New Mexico Tech hosts Fulbright Scholar from Poland
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., June 11, 2007 – New Mexico Tech currently is hosting a Fulbright Visiting Scholar from Poland who chose to come to the state-supported research university in Socorro primarily because one of the school's hydrology professors is an internationally recognized expert in modified zeolite properties and applications.
Jolanta Warchol, an assistant professor at Rzeszów University of Technology whose doctoral dissertation focused on using zeolites to purify water, has been long familiar with New Mexico Tech hydrology professor Rob Bowman's research work in using surface-modified zeolites to filter out toxic contaminants in water.
So when the opportunity arose to be able to team up with the zeolite expert in Socorro, Warchol didn't hesitate to specify New Mexico Tech as her university of choice in her Fulbright proposal.
"My working alongside an interdisciplinary research team at New Mexico Tech, which includes Rob Bowman and Steve Schaffer, a mathematics professor, has allowed me to widen my knowledge in the field of sorption process research, especially with regard to the preparation, characterization and appplication of surface-modified zeolitic materials," Warchol said.
Zeolites are a class of more than 200 natural and manmade minerals possessing a highly regular structure of pores and chambers that form "molecular sieves" which allow some molecules to pass through, and cause others to be either trapped or broken down on the irregular surfaces.
During her five-month stay at New Mexico Tech, Warchol has studied how modified zeolites can be used in the sorption of inorganic, negatively charged particles.
She also has been focusing this spring on developing mathematical models to further study the mechanisms involved in this high-tech water filtering system.
"There are also a lot of practical applications of this research work beyond providing safe drinking water, which is a worldwide concern," Warchol said. "I'm hoping I can return to Poland and apply for funding from the Polish government and the European Union to expand my research into these other areas."
Warchol also hopes her Fulbright-funded stay at New Mexico Tech will also eventually result in setting up a student and faculty exchange program between Tech and her home institution back in Poland.
"The Fulbright program encourages long-term cooperation among host universities and visiting researchers, and I feel that our common research projects can only benefit from this type of international collaboration," she said.
Natural zeolite minerals typically form where volcanic rocks and layers of ash react with alkaline groundwater, and are often commercially mined to be used in gardening applications and the concrete industry.
In addition, modified zeolites, which at about 25 cents a pound are still relatively inexpensive, are now being widely used in chemical separations, water purification, soil treatment, detergent manufacturing, and oxygen-generation systems.
With several zeolite-mining operation in place throughout the state, such as the St. Cloud Mine near Winston in northwest Sierra County, New Mexico is the major producer of natural zeolite in North America.
The Fulbright Visiting Scholars Program, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, provides funding for about 800 foreign faculty and professionals to visit the United States each year to teach and do research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields.
Warchol is one of only 14 scholars from Poland who were chosen to participate in the international educational exchange program this year.

Dmitry Kandalov explains what coroutines are, how they differ between programming languages and how to use coroutines for fun and profit.
A service mesh is only meant to be used as infrastructure for communication between services, and developers should not be building any business logic inside the service mesh. Other frameworks and libraries can be used to implement cloud native enterprise application integration patterns.
Marios Michailidis shares their approach on automating ML using H2O's Driverless AI. Driverless AI employs the techniques of expert data scientists in an easy-to-use application that helps scale data science efforts; empowers data scientists to work on projects faster using automation and state-of-the-art computing power from GPUs to accomplish tasks in minutes that used to take months.
Gitte Klitgaard tells a story of learning and growth, of psychological safety, and the importance of feeling included, a story of how to work and how to create a basis for growth.
In this article, we discuss one of the most challenging and unexplored areas in service mesh architecture; supporting event-driven messaging. There are two main architectural patterns that we discuss here: the protocol proxy sidecar, and the HTTP bridge sidecar. Regardless of the pattern that is used, the sidecar can facilitate features such as observability, throttling, tracing etc.

Minnesota has received approval from the federal government to direct $58 million over four years into services meant to help senior citizens and people with disabilities in their homes.
The Department of Human Services announced the federal approval Wednesday. It's part of a bipartisan initiative to help more Minnesotans who rely on Medicaid to move away from costly institutional care.
Additional money will benefit support services for people with disabilities in job searches. Also newly funded is one-on-one support for seniors, people with disabilities and their family members as they make decisions about long-term care services.
Home and community-based care organizations will get a boost in reimbursement rates, and funding will be provided to consolidate 160 separate phone services into one hotline for reporting abuse of seniors and vulnerable adults.

Atlanta detectives have arrested one suspect and are looking for a second in connection with the shooting of a Morehouse College student over the weekend. The Friday shooting apparently began as "a fight over a pickup basketball game" at Morehouse's Samuel Archer Hall, reports WSB and CBS Atlanta.
Twenty-two-year-old Clark Atlanta University student Amir Obafemi was arrested Saturday. Obafemi has been charged with felony aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon.
[Morehouse Police Chief Vernon Worthy]said the shooting stemmed from an argument outside after a pick-up basketball game at the gym. He said the shooter brandished a weapon, and the victim made it just inside the building before he was shot in the forearm. The victim, later identified as Cornileus Savage, was taken to Grady Hospital, and is conscious and alert, according to Atlanta police.
There was another violent crime on the Morehouse campus over the weekend, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Around 130pm Saturday, the Atlanta Police Department said a Morehouse student's iPhone was snatched from his hand and when he chased the robber several of the suspect's "associates" attacked the student. "They roughed him up and then fled the scene," APD spokesman Gregory Lyon said. He said the student suffered cuts and bruises and was transported to the hospital.
The Morehouse shooting was the second high-profile shooting in Atlanta last week. "A 14-year-old was wounded on Thursday in a shooting outside a middle school and police said another student was arrested," reports Reuters.
The 143-year-old all-male Morehouse College is one of the nation's most prestigious historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). The college boasts famous alumni and "Morehouse men" such as civil rights icons Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Julian Bond, filmmaker Spike Lee and actor Samuel L. Jackson.
Dr. John Silvanus Wilson is the new president of Morehouse. In January he spoke to National Public Radio about the challenges facing the historic college. Listen HERE.

Recycled Desktop Organizer
Ideally, I needed something with a good number of sections to keep items separated and organized. Having my frequently used tools close at hand would be my goal. It was becoming increasingly frustrating to have to dig through drawers to find the right tools for each project.
Recycling cans to organize tools is an excellent idea and nothing new, but this method hasn't always been practical for my needs. The cans would become top heavy when fully loaded and topple over. This became frustrating and would eventually lead to the abandonment of the cans-used-as-an-organizer idea.
Then the concept of using magnets to secure the cans came to mind. This would surely solve the toppling over problem. The cans would sit securely on the lazy Susan and remain upright as they spun around. If I needed to transport the items contained in a single can to another work space, I could easily pull it away and take it to where it was needed. This would be very practical because the entire organizer would not have to be moved along with it. When I was done, the can would easily and securely slip back into place. Perfect. I wouldn't even have to glue the magnets to the cans if I didn't want to. When the organizer was no longer practical for my needs, I could toss the cans and reuse the magnets on other projects.
Here is my organizer in all it's recycled glory. Placing the cans in a flower-like configuration works great and fits well on the lazy Susan. A few paper flowers and a few other adornments and I was good to go. Quick and easy. Inexpensive to make. A bit of recycling involved. Functional. This is working out great and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
I used a Stampin' Up stamp set called Playful Petals to create the flowers.
I placed 3 magnets on each of the cans that sit around the perimeter. This provides a secure connection and keeps the cans from toppling over.
The center can (pink) does not require magnets as the cans on the perimeter all "kiss" up to it. I could easily say something about that, but I'll keep my comments to myself.
I realize that this may not be a practical organizational option for everyone but it works great for my needs. Well, at least for the time being anyway.
Have a fabulous day!

Perfecto! You sure have genius, Lettie. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. I'm curious where the little "white lacy bottom edging" on the cans comes from... or is that cut shelf paper or something? Wish I had the space to set one of these up, but perhaps I can learn from you and make a vertical version and hang on my wall.
Thanks 4 the inspiration!

Clever and pretty besides!
I thought you were going to glue the magnets to the lazy susan and have the cans stand on top of the magnets, but couldn't figure out how to stabilize them. Duh. That's why you have all these cute practical ideas and I don't! LOL

Nadal wins in Barcelona Open struggle; Ferrer ousted
Second-seeded David Ferrer was ousted from the Barcelona Open by a Russian opponent for the second straight year and defending champion Rafael Nadal labored to victory on Wednesday.
Ferrer was unable to find his rhythm in losing 6-4, 6-2 to Teymuraz Gabashvili in his opening match while Nadal struggled past fellow Spanish player Albert Ramos 7-6 (2), 6-4.
Nadal eventually overcame his 103rd-ranked opponent to reach the third round, rebounding from a surprise loss to Ferrer in the Monte Carlo Masters quarterfinals.
"After losing in the Monte Carlo, I wanted to raise my game here," Nadal said. "It just took a while."
Eight-time winner Nadal was made to work against the stubborn Ramos, who broke back in the 11th game to force the first-set tiebreaker. Nadal eventually came out on the winning end of a long rally of baseline shots for a 4-2 lead as he went on to take the set.
Nadal was steadier after that but still could not shake Ramos. He sealed it after a quick talk with the tournament doctor by breaking his fellow left-hander to win the match.
"I had to accept that I was going to be made to work today, that I was not playing at my best level," Nadal said. "But I got through it."
Nadal will face Ivan Dodig next after the Croatian dismissed Feliciano Lopez of Spain 6-1, 6-4.
Ferrer, meanwhile, will not be facing Nadal in the final for a fifth time after the 55th-ranked Gabashvili dominated Ferrer on his favored clay to reach the last 16.
Gabashvili kept Ferrer running to the corners, and the fifth-ranked Spaniard was surprisingly unable to keep up with shots he normally returns, looking fatigued at times.
Ferrer netted to give his opponent a triple set-point opportunity to close out the first frame, which Gabashvili did by smashing a crosscourt forehand Ferrer couldn't handle.
Gabashvili maintained his play from the start of the second set to race to 3-0 when Ferrer skied his return high and into the crowd. Ferrer, who lost at this same stage last season to Dmitry Tursunov, slapped a crosscourt forehand long for Gabashvili to clinch it.
"Three weeks ago, I lost to Ferrer in Miami but I dominated that first set. Today, I wanted to maintain my energy and keep it going, which I did for (90) minutes, but any more and it might have been tougher to win," Gabashvili said after winning for the first time on the third try against Ferrer.
Ferrer wasn't the only significant player to exit early as third-seeded Fabio Fognini retired to injury while losing 6-0, 4-0 to Santiago Giraldo of Colombia. Eighth-seeded Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine was also ousted by Spanish player Albert Montanes 7-6 (5), 6-3.
Other second-round winners included sixth-seeded Nicolas Almagro and fellow Spaniard Albert Montanes.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The Georgia College & State University soccer team (13-3-4) is still pulling in accolades from another outstanding season, as today (Dec. 10) the program landed its first players on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas All-Southeast Region team.
Senior forward Hayley Ferrell (Hampton, Ga.) and junior defender Morgan Cobb (Cataula, Ga.) both earned spots on the third team.
The first all-region honor for Ferrell caps an amazing career for the school's all-time leading scorer. She had 10 goals and six assists for 26 points this season, leading the Bobcats in all three categories. Ferrell also was first in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) in game-winning goals with five. She remains the school's only three-time All-PBC honoree.
Cobb picked up her second all-region award, albeit the first from the NSCAA as she was a third team selection of the Daktronics awards program a year ago. Cobb was a crucial leader on one of the best defenses in the nation, allowing just a 0.50 GAA, the ninth-best in Division II. She added her second All-PBC award this season.
The pair of Bobcats makes 13 PBC women's soccer players on the list. Six came from Columbus State University, four from UNC Pembroke and one from Armstrong Atlantic State University.
This season the Bobcats enjoyed the best campaign in school history, setting school marks for wins (13) and goals against (10) while getting a league-high seven players on the All-PBC teams. Making their first trip to the NCAA Tournament, Georgia College also earned the first national ranking in school history, reaching as high as No. 19 as well as the best region rank (4) and conference finish (3) in the school's five years of varsity soccer.
The GCSU Department of Athletics sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: Years of Growth (1884-1906)
Harry Truman's life began in the small, country town of Lamar, Missouri on May 8, 1884. In 1890 his family moved 120 miles north to the growing community of Independence. The family bought a house at 619 South Crysler Avenue where Harry made friends, attended school, and did chores.
One reason for moving to Independence was that Harry, his brother, and sister could attend graded schools, rather than the typical country one-room schoolhouse with children of all ages and grades mixed together. In class, Harry studied spelling, reading, literature, language, grammar, penmanship, arithmetic, geography, history, civil government, drawing, music, hygiene or health, and physical culture (physical education). Teachers had a very important impact on young Harry Truman, as he later wrote in his memoirs, "I do not remember a bad teacher in all my experiences. They were all different, of course, but they were the salt of the earth. They gave us high ideals and they hardly ever received more than $40 a month for it."¹
Harry was very close to his family, especially his mother, who taught him how to read and play the piano. Radio and television were not invented yet, so Harry's family sang and played the piano for entertainment. The young boy also loved to read, especially history books, although his interests were so widespread that he later joked, "There were about three thousand books in the library downtown, and I guess I read them all, including the encyclopedias."² Harry's love of reading continued throughout his life.
In 1896, his family moved to a home on the corner of Waldo Street and River Boulevard. Here, Harry and his childhood friends enjoyed sledding in the winter and fishing in the local rivers during the summer. He remembered, "Our house became headquarters for all the boys and girls around.... There was a wonderful barn with stalls for horses and cows, a corn crib and a hayloft in which all the kids met and cooked up plans for all sorts of adventures...."³
Harry also kept busy with chores, and later, a job. To keep warm in the winter, wood had to be hauled in for the fireplace or stoves. Much of the family's food came from backyard gardens. Even in town, many people kept chickens and dairy cows. Of course homes did not have electricity. Some had gaslights, but most relied on candles and oil lamps. At 14, Harry began his first paying job at Clinton's drugstore on the town square. He received three dollars a week for working there before school and on the weekend.
Throughout high school Harry was an excellent student and loved to learn, especially about history. He wanted to go to college, but his family did not have the money to send him. So, following his 1901 graduation, he held a series of jobs before moving to Kansas City, where he made a good salary as a bank clerk. In 1906, he left this job and moved back to Grandview, Missouri, to help on his family's farm. He had never farmed before, and it was hard work for someone more used to city life.
Questions for Reading 1
1. How were schools in Independence different from country schools? What subjects did Truman study in school? How are they similar or different from what you study? What was Truman's favorite subject in school?
2. Name some things families did for entertainment in Truman's day.
3. What was Truman's favorite pastime at home? How did having a public library influence his life?
4. Why didn't Truman go to college? Where did he work after high school graduation?
5. Why did Truman move to Grandview, Missouri?

I came here for business meeting thus do not have much time for sightseeing and shopping , all I can say that KL is a great city
KL is a great city, but the inhabitants not so friendly. I can tell you, I was crossing the street and a local stepped on my foot with his motorcycle historical to keep driving, so.
..it leaves a not so good impression. I've been living in Asia for a long time already, and no one has ever rolled over my foot, not even in the most crowded city. But the petronas are worthwhile visiting. 1 day is more than enough for KL
It's not my type of holiday. I only had time to spend in bukit Bintan for a few days. It's quite far to amusement park I'm planning for.
Shopping here is not cheap as I expected even in sale promotion. Singapore seems better for shopping in term of price attractive. Local food mostly same with Singapore. No outstanding I must have it. But food cost here is quite reasonable even at airport.
Taxi is abundant, some are nice. Office area lunch food courts do not have much delicious selection, and may be somewhat overpriced for the taste.
But since it is the capital city, business travelers should not expect much beyond work.
In my list of far-eastern great cities, for the moment at a far place, after Bangkok, Hong-Kong, Singapore, but before Jakarta.
Shopping is very big in KL. Local people obviously have a lot of pride in their city and homeland because I witnessed continued cleaning up and refurbishing activities.
The way the cities are designed and built to provide all amenities to locals and tourists within close proximity to the desired choice of accommodation. The biggest one item that I observed is the availability of huge multiple choices in almost every aspect of life within a major city. Enjoyed the stay in KL and would recommend this trip to my friends.
Kuala Lumpur have lots of tourist attractions. It has many museums t, birds sanctuary/park, istana (King's Palace) that have been turned as a tourist attraction, The Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers, religious places, shopping complexes.
It have so many places to offer to tourist
Matured city with friendly neighborhood. Need to take care of safety along the place. But anywhere is dangerous if we don't practise careful and safety measures!
The furama hotel is close to berjaya times square mall, around there easy to get kuliner, example at night they have lok lok in front of this hotel.
but not close the pavilion mal.every time i stay at this hotel.
Lots of foreign worker like Bangladesh walking around Bukit Bintang area especially on weekend, beware of motorbike snatch thief surrounding in tourist area.
For Malaysian feel unsecure when visit this specific area.
friendly people, lots of places to visits and shopping. whenever you ask for the taxi, always ask for a receipt.
State full of foreign worker. If you walk along anywhere in KL area, beware of belonging and snatch thief.
Tourism awareness not performing compare nearest country like S'pore or Bangkok.
This city has changed a lot over the past 5 years. The inhabitants are mostly foreigners. Not as truly Malaysia where we get to see locals doing business on the streets.
Kuala Lumpur is full of cars and every evening sure jam so if possible do not drive during evening . The food is nice if you dont mind it is oily .
It is a vibrant city with old and new, different cultures that mixed together.The transportation network is good and the taxi driver are reliable.
Well connected via public transport that is clean and safe. A very affordable city to stay in with limitless options to fun, dining, shopping, etc.
People are very friendly. However, most "local" workers in most establishments are very inexperienced, laid back, lazy and inefficient. A big contrast when you meet "foreign workers", they are more professional, efficient and knowledgeable. Compare that with Singapore, it is a less sterile city that offers more edge, value and fun for visitors. People are more hospitable and personable in KL.
Busy area but try to Find like This area around Seri Pacific Hotel for relax. If you need shopping hotel will advise you.
Kuala Lumpur have a lot to offer - shopping places, tourist attractions such as museum - we been to countless museum so far - National Museum, Police Museum, Islamic Museum, Textile Museum.
There are national monument, botanical gardens - Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Taman Tasik Keramat, Taman Tasik Perdana all are nice place to kill your time.
KL is a good city. Petronas Towers, KL Tower, National Mosque is the places of interest. 120 KM from KL you can travel to fireflys, which is touted to be a good attraction.
I feel it is overrated. 200 KM from KL you can travel to Malacca (A'Famosa) this has many attractions to offer from Carnival, Water theme sports, Zoo, Sports, etc., Good for family with children. For foreigners (Excluding Singaporean, PR, Malaysian) they charge twice the amount
KL is a capital city. If you were looking for a relaxing place it is not, but it may be your shopping paradise.
Kuala Lumpur is a nice city, where shopping malls are evrywhere, easy to reach by train or monorail, the foods also very delicious.
Kuala Lumpur is one of the greatest city for shopping, dining, entertainment in the world. However, there is one thing very worst- TAXI service.
To avoid unhappiness travel in Kuala Lumpur, make sure you download your Uber or GrabCar apps in your mobile phone.
The largest city among Malaysia and it has the most popular shopping malls, restaurant, greatest family theme-park and a hub to suit all kind travelers.
Except entertainment, it does label as the largest business hub in Malaysia which surrounded by international organization and populations.
many amazing place can visit such as klcc, bangunan sultan abdul samad at dataran merdeka, kl tower & dont forget to have lunch or dinner in the restaurant kl tower.
very nice & amazing restaurant
Mostly like other big cities around the world, it a city with busy hours, nightlife and entertainment centre
A great place to visit. Very vibrant, diverse, open and inviting. Impressive to see that such a diverse community of different ethnic groups and different religions lived together peacefully and in harmony.
The bad thing about KL was the (budget) taxi driver... for several times they dont want to use fare-meter and asking overpriced fare.
From KL to melacca, penang or genting highland very convenience with bus. It takes 2~3 hours by bus. Just spend 10 days to visit 3~4 places with value money and time.
I just stay at one world hotel and I feel there is a good place for me to stay, friendly and easy to get all the best food restaurant.
It's a city in south east Asia with the flair of Asia. The city becomes a challenge by rain, as there moves nothing.
So plan enough time to get from one place to another. There is something, to deal with the Taxi driver is "a" experience.

OAKLAND, Calif. - A six-run sixth inning opened the floodgates for a UC Santa Barbara baseball team that had been shutout in its past two games, allowing the Gauchos to salvage the final game of a three-game series vs. USF, 9-5.
The Gauchos opened the game up in the sixth inning scoring six times, highlighted by Ryan Palermo's two-run single with the bases loaded. After a strikeout to lead off the inning, UCSB reached base eight straight times and sent 12 hitters to the plate. Five singles, a double, a walk, and a run-scoring fielder's choice gave the Gauchos a 8-0 lead after five and a half innings of play.
Austin Pettibone improved to 4-1 on the season after allowing four runs in 5.2 innings. Greg Mahle recorded his first career save with three stellar innings of relief work as the freshman lefty did not allow a run.
Five Gauchos had multi-hit games, highlighted by Joey Wallace's home run and Brett Vertigan's double and triple.
In the sixth inning, Mahle's single drove in the first run and Wallace's groundout brought in another. After Palermo's two-run hit, Vertigan had a bases-loaded double to bring in two more and that was all the Gauchos needed to finish off the series.
Although the Dons (13-13 overall) scored the final five runs of the game, the Gauchos (11-11) put the outcome out of hand with their 13-hit attack. It came on the heels of the team not scoring at all during Saturday's doubleheader.
UC Santa Barbara scored once in the second on Joey Wallace's 4-6-3 double play. It was the Gauchos' first run of the series after they were shutout in both games of Saturday's doubleheader. USF starter Abe Bobb pitched through a no-out, runners on first and third situation, allowing the one run in the top of the second.
The Gauchos lengthened their lead to 9-5 in the eighth, scoring a single run on Lance Roenicke's RBI base hit.
UCSB returns home on Tuesday to face Pepperdine in a Throwback Tuesday game. Click here for tickets. The game will also be broadcast live online by clicking here.

Omega World Travel's 46th Annual Holiday Client Luncheon
December 5, 2018 - Washington, D.C. The Willard Intercontinental Hotel was brimming with holiday cheer and décor, and is the site of Omega's Annual Holiday Client Luncheon. Omega celebrated its 46th year surrounded by clients, supporters, vendors and friends. This year Omega's Family of Brands (Omega World Travel, Cruise.com, TravTech and Omega M.I.C.E), has a lot to celebrate. President and CEO, Gloria Bohan, won The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA's) Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the Business Travel (BTN) Hall of Fame. She was also named Godmother of The MS. Robert Burns from Riviera Cruises. Bohan fell in love with the travel industry during her honeymoon cruise on the QE2 and is also the Godmother of Windstar Cruises' Star Legend.
Omega's own Joe Margraf kicked off the holiday luncheon and was the emcee for the duration. Margraf also told everyone to download the special luncheon app, so guests could vote in real-time on Omega's festive-ness (ranging from a lump of coal - not very festive to Buddy the Elf from the movie Elf - extremely festive.) Buddy the Elf won, and Margraf changed into a festive holiday jacket and thanked his team. It is important to note that in 2018, The Omega Meetings and Events team (M.I.C.E) was named to Meetingsnet 12th Annual CMI 25 list. Furthermore, our technology, with Omegalytics and reporting is more advanced than ever with the launch of our Omega Go App and latest Alexa Skills. Omega's partnership with Million Women Mentors and STEMConnector blossomed and Bohan signed the Paradigm for Parity movement, which commits Omega to Achieving Gender Parity by 2030. Omega is looking forward to hearing about the success of our mentee, The Leading Niche, who also attended the luncheon.
Bohan founded Omega in 1972 and she credits the continued success of Omega by evolving the business to keep up with the times and by staying ahead of the competition through innovation. She aims to foster the entrepreneurial spirit among staff and through her Foundation, The Dan and Gloria Bohan Foundation. Moving forward, there will be lots of upcoming exciting Alexa skills with our technology. Looking ahead, Omega together with Cruise.com will see a rise in Luxury Travel, Luxury Golf Excursions with help from our Luxury Travel Team.
To round out Omega's Corporate Responsibility and our mission, Omega will be opening a third Junior Achievement storefront in Prince George's county in 2019. Each student who attended the luncheon won a flight courtesy of Delta Air Lines and so did many of the Junior Achievement employees! The luncheon concluded with Delta Air Lines winning Top Vendor Airline of the Year and Enterprise Holdings winning Top Car Vendor of the year.

The Wonder of Your Love, by Beth Wiseman, is a sweet story of a 40-year-old Amish widow named Katie Ann who is struggling to raise her baby son alone. She meets an Amish widower, Eli, who has raised his 6 children and is looking forward to spending time travelling and enjoying a life with fewer responsibilities. Eli is attracted to Katie Ann, but not interested in starting another family. Katie Ann was betrayed by her first husband, and is afraid to trust another man. Though they have a lot in common, neither of them is interested in anything but friendship—but God has other plans.
Eli's family lives far away, and neither he nor Katie Ann wants to move away from those they love. Despite their growing attraction for each other, there are obstacles to overcome before they can find happiness together.
This is a well-written, enjoyable book. I liked the characters and the plot kept me interested. The secondary characters are involved in subplots that add to this story and also make it clear there will be future books in this series. This story was easy to follow even though I haven't read the first book in the Land of Canaan series. I recommend it to anyone who likes stories about the Amish, or romances.
The Wonder of Your Love was given to me by the publisher, Thomas Nelson, for review.

BioEntrepreneur needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 103 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
Our leadership: Experienced, talented group with a successful track record building biotech and pharmaceutical teams, companies, and products. We have a work hard- play hard outlook on life, and a creative, disciplined, resourceful approach to launching our new venture.
Our mission: We are developing and commercializing targeted cancer drugs. This is a start-up venture formed in partnership with scientists at the forefront of cancer research advances.
We have 3 main audiences:
(1) Investors - typically VC and private equity firms, investment banks;
(2) Healthcare providers - doctors, nurses, patients, caregivers; and
(3) Corporate partners - we work closely with consultants, scientific advisors, contract research companies
.. We are always establishing relationships with investors and stakeholders. Company brand and perceptions matter, and are a driving force in how our audience comes to know us.
We need a company logo that reflects our company personality, mission and culture, essentially capturing attributes such as the following:
- innovation (specific to life sciences and biotech drugs)
- energy and focus
- creativity
- teamwork
- scientific advances
- business leadership
- life and longevity (speaks to improving survival rates with new targeted cancer drugs)
The colors for our logo should match with a deep red. We feature red sparingly in our draft investor slides and company fact sheet, because red connotes prosperity .. and looks good, warm against a white background.

I built a Salsa Spearfish and I have over $4000 in it and I am riding a $300 SS. So I think I am going to go with one of these 2 bikes. I have also thought of diSSent, but after building one I think you come out alot better to buy a complete bike then maybe upgrade. You also get to see if the upgrade was really worth the $$$.

Obregon pistol, left side. Note characteristic single safety / slide stop lever
Obregon pistol, right side
Obregon pistol with an original holster
Obregon pistol in an original box
Obregon pistol was a brain-child of the Mexican gun designer Alejandro Obregon. This rare pistol has been manufactured during 1934-1938 by Fabrica de Armas arms factory in Mexico city. Only several thousands of Obregon pistol were produced; it is believed that about 800 pistols were privately purchased by Mexican Army officers, and some more were issued to various police forces in Mexico. In its design Obregon pistol heavily borrows on US M1911A1 pistol, although there are several original features.
Obregon pistol is short recoil operated, locked breech pistol that uses rotary barrel locking. The two other features that distinguish Obregon from M1911A1 are covered by Obregon patents and include single-piece safety / slide stop lever, located on the left side of the gun, and captive return spring rod. The basic design and shape of most other parts, including single-action trigger, grip safety and magazine, are virtual copies of M1911A1 parts. Disassembly of the Obregon pistol is basically the same as of M1911A1, except that there's no separate returns spring plunger.

Kilo Echo wrote:Instead of simplifying the interior, it seems the MBTA is trying to get fancy. The T could take a few lessons from the TA in New York. For instance, owing to passenger complaints about contoured seats, the seating on all new rolling stock comprises benches only. Also, because the glass dividers between doors and seats on the old R46 cars were a frequent target of vandalism, new cars use closely spaced diagonal handrails (bars) to separate seated passengers from the doors.
Johannesburg - A Transnet contract worth almost R8bn for new Chinese-manufactured locomotives has hit a stumbling block as technical problems have plagued the first of the trains to arrive in South Africa.
News24 can reveal that the alternators of the first two diesel locomotives delivered to Transnet by CRRC Corporation, China's state-owned rail behemoth, posed serious problems soon after they arrived in South Africa last year, rendering the locomotives unable to operate.
Transnet is now refusing to accept a further 18 locomotives that are waiting to be shipped to South Africa. The locomotives' alternators "vibrate excessively", say sources familiar with the development.
Alarmingly, problems with the alternators of similar Chinese-manufactured locomotives ordered by Namibia in 2004 played a role in that country's decision to stop using them.

The second car looks like a blind B car on both ends. The third car intrigues me. It appears to have end lighting for if the car ran on the rear of a train, but it does not appear to have a cab on that end judging by what I can see through that first window, and how that window is not a sliding window. The fourth car is too far away to tell for sure, but it does appear to have the sliding window at the end.

Same principal as the Thrive burger recipes, but it worked so well cooked I thought I'd share.
1 portion pumpkin seeds
1 portion sunflower seeds
1 portion cooked millet
1/2 portion frozen spinach
engevita/nutritional yeast
mixed herbs
1) Earlier in the day, cook millet with water, in covered pan, for 20 minutes or so or until you think it's cooked. Turn off and leave to cool.
2) Later on, chop and fry onion and garlic. Once they're soft, add the herbs and frozen spinach, cover and cook until the spinach has thawed.
3) Put all the seeds and yeast into food processor, and blend until it looks like breadcrumbs.
4) Chuck in the millet, blend. Then add the onion/spinach mix and blend briefly just so it mixes well.
5) Grease a loaf tin and spoon in all the mixture. Wipe off any spills to stop it burning, and cover the top with greaseproof. Cook at 150 centigrade for 20 mins or so, then remove greaseproof and cook for further 10 mins, or until it turns golden. Or black. depends how you like to eat things.
We left it overnight to cool and turned it out as a solid loaf in the morning, but you could eat it hot.
There is no salt in it, so our little one can eat it. I suggest you smother it in gravy or homemade damson chutney. Check out delia's recipe here: http://tinyurl.com/damson-delia quick before damson season is over.
I was impressed with the nutty texture, and whilst we often run out of nuts, we always have sacks of seeds in the house.
In the spirit of "soy not oi" punk cooking, the soundtrack to this included:
Chase and Staus - Hitz.
Against Me - Wagon Wheel.
Wugazi - Sleep rules everything around me.
Kate Rusby - Village Green preservation society.
And the tipple was raki from my dad's village in Crete.

How to use seed catalogs to best advantage
The seed catalogs have been coming in the mail since early December; most will have been mailed by mid January. Many of the catalogs offer bonuses if you order early. You can save money by purchasing early, and you are guaranteed against having to accept substitutions.
Concentrate on the same catalog to save money on packaging and shipping. If you examine servicing charges closely you will notice that as the sub-total increases, the packaging fees decrease.
But you won't necessarily be able to purchase all of the desired varieties of seeds from a single catalog. Compare catalogs to select one that offers the greatest choice at the best prices.
You'll want to closely compare seed catalogs that make similar offers. Look for differences in the amount of seeds they offered per packets of the same varieties. Some seed companies will offer almost twice as many seeds as others for the same price.
Many catalogs offer special sales on certain seeds. Most of these lists do not include the number of seeds per packet, which makes it difficult when estimating the number of seeds needed. Since most seed catalog companies package their own seeds, you can obtain some of that information by referring to similar varieties in the same catalog.
Most seeds lose viability with age, so do not order more seeds than you can use in one or two growing seasons. Some seeds have a longer shelf life than others depending on how they are stored. It's best to store seeds in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Storing seeds in their original packet in a drawer under the kitchen counter is not a good idea.
Symptoms of lost seed viability include poor germination, delayed germination and distorted seedling growth. Because it is impossible to look at seeds and determine if they are good or bad, the law requires that all vegetable seed packages indicate percent germination and the date of testing. The law does not require the testing of flower seeds or seeds of perennial plants, but most good seed companies provide date of testing and percent germination. This information is not published in catalogs but only on seed packages.
Knowing percent seed germination is important when sowing seeds. Seeds with a high percent germination are spaced farther apart in the rows than seeds with a low percent germination. Sowing seeds based on percent germination reduces the need for thinning rows of seedlings as they grow.
Order seeds for the fall garden at the same time you order your spring seeds. Store those seeds in the refrigerator and they will maintain their viability. By ordering fall vegetable seeds now, you will be guaranteed the varieties you selected and will not have to accept substitutes, which is likely to occur if you elect to order those same seeds in mid-summer. Most seed companies do not have an endless supply of seeds. Thus the later you order seeds, the more likely you may have to accept substitutes.
Don't hesitate to try new and improved varieties. I try to include one or two new varieties and compare them with my standards. In next week's Bay Weekly, I will compare some of the new varieties that I grew in 2011 and comment on some of the new varieties that I will be testing in 2012.

Sony's Shocking 'Other OS' Win and Suspect Distro Popularity Trends
Sep 2, 2010 5:00 AM PT
You can't win them all, as the saying goes, and that apparently includes Linux fans.
To wit: Despite the best hopes of many of us in the community, the man suing Sony over the removal of the "other OS" feature from its PS3 has apparently lost his case.
The bad news is that the man won't get the money he had requested to compensate for an upgrade to his newly crippled PS3; the good news is that he reportedly wasn't forced to pay Sony's legal bill to boot.
Linux bloggers were none too pleased with the news.
'Completely Ridiculous'
"It's completely ridiculous," wrote chaboud on Slashdot, for example. "We already know that going into court is a crapshoot, with somewhat random results, but the one thing that we can be certain of? Having money enough to have a team of attorneys permanently on staff (like Sony) is definitely going to help tug the randomness in your direction.
"How could any court not view this as false advertising?" chaboud wondered. "My guess is that they have fresh Vaios and PS3s (i.e. hookers and blow) to spare."
Indeed, "the only thing worse than Sony doing this is that I haven't yet heard of a single legal case where the judge(s) involved seem to be taking it particularly seriously," agreed jimicus. "I really don't like the idea of living in a world where a manufacturer can release a product with features X, Y and Z only to remove Z -- even from items already sold -- at a later date."
Linux Girl couldn't have said it better.
'Completely Meaningless'
Elsewhere in the blogosphere, meanwhile, an interesting discussion has been going on about a report published not long ago about the popularity of the various Linux distros.
Whereas Distrowatch has traditionally kept track of popularity via hits on each distribution's page on the site, LinuxTrends recently decided to take a different approach. Specifically, it entered the names of the distros into Google's Insights for Search tool and grabbed images of the resulting graphs.
The result? A pretty different view of who's "hot" and who's not; Linux bloggers weren't sure it was the right one.
"This article has absolutely nothing to do with install base, relative to the rest of the market or otherwise," complained Anonymous Coward on Slashdot, for example. "It's solely google trends, and thus completely meaningless."
'Not Terribly Encouraging'
They also weren't convinced that the results "bode well for the future of Linux," as LinuxTrends suggested.
"I don't think it does bode well for Linux," wrote je ne sais quoi. "If you look at statcounter's usage stats, while Linux has finally made it above the 'other' category, growth has essentially stalled. Worldwide, linux has gone from about 0.7% in 2009 to 0.8% in 2010."
While "that's going in the right direction, it's still not terribly encouraging," je ne sais quoi concluded. "At that rate Linux will never become a mainstream OS."
It was at that point that Linux Girl realized there was a debate in the offing. She snagged a stool at her favorite blogobar and listened in on the conversation.
'A Rehash of the Sucks-Rules-O-Meter'
"These stats are completely useless since judging an app by its Google searches is barely related to how popular the distro is," Montreal consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack was saying. "Personally, I tend not to search Google for anything related to my distro unless I either can't figure something out or something has broken; since both happen rarely, I can't imagine I contribute much to my favorite distro on Google trends."
Similarly, "this seems like little more than a glorified rehash of the sucks-rules-o-meter, as it's apparently based on browser search terms," Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza agreed. "It's no surprise to me that the most successful implementation of Linux is Android, which barely seems like Linux to the typical end user, especially in light of the success of the iOS-based devices.
"It turns out that NeXTStep with a candy coating is a lot more operating system than most users actually need on a regular basis, just as a complete Linux system with the kitchen sink, the kitchen and the municipal water plant is more than most users will ever need," Espinoza added. "It is also rather gratifying to see Debian continue to succeed in the form of Ubuntu."
'Miley Cyrus Would Be President'
If Google trends were the deciding factor, "I'm sure Miley Cyrus would be president of the USA by now," Slashdot blogger hairyfeet opined.
Rather, the more important measure "will be the data Canonical gets in," hairyfeet added. "I hope the other major distros like Mandriva and RHEL will pick up and follow suit."
Hard numbers on the number of users are what's needed, hairyfeet explained, "preferably broken down by country and demographic."
Then, "developers will be able to point to hard data of how many potential customers they are losing and give these figures to device manufacturers," he said.
'I Can Prove That Ubuntu Is Crappier'
Slashdot blogger Barbara Hudson, who goes by "Tom" on the site, was inspired to take the analysis in a different direction.
"Using the same methodology, I can prove that Ubuntu is crappier than all the other distros combined," Hudson asserted, referring to a series of graphs she created plotting trends in users' complaints about the various distros.
That is, "by supplying some context, we find that Ubuntu users have an extremely disproportionate amount of problems compared to other popular distros," Hudson explained.
By way of explaining those results, "people using Ubuntu might tend to be n00bs who picked it because of the hype," Hudson suggested. "Or maybe the fugly color schemes act like waving a flag in front of a bull. What we *can* conclude is that they have way more than their share of problems."
'It Is Healthy That People Are Curious'
Blogger Robert Pogson took a higher-level perspective.
"The Google trends are not a good indicator of installed base of GNU/Linux, but they do show about what people are curious," he noted. "I think it is healthy that people are so curious about so many distros; the total of the small distros below Ubuntu are still a lot of interested computer users."
The important thing, after all, "is not what distro one is curious about," he concluded, "but that one is interested in GNU/Linux."
*ECT News Network editor's note - Sept. 2, 2010: The original published version of this article erroneously referenced Distrowatch as the author of the trends report that hairyfeet took exception to. It was actually the LinuxTrends report that he considered flawed.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Martin & Lewis were a bona fide pop culture phenomenon of the early postwar period, equaled only by Elvis Presley and, later on, The Beatles. Their primary appeal was as an unpredictable live act synergizing with their audience; in nightclubs they were a sensation. On live TV, hosting shows like The Colgate Comedy Hour, Martin & Lewis were a bit more restricted but these appearances at least approximated what it was like seeing them at their peak. In the movies, however, Martin & Lewis merely went through the motions, navigating a trail of familiar genre situations already blazed by Abbott & Costello and others. In their earliest films, Lewis's unique comic persona was enough, and toward the end their movies got a big shot in the arm from imaginative director Frank Tashlin. Money from Home doesn't fall into either of these categories, and it's fairly representative of everything that was wrong with their movies.
The film is very loosely adapted from a story by Damon Runyon, the source of material for Abbott & Costello's It Ain't Hay (1943) and Bob Hope's The Lemon Drop Kid (1951), both of which likewise involve horse racing and crooked gamblers, while Runyon's Guys and Dolls was just wrapping its three-year run on Broadway. In Money from Home, ne'er-do-well gambler Honey Talk Nelson (Dean Martin) is in trouble with The Mob; his I.O.U.s are bought up by big-time bookmaker Jumbo Schneider (Sheldon Leonard) who, ahem, "offers" to square things with Nelson if he fixes an upcoming horse race in Maryland.
Dragging along his cousin, vegetarian veterinarian wannabe Virgil Yokum (Jerry Lewis), Nelson concocts a plan to have Virgil impersonate the prized horse's jockey, alcoholic Brit Bertie Searles (Richard Hayden). Meanwhile, Nelson falls for the horse's owner, Phyllis Leigh (Marjie Millar, a pretty and talented actress who died much too young) while Virgil finds a soul-mate in fellow vegetarian veterinarian Autumn Claypool (Pat Crowley).
The film is not one of Martin & Lewis' best. Where Abbott & Costello's movies for Universal tend to have a cost-conscious assembly line feel, all of Martin & Lewis' movies, at least from about this point forward, are weighed down by A-picture gloss. There's too much production and not enough comedy, and at 100 minutes the film seems to go on forever; you could cut 30 minutes out of the picture and not hurt it one bit. Directed with zero flair by George Marshall (not the former General of the Army and Secretary of State, though Wikipedia seems to think so), it pretty much just sits there, and preponderance of bland studio interiors - they don't go anywhere near a racetrack until the film's almost over - doesn't help.
One of the problems plaguing the entire Martin & Lewis oeuvre is Dean's character; as in most of their films together, Dean comes off as a first-class jerk and a lecher besides. Maybe because Lou Costello and Bob Hope could be just as devious (if not as skilled) as Bud Abbott and Bing Crosby, audiences could accept their partner's cruelty and even find it funny. However, with Lewis, Dean's actions, really no worse than anything Bud or Bing inflicted upon their partners, are tantamount to animal cruelty, so pathetically stupid and innocent is Lewis's character: the organ grinder beating up on the little monkey.
With Abbott & Costello and Bob & Bing there was never any doubt these guys were pals, even if they would sell each other out for a pretty girl...or five bucks. But at best Dean merely tolerated Jerry and in their last films together, made at the height of their much-publicized feud, they can't even fake that. In Pardners and Hollywood or Bust, Dean looks ready to slug Jerry at any moment.
For his part, Lewis is pretty insufferable in Money of Home. His childlike love of animals is grating instead of funny, though his romance with Pat Crowley is for the most part cute. Like Lou Costello, Jerry Lewis' persona began as something far more subversive but like Costello, Lewis was stricken with Chaplinitis, and in trying to fashion himself into something universally beloved wound up instead limiting his appeal to, primarily, kids.
There are scattered laughs: Lewis is funny in a drag scene, masquerading as one of the myriad wives of an Arab sheik. Later in the film he does a variation of an old act Lewis did in the Catskills as a teenager, comically lip-synching to records in an awkwardly set-up variation of Cyrano de Bergerac.
When does this story take place? Some sources state the film is set in the 1920s and some characters do wear period costumes. Bootlegging and Prohibition are mentioned, but throughout the film are 1940s sedans and some establishing and wide angle shots clearly place the film in 1953.
Video & Audio
Money from Home reportedly was one of just two films (the other being Flight to Tangier) filmed in both 3-D and 3-strip Technicolor, meaning six separate rolls of films recorded the action on two giant cameras mounted side-by-side and interlocked. The DVD, of course, is not in 3-D and there's nothing in the credits and almost nothing in the film to call attention to this as a "depthy." (By the time it was released the fad was pretty much over and it seems to have played many markets "flat.") There's a brief bit with Jerry falling headlong into the camera lens, but that's about it as far as 3-D showcase scenes. (This reviewer attended a showing of the film in 3-D in Los Angeles in 2003, attended by actress Crowley and writer Hal Kanter, among others. It was fun to watch but the added dimension didn't, as the ads promised, make the film "three times funnier.")
The presentation is okay but imperfect. There's some misalignment of the three Technicolor separations on several reels, and the full-frame format apparently is incorrect. This was a "Panoramic Screen" release in 1.66:1 format originally; at 1.78:1 the cropping is a bit extreme but a 1.66:1 16:9 transfer with black bars on the sides would have done it just right. The opening titles clearly are framed for cropping. The mono sound (no subtitles, no alternate audio options) is adequate as well. Like many 3-D releases, this originally was shown in multi-track stereophonic sound, but sources report that those elements are presently lost.
There are no Extra Features
Parting Thoughts
Only Martin & Lewis completists will want to own Money from Home, a decidedly weak and overlong comedy. As innocuous family fare, however, you might want to Rent It.

The best year for U.S. initial public offerings (IPOs) since the 1999 technology boom is driving record money into an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests in newly listed companies from Twitter Inc. to General Motors Co.
The First Trust U.S. IPO Index Fund attracted $165 million in the last three months of 2013, the most for a quarter since it started in 2006, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That brought the total annual inflows to a record $280 million. The Bloomberg IPO Index climbed 64 percent last year, the biggest jump in 14 years, pushed by gains in Twitter and Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. Facebook Inc., which began trading in 2012 and has the biggest weighting in the IPO fund, doubled.
Appetite for equities drove U.S. companies to sell $56 billion in new shares last year, the most since 2007, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Investors poured the most money in almost a decade into equity funds, as Standard & Poor's 500 companies added more than $3.7 trillion in market value. Demand for IPOs will remain strong amid a recovering global economy, said Romain Boscher at Amundi Asset Management.
"People's appetite for IPOs is back, and there is a mismatch between equity supply and demand," Boscher, who is responsible for equities at Europe's biggest asset manager, said in an interview on Jan. 7. Amundi oversees $740 billion. "There was a sort of queue of companies planning to tap the market as soon as the opportunity was right. And now with higher prices and low volatility, that time has come. This is very favorable for IPOs."
Three rounds of bond purchases from the Federal Reserve have triggered a 173 percent gain in the S&P 500 since March 2009 and the lowest volatility in almost seven years, encouraging companies to sell stock. U.S. shares rallied to an all-time high after the Fed said it would begin reducing the pace of its stimulus, increasing investors' confidence in the economic recovery. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, which tracks estimated S&P 500 swings, is near its lowest level since February 2007.
S&P 500 futures expiring in March rose 0.1 percent at 9:35 a.m. in London today.
Companies raised about $22 billion in U.S. IPOs in the fourth quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Sales in Europe and Asia rose too, helping global deals triple from the prior three months.
S&P 500 companies have never been this valuable, with a market capitalization of $16.5 trillion, the data show. Investors added $244 billion into global-equity funds in 2013, the most since 2004, according to data from EPFR Global and Bank of America Corp.
The performance of IPO stocks following their listing shows increased conviction in the outlook for the broader market, said Will Hedden at IG in London.
Market Strength
"IPOs are being caught up in the strength of the market," said Hedden, whose company offers investments in recent IPOs such as Twitter and Facebook. "It's been a big feature of the year. The average investor is getting more of an opportunity to get involved, just as IPOs are being more successful. It's becoming more of a focus in the market."
The number of shares outstanding on the First Trust IPO fund surged almost 10-fold last year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. There were a total of 8.35 million shares yesterday, the most ever.
The ETF tracks the IPOX-100 U.S. Index, which jumped 47 percent in 2013, the biggest increase since 1999. The gauge includes companies with a market value of at least $50 million, according to IPOX Schuster LLC, the index compiler. The stocks stay in the measure for 1,000 trading days following the offering, IPOX founder Josef Schuster said in a phone interview.
Twitter, the owner of the microblogging service, sold shares for the first time in November at $26 each. It closed at $60.57 yesterday. Hilton, the world's biggest hotel operator, has climbed to $21.96 from its initial sale at $20 in December. Facebook, the world's most popular social-networking service, is up 51 percent since its May 2012 IPO price of $38.
The IPO ETF is more prone to losses in worsening market conditions, when there are fewer initial share sales, according to Dave Lutz, the head of exchange-traded fund trading and strategy at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in Baltimore. The ETF tumbled 44 percent in 2008 when the financial crisis roiled markets, worse than the 38 percent decline for the S&P 500.
"Your liquidity is going to dry up, you are not going to have as many IPOs in down markets," Lutz said in an interview on Jan. 7. "It may also be that venture capitalists and the companies themselves will be looking to cash out in a down market, which could create more and more of a liquidity problem, more and more pressure."
No Fading
For Oliver Wallin, who helps oversee $5.6 billion as investment director at Octopus Investments Ltd. in London, demand from investors to participate in new listings won't fade out in the short term as the global economy strengthens.
Banco Santander SA and Blackstone Group LP are among companies planning initial share sales. The Spanish bank's U.S. consumer lender subsidiary, which originates subprime loans for new-vehicle purchases and leases, this month filed to raise as much as $1.56 billion in an IPO. Blackstone is seeking to sell shares of its La Quinta Holdings Inc. lodging chain, according to a December statement.
"There is just more risk appetite out in the market at the moment and people are prepared to pay more to participate, so we'll see more of this," Wallin said in a phone interview. "It's an opportunistic strategy."

Subscribe To A Look At Lindsay Lohan In Costume As Elizabeth Taylor For Lifetime's Liz & Dick Updates
I've already subscribed
A few months ago, Lifetime announced that they were not only developing an Elizabeth Taylor biopic but that Lindsay Lohan would be the one playing the iconic and troubled Hollywood beauty. Lohan, a more than troubled young starlet in her own right, was in negotiations to play the part for quite some time but the project never seemed to get off the ground while she, well, couldn't stop getting into trouble. Now that Liz & Dick is up and running, those that were hoping that they would never see Lohan as Taylor are given their first look at the actress as the actress and it's just as disappointing as many feared. She just looks like Lindsay Lohan with curly black hair.
Am I being too critical? Lohan recently made the image her twitter profile picture so is seems like she's rather proud of the 'transformation' but I just don't see it. It looks like Lohan decided to be Taylor for Halloween and simply threw on a black curly wig and a white slip mimicking (as Pop2It shows) Taylor's signature look in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. This photo follows right on the heels of the The Daily Mail sharing other photos of Lohan in various costumes but this is the first time she actually adorned the wig and brows.
I don't want to slam the look too hard because I'm aware that this isn't some high quality still released by Lifetime but a rather unpolished snapshot of the young actress in a costume fitting. I'll hold off on a definitive verdict until seeing the finished product (or at least a polished promotional photo or bit of footage) but I wouldn't say this makes me any more optimistic. Lifetime's original TV movie called Liz & Dick will follow Elizabeth Taylor's romance with two-time husband (and fellow great actor) Richard Burton. The latter has yet to be cast, and I'm certainly interested in seeing who they find to play the Hollywood legend, an announcement which should come soon since the film plans to start filming in Los Angeles in June. What do you think of Lohan as Taylor?
