May 9, 2008 Raffles Hotel looks set to be sold at hefty price tag Consortium led by banker may buy hotel and adjoining arcade for $650m By Joyce Teo MYSTERY buyers are set to acquire the historic Raffles Hotel for more than treble the $200 million it sold for just three years ago. The 121-year-old hotel and the adjoining shopping arcade are changing hands again after a consortium led by a Singapore-based banker agreed to buy the property, the American and Middle Eastern owners announced yesterday. The eye-popping price tag is about $650 million, The Business Times (BT) reported yesterday. The dramatic jump in value of the heritage property is the result of Singapore's booming hotel industry, market watchers say. Average room rates are now about $240, way up from $136 in 2005. The identiti
Little gem from the 1970's.BBC Radio 4 Site says:In the late 1970s, several of the UK's major cities were the stars of B-movies the so-called 'Quota Quickies'...One such classic is called Telly Savalas Looks At Birmingham. It has the American actor extolling the virtues and history of Birmingham.His narration is unintentionally funny and wonderfully kitsch...The director of these quota quickies, the late Harold Baim, seemed to have an obsession with multi-storey car parks, concrete shopping centres and motorways in his attempt to catapult the city into the 21st century.Others in the Harold Baim series include Telly Savalas Looks At Aberdeen and Telly Savalas Looks At Portsmouth.The Quota Quickies were shown in cinemas before the main feature because of a law which meant that cinemas had to

Four times annually, the Federal Reserve surveys 84 different banks about general banking conditions.
One of the survey questions asks about current mortgage lending standards and whether they are loosening or tightening.
The chart at right is from the April 2008 survey and it illustrates what we already know: It's getting tougher and tougher to get approved for a home loan.
Some of the areas in which mortgage guidelines are tightening are well-known:
More thorough income documentation
Higher credit score requirements
More "money in the bank" post-closing
Some areas are less well-known:
More scrutiny of prior delinquencies
Strict review of appraised values

MILTON-FREEWATER - When Pat Dirr and Julie Culjak enrolled in one of Geri Honn's bead classes at Suncatcher Studio in Milton- Freewater, they had no idea they were about to enter a business partnership. "We were all talking about how someone ought to open a place locally to buy beads," said Dirr, who originally had no intention of being that "someone." Culjak couldn't agree more."I had just moved here in July and signed up for classes to meet people," she said. Culjak also noted that once a rental site had been found, she had to quickly catch her husband up to speed. "I didn't think we were serious. I hadn't even told him yet," she said.But what Dirr, Culjak and Honn have created is a unique bead boutique for beaders with all tastes and abilities. "We really tried to make it homey," said C

Are We There Yet?...The platinum pisser may be the one getting screwed this time.
A woman is set to testify at R. Kelly's upcoming child pornography trial, revealing that she had a threesome with Kelly and the allegedly underage girl shown in the infamous video.
Sources tell the Chicago Sun-Times that the new witness not only will testify that she was underage when she had the threesome with Kelly -- but also that the other girl involved is the exact same person who is now identified as the alleged victim.
Prosecutors claim to have identified the girl in the videotape -- who is now in her 20s. She denies it's her on the tape. She will take the stand in the trial as well.
Jury selection for the trial begins Friday. Both sides declined to comment, citing a gag order in the case Read Mo

S&P has tried and failed to overcome the 1400 level consistently over the last couple of months. Today, it overcame 1400 for a bit only to fall back. in fact, as I write this, the rally that has lasted most of the day has completely evaporated and S&P is now lower on the day. For the last week, I have looked at my holdings again and again wondering if I should sell my long positions or trim down. Many of my stocks have been steady and forming nice bottoms or bases (Omniture, Marchex) and some have just been going up at any sign of a broader market rally. Visa, Potash, RIMM, Apple and Nintendo have all weathered the pull backs exceptionally well and I am torn whether to hold on and ride out the bear or to sell and buy at lower levels. But then

Urban property prices rose less rapidly in March than in the first two months, and the property outlook index, which covers price and investment trends, continued to decline in March after peaking in November. But the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) said that it was still premature to draw the conclusion that the market was heading south.
