About Madame Alexander Doll Company
Madame Alexander Dolls
Madame Beatrice Alexander created The Madame Alexander Doll Company in 1923. She wanted to engage the child through their imagination with dolls. In the 1930's, she created dolls based on licensed characters from movies, books, and literature, which included Alice in Wonderland, Gone with the Wind, and Little Women. Madame Alexander was the first doll creator that had the dolls eyes open and close, and she did that in the 1940's. Madame Alexander thought outside the box along with her designers for her dolls. She was the first one to introduce a full figured fashion doll, and the first to create dolls that honored living people, such as Queen Elizabeth. Madame Alexander passed away in 1990 at the age of 95, but her dolls are still going strong. The City of New York issued a Proclamation to the Madame Alexander Doll Company for ninety years of designing dolls in New York City in 2013. The Madame Alexander Dolls that are offered today are the Newborn Nursery dolls, which are life-life of a newborn baby. They have eyes that open and close, soft skin, hair, and every detail is in place. Other Madame Alexander Dolls include, The Collection Dolls, Holiday's, Storyland, and Women of History. There is a doll for every age and collection with the Madame Alexander Doll Company. As Madame Alexander said herself, "Love is in the details."

Indiana proposes 2015 trapping season for otters
SEYMOUR, Ind. - The state of Indiana is proposing a limited trapping season for river otters and to allow for the sale of river otter furs less than 20 years after the animals were reintroduced after becoming extinct in Indiana.
Indiana Department of Natural Resources spokesman Phil Bloom tells The Tribune of Seymour that It hasn't been determined where trapping would be permitted. But he says the animals are found in 74 of Indiana's 92 counties. The animals were removed from the state's endangered species list in 2005.
Bloom says the otter reintroduction has been successful, but it's up to the state to maintain a balance between keeping a healthy population and preventing conflicts with people.
Bloom says the earliest a river otter trapping season would occur is 2015-16.

Now, GF goodies are a curious bunch. Often they're crumbly
or cardboard-like, flavorless or way too sweet. But Sally's has hit the nail on
the head with their scrumptious sweets…and trust me, I've tried a lot of 'em.
The brownies were dense and fudge-y with a buttery chocolate
flavor that was solid without being too intense. The chocolate chip cookies
were just like my mom's—crunchy and loaded with chocolate chips—though they did have a slightly earthy aftertaste.
Aside from the GF assortment, the bakeshop offers loads of
options: tea scones and cookies, cakes, macaroons, butter cookies, black and
whites, oatmeal cookies and more. And best of all, these treats are made from
all-natural ingredients, and are preservative and trans fat-free. The bakeshop
itself also takes kosher, sugar-free and gluten-free diets very seriously—a
huge plus for folks with dietary restrictions.

Great place, nice people. Sarah's class is good and challenging. Prices are pretty good too! Location is near some great roast pork and dumplings spots. Prosperity Dumplings and Wah Fung #1 Fast Food.
Being generous here, still great food...but the delivery guy did not bring change and the person packing the order did not pack white rice for an entree order. We ended up giving an 8$ tip as a result on a 40$ order...
Please be more careful next time, both things are pretty important.
I booked on their website (which didn't have availability until 2 weeks later).
After waiting two weeks, the day before my appointment, a lady calls during the workday asks if she can reschedule. She also asks if my voucher has expired (we bought it two weeks ago). She then asks me how long the cleaning is.
We've been waiting for this cleaner for two weeks now as that was their earliest availability.
They made me agree to shift the cleaning 2 hours earlier, then without telling me they shifted it back to the original time.
The guy who arrived was a nice guy, but he said it was his first job.
He arrived with only a tin of ajax and 'spot remover'. He did not have a sponge or a rag or anything else. At the end, I generously tipped him because I felt badly for him since he wanted to keep the job, but he thought I owed him more money to pay for the cleaning...
The lady on the phone did not communicate to her worker that I had already paid via Livingsocial. I booked on their website and input the code.
This business won't last long. It's unfortunate, I would love to pay someone who needs the job. However, I would rather pay someone who needs the job and can do it properly.
Also, the lady on the phone who books the workers is extremely rude. Instead of being apologetic about messing up my appointment, she got mad at me for bringing it up to her in the first place.
Family and girlfriend came here on a Saturday evening on a Travelzoo voucher. Really nice atmosphere, great food.
Portions are huge for what you pay. The mussels appetizer must have been 30+ mussels. The tuna tartar was also pretty large.
We had branzino, sea bass, steak tartar, salmon. All the portions were huge.
The food was delicious, my fish was charred nicely.
For dessert, we had the dark chocolate cake, apple tart, lemon cheesecake, and white chocolate.
Service was great, we were bid farewell at the door after we left.
Overall, the bill with all of the above + 4 drinks would have been 240$ without the coupon. That's 60$ a person with huge portions (appetizer + main + dessert + drink) of good food with pleasant service. Not bad at all!
10$ gets you a half a spoonful of meat. Every single time it's the same tiny portion. Surely you can afford more than half a spoon. Your margins have gone down in recent quarters but portions haven't gone up. Either the cost of meat is rising or someone higher up is doing a bad job on inventory. This isn't a franchise, so something is amiss. Better off supporting small businesses nearby with 10$ and getting some protein for lunch.
I had a follow-up question recently and their team got back to me and spoke to me over the phone. They couldn't do anything legally since it was a default and I had to appeal, which can only be done via mail. However, they walked me through the process, looked at the paperwork, and basically did all of this knowing that they would not get paid in the end since it isn't going to end up in court anymore (too late for that).
I strongly recommend them due to their honesty and generosity. They seem like they are genuinely out there to help people. I hope this business stays around.
I try not to go to clubs anymore, but I can't miss my good friend's birthday.
The big bouncer outside is extremely rude. He is a typical 6 foot 5 overweight bouncer with a leather jacket. You can't miss him. Obviously this happens in a lot of clubs, however, there was absolutely nobody waiting and it was raining. It was also already 1:15. My friend had a birthday party reserved there and my girlfriend and I were forced to stay outside for at least 20 minutes in the company of our charming bouncer.
He stops us at the chain and just says "wait".
15 minutes later, I tell him to be a little for transparent since:
1. Nobody else is waiting
2. It's raining
3. He let in 15 people who came after us
4. She has a table
5. They are mostly girls
We asked him what is taking so long. He gives us a rude reply and claims my friend's quota is full and that somebody is going inside to check and that I'm being impatient.
I don't understand. This is Goldbar, not Berghain in Germany. Get off your high horse. Your venue is going to last another 2 years just like every other venue in NYC that acts like this. When will they learn. The only thing that differentiates this category of clubs in NYC is service.
He said "I'm standing out in the rain too". Well, you are paid to do this. This is your job. Some people are paid to clean toilets. If you don't like it and you have the prospect of getting a better job, then do that. Otherwise, deal with it, you're probably overpaid for the quality of work you do anyways.
He can be quoted saying that the party I mentioned did not have a table. Surprise! We go inside eventually as the doorman cockily finally smirks and waves his little finger... "These two"... and guess what! They have a table.
The music was alright. DJ had a clear case of ADD and arguably the worst transitions I've ever heard. He goes from hard style to a slowish hip hop bpm mid measure.
Crowd is typical.
I had fun inside because my friends are all awesome.
1 star due to the egregious experience.
Edit: our group was about 80% women, above average looking. TLDR: read bullets 1-5 above.
The food was great. Cool idea of Japanese/Korean fusion. I had a chicken katsu with jap chae, brown rice, a fried egg, 2 mandoo, kim chi, cole slaw. It cost $17 including delivery. The flavours are there and the quantity and price are very reasonable for the taste. Financial District does not have much to offer when it comes to food. This is a solid option.
Constructive criticism: The fried egg in my platter was slightly overcooked (didn't run much when popped). Cook it less next time. The food arrived cold. (-1 star)
The presentation (yes presentation), is quite nice. It kind of comes in a plastic bento box.
The rice was nice and al dente. I am a fan, just make sure you deliver it warm if I'm 3 blocks away and don't overcook the egg.
I was high while writing this, sorry if the ideas are scattered.
Had a business meeting here.
Service was great. Steak (we could choose from steak, chicken, salmon) was awful. It was a nice warm red on the inside, but there was literally no juice. It was an extremely dry steak.
Mashed potatoes were good, and the salad (walnuts and bluecheese) was okay...greens were wilted.
My girlfriend took me here for my birthday on 2/27/2014 for dinner.
The service was amazing. Simon Kim's wait staff was professional and they even wrote "Happy Birthday" and my name on the menu!
We ordered the Monkey Bread (which comes with amazing condiments), Market Vegetables, Barbequed Octopus, Bucatini, Suckling Pig. We were full at the end.
The Market Vegetables were the best dish. He uses a lot of baby vegetables and that enables you to get very complex bites of flavour. The vegetables are also very rich, which was a pleasant surprise. Bucatini was a close second. This was delicious. Monkey bread was incredibly fluffy with delicious spreads (can't decide which was better).
The octopus was a tad too charred for my taste and the pig was slightly dry for pork belly.
Our waiter also gave us a free dish! Beets with frozen goat cheese. This was incredible.
For dessert we had this s'mores dish which was a great end to the meal. Happy birthday was written on it in delicious melted chocolate.
On our way out Simon Kim waved goodbye to us and said "Happy Birthday Eddie".
Food is wonderful, price is reasonable. The service was on another level. It was one of the most personable restaurant experiences I have ever had. Obviously, it was my birthday, but they made me feel special and that's important.
They had an extremely non-pretentious atmosphere despite the level of service they had going. There aren't many restaurants that can blend the two. I noticed Simon giving hand signals every now and again to covertly guide the staff to run things smoothly without breaking flow.

Inmates refurbish wheelchairs for needy
PENDLETON, Ind. - Inmates in Pendleton sent out their second shipment this week of refurbished wheelchairs.
The wheelchairs are refurbished through a program called "Wheels for the World."
Inmates at the Pendleton Correctional Facility restore the wheelchairs for recipients around the world. The work is done at the Correctional Industrial Facility.
"This operation is about changing lives for the better, and with 442 wheelchairs refurbished so far, it has done just that," said Superintendent Wendy Knight. "It is humbling."
Organizers say some of the recipients in impoverished countries literally have to crawl to distribution sites to receive their wheelchairs.
The shipment sent out this week was headed to Romania, organizers said.

A bruising Land Rover Defender encounter
Relevant offers
Road tests
When the idea for the first Land Rover was drawn up, it's doubtful its instigator Maurice Wilks, Rover's design chief, imagined that the exact shape he sketched out in 1947 on the sands of Red Wharf bay near his farm in Anglesey would still be available in showrooms more than 60 years later.
That gritty medium, scored with a walking stick to show the shape of a potential farmer's friend of a vehicle, explains why the Land Rover is so rigidly square. It also had to be cheap to make and, being fashioned out of surplus aluminium sheet, rather than expensive steel in those first stark years of austerity after World War II, it was easier and cheaper to bend and fix in straight lines than in fancy curves. That first car was built on a former WWII Jeep chassis and had a centre steering wheel. Both features were missing from the first production models when they appeared in 1948.
In fact, that prototype Land Rover had more curves than the current Defender 110 (One-Ten) tested here, with the earliest car's front mudguards describing a neat 90-degree radius from the bonnetline to bumper.
Things have changed in 65 years. Fuel is no longer kept under the driver's seat, one or two modern home comforts have snuck into the dash, which isn't a painted metal plank any more, and there are heated seats and air conditioning, as well as traction control and ABS to help you to go and stop, plus flash alloy wheels add a little visual street cred.
But most else is the same as it was at the start. It's not like granddad's axe, where the blade was changed along with the handle. In the Defender's case, the handle hasn't changed at all.
And doesn't it look the business? It generates such warm feelings from passers-by, something largely unknown when you have a modern SUV, unless you're helping someone's car out of liquefaction, snow or flooding.
It's possible that they're admiring my "brilliant restoration", which is what one starry-eyed pedestrian called it. He looked at "my" One-Ten with that same half-admiring, half-sympathetic gaze that you get from someone who loves your gorgeous villa but is already thinking of the work it entails.
"No, it's brand-new," I told him.
"When did they start making them again?" he asked.
"Never stopped," I explained.
Like that favourite villa, a Land Rover, even a brand-spanking-new one, means you have to make a few compromises. There's no airbag for a start and when I told a front-seat passenger as much, she visibly flinched. There's a bulging loaf of a plastic boss across the steering wheel's spokes, but it's merely for show.
The Ford Transit van-like dash and vents introduced about five years ago make the Land Rover's interior a little less like the inside of an iron maiden, but it still has squared-off edges into which you bash legs and arms and, while the big, tall between-the-seats cubby is very useful, I even managed to bang my head against it when clambering in one time.
The front cabin is very narrow. So tight is it, that changing gear and steering is a little like using a knife and fork while sitting next to a Belarusian shot-putter in a budget airline seat. One advance over the old model is the provision of power front windows, which means that drivers will no longer wear a deep bruise in their right leg from the earlier version's protruding winder.
Surprisingly, it doesn't take long to get used to the narrow cabin and, while you can't push the seat back very far, the almost vertical leg placement is perfect for accurate clutch manipulation, and throttle and brake work. I warmed to the beast quickly - buoyed of course by other people's admiration for the old thing.
Speaking of "warmed", the heated seats, clad in cloth and leather and toasting the lower back as well as the backside, were superb. Marvellous during our cold, rain-lashed, recent weather.
Some people like SUVs for their view and accessibility. Well the One-Ten certainly has the view, but climbing aboard is nothing short of an Outward Bound course, especially up front.
Accessing the second row is a bit of a clamber too but, once you're in, the three-place bench is a very pleasant place to sit and nothing like the flat, featureless expanse of old. It offers good legroom thanks to the extra height, and it's much the same in the very back, where two bucket seats offer space and comfort for two, and can be folded and locked into the sides of the load area when not in use. When these seats are stowed, the load area is very useful, and it's carpeted, which is very out of character for a Land Rover workhorse.
What you have is a roomy, and very airy up to seven-seater, with a very strong visual presence.
It's all powered by a new 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine that came in to replace the outgoing 2.4-litre unit. The new unit makes as much power and torque as the old one but with a lot less fuss, thanks to an effective engine insulation cover. While still noisy, it's now quiet enough to make the car's stereo worth having. The unit works well, actually, and has auxiliary input.
The spread of gears from the six-speed manual does allow the Defender some semblance of refinement at highway speeds. Where previous versions could send you hoarse through having to shout a conversation at 100kmh, the 2012 model requires merely a slightly raised voice.
Land Rover says that the top speed has now crept up to a heady 145kmh from 133kmh previously. That's irrelevant, but it does feel quicker off the line with 100kmh possible in less than 15 seconds. The new car is no less thirsty at 11litres/100km and, while the One-Ten will be a favourite among green fans as Land Rovers have always been, best not tell them that its CO2 emissions are the same as the old model's 295g/km. The use of a particulate filter, does mean that the 2.2 complies with Euro 5 ratings, however.
In nasty weather, I drove the One-Ten through some serious stuff, on the edge of an angry-looking Waimakariri River, and even on wet river boulders, streaming berms and banks, it felt the way all high-low range Land Rovers do - in complete charge.
I like the way the front-end gropes deep into holes at low speed, "walking" into and out of obstacles while imparting good information through the worm and roller steering. On the rare occasions when low-range was needed - a steep, wet grassy bank was a case in point - the old beast could be left with the clutch all the way home and steered gently up the slope at idle in first without a thought of wheelspin.
While you can use the diesel engine's compression to hold the One-Ten back on steep downhills, you have to be extra careful, as the 2.2-tonne unit has no electronic hill-descent control - something we take for granted these days in less serious soft-roaders. Thus loose downhill surfaces require a little more skill than modern SUVs might but I'd never bet against this wonderful old-timer on general dirt work. It's easy to point and direct over boulders, and through streams. I didn't get to test the auxiliary snorkel or the big black front bash bar but, then, I'm a pretty careful dirt digger. However, it's nice to know such serious off-road contraptions are there "just in case".
On the road, the Land Rover tracks true and, despite its height and centre of gravity, does not appear to be as affected by side winds as the previous car. The worm and roller steering was faithful enough and, while the One-Ten is no sports car, it can be accurately pointed and cornered from the driver's perch. Low-speed manoeuvres can be a pain, however, as the Land Rover has a massive steering circle and you have to take wide, deliberate approaches to narrow gaps and car park spaces. Thankfully, other road users appeared not to mind the big white wagon's careful manoeuvring while they waited. They may not having been as patient with a Range Rover or something big, tall and German.
I didn't think so at first, but I could genuinely live with the Defender 110. There's so much off-road ability and charm in the car, that even the $71,500 price seems pretty reasonable, especially when you know that the iconic design will never, ever date.
There's no provision of an automatic option, of course, and painted metal and shiny plastic parts are in places where modern SUVs offer up velours and posh vinyls. However, the smattering of home comforts and chassis aids are just the right ones, the cabin space for the driver's six best mates is remarkably practical and I could even live with the bruises I know I'd get each time I try to rush aboard the car.
If you like refined driving and only want to take an occasional trickle down a forestry road or picnic trail, this is not the vehicle. However, if your sport utility has to stay off the road for days at a time, or tug a seriously large boat to the wharf, and look the part in a wrecked city that's going to need a lot of hard work in the next few years, this is the one on which I'd paint my logo.

Man opens fire after rock thrown through window
A man is in custody after opening fire on a crowd of people.
Deputies said just before 3 a.m., several people began banging on an apartment door at a complex off Walden Glen Circle.
At some point, someone threw a rock through the front window of the apartment, deputies said.
A man inside the apartment then came outside with a gun and fired several shots as the crowd scattered.
Initial 911 calls indicated as many as four people had been shot, but deputies found no victims.
Deputies took the gunman into custody, but it's not yet been said what charges, if any, he will face.
The incident remains under investigation.

Cops: Woman declined to press charges
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes denies hurting a woman who says he threw a glass at her in an Orlando nightclub and claims another woman hit her with the cup, according to a police report released Tuesday.
Holmes told an Orlando Police Department officer that the alleged victim, Anshonae Mills, grabbed his wrist, got in his face and called him a racial name after he asked for his seat back in the VIP section of Club Rain earlier this month.
Mills, 21, told a different story in a civil lawsuit she filed last week against 26-year-old Holmes. In the lawsuit, she claimed that the Super Bowl MVP got in her face and then hit her with the glass after she refused to give up her seat.
Mills' attorneys said at a news conference Tuesday that they hadn't seen the police report and couldn't comment on it.
In the nightclub, Holmes told Mills to get up and move, said Jacques Cooper, the woman's attorney.
"When she refused, Mr. Holmes began to get more belligerent and more aggressive in an attempt to get our client to move from the area, which he claimed was his," Cooper said.
Mills had a quarter-inch abrasion above her right eye but refused medical attention, the police report said.
Holmes denied touching Mills and said another woman threw the glass that hit Mills in the face. After both Mills and Holmes were escorted out of the nightclub, Mills asked the police officer if she could speak to Holmes alone, the police report said.
Holmes agreed to speak with her and they walked several feet away. The police officer saw Mills smiling and rubbing Holmes' face, according to the police report.
A short time later, Mills told the police officer that she didn't want to press charges, the police report said. In the lawsuit, Mills claimed Holmes and a police officer intimidated Mills so she wouldn't press charges.
Orlando Police Department spokeswoman Barbara Jones said the case was closed since Mills declined to prosecute. But an administrative review of the timeliness of the report would be conducted since it was filed Tuesday, three weeks after the incident.
Steelers president Art Rooney II said in a statement that the team is "disappointed" by the allegations made in the lawsuit. Rooney said he would have no further comment until the team gathers more information.
The lawsuit followed a separate incident involving quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who became the subject of a police investigation after a college student alleged he assaulted her in a Georgia nightclub.
Since 2006, Holmes has been charged with marijuana possession in Pittsburgh, domestic violence in Ohio and disorderly conduct in Florida. The marijuana and domestic violence charges were dropped. The disorderly conduct charge was dropped in exchange for a $250 donation to a police officers trust fund.

Chris Wondolowski is your MLS Player of the Month
Oct 4, 2012, 3:30 PM EST
For the third time in the 2012 Major League Soccer season, San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski won the Player of the Month award. He tallied four goals and two assists in five matches, and becomes the first player ever to three-peat in the same season.
Wondolowski, who also took home the hardware in April and June, outpaced New York Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry, who also happens to be his primary competition for the league's Most Valuable Player award as well. San Jose's leading scorer has been the favorite all season — at least since the end of April — but the case for the Frenchman is gaining steam:
Henry has tallied 14 regular season goals, eight behind Wondolowski, along with 12 assists. Henry has scored or set up 26 of New York's 54 goals (48.1 percent), while Wondolowski has been involved in 29 of San Jose's 65 (44.6 percent). The Quakes' marksman has played in seven more games, which some will use to argue his case (more reliable) and others will use to argue Henry's (more efficient).
Who's gonna win? Well, the race isn't over yet. Wondo is still in the lead, but wait until the end of the season to decide. Anything else seems premature. And then, of course, there's Graham Zusi, who actually contributes to a higher percentage of his team's goals. But that's a ridiculous metric to begin with. Heck, let's give the award to Wondo. He deserves it and he'll be so happy. Hugs all around.

I read with much dismay and sadness that the council are planning to close the Charles Cryer Theatre, Secombe Theatre and Wallington Hall and offer them up to developers.
Many of the productions performed there are of a very high standard. The Carshalton Pantomime Company's two-week pantomime held at the Secombe Theatre I believe is usually sold out for every performance and makes money for local charities.
Most of the local theatre companies use the theatres, with some coming from other boroughs - Merton and Croydon - to perform there because their own boroughs can't offer them the facilities they want.
The Warehouse Theatre in Croydon having already been destroyed.
The Wallington Hall is an old building as is the Secombe Theatre having once been a church, but the Charles Cryer Theatre was purpose built and opened by Prince Edward, in place of the old Carshalton Hall, and must have cost the council a lot of money.
I read that the Whitehall, Honeywood Museum and Little Holland House have been granted protection as buildings of historical importance, but surely a lovely building like the Charles Cryer Theatre should also be granted protection.
If savings HAVE to be made then I would say close the Secombe and Wallington Hall, but PLEASE may we save the Charles Cryer Theatre. For it to be taken over by developers and demolished would, in my opinion, be a great tragedy.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

What I Ate For Lunch: School in Liberty Village makes great flapjacks
School Bakery & Cafe is more than a gimmick, with a tall stack of pancakes worth lining up for.

Technically, it was brunch.
But that tall stack of pancakes at School Bakery & Café was my second meal of the day, which started at 6 a.m. because my three children don't sleep in.
By 10 a.m. on a Saturday, I was desperate for more caffeine and a good, solid meal.
Off to School it was.
Chef/owner Brad Moore's scholastically themed restaurant in Liberty Village delivers more than cleverness. The coffee is strong, the decor sweet and the servers engaging.
By getting to School early, I get a seat. The brunch line-up is out the door by 11:30 a.m.
I don't normally eat brunch in restaurants. And I certainly don't order pancakes, something we make at home with the kids. But the buttermilk flapjacks ($13), from the Sweet 'n' Fruity menu section, sounded appealing.
Maybe it was the garnish of mango and candied walnuts. Maybe it was because the more tempting coconut-caramel pancakes ($12) weren't ready.
Or maybe it was how the waitress answered the question: What's the difference between a flapjack and a pancake?
"There is no difference," she disarmingly confessed.
(Research later proves her correct.)
Whatever their name, the flapjacks were wonderful: five good-sized discs balancing fluff with heft. Mottled brown from the griddle, some of them were ringed with lacy, caramelized bits of escaped batter. They admirably soaked up the maple syrup. (The small beaker is reminiscent of high-school chemistry class.)
You could argue the lightly whipped cream — pourable rather than spoonable, strong in vanilla — is superfluous. I'd disagree. You might also argue against adding a pair of subtly sweet Beretta cranberry-maple sausages ($5), but I wouldn't. I quibble only with the unripe mango. Fruit this pale and hard shouldn't be served.
School Bakery & Café, 70 Fraser Ave., 416-588-0005, sbcto.com. Open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesday to Sunday, 5 to 11 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., then 5 to 11 p.m.

Death toll rises as storm Aere exits the Philippines
MANILA (Reuters) - The death toll from tropical storm Aere climbed to 15 people as emergency workers rushed to restore electricity and telephone services in the central Philippines, disaster officials said on Tuesday.
Aere, which caused minor damage to rice and corn farms in central Bicol region, weakened as it moved north towards southern Japan. By Thursday, Aere will be 130 km (80 miles) west southwest of the Japanese island of Okinawa.
"Tropical storm Aere is still expected to bring rains over the western section of Luzon," said weather bureau official Elvie, warning people on the main island against flash floods, landslides and storm surges, particularly in coastal areas.
At least 10 people had previously been killed in drowning, landslides and electrocutions caused by the storm, now weakened though still packing gusts of up to 80 kph.
Winds toppled transmission lines, plunging wide areas of the coconut-producing region into darkness and cutting mobile phone services.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said the storm dumped rain on 10 central provinces with a population of about 170,000 before hitting land in Luzon's northeastern mountains on Monday.
Based on initial estimates from the disaster agency, more than 7,200 hectares (17,800 acres - 27 square miles) of rice, corn and high-value crops valued at 118 million pesos ($2.7 million) were destroyed or damaged. Coconut plantations were largely spared.
Farm damage was minimal as 80 percent of farmlands in rice-producing areas on Luzon had been harvested before Aere inundated wide areas, the agency said.
An average of 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every year, causing death and destroying infrastructure, property and crops, and the intensity of the typhoons has grown stronger in recent years largely due to climate change. ($1 = 43 pesos)

Hi: 7° Lo:5°
Wednesday 31 October 2012 Updated: 02/11 12:14
UNION chiefs have slammed London Taxi International administrators for making 156 workers redundant - 99 at the headquarters in Coventry - just a day after taking over the running of the cash-strapped firm.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) had said it was in discussions with several parties interested in buying the Holyhead Road-based black cab maker.
But in a statement on Wednesday night said they had no choice be get rid of what amounts to half the UK workforce to 'overcome the group's operational issues' but insisted there were enough workers left to ensure the firm would continue to operate.
Roger Maddison, Unite national officer for the automotive industry, said: "Only last night (Tuesday) PWC were telling us there were significant interested parties.
"Now the administrators are ruthlessly sacking over 150 highly skilled workers at the iconic black cab maker.
"The black cabs are world famous and we believe this company has a future. How can PWC treat this company as a going concern with virtually no staff?
"The black cab is part of Britain's car manufacturing heritage; the government must now be on standby to save this historic company from being left to the vultures."
Manganese Bronze, LTI's parent company, had previously agreed to suspend sales while a recall relating to a faulty steering box.
Matthew Hammond, joint administrator and PwC partner, said: "Regretfully, without financial support to overcome the Group's operational issues we have had to make staff redundancies.
"While the steering box recall remains, there is a voluntary suspension on vehicle sales, and we are now concentrating all resources on testing the solution to the steering fault. We have retained sufficient numbers of staff across the dealership, head office and production network to address the operational, technical and financial circumstances that the business faces."
In total 108 staff have been retained or laid off. The 12 that have been laid off have been sent home on partial pay and will be called back into work should vehicle production start up again.
Of the 176 employees based at the head office and manufacturing site in Coventry, 99 have been made redundant and of the 98 employees based at the dealerships in London, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Coventry, 57 have been made redundant.
The retained staff based in Coventry will continue to focus on finding a solution for the steering fault alongside head office resource to keep the business running.
The remaining staff based in the dealerships across the UK will continue to service taxis and will be involved in the steering box refit once a solution has been found.

Undoubtedly Motivated By Finances
FINANCIAL PLANNING: NATIONAL FOOTBALL POST's Brad Biggs wrote there is "no denying that the trade" the NFL Panthers made last week to send S Chris Harris to the Bears was "motivated by finances." Panthers coach John Fox said, "We've got a budget and that had something to do with it." The team owed Harris more than $2M in "base pay this year and he was due $7.7[M] over the next three years, more than Carolina wanted to pay with the team shedding big salaries this offseason." Biggs: "The appearance, at least, is the Panthers are going on the cheap before a possible labor showdown" (NATIONALFOOTBALLPOST.com, 5/3).
HOST WITH THE MOST? NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman prior to last night's Canucks-Blackhawks Western Conference Semifinals Game Two said that Blackhawks President John McDonough "has been pushing to play host to the NHL All-Star Game and entry draft and has been in frequent contact." Bettman said, "The Blackhawks are interested in as many league events as they can get. Obviously this is a great city. We had a wonderful Winter Classic here and we're mindful of that. From our standpoint it's more of a question of having a limited number of assets to allocate over 30 clubs and we're trying to be fair and judicious in doing that" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 5/4).
FOLLOWING THE RULES: Stars C Mike Modano said that the NHL "has told him he cannot be both a player and an owner." Modano is part of a group hoping to buy the Stars and he said that when his group, which includes former Stars President Jim Lites, "made inquiries, the league made it clear that a person with an ownership stake in the team may not also play." Mario Lemieux from '00-06 was both a player and owner of the Penguins, but Modano said that the rules "have been changed" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 5/4).

Texas Gov. Rick Perry was defiant Tuesday as he was booked on abuse of power charges, saying he would "fight this injustice with every fiber of my being."
The Republican, who is mulling a second presidential run in 2016, was indicted after carrying out a threat to veto funding for state public corruption prosecutors. He has long called the case a political ploy, and dozens of supporters chanting his name and holding signs, some saying "Stop Democrat Games," greeted him when he arrived at the Travis County Courthouse in Austin.
"I'm going to fight this injustice with every fiber of my being. And we will prevail," Perry said before walking inside, where his fingerprints and mug shot were taken. The photo shows Perry with a thin smile and without his signature black-framed glasses.
The longest-serving governor in Texas history was indicted last week for coercion and official oppression for publicly promising to veto $7.5 million for the state public integrity unit, which investigates wrongdoing by elected officials and is run by the Travis County district attorney's office. Perry threatened the veto if the county's Democratic district attorney, Rosemary Lehmberg, stayed in office after a drunken driving conviction.
Lehmberg refused to resign and Perry carried out the veto, drawing an ethics complaint from a left-leaning government watchdog group.
Perry was indicted by a grand jury in Austin, a liberal bastion in otherwise fiercely conservative Texas.
But he isn't letting the case keep him from a packed travel schedule that will take him to the early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina over the next two weeks. After his 2012 presidential campaign flamed out, the Republican opted not to seek re-election as governor in November — leaving him more time to focus on rehabilitating his image nationally.
If convicted on both counts, Perry could face a maximum 109 years in prison — though legal experts across the political spectrum have said the case against him may be a tough sell to a jury. No one disputes that Perry has the right to veto any measures passed by the state Legislature, including any parts of the state budget.
But the complaint against Perry alleges that by publicly threatening a veto and trying to force Lehmberg to resign, he coerced her. The Republican judge assigned to the case has assigned a San Antonio-based special prosecutor who insists the case is stronger than it may outwardly appear.
Perry has hired a team of high-powered attorneys, who are being paid with state funds to defend him.
Perry is the first Texas governor to be indicted since 1917. Top Republicans have been especially quick to defend him, though, since a jail video following Lehmberg's April 2013 arrest showed the district attorney badly slurring her words, shouting at staffers to call the sheriff, kicking the door of her cell, and sticking her tongue out. Her blood alcohol level was also three times the legal limit for driving
