Prestigious stock exchanges: A network analysis of international financial centers
In this paper, we use methods from social network analysis to assess the relative importance of financial centers around the world. Using data from virtually the entire universe of global equity activity, we present complete rankings for 45 separate locations for the period 1990–2006. Our analysis constructs a network measure of prestige based on their ability to attract global IPOs. U.S. exchanges are effectively the unique hosts for cross-border equity activity from many other locations. Moreover, they are the destination of choice for most companies coming from locations with highly prestigious exchanges. We also document the emergence of several competing stock exchanges from developed and emerging market economies. The ascent of these stock markets, however, might reflect improved conditions in a growing global market rather than a decline in the competitiveness of U.S. exchanges.

(Aug. 24, 2011)--Television personality Ross Mathews headlines UTSA Roadrunner Days with the comedy event "An Evening with Ross Mathews" at 8 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 25 in the Convocation Center on the UTSA Main Campus. The doors open at 7:15 p.m., and the event is free to UTSA students, faculty, staff and guests. Guests are permitted with members of the UTSA community; the comedy night may include mature content.
Known for his appearances as "Ross the Intern" on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and weekly panel stints on E!'s "Chelsea Lately," Ross Mathews has interviewed some of the biggest stars in the world and has made the nation laugh all the while. Whether covering movie premieres, the Winter Olympic Games, the Academy Awards, jumping out of a plane or shopping in London with pal Gwyneth Paltrow, Mathews' unique approach is always fresh, outrageous and fun. E! Entertainment Television named him one of the 30 Most Outrageous Celebrities, solidifying his spot as one of the most exciting personalities on TV today.
After graduating high school in Mount Vernon, Wash., Mathews moved to Southern California and attended the University of La Verne, where he graduated in 2002 with honors and a degree in communications. In his senior year in college, he interviewed for a position that would change his life -- as an intern for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
On the last day of internship, he was called into the head writer's office, who informed Mathews he was hired and was to leave immediately to interview George Clooney on the red carpet at the premiere of "Ocean's Eleven." Nine years later, Mathews has traveled the world interviewing everyone from Oscar winners to British royalty.
He has guest-hosted "The View" and appeared on "Celebrity Fit Club" and OWN's "Ask Oprah's All-Stars," along with continuing appearances on "Days of Our Lives." In 2009, Mathews was host and executive producer of "Inside Dish with Ross Mathews," a daily Web talk show on TheInsider.com. The unique and entertaining program drove high traffic to the website, highlighting his unique perspective through the eyes of a genuine fan as the "outsider on the inside."
In February, Mathews began touring colleges speaking on his experiences climbing the Hollywood ladder and offering his humorous take on pop culture. In March, he became a Jenny Craig spokesperson and already has shed 25 pounds in 12 weeks.
Mathews resides in Los Angeles with his family and blogs daily at HelloRoss.com.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

Egypt's Many Layers
Sarah has been struck by the contrasts of Egypt more than I have. Maybe its because I'm older, or because of those years in Moscow, but I'm grateful for the chance to see the city form her perspective. She has been spending more time on her balcony, not far from Tahrir. Last night, while I slept, she heard gunshots, which (she gleaned from Twitter) was probably the military attempting to disperse crowds in the square defying the curfew. The protesters are determined to remain a constant reminder that there is still a revolution underway.
Yesterday, Sarah and our translator, Mandi, stayed in the square while I went to an outpost of the BBC to do one interview and then to the garden restaurant of the fancy Marriott to do another. I met them in that moneyed garden, and Sarah said she'd been literally crushed by people in the square who saw a microphone as their ONLY way to get their voices out, their grinding poverty and their lack of opportunity, including a young woman holding a picture of her brother and crying that he had not been heard or seen since he was picked up by the authorities for no apparent reason.
Sarah was struck by the contrast of the chaos of the square with the leafy elegance of the Marriott just a few minutes away. Mandi identified several wealthy Egyptian businessmen, one planning a parliamentary run. We did the interview with a smooth young man newly hired to host one of State TV's most watched public affairs shows, two and a half hours in prime time, six nights a week. He said he knew he had a responsibility to bring Egypt's problems to the public. He said he didn't need the job and was willing to risk it. We'll see.
Then I ordered pizza and a Bloody Mary.

"Me and my sister... we have a past. We almost died at the hands of a witch. But that past made us stronger. We'd gotten a taste of blood. Witch blood. And we haven't stopped since."
In the middle of the night, young Hansel & Gretel are whisked off into the forest by their father for their protection. Though they do not know from what they are being protected, they are instructed to stay hidden when their father rushes off into the thick of the woods. Alone, the two wander and stumble upon a house made of candy where, once inside, they are trapped by a wicked witch. The witch feeds them candy (so much so that Hansel develops a condition akin to diabetes) in preparation for eating them. But through Gretel's cunning, the witch is defeated and burned in her own oven. Hansel & Gretel, with their parents disappeared dedicate their lives to ridding the world of the dark forces of witchcraft and evil. Now adults, they find a village devastated by the abduction of multiple children. With the impending 'blood moon' and a coven of strong witches with which to contend, Hansel & Gretel are dealing with their most serious threat.
What an enormous disappointment this feature film turns out to be. Norwegian Director Tommy Wirkola surprised and thrilled with his Nazi Zombie horror film Dead Snow, a bloody and entertaining B-movie horror adventure set in a frozen mountainous terrain of a Ski vacation where a group of medical students suffer at the hands of resurrected once-occupying German soldiers from Hitler's army. That film was efficient and understood exactly what it was. Hansel & Gretel addles between a serious take on the fairytale, an attempt at a witty adult action adventure, and an action film blending period settings with anachronistic dialogue and inventions – three potential tones that through a savvy screenplay could have achieved a playful synergy, but under the weight of a tone deaf script and aimless plotting becomes an insufferable bore.
Gemma Arterton as Gretel and Jeremy Renner as Hansel are given precious little to work with. Both are likeable stars seemingly on the upswing in their careers, but so little can be done with the poorly crafted characters that at times each seem genuinely bored. Renner in particular must tackle awkward expository dialogue (including explaining the silly injections he must take every few hours). As the Grand Witch Muriel, the lovely Famke Janssen delivers perhaps the most enthusiastic of all performances but even she is saddled with too little that makes her evil character standout (though she reportedly took the role to pay off her mortgage). Peripheral characters such as Pihla Viitalaas' Mina, Peter Stormare as the malignant Sheriff Berringer and Thomas Mann as Ben, the unnecessary third wheel to Hansel & Gretel, each add little to the overall experience.
Where Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters fails most deeply is the meandering, listless script and pervasive dullness painted over every inch of the film - save the closing minutes in the tag. The action is mostly clumsy and murky, characters are able to cover an absurd amount of ground in minutes in order to keep the pace up, and the witch hunters themselves are orchestrated onscreen as mostly incompetent, unskilled novices versus the experienced hunter-killers they are supposed to be. All in all a grave disappointment for what was an enticing idea for a fun, silly film.
Video Rating: 4.5/5 3D Rating: NA
Though a disappointment as entertainment, the quality if the 1080p image is anything but, with razor sharp clarity among even the darker moments onscreen that are accompanied by deep blacks and no obvious or noticeable unnecessary tweaking or tinkering. Colors are generally muted by design though the daytime sequences in the village set offer chances for some colors to pop. Details, particularly in close-ups, are very good.
Audio Rating: 4/5The lossless Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio option is good, delivering ably precise surround sound effects and a thunderous booming during action sequences that could wake up the neighbors. The ethereal bias of composer Atli Örvarsson (whose superb score for Babylon A.D. was a great surprise) has been replaced by a coarse bombast devoid of theme and nuance, but it is represented healthily here. Dialogue is issue-free in the center channel. Overall it's a fine audio that delivers the goods in all the requisite ways.
Special Features: 2/5A brief set of extra features that run shy of thirty minutes in total. Not much to see here and even the chance to show off the practical effects from the Edward character is short changed.

Recent Cabrera reviews
"6 couples visited Sunrise Villa for a bit of R&R and wanted to be spoiled and pampered. I had moderate expectations because there is nothing more than setting them too high and then being let down. Let me tell you, that won't happen here. If you are looking for a place that is clean, has everything you need (or will get it for you), excellent food, service and staff, this is your place. Mind you this is in the Northeast part of the country and considered 'country', not much in the way of resort traffic, busy streets, etc. Chris is on-site, ensuring everything is optimal and your are taken care of. Fresh food, vegetables and juices every few hours doesn't hurt either. Get there!"Guest: dave Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: September 10, 2015View listing
"We arrived to find the colorful establishment tucked behind a children's school and a lush palm grove. Maximo, the innkeeper, greeted us graciously and maintained the same positive and helpful attitude throughout our stay. There were many sleeping rooms to choose from, three in the downstairs main house (one includes its own bathroom, the other two share a bathroom,) the luxurious master bedroom/spa bathroom upstairs offers a large and private sundeck, and then of course there is the smaller private cabana perched right on the ocean's edge. The downstairs living room couch boast an elaborate train of pillows as well as a nice sound system and TV with ample stations. The Sea Dog is appropriately decorated with kitchy pirate and island themed flags, banners, and posters. The colors of the Sea Dog (seafoam green, salmon, and light yellow) compliment the surrounding flowers and the nearby ocean water. This brings me to the highlight of this fine Inn…. THE INFINITY POOL OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN! You can gradually walk into the warm pool like entering the sea and float around for hours or read a book under the man-made waterfall. When my young cousins arrived they were ecstatic over "la piscina" and spent all day splashing and playing on the multitude of pool floats. In my times out of the water I would lounge on one of the multiple lawn chairs or the sitting hammock. On my first day Maximo even cut me down a coconut and stuck a straw in it, the fresh coconut milk/water was delicious. The pool and patio not only offer a breathtaking view of the ocean and surrounding cliffs… there is a staircase down to your own private beach. It is a small rocky beach, and it is all yours, sometimes you can see boats, cruise ships, or lobster hunters out in the distance but no one comes ashore. Just a short drive from the Sea Dog are many local hotspots such as Playa Grande (the most stunning beach!,) a great tiki pizza place (2 for 1 on Wednesdays,) La Hotel Catalina (has a divine restaurant,) Manny's (excellent bar and restaurant) and Lagoon Gri Gri (where you can take a boat ride through caves to a local beach.) At the Sea Dog there is a grill and a full kitchen, so you can also choose to eat every meal at home if you are not in the mood to explore or spend more money. The Sea Dog is a beautiful and affordable paradise in a gorgeous location, perfect for families or a zen getaway."Guest: RebLLArt Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 19, 2015View listing
"I was there recently for a dear friend's birthday. I'm a relatively sophisticated traveler, but this experience was truly exceptional! The estate is luxurious , the views are idyllic and the level of attention from Gabriel, Melvin, Art and Manager Peggy made me feel like royalty. The meals were outstanding (one of the few vacations where I've lost weight). There is as much or as little activity as you desire. The locale is quite scenic--one long photo op. Just glorious."Guest: SP Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 6, 2015View listing
"We had a great stay at Cabot Tiki last July! It was just what we need to unwind and unplug (although the house is fully wifi operational). I visited with my husband, our two boys and a great friend. The house is beautiful! The design is understated yet everything is first class. There is someone at the house night and day so you always feel really safe. Dominga, the chef, served up the most delicious meals using local ingredients. We enjoyed typical Dominican meals including fish, plantains, rice and beans as well as favorites of the kids - tacos and guacamole. Mildred, the house keeper, provided lots of laundry and cleaning back up for my boys who played baseball with a local team every day. With all the day to day covered my husband and I could really relax. We absolutely loved our vacation. We look forward to coming back to Cabrera and Cabot Tiki soon! Thank you for taking such great care of us!"Guest: Anne C. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: September 22, 2015View listing

Millionaires Club III is a 5 reel (progressive), 20-payline, Cryptologic Video Slot. It comes with a wildSymbol, scatter symbol, multiplier and has a maximum jackpot win of Jackpot.
Millionaires Club III is the third installment of a series of slots which give gamblers the possibility of becoming a millionaire. It features a 5 reel format with 20 paylines containing all new symbols and features. The wild symbol makes a return whilst the bonus round has been overhauled with an entirely new game.
The designers have really upped their game with this latest addition. The graphics finally match the prestigious title with the background and buttons receiving ornate diamond decoration. We also like the royal blue colour scheme and the updated logo which is surrounded by flashing diamonds.
The symbols contained in the reels have also been given a major upgrade. They include cognac glasses, mansions, jewelry, peacocks, pearls, exotic cars, yachts, concert tickets, money clips and swimming pools. Each offers in depth animation when a winning combination is formed, for example the mansion symbol zooms in to give a closer look at the lavish pad enjoyed by millionaires.
Bets have changed slightly from the second slot in the series. Coin values still range from 0.01 to $20 (30 options between) but the number of lines has been increased from 9 to 20. This has increased the betting range and it know starts at 0.01 to $400. Although this hans't increased the progressive jackpot it does mean larger prizes on coin payouts if you are willing to place higher bets.
The mansion icon plays as a wild card and scatter symbol. It can replace all other symbols except the bonus scatter. Five symbols also pays the top coin payout (besides the progressive) of 4,000 coins.
Three or more bonus symbols starts the bonus round. You are presented with 100 precious gems and you are asked to select from them. Some contain instant wins, other multipliers, jackpot symbols or the dreaded strike token.
The main gem game is ended when three jackpot icons or three strike tokens are found. You are then returned to the reels with your prize money, this is a major improvement from Millionaires Club II where you could lose your bonus winnings.
During the main bonus round if you discover three wheel 'jackpot' icons you are given the chance to play for the jackpot. Like the other millionaires slots this is a wheel of fortune style game. Landing on a prize ends the round whilst landing on an arrow progresses you to the inner circles. The third circle gives you the chance to spin for the jackpot, it's a long shot but offers huge excitement all the same.
If this is the last Millionaires slot from Cryptologic they certainly have gone out on a high note. It offers fantastic gameplay, interesting features and of course a huge progressive jackpot.
Wow, what a progressive jackpot! Cryptologic is generous with this one!
Wow, the millionaires club series stretches to three games! I really had no idea. THe previous game was a winner (sure you can find that if you try!) so I had big hopes for this one! Once again there is a monster progressive jackpot, and thankfully again the base paytable has not sufferd too badly in order to spare enough RTP for this. Gotta wonder how they do it considering many other producers fail at this part so badly!
I enjoy playing this game, I never tire of it, I like the bonus round and seeing if you can get on the the next round, I have been fairly lucky on it, and I do like to take a chance here if I have the money in my account for higher betting. I hit it before with a higher bet and had a good time, I prefer Millionaire 3 over Millionaire 2, this one is better in my opinion.
I played this slot many times when first started on slots and missed the JP by a pixel lol. Wins are quite low in base game but it is a JP game after all so fair enough. Would prefer this to other versions and is still impressive even though it has been around a long time

Healthy Pets
Topic Overview
When you spend time around an animal-whether it's a pet, a farm animal, or a wild animal-there's a chance you can pick up an infection.
An infection you get from an animal is called a zoonosis (say "zoh-uh-NOH-sus"). Some infections can seem mild, but others can be quite serious. So it's a good idea to learn about your risks and how to protect yourself and other people. People who are most in need of protection are children under age 5, pregnant women, and people with weak immune systems.

Healthy Pets Holiday Gift Guide
It's holiday time, and if you're a pet owner, you probably want to get something special for your furry friend. With gifts ranging from coats to CDs to special beds, there is no shortage of options to make your pet happy. But how do you know what type of gifts are beneficial to your pet's health? WebMD's pet experts, Katherine Snyder, DVM, ACVIM and Mark Stickney, DVM, will help you decide by giving you insight into what pets really need to keep them healthy and happy. Then we'll list a few products...
Read the Healthy Pets Holiday Gift Guide article > >
Washing your hands well may be all you need to do to prevent infection from some animals. But with others, you need to do more than simple hand washing.
How can animals make you sick?
You can get a zoonosis from a mammal, a reptile, an amphibian, or a bird. It could be a pet, an animal at a farm or a petting zoo, or a wild animal that passes infection on to you.
It's not just touching an animal that can expose you to bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. You can get infected when you:
- Touch something that an animal has touched, such as bedding, a kennel, a stall, or your own clothing.
- Touch feces or urine from an animal.
- Are licked, scratched, or bitten by an animal.
- Breath in dust that carries disease from an animal, as in a barnyard or a mouse nest.
- Handle animal meat. Kitchen and food prep areas can be contaminated by raw meat, such as chicken, beef, or game.
- Drink water from canals, creeks, or lakes. They might be contaminated with animal waste.
- Eat food from infected animals, such as raw milk, cheese, or meat, or eat produce grown in contaminated water.
Before you travel, learn about common animal-borne infection risks where you're going. Then learn how to protect yourself from them.
How can you prevent infections from animals?
Keep your pet healthy
- Keep up with your pet's vaccinations.
- De-worm pets, especially puppies and kittens. They're a common source of worms. Talk to your veterinarian about what to use and how often.
- House train or litter box train your pet. Clean up pet waste often.
- Control and remove fleas and ticks. They can carry disease.
- Visit your vet when your pet is ill or is acting differently than usual.

Oh contrair mon amie
We always contacted 35mm film on 4x5 sheets and then cut the film out to the original size and then put the interneg into the 35mm neg holder for magnification.
This is the preferred method.
My suggestion was not to enlarge to 4x5 but rather do a contact interneg . This will indeed give the OP better results .

this morning I was delighted to join the Big Hearted Business morning tea in St Kilda.
I joined with a room full of creatives to listen to what Clare Bowditch shared, and oh my, is she an inspiration. her warmth and composure and confidence just radiates - it was like sitting in front of the sun with cup of tea for an hour.
we heard her take on making creativity work, and on overcoming the obstacles we have, that, it seems are usually in our own head.
she guided us on a little journey, inviting us to reflect on our life in 5 years, what it would look like. I'm sure there were plenty in the room who'd gone along with clear plans on what they hoped to achieve, but for me that invitation to look to my future brought a welcome epiphany.
and with that, a commitment to express myself more here, and track my journey.
so I came home and spent the afternoon sewing, naturally.

As we left the church, and walked a short distance to the north, we passed the Anne Frank museum, but the waiting line looked to be a block long! So we decided to return later when the crowds of tourists would hopefully begin to dwindle (which turned out to be wishful thinking; see below).
As we crossed the Prinsengracht canal, and entered ...
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
... none of us had ever seen before. It was definitely an interesting experience. We went to bed early after dinner at a place called The Bulldog.
The next morning we woke up early (again) for our flight back to Rome. When we got to Rome we had to take a train to Rome Termini (which is a main station) and then finally a train to Firenze. We were so happy with our spring break, but also EXTREMELY happy to be back in Florence.

Special to Page 2
They call the Super Bowl America's unofficial national holiday. But after four days of Catamounts and double overtimes, of 12 seeds and Patriot Leaguers, The Cooler is at the point of believing the first four days of the NCAA basketball tournament are our real national holiday. The first four days of March Madness have achieved a Christmas-level vibe.
All of Thursday and the first half of Friday were the calm before the Catamount's storm.
At Christmas, we have carols. In March, we have the CBS theme music.At Christmas, we have Santa Claus. In March, we have Verne Lundquist. At Christmas, we have the Three Wise Men. In March, we have Greg, Clark and Seth. At Christmas, we have villains like Scrooge and the Grinch. In March, we have Robert Montgomery Knight. Sudden thought: Was the Grinch also sponsored by O'Reilly's Auto Parts? The other, and sadder, fact is that we have postpartum blues when Christmas is over. After the final buzzer in the Duke-Mississippi State game on Sunday evening, which closed out the first four days of action, I felt the same way I do every year at Christmas, around 2 p.m. The presents are opened, the buzz has worn off and you realize you have to wait 365 long days to do it again at which point, you will be a year closer to the grave. Here is where the Tournament trumps all: We get to do it again this coming Thursday through Sunday. It won't be exactly the same, of course, because the sheer volume isn't the same. The frantic pace of those first four days the consistent parade of other-game scores, the folding and unfolding of your Xeroxed, beer-stained bracket can never be replicated once the field has been cut by 75 percent. Mind you, it will still be great stuff. But those four holy days in March that we just experienced that West Virginia-Wake Forest game, that Texas Tech-Gonzaga game, that Vermont-Syracuse game are gone now, and a certain melancholy sets in. This sensation could lead to a meditative essay on the nature of anticipation, and its resultant sadness. But if I wrote that, you all would just accuse me of bumming out because my very public Final Four picks happen to include two teams Georgia Tech and Syracuse that are busy cleaning out their sock drawers right now. Besides, it's on to the Weekend List of Five! 1. Spring Hath Sprung, And With It, Heartburn
Made my 11th Dream Trip to Scottsdale, Ariz. over the weekend with the usual assortment of clowns and deadbeats I like to call my closest friends in the world. The trip is so old, its moniker Dream Trip has nearly lost its relevance. It was rooted in the Olympic basketball team of '92, the original Dream Team. We quickly applied the adjective to our first bachelor pad in San Francisco ergo, Dream Pad and to our sojourn to Arizona in the fall of '93. That original journey is now known as "D.T. I" Its alternate working title: "When Waistlines Were Thinner, And Obligations Fewer." Seems to me, back in the D.T. I days, there wasn't as much clamoring for antacids in the morning. In your mid-20s, morning calls for a breakfast beer. In your late 30s, morning calls for acid reflux medicine, part of the Three Horsemen of the Morning Apocalypse: Mylanta, Aquafina and Advil.

Structuring an event ontology for disease outbreak detection

This paper describes the design of an event ontology being developed for application in the machine understanding of infectious disease-related events reported in natural language text. This event ontology is designed to support timely detection of disease outbreaks and rapid judgment of their alerting status by 1) bridging a gap between layman's language used in disease outbreak reports and public health experts' deep knowledge, and 2) making multi-lingual information available.
Construction and content
This event ontology integrates a model of experts' knowledge for disease surveillance, and at the same time sets of linguistic expressions which denote disease-related events, and formal definitions of events. In this ontology, rather general event classes, which are suitable for application to language-oriented tasks such as recognition of event expressions, are placed on the upper-level, and more specific events of the experts' interest are in the lower level. Each class is related to other classes which represent participants of events, and linked with multi-lingual synonym sets and axioms.
We consider that the design of the event ontology and the methodology introduced in this paper are applicable to other domains which require integration of natural language information and machine support for experts to assess them. The first version of the ontology, with about 40 concepts, will be available in March 2008.
