Buy-outs of family/private firms represent a significant part of the overall buy-out market in Turkey.When considered that 95% of the companies in Turkey are family owned business, and most of them seeking a safe fund, Private Equity Companies most probably will be the best option for this kind of companies. Advantages of family companies There are some advantages of the family owned businesses that is investing in would be profitable for the investor too, such as; In family owned businesses both in establishment and acceleration levels, mostly family members try to create fund by putting up their profit share. Because their company name also presents their honor, which means that the business and family name are nested; they mostly consider future of the company compared to profit that gained from the company. Therefore, due to this sentimental view of family owned businesses, they can be experience and motivation enhancer for the employer working in the company, which is very important for the growth. Dynamism: Because of bureaucracy pressure is less than any other non-family businesses, the company gain dynamism. Therefore, it is much easier to accommodate to changes and the new opportunities may be evaluated more efficient. Quick Decisions: Generally because decisions have been taken by one person or one small family group there is a very fast decision making procedure compared to more corporate firms. Potential Pitfalls The main pitfalls are lack of openness and control of the company. Lack of Openness: There is a temptation of keeping the business to the family in Turkey . Most family businesses are tightly run by the family but very few outsiders. Outsiders can work with the family but in general they are not at the top of the company. Control of the Company: For the family owned business giving up the control would not be that easy. When you think of that the owner who established the company and increased the profit, the giving up idea could be a hard decision mostly in the companies where business and family relations clasped to each other very tightly. Therefore, management without institutionalization of the family owned businesses can be challenging for the PEs. ( Private Equities ) In conclusion, family owned businesses have some pitfalls however the organizational structure is simple, effective and manageable. How to Add Value to a Family Owned Business Family owned business have been struggling with sustainable capital growth need decrease in profitability of the company, risks and uncertainty. In order to solve such problems, determination of efficient strategies, efficient use of resources has a significant role in accordance with the growth in capital. Applicable corporation policy must be determined in case of determination of organizational and operational strategies, and application of the strategies aimed at family owned companies, profitability increase, determinations of Portfolio Company in conformity with the targets that were set before. Within this is scope, benefiting from new Capital Market Board (CMB) CommuniquÉ which was prepared accordance with Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) rules, would be very helpful to fill the gaps in management of the company. Conclusion Even though family owned businesses have some pitfalls, private equity companies may turn these into an advantage and make profit by investing in these companies. Because family owned businesses are seeking for fund, private equity companies are going to a perfect capital if reconstruction of the family owned businesses can be succeed in accordance with the institutionalization principles foreseen both in Turkish and international legislations. On the other hand, family values are important for the company since business and family are nested as mentioned above. Therefore, if PEs can recognize that value and work together for the common good, family owned businesses can be the best competitive advantage for them.

Prince Charles carries out whirlwind tour of Cumbria
Last updated at 16:48, Tuesday, 03 April 2012
If the snow and driving rain put off Prince Charles during his visit to Wigton he certainly didn't show it.
His Royal Highness shook hands, chatted to locals and accepted gifts while walking through the town centre this afternoon.
The visit was in recognition of the 750th anniversary of the town's Market Charter and involved trips through the town's Youth Station, the Fountain Art Gallery and St Mary's Church before heading to the Market Hall and viewing assembled exhibits.
Despite the unseasonable snow, townsfolk turned out in huge numbers and were delighted by the Prince's friendly and easy-going nature.
For a full report of the Prince's visit to Wigton and more pictures see tomorrow's News & Star.
After leaving Wigton, he viewed presentations from youngsters supported by The Prince's Countryside Fund in Cumbria and met fund supporters at a reception at Greystone House Farm in Stainton.
The final stop in his whirlwind tour was Dalemain, near Penrith, to celebrate the eighth International Dalemain Marmalade Festival and Awards. He was due to taste marmalade entries from this year's festival and meet supporters and volunteers.
For a full report and pictures of the Prince's visits to Stainton and Dalemain see tomorrow's News & Star.
The Prince of Wales had a packed schedule for his day in Cumbria.
It began with a morning tipple as he helped mark the 10th anniversary of Hawkshead Brewery.
He pulled a pint of Windermere Pale and gave the royal seal of approval to the aromatic beer, saying it was "hoppy" and "tasty".
The firm is among 40 located on a "green" business park in the South Lakeland village of Staveley.
Charles unveiled a plaque to commemorate the company's anniversary and was presented with a selection of bottled ales.
He chatted with other business owners and also toured More? The Artisan Bakery run by local couple Patrick and Louise Moore.
Mr Moore's seven-year-old daughter Milly presented The Prince of Wales with a bread basket of more goodies.
Charles also dropped in at handmade furniture makers Waters & Acland, where he was given a view of its craftsmanship and met the firm's first apprentice.
He then went on to meet staff and volunteers at Dove Cottage - the home poet William Wordsworth shared with his sister Dororthy from 1799 to 1808 - and the next-door Wordsworth Museum.
Charles - patron of the Wordsworth Trust - studied a passage in Dorothy's diary which inspired the poem Ode - Intimations Of Immortality from recollections of early childhood, which he chose as a reading at his wedding to the Duchess of Cornwall in 2005.

Benghazi investigators gave Hillary Clinton heads-up on findings
The leaders of the State Department's Benghazi probe defended their inquiry into the 2012 attack, but they acknowledged to Congress on Thursday that their mission was limited in scope and faced questions over why they gave Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton an advance look at their findings.
Retired Adm. Mike Mullen, vice chairman of the accountability review board, also acknowledged that he had warned Mrs. Clinton's chief of staff not to send a particular official to Congress because he thought "she would be a weak witness" who might have hurt the State Department's stance.
Republicans said those moves called into question the motives of the review, which was supposed to be an independent look at what went wrong in the attack and how to prevent others.
"If this is so independent, why are you giving the State Department a heads-up about a witness coming in front of this committee?" said Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican. He said the warning came just days after Adm. Mullen had been appointed to the review board.
Adm. Mullen testified to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee alongside former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering, chairman of the review board.
Also appearing before the committee were the parents of two of the Americans who died in the attacks. They said the government failed them and has not been truthful about the events surrounding the assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission, falsely blaming the attack on reaction to a YouTube video critical of Islam.
"I was told a few things, and they were all lies," said Pat Smith, mother of State Department officer Sean Smith. She said President Obama and his top aides came up to her at the casket ceremony when her son's body was returned to the U.S.
"Every one of them came up to me, gave me a big hug, and I asked them what happened. Please tell me. And every one of them said it was the video. And we all know that it wasn't the video. Even at that time they knew it wasn't the video. So they all lied to me," she said.
Also Thursday, Rep. Darrell E. Issa, California Republican and chairman of the oversight committee, said he has signed subpoenas to demand testimony from two witnesses who he said talked to the review board but whom the State Department has refused to allow to talk to Congress.
"The State Department has not made those people available, has played hide-and-go-seek and is now hiding behind a thinly veiled statement that there is a criminal investigation," Mr. Issa said.
The attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi and follow-up attack on an annex building left four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, dead.
The incident became a major controversy for Mr. Obama and his team, who first blamed a mob responding to the anti-Islam video before later acknowledging that the attack was a coordinated terrorist assault.
The review board was created to investigate the security lapses that led to the attack and the lack of response from the government during the two assaults, which spanned eight hours.
Mr. Pickering defended the conclusions, which identified a handful of department employees who failed at their jobs, and made recommendations about security precautions.
"I am aware that no report will ever be perfect, but I am proud of this one, which has been seen by many as clear, cogent and very hard-hitting, as it should be," Mr. Pickering said. "New information is always welcome. I feel that this report is still on the mark, free of cover-up and political tilt, and will personally welcome anything new which sheds light on what happened and that helps us to protect American lives and property in the future."
Adm. Mullen said board members interviewed everyone they thought was necessary, more than 100 people, to draw their conclusions.
He said the list of those they interviewed didn't include Mrs. Clinton, who appointed four out of the review board's five members, nor did they interview Tom Donilon, national security adviser at the time, because they saw no evidence that either of them made key decisions related to the attack.
"We followed the precepts that Adm. Mullen has just outlined for you, not to go for the people who didn't make the decisions, but to go, following the will of Congress, to the people who made the decisions," Mr. Pickering said. "And indeed, we went to the people who reviewed those decisions."
Republicans weren't satisfied.
"If the secretary wasn't involved, I must be on another planet," said Rep. John L. Mica, Florida Republican.
At another point Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Utah Republican, questioned why no military rescue mission had been mounted, saying the U.S. didn't even ask for assistance from NATO allies who were close to the scene.
"I actually commanded NATO forces, and the likelihood that NATO could respond in a situation like that was absolutely zero," Adm. Mullen fired back.
Democrats said Republican accusations of a whitewash were out of bounds.
"Based on all of the evidence obtained by this committee, this Benghazi review was one of the most comprehensive ARB reviews ever conducted," said Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the committee. "I've seen no evidence, none whatsoever, to support these reckless accusations."
Ahead of the hearing, committee Democrats released a report concluding that there was never a "stand-down" order issued to Americans at the main embassy in Tripoli, Libya's capital, who might have mounted a rescue mission. That contradicts a claim many Republicans have made.
But Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, one of the former SEALs who was killed in the attack, was not convinced.
"We need to ask the people that were there, not rely upon hearsay evidence as to whether or not there was an order to stand down," he told the committee. "Ambassador Stevens was alive for a substantial period of time after he made that initial distress call. It's very possible that there would have been no loss of life if that first order to stand down had not been given. We need to find that out."

Now that the boys are older and marriage is over, focusing on me
and learning from previous mistakes. I'm independent and can hold
my own in the business world and taking care of my home. But I like
being a woman, being feminine, and being treated like a lady. I
miss being with a man and seeing things through his perspective. I
miss going out. I don't feel my age, but ready to do things I
couldn't before. A part of me must be a water baby because I want
to be out and about, in and on the water - sailing, snorkeling,
riding a jet ski, swimming with the dolphins! I look forward to
travelling with someone who will share in the awesomeness of the
moments. I've learned not to take most things too seriously and
that "some" rules are just meant to be broken. I've definitely
learned it's a lot easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask
permission. I like doing fun and silly things and have been told
I'm fun to be around.

What I'm doing with my life
Focusing on getting my boys through college and on their own while
I continue doing what I do best at work - project management.
Trying to allow myself time to do things I've always wanted to do -
sailing, travelling. Not looking to "climb the coprorate ladder"
now, but perhaps a career change in a few years.
I'm really good at
Listening, being supportive. I'm a nurturer, giver and protector of
those less fortunate and my family and friends.
The first things people usually notice about me
My legs and smile.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I enjoy mysteries, thrillers, romance, comedies in books and
movies. No horror. Something different than when you turn on the TV
news or read the paper. Favorite movies: An Affair to Remember,
Indiscreet and The American President (yes, all chick flicks, but
then again, I'm a chick). I prefer oldies music - Motown, 50's -
80's; smooth jazz. Don't like a lot of noise - again enough of that
just turning on TV or walking down the street. Not a lot of foods I
won't try and don't like.
The six things I could never do without
Family, Friends, Spirituality, Good Health, Meaningful
Work/Purpose, Chocolate
I spend a lot of time thinking about
what's next, at the same time realizing I need to appreciate every
moment as it comes
On a typical Friday night I am
Unwinding from the work week
I'm looking for
- Straight guys only
- Ages 49–65
- Near me
- Who are single
- For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating
You should message me if
you are a non-smoker and are on the East Coast between Delaware and
North Carolina. I'm not interested in long-distance relationships.
I want to meet someone who can sail or would like to learn. Also,
please don't be allergic to cats or a Tea Party Republican

I am his 1st cousin 4 times removed. His mother was my 3rd great aunt. Her brother James Baxter and Hannah Morrison are my 3rd great grandparents. That makes us distant cousins. So glad I found cousins on the Burns line.

RE: Seitz graves
I responded to this message when I got it, but I don't think it went. I don't live in Arkansas (Fort Worth, TX) - we were there photographing the graves of family members in several cemeteries for our family tree. I try to put all photos on Find A Grave so others can see them. The name of the cemetery changed to Vaughan-Whitener several years ago so check under that name for any you may be looking for - I entered 100+ photos there. I am related in some way to almost everyone in this cemetery so we took a lot of pictures. Neither my husband nor I remember Thomas C. Whiteley or any Whiteley. There are quite a few unmarked graves & graves marked with only field stones so one of those could be him. I don't know of an index, but I bought a book published by the Madison County Genealogical Society, "History of Hindsville, Arkansas - The Town, The Area, and The People", which has a lot of great information in it. Someone had walked the Evans, Hindsville, Vaughan-Whitener, and some smaller cemeteries and read and recorded all burials. I looked there but didn't find Thomas. Two other larger cemeteries in Madison County are Colbaugh and Clifty. When it gets warmer, we are going back to finish photographing the other cemeteries and I will watch for him. Will let you know if we find him. Carolyn

The food and service was good. The place was packed. It's very loud so it works well for young children.
Great place to escape the snow for some tasty comfort food and a cocktail . Cozy and warm booths, rustic and woodsy bar, perfect for Traverse City. Mac and cheese choices with a pint pwrfwct on a cold day. I'll be back in the summer too.
Went to Blue Tractor on a Saturday evening with 5 friends. Had a great menu, good atmospher and fair prices for the quality of the food. Decent beer selection too!
My husband and I took a mini vacation to Traverse City this week and while visiting a store we asked for suggestions on where to eat. They said we couldn't go wrong with anywhere downtown and the Blue Tractor was one of the places they suggested. I had looked through many of the travel books at the condo we stayed at and never even saw the Blue Tractor listed, so I must've overlooked this place! :-(
The Blue Tractor did not disappoint us. We both enjoyed the pick 2 BBQ which we both got the brisket and ribs. That meal comes with french fries and cole slaw, although I would have preferred a different choice of potato. The BRISKET melted in our mouths, it was so very tender!!! My ribs were very good, my husband's not so great..his were pretty tough. The cole slaw needed some sugar for our tastes, but that was easily fixed!!!
The service was average and they were not very busy at the time of our visit. My husband ran out of tea and could have used more before our waitress came back to ask if he wanted any. And my biggest pet peeve of all, is that she didn't say thank you to us. We could have picked any other restaurant in TC so we would have appreciated a thank you for choosing Blue Tractor to spend our hard earned money. Sadly it is becoming the norm not to say thank you, no matter where we go!
Went on a Saturday night and the place was packed. Only had about a 15 minute wait however. Great selection of food from pizzas to burgers and other fare. Pizzas were great and the beer selection is quite impressive. Only complaint was that the place is really dark. Bit hard for old tired eyes to read the menus!

Video Vault: Baseball and snow familiar couple in Cleveland; Indians Opening Day weather runs gamut
CLEVELAND - WEWS reporter Paul Kiska has a saying he uses year-round no matter the Cleveland weather: "This could be Opening Day." And his observation is true.
Opening Day baseball over the years along the North Coast been snowed out, played in drizzle, started in warm sunshine while nine innings later, cold weather and fog take over.
The video in our player contains three example of winter reminding us he wasn't quite ready to give up his icy grip.
First up, a story Paul Kiska did in 2001. Just one week prior to that year's April 2 opener, snow covered the field and icicles clung to much of the Jacob's Field seating area. Paul, who pitched in high school at Lorain Catholic , throws a perfect snowball strike to finish his snow story.
One week later, according to the official box score, the temperature at game time was 54 degrees. The Indians beat the White Sox 12-5.
Next, fast forward to April 6, 2007 for John Kosich's story of the infamous snow out. The grounds crew resorted to leaf blowers to blow snow off the field. It worked, for a while.
The Indians were one out away from an official game win against the Seattle Mariners.
Mariners' manager Mike Hargrove, known as the "human rain delay" in his days as a player for his deliberate style of preparing in the batter's box, delayed enough with conferences with umpires. The game was canceled.
Not only was the 2007 opener snowed out, the entire series was canceled. The Indians played their next home opponents, the Anaheim Angels, in Milwaukee.
Finally, I've included a cruel April Fool's joke. April 1, 1996, the opener against the Yankees was postponed due to 7 inches of heavy, wet snow. As you can see in the story from Joe Pagonakis, later that day, the snow was gone, melted away.
Joe ends his story with an interview with the "Professor", the late sports talk show host Geoff Sindelar.
The next day, the Yankees beat the Tribe 7-1 the begin the 1996 season.
Play ball!

Jonas Hiller turned aside all 18 Phoenix shots and Ryan Getzlaf posted an empty-net goal and an assist as the Anaheim Ducks blanked the Phoenix Coyotes 2-0. Corey Perry had the Ducks' other goal.
SPIN: Perhaps Hiller's demise was a little exaggerated. He rode the Ducks' coattails at the start of the season but got replaced by Victor Fasth between the pipes. Hiller was able to turn away a Phoenix team that has the third-best offense in the Western Conferfence so he's back on my radar if I'm looking for a waiver-wire goaltender. Phoenix struggled to generate offense in this game but got a good game out of backup goaltender Jason LaBarbera who made 22 saves.
Daniel Carcillo's goal with 49.3 seconds left in regulation broke a 2-2 tie and lifted Chicago to its 11th straight win, this one a 3-2 triumph over Colorado. The Hawks are 21-0-3 halfway through the season. Take a moment and meditate on that. Go on. We'll wait.

Small Victories for Cigar Shop: De La Concha Fights Smoking Ban One Dinner at a Time
Tom Johansmeyer
Jun 28, 2008 in
Tom Johansmeyer
Manhattan tobacconist De la Concha has refined the formula for surviving a smoking ban. Every few months, the store invites its guests over for dinner and making the seemingly impossible come true: a cigar after a meal.
Manhattan tobacconist
De la Concha
has refined the formula for surviving a smoking ban. Every few months, the store invites its guests over for dinner and making the seemingly impossible come true: a cigar after a meal. While major restaurants such as Sparks and The Palm have had to end the practice of an after-dinner smoke, De La Concha has introduced a pre-cigar meal, circumventing the city's smoking ban and littering the faces of guests with broad smiles.
New York joined a wave of smoking bans that swept across the country in 2003. Restaurants and bars could no longer allow guests to light up indoors. Of course, there are a handful of exceptions. Carnegie Club and Hudson Bar and Books, for example, accommodate indoor smoking. But, they offer little more than liquor. A full meal is possible at Club Macanudo on the Upper East Side, but the upscale establishment becomes crowded quickly. The Grand Havana Room is the most famous … and exclusive. Membership is required, and there is a waiting list.

Cuba cigar auction rakes in $1.1 million
De La Concha General Manager Ron Melendi noted the cigar smoking situation in New York and realized the need for something new. The De La Concha cigar dinners began as a way for customers to enjoy a meal, a smoke and each other's company. "People had run out of options," Melendi explains, "so we created a new one.
Steve Zak
Every quarter, Melendi hosts a dinner, features a brand and welcomes around 30 guests to his mid-town Manhattan cigar shop. For a modest price of $100 to $150, regular customers and first-time visitors receive an open bar, four-course dinner and a handful of cigars (the amount varies from one dinner to the next). Liquor vendors and cigar manufacturers join Melendi and his catering partner, restaurant Rue 57, to make the events successful. Every detail is watched carefully, down to the coffee served with the last cigar.
Steve Zak
The most recent event, held on June 11, 2008, featured the
Davidoff Reserva 12
line of cigars. The reserve 12, a Davidoff Limited Edition blend, consists of five different filler tobaccos, some aged for 12 years, and produces a strong, complex flavor. The depth of taste will not overwhelm a novice smoker but will still appeal to veteran connoisseurs.
A rare treat, Nikolaos Renieris, CEO of coffee equipment manufacturer
, was on hand to help guests find the right espresso blends for the final cigars of the evening. "Most people don't realize the importance of pairing coffee and cigars," Renieris explains. "This is the last taste of the evening," he continues, "if you don't get it right, it can taint an otherwise amazing experience." Despite being a guest himself, he happily fielded requests for espresso recommendations, some before he had even finished his entrée.
The De La Concha cigar dinners are not elite affairs. Much like the customers who pass through the shop on a daily basis, the events draw smokers from every corner of society. They come for one reason: to enjoy a cigar and a meal with fellow smokers. New York may have a smoking ban, but De La Concha has found a way to make dinner a bit more enjoyable for its guests.

October 2012: Halloween Cocktails
Deadline: Wednesday, October 17, 2012
The theme for the October 2012 cocktail contest is Halloween cocktails. Your recipe needs to fit the theme of Halloween. It can include any distilled spirits or be non-alcoholic. Keep in mind that the drink does have to be original.
Important Note: Due to the theme, this contest is going to require that you submit a photo of the drink. The best Halloween cocktails are 75% taste, 20% visual, and 5% creative name. Use your imagination, come up with a creative looking, great tasting drink and don't forget about the garnish (though not required, the garnish can often define a drink as Halloween-worthy). Also note, you will not be judged on the quality of the photo itself, it is simply to give us a visual idea of your interpretation of the drink's appearance.
If you have created a Halloween cocktail that you think could grab our panel's attention, submit it. The winning drink will be featured in a spotlight on About.com Cocktails and placed permanently in the cocktail collection.
