Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage
In May 1980, the University of Minnesota and the U.S. Geological Survey began a project to evaluate the storage of hightemperature water in the deep FranconiaIronton-Galesville sandstone aquifer (hereafter called ''the aquifer'') and later recovering the hot water for space heating. High-temperature water (302°F.) generated during the cooling of the University's electrical generation facilities will supply heat for storage at about 800 feet below the surface. Figure 1 shows the Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) system which uses two wells 860 feet
apart. Water is pumped from one of the wells in the aquifer through a heat exchanger where heat is added or removed. The water is then returned to the aquifer through the other well. Experimental testing of the ATES system consists of a series of hot water injection, storage, and withdrawal cycles. Each cycle is 24 days long, and each injection, storage, and withdrawal step of the cycle takes 8 days.
The U.S. Geological Survey designed the data-collection network, collected and analyzed the data to describe the hydrologic properties of the aquifer, and con

structed a ground-water-flow and thermalenergy-transport model for evaluating the efficiency of the ATES system.
A comprehensive network for data collection, data storage, and data reduction has been designed to monitor temperature and pressure changes during the ATES test cycles.
Temperature and pressure measurements are combined in observation-well tests at approximate distances of either 20 or 40 feet away from the production wells (fig. 1). All pressure and temperature data are transmitted from the observation wells by way of buried cables to a central data logger where measurements are viewed independently or stored on computer magnetic tape for later analysis.
Two computer models have been constructed to simulate the movement of ground water and heat. The computer code for the models, developed under contract to the Geological Survey, has been used for calculating the effects of liquidwaste disposal in deep saline aquifers. The code has been successfully used to model storage of warm (130°F.) water in a shallow unconfined aquifer in Alabama but never for high-temperature water in a deep confined aquifer, such as in Minnesota.
Application of the calibrated model will consist of simulating various combinations of heat injection, storage, and withdrawal periods and various pumping-injection rates and analyzing the effects of the combinations on efficiency of the ATES system. One measure of system efficiency is the ratio of heat recovered to heat injected, which can be expressed as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the more efficient the ATES system.
Preliminary model simulations indicate that, under the condition of injecting 300°F. water for five 1-year cycles, the least-efficient operation would be injection
of hot water for 8 months and withdrawal of hot water for 4 months; both periods have the same injection-withdrawal rate of 300 gallons per minute. This operation would be only 39-percent efficient at the end of the 5-year period.
The most efficient operation that has been simulated describes injection and withdrawal of hot water for equal 6-month periods but with a withdrawal rate of 600 gallons per minute, which is twice the injection rate of 300 gallons per minute. Under these conditions, 84 percent of the stored thermal energy would be removed at the end of 5 years.
Although it may appear that the best operation of the ATES system is the one that is most efficient in terms of heat recovered, other analyses indicate that the most efficient operation may not be the most economical. The economic efficiency of the ATES system is a function of the minimum temperature requirements for use of recovered water.
Preliminary models indicate that, under conditions of injecting 300°F. water with a minimum withdrawal temperature requirement of 110°F., the maximum system efficiency at the end of five 1-year cycles would be 84 percent, based on 6-month injection and withdrawal periods with a withdrawal rate of 600 gallons per minute and an injection rate of 300 gallons per minute. If the minimum withdrawal temperature required is 140°F., the maximum system efficiency at the end of five 1-year cycles would be 61 percent based on 8 months of injection and 4 months of withdrawal, again with a withdrawal rate of 600 gallons per minute and an injection rate of 300 gallons per minute.
The model simulations are encouraging and indicate that the ATES system is a viable means for conserving a valuable resource that presently is being wasted.
Regional Ground-Water Flow in the Floridan Aquifer System
The Floridan aquifer system is one of the major sources of ground-water supplies in the United States. This highly productive aquifer system underlies all of Florida, southeastern Georgia, and small parts of adjoining Alabama and South Carolina, for a total area of about 100,000 square miles. A total of about 3 billion gallons of water per day is withdrawn from the aquifer, and, in many areas, the Floridan is the sole source of fresh water.
The Floridan aquifer provides public water supplies for many cities including Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, and St. Petersburg in Florida and Brunswick and Savannah in Georgia. The amount of water withdrawn for irrigation and industrial use is greater than that withdrawn for public supply. Although pumping of ground water has caused extensive local declines of ground-water levels, more than one-half the aquifer area has not yet had significant declines in water levels. Despite the enormous amount of untapped water in the Floridan, the water ia not always locally available for use.
This aquifer system is a sequence of hydraulically connected carbonate rocks (principally limestone with some dolomite) that vary in thickness from a featheredge where they crop out to more than 1,500 feet where the aquifer is confined. In parts of southern Georgia and northwestern and central Florida, the rocks of the Floridan outcrop are covered by a thin layer of soil. In these areas, the Floridan usually contains one aquifer. In parts of coastal Georgia, the Florida panhandle, and all of southern Florida, the Floridan aquifer rocks are covered (or confined) by hundreds of feet of clay and sand, and, in these areas, two aquifers generally are separated by rock that has low to extremely low permeability. Most of the natural recharge, flow, and discharge occurs where the rocks crop out or where the aquifer is thinly covered. The large springs of northwest-central Florida occur in the outcrop areas.
From 1978 to 1982, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a regional assessment of the Floridan aquifer system by studying and summarizing previous studies, collecting new data in selected areas, and using computers to model and simu
late ground-water flow. The Floridan study was one of 15 comprising the Survey's Regional Aquifer Systems Analysis Program, which is commonly known as the RASA program. In the early 1930's, Victor Stringfield, a Survey geologist, published a Water-Supply Paper, Artesian Water in the Florida Peninsula. In it, he identified for the first time a regional flow system in the carbonate rocks of Florida. His potentiometric surface map of the Floridan aquifer showed the natural recharge areas (intakes to the aquifer), discharge areas (outlets), and the general direction of ground-water movement from the recharge to discharge areas. A major potential recharge area was shown in central Florida. Major discharge areas were shown in the coastal areas of Florida and Georgia.
In the early 1940's, Stringfield, H. H. Cooper, and M. A. Warren documented a widespread decline of water levels, or artesian pressure, along the Georgianortheastern Florida coast. The areal decline was caused by large ground-water withdrawals from the Floridan aquifer at the coastal cities of Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia, and Fernandina Beach and Jacksonville, Florida. Pumping, which began in the late 1800's, caused 'cones of depression' to form in the potentiometric surface around these cities. However, by the 1940's, these cones had coalesced to form a troughlike depression (in the potentiometric surface) extending from Jacksonville, Florida, to near Hilton Head, South Carolina, a distance of 150 miles.
Since this early work of Stringfield, other maps of the potentiometric surface have been prepared. However, to do a rigorous analysis of the flow system, an aquiferwide map based on simultaneous measurements throughout the four-State area was needed. To meet this need, the Survey, during a 12-day period in May 1980, measured the depth to water level, or artesian pressure, in more than 2,700 wells tapping the upper Floridan aquifer. The resulting potentiometric-surface map, as prepared by R. H. Johnston and several coworkers, is shown in the accompanying illustration. Most of the major features of the regional flow system can be demonstrated from this map; for example, con

A Burlington man turned himself in to authorities over the weekend after being charged in connection with a child pornography investigation.
According to the Burlington Police Department, Bruce Lee Martin, 54, 325 Courtland Terrace, was charged with felony third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
An arrest warrant indicated that on May 31, Martin had material showing an unidentified nude minor, about 12 years old, in an �obscene sexual position.�
Burlington police were tipped off about Martin by the State Bureau of Investigation on July 13, said Lt. Brian Long.
�Those cases come to us directly from the SBI, who is the controlling agency of the Internet Crimes Against Children program,� Long said of such child pornography cases.
On Aug. 14, police executed a search warrant at Martin�s home and seized �computer-related items� that will be examined further for additional explicit photographs of children.
Martin was held at the Alamance County jail under a $10,000 bond.

This piece by Wayan Juniartha previously appeared in the Jakarta Post before Gusti Made Srimin Suteja's cremation. Nonetheless we found it to be still poignantly relevant enough to run here. With thanks to Wayan Juniartha and the Jakarta Post.
She was the tough, logical brain behind Sutedja Neka, one of the most important personages in Indonesia's visual arts landscape.
The sprawling compound of Pande Wayan Sutedja Neka's house was filled with people on a gloomy and humid night.
Most of them were members of his banjar (traditional neighborhood association) and came to pay their respects as is custom.
Ni Gusti Made Srimin, Neka's wife of more than five decades, had passed away a few days earlier and in accordance to local customs, members of the banjar took turns visiting and helping the family during the difficult period.
Neka, a successful art dealer, cultural patron and founder of one of the island's top museums, sat cross-legged in the house's east pavilion, where the body of his wife was placed pending the cremation ritual.
He was flanked by several elders from his extended family and clan. Neka belongs to the Pande blacksmith clan. In the past, members of this clan forged kris daggers for the island's kings and warriors, a fact that spurred Neka's interest in adding a dedicated kris wing to the Neka Art Museum.
The wing now houses around 400 kris, including heirlooms and historical kris from several noble houses in Bali.
When a group of friends, including Ketut Yuliarsa, the proprietor of Ubud's famous Ganesha bookstore, approached the pavilion, Neka stood up and beckoned them.
"Ibu has left me, has left me," he whispered while embracing one of his visiting friends.
The usually energetic 79-year-old appeared frail and vulnerable that night.
"There is no doubt that Ni Gusti Made Srimin was Neka's shakti," painter and art scholar Kun Adnyana said.
A painting of Gst Md Srimin and her husband Suteja Neka by Jeihan Sukmantoro (JP?I Wyn Juniartha)
Shakti is a term in Hindu esoteric teaching that generally refers to the feminine force that enables the masculine force to enact his role. For instance, Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, is the shakti of Lord Brahma the Creator. Without her knowledge, it is impossible for Brahma to create something.
Kun depicted Srimin first and foremost as a courageous woman who boldly challenged the social customs of her era.
"She came from a weisya caste, which is of a higher hierarchy than the sudra caste of Neka. Yet, she defied her family and married Neka,"
In 1960s Bali, it was the kind of decision only a few women dared to make.
"Second, she was very passionate about art and wholeheartedly supported her husband's vision to advance the island's and Indonesia's visual arts," Kun said.
The support never faltered, including when her young husband decided to resign from his job as a school teacher — a prestigious and comfortable profession at that time — to pursue a career as an art dealer. Many years later, when Sutedja Neka decided to build a museum, a plan a lot of people mocked as nothing but a self-promotional gimmick, Srimin stood by his side.
The Neka Art Museum opened in 1982 as the island's second privately owned museum and, today, it is respected as both a repository of works of master painters and a platform for aspiring artists.
"She was the vital force that made all of this possible. She befriended and actually was adored by many great Indonesian artists, from Affandi and S. Sudjojono to Hendra Gunawan and Srihadi Soedarsono, but she deliberately let the limelight shine only on her husband,"
Her second child, Kardi Neka, remembered the late Srimin as a brilliant entrepreneur whose business acumen and financial prudence transformed their family into one of the wealthiest and most influential households in Ubud.
In addition to an art gallery and museum, the family now controls five premium tourist properties in and outside Ubud, including the newly launched Komaneka at Keramas Beach.
"They were the perfect couple — the father is the throttle and the mother was the brake. The father is a visionary and the mother took care of all the minute details to ensure that the father's vision became a reality," Kardi Neka said.
He remembered his mother as a tough, strong-willed woman who was not easily swayed by other people's opinions and a strong believer in the importance of education.
"If it was for the education of her children and grandchildren, she was always ready to splurge."
Srimin was also a stoic fighter who began battling cervical cancer 12 years ago. Her therapy was initially declared a success until symptoms reappeared two years ago. Her condition had deteriorated and so early this year, she was hospitalized at Singapore's Farrer Park Hospital.
Experts and family tried to heal her in many ways, including through next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS), to no avail.
On the morning of March 3, Srimin passed away. She is survived by her husband, four children, 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
It is a huge loss for the family, particularly for Neka.
He tried his best to hide the sorrow when he escorted several guests throughout the museum on Tuesday.
"I have just had my health check-up. Everything is OK. I might live for another year and then I will reunite again with her," he said.

Call it the Holliday rule.
The Broncos love when Trindon Holliday scores touchdowns. They'd just like him to hold on to the ball a little longer as he does it.
Holliday has scored return touchdowns in consecutive games — a 105-yard kickoff return against the Bengals to go with a 76-yard punt return against the Panthers — and nonchalantly dropped the ball at, or before, the goal line on each.
Neither was waved off by the league-mandated replay review of all scoring plays, but it was too close for Broncos coach John Fox's liking. The NFL said Monday, however, that Holliday's touchdown against the Panthers should have been a touchback instead, for the Panthers.
Now Holliday has to turn in the ball to get back into the Broncos' bench area.
"He's got full instructions from Jeff Rodgers, our special-teams coach, to bring the ball all the way back to him," Fox said. "Bring it to the sideline, hand it to your coach."
Asked if he realized he gave up the ball too early against the Panthers, Holliday said Monday: "No, I didn't realize that. Actually, it happened last week too, and I thought I was actually in the end zone this time, but they told me I wasn't. So I had to go back and look at the film and I really wasn't, so Coach told me next time to just bring him the ball, so we'll be all right.
"Just cross the goal line and bring him the football to be on the safe side."
The game's replay official, Bob Boylston, confirmed the touchdown shortly after the play, so the Broncos had a 14-7 lead after the play.
In a statement Monday, the NFL said: "Boylston should have stopped the game to initiate an instant replay review" and that the ball should have been awarded to the Panthers on the Carolina 20-yard line.
Porter still waiting. Broncos cornerback Tracy Porter said Monday he doesn't know when he will return to the practice field.
Porter has not played since he experienced the same symptoms Oct. 14 that he experienced just before a seizure in August. Porter has practiced sparingly since, and has missed the last four games. He did not practice last week.
Footnotes. Fox said the Broncos' fumble woes — the team has lost 12 this season and only the Chiefs have lost more — are "not acceptable" and will be among the things emphasized this week. … Broncos defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson had his first two-sack game Sunday. He had 3½ sacks over the previous 52 games.

what an awesome light! i have one similar but got disappointed with it quickly...
- March 8, 2010 at 5:37 PM
Ok, so we're loving the lamp - but what are those beauties in the last picture??? Bracelets, maybe? Whatever they are, they're purdy!

How long will the batteries last?
- March 8, 2010 at 5:53 PM
- Round Rabbit said...
Yes, Tracey, those are going to be bracelets. They've been sitting around for months, actually. Time to finish them!
Mari, the batteries are supposed to last for 48 hours of continuous use. You can also purchase an AC adapter to use with the light. Something I will be doing when I use the light near an outlet.

I have one that doesn't have the magnifier - I use it for my knitting charts when I'm knitting on long car trips - of course not when I'm the driver. It's great because it works on batteries and it doesn't distract the actual driver by shining in his eyes. Mine uses regular AAA batteries, sounds like yours is rechargeable. Do you like the magnifier, I wonder if that would be a useful knitting tool?

Another One Bites the Dust
A.M. Freyed
June 26, 2012
A recent appearance by top US bureaucrat Michele Leonhart is making a stir throughout the blogosphere because of its incompetence and evasiveness. But perhaps there is a bigger story.
In fact, one might argue Leonhart's appearance signals a turning point in the "war on drugs" … much the way an appearance in 2009 by the Federal Reserve's Inspector General Elizabeth Coleman helped puncture Fed credibility.
In the video itself (which also accompanies various articles), Drug Enforcement Administrator Leonhart refuses to answer whether heroin is more addictive than marijuana. But her caution – caught in the crosshairs of YouTube's merciless gaze – comes across as evasion. Her determined rephrasing would seem to present itself as reluctance to convey the truth.
Testifying at a recent House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing, she seems either woefully uninformed or maliciously determined to mislead those conducting the hearing. The entire encounter is reminiscent of a video presenting the testimony of Fed Inspector General Coleman on May 5, 2009.
This testimony has already gone down in the history of the alternative press as "The Day that May Have Ended the Fed as We Know It." The Coleman video basically shows one of the Fed's top officers shakily denying that she has the authority to find out where trillions of Fed dollars – money printed from nothing – were shipped during the "contagion crisis" of 2008-2009.
In the case of Coleman, her questioner is (former) Representative Alan Grayson. In the case of Leonhart, her questioner is Rep. Jared Polis. But the identity of the questioners is not so important as the appearances of their victims, eventually, on YouTube.
There, on YouTube, they are judged by multi-millions of viewers and subjected increasingly to generalized derision. The omnipotent state that sponsors both the Fed and the "war on the drugs" can withstand almost anything, but not mockery. YouTube's exposure and the subsequent reaction of viewers are deadly to the state's justifications for many of its most Draconian and authoritarian policies.
Is it a coincidence that in the 21st century, much of the fear-based propaganda that elites have used to promote world government is beginning to crumble? Global warming and other scarcity-based propaganda along with the "war on terror" are all increasingly subject to corrosive popular doubt and public ridicule.
This is a trend little noted in the bought-and-paid-for media, but no less powerful for its lack of mainstream reporting. Already, the Polis/Leonhart dialogue probably has in aggregate something like a million views. The Grayson/Coleman confrontation probably has many millions more. As noted, the consequences can be severe.
Coleman's appearance at Grayson's hearing surely aggravated the Fed's current troubles. The Fed has been subject to increasing scrutiny, and the latest bombshell to emerge is that top Fed board members – as a result of the ongoing "financial crisis – distributed up to US$4 trillion to various banking entities in which they had specific interests.
But at the time, Coleman's appearance showed quite clearly that those at the top of the Fed had absolutely no idea how to operate in an era when one's evasiveness and incompetence is not celebrated by the New York Times, but excoriated by millions on YouTube. Alex Jones, Infowars and the organization We Are Change, among others, have helped pioneer this type of exposure.
Leonhart is not Coleman, of course, but she is similarly an upper echelon person and as such speaks for the bureaucratic elites that make their leeching off the grief and blood of those captured in the web of "illegal" drug use.
The continued lack of competence when it comes to public appearances goes to show that 20 years after the 'Nets initial public penetration, the global elites that want to rule the world still have little or no coordinated strategy (other than censorship) on how to deal with the Net's subversive and ultimately corrosive impact.
The soft-fascism of the West's political functionaries is increasingly under attack and every day – week, month and year – that the Internet exists, the elite's difficulties are compounded. Many more average people understand that there is almost no justification for any of the government vaunted paraphernalia – let alone the monopoly central banking that is continuously ruining countries around the world.
Of course, censorship DOES remain an option, and it has been pointed out elsewhere that the global elites seem to be making an effort to legalize some drugs. One could argue that Leonhart's disastrous appearance is part of this larger trend.
One theory is that the elites used the "war on drugs" to build up the penitentiary-industrial complex around the world and that they are now in the process of transferring the infrastructure to its intended destination as a resource for the "war on terror" – aimed at anyone who resists the putative New World Order.
While it is certainly true that the elites are trying to use the awesome power of the Internet for their own ends, it is equally true that the Internet remains a weapon of freedom and insight available to tens and hundreds of millions.
Video clips, freely disseminated, have the ability to undermine those shadowy few that wield tremendous power but operate in the shadows. They are exposed by their own words. Coleman and Leonhart are two such. But there are many others … and more to come.

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao receives Conrado Moya once again this Saturday, November 24, with a solo marimba recital in the framework of the global solidarity movement 'Fair Saturday'. The concert, which benefits will go to the 'Dar Al Karama' association, will feature a premiere, composed for the occasion by Christos Hatzis and performed together with the soprano Nora Franco Madariaga.
Right after the 'Black Friday' shopping day, the 'Fair Saturday' foundation tries to channel this massive mobilization of capital during the last weekend of November towards social purposes, through Arts and Culture. Since its birth in 2014, the 'Fair Saturday' has organized events for social purposes with important international artists, significantly increasing its presence in the most prominent cities in the world to become, eventually, a global solidarity movement. After a collaboration agreement, Conrado Moya will participate in this solidarity movement with a solo marimba recital at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
In the recital, which will take place this Saturday, November 24, at 6pm in the atrium of the Frank Gehry's most emblematic museum, Conrado Moya will present some of the most outstanding works for solo marimba and will premiere a new score together with the soprano Nora Franco Madariaga, 'Haikus', written for the occasion by the Greek-Canadian composer Christos Hatzis and dedicated to both artists.
The benefits generated by this concert will go entirely to 'Dar Al Karama', an association to help the Saharawi people whose main objective is to care for sick children from the refugee camps of the Sahara desert and with which Conrado Moya has been collaborating every year for almost a decade.
Both the audience and all those who will not be able attend the concert, can collaborate with donations to the 'Dar Al Karama' association through the following account number:

Republican tax bills come bearing gifts for the rich
Before the Minnesota Senate's floor session last Thursday, chaplain Mike Smith stood at the rostrum, reminding members of that body it was the National Day of Prayer.
"It will be a time when people are not lobbying, or asking, or demanding anything," Smith said, hopefully. "Throughout our state, we're going to be praying for you."
Smith read Psalm 103, with its depiction of a God who "does righteous deeds, brings justice to the oppressed." When he was done, it was Senate Republicans' turn to fight for their version of the oppressed: Minnesota's richest people and biggest corporations.
Their mission was to square Minnesota's tax code with the federal Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, that early present to the rich President Donald Trump signed on December 22. In Minnesota, the law's name was a lie. Unless our tax law is rewritten, filers here would pay a combined $500 million in tax hikes next year.
Gov. Mark Dayton wants to avoid that, and put forth a plan to offer tax credits to anyone earning less than $140,000, plus working families.
What's that you say, governor? Cut taxes? Republicans thought you'd never ask.
"Our tax system is going to kill us," Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes), chief author of the Senate bill, told colleagues Thursday, adding that Minnesota's taxes are "abusive."
After years mired in deficit, Minnesota has run a surplus for several consecutive budget cycles. Economists see this as sound fiscal policy. Chamberlain sees it as theft. His bill includes a "trigger" mechanism, whereby any time Minnesota accumulates a surplus of a certain size, income taxes on individuals and corporations would be reduced automatically.
In introducing his plan, Chamberlain bragged that he'd borrowed his scheme from North Carolina. That state's tax-cut trigger is a favorite of Americans for Prosperity, the Koch Brothers' lobbying group, which credits the measure with helping North Carolina cut its unemployment rate to 4.5 percent. Minnesota's is 3.2 percent. Remind us: What is it Minnesota wants to learn from North Carolina?
The Senate bill would also raise the threshold on the estate tax—known as the "inheritance tax," or, if you're getting your news from conservative think-tank tweets, the "death tax"—from the current $2.4 million to $5 million. About 2.3 million Minnesotans pay taxes each year. The estate tax affects 350 of them a year; Chamberlain's bill would spare 250 of them.
Republicans in the House are also going out of their way to help those least in need. The bill passed by that chamber last week would cut the state's corporate income tax, which, Republicans promised, will lead businesses to increase wages and hire more people.
"Supply-side economics is no longer just a theory," said Rep. Eric Lucero, R-Dayton, one of several Republicans to cite the Trump tax cut's immediate impact on corporate stock prices, profit projections, and the announcement of wage hikes—or, in many more cases, one-time bonuses—for employees.
As support for his claim that high taxes would drive away Minnesota's job creators, Lucero read a headline from CNBC: "800,000 people are about to flee New York, California because of taxes, say economists."
If only he'd kept reading. The CNBC story says those economists "fail to mention that very few" people who move from high-tax to low-tax states are "high earners." And "the number of millionaires in those high-tax states is actually growing, not shrinking."
Even thinner was the argument from Rep. Jerry Hertaus, R-Greenfield, who pronounced himself sick of "anti-corporate rhetoric." Hertaus blamed the state's tax climate for young people leaving Minnesota. He's half right: Minnesota takes in about 21,000 young people each year, and loses about 29,000, according to a study, which says keeping "college-bound young adults at in-state institutions" could be a "key strategy to long-term population retention."
Of course, in Hertaus' construction, this has less to do with a miserly higher education budget—Minnesota spends half what North Dakota does, per college student, and a third as much as Scott Walker's Wisconsin—and more to do with business taxes. How's a 17-year-old supposed to plan her future, he wonders, with a 9.8 percent corporate income tax rate?
The House tax bill would also raise the maximum property tax deduction from $10,000 to $30,000—a boon to the very few of us who own houses worth more than $1.5 million. Maybe this bill would lead to wage increases for their butlers?
The House's corporate cut, and the Senate's tax-slashing surplus "trigger," are a threat to the state's well-being. To conservatives, they're an act of survival. Republicans need corporations and the wealthy to spend tens of millions of dollars to help get them re-elected. These bills, along with last year's ruinous cuts in corporate property taxes, are GOP lawmakers' end of the deal.
Dayton, who is retiring after this year, doesn't need anything from anyone. He inherited a $6 billion deficit, which, through tax hikes on the wealthy, he turned into a stable budget and a surplus. As his final act in office, Republicans want him to sign all that away.
In a sobering moment during the House tax debate, Rep. Rena Moran (DFL-St. Paul), one of two black members in the 134-person House, said her constituents are not watching their 401(k)s and planning leisurely later years, as Republicans said. They're cutting coupons, and planning next week. "They don't have a retirement plan," Moran said. "They're not watching the stock market."
When their medical bills come due, they'll need help. For now, all they can do is pray lawmakers haven't given it away.

Sugar made lots of headlines earlier this year. The focus was on added sugar, which is mostly sugar added to processed and prepared foods and beverages, but also sugar you add yourself— not the sugar naturally found in fruit and milk, for instance. Added sugars include white sugar, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, honey, cane sugar and molasses.
American adults get about 13 percent of their daily calories from added sugar, on average, according to a report from the CDC. Men average 335 calories a day from added sugar, women 239 calories. One-third of these calories come from soft drinks. The only bright spot is that intake is down somewhat from 15 years ago, largely because of reduced consumption of regular soda and other sweetened beverages. The American Heart Association advises that men limit added sugars to 150 calories (about 9 teaspoons) a day, and women to 100 calories (6 teaspoons) a day.
The more sugar, the more diabetes, two large observational studies concluded. One, in the online journal PLOS ONE, examined data on sugar availability and rates of type 2 diabetes from 175 countries over the past decade. It estimated that for every additional 150 calories of added sugar (the amount in a 12-ounce can of soda) available per person per day, the prevalence of diabetes in the population rose by 1 percent, even after adjustments were made for obesity, total calorie intake, physical activity and other variables. Calories from other sources were not independently related to diabetes risk.
The second study, published in the European journal Diabetologia, looked at the increased diabetes risk for an individual, based on data from 16,000 adults from eight European countries. It found that for every 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soda a person consumed daily, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increased by 18 percent, after controlling for factors such as body weight and total calorie intake. Juice was not associated with increased risk.
Sugary beverages are linked to more than 180,000 obesity-related deaths worldwide each year, according to a Harvard study presented at the American Heart Association conference in New Orleans in the spring. About 25,000 of those deaths occur in the U.S. Three-quarters of these deaths are caused by diabetes, the rest by cardiovascular disease and some cancers. The researchers used data from the 2010 Global Burden of Disease Study, which focused on the health and mortality rates of more than 100 countries, and adjusted them for other factors that affect weight.

I know it's not a very inspiring title but I really didn't know how to describe these chewy, sweet, satisfying 'biscuits'. The combination of ingredients is perhaps not what a classic biscuit would have, nor is the method, but these are super quick, very easy to make, taste really lovely and you can feed them to just about everyone as they as so 'allergen low'.
I used to love to cook with my daughters and their friends (much to other parents horror. We'd make everything from bread to cinder toffee – heyho they all lived). And even if you have tiny, barely walking toddlers I'd urge you to make these. The dough is entirely edible and a treat and you are getting some great stuff into your bubba's body.
Another great one to make with small children (as long as they are not intolerant or allergic to sesame or gluten) is to mix equal quantities of tahini and malt extract (or honey if your child is coeliac). It makes an edible play dough rich in calcium and other nutrients you won't find in shop bought confectionary.
I highly recommend investing in small bags of the superfoods – you only ever use a teaspoon at a time and so it lasts ages. But the good they do you is beyond the money you pay. If you don't want to buy them or you don't want to buy all of them, either substitute one for the other – add more of the one you have bought or leave them out completely. Perhaps add a teaspoon of a good vanilla extract instead.
So – give these a try and let me know what you think and how you get on 🙂 (and if you are confused or worried I'm happy to help if I can)
Dough Ingredients:
100g dried apricots, prunes or figs
100g organic sunflower seeds
40 g shelled hemp seeds
6 tsp xylitol or coconut palm sugar
1 tsp baobab powder
1 tsp suma powder
1 tsp camu-camu powder
1 tsp maca root powder
1/2 tsp kelp powder
1/2 tsp barley grass powder
1/2 tsp good quality sea salt (or else leave it out)
120ml filtered water
For rolling:
1 tbsp lucuma powder
Place all the dough ingredients, bar the water, into your food processor with the 'S' blade. Process until it is as fine as it will go – about 5 minutes.
At this point start to dribble in the water through the chute as the machine is running until the mix forms a pliable, firm-ish ball.
Tip it onto a clean work surface dusted with the lucuma. Roll the ball so its all covered with the Lucuma (or Maca Root Powder if you prefer – its absolutely my favourite – I stir it into warmed almond milk for a treat).
It's at this point that you can leave the children to play with it, let them make shapes, figures, letters, numbers, eat it raw, roll it into snakes. Bake them as they make them.
Or roll it will a pin to 1/2 cm thick. Stamp out the shapes you like best and pop them onto a parchment lined tray.
If you have a dehydrator then you need to dry them at 38•C for about 6 hours. Or pop them onto your oven at the lowest setting and allow them to dry for 3 hours.
I made a Purple Caramel Jam to top them with
60g inca berries or golden sultanas
150g agave or maple syrup
2 tsp acai powder
1 tsp purple corn extract
1 tsp raw coconut oil
Just blast these in the food processor straight after the dough is made – no need to wash the bowl.
Stores in a jar for a good 6 weeks.
– but they are far more delicious with a smear of cashew nut butter of dark tahini (I love this stuff)

JMS331: Developer Meat-Gazing
Back when I was just a lil' coding padawan, I had a serious case of code-envy. Facebook, when it first came out; WordPress, Drupal, Laravel, there was even this one called Dolphin for social networks.
All these amazing applications and frameworks.
These coders with their big, beautiful code.
And, I'd find myself gazing enviously at them.
"How in the hell am I ever going to compete with that?"
Then, one day, I got contacted randomly by a guy who asked me to build him a unique kind of e-commerce site. Something none of the big shopping cart applications of the time could do.
And so, I built it.
And, he was happy.
And, it was all kinda weird.
I didn't think it was possible, but it was.
And, I realized I didn't HAVE to compete with those guys.
Not like I had been thinking, anyway. Those guys had spent years getting to the point that they could code those applications. And, along the way, they'd probably built dozens of smaller applications just like the one I did…
For smaller, lesser-known clients or projects.
And, built their way up.
All I really had to do was get started and keep moving.
And, not let my fear of another man's code keep me impotent.
Fast-forward a few years and here I was building membership sites for famous people like Michael Hyatt, Lewis Howes, Tim Ferriss and Inc. Magazine. And, I'd imagine there were a few coders gazing passionately at my… ahem… code, now.
Point is…
It's easy to get overwhelmed when you first start out.
You see all those developers doing all these amazing things.
Technology changing and evolving so quickly.
And, you can start to wonder, "how the hell will I ever keep up?" But, the truth is, once you get past this initial learning curve, it's actually not near as hard as you might think. And before you know it…
YOU will be the one other developers are "gazing" at.
Just gotta keep your head down.
And, grind through it.
In any case, that's where I come in. I help you get through that initial learning curve faster and with a helluva lot less frustration and misstepping. And, my entire curriculum to do that is available over on SkillShare…
Where you can get started for nothing.
Just go here to start your 2-month no-cost trial: https://www.skillshare.com/r/user/johnmorris
Take all my coding and freelancing courses.
Cancel anytime before the 2 months is up and never pay a penny.
Not an easier way to get going in my not-so-humble opinion.
But, do what you want.

If you leave a rating and review of the podcast, I'd really appreciate it. It's the main way more people find out about it which allows me to bring even more value to you as a listener.

7 ways to document your time in Sweden
Many things happen in a year, especially when you move to a new country, start a master, make new friends and, in short, when you step out of your comfort zone. So why not document it in a creative way! I'm sure you have already told many stories to your friends and family back home about your first days in Sweden and there're many more to come.
Storytelling has always been part of human existence. From stories told around the fire thousand of years ago to the ones we share today through our social media accounts. When we talk about the things we have experienced we revive those moments and we make other people imagine a world full of possibilities and things that are waiting for them to explore.
Personally, I love telling stories and keeping things that remind me an especial moment or a place, like a ticket from a concert I went or a badge from an important conference I attended. There are many ideas on how you can put on paper, pictures and words your time in Sweden and inspire other with your adventures in the Nordic lands. Here I give 8 of my favorite ones!
1. Scrapbook/Collage
Nothing can beat tangible memories! Save movie tickets, metro card, the package of your favorite tea, the tag from the first winter coat you bought, a museum entrance…the list never ends. You can also buy a jar where to put them and when your time in Sweden ends you can either make a scrapbook together with your favorite pictures or a collage to hang it on a wall.
2. Video captures
Record 2 seconds everyday and at the end of the year putt them all together, edit it with your favorite songs from your year in Sweden and look back to a year of adventures.
3. Write
If videos, photography or collages are not your things: write! Even if you think you're not a good writer, write, it can be about your first day in the university, cultural differences, the people you have met or just random thoughts you want to put down in paper. It's also a good self-reflection exercise. Personally I prefer to write in a small notebook. After being all day in front of screen writing with pen and paper it's a perfect getaway. If you want to go one step further you can also create a blog and share your experience abroad with the world.
4. Draw
Are you into sketch? If you are one of those artistic souls, drawing is always a good idea. It doesn't have to be perfect, allow yourself to have fun sketching your neighborhood, a meaningful sunset, your favorite spot in the library or you can make a whole series about your favorite Swedish sweets: kanelbulle, semla, princess tarta and so on.
5. Create your own hashtag!
If you're active in social media why not create your own hashtag. Try to make it unique so it doesn't get mix with other people's posts out there. An idea is start combining your name with Sweden or Swedish words. I use #swedishvanna and #scandivanna for my posts.
6. Get a scratching map
Being in Sweden also means that you're very close to the rest of Europe, so if you plan ahead and save money you could also visit other countries and scratch the map as you go.
7. Blog for Study in Sweden
You will not only get to see amazing sides of Sweden but you will also enjoy blogging, posting pictures, making videos and all of the above. The best thing is you still have few more days to apply.
I know classes can be overwhelming plus having to attend extra-curricular activities, take care of your social life and so on can seems it leaves you with no time for all this, but if something I've learned is that as long as you plan your week ahead: there's time for all. Also, 10, 20, 30 years from now you will still be talking about your time in Sweden and wouldn't be cool to had documented it in a creative way? Start today; share your story with the world.
Do you have any other ideas about how to document your time in Sweden? Let me know in the comments 🙂

Yuja Wang dazzles in Shostakovich concerto
All Yuja Wang performances are astonishing, but some are more astonishing than others.
Wang made one of her frequent visits to Davies Symphony Hall on Thursday, Sept. 29, to give a blazing, expressively fervent performance of Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 1 with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony. It was a showing of such nimble athleticism and grace that you might think she'd been eating her Wheaties — if not for the fact that she pretty much always sounds like this.
The startling thing about Wang's artistry, no matter the repertoire, is her ability to combine feats of superhuman technical agility with an equally dazzling degree of emotional depth. The traditional reckoning is that those two gifts are supposed to represent a trade-off — you can opt for icy technical perfection or for communicative directness at the expense of a few wrong notes.
With Wang, that's a false dichotomy. Her playing has everything.
Shostakovich's concerto offered as good a vehicle as you could wish for the display of those virtues. Written as a showcase for the composer's own gifts as a performing virtuoso, it abounds with pianistic razzle-dazzle — breathless scales and figuration, shimmery glissandos up and down the keyboard, great fistfuls of notes crammed together.
But the central slow movement also finds the composer at his most tenderly reflective, offering the pianist a chance to rhapsodize with soulful introspection.
And not just the pianist, because even though the piece is billed as a piano concerto, it's actually a formal oddball. It includes a prominent role for solo trumpet as well, not quite on a par with the piano but close. The result lies somewhere between the traditional solo concerto and a full-on double concerto like those of Mozart and Brahms.
Mark Inouye, the Symphony's superb principal trumpeter, was more than just a partner to Wang in this performance — at certain junctures, he seemed to be spurring her on to even greater peaks of eloquence. His contribution to the slow movement, a long, dark-hued and muted soliloquy, was breathtaking in its shapely insinuation; in the finale, his ferociously bright attack seemed to lead both Wang and the orchestra galloping into the concerto's concluding moments.
If the Shostakovich was the evening's high point, there were other rewards as well, beginning with the world premiere of Bright Sheng's "Dream of the Red Chamber" Overture. This seven-minute orchestral showpiece, commissioned by the Symphony, is not actually the opening strains of the opera that also had its premiere this season at the San Francisco Opera, but it's built out of the musical elements in that score.
For those who've heard the opera, those elements were instantly recognizable — a brass-heavy orchestral crash to open the proceedings, some lushly sweeping melodies, a bustling string figure punctuated by percussion, and more. To hear these episodes packed together into a short span rather than supported by a full dramatic framework felt a bit jumbled. But each one proved telling on its own, and the orchestra delivered the score with colorful vibrancy.
After intermission came two more orchestral scores with dramatic underpinnings, both by Stravinsky. "The Song of the Nightingale" bristled with instrumental effects, and there were fine individual contributions from Inouye (again), flutist Tim Day and concertmaster Alexander Barantschik.
But the work's formal flow felt choppier and more disconnected than usual, as Thomas worked to get the individual moments to cohere. There was better luck with the composer's "Firebird" Suite, which took flight on the strength of individual solos and robust orchestral execution alike.

I'm not certain whether Esperanto can recover from such a horrendous and unforgivable oversight. I feel like it might be possible, but it'd take some work. Let me explain.
I'm talking about a dilemma that many Esperantistas will have encountered: the actual Esperanto word for dilemma "dilemo".
Well now, the term "dilemma" and its many incarnations in other languages (dilema, dilemma, dilemme, Дилемма, dilema), originate from the greek for "double proposition". Surviving separately in both English and Esperanto are the terms "lemma" and "lemo" respectively for just "proposition". This separation means that "trilemma" is also used in English, for when you've got three alternatives to consider instead of two!
I thought that was pretty neat. But this is only possible because English is numerically promiscuous, caring not whether the number 2 is represented using prefixes like "bi", "two", or "di".
To make this relationship more clear, I reckon that Esperanto should have gone for "dulemo" since our fair "two" is "du". This would be the perfect hint that tri-lemo, dek-lemo and sescent-sesdek-ses-lemo are perfectly reasonable 😀
Now, of course I'm just playing with you, Esperanto; I love you to bits. But you gotta admit, dulemo is way more fun even by itself. For one, it looks like it could also mean "the tendency to be a 'd-person'", whatever that might be… 😀 (d(o) – ul – emo).

We love seeing retirement being addressed on big networks, it's definitely not something that's on everyone's immediate to-do list, so our favorite topic being highlighted is a nice change of pace.
1. Retirement accounts
Company option: If your company offers a specific retirement plan or 401(k), that's a good place to start saving for down the road.
MyRA program: If a company retirement plan is not offered, one option is a MyRA (a program that we've talked about before), or My Retirement Account, an account developed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. It's a Roth IRA, which only invests in treasury bonds, and there are no fees, no minimum balance and no contribution requirements.
2. Know what should be saved
Save what you need for the next 3 years: Any money you need for things like paying for college, a down payment on a house or living expenses that isn't covered by Social Security should not be in the stock market because it's too risky and a downturn in the market could wipe out money you cannot afford to lose.
If safe money is in stock markets, sell: Pull your safe money out of the stock market and put it in things like savings accounts, money market funds, CDs and short-term government bond funds. Move that money to safety even if it means taking a small loss because keeping it in the market could mean much bigger losses.
3. Calculate asset allocation
Investment mix: Determine how your money is split between stocks, fixed income (or bonds) and cash.
Percentage should go down as you age: You want to reduce the percentage of your money tied up in stocks as you age so that it lessens as you get closer to retirement. If you subtract your age from 100, that's generally the percentage you want in stocks, with the rest in bonds and cash.
Rebalance once a year: Take the time to balance out your portfolio once a year and get your asset allocation to where it should be.

Before & After: A Rental Bathroom Gone Wild
Apartment hacks are always on my radar because they're typically pretty easy on your pocketbook. What makes them really interesting, though, is how they highlight the cleverness and problem-solving abilities of lessees. Anh Luu, for example, has used wallpaper and a few tricks herself to make the bathroom in her Los Angeles rental sing.
The catalyst for the facelift was the room's dated design. At first, she was admittedly stumped by the space's black flooring, black countertop and stark paint job, none of which she found particularly inspired. Unable to change them, Anh went about brainstorming ways to make the three blend into an overall design, effectively covering them up in plain sight. Enter the Bali-inspired tropical print above. It's so in-your-face, the unstylish elements of the room seem to disappear. Scroll down to see how she did it, and enjoy! —Garrett
Photography by Anh Luu
Image above: The bathroom's look was inspired by Bali and can be summed up in these three words from Anh: "Modern jungle-icious paradise."

Wooden shelves – del Huston Designs

« JOTWELL: Campos on Brown on Mass Tort Settlements | Main | Underneath the Law Review Submission Process: Part XI More Advice for Law Review Articles Editors »
Tuesday, May 01, 2012
I want to thank Dan for the invitation to blog on PrawfsBlawg. As one whose primary appointment is in Political Science, albeit the subfield of Judicial Politics/Public law, I am somewhat of an outlier here. Of course, when I agreed to do this I had not been scheduled to teach a "Maymester" course, and now I am. I thought this would be an easier month. Wrong.
Among other duties I edit a law and court oriented Journal, The Justice System Journal. I read with great interest the recent series on Law Review Submissions by Shima Baradaran. The process is so fundamentally different than submitting to a Social Science, peer reviewed journal, that I would like to discuss this over the next several days/postings. Among other differences we operate on a single submission basis. That is, if you submit your article to us, while it is under review you cannot submit your manuscript anywhere else. Whenever I get what appears to be a law review type submission I write back to the author and remind them of this requirement. Usually it results in the withdrawal of the manuscript.
By the way, I can always tell if it is from a Law Professor or Law Professor wannabe because a CV/Resume accompanies the manuscript. This is not only unnecessary for peer review submission, but is a waste of time.
More later - Bob

|Additional Info
Wool and silk/wool do not need as much washing as cotton. These fabrics are repellent to bacterial growth and have amazing self-cleaning properties. Air these garments frequently and you will find they smell fresh for many wears
This should be gently hand washed or machine washed on a 30 deg wool cycle using a specialist detergent for delicate fabrics only.
Wool is very sensitive to both temperature and pH so never use cold water, or a cold rinse after a warm wash as this can 'shock' the wool and cause matting. It's also essential to use a proper wool detergent.
An occasional light lanolin treatment will also prolong the life and help maintain the natural waterproof and dirt resistant qualities. More more information see our washing and care section here
Spread to dry flat away from a direct heat source. They can be hung on the line to dry if they are not too wet (which may cause the garment to stretch out of shape).
For tough stains use gall soap, a powerful natural stain remover which is kind to delicate fabrics. Dab the gall soap on to the stain, leave a few minutes then wash as normal.
We don't recommend dry-cleaning any fabrics used by children due to the toxic chemical perchloroethylene which remains in the fabric after cleaning.
Pilling occurs naturally with many wool products and you can find out more about how to deal with this here.

My heart is all a Twitter for this quicky blog. If you haven't gotten the chance to check out what exactly all this chatter about the site www.Twitter.com is all about. It's worth a look see. I've fallen into the vat myself!
Twitter is an on-line blog site. Not like this one where I can droll on and on and usually do… see there I go again. Twitter gives you only 140 characters to answer one question "What are you doing?" I see the expression on your face going… Yeah, okay…
It doesn't sound like much but if you have family that lives in another place it's a great way to see what each other is doing without the gigantic phone bill. You just log on and check your page for the latest "tweets" of the people you're following. Now Twitter isn't just for the average joe. There's a lot of celebs that "tweet". Demi Moore and her hubs Ashton Kutcher are regular Twetters. Actor/author Wil Wheaton, author Steven Johnson, Tour de France multi winner Lance Armstrong, comedian/actor John Cleese, author Elise VanCise and many more can be found right here for you and I to watch the little things in their lives they're willing to share. (did you catch that shameless add with the big wigs there. tee hee.) On Twitter stars aren't off limits to their fans. You are free to give them a tweet and they may even tweet back!
You can even track headlines with CNN on Twitter or get the latest on the new exhibits at the Smithsonian. Politicians use Twitter also to chat with the masses. Senator John McCain tweets daily giving tidbits about his meetings or my personal fav the Top 10 list he gives of the hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted by the government. For example $1, 427, 250. oo for genetic improvements of switchgrass…. huh? Well that's a whole nother blog……
Even the President of the United States Tweets. Well his staff does it for him. Obama used Twitter though his campaign to keep up with the voters. The last Tweet was 43 days ago though. Brittany Spears is another Twitter but her PR staff posts the tweets. But everyone is tweeting from your neighbor, cousin, brother, mother, preacher, or teacher. All ages and social status tweet. It's a fun way to pass the time when you get on and see what your favorite people are doing right then.
One does have to be careful as with all Internet vehicles like this there are those who would, prepare for the shock, seek to deceive the people. Just like on MySpace or FaceBook there are fake celeb accounts. There is a George Bush account that is so not George. Also Sara Palin three people claim to be her and another fake Tina Fey.
Luckily this is the Internet with it's great EVIL there are some folks who combat it with some good works. There are a few sites that you can go to and verify that yes indeedy it is the person you are tweeting. Twitter Celebrities http://stuffthathappens.com/docs/faketwitter.html, is a great source of who's faking it and who's not. Tweets people…… not Harry and Sally in the cafe.
If you don't want an account you can still follow the tweets with the Twitter addy of your celeb. Or there is even a web site that tracks their tweets for you. Celebrity Tweet http://www.celebritytweet.com/, invites you to "stalk" celebs on Twitter. They have all the latest tweets on their site or if you have an account they have links to the celebrities Twitter page for you to add them to your following collection.
I would love to follow Russell Crowe, Adrian Paul, David Caruso, or Peter Wingfield. (okay, maybe not just on Twitter lol just kidding not crazy… okay, I'm crazy just not crazy that way)
Now I'm off to post this blog and then tweet links. Then I'm going to…. Well if you want to know that you'll have to go http://twitter.com/fictionrulz and find out. Yup I'm all a Twitter.
So… What are you doing?

Affymax, as one analyst put it last week, is "not dead yet."
That may not sound like a ringing endorsement, but given what has happened to the Palo Alto, CA-based biotech company (NASDAQ: AFFY) this summer, it has to count as some kind of progress. Affymax spent years of concentrated effort, and hundreds of millions of dollars, on a quest to create an anemia drug for kidney patients that could compete with Amgen's multi-billion dollar franchise treatment. On June 21, the dream appeared to fall apart.
That was when Affymax and its partner, Japan-based Takeda Pharmaceutical, released their results from four pivotal clinical trials. The studies showed that patients on the Affymax anemia drug had a higher rate of heart-related adverse events, such as congestive heart failure and unstable angina, if they had chronic kidney disease that hasn't yet required dialysis. The stock plummeted 69 percent from $23.01 before that data release, to $7.18 after investors had a full day to chew on the results. A company pursuing a multi-billion dollar market opportunity suddenly was given a stock market value of less than $200 million.
While a lot of investors clearly decided to cut bait and move on, Affymax isn't ready to give up, as analyst Chris Raymond wrote last week. Affymax had said all along that its drug, peginesatide (Hematide) had reached its goal of showing that it is at least equal in effectiveness to the Amgen's epoetin alfa (Epogen), and that it didn't see any increased heart risk in kidney patients in the final stage of disease, those who are getting dialysis treatments. Last Thursday, Affymax announced that after combing through the data with Takeda, the companies plan to discuss the results of the studies for dialysis patients with the FDA, and that it plans to submit a new drug application to the agency in the first half of 2011.
That show of confidence sent Affymax stock up 26 percent.
"People were looking for some more hand-holding," says Affymax CEO Arlene Morris, meaning that investors needed assurance that the company still had a viable way to seek FDA approval. She added that the company's fundamental business plan is still intact. "All the same conditions still exist for us in the market. We have a great opportunity to move forward."
Plenty of companies have tried to challenge Amgen's dominance in the treatment of anemia for patients undergoing kidney dialysis, and nobody has yet landed a glove on biotech's biggest company. Amgen's big breakthrough, which dates back to the 1980s, was to create a genetically engineered drug that could stimulate the body to make more oxygen-carrying red blood cells, and help combat the deep fatigue caused by anemia. The worldwide market for anemia drugs for kidney patients is worth about $7 billion in sales each year. That encompasses patients with early forms of kidney disease and patients who have worsened all the way to dialysis.
Affymax's drug is designed to work to stimulate red blood cells in a different way than Amgen's, but it is really aiming to compete from a business standpoint on convenience and price. There are currently about 400,000 patients in the U.S. on dialysis therapy, who have failing kidneys, and go in 13 times per month to facilities that perform the procedure to filter out impurities from the blood that the kidneys otherwise do. Each visit, most patients also get an injection of Amgen's epoetin alfa. The Affymax drug is designed to last longer in the bloodstream, requiring only one injection a month for anemia. This provides one less thing doctors and patients need to do during the dialysis visits, and makes for simpler insurance reimbursement procedures, Morris says. What's more important, though, is that Affymax and Takeda are considering whether to offer their drug at a lower price than Amgen's—which could provide a compelling reason for dialysis clinics to switch in an era of tightening Medicare reimbursement for kidney patients.
Affymax and Takeda are still a long way from setting the price for the anemia drug, but Morris says they could decide to offer a lower price. "People have been looking for 18 years for someone else to come into the market," Morris says. "Because it's a monopoly, they can charge whatever they want."
Before any of that can come to fruition, Affymax and Takeda will have to make a compelling case to the FDA that their drug deserves a spot on the market. The agency has spent a lot of time and energy thinking about the risks and benefits of the drugs made by Amgen, after a series of safety warnings came out in 2007 alerted doctors to higher risk of heart attack, stroke and death when those treatments are used in high doses. That whole debacle chopped $29 billion off of Amgen's market valuation that year. While Amgen suffered through that period, Affymax was crafting its game plan, beginning its series of four pivotal studies that ended up enrolling 2,609 patients with kidney disease at varying degrees of severity.
The first look at the data, as mentioned above, wasn't encouraging to investors. Affymax and Takeda looked at a composite safety score on cardiovascular health, which combined death, stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure, unstable angina, and arrhythmia. On that important measurement, 21.6 percent of non-dialysis patients had an adverse event while on the Affymax/Takeda product. That compared with 17.1 percent of patients on the Amgen drug.
While that made the new drug look like a riskier choice, the situation was reversed when Affymax and Takeda looked at patients in the end stage of kidney disease (dialysis). In those patients, 22.8 percent on the Affymax drug had a cardiovascular adverse event, while 24.4 percent had one while taking the Amgen product.
Affymax was "obviously surprised," Morris says, to see the higher rate of cardiovascular adverse events in the non-dialysis patients. And after weeks of digging into the data, she said the companies still haven't determined exactly why that happened. Affymax and Takeda aren't planning to seek FDA approval for the non-dialysis patient population, although Morris wouldn't quite go so far as to say the product has no future for those patients.
Researchers have floated at least one hypothesis that Morris shared with me. The idea is that many kidney disease patients also coincidentally have heart trouble, and many of them die from it before they ever progress all the way to end-stage renal disease (dialysis). That means the dialysis patient population is naturally self-selected to be people with hardy cardiovascular health, and less likely to be perturbed by an anemia therapy.
Really, though, it's just an idea, not iron-clad evidence. "We're still trying to look at what happened in the pre-dialysis population," Morris says.
Missing out on the pre-dialysis population means that Affymax could miss a significant part of the opportunity with its anemia drug. About three-fourths of the kidney disease market for anemia drugs comes from dialysis patients, while the remaining one-fourth comes from the pre-dialysis patient population, Morris says. Analyst Chris Raymond, in a note to clients on Aug. 5, said that Affymax's dialysis-only strategy is "plausible."
"Given our estimation that dialysis alone supports a valuation in the $20 range, we continue to recommend purchase," Raymond wrote.
If Affymax files its application in the first half of 2011, it will almost surely have to pass the scrutiny of a public advisory panel that will want to look closely at the safety of its product. Since there's already an effective drug on the market for these patients, it's likely to get a standard 10-month review. It could be well into 2012 before the company could have this drug on the U.S. market, if it ever gets there. But key research leaders in the treatment of kidney disease and cardiology are "almost universally supportive" of Affymax's plan to seek FDA approval for treating dialysis patients, Raymond wrote. And the safety questions that were raised by the other pre-dialysis trials may not actually derail the drug like investors thought when the data first appeared on June 21.
"While FDA certainly won't ignore the pre-dialysis data, the agency has indicated they consider these patient populations to be completely separate," Raymond wrote.
It will probably take a couple years to really know if this strategy pans out or not. But it's at least a viable option—and a lot more viable than investors thought at first blush, Morris says.
"I'm happy with where we are," she says.

Hyper-V Guest Virtual Machines Fail to Start on Dell Optiplex 960
So, when I first started working for Microsoft, my manager approved an awesome Dell OptiPlex 960 with tons of RAM and CPU so that I would be able to have an AWESOME testng environment. So…ummmm…over one year later…I am ready to start using it to actually do something. I install Windows 2008 Server R2 Enterprise and I'm ready to start deploying my virtual machines, and what happens:
"VM Name" could not be initialized.
The virtual machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running.
Here are the BIOS setting that I had to configure:
Restart the System, during the boot process, press F12, and select "System Setup" to go set the BIOS parameters. Then do the below:
- Under Security -> Enable CPU XD ( aka Execute Disable)-> set to ON -> click "Apply"
- Under Performance –Virtualization -> set to ON -> click "Apply"
- Under Performance –VT for Direct I/O Access -> set to ON -> click "Apply"
- Under Performance –Trusted Execution -> set to Off -> click "Apply"
"Save & Exit," power off the machine and remove the power plug for 30 secs, plug it back in, and power the system back on.
You should now be able to start your Virtual Machines from the Hyper-V console without error…

A man was jailed for four months today after torturing a cat by putting it in a microwave, a tumble drier and a freezer.
Colin Sherlock, who had been drinking, laughed as a friend filmed him on a mobile phone picking up the young cat, called Roxy, and putting her in each of the appliances in turn.
He started by placing the cat into the microwave and turned it on for eight seconds. Roxy spent seven seconds in the tumble drier, and was then put in a freezer for 20 seconds before being taken out and dunked into a bowl of washing up water.
The cruelty came to light because the footage was sent to friends and one recipient was so shocked she took it to the police.
Sherlock, 44, of Teignmouth, Devon, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a cat and was jailed for 126 days at Torquay magistrates court.
Magistrate Marigold Seager-Berry told him: "The offence is so serious that only custody is justified because of the high level of cruelty imposed on the cat. It caused serious harm and torture to a domestic cat, causing it lasting mental trauma."
John Wyatt, prosecuting, said Roxy had been too cold to run away when she was taken out of the freezer. The animal, which belonged to one of Sherlock's relatives, is now "extremely nervous" having suffered "serious mental trauma".
Wyatt added: "Sherlock was interviewed and admitted responsibility but said he could not explain his behaviour other than to say he had been drinking."
Alisdair James, defending, said Sherlock was "gutted" by what he had done.
Jim Farr, an RSPCA inspector, said: "I am pleased with the sentence. It sends out a clear message that anyone who carries out acts of cruelty will face justice.
"Roxy is now in foster care because of the after effects of this trauma and she is not yet ready to be rehomed. She is progressing well but there may be long term effects of being put into the microwave."
The case has echoes of "cat bin woman" Mary Bale. She was given a £250 fine last month for seizing a cat and dropping it into a wheelie bin in Coventry.
Bale, a 45-year-old former bank worker, became reviled around the world, receiving abusive phone calls and death threats from as far afield as Australia, after what she described as a "split second of misjudgment" – which was captured on CCTV and uploaded to YouTube.

The Canadian content on Cratery is at an all-time high. Could be the influence of our bi-coastal brethren Sipreano and Birdapres. It could be a desire to snatch up that local shit for trade leverage. Or an overwhelming source of national pride (It's probably not the last one). The CANCON on this month's episode arrives courtesy of 3 tripped out artists from Quebec: Guy Rheaume, Sex and Les Champignons. So much incredible music was recorded in Quebec in the 60's and 70's. Sadly, much of it remains unknown. We do venture outside of La Belle Province with selections like Irene Kral's "Wheelers and Dealers", a recent vocal jazz discovery I found in a local spot for $6. Kaewonder reminds us not to sleep on the Carla Thomas catalog (as does Madlib) and DJ Serious unearths a randomly alternate version of George Benson's "The Changing World" (without the 'I used to love H.E.R. sample). Cratery 43, bitches. Stream it or download below.
1. Irene Kral – Wheelers and dealers
2. Guy Rheaume – Ca Tourne
3. Tim Maia – Joao Coragem
4. Premiere Capsule – Folies du Mercredi

Gliss at Spaceland
I neglected to publish a list of bands to watch in 2009. If I did, Gliss would most certainly be included as they prepare to release their new album Devotion Implosion in April. A few preview tunes have made an appearance on itunes with the tantalizing cover shot of a Fender Jazzmaster. This cover crosses into hollowed ground by invoking the sonic spirit of My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless.
Gliss popped up on my radar back in December of 2006 when they played a KROQ Locals Only show. Feeling a bit under the weather, I soldiered out to Spaceland in the inclement climate for a thundering set by the dynamic trio. Spaceland was bustling with a number of people who had arrived early dispelling the myth that Los Angeles folks don't go out when it rains.
Gliss lived up to their cover art when Martin Klingman (Vocals/Guitars/Drums/Bass) unsheathed a Fender Jazzmaster from his guitar case for the shimmering chords of "The Patrol". I knew Gliss would debut some new songs, but I was unprepared for 8 of the 9 songs to be brand new. David Reiss (Guitars/Bass) would eventually get his turn on the Fender Jazzmaster as Gliss is renowned for switching off instruments throughout their set.
A buzzy bass line dictated "Morning Light" which immediately caught my ear but I would later by overwhelmed by jagged guitars and ethereal vocal harmonies washing over me. It was difficult to digest all the songs because I was pleasantly surprised by each song and the various shifts in tone and style between each song.
"Love Songs" was another newer song that I seemed to remember hearing before back at the Viper Room in 2007. "Blue Sky" was immediately recognizable with its crashing hi-hat pattern and howling guitars. The set winded down with the atmospheric "Sister Sister". Gliss will be heading down to SXSW but I will be keeping my eyes peeled for any other local dates.
Gliss setlist at Spaceland (2/6/09)
"The Patrol"
"Morning Light"
"Anybody Inside"
"29 Acts of Love"
"Love Songs"
"Blue Sky"
"Sister Sister"
