Hey FriendFeed! Hookuh aka Amanda is one of the most fierce, tireless, loyal, awesome, and supportive people I know. She'll be running a half-marathon later this year to raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through Team In Training. - http://pages.teamintraining.org/gba...

Her story here of her brother Greg's battle against Leukemia is tragic and very moving. And as she says at the end, "I know that many of us are going through tough times financially, so anything you are able to donate is amazing and so very much appreciated. Thank you all so much for your love and support. Let's do this!"

Her fundraising goal is $2,500, and she's currently at $700. We need to get her at least halfway there by the recommit period, which is coming up soon -- c'mon, FF, can we raise $550 more by the end of the week?

Looks like a more luxurious version of a holiday I took in my youth with four friends; started in Athens too, then via Piraeus to Naxos, Ios, Paros, Syros, and Mykonos. We opted for the sleep out under the stars method because we weren't rich Norwegians. I imagine you'll have a wonderful time.

It was kind of tough to choose islands- Santorini (Thira) was our primary destination, Eivind wanted to see Rhodes, I wanted to see Crete, Eivind discovered something nerdy about Naxos and wanted to visit, and Ios and I have a special history (http://taoofcoffee.com/...). Sinfos was picked because of its natural beauty. As far as fancy digs- two nights will be spent on...

If you visit Naxos, you can consider Amorgos too. And another (less known but just beautiful) island in Northern Greece is Thassos. Enjoy your greek holidays, Kalimera from Greece :)

Lawsuit Filed To Prove Happy Birthday Is In The Public Domain; Demands Warner Pay Back Millions Of License Fees | Techdirt - http://www.techdirt.com/article...

"Happy Birthday remains the most profitable song ever. Every year, it is the song that earns the highest royalty rates, sent to Warner/Chappell Music (which makes millions per year from "licensing" the song). However, as we've been pointing out for years, the song is almost certainly in the public domain. Robert Brauneis did some fantastic work a few years ago laying out why the song's copyright clearly expired many years ago, even as Warner/Chappell pretends otherwise. You can read all the background, but there are a large number of problems with the copyright, including that the sisters who "wrote" the song, appear to have written neither the music, nor the lyrics. At best, they may have written a similar song called "Good Morning to All" in 1893, with the same basic melody, but there's evidence to suggest the melody itself predated the sisters. But, more importantly, the owner of the copyright (already questionable) failed to properly renew it in 1962, which would further establish...

It is, though it is one of the best examples of how egregious the current state of copyright is with regards to the "Disney" extension. Even if they were the originators, and even if it was properly renewed, this is something that should belong to everyone by now.

I have avoided the stage 4 cancer talk, for the brain they use a different term. If the tumor started in the brain, is normally does not spread. if it developed elsewhere then there is a problem. They think it is glioblastoma tumor. I have this period of time where I can type. I do not think I will have this in the next few days. this is the 4th room 2nd hospital since Friday. thank you for your prayers and support. I miss ff.

Still not official, but the team at csc believe it to be glioblastoma grade 4. The dr who talked to us today warned us about googling it. We may try something in addition to the radiation and chemo. It returns. Not sure yet what we will do. My wife is starting to use my name, and initiate sentences, she is short with me,which is better than silence. Hopefully her brain can rewire itself. I love her.
- Mike Nencetti
((hugs)) Glad she is responding to you, that is good. Once they have a firm diagnosis you can see what your options are, and what you might want to do. Try and get some rest, you need to take care of yourself, too. And if you have questions, write them down so you can remember to ask them. All the best, Mike, and let us know if you need anything.

And to witness the cancer survivors out there running too was awesome as well. I was lucky enough to train with two guys on my team who were survivors. One had cancer last year and the other is a 3-time leukemia survivor. Never underestimate the power of the human spirit. I will miss Team in Training and my team more than I have words to express. Thank you to everyone who donated to me in support of me and LLS. Love you guys!
