BG Medicine, Inc. (NASDAQ:BGMD)
Q4 2013 Earnings Conference Call
March 20, 2014 8:30 AM ET
Paul R. Sohmer – President and CEO
Stacie Rader – SVP, Executive Operations & Human Resources
Stephen Hall – EVP and CFO
Kevin DeGeeter – Ladenburg Thalmann
Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the BG Medicine, Inc. Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. Later, we'll conduct the question-and-answer session and instructions will be given at that time. (Operator Instructions) As a reminder, this call maybe recorded.
I will now introduce your host for today's conference, Dr. Paul Sohmer, President and CEO. You may begin.
Paul R. Sohmer
Thank you. Good morning, and welcome to the BG Medicine year-end 2013 earnings conference call. I'm joined today by Stacie Rader, our Senior Vice President of Executive Operations; Steve Hall, Chief Financial Officer; Howard Rosen, Vice President of Marketing and Sales; and Aram Adourian, Chief Scientific Officer.
I will now ask Stacie Rader to read the brief statement, and then introduce Steve Hall, who will review our financial performance for the quarter. Stacie?
Stacie Rader
Good morning and thank you for joining us today. Before we begin our formal remarks, I will cover a few administrative details regarding the replay of information for today's call and forward-looking statements. Today's call will be recorded, and a replay will be available on our website. The information to access the replay is available in our press release, and also on the company website.
As a reminder, today's call contains forward-looking statements regarding events that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from these anticipated by our forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties are set forth and discussed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as updates to those risks and uncertainties that may be filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise made public.
With that, I'll now turn the call over to Steve Hall.
Stephen Hall
Thank you, Stacie. On this morning's call, I will briefly highlight our key measures of financial performance for the year-ended December 31, 2013. Top line growth is our first key measure.
Total revenue was $4.1 million for the full-year 2013, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2012. The $1.8 million increase in revenues or 45% year-over-year results principally from growth in sales from our largest specialty cardiovascular laboratory provider and from our third-party clinical research organizations. Product royalties on European sales by our partners were not significant in 2013.
Cash burn is our second key measure of financial performance. Operating cash burn continues to decrease as a result of our focused efforts to align spending with our revenue growth strategy. During 2013, these efforts translated into a 28% year-over-year decrease in operating cash burn.
Operating cash burn decreased by $6 million to $15.3 million compared to $21.3 million in 2012. Contributing in large part to the decrease in operating cash burn was the 31% decrease in operating expenses for 2013.
We ended the year with $7.75 million in cash. Concerning our bottom line, net loss for 2013 was $15.8 million, a 33% improvement from the $23.8 million net loss reported in 2012. Net loss per share at the year-end 2013 was $0.58, a 51% improvement from $1.18 in 2012.
Finally, for the full year, we expect to increase our revenues and decrease our operating cash as compared to 2013.
This concludes our financial review. I'll now turn the call back over to Paul Sohmer.
Paul R. Sohmer
Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Stacie. In 2013, we addressed the fundamentals of our business. We prioritized our actions and investments around what we believe are the key drivers of adoption of our BGM Galectin-3 Test. We refocused our commercial strategy and restructured our clinical research and discovery programs.
In so doing, we grew our revenues by 45% from the prior year, reduced our operating expenses by 31%, reduced our loss from operations by 37%, and reduced our operating cash burn by 28%. We achieved critical market development milestones, including recognition of the BGM Galectin-3 Test in the American College of Cardiology Foundation and American Heart Association Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure. A 69% increase in the Medicare national limitation amount for galectin-3 testing.
The introduction of Automated galectin-3 testing outside the U.S., completion of our critical path tasks and support of the Abbott ARCHITECT Galectin-3 assay submission to the FDA, an extension of the commercial reach of our BGM Galectin-3 Test to primary care physicians, health care provider groups, hospitals, and regional reference labs, and we welcome the publication of 13 full-length clinical research and review articles related to the utility of our BGM Galectin-3 Test, as well as numerous oral and poster presentations that were delivered at both U.S. and international meetings.
In 2014, we expect to continue to develop market demand for galectin-3 testing, explore new indications and clinical claims for our BGM Galectin-3 Test, and advance the development of products in our pipeline. Notwithstanding these commercial and development activities, we will continue to aggressively manage our spending. For the full-year 2014, we expect to increase our revenues and decrease our operating cash burn as compared to 2013.
The primary goal of our commercial strategy is to drive the worldwide adoption of our BGM Galectin-3 Test, Automated galectin-3 testing, and to set the table for our future pipeline products. We have prioritized our actions and investments around what we believe are the key drivers of adoption of the diagnostic product that incorporates a novel protein biomarker. We believe that the actions taken and investments made in support of our efforts to drive adoption of our BGM Galectin-3 Test and Automated galectin-3 testing will create a commercial conduit for our future pipeline products.
We will continue to focus our attention on what we believe are the critical catalyst for driving market acceptance of our BGM Galectin-3 Test, including demonstration of the potential clinical utilities to response an independent clinical research studies, education of nurse practitioners, primary care physicians, cardiologist and heart failure specialist, and continued expansion of the adoption of galectin-3 testing by specialty laboratories both national and regional independent reference laboratories, hospital laboratories, and clinical research organizations.
We believe that Automation of our Galectin-3 Test will broaden its acceptance by laboratory customers, and as a result accelerate its clinical adoption. To this end, we completed our clinical – critical path tasks and support of the Abbott ARCHITECT Galectin-3 assay submission to the FDA. We look forward to making similar progress with our other Automated partners in the future. We believe that the clinical and commercial value of our BGM Galectin-3 Test may extend beyond its current indications for use.
Galectin-3 has been demonstrated to predict adverse events in chronic heart failure patients, as reflected in our product labeling and in other disorders as reflected in research studies. Several groups are pursuing Galectin-3 as a target for the development of new therapeutic agents. Others have suggested that testing for Galectin-3 may be used to identify patients who may or may not respond to certain therapeutic interventions.
Earlier today, we issued a press release of adding new patents that we were issued relating to the use of galectin-3 testing to help predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy. We expect to explore new clinical claims and indications for galectin-3 testing for assessment of patients with heart failure, as well as in other disorders.
Expansion of the product label to include no clinical claims and indications for use will require additional clinical studies and clearance or approval by regulatory body such as the FDA and inclusion in our CE Mark for use in the EU. We expect to develop new patient selection tools that may incorporate new clinical indications for the BGM Galectin-3 Test, as well as other biomarkers or combinations of biomarkers that we identify from our analysis of the appropriate clinical cohorts, including the BGM Medicine sponsored BioImage Study.
We have exclusive rights to diagnostic inventions rising from our analysis of this proprietary observational and community-based cohort of over 6,800 individuals who have been followed since 2009. Baseline blood, serum, plasma, DNA and RNA samples collected from all participants have been stored and are available for our analysis.
In addition, insurance claims, including information regarding diagnosis, procedures, and therapies related to over 1,200 non-fatal cardiovascular events that were experienced by participants in the cohort over the more than four years since follow-up was initiated is available to us for data mining. We believe that this asset provides us with a unique and proprietary platform from which we may develop new diagnostic products.
In regard to CardioSCORE, a multi-analyte biomarker-based test that is designed as an aid in the assessment of near-term risk for significant atherothrombotic cardiovascular events, the previously discussed medical review and adjudication of clinical endpoints have been completed. We are currently evaluating this data as well as data relating to sample [availability] [ph] and other technical issues. This evaluation will guide our regulatory, commercial, reimbursement, and investment strategies for CardioSCORE.
As the patient population ages, the prevalence of post acute and chronic diseases such as heart failure rises. As the prevalence of these diseases raise so does the need for simple, accessible, affordable, and reliable tools to help guide decisions regarding the where, who, and how these patients are managed. We believe that for chronic heart failure patients, the BGM Galectin-3 Test may, in fact, be such a tool.
We further believe that there is a significant opportunity to apply the BGM Galectin-3 Test and other biomarkers or biomarker combinations that we develop to meet this need for chronic heart failure and other post acute and chronic diseases. Thank you.
Operator, that concludes our formal remarks. We are now ready to take your questions.
Question-and-answer session
Thank you. (Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Kevin DeGeeter of Ladenburg. Your line is open.
Kevin DeGeeter – Ladenburg Thalmann
Hey, good morning, guys. Congratulations on some of the progress. A few questions, can you provide a little bit more granularity as to expected timeline for potential FDA clearance and launch of the Automated Galectin-3 on the ARCHITECT. And a little more color as to where some of your other Automated partners are and their efforts to seek a 10-K clearance?
Paul R. Sohmer
In regard to the Abbott ARCHITECT I can simply say that the submission is under review by the FDA and it's Abbott submission and it is ongoing. Beyond that at this point I can't really give any more specific timelines into their submission. And we think it is obviously a significant milestone that this submission has been made and obviously we're delighted with that.
In regard to the others, we continue to make progress in terms of moving in the same direction. And I can't give you any specific timelines yet as when the next submission would be made. But we are actively working to bring the next one to FDA.
Kevin DeGeeter – Ladenburg Thalmann
And with regard to launch in Europe on the Automated platforms and some of your partners, are there specific items here we should look forward to change the trajectory of adoption to make meaningful contribution. Just help us better understand really kind of the commercial positioning in Europe and what is it going to take to have the market make up a meaningful contribution for BG?
Paul R. Sohmer
So here is where we are. I think that request to purchase materials for clinical research projects along with increase from European-based independent laboratory suggest that there is ongoing interest. In addition, galectin-3 testing continues to receive support from European opinion leaders, and there is growing European awareness of the potential use of galectin-3 testing, particularly in the emergency room for assessment of heart failure patients prior to hospital admission.
However, sales generated by order Automated partners have been limited to-date. And this I think relates to the fact – a couple of facts; one is, the lack of outpatient reimbursement and that to-date Galectin-3 has not been included in European care management guidelines. These present significant obstacles, we have focused our attention on bringing the products into the guidelines.
We have a considerable amount of effort devoted on that right now and are optimistic that we could see its inclusion and at least one guideline, perhaps as early as late 2015. But this is a lengthy process. We have I think gathered a considerable data, we have considerable data. We'll continue to consider, and so as an organization I think our primary focus right now is to get this into the guideline, which I think would facilitate uptake in Europe.
Kevin DeGeeter – Ladenburg Thalmann
Okay. Maybe two more quick questions from me then I'll get back in the queue. With regard to CardioSCORE what's your updated thinking with regard to the appropriate go-to-market strategy on CardioSCORE both in terms of positioning regulatory and also it's just a program that BG is interested in making additional internal investment or is there something that in the near-term there maybe an opportunity to out-license to a third-party.
Paul R. Sohmer
Yes. I think the answer to that question is that as I said in my prepared text is that now that we have completed the medical review and the adjudication, we have those data in hand. We're evaluating those data. In addition, we're evaluating issues – some of the analytical issues and sample stability issues as well as at the same time that given the output from that I think we'll have a clear sense of how we need to approach this going forward from a regulatory and commercial perspective.
I should say, there is considerable interest that has been expressed for CardioSCORE, so which really a matter of us bringing to closure our evaluation of the data, addressing some of the issues related to reimbursement as an example, and then moving from there. So we – the answer to your question is that, we're currently evaluating that. We know there is interest and we hope over the next few months to have a clear pathway of how we're moving forward with the CardioSCORE.
Kevin DeGeeter – Ladenburg Thalmann
Okay. And then just lastly really kind of the housekeeping item, I appreciate that you're not providing 2014 financial guidance. But in general strokes can you help us appreciate your comments with regard to controlling operating expenses with the observations that additional clinical trials maybe useful in expanding the clinical utility of Galectin-3 both alone and in combination potentially with other biomarkers. How do we kind of square what looks like higher R&D activity with your comments on lower operating spend?
Paul R. Sohmer
So I think Kevin, you know since I walked through the door, this has been a matter of our prioritization and really addressing each investment that we're making in terms of where we put salespeople, where we're putting our research money, and the kinds of things that we're doing to where we think will create the greatest value. And we do this on a almost by moment by moment basis.
So a lot of what we will be doing is addressing each of these potential opportunities in that context. That being said, I think we've become rather efficient in the way we approach both our development, in particular how we develop our products. We have developed a very efficient approach to data mining, so we can – we have lots of data available to us. We have cohort – patient cohort information that Aram and his team can analyze in a regular basis and it allows us to reduce risk and identify those things that maybe a higher opportunity for us.
And at the same time, I think we developed some fairly efficient ways to do testing and to support us. So, I think that, I believe that we have the opportunity to move ahead on them with these projects. We can't do everything all at once, but we will certainly prioritize those sorts of investments based on the information and feedback we have from the marketplace for those products that may create the greatest value.
Kevin DeGeeter – Ladenburg Thalmann
Fair enough. I appreciate the clarity. Thanks so much, guys.
Thank you. (Operator Instructions) I'm not showing any further questions in queue. I would like to turn the call back over to management.
Paul R. Sohmer
Great. Thank you very much. Thank you all for participating this morning, your ongoing interest and support are greatly appreciated, and we look forward to updating you on our progress.
Ladies and gentlemen thank you for participating in today's conference. This concludes today's program. You may all disconnect. Everyone have a great day.

Southern Banana Pudding
Back in the day before I thought about food 24/7 and I was relatively new to the kitchen, I made this dessert to take somewhere. Only I made it with boxed pudding and Cool Whip. Which isn't terrible, but I love making as much from scratch as possible, so quite a many years later, this is a completely homemade version.
I have always been curious about what makes this a southern tradition (after all, it's really just vanilla pudding, Nilla wafers, sliced bananas and whipped cream), so I did some reading. It seems that bananas first began being marketed in the United States around the turn of the century, in the early 1900's. Cooks began using the fruit in all sorts of dishes, especially in recipes for puddings and custards with meringue toppings. The addition of the vanilla wafers in the banana pudding came later. I couldn't find exactly why this picked up more in the southern states than in any other areas, but a great many thanks to the southerners who dreamed up this amazing dessert!
This pudding is made using the same exact process that is used for making pastry cream. You may remember that last summer I did a step-by-step tutorial (with photos) of how to make pastry cream. If you are making homemade pudding or pastry cream for the first time, it may help to refer to that post. The key is to just keep whisking once everything is on the stovetop, and once you get a few bubbles on the surface the mixture should get thick and shiny. Running it through the fine-mesh sieve will catch any bits of egg in case it was overcooked just a tad. The strainer seems to always catch at least a few little pieces whenever I make pastry cream or ice cream custard.
This is actually a really quick recipe to put together (minus the chill time) and is a perfect end to any summer meal!

Southern Banana Pudding
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Prep Time: 30 minutes (active), 4 hours (inactive)
Total Time: 30 minutes
2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
30 vanilla wafers
2 large bananas, cut into ¼-inch slices
¾ cup heavy cream, chilled
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Heat the milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Meanwhile, whisk the egg and yolk in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Whisk in the cornstarch until combined and the mixture is pale yellow and thick, about 20 seconds.
2. When the milk mixture reaches a full simmer, gradually whisk the simmering mixture into the egg mixture to temper. Return the mixture to the saucepan, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula; return to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until a few bubbles burst on the surface and the mixture is thickened and glossy, about 30 seconds. Off the heat, whisk in the butter and vanilla.
3. Strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to keep a skin from forming.
4. Line the bottom of a 1½-quart serving dish with vanilla wafers. On top of the wafers, place a layer of the sliced bananas. Pour ½ of the pudding over the bananas, and spread to the edges of the dish. Repeat the vanilla wafers, bananas, and pudding again. Press plastic wrap against the surface of the pudding and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
5. When ready to serve, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread on top of the pudding and top with crushed vanilla wafers. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

How incredible does this LOOK? I have never had bananas in bread pudding but I'm not sure why I never thought of that before. Awesome job Michelle 🙂
YUMMY!! This is a great alternative to box pudding! Which is what I grew up on 😉
Tana- cracking me up because yes you are right that you can't bring this to a Southern church deal with out perfectly peaked meringues! Bless your heart is right! We also crushed the vanilla wafers mixed w/ melted butter and formed the bottom like a graham cracker crust, but I can't say that I like it better that way.
I have been lurking on your site and love it!!! But I had to comment on the banana pudding recipe. It's almost perfect except for the topping. To be truly an authentic Southern banana pudding the topping HAS to be an egg white meringue browned on the oven before refrigerating. Where I'm from, a whipped cream topping would have all the church ladies shaking their heads and murmuring, "Bless her heart…"
Im glad someone said that bc where im from it aint southern at all without meringue on top & we call it "Nanner Puddin"
Looks delicious but TRUE southern banana pudding has a baked meringue topping. The meringue made with egg whites and white sugar. This is the way my grandmother and mom have always made it. It tastes heavenly when warm from the oven and even better the next day after it has chilled in the fridge (if there was ever any left over the next day, lol!).
I always make "from scratch" banana pudding for my FIL's birthday & Father's Day. We are from NC so we too are accustomed to the meringue topping but he doesn't care for the meringue so I always leave it off. I'm going to try this recipe tonight to see how it compares to the one I always use out of a cookbook by Mrs. Hanes, the lady who is famous nationwide for her delicious, paper-thin Moravian cookies (www.hanescookies.com). Thanks for the time & effort you dedicate to your site. I always love to see a new entry in my inbox!
I have to admit I can relate when you say the cool whip and boxed pudding mixture. I spent many a birthday making boxed cakes. Now that I've started making from scratch, I realize how much better it is! You can really put so much more into it than just ingredients. This recipe looks lovely!
History major's best guess….that the fruit coming in during the early 1900s was maybe coming in from trade routes with the Caribbean and coming into the Southern ports first? Jello has actually been around a while lol…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jell-O#History…it could have been a marketing thing they did back then…. Just a guess…still delicious though 🙂
As soon as I read the name of this I started getting teary eyed. My Mom made this for us while growing up in Texas. She didn't use whipped cream on top just another layer of Nilla wafers. As I read your recipe and the preceeding words about your Grandmama I was dropping tears down my cheeks of happy love filled memories. thank you for sharing this recipe, I don't know why I never ask my Mama to tell me hers…
This looks to die for. Born in Louisville, KY but primarily raised between Memphis, TN and West Memphis, AR, banana pudding has always been a favorite. But to shame my southern heritage, to all you who say it's not southern without browned meringue, this southern belle HATES meringue. To me, it always leaves a layer of "slime" underneath it and it has nothing on the refreshing sweet coolness of fresh whipped cream.
Oh my gosh, this looks yummy! coming up with a way to make Banana Pudding cupcakes and I think I am going to use your Banana Pudding recipie!!! And let me say I am from the South and I have never had a meringue topping on my Banana Pudding and I never want one. Whipped topping is the best on Banana Pudding! Thanks for this amazing looking Banana Pudding!
I love Nanner Puddin'!! My beloved Grandmother "Nanny" has made this all of my life. I haven't had it for years but this recipe is spot on. I made my own Banana Pudding a few years back. I can't stand that Cool Whip stuff, just can't do it. I whipped up some heavy cream with a dash of bourbon and vanilla. Dang! I swear, I could eat the whole thing over a few days.
Btw, I have been enjoying your site for a few years now. As an experienced home cook and baker of many years, just wanted to say thanks! Yours is one of my favorites. Some of the best, and now beloved, tried and true recipes that I have come across. You rock! And the recipes that you put on the site, it's like you are picking my brain sista! Love them all!
To make it the best, you need to make your own vanilla wafers! This recipe makes enough for me to make a trifle bowl of Banana Pudding. I also like to add a block of softened cream cheese to the pudding when it is done. I know it's not "traditional" but it sure gives the pudding a bang!
Vanilla Wafers
5 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar (vanilla sugar is the best if you have some)
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
2 cups unbleached cake flour or all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk and mix well. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
3. Spoon the dough into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Cut off the tip of one of the corners and pipe the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets at least one inch apart.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the bottoms begin to turn golden brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Serve or store in an airtight container.
Yield: 4 dozen cookies

Chicago police have arrested a man who allegedly took part in a $1 million jewelry robbery in Pine Township.
Authorities said they questioned 30-year-old Oscar Rodriguez after he was found standing in a Chicago street just before 3 a.m. Friday. A name check uncovered his outstanding Pennsylvania warrant for robbery.
Northern Regional Police Chief Robert Amann said they believe Rodriguez is one of three people allegedly responsible for stealing about $1 million worth of jewelry in May from a salesman who was in the parking lot of Grafner Brothers Jewelers at Pine Tree Shoppes off Perry Highway.
Surveillance video at a nearby store captured images of the suspects.
Northern Regional police are working with the FBI on the investigation.

Sprint accidentally outs Kyocera Echo hours ahead of media event
Just hours ahead of its planned media event, Sprint has accidentally outed the big announcement. According to the company's website, Sprint will be launching the dual-screen Kyocera Echo smartphone — the same device that we were hearing rumors about this morning. The short blurb notes that the Echo will provide users with a combined 4.7-inches of screen real-estate and "the space needed to run the apps that connect you to the people and information you need every day." The two screens can be used in unison or independently to run multiple apps… pretty slick. We'll know more just a few hours from now. Be sure keep it locked on BGR for our hands-on and first thoughts.

Beaufort Scale

Another reason why I want to know more precisely the wind force is the fact that I have rather (perhaps too) many sail sizes.
I mean, probably I would not be using an anemometer if I had only 3 sails, say 5.5, 7.0 and 8.5, which probably would also cover most of the wind range. In this case the scale of Beaufort would probably also be sufficient: F4,5,6. Never a dillemma, no worries.
But my sail range is: 5.0,5.7,6.7,7.8,8.8,11.0 and I want to have the ideal setup for a given wind force.
When I arrive at my favourite spot, the first thing I do is a wind speed measurement. I've got a windmaster 2 and I'm really happy with it. It indicates the current, average and max wind speed. I'm only interested in the average wind speed of course. Then I do some other things that keep me busy with everthing BUT rigging up the sail, because I want to postpone this as long as possible. E.g. I take out the board of the trailer, screw the fin, take out the boom, mast, sailbag, go to the toilets, etc..
The reason of this, is that I want to confirm my measurement, let's say 15 minutes later. If I get confirmation of approximately the same measurement as before (always average wind speed), I will rig up my sail accordingly. If there is too much difference, probably I will put on my neoprene first and do still a 3rd measurement afterwards. If this is again completely different, I get nuts
Then probably I will go to others to see and ask what they rig, I really hate to do this because then everything gets so subjective ...
Luckily, most of the times, I get after three measurements a really good indication.
I guess that all of this sounds a little bit freaky, but I know that I'm not the only one.
Oh yes, and there is also the psychological aspect of picking the sail size.
Only recently, when I was about to rig my sail, I saw an old windsurf buddy on the beach with all brand new slalom stuff.
I changed my sail for 1 size up. Why ? I just knew he was going to show off and do some fun drag racing with me. Too much testosteron, I know. Stupid, because afterwards I was too overpowered.
Another example is when I feel a little tired, I sometimes tend to rig 1 sail size smaller which I afterwards regret.
You see, picking a sail size can be one of the hardest things about windsurfing unless you stick to objective measurements.

Cambodia update
I really haven't had time to update you on the Cambodia trip. we've been teaching English for 3 days and building great relationships with the Cambodian students . Tomorrow is Sunday, so we'll start with worship totally in Khmer. It will be quite an experience participating in worship but not understanding a word. What we will know is that the worshippers are devoted to Jesus and praising him in just one of the many languages which will worship Him in eternity. We also know that the Holy Spirit will be there and we'll be praying that he touches us just as he touches the Cambodian worshippers.
Prayer Notes: three of us have been sick today and would appreciate your prayers. We've been moved by testimonies of young Christians whose faith is not understood by their families, yet they are showing great faith and Grace: please join us in praying for their families to understand the love that I found in Jesus.
June 12 -power outage? No problem
We've been informed that Rockland will have no electrical power from 6:00 am to noon on Sunday June 12.
NO PROBLEM! We'll still have the power of the Holy Spirit, and the message of the Gospel which is "the power of God for Salvation!"
Come and worship 10:00 am. (hope your clock runs on batteries)
Mother's Day 2016
Happy Mother's Day 2016
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat
the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Proverbs 31:25-31 NIV

In the early 1990s, the Buffalo Bills attained an unprecedented accomplishment by appearing in four straight Super Bowls, which no other team had ever done. The team did not win a single one of those Super Bowls, though, and their 0-4 record forever marks the agony of coming in second. As of 2014, the Bills have yet to return to the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl XXV
Under coach Marv Levy, the Bills' string of Super Bowl appearances began in January 1991, when they faced the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXV. The game was widely considered one of the best in Super Bowl history, with multiple lead changes and a pair of gutsy teams battling toe to toe. In the end, it came down to a 47-yard field goal kick from Buffalo kicker Scott Norwood. His missed it -- cementing the Giants' 20-19 victory.
Super Bowl XXVI
In some ways, the Bills never recovered from that missed kick. The next year, they again thrashed their American Football Conference rivals in the playoffs and headed into the Super Bowl, looking for the championship trophy. They were stopped by the Washington Redskins, who, under coach Joe Gibbs, built a commanding halftime lead that Buffalo couldn't overcome. The Bills lost again, by a score of 37-24.
Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII
It was the Dallas Cowboys who sealed the Bills' 0-4 Super Bowl record. Led by Quarterback Troy Aikman and running back Emmitt Smith, the Cowboys dominated the NFL in the early 1990s. The Bills simply couldn't compete with the dominate team in either of two consecutive Super Bowl matchups. Super Bowl XXVII was a 52-17 blowout and Super Bowl XXVIII was only marginally better with a final score of 30-13.
Famed Players
Despite the heartbreak, the Super Bowl Bills left a proud legacy. Three players on those teams -- quarterback Jim Kelly, running back Thurman Thomas and wide receiver James Lofton -- were eventually selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, along with head coach Marv Levy.
A Player's Legacy
A poignant moment in Super Bowl history came from wide receiver Don Beebe, who, in the midst of the Super Bowl XXVII rout, ran down showboating defensive tackle Leon Lett to strip the ball away and deny the Cowboys a touchdown. The gesture had no effect on the outcome of the game, but became an enduring example of never giving up.

Tyne & Wear Marine BLT
bollard load test rig
The newly launched Bollard Load Test system (BLT ®) is a fully calibrated, easy-to-use solution to safely test the strength of marine bollards.
The Patent-pending BLT system replaces the traditional method of a tug pulling against the bollard, a method that has previously caused damage to vessels and can be dangerous to the people involved in the test.
Breakthrough technology, developed by Tyne and Wear Marine Ltd, uses a powerful hydraulic ram and specialist torque rope to recreate conditions that are equivalent to 125 metric tonnes of 'pull'. The system allows for standardised testing of bollards by replicating the various forces and movements which they may experience when used to moor a vessel.
The strength of the bollard is measured using a pressure transducer fitted to the hydraulic cylinder to relay pressure back to a digital gauge in a remote location. The BLT can simulate spring lines at various angles up to 20 degrees thus giving a great deal of confidence in the bollard and surrounding structures.
Hydrosphere is exclusively able to offer this testing service throughout the UK and Ireland.
- 125 metric tonnes of 'pull'
- Able to simulate spring lines at various angles up to 20 degrees
- Adjustable verticle component of applied force in order to replicate variations in water levels and ballast conditions
- Minimum breaking load 294 tons for 14m dyneema
- Fully calibrated and easy to use
- Available exclusively through Hydrosphere UK Ltd

Creegan family members visit destroyed building
STEUBENVILLE – Mary Elaine (Creegan) Feist started crying as she looked inside what was once her second home.
"That's my father's office over there in the corner. You can see what is left of it. This is absolutely heartbreaking because there were still a number of treasures left in there and so many memories," Feist said as she stood in the ice covered alley behind the Creegan Co. building on Washington Street.
The Creegan store has been closed since 2010, but Feist said the company still had a number of puppets, hand crafted animated characters and material in the building.
"We have been slowly moving things out. But we lost so much in the fire," she noted.
The brick structure was gutted Wednesday night and Thursday morning as a fire destroyed the building and forced residents in the nearby Washington Square Apartment building to seek shelter at the nearby Froehlich's Classic Corner restaurant.
"I can remember running down here after I got out of school every afternoon at St. Anthony's grade school. Even after the store closed I could walk in the building and still hear my mom's voice and the many creative people who worked there creating magic," Feist said.
"It was a really neat building with the wooden floors. When my parents bought the building it was a Montgomery Store and S&H Green Stamp business. It was a great place for everyone," she said.
Her brother, Sean Creegan, agreed.
"It was a hell of a place to grow up as a kid. When we were in the building it was our home. This is a very emotional day for all of us in the family but I believe we will come back," Sean Creegan said.
George Creegan sat in Feist's car a few feet away from the building he bought for his puppets and animated figures more than 50 years ago.
"This was our first building. Later on we bought the apartment building next door and used the first floor as part of our store. This is hard for me to see because there are so many memories gone with the building. We lost a lot of memorabilia that can't be replaced," George Creegan stated.
Feist said she received a phone call Wednesday night from the son of one of the Creegan Co. artists.
"He is now a firefighter and he called me to say firefighters were being called to a fire at the Creegan building. I started scrambling trying to call family members to get down here. By the time we arrived it was gone. The most creative people in the world once worked in that building. They created a new world for a generation of kids," according to Feist.
Steubenville Fire Chief Carlo Capaldi said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
"Washington Street between Fifth Street and Seventh Street will remain closed until the building is demolished. The walls are bowed at several places and the building is not stable. Steubenville Building Inspector Anthony Bodo inspected the structure Thursday morning and is now preparing the paperwork to have it demolished," Capaldi said.
"We are also keeping the residents out of the Washington Square Apartment building until the building is brought down because of the instability of the Creegan building walls. There are also several hot spots inside the building that we can't get to until everything is brought down and we can start pulling the material out," Capaldi remarked.
Two city firefighters were working Thursday afternoon from a fourth floor window in the apartment building to spray water into the rubble inside the Creegan building.
A Washington Square apartment building resident who asked to not be identified said he smelled smoke as he walked from the Rite Aid store to his apartment.
"I thought someone had burned some trash and it was finished because I didn't see anything outside. I went upstairs to my apartment and then saw a cloud of smoke blow by the window. I ran downstairs and saw sparks coming from the building and called the fire department," he related.
Greg Froehlich provided temporary housing in his restaurant building for several apartment residents again Thursday night.
"The Red Cross asked if the people could stay here until they were allowed back in their building. So the first night about nine people slept in our large banquet room and Thursday night they stayed upstairs in a vacant office. It was the least I could do," he commented.
Froehlich said he is used to hearing the fire truck sirens because the North Street fire station is only one block from his restaurant.
"I heard the sirens Wednesday night and realized they had stopped outside of the restaurant and then I saw the Creegan building burning. We tried to keep providing coffee and hot chocolate through the night because I could see the wind blowing the water from the fire hoses all over the place. Those firefighters and police officers who were out there during the fire were completely drenched.
"It was a tough night for those folks," Froehlich said.
