Good Times Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq:GTIM) announced a new radio campaign featuring iconic 1970's comedians Cheech & Chong to promote their limited time Santiago's Green Chile menu. "We asked our ad agency, Sukle Advertising, to come up with a creative platform that pushes the envelope with breakthrough qualities consistent with our historically irreverent brand personality and they certainly filled that bill with very funny scripts delivered by Cheech and Chong," said Boyd Hoback, President and CEO. He added, "We originally questioned whether Cheech & Chong are relevant to our customer base, but they are gaining new traction and affinity, particularly with the millennial crowd having appeared on the Simpsons, That '70s Show and a national comedy tour. While their personas are still tied to their movie and comedy album characters from many years ago, our ads make light of them turning All Natural and Good Times now being the dispensary of happiness."

Due to its high electrical conductivity, gold is a vital component of many electrical devices, including computers. It is used in the manufacture of approximately 50 million computers each year, as well as millions of televisions, DVDs, VCRs, video cameras and mobile phones. Gold has been used in medicine since 1927, when it was found to be useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Relaxing before going to bed will help a person fall asleep faster. Learning to substitute pleasant thoughts for unpleasant ones (imagery training) is a technique that can be very helpful in reducing worry. Another effective measure is the use of audiotapes that combine the sounds of nature with soft relaxing music. These, alone or in combination with other relaxation techniques, can safely promote sleepiness.
Changes in diet and exercise routines can also have a beneficial effect. Dietary items to be avoided include drinks that contain caffeine, such as coffee, tea and colas'chocolate (which contains a stimulant); and alcohol, which initially makes a person sleepy but a few hours later can have the opposite effect. Maintaining a comfortable bedroom temperature, reducing noise and eliminating light are also helpful. Regularly scheduled morning or afternoon exercise can relax the body. This should be done 3-4 times a week and be sufficient to produce a light sweat.
Somaxon Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Feedback on Silenor OTC Regulatory Pathway
Somaxon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOMX), a specialty pharmaceutical company, announced that it recently had a meeting with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) relating to the over-the-counter (OTC) development program for Silenor®. In the meeting, which Somaxon attended jointly with its Silenor partner Procter & Gamble, the FDA provided clinical and regulatory guidance that the company believes provides a clear path forward toward an OTC version of Silenor.
Somaxon believes that the FDA’s guidance provides an opportunity to develop an OTC label that is tailored to Silenor’s clinical profile and differentiated from other OTC sleep products. Somaxon believes that Silenor’s characteristics, including its lack of addiction potential and its clinical efficacy and safety profile, make it an ideal candidate to be the first prescription insomnia product to be converted to an OTC product.
Headquartered in San Diego, CA, Somaxon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the in-licensing, development and commercialization of proprietary branded products and late-stage product candidates to treat important medical conditions where there is an unmet medical need and/or high-level of patient dissatisfaction, currently in the central nervous system therapeutic area. Somaxon’s product Silenor, now available by prescription in the United States, is indicated for the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulty with sleep maintenance.

For 125 years, the ships built at Newport News Shipbuilding, like the American shipbuilders who built them, have served our nation in peace and war, in times of adversity and in times of abundance. Our legacy of "Always Good Ships" includes the design, construction, overhaul and repair of more than 800 ships for the U.S. Navy and commercial customers.
Today, Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, is the birthplace of the U.S. Navy's nuclear fleet. We are the nation's sole designer, builder and refueler of nuclearpowered aircraft carriers and one of only two shipyards capable of designing and building nuclear-powered submarines. We also provide fleet services for naval ships and have recently expanded our nuclear and manufacturing expertise into Department of Energy and alternative energy business ventures.
Headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, the shipyard's vast facilities span more than 550 acres along two miles of waterfront on the historic James River. We are the largest industrial employer in Virginia, employing nearly 19,000 people, many of whom are third and fourth generation shipbuilders.
HII Wins Contract to Provide Maintenance on Nuclear Reactor Prototypes at Kesselring Research and Development Site
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (NYSE:HII) announced that its Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division has been awarded a contract by Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corp. (BMPC) to provide maintenance services at the Kenneth A. Kesselring Site in West Milton, N.Y., a research and development facility that supports the U.S. Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Program. NNS will serve as an industrial subcontractor, providing maintenance services on the two nuclear reactor prototypes at the Kesselring site.
"Newport News Shipbuilding's skill sets, experience and commitment align well with BMPC's need for the highest-quality maintenance services for its Kesselring site," said Kent Williams, NNS' director of nuclear overhaul engineering and Kesselring site director. "We are eager to partner with BMPC to provide maintenance assistance, drive site improvement and support the company's vision going forward."
NNS successfully competed against the incumbent for the contract. The cost-plus-fixed-fee, level-of-effort contract contains a five-year base period valued at $195 million with a five-year option valued at $395 million. A NNS management team will relocate to the Kesselring site in October to begin the transition period. Performance of prototype maintenance services is scheduled to begin in January 2012.
