Choosing the right mobile device
Submitted: 12/10/2013
Story By Dan McKinney
- Many older people in the Northwoods still love their paper-and-print books. The task of choosing between today's e-readers and tablets can seem daunting. But e-readers and tablets are creeping in as popular options too.
The Rhinelander Library held a class today to teach people about the different options for going mobile. Educating older people is especially helpful.
"If you're just interested in books people usually want to have an e-reader," says Erica Brewster, Family Living Agent with Oneida County UW Extension. "If you're interested in doing a lot more maybe you want to watch Netflix movies or you want to be on the internet than you want to look at a tablet."
Some of the popular tablets include the iPad and the Microsoft Surface. People interested in an e-reader might consider the Kindle or the Nook.
"We've gone from computers being something we have on a desk and we work with, to taking it for granted that we have a cell phone, we have a tablet, something that travels with us," says Brewster. "So the mobile technology is the newest and greatest breaking trend really that we have is being able to carry our technology with us."
E-readers are typically cheaper than tablets which can cost a few hundred dollars.

Feingold prepares for August primary
Submitted: 07/27/2016

- In less than two weeks, Wisconsin voters will head to the polls to vote in the state's primary.
That's why former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) is encouraging people to vote on August 9th.
He faces another democratic senate candidate Scott Harbach from Kenosha.
"I wouldn't say I'm nervous but I take nothing for granted," Feingold said at a Wausau event on Wednesday.
"You should never take an election for granted and that's why we're working very hard at traveling all over the state this week to help people take advantage of early voting and if not to make sure they get out to vote on August 9th."
If Feingold wins the election, he faces incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in November.
A recent Marquette University Law School poll shows Feingold leading. The link is posted below.
But Feingold said he doesn't want to get too hung up on the numbers.
"I don't want to get really serious about polling, that isn't the way that I've ever conducted myself," Feingold said. "What I do is go out to listen to people and find out directly not through polling what people are thinking and how they're feeling."
A third candidate named Phillip Anderson is also running for the same senate seat. He is a libertarian from Fitchburg.

Rhinelander community supports family in need

- At 51 years old, Rhinelander's Chris Moore felt off for months. In May it got worse. His wife knew something was wrong.
"Oh no we're going to call an ambulance," said Chris Moore.
Doctors diagnosed Moore with unhealthy heart muscle, an irregular heartbeat, and heart failure. His heart now works at 20 percent. Moore had to resign from his job a grave digger.
"Hardest thing I've ever done was to sit and watch," said Chris Moore.
Moore's wife Sherri only works part-time and says Chris may have to wait months to years for social security disability to kick in.
"We sold a truck, boat," said Sherri.
But it wasn't enough to pay the bills. That's when a friend unexpectedly stepped up.

Q: What percentage of global warming is due to human causes vs. natural causes?
A: Probably almost all of it
There still seems to be some confusion on this basic question.
A year ago, NASA scientist Gavin Schmidt was asked on RealClimate: "What percentage of global warming is due to human causes vs. natural causes?" His answer is straightforward:
Over the last 40 or so years, natural drivers would have caused cooling, and so the warming there has been "¦ is caused by a combination of human drivers and some degree of internal variability. I would judge the maximum amplitude of the internal variability to be roughly 0.1 deg C over that time period, and so given the warming of ~0.5 deg C, I'd say somewhere between 80 to 120% of the warming. Slightly larger range if you want a large range for the internal stuff.
Absent the increasing GHGs, we probably would have cooled, since
- We've had a couple of big volcanoes.
- We're just coming off "the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century.".
- The underlying long-term trend had been cooling (see Human-caused Arctic warming overtakes 2,000 years of natural cooling, "seminal" study finds, see figure below).
The more important point is that the rapid increase in the human-driven component of the forcing are increasingly dwarfing the small, slow natural forcings, rendering them increasingly irrelevant (see "Humans boosting CO2 14,000 times faster than nature, overwhelming slow negative feedbacks"). In the Anthropocene Epoch, humankind's destiny is in its hands.

- NASA: "We conclude that global temperature continued to rise rapidly in the past decade" and "there has been no reduction in the global warming trend of 0.15-0.20°C/decade that began in the late 1970s."

"How can humans be responsible for more than 100% of warming? Sounds like crack-pot alarmism to me." That's the response I'd expect Schmidt's quote to draw. While it may be scientifically correct, saying that 120% of warming is due to humans is bound to raise some eyebrows – particularly with no further explanation at hand.
[JR: I really would spend less time guessing what nonsensical disinformation the nonsensical disinformers will say. I think it's pretty straightforward that he's saying that absent some of the cooling trends (notably the solar forcing), we would have warmed more.]
What percent of ocean acidification is natural? 0%
I did a post on this over at Skeptical Science as well.
This isn't fair explaining it in such a clear and easily understood post. Still those that choose not to believe won't let facts get in the way.
What percentage of global warming are we willing to accept?
What percentage of our legislation is based on irrational emotions and deluded thinking?
What percentage of species extinction will we tolerate?
What percentage of our current wealth are we willing to spend so that our children have a future?
What percentage of our children getting cancer from toxic fuel emissions are we willing to accept?
Gaia will provide us with answers to richard pauli and Wit's End's questions. Our acceptance or rejection of these answers will have nothing to do with it.
But, but Curry says…Oh never mind– she thinks/believes that the certainty of warming in the surface data is only 70%!
Meanwhile, we have this happening:
Clearly, the percentage the US Plutocracy is willing to accept is vast ecological collapse along with multi-trillion dollar redistribution of wealth to the rich, as well as government insolvency from fossil wars and dependency. These are truly burning questions.
Is coal an "energy resource" or a solid?
Is the US a house on FIRE (finance, insurance and real estate)?
What percentage of the term "global warming" is meaningless to the public?
The wealthiest Americans largely repudiate global climate change for two main reasons: 1) They have multiple houses in multiple locations, sometimes in different countries. They think there's always someplace they can retreat to, if they have to. 2) They believe (correctly) that acknowledging global climate change means that the US government will have to act, and they assume, probably correctly, that this could well mean higher taxes for them.
The largest US companies simply don't want to face the possibility of any additional taxes, no matter what the reasons.
The Tea Party types reject global warming for many reasons: 1) Rush Limbaugh tells them to. 2) They hate the idea that "liberal, elite scientists" are "behind" the idea. 3) Many of them believe in a Bible that assures them that "God" is in charge and wants them to "dominate" the earth. 4) they think (perhaps correctly in some cases) that accepting global warming means their jobs are threatened (e.g., coal miners), their taxes will go up (which could happen no matter what), and that "their" country is being taken over by "socialists".
Must comment on Catman306 "Gaia will provide us with answers … Our acceptance or rejection of these answers will have nothing to do with it."
We can accept answers, but we need not submit.
Acceptance is not acquiescence.

Do not attempt to insert more money in the machine. It will not matter.
The disinformers make a good target but it's the apathy that's the real killer. This is a Google Trands comparison of "climate change" vs. "football":
Enter any trivial, transient item in place of "football" and you will find it is invariably of more interest to the sheeple than climate change.
Heather Says:
"How can humans be responsible for more than 100% of warming? Sounds like crack-pot alarmism to me." That's the response I'd expect Schmidt's quote to draw. While it may be scientifically correct, saying that 120% of warming is due to humans is bound to raise some eyebrows – particularly with no further explanation at hand.

I don't think Heather was talking about disinformers… I think she was talking about "the man on the street". Not everyone who doesn't believe in climate change is a disinformer, most are simply the "disinformed"!
To physicists (myself included!) this way of speaking is fairly straightforward… but it isn't necessarily so for people who aren't used to it. If one is trying to overcome misinformation, then one has to know the audience one is talking to.
Though, frankly I find it hard to see how anyone can take a look at the temperature graph and not immediately think "uh oh, we are in trouble…", regardless of percentages or details. Which is why so much effort has been expended in trying to undermine it!
[JR: I'd love it if the "man on the street" read this blog, but even if he did, I doubt it would be his response, and I'm quite sure it isn't the response of my actual readers.]
From Joe's post:
…..NASA's Lacis: "There is no viable alternative to counteract global warming except through direct human effort to reduce the atmospheric CO2 level."…..
The climate research community has been concluding much of their literature with this warning for well over 20 years now. Also, the preponderance of think-tank documents (as far back as the 1970's) on the matter of rapid pollution-driven climate destabilization concludes in one way or another that sustained "public pressure" will be absolutely necessary to push the kinds of changes we need to initiate if we are to leave the generations behind us with a livable planet. I started hard-copy archiving a lot of these documents in 1999 with the intent of passing the collection along to my son (now age 40) and his peers so that they will know how we ended up where we (they) are.
Someone (thank you so much) posted a link yesterday on the Weekend Open Thread. The link leads to information about the iMatter March on Mother's Day 2011. This global event will involve hundreds of thousands of children. Jim Hansen is supporting this event. Alec Loors, the young (age 16) activist from Ventura, California, is taking a leadership role in organizing it. Here is the link again:
I think this is going to be phenomenal.
Yes, of course we are responsible for most of it.
But I was wondering about something else, this evening.
Suppose that the climate/biosphere system seeks stability.
Lovelock certainly thinks so.
Is the decline in CO2 levels over the past tens of millions of years evidence that the climate system is finding stability at lower and lower levels of CO2?
Astrophysicists tell us that according to the standard model of stellar evolution, the sun is a few percent hotter now than it was hundreds of millions of years ago. John Cook of Skeptical Science tells us this:
Atmospheric CO2 levels have reached spectacular values in the deep past, possibly topping over 5000 ppm in the late Ordovician around 440 million years ago. However, solar activity also falls as you go further back. In the early Phanerozoic, solar output was about 4% less than current levels. The combined net effect from CO2 and solar variations are shown in Figure 2. Periods of geographically widespread ice are indicated by shaded areas.
Periods of low CO2 coincide with periods of geographically widespread ice (with one notable exception, discussed below). This leads to the concept of the CO2-ice threshold – the CO2 level required to initiate a glaciation. When the sun is less active, the CO2-ice threshold is much higher. For example, while the CO2-ice threshold for present-day Earth is estimated to be 500 ppm, the equivalent threshold during the Late Ordovician (450 million years ago) is 3000 ppm.
So, has the climate system been finding stability at lower and lower levels of CO2, due to the brighter sun?
Apparently so.
There is good carbon isotope ratio evidence of several massive releases of methane from hydrates in the past. The geologists talk about the End Permian, the Early Toracian, the Early Aptian, and the Paleocene/Eocene thermal maximum, as having very good evidence of several gigaton releases of methane from methane hydrates. The times assigned to these events are 250, 185, 120, and 50 million years ago, approximately. Estimates of carbon released during these events vary quite a bit but are typically several billion tons of methane. These methane releases seem to be associated as well with oceanic anoxic events and severe and rapid global warming.
What I was wondering, though, is whether it will stop, this time. If we ignite runaway global warming, leading to a methane catastrophe, will it stop, this time?
The sun is brighter, now, and our triggering CO2 increases are occurring faster- hundreds, even thousands of times faster.
jcwinnie,#13-I saw this computer game mentioned in a UK newspaper, -'The Guardian',I think. The story contained a paragraph in the introduction that was not present in the main body of the story. It outlined a possible scenario where 'you', (the gamer/God) decide to create a virus to massively cull humanity, having decided, in your omniscience, that overpopulation was the root cause of ecological collapse.
I was quite struck by just how carelessly such a genocidal and evil proposition had been included in the game's make-up, and how it was reported without comment, as if it was just another possible course of action. Now, call me old-fashioned or a victim of 'moral vanity' (a common term of abuse in Australia, used by Rupert's Moloch's retinue of trained cane-toad propagandists, to refer to those with less evil inclinations than themselves)but I found this disgraceful and disturbing.Disgraceful because mass murder upsets my moral equilibrium, and disturbing because I keep seeing references to 'over-population' coming from the Right and some ersatz 'Left environmentalists', depicted as the root cause of all our woes, and I can't help thinking that we are being softened-up for something very nasty.

After studying a recent atlas of the earth I have concluded:
1. There are few humans on the earth.
2. Humans occupy are small portion of the earth's surface.
3. Humans have irreversible changed an even smaller portion of the earth's surface by construction of cities and urban areas.
4. About 50% of humans live in urban areas.
5. Humans are migrating in ever increasing numbers from rural to urban areas, i.e., they are abandoning the countryside.
A substantial fraction of the humans live in povery and consume little of the earth's resources. Unfortunately they cause much enviromental damage by living off the land for food and resources suchas fire wood.
Much of the flooding in Pakistan and China is due to deforestation.
There are vast areas of the earth that are unpopulated by humans such as Siberia, Canada. Alaska, etc.
The earth appears to be over populated because most televisions broad casts orginate in cities and urban areas. The earth seems small due to instant world wide communications systems in particular due to satellite TV.
Humans have modified portions of the earth's surface for agriculure. For example, much of the Great Plains have been modified for farming. Where there was once native grasses and wild animals, there are modified grasses such cereal grains and domesticsted animals.
There are vast areas of earth that have been set aside as parks, recreational areas, and certain wilderness areas that are off limits to humans. Indeed, so much land has been set aside that an avid envromentalist could be on safari forever. So why are they still complaining and challenging every new human projects?
Because they are low life wiseyguys who are running an enivormental protection racket, and they and their lawyers are shaking down goverments and companies for billions in out of court settlements. I recently read an article about this but forget to bookmark it.
There is several ways to put end to these rackets. When they file a enviromental law suit, the judge could require them to produce evidence (i.e., a signed letter or form) that a majority of their members have approved the lawsuit. If they do win a law suit, the defendents should pay them off with pennies, nickels and dimes delivered to their office by a cement truck.
A good example of this is the law suit they filed on behalf of delta smelt which they claimed was threatened by diverson of water from the Sacramento river for irrigation in the Cental Valley.
The real reason is that the super rich city guys want the land for their country estates and hobby farms which they can buy for peanuts after the farmers go bust. This is "China Town" all over again.
These guys should be charged with violation of the RICO laws. Who put up the money for the lawsuit: the rich silk-stocking enviros and limosine liberals (cf, A. Branch in L&O episode). If they do aquire the iand, the water will of course flow in abundance. Big swimming pools and horses need lots of water.
Deborah, I almost missed that all-important link! Thank you so much for posting it.
Looking at the readily computer orbital forcing, one sees that it has been increasing for about 2000 years now. So it is possible that a small portion of the warming since the minimum during the LIA is due to changes in orbital elements, which redistribute the sun's heat. I've made modest attempts to determine this and standard methods produce 0.06 K per century during the instrumental period (since 1`880 CE). That about 10% of the total and for other reason the value determined seems rather large. So I'll say about 95% of the warming since 1880 CE is man-made.
Other data suggests not more than 0.02 K per century warming due to change in orbital elements. So using 0.772 K as the warming over the past 100 years, at most 2.6% is presumably due to natural causes, leaving ~97% man-made.
One correction in my post number 17, for the record, although probably very few people are visiting this thread any more:
I kept saying gigatons, or billions of tons of carbon. I should have been saying teratons, or trillions of tons of carbon. The isotope ratio spikes are fit best by several trillion tons of carbon from the methane hydrates, entering the atmosphere and oceans.
This of course makes the problem worse, and runaway methane releases from the hydrates much more serious than the original post made these events sound. Sorry for the mistake.

I noticed that a lot of people do what I do when writing a post: use MS word to write, edit, proofread, paste the text onto to Note or Wordpad to remove formatting and then pasting it either into a Blog or Emai message. A formatting problem usually comes up when apostrophes, colons etc turn into symbols. This became clear when my blog was moved to a new server and over 100 of my posts has question marks floating everywhere. I still don't know what to do to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.
But the real thing I was to propose is if WordPress can either provide an upgrade in the Writing functionality to including Spell Check at minimum...or to make this pasting of MSword files compatible with WordPress to avoid mishaps like the "question marks" thing that is just too exhaustive to fix through manual editing.

After careful review of the options with our family natpath, we chose to get the Infanrix brand of DTAP for our 3yr son.
The problem is that our pediatrician has an exclusionary contract with whichever pharmaceutical company she buys from, so she can't order anything different. She's willing to write a perscription for it if we can find a pharmacy that can get it, and she's willing to administer it if we can get it.
So far I can't find a pharmacy that can get it. Turns out there are two clinics in town that have it, but because it's in house and not through their pharmacy, our doc can't get it from them.
Our county health authority is willing to help us, but I haven't heard back, and my suspicion is they will not be able to help.
We can't change PCPs just to get the vaccine from one of those two clinics because our son has state health insurance, and there is currently a freeze on provider changes.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
p.s. We are in a bit of a time crunch because our son may have to start chemotherapy at the beginning of March. I need to get this started asap so that there's time for the second one.
BF'ing, CD'ing, BW'ing, Selective/delayed vaxing, Cosleeping , AP mama to Jonah (11/5/2010) and Rory (8/29/12). Wife to Anthony since 12/30/2011.
Honestly, I left the research up to our natpath for this, so I didn't even know about Daptacel. She doesn't give vaccines herself and can't order them, but is generally good at research. I was going to have to get the insurance company to accept some special referral for us to go to that other clinic to get the Infanrix.
Now I see from a few online comparison charts that the Daptacel appears to be the "best" option. Whew!! It turns out our public health office carries it. We can easily make an appt. there.
Thanks for your help!
I'm glad things worked out for you! Good thoughts for the chemo...

To the Editor.—
How can there be a "consensus" when all relevant information is not presented?I wish to clarify several points attributed to me in the recent MEDICAL NEWS article (1980;244:1079) on the National Cancer Institute Consensus Conference on Adjuvant Chemotherapy of Breast Cancer.1Regarding the use of adjuvant chemotherapy for node-negative (stage I) cases, I reported on the preliminary results of a pilot study wherein two patients have relapsed out of 52 treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. At no time during the conference did I advocate the routine use of adjuvant chemotherapy in this setting—I repeatedly stated that this is an on-going research program and that the preliminary results should be judged on their own merits. Since many larger groups of investigators (eg, cooperative groups) are now just initiating controlled trials for stage I cases, the data we presented from our pilot program might provide some background and

Something Fishy Is Going on With Russia!
Is the quirky magazine running out of financing? One editor says yes, owners say no.
The quirky mag lost its editor, a Canadian "business culture" magazine is headed online-only, and Joel Stein enters a brave new world — or at least attempts to.
• Canada's Unlimited magazine, a business and work-culture publication, has suspended its print edition. "Interestingly enough, the advertisers that had been committed to the print edition have all elected to move their planned expenditures to the online magazine," said Ruth Kelly, president and publisher of Venture Publishing. "That's incentive for us to explore some very innovative approaches to the website." [Masthead Online]

If you add a couple images the first time it's fine. If you go back and edit the Property and add another image it deletes all the other images. I found that if I add another field to the Image class it seems to work correctly.

Actually, adding another field does not solve the problem. Only if there is another field _with_ core=True and that field is not of type ImageField it will work as expected.

Privatisation, Regulation, and Competition in South Asia
Privatisation has begun to accelerate in India and Pakistan. However, it is not clear that a change in ownership per se will contribute significantly to a more rapid, efficient, and equitable growth unless policies that ensure competition for these enterprises and remove distortions in factor markets also are undertaken at the same time or prior to privatisation. After a brief discussion of the transition from state-led development to more market-oriented policies and gradual opening to world markets, this paper reviews some of the analytical literature on privatisation and regulation. The translation of these theories into concrete policy suggestions is difficult for countries such as Pakistan and India, where many of the assumptions behind the theories do not hold. However, the results of empirical studies on past privatisations around the world do hold lessons for South Asia. Similarly, theories of regulation offer only broad recommendations, most notably (for South Asia) that regulation is not the best way to redistribute resources. The final section of the paper reviews India's and Pakistan's experience with privatisation thus far. Attempted privatisation of electricity in India serves as an example of the need for more attention to regulation, while the transfer of ownership has led to better service at lower cost in the telecommunications sector. Pakistan's privatisation programme appears to have had similarly mixed results, though it is difficult to come to firm conclusions with the evidence at hand.

Ahead of the Sept. 25 Blu-ray and DVD release of Marvel's The Avengers, EW.com has debuted a deleted scene from the Joss Whedon-directed blockbuster featuring Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner.
The clip expands on the sequence in which the Hulk plummets from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier into an old factory, and Banner awakens amid a pile of rubble to be greeted by an unfazed security guard (played by veteran character actor Harry Dean Stanton). The expanded scene finds Ruffalo's character struggling with whether to return to the fight to save the planet, and with his nature: Is he, as Stanton asks, "a big guy that gets all little, or a little guy that sometimes blows up large"?
The four-disc Blu-ray combo pack retails for $49.99; the two-disc Blu-ray combo back is $39.99. The one-disc DVD is $29.99. The Avengers also stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Clark Gregg as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson, Cobie Smulders as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Maria Hill and Stellan Skarsgård as Dr. Selvig.
"I'm Harry Dean Stanton!"
I really think this would have been fine to leave in.
For all your Geek needs
That was cool.
Disney just killed fun again.
all of the cut scenes should be re-included in an extended unrated version

Experts noted that peer-reviewed studies on how fracking affects public health were few and far between; that the process had the potential to pollute New York's many reservoirs and aquifers; and that the economic benefit to the state would be "clearly lower than intially forecast."
Due to a bizarre quirk in New York's constitution, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) could win a landslide popular vote victory this fall -- and yet still wind up having to give up the governor's mansion to a candidate that the majority of his state's voters did not want as their governor.

Depending on how you WANT to READ the 10Q, there's no doubt that whom ever wrote it was trying to cast a very negative, dark cloud over AFFYs' outlook. Which begs the question....Why not just file BK and get it over with? Who benefits from a this stall? Anyone trying to accumulate shares, thats who! BIG HOLDERS maybe! If they file BK, they would FORFEIT the "O" payments-not gonna happen. Thats why they will have to be absorbed by Takeda, there is no other option in order to get the payments! Affymax is just stripping down to their barebones (reduce staff, operating expenses,ect...) to do Takeda a favor before merger. Takeda will just pay shareholders for the potential payments. At what discount is anyones guess!
the short squeeze is tomorrow this is just the start
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The news is just about out.
After some simple math, I believe is worth $5.40 to $6.00 a share in a buyout, or... 1 Takeda share for every 4 Affymax.
Interesting that Takeda (TKPYY) stock price is going down. It is true that the didn't forecast good #'s for '13, due to investments designed to drive mid to long range growth (Inviragen-aquisition,Ligocyte-buyout,Affymax-?) Both companies were private, and were CASH and milestone payment deals. No stock was issued in the deals. When companies offer cash AND a specific # of shares in a buyout, they would like there PPS to go down, this reduces ultimatley what they pay for the company. So it makes sense that they plan to make a tender offer by the price action of both stocks-Takeda down and Affymax up. Affymax stock is up in volume and price because the deal has been leaked, and Takeda stock fell due to ...poor forecasts, a leak.. "people in the know" see future dilution of the float, and how it will help reduce the deals bottomline.
It's so entertaining to watch the slow kids try to do math
Sentiment: Strong Sell
The AFFY executives are really the primary beneficiaries of waiting to file for bankruptcy after the shareholder's meeting. They will be paid their golden parachutes/termination compensation while AFFY still has the cash. Afterwards, Chapter 11 reorganization will be filed. A reorganized AFFY may emerge still owning the Takeda milestone/royalties deal, free of litigation worries and flush with new financing whether through debt but most likely new equity. The current AFFY shareholders will be given the opportunity to buy new AFFY shares, but the old AFFY shares will become worthless or nearly so. That is how Chapter 11 reorganization works. Ask the GM shareholders. They will tell you so.
Wow, your posts show total ignorance of the law. Every bankruptcy court does a "look back" to make sure nothing (NOTHING) has been pilfered (under any illegal or LEGAL construct) during the period prior to BK. Such acts are FELONIES, ALL PROCEEDS WILL BE SOUGHT AND SECURED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE. So unless you're suggesting that management is intentionally seeking jail time for such manipulation with full restitution of such "parachutes" (PLUS PENALTIES that will personally bankrupt whatever they have left and leave their families with NOTHING), then your argument has NO LEGAL STANDING...BUT NICE TRY!!!
I don't think Takeda wants to buy AFFY; they don't have to, they already have full control of Omontys and AFFY has nothing else that Takeda would be interested in.
Takeda does hold all financial responsibilities for "O", but not full control of "O". Takeda must pay milestone and royalty payments if "O" is put back on the market.
They don't just get the drug for free. The drug is an asset that is worth something. If it comes back on the market, it's worth a lot. Takeda doesn't own it, Affy does.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginPatricia was living down the street from Hershel's family with her boyfriend Otis. Hershel, realizing that his farm was a safer place from zombies, invited the two to stay with his family in hopes that they could ride out the zombie plague.CreationWritten by Robert Kirkman and drawn by Charlie Adlard.Major Story ArcsOn the farm, Patricia has to mourn with the Greene family over the tragic deaths of Arnold, Lacey, and Shawn. When Rick's group gets kicked off the farm Patricia stays and helps to maintain the property. Zombies begin attacking more frequently until Rick comes back to inform Hershel and family that a prison has been found with ample supplies. Patricia goes to the prison and leaves Otis behind to care for the cattle. Hershel figures the two are having relationship issues. Patricia confirms this with a private conversation she has with Thomas when she explains that she and Otis have broken up.Odd DecisionsWhen Thomas tries to cut off Andrea's head the group realize that it was he who killed Susie and Rachel Greene. Patricia can't believe how a nice man could do such horrible things. She is abhorred when she sees Rick beat the crap out of Thomas, nearly killing. Once Thomas is put in a cell to await hanging, she tries to help him escape. She thinks his sentence is unfair since she feels he is crazy and not evil. Once out of his cell, Thomas turns on Patricia and tries to strangle her. She gets away by scratching his face. Maggie shows up and shoots Thomas six times to kill him.The group throws Thomas' body to the zombies outside the gates and then gets met by Dexter and Andrew, two inmates bent on kicking Rick's group out of the prison. The extent of her aid is unknown, but Patricia admits to having helped the two on the condition that no one dies. The coup is interrupted, however, by zombies from a building that Dexter and Andrew inadvertently let out and the group goes into survival mode. Rick shoots Dexter in the fracas and Tyreese upbraids Andrew and Patricia when all is said and done. Andrew flees the jail while Patricia stays. Otis confronts her when he comes back to the prison and explains that he is fine being broken up, especially after the stupid things she's done while he's been away.Laying LowTime goes by and Patricia helps in the garden. She shies away from the group for the most part. Otis comes around one day to see Patricia reading Moby Dick. With so little people around, Otis figures the two should at least be friends. Patricia agrees, though very cautiously. Just then, Dale drives his RV out of the prison to pick up Tyreese who had been looking for Rick, Glenn, and Michonne. The RV gets stuck coming back in and Patricia sends Otis to help with the gates while she helps people inside. Otis dies. Patricia keeps a low profile again until Rick gets back with his small group from Woodbury.With some time to relax, Patricia stays a recluse, feeling she's the pariah of the group. She learns of Glenn and Maggie's wedding but doesn't get an invitation. Billy finally convinces her to go since invitations can't be made and the assumption is that everyone is going to show up. The wedding seems to wake Patricia up and she goes back outside and is surprised the garden is doing so well. She even makes it out to a basketball game and cheers on the girl team.In anticipation of an attack from Woodbury and the need for a quick escape, Patricia joins the group in packing up a truck with supplies. She even joins in on target practice. After Carol's suicide-by-zombie, Patricia lends a hand in watching the kids. Then Woodbury attacks.Patricia is inside with kids when the attack begins. Woodbury soon retreats and the group assesses their injuries. Rick is the worst off with a gun shot to the stomach and needs a blood transfusion. Patricia has blood type O-negative and is more than willing to help. Axel has also been shot. Patricia helps him keep his mind off his arm by having sex with him. Alice walks in on the two.A bit later, a Woodbury truck returns. The Governor emerges and shows that he has captured Tyreese. When the group refuses to abandon the prison, the Governor chops off Tyreese's head. Patricia watches in horror. Once the Governor departs, Axel comforts Patricia in the cafeteria. Woodbury returns and begins another assault. On the grounds, Axel is shot in the head and dies in Patricia's arms. When things intensify Billy tries to get Patricia to safety. It's too late. Patricia gets a bullet to the head.

Water Tower, Chicago: 3 reviews and 1 photos
Poor horsies. They've got to be frightened by all the car traffic. I've read somewhere that there is a city agency that works to make sure that they are fairly treated, but I've never heard anything from the horses' point of view.
Fun Alternatives: Why not just walk?
Or take a taxi up and down Lake Shore Boulevard to the Lakeview neighborhood and back. That way you can really see Chicago's magnificent skyline.

Monetary Diet Plan
After I signed the bill for dinner last night, I did a mental calculation of how much I'd spent on food in a one week span. Between a birthday dinner, a trip to the Cinnamon Snail, pit stop to Whole Foods, a couple trips to the vending machine at work, and an 'Oh, thank goodness the work week is over' splurge meal at Wild Ginger last night, I decided I need to close my wallet. There are so many amazing places to eat in NYC, but eating out is not only difficult on the bank account, but on the waist; … Continue reading Monetary Diet Plan

WP-Cumulus and my Kimili Embedded Flash piece will not display simultaneously. I have great sadness now.
Kimili Flash Embed 1.4.2
Wordpress 2.6
WP-Cumulus 1.13
Can you tell me what you do see when you try to use both at the same time? As far as I can tell, Kimili also uses the SWFObject library, and I've successfully used multiple instances of SWFObject on the same page before. Perhaps we're both suing the same variable names or something...
(also, your website appears to have a few markup errors, something SWFObject really objects to)
of course I can, and thank you.
When both are activated, the Kimili-embedded Flash piece on the home page does not appear. WP-Cumulus appears.
If you can give me more details the markup errors: I don't expect a full list but just an example and how you went about locating them.
It doesn't show any errors right now. Did you change anything since my last post? There were XML parsing errors. Those can cause SWFObject to fail. The SWFObject code used by Kimili looks like it shouldn't any trouble (it uses inique names and such).
since your first posting I fixed two unclosed div tags. those didn't seem to affect the issue though. i left the error up so you could view it: percentjuice.com
thank you again sir.
going to remove the error from my site. let me know if you do need to see it.
Can you guys help me get kimili's plugin working? It doesn't appear on my homepage correct. In addition, it doesn't show up on any other pages.
Assuming you have WP-Cumulus activated, and deactivating WP-Cumulus isn't the solution you're looking for, you have the issue I have.

Liz Swados: 1951-2016
January 6, 2016
Seven Stories Press joins with New York City and the world in mourning our friend and author Liz Swados, who passed away yesterday at the age of 64. Liz was a beacon of New York's downtown culture, an artist of rare generosity with a genius for making us feel the connections between hardship and resilience, beauty and truth, one person and another.
Born in Buffalo, New York in 1951, Liz began making a name for herself in the New York theater before she had even finished her undergraduate studies at Bennington College. Greater exposure came in 1978, with the smash success of Runaways, a theater piece Liz wrote and directed. It was based on conversations she'd had with teenage runaways — some of whom went on to star in the show — and its success exceeded all expectations: after a successful run at New York's Public Theater, it was nominated for five Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, and an Obie (which, for her direction, Liz won).
Thanksgiving with Howard Zinn
November 25, 2015
No reason to mince words: Thanksgiving is a weird holiday, one that celebrates a deplorable, genocidal history, yet is also, for many of us, a treasured chance to spend some down-time with those we love, and even, for some, an opportunity to check in and contemplate the actual gratitude for what we have, coexisting with the anger over the state of things that drives us to make change. In short, like much of American life, it's complicated.
In the interest of fostering a critical approach to that kind of complexity, and, as they say, in the spirit of the season, we wanted to share this excerpt from the classic Voices of People's History of the United States, beginning with an explanatory note by authors Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove:
On the three hundred fiftieth anniversary of the Pilgrims' landing on Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts officials planned a celebration, and asked Wamsutta (Frank B.) James to deliver a speech.
Middle East History and Current Policy from Kirk J. Beattie and Loretta Napoleoni
November 19, 2015Let's not mince words: it's been a ghastly week. Catastrophic violence in Beirut and Paris, taking place against the backdrop of Europe's ongoing refugee crisis, Syria's ever-worsening civil war, and the Islamic State's brutal expansion across Iraq, Syria, and beyond, have reminded us all just how precarious matters are in the Middle East.These same events have also left many of us confused. ISIS, Islamic State, or Daesh? With so many enemies, does the US have any allies in the region? What are the goals of the Western powers' airstrikes? And, perhaps most crucially of all, how did we get to this point? What is the history that has led us here?Kirk J. Beattie, the author of Congress and the Shaping of the Middle East, and Loretta Napoleoni the author of many books including The Islamist Phoenix: The Islamic State and the Redrawing of the Middle East, offer unparalleled insights into what's happening in the middle east and radiating across the world.
Kirk J. Beattie with Larry King
November 17, 2015
Last week, long-time Middle East-watcher and author of Congress and the Shaping of the Middle East Kirk J. Beattie sat down with the legendary Larry King to talk Israel, Palestine, Washington, and more. What ensued was an edifying conversation that has only grown more timely in the few days since it took place, worth watching in its entirety:
Thank you, Edward Snowden
October 29, 2015
America's corporate media tends to take a fairly — ahem – sedate attitude towards actual news, especially when there's some good political horse racing to keep the ratings up. But today, there is some actual news that Americans really ought to care about: the European Parliament has officially declared Edward Snowden an "international human rights defender," calling on all EU member states to drop any criminal charges against the whistle-blower and guarantee him freedom from extradition to the US, where he still faces charges.
The resolution, which followed what EU Civil Liberties Committee chair Claude Moraes described as the Parliament's "most comprehensive investigation completed to date," marks a tremendous moment of international support for Snowden.
The announcement shouldn't have come as too much of a shock to readers of Snowden, the acclaimed recent graphic biography by Ted Rall, which noted that European governments had taken serious notice of Snowden's revelations:
Another book we're proud to publish is Censored, an annual collection of un- and underreported news stories from the heroic Project Censored.
All the news too fit to print
October 9, 2015
"Half the world's wealth owned by its richest 1%"
"Government Spying 'Chills' Writers' Freedom of Expression"
"Popular Resistance to Corporate Water Grabbing"
Imagine a world where these headlines dominated news reports. These stories are absolutely true, but you won't find them on the front pages, because they threaten the interests of the powerful corporations that hold our news media in a headlock.
Enter Project Censored – an organization that, for forty years, has fought to save our democracy from "junk food news" by telling the real stories crucial for an understanding of the world we're living in.
In what has become an annual source of information and a rallying cry for intellectual courage, Project Censored each year produces a book that includes the top 25 underreported news stories, crucial independent reportage from around the world, and sharp analysis of the news that has dominated the corporate press over the past twelve months.
Fall is falling! Books are arriving!
September 25, 2015
Ah, autumn. That time of year when we remember three glorious months of sunbathing, kite-flying, and barbecuing, and think, Well, that was weird. Whether you're the type who thrills to summer's end or you're already saying Ah! for those vanished summer nights, we've got a fall list that'll give you something to wella-wella about.
We live in an unprecedented kind of society: one that is relentlessly focused not on the problem-ridden here and now, but rather on the future. Huge amounts of capital — both literal and cultural — await the person who can gain control of narratives not yet written and "create the future." In Trees on Mars, explosive contrarian Hal Niedzviecki talks to scholars and entrepreneurs, experts and educators, to find the truth about the world our relentless preoccupation with the yet-to-come may be creating.
Who's afraid of the Big Bad Rall?
August 5, 2015
For Ted Rall – editorial cartoonist, unembedded war reporter, and longtime Seven Stories author — it's been a rough week.
Last May, Ted wrote a short editorial on the LAPD's treatment of jaywalkers for the LA Times, a newspaper that had often published his cartoons and columns. Rall began his piece by describing a time he had been stopped by the LAPD for jaywalking in 2001:
"All of a sudden, a motorcycle officer zoomed over, threw me up against the wall, slapped on the cuffs, roughed me up and wrote me a ticket. It was an ugly scene, and in broad daylight it must have looked like one, because within minutes there were a couple of dozen passersby shouting at the cop.
"Another motorcycle officer appeared, asked the colleague what the heck he was thinking and ordered him to let me go, which he did. But not before he threw my driver's license into the sewer."
Shockingly, more than ten weeks later, the Times announced it was unceremoniously firing Rall, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated former president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, over the article.
So we hear people like Minecraft…
July 10, 2015
In 2013, we were delighted to publish Minecraft: The Unlikely Tale of Markus "Notch" Persson and the Game that Changed Everything. The results were pretty huge: the book was praised as "a celebration of the power of imagination and creativity," its authors were cheered for their detailed portrait of a game designer who was "more like a musician or a painter," and tens of thousands of copies flew off shelves — sometimes faster than we could print 'em.
We got the message: people really like Minecraft! So when we heard, late in 2014, that Microsoft was looking to buy Minecraft's parent company, Mojang, for upwards of two billion-with-a-b dollars, we decided it was time to update our book. The new second edition of Minecraft is shaping up to be just as big of a deal — already Wired magazine has published an excerpt, and fans have been clamoring for copies of the expanded edition since well before its release.
Vive le Ralph!
June 11, 2015
In a recent column in Salon, Bill Curry wrote:
"Though a private citizen, [Ralph] Nader [has] shepherded more bills through Congress than all but a handful of American presidents. If that sounds like an outsize claim, try refuting it. His signature wins [have] included landmark laws on auto, food, consumer product and workplace safety; clean air and water; freedom of information, and consumer, citizen, worker and shareholder rights. In a century only Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson passed more major legislation."
Since the publication, half a century ago, of Ralph's landmark Unsafe at any Speed (by which he initiated the consumer movement, in Curry's words, "as just one guy banging away at a typewriter"), he has been perhaps America's foremost voice of conscience and public sobriety, a champion of working- and middle-class Americans, and the unofficial First Citizen of our republic.
When things get serious, Ralph's who you want around.

Extension methods are a feature of C# 3.0 that is just one of those features which can be easily overlooked.
A lot of .NET old-timers, like myself, who are particularly kept busy on a daily basis trying to meet a project deadline or build the next biggest, baddest Line of Business application (wow.. that just sounds soo sexy doesn't it?) will often fall back on old practices. .NET has trained me to often create a number of helper classes, such as a StringValidationHelper etc., in order to do things like validating user-entered data. So for instance, I could have a class that looks like the following:
And here's how you use it:
Nothing too exciting here so far…
But watch out! Here come Extension Methods!
With Extension Methods, I can change add a method onto the string class itself. And it doesn't matter if the class is sealed!
Here's my adjusted StringHelper class:
Notice that all I had to do was add the keyword this before the string data argument.
Now I can use the IsValidPhoneNumber method directly from my string variable:
Ah.. that's more like it. This code now looks a lot less cluttered.
Of course this is a contrived example but nevertheless illustrates how easy it is to use this very cool feature of C#.
Some of you who have been using LINQ may not realize that LINQ itself heavily uses Extension Methods, particularly on the IEnumerable interface. This occurs when you import the System.Linq namespace. Try it out – look at the IEnumerable interface intellisense before and after you import the System.Linq namespace.
