N-acetylcysteine does not prevent contrast nephropathy in patients with renal impairment undergoing emergency CT: a randomized study
Patients admitted to the emergency room with renal impairment and undergoing a contrast computed tomography (CT) are at high risk of developing contrast nephropathy as emergency precludes sufficient hydration prior to contrast use. The value of an ultra-high dose of intravenous N-acetylcysteine in this setting is unknown.
From 2008 to 2010, we randomized 120 consecutive patients admitted to the emergency room with an estimated clearance lower than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 by MDRD (mean GFR 42 ml/min/1.73 m2) to either placebo or 6000 mg N-acetylcysteine iv one hour before contrast CT in addition to iv saline. Serum cystatin C and creatinine were measured one hour prior to and at day 2, 4 and 10 after contrast injection. Nephrotoxicity was defined either as 25% or 44 μmol/l increase in serum creatinine or cystatin C levels compared to baseline values.
Contrast nephrotoxicity occurred in 22% of patients who received placebo (13/58) and 27% of patients who received N-acetylcysteine (14/52, p = 0.66). Ultra-high dose intravenous N-acetylcysteine did not alter creatinine or cystatin C levels. No secondary effects were noted within the 2 groups during follow-up.
An ultra-high dose of intravenous N-acetylcysteine is ineffective at preventing nephrotoxicity in patients with renal impairment undergoing emergency contrast CT.
Trial registration
The study was registered as Clinical trial (NCT01467154).
Prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) post contrast injection remains mandatory given its association to morbidity and mortality
Contrast nephropathy (CN) is classically defined as an increase in 25% or more, or as an absolute increase of 44 μmol/l of creatinine levels within three days following contrast injection
In patients undergoing elective radiological or cardiologic procedures, CN can be prevented by hydration, withdrawal of diuretics and/or nephrotoxic drugs. Its prevalence has therefore declined over the recent years
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may protect against contrast nephropathy
The aim of the present study was therefore to determine whether 6000 mg (ultra high dose) intravenous NAC, to account for a dose dependent effect, was efficient in preventing CN after emergency contrast CT-scan in patients admitted to the ER with elevated creatinine levels.
From 2008 to 2010, 124 consecutive patients were eligible in the emergency room on account of an estimated creatinine clearance by MDRD
Iohexol (Accupaque®, GE Healthcare, Opfikon) was the contrast medium used in this study at a dose of 1.5 ml/kg to a maximum of 150 ml.
Study protocol
Patients were randomized to either placebo (0.45% saline) or high dose (6000 mg) iv NAC (Fluimicil®, Zambon, Cadempino, Switzerland) diluted in 100 ml 0.45% saline to be administered during the 60 minutes before the CT-Scan. The randomization list was generated by computer, and NAC or placebo vials were prepared and numbered accordingly by the pharmacy. Investigators, patients and patient's primary physician were blinded to treatment group. No patients in the control group received NAC outside the study protocol.
Randomized patients were then assigned to hydration of 250 ml of 0.45% NaCl before the CT-Scan and blindly allocated to either high dose NAC versus placebo. After the CT-Scan, all patients received 1000 ml NaCl 0.45%. Creatinine and cystatin C serum levels were collected one hour before CT-Scan and at day 2, 4 and 10. The T0 value for creatinine and cystatin C was the value measured before the CT-Scan. Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C were measured by the Jaffe method, and by a nephelometric assay respectively.
Outcome measures
The primary endpoint of the study was the occurrence of contrast nephropathy at day 2, 4 or 10, which was defined as an increase of at least 25% or 44 μmol/l in serum creatinine level or 25% increase in cystatin C levels at day 2, 4 or 10 compared to day 0. We also assessed the proportion of patients with contrast nephropathy regarding the biomarkers used and according to AKIN criteria. The AKIN criteria defined a stage 1 AKI as an increase in creatinine between 150% and 199% from baseline or an absolute increase of at least 26.2 μmol/l, a stage 2 AKI as an increase between 200% and 299% from baseline and a stage 3 AKI as an increase of at least 300% from baseline or a creatinine concentration higher than 354 umol/l with an acute rise of at least 44 μmol/l or initiation of RRT
Secondary endpoints were the mean increases in creatinine and cystatin C concentrations on days 2, 4 and 10 along with the maximum increase during the time periods from day 2 to day 10 (peak increase).
Statistical analysis
Based on a previous study
All analyses were performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Data were described as mean +/− SD. Proportions of patients in the control and the NAC groups were compared using Fisher's exact test. Mean increases in creatinine and cystatin C concentrations were compared between the two groups by use of Mann–Whitney test. Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the possible effects of loss to follow-up or death on the primary analysis. Pearson's correlation coefficient was computed between creatinine and cystatin C measures for each day. The significance level was fixed to 0.05 (two-tailed). All statistical calculations were performed using R for Windows (Version 2.11.1, R Development Core Team, 2010).

Flow-chart summarizing the study population.
Follow up did not allow qualification of contrast nephropathy in 4 patients (one in the placebo group, three in NAC group) because they died at day 0 (n = 2) or where lost immediately to follow up (n = 2). These patients were excluded from the main analysis but included in the sensitivity analysis.
In the remaining 110 patients, 8 patients did not have creatinine and cystatin C measured at day 4 either because they died before (n = 4), or because follow up was interrupted (n = 2) and two for technical reasons. Cystatin C at day 4 was not obtained in 7 other patients.
Eleven patients did not have creatinine and cystatin C measurement at day 10, either because they died before (n = 6), or they could not be reached (n = 4) or for technical reasons (n = 1). Seven other patients did not have cystatin C measured at day 10.
Baseline patient characteristics
At randomization, patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were similar between the two treatment groups. Treatment medications were also similar between the groups. All baseline parameters are shown in Table
Of the 114 randomized patients, data were available for 110 patients. Out of these 110 patients, 52 received NAC and 58 the placebo. The number of patients who developed contrast nephropathy ranged between 16% (18/110) and 24.5% (27/110), depending on the definition of contrast nephropathy (Table
The variations in creatinine and cystatin C concentrations on days 2, 4 and 10 in both groups are reported in Figure

Median and dispersion of the evolution of creatinine and cystatin C after CT

(a) Median and dispersion of the evolution of creatinine at day 0, day 2, day 4 and day 10 after CT in the N-acetylcysteine group (white) and in the control group (grey); (b) Median and dispersion of the evolution of cystatin C at day 0, day 2, day 4 and day 10 after CT in the N-acetylcysteine group (white) and in the control group (grey).
None of the sensitivity analyses, performed to explore the impact of loss to follow-up or death, led to a quantitatively different result: all p-value ranged between 0.30 and 0.99. In particular, the composite event of death or acute kidney injury occurred in 14 (24%) of 58 patients (after exclusion of the patient lost to follow-up) in the placebo group, and in 18 (33%) of 54 patients in NAC group (including the 2 patients who died at day 0).
A correlation coefficient was computed between creatinine levels and cystatin C levels at day 2, 4 and 10. The correlation was of 0.87 at day 2, 0.83 at day 4 and 0.67 at day 10 demonstrating a good congruence of the two measures.
No side effects attributed to NAC injection were observed throughout the study.
This study demonstrates that ultra-high dose intravenous NAC does not prevent contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with impaired renal function undergoing emergency contrast CT-Scan, whatever the definition used for the condition and independently of the use of creatinine or cystatin C as markers of renal function.
In this work, we used both the classical definition of contrast nephropathy (25% increase in serum creatinine or absolute increase of 44 umo/l of creatinine), as well as cystatin C and AKIN criteria. AKIN critera have been recently demonstrated to be predictive of hospital mortality contrast nephropathy in ICU patients
This study focuses on a poorly studied and fragile population, namely patients from the ER with elevated creatinine levels undergoing emergency CT-Scan. This population is important since it is a large population in which standard preparation before contrast injection is impossible due to time constraints. In addition these patients usually require rapid and often multiple radiologic examinations. Furthermore, appreciation of the basal renal function of these patients is difficult given a usually unique measurement of creatinine level available. In this study, we observe that approximately one out of four patients presenting to the ER with an elevated creatinine undergoing contrast CT-Scan level will develop contrast nephropathy. This high incidence differs from the incidence described post angiography or post elective CT
NAC possesses potential anti-oxidant and hemodynamic properties that have been hypothesized to protect against contrast nephropathy. Since 2000 and the princeps study from Tepel
A role of NAC on creatinine secretion independently of kidney filtration has been reported by Hoffman and collegues
Our study is limited by some aspects. First our population is relatively small and we cannot exclude a minor effect of NAC that might have been detectable in a larger cohort. However, such a small effect would probably not be relevant in clinical practice. Second our selection criteria were based on a single creatinine level measurement in the ER. We may therefore have mixed acute and chronic cases of renal impairment, rendering our population less homogenous than in previous studies but closer to everyday practice in the ER. The high rate of CN demonstrates that this population was in any cases vulnerable. Finally, the contrast medium dose used for CT-Scan is generally lower than for cardiac angiography which has been the situation mostly studied regarding NAC effect. Despite these limitations, the follow up of patients with two renal markers, the very high dose of NAC and different definitions of AKI used are strong arguments against an effect of IV NAC on AKI prevention in patients presenting on the ER with a decreased estimated clearance and undergoing contrast CT-Scan.
In summary, contrast-induced nephropathy incidence is high in patients with a low estimated GFR undergoing an emergency CT-Scan. Intravenous NAC at high dose is not more efficient in this population than hydration alone for prevention of contrast nephropathy and should not be used in this setting.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
About 3 years ago the HOA of my townhouse neighborhood opted-in to the GA POA Act. Separate from that they established a $250 late fee for a quarterly dues payment of $825! I'm still trying to determine how and when this late fee was established but it may have been before opting-in to the GA-POA. In either case it seems quite excessive. Given that the Georgia POA states "... a late or delinquency charge not in excess of the greater of $10.00 or 10 percent of the amount of each assessment or installment..." (section 44-3-232), I wonder if this large fee is legal.
If your HOA has opted into the GA POA Act, then the maximum it can charge for a late fee is $10 or 10%, whichever is more. I applaud your astute research. If they are charging a $250 late fee for a $825 assessment, then that would be in violation of the statue you cite.
However, please be aware that a HOA is entitled to charge interest and costs of collection. O.C.G.A. § 44-3-232(b)(2) & (3). Unless they have turned this matter over to an attorney, it is unlikely that the interest and costs of collection have accrued to the amount that they are attempting to charge.
Good luck.

Thank you Mr Huffman! I really appreciate your response. I understand what you saying about the possibility of interest and collection costs, however in this case the HOA is charging the fee starting the first day that the assessment is late. One clarification I was looking for was whether the date in which the late charge was established by the HOA mattered. It appears from your response that only the GA POA statute matters. Thanks again.
I agree with Mr. Huffman and suggest you ask for a breakdown of what they are calling this late fee. If indeed it is strictly a late fee, then they are in violation of the POA. You should inform the board of this in a very polite manner in writing, sent certified mail return receipt, and ask that they reduce the fee to the statutorily allowed maximum (and go ahead and pay it, if possible). If they refuse to budge, you have two options, wait to be sued and take the risk of paying the additional attorneys fees and court costs for the collecting of the valid amounts, or speaking to an attorney who might be able to resolve this by a letter on your behalf.
This is not intended to be legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. If more information is needed, you should consult with an attorney in your state regarding the specifics of your situation and the options available to you.Ask a similar question

He rates shares "neutral" with a $7 price target. Garcha, like many on Wall Street (myself included), believe the only savior for the company would be an outright sale. Heins touched a little bit on the strategic review process RIM is undertaking, but didn't offer any updates.

[Webinar] How to Blog to Make a Great Living
Host: Dan Page
Time: Thursday 10/18/2012 8:00 PM (Recorded)
"Making Money on the Internet" is incredibly difficult and maddening for most people. The learning curve is steep and you can invest thousands of dollars in a heartbeat, with little to no results.
This is what Kim Ezzell was facing when she began a second career, six years ago.
Fast forward six years: Kim works part-time on the Internet from her home office, earning more than many people earn, working full time.
Kim doesn't sell anything. She never learned a thing about setting up websites, merchant accounts, affiliate marketing or any of the traditional vestiges of "Internet Marketing".
Instead, Kim learned how to leverage her natural curiosity about current events and her ability to communicate effectively to earn an enviable living as a Blogger.
Her only investment was a second-hand computer, and willingness to learn. Her husband (Dan Page) helped her to secure her first client, and Kim ran with it from there.
Join Dan on Thursday, as he explains the entire process that Kim went through, and how you can too.
If you're searching for a way to earn a living online without having to sell anything, this could be the most important webinar you'll attend all year.
All good things,

Hello all, we are renewing our AV very soon and currently have Kaspersky. While good we have found it has a heavier footprint than we'd like and the we have also found the admin kit to be "buggy" So we are seriously thinking of switching. I of course have taken a lot of advice from the community, and I have also been doing some online research. I have attached an image with the test results for 6 AV solutions we are considering, so I have an idea of their effectiveness, but I don't for the performance footprint. Can anyone interject their thoughts, facts, or links to information about that for any of these to better help me choose? I'll be honest I am leaning towards GFI Vipre or ESET NOD32, but I am trying to keep an open mind about what will work best for us on a cost basis, and efficacy basis, as well as an administrative basis. Are there any particular things you have to say about the one I compared?
The AV solutions I compared were
GF Vipre,
Thank you all in advance.
Oct 21, 2011 at 10:48 UTC
We were using ESET Nod32 up until about a year ago. It worked well and did have a fairly small footprint, but it was never setup properly here. Every client downloaded updates directly from the ESET servers and there was no centralized administration. When it was time to renew I checked out their console and also evaluated Vipre. From what I could find they both seemed to perform pretty close to the same but I liked the Vipre console better than ESET's so we went that was. Price for 3 years was close, with Vipre being a couple hundred bucks cheaper.

from what I've heard Vipre has the lowest performance footprint, but I'm not sure about performance as I have no experience first-hand. I was entertaining switching from AVG a year ago, and from the numbers I saw from a Vipre whitepaper, or something like it, it would have been easy on my machines that are in the 4+ yr old range, which was attractive at the time.
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:32 UTC
I agree with you Alex about kaspersky, Ive literally just had to turn on access scanning of some machines as it was killing them, and the admin is a tad buggy. It does do the job though.
Id scratch Sophos from your list its awful. A few moons back I used bit defender and it was very poor, Ive heard though its come along way of late. Ive heard a lot of good things about eset and gt.
If you have the time I would contacts a few and get them to send over a free trial, then race them so to speak.
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:33 UTC
We're testing Vipre right now. I'm happy with the small footprint and resource usage that I've seen so far.
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:34 UTC
NOD and Vipre have the lowest footprint. Vipre is my choice by far!
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:36 UTC
Vipre has my vote for Business and Consumer.....
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:37 UTC
I also recommend Vipre. We have been using it for several years now and the users don't even know it's there.
Administering this thing is a breeze too...The dashboard will tell you what each agent is doing at a glance or remotely controlling the agents is a simple task.
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:38 UTC
Viper or Sophos
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:44 UTC
I've been using Vipre for about a year now, a real improvement over both AVG and Symantec Corporate, one or two features missing like the ability to automatically switch a PC off after a scheduled Deep scan, but overall, very please, quick scan scheduled for every lunchtime, the users notice the tray icon go green for a few minutes and that's about it
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:44 UTC
I've just changed from kaspersky to Vipre and love it, kaspersky is very intrusive
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:47 UTC
the combo of smallest footprint and still being protected...i'd go with Eset Nod32.
But I am starting to look at some cloud protection solutions...
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:49 UTC
Just got done comparing different procucts and VIPRE also came out ahead. Easy to deploy and central management is comprehensive too.
Its not the fastest to finish its scans, but who cares if it has almost zero impact. None of my users even noticed it (I didn't tell them they were test subjects as to not taint the results of my study).
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:50 UTC
Mimesis Solutions Limited is an IT service provider.
For the enterprise I would have to say Sophos. However ive head good things about vipre
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:54 UTC
Have been using Vipre for several years. Completely happy with it's performance.
Oct 20, 2011 at 8:57 UTC
Been using ESET for about three years, and it's been great for us. Machines that were so slow they were unusable with our previous product (McAfee) are now usable again.
Oct 20, 2011 at 9:07 UTC
I've been using VIPRE for over a year now. The resource usage is good, and it runs fine on some of our less than ideal computers. Only complaint I've had about VIPRE is it requires a reboot for nearly every software upgrade, which is intrusive. But it's not like that happens very often.
Support has been good and price is extremely competitive.
Oct 20, 2011 at 9:39 UTC
If the answer isn't Vipre I'm going to be very surprised. While I've occasionally seen some hiccups when scanning outlook email, the footprint overall is VERY low.
edit: Just wanted to point out that Vipre resolved the email hiccup issue (which was actually related to attachment scanning IIRC) a bit back.
Oct 20, 2011 at 10:20 UTC
After few years of trial and error with Symantec, AVG, Kasperky and other weird stuff, end up using Vipre and couldn't be happier. Light, fast, easy to manage and upgrade.
Oct 20, 2011 at 11:12 UTC
My boss almost talked me into staying with McAfee. I do have to say that their 8.8 isn't nearly as bad as the older versions. Nearly as bad really isn't that great though.
I did a test run of Vipre and Panda. The Vipre did seem to slow my laptop down, but I am sure that's because I had the management installed on it as well. I am going to give it one more run by placing the management server on a server and see how it goes. Panda was nice, but I am not that comfortable with Cloud based AV honestly.
Oct 20, 2011 at 12:03 UTC
Do you do any virtualization of your desktop environment? I was using Vipre and it slowed my virtual environment to a crawl. I worked with (what has become) GFI and they could not make it work.
Additionally, we got hit with Conflicker while protected with Vipre, and they were not able to protect us. I worked for a month with them on this and finally ended up switching to Trend Mirco. Conflicker has not bothered us since, and TM is the only product I am aware of that works with VMware's VSafe APIs to protect your virtual environment with near zero footprint on your virtual desktop and zero impact on its performance.
For what it is worth, that is my experience

AVG touts their light foot print. A lot of our customers mention it as one of the key features of making an endpoint security switch. I know it wasn't on your list of products but thought the insight might be helpful. Here an educational link about AVG if you are intersted in learning more - http://www.productivecorp.com/content/learning-center/learning-center-avg/avg-internet-security-business-edition-2012-training
Best of luck with the project.
Oct 20, 2011 at 6:57 UTC
I've used AVG on the non-commercial side plenty of times. While a good product and not too heavy, I have noted some of the more recent version can cause some sluggishness. But the real killer for them is that they weren't as high in scoring as the 6 on my list in many of the AV tests. If we're going to spend the money I want something that is tested to work not just good but very well. I appreciate the thoughtful suggestion though.
Oct 20, 2011 at 7:47 UTC
FixIT Chiltern is an IT service provider.
Only used ESET on my personal desktop and found it to be very light on system resources. That was a few years ago.
At work we have AVG Network Edition which seems to work very well, no user ever complains about it. We do have pretty new machines with dual cores and 3 or 4 GB RAM, so that should be the case.
Most if not all will offer 30 day trials, so pick a few test machines and try each one out and get feedback from the users.
Oct 20, 2011 at 10:52 UTC
just switched to vipre... used Brian S and Scott Allan Miller as the reslller
Oct 21, 2011 at 6:52 UTC
Any reason why you aren't looking at MS forefront? Very light weight and very reliable. Either way whatever you do don't go for Kaspersky latest versions are very resource hungry. We are moving from that to Forefront shortly.

Less than a week after breaking the Santa Anita record for wins at a meeting with his 48th victory, trainer Doug O'Neill is not resting. He'll saddle two of the six runners in Saturday's Tokyo City Handicap (gr. III) as he looks to extend his record and win his ninth stakes of the meeting. The 37-year-old trainer had 216 starters through Thursday, nearly twice that of any other trainer. The Tokyo City, a 1 1/8-mile contest for older horses which was known until this year as the San Bernardino Handicap, has seen such winners as Native Diver and Alysheba in its 48 previous runnings. O'Neill will send out a pair of 5-year-olds – Supah Blitz, winner of last summer's Del Mar Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. II), and Jake Skate, who won the Lafayette Handicap at Golden Gate Fields earlier this year and is the starting high weight under 117 pounds. Martin Pedroza will ride Jake Skate and Victor Espinoza has the mount on Supah Blitz, who will try to bounce back from a last-place performance in the March 5 Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I). In conjunction with the race, Santa Anita will celebrate Tokyo City day, which includes cultural exhibits and on-track demonstrations like tea ceremonies, origami and Taiko Drums. Saturday's supporting feature is the $75,000 Santa Paula Stakes for 3-year-old fillies. Trainer Bob Baffert will saddle stakes winners No Bull Baby and Inspiring in the 6 ½ furlong race. $100,000-added Tokyo City Handicap (gr. III), 4 & up, 1 1/8 miles

Erica Windemere was supposedly a 14 year old girl afflicted with ALS. In reality, the name was an alias used by Barb and Toby Windemere as part of an elaborate scheme to con money out of those sympathetic to 'Erica's' situation.
The novel Through the Darkness was seemingly authored by her. It described her life story and the many difficulties she faced, including her disease and her home life. This included being threatened by her mother and passed around a rape gang.
The entire story was exposed as a hoax after the murder of Douglas Lafferty brought to light the scheme. Despite that, 'Erica' was used by Detective Robert Goren to force Christine Wilkes to admit to the murder. (CI: Faith)
Erica Windermere was probably based on the Kaycee Nicole (Swenson) hoax. It also has similarities to Jeremy "Terminator" LeRoy, who was supposedly a gay, HIV-postitive teenage boy who became famous as the author of several books, including Sarah and The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, as well as a wide range of reviews and essays. Later, it was revealed that LeRoy was actually Laura Albert, a struggling songwriter from San Francisco who had originally created LeRoy as a means of opening up about her own childhood abuse. However, New York Magazine first suggested LeRoy was a fraud in October 2005, over three years after the episode Faith originally aired.
Erica's most direct inspiration, however, might be Anthony Godby Johnson, a supposed teenage author whose book "A Rock and a Hard Place" was a total hit and had a life full of illnesses and abuse at the hand of his biological parents, just like Erica Windermere. He's almost surely confirmed to have been the creation of the school teacher Joanna Victoria Fraginals aka Vicki Johnson, who made herself pass as Godby's foster mother.

Frustrated with my teenager!
I'm super frustrated with my oldest because he refuses to do his chores! My in-laws are coming into town and I'm working on getting the house clean, but he refuses to listen to me!! This morning I gave each of the boys a simple to do list, let them know that these chores had to be completed today or they would put on restriction. The two younger boys have completed most of their chores but my oldest refuses to. He's already grounded from his computer and video games, the only thing I have left to take away is TV privileges. He is upstairs sound asleep!!! Help please!
Start bangin those pots and pans mama! You're the boss, not him!
Sounds like he needs to lose the use of his bedroom if he wants to be disrespectful. If you can't be part of the family and help out then you can't have the luxury of a bedroom. Enjoy the couch and your loss of privacy.

As we moved away from JNDI, it impacted the associated code, and it was
never fixed. I think it's about time...
For now I advise ignoring the SP and Trigger code fixes. First because
MVCC code and transaction subsystem will impact the implementation and we
need to rethink the implementation. After the transaction branch and the

these features again.
Well if it's just a matter of getting the tests running yeah it's not a big
In terms of the big picture I think all this code needs to be
reimplemented. The trigger and SP specifications need to be better defined.
Handling chain recursion issues needs to be reconsidered because we've
removed the InvocationStack I think or it's not being leveraged. Everything
should be gutted IMHO.
Right sorry I overlooked that. So this is something we should do all over from scratch. I think we're all in agreement here.There is little I can do regarding those thwo things. My idea was to cut a release today or tomorrow, in order to have a stable base for the next iteration.
The idea is to have something that works *before* we get the txn codeYeah that's why I don't think it's worth the time to deal with it. We
merged, because then we will have a base to start with.
Those tests has been @Ignored since 2008 :/
should just focus on the TxN and OSGi side then reimplement it together.
Right let's get a release out with all these new advances and have our users enjoy them. Meanwhile we can focus on these other efforts and work towards getting out subsequent releases with them included.

text: Infocrossing ( IFOX) sank 14% after the Leonia, N.J., maker of business-software company posted earnings of 12 cents a share, or $2.9 million. This compares with a 1-cent loss last year, but it also misses two analysts' estimates by a penny. Revenue, at $58.9 million, was just under the only analyst target of $58.9 million. Looking ahead, the company expects 2007 revenue to total $250 million to $255 million -- at least $5 million short of the only projection. Shares were off $2.25 to $13.81. Saba Software ( SABA) dropped after cutting its guidance for the fiscal third quarter. The California-based company now expects a non-GAAP bottom-line of between break-even and 2 cents a share, compared with prior estimates of 7 cents to 10 cents a share.
