Summary of Scientific Presentations
Summary Discussions & Recommendations
After the formal presentations, there were discussions about overall priorities for myeloma research. Discussions focused upon the following:
A. DNA array and related technology: The greatest interest and enthusiasm related to the application of genomic and proteinomic technologies in myeloma research. As outlined by Dr. Brian Van Ness, the identification of aberrant gene expression and/or patterns of genes associated with myeloma can become the basis for staging, prognostic classification as well as treatment selection and analysis. There was much discussion both about the most pertinent areas of research as well as potential technical and other difficulties with gene expression studies.
Firstly, only a fraction of identified genes are currently known. Therefore, extensive ancillary research is required to fully characterize new genes. Secondly, the criteria for identifying aberrant and/or abnormal gene expression has spawned the huge fields of bioinformatics and proteinomics. Is "aberrancy" when one or two genes are massively over expressed? Or is it more related to changes in pattern with more subtle increases and decreases of gene expression involving many genes? Will DNA array technology searching at the DNA/RNA level be sufficient or fully relevant? Don't we need to know the changes in the amount and function of expressed proteins? Does DNA, RNA and proteinomic research need to be done in parallel to be meaningful?
These and other issues pointed to the strong likelihood of many years of research to reach any final conclusions. For example, the separation (e.g., by sorting or micro-dissection) and identification of target myeloma cell populations are quite a challenge, but essential as a baseline for gene expression analysis of the initial malignant (or pre-malignant) cell population.
There was much discussion re: the value and significance of studies using myeloma cell lines versus direct human material versus animal model studies. Animal models are clearly important, particularly, since the direct human material of the greatest interest is the most difficult to obtain and analyze. For example, difficulties in comparing MGUS with active myeloma include purifying plasma cells from MGUS bone marrow samples as well as identifying patients during or before and after the transition to active myeloma. Likewise, studying treatment sensitive and resistant patients requires careful serial monitoring. To compare patients with solitary plasmacytoma with multiple myeloma, again, one needs to obtain solitary plasmacytoma material, which is a difficult task. New animal model systems can therefore prove very useful.
Great care is required in the design and implementation of meaningful studies. This discussion led to an assessment of the value of a "myeloma tissue bank" to make precious clinical samples of cells/DNA/RNA available for critical comparative studies. See further comments below.
Additional facets of importance include pharmacogenetics whereby drug dosage and scheduling can be adjusted based upon individual variation in drug sensitivity and metabolism. Studies of normal host cell DNA/RNA, and protein expression are required to identify relevant polymorphisms.
Recommendation: It is a top priority to pursue research in the areas of genomics and proteinomics. It is to be anticipated that many new facets of myeloma will be uncovered which will require several years to fully analyze. Although this research will undoubtedly lead to new therapies, development of such treatments will require several additional years of pre-clinical and clinical trials.
B. Other Priorities:
Although molecular genetic research was identified as a clear priority, several other topics were seen to be very important including:
It was recognized that each of these three types of research support has a different role to play in the overall myeloma research environment. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) can provide the highest level, broad based long term funding, plus potentially support selected new initiatives. Non-profit funding has the greatest flexibility with priorities strongly influenced by the sources of donated funds (e.g., patient funding to support clinical or translational research or patient education and/or advocacy). Pharmaceutical research is highly focused upon new drug approvals and the potential for significant profits.
Within this broad framework, the IMF can play a critical role in supporting and promoting new clinically relevant research to maximize the quality of life for patients with myeloma. Since myeloma is an orphan disease that is not necessarily attractive to large pharmaceutical companies from a profit standpoint, creative methods are required to bring new drugs to the market for myeloma patients in a timely fashion.
SPECIFIC PROJECTS involving the IMF
There was considerable discussion concerning several possible new IMF initiatives. Two topics garnished the most attention.
A. Help with the rapid development and implementation of the International Prognostic Index:
It was agreed to proceed with this and a meeting of appropriate investigators was planned for the earliest opportunity.
Addendum: The IMF sponsored the first meeting of the Prognostic Index Working Group at ASH 2000 in San Francisco. A follow-up implementation meeting will be in Banff in May 2001.
B. Establish an International Myeloma Tissue Bank to include both malignant and normal tissues:
It was recommended that this project be the basis of specific fund raising drives with creation and implementation of an International Tissue Banking Resource as soon as feasible. Since Dr. Gareth Morgan (UK) already obtains tissue for molecular testing, a pilot tissue bank under his auspices can be considered. This is being reviewed by the IMF (UK). Further discussions are underway for 2001 to develop detailed plans for an International Myeloma Tissue Bank.
Other issues were addressed including:

Bringing Baby Home
Di Has Her Boys; Now Fergie Has Her Girls—and a Second Chance to Change from Raucous Royal to Marvelous Mum
When Fergie tilted her second daughter slightly forward to show her lovely face, the crowd issued a collective "aaaah!" But her tranquil highness Eugenie, who follows the Yorks' 20-month-old daughter Beatrice as sixth in line to the British throne, never opened her birth-blue eyes. Instead, she allowed her mother to savor the spotlight. With an exuberance that belied her difficult delivery, Fergie handed the bundled baby to Andrew and rushed forward to greet the crowd. When she reached Edith, whose vigil had been reported by Andrew, the Duchess of York leaned down and grabbed the pensioner's hands. "I'm trembling all over," said Bowdidge, visibly overcome.
It was the kind of reception Fergie had hoped for after a year of relentless barbs from the press—and all the more precious because of the prolonged hospital stay. Fergie had planned to have labor induced, but the 7-lb., 1½-oz. Eugenie, who was in a breech position, proved to be as stubborn as her strong-willed mother. Prince Andrew drove up from his naval base in Devonport, Devon, for the operation. "Andrew was wonderful," the British tabloid News of the World quoted a Portland Hospital worker. "He held onto her hand and wasn't the slightest bit squeamish."
His was more than the usual bedside support. According to family members, Fergie wasn't prepared for the severity of the surgery, which was performed with epidural anesthesia that left her pain-free but conscious. "She's frail and weak," her father, Maj. Ronald Ferguson, later told friends. "Absolutely knocked out."
Yet emerging from the hospital, the duchess looked fit and—despite reports that she had been ordering Big Macs, pizza and fried chicken from her maternity bed—wonderfully trim. Indeed, this second-time mother stood in stunning contrast to the dowdy duchess who had left the same hospital 20 months earlier with Princess Bea: This pregnancy, Fergie kept her weight below her 154-lb. goal. The baby also had something that her big sister lacked at the tender age of 1 week—a name.
But what a name! U—WHO? demanded the Daily Star. More common in France than Britain, it is most closely associated with the French—French!—Empress Eugénie, the Spanish-born wife of Napoleon III. And in fact, the Empress Eugénie served as godmother to the Yorks' true inspiration, Princess Victoria Eugenie (1887-1969), the favorite granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Most of the tabloids, though, are still struggling with the name. Buckingham Palace has requested the name be pronounced "U-jay-nay," with a French inflection, but the papers have offered everything from "Ur-je-knee" to "Uzhaynee." To stem the confusion, the Sun set up a hotline offering the Palace pronunciation and received 40,000 calls in two days.
The name game also piqued the interest of Harold Brooks-Baker, publishing director of Burke's Peerage, who declared that the name indicated a desire on the part of the Yorks "to return to Victorian values." The comment must have amused many: In the past, Fergie has been noted for freewheeling behavior that most British citizens consider far from royal and not in the least Victorian.
As recently as March 2, she and Andrew stayed until 2 A.M. at a party for Michael Caine at a Mayfair club. And the parties didn't stop with Eugenie's birth: The night before she checked out of the hospital, one insider reports, Fergie sat in her room with half a dozen friends, drinking champagne. When Andrew arrived, he was reportedly so annoyed he shooed everyone out of the room.
Fergie, 30, might be forgiven such high spirits. Eugenie's birth was not only unexpectedly traumatic, but it followed a period of intense personal turmoil and family stress. Roundly criticized last year for peddling her Budgie children's books—and keeping a large part of the profits—and other conduct deemed unsuitable for a royal, the duchess has been trying to regain popularity by stepping up her schedule of official engagements. In addition, Fergie has spent a lot of emotional energy shoring up her extended family.
In December Fergie's sister Jane, 32, ended her 15-year marriage to Alex Makim, 39, an Australian rancher. Jane, who is now living solo in Sydney, faces a custody battle over her children, Seamus, 9, and Ayesha, 4, and was prevented from bringing them to London when she flew in March 25 to be with Fergie.
In early February, Fergie's mother, Susan Barrantes, 52, rushed her husband, Hector, 51, until recently a regular on the international polo circuit, from their home in Argentina to New York City's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for treatment of cancer of the lymph glands. Although air travel during the eighth month of pregnancy is usually discouraged, Fergie flew to New York to be with her mother and stepfather.
Such trials, royal observers suggest, may eventually help mature the tempestuous redhead. Smaller signs that a royal makeover is underway include the duchess's regular visits to the Ragdale Health and Beauty Clinic in Mayfair. Now that she's back home in Surrey at the seven-bedroom Castlewood House—where the Yorks have lived for two years—Fergie is reportedly following fitness guru Callan Pinckney's "callanetics" program to get back in shape.
Keenly aware of not only her new baby's cries, but also Beatrice's need to have Mother's love reemphasized, Fergie for now is sticking close to home. During the next six-to-eight weeks, the duchess will handle her new handful with the help of a nurse-midwife. After that it will be up to Fergie and Bea's nanny, Alison Wardley, 28, who will take on the care of both children. As for Andrew—no diaper duties for this prince. Last week he returned to Devonport, although he's expected to make the three-hour drive to London every weekend before his ship sets sail in July for several weeks or longer.
Eugenie will be 6 months and Bea age 2 before they move into their new quarters at the controversial 12-bedroom Sunninghill Park mansion the Yorks are building in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire. Work delays—and the firing of more than 100 workers on charges varying from poor workmanship to bad language—have contributed to the house's escalating costs: Originally budgeted at $3 million, it is now expected to cost $58 million.
But if the Yorks' planned cinema, tennis courts, swimming pool, billiards room and stables are yet to be completed, the children's quarters are moving along nicely. Beatrice's room has been painted pink and lemon. Eugenie's is lemon and blue—a color scheme that, until March 23, prompted speculation that the new York would be a boy.
The duchess isn't expected to resume her royal rounds until June. But she is already getting higher marks from some Brits. "I'm glad I've seen her. She looks much nicer in the flesh," said passerby Kathy Baxter, 21, after watching Fergie leave the hospital. "I don't think I'll believe anything bad about her in the papers again." That would suit Fergie just fine.

Daily Journal
SALTILLO – Voters today will decide the fate of a Saltillo street improvement program that would be funded by a new 8-mill city tax.
Registered voters who live in the Saltillo city limits are eligible to vote in the referendum at the Saltillo Community Center, 200 Park Ave., from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The tax, if approved by a majority of those voting, would be in place for five years and fund three major road projects the Board of Aldermen approved from a list proposed by a citizens' committee. It would bring in about $234,000 annually to go toward the $2,556,000 million anticipated cost of the projects.
City taxes would rise about 30 percent for most residents, but county and school district taxes wouldn't be affected.
Projects funded would:
* Add a turn lane from Mobile Street onto Cartwright Street.
* Turn Old Highway 45 from two lanes to five where it meets Highway 145 by McDonald's.
* Turn Highway 145 into three lanes from Mobile Street to Pannel Drive.

Bus driver fired after extra stop -- to get bagel
Two teens on board when bus driver leaves post
Published 10:48 AM EDT Mar 15, 2013
A Seminole County school bus driver is out of a job after making an unscheduled stop.
The driver was caught on camera picking up students and breakfast on the way to school.
Surveillance video shows Howard Moore parking his bus at a doughnut shop early one morning in October. He then leaves two teens on board alone, with the keys still in the ignition.
After four minutes, Moore returned to the bus with food and a soda.
"No, I didn't get a doughnut. I got a bagel," Moore is heard saying on the recording.
Moore had been suspended since the incident, but was officially fired Thursday.

Do Moms Need A Time Out From Parenting? Why It May Be Our Own FaultDanielle Sullivan
Moms are overwhelmed, period. That doesn't come as a surprise to most of today's mothers.
Reuters reports that a study by ForbesWoman and the pregnancy website TheBump.com found that 92 percent of working moms and 89 percent of stay-at-home mothers felt overwhelmed by work, home and parenting responsibilities. Nearly 30 percent of working mothers said they do the bulk of the household chores and 31 percent said they are responsible for all of the parenting.
And some say our resulting stress might just be our own fault.
Furthermore, seventy percent of working moms and 68 percent of stay-at-home mothers said "they feel resentful toward their partner" because of all they have to do:
"It's not just that women can't ask for help; they don't want to," said Meghan Casserly, a reporter for ForbesWoman. "She feels it's damaging her sense of motherhood to ask for help. And it's causing resentment."
"Moms have an innate aspiration to do it all and a secret desire to be superwoman," says Carley Roney, editor in chief of TheBump.com, which she feels may start in childhood. "There is an underlying self-doubt and guilt in saying I don't want to do this. It's literally ingrained in most of us to want to be Super Moms," she says.
And it's this longing to be the perfect, patient mom who should not only be able to handle it all, but do so with a smile on her face, that makes us self sabotage:
That guilt then, and the reluctance to relinquish any task of motherhood, might just be Public Enemy No.1. "It's a martyr syndrome," Roney contends. "You want to do everything, but you want to be recognized for it. You want to be offered the help, not to ask for it; and that's where the resentment kicks in." Seventy percent of working moms admitted resentment towards their partners for not being as helpful as they'd like with parenting duties.
Roney may have been in my house before she uttered these words. I honestly don't know why I naturally assumed that every part of child rearing fell on me but ever since my kids were born, when they needed something, I was the one who ran to get it. If I was at work, my husband happily took over, but when I was home, it was as if everything fell on my shoulders. The problem is that even when my husband offered to help, I'd still feel an intense need to do it. So eventually he began to stop asking. But he should just do it, without my asking, I would think. And I began to feel resentful.
In my state of anger, I couldn't understand why he didn't respond to the baby's obvious need to reach her sippy cup or have a diaper change when I so obviously did. But that was when I was angry. Soon enough, he would say or do something minor (that irritated me) and I would let out the laundry list of reasons why I felt resentful. It was a lose-lose situation. When cooler heads prevailed, I was able to tell him how the events leading up to my melt-down bothered and exhausted me, and he was able to tell me he really didn't notice all those minute details that I did, but if I asked him to help, he would have.
So why was it so hard for me to simply ask?
"There's ego in motherhood," Roney concludes. "And an ego in being a wife. It's the nature of being a mother—that you'll just do it. That you'll take it like a mom.'" Communicating the need for help is a troubling but necessary first step, she says, to relieving stress, avoiding resentment and—ultimately—getting the time out every mother deserves. "At some point, you've got to say: I can do a lot of it, but I don't want to do it all."
Not until I learned that I didn't have to do it all, did I find any peace. During one recent discussion about the sheer volume of dishes that have to cleaned in a household of five, my husband told me that if I didn't have to do every dish as soon as it was dirty and if I left them there, since he works the evening shift, he'd do them later when he got home from work. But my compulsion was to have the kitchen cleaned before I went to bed. That was how I was raised and if I was dead tired, I still had to get it done. That's what my mother did and still does. It had nothing to do with him or his willingness to help, but rather reflected my childhood beliefs of seeing my own mother do everything alone.
Surely, not every woman has this reluctance to ask for help, but so many of us do. Many of us were raised being the "good girl", and don't want to put someone out, even our own husbands at times. It's not difficult to understand why we ended up this way either. I have heard countless times from women of our mothers' generation who place the parenting and household responsibilities on the woman because it was all placed on them years before.
Throughout our marriage, the more I talked about it this self-imposed martyr sentence with my husband, the freer I felt. Last week after a particularly grueling workday, I left an entire sink filled with dishes and went to bed, and when I woke up, the kitchen was spotless. So I fully understand what Roney is saying.
Sometimes it's our own fault when we are stressed. Sometimes we have to ask for help. Sometimes our husbands don't see everything that needs to get done…but would certainly pitch in, if we simply asked.

Hope you have a cold beverage on a nice summer day like today.
Tasty tasty fire.
Yeah, you gotta be careful with that shit. I was out "working" in the sun today. Not even all that hot (only !85F or so). Came in to cool off. Made myself a mixed drink. Now I'm drunk as shit on one tiny little "adult beverage"
I guess dehydration and alcohol don't mix…
yeah, if your dehydrated you have less blood, thus causing you to get drunk with less less. i study biology but i dumbed it down because your probably still drunk.
So, Balls is a true blond…
Balls is good at doing commercials for drink ads
Blue fire molotov?!?!?!…..that fucker must be hot!….Must be Absinthe….

So you called your boss a %!&-! How to fix online disasters
The symptoms are universal: There's a sudden gasp for air and an involuntary utterance of "uh oh," followed by an instant surge of heat rushing over the body, increased heart rate, dizziness, nausea and an overwhelming desire to dig a hole and crawl in.
Such are the measurable physiological and psychological responses that occur upon accidentally sending a steamy text meant for your hot girlfriend to your church minister instead.
Or, possibly worst of all, tapping the dreaded "reply all" button and propelling a snarky reference about your supervisor's body odor.
A few years back, Zoe Francis, a Pleasanton, Calif., freelance writer, accidentally sent an e-mail to her boss in which she referred to him as a distinctive type of feminine hygiene product.
"I thought I would die when I sent that note," she said. "The second I hit 'send,' I knew I had made an egregious error. Luckily, he did not kill me or fire me."
When her boss got that note, he strolled ever so slowly to her desk. "He wasn't laughing," Francis said. "But he understood the error and took it extremely well."
Online mishaps can certainly be funny. Who can forget the "reply-all-pocalypse" of November 2012 when New York University student Max Wiseltier received an e-mail from college administrators about a tax form, which he tried to forward to his mom saying, "Do you want me to do this?"
A slip of the mouse later and Wiseltier had sent that simple query to all his fellow 39,979 students on the Listserv. Thousands of them then replied-all back, mocking him, adding jokes and comments, turning the innocent mistake into an Internet phenomenon and getting Wiseltier on everything from "ABC News" to "Jimmy Kimmel."
But serious consequences can happen, too. Jobs have been lost, relationships altered. E-mail "storms" -- when people "reply all" to "reply all" messages over and over, multiplying like rabbits in everyone's inboxes -- can overload servers and shut down critical systems. Some research has shown that at least 15 percent of an average office worker's day is spent on e-mail, and 5 percent of those received are of the "reply all" variety.

Ofcom test could force BT to raise broadband prices
09:49, June 16 2014
Investigation could also mean BT cutting wholesale costs for other providers.
BT could be set for severe penalties if found to be unfairly dominating the broadband market by an Ofcom investigation, it has been revealed.
The watchdog has a set of proposals that will examine whether the difference between BT's wholesale and retail pricing of its 'superfast broadband' is small enough to amount to a "margin squeeze" on competitors, the Telegraph reported.
If this is the case, BT could be forced to raise its own prices or cut wholesale costs for its rivals, causing bill headaches for many of its customers.
The test will examine the effect that BT's offer of giving away its BT Sport channel with home broadband subscriptions has had on the market. The move, which was the result of a multi-billion pound investment from BT, will be the subject of an estimate test from Ofcom which will examine BT's own retail profitability in giving away the service, which includes live Premier League football, free of charge.
BT has declined to comment on the test.
The news marks the second time in two months when BT has come under scrutiny from Ofcom. Last month, the company announced it would be hiring 1,600 more engineers following severe criticism from the watchdog concerning unrepaired faults and slow internet installation.
Under new guidelines, the company will face penalties if faulty lines are not repaired within two working days and the installation of new lines is not completed within 12 working days, Ofcom revealed.
In April, BT was also criticised over its supposed monopoly of the rural broadband market by the UK Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which called out the UK government for allegedly failing to encourage competition towards the company when bidding for a £1.2bn network procurement deal.
According to the watchdog's report, the company had been awarded all the contracts to extend faster internet connections to areas that are not considered commercially viable.

David Stern is a Scrooge.
There hasn't been a lockout in the NBA since the end of the 20th century, but Stern and the NBA took one step closer to a lockout when they informed the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) that they would not exercise the option to extend the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) one year, despite unprecedented TV ratings and a record-setting $100 million in season ticket sales.
Hope you enjoyed the five Christmas games played on Saturday because they could be the last ones fans can enjoy on Christmas till 2012 unless David "Scrooge" Stern learns "how to keep Christmas well" just like old Ebenezer did in the classic Charles Dickens novella. There were no Christmas games played when the NBA locked out the players in 1998.
We all know how Ebenezer learned his lesson. He was haunted by three ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. If there's any hope of celebrating Christmas with NBA games next year, then the league needs its own ghosts to show Scrooge Stern the light.
But who should be those ghosts?
There have been 554 performances by 329 players on 22 teams in 28 Christmas games during the 21st century (from 2000 to 2009). Let's take a look at the stats for those Christmas games and select who the most productive players were, are and will be. Those will be the ghosts cast to convince Stern to stop putting money before the fans' enjoyment of an NBA Christmas.
This article will use Win Score and Estimated Wins Produced, statistical models created by Professor David Berri from the Wages of Wins Journal, to measure how much a player's box score statistics contributed to their team's performance. An average player produces an estimated 0.100 wins per 48 minutes (EWP48), a star player produces 0.200+ EWP48 and a superstar produces 0.300+ EWP48. More information on these stats can be found at the following links:

Vice President Biden, speaking Friday to families and friends of military personnel killed in action, gave a powerful retelling of the death of his wife and daughter 40 years ago - saying he'd realized then how grief might push a person to suicide.
"For the first time in my life, I understood how someone could consciously decide to commit suicide," Biden told a meeting of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors at a hotel in Arlington, Va.
The group offers counseling to relatives and friends of military personnel who have died. It was holding its 18th annual military survivor seminar.

text: I want to bring up a question which has lingered in my mind for some time. I have just started to truly drink beer. By this I mean to take notes, logs, tasting, research, etc. But what I find difficult is what beers are truly representing the style its trying to make? I fall into the belief that beer brewing is just like an artist painting, building, or playing music, that's its just there take on it no matter how you look at it. We group painters by stating if they're modern or progressive, or whatever, and we group music by genres, rock, alternative, etc. But not all painters or musicians follow the "rules." So with beer How can I find, for example, of a true 'American Double' or Russian Imperial Stout, or Heffeweizen. Guidance? Thoughts? Comments?

Personally, I'm a fan of Loren Feldman at 1938 Media. I like the way he gets things across in a no bs style and he never fails to make me laugh, even if he probably doesn't mean to. Just like my step-father from Vegas who always tells me "you're pissin' up a rope, my boy" there is an Americanism that just appeals to my rather stiff, formal English sense of humour.
Anyway, the point he raises in this video is crucial to all of us who work in the blogging industry and it gave me an idea….one that I know we will be well and truly trashed for. So be it.
Splashpress Media has gone around buying up a lot of blog-related sites on the internet over the last year- to the degree that some have called us Splash Cash. In some instances, maybe we overpaid, in others maybe we got a bargain. Who knows…?
Certainly, prices seem to have gone up over the last year. Compare when we bought JOAB at its height from David Krug for $2k, to a blog like Blogging Fingers which sells within hours at Sitepoint for its BIN of $6k. Or One Man's Goal– just a 5 month old blog being offered $8.5k yesterday. These are all minor deals, of course, and not any reflection on a Facebook bubble. But still…it's the many parts that make the whole.
So here's the deal. We'll give $1,000 cash to the best "worth evaluation" of Splashpress Media's network via a comment in reply to this post, a post on your own blog with a pingback or a private email via our contact form.
We already know its value to us….!
To explain a bit further- what we are looking for is the best "model" for "worth evaluation", not the $$ figure itself, i.e: it really doesn't matter whether you think we are "worth" a million bucks or zero, it is how you got to the numeric figure that matters. And to make it harder, we're not going to provide any stats whatsoever or any revenue figures. You'll just need to guess at the reality or the potential- up to you.
One point we would like to make is that, like many others, we were penalized hard in the recent PR update. Many of our sites lost 3 points. This may downgrade the "worth" of those sites, or not- but it also may lower our income, as we take steps to get our PR back by being good little boys and discarding paid text links. So bear this in mind, e.g: Performancing from PR7 to PR4, Wisdump from PR6 to PR3, Blog Herald from PR6 to PR4 and so on….all may be "worth" less, or may rebound in PR and have less income.
Another small tip. How much "lateral worth" does one get in terms of leveraging one's own products? e.g: how many licenses of Blog Hoster do we sell by pushing the brand within our own network?
You should base your "worth evaluation" only on the properties as shown in the network section of this site.
Who will be the judge? We have decided the best person for the job is the "blog seller" or "site flipper" himself, Mr David Krug. There is nobody in the business who knows better "what you can get". And how you get to such a figure, based on all the facets and angles involved.
We'll entertain entries until the end of this week- Sunday, Nov. 11th, midday EST.
On Monday, Nov. 12th, we'll publish the winning entry and Paypal that person the $1k. No SPM employees allowed to enter!
As a footnote, just in case there is any speculative mischief, this is an intellectual experiment. We are NOT looking to sell our network (or any of our online properties) for a very, very long time.

Guess Splashpress Media Network Worth to Win $1000…
Splashpress Media has been in the buzz lately due to their aggressive buying out of top blogs. The widespread Google Pagerank downgrades have changed the way blogs are valued. Splashpress Media is offering $1000 cash to soemone who can provide the best…
A formal analysis of blogs from sitepoint and digitalpoint show that they usually sell at 11.56 times monthly cash flow. That's low compared to other industries, but it reflects the perceived riskiness of a blog. By acquiring an entire network, the perceived risk should decline which would increase the premium. I would assume that a financial acquirer would pay about 15x-20x monthly cash flow, and a strategic acquirer would probably pay 24-28x monthly cash flow. I'll guess your average site does around 2K a month net, and that you would most likely be acquired strategically. You have 54 sites so multiply that by 26 (halfway between 24 and 28) and 2K and you get $2.8 million. That's what I think you could get if you wanted to sell, and held out for a good price.

I think that the true value of SPM and all it's properties is really immeasurable. To try to put a dollar amount on a network containing such a wide variety of sites falling under many categories is almost impossible. Each and every site has its own collection of faithful readers who turn to these sites owned by SPM day in and day out. They obviously place an extreme high value on these sites because they are so greatly valuable to them. The content SPM outputs and the quality of it allows each site to have an incredible amount of worth, both literally and figuratively, in the minds of the owners and the readers.
Wow.. ok but that's difficult. I suppose a formal analysis is very hard without any data, so that method isnt going to work. But you guys sell all sorts of stuff, the blog products prices range from a few dozen dollars all the way up to a few hundred. But then we have to consider the worth of the membership of some of those sites- performancing metrics must have tens of thousands?
From my personal experience I know that just one successful blog can rake the money in. So with all the interlinking going on and the cross promoting of a certain relevant product on another network site (or multiple sites) the potential worth is probably huge. Ive seen some purchases have been multiples tens of thousands upwards, so in order to justify that kind of cash purchase splashpress must have had pretty strong confidence in the returns. Especially to do it more than once (buy more than one product). Definitely tricky to calculate a possible figure. However I am going to run with the $2.8m benchmark idea from another comment above, but make it slightly higher at a straight $3m. This is because of the massive potential in the network, whether or not it is already making enough to justify that (or maybe more?!). Presumably someone with the right products could come along and just "tap into" the network and sell things all over. So for that reason I put it slightly higher at $3m, but I really have no serious clue! Wouldnt be surprised if it's a great deal more. If Im close you can contact me by email!
Ooh one addition- do we calculate the worth of the employees? Because I recognise some of those names for example. So if they are part of the worth of Splashpress in numerical terms they surely add to the price again. Hrm.. now I am thinking more than $3m, but Im gonna stick with that.
I have spent a lot of time trying to determine various web properties and here is how I assess their value. There are a number of conditions that come into play.
First of all, how much did the site/blog/network cost to create? How much was the software behind each website and how much did all the designs of the sites in the network cost? Provided that large amounts of money were not wasted (such as spending $5,000 on a blog design that could have easily been created for $750), the network should be worth at least the sum its parts and what was spent to create it.
Secondly, how much money does the network make? With reputable blogs, the value would be around 15x monthly revenue, provided that the blog has been established for at least 20 months and has a growing reader base. The same should apply for other websites where no product is directly being sold. Services, like WordPress Design and Consulting should also sell for around 15x monthly revenue, provided again that the company has is showing an upward trend in terms of revenue. Products, like BlogHoster, should sell for 24x monthly revenue as the product has already been created and the buyer would only need to work on upgrading/improving it, and acquiring new customers.
Next, we have free wordpress themes. While designing services are valuable, free themes are not exactly money makers. Hence, $1000 should be added to the price for each free theme that Splashpress owns, except for themes like Cutline that have become incredibly popular. These themes should add at least $10,000 to the asking price.
Last but not least, a small premium should be added for blogs that have become a leader in their niches. Seeing each blog's Technorati Rank is a good way to do this. I believe that an extra $25,000 should be added (per blog) if it is in the Technorati Top 100, $15,000 if it is in the Technorati Top 250, $8-10,000 if it is in the Technorati Top 500, and $5000 if it is in the Technorati Top 1000. An extra $3000 can be added for each blog in the Technorati Top 5000.
Adding these values together should give an accurate value of the network's worth.
A social network for bloggers could add a lot of value to the network however, with many networks selling for as much as $70 per monthly unique user. While there is great competition from MyBlogLog's, and IZEA (PayPerPost's) upcoming SocialSpark network and $70 per unqiue monthly visitor is far from guaranteed, adding a blogging social network could reasonably fetch either 24x-30x monthly revenue (if monthly unique visitors was within a few hundred thousand visitors). If traffic increased to 500,000+ unique monthly visitors, the social network could easily add a million dollars or more to the value of SplashPress. Off course, the hard part would be to acquire so many members, but the current reach that the SplashPress network has would definitely kickstart the project.

The research focused on the domain where customer focused process management and the Balanced Scorecard are combined. The research problem was to clarify how customer focused process management ant the Balanced Scorecard can be integrated into the method for analyzing and developing strategic measures for the balanced target setting. The research problem was divided into four sub-objectives. The first objective was to study, how process management and the Balanced Scorecard could be integrated. The second objective was to study how different reference models and knowledge gathered from interviews could be utilized in the balanced target setting. According to the results of these two objectives, the aim was to build up a method for analyzing and developing strategic measures. The fourth objective was to analyse the strategic measures of a strategic pilot business area. The theoretical background of process management and the Balanced Scorecard was supplemented with the information about the reference models and the knowledge gathered from organization interviews. The research was conducted by using the methodology of constructive research. /Kir10

It is a building block to bad health; pediatricians are seeing it at an alarming rate - childhood obesity and the medical conditions that come with it.
"If we actually talk about the rates of obesity and what an obese child is potentially more at risk for: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, joint related problems, liver disease, gall bladder disease," says Dr. Nancy Witham, pediatrician with Lee Memorial Health System.
And it may get worse. A recent study by the American Diabetes Association found kids who are overweight in kindergarten are more than five times as likely to be obese by 8th grade. Mother of two Andrea Gaddis manages her family's weight plan.
"I think it's a problem because we have a lot of fast food. I'd rather go home for 30 minutes, sit down have lunch and give them good snacks like carrots," says Gaddis.
"It's all about choices, and making the appropriate choices - looking at portion sizes, understanding that when your child says' I'm hungry' they might mean 'I'm bored'," says Dr. Witham.
Experts find it important to focus on diet at a young age, drop the 'bigger is better' mentality and nix the notion of baby fat.
"What we realize as pediatricians is that folks are accepting a certain amount of chubbiness on their children," says Dr. Witham.
It may take more work, but children need to play more. The study points out diet alone doesn't do it. A lack of physical activity is showing up on waistlines.
"If you see right now there's nobody at the park. Everyone is at home and no body takes their kids outside. I make her go to the pool. Everyday she has outside time. I make her even when she wants to sit down and watch TV," says Gaddis.
Healthy habits go a long way in tilting the scales and the odds in your child's favor.

Orange-fronted Parakeet
- The name "Orange-fronted Parakeet" is also used for Malherbe's Parakeet, a critically endangered parakeet from New Zealand.
The Orange-fronted Parakeet or Orange-fronted Conure (Aratinga canicularis), also known as the Half-moon Conure, is a medium-sized parrot which is a resident from western Mexico to Costa Rica.
There are three subspecies:[2]
- Aratinga canicularis canicularis (Linnaeus, 1758)
- Aratinga canicularis clarae (R. T. Moore, 1937)
- Aratinga canicularis eburnirostrum (Lesson, 1842)
Orange-fronted Parakeets are 22.5 cm long and weigh 80 g. The adult is mainly green, paler and yellower below and with an olive tone to the breast. The wings have blue outer primaries and yellow linings, and the pointed tail is tipped with blue. The head is distinctive, with a blue crown, orange forehead, bare yellow eye-ring, yellow iris and white bill. Young birds are similar to the adults, but with much less orange on the forehead.
Habitat and range
It is found in lowlands and foothills on the Pacific side of the central mountain ranges in forest canopy and edges, and more open woodland, including savanna and second growth.
The Orange-fronted Parakeet feeds in flocks which can reach 100 birds outside the breeding season, taking various seeds, flowers and fruits including figs. Its flight call is a raucous can-can-can, and when perched it has a reedy zeeweet.
The 3-5 white eggs are laid in an unlined nest cavity, usually self-excavated in an arboreal termite nest of the termite species Nasutitermes nigriceps,[3] but sometimes in an old woodpecker hole or natural cavity.
The population has decreased in many areas due to persecution for the pet trade.

you have to find first if the router is doing it or zonealarm is doing
it, i have to say this but you are going to have to shut zonealarm and
test it without it. that will tell you if the router is the problem or
zonealarm is the problem try to find the best time to do this, you
decide. good luck, and make sure you only test it and turn zonealarm
back on.

The ladies was preempted here, but, at least, got to see the men.
I can't watch the commercials. I cry. I want to help VERY much and cannot. I leave when the starving children commercials come on. Strangely, the animals only get shown during figure skating, wonder why? It kills me. My cat eats for three-he is huge.
Carolina's costumes have always been distracting to me.
That Humane Society commercial seemed like it came on every break...boy are they tear jerking and depressing, yikes. Maybe they are only on during skating to appeal to Ashley Wagner's cat ladies...
I rather like Carolina's short program costume, but that long program one is a bit of a disaster. Hope she changes it before Europeans.
Charitable organizations like the Humane Society must wrestle with the problem that Coyote Chris brought up -- if they spend all their money on fund raising, then there is nothing left for their charitable works. Advertising on ice skating shows, especially family shows like this one, guarantees an audience of big softies who are ripe for an emotional appeal. Plus, the ads don't cost nearly as much as on prime time. Good strategy for a noble cause.
They might do better to advertise on the coverage of the Westminster Dog Show, which was on on Thanksgiving.

I am on a quest to figure out what kind of spirituality I am going to follow right now. Culturally I am a Christian, but I do not believe everything in the bible any more. I already know that my grandparents are rolling in their graves over this. I certainly know my mother and every other person who I know who is Christian would freak out. I know this, because I used to be the same way.
I read some stuff on Wicca, but I really do not care for it. It just does not suit my fancy. I mean, I like to hang out with a very good friend of mine who is Wiccan, but Wicca is just not for me. Perhaps I should meditate a bit. Maybe God will speak to me and lead me in the right direction.
I might even start reading about philosophy. If I understood my own personal philosophy more, then I think I would be able to go in the direction I need to go.
I guess everyone needs something to believe in. I believe in a goddess. The sun goddess to be exact. Meditation will take time and concentration. Also, if you'll try meditation, you have to be PATIENT! Yep. Um, write me if you want.... I hope I didn't sound to weird..
"Fight fire with fire, you'll end up with ashes." "A charming lady does not follow the crowd, she is herself."
dearest April, If you are interested in Philosophy, you might like to check out Stanford University's Encyclopaedia of Philosophy which is available online for free. The topics range from moral motivation, ethics and empathy, to concepts of God, divine freedom and illumination (look for the latter three under "Divine"). You can find their table of contents at: http://plato.stanford.edu/contents.html#e
I find it a rich source of material that invite me to reflect on my beliefs, the foundation of my beliefs and question why I believe what I do, whether from a emotional, philosophical, moral or faith perspective. I find the articles wonderful for both inspiring and stimulating thought. If you are on the go a lot, they also have podcasts which you can find at: http://itunes.stanford.edu/
I think this is an exciting journey for you to take and who knows where you will end up, but enjoy the view along the path. You'll be amazed at what you see and find. With best wishes, Janice
Hi April I follow a goddess path, but would not regard myself as wiccan (although sometimes celebrate Sabbats with wiccans). My path/spirituality is earth-centric (which much of wicca is also) but I don't do/am not into high magick as they sometimes are. I regard myself as a witch because I am earth-focussed and follow the wheel of the year (seasonally) and believe in Goddess, as mother and also as "in me" - I think you don't necessarily have to give yourself a label, you can pick and choose from religions/spiritual paths where there is synergy - be an eclectic! Once you start to open yourself to the world of possibilities, you will find something that resonates with you. Blessed Be! Les
Hello, April. I believe in The Universal and Eternal Sacred Spirit that homo sapiens have the ability to manifest in each physical manifestation on earth. Each who chooses The Sacred Spirit exhibits the traits of full humanity: responsible, committed, compassionate action on earth. You can read more at OneFamilyManyFaiths.blogspot.com.

Though it is still a mooted question whether the laity should be instructed in matters medical, yet of all books written for the public we know of none which sacrifices truth to epigram so little as this handy volume. In it the author's views are popularized in the form of answers written to patients' letters. The letters and answers are patterned after Oppenheim's letters to his patients. Collins' replies to his patients combine accuracy and charm of expression; in respect to the latter they remind one very strongly of Hamerton's "Intellectual Life." What he tells his patients is exactly what an experienced neurologist should say. It is quite doubtful, however, if the average patient will understand him. It appears certain that the general practitioner will learn much by a perusal of these letters; not only will they teach him what to say to his own patients, but they will also

Mexico City: Tens Of Thousands March Against Proposal To Legalize Gay Marriage
20 Percent Of LGBT Voters Support Donald Trump
NOM Protest Against Mexican Proposal To Legalize Gay Marriage Draws Tiny Crowd
Debra Messing To Present Tituss Burgess With NewFest Voice & Visibility Award
Rhode Island Catholic Church Fires Gay Music Director
Virginia Launches LGBT Tourism Campaign
An appeals court has affirmed a lower
court's ruling awarding a lesbian chef $1.6 million after the owner
of a Mexican restaurant routinely told her gays were "going to go
to hell."
Mirella Salemi sued Gloria's Tribeca,
Inc., Gloria Tribecamex and principal owner Edward Globokar for
violating the New York City Human Rights Law.
The defendants own the Mexican
restaurant chain Mary Ann's.
Globokar, Salemi's former boss, held
employee prayer meetings inside the West Broadway eatery where Salemi
worked, asking God to heal the workers in the restaurant who were gay.
Salemi left the restaurant in 2007
after six years of employment.
Employees who did not share Globokar's
religious beliefs were reportedly warned that they were looking at
eternal damnation unless they repented.
Globokar's defense included claims that
he was exercising his right to freedom of religion, Courthouse
News Service reported.
"The trial court properly protected
Globokar's First Amendment rights by instructing the jury that he had
a right to express his religious beliefs and practice religion,
providing that he does not discriminate against his employees based
on religion or sexual orientation," the appeals court said in its
On Top Magazine

"After a lot of conversations and time thinking about it, I've decided to return to Florida State for my senior season," said Jones. "A lot of guys the past couple of years have helped to turn the program around, and I want to continue to be a part of that process. I've always talked with some of the guys I came in with and we've always talked about finishing together and that's also something I wanted to do. This is the best decision for me and my family. I'm looking forward to coming back, working hard, improving my game but also helping Florida State continue with the success we've had." Jones started every game this season as FSU's weakside linebacker and led the team with 95 tackles. He ranked 20th in the ACC with 6.9 tackles per game and he was seventh overall in the conference for total tackles. Jones' two fumble recoveries tied for third-most in the ACC and tied for the team lead. He also led FSU in fumble return yardage in 2012. The Winter park, Fla. native accounted for the Seminoles only defensive score of the season in a road win at USF. In 2012 the WLB set a new career high for TFL, pass break-ups and fumble recoveries.
Jones returning for his senior season is great news for the Seminole coaching staff especially in terms of the way the junior ended the 2012 season. He recorded eight or more tackles in seven of the last nine games including three games with double digit tackles, which included 10 in the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl. In the first five games of 2012 Jones had 17 tackles; he had 14 in the next game versus NC State and 78 in the last nine games of the season. Jones led FSU in tackles four times and was second on the team three other times in the last nine games.
"I'm excited for Christian to return to Florida State and further his education, playing career and helping put Florida State back at an elite level," said FSU Head Coach Jimbo Fisher. "I think his decision shows great commitment to FSU and great commitment to his future. We're fortunate to have the leadership he brings on and off the field."
With Jones officially returning, the only junior who has not made an announcement regarding his decision is offensive tackle Menelik Watson.

Bluntly - no, it's not.
A developer needs to make sure that something WORKS for everyone. Until it
does, they cannot claim that the product "works".
Me, and others, have repeatedly said that we are experiencing catch rates
of FAR less than the 99.8% you claim. And from what I can tell, we're all
doing pretty much the same thing you are doing (after all, there isn't
alot of tweaking to be done in the JMC).

No - they are stating that THEIR flies are flying. Not theory - fact. We
are trying to figure out how to get our flies to fly. The fact that your
flies can fly is all well and good, but it doesn't mean squadoosh to
everyone else.
According to whitepapers on Baysian filters that have been around for far
longer than TB, teaching the filter about both spam AND ham is the best way
to do it.

Wisdom from Mom Bloggers: What You Didnt Know About Your Favorite BloggersBabble Editors
When a blogger's job is to basically write a day-to-day tell-all of the happenings in her life, there's little left to know about our favorite writers. But while a lot of people think some things are better left to the imagination … we don't! That's why we asked our 2011 Top 100 Mom Bloggers to share one thing we didn't know about them. The answers may surprise you. A Jeopardy contestant? A mom who used to party with the likes of Enrique Iglesias and Marc Anthony? Believe it. We've got the dish … and more. Check out the top answers after the jump!
The wedding planner … and hater 1 of 21I used to own my own wedding planning business. You know, like J. Lo. In related news, I now hate weddings.
- Brittany Gibbons, Barefoot Foodie
What fun is acting your age? 2 of 21I have a ridiculously juvenile sense of humor.
- Sara Sophia, Love, Sara Sophia
Before the zen of yoga … 3 of 21I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. Yoga changed all that, but I still have a cigarette maybe once a year, and I relish every second of it.
- Eden M. Kennedy, Fussy
The online world can be deceiving 4 of 21I'm super shy and suffer from social anxiety despite how outgoing I seem online. I dread parties and get-togethers but usually enjoy them after I'm there for a while.
- Monica Bielanko, The Girl Who
Clueless in Indy 5 of 21I don't know what the heck I'm doing.
- Casey Mullins, Moosh in Indy
Très horrible 6 of 21I have a terrible French accent.
- Irene Nam, Irene Nam
The closet reality TV lover 7 of 21I have a secret love of certain reality shows! Most people know me for my political passions. But when I'm not watching the talking head news shows, I'm hoping for reruns of Project Runway or Top Chef. And I have to admit, my daughter has gotten me to see the charm of Wizards of Waverly Place!
- Joanne Bamberger, PunditMom
The pants-less blogger 8 of 21I don't usually wear shoes when I work. Or pants.
- Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess
The perils of motherhood 9 of 21I think it's hard to convey how much of my time is spent doing laundry and changing diapers. The menial stuff doesn't make for great stories. I think my life looks much more exciting on paper than it really is day-to-day.
- Kristen Howerton, Rage Against the Minivan
Forget Wheel of Fortune … 10 of 21I was on Jeopardy on two separate occasions. I lost both times. I'm not very bright.
- Julie Robichaux, A Little Pregnant
The late [tech] bloomer 11 of 21I did not own a cell phone until 2007. Most people find that surprising since I do so much online work but I was always doing it from home. Now, my phone and I
are inseparable.
- Heather Armstrong, Dooce
50 is SO the new 20 12 of 21I am every bit as wonderful in real life as I am on my blog. Many people don't think that it could be possible, but it's really true. A miracle, yes, but still true. And that I love getting older. I have no desire to be 15, 25, or even 35 again. I consider aging a privilege.
- Marinka, Motherhood in NYC
A burper to envy 13 of 21Well, I can't whistle, but I can out burp any man, any day of the week. I'm putting that out there as a challenge.
- Shauna Glenn, Shauna Glenn
The over-sharer 14 of 21The second I come up with anything I haven't shared, I tend to immediately share it. I need to work on my over-sharing quite frankly.
- Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, Baby on Bored
Not-so-thick skin 15 of 21My readers don't know how much power they have over me. If they left me mean comments, I would cry and delete my blog.
- Kacy Faulconer, Every Day I Write the Book
The harsh critic 16 of 21One thing readers don't know about me is that I don't believe I've delivered my best yet. I am my harshest critic.
- Carol Cain, NYCity Mama
Welcome to Miami 17 of 21Hmmmm … the stories of my late '90s South Beach days when I could be seen partying with the likes of Enrique Iglesias and Marc Anthony, pre-J. Lo!
- Ana Flores, Spanglish Baby
The tight-lipped stepmom 18 of 21Readers really don't know much at all about my life as a stepmom, because I've chosen to keep that part of my life out of my blog, out of sensitivity to my stepdaughters. I'm not ruling out a book on the subject down the road, though, when everyone's too old to care much about what's written. I have A LOT to say
on the subject!
- Lindsay Ferrier, Suburban Turmoil
V is for vampires 19 of 21Readers would be surprised to know that I love vampire movies. I like the ones that really have a storyline behind them and not the gory ones with a lot of killing.
- Ronnie Tyler, Black and Married with Kids
The power of reader's comments … 20 of 21There is very little that I'm not willing to share with my readers. That said, there are certainly things that I haven't written about that are personal to not just me but my family as well. My readers probably don't know how much I love them and appreciate their words and attention. Their comments have gotten me through some of the toughest times of my life and I haven't taken the time to tell each and every one of them — which I plan to change!
- Jessica Shyba, Momma's Gone City
Life after candy commercials … 21 of 21My greatest accomplishment in life is launching Apu's advertising career — my first job was writing the Simpsons commercials for Butterfinger.
- Liz Gumbinner, Mom 101

Yesterday was my 31st birthday.
I stepped on the scale this morning and it read "288 lbs" back to me. It's shocking how out of shape I've gotten over the last 6 months. I decided enough was enough and am switching over to a Paleo/Primal diet moving forward. My body has been slowly breaking down eating the Standard American Diet and I'm afraid of what will happen if I continue down that path. It's time to gain good health. I hope to post here on my primal journal pretty regularly.

I'm from the the most beautiful southern state of India, Kerala 'God's own country'. Currently residing in the US with the man of my dreams, Manish and our sweet little toddler son, Manav!
He has always been telling me to start a food blog because I'm a total foodie (we both are) and we love trying different cuisines.
I've had this craze of taking snaps of the dishes we eat from restaurants, later on I started taking snaps of the dishes I make! I just love seeing them later on and reminisce the memories around the dish.
Anyways , I realized my hidden talent (you can say!!) in Cooking only after my marriage ( as how most girls do I guess , unless otherwise) , as I never had to cook at home with my Mom being the perfect Mom and having stayed at Hostels while studying, where food is always served Right on Time!!
I guess it was Beginners luck or something, everything I made , my husband loved it. I thought he was being too nice, so I started calling friends over, and they too liked my food, so then I knew it, I was not that bad for a first time cook.
From then on, I have always used my free time and weekends to cook up new recipes and share with friends or enjoy it ourselves :-)
My greatest gift is a collection of my Mom's simple everyday Keralite home recipes which she hand wrote for me and gave me after our wedding. I want to share each and every recipe of hers with you and many more.
I'm not a professional photographer and have no much knowledge on it either, but I'm learning and will soon get better...I used to take my snaps with my Nikon CoolPix S520.
My adorable husband presented me with a Canon Rebel T3i for our Wedding Anniversary this year(2011). I will henceforth be posting pictures of my recipes taken from my new camera which I am still learning how to handle :-) (Updated Dec 26th, 2011)
I would appreciate if the pics or content on this site is not copied and if you need any info please let me know.
I'm still learning the Art of Cooking and Baking and want to share my experiences with you along the way. Come and join me as we together try new dishes and learn new techniques.
For more information regarding any recipe on the blog, or if you have any food related questions please feel free to email me at manjuseatingdelights[at]gmail[dot]com , i'll do my best to reply :-)
