Funding in Brief: $10M for Spongecell, $8M for Prolexic
ADOTAS – Rich media ad company Spongecell has raised $10 million of funding in a Series B round. Safeguard Scientifics led the round, which brings Spongecell's total funds raised to about $14 million. Previous investors to date include Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Raptor Capital's James Pallotta and Bob Pittman's Pilot Group.
Spongecell creates display ads with interactive functions, including video and social feeds, and like a lot of similar firms, it's particularly gung-ho about video at the moment. Though it was reportedly struggling financially just a few years ago, CEO Ben Kartzman has cited revenue growth in 2011 of more than twice its 2010 revenue (which was $3.8 million, and Kartzman hasn't given a specific figure to the 2011 total).
The funding will, according to Kartzman, go towards expanding existing product lines and adding new ones, while building up Spongecell's staff.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services company Prolexic Technologies announced it's raised $8 million in funding. Camden Partners led this round. This comes after two funding rounds in 2011, both led by Kennet Partners, netted the company $15.9 million. Camden Partners principal Jason Tagler also joins Prolexic's board.
DDoS protection ties into a business' continuity and disaster recovery plan, and Prolexic is rising in that niche. In a statement, CEO Scott Hammack cited 55 percent growth in the last quarter alone, and he pointed out that since the company was profitable in 2011, it didn't technically need the funding.
According to Prolexic, the new funding will go towards building up its staff, network and services.

Don't you hate it when you have a nice clean car, but the headlights look

IBM chips into EnterpriseDB love fund
IBM is putting some of its financial muscle behind the business trying to rival Sun Microsystems' MySQL, pushing PostgreSQL. The systems giant and a trio of VCs have pledged $10m in the latest round of funding for EnterpriseDB. That brings the start-up's total funding to $37.5m. The size of IBM's commitment has not been …
Perhaps the PostgreSQL project should give these guys two fingers and simply call themselves PostgreSQL++
This is an example of brand identity theft.
Sun and Postres
what everybody seems to be forgetting is that Sun also sells and supports PostgreSQL, so it isn't really competing against Sun... both postgres and mysql are part of Sun's stack
also, I agree with AC... this EnterpriseDB keeps saying their product is Postgres and that is opensource, when they only take the real Postgres, add some non-opensource stuff and sell it
IBM is not funding the postgres opensource DB, it's funding the closed enterpriseDB who knows for what...

Johnson optimistic over Moody
ESPNscrum Staff
August 8, 2011
Lewis Moody limped off during the second-half of England's win over Wales © Getty Images
England boss Martin Johnson remained bullish over Lewis Moody's chances of making the World Cup and is confident that his captain will be fit for rugby's showpiece tournament.
Moody limped out of Saturday's 23-19 win against Wales with a recurrence of the knee ligament problem that kept him sidelined for England's Six Nations title campaign. The England captain has had his right knee scanned and the results were today being studied by the team's medics, with a conclusion expected on Tuesday.
Johnson said: "The bad news would be that he has got an eight week injury that would put him out of the World Cup. I don't think it is going to put him out of the tournament, but we'll see.
"It is not great that he has got an injury, but I don't think it is on the very bad side of knee injuries."
Moody, who played with heavy strapping on his right leg, was confident on Saturday night that the injury was nothing more than a "tweak". The Bath flanker will not play in Saturday's return fixture against Wales at the Millennium Stadium and he has only featured in five games since suffering the original injury in January.
But Johnson, who has to finalise his 30-man World Cup squad on August 22, is not concerned by Moody's lack of game time ahead of the tournament in New Zealand.
"The guys like him, who have played a lot of rugby over the last 10 or 15 years, can handle that better than guys who are fairly new to it," said Johnson. "In an ideal world he is fit and available to play the next two (World Cup warm-up) games but we will have to see how it goes."
In Moody's absence, Mike Tindall captained England to their four Six Nations victories before handing over the reins to Nick Easter after injury ruled him out of the defeat to Ireland.

When I first got into prediction markets twenty five years ago, I called them "idea futures", and I focused on using them to reform how we deal with controversies in science and academia (see here, here, here, here). Lately I've focused on what I see as the much higher value application of advising decisions and reforming governance (see here, here, here, here). I've also talked a lot lately about what I see as the main social functions of academia (see here, here, here, here). Since prediction markets don't much help to achieve these functions, I'm not optimistic about the demand for using prediction markets to reform academia.
But periodically people do consider using prediction markets to reform academia, as did Andrew Gelman a few months ago. And a few days ago Scott Alexander, who I once praised for his understanding of prediction markets, posted a utopian proposal for using prediction markets to reform academia. These discussions suggest that I revisit the issue of how one might use prediction markets to reform academia, if in fact enough people cared enough about gaining accurate academic beliefs. So let me start by summarizing and critiquing Alexander's proposal.
Alexander proposes prediction markets where anyone can post any "theory" broadly conceived, like "grapes cure cancer." (Key quotes below.) Winning payouts in such market suffer a roughly 10% tax to fund experiments to test their theories, and in addition some such markets are subsidized by science patron orgs like the NSF. Bettors in each market vote on representatives who then negotiate to pick someone to pay to test the bet-on theory. This tester, who must not have a strong position on the subject, publishes a detailed test design, at which point bettors could leave the market and avoid the test tax. "Everyone in the field" must make a public prediction on the test. Then the test is done, winners paid, and a new market set up for a new test of the same question. Somewhere along the line private hedge funds would also pay for academic work in order to learn where they should bet.
That was the summary; here are some critiques. First, people willing to bet on theories are not a good source of revenue to pay for research. There aren't many of them and they should in general be subsidized not taxed. You'd have to legally prohibit other markets to bet on these without the tax, and even then you'd get few takers.
Second, Alexander says to subsidize markets the same way they'd be taxed, by adding money to the betting pot. But while this can work fine to cancel the penalty imposed by a tax, it does not offer an additional incentive to learn about the question. Any net subsidy could be taken by anyone who put money in the pot, regardless of their info efforts. As I've discussed often before, the right way to subsidize info efforts for a speculative market is to subsidize a market maker to have a low bid-ask spread.
Third, Alexander's plan to have bettors vote to agree on a question tester seems quite unworkable to me. It would be expensive, rarely satisfy both sides, and seems easy to game by buying up bets just before the vote. More important, most interesting theories just don't have very direct ways to test them, and most tests are of whole bundles of theories, not just one theory. Fourth, for most claim tests there is no obvious definition of "everyone in the field," nor is it obvious that everyone should have opinion on those tests. Forcing a large group to all express a public opinion seems a huge cost with unclear benefits.
OK, now let me review my proposal, the result of twenty five years of thinking about this. The market maker subsidy is a very general and robust mechanism by which research patrons can pay for accurate info on specified questions, at least when answers to those questions will eventually be known. It allows patrons to vary subsidies by questions, answers, time, and conditions.
Of course this approach does require that such markets be legal, and it doesn't do well at the main academic function of credentialing some folks as having the impressive academic-style mental features with which others like to associate. So only the customers of academia who mainly want accurate info would want to pay for this. And alas such customers seem rare today.
For research patrons using this market-maker subsidy mechanism, their main issues are about which questions to subsidize how much when. One issue is topic. For example, how much does particle physics matter relative to anthropology? This mostly seems to be a matter of patron taste, though if the issue were what topics should be researched to best promote economic growth, decision markets might be used to set priorities.
The biggest issue, I think, is abstraction vs. concreteness. At one extreme one can ask very specific questions like what will be the result of this very specific experiment or future empirical measurement. At the other extreme, one can ask very abstract questions like "do grapes cure cancer" or "is the universe infinite".
Very specific questions offer bettors the most protection against corruption in the judging process. Bettors need worry less about how a very specific question will be interpreted. However, subsidies of specific questions also target specific researchers pretty directly for funding. For example, subsidizing bets on the results of a very specific experiment mainly subsidizes the people doing that experiment. Also, since the interest of research patrons in very specific questions mainly results from their interest in more general questions, patrons should prefer to directly target the more general questions directly of interest to them.
Fortunately, compared to other areas where one might apply prediction markets, academia offers especially high hopes for using abstract questions. This is because academia tends to house society's most abstract conversations. That is, academia specializes in talking about abstract topics in ways that let answers be consistent and comparable across wide scopes of time, space, and discipline. This offers hope that one could often simply bet on the long term academic consensus on a question.
That is, one can plausibly just directly express a claim in direct and clear abstract language, and then bet on what the consensus will be on that claim in a century or two, if in fact there is any strong consensus on that claim then. Today we have a strong academic consensus on many claims that were hotly debated centuries ago. And we have good reasons to believe that this process of intellectual progress will continue long into the future.
Of course future consensus is hardly guaranteed. There are many past debates that we'd still find to hard to judge today. But for research patrons interested in creating accurate info, the lack of a future consensus would usually be a good sign that info efforts in that area less were valuable than in other areas. So by subsidizing markets that bet on future consensus conditional on such a consensus existing, patrons could more directly target their funding at topics where info will actually be found.
Large subsidies for market-makers on abstract questions would indirectly result in large subsidies on related specific questions. This is because some bettors would specialize in maintaining coherence relationships between the prices on abstract and specific questions. And this would create incentives for many specific efforts to collect info relevant to answering the many specific questions related to the fewer big abstract questions.
Yes, we'd probably end up with some politics and corruption on who qualifies to judge later consensus on any given question – good judges should know the field of the question as well as a bit of history to help them understand what the question meant when it was created. But there'd probably be less politics and lobbying than if research patrons choose very specific questions to subsidize. And that would still probably be less politics than with today's grant-based research funding.
Of course the real problem, the harder problem, is how to add mechanisms like this to academia in order to please the customers who want accuracy, while not detracting from or interfering too much with the other mechanisms that give the other customers of academia what they want. For example, should we subsidize high relevant prestige participants in the prediction markets, or tax those with low prestige?

Russian security forces on Wednesday killed a militant who may have helped to train the two suicide bombers who struck the southern city of Volgograd, investigators said.
The bombings of a train station and an electric trolleybus in late December killed 34 people and heightened security fears ahead of the Sochi Winter Olympics, which begin on Friday.
Russian law enforcement agencies have announced a series of developments in the case in recent days, including the identification of the suspected bombers and the arrests of two suspected accomplices.
Security forces on Wednesday surrounded a group of militants who had holed up in the Dagestani town of Izberbash, said Rasul Temirbekov, a spokesman for the Investigative Committee, a federal agency.
In an exchange of gunfire, security forces killed 30-year-old Dzhamaldin Mirzayev, who was suspected of having been involved in training the bombers and sending them to Volgograd, Temirbekov said.
Russia's counterterrorism agency say the two suspected bombers, Asker Samedov and Suleiman Magomedov, were members of a terrorist group in Dagestan, a republic in Russia's North Caucasus region that is the center of an Islamic insurgency.
Two brothers detained last week in Dagestan were believed to have helped the bombers travel to Volgograd, about 650 kilometers (400 miles) to the north, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said.
The leader of the Caucasus Emirate, an umbrella group for militants seeking to establish an independent Islamic state in the North Caucasus, has urged his followers to strike the Winter Olympics.
Russia has put in place sweeping security measures in Sochi, which sits just a few hundred kilometers (miles) west of the North Caucasus.

Franklin — The Police Department is investigating a robbery at KFC, 6311 S. 27th St., on Friday.
Sgt. Kevin Magno said the department received a call about the robbery just after 10 p.m. when the restaurant was closing, and officers were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Officers from Franklin, Greenfield and Oak Creek, including Oak Creek's canine unit, responded to the restaurant but were unable to find any suspects.
Officers are still gathering information on three suspects who brandished a undisclosed weapon, including pulling surveillance video, Magno said.
No one was injured during the robbery and an undisclosed amount of money was taken.
Anyone with information regarding the armed robbery at KFC should contact Magno or Detective Kevin Liermann at (414) 425-2522.

AMD Will Post A New Catalyst Linux Driver Today
Published on 14 January 2014 10:00 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
15 Comments
For those Linux users that may have their hands on AMD Kaveri APUs early or are just looking for a new Catalyst Linux driver in hopes of new bug-fixes, AMD will release today their "AMD 4th Generation APU launch driver" to the public.
The Kaveri APU launch driver is part of the fglrx 13.30 series and it's what I've been using in my
AMD A10-7850K Kaveri Linux testing
. It's not too much of a surprise seeing a new driver release for launch day as AMD has been kicking up with same-day support for Linux for several years now -- going back to the Radeon HD 4800 series -- with their Catalyst driver. If you're hoping for some major breakthroughs though with the new Catalyst Linux driver release, you will likely be disappointed.
In my testing of the driver over the past few days there were no major changes in OpenGL performance for existing Radeon hardware, there isn't any official Linux 3.13 kernel compatibility, and I didn't see any major bug-fixes. In fact, for some GPUs the fglrx 13.30.1 driver tested just led to problems with Unigine tests locking up for select GPUs.
Stay tuned for more details when the AMD Catalyst Linux driver is publicly released today. For details on using the open-source AMD Radeon Gallium3D driver with Kaveri, read
my earlier article
. Stay tuned for the AMD Kaveri Linux benchmark results shortly; coming out today will be Windows 8.1 vs. Ubuntu Linux AMD APU numbers.

Kauto Star 'amazing' in assessment for possible switch to dressage
Kauto Star won five King Georges and two Cheltenham Gold Cups
Wednesday 12 December 2012
Laura Collett has enjoyed her first experience of riding Kauto Star as she prepares to assess his suitability for a potential dressage career.
The retired National Hunt superstar, who won five King Georges and two Cheltenham Gold Cups, was required to make an early departure from his stable in Somerset after a difference of opinions between trainer Paul Nicholls and owner Clive Smith.
While Nicholls hoped Kauto Star could remain with the staff at Manor Farm Stables in Ditcheat, Smith felt Kauto Star should try a new discipline.
He asked Collett, a decorated event rider at junior levels and aspiring Olympian for 2016, to work with the gelding along with long-time British manager and coach Yogi Breisner.
The 22-year-old Collett received Kauto Star on Tuesday afternoon and tweeted on Wednesday morning: "I am officially the LUCKIEST girl in the world right now.... I have just ridden Kauto Star...
"He is a truly amazing horse... Felt like a fresh 4yo which is all credit to PFNicholls and his team. I am honoured."

Spring 2011
Michael Kors
September 15, 2010
Location: New York
The Vibe for Spring 2011:
Creamy linen, bronzed skin, high cheek bones—pretty much a fail-safe recipe for summer fabulousness. And if you've ever glanced at a Michael Kors show before, you know it's true to his vision of the sunny-year-round life where your next gin and tonic is only a cabana boy away. This season maybe a bit more boho than some past—crocheted tank tops, strappy brown artisanal belts, floppy pajama pants, just-woke-up hammock hair—but even the glamorous set needs to take it easy now and then.

Kinda hoped the Hacking tools would be used for some touch screen gimmicks. I mean, I'm not big on touch screen gimmicks, but it just sounds too natural for this game...oh well. I'll probably pick this up some time next year, since the more I watch, the more I get into what it really is and not simply what I expected or (quite frankly) was promised it would be.
Yay Smash! I forgot about that Beldum. I'll have to order that Pokemon immediately sooner in January than I thought...
Was hoping for Lufia, but I'll live.
Yes! I could never get ahold of this game back in the day. Finally, a GBA VC game I need!
Also: If this is any bit as good as the 3DS game, I'll be having a blast, and I'm not much of a Smash fan. That game I can agree that it's made with a more polished and competitive feel, to the point where a fighter junkie like me can appreciate it without it feeling uninviting. I think getting Namco was a good move there, since Tekken and Soul Caliber are/were like that as well.
Pending the score is smart, online's a big component...why isn't it available to reviewers at least already? That's weird...not that it matters. The real test will be when millions of people try to play it at once...
@LunaticPandora So you won't bother defending that point when I begin pulling it apart, seeing as there's no possible way it would ever make sense? That's no fun...
Wait, so they did a kickstarter, which proved that no one wanted their game, and now they're putting it out on platforms that already have the juggernaut that is Minecraft, expecting to have a better turnout? Are they insane?!
Oh neat, Mighty Gunvolt's gonna be a little cheaper than I expected. And I guess I better get a move-on with playing my 3DS eShop games, especially the Gunvolts, so I'm ready for the DLC whenever it hits.
I like that the PSVita managed to make second on the chart this week, since Japan's actually been getting a lot of Vita support, even if a lot of it is still multiplats.
@BensonUii To be fair, Watch_Dogs by all accounts is better as a stealth game than an action game. It can be action-heavy, though.
This looks okay as a sneaking title. Too bad I don't like Stealth that much and I have much better options, like Dishonored, and...some old games...okay, maybe not a lot of choices, but enough to severely lower my interests.
Battle Frontier was cool. It'd be a shame if it was gone. Wouldn't be a deal-breaker, though. I'll pick this game up in January.
Woah, I didn't know Pilot Wings was on the Wii U shop! I want that...
Oh for a second there I thought those themes were the names of games and I was like, "Nintendo, since when did you allow fangames on your shop?"
I actually saw some gameplay footage. At first I was a bit iffy when I listened to what I thought was the developer talk about the gameplay...but it turned out to be a random youtuber who probably didn't even know what he was talking about...
Will pick it up when it comes to the US.
Oh my God! I forgot about the Pokemon TCG! Imma get that ASAP!
Okay, now you have my attention, Gamefreak....
"Hopefully won't sell for $90 used"
...oh it will. That's why "exclusive" toys even exist...
I'm just glad the...only 4 Good Mario games made the list. That's the most I could possibly hope for from the Mario fanbase....
Nice, I saw the Backloggery guys play Elite Forces and thought it looked awesome. Definitely gonna pick that up iwhen it hits NA.
@CosmoXY Actually...yes I am. That event was literally the only reason I wanted a remake of a game that killed my interest in Pokemon for 5 years. :/
However, thank you @HopeNForever for pointing out that this isn't the only way to get to the Mirage Spots...seriously, Thomas, you wrote the article that explained that. C'mon, man...
AC3D was a remake of AC2?! BRB, headed to Amazon!
"I hope those that haven't played the original game, and those of you that played it but gave up mid-way through will take this opportunity to give the new version a try."
It's like they're speaking directly to me...fine, I'll keep my eye on it. I did love the story and the atmosphere in the original, but the gameplay definitely needed work...
Oh thank god, for a second there I thought I'd actually have to run out and buy this soon. Looks like my money gets to stay in my wallet for now.
@Kobeskillz I also didn't think Rugratz in Paris on the Game Boy Color didn't have terrible controls when I was that age. Doesn't mean the controls were actually good. And for the record, I do have an actual NES hooked up to a CRT with a copy of SMB that I got for $5. I do like the game - it's the best 2D Mario in my opinion based purely on its pace and level design - but much like how I wouldn't call Monster Hunter's tedious controls good, or wouldn't call any aspect of Sonic Adventure's gameplay good despite having played through it so many times I could probably beat the game blindfolded, I'm not going to call the controls in SMB good simply because I'm willing to put up with its crappiness simply to get the good.
Also, I said Super Mario World's controls sucked before it was cool.
@Caryslan You hit the nail on the head. I mean, I still don't like the newer Mario games as much as the original, but I do like having the feeling of more control in them than in the original SMB (except for World, that one's just an enigma...). It's like how as good as the first Mega Man is, the not-so-spot-on controls really do make it harder to get into than its later brethren.
@dkxcalibur That's not an opinion, that's business logic. But according to the internet, clearly businesses don't know what they're doing, not rushing this game out the door just to release in a crowded time period where 5 big-time games just came out and plenty more are on the way...
Oh My God, Finally somebody gets it! Seriously, I've played a lot of platformers, and Mario's controls throw me off every time...
(That said, Wonderboy's controls aren't super tight either, at least in the Monster World ones like Dragon's Trap. (Never played the first Wonderboy) i do find them a bit easier to get used to, especially by Monster World IV, but they're still not games I can easily jump into without messing with the controls for a while)
Disappointing. Maybe now I can pick up some more VC games...still not getting Pier Solar until this comes out, btw.
@Seanmyster6 there's quite a lengthy list on Wikipedia actually. Like, 30 glitches or something like that...
@Yogsoggoth Same here. I'd take stretched, fuzzy sprites over having to squint the entire time...
Pier Solar I'll get once Citizens of Earth's out. I'm also interested in Super Mario Advance, but I might just get the NES version instead unless the NES version is kinda glitchy...
I'll get The Swapper eventually, but it's out at a bad time - too many games out at once! I'll wait for a discount if only because that's the only way it'll be bumped up high enough on the list of things to buy to make it this decade.
Call of Duty would be nice, but I can always play that on my PS3, so...
But yeah, I agree that having strong exclusives to attract a different audience is for the best, even if that decision comes with sacrifices.
I counted 6 that I'm looking forward to. Not a bad number.
@BensonUii Correction, now I need to mentally bump this up to a 9. Seriously, I didn't even need to read it. I'm familiar with that reviewer, he is not qualified to review an old-school RPG in my eyes, and saying "I disagree with his reviews" would be a gross understatement. The worst points either reviewer have mentioned (besides the story, which...I can't say for sure, but most of the dialogue I've read, including the examples in this review, aren't bad at all. I actually kinda liked some of them) are the long battle sequences and the limited amount of enemies. The former is okay for me at least, since I have a lot of patience for long battle sequences. I mean, having a lot of patience is kind of a prerequisite for playing an old-school RPG. The latter...I don't think I've ever played an old school RPG that ever had more than 5 or 6 enemy types in any given area, at least ones where the enemy types actually mattered...so while it's less than usual, I don't think it's an extreme difference. And if I've put up with FFX - where there were only 6 or 7 enemy types in the entire game, albeit palette swapped a lot, I don't think that kind of problem could really phase me.
The developers of this game set out to make an authentic old-school RPG, warts and all, and it sounds like they succeeded in that area, so as far as I'm concerned, it's a success.
...I have a feeling I'm not gonna be bothered by most of your complaints. I'll just mentally bump that score up to an 8 and call it a day.
This sounds decent for what it is, especially since aside from HM3 (which also lacks the major features of the console counterparts apparently), we're unlikely to get any full 2D Harvest Moon games on the 3DS VC. Shame, since I'd like to play More Friends of Mineral Town someday...
After Burner and Outrun must be mine!
@WingedSnagret That was on purpose since that's the very idea of the game...
@SahashraLA I wasn't a big fan of the first CQ, but the handful of reviews and impressions I've read of the sequel seem to all say it's "more of the same, if not a little worse". Shame, since I too was hoping the sequel would be improved. Oh well. At least Demon's Crest is good stuff.
@Blue-Thunder Yes, a double negative = a positive. I didn't know why people are finding that sentence hard to understand...
@Pod It's structured Like a Mega Man game. There are no difficulty spikes. You're just fighting the wrong boss. :/ With the right items, every boss is a breeze.
@ueI Lemme see...level design seems more like GnG, but a bit more verticle and explorable, with equipment and power-ups hidden throughtout each level, as well as rings and stuff you need to access the final stage. Levels are selectable, too, though your progression is linear. I guess saying its more like Demon's Crest is a bit of a stretch, but it still feels like they merged as much as they could from the spin-offs into Ultimate.
