I enjoy astounding people with the power of www.google.com, but the
surprise wont last long. Not since they have been given $24 million in
venture capital. Not bad for two grad students :)

When the vaccine for polio was found to be effective, the Board of
Directors of March of Dimes immediately developed strategies and a long
term plan to shift to other diseases, in part because it is the nature of
organisms to fight for survival, and i hope in part because they didnt want
to waste their expertise by allowing a viable organization to dissolve.

So shame on NTIS.
