the b roppongi Hotel Tokyo Guest Reviews (6)
The b roppongi is a clean hotel and in a very good location for resturants and the underground. The buffet breakfast has a variety of hot and cold food and is of a good standard. I would stay here again.

Excellent location! One minute walk to a subway entrance, close to great restaurants, bars and shopping. Excellent place to stay for nightlife in Tokyo. Close to Tokyo Midtown Tower and Park. No WiFi, but there is an free ethernet connection in the room, and a computer in the lobby you can use for free; or you can rent it for the day to take up to your room for 1,000 yen. Our breakfast was included in the room when we booked through [this website]. Continental breakfast buffet consisted of toast, rolls, donuts, yogurt, cereal, eggs, potatoes, breakfast meat, and mixed vegetables; coffee, milk and juice. The food was decent, I liked everything accept the scrambled eggs.

The hotel is fairly new, nice bed, sheets, clean room, etc but the standard room is tiny. I think this is normal for Tokyo though so overall a pretty good hotel (especially when you compare the prices to other hotels in the area.

I stayed at the hotel twice over the course of a week. The rooms are small but comfortable and have all you need. If you have a choice stay in a room at an upper level as there can be a bit of noise. Otherwise take ear plugs. It's well located as well. The staff are helpful and friendly.

Everyone, if you've been waiting for BLACK ANGEL, your wait is over! This is the book with the hero who isn't human, to give you a refresher. To celebrate, here is the blurb and a sexy excerpt to enjoy!
Lost in a snowstorm, Brielle of Brightwater prays for the Goddess Eliana to save her. Her deliverance comes from an unlikely savior, with obsidian skin and ominous, leathery wings. Despite his appearance, she's convinced he's an angel, sent to her by the Goddess.
Alric Flievve is Genessa, a race of beings from another world. He's been banished for a crime he didn't commit, and is fascinated Brielle sees him as anything other than a demon. It isn't long until their friendship grows stronger, and forbidden passions abound.
But their love is challenged when the doorway to Alric's world opens, and two Genessa from his past step through. Hell-bent on death and destruction, they target Brielle, and they'll stop at nothing to see Alric suffer. When their dark, horrible magics twist Brielle's soul, can Alric's own power overcome their hate and jealousy before she's lost to him forever?
Brielle's feet alighted on a carpet of grass. The entire temple was no longer covered with snow. Along the walls were lit torches, and each empty window was now filled with colorful glass, depicting Genessa in all kinds of striking and beautiful poses. Even the ceiling, through which they'd descended mere moments before, had somehow appeared, with painted scenes of Genessa worshipping their Goddess.
It was magical and breathtaking.
Alric smiled, but his eyes betrayed his sadness. "This is how my temple used to appear," he said, his voice resonating off the walls.
"It's glorious."
"All you see is an illusion. That is all I can give you, Brielle. I
cannot give you a family or a home. I have no wealth or friends. There is nothing here."
She shook her head and reached up to stroke his cheek. He sighed in response, holding her hand there with his own.
"That is not true," she told him gently. "You've given me your life, have you not?"
"You know that I have."
"Then what else is there to care about?"
Staring into his eyes, she couldn't resist swiping her thumb over his bottom lip. His breathing quickened while a muscle ticked in his jaw.
The heat pouring off him engulfed her. She hooked both arms around his neck and stood on her toes in an effort to bring him close. One of his hands threaded through her hair while his other hand slipped under her cloak, making her shiver with its intense warmth.
"You would give up your life to be with me?" he asked, his breath scorching her lips.
"I have no life without you," she confessed.
Alric groaned and lowered his head, kissing her without mercy. His mouth was hot, moving on hers, demanding her participation. Brielle's surrender was total. She kissed him with a newfound fervor, rejoicing that his hand held her head steady. There was no escape from his onslaught.
His tongue was like wet fire, tracing the line of her mouth, asking to be let in. She didn't think twice before parting her lips and allowing his plunder. While he kissed her, the hand under her cloak slowly descended, only to cup her bottom through the fabric of her skirts.
From her bottom, he wandered down further, hooking her knee and bringing her leg to his hip. Brielle gasped into his mouth, but didn't let go of him. She couldn't believe how excited she was. Her excitement seemed to intensify with every beat of her heart.

"I can't begin to say how impressed I was with this card & with the fast service & how well they were packaged! The card cost a little more than box retail stores but it was well worth it.

I will shop here again!"

Cody Ross joins crowded outfield, ready to help D-backs
A guest of Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Thursday, Ross detailed the circumstances that led to him signing with the team.
Saying there was a good amount of interest in his services, Ross noted that most of the calls seemed to be coming from East coast teams. Hoping to stay closer to his Arizona home, one night the phone rang with the right team on the line.
"The Texas Rangers called," he said. "They were actually, really wanted me, you know, they wanted to move pretty quick."
Ross said the Rangers flew him into town the next day and he met with the team's brass, and he was having dinner when his phone started to ring again.
"I excused myself, went to the bathroom and saw that my agent had texted me that the Diamondbacks had called," he said. "So, long story short, the next day -- I flew home that night into Arizona -- and woke up and went to lunch with the front office of the Diamondbacks and pretty much almost agreed to a deal at that point.
"It just all came about so quick."
Indeed it did.
Ross, 32, hit .267 with 22 home runs and 81 RBI last year for the Boston Red Sox. He has spent time with the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, Florida Marlins and San Francisco Giants as well, and brings a solid glove to go along with a very capable bat.
However, he knows he is joining an already crowded outfield, and said the team told him early on there was a chance no move would be made. So, Ross is going to have to fight for every bit of playing time he gets.
That's fine.
Ross said while he prefers playing in center field, he's comfortable at all three outfield positions.
Listen: Cody Ross, D-backs' newest outfielder When the D-backs traded for another outfielder many were confused as to why. But listen to this interview and get a glimpse into why the D-backs had to have Cody Ross on their roster.
There is a school of thought that says Ross's arrival almost guarantees the departure of someone else. He said that's not the case.
"They said they were going more towards signing me and worrying about that later," he said of the crowded outfield.
Ross said no one told him anyone was going to be moved, but that they said they liked him enough to want to bring him on board.
"It was just a 'hey we want you, and we want you on this team, we think you're going to be a great addition, let's do this' and I was like 'I'm all in, let's do it.'"

Hang tight!
Recipe by Matt D
"A bright contrast in flavors makes this salad a favorite among friends and family. The yams have a subtle sweetness that pairs nicely with the caramelized onions and kale."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 jewel yams, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch kale, torn into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
I joined allrecipes.com just so I could rate this incredible recipe. I made it exactly as printed and I will make it again and again! Yam and kale are big favorites in our home, but we haven't put them together until now. Delicious!
We've never had kale before, so I searched the best-rated recipe to try it for the first time. Maybe it's just the kale that makes this recipe a "one-star".
106 Ratings
Delicious, and made even better, in my opinion, by adding a liberal amount of crumbled goat cheese on top when serving. I did it to add protein so as to make this salad a complete dinner, but found that it added an amazing depth of flavor to the whole combination.
My family did not like this that much, but I loved it enough not to care. I used packaged, torn kale which is usually tougher and more bitter so I will try again maybe with a different green hoping to make them like this. I could not get enough-and the kids did pick out the sweet potato and ate it so it wasn't a total flop (yes, I do know there is a difference between yam and sweet potato but I don't think the difference is enough to search out the yams instead of using a sweet potato:-) ).
We have been trying lots of dishes with Kale as we have a bumper crop this year. This salad was great and a nice side to prep ahead to make the dinner rush a bit less rushed. Unique and delicious! My meat-i-vour husband thought that bacon would be needed to make it acceptable, but once he tasted it his comment was "it could almost have used more kale"!
Great recipe! I had to cook both the potatoes and kale a bit longer. I omitted the thyme and used balsamic vinegar because that is what I had.
Same for me, Phynn! I joined JUST so I could rave about how yummy this salad is. I used sweet potatoes and fresh kale (cooked so it was just barely wilted). The flavor and texture contrasts make this super healthy salad a fun new addition to my clean eating menu. I'm so psyched to have discovered another clean meal that's full of nutrients and FAR from boring. Wicked easy to make too...I'll be making this ALL summer!
I was skeptical about the vinegar at the end, but it totally brightens up the dish! It really is too good to let it cool. It's delicious warm! LOVED this dish!

I adopted "Boo Boos" in April of 2008. He was surrendered to the Coon Rapids Animal Humane Society because his previous owner had allergies. At the time, he was almost 20 pounds. When I saw him there, I could not resist. I knew he had to be my cat. He is down to about 16 or 17 pounds now, we're working on it. He has been the most amazing cat and companion I could ever ask for. I never knew a cat could love a person so much. He's always at the door when he hears me coming home. His favorite thing in the world to do is cuddle, and I am happy to do that with him. He has his goofy quirks, like anytime you're walking toward a sink he follows so he can drink out of the faucet. Or licking the windows, or condensation from glasses or cans. He's truly a unique cat, and I am so glad I found him. Thank you for taking him in!

Your original message pretended that the FSF wanted to rename the kernel, and implied that they were somehow using coercion via the GPL to get there. Nonsense. Now you want to discuss if they have any right to name the operating system, fine, let's discuss it once more, but this time with concrete numbers.
First, the embedded field is not the primary focus of Stallman or the FSF, as you may or not have guessed. It plays a growing part in their concerns however.
IMHO it is reasonable for the FSF to ask people to use the name "GNU/Linux"; after all, it was Stallman who came out with the idea of a libre, complete operating system, and they are the only ones providing it: GlibC, GCC, Emacs, Bash, Core- and FileUtils and GNOME; with the known exception of the kernel. Counting all of these makes out for a reasonably large portion of GNOME-based distros such as Ubuntu Linux.
Many of the software packages you mention are either alternatives or not part of the operating system, but whatever, let's compare them. All in all the GNU project is probably the largest software provider in most GNU/Linux distributions, with at least 15 million lines of code, vs 8 for OpenOffice, 6 for Linux, 4 for KDE and 3 for Mozilla. Yes, I have counted them.
As others have pointed out, the amount of software provided by the FSF is dwindling with time, since other large packages are being added to most distributions. That can only be seen as a good thing, and the FSF doesn't seem to worry about that. Again, more important than the quantity of software is the fact that GNU is the only project willing to develop (not just distribute) a complete operating system. They have provided the necessary pieces of infrastructure that nobody else cared about. (Once Landley's GNU-less project is released we can revisit this discussion if you want.) Linux itself has already been replaced.
So the answer for me is a resounding yes on three counts: history, numbers and necessity say that it is reasonable for the GNU project to get a mention in the complete system name. Now if only popularity is to be measured, as you seem to imply, then GNU should indeed be disregarded.
Should it be GNU/Linux

Nope, Free Software doesn't work like that. Shame on you.
If you're not happy with just being listed in the CREDITS file (or equivalent), then don't release code under the GPL. Find a licence with an advertising clause rather than working outside the licence you choose.

I really *really* want an LWN killfile. It only needs one name in it so far (hm, actually, two, but we haven't seen much of `genius' lately, touch wood).

Ok, let's go to http://www.ibiblio.org/jmaynard/ and read the bit right above the download link:
> This site contains copies of distribution tapes, other source and > object code libraries, and pregenerated, runnable distributions of IBM > public domain software written for the System/360 and System/370 > mainframe computers. > > All of the software on this site is in the public domain.

US copyright law, until > 1978, placed such materials in the public domain.
I repeat my earlier assertion that for most of the 1970's proprietary software wasn't even an issue on the hobbyist programmer community's radar. When Gates did his "letter to hobbyists" in 1976 the response was essentially to laugh it off. The Lyons book was published before anyone knew if it was even legally possible to copyright source code, which was made explicit by a new law passed in 1979, and whether or not that copyright extension covered binaries wasn't settled until Apple sued Franklin over the ROM images in its' Apple II clones in 1983. (So between 1979 and 1983 if you wanted to be sure copyright covered your work you made darn sure to distribute source code with prominent copyright notices.)
Which gets us back to "the FSF wasn't being visionary, it was being reactionary and conservative from day 1".
> Linux itself has already been replaced.
Plus existence of BSD and MacOSX and the Posix certifications of Windows NT and OS/360...
Closer to home, Shawn Jackman built a subset of the BusyBox applets under newlib+libgloss in 2005, running against the bare metal with no underlying OS kernel.
What Linux pioneered was modern open source collaborative development through the internet with release early/release often and all that jazz. And he's pioneered scaling that mode with a driver maintainers layer between the project's leader and the developers, and then it went to a four-layer thing with the lieutenants (essentially subsystem maintainers above the driver maintainers). Plus being the first project to apply a modern distributed source control system to open source development.
The Cathedral and the Bazaar was a paper about how Linus's working style differed from that of the FSF. (The cathedral was specifically the FSF.) The FSF benefitted from the internet but Linux was the first development project predicated on taking full advantage of it from day one. (The FSF insisted on physical copyright assignments with a signature on a piece of paper, and still do. Linus often merges over a hundred patches in a day, that kind of bureaucracy just wouldn't work.)

I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally different development styles, the ``cathedral'' model of most of the commercial world versus the ``bazaar'' model of the Linux world.
Perhaps this is not only the future of open-source software. No closed-source developer can match the pool of talent the Linux community can bring to bear on a problem. Very few could afford even to hire the more than 200 (1999: 600, 2000: 800) people who have contributed to fetchmail!

IBM didn't make the existing versions proprietary, they stopped releasing new open versions. (Keep in mind IBM didn't accept outside contributions to their OS. The modern equivalent of this is that the sole copyright holder were free to issue new licenses, as Sun is doing with the GPL. But the code that was out there stayed out there.)
IBM's big change of heart was called the "Object Code Only (OCO) Policy", issued February 8, 1983. Here's a copy of their original announcement: http://landley.net/history/mirror/ibm/oco.html
Here's the final report of SHARE's attempt to get IBM to change its mind (essentially giving up 5 years later): http://www.redbug.org/dba/sharerpt/share71/s987.html
And an history article putting it in context: http://www.itworld.com/Comp/1369/LWD000606S390/

Going from a world that had less than a hundred thousand computers in it to a world that has more than a hundred million in the space of about 15 years led to some impressive culture shock on the part of the programming community. What happened is that most of the existing programmers didn't see alternative ways of doing things as a _threat_, because they didn't realize they were about to be outnumbered by a factor of 1000.

He was striving to maintain the status quo. Return to the glorius past. The way we did it in the good old days was superior to these newfangled professional software development businesses.
He may have been right, but that doesn't change the nature of his actions. And how right he was when what he was originally trying to defend was the ITS system against the MIT administration, and the rebase to Unix only came about when the PDP-10 hardware line and proposed "Jupiter" follow-on project were cancelled (also in 1983), rendering ITS (written entirely in PDP-10 assembly) a clear dead-end. His move to Unix was forced upon him when ITS died, he just wanted to move as little as possible.
Fast forward to _today_ and people are going "oh, what great new insights do you have for us with your keen eye for the future" when all he ever did was prefer 1977 to 1983. I do not look for great insights from this man, I look for clever hacks to defend ideas from the 1970's, often with long elaborate rationalizations for things he's already made up his mind on. (Show me the last time he _changed_ his mind due to new information. Yeah I know, he's not inflexible, he's making a stand on principle. I honestly thought he might take up the cause of deCSS in 2000, but ITS couldn't play DVDs. There still isn't a GNU deCSS implementation. Not a battle he wants to fight.)

From Eric Raymond directly, while editing The Art of Unix Programming (check the intro for my name), and outright co-authoring things like the OSI reaction paper to the SCO lawsuit, Halloween 9, and the 64-bit paper (which he insisted on titling "world domination 201")...
It's in the book, though, if you look for it: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathed...

A couple times he's talked about a specific 1996 conference that Tim O'Reiley put together (and that he, Linus, and RMS attended) where worked it all out for the first time, seeing them next to each other and thinking about the differences. I could ask him for details...
> I don't see why not. The piece of paper is just needed once per > developer;
Needed at precisely the wrong time.
I touched on it here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2002/1/29/9
Most developers start out as casual contributors. A line here, a bugfix there. The less they have invested in participating in a project's development, the more easily discouraged they are. Needing a sign-off to get cvs commit access is one thing, but needing a sign-off to take your five line function? Eh, it wasn't that important anyway.
> developers do not change that much,
In a project with 1000 semi-regular contributors, the top 20 don't change that much month to month. Call the newspapers.
The point is where do they come from? Let's look at a couple of examples:
Con Koliavs: scheduler dude. When he got into Linux his day job was as an Australian anesthesiologist, he started poking around Linux for fun. First time he wandered away, two years later he tried again and got hooked: http://kerneltrap.org/node/465
Andrew Morton, current #2 in the development community. Only got involved in the project in 2000, because a NIC he was using had been declared obsolete and he sent in a patch fixing it. (Was anybody other than him still _using_ that NIC? Dunno. He could have maintained it out of tree, but it was easier to get it merged so it wouldn't break again.) http://kerneltrap.org/node/10
Even the early adopters did stuff before Linux. Alan Cox used to do Amiga stuff and MUDs, Peter Anvin first used Linux to put together terminal servers...
Back when I read the first year or so of the linux kernel mailing list, I collected a few interesting posts (with links back to the originals in the archive): http://landley.net/history/mirror/linux/1991.html http://landley.net/history/mirror/linux/1992.html
Now ask yourself: how many of those people would have just wandered away again if Linus had asked them to fill out paperwork as a condition of participating?
Attracting and breaking in new developers is extremely important to the long-term health of a project. This is why things like kernelnewbies.org exist.

I do hope you're right and the FSF is being more realistic now. Not to long ago, though, they required papers for just about anything. I think I still have the proof in my filing cabinet!

It looks like you slipped in just above that limit.
(I find it very little effort to do the occasional copyright assignment dance: the *really* annoying part is getting your employer to disclaimer-of-rights forms, because even if they agree they can be *so* damn slow at it it's not true. I've had to wait >6mths for these sometimes.)

[about RMS, and his visionary qualities] >Why is that "reactionary"? He was striving to maintain the status quo. Return to the glorius past.
>Why is that "reactionary"?
He was striving to maintain the status quo. Return to the glorius past.
Stallman wanted not to return to a naïve past where kind people shared code, but go on to a new situation where people wrote free software because they wanted it to be free, and companies (a new concept) pooled their effort. Guess what, it works.
[again about RMS, and his cathedralicious model of development] It's in the book, though, if you look for it: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathed...

I am trying to carry out a modal analysis or a simple truss bridge.
When carrying out the modal analysis I get the message: 'Number of missing eigenvalues found = 3'
If I select cancel (to search for all modes), I get the error message 'execution problem: 3240'. Then ROBOT crashes.
I have ticked the 'Sterm check' button for the modal analysis.
I have allowed a very large number of iterations (30000).
Is there anything else I can / should be doing?
Selecting 'No' on the 'Number of missing eigenvalues found = 3' message box runs the analysis fine. What is the implication for not searching for missing eigenvalues?
Thank you for your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Turn off Sturm Check in Modal analysis.
If it does not help please send us model.
Turning the Sterm check off worked. Thank you.
out of interest why would the Sturm check algorithm cause ROBOT to crash while checking for skipped eigenvibrations?
PLease send us model to check.
It should not crash.
Please find attached the ROBOT model which crashes when I have the 'Sturm Check' box ticked.
It runs fine when the 'Sturm Check' box is not ticked.
With Sturm check you can caclulate 97 modes without any problems.
Why do you need more? In fact first 4 modes are global modes, I guess the most interesting ones.
Good point!
I was trying to achieve 90% MEM participation in each direction and we are interested in frequencies upto 33Hz. Infact 97 modes should be fine.
I was trying to achieve 90% MEM participation in each direction
33 modes is enough
and we are interested in frequencies upto 33Hz. Infact 97 modes should be fine.
101 modes with sturm check and press NO as answer for enlarging number of modes... or turn off sturm check.

Benjamin Whetham, Grand Forks, letter: Obama wrong on birth control mandate
If Herald readers think health insurance covering birth control is a good idea, then they also must think that car insurance that covers oil changes is a good idea.By: Benjamin Whetham ,
GRAND FORKS — Last time I checked, pregnancy is not a disease and is not contagious. The pill is around $50 to $75 per month; condoms are even cheaper.
And ironically, what the new health insurance mandate to cover birth control will do is make birth control both more expensive and less accessible.
After all, the whole point of insurance is to cover catastrophic events. For example, while minor car accidents can be expensive, they are not catastrophic. Insurance is for when I lose control on an icy road and cause a four-car pileup, resulting in a $90,000 bill. That's a truly catastrophic event that could break a person.
So, if Herald readers think health insurance covering birth control is a good idea, then they also must think that car insurance that covers oil changes is a good idea.
The government is exacerbating a problem that it caused in the first place — namely, tying health insurance to employment via the tax code. When people try to buy health insurance on their own, they pay all the payroll taxes on that money first; but if they get that insurance through an employer, they pay none of those taxes.
Thus, employers are motivated to give ever-more generous health benefits instead of higher wages. So, take-home wages stagnate, and health care costs skyrocket as clinics have little motivation to control them.
The solution is obvious: Give the same tax breaks to people who buy insurance on their own, and let employees take as extra wages the money their employer currently spends on premiums.
The insurance market quickly will restructure to offer appropriate plans. Most people probably would opt for a low-cost policy with a high deductible, put money into a health savings account and still end up thousands of dollars richer.
This also would help solve the portability and pre-existing condition problem because health insurance, like car insurance, wouldn't be tied to employment and could follow the individual.

Any ideas on how to meet Simon and Raja? http://www.clubzone.com/events/event49949.html
If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on.

[quote author="Asydhead"]Just knowing that Simon and Raja are in Seattle right now makes me feel all giddy.

SALEM – A Salem woman with a history of being arrested for driving under the influence is being held without bail pending her trial.
Jacquelyn Plum, 46, of 22 Millville Circle, Salem, has pending trials for two different cases of driving while intoxicated, second offense. Police said her most recent arrest came when she waved at a police officer on a road construction detail, and that officer recognized her after arresting her in March.
At a hearing in Salem District Court on Monday, Salem police prosecuting attorney Jason Grosky moved to revoke Plum's $10,000 bail stemming from a September incident, arguing that it was the only way to keep her alcohol-free and ensure that she does not get behind the wheel of a car.
Judge John A. Korbey granted the prosecution's request and ordered Plum held without bail pending trial. She was taken into custody at court and transported to Rockingham County House of Corrections, according to Salem Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten.
Patten said Plum has been arrested four times and charged with DWI - in 2005, 2006, and twice this year.
Plum's most recent brushes with the law date back to March 30 of this year, when she was arrested for driving while intoxicated, second offense. Hours after Plum was bailed out, she was arrested for having an open container of alcohol as a passenger in a different vehicle, Patten stated.
While pending trial on that charge, Patten said she was arrested and charged with another driving while intoxicated on Aug. 28. She was arraigned in Salem District Court on the next day where she was freed on $10,000 cash bail and court-ordered not to drive until her cases were resolved.
"Then, on September 30, she allegedly drove a convertible yellow sports car by a road construction on Bluff Street Extension," said Patten. "As she drove by, she apparently waved at Salem police officer Robert Kirley, who was working the road detail."
Kirley recognized Plum, since he was the arresting officer on her March arrest. Police then arrested her on a warrant for driving after suspension and breach of bail conditions.
In court on Monday, Grosky argued that Plum is a public danger, that her first DWI involved a two-car crash, and that the second came after another motorist allegedly found her passed out in her car while stopped at a green light.
Plum's lawyer, Paul Garrity, asked the judge to let her remain free, but to place her on electronic monitoring and have her report to the police department for daily alcohol checks.
Salem woman accused of drunk driving four times held without bail pending trial
Plum is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing on all matters in two weeks. Trial dates have not been set, according to Patten.

Private equity (PE) portfolio companies and private enterprises eventually reach a point where they determine how best to monetize their investment to provide shareholder returns. Many decide between selling the enterprise, preparing for an IPO or other capital-raising alternatives while running concurrent processes to determine the best strategy.
According to our recent US Capital Confidence Barometer, 34% of respondents are planning to divest or pursue an acquisition in the next 12 months. In addition, there is an expected increase in PE exits. Both are indicators that the potential for large deal volume is very real.
Whether you are a PE looking to exit or a private company contemplating an enterprise sale, a greater emphasis on preparation will be required to succeed and maximize transaction value in today's environment.
Join a panel of leading private equity and corporate executives as they share their insights and experiences in world class divesting.

The Debunker: Did the Model T Ford Only Come in Black?
It's the most wonderful time of the year, and not just because of Christmas. Are you aware of how many great inventions we celebrate during December? December 3 was Telescope Day, to commemorate Galileo's 1621 invention. December 21 is Crossword Puzzle Day, since that's when the first one appeared in the New York World in 1913. The transistor, texting, the clip-on tie, Chiclets…all invented during this month. But much of what we know about the world's most important inventions is "patently" false. We've asked Jeopardy!'s Ken Jennings to use 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration in tracking down the truth.
The Debunker: Did the Model T Ford Only Come in Black?
Henry Ford wasn't the inventor of the modern automobile. That would be German engineer Karl Benz. But the Model T, which first rolled out of Ford's Detroit factory in the late summer of 1908, revolutionized transportation. The "Tin Lizzie" was the first affordable horseless carriage, the one that middle-class families could save up for.

This fall, reel in dining deals and events in honor of the Seattle seafood restaurant's big 75th anniversary
SEATTLE, Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier this month Ivar's released its first ever cookbook to kick off the Seattle seafood restaurant's 75th anniversary. Now through Nov. 17, Ivar's will continue the shell-ebration with $7.50 dining deals, rotating menu specials from the cookbook, a new "surprise" ad campaign and a variety of seaworthy culinary, cookbook and charity events.
Anniversary Dining Deals and Promotions
Additional Anniversary Activities
Ivar's Historical Legacy
Ivar's began with one very entrepreneurial spirit – the late Ivar Haglund. Haglund was a true Seattle icon, known as an entertainer, folksinger, restaurateur and ultimately, the "King" of the Seattle waterfront. In 1938, Haglund opened Seattle's first aquarium on Pier 54. As droves of people lined up to view the Puget Sound sea life Haglund had collected, he noticed his patrons were working up an appetite. Haglund quickly began to sell clam chowder and fish n' chips from what is now known as Ivar's Pier 54 Fish Bar.
Always devising new attention-getting capers, Ivar staged a number of famous pranks and masterminded numerous stunts in his time, including the visit to Santa with Patsy the Seal in 1940, international clam eating contests, and an Ivar clam stamp caper in 1960 (later revoked by the U.S. Postal Service). He was also a regular with Captain Puget on KJR and KIRO radio stations, as well as the JP Patches children's television program. Ivar passed away in 1985, just shy of his 80th birthday. The crew at Ivar's carried on his antics in the years that followed with the Dances with Clams commercial in 1991, the shortest Super Bowl commercial in television history and the discovery of Ivar's Underwater Billboards in Puget Sound in 2009, and many more.

I've said many times before how running has brought some amazing people into my life. One of those people is Jane Hardy. Jane (pictured second from right) was on my second Team Bangs on the Run team and was an absolute beacon of friendship, strength and support throughout.
Jane was very open and honest about her struggles with depression and I couldn't be happier to see her channel her own experience into wanting to help others. To do so, she has set up a charity, Blurt, to help fellow depression sufferers get the help they need. The philosophy is to 'Blurt it Out' – tell someone about how you're feeling. Blurt hopes this will go a way towards stamping out the stigma of mental illness, but will also help resolve problems through support, friendship and mentoring.
The charity has been going for almost a year and I've seen Jayne pour her heart and soul into it. Her passion for helping people is infectious and Blurt has helped over 500 people so far, with that figure rising daily.
In order for the charity to keep doing the amazing work they do, it obviously takes money. So, if you fancy raising some moolah and doing a bit of running, Blurt has 30 places in the Oxford Half Marathon in October. If you'd like a challenge and to raise money for Blurt, get in touch with them via their website or Twitter (@BlurtAlerts).
If you or anyone you know is going through a hard time, don't forget to Blurt It Out.

The Garage Office Conversion Continues
Today the third coat of high-gloss Benjamin Moore "Poppy" paint goes up on the bookcase. (The gray on the face is primer.) With each coat, the color changes ever so slightly—the first coat looked like a gorgeous Brandywine heirloom tomato. With the second, we swung back to more of a coral. Between each coat, our painter, Jeff Lee, sands down the paint so that it looks smooth as glass. I'm hoping the third and final application will live up to the color's name: poppy.
[Heather's garage transformation is almost complete. She got ahead of us while I was in New York for ICFF. So next week we should get close to seeing the completed office! Cerentha]

Displaysense reports high street retailers and independent stores are heading into the festive period in full force by increasing their retail display solutions to promote and distribute their range of products in defiance of forecasts of a slump in Christmas sales threatening the speed and strength of the UK's economic recovery.
Displaysense, the UK's leading supplier of display cabinets and cake stands has noticed a growing trend in businesses purchasing more in the way of temporary shop displays. This allows retailers the opportunity to have more stock on display, providing customers more choice as well as retailers the chance to reduce their stock and increase sales during this festive period.
With a slump in sales over the summer period, primarily due to poor weather and unrest in the banking system, there is now a surplus in stock at many retailers which needs to be cleared in order to make way for the latest products and gadgets for 2010.
With the opportunity of Christmas and January sales just around the corner, many shops are looking for as many opportunities as possible to sell, sell, sell and recoup their depreciating investment in the stock they hold. As cash is very much king to retailers and with banks still unwilling to lend, businesses are trying to ensure they can make the most of this silly season of sales and buyer demand approaching.
Steve Whittle the marketing manager at Displaysense, commented on this trend in a positive tone by stating, The fact that a lot of businesses are looking to get rid of their stock shouldn't be seen as a desperate attempt to make some money, but rather that they are ready to move on after a disappointing year. New stock lines bring new opportunities and the lessons learnt over the past year or so should put the majority of companies in good stead for the coming months ahead.
With some ranges of wire chrome shelving units and clothes rails near to selling out at Displaysense, the company is already having to reorder more to fill the demand, which is the opposite to last year's demands which saw the company's 95% off sale signs selling out. The move from desperation to innovation has clearly paved the way for the unexpected upbeat feeling on the high street.
Only time will tell whether the predictions of a gloomy Christmas period will come true, however one thing that is certain, a temporary display isn't just for Christmas. It can be a real life saver for retail shops.
About Displaysense:
Displaysense was established in September of 1978 as a manufacturer of quality point of sale displays. Displaysense has a wealth of experience in design and manufacturing and has been able to develop an ever growing standard range of over 5,000 displays for retail, exhibitions, office and home. The range is now hugely diverse including literature displays, display cabinets, mannequins, office displays, exhibition stands, catering supplies and even items for the home.
Displaysense works with a large range of clients including, retailers (multiple and independent), blue chip corporate clients, cafés, bars, restaurants and night clubs, shop and office fitters, marketing and promotions companies, designers and architects, product distributors, exhibition contractors and exhibitors, printers, councils and NHS trusts, charities, schools and universities and even home consumers.

Posted: 10:55 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, 2011
By Jamie Dupree
Presidential politics came to the floor of the U.S. House on Thursday, as Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr (D-IL) tried to bring up a resolution condemning Gov. Rick Perry of Texas over the name of a hunting lodge linked to his family.
"Nigger is offensive," Jackson said on the House floor. "Niggerhead is offensive," Jackson added, referring to the name that was painted on a rock at the lodge for years.
Jackson tried to bring up his resolution arguing that it was privileged for immediate action under the rules of the House. The Chair rejected that argument, saying it was not linked in any way to actions of the House of Representatives.
Here is the text of Jackson's resolution:
Condemning Texas Governor Rick Perry for using a secluded West Texas hunting camp as a place to host lawmakers, friends and supporters on hunting trips at a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance called ''Niggerhead''.
Mr. JACKSON of Illinois submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on ............
Condemning Texas Governor Rick Perry for using a secluded West Texas hunting camp as a place to host lawmakers, friends and supporters on hunting trips at a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance called ''Niggerhead''.
Whereas on October 2, 2011, the Washington Post reported a story called ''Rick Perry And A Word Set On Stone'';
Whereas upon reading that story the vast majority of people in the United States were morally outraged;
Whereas most of the facts in this resolution come from that Washington Post story;
Whereas Governor Rick Perry has described a childhood in Haskell County in Paint Creek, Texas, as centered on Boy Scouts, school, and church;
Whereas Texas Governor Rick Perry is from West Texas and was originally a Southern Democrat – often known as Dixiecrats – who switched parties in the late 1980s to be- come a Republican and is currently a leading Republican presidential candidate;
Whereas ranchers who once grazed cattle on the 1,070-acre parcel in Throckmorton County on the Clear Fork of the Brazos River – near where Governor Perry was raised in Paint Creek, Texas – it has since become a hunting ground that was called by the name ''Niggerhead'' well before Governor Perry and his father, Ray, began hunt- ing there in the early 1980s even though there is no de- finitive account of when the rock first appeared on the property;
Whereas the use of the term ''Niggerhead'' to describe a hunting retreat is morally offensive;
Whereas Ronnie Brooks, a local resident who guided a few turkey shoots for Governor Perry between 1985 and 1990, said he holds Governor Perry ''in the highest es- teem'' but said this of the rock at the camp: ''It kind of offended me, truthfully'';
Whereas Haskell County Judge David Davis, sitting in his courtroom and looking at a window there, said the word was ''like those are vertical blinds. It's just what it was called. There was no significance other than a hunting deal'' – in other words, the judge was morally vacuous;
Whereas the name of this particular parcel did not change for years and for many remained the same after it became associated with Rick Perry, first as a private citizen, then as a State official, and finally as Texas Governor;
Whereas some local residents still call it by the morally re- pugnant name ''Niggerhead'';
Whereas as recently as this summer, the slab-like rock – lying flat, portions of the name still faintly visible be- neath a coat of white paint – remained by the gated en- trance to the camp;
Whereas asked last week about the name, Governor Perry said the word on the rock is an offensive name that has no place in the modern world – implying that it may have been okay and had an appropriate place in that commu- nity when he was growing up;
Whereas Mae Lou Yeldell has lived in Haskell County, Texas, for 70 years and recalls the racism she faced in the 1950s and 1960s in West Texas, when being called an offensive name – like Whites greeting Blacks with 'Morning nigger'' – was ''like a broken record'';
Whereas Throckmorton County, where the hunting camp is located near Haskell County, was for years considered a virtual no-go zone for African-Americans because of old stories told by locals about the lynching of an African- American man there;
Whereas Haskell County began observing Martin Luther King Jr. Day just two years ago according to a county commissioner in Haskell County;
Whereas Governor Perry grew up in a segregated era whose history has defined and complicated the careers of many Southern politicians;
Whereas Governor Perry has spoken often about how his up- bringing in this sparsely populated farming community influenced his conservatism;
Whereas Governor Perry says he mentioned the offensive word on the rock to his parents shortly after they had signed a lease and he had visited the property, and they rather immediately painted over the word during the next July 4 holiday, but seven people interviewed by the Washington Post said they still saw the word on the rock at various points during the years that the Perry family was associated with the property through his father, partners, or his signature on a lease;
Whereas another local resident who visited the property with Governor Perry and the legislators he brought there to go hunting recalled seeing the rock with the name clearly visible;
Whereas how, when, or whether Governor Perry dealt with it when he was using the property isn't clear and adds a dimension to the emerging biography of Governor Perry who quickly moved into the top tier of Republican presi- dential candidates when he entered the race in August; and
Whereas Herman Cain is the only Republican presidential candidate to criticize Governor Rick Perry for being ''in- sensitive'' when the word was not immediately condemned, but we would remind Herman Cain that the word is not only ''insensitive'', but is also ''offensive'': Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) calls on Governor Rick Perry to apologize for not immediately doing away with the rock that contained the word ''Niggerhead'' at the entrance of a ranch he was leasing and on which he was taking friends, colleagues, and supporters to hunt;
(2) calls on Governor Rick Perry's presidential rivals, who have not yet make strong statements of outrage over the rock that contained the word, to do so;
(3) calls upon Governor Rick Perry to condemn the use of this word as being totally offensive and inappropriate at anytime and anyplace in United States history; and
(4) calls upon Governor Rick Perry to list the names of all lawmakers, friends, and financial supporters he took with him on his hunting trips at ''Niggerhead''.
