Maybach - the German automotive brand in the concern DaimlerChrysler. Produces luxury Executive exclusive cars.Brand history began in 1921 when a talented designer Wilhelm Maybach (Wilhelm Maybach) designed his first car model W-3. This model was equipped with a 6-cylinder engine обьемом 5,7 HP and became the first German production car had the brakes on all wheels. The following model W-5, published in 1926, included a обьемом 7,0 HP, which allowed her to reach the speed of 121 km/H. In the spring of 1929, barely celebrated Easter in Канштатте, Wilhelm Maybach, suddenly fell ill and died two days. A company headed by his son, Karl Maybach.Carl decided to replace the 6-cylinder engine V12 engine displacement 6922 cm3. The first time it was established on the model of DS-7".
A year later, in the mid 1930, was presented to her heir, received the prestigious title of "Zeppelin" (Zeppelin). This was the most luxurious and at that time a technically perfect German car 30s of the last century. In those years the elements of the car's design created taking into account the individual needs of the customer, so that the same car was not. The model was equipped with a V12 engine обьемом 8,0 HP (200 PS) and a 5-speed gearbox, which in 1938 replaced the 7-speed. She went on sale in 1931 with the cost 29500 REICHSMARK. Volume of issue: 183 hire.W6 produced from 1931 to 1933 with six-cylinder engine from 5 W. From 1934 he also came with a twin overdrive transmission (W 6 DSG). Both options have a longer wheelbase compared to 5 W. Issue volume: 90 cars.
Inexpensive model DSH ("Doppel-Sechs-Halbe" - "half of the twelve cylinder") produced from 1930 to 1937. It was equipped with a 5.2-liter six-cylinder engine with a capacity of 130 PS Volume of issue: 34 cars. Some versions of the models of this type were supplied with new aerodynamic bodies, which are later used for the series "SW", produced in the period 1935-1941's. It included the model of the "SW-35", "SW-38" and "SW-42" with engines and engine displacement of 3.5, 3.8 and 4.2-litre respectively. These were the last constructed in the Maybach. Between 1921 and 1941 years the company Maybach-Motorenbau has released about 1800 luxury cars. Additionally to the manufactured machines, which were made in a factory statistics, annually were built from 5 up to 10 cars for exhibitions. All the machines were very expensive, and among them were two completely identical copies. Today in the world there is still 152 pre-war Maybach.During the war the company Maybach produced exclusively tank engines (about 140 thousand pieces). After the war, Karl Maybach worked in captivity by the French, developing aircraft engines. In the 50s again led his company produces various stationary, marine and railway engines.In 1961, the law on the Maybach bought the company, Daimler Benz, which in the late 90s decided to revive the forgotten mark. Thus, after 60 years of nothingness legendary brand is experiencing a rebirth.In 1997, Mercedes-Benz showed car Maybach, the main ideas which are embodied in serial models of 2002.

"I am so happy with the draw," Benatia enthused. "I wished for us to play Roma so badly so I could see my friends again. Those will be wonderful matches."
Bayern and Roma will also have Manchester City and CSKA Moscow to contend with in Group E and Philipp Lahm was quick to point out that Pep Guardiola's men will have their work cut out in reaching the last 16.
"That is not an easy group," the Bavarians' skipper stated. "We play three very good teams, including the English champions, Manchester City.
"These are tough tasks, especially away from home."
However, Bayern attacking midfielder Thomas Muller is optimistic that the German titleholders have enough quality to progress to the knockout stage.
"This is a challenging group," the Germany international staged. "This will be no walk in the park, but we are optimistic we will go through."
Bayern winger Arjen Robben is also looking forward to some mouthwatering matchups in Group E.
"We got wonderful opponents," the Dutchman added. "Of course it will be difficult again. But there are great nights ahead of us and we are looking forward to them."

This resolution potentially touches upon a wide range of issues spawned from the controversy surrounding global warming, dependency upon fossil fuels, macro and microeconomics, and the role of government. Briefly, a carbon tax is a tax imposed upon carbon emissions which are usually released by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil (and its by-products) and natural gas). Combustion of carbon produces compounds such as carbon dioxide which is a so-called "greenhouse gas" (GHG) blamed for global warming. In fact, this is the primary issue being addressed by this resolution: the idea that a tax on carbon emissions can serve as an effective means to reduce the production of carbon emissions and thus alter the trend toward global-warming and its associated harms. Just to clarify, the tax may also be levied on carbon in other forms since it is not always easy to directly measure targeted emissions. For example, an oil company's carbon products are burned in consumer vehicles which would be very difficult to directly measure for tax purposes. So, the government can instead tax the crude oil itself, noting a defined relationship between the amount of crude converted to consumer products and the amount of emissions those consumer products release.
The topic of taxation can be extremely complex and the complexity would be multiplied if the resolution had been worded, "Resolved: States should adopt a carbon tax." U.S. students, therefore, can focus solely on the United States and the system of taxation they may be somewhat vaguely familiar with since they encounter it whenever they purchase consumer products. Since the discussion of taxes can be quite involved (especially in the U.S. where consumers and corporations employ multitudes of tax professionals to help them wade through the complexity) the debaters approach to the topic should be measured. Public Forum debate is specifically aimed toward the non-specialist judge, in other words, everyday parents from all types of backgrounds. Since most judges are tax-paying adults they already have a practical understanding of taxes and their effect on spending and more broadly, the economy. Also, remember, the extended knowledge many judges will possess on the topic of taxation will come, not from economists and professors of economics, but from politicians and pundits. This is not a bad thing. It is a normal thing and debaters should adjust their contentions appropriately. Besides, four minutes is a very short time in which to present complex data.
In my opinion, the role of government is not a trivial side-issue in this resolution although it may lead to a lot of non-topical, Lincoln-Douglas-like argumentation. Nevertheless, one may consider the carbon tax as a kind of punitive action, designed to penalize carbon consumers and there is always the question of what should the government do with the tax money? I think it is clear the federal government has an interest in regulating various kinds of emissions which travel across state lines and affect the well-being of citizens. But I can tell you that many policy debate counter-plans have effectively argued that these kinds of federal policies harm federalism and are best managed by state governments and this would in-fact be a legitimate Con argument if counter-plans could be run without the Pro team screaming about abuse and citing NSDA rules. Proponents of the carbon tax will not see it as a punishment for carbon emission. It will be presented in a more positive light as an incentive to reduce carbon emissions and develop alternative sources for energy as well as providing a lucrative revenue stream.
Discussion of alternative energy sources is explicitly linked to the topic of U.S. dependency on fossil fuels in general, and dependency upon foreign sources of fossil fuels specifically. There are national security interests at stake when we talk about dependency upon foreign oil and the debate could easily fall off the cliff of topicality, although it would certainly be a very interesting descent. Still, I do think the Pro can leverage advantages from reducing carbon emissions such as breaking dependency on foreign oil, and a myriad of feel-good potentials such as saving polar-bears from extinction or mitigating any number of harms arising from runaway, global warming.
The United States federal government
The USFG, as any policy debater can tell you is the combined branches of executive, legislative and judicial. I think we can understand that taxes are established by laws enacted by the Congress (legislative branch), signed and enforced by the executive branch and adjudicated by the courts (judicial branch). This arrangement is in keeping with the principle of the separation of powers and "checks and balances" designed to prevent one branch from assuming more power than the constitution allows. I don't think we need to spend time defining nor discussing how it works except when it may directly apply to the implementation and enforcement of the carbon tax.
Some may question, why not just define "should adopt" rather than separately define should? While there are some definitions of should which may suggest an obligatory requirement in order to fulfill some duty to moral standards, my reason for isolating the word has another purpose. Use of the word should (as a suggested action or if you prefer, an obligation) permits the assumption Pro has a kind of "fiat" power. Policy kids are taught fiat is Latin for "let it be" which prevents Con from arguing that such a tax will never be passed. The Pro must be able to take a position which permits substantive debate on the merits or harms of the carbon tax. If the Con is permitted to undermine that ground and claim the tax will never pass, then the debate will center around the feasibility of tax passage which is not the intent of the resolution. "Should" permits Pro to take the position, the federal government can and will pass such a tax and so, with that assumption secure, let us now debate the implications.
For this word, I will use one of the meanings supplied by Merriam-Webster: to accept formally and put into effect. Basically, adopting a tax means legally establishing and implementing the tax.
carbon tax
According to Merriam-Webster, tax, as a noun, is "a charge usually of money imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes". A carbon tax, in this context is a federally mandated cost attached to the emission of by-products of carbon combustion or more generally the acquisition or use of carbon products which eventual result release of targeted emissions.
World Bank:
A carbon tax is a form of explicit carbon pricing; it refers to a tax directly linked to the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, often expressed as a value per tonne CO2 equivalent (per tCO2e). Carbon taxes provide certainty in regard to the marginal cost faced by emitters per tCO2e, but do not guarantee a maximum level of emission reductions, unlike an emissions trading scheme. However, this economic instrument can be used to achieve a cost‐effective reduction in emissions. Since a carbon tax puts a price on each tonne of GHG emitted, it sends a price signal that gradually cause a market response across an entire economy, creating incentives for emitters to shift to less greenhouse‐gas intensive ways of production and ultimately resulting in reduced emissions. [src: World Bank (undated)]
Because other proposals for inducing reductions in carbon emissions have been proposed I think I should at least review one of the proposals that has been discussed in Congress. The so-called Cap-and-Trade proposal garnered serious consideration and has been adopted by some nations. Under this proposal, the government establishes overall emissions quotas (the cap) for various industries or sources and then requires the purchase of permits which grant rights to release the controlled gases in quantities specified by the permits. Any entity which wishes to increase its permitted allocation may then buy (or trade) additional allocations from other permit holders. The theory is market forces driven by supply and demand will set the price and provide incentive for industry to find alternative sources of energy. Of course the authority can manipulate the market by adjusting the caps periodically. It is believed that some industries will be able to find ways to reduce emissions quickly and cheaply relative to others and thus the early deductions in overall emissions will be made at the least cost as opposed to laws which mandate specific reductions across broad categories of industries. The carbon tax does not impose any caps. It simply imposes a cost to carbon usage which will also drive the market to seek alternatives. And once again, of course, the government can adjust the tax rate as political expediency demands. I am sure my explanation is overly simplified but those who desire may research more deeply.

Things to Know About Church Fellowship and Its Importance
You know really well that worshipping Jesus with others can be a very important thing that you can do. This plays that indispensable role to rekindle your spiritual life and to keep it burning too. The corporate worship may bring together prayer, fellowship and God's Word.
You have to keep in mind that true worship is an experience of the heart and this is not a way to any other thing. Hence, it is very important that you get to know the benefits that you could get when you are in a regular corporate worship and also what focus the minds and hearts need to pursue in the moment.
You have to know that there is an element of worship and Christianity which you are not able to experience in your private worship or when you are just watching worship. There are blessings and also graces that God would give only when you met with other believers. There are more that could be given but here are some that you would experience uniquely when it comes to corporate worship.
Something that you could have is awakening. People would usually come into church fellowship with a sense of spiritual fog. On the rough week, you may get disoriented to the reality and also the things which are truly important. However, corporate worship is really powerful in awakening the spiritual fire. If you are in church, there is vigor and also warmth that you won't experience in the private worship.
The second benefit is there is community dynamic and this means not just meeting the good desires for belonging and a share mission of fellowship but also offering such catalyst for your assurance in what you believe in.
What you can also get from fellowship is joy. The secret of this joy in corporate fellowship isn't only self-forgetfulness or to put such positively, becoming preoccupied with Jesus and His glory but also the knowledge that you aren't just the one who wants to make your soul satisfied in Jesus.
Moreover, in a church fellowship, you can learn a lot of things. What this means is that you will learn the things that are not taught in the Bible yet are done in other churches and such would help you identify which is the cult. As you get to know of these things, then you could focus yourself on God as well as the things that you should do in order to please Him. In fellowship, getting to know more about God's Word is quite important. Through this, you can get a common understanding of the things that must be done to live such life honoring the Master.

Adobe Reader hacker attacks rapidly increasing
Add to del.icio.us Digg this
January 5, 2010
One more time, potential hackers are targeting Adobe Reader with an unusually sophisticated attack. Last week, Internet security firm McAfee predicted that Adobe's PDF Reader will be the most attacked software in 2010.
Adobe's PDF Reader software uses what's known as egg-hunting shellcode to compress the first phase of the malicious payload into just 38 bytes, a tiny size that's designed to thwart anti-virus detection. As a result, just four of the 41 major anti-virus programs detect the attack more than six days after the exploit surfaced, according to some analysis from Virus Total.
The shellcode then loads an obfuscated binary file contained in the PDF file that installs PoisonIvy, a backdoor client used to maintain control over infected personal computers.
"Not only was this a very interesting example of a malicious PDF document carrying a sophisticated virus, but it also revealed the length attackers are willing to go to in order to make their malware as hard to detect as possible, not only for the anti-virus vendors, but also for victims," wrote Bojan Zdrnja, a SANS-Center worker who analyzed the exploit.
Just to make the attack even harder for end users to detect, the obfuscated binary even runs a third executable file that does nothing more than open a benign file called baby.pdf on the infected machine. Zdrnja believes this is done to deflect attention and prevent users from figuring out their PC has just been compromised.
Adobe has said today that a proper security patch wouldn't come until late next week, the same day Microsoft is slated to release its next installment of security fixes. The vulnerability, which is classified as CVE-2009-4324, has been under targeted attack for more than three weeks.
Since then, white hat hackers have also added a security exploit to the Metasploit framework for enterprise perimeter penetration testers.
The PDF documents were distributed through e-mails that were specifically targeted at an unnamed organization, Zdrnja said. Based on the metadata found in the PDF compromised document, it originated in China and was produced on December 29, 2009.
Overall, the wide availability of exploits targeting now-patched vulnerabilities suggests that a significant portion of users don't run the most recent version of the programs.
These latest "in-the-wild attacks" are bound to add fuel to critics who say Adobe software, which runs on well more than 95 percent of the world's PCs and corporate workstations, needs to be better screened for such security vulnerabilities.
Adobe says it is currently in the process of designing a new security patch updater that will fix vulnarabilities in Adobe Reader, Acrobat Reader and Flash without requiring user interaction.
Beta users are slated to begin testing it around Jan. 21. We will keep you updated.
Additionally, Adobe has also pledged to improve the overall security of Reader and Acrobat by using software "fuzzers" and other such tools to proactively discover bugs that can be exploited.
Since then, hackers have beat Adobe in spotting new critical vulnerabilities at least twice, including the latest attacks in December.

Personality is associated with self-rated health, but prior studies have not examined associations with preference-based measures. We hypothesized similar associations would exist with preference-based health.
We analyzed baseline data from chronically ill individuals enrolled in a self-management intervention. We conducted regression analyses with the EQ-5D summary index score and dimension scores (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) as dependent variables, The key independent variables were NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) personality factors (Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness), adjusting for age, gender, educational level, minority status, and chronic conditions.
Of 415 participants, 245 (59%) had ≥2 chronic conditions, 384 (94%) completed the NEO-FFI and 397 (96%) the EQ-5D. After adjustment, Neuroticism was associated with EQ-5D summary index scores [−0.04 per 1 SD increase in Neuroticism (95% CI −0.06, −0.01)]. Neuroticism [AOR 2.99 (95% CI 2.06, 4.35; P < 0.001)] and Openness [1.32 (95% CI 1.00, 1.75; P = 0.05)] were associated with worse anxiety/depression scores, while Conscientiousness was associated with better usual activities scores [0.66 (95% CI 0.49, 0.89; P = 0.01)].
The associations between personality factors and self-rated health appear to extend to preference-based measures. Future studies should explore whether personality affects preference-based health estimates in cost-effectiveness analyses.
Self-rated health is an increasingly important health outcome as people live longer with chronic disabling conditions [1]. A number of studies have demonstrated significant associations between personality characteristics and self-rated health [2-18]. Most have employed the Five Factor Model (FFM), a personality framework that has resulted from over seven decades of research [19]. The personality factors in the FFM are Neuroticism, which reflects distress-proneness, chronic negative emotions, and stress reactivity; Extraversion, or positive mood, sociability, and vigor; Openness to Experience (Openness), entailing interest in novel ideas and experiences, and aesthetic/intellectual sensibilities; Agreeableness, reflecting trust, altruism, and amicability; and Conscientiousness, which involves reliability, diligence, and achievement-orientation. These five personality factors capture the major axes of psychological and behavioral variation in humans, and each has been independently associated with a number of important health behaviors and outcomes [20-27], including self-rated health. Specifically, lower levels of self-reported health have been noted in individuals with higher levels of Neuroticism[4-8, 10-18]. and/or lower levels of Conscientiousness [8, 10, 11, 13], Agreeableness [8, 13, 15, 16], Extraversion [2-6, 8, 10, 13, 16, 18], and/or Openness [6, 8, 9, 11, 16].
Previous studies demonstrating FFM factor/self-rated health associations have employed non-preference-based self-rated health measures. While one might hypothesize similar associations would exist between FFM personality factors and preference-based health, this remains unexamined. It is also not clear whether any associations between self-rated health and personality would remain significant after adjusting for other patient characteristics known to influence preference-based health scores, such as socio-demographic factors [28-31] and medical conditions/diagnoses [29, 30, 32].
Elucidating the interrelationships among patient FFM personality factors, socio-demographic and disease-related factors, and preference-based health assessments is important because preference-based health measures are increasingly being used as primary outcome measures in both observational studies [33, 34] and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) [35, 36]. Additionally, utility scores derived from preference-based health measures are used to derive quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), the denominator in cost-effectiveness ratios used in cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) [37]. If significant FFM factor/preference-based health associations persisted after adjusting for other characteristics known to influence preference-based health, it would suggest a heretofore unrecognized yet potentially important source of bias. In other words, QALYs and the CEAs that employ them may be affected by variance in psychological characteristics beyond the individual variation in specific health preferences they are intended to capture. Such bias might reduce the external validity of RCTs and the CEAs that rely on their findings if, for example, the status of one or more personality factors differed in a trial sample as compared with the general population of patients to which one would like to generalize the findings of the trial. Prior research demonstrates enrollment and/or attrition bias driven by psychological variables [38-41], including FFM personality factors [42], may indeed affect at least some RCTs. Personality bias could similarly threaten the external validity of observational studies, and is also likely to limit their internal validity since group assignment is non-random.
To further address these issues, we examined associations between FFM personality factors and preference-based health at baseline among participants in a RCT of the Homing in on Health (HIOH) self-efficacy enhancing intervention, a home delivery variant of the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) [43]. The study sample included primary care patients aged 40 and older suffering from one or more chronic diseases, a sample with enough active medical illness to permit meaningful study of personality influences on patient self-rated health. Whereas the CDSMP is provided to small groups of individuals in centralized locations, our one-to-one, home-delivered adaptation was designed to make the CDSMP content available to those less able to participate in the original program, due to functional limitations, transportation problems, or discomfort with group settings. The overall goals of the project were to determine whether in-home and/or telephone versions of HIOH would enhance self-efficacy and thereby improve health outcomes, including self-rated health, for people with chronic conditions.
We employed an extensively validated measure of personality, the NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) [44], and the widely employed and well-validated EQ-5D preference-based self-rated health measure [45]. We used baseline data from our RCT participants to determine whether significant associations existed among FFM personality factors and EQ-5D scores, after adjusting for participant socio-demographic factors and medical conditions. Based on the prior FFM and self-rated health literature, we hypothesized higher levels of Neuroticism, and lower levels of Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Openness, would each independently be associated with less favorable EQ-5D summary index scores. We also explored associations between FFM factor and EQ-5D dimension scores (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression).
Study activities described were conducted from July 2004 through February 2008. The local Institutional Review Board approved the study protocol. A convenience sample of subjects was recruited from the 12 offices and 70 family physician and general internist practices in a university-affiliated primary care network located in Northern California. The study coordinator obtained permission from participating physicians to contact their patients. Billing code information was used to identify those aged 40 or older with one or more of the following chronic illnesses: arthritis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, depression, and/or diabetes mellitus. Mass-mailed study announcements, direct telephone calls, and announcement flyers posted in participating offices were also employed to recruit patients who met these criteria.
The study coordinator used a standard script to screen interested patients for further eligibility criteria: ability to speak and read English; residence in a private home with an active telephone; adequate eyesight and hearing to participate via telephone and read study materials; and at least one basic activity impairment, as assessed by the Health Assessment Questionnaire [46], and/or a score of 4 points or greater, suggestive of clinically significant depressive symptoms, on the 10-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [47]. The requirement for participants to have some basic activity impairment and/or active depression symptoms was based on findings of pre-study focus groups [48] and discussions with the developers of the CDSMP, which indicated such individuals would be least likely to participate in the original CDSMP but might still be willing and able to participate in a one-to-one, home-delivered variant of the program.
A study nurse visited eligible individuals in their homes, using a standardized interview checklist, augmented by clinical judgment, to assure they were medically stable for participation in the study (all were). During the home visit, the nurse also obtained informed consent and administered the baseline study questionnaire (see "Measures"). Subjects were randomly assigned to one of two HIOH intervention groups or a usual care control group. The study methods and interventions have been described in detail elsewhere [49].
At baseline, subjects completed the 60-item NEO-FFI [44], an extensively validated abbreviated version of the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised. The five 12-item scales in this measure tap the central Big 5 factors: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. In the regression analyses, scores were standardized [mean = 0, standard deviation (SD) = 1] to facilitate interpretation. Cronbach's α for the five scales ranged from 0.70 to 0.87 in this sample.
At baseline, subjects also completed the five-item EQ-5D descriptive system [45]. Subjects rated their problems along five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) as of the day of assessment, using a three-category scale (no problems, some problems, extreme problems) for each dimension. In addition to the separate dimension scores, each subject's responses were converted into a summary index (EQ-5D index) by applying scores from a population-based United States (U.S.) valuation set [50]. Though the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the EQ-5D summary index score remains somewhat controversial, various investigators have suggested values ranging from 0.03 [51] to 0.07 points [52, 53].
Other patient characteristics also measured at baseline via self-report were: age (in years); gender; race/ethnicity; marital status; and education level (less than high school graduate, high school diploma or equivalent, some college, college degree, any graduate school). Subjects also self-reported whether or not they had any of the study chronic conditions (arthritis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, depression, and/or diabetes mellitus), as well as the number of daily medications they were taking.
All analyses were conducted using Stata, version 10.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX). Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses were conducted with the EQ-5D summary index as dependent variable. The key independent variables were the five FFM factors, age, gender, educational status, minority status (minority or non-Hispanic White), and the presence of each of the study chronic conditions (as a series of dummy variables). Because of the highly skewed and truncated distributions of EQ-5D summary index and dimension scores, OLS likely produces biased parameter estimates. However, this analytic approach is the one most commonly used for analyzing these self-rated health measures, and, in general, OLS is robust to violation of the assumption of normality for the dependent variable. Alternative analytic techniques have been explored [54], and each has its limitations. We also examined the use of censored least absolute deviations (CLAD) regression [29], and this produced results consistent with OLS (results available from the authors).
We used five sets of ordinal logistic regression analyses to examine the relationship of each EQ-5D dimension with the independent variables as described above. We tested the proportional odds assumption, and found no evidence of non-proportionality going from one dimension level to another for any of the independent variables in any of the five sets of analyses. Thus, we report adjusted odds ratios, reflecting the average adjusted odds ratios for each independent variable associated with a change in level for a given dimension.
There were 415 participants enrolled in the trial. Of these, 94 (23%) were male and 321 (77%) female, with a mean age of 60 years (range 41–95). Most participants (59%) reported two or more chronic conditions. Table 1 provides a summary of subjects' baseline characteristics; 384 (94%) completed the NEO-FFI and 397 (96%) completed the EQ-5D at baseline.
Table 2 summarizes the regression analysis of EQ-5D summary index score on the patient characteristics. Better self-rated health was significantly associated with having diabetes, whereas worse self-rated health was significantly associated with reporting arthritis, depression, and greater Neuroticism. There were no significant associations of Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and/or Openness with EQ-5D summary index scores. In analyses conducted sequentially adding the socio-demographic, medical conditions, and FFM factors, the adjusted variances explained in the EQ-5D analyses were 4.0, 13.6, and 19.6%.
Table 3 summarizes the findings of ordinal regression analyses of the EQ-5D domains on patient characteristics. Worse mobility and self-care scores were each associated with increasing age and having heart failure or arthritis. Worse usual activities and pain scores were each associated with diabetes and arthritis, while better usual activities and pain scores were each associated with greater Conscientiousness. Finally, better anxiety/depression scores were associated with increasing age, more education, and having diabetes, while worse anxiety/depression scores were associated with greater Neuroticism and/or Openness. There were no significant associations of Agreeableness or Extraversion with any EQ-5D dimension scores.
Our study findings add to the growing body of literature demonstrating that patient personality factors are associated with patients' self-ratings of their health, and demonstrate the association extends to a preference-based health measure. They also suggest complex interrelationships exist among patient personality factors, socio-demographics, medical conditions, and preference-based health assessments, raising important questions regarding the external validity of clinical research studies including CEAs.
Consistent with a number of prior studies exploring associations between FFM factors and self-rated health as assessed using non-preference-based measures [4-8, 10-18], we found higher Neuroticism was associated with worse preference-based health, as measured by the EQ-5D summary index, in our sample of chronically ill RCT participants. The association appeared robust, persisting after adjustment for socio-demographic factors [17-20] and medical conditions/diagnoses [18, 19, 21] that are recognized powerful correlates of self-rated health.
The effect of a 1 SD change in Neuroticism on EQ-5D summary index scores was comparable to that of having depression or arthritis, greater than the effect of having diabetes, heart failure, or chronic lung disease, and much greater than the effects of socio-demographic variables that are currently almost universally measured and adjusted for in clinical studies. Neuroticism also accounted for more variance in EQ-5D summary index scores than these traditionally measured variables. For a 1 SD increase in Neuroticism, the summary index score was decreased by 0.04, which falls within the MCID range for the EQ-5D of 0.03 [51] to 0.07 [52, 53]. Across an entire population, which encompasses in excess of 4 standard deviations in personality scores, the effect of Neuroticism on EQ-5D summary index scores would therefore be around 0.16. Thus, the association between Neuroticism and EQ-5D summary index scores we observed appears to have importance from a population health perspective.
Regarding individual EQ-5D dimensions, higher Neuroticism was associated with worse anxiety/depression scores, a finding consistent with a large body of prior research. We also noted higher Openness was associated with worse anxiety/depression scores, a finding that may seem more puzzling at first glance. However, predicting the effects of relatively high levels of FFM personality factors is not always a straightforward matter, and beyond its potential benefits, high Openness may have some downsides [55]. For example, a prior study found higher Openness was associated with worse scores on the Social Functioning scale of the non-preference-based SF-36 self-rated health measure [21], and has also been associated with mood disorders [56]. Several attributes of high Openness individuals might help to explain such findings. These include a tendency toward high sensitivity to feelings and emotions, as well as a proclivity for unconventional or esoteric interests that might make it difficult for individuals to relate to others who do not share such interests [57]. Thus, interrelationships between FFM personality factors and self-rated health can be complex, underscoring the need for additional empirical research in this area. Finally, higher Conscientiousness was associated with better usual activities scores, consistent with prior literature concerning non-preference-based self-rated health measures [21]. These findings again all appeared robust, persisting after full adjustment for covariates.
We found no associations between Agreeableness and Extraversion and any EQ-5D dimension scores, consistent with the findings of a single prior study examining the relationship of personality factors with sub-facets of self-rated health, measured via SF-36 subscales [21]. We also found no associations of Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, or Openness with EQ-5D summary index scores. The results of prior studies concerning associations between these personality factors and self-rated health assessed via non-preference-based measures have been mixed, with some but not all finding associations, and the specific personality factors considered and/or found to be associated with self-rated health varying among "positive" studies [2-6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18].
The reasons for the differences in specific associations between FFM personality factors and self-rated health in our study compared with previous studies remain unclear. However, considerable variation among studies in regard to participant and design characteristics is likely to be one important contributor. For example, our analyses employed baseline data from RCT participants, whereas all prior studies exploring personality/self-rated health associations employed data from observational studies. This is salient because accumulating evidence suggests that RCT participants may differ from others, including observational study participants, in ways that may influence their self-assessments of health [58].
It also seems likely that different self-rated health measures may tap distinct and/or only partially overlapping facets of the broad subjective health construct. Indeed, a number of prior studies that compared the performance of different preference-based and non-preference-based self-rated health measures found important differences among measures in terms of baseline scores and responsiveness to change [33, 36, 59-62]. Thus, different self-rated health measures should not necessarily be expected to yield uniform results. There are also significant correlations among the FFM factors, so that the effects of the less salient factors may have been obscured in this sample. In analyses (not presented) that examined only one of the FFM factors at a time, three of the factors (Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, and Extraversion) exhibited strong adjusted associations in the direction predicted. Finally, all self-rated health measures have specific limitations in their performance that might influence the findings of analyses exploring personality factor/self-rated health associations. For example, the EQ-5D is susceptible to ceiling effects [53, 62, 63], and its scores tend to be skewed toward better health [64]. The possibility that different self-rated health measures may be differentially susceptible to contamination by different personality factors warrants further study.
Regardless of the specific connections between different FFM personality factors and self-rated health measures, our findings have potential ramifications for clinical research studies. For example, since it appears individuals with relatively high levels of Neuroticism have worse self-rated health as assessed by both preference-based and non-preference-based measures, one might hypothesize such individuals may have (and/or perceive they have) "more to gain" from interventions aimed at improving self-rated health than those with lower Neuroticism. Personality factors might also moderate the effects of interventions on preference-based health [65]. For example, one might hypothesize individuals higher in Neuroticism might be more (or less) responsive to a given intervention than those lower in Neuroticism. Indeed, in prior analyses, we found that the self-efficacy enhancing effects of our study experimental intervention were confined to participants who were higher in Neuroticism and/or lower in Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Extraversion [66].
Such personality-driven effects on intervention receptiveness and/or response may reduce the external validity or applicability of RCTs as well as observational studies if, as some research evidence suggests [38-42], the status of psychological variables such as FFM personality factors is different in those who enroll and remain in clinical studies than for the general population. Personality effects may additionally threaten internal validity in observational studies. Subjects are not randomly assigned to groups in such studies, so it is unlikely the status of various personality factors is equally distributed among groups.
Finally, it follows from these examples that unmeasured personality effects might bias the findings of CEAs, since preference-based health assessments are used to calculate QALYs for use in cost-effectiveness ratios. The key point is that routinely assessing the status of personality factors in clinical studies, along with the usual socio-demographic variables, would permit detection and, when indicated, statistical control for such effects. These examples, provided here for illustrative purposes, remain somewhat speculative given the relative paucity of supporting empirical research. Clearly, additional studies examining what are likely to be complex interrelationships among patient personality, changes in preference-based health in response to interventions, and intervention cost-effectiveness estimates appear warranted.
Our study had some limitations. As noted previously, we examined a sample of chronically ill outpatients who volunteered for a RCT, which may limit the generalizability of our findings to other groups and settings. For example, mean EQ-5D summary index and dimension scores were somewhat lower than in the general population [29, 30]. Likewise, mean Neuroticism scores were somewhat higher and mean scores for the other four FFM factors somewhat lower than reported in the general population [44]. Additionally, because our analyses were cross-sectional, causality cannot be inferred from the personality/preference-based health associations we observed. In other words, while it seems likely that the status of certain personality factors contributed to poorer health in some subjects, it may also be true that subjects' overall health and/or specific medical conditions helped shape the status of their personality factors over time. Indeed, recent research indicates that, rather than being viewed as intransigent "traits," FFM factors may best be conceptualized as general tendencies that are subject to significant change over time within some individuals [67]. It is also unclear to what extent differences in self-rated health among persons with varying levels of the FFM personality traits reflect differences in their reporting of subjective health and/or differences in "actual" underlying health. On the other hand, the apparently robust relationship between personality and mortality in a number of prior longitudinal studies strongly suggests a more fundamental relationship also exists [27].
In conclusion, our study demonstrated that personality factors in the FFM were associated with preference-based self-rated scores in a sample of outpatients participating in a RCT of a chronic illness self-management intervention. These associations remained significant even after adjusting for socio-demographic factors and medical conditions, which are known to influence preference-based health ratings. Furthermore, among these variables, FFM personality factors were the most powerful correlates of preference-based health. Our findings underscore the need for additional studies conducted with a wide array of samples, at least some of which are followed longitudinally, to further explore the potential for unmeasured effects due to patient personality factors in clinical research.

Nice Heavyweight paper with Just the Right Amount of Sparkle.
A great staple item to have on hand, as it can be added to many Summer Vacation themed pages - and made to look different by complimentary papers or embellishments.
I should have ordered more of this.
The embossed images are awesome! I can't wait to add my princesses' pictures to it! Definitely a must for anyone with a "princess" and/or a trip to Disney World (or -land.)
loved it..
The paper is beautiful but nothing sticks to it. I used both glue & stickons & neither worked well. The embellishment kept coming off.
I do not know what chemicals were used to add the glitter, but the paper has an awful odor too. Too bad it is beautiful paper.

Saturday's match against Corby was a good benchmark. They looked strong at the start and I think we gave them too much respect and tried to stop them rather than playing ourselves. That may have been our fault for telling them that Corby were going to be title contenders.
But apart from one early shot Glyn (Garner) did not have to make a save.
We were much more expansive after the break and perhaps should have won it.
We are beginning to prove to ourselves that we can play at this level. Fear is no longer a factor.
I thought my two centre backs (Gethin Jones and Mark Pritchett) were brilliant and Ryan Elliott came in and did well at right back on his debut. But then I had seen what he could do in pre-season.
Reidy (Jamie Reid) had to come off at half-time with a tight groin but then he has missed a chunk of pre-season due to his wedding and honeymoon.
THE youthful Cirencester Town boss Brian Hughes had his seventh grandchild on Saturday when his daughter Victoria and his centre half Mark Pritchett had a baby boy – Harley Joshua Pritchett. Pritchett Snr was able to be at the birth after dashing to hospital following the Corby game.

The Army's FCS (BCT) network enables the FCS (BCT) Family-of-Systems (FoS) to operate as a cohesive system-of-systems where the whole of its capabilities is greater than the sum of its parts. As the key to the Army's transformation, the network and its logistics and Embedded Training (ET) systems, enable the Army to employ revolutionary operational and organizational concepts. The network enables Soldiers to perceive, comprehend, shape, and dominate the future battlefield at unprecedented levels as defined by the FCS (BCT) Operational Requirements Document (ORD).
The FCS (BCT) network consists of five layers that when combined provides seamless delivery of data: The Standards, Transport, Services, Applications, and Sensors and Platforms Layers. The FCS (BCT) network possesses the adaptability and management functionality required to maintain pertinent services, while the FCS (BCT) fights on a rapidly shifting battlespace giving them the advantage to see first, understand first, act first, and finish decisively.
Standards Layer
The Standards Layer is the foundation of the FCS (BCT) network. It provides the governance for which the other layers are shaped and formed. The FCS (BCT) network will conform to the standards documentation to ensure that the net-centric attributes (flexible, adaptable distributed computing environment) are in place to move into the net-centric environment as part of a service-oriented architecture in the GIG. Information needs, information timeliness, information assurance, and net-ready attributes provide overarching guidance to ensure the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness. Conformance to these standards permits seamless interoperability with combined and coalition forces for all National Security Systems (NSS) and Information Technology (IT) systems.
DoD Directive 4630.5 and DoD Instruction 4630.8 and DoD 5000 series state that Interoperability is "the ability to provide and accept data, information, materiel, and services" and further state "...includes both the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness of that exchange, as required for mission accomplishment." The FCS (BCT) Network will conform to DISA standards that ensure end-to-end interoperability testing & Network Testing. The FCS (BCT) Network will adhere to CJCSI 3170.01D, Capabilities Integration and Development System and CJCSM 3170.01, Operation of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System that established Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) with NR KPP for Capstone Requirements Document (CRD), Capability Development Document (CDD), and Capability Production Document (CPD).
Transport Layer
The FCS (BCT) Family-of-Systems (FoS) are connected to the command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) network by a multilayered transport layer with unprecedented range, capacity and dependability. The primarily mobile transport layer provides secure, reliable access to information sources over extended distances and complex terrain. The network will support advanced functionalities such as integrated network management, information assurance and information dissemination management to ensure dissemination of critical information among sensors, processors and warfighters both within, and external to the FCS (BCT)-equipped organization.
The FCS (BCT) transport layer does not rely on a large and separate infrastructure because it is primarily embedded in the mobile platforms and moves with the combat formations. This enables the command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) network to provide superior Battle Command (BC) on the move to achieve offensive-oriented, high-tempo operations.
The FCS (BCT) transport layer is comprised of several heterogeneous communication systems including the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) and Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T). FCS (BCT) leverages all available resources to provide a robust, survivable, scalable and reliable heterogeneous communications network that seamlessly integrates ground, near ground, airborne and space-borne assets for constant connectivity and layered redundancy.
The FCS (BCT) Network Management System will be utilized to manage the entire FCS (BCT) network including radios with different waveforms, platform routers, and local area networks (LANs), information assurance elements, and hosts. It provides a full spectrum of management capabilities required during all mission phases, including pre-mission planning, rapid network configuration upon deployment in the area of operations, monitoring the network during mission execution and dynamic adaptation of network policies in response to network performance and failure conditions.
Services Layer
Central to FCS (BCT) network implementation is the Services Layer, commonly referred to as System-of-Systems Common Operating Environment (SOSCOE), which supports multiple mission-critical applications independently and simultaneously. It is configurable so that any specific instantiation can incorporate only the components that are needed for that instantiation. It enables straightforward integration of separate software packages, independent of their location, connectivity mechanism and the technology used to develop them.
The Services Layer architecture uses commercial off-the-shelf hardware and a Joint Tactical Architecture-Army compliant operating environment to produce a nonproprietary, standards-based component architecture for real-time, near-real-time, and non-real-time applications. The Services Layer also contains administrative applications that provide capabilities including login service, startup, logoff, erase, memory zeroize, alert/emergency restart and monitoring/control. The Services Layer framework allows for integration of critical interoperability services that translate Army, Joint, and coalition formats to native, internal FCS (BCT) message formats using a common format translation service. Because all interoperability services use these common translation services, new external formats will have minimal impact on the FCS (BCT) software baseline. The FCS (BCT) software is supported by application-specific interoperability services that act as proxy agents for each Joint and Army system. The Application Layer can access these interoperability services through applicable program interfaces that provide isolation between the domain applications, thereby facilitating ease of software modifications and upgrades.
The Services Layer is the open architecture middleware of the FCS (BCT) Network; it provides a window to the Situational Awareness Data Base and enables the interactive functioning of the Applications Layer and the Network Manager. In addition, the Services Layer provides message translation services to achieve Joint, Interagency, and Multinational (JIM) interoperability.
Applications Layer
The Applications Layer is responsible for providing the integrated ability to assess, plan, and execute network-centric mission operations using a common interface and a set of non-overlapping functional services that provides the full range of FCS (BCT) Warfighter capabilities to include: Integrated On-The-Move Common Operational Picture Real of the 4D Battlespace Real-time collaboration among dispersed warfighters Real-time assessment and sharing of combat power Common display interface for the Soldier based on role, echelon, and permissions Automated deconfliction of Blue Forces, air/ground space, and fires Automated planning and rehearsal decision making process Multi-levels of fusion for situation refinement to the platform Decision aiding supporting Command and Control (C2) of multiple unmanned airborne, unattended sensor & munitions, and ground systems Dynamic sensor planning, tasking & collection visualization to support Commanders Critical Information Requirements (CCIR) at all levels Rapid battlefield damage assessment tied to networked fires Execution monitoring and dynamic plan adjustment based on changes in the current situation Full control and autonomy of unmanned systems and payloads The Applications Layer incorporates ten software service packages covering each battle command functional domains. These ten software services packages' combined capabilities enable full interaction among the FCS (BCTs) and will share a common framework to achieve the long-desired goal of an integrated and interoperable system with no hardware, software or information stovepipes.
The Applications Layer will provide the ability for cross Battlefield Functional Area (BFA) problem solving and decision aiding capability for all brigade and below echelons, the ability to allow doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) to evolve during development and after fielding, the ability to provide rapid reconfiguration of roles and levels of automation during execution, and the ability to promote development efficiencies prior to fielding and technology refresh and insertion afterwards.
Networked Logistics Systems
The key to the success of the FCS (BCT) is the Networked Logistics Systems integrated through the Family-of-Systems (FOS) to achieve the logistics goals of reducing the logistics footprint, enhancing deployability, increasing operational availability, and reducing total ownership costs. These critical program goals are included in the two logistics Key Performance Parameters (KPP), KPP 4 (Transportability/Deployability) and KPP 5 (Sustainability/Reliability). Inherent to meeting these KPPs is the integration of logistics in the command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) network primarily through the Platform-Soldier Mission Readiness System (PSMRS) and the Logistics Decision Support System (LDSS). These systems provide unprecedented depth and accuracy of logistics information and decision tools to the commanders and logisticians by enabling the distribution system to deliver the right stuff to the right place at the right time reducing O&S costs. The supportability of the FCS (BCT) is further enabled by the reduction of demand designed into the System of Systems. Increased Reliability Availability Maintainability-Test (RAM-T) goals and implementing a Performance Based Logistics (PBL) support concept through extensive up front systems engineering efforts will result in increased Operational Availability and significant decreases in both parts and maintenance personnel while generating increased combat power. The time required to execute a repair is significantly decreased through implementation of "Pit-Stop Engineering" designs for maintenance easing both crew and maintainer burdens.

Luigi Poggi (born November 25, 1917) is an Italian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church.
Early life
Born in Piacenza, Poggi did all his studies prior to priestly ordination in that city and was sent to Rome in 1944 primarily to study diplomacy at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy. While doing this, Poggi joined the Secretariat of State, fo which he was to work for the next twenty years. In the process he rose to become the domestic prelate of Pope John XXIII in 1960. Poggi was in charge of the mission to investigate the legal status of titular churches in Tunisia during 1963 and 1964.
Papal nuncio
In 1965 he became papal nuncio to Central Africa (which comprises the modern states of Cameroon, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, and the Central African Republic).
Poggi became a titular Archbishop that year and became secretary of the Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs in 1966. He continued serving as a nuncio in Africa during the later part of the 1960s, but was then given a critical role by Pope Paul VI in his "Ostpolitik", which aimed to improve Vatican relations with the Stalinist nations of the Warsaw Pact. this role reached its greatest importance early in the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, when Poggi, owing to his knowledge of Polish politics of the time, was sent first to Warsaw and then to the Kremlin to negotiate with Moscow. He later visited Prague. Critics of John Paul saw his sending of Poggi to the Eastern bloc as an effort on the Pope's part to control and dictate the policies of Lech Wałęsa's resistance to Wojciech Jaruzelski's military government.
Archivist and Librarian of the Holy Roman Church
After his work in the Eastern bloc, Poggi became the papal nuncio to Italy and in this role was able to remain close to the centre of Church operations under Pope John Paul. In 1992, Poggi became archivist and librarian of the Holy Roman Church. He was thus on November 26, 1994 created Cardinal-Deacon of S. Maria in Domnica - one day after his seventy-seventh birthday. Upon reaching the maximum age limit for voting in a conclave, Poggi resigned from his position in the Vatican Library and Archives but returned to work in relations with the former Stalinist nations of Eastern Europe. After ten years as a cardinal deacon he took the option and was elevated to Cardinal-Priest of San Lorenzo in Lucina. Cardinal Poggi was cardinal protodeacon from February 26, 2002, until he opted for the order of cardinal priests on February 24, 2005 but played no role in the subsequent conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI.

From designing for Olympic athletes to their recent role in the costumes for the movie Black Swan, Rodarte and Opening Ceremony teamed up once again in the creation of a Spring/Summer 2011 collection. While known predominately for their womenswear, Rodarte's work seen here with menswear was not without its limitations noting, "It's harder to make a jacket really beautifully done for men when you have so much freedom when you're doing one for a woman. I feel like there's a different set of rules somehow. Even if you could break them, they're still there." The collection will be available this week at Opening Ceremony locations in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo as well as Barneys New York, Doors, Holt Renfrew, Podium in Moscow and DNA in Saudi Arabia.

The Rane IR2R and IR2S are collectively known as an IR2. They work in pairs as an accessory to Rane HAL products. The IR2S sends infrared, the IR2R receives it. They work as a pair to provide an automatic way to sense the position of a movable wall or door. Mounting brackets and screws are included.
A single CAT 5e cable for each door connects the IR2 to a dedicated IR Remotes port on the rear of the HAL2 or DR4. For a wiring diagram, see the next page.
When mounted on opposite sides of the door, and wired correctly, green indicators on the IR2R and IR2S are always lit. Only when the door is open and the IR2R is receiving infrared from the sender does the IR2R's amber indicator light. Depending on the IR2 mounting height and your eyeglass prescription, these indicators can usually be viewed from the floor. Note that the HAL need not have a configuration loaded in it for the above functionality to be observed. A powered HAL2 or DR4 is sufficient.
For an IR2 remote to control audio, the IR2 requires a connection to a HAL2, or to a DR4 connected to any HAL. In either case, the HAL must be loaded with a suitable configuration. When doors or movable partitions are opened or closed the IR2 automatically detects this, and the audio system reconfigures itself appropriately and automatically.
Distinguishing the IR2R from the IR2S: Both the send and receive parts have brown and blue wires, but the receiver also has a black wire.
The HAL does not check the IR2 wiring for errors. The IR2R's green indicator flashes when the output is short-circuited. The amber indicator flashes when the signal is marginal, as for a dirty sensor, or if it's too far away. The IR2 will operate up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) apart.
