Them Empty Bed Blues
A J.C. Johnson song, made famous by Bessie Smith ... recorded by her in 1928, I believe. Not sure if lyrics below completely accurate, but I love them.
I woke up this morning with an awful aching head,
I woke up this morning with an awful aching head,
My new man had left me just a room and an empty bed.
Bought me a coffee grinder, got the best one I could find,
Bought me a coffee grinder, got the best one I could find,
So he could grind my coffee, 'cause he had a brand new grind.
He's a deep-sea diver with a stroke that can't go wrong,
He's a deep-sea diver with a stroke that can't go wrong,
He can stay at [or touch] the bottom, and his wind holds out so long
He knows how to thrill me, and he thrills me night and day,
[Lord] he knows how to thrill me, and he thrills me night and day,
He's got a new way of loving, almost takes my breath away.
[Lord] he's got that sweet somethin', and I told my galfriend Lou,
He's got that sweet somethin', and I told my galfriend Lou,
From [or, 'Cause] the way she's raving, she must have gone and tried it too.
When my bed get empty, make me feel awful mean and blue,
When my bed get empty, make me feel awful mean and blue,
My [or, 'Cause] springs are getting rusty, sleepin' single like [or, the way] I do.
Bought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night,
Bought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night,
Then I bought him a mattress so he could lay just right.
He came home one evening with his fair head way up high,
He came home one evening with his far head way up high,
What he had to give me made me wring my hands and cry.
He give me a lesson that I never had before,
He give me a lesson that I never had before,
When he got through teachin' me, from my elbows down was sore.
He boiled my first cabbage, and he made it awful hot,
He boiled my first cabbage, and he made it awful hot,
Then he put in the bacon and it overflowed the pot
When you get good lovin' never go and spread the news,
When you get good lovin' never go and spread the news,
They'll double cross you and leave you with them empty bed blues.

“New Republic” not funded with fascist money
"the money inherited traces back to the inventor of the sewing machine, Isaac Merritt Singer. While the money does trace back to the Singer Sewing Machine Company, Isaac Singer did not invent the sewing machine, and Peretz’s uxorial nest egg traces back to Edward Clark, Singer’s patent lawyer, who was granted a full partnership in return for wresting the sewing machine patent away from the actual inventor, Elias Howe."

CyberTrader to be dumped - Austin Business Journal Jun 24, 2007
San Francisco-based Schwab, one the nation's largest discount brokers with 6.9 million accounts, bought CyberTrader in 2000 for $488 million.
Over the past seven years, Schwab has taken the trading technology the CyberTrader team developed -- such as streaming market information and analytical tools -- into its fold and made it available to Schwab clients. All the while, CyberTrader and Schwab have been operating under separate broker-dealer licenses. When the integration is complete, all of those clients will be served under Schwab's license, making for a more efficient operation, Phillips says.

Ameritrade and E*Trade are the nation's only publicly traded online brokerages."
