A good concept car should really push the limits of what's possible with regard to design and materials, and ideally leave you feeling just a bit uneasy, but in a good way. It needs to push boundaries and ideas, and I think Peugeot's managed that with their Fractal concept, even if the name sounds right out of 1994. »

As more intelligent IoT applications shift into gear, they're merging into the ever-increasing traffic flow of the Internet. It won't be long before we experience bottlenecks, as IoT traffic peaks during rush hours. Organizations that are unprepared will find themselves by the side of the road unable to cross back into the fast lane. As billions of new devices begin to communicate and exchange data – will your infrastructure be scalable enough to handle this new interconnected world?

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

I was still at school and lived with my grandparents - imagine how thrilled to bits I was when they bought me a sewing machine, overlocker and dressmakers dummy one christmas! I used to design and make clothes for my school friends and could often be found still sewing away at 3am in the kitchen!
While at university I continued my creative sewing by working as a tailor's seamstress for Homburg's theatrical costumiers of Leeds, England. Actually I starting sewing at the very young age of 8, making doll's clothes from the scraps of fabrics left over from my mum's sewing projects.

Article: Predictors of 30-day readmission & impact of same-day discharge in laparoscopic hysterectomy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To identify the pre-discharge predictors of 30-day readmission and the impact of same day discharge after laparoscopic hysterectomy. Patients undergoing only laparoscopic hysterectomy ± bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The 30-day readmission rate was 3.1% (277/8890).Factors predictive of higher rates of readmission were diabetes (4.4%vs 3.0%,p=0.03), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (8.5%vs 3.1%,p=0.02), disseminated cancer (20%vs 3.1%,p<0.001), chronic steroid use (7.1%vs 3.1%,p=0.03), daily alcohol use >2 drinks (12.5%vs 2.5%,p=0.04) and bleeding disorder (10.8%vs 3%,p=0.001). Operative factors included surgical time of greater than equal to 2 hours (3.5% vs. 2.7%,p=0.014). Post surgery, patients had a higher rate of readmission when they experienced any one or more complication prior to discharge, (6.9%vs.3.1%, p=0.01) as well as any complication after discharge (3.6%vs.1.6%, p=0.01). Infections (35.7%) and surgical complications (24.2%) were the most common reasons of readmissions. Of these patients, 20.9% were discharged the same day (n= 1855) and had similar rate of readmission (2.6% vs. 3.2%,p=n.s.). Laparoscopic hysterectomy readmission score (LHRS) can be calculated by assigning 1 point to diabetes, COPD, disseminated cancer, chronic steroid use, bleeding disorder, length of surgery >=2hrs and 2 points to any postoperative complication prior to discharge. Readmission rates for the LHRS score were score 1 (2.4%), score 2 (3.3%), score 3 (5.8%), score 4 (9.5%). Overall readmission rate after laparoscopic hysterectomy is low. Patients discharged the same day have similar rates of readmission. Higher LHRS is indicative of higher rates of readmission and may identify a population not suitable for same day discharge and in need of higher vigilance to prevent readmissions.

ABSTRACT: To describe challenges faced by low-middle income countries (LMICs) across the cancer spectrum, with specific focus on gynecologic cancers. MEDLINE was searched for research articles published in English between January 1, 2000-February 1, 2015 which reported on global health efforts in LMICs. An estimated 80% of global cancer burden and only 5% of global cancer spending affects LMICs. The overwhelming majority of cervical cancer cases and related deaths occur in LMICs. The charge to close this cancer divide is at the center of global health efforts. Prevention is central to global health efforts to close the cancer divide. The gynecologic oncology community is well positioned to lead efforts in global health by partnering with institutions, professional societies and advocacy groups. Copyright © 2015.

ABSTRACT: In gynecologic oncology, significant advances with improved patient outcomes have clearly and thankfully resulted from randomized clinical trials. The recent restructuring of cooperative groups and decreased funding for phase III clinical trials have unintentionally resulted in a 90% reduction of available trials and accrual in gynecologic oncology. This Commentary reviews the history of the underrepresentation of women in clinical trials, highlighting the challenges that threaten the viability of gynecologic oncology clinical research, resulting in a decreased likelihood of improving the survival of women with gynecologic cancer. We suggest an opportunity for partnering with the U.S. government and the private sector to enhance research funding opportunities while increasing advocacy efforts to reinvigorate our clinical trials platform.Obstetrics and Gynecology 03/2015; 125(3):1.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the predictive value of frailty index on 30-day Clavien class IV (requiring critical care support) and class V (30-day mortality) complications after gynecologic cancer surgery. Methods: Patients included in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) 2008-2011 had a final diagnosis of gynecologic malignancy. Modified frailty index (mFI) was calculated with 11 variables. Higher mFI scores indicated more severe comorbidities. Logistic regression was used to control for known predictors of complications. Results: Of the total 6551 patients, 188 (2.9%) of the patients experienced a Clavien IV/V complication. 2958 patients had a score of 0 (45.2%), 2405 patients had a score of 1 (36.7%), 985 patients had a score of 2 (15%), 162 patients had a score of 3 (2.5%) and 41 patients had a score≥4 (0.6%). The rates of Clavien IV/V complications were 2%, 2.7%, 4.4%, 7.4% and 24.4% for mFI scores of 0, 1, 2, 3 and ≥4, respectively (p<0.001). Variables found to be significant for predicting Clavien IV and V complications on logistic regression modeling were preoperative albumin<3g/dL (OR=6.5), operative time (OR=1.003 per min increase), non-laparoscopic surgery (OR=3.3), and frailty index (OR score 0=reference, score 1=1.26, score 2=1.9, score 3=2.33 and score≥4=12.5). Taking the two preoperative factors of albumin and mFI allowed for greater precision in identifying women who are at higher risk for requiring ICU care (>10% risk). Conclusions: Modified frailty index (mFI) is predictive of the need for critical care support and 30-day mortality after surgery for gynecologic cancer.Gynecologic Oncology 01/2015; 137(1).

Article: Risk Factors for Early-Occurring and Late-Occurring Incisional Hernias After Primary Laparotomy for Ovarian Cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate a cohort of gynecologic oncology patients to discover risk factors for early- and late-occurring incisional hernia after midline incision for ovarian cancer. We collected retrospective data from patients undergoing primary laparotomy for ovarian cancer at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics from 2001 to 2007. Patient characteristics and potential risk factors for hernia formation were noted. Physical examination, abdominal computerized assisted tomography scans, or both were used to detect hernias 1 year after surgery (early hernia) and 2 years after surgery (late hernia). There were 265 patients available for the 1-year analysis and 189 patients for the 2-year analysis. Early and late hernia formation occurred in 9.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.2-12%) and an additional 7.9% (95% CI 4.1-12%) of patients, respectively. Using multiple logistic regression, poor nutritional status (albumin less than 3 g/dL) and suboptimal cytoreductive surgery (1 cm or greater residual tumor) were significantly associated with the formation of early incisional hernia after midline incision (P<.001 for both). Late hernia formation was associated only with age 65 years or older (P=.01). The formation of early incisional hernias after midline incision is associated with poor nutritional status and suboptimal cytoreductive surgery, whereas late hernia formation is associated with advanced age.

Article: Intensive postoperative glucose control reduces the surgical site infection rates in gynecologic oncology patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: SSI rates after gynecologic oncology surgery vary from 5% to 35%, but are up to 45% in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Strict postoperative glucose control by insulin infusion has been shown to lower morbidity, but not specifically SSI rates. Our project studied continuous postoperative insulin infusion for 24h for gynecologic oncology patients with DM and hyperglycemia with a target blood glucose of <139 mL/dL and a primary outcome of the protocol's impact on SSI rates. Methods: We compared SSI rates retrospectively among three groups. Group 1 was composed of patients with DM whose blood glucose was controlled with intermittent subcutaneous insulin injections. Group 2 was composed of patients with DM and postoperative hyperglycemia whose blood glucose was controlled by insulin infusion. Group 3 was composed of patients with neither DM nor hyperglycemia. We controlled for all relevant factors associated with SSI. Results: We studied a total of 372 patients. Patients in Group 2 had an SSI rate of 26/135 (19%), similar to patients in Group 3 whose rate was 19/89 (21%). Both were significantly lower than the SSI rate (43/148, 29%) of patients in Group 1. This reduction of 35% is significant (p = 0.02). Multivariate analysis showed an odd ratio = 0.5 (0.28-0.91) in reducing SSI rates after instituting this protocol. Conclusions: Initiating intensive glycemic control for 24h after gynecologic oncology surgery in patients with DM and postoperative hyperglycemia lowers the SSI rate by 35% (OR = 0.5) compared to patients receiving intermittent sliding scale insulin and to a rate equivalent to non-diabetics.Gynecologic Oncology 09/2014; 136(1).

Article: Preoperative hypoalbuminemia is an independent predictor of poor perioperative outcomes in women undergoing open surgery for gynecologic malignancies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To quantify the impact of preoperative hypoalbuminemia on 30-day mortality and morbidity after gynecologic cancer surgery METHODS: Patients included in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) dataset who underwent any non-emergent surgery for gynecologic malignancy between 1/1/2008 and 12/31/2010 were identified. Analysis was conducted with albumin both as a dichotomous variable (< 3.5g/dl was defined as low albumin) and as a continuous variable to determine a clinically relevant cut-off value. Of the total 3171 patients identified, 2110 had preoperative albumin levels available for analysis. In addition, 279 (13.3%) of these patients had low albumin levels. According to multivariate analysis, the low albumin group had significantly higher odds of developing one or more post-operative complications (OR-2,CI: 1.47-2.73, p<0.0001), three or more complications (OR-4.1,CI: 2.31-7.1, p<0.0001), surgical complications (OR-2.39,CI: 1.59-3.58, p<0.0001), thromboembolic complications (OR-2.59,CI: 1.33-5.06, p<0.0001), pulmonary complications (OR-4.06,CI: 2.05-8.03, p<0.0001), or infectious complications (OR-1.84,CI: 1.26-2.69, p<0.0001) and a higher 30-day mortality (OR-6.52,CI: 2.51-16.95, p<0.0001). Upon subgroup analysis, this difference was not found in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. In patients undergoing open surgery, the probability of experiencing one or more post-operative complications increased linearly with the decrease in albumin level; however, the probability of patients experiencing three or more complications and 30-day mortality increased sharply as soon as the albumin level decreased below 3g/dl. Preoperative albumin levels<3g/dL identify a population of patients at a very high-risk of experiencing perioperative morbidity and 30-day mortality after open surgery.Gynecologic Oncology 08/2013; 131(2).

ABSTRACT: It is reasonable to perform complete lymphadenectomy in patients at significant risk of lymph node metastases, and use the results to guide adjuvant treatment decisions.(24,25) Criteria for staging based on intraoperative pathology should be determined in consultation with the pathologist, preferably with an institution-specific quality-assurance review.(34) Patients with more aggressive histologies should undergo a staging procedure including an omental biopsy whenever possible, with the understanding that most require systemic adjuvant therapy. Minimally invasive surgery is associated with shorter recovery and fewer postoperative complications than open endometrial cancer staging,(4,5,45) with preliminary data showing similar oncologic outcomes (Walker and colleagues, late breaking abstract SGO 2010 Annual Meeting). Whenever feasible, patients should be offered minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancer staging. Retrospective data support an attempt at complete cytoreduction in patients with advanced endometrial cancer and a good performance status.(8-12) The decision to perform aggressive cytoreductive surgery should be individualized, taking into account the patient's comorbidities, her performance status, her symptoms, and the risks associated with more aggressive surgical procedures.Hematology/oncology clinics of North America 02/2012; 26(1):79-91.

Article: Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Recommendation May be Linked to Reimbursement: A Survey of Virginia Family Practitioners and Gynecologists[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Concerns have been raised about gynecologists as vaccinators. This survey evaluated use of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, attitudes, and barriers among gynecologists and family practitioners for differences between the 2 specialties. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a 50-item, self-administered questionnaire mailed to participants. The study was conducted in Virginia through the University of Virginia Center for Survey Research. The questionnaire was mailed to 500 family practitioners and 500 gynecologists. The questionnaire asked provider and practice demographics, vaccine practices, knowledge, HPV vaccine attitudes, and barriers to vaccination. We compared gynecologists to family practitioners for the outcome of offering HPV vaccination. Logistic regression was performed to determine factors associated with providers choosing to offer and recommend the HPV vaccine. After exclusion of ineligible physicians, 385 of 790 doctors responded (48.7%). Seventy percent of family practitioners and 73.5% of gynecologists currently offer the HPV vaccine. There were no significant differences in demographics or practice patterns between the specialties. The most frequent barrier to vaccination reported by both groups was reimbursement. In multivariate logistic regression, inadequate reimbursement was negatively associated with offering the HPV vaccine (odds ratio [OR] 0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.15-1.1) and with recommending the vaccine to patients (OR 0.45; 95% CI 0.26-0.76). Experience treating HPV- related disease was positively associated with offering the HPV vaccine (OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.1-4.8). Gynecologists are providing HPV vaccination at rates similar to family practitioners. Reimbursement concerns may negatively have an impact on doctors' recommendation of the HPV vaccine.Journal of pediatric and adolescent gynecology 09/2011; 24(6):380-5.

Article: Rice LWHormone prevention strategies for breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers. Gynecol Oncol 118(2): 202-207[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The development of effective prevention strategies for breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers (CA), based on hormonal responsiveness, is a paramount opportunity in the care of women at risk for these malignancies. Breast CA prevention, utilizing Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) is a well-established paradigm in the management of high risk women. Aromatase inhibitors (AI) and prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy are presently under investigation for that same purpose. Endometrial carcinoma (EC), specifically Type 1, is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States. Its positive association with excess estrogen exposure provides significant opportunity for hormonal chemoprevention. Population-based studies have established that oral contraceptives (OC) significantly decrease the incidence of this malignancy. This risk reduction lasts up to 20 years after discontinuation of OCs. The association between elevated BMI and risk of developing EC (due to increased peripheral estrogen exposure) has prompted investigation into the role of weight reduction in EC prevention. The prevention of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is of particular interest given its high mortality rate and the lack of a cost-effective screening program. OC usage significantly diminishes the incidence of EOC, in both the general population, as well as in patients with BRCA 1 or 2 mutations. Risk reduction is greatest with prolonged usage and persists for more than 30 years after OC use, but diminishes over time. Prospective, randomized trials, designed to control for all known variables, are mandatory to fully assess the potential for hormonal chemoprevention in breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers.Gynecologic Oncology 08/2010; 118(2):202-7.

ABSTRACT: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) continues to be the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Efforts to personalize chemotherapy treatments by utilizing in vitro tumor assays to predict chemotherapeutic response have been tested in both the primary and recurrent treatment setting. To date, several retrospective studies have suggested improved response rates to predicted chemotherapeutic agents. However, a prospective, controlled trial merely found equivalence between in vitro prediction and empirical treatment selection. This review summarizes the current data regarding in vitro directed chemotherapy in EOC.Reviews in obstetrics and gynecology 01/2010; 3(2):49-54.
Article: A Clinical and Biological Comparison Between Malignant Mixed Müllerian Tumors and Grade 3 Endometrioid Endometrial Carcinomas[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To examine the clinicopathologic features, progression-free interval, and survival of patients with grade 3 endometrioid endometrial cancer (G3 EEC) and malignant mixed müllerian tumors (MMMTs). Akt, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and HER-2/neu expression in these histologic subtypes was also investigated. Associations between phosphorylated Akt and clinicopathologic features were tested. One hundred nineteen women whose conditions were diagnosed with MMMT or G3 EEC from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 2003, met inclusion criteria. Retrospective data review was performed. In addition, Akt and EGFR protein expression was measured in tissue samples using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to assay HER-2/neu gene amplification. Fifty-nine patients with MMMT and 60 patients with G3 EEC were identified. Patients with MMMT were older (P = 0.055), more likely to be African American (P = 0.049), have a family history of breast cancer (P = 0.039), have disease involving the uterine cervix (P = 0.007), and experience postoperative complications (P = 0.012). Patients with MMMT had a significantly shorter progression-free interval (23 vs 57 months, P = 0.001) and survival (55 vs 92 months, P = 0.001) than patients with G3 EEC.Grade 3 EEC and MMMT have significantly higher phospho-Akt levels than grade 1 EEC and normal controls. Phospho-Akt was associated with depth of myometrial invasion (r = 0.46, P = 0.05), but not with stage, lymph-vascular space invasion, or tumor size. The mesenchymal component of MMMT preferentially demonstrated EGFR expression relative to the epithelial component (45% vs 13%, P = 0.06). HER-2/neu amplification was observed in 1 of 37 samples. Improved therapy is warranted for both poorly differentiated EEC and MMMT. Recognition of similarities and differences between MMMT and other high-grade histologic types of uterine cancer may provide rationale for new treatment approaches possibly incorporating targeted biological therapies.International Journal of Gynecological Cancer 01/2009; 19(2):261-5.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to implement a uniform system for assigning tumor grade in serous ovarian cancer and evaluate its correlation with response to conventional chemotherapy. Serous ovarian cancer tumor samples were retrospectively reviewed by 3 pathologists who were blinded to the original report. Samples were scored for architectural pattern, nuclear pleomorphism, and mitotic activity. Sum scores from these 3 indices were used to classify tumors as low grade or high grade. A total of 21 patients were identified as low-grade tumors and 21 were identified as high-grade tumors. Of low-grade tumors, 16 (76%) were found to be platinum resistant, defined as recurrent or persistent disease, 180 days from completion of the final cycle of chemotherapy, Of 21 patients defined as high grade, 9 (43%) were platinum resistant (P = .028). Utilization of a uniform grading system retrospectively correlates with platinum sensitivity.American journal of obstetrics and gynecology 06/2008; 199(2):189.e1-6.

ABSTRACT: Patients with stage IB2 cervical cancer at our institution are treated primarily with definitive chemoradiation, or chemoradiation followed by adjuvant hysterectomy. We sought to compare the cost differences associated with these two strategies. We identified all patients with stage IB2 cervical cancer who received their entire treatment regimen at our institution between 1995 and 2004. All patients received a combination of chemotherapy, external beam radiation, and one brachytherapy procedure, followed by either a second brachytherapy procedure or a simple hysterectomy. We retrieved cost data associated with hospitalization for the completion of respective treatment, including pharmacy, laboratory and pathology, radiation, and operating room services, as well as the costs of supplies and room and board. We identified 46 patients with stage IB2 cervical cancer, 23 who received a second brachytherapy procedure and 23 who underwent simple hysterectomy. Patients displayed similar demographics and similar disease characteristics including initial tumor diameter and histology. The cost of care for adjuvant hysterectomy group was greater ($8,316.70 vs 5,508.70, P < 0.0001). Specific differences included higher operating room costs ($1520 vs 414, P < 0.0001), pharmacy costs ($675 vs 342, P < 0.0001), and laboratory/pathology costs ($597 vs 89, P < 0.0001). We conclude that definitive chemoradiation appears to be associated with lower costs for management of stage IB2 cervical cancer when compared to simple adjuvant hysterectomy.International Journal of Gynecological Cancer 03/2008; 18(2):274-8.

- BlackBerry (BBRY -3.8%) has hired Eric Johnson, formerly SAP's (SAP -0.3%) GM of Global Database and Technology (covers SAP's Hana and Sybase products) to be its global sales chief. (PR)
- Like several other recent BlackBerry hires, Johnson is a former colleague of CEO/ex-Sybase chief John Chen. Since taking over in November, Chen has also hired former SAP execs to be BlackBerry's enterprise services and corporate development chiefs, and an ex-Sybase exec to be its head of marketing.
- Johnson will take over a salesforce that has been downsized considerably over the last year, and which (judging by Chen's comments) appears set to have a stronger enterprise focus going forward.
- Shares continue to trade lower thanks to Oppenheimer's downgrade, which was motivated by concerns about further hardware and services sales declines.

- Responsys (MKTG +40.4%) closed today at $27.40, $0.40 above Oracle's (ORCL -0.6%) $27/share acquisition price. Meanwhile, fellow cloud marketing automation software firms Marketo (MKTO +11.3%) and Constant Contact (CTCT +6.8%) closed up sharply.
- Sources tell the WSJ SAP (SAP +0.8%) was "among the final bidders" for Responsys before Responsys decided to sell to Oracle. An analyst talking to the paper thinks Responsys' trading price suggests investors are betting on an SAP counteroffer arriving.
- FBR, on the other hand, thinks Oracle's deal could lead either SAP or NetSuite (N +2.2%) to acquire Marketo. Both SAP (courtesy of the hybris acquisition) and NetSuite (via its SuiteCommerce platform) are major players in e-commerce infrastructure software, but neither have leading positions in online marketing automation.
- Forrester argues Oracle's move will improve the company's "capable but otherwise moribund" marketing software lineup. Goldman notes Oracle is paying 8x Responsys' recurring annual revenue - a steep multiple, but less than the 11x it paid for Eloqua.

- BlackBerry (BBRY) has hired John Sims, formerly the head of SAP's mobile services ops, to be its enterprise services chief. (PR)
- Sims is a former colleague of chairman/interim CEO John Chen, who joined SAP via its acquisition of Sybase. His' hiring comes as several execs depart as part of an apparent housecleaning effort launched by Chen, who has suggested BlackBerry will be an enterprise-focused company going forward.
- Though holding up somewhat better than its hardware sales, BlackBerry's services revenue has been pressured this year by subscriber losses and a decision to offer basic (consumer-oriented) services for little or no cost to BB10 users.
Dec. 12, 2013, 4:13 PM
- Beauty products giant Avon (AVP -1.3%) expects to take a $100M-$125M charge related to the failed rollout of an SAP-based (SAP -0.6%) order management software system. The WSJ states the system was "so burdensome and disruptive to Avon representatives' daily routine that they left in meaningful numbers."
- As Steve Rosenbush notes, Avon's decision, and the employee backlash that triggered it, shines a light on how corporate workers are increasingly demanding the business apps they use be as intuitive and user-friendly as the consumer apps they rely upon.
- This trend, which ties into the "consumerization" of IT, poses a challenge to traditional enterprise software giants such as SAP, Oracle (ORCL), and IBM, and often works to the benefit of enterprise cloud software providers whose offerings emphasize ease-of-use and flexibility over the richest possible feature set.

- SAP has been upgraded to Overweight by Barclays. Shares +1.3% premarket.
- Ericsson (ERIC) has been upgraded to Buy by Banco Santander. Shares +2%.
- Millennial Media (MM) has been cut to Neutral by Goldman two days after it posted a disappointing Q3 report (I, III).
- GOGO has been cut to Underweight by Morgan Stanley following a huge run-up in response to a strong Q3 report and a positive FAA ruling. Two other firms have already downgraded the in-flight Wi-Fi provider since its Q3 report. Shares -3.1%.
- ARM (ARMH) has been started at Outperform by JMP.

- "Blackberry doesn't fit with our strategy," says SAP (SAP +0.6%) CFO Werner Brandt, shooting down reports the German software giant is interested in parts of BlackBerry (BBRY -0.2%). Cisco, Samsung, and Google have also been reported to be interested in acquiring some of the struggling smartphone vendor's assets.
- Meanwhile, the new Android/iOS BBM apps has received a harsh review from The Verge, and a muted review from The Inquirer. The former only gave the apps a score of 5.0/10, while criticizing their "ugly design" and the absence of features offered by rival mobile messaging services, such as voice calls, video chats, and location sharing. The latter likes the apps' "reasonably smooth" UI and invite features, but sees them having trouble standing out in a crowded landscape.
- Also: Complaints have come in about fake BBM reviews on Google Play, where the app maintains a user rating of 4.2/5 stars. BlackBerry says it had nothing to do with the fake reviews.
- Previous: BBM Android/iOS downloads top 10M
Oct. 24, 2013, 12:09 AM
- Ahead of tomorrow's Q3 report, NetSuite (N) has struck a deal to acquire TribeHR, a developer of cloud HR apps aimed at SMBs. NetSuite plans to fuse the startup's offerings with its SMB-focused cloud ERP apps.
- "Really there has been no HR offering in the mid-market," states NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson (a little hyperbolically). He sees an intergrated ERP/HR solution allowing SMBs to do away with manual HR processes, and also talks up the value of TribeHR's social/collaboration tools.
- The purchase means NetSuite will compete more with Workday (WDAY), which leads the cloud HR market and also offers cloud ERP software. But Workday has a stronger focus on large enterprises. Ultimate Software (ULTI), Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD), and Paylocity (reportedly eying an IPO) also compete in cloud HR.
- Separately, NetSuite and others see an opportunity for the company to poach clients from SAP's SMB-focused Business ByDesign cloud apps, which the German software giant has decided to pare its investments in. NetSuite has launched a Business ByDesign migration program.
- SAP has reportedly invested €3B in Business ByDesign development over 7 years, but the platform has never generated more than €23M/year in sales in 3 years of availability. Business ByDesign resources will be shifted towards SAP's Hana Cloud, which runs cloud apps on top of the popular Hana in-memory database.
Oct. 21, 2013, 9:15 AM
Oct. 21, 2013, 1:56 AM
- SAP's (SAP) Q3 adjusted operating profit rose 5% to €1.3B, slightly below consensus of €1.32B.
- Revenue +2% to €4.05B.
- Sales from license sales declined for the second quarter in a row and dropped 5% to €975M vs expectations of €988M, hurt by sharp currency swings in Asia and the Americas.
- Sales from cloud subscriptions more than doubled to €197M, while revenue from SAP's Hana database software jumped 79% to €149M. Over 2,100 customers use the product.
- SAP reiterated its July forecast that it expects double-digit percentage growth in revenue for software and software-related services, excluding forex fluctuations. However, the company expects currency swings to hurt its overall earnings. (PR)

- Bloomberg reports BlackBerry (BBRY) is "more open to a breakup" as doubts continue to swirl Fairfax Financial will be able to obtain the funding needed for its $9/share bid to succeed.
- The news service adds SAP, Cisco (CSCO), and Samsung (SSNLF.PK, SSNGY.OB) were "approached last week by BlackBerry advisers," and indicated they're "only interested in parts of the company." That provides a bit of color to Saturday's Reuters report.
- Intel (INTC) is said to be open to bidding for BlackBerry's patents, but nothing else.
- Earlier: Canadian pension fund still weighing BlackBerry investment
Oct. 5, 2013, 12:25 PM
- Blackberry (BBRY) is in talks with Cisco Systems (CSCO), Google (GOOG), and SAP (SAP) about selling itself whole or piecemeal according to "several sources," Reuters reports.
- The strategic buyer route provides an alternative to Fairfax's $9/share bid (~$4.7B), which some speculate has little chance of securing financing. P-E firm Cerberus has also expressed interest in the ailing company.
- According to sources, potential corporate buyers have been "especially interested in BlackBerry's secure server network and patent portfolio, although doubts about the assets' value remains an issue." Analysts believe Blackberry's security-focused messaging system could be worth $3B-$4.5B, and its patent trove $2B-$3B. However, a company filing disclosed that the value of its patent portfolio and licensing agreements could halve in the next 18 months.
- TechCrunch speculates that "an enterprise-focused bidder — such as SAP or Cisco — might make the best fit for BlackBerry's security-focused messaging handset business at this point, with the consumer smartphone marketplace now primarily centred on Android and iOS."
Oct. 2, 2013, 10:28 AM
- SAP's VC arm, SAP Ventures, is pouring $650M (all coming from the parent company) into Ventures Fund II, a new fund that will invest in fast-growing companies with "established market presences."
- Ventures Fund II follows the recent launch of a $405M fund investing in 3rd-party VC funds making bets on early-stage companies, with an eye towards getting companies to support the Hana in-memory database and other SAP technologies. Altogether, SAP Ventures now manages $1.4B worth of VC funds.
- Past investments include LinkedIn, Box (could do a big IPO next year), Violin Memory (just went public), and ExactTarget (acquired by Salesforce for $2.5B).

Blacks hold 2 out of 8 -- or 25 percent -- of the Congressional seats in Maryland, and represent 30 percent of the population at large. This is hardly a screaming disparity. Indeed, a third black congressman would result in an over-representation in Congress. The fact that blacks are represented in Congress in accordance with their population numbers is proof that there is no racist districting in the state.
The NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice have way too much time on their hands, and maybe it's time that they stopped spending all their time obsessed on race. The whole debate is tiresome, and no longer necessary.
Should we also go for Hispanic proportional representation-- how about Asian, Muslim, Jewish, Native American. Gender and Sexual Orientation up next. Constitutional amendment to do away with states and substitute tribe or association (self defined-- choose one only: you can be a woman or African American or gay/lesbian but not all three.)
"maybe it's time that they stopped spending all their time obsessed on race"
Of course, then these "social justice" activists will have to get real jobs, and without any more claims of victimization will have to claim responsibility for themselves.
"get real jobs" . . . and by this I mean a job which produces something tangible. Maybe the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice should take all of its talent, time, money and other resources into building a manufacturing plant which will employ many people of all races. Wouldn't this be a much more productive enterprise?
@Anonymous 9:41am
That's why that need to elect an interracial congress-person that's either 1/4 black or 1/2 black (puts them at 29% and 32% respectively). That would make their representation about right.
"without any more claims of victimization will have to claim responsibility for themselves"
In other words, I'm saying stop spending time and money challenging districting, and redirect it to fielding and supporting more candidates of your choosing (whether black or white or whatever) in those districts. I mean goodness gracious, we have a black President and black governors as a result of elections where by definition there was no tilting through districting, and I really think NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice need to have more faith in the American people, and stop thinking that there's racist districting going on which prevents them from having three instead of two Congressmen from Maryland.
I think it's kind of sick that race is talked about so much. If the people's political ideology is present, who cares about the color of someone's skin?
Political leaders should view themselves, and be viewed by the people, as representatives of all of their constituents. There is nothing more pernicious than the notion that only a [insert race] leader can represent people of that race. If voters believe their interests are only served by a person of the same skin color then they will feel disenfranchised whenever a person not exactly like themselves is elected. If political leaders view themselves as racial representatives, then those voters will be right to feel disenfranchised. Disenfranchisement leads to bitterness and a perpetuation of racial divisions and hostilities for yet another generation.
Imagine the outcry is this headline read "Maryland Whites Seek Greater Voting Power in Congress."

Having watched the video of the Jerusalem Light Rail system, I am absolutely horrified that the trams make a noise - that is all that we need, more noise. Also, there aren't so many seats in each carriage - and also facing the wrong way. I was recently involved in a bus accident in London where the seats face each other (like on a train) and fell forward and whacked my head on the seat in front, suffering a brain injury. This is not good. There are also not enough seats, and many pregnant women and people will not enjoy just hanging onto the rails in the middle of the tram. What will happen is that the pregnant women and elderly will have the seats and everybody else will have to stand. I was always really happy with the Jerusalem buses, as the seats were really close together. The only downside was one got on and off a bus with the drivers driving off at high speed. Please bring back the buses!!!

Airtime sales peak as crowds attend funeral
GOVERNMENT| Aug. 11, 2012, 9:09 a.m.
By Nana Appiah Acquaye, Accra, Ghana
Ten of thousands of mourning Ghanaians from the length and breath of the country, and the international community both within and outside the West African sub region, thronged to Accra's Independence Square on Friday to bid the late President H.E Prof. John Evans Atta Mills farewell as he was laid to rest at the Geese Park in Accra.
Telco operators, as part of their contributions to ensure a smooth communications flow within the three-day period of the funeral rites, stepped up promotions that allowed subscribers to enjoy free talk time within certain time frames.
While they mourn with all Ghanaians, the telco industry geared up, doing brisk business at Independence Square, where the mortal remains of the late president were laid for the last public viewing by international dignitaries, including US secretary of state Hillary Clinton and 16 African heads of states.
Call cards of all the six telcos, especially MTN, Vodafone, Tigo and Airtel, were in high demand at the funeral grounds, with some even being sold at higher prices because of the shortage in availability.
According to one retail agent operating opposite one of the Stadium Gates close to Independence Square, business was really booming for her. She said her call cards had run out because demand had shot up in the last three days .
BiztechAfrica also spotted vans of some of the telco companies replenishing stocks of their retail agents at the funeral ground on Friday.
Telco companies like Vodafone and Airtel whose official colour, red, blends with the mourning cloths of the occasion, were highly visible as their sales agents were spotted all around the venue grounds.
Meanwhile, Ghana's largest network operator, MTN, introduced a two minutes talk time promotion which was created to celebrate the life of Prof. JEA Mills. Subscribers of the network were to use the free talk time remember the achievements, dedication and humility that he left behind as a legacy for Ghanaians.
