Our mission is to challenge the public's acceptance that treatment for childhood cancer requires painful and embarrassing side-effects and life-long health disabilities, isolation from friends and family, and short and long-term psychological devastation. By educating the public about scientific breakthroughs in genetic childhood cancer research that are within reach but seriously underfunded, we can quickly raise money to fund research grants and provide seed money to researchers for new studies. By seeing how close we are to more humane treatment for childhood cancer, we know the public will demand better treatments, now.

| FDIC's Bair Says Regulators Let Profits Mask Risk - ABC News Posted: 14 Jan 2010 07:05 AM PST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Financial regulators, lulled into inaction by soaring bank and Wall Street profits, failed to protect Americans from the 2008 financial crisis, senior U.S. officials told an investigative panel on Thursday. In testimony that urged stricter oversight in future while admitting past errors, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp Chairman Sheila Bair headlined a second day of public hearings by Congress' Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. "Not only did market discipline fail to prevent the excesses of the last few years, but the regulatory system also failed in its responsibilities," she said. "Record profitability within the financial services industry also served to shield it from some forms of regulatory second-guessing," Bair told the commission. When financial firms are making money, even amid questions about how they are doing it, it can be difficult for regulators "to take away the punch bowl," she said. The 10-member panel, in its first public hearing on Wednesday, heard a tale of misjudgments and regret from top banking executives, but got no outright apology or any new explanations for the debacle that shook world markets. The bankers acknowledged taking on too much risk and having choked on their own financial cooking in the subprime mortgage market, but they defended their pay packages and the huge size of their businesses in the face of proposals to break them up. The commission, chaired by former California State Treasurer Phil Angelides, is beginning its work amid rising public fury over the crisis, its aftermath and what to do to prevent something like it from happening again. President Barack Obama said on Thursday he was determined to impose a fee on big banks to ensure all taxpayer money used to bail them out was recovered. The banking titans set off a media circus on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, but the regulators met with a half-empty hearing room. Discussion between them and the panel was more subdued than the sometimes combative exchanges with the bankers. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| Dow Jones Story Falsely Claims That Executive Chairman Robert ... - Stockhouse Posted: 14 Jan 2010 08:24 AM PST SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE, Jan 14, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN)(NYSE: IVN)(NASDAQ: IVN) Executive Chairman Robert Friedland said today that there is no truth to a story distributed today by the Dow Jones news service alleging that he is conducting a sale of his 23% founder's stake in Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. "I am surprised that the Dow Jones organization would publish an imaginary story using only anonymous sources and making no effort whatsoever to contact me to establish whether or not the story was true. This story is false. Dow Jones should publicly correct the record that it has created today, to the concern of Ivanhoe Mines' shareholders." Mr. Friedland announced last week that Ivanhoe Mines had retained leading global investment banking firm Citi and independent mining-sector specialist Hatch Corporate Finance to evaluate and advise the company on a range of strategic options to further enhance shareholder value. Citi and Hatch are assisting Ivanhoe's management to evaluate a range of options during coming months. Options include, but are not limited to, potential equity/debt offerings, a credit facility, the sale of subsidiaries, equity investments, project financing and/or various corporate transactions. However, Mr. Friedland said that no specific transaction is being considered at this time. Ivanhoe Mines' shares are listed on the New York, NASDAQ and Toronto stock exchanges under the symbol IVN.

| Syncada Names Kurt Schneiber Chief Executive Officer - Investors Business Daily Posted: 14 Jan 2010 08:09 AM PST MINNEAPOLIS, Jan 14, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Syncada has named Kurt Schneiber the company's chief executive officer. Schneiber is responsible for the overall management of Syncada's business, with a special emphasis on business development, as the company works with new financial institutions to leverage its worldwide business-to-business payment network. Syncada's executive management team, including Richard Langer, chief operating officer, will report to Schneiber, and he will report to the company's board of managers. As an accomplished business leader, Schneiber brings more than 20 years of global financial services business development, management and marketing experience to Syncada. Most recently, he was the president of Fortent, a privately-held technology firm specializing in regulatory compliance for financial institutions. Prior to Fortent, Schneiber worked more than 15 years in business building and management roles at Citigroup, including executive director for Citi's student loan business where he also served as chairman of the board of ELM Resources. In addition, among other leadership roles in Global Transaction Services, he headed the global power, energy and chemical sector and he was the marketing director and cards business manager for Citi's consumer business in India. Formed in July 2009, Syncada is a complete global financial supply chain network. The company is a joint venture between Visa and U.S. Bank, providing a business-to-business network for corporations and governments to process and monitor invoices, make and receive payments around the world, and finance payables or receivables through local and global financial institutions. Syncada allows financial institutions of all sizes to offer their clients standardized business-to-business invoice processing, financing and payment services across a variety of payment types and local currencies. "We believe Kurt will be instrumental in helping Syncada add participants and grow the business into a truly global network," said Darren Parslow, head of global commercial solutions, Visa Inc. "Bringing additional buyers, suppliers and financial institutions on board will enable Syncada to deliver greater value to each participant." "I am excited to take on this new role at Syncada," Schneiber said. "I have been enormously impressed with Syncada's technology and business. We have a unique opportunity to build a multi-bank network that businesses can use to automate invoice processing, corporate payments and supply chain financing." Syncada also announced that Steven Coleman has joined Syncada as the chief legal officer and secretary. Previously, Coleman acted as executive vice president, general counsel and secretary for eFunds Corporation, a transaction processing and risk management company serving financial institutions, from March 2000 until the sale of that company in late 2007.
