About AFRESA
Afresa is an ultra rapid acting inhaled insulin product that has completed Phase 3 trials. The pharmacokinetic profile of Afresa sets it apart from all other insulin products. The large surface area of the lung provides unique access to the circulatory system. The pH-sensitive Afresa particles immediately dissolve upon contact with the lung surface, releasing insulin monomers that rapidly enter the bloodstream. It achieves peak insulin levels within 12-14 minutes of administration, effectively mimicking the release of meal-time insulin observed in healthy individuals, but which is absent from patients with diabetes.

New York Times best-selling poet and multiplatinum singer-songwriter Jewel explores her unconventional upbringing and extraordinary life in an inspirational memoir that covers her childhood, rise to fame, marriage, and motherhood. She writes beautifully about growing up amid the natural wonders of Alaska, about pain and childhood trauma, and about discovering her own identity years after the entire world had discovered the beauty of her songs.
"Well written"
M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village café where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima.
"6 hours is not enough"
Joe and Rose Kennedy's strikingly beautiful daughter, Rosemary, attended exclusive schools, was presented as a debutante to the queen of England, and traveled the world with her high-spirited sisters. And yet Rosemary was intellectually disabled - a secret fiercely guarded by her powerful and glamorous family.
With refreshing candor, Sounds Like Me reveals Sara Bareilles - the artist and the woman - and her take on songwriting, soul searching, and what's discovered along the way. She shares the joys and the struggles that come with creating great work, all while staying true to herself. Imbued with humor and marked by Sara's confessional writing style, this collection tells the inside story behind some of her most popular songs.
Jalen Rose has never been quiet. Not as a kid growing up in Detroit in the '70s and '80s. Not as the brash, trash-talking leader of the legendary "Fab Five" at the University of Michigan. Not as the player under the stewardship of Hall of Famers Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, and others throughout his 13-year NBA career. And certainly not as a commentator and analyst on ABC/ESPN and Grantland.
Creedence Clearwater Revival is one of the most important and beloved bands in the history of rock, and John Fogerty wrote, sang, and produced their instantly recognizable classics: "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Born on the Bayou", and more. Now he reveals how he brought CCR to number one in the world, eclipsing even the Beatles in 1969. By the next year, though, Creedence was falling apart; their amazing, enduring success exploded and faded in just a few short years.
Kaitlin Roig-Debellis is the first-grade teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School who saved her entire class of 15 six- and-seven-year-olds from the tragic events that took place on December 14, 2012, by piling them into a single-occupancy bathroom within her classroom, mere feet from the brutal and indiscriminate massacre taking place outside the door. Since then, despite the unimaginably painful experiences she endured, she has chosen to share her experience with others, in the hope that they, too, can find light in dark moments.
"Have a seat and listen in..."
When a waiting world learned on April 12, 1955, that Jonas Salk had successfully created a vaccine to prevent poliomyelitis, he became a hero overnight. Born in a New York tenement, humble in manner, Salk had all the makings of a 20th-century icon - a knight in a white coat. In the wake of his achievement, he received a staggering number of awards and honors; for years his name ranked with Gandhi and Churchill on lists of the most revered people.
From the Chicago neighborhoods where she grew up and set her groundbreaking The House on Mango Street to her abode in Mexico in a region where "my ancestors lived for centuries", the places Sandra Cisneros has lived have provided inspiration for her now-classic works of fiction and poetry. But a house of her own, where she could truly take root, has eluded her. With this collection - spanning three decades and including never-before-published work - Cisneros has come home at last.
In 2010 Clive James was diagnosed with terminal leukemia. Deciding that "if you don't know the exact moment when the lights will go out, you might as well read until they do", James moved his library to his house in Cambridge, where he would "live, read, and perhaps even write". James is the award-winning author of dozens of works of literary criticism, poetry, and history, and this volume contains his reflections on what may well be his last reading list.
For more than 40 years, Frederick Forsyth has been writing extraordinary real-world novels of intrigue, from the groundbreaking The Day of the Jackal to the prescient The Kill List. Whether writing about the murky world of arms dealers, the shadowy Nazi underground movement, or the intricacies of worldwide drug cartels, every plot has been chillingly plausible because every detail has been minutely researched. But what most people don't know is that some of his greatest stories of intrigue have been in his own life.
Before he became a household name in America as perhaps our greatest hard-boiled crime writer, before his attachment to Lillian Hellman and blacklisting during the McCarthy era, and his subsequent downward spiral, Dashiell Hammett led a life of action. The tuberculosis he contracted during the war forced him to leave the Pinkertons - but it may well have prompted one of America's most acclaimed writing careers.
Peter Ackroyd follows his hero, "the sweetest-tempered of all the Victorian novelists", from his childhood as the son of a well-known artist to his struggling beginnings as a writer, his years of fame, and his lifelong friendship with the other great London chronicler, Charles Dickens. In addition to his enduring masterpieces, The Moonstone - often called the first true detective novel - and the sensational The Woman in White, Collins produced an intriguing array of lesser-known works.
This book is an anecdotal memoir spanning Tony Roberts' 55 years as a professional actor. During that time, Roberts has appeared in 23 Broadway shows, 25 films, three television series, and recorded numerous audiobooks and voice-over commercials. He explores the sources of his ambition and describes the ups and downs of a career in show business. While not a "how-to" book, it provides the inspirational guidance taught by one of America's greatest acting teachers: Alvina Krause. Oh, there's also a lot of stuff about Woody Allen and other people you've probably heard of.
As an RAF medical officer, Aidan McCarthy served in France, survived Dunkirk, and was plunged into adventures in the Japanese-American arena comparable with those of famous war heroes. Interned by the Japanese in Java, he helped his fellow prisoners with amazing ingenuity in awful conditions. En route back to Japan in 1944, his ship was torpedoed, but he was rescued by a whaling boat and re-interned in Japan.
An essay in biography, Rollyson argues, is an effort to comprehend a life that is inherently incomplete and subject to revision. Many of the facts about a biographical subject's life that are blandly presented in reference books have been discovered by biographers at great cost to their reputations. With the history of biography as a censored genre in mind, he encourages consumers of biography to be critical of the biographies they come across - no matter whether those biographies are book-length narratives or short encyclopedia entries.
During World War II, Irena Sendler, a Polish Catholic social worker, organized a rescue network of fellow social workers to save 2,500 Jewish children from certain death in the Warsaw ghetto. Incredibly, after the war her heroism, like that of many others, was suppressed by communist Poland and remained virtually unknown for 60 years.
This is how Emmanuel Carrère, the magnetic journalist, novelist, filmmaker, and chameleon, describes his subject: "Limonov is not a fictional character. There. I know him. He has been a young punk in Ukraine, the idol of the Soviet underground; a bum, then a multimillionaire's butler in Manhattan; a fashionable writer in Paris; a lost soldier in the Balkans; and now, in the fantastic shambles of postcommunism, the elderly but charismatic leader of a party of young desperadoes."
As a journalist whose career spans three decades, CNN correspondent Tom Foreman has reported from the heart of war zones, riots, and natural disasters. He has interviewed serial killers and been in the line of fire. But the most terrifying moment of his life didn't occur on the job - it occurred at home, when his 18-year-old daughter asked, "How would you feel about running a marathon with me?"
Older Man Younger Man is a memoir of the relationship between a middle-aged man and a man 30 years his junior, from their first meeting, through the challenges of living together across a wide age-gap, to a climactic confession of shame and regret, the terror of loss from a life-threatening disease, and, ultimately, the triumph of love. This is a passionate, bittersweet story of a powerful love that transcends gender, bridges generations, defies convention, and brings to the partners the richness of spiritual fulfillment.
Author of three books, this is by far his best. Lee puts you in the cockpit in a riveting account of life as a fighter pilot at the front. At times humorous and dramatic, this thoughtful, enlightening, true account is a classic to be ranked with Winged Victory by W. V. Yeates, also published by Grub Street.
In Why Not Me? Kaling shares her ongoing journey to find contentment and excitement in her adult life, whether it's falling in love at work, seeking new friendships in lonely places, attempting to be the first person in history to lose weight without any behavior modification whatsoever, or, most important, believing that you have a place in Hollywood when you're constantly reminded that no one looks like you.
"Sweet, sassy, and yes-poignant"

"Tina Fey broke my new SUV"
"This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it." In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation's history and current crisis.

Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared.....

"Interesting man"
Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence "Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I'll shut up about it?"

The film Rabbit-Proof Fence is based on this true account of Doris Pilkington's mother, Molly, who as a young girl led her two sisters on an extraordinary 1,600 kilometre walk home. Under Western Australia's invidious removal policy of the 1930s, the girls were taken from their Aboriginal families at Jigalong on the edge of the Little Sandy Desert, and transported halfway across the state to the Native Settlement at Moore River, north of Perth.

At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than "an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise." But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.
"Glad I Took the Trip"
For many years, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer's fans have wondered when he would write a memoir. Well, Wayne has finally done just that!

"The gift that keeps on giving..."
From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.
"Someone did not do his job or stayed quiet."

But in her grief, she saw that the goshawk's fierce and feral anger mirrored her own.
"Mabel The Hawk--The Fire That Burned The Hurts Away"
It's only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This classic biography of the founder of computer science, reissued on the centenary of his birth with a substantial new preface by the author, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.
"A Fantastic Biography For The Patient Listener"

The gyro control board is my own design and currently not available yet. I will post an update once it is. The IMU is my design as well, and is available here. You are welcome to order this design now, but be aware that it's still somewhat "beta". Whatever you do with it is entirely your own risk and responsibility, I unfortunately cannot make any claims towards its usefulness, stability or safety... I would recommend, before you put this on a flying contraption, consider using a safety string to attach the camera to the plane somehow. GoPro cameras are very robust inside their waterproof case, but not quite so robust without that protection. They don't like crashing into the ground (and trust me, I know - as is probably obvious from the picture of my camera... in all fairness, it did mostly survive...) For the complete kit you have to order the back cage, the front lid, the servo cage and the mounting arm. The bearing at the top is a 16mm outer, 8mm inner diameter ball bearing, available from many places. Hobbyking sells those as well. I will possibly modify the mounting bracket in the future and also offer one with a smaller bearing... this one is total overkill! The servos that will fit are the MKS DS470 (available e.g. from Hobbyking). They do have a little play, but they are very smooth and by far the fastest servo I've seen in that size and price class. I'm still on the lookout for different servos that might be a bit smoother. -- Update: Seems the MKS has too much gain for the yaw axis, and tends to oscillate a bit with all that weight swinging around. They are fine for the Pitch/Roll arms. I'm still looking for a small servo with high speed, smoothness and no (or little) play... Suggestions are of course welcome!! -- The servos are still a very tight fit into the control arms and the bracket. I already made it a bit larger, but still not enough. What works quite well is to carefully push it on just a little (best to put the arms onto a flat surface, and gently push the servo in just a bit to align). Then use a screw (maybe with a washer to spread the force), and slowly pull the arm onto the crown. You only have to do that once, it'll be a tight, smooth fit afterwards.

LOMA LINDA, CA. (PRWEB) November 21, 2013
A joint team of cardiologists, cardiac and vascular surgeons and cardiac anesthesiologists completed the first trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) on Oct. 28, and the patient is doing well. LLUMC is the first hospital in the Inland Empire to perform this type of procedure.
This new therapy is used to treat certain patients who are symptomatic with severe aortic valve stenosis, shortness of breath, chest pain, heart failure, light-headedness, and syncope. TAVR provides an alternative to open heart surgery for patients who are considered inoperable.
The team consisted of cardiologists Anthony Hilliard, MD, and Kenneth Jutzy, MD; cardiothoracic surgeons Anees Razzouk, MD, and Rosario Floridia, MD; vascular surgeon Ahmed Abou-Zamzam, MD; Jason Gatling, MD, and Ryan Lauer, MD from anesthesia and echocardiographers Ramesh Bansal, MD, and Ramdas Pai, MD.
"This procedure requires the collaboration of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to evaluate and select patients in order to provide the best outcomes," said Dr. Razzouk, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at LLUMC. "Loma Linda University Medical Center was selected as the site to do this procedure, partially because our traditional approach to patient care has been a team approach, especially when it comes to cardiac patients. We work daily with cardiologists and other professionals to present the best options of care for our patients."
Typically, aortic valve replacement (AVR) can be lifesaving for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis, however the process would normally involve opening the chest, stopping the heart and placing the patient on a cardiopulmonary bypass machine.
Because of the invasive nature of this approach, about 30% of patients with severe aortic stenosis who also have concomitant comorbidities are not co

Ventura County home sales spike as foreclosures lure buyers
Median price continues to lose value
Ventura County home sales shot up nearly 50 percent as the median fell by more than 35 percent in December, culminating a nerve-racking 2008.
Sales were bolstered by foreclosure deals, which brought down overall home prices.
There were 876 new and existing homes and condominiums sold last month, up 48.5 percent from 590 the previous year ago, MDA DataQuick reported today.
The median, the point at which half the homes sold for more and half for less, was $338,000, down 35.6 percent from $525,250 in December 2007, according to the real estate information service.
A similar trend was seen throughout Southern California — each of the six counties in the region reported a strong uptick in sales but a downward slide in prices.
A total of 19,926 new and existing homes and condominiums sold across Southern California last month, up 19.2 percent from 16,720 in November and 50.5 percent from 13,240 in December 2007 — the slowest December in DataQuick's statistics, which date back to 1988.
Foreclosures comprised 55.7 percent of the resale activity last month, up from 24.3 percent for the same month the previous year.
The Southland median was $278,000, down 34.6 percent from $425,000 in December 2007.
Sales from September 2007 through last summer were at the lowest in at least two decades, but they've since edged up, DataQuick reported. Still, last month was the fifth-slowest December in DataQuick's statistics.
Sales gains were strongest in areas that were hit hardest by foreclosures, where home values experienced the greatest declines. The median for San Bernardino and Riverside declined 42.9 and 41.1 percent, respectively, while sales shot up 88.5 percent and 77.2 percent.
Monthly mortgage payments that buyers are committing to are declining along with home prices. A typical monthly mortgage payment that Southern California buyers committed themselves to paying was $1,239 in December, down from $2,060 the previous year, according to DataQuick.

This is what we are trying to do and it's worked for the most part.
We are trying to make a list of people. We want to be able to track this similar to a post. So, we've used your plugin.
Because we (the admin) are listing people, we don't want to make users for each of these. So we have added our own Bio's without users. However the short code [employees] doesn't display anything but our username (the admin). Is there a way, shortcode or similar, that can display the BIO titles, which are their names?

Varian Medical Systems pledges $2 million toward $10 million campaign goal
FAIRFAX, Va., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The newly formed Radiation Oncology Institute has so far raised $3 million as part of its initial campaign goal and is on target to achieve its $10 million initial campaign goal.
Following an initial commitment of $5 million from the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology -- $3 million of which is a challenge grant to ASTRO members, individual radiation oncologists have done their part by pledging nearly $1 million in commitments to date. With the critical mass pledged by the physicians and radiation therapy treatment team members, industry partners were invited to join the campaign as well. Radiation therapy equipment manufacturer Varian did so with a leadership commitment of $2 million.
"We all know that radiation therapy is one of the most powerful weapons available to patients fighting cancer, particularly in light of advances made in the last 10 years. Radiation therapy is not only clinically effective, it is cost effective, too," said Timothy E. Guertin, CEO of Varian Medical Systems in Palo Alto, Calif. "The problem is that the rest of the world doesn't seem to get it. Many patients, members of the public, referring physicians, surgical and medical oncologists, and policy makers continue to think of radiation as a therapy of last resort, rather than a therapy to be preferred. We are excited to be a part of ROI since its goals are to improve the position and standing of radiation oncology and demonstrate the value and clinical benefits that this important treatment brings to improve and extend the lives of cancer patients every day."
"Our plan is for ROI to conduct objective research on the specialty to
document the value, safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of radiation
therapy with the goal of 'stepping up' the profile of radiation therapy
within the medical community to ensure th

This is Nick, Nikolaus Maack; the former owner of this website. I don't know if it's right to call him a goofball, yeah he was goofy; maybe witty. Some faces and their descriptions on this website previously, on a page he called "Sex Offenders" would make me conclude so. Or may be Nick was a prankster; maybe he still is, but some posts and images on his "Comics'. Foundstuff & Paintings'"page all seem to suggest so. I also at times feel that he was just a self-depreciating dude with a quirky…no a warped sense of humor.
His latter description seems quiet wacky, but if you looks at his descriptions about these sex offenders, you will agree that he was the joke here. The way he pokes fun at the offenders or their accoutrements just says it all.
Did he just make fun of this kid? No I mean, was all this real?
Or did he know that this was a lame joke. Who hates beer anyway? And of course a chickleader.
Okay, I must admit that this was a funny one.
Could Nick have made it on TV, I mean beat Steve Best, no I meant Steve Day or maybe beat Rowan Atkinson at his role. Okay, I feel that this guy really had a dry sense of humor; one word for him- he's hilarious- no those are two. I'd say he was funny. Let's agree to disagree as you look at these comics that he'd posted.
This one is about a coat story.
Was he mocking Christ, our Lord here?
At times his jokes seem to be mean-spirited and just cracked at other people's expense; quiet a sadist he was. Someone with a sick sense of humor; a frat boy who just cracks corny jokes.
You need to have a look at these posts that I recovered that he had previously published. Hold on, his paintings first.
One of this is below. Quiet weird, you will agree. Guess what? He sold this. I don't know which douchebag bought it, but whoever did must really have screwed the punchline.
Just a moment. What do you think of this smoker?
Definitely the world is crumbling soon. You wanna know why? Read some of his hilarious posts below.

Homebuilder: Crook or naive protector?
Robert Fritzsch is either a reputable builder of upscale homes caught in a horrible nightmare or a vengeful cretin who hired two crooks to severely beat a neighbor with whom Fritzsch feuded.

2009 NBA Draft Mailbag - June 30, 2009
From Johnny Damon:
First off I'm from Canada, I live in Vancouver (Miss the Grizzlies)
NO ONE F***in Says "EH" in Canada
Everyone i know pronounces defense the same way the c makes no f**in difference to me
A-BOOT are you F***IN KIDDING ME
i know people who lived in toronto all their life then moved here and they don't say f**in A-BOOT they say ABOUT not ABOOT
Did you get that s*** South Park or Some S***
WOW! With the exception of "The FSU Cowgirl" Jenn Sterger, I don't think I?ve ever encountered someone online so filled with hatred and bitterness. It's interesting you signed this e-mail under such an obvious pseudonym, and your lack of syntax and sentence structure says quite a bit about yourself. Also, the prodigious cursing would make even Ozzie Guillen blush.
However, you're barking up the wrong tree if you seek to extinguish bigotry and prejudice against Canadians. I literally had "O Canada" as my ring tone for a few months in 2006, and I plan to hopefully, have my bachelor party in Windsor, Ontario some day soon.
If no one says "eh?" in Canada, how come they sell t-shirts with the phrase and a Canadian flag on it at tourist shops everywhere? You did succeed in destroying one Canadian stereotype: Many of us Yanks believe your people to excessively polite. You on the other hand...
From Matt:
Los Angeles is the perfect market for Ricky Rubio (though I know he preferred NYK)... do you think LA would make the deal? Would you rather have Baron Davis and Eric Gordon, or Baron Davis with Ricky Rubio as the future?
With Baron and Gordon (or "Basketball Judas" as I call him, being a die-hard Illini and UI alum) you have a better traditional backcourt pairing. Davis can be a score-first point guard if needs be, but he's better in a distributor role with EG focusing on wing play and off the ball. So this would create better continuity. On the flip side, I think Rubio has a lot more potential long-term.
So even though you'd have two "pure point guards," watching Rubio highlights make me salivate and given how young he is - imagine what he could be in his prime? Gordon for Rubio straight-up is... advantage - Spaniard. I've covered the Big Ten extensively these past couple years, and witness Gordon's sulking, slumping and sliding shooting percentages after Kelvin Sampson was fired make me wonder what type of maturity and toughness he truly has... Of course Rubio's game translating to the league is still a wild card in itself.
From Andre:
I was wondering how you thought of Jonny Flynn on defense. On a scale of 1 - 10 how do you think he is on defense? Also on a scale of 1-10 how do you think Toney Douglas is on defense? Thanks!!!
I think Flynn was one of the best point guards in the country this season, but not really that spectacular on the defensive end. T-Wolves GM David Kahn thinks he'll be a great on-the-ball defender in the league though... which makes me think much less of Flynn defensively. Douglas, on the other hand is an outstanding defender - especially man to man. I rate him a nine.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Re: Type O weightlifter
Posted By: Peter D'Adamo
In Response To: Type O weightlifter (David Desmarais)
Dear Dave
I'd go for proteins instead of carbohydrates. Try using one source at each meal, for example, eggs for breakfast, fish at lunch and lean meat for dinner. This should eventually bulk you up rather nicely. Monounsaturated oils would also be good, in addition to oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, etc.

Most fossil groundwater resources in North Africa and the Middle East are characterized by high-quality water with low salinity. "The assumption has been that unsafe radioactive levels occur primarily in high-saline groundwater, so low-saline sources, such as water from a Nubian sandstone aquifer, are relatively safe resources just waiting to be tapped," Vengosh said.
To test that hypothesis, Vengosh and his colleagues investigated water from 37 pumping wells in the Disi aquifer's Rum Group, where low-saline groundwater is extracted from Cambro-Ordovician sandstone, and from wells in the Khreim Group, where saltier water is extracted from an aquifer containing larger amounts of clay minerals and oxides. All samples were analyzed for major and trace elements and for four radium isotopes. For comparative purposes, sandstone rocks from the Disi aquifer, along with Nubian sandstone rocks from the nearby Negev Desert in Israel, were also measured for radium.
"We found a lack of correlation between salinity and radioactivity," Vengosh said. "Instead, our findings suggest that an aquifer's geological properties may be a much more significant factor."
Vengosh and his group hypothesize that an aquifer with a higher content of clay minerals and oxides provides more adsorption sites for radium, and this results in lower radionuclide levels in the water itself. Sandstone aquifers, on the other hand, offer fewer adsorption sites, and, as a result, generate radium-rich groundwater.
"Given that most of the aquifers in the region that contain fossil water are composed of Nubian sandstone and are characterized by low-saline groundwater, similar to that in the Disi aquifer, we suggest that high-radioactive groundwater may also exist in these basins. This could pose health risks for a large population," Vengosh said. Grou

Government Seeks to Delay Start of Deepwater Drilling
Byline: Michael Kunzelman Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS -- A federal judge who overturned a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling imposed after the Gulf oil spill refused Thursday to put his ruling on hold while the government appeals.
The Justice Department had asked U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman to delay his ruling until the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans can review it. Feldman rejected that request Thursday.
On Tuesday, he struck down the Interior Department's moratorium that halted approval of new permits for deepwater projects and suspended drilling on 33 exploratory wells. Feldman concluded the government simply assumed that because one deepwater rig went up in flames, others were dangerous too.
The moratorium was imposed after the offshore oil rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20, killing 11 workers. Oil has gushed from the blown-out well ever since.
The Justice Department said in court papers that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has instructed all employees not to enforce the moratorium. Rig operators are getting letters that say suspension notices they received have no legal effect right now. …

On Monday, 4 June 2012, I was sitting on my porch, alternating between reading about information theory and Ursula K. le Guinn's "The Dispossessed", when the police showed up. It turned out that Darryl had called them on me; he would later admit to being a serial informant. In the search of the premises that followed, the police confiscated 3.2 ounces of cannabis and paraphernalia.

Hi. I have a login webpage and a welcome webpage. I have the usernames and passwords saved in a database. After login I redirect to the welcome page. Let's say I login as Dave. I want the welcome page to say Welcome Dave. How do I do this?
I tried a bunch of things unsuccessfully - I created a label on the welcome page and tried calling it from the login page but that wasn't allowed. Is there a way I can connect labels from different web pages?? Are there tools in the toolbox that can link pages together?
Or should I focus on doing something with the database?
Any ideas?
