SAN DIEGO, Jan. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trius Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSRX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative antibiotics for serious infections, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated the company's Phase 3 antibiotic candidate, tedizolid phosphate, as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP). Trius received the designation for its current Phase 3 program of tedizolid for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) as well as the planned Phase 3 program for hospital-acquired/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP). In addition, the designations were granted for both the intravenous and oral dosage forms of tedizolid. The QIDP designation will enable Trius to benefit from certain incentives for the development of new antibiotics, including priority review and eligibility for fast-track status. The QIDP designation was created by the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act, which was part of the FDA Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA).
"The FDA's QIDP designation for tedizolid is further confirmation that the GAIN Act is aimed at promoting more rapid antibiotic development, and we are pleased to receive the designation for both the intravenous and oral dosage forms of tedizolid," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Trius. "The tedizolid clinical program reflects our commitment to bring safe, effective and convenient therapies to people with serious infections."
Tedizolid recently completed enrollment of its second ABSSSI Phase 3 trial, designated ESTABLISH 2, which examined the efficacy and safety of a six-day course of tedizolid administered once a day versus a 10-day course of linezolid (Zyvox®) administered twice a day in patients recruited across sites in North and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. For both tedizolid and linezolid, drug was initially administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion with the option to switch to oral therapy. In September of 2012, Trius presented detailed results of its ESTABLISH 1 trial, which tested the oral dosage form of tedizolid. The ESTABLISH 1 trial achieved all FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) primary and secondary efficacy outcomes and demonstrated significantly lower safety and tolerability events compared to linezolid.
At December 31, 2012, Trius estimates that it had cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling $66.0 million. This amount is preliminary, unaudited, subject to change upon completion of our year-end audit, and may differ from what will be reflected in our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Additional information and disclosures would be required for a more complete understanding of our financial position and results of operations as of December 31, 2012.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Oklahoma State megabooster T. Boone Pickens said Wednesday he had little input regarding the hiring of Travis Ford as the Cowboys' basketball coach.
But Pickens praised Ford's hiring _ along with that of university President Burns Hargis _ as potentially historic ones for his alma mater.
"It will go down in history that Burns Hargis and Travis Ford will be the two best hires we've made in the last 50 years," Pickens said after speaking at an energy conference sponsored by Oklahoma State's Spears School of Business.
Earlier, during his presentation at the conference, Pickens veered off script for a few moments to discuss Ford, who was officially introduced last Thursday as the Cowboys' new coach.
"I think we got us a basketball coach," Pickens said.
Pickens, the founder of Dallas-based energy investment fund BP Capital, has given more than $250 million to Oklahoma State in recent years. Oklahoma State renamed its football stadium in his honor.
Pickens said he spoke with Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder _ a longtime friend_ as Holder searched for a coach to replace Sean Sutton, who resigned under pressure on April 1 after two seasons as the Cowboys' head coach.
But the billionaire energy magnate said he didn't offer much advice to Holder, who first tried to woo Kansas coach Bill Self. Self declined his alma mater's overtures and Holder eventually offered the job to Ford, who guided Massachusetts to this season's National Invitation Tournament championship game.
"Mike and I talk a lot," Pickens said. "� He told me that he was going to talk to Bill Self, which he did. Then I heard from him a day or two later, and he said he was talking to Travis. I just encouraged him more than anything else. He bounces ideas off of me from time to time.
"Don't ever have the idea that I'm trying to run the athletic department. I've got a full-time job," Pickens said.
Holder has said Pickens was not involved in Ford's hiring.
During the search, media reports hinted that Oklahoma State was willing to offer Self a $6 million signing bonus as well as a contract that would pay $3.5 million a year. Pickens said those numbers were "not true," but didn't elaborate. Last week, Holder said those numbers "out there in the media � were all fiction."
Self has said that no dollar figure was mentioned in his conversation with Holder.
Ford has agreed to a contract that will pay him $1.3 million annually for seven years, which would make him the highest-paid coach of any sport in Oklahoma State's history.
He said Friday he had spoken with Pickens for the first time the previous night. Ford said Pickens asked about the coach's 8-year-old son, Brooks, who had undergone a root canal earlier in the week.
"The one thing that most impressed me about him is he asked, 'How's your son?' That impressed me more than anything, that he even knew and remembered," Ford said.

Alpha Project is a Battlefield 2 modification which goals are to bring back all the features that were left out in the retail game. The gameplay style of the mod is a mixture of arcade and realism.
The best mod for BF2 I ever played!
Highest Rated (42 agree) 9/10
This mod is a perfect little thing - it changes the game so that it is far more playable and enjoyable than vanilla BF2. Proper damage and accuracy in this mod are nicely balanced so that you actually can kill things if you aim and shoot - in vanilla BF2, you're lucky if you can get 2 shots on an enemy with a rifle when prone, sometimes even the first flies off elsewhere; and when it takes 5-6 shots to bring an enemy down, it's horrific. This mod fixes this nicely; not so realistic that everyone…

A saddened Annie Matheney sat in her living room, remembering her eldest son and thinking how he always seemed so blessed.
How Charles "Buster" Matheney rose above the toughness of South-Central Los Angeles to become, in 1974, one of the city's finest prep basketball players. How his star continued to rise at the University of Utah, where he was voted the team's best player. How he barely missed the NBA but played pro basketball all over the world.
"Then this happens, the worst thing that you could ever imagine," she said.
After walking out of a fried chicken and fish takeout place at East 76th Place and Central Avenue at 7:30 p.m. Monday, the 6-foot-9 Matheney was pursued by three men driving a beige Ford Explorer, said Sheriff's Sgt. Chuck Stringham. At least one of the men shot at him, and at least two bullets struck his upper body.
In a dusty, graffiti-filled alley about 50 yards from the All Star Fish Market, the rangy 44-year-old collapsed and died.
Stringham said authorities don't know the motive for the killing and have made no arrests. "Three men in an Explorer," Stringham said. "That's all we've got."

"Alright so big appointment today at the Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre. Met with my naturopath Dr. Mcdonel.
First off, they have not had experience with Neuroblastoma patients so this will all be experimental which has been my experience since Day 1 of this diagnosis so I understand that.
Now she did say that they will research and the things that they have started me on and will research will not cause any harm but may or may not be beneficial. We discussed my goals today in knowing that I do have a terminal illness and in no way is this expected to be a cure but a way to prolong life and enhance quality of life.
My two main starting goals were increasing energy and managing pain control. I have another appointment on Monday to see their General Practitioner to get the blood work done to start the Vitamin C infusions. That should start hopefully within the next two weeks. They are going to try to get in contact with the naturopath clinic in Cornwall to see if the Treatments can be given there which will lessen my trips to Ottawa as they do increase my pain as its a long ride for me. I am really hoping that it is a possibility. They are planning approximately 15 (or more depending on the outcome) of the Vitamin C infusions with a review after 3 to 4 treatments. They said I will know by then if the treatments are helping or not and if its worth continuing or not.
I am also starting Vitamin D3 1000 IU/Day (Prevent deficiency and helps with immune support), Curcumin (powerful anti-inflammatory, helps with pain, lowers inflammation and may have direct anti-cancer actions)), Melatonin (helps with side effects including pain, appetite, energy and sleep quality. It is also an anti-oxidant which helps support immune function and has anti-cancer actions.) and Probiotics (Helps to heal the digestive tract, anti-inflammatory, good for immune system). These supplements are to be added to my daily medication list and I am to continue my current pain regiment of dilaudid, lyrica and cannabis oil.
There are other things to be added later on as needed but i am positive this is a good start. Also looking into Mistletoe injections which are an at home injection, I have some paperwork to look over for it and a little bit of research to do on it myself and cost to look into it. I will be getting an email with cost breakdown for all of these as well soon. Bought the supplements I needed to start today and will be integrating them. Also she was very happy with my current nutrition plan that we have in place.Thank you Shanna Marie Lynn for your help with that this weekend :) I also got a referral for 2 free sessions of yoga therapy.

Feedback from our customersMy refrigerator compressor gave out last week. I didn't know what to do, so I gave these guys a shout. They were able to figure out what was wrong without even seeing my fridge. When their guy made it out, he took a quick look, went out to his van, and came back to complete the job. Not a word of lie, he was in and out of my home and had the job done successfully in under half an hour. Very impressed!
Repairing appliance power cords is not easy, but it's not rocket science, either. The hardest part is knowing how to reconnect the wires once you chop the cord. There are many videos online that help you with cutting and replacing the power cord if yours is damaged. However, you are dealing with an electrical part of the appliance. Make sure to follow proper safety measures when replacing the cord to prevent any injuries. If you aren't sure, get a repair tech to come out and replace the cord for you.

Mini gameIf you manage to solve all five cases with a "Master" rating from Grissom, you unlock a special award: a simple blackjack simulation.
Product placementCSI: Hard Evidence contains massive product placement.
- HP: all notebooks and most TV screens in the game are HP models and clearly feature the HP logo.
- Dyson: one piece of evidence is a Dyson Root 6 vacuum cleaner, which has to be scrutinized closely on the examination table and turned on to witness it in action.
- Chrysler: the car under scrutiny in the CSI garage in case 4 is a spotless Chrysler Town & Country. The inspection includes an automated cutscene fly-through of the interior, with the backsides of all seats sporting big, bright Chrysler logos.
- Visa: the Visa logo is prevalent through the entire game, most notably during a jigsaw sequence in which players have to reassemble a broken glass pane from a store counter marked with a big Visa sticker. As part of one investigation, players have to track account data of a credit card. Brass relates the results, stating: "Good folks over there at Visa!"

Hamlet staged in the Poisoned Glen
More than 200 people, teenagers and adults alike, attended a double production of William Shakespeare's classic drama, Hamlet, earlier this week at the Dunlewey Theatre in the Poisoned Glen.
Performed by the Cloughaneely Players, an amateur acting group based in Falcarragh and directed by former teacher, Murray Learmont, the production was part of a global tribute to the Bard of Stratford whose 448th birthday is being celebrated. The play, set in Denmark, is part of the Leaving Cert English exam and many students including those from community schools in Falcarragh and Gweedore attended a special matinee performance.
Among the audience was Phyllis Hillen from Belfast (see photo), and her son, Joseph from Ashbourne, Meath. Phyllis was celebrating her 84th birthday. "It was a brilliant show, something entirely different for a birthday treat. I had a great time and to think the actors are not even professional. What commitment. They were so good."
Added Murray, "We do try to cater to people of all ages so Phyllis's attendance - and her enjoyment - together with all the students shows we're succeeding. It was a great overall team effort."

Appledore's famous History Race took place on Saturday 27th May. The evening race was supported by six local clubs, with eleven crews taking part. It is a challenging distance of around 6 miles from Appledore Quay down the Torridge to the Middle Ridge marker buoy and back.
With the full width of the Estuary and Skern to manouevre, the line taken by the boats often plays a crucial part. Coxes try to use the fast currents and flat water areas to their advantage. This year was made even more exciting with the incoming tide and swell creating waves, which a skilful cox can use to surf their boat home.
Gig boats lined up across the estuary as a sailing race was about to take place, creating a colourful spectacle at the start. As the boats headed out to sea, it was the Torridge men who took the lead. They kept their position right up until the final 250m, unable to shake off a chasing Appledore crew who turned on the power and crossed the finish line first. Both rowers and spectators enjoyed the thrill of the close finish, unusual for a race lasting the best part of an hour.
The event originated in the 1930's when there were still six working pilot gigs on the Torridge. Rival gigs Siren and Endeavour challenged each other to a race for a £1 wager. In 2008 Appledore Pilot Gig Club took ownership of a training boat and named her Siren to maintain the historical connection; the race is now an annual event, a £1 coin the focal point of the winner's trophy.
Participating Clubs: Appledore, Barnstaple, Boscastle & Crackington Haven, Bude, Clovelly, Torridge

Forgotten Legacy
In 1220 AD the political situation in the Rhine Tribunal has stagnated.
The ultra-conservative Oak gild dominates tribunal politics and oppose all challenges to the status quo and any attempts of change.
No new covenants have been formed for over forty years and young magi are forced to accept the stifling hierarchy of the tribunal or leave.
In an effort to oppose the increasing dissent among Oak gild opponents and counter the waning influence of the First Tribunal in the Hermetic political landscape the Oak Gild has decided that new covenants must be formed at the Tribunal of 1221.
These are the voyages of 5 young magi, charged by the Oak Gild to rebuild a long lost covenant, satisfy growing demands for renewal and obey their superiors.
Will these young magi settle comfortably in their new home, guard the status quo and serve their superiors like obedient lapdogs or will they break out from the opressive yoke of elder magi not long for this world and forge their own destiny as masters of their own home.
And what of their new home?
Who lived there long before and why where they murdered by unknown assailants?
What secrets will the young magi uncover and can they claim the power of a

By virtue of their medical qualification, all medical doctors are entitled to practise medicine, which in principle may include homeopathy. Owing to a different definition of health, however, the therapeutic objective as well as the practical approach to illness differs widely in homeopathy as compared to conventional medicine. Homeopathy requires specific knowledge and skills. Therefore, not all doctors can be considered as competent homeopathic doctors. Competence depends on the quality of this specific knowledge and skill. Homeopathic doctors should be able to combine the knowledge and skills in homeopathic practice with the knowledge and skills in the practice of conventional medicine. A homeopathic physician will, therefore, be a fully qualified medical practitioner additionally trained in homeopathy, and qualified to integrate homeopathy into patient care within the context of general medical practice, conventional specialist practice or full-time homeopathic practice. S/he will bring to the consultation all the ethical and professional values, competence and responsibility that are expected of a medical practitioner; forming an all round assessment of the patient's needs, and collaborating with other health care practitioners whose care the patient is already receiving or may need.
Homeopathy now / Homéopathie maintenant / Omeopatia adesso / Homöopathie jetzt / Homeopatia agora / Homeopatia ara / Homeopatia orain - Bitácora plurilingüe de salud y homeopatía, como una revista en crecimiento, dedicada a la salud, y a la homeopatía clásica, desde su uso tradicional hasta los métodos modernos. A multilingual homeopathic health blog, arranged as a cumulative growing journal, devoted to health matters, specially classical homeopathy, from traditional use to modern methods -
POSITION PAPER The practice of homeopathy Modern homeopathic doctors make a conventional diagnosis like all other doctors. History, examination and investigation are all important in patient management. Conventional diagnosis is essential in order to identify the patient for whom homeopathic treatment is appropriate, and to determine the location and the pathological changes involved. Besides this, it renders inestimable help in planning the homeopathic treatment. It gives an idea of the location (tissues and organs affected), the pathological changes (type, degree and extent), the pathogenic agent, the physiological disturbances induced, the psychological accompaniments, and the pathogenesis. It is obvious that no rational treatment can be planned in the absence of knowledge of the factors mentioned above. Similarly, it will be impossible to give the prognosis with any semblance of accuracy unless the doctor possesses this knowledge. It also enables the doctors to 'choose their case' and to eliminate cases that require primarily surgical or other measures. It also makes assessment of the results possible. Both the pathology presented and the long-term treatments require the homeopathic practitioner to make continual assessments of the indication for treatment. Homeopathic treatment often needs to be prescribed within a broader care plan, which includes an awareness of the need for conventional medical diagnosis, prognosis and treatments. Since, in a number of cases, homeopathy can be applied as a successful alternative to conventional medicine and in other cases can be used to supplement conventional medicine, the regulation and co-ordination of training criteria imposed on the practitioners providing homeopathy should constitute an essential guarantee for citizens. Therefore, it is essential, in the interests of both patients and practitioners, that qualifications be harmonised at the same high level as in conventional medicine. Only a full medical training can ensure the necessary minimum clinical competence required.

Hey guys,
I spent 2 months in NZ, the best ones in my life!!
I travelled with Stray which is for me the best way to enjoy it while meeting people and to not stress about organizing everything. You can travel everywhere in NZ for one full year with their passes and discover the wonders of the nature and the Maori culture.
I'm still writing my blogposts about it (yeah I know, I'm a few months late, but didn't stop travelling since then, so...) on this address: -snip-
Enjoy it!

CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and long-term stroke outcome in patients without atrial fibrillation
Neurology: February 13, 2013
Objective: CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores are used to assess stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated whether these scores are associated with stroke outcome in non-AF stroke patients.
Methods: Consecutive patients with acute first-ever ischemic stroke but without AF were classified into subgroups according to prestroke CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores and followed up for 5 years. The end points were death, stroke recurrence, and a composite of major cardiovascular events. Read more

Tony is the BEST! He has impeccable service and professionalism. Our friends booked Tony for our wine tour in Santa Barbara and it was so fun! Tony made our trip with little touches and making sure we were all having a great time! First he checked ALL of ID's, very thorough c/ we all looked so young! 😉 Then he prepared the limo with champagne, juice and bottled water. Then, before we left for our trip he made sure to take a group picture. We proceeded to our wineries and he took our pictures at all the wineries, coordinated our lunch delivery at the second winery and even brought out a table cloth linen for our bench! What a small touch that make our lunch more comfortable. He made sure we were on time for all our tasting appointments. He checked on us often and helped us find our last wineries and bathrooms haha! I cannot rave enough about Tony, thank you for your great door to door service!

The informed finger post at Snipe House.
We went "This Way".
Field Forget-Me-Nots as we approached Tegg's Nose Country Park near the end of the walk.
Tegg's Nose and Sutton Common in our sights - nearly there!
Walk stats: Distance: 8.8 miles. Climb: 1740'.
Time: 6 hours 3 minutes. On the move walking average: 1.9 m.p.h. Overall walk average: 1.5 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn and Mike.
This is usually a walk that we usually do at some point during the Winter months, so doing it in Summer conditions was something new.
In the main the weather was warm and sunny with a pleasant cooling wind at times, only clouding over for the last mile when we even felt a few drops of the wet stuff.
Much improvements had been done along the route, with stiles replaced by kissing gates and duck boards put in one of the places that in the past were very difficult to negotiate without getting wet feet.
As a change we decided to explore the path via Wickinford Farm and Snipe House, thankfully well signed as the path had been re-routed as it crossed a stream and went through the the wood and over Ely Brow.
It was such a good day for walking that we really did dawdle, admiring the views and the flowers as we went.
Lunch was taken near Charity Lane, where we took advantage of a bench with views towards Shining Tor and the Cat's Fiddle. Hang gliders performed over Shining Tor as we had lunch.
Birds seen or heard included: Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Raven, Woodpigeon, Common chaffinch, Common blackbird, Mallard, Pied wagtail, European robin, Goldfinch, Common kestrel, Barn swallow, Rook, Skylark, Lapwing and Eurasian curlew.
We arrived back at the car, having had an excellent walk and celebrated with a cup of tea and coffee at the Tegg's Nose Cafe before we headed home.
Tegg's Nose and Macclesfield Forest will in future be a Summer walk and we can look forward dry mud conditions and clean boots at the end of the day!

The Ferdiad Cycle
Mynydd-Brynn, located north of Aenoria, are the tallest mountains in the eastern Drystan. They were risen from the ground in one day by the cataclysm known as the Skyfall at the end of the Imperial Cycle. It is a mystical area populated by many monsters and Greenskins tunneling underneath it's peaks. While no nation claims ownership over it, the Bridei consider it a holy place and exterminate any outsider who dares to enter.
In 1097 explorers discovered fountains in the southern mountainsides that seemed to have healing abilities, later dubbed as the Godspring. Three years later the prophet Tios mac Larwein built the Larwein temples into to guard the holy fountains, launching the Bridei into a holy war that has lasted to this day.

On the way home from camping we stopped at a large Flea market. Prices weren't all that great inside but we found some bargains at the outside vendors.
Here are my treasures:
A very rusty cast iron glue pot.
A handle for a sad iron. I had the iron for a long time and now it has a handle!
It has a crack in the wood so I wouldn't pick it up by the handle but it looks good!
My final find was this cute ceramic tea lite fish. I have his daddy a large black cast iron fish of the same style.
P.S. I just got news that my cousin's wife died suddenly this morning so I might not be around for awhile :(

text: There are some known errors for Adobe InDesine 2.0 and installation. Here are some work arrounds that i found on some messagebords. There has been some suspicion by Adobe tech support that the faster machines are more likely to have a problem. I have used the second way of doing it and it worked for me. I and a friend of mine have been having problems getting it to work. thought I would post it in case anyone esle had the same problems. Not every one will have this problem. -evildead Method1 1. Start the installation process as usual. 2. When the installer has started the installation, switch into the Finder and navigate to where you are installatiing InD 2. 3. Select the InD 2 folder that is being installed -- and then start hitting Cmd-D multiple times to start multiple Finder copies of the InD 2 folder. 4. If you start enough simultaneous copies of the InD 2 folder you'll find that all this Finder activity slows the installer down -- start enough Finder copies so that the installer is slowed to the point where it's installing one or two items per second. 5. As Finder copies complete, start new copies so that installer runs at its slower pace throughout the installlation. Daft as it may seem, the rather ludicrous procedure outlined above will allow the installer to complete about 50% of the time. If it doesn't work first time, try a couple of more times. (And don't forget to delete all the duplicate InD 2 folders!!!!) How I did get here? Well, IMHO there's a serious flaw with the installer tools whereby when an installer error occurs it just deletes everything it's just tried to install, including the installer log file. Having an installer log file written to disk in the event of an installer error would be a great help in trying to deubug exactly where the installer failed. So, in an effort to capture an installer log file as close as possible to the point where the installer was failing, I started an installation and kept copying the InD 2 folder -- and lo and behold, the first time I tried it I got through a complete installation. Subsequent investigation proved that it wasn't a fluke -- although it's only successful about 50% of the time. Method2 The best work around yet appeared recently on the Adobe User forums. Using Disk Copy (found in the Utilities folder) make a blank disk image (I used the regular 700MB CD size, though ID is only 82MB, so you could use a smaller image). Don't give the image a title - when I tried this, it didn't show up as a place to install ID. Then run the installer, choosing the disk image as the installation location. After you're done, drag the ID folder to the OS X Applications folder. Done. This is by far the easiest of all the solutions suggested - doesn't involve burning CD's, external drives or anything else and it's quick. I've been using ID 2.0 for a couple of days now and it's great! Method3 There was a posting by Mike ******** (2/5/02) that suggested the following and IT WORKS! Start up Terminal window and enter the following commands followed by a return: sudo chmod 1775 / (it will ask for your password - enter it then-) sudo root:admin / After a dozen attempts indifferent ways - found this and worked the first time.

Meet D.J. Mostert
D.J. and his family moved to Williams Lake from South Africa. "My wife is a physician," explained D.J., "and we moved here for work." They knew they wanted to live in BC and also knew they didn't want to go too far north. They pointed a finger on a map and came to Williams Lake. "We don't regret it at all," said D.J., "we love the location and the community." D.J. also notes that Williams Lake is small enough you can really get to know the people that live there.
He likes to spend time with his family and to get outside and be active. "I like the outdoors, and that everything is five minutes away," said D.J. He enjoys mountain biking, how the surrounding landscape has such varied scenery and highly recommends the Alpine Fox Mountain trails and the South Lakeside as well.
D.J. always wanted to work for himself and opened dj designs in 2007. As an entrepreneur, D.J. enjoys being free to develop new products and create unique and beautiful things for his clients. His industrial, vintage works are functional and attractive. D.J. enjoys operating a business in Williams Lake and appreciates being able to "live, love, create."
Creative. Unique. Trendy.
dj designs produces limited and custom designs, furniture, artwork, re-purpose items and restorations. D.J. began design work in 2007 and successfully grew his business and his reputation for high-quality, one-of-a-kind, functional and attractive pieces.
In 2015, D.J. transitioned into full-time design work. "I basically do custom, one-of-a-kind designs for people," explained D.J. His work is industrial, steam punk and rustic. He enjoys the creative challenge in adapting a vintage item and re-purposing it to make something that is new, attractive and different. With an ever growing portfolio of cool projects, D.J. excels at creating beautiful and functional pieces. His re-purposed projects include vintage car couches and Bluetooth capable retro radios.

This blog article is taken from our book [1].
In most entry-level materials on pairs trading such as in [2], a mean reverting basket is usually constructed by this relationship:
, where is the price of asset at time t, the price of asset at time t, and the price of the mean reverting asset to trade. One way to find is to use cointegration. There are numerous problems in this approach as detailed in [1]. To mention a few: the identified portfolios are dense; executions involve considerable transaction costs; the resultant portfolios behave like insignificant and non-tradable noise; cointegration is too stringent and often unnecessary a requirement to satisfy.
This article highlights one important problem: it is much better to work in the space of (log) returns than in the space of prices. Therefore, we would like to build a mean reverting portfolio using a similar relationship to (eq. 1) but in returns rather than in prices.
The Benefits of Using Log Returns
When we compare the prices of two assets, [… TODO …]
A Model for a Mean Reverting Synthetic Asset
Let's assume prices are log-normally distributed, which is a popular assumption in quantitative finance, esp. in options pricing. Then, prices are always positive, satisfying the condition of "limited liability" of stocks. The upside is unlimited and may go to infinity. [5] We have:
is the return for asset between times 0 and t; likewise for asset .
Instead of applying a relationship, e.g., cointegration (possible but not a very good way), to the pair on prices, we can do it on returns. This is possible because, just like prices, the returns at time t are simply random walks, hence series. We have (dropping the time subscript):
Of course, the is a different coefficient; the a different white noise.
Remove the Common Risk Factors
Let's consider this scenario. Suppose the oil price suddenly drops by half (as is developing in the current market). Exxon Mobile (XOM), being an oil company, follows suit. American Airlines (AAL), on the other hand, can save cost on fuel and may rise. The naive (eq. 3) will show a big disequilibrium and signal a trade on the pair. However, this disequilibrium is spurious. Both XOM and AAL are simply reacting to the new market/oil regime and adjust their "fair" prices accordingly. (Eq. 3) fails to account for the common oil factor to both companies. Mean reversion trading should trade only on idiosyncratic risk that are not affected by systematic risks.
To improve upon (eq. 3), we need to remove systematic risks or common risk factors from the equation. Let's consider CAPM. It says:
The asset return, , and , are normally distributed random variables. The average market return, , and the risk free rate, , are constants.
Substituting (eq. 4) into the L.H.S. of (eq. 3) and grouping some constants, we have:
To simply things:
where is a constant.
(Eq. 5) removes the market/oil effect from the pair. When the market simply reaches a new regime, our pair should not change its value. In general, for multiple n asset, we have:
For multiple n asset, multiple m common risk factors, we have:
Trade on Dollar Values
It is easy to see that if we use (eq. 1) to trade the pair, to long (short) , we buy (sell) 1 share of and sell (long) share of . How do we trade using (eqs. 3, 5, 6, 7)? When we work in the log-return space, we trade for each stock, , the number of shares worth of . That is, we trade for each stock number of shares, where is the current price of stock .
Let's rewrite (eq. 3) in the price space.
The R.H.S. is
Using the relationship , we have
Dropping the constant, we have:
That is, we buy shares of at price and shares of at price . We can easily extend (eq. 8) to account for the general cases: we trade for each stock number of shares.

World U18 leader Breyton Poole produced one of the most captivating displays of the championships to win the high jump title in Nairobi, the 1.72m tall jumper improving on his personal best three times.
Poole did not have a very good start as he found himself behind on countback for much of the competition, but in the end he asserted his dominance, clearing a height 10 centimetres above anyone else to achieve the biggest winning margin in the history of the championships.
In a high-quality competition with the top six all setting personal bests, Chima Ihenetu of Germany was the runner-up with 2.14m, while Vladyslav Lavskyy of Ukraine took the bronze on countback with 2.11m.
Ihenetu cleared the 2.11m, a personal best by three centimetres, on his second attempt to find himself in third. Poland's Piotr Sztandur and Shaun Miller of The Bahamas were in fourth and fifth after third-time clearances.
Of all entrants in the competition, none besides Poole had previously cleared higher than 2.10m. It thus came as a major surprise when five of the seven jumpers attacking 2.11m cleared the height.
Lavskyy, who entered the competition with a personal best of just 2.06m, was the leader of the competition at this point, the only jumper with a clean slate after taking his best to 2.07m and then 2.11m. Poole also cleared 2.11m on his first attempt, but had previously had a failure at 2.02m.
The next height of 2.14m proved too much for three of the five. Poole, unsurprisingly, went over the bar on his first jump, but just a couple of minutes later so did Ihenetu, now going six centimetres above his previous career best. The two were now tied for the lead, as Lavskyy was assured of getting the bronze.
The competition was effectively decided at 2.16m. The South African needed two attempts this time, but he did clear, while the German took just one jump before passing to 2.18m.
That height proved too much for Ihenetu. His rival watched from the sidelines as the German took the remaining two jumps without getting close to clearing the bar.
The title was now decided. But it was far from over. Poole ordered the bar be raised to 2.20m and once again cleared that on the second try. Then came a first-time clearance at 2.22m. And after that, the bar was raised by another two centimetres.
Poole would have been justified in feeling tired by now, but he did not give up. He failed twice, but then sailed over the bar on what was his 14th jump of the competition.
It was not until 2.27m, a height that would have equalled the championship record, that he had to bow out with three failed attempts.
Breyton is the second South African to win the world U18 title in the event, following in the footsteps of Jacques Freitag, the winner of the inaugural edition of the championships in 1999, who went on to take the world senior title in 2003.

I was on a 'making and doing' roll, but I suddenly came down with the lurgy. I had to cancel my work trip to London, and me and the tot were at home, ill and watching Toy Story over and over. I actually started to think about some very deep physiological messages in those films...about imagination and freedom to have ideas and not be stuck within the bounds of rules. All the characters are different and have different skills and abilities which together enable them to defy all odds stacked against them. Deep, so so deep. ...I have watched too much telly.
Anyways, besides that I have mainly been looking at daffodils.
And admiring our oars that my mister put up as a stair rail.
and our new sofa that we bought from Tesco (it's even made in the UK would you believe). Now we have a sofa each for maximum horizontal relaxation ; )

Almost two years after Suzanne Collins first burst onto bestseller lists with her dystopian young-adult thriller in which 24 children are dressed up in costumes and forced to compete to the death before a television audience, the final act of the "Hunger Games" trilogy is upon us. One minute after midnight Monday, "Mockingjay" will finally be available to readers, bringing a wrenching conclusion to the tale of a country in chaos and the 17-year-old protagonist who caused it.
Fans aren't likely to be disappointed.
Difficult as it would seem to top the ingenuity and action-packed, edge-of-your-seat storyline of "The Hunger Games," or the continued, in-the-ring thrill ride of its follow-up, "Catching Fire," "Mockingjay" leaves the government's kid-on-kid hunting grounds and heads into the destitute reality of the districts, which have come under heavy fire from the Capitol for rising up against its superficial and oppressive leadership.
Opening with the dreary aftermath of "Catching Fire's" concluding line, "Mockingjay" begins with Katniss Everdeen wandering through the wreckage of her district 12 hometown, tripping over skulls and breathing in the ashes of the incinerated bodies that used to be her neighbors. More than 90% of those neighbors are dead; the rest have been relocated to district 13, an area that was thought to be abandoned but is very much alive. Forced underground 75 years earlier in an era known as the Dark Days — an era that led to the annual children's bloodletting known as the Hunger Games — district 13's residents have spurred the present uprising, and they're looking to Katniss to rile up the rest of the districts and overthrow the pale-skinned President Snow, who's made no secret of his dislike for Katniss and her rebellious unpredictability.
