Part of the Commemorative Collection. These exclusive garments have been inspired by some of the beautiful pieces in our archive and reference the iconic decades of the 20th century. Retro styling has been given a contemporary twist for the modern day
It may be a diffusion collection, but Vivienne Westwood Red Label must be a red-hot seller if the gargantuan venue she chose to show her latest collection is anything to go by. The show took place at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, the same locale where Giorgio Armani staged his grand-scale One Night Only show and party exactly two years ago. On Thursday night, the doyenne of British fashion sent a troop of Bedouin-style babes down a slick black runway against a backdrop of a rising red sun. Westwood incorporated elements of mens tailoring in light wool fabrics into the collection, alongside fresh shirtdresses in stripped or checked cotton, some with Arabian hoods. Gold lamé was worked into cropped biker jackets and harem pants, while shiny metallic stretch fabric made for slinky fitted dresses. Prints reminiscent of Kilim carpets appeared in knitwear. All in all, the collection was easy and wearable.
New Year's All-Nighter Once you've had ample time to loosen up since the family reunion, it's time to focus on the future. Try the Sonny Gown or Maya Dress from Marie Marie (as seen at our Gen Art shop events). Gentlemen, once the champagne flows you may seem smashing to any girl, but you still have to look good walking in the door. Try the trim, erudite-looking blazers and ties from Band of Outsiders.

Gluten Free Chutney Goat Cheese Flatbread
Another super fast meal... I recently defrosted some of my Cranberry Chutney from the freezer. I have said this before and I stand by it; some foods improve after being frozen for several months! This chutney is no exception. The depth of flavor is so much deeper than it was when I initially froze it.
So, I was thinking of my Chutney Crostata and wanted something faster, lighter and gluten free. I had some Flatbreads in the fridge, so I used those as the base.
Added some Chutney
Topped with Cashew Goat Cheese
11 comments:
Great idea- I never think to make flat bread for a quick meal, but now I see that I should in the future!ReplyDelete
It all looks so good! I wish I was at your house for dinner!ReplyDelete

I'm not usually a fan of chutney, but you make yours look so good. I love trying out new breads, too.ReplyDelete
this looks delightful. i love chutney, and goat cheese, and gluten free flat bread too. thanks!ReplyDelete
I like my flatbread to be a bit sweet! I love the idea of chutney!ReplyDelete
Vegan goat cheese? I so <3 you, Mel! Seriously this all looks so good.ReplyDelete

Authorities say a cheerleader for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals who served in the Army in Iraq is accused of assaulting her boyfriend. Scottsdale police say 29-year-old Megan Welter was arrested July 20 on charges of disorderly conduct, alleged assault and criminal damage. Welter told police she and her boyfriend went to a Scottsdale bar to celebrate her birthday. The couple had been dating for six months. Welter says the couple later argued over past relationships. A police report says Welter hit, scratched and pulled the hair of her unidentified boyfriend.
Authorities didn't immediately know Thursday if Welter has an attorney. Welter entered officer training school in 2007 and served a 16-month tour in Iraq.

The Clarksburg Library held a children's Valentine's Day party Saturday.
More than 20 kids and their families joined together for the 2nd annual party.
The event was held for kids up to the age of 12.
Erica Perry, the children's librarian, hosted the party, and explained what they did, and why it's a good event.
"I read a Valentine's Day story, 'Love Splat,' and we did a craft with the children, we hit a piñata, and we did a Valentine's Day exchange. They have fun, they get to socialize with other children, and it's something free for the community," Perry said.
After the kids party, an anti Valentine's Day party was held for teenagers.
The next kids event at the library will be an Easter egg hunt on March 23rd.

Double Dragon: Neon will be 'free' for PlayStation Plus members
Here's reason to high-five. WayForward's take on the Double Dragon franchise is coming soon. And best of all, it will be included in PlayStation Plus' "Instant Game Collection" when it launches.
The game will be available on PS3 on September 11th for $9.99. (Presumably, it will be 800 Microsoft Points when launching on Xbox Live Arcade.) However, PlayStation Plus members will be able to download it for "free" as part of their membership until January.
Here's the retro throwback in action--in bro-op, of course:

Until 1984, the U.S. Treasury typically issued its long-term bonds in callable form. A number of these securities, totaling $93.8 billion in face value, remain outstanding. After a call protection period, usually five years prior to maturity, the Treasury can call the bonds but must give prior notification of intent to call. This article develops a decision rule, which takes account of the prior notification requirement, when it is optimal to call such bonds.
The decision of whether to call is based on the current level of interest rates and their volatility. For a call to be optimal for the Treasury, interest rates must be sufficiently low (relative to the bond's coupon) and the potential benefits of waiting--on the chance of even lower interest rates--should be insufficient to compensate for the costs of continuing to pay the higher coupon rate for another six months. After developing these ideas, the authors use a numerical example to demonstrate their application. They conclude that, at least in recent years, the Treasury has called bonds optimally. The model they use, which is also applicable to agency, corporate, and municipal callable bonds, specifies conditions under which the Treasury should call outstanding callable bonds in the future.Mergers and Acquisitions in China
Mergers and acquisitions are an integral part of any market economy, enhancing an economy's efficiency by reallocating and recombining production resources for better use. In China, the development of mergers and acquisitions activity has played a positive role in privatizing and revitalizing the country's inefficient state enterprises, attracting foreign investment, and rationalizing the industrial structure. The authors of this article discuss this development in the context of China's market-oriented economic reform and provide an outline of the advantages and disadvantages of the country's approach to mergers and acquisitions.
Three reasons emerge as forces driving mergers and acquisitions activity in China, reasons that are likely to continue fueling its growth: the government's need to restructure and revitalize the state-owned enterprises; the growing needs of enterprises; and the market's potential for attracting more international capital. Because of the importance of the mergers and acquisitions market in restructuring and modernizing the industry of China, the authors expect its development to continue, but they observe that careful handling of many institutional deficiencies and social problems as well as political obstacles will be required to avoid major setbacks.FYI -- Monetary Aggregates, Payments Technology, and Institutional Factors
Economic theory implies that the quantity of money in the economy is linked both to the Federal Reserve's policy-making instruments and its ultimate objectives and should therefore be useful in formulating policy decisions. The Federal Reserve defines monetary aggregates, composed of financial assets like cash and demand deposits, expressly for this purpose.
Over time, substantial changes have been observed in the close relationships between monetary aggregates and economic activity. Between 1990 and 1994, growth in the Federal Reserve's M2 monetary aggregate was much slower than expected, a development that several academic studies attribute to the proliferation of financial assets that serve as alternatives to M2 components. As a result, the current composition of M2 no longer completely reflects the choice of financial assets available as means of payment or close substitutes. Thus, the aggregate's relationship with expenditure on goods and services may no longer be direct or predictable, and M2 may not now serve as a reliable link between policy instruments and policy goals. In addition, unforeseen instability in the macroeconomic relationships between monetary aggregates and the Federal Reserve's goals raises broader questions about the role of aggregates in policy making.
This article explores how the composition and character of payments assets can change in a dynamic financial system, ultimately influencing the relationships between monetary aggregates and economic activity.

Friday, October 5 at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. – Bernie (2012) Starring Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine, and Matthew McConaughey; Rated PG-13; 104 minutes; Closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
In the tiny, rural town of Carthage, TX, assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede was one of the town's most beloved residents. He taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Everyone loved and appreciated Bernie, so it came as no surprise when he befriended Marjorie Nugent, an affluent widow who was as well known for her sour attitude as her fortune. Marjorie quickly became fully dependent on Bernie and his generosity and Bernie struggled to meet her increasing demands. The people of Carthage were shocked when it was reported that Marjorie Nugent had been dead for some time, and Bernie Tiede was being charged with the murder.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from more than 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $700 billion annually. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard. The CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals - contributed significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.

Above: Leonard Cohen says, "Democracy is coming to the USA." (He doesn't mention Utah.)
- The 0.2 percent: System denies Utahns their voice - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
The voters of Utah have many choices before them this year. They will be electing a governor, a U.S. senator, four — count them, four — members of the U.S. House of Representatives, an attorney general and most of the state Legislature.
Wait. Did we say "the voters" will be making these choices? Sorry. Not really. Never mind.
For all practical purposes, the vast majority of those decisions will be made by a tiny minority of the state's voters.
The Republican State Convention, Saturday at South Towne Exposition Center in Sandy, will count only the votes of the 4,000 duly elected delegates. Only they, chosen last month in the party's precinct caucuses, will have a say in winnowing fields that include a handful of candidates down to one or two individuals. ...
- Conventions tickle insiders, but they aren't democracy - Tooele Transcript Bulletin Editorial
... The private parties for delegates will really ratchet up this week with the Republican Party's state convention set for Saturday. There will be plenty to eat and drink. People will ask questions about important issues affecting them, and they will often get substantive answers. Promises will be made.
There's only one problem: You won't be there. In fact, you weren't invited. That level of democracy is reserved for delegates, and after all, you're just a voter.
The superfluous State Board of Education nominating committee is nothing but an extraneous barrier between Utah voters and the people who want to represent them on the state board.
The fact that the committee has decided to take out of the hands of voters the decision of whether to re-elect incumbent board members is clear evidence that this undemocratic process should be shelved. A direct, nonpartisan election should take its place....

-- Robert Preidt
MONDAY, May 16 (HealthDay News) -- Asthma patients who delay
seeking emergency medical care when the condition flares can suffer
worse outcomes, including hospitalization.
That's the finding of a study that included 296 asthma patients
in two New York City emergency departments. They were asked about
the duration of their asthma symptoms and their attempts at
self-management before they decided to go to the emergency
Two-thirds of the patients waited five days or less before they
sought medical treatment and one-third waited longer than five
Patients who waited longer were more likely to be sicker when
they arrived at the emergency department, more likely to arrive by
ambulance, and more likely to be admitted to the hospital.
The study also found that patients who waited longer and those
who sought treatment earlier were about equally likely to have
health insurance (80 percent), to consult a physician before coming
to the emergency department (23 percent and 18 percent,
respectively), and to have used drugs called beta-agonists
(albuterol, for example), which are typically prescribed to treat
asthma flare-ups.
The study is slated to be presented Monday at the American
Thoracic Society (ATS) international conference in Denver.
"An important aspect of managing asthma is for patients to realize when they can handle exacerbations with help from their regular doctors, and when they need the more intense treatment the emergency room provides," study author Dr. Carol Mancuso, an associate professor of medicine at the Hospital for Special Surgery, Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City, said in an ATS news release.
"It is preferable to get help early from regular doctors and avoid the emergency room. However, when intense treatment is necessary, then the sooner the patients present to the emergency room the better, because then they are not as sick and are less likely to be hospitalized," she added.

Open Call: Submit Your Proposal
COST invites researchers throughout Europe to submit proposals for research networks and use this unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and to embark on new European perspectives. A continuous Open Call for Proposals is used to attract the best proposals for new COST Actions.
Latest updates
The new arrangements that the COST Association and the transition to Horizon 2020 will set in place will impact the Open Call organisation.
The Open Call will continue organising its two yearly collection dates. However, the 2014-2 collection date will be combined with the 2015 ones. The dates are still to be defined.
The Committee of Senior Officials (CSO) will also decide upon the revision of the evaluation and selection procedures between May and November 2014, ensuring transparent mechanisms and openness for all science and technology fields.
In addition, the structure of the COST Scientific Committees is being scrutinized in order to best fit the needs of the European research communities.
The Open Call Calendar will be updated as soon as the Horizon 2020 programme and the new evaluation and selection procedures have been adopted.
COST follows different evaluation procedures for Proposals submitted in one of the nine COST Domains or, when highly interdisciplinary and spanning several COST Domains, as Trans-Domain Proposals (TDP).
Proposals submitted in one COST Domain
Proposals submitted in one of the nine COST Domains follow a two-stage process whereby proposers, after registering, submit a Preliminary Proposal by a set collection date. This Preliminary Proposal provides an overview of the proposed Action's goal and its foreseen impact. After evaluation, approximately 120 of the top-ranked Preliminary Proposals are invited to submit a Full Proposal.
After assessment by external experts, the top-ranked Full Proposals are presented orally to the Domain Committee (DC Hearing). A final list is proposed for approval by the Committee of Senior Official (CSO).
For more information and guidance on this process please see the Action Proposal Submission, Evaluation, Selection and Approval (COST Doc. 4113/13) and COST Action Proposal Submission, Evaluation, Selection and Approval (SESA) Guidelines documents available via the 'Key Documents' box in the right column of this page (please note these supersede COST Doc 4111/11).
Trans-Domain Proposals (TDP)
Broad, interdisciplinary proposals known as 'Trans-Domain Proposals' (TDP) follow a TDP Pilot Evaluation and Selection Procedure with a proposal registration via the proposer's e-COST profile. The TDP Pilot requires one single proposal submission, with the proposal evaluated remotely in two steps preceding TDP Panel Hearings.
More information about the TDP Pilot can be found on http://www.cost.eu/domains_actions/TDP.
What does COST fund?
The support will cover the costs of networking activities such as meetings (e.g. travel, subsistence, local organiser support), conferences, workshops, short-term scientific exchanges, training schools, publications and dissemination activities. COST does not fund the research itself.
The FAQ section also answers Open Call specific questions.
Next collection date - see Latest updates (top page)
- For submissions in one of the nine COST Domains: Friday 28 March 2014 at 17:00 Brussels time (GMT+1).
- For TDP submissions: 7 March 2014 (Proposal Registration) and 11 April 2014 (Proposal Submission) at 17:00 Brussels time (GMT+1).

In last month's "Tech Scene," we compared the differences between Toyota's VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift-intelligence) and Honda's VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control). After starting the column, we realized we needed more space to fully explain the intricacies between the two engines. Although many enthusiasts have a clue of what variable valve lift is or does, many are still clueless as to how the mechanism is engaged and how it affects performance. In this article, we will cover the difference in valve lift mechanisms, cam design, intake manifolds, blocks, heads and overall performance.
Honda's DOHC VTECThe first to enter the boxing ring is the long-standing champion: the Honda B18C DOHC VTEC engine. VTEC technology first entered the production car market in the United States in 1990, in the form of the Acura NSX engine. However, the VTEC effect dates as far back as the 1988 Honda Civic/CRX in the form of the notorious B16A, which was offered overseas at the time.
Although the NSX was the first vehicle to use the VTEC effect in a production vehicle, it wasn't until the 1992 Honda Civic Si/EX engines that VTEC made an impact in the sport compact market. Unlike the current generation B18C/B16A engine, the '92 vintage D16Z SOHC VTEC engine only incorporated the VTEC mechanism on the intake valves, improving airflow to the combustion chamber at higher engine speeds.
At the time of release, the D16Z engine produced one of the highest horsepower outputs (125 hp) of any 1.6-liter production engine found in the U.S. The D16Z engine was merely a glimpse of what was to come from Honda.
The following year (1993), Honda released the B17A engine, which made its way into the 1993 Acura GS-R. The B17A engine was almost identical to the B16A, with the exception of the displacement (1.6-liters to 1.7-liters). The two engines share a nearly identical head, intake and throttle body. Both engines also feature an 81mm bore, but had different strokes because of the difference in displacement.
The B18C made its way to our shores in 1994, powering the third-gen Acura Integra GS-R. Although sharing much of the technology of the B16A/B17A engines, the B18C was a whole new breed of DOHC VTEC. In appearance, the intake manifold was a completely redesigned unit, compared with the B16A/B17A. The major difference is the use of a dual-stage intake. At low-rpm operation, the engine ingests air from a set of long intake runners for better bottom-end torque. As engine rpm and load increase, a set of secondary butterflies open, giving the intake air access to shorter intake runners for a more direct flow into the combustion chamber, resulting in better top-end power.
By combining both the dual-stage intake and secondary cam lobes, the B18C is capable of producing power all the way to its lofty 8000-rpm redline. The use of VTEC technology revolutionized the perception of small-displacement engines. Honda was able to engineer a small-displacement engine capable of producing excellent power throughout the entire powerband, yet still pass with flying colors at the smog stations.

Not your town BP.. kids live there - totally inappropriate- kids are watching you
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
Via The Other Paper:
Back on April 20, while addressing the crowd at Fenway Park's first home game after the Boston Marathon Bombing, Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz delivered a memorable quote — emphasized with the now-famous words, "this is our f------ city!" And to help raise money for the One Fund Boston charity, Big Papi is using those same words to raise money for the victims of the attack by putting them on a baseball bat.
Ortiz's quick pregame speech in the midst of a Boston tribute that came in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing made headlines when he used the F-word.
And now, anyone can buy a bat with that phrase emblazoned on the inside of the barrel available at big papi.com.
If you prefer "Nobody's going to dictate our freedom" to the "this is our f------ city" quote, you have an option to pick the former. But it sounds like the cool thing will be choosing the R-rated version.
The Red Sox designated hitter announced that in conjunction with Marucci Sports he'll be selling customized bats, and 100 percent of the net proceeds will be donated to the One Fund Boston and other sources of victim support.

PepsiCo Recognizes American Heart Month: More Work Needs to be Done, but there is Good News!
In 1963, the U.S. Congress requested the President issue a proclamation designating February as American Heart Month. Beginning in 1964, these presidential proclamations have urged Americans to take action for the prevention and control of diseases of the heart and blood vessels and their major risk factors. These proclamations typically inform Americans of the huge social, economic, and human toll of heart disease and adverse trends such as the rising tide of risk factors and associated health care costs. The grim statistics quoted annually can truly spell bad news! As President Obama noted in this year's proclamation, heart disease is "a staggering health problem" and remains the "leading cause of death for American women and men." Recent data supporting genuine concern about heart health are well-documented in the 2011 update of the Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics published by the American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction...

text: kpixi3 ifeeeeeelinfinite: crownmalone: ARE YOU WITH THE RIGHT PARTNER?During a seminar, a woman asked," How do I know if I am with the right person?"The author then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, "It depends. Is that your partner?" In all seriousness, she answered "How did you know?""Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind." replied the author.Here's the answer:Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love.People in love sometimes say, I was swept of my feet. Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU.Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It's a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, "Am I with the right person?" And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someoneelse. This is when relationships breakdown.The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the person you found.People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it.I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later.Because (listen carefully to this)The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the Person you found.SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to knowWHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it.Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner), just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are predictable.Love is therefore a "decision". Not just a feeling.Remember this always: the universe determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go! why doesn't this have more notes kpixi3 Source: crownmalone

In the Relegation Pool, it will be either Mosta or Mqabba to join Marsaxlokk in next year's first division after Tarxien and Hamrun ascertained themselves of survival following the past weekend's results. In the Championship Pool, while Valletta continued with their positive march at the top, Birkirkara now seem to be hot favourites to finish third, ahead of Floriana after the Stripes beat Sliema and Floriana went down to City in the usual fiery derby. Henry Brincat takes a look at what happened the past weekend. Valletta maintained their positive march at the top of the standings – they have now gone undefeated in the past 26 matches - when on Saturday they defeated their city and suburban rivals Floriana – another derby win for the Whites. Not that they needed this win as the citizens had already been crowned champions for the 21st time in their history the previous weekend. But despite the lack of motivation, Jesmond Zerafa's boys did well to take the match seriously as they still have another important commitment in the next few weeks. In fact, they have already made it clear that they are now after the FA Trophy to make it a memorable double – something they missed last season. Despite the determination from the part of the Greens in the first half, Valletta remained a solid outfit, even at the back – they have now gone four matches without conceding a goal. As already said, Floriana provided Valletta with decent opposition in the first half, but in the second, without setting any houses on fire, the champions just confirmed their superiority never allowing their opponents a clear chance to get back into the match. The Greens' defeat set Birkirkara in motion the following day as the Stripes sensed their chance of overtaking Floriana in third place. This was, in fact, what they did, as they overpowered Sliema Wanderers 4-1, despite playing without a host of unavailable players due to injury and suspension. And despite the fact that both they and the Greens are assured of a berth in next season's Europa League, Paul Zammit's side is now close to assure themselves of third place. They now have the simple task of beating bottom placed Balzan in their final encounter on Saturday. And they might not need that victory either, if Floriana fail to win their encounter against Sliema on Friday. In the other Championship Pool clash, Hibernians defeated Balzan Youths 3-0 in a match which served the Paolites well in their preparation for their Trophy challenge, where they now hope to finish the season by winning the second major honour in local football. As for the Youths, it was another match lacking any sort of motivation except for the fact of honouring their commitment. As has been stated previously, the Youths, promoted to the Premier last season, had done more than expected of them by winning a berth in the Top Six (Championship Pool). The main item remaining to be decided is the second team to be relegated. With Tarxien beating Hamrun and Mqabba going down against Qormi, the former two teams made sure of their stay in the Premier League for at least another season. But for Mosta, easy 5-0 winners against Marsaxlokk, and Mqabba, it is still an ongoing story. The decision will arrive between Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, Mqabba will be playing against Hamrun, while on Friday Mosta will be facing top Relegation Pool side Qormi. After their encouraging performance against Qormi and despite the defeat, Mqabba must feel pretty confident that they might yet avoid the drop in the hope that they can beat the Spartans and Mosta go down against Qormi the following day. Of course, if Mqabba win on Thursday, the Blues will need to be at their very best in their last encounter against Qormi – their main aim will be to avoid defeat as they only need to draw to send Mqabba to next year's first division. Tarxien Rainbows seem to be finishing the season in a crescendo following their excellent 3-0 win against Hamrun Spartans. The Rainbows made sure of their stay among the elite with a polished performance against a side which must certainly show improvement, especially in view of their forthcoming FA Trophy semifinal commitment. The Spartans have been sliding down in form in their last few matches. On such form, any of the other three teams drawn against them in the semifinals will be very happy. Best player Ousseni Zongo (Valletta FC) The City midfielder/striker is my pick this week after yet another impressive performance, this time against City's arch rivals Floriana. Zongo has been a close second in my selections on more than one occasion this season, but this time, I felt he deserved the honour. He was to be seen everywhere especially in the second half when he was involved in almost all of the City attacks. His workrate was very impressive and he could have also added his name to the scoresheet had he not been unlucky.

When an overzealous Beyonce fan smacked the singer's butt, Beyonce threatened to boot him from her concert. But when somebody in the crowd apparently got a little grabby with Rihanna during her performance in Birmingham, U.K., on Monday night, she appeared to whack the culprit with her microphone.
Video shows Rih in a loose-fitting camouflage jacket, strolling along the front row at LG Arena, while two bodyguards walk a few feet in front and behind her. Rihanna sings "We Found Love," all while doling out high-fives to her Navy. When she tries to walk away from one area, though, it seems that someone has grabbed her arm. It's hard to tell who's holding Rihanna back, but after struggling to pull away, she turns and appears to swat at the person's arms with her golden mic.
Once she's freed her limbs, Rihanna continues the show.

- Credit Suisse plans to team up with Fidelity's retail clients to get their hands on promising IPOs, as well as follow-on share sales, underwritten by Credit Suisse.
- This allows Credit Suisse to distribute shares to the mass market in a way that they could not have done before.
- While the deal might seem unprecedented, a similar situation unfolded five years ago with Fidelity and KKR.
- Given Credit Suisse's poor performance thus far in 2014, we do not recommend a a buy; however, investors should watch the bank's post-deal performance for an uptick.
