Hollywood film giant links with China distributor
Tuesday 16 August 2011
Relativity Media, the production company behind "The Social Network", has teamed up with two Chinese firms in a $100 million deal that gives it access to China's rapidly expanding film market.
Relativity will co-produce and distribute "cross cultural" films and television programmes with China's Huaxia Film Distribution and SkyLand Film-Television Culture Development, the companies said in a statement.
Huaxia is China's second-largest distributor, while SkyLand recently made the English-language film "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Chinese American Wayne Wang, produced by Wendi Murdoch and starring Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi.
The three-way cooperation, announced Sunday in Beijing by Relativity chief executive Ryan Kavanaugh and Huaxia executive chairman Gu Guoqing, comes as China puts up seven new cinema screens a day and sells more tickets than ever.
China is the world's fastest-growing film market, with 2010 movie box office takings up 64 percent to hit $1.5 billion, according to official figures.
The new joint venture will distribute Relativity titles such as the mythological action film "Immortals" and an untitled Snow White film starring Julia Roberts under the SkyLand banner.
Two-year-old SkyLand is backed by Chinese private equity firm SAIF Partners and the China arm of Boston-based media fund IDG.
Kavanaugh said Relativity would work with SAIF and IDG to develop, produce, distribute and acquire Chinese television shows and films made for China that might also have worldwide appeal.
"It is unquestionable that China and the United States must work closely together to build an entertainment business for the future, which strives to make and release global product appealing to worldwide audiences," he said.
Huaxia's Gu said the partnership would also "open the channels for Chinese movies to air globally and offer international audiences a better understanding of Chinese culture".
China's one-party government has encouraged the heavily-regulated film industry to use the medium to promote a positive image of China around the world.

Asian economies are leading the recovery of international container trade volumes, but strong growth across the region could see pre-recession pressure on freight infrastructure re-emerge, a senior executive of container shipping line APL told a conference in Ho Chi Minh City on May 20.
"Intra-Asia is already the world's single largest container trade," Jason Wong, Vice President of APL's Intra Asia trade, told the 8th ASEAN Ports & Shipping Conference. "This will continue over the long term as Asian consumer markets develop."
By 2015, Intra Asia will contribute 32% of global containerised trade, with the Asia-U.S. and Asia-Europe trades 17% and 18% respectively, according to analyst Global Insight.
Wong said that along with China and India, South East Asian economies such as Vietnam and Indonesia had shown resilience to the global crisis and had continued to grow in 2010.
More transportation services will be required to support the growth of freight moving within Asia, according to Wong, who identified North Asia to South East Asia as a high potential trade. To serve this market, he said, APL launched the Japan Thailand Vietnam and Korea China Straits services in 2009.
Wong said freight infrastructure development must be a top priority across Asia to optimise trade flows and maximise economic growth.
He highlighted Vietnam's progress in developing world-class freight handling facilities – particularly those in and around Ho Chi Minh City ¬– such as Vietnam International Container Terminal (VICT), and new deepwater terminals such as Saigon Port-PSA (SP-PSA). It was from the SP-PSA terminal that APL launched the industry's first direct container shipping service between Vietnam and the US in 2009.
"These facilities will help place Vietnam alongside the top trading nations," concluded Wong.
APL and its parent company, Neptune Orient Lines (NOL), have had a long association with Vietnam. APL-NOL became the first Singapore-based transportation and logistics company to establish wholly owned operations in Vietnam on 1 January 2007. NOL is also the major investor in the Vietnam International Container Terminal (VICT), which became the country's first purpose-built container handling facility when it commenced operations in 1998.

The agency's clients include Tumbleweed Tex-Mex Grill & Margarita Bar and Mortenson Family Dental.

Sam Wallace: A righteous anger that was hitherto absent
Punishing people on the basis of their private lives is a tricky business indeed
Tuesday 23 February 2010
There must be very few people who currently have reason to feel deeply grateful to Ashley Cole – apart from, that is, John Terry, from whom Cole is currently drawing fire in spectacular fashion.
It is only 18 days since Terry's sacking as England captain was announced and the Chelsea skipper was firmly installed in the court of public opinion as the nation's villain du jour. Fast-forward to today and it is Cole who finds himself vilified over the allegations that he cheated on his wife, Cheryl Cole.
While Chelsea stood firmly behind Terry as the media firestorm raged around him they seem to have taken a different attitude towards Cole. The allegations that he used club officials to help him in his philandering seem to have lit a righteous anger in the club that was hitherto absent.
Say what you like about Ashley Cole – and most people do – but what goes on in the privacy of his marriage is not anyone else's business, not even his employer. Punishing people on the basis of their private lives is a tricky business because no outsider can ever be certain of the full details.
Roman Abramovich and Carlo Ancelotti have both gone through separations, in the owner's case the tally stands at two divorces, the second rather expensive. Peter Kenyon, the former chief executive, had a similar count. None of us would presume to judge them precisely because, as with Cole, we have no idea what went on.
If Cole's crime is that he broke the rules at Chelsea then he is not the only one. In fact, his very signing at Chelsea was facilitated by Kenyon and the then manager Jose Mourinho running roughshod over the regulations governing transfers. But Chelsea did not censure either of them, it took the Premier League to do that.
Cole may also wish to point to Chelsea's swift exoneration of Terry over allegations that he was paid £10,000 to show an undercover reporter around Chelsea's training ground in the company of a well-known ticket tout. Terry claimed that the money went to charity and the club found no evidence of wrongdoing. Makes you think, doesn't it?
Cole's chief crime, in the eyes of a critical public, seems to be that he has blown a marriage with a woman who has been publicly venerated to levels unseen since Florence Nightingale was doing her ward rounds in the Crimean War. But however annoying it is for those people who regard him as an ungrateful little sod it is not the grounds for disciplining him.
If Chelsea had really wanted to set an example in decency they would have taken Cole to task for the way in which he arrogantly turned his back on referee Mike Riley at White Hart Lane in 2008. On that occasion the whole extent of the crime was obvious to see, but there was no action from the club. To his credit, an apology from Cole was forthcoming.
Cole does not have anything to apologise about over his marriage because only he and good Sister Florence know what goes on there. And if Chelsea want to start dishing out punishments according to sexual transgressions then everyone at the club, starting with the owner, had better put their cards on the table.

STOCKTON (CBS13) – Police say that a pair of men who robbed a man Monday evening used an unsuspecting taxi driver for their getaway.
The incident happened just after 6 p.m. along the 6500 block of Inglewood Avenue, according to the Stockton Police Department. Officers were told that a man was sitting on the sidewalk in the area when two men got out of a brown taxi cab.
The men then walked up, took the man's laptop and then tried to punch the victim when he tried to snatch it back. Police say the men then got back into the waiting taxi and left.
Police say that the victim believes the taxi cab driver was none the wiser about the crime his passengers just committed.

In search of rustic retreats
As a new rail route threatens the heart of rural England, Oliver Bennett tracks down the last idyllic hotspots
Wednesday 24 March 2010
The Government's ambitious £30bn plan for a high-speed rail network has already alerted house hunters to the renewed possibilities of country life – linking rural Britain to the cities, providing many more commuting opportunities and, no doubt, ramping up house prices in and around the network hubs.
But, with the proposed route cutting through some of Britain's most idyllic countryside, not everyone is keen. Sir John Johnson, chairman of the Chilterns Conservation Board, which is campaigning against the proposed London to Birmingham high-speed line, says "The Chilterns is a piece of England's finest countryside and a high-speed rail link will damage it forever".
This may sound a shade Nimby-ish, but the benefits of high-speed rail are not always welcome. According to Johnson many people along the preferred route are already concerned about what it will do to the value of their homes. As well as the new infrastructure and its effect on the landscape, the rural destinations close to mainline stations, or motorway junctions, can quickly become dormitories: suburban rather than rural in nature. This has happened in the Home Counties, and is already filtering through to Kent, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and even Devon. Some have called this phenomenon "Rurban" or "Rururban": a mixture of rural and urban, not quite either.
What of true, get-away-from-it-all rural life? Where can you still find solace from trains, planes and automobiles?
The North-East
The North-east is less touristy than the Lake District and the kind of rugged place that is attracting lifestyle buyers and the retired. "The North-east is one of the country's most sparsely populated areas and it's one of England's best kept secrets," says Stephen McOwan, of local agents George F White. "Many areas of Northumberland, plus the Durham and Yorkshire Dales, are still quite isolated, with small villages and market towns often well over an hour from a mainline train station, and not near any main roads or major airports. We're not on the route of the planned high-speed rail link so these places are set to retain their rural character." Expect hills, bracing coastline, minimal light and sound pollution – and if you occasionally miss the bright lights, Newcastle and Edinburgh aren't too far away.
Relatively close to London, and with its fair share of second-home owners, Suffolk is known for posh boltholes like Southwold, where Gordon and Sarah Brown holidayed last year. But as motorists on the slow A12 will testify, the deeper parts of the county are as remote as it gets in the south of England – and despite attempts to make the county town, Ipswich, and the south Norfolk town of Diss commuter destinations, there's no real alternative to the car. Try the market towns – Saxmundham and Framlingham, where prices are far keener than on the coast, and where night skies are truly dark. "Framlingham is on the road to nowhere with the closest mainline train station being 10 miles away in Ipswich," says Philip Harvey of Property Vision, the buyer's advisor and subsidiary of HSBC Private Bank. "It may be too rustic for some, but the most charming houses in East Anglia can be found here. Suffolk's heritage coastline is on your doorstep, along with cultural amenities nearby including the Snape Maltings concert hall."
England's second-biggest county has long attracted workers from the Midlands to its coast, and yet large swathes have been forgotten by transport masterplanners – which will suit those in pursuit of big skies, long views and low population counts. "Properties in secluded locations are becoming more and more difficult to find," says Peter Mills of Chesterton Humberts in Grantham. "When they come on the market, they generate a lot of interest – and if there is land with the property, this will increase its value. In areas such as the Fens you might have to drive 20 minutes to buy your morning newspaper, and parts of of the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds can offer similar seclusion. Buyers are looking for a complete lifestyle change or a rural holiday home."
North Norfolk can be a bit Chelsea-on-Sea, and certainly Burnham Market has its fair share of Up From Londons. But you can still get away from built-up areas. "To the north and east of King's Lynn, the county is dominated by large landed estates, small market towns and villages and a landscape that is mainly arable farmland," says Ben Marchbank of Bedfords in Burnham Market. "Rail links are often not there, as it wouldn't prove economically viable to reinstate the lines cut by Dr Beeching rail reorganisation of the 1960s."
Isle of Wight
We don't necessarily think of the Isle of Wight as remote, but train lines are few, there's only one major roundabout, and only light aircraft can land on the island. In the interior, you can find real solace amid the chalky downs. On the other hand, there are a lot of boats.

School, hockey are a good fit
Jets Academy benefits kids who might not be able to play
The power of sport, celebrated with this Saturday's Sports Day in Canada, is what the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy continues to be up to, lockout or not.
Officials from ParticipAction and True Sport made an appearance in Winnipeg Wednesday to help highlight one of the province's best programs when it comes to participation.
The Jets Hockey Academy, an undertaking of the True North Foundation, is actually going into its sixth year of trying to expose hockey to underserved kids who may not otherwise have a chance to play the sport.
Formerly operated under the Manitoba Moose franchise, the program is being expanded in 2012-13 from 150 kids to more than 400.
"We talked with all the schools and administrations involved and one of the big things that we found was attendance rates were well up, well over 90 per cent in all the schools we were involved with," said Winnipeg Jets True North Foundation executive director Dwayne Green.
"Probably one of the biggest impacts was those administrations indicating that families were more engaged in coming to parent-teacher interviews or coming to watch kids play.
"When you can engage families and schools and the greater community with the positive effects on youth... that's what we're doing it for."
Classes of Grade 2s, 3s and 6s were on the ice at the MTS Iceplex for a morning session on Wednesday.
"To be able to tie it to them attending school is going to have a positive influence on the kids of the province and future leaders of the province," Green said.
"It's rewarding. When you have 50 students out here and 75 per cent of them haven't put on gear before, it's organized chaos but it's beautiful to see them participate."
Incentives are part of the part of the approach.
Green said that it's the intent of the program, "to choose kids who might have the aptitude to excel in such a program, that they attend school and they're getting their homework done and during the day they'd have the opportunity to participate in this program."
Green was also happy to reveal that new sponsors have caught the fever of the academy's work, in part through the community's Jets fever.
Joining existing sponsor E.H. Price are Princess Auto, Birchwood Automotive, True North Sports & Entertainment, Maple Leaf Construction and Investors Group, all involved in the "adopt a class" program that sees sponsors donate staff hours to assist the program.
Sports Day in Canada is the annual awareness effort to illustrate how sport can transform lives for all Canadians.
ParticipAction's recent survey showed that while nearly all Canadians recognize the value of sport, only 37 per cent say they participate at least once a week.
Only seven per cent of kids are considered active enough to meet Canada's physical activity guidelines.

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board this month approved buying a $1.8 million parcel of land on NE Marshall Street for a price of about $49 per square foot.
But at the same meeting it pitched a fit when asked to pay $5 per square foot for a tiny chunk of land a scant third of a mile way.
The reason?
Some park commissioners feel the city's development officials are gouging them by charging $14,090 for the smaller parcel. But the city has a different explanation.
The Park Board's view, argued most passionately by Commissioner Jon Olson, is that the city has no other feasible buyer for that small parcel. It's about half the size of a typical city lot and sits in the shadow of a rusting high-voltage transmission line tower.
The Park Board wants the land for a planned East Bank trail that will stretch from nearby NE Marshall St. to Boom Island Park. What frosted some commissioners is that they last year approved to a no-cost agreement down river on the West Bank that allowed the city to build a trail that runs through Bluff Street Park to connect with the end of the bike-foot Bridge 9.
So why not return the favor, they asked. "It's completely ridiculous," Olson fumed, arguing that the remnant parcel at 1326 NE Water St.is otherwise unmarketable for the city. He suggested rejecting the price, for which the city has supporting appraisals. Then the Park Board should put up signs where the trail would end at the parcel telling the citizenry why, he said.
But the city's response is that this is connected to a larger deal in which the city previously sold land to the park system for the partly developed Veterans Memorial Park. According to Wes Butler, the city's manager of residential finance, the parcel in question was held out of that sale because it was encumbered with a railroad easement. The railroad agreed to lift that easement for a price, to be paid for by the city and the Park Board. So the sale price was the city's way of collecting the Park Board's share of the easement price, plus the land's fair market value.
Commissioner John Erwin argued that the trail planned for 2016 will pay dividends for the city in increasing property values. "I mean this is the gift that keeps on giving," he said. But some of the posturing may be with an eye on the upper riverfront's future. "I shudder to think what they're going to charge for the upper harbor if they're going to charge $14,000 for this little triangle," Erwin said, referring to a piece of city-owned land that will be divided between city plans for a business park and Park Board plans for a parkway and recreational paths.
The board sent its staff back to do some harder bargaining with the city.
(Photo above: The land lies alongside this transmission tower, with the BNSF railroad bridge in the background. Aerial photo below: The disputed parcel, outlined in yellow, is close to the Mississippi River. That's the 1400 block of NE Marshall St. at right. )
Minneapolis development officials have released additional details on a potential legislative proposal they're pitching for easing restrictions on tax-increment financing to assist redevelopment at the Upper Harbor Terminal.
Tax-increment financing allows a city to use additional taxes generated by a development to pay for public improvements associated with preparing the site for that development. The 48-acre terminal shuts down at the end of the year, and riverfront plans for the area call for a business park with a fringe of riverside park. It's the first major site -- and likely the largest -- for carrying out a landmark 1999 plan for revamping the upper river.
The Department of Community Planning and Economic Development's ideas for special legislation are intended to loosen time frames and cross-subsidy restrictions. That would make use of the financing tool more feasible as the redevelopment unfolds over an undetermined period, The department offered its proposals at a Thursday afternoon meeting of the City Council's Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
The public investments at the terminal are expected to include clearing the site, building new streets and relocating utilities, moving an overhead high-voltage line and building a parkway and trails. The city estimated that would cost $10 million, but Park Board construction of a parkway and associaed parks would be on top of that.
Some of that money is expected to come from grants and selling land, but the city said in its Power Point presentation that tax-increment revenue "could be an important tool."
A judge has ruled that the controversial pumping of groundwater from the underground parking area of an upscale Uptown apartment building into city sewers and a nearby lagoon violates Minneapolis ordinances and constitutes trespass.
Hennepin County District Judge Philip D. Bush ruled Wednesday in a lawsuit brought last winter by the city of Minneapolis against apartment owner Lake and Knox LLC. over its pumping into nearby sewers and waters of millions of gallons a year of groundwater that would otherwise seep into the building's lower garage. The 56-unit building at 1800 W. Lake St. stirred debate in 2009 over the appropriate height for buildings in the area.
Bush's order said he'll set a hearing within 30 days on the city's request that he issue an injunction banning the pumping into sewers and the lagoon between Lake Calhoun and Lake of the Isles.
He indicated he'll issue a separate order later on the city's claim that a civil penalty of $1,000 per day should be levied for the unpermitted discharge into the sewers. The city also claims more than $130,000 in expenses for responding to the issue, including installing winter piping to direct the water out of the lagoon and into Calhoun.
"We're extremely pleased," City Attorney Susan Segal said in reaction. "This has been a very frustrating and time-consuming problem for the city to deal with." Representatives of the building's ownership couldn't be reached for comment. The city's filings identified them as developers Nick Walton and Daniel Oberpriller, who brought in other investors.
Lake and Knox has also brought claims against BKV Group, RLK Inc. and Braun Intertec, which it said provided engineering or geotechnical services for the project. A separate jury trail would determine how to apportion liability among them.
Bush granted a motion for summary judgment brought by the city that argued that the pumping of groundwater constituted an unpermitted discharge of water into storm sewers that violates city ordinances. The city granted the developers a temporary permit to pump groundwater during construction of parking levels that were installed below the water table. But it argued that permit ended when construction did and that no permit for permanent pumping was obtained.
He also granted the city argument that the pumping constitutes a public nuisance under city ordinance. The city alleged that the pumping impeded the effectiveness of city storm drains, and impairs the Chain of Lakes by adding to their algae-feeding load of phosphorus. Bush also granted a city argument that the discharge constitutes a trespass of city sewers.
The city has portrayed the owners in court filings as proceeding with a two-level underground garage despite evidence that the lower level would sit below the area's water table.
The city has estimated in its arguments that the discharge amounts to 90 million gallons annually. That discharge into the lagoon has thinned the nearby ice in winter, endangering cross-country skiers and others, according to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, which joined the city in the lawsuit. The city and Park Board allege that the drainage mars the lakes scenery and hinders maintenance of a sewer grit chamber intended to remove sediment and accompanying pollutants.
The city alleged that the developers were told repeatedly that they needed to apply for a permit to discharge into sewers after construction. "They knew exactly what they were doing," said Brian Rice, an attorney for the Park Board. "The sign is red, they know there's a stop sign, and they're driving through the stop sign at 30 miles per hour."
Dan McLaughlin, president of the East Isles Residents Association, said area residents want pumping ended. "We look forward to the final solution for the problem they created," he said.
Lara Norkus-Crampton, a Calhoun area resident, praised the city and Park Board for working together to preserve the lakes area ecosystem. "It only takes one rogue developer to make a bigger impact than any of us could create," she said. Norkus-Crampton resigned from the Planning Commission in 2009 over the commission granting variances and other approvals for the apartment that she felt violated the Uptown small area plan.
By 2016, a new set of recreation paths should extend up the East Bank of the Mississippi River in northeast Minneapolis, matching a set built on the opposite bank in 2007.
They'll be the first major expansion of park trails in the city since the West Bank trails, and a major stpe forward in plans to revamp the upper riverfront .
A community advisory committee has recommended a route for the new paths from the current ending point at the Plymouth Avenue Bridge and extending to NE Marshall Street where it's crossed by the Burlington Northern tracks.
That's a distance along the river of about three-quarters of a mile, but the proposed route is closer to a mile in length because it meaders.
That plan gets a public hearing at the Park Board at 6:30 on Nov. 19. Design work would start after baord approval and the project would be bid next year, with work finishing in 2016, according to the project schedule. Most of the money is coming from a $1 million federal grant, with metro money contributing another $600,000.
The proposed trails would be separated where possible, with a 10-foot bike path and an eight-foot foot trail. Where they'd be combined in places where space is tight, they'd be a minimum of 12 feet wide. The paths might be fenced in spots, such as where they run close to the river, or near the railroad.
The proposed rout meaders around various riverfront features. It passes under the Plymouth bridge close to the east abutment to leave space for the planned recreation of an island offshore at the future park planned for the former Scherer lumber site. Then it swings east to loop around that park site, so that it leaves room for construction equipment that will eventually build the island and park facilities.
Then the route swings toward the river, to fit behind the Graco complex, and goes under the Broadway Avenue Bridge. It swings on the inland side of the memorial at Sheridan Memorial Park, on the river side of a proposed play area there, and then along an abandoned rail spur to Marshall.
The completion of the path at the east end of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad bridge mirrors the dead end of the West Bank trail at Ole Olson Park, former site of the Riverview Supper Club. But park officials report little progress to date on the long-held hope of crossing the river on or adjacent to that privately owned bridge.
The project faces a federal deadline of next Sept. 1 to be ready for bidding, or it loses the money.
(Photo above: The East Bank trail extension would run from Boom Island just beyond the Plymouth Avenue Bridge (middle of photo) upriver under the Broadway Avenue Bridge to the Burlington Northern rail bridge (foreground))
The good news is that the they got five bids. But the bad news is that Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board staff had to reject all of them recently because they were far over the estimated cost and budget.
So you can add Triangle Park play area near the southwest corner of Lake Nokomis to the list of metro-area park projects delayed by the overheated construction market in the Twin Cities area. The lowest bid came in 39 percent over the $414,000 estimated cost of the work, according to Adam Arvidson, project manager.
It's just the latest casualty of the torrid construction market that has wreaked havoc with a variety of civic projects ranging from parks to streets, as detailed in a recent Star Tribune article.
The difficulty in attracting favorable bids has been attributed to several large construction projects such as the new Vikings and Saints stadia and the mall of American expansion, a crush of projects deferred from the recession, a shortage of construction workers, and a shortage of cement.
Park officials hope to rebid the project in January, when more workers are idle and contractors are lining up work for the 2015 season. The work involves replacing substandard playground equipment for tots. The Metro Council-funded project is the first wave in a larger renovation of Nokomis-Hiawatha Regional Park planned over the next two and one-half years.
But it's far from the only parks project affected by the poor bidding situation. Some work has been pushed back for another round of bidding, while other projects have been pared in scope, according to Cliff Swenson, a manager of design for park projects.
Swenson offered other examples. Park officials a few months ago pulled back from bidding a project for trail work on Ridgeway Parkway based on contacts with bidders. Trail work at Bryn Mawr Meadows came in high all three times it was bid, so the scope of work was trimmed. Knowing the bidding climate, park officials trimmed the scope of the work for renovating W. River Parkway trails based on priorities set by an advisory committee.
Swenson said that constractors may shy away because of the Park Board's participation in civil rights efforts that set goals for using women-owned and minority-owned subcontractors and hiring minority workers.
Swenson said the Park Board is trying to sharpen competition among contractors by contacting them to encourage them to bid, especially if it's work the contractor has handled before.
"We really have to do a good job of selling a project," he said.

"My family enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is lovely and worked well for our family. In fact this is the second time we stayed there. My only complaint is we cleaned the house meticulously and were very shocked that our full deposit was not returned. We even washed all the linen and bathroom rugs. This is the only time in our ten years of renting homes that we did not get our full deposit back. The owner said she did not check the property after our stay but relied on the cleaning service to check. I would not stay there again because I feel I couldn't trust them again. Other than that I thought the property was very nice. We were not treated fairly. The homeowner said she would deal with this issue after she got back from a two week trip but she never called us. We called again but she never returned our call. Granny"Guest: Granny Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: October 19, 2014View listing

"My husband and I walked in and the first thing we saw was the view of Cape Cod through the wall of windows. Absolutely spectacular view. We were able to watch the tides come in and out and had great weather the first couple days. Even though it rained a couple of days it was still very relaxing. We found a great seafood restaurant down the road and a nice market to buy fresh fish. I do not have one complaint about this place.

"WOW - this beautiful home was absolutely perfect for our stay in the Boston area. I, my wife and two teenage kids had a great time visiting the many historical sites in the region and this home was in the perfect location for that. Staying here and using the ferry to get across the harbor to Boston was ideal. Getting back to the house with no worries of traffic was even better. With the beach just a few steps from the house you're on the beach with time to relax and enjoy the stay. Hull is a unique location that allows you to stay in a peaceful, relaxing home on the beach and this was the best of the best! I've rented many homes over the years, stateside and abroad, thru VRBO and have never found a better place.

Lawyers giving back a recurring theme in 2013
Send this to a friend
- Matt Chandler
- Editor for The Buffalo Law Journal- Buffalo Business First
(Page 6 of 10)
Law Journal editor Matt Chandler interviewed Jill Wells, whose husband, Toys R Us manager Larry Wells, was murdered in the Hamburg store June 29. Three months after the crime, Jill and Michelle Rizzo, Larry's cousin, said they wondered if his killer would ever be brought to justice.
Dignitaries were there as the new downtown federal courthouse was officially named the Robert H. Jackson United States Courthouse. Among those on hand for the ceremony was Jackson's granddaughter, Julia Craighill. "Naming this beautiful building after my grandfather is a wonderful tribute," she said.
In an effort to curb the number of deaths attributed to distracted driving, Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled a series of "text stops." The statewide campaign features signs for rest areas encouraging people to stop texting while driving and head to the text stops. Highway signs alert motorists that they will have a place to stop and text in two miles. Cuomo expressed hope the plan would make people think twice before texting while driving on the Thruway.
Despite a federal government shutdown, one local office kept right on working. U.S. Attorney William Hochul said although some staff members were sent home, he and many of his attorneys continued to work, without compensation, to keep legal matters moving forward.
"The staff that is here continues to handle these files, despite not being paid, because you have the life of a person at risk," he said, referring to criminal cases that were backlogged in his office.
Attorney LeRoi Johnson is a self-taught painter who had his first local showing in more than a decade. "Electric Primitive" debuted in October and was scheduled to run through Nov. 3 at 1120 Main St.

I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the building and service provided by Levade,
Great communications, clear instructions and quality building.
The fitters arrived bang on time, completed the build with no fuss or bother, Can`t wait to get the internals fitted out.
I would recommend you give them a call if you need any type of wooden structure for farm/garden/workshop.
many thanks.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Cruise to success with food trucks
Cruise to success with food trucks
Now that many restaurateurs are enhancing their operations by adding food trucks, they need to think outside the four walls of their restaurants.
Here are seven tips to help you gear up:
Select high-traffic locations
. "The pull-up-to-the curb segment is the hardest to crack," says Mary Sue Milliken, who operates two food trucks in addition to her restaurants in California and Nevada. She recommends street festivals and other high-visibility events where there is a captive audience.
Get to know the neighborhoods.
Food trucks offer a great opportunity to test different areas, says Rob Wilder, who runs the
Pepe food truck Washington, D.C., with partner Chef José Andrés. If one area isn't a hit, move on to another. If you find an especially receptive audience, consider opening a brick-and-mortar in that neighborhood.
Complement, don't compete with yourself.
Target locales and market segments that won't chip away at your existing business. Trucks/trailers can succeed near a sister restaurant. For example, Hoover Alexander chose a menu of smoky meats for his Texa-Mexi-Que trailer. They complement
Hoover's Cooking
, his full-service eatery across the street. With a lower-price point and a grab-and-go menu, the trailer appeals to a different segment, he says.

Cash in on
Pull-up-to-the curb street service is becoming "a bit saturated," in some markets, says Roaming Hunger founder Ross Resnick, whose company connects entrepreneurs with truck builders. Many vehicles focus on private events instead. Customers love that food trucks offer an easy way to entertain at home, and that trucks provide restaurant-quality food in remote locations, everywhere from vineyards to beaches. "You've got a professional kitchen wherever you need it," Wilder says.
Toot your own horn
Spread the word through
social media
Use Twitter and Facebook to update consumers on the whereabouts of your roving restaurant.
Cross promote.
Brand your truck with your company logo to help drive traffic to your brick-and-mortar, Milliken advises. She says the Border Grill trucks have brought countless new customers to her restaurants.
Now available on wheels.
Use your restaurant to promote your mobile unit, with a mention on your phone's hold recording, signage in the entrance and a link on your web site. As a marketing tool, the Pepe truck provides a great "return on investment," Wilder says. "We're getting our larger brand out in front of people at events like the Clinton Global Initiative," he says. "That's incredible publicity."
