LAKE DELTON, Wis. (AP) -- The state has ordered a roller coaster at a Wisconsin Dells area resort closed after a rider was severely injured in a fall.
WISC-TV reports the state Department of Safety and Professional Services cited four code violations on the Mount Olympus ride and noted the lap bar that came open was "defective."
Lake Delton police say 63-year-old Anthony Theisen fell nearly 17 feet from the roller coaster to the concrete floor at the indoor theme park March 6. His attorney, Todd Korb, says he came out of a coma Monday, but the long term effects of his brain injury are unknown.
A Mount Olympus statement says the state's findings about the lap bars are inconsistent with what their internal investigation. But they note they've permanently closed the ride.

Location, pool, food and especially wine.
everything was great.
Sylvia the owner was down to earth. Staff was very professional and accommodating. The views were absolutely amazing. Restaurant was truly an amazing experience. The wine superior! Breathtaking experience.
Wish staff could have been able to communicate in English language a bit better.
The staff where amazing... Reception staff especially. The old villa so charming and atmospheric. The breakfast the garden the view . Had a lovely time.
More umbrellas needed around the pool ... The restaurant food was lovely but a bit old fashioned.
I loved this hotel. The grounds are beautiful as is the panorama. Our room was large and very tastefully furnished. There is a lot of common space--terraces and outdoor dining if the weather is good, a beautiful dining room, a gazebo for drinks and tea, etc. A marvelous daily breakfast is included. All in all, a real delight
Staff was lackadaisical. Dinner at the famous restaurant was quite disappointing.
exceptional hospitality, nothing over the top, all understated, but as good as any relays and chateau we have stayed in; beautiful , peaceful setting
Gorgeous setting, helpful staff, fab. spa, and beautifully decorated. Nice choice between main bldg and more private separate "house."
In my opinion entree portions much too small for the high prices. More appropriate as "appetizer plates." Menu prices generally inflated, despite excellent quality and nice presentation. The "free" dessert sampling tray presented after one has ordered one's dessert was not a welcome surprise. Reception office could use another more visible sign out in front. Lock on our room door difficult to operate--very old!
Good location, beautiful grounds, wonderful breakfast
Lighting definitely not sufficient in bedroom or bathroom; bed linens/pillows not what I would have expected in an upper end property; no room in bathroom for toiletries, personal care items. Staff was inattentive --- preoccupied with an up-coming wedding.
The restaurant is amazing. Order your breakfast and have it while overlooking the tuscan landscape !!! Can not beat it.
The hotel is wonderful, the view is beautiful, very calm and perfect to relax with a nice spa area that is included at the price. the restaurant is very good, but expensive to eat everyday. the room is big and very comfortable bed with a good bathroom.
Unfortunately the hotel has one dining option (which is Michelin rated) and while the restaurant is fabulous it is expensive, and not an option for everyday use. The hotel is a bit far from Cortona, roughly 15 minutes by car, and it is a little complicated to go at night if you would like to have a few wines etc. It would be nice if the hotel provided a transfer. There is corkage even if you are drinking the wine in common areas.

|Lions QB Jon Kitna shaken up in second quarter against Vikings, but returns in fourth
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 16 September 2007 13:26
Kitna was hit hard several times while passing against the Vikings, and Kenechi Udeze delivered one of the blows by driving Kitna's face into the turf.
After Kitna's last drive, which ended with a touchdown pass to Roy Williams, he went to the bench. A flashlight was shined toward his eyes and a wet towel was draped over his head while trainer Al Bellamy evaluated him.
When he left the game, Kitna was 13-of-21 for 151 yards and a score.
Until J.T. O'Sullivan threw five passes on his first drive midway through the second quarter, his experience in the league consisted of kneeling down twice to seal a win for Green Bay in 2004.
O'Sullivan, drafted in the sixth round in 2002 by New Orleans, has been on a handful of rosters in the league and led the Frankfort Galaxy to NFL Europa's World Bowl earlier this year and in 2004.
Chicago cut him just before training camp, and the Lions quickly signed him.
The former California-Davis standout went from possibly being released again to being the No. 2 quarterback because second-round pick Drew Stanton went on injured reserve with a knee injury and Dan Orlovsky had a toe injury in the second preseason game.

Dying neurons lead to cognitive impairment and memory loss in patients with neurodegenerative disorders–conditions like Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury. To better diagnose and treat these neurological conditions, scientists first need to better understand the underlying causes of neuronal death.
Enter Huaxi Xu, Ph.D., professor in Sanford-Burnham's Del E. Webb Neuroscience, Aging, and Stem Cell Research Center. He and his team have been studying the protein appoptosin and its role in neurodegenerative disorders for the past several years. Appoptosin levels in the brain skyrocket in conditions like Alzheimer's and stroke, and especially following traumatic brain injury.
Appoptosin is known for its role in helping the body make heme, the molecule that carries iron in our blood (think "hemoglobin," which makes blood red). But what does heme have to do with dying brain cells? As Xu and his group explain in a paper they published October 31 in the Journal of Neuroscience, excess heme leads to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species, which include cell-damaging free radicals and peroxides, and triggers apoptosis, the carefully regulated process of cellular suicide. This means that more appoptosin and more heme cause neurons to die.
Not only did Xu and his team unravel this whole appoptosin-heme-neurodegeneration mechanism, but when they inhibited appoptosin in laboratory cell cultures, they noticed that the cells didn't die. This finding suggests that appoptosin might make an interesting new therapeutic target for neurodegenerative disorders.
What's next? Xu and colleagues are now probing appoptosin's function in mouse models. They're also looking for new therapies that target the protein.
"Since the upregulation of appoptosin is important for cell death in diseases such as Alzheimer's, we're now searching for small molecules that modulate appoptosin expression or activity. We'll then determine whether these compounds may be potential drugs for Alzheimer's or other neurodegenerative diseases," Xu explains.
Putting a stop to runaway appoptosin won't be easy, though. That's because we still need the heme-building protein to operate at normal levels for our blood to carry iron. In a previous study, researchers found that a mutation in the gene that encodes appoptosin causes anemia. "Too much of anything is bad, but so is too little," Xu says.
New therapies that target neurodegenerative disorders and traumatic brain injury are sorely needed. According to the CDC, approximately 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury each year. It's an acute injury, but one that can also lead to long-term problems, causing epilepsy and increasing a person's risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Not only has traumatic brain injury become a worrisome problem in youth and professional sports in recent years, the Department of Defense calls traumatic brain injury "one of the signature injuries of troops wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq."

No known negligence involving Boy Accidentally Injured by Bullet
The El Dorado County Sheriff's office released a statement on Monday that read:
"Upon their arrival at the Georgetown Fire station deputies learned that while visiting their property in Georgetown a family from the bay area was shooting targets at a shooting range they had constructed on their property. Two people were shooting rifles at targets on the range on the property at the same time. The targets were approximately 40 yards away from the shooters. Multiple family members were behind the shooters watching them. A seven year old boy was one of the shooters on the range and was shooting a single shot .22 caliber bolt action youth rifle, with the help of his father. The other subject was an adult male and was shooting a larger caliber rifle. Both shooters were the same distance from the targets and a few yards to each others side.
The guns were always pointed down range in a safe manner and never pointed at any of the people at the location. Nobody shooting or watching noticed any ricochets at the time however at some point while they were shooting the 7 year old grabbed his chest and complained of pain. His father was right there with him and checked his chest to see that the boy had a small hole in his t-shirt and was bleeding from his chest, behind the hole in the t-shirt. The boys father immediately transported the boy to the Georgetown fire station were he was picked up by a helicopter and transported to a hospital in the Sacramento area. His condition is not known at this time."
Although the report describes an accident that was not caused by any negligence, the Sheriff's office added that, "Detectives were assigned and have initiated an investigation to determine how the boy received his injuries."

UK ditches single ID database

The UK government has ditched plans to put all our identities on one big database, saying that sticking with existing systems will help cut fraud and save money.
But this is not a U-turn. Home Secretary John Reid was very clear about that. The system will now be built using existing data, with additional information being stored on existing databases.

Beacon Correspondent
The Fortuna Police Department is holding a junior detective class as part of an after school enrichment program at Redwood Preparatory Charter School in Fortuna.
Fortuna Police Department's Sgt. Charles Ellebrecht and Community Services Officer Dawn Dokweiler have been running the class at Redwood Prep on Tuesdays. The class takes just under an hour and has covered many areas of the department.
"We are happy to be able to provide this service to the students," Sgt. Ellebrecht said. "This is a great way to teach them about our role in the community and what we actually do."
When emergencies happen often young children will hide from officers or firefighters and this can prove to be a life-threatening hazard.
FPD is using this opportunity to become acquainted with students and break down any fears, increase knowledge about what officers do, provide extra safety through fingerprinting, and have some fun learning investigative techniques used in the field.
"My son is really enjoying his junior detective class," Gretchen Oliver Woessner said, thanking the FPD.
This week, the junior detectives lifted their own fingerprints off of a bowl and discussed how they are different from other students.
"The kids are ecstatic," said Lisa Jager of Redwood Prep. "This is a great way for the kids to understand the important role the police play in the community's overall safety.
This is not the first time FPD has stepped up to provide an educational environment surrounding the role of a police department.
During the year at many community events you can find the FPD and other local law enforcement agencies on hand to give tours of their response vehicles.
South Fortuna Elementary for years past would have a police car at their annual carnival. Long lines filled the playground as friends and families eagerly awaited their turn to sit up front or even jokingly in the back.

An Efficient 30-Band Graphic Equalizeer Implementation for a Low-Cost DSP Processor
Long finite-impulse response (FIR) filters are becoming more commonplace in audio processing. This paper presents an efficient method for creating FIR filter coefficients for a 30-band graphic equalizer with well-controlled magnitude and phase properties. By using this synthesis technique, along with an efficient FIR filter implementation, the entire 30-band equalizer can be implemented on a single DSP processor.

Stone Cold vs The Rock War
Ok since I really don't want this to be part of Jericho thread I'm making this thread. In either way this is what IWC do daily anyways. This war will never end. So let's all just bring it.
This is to the response to the dude who said that Austin 3:16 made Austin. Here you go fella.
"Bullshit sunny. If it wasn't for the guys like HBK, Bret, Vince and just about anyone who thought that screwjob was a good idea you wouldn't have Stone Cold Steve Austin today.
Not to mention all the leeching WWE did from ECW it's amazing that they are not sued today (If only Paul E could).
Stone Cold Steve Austin is nothing more but a one of the best gimmicks and storylines in WWE. Nothing more here to grab under that tree.
Sure he has mic skills. But are they really that better than everyone elses? That can be argued but I can't see how you can fairly argue that Stone Cold was nothing more but a fabrication of a lot of fucked up events that took place during the 90's. Stone Cold was just that sunuva bitch that reaped the rewards after everything was said and done and all the smoke was cleared and dust put out of the way.
Also thank Jake The Snake that he was sucha screw up during that KOTR otherwise no one might even know who Stone Cold is today.
Not to mention you need to thank Bischoff also. Thank him and NWO for actually giving Vince that kick in the butt that he needed to create Stone Cold.
Did I mention Paul E? If not for this guy Stone cold would have never developed mic skills needed to begin with to be great.
So all you did hear is you came down here and proved nothing.
Rock would been great as long as you gave him the mic. He is one of the few who can put himself over. Right now he's the guy who could most likely bury stone cold so bad I doubt he would ever recover..ever again.
Wanna do some more cute Stone Cold comebacks? Bring It. I'm ready for them ."

Corn prices are plummeting as farmers across the Midwest race to plant this year's crop.
It is widely expected that 70 percent of the corn crop will be planted by this weekend, which helped to confirm the market's expectations for another large harvest of the grain this fall. As a result, prices fell more than 20 cents per bushel during the week.
Despite the national pace of corn planting being slightly ahead of schedule, some northern states are lagging behind significantly.
As of last Monday, farmers in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota had only planted half as much corn as usual, as they were slowed down significantly by lingering cold and snow. If these states continue having trouble planting this year's crop, it could cut into the national production, but few are worried about that prospect yet.
Until this week, corn prices had been supported by high wheat, soybean and even oat prices. But those competing crops took a tumble this week, too, because of better outlook for production in South America and the influence of a strong U.S. dollar hurting prospects for U.S. grain exports.
As of Friday morning, corn for delivery in July was trading at $4.81 per bushel.
European Central Bank drags down euro
Although the United States is struggling with a slowly growing economy, the U.S. Federal Reserve is continuing to reduce its economic stimulus levels, showing confidence that the U.S. economy can begin to stand on its own.
Across the Atlantic, Europe is heading the other way – economic growth is stagnating, and the European Central Bank is leaning toward a new round of stimulus.
During the last few weeks, officials from the ECB, including its president, Mario Draghi, have indicated they were ready to deploy new measures to boost the European economy.
Currency traders anticipate these actions would likely be directed at increasing inflation in the euro zone, which would hurt the value of the common currency.
As a result, traders have sold their euro holdings aggressively, knocking the currency to an 11-week low of less than $1.37 on Thursday.
Longer-term, if economic stimulus helps the European economy recover, the currency may regain its lost ground, especially if its weakest countries can avoid debt crises such as those that plagued Greece, Cyprus, and Italy during the last few years.

Radiation Control Division Topics
|Lead safe found in West Chester containing radioactive radium-226 material
|Metal box containing lead safe found in West Chester containing radioactive radium-226 material
|Metal box containing lead safe found in West Chester containing radioactive radium-226 material, with lid closed
Radiation in large doses can cause injury and death. Chronic exposure to lower levels of radiation may cause an increased risk of certain kinds of disease, such as cancer. The major source of radiation exposure to the public is medical and environmental. Medical exposure involves radiation-producing machines such as computed tomography (CT) X-ray imaging devices, high-energy particle accelerators used in cancer therapy and radioactive materials used for internal imaging and therapy. The major source of environmental radiation is radon gas in soil trapped by enclosed buildings and other natural background radiations from building materials, the earth and space. Radiation and radioactive material are also utilized in many common devices such as certain smoke detectors, thickness gauges and chemical analyzers.
The goal of the Radiation Control Division is to prevent avoidable radiation injury from the use of licensed or registered radiation sources and to keep public, environmental and worker exposure to radiation-producing machines and radioactive materials As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) in order to minimize the potential for long term disease induction. Methods of radiation protection include: public education, regulation, compliance assistance, licensing, registration and inspection of radiation sources, facilities and users.
Specific legislative authority is derived from the Radiation Protection Act (1984-147) (PDF).
The use of radiation for medical, industrial, and research purposes has increased and evolved significantly since the program was transferred from the Health Department in 1971. The Division develops regulations for the safe use of radiation-producing machines and radioactive material, and continues to revise them over time as necessary. Along with the regulations, guidance and fact sheets are developed to assist licensees and registrants in complying with the regulations and avoiding unnecessary exposure to radiation. The Radiation Control Division provides consultative support to registrants, licensees and the Regional Office program staff in the interpretation of regulations and policy. Procedures are developed and updated to assist regional staff in conducting compliance inspections of registered and licensed facilities.
The Division is responsible for the registration of over 11,000 facilities possessing over 33,000 X-ray units.
In order to ensure that patients, personnel and the environment are protected, that operators are properly trained, and radiation equipment and facilities meet current protection standards, the Department has a goal to inspect all facilities at least once every four years. Major facilities may be inspected every two to three years. In all, this results in a total of approximately 2,800 inspections per year statewide.
Users of radiation-producing machines are required to register with the Division, to designate an individual to be responsible for radiation protection, and to indicate the number and type of units possessed. Registration allows the Division to maintain an inventory of X-ray equipment in Pennsylvania so that all users can be inspected for compliance with the applicable radiological health regulations. Users pay registration fees based on the type of facility and the number of tubes possessed. The Division oversees the production and issuance of associated registration certificates, renewal letters, invoices, and the collection of initial and annual fees.
In accordance with the terms of a federal contract with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), BRP is responsible for inspecting approximately 400 screening mammography X-ray facilities for compliance with the technical aspects of the equipment and quality assurance standards of the federal Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) of 1994. Compliance with these standards enhances the quality of mammograms and increases the likelihood of early detection of breast cancer in women. BRP inspectors receive intensive MQSA inspection protocol training from the FDA. The Radiation Control Division administers the contract and coordinates the inspection program by the regional offices.
The Division has participated in the FDA's National Evaluation of X-ray Trends (NEXT) program since it's inception in the mid 1970's. The program tracks exposure to patients from selected diagnostic x-ray procedures over the years. FDA randomly selects the facilities to be surveyed and provides a list to BRP along with the necessary patient equivalent phantoms, survey equipment and protocols needed to conduct the surveys.
The Division issues specific licenses to medical accelerator and non-medical facilities. In 1998 the regulations were amended to replace the previous registration program for the approximately 141 accelerator facilities and approximately 221 accelerators in the Commonwealth with a licensing program. Unlike registration, licensing requires prior approval for licensed activities. Acceleration operations are complex; information must be provided up-front so the Department can determine on a case-by-case basis what requirements are necessary for the accelerator to be used safely. The Division oversees the production and issuance of associated accelerator license certificates, license renewal letters, invoices and the collection of the license fees. Pre-licensing inspections are conducted by the regional staff in coordination with the central office license reviewer.
Users of all byproduct material are required to obtain a license from the Division prior to obtaining those radioactive materials. This material is used in hospitals, colleges and industries for medical, research and industrial purposes. The Department issues specific and general licenses for the use of radioactive material. The objective of the licensing program is to ensure radioactive material is used safely, disposed of properly and facilities are free from contamination when licensed operations are terminated. Licensees pay fees based on the type of radioactive material being used; thus, the licensing and inspection programs are self-supporting.
In order to more efficiently, uniformly and safely control radioactive material, Pennsylvania has entered into an Agreement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to expand its authority over the licensing and regulation of Byproduct, Source and Special Nuclear Material. As a result of the merger of NRC licenses with NARM licenses, the number of radioactive material programs BRP will license and inspect has increased from approximately 460 to about 800. Again, as required by Act 1984-147, licensing fees have been established to provide full financial support for these additional inspection and licensing activities.
The Department is responsible for protecting the public and the environment from the disposal of hazardous material contaminants. Hazardous material includes sources of radioactivity. With increasing frequency, radioactive material (RAM) is detected in municipal and residual solid waste by radiation monitors installed at processing and disposal facilities. In 2001, the Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) and the Bureau of Waste Management (BWM) jointly developed regulations requiring all municipal and residual solid waste facilities to implement an action plan to monitor all incoming wastes for the presence of radiation and radioactive material. A guidance document was also developed to assist facilities in implementing their action plans. The Division also works with recycling facilities to monitor and prevent the contamination of recycled materials.
The Division is responsible for the registration of over 300 service providers/vendors throughout the Commonwealth. Those who provide services for radiation-producing machines (x-ray machines and accelerators) are required to register with the Division. They are also required to provide to the Division information on who, when, where and what equipment or service was provided to the x-ray registrants and accelerator licensees in the Commonwealth. Registrants pay a set registration fee of $140.00. The Division oversees the production and issuance of associated registration certificates, renewal letters, invoices and the collection of initial and annual fees.
In addition to the above noted routine activities, staff perform a number of special projects. These projects are related to: special investigations of medical events (misadministration of radiation-producing machines and materials), development of educational materials, training, support of RAM site decommissioning, review of complex proposals for healing arts screening using X-rays (e.g., whole body CT screening), participation in emergency response activities involving nuclear power or radioactive materials, maintaining a Radiation Protection Advisory Committee drawn from the public, regulated and scientific communities, performing outreach to the community on the subject of mammography cancer screening and answering questions regarding non-ionizing hazards from such things as microwaves, power lines and tanning booths.

November 27, 2014
Posted: Friday, November 15, 2013 --- 7:23 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A new report says a large chunk of the University of Wisconsin System's 2012 reserves were committed to specific purposes.
The Legislative Audit Bureau report examined the purposes for $755.4 million of the $1.04 billion the system had on hand at the end of June 2012. The report found about 60 percent of the money was being held for documented uses.
But system officials didn't provide any documents showing uses for $142.2 million. They also didn't have documents on uses for $118.5 million, although that money came from sources that require specific uses. The report said wasn't clear why documents weren't provided.
UW officials have come under intense scrutiny over the last six months after news broke that they have built massive reserves while raising tuition.

Most people know the feeling of dread that sinks in if their smart phone goes missing.
"I felt like everything was gone at that moment," said Victoria Avila, Creighton University Student.
Let's face it, smart phones nowadays hold as much important information as our wallets do.
"I was really panicked," said Kristine Dodge, Creighton University student.
It's one of the reason's Creighton University Associate Professor William Duckworth is getting recognized. He's just completed research on a smart phone idea called a 'kill switch.'
"I can call AT&T or Verizon, or whoever my carrier is and they would render the phone useless," said Duckworth.
Right now it's just a concept, but it works the same as if you lost a credit card. If it goes missing, just call up the company and they disable the whole phone so it can never run again.
But Duckworth said a kill switch would do more than bring peace of mind, it would save billions for consumers. Currently 2.6 billion dollars is spent on insurance and replacing stolen phones each year.
Also in the past year, the number of smart phone thefts has almost doubled.
Analysts believe criminals would no longer have an incentive to steal phones because a kill switch feature would allow victims to disable their phone at anytime.

Retail Value
Go-getting Canadian tech startup wastes no time in launching right in the middle of Fashion Week
April Fong, Financial PostPublished: Tuesday, March 04, 2014
Not many Canadian tech startups can say they launched amid the glamour of New York Fashion Week - but that's exactly how online retailer platform 42 Technologies Inc. got to strut its stuff for the first time.
Calgarian Cathy Han presented 42 in February last year at Decoded Fashion, a "hackathon" for startups to pitch tech solutions for the fashion and retail industry. With designer Zac Posen as one of the competition's judges, Canadian model Coco Rocha in the crowd and Marc Jacobs showing off his fall collection in the same night, 42 was selected as a finalist at the Fashion Week event.
"It's crazy - Fashion Week is everything you see in the magazines," Ms. Han, co-founder and chief executive of 42, recalled.
Cathy Han, CEO of 42, took a global approach quickly, trying to establish clients and presence in New York City before opening a Toronto office in June. The company's objective is to pitch tech solutions for the fashion and retail industries.
Tyler Anderson, National Post
It was a fitting start for a company Ms. Han and co-founder and chief technology officer Nicolas Porter have fearlessly taken global from the get-go, both in terms of clients and setting up shop in New York before opening its office in Toronto last June.
Now, 42 has another international achievement to add to the list: being selected for the latest cohort of Y Combinator, a prestigious seed accelerator program in Silicon Valley.
"We looked around the world for a program to help move the business forward," Ms. Han said. "Y Combinator has a history of building products and companies that people actually find a lot of value from, such as Dropbox and Airbnb. We're incredibly excited."
The company's web platform takes bricks-and-mortar retailers' raw point-of-sale data and turns it into easy-to-read insights, such as identifying who top customers are and what products are driving sales growth. The aim is that merchants can take this actionable data to better personalize in-store experiences.
Ms. Han said the idea was partly inspired by her experience working at Procter & Gamble, where she pored over spreadsheets to help large retailers identify gaps in their businesses. It helped her envision a data platform that would free businesses from sifting through numbers so they could instead spend time figuring out solutions themselves.
"Working with the data was so hard and it crashed my Excel all the time. I never had a tool that was powerful enough," the 24-year-old Sauder School of Business graduate said.
"POS data isn't a sexy space by any means, but what you can do with it is incredibly influential to any business ... We wanted to build something for execs to find the information they need in the time they wanted," Ms. Han said, adding that she wants to bring the same kind of intelligence of customers' purchasing patterns in the online world - think Amazon. com's recommendations of products you may like - to off-line retailers.
The data that 42 provides can, for example, help businesses tailor their email newsletters (such as promotions reflecting a customer's buying trends or a storeopening invitation delivered to the top 5% of customers), rather than spamming customers with irrelevant promotions.
Ken Wong, marketing professor at Queen's University, says this kind of personalization is increasingly critical for bricks-and-mortar retailers as they face growing online competition.
"In an era where increasingly everything is available everywhere, [retailers] have to ask the question, 'What value is being added at the point of sale?' " Mr. Wong said.
Its name - 42 - is a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's "answer to everything."
Ms. Han said opening in New York was important not only because most of the retailers' headquarters were there, but also because it's the biggest market. Early clients have included U.S. fashion label Rebecca Minkoff and Ms. Han said the startup is working with and targeting "mid-to highend luxury retailers ... like [those in Toronto's] Yorkville."
So far, 42 has been bootstrapping with the help of grant money, but Y Combinator will lead to more fundraising opportunities. The Mountain View, Calif.-based program for technology entrepreneurs gives seed money to newly formed startups, and provides advice and opportunities to pitch to top-tier venture capitalists.
The main challenge for 42 at this early stage is to stay true to its product vision and focus on growing in a systematic fashion, said Kevin Hale, a partner at Y Combinator and founder of Wufoo, an online form builder.
"A lot of times at this nascent stage, companies get distracted by a lot of different things, whether it be fundraising, partnerships or anything that when they start getting excited it takes them off course," he said.
The fact that 42 went global at the start shows the value of its solution for bricks-and-mortar retailers, Mr. Hale adds. "Many retailers don't have the skills to manage their data analysis on different customers from different locations. Obviously that problem isn't localized to Canadian retailers - and so it only makes sense for 42 to have this out-of-the-gate thinking of having a wide company reach."
Going global was a no-brainer for Ms. Han, who says it's one of the most important lessons she got from her parents.
"We moved from China when I was 10, and one of the things my mom always told me was, you should go out and compete with the best in the world," Ms. Han said.
"So that's what's important to us - to be building the absolute best product we can, not just the best product for the immediate space around us." email@example.com Twitter.com/aprilfong

Next flagship Lumia is on its way: Invites sent out for 14 May unveiling
Summary: The next Nokia Lumia handset is set to be revealed in London next month, bringing a new option to the market for Windows Phone fans.
The next addition to Nokia's Lumia line is to be unveiled in a matter of weeks.
Invites to the launch event of the as-yet unknown Windows Phone 8-based device were sent out on Friday for an event on 14 May.
The event will take place in London and, while the invite gave no hints of which handset is on the way, it did confirm the event would reveal "the next chapter of the Lumia story".
Several rumours of new devices from Nokia have surfaced in recent weeks, including an aluminium version of the Lumia 920, apparently called the Nokia Catwalk or Lumia 928. Another rumoured device is the Nokia EOS, also known as the Lumia 1000, which is said to include the 41-megapixel sensor found on Nokia's 808 PureView.
While both these rumours sound somewhat dicey, the event is a global gathering, suggesting that the company will be unveiling a flagship device rather than something in the low-to-mid range. During Nokia's recent first-quarter earnings call, CEO Stephen Elop promised a "hero" Lumia handset would surface during the current quarter.
Whatever Nokia has in store, ZDNet will be on hand at the event to bring you all the news and hands-on action.
Nokia's current flagship device — the Lumia 920 — wasfirst shown off to the world in New York in September 2012.

Jackie Shroff made his Bollywood debut with Subhash Ghai's Hero in 1982 and became a star overnight. Now, life's coming to a full circle for him.
Thirty years on, Jackie Shroff will now witness his son Tiger making his much-anticipated debut in Sajid Nadiadwala's film titled Heropanti. And we can't miss the striking resemblance of the titles.
This news comes after many months of speculation over whether it would be Aamir Khan or Subhash Ghai who would launch Jackie Shroff's son. Looks like Sajid Nadiaidwala finally taken over.
Sabbir Khan (of Kambakth Ishq fame), who will be directing Tiger's debut film confirmed the news. He said, "Yes, the title is Heropanti and the title came from the character of the boy that Tiger plays. The character is little above the ordinary. In normal life, we all follow the set norms and rules. We do not move out of the box but Tiger is someone who is flamboyant and does what he wants to."
Sabbir Khan added, "Also the fact is that he is Jaggudada's son and we could not have got a more apt title. It was a title that Sajidbhai and I came up with. We are still finalising the female lead and will start the film next month."

Roger Lovette is a Baptist minister in Birmingham, Alabama, serving in intentional interim ministry. He blogs at Head and Heart, part of the CCblogs network.
This is why we came—not to be reminded of our finitude. God knows we feel it in our bones, and some of us in our backs and legs and arthritic hands. We come kneeling and hoping that something or someone will whisper forgiveness so that we might start again. Believing or at least hoping that these 40 days that lead to the cross might just touch something deep in our hearts.
The priest comes and dabs his finger into the ashes.
Before his assassination Archbishop Romero of El Salvador had a practice
of reading at the Eucharist the names of members of his church who had
either 'disappeared'—or died the previous week. As the prayers of the
community were spoken—the names were be lifted up one after another.
2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14; Galatians 5:1, 13-25; Luke 9:51-62
People today often speak of a world that has changed dramatically. The
old pillars of morality, values and truth seem to have shifted.
Newspapers and other periodicals are disappearing. Technology has
changed our lives. There is an anger in the land. Many, worried about
jobs and the future, are scared, tired and frustrated.
