Laurene Powell Jobs, Larry Sonsini, other Valley titans back media startup
www.ozy.com
A look at Ozy Media, which launches in September.
There's a new media startup in Mountain View, and it has basically lined up a murderer's row of venture backers.
Ozy Media, the brainchild of former MSNBC anchor Carlos Watson, is backed by a who's who of Silicon Valley bigwigs ? Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Steve Jobs; Larry Sonsini, a name partner at the Valley legal powerhouse Wilson Sonsini; mega-angel Ron Conway; Chegg's Dan Rosensweig; and Google General Counsel David Drummond.
Aside from the name and the backers, not a whole lot is known about Ozy, which launches in September. According to an article in Fortune, Ozy plans to highlight a few in-depth stories a day, focused on the needs and interests of the "change generation."
If you're like me, "change generation" sounds like a meaningless buzz phrase, a bit like "Pepsi generation,"and is probably not proscriptive enough to actually tell you anything about the organization, what it will cover and how it will cover it.
I will say that Ozy is taking great pains to appear hip, with a landing page featuring a tattooed 20-something with dyed red hair making what can only be described as an "OMG" face. There's also the marketing spiel in the email they send out when you sign up for their mailing list, which reads a little like something written by a man in his 40s trying to seem like a rad dude to kids in their teens.
It said: "We called, you came. And now? The party begins in earnest. Please confirm your cool kid status."
In my head, I read it in the voice of Poochy from the Simpsons.
If Ozy wants to seem like the hip new pub for the kids who sit at the cool table, the name is a little weird. It's short for Ozymandius, which is either a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley or a character from the comic Watchmen, depending on how familiar you are with the romance poets of the 19th century.

Google likely to miss with next-gen Nexus 7, may set new Android standard with 'Moto X'
Although it boasts an impressive feature set, Google's second-generation Nexus 7 tablet could be a bust, says one analyst who believes the Internet search giant's real potential lies in the forthcoming "Moto X" handset.
Google on Wednesday unveiled the next-generation Nexus 7, a tablet that brings impressive hardware to the table for a relatively cheap entrance fee, but KGI Securities' analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimates shipments will be markedly below market consensus.

Google's Motorola is widely expected to announce the Moto X at a special media event on August 1, with the smartphone said to carry a 4.5-inch 326PPI screen, 5-megapixel camera, and "always-listening" voice recognition mode.
Google on Wednesday unveiled the next-generation Nexus 7, a tablet that brings impressive hardware to the table for a relatively cheap entrance fee, but KGI Securities' analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimates shipments will be markedly below market consensus.
In a pair of research notes obtained by AppleInsider, Kuo says a survey of the tablet industry suggests shipments of the new Nexus 7 will be between 3.5 and 4 million units in 2013. Market watchers, on the other hand, forecast shipments some 30 to 40 percent higher at 5 to 7 million units over the same period.
The analyst cites an increasingly competitive marketplace as being a major factor in the Nexus 7's success. As an example, Apple during its quarterly earnings call on Tuesday announced a 14 percent year-over-year slip in shipments for its best-selling iPad lineup, the first slowdown ever for the June quarter.
Kuo also attributes possibly poor Nexus 7 shipments to a lack of innovation on the part of Google and partner manufacturer Asus.
"While the second-generation Nexus 7 showcases Retina display and wireless charging, among other features, the user experience is little changed as compared to other Android tablets," Kuo writes. "It is also more expensive due to higher component costs. These factors are leading to below-consensus shipments."
Asus itself could negatively impact Nexus 7 sales, as the Taiwanese firm's already low-cost tablets will likely be further marked down to clear inventory during the third quarter. Kuo estimates price cuts averaging 20 to 40 percent, exacerbating the situation for Google's as-yet-unreleased tablet.
If Kuo is bearish on the Nexus 7, he is anything but with Motorola's upcoming Moto X flagship handset. The analyst adjusted his shipment forecast for the smartphone to 5.5 million units for fiscal 2013, up from a previous model of 3.5 million units.

Google's Motorola is widely expected to announce the Moto X at a special media event on August 1, with the smartphone said to carry a 4.5-inch 326PPI screen, 5-megapixel camera, and "always-listening" voice recognition mode.
Launching on all carriers, and to backed by a reported $500 million marketing campaign, the U.S.-made device is viewed as a legitimate competitor to Samsung's Galaxy S4 and Apple's iPhone 5. Kuo believes the Moto X will be the "single most important" product for for Motorola in 2013, forecasting the handset to account for 40 percent of the company's smartphone shipments despite being handicapped by a second-half launch.
The analyst sees Moto X as being more a harbinger of things to come than a hot-selling handset, however, noting the opportunity represents chance for Google to set an example for the Android pack. The dominant player in that market is Samsung, but the Korean tech titan could be usurped if Google continues to churn out halo devices like the Moto X.
"With hardware, software, and services converging as a trend, Google is expected to shift more resources into hardware," Kuo says. "By integrating hardware and software to speed up innovation and by launching new flagship models, Google could come to be regarded as a beacon of superior product design in the chaotic Android camp."

?It is too early to give a time frame for the launch of the online training programme but it is certainly part of the initiatives that are in the pipeline for the Indian market. The existing Florida Specialist online training programme for various markets will be specially adapted for the Indian market. The travel trade is our strongest selling partner in the market and our efforts are focused on increasing their destination and product knowledge,? stated Seldon Tenzing, Account Director-India, VISIT FLORIDA. 
Talking about the initiatives to be undertaken during this fiscal year, Tenzing said, ?We will plan another trade FAM and will be participating in the Brand USA India Mission in September 2013 and combine it with a VIP signature event in Mumbai. Apart from this we will continue our ongoing effort of conducting sales calls in different cities and engage the travel trade through seminars and training events.? Apart from Mumbai and Delhi, our primary markets, we are also tapping other cities. In the past six months we conducted seminars, training programmes and sales calls in cities like Chennai, Bengaluru, Chandigarh and Hyderabad. We also participated as Visit Orlando in the Delhi VUSACOM chapter event and plan to work closely with the VUSACOM Committee on future events,? informed Tenzing. lottery numbers mega millions lottery jackpot winning numbers mega millions megamillions drawing olbermann mega millions march 30

Seton fundraiser held at golf course
NORTH BEND, Ohio - Golfers know it's a big deal to get a hole in one. And on Monday, And on Monday, Some Seton High School supporters hoped for the chance to earn more than bragging rights at Aston Oaks Golf Club.
The school's athletic association hosted its fourth annual golf fundraiser.? This fundraising event was served with a twist; competitors needed a touch of fate and luck to win.?? Women and men were able to tee it up during the competitive, yet charitable cause.
Members of the community purchased a golf ball for $5 each with an assigned number. Firefighters climbed their work truck ladder and dropped 3,000 balls, from the sky, and all at once. The winner would have to make it on the hole, or come close to claim the grand prize.
"It's rare that one makes it in that close, but if they do it they get $1,000," said Seton Athletic Booster President Joe Moehring. The ball farthest away from the intended target also got a prize of $250.
Rain may have delayed the festivities for almost 20 minutes, but Mother Nature didn't deter the golfing enthusiasts.
"It's a great day to be here, great turnout, but it's a serious thing we're trying to do, trying to raise funds for student athletes on the field."
Moehring said proceeds from the fundraiser will help student athletes them with pay-to play fees.? This year, he said the organization raised more than $40,000.
