Yesterday's results
Houston's Miguel Tejada was one of the hottest hitters in baseball heading into yesterday's action, but he was cooled off by three Colorado pitchers. As such, his 0-for-5 performance not only snapped a personal 17-game hitting streak, it ended the runs of the Top 2 BTS contestants. waw_3card and ace21dlr placed their faith in the veteran shortstop, resulting in the finish of their respective streaks of 31 and 30 games.
And so, with a nod to the upcoming Belmont Stakes, a pack of seven contestants are rounding the corner and heading into the weekend in a tie for first at 30 games. We'll see who can keep surging, and who will fade down the stretch.
Yesterday's Top 5 most selected players
1. Derek Jeter (NYY): 7.0%, 0-for-0
2. Carl Crawford (TB): 5.6%, 2-for-4
3. Jason Kubel (MIN): 5.1%, 3-for-4
4. Jason Bay (BOS): 4.7%, 1-for-5
5. Joe Mauer (MIN): 4.6%, 3-for-4

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vermillion, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRML), a leading molecular diagnostics company, reported financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Q3 2012 Operational Highlights
Q3 2012 Financial Highlights
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2012 was $319,000, comprised of $205,000 in OVA1 sales and $114,000 in license fees from Quest Diagnostics. Product revenue from OVA1 sales in the third quarter of 2012 was flat as compared to the same year-ago quarter.
Total operating expenses decreased in the third quarter to $2.6 million from $4.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily the result of lower clinical trial costs due to Vermillion's Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) multi-marker intended use study having been completed in 2011, lower legal expenses, and continuing cost containment with improved operational efficiency. This also resulted in lower operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which totaled $9.0 million as compared to $15.5 million in the same year-ago period.
Net loss for the third quarter was $2.0 million or $(0.13) per share, an improvement from a loss of $4.7 million or $(0.31) per share in the same year-ago quarter. The third quarter of 2012 net loss included a $0.3 million gain for a payment received on litigation settlement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net loss was $5.8 million or $(0.39) per share, as compared to $14.7 million or $(1.04) per share in the same year-ago period.
As of September 30, 2012, the company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.3 million as compared to $18.3 million at June 30, 2012. The company utilized $2.3 million in cash in the third quarter of 2012, offset by the $0.3 million payment received on litigation settlement during the third quarter. Management expects $2.0 million to $2.5 million in cash utilization during the fourth quarter of 2012 excluding approximately $5.9 million paid to Quest Diagnostics under the Secured Line of Credit Agreement in October 2012.
Management Commentary
"In Q3, our OVA500 pivotal study further established the valuable clinical utility of OVA1, with its high sensitivity and negative predictive value," said Gail S. Page, Vermillion's president and chief executive officer. "The manuscript of the study has recently been submitted for publication, and we plan to use the publication to aid in expanding OVA1's clinical adoption and increasing positive coverage decisions from national payers.
"Our recent loan repayment to Quest deleverages our balance sheet as well as demonstrates the success of our partnership agreement, which was designed to help bring Vermillion to this pivotal stage of its growth and development. Quest has been an important and supportive partner for many years, and we look forward to continuing our close relationship. In fact, together we successfully initiated a program focused in six states to improve OVA1 physician reorder rates by reestablishing OVA1 as 'top-of-mind.'
"Our CPT code becomes effective this January and will be priced for the first year by CMS using their gap-fill process. CMS uses the gap-fill method when no comparable molecular diagnostic exists. It determines a reimbursement amount for the first year by multiple factors, including what other payers might be paying. In anticipation of this process eventually occurring, during the early-stage of the OVA1 launch we secured reimbursement from Medicare at $516.25 per test, which is a common benchmark for reimbursement of a new diagnostic. We have also established another benchmark from the Department of Defense list price at $650.00 per test. We expect this new CPT code to streamline the claims process and strengthen our reimbursement results.
"As we wrap-up 2012 and prepare for the new year, we will work towards greater adoption by focusing on reimbursement, physician awareness and market education. Vermillion remains strongly committed to advancing the market adoption of OVA1 as the most sensitive ovarian cancer diagnostic on the market today. As we further develop our ovarian cancer franchise, we plan to expand beyond clinical labs to address the broader market, including hospitals and other points-of-care."
CEO Succession Plan
As previously announced, the company's board has formed a succession committee of independent directors to oversee the process of identifying and selecting a new CEO. It has also retained a leading executive search firm with experience in CEO transitions to advise the board on potential candidates. Gail Page will continue in her role until the new CEO is appointed, and after assisting in the transition, plans to act as a strategic advisor for the company as required by the board of directors.

About OVA1
OVA1 is a blood test for pre-surgical assessment of ovarian tumors for malignancy, using a unique multi-biomarker approach. In a published clinical trial, OVA1 achieved 99% sensitivity in detecting epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC). This included 96% sensitivity for stage I EOC, the earliest and most curable EOC stage, compared with 57% for the conventional biomarker CA125.(1) In addition, OVA1 found 70% of malignancies missed by non-specialist pre-surgical assessment,(1) and it increased detection of malignancy over ACOG guidelines from 77% to 94%.(2) As the first protein-based, In Vitro Diagnostic Multi-Variate Index Assay (IVDMIA) cleared by the FDA, OVA1 also represents a new class of software-based diagnostics.

|Lessons From Would-be
Read for This Week's Study:
|Matt. 8:19-22; 19:16-26; Mark 10:17-23; Luke 4:16-30; 18:18-30; John 3:1-21.
Memory Text:
|"Another said, 'I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.' Jesus said to him, 'No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.'" (Luke 9:61, 62, RSV).
|Life comes filled with mysteries
at every level. From the workings of subatomic particles, to the very nature
of space and time themselves, there is so much we do not even begin to
Probably, though, of all things mysterious and hard to fathom, nothing is more so than the workings of the human heart. People, in an instant, for reasons that seem so unknowable (perhaps even to themselves), make decisions that can impact their lives in a dramatic way, for good or bad, for all eternity. No wonder that Scripture, when talking about the heart, says, "Who can know it?" (Jer. 17:9).
This week we will look at some would-be disciples, and the decision of their hearts.
This Week at a Glance:
|What do the Gospels say about would-be disciples? What lessons may we learn from their experiences that can inform our discipleship, strengthen our faith, and deepen our commitment?
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, January 26.
|January 20
The Scribe
Read Matthew 8:19, 20 (see also Luke 9:57, 58). What is the point of this story? What message is here for us? What principles can we take from it?
Here is a case of someone who, not specifically called by Jesus, volunteered instead. Notice, too, just how intense his profession was. He would follow the Lord anywhere. It is easy, even for a true follower of the Lord, to make all sorts of pronouncements about being faithful (Luke 22:33); it is not so easy, however, to follow up on them (vss. 55-61).
When was the last time you made some bold promise of faithfulness to God that you later broke? What lesson did you learn from that experience?
What also is interesting about this encounter is that the person who came to Jesus with that profession was a scribe, one of the educated elite in Israel. They were men of "culture, education, and station in life"The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, p. 365. Few scribes identified with Jesus; they were too upstanding. They followed Him, not to be influenced by His teaching, but to entrap Him. Yet, here was a scribe who was touched by Jesus' teaching to the extent that he volunteered to become a disciple.
Yet Jesus knew the heart, and His response shows that, perhaps, this scribe's motives were not pure. He may have wanted to join himself to Jesus in hopes of gaining worldly advantage. Christ's response, however, quickly should have disabused him of any such notions. In the end, the text does not tell us what the ultimate choice of this scribe was. From what Jesus said, it is not hard to imagine the scribe turning away.
|How do we understand what was happening with this scribe and with, for instance, Christ's words in Mark 10:30? Are we not promised some immediate advantages in following Jesus now? If so, why is it not wrong to want those advantages? Or is it?
|January 21
An Unnamed Disciple
Read Matthew 8:21, 22. How do you understand what is going on here? Why would Jesus say something like this to a person who first wanted to bury his own father?
Yesterday, we viewed a scribe who sought discipleship. Today we encounter another volunteer, but one who is neither named as an individual or identified with a specific group. Examining the narrative, one wonders if Jesus was not unreasonable in His expectations. The man asked to bury his father, and in the Jewish faith it was a sacred duty to ensure a decent burial for a parent. What is going on?
Contrary to popular belief, the young man's father was neither dead nor even at the point of death. It was even possible that he was at the time "enjoying good health, and the time of his death was indefinitely in the future."The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, p. 366. If this is so, why did the man answer the way he did? Was it an excuse, one that Jesus saw through? Because the dead were usually buried the same day, had his father actually died there would not have been a problem, because he could have attended to matters and then returned to discipleship.
This man's response revealed his character. In contrast to the scribe's hastiness and impulsiveness, he was slow, lethargic, lacking in zeal for the work, indecisive, and prone to procrastination. He was in fact delaying his discipleship to the indefinite future because he did not want to make an immediate commitment. If he did not commit right then, he would perhaps never commit. The man was, apparently, saying that he could begin discipleship only when the time was convenient for him. Furthermore, Jesus wanted it known that because of the limited time He had for ministry and training disciples, discipleship required undivided attention and full commitment.
|Is the Lord calling you to do something (End a relationship? Give up a habit? Be faithful in tithe? Witness to someone?) that you intend to do, but not now? What are the dangers of delaying?
|January 22
The Rich Young Ruler
Read Mark 10:17-23 (See also Matt. 19:16-26, Luke 18:18-30). What lessons can we pull from the story of this would-be disciple?
Today's lesson covers a colorful character. He did not come either timidly or under cover. He made a grand entrance. Mark says he ran to Jesus and fell on his knees before Him. While Mark and Matthew do not name the man, Luke says he was a ruler and thus perhaps a member of the honored council of the Jews. Matthew says that he was young. The name, the "rich young ruler," is a composite description derived from all three accounts.
In Jesus' presence, he immediately began a discussion, seeking, it seems, to flatter Jesus, who did not fall for the flattery. Instead, Jesus went right to the heart of his question, pointing the man to the law of God.
Why would Jesus, Who knew that salvation could not be attained by works of the law (Rom. 3:28, Gal. 2:16), point him toward the law?
In a certain sense, the answer to that question is found in the response of the young man. Though he kept the law, he sensed that it was not enough. Something was missing, which is why he asked, "What lack I yet?" (Matt. 19:20). In other words, though he outwardly, in his actions, seemed a faithful follower of the Lord, something more was needed. Jesus' words, and the man's response to those words, showed that his heart was not truly converted. By pointing him to the commandments, Jesus showed him that true salvation is manifested in an obedience to the law that involves death to self. The man's wealth had become an idol to him, and Jesus showed him that, despite his outward propriety, his treasure was on earth, not in heaven, and he needed a radical change of heart.
|You might be keeping the commandments, at least outwardly, but where is your treasure? What reasons do you have for justifying your answer?
|January 23
One of the most famous accounts in the New Testament is that of Nicodemus, who came to Jesus by night and asked the question, "How can these things be?" (John 3:9).
Read John 3:1-21. What "things" was Nicodemus asking about?
How interesting that Jesus would be talking to Nicodemus about the workings of the Holy Spirit when, in fact, it was obvious from Nicodemus' words and actions that he himself was being convicted by the Holy Spirit. For him to come to Jesus, not to try to trap him (as so many of his contemporaries did) but to learn, shows the sincerity of his heart.
What can we learn from Christ's words about discipleship from what He said to Nicodemus?
Jesus' response to Nicodemus not only was tailored to his needs, but, in John's Gospel, serves to identify suitable and unsuitable characteristics for discipleship. It says that physical birth and descent from the Jewish nation are insufficient for authentic discipleship. Discipleship presupposes a rebirth that unites one with the heavenly realm and opens one up to the constant working of the Holy Spirit. That Nicodemus misunderstood all this even further revealed the inadequacy of merely being born a Jew, or being born into the right family; it also provided an opportunity for further instruction on the nature of discipleship. Although Nicodemus did not make an immediate and open response to discipleship, he at times acted as a secret disciple. At least initially, he was a would-be disciple, because he did not commit then. As we know, that later changed (John 19:39).
|You might be of right descent; that is, you might be in the right church, with the right doctrines and teaching. Why, though, is that not enough? How can we avoid the danger of thinking that membership in the right church, or even knowledge of true doctrines, is all that we need?
|January 24
Herd Mentality
Salvation, we know, is personal. We are not saved in bunches; we are not corporately brought into the kingdom of heaven (see Ezek. 14:20). In the end, we each will have to answer for our own deeds, not for the deeds of others (Rom. 14:12).
Nevertheless, most of us do not live in isolation. We are in contact with other people, and we influence others, just as we are influenced by them. It is just part of human nature, even unfallen human nature (see Gen. 3:6), that we influence one another, either for good or for evil. How unfortunate that, unless we are careful, the influences can be negative.
Read Luke 4:16-30. What happened here? Why did the people, as a group, act as they did? What led to the downfall of these would-be disciples?
Though at first they all marveled at His words, once those words became cutting, they turned, en masse, against Him. Imagine if some would-be disciple there, instead of succumbing to anger, submitted to the rebuke humbly. Who knows what his or her influence might have been on the others? Instead, it says that they all in the synagogue became angry, so angry that they tried to kill Him. No doubt each one's anger influenced another, and then another, until the whole synagogue, who had come there to worship the Lord, in a spasm of anger sought to kill Him instead. Had any one of these people encountered Jesus' rebuke on a one-to-one basis, they might have been angry, but most likely they would have walked away. Now, though, feeling the strength of a mob, they acted in a horrible way.
How easily influenced are you by the crowd, by the prejudices and teachings of your own society and culture? What practical steps could you take that could help protect you from the dangers of this herd mentality?
|January 25
Further Study:
|Read The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, pp. 365, 366, 456-460,
602-605, 926-934; Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages,
pp. 167-177,
"In this age of diseased piety and perverted principle, those who are converted in life and practice will reveal a healthy and influential spirituality. Those who have a knowledge of the truth as it is revealed in God's word must now come to the front. My brethren, God requires this of you. Every jot of your influence is now to be used on the right side. All are now to learn how to stand in defense of truth that is worthy of acceptance."Ellen G. White, Medical Ministry, p. 22.
"But while Nicodemus had not publicly acknowledged Christ, he had in the Sanhedrin council repeatedly thwarted the schemes of the priests to destroy Him. When at last Christ had been lifted up on the cross, Nicodemus remembered the words that He had spoken to him in the night interview on the Mount of Olives, 'As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up' (John 3:14); and he saw in Jesus the world's Redeemer."Ellen G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 104.
Discussion Questions:
| Has there ever been a time when you got caught up
in a herd mentality, when you went along with the crowd, perhaps in a fit
of emotion, and did something you later regretted? If so, what have you learned
from that experience that could help protect you from doing the same thing
Think more about the point addressed earlier this week regarding the idea that being part of the true church is not enough. What message is there for us as Seventh-day Adventists? How are we in danger of falling into that same trap, that idea that because we believe that we have truth, that is all we need? In class, talk about how we can protect ourselves from that delusion.
Review the reason that these would-be disciples used to not make a commitment (with, we know for sure, the exception of Nicodemus). What other excuses do people use? How can we as a church help those who are struggling with this momentous decision?
Review the reason that these would-be disciples used to not make a commitment (with, we know for sure, the exception of Nicodemus). What other excuses do people use? How can we as a church help those who are struggling with this momentous decision?
What's the difference between being a "believer" and being a disciple?
|I N S I D E Story
|Crash Course in Faith
by JOHN MAKEUSA
I was a new believer. I boarded a small passenger plane in the Congo to fly to another city. Halfway to our destination in torrential rain, the navigation system developed a problem. Then one engine stopped. The pilot descended to look for a place to land.
I prayed as the pilot struggled to bring the plane down safely. Then the other engine stopped working. Without power we had no control over the plane. I prayed earnestly, "Lord, if You have work for me to do, please save us."
We crashed onto the savannah and flipped over, tumbling to a stop. My seatbelt broke, and I was knocked unconscious. I awoke lying outside the plane. I had neck and leg injuries and couldn't walk. We saw no one around and had no idea where to go for help, so we slept fitfully by the plane that night.
The next morning we saw two men paddling a canoe down a nearby river and shouted at them. Because it was a time of war, the men thought we were military and took us to the guerilla army headquarters nearby. These soldiers could have killed us, for we were from "enemy" territory. But God protected us, and the soldiers fed us and bandaged our wounds.
A week later when we were able to walk, soldiers marched us to their commander, 130 miles (200 kilometers) away. When we arrived four days later, the commander questioned us. I told him I was an Adventist Christian, not a soldier. He held us for a month. During this time I shared my faith, and one soldier asked how to become a Christian. I told him all that I knew and prayed with him as he accepted Jesus as his Lord. When we were set free, we walked toward the Tanzanian border to find help.
Soldiers at the border arrested us, thinking we were soldiers. They held us for more than two months. Throughout our ordeal I shared my faith with the pilot and other passengers as well as with our captors. We prayed together, and the other men asked me to pray for them, as well.
When finally we were freed to return home, we had been gone four months. Everyone thought we were dead. What gladness when we arrived! What rejoicing when I testified how God had saved us, not once but four times, and helped me share my faith with strangers. The experience helped me know I can trust God in everything.
Evangelism takes many forms, and your mission offerings make evangelism possible.

When I set off with my goal to purchase organic mattresses – my boys were close to purchasing a bunk bed that they saved for almost 2 years. The buildup for this was tremendously exciting and I didn't want to drop the ball not finding mattresses they would like and that lived up to the safety requirements I needed them to have. With being a green business owner and blogger I have to admit this purchase proved to be much more difficult than I expected. It's funny that the end result of purchasing my boys their mattresses came down to good old fashion word-of-mouth (thanks Sabrina and Trish!). Let's not forget that I'm not buying an organic crib mattress(where there are many options available) but twin mattresses that are larger and heavier in size. This factor almost (don't forget I say almost) rules out purchasing larger mattresses online from across the country because the cost to ship these pieces starts to really add up.
The mattresses that we purchased are not organic but natural Dream Bed mattresses from Dream Designs. This 'natural' option allowed us to buy greener mattresses that are chemical free, locally crafted, and made with locally produced materials. The only difference between the organic and natural Dream Beds is the cotton casing around the exterior of the mattress is either organic or natural – also the cotton batting inside the mattress. Oh – and quite a bit of money. The difference between the two options is more than $500 and since we were purchasing two – the decision was based on cost savings and the mattresses meeting my requirements for not containing chemical flame retardants or PVC (supporting a locally made mattress was just a huge bonus!). For a child's organic twin mattress, you are going to pay approx. $1000.00. We paid under $500 per mattress for the natural option through Dream Designs…it's a substantial savings.
I am very happy with the purchase. My main goal was purchasing mattresses for my kids without chemical flame retardants and a plastic exterior made from PVC. The natural flame retardant within a Dream Design mattress is wool, which meets the government criteria ~ naturally ~ so that chemicals are not added to the foam when the mattress is being manufactured. Linda, the owner of Dream Designs has amazing product knowledge and could answer all of my questions – she even cleared up the mystery that polyurethane foam can be used without having to add chemicals if it's wrapped in wool or a natural flame retardant. The polyurethane foam that is used in a Dream Design mattress is locally sourced and also naturally biodegradable.
I always find it easier to gage size and dimensions from real pictures for products so I've included a few shots of my bottom bunk's mattress. They are designed as futon mats and provide a very firm surface. Going from an older spring mattress to their new futon mattress was different for my sons and did take a bit for them to get used to. Also, you need to be wary of wetness. If you have a child that has the occasional accident, you should have a mattress protector because the exterior of the mattress is cotton without a waterproof liner. There are three options when selecting a Dream Design mattress 1) Tatami which is more like a bed topper or sleeping mat 2) Deluxe which consists of cotton & wool wrap combo around 2 layers of foam 3) Supreme which offers an extra 3rd layer of foam. Also of course – the different option between natural and organic Dream Beds. The difference in price between the Deluxe and Supreme is approx. $100 but after testing the different mattresses we actually found that the Supreme was too hard a surface and have been happy with the Deluxe. You can view from the mattress thickness below.
Being a newbie to purchasing new mattresses – I was surprised at the huge jump in price when researching kids organic mattresses from the cost of organic crib mattresses. Thank goodness these mattresses will last 10 years and I feel good about my investment. The joy my boys have experienced saving all that time to make a major purchase on their own has been amazing to watch. It was very cute observing my older son (who has dibs on the top bunk) experience a bit of 'princess and the pea' symptoms the first few weeks on the new mattresses and bunk bed. "I just feel like something isn't quite right" he kept saying. I didn't want to be the one to tell him he's missing having his little brother right next to him in bed since they've been split up to sleep in the top and bottom bunk. Both have settled into their independent sleeping quarters now and can't wait to show off their new purchase to friends and proudly announce "and we even saved for 2 years!" A great experience to watch and I'm so proud of my guys…thank goodness there's still room for Mommy on that bottom bed so I don't loose any cuddle time.

NSA Delayed Installing 'Anti-Leak' Software At Site Where Snowden Worked Because Of 'Insufficient Bandwidth'
from the because-reasons deptReuters is reporting that the NSA apparently had "delayed installing" the "most up-to-date anti-leak software" at the site in Hawaii where Ed Snowden was based:
The purpose of the software, which in the NSA's case is made by a division of Raytheon Co, is to block so-called "insider threats" - a response to an order by President Barack Obama to tighten up access controls for classified information in the wake of the leak of hundreds of thousands of Pentagon and State Department documents by an Army private to WikiLeaks website in 2010.It's unclear from this reporting if "insufficient bandwidth" means, literally, insufficient network bandwidth, or insufficient time for local sysadmins to get to this project. If it's the former, then, huh? That makes no sense. There's no way they had insufficient network bandwidth, or if they did, then the NSA has some serious problems. If it's the latter, then, what? Good thing the NSA is now getting rid of 90% of its sys admins, huh?
The main reason the software had not been installed at the NSA's Hawaii facility by the time Snowden took up his assignment there was that it had insufficient bandwidth to comfortably install it and ensure its effective operation, according to one of the officials.

Delnaz opens up about ex-husband Rajev in 'Bigg Boss'
Television actress Delnaz Irani opened up about ex-husband Rajev Paul, saying she had a tumultuous two years while their divorce trial was on
While talking to 'Bigg Boss 6' housemates Aashka Goradia and Sana Khan, Delnaz revealed it was not easy for her to move on after 14 years of marriage. She said the two years were a test because she was just trying to gather funds to pay Rajev and EMIS for his house. While Rajev's house stands loan-free, the house that Delnaz lives in is still reeling under EMIs.
Delnaz married Rajev when she was 23 and has been working ever since. While she worked, Rajev stayed home, waiting for some good movie offers. She was not only the bread winner but supported him morally as well. All his entertianment costs were borne by Delnaz.
An upset Delnaz said she and Rajev have moved on in life and that it is better if he stops gaining sympathy from everyone in the 'Bigg Boss' house. Rajev has been trying hard to woo back Delnaz while they both compete for the winner's trophy in the reality show. 'Bigg Boss' that is aired on Colors is hosted by superstar Salman Khan.

March isn't shaping up to be Justin Bieber's month.
Following a week of bad news, the pop star has canceled one of his upcoming concerts in Portugal, a rep for Bieber confirms to E! News.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Justin Bieber was forced to cancel the second operation, in Portugal, on 12 March," the Portuguese promoter Everything is New posted on their Website. "The Canadian singer is eager to play for the Portuguese fans on 11 March."
U.S. & World
Catch up on Bieber's bad week here
The message also promised a refund to fans who had purchased tickets for the concert. "Holders of tickets valid for March 12 should contact the respective place of purchase to receive a refund within 30 days of the date of the scheduled concert, which ends April 11."
The news of his canceled concert comes on the heels of a pretty bad week for Bieber: The "Beauty and a Beat" singer received flack for starting a show two hours late, before collapsing on stage the next night. He later lashed out at a paparazzo, yelling, "I'll f--king beat the f--k out of you!"

When I first started Linux, I fired up "Text Editor" and almost collapsed. What the hell was that? I like many Windows and Mac users, hit this bird on the first flyover of Linux. Now I could have used Open Office but I'm an old dog, and if I'm gonna be taught new tricks they better be damn good ones.
So I needed to bold a word in gedit, and couldn't find a bold button in the title bar. "I can't even bold what the !@#$." This was my first foray in real text editor.
Why Not Bold
Once I was forced to use gedit, and hence to transfer the document to another computer and another application, I began to love how simple it was. It just worked. There were a few bolds and underlines to put in and that was it. Having manually converted documents like AppleWorks previously, I didn't mind doing this.
Vim is Alot of Talk
People on the forums talked alot using Vim, and I thought "that archaic editor". I've heard of it in the early days of computing and just decided to stay away from vi(vim). As the more I got involved in Linux and needing to do more complex tasks, the more my searchs found people talking about it. So, I gave Vim a try thinking that this will be a ten minute exercise before I frustratingly jack hammered the keyboard. What has occurred is a love affair of sorts (don't get excited) and I haven't looked back much since.
How to Start
I began at the Arch Wiki which has a nice basic tutorial for Vim. There is, as well,
vimtutor that is installed with Vim, which I didn't know at the time – oh well. I learned the basics (and they can be learned in about an hour) then I became free to begin typing.
Of all the details I've read of vim, the most I've read over is how people customize Vim to their particular needs. The Vim homepage contains thousands of scripts to vary and add to the uses of the editor.
Vim isn't everything but it tells me whats most important about writing – letters. In fact I'm typing this post on Vim and even posting from it.
Tomorrow, I'll talk about customizing Vim and a few basic tips to setting it up.

I am going to schedule Kaige's neuter for early February and was wondering about the fluid therapy that they have to offer. This was not common at all when I was working at the vets and haven't had a dog under anesthesia since so I really don't know a whole lot about it.
I do understand that it helps to keep the dog hydrated and may help him come out of it a little better, but does it really make that big of a difference? Or is it more of a waste of $50?
I've seen many dogs go under with out & they all did great so it makes me wonder if it really does make that big of a difference.
I was wondering if anyone here has had that done? Especially if you have multiple dogs or even the same dog, like if one had the fluid therapy and the other one didn't, or if the same dog didn't have it while under once but had it while under a second time, did you see a big difference?

Today, companies are flooded with big data from an ever-growing variety of sources, including social media, e-commerce systems, and sensors embedded in products ranging from smartphones to cars.
Analyzing this ocean of data can yield critical insights — and has rapidly become a business imperative. Most companies face growing pressure to build big data solutions quickly, to help them gain insights into changing customer behavior and market dynamics, or risk losing out to rivals that are doing so.
Whether your organization has experience with big data technology or not, cloud-oriented services can accelerate your time-to-insight by speeding deployment of scalable, secure big data solutions. As Ernst & Young puts it, big data analytics "is among the complex, hard-to-manage applications that lend themselves to [cloud] solutions because most organizations struggle with the necessary infrastructure to analyze such large data sets — a challenge they can now outsource to cloud service providers. One analyst even called 'big data' analytics and cloud computing 'a match made in heaven.'" (1)
Until recently, the most well-known examples of companies leveraging big data for competitive advantage came from an elite club of high-profile online businesses with deep technical expertise, such as Facebook, Google, and Netflix. But now, big data analytics is going mainstream. Established companies in sectors as diverse as agriculture, industrial services, and consumer packaged goods are harnessing big data to grow their traditional businesses and achieve competitive advantage.
"The ability to analyze big data — massive quantities of data — is important," says Filippo Passerini, CIO and President of Global Business Services at packaged-goods giant Procter & Gamble. "I believe, in our industry, the differentiator will be the ability to predict what is going to happen in the business. It is very possible to detect those key indicators early on, or roll out a predictive model that will allow us to be more accurate in the way we go to market with a new product." (2)
Large companies that rely heavily on big data analysis include consumer packaged goods giant Procter & Gamble, which accumulates big data from a multitude of sources worldwide such as retail locations, online ads, and ERP systems. P&G also analyzes customer sentiment in social media for each of its brands — in real time. P&G analytics systems look for exceptions and trends in the data, and provide forward-looking projections and scenarios; the company's executives and managers access the information in visual decisionsupport systems on desktops and in immersive environments within specialized "Business Sphere" executive decision rooms.
United Parcel Service of America has built its business on big data — managing millions of package transactions and movements. Now, UPS is also gathering data from sensors in over 46,000 delivery trucks, including speed, direction, braking, and drivetrain performance. The company is using the data not only to monitor daily performance, but also to increase efficiency through a major redesign of UPS drivers' route structures, including the planned future ability to reconfigure drivers' pickups and drop-offs in real time.
More and more businesses are identifying clear use cases for big data and completing pilot projects that demonstrate the potential of harnessing real-time big data. Now, there is growing urgency to scale those pilots into full-fledged production systems so that the business can reap the benefits.
Companies trying to implement big data production systems, however, often realize that the projects require resources they lack in house, such as highly scalable infrastructure and specialized big data skills (for example, rapid deployment of Hadoop clusters).
"The transition from proof-of-concept (POC) to productionready big data systems can be a struggle for organizations, because successful big data solutions need to scale quite quickly.
That places heavy, unforeseen demands on infrastructure," says John Martin, Chief Architect, Big Data Strategy, at CenturyLink. "Organizations often come up against obstacles such as a lack of data center capacity, scalable computing resources, and skills."
For many use cases (or workloads), managed or cloud-based services provide the solutions to these challenges, enabling organizations to accelerate deployment of big data solutions. Companies no longer need to build their own expensive infrastructure for big data applications, or develop the expertise to deploy and maintain key technologies such as Hadoop. Instead, they can simply acquire and scale the services they need, as they need them.
Martin says scalable, secure big data implementations require several layers of capabilities. Each can be delivered as a managed or cloud service, faster than in-house deployment. Layers include:
Martin emphasizes that big data solutions need strong security capabilities spanning all three layers to ensure protection of vital corporate data, as well as monitoring, management, and orchestration.
With so much depending on big data projects, the right security measures are essential. The implications of not having effective security are far-reaching, from regulatory to privacy to customer loyalty. If security is breached and sensitive information falls into the wrong hands, the impact on brand standing and customer retention can be catastrophic.
Yet according to IDC, only about half of the information in the digital universe that needs protection has protection. IDC estimates that a third of all data should be protected, but only about 15% to 20% actually gets protected. Further, the firm predicts that the amount of data requiring protection will grow faster than the digital universe itself, and by 2020 will be about 40% of all data. But it expects the proportion that gets protection to remain about the same, or improve only slightly.
To ensure your data is protected and can't be accessed by unauthorized users, there must be strict security at the infrastructure (including physical data center security and network security), data (including governance), and insight layers.
As the pace of business change accelerates, the ability to gain insights quickly from big data has become critical. But that accelerating business change demands agility: the ability to scale up, rapidly, as POCs go to production, and to scale down, instantly, when a potentially innovative big data experiment gets relegated to the dust bin.
And it also demands security, at all levels of the big data stack, to keep corporate and customer data safe and to keep intruders out of your insights.
For all these reasons, cloud computing and big data have been called a match made in heaven. Big data projects based in the cloud or on managed services enable companies to accelerate time-to-insight by rapidly acquiring and scaling big data infrastructure that previously had to be built from scratch. This empowers companies to speed big data solution deployment, reduce technology risk, and more quickly deliver business value.
Growing pressure to accelerate enterprise time-to-insight using data analytics
Need for agility to adapt to rapidly changing business demands — and skyrocketing data sources
Transition from pilot to production apps has unpredictable infrastructure scaling demands
Less capital-intensive — and often less expensive overall — than in-house solutions
Strong security protects vital customer and corporate data
The right cloud partner can provide end-to-end solutions, from planning to optimization, propelling time-to-successful-implementation

The Dallas Safari Club recently auctioned off the right to hunt down an Endangered Black Rhino for $350,000. While the government of Namibia has granted this permit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) must grant an additional import permit in order for the hunter to bring home his "trophy". In 2013 nearly 1000 rhinos have been poached in neighboring South Africa, while half of all Rhinos…
Yamaha is a major sponsor at the event in which the rights to hunt and kill an endangered Black Rhino are being auctioned off. Yamaha should pull their sponsorship until that auction item is removed and there is a commitment to fully protect black Rhinos by never using the permit.
Estimates put the global Black Rhino population at about 5,000. Namibia has a black rhino population of 1,795. This species population has decreased 90% since the 1960s and if we don't actively work to save everyone their time is running out. That is why it is totally irresponsible for this group to auction off a permit to shoot and kill an endangered Black Rhino. Also, this past March the…

population(redirected from open population)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia.
- the total number of people resident in a country at a particular point in time. The UK, for example, had a population of 59 million people in 2004. The size of the population is determined by past and present birth and death rates, together with net migration trends – the number of people leaving the country to live abroad (emigration) compared with the number entering the country to take up residence (immigration). The UK birth rate is currently 11 births per 1000 of the population per annum and the death rate 10 per 1000 of the population per annum. In most advanced countries, both birth and death rates have declined over the long run because of rising living standards and improved medical care; this has produced slow-growing, ageing populations.

- all possible observations of a certain phenomenon in statistical analysis, for example incomes of all people resident in a country. Where it is too time-consuming and expensive to record all possible observations it is necessary to take a SAMPLE, for example the incomes of 1000 citizens, and generalize about the incomes of all citizens from this sample.

You may have noticed that fierce panda is turning 17 years old even as we type. We certainly have. And so to celebrate this mildly momentous occasion, what finer thing to do than put together a 17-track compilation bringing together some of the very bestest new American acts on the underground scene? And then, how great would it be to release that compilation on cassette, like it was a knowing nod to 'C86' or something? Very great indeed my panda pals, very great indeed...

The Spiel: In the interests of public relations-related authenticity we should give you, the listener, some rudimentary information about all of the American underground acts featuring on this here limited edition cassette and non-limited edition download Tape Fear release. We could tell you which Colorado band has put out two albums on Two Syllables. We could tell you who comes from New Jersey and has had releases on the Underwater People, Half Machine and Mexican Summer labels. We could go on to describe precisely who is from Kentucky, Cleveland and California and then list the clusterbomb of bands straight outta Brooklyn. We could reveal which band is a Vivian Girls spin-off, which track features guest vocals from a Crocodile and which of these acts have been on Transparent or Captured Tracks or Hardly Art. We could even tell you that in the true spirit of Loud & Quiet one side of Tape Fear is quite loud and the other side is quite quiet. But that would be boring, And that is what the worldwide interweb is for. So lets do this instead:
Here are 17 tracks of¦
gruff trade-grabbing,
fuzzpedal-kicking funbags¦
¦for fierce pandas seventeenth birthday.
?ìseventeen years of tune-chewing shenanigans¬ù
