M&A mania: 15 big wealth and fund management deals in 2013
Sponsored By:
by Elsa Buchanan on Dec 16, 2013 at 09:11
We take you through some of the eye-catching merger & acquisition activity of 2013.
January: BlackRock buys Credit Suisse's ETF business
At the beginning of the year, Credit Suisse ran a 58-strong exchange traded fund (ETF) business with a total of $17.6 billion in assets under management.
The deal complemented BlackRock's existing iShares arm and resulted in its ETF business swelling to 264 funds with $157.6 billion in assets under management based on end of 2012 figures.
At the time, BlackRock chairman Larry Fink commented: 'The acquisition we are announcing today represents BlackRock's continued commitment to the Swiss market and underpins the importance we place on meeting the needs of our clients.
'This transaction keeps with BlackRock's growth strategy in the region and provides the necessary scale and presence in the market to further enhance our product suite and deliver client solutions in Switzerland and all of Europe.'
February: Heartwood becomes subsidiary of Sweden's Handelsbanken
Swedish bank Handelsbanken gained a foothold in the UK wealth management market when it acquired Heartwood. Handelsbanken identified Heartwood's similar focus on long-term client relationships and high service as motives for the purchase.
At the time, former Wealth Manager cover star Simon Lough (pictured), who remained CEO of Heartwood, said: 'We were encountering Handelsbanken more and more frequently in our work with clients and quickly discovered the very close cultural fit between our organisations.'
He added: 'The Heartwood team has worked hard to build our business on the recommendation of clients we have served well, so partnership with Handelsbanken, which has grown on a very similar basis, is a very natural progression for our firm.'
Standard Life acquires Newton private client arm
The £83.5 million deal saw Standard Life Wealth triple its assets under management.
Newton's private client business had approximately 3,000 UK and international clients and a number of charity clients.All 79 Newton staff were transfered to Standard Life.
Richard Charnock, Standard Life Wealth chief executive commented: 'This acquisition complements Standard Life Wealth's impressive growth to date and provides us with a unique opportunity to accelerate our onshore and offshore strategy.
'We are bringing together additional skills, clients and assets to create a discretionary wealth manager of significant scale and market presence.'
Other bidders for Newton were understood to have included Rathbones and Quilter.
March: Royal London acquired Co-op's life and funds arms
Royal London took over Co-operative Banking Group's life insurance and funds business in a £220 million after a protracted negotiation process that required the intervention of the regulator.
Royal London first announced the proposed acquisition in July 2011, but talks took more than 18 months to arrive at a binding agreement.
The provider's assets swelled from £50 billion to £70 billion, and the fund business included Citywire AAA-rated Michael Fox's CIS Sustainable Leaders and CIS Sustainable World Trust funds.
March: Schroders buys Cazenove Capital
Wealth Manager revealed Cazenove Capital and Schroders were locked in bid talks during the first quarter, with the deal completed in July in a £424 million deal.
At the time, Schroders, led by chief executive Michael Dobson, was looking to acquire the boutique after its star UK equity manager Richard Buxton and two other members of its UK equity team - Errol Francis and Ed Meier - quit for Old Mutual Global Investors, although the two events were not necessarily connected.
Dobson told the market: ''This transaction creates a leading, independent private banking and wealth management business in the UK, and brings additional investment talent in complementary strategies across UK and European equities, multi-manager and fixed income to asset management. I am confident the transaction will create long-term value and benefits for clients, shareholders and employees.'
Cazenove chief Andrew Ross added: 'This is a very exciting development for Cazenove Capital. In combining with Schroders, we will create a pre-eminent independent private banking and charities business in the UK, with a broader capability covering investment management, financial planning, deposit-taking and lending services. This is also an excellent fit for our wealth management businesses in the Channel Islands and Asia.
March: Legal & General snaps up Cofunds
The deal had been anticipated since 2011, however Legal & General agreed to acquire the remaining 75% share capital of Cofunds.
At the time, Legal & General said it believed internet solutions would be one of its key drivers of growth in the years ahead and that the agreement would give it the scale and distribution it needed in the investment platform market.
When unveiling the deal, Legal & General said assets under administration (AUA) in the platform space were set to double by 2017, with the acquisition of the UK's largest platform for financial services's £50 billion of AUA and a share of 22% of the market.
'Cofunds, alongside our existing platform Investor Portfolio Service, provides us with the scale and capability to be a major player in this important and growing market,' Mark Gregory, chief executive officer of savings at Legal & General commented at the time.
March: Credit Suisse bags Morgan Stanley's wealth business
Credit Suisse's acquisition of Morgan Stanley's European and Middle East wealth management businesses added $13 billion (£8.61 billion) worth of assets, and reinforced the bank's focus on the UK wealth management space.
The business was integrated into Credit Suisse's Private Banking and Wealth Management division.
April: City Financial buys OPM Fund Management
Wealth Manager revealed City Financial was taking on OPM Fund Management and its fund range, worth some £75.2 million in assets, for an undisclosed sum.
As part of the deal, OPM fund manager Tony Yousefian joined City Financial alongside business development manager Richard Carswell.
The acquisition increased City Financial's overall retail assets under management to £420 million.
Ed Rosengarten, head of UK asset management at City Financial, told Wealth Manager the board of OPM had opted to sell after evaluating its business model following the introduction of the retail distribution review (RDR).
July: Miton Group buys Psigma AM
Miton Group's £2 billion in assets were boosted to around £2.8 billion following the deal. PSigma's total assets under management were £750 million at the end of June, with UK income mandates representing the bulk of these.
Ian Dighé, executive chair of Miton Group, said: 'Bringing Bill Mott and his team together with Miton is a significant step forward to the benefit of our joint client base, particularly in the UK equity income sector.
'Both businesses have distinctive and forward-looking investment strategies. With combined assets under management of £2.8 billion, we will have an even stronger platform to accelerate the growth of our business.'

July: Psigma IM acquires AXA Framlington's private client business
Psigma Investment Management (PIM), which forms part of Punter Southall Group, took on the private client business and its £380 million in AUM as well as key staff including three portfolio managers, Rupert Hunter, Michael Firth and Jon Gould.
Announcing the agreement, John Howard-Smith (pictured), chief executive of PIM, said: 'It is our strategic ambition to become one of the UK's leading private client investment managers and this acquisition takes us one step closer to our goal.
'Rupert, Michael and Jon bring a combined experience of over 50 years and this will be highly valuable to PIM as we continue to build on our ambitious growth strategy.'
August: Credit Suisse spins off Johim
J O Hambro Investment Management (Johim) officially spun out of Credit Suisse, following the completion of its acquisition by Bermuda National Limited (BNL) for an undisclosed sum.
Following the sale, Johim's existing management continued to have autonomy over how the business is run, with management. At the end of June Johim had around £3.9 billion in assets under management.
At the time, Hugh Grootenhuis, chief executive of Johim, commented: 'To reflect the change in ownership, we are currently in the process of developing new branding, details of which we will announce shortly. There are no plans to change our people, business model or investment process.'
A week after officially spinning out of Credit Suisse Stephen Browne (pictured), director at Johim, told Wealth Manager how the firm was anticipating growth in its burgeoning international private client business.
September: Towry seals Bluefin deal
Towry took over Bluefin Personal Consulting (BPC) from AXA UK, its 1,500 clients, 19 advisers and 70 support staff. This was Towry's most notable acquisition since its takeover of Edward Jones in 2009.
Andrew Fisher (pictured), Towry's chief executive, said at the time: 'We are very pleased to have signed this agreement with BPC, whose advisers have demonstrated a strong track record in building trusted relationships with clients.
Towry's shopping spree didn't stop there though. Less than a month after the Bluefin acquisition, the firm announced it was also acquiring Aberdeenshire-based Conclusion Financial Planning.
The acquisition brought Towry a further 50 clients and £15 million in assets under advice.
November: Charles Stanley acquires Evercore Pan Asset
Pan Asset, which was co-founded by John Redwood (pictured), had £593 million assets under management, predominantly held in passive investment strategies.
Following the acquisition, the firm was integrated within Charles Stanley's funds division. At the time, Charles Stanley anticipated the integration would bring about cost savings, as it said Pan Asset had been operating near break even.The integration was expected to make it profitable straight away.
Charles Stanley director Mike Lilwall commented: 'The acquisition will complement the company's existing distribution channels by broadening Charles Stanley's expertise and product offering into the area of passives and in particular we foresee opportunities to enhance our increasing offering to the financial adviser market place.'
November: Aberdeen seals £550m Swip acquisition
After months of speculation, Aberdeen sealed one of 2013's most anticipated acquisitions.
The purchase, which added £136 billion to Aberdeen's client assets, was supported by the issue of 131.8 million new shares to Swip owner Lloyds, equivalent to 9.9% of current market cap, in addition to a £100 million payment conditional on five-year performance.
'This transaction is significant for the long-term prospects of Aberdeen in a number of ways,' said Martin Gilbert, Aberdeen chief executive.
'We are confident that this transaction will deliver considerable additional value to our expanded client base and this will therefore benefit our shareholders.'
November: Permira beat rival bidders to buy Deutsche's Tilney business
Wealth Manager revealed private equity group Permira is set to buy Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management's Tilney business.
Although details are still unknown, Permira is in the final stages of talks to buy Deutsche's regional network and the bulk of the former Tilney business for an undisclosed sum.
Deutsche's UK wealth management business is expected to retain a presence in London alongside the portfolios it runs for ultra-high net worth clients.
The decision is understood to have been motivated by a desire to withdraw from the regions. The firm currently has offices in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool.
Since Tilney was acquired in 2006 it has been largely loss-making for Deutsche, posting a £9.5 million pre-tax loss in 2012, following an £8.9 million loss in 2011. At the end of 2012 Tilney's assets stood at £4.6 billion.
It is understood that Brown Shipley was in the running until a late stage.
The news came shortly after Permira sealed a deal to buy Bestinvest.

My father, a man who has always danced to his own drummer, is perhaps the only person I know who celebrates Groundhog Day. Sometimes he sends Groundhog Day cards and gifts to his kids and grandkids, and I know that he once attended that famous ceremony in Punxsutawney, Pa., which takes place today at 7:25 a.m.
Yes, today's the day when officials dress in their tuxes and top hats to gather on Gobblers Knob and consult Punxsutawney Phil, that famous prognosticating rodent. If Phil sees his shadow, he will announce six more weeks of winter; if he doesn't we may be welcoming an early spring .
No offense to my dad, but I read in a children's book the other day that Phil's predictions have only been accurate one-third of the time. This means that even though Phil has not been accurate two-thirds of the time, people keep gathering at 7:25 a.m. in rural Punxsutawney to consult Phil and perhaps get a glimpse of his famous wife Phyllis. And this has been going on for 127 years!
This reminds me of our weather forecasters. Just like Phil, those weather forecasters keep doing their thing and we keep listening. The other day, as we were bracing for a snowstorm and nothing materialized, I thought, "Why do I give credence to anything that they say?"
I think if you want to know the weather, it is much more intelligent to walk outside your door and take a look. Sorry if I'm knocking a lovely tradition, Dad, but I don't think it's smart to rely on weather forecasters or groundhogs for this information.

Standup comedian Brooks McBeth has a career that has taken him many, many places. He's written for Mad TV and Almost Live, appeared in television and film, but nothing compares to standing on his hometown stage -- the Enumclaw Expo Center.
McBeth grew up in Renton, but his family is from Enumclaw and Lake Tapps so this show is a special one for him.
"Can't wait for Dec. 22 in Enumclaw! Went to Pete's Pool... more cement than I remember," said McBeth. "Next stop – the pickle factory and then the Hornet's nest! Living the dream!"
Opening the Enumclaw show is an old friend, John Keister from Almost Live.
"Please forgive me for any jokes made in the past," said Keister.
Tickets are available now to see Brooks McBeth and John Keister on stage at the Enumclaw Expo Center on Dec. 22, but they are going fast. Get yours at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/285146

Speaker of the House John Boehner will be coming to St. James to help raise money for Randy Altschuler as money continues to pour into the rematch between the Republican challenger and incumbent Democrat Tim Bishop.
According to Newsday, Boehner, R-Ohio, will be attending a fundraiser at the private home of Stephen and Carolyn Louro in Nissequogue, not far from Altschuler's St. James residence.
As the two candidates started debating last week, ads have been hitting the airwaves and fliers from several different organizations — namely, state committees and super PACs — started arriving in potential voters' mailboxes.
, topping Altschuler by fewer than 600 votes after more than 180,000 votes were cast.
Boehner will visit Suffolk Oct. 10, reportedly making a couple of other fundraising stops in New York while he's in the area. Newsday reports that tickets at the private party start at $250, with VIP photo ops going for $1,000 and a VIP roundtable for $5,000.
Louro, named one of Long Island Business News' top 40 under 40 in 2001, founded Professional Group Plans in the early 1990s and according to tax records, pays one of the highest property tax bills in Smithtown — more than $80,000 last year.
Louro's company is headquartered in the Hauppauge Industrial Park, with additional locations in New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut. PGP employs more than 100 people, and specializes in offering group health insurance to other companies.

Rally star Ken Block gets Hot Wheels line
Rally driver Ken Block isn't the only one who gets to play around with his Monster/Ford Racing rally car.
In time for the holidays, Mattel has created a special line of Hot Wheels toys based on Block's Ford Fiesta race car.
"This is a dream come true. I never actually thought I'd have my own line of Hot Wheels cars," Block said.
The line includes the traditional 1/64-scale die-cast car and two remote-controlled cars--the Nitro Speedsters Ford Fiesta, with a self-contained controller and racer unit, for $26, and the R/C Fiesta Stunt Car, with a scale speed of 0-to-80 mph in two seconds. This runs $45.
The Ken Block Hot Wheels lineup is available at Toys "R" Us, Walmart, Target, Kmart and Pep Boys.

Oakley Takes Home 20 WX 15 Medals: 10 Gold, 5 Silver & 5 Bronze
Oakley athletes were on a rampage on the final day of Winter X Games 15, raking in another eight medals and bringing the final Oakley medal count to an impressive 20 Winter X Games medals.
"This was a fantastic X Games for the Oakley Brand," said Pat McIlvain, Oakley Sports Marketing VP. "Led by an incredible athlete team laying it on the line, our exposure and brand leadership was at all time high. With our sponsorship and commercials, we had the ability to communicate a stronger brand message to a much wider audience."
One of the most anticipated events of the Games, Men's Snowboard Superpipe, was well worth the wait as Shaun White came back after not qualifying for Men's Slopestyle for the first time in nine appearances to lay down one of his best Superpipe runs ever. He was rewarded with a massive 97.33 points and ran away with the gold. "Tonight was a great night," said White. "I can't describe the feeling. All the other riders were amazing and it forced me to do my absolute best. I am so happy to have another one of these gold medals around my neck."
The buzz about Shuan White's absence in the Men's Snowboard Slopestyle Final was quickly overtaken by talk about Winter X Games rookie Sebastien Toutant. Toutant first found his way onto the podium Friday night, when he claimed silver in Big Air, but the young Canadian wasn't done there. Come Sunday afternoon, he executed a flawless run to snag his first X Games gold medal. "I had no expectations, I just came here to have fun and be with all of my friends at my first X Games," said the 18-year-old Montreal native. "Just to be invited was crazy. After the Big Air, when I got silver, I was thinking I might be able to do really well in Slopestyle as well. I put it down and made it happen and it is a dream come true."
Joining Toutant on the podium was fellow Oakley athlete and rookie Mark McMorris who grabbed the silver medal with a score of 90.00 to Seb's 93.00 points.
Another fan favorite is always the Snowmobile Best Trick event where the entertainment level is as high as the tricks. Daniel Bodin, who won his first gold medal earlier this week in Freestyle Snowmobile, hucked a massive double grab backflip for 96.00 points and the gold medal. "That is the biggest one I have ever done," said Bodin. "I have done it before, but I have never landed it on snow. I just had to do it."
Last year's Best Trick gold medalist Heath Frisby joined his Oakley teammate on the podium, taking home the bronze medal for his tsunami backflip.
Rounding out Oakley's rash of gold medals was Josh Dueck on the Mono Skier X course, who got out to a quick lead and never looked back. "It's pretty good; it's the most fun I've had in a long time," an overwhelmed Dueck said. "Just the community of people that's around here – it's like a big old family – they kept my equipment in order and made it real easy for me to do what I love to do. It's the most fun ever, it's amazing."
Chris Del Bosco took an early lead in the Men's Skier X final after clocking the fastest qualifying time by a full two seconds, but another gold was not in the stars for the defending champ. In a stunning photo finish Del Bosco finished just half of a ski behind race winner John Teller. "I tried to stay as tight as I could getting into the finish jump and I kind of skipped off the top a little bit," explained Del Bosco. "I gained a little bit but there's just no room after the finish jump once you hit the jump and basically landing to cross the finish line, so I just kind of ran out of room."
It was a similar story for Oakley teammate Jenny Jones, the reigning Slopestyle queen. Jones took the silver medal in this year's Women's Snowboard Slopestyle event with a score of 89.33 behind rookie Enni Rukajarvi. "I would have loved a third gold," said Jones. "But I am stoked to be on the podium. Congrats to Enni on her first Winter X Games and her first gold."
All in all, it was another great Winter X Games with the astounding performances by all the athletes, blue bird skies all week long and record crowd of 114,200 people at Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colo. Winter X 15 is one to be remembered.

Associated Press
MOBILE, Ala. —
Passengers pulling into an Alabama port after days aboard a disabled cruise ship are shouting "Hello, Mobile" and "Roll Tide" to hundreds of people gathered at the terminal.
Despite their obvious excitement, passengers who have described miserable conditions aboard still have hours to wait Thursday and into today before they can walk on solid ground.
Carnival Cruise Lines has said once the ship is stationary, it will take up to five hours for all of the 3,000 or so passengers to disembark.
Anxious passengers are lining the decks waving, cheering loudly and whistling to those on shore.
Passengers have the option of a seven-hour bus ride to the Texas cities of Galveston or Houston or a two-hour trip to New Orleans. Buses are standing by to take them to their next stop.

Eric Jackson, Contributor
I cover the business of technology.
Google (GOOG) announced last night that it would create a triple class structure, to ensure the founders and Eric Schmidt hold on to full control of the company forever even as they use more stock for employee compensation.
There's nothing really new here. Google has always had this unfounded fear of shareholder accountability going back to their 2004 IPO letter.
Here's what they said then:
"We are creating a corporate structure that is designed for stability over long time horizons. By investing in Google, you are placing an unusual long term bet on the team, especially Sergey and me, and on our innovative approach…
We want Google to become an important and significant institution. That takes time, stability and independence…
In the transition to public ownership, we have set up a corporate structure that will make it harder for outside parties to take over or influence Google. This structure will also make it easier for our management team to follow the long term, innovative approach emphasized earlier…
The main effect of this structure is likely to leave our team, especially Sergey and me, with increasingly significant control over the company's decisions and fate, as Google shares change hands…
New investors will fully share in Google's long term economic future but will have little ability to influence its strategic decisions through their voting rights…
Our colleagues will be able to trust that they themselves and their labors of hard work, love and creativity will be well cared for by a company focused on stability and the long term…
As an investor, you are placing a potentially risky long term bet on the team, especially Sergey and me. …. Sergey and I are committed to Google for the long term."
Here's what they said yesterday:
In our experience, success is more likely if you concentrate on the long term. Technology products often require significant investment over many years to fulfill their potential. For example, it took over three years just to ship our first Android handset, and then another three years on top of that before the operating system truly reached critical mass. These kinds of investments are not for the faint-hearted.
We have protected Google from outside pressures and the temptation to sacrifice future opportunities to meet short-term demands. Long-term product investments, like Chrome and YouTube, which now enjoy phenomenal usage, were made with a significant degree of independence.
We have a structure that prevents outside parties from taking over or unduly influencing our management decisions. However, day-to-day dilution from routine equity-based employee compensation and other possible dilution, such as stock-based acquisitions, will likely undermine this dual-class structure and our aspirations for Google over the very long term. We have put our hearts into Google and hope to do so for many more years to come. So we want to ensure that our corporate structure can sustain these efforts and our desire to improve the world.
But the truth is that Larry and Sergey have got it exactly wrong. Their archaic and paranoid governance structure has made them less innovative over time, not more.
Everyone from Silicon Valley loves to champion it to the rest of the world as the cradle of innovation. And this is true. Some of the greatest technology companies and innovations have come from there.
Silicon Valley's legacy will always be Apple (AAPL), Intel (INTC), Google (GOOG) and now Facebook (FB). But there's another part of the Silicon Valley legacy that Valley types like to sweep under the carpet: Xerox PARC.
Xerox PARC came up with a bunch of great innovations – and yet they did nothing with them. They got copied by others, but were never capitalized on by Xerox (XRX) itself. They also had a lot of spending down rat holes projects. There are many reasons for why this happened: weak leadership locally, absentee owners, little accountability, a false sense of security/overconfidence of those who worked there.
That's a lot of maybe.
Eric, this is a terrible article and you should feel bad.
Your basic premise is that Google's leadership is unduly paranoid of shareholders who would demand cost cutting. You then proceed to demand cost cutting. This is why they don't give people like you significant voting rights.
You compare Google to Xerox PARC to justify cutting research, noting that Xerox failed to capitalize on its research. But it sounds like you would rather they never did any research at all. Meanwhile Google is pushing its research projects to market fairly aggressively.
Great article, but insulating itself from the shareholders/gamblers who are focused on next quarter results, even at the expense of the long term health of the company, is brilliant in my opinion if it is possible. It's definitly a balancing act so in many ways I agree with you, but wallstreet is not a source of innovation and it is a rare shareholder (not employed by the organization) that is concerned with the long term success of the company (i.e., going to buy and hold shares for 5+ years). R&D is one of the first cuts to be made to appease the street, and far to many companies with rotating CEOs hollow out an organzation's innovation engine for a few solid years of performance only to leave a company with little ability to compete in the mid to long term.
I believe you are suffering from Google paranoia, not the other way around.
Most of your premises are based on huge assumptions. I am wondering about a big one – how do you find this to be true? "Larry and Sergey didn't need "time, stability, and independence" to create Google."
Yea, right.
I see someone doesn't like all those large android screens while he puts his reading glasses on to read his biased articles on his Iphone.
Great article that really gets at the heart of the Google problem, and potential reasoning for it.
Little 'real' innovation from google that has actually been succesful enough to bring them real money. Stock has really gone nowhere unless you are buying on the huge dips.
Think this is a good exit point to leave and never comeback.
Thanks for your article. I have to agree that when you compare apple to google, apple wins. In fact, all companies fail to apple. I like the things that google sets up to do because my favorite company as a customer is google.
Eric, the point at this time is, my accusations are clearly stated while you dare not deny them, other than personal attacking me, and also I had challenged the officer who's responsible for this case, while he/she dare not reply, all of which would make people more curious of what did you involve and more believe in what I said
Proof of real names, dates, photos along with a police case number are listed in my blog link [ http://tysurl.com/BsEnQ4 ]
This case regards to people with great powers as Eric Schmidt is, and also regards to crimes as serious as viciously threatening other people's life; already someone like May Zhou mysteriously died; if the case could not be clarified or leave any points dubious and obscure, it will cost more people's lives in the future. At either moral or legal fronts, there is a necessity to clarify the case to the public.
On 2012/02/21 StanfordDaily article "virtual-learning" [http://www.stanforddaily.com/2012/02/21/virtual-learning/] in Comments part regarding to a murder case about a Stanford student May Zhou with which Eric Schmidt had threatened my life for sake of a Stanford professor Sebastian Thrun and a criminal suspect named Gabriele Scheler during their fight with Stanford:
About your ARROGANT question "If you think you have evidence (and i mean physical evidence) to the contrary why do you not take it to the police, or at least post what evidence you have (and I mean PHYSICAL evidence like fibres, DNA, fingerprints and the like)."
I am not physically in America, so I'd rather communicate with the police officer who's respnosible for May Zhou's case via email to tell serious stuff, my contact [firstname.lastname@example.com] , or we could discuss it right here on this board. Before the officer who's responsible would contact me for a serious discussion, how could you know there is no such PHYSICAL evidence to say May Zhou's death is definitely a murder but not a suicide? As a matter of fact, such PHYSICAL evidence already exists and that's what I am going to tell.
The point at this time is, who is this officer who's respnosible for May Zhou's case, whom I should talk to? Could you have me connect with this officer? I have serious stuff to report
Meanwhile, why don't you help us to figure out what's the motivation behind May Zhou's death

"Was copying Internet Explorer innovating?"
Right, and Ferrari isn't innovative because Ford was around before them. iPods weren't innovative because we already had the NOMAD.
With an attitude like that, you could argue that almost anything isn't innovative because most progress is evolutionary. Some of the most significant innovation happens in the details. And if you think Chrome isn't an innovative browser because Internet Explorer was around first, then I'm not convinced you understand the details of the tech world.
I'm sure you're a very smart guy with a great understanding of business, but _no one_ with any tech credibility would ever say that Chrome is just "copying Internet Explorer."
My thoughts exactly! Thanks for beating me to it.
If "copying" means creating a faster, simpler browser that was rapidly iterating (and adding INNOVATIONS) to make the web better. Then tech companies need to do more "copying" The same way ipods "copied" walkmans? The same can be said about Gmail with Yahoo mail.
That is not the main point of this article which I disagree with for reasons people already inferred but I thought we perhaps need to set business writers straight on tech issues.
I completely agree – it's not copying when you take a concept, redesign, and create something far superior. If it was merely copying, how do you explain the mass adoption? It's not like Chrome is tied to an operating system, such as Windows. If you've seen the latest version of MS Explorer, you'll see they've copied Chrome's layout. I would rather these guys NOT be accountable to the shareholders to the extent that their focus is driven to please short term stock value.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Let them run their business – the average shareholder, and even the non-average shareholder, and a bunch of bean counters do not know squat about innovation or innovation excellence. It's true – too many companies focus on present shareholder value, instead of long term growth, and the focus on that can hurt a company's long term investments.
I think you should take a look at this article about MySpace – artificial constraints and focus on revenue, instead of long-term growth, can KILL a company.
I'll buy your argument to the extent of saying the stated reasoning is BS. However, I fully agree with the concept. Too many stockholders are only interested in getting rich quick and are not investing. I don't have any regard for someone whose horizon is less than five years; they're called speculators and don't deserve any consideration for their market manipulation.
It is really sad to read this article. So much assumptions and anti-google propaganda, not trustworthy at all. What do you know about innovation within Google? not much what I can read in your article. This kind of very angled articles is one reason for me to stop reading Forbes….
This is essentially the short term argument that has killed so many tech companies…show us the money now and forget about the long term when short term gains could be had.
Google is a long term company, positioning themselves to be around for many decades when hundreds of other companies in the technology space have risen and then flamed out. They are doing this by making long term (6-8 year) bets that simultaneously protect their core cash machine (advertising), engage and endear users, lock in users through product integration, and play offense through defense by releasing products that competitors must divert resources to respond to.
Their model is not pure "invention," but rather taking existing products and making them much, much, better (Search vs. Alta Vista, Gmail vs. Yahoo mail, Google Maps vs. Mapquest, Chrome vs. IE, Google Docs vs. Office, Google+ vs. Facebook/Twitter). They have a long track record of success, it just takes several years.
Could they string out more revenue from Youtube, Chrome, Gmail, Android, Google Maps, etc. right now? Of course they could, but it would hurt them in the long term as they would alienate people/partners, etc.
I'm just fine owning a company that has shown extraordinarily consistent growth. You can only grow 25% for so long before your multiple stops compressing and your stock price starts rising. We can debate whether we are at the point yet, but we have to be close (Google essentially trades at a market multiple now).
Man, stick to reporting the stock market!….this is a very absurd article. This is the problem in the world, people commenting on stuff they do not understand. Chrome is not innovation? for you innovation means invention, right? Then Sir Isaac Newton would not have said that :"If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants."
Do mean Facebook did not innovate coz hi5 or Myspace were the 1st in social networking business? Man, this article doesn't belong on Forbes. its shockingly substandard!!
One can just imagine what the world would have looked like if Xerox had patented their inventions: the mouse, the graphical user interface, ethernet, and bitmap graphics. All of which you're using to read this, which I used another Xerox invention – wysiwyg text editing – to write.
But it was a different world back then; it wasn't really until Apple started suing everyone in the late 80′s that the importance of patents was really hammered home in a big way.
And the patents are also why Xerox is not a good model to predict the future of Google. I think that for instance Google's numerous patents in robotics and self-driving cars will prove pretty important in the medium-term future.
Most of the comments are pretty hysterical, in the vein of: "why don't those dumb shareholders just let the Google founders fun the company"?
Because it's a PUBLIC company. Part of the deal in going public is ceding some control to the sources of public capital in return for that capital. Google (and others, most notably Facebook) are trying to have their cake and eat it too. Shareholders have a right to be annoyed at this behavior. That annoyance is masked by greed when share prices are exploding.
Google can take itself private and do what it wants. Then the point would be moot.
This post is a Joke. They are securing their grip on a company so it doesn't get dictated by people who don't have the love and passion for it as they do. They are the creators, they should be able to have any management structure they want. As long as they are fair then there should be no complaints. Once they secure this they can relax on all the legal garbage that floods the minds of innovators and focus on innovation. It isn't paranoid at all. Who doesn't want a piece of google? Who doesn't want to take it over? Are we serious right now?
Talking about Apple. Jobs had Apple ripped away from him and he had to claw tooth and nail to get it back. They have learned a valuable lesson from him.

Them stealing? Seriously? Go whine. Apple and Google are at the point they steal from each other. Sure Apple's inventions pointed some google minds in certain directions but it's called Market Trends. Smartphones are the current technology trend and will be for a long time. Why would google site back and not capitalize on it and make them better. Without competition we have take an iShit in my iToilet. Give me a break.
I see nothing wrong with keeping control of what they started, who would know better of the existing issues than the founders. There is always some J.as that feels he is entitled to his opinions because he owns a couple of shares. Unless I see a company or business loosing Capital I will not concern myself with some power trip a lot of traders are guilty of

August 2, 2014
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits plunged 26,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 359,000, a hopeful sign for the job market. It's the lowest level of weekly applications in nine weeks.
The Labor Department says the four-week average, a less volatile measure, declined 4,500 to 374,000. That's the first drop in six weeks.
Weekly unemployment applications are a measure of the pace of layoffs. When they consistently fall below 375,000, it typically indicates that hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
The weekly figures can be volatile, causing most economists to focus on the four-week average.
Other recent data have shown that layoffs have fallen to the lowest level in a decade. But hiring hasn't picked up enough to quickly lower the unemployment rate.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The Oklahoma women did the impossible Saturday afternoon at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
They could not, however, do it twice and because they couldn't, Bedlam's second chapter was a Cowgirls' operation.
OU's 83-62 loss was its third in four games and with No. 1 Baylor coming up Monday night at Lloyd Noble Center, only a gargantuan upset will keep it from becoming four of five.
"We have to regroup," coach Sherri Coale said.
They have plenty to regroup from.
Just maybe, the Sooners and Cowgirls played the most unlikely first half in the history of the sport.
At the game's third media timeout, 11:53 before the half, OU trailed 23-4. Yet, before the half was over, after a 25-2 run, OU was on top 29-26. Not long after that it was behind again, 34-29, before going into the half down 34-33.
But if coming from so far down to lead, all in the same half and away from home, was some kind of miracle, it was the Sooners' only one.
OU didn't convert its second post-intermission field goal until 15:10 remained. It was a Joanna McFarland 3-pointer, and OSU still had an eight-point lead.
The Cowgirls stretched their edge to 51-38 before the Sooners made it 51-45. The score began heading back the other way and never stopped. There's wasn't even a hint of a late Sooner rally.
"We didn't come out (of the half) with the fight we had in the first half," OU point guard Morgan Hook said. "We just kind of came out there and thought it was going to fall into our hands."
OU struggled to get going offensively in both halves, but the greater failing was defensive and on the glass.
Though the Cowgirls didn't approach hitting 50 percent of their shots, finishing at 43.3 percent (29 of 67), the Sooners still allowed two runs, either one of which would win most games
OSU scored on 7 of 8 possessions to establish its huge early lead. In the second half, the Cowgirls took it from 53-45 to 79-57, hardly enduring an empty possession in a span of less than 7 minutes on the clock. If the Cowgirls missed a shot, they grabbed the rebound and put it back in the basket.
"Giving up offensive rebounds, that's the statistic that tells the tale," Coale said. "You can survive not shooting well if you're not giving other teams extra possessions."
The Sooners didn't shoot well — 35.7 percent (20 of 56) — and they got outrebounded 49-36 and gave up 19 offensive rebounds.
Aaryn Ellenberg led OU with 22 of the quietest points she has scored all season. Nicole Griffin added 12 and six rebounds. Nicole Kornet, who came to life when OU struggled from its early deficit with a trio of 3-pointers, added 10 and five rebounds. Joanna McFarland finished with nine points and 10 rebounds.
The Sooners wasted a game in which they committed a season-low-tying 10 turnovers.
OSU had points and rebounds to go around for everybody, with Kendra Suttles finishing with 19 and eight, Liz Donahoe with 18 and eight, Toni Young with 17 and 12 and Tiffany Bias with 17 and four.
"We competed how we prepared for this game.," OSU coach Jim Littell said. "I told (the players) that I never know which team is going to show up, but the good one showed up, and they were good today."
Like the Cowgirls, especially lately, there has been two sides to Bedlam's other half. And the good one did not show up for OU.
"It was all us," Ellenberg said. "We could have controlled everything that happened there, but we didn't."

In my Introduction to Pastoral Counseling class this past fall, Dr. Dee Preston Dillon asked the class to consider what is the "best and the worst" of being a pastoral counselor. My greatest challenge is having feelings of inadequacy to provide support and guidance to my clients. Related to this challenge is also what I believe to be the greatest opportunity, the possibility of healing for my clients through grace. My counseling can serve as medium for that grace.
I have continued to reflect on this question. Taking a page out of David Letterman's Top Ten, I've started the conversation with my own Top Three. I welcome my colleagues to comment on my post naming their own "challenges" and "joys."
3. Value Dissonance
In my Human Development class this spring we discussed what happens when clients'
personal values are not aligned with our own and their choices do not appear to serve in their best interest. . My role as a counselor is to help clients define their intentions in seeking counseling and to be ethical in helping them make choices which are congruent with their intentions, regardless of what those choices may be. I realize this is easier said than done and welcome advice from my colleagues on this issue.
2. Lack of self-awareness
Self-awareness is a life-long process and as frustrating as it is to discover new "blindspots." These are the experiences that provide opportunities for the greatest learning and growth.
1. Being able to keep the faith
I imagine there will be many days when I will question my abilities as a counselor. I hope that I can seek support from good colleagues and be open to God's grace in getting me through these times.
3. The ability to both be a travel companion and a wayfinder for clients.
We are all on a journey and it is the role of the Pastoral Counselor to walk with our clients while also helping them discern their path.
2. "Aha!" moments
Just like the name of this blog, we are "meaning makers." I look forward to the first time I realize when I facilitated an "Aha!" moment for a client.
1. Transformative relationships
Pastoral counselors can help transform their clients' lives. As I hope for the possibility of transformation for my clients, I know that my relationships with them will also be transformative for me, thus deepening my own spiritual development.

Landscaping and Crime Prevention
Now that spring has arrived, many of us will be spending time outside working in the yard. While landscaping and plant growth can contribute to the aesthetics of a private residence, multi-resident unit, private business, or government building, they can also provide hiding places for persons with criminal intent. By choosing suitable plants and appropriate placement, you can have an attractive lawn and also reduce the potential for criminal activity.
The following suggestions will work for large areas around government buildings or businesses and is also applicable to homes on a smaller scale.
Ground cover plants:
Ground cover plants, including perennial and annual plants, can be used within six feet of the edge of walkways and play areas. The height of these plants should not exceed two feet at maturity. Plants with thin stalks that are taller than two feet can be used if they still allow visual surveillance of the area.
Shrubs should be used between six and twelve feet from the edge of walkways requiring visual surveillance. Their height should not exceed three feet at maturity. If they are taller, they should have thin stalks to allow for visual surveillance.
Tree limbs should be pruned to six feet above ground. When planting, consider the location of light poles and fixtures so that illumination will not be blocked at night.
Barrier plants:
Barrier plants have thorns or needles and a dense structure. They should be used below and to the sides of windows and next to fences and walls where access is not needed or desired.
Bark or wood chip borders between the lawn and the building or residence can be replaced with decorative river rock or gravel. A prowler walking on a rock surface will likely make more noise than he would walking on wood chips, possibly alerting the occupants.
With the appropriate plants and landscaping design, a beautiful lawn can also be made safer for those who enjoy it.

Associated Press
— The Tuscaloosa News on UA athletic director Mal Moore:
There was a short period in the 1980s when Mal Moore wasn't associated with the University of Alabama. Fittingly, he spent part of that period at about the only university that can lay claim to as storied a football heritage as UA —Notre Dame.
Many felt that Moore, who served as offensive coordinator under legendary Coach Paul W. "Bear" Bryant, should have followed Bryant as the Crimson Tide's head coach. But when Bryant retired, Ray Perkins, another Bryant disciple, got the job.
Moore never got to be Alabama's head coach. But he got to be the head coach's boss when he became athletics director in 1999. Recently, he stepped down from that position to become a "special assistant" to UA President Judy Bonner.
Moore leaves the University of Alabama athletics program in historically good condition. The football program, both bellwether and cash cow for the athletics department, has won back-to-back national championships. Moore hired arguably America's best football coach to run it.
His long association with UA saw him serve as an assistant coach, an administrator and athletics director. Through it all, he remained a humble, pleasant gentleman whose service to his family and his community were extraordinary.
Recently, UA named Bill Battle as athletics director, and we're sure he will do a fine job. But no one will ever replace Mal Moore.

JOHNSTOWN — The downtown Johnstown Kentucky Fried Chicken store is closing its doors at 7 tonight. Brandi Shawley, assistant manager and one of 23 part-time employees losing their jobs, said they were notified Thursday of the closing. "It's a sad time, to say the least, because we all need jobs," Shawley said. Shawley was told the store was closing because of financial reasons.

On my WGR radio show a few weeks back, I promised to run down the street in my underwear if Ryan Fitzpatrick finished the season with 30 touchdowns. Fitzpatrick has 18 touchdown passes. He is on pace to throw 32. I still think it's a long shot. But I'm worried. So on Wednesday, I asked Fitz if he would consider running with me if he gets to 30 TDs.
"Absolutely not," he said without hesitation. "But I'll probably be there watching."
Not even with all your clothes on, I asked him?
"No," he said. "I'll be cheering you on."
So I'm taking it as a promise that Fitz will at least be standing alongside the road if I'm forced to hobble on my bad hip down Hertel Avenue in early January. He said he heard about my wager with Jeremy White from a friend the other day and was amused by it.
"Yeah, I think it's funny," he said. "The first thing I got was the mental image, which wasn't pretty. I hope you're not rooting against me."
On the contrary, I'm rooting like hell for Fitz to throw the second-most TD passes in a season in Bills' history: 29.

Meteorologists say it's supposed to snow overnight Thursday and Friday morning around Tacoma, putting up to two inches on the ground and making for a slippery morning commute.
They think.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch from 10 p.m. Thursday to 4 p.m. Friday, but where snow falls and how much of it depends on how strong winds from the south end up being, the agency said.
2 to 4 inches is expected to fall in Seattle and further north.
But if snow does accumulate, it won't last for long.
A moist warm front will bring the snow, but when the air warms up, that precipitation should turn to rain by late Friday morning.

Foods that may harbor listeria
(HealthDay News) -- Listeria, a bacterium that may lead to a form of food poisoning, is unusual in that it can thrive in the cold temperatures of your refrigerator.
Some foods can harbor the germ and trigger listeriosis, an infection that can be dangerous to pregnant women and others with a weaker immune system.
Common sources of listeria include:
- Prepared deli meats and hot dogs.
- Refrigerated meat spreads and pates.
- Unpasteurized milk and other dairy products.
- Brie, camembert, feta and other cheeses that may be made with unpasteurized milk.
- Smoked, refrigerated seafood.
- Raw vegetable sprouts.

Patients dependent on legal substitution therapy to manage their drug dependency are being withheld treatment unless they provide information on their health and HIV status for a 'voluntary survey'.
"We are not given medication. They say we must first pass an 'interview' with law enforcement officers. A law enforcement officer threatened to arrest me if I do not fill in a questionnaire," said Olha Belyaeva, a substitution therapy advocate.
The crackdown has been steadily building for a number of weeks. Irina Sukhoparova, leader of the Hope and Trust NGO, outlined the problem. "Instead of taking care of patients doctors have to provide clarifications to prosecutors and police. Documents are being taken from charity organisations and in some cities programmes for drug users have already stopped. This is threatening the health of more than 6,000 substitution patients.
The International HIV/AIDS Alliance in the Ukraine and the PLHA Network who for over ten years have been delivering groundbreaking HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment work have been ordered to provide evidence to the Kyiv Prosecution Office
Andriy Klepikov, Executive Director of the International HIV/AIDS Alliance in Ukraine said, "On January 19th I was summoned to provide testimony in person to the local Prosecutor in Kiev. I was particularly questioned on the Alliance's role in programmes related to drug use and the substitution therapy programme."
"This is a very worrying situation which is negatively impacting HIV prevention programmes in Ukraine – doctors don't want to get involved in substitution therapy programmes, injecting drug users are afraid to become substitution therapy patients, and even for NGOs this situation is becoming personally dangerous to be involved in," he said.
All this comes at a time when the Ukrainian President has approved a new and progressive AIDS Law which came into force on 15 January this year. The Law specifically spells out provision of needle and syringe as well as substitution therapy to help tackle the HIV epidemic in the country, which is predominantly driven through injecting drug use.
Both the International HIV/AIDS Alliance in Ukraine and PLHA Network have been praised by the British Medical Journal and the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal for the work they have been doing with injecting drug users to prevent the spread of HIV.
"We are extremely concerned about the Ukrainian government's current reaction to HIV prevention and substitution therapy programmes," said Dr Alvaro Bermejo at the International HIV/AIDS Alliance. "Collecting individuals' personal data including their HIV status is a violation of people's human rights. Substitution therapy is legal in Ukraine and stopping former drug users from taking their medication is cruel and dangerous."
Visit our What's Preventing Prevention? campaign to email the Ukrainian Government and demand an end to the harassment and abuse of patients receiving drugs substitution therapy.

In addition to its budget concerns, the Florida Board of Education is taking some heat for its plan (see starting on page 11) that sets goals for students in math and reading based upon their race.
According to CBS News, by 2018, the Florida BOE plan would have 74 percent of African-American grade school students at (or above) grade level in reading; 81 percent of Hispanic students are expected to reach grade level (or above) in reading and further ethnic breakdown puts expectations of 82 percent of American Indian students, 88 percent of white and 90 percent of Asian students at (or above) grade level.
For math proficiency: 74 percent of African-American students, 80 percent Hispanic, 81 percent American Indian, 86 percent white and 92 percent of Asian students are to be at (or above) grade level.
Many who are against this plan cite reasons of the lower expectations for some races and higher expectations for others as racist; community leaders feel it is stereotyping and the NAACP says it is "soft bigotry of low expectations."
Florida Commissioner of Education Pam Stewart says the plan will help Florida achieve a "world class education system"; and per CBS Tampa, State Board of Education Chairwoman Kathleen Shanahan has said that setting goals for different subgroups was needed to comply with terms of a waiver that makes states independent from some federal regulations and provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act.
While school systems routinely make accommodations for students based on disabilities and language, do you think this is going too far with creating subgroups based on nationality or race? Or is this a creative approach to raise expectations for some subgroups?


text: Chelsea Handler's Office Pictures Work It: Chelsea Handler's Upbeat Office Style by Angela Elias 2/27/14 160 Reactions 157 Shares Print 134 6 11 6 0 When it came time to transform Chelsea Handler's office, designer Shannon Wollack knew just what it needed: a multifunctional floor plan and sophisticated decor infused with elements of fun. Formerly in corporate fashion, Shannon left New York for sunny Los Angeles, where she lives with her show-biz hubby, Chelsea Lately writer Brad Wollack, and their young son (check out his stylish nursery!), and runs her interior design business. Having both a professional and personal relationship with Chelsea, Shannon and her design colleague, Brittany Zwickl, were eager to take on the task of designing the comedic powerhouse's creative space. We caught up with Shannon to chat about everything from working with Chelsea to her go-to sources for stylish decor. Source: Shannon Wollack What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 POPSUGAR: Balancing beauty with functionality is important when designing any space. How did that shape the design plan for Chelsea's office? Shannon Wollack: We knew we wanted to create a space that is aesthetically pleasing while at the same time fully functional for Chelsea's needs. This would need to include a lounge area for people to hang out, as well as a work/desk area. Knowing this, we opted to put the makeup station in the main office area. This way she can work at her computer, take meetings, and have her hair and makeup done at the same time. The lounge area also includes a built-in bar (not pictured) that has a refrigerator, ice maker, and is always fully stocked with Chelsea's favorite libations. 1 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Modern but also slightly retro in feel, the sleek custom vanity pairs perfectly with the leather-upholstered Arteriors chair. 2 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 PS: Did Chelsea have any requests as far as aesthetics? SW: After collaborating with her for several years, we had a fairly good idea of her design taste. Her taste reflects her personality (as it should): bold, fun and sharp. To complement that, we typically mix vintage items, custom furniture, and unique statement pieces. 3 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cubed compartments of glass on this custom coffee table make styling a cinch. The key is to top neat stacks of colorful books with a few pretty accessories. 4 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The curves on the brass Arteriors lamp mimic the repeated shapes in the wall art. 6 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 PS: Tell us about the rainbow-hued scalloped art piece. What is it, and where did you find it? SW: This is a custom piece of art crated by Kyle Bunting out of Austin, TX. We have worked closely with Kyle in the past and were very excited to create a unique piece of wall art out of luxury hide. 6 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A perfect fit for the elegant but slightly whimsical vibe of the office, the Apparatus chandelier reminds us of an upside-down balloon bouquet. 7 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Beneath it are two leather chairs scored from 1st Dibs and accented with magenta throw pillows. 8 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 PS: How did you create the cluster of photographs? Is it a custom frame? SW: Chelsea loves photos, so our colleague and graphic designer, Ashley Steen, compiled approximately 50 pictures to create a custom photo collage of her family and friends. We had it custom framed from our go-to guy, Andy at Sherman Gallery. The best part: we made a template that can easily be changed, and the framing is designed in such away that it is easy for us to switch the matting in and out. 9 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A large Slim Aarons print complements the midcentury decor sprinkled throughout the office. 11 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The bathroom feels especially decadent covered with floor-to-ceiling haisa marble. 11 / 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 To create visual interest, a herringbone patterned strip runs along the center. 12 / 12 134 6 11 6 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More TastemakersOfficesInterior DesignChelsea HandlerDesign Tastemakers 4 Ways to Snag Celebrity Beach House Style — on a Budget! 1 week ago What the Property Brothers Want You to Know Before Buying That Fixer-Upper 2 weeks ago Why This Surprisingly Chic City Deserves a Spot on Your Bucket List 3 weeks ago 10 Tips For Keeping Your Fig Tree Fit as a Fiddle 6/24 Take 5: Your Weekend Inspiration 6/20 Inside the Loft That Inspires Nashville 6/14 design Sold!

As expected, NBC will replace "The Jay Leno Show" at 10 p.m. weekdays in March with a combination of "Law & Order" series, "Dateline" and two new shows.
The original "Law & Order" will air at 10 p.m. Monday and "SVU" will air at 10 p.m. Wednesday. Both series were very popular in Buffalo in 10 p.m. slots. "Dateline" will air from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays.
"Parenthood," an hour-drama inspired by the movie hit, will run at 10 p.m. Tuesday. If the show sounds familiar, it is because a previous series inspired by the movie failed.
NBC is giving Jerry Seinfeld's comedy-reality series, "The Marriage Ref," the 10 p.m. Thursday slot where some of the network's critically-acclaimed dramas have been carried in the past.
NBC also announced that "Trauma" will return at 9 p.m. Monday, effective March 8. "Friday Night Lights" will return at 8 p.m. April 30 with episodes that have previously been carried by DirecTV. Until then, NBC plans to carry a reality series at 8 p.m. Friday -- "Who do You Think You Are?" -- from former "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow. A new game show, "Minute to Win It," will premiere at 8 p.m. Sunday March 14 before "The Celebrity Apprentice."

August 1, 2014
June 21, 2005
While many other counties struggle to find Fire and EMS volunteers, Albemarle County moved forward tonight with a group of members. Volunteers are hard to come by in many walks of life, but for local Fire departments, the need is great. Tonight, some of those demands were met.
They received diplomas and shook hands just like any other graduation. But this was a ceremony of a different kind.
"To accomplish something like this means a whole lot to not just me, but to my family," said graduate Erik Graziano
Albemarle County graduated 60 new members to its volunteer Fire and EMS squads. The department is a combined effort between volunteers and career personnel. These new members will join a team of over 400 current volunteers and 50 career members.
"We are real proud here tonight to graduate over 60 people in this class. We believe these 60 people are now going to be in a position to provide a level of service to our community and keep that level of service high," said Chief J. Dan Eggelston.
The graduates spent over 120 hours both in the classroom and out in the field. All of them say that while the classes prepared them for the rigors of being a first responder, it takes a special person to be a volunteer.
"Wanting to help. Wanting to serve. You have to have it in here. It is not just something that you want to go out and do," said graduate Tina Bukoskey.
"They do it out of community sense. They do it because they feel like they are giving back to the community in which they live. I think that makes a great combination," said Chief Eggelston.
But while everyone has different reasons for volunteering, they all shared a sense of accomplishment.
"To get my firefighter one as a junior member it is a real big accomplishment and I am very happy," said graduate Christopher Winfield.
"I have accomplished my dream," said Bukoskey.
The graduation today was a combination of Fire Fighter 1 and 2 classes and an EMT class. If you are interested in taking either of the classes they are both being offered again in the fall.
