Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Which Of These Smaller Companies Could Roche Buy?
By Leo Sun - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, CLDX, IMUC, IMMU, RHHBY
Over this past year, the oncology treatment industry has been a hotbed of acquisition rumors, which caused analysts and investors to endlessly speculate on which companies will be swallowed up next by the larger fish in the sea. In a previous article, I visited the eye of the storm: Onyx Pharmaceuticals, which put itself on sale after a failed $8.7 billion buyout attempt from Amgen. Amgen is reportedly still more »
This Orphan Drug Company Only Appears Expensive
By Kanak Kanti - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, ONXX, RHHBY
In the last couple of months, we saw two big offers being made - and rejected - in the biotech sector. Both times, the companies that rejected these offers saw huge spikes in their respective stocks. Alexion (NASDAQ: ALXN) rejected an informal takeover proposal from Roche (NASDAQOTH: RHHBY) and went up 7%. Earlier, Onyx (NASDAQ: ONXX) rejected Amgen's takeover bid and went up 50%.
Investors generally need not worry that these more »
This Company Is in a Perfect Position to Take-off
By usman iftikhar - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, ALNY, INO
In 2013, a number of new drugs got approvals from the FDA. This provided a boost to the biotech industry as a whole. Now, this speculative growth market is so sensitive that even positive results from clinical trials can take a company's stock to the moon. This is what happened with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALNY) last week.
What a week

Will This Orphan Drug Maker Find a New Home?
By Bob Chandler - August 5, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, ALNY, ONXX
Alexion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALXN), already quite expensive, spiked higher since takeover rumors surfaced in early July. But can a deal give the stock another boost? I'm doubtful. Even if there is a buyout, which is not a certainty, I think it's probable that the company won't command a much higher valuation than the current price. Saying that, there are also very good reasons I could be wrong more »
Do Recent Developments Signal a Buy for This Biotechnology Stock?
By Brian Nichols - August 2, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, QCOR
Questcor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: QCOR) reported earnings after the bell on Tuesday and traded significantly higher. The stock is now up more than 215% since its October 2012 low. Now, with the stock touching new all-time highs, it is in uncharted territory, but is it still cheap compared to its closest peer?

3 Biotech Favorites With Noteworthy Drug Data
By Sherrie Stone - July 29, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, BIIB, CELG
Three of the biggest names in biotechnology have reported earnings, and their quarters involved very important drug-related information for investors. In this article, let's look at which of these stocks might be presenting an investment opportunity.
Far Too Early For Decelerated Growth
Alexion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALXN) has traded higher by 22% over the last month, giving the company a market cap of $21 billion.

Extremely Expensive Drugs for Extremely Rare Diseases
By Leo Sun - July 26, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, NVS, PDLI, RHHBY
The biotech industry is known for fast paced acquisitions and rapid market consolidation. Larger pharmaceutical companies headed towards patent cliffs often scramble to acquire smaller companies to revive their drying pipelines. Meanwhile, startups frequently go public without any market approved drugs or sources of revenue. Sometimes, large fish get swallowed by even larger ones, and these acquisitions can secure important sources of constant revenue growth for years to come.

This Biotech May Well Buck the Trend
By Kanak Kanti - July 23, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, ALKS, BIIB
For quite some time now the biotech industry has been demonstrating a perceptible inclination towards discovery of drugs for ultra-orphan diseases. Understandably so because orphan drugs demand a high price in the market. In such a scene, Alkermes plc (NASDAQ: ALKS) has adopted a counter-cyclical strategy and chosen to target chronic diseases.
Alkermes focuses on unmet medical needs in specific patient segments. In simple language, the company is using its more »
A Company With a Lot of Positives
By usman iftikhar - July 23, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, CLDX, SGEN
This year has brought great prospects for biotech companies. Despite the fact that the biotech industry is a speculative growth segment, investors poured their money into this industry. I think this change in the public's investment decision is not due to some altered perception regarding stock purchases. They are still following the most basic guideline of investing: the greater the risk, the greater the return. The difference is that more »
Is This Biopharmaceutical Company Ahead Of Its Time?
By Sherrie Stone - July 18, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, RPTP, REGN
In most cases, a biopharmaceutical company chooses to develop either high-priced orphan-designated drugs, or therapeutics to treat large patient populations. Yet one company in particular, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN), is crossing the line as a dual-threat developer of both kinds of drugs. Here's why that might make it worthy of your investment.
The Difference In Therapeutic Approach

Is The Orphan Drug Buying Frenzy Over?
By Ben Williams - July 17, 2013 | Tickers: ACAD, AEGR, ALXN, ONXX, VRTX
Orphan drug stocks may have been the hottest and best performing sector of the market for the past year, but they have really been on fire for the past month and have frequently been the object of takeover rumors. The big question is, "Can this buying frenzy be sustained; or is the rally over, at least for the time being, now that orphan drug stocks appear to be leveling off more »
Close To New Highs, Should You Like This Biotech?
By Sherrie Stone - July 16, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, QCOR
Questcor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: QCOR) has a particularly fascinating history, having been at the center of controversy for the better part of its existence. For several years, investors have enjoyed large returns, and the company has marketed its only product, Acthar, with exceptional success. As it approaches new highs, should you take notice?

4 Reasons This Biotech Went up by 400 Percent
By Kanak Kanti - July 16, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, CLDX, RHHBY
Celldex (NASDAQ: CLDX), the first antibody-based immunotherapy company, has been a strong buy recommended by several analysts for some time now. Obviously analysts were bang on target as the stock has gone up more than 51% in a matter of five days and gained an astounding 400% in 52 weeks. The stock is currently trading at around $20 a pop, up from about $4 a year ago.What is moving more »
3 Takeover Targets to Watch
By Sam Mattera - July 16, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, BBRY, TWC
Any investors who were smart enough to buy shares of Leap Wireless on Friday will likely have doubled their money come Monday morning. Wireless giant AT&T has bid $15 per share for Leap -- a big premium over Friday's $7.98 closing price.
Trying to bet on the next big deal might not be the wisest investment strategy. Still, a company's potential as an attractive takeover candidate should more »
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals can be Your Pick
By usman iftikhar - July 16, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, ALNY, INO
In the last couple of weeks the market saw some great escalations and depressions regarding the share prices of many biotech companies. The whole biotech segment has been under the highlights since the beginning of this year. This is because a number of new drugs were approved by the FDA last year. The trend continued in the first quarter of 2013. The market right now is so sensitive that even more »
Is Big Pharma Crazy for Chasing This Deal?
By Sherrie Stone - July 15, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, RHHBY
According to a Bloomberg report, Roche (NASDAQOTH: RHHBY) is prepared to offer $130 a share to purchase Alexion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALXN). In other words, Roche is attempting to pay 20 times Alexion's annual sales, which would give Roche just one FDA-approved product. Is this company crazy?
What Is So Attractive?
Alexion's Soliris is FDA-approved for two indications: Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemogloinuria (PNH) and Atyptical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS). Both more »

What Makes a Good Orphan Drug Investment?

Orphan drug companies are an exciting new class in the healthcare sector -- with good and bad investment opportunities -- let's look at the differences.
What is an Orphan?
The word "Orphan' in biotechnology creates excitement! It means that a company has more years of exclusivity on a product and it also indicates that a company's technology is beyond the norm.

3 Healthcare Stocks to Keep an Eye On
By Chris Johnson - June 18, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, CLVS, SRPT
Editor's Note: This article has been modified to correct the spelling of Soliris.
The healthcare industry is slowly becoming what the pre-crash technology industry was of the early 2000's. The emergence of new technologies in medicine, an aging working population, and retiring baby boomers are all expected to provide tremendous growth to the industry over the next several decades.
Many companies will inevitably capitalize on this growth more »
The Profitable Business of Developing Orphan Drugs
By Kanak Kanti - June 4, 2013 | Tickers: ALXN, NPSP, SNY
"Making every patient count" is a catchy phrase that is perhaps most meaningful for biotech companies like NPS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: NPSP) who are in the business of developing orphan drugs. The simple reason – they cannot afford to lose a single patient just because there aren't too many of them. Their whole business is centered around producing drugs for rare diseases that bigger pharma often does not address, and in more »

Canada's venture capital industry is a damsel in distress so we should be thankful the federal and provincial governments are coming to the rescue.
With not enough money being sprinkled by VCs on money-hungry startups, the federal and provincial governments has been stepping into the breach. Earlier this week, FedDev (a federal government agency with $190-million to invest) injected $4.85-million in eight Ontario startups, while VCs and angels coughed up an additional $15.2-million.
"Ideas and innovation are what the creative economy is all about," Gary Goodyear, Canada's Minister of State for Science and Technology, said in a statement. "This will create highly skilled jobs in southern Ontario, and have the potential to make a lasting impression on the economy of our region and beyond."
Translation: We need to create some New Economy jobs so if we gotta invest in startups, we gotta invest in startups.
So why is government playing a key role within the venture capital landscape?
The big issue is the lack of institutional support for venture capital from players such as pension funds, insurance companies, bank and businesses. According to the CVCA's annual report, fund-raising stalled at $1-billion in 2011.
In an interview that will appear in my Globe & Mail "Start" column tomorrow, iNovia Capital managing partner Chris Arsenault said institutional investors are still risk-adverse about venture capital, while businesses are ignoring the benefits of making even small investments (and we're talking single-digit millions of dollars).
The fact that government needs to play a pro-active role is, diplomatically speaking, disappointing, particularly when you consider how many governments are in belt-tightening mode. But the reality is if government isn't involved, there could be a financing void that will hamper the venture capital and startup marketplaces.
In an ideal world, the investments supported by government will be successful, not only in creating jobs but creating wealth that can be reinvested by successful entrepreneurs. At the same time, success could – and this is a big "could" – embolden institutional investors to get into the game after sitting on the sidelines for far too long.

How to Enter

- There will be up to a total of 24 separate "Bingo" games associated with this Contest for the Regular Season games, plus up to 10 additional separate "Bingo" games for designated Post Season games (if any).

- Every Friday on the dates listed immediately above, between 6am-9:30am (ET) the WGR Morning Show will play "Bingo" by announcing bingo numbers that correspond with the Bingo Card contestants downloaded from the Station's website. The numbers to be announced will be pre-determined. That Friday's numbers will be announced sporadically between 6am-9:30am and the quantity of numbers announced during each announcement will vary from 1 number to 4 numbers (in Station's sole discretion). Contestants who have downloaded a valid Bingo Card from the Station's website should mark their card each time they have an exact match as announced on air by Station. If a contestant completes a "Bingo" by successfully matching and completing five (5) spaces on contestant's valid Bingo Card in a row, column or diagonal, to the numbers announced by the WGR Morning Show that morning then they should immediately call (716) 644-9878. The first contestant to get through to (716) 644-9878 with a "Bingo" wins a Qualifying Prize (see details below), will be assigned to the designated Sabres game for that particular Bingo game play (see above) and must designate one (1) player on the Sabres as their 'Selected Player' during their designated Sabres game to the Station representative (which may be broadcast on air and/or recorded by Station) (subject to confirmation of eligibility and compliance with the Contest rules) (each a "Qualifier").
- In the event that NO ONE calls the contest line above by 9:45am on that Friday with a valid Bingo match, Station will make an announcement and accept the 9th caller to the 716-644-9878 to be a Qualifier for that play of the contest.
- Only the one (1) selected Qualifier as designated by the Station shall be assigned to the designated game for that particular Bingo game play. All other participants who have completed a Bingo on their card or attempted to contact the Station for that particular Bingo game play are disqualified and not eligible to participate further in that particular Bingo game play. If designated caller does not qualify because they did not have Bingo (if required) or they are ineligible for any other reason, or they do not want to be assigned to the designated game for that Bingo game play, or they do not designate their 'Selected Player' at the time they are selected as a Qualifier, then that designated caller will be disqualified and will forfeit their Qualifying Prize and their right to be assigned to the designated game and designate a Selected Player for that particular Bingo game and Station may select the next subsequent caller (as determined in Station's sole discretion) who satisfies the contest requirements (i.e. Bingo card or 10th , 11th etc… caller, as applicable) to be a Qualifier (subject to confirmation of eligibility and compliance with the Contest rules).
- Designated Sabres NHL post season game must be played within 7 days of qualifying in accordance with the week dates set forth in the chart above. If there is no Sabres NHL post season game played within those 7 days (but the Sabres have not yet been eliminated from further participation in the postseason), the Qualifier's chance at the Grand Prize is forfeited but the Qualifier does receive the Qualifying Prize.
How to Win
- If a Qualifier's 'Selected Player' during that Qualifier's assigned designated game scores 3 or more goals (a "Hat Trick") (each of the goals consisting of the Hat Trick must be recorded as an official goal scored by the 'Selected Player' by the official league, and recorded in the official game stats to be a valid grand prize winning opportunity in this Contest) then that Qualifier will be a Grand Prize Winner and will win a Grand Prize (see details below), subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the Contest rules. If any designated game is cancelled prior to the game being ruled an official game, then all stats are removed and no Grand Prize will be awarded for that corresponding cancelled or unofficial designated game. Any rescheduled designated game or a designated game in which play is resumed shall be eligible for this Contest.
- The potential Grand Prize Winner will be notified by phone or email (at the address/numbers provided in their entry form) within 72 hours of being selected as a potential Grand Prize Winner.
- A total of up to 34 Qualifier prizes will be awarded (24 associated with Regular Season games and up to 10 associated with Post-Season games (if any)). Each verified Qualifier will receive:

You may have noticed - WinterBoard wasn't working on the iPhone 3GS.
Well guess what? It is now.
Thanks, Saurik.
Holding the home and power buttons to reboot after it was stuck on reboot didn't fix it for me. Had to restore.
YAY! <--- in deep man voice.lol
Is Vibrus 3G working yet, anyone know? Mine isn't...
Another successful Winterboard install here on the 3G S...Thanks Saurik!!
EDIT: The Dial-Pad works, just no key pad feedback...
I stumbled across the Mobile Substrate update this morning, and I figured maybe this was the Winterboard fix...and it worked...even the Buuf2 theme downloaded the first time, fast!
Thank you, Saurik.
i restored it and instead of using purplerain i used redsn0w. and then installed wb and substrates and it got locked up again. will not boot up.
Does anyone know if ToneFXs will work now that Winterboard and Mobile substrate are fixed?
Hey Poetic: This would get released while I'm at work. Oh well, just glad it's finally here. I was missing my personalizations. Much thanx to all the devs for continuing such fine work
yea. is there proper way to update things? do you have to add a source or something?
Strange. I updated MobileSubstrate, then installed Winterboard. Phone restarted in safe mode and I went to uninstall WinterBoard and it told me updates were available.
Downloaded them and reloaded the springboard and bam, everything works again.
BTW - What is the theme in the OP w/ the sad box. That's freakin awesome.
vWallpaper doesn't work...
SMS themes don't work... (where is the sms-background.png file we can change manually?)
Keyboard themes don't work...
Dialer themes, battery themes, and dialer themes DO work.
Im installing winterboard now and will post any updates or any other problems(I hope not).
Installed winterboard and winterboard settings and payow it works, thank you so much!!!!!!!
3gs jailbroken with purplerain rc2. installed updated mobile substrate then updated winterboard. phone can't get start springboard now....i power it up and i see the apple logo then it just shuts down automatically. anyone else have a similar problem?
For those who this is NOT working for... did you jailbreak on a Mac or on a PC (GeoHotz method)? Or did you use the devteams method. I am thinking errors may have something to do with the method of JB, as my GF was having trouble when she JB using GeoHatz Mac method. Soon as we did it on my PC it worked fine.

Queen of the Night2 Reviews
Is it a crime to wanna shine in my white go-go boots?
I see you eyeing me off, as I twirl and spin and dance. I know I'm driving you wild, baby. Can't you tell I'm doing it deliberately, swaying my hips and acting fucking possessed. They call me firecracker, because when I explode, I explode with a bang. I bet you want me to explode all over you, don't you? You want me moaning your name, don't you? I can tell. Lucky boy, tonight's your night.
I'm sashaying your way. I can feel your eyes roaming my skin, devouring me like I'm a roast chicken dinner and you're the hungriest man on earth. It's $200, I tell you, just a little whisper in your ear. You're sliding the money into my bra and now I'm pulling you away, away from this seedy bar and into the hotel room I booked for the night.
You're pushing me down, biting and sucking at my skin, tearing my clothes off and you say you're gonna make me feel like a princess. I must admit, you do know what you're doing, you're pressing all the right buttons and sucking all the right spots, and I'm writhing under you, whining because I want more.
You sit up, and smirk at me. You're telling me to keep my boots on - do go-go boots turn you on, sugar? I bet they do. You pull me into your lap, I lower down, I know this routine so well. You're enjoying this, tipping your head back and groaning and touching me. I tell you to keep your fingertips on my waist. Let me do all the work.
I'm touching myself now, and I can tell you're so damn close. Your voice is getting all hoarse, and-
Nothing. I've plunged my knife into your chest, but I'm not gonna stop sliding up and down. Your fingertips are still on my waist. I'm still just pushing myself up and down, and there it goes, I feel like a princess. Thank you, honey, you did make me feel so good. I bet I made you feel good, too. One little stab is far too normal. I pull myself off of you, and slice it off, the patch of flesh that's ruled your life for too long. Your eyes are still open. I suck you, swirling my tongue round your still-hot flesh.
I draw six large lines with my knife. They form a sort of macabre heart. Your blood is flowing now, spilling down onto the sheets, creating an awful sight. Look what you've done, you disgusting animal. I'm gonna have to clean you up now. Look, you've gotten blood on my boots. You're horrible, filthy, awful.
When the police arrive, I'm licking blood off you. It's painting my lips like the prettiest, sweetest lipstick a girl could ever want. They're handcuffing me now, I'm still naked. They convict me of over 20 murders. 20! And you thought you were special, hah.
When they ask me what I have to say for myself, I just look at them, and ask:
"Is it a crime to wanna shine in my white go-go boots?"
Well, hello there. Claire, when are you gonna write something happy, I hear you ask. Never, I laugh.
This was inspired by Go-Go Dancer by Lana Del Rey. Amazing song, amazing artist. I adore Lana.
Anyhow, if your pretty little eyes are poisoned by this, leave me a comment.
Also: I need to find a topic to focus on that isn't murder or sex of a combination of the two. I write way too much dark stuff. Trust me, I've tried happy, and it never works. I think I'll try some dark humor in Miss Jackson. Just to leave a quick hint: I love making him a victim.

WIP Wednesday: Knit Elephant Amigurumi
Here's what I've been up to~
I knit a small elephant amigurumi years ago and I got inspired to remake it. I wanted to make it bigger and more child friendly. It just needs legs! :D
I used Red Heart Super Savers in Medium Purple. I'd love to make another one in rainbow stripes!!
I don't knit amigurumi often so it was a little weird. I'd love to convert my crochet patterns into knitting someday!

Advantage Club Originals put a new twist on giving back during its mini tradeshow and breakfast Wednesday morning.
The group of local business owners, decision makers, and sales associates hoped to make the largest "TP Tower" they could, with all donations of toilet paper going to Rockford's Carpenter's Place. They reached that goal and then some when Scott Brand announced it was donating 10,000 rolls to the cause.
Carpenter's Place helps homeless adults rebuild their lives. For more information, visit them at www.carpentersplace.org.

"precursor to Hitchhiker?"
this is very much a pre-Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel. it has much in the way of the odd ball events and satiric jabs at society etc. that pop up in Adam's work. while i found it very much like HGG and enjoyed it, i did find myself wishing for a little more of the manic Adams movement and wordplay etc. Hodgman is passable as a narrator but could have read with a little more gusto. still all in all good and i do like the ending but a couple scenarios perhaps go on a bit too long. can't give it more stars simply because it is done better by Adams.
I don't think I'd try Sheckley again. Hodgeman was great in Year Zero.
I kept waiting for it to get funny but it just kept dragging on. It just wasn't my brand of funny.
"Beyond Brilliant!"
I love an intelligent book -- but when it's very clever as well, I'm all in! The whole of this book, extremely well read by Hodgman by the way, is a marvelous metaphor for how we view the universe, earth, religion, ourselves...well, you just have to listen. This is one of the very few books I'll listen to again and again; there's just so much rich content. Sheckley is truly a genius.
"Painful and a struggle to get through"
No, not certain that i will, this has put me off.
I came to this next after Ready player one and Outlander, expecting high things. It just doesn't work for me, its painful, and a drag to get through.
I'm not familiar with John other than he is a PC advert, so perhaps I dont have an ear for his work.
It was short, thank goodness.
I like HHGTTG, and hard sci Fi, Heinlein, Asimov etc, this just didn't kick off at all for me, sorry.
"Carol from Audible gave a great recommendation"
I pulled up a chat window to rectify a situation at Audible. Carol helped me out quickly and then asked if I'd like a recommendation. She pointed me to "Dimension of Miracles" and I was happy that she did.
This book reminded me of Douglas Adams (having read Adams first). Their sense of humor is similar and they have a way of throwing the reader a curve ball that makes you pause and think. To top it off John Hodgman does an outstanding job of narrating. Having seen him on The Daily Show and listened to narrations of his own work I wasn't sure he'd be able to pull off multiple characters but he proved me wrong.
Tell us about yourself!
"An Excellent Story That Was Over Sold"
The story was a very enjoyable listen. The preposterous circumstances faced by the main character entertain and bemuse. The narration was done very well it will be an enjoyable read for any lover of unusual circumstances that lead the reader astray.
This book was compared to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by many people who recommended it. I found that this was over selling the story. The laughable absurd circumstances that occur in the Hitchhikers Guide were, I found, sorely lacking in this book. The story however is an enjoyable read. I would suggest this book. If you are a lover of the hitchhikers guide do not be surprised if the story lacks the laugh out loud humor of the Douglas Adams.
"Be Careful About Aliens with Prizes"
It was fun to try to figure out where he would end up next and wondering what different places would be.
I liked the prize the best because of the variations and dialogue it provided.
I think the same as most books that are read out loud. I could spend my time enjoying the book instead of wondering about pronunciations.
Congratulations, you won a prize...
"This is amazing"
This is maybe the best audiobook I've come across. The narration is so, so perfect.
This grumpier, pre-dated version of Hitchhiker's Guide is pretty excellent. I liked it much more, frankly.
John Hodgman is a king among whatever sub-surface dwelling species he comes from. Oh man.
The concept is pretty great. Nothing is magical to the creature that is responsible for whatever the thing is you think is so magical. It's just their nature, or job. Even great creators deal with bureaucracy.
Download this. Download it right now.
I was surprised that this was written before the guide to the Galaxy series. If you liked that series you will like its original inspiration.
"This recording sounds cheap"
I've liked Robert Sheckley's humor and invention. I've enjoyed John Hodgman's intelligence and wit. They are a great complementary team. If you enjoy a recording that sounds like it was made on a recycled 49 cent tape cassette: blips, hiss, flutter and wow that kill all the enjoyment of the story; then you'll enjoy this. I've listened with many devices and headphones, and in each case I've had to give up after a few hours. I don't know who decided on the compression settings, but the result is thin, flat, disappointing. Can bandwidth really be so dear that shaving the file size below tolerable fidelity is an economic necessity, or is it simple contempt?

SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO-AM) Sioux Falls Fire Rescue recently received a thank-you letter from a grateful mother who acknowledged that her children were alive in part because of a car seat check at Fire Station 3.
Rebecca Barefoot was driving to work on January 3, 2014, when she hit ice while changing lanes on Interstate 90. She rolled her husband's truck several times, totaling the vehicle. However, she and her two children with her in the truck, Cale, age 2, and Cole, age 1, remained safe.
"Both of my babies remained snug in their seats during the entire episode, and neither received so much as a scratch, even though the windows all around them shattered," says Rebecca.
About two months earlier, Sioux Falls Fire Rescue installed two free car seats into Rebecca's husband's truck and ensured the seats were the right size for each toddler.
"Yes, we use our seat belts every time and make sure they're positioned correctly," said Rebecca's letter to the firefighters and car seat technicians. "Yes, I believe God had His hand over us as the vehicle rolled and kept us from harm. Most of all, yes, I firmly believe y'all are angels for making sure my boys' car seats were installed correctly, thereby ensuring their safety and saving their lives."
"Oftentimes we don't get to hear the outcome of our efforts to help keep people safe," says Fire Rescue Chief Jim Sideras. "Letters like Rebecca's remind us that the little things do matter, like ensuring your child's car seat is properly installed."
Sioux Falls Fire Rescue provides car seat installation and checks each Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. at Fire Station 3, 2820 South Minnesota Avenue. No appointment is necessary.

Stephen Hodge
Thu Oct 21, 2010 9:40 pm Cowboys LB Stephen Hodge is done for the season after undergoing microfracture surgery Thursday on his right knee.
Fantasy Source Spin: He will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. It's Hodge's second microfracture procedure, though the one in June of 2009 was to his left knee. He was unable to take part in offseason workouts this year, and he's looking at the same scenario again in 2011. His NFL career is in serious jeopardy.

Mon Aug 30, 2010 11:26 am Cowboys placed LB Stephen Hodge (knee) on the reserve/PUP list.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 2009 sixth-rounder may never get his career off the ground. Hodge underwent a serious microfracture procedure after recovering slowly from an April, 2009 knee scope. Hodge is eligible to return from PUP in Week 7, but the Cowboys are deep at inside linebacker and won't rush him back.

Sun Apr 18, 2010 2:24 pm Cowboys LB Stephen Hodge (microfracture surgery) isn't expected to be cleared until training camp begins.
Fantasy Source Spin: Microfracture surgery is a serious procedure that can often take more than a year to recover from. Hodge likely has an uphill battle to make the team.
Source: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Wed Feb 10, 2010 12:49 pm Cowboys LB Stephen Hodge is still recovering from microfracture surgery.
Fantasy Source Spin: The procedure, which ended Hodge's rookie year last summer, was initially called a scope. Turns out it was far more serious. While Hodge should be ready for training camp, he's not a great bet to make the 2010 roster.

Sat Sep 5, 2009 9:45 am Cowboys placed rookie LB Stephen Hodge (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: The sixth-round pick underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in June and recovered slowly. He'll return in 2010 to compete for a roster spot.
Source: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Wed Jun 24, 2009 3:06 pm The Cowboys' website reveals that sixth-round pick Stephen Hodge underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on June 16.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hodge needed OTAs more than most rookies because he's converting from college safety to NFL linebacker. It can't help his odds of making the club.

- Yes.
16- WASHED OUT / Paracosm
Was not an outstanding album for me, however the album cover is. Plus, I prefer this cover to Phoenix's.
15- PHOSPHORESCENT / Muchacho
Alluring album, and I love the feeling of spontaneity that surrounds this shot on the cover.
14- LOCAL NATIVES / Hummingbird
'Heavy Feet' was a great single, and weird/awkward positions has always been my thing.
13- GROUPER / The Man Who Died In His Boat
This release makes me cherish 'Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill' more, however the cover is so intriguing and full of unrest. I dig it.
12- RHYE / Woman
A very sensual album, as you can tell by its cover. It's one of those covers that reflect its music 100%.
11- THE NATIONAL / Trouble Will Find Me
I think I did mention my weak spot for the awkward imagery… As for the music, the album grew on me much more than I expected.
10- LADY GAGA / Artpop
I don't think I am going to give this album a full listen any time soon, but that doesn't make me not appreciate the cover!..
9- WHITE LIES / Big TV
Yay! for a good old painted album art! & some long-awaited good Brit Rock!
These guys made a great use of Janet Farrar's photo as their cover art. The cover definitely elevates the album.
7- TIM HECKER / Virgins
It's those eerie moments that take you out of your comfort zone.
6- DAVID BOWIE / The Next Day
This is what I call the magic of the simple.
5- QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE / …Like Clockwork
My second favourite illustrated cover of this year… The album is a must.

I take this opportunity to announce my favourite album of this year «

Here's my favourite illustrated album cover of the year. I would gladly live in this world.

The Minnesota Regional Copper-Nickel Study is a comprehensive examination of the potential cumulative environmental, social and economic impacts of copper-nickel development in northeastern Minnesota. It was conducted from 1976 through 1978 by a special study team assembled by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board. Funding for the study was provided by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources.
The executive summary of the 5 volume, 36 chapter report presents some of the major findings of the Study. In addition, over 180 technical reports, extensive environmental monitoring data files, special sample collections, and other information resources compiled by the Study, remain available at Minneapolis Central Library.
The Minnesota Regional Copper-Nickel Study remains relevant today in light of renewed interest in the region by mineral resource development companies such as PolyMet and Twin Metals.
Thanks to the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, many volumes of the Study are also available digitally.

The last time Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury saw the Oklahoma defense, he was helping Texas A&M embarrass the Sooners in the Cotton Bowl in January.The Aggies rolled the Sooners for 633 yards and a 41-13 win in Arlington.Kingsbury was the Aggies' offensive coordinator, overseeing Johnny Manziel's Heisman-winning season.He sees a much a better Sooners defense now, however, as the 10th-ranked Red Raiders (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) travel to play No. 15 Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1) on Saturday.It's Tech's first tough road test of the season."I would definitely say so," said Kingsbury, who is the first Big 12 coach to begin his career 7-0. "Going on the road in that type of environment against that quality of an opponent, it's going to be a huge challenge for our guys. They're much improved. It looks nothing like what people saw in the Cotton Bowl. It's really been impressive what that coaching staff and those players have done this year."But the job Kingsbury has done in his first year as a head coach is the most impressive in the league. The Red Raiders, who were predicted to finish near the bottom of the league, have started 7-0 for the fourth time in their history. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen was an offensive coach when Kingsbury was Tech's quarterback a decade ago and saw then Kingsbury's future as a coach."There's a certain aspect of playing quarterback where you can kind of tell that," Holgorsen said. "Seeing his leadership ability out on the field. Just knowing how he interacts with the guys."Baylor cautiousBaylor (6-0, 3-0) continues to roll at a shockingly easy pace, including a 71-7 win over Iowa State on Saturday.Overconfidence won't be an issue, however, after the lumps the 8th-ranked Bears have taken in recent seasons, coach Art Briles said."We did take some body shots over the last couple of years, and even some face shots," he said. "It's not like we're a clean, well-dressed football team. We've been weathered a little bit so that part of it establishes humility and hunger."Kansas (2-4, 0-3), which is tied for last place in the league, has played tough in losses to TCU and Oklahoma the past two weeks."You can't sleep on anybody. We understand that because we've been up there two years ago and down 24-3 in the fourth quarter," Briles said. "We're going to have to be on top of our game to have a chance to get out of there with a win."In 2011, the Bears' Robert Griffin III threw two long touchdown passes and ran for another in the fourth quarter at Kansas as Baylor won in overtime, 31-30.Briefly• Oklahoma DB Julian Wilson is expected to practice Tuesday and play Saturday against Texas Tech, coach Bob Stoops said.• West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett will start against Kansas State and is likely to be the Mountaineers' starter the rest of 2013, coach Dana Holgorsen said.• Injured Texas quarterback David Ash (neck) has been been part of team meetings and is still hopeful he'll return to the field this season, coach Mack Brown said, but he won't play against TCU.

Events at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel - Nashville
Widespread Panic
Totally Acoustic Wood Tour
Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 7:30 PM
Since their formation in the mid-eighties, Athens, Georgia jam band Widespread Panic have set attendance records and risen to elite status in their genre. The current line-up includes guitarist/singer John Bell, bassist Dave Schools, drummer Todd Nance, percussionist Domingo "Sunny" Ortiz, keyboardist John "JoJo" Hermman and guitarist Jimmy Herring.
Known for never playing the same show twice, the band has a show-to-show ritual of choosing the night's setlist. At the beginning of each tour, a member of the band's road crew makes a master list of all the songs the band performs and laminates it. Each night before the show he marks the last 3 nights' set lists in different colors. The band can see what has been played recently and then decide what songs to play during the first set. They return to the list during setbreak to pick songs for the second set, and likewise, return after the second set for any additional sets if playing more than two, or the encore.

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. -- The Habitat for Humanity store was burglarized, possibly over the weekend, sheriff's deputies said.
The Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to a burglary call at the store near the 3800 block of N. Sullivan Road. An employee told investigators the store had been burglarized sometime between Saturday evening and Monday morning.
According to authorities, the burglar or burglars entered through a broken window and stole a donation box that contained an estimated $1,000 in coins and cash.
There were no suspects in the burglary Tuesday. Anyone with information about the case was urged to call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.

The Public Choice of Non-resident College Tuition Levels
AbstractThis paper uses a public choice framework to analyze the choice of tuition levels charged by public institutions to nonresident students. It finds that a state's relative strength in attracting both population and students leads to higher tuitions and that large numbers of private colleges and perhaps lack of job openings lead to higher tuition for nonresidents as do small fiscal gains from high-income newcomers. No support is found for the hypotheses that high enrollment growth or costs lead to relatively poor treatment of out-of-staters. Copyright 1994 by Kluwer Academic Publishers

Mon Power officials said the "upcoming patrols will include all of the 138 kV and 69 kV lines, these are typically lines on two-pole wood structures." The larger voltage, 500 kV lines were patrolled earlier this year, according to Mon Power.
Officials said the inspections are expected to take approximately 10 to 12 days, weather permitting and said that the helicopter will be flying slowly along the lines.

Rick Nash > Mike Green - 11-02-09
Anything that allows us to prop up the legend of Rick Nash and simultaneously deflate the overrated baloon of Mike Green is something we'll always take advantage of.
Check out these highlights from last night's Blue Jackets-Capitals game. At the 1:30 mark, Nash embarrases Green:
Wow. "Hans Jonsson" are two words that come to mind when watching that.
We actually think Green displays better defensive form in this photo than he did on Nash:


text: This was a work-in-progress for months, mostly because I needed to get to a store for a specific supply and I was lazy. The tape on the binding is actually much more metallic — it looks a bit dull in the photo, but it's shiny silver.This is just the front — I also did the back cover (but no gems) there. I think it's one of my favorite things I've made, which is great, since it's for me.

In the early game, a missed 32-yard field goal by Billy Cundiff cost the Baltimore Ravens a shot at advancing to Super Bowl XLVI. Now just a few hours later, New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes booted a 31-yarder in overtime to lift the Giants over the San Francisco 49ers, 20-17.
The game-winning field goal was set up after a devastating fumble by punt returner 49ers Kyle Williams. It was the second time in the game that Williams literally dropped the ball. The New York Giants are now 5-0 in NFC Championship games in the franchises history.

Billboard -- Scottish producer-DJ Calvin Harris ' "18 Months," which debuted atop the U.K. album chart in November, returned to the summit yesterday (Sunday) with a 7-1 climb. Emeli Sandé 's "Our Version Of Events," which fell to second place, nevertheless claimed another record, for the most consecutive weeks in the U.K. top ten for a debut solo artist album from its point of release, with 47. James Arthur's "Impossible" continued to top the singles chart.
"18 Months" is now in its tenth week on the album survey and Harris climbed back into the top 20 of the new singles chart with two tracks from it. "Drinking From The Bottle," featuring Tinie Tempah, jumped from No. 43 to a new peak of No. 15, while the former No. 1 "Sweet Nothing," featuring Florence Welch, rebounded 25-18.
Sande's album now has total U.K. sales of 1.43 million units, according to the Official Charts Company. Its unbroken 47-week run in the top ten has only once been bested by any debut album, when the Beatles ' "Please Please Me" racked up 62 straight weeks in 1963 and 1964.
Much of this week's album chart activity was prompted by retail discounting of existing big sellers. Ed Sheeran's "+" thus rose 13-3, Jake Bugg's self-titled debut 16-4 and Rita Ora's "Ora" 8-6. Fun. climbed 18-10 with "Some Nights." "Now! That's What I Call Music 83" leads the compilation chart for a seventh consecutive week.
James Arthur's second straight week at the singles summit adds to the one he enjoyed before Christmas with "Impossible." Weekly sales of 74,000 took its running sales total to 970,000 copies. "Scream & Shout" by will.i.am featuring Britney Spears and Psy's "Gangnam Style" held at Nos. 2 and 3 in a chart with few significant climbers. Bruno Mars climbed 6-4 with "Locked Out Of Heaven" from the "Unorthodox Jukebox" album, which held at No. 5, and Taylor Swift climbed 7-5 with "I Knew You Were Trouble."
"Stay" by Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko improved 12-7 after reaching No. 4 two weeks ago, and Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child," featuring John Martin, was up 11-9. Outside the top 40, there was sales action for two rising artists who achieved critical recognition last week: American sisters Haim made their top 75 debut at No. 51 with "Don't Save Me" after winning the BBC's Sound of 2013 tastemaker poll, and Columbia/Sony's Tom Odell at No. 56 with "Another Love" following the announcement that he will be the recipient of the Critics' Choice title at next month's 2013 BRIT Awards.

It appears the controversy isn't over. Sarah Palin has proven her ability to travel through time to remove the entire Harry Potter series from the Wasilla Public Library back before any of the books were even published, but now she proves to hold even more Peter Petrelli-like abilities (or is it Sylar???) by having more than one superpower.
It seems that a San Francisco (ah, you mean "gay") activist donated two controversial children's books to Wasilla, but was turned down in his attempt to have them added to the circulating collection. The current librarian gave the lame excuse that the books "lacked engaging illustrations and seemed to lack the ability to engage young readers" (again, meaning "too gay").
[Wasilla public library back in the news again . By Marjorie Kehe 10.20.08]
So the books failed the approval process. How could this happen in 2008? -- Read More
Funny or Die is hosting a literal translation of a Tears for Fears video that takes place in a library. Instead of the schmaltzy lyrics, they sing about what is happening in the real music video. They really nailed libraries in the 1980s, not only does it prominently feature a monkey but a rabbi, a mullet, a quaint old card catalog, and of course a hot librarian stalked by a
creepy patron lead singer from the band who happens to be "head over heels" for her. It is subtitled for your pleasure.
I've been listening to A Short History of Nearly Everything in my car and I find it amazing that every task took so long to complete in the early days of science. It was common for one single experiment to take a year or more. I'm guessing scientists spent much of that time dressing and fastening buttons.
But yet the research produced the most amazing discoveries. It must be that slow processes produce deep thoughts.
I guess to be really aligned with the purpose of the book, I should call this Work Like an Eighteenth Century Librarian Day, but that century just seems so messy.
So for "Work Like a Nineteenth Century Librarian" Day, I propose that we take our time and do things slowly and seek timeless or even philosophical results. We should ask "Why?" of our patrons, and "Why?" of the question or of questioning itself. Seek timeless understanding. But mostly, take it slow.
Library patron: "I would like to see everything you have on Fratercula arctica."
Nineteenth Century Librarian: "Please record your request upon this document, and I shall begin the research at the first available opportunity."
Library patron: "May I inquire as to the length of time it may take to fill?"
Nineteenth Century Librarian: "I shall endeavor to satisfy your request within six weeks."
Library patron: "Only six weeks? Miraculous!"
Fashion Advice: Straight, long skirts have more than a hint of the sexy librarian about them (Chanel does a great sexy librarian just now). A full, mid-calf length is more dramatic, even poetic, in effect, but still more severe than anything bringing the droopily bohemian 1970s to mind."
Here's A Link To Stephen Colbert Episode about "Commie" Libraries. It's during the second segment, just after the "Threat Down."
So I don't know if you heard, but apparently the Annoyed Librarian has sold out and has started writing for LJ.
I saw a post that derided her (or their) new found fame as if getting paid a little money for writing is a horrible thing. But now she has to really write stuff. She has to find a way to be annoyed about libraries once or twice a week in order to earn her keep; and this means she's probably going to have to make stuff up. I hope she can figure out how to do it and still "keep it real." (sorry.)
But because of this news, I feel I need to confess something to all of my readers, the.effing.librarian has been making money writing about libraries for many years now, for example:
Dear Penthouse letters,
You won't believe what happened to me in the LIBRARY the other day. I was browsing the stacks looking for a tune-up manual for my badass Kawasaki 650 when I was approached by a woman who was pretty stacked herself. She had huge double-D's, and when she noticed my gaze targeting her huge rack, she pressed past me in the narrow aisle and pushed those well-fed puppies against my tense chest. And you can bet that's not all that was getting tense.
She was somewhere in her thirties, a little on the plain side, but pretty, with her hair pinned up in the back and her lips colored the same bright red that was printed on the "no cell phones" sign in the front of the Circulation desk. Her skirt stretched against her firm backside as she bent down to retrieve my book. -- Read More
A Funny Little Image post from the Speak Quietly blog on one possible (distopian) future vision of libraries.
Yay, it's Banned Books Week. But not for ugly books. Only pretty, popular books get celebrated this week.
The ALA BBW press kit says, "Banned Books Week 2008 will kick off in Chicago, with a Read-Out! The event will feature popular banned or challenged authors and local Chicago celebrities..."
See? No one cares if unpopular books are banned or challenged or reconsidered or whatever you want to call it.
I would love to see the list of books that people have asked libraries to remove that were discarded without argument or protest. The librarian just looked at it and said, "you're right, that's crap and doesn't belong in our library; I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered it. Thanks for pointing it out."
A couple of weeks ago on the TV show House, the eponymous doctor was reading what looked like some bad porn novel with a title like Bondage Women in Prison; you know the ones with no cover art and filled with typos like vajina and oreola... like the ones I have on my bookcase over here. What if someone saw that episode and came in to get that book? And it was a real book. And no other library in the country owned it, but it was available from your book vendor? Would you buy a copy to fill the request?
No, you'd make some excuse about books requiring recommendations from a prominent review source even though half the books you buy are prepubs or mass-markets or popular titles with no reviews except on Amazon. You probably wouldn't buy a copy and no one would care. -- Read More
So what secrets did "anonymous" expose by hacking into Sarah Palin's email? From what I saw, nothing damning. Only some questionable messages and this recipe:
Sarah's Polar Bear Fondue
One polar bear, cleaned
10 pounds flour
4 dozen eggs
50 pounds Gruyere
50 pounds Emmental
corn starch
6 bottles dry white wine
1 pound garlic, peeled, crushed
serve with Triscuits, yummers!
or with optional baby seal paté (recipe to be sent in follow-up email)
So, no smoking gun there. Odd, you say? Why? What Alaska fishwife doesn't have at least one polar bear recipe up her sleeve?
