Detroit Renews Effort to Raze Blighted Buildings
City steps up push to tear down thousands of derelict structures
DETROIT—At a sprawling, abandoned public-housing complex that once was home to Motown music legends, a backhoe clawed into a wall Wednesday to mark the city's renewed campaign against blight.
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing stood next to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan to oversee the beginning of the demolition the 78-year-old Frederick Douglass Homes complex, which officials said had become a haven for criminals, a drain on police and firefighting resources, and a drag on property values.

"Even before a shovel turns on new development here, [the demolition] will bring enormous benefits to the surrounding community and to the budget of the city of Detroit," said Mr. Donovan, whose department provided $6.5 million in emergency funding to raze the complex of 12-story towers, mid-rise apartments and townhouses.
For decades, Detroit has struggled with the degradation of its housing stock as jobs disappeared, residents left and home prices dropped. The Bing administration had already demolished more than 8,000 structures since 2009, but officials in the administration of Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said the city hasn't moved fast enough.
So Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr, appointed by Gov. Snyder in March, said this summer he would spend a large chunk of a new $1.25 billion investment fund on blight elimination once the city completes its trip through bankruptcy court.
In July, Detroit filed for federal bankruptcy protection—the largest such municipal filing in U.S. history—with an estimated $18 billion in liabilities.
City officials say nearly one-third of Detroit's 139-square-mile area is empty or unused, with 80,000 homes vacant across the city. Many of its streets have become near jungles, choked by overgrown lawns and climbing vines.Nearly 60% of Detroit's roughly 11,000 fires each year occur in blighted or unoccupied buildings.
But finding the money to eliminate blight has been difficult, with the demolition of each home costing about $8,500. Other challenges include a maze of rules on code enforcement, condemnation and foreclosure that the city must navigate before tearing down a structure.
Last week, Mr. Orr declared through executive order that the city was in a "blight emergency," loosening some of the licensing requirements on contractors pulling down city structures.
Last month, the city was awarded $52.3 million in federal funds for blight removal, to be used in six neighborhoods with at least 8,000 dangerous buildings. City officials pledged to demolish 4,000 structures and return up to 180 houses to productive use.
"Could the process be more efficient? Absolutely," said Gary Brown, a former Detroit councilman tapped by Mr. Orr to revamp city government.
Mr. Brown praised recent pilot programs including the non-profit Blight Authority that recently cleared 14 square blocks of brush, trash and debris in the city's impoverished Brightmoor neighborhood. But Mr. Brown questioned whether the programs could be replicated citywide because the non-profit had waivers from some city requirements and received outside support from foundations for its relative small-scale operation.
With blighted homes razed, said Detroit Public Schools police chief Roderick Grimes, students on their way to the district's 97 schools tend to feel safer. "It may be a little difficult to quantify if there has been a direct reduction in crime, but I know that it gives them a sense that they are less of a target," he said.
Douglass, the nation's first federal housing project that explicitly welcomed African-Americans, closed in 2008 and quickly became a gutted hulk. Despite the history— Smokey Robinson once called the complex home—few say they will miss its windowless structures looming over downtown Detroit.
"It had gotten pretty rough so it was time to go," said Roseanna Johnson, a 78-year-old former resident who spent more than 50 years raising generations of her family at Douglass before moving out in 2008. "People may think that this means Detroit is lost. But I know better. We'll rise again."

For over three decades, Robert Burns Stepto has been writing about and teaching African American literature. His book From Behind the Veil: A Study of Afro-American Narrative (University of Illinois Press), which focuses on several autobiographies of and novels about young black men growing up in America, was first published in 1979.
It's well-established by now that African American and Latino students graduate college at lower rates than do their white and Asian peers, so it follows pretty naturally that many individual colleges would have lower graduation rates for those groups than for white students, too.
Each fall brings articles about rising Asian-American enrollments at leading colleges and universities. But according to Robert T. Teranishi, associate professor of higher education at New York University, those stories ignore broader realities -- many of them challenging -- for Asian-Americans in higher education. In his new book, Asians in the Ivory Tower: Dilemmas of Racial Inequality in American Higher Education, he discusses these challenges.
Oberlin arch honoring Chinese missionaries, a fixture at graduation, has long been criticized as an homage to imperialism. Now administrators have decided, literally, to sidestep the controversy.

The Toronto Raptors are projected to have the number eight pick in this June's upcoming draft, though of course it could be a bit lower or as high as number one. Toronto cannot afford to blow this fantastic opportunity.
This 2012 draft class is considered by many to be the deepest draft since '96 when superstars such as Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Allen Iverson and Ray Allen were drafted along with quality players like Marcus Camby, Jermaine O'Neal, Antoine Walker, Shareef Abdur-Rahim and Derek Fisher. There are more than 10 players in this draft with All-Star level talent and perhaps as many as five superstar level or "max" players in this draft as well.
This draft is so deep that the enigmatic Perry Jones, the consensus "most talented" player and the same player who could have been drafted second or even first in last year's draft, is projected to be drafted no higher than seventh this year.
Toronto Raptor fans are starved for team success and drafting the right player this year could go a long way toward fulfilling their fans' hopes and building a perennial playoff contender. Again, Toronto cannot afford to waste their pick and consequently, their future.
In the following slides I will list the five players that the Raptors should stay away from. There are many quality players they could draft, but these five must be avoided at all costs.

One of Charlestons longest-running family businesses is changing hands but it isnt going anywhere.
A long legacy
1865: Isaac M. Pearlstine opened a general store in Beech Hill in Jasper County.1885: The Pearlstines open a wholesale grocery, hay and grain business in Charleston at 493 King St.1900: I.M. Pearlstine & Sons expanded to include stores in Walterboro, Eutawville, Mount Holly, Hampton, Kingstree, Sumter and Florence.1918: The family company purchased Farline Supply Co., which would evolve into a distributor for Bevo, a beer-flavored soft drink developed by Anheuser-Busch in anticipation of Prohibition.1933: Prohibition was repealed. Bevo production had ended years earlier, but the affiliation with Anheuser-Busch continued.1961: A branch distribution operation was established in Beaufort.1970: Company moved to a facility on Gaynor Avenue in North Charleston.1971: Edwin Pearlstine incorporated the business as Pearlstine Distributors.1982: Palmetto Distributors was formed to handle wines, snack foods, liquor, mixers and bar supplies.1995: Palmetto Distributors was sold. Pearlstine Distributors focused entirely on the distribution of brewed beverages.2003: Company opened a new headquarters and distribution center off Clements Ferry Road.2012: Pearlstine Distributors agreed to be sold to Southern Eagle of Georgia.Source: www.pearlstine.net
The 147-year Pearlstine Distributors Inc., which sells and delivers Anheuser- Busch beers and other brewed beverages, agreed to be sold to Southern Eagle Distributing of Savannah.
The deal was announced today amid mixed emotions.
This is the result of a family business decision, and we anticipate the sale will be complete by the end of the year, the fifth-generation Charleston company said in statement.
Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
Employees were notified about the sale Friday. They will be updated as the sale progresses, the company said.
Its been a very weighty day, said Susan Pearlstine, who, with sister Jan Pearlstine Lipov, is a fifth-generation owner of the company started by their great-great grandfather.
The siblings took over the business from their father, real estate developer Edwin Pearlstine, who remains actively involved in the company but is no longer a shareholder, he said Friday. He sold the company to his children in 1993.
Pearlstine was started as a general store by I.M. Pearlstine in 1865.
Pearlstine Distributors noted that Southern Eagle is also a multi-generational business with a strong commitment to its employees and the communities is works in.
Will Dorminy, owner of Southern Eagle, and his family plan to relocate and set up their business headquarters in Charleston.
We feel like this great growth opportunity for the people who work here, Pearlstine said,
She added: Were not going anywhere. Were here. Were committed to the community.
Pearlstine said it will be business as usual between now and the sale.
We dont want any of our customers to worry, she said.
Southern Eagle was an ideal buyer of the business, said Larry Lipov, president of Pearlstine Distributors. He noted that Dorminys company controls the Anheuser-Busch service territory along the entire Georgia coastline.
Pearlstine Distributors sales area starts just across the border in South Carolina and ends at the Santee River, Lipov said.

Before beginning your self storage search in Oregon City, there are a few things you should know. Oregon City storage unit prices and availability are closely related to things like real estate prices, the type of housing available in the area, the city's wealth, and whether or not many people are moving to the area. We used US Census data on Oregon City to give you a better idea of these factors.
Many people use storage as part of their move, so if there are many people moving to Oregon City, you might expect storage prices to be higher and unit availability to be lower. We can get a good idea of whether or not many people are moving to or from Oregon City by looking at the change in population. According to the US Census, the Oregon City metro area's population grew from 32,716 in 2010 to 35,266 in 2014, a growth rate of 7.79%.
One way to get an idea of the demand for housing and storage space in Oregon City is to look at housing occupancy and vacancy rates. If housing occupancy rates in Oregon City are high, it's probably safe to assume that storage facility occupancy rates in Oregon City are also high, which would push unit prices up. The US Census estimates that housing vacancy rates in Oregon City are at 7.2%, while the occupancy rate is at 92.8%. The average occupancy rate in US cities is approximately 89%, which is lower than the rate in Oregon City, suggesting that storage unit inventory might also be tighter in Oregon City. With fewer units available, storage facilities in Oregon City may charge higher prices.

Give negotiations with Iran a chance
As sensitive nuclear negotiations are beginning with Iran, isn't it time we assess our foe and do some soul searching? A look at a bit of history might help. For instance, why do many Iranians hate us and why does their supreme leader call us the "Great Satan"? After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the first democratically elected prime minister was assassinated in what was generally assumed to be a CIA plot. He was thought to have communist leanings. America then promoted the return of the brutal Shah. In Iranian eyes, he was akin to Saddam Hussein of Iraq, Bashar Assad of Syria and other Mideast despots.
The Iraq-Iran war saw America abetting both sides while looking askance at Hussein's aggression, which resulted in almost a generation of Iranian youth being wiped out. The fact that Israel has been our oldest and best ally in the Mideast has rankled Iranians from the start. In Iranian eyes and, for that matter, Islamists in general, the Holocaust happened in Europe but the Palestinians were punished and their exodus into neighboring countries caused much resentment throughout the region. Another sore point is the vociferous opposition to the Iranian program by Israel while it maintains its own cache of nuclear weapons with no oversight or inspection.
Of course it goes without saying that the Iranians have done precious little to enhance our trust in them. It should be readily apparent that no one approaches these complicated negotiations with clean hands. In view of this, the Senate's consideration of putting on stricter sanctions will risk scuttling the whole deal. We can only hope that petty personal politics will not prevail.

"Worst Spam Offenders" Notified by ICANN | Compliance system working to correct Whois and other issues
In order to clarify the system for dealing with incorrect "Whois" domain name registration information, and deal with community concern, ICANN is releasing the following information regarding its compliance work.
MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: ICANN has sent enforcement notices and notices of concern to certain registrars, including those reported this week as being the registrars for the majority of websites advertised in spam emails.
Earlier this week, an investigation by KnujOn, widely reported online, publicly identified 10 registrars as being the companies used to register the majority of domain names that have since appeared in spam email messages.
More than half of those registrars named had already been contacted by ICANN prior to publication of KnujOn's report, and the remainder have since been notified following an analysis of other sources of data, including ICANN's internal database.
With tens of millions of domain names in existence, and tens of thousands changing hands each day, ICANN relies upon the wider Internet community to report and review what it believes to be inaccurate registration data for individual domains. To this end, a dedicated online system called the Whois Data Problem Report System ("WDPRS") was developed in 2002 to receive and track such complaints.*
"ICANN sends, on average, over 75 enforcement notices per month following complaints from the community. We also conduct compliance audits to determine whether accredited registrars and registries are adhering to their contractual obligations," explained Stacy Burnette, Director of Compliance at ICANN.** "Infringing domain names are locked and websites removed every week through this system."
Although the majority of registrars offer excellent services and contribute to the highly competitive market for domains, ICANN's compliance department has developed an escalation process to protect registrants and give registrars an opportunity to cure cited violations before ICANN commences the breach process.
However, while registrars are responsible for investigating claims of Whois inaccuracy, it is not fair to assume a registrar that sponsors spam-generating domain names is affiliated with the spam activity. A distinction must be made between registrars and an end user who chooses to use a particular domain name for illegitimate purposes.
"But if those registrars, including those publicly cited, do not investigate and correct alleged inaccuracies reported to ICANN, our escalation procedure can ultimately result in ICANN terminating their accreditation and preventing them from registering domain names," Ms Burnette said.
* For more information on the WDPRS system, please review the April edition of the ICANN's Contractual Compliance Newsletter, available at: http://www.icann.org/compliance/archive/compliance-newsletter-200805.html.
** Figures on notices sent out by ICANN are updated monthly and are available online and in a newsletter than anyone can subscribe to (subscribe to this and other newsletters at: http://www.icann.org/newsletter).
About ICANN:
ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers like domain names (like .org, .museum and country codes like .uk) and the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols that help computers reach each other over the Internet. Careful management of these resources is vital to the Internet's operation, so ICANN's global stakeholders meet regularly to develop policies that ensure the Internet's ongoing security and stability. ICANN is an internationally organized, public benefit non-profit company. For more information please visit: www.icann.org.

Initially, there was nothing particular about Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers that was of interest to me. I knew I would watch the game with some degree of attention, but was primarily more excited to be with friends and watch the commercials.
In a non-competitive first half that saw the Packers strike out to an early 21-10 lead, I was largely uninterested in continuing further in front of the TV.
Then, the second half kicked off and the game was on. Pittsburgh's comeback was inevitable, but how close would they come? Playing from behind, they didn't mount a furious rally of quick scores, but built momentum gradually as they reined the Pack back towards even.
As the clock ticked down in the fourth quarter, the Steelers kept coming, which precipitated a dramatic finish that I hadn't expected just an hour earlier.
Within that comeback, and the time preceding it, were many signature moments that this Super Bowl will be remembered for.
Here are the 10 biggest game-changing moments from Super Bowl XLV.

Marcus Theatres' Menomonee Falls and Ridge cinemas are showing all nine best-picture nominees in a package deal Saturday and Sunday, while AMC Mayfair Mall is showing four of the nine in a package on Saturday; the movies are included below, but check the theaters' websites for details.

Kronos Quartet makes new music with passion, precision

Princess Fiona rescues First Stage Children's Theater's 'Shrek'
Early in "Shrek," the green-hued monster tells his faithful sidekick that ogres, like onions, have many layers. But as Donkey knows, there's more than one way to peel this metaphor. Late in the show, Donkey accuses Shrek of being wrapped in so many layers that he has lost touch with his feelings.
Donkey could have been describing the plaster and latex monstrosity encasing the head of John Maclay, who plays Shrek in the just-opened First Stage Children's Theater version of the Broadway musical, under Jeff Frank's direction. Intent on transforming a man into an ogre, First Stage risks missing the point: Appearances notwithstanding, this ogre feels and loves like a man. »Read Full Article(1)
A jazzy, and toe-tapping, start to MSO's Pops series
When Verve Records' Norman Granz found both Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recording on his label's roster in 1956, he just knew he had to take the opportunity to record the pair together.
It was a good hunch. Over three albums, two of the biggest jazz stars at the peak of their popularity created some of the genre's most memorable and sparkling duets. »Read Full Article

Your Servis was fantastic
From: Chicago, IL
The hat was everything I thought it would be: stylish and warm. Very comfortable and size was perfect. My only comment is that I wish there was a store where I could look and try the different hats on although I'd be buying three or four at a time. Love the hat.
From: Austin, TX
I love hats. AND I love sheepskin hats. This one is so comfy and warm, looks great with a poncho and boots. Nice touch of class, and a great fit. ( I always order one size up to not crush my hair too much!) Nice hand, and I really like the look and the quality.
From: Beach Park Il.
This is my 3rd hat from Fur Hat World and it is kind of ratty compared to the others witch are spectacular.
From: lincolnshire
made a great Christmas present.
From: Brooklyn New York
Received the product within the five days the oder was placed. Once I open the box and tried on the hat it was a perfect fit. Love the hat, it just what I saw on the wed site.
From: New York, NY, USA
I was concerned about the size when looking at the reviews, but I got medium and it fits perfectly. I do have short, thin hair, and the hat is meant to be snug, so people with thick hair might need to get a bigger size. It is a beautiful hat, and VERY warm.
From: Massachusetts
Very nicely made excellent quality and appearance. However, I had to return the Cuff Hat as it didn't fit. I measuredly head and at 22 inches I should have been a medium,but in fact it was to tight. I appreciate the 'no hasssel return',but as the hat was sold out,will have to wait until the sling to order in my size for next winter :(

BG016/B Ophthalmic Glasses
BG016 is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. The BG016 is brand new on the market in 2016, with this eyewear you are at the cutting-edge of trends. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of BG016in our 2015, and 2016 Bogner range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive. Similar to grey, brown lenses don't distort the visual impression as much as other colours do. With all other shades, the eyes take longer to neutralize the colour impression. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Bogner back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get BG016 at such a low price, not even in the sale.
