Time Out says
Bag 50 percent off at this restaurant with Time Out's 'Table for Two: Gin Supper Club Gift Box'.
After a promising start, Mark Hix's chicken and steak restaurant has lost some allure. The room remains a winning combination of fun, glamour and heritage: a Damien Hirst cow and chicken in formaldehyde suspended over the main dining room makes a striking first impression set against the backdrop of a building that once generated the power for east London's trams.
The child's meal deal is generous, and the house wines are very drinkable. But the overly keen table-turning (we were moved on long before our slot was supposedly up) and variable food soon strip away any stardust. The short menu has steak (rib, sirloin or salad) or chicken as mains. Steak salad passed muster, though we're unconvinced by the topping of battered onion rings. Whole roast chicken (barn-reared these days, rather than the free-range birds initially used) arrives at the table up-ended on a spike, and surrounded by fries; at £25 it easily serves two and can stretch to three, helped by seasonal sides such as (delicious) wild garlic mushrooms.
Starters (just-so yorkshire pudding with whipped chicken livers) and desserts (super-sweet salted caramel fondue with marshmallows and doughnuts, £12.50 to share) had more wow factor. Staff are friendly yet stretched, leaving diners feeling more than a little processed.

I went to Tramshed as my birthday meal out and it was ok...but nothing made it particularly memorable. The highlight was the one of the 'snax' options (tempura sprouting broccoli with garlic sauce) which speaks for itself really!
We shared a snax, starter and pudding then had our own mains (steak and half a chicken). At the end I was absolutely stuffed and in a food coma for the rest of the night, so it's certainly decent portions. But nothing that makes it stand out above other 'high end' steak/chicken restaurants I've been to.
I've seen other people mention the table turnover and we witnessed this happen to the couple next to us. It got really busy around 8pm and the staff were rushed off their feet. There's clearly no problem getting people through the door (along with the art, it really is quite a cool space) but for me the food wasn't as good as I expected it to be.
I agree with the style over substance comments. The steak is good but not exceptional (which I would expect at £65 for two to share). I think I enjoyed the mac and cheese side more, it's the best Iv'e had in a restaurant, as well as the chocolate mousse topped with honeycomb, perfect to share, would be too rich for one person. Service was a bit confused and it was hard to get the servers' attentions, having the steak carved at our table was a nice touch.
I went to Tramshed for a bit of a celebrations dinner / date.
Our original budget was around £100 for 2 and the final bill was around £115. Pretty ideal! £30 went on a delicious wine that I would definitely recommend (called Chateau Pontarèche, so smooth!). We both had a starter, a big piece of meat and a desert and everything was tasty and delightful.
My favourite par of the meal was the Cock'n'balls (they're only croquettes, no panic!). Absolutely fantastic.
From the moment we stepped in the restaurant a member of the staff took care of us and directed us to a table within few seconds. All the waiters were adorable: really friendly and extremely helpful when we couldn't decide on our starters and deserts. We haven't felt rushed at all and the restaurant's interior design must be appreciated!
Not gonna lie. A little disappointed by this place. Style over substance is what springs to mind when thinking about this place. Don't get me wrong, it makes for a really pleasant dining experience; great decor, friendly and flirty staff, a buzz of activity...if you're with more than 4 other people. A date place this is not. The cavernous nature of he building makes for a slightly loud and electric experience so if you're looking for something more intimate I wouldn't recommend the place. But alas, for all they've done to make this an awe dropping and totally instagramable setting, it's a restaurant at the end of the day and the food just didn't cut it for me. Delicious and absolutely edible, but a very limited menu that hardly got me drooling. Of course, being served a roast chicken vertically had its charms, but once again proved that this place was more style and show, than the substance of what it ought to be; a restaurant.
I love coming here - great decor, really tasty food and amazing service! I visited again last week with 2 friends and ordered a few starters to share - every single one of them were extremely delicious - the beef meatballs, pork crackling and the chargrilled courgettes with feta. I'm still dreaming of those meatballs - wow (you must order this dish!). For main I had the whole chicken to share with chips and stuffing which was accompanied by a really nice gravy. Sadly I was too full to enjoy any of their desserts but i'll most def be back again soon.
6 of us dined and were all really really disappointed. The food was not good at all, croquets for starters tasted frozen and dry, definitely not fresh and the waiter could have warned us they were large as 4 of us ordered them and we definitely only needed 2 or 3, however the Yorkshire pudding very nice. My chicken for main was dry, my boyfriend went for the rib eye steak which was a really bad piece of meat and for £25 you would it to be really good. The bill was £60 a head, that is not a cheap meal and we left feeling totally robbed. We were only drinking the house wine too.
I thought Tramshed was rather overrated. The chicken was on the dry side (possibly because of the cutesy way they have of serving it standing on its head, allowing all of those yummy juices to just slide out of the cavity instead of settling in the meat), the fries were overly salted and the noise levels were high because of the cavernous space which creates a ping pong of a hundred conversations bouncing off the walls. With so few items on the menu, each one should be perfection. Bad Tramshed, bad, bad Tramshed. You're basically just a museum with one piece of art surrounded by a high-priced cafe.
Went in with a party of 3 at around 3pm on a Saturday and the place was pretty quiet, although it did take several minutes of waiting for the hostess to get off the phone and seat us, which was a bit annoying. The waiter was attentive and regularly checked up on us. The place itself is very trendy, with the great artworks and an inviting bar running along the entire length. Had Yorkshire pudding with whipped chicken livers to start, between 3 it was a good appetiser and it tasted phenomenal. For mains, we shared an entire chicken (£25), which was perhaps not as moist as the price commanded and a 400g steak (£40), which was really excellent. These both came with plenty of chips, and the lettuce heart salad side was surprsinginly flavourful. Two of us finished with the credit crunch ice cream which was really special, highly recommended. All in all, the wait at the start and the chicken were small let downs in an otherwise great experience. The total cost including service charge was £97.
Went to The Tramshed last night and was disappointed by the quality of the steak, fries and sides. I cannot understand the hype around this place as the sirloins we had lacked flavour, were served rare rather than the requested medium, and were surprisingly tough, very fatty and chewy. Portions were also on the small side, and we came away dissatisfied overall. Staff were OK, but not amazing either. The discretionary 12.5% service charge is a bit cheeky and staff certainly didn't make any real effort to earn it. The best feature is the actual venue itself: an amazing space with great atmosphere, just let down by the food....
Saturday lunchtime (late) - met by the scream of kids, who apparently eat free. Wood effect table tops and booth seating. Staff not overly attentive and did little to reassure us that we weren't being neglected. However, mixed starters went down well, but followed by tepid sirloin & rib (how long to relax the meat?) - "rare" cooking instruction ignored. Thankfully hot/salty fries, but served with average sides. Eye watering mark up on the Malbec. Plenty of viable aternatives offer better vfm.
Best restaurant in London by a mile. I was a vegetarian for 10 years and work in restaurants, but this was the most melt-in-your mouth beef ever. really impressed with the selection of wines. it's so much more than JUST chicken and steak. i even forget that this is all it does cos you never need anything more. Great atmospher, helpful, friendly, interesting staff. Thumbs up.
I love the beef and i love the chicken. i'll always come back. First time i've eaten beef in a few years. even made my mum try some. and she loved it. i keep on bringing friends and family from around the world who are visiting me and they love it. what's not to love?
Great steak, not cheap but great steak. Best steak in London with my limited experience. Also enjoyed the shared starter very much. Will definitely go back for special occasion.
Having a typical Jewish mother who likes to stuff her family on a Friday night, I have high expectations when it comes to roast chicken. Yet Tramshed delivered an awesome chook: moist meat, salty, crispy skin. And those chips - OMG! Service friendly, efficient. It's made my happy and ready to face the rest of the week at work.
We had such high expectations of Tramshed, but were left very disappointed. The food was ok - but definitely not value for money. The service was poor and the atmosphere was non-existant. If you're looking for a great steak in London, head to Hawksmoor instead.
Very poor value for money, I am not against paying for my food but at least try to get it right!. Two articles on the menu and have to say overall very disapointing. With an average service on top of it we asked for the "discretionary" service charge to be removed . I won't recommend.
I took the children for an early dinner last night after the cinema. The food, the service and the atmosphere were all excellent. All in all a delightful evening which we will definiely repeat.
great building, but the chicken £25 no joking it was dry and to be honest in par with nandos, never again. despite the above good attentive service and great place to sit and be looked at.
I went here one or two months ago with my partner, with the simple aim of having a really good steak. Now while there are other restaurants serving brilliant steak nearby (see Rivington Bar & Grill), we thought we would give Tramshed a go, particularly since it's menu is limited to a few starters, chicken and steak. There were exactly three starters on the menu, which need to be ordered together - why? This may be an attempt at being original, we however found this unpractical and annoying. The starters were incredibly small in size and horribly tasteless, the worst being a bland, almost freezing cold yorkshire pudding with cauliflower cream that was horrible in texture, unseasoned and unpleasant to eat. Moving on from that, we both ordered a 200gram steak with some sides. Again the sides were tiny considering they charge around £4 per portion, however this could have been forgiven if they got steaks right. I had ordered mine rare and my partner had ordered his medium rare - both came medium well, so completely overcooked, were chewy and full of sinew. Our waitress was appauling, hardly paid any attention to our table and was very frosty, but worse - during the entire meal we were unable to catch her attention in order to send the steaks back. She didn't ask us whether we enjoyed our meal when she cleared the plates so that I had to bring up that our steaks had been disgusting. She then brought a manager over, who was very very friendly and professional and offered us a free dessert. We chose the marshmallow and chocolate fondue, which was ok, but not brilliant - nice gesture, but didn't make up for the uninspiring starters and main courses or the bad service. We spent £80, which would have been good value if everything had tasted great, instead this was 80 pounds out of the window - i could have spent £15 at Tesco's and I'm sure me and my partner would have had a more delicious meal and a nicer evening. I hope this restaurant disappears and makes room for a restaurant that actually deserves the beautiful space....
Never normally write reviews, but felt I needed to after having a brilliant birthday at Tramshed on Tuesday. I was a bit apprehensive after reading the reviews but thought there must be something in the place for Timeout to rate it so highly. So booked a table for 12 of us and the food, service and drinks couldn't have been better. Our waitress spent time helping us decide the size of beef needed for the table and the steak and chicken were great. We were also drinking red wine throughout the meal and the final bill came to £40 per person, so not super cheap but not overly expensive either and definitely worth the money... I will be back again...
went last night, apprehensive after reading all the reviews just after making the booking and very nearly cancelled but thought i should see for myself.. have to agree by and large with most of the bad reviews; it's not terrible, but it's not great, the 2 stars are credit to the venue which does have a sense of occasion about it. the venue: is quite special, it is a nice space to be in, we arrived early & had a drink at the bar - it was a good chance to take in the scale & proportion of what is a lovely dining hall (had to wait rather long to be served despite the minimal number of people sitting at the huge bar). it really is draughty though which quickly became uncomfortable as the dining room emptied of bodies (we had a late booking) & did cause the food to cool very quickly making it rapidly unappetising...(cold chicken & chips & congealed gravy...mmmm) drinks: not cheap. i had a cocktail at the bar (tenner) which was good, my friend had a beer which at a fiver just tasted like very average fizzy lager. we had a bottle of house red with dinner which again was just alright for the £18 price. food: we had the chicken between 2 & it was certainly enough for 3, the chips were good but the chicken was just ok - a bit on the dry side & honestly i have cooked a better roast chicken myself & eaten better in both restaurants and peoples houses. sorbet for desert - a scoop of each of the 2 flavours (lemon and blackberry) which were nice, very smooth, just right after all the salt & savoury flavours of the main but really tiny scoops. service: not good at all. not exactly rude but certainly not warm or even especially helpful. food was slapped onto the table unceremoniously & the main came about 2 minutes after ordering which doesnt feel right in such a grand setting - it's not a diner & part of this restaurant's appeal is the experience which is slightly diminished if you're not given time to enjoy it. it was very difficult to get the attention of the staff, it felt as though they were making a point of not acknowledging customers so they wouldn't be interrupted from chatting amongst themselves which they were doing pretty much constantly in a very obviously disdainful manner. they did not seem especially competent either & there is absolutely no way the 'discretionary' service charge is deserved. so: i did really enjoy being in the dining room until i started to feel cold. it's impressive & it has nice buzz. i think the space is the main thing going for this place (maybe i should mention im an architect) so i am glad i went and didnt cancel, if im honest i might at a push go again, maybe once & that's why i have given 2 stars - it is worth experiencing but the food, drink & service while not awful are not of the standard i would expect in any restaurant in london that prices like this and purports to focus on quality. i would even go as far to say that this restaurant is definitely damaging to the Hix brand.
Was looking forward to this meal out for a while as had to book a good month in advance to get a decent time on a Friday night. The venue is good, as you walk in it smells like roast chicken which instantly ups the hunger levels. The cocktails were original. The first annoyance was that the whole room was cold. I realise that it is a big space to heat, but this did have the knock on effect of making the food cold, and for those prices I would expect more. The second annoyance was how rushed we were. About two minutes after ordering the starters were there. I know that there are only three of them so they must be waiting to go, but again, at those prices it should be made to feel a bit more special than it really is. Same with the main. Starters were whipped away the moment we finished and the main out a couple of minutes later. Overall, kind of glad we went, but won't go again. Can do a lot better for the same or less money.
Awful, the worst £50 i have ever spent at a restaurant. The staff were bone idle, we were a party of 12 and they asked us to sort out a list of what everyone wanted rather taking the order themselves even though the menu is limited and it would not have been difficult to do. Some of the group where served wine, i declined and said id like a different drink but the waitress walked of f and i had to call another over which was a bit of challenge, All through the evening they were unattentive and not worth the 12.5% added to the bill. Now for the food, the starters where pointless, who wants to eat a dry Yorkshire pudding with a tasteless FRIDGE COLD cauliflower purée!? Not me!!! the other to lacked seasoning and any kind of imagination. I tried the chicken which was overcooked and tasteless and i had the steak which was ok, but when thats you forte it should have been amazing. Im sure this restaurant will stay open and make money purely down to a novelty value, which saddens me. I can't imagine anyone returning or at least i hope not. Just terrible, go to Nando's for a better meal and service at a fraction of the price.
it is good
Oh Dear Mr Hix – you have got it wrong this time! The venue is quite trendy with the cow and chicken as the centrepiece but this can't save you from the very poor quality of the food itself and not to mention the cold draft running through the building. I already expected the limited choice and was fine with that as I was looking forward to impeccable taste and presentation, thinking each dish would be well thought out and cooked to perfection – I was very wrong. The starters were bland, did not go together, yorkshire pudding was slightly warm and overcooked. The steak was ok but nothing special considering the price. The chicken was presented in this slighly macabre way with its feet stuck up in the air – I can't say this enhanced my appetite. One of my party removed the offending legs for the squemish on the table and the waitress proceeded to cut into the chicken , I guess to make it easier for us to help ourselves but she basically just 'mullered' it. Some stuffing would have helped the poor dry chicken as the very salty gravy did not. Chips 'a la Mcdonalds' were exactly that and side dishes did not go well, especially the overcooked veggies. I took solace in my vodka cranberry that was not stirred and no stirrer provided – when requested I was told they don't have any, so I used my fork! Some of the staff were friendly but mostly inefficient, they were completely fazed by criticism and did not respond appropriately. I'm afraid the association with Damien Hirst could not save this most disappointing experience!
Awful. Do not waste your money. I took my boyfriend and his family out for what I thought would be a nice meal and was left feeling embarrassed for having gone there. If you are only going to do 2 things on your menu - Chicken and beef (only sirloin) there should be no excuse as to why it isn't at least average. The chicken tasted mediocre I could have easily prepared myself and the beef was one of the worst we had tried - absolutely no flavour. I feel Tramshed is just running on the Hix brand and Damien Hirst's work. Service is slow and once you have taken in your surroundings there really isn't much else to admire. Will not be going back.
Very disappointing, below average presentation of food,inflated prices for what you get,appalling service,we were kept waiting for the food 1.5 hours! Will definitely not be going back there .
Such a disappointing experience! There's nothing I enjoy more than a good steak and chips so we were really looking forward to this meal. The place offers two mains, steak or chicken, there's not much to get wrong yet they managed to do so. We opted not to get entrees as the choice of three looked somewhat underwhelming (yorkshire pudding and pâté seemed like the most promising choice but after seeing it served at the table next to us we decided against it) Our waitress recommended our group of 4 order 1 chicken to share and 1 500 gram steak. As we all wanted steak, her advise was to get 2 500gram steaks to share for the thicker, juicier cut of meat. We opted for this, 1 med and 1 med rare. Upon reflection, maybe they were trying to get rid of the old cuts of meat because there was nothing impressive about our steaks. Both steaks had a large inedible strip of fat on the edge at least an inch thick. I'm not afraid to eat a bit of fat on a steak but there was nothing tasty about this piece of rubber. Our friends ordered their steak medium and it came out more bloody than our medium rare. They returned this to the kitchen and when it came back the new steak was practically grey. Out of pure hunger they ate it anyway. Steak itself was flavourless and tasted like a cheap cut of meat. Our wine was topped up regularly but they forgot to bring out one of the sides. Waitress was disinterested but at least they offered a 10% discount on our bill. I would have been happy with this meal if it cost £10 in the local pub but nothing about this screamed quality food. Plenty of other places in London to get a decent steak and more inspiring starters. If you go there expecting to pay £10 for steak and £10 to look at the sculpture you won't be disappointed.
Unfortunately have to agree with the majority here, the main reason for going to this restaurant is for the funky decor and perhaps the lively ambience. The food, the service, all pretty amateur. Considering they had such a limited menu you would have expected for them to get their dishes to a phenominal standard ,but alas no, very disappointing to see the dishes both on presentation and taste being lower than average. A very run of the mill experience and will not be going back there in a hurry. Wine list was a shocker.
ordered spring chicken. 20 pounds . no meat; this place is an absolute joke. i so wanted to like it. the wine was good.
A disappointing experience. At our table we were told that if we got the larger steak for 4 it would have been better - juicier ... and it turned out more like a Sunday road (dry and over cooked) ...and it took over 1.5 hours to arrive! We have been told repeatedly that the food was coming - and it kept on not showing! How about some little snacks as an apology?! And after that long wait to be brought a poor main course, was just the ultimate disappointment. Given the fact that the restaurant focuses on just 2 main dishes, you would expect them to be perfect. Service was also mediocre, we complained about the steak about being too dry and nothing like we expected, and yet the staff - although nice enough - did nothing to recover the situation. A mediocre restaurant, that just happens to be in a nice venue. Will never ever go back and will definitely not recommend.
We went for a late dinner mid week, the food and service were great. Initially there was no one to greet us when we arrived, they were too busy table setting (in anticipation of our arrival, it turns out) so I was a little wary. We declined the first table offered (near the entrance) as it felt like we would be in a thoroughfare and requested to be moved to one of the large tables on the mezzanine and they were happy to accommodate us. The limited menu showcased the very good skills from the kitchen. The steak and chicken with fries ordered for four people were excellent, as were the duck salad, and chicken liver starters. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and couldn't do more for us, especially when we were trying to decide on wines. He brought two taster glasses of the wines we were trying to decide on to help in the decision making. We had a great night and will definitely return.
Terrible service!
we had a great evening, great steak and delicious apple pie. the staff was kind although a bit unexperienced. we would definitely go back again!
Tramshed is just so-so and feels like a glorified and expensive Nando's. The hype doesn't justify the food, service or the environment. First of all, we were seated about half an hour late even though we had made reservations. At the end, we had to chase our table to get it. Once seated, the service staff didn't take our orders for another 30 mins. Basically, the service staff looked confused the whole time in general. So you can guess we were hungry and annoyed at this point. Anyways, let's move on to other observations. The place is extremely loud to begin with. The high ceiling of this space only exaggerates the sound. The steak was great and well-priced, but the sides were too small for their cost. Overall, I don't think Tramshed does any favours for the Hix brand. It feels phony and tries to capture some of the Shoreditch glory. Frankly, I don't think I'll be back.
The steak is just alright. Personally they are not as good as those in Gaucho or Hawmooks. Nice cocktail thou.
Things I liked about the Tramshed was the interesting space, the show-piece art and the wine. What I was less keen on was the cold steak, stingey portion sizes of the unimaginative starters and the lack of friendly customer service. We had a particularly surly Scottish waitress who dropped a tray of drinks over our table, charged us for her mistake and failed to crack a smile from start to finish! Also pretty pricey in my opinion.....I wouldn't personally recommend it, but that said I hear some people have had a good experience, so might be worth a visit if you're curious.
We picked Tramshed for its alluring picture in a recent magazine review - the Damien Hirst fixture alone provided enough wow factor for us to give it an enthusiastic try. We were informed upon arrival we had to "vacate our table" by 9 pm. Notwithstanding this was not told to us when we made our reservation, we were agreeable enough as the evening was early, the place seemed to have a pleasant buzz, and we were enthusiastic about the food. However being shunted to the side of the room in one of the booth tables was unexpected - do not fall for the marketing/ advertisement shots of the great open space underneath and around the Hirst installation, if you call to make a reservation without specifying where you would like your table (as we did), you will most likely find yourself uncomfortably attempting to shout across to your dinner partners because of the awkward table arrangement. Upon informing the front of staff that this was not what we had in mind when we saw the nice pictures of the restaurant, we were told in a rather patronizing manner the restaurant was booked full (despite two tables in the main area looking very much unoccupied) and "of course we will let you have a table in the main area, though it will probably not happen". Ignoring all these tell-tale signs of shabby treatment from a restaurant that considers itself too-cool-for-school, we endeavoured to make the most of our evening. Just when we were starting to enjoy ourselves, we were presented with the bill by our server who (the only saving grace of the evening) at least apologetically informed us we had to vacate. So fine, we paid the bill with another server. After making payment, I asked if she would be so kind as to help us take a group picture with the Hirst installation as a background. Imagine my surprise (given the extra hype surrounding the installation as an advertisement point) when she said the restaurant discourages people from taking pictures with the installation, as it is "policy", she was forbidden from taking pictures, but "if we wanted, we could go ahead". At which point, I informed her this review would be going up online, setting out factually the reasons why we were definitely not impressed with Tramshed, and how lacklustre its performance is, given all the hype. Hype is not enough fuel for a new restaurant - food and service, and really how good a dining experience it provides, makes or breaks it. We most definitely did not have a good dining experience, for the reasons above. Foodwise, the steak was alright for the price, though not exceptional. The cocktails we had were passable. Which begs the question, would we go back? Well, not in A Thousand Years!
It's chicken and chips or steak and chips and neither were particularly good on our visit. The chicken, especially, was very dry and the steak was not cooked as requested. The fries were full of roast chicken flavours you'd expect from a bag of said crisps which you will either love or hate. With chicken I enjoyed but I don't want my fries with my steak to taste of chicken and rosemary... The service was very slow and uninformed and when we went to order desserts (having being given the menu and sitting with them for 15 minutes) we were told the kitchen had closed and we had to pay and leave! Had we been slow this could be forgiven but the service was shambolic at times to the point we were sat 30 mins after our reservation, our starters arrived before the wine (which were both ordered at the same time) and we were sitting with empty plates for up to 10 minutes after starters and mains. To then be told we couldn't even have a coffee because of license issues was just rubbing salt in what turned out to be a fairly expensive underwhelming experience. Would I go back? I've eaten the entire menu (minus desserts and coffee) so probably not. There really is far better in the area. My advice, try The Rivington or Princess of Shoredtich instead.
Its chicken and chips. Or steak and chips. And neither are very good. When we went the chicken was dry, the steak lacked flavour, the service was uninformed and a bit rude (we where given the bill at 11.30pm and told we had to leave NOW). The decor looks a bit like IKEA. I will never come back, because there is nothing there for me to go back for. I have had everything on the menu - and neither was very good.
This is the most boring food I've had at any restaurant for a long long time. there is absolutely nothing exceptional about it in anyway. the chicken was boring and fairly tasteless the chips were not really much better than McDonalds and the onion rings were completely average. To be honest you'd be disappointed with this food in a normal pub, let alone a Hix restaurant. I've been to other Hix places on several occasions and have been very impressed, so was really looking forward to trying the new place. It's such a pity it was so unbelievably underwhelming. The one and only excellent thing is the interior. It is undoubtedly a great setting.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Apple Inc. AAPL, -4.62% will likely have a new announcement in the spring, said Gene Munster, senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray in a report Friday. Apple has a full pipeline this year, including a cheaper phone and a television product that could lift investor's mood, added Munster. The analyst also believes that the tech giant will update the Apple TV ahead of a television launch. In less than four years, Apple had 11 major product launch events and the longest time between events was about seven months, according to Piper Jaffray research. A spring event for the firm could be used to announce some incremental updates to Apple's existing products, likely to the iPad line, rather than new products. Munster expects Apple to launch a television in 2013. Piper Jaffray has a buy rating and a $767 a share price target. Apple shares have been hit in the past six months, currently trading at $469 a share in pre-market.

Some of it's good. Some of it is oh so very bad. And some of it is just plain weird. Here, we give you our 12 most amazing tech moments of 2012. (Click on the images above.) Yes, you'll get all kinds. The good. The bad. And the weird. Lots o' weird. Above: John McAfee's Viral Implosion Hands down, this is the craziest story of the year. A man is found dead, floating in a pool in Belize, and when authorities try to question his neighbor, Silicon Valley legend John McAfee, he hides overnight beneath a cardboard box and then goes on the run, phoning in dispatches from safe houses and, finally, surfacing in Guatemala where he was the star of a full-fledged international media circus. McAfee says he's innocent, but he's got a serious credibility problem. He says a lot of things, and not all of them add up. McAfee — the guy who basically invented the computer antivirus industry — is a self-admitted master of social engineering, the art of deceiving others to achieve his own ends. On discussion forums, he's claimed to be an expert on the amphetamine-like drink known as bath salts, and then later said it was all a joke. In Guatemala, he faked a heart attack to delay his extradition. When last we heard, McAfee had been extradited to Miami and was heading his way west — staying in cheap motels, and switching into different disguises. Or at least that's what he says. John McAfee Photo: Brian FinkeGoogle Computer Equipment Comes From Outer Space Google is really, really secretive about the stuff that goes on inside its data centers. How secretive? Well, at one point they were turning off the lights at facilities they shared with other companies so nobody could peek in and figure out what they were up to. They consider their custom server designs trade secrets and rarely talk about them. Which made it all the more remarkable when a top-secret switch built by Google to route traffic between its server racks popped up in somebody's Iowa distribution center, apparently sent there by accident. It was called the Pluto switch, but it didn't look like anything you could buy from Juniper or Cisco. Confused networking admins posted photos of the mystery switch in a networking discussion forum called, well, networking-forum.com. There, members gradually figured out that it was one of Google's top-secret devices. The guys who found it sent the switch back to Google, which was so grateful, it rewarded them with a couple of free T-shirts. Google's Pluto Switch.

It's not enough that the company has been crushed by marketing missteps, service complaints, and fierce competition in the PC market. They have to alienate half of their potential customers by hiring misogynistic "inspirational speaker" Mads Christensen to moderate a Danish customer briefing. Presumably, this was just an example of a tone-deaf foreign office going rogue with some off-color entertainment, but hiring a guy who tells attendees they should go home and say "shut up bitch" to their wives is so sad, it's nuts. Mads Christensen Photo: Rasmus Johnsen/FlickrMicrosoft Raps Itself Into an Apology You can add this to the "foreign office going rogue" file, but you have to listen to it to appreciate its epic weirdness. Some Microsoft contractor was casting about for a rhyme for a video to be shown at the company's Norwegian developer conference. The winning couplet? "I'm a computer gen-i-us / The words micro and soft don't apply to my penis" Note to future tech event planners: Microsoft developer conferences are sad nerdy affairs, so you really don't need to try that hard. We all know this and we expect nothing better. Don't try to make them edgy and fun. And for god's sake, don't tell us all about your penis. We really don't care. Microsoft told us it was sorry, anyway.

That shouldn't have been a problem from the city's data centers — they all have backup diesel generators at the ready — but to customers at the 75 Broad Street co-location facility, Sandy delivered a one-two punch. It knocked out power, and it flooded the basement. That's where the pumps the building uses to move diesel up to its 17th floor where Peer 1 Hosting's data center is located. Peer 1 had enough diesel upstairs to keep things running for a while, but when it started warning customers that the power was about to go out, a few of them decided to take matters into their own hands. Staffers from Peer 1 Hosting, Squarespace, and Fog Creek Software banded together to haul diesel up the 17 flights of stairs to their data center. Using 5-gallon plastic buckets, they managed to haul the 50 gallons of diesel fuel the data center needed each hour to remain online. And they did this for a few days, until power was restored to lower Manhattan. Diesel barrels in front of 75 Broad Street Photo: SquarespaceLeap-Second Bug Crashes the Internet We all know that time can get away from us every now and then, but when this kind of thing happens inside the Linux kernel, programs crash. That's what happened in late June, when international timekeepers added an extra second to Coordinated Universal Time, something they do every now and then as a kind of existential bookkeeping exercise. The problem was that some programs running on Linux computers just couldn't compute that extra second, and a lot of them crashed. The leap-second crash took out Reddit and Gawker Media and a part of Mozilla too, but it didn't take out everyone. In fact, a patch for the problem had been written months earlier, but unaware of their impending doom, not everyone had updated.

Well, now Google has copied another page from the Apple playbook: the one where you accidentally leave a prototype of your next-generation smartphone in a bar. Jamin Barton, a bartender known as "Sudsy" at the 500 Club in San Francisco, found a prototype of Google's Nexus 4, just weeks before its launch. After a bit of back and forth with Google's security team, he eventually returned the phone — but not before snapping a few photographs. Sound familiar? Two years ago an Apple engineer named Gray Powell forgot his iPhone prototype at a Redwood City, California, restaurant called the Gourmet Haus Stadt. 500 Club bartender Jamin Barton Photo: Ariel Zambelich/WiredRomney's Get-Out-the-Vote System Gets Out the Bugs. Bad PINs. Blank, seemingly broken webpages. Bum information: Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Project Orca was supposed to be a high-tech superweapon — a computer system that would organize the complex flow of information on election night to help Republicans get out the vote and keep on top of election problems. But Orca, it turned out, was a bit of a fail whale. And when it didn't work as planned, it ended up being a glitchy coda on Romney's ill-fated 2012 campaign. A Romney Campaigner. Photo: Flickr/WEBN-TVPatent Excess Gets a Rockstar You could think of 2012 as the year that the lawyers made manifest their plans to take over the technology industry. Patent lawsuits were everywhere. Apple and Google duked it out, as did Microsoft and Google. And Oracle and Google too. But for the first time, companies that don't actually make anything — patent trolls — filed more lawsuits than firms that actually sell products. Santa Clara University professor Colleen Chien says that more than 60 percent of this year's patent lawsuits were filed by trolls. Five years ago, the number was 23 percent. The company that most perfectly captured this movement is Rockstar, a company made up of former Nortel engineers and lawyers who once developed networking gear. Now they spend their days ripping apart other people's products, looking for signs of infringement. To some, it may look like a completely unproductive waste of engineering talent, but maybe it's a taste of things to come. Rockstar's Ottawa reverse-engineering lab. Photo: RockstarLarry Ellison Torpedoed HP From a Slip-and-Fall Jury Box When Oracle ditched plans to support HP's Itanium servers, it was an abrupt decision. We knew that, because months before HP and Oracle had been assuring customers that Oracle fully planned to keep porting its software to Itanium, a server chip that had had been an overhyped dud in the marketplace. What we didn't know was that when Oracle CEO Larry Ellison finally made the call that would terminate — at least for a time — support for the most popular software on HP's servers, he did it while on a break from jury duty. He was serving as foreman in a slip-and-fall lawsuit. That came out in court records, after HP sued Oracle, saying that an earlier agreement forced Oracle to keep delivering new versions of its software for the Itanium platform. "I … had nothing to do for 15 minutes, so I drafted a press release," Ellison said in a February 2012 deposition. Now, nearly two years after Ellison drafted his press release, HP has won an initial ruling in the dispute, and so Oracle must again port its software updates to Itanium. But the damage from that jury-box e-mail is mostly done. Confused customers have moved on, and to most of the corporate world, Itanium has long been a goner. Larry Ellison patiently awaits jury selection in March 2011. Photo: Photo: Davis W. FrankSenate Tries to Kill Open Source in Government Does the U.S. Government really get open source software? Well, if you were to ask U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park, he'd probably say "yes." But check in with the Senate's Armed Services committee and you might get a completely different answer. They're the folks who, earlier this year, tried to pull the plug on the National Security Agency's Accumulo database, an open source project used by the government's surveillance agency. The committee questioned whether Accumulo violated a government policy that prohibited its agencies from building their own software when they could buy something ready-made. If the Senate committee was right, that could have had a major chilling effect on any government-backed open source projects. Luckily, though, the committee seems to have been forced into a comedown by the house. Just last week, they dumped the anti-Accumulo language from their 2013 appropriations bill. Open source Apocalypse averted.

At first, users were mad because the update foisted a buggy Apple Maps on them. Apple maps wasn't just buggy and wrong; it was dubbed potentially life-threatening by Australian police. We called it the biggest tech fail of 2012, and Apple booted two of its top iOS execs because of it. But that wasn't the weird part. No, the weird part was the bug that Apple silently patched in its iOS 6.0.1 update without telling anybody about it. That bug messed up the way podcast users downloaded media onto their iPhones, dramatically bumping up the bandwidth they consumed. This meant data plan overages for consumers, and big internet bills for podcasts like This American Life, which apparently saw a massive spike in its internet usage.

Education Reform
On March 10, at a meeting of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, President Obama delivered the first major education speech of his presidency. "America will not remain true to its highest ideals, and America's place as a global economic leader will be put at risk, unless we not only bring down the crushing cost of health care and transform the way we use energy, but also if we do not do a far better job than we've been doing of educating our sons and daughtersunless we give them the knowledge and skills they need in this new and changing world," he said. "The source of America's prosperity has never been merely how ably we accumulate wealth but how well we educate our people.... The relative decline of American education is untenable for our economy, it's unsustainable for our democracy, it's unacceptable for our children, and we can't afford to let it continue."
The President proposed five pillars of education reform:
- "Investing in early childhood initiatives" like Early Head Start and Head Start;
- "Encouraging better standards and assessments" by using testing itineraries that better fit students and the world they live in;
- "Recruiting, preparing, and rewarding outstanding teachers" with incentives for a new generation of teachers and for new levels of excellence among all teachers;
- "Promoting innovation and excellence in America's schools" by modernizing the school calendar and the structure of the school day and supporting effective charter schools;
- "Providing every American with a quality higher educationwhether it's college or technical training."
"So, here's the bottom line," the President concluded. "Yes, we need more money. Yes, we need more reform. Yes, we need to hold ourselves more accountable for every dollar. But... no government policy will make any difference unless we also hold ourselves more accountable as parents. Because government, no matter how wise or efficient, cannot turn off the TV or put away the video games. Teachers, no matter how dedicated or effective, cannot make sure your child leaves for school on time and does their homework when they get back at night. These are things only a parent can do. These are things that our parents must do." (Note: A fact sheet expanding on the five pillars is available online.)
ARRA Outreach (Paper)
Last weekend, Secretary Duncan announced that $44 billion in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) will be available to states in the next 30-45 days. Indeed, the Department will release half the Title I, Part A aid ($5 billion) and half the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Parts B and C aid ($6.1 billion) without new applications. Also, by the end of March, governors will be able to apply for 67% ($32.6 billion) of the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, with funding released within two weeks after acceptable applications are received. In addition, at least $433 million will be available under various formula-based programs, such as vocational rehabilitation ($270 million), independent living ($53 million), education for homeless children and youth ($70 million), and Impact Aid school construction ($40 million). A second round of Title I, IDEA, and State Fiscal Stabilization Fund aid, as well as funding for other ARRA programs, will be distributed between July 1 and September 30.
Seeking information on a particular ARRA program? The Department has released initial guidance for:
Other ARRA program guidance and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are under development.
Keep in mind, $5 billion of the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund has been reserved for the Secretary. This includes a $4.35 billion "Race to the Top" fund to help drive significant gains in student achievement by supporting states making substantial progress on four key reform goals: developing rigorous college- and career-ready standards and high-quality assessments that are valid and reliable for all students; establishing preschool to college and career data systems that track progress and foster continuous improvement; making improvements in teacher effectiveness and in the equitable distribution of qualified teachers for all students; and providing intensive support and positive interventions for the lowest-performing schools. This also includes a $650 million "Invest in What Works and Innovation" fund to help districts and non-profit organizations with a strong track record of results. Applications for these competitive grants will be posted expeditiously. The Race to the Top grants will be made in two rounds: fall 2009 and spring 2010.

ARRA Outreach (Media)
Featuring a taped interview with Secretary Duncan, the next "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast (March 17, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) will highlight the ARRA, its potential to save and create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and its promise for generating urgently needed reform in schools across the country. Today, the nation is facing a severe economic crisis: the economy is losing half a million jobs each month, consumer credit is frozen, purchasing power is in decline, and, as a direct result, tax revenues for state and local governments are falling at an alarming rate. With states required to balance budgets and with education accounting for the largest component of state government expenditures, budget deficits threaten massive cuts in education funding to districts. In fact, a study commissioned by the University of Washington finds that the downturn could result in states cutting over 15% of their education spendingan $80 billion drop that could eliminate up to 600,000 jobs in the field. With the passage of the ARRA, President Obama and Congress have taken steps to protect the future of our children and lay the foundation for a generation of reform. This one-time, two-year investment represents the single largest boost in education funding in U.S. historycomparable to the G.I. Bill that sent so many young World War II veterans on to college. (You can watch archived webcasts online.)
Community Colleges
On March 6, Secretary Duncan and Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, held a panel discussion at Miami Dade College to exchange ideas on improving the nation's higher education system and the importance of community colleges in job creation. They also talked about how ARRA funds will help make college more affordable for families. "As a community college professor [at Northern Virginia Community College], I can see first-hand the significant and critical role that community colleges play in educating students and preparing them for a fiercely competitive workforce," Dr. Biden emphasized. "Community colleges will no doubt play an increasingly important role in restoring the economy over the coming years by training Americans for jobs of the future in affordable and accessible ways." Of the $30.8 billion in the ARRA for higher education, $17 billion will be used to close the shortfall within the Pell Grant program and boost grant amounts by $500 to $5,350 in the first year. Such an increase in aid will benefit low-income students who are disproportionately represented at community colleges. Also, changes in the American Opportunity Tax Credit will provide relief to more families struggling to pay for college. This education tax credit will make the cost of tuition and fees at community college virtually free for many studentscovering up to $2,500 of college expenses.
Also: Yesterday (March 11), the Secretary testified before the House Budget Committee on the President's Fiscal Year 2010 budget request, including the President's proposals to transform higher education.
New Research
Check out these new resources from the Department's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES):
- "Revenues and Expenditures for Public Elementary and Secondary Education: School Year 2006-07." Some findings? Approximately $555.3 billion was collected in revenues for public K-12 education in the 50 states and the District of Columbia in Fiscal Year 2007. The federal government's contribution was $47 billion, or 8.5% of all revenues. Current expenditures totaled $476.8 billion, and current expenditures per student was $9,683.
- "Enrollment in Postsecondary Institutions, Fall 2007; Graduation Rates, 2001 and 2004 Cohorts; and Financial Statistics, Fiscal Year 2007." Some findings? In fall 2007, institutions in the U.S. enrolled a total of 18.7 million undergraduate and graduate students62% in four-year colleges, 36% in two-year colleges, and 2% in less-than-two-year colleges. Approximately 57% of full-time, first-time bachelor's or equivalent degree-seekers attending four-year colleges completed their degree at the college where they began their studies within six years. During the 2006-07 academic year, 73% of the 2.8 million full-time, first-time degree-seekers attending institutions located in the U.S. received financial aid.
- "Mini Digest of Education Statistics: 2008." This is a pocket-sized compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from kindergarten through graduate school. The statistical notes are excerpts from the "Digest of Education of Statistics: 2008."
Also: The latest Achiever newsletter spotlights a Norfolk, Virginia, elementary schoolwhose white and African-American student enrollments are nearly equalthat has eliminated the academic achievement gap, with 99% of black students and 94% of white students reading at or above grade level.
Youth Web Site
A new federal web site provides interactive tools and other resources to help community organizations and partnerships in their efforts to support youth. While on the site, developed through the coordination of 12 federal agencies, a user can learn about the critical elements of effective youth partnerships, generate maps of local and federal youth programs, and search a database of evidence-based programs to deal with risk and protective factors in youth. This spring, the site will add on tools for strategic planning.

It seems the Wall Street Journal editorial board has yet to identify a conflict in which the United States should not intervene. Today, they again call for U.S. military intervention in Syria and criticize President Obama for his inaction. Their main recommendation? Easy: set up a no-fly zone:
The U.S. could boost its diplomatic leverage with the rebels and their regional allies by enforcing no-fly zones over portions of Syria. That would help prevent the regime from using its attack jets and helicopter gunships against civilian targets while allowing insurgents to consolidate and extend their territorial gains. It also means we could use limited force in a way that strengthens the hand of rebels we support at the expense of those we don't.
The key point here is that the Journal leaves open the possibility of using "limited force" to help the rebels. Indeed, this is what no-fly zones often become: precursors to additional involvement at a later date (think Iraq and Libya). I argued as much last week:
If the no-fly zone fails to swiftly halt the violence, some will claim that preserving U.S. credibility requires an even deeper commitment. Or [no-fly zones] can just become a slippery slope in their own right. The ink was barely dry on the UN Security Council resolution authorizing a no-fly zone over Libya before the mission morphed into a no-drive zone on the ground, and then a major military operation to overthrow Qaddafi's government.
As a general rule, we shouldn't send our military on feel-good missions that have little chance of success. And that is what no-fly zones are. They also have a clear political purpose, in this case to ensure that the opposition prevails over the Assad regime and its supporters. There is no such thing as an impartial intervention.
In Libya, there wasn't such an explicit call for a no-fly zone as a means to toppling Muammar Gaddafi. The UN resolution authorizing the no-fly zone did not include "regime change" as a goal, but that's what it became. In Syria, a no-fly zone would be used explicitly for the purpose of toppling Bashar al-Assad's regime. But if regime change is the goal, a no-fly zone will not do much to lead us there. They are security-theater, as Ben Friedman has pointed out: "No-fly zones commit us to winning wars but demonstrate our limited will to win them. That is why they are bad public policy."

text: Minutes of the special meeting of Tuesday, May 21, 2002. (As approved corrected June 20, 2002) The San Francisco Public Library Commission held a special meeting called by the Commission President on Tuesday, May 21, 2002 in the Koret Auditorium, Main Library. President Higueras called the meeting to order at 4:08 PM. The following members were noted present: Commissioners Bautista, Chin, Higueras, and Steiman. Commissioners Coulter, Streets, and Swig were reported excused attendance. AGENDA ITEM #1 LIBRARY SUPPORT SERVICES CENTER (Explanatory documents: Support Services Building memo, Department of Public Works letter) City Librarian Susan Hildreth presented the Commissioners with a detailed retrospective of the search to locate a site for the Systemwide Support Services Center. Ms. Hildreth recalled the POE (Post Occupancy Evaluation) of the Main Library's recommendation that such a facility be created and detailed the reasons that Brooks Hall had proven to be not an acceptable choice. The City Librarian pointed out that the current state of the commercial real estate market had resulted in a greatly increased availability of appropriate office buildings becoming available at prices within the amount available for this purpose. Ms. Hildreth reported that a purchase was now possible as a previous arrangement between the property owner and the Department of Human Services had fallen through due to state budget reductions. The City Librarian noted that the Board of Supervisors Finance Committee had already calendared acquisition of this building by the city for discussion and that Supervisor Peskin had been informed of the Library's interest in acquiring the building. Deputy City Librarian Paul Underwood informed the Commissioners that he considered 945 Bryant Street to be a prime candidate in an excellent location with 41,000 sq. ft. of immediately usable space with only minor improvements needed. He further noted that it would be wise for the Library to purchase as much space as possible, reporting that the immediate need was for a 25,000-sq. ft. space. The Deputy City Librarian proved the Commissioners with a detailed review of the many properties that had been investigated for this use on behalf of the Library. Mr. Underwood then provided an extensive overview of 945 Bryant Street highlighting the many qualities that made it an almost ideal choice including: that it was fully wired; the ease of loading with no need for materials to be moved by elevator; a great amount of space for future expansion on two additional floors; 29 off street parking spaces; the cost was within range of the budget; that it was fully furnished and the office furniture was available at a low price; that it was well served by 4 major transit lines; that it is relatively close to the Main Library; and that there were 14 restaurants in its immediate neighborhood. The Deputy City Librarian then introduced Charlie Dunn of the Department of Real Estate, who provided additional details concerning useful aspects of this property for the Library. Mr. Dunn noted that the Library would own the building outright. In response to questions by President Higueras, Ms. Hildreth provided additional information concerning the situation with Brooks Hall, noting that the Library had essentially squatter's rights, that a formal lease arrangement was unlikely, and that there was unlikely to be any changes in the status of Brooks Hall in the near future. In response to additional questions by President Higueras, Mr. Underwood asked Vivian Pisano, Library Chief of technical Services to inform the Commissioners concerning the extensive staff involvement in and input into the consideration of potential properties for a Support Services Center. Ms. Pisano reported that a variety of Technical Services staff members had reviewed and in some cases visited potential locations. In addition, Ms. Pisano reported that there had been a general meeting of Technical Services staff to discuss options and that photos of potential locations had been posted on StaffN et providing opportunities for those with concerns to email or phone them in. Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #1 LIBRARY SUPPORT SERVICES CENTER: An anonymous member of the public commented that this was a stealth bomber, that explanatory documents were unclear, and questioned the description and potential costs of the item related to this property pending before the Board of Supervisors Finance Committee. This individual suggested that there was serious traffic gridlock in that area. Mr. Ed Regan commented that he had visited the building and found it impressive and large. Mr. Regan remarked that the building would serve the purposes well. Mr. Peter Warfield expressed concern at the haste with which this matter was being addressed, noting that there had been multiple meetings when branch library locations were being considered and that the documentation concerning this matter had only been available at the last minute. Mr. Warfield thought the building too large, not in a good location, with poor transit access, and expressed concern that Technical Services would be moved away from the Main Library. Commission comment on AGENDA ITEM #1 LIBRARY SUPPORT SERVICES CENTER: Vice President Steiman observed that the proposed building was only four and half blocks away from the Main Library, which did not seem too far. The City Librarian explained the circumstances of the Library being substituted for the Department of Human Services on the item related to the city's acquisition of 945 Bryant Street pending before the Board of Supervisors Finance Committee. Ms. Hildreth noted that the City Attorney had advised Supervisor Peskin that it was appropriate and that the Board's Budget Analyst did not intend to make a report on this matter. She further noted that the Supervisors would only take action on this matter after the terms of a purchase had been negotiated. Charlie Dunn of the Department of Real Estate reported that the Board of Supervisors calendar would be fully occupied with city budget matters in the coming months and that this agenda item was acting as a placeholder to keep the city's acquisition process on course. Mr. Dunn noted that this was a quality building that was sure to sell. President Higueras pointed out that there was a lengthy timeline to purchase property, but that because the Library had Bond Program funds available, the process could be moved along more quickly. Mr. Dunn reported that the final asking amount was under ongoing discussion and that he would report it back to the Commission. MOTION: by Commissioner Bautista, seconded by Commissioner Steiman to request the Department of Real Estate to enter into negotiations for the acquisition of 945 Bryant Street as the location for the Library Systemwide Support Services Center. ACTION: AYE 4-0 (Bautista, Chin, Higueras, and Steiman) AGENDA ITEM #2 ADJOURNMENT Public comment on Agenda item #2 ADJOURNMENT: An anonymous member of the public noted the passing of former Library Commissioner Norman Wechsler suggesting that the Commission might wish to adjourn in his memory. This person noted that former Commissioner Wechsler had been President and CEO of I. Magnin Corp. and that his obituary had been reported in the New York Times. Commission comment on Agenda item #2 ADJOURNMENT: Motion: by Commissioner Steiman, seconded by Commissioner Chin that the meeting be adjourned In Memoriam of former Library Commissioner Norman Wechsler. Action: AYE 4-0 (Bautista, Chin, Higueras, and Steiman) The meeting was adjourned at 4:54PM.

The two big Swiss banks, Credit Suisse and UBS, announced today that they will sell their holding of 50.5% of the share capital of Swiss Steel to SBGE Stahl Holding AG, which is to be a newly created company owned by Schmolz + Bickenbach AG in Wil, Canton of St. Gallen, and Gebuka AG in Neuheim, Canton of Zug.
SBGE Stahl Holding will acquire 4,226,706 registered shares from Credit Suisse and 2,731,536 registered shares from UBS, each with a nominal value of CHF 10.00. The sale price per share is CHF 1.55. Subject to necessary official approval, the transac-tion will be completed in July 2003.
The equity participation of the two big banks dates back to the restructuring and merger of Swiss steel producers in 1996. The resulting company, Swiss Steel, then focused on the manufacture, processing and marketing of steel.
Schmolz + Bickenbach AG in Wil holds 80% of the capital of SBGE Stahl Holding; the remaining 20% is being acquired by industry expert Dr Gerold Büttiker via his holding company Gebuka.
Schmolz + Bickenbach in Wil in turn belongs to Schmolz + Bickenbach-Gruppe, headquartered in Düsseldorf. The group's strategic focus is on the steel industry and it is active in a number of Eastern and Western European countries, where it has its own production and distribution companies. Schmolz + Bickenbach-Gruppe is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of bright steel.

Up to two feet of snow is expected in some areas as a UK recovering from flood misery prepares itself for an Arctic blast.
Temperatures are set to plummet this weekend to as low as -10C as showers turn to snow in the north of the country by Friday.
However, heavy rain across the country is forecast before the temperature drop leads to heavy snow in the Highlands with flurries in the south next week.
Frost and bitter winds are expected across the whole country with sub-zero overnight temperatures meaning potential danger from already wet roads freezing as well as snow falling on flooded ground.
However, rain will still be a problem with the Met Office issuing severe weather warnings for Scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow and Thursday with more than three inches expected to fall.
Met Office spokesperson Grahame Madge said: "There are further warnings in place for Thursday with heavy rain, especially in the north bringing a further risk of flooding.
"It is going to feel quite cold with strong winds associated with the new front which moves slowly across the country.
"The northeast faces heavy and persistent rain with widespread showers expected."
The prediction of wintry conditions comes as official figures confirm that last month was the wettest and mildest December on record, as well as the wettest month in history.
Average temperatures of 7.9C beat 1934's high of 6.9C, while 50 inches (1,289mm) of rain secured the unwanted honour of wettest December on record.

Halloween is approaching and spookiness is in the air, so we thought we'd bring you some of the country's most notorious haunted hotels to consider for your next trip. Why settle for a plain old hotel stay when you could add apparitions, strange noises in the night, locking and unlocking doors, and more to the experience?
Check out these haunted spots from the Victorian seaport town of Port Townsend, WA to the land of voodoo and witchcraft itself, New Orleans, LA, and find the spot that's right for your next journey!

Most people in the US do their shopping in malls or outlet centres. This is very convenient as these huge covered shopping centres are home to every major brand and label you could wish for. However, they often lack personality and originality. Fortunately, Los Angeles also boasts many fun streets packed with small boutiques, hip vintage shops and beautiful designer stores. Stylish shopaholics will surely leave with full shopping bags.
In Paris or Milan it often seems inappropriate to enter a chic shop without a fat wallet. In LA things are quite different. Sales people know that you can never tell who may just spend thousands of dollars, so everyone is made to feel welcome. It is fun to enter some of these fancy high-end shops, if only to have a look around. Because that is what shopping in these small streets is all about: browsing the wares.

Swimming Pool Blog

Eco-Friendly Swimming pool decks
As a follow up to our popular article two years ago on the same topic, let's revisit the question of what makes an eco-friendly pool deck.
For swimming pool decks, the available materials are endless, but most will fall into two main categories. Concrete or Wood. Within each main category we have several types of materials that are used for pool decks.
The goal of this article is to discuss these materials to help you evaluate their relative impact on the environment.
- Broom finished, or Stamped Concrete
- Pavers, Block or Brick
- Natural stones like flagstone
- Pressure Treated Softwoods
- Tropical Hardwoods
- Composite lumber
Concrete Pool Deck Types
You might be surprised to see concrete pool decks mentioned in an article about eco-friendly pool decks. Cement, and the materials used to make concrete, bricks and pavers are natural materials. Production of cement, the primary ingredient in concrete and block products consumes a lot of energy (6 million BTU's per ton). Cement production also generates carbon and sulfur dioxides.
Broom finished Concrete
Production: Concrete Mixing plants consume far less energy to mix the cement for bags or trucks.The energy needed to transport it to the job site is equivalent to other pool deck types.
Permeability: This type of deck scores the worst on permeability, or the ability of rain and nutrients to reach the soil. Pool decks can be constructed to allow for planter areas, and for management of run-off water to avoid erosion and increase absorption.
Performance: A well laid concrete pool deck can last many years, with good soil and good luck. The ability to recycle or repurpose concrete is good in most areas of the U.S.. In some areas, dumping of concrete is a problem. Concrete decks are generally much less slippery than some options below.
Paver Pool Decks
Production: Concrete pavers are made primarily of a very dry mix of cement, sand and aggregate, formed in molds to their finished shape. They consume an equal amount of energy, but use less water than delivered concrete. Bricks however, have clay as their main component, and use very little cement.
Permeability: Much higher than concrete decks, in that pavers allow water to seep between them, through the sand bed and gravel beds, and back into the earth. Many pavers recommend sealing, which if done poorly, can put bad chemicals into good soil.
Performance: Also higher than concrete decks, pavers are up to 4x stronger than delivered concrete, and individual pavers can be replaced. Recycling is possible at any landfill with concrete processing. Pavers are usually quite non-skid.
Natural Stone
Production: Flagstone or Bluestone decks are milled from mining operations which use far less energy than concrete plants. If set onto a concrete base and mortared in between, the net gain of using stone is negated.
Permeability: If set on a base and mortared, the permability is poor. Installing stones on a bed of stone dust, with wide open joints will improve this, but is a less desirable finished surface.
Performance: Natural stones are the strongest in the category, and can last forever. Changing tastes however, won't last that long. Replaced natural deck stones can be recycled, or given a new purpose. Some stone finishes can be slippery, particularly if polished.
Wood Pool Deck Types
Wood is a natural material, and some manufacturers of Tropical hardwoods are fond of calling their product Eco-Wood, or something similar. If there truly is sustainable and responsible harvesting and replanting of the donor trees, and not simply clear cutting of old growth tropical rain forests, the claim may have some validity.
Pressure treated woods are usually soft woods like pine or fir that are treated with chemicals to resist rot, decay and make it taste awful to wood consuming insects. Arsenic is no longer used as the preservative, a copper quat compound is usually used, which gives this wood its green tint. The chemicals can be harmful if released during installation. A mask should be worn and sawdust should be swept up and disposed of properly.
Composite wood is a blend of wood, sometimes reclaimed waste wood - and plastic materials, sometimes post-consumer. This material can mimic wood grain, and outlast real wood. Because it's a blend however, it cannot usually be recycled.
Permability is high on all of these types of deck materials, assuming that they are built off of the ground, with nail width spaces between.
Wood can sometimes be slippery when wet or dirty, and some composite lumber is known to be even more slippery when wet.
Pressure Treated Softwoods
Production: Sustainably produced fir or pine wood is treated with preservatives and then put through high pressure chambers to push the chemicals deep into the wood. From the sustainably managed forest, to the mill and then to pressure treatment, energy use is considerable, although much lower than concrete products.
Performance: Pressure treated wood certainly outlasts un-pressure treated wood, but it does have a finite lifespan. Sealers can extend the useful life, but could be harmful to the environment and the organic sealers can require several treatments per year.
Tropical Hardwoods
Production: Woods like Ipe, Curupay and Grapia harvested from South America and other tropical areas, and sent by ship or truck to areas that can afford it. Be wary of claims of sustainability from manufacturers. In some cases without a responsible plan for reforestation, displacement of wildlife, or the effects of erosion. A better option may be North American grown western cedar or redwood.
Performance: These tropical hardwoods resist most insects and are among the hardest, most durable wood on the planet. To keep them looking nice however, manufacturers recommend sealing, which can be harmful (unless done very cautiously and with organic stains) to the environment immediately beneath your deck, and in the watershed beyond.
Composite Wood
Production: Look for the highest percentage of post-consumer content being used, for the largest eco-gain. Some manufacturers of composite wood offset their energy and resource needs by using reclaimed wood or sawdust and recycled plastics in their production.
Performance: Composite wood can outlast regular wood, but is subject to fading, stains, mildew or warping. Being a blend of wood and plastics, it's difficult to recycle or repurpose after replacement.
Unscientific Chart of Swimming Pool Deck Types and some Desirable Pool Deck Attributes
|Ease of Recycling
|Low Maintenance Req'd
|Low Chemicals Req'd
|Low Production Resources Req'd
All swimming pool decks have some impact on the environment. This somewhat arbitrary chart I created above seems to indicated that pavers and stones would be the best choice, but it depends on a few factors. Decide for yourself what would be the best swimming pool deck for your pool!
