Startups: 'More Bootstrappy This Time'
NEW YORK — There are a few hurdles between Landy Ung and her dream of growing her startup into a household name. One is the fact that her only outside funding comes from her mom's fried chicken restaurant, another is that her only full-time programmer is her boyfriend, who has a day job.
She and her boyfriend, Wan Hsi Yuan, 27, run the business, 8coupons.com, from their 500-square-foot studio apartment, meaning headquarters is, effectively, their couch. The business, which text messages discounts to users' mobile phones, keeps Yuan and Ung, who is 28, up until 3 a.m. most nights. Then, Ung said, she sometimes finds herself lying awake, worrying.
"I need to watch a little National Geographic special on the rain forest or something before I go to sleep," she said.
Welcome startup life in 2007.
While their Internet bubble predecessors dreamed of stock offerings, spoke blithely about burn rate and talked about selling everything online, these startups are focusing on interactivity, services for mobile gadgets and getting bought by a bigger company.
This time, the cost of everything from laptops to programmers is lower and no one is splashing for fancy office space, so starting up a company is cheaper, said Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMO Conference, a new-technology showcase.
"The Aeron chair is out, the Starbucks latte is in," Shipley said.
"If your team includes some engineers, you've got a laptop, you've got an Internet connection, you code like hell and see what you can come up with," she said. "It costs your time, it costs a lot of sleepless nights."
Venture funding for all industries has fallen by more than half since 1999, dropping from $54.1 billion then to $26.5 billion in 2006, according to the National Venture Capital Association. Funding for Internet startups is running at roughly $1 billion a quarter in 2007, down from a high of $14.27 billion in the first quarter of 2000.
At an October startup camp in Manhattan, Ung, in a ponytail and puffy vest, and Yuan, in an "8coupons.com, One Free Hug" T-shirt, exchanged cards with other startup founders, led a talk about marketing on Facebook and flew through e-mails on their laptops during breaks.
"We don't go out anymore," Yuan said. "For the past two years, all we do is work." When a founder of another Web site asked Yuan to name a restaurant he likes, he was stumped. He thought for a minute, then named Cafe Fuego, an 8coupons advertiser.
Ung said, "He develops and creates. I do everything else. People look at the site and say, 'How many people do you have working on it? I think, 'Umm. What should I say?'"
There's a lot to keep her up nights.
Like the Internet bubble, startups are clumping in a few areas and wireless services is one. Some companies do text coupons exclusively, such as San Jose-based Cellfire.com, which has venture funding and national advertisers such as Hardee's. Others send coupons as an add-on to other services, such as GoMobo.com, which lets users order coffee or meals by text message.
Mobile coupons "could work if done in association with a service the user opted in for, but as a stand-alone service, it has many challenges," said Jed Katz, managing director at DJF Gotham Ventures.
Ung and Yuan have put $30,000 into the business. They figure they have enough money to last a year, but they're hoping to get venture funding by March. According to their projections, 8coupons should be profitable by the first quarter of 2010, but one lesson of the Internet bubble is that profitability projections often prove overly optimistic.
To expand, Ung would love to find a business development person, another programmer and a traditional media partner whose ad sales force can bundle 8coupons.com text-message coupons into its ad sales.
She did get a lead on a programmer at the camp, which was held not at a ritzy hotel or a swank downtown loft, a la Web. 1.0, but at low-budget conference center in a Masonic Lodge. The food was served from plastic takeout containers and the coffee was cheap. Reps from sponsor Sun Microsystems Inc. (JAVA), which itself imploded during the dot-com bubble, were there to talk about how Sun could support startups (with advice, not cash) and what it wanted from them: Customers. Sun sent two speakers, both from its marketing department.
Scott Medintz, the editor of a planned magazine about startups, surveyed a crowd split between khakis and T-shirts, and said, "It's a lot more bootstrappy now."
That suits Ung and Yuan perfectly.
At home, they sleep in a queen bed and their workspace/living area is roughly the size of a king bed. They have Internet-only cable; their flat-screen TV shows their Web site, and Yuan works from the couch on an arrangement of pillows they call "his shrine," typing braces on both wrists, a serving tray with a wireless keyboard on a pillow on his lap.
When Yuan was 16, his mother sent him from Taiwan to live with an aunt in Athens, Ga. "There were no Asian people there!" he said. He knew no English, but he learned it and went on to get a master's degree in information systems from the University of Maryland at Baltimore County.
Asked if the risks of starting a company make Ung nervous, she answers, "My parents came to this country from Cambodia when they were 40 with three kids, no money and no English. What's the worst that can happen?"
While working at American Express Co. (AXP) in New York, Ung started thinking about starting a neighborhood Web site. One day, coming home from work and bombarded by people handing out flyers and coupons, she thought, "Why not take all this and put it online?"
Eighteen months later, the site was launched.
Growing it requires everything from algorithms to cold calls. 8coupon's 150 advertisers, most in New York City's East Village, start with free trials, then pay $250 a month. Two part-time employees help with sales, another works on the math needed to keep the site running.
The hardest task is converting new advertisers, Ung said. Since most users don't print their coupons, she makes sure everyone at a participating company is ready to honor coupons that exist only on a customer's cell phone screen.
The site has 1,700 users and depends on flyers and word of mouth for more. Users pick a coupon on the Web site, then enter their cell number to get a text-message coupon.
At the startup camp, a partner at a venture capital firm ran through a PowerPoint slideshow on what VCs are looking for: Companies doing things competitors can't with technology that's either patented or incredibly challenging to create.
As he went on, it was clear 8coupons lacked nearly every attribute he listed, but Ung and Yuan shrugged that off.
"VCs are all looking for the same thing," Ung said.
When The Twisted Burger in New York's East Village ran an 8-cent burger, $1 beer promotion, the restaurant was overrun with 500 customers and an hour-and-a-half line. Ung and Yuan ended up waiting tables and busing dishes.
"Our goal was to do whatever it took to make the event successful," Ung said.
Asked what success for her business will look like, Ung answered without a second's hesitation. "When a consumer thinks about local coupons, they'll think about 8coupons."

All eyes on Koby Clemens
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - The trials and tribulations involved for any minor league baseball player are immeasurable. Even though it is just a game they play, long road trips on buses and the want-to to one day toil in the big leagues can make even the simplest of games pressurized.
If your surname happens to be Clemens, and you are wearing a jersey number that your father made famous, those pressures can be intensified.
So far, Koby Clemens has handled the load fairly well.
The eldest son of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens will be toiling at Whataburger Field for the Hooks this season. Touted as the Houston Astros' No. 20 prospect by Baseball America, Clemens is aware of the eyes that are focused on him. For his part, Koby Clemens just wants to play.
"There's good and bad that always comes with that. He set the bar so high. I'm reaching for it, I'm reaching for that bar," Clemens said of the pressures following his father into the pro ranks. "I want to get there and maybe pass it. But to be honest, if I get an opportunity to get to the big leagues and play well, and I do half the stuff he did, that's a pretty dang good career.
"Definitely those are my goals. There's a huge target on your back with the pressure. You see a kid like me, last name Clemens, 'There he is, that's Roger's son,'" he said. "There's these huge expectations because the bar has been set so high."
The 23-year-old hasn't fared too badly in taking a swing at the high bar. Last season with Lancaster, Houston's high-A affiliate in the California League, Clemens won the league batting title with a .345 average and led all high-A players in runs batted in (121), doubles (45) and slugging percentage (. 636). By far, it was Clemens' best season.
Counting the two RBIs he collected in a brief stint with the Hooks last season, Clemens drove in 123 runs, which put him in some select company. Only three professional players -- Milwaukee's Prince Fielder (141), Philadelphia's Ryan Howard (141) and National League MVP Albert Pujols (135) of St. Louis -- had more RBIs last season.
"I've always just been out there and played my game, played myself. Luckily it's a lot easier on me because I'm hitting and I'm not pitching. It'd be a lot different if I was throwing," Clemens said. "I don't know, I'm one of those guys that takes the good with the good and stays away from the bad stuff. It seems to have worked for me.
"There's enough pressure in baseball already by itself. I don't need other pressure from other people," he said. "I just know how well I can play and how well I can do."
That fact isn't lost on the Houston brass, which again is changing Clemens' defensive position. Clemens is scheduled to be the Hooks' everyday first baseman. An eighth-round pick out of Houston Memorial High School in 2005, Clemens started his pro career at third base and moved to catcher. He even spent time (16 games) in the outfield and was a designated hitter for the JetHawks last season.
"We've challenged Koby every year, especially defensively. He obviously started as a third baseman, we put him behind the plate. Now we're asking him to change positions again and learn to play first base," said Ricky Bennett, Houston's assistant general manager in charge of player development. "He's met every challenge. He's coming into spring training with an open mind and a positive outlook on learning a new position."
The bottom line about the 5-foot-11, 193-pound Clemens, however, is his bat, Bennett said. If Clemens can maintain his hitting prowess, the Astros will find a spot for him, especially since his duffel bag now contains at least four different gloves.
Clemens has a smooth, measured swing. In five full-season leagues, Clemens' average sits at .277, and he has averaged 10 homers and 54 RBI.
"I've had to make some adjustments here and there, especially from the metal bat to the wooden bat. I've always been a pretty good hitter. Growing up as a kid, I was usually a leadoff hitter, I was either leadoff or a 2-hole," Clemens said. "I was never one of the bigger kids in my grade.
"When I got to high school and after my freshman year of football when we were into lifting (weights) and stuff, I really got a lot stronger. I was never a home-run hitter," Clemens said. "But that's when I went from two home runs to hitting like eight the next year and it just kept getting better power-wise. I got more doubles, more home runs, just effortless, especially with a metal bat. Just confidence-wise, it kept getting higher and higher. I just loved hitting, I really do. I always have."
Bennett said he wants to ensure that trend continues with the Hooks, with Clemens either at first base, the outfield, as a DH or perhaps even back behind the plate if the occasion arises.
"We've really focused on making sure that Koby's bat is in the lineup. The way he performed last year in Lancaster was just great," Bennett said. "I think he's looking to build on that this year. He's a good hitter. He can definitely drive in some runs. He drove in 120-plus runs last year and I'm hoping he's able to do that again this year.
"He's a good kid. He works hard. He understands what he needs to do to prepare for his season," Bennett said. "I'm looking forward to seeing him put up quality at-bats in Double-A this season."
So is Clemens.
"I just enjoy hitting. Wherever you put me I'm going to do whatever I can to help the team win. I just want to be in the lineup playing every day," Clemens said. "If you put me at catcher, I'll catch all nine innings. I'll go play a different position every other day if I get to play in the lineup every day and that's the God's honest truth."

Ashton Classic Crystal Belicoso (Glass Tube)
6 x 49 - Natural - Single
Ashton cigars are made from a unique blend of select, specially-aged Dominican leaves and surrounded by smooth-smoking Connecticut shade-grown wrappers. Made in the Dominican Republic by Arturo Fuente, Ashton cigars have a mild, creamy draw and are always consistent in flavor and aroma. Preferred by cigar smokers of every experience worldwide, if you really do appreciate fine cigars, Ashton is a certified 'must try!
This has become one of my favorite cigars of all time and I now have several friends hooked on them. What a great cigar, the aroma was very plesant and they burn evenly no matter what. The ash is white throughout the smoke and burns evenly. To me there is a smooth nutty after taste that lingers for about 45 minutes. That makes this a great cigar for after dinner desert or a great smoke with friends who enjoy a good cigar.
My wife bought me a case for Christmas so I smoked one on Christmas Day. What a pleasant surprise and a great gift. The burn was even, the ash consistent, and the taste was a very smooth nutty taste that lingered. This is now my favorite ciger. I enjoy it more then a Fuente Fuente Opus X, more then a Nat Sherman!

HoopsHype Wilson Chandler rumors
Wilson Chandler's contract for next season is now fully guaranteed, with the time period for the Nuggets to release him at a fraction of the cost now expired. Next season is the last of his current deal with the Nuggets. He'll make $7.1 million and be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2016. Chandler had one of his best seasons as a pro in 2014-15, averaging 13.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Denver Post
The Nuggets have rested players for two straight games. On Monday night, those players just happened to be three of the team's four leading scorers and the leading rebounder since the coaching change in a season that team brass — and many fans — hope ends with a high lottery pick. Not everyone is pleased, though. Forward Wilson Chandler was asked if he expected a full roster Thursday with the long rest between games. "I have no idea what they are going to do," Chandler said. "Whoever is on the court just has to keep playing. It's the nature of the business. I'm not a GM; I don't know what's going on. It's tough when you're fighting together but you're getting set up for failure." Denver Post
West played under Shaw when he was a Pacers assistant from 2011-13. After Shaw was fired Tuesday as Nuggets coach, West, in an apparent reference to the team's lack of maturity, told Vigilant Sports: "No grown-ups on the roster. You can't win without grown-ups." "I saw it," Chandler said before Wednesday's victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center. "I mean, it's probably true, but he's entitled to his own opinion. I'm not saying we're immature. We just need to be professionals all the time. ... Winning games, I mean, is on the players and coaches, so it probably did (contribute to losses)." Denver Post
Wilson Chandler: God gives you want you need. Not what you want. Twitter
Liz Mullen: Denver Nuggets F Wilson Chandler will be represented by @RocNation NBA agents Rich Kleiman & Joe Branch. Twitter @SBJLizMullen
Chris Dempsey: Meanwhile, there's no plans to move Wilson Chandler. He'll remain in Denver #Nuggets Twitter @dempseypost
Steve Kyler: Next up for Denver is moving Jameer Nelson and Wilson Chandler... Clippers like Chandler a lot. Twitter @stevekylerNBA
Marc Stein: Hearing Denver has been seeking a future first-rounder AND second-rounder for Arron Afflalo. And two first-rounders for Wilson Chandler ... Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: But now that trade deadline less than six hours away, let's see if Denver prices go down. As it stands: Afflalo still more likely to move Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
In addition to Lawson, the Nuggets are looking to move several other players. They've had extensive talks with clubs about Arron Afflalo, who many league executives believe will be dealt to Portland, Wilson Chandler and Jameer Nelson. They also have tried to move J.J. Hickson and JaVale McGee but have found no takers thus far. ESPN.com
Speaking of the 20-33 Nuggets, they're in full-on firesale mode. Rival execs say virtually everyone is available, with Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler (with only $2 million guaranteed next season) registering the most interest. CBSSports.com
Nevertheless, the Clippers have probed the market with Jamal Crawford to see if there's a way to acquire a first-round pick that could help them make a competitive offer to Denver for Wilson Chandler or Arron Afflalo, league sources said. Yahoo! Sports
Portland has shown a stronger desire to make a deal with Denver for Wilson Chandler than Arron Afflalo, partly because Chandler is under contract next season. The Blazers have made Will Barton and Thomas Robinson, as well as a future first-rounder, available in talks for wing players, but clearly would be more motivated to sweeten a package for Chandler than Afflalo, league sources said. Yahoo! Sports
Portland remains at the top of the list of teams that want to add Chandler, and that has been the case for weeks now. The Trail Blazers have consistently been most interested in dealing for the Nuggets' small forward as they look to add scoring to their bench. Denver Post
Meanwhile, shooting guard Arron Afflalo and forward Wilson Chandler continue to draw the most attention. There are two days remaining until Thursday's trading deadline. Denver Post
Denver's Wilson Chandler is on the radar, and the Blazers will not hesitate to send some combination of Thomas Robinson's $3.6 million expiring deal with another player and a first round draft pick to the Nuggets for the Chandler. Denver could be seeking two first round picks, similar to what they received in the Timofey Mozgov to Cleveland deal, but that is a lot. If that asking price remains high, Portland may wave the white flag on pursing this deal. CSNNW.com
Here is what's known: the Blazers like Afflalo, but would prefer Chandler. Afflalo is known as a decent locker room guy, can knockdown an open shot, and he's a veteran, which Terry Stotts likes. Should the Nuggets asking price seem fair, and Chandler is a no-go, it won't be a surprise to see Afflalo in black and red. CSNNW.com

This is a great demonstration of human impacts on ecosystems. 7 locations in the world show dramatic change over time.
Ignacio Quintana's curator insight, December 1, 2014 6:56 PM
Even though this is just an info-graphic, this is very interesting. What we can see from this map is the spatial organization of religion specifically in the U.S. It's interesting to see how protestant makes up the majority (but apparently not according to the article above this from Haak's page) and how drastically these views can change from coast to coast, and state to state. What I find particularly interesting is that you can clearly find hearths of many of these religions, for example, Utah has an extremely out-numbering amount of Mormons. For obvious reasons that is, but still very educational to see the centers of many of the big religions in the United States.
Joshua Mason's curator insight, January 28, 8:46 PM
Looking at the map, it looks like the Northeast is predominately Catholic while the further South you go along the Eastern coast, you find more Protestants, mostly Evangelical, especially in the from Confederate States. The Mid and Northwest seems to hold a healthy mix of all the Christian denominations while places in the Southwest have a higher Catholic percentage, my guess would be from immigration from Mexico. The one odd ball out in the Southwest is Utah with its 58% of Mormons.

This sounds like it would be really cool. I'm interested in being able to see how cities and roads have developed over time. You can look at places where people might have migrated across the land. It amazes me that they have 178,000 old maps included in their library from 1884 to 2006..

Musicians band together for friend victimized by thief
It's a really terrible situation and a lot of bands (especially on tour) probably have no choice other than to drop the cash on new instruments or run up their already well-used credit cards.
Last week things really hit home when Seattle's Kris Orlowski and his band had their equipment stolen. This couldn't happen to a nicer group of guys.
The good news is Kris has a lot of really amazing friends in this wonderful music community we get to enjoy around these parts and they aren't going to stand for one of their own being taken advantage of.
On April 29 at the Tractor Tavern is the We Were Robbed fundraiser show featuring performances by Allen Stone, John Roderick, Meagan from Lemolo, wayfarer, Shelby Earl, Jacob James of SHiPS, Daniel Blue of motopony, Ryan of Smokey Brights, Matt & Mike Gervais of Curtains For You. This is all in an attempt to help Kris Orlowski and his band raise some cash to recover from this blow.
Get your tickets here for only $10. Here are some tunes from a few of the people performing:

France Telecom and Alcatel Sign a Frame-agreement for Fixed and Mobile Networks.
Alcatel at Telecom Geneva - Hall 4, stand n(degree) 210
France Telecom and Alcatel have reached an agreement for the provision of switching systems as well as for Intelligent Networks.
The frame agreement, spanning the 1999-2001 period, covers the fixed as well as mobile networks of France Telecom, both in France and abroad. Alcatel will supply, in particular, the Alcatel 1000 system which, starting this year, is evolving toward a multimedia multiservice switching and routing system, the Alcatel 1000 MM. The Alcatel 1000 MM is part of the Alcatel 2iP(tm) next generation networking product suite. It allows operators to provide converged services handling both data and voice calls at aims at ensuring a smooth evolution of these networks toward Internet and multimedia services. This is achieved, in particular, through the packetization of the switching core, powerful Network Intelligence as well as high-speed access and transport. It also incorporates Call Server and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) technologies that are particularly well adapted to the operators' new needs.
Etienne Fouques, president of Alcatel's Switching and Routing division, declared: "We have a clear vision of the converged future and through the Alcatel 2iP(tm) program we are making this vision a reality. The Alcatel 2iP(tm) portfolio provides operators with complete carrier class solutions which allow them to migrate their existing infrastructure to the IP world in a cost-effective and flexible manner."
This agreement follows two strategic contracts recently signed with the French operator. The first one concerns the densification of the Itineris GSM network of France Telecom Mobiles in the Paris area. The second contract confirmed the choice, for 1999, of the Alcatel ADSL technology for the deployment of access networks in France. These will provide residential subscribers and business users with high-speed Internet access as well as with digital asymmetric leased lines.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The Mark 4 version of the Man-Amplified Experimental (M.A.X.) armor system is a highly specialized, pared-down piece of equipment designed to work in espionage-style missions, where secrecy is important. Unlike the other three suits, the Mark 4 is about human-sized, and isn't armed with a pleithora of destructive and/or useful items. However, it makes up for this by being extremely maneuverable, and can match the other suits in sheer power. The suit was only used in one story (the last issue of Spitfire), and Jenny continued to use the Mark 3 suit in further missions for the U.S. Government. However, it is assumed that Project: Spitfire retains this suit for other peratives, in case it is needed.

Dear Friends,
As I sat down to write this note to the editor I realized I didn't even know who to address it to because there would be NO way that I could ever address it to everyone. With that in mind I decided on 'Dear Friends,'
Our lives were forever changed on July 27, 2014 when we received a phone call saying our son, Ryder Steck, had been involved in a car crash and was being taken to Grant Hospital in Columbus. Ryder passed away on August 2, 2014, but what happened in the 6 days prior to his death and still happening today has been, simply put, overwhelming and amazing.
To everyone who had came to Grant, called or texted or posted on the Ryders Fighters facebook page, brought food, sent flowers, came to my sister's to visit with us or our family, stood in line at the calling hours or funeral, or even said a prayer for us, we could never say 'thank you' enough.
We feel so blessed to live in not just this community, but the surrounding ones as well. We always knew that when times get tough we come together but, up until this point, we had never been on the receiving end of that help. Let me say, the love that we have felt has been like no other, and it probably is what has got us through to this point.
I would like to say a special thank you to everyone involved in the staff at Highland Local schools and the students as well. It isn't every day that a patient in the trauma ICU gets visits from the Superintendent, a Principal, school board members, teachers, coaches from the boys and girls sports, guidance counselors, and so many students/friends. Ryder's nurse even said if we were from any schools districts around there, that would never happen. The support for Parker and Ranger is still going on and so appreciated, as the days ahead are going to be tougher than the days behind us.
I also can not go without saying a very heartfelt thank you to the men and woman who saved my son's life …..when the Chief Neurological surgeon tells us on 3 different times that the first responders saved our son's life, you tend to sit up and take notice. To the Morrow Co EMS Station 1 & 3, the Big Walnut Joint Fire Firefighters Stations 1 & 2, saying 'thank you' seems so small to say, but please believe when us when we say WE KNOW that you guys gave us 6 days with Ryder. 144 hours to watch him sleep, and give us thumbs up to Jeff Sparks and Keith Ernsberger - you two will never know what those 144 hours gave us, and again, having the Fire Chief at the hospital and get on his knees and pray with us and for Ryder was way beyond what is in his job description. Jeff and Emily stayed with us and cried with us and prayed with us and answered questions when they could have been home with their families.
We are forever all of you guys #1 fans - whatever any of you need, call us we will try to help. We know Ryder was in the best possible care from the time the first man stopped until the EMS and Firefighters arrived, all the way to Grant from Chesterville and even still upon arrival at the trauma unit.
We do not know why Ryder didn't make it. His doctors do not even know what happened. All we know is we had 18 years 1 month and 14 days with a great kid, and we miss him so much already that thinking much past tomorrow seems unbearable, but we also know that we are not the only ones grieving over our son, and we had to take a minute to say thank you to everyone who has touched our lives in this time.
Like we said, saying 'thank you' seems so small, but please know we say it with so much love and respect behind it and we truly believe that your prayers and support is what has pushed us forward.
With love,
Ron, Kila Parker, Ranger and the family of Ryder W. Steck

Karen Horney
Karen Horney, 1885–1952, American psychiatrist, b. Germany, M.D. Univ. of Berlin, 1913. She married Oscar Horney in 1909. Prior to her arrival (1932) in the United States, she was secretary of the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute, where she taught for 12 years. Associate director (1932–34) of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, Horney then came to New York City, where she lectured at the New School for Social Research. She deviated from orthodox Freudian analysis by emphasizing environmental and cultural, rather than biological, factors in the genesis of neurosis. Anxiety, she held, is created by anything that jeopardizes a person's means of gaining security. The neurotic's rigid adherence to his safety devices protects him in some ways but renders him helpless toward other possible dangers. To further her work based on these beliefs, she founded (1941) and became dean of the American Institute of Psychoanalysis. Her works include The Neurotic Personality of Our Time (1937), Self-Analysis (1942), Our Inner Conflicts (1945), and Neurosis and Human Growth (1950).

Next round of pulse polio immunisation drive is on April 15
A marathon polio immunisation drive was held across the district on Sunday with a target of covering 3,04,840 children up to five years of age in urban and rural areas.
Health department authorities in coordination with the district administration have monitored the dawn to dusk intensive pulse polio immunisation campaign with special focus on children in remote areas and nomadic groups.
U. Sagayam, Madurai District Collector, had formally commenced the drive by administering oral polio vaccine to a few children at the Primary Health Centre in Othakadai near here. V. Shanmughasundaram, Deputy Director of Health Services and Radha Rani, Joint Director (Health) were among those present.
Health officials said that the Collector had urged the general public and parents to ensure that their children received the polio drops because children affected by polio will become disabled and suffer in life. Mr. Sagayam also said that it is a safe vaccine and people's cooperation will help eradicate polio from the country.
Totally, 1,600 polio immunisation booths were set up across the district and over 7,000 health staff were deployed for the purpose. Public health staff will start house to house verification from Monday to administer polio vaccine for left out children. The second round of polio immunisation is on April 15.
Madurai corporation
Elaborate arrangements were made by the Madurai Corporation for success of the first round of polio immunisation on Sunday. Mayor V. V. Rajan Chellappa administered polio drops to children at the Corporation Maternity Centre in Munichalai.
A press release from the civic body said that the immunisation was undertaken through booths set up across the corporation limits and 252 special booths were put up in Madurai Corporation area. Also, two mobile booths were pressed in to service to cover children in transit.
Polio vaccine was also administered at 17 important public places such as Mattuthavani/ Periyar bus stand, Meenakshi Temple and Eco Park. In Madurai Corporation area, totally 1,23,208 children up to five years of age were given polio drops, the corporation press release said. Deputy Mayor R.Gopalakrishnan and others participated in the function.
The Southern Railway officials had made elaborate arrangements that 1,194 children were benefitted during the pulse polio immunisation programme.
According to a press release, Geetha Sahoo, treasurer of Southern Railway Women's Welfare Organisation launched the programme by administering the vaccine to children here on Sunday. The booths were installed at vantage locations including the railway hospital, Old Railway Clony and at the railway station in coordination with the Corporation of Madurai officials to cover children travelling by trains.
In addition, pulse polio booths were also operated at important railway stations with the help of local health authorities and covered the children travelling by trains at Palani, Dindigul, Virudunagar, Shencottah, Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, Rameswaram, Ramanathapuram, Manamadurai, Rajapalayam, Tenkasi and Karaikudi, the release added.

* AscendedFanon: When the Widow Mine was turned from an actual mine into a missile-shooting Area Denial Weapons System, many of the beta testers asked its name to be changed due to it becoming a NonIndicativeName. While the actual unit name couldn't be changed for multiple reasons, the name "Sentinel" was thrown around the forums a lot, so its weapon name was changed from "Unstable Payload" to "Sentinel Missiles" as a compromise.
* FanNickname:
** The Overlord's ability to produce creeps is referred to by fans as "Diarrhea".
** Anything [[VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} Arthas]]-related for Valerian.

** Watching commentary replays of pro-level games requires learning an entire fan ''vocabulary'' of names for the different build orders and strategies used, especially since several terms sound similar but have different meanings, such as six-pool[[note]]A Zerg player creates a spawning pool with his sixth drone[[/note]], 4-gate[[note]]A Protoss player builds four gateways before focusing on anything else, regardless of worker count[[/note]], and one-one-one[[note]]A Terran player builds one Barracks, one Factory, and one Starport, racing up the TechTree to air units as fast as possible.

* [[IronyAsSheIsCast Irony As They Are Cast]]: Mengsk's voice actor (James Harper) is friends with Tosh's voice actor, (Dave Fennoy) whereas in the game, they hate each other.
* NoExportForYou: The jukebox has some pretty awesome tunes. Too bad you can't have it on your MP3 player if you live in the two-thirds of the world where iTunes doesn't sell music tho. And to drive the insult home, even if you have successfully ripped the music out of the game files, you still won't have the extra tracks only available on the digital album. Plus, the files have been filtered to sound as if it's being played on a jukebox (complete with vinyl crackles) so it won't be satisfactory to listen from an MP3 player
* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/ScottMenville as Egon.
** Creator/CreeSummer as Protoss Executor Selendis.
* TheOtherDarrin: Zeratul, [[spoiler:Tassadar]] and Kerrigan get new voice actors.\\
In Zeratul's case, the original voice actor [[AuthorExistenceFailure died]].\\
Kerrigan's change is somewhat bittersweet. While her original VA, Glynnis Talken Campbell, is adored by ''StarCraft'' fans, her new VA is universally nerd-approved Creator/TriciaHelfer. They go so far as to redo several of Kerrigan's lines from a pivotal moment in the first game with the new VA, so at least they didn't half-ass it.\\
[[spoiler:Tassadar]], meanwhile, is now voiced by Creator/MichaelDorn.

** The ''Prophecy'' cutscene gives us [[Franchise/MassEffect Saren vs. EDI]], by way of both FredTatasciore and Tricia Helfer voicing both Zeratul and Kerrigan.
** [[GreyDeLisle Nova]], [[Creator/CreeSummer Selendis]], and [[KathSoucie Mira Horner]] are [[CliffordTheBigRedDog Emily Elizabeth, Cleo and Jetta]].
** [[Creator/FrankWelker Zurvan]] and [[Creator/SteveBlum Abathur/Dehaka]] are [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Megatron and Starscream]].
* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: A case of a ''character'' being rescued from development hell. Like Thrall (from VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}) before her, Nova was supposed to be in a game (''Starcraft: Ghost'') that was never released, but got included in the main franchise anyway.
* ThrowItIn: The strange glowy hexagons on some of the fields were at one point a testing pattern, possibly used to test movement and cell selection. During play testing, someone thought they looked neat, so they decided to keep them.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Early footage of the single-player campaign hinted at a subplot of the ''Hyperion'' crew considering a mutiny due to being underpaid and overworked. There is a similar subplot in the final product, but the motivation for the crew is not working conditions, it's [[spoiler:Jim's decision to work with the Dominion to defeat/rescue Kerrigan]]. The same footage showed you could return to Mar Sara for a mission later in the game. This was also scrapped.
** Kachinsky was originally planned to be another main character with his own set of missions to provide.
** At some point Donny was planned to be killed by riots during [[spoiler:the uprising on Korhal after "Media Blitz"]]. He would then have been revealed to have been a robot. Though this plot element was scrapped, his sparking half-destroyed robotic body is still in the map editor.
** All over the place with units, who had abilities constantly shifting around during development. To list what would be some of the more influential changes:
*** The Viking would have been built from the Factory with the air mode transformation as an upgrade. Around this time there was a different Terran ATA unit, the Predator.
*** The Queen would have evolved along with the player's Hatchery, gaining more HP, power and stronger abilities as it evolved.
*** The Carrier would have been replaced by the Tempest, a weaker anti-ground focused unit, and the Void Ray, then the Warp Ray, was the new Protoss capital ship.

Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens Moves To Dismiss Challenge To Same-Sex Marriage
Georgia attorney general Sam Olens has asked a judge to dismiss a federal lawsuit challenging the state's ban on same-sex marriage, reports ABC News.
Olens said in a July 21st filing that Lambda Legal's lawsuit takes away Georgia residents' right to define marriage.
In 2004, Georgia voters supported a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Despite a later challenge, the state Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that the vote was valid.
While acknowledging moves in other states to legalize same-sex marriage, Olen's brief states that "judicially imposing such a result now would merely wrest a potentially unifying popular victory from the hands of supporters and replace it instead with the stale conformity of compulsion."
Olens also argued that recent decisions striking down constitutional bans in other states should not apply to Georgia because the state's marriage laws do not imply a right to marry someone of the same sex.
According to Beth Littrell, a senior attorney for Lambda Legal and co-counsel on the case, "this is a strong indication the attorney general plans on defending the marriage ban regardless of the precedent lining up against him that the federal Constitution provides to all citizens the right to marry the person they love."
In April, Art Gardner, one of seven Republicans running for retiring Senator Saxby Chambliss's U.S. Senate seat in Georgia, announced his support for Lambda Legal's suit and asked Olens to not fight the suit.
And once again a state AG files a response that has been denied time and time again.

Olen's brief states that "judicially imposing such a result now would merely wrest a potentially unifying popular victory"...
Well, unifying of course except for the fag and dyke tax-paying citizens of Georgia.
A majority can not take away rights of an unpopular minority! This is why these bans have been found unconstitutional across the country.

Well 150 years ago Georgia would have easily gotten a majority consensus protecting the right to own people. What law school did these morons go to that teaches that human rights can be superseded by a majority vote?

Mccoysmarketnyc is right.

" A unifying popular victory......"
That is the measure of equality before the law ?
That is what 'We hold these truths to be self evident...........' come down to !
A popular victory over another group's rights !
Jesus H. Christ !
Posted by: JackFknTwist | Jul 22, 2014 2:02:46 PM
Wait ... as I'm reading it, the AG is saying that the "potentially unifying popular victory" would be a legislative victory for marriage equality.
So his rationale for opposing marriage equality is that we're going to get there anyway, eventually, but more unified-like.
Posted by: JamesInCA | Jul 22, 2014 2:16:27 PM
Fine. Add another losing case to the list, so that when this ends up in front of the Supreme Court, the right wing of the Court will facing dozens of rulings that are opposite of what they want. The more times the anti gay crowd loses, the harder it will be for the Supreme Court to say all of those many, many other Justices were wrong. Georgia will lose, but as an Atlanta resident, I hate that they are going to use my tax dollars to do it.

The Macon County Board of Education elected Tony Boles as new Director of Schools on Thursday evening, March 6. Boles beat out eight other applicants for the position, which opened up just last month as current Director Margaret Oldham announced her retirement.
Boles is currently a teacher at Red Boiling Springs High School. He has twenty years of experience in education.
"In those twenty years, I've coached football and taught Agriculture, Chemistry, and Physics," said Boles. "I've also been Assistant Principal at RBS and handled various administrative duties."
He believes that his hands on classroom experience, and having come up through Macon schools himself, will be helpful in this new role. "I'm just excited to be appointed to a position to be able to lead this county's education system. We have a good system in place."
"And I think with my twenty years of classroom experience, I can bring some things to the position. A lot of your directors have been out of the classroom for an extended period of time… I'm coming straight from the classroom."
Boles also worked for Citizens bank between 1987 and 1996, where he racked up plenty of managerial experience. He is currently a County Commissioner, and has served there for nearly twelve years. He said he plans to step down from the County Commission when he takes up his duties as Director.
"There is no statute that says I can't [do both]," said Boles, "but I could not do either job justice by doing them both. There's just no way. There will be too many times when they will conflict."
Boles said that a formal contract still has to be negotiated with the board. Generally, a Director of Schools signs on for two or three years at a time; this will simply depend on what the board decides to do.
He says the "number one thing on his mind" is finishing out the school year with his current students. Boles said that it is "a little bittersweet" leaving the school, because he's made a lot of connections there. "But I've told them I wouldn't be a stranger."
July 1 will be his first day as Director. After the school year ends, the board will probably bring him in to work alongside Ms. Oldham and learn the ropes. "This is a new endeavor for me," he said, "so we'll go at it full speed."
Boles' wife, Jeanne, is a teacher at Macon County Jr. High School, and his son is an 8th grader there this year. He also has two adult daughters who live in Carthage and Knoxville.

Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Development files)
Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux. Applications are run at full speed without the need of cpu emulation. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, however it can use native system dll files in place of its own if they are available.
This package consists of the development files needed to compile programs using wine's free version of the Microsoft Windows API.
This package is based on a recent Wine beta. While many more applications will work, there may be some loss of functionality compared with the stable release provided by the regular wine-dev package.

Sprint Nextel cheered investors today as it reported a smaller loss than expected, thanks to higher bills from iPhone customers using data services. Average revenue per subscriber increased 6.6% as total sales were up 5.1% from a year earlier. Sprint's losses doubled from a year earlier, mainly because of the shutdown of the Nextel network. The loss of 192,000 contract subscribers was largely attributed to Nextel defections; the Sprint unit added 263,000 customers.
