Marina Del Ray, CA-based Internet advertising firm StreamMedia launched RadicalMail, a streaming e-mail productthat allows recipients to open e-mails full of voice, music, sound effects andvideo, absent any type of plug-in.
Marina Del Ray, CA-based Internet advertising firm StreamMedia launched RadicalMail, a streaming email product that allows recipients to open emails full of voice, music, sound effects and video, absent any type of plug in.
The app also offers e-commerce and audience tracking capabilities, the company said, and was created "in response to ever growing audience expectations for rich streaming media, and can finally answer advertising's biggest question: Is our advertising working?"
Through the use of 'opt-in' email lists, advertisers can be assured that their message is getting to audiences who have already shown interest in that advertising, the company said. Recipients will be able to buy a product or order more information from within the email itself, the company said.
RadicalMail also features real-time tracking capabilities, enabling companies to determine exactly if and when audiences saw the email/advertisement, whether they bought a product or ordered more information, if they forwarded the email/advertisement to others and what they did with it, if the audience invited others to join the 'opt-in' list, and so on.
"There's an end-to-end e-commerce solution built in. If you're selling CDs, right in there is going to be a form that goes into a fulfillment center," Paul Bruemmer, spokesman for the company, told Reuters. "It has a complete backend tracking system. It's the power of television branding and direct response wrapped in one package."
Currently RadicalMail can be viewed only via Microsoft's Outlook Express and Netscape.
"Apparently, HTML email software hasn't quite caught up with the ability to read it. We feel that we're a little bit ahead of the curve. It's almost bleeding edge as opposed to cutting edge," Breummer said. Demos are available on the site.

We would like to have everyone in our program registered on this system. Once registered you will simply log in, choose the program you would like to register for (example winter, spring, or summer travel lacrosse), pay the fees and you will automatically be added to the roster.
We look forward to seeing you on the fields and if you have any comments or concerns please contact Peter VanMiddelem (President), James Carretta (Boys Director), Chris Chamberlain (Girls Director) or myself.

Michael Jordan turns 50 on the 17
. Next Sunday.
On ESPN, on the 17
, they're showing MJ's 50 greatest plays.
THIS Sunday, they're doing a show on his importance in the shoe world.
Who DON'T own a pair of Jays? Whether you stood in line for em, or got em out of Marmaduke trunk, you got a pair!
So I thought of an idea. Where MJ from? NC. So we, the good people of NC should do something.
SO! Sunday, we're doing #50forMJ
I need 49 other people to meet me at The Zone Sports Bar this Sunday, 8pm, to take a picture. Wear ya Jordans, and we're gonna take a picture of 50 people in 50 different pairs of Jordans for MJ's 50
Dope concept right?
One dude on Twitter told me there aren't enough sneakerheads in the Boro to get 50 different Jordans. What you think?
I think we can do it.
8pm at The Zone which is located on S. Elm Street; right across from Jimmy Johns.
We're gonna send the pictures to Jumpman23, nicekicks, & sneakernews.
If you're a MJ fan, and you got some Jays, meet us at The Zone, Sunday, 8pm.
You can come chill if you don't have Jordans, but the picture is for my Jordan heads.
It's a kid friendly environment, so bring ya kids out; put them in their Jays too!
We've got a basketball goal, so we'll be playing #ShotsForShots too; make the shot, any shot you want.
Hope to see you there. I'm out.

Turn on and off
If you turn the light switch on and off by an existing switch does it function like a normal light?

1 Answer from the Community
Yes. The A19 and BR30 Hue bulbs will behave like normal incandescent bulbs when you power them off and on. Note that their default color and brightness are 2,710 Kelvin at full brightness. To get the full benefits of the 16 million colors, dimming capability, color loops, and remote control you should use one of the supported apps.
If you use the "Hue Lights" app, you can easily adjust the color temperature from 6,535 K (Coldest White) to 2,000 K (Warmest White). The LED components in these bulbs are engineered to really match a wide range of white colors. Non-white colors are fun for accents or special moods, but the greens are not too saturated.

Algorithms in Java 3RD Edition Parts 1-4 Fundameby Robert Sedgewick
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Sedgewick has a real gift for explaining concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand. The use of real programs in page-size (or less) chunks that can be easily understood is a real plus. The figures, programs, and tables are a significant contribution to the learning experience of the reader; they make this book distinctive.
--William A. Ward, University of South Alabama
This edition of Robert Sedgewick's popular work provides current and comprehensive coverage of important algorithms for Java programmers. Michael Schidlowsky and Sedgewick have developed new Java implementations that both express the methods in a concise and direct manner and provide programmers with the practical means to test them on real applications.
Many new algorithms are presented, and the explanations of each algorithm are much more detailed than in previous editions. A new text design and detailed, innovative figures, with accompanying commentary, greatly enhance the presentation. The third edition retains the successful blend of theory and practice that has made Sedgewick's work an invaluable resource for more than 400,000 programmers!
This particular book, Parts 1-4 , represents the essential first half of Sedgewick's complete work. It provides extensive coverage of fundamental data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, and related applications. Although the substance of the book applies to programming in any language, the implementations by Schidlowsky and Sedgewick also exploit the natural match between Java classes and abstract data type (ADT) implementations.
Whether you are learning the algorithms for the first time or wish to have up-to-date reference material that incorporates new programming styles with classic and new algorithms, you will find a wealth of useful information in this book.
Book News Annotation:
This volume comprises a new edition of the first half of Sedgewick's (computer science, Princeton, U.) complete work. Sixteen chapters present Java class implementations of about 100 important practical algorithms, and address topics such as ADTs, modular, and object oriented programming; arrays, linked lists, trees, and other data structures; algorithms for sorting, selection, priority queue ADT implementations, and search algorithms; and implementations for binomial queues, multiway radix sorting, randomized BSTs, splay trees, skip lists, multiway ties, and other advanced methods.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
By blending theory and practice, this book appeals equally to both the academic and professional markets. For the first time, Sedgewick's seminal work on algorithms and data structures is available with implementations in Java. The author has developed new Java code that both expresses the methods in a concise and direct manner, and also provides programmers with the practical means to test them on real applications.
For the first time, Robert Sedgewick's popular textbook on algorithms and data structures is available in a Java version. Tim Lindholm (co-author of The Java Virtual Machine Specification) and Sedgewick have developed new Java implementations that both express the presented methods in a concise and direct manner, and also provide students with the practical means to test them on real applications. This particular book, Parts 1-4, represents a substantial update of the first half of Sedgewick's complete work. It provides extensive coverage of fundamental data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, and related applications. The update features expanded coverage of arrays, linked lists, strings, trees, and other basic data structures, and greater emphasis on abstract data types (ADT's) and object-oriented programming. It includes over 100 algorithms for sorting, selection, priority queue ADT implementations, and symbol table ADT (searching) implementations, and over 1000 new exercises to help students learn the properties of algorithms.
About the Author
Robert Sedgewick is the William O. Baker Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. He is a Director of Adobe Systems and has served on the research staffs at Xerox PARC, IDA, and INRIA. He earned his Ph.D from Stanford University under Donald E. Knuth.

ATLANTA, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Global business integration software provider SEEBURGER today announced that it has received final ISO 27001 certification for its cloud-based business integration services, ensuring that customer data hosted by SEEBURGER is handled in compliance with the leading international standard for information security management. The certification was awarded by the TÜV Rheinland Group, an accredited ISO auditor and a leading global provider of technical services.
Click to Tweet: SEEBURGER Receives Final ISO 27001 Certification for Cloud Services - http://clicktotweet.com/veY5Z
SEEBURGER's commitment to gaining ISO 27001 certification reflects ongoing growth in the company's managed services as customers opt to outsource their electronic data interchange (EDI), managed file transfer (MFT) and other supply chain communication and document exchange requirements rather than purchasing, installing and maintaining an in-house B2B infrastructure.
The number of customers electing to deploy the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) and associated solutions as a managed service has surged by nearly 50% in the last three years as the market has continued to move to the cloud model, with more than 5,000 customers now on the company's managed services roster. Cloud services available from SEEBURGER include:
- Managed EDI/B2B services, including data exchange (for routing supply chain transactions across any communication protocol), B2B integration (for organizations that need mapping and ERP integration as well as data exchange), Web EDI order processing (for automating communications with smaller suppliers with no EDI or ERP systems), and delivery schedule processing (for online marketplace applications).
- Managed file transfer, enabling large and/or sensitive files of any kind to be exchanged both inside and outside the corporate firewall with full security, visibility, governance and regulatory compliance protections including encryption and a centralized audit trail, eliminating the shortcomings of conventional alternatives such as FTP and free Web-based file sharing.
- Cloud communication services for SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS), used to ensure legally compliant exchange of data with customs authorities around the world.
"ISO 27001 is the gold standard of information security management. It signifies that a provider has a full range of physical and virtual security processes in place to maintain the integrity, privacy and availability of a customer's data," said Rohit Khanna, EVP, Global Strategy and Corporate Development, SEEBURGER. "This certification demonstrates that we consider the security of our managed services environment to be a top priority, making our cloud-based integration services a safe option for any organization that is expanding or upgrading their business integration infrastructure."
SEEBURGER managed services customers have the option to bring their e-business infrastructure in-house at any time without purchasing a completely new solution because SEEBURGER utilizes the same platform for both licensed and managed services deployments. For more information, visit http://www.seeburger.com/cloud-managed-services.html

WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data?

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it.

Effective prophylactic vaccines are available against human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, and 18 which are licensed for routine use among young women. Monitoring is needed to demonstrate protection against cervical cancer, to verify duration of protection, and assess replacement frequency of non-vaccine types among vaccinated cohorts.
Data from a population-based study were used to assess the type-specific prevalence of HPV in a non-vaccinated population in Estonia: 845 self-administered surveys and self-collected vaginal swabs were distributed, 346 were collected by mail and tested for HPV DNA from female participants 18-35 years of age.
The overall HPV prevalence (weighted estimate to account for the sampling method) in the study population (unvaccinated women aged 18-35) was calculated to be 38% (95% CI 31-45%), with estimated prevalences of high- and low-risk HPV types 21% (95% CI 16-26%), and 10% (95% CI 7-14%), respectively. Of the high-risk HPV types, HPV 16 was detected most frequently (6.4%; 95% CI 4.0-9.8%) followed by HPV 53 (4.3%; 95% CI 2.3-7.2%) and HPV 66 (2.8%; 95% CI 1.3-5.2%).
We observed a high prevalence of total and high-risk type HPV in an Eastern European country. The most common high-risk HPV types detected were HPV 16, 53, and 66.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is thought to be the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world [1]. Genital HPV types are categorized according to their epidemiological association with cervical cancer. Infections with low-risk types, such as HPV types 6 and 11, can cause benign or low grade changes in cervical cells, genital warts, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. High-risk HPV types can cause cervical, anal, and other genital cancers. High-risk HPV types are detected in 99% of cervical cancers, and worldwide approximately 70% of cervical cancers are due to HPV types 16 and 18 [2]. Many developed countries have licensed vaccines that are highly effective against HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18 for prophylactic use among young females [3]. With widespread use of the vaccine, decreases in the prevalence of HPV types covered by the vaccine would be expected [4]. Close monitoring is needed to demonstrate protection against cervical cancer, to verify duration of protection, and assess the replacement frequency of non-vaccine types among vaccinated cohorts, and potential barriers to vaccination coverage [5,6]. However, before a vaccination program is undertaken, baseline HPV disease burden must be assessed to gauge the efficacy of the program and the vaccine itself. To date, there are limited data on the prevalence of HPV among women living in eastern European countries. We have therefore studied the pre-vaccine prevalence of different types of HPV in Estonia.
An age-stratified (18-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35) random sample of 845 women aged 18-35 years was derived from the Estonian Population Registry list for Tartu city (the second largest city in the country) and county residents (from a total of 22,904 women aged 18-35). The Estonian Population Registry is an electronic database containing personal data about people residing in Estonia.
Study procedures
Data collection was conducted from September 2005 to May 2006. Each participant was mailed a package containing a specimen collection kit (a cotton swab for vaginal swabbing on a plastic handle packed in an individual reclosable plastic sleeve; Eurotubo® Collection swab, Deltalab, S.L.I., Barcelona, Spain), collection instructions and an informed consent form attached to a 35-item questionnaire requesting socio-demographic characteristics, sexual behaviour, and health care utilization data. For specimen collection, participants were instructed to wash their hands before opening the swab, to hold the swab by the end of the handle, to insert the foam swab into the vagina as if inserting a tampon, to gently turn the swab during a count of 10, and to replace the swab in the plastic sleeve, avoiding contact with the external genitalia.
Self-collected specimens (vaginal swabs) were mailed directly to the laboratory, in pre-stamped, pre-addressed envelopes. The swabs were transported in a dry state. Earlier studies have documented good performance of NAAT assays for the detection of HPV (and other genital pathogens) using self-obtained vaginal swabs shipped in a dry state to a laboratory [7-10]. Samples were tested in the ISO 15 189 accredited diagnostics laboratory of Quattromed HTI Laboratories Ltd. Study procedures complied with local regulations regarding mailing of biological materials. (Detailed description of the study design is provided elsewhere [11].)
Laboratory methods
Specimen processing and DNA isolation
The vaginal swabs were held for up to three days at 4°C prior to DNA extraction. Material from swab specimens was suspended in PBS and collected by centrifugation at 16,060G for 20 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the pellet was resolved in PBS. DNA was extracted using the High Pure PCR Template Preparation Kit (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Mannheim, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Amplification of the human β-globin gene was performed to confirm the integrity of the DNA in the samples [12].
HPV genotyping
Human papillomaviruses were detected by single-round PCR using the degenerated oligo primers MY09/11 and HMB01 as described by Gravitt et al. [13] using an Eppendorf Mastercycler (Hamburg, Germany). The PCR products were detected by ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel electrophoresis. All positive results were genotyped by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis as described in Mejer et al. [14] The HPV genotypes were classified using the systems proposed by Dunne EF et al. and Munos et al. [4,15] The following HPV types were classified as high-risk: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, 82 including probable high-risk types 26, 53, 66. Types 6, 11, 40, 42, 43, 44, 54, 61, 70, 72, 81 and 89 were classified as low-risk.
Statistical analysis
The HPV prevalence was calculated from the number of positive cases divided by the number of tested specimens. Weighted estimates of population prevalence were computed to adjust for the stratified sampling utilized in the study. Correlates of HPV prevalence were explored using the chi-square test for proportions, and multiple logistic regression analysis to assess confounding and interaction between variables. Factors with p < 0.05 in bivariate analysis were entered in a multivariate comparison. A conceptual framework approach was used for the multivariable analysis [16]. All analyses were performed with statistical software R (version 2.2.1 for Windows).
Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Review Board of the University of Tartu and the Institutional Review Board of the State University of New York at Albany. The study followed data protection legislation requirements from the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate. Study participants received no financial incentive for participation.
Study sample and socio-demographic characteristics
Study invitations reached 86% (723/845) of the targeted sample but 122 individuals could not be reached because the packet was undeliverable (e.g., moved, wrong address). These subjects were excluded from the analysis.
Women who returned the questionnaire or self-collected a vaginal sample (n = 346) were compared with those who did not (n = 377) using population registry data. There was no statistically significance difference in response proportion according to age, residency or ethnicity (data not shown) [11].
Respondents ranged in age from 18 to 35 years (mean 26.9, SD 5.5). Two out of three participants were either married (23%) or living with a sexual partner (41%).
HPV DNA Prevalence Overall and by Age
Of the 326 adequate specimens available for HPV DNA testing, 37% (95% CI 31-44%) were positive for any HPV DNA. After weighting for the source population distribution, the prevalence estimate was 38% (95% CI 31-45%) (Table 1). While the overall HPV prevalence was highest in the 21-25-year age group, greater high- risk HPV prevalence was documented for the youngest age group (aged 18-20 years).
Table 1. HPV prevalence among women in Estonia by age group (data from DNA analysis of self-collected vaginal swabs, 2006)
Prevalence of High-Risk, Low-Risk, and Specific Types
The overall prevalence of high- and low-risk HPV types was 21% (95% CI 16-26%) and 10% (95% CI 7-14%), respectively. The prevalence of unidentified HPV types was 7% (95% CI 4-10%). The most common HPV types detected were HPV 16, 53, 66 (high-risk types), and HPV 61, 81 (low-risk types) (Table 2).
Table 2. Type-specific HPV DNA prevalence amongst women in Estonia, 2006
Factors Associated With HPV DNA Detection
Detection of HPV DNA was significantly correlated in the bivariate analysis with age, and sexual behaviour (ever having sex, young age at debut, and higher number of sexual partners within the last 12 months). However, HPV DNA was detected in 6% of females who reported never having had sex. The final multivariate model demonstrated that age (> 26, OR = 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.9), age above 18 years at first sexual intercourse (OR = 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.8), and increasing numbers of sexual partners in the last 12 months (OR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.4-4.5) were independently associated with HPV DNA detection (Table 3).

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. It is the sixth most frequent cancer among Estonian women of all ages, and the second most frequent cancer among young Estonian women (aged between 15 and 44 years) [17]. The availability of effective HPV vaccines has prompted a discussion about their use within public health vaccine programs. Geographical data on the HPV type distribution for women with cervical cancers as well as among women in the general population are essential for estimating the impact of cervical screening and vaccination programs [18]. Several recent studies have documented pre-vaccination HPV prevalence [4,19-23] varying according to the study design (sampling), study cohorts (clinic based, population based) and time period. These studies have typically used cervical samples obtained during a gynecological examination in the context of routine screening. In countries where cervical cancer screening is not widely implemented, such studies may not represent the general population and a non-invasive method acceptable to a representative sample of women is needed. One such option is the self-obtained vaginal sample. Several studies have documented that self-sampling has similar sensitivity to physician-obtained sampling to detect HPV DNA, suggesting that it is a viable screening option and may be a suitable alternative method for studies on HPV transmission and vaccine trials [24,25]. Studies utilizing HPV DNA testing of asymptomatic women in the general population estimate the prevalence of HPV infection to be in the range of 2-44% [26]. Self-collected vaginal samples likely pick up a mixture of cervical and vaginal cells. Previous analyses have established that genotypes within phylogenetic species tend to be similar with respect to the anatomic site of infection [27,28]. Studies comparing HPV detection in paired cervical and vaginal specimens have shown that the carcinogenic HPV types (alpha9 phylogenetic species, i.e. HPV 16) have a similar affinity for vaginal and cervical epithelium (resulting in similar recorded prevalences for any carcinogenic HPV type in vaginal and cervical specimens) [28], but non-carcinogenic HPV types of the alpha3/alpha15 (i.e. HPV 61) phylogenetic species may have a stronger affinity for vaginal epithelium [28].
Consistent with published data, we found that HPV 16 was the most prevalent HPV type (6.4%). We found a relatively low HPV 18 prevalence. In the light of studies documenting similar prevalence of any high-risk HPV in paired cervical and vaginal specimens this finding is of importance [28,29], and we would expect to see a low prevalence of HPV 18 in cervical samples from the same population. A low prevalence of HPV 18 among women from post-Soviet countries has been documented in other studies [30]. HPV 6 and 11 (alpha10 phylogenetic species) are relatively rarely isolated from vaginal/cervical specimens (HPV 6 < 1.5% and HPV 11 < 0.5% from cervical and vaginal specimens in Castle et al 2007 [29]; HPV 6 < 2% and HPV 11 < 0.5% from cervical specimens in Butsch Kovacic et al 2006 [31]; and HPV 6 from vaginal specimens either physician or patient-collected < 3.5% in Moscicki et al [32]), findings that are similar to those in our study.
Based on the most recent studies (Table 4) we surmise that Estonia represents a typical eastern European country with higher HPV and high-risk HPV prevalences than those reported from neighboring countries with well-developed population-based cervical cancer screening programs (i.e. Finland, Sweden, Denmark).
Table 4. Studies describing HPV and high-risk type-specific prevalence from different countries
The overall HPV prevalence in our study population was high with the highest overall HPV prevalence among those aged 21-25 years (and the highest prevalence of high-risk HPV occurring in the 18-20 year age group) and declining with age. It is well known that sexually active young adults are most at risk for acquiring HPV. Beside young age, predictors of HPV infection included younger age at first sexual intercourse and higher number of sexual partners in the 12 months before the study. Our results are also in line with existing information on HPV epidemiology [26,33,34].
Our study has several limitations. This study was not originally designed to assess HPV prevalence, thus we do not have data on cervical cytology from participating women. The degree to which the study is representative of the general population may be affected by the low response rate and selection factors associated with response. It is very probable that non-responders and women who were not reachable are at higher risk of exposure to HPV. However, in our study, the probability of not responding was not related to ethnicity, residency or age, despite the correlation between young age and infection. Also, we were unable to include preadolescent women as this would have been ethically unjustifiable and impractical from a logistical standpoint. While it is reasonable to assume that the prevalence estimates from this study are somewhat inflated due to selective participation, the estimate is probably better than that based on traditional clinic-based findings which are not representative in Estonia.
Several factors affecting cervical cancer control are changing, including a better understanding of the natural history of HPV, reliable assays for detecting high-risk HPV infections, and the availability of effective preventive vaccines. However, there are important differences in the relevant policy questions for different settings. Local data including information on HPV (type specific) prevalence is needed for modeling in a decision analytic framework to identify those factors most likely to influence outcomes, provide insight into the cost-effectiveness of different strategies, and assist in early decision-making when weighed against equity, public preferences, and political and cultural constraints. Our study provides valuable baseline data about prevalence and type distribution of HPV prior to the introduction of HPV vaccination.
