Even as the major carriers struggled with low adoption rates for video, it appeared that upstart Amp'd Mobile had found a demographic sweet spot producing original content for its young, hip audience. Its first hit show, an animated series called Lil' Bush, functioned as both effective viral marketing and Trojan horse for the upselling of premium content, drawing subscribers to a platform that yielded 4 million downloads of video, music, and games in the first quarter of 2007 and leading Amp'd to a revenue-per-user tally more than twice the industry average. Yet in June, even as it was making history by becoming the first to take a show from the tiny screen to the small one -- striking a deal with Comedy Central for a half-hour weekly TV version of Lil' Bush -- Amp'd filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, saying that its "back-end infrastructure was unable to keep up with customer demand."</description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jul 2007 01:30:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Wiener-wolfing contest has new chomp-ion</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/07/04/hot.dog.contest/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/07/04/hot.dog.contest/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Joey "Jaws" Chestnut unseated the six-time defending champion in Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest on Wednesday, eating 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes.</description><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jul 2007 11:25:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Volunteer dentists restore smiles to abuse survivors</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/06/18/hm.smile/index.html</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/06/18/hm.smile/index.html</guid><description>Susan Kauffman can't stop smiling.

You're not alone. A recent study by economists at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates that in 2005, Americans will shell out $84 billion for dental care, more than double what they spent in 1993--and that figure will grow 6.3% to 6.9% annually through 2014, when total outlays will reach $147 billion. That trend may be tough on your wallet, but it's good news for dental-supply companies like Dentsply and Sybron. One reason we're paying more for dental care is that we're living longer--and keeping our teeth. Another is that there are more things dentists can do to make teeth look good. In the early 1970s, according to government statistics, about 46% of people ages 65 to 74 had lost all their teeth. Twenty years later that figure dropped to less than 29%. "People know they will live longer and are going to great lengths to keep their natural teeth," says Floyd Pickrell Jr., CEO of Sybron.
