wiki VC:
In 1973, with the number of
new venture capital firms
increasing, leading venture
capitalists formed the National
Venture Capital
Association (NVCA). The
NVCA was to serve as
the industry trade group for the
venture capital industry.

U2 singer Bono's investments into Elevation Partners, which has offices in New York and
Menlo Park, have helped make him the "worst investor investor in America," according to the
online publication 24/7 Wall Street.
With large investments in Palm, Forbes, and Move.com -- "an unprecedented string of
disastrous investments which even bad luck could not explain" -- Elevation Partners has
earned the distinction of being "arguably the worst run institutional fund of any size in the
United States," 24/7 Wall Street asserts.
Bono is listed on Elevation's website as one of the five leaders, along with Fred Anderson,
former CFO at Apple Computer, Marc Bodnick, founding principal of Silver Lake Partners,
Roger McNamee, co-founder of Silver Lake and Integral Capital Partners and Bret Pearlman,
former senior managing director of The Blackstone Group.

Low data rate and intelligible
voice communication in harsh
acoustic environments
Military, civil and emergency personnel frequently must talk in harsh noise
environments using low data rate narrowband radios. Voice communication
at very low data transmission rates is a challenge that has traditionally
required sacrificing signal quality for low data rate. BBN's low data rate
Noise Robust Vocoders solve this problem, as illustrated in the diagram
below.

The third board member of Facebook is Jim Breyer. He is a
partner in the venture capital firm Accel Partners, who put $12.7
m into Facebook in April 2005. On the board of such US giants as
Wal-Mart and Marvel Entertainment, he is also a former chairman
of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). Now these
are the people who are really making things happen in America,
because they invest in the new young talent, the Zuckerbergs
and the like. Facebook’s most recent round of funding was led by
a company called Greylock Venture Capital, who put in the sum
of $27.5m. One of Greylock’s senior partners is called
Howard Cox, another former chairman of the NVCA, who is
also on the board of In-Q-Tel. What’s In-Q-Tel? Well,
believe it or not (and check out their website), this is the
venture-capital wing of the CIA.

Automatically finding information in speech, such as topics, events and
named entities is one of the main goals of the speech recognition process.
At BBN we are developing techniques that can accommodate various levels
of acoustic resources that are available to a user. Even in cases where there
are no transcriptions available or where there may not be a written form for
the language under consideration, we have algorithms that can provide
useful information for a user.
In the case of very limited knowledge about the sounds of a spoken
language, a user need only provide the information extraction system with
examples of speech that are on a topic or event of interest. Based on this
input from the user, a speech recognizer and topic/event classifier are
automatically trained to extract from the audio data passages that are on
the desired topic or event. The automatic training process of the speech
recognizer does not require any input about the sounds of the language
from the user. The automatic training algorithms will discover, from the
speech data, a set of phone and syllable like units to use in the recognition
process.
After 9/11, the US intelligence community became so excited by
the possibilities of new technology and the innovations being
made in the private sector, that in 1999 they set up their own
venture capital fund, In-Q-Tel, which “identifies and partners
with companies developing cutting-edge technologies to help
deliver these solutions to the Central Intelligence Agency and the
broader US Intelligence Community (IC) to further their
missions”.
