  footnoted.org — Authority: 508
  Last week, The Travelers (TRV) named veteran executive Donald J. Shepard to its board of directors, according to this 8-K filed late Friday. Snore city, right? After all, even at large companies, director changes are hard to get all that worked up about. What piqued our interest was the lack of detail in the 8-K. ...

• Perot gets a gross-up…

  
  footnoted.org — Authority: 508
  As footnoted regulars know, we hate to pick on the same company twice in a row. Not that we necessarily consider outing the stuff that companies try to bury in their routine filings really picking on someone (or something). But we’re sure that some people see it that way. Still, the 8-K that Dell (DELL) filed on ...

  The Walt Disney Co. filed its 10-K yesterday and this exhibit in the filing caught our attention. As the exhibit notes, Disney’s 11 outside board members received a raise from $65K a year to $80K a year. Granted, in terms of annual retention fees for companies of Disney’s size, $80K doesn’t seem unusually ...

  No Expiration - a blog about timeless music — Authority: 432
  Times are tough and moneys tight, thats why it was cool of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers to offer their new box set The Live Anthology in two formats: $20 for four CDs, or $100 for a deluxe five CD, two DVD, one LP set. I was going to go cheap. Then, last week, I listened to the latest episode of Toms SIRIUSXM ...

  The Drunk Pirate — Authority: 99
  For most of my life I’ve been able to maintain a relatively good physique by eating and drinking whatever I wanted just as long as I made a concerted effort to go to the gym at least twice a week.

  The Allmusic Blog — Authority: 429

Cotten developed the simple melody of the song from folk sources, and used it as a lullaby when putting her great grandchildren to bed in the evening. She encouraged the kids to think of words for ...
