  • 110 YEARS of AMERICAN STYLE: BUICK CELEBRATES ITS ANNIVERSARY with a DISPLAY at the AACA MUSEUM by Richard P
    110 YEARS OF AMERICAN STYLE: BUICK CELEBRATES ITS ANNIVERSARY WITH A DISPLAY AT THE AACA MUSEUM By Richard P. Sills Buick, one of the oldest surviving brands of American automobiles, celebrated its 110th anniversary on May 19, 2013. It is fitting that this milestone occasion is celebrated by a special display, "Beautiful Buicks: 110 Years of American Style", at the AACA Museum in Hershey, PA. The display coincides with Riviera's 50th anniversary, and the AACA Museum's 10th anniversary. Visitors to the museum are greeted by six Buicks in the lobby, representing the evolution of the marque from horseless carriage to modern high‐performance. On the turntables are a 1910 Buick Model 10 Surrey, owned by the Museum and "adopted" by the Mason‐Dixon Chapter of BCA, and a 1987 GNX loaned by Buick Heritage Alliance board member Guy Bennett of Wayland, New York. The GNX is #470 of just 547 produced, and has less than 600 miles since new. It still has the factory‐installed plastic covers on the seats and carpets. It was sold new by Mr. Bennett's dealership, which has been selling Buicks continuously since 1922. Four other Buicks in the lobby of the Museum represent outstanding examples of the marque as it appeared over the years: 1935 Model 96S Sport Coupe, one of 41 produced and believed to be the only known survivor. Resplendent in Ambassador Maroon with tan leather interior, this elegant coupe is equipped with side mounted tires with steel covers and a luggage rack. It is owned by the Bulgari Collection of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and was restored to participate in Buick's centennial celebration in 2003.' 1964 Rivera, Regal Black with red interior, an elegant example of the first generation of Buick's personal luxury car that was a design triumph of Bill Mitchell and Ned Nickles.

  • Common Draft Terms of Merger Banco Santander-Banesto
    Common Draft Terms of Merger BETWEEN BANCO SANTANDER, S.A. (as absorbing company) AND BANCO ESPAÑOL DE CRÉDITO, S.A. (as absorbed company) Boadilla del Monte and Madrid, 9 January 2013 1/50 1. INTRODUCTION For purposes of the provisions of sections 30 and 31, et seq. of Law 3/2009 of 3 April, on Structural Modifications of Mercantile Companies (hereinafter, the “Structural Modifications Act”), the undersigned, in their capacity as members of the Board of Directors of Banco Santander, S.A. (“Santander”) and Banco Español de Crédito, S.A. (“Banesto”), respectively, prepare and sign these common draft terms of merger (proyecto común de fusion) (hereinafter, the “Draft Terms of Merger” or the “Draft Terms”), which shall be subject to the approval of the General Shareholders’ Meetings of Santander and Banesto in accordance with the provisions of section 40 of the Structural Modifications Act. The integration of Banco Banif, S.A. (“Banif”) in Santander will be executed in a separate operation. The text of the Terms is as follows. 2. RATIONALE FOR THE MERGER The merger by absorption of Banesto by Santander occurs within the context of a profound restructuring of the Spanish financial system, which involves a major reduction in the number of institutions and the creation of larger institutions. In addition, the Spanish financial system has lost profitability over the last five years due to a drop in margins, which has adversely affected efficiency despite an improvement in costs, as well as to cyclically high provisions. In brief, the financial sector needs to optimise its income, margins, and fees, normalise provisions, and, in sum, improve efficiency.

  • Welcome to Twit.Tv! If You've Stumbled Upon This Page and Are Wondering What It's All About, Read On
    Huh? Welcome to TWiT.tv! If you've stumbled upon this page and are wondering what it's all about, read on. The TWiT.tv Story It all started in 1998 with a small cable network called ZDTV, a channel dedicated to covering computers, the Internet, and personal technology. The people behind this site all worked on that network as hosts, reporters, or producers. In 2004, ZDTV, then called TechTV, was sold and dismantled. Former TechTV hosts, Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose, and John C. Dvorak, and producers Robert Heron, David Prager, and Roger Chang went on to other jobs, but we stayed in touch, with each other, and with fans of the late TechTV. Those fans told us again and again how important TechTV had been in their lives, and how much they missed the channel. We missed working with each other, too. On a rainy evening in January, 2005 a few of of us got together for dinner after spending the day covering MacWorld Expo in San Francisco. Leo, who was working as a radio host, happened to have a microphone and recorder. He turned it on and recorded 20 minutes of idle chatter about the Expo and the tech world in general. He posted that recording on his web site. Within a few days tens of thousands of people had downloaded the recording. TechTV fans began clamoring for more. A few months later,TWiT was born. We originally called the show The Revenge of The Screen Savers because that was the name of the defunct TV show many of us had worked on, but the cable channel that had bought TechTV complained, so we changed the name to this WEEK in TECH, or TWiT, for short.
