What is childhood leukemia?
What are the key statistics for childhood leukemia?
Leukemia is the most common cancer in children and teens, accounting for almost 1 out of 3 cancers. Overall, however, childhood leukemia is a rare disease.
About 3 out of 4 leukemias among children and teens are acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Most of the remaining cases are acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
ALL is most common in early childhood, peaking between 2 and 4 years of age. Cases of AML are more spread out across the childhood years, but it is slightly more common during the first 2 years of life and during the teenage years.
ALL is slightly more common among white children than among African-American and Asian-American children, and it is more common in boys than in girls. AML occurs about equally among boys and girls of all races.
Chronic leukemias are rare in children. Most of these are chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), which tends to occur more in teens than in younger children.
Survival statistics for childhood leukemia are in another section of this document.

Mother Jones has a brief assessment of S.1789 in Kevin Drum's Blog. The posts reviews the key sections of the legislation like most stories do but he goes further. He asks a fairly innocuous question. Why won't Congress allow the Postal Service charge a single piece First Class rate more in line with what other posts charge? His answer: "We are ruled by idiots."
Here are the last two paragraphs of his post:
Oh yeah: there's nothing in there [the list of changes that S.1789 makes] about allowing the postal service to increase postal rates. This is crazy. Take a look at countries around the world that have smaller volumes of mail than us: they all charge higher postage rates. They have to. And as volumes keep declining in America, we're going to need higher rates here too. Right now, a first-class equivalent stamp runs 75¢ in Germany, 72¢ in Britain, 82¢ in France, 98¢ in Switzerland, 97¢ in Belgium, and 63¢ in the Netherlands. There's no way that we can stay at 45¢ as volumes decline and pretend that somehow everything will be hunky-dory.
But allowing the price of a stamp to go up is apparently even more of a political taboo than closing rural post offices. I suppose Democrats are afraid of annoying granny and Republicans are so intent on busting the postal carriers union that they don't like the idea of anything that brings in more revenue. We are ruled by idiots.

I will post one or two obvious records that the general public will recognize the video game sample.The other two video game samples may not be as easy to identify.

Online Travel Guide - USA
Alaska Road Trip Planner, Tourist Attractions and Vacation Spots (AK, BC, YT)
Alaska Road Trip Planner
The first item of business in planning a road trip in Alaska is to find out if the vacation spots you plan on visiting even have road access. You may find yourself in need of a private plane or a ship, instead. Or on a "road to nowhere" (Sorry, Ms. Palin, the "bridge to nowhere" was never actually built). No problem. Let's start discussing the roads that do exist, and its pretty simple.
The "main drag" of Alaska, connects Anchorage with Fairbanks and points north, with Denali National Park between the two. The road is called, at various points, Highway 1, Highway 3 and the Parks Highway. The drive is quite scenic and provides good access to the tourist attractions of mainland Alaska. An Alaska road trip can continue south of Anchorage to Homer or Seward or east connecting up with the Alaska Highway, which is almost wholly located in the Yukon and British Columbia, Canada and is the only way one can actually drive to Alaska. You can actually head north on the Dalton Highway all the way to the Arctic Ocean, but don't.
Alaska Tourist Attractions
Most visitors to Alaska arrive by cruise ship in the summer months. Inner Passage cruises are typically about a week in length and leave from the cities of the Pacific Northwest. The popular ports of call in the Alaskan Panhandle are (in the order a north-bound ship visits them) Ketchican, Juneau and Skagway. Each of these stops are host to a variety of tourist attractions, including lumberjack shows, glacier flights, hikes to wilderness and glacier views, fisheries, Native American exhibits and more. Juneau is the capital of Alaska - enjoy this small urban pocket surrounded by deep wilderness. Skagway is tiny – on peak summer days at least nine out of ten people in the town are cruise passengers. Skagway has access to the Yukon via land and from there to the rest of the state.
Cruise ship visitors continue by sea to Seward on the Alaskan Mainland. Seward is a bus, car or train ride from Anchorage. Smart travelers spend some time in Anchorage rather than heading straight for the airport and home.
Anchorage is an almost non-Alaskan city smack in the middle of the state. There are a nice range of tourist attractions in Anchorage, including biking the coastal trail and watching the float planes land. If you have made it this far, head to Denali for a shot at seeing Mt. Mc Kinley, the highest peak in the United States, or just a chance to enjoy nature and wildlife. You can keep going to Fairbanks (and even a bit further to the Arctic Circle) and catch a plane for the trip home. For those who prefer a rail trip over an Alaska road trip, the Seward – Anchorage – Denali – Fairbanks route is covered by a very popular and scenic rail line – the Alaska Railroad. Try to spend some time in the dome car.
Alaska Vacation Spots
An Alaskan vacation is a rustic experience out in nature. The towns and cities of the Alaskan Panhandle cannot really be called vacation spots, since most visitors are day tourists off the cruise ships. Denali National Park is the number one Alaskan vacation spot offering a full range of accommodations and types of excursions into nature.

quote:As in they were happening simultaneously?
quote:Thinking about it, it could be cool if they do a parallel episode that is entirely focused on both weddings.
quote:I'm afraid if they end the season in the last episode with the RW and Arya getting hit in the back of the head with the axe people are going to absolutely lose their shite.
quote:Remotes thrown through screens all across the land.
quote:I wouldn't be surprised if they cut that out. In the grand scheme of things, it was just sort of a cheap trick. They might make her just get caught by the Hound.
quote:Did anyone NOT page flip after that to make sure Arya wasn't killed?
quote:I'm pretty confident she'll already be caught by the Hound. I'd also remove the axe thing from the show, since unless you kill off Joffrey right then, then tons of people will stop watching. Did anyone NOT page flip after that to make sure Arya wasn't killed?
quote:I'm pretty confident she'll already be caught by the Hound.
quote:They have to finish the episode with her getting hit, then the screen going black. People will be absolutely freaking out, but they will come back after talking only about that episode for the rest of the week. Their goal should be to have their watchers break their TV's. I would have burned my book if I could have found a lighter, TV watchers deserve the same.
quote:I want STANNIS! STANNIS! STANNIS! this season.
quote:So here's a surprise: the next Dunk and Egg tale will not be part of George R. R. Martin's upcoming Dangerous Women cross-genre anthology, as long anticipated. Instead, the anthology will feature an original novella called "The Princess and the Queen," which GRRM says tells "the true (mostly) story of the origins of the Dance of the Dragons." "The Princess and the Queen"-- along with twenty other cross-genre short stories from various celebrated authors-- has now been delivered to his editors at Tor. While no publication date has been set yet for Dangerous Women, we can probably expect it before the fourth Dunk and Egg tale (re: the She-Wolves of Winterfell), which is suddenly without an announced publication.

Spending only $37.17, Rodney Osborne was able to give $975.06 worth of groceries and living essentials to local charities in Ohio. Rodney is an expert couponer and knows all of the tricks to get an exceedingly large bang for his buck.
His method is to collect coupons from at least 10 different Sunday newspapers and to go to various grocery stores only when there are sales or double coupon days.
His $37.17 run took place over a few days with everything falling into place for the local community to benefit with several huge deliveries of food. While this method could be abused, Rodney is showing us the perfect way to use it: Feeding the hungry!
Charities that benefited from Rodneys good will include: People in Need Inc, Friends Who Share, Common Ground Free Store, and local churches.
His intentions are to donate to charity while teaching those with little money to stretch it further. He hopes its a trend that will catch on.
Rodney told ThisWeekNews.com, "Twenty dollars can turn into hundreds of dollars. Everyone needs to take advantage of this. These sales and coupons will always be there."
These methods were learned by Rodney the hard way when he and his wife were out of work in the past. Now that he is doing well financially, hes helping others with his acquired skills. "This is a great way to help those around you in need and it's a great way to build our community," Rodney told ThisWeekNews.com. "We didn't always receive help when we had a need, but I want to make sure others receive help."
Rodney feels that those dependent on charities and food banks for food wouldn't need to be dependent if they used his methods. He recommends watching out for grocery store sales, always using coupons, and to organize your effort. WeUseCoupons.com is also recommended by Rodney.
These methods will multiply charitable donations, so its highly recommended to use them. This will enable you to help multiple families instead of just one family. Great advice!
When was the last time you donated to a local charity or food bank? Now is a great time to do so – you can find a list of local food banks in your city here: http://feedingamerica.org/

There's Something Very Walt Jr.'y About Michael Phelps
Anybody else see it? Or hear it? Something's there. Can't quite put my finger on it, but I wouldn't be surprised for a second if Phelps announced tomorrow that he's only gonna answer to Flynn from now on.
P.S.- This is officially me crossing the line. There's really no turning back from photoshopping an American Olympic gold medal winner's swim gear on a kid with Cerebral Palsy. Pretty sure it's Barstool or bust after this one. Good thing only 80% of you want me to kill myself.

Branson performer wins Palas Ultimate Elvis® Tribute ContestThursday, March 28th, 2013 Issue 13, Volume 17.
The Pala tribute contest was one of 30 similar events that will be held worldwide in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. to select the number one Elvis Tribute Artist for 2013. Rob Ely, an ETA from Oakdale, Calif., took second place and won $1,250 for his performances of "Peace in the Valley," "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes." Mark Stevens, Washougal, Wash., won third place and $750 for his Elvis interpretations of "Just Pretend," "Suspicious Minds" and "Im So Hurt." Advertisement Two additional finalists were James Kruk of Redondo Beach, Calif., who performed Las Vegas era renditions of "Polk Salad Annie," "My Way" and "Cant Help Falling in Love With You" and Chris Luna of Ontario, Calif., who performed Las Vegas era renditions of a medley "Havin Some Fun Tonight, Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On, Jailhouse Rock and Hound Dog," "Never Been to Spain" and "How Great Thou Art." The five finalists were backed live by the EAS Band, the official Elvis tribute artist band of Graceland. Dean Z., 30, is a lifetime Elvis fan who grew up in Lancaster, Calif., but moved to Branson when he became the Elvis ETA in the Legends in Concert show. "My mom was a big Elvis fan. When I was three, an Elvis special was on TV in the living room. I immediately cleared off the coffee table, jumped up and started trying to dance like the King. Not long afterward, my mom made my first Elvis jump suit," he recalled. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

I apologize for the rambling post in advance, but this project is a bit of a story. Last year I found an antique mini fridge and box of kegerator parts at a yard sale for $25, so of course I took it home with me. I couldn't talk SWMBO into making room for it in our tiny house, so I fixed it up as a sanke kegerator and gave it to a friend as an early x-mas gift. A few days after it was delivered we were invited over to test it out. SWMBO liked it so much that she became jealous and changed her mind about having one in our house. Here's what that one looked like before delivery- When we were first discussing the conditions of having a keezer int he house, SWMBO was watching the movie "The Usual Suspects", so one of the conditions was that we name it "Keezer Soze". That I could handle, but the bad news was that I had a very limited budget to work with. On the plus side, I had some parts left over from the 1st project, and a GE 5.0cf freezer that was in storage. Thanks to a little luck and some craigslist scores, I slowly gathered most of the parts I needed. Yesterday I picked up 5 cornies from HBT'er Malt-O-Meal, and decided that it was time to start building. The small freezer will just barely hold 4 ball locks and a 5# CO2 tank if I put a tall collar on it. I have a 20# tank, so I'll only have 3 kegs for now. I'm setting it up for 4 taps in case I ever put the tank outside, or happen upon a cheap 5# tank. I started by making some boxes out of scrap 3/4" sheet goods to form the collar. I had some 1" stucco foam left over from a remodel job that I used to insulate the boxes with. I wanted to minimize the overall height, but without having any QD's for the cornies at my shop yesterday, I didn't know how short I could go. I made the collar pieces extra tall and left them separate so that I could later rip them to optimal height. I bought some QD's and brought them to the shop today, so I was able to cut the collar to height and assemble it. I used a motley assortment of scrap plywood, particle board, and MDF pieces, so I tried to face the nicest plywood inside where it will be exposed, and the ugly sides out where they'll be covered later. Then I ripped some mesquite to cover the top with so that the rubber part of the lid will seal well. The front pieces were bowing out, so I used some clamps to get it straight before securing the mesquite to hold it in line.
I removed the lock, and hinges from the freezer, and popped the thermostat inside the mounting hole so that nothing would protrude and interfere with the frame I plan to make. I then mounted the collar, re-installed the lid, and test fit some kegs. After much discussion, we had decided on mesquite trim/top, and a pass through tower. I originally wanted to make the tower out of some 3" copper pipe I had, but I measured and it wasn't long enough. I priced out getting some more, but it would have easily doubled the budget. I then considered making an octagonal tube out of mesquite, but decided that it would be way too much wood and wouldn't be very balanced and pleasing asthecially. In the end I decided to use a piece of 3" ABS I found in the corner of my shop, that I could paint any color I wanted, similar to this build that uses PVC-http://www.wortomatic.com/articles/C...-and-Kegerator I couldn't get the angles on the top rail perfectly in line using my miter saw, so I made a jig and used my radial arm saw to cut those. I then slathered on some ABS cement and held the joints tightly for about a minute. Some minor sanding had it looking pretty good. I then cut out a section on the back for access. Rather than use the cut out piece for the door which would be smaller than the hole, due to the width of the saw kerf, I decided to make the door out of a separate piece so that there wouldn't be any gap. This is when my Dad showed up, and asked what I was doing. After explaining the project to him, he informed me that he had several feet of 3" copper pipe in his garage that I could have in exchang for a sixer of homebrew!!! I may have an extra ABS pass through tower for someone elses keezer project. I went to get the copper, and was able to make the first two cuts before calling it a day. I may have to find someone with a gas chamber to weld the copper for me. I haven't decided exactly how to approach securing the joints yet. I will keep updating this thread as I make more progress, but I don't have much spare time, so it will probably be slow going.
Update- I was unable to get in touch with the welder who owes me a favor, so I decided to look for another option to join the corners. I made a test joint soldering a 3/4" piece of copper, and was surprised at how strong it was. A surprising amount of solder pooled on the inside, creating a nice bond. It also cleaned up pretty easily with a little filing and sanding. I soldered both joints on the 3", and then reinforced them by epoxying some steel angle brackets inside. I then used a dremel with a cut-off wheel to cut out an access panel on the back. With the back removed, I was able to use some mauls to straighten out a few dents on the front side of the pipe. The pipe was in pretty rough shape, but I think it will shine up nicely in the end. Then I soldered some small brass hinges onto the access door, and drilled holes for the faucets. I didn't like the idea of using those cheesy chromed plastic bushings to mount the faucets to the round surface, like I've seen on other towers. Instead, I cut some short lengths of 1" copper pipe and used the spindle sander to contour one side to a 3" concave radius. Then I soldered them in place. I also soldered a small brass knob on the door. I still haven't found a suitable catch or latch to keep the door closed. After cleaning up the soldered joints, I set the mostly complete tower aside, and started on the box with the help of my wife who had the day off. We were able to score half a sheet of 16oz copper that had been damaged slightly. The "damage" was barely noticeable, and easy to work around. With that in hand, I planed and milled some 1/2" mesquite flooring I had picked out of the burn pile at a flooring mill. We made some quick frames and wiped on a coat of teak oil finish. After cutting the copper panels to size, we pre-drilled some holes and used small screws to secure them in place.
The top of the freezer had a small plastic lip that prevented the panels from fitting completely flush, so I used a flush trim bit in the router to cut it off. Then we attatched the collar and the panels. We removed the vent for the compressor, and replaced it with a copper panel that we drilled a bunch of holes in. I hope it provides enough airflow. I think I'll probably install a computer fan in the compressor area just to be safe. Then we made some trim pieces for the corners, and some brackets to hold the panels together on the bottom. After securing the trim pieces, we started on the sub top section. I designed it to hold a section of rope lighting that will be tucked up inside and light the copper and mesquite side panels from above. We also picked up a floor register cover to use as a drip tray. We made a little tray out of the scraps of copper, but haven't soldered the corners yet. We need it to roll, but want to limit the height, so I found the smallest casters I could and screwed them to the base. We used some scraps of 3" ABS to create the inside flange pieces with the convex radius. They give a flat surface for the shank nut to tighten against. That's the extent of the progress so far. We're still undecided on what the top surface will actually be. One thought is a day of the dead mural painted on and then covered with bar-top epoxy. We've thought about making some old school leather rails to go around the edge of the top. I also have a bunch of colorful mexican talavera tiles we could use too. We're open to any ideas or suggestions.
I'm thinking of a movie, guess what it is...
that copper tower is going to be so cool... cant wait to see it done. keep the pics coming.
When in darkness... when in doubt... run in circles... scream and shout!
looks great... too bad SWMBO let that other one go! but this one looks like it will be a nice addition to the house.
Keep the pics coming!
Thanks for the pics! I have a freezer about the same size and need a pretty tall collar to be able to fit 4 cornies. I doubt I'll do a tower, but at least I have proof of concept for a tall collar.
subscribed! can't wait to see this progress!

SUMMARY: In an effort to improve the accuracy of its GIS maps, St. Charles Parish, La., purchased its own GNSS equipment. The parish Waterworks Department experienced outstanding results when mapping water infrastructure featuresexcept when working beneath the parishs towering oak trees, which deflected or blocked GNSS satellite signals. The parish upgraded to the Trimble® GeoExplorer® 6000 series of mapping GNSS handhelds with Trimble Floodlight technology and saw an immediate improvement in productivity and accuracy.
PROJECT DATE: Deployed in 2011
The last straw for St. Charles Parish, La., came when an underground water pipeline burst beneath a busy street. Traffic had to be diverted as the water continued to spill out onto the pavement. A half hour passed, and then another, before personnel from the Waterworks Department found the shutoff valve and stopped the deluge. The delay was caused by a faulty map that incorrectly showed the valves location on the other side of the street... To read a 672Kb PDF of the rest of this story, click HERE
Land Surveying: Are We Professional Enough?
Infrastructure expert Barry LePatner, interviewed extensively for the short documentary, says its message is one America truly needs to heed.
After the I-35W bridge collapsed in Minneapolis in 2007, Barry LePatner warned that it would only be a matter of time before another bridge suffered the same fate. In the wake of the May Skagit River Bridge collapse in Washington State, he explains why the nations leaders must act now to repair the nations crumbling infrastructure.

50 fines but 500 thank you's in March against litter
More than 50 litter louts have been hit with £75 fixed penalty notices since 1st March as part of a high-profile council campaign in Mansfield Town Centre.
Operation March Against Litter has seen Mansfield District Council's Neighbourhood Wardens join forces with the two town-centre based Enviro Crime Officers to carry out litter enforcement patrols on three Saturday daytimes and selected evenings.
The operation has seen up to ten enforcement officers patrolling town centre streets at any one time, instead of the normal two.
And the campaign has confirmed that the vast majority of town centre visitors do show respect for their environment by binning their litter. As well as dishing out the £75 fixed penalty notices to anyone seen dropping litter, the wardens handed out over 500 'thank you' cards to people they saw disposing of their rubbish responsibly.
All proceeds from littering fines in the Mansfield district are put directly back into other environmental enforcement or education initiatives.
Coun Danny McCrossan, Portfolio Holder for Public Protection at Mansfield District Council said: "The number of fixed penalties issued compared to the number of 'thank you' cards issued confirms that 90% of the public do respect their environment by binning their litter properly.
"However, there remains a hardcore minority who show no respect for our district or its residents by treating the area like a rubbish dump. It is these individuals who we will continue to target until the message finally get through. If you're caught dropping litter, there are no excuses."
In 2006/07 Mansfield District Council issued 187 fines for littering but the figure for 2007/08 is likely to be at least four times greater. Year end figures will be published in April.

Smartphones, tablets and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) are becoming big topics in the business world, so much so that one enterprise developer reckons that business mobile apps will be the next big thing in 2013.
That same developer, UK-based Mubaloo, held a talk on building business apps recently that included some great advice on what to do when developing and designing these applications. Here's a snapshot of the best tips:
Keep it simple
"Try and achieve a singular objective. Keep it simple and recognize its role in the broader business offering. A good app should be clear about what it's trying to achieve," says Gemma Coles, planning director at Mubaloo.
Don't throw all features into version 1.0
"Start with simplicity and value," adds Coles. "Don't throw every idea into the pot without a budget for future enhancements."
Think as the user
"Offer two-way value translation. Really think what's in it for the user. It sounds straightforward, but businesses are often thinking about what is in it for them and not the end user."
Remember that an app is not a website
"You don't want the same function or content of your website," says Eli Newman, head of design at the developer. "Try and do something different and do it in an engaging way."
Consider how your app will be used
Newman adds: "Also think about what the app is going to be and how it's going be used. For instance, NFC, QR codes or location may be more relevant to a smartphone, but drag and drop, embedded video or anything else that requires a bigger screen may be better for tablets."
Consider the unique aspects of designing for tablets
"Designing for a tablet is a big difference," says the Mubaloo designer. "Consider doing your wireframes (user interface guidelines for the user interface) from scratch."
Must-have app security: Encryption and authentication
Mubaloo's Scott Alexander-Bown, head of Android and security, also spoke at length about app security. He recommends business apps encrypt data on the device and while in transit (so you can still securely accesss the data if need be), have an app validity check and a passcode with a screen timeout.
He also strongly urged business apps to offer two-factor authentication.

Gluten-Free Corned Beef Hash Skillet Is an Easy Meal
Gluten-free corned beef hash is an easy 30 minute meal. The cabbage and other vegetables add variety and nutrition and make a complete meal in a skillet.
I remember having corned beef hash when I was very young, but I didn't know why it was called "corned" until a few years ago. There isn't even any corn in corned beef! The term is from Old English — long ago the term "corn" was used for small grains of anything, such as coarse salt. When the meat was soaked in a solution with grains of salt, they called it corned beef. So today, I may be able to cook up some corned beef and still call it corn-free.
Just a reminder: Most corned beef is gluten-free, but not all is, so be sure to check the label.
This Corned Beef Hash Skillet is an ideal dinner recipe to cook on a busy weeknight that will have your family coming back for more.
- 12 ounces cooked Corned Beef, sliced or shredded -- from the deli (be sure your deli knows how to keep from cross-contaminating your order), canned or home-cooked)
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 cup diced Onion
- 1 cup diced Green Pepper
- 3 cups cooked Potatoes, cubed
- 3 cups cut Cabbage (narrow wedges work best for me)
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
If the potatoes aren't cooked yet, prepare them and cook until just fork tender.
In a skillet with a heavy bottom, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until it's beginning to look transparent, about 5 minutes.
Add the green pepper, potatoes, cabbage and corned beef. Reduce heat to medium.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning now and then, until cabbage is tender and potatoes are golden. Turning works better than stirring, so the potatoes don't get too mashed or the vegetables too mushy.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
This gluten-free corned beef dinner is a dish that didn't have to change at all to convert to gluten-free living. It was already that way.
This is one of my gluten-free recipes that is wheat-free, barley-free and rye-free. It's also casein-free, dairy-free, egg-free, lactose-free and nut-free. It is suitable for a low carb diet (if you avoid the potatoes), a wheat-free diet or a paleo diet, also.

Snapchat: A Race For Retinas, Not Revenue (Update 1)
Updated from 9:19 a.m. to provide more analysis about Instagram in the sixth paragraph and comment from Google.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Facebook
(FB - Get Report) tried to buy Snapchat for $3 billion, and was rebuffed. Apparently, $4 billion from Google
(GOOG) may not be enough, either.
Venture capitalist and noted tech pundit Om Malik tweeted that Google tried to buy Snapchat for $4 billion after word of the Facebook acquisition offer went south, as more people continue to hype up the possibilities of the application, despite the company having no revenue. For now, it's about eyeballs and engagement. Money comes later.
Latest rumor/gossip on @Snapchat. After Facebook offered $3B Google offered $4B but @evanspiegel said no! Nice way to drive up valuation. Om Malik (@om) November 14, 2013
Google declined to comment on the story. Snapchat could not be reached for comment.
Snapchat is growing at an exponential rate, with 350 million users around the world, sending 6 to 10-second clips to their friends and family, in a way that's different from texting, tweeting or posting to Facebook. After the user opens the message, akin to an email, it disappears - something that's very valuable to its users. "I think it'll have a long lasting appeal," says Missy Domenchello, 23, who first started using Snapchat about eleven months ago. "I think it's really private, and that's what's good about it."
This tweet from the Federal Communications Commission says it all about why people are flocking to the service in droves.
"30% of college admissions officers look at applicants online... They loved your GPA, then they saw your tweets..." #CyberSecurityFCC The FCC (@FCC) November 12, 2013Talk that Snapchat is garnering the attention of Silicon Valley giants is not new. Facebook tried to purchase the Evan Spiegel-led company for $1 billion last year, and that fell short as well. The social network then went on to build its own version of Snapchat, Poke, which failed miserably.
There's been a lot of chatter that the valuations we're seeing on these private companies are "bubble-like," something I agree with. I've questioned the valuations we've seen on these companies, particularly Pinterest, which recently raised $225 million, giving the company a $3.8 billion valuation. I believe that of all the Internet companies in the Valley right now, Pinterest is the one most likely to live up to its valuation, given its demographic, usage, and appeal for consumers, but that doesn't mean $3.8 billion isn't a lot of money for a company with no revenue right now. Snapchat's potential business model is harder to see, given the messages disappear after users open them. It's also not an open platform, a la Twitter (TWTR), or Instagram, which sold to Facebook for roughly $730 million. Instagram sold out when it had just over 30 million users, and it now has more than 150 million monthly active users (MAUs), according to the latest statistics released by the company.
That said, Facebook, Google and perhaps others don't care about revenue right now. It's all about eyeballs and engagement, and Snapchat has more of that than perhaps any other messaging platform. Whatsapp, another popular messaging app, has over 350 million monthly active users (MAUs), but for now, Snapchat is the company du jour.
Amanda Spagnuolo, 22, notes she uses it all the time, and she's constantly sending pictures back and forth to her friends, of which she has easily 50 or more using the service. "It's more entertaining to send a message with an image," Spagnuolo said in an interview. "My friends feel the same way."
People are using Snapchat for more than just sending silly photos to friends, and that's part of the reason why Facebook offered $3 billion in cash for the company, and why Google reportedly upped the ante. There are also reports that Tencent approached Snapchat looking to buy the company at a valuation of around $3 to $4 billion.
Messaging platforms, such as Snapchat, Whatsapp, Instagram and others, have changed the way that information is shared. Snapchat has even been mentioned as a possible tool for insider trading, given the nature of the disappearing messages.
For Google, Facebook and other potential bidders, Snapchat and its unique way of allowing people to converse are worth at least $3 billion or $4 billion to them, even if investors and the media start to question valuations.
There's always the fear that Snapchat's explosive momentum will die down, and that Spiegel, who according to The Wall Street Journal, will discuss financing options next year, may look like a fool for not taking the money being thrown at him right now. Given low interest rates, the run up in equity markets and confidence in Silicon Valley, Spiegel may well wind up getting more than the $4 billion Google offered, and perhaps Facebook comes back a third time for the Los Angeles-based Snapchat, with an offer of $5 billion or more.
For now, it's all about eyeballs and engagement, and not revenue. Spiegel's Snapchat has that ad naeuseam.
Because this time, it's different. It always is, right? ;)

The patent, referred to as the '125 patent for the last three numbers of U.S. Patent No. 6,699,125, was granted to two then-Yahoo employees, Brian Gottlieb and Chris Kirmse, on March 2, 2004. As is typical, ownership of inventions by employees remains with the corporation the employees work for. Such ownership rights are usually sealed in hiring contracts signed by employees when they're hired.
"Lawyers familiar with patent law say a case like this could cost up to $2 million to defend and take up to two years to fully adjudicate. "
Unless you have money, any large company can shut you down, fault or no fault.
This should be interesting.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting sick and tired of hearing about huge corporations claiming patent rights on "inventions" that clearly have prior art... they throw in some blue-moon language and call it their own.
"Interchat" was a basic TBBS/TDBS feature that allowed players to, along with the host systems' user log be able to;
1. allow game players (and other users) to see who else was online.
2. to see who wanted to play a particular game.
3. to chat with others while playing games. Many games had "chat rooms" and "private chat" (the forerunner of "instant messenging").
And there were comparable systems for every major (no pun) BBS system and many of the obscure ones.
Most of it survived to the internet, so it can't be the medium... and "a message is a message" so it can't be the content... so what's the patent about?
The abstract from the U.S. Patent says:
I claim a patent on using mixed case text while chatting and I'm sUinG yAhoo!
...then the closing article of the Patent says:
It's nice to claim all future variations of a patent, even when you didn't think of the original idea, and have "nothing new" to patent, (except some hooks to Windows Registry Keys), and a proprietary 2nd rank "messenger program" that is based on 20 year old BBS technology.
This is pretty sad. Xfire allows so many gamers to connect with each other, would hate to see them be taken down because of this.
Most of these agreements have intellectual property clauses.
Citing U.S. Patent #6,699,125, Kirmse, et al, March 2, 2004 Filed for July 2, 2001, and;
U.S. Patent application #20050027382 filed September 18, 2003, (appears to be revision of the "125" patent which omits items #2-7 of the original patent).
Patent #6,699,125 should be invalidated based on prior art and application #20050027382 should be denied based on prior art including:
1. "MUDs" (multi-user doors) for BBS systems where the user engages in a game or other online activity and can "chat" or instantly send messages to another user. Simialr to patent #6,699,125, control of users chatting and playing games (where Yahoo! messenger WINDOW Registry Keys are used to coordinate paly and chat), these games and chat features coordinate through the "userlog" where verified users are granted varying levels of access (ie- may play games, may chat, may "page" others, etc..).
Some examples: CHATJACK.zip - Chat Jack (Blackjack) CHATROU.zip - Chat Roulette CHATCHSD.ZIP - Chat Chess Euchre.zip - Chat Euchre TICTAC.ZIP - Tic Tac Toe tws.zip - The Wild Side! and countless other "chat / games". (source: tbbs.org)
Note: these games were designed originally for serial communication via dial-up or hardwired connection but were ultimately used "on the internet" via TelNet and dedicated serial to TCPIC connections allowing both "dial up" and internet users to utilize the game server and chat server which were both tied to the system's user registration system to authenticate and connect users based on permissions.
2). Worlds.com was granted a US Patent (No. 6219045) entitled 'Scalable virtual world chat client-server system'.... Their parent company, Worlds, Inc. has been in the Web 3D business since 1995 when they developed a virtual worlds program called Worlds Chat. Worlds, Inc. first applied for their world chat patent in 1996. (source: [e3dnews.com...] )
This took me about 15 minutes of research... I'm sure any good lawyer could do better for less than $2million.

The building is kept cool all summer long by the small size of the windows, the exterior's white finish, and large natural cooling vents that draw fresh air in through the roof. The under-floor heating and cooling system moderates temperatures at floor level rather than conditioning the entire lofty space, saving energy and improving comfort.

Bed BugsBed bugs are small wingless insects that feed solely upon the blood of warm-blooded animals. Bed bugs seek out people and animals, generally at night while these hosts are asleep, and painlessly sip a few drops of blood. While feeding, they inject a tiny amount of their saliva into the skin–some people develop a sensitivity to the saliva and additional bites may then result in mild to intense allergic responses. Bed bugs are not known to transmit any diseases to humans.

Bottom of the table Northamptonshire are heading for another defeat in the LV= County Championship after Sussex's Steve Magoffin wrecked their batting with five wickets on the second day of their Division One fixture at Hove.
After Sussex had been bowled out for 405, Magoffin took three wickets in 10 balls as Northamptonshire lost skipper Stephen Peters, James Kettleborough and Matt Spriegel without a run on the board.
From the ruins of 65 for six the visitors recovered slightly but were all out for 116 in just 37.3 overs and followed on 289 runs behind.
Considering what had happened earlier in the day there was every prospect that Sussex could hustle their visitors to a two-day defeat - and although Northamptonshire offered more resolve after tea, they still lost three second-innings wickets.
James Middlebrook mistimed a hook to long leg off, Matt Hobden breached Kettleborough's flimsy defences while Peters was run out by Luke Wright's direct hit from mid-off as they closed on 80 for three, still 209 behind.
Magoffin is now the country's leading wicket-taker with 44 after claiming his third five-wicket haul of the summer.
He began the rout by uprooting Peters' middle and off stumps with his third delivery. Kettleborough edged the fifth ball of the innings to third slip and Spriegel was bowled with the last ball of his second over.
Hobden and Lewis Hatchett provided excellent support and it was a day when every bowling change seemed to work for skipper Ed Joyce.
Rob Newton was leg before to Hobden's first legitimate delivery before Magoffin claimed his fourth wicket courtesy of a stunning catch to his left by wicketkeeper Ben Brown off Kyle Coetzer's inside edge.
Ben Duckett edged the first ball of a new spell by Hatchett to Brown and then Magoffin returned for a third time and with his third ball drew Middlebrook half-forward and ended the opener's 102-minute vigil.
There was no way back for Northamptonshire from 65 for seven but Andrew Hall and Steven Crook did add 21 for the eighth wicket before another bowling change brought immediate reward.
Joyce brought a fielder into a catching position at short midwicket and Hall duly drove Steffan Piolet's second ball straight to him.
David Willey was leg before to a delivery that kept a shade low and Crook, who had made a century at Lord's last week, was last out for 24 when he drove slow left-armer Ashar Zaidi to long on.
Earlier, Sussex's last four wickets had added a further 86 runs with Luke Wright finally dismissed for 158.
He was struck on the forearm by a lifting delivery from Hall and dropped at long leg on 148 by Oliver Stone before holing out to long off, having faced 228 balls and hit 24 fours and a six.
Hall also picked up the wicket of Magoffin to finish with four for 77 while James Tredwell was bowled by a delivery from Crook that kept low and Hobden was caught at mid-on off a leading edge.
Lyth said: "I think we would take 367 for seven every day of the week after being put in to bat on that type of wicket.
"It seamed around a bit and Alex and I batted pretty well but we could have been out early on and we rode our luck a bit early doors and cashed in.
"You have to bowl full and straight on this pitch and I thought Durham bowled better later in the day.
"I seem to be in a good place with my batting at the moment and long may it continue.
"Many captains would have bowled first on that pitch but we were always going to bat and Alex and I got going very well at the top of the order."
Durham's Wood said: "We managed to get more swing later on than previously and once we got one wick et our confidence grew and we were suddenly on a roll.
"We didn't bowl particularly well at the start and we gave them too many fours and lost a bit of momentum.
"We were not sure how the pitch would play but thought 'let's get the best out of it and see what happens'."

Known for its artificial lake, Ramgarh is situated at a distance of approximately 35 km from Jaipur city. The lake covers an area of 15.5 sq. km and had once been a major source of water for Jaipur city. Ramgarh Lake is a manmade water body created by forming an embankment on the forested hills. The place attracts hundreds and thousands of tourists every year. During monsoons, the lake is flooded with water and presents the most alluring scenic beauty for visitors. It is also an interesting place for bird watchers as they get to see flocks of birds including migratory birds around this artificial lake. Ever since Ramgarh was declared a Wildlife Sanctuary by the Government of India in 1982, the place also offers wildlife safaris for the tourists. There are also polo grounds, Jamwa Mata temple, Old Fort, museum and hunting lodge to see at Ramgarh. Amidst the ruins of ancient forts, Ramgarh Lake makes an ideal picnic spot for the visitors.
Ramgarh was once a hunting ground for the Maharajas of Jaipur. Over the years, the place has been turned into a heritage place. The heritage hotel at Ramgarh now stands majestically overlooking the Ramgarh Lake which is spread across an area of 15.5 sq. kms. Until year 2000, the lake had been a major source of water for the Pink City. Ramgarh Lake has a historical record of hosting a rowing event during 1982 Asian Games. The thick forest near Ramgarh Lake is home to many wildlife species such as Neelgai, Chital and lions. Hence, it has been pronounced a Wildlife Sanctuary since 1982, by the Government of India.
The Highlights Of The Place
The artificial Ramgarh Lake, spread across 4km, is the most popular tourist attraction in Ramgarh. The lake offers recreation like boating between the months of October and June.
The Polo ground at Ramgarh is regarded as one of the best Polo grounds in India. It is located between Ramgarh Lake and the Aravalli Hills. Jamwa Mata temple is another major attraction for the tourists in Ramgarh. The temple is situated at a downward course of Ramgarh Lake. It was built by Rao Dulherao of the Kachhwaha clan of Jaipur.
How To Reach
Ramgarh is well connected through road. There are frequent Rajasthan Road Transport Corporation buses plying from Jaipur to Ramgarh. You can even hire taxi or cab service from Jaipur city to Ramgarh. The nearest airport is the Jaipur Sanganer Airport and the nearest railway station is the Jaipur Junction.
The Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Ramgarh is between the cool months of October and March.
Ramgarh Lake, with its scenic beauty, is surrounded by exotic wildlife species, particularly birds, and is also a famous Polo ground. The Jamwa Mata temple and the hunting lodge, all combine to make it an attractive tourist destination in Jaipur. For locals, this lake is a favorite picnic spot. So, Ramgarh sure is a must visit place in Jaipur.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Carol Ann Doda (born August 29, 1937)[1][2] is a former topless stripper in San Francisco, California who was active in the 1960s through 1980s, one of the first of the era.
In 1964 Doda made international news, first by dancing topless at the city's Condor Club, then by enhancing her bust from size 34 to 44 through silicone injections. Her breasts became known as Doda's "twin 44s" and "the new Twin Peaks of San Francisco."[3]
Doda was born in Solano County, California and grew up in San Francisco. Her parents divorced when she was 3. Although private about her personal life, she claims to have dropped out of school, and become a cocktail waitress at age 14.[2]
Doda attended the San Francisco Art Institute and worked as waitress and lounge entertainer[2][4] at the Condor Club, at the corner of Broadway and Columbus in the North Beach section of San Francisco.[5] Doda's act began with a grand piano being lowered from the ceiling by hydraulic motors; Doda would be atop the piano dancing,[6][7] as it descended from a hole in the ceiling.[8] She go-go danced "The Swim" to a rock and roll combo headed by Bobby Freeman as her piano settled on the stage. From the waist up Doda emulated aquatic movements like the Australian crawl. She also performed The Twist, The Frug, and The Watusi.[9]
On June 19, 1964,[8] when Doda was 26 years old, the Condor's publicist, "Big" Davy Rosenberg gave Doda a "monokini" topless swimsuit designed by Rudi Gernreich.[2] She performed topless that night, the first noted entertainer of the era to do so. The act was an instant success.[2] Two months after she started her semi-nude performances, the rest of San Francisco's Broadway was topless, followed soon after by entertainers across America.[4] Doda became an American cultural icon of the 1960s. The Republican National Convention was held in San Francisco, during the summer of 1964; many of the delegates came to see Carol Doda. She was profiled in Tom Wolfe's 1968 book The Pump House Gang and appeared that same year as Sally Silicone in Head, the 1968 film created by Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson, and featuring The Monkees. The movie was produced by Columbia Pictures.[10] She appeared in a Golden Boy parody with Annette Funicello, Sonny Liston, and Davy Jones.[11]
Encouraged by her success, Doda soon decided to enhance her breasts with silicone injections, going from size 34 to 44. Doda became renowned for her big bust, and was one of the first well-known performers to be surgically enhanced. She had 44 injections, a large dose of silicone,[4] at a cost of $1,500.
For the topless and waterless Swim, Doda wore the bottom half of a black bikini and a net top which ended where a bathing suit generally began.[5] She performed 12 shows nightly so the management could keep crowds moving in and out. A large illuminated sign in front of the club featured a cartoon of her with red flashing lights representing her nipples.
Nicaraguan dictator General Anastasio Somoza Debayle paid an unexpected visit to the Condor Nightclub in November 1973, when seven limousines pulled up before startled parking attendants. About two dozen U.S Secret Service agents accompanied General Somoza's party of nine and guarded each door. Somoza sent a word to Doda backstage as he departed that he considered her performance "most outstanding".[citation needed]
On September 3, 1969, Carol Doda began dancing bottomless (i.e., totally nude) at the Condor.[12] She danced bottomless until the California alcoholic beverages commission passed a rule in the autumn of 1972 prohibiting nude dancing in places that served alcohol.
On April 22, 1965 Doda was arrested with Gino del Prete, owner of the Condor Club. They were cleared when two judges instructed innocent verdicts. Judge Friedman's memorandum to opposing attorneys read Whether acts ... are lewd and dissolute depends not on any individual's interpretation or personal opinion, but on the consensus of the entire community ... del Prete and Doda were arrested during police raids to stop bare-bosom shows in North Beach.[13] Peter Mattioli owned the Condor Club by 1967 and Doda still appeared in shows there.[14]
Doda was a witness during the trial of two all-nude dancers who were arrested for "indecent exposure and lewd and dissolute conduct", in 1969. The defendants were dancers at the Pink Pussy Kat in Orangevale, California. Presiding Municipal Court Judge Earl Warren, Jr. moved the trial, temporarily, from the courtroom to Chuck Landis Largo club. There Doda performed to live song and dance numbers, along with a movie titled Guru You. She was cross-examined by a deputy district attorney about what she hoped to convey to audiences in her act. Doda was dressed in a red miniskirt with dark blue piping and beige boots. She responded that the movie represents "a satire of pornography ... it's to show people the humorous side of sex". Several members of the 10-man, 2-woman jury kept in check their smiles as Doda explained the 17-minute movie. The deputy district attorney opposed asking her to perform, considering it irrelevant to the case. He was overruled by Warren.[15]
From the late-1960s through the late-1970s, Doda was the spokesmodel for what is now the San Jose, California television station KICU-TV Channel 36, then known as KGSC-TV. Filmed from the waist up and wearing clothes which amplified her most prominent physical attributes, she would coo "You're watching the Perfect 36 in San Jose." She would also occasionally appear on-air to do editorial commentary on the issues of the day.[16]
In 1982 Doda was again dancing at the Condor three times a night. She was 45 and performed to rock 'n' roll, blues, and ragtime. Each act was the same, with Doda appearing in a gold gown, traditional elbow-length gloves, and a diaphanous-wraparound. Her clothing was removed until she wore only a g-string and the diaphanous wraparound. In the final portion she was attired in only the wraparound. Her small body looked slimmer without clothes, a perception which was emphasized by the dwarfing effect of her breasts. At the time she was taking dance and voice lessons but had no definite plans for her future.[4]
For a few years in the early 80's Carol performed throughout Bay Area dance night clubs with her band "The Lucky Stiffs". Pop rock Star Greg Kihn was responsible for organizing her band for her and assisted her in her bookings. During one of her engagements at "The Odyssey Room" in Sunnyvale she was escorted by Gary Schmidt the club owner to a special VIP party held by Steve Wozniak of Apple Computer fame as the guest of honor but did not perform there. A Fashion show featuring her line of lingerie usually accompanied her music performances.
Doda retired from stripping in the 1980s and now runs "Carol Doda's Champagne and Lace Lingerie Boutique", a lingerie shop in San Francisco.[17]
As of 2009 Doda had been performing (fully clothed) for several years at several North Beach (San Francisco) clubs, including Amante's and Enrico's Supper Club.[2]

Just as management knowledge is supported by various theories, the leadership function of management too is authenticated by various theories. While the behavioural theories of leadership focused on discovering the constant relationship between leadership behaviours and the group performance, the contemporary theories emphasized the significance of situational factors (such as stress level, job structure, leaders intelligence, followers traits, etc.) as well.
