One of the most serious challenges to new entrepreneurs in the innovation process is capital-or the lack thereof. Venture capitalists typically make investments in small, young companies that may not have access to public or credit-oriented institutional funding. Venture capital investments can be long term and high risk, and may include hands-on involvement by the venture capitalist in the firm. Venture capital thus can aid the growth of promising small companies and facilitate the introduction of new products and technologies, and is an important source of funds used in the formation and expansion of small high-tech companies. This section examines venture capital disbursements by stage of financing and by technology area in the United States and Europe.
The pool of capital managed by venture capital firms grew dramatically during the 1980s as venture capital emerged as a truly important source of financing for small innovative firms. (See figure 6-23 and appendix table 6-19.) By 1989, the capital managed by venture capital firms totaled $23.2 billion, up from an estimated $3.0 billion in 1980. The number of venture capital firms also grew during the 1980s-from around 448 in 1983 to 670 in 1989.
In the early 1990s, the venture capital industry experienced a recession of sorts, as investor interest waned and the amount of venture capital disbursed to companies declined-especially compared to the extensive venture capital activity of the late 1980s. The number of firms managing venture capital also declined during the 1990s. But the slowdown was short-lived; investor interest picked up during 1992, and disbursements began to rise again. Both investor interest and venture capital disbursements have continued to grow through 1995. The latest data show total venture capital under management rising to $37.2 billion in 1995, up from $32.7 billion in 1994 and $28.9 billion in 1993.
The number of venture capital firms in the United States did not rebound to the peak of 1989 (670), but after several years of firm rationalization, the number rose to 610 venture capital firms in 1995 from the 591 operating in 1994. California, Massachusetts, and New York together account for nearly 65 percent of venture capital resources. The top 10 states account for over 95 percent. It appears that venture capital firms tend to cluster around locales considered to be "hotbeds" of technological activity, as well as in states where large amounts of R&D are performed.
Several years of high returns on venture capital investments have stimulated increased investor interest. This interest soared from 1993 to 1995, with new commitments reaching $4.2 billion in 1995, the largest one-year increase in venture capital funds. Pension funds remain the single largest source for new funds, supplying nearly 40 percent of committed capital. Endowments/foundations are the next largest source, supplying 23 percent of committed capital in 1995. (See appendix table 6-20.)
Starting in 1994, new capital raised exceeded capital disbursed by the venture capital industry, thereby creating surplus funds available for investments in new or expanding innovative firms. Thus far in the 1990s, firms producing computer software or providing computer-related services received the largest share of new disbursements. (See figure 6-24 and appendix table 6-21.) In 1991, software companies received 25 percent of all new venture capital disbursements, twice the share going to computer hardware companies and three times the share going to biotechnology companies. In 1995, software companies continued to attract the largest share of venture capital. Medical/health-care-related companies have also attracted large amounts of venture capital during the 1990s, and edged out software companies for the lead in 1994. Other industries that received substantial amounts of venture capital in 1995 were telecommunications companies and consumer-related companies (e.g., leisure products, retailing, etc.).
The investments made by venture capital firms may be categorized by the stage at which the financing is provided: [32]
The first three may be referred to as early stage financing and the remaining three as later stage financing.
An examination of U.S. venture capital disbursements to companies since 1986 clearly shows that most of the funds are directed to later stage investments. Over the past 10 years, later stage investments captured between 62 and 76 percent of venture capital disbursements, with the high and low points both reached in the 1990s. (See figure 6-25 and appendix table 6-22.) Capital for company expansions attracted by far the most investor interest.
According to these data, very little venture capital goes to the struggling inventor or entrepreneur trying to prove a concept or to product development. Over the past 10 years, such seed money never accounted for more than 7 percent of all venture capital disbursements, and most often represented between 3 and 4 percent of the annual totals.[33]
As in the United States, venture capitalists in Europe are attracted to young, small (under 500 employees), fast-growing companies in need of capital and management expertise. Europe now has venture-capital-backed investments all across the continent, including investments in many of the transitioning countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Data compiled by the European Venture Capital Association tracking venture capital activity in 17 countries record over 5,000 separate investments in 1996, with total disbursements exceeding $8.5 billion-an 18 percent increase over 1995.[34] (See text table 6-14.) The United Kingdom leads Europe in both the number of venture-backed investments made and the amount invested in British companies during 1996 (33 percent and 44 percent, respectively). France, Germany, and the Netherlands follow, in that order. Together with the United Kingdom, they accounted for three-fourths of all European venture capital disbursed in 1996.
While computer-related and biotechnology companies in the United States garner the lion's share of U.S. venture capital, the types of firms attracting venture capital in Europe are less technology intensive. Europe has long held a reputation for excellence in industrial machinery and equipment, fashion, and leisure products (e.g., sporting goods).These same industries are among the top recipients of European venture capital. More than 30 percent of venture capital investments (both in number and as a percentage of the total capital distributed in 1995 and 1996) were made in companies providing industrial products such as machine tools, pollution and recycling equipment, and high-fashion clothing and other consumer products. By comparison, European computer-related companies received 7 percent of the venture capital distributed in 1995 and 5 percent in 1996. European biotech companies received even less attention, although both the number and size of the investments in this industry increased in 1996 over the previous year.
European venture capitalists, like their American counterparts, direct only a small portion of capital disbursements as seed money or startup capital. Investments for expanding an existing company's productive capacity, helping a company add a new product line, or enabling a company to acquire an existing business-later stage investments-account for about 85 percent of European venture capital disbursements. For the past five years (1992 to 1996), early stage investments (as seed or startup capital) stayed below 7 percent. In fact, seed money, often used to finance research or concept development, averaged less than 1 percent from 1992 to 1995; in 1996, startup capital for product development and initial marketing reached its highest point in five years, when it represented about 6 percent of venture capital disbursements. (See figure 6-26.)

We've all seen some pretty sleazy commercials before, but this one takes the cake. It was produced by Yates Walker who was, until recently, the spokesman for the campaign of Tea Party Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, who is challenging Rep.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rsimmons Awesome!! We have many pets, so we have pet accidents, vomit, fecal, urine. I have used pet odor eleminators and rented rug doctors even had professionals clean the carpets. This machine picked up much more than I thought was in the carpets. We vacummed before and the amount of hair this machine picked up was both amazing and disgusting. Worked great on our area rug also. We did have to stop multiple times to clean out the pet hair because it stopped suctioning, but with the amount of hair it couldn't suction. We just used the sample shampoo that came with it, the professional deep clean, the carpets are cleaner, brighter and softer then ever before. It has a very nice scent to it. I read the other reviews about it leaving carpets wet, not ours. Other reviews said it stopped suctioning, yes it did but as I said the amount of hair it picked up clogged everything. The machine is huge but very easy to manuever. I am very pleased and impressed with it. I just ordered more shampoos to try. January 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bobcat Best ever Best cleaner we have ever used.makes carpet look like new. August 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mrs. Clean satisfied! This machine was a gift from my in-laws back in april 2012 so I've had it for over a year.,. I use it quite often because my whole house is carpet and i own three dogs. This machine is pretty awesome to clean carpets the heater is not that hot... my tap water is hotter than the heater. It is a hassle to clean the machine it self you have to pretty much take it apart to get it clean nicely. I hate that the solution for this machine is pricey... well a bit much to spend at once, but if you divide it by the amount of time you deep clean the carpet it really comes out really cheap. Overall I am extremely happy with this machine the only thing is that recently i went to use the lift off part of the machine and noticed it was torn... I don't use that part that often so that's how I know it was not by misuse, I don't know if that was only my machine or if it happens often. It cleans my carpets beautifully and they end up very soft... oh and the cord is long. July 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hammer Cleans well, but could use some improvements I had a 15 year old Bissell Pro Heat Plus that still works fine and I gave it to my brother when I purchased this Lift Off Deluxe. The new Lift Off cleans great but it could use some improvements. There is no indication of when the water/cleaning solution is out. It's a little hard to see when it's that low while it's in use so an indication would be nice. My old one had an indicator. Also, I cannot see the water being suckud up when in upright mode. You cannot see the front of the machine while you are using it. That is a disign issue with the Lift Off because it's really two different units. But it would just be nice if you could see that. This last item is more of a suggestion than a complaint. I would rather see you sell this with the turbo brush instead of the pet stain eraser. The turbo brush works much better. I kept this tool from my last machine and noticed that you can still purchase it seperatly. Other than those issues it cleans great. February 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by shoppinmamag Love my carpet cleaner! I have had this cleaner for about a month now and I have used it multiple times. We are in the puppy potty training period and there are times little Baxter leaves me a little puddle, I grab the cleaner and spot and smell is removed. I can't really say how durable it will be as I have only had it 1 month but, so far, so good! April 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MAB OMG - What a GREAT product! Everyone should have one. I thought my house was clean until I bought the Lift-Off Deluxe Pet Deep Cleaner. I have tile everywhere except the bedrooms. I can not believe the difference in my bedroom carpet. I had other carpet cleaners in the past, but this one far outweighs the others hands down. The power brushes pull and lift the stains away, like magic. The weight of the machine is perfect. One word - AWESOME. From box to use took only minutes, then I was off and running. Once I figured out where to put the screws for the handle (at my age I don't read directions well and obviously I can't even follow simple pictures-and that was with glasses. It's got to be my age!) Dont get me wrong, the directions were extremely simple and I was trying to make it more complicated. This was my last try in finding a carpet cleaner that worked before renting a commercial unit. I am now a Bissell fan. Now I am prepared all the time, so I dare those dogs..... October 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shoppingirl1 My carpets looked like new My carpets looked like new with little effort. I especially like the lift off feature, it makes it so easy to do the stairs. It is also great for those unexpected clean ups. I had a Christmas Eve party and someone must have dropped there plate of lasagna in a corner and never said anything, It wasn't until three days later when we were moving the chairs back when I found it and the Bissell got the stain right out. January 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anna J. Amazing Machine! Worth every penny! I got an amazing amount of use out of my previous Bissell Cleaning machine and so when it was time to get a new one, there was no question that I would get another Bissell and I was not disappointed. I have 4 boys, a husband that forgets to take off his shoes alot and 2 dogs... my carpets get dirty. A lot. This new Bissell is amazing. Not only does it do a fantastic job on dirt and every day grime build up, we got a new puppy a couple weeks after getting the machine and 'accident' cleanups were a snap with being able to detach the unit and use it as a 'hand held' unit. I love that that cleaning solution/water is separate than the dirty water and both containers are so easy to clean. So much better than the internal bladder system on the previous version. I would recommend this unit to anyone that wants a good quality product. In fact, I have recommend it to many people already. February 26, 2013

|For the 2008 iGEM competition, the Imperial College team is working on the foundations for a bioprinter. We are using the Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis bacterium as our chassis (for a variety of reasons) and hope to exert fine control over its movement via a recently-discovered clutch mechanism [1]. Using light as a stimulus to localise the bacteria, we then intend to trigger production and secretion of a self-assembling bio-scaffold material in a set pattern. The project was inspired by 3D printers used in fabrication of prototypes for manufacturing, and our "blue-sky" aim is to design a 3D bioprinter!

Local couple to get Big Apple wedding
Published: Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 2:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 10:48 p.m.
It has been an interesting time for Frances Healy and Jared Kilkenny, who first met in the hallways of Dunnellon High School but waited several years to date.
Let's hear it for New York
Dunnellon High School graduates Frances Healy and Jared Kilkenny, whose relationship grew strong while they lived in New York City, will be getting married on Monday — Valentine's Day — at the Empire State Building. They and 13 other couples won a contest sponsored by "The Knot." See their page entry page on "theknot.com" at http://bit.ly/f9xmgz.
Healy and Kilkenny are now 22 and students at the College of Central Florida. Kilkenny hopes to become a journalist; Healy wants to be a psychologist.
On Valentine's Day, they will join 13 other couples getting married at the Empire State Building in New York City.
They were chosen from hundreds of couples as part of a wedding contest sponsored by the website "the knot."
On Wednesday, just hours before their flight to New York, the happy couple posed for photos inside the CF marketing department and talked about their courtship.
Kilkenny wrote on "the knot" website that their relationship was sputtering back in 2008. He was unsure of their future when Healy made a surprise announcement.
At breakfast one morning at Wolfy's, Healy asked him to marry her.
"I said: 'Let's run off to New York,' " she recalled.
And they did go to the Big Apple, but didn't get married. They returned to Marion County in spring 2010 after their baby son, Ari, was born.
They came back home to be with family. They wanted to finish school and family could help with their son, now about 11 months old, while they accomplished their goals.
Kilkenny's letter to the website states that he had always liked Healy, but society's view of mixed relationships kept him from pursuing her.
See, he's from Guyana, moved to New York as a child and then to the Dunnellon area at age 7. She is white.
"When Frances and I first met in high school, we did not fall madly in love at first sight," he wrote in his submission letter to the website. "I was always so intrigued by her, but Southern society prevented us from ever having a chance."
But once they were on the CF campus together, their relationship began to grow.
"Once we began college and escaped some of our restrictions, I took the opportunity to finally meet the girl who would go on to steal my heart," he wrote. "After inspiring the most nervous guy in the world to get on stage and sing karaoke for her birthday, I knew I was in love."
When she proposed, he knew only time would tell what would happen next. And as it turns out, their time in New York cemented their relationship.
"Life in New York made Frances and I stronger than ever," he wrote. "We fell deeper in love each day as we overcame obstacles together, built a beautiful life, and became true New Yorkers.
"Frances is the reason my heart beats," he wrote. "Therefore, NYC did more than save my relationship, it saved my life."
Healy's father, John, will walk her down the aisle. And by their side will be Kilkenny's mother and stepfather, Barbara and Gladstone Sinckler. And of course, Ari.
The bad news: They have to be back in class Wednesday morning. But what better place to start their new life together than the city where they truly fell in love?

We Worry about Feeding the Pets; Just about Getting by on a Part-Time Salary, the Delaney Family Have Said They Will Refuse to Pay a [Euro]100 Household Charge They Simply Can't Afford
MARY Delaney, 45, has worked as a nurse for 20 years at St Luke's Hospital in Kilkenny, where she and her family live. She is currently job-sharing while studying part-time for a law degree at Carlow IT. She is married to Jim, also 45, who was made redundant two months ago from his job as a school chef, where he worked for 27 years. They have one son, DJ, who is nine years old.
Mrs Delaney says: 'I'm disgusted that the Government didn't take this opportunity to tackle any of the big developers whose properties are under the control of Nama.
'Some of those developers are still earning six figures a year. AIB workers didn't get a pay cut, either, even though they are effectively public servants, while a host of State consultants continue to earn hugely inflated salaries.
'All this is going on and yet those with disabilities aged over 18 - the most vulnerable - have had their allowances cut in half.
'As a nurse, my basic salary is just [euro]20,000 as I job share. That income has remained the same, though I've had 10 per cent trimmed off my unsocial hours rate - a cut that reduces my take-home pay by some [euro]50 a month.
'Twice a week, I make the 85km round-trip to Carlow for college, so the carbon tax on petrol will hit me hard. I'll have to take the increase in motor tax on top of that. That's going to hurt.

Courthouse is crown jewel of city's urban renewal project
Published: Monday, July 4, 2011 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 1, 2011 at 4:26 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The beautification of downtown Tuscaloosa continues with the aid of about $7 million in federal money.
Design work has begun on Phase II of the Downtown Urban Renewal Project, which is an enhancement of a two-block area bordered by Seventh and Eighth streets and 21st and 23rd avenues.
This will include decorative lighting, relocated utility lines and improved sidewalks that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
It is funded by two separate grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and construction on these new renovations could begin by late September, city officials said.
This new project goes along with Phase I of the Downtown Urban Renewal Project, which saw about $40 million in federal grants through HUD and the Federal Highway Administration spent on streetscapes and the creation of the Government Plaza, the 1.5-block park adjacent to City Hall.
Of this, the city of Tuscaloosa invested about $900,000, according the latest project construction tabulation that the City Council signed off on earlier this year.
Part of Phase I's high costs came from property acquisition and relocation of tenants within the initial four-block renewal area. These led to the construction of the $12.5 million intermodal facility and 400-space parking deck, 80 percent of which was funded with federal dollars, and the Federal Courthouse building that is under construction near Seventh Street and University Boulevard and 20th and 21st avenues. So far, $47 million has been awarded for the courthouse's construction, but the final cost of the 127,376 square-foot building won't be known until it's completed, officials said.
The massive Greek-style building is lined with six columns and sits in the middle of a nearly 5-acre site with a sprawling lawn fronting University Boulevard. Workers are busy with finishing touches of the interior, exterior and grounds of the structure, which is expected to open in late October.
One half of 1 percent of construction costs of federal buildings must be spent on public art, and the final of 16 murals, each measuring 14 feet by 9 feet and depicting the history of the area, was still under way last month. The last painting will portray the city after the April 27 tornado, and show residents rising from the destruction to help others.
The Downtown Urban Renewal Project is more than these streets and buildings. The grand scheme contain seven phases and, if completed, will enhance almost all of the city's downtown area.

I am looking for a (pink) homemade healthier alternative to the jarred icing for a little one's birthday cake. The closer I got was this ... Still not the best.
I wonder if you have any suggestions.
Thank you :)
I like to use
1 stick butter
1/2 stick cream cheese
1/2 cup strawberry jam
powdered sugar till you get the right consistency, but I don't like it to taste super sweet.
maybe not healthy, but it's pink and wonderful.
Audrey & Arianna's Mommy
I was actually wondering if strawberry jam can be used for coloring cream cheese icing ;)
Thank you, 'Abnacy'!!
I've always colored icing with food coloring. Never thought about using a jam! Color and flavor!
Happily Married 11/26/99.
Mom to Kristin 9/2/03 & Logan 12/27/08.
I do my best spell checking after I hit send.
I'd use seed free jelly vs jam with seeds and chunks.
I think icing gets to be unhealthy - most of it ends up on the toddler not in the toddler.
�Momma to my 2 little bunnies Peter [4.5] & Cottontail [21m]
Do you have a child with SPD ?
Maple syrup running through your veins? Join Us!
what about cool whip mixed with the jam? healthier?

Ooh that sounds great!! I don't care if my icing is healthy but cream cheese/strawberry sounds fantastic!

The divas of Indian cinema are works of art immortalised down the ages on screen and in the media. Women in Indian cinema have portrayed all facets of change which women in general have experienced in real life in the country, says art connoisseur Neville Tuli, the founder and chairman of Mumbai-based arts and popular culture platform Osian's.
"The character of the woman on the Indian screen ranges from the Mother Goddess to the devoted mother and wife to the righteous woman who surrenders her role as mother and wife to something beyond," Tuli told IANS in an interview.
Tuli, who has one of the largest archives of cinema-related popular art in the country, will inaugurate the annual Osian-Cinefan film festival July 27-Aug 5 in the national capital with a tribute: "The Divas of Indian Cinema - 100 Years of Beauty and Grace".
The showcase will mark the beginning of a new initiative - The Osianama Art & Film Museum - later in the year. The archive will mount travelling exhibitions on cinema art across the world.
Tuli said the July showcase will bring to the national capital a chronological sequence of the country's leading screen ladies with pioneers like Sulochana, Zubeida, Gohar, Devika Rani, Fearless Nadia, Suraiya, Kamini Kaushal, Meena Kumari, Geeta Bali, Nargis, Madhubala, Nutan, Waheeda Rehman, Saira Banu, Vyjayanthimala, Asha Parekh, Hema Malini, Mumtaz, Sharmila Tagore, Helen, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Zeenat Aman, Dimple Kapadia, Rekha, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Kareena Kapoor and many more.
The exhibition will use every genre of cinema art like rare posters, show-cards, stills, song-synopsis booklets and published souvenirs to recreate the history of Indian women on screen.
"Cinema has essayed every role that women have played in reality - their dances, hairstyles, attitudes to adultery, emancipation, make-up, driving sports cars, stealing, terrorising, killing, gender empowerment and the like in the last 100 years," Tuli said.
The art connoisseur, who has been archiving cinema for nearly two decades, said Indian movies have focussed on powerful women-driven roles throughout history.
"Whenever the male superstar-dominated mainstream cinema felt dominated either by the romantic hero or the angry young man, there was Nargis' 'Anhonee' for every 'Shri 420'. For every 'Anand', there was Waheeda Rehman's 'Khamoshi' and for every 'Darr', there was Dimple Kapadia's 'Rudaali'.
"Each of these movies may have achieved different box office success, but that should not distract from the fact that directors and producers are creating women-centric movies all the time," Tuli said.
He said the exhibition "has been planned as a major travelling show with an ensuing publication".
Commenting on the trends in Indian cinema, Tuli said: "Our heroes (even ladies) do not grow up because the filmmakers assume that the audience has not grown up."
"Talent is not supported on the scale India demands and hence our cinematic culture remains weak. Loving cinema is the only way a spectator participates with the world of filmmaking."There must be a hundred ways to participate in filmmaking when a true cinematic culture exists," Tuli said. That culture places the pressure to create with vision and boldness; to experiment and play; and to dare and break mindsets, he added.
According to Tuli, Indian cinema's publicity material "might lack western sophistication, but mostly there's a lack of respect for our history and lack of vision".
"The transformation of unique art works which emerge from the publicity material of Indian cinema will become global collectibles only when our people recognise and respect history. And like modern and contemporary art, take pride in preserving and collecting, along with understanding their scarcity," Tuli said.
The cinema and art archivist added: "Hollywood memorabilia succeeds because of the participation from their fraternity".
"They respect their work and the work of others and they worship and privilege the history which has gone before them. Here we still treat it as 'raddi' or kitsch. It will change radically in the future," he said. Business-wise, cinema art can best be viewed as "where the Indian modern and contemporary art market was poised 10 years ago".
"It is at ground zero - basic the infancy of a market. The boom is to begin through the work one has initiated over the last decade," Tuli said.

"Lowest Point in Africa which is Lake Assal" Top 5 Page for this destination Djibouti Things to Do Tip by Ekahau
Djibouti Things to Do: 54 reviews and 151 photos
The VTer can visit the Lowest and hottest Point in Africa which is Lake Assal, Djibouti: 512 feet / 156 meters below sea level. Lake Assal is also the saltiest body of water in the world -- yes more than the dead sea. The other cool thing for a VT geek like me is that it is where the Great Rift Valley flows on its way to the Red sea. The rift valley is what makes up the great lakes in Africa, what the Victory falls flow over and than leads into the Red sea across to Asia and ends at the Dead sea. The former lake floor is a huge salt flat that is great to Wind sail on. When salt trading was king this was the place.
You can see the salt Beds in photo four below

With the fall semester in full swing, most college kids are already up to their ears in lectures about economics and English. But how about taking a class on becoming a music mogul with De La Soul and Russell Simmons as your professors?
That's the concept behind "Conversations with Today's Hitmakers" lecture series. Held at New York University's Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music, the year-old weekly seminar enlists artists and music executives to give students practical advice on making it in the music industry. Last year's series included Simmons, Grammy-winning producer Phil Ramone, dance-music icon "Little" Louie Vega and veteran music impresario Clive Davis, who founded the department last year.
"This is an important part of the curriculum because it allows students to meet face to face in an intimate setting with some of the leading executives, producers and performers in the music industry," said assistant professor Jason King, who moderates the seminar. "There's no better way to learn about how the industry works than from the people who run it."
De La Soul recently took center stage to speak the class about their experiences in the industry. When asked for advice, the group's Maseo said, "The industry is always going to exist as what it is: the music business. You have to protect yourself and do your best to know your business. When it comes to down to the music, it's about staying true to the art form. Whether you sell one or a million records, [the music] should matter. You should do it from your heart."
The group's David "Trugoy" Jolicoeur even revealed one of the secrets to his success. "Trugoy is 'yogurt' spelled backwards," he said with a laugh. "I'm a big yogurt fan — fruit on the bottom, strawberry."
The series will also host a hip-hop journalism panel and a special lecture celebrating the 10th anniversary of Roc-A-Fella Records with Damon Dash, Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek. In addition to De La Soul, this semester's seminar will feature appearances from music executive Andre Harrell and Virgin Records director of marketing Leota Blacknor, among others. The classes are reserved for NYU students.

Read my post, I made no comments of any such sort at any time.. I stated repeatedly there are no criteria for who gets a ring. Pointed out to Dave that him blasting YOU actually, for being ill informed doesnt reflect well if he intern post erronious facts.
Tallon absolutly deserves a ring, and should be on the cup, and should still be the GM of that team, an error cost him to over pay a few players is a small when you consider what he had done for that franchise. Bowman was able to get the team back to being cap compliant I would argue tallon could have made some simliar moves..

In the circles I run in, there's been a buzz about an announcement first made last December about a "partnership" between the FDA and WebMD. Yesterday the two entities announced an expansion of that partnership "to provide increased access to FDA's consumer health information."
I can appreciate the FDA's interest in reaching the public more directly with its messages.
But WebMD has turned over its "channel" – some of it marked "news" – to a government agency. Should journalists "partner" with a government agency for news and information?
And they boast that "Since the launch, over 150,000 consumers have accessed the FDA destination on WebMD … The FDA's consumer information is also available through WebMD the Magazine, distributed ten times a year and reaching an additional 11 million consumers with each issue."
And I would remind the FDA that, while there may not be any ads on the FDA pages of the WebMD site, users are just a link away from ads on WebMD material. I just visited and quickly found myself viewing ads for drugs for fibromyalgia, depression, coronary artery disease and others. Is that appropriate for the FDA?
Something doesn't feel right about this – for either party – or for the public.
Sandy Szwarc of the Junkfood Science blog looked at this in greater detail when the partnership was first announced in December.

If Facebook can't get an IPO right, what hope is there for everyone else?
It seems plenty of up-and-coming companies feel that way: The analysts at Renaissance Capital note that after the second-busiest April in a decade for pricings, the market for initial public offerings effectively "shut down" after Facebook's "mismanaged" deal. Heightened market volatility also played a key role.
Here are the numbers: Global IPO proceeds of $36.5-billion (U.S.) in the second quarter were 37 per cent below 2011's second quarter haul. The number of deals dropped by more than half, from 126 to 58.
The global IPO market is at its lowest year-to-date level of IPOs since 2009, Renaissance Capital says.
In the U.S. alone, IPO proceeds nearly doubled year-over-year, to $22.1-billion, thanks almost entirely to the $16-billion Facebook deal. Strip that out, and proceeds fell by more than half, from $12.3-billion in 2011's second quarter just over $6-billion in 2012. The number of deals fell from 46 to 27.
Facebook, need you be reminded, ratcheted up its price and the number of shares offered in the days leading up to its IPO. Then, after a brief blip up, shares closed the first day right around its offering price of $38. In the days that followed, it slid by a third, trading as low as $25.52. It closed Wednesday at $32.23.
Kayak Software Corp., the online airfare-comparison site, was one of a number of companies said to have watched the Facebook fiasco and punted their offering. Bloomberg News reported May 30 that the company's late-May roadshow was postponed. Kayak planned to use Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter for Facebook's offering, for its deal.
Some of the top U.S. performers in the quarter, Renaissance Capital says, were small-cap technology growth stories like Splunk, up 66 per cent from its offer price, Infoblox, up 30 per cent, and Proofpoint, up 20 per cent.Report Typo/Error

Hello all, It's a SKILL function of Allegro. I want to use this function to make a path using a list of line segments in my SKILL codes. But I do not know how to use it. Could anyone show me some example codes? Thanks. Tom
Try something like: obj = caar(axlDBCreateLine(list(10:10 10:15 15:15), 1, ""BOARD GEOMETRY/OUTLINE"")) l_segments=obj->segments axlMakeDynamicsPath(l_segments~>startEnd) I have a PCR raised against the documentation.
Thank you for your reply. But I still have a question. How this function deal with arcs? The help document of Allegro says it supports lines and arcs.
Good question! Probably requires a Cadence reply.

Welcome to the new Fire Pokemon Club, where all of us embrace the flame!
1. Follow the standard rules that apply to all clubs. If you do not know what they are
click here
to find out.
2. Topics should have reference to Fire Pokemon in some sort of way. New members (after the club becomes established) cannot post topics for a few days after joining, but may still answer them and talk about anything related to Fire pokemon.
3. Gross Inactivity or rule-breaking may lead to expulsion from the club. In the case of inactivity, you may reapply again. If you are kicked because you broke too many rules you will not generally be allowed back into the club. If you think this is unfair, message me, however if you are persistent rule breaker you will need to try very hard to convince me of anything.
4. Enjoy yourself and feel free to talk about anything about the Fire type, as long as of course you aren't insulting the Fire type in general or any members. Remember, there is a difference between constructive criticism and an insult
5. Pictures are allowed to be posted, but keep them to an acceptable size. Not massive pictures please as this takes time to load up especially for folks not blessed with a fast connection or a decent computer, if you think its too big you can always have it in spoiler tags, Banners, artwork etc. is welcomed as long as it's either original or you give credit to the artist who originally drew it.

I bought lots of fruit and vegetables at my local farmer's market yesterday, still unsure what I was going to make this week. Then I noticed that today is National Zucchini Bread Day. I found this recipe on one of my favorite food blogs, smitten kitchen. I had the Farm Fresh Eggs and Zucchini from the Farmer's Market, I checked the pantry and I had everything else on the list. Within minutes I was making Zucchini Bread.
You can either make Zucchini Bread or Muffins with this recipe; the only difference is the cooking time. As I'm writing this post I can smell it baking in the oven, smells so good. I love it when you walk into a room and you can smell something baking.
Zucchini Bread
Adapted from smitten kitchen
Yield: 2 loaves or 24 muffins
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 ¾ cups sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped pecans {optional}
Putting it all together
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. If you choose to make muffins instead, line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Mix in oil and sugar, then zucchini and vanilla. Set aside.
In another large bowl combine the dry ingredients {flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pecans.}
Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Divide the batter into loaf pans.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. If your making muffins, bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
In honor of National Pecan Month I used pecans in my recipe. You can add your favorite nut or dried fruit like dried cranberries or raisins. You can even add chocolate chips!

Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
The World Vaccines Market Is Predicted...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
RNAi Is Working on Tactics to...
FDA approved AstraZeneca's blood-thinning drug Brilinta (ticagrelor) to reduce cardiovascular death and heart attack in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). It works by preventing the formation of new blood clots, thus maintaining blood flow in the body.
Brilinta has been studied in combination with aspirin. A boxed warning to healthcare professionals and patients warns that aspirin doses above 100 milligrams per day decrease the effectiveness of the medication.
"In clinical trials Brilinta was more effective than Plavix in preventing heart attacks and death, but that advantage was seen with aspirin maintenance doses of 75 to 100 milligrams once daily," points out Norman Stockbridge, M.D., Ph.D., director of the division of cardiovascular and renal products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The boxed warning also notes that like other blood-thinning agents Brilinta increases the rate of bleeding and can cause significant, sometimes fatal, bleeding. The most common adverse reactions reported by people taking the drug in clinical trials were bleeding and difficulty breathing.
Brilinta was approved with a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, under which the company must conduct educational outreach to physicians to alert them about the risk of using higher doses of aspirin. In addition, Brilinta will be dispensed with a Medication Guide that informs patients of the most important information about the treatment.
Brilinta is now sanctioned in 39 countries including the U.S., Brazil, Australia, Canada, and in the EU (where it is called Brilique) reimbursed in seven countries. AstraZeneca says that the therapy is currently under regulatory review in an additional 45 countries including Russia, India, and China.

"THE MAGNIFICENT BAZARUTO ARCHIPELAGO." Ilha do Bazaruto by K.Knight
Ilha do Bazaruto Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 37 photos
Anne and I traveled on a Kumuka overland truck with this likely lot.....
Back row left to right... Nina, Bev, Jenny, Carolyn, Tam, Gemma, Anne and Sue.
Front row left to right...Mareeka, Leanne, Catherine and the Devine Miss K (Kris.)
Not pictured... Brett, Greg, Jeremy, Colin and me.
Vilanculos, the Bazaruto Archipelago and Inhassoro make up the tourism heart of Mozambique. The area is connected to the south by a newly constructed tarred road and you will be amazed how many pot holes that they have been able to fit in to virtually every square inch of this road!!!!!
If you plan to visit one destination in Mozambique this string of islands should be it. The main ones are Santa Carolina, Bazaruto, Benguerra and Magaruque. They offer a quintessential tropical holiday with isolated palm and casuarinas tree shaded beaches, rich tropical reefs and clear warm water .
During low tide many white sandy islands pop up, covered in shells. Six hours later they will be ten meters underwater again. Legend has it that the Portuguese disposed of prisoners this way, by dropping them off on a beautiful deserted island.
- Pros:A very beautiful part of the world.
- Cons:Very isolated.
- In a nutshell:Isolated but beautiful area with surprisingly good services.

What the numbers are showing us
How average people are building great wealth
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
We estimate that the aggregate net proceeds that we will receive in this
offering will be approximately $75.2 million, based upon the sale of 1,896,442
shares of our common stock by us in this offering at $44.00 per share, after
deducting the underwriter's discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by us. This estimated amount of net proceeds assumes that
the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised. If the
over-allotment option is exercised in full, our net proceeds are expected to
increase by approximately $11.7 million.
We intend to contribute approximately $ 44.0 million of aggregate net proceeds
from this offering to the Bank as equity capital. While this capital
contribution will not be sufficient to allow the Bank to comply with the
minimum capital ratio requirements of the Bank Order, it will improve our
capital position and bring the Bank closer to compliance with these
requirements. However, we believe that following the contribution to the
Bank of at least $44.0 million in capital from this offering and subject to
the successful completion of an on-site examination of the Bank by our primary
regulators confirming our condition, we will qualify for replacement of the
Bank Order with another form of enforcement agreement between the Bank and
our regulators which we expect would include provisions for maintenance of
at least an 8.5% Tier 1 capital ratio and continued improvement in the Bank's
asset quality. We expect that we will continue to face significant
restrictions on our operations under both the Bank Order and any other
enforcement agreement that replaces the Bank Order.
We anticipate that a contribution of approximately $44.0 million of the
aggregate net proceeds from this offering, together with the Bank's
preliminary earnings for January and expected earnings in February, will be
adequate to bring the Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio to no less than 8.5%.
However, if management determines that a greater or lesser amount would be
necessary to reach that targeted capital ratio taking into account, among
other things, changes in the average assets and variations in the Bank's net
income that may affect our regulatory capital ratios, we may adjust the actual
amount of the contribution, up to the aggregate net proceeds.
The remaining proceeds will be used by HomeStreet, Inc., for general corporate
The amount and timing of the actual use of proceeds described above may vary
significantly and depend on a number of factors.
We face intense competition in originating loans and in attracting deposits
within our targeted geographic market. We compete by consistently delivering
high quality, personal service to our customers that results in a high level
of customer satisfaction.
We attract our deposits through our branch office system. Competition for
those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial
banks and credit unions located in the same community, as well as mutual
funds and other alternative investments. We are facing increasing competition
for deposits and other financial products from non-bank institutions such as
brokerage firms and insurance companies in such areas as short-term money
market funds, mutual funds and annuities. Our key competitors within our
largest market area, the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue MSA, include Bank of America,
Wells Fargo Bank, US Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (as the successor to
Washington Mutual Bank) and Key Bank. These competitors controlled
approximately 69.2% of the deposit market share with $48.6 billion of the
$70.3 billion total deposits in the Seattle MSA as of June 30, 2011.
Our competition for loans comes principally from banks with a nationwide
presence along with mortgage bankers, commercial banks, thrift institutions,
credit unions and finance companies. Our market area has a high concentration
of financial institutions, many of which are branches of large money center
and regional banks that have resulted from the consolidation of the banking
industry in Washington and other western states. These include such large
national lenders as Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase & Co., U.S. Bancorp,
Wells Fargo and others in our market area that have greater resources than we
do and compete with us for banking business in our targeted market area.
Among the advantages of some of these institutions are their ability to make
larger loans, finance extensive advertising campaigns, access lower cost
funding sources and allocate investment assets to regions of highest yield
and demand. Despite these advantages, we believe we can compete with larger
financial institutions by offering a value proposition based on outstanding
customer service, strong values and integrity, real estate expertise, local
knowledge and faster decision-making and a commitment to the communities we
We are a 90-year-old diversified financial services company headquartered in
Seattle, Washington, that has grown from a small mortgage bank to a
full-service community bank serving consumers and businesses in the
Pacific Northwest and Hawaii. In 1986 we established the Bank to fund
our lending
activities and to offer a broader range of products and services.
Our banking strategy has allowed us to expand our lending activities while
building stable core deposits and a more diversified core customer base that
offers better cross-selling opportunities. The Bank has the oldest continuous
relationship of all Fannie Mae seller servicers in the nation, having been
the second company approved by Fannie Mae at its founding in 1938.
Our primary subsidiaries are HomeStreet Bank and HomeStreet Capital
Corporation. HomeStreet Bank is a Washington state-chartered savings bank
that provides deposit and investment products and cash management services.
The Bank also provides loans for single family homes, commercial real estate,
construction, land development and commercial businesses. HomeStreet Capital
Corporation, a Washington corporation, originates, sells and services
multifamily mortgage loans under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and
Servicing TM Program ("DUS") in conjunction with HomeStreet Bank. We also
provide insurance products and services for consumers and businesses as
HomeStreet Insurance and loans for single family homes through a joint
venture, Windermere Mortgage Services Series LLC ("WMS"). At September
30, 2011, we had total assets of $2.32 billion, net loans held for investment
of $1.36 billion, deposits of $2.06 billion, and shareholders' equity of
$80.3 million. At December 31, 2010, we had total assets of $2.49 billion,
net loans held for investment of $1.54 billion, deposits of $2.13 billion
and shareholders' equity of $58.8 million. We recognized net income of $15.3
million for the third quarter of 2011, as compared to net income of $1.3

We operate four primary lines of business: Community Banking, Single Family
Lending, Income Property Lending and Residential Construction Lending.
Community Banking . We provide diversified financial products and services
to our consumer and business customers, including deposit products, investment
products, insurance products, cash management services and consumer and
business loans.
Single Family Lending . We originate, sell and service residential mortgage
loans both directly and through our relationship with WMS. We also originate
and service loans for our portfolio on a selective basis.
Income Property Lending . We originate commercial real estate loans with a
focus on multifamily lending through Fannie Mae's DUS program. These loans
are sold to or securitized by Fannie Mae, and we generally retain the right
to service them. We also originate commercial real estate construction, land,
bridge and permanent loans for our own portfolio.
Residential Construction Lending . We originate residential construction and
land development loans primarily for our own portfolio.
