REFILE-Altimo asks regulator to allow it to proceed with Orascom Telecom buyout
- Tweet
- Share this
MOSCOW May 27 (Reuters) - Russia's Altimo said on Monday it had asked the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority to waive the minimum take-up requirement in order to proceed with its buyout of minority shareholders of Orascom Telecom .
Orascom Telecom shareholders offered to sell 15.9 percent of shares listed on the Egyptian stock exchange in a buyout offer from an Altimo subsidiary, below the minimum 26.6 percent required for the buyout.
"Even though this number falls below the 26 percent minimum threshold, this is still a significant percentage representing one third of the freefloat of OTH," Altimo said in emailed comments.
"Therefore Altimo would like to honour its commitment of buying the shares at 70 cents from all shareholders that tendered and hence has applied to EFSA to waive this minimum requirement."
Altimo also said the assertions that the offer has failed were wrong as it has yet to hear back from the regulator.

With the hottest start-ups widely sought after, VC firms try new ways to stand out.
Silicon Valley appears to be seeing a power shift from VCs to entrepreneurs.
A decade ago, The New York Times notes, entrepreneurs had to milk every possible connection to score a meeting with a venture capital firm--but today, the hottest entrepreneurs often have the upper hand, scheduling coffee dates selectively only after combing through the coverage of each of the multiple firms vying for their attention.
Each year about 15 deals account for 97% of all venture capital profits, reports the paper. So the start-ups likely to bring high margins can be more choosy about whose money they accept. That change is powering a strategic change for VC firms, the Times finds: Where VC culture once scorned self-promotion, venture capital firms are amping up efforts to stand out.
To attract both entrepreneurs and the support of institutional investors, an increasing number of top firms have in the last year hired people to handle marketing, branding, and public relations.
The Times finds the gold-star example of successful VC self-promotion to be Andreessen Horowitz. In 2010, the firm hired Margit Wennmachers, a founder of Outcast Communications, to spearhead its public relations. "To be a top five firm, you have to brand yourself," Wennmachers told the Times. "We didn't want entrepreneurs to say, 'Who are these people?' We didn't want to start a fund by 'the tall guy who invented a browser,' so we pushed for press and set up a direct communication channel with blogs."
The firm's aggressive efforts have brought extensive media coverage and big money. In just three years the firm has raised more than any other venture capital firm, the paper notes--reeling in a cool $2.7 billion--and has developed a portfolio with such big names as Pinterest, GitHub, and Fab.

Columbus Alive came out with their annual "Best Of Columbus" issue yesterday, and it's quite a list. What do you think? Did the voters get it right?
If you happen to be planning on going to Gallery Hop this weekend, make sure to check out Sole Classics from 8-10 PM (4/2). They're having an in-store performance from Fly.Union, a hip-hop group from Columbus, to preview their new album. Fly.Union has been gaining notoriety by collaborating with big name artists like Curren$y and Big Sean, and have some die hard hometown fans. I'm sure all the cool cats from Columbus will be at the in-store, and we'll be doing a follow-up post about Gallery Hop and such over the next week, so stay tuned.
Bruno Dragicevic
-Bruno was born in Croatia…yes that is a country in Europe. He and his family moved to Columbus Ohio when he was 8. He's currently a music DJ rising in popularity in Ohio. You can see him DJ every Tuesday at Level in the Short North Columbus. He will be DJ'ing at 8Fest in Athens Ohio later this year. He's also a student at Columbus State and will be enrolling at Ohio Dominican University in the fall. In the future Bruno would like to pursue DJ'ing as a career and one day own his own clothing business. I asked Bruno what makes him different from others and his response was, "what makes me different is when I deal with people i try to look at the situation through their eyes. everyone has a different story, a different struggle. I believe in standing up for the little guy, the person who cant defend themselves." I also asked Bruno to tell me a little bit about what he does to stay focused on his goals and how he stays positive in life. "The way I stay focused is reminding myself everyday where I want to be in life. failure is not an option. The way I live a positive life is by surrounding myself with a good company of people that motivate me." Bruno is a smart guy who makes smart choices. He's focused on his goals and he's willing to learn to get better which is something we all need to do. Keep it up my friend.

-In and Around Columbus
Ain't that some adorable shit right there? I've got a couple girl friends who strive to have their wedding at this place. It's crazy beautiful there. Take your girlfriend or your lonesome self to the conservatoire for a nice walk when it's nice out; pack a picnic or some shit (doesn't that sound like a perfect day date?). Soak up the great outdoors and maybe pick up some chicks who are into nature. Sounds like a good day to me.
You know what we really like about students of the Ohio State University?
They're cool enough to have earned the ire of those hateful jerks from the Westboro Baptist Church.

I told you they have in-stores. Ha.
When we say Columbus' Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams makes the best ice cream in America, we're not exaggerating. Alton Brown and the Food Network have made it official. We're not just in love with their flavors. Though, with flavors like Salty Caramel and Queen City Cayenne, who's to blame us? We're also quite fond of their dedication to local… well, everything. Too many times I've asked a friend to accompany me to Jeni's for a tasty treat (my obsession with Jeni's is unreal), and I give them that horrified look like they just told me they shoplift pregnancy tests when they say they've never been. You're not from Columbus, Ohio unless you have an unhealthy obsession with Jeni's.
The Gift of Raps
Yeah I know I'm cheating because he's actually from Cleveland but we must pay homage to our dear friend, Chip tha Ripper who has just released a new mixtape, Gift Raps.

Columbus is slightly lacking in the availability of street style apparel, but if you're looking to build up your sneaker/street style game, Sole Classics in the Short North is the place to go. They carry Nike, Snapbacks, G-Shocks, some GoodWoods, you name it. Also the place to get some Kingsrowe apparel if you're a fan. I've also heard small rumors about them maybe picking up an Adidas account, but don't put too much faith in that rumor yet. They throw an in-store for I think every Gallery Hop (so maybe once a month?) where they bring in some local talented DJ's, rappers, or someone up and coming in the underground scene. Always cool to go in there and see what kind of new stuff they've got in stock. Plus, the people working there aren't condescending little bastards about their sneaker knowledge like at most sneaker boutiques, they're just chill, super friendly, and helpful.

Colorado's economy awaits impact of new gun laws
Some firearms companies say they'll leave, while hunting and sporting-goods operations fear a loss of business.
Observers of Colorado's controversial new gun laws are watching and waiting to see whether the restrictions will have an economic impact on the state.
Two new laws took effect Monday. One requires a universal background check on gun purchases, and the other enforces limits on the size of ammunition magazines sold in the state -- some of the strictest gun laws yet in the Rocky Mountain region.
Many people among Colorado's large population of gun owners aren't pleased, especially about the ban on high-capacity magazines. Gun-rights advocates say the laws will be a setback for the local economy.
Earlier this year, Magpul Industries, which produces 30-round magazines, said it would move its operations elsewhere if the gun laws went into effect.
And over the weekend, ahead of the law's enactment, the company gave away hundreds of 20- and 30-round magazines to adults at a "Farewell to Arms" festival hosted by a Colorado gun-rights group in suburban Denver. Those large-capacity magazines will be grandfathered under the new law.
Magpul says it directly employs about 200 people in Colorado and supports 400 supply-chain jobs while adding more than $85 million annually to the state's economy.
Last month HiViz, a Fort Collins company that makes gun sights and firearm accessories, applied for a $2.5 million grant from the Wyoming Business Council to help move its operations to Laramie. That city's officials estimate HiViz could have a local economic impact of more than $145 million over a 10-year span.
The Colorado magazine limit also affects sports and hunting operations. "I had to take guns off the shelf this morning because I don't have magazines that'll fit them," Cañon City Sports Outlet co-owner Jason Gardner told the Daily Record. "There are some guns that they won't make magazines for."
"This is a very poorly thought-out, irrational law," Paul Paradis, the owner of Paradise Sales in Colorado Springs, told Fox News on Monday. "And the shame of it is it's not going to stop one criminal from doing harm to anybody."
Sheriffs from 54 of Colorado's 64 counties have filed a suit against the new laws, saying they're essentially unenforceable. A preliminary court hearing on their legal challenge is scheduled for next week.
This was simply a knee jerk reaction supported by our illustrious Gov. Lickenpooper after the Aurora Theater shootings and in response to the Newtown school shootings. It will only serve to keep the honest folks honest and the criminals will still get their magazines elsewhere.
I hope to GOD that people in this state that I love come to their senses before it's too late. Time to take action in the voting booths!!!

Warts Is Required for PI3K-Regulated Growth Arrest, Autophagy, and Autophagic Cell Death in Drosophila
Warts Is Required for PI3K-Regulated Growth Arrest, Autophagy, and Autophagic Cell Death in Drosophila

Cell growth arrest and autophagy are required for autophagic cell death in Drosophila. Maintenance of growth by expression of either activated Ras, Dp110, or Akt is sufficient to inhibit autophagy and cell death in Drosophila salivary glands, but the mechanism that controls growth arrest is unknown. Although the Warts (Wts) tumor suppressor is a critical regulator of tissue growth in animals, it is not clear how this signaling pathway controls cell growth.
Here, we show that genes in the Wts pathway are required for salivary gland degradation and that wts mutants have defects in cell growth arrest, caspase activity, and autophagy. Expression of Atg1, a regulator of autophagy, in salivary glands is sufficient to rescue wts mutant salivary gland destruction. Surprisingly, expression of Yorkie (Yki) and Scalloped (Sd) in salivary glands fails to phenocopy wts mutants. By contrast, misexpression of the Yki target bantam was able to inhibit salivary gland cell death, even though mutations in bantam fail to suppress the wts mutant salivary gland-persistence phenotype. Significantly, wts mutant salivary glands possess altered phosphoinositide signaling, and decreased function of the class I PI3K-pathway genes chico and TOR suppressed wts defects in cell death.
Although we have previously shown that salivary gland degradation requires genes in the Wts pathway, this study provides the first evidence that Wts influences autophagy. Our data indicate that the Wts-pathway components Yki, Sd, and bantam fail to function in salivary glands and that Wts regulates salivary gland cell death in a PI3K-dependent manner.

Ground Floor has been renewed for a second season, TBS announced Thursday.
The upstairs/downstairs workplace comedy, which stars Skyler Astin, Briga Heelan and John C. McGinley, was picked up for...read more
It's a Pitch Perfect reunion for Ground Floor's Skylar Astin when his costar from last year's hit movie — and real-life girlfriend — Anna Camp guests on the Dec. 26 episode of his new TBS comedy. read more
The "upstairs downstairs" framework we've come to love on Downton Abbey translates fairly well to the world of corporate workplace romantic comedy in TBS's Ground Floor, a likable if decidedly modest bauble from sitcom vets Bill Lawrence (Cougar Town) and Greg Malins (Friends), working in the too-often-disparaged mode of traditional multi-camera comedy. (The first two episodes air back-to-back Thursday starting at 10/9c.)
Briga Heelan stopped by our Los Angeles studio to give us all the details on the upcoming Pitch Perfect reunion, which will take place on her and Skylar Astin's new TBS show, Ground Floor. Briga gave us all the details and talked about her exciting new role.
Ground Floor centers on Brody (Skylar Astin), a hot-shot money manager who thought he was just having a fling with Jennifer (Briga Heelan), a beautiful, fun woman he meets at an office party. When he discovers that she works in the maintenance department for the building his firm is located in, their worlds begin to collide in the most unexpected ways. John C. McGinley also stars.
Does this sitcom really want us to root for bankers?
More Clips & Interviews
Brody faces a difficult choice between the job he always wanted with Mansfield and the love he never expected with Jenny. So he tries to come up with a third option. Threepeat is forced to stay with Harvard after losing his apartment, but he soon discovers Harvard's place in a converted funeral home isn't technically zoned for the living. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video and VUDU
When Jenny cashes in eight years of credit card points for a trip to Paris without Brody, he's left wondering where he stands. The time has come for him to tell her exactly how he feels about her … if Harvard will get out of his way long enough to do it. After lying on his resume, Threepeat has to learn fluent Mandarin in one day or face Mansfield's wrath. Meanwhile, Mansfield makes an announcement that could change everything. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video and VUDU
When Mansfield's assistant calls in sick, Jenny steps up to fill in. But it turns out that Mansfield has been hiding the fact that he's sick too. Now Jenny has to treat the world's worst patient, and Brody must step up to take the biggest meeting of his life without Mansfield by his side. Downstairs, meanwhile, Harvard is left in charge, but the power goes to his head when he goes toe-to-toe with Threepeat and the upstairs crowd who are demanding new phones. Also Available On Amazon Instant Video and VUDU
Jenny worries that Brody's hyper-competitive ex-girlfriend from business school, Heather (ANNA CAMP), is a better match for Brody. Mansfield gets in touch with his feminine side. Also Available On VUDU

As one of the stars of Broadway's Spring Awakening and the hit a capella film Pitch Perfect, Skylar Astin has won fans and stolen hearts thanks in no small part to his beautiful voice. Which is why it makes total sense that, despite the fact that he's playing a suit-wearing banker on the new workplace comedy Ground Floor (Thursday, 10/9c), TBS is putting his singing talents to good use. Not only does he get to rock out to Aerosmith in the show's promos, but he also belts some Elton John in the show's premiere. "It's always done with a comedy twist," Astin tells TVGuide.com. "It's always done out of a real, genuine story-driven moment and it never feels cheap or unearned. People are really going to have their cake and eat it too."
To preview his new show, in which his character, Brody, falls for a maintenance supervisor (Briga Heelan) who works on the ground floor of his building, Astin talked with TVGuide.com about moving to TV, co-star John C. McGinley's stories and performing in front of a live studio audience... read more

What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
America has some of the most varied and dynamic weather in the world. Every year, the Gulf Coast is battered by hurricanes, the Great Plains are ravaged by tornados, the Midwest is pummeled by blizzards, and the temperature in the Southwest reaches a sweltering 120 degrees. Extreme weather can be a matter of life and death, but even when it is pleasant72 degrees and sunnyweather is still central to the lives of all Americans. Indeed, it's hard to imagine a topic of greater collective interest. Whether we want to know if we should close the storm shutters or just carry an umbrella to work, we turn to forecasts. But few of us really understand the science behind them. All that changes withThe AMS Weather Book. The most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to our weather and our atmosphere, it is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to understand how hurricanes form, why tornados twirl, or even why the sky is cerulean blue. Written by esteemed science journalist and formerUSA Todayweather editor Jack Williams,The AMS Weather Book,copublished with the American Meteorological Society, covers everything from daily weather patterns, air pollution, and global warming to the stories of people coping with severe weather and those who devote their lives to understanding the atmosphere, oceans, and climate. Words alone, of course, are not adequate to explain many meteorological concepts, soThe AMS Weather Bookis filled with engaging full-color graphics that explain such concepts as why winds blow in a particular direction, how Doppler weather radar works, what happens inside hurricanes, how clouds create wind and snow, and what's really affecting the earth's climate. For Weather Channel junkies, amateur meteorologists, and storm chasers alike,The AMS Weather Bookis an invaluable tool for anyone who wants to better understand how weather works and how it affects our lives.
Author Biography
Jack Williams is former editor of USA Today Weather Page and author of The USA Today Weather Book. He is currently public outreach coordinator for the American Meteorological Society.

Building a healthy community of consumers who are enthusiastic about your brand doesn't happen overnight. It takes a strategic approach that involves listening before engaging. In this column, I will provide helpful strategies and advice for helping you foster the kind of community that draws in fans and motivates them to share positive experiences with their extended networks.
One of the first places to start building community is on Facebook, and the tips below will help you get started. In future columns, I will also provide similar advice for Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and other networks, including hosting your own social hubs on your website and branded message boards. But, for now, let's dive into the world's most popular social network – Facebook.
With more than 500 million people worldwide actively using Facebook to connect with not only family and friends but also brands, Facebook represents an incredibly powerful platform for building community. However, in order to be successful and not alienate consumers, marketers need to take a smart and measured approach. The following tips and best practices will help you build out a healthy community of brand advocates.
1. Conduct a brand audit. Facebook's search bar is an excellent way to get insight into how consumers think about your brand. Just type in your brand name and assess the nature of the conversations already taking place about your brand. Supplement that effort by leveraging listening/monitoring tools to better understand what is being said, where, and by whom. Finally, traditional market research also has a role. Survey customers to better understand how they currently use social media and what they'd like to see/receive from your brand.
2. Find a shared passion. Take cues from your customers and find common ground. The most successful communities are less about selling and more about connecting around a shared passion - be it music, entertainment, travel, or sports. Center the conversation around this shared passion and build a dialog around key events and interests.
3. Build your fan base. Now that you've identified a shared passion that will underpin your general community framework, the next step is to build your base. The best acquisition strategies leverage existing customer touchpoints as well as opportunities within Facebook's ecosystem. Take the following steps:
4. Keep your fans engaged. Once you've acquired fans, you need to create a compelling experience that keeps them engaged and actively participating. Keep in mind that engaging your fans is a journey, not a destination. The following tips should help you keep your fans engaged:
5. Foster trust. Being open isn't always easy. Many brands shy away from social media out of fear that their fans and followers may say something negative or turn on them. Deal with issues and problems in an open, transparent way. In fact, if you've done a good job offering value and engaging those who like your page, you may find these same people to be your biggest defenders. To build trust with your fans, do the following:
6. Analyze and optimize. So, how do you know if you're doing a good job? Tracking and analytics will help you get a handle on your page's performance. Try the following tracking tactics:
By following the best practices outlined above, you will be well on your way to creating a vibrant and mutually rewarding community on Facebook. However, it's important to never lose sight of the fact that Facebook is an evolving platform. No one person can keep up with all the developments, so make sure you partner right. Find an agency and/or support system that's well-versed on Facebook best practices and your brand, and has shown a proven ability to engage consumers.

For those of you who have not heard, Los Angeles was shaken today by a 5.8 Earthquake. There I was sitting, working quietly at home, wearing my fabby BedHead PJSwhen the house began to pitch…and pitch.. and pitch. It felt like it lasted 5 mins! I stumbled out in the street to escape, and then, it just stopped!!! BAM…the quake, ended, but my heart was still racing.
Needless to say, a short time later…my anxiety was out of control. I went to my local gym for a 1hr aquatic class, but that didn't even make a dent in my anxiety.
What was I to do?? Sadly, I took refuge with a favorite gal pal at the Cheesecake Factory in Redondo Beach and indulged in two Asian Pear Martinis. They were delicious, but pricey. However, still suffering in the aftershock, I was a prisoner to their prices and shelled out $22.00 for two of these amazing & calming potions. This mix of sake, vodka and pear liquer helped me forget that the BIG ONE, might be coming any second. Yes, California can get QUAKED at any moment, and there is nothing I can do. So, I took solice in my martinis When the quake hits, you can't wait for discounted drinks to be served–its a state of emergency.!!!
Although I personally did not benefit today, I did learn that even the mighty Cheesecake Factory is getting INTO the Recession spirit.
I want to pass onto two specials to my blog readers:
1) Tomorrow, July 3oth, all Cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory will be $1.50 per slice to celebrate their 30th anniversary. This is one day only!!!
2) The Cheesecake Factory Bar is now serving small appetizers from 4-6 pm at lower prices.
And finally, the best Tuesday night special is tonight in Hermosa Beach at Mediterraneo. Selected Tapas are half-price all night and drinks are discounted 5-7. If I wasn't still so shaken, not stirred, from the aftershocks, I'd be down at Mediterraneo right now!!
