Schroders trumpets its liberty
Saturday 09 September 1995
Financial Correspondent
Schroders, the merchant bank, yesterday trumpeted its determination to stay independent, against the recent trend of foreign acquisitions which has seen four City houses fall into overseas hands.
Win Bischoff, chief executive of Schroders, said the recent consolidation in the City was probably easing.
Mr Bischoff made his stand as shares in Schroders fell 68p to pounds 13.75 on dissappointing half year profits, but analysts shrugged this off as a "blip" and backed the management's independent strategy.
"In order to remain independent you need shareholders who will support you and a strategy which will deliver profits. We have both," said Mr Bischoff.
"We are becoming a rarer and rarer animal. People think that because four [houses] have gone all are going to succumb, but we don't think about a bid."
The chief executive stressed that the family interests, led by Bruno Schroder, which own 40 per cent of the bank are "rock hard" behind the management.
Neither was Schroders thinking of buying City brokers Cazenove, as some market rumours had suggested. A spokesman said: "It would not currently fit with our strategy."
Mr Bishcoff said the first quarter had been "difficult, but we have been encouraged by the pick up in the markets since the end of March. The third quarter has been good so far."
The City had been expecting around pounds 90m pre-tax profits for the six months to 30 June 1995, whereas Schroders came in with pounds 85.6m against pounds 103.2m last time.
Mr Bischoff stressed that much of the drop was due to the cost of integrating Wertheim Schroder, the New York securities subsidiary. Schroders now owns all of Wertheim, having bought the last stake last year.
Funds under management rose to pounds 63.8bn in the first half of the year from pounds 57.6bn and pre-tax profit from the business also rose, to pounds 43.9m from pounds 40.6m a year earlier.
Gains at the funds division offset some of the weaker performance of Schroders' merchant banking business where pre-tax profit fell sharply to pounds 41.7m from pounds 62.6m.
Mr Bischoff said that on a like-for-like basis, excluding the Wertheim integration costs, staff costs rose by 14 per cent. This represented a 6 per cent rise in staff numbers, divided equally between the merchant bank and fund management side.
In the past 18 months staff numbers had grown by 600 to 4,500, he said.
The chief executive was confident that corporate finance activity would be a major business this year.
Schroders represented both SG Warburg and Kleinwort Benson in their recent sales talks, and is also heavily involved in the electricity industry.

Alonso encouraged by Red Bull win
Scuderia Ferrari Fernando Alonso believes that Red Bull's victory at the Canadian Grand Prix shows that Ferrari must not give up on their 2014 season. Alonso finished the race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in sixth place, a result which leaves him in fourth place in the championship. The Spaniard reckons that Ferrari was fortunate to even score points. "Looking at the wild final stages of the race, we picked up some "lucky" points, but we still can't be happy with where we finished as our aim was to do better than this," he said. "In the beginning, my pace wasn't good and I wasn't happy with the balance of my car. Then in the second stint, when the track began...

Asteroid Coming Toward Earth – What to do??
Forget about that Mayan Doomsday prophecy — the one that says the world will come an end this December. Not very many credible people take that one seriously.
But a lot of people with credible credentials say an asteroid will come close to Earth next February, and it should be taken very seriously because it could hit the Earth.
NASA's data show the 60-meter asteroid, spotted by Spanish stargazers in February, will whistle by Earth 11 months from now. Its trajectory will bring it within a hair's breadth of Earth, raising fears of a possible collision.
The asteroid, known as DA14, will pass by our planet in February 2013 at a distance of under 16,700 miles. That's inside the geosynchronous orbits of some Earth satellites.
If it hits the Earth, scientists say the energy released would equal the power of a thermo-nuclear bomb. They say the impact will be as hard as in the 1908 Tunguska collision in Siberia. More than 800 square miles of trees were destroyed. That's an area about the size of Angelina County.
Obviously, many scientists say we need to do something to destroy this asteroid or steer it away from us. The Russian newspaper Izvestia reports some scientists suggest sending a spaceship to bomb it and break it up, or crash into it to throw it off course. Unfortunately, it would take several years to build a spaceship capable of that.
"We could paint it," says asteroid expert David Dunham.
Dunham says a coat of paint would affect the asteroid's ability to reflect sunlight, changing its temperature and altering its spin. However, other scientists say even if that could be done, it could make the asteroid even more dangerous when it comes back near Earth again in 2056. It could make a direct hit the next time around.
Still, the prospects are not all doom and gloom.
Dunham says "The asteroid may split into pieces entering the atmosphere. In this case, most part of it will never reach the planet's surface."
via Blast it or paint it: Asteroid to threaten Earth in 2013 — RT.
Paint an asteroid to steer it away from Earth? Oh please. As serious as a potential asteroid collision is, it's impossible to take that kind of speculation seriously. Anyone who would even suggest it shouldn't be taken seriously either.
Just for the sake of discussion, Dunham doesn't explain how to deliver that much paint to an asteroid that's now more than a million miles out in space. Nor does he explain how the paint would be applied. Spray? Paint guns? Rollers?
David Dunham is unofficial amateur expert on the timing of eclipses, and tracking the orbits of asteroids and comets. NASA sometimes uses his data, but he does not work for NASA, nor does he speak for NASA.
It's also worth mentioning that so far, this story has only been reported in the Russian media. It has not been reported in any mainstream media outside of Russia.

So this is why we don't see Johnny Depp on stage very often (ever?) at awards shows. Last night at the Hollywood Film Awards, Depp introduced the documentary 'Supermensch,' about legendary talent manager Shep Gordon, and immediately made it pretty clear that he was not sober-minded. "That's the weirdest microphone I've ever seen in my life," he slurs—except, you know, it's just a regular microphone.

Although they didn't reveal the identity of his character, Deadline reports that Daniel Bruhl will play the guy to pester the feuding Avengers.

Oklahoma City's Big Truck Tacos wins national contest
Big Truck wins $10,000 and chance to appear on next season's "Great Food Truck Race"
Big Truck Tacos is going national. The gourmet taqueria owned by Kathryn Mathis, Cally Johnson and Chris Lower won a nationwide online contest, earning them $10,000 and a chance to compete on Food Network's "Great Food Truck Race" next season.
The announcement was made Sunday during the finale of the inaugural season of the show, hosted by Tyler Florence. The Great Food Truck Race America's Favorite Giveaway was conducted on the cable channel's website. Fans from across the country were allowed to vote up to 10 times a day through Sept. 10 Tears of joy, hugs and high fives were the only thing more prevalent than NoName Ranch burgers at Irma's Burger Shack in Midtown, which hosted a watch party on behalf of Big Truck Tacos. When the announcement was made, the full house erupted with joy. Big Truck Tacos has been an unmitigated success. The owners originally thought it would follow the business model set by the Kogi Taco Trucks in Los Angeles, which uses Twitter to update customers of their route for the evening. Big Truck operates two mobile kitchens, but to the surprise of its owners, demand at their small headquarters on NW 23 and Dewey has been so high they've expanded the space and extended hours. More than 1,000 people showed for their one-year anniversary party in August. All three owners credit the power of social media for the passionate fans who voted them to victory. "We're just so proud to have the chance to represent Oklahoma City," Johnson said after the announcement. "We just want to do it proud." Johnson said they've not yet been notified when filming for the next season of the show will begin. Food Dude: Will Big Truck Tacos open the door for OKC?

We must educate our sons to save our daughters
No teenage boy should grow up persuaded that abuse is normal
"Whore, bitch, slag, slut," – these are the insults one teacher says she hears levelled at teenage girls on a daily basis. She described girls being "heckled if they dare to speak in class, their shirts forcibly undone, their skirts lifted and held by groups of boys".
It would be easy and, let's be honest, more comfortable, to dismiss this as a one off. Or the inevitable, temporary, rite of teenage passage. After all, we all remember that hormonal mix of over-excited boys, irritated girls, and clumsy flirting that gets a bit out of hand.
Sadly it's rather more than that; it's certainly not temporary, and the evidence shows it's getting worse. Across the country there are now growing voices of anger about violence against women - and particularly about the growing abuse and harassment of young women and girls. Now we need not just voices, but action - and yes, that means Government action too.
According to the Children's Commissioner there is clear evidence that violence in young relationships is growing. The British Crime Survey shows girls aged between 16-19, are most at risk of domestic violence - over 10 per cent had been experienced violence or abuse in a relationship.
Read more: Labour plans to end 'culture of defeatism' over rape convictions
So called "revenge porn" is growing making young lives a misery when an ex posts their half naked photos or stalks them online. The NUS are worried about an increasingly abusive culture on campuses with jokes about rape and 'innocent' groping seen as fairly commonplace.
This worrying evidence from the younger generation comes at a time when the clock seems to be turning back on violence against women more widely. David Cameron's Government has never made it a priority and the Home Office has done very little.
So prosecutions for domestic violence and rape have fallen since 2010 even though the number of reported crimes has gone up. Refuges report big cuts in the support they are able to give those fleeing violence. And one woman told me she couldn't get an injunction out against a violent ex because legal aid reforms meant she had to pay herself and she couldn't afford it.
But why should we stand for this? Across the country, the voices for change are getting louder. Campaigners on domestic abuse or sexual assault calling for better access to justice for survivors. Organisations protesting against Female Genital Mutilation demanding the Government acts to make sure schools and health professionals are better equipped to identify those at risk. Campaigners in the NUS and the Girlguiding movement calling for more direct action against an increasingly misogynistic 'lad culture'. And across the world, One Billion Rising is asking women to dance, sing and shout for justice and freedom from violence.
But we need to back them. This chorus of voices is powerful and is vital for changing attitudes and culture. But they also need support and practical action too. Professionals, parents, politicians, men and women, we can't keep turning a blind eye.
That is why today at Labour's Women's Safety Conference #LabWomenSafety we're demanding action. We're calling for a new law to tackle violence against women - reforming the criminal justice system, bringing in new national standards for policing and victim support, and stronger prevention too. Over the next few months we will be gathering evidence and views so we can make sure those plans are ready for the election and the first Queens Speech.
We're bringing together those who have experienced abuse with experts in how policing and the justice system must be reformed. We'll be joined by unions and employers who've worked to tackle harassment in the workplace and those campaigning for safety on our streets.
And we will hear from Laura Bates, the founder of EveryDay Sexism, Caroline Criado Perez, the feminist campaigner who spoke out against sexist online trolling, and young women like Yas Necati, the 18 year old who set up Campaign4Consent and 16 year old Lili Evans who set up the Twitter Feminist Youth Army.
Perhaps most important of all, we're calling for action to prevent violence and change attitudes towards abuse among the young. That's where we need to start. We can't ignore the way young people's perceptions of sex and the interaction between men and women are being shaped by online access to extreme and violent porn. And we can't stand by while abuse grows.
That is why Labour is committed to introducing compulsory sex and relationship education into schools - teaching zero tolerance of violence in relationships. It is simply incomprehensible that Michael Gove has refused so many times to do this.
Our children and teenagers need sex and relationship education that recognises the realities and helps them build the resilience to cope in an internet age. That means teaching them to respect themselves and each other and the importance of equality in relationships.
And yes, that means boys as well as girls. Men as well as women. No teenage boy should grow up persuaded that abuse is normal, or feeling forced to behave in particular ways to prove their masculinity.
For years we have talked about the importance of empowering our daughters, giving them the confidence to challenge abuse and bringing them up as feminists. If we are going to achieve a real-step change in tackling violence against women, we need our sons growing up as confident feminists too.
And that's why we want men and women signing up together to back new laws, campaign for reform and change attitudes. Violence and viciousness towards women has been tolerated for too long. That's why we're determined a Labour Government will seize the moment, draw on the expertise and energy of those demanding action, and deliver real change.

I found this article in Conservation magazine to be interesting and relevant in our ever more fragmented world.
And I agree, this is the quote of the week:
"We have, in effect, become pastoralists of the wild and arborists of the forests. Speciation in the bigger vertebrates is over—our largest protected areas are just too small to foster new species of elephants, rhinoceroses, apes, bears, and cats. So we throw a few new alleles into the genetic monotony of these isolated populations..."

Last week, we challenged you to name 16 recent Billboard hits after hearing just the first second of each one. But what if your pop music knowledge goes back to a simpler time, a time of compact discs and and grunge, a time when MTV still occasionally played music videos?

"I expected to wait much longer for my furniture but it was delivered at the perfect time for me. The new flooring had just been installed and the furniture arrived 3 days later. It could not have worked out any better. My room now looks like a magazine article with a savings I would not have imagined! Thank you Furniture-savings.com!"
Susan Horn - Michigan
"We purchased the Vaughan Bassett New Haven Bedroom Suite. We couldn't be happier! Easiest furniture purchase ever!! Ordering was easy, regular update emails and fast delivery when furniture was ready. The guys doing the delivery and set up did a great job, neat & fast. I will definitely recommend your website to family and friends. Vaughan Bassett furniture is made in USA and is top quality furniture!!!"
Susan C. - Virginia
"Delivery was scheduled between 6 and 9 pm. They called about 8 pm and stated they were on the way and they arrived at about 8:45. Went straight to work and worked continuously without stop until the table was assembled and set up right in place.
The workers were professional, although if they had uniforms and neater appearance, I would have been more impressed. I can forgive this as they left NC at 5 am and had been at it a long time.
I didn't get there names but I did give them a plate of macaroni which they took with them to eat while they drove to their next job. They could not sit down to enjoy it as they had still more work to do."

"This week I received my Legacy Cottage Hill dining room set. I took a leap of faith and ordered it sight unseen. I am absolutely thrilled with it. The quality is very good.

Yhanks for a great experience and an a dining room set I will enjoy for years to come!"

Don and Sue - NJ
"Beautiful and stunning!!! The pictures do not do justice for this collection. I purchased the AICO Eden Home Office w/a filing cabinet. Superb craftsmanship. I only buy quality furniture ~ Ethan Allen has lost me as a customer ~ Furniture Savings has gained a new one. Jason told me this would be the last "office" I had to buy - he is right. The delivery men were wonderful. Jason is wonderful to work with. This experience has made me loyal customer ~ I'll only be purchasing my furniture from you!! Thank you for such wonderful service. Did I mention you had the best prices on this collection? Simply awesome!!!"

"We ordered a table 6 chairs and 3 barstools from the American Drew-Camden collectionon January 7,2012. Our order arrived May 9, 2012 at 10:40pm. The furniture is beautiful, great deal as long as you are not in a hurry for it to arrive. The delivery men were very kind and respectful. I do wish they would have put something over there shoes when in my home.

"I have had much better success with ordering on internet than visiting individual stores. Will order again when I need something. I called and asked for some touchup as there were a few spots that the paint must have missed. Hopefully will get that soon.(note from store - Touch-up kit mailed out 12-28-09)"

Our Legacy Kids bureau and mirror arrived in perfect condition and the setup was quick and easy. Thank you for a great experience... we got this much more quickly than if we had ordered it at a furniture store and at a significant savings.

Marcy Dubroff - PA
"I purchased a nightstand and chest from the Vaughan Bassett cottage range. I was a little nervous about ordering online since I had never seen the furniture in person and was hesitant because it could have taken months to arrive.
Now that the furniture is here, I'm really glad I ordered it! Besides saving a lot of money off the retail price, the items came a lot sooner than expected; I think it took about 5 weeks total. I was kept up to date by emails to let me know what stage my furniture was at, and the week of the delivery I was called and told when to expect the truck.
The drivers arrived exactly on time, and they were courteous and efficient. They got the furniture set up and in position in just a few minutes, and did not do any damage to the house in the process.
All in all, I was really impressed! I'll definitely use this site again if I need to buy more furniture. Thanks a lot."
Jenna - Michigan
"Thank you would recommend you guys to everyone and the next time I need furniture I am going to come to you first. Great price great service and the furniture is perfect. Thank you"

"We happily ordered a Kincaid Gathering House cherry sideboard, but it was delivered while we were on vacation. The friend who accepted the delivery didn't notice two slight imperfections in the finish. When we returned, I called about the "dings" and Jason in Customer Service was quick to remedy the situation. A local furniture repairman took care of the marks the next morning! :)
Thank you, thank you. . .we love the piece of fine furniture."
Nancy - Ohio
"Everything came as expected, though you used a huge 53' trailer truck. That put turning around on my driveway very tough.
**** Store Reply **** - Glad to hear everything went well. Our delivery service does use 53' trucks on deliveries West of the Mississippi to make them cost effective."
R Dutton - WA
"The American Drew bed is very well made and looks fabulous in the bedroom. The only problem was the shipping company they use had numerous problems in getting the bed from NC to FL. ***** Store reply ***** We apologize for the delay in getting your order. Those delivery delays are unusual and the personel that caused the delay is no longer with the delivery service."

"Just wanted to say I was a bit hesitant to order furniture via the internet, but am quite satisfied with the outcome. The transaction went very smoothly. I was kept informed of the status of delivery. We made a trip to my son's house over the July 4th weekend so I was able to see the Lea Elation dresser/mirror in my granddaughter's room. It looks really good!
Thank You,"
Charlotte & William - CALVERT CITY, Kentucky
"Furniture was delivered within the specified time range and had an accurate update of status on what was happening with the furniture! There was great communication from the delivery people to ensure that we had a date/time that worked for us and the delivery guys were prompt - they even called when traffic was heavier than expected to say they would be 30 min later than when they had called a few hours previously. GREAT quality furniture also.
We ordered two of the 5 Drawer Chest, Bedford Falls Soft White BB94-115 Vaughan Bassett. Its great!"

"Very good prices and prompt service. However color displayed on your website does not match real color of furniture. ( in our case the furniture was darker when delivered). Delivery and set up was included which makes this a fantastic deal. would definitely use your company again.

We certainly try our very best to make sure the images shown online are as true to color as possible. Due to monitor settings and lighting when catalogs pictures are taken, colors may vary slightly from picture shown on website. "

Thanks for keeping me informed of furniture delivery status.

Sandra Smith - Texas
"We just bought a Legacy dining set and it is absolutely beautiful! Not only do we love the furniture, but the customer service was second to none.

Thank You!"
Tara Zuk - New Jersey
"I was a little apprehensive about buying furniture off the internet, but I fell in love with the monte carlo bedroom set from AICO. I couldn't find the entire set thru other sites, but furniture-savings was able to get the entire set together for me, and delivered it the day after we closed on our new house. One of the drawer handles was demaged in shipping, but they replaced it pretty quickly at no cost to me. I would definitely purchase from them again, and recommend them to anyone looking for quality furniture at a fair price."
Shaw-nay Crime - Georgia
"I have never ordered furniture online before and was apprehensive about the whole process. Yesterday the semi arrived and the two men carefully unwrapped everything outside and they carried it and set it up exactly where I wanted it. I had ordered Vaughn-Bassett bedroom set and the quality was superb."
Patrick - Illinois
"The entire buying process was wonderful! The furniture is beautiful. When it was delivered a noticed a very small chip in one of the dresser. The delivery mean patched it up and I could not even tell where the nick was.
I will be ordering again!"
Rosemary Armento - New Jersey
"Service was above and beyond! I ordered a replacement part and made a mistake on the order. One short note to their customer service dept and it was in the mail that same day. Thank you!!!

The salesperson was very courteous and made our purchase and easy one to accomplish. He kept us informed of the progress for the delivery. The delivery guys were awesome, very professional and friendly. We will definitely recommend your company and will purchase again from you."
Christy - Virginia
"Bought Legacy Kids furniture. Very good. However, delivery guys left the whole packaging in my property and left. I end up having to clean up after them. My suggestion is to watch them closely and make sure they take everything with them.
***** Store Reply *****
We apologize for the debris being left. Starting May 1st, the delivery service men are supposed to remove ALL the debris upon delivery."
L. Kwa - New Jersey
"Price point was excellent, furniture arrived in a timely manner however the delivery company re-scheduled twice. Once we finally received the furniture on the 3rd time everything was fine."
Jared - Alabama
"I received my Vaughn Bassett bed on Monday. The men who delivered it were amazing! Carried all the pieces down our long narrow driveway and assembled the bed in "minutes." We love the bed and it looks wonderful! Thank you for a great and affordable experience!
Although its scarey ordering a large piece of furniture unseen in a store online, I was more than pleased with the results. I would highly recommend your company to any of my friends or family.

Rogers Family - Georgia
"Great company to order from along with great prices. I saved over $1,500 ordering through Furniture-Savings.
Best prices and selection on the web. Although we did have two chairs damaged upon delivery, all I had to do was call customer serice and after speaking with Jason, I felt confident that we would receive replacement merchandise asap. Delivery was about seven weeks and the delivery folks were great.

Denise - OH
"We purchased furniture from the Michael Amini Collection (AICO). We purchased four pieces of the sectional sofa from the Toledo collection, and two leopard print chairs from the Trevi collection. We just had the furniture delivered, but are not putting it to use yet, since we are still remodeling part of our house. We have the furniture stored and covered in a finished room. But, the quality, and beauty of each piece is exceptional. Our salesperson at Furniture-Savings.com was Jason. I was very satisfied with his courteous service, and the overall service of the company. The delivery men were also very courteous, and accommodated us wonderfully, especially since we live on terraced ground with a lot of steps. Even the people at AICO, where the furniture is manufactured, couldn't have been more helpful. I needed "exact" measurements of one of the pieces of the sofa, to make sure it would fit properly in a particular place, and they were most accommodating, and very prompt in getting"

Health Department offers mercury-free flu vaccine clinics
Staff Report
Winnebago County Health Department (WCHD) has scheduled 54 flu vaccine clinics for the 2012 season.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the WCHD recommend all individuals 6 months and older receive a flu shot.
Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory disease that infects the nose, throat and lungs, and can lead to serious complications, hospitalization or even death.
Influenza is spread by coughing, sneezing or nasal secretions. Anyone can get influenza, but rates of infection are highest among children.
For most people, flu symptoms last only a few days. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, chills, fatigue, cough, headache and muscle aches. Pneumonia and bronchitis are examples of serious flu-related complications.
The flu also can cause certain health conditions, like diabetes, asthma, and heart and lung disease, to become worse. These conditions also put you at greater risk of flu complications.
WCHD Public Health Administrator Mike Bacon said: "It is not too early to get your flu shot. The flu season can begin as early as October, but most commonly peaks in January or February. However, every flu season is different. Flu vaccine provided in September will give protection throughout the season. Influenza affects everyone differently; even healthy individuals can get the flu and it can be serious. By being vaccinated, you can protect yourself from influenza and help to prevent spreading it to others."
According to WCHD, there are two reasons for getting an annual flu shot. The first reason is that because flu viruses are constantly changing, flu vaccines are usually updated from one season to the next to protect against the most recent and most commonly circulating viruses. The second reason is that a person's immune protection from vaccination declines over time and annual vaccination is needed for optimal protection.
This year's flu vaccine is made in the same way as past flu vaccines and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, an annual average of 100 million doses of influenza vaccine have been used in the United States each year.
The 2012-2013 flu vaccine is designed to protect against three different strains of influenza — the A H3N2 virus, the A H1N1 virus and the influenza B virus.
Since the viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated), you cannot get the flu from the vaccination. Generally, side effects are a sore arm or redness around the injection site. The vaccine takes usually two weeks for your body to develop antibodies. These antibodies fight off infection if you are exposed to the flu virus.
The following three flu shots are available:
• a regular flu shot approved for people ages 6 months and older;
• a high-dose flu shot approved for people 65 and older; and
• an intradermal flu shot approved for people 18 to 64 years of age.
Individuals with the following conditions are highly encouraged to get an annual flu shot: young children; pregnant women; individuals who care for children younger than 6 months of age; people with chronic health conditions such as heart, lung or diabetes, or a weakened immune system; health care workers; and people 65 years of age and older.
An annual flu shot is $25 or covered by Medicare Part B or covered by Medicaid. High-dose flu shot is covered by Medicare Part B for seniors 65 and older. Intradermal flu shot is $25 for ages 18-64. Pneumonia shot is $60, or covered by Medicare Part B.
Flu shots are administered by Registered Nurses from the WCHD and are thimerosal (mercury)-free.
WCHD's complete flu clinic schedule can be found at www.wchd.org, or by calling (815) 720-4264.
Take the following everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs and to prevent the flu:
• Clean your hands — Wash your hands with soap and warm water after coughing, sneezing or using the bathroom.
• Cover your nose and mouth — Use a tissue when coughing or sneezing. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow — not your hands.
• Contain your germs — Stay home if you have the flu. If you have fever or chills and a cough or sore throat, call your doctor.
For more about the 2012-2013 flu season, visit the WCHD website at www.wchd.org, or the CDC at www.cdc.gov.
From the Sept. 19-25, 2012, issue

Tuesday: New York, 04:42pm
Posted by Brad O'Mance on Nov 21 2012, 11:26
We actually had some time to mooch about New York today and while Rihanna did an album signing at Best Buy (we thought about popping along but the queue was huge, with fans apparently waiting since 6am for the chance to have a bit of a chat with her (mind you, we've been on a plane with her for seven days in the hope of doing the same)). We decided to visit One Direction world instead!
It's basically a slightly unofficial looking pop-up shop thing near Madison Square Garden that sells a lot of 1D tat.
Inside it's also full of delightful poetry such as this.
And this. :(
And in no way does it try and exploit fans by charging shitloads for ridiculous things like a onesie.
Beyoncé's '7/11′ and 'Ring Off' are now on the internet in full
Another bit of Gwen Stefani's new single appears in an ad for a small car.
POTENTIALLY SPURIOUS Q4 UPDATE: Apparently the Rihanna album is coming "very soon"

The assessment of past performance was to result in an overall performance risk rating of either exceptional. Offerors without "relevant" past performance were to receive a neutral rating.

TULSA – Patsy Sutton, the wife of former Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton and a woman long projected as the matriarch of the state's first family of basketball, has died.
Patsy Sutton, wife of Eddie Sutton, dies at 74
Sutton, also the mother of Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton and ORU assistant Sean Sutton – who also served as the head coach at OSU – and Tulsa banker Steve Sutton, had been in St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa since suffering a major stroke Dec. 28.
She was 74.
The Sutton family had been asking for prayers since her hospitalization, leading to an outpouring of support from around the state.
Patsy was often referred to as the "rock" of the Sutton family, credited with providing strength and love during challenges and trials that included health problems for Eddie and Sean.
"The Sutton family would like to thank everyone for the prayers and thoughts that have surrounded and been given to us the last days we have been at Saint Francis Hospital," Steve Sutton, the oldest son said in a written statement Tuesday.
"We have lost a wonderful and cherished wife, mother, mother-in-law, friend and 'our honey.' Thank you again for the outpouring of support you have given our family."
A memorial service is scheduled 2 p.m. Friday at the First United Methodist Church, 1115 S. Boulder Ave., in Tulsa.

We stayed at the biltmore for two nights for a wedding last June. This is a beautiful historic hotel with a grand feeling to it. We kept hearing about the "largest pool in the continental US" and were actually disappointed by the pool area. The pool itself is so big, that the area to sunbathe is cramped and crowded. The pool side restaurant/bar is beautiful as are the multiple bar/lounge areas around the hotel. The hotel is a car-ride away from any nightlife or restaurants (other than the hotel restaurants). The room was small, but clean, nicely appointed and comfortable. In general, this hotel has a european feel to it. We enjoyed our stay and the wedding (which was held in the upstairs ballroom) was absolutely incredible. This is a fabulous site for a function.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The AAA Four Diamond Awarded hotel features 275 guest rooms including 130 spacious Mediterranean styled suites and two famed Presidential Suites, a Donald Ross 18 hole golf course, 10 lighted tennis courts, the signature Palme d'Or restaurant, Biltmore Spa, The Culinary Academy, 75,000 square feet of meeting and function space and is a preferred venue for notable high society events and weddings.The legendary Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables has been a favorite of world leaders, celebrities, and sports stars since its opening in the 1920s. Offering much more than exceptional accommodations, the Biltmore Hotel showcases championship golf, cosmopolitan dining, a luxury spa and premier conference facilities, all while exceeding our refined guests' expectations. Perhaps this is why we've remained Miami's only four-star, four-diamond hotel for six consecutive years. Graced with natural elegance and sophistication, the Biltmore Hotel offers a stunning location in the exclusive Coral Gables area, minutes from South Beach, downtown Miami, Coconut Grove and the Coral Gables business district. Surround yourself by old world charm and beauty at the Biltmore Hotel. ... more less
