FDA approved Discovery Laboratories' Surfaxin (lucinactant) for the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in at risk premature infants. The drug comprises a synthetic peptide surfactant, KL4 (sinapultide), which mimics the activity of lung surfactant protein SP-B.
Approval of Surfaxin in the U.S. was based on data from two Phase III studies. One compared the safety and efficacy of Surfaxin with the non-protein-based synthetic surfactant Exosurf™ and animal-based Survanta®. The second compared Surfaxin with the porcine derived surfactant Curosurf®.
Data from the pivotal Select study in 1294 patients found that Surfaxin treatment improved 14-day RDS-related mortality in comparison with Survanta and Exosurf, and also improved RDS at 24 hours when compared with Exosurf. Surfaxin-treated infants also required fewer reintubations than those treated with Survantin. Data from supportive Phase III Star study confirmed the non-inferiority of Surfaxin compared with Curosurf in terms of survival without BPD. Surfaxin therapy was also associated with fewer reintubations, and the Surfaxin an improved one-year survival profile.
The Surfaxin technology originates from research at the Scripps Research Institute, which first created a synthetic mimic of SP-B back in the 1990s. The Institute claims that existing animal-derived surfactants are expensive, and can't be produced in quantities sufficient to treat pre-term infants worldwide. Animal-derived surfactants can in addition only be used once as they cause an immune reaction. In contrast, The synthetic Surfaxin surfactant is nonimmunogenic.
Discovery Laboratories is focused on the development of respiratory critical care technologies. The firm's pipeline is based on its KL4 surfactant technology, and its Capillary Aersolo generate (CAG) platform for the delivery of aerosolized respiratory drugs, including the KL4 surfactant. The firm is in addition developing a lyophilized formulation of Surfaxin, to negate the requirement of cold-chain storage and improve ease of use.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Hotel Rwanda: The Opinio Juris Review
One thing left me intitially puzzled: the confusing and rather skimpy background on the Arusha peace process, the origins of the RPF and the assassination of President Habyarimana. I left the theater wondering if that would leave most viewers without the appropriate political context. It wasn't until the next day -- this is the kind of film that stays with you for a while -- that I realized the historical fuzziness was likely intentional. Whatever the facts are about who fought whom or who had the most to gain politically or economically from the Arusha Accords, nothing can "explain" genocide. No background is really needed.
What is well developed -- and helped with a haunting score that sounds the drumbeats of death -- is the role of Radio Mille Collines, which used the airwaves as an efficient medium to communicate the commands to kill. The extent to which the radio enabled the Interhamwe to carry out the genocide in a country that did not have the kind of machinery of death of the Nazis was not widely recognized until well after the genocide. The role of the broadcasters as the "command and control" of the genocidaires was revealed in the trials and convictions of three RMC "journalists" before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
I have not read Paul Rusesabagina's autobiographical book on which the film is based, but understand from other sources that certain characters are composites (Nick Nolte as a Canadian Colonel in charge of the understaffed and doomed UN mission is based, loosely, on UNAMIR commander Romeo Dallaire). The extent to which the hotel, owned by the Belgian company Sabena, is spared from the killing because of its connection to powerful elites in the West is a bittersweet commentary on the utter failure of the West to intervene in any meaningful way to prevent or stop the slaughter outside the hotel gates. Rusesabagina is the main character, a decent, hardworking hotel manager who has bought into the product the Europeans and Americans have sold him: seamless customer service, a fine scotch, and a good Cuban cigar are the trappings civilization. He seems to suppress the misdeeds of the Belgian and German colonials (whose creation and exploitation of ethnic differences had left a scarred legacy on the region) And he doesn't realize, until it is too late, that geopolitics matter, and that western indifference to Africa would leave him and his countrymen to fend for themselves. In a poignant scene, Joachin Phoenix's character, a western tv cameraman who gets rare footage of some of the killing, cynically and, it turned out, accurately, predicts to Rusesabagina that outside help would not be coming: "If people see this footage, they'll say, 'Oh my God, that's terrible,' and they'll go on eating their dinners.''

Hi Deborahjb,
thank you for the report, but I've tested it also with WordPress 3.5.1 and there are no problems for me.
- I think it's possible that some of your other Plugins or Themes also use oEmbed Systems and there is a conflict between the two Plugins.
- Deactivate other Plugins and try it again
- Please make sure that you don't wrap some other HTML-Elements around the URL
- What URL do you use? What is it for a file? mp3?
Hi Deborahjb,
please give me some feedback or I set this topic as resolved.
kind regards
There was a conflict with the Facebook like box plugin. We changed the shortcode and got rid of the options and now it works. It was a url to an mp3 file on Amazon. We used [audio mp3="https://s3.amazonaws.com/link.mp3" controls="on" flash_fallback="on"]. Thanks for reaching out.
okay great.
There is also conflict with Silverlight plugin ! Must be off.
With Silverlight, really?? I've also installed Silverlight here, but I can't see any conflicts.
Yes Pascal, with Silverlight and Firefox 19.0 Mac.
When Silverlight is on, no toolbar in post and page editor.
I've tried my Plugin with Firefox 19.0 on a Mac with OS X 10.8 and Silverlight. There is no problem, are you sure that this is not a local problem on your machine or wordpress installation, maybe the metabox is hidden, check the options in the top right corner.
I've asked a good friend to try it with his Mac and Firefox 19.0 (+ Silverlight), he has also no problems.
I hope this will help you
My configuration :
Why would there be problems with Facebook and not with Microsoft ;-) ?

I replaced my ASUS laptop battery because the charge light started blinking orange and the battery would only last a couple of minutes before dying. This condition started suddenly, not with the usual slow decay in life. A new battery solved the problem, but after a few weeks the same thing happened again. I've now replaced the battery three times and still have the same problem. Obviously, either the computer charging circuit has a problem or the batteries are failure prone. So far, I have used generic batteries (not from ASUS).
My question is whether it's worth buying an original battery to see if I have better results, or whether this is most likely a motherboard problem. While I realize that 3rd party batteries may not be as good as the brand name ones, it seems a bit unlikely to me that three would fail in the same way, so I'm hesitant to invest in a relatively expensive "original" battery if my computer is just going to destroy it.

Marshall Crenshaw
It's been more than a quarter-century since Marshall Crenshaw's stellar, eponymous debut hit the streets and was propelled up the charts by the infectious "Someday, Someway." Well into the new millennium, Crenshaw is still the pure pop master of song craft, issuing taut, melodic nuggets as exhilarating as a stiff breeze off the lake, reasonably reflective when required, but shot full of brisk immediacy, smacking of optimism. Jaggedland (429), released this summer, is one of his strongest collections to date, full of cunningly irresistible hooks (especially "Live and Learn" and "Stormy River"), adept turns of phrase, and sharp bits of pop philosophizing that still ring true ("Eventually"), along with Crenshaw's trademark arch vocals and smart, snaggy guitar work. Crenshaw once played John Lennon in a traveling version of Beatlemania and portrayed Buddy Holly in the film La Bamba. Both are reflected in music that still celebrates those giddy times, cleverly concocted by an eccentric professor of pop conceits. Dan Israel opens. (photo by Todd Chalfant)

Catalogue entry
William Turnbull b. 1922
T01381 Horse 1954
Not inscribed.
Bronze, rosewood and stone, 44½ x 28¼ x 10¿ (113 x 72 x 27).
Presented by Alistair McAlpine 1971.
Exh: Marlborough-Gerson Gallery, New York, October 1963 (28); Newport Harbor Pavilion Gallery, Balboa, California, March–April 1966 (1, repr.); The Alistair McAlpine Gift, Tate Gallery, June–August 1971 (45, repr.).
Lit: Richard Morphet, in catalogue of The Alistair McAlpine Gift, Tate Gallery, 1971, pp. 106–21.
Repr: Uppercase, 4, 1960, pages not numbered (detail only).
The notes on all acquisitions of sculpture by Turnbull from T01381 to T01391 inclusive are based on the compiler's conversations with the artist in 1971 and were approved by him. They are quoted or adapted here from the text of the catalogue of the Alistair McAlpine Gift at the Tate Gallery in 1971.
T01381 is from an edition of two. Around 1953, Turnbull reacted against his early works' concern with movement and space. He became preoccupied by stasis. His 'Mask' reliefs of 1953 (masks being symbols for the withdrawal of direct contact with particular personalities) presented human attributes only in generalised form—as, later, would the 'Idols' and the totemic sculptures. Turnbull was anxious to reduce both the metaphoric associations, the formal complexities, and the exclusively aesthetic character of the use of materials, seen in much sculpture of the mid-1950's. Thus 'Horse', a generalised horse-head form, relates as closely to the sculpted horses in the Parthenon frieze (again, nature at one remove) as to the appearance of an actual animal. Its greater vigour (for all its stillness) than conventional horse sculpture of its period results from Turnbull being more interested in material and form than in metamorphosis. The idea 'horse' emerged from rather than motivated or permitted the sculptural process. The desired primacy of object over subject was facilitated by formal compression. The immediately preceding 'Pegasus', 1954, though close in subject and identical in technique, thrust into space in several directions, from a long spine. 'Horse', though only a part of the body, has greater self-sufficiency; moreover, resting nearly symmetrically, creating an elementary arch-form, it is more matter-of-fact.
It also exemplifies the rejection, typical of the new art of its period (as in Bacon, Paolozzi, Dubuffet, de Kooning, Kitchen Sink and early Pop) of a conventionally art-like look springing from a respectful handling of materials. By contrast with the lengthy craftsmanship of plaster for bronze, the animated surface of Horse results from pressing corrugated paper direct into soft plaster—a process in which marks are made instantly and in which the surface is articulated, to an important degree, by the operation of chance (both Dada and oriental philosophy influenced Turnbull's wish to disrupt will as a known quality). The aim was not so much surface decoration as varied kinds of control as the eye moved across the surface. This manner of surface handling, an assertion of the nature of the plaster and bronze process, had propensities of swift change which augmented Turnbull's sense of discovering something through the working process rather than subordinating that process to the making of a preconceived entity. He wanted sculpture to emerge with the directness of a suddenly found (rather than wrought) object, almost as if it had been dug up (an attitude which links him with Paolozzi and Hamilton in the 'contemporary archaeology' of popular culture). Turnbull's interest in the art forms of ancient cultures parallels those which he shared with his contemporaries in myth, junk culture, the mass media, and the art of children, the primitive and the insane, in the wish to combine detachment towards (often powerful) subject-matter with directness in the use of materials and the creation of form.
As his totemic sculptures would make explicit, Turnbull preferred the atmosphere of stonemason's or wood yard to that of the fine artist's studio. Like the strong feeling for the archaic in his work, this quality, projected by a sculpture, would help to avoid an inhibiting feeling of 'modern art' by, in Turnbull's words, 'taking it out of time'. This direct feeling is expressed in 'Horse' by the elementary blocks of wood and stone which are part of the sculpture, and nor base or pedestal as such. The focus of the sculpture remains on the head, but 'Horse' shows Turnbull's developing sense of the mode of a sculpture's connection with the ground as an essential part of the work.

Industialists have also voiced concern about the adverse impact of the US dollar-dominated multi-currency regime but there is no agreement on whether or not the country should ditch the greenback and what to do after that.
Some company executives have proposed adopting the South African Rand, an option supported by some politicians who include former finance minister and now leader of the opposition leader, Tendai Biti, but there is no consensus in industry over that route.
Zimbabwe ditched its worthless local currency in 2009 in decision that won praise after it helped stop hyperinflation and ended a bitter decade-long recession.
But the country has struggled to move beyond the stability and marginal recovery of the coalition government era with some analysts warning that the economy was now heading back to the dark 2008 days.
Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa recently conceded that the US dollar had done "a lot of damage to our economy. It pitched our cost structure too high and unsustainable".
Even so, the minister however said he would stick with the multi-currency regime in the medium term.
Business executives also discussed the issue at the recent Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) annual congress but there was no consensus on the way forward.
Former CZI president Joseph Kanyakanye said Zimbabwe should adopt the South African rand as the United States dollar was suffocating manufacturers due to its high value.
"We should adopt the rand as the only currency," he said.
"A six percent wage increase in USD terms and a six percent wage increase in rand terms are two totally different costs. This is why we are not competitive so the rand is what I am proposing," he said.
Nestle Zimbabwe managing director, Kumbirai Katsande, said South Africa would not allow Zimbabwe to join the rand union because of lack of consistency.
"The South African reserve bank has said no because they don't think we are responsible, that they can trust us or that we are disciplined," he said.
"They will be asking that you are independent, you are a sovereign state and how can you be part of us when we do not know what you are going to do tomorrow. We are on our own."
United Refineries chief executive Busisa Moyo agreed Zimbabwe should ditch the US dollar but not for the Rand.
"I am for a local currency, one that is backed by a resource, gold backed or platinum backed," said Moyo.
Other manufacturers felt that adopting a different currency while the country's "borders are still open" would still make industry uncompetitive. A new currency would need to be backed by a trade and industrial development policy, they said.
The permanent secretary in the industry and commerce ministry, Staneslous Mangoma, said the currency issue had also come under discussion in the region.
"Two weeks ago the Minister of Finance and Economic Development (Patrick Chinamasa) and the Minister of Industry and Commerce (Mike Bimha) were in Botswana discussing macro-economic convergence and in that debate the issue of currency was discussed," he said.
"But the region has not come up with an agreement on whether to use the rand but there's consensus that is emerging that we should not use the rand. A lot of countries in the region are not prepared to anchor their currencies on the rand."

As I mentioned in my previous blog, too many active people starve by day, in their efforts to lose weight, and then blow their diet by night. They think they lack "will power" when they overeat at night. Wrong. They lack nutrition "skill power."
Hunger is physiologicalas is the need to urinate. That is, if you need to pee at 11:00 a.m., do you make yourself wait until noon to go to the bathroom? Doubtful. But if you are hungry at 11:00 a.m., do you make yourself wait until noon to have lunch? Likely. And when the skimpy lunch does not fill you up, you then make yourself wait until dinner to eat, at which time you are too hungry to have control over food. You overeat, and that is physiology of hunger!
Once you understand that hunger is physiological and allow yourself to eat adequately during the day, life is easier and more enjoyable, and weight loss become more successful.
Think of it this way: if you were babysitting and the child was crying because it was hungry, not feeding that child would be called child abuse. Yet, if you under eat all day and are hungry, you are simply "on a diet." Wrong, you are abusing your body.
You can lose weight by eating just a little bit less at night. There's a big difference between being "starving" and "not quite full." Chip away at weight loss by eating just 100 to 200 calories less at night, and youll be more successful in the long run than trying to live hungry all day. Give it a try!

The problem addressed in this paper is the challenge of automated construction of knowledge discovery workflows, given the types of inputs and the required outputs of the knowledge discovery process. Our methodology consists of two main ingredients. The first one is defining a formal conceptualization of knowledge types and data mining algorithms by means of knowledge discovery ontology. The second one is workflow composition formalized as a planning task using the ontology of domain and task descriptions. Two versions of a forward chaining planning algorithm were developed. The baseline version demonstrates suitability of the knowledge discovery ontology for planning and uses Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) descriptions of algorithms; to this end, a procedure for converting data mining algorithm descriptions into PDDL was developed. The second directly queries the ontology using a reasoner. The proposed approach was tested in two use cases, one from scientific discovery in genomics and another from advanced engineering. The results show the feasibility of automated workflow construction achieved by tight integration of planning and ontological reasoning.

Most Important Cookbook of the Last 50 Years. Period.,
This review is from: Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume I: 50th Anniversary (Hardcover)
Rarely are we able to say with certainty that a book is at the top of its subject in regard and quality. This book, 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' by Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle, and Simone Beck is certainly in that most unique position among cookbooks written in English and published in the United States.
With Julia Child's celebrity arising from her long series of TV cooking shows on PBS, it may be easy to forget how Ms. Child rose to a position with the authority that gave her the cachet to do these shows in the first place. This book is the foundation of that cachet and the basis of Ms. Child's influence with an entire generation of amateur and professional chefs.
It may also be easy to forget that this book has three authors and not just one. The three began as instructors in a school of French cooking, 'Les Ecole des Trois Gourmandes' operating in Paris in the 1950's. And, it was from their experience with this school that led them to write this book. To be fair, Julia Child originated a majority of the culinary content and contributed almost all of the grunt work with her editors and publisher to get the book published.
The influence of this book cannot be underestimated. It has been written that the style of recipe writing even influenced James Beard, the leading American culinary authority at the time, to change his style of writing in a major cookbook on which he was working when '...French Cooking' was published. Many major American celebrity experts in culinary matters have cited Child and this book as a major influence. Not the least of these is Martha Stewart and Ina Garten. It is interesting that these first to come to mind are not professional chefs, but caterers and teachers of the household cook. Child was not necessarily teaching 'haute cuisine', she was teaching what has been named 'la cuisine Bourgeoise' or the cooking of the housewife and, to some extent, the cooking of the bistro and brasserie, not the one or two or three star restaurant.
The table of contents follows a very familiar and very comfortable outline, with major chapters covering Soups, Sauces, Eggs, Entrees and Luncheon Dishes, Fish, Poultry, Meat, Vegetables, Cold Buffet, and Deserts and Cakes. The table of contents does not itemize every recipe, but it does break topics down so that one can come very close to a type of preparation you wish from the table of contents. One of the very attractive schemas used to organize recipes in this book is to take a general topic such as Roast Chicken and give not one, but many different variations on this basic method. Under Roast Chicken, for example, you see Spit-roasted Chicken, Roast Chicken Basted with Cream, Roast Chicken Steeped with Port Wine, Roast Squab Chickens with Chicken Liver Canapes, Casserole-roasted Chicken with Tarragon and Casserole-roasted Chicken with Bacon. Thus, the book is not only a tutorial of techniques, it is also a work of taxonomy, giving one a picture of the whole range of variations possible to a basic technique.
The book goes far beyond being a simple collection of recipes in many other ways without straying from the culinary material. Unlike books combining regional recipes with anecdotal memoirs, this book is all business. Heading the recipes is a wealth of general knowledge on cooking variables such as weights versus cooking time and conditions. Headnotes also include general techniques on, for example, how to truss a chicken (with drawings) and many deep observations on professional technique. The notes on roasting chicken instructing one to attend to all the senses in watching and listening to the cooking meat in order to obtain the very best results. This may have easily come from the pen of Wolfgang Puck or Mario Batali.
The individual recipe writing is detailed in the extreme, and recipes typically run to two to three times as long as you may see in 'The Joy of Cooking' or 'James Beard's American Cookery'. The recipes are also very 'modular'. A single recipe may actually require the cooking of two or three component preparations. This is not an invention of Julia Child. I believe she has captured here an essential characteristic of French culinary tradition. The most common of these advance preparations is a stock. More complicated examples are to make a potato salad, a dish in itself, as a component to a Salade Nicoise. What Child may have originated, at least to the world of American cookbook writing, is the notion of a Master Recipe, where many different dishes are presented as variations on a basic preparation. This notion has been used and misused for decades.
This book has become so important in its field that it seems almost irreverent to question the quality of the recipes. I can only say that I have prepared several dishes from these pages, and have always produced a tasty dish and learned something new with each experience. While there are other excellent introductions to French Cooking such as Madeline Kamman's 'The New Making of a Chef', one simply cannot go wrong by using this book as ones entree into cooking in general and French cooking in particular.
The more I read other cooking authorities' writing, the more I respect the work of Julia Child and company. Observations on technique that went right over my head two years ago are now revealed as signs of a deep insight into cooking technique.
As large as the book is, the material presented to Knopf in 1961 was actually much larger and the second volume of the book is largely material created for the original writing. To get a reasonably complete picture of French Cookery, do get both volumes at the same time.
A true classic with both simple and advanced techniques. A superb introduction for someone who is just beginning an interest in food.

The ophthalmology market, although a relatively small niche in the pharmaceutical industry, is more than worthwhile to track for multiple reasons:
Ophthalmological Therapeutics: Pipelines, Delivery Technologies, and Markets provides a cutting-edge review of the challenges, achievements, and perspectives that characterize the inseparable therapeutic triad of ophthalmological pharmacology, surgery of the visual tract, and implantable ophthalmological medical devices. At annual sales of less than $10 billion, this is a niche segment by the standards of the drug industry; however, it is a highly prestigious and profitable field. Because nothing that concerns intervention with the visual system is trivial, highly innovative specialist companies dominate development on the pharmacological as well as on the drug delivery side, which is immensely important in ophthalmological medicine.
Specifically, this report covers:
The market for prescription drugs to treat eye disorders will experience considerable and consistent growth throughout the next 10 years. The partial table below shows some of the research and development programs that are part of the growing field.
Source: H.M. Pharma Consultancy
With its complexity and sensitivity—and with its tremendous importance to the quality of human life—the eye offers a broad range of challenges to pharmaceutical, surgical, and prosthetic science. Ophthalmological Therapeutics: Pipelines, Delivery Technologies, and Markets discusses in detail all the aspects that make the ophthalmology market fascinating, promising, and profitable.

The Foo Fighters choose local filmmakers to create their next music video, will play live in your garage
Three talented and fortunate Minnesota filmmakers have been chosen to create a new music video for the Foo Fighters. Director Justin Staggs and producers Ben Katz and Shane Nelson are currently in pre-production for a video for "Back And Forth," a song from the Foo's hotly anticipated forthcoming record Wasting Light. Filming is set to begin in the Minneapolis area on Sunday, March 20.
Staggs was selected based on a treatment he submitted to the band and FUSE network as part of their "This Video Sucks" competition, which saw hundreds of submissions, with the 25-year-old Staggs ultimately coming out on top. And, based on the litany of memorable and innovative Foo Fighters videos, Staggs certainly has a lot to live up to. But, despite his young age, Justin has already directed over three-dozen videos in his burgeoning career, and without question is ready to make his mark working with the Foo Fighters, helping bring a track from one of the most anticipated releases of 2011 to life and to the masses.
The production team of Katz and Nelson also have quite an impressive resume of their own, producing and directing a video for "A Life Less Ordinary" by Motion City Soundtrack, in addition to Katz's award-winning documentary work.
These three gifted local filmmakers should make a formidable and fun team while working with the Foo's, who should provide plenty of unscripted amusement on their own, based on Dave Grohl's notoriously playful history. All in all, it adds up to a chance of a lifetime for a bunch of dedicated artists who are ready to make their own slice of music video history with a band that is ready to take a chance on them. For more information about the filmmakers, check out their websites, justinstaggs.com and omni-fusion.com
And, speaking of the Foo Fighters, they have just announced a local date in the Twin Cities area, but it's certainly not the type of arena concert you've come to expect from the massive band. Inspired by recording their new record in Grohl's garage, the group has announced an eight-city tour/contest where they will play in YOUR garage on April 20 if you are the lucky winner.
All you have to do is take a photo of your garage and, in 25 words or less, tell the Foo Fighters why they should play there. If you win, you can invite 50 of your closest friends to the dream gig, and the Foos will bring the rock right to you. Seriously, how awesome would that be? So, clean out your garage and park your car in the street, because you just might be hosting the biggest rock show to hit the Twin Cities this spring. And if you do win, what do you say you keep me in mind for one of your invites?
More information on the contest can be found here: www.foofightersgaragetour.com/contest

Just how far away is a robbery with a weapon from becoming an attempted murder? And you're gonna waste response time by pulling out a baton, rather than going for a gun (all assuming it's possible--I'm not operating within the "you'll never beat a drawn weapon" axiom)? Then when the guy's intention to murder you does become clear, you have to now draw a second, escalated weapon?
No, thanks.

Would it be possible to improve/add detection of unused images? I know that plugin has option to scan for "Attachment without Post" but it doesn't work for me. I have many authors that are contributing to my blogs many of them upload bunch of images when creating a post but end up using only 1-2 so all the other images are marked as attached to specific post or page in WordPress media-library but they are not actually used. Also WordPress creates different sizes for each image (thumbnail, medium, large…) which leads to image bloat. Would it be possible to make WP CleanFix actually scan the database to see which images has references in the code and which are not and then delete those orphan images.
Thank you

Let's Talk about The Einkorn Cookbook
It technically released over two weeks ago, but here we are, finally, bringing you a post of updates about the book. First thing: There were some shipping delays. A bunch of you who preordered books got yours before Thanksgiving, and another bunch of you waited until last week. We're sorry about that! From what we're seeing on social media, the book is slowly trickling out to the public and we hope you all get yours soon. We also hope you like it. Meanwhile, though, we thought we'd talk a little bit more about the book, what's in it, why you should buy it and what our favorite parts are inside. Ready? OK. Why This Book Is Worth Buying I joked to some girlfriends Tuesday night that I am the world's worst seller. I love using einkorn and yet I will be the last person to try to talk you into it because I feel like things that are truly valuable should speak for themselves. I want you to use einkorn and see how you feel more than I want to talk you into using it. But now that we've gone … [Read more...]
Crisp and Buttery Einkorn Waffles with Aronia Berries
Ah, a leisurely breakfast. Time to make einkorn waffles and put tea in the French press and slice out each little segment of grapefruit one by one. We haven't had a breakfast like this in a while, but Sunday morning I woke up inspired, and the two of us got to sit for a good 15 or 20 minutes before driving in the dreary rain to church. I think that's when this house started to feel like home. We'd just spent the last two days at a relationships/marriage conference at our church, where Paul Tripp talked about the dynamics of one person and another person interacting with one another. He'd told this one story, kind of a moment really, where there are two people driving side by side in bad traffic, the one fuming about how he's going to be late now and traffic is the worst, the other smiling ear to ear while she puts on her makeup. He said something about how it wasn't the traffic that forced a person to be angry because if it were the traffic, then everybody would have to be angry, too, … [Read more...]
Winter Lettuce Salad with Roasted Peppers and Feta
I have to start this post by saying thank you for your comments on the last one. You were all so kind! While we knew it would be fun to share the news about the cookbook, we didn't know it would be that fun. You doubled our joy! You offered to recipe test! I have long believed that blog readers are the unsung heroes of the Internet, the ones who give without expectation, who often listen without being heard, and I want you all to know that we think it's really something. You're really something. Thank you. We hope we can create a book that will truly delight and inspire you and celebrate the beauty of what we have found to be a treasured grain. We hope when you hold copies in your hands next year, you'll know we made this book for you. … [Read more...]
News! and Call for Recipe Testers!
Update, March 2014! We turned in the manuscript last month (hooray!) and so we're no longer in need of recipe testers. Thank you all so much for your interest! We are writing a cookbook, and writing that sentence is both humbling and shocking because it doesn't feel real. We are writing a cookbook. (!!) We are people who delight in food, just like most of you are probably people who delight in food, but truthfully the idea of publishing a cookbook was not something we had planned. As you know, this has been 2013: The Year of House Hunting! And sometimes, 2013: The Year of Unexpected Travel! It's been a year of enormous gifts and real disappointments. It's been a year of settling into marriage, feeling more comfortable in it, then looking at each other and thinking, Hey, can this sweet life be real!? When the opportunity to pitch a cookbook came our way, like so many other providences before it, from a Hawaii honeymoon to a place to live, we didn't quite believe it. In fact, … [Read more...]

The Yankees should sign Naomi Campbell
I love reading the Smoking Gun and hearing about random lawsuits or celebrities in trouble. Today they posted a lawsuit filed by a former employee of Naomi Campbell that said she was "seriously injured" when Naomi threw her BlackBerry and hit her in the head. This led to the maid needing to get four stitches.
Now I have to say… COME ON… Do we even need this to go to court? Just using logic will prove that Campbell is totally innocent. Let's examine four simple facts… (Using discriminatory, sexist, and other generalizations that can only prove I am right.)
1) She is British- British people can't throw… They can toss but they can't throw. There are 5 things we know about the British:
-They can't throw
-They have poor dental care
-They all ride in double decker red buses which drive on the wrong side of the road
-90% of the men are gay, the other 10% are soccer hooligans
-They are the only people that think Mr. Bean is funny
2) The velocity needed to do damage with a blackberry is too great for a model to generate- Due to the fact that models are anorexic and have no physical skills except for walking on a stage, making random poses, and vomiting, Naomi would not have the physical ability to throw the blackberry that hard.
3) She is a female- Girls can't throw. I know there are a lot of girls that play sports here in the United States and they are uber coordinated and can throw but they are the exception to the rule. I don't see Naomi Campbell playing softball in high school (her thighs aren't thick enough).
4) Black women don't throw things, they pull hair or stab- Haven't you watched Springer or one of those dirty prison movies on Cinemax late at night? If you did you would know that black women always pull hair, slap, or stab while in a fight. Also they do the patented move of pulling out earrings which is something that is beyond impressive to see.
So there you have it… I just solved this case in under ten minutes using simple logic and stereotypes.
Do you need me to take care of anything else?

I am newbie to wordpress. I am trying to install multi-site. The problem I have is about adding another site to network. I've installed main wordpress, enabled multi-ste network and everything looks fine. Next I want to add another site, so I go to "Sites" -> Add new then configure path and everything. And here I've got a question. I suppose the sub site should be installed in database with new prefix ('wp2_' or something) or maybe I should just use existing prefix 'wp_'? I've looked in the database, it have created tables with prefix 'wp_2_' by itself and few other tables with prefix 'wp_' for multi blogs configuration. Everything I have in the second site administration page are errors of establishing database connection:
Error establishing database connection
till stuck with this message, then check that your database contains the following tables:
If I look in the database, these tables exist. So I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I can't find any information in the documentation specifically about adding new site, just about configuring multi-site mode.

Another long day at work. The young woman sighed as she pulled over, parking her car along the busy street. [Name] had been overworked so badly for the past few days she hadn't had even had time to plan dinner for this week. Stomach growling, she did the one thing she swore she would never do: she drove up to the nearest fast food restaurant she could find. Normally she'd never eat at any of those places- she'd heard so many stories of poor quality food that she'd vowed never to eat there again. However, that was before she had to work nearly 10 hours straight with only a 10 minute lunch break. Those measly 10 minutes provided barely enough time to walk to the cafeteria then back to her office. Naturally, she hadn't had a bite to eat since an early morning granola bar.
"Seriously, there should be some sort of law against working this hard." [Name] grumbled, much like her stomach.
I need some food now!
Agitated, [Name] parked and stepped out of her car, walking into the dreaded place. She looked around; it was mildly packed, a few people here and there. There was no line to order, so she sighed and stepped up.
"Hey there! May I take your order?"
[Name] looked up at the employee, her hard eyes softening and her semi-permanent frown fading from her face. He appeared to be around her age, and with his bright cerulean eyes and messy, dirty blond hair, [Name] had to admit: this guy was cute. He was basically the definition of an American hunk. He had a big grin etched on his face, something you normally don't see on your average fast food worker. Or your average worker period.
"I'll have a salad, a small fry, and a small soft drink, please." She told him, flashing him a ghost of a smile.
'A salad?' He thought incredulously, shaking his head. Who orders a salad at a fast food restaurant? He had almost forgotten that they even served freaking leaves. It didn't really matter, he supposed; this girl was beautiful!
She paid for her food, and waited in line until he locked eyes with her once more. "Go sit down. I'll give ya your food when it's done~" He winked at her, then went on to help the next customer.
[Name] was stunned. Maybe these places weren't as bad as she'd thought? She went to sit down at a little booth made for two, checking her phone for messages while waiting patiently.
She didn't have to wait long. A moment later, the cute employee came back, holding a small tray with her order.
"If you were a burger at McDonald's, you'd be the McGorgeous!" He chirped as he set down the food in front of [Name]. She smiled a little, that was cute. Incredibly lame, but when he said it, it was cute. He looked away, then stared at the seat across from her. He was practically begging to sit there.
[Name] couldn't help it. It wasn't every day a cute guy started hitting on her.
"Hey, if you've got some time, maybe...would you like to chat for a bit?"
"Sure!" He smiled at her, making himself comfortable in the soft booth. The young man closed his eyes for a second, as though trying to remember something, then clearing his throat.
"Is your name 'swiffer'? Because you just swept me off my feet!"
[Name] couldn't help herself- she groaned aloud. The first line had been kinda cute, but this one was just lame. Was he unable to have a normal conversation? She studied him, her eyes scanning over him. Had she misjudged the handsome employee?
To put it simply, he began to panic. [Name] could see sweat appearing on his forehead and upper lip, and he began to spit out lines faster than a rapper, each one worse than the one before.
"If stars would fall every time I thought of you, the sky would soon be empty."
"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put "U" and "I" together."
"What time do you have to be back in heaven?"
[Name] got up, looking at the server sadly. It appeared he had never talked to a woman before in his life, or he was just plain stupid. Or maybe both.
"I'm sorry, I've got to go-"
"W-Wait! U-Uhm If you were a drink size, you'd be an extra large!"
Hold it.
Stop the show.
What the hell does that mean? Extra large?
[Name] looked down at her body. She was a little curvy, but not overweight or anything. Sure, she had been working so hard lately she hadn't had time to hit the gym, but she thought she still looked pretty good. Obviously he wasn't calling her fat. Unless he really was a jerk. She looked at her chest....Was he really talking about her like that?!
"You pervert!" [Name] yelled, slapping him across the face. Her food long forgotten, she stormed out, got into her car, slammed the door, and drove away.
He looked at the doorway, holding his now-red cheek. "I was talking about the size of your heart." He muttered.
Maybe next time.
Happy almost-Valentine's Day everyone! This was originally part of a series / contest entries I did on Quizilla (so nothing was stolen from anyone) It was all about using pickup lines, hence the reason they're in bold / italics

Given 2 quadratic functions $f$ and $g$, such that $f(x)=ax²+bx+c$ and $g(x)=cx²+bx+a$ and the absolute value of $f(x)$ is less than $1$, for each $x\in[-1,1]$, prove that the absolute value of $g(x)$ is less than $2$, for each $x\in[-1,1]$.
Here is a complete solution; but note that a lot of thinking went into reducing the number of cases to consider.
Multiplying through by $-1$, if necessary, we may assume $a\geq c$, and replacing $x$ by $-x$, if necessary, we may assume $b\geq0$.
We note first that $c=f(0)\geq -1$ and $a+b+c=f(1)\leq 1$, therefore $$a\leq 1 -c-b\leq 2-b\ .\qquad(1)$$
Now $g(x)-f(x)=(a-c)(1-x^2)\geq0$; whence we already now that $g(x)\geq f(x)\geq-1$. If $\arg\max_x g(x)\in\{\pm 1\}$ then for all $x$ we have $g(x)\leq\max g(\pm1)=\max f(\pm1)\leq 1$.
So it remains the case that $\arg\max_x g(x)=:\tau \in\ ]{-1},1[\ $. In this case we have a local maximum at $\tau$, whence necessarily $g'(\tau)=0$ and $c<0$. It follows that $${b\over 2|c|}=\tau<1\ .\qquad (2)$$ Using (1) and (2) we now obtain $$\max_x\ g(x)=g(\tau)= a-{b^2\over 4c}=a+{b^2\over 4|c|} \leq 2 -b +{b\over2}\leq 2\ ,$$ as stated.
The pair $f(x):=2x^2-1$, $\ g(x):=2-x^2$ shows that the proven inequality is sharp.
Your two functions are parabolas. The only way the extreme values are inside of $[-1,1]$ is if the vertex $x_0$ of the parabola satisfies $|x_0|<1$ . Then the maximum is reached at the vertex of the parabola if $a<0$ —parabola opens downwards —and the minimum is reached inside when $a>0$. Otherwise, if the vertex of the parabola is not in $[-1,1]$, i.e., if the x-coordinate satisfies $|x|>1$ ,the maximum values will happen at the boundaries, i.e., at either $x=1$ or at $x=-1$. The case of the parabola opening downwards (when $a<0$) comes down to finding the "standard form" $y-y_0=c(x- x_0)^2$, and determining the values of $x_0$ and $y_0 $. Check what happens to $f'(x)$ left- and right- of the vertex of the parabola.
Otherwise, the extreme values happen at the endpoints $\{-1,1\}$ , so that the extreme values will be $a+b+c$ (at $x=1$), and/or $a-b+c$ (at $x=-1$) unless $a<0$ and, when you express the parabola in standard form, $|x_0|<1$.
So if $a<0$ and $|x_0|<1$ , then $y_0$ is the maximum value; otherwise, the max will be reached at either of the endpoints, and will be either $a+b+c$ , or $a-b+c$

St. Viator (3-1, 1-1) at St. Patrick (3-1, 1-1)
When: 7:30 p.m. today at Hanson Stadium, Chicago
Last week: St. Viator d. Nazareth 34-21; St. Patrick lost to Marian Catholic 49-33
Outlook: St. Viator's secondary will be the primary focus against prolific St. Patrick QB Ryan Tentler, who has thrown for more than 1,100 yards. He threw for 395 yards and 2 TDs in last week's shootout loss where both teams had 500-plus yards of total offense and had 6 TD passes in a rout of Proviso East. "They throw it quick and they throw it on time and that makes it harder for pressure to get to them," said Viator coach Chris Kirkpatrick. "We'll have to be sound and disciplined. We have to be a little more consistent." The Shamrocks, who beat New Trier 28-14 and Nazareth 24-7, have a variety of threats in Dennis Lemke, Guy DiBalsamo and Kevin Furlong. The Lions continued to put points on the board with QB Cameron Korab (711 total yards, 8 TDs), but they will be without DL Anthony Pensa, who tried but was unable to return from a torn ACL and will need surgery. Viator won last year's meeting 52-14 and the two teams have split 16 meetings since 1985.

I am using Grub2 to select between Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I was wondering how I might be able to communicate with Grub2 with a physical switch to tell it which I want. I have plenty of experience with arduino type electronics, is there some way to communicate the state of a switch through a serial to USB connection? Or is there something even more straight forward like say the parallel heads on my motherboard?
Additionally is there a way to have a shortcut on each system that tells the computer to restart and writes to a file that I want it to default boot into the other system. Then when Grub boots up it sees it, clears that file or whatever then boots into that system?

Queenstown residents and businesses have been given a new
choice in the growing competitive fibre broadband market with
the entry of Orcon's ''ultra-fast network''.
Orcon chief executive Greg McAlister said unlimited fibre
stopped squabbles in the home by allowing more people to
stream TV or games at the same time.
''It also removes those awkward flat or family meetings after
you receive a massive bill for smashing your data cap.''
Results from a survey commissioned by Orcon late last year,
show 40% of New Zealand households expected to use more data
in 2014.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Basim Sabri, man behind pro-Abdi Warsame fliers, says he prefers Hitler to Lilligren
Warsame (left) easily defeated the incumbent Lilligren and will become the first Somali on the City Council.
Yesterday, a political action committee associated with Basim Sabri, a controversial developer who has a longstanding beef with Minneapolis City Council member Robert Lilligren, covered the Sixth Ward with fliers smearing Lilligren and urging voters to cast their ballots for Abdi Warsame.
RELATED: Robert Lilligren's campaign accuses Somali challenger of using homophobic tactics
Hours later, it became clear that Warsame had comfortably defeated Lilligren, thereby becoming the first Somali to win election to the City Council (Lilligren, a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe who was first elected in 2001, is the council's first Native American).
Warsame won nearly two-thirds of first-choice votes, compared to just shy of one-third for Lilligren. With a margin that substantial, Warsame was probably headed toward victory even without the last-minute boost from Sabri. Nonetheless, the fliers and Sabri's over-the-top dislike for Lilligren caused quite a stir.
Asked about the fliers by the Star Tribune yesterday, Sabri offered up this response: "Anybody who ran against Lilligren would get my support ... If Hitler ran against Lilligren, I personally will support him."
As you'd imagine in light of comments like that, Warsame is trying to distance himself from Sabri. After we covered the flier fiasco yesterday, Warsame's campaign sent an email with the subject "disgusting campaign tactics." Here's what it says:
It has come to our attention that Basim Sabri and his political action committee, on their own volition, have distributed pamphlets concerning today's election. We firmly denounce these tactics and affirm that the "Vote Warsame for Ward 6" campaign had nothing to do with it. We condemn the pamphlet and we are appalled that Abdi Warsame's name was used on it.
"Vote Warsame For Ward 6" campaign has always run a clean campaign, and the actions of Basim Sabri and his political action committee are disgusting.

text: Shannon and Tristan Rowley, Ohio Posted March 27, 2016 Shannon and Tristan Rowley On February 25, 2015, I started out having what I thought would be a normal day at work. Instead I ended up at the Emergency Room to find that my son, Tristan, had suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. He had received CPR, a shock with a defibrillator, was intubated, and was unresponsive. I rode in a helicopter for the first time in my life as he was life-flighted to Children's Hospital, where we spent the next week getting many tests and then a surgery to implant his cardioverter pacemaker/defibrillator. As he slowly regained consciousness we experienced, first-hand, the effects of a hypoxic brain injury as he was unable to recall even simple things for more that 1-2 minutes at a time, and he would need to be reminded of why he was in the hospital literally a hundred-plus times a day. We were told that there was a 20-50% chance that his neurologic deficits and memory issues would be permanent. At first he needed help going to the bathroom, remembering what day it was and who had visited him less than an hour ago. I wish someone could have told me then that a year later we would be taking him out to dinner, that we'd be discussing plans for his graduation party and that he'd be working on practice tests to help him prepare to take his computer networking certification exams. February 25, 2015, was the worst and the best day of my life. Only 5-6% of people who suffer a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital survive. We are incredibly lucky and so, so happy that he survived. The truth is that the ONLY reason Tristan is alive is because he was in the right place at the right time and with the right people. Those people knew CPR and how to use an AED. Those people were his teachers, as well as a fellow student, who had also learned CPR. The only reason he remains neurologically intact is because he received CPR and defibrillation quickly by trained individuals. Tristan's story is a perfect example of why we should be educating our young people on how to help save lives! --Shannon Rowley P.S. Learn CPR!!

The problem is, if I change the word value manually like value="111", I can see the value is being posted to PHP. However, when I want it to post whatever I write into textarea, it posts nothing, so the problem lies in the onSubmit area.
Can anybody help me about this?
