Montmartre 3/4-Length Leather Jacket 2 2
Quality product I am happy with this purchase. I am 6' 1" and wear a 44 Size Jacket. and have 34" waist. This product fit perfectly on the shoulders and did not seem to run small. The sleeves could have been 1/2" shorter, but overall it was a good fit. The jacket was not roughed up shinny leather as some reviews stated. I found the material to be a nice quilted suede with a high quality zipper and snap buttons. August 20, 2014
Different While this coat is described as "supple suede" it is more like polished leather that has been sanded to bring up some texture. Otherwise it is a fine coat with lots of handy pockets. It does run a bit small January 28, 2014

Category: International, Violence against Women
Notes from the Court Martial of Sgt. Paul Cortez
| February 22, 2007
"She screamed and cried and tried to keep her legs together." That is how Sgt. Paul Cortez described the reason he was fully aware that his premeditated rape of 14-year-old Abeer Qassim Rasheed Al-Janabi was not consensual but criminal.
Cortez and the others who are being prosecuted chose the Al-Janabi house because they had been to the home and knew "there was only one male and three females" and it would be "an easy target." Yet, he said, they "didn't know her name" until their crime was reported and the investigation began.
According to testimony at his court martial, Cortez, the highest ranking soldier among the four who allegedly planned the assault on Abeer and her family, had demanded the "privilege" of raping her first, according to testimony at the court martial taking place in Ft. Campbell, Kentucky.
Pvt. Stephen Green herded Abeer's parents and five-year-old sister into the next room, and Cortez threw Abeer onto the living room floor, lifted her skirt and pulled her stockings down, forced her legs apart and raped her as she screamed and struggled. His friend, Pvt. James Barker, held Abeer's arms down with his arms and knees. While he was raping Abeer, four or five shots rang out in the room next door, but Cortez didn't flinch or question the gunfire. When the sergeant was "done," Barker took his place, raping Abeer while Cortez held her down as she screamed, cried and struggled.
Green came into the room, saying, "I killed them all, they're all dead." Green then raped Abeer, with Cortez still holding the girl down, urging Green to "hurry up."
Choking up at times and wiping his eyes, Cortez paused frequently in his testimony recounting the events of March 12, 2006. He buried his hands in his head as he described how Green stood up and shot Abeer in the head three times with an AK-47.
After the rape and murders, Cortez, Green and Barker, along with Pvt. Jesse Spielman, set Abeer's body on fire and tried to burn the house down. They disposed of their clothes and the AK-47. They met up with Pvt. Bryan L. Howard, who reportedly acted as lookout and who has also been charged. They then carried on as usual, just another afternoon in Mahmoudiya, Iraq.
Sgt. Cortez pled guilty to all charges against him, including premeditated rape and felony murder. However, he disputed the charge of premeditated murder. Barker was brought in from Leavenworth Penitentiary to testify against Cortez, but the evidence ultimately came down to Barker's word against Cortez's. The other participants who witnessed his role are still facing their own criminal prosecutions and would not testify and risk self-incrimination. The judge yesterday ruled against charging Cortez with premeditated murder.
In the sentencing phase of the court martial, the defense is expected to present testimony that Cortez was acting under war-related stress when he committed rape and murder. Cortez does not face the death penalty. As William Cassara, Cortez's civilian attorney told WMC, his client "is a good kid who was in a horrific situation."
It's an argument that peace activists and feminist organizers, especially in the Ft. Campbell and Nashville areas, are sensitive to. "It can be pretty scary talking about the impact of the war in a military town—people think you're not supporting the troops," said Debbie Boen, the founder of Clarksville Freethinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. After the 2004 elections, she organized weekly peace vigils in the town's Patriot Square, posting the latest numbers of U.S. deaths—and Iraqi deaths.
Polly Coe, a Quaker and another member of the Freethinkers, is a stress therapist whose clients include Iraqi war veterans. In her experience, the immorality of war can give rise to war atrocities like rape and murder. "The whole war is dehumanizing," said Coe. Our soldiers don't believe they're fighting to defend our country. They're not fighting to protect freedom. The only thing that holds them together while they're in Iraq is to defend each other—anyone who doesn't defend the group, no matter what it does, becomes the enemy." Coe said that the men she sees are so angry and demoralized that domestic violence and sex addiction among returning veterans is a serious problem.
Feminist activists and other progressives in the Nashville area who were contacted by WMC say they have not heard much about the courts martial in the Abeer Al-Janabi case. Such groups as the Nashville Peace and Justice Center, Code Pink, and the Peace Coalition have been mobilizing to bring the troops home from Iraq. (For more information, visit the website www.Clarksvilleonline.com.)
The atrocities committed against Abeer and her family may never have come to light had it not been for another soldier in their company who overcame that pressure to maintain the code of silence. He suspected the involvement of his fellow soldiers and reported it. Otherwise Abeer would have been another Iraqi teenage girl who was targeted, raped and murdered. But now these soldiers know her name: Abeer—it means the fragrance of flowers.
Helen Zia, author of Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People (2000), is a Women's Media Center board member. This update continues the Women's Media Center series and organizing campaign focusing on crimes against Abeer Qassim Rasheed Al-Janabi and their implications for the military and U.S. foreign policy.
CORRECTION: This article first reported in error that Sgt. Anthony W. Yribe had acted as a lookout for Cortez and the others. According to Yribe's testimony in the court martial after this story was filed, he had observed Cortez's subsequent effort to cover-up evidence at the Al-Janabi house. Yribe was initially charged with dereliction of duty for failing to report the offenses but has been granted immunity in exchange for his testimony and does not face court martial.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Tsunami Closes Kona Village and Four Seasons on the Big Island
Kona Village, (pictured here in 2010) the low-key luxury resort north of Kailua Kona, has closed "indefinitely" in the wake of the March 11 tsunami surge that knocked 20 beach-side hales from their foundations and inundated resort grounds, destroying infastructure. Some 200 employees will be out of jobs beginning April 3 at the 45-year-old resort.
Meanwhile, The Four Seasons Hualalai—nextdoor on the coast but more upscale in design—announced a six-week closure to take care of wave damage and debris that came ashore during the event. The Big Island took significant damage farther down the coast, including along tourist-packed Ali'i Drive in Kailua, where resorts and homes were flooded, and in Kealakeua Bay, where homes were washed to sea.

Nuts About Pistachiosby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, February 8, 2012
No other nut boasts an emerald hue like the pistachio does. Find out what you're getting when you crack open a pistachio.
Pistachio Basics
Commonly grown in Turkey and Iran, 98 perecent of the American crop of pistachios is grown in California. You can spot these distinctive nuts by their tan outer shell and the small green nut peaking out (the shell splits open when the nuts are ripe). Pistachios are available shelled or unshelled, salted or unsalted. Some research suggests that shelled nuts are a better choice for portion control– having to pop open the shell slows you down when munching.
Nutrition Facts
A one-ounce portion of pistachios (about 50 pieces) has 157 calories, 13 grams of fat, 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. You'll also be crunching on an ample amount of iron, thiamin and vitamin B6. Pistachios also rank highest among nuts in the antioxidant department.
What To Do With Pistachios
Crush up pistachios to make a coating for chicken or fish. Sprinkle chopped nuts to add crunch to salads and grain dishes or blend with herbs for a fresh take on pesto. The sweet and nutty flavor can also jazz up cookies, fruit salad, yogurt parfaits and frozen yogurt. To enhance the flavor, toast in a dry pan or 375-degree oven for 5 minutes before using. Or try the following simple recipe, courtesy of Pistachio Health.
Pistachios + Aged Gouda + Gala Apple Wedges Drizzled with Lavender Honey + Cold Ginger Beer (in photo above)
A delicate hint of salted, dry-roasted pistachios counterbalance the caramel-like sweetness of aged Gouda to blend naturally with the crisp juiciness of Gala apples. Lavender honey adds a fragrant, sweet earthiness that brings out the pistachios' own earthy flavor.
Thinly slice Gala apples and arrange on a platter; drizzle with lavender honey and serve alongside chunks of aged Gouda and bowls brimming with pistachios.
Shopping and Storage Tips
Store nuts in a sealed container or bag. Refrigerate for up to 3 months or for an extra long shelf life (up to 1 year), store in the freezer.
Recipes to Try:
Orange-Pistachio Wild Rice Salad
Figs with Ricotta and Honey
Couscous with Pistachios and Scallion
Honey Pistachio Biscotti
Orzo Salad with Fresh Apricots, Pistachios and Ginger Oil
Pistachio-Parsley Pesto
Toasted Israeli Couscous
Fruit Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

Hoffman Lends A Most Wanted Man Gravity

Sixty years ago, Fred Flintstone hawked Winston cigarettes. Today, he pitches cereal. And both can kill.
Stephanie Soechtig's rabble-rousing documentary Fed Up argues that it's time to attack Big Sugar just like we successfully demonized Big Tobacco. Narrated by Katie Couric, Fed Up is the first doc of Sundance to stir up an outraged Q&A with attendees agitating for nutritional reform: put new labels on processed foods, resurrect home economics classes, rally our leaders to combat the corporate Sugaristas, and screen Fed Up in schools across America.
The flick starts with a simple question. In 1977, George McGovern introduced the McGovern Report, which outlined healthy dietary goals for the country. Why, then, have Americans gotten fatter -- exponentially so, especially the young? In 1980, there were zero cases of childhood type 2 diabetes. In 2010, there were 57,636. "That used to be called adult-onset diabetes," sighs Bill Clinton. No longer. Now we have 9- and 10-year-old kids dying of heart attacks and strokes.
At this rate, in twenty years, 95 percent of the population will be obese, a crisis that affects every aspect of our country's stability from health care spending to national defense. A group of retired military leaders is so alarmed by our out-of-shape society that they've issued a warning study called "Too Fat to Fight." At that point in the screening, the slender actresses to the right of me tsk-tsked, but then Fed Up dropped a bomb: 40 percent of thin people are also fat, their internal organs padded with enough damaging blubber that they may as well be clinically obese. Behold, our new national paranoia: TOFI, or Thin Outside, Fat Inside.
Quickly, Soechtig dismisses the common wisdom that fat people are fat because they're gluttonous and lazy. We meet 200-pound-plus kids like 13-year-old Wesley, whose mom monitors his servings of Special K chips, and 12-year-old Maggie, who swims, rows and walks. They're trying, but the scale isn't moving. In my generation, as a child of the '80s, there used to be one or two Maggies in a grade. Now there's a dozen. And the problem started when we tried to get healthy.
Fed Up traces back the last 35 years and makes a convincing case that big business is to blame. (When isn't it?) The food industry responded to the McGovern Report by flooding the grocery aisles with "healthy" chips, cookies, drinks, and cereals that cut fat while quietly upping the sugar. Since then, sugar consumption has doubled. It's not because we're pounding down the pound cakes -- a breakfast of orange juice and a bowl of processed cereal maxes out our ideal sugar intake for the rest of the day. Sugar increases insulin, insulin increases fat storage. And it's addictive. In a study Soechtig quotes, 93 percent of lab rats chose sugar water over cocaine.
Judging by the audience reaction as Soechtig detailed the many lost battles that have attempted to regulate the sugar industry, Fed Up is poised to be the Inconvenient Truth of the health movement. (Which makes sense -- producer Laurie David worked on both.) Why have we allowed the USDA, whose job it is to sell food, pretend to be the voice of nutritional wisdom? Why is it okay that pizza sauce and french fries are legally considered vegetables? Why aren't we loudly mocking junk food shills like the McDonalds rep who, while testifying in a failed hearing about banning advertising for children, deadpanned, "We don't market to children. Ronald McDonald informs and inspires by magic and fun." Where's their Thank You for Smoking, and can we please call it Thank You for Snacking?
After the film, I went to my condo and grabbed the cookie dough I'd been planning to bake. There were the lies and dodges that we've passively permitted for decades: a nutritional label that lists the daily percent of Vitamin A in one cookie (2 percent) but obfuscates the sugar by merely mentioning the number of grams, 11 (that's 55 percent). Not only did the package boast it had no trans fat, it even brazenly touted that a cookie and a glass of milk made a "wholesome snack."

A SPANISH Olympian has been declared the new face of Martini after winning a global contest.
Barbara Gonzalez, 27, from Pamplona, was spotted after the brand launched a Facebook search to find a woman that embodied Martini's 'ethos' that 'luck is an attitude'.
The brunette also won €150,000, 12 pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes and 12 designer outfits.
The gymnast will join the ranks of Charlize Theron, Thandie Newton and Monica Bellucci in fronting the stylish ads.

By Nerve Macaspac, Amnesty International USA Country Specialist for the Philippines
Torture is illegal in the Philippines. Yet Philippine police and military continue to use torture to extract information or force an admission of guilt from individuals they arrest for alleged crimes.
Alfreda Disbarro was punched in her stomach and face by a senior police officer in Manila. Her eyes were poked and her head banged against the wall. The police accused her of being a drug pusher. This happened in October 2013 – four years after the country's Anti-Torture Act was passed.

'Ringing' In Some Great Causes...
Article: U.S. Cellular
Share this article!

The Power Of Community Can Help Schools.
U.S. Cellular's Calling All Communities contest lets ten schools that receive the most community votes share a million dollars with no strings attached. And DonorsChoose.org gives regular folks the chance to be philanthropists by donating cash and supplies to their local schools with just a few clicks of the mouse. Two great ways that schools are getting help at a time when they need it the most.
'Ringing' In Some Great Causes...
U.S. Cellular is making a difference in schools around the country with its "Calling All Communities" campaign. The 10 schools that receive the most votes share equally in a million dollars with no strings attached. Not only does the monetary award benefit the schools and students, the contest helps boost morale, pride and even enrollment in some cases.
In this special segment of the show, viewers will see the surprise announcement and festivities at B.F. Grady Elementary School as they are awarded their top ten prize for the 2010 contest. One hundred U.S. Cellular employees are on hand to celebrate with the Albertson, North Carolina community as B.F. Grady receives $100,000 that can be used for any program or improvements that the school deems appropriate. Albertson, a town that counts less than 2,000 residents, demonstrates the resounding success of U.S. Cellular's goal to "bring people together".
In the 2009 campaign, the champions used their winnings in a variety of ways, including rebuilding a storm-damaged gymnasium, upgrading computer labs, building a new playground and creating a "Believe in Something Better" scholarship program. It is up to the school to decide how to use their award money to the greatest benefit.
According to The Balancing Act guest Charles Best, a former teacher and CEO of DonorsChoose.org, the biggest misconception is that tax dollars are enough to meet the needs of schools. Often times, individuals don't realize that our schools are in trouble until the one in their neighborhood closes. They don't know that the teachers across the country spend an average of $1,200 of their own money each year to provide basic classroom supplies for their students.
Most importantly, individuals don't realize that they have the power to help.
At U.S. Cellular, the company believes in being more than just a phone company. They made a commitment to invest more than $5 million in 2009 and 2010 in public and private schools through grassroots initiatives that harness the power of their 9,000 associates and the community. With Calling All Communities, the associates take the lead in spreading the word, activating communities and encouraging schools to rally votes. In 2010, 430,000 votes were cast in support of more than 6,800 schools!
Tune in to see this heartwarming story of community action and the children that it is impacting. For more information, visit www.uscellular.com.

HAZARD, Ky (WYMT-TV) --- Police have confirmed that Taylor Cornett, a victim of a shooting at Hazard Community and Technical College, died at UK Hospital at 3:47PM.
Taylor played basketball for R.W. Combs Elementary in Perry County and also practiced with the Perry County Central High School.
Perry Central Girls Basketball Coach Randy Napier has released the following statement.
"Our school and our community are all heartbroken over the loss of Taylor Cornett. Taylor will always be remembered as a part of the Lady Commodore family. I feel honored to have been one of her coaches if only for a short time. She was a very talented child with a very bright future in basketball. To have her life cut short at such a young age and in such a senseless manner is difficult for all of us to handle. My team and coaches along with her grade school team, the RW Combs Lady Mustangs and Coach Larry Caudill are all devastated by this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Taylors family. Please pray for us all"
A prayer service will be held in honor of the victims, first responders and everyone affected by the shooting at Petrey Memorial Baptist at 7:00 PM Wednesday.

Castle Round Table: "Pandora"by Christine Orlando at . Comments
Castle and Beckett tangled with the CIA and ended up getting tossed off a pier, while locked in their car, on the first part of this hit's annual two-hour episode. Will "Pandora" be a walk in the park compared to Beckett's reaction to Castle's former muse?
Chandel Charles, Jim Garner, Courtney Morrison, and Christine Orlando talk cliffhangers and romantic possibilities in this week's Castle Round Table.
So, were Castle and Sophia romantically involved and if so, will he tell Beckett?
Chandel: I am really interested to know the truth, so I hope he tells Beckett the truth soon. If you ask me, it was definitely romantic on some level!
Jim: Betting they had a fling, she wanted it causal and Rick (being the romantic) fell for his Muse. But when he told her, she broke his heart. This would explain a bit about why he is so guarded about opening up to Kate. My writer instincts say part of it will slip and after everything is done Rick will sit down and tell her the whole story.
Courtney: Something definitely happened, too much chemistry not to have! I think Rick sees Kate's jealousy so he will admit to her to be honest.
Christine: Ooh. I like Jim's theory. I'll be shocked if they hadn't slept together given the way they interact and that he followed her or a year. If Castle doesn't give Kate the full story in part 2 I'll be very disappointed.
What was your favorite scene?
Chandel: Beckett driving with Castle, expressing her displeasure with Castle about Sophia and her not being the only women he'd ever shadowed. There was some real Beckett feelings coming out there. They keep getting more and more comfortable talking about their partnership, its dynamics and keeping each other honest about it, even in a limited capacity.
Jim: Kate/Rick in the trunk. Loved the reference to episode where they were handcuffed together. Rick's quick thinking on hitting the panic button was great, the fact it annoyed Kate made it even funnier.
Courtney: The first time they got the bags over their heads. I had no idea what was happening and I loved it!
Christine: So many fun moments. I loved Beckett saying she wasn't about to get rescued by his girlfriend when they were in the trunk. Then Kate finally finding the nerve to ask Castle about his relationship with Sophia while they're in the park. You could tell she was really struggling. I can't make my mind up between the two scenes.
Is Castle right to be concerned about Alexis working with Lanie?
Chandel: No, Alexis has proven she's a big girl and she can totally handle working with Lanie.
Jim: I don't think he's worried about her safety, He just needs "his space" and Lanie working is part of that space. I'm sure he will adjust. Besides I'm rooting for Alexis to get the ME bug and become a Jr. ME so she can be on the show more!
Courtney: He is right to be concerned because he is her father. He sees how dangerous it can be and wants to protect Alexis from it. It's one thing to know about a murder scene, another thing to see it.
Christine: I thought he'd be more upset about his little girl going to crime scenes but it looks like he's afraid of her hearing things he'd rather keep private, like his spat with Beckett. News of which quickly made its way back to Martha which was very funny. Looks like he's got reason to be worried. Gossip amongst the girls travels fast.
Season 2, Beckett's apartment blows up. Season 3, They're locked in a freezer. Where does this cliffhanger rank?
Chandel: I have yet to decide. I think that season 3 freezer will probably always rank highest, more for its aftermath than the actual cliffhanger itself. I am willing to wait and see what the aftermath of this one is before I make any final judgments!
Jim: Last, mainly because the "car pushed into the water" has been done to death and even Mythbuster showed that if you keep your head you can get out of a car that is sinking in water. Don't get me wrong, I would be screaming like little girl, but this is TV.
Courtney: The apartment blowing up will always be tops with me. The car driving into the water is intense but we know they will both be ok. I'd put it second between the apartment and the freezer.
Christine: So far last, but I'll withhold judgement until part two. So far my favorite was Castle frantically running to Kate's apartment before it blows up on Season 2. And Jim...I saw that Mythbusters too. They proved that you had to hold your breath for about two minutes while submerged before the doors would open. If you screamed, you'd drown!

Not that I think Castle and Turner should get together again. Jennifer Beals, who I absolutely admire for her work in The Chicago Code, deserves her own show, and if Season 4 Castle made one iota of sense the writers would realize a CIA officer having an affair of that sort would be a security risk.
Sorry, but why? Why does Castle need to do anything? He's made his feelings clear. He's told Beckett that he loves her, and has pushed for some kind of confirmation, only to be rebuffed. There's nothing Beckett has done or said that suggests to Castle that she returns his feelings. Castle doesn't need to do a damn thing. He doesn't owe Beckett anything. And seriously, he's a grown man. He had a relationship with another woman a decade ago where there most certainly were feelings. The relationship may have ended on a less than ideal note, but it's apparent that some of those feelings still exist. Castle doesn't need to remain tethered to a woman with whom he's not in a relationship with for her sake. That ain't healthy.
Castle needs to settle some questions in Kate's mind,like what happened between Sophia and him. She needs to know she can trust him. Castle needs to shed a light to his life. I wonder if the second part doesn't let us know he's done with Sophia. Remembering Kate's one writer girl comment. THe apartment blowing up, and Rick concern for Kate was my favorite so far with double episodes. I am still waiting for her to respond to Castle about his love for her, or bring up the way Rick rubbed the back of her hand with the dog episode "An Embarassment of Bitches." Also from that episode, Rick didn't even look twice at Hilarie Burton's role, which he normally does when a beatiful woman come into the mystery/precinct. Rick never even checked her out... don't think that Kate didn't notice that?
Maka - You're right that everyone is entitled to their opinion but you really seem to dislike the show. I'll admit I don't always love everything about it and it has its flaws but I still think it's a great show and I enjoy it. I don't understand watching a show that you seem to dislike so much.
Shelly, lets just say this. As somebody who watched the show from the first season, the state of the show as it stands is immensely disappointing. But sure. If you want to completely dismiss the opinions of dissenters so you can ignore arguments that the show really might now be that good, go for it.
No on to my answers: I can't imagine Rick Castle following a woman for a year & not sleeping with her but then again he's followed Beckett around for 3 years so who knows. Beckett being bothered enough by Sophia to start asking questions was great. She needs to get answers from him if she's ever going to get over her insecurity about him getting bored & moving on if she sleeps with him. Castle was cute when he got all bothered about Alexis interrupting his unit cohesion. Alexis & Lanie could make quite the duo which is probably what Castle is worried about. Kate's apartment blowing up & Castle's frantic run to save her was the best ending of a part 1 but I didn't like the way they concluded it in part 2. I wanted more drama & they went for humor. I can't wait for Monday to see this cliffhanger's conclusion.
I'll never understand posters like Maka who hate a show but watch just to bash it. I can't imagine wasting my time on a show I dislike so much. I've never watched Castle expecting a tutorial on police procedure. I watch for the fun, great characters & wonderful chemistry. Enough of my rant.
Beckett is the worst Detective in a history of terrible television detectives. Seriously, that scene where she's walking around the second victim's house hurt my brain. I guess Castle naturally emits a stupidity inducing aura, that makes formerly competent detectives to spend more time on hair products and high heels and less time on actual police work. Lanie may very well take the cake for the worst ME in a history of TV MEs, as well. Gee, Lanie, you think it's totally normal for the unis to not have secured your crime scene before you get there? You are an idiot. This episode was trash. Kind of like the last two parter.
This "linchpin" business is utter nonsense. There is no kind of "silver bullet"/"magic pill" which can affect social change, let alone geopolitical change. All this bluster about "THE END OF TEH WORLD OH NOES!!!11!!" is just hot air. Beckett, you have no bloody business being jealous of your not-boyfriend's romantic or sexual history with another woman. What did you think he was before, a monk? You turned him down, so you can't say anything if somebody else happens to think a guy who looks like Nathan Fillion is actually quite a catch. I'm guessing Castle screwed up something of Turner's way back when. Hence the whole whitewashing business. Of course, knowing Marlowe, it'd be something about LUUUUURRRRVVV, and I will puke.
When the car went over the pier I'm screaming at the TV "unbuckle your seat belts NOW" .... yes I watch too much Mythbusters too!

Economy Takes Toll On Burrow Spec Buys
Posted 3/12/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Jonesboro developer Bruce Burrow said the Great Recession clobbered his commercial real estate business, leading to a wave of lenders filing foreclosure lawsuits against him.
Since July 2010, Burrow, who helped develop The Mall at Turtle Creek in Jonesboro, has been hit with four judgments totaling $5.5 million. And he still has four foreclosure lawsuits pending where lenders are seeking $3.78 million.
"Let me preface anything I say to you: I take full responsibility," Burrow told Arkansas Business last week. "I've been here 40 years and we've developed lots of property. ... when things turned down, I got caught holding too much vacant ground.
"I simply ran out of cash and didn't have it," the 69-year-old said.
Now Burrow thinks the days of speculating on vacant commercial land are over.
"I don't think anybody in our business ... will get caught holding raw land [again]," he said. "But to buy it and not immediately have a use for it is not something I will do again. Had I done that this go-around, I wouldn't be where I'm at today."
These days, Burrow said, he is working with the banks to sell the pieces of property that are the subject of the foreclosure lawsuits.
He said that he still had more assets than liabilities but declined to say how much.
Burrow said most banks were working with him, but he is in a legal catfight with Iberiabank and has filed a counterclaim against the Lafayette, La., bank for the way it handled the foreclosures against his properties.
Unrelated to the foreclosure lawsuits, Burrow sued his business partner in October over the management of The Mall at Turtle Creek. Burrow's partner, David Hocker of David Hocker & Associates Inc. of Owensboro, Ky., fired back with a countersuit. That case settled last week. (See story, Legal Battle Over Turtle Creek Ends in Settlement.)
These days, Burrow said, the economy in Jonesboro is improving and he is trying to wind down his business dealings and do more traveling.
He said he was optimistic that one day he'll dig himself out of the debts from the lawsuits. "I worked my way into it, and I'll work my way out of it," Burrow said.
Working Way Out
An example of Burrow's efforts to shed debt and property can be found in Iberiabank's lawsuit against Burrow, his Burrow Family Trust and Realty Associates Brokerage Inc.
In July 2010, Iberiabank sued in Craighead County Circuit Court in an attempt to recover $2.1 million in defaulted loans. Burrow said in response that he had signed an agreement to make the payments just two months earlier and had promptly paid $600,000.
But that wasn't enough.
Burrow admitted that he defaulted, but he was provoked because in the meantime Iberiabank wanted him to pay $10,000 to "cover a one-time waiver of the ... 'defaults,'" he said in his countersuit.
Burrow's filing describes the fee as "nothing less than a predatory lending attempt at a white-collar shakedown." It was, his countersuit says, "a blatant effort to exploit Burrow's current liquidity problems in the midst of the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression in order to further 'pad' [Iberiabank's] quarterly earnings for the financial quarter ending June 30."
Burrow is countersuing for breach of contract and is seeking an unspecified amount of money for damages. The case remains open.
Iberiabank's attorney, Harry Hurst Jr. of Jonesboro, didn't return a call for comment last week.
Other Banks
Burrow said it didn't help his financial situation that he had triple heart bypass surgery in August 2010 and spent nine months recovering.
In the meantime, seven more banks followed Iberiabank's lead by suing Burrow.
The Focus Bank in Charleston, Mo., has received $2.97 million, which is the largest judgment against Burrow so far. It received the judgment on Jan. 17 for a 2008 loan that Burrow defaulted on. Focus also named as a defendant WHB LLC, which is also known as Burrow Halsey Holdings LLC.
In February, the bank recovered nearly 30 acres of undeveloped land in Jonesboro as a result of the default judgment.
Burrow said last week that he was working with the other banks to sell his property, and he said that there was no one better to sell it than he.
"I'm the one that has the heart, soul and blood in it and knows pretty much what to do," Burrow said. "Running out of liquidity doesn't make you all of a sudden go from a genius to a dummy."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It's marriage, episode II for George Lucas.
A Lucasfilm spokeswoman confirms the "Star Wars" creator married longtime girlfriend Mellody Hobson in a weekend ceremony at Skywalker Ranch north of San Francisco.
It's the second wedding for the 69-year-old Lucas, who was married to film editor Marcia Lucas from 1969 to 1983.
It's the first marriage for Hobson, 44, an investment firm president and contributor to ABC's "Good Morning America." The two have dated since 2006. Former U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley walked her down the aisle.
The Saturday afternoon ceremony was performed by journalist Bill Moyers, who was once a Baptist minister.
Guests included filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard, who said on Twitter that the wedding was "a joy to behold" and Moyers' service "nothing short of profound."

Whew. It feels good to narrowly avoid disaster. That adrenaline rush of the almost-car-accident, the thrill of the nearly-over-the-handlebars bike move -- they remind us that we are alive, and that we are mortal. This past week, the State of California had a brush with travesty, when Zinfandel almost became the official state grape, despite my public warnings about the imminent dangers of such a move (as written to the Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle):
It is with great concern that I write to you about state Sen. Carole Migden's proposed bill to make Zinfandel the state wine. Your reporter, Greg Lucas, explored many important aspects of this issue, including whether or not we need a state cheese to go with the wine, but failed to address some of the more disastrous consequences.
Let's leave aside the argument that we are paying Migden roughly $110,000 a year to address more pressing issues. Let's also leave aside the fact that California needs a state wine like I need a 10-foot cast-iron croissant.
And finally, let's also disregard the fact that as different varietals "impress her" with a "strong showing" in the Chronicle Wine Competition, over the next few years Sen. Migden will eventually have to proclaim ALL wines the California State Wine, if only to prove that she isn't a waffling, fair-weather politician.
No, I want to talk about something much more serious: the impact on the California wine business when Zinfandel grapes become illegal to pick, just like our state flower, the California poppy.
Does Migden not realize that hundreds, if not thousands, of people make their living from this grape? Not to mention the wine drinkers who will soon no longer be able to consume it for fear of state fines or jail time for the worst offenders?
With this bill, our state legislators are contemplating dooming the varietal to a pitiful life as subject matter for postage stamps and dioramas at state history museums and highway rest stops.
I would also like to point out that the state animal, the California grizzly bear, cannot be proclaimed extinct with 100 percent certainty, especially in this day and age of cloning science.
What happens when we catch the first California grizzly raiding Zinfandel vineyards? The idea of the state animal eating the state wine grape while crushing the state flower underfoot as the state butterfly flits about in horror is too much for me, and certainly too much of a moral quagmire for this state to contemplate enabling.
Please, can't we forget about this whole thing and get back to more pressing matters like seceding from the Union
But the Senate did not forget about the whole thing. Instead they diligently spent three months debating the issue. I like to think it's because they were weighing the likelihood of Zinfandel eating Grizzlies appearing during each of their terms in office. In the end some rational person must have prevailed upon them to think of the children, because on Thursday of this past week, instead of making Zinfandel the official state grape, they made it the Official Historical Grape of California.
I cant find the regulations and procedures for state historical proclamations anywhere, but my guess is that this sort of legislation has the same general effect as when the mayor of your city proclaims that next Tuesday is "Everyone wears purple" day.
This means, thankfully, that no one is going to get arrested for picking Zinfandel. I don't know about you, but I'm relieved. As soon as my blood pressure drops back down, I'm gonna get started on my campaign to make the covered wagon the Official Historical Transportation Method of California, and cow dung the Official Historical Combustion Material of California, and canned beans as the Official Historical Food of California. Got any others I should add to the list?

My first published book was The Untold Story of the New Testament Church (2005).
In 2014, I plan to rewrite the entire book from beginning to end. (God willing.)
There will be a lot of new content added, it will sport a new cover that matches my other books in the ReChurch series.
And it will have a new title. The subtitle of the book will be "The Untold Story of the New Testament Church."
Update: You all gave me great input on a new title and the consensus was to put the NT Epistles at the end of the book in chronological order.
Here are two titles I really like.
If you have a preference, let me know what it is. And if you have a better idea that's 2 or 3 words long for the main title, that is catchy and compelling, let me know.
Unquenchable Flame: The Untold Story of the New Testament Church
Inexhaustible Flame: The Untold Story of the New Testament Church
Here are the other book titles in the ReChurch series that this book belongs to:

Today's history lesson: You shouldn't always believe what you hear. Long before TV, let alone social media like Twitter and Facebook, the medium of radio held sway over the public consciousness — and more to the point, the collective imagination — in a way that now seems hard for many to fathom. One visionary who understood its potential and power was Orson Welles, "prodigy and provocateur," who at the astonishingly precocious age of 23 triggered a Halloween eve panic in 1938 with his innovative and infamous CBS Radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds.
In response to cholera and dysentery epidemics, the Chicago Board of Sewage Commissioners selected Ellis Sylvester Chesbrough to solve Chicago s public health crisis. Chesbrough s planned system relied on gravity flow, but downtown streets were too low to drain into the river. New sewers raised the city's streets as much as 10 feet. The challenge then was to raise the buildings.

A week's worth of notable TV has been crammed into one very busy night. Let's take it from the top.
As modern life keeps accelerating, with everything so fast-paced and high-tech, the Amish quietly adhere to centuries-old traditions, leaving the rest of us wondering whether to admire or pity them.
The Amish, a fascinating and gorgeously photographed two-hour episode of PBS' American Experience that's as much anthropology as history lesson, often feels more like a nature documentary. Because the subjects refuse to talk on camera, believing it violates the Second Commandment, we watch from afar as these devout people go about their daily routine and timeless devotions in insular, unspoiled rural habitats. They do, however, open up in voice-over interviews about their strongly held values and rigidly enforced rules.

Soulja Boy Got a Tour Bus From 50 Cent!
Soulja Boy has been the talk of the town these days as he just received an awesome (and ultra generous) gift from rapper 50 Cent for his 19th birthday present:
A tour bus!
Here's a short clip of our boy S-Beezy on board his newest mode of transportation:
From the looks of it, it's quite roomy. Well it has to be roomy as the bus is equipped with a state-of-the-art recording studio, enabling Soulja Boy to still work on his upcoming album: "The DeAndre Way" while he's touring as part of Lil Wayne's Young Money Presents The America's Most Wanted Music festival.
Anybody wanna come on board? You gotta beat us first! LOL!
