• It's official: There will not be any IPOs on U.S. markets in January 2016, making it the first January shutout since 2009. For context, there were 15 such offerings in January 2015, including Box, Shake Shack and Spark Therapeutics.

• Transition: USAA, the military-linked insurance and financial services giant, last year quietly experienced a massive turnover in its corporate venture capital program (deals have included TrueCar, Care.com, Prosper, Coinbase and Narrative Science).

I dug into USAA Ventures' history, troubles and future, and you can read it by going here.

• Today in Theranos: Walgreens has suspended Theranos lab services in its flagship Palo Alto wellness center, and also told the company to stop sending any blood collected by Walgreens wellness center to the controversial Newark, Calif. lab.

• Since some have asked: No, Staples still has not commented on its layoffs, nor even confirmed that they occurred. On the other hand, a Massachusetts Labor Dept. spokesperson emailed me the following: "Our team that helps people affected by layoffs spoke with company officials and plans to go out to the Framingham headquarters this week to offer assistance to workers. The company said they are not sure how many people will ultimately be affected."

• Nothing to see here: I watched all two hours of Trump-less GOP debate last night, figuring that there might finally be some substantive discussion of economic policy. But I was wrong. And the blame belongs to the Fox News Channel moderators ― not the candidates ― who didn't ask a single question about the economy, taxes or jobs.

In fact, "jobs" were only referenced three times in the entire debate: By John Kasich when touting his record in Ohio, by Ted Cruz in his litany of Obamacare consequences and by moderator Brett Baier in a question about climate change. I guess that's better than "education," which was said exactly once (by Jeb Bush, in his closing comments).

• Have a great weekend!
