Ontario Teachers likely to buy rest of UK's Bristol Airport: source Posted: 28 Jul 2014 07:16 AM PDT Canada's Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan is likely to buy the rest of Britain's Bristol Airport in a deal worth up to 250 million pounds ($424.6 million), a source closely monitoring the situation said on Monday. The pension fund, which already owns 49 percent of the regional airport, has the right of first offer for the 50 percent owned by Australian asset manager Macquarie Group . Macquarie, the world's largest infrastructure asset manager, was sounding out buyers for its holding, British newspaper The Sunday Times reported. Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan is eyeing the stake as it seeks to expand its infrastructure holdings from $12 billion to around $18 billion.

Healthier High School Lunches Get a Mixed Bag of Reviews Posted: 28 Jul 2014 05:00 AM PDT The reviews on healthier school lunches are in, and it seems most high school students think they are tolerable.

"High school kids, you know they got their opinions right away," says Susan Birmingham, director of food service for Frontier Central School District in Hamburg, New York.
