This year is no exception; the watering hole’s 38th Annual Longbeard Contest is helping the DiGregorio’s, a Princeton family whose middle son has a rare genetic disorder called ataxia telagiectasia (A-T). After the child’s diagnosis, family friends set up a fund called Derek’s Dream , to help the family with the expenses of caring for now 14-year-old Derek.
“I came up with the idea after going to a fundraiser to help a sick friend, and we started a committee, led by Steve, to plan an event. The idea was to raise money to help the DiGregorios deal with Derek’s illness,” said Howard Levy, Derek’s Dream’s co-founder. “We wanted them to be comfortable using the money for anything that they needed without any restrictions. Being who they are, the DiGregorios have also committed funds to help other A-T families and also for A-T research. “
A-T is a progressive, rare genetic disease that affects about 600 Americans. The disease attacks children. Both parents need to be carriers for the disease to strike. There is no treatment or cure for the disorder, said Steve DiGregorio, Derek’s father. “This disease compromises the kid’s immune system to the point they can’t be X-rayed and they are susceptible to cancer,” he said. “You have the worst of two worlds combined.” Many of the deaths related to the disease are caused by leukemia.

A quote from the Complaint: ?Microsoft effectively installed the WGA software on consumers' systems without providing consumers any opportunity to make an informed choice about that software."
The products are likely to be the first hardware that Google has marketed under its own brand, and would rival Apple’s AirPlay and the Sonos music streaming service.
Denver's SAME Cafe has a menu that changes daily but always features food that's made from scratch and is largely organic. It has tables, chairs, bus bins, plants in the windows and overhead music (usually a mix of classic rock). But there's one thing SAME doesn't have: a cash register. There's no credit-card machine, no change drawer...
CanGoogleHearMe.com recently introduced BookLamp.org. It's a system that matches users to books based on a full-text analysis of the novel, like how Pandora matches music. It measures elements like action, dialog, and description, graphs them for you scene-by-scene, and uses that to find other books that have similar writing style.
Recalling those halcyon, go-go days of the 1990s when the likes of Planet Hollywood, ESPN Zone, Motown Café, and other similar ventures made for a momentary diversion, Rolling Stone promises that a Los Angeles restaurant called—wait for it—Rolling Stone Los Angeles (RSLA) will be opening soon. Can your heart stand it?
