If my eleven-year street brawl with Parkinson's has taught me anything, it's that old and rigid thinking still prevails in the ADL product/service business model.
This, of course, will change dramatically over the course of the next twenty years as Baby Boomers age and die, but for the near term there is still a paucity of even the most basic technology used in maintaining the quality of life for those of us who find ourselves to be - through no fault of our own - chronically ill, disabled or frail and aging.
Don't believe me? Join me at the assisted living facility where I've lived for four years (Don't forget your VCR) on a holiday . . .a day when many of the residents are taken to a child's home or restaurant for dinner. Watch the enormous difficulty the resident has getting in and out of a $90,000 Mercedes or $22,000 Honda and you begin to understand the scope of the problem.

here will probably be some butterflies as well, with three rookies in the Orange & Black lineup (Sean Couturier, Matt Read, and Zac Rinaldo). We expect to see a top line of Claude Giroux centering JVR and Jaromir Jagr. Hoooooo yeah. Danny Briere will likely start by centering Jakub Voracek and either Wayne Simmonds or Scott Hartnell. We think that could be a pretty fluid situation until they find a group with great chemistry.
