Devil's Advocate- Perspective From The Other Side On The Active Network
Disclosure: The author of this article is long ACTV
Active is set to announce earnings on Thursday, February 14th at 430pm Eastern. This close to an earnings call, little movement in the stock can be expected. However, Active's share price has fallen 11.4% from its closing price of $6.03 on Friday (a period in which the broader markets have been relatively flat).
The only major news article that arises on a google search for Active is an article posted on Seeking Alpha by Prescience Point ("PSP")- a boutique equity research firm whose website states that it specializes in short selling.
Active ("the Company") is under a bear raid by Prescience Point Research ("PSP", "the Firm"). I believe that certain items being emphasized by PSP are not presented in an objective manner. Specifically, I believe the following and provide details as to my rationale in this post:
- I agree with PSP's analysis that Active's cash balances are not what they seem, however, Active provides sufficient disclosures for investors to incorporate this into their analysis
- PSP's claim that Active is "hemorrhaging money" is inaccurate
- PSP's claim that the Company is misrepresenting earnings is inaccurate
- The deployment of the Company's cash after its IPO has been prudent and is not indicative of a uncontrollable cash burn
- PSP's analysis of free cash flow fails exaggerates Active's negative FCF as it fails to consider the difference between maintenance capital expenditures and growth capital expenditures, and also does not incorporate the fact that Active can scale back R&D to improve free cash flow
- Active's increased line of credit is rationale and justified (PSP claims there is "no explanation" for the increase)
- PSP is clearly employing other typical tactics used by short sellers - Keep this in mind when reading the Firm's research reports. Tactics employed include:
o The timing of the release of the Firm's lengthy research reports
o Exaggeration or emphasis of events that are common to all corporations
o Using emotional vocabulary and extreme adjectives in its publicly released research reports
o Presenting and computing certain data points with methods that benefits a short-position
o PSP's firm focuses primarily on short-sell recommendations which creates a bias towards its work that must be considered when using its analysis
- Although the Firm's research appears to be affecting Active's stock price, PSP's research appears biased, exaggerates certain items, and makes some inaccurate claims. Therefore I do not put a lot of emphasis on its findings.
- Given the Company's underlying earnings profile, leading market position, "sticky" nature of its revenues, the possibility of being acquired, likely overreaction and over-selling that occurred as a result of a growth outlook that did not materialize, and the outlook for gradual longer term revenue growth in the mid-single digit range; Active appears undervalued at today's prices for patient investors.
Before I provide rationale as to why I believe certain items outlined by Prescience Point are inaccurate or exaggerated, I want to state my general view of the Company to provide additional context for this post. None of my analysis indicates nor is intended to indicate that Active is a rock-star company poised to grow at incredibly fast rates over the near to medium term. Just ask any of Active's IPO investors what they think about the Company's growth prospectus (Active's May 2011 IPO price was $15.00).
My analysis also does not indicate nor is it intended to indicate that Active has the most talented management team on the planet. Although I think the management team could help itself out by disclosing a few more items, disclosure overall and the management team's strategy appears good (not great, not poor) to me. The management team was clearly over-optimistic about its growth potential and presented an outlook to its investors that did not materialize, which has really hurt the stock since its IPO. However, I think many investors would agree that even though a company may not be expected to grow its top-line by double-digit levels and even though its management team has fumbled in the past, a company still may be worth buying depending on the circumstances. I believe this holds true for Active.
Prescience Point ("PSP") accurately describes why Active's cash balances are not what they seem. To give an example, assume that one of Active's customers (IE: the NY Marathon) charges their participants a $20.00 registration fee and agrees pay Active $2.00 for each participant that registers using the Company's services. In this example, Active collects the full $20.00 directly from each NY Marathon participant, keeps it on the Company's balance sheet for a short period of time, and eventually remits $18.00 to the NY Marathon operators ($20.00 registration fee - $2.00 fee paid to Active = $18.00 remittance to Active's customer).
Thus, the $20.00 sits on Active's balance sheet only for a short period of time, and is technically due to its customers. The amount due to its customers is called "Registration Fees Payable" ("RFP" in this post). I agree with Prescience Point, and believe RFP's should be netted against Active's cash balances.
However, it is important to realize that Active provides disclosures to inform its investors of this dynamic. Specifically, under the "Registration Fees Payable" heading on page F-11 of the Company's 2011 10-k, Active states "Cash collected on behalf of customers is included in cash and cash equivalents prior to remitting the amounts owed to the Company's customers."
Ø To the best of my knowledge, PSP does not cite these disclosures in either of Firm's two research reports issued in October 2012 and February 2013
Ø On page 8 of PSP's October 2012 research report, the Firm uses the heading "Active Has No Excess Cash. None" above the section in which PSP describes these dynamics
The simple example outlined in the last heading shows just how much cash is transferring through Active's account on an ongoing basis. PSP estimates that Active had over $1.6BN of cash move through its accounts during 2011 (see page 10 of its October 2012 report). This is much more than the Company's GAAP revenues, which were $337.4 million in the same year. Viewing these amounts simplistically, the $1.6BN can be viewed as the $20.00 fee paid by the NY Marathon participant in the prior example while the $337.4 million can be viewed as the $2.00 fee earned by Active plus smaller amounts of revenues from other services Active provides. To be clear, there are not any red-flags here. There are many businesses in different industries who report the net amount (IE: the $2.00 fee) as their GAAP Revenues (See FleetCor Technologies- FLT).
When realizing a large amount of cash flows through Active's bank accounts, the $72.7 million of Registration Fees Payable ("RFP") reported on the Company's balance sheet at the end of September appears very reasonable. By my calculations, Active's RFP Days were 19.0 days (PSP claims payables days are 20.6- I'll touch the differences in our calculations later). This also is consistent with what Active states as far as the typical time it takes for the Company to remit the full registration fee to its customers. See page 41 of ACTV's 10-k in which it states the fee is "then remitted back to the [customer] typically on a two week basis".
19-20 days is slightly longer than two weeks, but this is not significant in my opinion- especially when considering that most companies do something similar near quarter ends with their payables and timing of certain events could cause big swings in RFPs and RFP days (IE: what if a large event ended 1-day before the end of a quarter?). To me, I'm glad Active is pushing this to the limit. That's what management teams are supposed to do- place pressure on their suppliers if they have the bargaining power.
What does all this mean?
Similar to other entities that have a large amount of cash flow through their bank accounts relative to their earnings stream, Active is subject to significant working capital swings. To be clear, being exposed to working capital swings is a typical dynamic and business risk that many entities face, and is completely different than an entity that is "hemorrhaging cash".
Importantly, Active's underlying earnings as measured by Adjusted EBITDA are sufficient to cover its fixed charges. Thus, Active is not burning cash. However, it may need financing for working capital swings depending on its growth and timing issues.
Ø Read the tone of this section and the facts as I outlined them above. Then read how PSP presents this information. I'd love to hear your conclusion on this topic after you compare the two.
See the information under the heading "Financial Statements Misleading at Best, Fabricated at Worst" in PSP's October 2012 report for context on my comments on this topic.
In summary, I disagree with the significance of the change in RFP's relative to the changes "Total Due to Customers" (as described by PSP) and changes in registration volumes. Again, I believe timing of certain transactions can explain a lot of this. So long as Active's RFP days remain reasonable (which appears to be the case), I do not see this as a big red flag.
PSP also provides a detailed argument that Active is reporting a portion of the gross revenues (IE: the $20.00 in the prior example) as its GAAP revenues. On page F-8 of its 2011 10-k, Active clearly states that "Revenue recognized on a gross basis comprised 0.7%, 0% and 0% of total net revenue for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively". PSP also claims that Active should be providing these disclosures in its 10-Q's. However, given the relatively small amount of these transactions and the location of the disclosure in the 10-k, my experience is that most companies would not disclose this type of information to the public in its quarterly filings.
The majority of Active's excess cash from the IPO has been used to repay debt, acquire entities to grow, and reinvested in the business via capital expenditures and R&D. For a relatively new company (Active was only $44.2MM of revenues in 2005), this is exactly where you would want to see a company allocate its capital. Reinvesting in the Company in all of these forms is important for the long-term viability of a newly formed entity.
Ø Keep this in mind while reading PSP's discussion about the change in Active's cash position after the IPO.
Similar to the comments in the previous section, Active is a relatively new company and is reinvesting into the business. As such, break-even Free Cash Flow (Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures) should be expected, and the majority of Active's capital expenditures are likely discretionary and related to growth at this point in time. If the Company's maintenance capital expenditures were used in PSP's analysis, Active would likely be Free Cash Flow positive (unfortunately Active does not provide maintenance capex). Furthermore, Active has the ability to scale back R&D. At $61MM during 2011, a 10-20% decrease in these expenditures would generate significant free cash flow (and also improve profit margins).
Ø PSP claims that Active is "Burning Free Cash at Significant Rate" (Page 9 of October 2012 Report)
To begin, it must be emphasized that PSP elected to use Q3 2012's interest expense vs. YTD 9m 2012 interest expense for its calculations. Annualizing Active's YTD (nine-month) interest expense of $480,000 would be much less than annualizing Q3 2012's interest expense of $239,000.
Regardless of this point, there isn't any alarming information provided by this type of analysis. It does appear as if Active utilizes its $100 million revolving line of credit ("RLOC") at times in between quarter-ends. However, usage on the RLOC is clearly justified by the large working capital swings Active is exposed to (as discussed previously), and it appears as if at times the Company relies on the RLOC to fund some of the RFPs to its customers. That is not an alarming issue in my opinion.
On page 8 of its October 2012 report, PSP claims that Active "doubled its line of credit with no explanation". Again, the nature of the working capital demands created by the RFP's combined with Active's business growth provides an explanation for the increase from $50 million to $100 million. Notably, $100 million appears reasonable relative to the $72.7 million of RFP's. Also, the credit markets in the corporate lending area have been very strong (I spend my daily professional life in this space), so it is likely Active elected to take advantage of these favorable credit markets.
PSP is an Experienced Short Seller that knows all the tricks when it finds something that it believes should or could fall in price. Keep in mind that investors don't always need to be right- sometimes they just need a good enough story to tell and enough things to latch on to. All good investors are good salesman and know how to emphasize certain points to sell their story or point of view. However, like many salesman, sometimes points or facts emphasized are misunderstood or even insignificant.
A summary of the tactics employed by PSP include the following:
The timing of the release of its research reports:
Through PSP's posting on SeekingAlpha.com and the Firm's website, Tuesday was the second consecutive quarter in which PSP has released a thorough research note only a few days prior to Active's scheduled earnings announcement. PSP initiated its coverage on October 31, 2012 (one day before Active's Q3 2011 earnings release), providing a 35-page report outlining the Firm's rationale for a strong sell recommendation on Active. The timing of these releases is typical for short-sellers, as it gives companies little time to adjust the script they had been preparing and likely finalized for their already scheduled earnings call.
Using vocabulary to elicit emotion in its research
One primary key to a successful short-sell is creating enough fear for cautious investors to stay on the sidelines and cause present investors to take their money and run. One of the primary methods some short sellers use to do this is incorporate strong language in their research with extreme adjectives or bold claims, especially in their headings for certain sections. I've touched on a few of these in this post and I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about when you read PSP's reports. Here are a few more for reference:
PSP's February report includes in the title "Structural Insolvency"
"management did not reply until 6 days later" (Oct. Report- page 6)
"inexplicable irregularities" . . . "severely dislocated" . . . (Oct. Report- page 6)
"rapidly burned through its strong, post-IPO excess cash position" (Oct. Report- page 8)
"Active has no excess cash. None" (Oct. Report- page 8)
Headings such as "Red Flag Warning Signs…" Oct. Report- page 8)
Computing Data with a Bias towards their story
I briefly touched on how PSP annualized 3m interest expense vs. 9m interest expense. That is one example. Another example is that PSP uses the period-end RFP balance when computing RFP days. The best-practice is to use an average of the previous two periods. Using only the period-end results in higher RFP days, which favors PSP's story.
Prescience's primary focus is on short selling opportunities
I think excerpts from the Firm's website speak for itself as far as what it is known for:
"Together, the founders have over 25 years of combined Wall Street experience, and a significant track-record of successful short recommendations. The sole focus of our company is to conduct comprehensive fundamental research, and uncover companies that are engaging in fraudulent or misleading business practices".
Maybe they've found one in Active that's misleading, or maybe they've found one that they could sell as misleading even though it isn't. I think you know my stance on Active.

Took Profits on Apple Today
After the nearly 30% rise since late August and the "house money" syndrome in full effect due to my purchase of the stock in January of 2009 at $82.46, I decided to finally take my profits in Apple. This is not to say that I think Apple has peaked at $309.23 per share (my selling price today) - I realize it is very unlikely that I will ever sell at the exact peak and do not expect that I will have the ability to do so. Additionally, as many of you are well aware, Apple clearly has yet another winner on its hands with the iPad, iPhone sales continue to remain strong, and growth in Mac volumes is robust. So long as Apple continues to beat the quarterly earnings estimates and generate solid unit sales volumes (as it has in each quarter since at least Q1 2005), it is reasonable to expect the stock to continue to rise.
However, I believe the upside is limited for Apple, and I would be better off allocating my time towards learning about another company trading at valuations with a more favorable margin of safety and a higher ceiling for upside price appreciation.
Challenges for Apple- Half a Trillion Dollars?
Apple is now a nearly $300 billion market cap company. The important questions that I have for an entity that must constantly update its product offerings due to its reliance the rapidly changing preferences of consumers for electronic devices are can it:- Continue to grow at the same historical pace over the next 3+ years? ... or, in other words, can Apple continue to develop new products for different segments of the market that generate sales growth as successfully as its other products have in the past, and will this growth be enough to offset possible declines in its existing product offering at the time each new product is introduced? (note the 11% decline in iPod sales reported during its most recent quarter).
- Maintain its sales volumes and profit margins generated by its existing product offerings over the long term (5+ years)?...or, in other words, can Apple continue to fend off rapidly improving competition (Droid) and create the demand needed to support the prices of their premium products?
- Increase in value by another 50% or more over the next 12-24 months?... or, in other words, can Apple's stock really have a market cap of nearly half a trillion dollars? I can't help but ask myself, "Can a consumer electronics company really be worth more Exxon Mobil ($338 Billion Market Cap)?"
Growth Doesn't Continue Forever
These concerns are not mentioned to discredit the accomplishments of Apple and its management team in any manner whatsoever, or to imply that I believe they are incompetent or incapable of producing satisfactory financial performance. They are to be applauded for the proven track record of successfully developing and introducing products in a rapidly changing market- the key challenge management teams at technology companies face. The 3,200%+ increase in the company's stock from $9.30 or so in October of 2001 (when the first iPod was released) until to now reflects their accomplishments.
However, no matter how talented the management team, the fact is that all companies cannot continue to grow profits at the pace Apple has in perpetuity. In other words, Apple's growth rate will slow at some point in time. Is that point now now? Probably not (again, the iPad is clearly a winner). When will it stop? Your guess is as good as anyone else's'. The fact is, nobody knows with 100% certainty when it will slow, but I'm very confident it will at some point and I see no need to wait until that time is realized. Today, I literally put my money where my mouth is.
Until growth actually slows, everyone will continue to guess when the point will be, and (whether they actually model or project future sales and profitability, or by blindly rationalizing their purchase by saying to themselves "it will go up!") everyone will continue to try to estimate a terminal value for the company at that estimated point in time. But, like all growth stocks that stop growing, when earnings growth slows (IE: when that point is reached), the stock price will fall and will fall significantly (10-20%+ in 1-3 months is very likely).
Guidance for Recent Purchasers of the Stock
For those of you who recently bought Apple's stock, feel free to hold on to the stock so long as it continues to beat quarterly earnings estimates. I would love to do this, but I feel as if doing so would be greedy on my part. Like I said earlier, I'm not saying $309 is the peak, the company clearly has a winner on its hands with the iPad, and the stock will continue to rise as long as it beats earnings and sales volumes estimates. However, like all growth stocks, the first time it misses earnings, get out and get out fast. Remember how many people loved RIMM from 2003 to 2008? Look at that stock's performance after June 2008 when it first missed earnings estimates, and also since March 2010 when it again missed estimates. I think the charts tell the story.
Disclosure: Sold Apple. Do not have any position on RIMM or XOM. No other conflicts of interest exist.
BAC high up on the radar. Need to check up on some valuations, but looking like a great LT Buy. How many more times can they be kicked down? Oct 21, 2010

ABSTRACT: Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) is a marker of breast cancer stem cells, and the expression of ALDH1 may be a prognostic factor of poor clinical outcome. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition may produce cells with stem-cell-like properties promoted by transcription factors. We investigated the expression of ALDH1 and transcription factors in both primary and metastatic lesions, and prognostic value of them in breast cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM). Forty-seven breast cancer patients with ALNM who underwent surgery at Okayama University Hospital from 2002 to 2008 were enrolled. We retrospectively evaluated the levels of ALDH1 and transcription factors, such as Snail, Slug and Twist, in both primary and metastatic lesions by immunohistochemistry. In primary lesions, the positive rate of ALDH1, Snail, Slug and Twist was 19, 49, 40 and 26 %, respectively. In lymph nodes, that of ALDH1, Snail, Slug and Twist was 21, 32, 13 and 23 %, respectively. The expression of ALDH1 or transcription factors alone was not significantly associated with a poor prognosis. However, co-expression of ALDH1 and Slug in primary lesions was associated with a shorter DFS (P = 0.009). The evaluation of the co-expression of ALDH1 and transcription factors in primary lesions may be useful in prognosis of node-positive breast cancers.Breast Cancer 01/2015; DOI:10.1007/s12282-015-0583-1 · 1.51 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in the United States, and survival rates are lower for patients with metastases and/or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC; ER, PR, and Her2 negative). Understanding the mechanisms of cancer metastasis is therefore crucial to identify new therapeutic targets and develop novel treatments to improve patient outcomes. A potential target is the TWIST1 transcription factor, which is often overexpressed in aggressive breast cancers and is a master regulator of cellular migration through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Here, we demonstrate an siRNA-based TWIST1 silencing approach with delivery using a modified poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer. Our results demonstrate that SUM1315 TNBC cells efficiently take up PAMAM-siRNA complexes, leading to significant knockdown of TWIST1 and EMT-related target genes. Knockdown lasts up to one week after transfection and leads to a reduction in migration and invasion, as determined by wound healing and transwell assays. Furthermore, we demonstrate that PAMAM dendrimers can deliver siRNA to xenograft orthotopic tumors and siRNA remains in the tumor for at least four hours after treatment. These results suggest that further development of dendrimer-based delivery of siRNA for TWIST1 silencing may lead to a valuable adjunctive therapy for patients with TNBC.BioMed Research International 02/2015; 2015:382745.

ABSTRACT: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), an important process during embryonic development, is reportedly exploited during tumour progression. Deregulation of EMT-related molecules has been shown in many malignancies, including breast carcinoma. We aim to investigate the clinical relevance and prognostic significance of EMT proteins, Twist and Foxc2, in breast phyllodes tumours (PTs). The study cohort comprised 271 PTs diagnosed from 2003 to 2010. Of these, 188 (69.4 %) were benign, 60 (22.1 %) borderline, and 23 (8.5 %) malignant. Immunohistochemistry for Twist and Foxc2 was performed on tissue microarray sections. Percentage of tumour cells stained was evaluated and correlated with clinicopathological parameters and clinical outcome. Twist and Foxc2 stromal nuclear expression was associated with tumour grade (P = 0.038 and 0.012). Foxc2 stromal nuclear expression was positively correlated with epithelial expression (P < 0.001), tumour relapse, and metastasis (P = 0.037). Furthermore, stromal nuclear immunoreactivity of Twist and Foxc2 was interrelated (P < 0.001). Tumours expressing Foxc2 and those co-expressing both Twist and Foxc2 revealed a shorter time to recurrence (P < 0.001 and 0.001) and death (P = 0.044 and 0.015). Twist and Foxc2 stromal expression in PTs was significantly correlated with tumour grade and worse histological features. In addition, expression of Foxc2 and co-expression of Twist and Foxc2 in the stroma of PTs contributed to poorer prognosis. Clinical relevance of EMT-related molecules may be worthy of further investigation in PTs.Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 02/2015; DOI:10.1007/s10549-015-3296-4 · 4.20 Impact Factor

While it is nice to know that we are ranked No.1 among mid-sized cities in Canada, one wonders if the impacts of these "slashed" surgeries were factored into the ratings.
Yes, we need better provincial funding levels, but a big chunk of the money needed will come from Burlington and area taxpayers.
Come to think of it, so do provincial and federal funds — they're ALL taxpayer dollars. Governments don't have any money they didn't first take from us.
Not long ago, numerous other (residents) and I were grumbling about tax dollars going for 'nice-to-have' versus 'need-to-have' projects.
Now, here we are — $40-plus million spent on a performing arts centre; $15 million on a pier to nowhere; lesser amounts spent on artwork adorning a railway underpass or to decorate outside of the BPAC; ongoing seven-figure operating subsidies for the BPAC and on and on.
How can we go, hat in hand, to the province for better hospital funding when we fritter away taxpayer dollars on unnecessary frills?
And why do we need to spend money on "rebranding" JBMH to JBH? Everyone I know calls it "Jo Brant," always have, always will.
The rebranding cost could have paid for more nurses.

Now is a great time to start looking at markets to get back into. Many warcraft players are starting to level alternate races and professions again. One of the most popular to level is an enchanter. As an enchanter levels his craft, he has to create the rods used for the next level enchants.
Each rod has it's own material requirements and is many times in high demand. Many Blacksmiths look at the big ticket items for their sales. But crafting and selling the plain rods can augment your sales.
Fel Iron and Titanium bars become difficult to find at times. Few are doing the Outland and Wrath Expansion areas, making these two items will become in demand on many servers. These also might be good targets to use both a craft and long term storage option. Titanium Bars are also able to be transmute from 8x Saronite bars by an alchemist. Allowing you to have two paths to obtaining these materials.
These type of niche markets might seem trivial in regards to your larger cost items. But small and medium profit sales can add up many times to one large ticket sale. In baseball 4 singles still score the same run as one home run with the bases empty.

Great list, I am leveling another enchanter and there have been no rods on the AH so this is a helpful single reference.
But please stop thinking that Plaguelands is a Thorium area, it is a Iron/Mithril area, just look at http://www.wowhead.com/object=324/small-thorium-vein and there is nothing in Plaguelands at all, Swamp of Sorrows, Blasted Lands, Un'Goro, Winterspring, Silithus are the places to go.

Merrimack, NH—The merger agreement between computer resellers PC Connection (NASDAQ:PCCC) and Kent, CT-based Cyberian Outpost (NASDAQ:COOL) appears to be on shaky ground. PC Connection announced today that if Cyberian Outpost is unable to fulfill the net worth condition—defined as its assets minus liabilities—the merger agreement announced on May 30 will not be consummated. Cyberian Outpost has informed PC Connection that it may not be able to fulfill this net worth condition; according to PC Connection's senior vice president of finance/chief financial officer Mark Gavin, Cyberian Outpost has until Aug. 31 to hit the net worth requirement—part of several conditions relating to the deal's closing. Gavin says that PC Connection was originally drawn to Outpost.com because of its strong brand name, and its joint venture with electronics retailer Tweeter Home Entertainment Group. Outpost.com provides Tweeter and other partners with e-commerce services such as site design, site maintenance, order management and fulfillment.

FRIDAY, Oct. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Leflunomide is effective for the treatment of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in daily clinical practice, according to a study published online Oct. 6 in Arthritis Care & Research.
To assess the effectiveness and safety of leflunomide, Frank Behrens, M.D., from Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University in Frankfurt, Germany, and colleagues conducted a prospective, multinational 24-week observational study involving 514 adult patients (mean age, 50.7 years; mean disease duration, 6.1 years) with active PsA who began treatment with leflunomide. The Psoriatic Arthritis Response Criteria (PsARC) was used to assess response.
The researchers found that, in the primary effectiveness analysis, at 24 weeks, 380 of 440 patients (86.4 percent) achieved a PsARC response. Tender and swollen joint scores and counts improved significantly, as did patient and physician global assessments, fatigue, pain, skin disease, dactylitis, and nail lesions. The rate of treatment discontinuation was 12.3 percent. Adverse drug reactions occurred in 62 patients (12.1 percent), with three considered serious (two increased liver enzymes and one hypertensive crisis).
"On the basis of these data, we conclude that leflunomide is effective and has a favorable safety profile in the therapy of PsA in daily clinical practice," the authors write. "Its ability to alleviate joint, skin, and other disease manifestations; manageable safety profile; and relatively low price make leflunomide a valuable option for the treatment of PsA."
Several authors disclosed financial ties to sanofi-aventis, which funded the study.

Tukur tasks governors on performance
PDP National Chairman, Dr Bamanga Tukur
| credits:
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Bamanga Tukur, has called on governors to surpass the achievements of their predecessors.
Tukur said this when he led the the PDP National Working Committee on a courtesy visit to Kwara State Governor Abdulfataih Ahmed in Abuja on Friday.
He said good performance of the governors was the only way the country could develop to the satisfaction of the electorate.
Tukur said, "Every father wants his child to achieve more than what he achieved and every child also aspires to be greater than the father.
"We have come to do better than the previous team. We expect every governor to do better than his predecessor as that is how the country will improve and grow."
He praised Ahmed for focusing on agriculture.
The governor said, "There is no substitute for experience.
"We are happy to identify with you. We thank God for making you the chairman of the party.
"We are happy we are part of the PDP. The PDP has done very well in the last years given the fact that it is a party hurriedly put together.
"From 1999 till date, the PDP has done well given where the country is coming from. Against all odds, we are moving forward."
On the security challenges facing the country, Ahmed said it was not peculiar to Nigeria.
He also said the state government was partnering all security agencies to check crime in the state.

Are you shocked that the Jayhawks lost to the Wildcats?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on January 15, 2006
"I wouldn't say I'm shocked, but I'm upset. They really didn't need to lose to K-State, and it broke their winning streak."
"I'm not. I believe in coach Wooldridge, and I just felt like we finally had the talent to get it done."
"Shocked and disappointed. I've been to three KU games in my life, and they've lost all three times."
"Very. Just because we had higher expectations of the Jayhawks, I guess."
"Yes, I actually am. I never thought we would beat them at Allen Fieldhouse."
"Yes, I was. I was very sad to be at the game. I didn't like the K-State fans making noise in our house."
"Yes. We came all the way from Indiana to watch the Jayhawks, and yeah, we were a little shocked."

Hey buddy, considering the pattern, DON'T make it to a fourth KU game... and maybe not the fifth, sixth, seventh, etc. Thanks.
Purell 9 years, 3 months ago
Shocked? No, I expect Bill Self to blow every streak we have. He can't coach, can't recruit anyone that will stay four years. He couldn't retain the players we had and he's dropped us out of the to 25 for the first time in over 20 years. I didn't care for Roy, but Bill is much worse.

What D1 basketball program have you coached? How about high school? Jr. High? Pickup ball in the drive-way?
Give the coach a chance to establish a program. Remember, he was "given" a couple of criminals to deal with as well as needing to clean-up a few other things.
One game or even one season does not establish a college program. Go learn the game, man.

b N c,
Come on, I know you're smarter than that.
Look at Bill's plan when he took over. He took over a team that was recruited and trained to run, but did he take advantage of it?
Look at the KU-KSU game. Did he tell Chalmers, "Hey that was a stupid shot, don't do it again?"
The best KSU player was sitting out for fouls and we throw away a 12 point lead. Our offense couldn't penetrate their zone. All we had to do was hold on to the ball. Bill is too tenative. These players need the clear explicit direction because they are so young and they aren't getting it. I could go on and on, but suffice to say I've got even_money you've never coached.

I don't like to see KU lose any games, especially to the Wildcats. The Hawks are still a young team and will continue to get better. There is too much talent not to. Despite the disappointment I still find 2 things to be positive about. One - the win probably saved Woolridge's job for a little longer which is good for Hawk fans in the long run. Two - KSU still hasn't beaten a top 25 team !! The glass can still be half full... Go Jayhawks...
juscin3 9 years, 3 months ago
I was there at the game. I was really exicted to see our team play. But I did get disappointed in seeing them lose. We were by the K-State fans and it was funny seeing them try to out yell the jayhawk fans. Every time they did, we just yelled to our hearts content and out won them by the yelling match. At lest we won at something!!! LOL It's great to see rival teams play, but its even better when our Jayhawks win! Teams are goin to lose from time to time, but its great just seein them try. :)

Hey guys (and gals) I don't really care about what happened with the Jayhawks in Lawrence but I sure care what happened last nite in Seattle, Wash. with the Thunderbirds. (Hockey) Actually the game was in Portland, Ore. and the Thunderbirds won in a sudden death overtime score. And why do I care about that. Because my lovely grandson, Rob Klinkhammer now plays for Seattle Tbirds. He and two team mates were traded on Mon. had their cars tuned up, packed bags, said goodbye to family and girlfriends and headed out Tues. morning for a horrendous trip from Lethbridge AB in terrible road conditions. And we were able to watch the game on this computer. It was so exciting. Rob got a lot of ice time and when they made that last goal in the overtime, the camera zoomed in and we got a good view of our Robbie. He is a very big 19 yr. old. I say whoopie and please excuse my not caring about the jayhawks. Actually I have a little brass Jayhawk sitting right here in front of me on my desk courtesy of E_M
Hong_Kong_Phooey 9 years, 3 months ago
No, I'm not shocked. Not with the way the Jayhawks are playing this year. I'll tell you what I am frustrated with. Brandon Rush. All of the Rush boys (Kareem, JaRon, Brandon) all seem to have unbelievable basketball talent. Unfortunately, Brandon seems to be just like his older brothers in that he's lazy. He shouldn't have to be bribed into playing hard each game when he's playing at a Div. I school!!

The league is the Western Hockey League WHL and there are 20 teams in 4 divisions. This is major Junior hockey for 16 to 20 yrs. olds. I call it sort of semi pro as they do get paid, not much but some. And the billet home where the boys stay gets a food allowance.The boys come from as far away as the Czech Republic to play.
The US division is Portland, Seattle, Everett, TriCities and Spokane. There are 3 Canadian divisions. There is also an Eastern Hockey League and in the spring there is the Memorial Cup game for the National championship
They get pretty good crowds at the games. The official count in Portland last nite was 11,733 fans. That is not peanuts. It is very good hockey. Hockey is a very exciting game, says I. :o) Please forgive the puffed up chest of a proud grama. :o)

After watching Bill Self the last couple of seasons, I am not surprised at who Kansas loses to anymore. Self has taken one of the top programs in the country and turned it into mediocity at best. What's really surprising that people in and around Kansas aren't calling for this guy's head. You keep talking about how he came into the program with someone else's recruits....so did Roy at North Carolina. Self needs to go and Jayhawks fans need to quit making excuses for him.

and, if I read Punkrockmom's punditry right, ku basketball/men lost because the football team had a better season?
or, did ku basketball/men lose because there's only a ku/men/football team?
therefore, if we want a winning ku basketball/men team, we must start now to field a Ku/football/women team! okay, let's do it!
whaaaha wonder what kinda ticket sales you'd get for their games?
Prospector: your blowdrier comment, LOL!
badger 9 years, 3 months ago
Shocked, no.
Amused, yeah, pretty much. I spent long enough listening to KU fans get arrogant about their program that it's kind of nice to see the wind get taken out of their sails a bit.
Of course, this isn't nearly as funny as Bucknell. I got laughs out of the Bucknell game for weeks, because I'd say, "Man, shame about the basketball this year, huh?" and then just watch whoever I was talking to go off on "(&(&^%$@#* BUCKNELL!"
For me, I don't follow sports. Fan watching is my participatory activity. My favorite fan to watch is the underdog whose team just pulled off the game of the century to win it all. That warms my little fuzzy heart to watch them running around, giggling like maniacs and hugging each other. My second favorite fan to follow, though, is the fan of the mighty brought low through sloppy mistakes and overconfidence. There's just something viscerally pleasant about that level of resentful unfulfilled entitlement.

RonBurgandy 9 years, 3 months ago
There will no longer be any streak after March 4th. It has been nothing but downhill since Roy left. The season is halfway over, the young card doesn't play as much now. Kentucky looked like a good win, until they lost to Vandy at home and then again to Alabama. It's just sad. Bill doesn't look like as good a coach as I had thought in the beginning.
badger 9 years, 3 months ago
omb - oh, you better believe it. It's hysterical, how suddenly everyone who's ever driven through campus on his way to somewhere else is a 'diehard Longhorn fan for life'. If everyone who claimed they'd always believed had really gone to the games they say, UT would have had to triple the size of its stadium.
Unfrumpy, you misinterpreted what I said. I wasn't talking about KSU fans when I said the underdogs. I couldn't possibly care less about KSU fans, because they're fairly predictable, pedestrian, and arrogant in their own right. I was talking about two separate classes of fans, not specifically a division in the fans at the game. The 'underdogs' I was talking about are best evidenced by the time when I was in junior high and the high school pulled off an incredible victory in the last ten seconds of a hard-fought game against their time-honored rivals to get their first trip ever to State. It being Texas high school football, I was able to witness several thousand people immediately dropping to their knees to give loud and impassioned thanks to God, along with the screaming, and the crying, and the hugging, and the cheerleaders being hoisted up onto the goalposts, made all the better by the fact that they'd had to fight that year for every single win.
