Renewed from PageA1 ALL BUSINESS: Don't read too much into parallels between Coogle, Blackstone IPOs NEW YORK Blackstone Group's founder Stephen Schwarzman sounded more like Tony Soprano than the head of a soon-to-be public company when he talked to a newspaper about wanting to "kill off' his private-equity rivals. That's far from the "don't be evil" comments made by Google's leaders ahead of its IPO three years ago. It's a contrast worth notrng as Blackstone enters the public markets and seems to be following a similar script to the days surrounding Google 's $!.66 billion stock offering back 2004. There certainly are parallels between the two - hot companies in hot sectors offering up much-hyped stocks. But that doesn't mean Blackstone is destined to be the next Google, with a share price that goes up on day one and never looks back. · Blackstone is the world's second-largest private-equity fum, controlling a roster of names like Madame Tussauds wax museums and teal estate company Equity Office Properties Trust. Its business has been booming, tallying $2.27 billion in profits in '2006. Its !PO is expected to be the sixth largest in U.S. history with the sale of a 12.3 percent stake in its management division. At an offering price of $29 to $31 a share, that could raise as much as $4.14 billion and give the company a market valuation of $32 billion. The IPO will not only give investors a chance to gain access to the private-equity business, but it also will lavish investment banks- who are underwriting the IPO and who do much of their dealmaking with buyout firms - with a giant windfall. Given the great anticipation for the offering, Blackstone 's new stock is expected to see a nice surge right out of the gate much like Google's initial gains after its August 2004 IPO when its shares rose more than 20 percent in a week's time. Back then, Google's stock climb was somewhat surprising given the troubles that cropped up right before the IPO .. While it was the most-watched IPO of 2004 and considered a barometer of the recovering technology market after the dot-com bust, reason s to not buy the stock seemed to mouill by the day. Competitive pressures in the Internet search engine business were rising, ·while technology stocks were swooning in the stock market, raising questions ab<;>ut whether · the timing was right for an IPO. . Google also got flack for the auction model it used to set its offeri ng price and di stri bute shares.

AP BUSINESS WRITER Reader Services Pagei\4 ual in vestors, even though it was targeted at them, and Wall Street didn't like that Google was defying its conventional wisdom on how to run an IPO. Then came Playboy magazine's interview with Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. It's not what they said - they talked about Google's history and their aspirations to make the world a better place - it was the timing .of the article. The release in the midst of what is known as the preIPO "quiet period" almost thwarted the offering .. . Yet all that ultimately didn't spook investors. Once Google hit the markets with an IPO price of $85 a share, its climb began. Nearly three years- later, Google has gained more dominance on the Web, and its stock has soared to more than $500 a share. Blackstone can only hope things go the same way. Like Google, the months before the offering haven 't been trouble free. For one, interest rates have shot higher, boosting the cost of debt that Blackstone relies on so heavi ly to finance its deals. That could put a drag on the buyout boom, which has been on a record-setting run. Washington put a bull'seye, on Blackstone's hack last week, with a hill that could jack up the tax rate for private-f!quity lirms in the coming years. That would knock down profits for Blackstone and others, which have taken advantage of a two-decade old pro vis,ion that allows investors in publicly traded partnerships to pay capital-gains taxes of 15 percent on their share of the firm 's income. Corporations are currently taxed as much as 35 percent. Blackstone's compensation of its leaders also has been met with sharp criticism. Schwarzman received cash payouts worth nearly $400 million last year, and stands to cash in as much as $677.2 million of his stake during the IPO. And like Google, there's a much talked about interview thi s one had Schwarzman gabbing to The Wall Street Journal about how he operates his buyout firm. Like Google, that was met with scrutiny by the Securities. and Exchange Commission. ··1want war - not a series of skirmishes," Schwarzman said of his philosophy in a story published in the paper on June 13. "I always think about what will kill off the other bidder." None of those issues will di,sappear fa st, so potential Blackstone in vestors have to weigh the risks before getting into this stock. That's why watching how Black stone 's sh ares f:rre long after their opening day really will matter.

The differences I I between the roommates are unmistakable, but the pitcher and catcher both played key roles in the Nationals' 3-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday. After devising a pitching plan at their three-bedroom apartment Sa)urday night, Simontacchi shut down the Indians for six innings and Flores drove in two runs to help Washington take two of three in the series. "It was a matter of us .staying with the .game plan, and it worked," Simontacchi said. · Simontacchi. a 33-yearold journeyman from California, and Flores, a 22year-old Venezuelan playing in his first niajor league season, were both looking for an apartment earlier this spring. They decided it was logical to Iive together. Flores is .washington 's backup catcher, so he doesn't reg ularly catch Simontacchi. But with Flores' calling pitches Sunday, Simontacchi rebounded from a miserable outing in his previous start. H~ allowed one run and four hits with one walk. In a 15-1 loss to Detroit on Tuesday, the right-hander gave up a franchise-record tying IOruns on 10 hits in three mnmgs.

Not known for his patience. the Colombian driver showed plenty of it Sunday. He used his wellhoned road-racing skill to save his tires, stretch his fuel to the limit, and win the Toyota/Save Mart 350 for his .first NASCAR Nexte1 I) Cup victory. · Team owner Chip Ganassi, who lured Montoya back to America from. Formula One, was as impressed .as anyone by the win and the way Montoya did it. "One of the nice things, working with him again, is he's matured in a way as a race driver that you could not write in a movie," said Ganassi, for whom Montoya won the 1999 CART championship and the 2000 Indianapolis 500. "He's a lot calmer, if you can imagine that. He actually came on the radio today and said, 'It's a little too early ·to race these guys.' I was Jookinjl at (crew chief Donnie) Wmgo and he was looking at me. Juan's a changed man, all in a positive way." _ Montoya, who ~ualified a disappointing 31'nd in the 43~car fi'eld, was the first driver to win on the Northern California road circuit starting further back than 13th. Montoya, who jumped from Formula One to the stock car circuit late last season, got his first Cup win in his 17th start and gave Ganassi his first win in NASCAR's top . series since Jamie McMurray won in October 2002. "It's huge," Montoya said. "I would say right now it's the biggest thing I've done. In open-wheel, that's what I was meapt to be winning in . In stock cars, I wasn't.

The fans roared a!;ain as Griffey waved and tipped his cap after he caught the final out of the bottom of the eighth. "It was eventful, there · was a buzz," Seattle's Willie Bloomquist said of Griffey's trip back. "There were times when it felt like we were the visiting team. That was just a tribute to what he did for this city. I don't think there was an atbat when he didn 't get a standing ovation." The support was almost overwhelming for the slugger, who hinted he may return yet again to be a run s or fewer for the fourth time in the sl<id . He gave up I0 hits, struck out four and issued an intentional walk. Griffey also made a running, tumbling catch in right field - a position he asked back into before the game instead of his original · assignment as designated hitter. "It wouldn't be fair to the people of Seattle to just DH," he said, after asking manager Jerry Narron to put him back in right field. In the first inning, Griffey hit a 2-0 pitch from Bati sta . to left-center.

The second one was vintage Griffey, a no-doubt drive in the fifth reminiscent of the many he launched at the since- demolished Kingdome ac ross the street. He jumped all over Batista's first pitch fastball and sent it rocketing off an advert isement lining the 'second deck beyond ri ght field. Batista gave up five hits in six innings.

Rentech, a company whose chemical processes gasifiy coal and turn it into fuel, chemicals and other products, has an option on 400 acres in Lebanon Township, as a possible site for a new $3.8 billion facility. Development and elected officials met with company representatives Thursday to encourage the location of the plant in Meigs County. The site now under consideration is the same privatelyowned property proposed last year as one of two in Ohio for the federal government's FutureGen project. It adjoins property where American Electric Power plans to build a new IGCC clean-coal power plant. Studies of the site included work of a world-class engineering firm, Worley Parsons. The site was rejected for consideration for the FutureGen project, however, due to its proximity to Forked Run State Park, the Racine Locks and Dam, and a little-known wildlife refuge.
