Betaspring is a mentorship-driven startup accelerator program for technology and design entrepreneurs who are ready to launch a company and change the world.
If you find yourself walking by the newstand this week, pick up a copy of the March 2015 issue of Inc. Magazine. Casually flip to page 26 and you'll find us in "The Field Guide to Accelerators." We were psyched to be one of the only eight accelerators Inc. featured in this cool spread. We were honored to be included alongside some of our favorite platforms!
Congrats to alum Splitwise on closing a $1.4M seed round! Splitwise was founded in 2011 by Jonathan Bittner, Ryan Laughlin, and Marshall Weir to make it easy to deal with shared expenses with friends and family.
Participating investors include Andrew Chen, Cyan and Scott Banister, Great Oaks Venture Capital, IDG Ventures USA, Rocketship.vc, Silicon Valley Bank, and others. The funding will be used to expand the software engineering team and accelerate the growth of the company's financial management platform. Splitwise has raised $2MM to date.
"Our vision is to remove the stress and awkwardness money places on our interpersonal relationships, " said Splitwise CEO Jonathan Bittner. "No one likes talking about money with friends or family. We're excited to have a great team of investors to help us accelerate growth, and proud to be building our team in the Providence tech ecosystem...
"Imagine a world where lamp posts double as 911 operators and solar-powered trash cans compact waste on city streets. Where public park benches serve as phone-charging stations and robots go to school on behalf of ailing children. It's an urban prophecy that could be here sooner than you think."
Those were the opening words in Geoff Weiss' recent piece in Entrepreneur Magazine on five breakthroughs being championed by the Verizon Innovation Program. Among the featured companies is Betaspring alum HealthID Profile.
The HealthID Band utilize NFC (near-field communication) technology to transmit detailed information about a patient's medical condition in the event of an emergency. Medical conditions, allergies, and medications are all accessible with the tap of a smartphone, streamlining resources for first responders and potentially saving lives. Check out Geoff's full story here.
2014 is the year when mobile takes over the internet. Industry projections for both the number of users and overall web users show that smartphones have overtaken the desktop for good. Social network usage and engagement is mobile-dominant; Facebook alone sees 68% of its usage via mobile devices!
Yet many startups still launch their products for desktop users first, leaving mobile as a product add-on to be developed later. Startups make this choice because the desktop is more mature and has widely-known development tools and third-party services which accelerate early product development. Often, a startup will choose the desktop-first path because they haven't deeply explored their customer's needs and behaviors. Often, this is costly mistake, that not only adds unnecessary development and maintenance costs, but causes a startup to miss their initial market altogether.
We are looking for a high energy project manager who knows how to get a lot of things done (and done well). This position is public facing with opportunities to interact with startups, investors, mentors, corporate partners, students and other folks who orbit around entrepreneurial communities. From events to keeping our coworking community humming, our projects range from quick and easy to big opportunities that take time--and creativity--to build out.
Requirements: Passionate and knowledgeable about the regional and national startup scene and interested in learning more. Strong organizational and communication skills essential. A process-oriented and tools-savvy approach to problem solving, and the ability to work both solo and as a team, is a must. Some evenings and weekends required. 3-5 years experience in a relevant role expected.
Interested? Send resume, cover letter, and...
After accelerating 90 companies, we have seen just about everything, from unexpected victories to painful losses, magnificent pivots to total strikeouts. Consumer behaviors and market trends change like the wind. The qualities and benchmarks investors look for before writing a check are always shifting. Meanwhile, startup knowledge and tools keep getting better and more accessible.
Despite all this flux, here's one thing that hasn't changed: Building a startup is a grind. Sure, one in a thousand ventures gets discovered its infancy and bought for a zillion bucks. But the rest slog it out for months, often years, before anything resembling a big payoff happens. And the stuff between starting and winning can be pretty grueling.
I was recently asked by Verizon to help put toegther a series of blogs for early stage founders. We asked some of our mentors and friends to...
Betaspring is excited to be among those speaking, mentoring and judging at this year's TechCocktail Celebrate conference in Downtown Vegas on October 6-7. This two-day conference brings together industry leaders, entrepreneurs, startup founders, creative technologists, designers, investors, community builders, and media to learn, inspire and be inspired, collaborate, and grow - and celebrate together.
The payoff for attendees? To learn and collaborate with others who are turning their communities into startup cities, and building ideas into successful companies. Betaspring will be represented by Melissa Withers and Allan Tear, who will be talking about building startup communities, as well as mentoring startups and sharing a little bit of what they've learned after accelerating 90 companies.
The line-up looks boss, with folks like Tony Hsieh (Zappos), David Cohen (TechStars), Akhil...
This spring, Betaspring reached an important milestone with the completion of our third fund, bringing our tally to 90 companies accelerated since 2009. This fall offers us an ideal time to take stock of what we've learned, and support our most promising alumni companies as they tackle the "make or break" moments that define startup success.
How did five years go by so fast? Flashback to the summer of 2009. Betaspring set out to test a new model for helping startups go farther faster. The model was the "startup accelerator," and in 2009, virtually no one had heard of it.
The birth of startup accelerators was driven by a fundamental shift in how new companies were launched. Before the Web reached global critical mass, technology and access to customers were HUGE barriers to launching a new venture, making new company creation prohibitively expensive. Around 2005, those...
One of the best things about operating a startup accelerator is tracking our alumni. This month, we crossed the $40M in follow-on funding milestone! But beyond fundraising, it's a true pleasure to see our alumni succeed, both in big and small ways. From growing their teams to reaching new sales and user acquisition goals, very few things are sweeter than startups success.
Earlier this summer, Sproutel, launched an Indiegogo campaign to bring their next run of Jerry the Bear robots to as many kids with Type 1 diabetes as possible.

Considering an accelerator for your startup? NuLabel CEO—and Betaspring alum—Max Winograd's most recent column in Inc Magazine tried to simplify the question with a set questions that every founder should ask herself before joining an accelerator.
"An invitation to a startup accelerator presents several positive opportunities for young companies and particularly young entrepreneurs: a stamp of credibility; access to a plugged-in network of mentors and eager angel investors; seed capital; intense strategic, team, and product development support; and colocation alongside dozens of similar-stage businesses experiencing the same highs and lows that come with a newborn startup baby."
But before you jump in, founders should ask themselves some important questions. Sure, you need to weigh the value your company will get in exchange for the equity. But, questions should go deeper than that....

Kayte Lauren Christensen (born November 16, 1980 in Lakeview, Oregon) is an American color commentator and former professional basketball player who has competed internationally and for the Phoenix Mercury, Houston Comets and Chicago Sky in the WNBA.
Christensen has served as a color commentator for ESPNU and was alongside play-by-play announcer Doug Sherman on the call of the 2011 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Championship game.
Kayte Lauren Christensen was born in Lakeview, Oregon to Randy and Cathy Christensen. She grew up on her family's ranch in the Modoc County ranching community of Likely, California, with two sisters and a younger brother.
High school and college[edit]
Christensen attended South Fork Elementary School, then Modoc High School in Alturas, California and graduated in 1998. She started playing basketball in sixth grade and it wasn't until her junior season in high school that she realized she had potential to have basketball pay for her college education. Christensen averaged 17.4 points per game and 9.8 rebounds per game as a senior. She was named the California Division V Player of the Year in 1998 as well as the Shasta Cascade League MVP in her sophomore, junior and senior seasons.
As a junior, Christensen scored 17.4 points per game and grabbed 11.1 rebounds per game. Her 470 points scored as a junior and 1,557 points in her career are both Modoc High School records. She blocked 80 shots as a junior and 59 as a senior. During her junior year, Christensen and her Modoc teammates were the Division V state runners-up. The next year, they won the California Interscholastic Federation state Division V championship.
In her spare time, Christensen tutored younger girls at basketball. She also competed in Volleyball and Track.[1]
Christensen later attended college at UC Santa Barbara as a classmate of fellow WNBA player Lindsay Taylor. She is Santa Barbara's all-time career field goal percentage leader. She also ranks among the top ten in rebounds and blocked shots.
Christensen's first season playing at UCSB was (1998–1999). She scored in double figures nine times during her first season, including twice scoring a career-high 18 points. She finished her first season averaging 8.0 points and 5.6 rebounds a game in 16.9 minutes of play. Christensen was named to the Big West's All-Freshman team and finished 12th (out of 15)in the Big West with 0.6 blocks per game. She capped her final season as the Big West Player of the Year.
Her second season was from (1999–2000). Christensen played in 18 games before breaking her wrist on January 25, 2000 forcing her to miss the remainder of the season.
Her final season was (2001–2002) and is considered her finest season as a Gaucho, earning All-Big West First Team honors. In league games, Christensen improved dramatically and averaged 15.6 points per game and also topped the team in rebounds at 7.6 per game. She was twice named the conference Player of the Week, on February 5, 2002 and March 5, 2002.
Christensen was selected by Phoenix Mercury in the third round (40th overall) of the 2002 WNBA Draft. In her first four seasons in the WNBA, Christensen averaged 3.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.75 steals per game. During her rookie year in Phoenix, she shot .505 from the field, second among all WNBA rookies. Her 2.7 rebounding average was sixth among rookies. She averaged 4.0 points and 0.8 assists in 30 games. [1] [2]
Her bio on the Mercury website describes Christensen as aggressive and describes typical play for her as "diving for loose balls and generally sacrificing her body for the good of the team." [3]
She signed with the Houston Comets for her third WNBA season on March 24, 2006, but was waived on May 19, 2006 when she failed to make the regular-season roster. She rejoined the Mercury later one month later on June 15. She played in six games, averaging 3.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game.[2]
After the 2006 season ended, Christensen became a free agent until March 2007, when she signed a contract with the Chicago Sky. She played in 23 games and scored 48 points for the Sky during the 2007 season. She was released from the Chicago Sky after missing the 2008 season opener due to a recurring back injury.
Christensen has twice been the recipient of the WNBA Offseason Community Assist Award, first in 2003 and second in 2004.
Courtside Reporter[edit]
Kayte served as a courtside reporter for the NBA's Sacramento Kings during Comcast SportsNet broadcasts at Sleep Train Arena. In May 2010, she was replaced by Jim Gray. She has returned to her courtside role for the Kings' 2013-14 season.[4] She's also has been a social media reporter for the Phoenix Suns, as well as a men and women's college basketball color commentator for ABC/ESPN.
Was inducted into the Action Video Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2012.

Victoria Justice is one brave and angry young woman. Two days after a massive photo hacking scandal broke, the victimized star seems to now be admitting that some of the pics of her are real and she's going to take legal action.
Victoria Justice, 21, is now acknowledging that she was one of the 101 female celebrities victimized by hackers who published private nude photos of the stars. Now, she's courageously taken to TwitLonger, unleashing her justifiable anger at the creeps who have exposed so many celebrities to the world.
Victoria Justice Naked Pics
The multi-talented singer and actress took to TwitLonger to voice her anger about being involved in the nude photo scandal on Sept. 2. "Shortly after I tweeted about certain pics of me being fake, I was faced with a serious violation of privacy. There have always been fake photos of me on the internet, but I will not be put in the position to defend myself as to what is real or what is fake."
She continued,"I am angry at this massive invasion of privacy, and like the other women who are in this situation alongside of me, I am taking legal action to protect my rights."
Victoria took to her Twitter to address her fans right away when the scandal broke on Aug. 31, and put the rumors to rest that the pictures that were leaked of her were in fact fake.
These so called nudes of me are FAKE people. Let me nip this in the bud right now. *pun intended*
— Victoria Justice (@VictoriaJustice) August 31, 2014
While she is taking legal action, she is still standing by her claim that the photos are not real. Victoria is not the only celebrity who is seeking action, as HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Oscar Winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence, 24, is fighting back as well.
Victoria Justice & Jennifer Lawrence Respond To Nude Photo Scandal
A source told HollywoodLife.com exclusively how the former Victorious star is handling the scandal "She is completely flipping out."
Victoria Justice Nude Photo Scandal: 'Flipping Out' About Hacking
No matter if these photos are real or fake, the whole ordeal must be a complete nightmare, and we don't blame her for being worried!
Jennifer is in the same boat, and is also worried about the scandal. "Jen is horrified over this leak and knows that this will possibly affect her upcoming roles," a source revealed to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "She knows that A list stars don't have this type of controversy attached to them and is very much horrified over the whole situation."
Our sympathies go out to all of the celebrities who have been affected by this breach of privacy, stay strong!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Victoria should take legal action? Let us know your thoughts below!

I knew it was her!
She couldn't deny it.
Nobody was gonna spend all that time photo shopping Victoria Justice.
Good she finally admitted it was her. Now she can move on and start to put this all behind her.
I wonder when Ariana Grande is gonna fess up?
Unless she has an identical twin sister running around, it's her!
She does have a cute butt and it was all out there for everyone to see.
She needs to admit she got hacked like the others, so when they catch this guy he won't get away with what he did to her.

She shouldn't have to own up or defend anything. Even if they were her thats not the point. She's the victim here and the one that was wronged. She has a right to deny this esepcially when she was the wronged party here.
You sound just like one of those people who excuse rapists "oh they were asking for it." screw you you piece of trash.
Posted at 3:57 PM on September 3, 2014
Lol hahaha omg Jammy, how dumb are you???
Your comparison is sooooo dumb, it's obvious that you've got the IQ of a rock.
Denying it is dumb, I stated clearly how it's not the girls' faults. How am I taking the sides of rapists here? What a stupid thing to say, really, you're a moron.
It's her and she's a victim, she shouldn't insult peoples intelligence by making jokes and denying.
But you wouldn't understand that, since "intelligence" is something alien to you :")
Screw you, dumb piece of garbage :') get back to school and take some valium

Posted at 7:52 PM on September 3, 2014
No Eviii YOU are the idiot here. She didn't deny it. The first photos that came about WERE fake. That goes without saying. She even retweeted the photos that proved that the FIRST set was fake. We are talking about the FIRST set.
The SECOND set however she did not deny they were her and said "I had a breach in privacy" that is when the second set came around.
So no she didn't deny it. And she shouldn't have to Deny or defend herself in this position especially when she did nothing wrong.
So Screw you rape supporting moron. Go kill yourself. ;)
Don't put your hands on me!

Kids And Pet Turtles Don't Mix
The appeal of those little pet turtles escaped us, even before we first heard about their role as carriers of disease. Give us a dirty rat any day.
Now our low opinion is bolstered by an in-depth report on a 34-state outbreak of salmonella infections linked to those slimy little reptiles back in 2007 and 2008. Researchers talked with 78 patients or their parents to find out more about the role of turtles in the spread of the dangerous infections. Not a pretty picture.
Most of the folks who got sick—60 percent—were around turtles the week before they fell ill. Sixteen, or 34 percent, said the turtles came from a pet store.
The original investigation got rolling when two girls got sick after swimming with pet turtles in a backyard pool. Nobody died but 107 people's salmonella illnesses were traced to turtles. Many of the kids ended up in the hospital. The latest report appears in the journal Pediatrics.
That sort of thing isn't supposed to happen. Since 1975, the Food and Drug Administration has banned sales of turtles whose shells are less than four inches long to combat salmonella. But many pet stores continue to sell them.
By some estimates 6 percent of salmonella infections result from contact with reptiles, including turtles, and 11 percent for folks younger than 21, even after the ban.
The authors of the Pediatrics paper conclude tougher enforcement of sales bans are needed and say recent improvement on that front is encouraging.

Carla Esparza has long been considered one of the top 115-pounders on the planet, but you don't earn a UFC title based on reputation.
Less than a week after it was announced that Josh Thomson would not fight at this month's UFC Fight Night 62 event, his intended opponent wants to know why he's well enough to train but not healthy enough to fight.
The UFC's first event in Philippines continues to take shape with the addition of middleweights Gegard Mousasi vs. Costas Philippou and welterweights Hyun Gyu Lim vs. Neil Magny.
A stacked UFC 187 lineup continues to fill with quality matchups, as UFC officials today announced the addition of Josh Burkman vs. Dong Hyun Kim to the card.
The head of an influential regulatory body is endorsing the UFC's plan to bulk up its anti-doping efforts, and his colleague is calling on member commissions to honor the results of drug tests funded by the promotion.
"King Mo" Lawal says Triumph United's president is lucky that Kimbo Slice was there to hold him back from pulling a Josh Neer.
Miesha Tate said she's not filled with jealousy, but rather inspiration when Ronda Rousey flips the sport on its head with her spectacular performances.

Type of Surgery
Last updated: 02/17/2009
Approximately half of all patients who have received vagal nerve stimulation experience about a 50% reduction in seizures. Another 9% of patients obtain complete relief from seizures. Most patients who continue to take antiseizure medications can reduce...
their dosage, however, which offers some relief from the side effects of these drugs.
Other Information
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for certain types of intractable epilepsy and major depression. VNS uses an implanted stimulator that sends electric impulses to the left vagus nerve in the neck via a lead wire implanted under the skin.
Vagus, the tenth cranial nerve arises from the medulla and carries both afferent and efferent fibers. The afferent vagal fibers connect to the nucleus of the solitary tract which in turn projects connections to other locations in the central nervous system. Little is understood about exactly how vagal nerve stimulation modulates mood and seizure control but proposed mechanisms include alteration of norepinephrine release by projections of solitary tract to the locus coeruleus, elevated levels of inhibitory GABA related to vagal stimulation and inhibition of aberrant cortical activity by reticular system activation
Other Information
Surgery for removal is generally advised for patients with limited cancer elsewhere in the body and a single brain metastasis.

Thanks :). -Jeff
and the IAB study itself: [iab.net...]
You have to pay to get the report, but the percentages are listed in the first article, 18% vs 4.5% for organic.
1. Paid listings provide better CTRs for products and services than corresponding free listings in the same rank.
2. Conversions to sales is higher with PPC than organic.
For an online ad, CTR is the % of people who click on your advertisement out of all visitors to a given website (right?).
However, when referring to a search engine it is the % of users who click on your site out of all those who search for a given keyword?
I apologize if this is too much of a beginners' question. -j

A while back, a sitter of mine texted me an adorable picture of my son while I was out at a meeting, which I greatly appreciated. I noticed the picture was posted from Instagram and I wasn't sure how I felt about that. I post pictures of my kids on Facebook all the time, but knowing someone else can easily share my children with the social media world, especially without my permission, is a bit unsettling. Who are the sitter's followers? Is she giving out his personal information, such as his name and age? Who thought along with bedtime instructions, I would have to mention refraining from posting pictures on social media.
Recently a girlfriend of mine reached out to me because something similar happened to her, and she wasn't sure how to handle it. We talked about how it is very necessary to bring up the topic of taking and posting pictures with those who are watching our precious children. To them, especially if they were born in the 90′s, cell phones and social media are a huge part of their life. To us, the parents, this technology is something we did not grow up with and survived without. I told my girlfriend that if this topic was something of concern to her, especially if there was already an incident, she needs to let her sitter know how she feels right away.
I would think that caretakers would know to ask a parent's permission before posting a picture of a child they are watching, but it often doesn't come up until it's too late. I did actually have one babysitter who asked me if it was okay, which was very impressive, although not surprising, since she is so responsible and always thinks ahead. Unfortunately, not all sitters think this way. These are the times we are living in and social media can be a scary place when it comes to our children. I posted a picture of my boys on their first day of school and it ended up getting re-posted by a total stranger living in India with the caption, "Oh how I miss school". I was puzzled, upset and frightened to learn this. It was eventually taken down from her account but it makes me wonder how strangers have access to something so personal and if it's so personal, why do we feel it's acceptable to share it with our "friends" on the internet?
Here are some tips to start the conversation with your child's caretaker:
We cannot assume that all babysitters understand the dangers of social media. Parents, we need to bring up this subject matter during our interviewing and hiring process. We need to keep up with the times and also have a conversation with our current sitters who we have known and trusted for years.
At the end of the day, we want our children to be safe and there are times we can't always be there to ensure that happens. The technology available to us today is pretty amazing but it also has its' dangers. Communication is key, and when it comes to someone else watching your child, it's important to share your feelings about a particular topic that may be causing you stress and concern. Remember that this is your child which means your rules.

Thanks for reading Marcia. You make a great point! Adults are doing it too.
Great info. I just had this discussion with friends about photos being taken at birthday parties, school events, etc. It's not just sitters posting pictures of your kids, I wish adults would think twice before posting. As you pointed out, you have no idea where these photos will end up.

Homebuilders' Valuations Are Extremely Speculative
Chart Courtesy of NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index
It seems to me that record low inventories of new homes is discouraging prospective new home buyers from becoming actual new home buyers. The NAHB indicated that in some markets there is a lack of building lots and the cost of building materials is on the rise.
The bottom line is that the market for new homes is less depressed that it had been for the prior five months. The graph above shows that builder sentiment is leading new single-family starts.
Housing Starts Rose 2.3% in August: Strength in single-family starts boosted the overall number. Single-family starts rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 750,000 units. The important single-family sector saw new construction up 5.5% with a gain of 535,000 units. The NAHB reacted to this improving trend with the note that "there is still plenty of room for improvement." New Home Sales for August: These came in at an annual rate of 373,000 units, which was below analysts' estimates. The inventory of new homes remains near a record low at 141,000 units. The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices: I focus on the 20-City Composite and this index was up 1.6% in July versus June 2012, up 1.2% year over year and up 7.8% since the recent low. Home prices are still down 30% from the June / July 2006 housing market bubble peak.Chart Courtesy of S&P Dow Jones Indices and Fiserv Here I profile nine of the stocks in the PHLX Housing Market Index. Despite this positive data for the homebuilders I continue to be cautious about the sustainability of the powerful rally in this industry.
Chart Courtesy of Thomson/Reuters The weekly chart for PHLX Housing Sector Index (157.44) shown above shows extremely overbought momentum with the index well above its five-week modified moving average at 151.97. The multi-year high was set on Sept. 21 at 168.79. This high was well above 145.52, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement of the entire down trend from the July 2005 high to the March 2009 low. This level now becomes support on the downside. The 50% retracement at 173.81 is resistance to the upside. My quarterly and annual value levels are 135.17 and 122.53 with a monthly pivot at 158.52, which was tested on Wednesday's downside.

Lawmakers now have the proposed budget from the conference committee and a day to think about it before voting tomorrow. Statehouse correspondent Karen Kasler reports that Gov. John Kasich is weighing in on the document he'll eventually have to sign.
Gov. Kasich had proposed an expansion of the state sales tax to fund income tax cuts for all Ohioans and for small businesses, along with Medicaid expansion and a tax on big oil and natural gas drillers. Kasich says he's not done with those last two items.
Kasich: "Let me just be clear...this is not over. The severance tax fight is not over. The Medicaid expansion fight is not over or, you know. We're going to stay on this thing till we get it."
Overall, Kasich says he's pleased with the budget, but won't tip his hand to what he might veto out, including the abortion issues. All he'll say on that is that he calls himself pro-life but that he'll look at all the language.

The Best Way to Make Internet Radio Stronger
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Spotted at Readwrite: The suggestion that Spotify and Rdio merge.
While I agree with the author -- Spotify is an unintuitive mess and Rdio provides a clean, hassle-free platform -- he, like many others, fails to draw the distinction between different types of Internet radio. You can't just take what you perceive as the best of Spotify and the best of Rdio and meld it together to create the ultimate service.
There's pure-play Internet radio -- in the redefined, yet traditional sense of the word. That pretty much begins and ends with Pandora (P - Get Report). Arguably the most misunderstood popular technology company ever.
There's relatively straightforward on-demand. You know exactly what you want to listen to. And in what form. You search for something specific and crank it. By far, Rdio represents best of breed in this category.
Then there's the poorly defined, hybrid-type services that achieve varying degrees of success such as Spotify. Frankly, I'm not sure Spotify knows what it wants to be. It doesn't have the focus of Pandora. And that's OK. There's room for Internet radio players along this continuum. I use them all, plus the stuff that fits somewhere between on the spectrum -- Google's (GOOG) YouTube, Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) iTunes, Vevo and others. We shouldn't approach the question of Internet radio from the standpoint of how do we create the ultimate service? That makes no sense. Who listens to only one traditional radio station? Who watches just one television channel? Who uses one app per sector? We require the great diversity of experience that everybody from Pandora to Rdio to Spotify to YouTube and Vevo provide. Without this diversity, much of what's great about Internet radio dies. Sirius XM (SIRI - Get Report) already crushed the promise of satellite radio. It could have been great; however it became little more than a vanilla offering that caters to the same people who supported AM radio on its deathbed.
That said, the Internet radio space absolutely requires consolidation. It might even need a Google or Apple to come in and make a big acquisition. Or three. That's the key for me. Maintaining the breadth of experiences -- a large number of eclectic platforms -- but creating a more powerful Internet radio bloc to, once and for all, put the unfortunate "enemy" (that collective known as "the record labels") in its place.

There is something about wreaths that makes my heart go all warm and fuzzy. A house with a big, leafy wreath on the front door exudes hospitality and welcomes you in. I always imagine big feast preparations in process behind that front door. I am extremely proud to say that this year my front door looks like one of those. Yah!
Believe it or not, but wreaths are a lot easier to make than you might think. The most important thing is finding some lush greens you can use (you can never have too much). I have two super overachieving rosemary plants in my garden, so I immediately decided they will become my wreath.
What you will need
- Rosemary
- A wire frame
- Rubber elastic bands
- Green wire
- A wire cutter
Step 1
Take about 3 rosemary sprigs and tie them together at the bottom using the elastic rubber band. You'll need quite a few of these bundles, I used about 10 + for my wreath. -
Step 2
Using the wire, fasten the bottom part of your bundle to the loop. Your next bundle should then cover the previous bundle's wire and elastic with its top. -
Step 3
Keep doing this until your frame is completely covered.

IBF Middleweight Champion Sebastian Sylvester (34-3-1, 16 KOs) made a successful defence of his title on Saturday night when he outclassed Mahir Oral (28-3-2, 11 KOs) in front of 4,600 fans in Rostock. The Hurricane knocked his opponent down three times to clinch a unanimous points victory, with the judges scoring the bout 119-106, 117-107 and 117-107. I am pleased with my performance, Sylvester said. I knew I had to catch him to the body. Our game plan worked very well.. The first four rounds were rather open, despite Sylvester suffering a deep cut above his right eye following an accidental clash of heads. The turning point came in the fourth round when he wobbled Oral with big shots to the head and then followed it up with impressive series of punches for almost two minutes. However, Oral nicknamed the Lion refused to go down and somehow survived. I have never seen Sebastian firing so many explosive shots, promoter Kalle Sauerland lauded. His punching frequency was very impressive. I think overall the performance today was his best ever. Sylvester remained in full control in the following and eventually knocked Oral down in the eighth and ninth with heavy body shots just like in the eleventh round. But Oral got back up and survived until the end. His body shots really killed me, he said afterwards. I am very tall for a middleweight so I am quite open to body shots. He fought very well and deserved to win. I am obviously very, very disappointed. Said Chris Meyer, General Manager of Team Sauerland: Sebastian really put on a fantastic performance today. He was in full control throughout and fought very cleverly. But I take my hat off to Mahir who showed his lion heart today. On the undercard, WBA, WBC & WBO female welterweight champion Cecilia Braekhus clinched her 15th win in as many fights, destroying Mikaela Lauren BoxRec´s number two ranked fighter (6-1, 1 KO) in seven one-sided rounds. The First Lady displayed her superior boxing skills from the first bell, constantly hitting her Swedish opponent with her jab, her strong right and body shots. In the seventh, two right uppercuts followed by a left sent Lauren down. She scrambled back to her feet but the referee called the bout off. This was a great win for me, Braekhus said. I want to keep improving, keep winning titles and defend my collection against the best fighters out there. Heavyweight hopeful Kubrat Pulev (9-0, 5 KOs) also clinched an impressive point victory over Dominick Guinn (33-7-1, 22 KOs), leaving the experienced American no chance during eight rounds.

But some say government has failed to address the issue of sustainability
The State Budget has received a mixed response from the information technology industry. While beneficiaries of entrepreneurship development projects and start-ups were all praise for the Budget, existing players in the industry said they were overlooked.
K.C. Chandrasekharan Nair, managing director of Technopark TBI and chief operating officer of Kerala State Technology Innovation Zone proposed on the Kinfra Hi-Tech Park at Kalamassery, was elated at the allocation of Rs. 25 crore for the project. "We had submitted a proposal for setting up a building with equal funding by the Central and State governments. Our proposal had been approved by the Planning Commission, which recommended that the Central government allocate Rs. 75 crore as required," Mr. Nair told The Hindu.
The budgetary allocation of Rs. 25 crore is being seen as the State government's contribution towards its share of Rs. 75 crore with the remaining fund being expected in due course.
Mr. Nair also said the budget maintained continuity from last year's with allocations for student exchange programmes and college incubation centres. "This is a budget that has got its focus right by promoting start-ups and entrepreneurship, especially incentives to women entrepreneurs," he said.
Sanjay Vijayakumar, Chairman of the Board of Governors of Startup Village, said the budget displayed a method in the way long-term- and short-term plans had been charted out and funds allocated for various programmes. An encouraging environment for future entrepreneurs had been put in place, from schools to engineering colleges to Silicon Valley.
"The budget proposes a great ecosystem for product-based start-ups unlike the service industry-oriented ecosystem prevalent across the country. That coupled with a landing pad for young entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley will attract start-ups from across the country to the State. With investment in local talent, unlike IT power houses in neighbouring States, and laying strong grassroot-level supporting infrastructure, Kerala should turn into a hub for IT products in another three years," Mr. Vijayakumar said.
He said the proposal to distribute Raspberry Pi, a single board computer, to school students would sow the seeds for future billion-dollar companies from the State. The distribution of start-up kits to college students would make possible creation of iPhone and iPad-based applications by local talents who were restricted to Android platforms because of affordability, Mr. Vijayakumar said.
Joseph C. Mathew, IT adviser to the Chief Minister during the LDF regime, was scathing in his criticism of the Budget, which he said had not proposed a single major project for the IT sector.
"There is a going back from the purported vision statement of the previous budget. Entrepreneurship development has been outsourced to certain groups creating a monopoly. What's the point in giving Raspberry Pi computers to school children which would have been meaningful in the hands of engineers? It's a single vendor-driven project even when there were many alternatives," he said.
The Budget declarations on e-district betray lack of knowledge about the project. "The government has failed to introduce even the 70-odd services readied for deployment for the e-district platform during the term of the previous government," Mr. Mathew said.
Anoop P. Ambika, secretary of Group of Technology Companies, said while the government was bent on creating new companies, the issue of sustainability had gone unaddressed. "There are about 400 locally developed companies in the State, majority of which are still struggling. The Budget has turned a blind eye to their needs. Entrepreneurship should be developed but there should be a strict screening process based on the creative quotient and entrepreneurial appetite," he said.

Trailer Brakes...
I have heard 2 different things about old trailer brakes. I'm not talking surge brakes but electric ones. I have heard that there was a type of electric that simply wired into your brake lights and used no controller. I have never seen one like this. All that I have seen had to wired to a controller because if you hooked it to your brakes it would go to FULL LOCK every time you hit the brakes. Anyone know anything about this so called old style?

I guess it would be like surge brakes...duno.
But these look like they need a controler. They have a maget the sticks to the drum and that applies the brakes. So off to the store for a controller I go. |

Building New Companionway Hatch - Columbia 29
The companionway hatch on my newly purchased 1963 Columbia 29 has seen better days, much better days. I am trying to plan a new one, but I have some question about the layup/construction I am hoping someone with more experience can address.
I have several somewhat rotten pieces of mahogany that I plan to use as guides for the radius of the hatch. My plan is the bend two thin sheets of marine ply over these frames and glue them together with a piece of chopped strand mat in order to induce the proper curve. Then glass the entire thing with ??? material and gelcoat. After that is dry I plan drill, pot, and tap some holes down the length of the hatch and attach the sides (that come down to keep the hatch on the tracks) which I will make out of some rabetted mahogany.
Anybody have any advice, or see any major flaws with this plan?

Ulam's Type Stability 2014
Call for Papers
The original stability problem was posed by S. M. Ulam in 1940 and concerned approximate homomorphisms. The pursuit of solutions to this problem and to its generalizations and modifications for various classes of (difference, functional, differential, and integral) equations and inequalities is an expanding area of research and has led to the development of what is now quite often called the Hyers-Ulam stability theory. The special issue is focused on the latest achievements in that type of stability for various objects. The authors are invited to submit original research papers and review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts in Ulam's type stability, its applications, and related problems.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Hyers-Ulam stability of difference, functional, differential, and integral equations
- Generalized (in the sense of Aoki and Rassias, Bourgin and Gavruta) stability
- Stability of functional inequalities
- Superstability
- Stability in various (classical Banach, non-Archimedean, fuzzy, and quasi-Banach) spaces
- Direct, fixed-point, and invariant mean methods
- Stability in the sense of Ger
- Applications and related problems
- Stability on a restricted domain

Safety Of Pluristem's PLX Cells Demonstrated In Pre-Clinical Pregnancy Model
HAIFA, Israel, Nov. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PLTR), a leading developer of placenta-based cell therapies, announced today that its PLacental eXpanded (PLX) cells proved to be safe in an animal study assessing maternal and fetal toxicity. The study was conducted at the Charles River Laboratories, one of the world's leading contract research organizations. The results showed that the intramuscular administration of PLX-PAD cells to pregnant rats did not result in any maternal or fetal toxicity. Pluristem will pursue the clinical development of PLX-PAD cells for the indication of preeclampsia based on these results and earlier evidence that the cells were efficacious in preeclamptic animal models.
"Pluristem is extremely pleased with the demonstrated safety of our PLX-PAD cells in pre-clinical models of pregnancy," said Zami Aberman, Chairman and CEO of Pluristem. "This study, together with the work performed by Dr. Brett Mitchell from Texas A&M College of Medicine,suggesting that our PLX-PAD cells are efficacious in preeclamptic animal models, is an important milestone towards our goal of initiating clinical trials for preeclampsia."
In the study, forty-four pregnant female rats were injected intramuscularly with either PLX-PAD at a dosage of 10 million cells (n=22) or cell-free placebo (n=22), on gestational day 13. Throughout the study the pregnant animals were monitored for viability status, body weight and food consumption. On gestational day 21, female rats were examined for ovarian and uterine contents and abnormalities in dams and pups. Charles River's report concluded that the IM injection of PLX-PAD cells in pregnant rats did not result in any maternal or fetal developmental toxicity.
About Preeclampsia Preeclampsia is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy, and one of the leading causes of premature births, stillbirths and early neonatal and maternal deaths. If left untreated, it can progress to eclampsia, the life-threatening occurrence of seizures during pregnancy. The only known treatment for preeclampsia is abortion or delivery. The disease occurs in previously healthy women after their 20th week of pregnancy, and signs include high blood pressure and significant amounts of protein in the urine. According to the World Health Organization, preeclampsia occurs in approximately 6–8% of pregnancies worldwide. It is estimated that preeclampsia costs the global health care system $3 billion annually.

I got thinking due to another thread / post I saw on back up guns being carried. What if..... and wouldn't that be interesting.
I know at times, I've gone to our farm with a friend of mine and we will take different guns with us to shoot, etc. So, I (myself) might have 1 on me, 3 handguns in the back, an AR, 2 other rifles, and one handgun in the console next to me (loaded). Let alone that he brings some along to shoot as well and carries.
It made me wonder and laugh a bit...... especially since the going to the farm we go thru some very small towns...... imagining some LEO pulling us over and showing my permit, and him asking "where is your gun " ?
Answer, well .. there's one here, one here, he has 2 on him, there are X number of hand guns in the back, an AR, X number of rifles....
We might seem like a traveling arsenal.
I wonder how much "back up" he would call in for ?
Anyone else thought of this, or might have that issue ?
