Facebook to Announce Its IPO in May which could value the company at $100 billion.

Uploaded by on Mar 29, 2012
The most popular social networking site is hitting the public market very soon.

Facebook just announced that it will be halting the trading of its shares on secondary markets this Friday at noon as it prepares to finalize everything for its initial public offering.

According to the Wall Street journal, the website's IPO will be in May which could value the company at $100 billion.

Also recently there's been trouble with Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who wants at least $5 billion more from Wall Street investors to finalize the IPO. However, he didn't give them much face time by skipping the company's first major briefing for analysts and bankers last week.

The lead underwriter for the IPO is investment bank Morgan Stanley which will be featured in an upcoming video that will be shown when Facebook begins courting investors.

North Sea - Total says no blast risk as North Sea gas leak drama

Published on Mar 29, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ The French oil giant, Total, has dismissed the risk of a blast at its Elgin North Sea platform despite efforts continuing to stem leaking natural gas.

The firm says a flame on the rig off the east coast of Scotland has to remain burning to prevent excess gas pressure from building up.

According to Total's spokesman Pierre-Emmanuel Saulnier the material being thrown into the atmosphere is not dagerous or excessive: "it's around 30 cubic metres. That's about the size of half an articulated lorry. It's too much of course, but it's not going to have a significant impact on the environment."

Total is said to be considering drilling a relief well that would allow the flow of gas to be shut off, or blocking the well with heavy mud. Either way, some experts say an "explosion is waiting to happen."

Environmentalist, Benoit Hartman, from France Nature said: "Hydrocarbons are becoming more and more difficult to find as they're drying up. So we're having to look for non-conventional hydrocarbons which are difficult to extract and normally aren't profitable. But now they're becoming so because fuel prices are increasing. This means we can expect more accidents like this."


The Scottish government has called for more information from Total as memories are still raw in the North Sea industry of the Piper Alpha platform fire 24 years ago, when 167 people were killed in the world's deadliest offshore oil disaster.

Cuba - Pope calls for an end to 50 year US embargo

Published on Mar 29, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ On his third and final day in Cuba, Pope Benedict has called for an end to the 50-year-long US trade embargo while urging the communist island to change.

Throughout his visit the Pope has made thinly-veiled references to Cuban dissidents, and the need for economic reforms.

On his departure his last message was aimed at the United States.

"Cuba could build a society of broad vison, renewed and reconciled," he said, but it was more difficult "when restrictive economic measures, imposed from outside the country, unfairly burden its people."

Earlier Benedict had welcomed Fidel Castro at the Vatican embassy in Havana. The 85-year-old is the brother of president Raul Castro and the island's first revolutionary leader. During the half-hour meeting, Castro asked the Pontiff to choose a book for him to read and to reflect upon.

Spain - (General Strike) Huelga General Castilla y León Paralizado el sector industrial

Uploaded by on Mar 29, 2012
http://www.rtvcyl.es/Noticias.aspx | Los centros industriales de la Comunidad están prácticamente paralizados, al igual que los principales mercados centrales a consecuencia de la huelga general. Aunque no se han registrado altercados de calado, los piquetes han bloqueado desde primeras horas de la madrugada los accesos a los principales polígonos industriales de las nueve provincias de Castilla y León, donde en empresas de peso como Renault, Michelín y Nissan el seguimiento está siendo elevado.

De momento, en Valladolid dos personas han sido trasladadas a las comisarías de Policía por diversos incidentes, si bien uno de ellos, perteneciente a UGT, ya ha salido en libertad. El otro, que se encontraba en las puertas de Mercaolid y pertenecía a CCOO, continúa en la Comisaría de Policía, según fuentes sindicales.

Además, en Burgos, ha habido un intento se sabotaje a un repetidor de RTVE. La Guardia Civil detectó a una persona huyendo y localizó cuatro cócteles molotov y varias pastillas incendiarias en el repetidor que está colocado a la altura del kilómetro 235 de la carretera A-1, en el paraje del Monte de la Abadesa, según informaron fuentes de la Delegación del Gobierno.

A estas horas, entre los empleados del Estado la huelga está teniendo un seguimiento "nulo", del 2,4 por ciento; en los accesos a los hospitales no hay problemas, y en las estaciones de trenes la actividad está parada, ya que no se fijaron servicios mínimos.

ÁVILA

En la provincia de Ávila, en la factoría Nissan el seguimiento del paro general es del 100%, según UGT. El piquete informativo acudió a la entrada de la fábrica a las 6.30 horas y abandonó el lugar una hora después dado que sólo tres directivos y un encargado de una subcontrata quisieron acceder a las instalaciones. Junto a ellos, los únicos trabajadores de Nissan que han entrado en la factoría son los siete que constituían los servicios mínimos.

Los servicios mínimos establecidos para los autobuses urbanos no han podido operar en su totalidad puesto que los piquetes informativos han impedido la salida de cuatro de los siete autobuses que debían circular. Además, tres contenedores ardieron durante la noche en la zona sur de la ciudad, en las proximidades de la Plaza de Toros, y el Centro de Educación Infantil y Primaria Reina Fabiola de Bélgica ha amanecido con silicona en las cerraduras.

Las primeras horas han transcurrido con normalidad en los servicios de limpieza y recogida de basuras, ya que han podido circular los servicios mínimos. Tampoco ha habido problemas destacados en los accesos al polígono industrial de Vicolozano.

BURGOS

En Burgos, los principales polígonos se encuentran paralizados. Los primeros sondeos realizados por la Confederación de Asociaciones Empresariales (FAE) ponen de manifiesto la imposibilidad de los trabajadores de las empresas de los principales polígonos de la capital, Gamonal y Villalonquéjar, y en otros más pequeños como el de Los Brezos, de Villalbilla, de acceder a sus puestos de trabajo. El turno de Firestone de noche apenas fue ocupado por los empleados de la fábrica de automoción.

Un piquete compuesto bloqueó desde primeras horas las cocheras municipales de autobuses urbanos, ubicadas en la carretera de Poza. A las 9 de la mañana no ha salido ninguno de los siete autobuses urbanos establecidos como servicios mínimos.

Лавика тексты - В городе весна
.
В городе весна, просыпается утро
Машины полусонные мигают кому-то
И ты не замечаешь как уходит простуда
Тает словно снежная пудра.
Ты идешь одна по аллеям кварталов
Немного влюблена, это только начало
И думаешь о нем, как тебе не хватало
Как давно его искала.
Припев:
В городе весна, плывут троллейбусы по лужам
Теперь ты знаешь как он нужен, ты ему нужна.
А в городе весна, и пусть пока вы не знакомы
Но у любви свои законы, ты ему нужна.
В городе весна, просыпаются люди
По улицам осколки отломившихся судеб
А нас соединяет и никто не осудит
Счастье падает на блюде.
Главные слова поменяют надежды
Весна всегда права, и любовь неизбежна
И ты идешь одна не теряя надежды
По страницам белоснежным.
В городе весна, плывут троллейбусы по лужам
Теперь ты знаешь как он нужен, ты ему нужна.
А в городе весна, а она любви составит списки
И кто-то станет самым близким. В городе весна.
Проигрыш.
Припев:
В городе весна, плывут троллейбусы по лужам
Теперь ты знаешь как он нужен, ты ему нужна.
А в городе весна, и пусть пока вы не знакомы
Но у любви свои законы, ты ему нужна.
В городе весна, плывут троллейбусы по лужам
Теперь ты знаешь как он нужен, ты ему нужна.
А в городе весна, а она любви составит списки
И кто-то станет самым близким. В городе весна.

RIM (RIMM) Aims to Avoid Fifth Straight Sales Miss as CEO Seeks Rebound

Uploaded by on Mar 28, 2012
Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM), having missed estimates for four straight quarters, is seeking to avoid another disappointment tomorrow as investors look for signs that its new chief's turnaround plan is beginning to take hold.

RIM shares have tumbled 16 percent on average the day after earnings since March 2011 according to a Bloomberg report. Analysts predict the maker of BlackBerry smartphones will say sales fell at the fastest pace in a decade, causing the Waterloo, Ontario-based company to miss its own forecast for the three months through March 3.



The quarterly results are the first for Thorsten Heins, the German-born chief executive officer who took over in January and has vowed to do something "dramatically different" to reverse the sales slump. For now, Heins has to rely on an aging product lineup to win back users lost to Apple (AAPL) Inc.'s iPhone and devices running Google Inc. (GOOG)'s Android software, before a new generation of BlackBerrys makes its debut later this year.


Sales probably declined 19 percent to $4.51 billion last quarter, the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. On Dec. 15, RIM predicted $4.6 billion to $4.9 billion. Profit per share excluding one-time items probably fell by more than half to 81 cents, the low end of RIM's forecast of 80 cents to 95 cents.
RIM may also give a forecast for this quarter. Analysts project further declines, with sales dropping to $4.26 billion and earnings sliding to 66 cents a share.

Дилайс Текст - Самою святою
.
Между простынями из облаков
Падаем в горящую любовь
И знают небеса, что я твоя
Умоляю, не смотри назад

Боль, ночь без сна
И тепло рук твоих
Смело скажу тебе
Обещаю

Припев:
Я остаюсь с тобою самою святою
Позабудь о боли, просто будь со мной
Я остаюсь с тобою самою святою
И знай, что так должно быть
И в руках я твоих

Ангелы решили, что ты мой
И на нас обрушилась любовь волной
Трещины и раны залечу
Будь уверен, я не отпущу

Боль, ночь без сна
И тепло рук твоих
Смело скажу тебе
Обещаю

Припев (2 раза)
.

Google translation

Between the sheets of clouds
Fall into a burning love
And heaven knows that I'm yours
Please, do not look back

Pain, a sleepless night
And the warmth of your hands
Feel free to tell you
I promise

Chorus:
I'm staying with you holy samoyu
Forget about the pain, just be with me
I'm staying with you holy samoyu
And know that it should be
And I was in the hands of your

Angels have decided that you're mine
And we love the wave struck
Cracks and sores to lie
Be sure I will not let go

Pain, a sleepless night
And the warmth of your hands
Feel free to tell you
I promise

Chorus (2x)

At some point in the recent past you seem to have gotten the impression that, having made a commitment to certain plans, you owe it to others to keep those arrangements afloat. While they were passionate about them at the time, things have changed and so have their priorities. And so, too, must those plans.
