Huckabee: "From Hope To Higher Ground"
The man who was actually born in Hope, Arkansas, not "near" Hope, Arkansas, formally told America yesterday that he is a candidate for the presidency of the United States.
He told the country that he believes he can bring "the kind of change that truly can get America from hope to higher ground."
Huckabee, as with several other GOP candidates, understands the moral depth to which our nation has fallen, and that until the moral issues are addressed, we will merely continue to chase the hollow, ever elusive "hope and change" promised by those who lack spiritual understanding.
What Associated Press is not reporting is that Huckabee is warning Christians and Christian pastors that if the Supreme Court rules in June that so-called gay "marriage" is a "civil right" protected by the US Constitution, "pastors who refuse to perform same-sex weddings will be breaking the law" just as florists, bakers, photographers and other biblical Christians are now being charged with doing.
Huckabee is suggesting a better way, one in which we press on the upward way, gaining new heights every day.
The Associated Press characterized Huckabee's message as "anti-Clinton"---"pitching himself," they wrote, "as the best Republican to take on Bill's wife..."
That statement may be true, but it more clearly reveals the ignorance or bias of Bill Barrow who wrote the piece for AP than the actual message of Huckabee.
What AP is not reporting is that Huckabee's concept of leading America from "hope to higher ground" suggests to 100 million or more evangelicals and conservative Christians, whom AP says he must have to win the nomination, has more to do with restoring America than merely "beating Bill's wife," although that will be a necessary step.
In a recent conversation with Tony Perkins, head of Family Research Council, Huckabee responded to Perkins, noting that "in the wake of this redefinition of marriage is a direct assault on religious freedom--- the very ability to preach the gospel is at stake."
In response, Huckabee said, "It very much is. And let me be very practical in how it plays out if something doesn't change. If the courts rule that people have a civil right---not only to be a homosexual but a civil right to have a homosexual marriage---then a homosexual couple coming to a pastor who believes in Biblical marriage and says, 'I can't perform that wedding,' will now be breaking the law."
"That is more than a direct assault just on religious liberty," Huckabee said. "It doesn't just say you can't do something," he noted. "It says that if you do practice Biblical convictions and you carry them out, and you do what the Spirit of God has led you to do, your behavior will be criminal."
Huckabee said he is concerned when he hears pastors say they don't want to get involved in "politics."
He said, "My response is 'Brother you're already involved. You just don't realize it yet. You're involved'."
Regardless of how the Court rules in June, this and other similar issues will not evaporate because they are inherently rooted in sin and rebellion toward God Himself.
The only hope America has is in pressing on to higher ground.
While Huckabee has likely articulated it best, there are other candidates who also understand the solution to America's problems.
Ted Cruze, Dr. Ben Carson, perhaps Rand Paul, perhaps Marco Rubio, although he is now claiming "gays are born that way," certainly Mike Huckabee---and should they run, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal all understand that America needs a spiritual restoration to bring about a political restoration.
Johnson Oatman, Jr. wrote the lyrics to what we know as the hymn "Higher Ground."
Johnson, Jr. grew up in a Christian home---in church every Sunday. As a kid he would stand on the pew so he could read from his father's hymn book while singing the hymns.
Johnson always had a desire to serve God and was actually ordained, but found his ministry, not in the pulpit, but as a Christian songwriter, while a successful business man working with his father in the family law firm Johnson Oatman & Son.
He wrote hundreds of hymns, many still sung---or at least remembered by Christians across America.
In 1898 he wrote perhaps the most well known of all his hymns. "Higher Ground."
Remember these words?
I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining every day;
Still praying as I'm onward bound,
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven's tableland,
A higher plane than I have found;
My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
I want to live above the world,
Though Satan's darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I'll pray till heav'n I've found,
Join me live on the radio today at 9 AM PDT or rebroadcast at 7:30 PM PDT. We're talking about discerning God's will. Here's how to join us from anywhere in the world.
Be Inspired. Be Informed. Be Proactive. Be Prayerful. Be Blessed.

This should be the main subject of every presidential candidate's campaign, for the gay agenda is a direct assault on the constitution.
How could a candidate not be concerned and then if elected, go on to take the oath? Well, he could. It's happened, but it isn't right. It's time for people like this.
If America can do it, there will be a bright gleam of glory bright at the top.
It's time for something new. We have to keep going higher no matter how dark it is. The kind of day we're looking for won't just come by doing nothing. America could find itself so deep in a dark valley that it would barely get much light at all. This has to change. I thank God for giving America both hope and higher ground.
Anonymous 8:42 PM, May 06, 2015
This time of political insanity where the constitution is in jeopardy of becoming something of organized hypocrisy, something being turned against itself by political pro activists and wayward judges, comes as a result of people descending into a dark valley of humanism as a way of life, of secular progressivism, because they turned against the upward way.
No, it's all uphill from here, and there has got to be a brighter day.

Kick it Out Education Session
Youth team enjoy special Kick it Out education session.
Morecambe's youth team are the latest group of young players to take part in League Football Education's (LFE) Life Skills programme during the 2016-17 season.
Each season LFE, provides around 160 sessions via partner organisations to enhance and complement the Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence programme, that operates across English Football League clubs.
The sessions which are designed to help players maximise their potential as footballers and more importantly develop general life skills, cover a number of distinct areas.
These include financial management, emotional well-being, preventative and lifestyle education in areas like gambling, alcohol and drugs, social media training and diversity.
Morecambe's Under-18s recently tackled a workshop led by Kick It Out's, Education and Development Manager, Troy Townsend and former Charlton Athletic and Aston Villa striker Paul Mortimer.
The players worked through current issues including discrimination and stereotypes and engaged in an open debate on topics like homophobia, sexism and racism, to develop their knowledge and understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion.
Current first year apprentice, Nathan Dutton-Kay, said:
"It was good, it was challenging and you really had to think about every issue. You find yourself thinking about how you're treating other people and if your words could affect others negatively.
"You might use a term flippantly or innocently but that might be offensive to others so you have to think about what you're doing, saying and how you're presenting yourself.
"It helps you to understand how language and stereotypes can affect others and raises awareness of equality issues in the game."
LFE chief executive Alan Sykes, added:
"Our Life Skills programme enhances the academic curriculum that all players follow and we believe that it helps clubs holistically develop their players.
"Some may go on to be footballers, others may not but either way we want to ensure that all our apprentices are well prepared for future life challenges."

MIAMI (AP) - Hurricane Dalila continues to move slowly away from Mexico's Pacific coast and is expected to weaken again.
The storm Tuesday had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph). The storm is centered about 195 miles (314 kilometers) west-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, and is inching toward the west-northwest.
The government of Mexico has issued no storm warnings or watches for the coast.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said swells generated by Dalila are affecting portions of the southwest coast of Mexico.
The biggest danger is heavy surf and rip currents.

Thyspunt, where government is planning on building the first nuclear power plant since Koeberg.
Johannesburg - Anti-nuclear pressure group the Thyspunt Alliance has welcomed Eskom's decision to build its proposed new nuclear reactor at Duynefontein, near Koeberg in Cape Town, instead of the originally preferred site at St Francis Bay, about 70km from Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape.
The alliance of 10 organisations comprises environmentalists, civic bodies and cultural activists.
This week, Eskom announced that the department of environmental affairs had granted it permission to proceed with its new nuclear installation at Duynefontein rather than Thyspunt.
Thyspunt Alliance coordinator Trudie Malan told City Press: "We are very happy. For us, it was just a wrong choice. Eskom and the environmental affairs department looked at our input and we think they made a fair decision.

Hitchhiking is a controversial activity. Some see it as the perfect opportunity for adventure; others think of it as an easy way to wind up in a ditch without their kidneys. If you're from the second school of thought, you probably won't like the following stories of girls hitchhiking in Sicily. Why? Because we survived and thrived, without any dodgy situations or blood spilled. If you read on, you might find your beliefs shattered!
On the other hand, if you plan to hitchhike in Sicily you're in for a few helpful hints!
As two girls, we weren't planning to hitchhike in Sicily. Of course, we hadn't taken into consideration the fact that in Italy, the term "national holiday" usually means "no trains"*. If you don't have a car but you have an overwhelming desire to get from the town of Noto to Modica – the chocolate capital of Sicily – your fate is predestined and you'll soon find yourself by the roadside.
* "No trains" is a collective term for "no trains, no buses, and nowhere to even rent a motorbike".
Sicily has just a few major roads, and many of the island's towns are connected only by a spiderweb of secondary roads. That means instead of straight stretches, you'll probably have to hitchhike in sections. We were standing by the road, the epitome of perfect hitchhikers (wide smiles, freshly showered etc.), and every fifth car stopped, but unfortunately nobody was going to our destination (only 25 miles away). Some cars even broke traffic rules to come and see if they could help. Others offered to take us to other destinations, but there's not much you can say to take a woman's mind off chocolate!
At the end of the day, hitchhiking is all about luck. After 30 minutes baking in the sun, we finally decided that we would swim naked in chocolate fountains some other time. Instead, we decided to head for the beach 6 miles away and swim there, rather than spending the day by the road.
Two lads – local lemon farmers – picked us up and drove us to the beach. They went out of their way to take us there, even though it was a work day for them and they were heading to the plantation. One of them was happy to socialize (Why are you in Sicily? Why do you hitchhike? Where do you sleep? Don't you want me to host you – I have soooo much space and my mamma will cook a feast for you…). At the last offer my friend dialed the number of the police on her phone and prepared to call it if necessary. No, we have a hotel room and no, we don't know if we'll be free tonight. Although the guys tried their chances, they weren't disrespectful or intimidating in any way. When we reached the coast they still offered to come and pick us up from the beach in the afternoon, seeing as there were no buses or taxis to take us home. We thanked them politely and got out of the car. But, of course, we told the boys to thank their hospitable mothers for their generous offers!

"The Little Rascals-The ClassicFlix Restorations, Vol. 1" Blu-ray Review
Marshall Fish
Marshall Fish has written clues for Jeopardy!'s J!6 website as well as trivia questions for Hasbro, Screenlife Games, and more.
Courtesy of ClassicFlix
Nearly a century ago, a group of kid actors were brought together by American film producer and director Hal Roach. Known as Our Gang, generations of movie and TV viewers would be more familiar with them under the name The Little Rascals.
In 2020, ClassicFlix, a home video label that focuses on restoring and releasing long neglected classic movies on Blu-ray and DVD, licensed all 80 Roach produced Rascals shorts. The goal was to create the best looking and sounding Little Rascals films for the home market. The result is the first in a series, The Little Rascals-The Classic Restorations, Vol. 1.
Several labels have released The Little Rascals films on DVD over the years, including Cabin Fever, Hallmark, RHI/Genius Products, and Vivendi. But, other than public domain releases, this is the first major Rascals Blu-ray collection.
ClassicFlix's Work
ClassicFlix has done an outstanding job with the film restorations. In seven of the 11 Rascals movies included in this disc, the original nitrate film elements were used as a scanning source. The fact that the films, all from 1929 and 1930, have been scanned for Blu-ray is a major plus in terms of digital preservation, as nitrate film is fragile and highly flammable. For three of the shorts, acetate based safety film was used. One combined safety and nitrate film sources.
A comparison of the pre and post restoration of a few of the films are included as a special feature. At the beginning of ClassicFlix's work, the film prints appeared to be in poor condition. Lots of scratches were visible in the picture of Bear Shooters. Small Talk, the first Little Rascals sound short, had streaks in the frame and a dark picture. Bouncing Babies had both scratches and streaks in the image. The scratches were so abundant, they almost made for a rain-type effect. With ClassicFlix's restorations, the images are now sharp, the darkness is gone, and the picture is steady.
"Bear Shooters" Restoration Comparison
The initial six Little Rascals films included here were produced just two years following Hollywood's first sound feature with dialogue, The Jazz Singer. In fact, a couple of shorts in the Blu-ray, Small Talk and Railroadin', are billed in their title screens as "Hal Roach presents His Rascals' Voices." The familiar theme song, "Good Old Days," wasn't used until their 13th movie, Teacher's Pet. Thus, the audio in many of the films is primitive, and there are sequences in which there's silence. It's especially noticeable during the Joe (Joe Cobb) versus Chubby (Norman Chaney) bout in Boxing Gloves, in which the crowd is shown cheering but nothing is heard.
In Lazy Days, an empty baby carriage that Farina (Allen "Sonny" Hoskins) was previously using for his infant brother, breaks apart. The wheels and frame fall off and hit the ground. Initially, you hear a clicking noise, but when the buggy does go down and comes undone, it's just quiet. These missing audio moments changed as more Rascals films were completed.
One inventive audio sequence is from a running gag in Bouncing Babies. Wheezer (Bobby Hutchins) keeps throwing a light bulb into the street so he can cross an extremely busy intersection. The cars then all stop, with the drivers checking their car tires to make sure they're not flat. This allows Wheezer and Pete the Pup to safely make their way past the vehicles. So, we get to hear the glass of the bulb breaking, the screeching brakes, and even Pete's barking as the routine is repeated four times.
"Bouncing Babies" Restoration Comparison
A portion of the Rascals appeal is the fact that they appeared so natural on camera. You believe that Wheezer really doesn't like his new baby brother receiving more attention than him in Bouncing Babies. Trading the baby for a goat, as Wheezer wants to do in the movie, is another story. Jackie (Jackie Cooper)'s facial expressions look like he's actually feeling down in the dumps in the early section of The First Seven Years. "Gee, I wish I had a wife. All the kids has got one" he tells Officer Kennedy (Edgar Kennedy), Kennedy's advice is for the boy to act like a caveman. That plan doesn't work, as Jackie's crush, Mary Ann (Mary Ann Jackson), ends up pummeling him!
"Moan & Groan, Inc."
Edgar Kennedy and The Little Rascals
Some people have voiced concerns over the years regarding the racial depictions in the Little Rascals comedies. But, author Richard Lewis Ward, in his 2005 book A History of the Hal Roach Studios, viewed the films from a different angle. Ward explained, " For the most part, the idea of black kids playing with white kids, going to the same school in the same classroom with white kids, was something that wasn't seen much in American society in the 1920's and 30's. And so the films were quite revolutionary."
One Rascals movie does feature comic actor Stepin Fetchit (Lincoln Perry) whose routines definitely have been considered controversial. A Tough Winter, the final short on the disc, was basically a pilot for his own series of shorts for the Roach Studios. But, the project never came to fruition. Fetchit's slow speech delivery and billing as "The World's Laziest Man" was all part of a character he was playing,. It's said that Fetchit became the first Black actor to earn a million dollars and receive screen credit. But that didn't lessen the feelings about the character.
The Blu-ray disc has an aspect ratio of 1:37:1 with a 1080p resolution. Total running time is 223 minutes. Subtitles are in English only for this Region A Blu-ray release. The disc is housed in a clear Blu-ray case, with the plot line of each film listed inside. No booklet is included.
The disc itself begins with the trailer for Zenobia, a 1939 Roach Studios film starring Oliver Hardy (minus Stan Laurel) and Harry Langdon. The movie's also part of the ClassicFlix catalog. The only other bonus feature is the aforementioned comparison between the films before and after the restorations.
When you select an individual short from the main menu, a brief intro from Small Talk and the Blu-ray's title appear each time before the movie starts. By choosing Play All, the intro is shown just once to begin the disc.
If you're looking for the best quality early Little Rascals sound films on Blu-ray, your search is over. The Little Rascals:The ClassicFlix Restorations, Volume 1 is the clear choice. Recommended.

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) continues to be a frequent and potentially severe infection. There is currently no validated clinical tool for use at the time of CDI diagnosis to categorize patients in order to predict response to therapy.
Six clinical and laboratory variables, measured at the time of CDI diagnosis, were combined in order to assess their correlation with treatment response in a large CDI clinical trial database (derivation cohort). The final categorization scheme was chosen in order to maximize the number of categories (discrimination) while maintaining a high correlation with clinical cure assessed two days after the end of therapy. Validation of the derived scoring scheme was done on a second large CDI clinical trial database (validation cohort). A third comparison was done on the two pooled databases (pooled cohort).
In the derivation cohort, the best discrimination and correlation with cure was seen with a five-component ATLAS score (age, treatment with systemic antibiotics, leukocyte count, albumin and serum creatinine as a measure of renal function), which divided CDI patients into 11 groups (scores of 0 to 10 inclusive) and was highly correlated with treatment outcome (R2=0.95; P<0.001). This scheme showed excellent prediction of cure in the validation cohort (overall Kappa=95.2%; P<0.0001), as well as in the pooled cohort, regardless of treatment (fidaxomicin or vancomycin).
A combination of five simple and commonly available clinical and laboratory variables measured at the time of CDI diagnosis, combined into a scoring system (ATLAS), are able to accurately predict treatment response to CDI therapy. The ATLAS scoring system may be useful in stratifying CDI patients so that appropriate therapies can be chosen to maximize cure rates, as well as for categorization of patients in CDI therapeutic studies in order allow comparisons of patient groups.
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has emerged during the last decade as a serious and increasingly common healthcare-associated infection . The emergence of hypervirulent strains has resulted in elevated rates of CDI-related complications (e.g. colectomy, need for intensive care) and increased mortality, especially among the elderly [2, 3]. Newer treatment options, such as novel antibacterials , immune modulators  and immunotherapeutics , have led to a recent expansion in the number of clinical trials involving subjects with this serious infection. Despite more than 3 decades of research involving this condition, a validated "severity scale" has yet to be developed which correlates with treatment response, which is predictive of severe outcomes (i.e. colectomy, need for intensive care, or attributable mortality) or which predicts CDI recurrence. Although several predictive scoring systems and clinical variables have been described in limited CDI populations or case series, none have been validated on large CDI databases [7–16]. While the choice of therapy for malignant neoplasms and subjects with sepsis is often based on validated criteria which consist of both patient and disease-related variables in order to maximize treatment response [17, 18], no such validated scheme exists for CDI. The absence of such a categorization system means that the choice of therapies for a particular patient is often not evidence-based, and clinical trials investigating CDI outcomes may be comparing dissimilar patient populations. Recent guidelines which have put forward "severity categories" for CDI have not validated these categorizations and their correlation with treatment outcome, disease outcome and CDI recurrence are unknown [19, 20]. We have used 2 large clinical therapeutic trials for treating CDI in order to derive and then validate a categorization system to discriminate among CDI patients and correlate the grouping with treatment response.
Two large databases, which were derived while conducting therapeutic trials that compared fidaxomicin and vancomycin for the treatment of CDI, were used for the present analyses [4, 21]. The clinical and trial details for the two identical CDI therapy studies are described elsewhere . Briefly, 10 days of therapy with either vancomycin or fidaxomicin was administered to CDI patients. The first trial ("003") enrolled patients in the United States and Canada; the second trial ("004") enrolled patients in those two countries as well as in Europe. The response to treatment was assessed two days following the last day of therapy. Patients considered as a "cure" were then followed for an additional 28 days to evaluate them for a CDI recurrence. This present analyses used all patients included in each of the respective trials if they had a confirmed diagnosis of CDI and received at least 1 dose of study medication ("modified intent to treat" group; mITT). Since the vancomycin and fidaxomicin arms had nearly identical cure rates , all patients in each study were combined into a single group regardless of the therapy they were randomized to receive. The mITT group of patients consisted of 596 individuals in the 003 study, 509 individuals in the 004 study, and a total of 1105 subjects in both combined studies. All subjects in both studies gave informed consent which also allowed for secondary analyses of the databases such as in the present investigation. No additional form of ethical approval was required to do this subgroup risk analysis, as the original ethical approval for the trial covered such analyses. The study sponsor permitted the authors to access the trial data for this analysis; the dataset used was preexisting, de-identified and required no further collection of data from patients.
The six clinical and laboratory parameters used in the analyses were chosen for their ready availability, their ease of calculation, prior correlation with CDI outcome in case series [7–16], and the fact that they had been collected and were available in the two CDI clinical trials of interest. The six parameters, measured on the day of entry into the study (i.e. within 48 hours of a positive C. difficile toxin assay) were: age (in years) [Ag], treatment with systemic antibiotics (which occurred on one or more days of CDI therapy) [Tr], temperature (in degrees Celsius) [Te], total leukocyte count [L], serum albumin [Al], and serum creatinine as a measure of renal function [S]. A logistic regression model was created using "cure" as the dependant variable and the six clinical/lab parameters as the independent variables. Due to high co-correlation of some of the six independent variables (i.e. age, albumin and serum creatinine showing high Pearson correlation coefficients), it was decided instead to use these indices in a clinical score. Scores of 0, 1 or 2 were assigned to each parameter value, based on their relative importance as seen in previously published analyses (Table 1). All possible combinations of these six parameters were assessed for their correlation with cure at end of therapy. Correlation was assessed using linear regression, with a forced value of 100 on the y axis for a score of 0 on the x axis, in order to make the ensuing regression formula clinically meaningful. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS software.
During the first step of this analysis, the derivation process, the 003 trial database was used to test the combinations for their correlation with treatment response.
If multiple combinations met the above 2 conditions, the combination consisting of the largest number of variables was considered as the optimal combination, since this scheme would be able to categorize the patients into the largest number of distinct groups (i.e. highest discriminative ability and category utility) .
During the second step of this analysis, the validation process, the predicted cure rate from the optimum combination chosen in step one (using the derived regression formula) was compared to the actual CDI cure rate as seen in the 004 clinical trial database. This was done by means of Kappa statistics of the cure rate for each score category.
During a final step of this analysis, the two clinical studies (003 and 004) were pooled and the optimum combination which had been derived in the first step was used to compare the predicted and actual cure rates for this entire cohort, again using a Chi-Square analysis for each score group.
Step 1. Derivation of the optimal categorization scoring system.
All combinations meeting the pre-set "acceptable" criteria (R2 ≥ 0.9 and P ≤ 0.01) are marked with an asterisk (*), and the single combination among this latter group which was composed of the largest number of variables is marked with a double asterisk (**) as the optimal scoring system.
Ag = age; Tr = treatment with systemic antibiotics; Te = temperature; L = leukocyte count (total); Al = serum albumin; S = serum creatinine as a measure of renal function.
Of these 12 candidate combinations, the most discriminating (containing the largest number of variables and thereby separating the patients into the largest number of unique groups) was the combination of age (Ag), treatment with systemic antibiotics (Tr), leukocyte count (L), serum albumin (Al) and serum creatinine as a measure of renal function (S) (abbreviated herewith as ATLAS). The ATLAS combination produced a scoring system which was able to place the CDI patients into 11 unique categories (scores 0 to 10, inclusive) and this correlated with treatment cure with an R-squared value of 0.95 and a highly significant P value of < 0.001. The regression equation for this correlation was shown to be: cure rate = 100 – [5.08 × (ATLAS score)]. The receiver operating characteristics of the ATLAS score for predicting treatment cure are shown in Figure 1 (area under the curve was calculated to be 0.71).
Step 2. Validation of the categorization system from step 1.
Receiver operating characteristics of the ATLAS score for predicting treatment cure (area under the curve = 0.71).
The actual cure rates and the predicted cure rates (derived from the regression equation calculated in step 1) for each of the ATLAS categories of the CDI patients in the mITT population of the 004 clinical trial are seen in Table 3.
CDI patients categorized by the ATLAS scoring system, using the regression formula* derived from the ATLAS system applied to the 003 clinical trial. Testing the reliability of the predicted cure rate compared to the actual cure rate among individual ATLAS groups and for the entire population was done using Kappa statistics.
* Predicted cure rate = 100–5.08 x (ATLAS score).
nc : number of subjects cured in the category.
nT : total number of subjects in the category.
§nc values for the predicted column were rounded to the nearest whole number.
N/A: not applicable NS: not significant.
The ATLAS categorization scheme was able to very closely (overall Kappa=95.2%; P<0.0001) predict the actual cure rate for these patients in every score category.
Step 3. Capacity of the ATLAS score to predict cure for the pooled CDI patient databases, and by treatment allocation.
In order to assess how the ATLAS scoring system would perform when all patients in both trials were placed into a single database, this categorization scheme was used to compare the predicted cure rates and the actual cure rates for all mITT patients, as well as for the two sub-groups of patients as determined by treatment allocation (i.e. fidaxomicin or vancomycin). The results of these analyses can be seen in Table 4. Again, excellent predictive ability of the ATLAS system is seen for the entire database and for each of the two assigned treatment groups.
CDI patients categorized by the ATLAS scoring system, using the regression formula* derived from the ATLAS system applied to the 003 clinical trial.
nc: number of subjects cured in the category nT : total number of subjects in the category N/A: not applicable.
nc values for the predicted column were rounded to the nearest whole number.
The current classifications of "mild", "moderate", "severe", and "fulminant" CDI are unvalidated, subjective, and have not yet been shown to be clinically useful. An easy to use, objective, clinically relevant and validated system of categorizing CDI patients is needed in order to choose among the growing number of available therapies, to decide which patients might benefit from adjunctive therapies, to facilitate communication among healthcare providers, to prognosticate the outcome of therapy, and to categorize patients for CDI intervention trials.
Two large CDI clinical trial databases, the fidaxomicin/vancomycin comparative trials, were used to derive and then to validate a CDI patient categorization scheme which could predict cure at the end of therapy. This derived scoring system, the ATLAS score, was able to categorize CDI patients into 11 distinct categories and was able to predict clinical cure with a high degree of accuracy.
Several issues concerning these analyses should be mentioned. Firstly, the two databases used for the analyses were phase 3 clinical trials, which excluded extremely ill CDI patients. As per the study protocol, patients were excluded if they had "life-threatening or fulminant CDAD" (WBC >30 × 109/L; temperature >40°C or evidence of hypotension and septic shock, peritoneal signs or significant dehydration), toxic megacolon, or were likely to die within 72 hours of study enrollment . Therefore, there is an under-representation of CDI patients in the upper extremes of the score values. The distribution of patients, by ATLAS score, in the two clinical trial databases (Figure 2) may not represent all CDI patient populations in all healthcare systems. For instance, CDI patients in a specialty medical unit (e.g. transplant unit) or who manifest CDI while in an intensive care unit (ICU) may not conform to the prediction scheme, even though immunocompromised patients and ICU patients were enrolled into the two analyzed studies, if they were otherwise eligible. Secondly, other clinical or laboratory variables measured at the time of CDI diagnosis but not included in this analysis, may also aid in the predictive model of clinical cure. However, we chose clinical variables which have been repeatedly demonstrated to be correlated with disease outcome. Inclusion of the infecting strain type (i.e. NAP1/027/BI) into the categorization scheme might increase the predictive ability, since infections with this strain have been shown to increase the chance of poor outcomes from CDI . However, at the present time, typing of the infecting strain is not widely available, and other non-NAP1/027/BI hyper-virulent strain types have already been described and may continue to emerge in the future .
Distribution of CDI patients in the two clinical trials (003 and 004), by ATLAS score. The number of mITT patients in each of the groups who have available values for all analyzed variables: study 003 (n=515), study 004 (n=452), combined studies (n=967).
Thirdly, a different use of the clinical variables with other weighting schemes, might give a more accurate predictive model. The variations in factor weighting and combinations are virtually limitless, and multivariate regression analysis was not helpful in determining the weighting scheme, since many of the factors highly predictive of outcome (i.e. albumin, age, serum creatinine) are very highly correlated with each other and negated each other in the multivariate models. Fourthly, it should be noted that only clinical cure was assessed in these analyses. We did a preliminary analysis investigating the capacity of this scoring system to predict CDI recurrence at 28 days post-therapy, and the five-component ATLAS score performed poorly in this regard. Other combinations performed better for predicting CDI recurrence, and those analyses will be undertaken at a later time. Lastly, this scoring system worked well in predicting response to both fidaxomicin and to vancomycin. Since no patients received metronidazole in these 2 clinical studies, it remains unknown how the ATLAS score would perform in predicting cure rates with this agent. However, the ATLAS categorization of CDI patients may now allow post-hoc comparisons of CDI patients treated with vancomycin and metronidazole in other databases in order to examine if there is truly a difference in outcome with these two agents in sub-groups of patients with specific scores.
In conclusion, a combination of five simple clinical and laboratory variables measured at the time of CDI diagnosis, combined into an 11-category scoring system (ATLAS), seems to be able to accurately predict treatment response to CDI therapy by either vancomycin or fidaxomicin. The ATLAS scoring system may be useful to stratify CDI patients in order to prospectively evaluate and compare CDI therapies among patient categories, to choose therapies for patient sub-groups to maximize cure rates, to categorize patients in different CDI therapeutic studies in order to allow between-study comparisons of patient groups, and to stratify patients upon entry into CDI therapeutic trials.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all of the site investigators, the site research personnel, and the patients themselves who participated in the two large clinical trials comparing fidaxomicin and vancomycin, from which this extensive and rich database has arisen.

Over time this discrepancy would cause the official calendar to be out of sync with various celestial events such as the equinoxes and solstices. To rectify this, a series of leap years were added into the calendar. On a leap year an extra day is added to the end of February, February 29th. According to the Gregorian calendar, leap years occur in every year divisible by 4, execept those that are divisible by 100 but not 400. So 1900 was not a leap year, but the year 1996 was a leap year and 2000 will be. These leap years keep the calendar is sync with the solar year to an accuracy of about 1 day in 2500 years.
Before the Gregorian calendar, the Julian calendar had been in use since it was instituted by Julius Ceasar around 45 BC. The principle difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars is the frequency of leap years. Under the Julian system, every fourth year is a leap year. This causes an error of about 1 day every 128 years. When the Gregorian calendar was begun in 1582, this error had accumulated to 10 days. Hence, the last day of the Julian calendar, October 4, 1582 AD, was followed the next day by the first day of the Gregorian calendar, October 15, to rectify this error. Of course, it is possible to extrapolate the Julian calendar forward and the Gregorian calendar backward, to find a correspondence for days on either calendar, as the above converter does.
The traditional Chinese agricultural calendar is primarily lunar, in that the lunar cycle (a lunation) between new moons is a principle part of the calendar. This cycle averages 29.53 days, but can vary by several hours for any given time of the year. A Chinese year normally consists of 12 months where a month corresponds to one lunar cycle. Each month starts on the day of the new moon. Since the cycle is not an even number of days, a month in the lunar calendar can vary between 29 and 30 days and a normal year can be 353, 354, or 355 days.
To explain the basis for determining when leap months are added, one must first understand the Chinese system of solar terms. 24 dates, made up of 12 principle terms and 12 sectional terms, divide the solar year into 24 periods that are based on the earth's position around the sun. These include the equinoxes and the solstices. According to the Chinese calendar, the winter solstice must occur in month 11 of the year. A lunar month in which a principle term does not occur becomes a leap (or intercalary) month and is assigned the number of the month that preceded it but is designated as a leap. If this happens to occur twice in one year, only the first month in which it occurs in a leap month. The Chinese new year itself starts on the second new moon after the winter solstice.

"The Art of Cars 3" Book Review
Another year, another Pixar film, another "Art of" book! I have purchased and reviewed every single one of these books from Chronicle Books publishing (they started with Monsters Inc., so I guess we're on number 15?), so needless to say I'm a fan of the series. Let's take a look at what this one, The Art of Cars 3, has in store for us!
First of all, if you're not familiar with this ongoing series of "Art of" books, they're essentially the definitive source for all officially released Pixar concept art and "making of" content. This one is no exception!
From early character/location designs, to color scripts, to storyboards, to deleted scenes...it's all here and more. There's even some fun Cars specific shot blocking/composition "Do's & Don'ts." Not to mention some fantastic insights from the filmmakers themselves (including an excellent foreword by John Lasseter, a personal/meaningful preface by director Brian Fee and a thoughtful introduction by production designers Bill Cone and Jay Shuster). The book closes out with some acknowledgments (special thanks) by the producer of the film, Kevin Reher.
Like usual, the cover art for the sleeve and the sturdy hardcover book itself (with a nice embossed Cars 3 logo in the center) are both beautifully done. It's always exciting to see which concept art image will make it to the cover with each subsequent release.
Inside the book, following the three intros, the contents are organized by the film's three acts: "Act One", "Act Two" and "Act Three" (simple as that). There's even a small section at the end of the book called "Outtakes" featuring some abandoned ideas/art from an earlier version of the film. I love that stuff! I wish the other releases would have opened up to more of the early story stuff (especially The Good Dinosaur), since we know that the film we get in the end is never what was in development at the beginning.
To give you an idea of what you'll find inside, here's a few of the 167 pages! Don't worry, if you haven't seen the film quite yet (what are you waiting for?!), I don't go into any of the spoilers or story points.
I really like how the page below maps out the lay of the land showing where everything in Thomasville is in relationship to each other! I used to do the exact same thing in some of my earlier, feature length films (from when I was a teenager), so I guess was on the right track with my attention to detail even back then.
And I have to give another special note to the pages below because they're some of my favorites: unfold the top two pages to reveal the transition from the normal stock car racers to the next-gen racers! It basically opens up to one big super cool four-fold page.
Well there you go—and that's just a small taste at what you can expect inside. Per usual, this is a really beautiful tribute to the incredibly talented artists who worked so hard at making the film what it is today, yet who too often go unnoticed. Do you have a favorite Pixar artist whose work you look forward to seeing?
If you're a fan of Cars 3 or animation in general, you won't want to miss this one. There are so many details in this book that you really could look through and study it for hours (and I have to say, they really nailed the balance between visuals and behind the scenes text this time around). If you're interested in adding this to your collection, I recommend picking it up at Barnes & Noble or on Amazon using the direct link below.
Look forward to my next "Art of" book review this fall with Coco!

The thoroughly-modern site is being implemented on a "next-generation" content management platform, and incorporates multiple social media streams and extensive use of dynamic content. Prominently featured on the site is high-volume, dynamically-fed social network content from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media conversations.
Quoin has supported the Spanish Agency for Development Corporation (AECID). In this rapid development effort, Quoin built and deployed a web portal that displays the AECID's wide-ranging socioeconomic data in an interactive graphic.
Quoin built a social media site for the 7 Billion Actions campaign to recognize this milestone in world population. The site encouraged individuals to submit their life story - images of who they are and what was most important to them as members of a world community.


This week, Ryan and Dana are pleased to welcome Milwaukee-ite Nathaniel Stern back to the show. We discuss his latest art historical publication, Ecological Aesthetics: artful tactics for humans, nature, and politics. Stern gives our hosts some insight into what he considers Ecological Aesthetics with examples and artists ranging from South African artist Doung Anwar Jahangeer, to the Overpass Light Brigade. Dana gets to say the word marginalia as she tries to discover Ryan's Term Up the Volume. All this and clearly lots more on this episode of Bad at Sports.
On this weeks episode, Dana and Brian nerd out with the impressive and eclectic team behind Chicago New Media 1973-1992, currently on view at Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois, Chicago and presented in partnership with Video Game Art Gallery. Guests Jon Cates, Tiffany Funk, Chaz Evans and Jonathan Kinkley talk us through the major historical moments in Chicago New Media history, including, but definitely not limited to, the midwest origins of Mortal Kombat. Oh, also, we're all wearing costumes.

A blog to debate the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations (BCAR)

Pyrite legal dispute referred to European Court | Independent
A major legal case involving pyrite has been referred to the European Court (link below). The detail of the case is quite complex, however it does illustrate the extent of time (and money) it can take to pursue redress through the courts. Under SI.9 consumers will need 'deep pockets'.
Professionals will also be reading this carefully as it may well impact on professional insurance cover for Pyrite. Many insurance policies currently exclude pyrite. One of the consequences of the new building regulations is that Assigned Certifiers are now responsible for all materials used on a building site (Part D of the regulations). The Construction Products Regulation 2013 is being used as part of the defense and appeal by Irish Asphalt Ltd. Last week the RIAI issued an advice note to members about possible pyrite problems on building sites due to the incorrect specification of hardcore with the implication of liability being on the specifier and not the supplier.
Pyrite was a problem in many developments in the Ballymun Regeneration and throughout North Dublin & Leinster. What's clear from two recent cases this year where 25 new houses had to be demolished is that this problem has not been solved.
See article "Pyrite heave case referred to european court of justice" from 2nd December 2014. Extract:
'Pyrite heave' case referred to European Court of Justice
Irish Asphalt Ltd supplied infill at Ballymun youth centre which has undergone a €1.55 million remediation project
James Elliot Construction had sued Irish Asphalt Ltd over the supply of defective infill material for the construction of a youth centre in Ballymun in 2005. The case has been referred to the European Court of Justice (above).
A legal action over the supply of defective infill material for the construction of a Dublin youth centre has been referred to the European Court of Justice for determination of issues including the merchantable quality of goods.
James Elliot Construction had sued Irish Asphalt Ltd which supplied the rock product for use as foundation in the Ballymun Central Youth Facility in 2005.
Within three years, floors and walls began to crack because of the presence of excess pyrite in the infill and the centre had to undergo a €1.55 million remediation project.
James Elliot Construction brought an action for compensation against Irish Asphalt Ltd claiming "pyrite heave" had caused the damage.
The High Court found the material was not fit for purpose or of merchantable quality under sale and supply of goods legislation and had given rise to pyritic heave.
Irish Asphalt Ltd, in an appeal to the Supreme Court, challenged that decision and maintained, notwithstanding findings of fact by the High Court, it was not liable to James Elliot Construction as a matter of domestic and EU law.
It argued an implied term of the contract as to fitness for purpose of the material had not been breached.
Supreme Court findings
Yesterday, a three-judge Supreme Court found, on the domestic law issues raised, the Irish Asphalt Ltd appeal should be dismissed but such an order was subject to any issue of European law which the court was referring to the European Court of Justice.
The Supreme Court said it was setting aside the High Court finding in relation to whether the material was fit for purpose under the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 but it upheld other findings including that there was a breach of the same legislation in terms of merchantability.
It also rejected Irish Asphalt's contention any liability to James Elliot Construction was limited to the cost of replacement of the infill material.
It also upheld the High Court view that the sulphur content of the infill, which indicates the presence of pyrite and meant the material did not meet the required standard, was supported by the evidence and should not be overturned.
In the Supreme Court decision ordering a referencing of the case to the European Court of Justice, Mr Justice Donal O'Donnell said as a matter of national law James Elliot Construction would be entitled to succeed and Irish Asphalt Ltd's appeal would fail.
However, in light of Irish Asphalt Ltd's contention the High Court conclusions were inconsistent with and precluded by EU law, it had been decided to refer a number of questions on the case to the European Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling or reasoned order.
The questions include whether the interpretation of the national and EU standard in relation to construction products is a matter upon which a preliminary ruling may be sought from the European Court of Justice.
If the answer to that question is yes, the European Court of Justice must then decide whether compliance with that EU standard can only be established when tests on the material were carried out at the time of production and/or supply or breach of the standard can be proven by tests conducted later.
The European Court of Justice is further asked whether a national court is obliged to disapply national law by implying terms as to merchantability and fitness for purpose on grounds that statutory terms create standards which have not been notified in accordance with an EU directive on technical standards (Directive 98/34).
In a statement after the Supreme Court decision, Irish Asphalt Ltd said the reference to the European Court of Justice justified the company's decision to appeal the case and highlighted the complexity of the legal issues concerning testing and standards.
Irish Asphalt Ltd said it acknowledged the severe difficulties that have been caused to many homeowners but said an expert panel in 2012 concluded the pyrite issue was not foreseen by anyone, including construction and quarry companies.
In a separate case involving pyrite yesterday, the Supreme Court dismissed an appeal by Irish Asphalt Ltd against another High Court finding that the terms and conditions of its contract with a construction company were incorporated into the contract between the companies for supply of infill material.
Noreside Construction Ltd, Kilkenny, sued Irish Asphalt Ltd for indemnity against legal actions arising out of the presence of pyrite in material it supplied for Noreside to build 52 houses and 31 senior citizens' homes for Dublin City Council at Griffith Avenue, Finglas, Dublin.

Putting on my Design and Assigned Certifier's hat these are the most striking paragraphs. Ancillary Certs issued and signed on foot of a quarry test, even in good faith, could be rendered null and void by a potential retrospective 'non-compliance' test at a later date, even if no defects are evident.
The only protection in this whole affair is for Local Authorities to fulfill their obligations with regard to vetting products that arrive in the market place and effectively 'underwrite' the provenance of the Ancillary Cert with respect to such matters.
