in the 60s, Jimenez produced a steady round that included two birdies, two bogeys and 14 pars. He's at 3-under 139 after two days.
In addition to Woods and Johnson, the group at 140 also includes Lee Westwood, Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson. Angel Cabrera and first-round leader Zach Johnson are another stroke back.
Jimenez is trying to become the oldest major champion in golf history. Julius Boros was 48 when he won the PGA Championship.
Among those missing the cut: Rory McIlroy and U.S. Open champ Justin Rose.

Lung Transplantation
Alpha-1 antitrypsin and lung transplant
If an individual has alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and gets a lung transplant, do they still take the weekly injections of alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor?
Among lung transplant experts there is no clear consensus regarding the need for continuation of alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor infusions following lung transplantation.
While in the body there remains an excess of proteinases with respect to proteinase inhibitors following transplantation and thus a theoretical benefit to continuing such proteinase inhibitor infusions, there is no compelling evidence that the transplanted lung suffers injury from not continuing these infusions.
What is likely more important than the continued infusion of proteinase inhibitor is the abstinence of cigarette smoking, which clearly "tips the balance" in favor of the injurious proteinases. Because of this lack of consensus, some lung transplant programs have recommended continuation of the proteinase inhibitor infusions while other programs have not.

- SWT API is not fully implemented : some standard SWT methods may be missing.
- Community testing : while Gallery works great, it is only used in a few projects at the moment. Community testing and feedback is required to ensure the code can be considered as "Generally Available" level.
- Renderer API may change while more features are added.
- The code has to be reviewed by other Nebula and SWT developers before the 1.0 release.
The following applications are known to use the Gallery widget.
Gallery was a part of this projet before joining Nebula. This is currently the most complete usage of the widget.
The main window uses a Gallery widget with the following settings : SWT.MULTI | SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.VIRTUAL with DefaultGalleryGroup, DefaultGalleryItem and ListItem renderers. The virtual mode allows instant population with more than 9000 items. Realtime item resizing, auto margins, drop shadows, drag and drop and context menus are used.
The fullscreen slideshow also uses SWT.SINGLE | SWT.V_SCROLL with NoGroupRenderer and DefaultGalleryItemRenderer
The SWT.H_SCROLL flag works but is less tested than V_SCROLL. Since 20070727, horizontal scrolling is supported by both DefaultGaleryGroup and NoGroupRenderers.

LED Equipment Spending on Track for a 2014 Rebound
By Tom Morrow, SEMI
The LED industry is working through its over-capacity problems and will renew capital spending and capacity increases in 2014. According to the SEMI Opto/LED Fab Forecast quarterly on HB-LED front-end fabs, 2014 LED wafer fab equipment spending will rise 17 percent to nearly $1.2 billion in 2014, following a 30 percent decline this year and 45 percent decline in 2011. Equipment spending trends also reveal a new era in the LED industry as equipment spending now is concentrated among the industry leaders, and aspiring survivors, rather than widely distributed among new entrants to the industry or new technologies.
Following the explosion in LED interest sparked by the LED TV boon and exuberant optimism for the long-term growth in solid state lighting, the LED industry dramatically expanded worldwide capacity over the past three years, partly fueled by lucrative government subsidies in China. Total worldwide capacity rose 49 percent in 2011 and 39 percent in 2012 and continued to grow by 19 percent this year. Driven by national and provincial subsidy and incentive programs, China LED manufacturing rose from approximately 100,000 4" equivalent wafers per month in 2010 to an astounding 620,000 4" wafers per month this year.
Much of this capacity expansion was driven by extremely optimistic forecasts in 2010 and 2011 that the LED market would grow to over $20 billion as soon as 2015. Current market forecasts for the packaged LED market in 2015 hover around $15 billion with compound annual growth rates below 5 percent. Principle reasons for the decline in growth forecasts are the greater efficiency (i.e. improved light guides in displays) in using LEDs, the greater efficacy of packaged LEDs, and the minimum size of a replacement market for LED lamps. According to Strategies Unlimited, the average cost per kilo lumen has declined from $13 in 2011 to less $3.65 today. The number of LEDs used in TVs has declined by one-third and many SSL luminaires require less than half the LEDs used just a few years ago. LEDs in mobile devices and notebook computers have also declined. Automotive remains a growth market, but represents only around 10 percent of the market.
With so much new capacity, new entrants, and declining growth rates, prices for packaged LEDs dramatically declined in recent years, creating severe financial hardship for many, especially new entrants and those restricted to lower margin mid- and low-power segments. Fab utilization dropped worldwide, especially in China. Sales for MOCVD systems, the critical production tool for LED epitaxial operations, plummeted. Leading MOCVD companies, Veeco and Aixtron, who saw sales triple in 2010, watched revenues plummet by nearly the same amount in 2012.
EPISTAR, Philips, Samsung, RPI, SORAA, and more to speak at LED Taiwan 2013, co-located with SEMICON Taiwan on September 4-6
LED Taiwan is the premier platform to showcase products, technologies, and services for LED manufacturing in the world's leading LED market.
It is the best opportunity to learn from technologists and connect with buying teams from the largest names in LED manufacturing, both in Taiwan and around the world.
LED Taiwan: visit www.semicontaiwan.org/en/Pavilions/LED.
SEMICON Taiwan: visit www.semicontaiwan.org/en/
Compensating for some the decline in packaged LED prices are steep declines in sapphire wafers, used by over 80 percent of the LED industry. Sapphire prices for 4" wafers are now approximately $32, down from their high of $130 in 2011, and 6" inch sapphire prices are now below $300, down from $450 eighteen months ago. Patterned sapphire substrates have rapidly become standard at 2" and 4" and are promising for 6" wafers. Declining sapphire prices and continued competitiveness of silicon carbide has dampened prospects for the penetration of GaN on Silicon in LEDs, once thought likely if not inevitable. A new report, titled "Dimming the Hype: GaN-on-Si Fails to Outshine Sapphire by 2020," by Lux Research sees SiC and sapphire continuing to dominate the LED market, benefitting from added capacity and continued technology improvements. The report says that "new methods like hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) will further improve throughput and cut costs, keeping sapphire highly competitive for the rest of the decade."
The global LED industry now appears to be stabilizing as leading manufacturers invest in 6" wafer production systems and associated equipment purchases to deliver improved yield and throughput. Recent LED manufacturing investment has centered on the move to 6" wafers by Cree (Silicon Carbide), Philips and OSRAM (Sapphire). Nichia continues to invest in capacity and technology improvements, and Epistar, Formosa Epitaxy, and Genesis Photonics from Taiwan all made significant manufacturing investments this year. Nearly leading manufacturers appear to be modernizing their production systems with increased in investments in metrology, automation, etch, and lithography.
China will resume its MOCVD purchasing in 2014 in the absence of government subsidies. SEMI estimates a nearly 50 percent increase in MOCVD reactors will be purchased in 2014, up from 150 reactors purchased in 2013. At the same time, many LED fabs will close or be repurposed in China as the market consolidates and non-competitive players disappear. San'an with over 120 MOCVDs and ETi (Elec-Tech) with 90 reactors are operating at increasing fab utilization rates and appear to be emerging as significant players. Some medium-size LED fabs in China like Canyang Opto and HC Semitek are also operating at near full capacity and are optimistic for their future. China will represent approximately 44 percent of total equipment spending in 2014, up from 33 percent in 2013. More information will be available at LED Taiwan 2013, which is co-located with SEMICON Taiwan, on September 4-6.
In conclusion, the global LED manufacturing market appears to be stabilizing and working through its rapid capacity expansion of 2010-2012. Significant packaged LED price declines have been partially offset by wafer cost reduction, yield improvements and wafer size increases. Global leaders like Nichia, Cree, Philips, Osram, and LG Innotek have continued to modernize their production operations for improved yield and throughput. The shakeout of the China market has begun and the survivors look to have staying power for long-term competitiveness.
With the overall LED market appearing to have modest growth rates for the next five years, and with many manufacturers being vertically integrated lighting manufacturers, the incentives for significant investments in manufacturing to gain cost advantage and market share are not high. In addition many mid-power packaged LEDs are migrating to lighting applications once thought reserved for advanced high-power products, opening up market opportunities for Chinese companies. However, many lighting manufacturers are looking to reduce parts count (die sizes, package and phosphor types) and stabilizing their product lines after many years of dynamic technology change, limiting the demand for new suppliers and product-types. It seems the stakes for success in the LED marketplace have revealed themselves and it remains to be seen how competition drives further manufacturing investments in the coming years.
Tom Morrow, VP and CMO of SEMI, will be speaking at the LEDs Conference on October 28-29 in Boston, MA. This year's conference, entitled, LEDs & the SSL Ecosystem 2013: Phase 2, the Path to Profit, will feature speakers from OSRAM, Philips, Acuity, Cree, Canaccord Genuity, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and many more.

By far the worst gluten free pizza I've had. Burnt on the outside, rubbery in the middle, and pepperoni is the only option.
|Celiac friendly
Not much GF to choose from. I got their GF pizza, and I could have cried! It was this flimsy, chef boyardee looking pizza on a metal tray. I couldn't modify the toppings...it was either with or without pepperoni. It tasted ok, but I prefer Livingston County Pizza as it looks and tastes delicious, and I know it's made fresh and didn't come from the freezer.
|Not celiac friendly
The GF pizza is good, but I got horribly sick for days. Even missed work which never happens!
Mark's Pizzeria makes a totally awesome GF pizza. It has a thin crust, great sauce, and they deliver in 40 minutes or less!!!
The GF pizza was delicious!! It was a thin crust, but it was very delicious!
619 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY 14607
Best gluten free pizza crust I have had!
318 S Transit St, Lockport, NY 14094
I am thinking that if my gluten free pizza was not so burned it might of tasted better. very disappointing!
318 S Transit St, Lockport, NY 14094
Gluten free pizza crust with cheese & pepperoni. They can't guarantee other toppings. Great sauce & very tasty pizza! Little pricy.
8223 Oswego Road, Liverpool, NY 13090
Delicious gluten free pizza with careful and thoughtful preparation. Employees wash hands, change gloves and use dedicated gluten free utensils in a separate prep area. My daughter loves their pizza and has never felt sick (and she is very sensitive)
8351 Lewiston Road, Batavia, NY 14020
Didn't have great flavor. The non gf looked much better and tasted better according to non gf family.
|Celiac friendly
203 Lake St, Penn Yan, NY 14527
Horrible. This is a sad excuse for a pizza they shouldnt even serve gluten free here. My pizza came to me barely cooked and so floppy that the cheese literally slides right off so all youre eating is uncooked crust. I DO NOT suggest this store at all.
|Celiac friendly
619 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY 14607
girlfriend recently diagnosed with ciliac. Marks offered pizza prepared in gluten free environment. Didnt charge extra for gluten free. great experience!
2201 State Highway 96, Ovid, NY 14521
Though the atmosphere of this place looks shady and isn't very cozy for a pizzaria, I will admit the food was incredible and came out fast! I had the GF pepperoni pizza and the crust was ahhhh-maaaa-zing! It's delicious and cheap!
8351 Lewiston Road, Batavia, NY 14020
Very good about not cross contaminating. They make sure surface area is clean of contaminates.
29 E Genesee St, Auburn, NY 13021
Yucky crust may not even been cooked through. Terrible texture Syracuse has much better
2201 State Highway 96, Ovid, NY 14521
Asked for veggie. Although they said they only do cheese and pepperoni they let me get veggie.
29 E Genesee St, Auburn, NY 13021
Yummy pizza
105 Main St, Cortland, NY 13045
A pizzeria can't be gluten free...they serve gluten free crust but the ingredients r surrounded by flour..therefore cross contamination can make a serious celiac very sick...be careful when ordering

Hi there, I'm new to the group, new to being a mommy, new to breast feeding and just new in general! My little girl has really become a champion eater! About every 2-3 hours for about 30-35 min on each side. We take breaks to burp, change a diaper and coo a little, helps her wake up and get ready for round 2 so to speak. She is only 3 days by the way.
So anyway that's our game plan. She is happy, content, loving and so beautiful
But breast feeding has begun to hurt a little. I've tried to read past posts but I can't find anything on how long this initial pain will last and if it gets worse before it gets better. Believe me, I had no misconception breast feeding would be easy. I knew it came with trials and was gonna be an art to be mastered.
I had wonderful lactation support at the hospital who got me started and worked with me every step of the way. My nipples are flat plus one was inverted. So I needed help and they were so happy to help! I'm confident in my latch, we use the football hold because I have larger breasts.
So is this pain I'm experiencing really normal or is there more going on? If it is normal how long should I expect it? Should I be washing my breasts after every feeding? I'm using lanolin/medelas brand. That helps a little. I don't want to pump already, so I'm trying to get a grip on this before it's an actual problem. I have no high expectations or unrealistic ones. Just the hope that there is help.
Thanks ladies, sorry it's all over the place but I guess these are the organized thoughts of a new mommy <3

MADISON, Wis.—The public will get a chance to sound off on a bill that would establish a woodchuck hunting season in Wisconsin.
The state Assembly's Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage Committee has scheduled a public hearing on the measure for April 24 in the state Capitol.
The bipartisan measure would remove woodchucks from the state protected species limit and establish a season that would run from March 1 through Dec. 31. People with a small game or trapping license would be allowed to take an unlimited number.
The bill's supporters say the state's woodchuck population has grown and the animals are digging up the landscape.
Iowa, Michigan and Illinois all have woodchuck seasons.

GDT – Edmonton Oilers 0, Colorado Avalanche 3 – Feb 6, 2010 @ 8:00 PM – CBC – Game 57
The Oilers big 2 game winning streak came to a halt versus the Wild on Thursday where they were felled 4-2. They are 2-1-0 so far this month after going a whole month without a win. The Colorado Avalanche have just 1 win in their last 5 games after going on a 6 game winning streak. They'll look to get things back under control against a fellow struggling team. The Oilers are 2-7-1 in their last 10 and the Avalanche are 6-4-0 in their last 10.
Something tells me this will be another loss for the Oilers tonight. Prediction: CBC commentators will rip into the Oilers for being such a poor team at this that, and the other thing and mention how Dustin Penner looks lazy out there again. The last game these two teams played against each other, the Avalanche won 6-0.
Prediction: 4-1 for Colorado

"Viy" is a Soviet Union era movie about a young seminarian named Khoma, who takes some kind of pilgrimage with two other priests in training. On their first night they stop to sleep at an old woman's house. For some reason the old woman seems to take an liking to Khoma in particular, and she corners him in a stable, and she catches him and picks him up, and begins to fly through the countryside with him. Apparently the old woman is a witch and when Khoma realizes this he flips out and beats her to death with a stick, but before she dies she turns into a beautiful young woman.
The team reviews the latest comic book adaptation to hit theaters.
Get excited iApple iNerds! Ghost House has joined forces with Trigger Apps to develop a handy dandy "Evil Dead" shooter game for the iPhone and iPad. They follow the path of the first film and then branch off into a whole new storyline. It'll also come with Bryce Campbell's home phone number. Alright that might be a lie.
The advertising hot dogs behind the upcoming film "Priest" have jumped in to launch an online game for the film. The game can be played in both 2D and 3D, if you can find some glasses, and for those of you that are hammed right now it can even be played in 6D. Because you see double sometimes when you're drunk. Get it? It was either that or a "play with yourself" joke so consider yourselves lucky.
I'm a firm believer that if dogs have the opportunity they will turn on us and make us their slaves. For that reason it's pretty obvious that all dogs should be put in cages and treated like deadly criminals. Apparently though the makers of the new short film "Play Dead", which has a trailer and poster out on the tubes, think when the zombies take over "man's best friend" will be our only allies. Adorable idea, but completely inaccurate.
William Fichtner, who I'm 99% sure is a robot, is all ready to join the cast of Neill Blomkamp's new sci-fi flick "Elysium". The movie also stars Jodie Foster and Matt Damon or as I like to call them Fostermon. I don't think they're dating or anything but it's fun to make up names for people isn't it?
A new red band trailer for "Hobo with a Shotgun" has hit the nets and it's everything you could want and more. And by more I mean there's a Santa who gets his head shot off. Unless that is something you want, in which case I suggest you seek help immediatly. It's Santa you sicko.
A new trailer for "Insidious" chock full of random quotes from websites I've never heard of has found it's way online and the obvious question is why I haven't been contacted for a quote. I know the movie comes out today but it can't be too late to get in on this. Here goes, "Insidious" is the most frightening movie to ever be invented and will make you soil yourself in the best way possible! I'm a whore.
The MPAA has emerged from their castle high atop the mountain of doom and bestowed a PG-13 rating on the upcoming vampire hunter flick "Priest". I think you can say the F word once with that rating right? Oh man I hope they do it during some awesome fight scene or something. Like Priest kills a bunch of vampires and then looks at the screen and goes "Fuck yeah folks!". So awesome.
Well that's a bummer. David Ellis calling his next project "Untitled Shark Thriller 3D" was apparently all a big joke! The movie will in fact be titled the much more boring "Shark Night 3D". You think I like to be made a fool of, David? It's going to take a lot for me to get over this betrayal.
Up until this point I've been very excited about "Insidious" and all it's spooky haunted goodness. But now there's some new images and video from the flick that hits theaters on April 1st. I'm not 100% positive but from what I've seen I think the kid is being haunted by Lollapalooza roadies. Look at the spacers on that guy in the first photo. They guy just walked off the Horde tour. No one under 30 has any idea what I'm talking about.
With all the bad news surrounding "Men in Black III" I'm thinking the only thing that could save it would be one Mr. Alec Baldwin. Truth be told that's my remedy for a lot of things including this weird rash I've picked up. But much like my rash, Alec is unfortunately not going to be the film's saving grace. He had originally been scheduled to be in the film but now due to delays he's backed out and because of that we're left with a movie that's going to suck and an uncomfortable itch.
If you're going to go see "Priest" and expect him to be doing priesty type things then I'm going to tell you to not waste your time. Honestly after looking at the new stills and international poster for the flick I think it should be called "Weird Bald Guy With a Cross on His Head" or something like that. "Priest" would imply that he does some sort of church type activity and I see nothing but motorcycles and giant cartoon sticks of dynamite.
Lastly here's a new still from "Scream 4" which shows a grisly murder scene with all kinds of blood and someone hanging from the ceiling. My guess? This is some sort of stupid movie set or prank that isn't real at all. In fact I'm willing to bet you all that I'm correct. Anyone who wants in on this just mail me 5 bucks. When the movie comes out if it turns out this is in fact a real murder scene then I will send you all back 10 bucks and a diet coke. I promise.
I'm like a little school girl for the movie "Priest" and the new trailer has got me all in a tizzy. I'm flustered, light headed and I think I may of started menstruating. Wait there's vampires in it? Oh man I'm going home pregnant!
The problem with being awful with names is that every time you read a headline about some guy's next film you get kind of excited. So when I read that David Ellis' next flick is going to be "The Briar Lake Murders" I got interested. Then I found out David Ellis is the guy who directed "Snakes on a Plane" and I realized this news is useless. So don't bother reading it.
Here's the new trailer for Hammer Film's "The Resident". What did I learn? Well Christopher Lee is still alive so that's nice. What was confirmed? Hilary Swank is in fact a man, which is not very nice. It's not very nice at all is it.
Just days after Joe Johnston admitted that "The Wolfman" kind of sucked there is now talk that the film could be up for an Oscar. Now before you go renting a tux I should point out that it's for best makeup which to be fair "The Time Machine" remake was nominated four years ago and only one person in the world liked that. If you promise not to keep it I'll let you borrow the DVD.
It's a new week, that means a new "Predators" character profile. This week you can sneak a peek at Danny Trejo as "Cuchillo".
"Scream IV" makes the news blurbs once again, this time with a bit of a blast from the past. Rumors are starting to float that "Friday the 13th" vet Adrienne King will be in the film. While nothing has been said of the role, my own bet is that we'll see Ms. King in the film's traditional opening montage started by Drew Barrymore.
If you've been patiently waiting for another Paul Bettany fix in his upcoming vampire feature "Priest", prepare to be disappointed. Bumped recently to January 2011 in order to cash in on this whole 3-D craze, the film has now been bumped even further until March 2011. Continued delays? Always a good sign.
A short segment on Entertainment Tonight aired recently showing off the latest comic book adaptation flick "Priest". Based on the TokyoPop comic the film follows a priest who goes against the church in order to track down the vampire horde that kidnapped his brother.

As he travels around the country, musing aloud on his hopes for the future, Bill Clinton inspires an unintended melancholy about his presidency. He has big dreams for the country, bold convictions about reforming this and that, and he states them passionately, as always. He wants to bring Americans together. He embraces "fair trade" for the global economy and insists it can be reconciled with "free trade." He worries about global warming and warns that America must confront the problem, and that it can by employing already available technologies.
Last summer, Clinton chose the University of Chicago, mother church of laissez-faire economics, as the place to deliver a cogent rebuttal to Milton Friedman's utopian claim that an unfettered marketplace governs best. The free market, Clinton argued, needs strong social institutions to thrive–"a legal framework of mutual responsibility and social safety."
"All of us know that the problem with the new global economy is that it is both more rewarding and more destructive," Clinton told the graduates. "So the question is, how can we create a global economy with a human face–one that rewards work everywhere, one that gives all people a chance to improve their lot and still raise their families in dignity, and supports communities that are coming together, not being torn apart?"
The media largely ignored his remarks, and why not? Clinton, as President, consigned the malfunctioning global economy to the reform energies of the Business Roundtable and Wall Street. His Administration led cheers for multinational commerce, opened fragile economies to the manic surges of global capital and created the World Trade Organization to judge whether new social standards are, in fact, barriers to trade and therefore forbidden.
When Bill Clinton recites the big challenges, he reminds us of all he danced away from as President. The spirited reformer is the young man we met back in 1992, brimming with big ideas, but he is utterly unconvincing now. One feels sadness for the lost promise of this extraordinarily skillful politician. One also suspects that Clinton is trying to revise the public memory of his presidency, polishing his reformer image so that when future Presidents actually do take up these big ideas and confront the challenges, he will be able to claim parentage.
Clinton has taught Democrats to think small. And it works as politics in this media age, given his talent for emotive communication. Republicans are learning from him too, smoothing over their big ideas with more charm, less snarl. Clinton's many retreats from large purpose–accompanied always by small, symbolic gestures–were supposed to restore faith in government, bit by bit, and raise public expectations for genuine action. Instead, his political success has deepened the skepticism. For the cynical and disengaged, he confirms their assumption that politics is not real. For idealistic young people, who feel Clinton did the best he could, the message is that large ideas are simply impossible to achieve in this era.

Achieving these goals requires both a good theoretical understanding of programming language designs, and practical skills in the development of high quality compilers. The summer school is addressed to postgraduate students, researchers and industrials who want to learn about recent developments in programming language research, both in semantic theory and in implementation. The programme will consist of introductory and advanced courses on the following themes: - description of existing programming language features; - design of new programming language features; - implementation and analysis of programming languages; - transformation and generation of programs; - verification of programs. LOCATION The summer school is located in Caminha, a picturesque village by the sea and on the Rio Minho, on the northern border between Portugal and Spain. PROGRAMME - Andrew Pitts, Cambridge University. Operational Semantics. - John Hughes, Chalmers University, Eugenio Moggi, Genova University, and Nick Benton, Microsoft Research.

Federal officials will investigate airport security policies in light of last week's shooting at Los Angeles International Airport, including whether Transportation Security Administration officers should carry guns.
TSA Administrator John Pistole called for a review of policies with airport police after the shooting, which left one TSA officer dead and injured three others. Attorney General Eric Holder said an FBI investigation into the shooting will include a similar assessment.
"The investigation's obviously under way and a part of that investigation will be to review the security measures that were in place, not only at LAX, but I think a review of the security arrangements that exist in other airports, as well," Holder said.
Pistole said TSA will have to assess and evaluate the best approach for maximizing officer safety. The American Federation of Government Employees said part of that approach should be arming a certain subset of the agents.
AFGE National President J. David Cox proposed creating a "new class of TSA officers" that would be armed and could respond more quickly than police did at the LAX shooting.
"At this time, we feel a larger and more consistent armed presence in screening areas would be a positive step in improving security for both [transportation security officers] and the flying public," Cox said. Pistole did not rule out the possibility of arming agency employees, saying officials will look at "what provides the best possible security."
AFGE originally suggested simply giving all TSA officers arrest power, but later said such a move would not go far enough. Currently, TSA employees are not law enforcement officers, but instead focus on screenings for the flights themselves.
Lawmakers also weighed in on the need to further evaluate the safety procedures for TSA officers, including the possibility of arming the agents. Republicans such as Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. -- who has repeatedly bashed TSA and has introduced legislation to strip its employees of their badges and "officer" titles -- were quick to dismiss giving officers guns. Blackburn said arming TSA workers "would only make matters worse."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also dismissed the idea of providing TSA officers with firearms, saying "there are other ways that we can secure the safety of these airports." Instead, Reid said, airports should standardize the security measures taken at terminals across the country. After announcing the security policy review, Holder told CNN he too opposes arming TSA workers.
Several lawmakers supported the reviews and have called on TSA to look at how to better coordinate security efforts with local police.
Cox said that anti-TSA rhetoric puts the officers at risk, as they are not only subject to frequent physical attacks, but also daily verbal assaults.
Paul Ciancia, the alleged shooter, reportedly asked individuals in the terminal if they were TSA employees, and did not shoot when they said no. Witnesses said Ciancia "cursed the TSA" while moving through the terminal.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A flight attendant found a .22-caliber bullet on the floor Friday as passengers were boarding a Southwest Airlines plane headed from Portland to Chicago, delaying the flight nearly two hours.
A Port of Portland spokesman, Steve Johnson, says passengers were taken off the plane to be re-screened, and the plane was searched. He says all were cleared for the flight to take off. The port operates the Portland International Airport.
Johnson says the port is still looking into how the bullet got on the aircraft. A report from the port police agency said it was found near the front of the plane.
The bullet was found at about 6:15 a.m. on a flight with a scheduled 6:30 takeoff. The airline's website says it departed at 8:14 a.m.

Global commodities and equity markets are taking a tumble this morning. U.S. new home sales came out below expectations as deep concern builds over the U.S. fiscal cliff situation. December '12 E-mini S&P futures dropped on the news before regaining ground. The 1385 level is a key support area we are watching in the S&P 500. If the market close below this level our next potential target is at 1310.
In other major commodities news, natural gas futures continue their major volatility expansion, trading down almost 2.5% today. Crude Oil futures are also experiencing heavy selling, down nearly 2%. We are firm in our opinion that we will see $82 in crude oil as the supply glut gains stronghold on the market.
Precious metals are a big story as gold spiked $25 lower on the open. Silver futures, while not experience as sever a spike, are down more percentage-wise, trading down 77¢, or 2.27%. Platinum futures are also below the key $1,600 level, down 1.85% at $1588.
We maintain our bearish outlook on Sugar futures. Our key support level is 19¢, which has served as a floor since the summer. We believe sugar will break below this key $19 level as global economic concerns weigh on demand, along with increased sugar supplies.
Technical focus
December '12 E-mini S&Ps have been below our key 1420 pivot almost all of November;1385 is another very important pivot level. If 1385 can serve as a base, we could see a slow grind back up to 1420. However, if a U.S. slowdown story gains momentum we could see this market stay below 1385 and head towards 1310, with interim support around 1340.
We see an interesting scenario developing in the sugar futures market. Since June 2012, the 19¢ level has served as a solid support. Sugar tried multiple times, but has not been able to settle below 19¢ for more than one day. Sugar looks like it could break below 19¢ this time and head lower. The next major support level on a weekly chart is 15¢. On the fundamental side, Brazil's center-south region, the world's largest producer of sugar, churned out 1.74 million tons in the first two weeks of November, up 37% from the same fortnight last year. But first sugar must close below 19¢.

An Ohio Geomystery
Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous. There are some good comments there.
I had the good fortune of going out in the woods a few days ago with colleagues here at Kent State University. We were in a second growth forest, probably fairly typical for this part of northeastern Ohio. The upland forest had lots of maple trees, and the bottomland forests had cottonwood and sycamore. The forest is underlain by many meters of till (with silicic clasts) and below that are various sedimentary rocks. I was there to take a look at some small streams and wetlands as potential field and teaching sites. Towards the end of our tour, my colleague brought us past this site:
My colleague described the site as the ruins of a "sugar shack", which I connected with the maple trees to mean that this was the foundation of a small-scale maple syrup or sugar production facility.
But what really caught my eye were the tabular black rocks, which seemed completely out of character for the region.
So, I know what the black rocks are and I have a pretty good idea of why they are there, but I don't know where they originated. I'd like to hear from our readers what they know or can deduce about these mysterious black rocks of northeastern Ohio, so share your thinking in the comments. I bet together we can get to pretty good story of the human history of these geopuzzling erratics.

The ISO7820 is a
high-performance, dual-channel digital isolator with 8000 VPK isolation
voltage. This device has reinforced isolation certifications according to VDE, CSA, CQC, and TUV.
The isolator provides high electromagnetic immunity and low emissions at low power consumption,
while isolating CMOS or LVCMOS digital I/O's. Each isolation channel has a logic input and output
buffer separated by silicon dioxide (SiO2) insulation barrier.
ISO7820 has two forward channels and no reverse-direction channel. If the
input power or signal is lost, default output is high for the ISO7820 and low for the ISO7820F device. Used in conjunction with isolated power supplies, this device prevents noise
currents on a data bus or other circuits from entering the local ground and interfering with or
damaging sensitive circuitry. Through innovative chip design and layout techniques, electromagnetic
compatibility of ISO7820 has been
significantly enhanced to ease system-level ESD, EFT, Surge and Emissions compliance. ISO7820 is available in 16-pin SOIC wide-body (DW)
and extra-wide body (DWW) packages. The DWW package option comes
with enable pins which can be used to put the respective outputs in high impedance for multi-master
driving applications and to reduce power consumption.

Question & Answer
Questions about this product? Get answers from community and staff experts.
"Are the toes and heels reinforced? I always go through the toes and heels."
It has a little extra padding in the toe and heel, but not much. Overall, it is still a fairly thick sock, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem.
The heel and toe are not reinforced.
"I wear an 8 1/2 - 9 size women's shoe. What size do I need in this sock? I am wearing a pair that I've had for several years and love it, but don't recall what size I ordered. Thanks. "
I wear the same shoe size but sorry, I can't remember what size I ordered! And yes, I love the socks. I wore them in the snow of Arctic Norway and they kept my feet reasonably warm (I say reasonably warm because the temperature there is exceedingly cold!).
If you hover your mouse over or click on the sizes the corresponding numeric size will be displayed in male and female sizes.
I wear the same shoe size and I ordered the M/L which are too big. I would try the S/M. Unfortunately I didn't return mine so I don't know how the smaller size fits.
I am not familiar enough with women's sock sizing to offer accurate assistance, sorry! STP might have your order history available either online or by calling them.
hard to say exactly. I wear a men's 8.5 shoe size and ordered the M/L sock size....so maybe you need to order the S/M size in the sock?
"Ask a question about this product for our experts to answer.
what fibers is this sock woven from?"
Merino wool. These are excellent socks.
Merino wool
The product description mentions merino wool, but they are entirely unlike any merino socks I have ever owned. They are made in China, which might have something to do with it. The predominant fiber is something far too elastic for socks, resulting in a poor fit that gets looser over time. I sent all of mine back.
Merino Wool and a stretch material. I have several pairs and love them.
I purchased 4 pair after wearing I bought 6 more pairs
68% merino wool, 30% nylon, 2% spandex. My son loves them. Warm, not itchy (although I must admit, I was wary of the combo at first because I am a 100% cotton lover).
"I wear a size 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 shoe, depending on the shoe. I'm hesitant to get the size sock that says it fits sizes 8-11, because I am afraid it will be too big and not fit with my hiking boots. Any thoughts?"
A smaller size will be far too small for your foot. It will be a much better fit for you to get the 8-11 socks.
I wear a 9-1/2 and got the larger size. The socks are a bit big for me. I'd get the smaller size if I were you.
Hey these socks are really stretchy, I am a size 11 and they fit great, my wife wears my socks and she is only like a size 6, they just seem to fit any foot size well.
I bought large and wear size 11. They were plenty big on me. For your size I would choose the smaller.
Get the kind with light cushion
I think they'll be too big for you, I would go for the next smaller sock.
"Do these socks shrink? Thanks"
If you dry them on high heat they will shrink slightly but will stretch back out. I recommend low heat.
Not after one washing, at least. I would recommend these socks. They are well worth the money. Perhaps the best pair of merino socks I own. (and no, they're not the only pair I own)
not if you let them air dry after washing according to instructions. air drying takes overnight in a heated house.
When I wash I turn inside out and then I dry as per normal. I don't find that they shrink.
No shrinkage after 3 washing in hot to warm water and full heat drying
I just bought these socks, but they did not shrink after the first washing. I was careful to follow the simple washing instructions.
Ive used them frequently for a couple months and havent had any shrinkage.
Neither my wife or I have experienced any shrinkage in the S/M or M/L sizes, however, we wash them with other clothes and hang dry them.
They don't when dried on low temperature.
great socks. go everywhere. good for chilblaines. not tested below 6 degrees celcius.
"are these socks good for hiking in warm climate (rain forrest)?"
These are a midweight sock. I would recommend going for a lighter weight wool or synthetic material sock.

But with the help of his dog Snowy, the salty, cantankerous Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and the bumbling detectives Thompson & Thomson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost), Tintin will travel half the world, outwitting and outrunning his enemies in a breathless chase to find the final resting place of The Unicorn, a shipwreck that may hold the key to vast fortune... and an ancient curse.
