VICTORIA, British Columbia, Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --If you want a beautiful birthday cake, you need to do more than just throw the ingredients into the oven. Social networks are like that don't expect more than some half-baked ideas and a pile-up of opinions.

But if you share the vision that the Internet can also be a meeting place where you can work with others to resolve important issues, you will want to check out the site e-Deliberation.com, which is officially launched Monday, Oct. 1, 2012.

e-Deliberation.com Inc. is a Canadian company with head offices in Victoria and secure servers in Montreal. Established in 2010 by Jean-Daniel Cusin, a serial entrepreneur, the mission of eDeliberation is to bring the Internet experience to the next step: enable people globally to mutually connect, deliberate and collaboratively resolve issues that concern them.

e-Deliberation online events come in two versions: Free (public) and Premium (private).

For instance, community groups anywhere in the world can use it for free to deliberate about and resolve an issue they are concerned about.

Private e-Deliberation events are normally retained by organizations who wish to keep the event and its outcomes private or confidential. For instance, a corporation with offices across the country or internationally can convene a strategy-making e-Deliberation event to flesh out its 3 year plan.

The outcome of an e-Deliberation event is a multi-vectored, integrated strategy that comprehensively deals with the issue or challenge that was the focus of the event. This creates a critical mass of persons biased to actually see the strategy succeed.

The e-Deliberation process can accommodate between 15 and up to 80 participants for a given event. These participants work as a whole group as well as in smaller teams, with multiple feedback loops to ensure that no significant idea gets dropped. The process uses a consent-based approach so participants minority views have a chance to be considered.

Mr. Cusin's vision for e-Deliberation is forward thinking - "The events of the past few years have highlighted that when governance systems, be they geo-political or corporate, are controlled by a very few people at the top who are expected to master everything, it's a disaster. The world is too complex for that. Too many knowledge domains, too many stakeholders, jurisdictions, potential impacts If we are to advance as a civilization, we need to leverage the Internet to solve big problems by assembling the right minds and helping them get the job done. That is what we are doing with e-Deliberation."

The e-Deliberation site (https://www.e-deliberation.com) is now accessible globally for people to register and to organize e-Deliberation events for their community of interest.

Premium social networking site App.netfresh from beating its initial goal of 10,000 paying members by more than 10,000Monday announced changes to its pricing structure. The site hopes this move will grow App.net even more. App.net will now offer a monthly plan, and its $50 yearly membership has been cut by nearly a third.

With Mondays changes, the yearly fee is reduced to $36. Those that want to kick the tires on the service might be interested in App.nets new monthly plan, which sets you back $5 per month.

Now, paying for a social network seems to be a pretty radical idea in the Facebook era. However, App.net founder Dalton Caldwell believes that most social networking users are tired of the advertising that has taken over these types of site sites. In turn, he thinks that people will pay for a service free of ads. App.net was created based on this idea, has no advertising, and is fully member supported.

Users of Twitter might find the way App.net works familiar, as the social network's structure mimics the way the micro-blogging site worksusing hashtags, @ replies, and the like. Twitter users may be who App.net wants to target:Initial backers of App.net were invited to join the service and claim their Twitter username.

App.net appears to be a welcome change from the likes of Facebook and Twitter, both of which seem to have an insatiable desire to sell us just about anything and the desire to use our personal data to do it. At the same time, how many Internet users actually want to pay for something that we can get free just about everywhere else?

CHICAGO - A new form of breast cancer treatment may be smallpox?

What was once a feared killer of millions of people may someday be used to treat one of the most dangerous forms of breast cancer. So far it's worked in mice, and researchers are encouraged.

The researchers, from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, have found that a vaccine made from a virus from the smallpox family can be used in the treatment of a certain type of breast cancer, called triple-negative breast cancer or TNBC.

This form of breast cancer is especially difficult to treat because it is not sensitive to the special hormonal and immune therapies that many other forms of breast cancer are. These tumors can be often be treated with some chemotherapy, but they tend to be more aggressive and recur more often.

"We still don't have an understanding as to why this cancer is so aggressive and tends to recur after treatment," said Dr. Sepideh Gholami, the lead study author and a surgical resident at Stanford University Medical Center. "One of the reasons I wanted to focus on TNBC is that there aren't many long-term treatment options."

It is estimated that about 10 to 20 percent of all breast cancer cases are triple-negative. It is particularly prevalent in women under the age of 35.

Study findings presented today at the 2012 Annual Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons showed that the new vaccinia virus, called GLV-1h164, was able to enter cells and cause destruction of the tumor, as well as prevent blood vessel growth in the tumors in mouse animal models, resulting in significant tumor destruction.

Since smallpox vaccines have been given to billions of people to eradicate smallpox, this new vaccine will likely have a similar level of safety. However, its use as a therapy in patients with triple negative breast cancer would require a clinical trial to evaluate its effectiveness.
