Did you ever wonder why the European Medicines Agency issued a statement that the studies Takeda filed in support of its MAA for Omontys might not be reliable? Do you ever wonder why the plaintiffs in the securities class action allege that AFFY knew about O's anaphylaxis problem from O's clinical trials, but purposefully hid the anaphylaxis results in its efforts to get O approved by the FDA?
Here are some clues: Neither the PEARL studies nor the EMERALD studies when I read the patient safety results reported anything about anaphylaxis as an adverse event. However, the PEARL studies reported that O had 7x more sudden death than Epo, 2x more death from unknown cause than Epo and 4x more patients who experience convulsions than Epo.
Significantly, AFFY also admitted that the EMERALD/PEARL results could be biased in favor of Omontys over Epogen due to what it described as "limitations", specifically (1) the studies' open-label design, and (2) the number of premature patient withdrawals that may have influenced the results. See Fishbane, et al., Peganistade with Anemia Undergoing Hemodialysis, NEJM (Jan 24 2013).
Third. AFFY did mention anaphylaxis, somewhat as an aside, in connection with 12 O studies' patients who developed O antibodies. In that connection, it was reported that "No patient had an allergic drug reaction, including anaphylaxis, associated with the formation of antibodies." Id.
In light of the new SA article, it might be wise to revisit this post.
It might be a great buying opportunity in the next few days.
FDA was well aware of anaphylaxis results. Incorrect and highly bias point of view. Easily treated......
I suppose the FDA could always require O be distributed with REMS requiring an Epi pen and/or Benadryl and black box warnings for anaphylaxis despite nothing like this with Epo. AFFY can always blame the severe anaphylaxis reactions on the ineptitude of its customers, namely dialysis centers, but this might not be a winning sales strategy. For example, from the Bartelt amended complaint: "The label change [warning of anaphylaxis] apparently slowed clinics from converting from Epogen use to OMONTYS, stating that one Fresenius clinic in Tennessee told CW 3 that they could not convert to OMONTYS because they did not have a supply of Benadryl on hand."
I don't think Omontys customer base would need to worry about liability/lawsuits considering your admonition that anaphylaxis is so easily treated right jose? They are going to be eager to order O despite Mircera/Aranesp/Epogen/Procrit proven safe and effective to treat anemia in ALL CKD patients without the anaphylaxis worries right jose?
You are so negative. It's not hard to see your intensions. You must live on this board to bash. Everyone here is aware of the possibility this drug may not (but most likely will) be reintroduced back into the market. So you are just wasting your time trying to convince the longs to sell. You are on ignore.
Ask yourself these questions honestly while you hold tightly onto AFFY shares. If you are looking to profit on MM and Maxdad manipulation, then also be honest with yourself. Retail, to my knowledge, cannot short AFFY. Retail can only go long AFFY. I cannot bash a penny stock like AFFY. Instead, the lack of AFFY fundamentals is why the share price drifts lower after the Exp/Maxdad pumps.

With over 60 years of World Championship Grands Prix behind us, we'll never know who really was, or is, the greatest driver of all time. Such comparisons of vastly different generations are impossible, with the cars, competitors and circuits unrecognisable now from those of the past.
But still we create lists and debate endlessly the qualities of Schumacher, Senna, Prost, Fangio and Clark. Opinion-based lists are everywhere, so I have taken a different approach—purely a statistical one—creating my rankings from a simple formula.
((wins*5)+(poles*2)+(fastest laps*1)) / races started
That formula is number of wins (multiplied by five), plus the number of pole positions (multiplied by two), plus the number of fastest laps. Then divide the final figure by the number of races the driver started. Those numbers just seemed right to me.
Of course, while statistics never lie, they never tell the full story either. So take my top 10 as I intend it to be taken—an article of interest, and nothing more.
The final slide contains additional information and thoughts.

A long time ago, I used to travel to Moscow because of work. In those days, I had no idea that the Soviet Union would be no more within 6 months of my last trip there. Re-reading my old assortment of diary entries and letters I wrote to family, there were palpable changes occurring on a daily basis.
Am thinking of sharing these in this blog, just because I know I was a witness to something momentous in history. I shared enough vignettes in my diaries and letters during the Glasnost/Perestroika years to write a book. A strong dose of reality:  will I ever be able to do that? That is, write a book? Do I have the discipline and stamina it would take? Who would read it?
One song that brings back memories of the end of the USSR is Wind of Change, by the Scorpions (I had no idea it was a German band!). I remember listening to it on Radio Moscow non-stop, when I lived in an apartment across the street from the US Embassy, realizing that there was change in the air… because, only a couple of years earlier, there were very, very few Western songs aired on Soviet airwaves.

It is dangerous to feel particularly virtuous about dragging yourself out of bed in the dewy morning to visit a farmers' market before all the best strawberries are gone. Because if you show up at North Tonawanda, Clarence or Williamsville's markets on a Saturday, it will leave you vulnerable to the aroma of cider doughnuts frying.
Duke's Donuts sets up portable doughnut machines at farmers' markets six days a week across Western New York. Sunday is Holland and Lancaster; Tuesday it's North Tonawanda and the Rochester market; Wednesday it's the Springville Auction at Gentner's and Blasdell; Thursday in North Tonawanda and Rochester; Friday is Ellicottville.
On Monday, Duke's rests.
"We are completely mobile," said owner Chad Longman, who leads the family business. "We can make doughnuts anywhere, because we are completely under our own power."
The aroma is all the advertising the cider doughnuts need. "People will ask us why we don't get a food truck, or rent a trailer," Longman said. "It's because out under a canopy, you get a breeze and it really blows the smell around. We had people at North Tonawanda tell us they parked a couple blocks away, and could smell us as they got out of their car."
The cider doughnuts are $1 each, $5 for six, $9 for a dozen. Duke's also sells a raised yeast doughnut, made off site, for $1.50. They sell out quickly.
"This is going to be year-round for us," Longman said. The North Tonawanda market is open year-round, and Duke's will be there Saturdays. Longman is also working on the possibility of making doughnuts at Buffalo Bills games and in the Broadway Market.
"It was a niche that was wide open here, so we took the plunge," Longman said of his career turn from the corporate retail sector to mobile doughnut mogul. "So far so good."

The two men in the pit seemed to be lost in reverie, so intent were they upon the two-and-a-half-mile track before them, so oblivious to both the swirl of photographers and the 200,000 beer-drenched spectators behind them. Suddenly a blue and yellow racing car, little more than a blur, streaked by. And an excited voice was announcing over the P.A. system that the Electrolux/Kraco had scorched the track at 208.126 mph. "The kid's doing it," whispered Paul Newman, an actor by trade, to his racing partner, Mario Andretti, who permitted himself just a trace of smile.
The "kid" was Michael Andretti, 21, Mario's eldest. The scene was Indianapolis a week ago, where the son of one of our most celebrated race car drivers qualified in his maiden effort for the Indy 500, the vehicular equivalent of the Kentucky Derby. Not only did Michael qualify, he also posted the fastest speed ever recorded by a rookie at Indy, earning the fourth starting spot in a field of 33 cars and giving every indication that he had as much gasoline in his veins as his old man.
Small wonder. After all, Michael was barely out of diapers when he first cast eyes on the Indianapolis speedway. That was in 1966, a year in which Mario took eight out of 15 Indy Car races and claimed his second consecutive Indy Car Championship. (In 1969 he won the Indy 500 itself.)
Mario, 44, and Dee Ann Andretti, 41, reared their three children—Michael, Jeff, 19, and Barbra Dee, 14—in Nazareth, Pa. in a five-bedroom house on a street renamed Victory Lane by local politicos. The family spent winter vacations in the Pocono Mountains, where Mario enjoyed pushing his souped-up snowmobiles through the hills at 107 mph. Come summer the holiday racecourse just changed from snow to water as Mario knifed his powerboats through the inland waterways.
Speed was the Andrettis' element. Michael never considered any profession other than racing. After cutting his teeth on go-cart competitions at age 9, he went on to smoke the circuit, taking 50 of 75 races over a seven-year period. In 1980 he got himself a Formula Ford and moved up to car racing. Two years later the Sports Car Club of America named him Pro Rookie of the Year. The next year Michael and Mario fulfilled a lifelong dream when they teamed up in France in the 24-hour Le Mans endurance race.
At Indianapolis, Mario and Michael will be competitors. Mario, in a Lola T-800 partly owned by Newman, drives for Budweiser; Michael for Electrolux/Kraco. "If Michael was on my team, someone would have to accept No. 2," says Mario, "and he shouldn't have to do that. On the track you got to be greedy sometimes. Yet he's my son, and I can't help but worry a little."
Shortly after Michael's stunning performance at the trials, Mario himself took to the track to qualify. The first lap Mario flashed by at 209.678 mph—a new one-lap track record. Then, trouble. A faulty ignition system cut the car's speed, dropping Andretti to sixth position, two places behind his son. "Dad's going to be real mad about this," observed Michael, adding that he was "going to lay low" and let his father cool off for a couple of hours.
Before heading off, however, he took exception to the notion that he had beaten Mario. "I didn't beat him," he said. "A bad part in the car beat him." No less "greedy" for victory than his old man, Michael wanted to beat the great Mario Andretti only when he was at the top of his form. "Then," Michael said, "I'll feel like I've done something in racing."
A Driver Divided, Mario Andretti Wants the Indy 500 for Both Himself and His Son

First published in Cleantech magazine, Volume 6, Issue 1. Copyright Cleantech Investor Ltd
Dear Reader,
Natural gas is something of a taboo in some parts of the cleantech community. However, the reality is that the shale gas revolution in the US has resulted in cheap natural gas, at least for that market. Felicia Jackson makes an 'appeal' to the US to continue to view natural gas as a transition fuel, rather than a destination fuel in her comment in this issue (see page 23). However, the reality is that gas will play an important role in the energy and transport industries over the next decade and more.
While some in the renewables industry see gas as a competitor, the increased availability of natural gas doesn't negate the value of biogas technologies. There is investment activity in the space of syngas-related technologies, typically appropriate for stranded gas resources and remote locations (see comment from Cleantech magazine).
Gas also offers potential in the air transport industry. To date ASTM approval has been achieved only for synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK), from hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFAs) – under ASTM D7566. This effectively means fuels based on oils from feedstocks such as algae, jatropha, animal fats and camelina. However, ASTM approval for GTL-based jet fuel is expected this year – which will cover fuel from both natural gas and biogas sources.
The price of gas outside the US is relatively high, which should bode well for alternative gas sources such as biogas. However, growth in the LNG industry will also be critical. Shell has made a major commitment to GTL, through the Pearl GTL plant, a joint venture with Qatar Petroleum. This is set to reach full production this year (processing gas from the North Field, which stretches from Qatar's coast out into the Gulf and contains more than 900 trillion cubic feet of gas – or about 15% of worldwide gas resources). It remains to be seen whether the US will embrace the potential for LNG exports.
While fossil fuel prices still play a major role in the rate of growth in the uptake of clean technologies, there is little doubt that innovation in cleantech is revolutionising the way we live. A recent report from the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Emerging Technologies identified ten key trends in technology innovation. Of these, some lie outside the scope of cleantech. However, most are firmly within the cleantech space (albeit that some overlap with other disciplines). The six with 'cleantech' credentials are listed below:
Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering
- Includes the development of new biological processes and organisms that are designed to serve specific purposes including converting biomass to chemicals, fuels and materials.
Green Revolution 2.0 – technologies for increased food and biomass
- Artificial fertilizers are one of the main achievements of modern chemistry, enabling unprecedented increases in crop production yield. Yet the growing global demand for healthy and nutritious food is threatening to outstrip energy, water and land resources. By integrating advances across the biological and physical sciences, the new green revolution holds the promise of further increasing crop production yields, minimising environmental impact, reducing energy and water dependence, and decreasing the carbon footprint.
Nanoscale design of materials
- The increasing demand on natural resources requires unprecedented gains in efficiency. Nanostructured materials with tailored properties, designed and engineered at the molecular scale, are already showing novel and unique features that will usher in the next clean energy revolution, reduce our dependence on depleting natural resources, and increase atom-efficiency manufacturing and processing.
Utilisation of carbon dioxide as a resource
- Carbon is at the heart of all life on earth. Yet managing carbon dioxide releases is one of the greatest social, political and economic challenges of our time. An emerging innovative approach to carbon dioxide management involves transforming it from a liability to a resource. Novel catalysts, based on nanostructured materials, can potentially transform carbon dioxide to high value hydrocarbons and other carbon-containing molecules, which could be used as new building blocks for the chemical industry as cleaner and more sustainable alternatives to petrochemicals.
Wireless power
- Society is deeply reliant on electrically powered devices. Yet a significant limitation in their continued development and utility is the need to be attached to the electricity grid by wire – either permanently or through frequent battery recharging. Emerging approaches to wireless power transmission will free electrical devices from having to be physically plugged in, and are poised to have as significant an impact on personal electronics as Wi-Fi had on Internet use.
High energy density power systems
- Better batteries are essential if the next generation of clean energy technologies are to be realised. A number of emerging technologies are coming together to lay the foundation for advanced electrical energy storage and use, including the development of nanostructured electrodes, solid electrolysis and rapid-power delivery from novel supercapacitors based on carbon-based nanomaterials. These technologies will provide the energy density and power needed to supercharge the next generation of clean energy technologies.
Gas or no gas – there are clearly a host of investment opportunities in cleantech!

Mini Giantess Growth Comic: Hazard
Giantess Club offers some first-class material when it comes to mini giantesses and process growth, with art and writing that could easily rival mainstream comics. While their main area is breast expansion (not a big focus here at MiniGiantess.com), there's still a wealth of "regular" female growth to be found in the archives.
The Hazard series begins as a fun one-off story. In Flight Hazard, a beautiful woman slowly grows on a plane, tearing out of her clothes leaving very little room for her fellow passengers. The sequels – Road Hazard and Water Hazard, reveal this to be a widespread phenomenon, with female growth used as a terrorist threat!
The highlight comes at the end of part four, when women everywhere are exposed to the biohazard. We are then treated to a generous number of panels of embarrassed nude females suddenly tearing out of their clothes, all in different states of size and undress – intercut with a steamy sexual encounter with a rapidly growing sexy villain!
Check it out, and be sure to let them know you appreciate the work! The more feedback MiniGTS material gets, the more likely they'll want to commission more!

DENVER—QB Kyle Orton believes the Broncos will be a more productive red-zone offense due to key additions at the tight end and running back positions. Rookie Julius Thomas, a converted basketball player, has the ability to use his hoops background to shield out defenders and the hops at 6-5, 255 pounds to go up and get the ball. Daniel Fells, a fixture in two tight-end formations, has all five of his career TDs over the past two seasons. Foremost, RB Willis McGahee is the tough inside runner the team has lacked since Peyton Hillis was barreling between the tackles, with the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield off play fakes, as well. But the entire key will be whether the offensive line can live up to its get-more-physical mentality it's been preached all summer. Doubts remain.
Notes: WR Eddie Royal has moved away from the slot position that dominated his 2010 season and gone back to the outside role that led to his most productive seasons. The thought with moving Royal inside was that his short-area quickness would create inside mismatches. But having gone back to the outside, Royal seems to be a better fit away from the congestion of the middle. Royal is quick enough to get off the line of scrimmage in bump coverage, and after hip surgery, seems to possess more burst this season once he gets out of a lower gear. Eric Decker is handling inside duties in three-wide formations now.

By Susan Levin, M.S., R.D.
Joe Camel — the character who lured children to take up smoking — was axed after intense backlash over this marketing technique. Ronald McDonald may be next on the chopping block.
In 1962, the Royal College of Physicians recommended restricting tobacco advertising and sales to children and increasing a cigarette tax. Just last week, half a century later, the United Nations made almost the exact same recommendations about unhealthful foods, which it says are now a bigger threat to global health than tobacco.
As a dietitian and nutrition educator, I can't think of a more fitting comparison. Big Tobacco wrote the textbook on distorting science to market a dangerous product. Today, Big Food is following it word-for-word.
When tobacco sales took a hit after early reports uncovered its health risks, companies mass-marketed filtered and low-tar cigarettes as a "healthier" choice. Profits rebounded.
Take one lap around the grocery store and you'll see junk food manufacturers use the same tactic — and achieve the same success. Big Food has been quick to reformulate its products as the public becomes more aware of the hazards of eating too much saturated fat, salt, and sugar. The market for foods like low-fat cheese and milk, "lean" and low-sodium meat products, and sugar-free soda is bigger than ever.
But these labels are just as deceptive as a "healthy" stamp on a pack of cigarettes. A mountain of evidence links meat and dairy-heavy diets to cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. One study published this March connects diets high in animal protein to a fourfold increase in the chance of dying from cancer or diabetes — making heavy meat and dairy consumption just as dangerous as smoking.
Major public health authorities — including the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the President's Cancer Panel, and the Harvard School of Public Health — have all warned of the strong link between processed meat and cancer, while the American Institute of Cancer Research has stated bluntly that no amount of processed meat is safe to eat.
Sound familiar? It should. The link between smoking and disease is just as strong — smoking even a single cigarette can harm your health. But this doesn't stop Big Tobacco from marketing harmful products — and it's not stopping Big Food, either.
So how do they get away with it? They both have friends in high places. The federal government included tobacco in soldiers' rations until 1975 — well after the dangers of smoking had been exposed. To this day, the U.S. military sells millions of dollars of highly discounted tobacco products to service members, who are one-and-a-half times more likely to smoke than civilians. And the tobacco industry still receives hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars through subsidies every year.
Big Food's cozy relationship with the government goes much deeper. The meat and dairy industry receives billions of taxpayer dollars annually, and producers of unhealthful foods have used their lobbying power to warp federal nutrition programs such as food stamps and school lunch into massive corporate welfare schemes. In 2001, the U.S. Department of Agriculture spent $350 million on saturated fat-heavy beef and cheese products for schools — more than double the amount it spent on fruits and vegetables. When meat and dairy producers' profits dip, the USDA makes special "bonus buy" purchases, funneling the junk straight into school meals.
The battle currently raging on Capitol Hill to gut healthy school lunch standards is a perfect example of the food industry's powerful sway over Congress. Even as childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes rates continue to climb, Big Food-friendly members of Congress are pushing through a measure that would allow schools to opt out of standards that have increased students' consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains by leaps and bounds.
Championing this effort is a representative from my home state, Alabama Congressman Robert Aderholt, chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture and Rural Development. It's no surprise that although Alabama is the fifth most obese state in the country, Aderholt's only true allegiance is to the food industry — not to the families he represents.
It may be decades before Congress taxes Big Food, cracks down on advertising junk food to kids and overhauls subsidies — all measures the UN recommends. But the sooner we start treating Big Food like Big Tobacco, the better off we'll be.

NELSON, Ga. — City officials in the north Georgia town of Nelson are warning residents to "bear-proof" their properties after the police chief had a run-in with a black bear.
Nelson City Manager Brandy Edwards said residents should be on guard after recent calls about bears at homes and reports of missing cats and kittens around town.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports that bears are believed to be moving into the town 50 miles north of Atlanta in search of food to fatten up for the winter.
About two weeks ago, Nelson Police Chief Heath Mitchell confronted one bear that made itself at home on a home's porch and was rummaging through garbage. Mitchell said he tried to run it off, but it turned and growled, walking closer toward him. It eventually ran off.

When Greg Knapp was brough in, a lot of people speculated that our offense was going to get boring, a bit predictable, and very run-centric. If the first preseason game is any indication, that would not appear to be the case.
In the preseason opener, the Seahawks passed 35 out of 68 plays, a hair over 50%. This belies the notion that, as some expected, we would be going "run, run, pass" on first, second, and third downs. While I tend to lean more towards a passing offense (at least until we get more reliable running the ball), I think having a nice balance is good. In reality, we saw a fair amount more running with the second and third stringers, with Forsett and Moore taking the lion's share of the night's rush attempts. It remains to be seen what our first team offense will balance out to be, but with these WRs and especially the TEs, I wouldn't be shocked at all to see us favor the pass slightly (53-55%) this season.
More tidbits from this great little data-set:
The Seahawks blitzed 21 times. Linebackers were sent on 18 of those blitzes.
52 of our 68 offensive plays came from one of two formations. 3WR, 1TE, 1RB were the personnel for 17 plays (25%), while 2RB, 2WR, 1TE made up 51% of the plays. This can be a little misleading though, as our TEs can motion out to WRs.
There were only two plays with no TEs when the Hawks went into 4-wide sets. The fourth WR would often be John Carlson in the regular season.
The defensive lineman with the most playing time? Michael Bennett, who showed up in 49 of the 74 defensive snaps (66%). Cory Redding was last with 7 snaps. Bennett played exclusively at Defensive Tackle despite playing end in college. He had an excellent game.
While Aaron Curry played most of three quarters, he was only in for 24 snaps (32.4%). Lance Laury, David Hawthorne and Will Herring all got more playing time.
Jamar Adams was in the game for 2/3 of the team's defensive plays. Not bad considering that he didn't screw up.
Aaron Curry played 16 snaps at LB and 8 at end.
The Hawks were in their Base 4-3 for exactly half of the defensive snaps. 4-2-5 Nickel was 42% (with one 3-3-5 play) and there were five dime packages thrown on the field.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Two days after Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said the U.S. administration couldn't be trusted to take the lead on Iran, he was forced to clarify his remarks after the State Department blasted him for his comments.
In an address at Tel Aviv University Tuesday, Ya'alon said, among other things, that Israel could not rely on the Obama administration to take the lead with the Iranian nuclear program.
He said the decision to enter negotiations with Iran would "blow up" in the end and Israel would "have to behave as though we have nobody to look out for us but ourselves."
Ya'alon also said the U.S. is projecting a weakened image worldwide, as seen in its dealings with Syria, China, Russia and the Ukraine.
State Department spokeswoman Jan Psaki called his remarks "unconstructive" and "confusing," saying they did not reflect the "scope of our close partnership on a range of security issues and on the enduring partnership between the United States and Israel" nor the Israeli government's "view."
Ya'alon told U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel by phone Wednesday evening he had no intention of harming the "strategic relationship between the two countries."
"I appreciated these relations as IDF chief of staff and I appreciate them today as defense minister," Ya'alon told his U.S. counterpart. "I recognize their depth and importance…I am fully obligated to these relations and to the cooperation between Israel and the U.S."
Israeli political analyst Dr. Aaron Lerner, director of IMRA (Independent Media Review and Analysis), told CBN News "everyone is playing their diplomatic roles."
"There are formulas for diplomatically acceptable ways to resolve conflicts," he said. "Ya'alon can say what he really thinks and then he can say, 'I'm sorry if you were insulted.'"
"Everything he said about the relationship between Israel and the United States is true," he continued. "And what he said [on Tuesday] is also true."
"The United States is an interesting position right now," he continued. "The true irony is that the rest of the world looks at how the U.S. treats an ally. It doesn't get points in the world for turning the screws on its allies."
Lerner said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is well aware of the complexity of the situation both with Iran and with the peace talks with the Palestinians, "but he has genuine red lines and he's not going to cross them."
"If the relationship [between the U.S. and Israel] were of tertiary importance, people wouldn't be so concerned," he said. "Because it is a very important relationship, Israel's concerns are much more serious."
"The present [U.S.] administration has had a consistent policy of giving low priority to the needs of their allies. It's very disturbing. There are gross misinterpretations of reality on the part of the U.S. and it's really very scary," he said. "Forget allies. Let's talk honest broker."

Reviews for Zesty Grilled Ham
"Great recipe! The whole family loved it!"
"Works with turkey-ham too."
"Loved this recipe! Delicious!!!! My 5 yr. old and 3 yr. old gave me a thumbs up and asked me if I can make this again next time. That speaks volumes if anyone knows how picky this age group is........I will definitely be using this recipe again."
"This glaze is so simple yet so good. It is our favorite for grilled ham slices. We love it."
"Delicious -- not the first time I've made this but this time I added about 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and my whole family thought it was tastier than before! Also, excellent with a Dry Rose wine..."
"I was a little leary making this recipe for my picky teenage boys as I thought it might be too adventurous but they loved it. I can always tell when they go for seconds and thirds instead of quietly putting their dirty dishes in the dishwasher after the first helping. :)"
"This is wonderful! Even the kids like it."
"Great with eggs on the grill for a campers' morning breakfast! Not alot of ingredients but it packs alot of flavor."
"This is such an easy and tasty way to grill ham that I don't think I could get my husband or sons to do it any other way."

A city man faces charges after allegedly injuring his wife during an argument on Friday night.
Allen E. Nash, 37, of 2613 Dove St. was charged with simple assault and reckless endangerment after police responded to a report of a domestic assault at Nash's residence.
There Nykeana Nash told officers that she and her husband had argued.
During the argument, Allan Nash allegedly "punched her in the torso, kicked her in the legs, and then pushed her violently through a closed basement door," according to court records.
She "tumbled down the wooden basement steps and landed on the concrete floor" and hurt her arms, back, collar bone and ankle, police added.
Nykeana Nash was transported by ambulance to the Williamsport Regional Medical Center where she received treatment for her injuries, which included a "possible broken clavicle" and a "sprained or broken ankle," according to court records.
The husband was arraigned before District Judge Gary A. Whiteman on Sunday. He remains incarcerated in lieu of $7,500 bail.

In the words of the immortal Tom Petty: "Even the losers get lucky sometimes."
Conversely, even the winners can draft a team full of underachievers and miss the fantasy football playoffs. Most of us know which group we belong to at this point in the season.
Week 13 is the final week of the regular season for many fantasy leagues. That means many of you are in desperate need of a win this week and are scrounging around for any advice you can get.
I'd like to offer my assistance.
But first, here's a look at some of the most interesting storylines from last weekend's action:
-DeSean Jackson fractured multiple ribs in the Eagles' 30-22 loss to the Panthers Monday night, prompting his fantasy owners to say, "Wait, he was playing this season?"
-Fireman Ed is no longer supporting the New York Jets. The team was shocked to know they actually had a fan prior to last week.
-Rashard Mendenhall started against the Browns and proceeded to fumble almost immediately. Four Steelers running backs coughed up the football in Week 12, but apparently Mike Tomlin still has faith in Jonathan Dwyer. He's been named the team's Week 13 starter.
-Aldon Smith will likely break Reggie White's record for most sacks in the first two seasons of an NFL career (31). He also has a shot at Michael Strahan's single-season sack record this year. Smith is an electric pass-rusher and a superstar in the making.
-Ndamukong Suh is back at it. There are differing opinions about Suh's intent on this play against the Houston Texans last Thursday, but it looks pretty cut-and-dry to me. Suh is lucky Jim Schwartz didn't try to challenge the play.
-The Green Bay Packers took a rare beatdown from the Giants in Week 12. If I were a betting man, I'd put a lot of money on the Packers this week. They haven't lost two games in a row in two years.
Anyway, enough of the random musings. On to the rankings we go.

To the editor:
I felt compelled to write as a concerned grandparent. I would ask that we all vote in the upcoming election - vote with your head as well as your heart.
I am deeply troubled by the trash in the films and TV promoted by the "Obama Hollywood friends" and the trashy rantings of singers like Madonna. I would like to see the work ethic of our parents passed on to the next generations.
Our grandchildren may miss the satisfaction from a job well done. We need our jobs back in America, not a handout from government. I believe Romney has positive plans to put us back on the right track.
Daily, I see seniors who have worked all their lives having to decide between gas, groceries or prescriptions. The Obama health plan is not the one for the majority.
Let Obama spend the next four years on the Letterman Show and Michelle on The View - They don't belong in our White House. They've had their time.

You'll be missed, Ricky Hatton
Saturday nights result was tinged with sadness, not just for the defeat, but the fact that well never see Ricky Hatton in the ring again. Those balmy nights, the singing, the dancing, the anticipation, the love everyone felt for him. Im sure many of his fans would gladly have taken those punches for him if they could.
We are never going to be talking about the worlds best fighter, not even close. Yes he ruled the roost at 140 for a few short years, and yes he did win a world title at 147 but the reality and we know it was that the LWW division was much weaker in the latter part of the 2000s and his stint at 147 was short lived. When it came to the cream of crop Ricky came up short.
BUT, understand this, haters. Ricky Hatton was, without doubt, question or hesitation, the most loved fighter in the world. Yes, universally the likes of Manny and Floyd have their fans most on this forum! However, for pure fan devotion, Ricky Hatton was THE true world champion. Ive been over 10 of his fights and countless others around the world and nothing, NOTHING comes close to the atmosphere and love generated by the most loyal fans that are the Hatton fans.
I know people will still s****** and mock his achievements, but he will be sadly missed. Boxing was unquestionably improved with his presence in the ring and i doubt well ever see someone like him someone so loyally adored in the ring again.
God bless you son, thanks for ALL the memories.

It was actually his fanbase that kind of put me off supporting him as a fighter, I've never seen so many toothless football hooligans in all my life.
20,000 screaming Ricky Hatton fans all with a combined I.Q in single figures.
He had a good career, I just hope he stays in retirement now as he clearly doesn't have it anymore.

Oh, he's a real fan, oh, he just a casual fan doesnt know what he's talking about, oh yes he knows his stuff, dont listen to him only watches boxing now and again.
These fans are probably sports fans and they enjoy boxing aswel las other sports (bit like me) I enjoy to take part in and watch numerous different sports and I think thats quite normal. I'ts not often you get someone that has such a following and thats why its different.
Calzaghe actually had a similar following of fans that would also sing... Super Super Joe...Super Super Joe...
Lets not judge people by how much WE / YOU think they like or know about the sport or how much of a fan you think they are!

Chris Brown's on again off again girlfriend Karrueche Tran was caught doing the walk of shame outside Chris Brown's house recently and hopping into the Porsche Panamera they wrapped in blue. The camera also caught a good shot of Chris' cars parked curbside outside his house including his Range Rover, what looks like his Dodge Viper (used to be black with red wheels but he may have wrapped it) and if you looks close you can see his jetfighter Lamborghini is sitting in the driveway. Here's the Viper we spotted him in before.
So maybe it's just us but don't you think he needs a better garage setup?

CLEVELAND (AP) — Police agencies across Ohio have sent more than 2,300 untested rape kits to a state crime lab for testing that could potentially help solve hundreds of sexual assault cases, some......
This is outrageous! I cannot believe that these tests were not performed at the time of the rapes. To me, that means that the rapists are running free for the last ten years....what sense does this make? Cost of the test??...this dates back to when the economy was better than today. I suppose the money was spent on raises, benefits, instead of getting the tests done and getting the rapists off the streets. Sad state of affairs.

Do you recall dinner hour at your house when you were growing up? Was there a set hour when your family sat down together to eat the evening meal? When your mother called you in from your outdoor activities and you knew you'd better get moving immediately because you had to wash your hands, ditch the baseball hat and be at your designated place at the table?
What did your family talk about over supper? Current events? What you learned at school that day? Why it was wrong to bully another kid? Did you learn some of life's best lessons sitting around that table? Did you learn about your dad's job-the one that supported the family? Did you laugh about funny things together and feel connected?
What did you do after supper? Did you help Mom clear the table and pull out a board game of Parcheesi, Monopoly or drag out a deck of cards to play War, Crazy Eights or Uno? And did you talk, reminisce and laugh some more?
Those were some of the best times. When you recall them, you may wish you could go back and do them all over again. What did you get from those times? Why do they mean so much to you? Have you given your children some of those same lessons from life that lead to better decision-making?
"Family dinner is an ideal time to strengthen the quality of family relationships," says Joseph A. Califano Jr., founder and chairman of CASA (National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. "As the quality of teens relationships with their parents declines, their likelihood of using tobacco, alcohol and marijuana rises. Siblings are important, too: teens who believe their older siblings have tried illegal drugs are more likely to say they expect to try drugs in the future."
Between 1999 and 2011, teens were asked, other than food, what did they consider the best part of family dinners? More than half surveyed said "that talking, sharing, catching up and interacting with family members is the best part."
Here are a few questions for you to ponder about your family dinners:
How long is your family gathered around the dinner table? Under 15 minutes? 15-20 minutes? Half an hour? Or more than half an hour?
How much time do you spend checking in with your teens to see how they are doing?
Would your teens like to spend more-or less-time with you?
Do you and your child's other parent agree on what to say about alcohol, marijuana and drug use?
"Over the past 17 years," Califano reports, "CASA Columbia's national survey of teens and parents has consistently found a relationship between the frequency of family dinners and teen drinking, smoking and other drug use."
A lot of us grew up sitting down together every night for supper. If having frequent family dinners prevents substance abuse in teens, and if the experience is uplifting for the whole family, why wouldn't you want to? What are your priorities? Do you need to reconsider them?
The survey shows that teens who have a good relationship with Mom and/or Dad are less likely to abuse harmful substances. And this study also reports that teens who eat dinner with their families are also more likely to attend religious services that contribute to stronger family values.

Student Success Story
PSM Alum Pursues Green-Vehicle Technology
The average passenger car produces more than 12,000 pounds of polluting emissions yearly, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This number could be reduced to zero by discovering an efficient chemical pathway for producing hydrogen—the problem is finding it.
"Hydrogen-fueled vehicles only produce water as a byproduct, but the dilemma is how you go about producing this hydrogen without producing other greenhouse gases," says Jack Shultz, MS '06 professional science. Since he was a master's student at AU, Shultz has been analyzing enzyme reactions in hopes of discovering one that releases hydrogen molecules, thus providing a cheap, clean method of producing the gas.
To date, scientists have discovered one such reaction, which occurs in the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii alga during its final stage of photosynthesis. But the oxygen produced from splitting water quickly damages hydrogenase, the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction, making this method of hydrogen production inefficient. There may be other enzyme catalysts, however, and analysis of more than 47,509 publicly accessible protein structures may identify one. By running computerized simulations of these naturally occurring reactions, Shultz hopes to identify the key to producing inexpensive hydrogen fuel.
Constraints in time and computing power would make running this many simulations on a standard PC nearly impossible, but Shultz uses a secret weapon: Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC). BOINC projects can use the CPU power from a network of project participants' computers. "Running 47,509 simulations could be a lengthy process," says Shultz, "but if you have over a million computers distributing the work, then it isn't so bad."
Last year, Shultz attended several conferences related to this research, including BOINC's annual workshop in Grenoble, France, and the American Chemical Society's annual conference. There, he participated in computational chemistry symposiums on cutting-edge enzyme technology. He is currently applying to theoretic chemistry doctorate programs in order to further enrich his work on this project.

- Chasing Utopia by Nikki Giovanni
Chasing Utopia
Thanks to social networking, G.K. Chesterton's remark that "poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese" has recently been given wide, if undeserved, circulation; anyone who consults the Poetry Foundation's online poetry archive will find his claim not to be true. Hoping to disprove any larger point he may have been making, however, we asked several poets to mix memory and desire — for food — in the pieces that follow. Bon appetit!
So here is the actual story. I was bored. Bored even though I had the privilege of interviewing Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space, who said she pursued a degree in physics and also became a medical doctor to keep her mind occupied. Mae's iq must be nine hundred and fifty-five or thereabouts. I asked: "How do you keep from being bored?"
And she replied: "A friend of my father's once told me 'If you're bored you're not paying attention.'"
So I said: "Beer."
We are foodies, my family and I. My grandmother was an extraordinary cook. Her miniature Parker House rolls have been known to float the roof off a flooded house in hurricane season. Grandpapa made pineapple ice cream so rich and creamy, with those surprising chunks that burst with citrusy flavor. My sister, Gary Ann, made spring rolls so perfectly the Chinese complained to the State Department, and my Aunt fries chicken just short of burning that has been known to make the Colonel denounce his own kfc. Mommy was the best bean cooker in this world—and still is, I'm sure, in the next. I do a pretty swell pot roast myself. We are, in other words, dangerous when it comes to food.
Mommy also liked pig feet. Boiled. Not pickled.
I was sad when Mommy died. Then six weeks later Gary Ann died. Then my Aunt Ann. I tried to find a way to bring them back.
Mommy drank Miller Genuine Draft. Gary Ann drank Bud Light. Not me. What did I have in common with those guys on tv who were throwing a football around and looking just shy of fat? Nothing. They bored me. If it was going to be beer, I needed to learn something.
Going through books, I came across Utopia. Sam Adams. The number one beer in the world. Having always been a fan of start at the top, I called my local beer store. "I'd like to order a Utopia, please." Thinking this would be easy.
"No Way," Keith said. "We never get that!"
ok. I called Bounty Hunter. They have everything. That's where I bought my Justice Series: Blind Justice, Frontier Justice, Poetic Justice. Great red wines.
"No, ma'am, we don't sell beer."
Utopia is only on a special allotment to Canada, where it is sold as a "Special Brew." If I could just get to Canada, I could find my Utopia. But, dadgummit, the tsa would take it from me, claiming it was over three ounces. I'd be doggone if I would provide that group with Utopia. Never. Never. No Canada for me.
Samuel Adams's Utopia is only brewed every other year. There will be a batch coming out this year, but it goes really quickly. There are folk who work at the Sam Adams Brewery just to be able to smell it, and I have heard, though I doubt that it's true, that you are strip-searched when you leave work during Utopia season. Once, they say, someone belched and was immediately arrested.
Utopia is incredibly special, is the number one beer in the world because the aroma alone is worth the price. Can a beer be "chewy" while at the same time smooth as silk? Can a beer make you feel like a queen while bringing out your libido, making you want to howl? Indeed it can. Utopia makes you want a Swan for your Leda. A Lancelot for your Guinevere. A boiled pig foot for your low-down blues. Special? Are your first pair of stockings special? Is the first time your Mom let you wear lipstick special? Is your first kiss special? It's Utopia.
But here is the happy part. I am a poet. I occasionally get invited to speak at Important Government Agencies. I was thrilled. Sure, someone will say: Why would you, a poet, a rebel, you who hate the tsa and think railroads should make a big comeback, you who think modern wars are stupid and unworthy—why would you speak for an Important Government Agency? Well, for one thing, I am an American. So government, whether I like it or not, R Me. For another thing, I know they have the world's best computers. I was charming. I was funny. I was very nice and a good citizen. I wanted an illegal favor.
"Please, sir," said I, "can you find Utopia?"
"Of course, little lady," said the Director. "It's in your heart and mind." He smiled a lovely smile and patted me on my shoulder. Not wanting to appear to correct him, I smiled the smile of the defeated. And waited for him to leave. I asked his assistant.
"I think," he pontificated, "it is in your soul. Search deep and you will find it."
I knew I needed someone of color. Finally an older man, grey hair cut short, came by. "Please excuse me," I said, "I'm trying to find Utopia. Can you help?"
"Why sure," he said "as soon as I can find a safe computer." We moved into another room and he made me stand way away from him so that I could not see the screen. He pulled up a website. "Here you go." And he was right. "I can't buy it as it's against the rules, but get someone else to go to this site. I hear it's a great beer. At $350 a pint, it ought to be."
And now that I've found Utopia, I am at peace. I have Utopia, and if I were Egyptian I would be buried with it. I use it to start conversations and make friends. It is not for mortals. Or Americans. Utopia is for the gods.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Yarn Weight
|Aran (10 ply)
What materials did you use? I used KnitPro 6mm (interchangeable) circulars on a 100cm stiff cable. The yarn is from my unending 400m skein of acrylic. (Seriously. It's like Mary Poppins's bag). I also used KnitPro split ring stitch markers. I prefer them as they're like the perfect combo of both ring and locking markers. The photos are "unblocked". I'll be trying the wet-blocking method to get the lace to "pop" a little bit more and perhaps coax the cabled into a nicer shape. But, hey. It's acrylic. Only so much you can do.
What are you most proud of? This is the most time-intensive project I've yet finished. It's the first time I've experienced truly getting into the knitting meditative state. That was a delight.

This system exchanges vehicle information between automobiles and motorcycles, such as position, direction and speed. Motorcycle riders can view information about vehicles near them on a display, and can receive information through an in-helmet audio system. Drivers can view information on the status of motorcycles in their vicinity and receive warnings on their navigation system display.
Example Motorcycle Displays
Oncoming Vehicle Information Assistance System
This system analyzes images from the camera mounted on the front of the motorcycle to detect stop signs and either line markings or road markings. If the rider does not slow down when approaching an intersection, a warning appears on the motorcycle's display screen, and an audio warning sounds in the rider's helmet, prompting the rider to decelerate.
In addition, once the motorcycle has come to a stop, the Inter-Vehicle Communication System detects the position of any approaching vehicles, assisting the rider in determining whether it is safe to proceed through the intersection.
Information on intersections that are without traffic signals is gathered from car navigation system data. Images from the vehicle's cameras are analyzed to detect stop lines and stop signs. Based on the vehicle's speed and distance to the stop line the system determines whether the vehicle is traveling at a speed that will enable it to stop by the time it reaches the stop line. If the vehicle is exceeding the appropriate speed, the system issues an audio warning while signaling the driver to slow down with a sensory warning via the application of gentle, intermittent braking.
Once the automobile has come to a stop, the Inter-Vehicle Communication System detects the position of any approaching vehicles and assists the driver in determining whether it is safe to proceed through the intersection.

In Reply to: Goldilocks and the three bears posted by Ellen R. on July 23, 2001 at 22:50:37:
: Does any one have the lyrics to a song which tells the Goldilocks story with a beat? It starts:
Once upon a time in a neat little cottage there lived three bears. One was a papa bear and one was a mama bear and one was a wee bear. While they were out a walkin' through the deep woods a stalkin' came a little girl with blonde hair. Now her name was Goldilocks and and upon the door she knocks but no one was there. So she walked right had herself a ball 'cause she didn't care. But soon she got sleepy, went to bed upstairs when home, home, home came the three bears. Some one's been eating my porridge said the Daddy Bear! Someone's been eating my porridge said the Mama Bear! Bear bop a reBear, said the little wee bear Someone has broken my chair! Just then Goldilocks woke up, broke up the party and beat it outta there. Bye bye said the Daddy Bear, Bye said the Mama Bear, Bye said the baby Bear. So ends the story of the the three bears
: Thanks. It is driving us crazy!

Nice name. :P
There is a decrease in appetite but there are a lot of calorie-dense foods that you can eat if you want to bulk up. Of course you won't gain muscle unless you do something that builds muscle, i.e. strength training.
How do you guys think a primal diet fits for the really skinny guy? The thing is i definitely don't need to lose weight but maybe even gain some. I have never been fat in my life no matter what i have been eating.
I have heard following a strict primal living actually decreases your appetite. I'm not sure i want that. Maybe I should follow the primal living but with extra serving of fruits or something? Or is there even such a thing as being too skinny provided you get the all the essential micro nutrients? I know being skinny doesn't look very attractive at least
Nice name. :P
There is a decrease in appetite but there are a lot of calorie-dense foods that you can eat if you want to bulk up. Of course you won't gain muscle unless you do something that builds muscle, i.e. strength training.
Good question, I am also a 'skinny guy' who wants to follow the blueprint for health reasons. From my own experience, I'd make a couple of suggestions. (1) be towards the higher end of the range when it comes to carbs (like over 100 g a day) (2) eat a moderate amount of potatoes/root vegetables (3) include heavy cream and butter in your diet and (4) include a bit of honey.
I started putting honey in my coffee after realizing that (there have been posts on this) that sugar makes you hungry. So, where I may not have eaten until 2pm that day, I will want an early lunch or breakfast after a tablespoon of raw honey. That is one of the keys to keeping/increasing my weight. It is a twisted interpretation of the blueprint, though.
Beyond that, exercise is key. I don't know what your current routine is. However, I personally do not do any cardio. I do hang cleans, front squats, pullups, pushups, etc three days a week. Since starting exercising two years ago, I have put about 8 pounds and my waist has decreased, so I attribute that to lean mass.
Heh, just realized i posted in completely wrong forum section.
Good suggestions mhoward. I think though that when it comes to carbs fructose is the thing us skinny guys should be looking for since it increases leptin resistance. And what would be a better source of fructose than nutritious fruits? Opinions?
Hm, im not sure how food's calorie density matters at all?
