Being new to PHP I was wanting to eventually make my site utilize a user login due to a disclaimer I need the folks to read and agree to prior to using the site. So I'm exploring my options. I was wondering if there was a way when they registered to automatically add them to the WordPress database with the same username and password at a specific level that would not complicate matter's. Something like a string array (if thats what I'm looking for) that would make the two databases seemless. Has anyone seen any post like this or articles writen on how to do this?
Thank you!

does anyone know why my website does not appear on google?
and how can i fix it?
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
does anyone know why my website does not appear on google?
and how can i fix it?
You need to wait until google bot indexes( or finds ) your site. Generally, it takes a few weeks.
Edit: Guessing your site is just 3 days old.
oh, its not about meta tags and stuff right?
is there a way to test it or something?
I've seen few sites indexed without meta tags. So I guess it's not about meta tags, now its always about speed, readability, standards, uptime et cetera.
Go to Google and do a search for "site:www.purehousevibes.com". That will show you all the pages from your site that Google have indexed.
Your best bet would be to sign up for a Google Webmaster account, add your site to it and submit your sitemap. Then Google will know about all your pages.
when i type for example, house music beats on google, i want my site to be indexed how could i do that? :S
so if i use
User-agent: *
Allow: /
on robots.txt would be better?
Check this, its just basic but helps.
User-agent: *
Allow: /*
Would be better but I doubt even that would make any difference.
Looking at your site, your biggest SEO problem is that there is hardly any real content. Most of the posts consist of just images and download links which the search engines aren't going to pay much attention to. If you want to start tanking well for search terms like "pure house beats" then you'll need to have content on your site the relates to pure house beats (maybe write a few articles about it). Give Google a reason to rank your site for those search terms.
ooh.. i see... well my website is about downloading music so... i couldnt actually write any articles i am afraid
Shouldnt there be any plugin or something that will index my website on google when someone writes down "house music" for example?
i used http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ for my sitemap though

Hi there,
I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I was wondering if somebody could shed some light over a problem I'm having. I was wonder if it was possible to replace the headers of each of my categories with an image so that each category has its own.
I tried featured category images but this places the image at the top of the page, ideally I would like it to replace where the Category title usually sits.
I'm using the Custom Community theme, any idiot-proof instructions would be greatly appreciated.

We see the preferred share shakeout as a great buying opportunity, particularly among rate-reset preferreds -- especially those that have a rate reset of at least two years into the future -- as their plunge in prices has made their yields attractive and there is significant potential for capital gains if and when Canadian interest rates do begin to rise.
The long-awaited liftoff is here: the U.S. Federal Reserve has announced they are raising the Federal Funds Target Rate to 0.5 per cent. It is the first time in seven years the Fed has increased their trend-setting interest rate, which they cut to 0 per cent on December 16, 2008. Markets had widely anticipated the move, with 81 per cent calling for a hike today. As the U.S. is the largest economy in the world, any change it makes reverberates through the rest of the globe, impacting markets and even the cost of borrowing for other countries.
How do governments "create" money? That is the very relevant question a Sun reader asked me after reading one of my columns. Well, physical cash is only a tiny portion of existing money. Most of it nowadays simply exists as digits in computers. Granted, monetary economics is one of the most boring and technical topics in the field of economics. But given what is at stake in this risky experiment, we all have an interest in better understanding what is going on.

Random Runners, an auto-runner from Ravenous Games, is now available from the app store. Despite employing a similar art style as many of their other offerings, Random Runners fails to excite or intrigue us in any way.
Random Runners Pros:
- Retains old school pixel-art style
- Nearly four dozen campaign levels and an Endless mode
- Chiptune soundtrack dovetails with visual style nicely
- Several new characters and weapons to purchase
- GameCenter integration for leaderboards and achievements
Random Runners Cons:
- Controls are non-customizable and often non-responsive
- Weapons are usually useless due to fixed firing plane and lack of time to kill enemies
- Gameplay is not exciting and characters feel too similar to each other
- Does not meet the Ravenous Games standard
Random Runners sees you taking control of one of about two dozen random heroes, making your way through fairly short levels containing spike pits, spiked balls, and a smattering of enemies. You have three buttons: jump, slide, and fire. Running is constant and automatic, forever sending you toward the right side of the screen, save for the infrequent wall-jumping opportunities. The responsiveness of the buttons was not great, and there were times that some buttons (menu buttons in particular) did not work at all. The jumping felt a little floaty and the game speed was a tad slow. We had to double-check that this was a Ravenous Games app, as we are so used to enjoying the super-tight controls of the League of Evil series. Your hero has three hearts worth of health, and each time he contacts an enemy or obstacle, he loses a heart.
The game felt tuned toward causing you to lose your hearts, as huge chasms can only be cleared if you jump at the very last second and rolling spike balls are rarely cleared cleanly due to a lack of jumping power. Missing the chasm jumps usually causes you to wall-jump back into a pit of spikes, which will sometimes cost you a couple of hearts by the time you get out. Firing your weapon will shoot bullets on a horizontal plane, which is pointless when enemies are moving up or down an incline toward you. You often don't have enough time to do enough damage to an enemy before your auto-running pace sends you past him. Even when he explodes into coins, if you've already passed the enemy, you cannot stop and collect the coins. There are a bunch of other coins spread around the level, as well as stars and gems to collect. You'll need both coins and gems to purchase new characters and guns, each with their own stats. Some characters can jump higher or have greater health ratings, while better guns do more damage. It's pretty easy to earn the necessary currency to unlock these features, though the game just wasn't enjoyable enough to keep us playing long enough to do so.
Graphically, the visuals are reminiscent of most other Ravenous Games offerings, which is always nice to see. We love the art style, which is this game's best feature. The soundtrack employs a chiptune track that is fairly standard for Ravenous Games, too. We always look forward to the audio, as it dovetails well with the graphics. The controls were a definite shortcoming, and it took us a while to get used to the jump and slide buttons being on the left side of the screen. As the fire button was often an afterthought, we would have preferred that this appeared on the left. The fire and jump buttons would have felt more natural on the right. Despite many of its other offerings allowing you to customize the controls, we didn't find a way to do so in Random Runners.
Replay value lies in returning to completed levels to collect stars that you may have missed the first time. You can also grind to obtain more coins and gems to purchase the more expensive shop items. There is an Endless mode, as well, which should appeal to high score junkies. GameCenter integration provides five leaderboards and more than a dozen achievements to snag. A universal app for $0.99, Random Runners is a below-average 2.5-Dimple disappointment.

At the beginning of each of the ten videos in Fr. Robert Barron's "Catholicism" series, there is a scene in which thousands of white rose petals drift downward from the ceiling at Rome's Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore (St. Mary Major). It's a breathtaking symbol of the "miracle of the snow"—the rare summer snowfall which, according to legend, fell on August 5, 352, on the Esquiline Hill, one of the famed "Seven Hills" of Rome.It's a scene that's recreated each year on August 5, when the Ba … [Read more...]

Yesterday, I told you a little about Orvieto, the quaint Umbrian city that overlooks the Italian vineyards, like a diamond solitaire atop a precious ring. But I wasn't done being effusive!

Next day, a crystal picture frame. Then, an autographed book….So I talked, as I packed for my Rome trip, about … [Read more...]

Wednesday Jan. 28, 2009
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Kelvin Sampson has no intention of coaching college basketball anytime soon. Even if the NCAA lets him.
Sampson, now an assistant with the Milwaukee Bucks, confirmed Wednesday that he has an appealed the NCAA's punishment from an
infractions case leveled against him when he was coaching Indiana University.
"Because I think they were wrong," he told a small group of reporters. "They were wrong in every way. If I didn't think they were wrong, I wouldn't have appealed."
It's the first time Sampson has spoken at length about the NCAA's ruling, issued just before Thanksgiving.

Man allegedly robs 87-year-old woman
Published: Friday, January 14, 2011 at 8:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 14, 2011 at 8:41 a.m.
HOUMA – A 25-year-old Houma resident was arrested Thursday for allegedly robbing an 87-year-old woman.
Kenneth Little, 1312 Calvin St., is charged with armed robbery.
Little went to the woman's home on the 100 block of LeBouef Street last Saturday demanding money owed by her grandson, Houma Police said. When the woman refused to give Little any money, Little allegedly picked up a screwdriver, held it to the woman's neck and threatened the woman. Little took the woman's wallet and rode away on a bicycle, police said.
Little is being held at the Terrebonne Parish jail with no bond. He also had outstanding warrants for failure to appear and contempt of court.

Trouble Juggling
My son has trouble prioritizing work now that he's at college. He can't juggle going to class with homework and his social life. Can you suggest a plan he can follow?
The most effective plan will be one that your son creates and follows. If he acknowledges that he is having trouble, ask if he would be willing to talk with a coach or an advisor at school to help him figure out the best plan. You and your son could work on it together, if he is the one to choose how he will plan his time. Let's say he has an exam on Friday and a big party on Thursday night. What would be a realistic plan for studying during the week, spending time with friends at the party, and being rested for the Friday exam?
Few college students want to make plans with a parent, which is why a third party, such as an academic advisor, ADHD coach, or counselor at school, might be of value. Any one of them can help him attain a balance between his academic and social life. A good reference for you and your son is AD/HD and the College Student, by Patricia Quinn, M.D.

AbstractColumn chromatography of the alcoholic extract of Piper betle roots furnished aristololactam A-II and a new phenyl propene, characterized as 4-allyl resorcinol, while the petroleum-ether extract yielded a diketosteroid, viz. stigmast-4-en-3,6-dione. All these compounds were characterized by spectroscopic means. Isolation of these compounds from this source is being reported here for the first time.

NEW YORK — In a nod to the growing role of manufacturers' brand managers in making sourcing decisions, Cotton Incorporated last week reorganized its global product marketing division to directly target these managers, as well as its traditional audience of mill executives.
This story first appeared in the August 6, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Mike Tyndall, previously senior director of global product marketing, has been named senior director of Americas mill marketing. Dennis Horstman, previously manager of global product marketing, has been named director of brand marketing.
Both officials report to Dean Turner, senior vice president of global product marketing for the Cary, N.C.-based promotions organization.
"We have recognized more and more that the private label business, as well as the national brands, are really driving forces in our industry today," said Turner. "They source wherever they want to and we want to make sure they are using cotton, but we also want to make sure we are doing the best we can to help them compete."

Storm hits Poultney hardestStaff Report | July 03,2014Green Mountain Power spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said that Poultney, where winds in excess of 70 mph were reported, was the hardest hit by storm that blew into the region this evening.
"We've got multiple polls down, wires down," she said at around 7:30 p.m. "There's a lot going on in Poultney. We've got, at this point, 363 seperate events and about 5,000 customers without power and 2,000 of those are in Poultney."
Other heavy concentrations were in West Rutland and the city.
"Rutland was damaged by the same storm cell coming through, but to a lesser extent," she said.
Schnure said GMP had 55 of its own two-person line crews out along with 32 contract line crews and 50 contract tree crews.
She said further outages were possible as the storm system moved through the state and that the company expected it would not have power restored to everyone until the end of Friday.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

Main Street Theater
September, 1914. The topsy-turvy household of Captain Shotover and his daughter Hesione Hushabye entertains weekend guests: Ellie Dunn, her father, and her fiance. Unfortunately, Ellie's fiance is a scoundrel, her father is a bumbling prig, and she's actually in love with Hesione's husband Hector. This bold mix of farce and tragedy lampoons British society as it blithely ignores the catastrophe looming on the horizon that will become the War to End All Wars. "With the world seemingly on endless edge these days, and with plenty of Americans feeling disengaged from the circus of our cultural and political discourse, Shaw's bracing analysis of a civilization in decline seems more valuable than ever," wrote Charles Isherwood in 2006 of the Roundabout Theater Company's production. And being Shaw, of course sprinkled atop that bracing analysis is wit and humor - and sparkling Shavian language.

Pearl Theater
Pearl Theater will end its 2013/2014 season with a bang by bringing to life Robert Fulghum's bestselling, "All I Really Need to Know I learned in Kindergarten". What started out as an essay, turned best seller, turned stage adaptation, All I Really Need to Know I learned in Kindergarten remains popular because of its witty and undeniably charming look into 'everyman'. Utilizing a multi-generational cast to weave the funny, insightful and heartwarming tales, director Robyn LeGris hopes to provide audiences with many 'Aha' moments as they recognize times and people in their own life. "I love that we were able to cast both young and young at heart in this production, having a wide range of ages really adds to the authenticity of the stories." If you have read Robert Fulghum's books, you will recognize many of the delightful characters such as: a shy little boy who insists on playing the "pig" in his class production of Cinderella; a man whose dream of flying carries him high over Los Angeles � in a lawn chair buoyed by surplus weather balloons; a "mother of the bride" who's staged a perfect wedding-until the bowling ball of fate rolls down the aisle; and a modern-day Greek philosopher who finds the meaning of life in a piece of broken mirror from World War II. If you have not read his books, you can be assured that these stories celebrate our very existence, from the whimsy of childhood to the wisdom of old age. Performance dates and Times: May 16 - June 1 , 2014 � Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm � Sunday Matinees at 3pm (No Show May 18) � Buy One, Get One Free Thursday, May 22, 2014 at 7:30pm

I have problem with plugin on wordpress multi. After installation, is not showing plugin in setting section, in child websites.
Thanks for any help.
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
I have problem with plugin on wordpress multi. After installation, is not showing plugin in setting section, in child websites.
Thanks for any help.
Would you please be so kind and send us the link to the blog where you're having those problems? Also — what's wordpress multi and child websites?
We'd love to know more in order to help you out. Let us know here or on our email address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Looking forward to your reply! Take care & have a nice day!
I have the same problem on Multisite. Your immediate support is greatly appreciated.
Plugin had been Network Enabled.
Problem Desc:
Power Admin users are working well. For example siteA & siteB are owned by admin, both are running well.
siteC was owned by userA, no admin rights. Plugin cannot activate.
Error appear when click on "Turn On" button.
Error Message: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
Error Link:
Hey @shneoh, thanks for reaching out, we'll do our best to help you out!
The thing is, our plugin works best only if you have full page permissions for all WordPress's Dashboards. Could this be the case why our plugin is not behaving properly? Any chance you could get those admin permissions?
Let me know if this is possible or if I misunderstood you in any way — I'll gladly help!
Take care & have a nice day!
Thanks for quick response. Yes, the user tested with problem is those who dont have admin permissions. Since the site running is kind of multi-user-multi-sites environment, the users are not going to give any admin rights.
Any work-around so they can enjoy the benefits of your plugin without giving them admin rights?
To my understanding, a multi-site plugin like yours, should enables all level of users rights to have their own settings. This will only can called as multi-site plugin.
Hm, yes, I can now understand your problem, but I'm afraid this is yet not possible with our plugin.
The admin can enable our plugin to be activated for all of his sub-users (power or non-power users), but I'm afraid this is the only way to get it working for all users.
But (!!!) — we have identified the problem (our fault, obviously) and we will look into the permission model of our plugins to prevent situations like yours in the future. Hopefully this will get sorted sooner than later!
Anywho — thanks for bringing this to our attention, we really appreciate it!
Do let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any additional assistance — I'll gladly help!
Take care & have a nice weekend!
Has this issue been fixed yet?
I'm admin on a subsite of a multisite and I'm getting the same error that @shneoh described after clicking "Turn On".
Hey, thanks for bumping this topic again, much appreciated!
We must admit that it slipped down on our to-do list, but we are still aware of it & eager to get it sorted.
But we would also appreciate some help with it, if possible. Is there a chance you could send us your WP Dashboard's credentials, so that we could investigate further? We can completely understand if you're not comfortable with sharing this with us, but I'm afraid this might be the only viable solution for us right now, since we cannot replicate the same multisite environment on our side. It also goes without saying that your privacy is to our upmost concern, after which we will take all the extra precaution possible.
Let us know what you think and we'll do our best to help you out! I'm looking forward to your reply!
Take care & have a nice day!

Introduction and Overview
The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. You should read this discussion together with the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Historical results and any discussion of prospective results may not indicate our future performance. See "Cautionary Statements About Forward-Looking Information."
We are a leading stem cell company headquartered in Columbia, Maryland and focused on developing and marketing products to treat medical conditions in the inflammatory, cardiovascular, orthopedic and wound healing markets. We have two business segments, Therapeutics and Biosurgery. Our Therapeutics business is focused on developing biologic stem cell drug candidates from a readily available and non-controversial source-adult bone marrow. Our Biosurgery business, created in 2009 and operating as a separate segment since 2010, works to harness the ability of cells and novel constructs to promote the body's natural healing with the goals of improving surgical outcomes and offering better treatment options for patients and physicians.
In our Biosurgery business, we currently manufacture, market and distribute Grafix for tissue repair and Ovation for use in orthopedic, would healing, and surgical procedures. In our Therapeutics segment, our pipeline of internally developed biologic drug candidates under
evaluation includes Prochymal for inflammatory, autoimmune and cardiovascular indications, as well as Chondrogen for arthritis in the knee. During the second quarter of 2012, we received authorization from Health Canada to market our stem cell therapy Prochymal® for the treatment of refractory acute GvHD in children; and we have also since been granted marketing consent for Prochymal for the same indication in New Zealand. We believe our stem cell therapeutic products have significant therapeutic potential because of their ability to regulate inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and prevent pathological scar formation.
We began operations on December 23, 1992 and were a Delaware corporation until, with approval of our stockholders, we reincorporated as a Maryland corporation on May 31, 2010.
Therapeutics Segment. Our Therapeutics segment is focused on developing biologic stem cell drug candidates from a readily available and non-controversial source-adult bone marrow. Prochymal (remestemcel-L) has now been approved for the treatment of refractory acute graft versus host disease ("GvHD") in pediatric patients in Canada and New Zealand. In addition, we have a Prochymal Expanded Access Program for pediatric and adult patients in eight countries, including the U.S. Prochymal is also being evaluated in clinical trials for Crohn's disease, acute myocardial infarction, type 1diabetes and gastrointestinal injury resulting from radiation exposure (animal rule). Our pipeline of internally developed biologic drug candidates also includes Chondrogen for osteoarthritis in the knee.
The following table summarizes the status of our biologic drug candidates.
Drug Candidate Indication Status Prochymal Pediatric Refractory Acute GvHD Marketing Approval received from Health Canada in May 2012 and from Medsafe (New Zealand's medical regulatory agency) in June 2012 Refractory Acute GvHD in Available in eight countries pediatric and adult patients under Expanded Access Programs Biologics Refractory Crohn's Phase 3 Disease Acute Myocardial Infarction Phase 2 Type I Diabetes Mellitus Phase 2 Acute Radiation Syndrome Phase 3(Animal Rule) Chondrogen Osteoarthritis & Cartilage Phase 2 Protection
Clinical Program Update
In May 2012, we received approval from Health Canada to market Prochymal (remestemcel-L), for the treatment of refractory acute GvHD in children. We believe this is the world's first regulatory approval of a stem cell therapeutic drug product and the first therapy approved specifically for GvHD, a devastating complication of bone marrow transplantation that kills up to 80 percent of children affected, many within just weeks of diagnosis.
Prochymal was approved under Health Canada's Notice of Compliance with conditions (NOC/c) Policy, which provides expedited market clearance to high quality medical products that address significant unmet medical conditions and which have demonstrated favorable risk/benefit profile in clinical trials. Under the NOC/c pathway, the sponsor must agree to carry out confirmatory clinical testing.
Health Canada's approval was made following the recommendation of an independent expert advisory panel commissioned to evaluate Prochymal's safety and efficacy. In support of the application, Osiris submitted over 90,000 pages of data generated over a 20 year development cycle. In Canada, Prochymal is now approved for the management of acute GvHD in children who fail to respond to steroids. The approval was based on the results from clinical studies evaluating Prochymal in patients with severe refractory acute GvHD. Prochymal demonstrated a clinically significant response 28 days post initiation of therapy in 61-64 percent of patients treated. Furthermore, treatment with Prochymal resulted in a statistically significant improvement in survival when compared to an historical control population of pediatric patients with refractory GvHD (p=0.028). The survival benefit was most pronounced in patients with the most severe forms of GvHD. As a condition of approval, the clinical benefit of Prochymal will be further evaluated in a case-matched confirmatory study.
In addition to the extensive patent protection for Prochymal, Health Canada's decision will also provide Prochymal with regulatory exclusivity within the territory for the approved pediatric application. Canada affords eight years of exclusivity to Innovative Drugs such as Prochymal, and an additional six-month pediatric extension is available since it is intended to treat a pediatric population.
There have not been any other significant changes to our clinical programs in our Therapeutics segment since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Biosurgery Segment. Our Biosurgery segment seeks to harness the ability of cells and novel constructs to promote the body's natural healing, with the goals of improving surgical outcomes and offering better treatment options for patients and physicians. During the third quarter
of 2010, we launched limited commercial distribution of several products developed and manufactured by our Biosurgery segment, including Grafix and Ovation. Disease targets for Biosurgery products commercialized or in development include diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, dermal burns, and various orthopedic conditions.
Grafix is a three-dimensional tissue matrix designed for application directly to acute and chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers and burns. Flexible and conformable to complex anatomies, this cellular repair matrix provides a rich source of extracellular matrix, viable endogenous MSCs and epithelial cells, as well as growth factors directly to the site of the wound, protecting the area from inflammation, scarring and infection.
Ovation is a novel cellular repair matrix designed for use in surgical applications where bone tissue repair is needed. Easily applied to the site of injury, Ovation provides the three essential components of periosteum-collagen matrix, viable endogenous MSCs and key growth factors such as BMPs and VEGF-to enable tissue regeneration.
Grafix and Ovation are regulated by the FDA under 21CFR Part 1271, Human Cells, Tissues and Cellular and Tissue-based Products ("HCT/Ps"). We are registered with the FDA as a tissue establishment and are accredited by the American Association of Tissue Banks ("AATB"). Extensive donor screening, serological testing, bioburden testing and sterility testing is performed on every lot to demonstrate suitability for transplantation. Our Biosurgery products are all manufactured in our Columbia, Maryland facility. Each lot is tested to confirm viable cell content post thaw.
We market and distribute both Grafix and Ovation through a network of distributors as well as directly to hospitals and clinics. A significant market for Grafix is chronic wounds, which are primarily treated in the outpatient setting, and to obtain full reimbursement for use in the outpatient setting, a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the standard of care to Grafix is needed.
We have received transitional pass-through status from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), with C-Codes being designated for Grafix. Further, the product has been assigned pass-through status under Medicare's outpatient prospective payment system ("OPPS"), effective July 1, 2012. CMS also issued a preliminary positive decision for the assignment of permanent Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Q-codes for Grafix. If the decision is made permanent, it is anticipated that the Q-codes would be available starting in January 2013. The assignment of unique Q-codes will assist in facilitating reimbursement in the physician office setting, offering additional access for Medicare patients.
A study designed to allow for the collection of data necessary to obtain the permanent HCPCS Q-codes began during the second fiscal quarter of 2012.
We are a fully integrated company, having developed capabilities in research, development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of stem cell products. We have developed an extensive intellectual property portfolio to protect our technology including 51 U.S. and 154 foreign patents owned or licensed. We have 30 U.S. patent applications pending and 80 foreign patent applications pending.
Financial Operations Overview
Biosurgery Segment. Beginning in fiscal 2010, we started to account for our Biosurgery business as a separate segment. We manufacture human tissue based products in our Columbia, Maryland facility and distribute these products through a network of independent distributors as well as employee sales personnel. We presently manufacture and distribute Grafix for the treatment of chronic wounds and burns and Ovation for orthopedic surgeries. Both of these products are cryo-preserved and stored in special freezers at -80 degrees Celsius. Due to the conditions required to preserve these products, customers may elect to have the product shipped to them in dry ice, or we offer to store the product in our freezers for no longer than 30-days. Legal title passes to the customer when the product either leaves our shipping dock or when it is placed by us in a specifically designated freezer. Due to the nature of the products and the manufacturing process, we do not allow sales returns.
Therapeutics Segment. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Genzyme Corporation, then an independent and now a Sanofi company, for the development and commercialization of Prochymal and Chondrogen. Under the terms of the agreement, we retained the rights to commercialize Prochymal and Chondrogen in the United States and Canada, and Genzyme was granted exclusive rights to commercialize Prochymal and Chondrogen in all other countries, except with respect to GvHD in Japan, where Prochymal has previously been licensed to JCR Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. Under the agreement, we were paid $130.0 million for these rights. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 we recognized revenue of $3.3 million, which was the final deferred revenue associated with the $130.0 million upfront payment. We recognized $10.0 million of revenue from the amortization of the upfront payment during each of the first three fiscal quarters of 2011.
The collaboration agreement provided that it would expire upon the completion of all development plans stipulated in the agreement and the expiration of all payment obligations; however, in addition to certain opt out rights, Genzyme could terminate the agreement early and without further obligation at any time, and either party could terminate the agreement due to non-performance, material breach or insolvency.
In February 2012, Sanofi issued a press release which included an update on their R&D pipeline, stating that it had "discontinued" its project with Prochymal for GvHD, and in September 2012, we entered into a termination agreement with Sanofi that terminated the
collaboration agreement and memorialized an amicable parting. Under the termination agreement, neither party has any continuing financial or other obligations to the other. We continue to proceed with our Prochymal regulatory and commercialization efforts.
In prior years, we entered into strategic agreements with other companies for the development and commercialization of Prochymal for specific indications and geographic markets. In 2007, we entered into a collaborative agreement with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Prochymal as a treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus. In 2003, we entered into an agreement with JCR Pharmaceuticals, granting it exclusive rights to Prochymal for the treatment of GvHD and other hematological malignancies in Japan. We did not recognize any revenue from these other agreements during fiscal 2012. We recognized approximately $240,000 of revenue from the JDRF collaboration during each of the first three fiscal quarters of 2011.
Research and Development Costs
Our research and development costs consist of expenses incurred in identifying, developing and testing biologic drug candidates and biologic tissue based products. These expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel, fees paid to professional service providers for independent monitoring and analysis of our clinical trials, costs of contract research and manufacturing, costs of facilities, and the costs of manufacturing clinical batches of biologic drug candidates, quality control supplies and material to expand biologic drug candidates.
Consistent with our focus on the development of biologic drug candidates with potential uses in multiple indications, many of our costs are not attributable to a specifically identified product indication. We use our employee and infrastructure resources across several projects. Accordingly, we do not account for internal research and development costs on a project-by-project basis. From inception in December 1992 through September 30, 2012, we incurred aggregate research and development costs of approximately $421 million.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $1.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of research and development costs in our Therapeutics segment and $1.2 million and $3.6 million in our Biosurgery segment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, our total research and development costs were $4.4 million and $12.5 million, respectively, for our Therapeutics segment and $607,000 and $2.4 million for our Biosurgery segment
We expect our research and development expenses to continue to be substantial in the future, as we continue our clinical trial activity for our existing biologic drug candidates as they advance through the development cycle, and as we invest in additional product opportunities and research programs. Clinical trials and preclinical studies are time-consuming and expensive. Our expenditures on current and future preclinical and clinical development programs are subject to many uncertainties. We test our products in several preclinical studies, and we then conduct clinical trials for those biologic drug candidates that we determine to be the most promising. As we obtain results from clinical trials, we may elect to discontinue or delay trials for some biologic drug candidates in order to focus our resources on more promising biologic drug candidates. Completion of clinical trials may take several years or more, but the length of time generally varies substantially according to the type, size of trial and intended use of a biologic drug candidate. The cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of a variety of factors, including:
† the number of patients who participate in the trials;
† the number of sites included in the trials;
† the length of time required to enroll trial participants;
† the duration of patient treatment and follow-up;
† the costs of producing supplies of the biologic drug candidates needed for clinical trials and regulatory submissions;
† the efficacy and safety profile of the biologic drug candidate; and
† the costs and timing of, and the ability to secure, regulatory approvals.
As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to determine with any significant degree of certainty the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of any of our biologic drug candidates.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the costs associated with our general management, including salaries, allocations of facilities and related costs, and professional fees such as legal and accounting expenses. We have experienced a general decrease in general and administrative costs as the result of our continued cost cutting efforts and the refinement of many of our general business processes, as well as a reduction in share-based compensation expense. However, we expect future expense increases to likely result from the hiring of additional operational, financial, accounting, facilities engineering and information systems personnel as we approach the commercial launch of Prochymal for an initial indication.
Other Income, Net
Other income consists of interest earned on our cash and investments available for sale and realized gains and losses incurred on the sale of these investments. Interest expense consists of interest incurred on capital leases and other debt financings. We do not expect to incur material interest expense in the future as we had extinguished all of our outstanding debt prior to fiscal 2009. During the third fiscal quarter of 2012, we entered into a capital lease agreement to finance the acquisition of copier and printing equipment. In connection with this capital lease, we incurred $1,000 of interest expense during the third fiscal quarter of 2012.
Provision for Income Taxes
Until fiscal 2010, we had not recognized any net deferred tax assets or liabilities in our financial statements because we cannot assure their future realization. Because realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, a full valuation allowance has been recorded on the net deferred tax assets, which relate primarily to net operating loss and research and development carry-forwards. In the event that we become profitable within the next several years, we have net deferred tax assets (before a 100% valuation allowance) of approximately $95.3 million that may be utilized prior to us having to recognize any income tax expense or make payments to the taxing authorities, other than the alternative minimum tax. The income from the upfront fees we received from Genzyme Corporation was required to be recognized over several years from 2008 through the first quarter 2012 for financial statement reporting purposes. For income tax purposes, the income was required to be fully recognized in 2009 and 2010. This resulted in our releasing $3.2 million of the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in fiscal 2010. We recognized $1.0 million of the resulting deferred tax asset in 2011, and we recognized the remaining $2.2 million deferred tax asset in 2012. Upon filing these 2011 tax returns, we reclassified the short-term deferred tax asset to income tax receivable and these amounts were received by us during the third fiscal quarter of 2012.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we filed our federal and state income tax returns for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and trued-up our income tax receivable to the short-term deferred tax asset that was on our December 2011 balance sheet by recognizing a tax benefit of $32,000. We received the refunds during the third fiscal quarter of 2012 and recognized an additional tax benefit of $5,000. Similarly, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, we filed our fiscal 2010 income tax returns and recognized income tax expense of $43,000 when truing up our short-term deferred tax asset to the amounts reported in our fiscal 2010 income tax returns.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, other than as disclosed herein.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
Biosurgery Product Revenues
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we continued to expand our distribution efforts in our Biosurgery segment, both through in-house personnel as well as through our expanding distributor network. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $2.2 million of product revenues from the distribution of Grafix and Ovation and realized gross profit of $1.4 million. Revenues from the distribution of Biosurgery products in the third fiscal quarter of 2011 were $331,000, and gross profit was $192,000. The increase in revenue and gross profit in 2012 is due to volume increases, as we have continued to expand our distribution network. We are continuing to . . .

Montreal Jazz Festival 2012: Why Montreal?
July 7, 2012. Posted by Simon Rentner.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM 2012, Interviews, Jazz Alive, Simon Rentner
WBGO'S Simon Rentner concludes his broadcast coverage of the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal by asking a simple question: Why Montreal? Festival Co-Founder and Artistic Director André Ménard and Vice President of Programming Laurent Saulnier have their answers. Plus, Canadian musicians Peter Appleyard and Claude St-Jean chime in.
Montreal Jazz Festival 2012: Does Canada Have a Jazz Sound?
July 7, 2012. Posted by Simon Rentner.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM 2012, Interviews, Jazz Alive, Simon Rentner
WBGO's Simon Rentner, reporting from the last day from Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, asks: Does Canadian Jazz Have A Sound? Artistic Director and Jazz Festival co-founder André Ménard (above), Canadian singer Sonia Johnson, and our own Michael Bourne answer that question.
Joey Calderazzo and Aaron Parks Find Synergy and Space on 176 Keys
July 4, 2012. Posted by Simon Rentner.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM 2012, Jazz Alive, Simon Rentner
Burn down the "Jesus Room." That doesn't sound good, but that's exactly what Joey Calderazzo and Aaron Parks accomplished at Montreal's Gesu Centre de Creativite on Gershwin's "Liza," the last tune of the evening. These two pianists -- unfamiliar with each other and separated by two generations -- started a bit more mild, warming up on Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way." But immediately the natural chemistry was there. Ten fingers on 176 keys can often be a handful on the ears. But they avoided the pitfalls of playing over each other, avoiding any chaotic clutter. Instead, they coalesced into one sound, a single expression. They even hummed together. It's these moments where the magic of jazz can be so spellbinding. Two virtuosos came together for random interplay, left their egos behind, and created beautiful, unselfish music. Calderazzo humbly bragged that they only rehearsed once together, only 45 minutes before show time. Despite these straining odds, they were able to find moments of relaxation, pause, and space during the concert. They shared their common interest in the music of Keith Jarrett ("Rainbows"). But the high point of the show for me was Aaron Parks playing solo on Duke Ellington's "Melancholia." That's the moment my heart skipped and a small tear crept in my eye.
Bourne's Montreal Day Two: Star Wars, Architecture and the Jesus Room
July 3, 2012. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM 2012, Jazz Alive
Equipe Spectra, the folks who produce the jazzfest, do plenty more throughout the year. They produced last year an amazing exhibition of artifacts -- props, costumes, sketches, scenes -- from the Indiana Jones movies. George Lucas archived everything from his movies, gathered by a curator. First thing, walking in, there was the actual ark!
Now comes, again at the Montreal Science Centre, Star Wars. Boba Fett's flying armor you see first. And the animated bucket, R2D2. But the show is much more philosophical than cinematic. "Star Wars ... Identities" is what they've called the show. "What forces shape you?' is the show's question.
"Select a species" says the first display. You pick a character to be from the Star Wars aliens. You can be human, but I opted to be Bith, like the musicians in that first tavern scene, round bald head with big black eyes and what look like gills for a mouth blowing an alien oboe. What follows are videos or other displays about how humans evolve identities, how the brain works, how social and psychological forces within and around us determine our personalities and how we behave, individually or in groups. Some of the displays include clips from the movies -- in one, how Anakin was beguiled by the Dark Side and became Darth Vader, while Luke resisted.
I'd have enjoyed more clips and designs, more costumes and stories about the making of the movies. Some of the cinematic highlights include how Yoda's inverted syntax came about, how his eyes were designed to look like Einstein's, and there's the actual animatronic puppet of the Jedi master. And the carbonized Han Solo. And a mannequin lounging in Leia's harem bra and veils. Lucas created the sidekick Chewbacca to look like his favorite dog, and there's the seven feet of furry costume.
All the while the show delights the Wookie in us all, Lucas wants us to think about who we are and "What are your choices?" Questions about our beliefs are asked, about freedom, conformism, hedonism, benevolence, and we answer by flicking our personalized wrist bands across our choices. Ultimately, the question is whether we'll join the Dark Side. I opted not to go dark, and left with the image of myself cosmically swinging on a space sax.
Near to the Montreal Science Centre is the city's archaeological museum, Pointe-a-Calliere. Built on the actual ruins of the city's original foundation, the design is in-your-face abstract, especially an architecturally meaningless steel-and-glass fan that sticks out like a whimsically obscene gesture. Projected onto the ruins down below is a spectacular multi-media show of the city's history, stories about all the historical figures they named streets, halls, colleges, and beers after. Rene-Levesque. Maisonneuve. McGill. Molson.
There's also a special private collection of samurai artifacts, especially the "terrible beauty" of samurai weapons and armor. All of the armor features helmets with the icons of warriors: a crawling crab, a crescent moon, a laughing gremlin, a foot-long centipede. Bloody though the swords were meant to be, each of the swords was uniquely crafted as a work of art. And at the end, there's Darth Vader again, his black armor very like a samurai's, his light sabre very like a samurai's katana. Terrible beauty indeed.
Just a block away is the basilica, Notre Dame, with a blue ceiling full of stars and Montreal history in stained glass -- like the city's founder, Maisonneuve, planting a cross atop Mont Royal. Just across the street is Pizzedelic, and it happened to be lunchtime. Pizza #2: chevre et noix, goat cheese and walnuts, with black olives, sliced tomatoes, and I added more of the spicy saucisse Calabrese.
Meanwhile, back at the jazzfest ...
One hallmark of FIJM is that you miss as much great music as you actually get to hear. I'm sorry to have missed the formal concert d'ouverture: accordionist Richard Galliano with strings playing Bach and Piazzaola in the brand-new Montreal Symphony Hall. Place des Arts was already the biggest arts complex in Canada, and now it's even bigger.
I nonetheless heard music aplenty, including the first of the ten bands entered into this year's competition for the Grand Prix de Jazz, sponsored by TD Bank. Canadian jazz groups (this year 4 from Ontario, 6 from Quebec) perform on the free outdoor stages. Winner gets money ($5K), studio time, a record deal with the jazz label Effendi, plus gigs at the jazzfests in Zacatecas (Mexico), Rimouski (Quebec), and (on a bigger stage) Montreal. Galaxie, the satellite system, also gives a prize ($5K) for the best composition of the contest. I am again this year one of the judges.
Most extraordinary of all the changes around the festival is the sculpting of rue Jeanne-Mance, an avenue alongside Place des Arts, into the permanent Quartier des Spectacles. What was once a downtown traffic artery is now an open space with fountains, new trees, TV screens, and at the end the enormous TD Stage, complete with all the tech for spectacular effects. That's where the festival's Grandes Evenements happen, the Big Events that have (usually, and not kidding) a hundred thousand (or more) fest-goers listening, dancing, and drinking beer for (frequently pop) stars like this year's local-boy-made-good, singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright. I've seen by now more than a million fest-goers crowded into the Quartier, and never once have I seen trouble. Montrealers have rioted about hockey, but not about jazz.
FIJM also resurrected a long useless building on the corner as a year-round Maison du Festival. They have a restaurant, a museum, a library and videoteque of the festival's history. They have a jazz joint of their own, L'Astral, and performing there on opening night was Monk-and-Cuban-inspired pianist Rafael Zaldiver with special guest Greg Osby, also (in his Montreal debut) one of WBGO's favorite singers, Gregory Porter.
When asked what concerts I was looking forward to the most, I answered "whoever is playing in the Jesus Room." What used to be called Salle de Gesu, literally Room of Jesus, is now more formally called Gesu--Centre de Creativitie. An intimate theatre in the Jesuit church around the corner from Place des Arts, it's where so many of my favorite concerts happen at every jazzfest. And quite often I know nothing about the musicians. I know only that they'll be cool and will likely play music I've never heard the likes of.
The World Kora Trio played first. Cherif Soumano plays the kora, a giant gourd with a shaft straight up, like a tentpole with wires angled downward. He sometimes strums glissandi like a harp. Or he plucks wires with his thumbs, sometimes impossibly rapidly, like a machine gun. Soumano's kora is one of the most melodically rhythmic (or rhythmically melodic) instruments I've ever heard. Eric Longsworth plays an electric cello, sometimes blowing beautiful African-inspired melodies or, as Longsworth looks and smiles at Soumano, they happily play call-and-response. Jean-Luc Di Fraya plays djembe hand-drums instead of a snare in his traps, and he sings, often in a high falsetto that flies like a bird through the music. I bought their album, and you can hear what I'm talking about on the website eric-longsworth.com...
Bourne's Montreal Day One: Pizza, Beer and James Taylor
June 30, 2012. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM 2012, Jazz Alive
The 33rd Festival International de JAZZ de Montreal is my 20th as a journalist and/or broadcaster. I first came almost accidentally in 1992. I've come back ever since, always amazed and amused that the jazzfest is bigger and better every summer. I still can't parle français much more than schoolboy French, but jazz is the universal language.
I am always ritualistic, and in Montreal one of my favorite rituals is Pizzedelic. Once settled in, I was joined by Vincent Lefebvre, wrangler of the international press, at my favorite of the four pizza joints named (though not really a chain) Pizzedelic. They each have a unique personality and somewhat different menu. Brightest (and breeziest) is the pizza resto on rue Notre Dame across from the basilica. Pizzas are square with a matzo-like crust and a grand variety of toppings.
2012 Pizza #1: trois fromages, three cheeses: mozzarella, parmesan, feta. It's actually quatre fromages, but I don't like the blue cheese. I added black olives, pepperoni, and spicy saucisse Calabrese. And a red beer, La Belle Gueulle rousse.
Tomorrow night is the festival's official opening, but James Taylor played an early concert at the big hall, Salle Wilfred-Pelletier of the Place des Arts. Just before the concert, he'd been presented with the Festival Spirit Award, and he walked on-stage with the metal sculpture, a self-portrait of Miles Davis.
He thanked the festival (in way better French than mine) and played charmingly more than two hours, interrupted only by an intermission. "I don't know why," he said at the break. "We're just going to stand behind the curtain for 20 minutes."
That he was having a good time radiated from the stage, even when singing songs ("Fire and Rain," "The Secret of Life," et al) that he's performed countlessly. When someone in the balcony shouted for one of his hits, he held up a chalkboard with his set list and pointed to that title. I'd been looking forward to "Sweet Baby James." "That was written for my nephew," he said. "He was named after me. He's a big thing now."
Another highlight was his song inspired by a man found long after he'd been lost in ice, "God Have Mercy on the Frozen Man." And he let the band play, no wonder. "This is an excellent band," Taylor said as he introduced the stellar ensemble, including saxist Lou Marini, trumpeter Walt Fowler, keyboardist Larry Goldings, and drummer Steve Gadd.
He'd gotten a standing O after "Fire and Rain," and the audience was up and dancing for "Your Smiling Face," dancing and singing along with "How Sweet It Is." Taylor's encore was that much more joyful with everyone chubbing and checkering "The Twist."
Having someone having as much fun as James Taylor was was an ideal overture to another great jazzfest in Montreal.
