Quarterly Report
The following discussion and analysis should be read with the financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013. It is intended to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating our financial position.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein contain "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q, statements that are not statements of current or historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "plan", "intend", "may," "will," "expect," "believe", "could," "anticipate," "estimate," or "continue" or similar expressions or other variations or comparable terminology are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans or objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the broader description of forward-looking statements above, we specifically note, without limitation, that statements regarding the preliminary nature of the clinical program results and the potential for further product development, that involve known and unknown risks, delays, uncertainties and other factors not under our control, the requirement of substantial future testing, clinical trials, regulatory reviews and approvals by the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory authorities prior to the commercialization of products under development, and our ability to manufacture and sell any products, gain market acceptance, earn a profit from sales or licenses of any drugs or our ability to discover new drugs in the future, are all forward-looking in nature. These risks and other factors are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Any reference to "Elite", the "Company", "we", "us", "our" or the "Registrant" refers to Elite Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its subsidiaries.
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company principally engaged in the development and manufacture of oral, controlled-release products, using proprietary know-how and technology, particularly as it relates to abuse resistant products. Our strategy includes improving off-patent drug products for life cycle management and developing generic versions of controlled-release drug products with high barriers to entry.
We own, license or contract manufacture eight products currently being sold
commercially, as follows:
· Phentermine 37.5mg tablets ("Phentermine 37.5mg")
· Lodrane D® Immediate Release capsules ("Lodrane D")
· Methadone 10mg tablets ("Methadone 10mg")
· Hydromorphone Hydrochloride 8mg tablets ("Hydromorphone 8mg")
· Phendimetrazine tartrate 35mg tablets ("Phendimetrazine 35mg")
· Phentermine 15mg capsules ("Phentermine 15mg")
· Phentermine 30mg capsules ("Phentermine 30mg")
· Naltrexone HCl 50mg tablets ("Naltrexone 50mg")
We also recently acquired approved Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDAs") for 12 products (the "Mikah Approved ANDAs") and one ANDA that is under active review with the FDA (the "Mikah ANDA Application Product") that were acquired pursuant to the asset purchase agreement with Mikah Pharma dated August 1, 2013 (the "Mikah Asset Purchase Agreement"). On October 2, 2013, we executed a Manufacturing and License Agreement (the "Epic Agreement") with Epic Pharma LLC. ("Epic"), to manufacture, market and sell in the United States and Puerto Rico 12 generic products owned by Elite. Of the 12 products, Epic will have the exclusive right to market six products as listed in Schedule A of the Epic Agreement, and a non-exclusive right to market six products as listed in Schedule D of the Epic Agreement. Epic is responsible for all regulatory and pharmacovigilance matters related to the products and for all costs related to the site transfer for all products. Pursuant to the Epic Agreement, Elite will receive a license fee and milestone payments. The license fee will be computed as a percentage of the gross profit, as defined in the Epic Agreement, earned by Epic as a result of sales of the products. The manufacturing cost used for the calculation of the license fee is a predetermined amount per unit plus the cost of the drug substance (API) and the sales cost for the calculation is predetermined based on net sales. If Elite manufactures any product for sale by Epic, then Epic shall pay that same predetermined manufacturing cost per unit plus the cost of the API. The license fee is payable monthly for the term of the Epic Agreement. Epic shall pay to Elite certain milestone payments as defined by the Epic Agreement. The first milestone payment is due on or before November 15, 2013. Subsequent milestone payments are due upon the filing of each product's supplement with the FDA and the FDA approval of site transfer for each product as specifically itemized in the Epic Agreement. The term of the Epic Agreement is five years and may be extended for an additional five years upon mutual agreement of the parties. Twelve months following the launch of a product covered by the Epic Agreement, Elite may terminate the marketing rights for any product if the license fee paid by Epic falls below a designated amount for a six month period of that product. Elite may also terminate the exclusive marketing rights if Epic is unable to meet the annual unit volume forecast for a designated Product group for any year, subject to the ability of Epic, during the succeeding six month period, to achieve at least one-half of the prior year's minimum annual unit volume forecast. The Epic Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement of Elite and Epic, as a result of a breach by either party that is not cured within 60 days notice of the breach or by Elite as a result of Epic becoming a party to a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding that continues for a period of 30 days or more.
For further details on the Mikah Asset Purchase Agreement, Mikah Approved ANDAs and Mikah ANDA Application Product, please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 5, 2013 and herein incorporated by reference. For further details on the Epic Agreement, please refer to exhibit 10.17 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 8, 2013, both filings being herein incorporated by reference.
Elite has executed a license agreement with Precision Dose, Inc. (the "Precision Dose License Agreement") and a manufacturing agreement with The PharmaNetwork LLC (the "TPN Agreement"). The PharmaNetwork LLC was recently purchased by Alkem Laboratories Ltd ("Alkem"). The PharmaNetwork now goes by the name Ascend Laboratories LLC ("Ascend") and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alkem.
The Precision Dose License Agreement provides for the marketing and distribution, in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, of Phentermine 37.5mg, Phentermine Capsules, Hydromorphone 8mg, Naltrexone Generic, and certain additional products that require approval from the FDA. Phentermine 37.5mg tablets were launched in April 2011. Hydromorphone 8mg was launched in March 2012. Phentermine 15mg and Phentermine 30mg were launched in April 2013. Naltrexone 50mg was launched in September 2013.
The TPN Agreement, executed on June 23, 2011, and amended on September 24, 2012, provides for the manufacture and packaging by the Company of Ascend's methadone hydrochloride, 10mg tablets ("Methadone 10mg"), with the Methadone 10mg to be marketed by Ascend. The FDA has approved the manufacturing of Methadone 10mg at the Northvale Facility and the initial shipment of Methadone 10mg occurred during January 2012.
In addition, Elite also has an undisclosed generic product filed with the FDA that is awaiting review and for which Elite retains all rights.
The Company also has a pipeline of additional generic drug candidates under active development.
Additionally, the Company is developing abuse resistant opioid products, and once-daily opioid products.
On May 22, 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") issued U.S. Patent No. 8,182,836, entitled "Abuse-Resistant Oral Dosage Forms and Method of Use Thereof, with such patent providing further protection for the Company's Abuse Resistant Technology.
On April 23, 2013, the USPTO issued U.S. Patent No. 8,425,933, entitled "Abuse-Resistant Oral Dosage Forms and Method of User Thereof", with such patent providing further protection for the Company's Abuse Resistant Technology.
The Northvale Facility operates under Current Good Manufacturing Practice ("cGMP") and is a United States Drug Enforcement Agency ("DEA") registered facility for research, development and manufacturing.
Elite is focusing its efforts on the following areas: (i) development of Elite's pain management products; (ii) manufacturing of a line of generic pharmaceutical products with approved ANDAs; (iii) development of additional generic pharmaceutical products; (iv) development of the other products in our pipeline including the products with our partners; (v) commercial exploitation of our products either by license and the collection of royalties, or through the manufacture of our formulations; and (vi) development of new products and the expansion of our licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies, including co-development projects, joint ventures and other collaborations.
Elite is focusing on the development of various types of drug products, including branded drug products which require new drug applications ("NDAs") under Section 505(b)(1) or 505(b)(2) of the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the " Drug Price Competition Act ") as well as generic drug products which require ANDAs.
Elite believes that its business strategy enables it to reduce its risk by having a diverse product portfolio that includes both branded and generic products in various therapeutic categories and to build collaborations and establish licensing agreements with companies with greater resources thereby allowing us to share costs of development and improve cash-flow.
Commercial Products
On April 7, 2011, Elite made the initial shipment of phentermine HCl 37.5 mg tablets to TAGI. This triggered a milestone payment under the Precision Dose License Agreement. Phentermine 15mg and Phentermine 30mg were launched in April 2013. Phentermine 37.5mg tablets and Phentermine 15mg and 30mg capsules are now a commercial product being distributed by our partner, TAGI.
Lodrane D® Immediate Release capsules
On September 27, 2011, the Company, along with ECR Pharmaceuticals ("ECR"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hi-Tech Pharmacal ("Hi-Tech") launched Lodrane D®, an immediate release formulation of brompheniramine maleate and pseudoephedrine HCl, an effective, low-sedating antihistamine combined with a decongestant.
Lodrane D® is promoted and distributed in the U.S. by ECR, Hi-Tech's branded division. Lodrane D® is available over-the-counter but also has physician promotion. Lodrane D® is the one of the only adult brompheniramine containing products available to the consumer at this time.
Lodrane D® is marketed under the Over-the-Counter Monograph (the "OTC Monograph") and accordingly, under the Code of Federal Regulations can be lawfully marketed in the US without prior approval. Under the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"), FDA regulations and statements of FDA policy, certain drug products are permitted to be marketed in the U.S. without prior approval. Within the past few years, the FDA has revised its enforcement policies, significantly limiting the circumstances under which these unapproved products may be marketed. If the FDA determines that a company is distributing an unapproved product that requires approval, the FDA may take enforcement action in a variety of ways, including, without limitation, product seizures and seeking a judicial injunction against distribution.
Elite is manufacturing the product for ECR and will receive revenues for the manufacturing, packaging and laboratory stability study services for the product, as well as royalties on sales. The current U.S. allergy market exceeds $3.5 billion.
Methadone 10mg tablets
On January 17, 2012, Elite commenced shipping Methadone 10mg tablets to Ascend Laboratories, LLC. ("Ascend") pursuant to a commercial manufacturing and supply agreement dated June 23, 2011 between Elite and Ascend (the "Methadone Manufacturing and Supply Agreement"). Under the terms of the Methadone Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, Elite performs manufacturing and packaging of Methadone 10mg for Ascend.
Hydromorphone 8mg tablets
On March 13, 2012, Elite commenced shipping Hydromorphone 8mg to TAGI Pharma. This triggered a milestone payment under the License, Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with Precision Dose. Hydromorphone 8mg is now a commercial product being distributed by our partner, TAGI Pharma.
Phendimetrazine Tartrate 35 mg tablets
On November 13, 2012, the Company made the initial shipment of Phendimetrazine Tartrate 35mg tablets, the generic equivalent of Bontril PDM® 35mg tablets under a previously announced manufacturing and supply agreement with Mikah Pharma ("Mikah").
As part of the Mikah Asset Purchase Agreement, the ANDA for Phendimetrazine Tartrate 35mg tablets was acquired by the Company.
The Company is currently assessing various options with regards to the commercial marketing and distribution of this product.
Bontril PDM® and its generic equivalents had total U.S. sales of approximately $3.5 million for the twelve months ended September 2012, based on IMS Health Data. The Company will be compensated at an agreed upon price for the manufacturing and packaging of this product.
Naltrexone HCl 50mg tablets
On September 18, 2013, the Company made the initial shipment of naltrexone hydrochloride 50 mg tablets under the License, Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with its sales and marketing partner, triggering a milestone payment. Elite's sales and marketing partner will distribute the product as part of a multi-product distribution agreement.
Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist used primarily in the management of alcohol dependence and opioid dependence. For the calendar year 2012, Revia (naltrexone hydrochloride tablets) and its generic equivalents had total U.S. sales of approximately $16 million according to IMS Health Data.
A current report on Form 8-K was filed with the SEC on September 18, 2013, such filing being herein incorporated by reference.
Approved Products
Elite is the owner of the following approved Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDA's"):
· Phentermine HCl 37.5mg tablets ("Phentermine 37.5mg")
· Hydromorphone HCl 8mg tablets ("Hydromorphone 8mg")
· Naltrexone HCl 50mg tablets ("Naltrexone 50mg")
· Phentermine HCl 15mg capsules ("Phentermine 15mg")
· Phentermine HCl 30mg capsules ("Phentermine 30mg")
· Phendimetrazine Tartrate 35mg tablets ("Phendimetrazine 35mg")
In addition, Elite is the owner of the Mikah Approved ANDA's that were acquired pursuant to the Mikah Asset Purchase Agreement. Each ANDA included in the Mikah Approved ANDA's requires site transfer approval with the FDA for the commencement of commercial manufacturing. The Company believes that the site transfers qualify for a CBE 30 review, with one exception, which would allow for the product manufacturing transfer on an expedited basis. However, the Company can give no assurances that the site transfers will qualify for a CBE 30 review, or on the timing of these transfers and the timing is dependent on the FDA reviews. The Mikah Approved ANDA's include pain, antipsychotic, hypertension, antihistamine, bariatric and muscle relaxant products. Included in the Mikah Approved ANDA's are two products for which there is currently only one other generic competitor.
Phentermine HCl 37.5mg tablets
The ANDA for Phentermine 37.5mg was acquired pursuant to an asset purchase agreement with Epic Pharma LLC ("Epic") dated September 10, 2010 (the "Phentermine Purchase Agreement").
Hydromorphone HCl 8mg tablets
The ANDA for Hydromorphone 8mg was acquired pursuant to an asset purchase agreement with Mikah Pharma LLC (the "Hydromorphone Purchase Agreement").
Transfer of the manufacturing process of Hydromorphone 8mg to the Northvale Facility, a prerequisite of the Company's commercial launch of the product, was approved by the FDA on January 23, 2012. However, please note that the completion of such transfer had been significantly delayed as a result of the FDA's reclassification of the Company's CBE-30 supplement filing to a prior approval supplement filing. As a result of the delays caused by this reclassification, the Company recorded an impairment of the Hydromorphone 8mg ANDA in an amount equal to the entire purchase price of the acquisition. This impairment was recorded and is included in the Company's audited financial statements as of March 31, 2011.
Naltrexone HCl 50mg tablets
The ANDA for Naltrexone 50mg was acquired pursuant to an asset purchase agreement with Mikah Pharma LLC (the "Naltrexone Purchase Agreement").
Transfer of the manufacturing process of Naltrexone 50mg to the Northvale Facility is a prerequisite of the Company's commercial launch of the product. The completion of such transfer had been significantly delayed as a result of the FDA's reclassification of the Company's CBE-30 supplement filing to a prior approval supplement filing. However, on January 31, 2013, the FDA approved the Company's supplemental application for the manufacturing and packaging of naltrexone hydrochloride 50mg tablets. This approval will allow the Company to commence the commercial manufacturing and packaging of this product for its sales and marketing partner, which will distribute the product as part of a multi-product distribution agreement. As a result of the prior delays caused by this reclassification, the Company has recorded an impairment of the Naltrexone 50mg ANDA in an amount equal to the entire purchase price of the acquisition. This impairment was recorded and is included in the Company's audited financial statements as of March 31, 2011.
Phentermine 15mg and Phentermine 30mg
Elite received approval as of September 28, 2012 from the US-FDA for Phentermine 15mg and Phentermine 30mg. These products were developed by Elite. The commercial launch of Phentermine 15mg and Phentermine 30mg had been delayed due to the sole supplier of the API approved for these products restricting the amount of such API available to Elite. We resolved this issue and the Phentermine 15mg and Phentermine 30mg products were launched in April 2013. The resolution of this issue related to the supply of API, however, required us to pay substantially higher prices than previously paid for the Phentermine API. Elite anticipates that some of the increase in API pricing could be offset with increase manufacturing efficiencies, but also that volumes and profits from these products will be impaired.
Phendimetrazine 35mg
The ANDA for Phendimetrazine 35mg was included as one of the 13 products acquired pursuant to the Mikah Asset Purchase Agreement.
The Northvale Facility had previously been approved as a manufacturing site for this product, with commercial production commencing in 2012 and initial shipment of this product being made in November 2012, pursuant to a manufacturing and supply agreement between the Company and Mikah dated June 1, 2011.
The Company is now the owner of this ANDA and is assessing various marketing and distribution options.
Contract Manufacturing of Isradipine and Phendimetrazine On June 1, 2011, Elite executed a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the "Phendimetrazine Agreement") with Mikah Pharma, LLC ("Mikah") to undertake and perform certain services relating to two generic products: Isradipine Capsules USP, 2.5 mg and 5 mg ("Isradipine") and Phendimetrazine Tartrate Tablets USP, 35 mg ("Phendimetrazine").
On September 21, 2012, the Phendimetrazine Agreement was amended to remove Isradipine from the agreement, due to the discontinuance of development activities related to Isradipine.
On August 9, 2013, the Isradipine/Phendimetrazine Agreement was terminated by the written agreement of both parties, as a result of the Mikah Asset Purchase Agreement making the Phendimetrazine Agreement not relevant.
Development and License Agreement with Hong Kong based company On March 16, 2012, Elite executed a Development and License Agreement ("D&L Agreement") with a private Hong Kong-based company (the "Hong Kong-based Customer") for Elite to develop for the Hong Kong-based Customer a branded prescription pharmaceutical product in the United States. The Hong Kong-based Customer has informed us that it has been in business for more than five years and it has multiple FDA approved manufacturing sites outside of the United States.
Pursuant to the D&L Agreement, the Hong Kong-based Customer has engaged Elite to develop and manufacture a prescription pharmaceutical product (the "Prescription Product"). Elite agrees to be the Preferred Manufacturer and supplier of the Prescription Product pursuant to the D&L Agreement and perform maintenance activities such as stability or annual report filings for the Prescription Product. The Hong Kong-based Customer, or its designees, shall prepare all applications necessary to obtain any Prescription Product registration and permits required to file the Prescription Product in the Territories required to market the Prescription Product. All Registrations shall be solely owned by the Hong Kong-based Customer including any NDA filed with the FDA for the Prescription Product. Elite shall provide the Hong Kong-based Customer with all pharmaceutical, technical, and clinical data and information in support of the NDA application by the Hong Kong-based Customer for the approval of the Prescription Product. In consideration of Elite's performance in accordance with the terms and conditions of the D&L Agreement, the Hong Kong-based Customer shall pay Elite milestone for the Development Program and shall pay Elite for the manufacturing of the Prescription Product. Maintenance activities will be paid separately on a quarterly basis.
The Hong Kong-based Customer shall own and market the Prescription Product under its own Trademark. The term of this D&L Agreement shall be effective from the date consummated and shall continue for a five (5) year term after the commercial launch of the Prescription Product. Upon the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, this D&L Agreement will automatically renew for an additional one (1) year term, unless one Party gives at least six (6) months notice in writing in advance of its intent not to renew.
Discontinued Products - Lodrane 24® and Lodrane 24D® On March 3, 2011, the FDA announced its intention to remove approximately 500 cough/cold and allergy related products from the U.S. market. The once daily allergy products manufactured by Elite, Lodrane 24® and Lodrane 24D® (the "Lodrane® Extended Release Products"), were included in the FDA list of 500 products. After this announcement by the FDA, the Company's customer for the Lodrane® Extended Release Products cancelled all outstanding orders and manufacturing of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products has ceased. The shipments made during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 consisted solely of quantities that were in production at the time ECR cancelled all outstanding orders. There were no shipments of the Lodrane Extended Release Products subsequent to those that were made during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
ECR (the owner and marketer of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products) initiated a formal approval process with the FDA in 2010 regarding the Lodrane® Extended Release Products and issued a press release on March 3, 2011 stating that they will continue to actively pursue approval for the Lodrane® Extended Release Products. In addition, on April 29, 2011, ECR filed a Petition for Review with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, petitioning such court to review and set aside the final order of the FDA with relation to the Lodrane® Extended Release Products. The Company has received no further information from ECR with regards to the status of the Petition filed.
The Lodrane® Extended Release Products were co-developed with our partner, ECR, and the Company was receiving revenues from the manufacture of the Lodrane® Products and laboratory stability study services, as well as royalties on in-market sales. Contracts relating to the manufacture and sale of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products were formally terminated on April 26, 2013.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, Elite made its final shipments of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products. In addition, the Company sold to ECR, at cost without markup, all raw materials related to the manufacture of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products which remained in stock subsequent to the final shipment of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products. As manufacturing of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products has ceased, there will be no further manufacturing revenues derived from the Lodrane® Extended Release Products unless and until such products receive the necessary approvals from the FDA.
Please note that there can be no assurances that such approvals will be granted or that future manufacturing revenues will be earned by the Company from the manufacture of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products, should such approvals be granted by the FDA. Furthermore, the Company has been advised that ECR has decided not to proceed with the development of the extended release formulations marketed under the Lodrane® brand. The company has received FDA feedback on clinical protocols for the extended release brompheniramine product. The Company may proceed with the development of these formulations and may seek partners in conjunction with such activities, but there can be no assurances that the Company will pursue the development of these formulations, or that such development activities, if pursued, will result in approvals from the FDA. Please also note that the Company does not have ownership of the Lodrane® brand name, and that if any products containing the formulations associated with the Lodrane® brand name are approved and marketed, such would be done under a different brand name.
While Elite's manufacturing of the Lodrane® Extended Release Products has ceased, the sale of such products in the US market was still permitted by the FDA until August 30, 2011. The Company earned royalties on any in-market sales that occurred up to that date.
Contract laboratory services for the Lodrane® Extended Products will continue, on a residual basis, as such services consist of stability studies that must be . . .

Flashback to Sociedad under Toshack
Man United travel to Sociedad for a Champions League tie this week, the Spanish club some football fans will remember being managed by John Toshack during three separate spells.
The Welshman's first stint in charge saw him transform Sociedad's fortunes in the late 80s, finishing as runners-up in La Liga and Copa del Rey.
Here, we look back at an ITV feature on Sociedad during the 1987/88 season.

Years ago, I can remember my teachers quoting 2 Timothy 2:15 in the classic King James Version: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Their emphasis was on the word study, but they were actually misinterpreting the meaning of the word.
The New Oxford American Dictionary on my computer offers three different definitions for study. When most of us use this word today, we think of the first use listed: "devote time and attention to acquiring knowledge on (an academic subject), especially by means of books: she studied biology and botany." Certainly, this is what my teachers meant, but this meaning is not what the word study means in 2 Timothy 2:15 as rendered by the King James Version.
As anyone with a keyed version of the KJV in Accordance can determine, the English word study translates the Greek word σπουδάζω/spoudazo, which means "to use speed, i.e. to make an effort, be prompt or earnest:--do (give) diligence, be diligent (forward), endeavor, labour, study" (Greek Strong's). This fits the third definition for study in The New Oxford American Dictionary: "archaic: make an effort to achieve (a result) or take into account (a person or their wishes).
And it just so happens that if you're the kind of person who wants to "make an effort" to gain a better foundation in apologetics or theology, this week's new titles are for you. Six new titles are now available allowing you to "study to shew thyself approved."
Atheism Remix: A Christian Confronts the New Atheists
Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, and Hitchens—these are the "new atheists." Atheism has always been with us, but it has taken on a new flavor in recent years. In this volume, Al Mohler examines the thought of the new atheists and equips Christians to effectively interact with those who follow them.
Creation and the Courts: Eighty Years of Conflict in the Classroom and the Courtroom
Renowned apologist Norman L. Geisler traces the history of creation vs. evolution battles in the courts since the famous Scopes Trial of 1925. Examining a total of six significant trials in the last eight decades, Geisler not only makes observations about the declining state of Christian influence in education and civil discussion, he also helps the believer understand which issues are truly worth fighting for in this debate.
Nothing But the Truth: Upholding the Gospel in a Doubting Age
1 Peter 3:15 states, "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence" (NASB). In Nothing but the Truth, John MacArthur examines what it means to put this verse into regular practice. To equip the believer to interact with a secular culture, John MacArthur focuses on four specific elements of evangelism in today's world: your attitude, your preparedness, the content of your answers, and your priority in witnessing.
The Consequences of Ideas: Understand the Concepts that Shaped Our World
Used by many as an introductory text for philosophy courses, R. C. Sproul takes the reader on a historical journey in The Consequences of Ideas from classical Greek philosophy to the influence of Darwin and Freud in our world today. Whether we realize it or not, the ideas of Plato, Augustine, Locke, Hume, and many others still influence us in significant ways in the modern world. Sproul suggests that ideas are never neutral; but rather, they always have impact and consequences.
Liberating Black Theology: The Bible and the Black Experience in America
Many considered Liberation Theology to be an increasingly forgotten school of thought until the teachings of President Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, brought them back into discussion at a national level during the presidential campaign of 2008. In Liberating Black Theology, Anthony B. Bradley (professor of theology at the King's College in New York City) addresses the often controversial and sensitive issues of the black experience in America and its continued influence from Liberation Theology. From the publisher: "...Liberating Black Theology does more than consider the ramifications of this belief system; it suggests an alternate experience that can truly liberate all Christ-followers."
Experiencing the Truth: Bringing the Reformation to the African American Church
Centered around the themes of theology, preaching, worship, spirituality, and the doctrines of grace, Anthony J. Carter, Ken Jones, and Michael Leach communicate the importance of Reformed Christianity to the African American Church. In an attempt to counter the all-too-common practice of choosing a church based on felt needs, this book is an attempt to refocus this very important choice of community and fellowship upon finding a church where biblical truth and sound Christian doctrine is proclaimed.
My seminary professor had a penchant for shocking his students and challenging their assumptions with outrageous statements. One of the most shocking was this one:
"It is more important to know theology than the Bible."
Now, this was a seminary that stressed the authority of the Bible and the importance of teaching the Bible, so the idea that knowing a particular system of theology was more important than knowing one's Bible seemed absolutely blasphemous. Even more peculiar was the fact that this particular professor taught Biblical studies rather than theology, so why would he, of all people, say such a thing?
Of course, by this time we were familiar with his methods. He would say something shocking like this, let us go through a discussion fueled by outrage and protest, and then explain what he meant in a way that did not seem quite so blasphemous. In this case, he explained that it is more important to know theology than the Bible, because even if you misinterpret or misapply a particular passage of the Bible, you'll still be teaching sound Biblical doctrine.
Over the years I have thought often about my professor's dictum, and I've begun to see the importance of the point he was trying to make.
First, he was cautioning us not to be arrogant in our teaching of the Bible—not to fall into the trap of looking at a particular passage in isolation, coming up with some innovative interpretation, and then throwing out or modifying historic Christian teaching in the light of our new "Biblical" insight. He was reminding us not to despise centuries of work by careful theologians who sought to understand what the entire Bible teaches.
Second, he was reminding his class of mostly future pastors that their congregations need sound doctrine. The temptation of more academically-oriented preachers is to delve into all kinds of obscure and fascinating elements of the Biblical text. Yet their congregations are not seeking advanced degrees in Biblical studies; they're seeking to understand and apply the teaching of the Bible to their lives. My professor wasn't urging pastors to preach through a systematic theology, but to be reminded by the theologians how to communicate the great truths of the Bible.
In his new book, Everyone's a Theologian, R.C. Sproul explains that everyone engages in systematic theology—whether we realize it or not.
Many people believe that theological study holds little value. They say, "I don't need theology; I just need to know Jesus." Yet theology is unavoidable for every Christian. It is our attempt to understand the truth that God has revealed to us—something every Christian does. So it is not a question of whether we are going to engage in theology; it is a question of whether our theology is sound or unsound. It is important to study and learn because God has taken great pains to reveal Himself to His people. He gave us a book, one that is not meant to sit on a shelf pressing dried flowers, but to be read, searched, digested, studied, and chiefly to be understood.
Sproul goes on to present a brief overview of systematic theology from a broadly Reformed, evangelical perspective. His summary of each doctrine is quite brief, but it's enough for the busy pastor to brush up on a given theological subject. It's also a great primer for anyone who has never studied theology in a systematic way. Everyone's a Theologian is only $14.99.
While I still don't entirely agree with my professor's dictum that it is more important to know theology than the Bible, I certainly recognize the importance of studying theology. What about you? How has studying theology helped you better understand what the Bible teaches?

Chafer-Theology: the entire original 8 volume set by Louis Sperry Chafer was just released for download for only $139.
Dr. Lewis S. Chafer (1871-1952) was the founding president of Dallas Theological Seminary and its first professor of Systematic Theology. When he completed his massive eight volume Systematic Theology after more than ten years of labor, he produced the first Calvinist, dispensational, pre-millennial and pre-tribulational theology. Chafer's warm spirituality, his love of the Bible and his devotion to a simple Christian life permeate its pages. The strength of the work lies not in its interaction with scholarly sources, but in its many citations of Scripture and its organization of it into classic theological categories.
Göttingen Septuagint: It's taken a little longer than we hoped, but the first volume of the series is now available for download. This is the definitive critical edition of the LXX. We plan to release further volumes until we catch up with the ongoing publication of the print edition.
Our modules of the Göttingen LXX include the fully tagged Greek text together with the complete apparatus, available nowhere else in convenient electronic form, a must for every Old Testament scholar.
Genesis is available for $100, or you can order the Pentateuch set for $400.

- The Bottom Line
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection of the lungs and respiratory system. One third of the world's people are infected with TB, and along with HIV, TB is one of the world's leading causes of death due to disease. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that, in 2011, close to nine million people became sick with TB and over 1.4 million died from TB worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 2.9 million women became sick with TB in 2012.
In the US, the number of new TB cases reported each year has been going down since 1993. According to the CDC, the number of TB cases reported in 2012 was the lowest that is has been since reporting began in 1953.
TB is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads from person to person when an infected person coughs, sneezes, laughs, or spits. Tiny droplets of fluid from the lungs are carried in the air and can be breathed in by someone nearby. Although it can affect many parts of the body, TB usually occurs in the lungs.
Forms of TB
Not everyone who is infected with TB bacteria develops "active" disease.
- Latent TB - Most people with healthy immune systems can fight off TB bacteria, even after they breathe them in and are infected. People with latent or inactive TB have no symptoms. They neither feel sick nor spread the disease to other people. In some people, TB stays latent or inactive for their entire lives. But in other people, latent TB turns into active disease if their immune system is damaged or weakened, through things like HIV infection, cancer, or transplant surgery that requires taking drugs to suppress the immune system.
- Active TB - Some people infected with TB develop active disease. Active TB usually causes symptoms like coughing and weight loss. People with active TB can spread it to others. Active TB may develop either soon after infection or years later when a person's immune system becomes weaker.
TB and HIV
People with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop active TB disease. This includes people living with HIV (HIV+), children, elderly people, and people who take drugs that suppress the immune system. Research shows that people living with HIV are at least ten times more likely to develop active TB disease than HIV-negative people. You can develop active TB with any CD4 count. Studies also show that TB can worsen HIV disease progression. Having active TB disease while HIV+ is an AIDS-defining condition.
Worldwide, TB is the leading cause of death in HIV+ people. The WHO estimates that one third of the 40 million people living with HIV worldwide are infected with TB. The CDC recommends that you be screened every year for TB if you are HIV+ by having a skin or blood test (see "Diagnosing TB," below).
Preventing TB
TB is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes or spits. It usually takes a long time for TB transmission to occur. Family members of people with TB, people living in the same house, health-care workers, and people who live in residential facilities like homeless shelters and prisons are most likely to get TB. People with latent (not active) TB do not spread the disease. Once a person with active TB starts treatment (see "TB Treatment" below), they usually cannot spread the disease after two to three weeks on treatment.
People with active TB should be separated from others until they can no longer spread the disease. If you have TB or spend time around people with TB, wear a disposable face mask. Certain types of air filters can trap the TB bacteria, and ultraviolet light can kill it.
TB Symptoms
After TB bacteria are inhaled, they settle in the lungs. People with healthy immune systems can usually fight the bacteria and keep it from multiplying. The immune system may build structures that wall off the bacteria. These structures can burst, leaving scars in the lungs. If a person's immune system is too weak and the structures burst, the bacteria can get out and enter the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream they travel to other parts of the body including the brain, kidneys, and bones. This is called "extrapulmonary TB." Extrapulmonary TB is more likely in people with advanced HIV disease.
People with active TB disease may develop symptoms including:
- Cough lasting more than two to three weeks
- Coughing up sputum (phlegm) or blood
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fever or chills
- Night sweats
- Fatigue (unusual tiredness)
- Loss of appetite
- Chest pain
Finding and Diagnosing TB
It is recommended that HIV+ people get screened for TB once a year using a skin or blood test. The skin test is called a TST (tuberculin skin test) or PPD (purified protein derivative). A small amount of "tuberculin" (a TB protein) is injected under the skin of the arm, and the test is checked or "read" two to three days later by a health care worker who looks at the spot on the arm and measures any swelling. The test is positive if the area develops a hard swelling under the skin that is bigger than 5mm.
There is also a TB blood test, called an IGRA (interferon-gamma release assay), which measures your immune response to TB. Because HIV+ people sometimes do not develop a positive TB skin test reaction even if they are infected, the TB blood test is now the preferred test for those living with HIV. An added benefit to the IGRA test is that there is no need to return to a health clinic; results are usually available within 24 hours and can be communicated by phone.
A positive TB skin or blood test shows that you have been exposed to TB, but it does not mean you have active TB disease. Your health care provider will look at your symptoms as well as other tests, such as chest X-rays and sputum tests, before diagnosing you with active TB disease.
TB Treatment
There are two types of treatment for TB:
Preventive Treatment
During the nine months of INH and B6 treatment, your provider will draw lab tests to check for any side effects from the INH medication, such as liver inflammation. The first set of lab tests will be done after you have taken the medication for one month. Also, your provider will question you regularly about any side effects you may be having from the INH. Possible side effects from INH include:
- loss of appetite
- nausea and/or abdominal pain
- jaundice (yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes)
- dark urine
- rash
- numbness and tingling of your hands and/or feet (peripheral neuropathy)
- fever and weakness for more than three days
- muscle soreness
- long-lasting fatigue (extreme tiredness)
The pyroxidine or B6 medication is taken to prevent the peripheral neuropathy symptoms. It is important not to drink alcohol while you are taking INH, or your liver may become badly damaged.
In HIV+ people who are not on HIV drugs, a shorter treatment regimen has been recommended by the CDC: a combination of INH and rifapentine taken once a week for 12 weeks with DOT. Your health care provider will help you decide which treatment option is best for you.
Treatment of Active Disease
Treatment of active TB requires combination therapy. The usual regimen is:
- Isoniazid (INH)
- Rifampin (also known as rifampicin, Rifadin, or Rimactane)
- Pyrazinamide
- Ethambutol (Myambutol)
These four drugs are taken daily for two months. Tests can be done to see how well the drugs are fighting the TB. If the drugs are fighting the TB well, then the treatment changes to just two drugs: isoniazid plus rifampin for four more months. Sometimes the treatment will last longer, depending on whether or not the TB is resistant to these drugs, or if the TB disease has spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body.
Some TB drugs can interact with HIV drugs. Rifampin, for example, can interfere with protease inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. This can make it difficult to treat both diseases at the same time. If you are taking a protease inhibitor, your health care provider may make changes to your TB drugs. Your provider may also adjust your drug doses when you are being treated for both TB and HIV. Some HIV+ people may need longer TB treatment than people without HIV.
As with HIV, taking your TB drugs exactly as prescribed (good adherence) is very important. The full course of treatment must be completed, even if you feel better before you have finished taking all your drugs (symptoms usually improve after three to four weeks). This helps prevent TB from coming back and becoming resistant to drugs.
Drug Resistant TB
Like HIV, TB can change to become resistant to drugs, especially if a drug is used alone. This can cause the drugs to stop working. Therefore, it is important for your provider to test your TB for drug resistance. Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR TB) must be treated with a combination of drugs. Some TB strains are now resistant to several different drugs. These strains are called multiple-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) and extensively-drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB). XDR TB is resistant to almost all medications used to treat TB. As a result, many more people with XDR TB die or have treatment failure.
TB and Pregnancy
According to the CDC, untreated TB is a greater threat to pregnant women and their babies than TB treatment. Therefore, it is important to screen for and treat TB in pregnant women. Both the TB skin test and the TB blood test are safe during pregnancy. As with anyone who is not pregnant, additional tests are needed to determine if someone who tests positive for TB with a skin or blood test has active TB disease.
For pregnant women with latent or inactive TB, INH taken daily or twice weekly at a higher dose for nine months is the usual treatment. In pregnant women with active TB disease, the usual treatment is INH, rifampin, and ethambutol daily for two months followed by INH plus rifampin for seven months (for a total of nine months of treatment). It is important for pregnant women taking INH to take pyridoxine (vitamin B6) daily to help prevent nerve damage.
Pregnant women should not take streptomycin because it can cause deafness in babies. Pyrazinamide is most often not recommended during pregnancy, as its effects on the developing baby are not yet known. Other TB drugs that should be avoided during pregnancy include: kanamycin, amikacin, capreomycin, and fluoroquinolones (an entire group or type of antibiotics).
The Bottom Line
TB is a serious disease that is the leading cause of death in HIV+ people worldwide. Many people can keep TB under control and have latent, or inactive, disease. But people with weakened immune systems, including people living with HIV, are much more likely to develop active TB disease that needs treatment. In many ways, TB and HIV treatment are similar. Both diseases must be treated with a combination of drugs, since using only one drug can lead to resistance. With both TB and HIV, good adherence is a very important factor in successful treatment. But unlike HIV, TB can usually be completely cured after less than a year of treatment.

Stu character poster for The Hangover: Part III
Warner Bros' has released a seventh character poster (via Total Film) for their third outing in the The Hangover franchise, the imaginatively titled The Hangover: Part III. This poster features Ed Helms' Stu, the apparently sensible member of the wolfpack.
This time round the film follows Zach Galifianakis' Alan who is going through a crisis after the death of his father, and the Wolfpack is all he has.
The principal cast are all back with Galifianakis, joined by old-boys Ed Helms, Justin Bartha, and Bradley Cooper. The film also stars Ken Jeong, John Goodman, Heather Graham, Jamie Chung, Mike Epps, Mike Tyson, Jeffrey Tambor and Melissa McCarthy.
The Hangover: Part III is out in Ireland on May 24th.
The Hangover Part III is the third and final film in director Todd Phillips' record-shattering comedy franchise. This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.

TRONDHEIM, Norway -- Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA (EMGS) and TGS have agreed to expand their cooperation agreement in the Barents Sea from 11 to 17 blocks. In addition, TGS will increase its investment in all the 17 blocks.
"The expansion of this agreement confirms our strategy to integrate our 3D EM data with seismic data and sell this as a combined dataset. We are encouraged by TGS' interest in our library and look forward to further develop our relationship with TGS," says Roar Bekker, CEO of EMGS.
The multi-client surveys are already completed. The contribution from TGS will amount to around $3.4 million and will be booked as a reduction of the carrying value of EMGS' existing multi-client library in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Ellen L. Hollander sentenced Joseph Church, age 41, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 51 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute oxycodone.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Assistant Special Agent in Charge Gary Tuggle of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Baltimore District Office; Special Agent in Charge Nicholas DiGiulio, Office of Investigations, Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services; Chief James W. Johnson of the Baltimore County Police Department; Howard County Police Chief William McMahon; and Anne Arundel County Police Chief Kevin Davis.
"Prescription drug trafficking is here in Maryland and it's a growing problem that we in law enforcement will aggressively investigate," stated Gary Tuggle, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Baltimore District Office. "Church will now spend time in a federal prison far away from his family," added Tuggle.
According to his guilty plea and other court documents, Church conspired with others to distribute oxycodone in the Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County areas. Church obtained blank prescriptions from Wendy Pinkard, his girlfriend at the time, who worked as an office manager in a medical facility. Between 2008 and 2011 Pinkard provided more than 175 prescriptions to Church. Church filled out the prescriptions, typically for 180 thirty milligram pills or for 90 eighty milligram oxycodone pills, then recruited individuals, some of whom used fake identities, to go into pharmacies to obtain the oxycodone pills. The individuals returned the pills to Church, who paid the individuals for obtaining the pills. Church sold the pills to drug dealers throughout the area, distributing the equivalent of approximately 46,000 thirty milligram pills of oxycodone over the course of the conspiracy. Thirty milligram oxycodone pills have a street value of between $12 and $30 per pill.
Wendy Pinkard, age 37, of Baltimore, previously pleaded guilty to the same charge and is scheduled to be sentenced on August 5, 2013, at 2:00 p.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the DEA, HHS-OIG, Office of Investigations, Baltimore County Police Department, Howard County Police Department and Anne Arundel County Police Department for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Mushtaq Gunja and Kenneth S. Clark, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

The Mountains of Tanzania, Ehud Reiter

The Dangers of Africa: A Travelogue Part II: The Mountains of Tanzania
Day 0
My truck camping tour drove into the town of Moshi in Tanzania, near the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro.
We had already spent a week driving through Tanzania. The country's founder and guiding spirit, Julius Nyere, was an idealistic socialist, and he had created a country where people were poor but equal. The villages mostly seemed to have schools, clinics, and running water, and the people looked healthy. On the other hand, the stores all had empty shelves, and what modern infrastructure (roads, railroads, banks, hotels, etc) the country had was decaying. Police checkpoints were common, and the prisons until quite recently had been full of political prisoners. Although Nyere himself was honest, corruption was rampant in the lower levels of government. Tanzania felt like an African version of Eastern Europe: basic human needs were met, but the country was economically depressed, politically repressive, and generally felt grey.
Fortunately, tourists are pretty immune to local politics. Eight members of our group were going to try to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,000 feet). Besides myself, there was Bob, Claire, Dinah, Jan, Jean, Sharon, and Susan. Two guys and six girls - contrary to stereotypes, mountain climbing, at least in our group, was more popular with women then men. Jean and Dina had some previous climbing experience, but the rest of us had never done anything like this before.
Days 1,2, and 3
There is a well-established routine for climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. It takes 3 and a half days to climb up, and one and half days to come back down. There are huts to stay in along the way, and porters are usually hired to carry your food and equipment. Except for the fourth day, when you actually reach the summit, the "climb" is just a hike along a trail. The scenery is beautiful, and always changing. The bottom of Kilimanjaro is tropical forest, but above that is a layer of meadows and flowers, and above that is a layer of desert and bare rock. The final layer, which we would see on day 4, is glaciers and ice.
The hiking for the first three days is pretty easy. You only climb about three or four thousand feet every day, and the path is gentle and in good repair. Porters carry all the gear, so you just stroll up and enjoy yourself. We had a guide, but we had no need for him for this leg of the trip.
I was careful to pace myself and go slowly. I have a tendancy to walk too fast and tire myself out, so I told myself to relax, and take my time. I tried to always stay behind someone else, and let the other person set the pace. I noticed that Bob (the only other guy in our group), had taken a more macho attitude. He was always far in front, and the first to arrive at the hut for the night. When the rest of us would finally arrive, Bob would usually started boasting about how he was going to be the first one up to the summit, and how he was probably going to have to come back down and give the rest of us a hand in reaching the top.
Day 4
The big day. The fourth day of the Kilimanjaro climb is the real test, as the path gets worse and the altitude starts taking its toll. Kilimanjaro is a volcanic crater, and the path goes up to the crater rim at Gilman's point, and then goes around the rim to the highest point, Uhuru point, which is the summit. Most people make it to Gilman's point, but then are so tired and miserable that they turn back and don't reach the summit.
We were woken up at midnight, and were on the trail by 1AM. The first to turn back from our group was Bob, the macho guy who had been boasting that he was going to be the first one up. Perhaps because he had worn himself out by setting a fast pace during the first three days, he decided to turn back after only an hour or two. The rest of us, annoyed by his previous boasting, did not try to dissuade him.
After Bob turned back, the seven "survivors" gradually broke up into two groups. I was in the "fast" group, along with Claire, Dinah, and Jan. In the dark (it was 3AM), we lost contact with the "slow" group, consisting of Jean, Sharon, and Susan. We found out later that they, like so many others, had gotten to Gilman's point and turned back there, not reaching the summit.
So, now there were only four of us left, out of the original eight. As the path got worse and the air got thinner, I think we all started wondering why we were crazy enough to try to climb this mountain. I could no longer think clearly, but just concentrated on trying to put one foot in front of the other. Dinah, the only experienced climber in our group, was having even more problems with the altitude than I was, and began gradually falling behind the rest of us.
At 7AM, we reached Gilman's point and the crater rim. We all collapsed onto the ground, and took a well-deserved rest. Dinah declared that she simply could not go any farther, and was going back down to where she could breathe. Claire, Jan, and I looked at each other, wondering whether we should be sensible and go back with Dinah, or prolong the misery and push on. At last, I said "Come on, we can't turn back now", and we headed off.
So, now there were only three left, out of the original eight. I only have the dimmest memories of walking around the crater rim to the summit. At a reasonable altitude, it would have been a Sunday stroll. At 19,000 feet, I'm amazed that I made it. It wasn't so much that I was tired, as that I had no control over myself. I walked that path like a drunk, staggering from one side to another. At times, there was a significant drop (100 feet or so) next to the path, so this was pretty dangerous. I might have seriously injured myself, except for our guide, Sam. Sam kept an eye on me, and whenever we got to a dangerous part of the trail, he would walk next to me, ready to pull me back when I got too close to the edge.
Well, we made it to the summit, somehow - first Jan, then Claire, and then me. We took some photos, signed a book, rested for a few minutes, and then headed back. For me, walking back to Gilman's point was even worse than walking to the summit, but, with Sam's help, I made it. My strongest memory of the climb down was Jan scrambling down as fast as she could, until she got down to 17,500 feet or so. There, she could breathe, and think, and enjoy herself, and start laughing at the clumsy antics of Claire and I as we came down from the top to join her. When we reached Jan, we all collapsed on the spot, and started laughing. For, we had somehow made it to the top of a 19,000 foot mountain, and would carry the memory of that accomplishment for the rest of our lives.

Yesterday after school I went to Phase One and filled out an application. Five minutes later they called me back for an interview. Kate was really nice and she said I could start training next week, which is pretty nice. Im making $6.75 an hour, which is more than I made at Deterdings, so thats amazing. Later I went over to Kyle's because he texted me on my way home from Phase One. When I got there he said that he was going out with his friend Brad to go look for a job. He told me that I got him sick, which I feel really bad about. He seemed really distant and I had to ask him for a hug. Im not sure if its me or not, but I think were going to break up very soon. I mean we've on our third try now and if it comes down to it where we break up again, I guess its just not meant to be. I want it to work with Kyle, but Im not sure if it is now. I love that kid to death and Id do anything for him, but my everything doesn't seem enough for him. I dont know, maybe we need a break from each other or something. Im just not going to try to get in contact with him until his birthday and then Ill see what happens then.♥ Sue

- Dressing:
- 1/4 cup(s) golden raisins
- 1 cup(s) boiling water
- 3 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon(s) malt vinegar, or red-wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon(s) finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
- 1 teaspoon(s) minced ginger
- 1 fresh green Thai, serrano or small jalapeno chile, stemmed and finely chopped (see Note)
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
- Salad:
- 8 cup(s) mesclun, or other mixed baby salad greens (5 ounces)
- 1 large ripe, firm mango, peeled (see Tip) and diced (1 1/2 cups)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into julienne slices (1 cup)
- To prepare dressing: Place raisins and boiling water in a small bowl. Let soften for 30 minutes. Drain; transfer the raisins to a blender. Add oil, vinegar, cilantro, ginger, chile and salt. Puree, scraping the sides as needed, until smooth. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the dressing.
- To prepare salad: Place the greens in a large bowl and toss with the remaining dressing. Divide among 6 plates. Place mango and bell pepper in the bowl; add the reserved tablespoon of dressing and toss to coat. Top the greens with the mango mixture. Serve immediately.
- Note: Fresh and dried chiles vary widely in spiciness depending on variety and seasonality. Smaller varieties are generally hotter. What makes chiles hot, capsaicin, is found in the inner membrane and seeds. Add chiles with caution when cooking, tasting as you go. Tip: How to cut a mango: 1. Slice both ends off the mango, revealing the long, slender seed inside. Set the fruit upright on a work surface and remove the skin with a sharp knife. 2. With the seed perpendicular to you, slice the fruit from both sides of the seed, yielding two large pieces. 3. Turn the seed parallel to you and slice the two smaller pieces of fruit from each side. 4. Cut the fruit into the desired shape.
