This was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase 3B study of the combination lenalidomide plus pulse high-dose dexamethasone.
This study (CC-5013-MM-019) was set up and executed primarily as an expanded access program in Germany.
Screening procedures were to take place within 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (baseline) with the exception of hematology assessments that were to be performed within 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Randomization, blinding, and stratification were not applied in this open-label single-arm study.
Eligible subjects given open-label treatment and received treatment with lenalidomide plus high-dose dexamethasone in 28-day cycles.
Lenalidomide (hard capsules) was to be administered orally (PO) at a dose of 25 mg daily (QD) for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle. According to the protocol, accrual of subjects to the study was to be terminated within 2 months of commercial availability of lenalidomide for this indication in Germany.
Upon discontinuation from study, minimal information was collected in order to identify when disease progressed.

|Actual Study Completion Date :
|August 2009
Experimental: lenalidomide plus dexamethasone
Lenalidomide administered orally, 25 mg daily (QD) for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle. Pulse dexamethasone administered orally, 40 mg daily on Days 1-4, 9-12, and 17-20 for each 28-day cycle during Cycles 1 to 4 (approximately months 1-4). Beginning with Cycle 5 (approximately month 5), dexamethasone was to be reduced to 40 mg QD for Days 1-4 of each 28 day-cycle.
Drug: Lenalidomide
Oral lenalidomide at a dose of 25 mg daily for 21 days every 28 days. Treatment as tolerated until disease progression.
Other Name: Revlimid®
Drug: dexamethasone
Oral pulse dexamethasone at a dose of 40 mg daily on days 1-4, 9-12, and 17-20 for each 28-day-cycle for cycles 1 through 4 (approximately months 1-4). Beginning cycle 5 (approximately month 5) dexamethasone is reduced to 40 mg daily for days 1-4 every 28 days.
- Kaplan Meier Estimate for Time to Disease Progression [ Time Frame: up to 827 days ]
Time to disease progression (TTP) was based on the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) myeloma response determination criteria developed by Bladé (Bladé, 1998). TTP is a Kaplan Meier estimate of the time from randomization to the first documentation of progressive disease.
Progressive disease based on increasing monoclonal paraprotein levels require a confirmatory value one week apart. Disease progression can also be based on bone marrow findings, worsening lytic bone disease, progressively enlarging extramedullary plasmacytomas, or hypercalcemia.
- Participant's Best Overall Response Based on the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Myeloma Response Criteria [ Time Frame: Up to 827 days ]
Best overall response was calculated as the best assessment from all cycles (including treatment discontinuation visit) and follow-up. The response rate was summarized as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progression (PD), response not evaluable, and derived categories (PR+CR) and (PR+CR+SD).
CR is negative immunofixation on both serum and urine maintained for 6 weeks straight. PR is a 50% decrease in serum paraprotein maintained for 6 weeks straight. SD is serum paraprotein values within 25% of baseline.
- Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Experiences (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: up to 8 months ]
Counts of study participants who had treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) defined as any reported AE that started on or after the first day of study drug dosing. A participant with multiple occurrences of an adverse event within a category is counted only once in that category.
National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE version 3.0) was used by investigators to assess TEAEs. Severity scale ranges from 0 (none) to 5 (death). Grade 3=severe AE; Grade 4=life threatening or disabling AE; Grade 5=death.
- Time to Partial Response Based on the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Myeloma Response Determination Criteria [ Time Frame: up to 827 days ]Time to partial response is the time from randomization to a 50% decrease in serum paraprotein maintained for six weeks straight. This was determined by free light chain concentrations which were taken every two weeks during the treatment phase of the trial.

The Farmer's Wife
Publisher Description
" . . . a remarkable glimpse into the many relationships people experience in their lives as husbands and wives, parents, children, siblings, friends and lovers." Romantic Times
The secret they've kept can either bring them together or tear them apart.
Youngest sibling and only sister, Kim Luchetti returns to the Illinois family farm after her father's heart attack. Eight years ago she vowed never to return, believing only distance would allow her to forget the tragedy that broke her heart. Returning means she must face everyone's questions, including those of her first love, Brian Riley, the only one who knows her secret.
Brian has always loved Kim, despite his hurt and anger over her having abandoned him when he needed her the most. When she appears at his farm, surprise causes him to tumble off the barn roof and break both of his wrists. Kim's guilt makes her agree to stay and help him until he is healed.
Living in such close proximity forces Kim and Brian to face the past and their unresolved feelings. Will talking about what happened help them heal? Or will the memories of their heartbreak keep them apart forever?
The Farmer's Wife is the first book in the six book Luchettis Series by New York Times Best Selling author Lori Handeland. If you enjoy Kristan Higgins and Robyn Carr download The Farmer's Wife today!

Location: Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, CA
Operator of Vehicle: Amtrak
Date of Photo: July 17, 2014
Amtrak turns 46 years old today. It was on this date in 1971 that Amtrak took over the passenger train operations of privately owned railroads that were still offering passenger service at the time. Today, when most people think of Amtrak, I suspect they picture the electric hauled Northeast Regional and Acela Express services that operate in the Washington-New York-Boston corridor. Some might think of long distance trains crossing the country such as the Empire Builder, California Zephyr, and City of New Orleans, which are lifelines for many of the communities that they serve. But Amtrak also operates in a number of regional corridors around the country, and the Pacific Surfliner service between San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Luis Obispo, California is one of those services. The F59PHI engine featured in this month's rail photo of the month is one of 15 painted in the Pacific Surfliner's unique livery. And yes, those palm trees are real, you can take an Amtrak train through Southern California and see them for yourself. In other words, the not so scenic Northeast Corridor isn't all that Amtrak has to offer. Ride a long distance Amtrak train when you get the chance!

Mar 20 - CRRA Policy Workshop Targets ADC to reduce GHG Emissions The Consensus: ADC is Major Barrier to Compost Infrastructure
The title of yesterday's CRRA Policy Workshop was "Reducing Greenhouse Gases Through Composting Organics." A host of speakers, including myself, covered a range of topics including GHG reductions through composting, barriers to composting, AB 32 policy and processes, and the CA organics infrastructure. An overwhelming emphasis was placed on ADC as a barrier to expanding composting in California.
Banning ADC is nothing new of course, as ADC has long been identified as a barrier to organics recycling. The question remains, what to do about it?
Despite a sustained effort, environmental groups including CAW have been unsuccessful in moving anti-ADC legislation. For the last two years we have been unable to move modest legislation to slowly phase out the diversion credit for greenwaste ADC, let alone get an ADC ban passed.
As we try to increase composting in California for all the benefits it bestows upon us, we have to focus doing what is practical that moves us in the right direction. Where should we focus? The following three steps are critical and will lay the groundwork for expanding composting in California:
1. The CIMWB simply must reconsider its position on ADC. The CIWMB's failure to identify ADC as a major barrier to recycling organics in the state is perhaps one of its greatest failures. The CIWMB simply must abandon its business as usual attitude toward ADC and become a champion for the eventual phase out of diversion credit for ADC.
2. The numerous other barriers to composting, including local permitting, Air District Rules, and Water Board Permits must be organized so resources can be developed to deliver coordinated responses
3. Finally, Composting needs increased market development. This includes a comprehensive itemization of the economic and environmental co-benefits of composting, the development of the idea of composting as a mitigation measure for air (GHG and other) and water pollution to be included as BMPs in agricultural and industrial practices, product development in terms of specifications for the widest possible array of applications, and finally, a true marketing campaign appropriate for the product and application.
Anybody ready?

Believe me... it is pretty cool
I just learned about the Beer Camp this evening. This is pretty cool. I had never heard of it, but I was probably ignorant of it being that I'm in the Midwest. A local bar had the 3 releases of the beer camp recipes in bottles. I had the IPA first, which is hopped with cascade in citra. It was good, but not great. It was too malty for my liking for an IPA. The Belgian Black IPA was the third that I tried. It was interesting. Belgian yeast and the hop showcase was Nelson Sauvin and Sarachi Ace. The imperial red was the second I tried and it was STELLAR! It was one of the best imperial reds that I have tried! That's saying a lot since Great lakes Nosferatu is on tap now. It isn't as hoppy as Nosferatu, but man was it good.Aside from the beers, I think this is a pretty cool thing that they have going on at Sierra Nevada.
Yeah, I told Denny and Mike to drop everything they were doing and GO! I think that they now agree.

Score of the Week
Hello Lovers!!
I can't believe this is the last day of March!!!! Since it is Friday, there are some good sales going on. Since I am all about sharing, wanted to share this great deal from Lane Bryant. Currently, apparel is buy one get one 50%. If you are like me, and have not used your Real Women Dollars, then you are in luck. You can use both to score!!! Since I have been all about their super cute Gingham pieces, I was able to get this clutch and dress for $55!!!
The Gingham Fit & Flare dress has been on my list, and this is the best time to go ahead and purchase. I also like printed clutches, so the Gingham Clutch would be fun to mix and match with other items in my wardrobe.
The dress originally priced is $79.95 and the clutch is $49.95. So with the BOGO and RWD, you are saving over 50%!! Easter is only two weeks away, so this is a great time to get that dress or item you have been eyeing.
Found some other deals online or in store, let me know in the comments!!!

More changes, same game
So my last post made it seem that I would be moving back into engineering. I have every intention of fulfilling my new job position and break out my code editor once again. However, after two month of 'transitioning' I started to wonder when the full monty was going to happen. Long story short, the transition to the new job was kaboshed, killed, denied… I am not sure if I would have found out had I not inquired, but regardless, I am back to working with clients again and architecting solutions. I am still gainfully employed, so you won't hear me complain.
I am still working on my Javascript games. It is turning out to be more difficult than I anticipated thought. I am moved to use CraftyJS, which is a component based framework. My object oriented background is clashing severely with this new method and I have had to relearn many basic techniques with component based programming. Nothing new to show, I am hoping for a rush of free time when I am done with graduate school to be able to pick up a lot of my old programming projects. Oh, and if you are planning on doing any sort of Javascript or web programming with HTML, CSS, or PHP I highly recommend Aptana. It has really come a long way.

Florence is a gem of a Renaissance city, and we have been taking full advantage of its rich art and culture. Some of the best art can be found in the church, such as the Santa Felicità church near the Ponte Vecchio, where the painter Pontormo did a splendid representation of the Deposition. We stood in awe before it--and appreciated the opportunity to escape Florence's blazing hot summer sun! Other highlights have included the Galleria Accademia, where Michelangelo's David towers in majestic glory; the Bargello Museum, where a multitude of Renaissance sculptures can be found; and a tour of Florence's "Last Supper" paintings. There is so much to see!
On a day trip to the medieval city of Siena, we wound through the narrow streets towards the Campo, the historic and well-photographed main piazza. From there, we ascended the Torre del Mangia, the incredible bell-tower (all 400 steps of it!), and toured the Duomo, or the cathedral, where the students put their Latin to the test by reading the inscriptions.
Of course, every day we consume our fair share of gelato because, "Paese che vai, usanza che trovi," which is the Italian way of saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!" Well, we're close enough! Ciao for now :)

Hello lovelies! I'm so excited. If you read my post about Apple Cider Vinegar then you'll know I've been having some skin problems lately. Since then I've had a bit of a Body Shop haul and picked up a few goodies to try out!
The first thing that caught my eye was the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser (£5.00). I'd previously purchased this as part of a set and decided to revisit it as everyone deserves second chances right? This face wash comes out as a foam cleanser and feels really light on my skin. I like the idea of a natural cleanser and I feel that it does do the job. Plus it removes all my makeup including stubborn mascara which is always a bonus.
Now this is the product that has me so excited. This is the Tea Tree Face Mask (£10.00). I usually buy face masks and forget I have them so I don't get to fully appreciate the results. I certainly haven't forgotten about this mask, to tell you the truth I've had it on everyday! The mask is a lovely green colour and stays moist on your face. My little boy actually thinks I'm the grinch when wearing this. Since using this mask in conjunction with the other products my skin is less oily and I can't even describe how much clearer my skin is. I'm going to keep using it everyday until I get rid of the last few blemishes and then I'll cut it down to maybe once a week.
Last but not least is the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion (£3.00). I love lotions but I have to be careful incase they block my pores. This moisturiser feels really light on my skin and doesn't leave me feeling greasy straight away like most moisturisers. I think this product is working really well alongside the others so I'm going to stick at it.
I'd advise getting a Body Shop store card as I always tend to make massive savings on products when I use it. I'm so happy about this progress and I hope this helps others who read this.
I'd love to hear what your top skin care products are!

Let the Fire fall, let the Wind blow...
...let Your glory come down.
The new Firewind Productions is just a little different. Of course, it's been just a little different from the very beginning, but we have set out to be a unique resource for unique people and unique organizations. Here are some of the ways in which we are different from any other creative firm.
We value you, your gifts, and your passion over your ability to pay for our services.
It's been a very poorly kept secret that Firewind has sponsored or even donated services for a number of worthy individuals, ministries, and other causes over the years. This is less of a business than it is a ministry. It's been that way from the beginning, but now that we are relaunching under our new vision that distinction has never been more important.
We have discounted all of our services for Christian creatives and provide sponsorship credits for ministries as we are led.
All of our service packages are heavily discounted for Christian authors, creatives, ministries, churches, and businesses. If you are interested in a sponsorship for our services, tell us what you are passionate about. Tell us all about your big idea and your dreams. We will pray for you and pray over ways that we can help you in your endeavors. We believe that if God is behind what you are doing and we are supposed to come alongside you, he will supply your needs and our needs.
We have created an easy way for you to sponsor other Christian creatives.
We are in the process of setting up a special new donation section where you can earmark donations toward services we are providing for other Christian authors, creatives, ministries, churches, and businesses. You'll soon be able to browse through a section introducing you to the remarkable people we're currently working with so that you can find out how you can help them with their vision. All donations will be under the oversight of our trustees.
When you pay us for our services, we make a donation to our home church before we pay ourselves.
We believe that God created the vision for Firewind Productions so that we can help the Church, and so we are making a concrete step toward doing that on a local level as well as on an international level. Moving forward, 10% of all of our service fees will be donated to our home church, River City Church of Lewiston, Idaho, where they are distributed to partner ministries all over the globe. For more information about River City Church and our global partners, click here.
We would be honored to pray for you.
We pray for each of our clients and the success of their endeavors. We've set up a special section where you can send us your prayer needs. Our team will pray for you at least once a week.
Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks as we reveal more of the bright new vision behind Firewind Productions!

Fresh Raspberry Margaritas
Why This Recipe Works
The best margarita recipe would produce a drink with a balanced blend of fresh citrus flavors and tequila. We discovered the correct proportions (equal parts juice, orange liqueur, and tequila) for the best balance. The right alcohol (Triple Sec and a resposado tequila, made from 100 percent blue agave) gave our margarita recipe a mellow, delicate flavor. And the best citrus mix (lemon and lime zest steeped in their juices) gave it a deep, refreshing citrus flavor.

We have great news. Monsanto has suffered a huge blow in the battle for our food supply and our genetic purity. Specifically Monsanto has now lost $156 million in Q4 of 2014 and this comes down to a few different business reasons.
Due to relentless activism Monsanto is being exposed as probably the most corrupt corporation in the world and certainly one of the most hated. Smart investors have realised that Monsanto is tanking and that any association can bring only a negative return on investment.
If the trend of Monsanto losing money continues at this rate then we can all hope to see the GM giant corporation crumble in the near future.

The discovery of stainless steel in 1912
In 1912 Friedrich Krupp AG filed a patent for a steel grade with high corrosion resistance. The chromium-nickel alloy needs a special heat treatment to develop its corrosion resistance, however it is cheap to produce and easy to machine.
In 1960 the trademark "Edelstahl rostfrei" was registered in Germany. Until then however, production of stainless steel was very low at around 2.2 million tons per year. Only after the discovery of new applications in the sixties, for example in household appliances, production started to rise. In 2011 the production of stainless steel reached 32 million tons.
Today the most important applications of stainless steel are in the production of medical instruments and household appliances. The Chrysler building provides a good example of the high durability of stainless steel. The roofing shingles did not have to be replaced since 1930. At the Burj Khalifa in Dubai stainless steel was used for parts of the façade.
The underlying principles of stainless
Stainless steel contains chromium which reacts with oxygen in the air to form a protective chromium oxide layer on the surface. This effect is called passivation and can also be observed in aluminium and magnesium.
To achieve passivation, the proportion of chromium in the alloy must be above 10.5%. A high amount of chromium leads to bad machining properties and high hardness. Nickel is added to reduce these unwanted effects.
Machining and processing can be difficult
Machining of stainless steel is similar to machining of standard construction steel. It is important however, to prevent contact with other less noble metals. When stainless steel comes into contact with iron oxide, the passivation can be inhibited, leading to corrosion of stainless steel.
Originally the width of stainless steel coils was limited due to the high deformation energy needed to roll wide sheets. With the introduction 20-high sendzimir mill clusters it became possible to roll sheets with widths above 1500mm.
INTERSTAHL offers many services for stainless steel. We can deliver many grades from stock and also offer machining.

Something is wrong with the crucifix. Hanging in the tiny church in a Virginia country town, it distresses the new pastor. The wooden corpus, Monsignor Vincent Shepherd observes, has "square, unsuffering eyes" that symbolize to the priest so much that is wrong with his church and his world. The sense of crucifixion is gone. Instead, he reflects, "it was as if Christ had never really suffered and died, but had only had the Last Supper, with twelve smiling men of social commitment and three folk guitarists, and then...

Dr. Sears Comments:
Asking the NFL to fund truly independent studies on brain trauma injury is similar to asking the smoking industry to fund truly independent studies on smoking. You can always find some researcher to tell you exactly what you want to hear which is "the question requires more research" so they can kick the can down the road as they continue to make money. I am sure that Roger Goodell has a personal copy of "Thank for Smoking" in his personal video library.

Adapted from Living God's Word by Waylon Moore
Once I had the opportunity to lead the music for revival services at the church my cousin pastored in Pearland, Texas.
Something happened that week that changed my life!
For our first visit during the revival, we went to pray with the Johnsons. A few months earlier the Johnsons' daughter had died in childbirth, leaving a healthy new baby, a toddler, a devastated husband, and her parents. Mr. Johnson was the deacon chairman at the church my cousin pastored. Mrs. Johnson was very ill, out of touch with reality.
As we drove, my cousin told me that the Johnsons were on edge, waiting for a bed in a mental hospital for Mrs. Johnson. He warned me, "Just act natural — no matter what Mrs. Johnson does."
I got scared.
When we were inside the house, Mrs. Johnson walked into the room toward me. Dressed in a housecoat, she looked dazed and heavily medicated. She grabbed me by the shoulder. Her voice was monotone and pathetic.
"Look—at—my—daughter.— Isn't—she—beautiful?" She showed me a photo of her daughter's body in a casket. A picture of a casket? I tried to pull away. "Look—at—my—daughter." She stared me in the eyes until I felt forced to take the photo.
"Uh, that's a nice colored photo," I stumbled to find words. Mrs. Johnson kept holding on to me as my cousin began to pray for her. Afterward, Mr. Johnson lovingly held her, and we quietly excused ourselves and left.
To get the impact of what happened next, you need to know where I was in my journey with God at that point in my life. I had been concentrating on making my time with God more practical. I had asked ministers what it means to meditate on Scripture, and I had read biographies of men of God who did this. Through study I began to formulate steps to meditate on Scripture.
Followers of Eastern religions and New Age cults practice a mindless form of meditation in an effort to discover what they believe to be a divinity that lies hidden within themselves. Christian meditation, however, is neither mindless nor self-centered. Meditation is reflective thinking with a view to application. You think about God's ways and align your heart with His will and purpose.
The Greek word for meditate means to attend. 1 The Greek requires reading with attention to what the Scripture really says. Meditation opens Scripture the way a knife splits a watermelon.
I have learned that meditation can be done in five steps, each including a word that begins with the letter P.
- Understand the Perimeter of the verse.
- Paraphrase the verse.
- Pulverize the verse.
- Personalize the verse.
- Pray the verse into your life.
Step 1: Understand the Perimeter of the Verse
Look at the perimeter of the verse as you meditate. The meaning of a verse is colored and revealed by the verses that surround it. We can compare this step to a hamburger. The "meat" is the verse you choose for meditation. Surrounding the meat patty is the context — sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a bun!
You can eat a burger without the fixings, but who wants to? In the same way, you can study a verse without taking into account its context. But if you miss the meaning of the perimeter, you will lose the verse's flavor and perspective.
That night in Pearland I was meditating — using the five steps of meditation — on 1 Peter 5:7, which I had memorized.
I was examining it in light of its context or understanding the perimeter. When I read 1 Peter 5:7 for the first time within its perimeter — its context — I was astonished by the link between verses 7 and 8: "Casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
Why were these two verses placed together? God showed me a cause-effect relationship between casting burdens on the Lord and escaping the lion, Satan. Here's what God's Holy Spirit showed me:cast all your anxiety or get eaten alive!
Just then my thoughts turned to Mrs. Johnson. The weight of losing her daughter had overwhelmed her. That photo symbolized a burden she couldn't or wouldn't cast away. What would happen if she, by faith, gave her daughter to God, surrendering the right to have her on earth?
I'd never dealt with a situation like this before but was captivated by this Scripture. I had to call my cousin. He arranged for an appointment with the Johnson family the next morning. We arrived at the house, a sleepy music director and a pastor. I'd stayed up half the night praying.
As we came into the room, Mrs. Johnson again showed me the photo and grabbed my arm. "Let's sit down, Mrs. Johnson," I suggested. I communicated my sympathy. Then I acted on what I'd learned from meditating: "Mrs. Johnson, your daughter trusted in Christ. She was never in that casket. The Bible says, 'To be absent from the body . . . [is] to be at home with the Lord' in 2 Corinthians 5:8. She's with Jesus, but you're trying to keep her here. Let's pray, and you give your precious girl to the Lord."
Mrs. Johnson moaned and began to cry. I led her in a prayer thanking the Lord that her daughter was with Him in heaven and releasing her to His care. Mr. Johnson prayed, too, and then the pastor.
Then Mrs. Johnson stood up and looked around. She spoke with more focus as she declared, "I feel different." Her eyes seemed clear. The pastor said, "I believe that God has brought health to our sister."
I was dazed. Had God healed this woman? I regularly checked on Mrs. Johnson over the next year. She recovered and was caring for her grandchildren. She had fully cast her care on the Lord!
If you understand the perimeter as you meditate on Scripture, verses will jump off the pages of your Bible into the clay of your life.
Beyond Bible Reading
Meditation is reflective thinking with a view to living God's will as revealed in Scripture. God Himself invented the discipline of meditation. Unfortunately, Eastern religions have cleverly exported their brand of it, so that many Christians shy away from meditating on the Word. Biblical meditation is not clearing the mind of thought, as some religions teach. Our Teacher is the Holy Spirit. In meditation God's Spirit leads us to focus our minds on the living Lord revealed in the Word.
Meditation is as different from Bible reading as a one-way side street is from an eight-lane freeway. Reading is a one-way street, whereas meditation involves "two-way traffic." 2 You encounter the living God, hearing His voice and learning from Him. At the same time, you respond to Him in prayer. Meditation's goal is a oneness with the living Lord.
God considers meditation so important that He commands us to do it.
In the original Hebrew, one word for meditate in Scripture is hagah. The word is first found in Joshua 1:8. The word means to murmur (in pleasure or anger), to ponder, or to imagine.
Moses, Joshua's predecessor, was leaving. He would not be on earth much longer to coach Joshua in his new and overwhelming position. After 40 years Moses knew the job well — so well, in fact, that he understood the spiritual stamina needed to be a successful leader. Moses was saying: "Joshua, day and night you must read, ponder, and apply God's Word. You must get continual guidance from your Boss, the God of the universe."
Another classic passage using hagah is Psalm 1:2, 3. Read the Perimeter (context) of these verses in Psalm 1.
A second Hebrew word translated meditate is sîyach, meaning to ponder, to converse with oneself, to muse, or to pray. 4 The word is first used in Psalm 119:15.
Other synonyms for meditate are think, commune, consider, and remember. Mary, Jesus' mother, is particularly noted in Scripture for her thoughtful meditation on God's Word and ways: "Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart." (Luke 2:19).
Andrew Murray, a missionary-pastor and the writer of more than 20 devotional books, says that a primary goal of meditation is nourishing the heart: "It is in meditation that the heart holds and appropriates the Word. . . . The intellect gathers and prepares the food upon which we are to feed. In meditation the heart takes it in and feeds on it." 5
Step 2: Paraphrase the Verse
Let's learn and practice the next meditation step. After understanding the verse's context, the perimeter, we need to paraphrase it. In this step God plugs His Word into the socket of your life.Paraphrase means to put in your own words. Say it; then write it down. Try to keep the paraphrase about the same number of lines as the version in your Bible.
I wrote 1 Peter 5:7 in my heart-language: "Give every problem to God. He loves you and will carry every load." Each person's paraphrase will be different. You can receive great insights as you and your friends or group members share your paraphrases. Try it with other verses.
The Process of Pulverizing
Multiple blessings are gained from Scripture meditation. Let's look at three significant ones.
Feeding the Soul
One of God's unusual men of faith was George Müller, who lived in England during the 1800s. Müller believed that God would lead hundreds of lost souls to Christ. Furthermore, without publicizing his needs, Müller prayed for money to feed over three thousand orphans in homes operated by his ministry. Over a period of 40 years and without a public request for help, God led people to send millions of dollars in response to Müller's believing prayer.
Entries in George Müller's diary, dated May 9, 1841, emphasize a breakthrough he experienced through Scripture meditation:
It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord . . . not how much I might serve the Lord, . . . but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. For I might seek to set the truth before the unconverted, I might seek to benefit believers . . . and yet, not being happy in the Lord, and not being nourished and strengthened in my inner man day by day, all this might not be attended to in a right spirit. Before this time my practice had been . . . to give myself to prayer after having dressed myself in the morning. Now, I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God, and to meditation on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed; and that thus, by means of the Word of God, whilst meditating on it, my heart might be brought into experimental communion with the Lord. 6
Müller meditated in order to have a happy, well-fed soul.
Comforting the Soul
David, the shepherd-king, punctuated his songs with insights about meditation's power over pain, crisis, and insecurity. Meditate on God's Word —
- when facing opposition (see Psalm 119:42, 97, 98 )
- when dealing with oppression (see Psalm 119:78 )
- in times of crisis (see Psalm 119:23, 148 )
- to win over depression (see Psalm 77:11, 12 )
- when seeking God's will (see Psalm 119:10, 15 )
- to boost confidence (see Psalm 63:5-11 )
- when longing to please God (see Psalm 19:14; Psalm 104:34 )
Providing Spiritual Success
A further great value is found in the discipline of meditation. Prosperity and success are God's promised rewards (see Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2, 3; 1 Timothy 4:15 ). Notice this promise spelled out in Joshua 1:8: "'Meditate on it day and night, . . . for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.'" Successful people are those who learn to apply God's wondrous wisdom.
Step 3: Pulverize the Verse
We've gone from understanding the perimeter (the larger context) of the verse to paraphrasing the verse. The next step is to pulverize the verse, looking at its individual words. Pulverizing involves a threefold process:
- Say the verse aloud. First say the entire verse aloud to yourself. Emphasize a different word each time you slowly quote it. Notice the relationship of each word to the other words and to the verse's entirety. Each word has the value of a pearl in an expensive necklace. You're looking at a string of pearls, one precious pearl at a time. See how each pearl (word) adds beauty and symmetry to the whole necklace (verse). Listen to God's Word as you read or quote it. When God speaks and we listen, He has our hearts. Action follows as we do His will and tell others about our experiences with Him.
- Choose one or two key words. Three or four words may be significant in the verse, but choose the one or two that seem most important to you. Your goal is to discover God's will for you about the truth of the verse. Like a medical doctor who doesn't give everyone in the waiting room the same pill, the Holy Spirit leads different people to choose from a number of key words in each verse.
- Ask questions about one of the key words. Think of the way a cow chews its cud. Up from its first stomach comes the partly digested food to be chewed again. Meditating on Scripture allows you to chew the meat and bread of the Word, digesting it into spiritual muscle and power. The Word becomes flesh! (see John 1:14 ) By asking questions, you chew an idea over and over to get maximal benefit from it.
- In this final step you bombard the key word or words with questions that cry out for answers. Make these six penetrating words your friends for all methods of Bible study: who, what, when, where, why, and how. Sometimes the answer to your posed question is not in the verse or even in the chapter. That's no problem. Search other Scriptures for answers. A Chinese proverb says, "When the pupil is ready, the teacher will come." Asking questions gets you ready to want an answer. The process of questioning generates a seeking heart. The right questions can penetrate your foggy familiarity with certain passages and stories from the Bible. Realizing how little you know is humbling, and asking questions reveals the depth of your emptiness. The Holy Spirit will implant new insights and joyous opportunities to make the verse live in you! Furthermore, asking questions is an indispensable key to learning. With men I mentor, I sometimes suggest that they write 25 questions about a verse before our next time together. Then we discuss the verse in light of their questions. Illumination begins.
Meditation takes what may look like a simple picnic lunch and reveals the multiple courses of an extravagant banquet. Appetizers, soups, salads, breads, vegetables, steak, poultry, fish, and desserts appear from the picnic basket of a single verse.
What a feast!
Step 4: Personalize the Verse
The fourth meditation step is to personalize the verse. Pray for wisdom to make it flesh and blood. The goal of all study is application. Don't stop with a nice idea or an interesting concept. Activate the idea!
Have you ever tried to give a problem to God, but it came back like a boomerang or a yo-yo? In prayer I've thrown my burden onto the Lord, and it returned in 15 minutes! How is it possible to break the cycle of worry?
Let me tell you what I've discovered: Ask God to show you a promise from Scripture about that burden. God will relate a specific promise from His Word to the anxiety you're facing. It may take time, but God will show you. After He shows you His Word, link your burden to the Father's love and faithfulness. Claim the verse by faith. Every time the anxiety comes, reaffirm His promise by praying the verse. Think of this process as carpenter's glue. Glue the promise to the problem! Say it aloud: glue the promise to the problem. Believing the verse the Lord gives you will literally overwhelm the problem with that promise.
I remember when I felt overwhelmed — with a problem, not a promise! Getting off the plane after burying my mother, I was told that my wife's surgery for a benign tumor was more complicated than expected: cancer! A flood of fearful thoughts rushed in. I had just lost my precious mom. Now would I lose the dearest person on earth to me?
In Clemmie's hospital room the Lord whispered: "I love and care for Clemmie. Give her to Me." Through my tears I fought to place her in God's loving hands. God met us powerfully in the weeks of pain and healing that followed. Within a 20-year span Clemmie had two more cancer surgeries. We've claimed the Word, and by faith we've grasped God's strong hands as He has affirmed, "'I have loved you with an everlasting love' " in Jerimiah 31:3. We've cast ourselves on Him.
The promise in 1 Peter 5:7 is "He cares for you." What need in your life is God speaking to? Make a plan to live this Scripture in a specific way as you glue this verse to one anxiety (person, problem, or pressure).
Step 5: Pray the Verse into Your Life by Putting Yourself in the Verse
The fifth step is to pray the verse back to God, putting your name and circumstance in the verse. For example, when Clemmie was diagnosed with cancer, I prayed: "Father, thank You for wanting to carry my load. By faith, not feeling, I now give Clemmie and her cancer to You. Please carry her as You promised. I know that You care for her and for me as my heart is breaking. Thank You for holding Clemmie in Your strong hands." Satan is the great discourager. The Holy Spirit is the great encourager, His burden is light.
Meditation, then, is reflective thinking on God's Word and ways, with a view to application. Through this discipline you align your life with God's will and purpose as you seek to become a mature follower of Jesus Christ.

This independent film by Jon and Andrew Erwin, in association with Provident Films (Courageous), American Family Films, and Samuel Goldwyn Films, tells the tale of young Hannah Lawson (Rachel Hendrix). After a dangerous collapse onstage during her collegiate theatrical debut, Hannah learns that her lifelong struggle with multiple physical ailments is the result of her difficult birth. The reason? She is the survivor of a botched abortion.
As Hannah learns for the first time that she is adopted, she feels betrayed, because although her adoptive parents are loving, they never told her of the adoption. Additionally, Hannah's discovery compounds the previously unexplained feelings of despair, loneliness, and rejection that have plagued her for some time. In an act of anger and rebellion, she then defies the wish of her father (John Schneider) that she not accompany a group of friends on their spring break trip to New Orleans, and embarks not only on a seemingly fun-filled road trip, but on her own journey of finding answers about her past.
Her lifelong friend Jason (Jason Burkey) suggests she take the opportunity to detour to Mobile, Alabama, where she was born. After a dead end or two, she finds the nurse, Mary (Jasmine Guy), who was present with her birth mother, Cindy (Shari Rigby), during the attempted abortion, and who was partly responsible for Hannah's survival. Mary, too, as a participant in the action, carried lifelong scars from the incident and never returned to nursing. Jasmine Guy's performance as Mary was almost the best of all — she was outstanding. Mary tells Hannah that her mother is still in Mobile, and Hannah finds her.
Predictably, Mr. Lawson shows up in Mobile to take his daughter home. Hannah's anger and confusion have caused family strife, and she is frustrated that her Mobile trip didn't provide the answers she needed. Eventually, though, this troubled young woman finds healing in God, and with the aid of a kindly priest, learns that forgiveness is not only abundantly offered by the Lord, but is an action she must take to recover her life and heal the troubled relationship with her adoptive parents.
Four decades after Roe v. Wade, the world is beginning to acknowledge that abortion is not only not the answer, but is the cause of untold numbers of additional problems. News accounts abound of woes encountered by post-abortive mothers, survivors of "failed" abortions, families of victims, troubled nurses, and post-abortive fathers who were uninformed about decisions to end their children's lives. October Baby attempts to deal with just a few of those issues, and offers viewers the promise of forgiveness and healing only to be found in a strong relationship with the Creator and in lives of righteousness.
Because of this important message and the wonderful performances by the actors, however, this movie overcomes what could have been a sappy foray into an unbelievable storyline. The production values were excellent, but, with the exception of Hannah, her father, Jason and a surprise performance by Shari Rigby as Hannah's birth mother, the characters could have been more developed, thus providing additional depth to the story. The road trip sequence in which Hannah and her friends head for New Orleans suffered from poor pacing, and their carefree adventures seemed to be added almost as afterthoughts. That said, all of this is rescued by the timeliness of "the moral of the story": forgiveness, healing, faith, and strength. It was announced that 10 percent of the movie's profits are to be donated to the Every Life is Beautiful Fund. Producer/co-director Jon Erwin said, "We feel that it's very important to use October Baby as an opportunity to serve, give back, and save lives. That's what we want the Every Life Is Beautiful Fund to be about!"
Spoiler alert: If you see this movie, stay for the credits, for that is where the real gem is found. As they begin to roll, an on-screen interview appears with Shari Rigby, who portrays Cindy, Hannah's birth mother. At the showing this reviewer attended, the mad rush to the exit was halted as every ear was riveted to the touching interview. Ms. Rigby told how making this movie helped her overcome a devastating and haunting real-life experience.
October Baby is the latest pro-life film to grace the screen. In fact, John Schneider also starred in Doonby, another tale about the value of life and the consequences of bad choices. Doonby, like October Baby, had a limited release earlier this year, and even earned the praise of the Vatican for its powerful message. Doonby also stars Norma McCorvey, the real-life Jane Roe of the infamous Roe v. Wade case, who later recanted her "pro-choice" views and now bravely champions the rights of the unborn.
Actions have consequences. And many in modern-day America have severely damaged women by implying that they don't. Movies such as October Baby do a great service by telling the truth: that choices do matter, and that we must be accountable. It's about time.

This photobook details the journey from the early days of Mighty Oaks, on to big stages, and into the studio for the creation of the second album, Dreamers.
Based out of Berlin, Germany, multinational indie folk trio Mighty Oaks formed in 2010 around the talents of multi-instrumentalists and vocalists Ian Hooper (United States), Claudio Donzelli (Italy), and Craig Saunders (United Kingdom). The release of their debut album Howl with Universal Records in 2014 reached the Top-10 of the German album charts, and put them on the road throughout Europe, and the United States, for the better part of three years. Their second album Dreamers will be released March 2017.
Who would have thought that the Swiss based photographer Lukas Maeder would have become part of this journey that Mighty Oaks were on? It all started when Lukas met the Berlin-based band during their tour for their first album Howl, and since then, his presence became a normality.
The book "We'll never be this young again" represents the ecstasy of the road and the authenticity of the band. Lukas was the observer, capturing the moment, but he also became a part of the Mighty Oak's family. It is with his analog camera and his endless curiosity that Lukas captured raw moments of the band. He followed the journey of the band with a feeling of joy similar to the band itself—their success was his, as much as their struggle.

There's something about those baby achon hands. Maybe it's a POLP thing, or maybe it's just a mom thing, but they signify something. Something great. We made these ornaments yesterday on a last minute whim (thanks for the inspiration Chelley!), and I'm so so happy that Declan's 1 year old hand print will be hanging in our Christmas tree forevermore.
Sending very merry Christmas wishes to our friends and family, near and far. Feeling thankful for what we have, and blessed for who we have.
I hope the guy in red is good to you all!

Location/Date/Time: The Gleeson Library Rare Book Room, Gleeson 3rd Floor. Thursday February 7, 2013 11:40 lecture and 12:40 reception. Twitter #USFDH
The University of San Francisco will be hosting a lecture and reception with Matthew Gold, Editor of Debates in the Digital Humanities (U of Minnesota Press, 2012).
Matthew K. Gold, Assistant Professor of English at New York City College of Technology, discusses his newly edited work, Debates in the Digital Humanities This event is part of the University of San Francisco's continuing College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Lecture Series and is co-sponsored by the Gleeson Library | Geschke Learning Resource Center at USF.
Gold is a faculty member in the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Doctoral Certificate Program at the CUNY Graduate Center, where he also serves as Advisor to the Provost for Master's Programs and Digital Initiatives. Matthew is also the Project Director of Looking for Whitman: The Poetry of Place in the Life and Work of Walt Whitman, an NEH-funded experiment in online multi-campus pedagogy, and Project Director of the CUNY Academic Commons, an open-source academic social network dedicated to building community across CUNY's 23 campuses.
Debates in the Digital Humanities brings together leading figures in the field to explore its theories, methods, and practices and to clarify its multiple possibilities and tensions. Together, the essays—which will be published later as an ongoing, open-access website—suggest that the digital humanities is uniquely positioned to contribute to the revival of the humanities and academic life.
This event is free and open to the public.

Subscribe To Johnny Depp's The Lone Ranger May Live On At Disney Updates
I've already subscribed
During the first week of this month, a report came out saying that the future of Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger was to be decided by studio heads over the long Labor Day weekend. The production had been shut down in August due to budget concerns - the film was hovering around $250 million - and after some tinkering done by the filmmakers, Disney was going to review the new budget and decide whether or not the project would move forward. Then...silence. It's been nearly two weeks since the executives were supposed to make their decision and we haven't heard a peep. Now we're finally hearing some news, and it sounds positive.
Deadline is reporting from inside sources that it looks as though The Lone Ranger will have a future at the studio, though the headline suggests that it's a matter of "guarded optimism." Following the shutdown, Disney suits told producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Verbinski that they would need to take $50 million off of the budget, but the pair argued for $215 million. A few days after the production was halted it was reported that what was driving up costs was an extensive amount of CGI related to werewolves and "Native American occult aspects." Those parts were removed from the script, but star Johnny Depp said that he wouldn't do the film without Verbinski at the helm. There's no official word yet, but the site's article ends saying, "don't be surprised if The Lone Ranger rides again."
I still have no idea why a western would need a budget of $200 million, but then again I'm not a filmmaker/producer. The film does still have a stellar cast lined up, including the likes of Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, Helena Bonham Carter, Dwight Yoakam, Barry Pepper and James Badge Dale, but this delay may affect the December 21, 2012 release date. One step at a time, though; we're still not sure if it's even happening.

'In love with those patties and bowls'
(12-14 patties)
- 1 medium cauliflower
- 1 cup red quinoa (cooked)
- Zest from 1 organic lemon
- 1 big leek
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds (flax seed egg)
- 2 or 3 tbsp brown rice flour
- 1 tbsp cumin powder
- Handful fresh parsley and basil leaves
- Olive oil
- Sea salt & black pepper
- Avocado
- Radishes
- Black sesame seeds
- Zatar or chili flakes
- Fresh lemon thyme
We love patties! Made with grains, beans, veggies, nuts, seeds, herbs... i think that you can make many versions of them. Well... perhaps the difficulty comes when you don't eat eggs or cheese to get a nice consistence and that all the ingredients stick together. By making an egg out of ground flax seeds and adding some spoons of a clean grain flour, the problem is solved!
I am also in love with those bowls! Last week i received a package with beautiful ceramics and cloths from Parament-shop. I like the clean and timeless notes of their designs.Thanks Parament for the lovely present!
How to make a flax seed egg? 1 tbsp ground flax seeds x 3 tbsp water. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes and the result it will be the substitution of a normal egg. In this recipe we will use two, so we use 2tbsp of ground flax seeds combined with 6 tbsp water.
Cut the cauliflower in small florets, place them in a food processor or blender and chop thinly. Cut the leek also in thin slices. Add some spoons of oil in a pan and cook the chopped cauliflower and leek to golden. In a big bowl or container, combine the cooked quinoa with the cauliflower and leek. Add the zest of a lemon and the two flax seed eggs. Combine with a spoon. Now pour the flour, fresh chopped herbs and sprinkle the cumin powder, sea salt and black pepper. Combine again. Let the dough sit for a couple of minutes in the fridge.
Make the patties by using your hands, i use to clear my hands under water any other time while making them, it makes easier to roll them. Heat some olive oil in a pan. When the oil is quite hot, low the heat to medium and fry the patties, both sides by carefully flipping the patties. When ready, place them on a plate covered with some kitchen paper to absorb the extra oil. Serve the patties with some avocado and radish salad.

text: The recent emergence of the cluster concept represents one of the most common policy approaches to addressing the tensions between globalization and localization. Originally articulated in the work of Porter, Enright and others though building on longer traditions such as the work of Marshall and the innovative milieu research by the GREMI group the factors influencing the propensity of industries to cluster in certain locations have been extensively examined over the past decade. The resulting clusters have been interpreted as self-reinforcing networks of not just firms, but a range of other organizations including research institutes, universities, financial bodies and public sector agencies all of which are characterized by high levels of both competition and collaboration. Interest in the cluster concept has been especially apparent in economic development policy, as demonstrated by the increasing support local development policy, as demonstrated by the increasing support for cluster development at both national and sub-national levels. As a result, cluster policies have proliferated over the past decade both those clearly designated as such and related policy initiatives such as regional innovation strategies and measures to support local production systems even though as a whole, the implementing governments have had little in common in their ideological attitude towards economic intervention.

Let $G$ be a group of order $n$ and $d$ a positive divisor of $n$. Is it true that there exists a subgroup of $G$ with order $d$ or $n/d$?
Of course this does not hold in full generality. -- In particular one quickly finds that e.g. ${\rm PSL}(2,8)$, ${\rm PSL}(2,11)$, ${\rm PSL}(2,13)$, ${\rm SL}(2,11)$, ${\rm SL}(2,13)$, ${\rm PSL}(2,17)$, ${\rm A}_7$, ${\rm PSL}(2,19)$, ${\rm A}_5 \times {\rm A}_5$, etc. are counterexamples.
Though does the assertion hold for
solvable groups?
solvable groups with derived length less than a certain bound $> 2$?
groups whose order has at most 2 distinct prime divisors?
A quick computation with GAP shows that any counterexample must have order $\geq 192$.
