...middle-aged" and "respectable" festival-goers. It's a common complaint this summer, with England's festival fields thick with well-heeled campers - the ones with fast broadband and an unblocked credit card to slap on a party-booking for family and friends the moment tickets go on sale. Good news for the corporate sponsors and, to be fair, the ancient bones of Iggy & The Stooges may have given Glastonbury's younger bands an object lesson in bad-assmanship. But if you're 15 and working hard at hanging cool, do you really want to share a mosh pit with...
...October 2005, the Qianjiang Group, China's third-largest scootermaker, purchased Benelli for $24 million. At the time of the bid, Qianjiang's purchase of the storied brand from its last Italian owner was seen as another sign of the country's industrial decline, with local newspapers deriding the sale as a "disaster" and an "ugly story."

FMD causes blistering and fevers in cloven-hoofed animals including cows, sheep, pigs and goats, but rarely infects humans. While rarely fatal, it decimates the health of livestock, reducing weight and milk yield...
...devoted to discussing the waiting lists, long lines and bribes to key salespeople often required to get an early shot at the most sought-after Birkin, Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga or Fendi baguette. So when the newest must-have tote, designed by British bag guru Anya Hindmarch, went on sale in England in April, it wasn't terribly unusual that devotees began lining up at 2 a.m. or that all 20,000 coveted pieces were gone by 9 a.m. What was odd was that instead of queuing up in front of department stores or exclusive boutiques, fashion addicts were camped outside...
