I am setting up a small business, and this is easy to use and integrates with my site perfectly. I wanted the flexibility that Simplecaddy provides - i.e. I didn't want to be faffing about with a large e-commerce site.
Easy to use, and to customise.
2 thumbs up! Thank you so much :)

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- An authority promoting the development of wind power off Virginia's coast is scheduled to meet in Richmond.
The Virginia Offshore Wind Development Authority is meeting Thursday. The agenda includes a discussion of an agreement to protect the rare North Atlantic right whale, which migrates off the coast, and efforts to map the ocean floor where windmills would rise from the depths of the Atlantic.
Ten energy companies have expressed interest in developing wind in waters off Virginia Beach. Federal officials are expected to announce some milestone events within the coming months involving a vast area about 25 miles off the coast that has been designated for wind turbine development.

Confusion over Indian parliamentary rights-grab
Chaos in India's Parliament – the Lok Sabha - shortly before Christmas saw the passage, without debate, of a major new bill designed to sweep up a number of outstanding IT issues from cybercrime to online porn. At least, that's what we believe happened. Such was the level of confusion, that at least one well known IT news site …
so what's new...
a govt decides to criminalise it's people so it sounds like it's doing something useful that will gain valuable news-space, thus ignoring the people who put it in power in the first place.
so what's new? Since when did any govt give a shit about it's people? Next they'll pass a bill saying everyone has to pay them for absolutely nothing.. oh wait a minute...
So does that mean that - because cyber terror law isn't really defined - they could, say, snoop on any of the various companies who happen to have offshored to there, and thus peek at some valuable IP?
If I was a CIO offshoring there, I'd be nervous.
Aim for foot and pull trigger?
"making it an offence to publish material electronically "which contains sexually explicit acts". "
Does that mean that it's against the law to have pictures of certain carvings from temples?
Sounds familiar, must have had U.K. advisors.
Did I read that correctly?
India just outlawed porn? This is going to devastate their IT industry.
Another incompetant Government...
... passing laws without actually having any clue about the issues they're actually dealing with!
Hmm, maybe India could Outsource it's legislation to the UK!
I say?
>> targets those who publish or distribute "lascivious" material
>> likely to "deprave or corrupt" those who look at it
So no more musicals out of Bollywood then? Good riddance, I say.
How depraved?
Given Richard Gere nearly ended up doing a spell in Tihar for planting a tame peck on a bollywood clothes horse, one suspects "deprave or corrupt" and "lascivious" will be fairly broadly interpreted.

Thread: Skyrim and Steam!
11th November 2011, 07:23 AM #1
Skyrim and Steam!
I have a question I would like to ask before I decided to buy Skyrim off steam or at retail.
Since Skyrim is a "Steam" only game, does that mean that once I buy the disc from retail, I have to download it from steam all over again or does it mean that I can install the game but it has to be played through steam?
I don't want to go to my local game stop only to find out that it simply just give me a purchase code in which I have to spent the next 8 hours or so downloading it from steam then installing it.
I just want to make sure or ask this question for those who have it, that when I buy the retail disc, all I need is to install it is that correct?
Also does this mean that I can play using the disc and play without using the disc since it a steam game?
I hope this make sense.

Re: Skyrim and Steam!
When you run the installer, it brings up a Steam window. You type in the key to attach the game to your account, then it will install off the disc. When it's finished, Steam will download any needed updates, and you play it just like you would any other Steam game. No need to use the disc for anything other than installing. If you happen to lose or damage the disc, you can simply download the full game from Steam at any time.
Personally, this is how I think all games sold at retail need to be.MacBook Pro 15 (Late 2011)

About Me
I am a fourth year PhD student in Computer Science at University of Maryland, College Park. I am also a member of Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) and Computer Vision Laboratory. I am working in the area of computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning with Prof. Larry Davis as my advisor. I recieved MS in computer science from University of Maryland, College Park in May 2013. During my PhD I interned at Adobe Research, San Jose where I worked with Dr. Scott Cohen and Dr. Brian Price. During fall 2013 I visited TTI Chicago as an intern where I worked with Prof. Greg Shakhnarovich and Dr. Subhransu Maji. I received B.Tech.(honors) in computer science from IIIT-Hyderabad. I got my honors from Center for Visual Information Technology under the supervision of Prof. P.J.Narayanan. Before coming to Maryland I spent 3 months at INRIA-Grenoble as an intern with Dr. Frédéric Devernay.
Current Objective
Right now I am seeking internship positions in the field of computer vision to apply and enhance my research and technical skills.
Projects and Publications
Part Filters for Object Detection
This work was done during fall 2013 internship at TTI Chicago with Prof. Greg Shakhnarovich and Dr. Subhransu Maji. Details to be declared soon.Accepted at ECCV 2014. (Oral)
Semantic Object Selection
This work was done during summer 2013 internship at Adobe Research, San Jose with Dr. Scott Cohen and Dr. Brian Price.Accepted at CVPR 2014.
Interactive object segmentation has great practical importance in computer vision. Many interactive methods have been proposed utilizing user input in the form of mouse clicks and mouse strokes, and often requiring a lot of user intervention. In this paper, we present a system with a far simpler input method: the user needs only give the name of the desired object. With the tag provided by the user we query a text image database to gather exemplars of the object. Using object proposals and borrowing ideas from image retrieval and object detection, the object is localized in the image. An appearance model generated from the exemplars and the location prior are used in an energy minimization framework to select the object. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art on existing datasets and on a more challenging dataset we collected.
Object Detection
I have developed object detection pipeline based on partial least squares which a class aware dimensionality reduction technique.Accepted at WACV 2014: IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision.
We have also proposed another linear dimensionality reduction method, Composite Discriminant Factor (CDF) analysis, which searches for a discriminative but compact feature subspace that can be used as input to classifiers that suffer from problems such as multi-collinearity or the curse of dimensionality. The subspace selected by CDF maximizes the performance of the entire classification pipeline, and is chosen from a set of candidate subspaces that are each discriminative. Our method is based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis, and can be viewed as a generalization of the PLS1 algorithm, designed to increase discrimination in classification tasks. We demonstrate our approach on the UCF50 action recognition dataset, two object detection datasets (INRIA pedestrians and vehicles from aerial imagery), and machine learning datasets from the UCI Machine Learning repository. Experimental results show that the proposed approach improves significantly in terms of accuracy over linear SVM, and also over PLS in terms of compactness and efficiency, while maintaining or improving accuracy.
Real Time Object Tracking
We track multiple objects in videos by first selecting the appropriate feature which discriminates object from background and then applying iterative algorithm to track the objects in subsequent frames. The whole process is done in parallel on GPU(CUDA) which gives us increase in performance (68 fps for 320 X 240 video as compared to 11 fps when done on CPU).Prakhar Jain, Ejaz Ahmed, Dasari Pavan Kumar, "Tracking for Entertainment and Interaction" at ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games 2009 (I3D), Boston.
Batch Cut This work attempts to address the problem of object-segmentation from a collection of images.By combining existing image segmentation approaches with simple learning techniques, we attempt to minimize user's involvement in segmentation of images in a group of images. We propose a supervized learning paradigm in which user trains only on a small number of representative images. Based on this training appropiate features are selected and models representing the classes are built. For a new image (image from the batch) energy corresponding to every pixel is calculated and an undirected weighted graph is constructed using these enrgies. These energies are optimized using graph cut.
KinSeg This paper presents an interactive segmentation framework that incorporates both color and depth information of a scene obtained by a Kinect camera. This interactive framework allows users to specify foreground objects and background simply sketching with a brush. These user sketches are then treated as hard constraints. In addition, region and boundary information are used as soft constraints. Based on these constraints, we formulate the segmentation task as an energy minimisation problem. The energy function consists of both the color and depth information of the scene. We use scene knowledge to automatically determine the relative contribution of the depth and color terms to the energy function. Finally, a globally optimal segmentation is obtained by solving this problem using Graph Cuts.
Fast GrabCut Problem of segmentation is computationally intensive and with the increasing resolutions of camera the normal CPU algorithms are turning out to be slow. We present a fast GPU(CUDA) based segmentation method. This method segments the object by first modelling the object foreground and background using Gaussian Mixture Models and then iteratively minimizes the energy using iterative GraphCuts. Both these steps are done by exploiting the computational power of GPU.
Real Time 3D Video Segmentation
In this work the object to be segmented is marked manually in the initial frame of the video. We track the object in subsequent frames. Using this tracking the object and background GMM models are created. Few frames are clubbed together and 3D GraphCuts is applied on them to segment the object. Such 3D GraphCuts ensure coherency and continuity of segmented object across frames. Since this task is computationally intensive and also parallelizable, we are doing this using CUDA GPU.Ejaz Ahmed, Prakhar Jain, P.J. Narayanan, "Real Time Object Segmentation from Videos" at Indian Conference for Academic Research by Undergraduate Students 2010 (ICARUS), Kanpur.
GPU Stereo
In this project various stereo algorithm were studied and implemented. Primary focus was given to coarse-to-fine stereo algorithm and its adaptive variants. This project was done as an intern at INRIA Grenoble, France in the summer of 2010. Internship involved understanding of algorithms and their implementation on GPU/CUDA.
Fitting Surfaces on 3 D models using MLS (moving least square) on GPU
The project involves providing a definition of a smooth manifold surface from a set of points close to the original surface. This is done by locally approximating the surface with polynomials using moving least squares (MLS). For fitting curves on these points, k- nearest neighbors are calculated for each point. Then for each point normal is calculated using eigen-values and eigenvectors and finally curve is fitted. Since 3 D model are made up of large number of points (order of Millions), the whole process becomes computationally expensive and highly parallelizable. Thus we exploit the computing ability of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) using NVIDIA.s CUDA to speed up the process.
Fast Gist
In this project we have parallelized the GIST feature exploiting the computation power of the GPU with the help of Nvidia.s CUDA.

This study assessed midterm results of emergency endovascular stent-grafting for patients with life-threatening complications of acute type B aortic dissection.Between November 1996 and June 2004, 16 patients with complicated acute type B aortic dissections (mean age 57 years, range 16-88 years) underwent endovascular stent-grafting within 48 hours of presentation. Complications included contained rupture, hemothorax, refractory chest pain, and severe visceral or lower limb ischemia. Stent-graft types included custom-made first-generation endografts and second-generation commercial stent-grafts (Gore Excluder or TAG; W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc, Flagstaff, Ariz.). Follow-up was 100% complete, averaged 36 +/- 36 months, and included postprocedural surveillance computed tomographic scans.Early mortality was 25% +/- 11% (70% confidence limit), with no late deaths. No new neurologic complications occurred. According to the latest scan, 4 patients (25%) had complete thrombosis of the false lumen; the lumen was partially thrombosed in 6 patients (38%). Distal aortic diameter was increased in only 1 patient. Actuarial survival at 1 and 5 years was 73% +/- 11%; freedom from treatment failure (including aortic rupture, device fault, reintervention, aortic death, or sudden, unexplained late death) was 67% +/- 14% at 5 years.With follow-up to 9 years, endovascular stent-grafting for patients with complicated acute type B aortic dissection conferred benefit. Consideration of emergency stent-grafting may improve the dismal outlook for these patients; future refinements in stent-graft design and technology and earlier diagnosis and intervention should be associated with improved results.

Texas Proposition 1 (2007)

4 • 5 • 6 • 7 • 8 • 9 • 10 • 11 • 12 • 13 • 14 • 15 • 16 • 17
Proposition 1 proposed an amendment to provide for the constitutional appropriation for facilities and other capital items at Angelo State University or a change in the governance of the university.
Proposition 1 appeared on the statewide November 2007 ballot in Texas along with fifteen other statewide propositions; all of them passed.
Election results
|Texas Proposition 1 (2007)
This proposal would transfer the Angelo State University form under Texas State University System to the Texas Tech University.
Statement of Support
Transferring ASU to the Texas Tech system will expand educational opportunities with a university system that shares ASU's regional and philosophical interests.
Statement of Opposition
Transferring ASU out the Texas State University System would remove them from a expanded and enhanced facility and low tuition rates. Moving ASU to the Texas Tech System will cost nearly three times what ASU students are currently paying. ASU is important to the "Closing the Gaps" mission of promoting student affordability.
Text of measure
The short ballot summary voters saw on their ballot read: "The constitutional amendment providing for the continuation of the constitutional appropriation for facilities and other capital items at Angelo State University on a change in the governance of the university."[1]
Path to the ballot
- See also: Laws governing direct democracy in Texas
As laid out in Article 17 of the Texas Constitution, in order for a proposed constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot, the Texas State Legislature must propose the amendment in a joint resolution of both the Texas State Senate and the Texas House of Representatives. The joint resolution can originate in either the House or the Senate. The resolution must be adopted by a vote of at least two-thirds of the membership of each house of the legislature. That amounts to a minimum of 100 votes in the House of Representatives and 21 votes in the Senate.

So Ranger School was where I became introduced to the amazing Dessert-flavored chewing gum, mainly the Lemonsquare and Mint Chocolate Chip flavors. I initially reported to Ranger School with nothing but Bubblelicious gum, since that brand had the most calories per piece and would take up more space in my stomach after I swallowed it. Rookie mistake on my part, as I quickly learned that the whole point of chewing gum in Ranger school was not to stay awake. Its sole purpose was to provide a brief and momentary glimpse of happiness into what was otherwise a truly miserable existence. Unfortunately I did not get to experience this so-called "happiness" until Mountain phase, when a Ranger buddy who felt bad for me loaned me one stick of his Dessert gum. I was instantly hooked.
Thankfully I was in the Christmas exodus class, because I returned from holiday leave for Florida phase with my 70 allotted pieces of nothing but Lemonsquare and Mint Chocolate Chip chewing gum. I even took a 5-day vow of chewing-gum abstinence at the start of the phase so that I would have all 70 pieces available for the 10-day field exercise. That's some serious dedication.
Anyways, eventually I caved from the wet, sandy, swampy, cold, sleepless misery of the field(so basically on the first day) and enjoyed that gum like it was my only remaining connection with the outside world. And now we are at the whole reason for me writing this…
Prior to the swamps of Florida, I had never had the Mint Chocolate Chip chewing gum. The first piece I had was amazing, and even better was the fact that it had little crunchy parts to it…so every time I had some of it I was always thinking "I can't believe they found a way to put miniature chocolate chips in this gum!". I was so impressed with it that I saved that flavor only for during the 3 long walks we did(long walk = 6 to 12 mile forced ruck march from your objective to your patrol base, and this is after you've already been walking all day for your mission. Usually half the guys were sleep-walking and droning hardcore). No matter how much my legs and back were killing me during those walks, I could enjoy that fantastic gum with real chocolate chips. I am pretty sure I survived only because of that.
Flash forward to present-day in Afghanistan….
My wife and parents were kind enough to mail me about 10 packages of the Mint Chocolate Chip gum. It was only after chewing my first piece of it here that I made a dreadful discovery….there are no mini chocolate chips in it. In fact, there is nothing remotely crunchy in it. It was only then that I remembered that on the 3rd day of Florida phase(before going to the field), my rucksack had been completely submerged in a swamp and then dragged through the sand. All of my gum had been in the ruck and apparently not as waterproofed as I thought I had made it. My beloved mini chocolate chips in my gum had actually just been sand. Filthy swamp sand that tens of thousands of other Ranger students had previously walked through.
The moral of this long-winded story? Chewing sandy gum is what got me through the last phase of Ranger School. That doesn't sound very manly at all, but it works for me.

Maguire - An LBMA Default Was Delayed, But It's Coming
Today London metals trader Andrew Maguire told King World News that an LBMA default was delayed by Western central planners, but it is coming, despite the West's frantic efforts to avoid it. Below is what Maguire had to say in Part I of an incredibly powerful series of interviews that will be released today.
Maguire: "The net result of all of this (gold) leasing activity means that the bullion which is still showing on the central banks' books as an asset has more than one claim on it. Worse, the bullion banks don't have the gold to repay them....
Continue reading the Andrew Maguire interview below...
To hear which company investors and institutions around the globe are flocking to
that has one of the best gold & silver purchase & storage platforms
in the world click on the logo:
"And as they've sold this bullion into the market, and it's now vaulted outside of the closed loop of the LBMA system, never to return, this is a real problem.
Now this activity over the years has created a major mismatch. This has placed these LBMA bullion banks in jeopardy, particularly now that it's clear they are not getting this touted and relied upon dip into the $1,000 range that they keep trying to talk into existence. The level of rigged discount would be the minimum amount needed to even partially bail them out of this ever-growing position mismatch.
It's now inevitable that there will be an LBMA bullion bank default -- it's just been delayed. And as I've noted now for over 18 months, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is no longer providing any real bullion to the bullion banks. They are just issuing them credit by way of a book entry to sell bullion bank 'owned' gold, unallocated gold, on the spot market. And when deliveries are demanded, they are actually forced to borrow gold from their own unallocated inventories.
And courtesy of a lack of regulatory oversight, they are able to rehypothecate bullion from their clients allocated accounts. Even in the unlikely event that gold were driven to the bullion banks' target of $1,050, the resulting discount would only cause China, Russia, India, and all of these other countries to take all (of the physical gold) that was offered, allowing very little bullion to be repaid. So that would be a lose/lose situation.
They (the bullion banks) are not going to allow what happened last year, when a Fed sanctioned raid resulted in a mass exodus of bullion to China. Either way, discount or not, we are approaching a forced LBMA cash settlement (which they will try to call a 'non-default').
Western central banks are increasingly being forced to compete against each other to look after their own interests now. It's become apparent that the BIS and the Fed don't have the gold they claim to have, despite the paper claims to gold being shown as a physical asset (on their books). This very act neuters the Fed's ability to control the gold leasing.
In short, the bullion banks will be forced to mark paper gold positions to market, creating a (massive) gap up in the gold price as true supply/demand fundamentals are finally realized."

November 27, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - From New York to California, demonstrators are rallying against a Florida verdict acquitting George Zimmerman in the death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.
In Manhattan on Sunday, Rev. Jacqueline Lewis of Middle Collegiate Church wore a pink hooded sweatshirt and told her congregation, "We're going to raise our voices against the root causes of this kind of tragedy."
Protests are planned around the country Sunday, a day after a jury found the former neighborhood watch volunteer not guilty. The case unleashed debate across the U.S. over racial profiling, self-defense and equal justice.
After the verdict, some angry protesters in Oakland, Calif., broke windows, burned flags and started small street fires. In Florida, about 200 demonstrators marched in Tallahassee carrying signs that said "Racism is Not Dead" and "Who's Next?"

Obama's health secretary to resign
Thursday, April 10, 2014
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is to resign, paying the price for the chaotic initial rollout of his signature health care law, officials said on Thursday.
Obama will nominate Sylvia Mathews Burwell, his current budget director, who has a reputation as an accomplished manager, to replace Sebelius on Friday, the officials said.
The administration will hope that the departure of Sebelius will draw a symbolic line under the early implementation period of the law, which had a botched debut due to a malfunctioning sign-up website and other teething problems.
The administration was forced into an emergency effort to fix the site and succeeded to such an extent that 7.5 million people have now signed up for health insurance under the new law -- a figure that defied expectations.
Obama and top aides spent last week declaring victory over skeptics who argued that the law -- the most sweeping US social reform in decades -- would never work or that Americans would refuse to sign up.
But the stuttering debut of so-called Obamacare provided fresh ammunition to Republicans who are using the law's unpopularity to blast vulnerable Democrats ahead of November's mid-term elections.
Obama will look to Burwell, if she is confirmed, to smooth out remaining glitches with the law before the next registration period opens in November.
"The president wants to make sure we have a proven manager and relentless implementer in the job over there, which is why he is going to nominate Sylvia," White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough told The New York Times.
The White House apparently decided that the end of the sign-up period on March 31 marked an appropriate time for Sebelius, who has been in the job for five years, to move aside.
"(Sebelius) thought that it was time to transition the leadership to somebody else," McDonough told the Times.
"She does hope -- all of us hope -- that we can get beyond the partisan sniping."
But Republicans quickly moved to exploit the resignation, previewing what could be a fiery Senate confirmation process for Burwell.
"I thank Secretary Sebelius for her service. She had an impossible task: nobody can make Obamacare work," said House Republican majority leader Eric Cantor on Twitter.
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said Obama could name a new Health Secretary but could not fix endemic problems with his health care law.
"The next HHS Secretary will inherit a mess -- Americans facing rising costs, families losing their doctors, and an economy weighed down by intrusive regulations," he said.
"No matter who is in charge of HHS, Obamacare will continue to be a disaster and will continue to hurt hardworking Americans."
Republicans argue that Obamacare forced Americans to ditch existing health plans, will hike the cost of insurance and will hamper small businesses and hurt job creation.
Obama countered earlier this month that the Obamacare law was working, despite early problems, and that it would bed down and remain a part of American life.
He seemed to have the struggle to implement the law in mind on Thursday when he paid tribute to former president Lyndon Johnson, who passed the Civil Rights Act 50 years ago, and argued that the presidency should be used to promote change and equality.
"What president Johnson understood was that equality required more than the absence of oppression -- it required the presence of economic opportunity," Obama said in Texas.
"A decent job, decent wages, health care -- those too were civil rights worth fighting for."

November 28, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) - A person familiar with the situation says former Super Bowl MVP receiver Santonio Holmes has agreed to a contract with the Chicago Bears.
The person spoke Saturday on the condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.
The Bears are looking for a third receiver behind stars Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. Marquess Wilson was battling for that job when he broke his collarbone last week.
A first-round draft pick by Pittsburgh in 2006, Holmes was the Super Bowl MVP in his third year. He had his best season statistically the following year in 2009 with 79 catches for 1,248 yards and five touchdowns. But he was traded to the New York Jets the following offseason.

Comments about Eagle Creek 2-in-1 Tote/Backpack:
I purchased this product because of the expansion capabilities for travel. I recently took this to Europe with me.I found the snaps frustrating and annoying as I tried to use it as a bag. It works better as a back pack. I am sorry I bought this bag. I could have spent my money on a better product
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Straps over engineered, under thought
By Jen, Globe Trotter
from Austin, TX
About Me Comfort-Oriented, Practical
Converted easily from day bag to backpack and is very light weight.Once converted, however, difficult to find stuff--no compartment dividers, snaps don't hold--had to secure with large safety pins, and the straps are ridiculous-- the bottom plastic loop is unnecessary and complicates the strap so you cannot put it back through the buckle to secure the length. You have to thread it over, under, over, under--too complex when you want quick. Had to cut it off.I would only recommend with these comments.

Years of Great Organization!
By Boston Traveler
from Boston, MA
About Me Retired
We have had Eagle Creek products for many years. We are going to Europe and saw that items were now being made in various sizes and of a terrifically lightweight material. We have now used the new items for several trips and are delighted. While they contain our clothing and keep shirts, blouses, and sweaters neatly folded, they easily pack in our luggage, making the packing and unpacking a breeze. They add no weight so more can be packed! We are so glad that Eagle Creek has expanded its line of products.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

not as fabulous as expected
By Shelley EY
from New York
About Me Practical
As extra very lightweight bag to use once arriving on my vacation to use as backpack but also more normal looking tote, it did not like up to expectations. The snaps to hold tote strap in place kept opening and making it hard to use in that state. The idea of it was great but it's functionability of construction may need some improvement by your designers.Also, it'd be great if you had a video of this on the site as you do with other products to demonstrate, It comes open as tote and the folded into pouch is very difficult to figure out.

Decrepit Purple Hotel in Lincolnwood overstays its welcome
DAVID ROEDER email@example.com August 16, 2011 6:16PM
David Roeder reports on real estate at 6:22 p.m. Thursdays on Newsradio 780 and 105.9 FM WBBM. The reports are repeated at 10:22 p.m. Thursday and 7:22 a.m. Sunday.
Updated: November 16, 2011 1:29AM
It's mid-August and the former Purple Hotel, 4500 W. Touhy in Lincolnwood, is still standing. That's noteworthy because as of Aug. 1, the village of Lincolnwood has had the legal right to tear it down and put a lien on the property for its trouble.
The Purple Hotel started out life in the 1960s as a Hyatt, a classy place to stay and to hear performers such as Perry Como or Roberta Flack.
It slid down the demographic scale until it went independent, being unable or unwilling to meet the standards of any hotel franchise, and became known for hosting sex clubs. It closed in 2007.
The place has so many code violations that in February the village got the legal right to raze it unless owner Donald Bae made repairs. None has occurred, said village Administrator Timothy Wiberg, so the town is preparing specifications for demolition bids.
But that's probably not Bae's biggest concern. His lender, First Midwest Bank, wants to foreclose on him and is trying to sell the unpaid mortgage note. The buyer then could be in position to take control of the site, which Lincolnwood officials want redeveloped.
Podolsky Northstar Corfac International is the agent for the note sale. Senior Vice President Adam Tarantur said he hopes a winning bidder will be selected by the end of the month. He said Bae owes $4.6 million, counting penalties.
Bae is a Korean business leader whose conduct in this matter has been strange. He has listed the property for sale with a $25.8 million price, a figure that real estate experts say is so high that it deters serious inquiries. Rather than sell it for whatever he can get, Bae now risks losing the property altogether. He could not be reached for comment.
Wiberg said he's been told tearing down the 293-room hotel may cost about $1 million.
He noted that the village has created a tax-increment financing district that includes the property, so it has a funding source to pursue its vision of a pedestrian-friendly "town center" anchored by stores and new multifamily residences.
All of that may take years to come together. But for Bae and his hotel, named for the color of its bricks, the clock says it's check-out time.
COOKIE JAR: The Maurice Lenell Cooky Co. factory and store at 4474 N. Harlem in Norridge closed in late 2008, and the real estate slump has deterred any redevelopment. But a firm based in Columbus, Ohio, Glimcher Realty Trust, has expressed interest in the site, said Norridge President Ronald Oppedisano.
Glimcher executives did not return calls. The Lenell site is owned by a Connecticut investment manager, Commonfund, that paid $11.5 million for it in 2008.
Oppedisano said he has seen no specific plans from Glimcher. One retail broker said Glimcher wants to assemble several parcels and is aiming, perhaps grandly, to sign Macy's or Von Maur as anchors.
SOUTH SIDE PROJECT: Mayor Rahm Emanuel is backing the sale of 2.65 vacant acres at 9705 S. Cottage Grove so the Social Security Administration can get a new $4.8 million building.
The city would sell its land to an entity controlled by Lake Forest developer William Schorsch, who specializes in federal government deals, for $465,000. The developer can use the price to offset the cost of environmental remediation.
The Social Security Administration would sign a 10-year lease and move about 35 workers to the new location.
CALENDAR NOTES: It's still August, but three events scheduled for when the days will feel shorter beckon anyone with an interest in real estate:
NAIOP Chicago hosts a high-powered panel Sept. 20 to discuss the "real story" of the Chicago office market. The event includes breakfast and will be held at Riverway Auditorium, 6133 N. River Road in Rosemont. Sign up at naiopchicago.org.
The investment outlook for suburban property is the topic at a Sept. 22 breakfast called "Defending the 'Burbs." I guess someone has to. It's planned at the Union League Club of Chicago and the sponsor is the Chicago chapter of the Urban Land Institute. See Chicago.uli.org.
And the Chicago Association of Realtors will induct commercial property legends G. Joseph Cosenza and Goldie Wolfe Miller into its hall of fame Oct. 5 at Navy Pier. See Chicagorealtor.com.
DOING THE DEALS: Southern Prosthetic Supplies Inc. leased 44,600 square feet for a new Midwestern distribution center at 386 Internationale Drive, Bolingbrook. UGL Ltd. was its broker. . . . Principle Construction Corp. broke ground on a 267,000-square-foot building for Winpak Portion Packaging Inc. at Mark Collins Drive and LogistiCenter Drive in Sauk Village.
