Kavari(pulli) Maan - Spotted Deer

In my school day, my grand maa used to tell me stories. She often uses a King or Jungle as her story base. When ever she starts to narrate a story about Jungle, c often uses Rabbit, Deer, Wolf and Lion as the main characters.. Also, all those Jungle animals had the capacity to speak to each other ....

Coming to Kavari Maan(Spotted Deer), it is soft charactered used to play with her kids and often spend time in grass lands..It would always advice her kids not to get into deep forest, 'dont let out of my eye sites'.. One fine morning the kids would get into deep jungle and got life threat by some Wolf and finally got rescued by little cleaver Rabbit. Also, she add saying those Deers wants to spend their time together with their frnds and relatives, more sensitive in nature. They had a peculiar character like, whenever a human or some other animal approaches it and touches its hair means it will die at the spot...

Stories apart... Today i read The Hindu paper dated 25th May page-5 under the heading 'Rescue bid costs deer life'. The animal which was spotted by the Villagers in the morning was brought by the villagers in morning, was brought alive to the police station where it succumbed to injuries. Shortly after post-mor-tem was performed. Dr said the three-year-old male deer, which sustained head injury, died of heart failure owing to excess secretion of adrenaline and testosterone. According to him, the spotted deer, bearing the zoological name 'Axis axis', is the most sensitive animal, which prefers to live in the grass-lands rather than thick jungles, as it helps them to easily locate the predators.

The ''safe-distance" in the case if this species is very less. Even tranquilizers could not be used to rescue the animal in view of its sensitive nature. Secretion of adrenaline and testosterone would have increased manifold, thereby shooting up its blood pressure and heartbeat when a group of persons attempted to capture it.

Now i started wondering how come my grand ma knows all about it, most of her comment about deer is true.

• It lives in grass lands, wont prefer to get into deep forest
  
• Will die if some one try approaching it
• More sensitive
  

Thanks grand maa... i will tell this storied to my kids......

Subject: Withdrawal of Offer to Acquire Yahoo!

This afternoon I sent the attached letter [see update 2 here for letter to Yahoo] to Jerry Yang announcing that Microsoft has withdrawn its proposal to acquire Yahoo. We proposed the deal in the belief that a Microsoft-Yahoo merger would create a combined company with the resources and assets to win in the fast-growing market for advertising and online services.

Although the acquisition of Yahoo would have accelerated our ability to deliver on our strategy in advertising and online services, I remain confident that we can achieve our goals without Yahoo. We have a strategy in place to do so and we will continue to expand on this strategy and accelerate our progress.

Our strategy has three components:

· Deliver on the basics. We will continue to improve search relevance and build out our ad platform.

· Change the game through innovation. We will expand investments in engineering and deliver transformative tools and Web experiences.

· Expand our global scale and focus. We will pursue partnerships and investments to realize the competitive advantages that come with scale.

At the heart of our strategy is a commitment to bring the benefits of competition, choice, and innovation to everyone who uses the Internet—from consumers to content creators to advertisers.

We are 100 percent focused on executing on this strategy and we have made good progress in a very short time. We’ve improved search relevance dramatically, introduced compelling new search verticals, successfully integrated aQuantive, and added nearly 100 new publishers to our ad platform. In the last couple of months we’ve rolled out new versions of key products including Internet Explorer and Silverlight, and introduced new technologies like Live Mesh. We now have over 430 million active users of our Windows Live services worldwide. And we continue to add new technologies with acquisitions such as YaData, which brings leading-edge behavioral targeting technology, and Caligari, which gives us advanced 3D modeling capabilities that will help us continue to improve Virtual Earth.

Ultimately, our goal is to build the industry-leading business in search, online advertising, media, and social networking.

We are absolutely committed to being the leader in each of these areas. Now is the time to do what we have always done best—be tenacious, focus on the long term, innovate, and keep working hard.

I want to thank all of you for your patience during this process and for your dedication and hard work across all of our businesses. We asked that you remain focused on our goals through these cycles, and you have done this extremely well. We are committed to making the investments that will enable us to compete and, ultimately, lead in the online services and advertising businesses. Together, I know we will succeed.

Steve
