10 Advertising Resolutions for 2009
Most New Year's resolutions are about personal goals. Lose weight, reduce stress, manage debt, eat right. These are all worthwhile pursuits. But as we head into 2009, I'm here to provide a voice for the voiceless. You may not hear its pleas but I can assure you that your brand is crying out for a few resolutions of equal importance.
Now, please raise your right hand and repeat after me.
I will bust out the bar napkin.
In advertising, it's all about the big idea. Without one, strategies and media platforms mean nothing. So, if your advertising message lacks a big idea then task your team to put a pen to paper and create smart, ownable ideas worthy of your marketing dollars. Do this anywhere, any place, at any time.
I will brand from the inside out.
Texas-based success stories like Whole Foods and Southwest Airlines work hard to synchronize their brand personality, values and corporate culture. Do your employees understand, embrace and reflect your brand message? They need to.
I will police my brand.
Everything that touches your customer must have the same look and feel. Create a Brand Guidelines Manual and refer to it often. Make sure colors, fonts, tone and voice are always in sync.
I will utilize every touch point.
Nantucket Nectars puts fun trivia on the bottom of every bottle cap. Burger King serves up "Have it your way" messages on everything from tray liners to trash cans. You need to use all available touch points to spark a dialogue and build a relationship with your customer.
I will be media agnostic.
We recently had a client come to us "needing" a radio campaign. Our first question: Why radio? As it turned out, what they really needed was a targeted mix of print, online, direct mail and only ONE radio spot. Lesson: don't fall in love with any single tactic. The media landscape changes daily and what worked yesterday may not work today.
I will set aside personal biases.
Sorry, it's not about you. Or me. It's about the consumer. And all creative decisions should be made with this end user in mind. You may not like the Jonas Brothers, but if demographic research shows that your consumer does, you best tighten your lips and hum along.
I will increase search engine marketing.
This is the most cost-effective way to affect low-hanging fruit. Invest more into it and you'll see measurable results in real time.
I will be a smart email marketer.
Simplify your offer, strengthen and segment your list, fight spam and create a consistent distribution schedule. Such improvements will make email marketing an even stronger ally throughout this economic downturn.
I will Serph.
Set aside a few minutes every day to use
, a search engine that allows you to track online buzz in real time. Search for your name and company. See where people are talking about you and then join in on the conversation.
I will commit to the long haul.
Branding is a long-term investment. And the more consistently you invest, the better the payoff. Companies like Nike, Apple and Target embrace this concept. Smaller companies with less brand equity need to embrace this even more. It's akin to the most popular New Year's resolution of all: lose weight. There is no quick fix. But a long-term, dedicated program will yield powerful results that benefit body and brand for years to come.
Our Teen Years
Outside of NourzAds' first office in Elgin, Texas. Local fixtures (and brothers) John and Loyd point the way in.
Ah, bring on the Proactiv. This year Door Number 3 celebrates our 15th year and, unlike many 15 year olds, there are thankfully few awkward moments, no retainers (of the metal variety) and our room is pretty neat. The agency got its start in Elgin, Texas in 1994 as NourzAds, with MP working out of her home. Our inaugural client was Kendle International, a contract research organization out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Soon it was time to expand to offices in downtown Elgin, then a few years after that, a move to the nexus of Austin. Our client base has shifted from B-to-B to B-to-C over the years with lots of laughs, great clients, wonderful agency alumni and friends who have helped us get here. We've learned a lot along the way, weathered the dot com bust, changed our name, celebrated marriages, babies, birthdays, wins and losses (of all kinds), and continue to startle ourselves that we get to do what we do, make a living and have fun along the way.
Big shout out to our great staff and those NourzAds/Door Number 3 alums who are treasured FODN3. Many thanks:

Stuff We're Into
There have been many negative aspects to the current world economic crisis, some expected and some not. But perhaps there's one bright spot – you can get a sweet deal
right now
on a gently used corporate jet. JamesList is sort of the eBay of exclusive luxury goods. While you may not be seeing the Door Number 3 Powerboat anytime soon, it's still nice to dream.
Twitter this, Twitter that. By now, everyone has an opinion on the much-loved or much-blighted social service. We even chipped in a few thoughts on our
. Twitscoop is one of the better 3rd-party sites dedicated to Twitter. It's basically a pulse, showing the viewer in real time what the hottest topics on Twitter are. Try checking it out during a major event, like a presidential inauguration or a Super Bowl.
This site took one good, simple idea and built a successful blog around it. Sleeveface works because it's a perfect confluence of elements that make web 2.0 great – user-generated content, music history, photography and, yes, a good dosage of nerdiness.

Kuala Lumpur may not yet have a reputation like Ibiza and Rio de Janeiro, but we reckon its up and coming scene is one of the best for a great party here in Asia. Here, we have handpicked five of the best clubs in the city if you're keen on shimmying next to the locals and getting to know Kuala Lumpur a little bit better.
If you have only one night to party in KL, hit Zouk. One of the premier nightspots in the city, Zouk encompasses six dynamically different themed rooms (namely Aristo & Rooftop Garden, Barsonic, Main Room, Phuture, Terrace Bar and Velvet Underground), and with frequent appearances from international heavyweights such as Above & Beyond and DJ Tiesto, it's no wonder that Zouk is still a favourite among KL-lites even after nine years of existence. Tuesdays are 'Ghetto Heaven' nights featuring selections of only the best hip hop and R&B grooves, and Wednesdays are Mambo Jambo parties, taking you back to the 80s with hits from the era, so strut your best stuff and dance the night away! Read More...
Opening Hours: 21:00 – 03:00
Address: 113, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur
Tel: +6 03 2171 1997
Frangipani is an institution in Kuala Lumpur, featuring an immaculate fine-dining experience on the ground floor and a posh nightclub upstairs. Known as one of the earliest LGBT-friendly spots in the city, Frangipani is regarded as one of the places to go for a great night out if you're looking for somewhere upmarket to let your hair down. The recent renovation sees the bar area sporting a much classier look – heavy on mirrors and stainless steel pillars – giving the place a much-needed edge, so give Frangipani a go when you're in town. Read More...
Opening Hours: 19:30 – 22:30 dinner
Address: 25, Changkat Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
Tel: +6 03 2144 3001
Singapore's favourite partying spot has landed in KL, and it is set to be one of the places to be seen and heard in the city. Featuring an open format of music (meaning, they play just about anything and everything) and interactive clubbing experience by mashing mixes together with video feeds, The Butter Factory definitely offers a night to remember, even for the most discerning party goer. Unique themed nights such as Tuesday's 'GAJA', playing latest K-pop hits, and EDM-frenzy 'Butterfly' on Saturdays promises nothing but fun, just make sure to keep an open mind and enjoy the music!
Opening Hours: 22:00 – 03:00
Address: 1, Jalan Kia Peng, Kuala Lumpur
Tel: +6 03 2141 9998
Taking over the spot once held by the short-lived Dragonfly Club, Club Neverland is one of the newest kids on the partying block, but of course it's all the more eager to add its bit to the exciting KL nightlife scene. Sporting a sleek neon-lit entrance and impressive 3-D Projection Mapping show for all of its performances, Club Neverland has seen big names such as Steve Aoki gracing its stage, and keeps the excitement going with regular promotions on bottles and events. We recommend its popular 5riday Party nights – it promises a wild night out, with resident performances and special live stage shows up till late.
Opening Hours: 21:00 – 03:00
Address: 1, Jalan Kia Peng, Kuala Lumpur
Tel: +6 012 621 8311
For a taste of East Asian music, head on down to @Live (pronounced 'Alive' or 'At Live') at Federal Arcade, behind The Federal Hotel in Jalan Bukit Bintang. Dubbing themselves as a 'live music club', @Live features regular spins by its DJs, and live performances from its resident singers and dancers. Music is predominantly Cantopop or Korean pop, and with interiors taking inspirations from the quintessentially-Japan izakayas, you'll feel like as if you've just been transported to the middle of Tokyo or Hong Kong, with, of course, a drink in your hand.
Opening Hours: 17:00 – 03:00

EAGLE RIVER, WI (WTAQ) - The new snow was hardly on the ground when the phones started ringing off the hook at Chamber of Commerce offices in northern Wisconsin.
It seems that lots of snowmobilers want to know about the conditions "up north" – where 4 to 10 inches of snow fell on Wednesday.
It was music to the ears of Northwoods businesses which have had a poor tourism season due to a lack of snow. But now, the National Weather Service says most of Vilas County has 10 to 16 inches of snow on the ground. And other parts of the north have 7 to 15 inches.
Eagle River Chamber director Connie Heeg said 11 snowmobiles whizzed by his office while he was on the phone – and he saw more machines riding around Thursday than any other day this winter.
Kim Baltus of the Minocqua Area Chamber said it should make for a good weekend for the riders.
Central Wisconsin also expects an influx of snowmobilers. Marathon County trails re-open at noon Friday, and Wood County's trails will open Saturday morning.
Most places in central Wisconsin, the Fox Valley, and Door County have 6 to 14 inch snow covers. And forecasters say another coating of light snow is likely Saturday and possible on Sunday and Monday nights.

How can America wean itself from fossil fuels when fossil fuels are so cheap?
America is supposedly the leader of the free world. What was the primary message during the presidential campaign? Energy independence, not the environment. We will continue to sacrifice our legacy, our natural resources that might better be left to subsequent generations rather than accept higher energy costs now that renewables, until now, can't supply economically (at least not without a carbon tax).
As long as our politicians can make campaign promises based on the cost of a gallon of gas, don't expect any negative news about the environment to make headlines.
While President Obama extols the virtue of clean natural gas, I live in rural Schoharie County which is ripe for fracking for natural gas. Never mind that it is a bucolic, pastoral part of nature. It has vast reservers of natural gas so, following President Obama's desire, it will soon be an industrial park and all the tourists who used to come here for our natural beauty will go elsewhere.
When you look at the cost of natural gas in America, it is about the fifth the cost of natural gas in Europe. Guess what? America is going to become the World's leader in natural gas exports. The "good" news is that natural gas has only half the carbon foot print of coal (we have billions of tons of coal to export to Asia---and there has been a massive ad blitz promoting "clean" coal).
Unless there is someone like a Randall Mills who can make low-energy nuclear reactions economic, fossil fuels are our albatross.

Nov 20 2012: There isn't cheap oil, it is paid for with massive subsidies to oil companies, which then don't pay any royalties on the oil they pump out of the ground. Between the two of those, they are sucking us dry. That doesn't even include the costs of the rebuilding of infrastructure that they buy pipe from their own subsidiaries at huge markups.
The answer to the question, is to go back to steam.
Rossi and Defkalion are both doing LENR work, but don't know what they are doing.
Brillouin Energy does.
They are using a nickle tech too, but they understand how it works. They filed patents , that were then dissallowed by the US Patent Office, as they felt they related to the old Utah University cold fusion fiasco.
The tech is simple, and no more dangerous than your current water heater, but it runs on a wall warts worth of energy, and the only trick required , is to figure out a low pressure generator, or to commercialize the benzene strip work put together by U of Az folks. They have found that a single, straightend chain of benzene, actually creates a true thermoelectric conversion, albeit at a small voltage. Benzene is a small molecule however, and they are expecting it to be a paint on solution. This will be able to convert ALL waste heat directly to DC. Vehicles engines, electronic waste heat, rooftop , whatever.
The use of household Brillouin boilers will free up all existing generation facilities to keep powering industry, while we convert the rest of society over.
Vehicles can be either steam, or electric, with these units. And when parked, they can become part of the grid storage system.
Every energy expert hates the idea of using vehicles as part of the grid storage, as they point out that the conversion from DC to AC, thru existing inverters, is not just uneconomical, it generates even more waste heat.
The solution here is to create a new grid, one engineered on DC, and constructed with graphene conductors.
Nov 20 2012: I've been following the cold fusion research for decades. Rossi is a kind of shady character and skeptics argue that none of his claims of excess energy have been done under rigorous, independent studies. He promises much but delivers less. I'll check out Brillouin a player that I'm not familiar with.
For over a decade the patent office has screwed over cold fusion scientists. The hot fusion crowd got one of their own in the patent office who disallowed patents for over a decade because it was allegedly physically impossible; meanwhile scientists were getting patents in France, Italy, South Korea, Japan, etc.
Randall Mills is another case. His research has been ongoing for about 20 years and his claim of creating "hydrinos" a type of hydrogen below the ground state has received much attention. What is somewhat suspicious is that he quotes scientists that worked at prestigious universities to bolster his claims only to find out that they left had those universities decades earlier. He also claims to have lined up four utilities who allegedly are going to install 8000mW of capacity, but I have seen no follow up to these claims which appear on his website.
Low-energy nuclear reactions have been demonstrated countless times but the pathway to commercialization seems a long way off. Most of the results are in the milliwatt to watt range i.e. not even adequate to run a household much less anything more.

Dinesha D'Souza (2016 Movie; "What's So Great About Christianity"; "The Enemy at Home") just resigned as president of The King's College after WORLD magazine reported his indiscretions regarding a woman who is not his wife. You can read the details in the articles below.
I'm shocked and saddened that this great mind succumbed to the very rationalizations that have brought down so many. He writes on his blog, "I had no idea that it is considered wrong in Christian circles to be
engaged prior to being divorced, even though in a state of separation
and in divorce proceedings." Seriously?
I also grieve for his family. As a friend and colleague who's experienced this sort of thing in his own family wrote in an e-mail, "Making a public case of indignation doesn't affect the
hardened sinner as much as it does the heartbroken victims." I'm sure he's right. Though I think WORLD had an obligation to publish the story, I'm sure that doesn't soften the blow for D'Souza's wife and his daughter. Pray for them.
As might be expected, D'Souza is shooting the messenger, accusing WORLD magazine editor Marvin Olasky of carrying out a vendetta against him. He called the WORLD story "viciousness masquerading as righteousness" and an act "truly worthy of Christian condemnation." As far as I can tell, WORLD magazine reported fairly and accurately. The one item in question is whether D'Souza actually shared a room with this other woman. I wish WORLD had asked D'Souza directly about this matter. But, it reportedly accurately what two reliable sources said and cited them accordingly.
From my experience, guilty people and institutions shoot the messenger. It's happened to me numerous times in my career. And personally, I'm incredibly grateful for WORLD magazine. It plays a vital watchdog role in the evangelical world. If it weren't for WORLD, the National Assoc. of Evangelicals would probably still be taking money from the National Campaign for Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy; no one would know that Sojourners took money from George Soros; and D'Souza would still be president of King's.
No one likes to air dirty laundry -- and no believer delights in reading it. But, someone has to be willing to act as a prophet and expose sin. In the end, it purifies the church.

Rebecca Wolkenstein is one particularly efficient multi-tasker. You might remember I profiled Rebecca's creative agency here a while ago… and then of course there's her ingenious creative house-swapping website Caravan, which has grown in leaps and bounds since it launched only a few short month ago! (Caravan also generously sponsors The Design Files – please share the love and pop over to check out all the incredible homes that have been listed in the last couple of months!)
ANYWAY Ms Wolkenstein's latest stellar side-project, in collaboration with likeminded Southern Highlands-based creatives Sarah King and Sara Silm, is SoHi magazine. It's a beautiful, visually rich, yet supremely understated quarterly publication which documents the creative people, places and seasonal happenings in NSW's Southern Highlands, where Wolkenstein lives with her husband and 2 kids. Fashion, architecture, food, craft and the seasonal garden will be beautifully captured and covered in each issue.
All SoHi's editorial decisions come back to three core values – inclusive, SLOW and community. Of course, there is also always a link to the Highlands region. The project is funded by advertisers, however the editors are very selective, mainly relying on relevant tourism and retail advertisers – such as Plane Tree Farm and Bemboka Blankets. Rebecca and co. made a decision early on that they would not take advertisers in real estate, motoring or anything environmentally unfriendly – and they give 10% discounts to anyone with mindful business practices! …. in other words – no loud, ugly classified or endless real estate pages! This uncompromising commitment makes for a truly inspiring, beautifully edited read.
There's been such a buzz about the SoHi launch issue… I keep reading lovely 'tweets'(?) about it on Twitter… and after receiving my copy last week I can absolutely see why!
The magazine is printed in a limited edition of 2000, however all content from the mag can also be read online at sohimagazine.com.au. Don't miss it!

North American Juniors Game Night: 3-23-12Submitted by chad on March 24, 2012 - 01:30
Omaha Lancers 1 @ Tri-City Storm 5
G Adam Wilcox, TC: Win, 28 saves on 29 shots, *First Star*
Season Totals (with Tri-City): 29 GP, 15-14-1, 2.89 GAA, .916 sv%, 1 SO
Season Totals (with Green Bay): 9 GP, 7-2-0, 2.27 GAA, .918 sv%, 2 SO
Wilcox (pictured), the reigning USHL Goaltender of the Week, got another start for the Storm and got another first star award. Unofficially that's about seven first stars in the last month. He's given up only three goals in his last three games while stopping 100 shots. That's pretty good. On Friday Wilcox stopped 28 of 29 against conference-leading Omaha. Tri-City stayed in fifth in the West with the two points, but put four points between them and seventh place Des Moines for the final playoff spot. The top-6 teams make the postseason in each conference.
16-Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 4 @ 1-Saint John Sea Dogs 13
QMJHL First Round – Saint John leads best of seven series 1-0
C Danick Gauthier, SNB: 2-2-4, +2, 0 PIM, 6 SOG, 2 Hits, *Second Star*
Playoff Totals: 1 GP, 2-2-4, +2, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 67 GP, 47-39-86, +46, 67 PIM
Saint John opened defense of their Memorial Cup title with a 13-4 thrashing of Cape Breton. The Sea Dogs outshot the Screaming Eagles 50-19 in the game. Cape Breton actually held a 2-1 lead midway through the first period before Saint John turned up the heat. Gauthier had four points in the game, which tied his playoff high set last year in 18 games. Impressive. Sharks first rounder (traded to Wild) and former Boston University star Charlie Coyle had a hat trick and three assists for the Sea Dogs. Also impressive. Game 2 is Saturday night.
14-Gatineau Olympiques 1 @ 3-Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 5
QMJHL First Round – Blainville-Boisbriand leads best of seven series 2-0
D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-0-0, -2, 4 PIM (roughing after the whistle, roughing), 0 SOG, 0 Hits

Season Totals: 51 GP, 6-26-32, -13, 55 PIM
The Armada took a commanding 2-0 series lead on Gatineau with a 5-1 win on Friday. They beat the Olympiques 7-2 in the series opener on Thursday. Janosik was scoreless and minus-4 in that game for the 14th seed.
13-Baie-Comeau Drakkar 4 @ 4-Victoriaville Tigres 3
QMJHL First Round – Baie-Comeau leads best of seven series 1-0
D Daniel Milan, VIC: 0-0-0 -1, 0 PIM, 1 SOG, 1 Hit

W8-Windsor Spitfires 0 @ W1-London Knights 3
OHL First Round – London leads best of seven series 1-0
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 1-1-2, +1, 0 PIM, *First Star*
Playoff Totals: 1 GP, 1-1-2, +1, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 63 GP, 22-49-71, +15, 50 PIM
Namestnikov scored what turned out to be the game winning goal in the first period off a great individual effort. He added a third period power play assist to help Michael Houser (undrafted) and the East's top seed shut out Windsor in Game 1 of their opening round series, 3-0. Game 2 is Saturday. Namestnikov had five points in six playoff games last season.
E1-Niagara IceDogs 6 @ E8-Oshawa Generals 1
OHL First Round – Niagara leads best of seven series 2-0
D Geoffrey Schemitsch, OSH: 0-0-0 E, 0 PIM
Playoff Totals: 2 GP, 0-0-0, -2, 2 PIM
Season Totals (OS, OSH): 48 GP, 2-17-19, +8, 24 PIM

North American Juniors Game Night: 3-17-12Submitted by chad on March 17, 2012 - 22:03
Fargo Force 1 @ Tri-City Storm 2
G Adam Wilcox, TC: Win, 36 saves on 37 shots, *First Star*
Season Totals (with Tri-City): 28 GP, 14-14-1, 2.96 GAA, .915 sv%, 1 SO
Season Totals (with Green Bay): 9 GP, 7-2-0, 2.27 GAA, .918 sv%, 2 SO
Wilcox put up the same stat line for the second night in a row: one goal allowed, 36 saves, and yet another first star award. Unofficially that's six in the last month. With a loss by Des Moines, Tri-City moved into the final playoff spot in the West, two points ahead of the Bucs, who have two games in hand. Eight games remain for the Storm, who are just one point behind Sioux City for fifth. Fargo sits above Sioux City.
Saint John Sea Dogs 7 @ Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 2
C Danick Gauthier, SNB: 2-0-2, +1, 2 PIM (slashing), 5 SOG, 1 Hit, *First Star*
Season Totals: 67 GP, 47-39-86, +46, 67 PIM
In his last game of the season, newly-signed Lightning prospect Danick Gauthier didn't perform a miracle and catch Zach O'Brien for the league's goal scoring title, but with two goals he set a new franchise record for Saint John with 47 goals in one season. His 46th goal set a new family record – his father, Daniel, had 46 goals for Victoriaville in 89-90. Gauthier crushed his previous personal highs (11-19-30, +21) in every major category. Saint John, which finished 50-15-0-3, will begin their run to defend the Memorial Cup starting on Friday.
Gatineau Olympiques 3 @ Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 6
D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-1-1, E, 2 PIM (roughing), 0 SOG, 5 Hits
Season Totals: 51 GP, 6-26-32, -13, 55 PIM
Gatineau lost to the Huskies for the second night in a row to end their regular season. With his assist, Janosik tied his career high for points in a season and broke his personal high for assists, which he set last year. He played in nine more games last year. The Olympiques will finish in 14th in the league, but make the playoffs.
London Knights 3 @ Erie Otters 0
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 63 GP, 22-49-71, +15, 50 PIM
London got a win over last place Erie in the Knights' last game of the regular season, and combined with Plymouth's loss to Sarnia, clinched the conference's top seed heading into the playoffs. Namestnikov finished without a point for the 10th time in his last 14 games. He set new career highs this season for points, assists, plus/minus, and penalty minutes. He was eight off his 30-goal high, which he set last year in 68 games.
Mississauga St. Michael's Majors 3 @ Oshawa Generals 0
D Geoffrey Schemitsch, OSH: 0-0-0 E, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 48 GP, 2-17-19, +8, 24 PIM
With Oshawa: 21 GP, 2-6-8, +5, 4 PIM
With Owen Sound: 27 GP, 0-11-11, +3, 20 PIM
Oshawa will conclude their regular season on Sunday. They can catch Belleville in points for seventh, but Belleville has more wins.
North American Juniors Game Night: 3-16-12Submitted by chad on March 17, 2012 - 01:16
Fargo Force 1 @ Tri-City Storm 5
G Adam Wilcox, TC: Win, 36 saves on 37 shots, *First Star*
Season Totals (with Tri-City): 27 GP, 13-14-1, 3.04 GAA, .912 sv%, 1 SO
Season Totals (with Green Bay): 9 GP, 7-2-0, 2.27 GAA, .918 sv%, 2 SO
Wilcox (pictured) and Tri-City got a must-needed win on Friday, topping the Force, 5-1. Wilcox was named first star for about the fifth time in the last month. He's put the team on the back as they continue to make a push for the playoffs. With the win on Friday the Storm are tied with Des Moines for the last playoff spot in the West, but the Bucs have two games in hand. Tri-City has nine games left in the regular season.
Saint John Sea Dogs 4 @ Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 0
C Danick Gauthier, SNB: 0-1-1, +1, 2 PIM (tripping), 7 SOG, 0 Hits
Season Totals: 65 GP, 45-39-84, +45, 65 PIM
With one game left to play in the regular season, Saint John has already wrapped up the league's top seed. Gauthier remains five goals back of league-leader Zach O'Brien (Acadie-Bathurst).
Gatineau Olympiques 2 @ Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 5
D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-0-0, -1, 4 PIM (roughing, roughing), 0 SOG, 0 Hits
Season Totals: 50 GP, 6-25-31, -13, 53 PIM
Janosik was back from his native Slovakia, where he was taking some exams, but he didn't register a point in a loss to the Huskies. With one game to go in the regular season, Janosik is one point off his career high of 32 points, set last year in 10 more games. Gatineau can finish no lower than 14th among the 16 playoff teams. There are no conferences in the Q.
Shawinigan Cataractes 5 @ Victoriaville Tigres 7
D Daniel Milan, VIC: 0-0-0 E, 0 PIM, 1 SOG, 1 Hit
Season Totals: 61 GP, 2-9-11, -16, 69 PIM
With Victoriaville: 28 GP, 2-4-6, -3, 38 PIM
With Moncton: 33 GP, 0-5-5, -13, 31 PIM
5'8†Yanni Gourde (undrafted) had a goal and four assists to increase his league-leading point total to 122. No one else is even close to him. With 11 points this season, Milan won't come close to touching the 38 points he put up last year as a rookie with Moncton. He is already signed to an NHL contract with the Lightning. The Tigres are currently one point up on Quebec for the fourth seed in the league with one game remaining.
Sarnia Sting 2 @ London Knights 3
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-1-1, -1, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 62 GP, 22-49-71, +15, 50 PIM
Twice London overcame one-goal deficits to tie and eventually beat Sarnia at home. With one game left, London and Plymouth are tied on top of the Western Conference with 97 points. London leads in wins by one. The Whalers have gone 10-0 in their last 10 games while the Knights have gone 5-5.
In a poll of OHL coaches, Namestnikov finished third in the Best Playmaker and Best Skater categories in the conference. Lightning camper Seth Griffith, who will re-enter the draft and could be a target of the Lightning with a second or third round pick, finished in the following categories: Most Improved (1), Most Dangerous in the Goal Area (2), Best Shootout Shooter (2).

Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center develops revolutionary nanotechnology copper solder
Scientists in the Advanced Materials and Nanosystems directorate at the Lockheed Martin Space Systems Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Palo Alto have developed a revolutionary nanotechnology copper-based electrical interconnect material, or solder, that can be processed around 200 °C.
Once fully optimized, the CuantumFuse™ solder material is expected to produce joints with up to 10 times the electrical and thermal conductivity compared to tin-based materials currently in use. Applications in military and commercial systems are currently under consideration.

Montville - State police detectives are investigating whether the man charged with snatching cash from a register at a North Stonington convenience store late Monday is the same one who tried to rob a Montville store earlier in the evening.
Jayson Tuggle, 33, was arrested Monday night in Groton following reports of a man who stole cash from the register at the Xtramart on Norwich-Westerly Road in North Stonington. With the assistance of Groton Town Police, state police said, they found Tuggle in Groton, where he initially tried to hide himself while armed with a knife at a friend's residence.
Tuggle was charged with sixth-degree larceny, interfering with an officer and breach of peace in connection with the 10:16 p.m. theft in North Stonington.
The arrest came even as detectives with the state police major crime squad where investigating an attempted robbery that occurred at 7:06 p.m. Monday at the Henny Penny gas station on Route 32 in Montville.
In the Montville incident, police said a white male in his early 30s entered the store and tried to grab cash from the register. During the incident, police said, one of the store clerks tried to detain the suspect and was involved in a brief struggle.
The suspect left the store and tried unsuccessfully to enter two nearby vehicles, including a truck parked at a gas pump. The keys were not in the truck and the suspect fled on foot. There were no reported injuries.
Tuggle, who police said is homeless, was held overnight at Troop E in Montville and was expected to appear today in New London Superior Court.
Tuggle was already due to appear in court to answer to a felony narcotics possession charge stemming from a March 5 arrest in Stonington, records show.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Governor Snyder signed 30 more bills into law yesterday, among them was Erin's Law. It will allow schools to implement a curriculum to teach students about child abuse, and to train staff how to recognize the warning signs and how to provide counseling.
It's named in honor of Sex Abuse Survivor Erin Merryn who has lobbied for such legislation in several states.
Governor Snyder also signed a bill that creates the Swift and Sure Sanctions program.It authorizes periodic drug and alcohol screens for parolees and probationers, keeping a closer watch on them.
It's already been enacted in some other states where they boast a 50% savings in costs and fewer crimes.
It focuses on those probationers who are most at risk of repeat offending.

- Fantastic Food/ExperienceCBfoodieDined on 9/20/2014We dined at Violino's for my fiance's birthday on the 20th of September. Our server was fantastic, and the food was delicious. We split the crab cakes and starter caesar salad for an appetizer, both phenomenal. He had the bacon wrapped filet for his entre which he said was the best steak he ever had. I had the penne papperdelle which was so fresh and full of flavor. For dessert, they brought out the tiramisu cake on the house for my fiance's birthday, to die for! Overall great experience and we will definitely return.Special Features:
- Deserving of moreTwinTurboDined on 9/18/2014Violino is a great spot. I love the level of comfort and sophistication in this dining room. Richly upholstered hairs and real linens for lunch is a treat. The lunch specials are uniformly delicious and the server, James, was attentive, pleasant and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious - even decadent - to the point that I could have skipped dinner. This is one of the best value restaurants in the city, particularly when one considers the setting and generosity of the place.Special Features:
- Superb Food & Wine herefoodiesinedmontonDined on 9/17/2014Our food & wine, service & atmosphere were all beyond our expectations. Absolutely nothing compares to violino in this town. Dont forget to try there chefs specials and tiramisu ! Highly recommended !!Special Features:
- Needs improvementOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/17/2014The service was slow and a tad too casual. Waiters needed grooming. Food was fine but way overpriced for what it was, particularly the seafood starter. I had a $20 discount coupon which when I initially presented it appeared to be valid but when the bill came, it was not. This place needs a real professional uplift if they intend on marketing it as an upscale Italian restaurant.

- great service at restaurantkyewDined on 9/11/2014We had a pleasant evening here. I would definitely go back for the calamari. It was delicious. Probably one of the tastiest I have ever had. Our waiter raved about the short ribs, so I ordered them. They were very tough and "not fall off the bone tender". I had difficulty cutting them. However, there were a lot of things on the menu that I would go back and try. Their dip for bread was amazing. Ambience was very nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great find!GpilotDined on 9/9/2014I dont often write reviews but this restaurant deserves it. The service was fabulous. Attentive but not overbearing, humorous and accommodating. Food was fabulous and reasonably priced for offerings. As someone who is sensitive to loud restaurants, this was a perfect mix of background noise and music. Highly recommended for those looking for something higher scale for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Violino Always impressesfoodiesinedmontonDined on 9/4/2014I just wished to pass on the comment from our son, after eating at Violino Gastronomia: He said: "That is the best meal in a restaurant that I have ever had", and Thanked us for taking him to experience such a lovely dinner there.

- Nice Italian mealTravelDinerDined on 8/29/2014This was my second visit to Violino- the first 2 years ago. The food was still very good with generous portions. The noise level seemed quite high and unfortunately I was seated beside the door to the outdoor patio and was hit frequently by severs and patrons and was very cool as the door was often left open. The only downside to a lovely evening.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014I had not been to the restaurant in a long time and never for lunch.

- AnniversaryCoupleDined on 8/13/2014Had the occassion to celebrate 26th wedding anniversary with my wife & adult children... the food was impeccable and ambiance of the patio spectacular. Our server was James, and from start to finish, he was extremely competent, frliendly and welcoming. After dining (I will say my "short rib" diinner was fantastic) we did not order dessert, however James saw to the delivery of a delicious tiramasu platter decorated with the message "Happy Anniversary" & accompanied by ice-wine to finish. All combined, server to kitchen well deserving and so tipped at 20%. Thank you Violino for wonderful dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Edmonton's best in my opinion!CurrlyDined on 8/13/2014The ambiance - feels like you are in Europe or Mexico. It's a mini vacation for me!

- Excellent Food enjoyed !!!foodiesinedmontonDined on 8/11/2014They have a lot of choice in menu. We started with sea scallops topped with a pomegranate absolutely delicious. Our second course was Fettuccine there signature dish with flambe on table side, great flavour & great presentation. Upon the waiter advice we chose another appetizer, meatballs in a tomatoe sauce as an accompaniment rather than ordering a Secondi.Food was perfect for the evening, Excellent choice.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/9/2014This was an utter disappointment, service was terrible (non-attentive and at the end of service just dropped off the debit machine and walked away), steak was well done when medium rare was ordered (this should not happen on a $40 entre), pasta sauce (red pepper with boar bacon) was so heavy and strong that it as almost inedible and there was no reason for the boars bacon as you could not even taste it due to the base sauce, as well barely blanched, raw chopped asparagus stalks was a very bad choice in this sauce. Will not go back
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014I found the food to be over price and average. Staff were pleasant and service was good.Special Features:

We were there as a bon voyage, my co-worker was moving on to bigger and better things. Needless to say we had a ton to talk about, the server was attentive but understanding, as it took us quite some time to actually look at the menu. He suggested a lovely Chianti and was the optime of professionalism throughout. If you enjoy a warm and friendly atmosphere, and the MOST AMAZING authentic Italian Cuisine....You absolutely must try Violino...an top tier favorite.Special Features:

Greeted at the entry, shown to a table and seating are all efficiently done with pleasant comments. The Server is exceptional, from the first time a table side, throughout the meal and final delivery of the check, his concern is for the enjoyment and satisfaction of the Diner. The meals were literally a feast for both eyes and stomach, the flvours truly well blended to compliment one another beginning with the small loaf of bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, wine, progressing with Caprese Salad, our main courses and culminating with dessert and coffee. Withiut hesitation, I recommend Violino as a fantastic place to dine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Violino's 125th Street, EdmontonSimplymarvalousDined on 8/2/2014I took my friend to Violini's for her Birthday luncheon on the veranda. They had a nice variety of dishes for lunch including gourmet pizza which is baked in an outdoor oven located on the veranda. We both enjoyed the Caesar salad and pizza. The service was upscale from start to finish. We were both too full to attempt dessert but the list of choices sounded very exquisite.

- The best patio in Edmontonluv2dineDined on 7/26/2014The best patio in Edmonton for sure. The food is phenomenal,we had Summer seafood Platter it was huge and the best. I can't figure out why this patio isn't packed to overflowing on a hot day. Only four tables set up (which were full) on the day we were there. This truly is an exceptional experience, especially in Edmonton, where "patio" usually means a table where you bake in the sun and strain to hear over the traffic noise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dining experienceThomasDined on 7/26/2014What a wonderful evening of dining with friends! The food was great - I had the lamb which was very tasty.

- A great dinner!look4goodfoodDined on 7/12/2014This is a pretty restaurant, in an old house located off the main street, with its own parking lot and a large area for patio dining in the summer. We ate inside, which had a really nice ambience, as the area was broken up a bit by the different rooms. It was quiet and elegant, perfect for a couple hours of good conversation over a truly delicious dinner. Our server suggested the special, a halibut topped with lump crabmeat and a touch of watermelon cream sauce. It was excellent. We also chose the rack of lamb, which was perfectly cooked, well seasoned and very tender. Great wine and a yummy (ricotta) cheesecake for dessert. We were not rushed; this was a perfect dining experience, start to finish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We had a 5 course meal and the food was soooo delicious we were impressed. The wine list was half off that night so I think we ended up drinking more than eating but either way the wine was also to die for. They have an amazing wine list.

Wessels was injured and transported to Deaconess Hospital.
Investigators believe drugs or alchol may have been involved.
The driver of the other vehicle was not injured.

You can eat spinach raw or cooked, add it to nearly any recipe and even replace other leafy greens with this robust raw veggie to boost your salads into the stratosphere!
Spinach has been nourishing Americans for hundreds of years. In 1928, after a New Yorker cartoon depicted a child refusing to eat spinach, the leafy green veggie temporarily got a bum rap. However, less than a year later, a certain cartoon sailor began appearing in comics, dramatically boosting sales of spinach (but, curiously, not of olive oil). Today, this delicious veggie is available in stores fresh, canned or frozen.
Spinach comes in three main varieties. The most common type is called Flat Leaf spinach: It has smooth, teardrop-shaped leaves, and can be found canned, frozen, blended into baby food or sold raw in your supermarket's fresh produce section. Two less common varieties, the Savoy and Semi-Savoy, have a stronger taste and more wrinkled leaves.
Generally, you can buy spinach whenever you crave it. Most U.S. spinach is grown in California and Texas during the cooler months.
Fresh spinach is sold loose or in sealed plastic bags. Either way, be sure to pick leaves that are a rich, dark green, with a fresh smell and crisp feel. Skip over leaves that are wilted, slimy, bruised or spotted.
Spinach belongs in your fridge's crisper drawer. If it's loose, wrap the bundle in a bit of cellophane. Most fresh spinach lasts for about a week. Frozen or canned spinach, on the other hand, will probably still be good months after you bought it.
Fresh spinach is so easy to prepare that you almost can't go wrong. Loose leaves just need to be washed, since the plant grows in soft, sandy soil. (Bagged, pre-washed spinach may be ready to eat as-is.) Place the leaves in a large mixing bowl filled with cold water, and shake them vigorously. Let any sediment sink to the bottom, remove the leaves, replace the water and repeat. Remember to pat the spinach dry before adding it to a fresh salad.
Most spinach is measured in bunches, cans, whole bags or plastic boxes (pre-packaged) or cups (chopped).
Since spinach is a mild, crisp, leafy green, it can be swapped out for any other veggie even vaguely matching that description. To preserve something of the taste, try to substitute dark green, fibrous, leafy greens, like kale, chard, Romaine lettuce or even mustard greens or arugula for a spicier flavor.
Start simple. Using nothing more than fresh spinach, jicama and strawberries, you can toss together a Jicama-Spinach Salad drizzled with lime juice, honey and vegetable oil.
Here's an old chestnut: a Spinach-Artichoke Dip accented with Parmesan cheese and garlic. Serve it with fresh veggies to make an irresistible crudité platter.
And how's this for easy? Toss one chopped apple, 12 ounces of Yoplait® peach yogurt and two cups of fresh spinach in a blender. Mix for two minutes. And voilà! You've got a cool, bright-green Spinach-Apple-Peach Smoothie that's ready to serve

Changes in Medicaid reimbursement in Arizona have led to adverse consequences for patients with diabetes, according to an abstract recently presented at the American Diabetes Association annual meeting.
In 2010, Arizona began cancelling Medicaid reimbursement coverage of podiatry visits to reduce healthcare costs. The abstract authors examined inpatient discharge records from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project from 2006 to 2010, observing 3,845 inpatients with diabetic foot infections (DFIs). After the Medicaid reimbursement change, researchers discovered there were 56.3 percent more hospital admissions, lengths of stay were 42.1 percent longer, state inpatient charges were 52.1 percent higher, and there were 86.1 percent more severe aggregate outcomes.
The abstract authors concluded that the changes to the Medicaid program spurred a "marked worsening of patient care." They added that "Restricting access to preventive care among people with diabetes may manifest in serious unintended consequences, particularly among the poor and underserved."
Bruce Werber, DPM, notes that the long-term consequences of the change in reimbursement include an increase in emergency room visits, increase in hospitalizations, higher cost of wound care centers and more amputations with all of their associated costs. "The ultimate outcome is increased cost to the system and increased morbidity for the patients," says Dr. Werber, who is in private practice in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Dr. Werber supports educating podiatrists in the Medicaid system so they can practice to the full scope of their license and their training. Calling broad cuts to podiatry "a mistake," he suggests that instead, there could have been cuts in the scope of services such as non-emergent services for patients at minimal risk. He explains this would have cut services for conditions like bunion repair, hammertoe repair, heel pain, chronic nail issues and sports type injuries, but allowed treatment for patients with infections, wounds, fractures, diabetic renal disease or peripheral arterial disease. Dr. Werber says such cuts ultimately would have saved the system money.
"It is great that the appeals court in California found that Medicaid should include dentistry and podiatry, but ultimately our profession needs to be recognized as physicians and the need for our services is essential to the well being of all Americans," says Dr. Werber, a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.

A recent study in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery reveals that nearly half of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy who had a partial first ray amputation progressed to a subsequent, more proximal amputation.
The authors performed an 11-year retrospective review of 59 patients with a mean follow-up of 33.8 months. Despite the fact that all patients experienced initial amputation incision healing, 69 percent subsequently developed a mean of 3.1 foot ulcerations and 25 patients required a more proximal repeat amputation at a mean of 25 months after the initial partial first ray amputation.
The authors suggest that in this high-risk patient population, an initial proximal level amputation, such as a balanced transmetatarsal amputation, might provide a better functional and reliable residual weightbearing foot than a first ray amputation in this high-risk patient population.
A transmetatarsal amputation provides a contoured, balanced, residual forefoot — without the presence of peak pressure formation — that can routinely fit in a standard shoe with limited need for in-shoe orthosis use, according to study co-author Thomas S. Roukis, DPM, PhD, FACFAS. Furthermore, he says that amputating the toes also removes the digits as a potential source of ulceration, noting this is a common development following an isolated partial first ray amputation.
"As long as the foot is balanced to resolve any soft tissue ankle equinus or varus/valgus residual forefoot frontal plane deformities, the disadvantages are limited," says Dr. Roukis of transmetatarsal amputations. "Excellent soft tissue handling, proper contouring of the residual metatarsal parabola and electrocautery of the residual metatarsals will limit wound healing problems, mechanical, pressure-induced wounding and ectopic bone growth respectively."
Dr. Roukis, the President-Elect of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, has not had a patient refuse an initial transmetatarsal, Chopart or Lisfranc amputation instead of a partial first ray amputation. Patients have told him the cost of care is markedly lower following the successful healing of their transmetatarsal amputation in comparison with partial first ray amputation due to fewer office visits, debridements and in-shoe orthosis modifications.
"Most patients have been through endless rounds of wound care and the ulceration and associated care have disrupted their life to such an extent that they simply desire a foot that they can use again without the development of an ulcer every time they are active," says Dr. Roukis, who is affiliated with the Department of Orthopedics, Podiatry and Sports Medicine at Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, Wis.

A recent study in Diabetes Care concludes that physicians need to reevaluate the usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
The retrospective analysis of data looked at 6,259 patients with diabetes, adequate lower limb arterial perfusion and foot ulcers extending through the dermis. Researchers found that HBOT neither improved the likelihood that a wound might heal nor decreased the likelihood of amputation in patients with DFUs. Researchers also reported that in the propensity score-adjusted models, patients who received HBOT were more likely to undergo amputation and less likely to have healing of their foot wound.
Caroline Fife, MD, argues against the validity of the findings in this study. She points out that the study did not report the selection criteria for HBOT, making it unclear whether researchers properly analyzed the therapy.
"The (study's) retrospective analysis of practice in a single wound care organization does not indicate the effectiveness of HBOT when appropriate clinical practice guidelines are followed," notes Dr. Fife, who is in private practice in The Woodlands, Texas.
Although prospective studies have shown that HBOT may increase the likelihood of minor amputations in exchange for decreasing major amputations, Dr. Fife says the Diabetes Care study was unclear about the degree of amputation.
"The study did not distinguish between minor and major amputations when evaluating outcomes," notes Dr. Fife, the Chief Medical Officer at Intellicure, Inc.
Dr. Fife cites an abundance of randomized, controlled trial data that supports the efficacy of HBOT. She also notes that a recent meta-analysis concluded that HBOT improved healing and reduced the risk of major amputation in patients with DFUs. Dr. Fife adds that when it comes to advanced modalities for diabetic foot ulcers, HBOT "stands alone in having RCT evidence of efficacy in Wagner 3/4 grade ulcers and hypoxic wounds."
Dr. Fife says HBOT is indicated for patients with DFUs who fail to respond to four weeks of "adequate wound care defined as vascular screening and/or revascularization, treatment of infection, control of diabetes and aggressive offloading." While the Diabetes Care study has not changed her view of HBOT, Dr. Fife says the study does encourage clinicians to reassess proper patient selection for HBOT.
Small Bone Innovations, Inc. has announced that U.S. surgeons have implanted more than 5,000 STAR Total Ankle Replacement Systems since the device received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in May 2009. Small Bone Innovations says the STAR system is the only total ankle replacement system with published, long-term clinical results with 91 percent survivorship at an average follow-up of 9.1 years.
