Huh, interesting. So, I had this set of maps that had the names of the 
functions that I wanted to be started in their own threads once the app 
started up, but apparently only the first one gets called:


   :events-called-when-the-app-starts-that-run-in-their-own-threads-hooks #{
                                                                            
{:order-of-events 1 :event-name "omniture-fetch-new-data"}
                                                                            
{:order-of-events 2 :event-name "persist-new-log-data-to-database"}
                                                                            
{:order-of-events 3 :event-name 
"omniture-call-api-for-report-if-status-is-ready"}                         
                  
                                                                            
}


omniture-fetch-new-data fires up, but the other 2 functions do not. Does 
the one sort of hijack everything else?
