Advanced Analytics
Advanced Analytics: Advanced Analytics mean the analysis of structured and unstructured data through the use of sophisticated statistical methods of prediction and forecasting tools able to extract and infer information that traditional methods of BI, such as Query and Reporting, are unable to provide. The purpose is the formulation of accurate forecasts and predictions for the optimization of planning processes and the identification of new opportunities. The Advanced Analytics is the core expertise of i4C.

Embed the Advanced Analytics in business processes, with the aim of producing forecasts and / or prediction correct and reliable. i4C AAA offers highly contextualized processes in the target market, to allow the Manager to reduce costs, increase revenues and achieve business goals.
Predictive Analytics: Predictive Analytics are the statistical techniques and data analysis aimed to analyze the historical facts to make predictions about future events. The Predictive Analytics capture the relationships between various factors in such a way as to allow assessment of current or potential risk associated with a set of conditions. These are widely used in various analytical fields: actuarial science, marketing, financial services, insurance, telecommunications, retail, travel, healthcare, pharmaceuticals. i4C solve core business problems by applying Predictive Analytics.
Forecasting: a statistical technique headed to predictive analytics able to analyze the past history, and grasp the regularities in order to predict future events. To obtain accurate predictions it is necessary to apply methods of forecasting belonging to Advanced Analytics. The Advanced Analytic Applications i4C contextualize the methods of forecasting in the vertical markets of reference.
Energy Trade Risk Management: Applications of Energy Trading and Risk Management Platforms are tools for optimizing the physical and financial positions of multiple commodities, necessary to operate on energy markets and platforms. Gartner ETRM platforms splits it into a component of the Transaction / Deal Capture, an area of logistics and delivery of energy, analytical support for trading, analysis tools and the position of the portfolio and risk management component.

Business intelligence: Business Intelligence means "transformation of data and information into knowledge." The tools used allow business user to make strategic decisions based on accurate, current and relevant information but always pointing to the past. It is often confused with Predictive Analytics, but BI is essentially based on flexible data presentation, and therefore is not able to extrapolate and infer information about the future, which instead is the main characteristic of the Advanced Analytics. i4C is focused on Predictive Analytics and Advanced, and then falls to a level of maturity in the use of more advanced information.

National Park Service
The Fern Lake Fire burns in Rocky Mountain National Park's Forest Canyon area in this file photo from Nov. 9.
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colo. — A wind-stoked fire has burned at least one cabin and forced the evacuation of several areas in and near Rocky Mountain National Park.
"While not as strong as past days, winds will continue to be an issue for the Fern Lake fire," Jon Erdman, a meteorologist with The Weather Channel, said Sunday.
"Furthermore, only a little light snow is possible overnight Sunday into early Monday," he added. "Given this fire has burned since early October, this won't be enough to effectively snuff out the flames."
Fire spokeswoman Traci Weaver said the Fern Lake Fire grew rapidly Saturday morning, but winds have since died down, allowing crews to gain the upper hand.
"Right now we are cautiously optimistic because we've been able to stop the fire, its forward spread," Weaver said. "What we really need is snow."
(MORE: Wildfire Safety & Preparedness)
Two heavy air tankers have been ordered, but Weaver said Saturday afternoon the aircraft remained in California because of heavy fog and poor visibility.
Nick Christensen with the Larimer County Sheriff's Office said evacuations remained in place for the Highway 66 corridor and all adjacent streets. The east side of Rocky Mountain National Park also was closed.
About 1,100 evacuation and pre-evacuation notifications were sent to phones in the area. However, officials said Saturday some evacuation orders already had been lifted, and the fire has so far been confined to the park.
The cabin that burned was in the park's Kaley Cottages area.
The blaze was reported Oct. 9 and was likely caused by an illegal campfire. According to the fire incident report website Inciweb, the Fern Lake Fire had scorched more than 3,500 acres by late Saturday. While earlier reports indicated the fire was 40 percent contained, the NPS said late Saturday that no containment estimates could be provided.
No injuries have been reported.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

4.1.7. MinSpareServers, MaxSpareServers, StartServers, MaxClients, and MaxRequestsPerChild |
MinSpareServers, MaxSpareServers, StartServers, and MaxClients are standard Apache configuration directives that control the number of servers being launched at server startup and kept alive during the server's operation. When Apache starts, it spawns StartServers child processes. Apache makes sure that at any given time there will be at least MinSpareServers but no more than MaxSpareServers idle servers. However, the MinSpareServers rule is completely satisfied only if the total number of live servers is no bigger than MaxClients.
MaxRequestsPerChild lets you specify the maximum number of requests to be served by each child. When a process has served MaxRequestsPerChild requests, the parent kills it and replaces it with a new one. There may also be other reasons why a child is killed, so each child will not necessarily serve this many requests; however, each child will not be allowed to serve more than this number of requests. This feature is handy to gain more control of the server, and especially to avoid child processes growing too big (RAM-wise) under mod_perl.
These five directives are very important for getting the best performance out of your server. The process of tuning these variables is described in great detail in Chapter 11.

Rochelle M. "Chellie" Pingree (born April 2, 1955) is an American politician. She is a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Maine's 1st congressional district since 2009. The district includes most of the southern part of the state, including Portland and Augusta.
Pingree was a member of the Maine Senate from 1992 to 2000, serving as majority leader from 1996 to 2000. She was an unsuccessful candidate for the United States Senate in 2002, losing to Republican Susan Collins. From 2003 to 2006, she was President and CEO of Common Cause. She is the first Democratic woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Maine.
Early life, education, and early career[edit]
Pingree was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but has lived in Maine since she was a teenager. She attended the University of Southern Maine and graduated from College of the Atlantic with a degree in Human Ecology. Since graduating from College of the Atlantic, she has lived in North Haven, a small island community 12 miles off Rockland.
Pingree held various farming and care-taking jobs until 1981, when she started North Island Yarn, a cottage industry of hand knitters with a retail store on North Haven. Her business expanded and became North Island Designs, employing as many as ten workers. They began marketing knitting kits and pattern books nationwide through 1,200 retail stores and 100,000 mail order catalogues. Through North Island Designs, Pingree authored and produced five knitting books between 1986 and 1992. Eisenhower Fellowships selected Chellie Pingree as a USA Eisenhower Fellow in 1997.
Common Cause[edit]
As the leader of Common Cause, Pingree strengthened the organization's programs in media reform and elections, while maintaining programs in ethics and money in politics. Among the specific issues she championed at Common Cause are Net Neutrality; Mandatory Voter-Verified Paper Ballots; Public Financing of Congressional Elections; National Popular Vote (a work-around of the Electoral College), and an Independent Ethics Commission for Congress. She stepped down from Common Cause in February 2007 to return to her home state and run for Congress in 2008.[2]
Maine Senate[edit]
Pingree was first elected in 1992 at the age of 37, defeating a popular Republican incumbent. She was outspoken against going to war against Iraq, although counseled by party insiders to avoid that subject. She won re-election in 1994[3] and 1996. In 2000, she was forced to leave the Legislature due to term limits.
Pingree served as the Senate Majority Leader in the Maine Senate representing Knox County. She was elected Maine's second female Senate Majority Leader on December 4, 1996.
During her tenure as a state legislator, Pingree led several economic development initiatives including landmark legislation to enhance small business opportunities and keep businesses in Maine. She gained nationwide headlines when she authored the nation's first bill regulating prescription drug prices, Maine Rx. Pingree also shepherded Maine's largest land-bill initiative, Land for Maine's Future.[4]
2002 run for U.S. Senate[edit]
In 2002, Pingree made an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican junior U.S. Senator Susan Collins. Collins, a popular moderate incumbent, won by a margin of 16%.[5]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
- 2008
In April 2007, Pingree filed papers for her bid to run for Maine's 1st congressional district.[6] On August 15, 2007, EMILY's List endorsed Pingree's campaign for Congress in Maine's 1st District.[7][8] In December 2007 she also received the endorsement of 21st Century Democrats.[9] She was endorsed by a number of labor organizations and many individuals and state officials, including Congressman Rush D. Holt, Jr.; Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky; Maine Senate Majority Leader Libby Mitchell; former Maine Senate Assistant Majority Leader Anne Rand; State Representative Paulette Beaudoin; State Representative Nancy Smith; progressive writer and activist Jim Hightower; the United Auto Workers; Planned Parenthood, and the League of Conservation Voters.[10]
The top contributors to Pingree's campaign were securities and investment industries, providing roughly $123,900 in funding. Key contributors include Paloma Partners, Caremi Partners, and the J Street PAC.
Pingree was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on November 4, 2008. She was sworn into Congress on January 6, 2009.[11]
- 2010
In 2010, Pingree ran for reelection, and won, defeating Republican challenger Dean Scontras by a 57-43 margin. She overcame strong anti-Democrat and anti-incumbent political sentiment to become just one of eight Democrats in the House of Representatives to receive a higher percentage of the vote than in 2008.
- 2012
On February 29, 2012, an Associated Press story mentioned that Pingree was starting to circulate petitions to run for the U.S. Senate seat that was vacated by the retirement of Olympia Snowe, which she confirmed on The Rachel Maddow Show later that night.[12] She withdrew her name from the race on March 7, indicating that she would run for re-election.[13]
In September 2010, a video surfaced on the internet showing Pingree disembarking in a private jet at Portland International Jetport owned by her then-fiancé, hedge fund manager S. Donald Sussman. This drew criticism because of past statements Pingree had made that were critical about legislators using private aircraft.[14][15][16] The House Ethics Committee, in a bipartisan letter, stated the travel was permissible under House ethics rules.[17]
Pingree announced on April 26, 2013 that she would not run for Governor of Maine in the 2014 election. She stated that she was "happy" to serve in the House, and that the possibility of a three-way race also factored into her decision.[18]
Legislation sponsored[edit]
On May 23, 2013, Rep. Chellie Pingree introduced the York River Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2013 (H.R. 2197; 113th Congress) into the United States House of Representatives. If passed, the bill would require the National Park Service (NPS) to study a segment of the York River in the state of Maine for potential addition to the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.[19] The study would be to determine how the proposed designation would affect current recreational and commercial activities.[20] The study would cost approximately $500,000.[21]
Committee assignments[edit]
- Committee on Appropriations (2013–Present)
- Committee on Agriculture (2009-2012)
- Committee on Armed Services (2009-2012)
Caucus memberships[edit]
Congressional Progressive Caucus (Vice-Chair)
Political positions[edit]
On her campaign website, Pingree lists supporting small business in Maine, holding banks and credit cards accountable for consumer protection, increasing Maine manufacturing jobs and preventing the overseas outsourcing of these jobs as key elements of her economic strategy.[22] Pingree's goals additionally include working towards health care reform, increasing women's rights and equality in the workplace, acquiring more sources of clean energy, and ending the war in Afghanistan.[22]
Interest group ratings[edit]
Pingree consistently receives high approval ratings from labor, pro-choice, and environmental interest groups.[23] In 2010, Pingree received a rating of 100% from the AFL-CIO, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the League of Conservation Voters.[23] Pingree typically receives moderate to low approval ratings from socially and economically conservative groups such as the American Family Association and Citizens Against Government Waste, who in 2009 gave Pingree ratings of 0% and 1% respectively. In 2010 the American political magazine National Journal gave Pingree a Composite Conservative rating of 9%, and a Composite Liberal rating of 92%.[23]
Other issues[edit]
Pingree helped draft the Fair Elections Now Act, a proposal to provide public 'Fair Elections' funding for popular candidates who raised a sufficient number of small local contributions.[24] Pingree has spoken out against the 2011 Supreme Court ruling McComish v. Bennett, which limited public financing systems for congressional candidate campaigns. The representative favors a campaign finance system that provides increased opportunities for candidates who lack the benefits of private interest and independent expenditure committee funding.[24]
Pingree has consistently voted against resolutions promoting aggressive foreign policy.[25] Pingree voted "yea" in March 2011 on a resolution to remove forces from Afghanistan. In June 2011, Pingree voted "yea" on House Resolution 292, preventing President Barack Obama from deploying ground forces in Libya.[25]

Organic Poultry Farms Have Lower Levels of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Conventional farms that went organic saw fewer resistant germs in the first flock, researchers found
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Poultry farms that have made the transition from conventional to organic farming have significantly lower levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria than conventional poultry farms, a new study finds.
Scientists are concerned about the use of antibiotics in farm animals because it has been shown to contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can spread to humans.
The researchers said they expected to see some differences in the farm levels of antibiotic-resistant enterococci when poultry farms transitioned to organic practices.
"But we were surprised to see that the differences were so significant across several different classes of antibiotics -- even in the very first flock that was produced after the transition to organic standards," study leader Amy Sapkota, an assistant professor with the Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health, said in a university news release. "It is very encouraging."
The University of Maryland researchers tested 10 newly organic and 10 conventional poultry houses for the presence of enterococci bacteria in poultry litter, feed and water. Any enteroccoci bacteria found by the researchers was checked for resistance to 17 common antimicrobials.
"We chose to study enterococci because these microorganisms are found in all poultry, including poultry on both organic and conventional farms. The enterococci are also notable opportunistic pathogens in human patients staying in hospitals," Sapkota said.
As expected, enterococci bacteria was found at all the farms. However, the organic farms had much lower levels of single and multiple antibiotic-resistant enterococci.
The study was published online Aug. 10 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
"While we know that the dynamics of antibiotic resistance differ by bacterium and antibiotic, these findings show that, at least in the case of enterococci, we begin to reverse resistance on farms even among the first group of animals that are grown without antibiotics. Now we need to look forward and see what happens over five years, 10 years in time," Sapkota said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- An instructor for the Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at George Washington High School was arrested this week on sexual abuse charges.
Martin Dale Kirby, 44, of Dunbar, was charged with sexual abuse by a parent, guardian or custodian, Cpl. B.D. Humphreys of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department said.
He was arrested Monday and was taken to the South Central Regional Jail. He later posted bail and was freed.
The alleged victim said she had sexual contact with Kirby more than once in September 2010 at the school. Kirby admitted to having sex with the student, Humphreys said.
Kirby was arrested by detectives with the Kanawha Bureau of Investigation, who investigated the case along with agents from the FBI's Cyber Crimes Task Force.
Police want anyone with information about the case to call Detective D.A. Scurlock, at 304-357-4670.
Kirby had served as a sergeant major in the U.S. Army before joining the school as an instructor. He teaches eight JROTC and learning skills classes, according to the school's website. The alleged victim had been a student in his class.
Humphreys said he couldn't say when deputies became aware of the abuse or if the alleged victim still attends the school.
Kanawha County school board President Pete Thaw said Tuesday night that he had not been aware of Kirby's arrest, but he assumes the county no longer employs him, which is usually the case when an instructor is charged with a crime.
Kirby is still listed in an online Kanawha County Schools employee database, which includes his annual salary of $53,735.

► An improved affinity method identified an Oct4 interactome of >160 proteins ► Iterative purification with Oct4 interactors helped define the network ► Network shows links to the basal transcription machinery and signaling pathways ► Transcription factor interactions may facilitate recruitment to the genome
Transcription factors, such as Oct4, are critical for establishing and maintaining pluripotent cell identity. Whereas the genomic locations of several pluripotency transcription factors have been reported, the spectrum of their interaction partners is underexplored. Here, we use an improved affinity protocol to purify Oct4-interacting proteins from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Subsequent purification of Oct4 partners Sall4, Tcfcp2l1, Dax1, and Esrrb resulted in an Oct4 interactome of 166 proteins, including transcription factors and chromatin-modifying complexes with documented roles in self-renewal, but also many factors not previously associated with the ESC network. We find that Esrrb associated with the basal transcription machinery and also detect interactions between transcription factors and components of the TGF-β, Notch, and Wnt signaling pathways. Acute depletion of Oct4 reduced binding of Tcfcp2l1, Dax1, and Esrrb to several target genes. In conclusion, our purification protocol allowed us to bring greater definition to the circuitry controlling pluripotent cell identity.
