As tech giant Microsoft is planning to switch its over 100 million users of Windows Live Messenger users to the voice-over-IP company Skype in mid-March. Windows Live Messenger service will be shut down on March 15.
A consortium of privacy and advocacy groups such as Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) along with individual academics, internet activists and entrepreneurs signed their names to an open letter to Microsoft ( Skype division president Tony Bates, Microsoft chief privacy officer Brendon Lynch and Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith) regarding web telephony service provider Skype transparency.
The letter — published today — called Microsoft out on the "persistently unclear and confusing statements about the confidentiality of Skype conversations," and in particular, the "the access that governments and other third parties have to Skype user data and communications."
You can find more detail here.
One of the concerns for users relates to TOM-Skype, a co-branded Chinese version of the voice-over-IP service – available only in China. Because of the co-branding, it looks, feels and behaves almost exactly like the U.S. version of Skype.
Skype—TOM, the China-only version that is offered by its joint-venture partner TOM contains a chat filter "in accordance with local law," skype says.
Skype—TOM applies a text filter and automatically blocks messages deemed "unsuitable for delivery" it raises concern that users may not realize they are communicating through Chinese servers and protocols.
The group concludes the letter that for those who use Skype in particularly hostile areas of the world, "this data is vital to help us help Skype's most vulnerable users, who rely on your software for the privacy of their communications and, in some cases, their lives."

Findings at Erie-region jobs agency could mean repayments
The turmoil at the Regional Center for Workforce Excellence will include a cost to six counties in northwestern Pennsylvania.
The amount remains uncertain.
State law requires the member counties of the Northwest Pennsylvania Workforce Investment Board to repay the state for any misspent money, including funds that the RCWE handled on behalf of the WIB.
The top elected officials of the WIB's six member counties said the state Department of Labor & Industry has told them the state will ask for repayment, but that the department has not yet set an amount.
The department's request, the officials said, would be based partly on the audit of the RCWE that the governor's Office of the Budget released a week ago.
Each of the six counties would have to help repay the money, with Erie County responsible for the largest amount -- about 53 percent -- based on the size of the job-training funding Erie County gets.
The other five counties get a total of about 47 percent of the funding, and would divide any repayment based on that percentage, officials said.
The other counties are Clarion, Crawford, Forest, Venango and Warren.
Erie County Executive Barry Grossman said he is prepared to fight any repayment request.

Hi thanks for looking in.
I am using The theme PATH 0.2 with WP 3.5.1 I have no control over my video sizes that I embed. Although I manually put the size in, the theme disregards the "size" then centers and expands it to fit the width of the layout. Anyone know why? And how to adjust?
Thanks for any help on this..

I recently modified the default Kubrick theme into a photo blog and have been working to minimize load times and appearance. I regulated it to 1 post per page and tried to size the images in the content as small as possible. However, none of this seems to matter as all of the content images load before the theme images. So basically if the visitor hasn't already had the images cached, they're looking at a full 10sec of load time before the theme images pop up. I'm trying to get the theme images to load before any content.
I have searched for a load order with limited luck. It was suggested that I specify with javascript on the referring page as to the load order, but I thought maybe it might be in the css somewhere. I should also mention that I'm not that css proficient so I might have overlooked something simple.

Rabbit-Proof Fence: how the film lied
Andrew Bolt
–, Saturday, November, 16, 2002, (5:47pm)
Rabbit-proof myths
By: Andrew Bolt
Phillip Noyce claims his new film, Rabbit-Proof Fence, is a true story.
The Hollywood director's publicity blurb repeats the boast: ``A true story.''
Even the first spoken words in the hyped film, which opens next week, are: ``This is a true story.''
Wrong. Crucial parts of this ``true story'' about a ``stolen generations'' child called Molly Craig are false or misleading. And shamefully so.
No wonder that when Craig saw Rabbit-Proof Fence at a special screening in her bush settlement last month, she seem surprised.
``That's not my story,'' she said as the credits rolled.
No, it isn't. Instead, it is Craig's story told in a way that would help ``prove'' the ``stolen generations'' are no myth—that thousands of Aboriginal children were indeed torn from the arms of loving parents by racist police.
In saying this, I mean no disrespect to Craig.
She has had a film (supported by $5.3 million of taxpayers' money) made of an episode of her life in which she showed extraordinary courage, endurance and willpower—but it's a film which can't be trusted to tell the whole truth. Who could value its praise?
It was 1931 and Molly Craig was just 14, when she and two of her younger cousins—Daisy, 8, and Gracie, 11—were taken from an Aboriginal camp at Jigalong, in Western Australia's north, and sent to the Moore River Native Settlement, 2000km south.
There these girls were to live with other ``half-castes'' and to go to school, learning skills to help them to adapt to non-Aboriginal society.
But the girls fled after one night, and in an amazing nine-week epic walked home to Jigalong—all but Gracie, that is, who was found by police at Wiluna.
Craig's feat made the papers but was not written up in full until 1996, when her daughter, Doris Pilkington, who was herself raised at Moore River, wrote the book on which Noyce has based his film.
BUT Noyce and his scriptwriter didn't stick to the facts Pilkington uncovered. Instead, the story was rewritten and now supports a monstrous falsehood—that we have a genocidal past that is, as Noyce's publicity material declares, ``more cruel than could ever be imagined''.
Let me show you how they did it—how they told untruths or only half the truth in their ``true story''.
THE FILM opens at Jigalong in 1931, and shows a neat bush camp. Molly Craig is happy and healthy. Her mother is well-groomed. All is well.
THE FACT is many of these bush camps were squalid.
When Doris Pilkington first returned to Jigalong 30 years later, it was still appalling.
``No one prepared me for the conditions that people lived under,'' she told ABC radio in 1999.
``It was shocking. I hadn't seen so many dogs in my life. It was just tin humpies and people just slept anywhere.''
THE FILM shows Molly playing with other children at Jigalong. Everyone is smiling and seems happy.
THE FACT is Molly was the first ``half-caste'' of her tribe, and the full-bloods treated her with scorn.
Pilkington says her mother often had to play alone because full-blood children told her she was neither Aboriginal nor white, and was ``like a mongrel dog''. She had no father to protect her.
THE FILM suggests Molly and her cousins were removed from Jigalong only because the state's Chief Protector of Aborigines, A.O. Neville, was a genocidal racist who wanted to ``breed out the Aborigine''.
It shows Neville outlining his plan to take half-caste children from their families and stop them breeding with full-bloods. We then see him ordering that Molly and her cousins be removed because the youngest girl is ``promised to a full-blood''.
THE FACT is the girls were taken after Neville learned they were in danger.
In 1930, he had received a letter from the superintendent of Jigalong complaining that Molly and Gracie ``were not getting a fair chance as the blacks consider the H/Cs (half castes) inferior to them''. He asked that they be removed.
Others were also worried, given how vulnerable half-caste girls then were to sexual exploitation, particularly by whites.
In December, 1930, a Mrs Chellow from Murra Munda station wrote to Neville about the girls, warning: ``I think you should see about them, as they are running wild with the whites.''
This fits with what Neville told the 1936 Moseley Royal Commission into the treatment of Aborigines: ``The children who have been removed as wards of the Chief Protector have been removed because I desired to be satisfied that the conditions surrounding their upbringing were satisfactory, which they certainly were not . . .''
Even today we rescue Aboriginal children from abuse and neglect—and in tragically high numbers.
THE FILM shows a policeman chasing the girls in his car and ripping them from Molly's screaming mother.
According to Noyce, this scene ``tells the whole story'' of his film.
THE FACT, writes Pilkington, is that the officer rode up on horseback to tell Molly's stepfather he'd take the girls, and ``the old man nodded''. The officer put Molly and Gracie on a horse, gave them the reins and asked them to follow him.
The next day he picked up Daisy and two sick women at another camp. There was no chase, no struggle.
THE FILM then shows the girls on a train, locked in an iron-barred box for dogs. They travel the last leg to Moore River tossed in the open tray of a truck.
THE FACT is the girls were not locked in any box, and travelled most of the way south by ship, which Pilkington said they felt was as a ``most pleasant experience''. They saw porpoises, chatted to the crew and walked the decks before going to bed in a cabin.
They rode the last bit not in a truck, but in a car driven by a matron who stopped for sandwiches and lemonade.
THE FILM shows the girls arriving at Moore River, where they wear prison-style sacks and are woken in the morning by a guard who screams and belts the walls of their room with a club.
THE FACT is photos of children at Moore River show them dressed in European clothes. Pilkington writes that when her mother ran away, she was dressed in ``two dresses, two pairs of calico bloomers and a coat''.
She also says the girls were woken individually and welcomed by one of the female staff.
THE FILM shows children at Moore River singing Way Down Upon the Swanee River for visitors. This shows they're so robbed of their black culture that they sing fake Negro songs instead.
THE FACT is Molly saw no such concert. And Susan Maushart's book Sort of a Place Like Home: Remembering the Moore River Native Settlement says this: ``Journalists investigating conditions at Moore River were invariably impressed by the colourful experience of a staged corroboree.''
THE FILM shows babies left to cry in a room of cots. They, too, seem ``stolen''.
THE FACT is most Moore River children—1003 of the 1067 who went there between 1933 and 1936, according to the Moseley commission—were not ``stolen'' but sent there by their parents to get a schooling or to be safe.
Many had parents living in the camp next door.
SUCH distortions of the truth, and for what? There are enough cruelties in our past we must confront—the theft of black lands, the half-caste children abandoned by white fathers, and the years of neglect of a people whose culture and communities are now shattered.
There is so much to make good—which is why the lies of the ``stolen generations'' activists are unforgivable.
The Aboriginal leaders who falsely claim they were ``stolen'', the writers who exaggerate the number of children removed, the silly compensation cases that collapse and the slick claims of genocide all risk making every claim of black suffering seem a cynical try-on.
The truth of our past is hard enough to face. Untruths and exaggerations now will only divide us.
Your film shames not us, Phillip Noyce, but you.

Business overview
We are a leading provider of integrated information technology solutions and managed business services to ambulatory healthcare providers throughout the United States. At the core of our suite of solutions and services is PrimeSUITE, our award-winning, fully-integrated EHR, PM and interoperability solution. PrimeSUITE integrates clinical, financial and administrative data in a single database to enable comprehensive views of patient records and efficient workflow throughout each patient encounter, reduce clinical and administrative errors, and allow for the seamless exchange of data between our customers and the broader healthcare community. We augment our solutions by offering managed business services such as clinically-driven revenue cycle and EHR-enabled research services. By integrating clinical, financial and administrative data processes, our solutions and services allow providers to deliver advanced care and improve their efficiency and profitability.
Our technology solutions and services are designed to address the needs of providers in all ambulatory settings: independent physician practices, group practices, hospital-affiliated and hospital-owned clinics and practices, retail clinics, employer clinics, university and academic centers, federally-qualified health centers ("FQHCs"), community health centers ("CHCs"), accountable care communities ("ACCs") and accountable care organizations ("ACOs"), and integrated delivery networks ("IDNs"). Our single database technology platform, which reflects over 13 years of development, is scalable to serve the needs of ambulatory providers of any size. As providers' needs evolve, our platform allows for the efficient development and integration of new solutions, which we refer to as our innovation platform. Our solutions are available on either a cloud-based or premise-based model.
The ambulatory EHR market has historically been underpenetrated and installed systems have been underutilized. Adoption of these technologies has been low for several reasons, including providers' resistance to making the required investment as well as concerns that electronic records would disrupt clinical and administrative workflows. Adoption of EHR solutions is accelerating as more providers realize the possible return on investment from adoption of solutions such as PrimeSUITE. Government initiatives and legislation have provided financial incentives and implementation support for ambulatory providers to adopt EHR solutions.
In order for us to continue to deliver on this commitment to our providers we are committed to investing in our innovation platform and managed business services to address the trends and challenges we believe will affect our providers now and in the future. We will invest in the development of new products and enhancements to existing products that we believe present opportunities for substantial efficiencies to ourselves and our providers' businesses. In responding to the acceleration of EHR adoption, government regulations such as the HITECH Act and ARRA, and other market trends such as increasing consumerism, the shift to quality-based reimbursement and the focus on improving the coordination of care among providers, we also face the following opportunities, challenges and risks, which could impact our business:
? Maintaining Adequate Capacity to Satisfy Potential Increased Demand. We have taken steps to position ourselves to take advantage of expected increased demand by increasing our direct sales force, enhancing our relationships with strategic alliance partners with established sales forces and increasing our systems installation capacity by utilizing third-party training and implementation specialists certified in PrimeSUITE deployment. While we believe these steps are sufficient to satisfy expected demand, additional investments and steps may be required.
? Ensuring Continued Certification of Our Solutions. In order to qualify for government incentives for EHR adoption, our solutions must continue to meet various and changing requirements for product certification and must enable our providers to achieve "meaningful use" as defined by existing and new regulations. We will continue to invest significant resources to ensure compliance of our solutions and to train and consult with our providers to enable them to navigate "meaningful use" regulations. Our ability to achieve certification under applicable standards from time to time and the length and cost of related solutions development and enhancement could materially impact our ability to take advantage of increased demand and require larger research and development investments than anticipated.
? Ensuring Our Ability to Address Emerging Demand Trends. Trends toward community-based purchasing decisions where individuals, hospitals, health systems and IDNs subsidize the purchase of EHR solutions for their affiliated physicians in order to expand connectivity within their provider community, and government-funded providers and initiatives, such as RECs, to encourage and support the implementation of EHR, could result in longer sales cycles and installation periods. This may also increase the need for additional training and implementation specialists because of the size and complexity of those sales. As a result, while we expect these trends to result in increased demand for our solutions and managed business services, they may require additional investment by us and may have unintended or unexpected consequences that could impact our business.
? Demand by Smaller Providers Could Accelerate Transition to Subscription Pricing Model. The adoption of EHR by the large untapped market of smaller provider customers and their greater need to minimize capital outlays could accelerate adoption of subscription-based arrangements as opposed to perpetual licensing arrangements. While additional subscription arrangements will result in increased recurring revenue over a longer period of time than we have achieved historically, near-term revenue would be reduced as a result while costs associated with these sales would still be expensed currently.
? Uncertain Impact of Recent Legislation. Recently enacted public laws reforming the U.S. healthcare system may impact our business. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA") and The Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the "Reconciliation Act"), which amends the PPACA (collectively the "Health Reform Laws"), were signed into law in March 2010. The Health Reform Laws contain various provisions that may impact the Company and our customers. Some of these provisions may have a positive impact, by expanding the use of electronic health records in certain federal programs, for example, while others, such as reductions in reimbursement for certain types of providers, may have a negative impact due to fewer available resources. Increases in fraud and abuse penalties may also adversely affect participants in the health care sector, including the Company.
Sources of Revenue and Expenses
We derive our revenue primarily from sales of our PrimeSUITE platform of proprietary solutions, related hardware and professional services to providers in ambulatory settings. Currently, a sizable percentage of our solution sales are made as perpetual licenses to our customers; however, our software is currently available in a cloud-based or a premise-based model.
We classify our revenue as: (1) Systems Sales, (2) Training and Consulting Services, (3) Support Services, and (4) Electronic Data Interchange and Business Services. Systems Sales are products comprised of software licenses, primarily PrimeSUITE, and related hardware and third-party software. Training and Consulting Services include implementation, training and consulting associated with Systems Sales. Support Services includes solutions we offer on a per user or transaction basis, such as PrimeSUITE and PrimeEXCHANGE services for connectivity to third-parties and third-party database charges. Electronic Data Interchange and Business Services include third-party charges for patient claims, statements and eligibility, and clinically-driven RCM and EHR-enabled research services.
As our installed customer base continues to grow, we anticipate that Support Services and Electronic Data Interchange and Business Services, which are recurring in nature, will expand as a percentage of our total revenue. Historically, we have experienced moderate seasonality to our annual revenue with the smallest percentage of sales typically occurring in our first fiscal quarter due primarily to provider purchasing patterns. See "Results of Operations" for more information.
Cost of Revenue.
Cost of revenue for Systems Sales consists primarily of third-party hardware and software costs and amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology. Cost of revenue for Training and Consulting Services consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefits of our billable professionals and fees to third-party specialists for deployment, implementation and training, and travel costs. Cost of revenue for Support Services consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefits of support specialists, and fees to third-parties for database services and services from our managed services partners. Cost of revenue for Electronic Data Interchange consists primarily of fees to third-parties for processing claims, statements and eligibility requests; cost of revenue for Business Services consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefits of personnel who deliver our revenue cycle management services and various third-party costs associated with our EHR-enabled clinical research services. As higher-margin recurring revenue increases as a percentage of total revenue, we believe overall gross margin will also increase over time.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses
Sales, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefits, commissions, travel, professional fees, advertising and other administrative and general expenses, including depreciation and amortization of equipment and leasehold improvements, for the Company's sales and marketing functions; executive offices, administration, human resources, corporate information technology support, legal, finance and accounting, and other corporate services. We intend to invest in our infrastructure as appropriate to expand our market share and accommodate our growing customer base. We expect to incur additional expenses associated with being a public company, including increased legal and accounting costs, investor relations costs and compliance costs under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the requirements of our listing exchange. As a result, we expect SG&A expenses to increase as we grow, but remain relatively constant as a percentage of revenue and ultimately decline as we achieve leverage from our infrastructure investments.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefits, third-party contractor costs and other facility and administrative costs, including depreciation of equipment directly related to development of new products and upgrading and enhancing existing products. In accordance with GAAP, research and development costs related to new application development and enhancements to existing products are expensed until technological feasibility is established. Once technological feasibility is established such costs are capitalized until the product or enhancement is ready for market, at which point capitalization ceases. We capitalize research and development costs under these criteria including the compensation-related costs of personnel and related third-party contractors working directly on specific projects. We intend to invest in our innovation platform to maintain cutting-edge technology for the benefit of our customers as well as to meet evolving requirements of the market, including certifications and standards.
Provision for Income Taxes
In preparing our financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Results of Operations The following table sets forth revenue and cost of revenue by category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the comparable periods of the prior year: Three Months Ended September 30, Change 2012 2011 Increase (Decrease) Amount (000's) Percentage Amount (000's) Percentage Amount (000's) Percentage Revenue: System sales $ 9,035 28 % $ 6,648 26 % $ 2,387 36 % Training and consulting services 6,863 21 % 6,603 26 % 260 4 % Support services 10,292 31 % 7,056 27 % 3,236 46 % Electronic data interchange and business services 6,584 20 % 5,343 21 % 1,241 23 % Total revenue 32,774 100 % 25,650 100 % 7,124 28 % Cost of revenue: System sales 3,007 33 % 1,847 28 % 1,160 63 % Training and consulting services 4,602 67 % 4,431 67 % 171 4 % Support services 3,125 30 % 2,257 32 % 868 38 % Electronic data interchange and business services 4,194 64 % 3,821 72 % 373 10 % Total cost of revenue 14,928 46 % 12,356 48 % 2,572 21 %
Revenue. Total revenue was $32.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $25.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $7.1 million or 28%. Systems sales grew by 36% and accounted for $2.4 million or 34% of total revenue growth during the period. Training and consulting services grew by 4% and accounted for $260,000 or 4% of total revenue growth during the period. Support services and electronic data interchange and business services grew 46% and 23%, respectively, during the period, accounting for the remaining 62% of growth in total revenue.
Systems sales, including training and consulting services, are one-time in nature and the substantial growth is attributable to our increased share in a growing market and is reflective of an increase in both the number and size of transactions completed in the current quarter and the year to date. The current quarter compared with the preceding quarter reflects the impact of some seasonality regarding purchasing patterns of customers that is typically experienced in our first fiscal quarter. Support services, electronic data interchange and business services are recurring and growth in this revenue is largely attributable to our growing customer base. Our ability to sell additional products and services to our existing customer base also benefitted revenue growth in the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same period of the prior year.
Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue was $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $2.6 million or 21%. Cost of systems sales increased by 63% and accounted for $1.2 million or 45% of the total increase in cost of revenue during the period. Cost of training and consulting services increased by 4% and accounted for $171,000 or 7% of the total increase in cost of revenue during the period. Cost of support services and electronic data interchange and business services increased 38% and 10%, respectively, during the period, accounting for the remaining 48% of the increase in total cost of revenue. On an overall basis, gross profit margins were 54% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to 52% for the same period of the prior year. This improvement in the quarter is a combination of factors; margins improved due to sales mix with higher-margin systems sales and support services revenue contributing almost 79% of the total increase in revenue for the period. Benefits were also attained by the improved margin profiles of support services and electronic data interchange and business services. Improved support services margins are attributable to customers' adoption of higher-margin innovations and to improvements in margin profiles of various services that involve third parties. These beneficial effects were partly offset by $1.2 million in increased amortization of software development costs and recently-acquired technology.
Sales, General and Administrative. Total SG&A expenses were $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $2.6 million or 25%. Growth in SG&A is largely a result of the required infrastructure to support the overall growth in the business. We have increased headcount and related costs and other investments in sales, marketing and advertising which we believe positions us to capture increased market share in what we believe will be an expanding market over the next several years. Additionally, implementation of our long-term equity incentive plan increased stock-based compensation $629,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the year-ago period. Further, growth in our headcount and professional services related to implementation of a new suite of business tools has increased SG&A costs for subscription to these services. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 41% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 42% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. As indicated by this comparison, we believe that investments in our growth and related infrastructure can be leveraged to maintain our sales growth in future years without a proportionate increase in cost.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $1.6 million or 51%. The increases are largely related to compensation, benefits and related costs for additional headcount and to increased professional fees for projects outsourced to third parties, offset in part by a reduction in stock-based compensation costs. Our innovation platform requires continuing investment in research and development, which evolves to meet the needs of our customers, our market and industry regulators. In addition to research and development to support our innovation platform, we develop new products and enhance functionality of existing products. These application development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility is attained and capitalization ceases once the technology is available for market. Capitalized software development costs were approximately $2.9 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software development costs totaled approximately $1.0 million and $63,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Interest and Other Expenses. Interest income, net of interest expense, was approximately $289,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to net interest expense of $(9,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The change in net interest is related principally to funds available to invest, which increased substantially in February 2012 when net proceeds of our IPO were received. Investment yields owing to market conditions have been flat to declining from 2011.
Other income (expense) net, principally bank fees, was approximately $(24,000) and $(38,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Income Taxes. The Company has available net operating losses and credits for research and development to offset taxable income and tax expense. These and other temporary differences result in net deferred tax assets. The tax provision for the current quarter and the tax benefit for the 2011 quarter are effective tax rates of 47% and 32%, respectively, which reflect expensing payments made to various state jurisdictions for prior periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal capital requirements are to fund operations. We have typically funded our capital needs from operating cash flow augmented by proceeds from the exercise of warrants in connection with the 2009 completion of a tender offer made by our institutional investors and the recently completed initial public offering of our common stock. We also repaid all outstanding indebtedness and, in March 2011, entered into a new loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. This facility provides financing up to $5.0 million (based on eligible receivables) with interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis points, is secured by a pledge of the Company's assets and contains customary provisions regarding covenants. The financial covenants require us to maintain a leverage ratio not exceeding 2:1 and an EBITDA to interest expense ratio of at least 3:1. At September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants and there were no amounts outstanding on the credit facility.
We are not a capital-intensive business. Our capital expenditures heretofore have comprised technology, fixtures and equipment to accommodate our growth and we acquired and renovated a building placed into service in 2011. Additionally, we capitalize the application development costs for new technology and enhancements to our innovation platform. Funding for all of these expenditures came from existing resources. We are completing construction of new facilities to accommodate the growth of our business. We estimate this facility will cost approximately $12.0 million and will be completed by the end of fiscal 2013. We believe that our current cash, short-term investments and funds available under our credit facility or, if required, other financing combined with our anticipated cash flow from operations and the proceeds of our recently-completed initial public offering will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next 12 months and for a reasonable period thereafter.
Cash Flow Summary
Cash and cash equivalents were $5.0 million at September 30, 2012, as compared with $5.6 million at June 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, and June 30, 2012, we also had $29.7 and $29.4 million, respectively, in short-term investments classified as available for sale.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, comprised primarily of net stock compensation expense of $1.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.8 million and provision for bad debts of $345,000 combined with net income of $8,000. Net changes in working capital required $873,000 cash from operations, attributable principally to a $4.2 million decrease in accounts receivable offset by a $3.9 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a $542,000 decrease in deferred revenue, and increases in inventory, prepaids and other assets of $639,000.
Cash provided by operating activities was $811,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, comprised primarily of $406,000 net loss and a $227,000 deferred tax benefit offset by $1.1 million net stock compensation expense, $460,000 depreciation and amortization and $256,000 provision for bad debts. Net changes in working capital required $327,000 from cash provided by operating activities including $1.1 million from increased inventory, prepaids and other assets, $593,000 million decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by $1.0 million in decreased accounts receivables and $369,000 in decreased deferred revenue.
Investing Activities
As of September 30, 2012, we had net short-term investments of $29.7 million. Our policy is to invest only in fixed income instruments denominated and payable . . .

Before Jumping on the HGH Bandwagon
While people today don't believe in miraculous waters, many, it seems, believe in magical HGH solutions.
Instead of drinking rejuvenating waters, they now inject human growth hormone to slow the tick of the clock.
The "anti-aging" movement can be motivational to some people while others are motivated by the examples of men and women performing wonders after claiming to take HGH.
Almost like Popeye's transformation after taking spinach.
But is that how growth hormone works?
The simple answer is: NO!
While HGH comes with many biological effects, it's certainly not the miracle many HGH products claim it to be.
Unfortunately, there are numerous HGH manufacturers and sellers making false claims about HGH products. And buyers, in their desperation, fall for these unethical claims.
It doesn't matter if you lose money in the process, but chances are you lose your health.
Allow me to lead you in the right direction!
Human Growth Hormone is a gift that our body is endowed with. If aging is a treatable medical condition, it is this wonderful hormone that acts as the doctor.
The problem is, as we grow older our body does not produce enough of this life-changing growth hormone to keep us looking and feeling youthful and healthy.
That's when the symptoms start showing. That's the beginning of our fight with aging.
So is HGH the miracle cure?
People who are constantly in search of the cure for old age, feel so good when they read about HGH, that they start looking at it as a miracle cure.
It is his desperation that unethical elements in the HGH world are taking advantage of.
The second set of people are those that don't trust anything without understanding. You are on the right track.
Before venturing on your journey to renewed health and vigor, it is important to learn more about Human Growth Hormone and understand how it works.
I would caution you against falling for all the HGH "hype." Remember, they are only in this game to make money from your desperation, not to help you!
"Health is Wealth!" We have all heard this through our growing up years.
You are smart and intelligent. You can make an informed decision. Exercise your right to safeguard your body and your life.
What Does Anti-Aging mean to you?
First things first! What does anti-aging mean to you? Why do you wish to use HGH?
Allow me to bust the myth surrounding anti-aging and HGH.
The purpose of HGH is not to extend life, in order to live a longer period of time. HGH helps delay the onset of the aging process and gives people a greater number of healthy years where you look and feel young.
Who wouldn't want to be fit and vital at 50, 60 or even 70, as he or she was at 30 or 40?
"Every man desires to live long," wrote Jonathan Swift, "but no man would be old."
He was right, but it has been proved that the fountain of youth is just an illusion.
What works is a combination of Human growth hormone, a well-balanced diet, and a good exercise program. This can add years to your life.
You can restore the lost youthfulness. You can get back the life you left behind.
But to make an "INFORMED" decision, you need to learn more about HGH .…
Human growth hormone: Up close and personal
We may have to get a little scientific here, but trust me, it helps.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a small protein that is secreted by the pituitary gland, which is the master gland situated at the base of our brain. The HGH is released into the bloodstream.
The pituitary keeps releasing the HGH in bursts; increased levels of this hormone are secreted following exercise, trauma and during sleep. That's why they say 8 hours of sleep is important.
Scientists have found that the HGH hormone production in our body is highest during childhood, peaks during puberty and declines from middle age onward.
HGH has an impact on several tissues throughout the body.
- In children and adolescents, HGH is responsible for the growth of bone and cartilage.
- In people of all ages, it boosts protein production, helps fat utilization, helps with the action of insulin and keeps the blood sugar levels stable.
HGH is also responsible for building muscle mass, stimulating the liver, menstruation in women, high libido levels as well as repairing and regulating all the bodily functions.
In short, Human Growth Hormone is responsible for the good health that we enjoyed during our childhood and adolescence.
The most important thing HGH does is to maintain the ratio of fat to muscle in our body. That's why there is this tendency in people to gain weight as they grow older, even if they don't eat much.
There is much lower levels of HGH after 30.
HGH production is at its peak during the teenage years when growth spurts occur, and it is at a decent level in the early 20s.
In our 30s, the decline starts becoming noticeable. Into our 40s, it diminishes greatly.
It's not just our bodily functions that are affected; our mental attributes get affected too.
While this decline is inevitable, if you've seen some older people who are perkier than their counterparts, it has a lot to do with the lifestyles they have led.
Diet and exercise form an important part of our lives. People who are in the habit of consuming a balanced diet with a balanced exercise regimen that includes strength training, enjoy better HGH levels for a longer time, thus living a better life with enhanced vigor and enjoyment.
So, like you have heard many say, good diet and exercise – slows the tick of the clock.
Hormone production is highly interactive.
When there is a drop in production of any one hormone, signals are sent to all other organs to release lower levels of hormones. This leads to a complete hormonal imbalance in the body.
Here is what happens as the HGH levels in your body decline:
- Slower metabolism
- Sink wrinkling and age spots
- Hair loss
- Diabetes
- Imbalance in good and bad cholesterol levels
- Reduced stamina and enthusiasm
- Decrease in lean body mass and increase in fat mass
- Decreased sexual drive and performance
- Decreased mood, memory and sleep
- Mental disorders like depression and dementia
- Decreased immunity and reduced resistance to diseases
- Increased risk for cardiovascular diseases
- Reduction in bone density leading to osteoporosis and other bone problems
- Increased risk for cancers
If you think the list ends here, you're mistaken. Just look around you and see what people are going through, and you will now understand why it's happening.
Die, my dear doctor? That is the last thing I shall do. ~ Lord Palmerston.
The fact that you're here, reading this report, tells me, you're not ready to give up on yourself. You're a winner, willing to take control of your life.
So what happens when we use HGH
Everything changes. Nearly 20,000 clinical studies around the world document the wonderful benefits of Human Growth Hormone.
Researchers around the world have found astonishing results that opened several doors to keep us young and healthy.
No matter what your age, whether you're in your 30s or 70s or more, you can use HGH to bring back those golden years.
Are we replacing the natural HGH with synthetic HGH?
No, we are not! This is a very important question that needs to be answered.
You would have read how prescription GH is not advisable for the general public. Doctors prescribe Growth Hormone in children suffering from GH deficiency and for those that are abnormally short-statured.
Doctors prescribe Growth Hormone in children suffering from GH deficiency and for those that are abnormally short-statured.
Growth Hormone is also approved for treating adultGH deficiency, which is a serious and rare medical condition. Such people benefit from HGH injections which control or help their medical conditions to a certain extent.
Unfortunately, about 30% of patients with such medical conditions pay a price for using HGH Injections. They experience severe side effects.
They experience severe side effects.
That's the reason Human Growth Hormone Replacement is discouraged and not recommended.
How are we going to derive the benefits of HGH without replacement?
We only advice HGH products that stimulate and rejuvenate the pituitary gland.\
Please make note of this. This is very important.
HGH levels in the body decline when the pituitary gland starts secreting less HGH hormone with age.
While researchers don't yet know what causes the decline in HGH as we age, they have found that the aging pituitary gland can release as much HGH as it did during childhood, if it is adequately stimulated.
This means the decline of HGH secretion with age is reversible.
What Happens when the Pituitary Gland is Re-activated?
When the pituitary gland becomes active again and secretion of HGH increases, the body undergoes a transformation and the physical, psychological and emotional well-being is restored.
You will experience the following:
- General sense of well being
- Increased energy and vitality
- Increased capacity for work
- Emotional stability
- Reduction in weight
- Increased muscle mass
- Increase in bone density
- And many more…
One of the first changes you will experience is on the largest organ – your skin:
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- No sagging and tightness of the skin
- Improvement in dry, rough and thinning skin
- Skin discoloration improves
- Reduction in Acne/pores
You will start looking and feeling younger by several years.
With that all important question taken care of, let's proceed to the various methods of HGH replenishment.
The different methods of HGH replenishment
There are numerous varieties of HGH products on the market. The most popular are:
- HGH Injections
- HGH Oral Sprays
- HGH Releasers/Supplements
How do the various HGH products work?
HGH Injections: Any injected medicine goes directly into the bloodstream. That's why injections are used when instant results are needed, like in emergencies. HGH injections became popular when celebrities and athletes started using them. They use them because they want quick results, in terms of weight loss, muscle gain or high levels of instant energy. HGH injections are given either intramuscularly or subcutaneously, and can be prohibitively expensive. You will end up paying around $2000 or more each month. Injections are also only available as prescriptions, which means you can't buy them over-the-counter. Even if you manage to get them, being purely synthetic, they don't enjoy insurance coverage. Although HGH injections are popular, the medical industry and researchers consider them risky for regular use, as they can lead to disastrous consequences such as organ failure and cardiac arrest. We suggest not going anywhere near HGH injections, as they're not worth the risk.
HGH Oral Sprays: HGH oral sprays are everywhere and they all claim immediate results. Such claims don't stand up to scrutiny, as studies have shown that HGH molecules cannot penetrate the oral, nasal, intestinal or stomach membranes. Brands behind HGH oral sprays counter this saying the sprays contain a polymer that can pass through the membranes, but results of extensive testing proved that the polymer DOES NOT penetrate. In the absence of scientific proof, I would never suggest HGH sprays as an option.
Natural HGH Releasers or Supplements: HGH releasers are actually the pills in tablet form that are taken like vitamins. Since the pituitary gland is most active and does its job well when we sleep, it is suggested that these pills be taken before going to bed. You have also noticed that most HGH supplements in the market powerfully claim to be 100% natural made with pure herbs. But reality is different from what is being claimed. Still, there are some genuine supplements available in the market that contains completely natural herbs without having synthetic ingredients. The herbs used are somehow effective in stimulating the production of HGH in the body. In addition, the supplements are easy to consume rather that Injection HGH or their oral sprays.
Don't go by the labels on HGH products that say "100% Natural." We have tested hundreds of HGH supplements, and we can confidently say that a majority of them contain synthetic ingredients that are bad for you.
We have tested hundreds of HGH supplements, and we can confidently say that a majority of them contain synthetic ingredients that are bad for you.
Very few HGH supplements use only "Natural" ingredients, and these products use the natural ingredients that interact with each other efficiently to bring about a change in the pituitary gland. These herbal formulas have the power to help the pituitary gland
These herbal formulas have the power to help the pituitary gland into working more efficiently and increasing the production of Human Growth Hormone in the body.
They are safe to use with zero side effects, and we consider them the best.
Extensive research on Human Growth Hormone Supplements
Natural HGH supplements are safer than all other options, but finding a genuine product is almost like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I did an extensive study on the research from educational and medical institutions. Apart from that, I conducted a multi-stage research study along with my team, in our own company laboratory.
We went through the entire process, first discarding synthetic HGH supplements, and then weeding out the Natural herbal supplements that are not effective.
The results of our research
Our research in the field of HGH supplements was a revelation. At first glance, you have several HGH products out there.
But once we spent time dissecting them, one by one, ingredient by ingredient, there remained very few HGH supplements.
Don't be disappointed that we bring only 3 HGH supplements. Be happy that we have at least a few that work.
For some reason, this restores our faith that there still exist ethical manufacturers.
These 3 HGH products are effective and do not cause any unwanted side effects. So you're in safe hands with us and with them.

There is some truth in the saying – "A product is only as good as its creator."

GenFX takes a little longer to show results.

Use GenF20 Plus or GenFX without any hesitation

With both the HGH products, you will experience great results and experience the transformation your body undergoes.
You can visit www.GenF20Plus.com and www.GenFX.com before making a decision.
Very Imp: I caution my readers time and again to use only one HGH supplement at a time. Never use two supplements at the same time, as this can be disastrous. If you're not happy with the supplement you're using, shift to the second, but only after discontinuing the first one.
DO NOT use any two supplements at the same time.
A word of caution: Be wary of the products that claim to offer a miracle. Do not put your health at risk by trusting shiny claims, without understanding the products. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in every four incidents of death is caused by consumption of harmful chemicals. Our research shows that a majority of HGH products online contain chemicals and other harmful substances.
A final suggestion:
Whatever supplements you use, it is important to pay attention to the time-tested combination of diet and exercise.
Aim for a moderate and healthy diet and at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, such as walking.
This will not only reduce the risk of chronic illnesses, but enhance your energy levels. Exercise also helps supplements and medicine work better.
Yes – it is in your hands – to slow the tick of time.
A bit of comfort: While aging may be inevitable, the decline in appearance and function and everything we associate with aging is not a part of our destiny. You can feel and look younger by many years, and enjoy life for a lot longer.
You can feel and look younger by many years, and enjoy life for a lot longer.

USD women bring Duke to town for tourney
SAN DIEGO —— The marquee teams in women's college basketball are Connecticut, Tennessee, Duke and Stanford. Any credible team wants the chance to measure itself against the best of their sport.
The University of San Diego may get that opportunity —— or suffer that fate —— this week. Duke, 9-0 and ranked No. 2 in the nation, is in town for two games in the USD Surf and Slam Classic tonight and Friday at Jenny Craig Pavilion.
Should the Toreros and Blue Devils both win or both lose in their first-round games tonight —— USD (3-7) meets Montana State (0-9) at 6 p.m. with Duke facing St. John's (9-1) to follow at approximately 8 p.m. —— they would meet Friday.
Michelle Augustavo, USD's 6-foot sophomore guard who scored a school-record 42 points in a four-point loss on Dec. 11 at Clemson, views Duke with equal parts excitement and awe.
"We're hoping we play them because it will be a great experience," says Augustavo, her face lighting up after practice at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.
But then she continued with a tone of gallows humor in her voice: "When we tell everybody we might play Duke, they say, 'Oh, my gosh . Duke?' "
If the Toreros face Duke, they will see more than just another good team from coach Gail Goestenkors, whose nickname —— Coach G —— is similar to the Coach K moniker for which men's coach Mike Krzyzewski is reverently known among Blue Devils faithful.
The Blue Devils average 95.6 points a game, with five players averaging double figures. Three times, they have scored 110 points.
Monique Currie, an All-America guard/forward, leads the scoring with 14.3 points a game. Currie was the runner-up for national player of the year last year and opted to bypass the WNBA to return as a fifth-year senior.
Abby Waner, a 5-10 freshman guard, is second with 12.2 points. She was the 2005 national high school player of the year by both McDonald's and Gatorade.
"To have a team like Duke playing here is great for people who enjoy women's basketball in San Diego," USD coach Cindy Fisher said. "It's a chance to see a quality program and the athletes who play for that kind of team. Duke is where every coach wants to get their program."
Augustavo said the Toreros believe their record is misleading because of a tough schedule. They lost to No. 11-ranked Arizona State 67-63; the Pac-10's Washington 77-61; and Atlantic Coast Conference teams Georgia Tech 56-51 and Clemson 72-68.
"We've had some close games, but we need a little more focus to be more consistent," Augustavo said. "We've have some slumps for five minutes when games have been decided."
Augustavo, who is averaging a team-high 11.3 points, was highly recruited out of Bothell (Wa.) Blanchet High. Fisher, an assistant at Nebraska last year and former head coach at Wyoming, said she was aware of Augustavo on the recruiting trail.
"She's got a super-quick release —— almost too quick at times," Fisher said. "We try to make sure she's square to the basket and has her feet set. But she pretty much has the green light to let it go."
In Augustavo's 42-point outburst, she hit 10-of-19 3-point field goals. But she is searching for her own consistency after missing 13 games with a stress fracture in her leg last season.
The Toreros are still adjusting to losing 6-5 sophomore center Amber Sprague, last year's leading scorer, for the year with a foot injury before the season started. But Augustavo says the Toreros think they can challenge for the West Coast Conference title in what is considered a down year for the league.
"We said that last year, too," she said, "but this year we believe it."
At least they don't expect to see anyone as tough as Duke.

The link between GDP and living standards is one that is increasingly questioned. A raft of books, from Richard Layard's "Happiness" to Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett's "The Spirit Level" and beyond, argue that there is more to life than the pursuit of economic growth. Indeed there are many other measures of welfare that have been compiled, all of which offer alternative indicators of well-being.
Listed below are two of them – both offering insights into the complex relationship between growth, living standards and sustainability.
UN Inclusive Wealth Report 2012
However, for the sake of balance: it might be worth returning to first principles. Yes, life is complex; yes, other things impinge upon welfare, but actually GDP still does a reasonable job in indicating the average level of economic welfare in a country. This point is argued forcefully in Daniel Bel-Ami's "Ferraris For All" which makes a cogent case for the continued significance of GDP whilst also accepting its drawbacks.
Equally, compelling though "The Spirit Level" might appear, "The Spirit Level Delusion" by Christopher Snowden offers a feisty rebuttal of a large number of the arguments, and highlights the issue the difference between causation and correlation. These are excellent evaulative points. Snowden goes further, arguing that monocausal explanations of social/health outcomes are highly unlikely. Both are excellent counterpoints to the current fad for deconstructing GDP and well worth a look.
It's ironic that argument appears to have gone full circle: a decade ago, the Left argued that the disconnect between GDP and economic welfare was a reason for looking for alternatives to GDP to measure welfare. Today, the Right are almost using the same argument – it is the obvious complexity of the relationship between GDP and welfare that means that GDP might still be the best, and certainly simplest, measure of economic welfare.
