Thanks very much for adding this - I just found out I have a Lipoprotein(A) measurement 383 nmol/L, so yeah, any discussion about understanding the present condition of a person's plaque deposits is helpful.

I think it's good that Yahoo's trying to diversify. The problem, is that Yahoo! is like that destructive little girl w/braces in 'Finding Nemo', benign neglect (Flickr) to worse (Delicious) typically await the quality properties they acquir

On the 'buy' side, I've also used elance.com and freelance.com and found them all similarly useful. Of the 3, freelance.com seems to have more people with experience installing and configuring 'big' projects like Canvas/Instructure.
