From the Austin Police Department:
This holiday season, auto burglars will be dashing through parking lots and streets doing their own window shopping. APD wants to ensure that your gifts do not end up in the wrong hands. Auto burglars shop the easy way by stealing your gifts, purse, wallet, packages or other valuables that you leave in plain sight inside your vehicle. In Texas, a vehicle is burglarized every 2.5 minutes. Auto burglaries escalate during this time of year when people increase shopping and don't take the necessary precautions to protect personal items left in a vehicle. Don't give a thief an opportunity to commit these crimes.
APD wants to remind you to protect your vehicle during this busy holiday season by taking precautions that will make your vehicle less of a target:
• Lock Your Car and take your keys – Don't make it easier for the thief to enter your vehicle
• Park in well-lit areas – over half of all vehicles theft occur at night
• Don't leave valuables in plain view – don't make your car a more desirable target and attract thieves by leaving valuables in plain sight
• Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings
• Avoid carrying a large amount of cash or credit cards
The APD Auto Theft Interdiction Project programs are funded through the Texas Auto Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority part of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicle to reduce auto and burglary theft in the State of Texas.


text: Once again, a lesson in keeping the damn knives sharp. I was cutting the rind off some parmesan -- and you know the rest, even if I was sure my finger was well out of range of the blade. But all I did was keep direct pressure on it for five or ten minutes and then go upstairs to get a bandaid. Looks more like a papercut. If the knife had been dull, it would have torn things up and bled like a great bleeding thing. Yay.

YOU could drive past the hulking warehouse on the rough patch of waterfront in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, several times without ever figuring it for the latest frontier of neurological thrill-seeking. But that's where Yehuda Duenyas, 38, who calls himself "a creator of innovative experiences," was camped out last week, along with his team of scrappy young technical wizards and a quarter-million dollars' worth of circuitry, theatrical lighting and optimism called The Ascent.
Part art installation, part adventure ride, part spiritual journey, "The Ascent" claims to let users harness their brain's own electrical impulses, measured through EEG readings, to levitate themselves. During its brief stay in New York, it welcomed representatives from cultural organizations like PS 122 and Lincoln Center, event promoters and friends of the team.
In the shadowy vastness of the warehouse, "The Ascent" looked spare and heroic, like the setting for the final showdown between good and evil. Up high, a large circular track of lights and equipment hung from the ceiling. Down on the floor, another circle mirrored the one above, with incandescent bulbs illuminating transient puffs of smoke and casting the apparatus in a ghostly light. In the 30 feet between the lights above and the lights below, the air seemed heavy with magic and danger.
An assistant outfitted me with a harness around my middle and a couple of EEG sensors across my forehead. Another assistant led me to the center of the circle and snapped me into the two hanging cables. For one long and mysterious moment, I stood alone in silence. Then the fun began.
A wide band of blue light appeared behind me. Distant echoes sounded, full of portent. Now powerful spotlights blazed around me. The sensors on my forehead were recording the electrical activity they were picking up and sending it to a network of half a dozen laptops, which initiated various sequences of light and sound and motion and smoke.
That band of light was an indicator, I had been told, of my shifting mental state, from blue (focused) through green (less so) to red (distracted). The more I could keep my readout in the blue — by closing my eyes, by concentrating on nothingness — the more cool effects I would trigger. And the higher I would ascend.
The mechanism is mercifully smooth. When my eyes were closed I couldn't even feel if I was moving. I'd just know I was in the right mental zone because I could hear thunderclaps rise and rumble and fall and shatter. I could see an aurora borealis of color playing across my eyelids. I could feel the pulse of bass.
But every time I started thinking about how to describe those effects — or how cool my friend Heather would find all this, how disappointed I was to miss my friend Andrew's birthday — I'd open my eyes and see that my readout had distracted itself back into the red. Time to focus again.
Two-thirds of my way up, 12 spotlights from the circle below threw their powerful beams up into the semidarkness, and the distant echoes gave way to the triumphal strains of Gorecki's Symphony No. 3, played at a volume just short of deafening. The colors gave way to a bright white light, suffusing the warehouse and seemingly sanctifying me. Up farther, as a crown of spotlights shone down, their beams and the ones from below crossed in midair. I rose past the lights and into some uncharted realm, possibly Heaven. Finally a great cymbal crash, a wild whirring of colors and a burst of silvery confetti. From 30 feet below I could hear people applauding.
Accompanied at full blast by "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky, I descended slowly to the circle that had first surrounded me what felt like half a lifetime ago but was only a few minutes.
Down on the ground, someone congratulated me on getting the confetti burst, a final tippy-top thrill that only about 15 percent of ascenders achieve (those who struggle to find the right focus but who make it to the top anyway). I am ashamed to admit how proud I felt.
Compared with levitating, walking again should have felt like a major letdown, but the journey left me exhilarated and ever so slightly altered.
That's the kind of response that Mr. Duenyas, who first conceived of "The Ascent" as part of his master's thesis at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, was hoping for.
"My goal is just to up the epic feeling," he told me. " 'More epic, more epic, more epic,' I kept telling myself." For inspiration, he and his team looked to "those iconic Renaissance paintings of a deity ascending into the heavens, as well as 60s futurism, like '2001.' "
The result is deliberately hard to define.
"There's something so intense and serious about it but at the same time it's totally ridiculous and over-the-top," he said, later adding, "We're still figuring out what it is."
To help answer that question, I brought along Partha Mitra, a neuroscientist who is mapping the brain circuitry of mice at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Driving to Sunset Park that morning, Mr. Mitra had been deeply skeptical.
"You know what it is," he said, "it's mesmerism," the gimmicky pseudoscience that had hoodwinked an earlier era.
EEG technology is a crucial diagnostic tool, but the electrical impulses it detects are faint. Commercial headsets like the one I wore were more likely, he suspected, to be reading the muscles just below the skin.
In his spare time, Mr. Mitra maintains a daily practice of yoga and meditation. So when it was his turn to ascend, he just slipped into a meditative state and cruised steadily up toward the ceiling in a nearly uninterrupted sea of blue. He loved it, happily describing "The Ascent" as perhaps the largest EEG biofeedback installation in the world. "Megaginormous" was the particular term he used. But did the science behind it hold up?
After his ascent, Mr. Mitra spent some time analyzing data streams from other users. He said it was clear that the headset was, indeed, picking up an EEG signal. But it occasionally seemed to be picking up a different signal, too — one coming from the muscles around the eyes, not the wiring of the brain. As to which signal was driving the ride at that point, without a detailed study it was not possible to say for sure, he said.
Whatever "The Ascent" is, Mr. Duenyas got it to Sunset Park on the generosity of a single donor: Jeremy X. Halpern, 47, an artist and musician. Mr. Halpern first met Mr. Duenyas when Mr. Halpern volunteered to be his intern a couple of years ago. Now that its Brooklyn residency has ended, the team has grand ambitions, although no firm plans, for what lies ahead. Asked about his dream setting, Mr. Duenyas mentioned the Park Avenue Armory, the vast entrance of the Tate Modern, the Guggenheim or, why not, the ancient Greek theater in Delphi.
For now he has been enjoying the reactions of visitors. Many said they felt thrilled. A few said they felt inadequate. Rodger Stevens, an artist, recalled: "I just turned to Yehuda and I said, 'That's how I want to die. That's perfect.' "

Holy Week reflections and activities
Here are several quotes for Lent:
From St. John Eudes: We must carry on the war against sin which Jesus began on earth. (SJE, OC 1:173)
From St. Mary Euphrasia: " How shall we spend this holy season:, Firstly, always united to the will of God... Leave God free to act. Perhaps you say to yourself: I do want to despoil myself, to die to myself, " but if we really examine ourselves we shall see that we want to do it our way instead of according to God's will. So he in his great mercy, puts His hand on us, strikes, prunes, removes everything that prevents us living for Him alone. So with humility and submission, let us leave Him free to act. If you are generous enough to allow yourself to be crucified like our dear Lord, to die with him, to bury your poor human nature in the tomb, like Him you will leave it glorious to be born again to divine life. This begins on earth in the mysterious darkness of Faith and will be completed in the splendour of glory, when we shall be able to say with truth: it is not we who live but God who lives in us. (SME, Conference 25)

Happy news about animals
The twin brothers have never served in the military, but they said they felt a patriotic call to duty Friday when they discovered "America's bird" was in peril.
Joe and Jon Barbara, 51, found a bald eagle in Erie on Good Friday and transferred it to Monroe raptor specialists Dave and Scott Hogan for rehabilitation and safekeeping.
"That's our national symbol. It's one of the most powerful symbols in the world, and we just wanted to make sure it was preserved," Joe Barbara, of Erie, said. "We are not heroes. Any good American would have done the same thing.
"The real heroes are those that put their life on the line every day to make sure that symbol is preserved."
Jon Barbara, of Point Place, a Canadian National Railway conductor, spotted the bald eagle perched on a tree stump in a wooded area.
He was scanning the woods last Thursday from the window of his Toledo-bound train because about a week earlier his brother Joe, an engineer for Canadian National, had seen the eagle off the railroad tracks — tracks which he and his brother have ridden from Toledo to Detroit for more than 30 years.
By reporting the bird to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the brothers figured they had done their civic duty. But the brothers and their co-workers continued to keep a lookout, just in case, scanning the woods beyond the tracks whenever they sped past the Substation Road-Suder Avenue area.
After seeing the eagle was still out there, the brothers, who trapped their first muskrat when they were 6 years old, took matters into their own hands.
"It was like the call of the wild," Jon Barbara said. "I called my brother Joe and told him, 'Don't make any plans because we are going to be rescuing a raptor tomorrow.'"
Joe Barbara's wife, Helenne, 46, grabbed their son's video camera and the trio went off for a little "search and rescue" last Friday morning.
Their friend, Erie resident Mick Johnson, 58, drove the pickup and covered "the southern escape route," watching in case the eagle made a dash for the perimeter.
Joe herded the eagle over to his brother Jon, who picked it up by its talons. The eagle, likely famished from a week in the woods and with a broken left wing, did not put up a struggle.
"I thought, 'If the bird's in there, I'm going to get it out. I'm not going to let it spend one more night out there.' It was a feeling of patriotism," Jon Barbara said.
He said his uncles and father fought in World War II, and that neither he nor his brother had ever served the country, "but it's like this was something I could do for the national bird."
"What a great, great, awesome feeling, holding America's bird in your hands," he said. "I've trapped lots of foxes and coyotes over the years, but this was the pinnacle. … I've seen eagles before, but the closest one I ever touched was on the back of a quarter."
Scott Hogan, 27, picked up the eagle from the Barbaras and he and his father, Dave, took it to a veterinarian and got the forearm of its left wing pinned.
The five-pound eagle with a six-foot wing span is staying at the Hogans' back porch with its wing in a sling.
The endangered bird is safe for now.
If it fully recovers, Scott Hogan says he and his father will release it back into the wild. Otherwise, they likely will give the 5-year-old bird to a local zoo to be used in bird shows.

Breaking free from the past
BY PAM DEFIGLIO Daily Herald Staff Writer
Posted Tuesday, February 22, 2005 - Daily Herald Newspaper
Two-year-old Nicholas Mischenko, all chubby cheeks and silky light brown hair, reaches out with his arms.
"Didi," he says to his grandfather, also named Nicholas Mischenko. The word means grandpa in Ukrainian.
Grandpa Nick smiles and takes the eager tot from his mother.
Nick sits in the cozy, wood-paneled bar/social room at the Ukrainian Center in Palatine. His wife Valentina visits with friends at a nearby table. A party-like atmosphere
prevails as parents wait for their kids taking Ukrainian dance lessons upstairs.
Nick, of Mount Prospect, could barely have imagined such contentment in his early life in Ukraine.
In those years, tragedies struck one after another. In that way and others, his life mirrors the ups and downs of Ukraine's history for the past 70 years.
As little Nicholas climbs on his lap, the older man remembers two other baby boys, his brothers. One died of starvation; the other died of malnutrition during the years
when the Soviets, trying to subjugate Ukraine, cut off the food supply.
It was the darkest chapter, Ukrainians say, in the 350-year struggle between their homeland and the Russian leaders seeking to dominate Ukraine.
In 1920, the Soviets seized most of Ukraine, and the country became a Soviet republic two years later. Not long after, the communists tried to destroy what was left of
Ukraine's cultural identity.
Yet, Nick and his family are proof that - in exile - Ukrainian culture survived.
That culture lives on in 2-year-old Nicholas and his 4-year-old sister Isabella, who speak Ukrainian; it's why their mother, Natalia, teaches Ukrainian dance, and why
parents drive from places like St. Charles to Palatine twice a week so their kids can learn about Ukrainian poets.
Ukrainians in the United States "are the carriers - we continue the culture," says Nick Mischenko. "We thought, in the event of Ukraine becoming independent, we could
return it back to them."
Now, he's hoping the culture-in-exile can flourish once more on Ukrainian soil. That's partly why Nick flew to Ukraine two months ago. He served as an international
poll-watcher for the critical election that resulted in the victory of Viktor Yuschenko over a Russia-backed candidate.
The election propelled Ukraine in the direction of true independence. And far away, Ukrainian Americans played their own parts.
Half a nation killed
Recent history, however, cannot help but remind some Ukrainians of their difficult past.
Nick starts his story in 1931, three years before he was born.
Soviet soldiers showed up at the 27-acre farm Nick's parents and grandparents shared in eastern Ukraine.
It was the dawn of communism, and the Soviets wanted Ukrainians to turn over their land and join collective farms.
"All the food produced there is the property of the government, and they treat you like a slave," Nick says.
Like most, the Mischenkos resisted.
When Ukrainian peasants refused to cooperate, Soviet soldiers went from farm to farm, taking away by force any food the families had. That included
crops, stored food and seeds for the next year's crops.
"They came to our house with steel rods, because peasants used to bury food in the ground," Nick explains. If the soldiers' probes found hidden food,
they killed family members or deported them to Siberia.
Soldiers turned many families out of their homes to die from exposure.
But mostly, Ukrainians starved.
"The famine began in late 1931 and lasted until late 1933," Nick says. "In 20 months, 10 million people died of starvation."
Ukrainians now call the famine a genocide, though it was part of a pattern of Soviet oppression that lasted decades. From 1933 to 1938, the Soviets
executed the leaders of Ukrainian society - teachers, writers, scientists, artists - and sent many Ukrainians to concentration camps.
Between 19 and 21 million people died in Ukraine from 1914 to 1959, the Encyclopedia of Ukraine says - about half the population.
A family suffers
During the famine, starvation first claimed Nick's grandfather, then his grandmother. His older brother George - whom Nick never knew - did not live to
see his first birthday.
"My mom was weak," he says. "She couldn't breast-feed."
His mother, father and 2-year-old sister survived because they lived a half-mile from a vacation retreat for Communist leaders. A Ukrainian woman who
worked there brought them what food she could.
The worst of the famine eased by 1934, but food supplies remained spotty.
Nicholas and his twin, named George after the baby who died, were born on Dec. 23 of that year. That George also died of malnutrition.
Nick's parents had two more children while still in Ukraine, a son in 1937 and a daughter two years later.
World War II would bring more hardships. Nick's parents left Ukraine in 1943, when Nick was 9, to avoid the worst. They drifted among refugee camps in Austria and
added yet another child to the family.
After four years as refugees, they moved to Brazil to work on coffee plantations. Nick's youngest brother was born there in 1949.
'It never goes away'
Brazil provided Nick, at age 13, his first-ever chance to live in a place without violence and oppression.
His past, however, stayed with him.
"Of course it reflects on your later life," he says. "You still have those nightmares, seeing all those dead people and animals.
"It never goes away, but you keep that in the distance and try to do your best with what you've got."
One more tragedy occurred in Brazil. His father died in a traffic accident when Nick was 18.
By age 24, Nick was engaged to Valentina, whose Ukrainian family had also come to Brazil. The young couple moved to Chicago to get married.
He served two years in the U.S. military. In planning for his future, he faced a problem: The war years had robbed him of an education.
So he went back to school.
"I worked 16 hours a day and went to school at night," he says.
During those years, the couple had three children: Elizabeth, Tony and Katya.
Nick became an engineer, developing movie cameras for Bell & Howell and cellular phones for Motorola. He earned 50 U.S. patents.
In 1991, when Ukraine became independent, Nick - along with his wife and one of his daughters - returned for the first time since he was a child.
"There were some sad moments and happy moments," Nick says.
Relatives came from all over Ukraine, as well as from Moscow and Latvia, to meet them.
Nick was disappointed, though, to see the conditions. His relatives had no indoor plumbing; they were still using outhouses. The village had only one phone, which didn't
In the 1990s, Motorola began trying to open new markets in, among other places, Ukraine. Because of his language and cultural fluency, they sent him on business trips
to his homeland.
Eyeing the ballots
Years later, Nick would return to Ukraine - in a very different role.
Over the years, he remained active in the Ukrainian community. He serves as president of the Ukrainian Genocide Famine Foundation-USA Inc.
He also
serves on the board of directors of the Chicago chapter of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America.
Last year, a local Ukrainian radio program informed listeners of the opportunity to serve as international poll watchers for Ukraine's election, and he signed up.
With other members of the UCCA, he flew to Kiev on Dec. 21 - two days before his 70th birthday.
After receiving training, he was assigned to a polling place in his native Poltava region for the Dec. 26 election. In past elections, parties had bribed voters and many cast
ballots multiple times or in multiple precincts.
"When I walked into polling places, they'd get a little uneasy," Nick says. "There was a lot less fraud this time."
Though he got caught up in the enthusiasm of the pro-democracy Yuschenko backers, he maintained neutrality inside the polling place.
On Election Day, Yuschenko won, thrilling supporters across the world.
Even though Ukraine officially became independent of the Soviet Union in 1991, Yuschenko's victory signaled a significant move toward real independence.
"Ukraine became independent almost 14 years ago, but all the communist leaders in charge before independence have remained in charge, still doing what they did
before," Nick says.
For Nick, the victory was sweet.
Unlike his children and grandchildren, he felt firsthand the oppression and hunger of the past.
"Sometimes I'm angry, but I'm not angry to the point of revenge," he says. "I think we should fix this by civilized means.
"I feel people should have a choice, not by guns or starvation, but a free choice," he says.
Now that they have that choice, time will tell whether future Ukrainian Americans will feel the same urgency to teach their children the language and culture.
"They may or may not," he says. "We strongly believe in roots."
Maybe one day, then, his granddaughter will teach Ukrainian dance like her mother does - and her children too will learn the language of their ancestors.
Hope is a Viktor
On Jan. 23, when Viktor Yuschenko was inaugurated as president in Kiev, about 40 Ukrainian Americans gathered at Palatine's Ukrainian CYM center to watch the
ceremony on television and celebrate.
They were especially proud when they saw Yuschenko's wife, Kateryna Chumachenko, at his side. She grew up in Mount Prospect and many say she used to come to
the Palatine center as a youth.
Now she's the first lady of the newly recharged homeland.
"We really believe in the future of the country," said Jaroslav Gorobiski, 36, who was born in Ukraine and attended the celebration.
Roman Holowka also joined the group.
"It was a joyous occasion, a happy time," he says. "This is what we've been waiting for for a long time."
For Nick Mischenko, the wait stretched on for 70 years. It felt right that he should be at the polls, serving the goal of Ukrainian independence, when the time came.
"I'm proud of myself that I did this," he says. "It was a chance to play a role in history."

Your Network: An Asset or Liability?
September 18, 2014
The recent breaches at major retailers show that a network and Internet connectivity is not only an asset for an organization, but can also be a liability. To be more specific, a network that provides services to unauthorized parties is a liability to an organization. Continuing from my post from earlier this week, using a next generation firewall as a gateway between segments increases the visibility of network traffic patterns. The visibility will likely highlight traffic patterns that, at the minimum, are questionable, and at worst indicate malicious traffic trying to enter or leave the network.
The solution to the problem of unauthorized traffic on the network has recently been labeled the Zero Trust Model by industry analyst firm Forrester Research. The Zero Trust Model changes the old security mantra "Trust, but verify," to "Verify, but never trust." In practical terms, the Zero Trust Model means that all traffic is verified for content, access, authorization and accounting for that traffic. Or more simply stated, only pre-approved traffic based on business need is allowed to traverse the network. A relevant example of this is point-of-sale (POS) systems; do POS systems need access to the Internet? Perhaps they do, but it is highly unlikely that the POS systems need access to Russia. Expanding on that, if your organization does not do business in Russia, nothing internally needs access to Russia.
The Zero Trust Model and a next generation firewall are a perfect fit with features like application identification, user identification and threat prevention, which allows for the inspection and validation of all traffic traversing the network. Combing the Zero Trust Model and a next generation firewall allows organizations to move to a positive enforcement model where all traffic has been pre-validated based on the needs of the business. In addition, the traffic is inspected for malicious activity.
So, what can be done to prevent these breaches and stop the next leak of credit cards? A part of the solution is to change the mindset of network design and architect professionals. A network cannot just provide unrestricted access in today's environment. The network must be secure to truly be an asset to the organization, and a network that has security bolted on as an afterthought is a liability to the organization. It's not a question of if, but when it will be highlighted in the next headline.
Migrating from a flat network, to a VLAN segmented network, to a network that is divided by a next generation firewall and a positive enforcement and Zero Trust Model is not an easy effort. It's best to start with smaller segments, creating quick wins for the new model and way of thinking. Once a proven methodology and track record of successful migration to the new model has been established, the critical assets are next. This is crucial to limiting the exposure and turning the network into a true business asset.
Organizations spend millions of dollars on their networks in order to support business functions, and these investments hit the balance sheet as assets. However, unless security is the center of the network design, the network is a liability to the organization, and the true asset of the network along with the information residing on the network, will be compromised. Proper segmentation and network design will be one of the key components in fighting the criminals, instead of working for the criminals.
Expanding upon the segmentation, my next blog entry will address the topic of orchestration and micro segmentation.

22: Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind. Retold by Mary Pope Osborne | Once there was a man named Davy Crockett who was sleeping and his head got stuck in the crotch of the tree. Davy screamed and hollered as loud as he could until a young lady came. That young lady was known as Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind. He soon fell in love with her because of the wonderful stories people told about her. One of Sally Ann's good friends told about a time when Sally had a confrontation with a bear. Sally soon whipped the bear off his feet and they started to dance. These kind of stories made Davy fall even more in love with her, until he finally asked Sally Ann if she wanted to be his wife and she said yes! | Summary
23: Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind and Davy Crockett had a very special love together. I feel that I too have a very special bond with people, especially my family members. Maybe I don't have quite the relationship that Sally Ann and Davy had but my family and I love each other very much and we are also very close. My family and I would do anything for each other because having a loving relationship with each other is the most important thing. I feel that "love" is one of the most important cultural values because that shows people how you really feel about them being in your life. I also think that Sally Ann and Davy's relationship shows "love" perfectly. | Reflection

IPO market rebounds in third quarter, and more deals are in the pipeline
All of a sudden, there's a queue for IPOs. While few observers were paying attention, and the IPO market was assumed to be all but dead, the line was forming and growing.
The IPO pipeline increased to 34 registrants seeking to raise $10.9 billion as of Sept. 30, up from 28 registrants seeking to raise $7.6 billion at the end of June, according to Ernst & Young LLP's quarterly U.S. IPO Pipeline study.
"Patience and preparation are paying off. This rebound of activity rivals the number of new registrants a year ago, which gives the total pipeline a bounce even as many companies go public," said Maria Pinelli, Ernst & Young's Americas Director, Strategic Growth Markets, in a prepared statement.
The new registrants represent the largest deals in over a year. In total, they seek to raise $11.353 billion of capital, an average of $378.8 million per company. Most significantly, meat processor JBS USA Holdings, Inc. intends to raise $2 billion. The Shanda Games Limited (GAME) IPO raised $1.04 billion in the third quarter, making it the largest U.S. IPO to date this year.
According to Hoover's IPO Scorecard, the number of U.S. initial public offerings increased 240 percent year-over year for the third quarter. This marks the first triple-digit percentage increase in U.S. IPOs since 2004. Seventeen companies went public in the third quarter on the major U.S. exchanges, raising $5.5 billion, compared to the same period last year, when just five companies went public, raising $917 million.
What's driving the uptick? "A combination of strong pent-up deal flow and rebounding capital markets and rebounding economy," said Jeffrey Goldberger, managing partner at KCSA, an investor relations firm in New York. When the markets fell apart, the IPO market came to an almost complete standstill. Numerous companies were poised to float IPOs, but demand from institutional investors dried up.
Successful IPOs by household names such as language-learning software provider Rosetta Stone (RST) and OpenTable, Inc. (OPEN), which takes online reservations for restaurants, raised eyebrows.
Generally, investors, underwriters and IPO hopefuls are seeing more predictability than they were six months to a year ago, explained Tim Walker, who leads Hoover's quarterly IPO analysis.
If the economy stays stable, there will likely be more volume, in terms of both the number of deals, and the average amount of money of each deal. "If the economy slides for any reason, all bets are off," said Walker.
According to Jeremy Swan, a director at Protiviti Inc., and a member of its Private Equity and Public Company Readiness practices, the question is: "Is this a window of opportunity that could close at any time, or is it sustainable? It remains to be seen."
It's hard to know what the uptick will mean in the long-term, but in the short-term, it's a shot in the arm for the investment community, said Goldberger.
The increased activity is a win-win. "Investors are coming back to play," contended Daniel Seiner, managing director at investment banking firm Ladenburg Thalmann. "Companies need capital because the lending markets shut down for some time. All this is good dynamics for the IPO market."
The identities of the players are interesting, too. Emerging markets like Brazil and China are in the mix, as are companies that vary in size, geography and industry. For example, IPO filings from Oct. 9 to Oct. 21 included companies involved in firearms, an investment bank, a manufacturer of generators and a producer of tissue products.The deals are larger, in part because institutional investors in this environment are more comfortable investing mature companies that have stories, existing businesses and strong management teams -- companies that are sustainable. As the economy strengthens, smaller companies and smaller deals will get in on the action too.
"The next tier might also include more technology and companies with growth stories," said Howard Ross, a partner at private equity firm L.L.R. Partners.
There's an expectation that there will be more IPOs from companies currently owned by private-equity shops. Market conditions the past couple of years haven't favorable for private-equity firms to cash out on their investments, because they couldn't expect to reap a good return through either IPOs or M&A activity.
What's the significance of all this? "The rebound is unusual in that it is happening relatively promptly following a near collapse of the economy," said Marc Rossell, a partner at the law firm of Chadbourne & Parke who specializes in capital markets.
And, the good news is -- investors are buying. Said Seiner: "Companies have digested the new reality of the capital markets. The last 18 months, companies saw decreases in their operations and they said to themselves that they wouldn't issue equity because of the financial crisis.They were going to wait for it to be over. But they realize this is a new reality. You have to be realistic about pricing. Investors and issuers are finding common ground for issuing equity. They are finding a happy medium."

The underlying geological prospectivity of Rimfire's tenement package is in part due to the presence and coalescence of major deep crustal scale structural trends; the Lachlan Transverse Zone (LTZ) and the Platina-Tresylva trend, which parallels the mineralised Gilmore Suture, within an interpreted Siluro-Devonian Rift Basin. The rift basin setting occurs in the back-arc to the World Class Macquarie Arc which hosts Newcrest's Super Giant Cadia Valley Operations, and the World Class North Parkes porphyry systems, along with many other deposits including the McPhillamy's deposit (REGIS).
The Fifield rift basin arguably overlies a terrain boundary between lower and upper Ordovician rocks and provides the backdrop for what appears to be carbonate base metal epithermal Au/Ag style mineralisation encountered to date at Sorpresa. The system is somewhat unique in geological terms. Metal zonation across a large km scale is evidenced with diversity in deposit styles likely.
Rimfire has also revealed geological evidence for an additional target style at Fifield possibly akin to the high grade Tritton Cu Mine to the north. Similar stratigraphic and alteration assemblages have been observed at Fifield, particularly at the new Carlisle and Eclipse trend regional targets. The Tritton deposit is considered a Besshi style Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Cu-Au deposit, which is a very attractive target style for Rimfire.
Modern day systematic exploration techniques applied by Rimfire has quickly resulted in the greenfields discovery of the Sorpresa Au/Ag Deposit. Given the lack of cover across the region, generally less than 10m, quick, simple and inexpensive exploration techniques such as rock chip, soil and auger geochemical sampling and shallow RAB and RC drilling generate targets. Broader application of these techniques on systematic grids, coupled with geophysical surveys such as aeromagnetics, gravity, and induced polarization (I.P.) has generated a significant pipeline of more than 30 exploration targets, (prospect pyramid) at various stages of assessment for drill testing.

Beginners and experts, young and old, are welcome to test their horse's skills at D & D Stables Ranch Sorting events. Ranch Sorting is good training and exercise for you and your horse. This popular sport will improve your horse's performance, cow sense and overall well-being. You too will be challenged to read the cows, cut-out your number and keep the herd under control.
Practice Ranch Sorting every Friday night starting at 6:30PM.
D & D Stables is a offical producer for the Ranch Sorting Nationial Championships - RSNC
Ranch Sorting is rapidly becoming the #1 Equine Family Sport as an event the entire family can participate in.
Ranch Sorting is a team of two riders, 60 seconds and eleven head of cattle that are numbered from 0 through 9 with one additional cow left unnumbered. The contest is performed in two pens with an opening between them. As the riders cross through the opening between the pens, they are given a number and the time begins. Their job is to sort the cattle in numerical order, starting with the assigned number, into the opposite pen. The fastest time on the most head correctly sorted wins.

Hi Paul, Similarly, I was surprised by what is stated for Issue-194 full-transcript attribute : Allow the A11y TF the authority to produce an extension spec that includes full-transcript. If such a specification obtains consensus and meets the proposed CR exit criteria by 2014Q2 it could be folded back into the core HTML spec at that time. We already have two change proposals for this issue that both came out of the a11y TF. I was under impression that the next step was a decision by the chairs.

Okay, lets think of a scenario. You're getting married and you can choose it to be anywhere (real or imaginary) and you have an unlimited budget - where do you choose?
I've been thinking about this and I've come up with a million and one ideas - but one has stuck in my head.
I would love a woodsy wedding - whether it be in a forest, rainforest, national park or whatever. If there was a church in the middle of that, that would be my ultimate wedding destination.
Of course, somewhere within my dream wedding plan, I'd probably have to hire the sun to make sure it was the perfect day.
Even a twilight reception in a forest would be stunning. I love the idea of the lanterns giving a magic golden glow.
Being a photographer further propels this love as well. I love taking portraits and I love product work, but nature photography is where a lot of my passion lies. I wish I could capture all of the beauty I see, but I try my best to capture what I can.
So tell me, your dream wedding - regardless of budget, location or reality. What does it look like?

"From the daringly innovative to the reassuringly good, Designs of the Year 2014 is a condensed and vivid selection of the last twelve months in design," said Curator of Designs of the Year Gemma Curtin. "This spectrum of expert-chosen design is an insight into what design can do for us both as individuals and as a society."
Penned by a team led by Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design for the Volkswagen brand, the XL1 is a limited series production two-seater car that explores the limits of energy efficiency for a road-legal production vehicle, said VW. It was nominated for the exhibition by author and automotive design and technology expert, Andrew Nahum.
VW explained the design brief for the XL1 was to produce a 'one liter' car – that is to say, a car that uses one liter of fuel per 100 km, equivalent to 282 miles per imperial gallon. The resulting vehicle uses just 0.9 liters per 100 km, or 313 imp. mpg.
Members of the public can also have their say on Designs of the Year in the Visitor Vote, which allows visitors to the Design Museum to pick their favorite design from the exhibition.
New for 2014 is the Social Vote which sees two nominations fight it out each day through the exhibition's online Social Vote platform. Broadcast to over one million of the Design Museum's Twitter and Facebook followers, the Social Vote allows people from all over the world to participate in Designs of the Year.

Recent articles in FastCompany and AdAge have highlighted some interesting innovations and trends in the retail sector that could also impact sports delivery.
Starbucks has had a go at re imagining the rules for building coffee outlets. It's designed its new concept store to be a work of art, and deliverable on a truck. The big idea is to find ways to build scale while still being locally relevant. This is the same challenge that the sports sector faces, to drive national scale while reflecting local needs. However I suspect the sports sector has yet to see this as a designer's problem to solve like Starbucks do?!
Meanwhile some American retailers are working towards a concept of the "omni-channel". This sounds impressive, but its really just looking at channel strategy from the customer's perspective. Customers don't categorise their relationship into bricks and mortar, franchise outlets, call centres and online. They just want to browse, buy and collect a brand's products in whichever way is most convenient to them at that time. So the big idea with the "omni-channel is that the business re-engineers itself around delivering a consistent customer experience across all its channels. This breaks down silos internally and helps reinforce brand values externally.
Of course behind the scenes neither of these trends are easy to deliver on, in retail or in sport. Achieving scale while being locally relevant requires constantly searching for local needs that are common across the market. Local customisation can then be kept to a minimum and focused on areas of high impact to customers & partners. Likewise delivering a consistent and seamlessly connected customer experience across all touch points will require a whole new way of working and information sharing, both across the business and out through the network of partners.
So will the pain be worth it? Well organic growth comes from engaging more customers more often, and improving the customer experience is a critical part of achieving that. So whether its thorough visible delivery innovations or business model innovations the customer never sees, organisations will need to adopt these principles or risk losing out on the growth they will generate.

Natural Weight Loss: Add to Your Diet and Add Years to Your Life
As I was saying in my past articles, others have added years back to there life with a few added ingredients. They also added energy and youth. They say you should take care of your body from a young age. But for those of us that didn't, it's not too late.
People all over the world are adding years to there life, that they wouldn't have without a change. And you would be surprised how easy it is to lose weight, add energy and feel better about yourself. Just add some things to your diet. We had already touched on Apple cider vinegar and found that it had awesome results. Today I want you to look at the benefits of Ginger.
Ginger is the rhizome of the perennial herb Zingiber Officionale found in the Southwest coast of India and the Malabar Coast. Ginger was always known as a medicinal plant and a spice in India and China for thousands of years. Ginger has been used by many as a remedy for the common cold. Additionally, it has also been used as an effective analgesic, anti-pyretic, anti-viral, in the treatment of hypertension, and in the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Other benefits of ginger include its ability to cleanse the colon, reduce spasms and cramps, stimulate circulation, and aid metabolism. Many have used it to treat colitis, nausea, gas, indigestion, bowel disorders, morning sickness, motion sickness, vomiting, congestion, fever, and headaches. Asian medicine still uses it as a treatment for asthma, shortness of breath, water retention, earache, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Homeopathic practitioners even recommend it for sexual disorders. An added benefit to Ginger is that it is a strong antioxidant and effective microbial agent for sores and wounds.
How does Ginger work in the digestive system? It helps protect the gastric system by increasing the pH of stomach acid, reducing its acidity, thereby lower the rate of gastric secretions, and increasing digestive enzyme activity. Rather than blocking the feelings of nausea in the brain, it acts directly on the stomach and liver to reduce nausea and vomiting.
By providing you with a clear head and by working as a metabolism aid, Ginger Root is the perfect compliment to any diet plan. At prescribed dosage levels, Ginger Root has no recorded problems of known significance. No drug interactions have been reported as well.

Never Let Me Go trailer

Robert Downey Jr in Oz prequel
Deadline are reporting that Robert Downey Jr has joined the cast for the Oz prequel , along with Sam Raimi being confirmed as the director of the piece. Thankfully, this means World Of Warcraft is on hold…

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican is urging Buddhists to work with Christians to combat corruption, saying corrupt political, business and religious leaders put lives at risk, damage the environment and threaten governance.
The Vatican's interreligious dialogue office issued a message to Buddhists to mark the holiday of Vesak, which is celebrated at different times around Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
In the message published Wednesday, the Vatican said the "evil" of corruption cannot be met with silence, and urged Buddhists and Christians to work with media and civil society to expose corruption and hold white-collar criminals accountable. It said: "People are scandalized by incompetent and corrupt politicians, ineffective legislation and the failure to investigate major corruption cases."

You want to add a little personalization and uniqueness to your yard when it comes to adding a garden to your Minneapolis home. But you shouldn't have to worry about not being able to get something out of the cost of improving your yard when the time comes to sell it. This is why choosing to add a little more to the landscaping can up the value, while also making the home stand out from all the rest on the block. As the winter moves in, this is the perfect time to spend thinking about the landscaping you'd like to have done in your front and back yard during the spring.
Tips on Enhancing the Garden
- Add a little bit more nature to the garden using human-sized stone statues. You want to make it a bit more personable as well, so make sure it is of something that says something about you and your home.
- Create semi-open areas throughout the garden where you're able to get away if you want, or sit in the bright sunlight out in the open. With the right landscape design, you're also able to share these spots with friends and family while enjoying the beauty around you.
- Use artificial lighting in a water feature somewhere around the yard. This creates a unique piece that is going to be talked about a lot.
- Oriental landscape lighting is becoming very popular. When it comes to using Japanese lanterns, opt for the ones made of stone for the garden. This gives a nice contrast compared to the smooth beauty that they are around.
- Add a small pond that can flow throughout the back and front yards that you can follow. This provides a way for you to connect not only the front to the back, but the other way around and gives a nice walk way. You can then add small extras for wildlife and your pets to enjoy as well.
- Add plants and trees with flowers that give off a fragrance. This is a perfect way to add a little aroma into the air while outside.
- Create a multi-level garden to give your backyard a bit more personality. This also distinguishes the various areas from one another.
Does increasing the enjoyment you find in your yard while upping your home's value appeal to you? Get a hold of Architectural Landscape Design today. We can design a plan for your yard that will have all of these – and much more – put into the landscape of your home with fire, water, and other features once the spring hits. Start planning now and have it done to enjoy throughout the summer months when you entertain your family and friends.

The Silver Tsunami — a Good News/Bad News Story
It is an indisputable fact – we are living longer. In the revolutionary times, the average life expectancy was only 35 years. Today, the baby boomer generation has added over 40 years to that number. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists life expectancy at 78.7 years with seniors being the fastest growing population in the world.
This shift in aging trends brings with it significant challenges. As a culture, we must reevaluate housing, social security, health care and employment largely because we are living longer. Consider some of the national issues associated with the graying of America.
The Senior Boom
The increase in the elderly population is not limited to the United States – it is a worldwide phenomenon, but why are people living longer? The most logical answer is the advance in medical science. Back in the 1700s, epidemics wiped out entire towns, and many women died giving birth. Add to that an increase in occupational safety and better diets; it is not hard to see why life expectancy is growing.
The Administration on Aging predicts by the year 2050, 2 billion Americans will be over the age of 60 – outnumbering children for the first time in history.
The Silver Tsunami
So, what are all these older people doing with their time? Many are continuing to work. The CDC predicts that by 2020, 25 percent of the labor pool will be over the age of 55 – 15 years ago, that number was just 13 percent. Currently, 16.7 percent of people over the age of 65 continue to work.
The repercussions of an aging workforce will undoubtedly be a shortage of skilled labor. More and more people staying on the job longer mean that they will all retire right around the same time. This Silver Tsunami brings fewer jobs for younger candidates. Taxation of young workers is the heart of the social security system. With a diminished entry-level workforce, that system takes a hit.
Aging and Healthcare
A growing senior population increases the need for geriatric care, as well. Older adults deal with chronic disease such as diabetes and high blood pressure. The healthcare industry can expect a surge in the need for geriatricians, nurses and physical therapists. Seniors increase the demand for medications, as well.
It's a Good News/Bad News Saga
While it is true that a growing senior population may have a negative effect on the workforce and healthcare, it is hard to see living longer as a bad thing. This flux in life expectancy means that people are paying more attention to their health. Older age structures reflect an improvement in infant mortality rates and health care in general.
Aging is only a problem if society fails to meet the needs of the culture. The nation will go through some adjustments, and society will develop new policies. This growth is the plus side of the Silver Tsunami, because nothing forces change as much as the need to adapt. As the baby boomer generation turns gray, senior advocacy groups such as AARP will help shape the political process to improve the quality of life for people of all ages.

Google+ game: Pettington Park review, walkthrough and how to play tips
Read about the game Pettington Park and know what all is in this game. Go through the walkthrough of Pettington Park and know to play this game. Read the pros and cons of Pettington Park and the review of the game
Pros and cons of Pettington Park game
What I liked in Pettington Park
I liked the whole concept of the game. The graphics mixed up with different concept is making this game to stand apart from the crowd. The detailing which we are getting in the game with so good social connectivity is making this game a lot good.
Where it is lagging
Game is lagging in storyline up. I mean some time the story goes so confusing and it looks very unnecessary. The demand of inviting the friends to play the game is also very annoying at certain movements. The total level difficulty can be enhanced more.
Ratings for Pettington Park game
The game fairly does well in our review. The game deserves a score of 8 out of 10 in our review.
About the game Pettington Park on Google plus
Google is less talked topic now because there are so many social sites which are available in the market now. Facebook is still the lion of the forest. A game named as Pettington Park is in the Google+ and it is very interesting game. There is story line up too. You have to fight against the cat or dog. The developer of this game is Zynga games which are very famous among the making of the social games. Let's discuss more about these games.
Gameplay of Pettington Park game
The plot of Pettington Park game is very simple but the storyline can confuse you. I mean to say that the characters in this game have their own back story. The game is all about cat and dog. So when you first start the game, the first choice which is kept in front of you is that on which side you are. There is a dog side that means you will fight for the dogs and if you are on the cat sides then you will for the cats. You have to develop the infrastructure to kill your enemies. Like you are given a plot of land and then you have to develop this land. In this land you have to remove the grasses and make different structure. You will have to roam around the world to get different things that will help you to eliminate the enemies faster. One of the factors which are closely associated with Pettington Park is that you will need lot of friends of yours to play this game. I mean at every instance the game would ask you to connect to your friends. So in this way you are going to need lot of friends. So this may go little out of control when you are frustrated with inviting your friends. But on the other hand Pettington Park game is pretty cool. If you don't want to invite your friends then you have to spend the real money to buy the points.
How Pettington Park is different from other game
The game can be said different from other game in the sense that it has a total different platform. You have different storyline in front of you. So we can say the total setup accompanied by the total storyline up let's you say it is different game. The characters are also well. So we are in the position to say that we are getting a
total new game.
What about the user interface of Pettington Park
The user interface of the game has been given proper justice. I mean there is no blackout in front of the game. The detailing of the characters, screen, and menu are all very well crafted. The total graphics of the game also come very nice and the total appearance of the objects are also very and sober.

5-0 is ludicrous, this is the best side we have taken in there in ages regardless of injuries, and we've always managed to avoid a whitewash in the past. There's no way whatsoever we'll lose 5-0, we're far too good.
