A Spanish court has cleared four men of crimes related to the 2004 Madrid train bombings, which left 191 people dead and injured more than 1,800.
The four were among 21 people jailed in October last year for involvement in the attacks.
The supreme court also upheld the acquittal of Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, who during the 2007 court case was accused of being one of the instigators behind the bombings.
The court rejected an appeal from prosecutors to reconsider Ahmed's acquittal, partly because he had already been sentenced to eight years in prison in Italy and could not be condemned again for the same crime.
Prosecutors had argued unsuccessfully that Ahmed was appealing hisItalian sentence, leaving the door open for his trial in Madrid.
In Spain, both prosecutors and defendants can appeal lower court decisions.
Earlier convictions
On October 31 last year, a Spanish court found 21 people guilty of involvement in the attack but cleared three men of masterminding it and acquitted seven others.
Many victims were shocked by the sentences, which in many cases were much lower than the state attorney had requested, and expressed anger at the acquittals.
Three men, two Moroccans and a Spaniard who provided the bombers with explosives, were handed down sentences which may keep them in prison for 40 years, the maximum in Spanish law.
Ten backpack bombs ripped through four packed trains carrying early-morning commuters in the Spanish capital on March 11, 2004.
A two-year Spanish investigation concluded that the killings had been carried out by Spanish-born men, inspired by al-Qaeda's call to arms but with no direct link to the group.
Acquittal reversed
Among the other six men acquitted in October 2007 were Basel Ghalyoun, Mouhannad Almallah Dabas, Abdelilah el Fadual el Akil and Raul Gonzalez, who had all been convicted of lesser charges and sentenced from five to 12 years.
On Thursday, the court slightly reduced the sentences of several others, and reversed the acquittal of Antonio Toro.
The judges convicted him of exchanging explosives used in the attack for drugs and money, and sentenced him to four years.
Another convicted man, Othman el Gnaoui, was cleared of the lesser charge of falsification, but will remain in jail to face further charges.
Jesus Ramirez, a survivor of the attacks who until recently was vice president of a victims' association, said that he accepted the judges' decision, even if he did not agree with it.
"Even though we may oppose it in our hearts, they have more informationand have weighed the evidence and made a decision," he said.

Innovative solutions for aviation maintenance!
The Novulo software components offer a wide variety of innovative solutions for various problems encountered in aviation maintenance, including:
The long-range maintenance schedule determines which aircraft will visit the hangar for a specific maintenance check and how long it will take to perform all inspections and repairs. The application visualises both the hangar, as well as the aircraft availability. This schedule plays a central role at every airline and in every maintenance facility. Novulo offers a graphical drag & drop interface to allow for scheduling aircraft and reviewing effects (due dates, capacity) in real-time. Results show that utilization of maintenance limits can be increased by up to 10% by making more efficient schedules.
Allocating capacity to the right project is a major concern in every MRO facility. Novulo software supports the process of allocating the right certified engineers and mechanics to the project in your maintenance facility. State of the art algorithms allow for an optimal allocation of technical employees to projects, while complying with Part 145 and Part 66-regulations.
Novulo supports the process of creating, managing and analyzing job cards. Functionality includes: generation of job cards for each similar maintenance check, to make individual changes for specific registrations, to include the licenses required to perform work on specific job cards and to manage the hours written by mechanics and engineers while executing inspections and reparations. Comprehensive reports provide real-time insight in the progress of the current maintenance checks - both inside your facilities as well as outsourced activities.
Novulo provides integrated material and supply chain management. By performing track & trace on all material requests and linking it with job card requirements, you receive an instant overview of the status of materials and the risk of maintenance execution delays. It also helps to reduce the amount of unnecessary (expensive) AOG orders and allows for a better cooperation between material units and mechanics.
Preparing a C- or D-check is a project by itself and a good preparation is key for an on-time redelivery of the aircraft. Novulo provides real-time data about the preparation of maintenance checks and the possible delays.
In a 24 hour work environment, your maintenance teams will need to make a handover at every shift change. Novulo Shift Handovers allow for a seamless handover process. The software is configurable to define the various handovers: it is possible to write both a Cat C-handover, as well as specific handovers for Mechanical and Avionic subjects. You can even define different templates for different types of productions, i.e. write a different handover for a decoration facility compared to a D-check facility. Using structured en archived handovers enable for project analysis and real-time insight in the progress of maintenance checks.
Novulo MRO and production components integrate fully with our components for finance, sales and invoicing. Linking used materials and written hours to your financial system enables you to send invoices to your customers quickly, based on the same data as used in your production process. It reduces administrative costs, speeds up the invoicing process and reduces the amount of non-invoiced work.
Novulo Budgetting integrates perfectly with the production and aviation-related components. It allows you to define your budgetted costs and income for your financial year, and to automatically compare it to realized financial results.

Classic Yankees: Joe "Flash" Gordon
You wouldn't think someone who hit .406 one year and who won two Triple Crowns would have NO MVP awards to show for those three years, but that is exactly what happened to Ted Williams. The "Splendid Splinter" did win the MVP award in 1946 and 1949, but he lost to DiMaggio and the streak ...

He was overshadowed by the likes of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey and Joe DiMaggio and it took him far too long to make it to the Hall of Fame even after he died far too young at the age of 42 from a fall. Tony Lazzeri also was one of the best hitting second ...

Known as a "hired gun" he had a 20-3 record one season, won a Cy Young, helped Canada win a World Series title, and helped another franchise to its first World Series title in 18 years. He also pitched a perfect game and now works as a broadcaster. David Cone started his career in 1986 for ...

In baseball seasons' past, and especially before the advent of the wild card, teams would win 100 games and not make the postseason. See the 1942 Dodgers (104-50), 1954 Yankees (103-51), 1961 Tigers (101-61) or 1993 Giants (103-59). It's tough to take. Even when the Yanks made the postseason in 1980 or 2002 for instance, ...

I got a call today from someone who was planning a coral theme bridal shower and just couldn't find any paper products (napkins, paper plates, etc.) that matched. I did a little hunting online to see what I could find, and I figured this might help someone else who is planning, too...so here are some resources I found. (P.S. We've just updated these designs as of 3/15/13.)
Coral trellis cocktail napkins (see left) Cocktail napkins are 10" x 10" open. This design also is available in Luncheon napkins (13" square) and paper guest towels (13" x 16").
Chevron coral paper plates (see at right). I really dig these square paper plates in this most trendy pattern, available in guest towels, luncheon napkins, place cards, and cocktail napkins in this same design and color (if you click the link above, you'll see the links to these other products just below the main product).
If you're planning a coral shower that literally has shells and coral, these coral sea fans plates and napkins (see left) might work well for you. They have 10" square cocktail napkins, 13" square luncheon napkins, and 16" dinner napkins. This design is also available in paper guest towels, 7.25" plates and 10.25" plates.
Thinking florals? Here are Daisies Elegance napkins, guest towels, and paper plates in assorted sizes. (See design at right)
If you're looking for just plain-ol' coral plates and table covers, here's the place.
And of course, if you're looking for coral bridal shower favors, we'd love to help you! Check out our coral wedding theme page, order your favors here, or contact us directly to share your thoughts.

Chemistry of Mosquito Sex May Hold Key to Disease Control
Source of yellow fever, dengue targeted in search for insect 'birth control'
FRIDAY, March 18 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists who've uncovered the chemistry of mosquito sex say their research may reveal ways to control mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and dengue fever.
The Cornell University team found that more than 100 proteins in the male sperm of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes -- known to transmit yellow fever and dengue fever -- permanently alter female mosquitoes' tendencies to feed, produce eggs and mate.
The study is the first to identify male proteins that are transferred to females during mating. By isolating these proteins, it may be possible to develop a method of birth control for female mosquitoes, and potentially help control the spread of diseases such as dengue fever, yellow fever and West Nile virus, said the researchers.
Currently, there is no effective treatment for dengue fever, a sometimes deadly infection suffered by millions of people worldwide each year.
"This is an exciting new avenue for identifying ultimate targets to reduce mosquito vector populations. Ultimately, we plan to select the most promising candidate proteins as chemical targets or as a focus for the development of other methods for vector control," study co-author Laura Harrington, an associate professor of entomology, said in a Cornell news release.
The study was published online March 16 in the journal PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases.

Reared on wheat grass and organic barley, these birds are free to roam the land from the age of three weeks on. All that running, hunting, and pecking pays huge dividends in the meat, which is richly flavored, densely grained, and a far cry from the insipid wet cardboard flesh of factory fowl. Seasoned with salt and crushed pepper and simply roasted in a hot oven, this is poultry worthy of a celebration.

Real-Time Box Score: Facebook Acquires SportStream
Last month, SportStream CEO Bob Morgan spoke with AllFacebook about how the provider of real-time sports data planned to use the public feed application-programming interface and keyword insights API introduced by Facebook in September to incorporate its data into live broadcasts of sporting events. The two APIs are no longer the only Facebook resources available to SportStream, as the social network announced its acquisition of the company late Tuesday.
INFOGRAPHIC: Why Media Publishers' Social Engagement Is Exploding On Facebook
Facebook has introduced several new features in recent weeks aimed at aiding the media industry, including Stories to Share, and the public feed application-programming interface and keyword insights API, but the 1,500 or so online publishers tracked by NewsWhip's Spike content-discovery tool were already well on their way to a content explosion on the social network, with the top 20 publishers seeing a staggering increase in social interactions (likes, comments, shares) of 288 percent between September 2012 and September 2013.
Fox Sports Reaches Agreement With Facebook To Tap Into Data From Media-Centric APIs
Fox Sports became the latest media entity to reach an agreement to use the two media-centric application-programming interfaces the social network introduced earlier this month, as Facebook and Fox Sports announced a six-month partnership deal Sunday, as reported by Mashable.
Facebook Releases Two APIs That Allow News Organizations To Tap Into Its Real-Time Public Posts
Twitter has company in the real-time news-related social media arena, as Facebook Monday announced the rollout of two application-programming interfaces aimed at allowing news organizations to tap into its public posts in real-time: the public feed API, which displays a real-time feed of public posts for a specific word; and the keyword insights API, which tallies the total number of posts that mention a specific term during a specific time period, as well as enabling news organization to feature anonymous, aggregated results based on gender, age, and location.
Vine Vs. Video On Instagram: The Jockeying Starts Early, But Is There Room For Both?
Is there enough room for both Twitter-owned video-sharing application Vine and Video on Instagram, which was introduced at a press event Thursday at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.? Time will tell, but the jockeying for position began long before Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his counterpart at Instagram, Kevin Systrom, took the stage Thursday.
TV A Factor In Facebook's Hashtag Rollout
Following Facebook's introduction of clickable hashtags Wednesday, Justin Osofsky, the social network's director of platform partnerships and operations, focused on how hashtags will factor into discussions about television shows in a note on the Facebook + Media page.
Facebook Integration Finally Included In Netflix Envelope
Netflix users can finally link their accounts to their Facebook profiles following a long battle in Washington, D.C., which resulted in last December's overhaul of the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act, which had previously prevented video-rental companies from sharing users' viewing data.
Facebook Responds To Platform Controversy Around Apps Voxer, Wonder, Vine
In recent days, Facebook has been cutting off data access to applications that have been using it in ways that either compete with or replicate what the social network does — first with Voxer, then Wonder, and most recently Vine. Facebook Director of Platform Partnerships and Operations Justin Osofsky clarified his company's stance with regard to sharing data. In essence, apps that allow users to share data back to Facebook are OK, while those that do not violate the site's platform policy.

Hunter numbers rise, reversing a 25-year decline
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The number of licensed hunters taking to the field in Alabama has increased during the past five years, reflecting national growth in the sport.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has completed a national study on the outdoors and outdoor activities, and it shows a 9 percent growth nationwide in hunting license sales from 2007 to 2011. That reverses a 25-year slide.
In Alabama, the number of licensed hunters also has seen an increase, up from about 423,000 in 2001 and 391,000 in 2006 to 535,000 in 2011.
The Montgomery Advertiser reports (http://on.mgmadv.com/Y8vY8I ) that the increase in numbers might not give the full picture. The state changed its license structure a few years ago, selling a combination hunting and fishing license. Those sales are tallied as both hunting and fishing license sales.

Thx for this clairification, I'd add I engaged the fight with a shattering throw and take a 4000 strength pot, which isnt mentioned by the WoL.
The massive attack seem to do physical dmg, according to the WoL; so we could think the formulation is bugged for this kind of special attack and do a mix between magical and physical formulation like : unmitigateg dmg/3 like you say in the second point of your Option 1.
Dunno if its possible to solo absorb this attack in heroic mod, but it could be a very usefull help to not reach the enrage timer.
I hope I havent poluate your thread.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Another boring trading day in the stock market on Thursday. The S&P 500 Trust Series ETF (SPY) volume did not even trade 60 million shares. The volume came in at 56 million shares.
After being up for most of the day, the DJIA closed lower by 2.83 points at 17083.80 and the Standard & Poor's 500 was up 0.97 at 1987.98. The Nasdaq was lower by 1.59 points at 4472.11 and the Russell 2000 was down 1.85 at 1156.26. All in all, a nothing day.

Gold, which is up 7% for the year to date, had its fifth consecutive down day. On a down open Friday it will be in oversold territory within a "Trend Bullish" condition. So do not get to excited that Wall Street pundits are starting to become bearish on Gold. It is only a correction. Gold is within a day or two of a move higher.The Select Sector Utilities ETF (XLU) continues its bullish performance, up 12.5% YTD. Again, it continues to signal a growth slowing economy, along with the Barclays 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Fund (IEF), which is up 4.3% YTD. An interesting sector that has been bullish in 2014, the semiconductor sector, may be signaling something negative on the horizon. Broadcom (BRCM), Intel (INTC) and Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM) have not been able to hold their post earnings gains. MXIM is getting clobbered in after-hours trading Thursday. As we continue to navigate this stock market in the second half of 2014, traders must continue to be cautious. This volatile market is not for anyone who does not have a risk management process. The lack of liquidity will eventually become a major problem for the markets. At this moment in time, the hedge funds are comfortable with shorting at the lows and covering at the highs. That will change. My S&P 500 daily trading range on Thursday was Buy Trade-1962 and Sell Trade-1994. The S&P high for the day was 1991.39. So we are at the top end of the trading range. Traders should not buy up here. That's how the process works. Buy low and sell high. Read More: Pandora Will Be a Penny Stock Someday Soon as Spotify, iTunes Thrive On Thursday, we sold our long position in Arcos Dorados Holdings (ARCO) for nearly a 2% gain and covered our Microsoft (MSFT) short for a nice gain. We continue to hold Inovio Pharmaceuticals (INO) long. We started a short position in Glu Mobile (GLUU) on an inside upper channel break to the downside and started Under Armour (UA) long on an upper channel break to the upside. These positions can be found at www.strategicstocktrade.com. At the time of publication the author was long INO and UA and short GLUU.

Just as the Constitution's protections for slavery were debated at the time of its framing and ratification, the relationship between slavery and the Constitution remains a subject of debate. Historians continue to debate the centrality of slavery to the Constitution. The majority position among historians today appears to be that the Constitution was proslavery, in the sense that slavery and slavery protection played a central role in the formation of the Constitution. Furthermore, these historians argue that several of its provisions protected and promoted slavery. As George Van Cleve, the author of A Slaveholders' Union, concludes, the Constitution "was pro-slavery in its politics, its economics, and its law" (p. 270).
Despite this majority position among historians, the authors of constitutional law casebooks sometimes ignore or, more generally, minimize the proslavery interpretation of the Constitution. Certain casebook authors, while acknowledging the importance of slavery before and after the Constitution's ratification, adopt a more benign interpretation of the Constitution itself as "neutral" on slavery. Accordingly, a significant divergence exists between the proslavery interpretation held by many historians and the interpretation promulgated by many constitutional law casebook authors. As this Review explores, the failure of many constitutional law casebooks to engage prominently with the proslavery interpretation of the Constitution has important consequences for our understanding of the relationship between slavery and the Constitution and our understanding of how these origins of the Constitution may make a difference today.

I visited the North Devon holiday town of Ilfracombe some 30 years ago, but I remembered almost nothing of the place when I passed through it late last year when the weather was poor. Being in the area for an extended stay during the period of this event, I took the opportunity in very much better weather conditions to explore this small town and take some panoramas. The man walking his dogs was an unexpected feature. He readily agreed to gather the dogs together for the shot.

Do you allow pets on your parks?
Yes, as an owner we welcome well-behaved pets at all Park Leisure parks. We do however insist on guidelines which must be adhered to out of respect for fellow owners.
May I live at any of your parks?
Unfortunately not - all of our parks hold holiday licences and as such are for holiday home purposes only and may not be used as your residency.
Do you allow subletting on your parks?
Generally no. Park Leisure prides itself on operating a strict owner's only policy across our holiday parks, Par Sands, Cornwall is the only exception.
At Par Sands, a small allowance is given to holiday rentals via a managed sublet scheme. For more details concerning this please contact a member of our Par Sands sales team.
How long may I keep my holiday home for?
This varies from park to park, whilst we do not have any strict policy in place there are a number of other mitigating factors that need to be considered.
Please feel free to contact your chosen park who will be delighted to provide further details.

WASHINGTON - Attorneys are returning to court for a hearing in the case of murdered Washington intern Chandra Levy.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys are expected in court Monday for additional post-trial proceeding in the case of Ingmar Guandique, who was convicted of Levy's death and sentenced to 60 years in prison.
They're expected to discuss how much more information can be made public about a key prosecution witness who could be discredited. Defense attorneys have said they intend to request a new trial for Guandique based on the information about the man.
The 2001 disappearance of the 24-year-old became international news after she was romantically linked with then-California Rep. Gary Condit. Her body was found in Washington's Rock Creek Park the next year.

- Display and examine the "Mount Rushmore National Memorial Quarter" page or use the zoom feature at www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/atb/?local= MountRushmore. Locate this national site on a class map. Note its position in relation to your school's location. Tell the students that the front of a coin is called the "obverse" and the back is called the "reverse." Explain to the students that the United States Mint began to issue the quarters in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program in 2010. By the time the program ends in 2021, there will be a total of 56 designs. Each design will focus on a different national site—one from each state, territory and the District of Columbia.
- Display images of Mount Rushmore. Identify the faces depicted on Mount Rush-more as former Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Explain to the students that these four men were very influential (to be defined later) to the United States. Display the coin image again and help the students identify the faces as those of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.
- Read a text on Thomas Jefferson. Make a class chart of important things that Thomas Jefferson did for the United States.
- Ask the students to define "influential." Tell the students that "influential" means someone or something that is important and can affect and inspire other people and events. Discuss people they know who are influential.
- Introduce the students to the "Who and Why?" worksheet. Tell the students that they are to choose four people who are influential in their lives. The students will then use this worksheet to write a little about each of the four people and why they chose them. Allow students time to complete the assignment.
- Introduce the students to the "My Personal Mount Rushmore" worksheet. Explain that they will be designing their own Mount Rushmore using the four people from their "Who and Why?" worksheet. Model this for the students using your own example.

A few days earlier, before the onset of winter gales, we walked on the exposed and sparsely populated northern edge of the county, in the parish of St Gennys, where west-facing cliffs of contorted strata rise high above a perilous shore of boulders and rock ribs. Prickly tuffets of gorse and heath were burnished by fleeting sun on the south-facing sides of the precipitous coastal valleys, which remained dark and shady opposite, even at midday. Here, blasting, salty winds prune every bush, from thickets of bare, creeping blackthorn to more exotic yellow balls of furze on the iron age earthworks above Coxford water. In Dizzard wood, treacherous broken ground hosts a tangled expanse of stunted oaks, sweeping downwards towards the sea, brown buds now vivid on lichen-covered twigs. From high above Millook, three people and a dog on the beach below appeared like ants, dwarfed by the spectacular folded rocks.

Newspaper Guild Study Finds TV Labor Coverage "Scarce", "Negative"
Arecent report from the Newspaper Guild examines national TV networks' coverage of unions and the labor movement over three years and finds that "the media largely ignores labor, except to paint unions as a source of trouble in the American economy."
Over three years, only 141 stories among the four networks that focused on labor - less that 0.3 percent of approximated 16,000 stories broadcast per year. Find out more on the LaborMail blog!Read More
Pioneer Valley CLC, Prometheus to launch Union Victory Reporting Network
The average person on the street knows little about labor unions beyond the occasional report of labor battles they may hear about in the news. As a result, the public has a very poor understanding of what unions do on a day-to-day basis to fight and protect workers. This ignorance is a huge problem for unions trying to organize workers or persuade the public on important policy decisions.Read More
Senator Boxer Tears Into the EPA Over West, Texas Explosion
At a Senate hearing last Thursday, Environment and Public Works Committee Chair Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) grilled the Environmental Protection Agency official in charge of safety at chemical plants. Boxer wanted answers about why the EPA failed to adopt a 2002 recommendation from the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) to adopt stricter safety measures for reactive chemicals such as "ammonium nitrate"—the fertilizer ingredient that fueled the deadly West, Texas explosion in April.Read More

6 Reasons Why Your Union Needs Official Email Addresses
Many unions, especially smaller ones, do not set up official union email addresses with their domain name for their staff or leadership (e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com). Instead, they use a personal email addresses or an address given to them by their Internet provider for official union business. Unfortunately, that's not a very good idea. Here's six reasons why your union should set up official union email addresses:Read More

Seeking good genes?
It seems intuitively obvious that it is advantageous for a female to seek a mate who has successfully competed with other males. If a male's social status reflects his genetic make-up, it logically follows that females could benefit from having sons who, in turn, should be similarly successful in competing with other males for mating access. This "good genes" hypothesis, which predicts that the choosing sex should mate with individuals with features indicating overall genetic quality, has been widely accepted. Consider, for instance, a troop of plains baboons in which several adult males compete with one another to establish rank in a dominance hierarchy. Numerous observations of social groups of baboons have revealed that the highest-ranking "alpha" male typically achieves the greatest mating success with resident females. As a rule, he also has preferential access to food resources. In short, bullying despots who kick sand in the eyes of other males would seem to be prized mates. Such observations easily lead to the assumption that mate choice in women follows the same principle and that they are generally attracted to men who have attained high socioeconomic status.

Nandi's Knowledge Café and Ray's Grill
By Eric T. Campbell
The Michigan Citizen
There's a new spot in Highland Park that has already made a name for itself as a place to gather for the nurturing of the mind and the body. Open just a month now, Nandi's Knowledge Café is the collaboration of Nandi and fiancé Ray McDonald. Their storefront, located on Woodward just south of Glendale, is a seamless combination of used bookstore in the front and a small diner, Ray's Grill, in the back. They entered into the business together after deciding Ray's backyard cooking and Nandi's passion for rare books could unite to offer something special to the neighborhood.
"I always wanted a place where people could come and just eat and meet," says Nandi. She's sold different African related products and art in the past as a vendor, but there's no doubt as to where her passion rests. The buying of rare and used books in order to share them with her clientele has become more than a hobby.
"Hard to find Black books is my main focus," Nandi said. "I'm a collector but I'm also here to pass the knowledge on."
At first glance, the amply filled shelves appear humble in their selection — but on closer examination rarely found treasures reveal themselves in large numbers. The classic street novel series by Detroit legend Donald Goines is represented not far from the political musings of Cornel West.
The Prison Letters of George Jackson are found right across from the historical Africa's Gift to America. There's a rack of classic paperbacks including Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and Maya Angelou's I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. Although many of the titles reflect the African experience in this country, volumes rooted in traditional Americana are found as well, Dickens, Twain, Dostoyevsky and Faust just to name a few.
"Books are my business now, more so than the art," says Nandi.
Nandi and Ray have long ties to the area, explaining the café's connection to the Highland Park community.
They met when they both had children attending Highland Park High School. On any given day you'll find members of the Highland Park High football team playing cards and listening to the jazz music that is a staple at 'Nandi's'.
The atmosphere literally spills out the front door, where café style chairs and tables adorn the sidewalk.
Members of the Highland Park City Council, including Dr. Ameenah Omar, and City Hall workers are regulars for lunch and the banana pudding, whose recipe was donated by a devoted Highland Park elder one day.
"She said, 'Can I pass on my recipe for banana pudding? It's not going to cost you anything — people want my recipe and I'm just going to give it to you,'" Nandi related.
It's that interaction between buyer and proprietor that distinguishes the neighborhood café from the fast food franchise.
Ray's grill is determined to offer a substantial plate of home cooking for less than ten dollars and he's willing to make custom changes in the menu if time allows. The grill serves filet of tilapia, perch, whiting or catfish combined with spaghetti, coleslaw and bread all for $7.
On the weekends you'll find Ray grilling beef ribs and beef hot dogs.
The Knowledge Café has taken on the responsibility of organizing mentoring for the neighborhood's youth with open forums that focus on generational wisdom. Every third Saturday of the month they meet for a men and sons breakfast and 'round table' and share stories as well as experiences.
"We just try to develop some positive thoughts," says McDonald. "So they can get on some positive directions in their lives."
Regular poetry readings are also on the schedule at the café.
Nandi and Ray's presence on the block now joins several others including The Black Whole African boutique a couple of doors down. Carl Pettway, who owns the row of buildings, has committed to refurbishing the front of the entire row, including new signs and hanging lights.
"It's going to be a total façade improvement program," Pettway told the Michigan Citizen. "We're excited to see some very positive and uplifting things happening on the block."
The true entrepreneurial spirit —one that involves the neighborhood and doesn't shut it out — is alive and well in Highland Park with the support of the entire community.
"I'm not afraid to dream," says Nandi. "I've been wanting to do this for a long time."
Nandi's Knowledge Café is located at 12511 Woodward Ave. in Highland Park. Hours of operation are Mon-Th 10 am-7pm, Fri. 10am-12noon, Sat. 9am-10pm. Call Nandi or Ray for more details at 313-865-1288
