The budget agreement announced Monday afternoon by Gov. Brown and legislative Democrats reminds one of the old joke told about economists:
A physicist, a chemist and an economist are stranded on an island, with nothing to eat. A can of soup washes ashore. The physicist says, "Let's smash the can open with a rock." The chemist says, "Let's build a fire and heat the can first." The economist says, "Let's assume that we have a can-opener..."
In California's case, the way to balance the budget is to.... assume a balanced budget. Or at least enough revenues to forestall cuts.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
That's what this agreement, the details of which are only now beginning to circulate, appears to do. It replaces some of the gimmicks in the Democratic budget Brown vetoed with $4 billion in assumptions that more revenue will materialize.
Supposedly, cuts will follow if that money doesn't materialize it.
But don't bet on it, given that Democratic opposition to these cuts is so strong.
And since California's budget system and political realities don't permit an honest-to-goodness balanced budget, any future cuts will be full of assumptions and gimmicks,
At least that's what I assume.

Say I've got a web application running on a Linux VPS box. In order to apply kernel upgrades and some security fixes, I'll need to reboot the server. During this period, the server isn't reachable. I'm wondering if it's possible to display a maintenance notice to the user (via HTTP) at this time. The notice will be sent by a PHP script, which will handle requests to provide maintenance notice in either HTML format, a picture, or web service XML to clients. Or if possible, provide a partially running service.
What kinds of hardware and software do I need for this to happen (minimum budget please, and I'm hoping that a typical VPS/dedicated hosting provider can support these)?
Now I already knew that I could use software like squid to provide load balancing between 2 HTTP servers. But what do I do if squid itself needed an upgrade, or the CentOS server that's hosting squid? Plus, I don't actually need load balancing, it's fine if I have to "switch" to maintenance mode manually. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Reader: Do you think you are related to the individuals listed in this post? Please drop me a note! I love hearing from cousins and others researching my family!
I finally had a chance to do some personal genealogy research last night and so I headed to Ancestry.com to look for tidbits. While researching my paternal line, I found Benjamin William Franklin CORLEY (my great-great-grandfather) and fam in the 1880 and 1860 censuses in Tower Hill, Shelby Co., Ill., but had no luck finding them in 1870. I was relatively sure that they hadn't left the area only to return again before 1880. I decided to look for one of my ancestors' neighbors in 1870 instead and then check the nearby pages to see if my fam turned up.
I went back to the 1880 census and looked to see who their neighbors were that year. A NICHOLS family was the next on the census sheet. That's a rather common name. Next was John SHARROCK. Perfect!
I searched for John Sharrock in the 1870 census and was able to find him in the same town and county. The censustaker there that year seemed to have some creative spelling ideas and his handwriting left quite a bit to be desired. No wonder I was having trouble finding my family!
I scanned a couple of pages back and forth and then found what I was looking for (sort of). Due to his lengthy name, Benjamin William Franklin Corley often appears as B.W.F. Corley in various records. Well, I found what looked to me like a B.W.F. CANBY, but was indexed as CAULY two pages past Mr. Sharrock/Spirock.
Below the scan of the image on Ancestry is a typed index of the information appearing on the page. In the bottom left-hand corner is an "Add Update" button. I clicked on this to update the spelling of the household surname in the census index.
Any index is going to have inaccuracies, especially one that is based on sloppy handwriting and questionable spelling. I'm glad to see this feature on Ancestry that allows for researchers to help contribute to making the index more accurate!

The Protheans are an extinct race in Mass Effect that existed 50,000 years prior to the events of the series.
Protheans are humanoids of unclear ancestry. Their scaled heads are flat and tear-drop shaped, with the point at the back. They have four eyes with yellow irises and goat-like pupils. Protheans have three fingers (including an opposable thumb) on each hand and two toes on each foot.
Protheans are sensitive to the biochemistry used by humanoids to store memories, allowing them to share memories with other sapient beings through physical contact. They can even pick up some information from residue left behind by other beings on an object.
The Prothean civilization was a Roman-style empire, with the Protheans ruling an unspecified number of subject races. The center of Prothean government was the Citadel space station. Subject races would eventually identify themselves as "Prothean", regardless of their original self-identification.
Prothean society was highly Social Darwinist and prejudiced against artificial intelligence.
At one time the Protheans dominated the galaxy, only to be eradicated by the Reapers upon their return through the Citadel. Although warned by their own precursors, the Prothean strategy for defeating the Reapers depended on all races in the Empire following a single doctrine. When the Reapers identified weaknesses in this strategy, the various races were unable to adapt.
A small Prothean research team survived the genocide, and -- once the Reapers left -- they returned to the Citadel, sabotaging it to make it more difficult to bring back the Reaper fleet. This gave the next generation of spacefaring races the chance to delay the Reaper invasion rather than being taken completely by surprise.
The Reapers hid all traces of their involvement in the Prothean downfall, leading the later spacefaring races to assume that it was the Protheans who built the Citadel and the mass relay system. In reality the Reapers built them and the Protheans simply found them.
The Reapers used the Protheans to create the Collectors.
Threat Assessment
The Protheans had more advanced technology than the current Council races in multiple fields, and they controlled almost the whole galaxy. Little else is known about their capabilities.

Researcher: Czech science is average, wins few ERC grants (Prague Monitor, widely discussed in Czech press)Jungwirth is a member of the European Research Council. Well, I think that I was still a high school student when I was pretty much decided that the Czech contributions to science in general and physics in particular are pretty much negligible. In fact, before I came to the college, I was already worried whether there could be someone in our homeland who could teach me/us things needed for the cutting-edge physics etc.
Just to be sure, the Czech education bringing you up to the early 1970s or so is very good, I still think. But at the research level, the numbers speak clearly:
Researchers from other EU countries submit two or three times more applications for ERC grants than those from the Czech Republic, Jungwirth said. Moreover, 12 percent of the grant applications are successful on average, while Czech projects succeed only in 5 percent of cases. Czech projects have won ERC 25 grants worth 41 million euros since 2007, while Austrian and Hungarian projects have won 189 and 54 grants, respectively.Austrian and Hungary - totally comparable countries – have won 7.6 and 2.2 times more grants than Czechia, respectively. The deviation of these numbers from 1 obviously cannot be considered noise and – despite the EU's numerous fundamental shortcomings – I don't think that it's an effort of the evil EU organs to hurt Czechia, either.
Nevertheless, many Czechs believe that the research done at the Czech institutions is one of good quality. Now, you may find some Czechs who have done OK or good research abroad, let's not get obsessed with examples. But what about the Czech institutions? We used to be good with foreign brains – well, especially when Rudolph II was the holy Roman emperor (1575-1612). Rudolph moved the Habsburg capital from Vienna to Prague in 1583 and the capital stayed there through 1611 (it was also the capital between 1355 and 1437).
Under Rudolph II, Prague was a genuine European hub of arts and sciences. In physics, we are aware of this fact especially because of the contributions by Johannes Kepler (a German) and Tycho Brahe (a Dane) that were largely made in Prague and at nearby observatories etc. We may also notice that Rudolph II wasn't a full-blown Czech, you know, so full-blown Czechs according to the Czechs' prevailing definition of Czechs shouldn't be praised for the intellectual prosperity of the city in that era.
There are various reasons why the results are so bad but a concise summary seems appropriate here:
Czech scientific institutions are not open, they lack external experts and top researchers from abroad and their managements do not answer for the results to any superior body,Jungwirth said. Very true. Well, there are some promising exceptions. These days, it's unavoidable that most of the relevant scientific groups in the world are "global" which also means that they can speak English and they have to speak English most of the time. English is still rather unusual in the Czech research groups. A fact that is softly related – both a partial reason and a partial consequence – is that the number of foreign researchers is very low.
Well, the number isn't low only because of the language barrier – a negative side effect of our otherwise wonderful national revival 200 years ago. People just don't want to compete with foreigners. Well, it's probably true in other countries as well that most people would prefer not to compete for the jobs with foreigners. But there's an additional problem in Czechia that actually causes the problems: They are allowed not to compete. They are not really accountable for their poor results – the research institutes' management is "too independent", in this sense.
On top of that, people are encouraged to say lots of inaccurate or quite weird things. For example, Jungwirth sounded "critical" but even the main quote attributed to him is:
Czech science is average.Is it? You know, when 12% of the grant applications are successful in the EU, then 12% is the average figure. And because the Czech applicants have the 5% success rate, they are obviously not average. They are below the average or subpar. This statement boils down to rudimentary number theory again: twelve is greater than five.
You know what's going on here, don't you? The phrase
Someone is averageis used as a euphemism for
Someone isn't at the top.But an unpleasant fact is that these two sentences aren't equivalent. And most people who aren't at the top are below the average, and that subgroup below the average includes most of the researchers at Czech institutions, too.
Czechs are often brainwashed into thinking that the Czech research is and has been important. I think that this statement has never been right, especially not in truly theoretical or pure science. We are often told about roughly ten great Czech inventions such as
- Contact lens: Otto Wichterle
- Electric tram: František Křižík
- Oldest car: Leopold Sviták
- Swing plough: Veverka (=squirrel) cousins
- Ship's propeller: Josef František Ressel
- Lightning rod: Prokop Diviš
- Sugar cube: a Swiss guy in Dačice
- The word "robot": Čapek brothers
- Semtex: terrorists' favorite explosive
- Checo: a very practical way to produce pervitin
But pure science? That would be way weaker. Maybe some mathematicians could be mentioned as the best counterexamples - e.g. the father of the Čech cohomology. Some "more modern" counterparts of Kepler and Brahe could be found as well – e.g. our Germans such as Gregor Mendel. Or Einstein who taught in Prague for a year and realized the importance of the equivalence principle in Prague. But those aren't examples of a good science management run by Czechs.
It's not just a bad heritage of communism. I've read some history of the folks who were famous as physicists in Prague of the 19th century. One of them was writing rants against James Clerk Maxwell and his "ludicrous" theories. He was a genuine counterpart of the likes of Peter Woit – an aggressive know-nothing and a zero that just tries to make the life harder for the giants. When it comes to the people claiming to be researchers, we've had some really, really bad stuff that could only dream about becoming average.
Because it has become so normal to hire and pay people and groups without any demonstrable results or successes, the people who are actually competitive at some global level are extremely rare and they can easily become gurus at the Czech institutions for long decades – even though they have often lost any contact with the cutting edge and even their results decades ago weren't really remarkable but at most average at the global scale.
What I have written above may be enough to understand the toxic mix. In some sense, the Czech nation does have some respect towards science although it is not really interested in science. So it's ready to fund science without conditions and accountability. But the funding isn't super-generous – science is just a relatively safe way to get a near-average salary. The poor results show what you can get if you fund a whole industry without conditions and accountability. You simply shouldn't do that.
Mediocrity, silence, and lack of creativity have become the ideal. Needless to say, brilliant young people see that the worshiping of the subpar old national "leaders of science" and "aging" are the two most preferred types of work for their upward mobility. Most of them don't like this offer and they either avoid science or try to move abroad.
How can it be fixed? Well, I actually think that the rules that work have been mostly discovered and it would be desirable to think how to adopt them and how to become at least average, indeed, because that would be a huge improvement.
I am sure that a vast majority of the TRF readers isn't interested in similar issues in Czechia but I still believe that some of the ideas and mechanisms are relevant outside the stinky Czech pond (=the Czech basin or crater), too.
Completely off-topic:
Make your Justin Bieber in one day
There seem to be disciplines in which Czechs are arguably better. The professional Internet prankster Kazma – see previous blog posts – is earning millions of crowns and holy cow, I think he deserves it.
This time, he and his staff created a fake Justin Bieber:
A new episode full of unbelievable turnarounds ended with a lawsuit from Justin Bieber (a video in Czech)In November, Bieber had his first concert in Prague – and the media reported that he was good but too cold. He didn't even greet Prague. Well, the video above probably explains why.
Kazma organized a casting to pick a boy who plays Bieber's song on his guitar at home. Among hundreds or so candidates, they picked the one who looked like Justin Bieber, a guy in Ostrava who never played in public. They moved him to the Prague Dinopark (a Jurassic Park with models of dinosaurs, we have one in Pilsen, too) which is located next to the huge O2 Arena, a big hall for ice-hockey and concerts. (See Street View.)
Kazma corrupted a hairdresser, some stylists, and they made him behave like Justin Bieber. But the poor guy didn't even know. On the roof of the Dinopark rented by Kazma, they installed the ordinary guy from Ostrava and he was playing Bieber's well-known "you should go and f*ck yourself" 2015 song. The fans – over a thousand of girls – were driven absolutely insane. The cell phones were running at full steam and they were yelling etc. No one can distinguish similar faces from 18 meters so it worked.
The unknown guy from Ostrava became an instant celebrity. Kazma also wanted his fake Bieber to meet the real one. So they borrowed identical cars as in Bieber's convoy, studied the routes he would take to the arena (such people don't go through the VIP entrance but the technical entrance), and they got in. A tense encounter took place in the garage – some bones were broken by the American bodyguards, it seems.
This job was mostly done by Kazma's staff. Meanwhile, he was securing funding. Celebrities like Bieber normally rent several fancy hotels at once, to discourage journalists and fans from reserving the same hotels. The decision about the hotel is only done in the last minute. Could Kazma et al. be close to Bieber, anyway? Yes: They used the same strategy as the celebrities. So they hired rooms in several hotels and when it was known which one was picked, they used the reservation.
They had a second fake Justin Bieber there and told everybody – all the journalists – that it was just a prank. The fans were driven insane again, anyway. The journalists could have thought that by knowing that it was a prank, they prevented further cool evolution of the prank. But this assumption was absolutely wrong. The truthfulness was actually a key to an even bigger prank that secured much of the funding for the whole prank. What happened?
Well, they indeed had a fake Justin Bieber but the real one came there, too. And a fan pantsed him. Because the normal journalists were convinced that there's nothing interesting to see – just a fake Bieber – they didn't record it. So Kazma was the only one who had the video of a pantsed Justin Bieber and they sold it to TMZ, an Internet TV, for $25,000. From there, it spread to many similar video providers in the world. I didn't actually understand whether it was a real or fake Bieber who was pantsed and I am not sure whether I care about this detail too much. ;-)
Also, I am not sure whether $25,000 was enough to cover all the expenses but their ability to (partly?) fund themselves in this way is amazing.
Kazma is a borderline criminal but an amazing one, especially if his version of the events is true – which I can never be quite sure about.

As the first month of the new year has begun, you might be overwhelmed with all the new people in your fitness facility. And although you have many tasks on your plate, now is a great time to get some of those new members—and some of your longtime members—into personal training as they think about how they want to change their lives for the better this year. Your personal trainers should be front and center when it comes to bringing these people into the fold. However, many personal trainers do not know how to sell.
Here are six steps that you can teach your trainers to help them sell:
1. Role playing is key. Your trainers must role play sales situations with each other because role play is inherently uncomfortable. The psychology behind doing this is that humans are afraid of rejection and looking silly in front of others. When you introduce role playing, it can be harder than an actual sales situation because of the judgment factor the trainer will feel from the co-worker or manager. Another fantastic way to desensitize trainers from the fear of rejection is for the group to role play by all offering one trainer on the hot seat many objections and rejections at once.
2. Have the trainer shadow another successful salesperson. By watching another trainer be successful in sales, you build a belief within the shadowing trainer's mind that sales can and will be made. Sales is a mental sport. If your belief system is flawed and you already doubt that you can sell because you have never seen a successful sale, the trainers' confidence and belief will be low, and sales will be lost.
3. Throw away the old-school Wall Street tactics. In this transparent world where customers have so many choices, customers will not fall for manipulation tactics that some clubs may have used in the past. Most trainers resist selling because of the reputation selling has due to these old-school tactics. Trainers often believe that they will have to force someone to buy training or use some high-pressure tactic to get the sale. You must prove this wrong and teach a softer sale that positions the trainer as a consultant.
4. Teach the trainer a consultative sales approach. This approach is important on many levels because it makes the sales process much easier and is more congruent with the trainer and the potential customer. The consultative sales approach actually is the lost art of listening. Most successful salespeople do not talk the entire presentation; they actually listen more than they talk. The listening part of the presentation is the most important because it builds trust between the trainer and the customer and it takes some pressure off of the trainer because the trainer mostly asks questions in this consultative sales approach. Come up with some emotionally based, open-ended questions that you can teach your training staff to use in the presentation. Any questions that really dig deep into why potential customers want to reach their goals will dramatically increase the number of new personal training clients.
5. Conduct self-improvement and value-based meetings once a week. For the most part, sales is more than a collection of tactics and strategies. The strategies are important, but they will not work if the values of the trainer are not congruent with the strategy. For example, if you have a trainer who believes that it is bad to ask people for money, then that trainer will struggle with getting sales because the belief is not congruent with what you are asking them to do at the close of the sale. But if you work with that same trainer and find out that they value changing people's lives, then you can teach them that by not asking for the money they are preventing the potential client from changing their lives. Also, a crucial part to a good salesperson is their confidence. So the best way to build the confidence of the salesperson is to remind them of their successes continuously and help make them more competent. Competency creates confidence. Under no circumstances should you use fear to try and motivate the salesperson. Sales is already a fear-based activity, and by adding fear-based management styles, it will only cause a disaster and an expensive turnover ratio.
6. Be transparent with your business model and numbers. Many gym owners or managers are afraid of being completely transparent when it comes to how their particular gym business makes money. There is nothing to hide and be ashamed of, and what we have found is that if you open up and teach the trainer how the business makes money, it builds trust. You will find that the trainer will make better decisions for the business because they understand the business.

Wanted to get in a short, easy run before the world ends. Planned on five, but cut it to four because it felt like armageddon was already starting to occur in my bowels.
Kind of nice, in a way, to be able to take it easy on the running as I've been in a strange recover-but-build-up-but-don't-over-do-it period between Boston and my 50-miler next week. But I'm starting to grow tired of it. I'm starting to miss the lack of structure with each workout week. Will have to work on that between Pineland and the 50K at the end of the July.
Ran 4.0 miles @ 8:14/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Slightly hilly.
60 degrees, overcast, humid.

I just read Jeff Donowitz's letter [April 28: "Hook should be ashamed"] regarding the story on vaccines and autism.
I am the father of a six-year-old autistic girl, and I am lately inclined to believe that our childhood vaccine program has had a lot do with our current epidemic of autism, ADHD, type-1 diabetes, peanut anaphylaxis, and other disorders.
I have been comparatively slow coming to this position. Many of my friends, especially those better read on the topic than I am, have reached this conclusion far more quickly.
Donowitz complains that the article was "one sided." It didn't strike me that way, but maybe it ought to have been. Coverage in the popular press (NBC, Time, Newsweek) has certainly been one sided. In these media, the only story is that every study has concluded that there is no connection between vaccines (especially thimerosal) and autism. This is not true.
Please read Evidence of Harm by David Kirby. The essential fact of it is that those in charge of our National Immunization Program have failed to protect people from unnecessary harm, and have failed to protect the program from loss of citizens' confidence.
They have treated every honest request for information with disdain. The Centers for Disease Control have refused requests from independent researchers for access to the Vaccine Safety Datalink. The CDC study of the data from the VSD originally found a high association between thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders. Subsequent reworkings of the study made the connection disappear. These are facts which can be checked. The unfortunate dual responsibility of the CDC for both promotion of the program and oversight of it is unworkable.
Donowitz says "shame" on the Hook. I say "thank you" for trying to bring some balance to a topic which has been presented in a very lopsided way in the popular press.

I hope I'm in the right forum section
I am helping someone with a website that was developed a few years ago and someone installed the Ajax Tabs plugin.
Basically, this is the problem, the plugin used to have these arrows spinning around on the Home page (until the user scrolled or clicked), and I think it might have been a slide show that was loaded too. At one point this feature supposedly just stopped working.
I am unfamiliar with the plugin, so I am not sure what exactly the effect is and what it might be that I need to do to fix this.
I'm reluctant to upgrade the WP for now.
Also, is there a way to upgrade the plugin perhaps?
Or do I just need to change a line of code somewhere. I already did notice that some reference links were outdated, so maybe there is some link that is not being loaded somewhere..
Any help would be appreciated.

Collaboration is all the rage in business these days -- and for good reason, given the complex challenges businesses face today. But recently published research suggests that collaboration can exact heavy time costs if done inefficiently.
Consider this. In research published in MIT Sloan Management Review, Rob Cross of the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce and four coauthors -- Peter Gray, Shirley Cunningham, Mark Showers and Robert J. Thomas -- analyzed employee networks in the IT functions of 12 large companies. Their aim: To better understand how to foster effective collaboration.
Some of the authors' findings also shed light on the time costs of inefficient collaboration. For example, the authors write in an article in MIT Sloan Management Review that:
- "At Monsanto the employees who interacted with the least efficient project managers and organizational leaders spent five times more time preparing for and engaging in those collaborations than did employees who interacted with the most efficient project managers and organizational leads...."
- "Many individuals spent 25 to 35 hours per week preparing for and engaging in collaborations with others."
Monsanto managers, according to the article, concluded that if they could help just 20 of their less-efficient project managers and leaders become average in collaborative efficiency, the approximately 400 individuals who routinely interacted with those project managers and leaders would save up to 1500 hours a week, collectively.
In general, the authors observe that:
"Although collaboration is often seen as a virtue, too much collaboration at too many organizational levels can be a negative. It is important to reduce network connectivity at points where collaboration fails to produce sufficient value."
You can read more about the authors' other findings -- and how individuals and business units can collaborate more effectively -- in the Fall 2010 issue of MIT Sloan Management Review.
How about you? How much of your workweek do you spend collaborating or preparing to collaborate with others? (And how much time do you think people spend preparing to collaborate with you?) Could any of that collaboration be done more efficiently?

The best BMW ever produced! Just recently purchased with 47,000 on it. It now has 53000 after 2 1/2 months of ownership.
Don't worry, I plan to have a matching RT at some point when I find one, and the sherriff says it's OK.
I needed to do some cost cutting and sold my 2003 F650Gs. And since my better half has started enjoying riding pillion, decided to try an older model 1100RT and put some cash in the bank.
Found this last week. Has 62K miles. Runs smooth. Excellent records. Really enjoying it so far. Only exception might be that the fairing gets in the way of me stretching an occasional cramped leg. Never thought that would be an issue till I tried to maneuver my left leg around a fairing to stretch at 75 mph.
Looking forward to stretching it out on some twisty roads when some of this heat goes away,

Pfizer drug shows mixed results in psoriasis trials
A high dose of Pfizer Inc's drug, tofacitinib, proved as effective as the widely used treatment Enbrel in treating adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in a late-stage study, while a lower dose of tofacitinib was less effective than Enbrel, the drugmaker said on Wednesday.
Analysts said the mixed results, from a 12-week study called OPT Compare, suggest there would be limited demand for tofacitinib as a treatment for psoriasis if it is eventually approved for the inflammatory skin condition affecting more than 7 million Americans.
The study examined the effectiveness of both 5 milligram and 10 milligram twice-daily doses of oral tofacitinib with a placebo and with the approved twice-weekly starting dose of injectable Enbrel.
Pfizer said tofacitinib, already approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis under the brand name Xeljanz, showed similar dose-response trends and similar safety trends as those seen in an earlier mid-stage trial of tofacitinib for treatment of psoriasis.
ISI Group analyst Mark Schoenebaum said the findings suggest that tofacitinib, at the 10 milligram dose, has "biologic-like efficacy," meaning effectiveness on par with costly biotech drugs like Enbrel that are grown in living cells.
But Schoenebaum noted that although tofacitinib had been studied at both the 5 milligram and 10 milligram doses for rheumatoid arthritis, it was only approved for the 5 milligram dose due to concerns of increased safety risk of the higher dose.
"As a result, there is a risk that only the 5 milligram dose is approved in psoriasis and dermatologists will view (tofacitinib) to be inferior to Enbrel and other biologics with a similar and less robust pool of long-term safety data," Schoenebaum said.
Citi analyst Yaron Werber said mid-stage trials of tofacitinib showed serious side effects at all dosages, including cardiovascular events, elevated cholesterol and decreases in hemoglobin.
"Based on our doctor checks, the safety of tofacitinib is not clean enough to garner broad use by the risk-averse dermatology community," Werber said in a research report.
Xeljanz, approved last November for rheumatoid arthritis, had second quarter sales of $22 million. But some industry analysts expect it to eventually capture annual sales of $1 billion or more, as an alternative to injectable biotech arthritis drugs like Enbrel and Abbott Laboratories Inc's Humira that have their own side effect issues.
On Wednesday, Pfizer said tofacitinib met its primary effectiveness goal in a separate Phase III psoriasis study, called OPT Retreatment, which lasted 56 weeks and compared the 5 milligram and 10 milligram doses of tofacitinib to a placebo.
That study compared the effectiveness and safety of withdrawal and retreatment with both tofacitinib doses, compared with placebo, in adult patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.
A greater proportion of patients taking tofacitinib maintained symptom relief during the withdrawal of treatment compared with patients who switched to placebo, Pfizer said in a statement.
Pfizer said full data from the pair of Phase III studies, the first of five late-stage trials of tofacitinib for psoriasis, will be presented at a future scientific meeting. Data from two more of the large studies is expected in the second quarter of 2014, Pfizer said.
Shares of Pfizer slipped 0.3 percent in midday trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin, which also affects nails, joints and other organs. An estimated 125 million people worldwide have the condition, according to Pfizer, including 7.5 million in the United States.
The disease is caused partly by an overactive immune system, which causes the body to grow skin cells up to 10-fold faster than normal. The cells build up on top of each other to form raised red patches of plaque on the skin.
Enbrel, a blockbuster product sold by Amgen Inc and Pfizer, works by blocking a protein called tumor necrosis factor, that is linked to inflammation.
Tofacitinib is a so-called JAK inhibitor, as it blocks an enzyme called Janus kinase that is also associated with inflammation.

Rockies announce Minor League staff assignments
Modesto gets new manager; no changes to skippers at other levels
DENVER -- Don Sneddon, whose program at Santa Ana College has produced more than 100 players who have signed pro contracts over the last 33 seasons, will join the Rockies as manager at Class A Advanced Modesto.
Sneddon, who has coached his team to more wins than any other California community college coach, was the only new manager among Minor League affiliates, according to the Rockies' announcement of Minor League staff assignments Monday.
The club also announced that Jerry Weinstein, the Rockies' Major League catching instructor the last two seasons, has been named the offensive coordinator for the farm system. Weinstein also is author of a new advanced instructional manual on catching, "The Complete Handbook of Coaching Catchers" (Coaches Choice).
Glenallen Hill returns for his second straight season at Triple-A Colorado Springs, Kevin Riggs returns for his third season at Double-A Tulsa, Fred Ocasio is back for his second season at Class A Asheville, Drew Saylor heads into his second season at Class A Short-Season Tri-City, Anthony Sanders heads into his second season at Rookie-level Grand Junction. Also, Mauricio Gonzalez returns to manage the Dominican Summer League entry.
The only new coach in the system is Mark Brewer, who has coached at the pro level for more than 20 seasons and most recently was at Triple-A Buffalo in the Mets' system in 2012. He also has been a pitching coach for more than 10 seasons in Latin American winter leagues.
Beginning last year, the Rockies instituted development supervisors at each level except for Triple-A and the Dominican Summer League program. The only change in those jobs is Ron Gideon will work at Tulsa and Duane Espy will be at Tri-City in a job exchange. Other development supervisors are Fred Nelson at Modesto, Marv Foley at Asheville and Tony Diaz at Grand Junction.

SolarWorld, 245W PV Module, MC4, PV Wire, 31mm Clear 2.5 Frame, 60 Cell 16A Fuse, No PTC, SW245 Poly2.5
High-quality, high performance, and high reliability – the Sunmodule Plus® is designed and built for long-term yield stability and ease of use.
Every module is factory flashed at standard test conditions (STC) to determine the power output and then sorted in 5 watt increments. Only modules with a flashed power that is greater than or equal to the nameplate rated power are delivered. Flash report data is provided with every order.
The proven design of the patented low profile Sunbox junction box, has been installed on over 4,000,000 modules. Integrated by-pass diodes and sealed welded connections ensure reliability and eliminate failures resulting from exposure to the elements. The molded fins on the exterior housing dissipate heat quickly to ensure high reliability and long life.
The patented box channel frame design provides extraordinary stiffness in bending and torsion. The laminate with 4 mm glass is set deep in the frame channel and secured with precision applied adhesive. The frame is assembled by press fit to maximize strength and longevity. The result is an extremely robust package that can be mounted in any orientation and can withstand static loads of up to 113 psf.
SolarWorld is committed to manufacturing in the United States and makes use of the superior automation technology and employee productivity available here. SolarWorld promotes local economies and energy independence. While many products claiming to be "made in the USA" are merely assembled from imported components, SolarWorld makes Sunmodules entirely in the USA from American-made raw materials and components.
Plus-sorting guarantees the highest system efficiency. Only modules that achieve the designated nominal performance or greater in performance tests are dispatched. These SolarWorld modules have received top marks in numerous independent performance tests: In Photon test laboratory's endurance test, Solarworld's modules occupied first place in 2008 and in 2009 and were assessed by the OKO-TEST consumer magazine as "very good."

SolarWorld is making PV a mainstream energy choice throughout the Americas by continually improving performance while lowering equipment and installation costs for both on and off-grid applications.
30 years of experience
After 30 years of experience our systems have proven durability. With the acquisition of Shell Solar's crystalline business in 2006, SolarWorld brought onboard three decades of solar history in America. Previously known as ARCO Solar and Siemens Solar, SolarWorld's Camarillo, California factory was one of the first solar PV companies in the world. SolarWorld has since more than tripled the capacity of this facility and opened North America's largest wafer and cell factory in Hillsboro, Oregon.
Help for underdeveloped nations
SolarWorld's non-profit arm, Solar2World, brings the benefits of clean sustainable solar energy to underdeveloped areas around the world. Solar2World has already helped villagers in China and Africa gain access to electricity, and the economic and social benefits it brings. Projects in Latin America are underway now.

Team Fundraising Goal:
| Amount Raised: $50.00
Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for
cystic fibrosis!
For too long, cystic fibrosis, a rare, genetic disease, has
robbed people of tomorrows – progressively limiting their ability to breathe
and tragically shortening life. There are approximately 30,000 Americans living
with CF. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and
co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease. We
walk in Great Strides for them.
Will you join us?
Great Strides is a fun event that provides a fantastic
opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together to
make a difference in the lives of people with CF.
To participate, just click on the "Join our Team"
button. From there, you can make a donation and start fundraising.
By joining our Great Strides team and making a donation, you
will be part of a tenacious and passionate group of people committed to ending
this disease. Together, let's make CF stand for Cure Found!
Infections can exacerbate CF symptoms and worsen lung function, so we ask attendees at Foundation-sponsored events to observe the following best practices to reduce the risk of germ transmission:
To further reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation's attendance policy recommends that all people with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times while attending an outdoor Foundation-sponsored event. All Great Strides walks are non-smoking events.

Should I buy it?
Hello. I just joined this forum now to ask a question.
A friend of mine has found an E30 M3 that is for sale for $5,000, and forwarded the information to me being that I'm a bit of a BMW enthusiast. He passed by it and got the phone number from another friend who lives in that area. I haven't called the man or seen the car yet.
From what I understand, the car is parked outside of a house, and looks like it has been parked there for a long time. Each wheel is a different brand and a different make. It is some type of yellow color, but the car being as dirty as it is, looks more black at this point.
I have no idea if the interior or drivetrain is in working order, but from the information I've gotten already (price and condition), I'm going to assume the worst.
Just looking at AutoTrader.com gave me a bit of a surprise as to how much these M3s are going for these days. I knew they went up in value, but I had no idea how much. Personally, I don't have very much money to spend on a vehicle at the moment, and I'd like to ask a few questions before I commit to a project that, depending on cost, I may never finish.
I figure I should check the car out first, and get some better information, but out of curiosity, assuming that the drivetrain is shot, how much is just the shell worth? I'd be much more likely to pick it up and take a risk if there was a good chance that I'd get my money back if the drivetrain wasn't in working order.
Also, how do I check to make sure this is a "real" M3? Is there a way to check from the VIN? I'd hate to pay 5k for a neglected 325 with a body kit.
Is there anything that I should look for specifically that should stop me from buying the car?
I'll update the thread after I check the car out and get some better information.

Lots of e30 M3 info over here https://s14net.vbulletin.net/
If I had to guess I would factor about $30k+ for a restoration

Re: Should I buy it?
You can start by checking if the VIN starts with WBS, which is the beginning letters to all M car VINs.
As long as the shell isn't totally rotted, yes you could flip it for more but there is a BIG if that pertains to what's actually included and what's salvageable. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask, I'm not an expert but I've done a fair amount of research in my search for one. If you decide to pass, feel free to PM me, always looking for a project car.

Re: Should I buy it?
Sorry for the delay.
I finally got in contact with the owner after more than a few unanswered phone calls. He told me that it is a 1984 325 with an M3 kit on it, so, I'm no longer interested. It looked real enough passing by it from the street, but I never did get a close look at it. The price tag for a car in this condition had me thinking it was the real thing as well.
Sorry for the waste of time. Feel free to delete this thread if necessary.

The Webster shop in South Beach is bringing the eclectic Art Deco vibe to the masses.
More than a year ago, the department store approached owners of the Miami Beach store The Webster and a collaboration was born. The collection hits Target stores on May 6 and items range from $7.99 to $49.99.
"It was love at first at sight," said Webster co-owner Laure Heriard Dubreuil.
The specialty shop, located at 1220 Collins Ave., is a renovated 1939, 12,000 sq. foot Art Deco building that caters to the tastes of South Beach fasionistas.
"It's so important that its in the heart of South Beach. It's such a strong heritage and such a strong impact. I did two years of renovations in the building," she said.
The owners kept the vintage wallpaper they found in the building, the graphic designs and prints and translated those into the Target collection. They used colors which they feel symbolize Miami like coral, from the flamingo, which is the store's logo. There is also a strong tropical feel, so there's green.
There are lots of dresses, long and short, because they are a key item for sale at the shop. Cardigans, ballet flats, bathing suits, hats, jewelry, little shorts, hats, belts and colored blazers make up the rest of the designs.
"Miami is the place for dresses. Dresses you can wear during the day and you can make into a cocktail dress," she said.
On a men's T-shirt there's a printed photo of a Miami sunset, and no collection is complete without bags. So, for this one, there is a fabric bag with a banana leaf print in two tones with rope handle and a beach tote with a print. Jewelry was inspired by shells at beach in gold and silver.
But Joshua Thomas, a Target spokesman, said the items will not be replenished, which means shoppers have to get there early.
"A limited time partnership is meant to entice customers," he said.
The Webster collection is part of a new program at the department store, which is now bringing specialty shops to consumers with everything from dog food to dresses. For the first of five such series the specialty stores are: The Candy Store, Cos Bar, Polka Dog Bakery, Privet House and The Webster.
"The idea is in the same way we encountered these little shops, we are giving the opportunity for our guests," Thomas said. "These are very talented curators, shop owners who never really designed products."
The first time Target partnered with a designer was in 1999 and since then there have been 100 such collaborations.
"Design has always been and will continue to be a differentiator for us," he said. "It's important we have the elements that separate us from the competition."
Thomas said these limited time partnerships are "seen as a shopping experience much as Black Friday is an experience ... It's becoming more of a shopping moment."

ED-E My Love
- (1) ED-E appears to have some Enclave log data stored that is triggered by some keywords.
- (2) The Followers of the Apocalypse would like to see ED-E to get access to the logs he has stored.
- (3) April Martimer with the Followers would like access to ED-E's data. She promises to upgrade its weapons while she works on it.
- (4) April has ED-E and will be working with it for a few days to access the data and upgrade its weapons.
- (5) ED-E's upgrades are complete.
Important Items...
This side quest can actually be pretty long, and worse yet, super convoluted. So what we've done here in our walkthrough for the side quest entitled ED-E My Love is we've reduced things down to its essence. While you don't have to implicitly follow our instructions, doing so will allow you to complete this side quest in roughly ten or fifteen minutes, as opposed to stretching the side quest out to uncomfortably-long lengths. Either way, this entire fiasco begins at Primm. In Primm, you'll find a building marked with the word "MOJAVE" on the top of a building. Enter, and you should find a broken robot sitting on the counter directly in front of you. Examine the robot, and you'll be given several options to fix it. With a decent Science or Repair skill, you can repair ED-E easily and quickly, but without those skills, you'll have to find some items to fix the robot. This is one of many reasons why waiting until deep into the game to complete this side quest is worth it.
Okay, so have you fixed ED-E? One way or another, once the robot is fixed, he'll come along with you as one of the game's followers. Now, this side quest won't be earned quite yet. The idea is actually to keep ED-E with you long enough that you begin to hear certain words uttered by various characters in the game. This takes time, patience and perseverance. But if you want to bypass all of that and get the show on the road rapidly, you'll want to speak with a man named Ignacio Rivas. Rivas is located in HELIOS One, the NCR-controlled power plant near the center of the Mojave Wasteland. So hopefully, you're on good terms with the NCR. Near the back end of the power plant, you'll find Rivas roaming around near the exit out to the outdoor solar array. Speak with him about everything, and ED-E should activate with some new information once the conversation has run through. Speak with him once more, and ED-E should activate with even more information. Now we're getting somewhere!
Your next order of business is to wait for two days. You should be able to wait right there in HELIOS One, waiting in two batches of 24-hours each. Once that's done, if everything is in order thus far, ED-E should activate, and a couple of characters will talk to you in realtime through ED-E's speaker. One contact is from the Brotherhood of Steel, and the other is from the Followers of the Apocalypse. Both will plead with you to bring them ED-E, for it appears that there's plenty of secret information stored on ED-E's damaged harddrives. You can make either choice you want; it shouldn't change the outcome of the side quest. We opted to go with the Followers of the Apocalypse, but going with the Brotherhood of Steel works too. That particular arc isn't covered here, however.
To meet up with the Followers of the Apocalypse, you'll need to head over to the Old Mormon Fort at Freeside. There, you'll find a doctor named April Martimer roaming around. Speak with her, and she'll cut to the chase and begin asking you about the robot. You can pick her brain about what she intends to do with it and why she doesn't want the Brotherhood of Steel to have it, but ultimately, you'll need to hand it over to her and then wait three in-game days. After waiting the prerequisite seventy-two hours, the game will prompt you that ED-E has randomly reappeared back at Primm. Head back to town, and you should find him floating around the same shop where you earlier found him disabled. He'll join back up with you, at which point this random side quest will conclude.

Beijing approves US$11.2 billion international airport
China's State Council has approved plans for a much-needed new airport in Beijing, official Chinese media reported this week.
Officials also approved a rail line connecting the airport to the city center.
Located in Daxing, a suburban district in southern Beijing, the airport will reportedly cost approximately RMB 70 billion (US$11.2 billion) and is scheduled to open in 2018.
Six runways will be for commercial use, while one will be reserved for military use, China Daily reported, quoting CAAC News, a media outlet affiliated with the local aviation administration.
Beijing Capital International Airport, the city's current airport, has long been criticized for lack of infrastructure and constant delays in the context of China's rapidly growing air travel demand.
With 81.8 million passenger trips in 2012, it was ranked the world's second-busiest airport for three years running, right after Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport's 90 million (domestic and international passengers).
"There are constant delays and the international terminal is awful," Jeff Lee, a Hong Kong-based 31-year-old frequent business traveler to Beijing, told CNN.
"Literally, the best restaurant in the international terminal is Pizza Hut. I enjoy Pizza Hut as much as the next guy but not in the capital of China."
In 2011, aviation officials in China announced plans to increase its total number of airports from 175 to 230 within five years, saying Beijing alone is expected to handle 450-500 million passenger trips by 2015.
The new airport will have the capacity to handle 70 million passenger trips by 2025, reported local media.

A growing preference for Western-style fast food in Asian and Southeast Asian countries shows already an impact on their populations' health, and not in a good way, according a newly released study by the University of Michigan (UM).
Researchers of the university's School of Public Health found that Chinese residents in Singapore were at a higher risk of developing diabetes and heart disease since fast food restaurant chains like McDonald's, Burger King and KFC started setting up shop in the 1980s. Prior to that time, American-style fast food was practically unknown there and diseases like these were comparatively rare.
"What we found was a dramatic public health impact by fast food, a product that is primarily a Western import into a completely new market," Odegaard said in an interview with the Duluth News Tribune (7/5/2012), a local Minnesota newspaper.
According to the study report, which was published online in the journal Circulation by the American Heart Association (AHA), people who consumed fast food even as little as once a week, increased their risk of developing coronary heart disease by 20 percent compared to those who never touched it. The rate jumped to 50 percent for those who indulged two to three times per week, and to 80 percent for those who went beyond that. Regular consumption of fast food also seemed to lead to a substantially higher risk of type 2 diabetes, according to the study.
Until now, there has been surprisingly little research on potential links between fast food and health risks and that was mainly focused on the United States. Andrew Odegaard, a post-doctoral researcher at UM and study leader said he wanted to look at a Southeast Asian population because of the relatively small time frame since fast food was introduced there and also because the population there is quickly becoming a hotbed for diet and lifestyle diseases similar to the U.S.
In cooperation with the National University of Singapore, the UM team analyzed medical records and questionnaires about diet and lifestyle habits of over 50,000 Chinese Singapore residents. During the study's 16-year follow-up period, 2,252 participants developed diabetes and 1,397 died of heart attacks or heart-related diseases.
Although focused on a relatively small group, the study results could be relevant for future research in public health on a global scale. "The consumption of Western-style fast food is really growing in Asia and South and Southeast Asia, in countries where there are a lot of developing economies," said Odegaard in the interview. [For the major fast-food chains], "this is their primary engine of growth. What the companies have going on in North America is steady, the market is saturated, but there is real growth in the growing economies."
Critics of the report have called the results inconclusive because many of the applied data were largely based on self-reporting by participants, which is often considered imprecise and unreliable. Also, critics say that unhealthy eating habits tend to go hand in hand with other poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking and sedentary behavior. Poverty and lack of access to healthcare may also play a role. Singling out fast food as the one culprit would therefore be unreasonable.
Still, it is undeniable that the growing popularity of Western eating styles is coinciding with a dramatic increase in obesity and related illnesses in many parts of the world. Even in places like Brazil, where the government has made serious efforts to limit access to fast food in schools and residential areas to protect the public's health, especially of children, the rates of diabetes and heart disease are going up. Apparently even some of the most stringent existing regulations don't suffice.

Fenway Park was relatively quiet in 1957 and the Red Sox finished in a distant third place. The highlight of the year was the performance of Ted Williams, who hit .388 despite being nearly 40 years old.
Fenway Park was relatively quiet in 1957 and the Red Sox finished in a distant third place. The highlight of the year was the performance of Ted Williams, who hit .388 despite being nearly 40 years old.
Record: 82-72, 3rd in American League
Manager: Michael F. Higgins
Attendance: 1,181,087
In 1957, 39-year old Ted Williams hit .388 and won his fifth batting title. Between September 17 and September 23, Williams set a MLB record that still stands when he reached base in 16 consecutive plate appearances, the final 13 against the Yankees. On the September 22, New York was so wary of the left fielder that they walked him three times and on the only strike he saw, Williams hit a grand slam. Despite hitting .454 in the second half of the season, and perhaps due of the grudges of a few petty voters, Williams finished second in the MVP voting to Mickey Mantle.
Third baseman Frank Malzone also lost out on a well-deserved award when the standards for the Rookie of the Year Award and the maximum number of at-bats a rookie could accumulate in prior seasons were adjusted in September 1957. However, Malzone was rewarded for his defense when he won the Gold Glove at third base (the first time this award was given out).
Right-hander Frank Sullivan had another good year with a 2.73 ERA and 14-11 record. The 1957 Red Sox climbed within 5 1/2 games of first place in late May but were never closer. Off the field, the press box remained an all-male preserve after Boston baseball writers voted to exclude women from the Fenway Park media area in May, keeping out Cleveland writer Doris O'Donnell.
Fall River native and future member of the 1967 Red Sox Russ Gibson starred as one of the Most Valuable Players in the 1957 William Randolph Hearst Sandlot Tournament game at Fenway Park.

Poll: Gap narrows between Norton, Buck
GOP Senate hopeful Jane Norton's lead on her primary opponent Ken Buck has narrowed in the last eight weeks to just a five-point, 31 to 26 lead, a new poll found.
Among people who describe themselves as conservatives, Buck leads Norton 34 to 30 points. Norton's overall advantage comes from moderate voters, according to the survey from Public Policy Polling released today.
The poll found that 32% of primary voters view Buck favorably — an 11-point jump from the 21% who did in March. Norton meanwhile has dropped in this area from 41% to 34%
"Today's poll reflects what Ken has believed throughout this campaign," said Buck spokesman Owen Loftus. "Instead of spending his time in DC, Ken has been busy traveling the state, reaching out and listening to Coloradans. This poll captures his growing momentum and is great news as we head into the State Assembly on Saturday."
Two months ago, the former Lt. Gov. had a comfortable 17-point margin over Buck, the Weld County District Attorney.
Norton's campaign called the poll good news.
"Jane is winning," said Norton spokeswoman Cinamon Watson. "After Ken Buck's shady 527s have spent over $1 million in attack ads, Jane is still winning. We're not taking anything for granted, Jane is campaigning around the state and her message is resonating with voters."
The poll of 448 likely Republican primary voters was conducted from May
14 to May 16 and has a margin of error of 4.6%/

Zuniga has successful knee operation
Napoli full-back Camilo Zuniga has undergone surgery to correct a lingering injury to his right knee.
The Serie A side decided to send the 27-year-old for the procedure to sort an issue from a problem he picked up eight years ago.
Zuniga missed the 2-0 defeat to table-toppers Roma on Friday, and will have to wear a knee guard for the next ten days before it will be decided how long he will require for rehabilitation.
Elsewhere, centre-back Miguel Britos has avoided surgery on a dislocated shoulder.
The Uruguayan sustained the injury in Friday's fixture with Roma, and was replaced in first-half stoppage time to be replaced by Paolo Cannavaro.
He will follow a special training plan at the club, and will be missing for up to four weeks.
Rafael Benitez's charges lie second in Serie A with 19 points from eight matches, and will look to bounce back from their Roma setback when they face Marseille in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
