Good Technology Raises $50M On Its Road To An IPO

Mobile device management company Good Technology has raised $50 million, according to a Securities and Exchange (SEC) filing. A company spokesperson confirmed the fundraising but had no comment about the purpose of the raise. The SEC document says the company is seeking a total of $60 million. Founded?in 1996 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif., Good Technology is backed by Oak Investment Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Meritech Capital Partners,?DFJ ePlanet Ventures, DFJ Growth Fund, Rustic Canyon Ventures, Allegis Capital, GKM and Blueprint Ventures. In its E round, investors included?Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers,?Benchmark Advanced Equities,?Crosslink Capital?and?Broadview Ventures. Good Technology plays in the fast-consolidating MDM market. It provides enterprise mobility technologies across multiple platforms and security and management software. Its product offerings include Good for Enterprise, Good for Government, Good for OEM Device Manufacturers/Carriers and Good Dynamics. Good puts an emphasis on providing a platform that allows?enterprise developers and ISVs to create secure mobile applications. It has been reported that Good is pursuing an IPO. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company ?has hired four investment banks to explore the possibility of a public offering. The IPO is believed to be taking place later this year. Morgan Stanley, Barclays PLC, Bank of America Corp., and Citigroup Inc. were hired to help with a deal that the WSJ says is likely to be valued at over $1 billion. The bring your own device (BYOD) movement has in many ways changed the dynamics for the way people work. Mobile use is accelerating faster than any expected, leading to some interesting issues for IT managers who have become accustomed to managing desktop personal computers and laptops. The shift has forced the CIO to adopt the tools provided by MDM vendors. Enterprise vendors recognize this budding demand and have been making acquisitions to build out mobile work suites. For example, in January, Citrix acquired Zenprise , an MDM vendor.

Boston marathon bombing survivor: Tom Brady?s got nothing on these ER doctors

Fifteen days ago, Jarrod Clowery was standing with three friends on Boylston Street in front of the Forum Bar watching the Boston Marathon.

Today, Clowery, a 35-year-old carpenter from nearby Stoneham, is in Boston?s Brigham and Women?s Hospital, recovering from shrapnel wounds and thermal injuries suffered near the second explosion. He's had multiple surgeries to remove carpentry nails, bee-bees, pieces of plastic and denim from his jeans embedded in him from the pressure cooker bomb that planted near the railing three feet from where he was standing. Doctors estimate Clowery will face several more surgeries to remove the 20 bee-bees left in him. Yet he considers himself lucky.

"I feel blessed," Clowery said Tuesday during a press conference at the hospital. "My friends are in much worse shape."

Each of Clowery's friends?brothers James and J.P. Norden and Marc Fucarile?lost limbs in the second blast.

Clowery and his friends can be seen standing near 19-year-old bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in one of the photos released by the FBI. But Clowery can't bring himself to look at his alleged attacker.

"I don't even look at the bomber," he said. "I look at me and my friends."

When he heard the first explosion, Clowery said, he knew it was not an accident.

"I knew right away in my gut in wasn't a gas leak," he said. "I saw the open space in the street, I said, 'Let's get in the street.'

As Clowery cleared the railing, he paused to urge his friends to follow him when the second bomb exploded.

"I remember feeling engulfed," he said. "Just like the movies--all the sound got taken away."

[Related: Fund launched to pay for physical therapy, counseling for Boston victims]

Clowery continued: "I remember trying to count my fingers and feel my feet. My hand was too much to look at."

He looked down at his legs. "I didn't want to look at them, either."

Two off-duty police officers picked Clowery up off the ground and carried him to an ambulance. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors said had suffered the worst burns of any victim they saw.

Clowery praised the first responders and emergency room doctors who treated him.

"In all my years in New England, I never seen Tom Brady put a drive together as good as what these people were doing," Clowery said, adding: "No disrespect to Tom Brady."

As for what he'd say to Tsarnaev given the chance, Clowery declined to answer. "[He's] gotten too much air time."

A fund has been set up by Clowery's family to help pay for his medical expenses.

Clowery, who is being transferred to a rehabilitation facility on Wednesday, hasn't decided if he'll go back to the marathon next year.

"I'm not scared to go back," he said. "I'm not scared of crowds. Maybe me and the same group of guys will go back down there."

Netflix original series 'Orange is the New Black' debuting July 11th

Despite having recently introduced the likes of Hemlock Grove and House of Cards, Netflix isn't standing still: it's boosting its original content with yet another production, Orange is the New Black. The new comedic drama series, created by Weeds' own Jenji Kohan, is set to start streaming to Netflix subscribers worldwide beginning July 11th. Similar to Netflix's House of Cards, Orange is the New Black consists of 13 episodes running at around 60 minutes -- however, the main story here won't be based on drama coming out of D.C., but rather a "world populated with unforgettable characters and no-holds-barred humor set against the backdrop of a women's prison." Be sure to peruse the PR after the break, where you'll find more particulars about the plot, as well as the full cast list.

Ohio high schooler attempts suicide in front of classmates

Glenn Hartong / Cincinnati Enquirer via AP

Parents and other family members cross under a police line to check on their children, on April 29, at LaSalle High School in Cincinnati, where a high school student pulled out a gun and shot himself in a classroom on Monday.

By Andrew Rafferty, Staff Writer, NBC News

An Ohio student was in critical condition after shooting himself in an apparent suicide attempt that took place during a class Monday at?an all-male Catholic high school in?Cincinnati, police said.

The student, whose name has not been released at the request of the parents, pulled out a?semi-automatic?handgun?shortly after 9 a.m. on Monday during an honors-level leadership class at La Salle High School, according to authorities. ?

Then, in the same room as 22 other students, he tried to end his life, police said.

The school was immediately placed on lock down and no other students were injured.

The youth was taken to a nearby hospital where the student is "fighting for his life,"?Greg Tankersley, La Salle's director of community development, told reporters.

Tankersley said the teen is an honors student who has completed more than 80 hours of community service and is working to become an Eagle Scout.?

Following the incident, the family released a statement: ??We thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. We ask that the media please respect our privacy at this time so we can do what we need to do for our son and our family. We also ask that friends of our son and family please refrain from Facebook and Twitter comments. We appreciate the heroic efforts of UC Medical Center staff as they care for our son.?

Authorities have thus far not commented on how the student brought the gun into a classroom. Late Monday police swept the school with K-9 units as a precaution.

Distressed 911 calls from students reveal the chaos and panic that ensued following the single gun shot. Many in the room were unaware at the time that it was a suicide attempt and thought it could be an active shooter.

"We're at La Salle High School and there is a guy with a gun," one student frantically told the?Hamilton County 911 dispatcher.
Groups of students huddled together throughout the high school as authorities arrived.?

School officials praised Green Township Police and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office for quickly responding and securing the scene. After the scene was deemed secure, students who had gathered in the gym were allowed to leave with parents. Counselors were also on hand to speak with the kids.

Classes will resume Tuesday with an all-school prayer service at LaSalle, officials said.

"We think it's important to have our young men back in the building so we can talk about it with them and help them deal with this situation," said?Tankersley.

'Iron Man 3' Lights It Up At The Foreign Box Office

FROM MTV NEWS "Iron Man 3" is already a hit film, and it hasn't shown on a single screen for U.S. audiences yet. That's because Marvel's follow-up to their mega-hit, "The Avengers," opened early in dozens of foreign markets this past weekend and took in $195 million. To put that sum into perspective, "The Avengers" [...]

Copywriting And Other Writing Terms Explained - Writing Speaking ...

Copywriting:

Copywriting is the category of writing promotional web content/material. If it?s not promotional material, a simple content writer can serve the purpose very well. Tag lines, press releases, magazine ads, online ads, mails, brochures and flyers are included in this category. It may be intended to advertise and increase the sales of a certain product. Its sole purpose is to market and advertise a person, product or any idea. Keywords are of great importance in copywriting. It also includes the commercials for TV and radio. In the end it can be said that copywriting is a process of creating a copy that entice its readers to take a certain action i.e. buying of a certain product thus increasing the sales.

E-Books:

E-Books refer to digital books. Books in formats like PDF and Doc are available on internet from where they can be downloaded and read on screen. E-book can be about anything like history, philosophy, cooking manuals, fiction etc. Often you are assigned a book; let?s say Harry Potter whose e-book is not present on web. You are asked to write it manually in the instructed format or you are sometimes asked to write an e-book on a certain topic. In the latter case, you have to make a good use of keywords in the book, its title and in the name of individual chapters. The tone that you should use depends wholly on the category in which the topic falls. If it?s a book on gardening, you can use conversational and flexible tone but if you?re going to write a book on philosophy, a formal tone is what you should adopt.

Blogs:

Blog is a very popular term that you would often come across while using internet. You can think of them as websites on a specific subject e.g. Soccer or it can be a personal blog. Most of the times, you are the publisher of your own blog. Blogs can turn into a lucrative business if you?re getting a good traffic. Blog posts are short often 300-500 words. Keyword placement can help your blog in reaching a good ranking among other websites.

Creative Writing:

Creative writing is the opposite of what we call as non-creative writing. In creative writing you?re asked for your view points. It is often termed as inspired writing. All the novels, short stories, poetry etc. are a good example of creative writing.

Press Releases:

Press releases basically fall under the category of copywriting. These are promotional writings with an aim to encourage an action in its readers. A well written press release will help you in getting more customers. A pattern is to be followed while writing press releases. They are to inform your readers about the new upcoming product/services or your new offers on current products/services. Never make the mistake of talking about future in press release. This makes your text imaginary when you use words like ?expected? and ?hopefully?. A link to the website must be added in the press release. Your tone should be formal and complicated charts or statistics should be avoided.

Editing and Proofreading:

Editing and proofreading are not some types of writings but are services provided by experienced editors and proofreaders. The main purpose of hiring these services is to make sure that no grammar, punctuation or any other mistake is left in your writing. However, these two terms are entirely different. An editor works closely with the writer to make his writing up to the mark by pointing out any mistake in the content. He will tell the author where to leave out a certain paragraph or to make certain points more clear. He actually helps you in improving your text. On the other hand, proofreader is only concerned with grammatical mistakes and errors. He will correct your punctuation mistakes.

Children?s Writing:

Children?s writing is creative writing for children aged 2-13. Depending upon your target audience, the writing is kept simple and easy to understand. These are imaginative writings. The heroes and main characters you use in your story are themselves children. This is to keep children glued to the story until they have read it all.

Feed Wrangler makes RSS easy with Smart Streams, filters, and more

Feed Wrangler for both iPhone and iPad is the new guy on the block when it comes to RSS reader apps but that doesn't mean it lacks in quality. Complete with smart streams, Google Reader import options, and read it later integration for both Pocket and Instapaper, it may be a better option for those who don't like the more dynamic interfaces of apps like Feedly or Flipboard.

Upon launching Feed Wrangler, many users may be caught off guard unless they read the app description before downloading. While Feed Wrangler is a free download, you'll need to subscribe to the service in order to actually use the app. This will run you $18.99 a year which could be off putting to many users. The first thing you'll want to do is import your feeds from Google Reader or add them manually. This is easy enough within settings. Just be aware it may take a few minutes for your feeds to filter in. You can also do this via the Feed Wrangler website.

Feed Wrangler also has deep integration with both Pocket and Instapaper for read later support. One thing I did like is if I had no need feeds, Feed Wrangler gave me an instant link to my read it later service of choice. One thing I always seem to do is forget that I've saved articles for later and then I have a ton to catch up on when I do remember. This may help to me jump in and play catch up more often when there aren't any new stories available to browse.

Many Google Reader users may have categories set up but sadly, those won't import. The good news is that Feed Wrangler actually has what a lot of people may consider a better way to sift through news feeds. Smart streams allow you to enter keywords and create a stream that will only filter in news that contains those terms. For example, if you wanted to create an Apple stream, you can input keywords such as iOS, iPhone, iPad, and anything else you're interested in. Feed Wrangler will then obey that criteria and only feed in stories under that stream that contains those terms.

Features like search work exactly like you'd expect. Results are displayed quickly and in most cases, accurately.

The good

• Simple interface that doesn't distract from actually reading
• Syncs quickly and articles load almost instantly
• Smart Streams are brilliant and a much better way to filter news than just regular categories
• Share options including email, message, Twitter, Facebook, and App.net

The bad

• No unread badge count
• The yearly subscription model will no doubt turn off many users when other options are available
• I had initial issues getting Google Reader to actually sync

The bottom line

Feed Wrangler is incredibly fast and for users that want a simple interface that allows them to just read content with no distractions, it may be a perfect fit. Unfortunately, the $18.99/year subscription fee will undoubtedly be a turnoff to potential users considering there are many RSS apps already available in the App Store that can be purchased for a one time fee and do just as good of a job at serving up their RSS feeds. It could no doubt make it a subscription a very hard sell.

Then again, with Google Reader going away this summer, it's very possible we're going to see RSS subscriptions become a much more common option. You'll also be left with no choice but to export and import your Google Reader feeds to another service.

While there are already paid services out there but the free offering by Google Reader made it somewhat hard to compete, until now. That may change, making Feed Wrangler a much more appealing option consider it's cheaper or very well in line with other popular paid options. Either way, it will definitely be interesting to see where the RSS market goes over the next several months.

If you decide to give Feed Wrangler a try, let us know what you think about the app itself and the cost associated with using it.
