Nearly six years after the first Park East strip parcel was sold by Milwaukee County, a long-delayed development on that property is about to begin construction.
Excavation work will start Monday for the project's first phase of 104 apartments, 7,000 square feet of commercial space and a parking structure, said developers Stewart Wangard and Tony DeRosa, of Wangard Partners Inc. Completion is expected by September 2014.
"This has been in the works for quite a few years," Wangard said Tuesday.
The first phase will be on about half of the three-acre development site, a block bordered by N. Milwaukee, N. Jefferson and E. Lyon streets and E. Ogden Ave. Future phases will include more apartments.
The $21 million first phase is being financed mainly with loans from Associated Bank and The Private Bank, said Wangard, chairman and chief executive officer, and DeRosa, vice president of development.
The development's old name, Park East Square, has been dropped in favor of Avenir, said Emily Pier, marketing and research assistant. In Spanish, that's roughly translated as "to come together," she said.
Wangard said that name reflects the high proportion of renters — including those with international backgrounds — who are new Milwaukee residents at Wangard Partners' other recently opened apartment developments.
Also, it made sense to rename the project after the years of delays when it was known as Park East Square, DeRosa said.
The original developer, Chicagoan Rich Curto, bought the property from Milwaukee County in December 2007 but was unable to obtain financing.
Last year, Wangard took over the project. But his role brought protests from Service Employees International Union Local 1, which represents janitors.
Wangard had replaced a union janitorial firm with a non-union firm at a downtown office building. Wangard said the union firm's contract wasn't renewed after it was warned several times about performance issues.
The union opposed a $1 million city loan to help pay for a $1.8 million environmental cleanup at the Park East site. The union dropped that opposition after Wangard agreed to remain neutral on the union's attempt to negotiate a contract with the non-union janitorial firm.
Along with the loan, which comes from a revolving fund that uses grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Wangard Partners received a Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. grant of $448,362 for the cleanup. That grant was made final last week, which allowed the project to go forward, Wangard said.
Avenir will tap into strong demand among younger professionals for high-end downtown apartments, Wangard said. He said its location near a stop for Milwaukee's proposed streetcar, and the continued growth of Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., are among the factors that will help the development attract renters.
The only other development so far on the Park East strip is Milwaukee School of Engineering's new parking ramp, topped with a soccer field, north of E. Knapp St. and west of N. Broadway.
There also have been developments next to the Park East strip, including the Moderne high-rise apartments, Aloft Hotel and The North End apartments.

Swiss helicopter firm denies involvement in Schumacher theft
Published on Jul 9, 2014 12:42 AM
GENEVA (AFP) - A Swiss helicopter company on Tuesday denied that any of its staff had been involved in leaking a medical file on injured Formula One champion Michael Schumacher and filed a lawsuit over the theft.
The denial by Rega, which organised the sportsman's transport from a French hospital to Switzerland last month, came a day after French prosecutors tracked down the IP address of the computer used in the theft to a helicopter firm in Zurich, where Rega is based.
Rega has said it received a medical dossier on Mr Schumacher, who was injured in a devastating ski accident in December, but denied that its staff had been involved in attempts to sell the stolen information.
"Rega has no evidence that any of its employees failed in this regard. At this stage, we assume that the rights of the patient to medical confidentiality have been preserved," it said.

Now that 2014 is in full swing, Mariah Carey is trying to find her way to the top of the charts following the success of "#Beautiful," which was meant to erase the distant memory of "Triumphant (Get 'Em)," which nearly erased all the good faith "Touch My Body" and "Obsessed" earned the singer when she finally landed back on top of the charts thanks to "We Belong Together." If you're noticing a pattern, it's that nearly every single has been a hit-or-miss attempt to get back to the heyday of Carey's pre-Glitter days. With "You're Mine (Eternal)" up to bat, we wanted to look back on all of the 'comeback' singles that came before it.
"Through The Rain" (2002)
The first of the many "comeback" singles was a color-by-numbers version of a Mariah Carey ballad. Fans responded to the tepid step in kind. It was her first real attempt at the pre-breakdown Carey and it just felt lukewarm. The song peaked at 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 before disappearing all together.

The FIFA World Cup 2014 will commence on June 12, and while excitement among football fans is already running high, the official logo of the World Cup has created a stir.
It is being mocked on social media for 'looking like a 'facepalm'. While this was the original charge against it, people have come up with funny descriptions and inferences from this logo.
The logo is titled 'inspiration' and It is based around a design of three victorious hands together raising the World Cup trophy. The yellow and green colouring implies Brazil warmly welcoming the world for the event.
However, the logo has attracted quite a bit of ridicule. Twitter is abuzz with activity all of a sudden, and most Tweeple don't have anything positive to say about the logo. When Twitter user hollybrocks tweeted the logo calling it a 'facepalm' logo, there were some funny reactions:
MajorBisho said:
@hollybrocks getting weird conflakes logo vibes too
— MajorBisho (@majorbisho) April 23, 2014
Stuart Bramley took a dig at the England football team:
@hollybrocks That's how all England fans will spend the majority of the tournament so it's probably quite fitting!
— Stuart Bramley (@stuafcb) April 23, 2014
Trimble KazzaK seemed to be defending the logo, obliquely:
@hollybrocks @wowcynwise still better then the London Olympics mascot
— Trimble KazzaK (@trimbleirl) April 23, 2014
Kellogg's Cornflakes were really in demand:
@hollybrocks @johnrisby I don't know about that but it's making me crave Kellogg's Cornflakes.
— Oonagh (@Okeating) April 23, 2014
The 2010 and 2006 FIFA World Cup logos made much more sense. While the 2010 logo had a player kicking the football with vigour, the 2006 logo looked like three smiling faces.

England coach Roy Hodgson says they need to dampen expectations around Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
He reckons the nation needs to take a reality check going into this week's Wembley meeting with World Cup whipping boys San Marino.
Hodgson said: "It's really good to see Wayne back so fit and enthusiastic because we always need a player of his exceptional ability.
"But we put players like Wayne under an enormous amount of scrutiny and pressure.
"And the moment he doesn't play like a genius we write him off as hopeless.
"It was difficult for him at the Euros because we had that waiting period when he was suspended.
"When he finally got on to the field we were expecting him to be some sort of messiah."

A time when goat cheese just started showing up on menus, fusion wasn't considered an "f word" and Sedlar's plating was as iconic as a Factory Records album sleeve. "He was practically the first guy to do the drizzle on a plate!" says designer Eddie Sotto, one of Sedlar's business partners, who attended the Gruet-fueled fête.
Times restaurant critic S. Irene Virbila gave Rivera 31/2 stars and called it "one of the most exciting restaurants to debut in L.A. in the last few years" from a "hyper-talented chef [who] nailed it every time." (Only two restaurants in Los Angeles, including Rivera, have earned that rank.)
"There aren't a lot of chefs who could drop out for such a long time and then come back with such force," says Mary Sue Milliken, who with Susan Feniger opened City Café (later it would become Border Grill) on Melrose Avenue at about the same time that Sedlar opened Saint Estèphe in Manhattan Beach. "This industry is so competitive and so hard…. John's one of those people who has a contagious passion and persistence."
And Rivera was just the start. This year, Sedlar, 56, opened another restaurant, Playa on Beverly Boulevard, and still pursues a decades-long dream to build a museum dedicated to Latin cuisine — an obsession partly inspired by a Day of the Dead tamal he tried on a trip to Lake Pàtzcuaro in Mexico.
"I was terrified," says Sedlar of opening Rivera. "It was very, very scary. Why would I try to do a restaurant again and compete with all the talent in this city? …. I was scared my food would be dated."
Before blue corn tortilla chips and chile-infused chocolate were ubiquitous, Sedlar was serving blue corn tortillas with caviar and chocolate chile relleno at Saint Estèphe. "No one had ever seen a tortilla in a white tablecloth setting," says Sedlar, who was born in Santa Fe, N.M., moved to Los Angeles in 1973 and cooked with legendary chef Jean Bertranou at the French dining institution l'Ermitage.
Sedlar, along with chefs such as Mark Miller of Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe and Stephen Pyles in Dallas, was at the forefront of a movement to embrace regional American cuisine. Other chefs in their circle included Robert Del Grande and Dean Fearing. "The five of us built this game," Sedlar says. "We'd started to ask ourselves, what is American food? Why are we such Europhiles?"
He and his then business partner Steve Garcia had opened Saint Estèphe in a South Bay mall next to a dry cleaner in late 1980, "a nice French restaurant" (named after a celebratory bottle of 1953 Cos d'Estournel from the Saint-Estephe region in Bordeaux). But "it needed a bit of a spark," Sedlar says. After a visit home to New Mexico, he returned to L.A. with 15 cases of red Chimayo chiles and started experimenting. "I integrated them in every item on the menu. Ice cream, pickles, chutneys, sauces, apps, entrees, all courses of the menu.
"I worked with my grandmother in search of the perfect tortilla. We held them up in our hands, took pictures, studied the shape of them, the char marks."
The chiles, beans, spices, herbs, seeds, pine nuts, squashes and corn of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains worked their way into French dishes such as salmon mousse tamale, duck liver mousse with pickled chiles in aspic, posole consommé with foie gras and truffle. The menu was written entirely in French: tamale de mousse de saumon, cuit à la vapeur dans une gousse de maïs, nixtamal, beurre au cilantro; soufflé aux chiles verts; crêpes de maïs bleu. Who knew the French word for tumbleweed? (It's "squelette," according to a menu.)
"When he first put dishes such as ravioli stuffed with carne adobada in a chevre sauce on his menu, most of his customers thought he was insane," wrote then L.A. Times restaurant critic Ruth Reichl in 1991. "Ten years later his French-inflected Southwestern menu seems not only sane but downright sensible: Sedlar's dishes are uniquely his own…. I am particularly fond of this gorgeously simple slice of steamed salmon in three sauces that looks like a Navaho sand painting."
The way Sedlar sees it, he didn't change as a chef from Saint Estèphe to Rivera. "The customers changed; they want to be challenged. They became flavor seekers … grab-you-by-the-throat flavors — sharp chiles, deep herbaceousness, bright citrus hits. Latin dining rose to the occasion."
Though his plating is still visually arresting, it's more streamlined and contemporary — no smoked salmon molded into the shape of a rattlesnake or flowers carved from jicama. Sedlar is revisiting those dishes with a special Saint Estèphe menu at Rivera this month.
By the early '90s, Sedlar decided to move on from Saint Estèphe and sold his shares. In 1992 he opened Bikini on 5th Street in Santa Monica with new partners. The name evoked "a stylish frame of mind, healthy, youthful, vibrant, fresh," Sedlar says. "There were big windows facing Santa Monica sunsets. It was the California Riviera."
Bikini was ambitious, and the next couple of years would prove it was overly so. The restaurant had a two-story glass facade, two kitchens, an Eric Orr waterfall sculpture, terrazzo floors and bar. A sign above the bar said "Chateau d'Yquem on tap" (for $40 a glass), and there were several sets of custom tableware — some painted with the words "Blam Blam" à la Roy Lichtenstein, others depicting the virgin of Guadalupe. Sedlar now refers to Bikini as "Rivera, exploded."
The menu included some of Sedlar's familiar, deft nouvelle Southwest cooking but also some dishes that confounded, such as pumpkin-seed-encrusted whitefish schnitzel with spaetzle and duck egg foo yong.
Amid a recession, Bikini fizzled — though Sedlar had reached celebrity-chef status (complete with a line of truffle-scented hair care products) — and became Abiquiu, a lower-priced, more-casual restaurant. But Abiquiu never fully recovered from the hit of the Northridge earthquake in January 1994. As one L.A. Times column read, "the beach party" was over.

Dispatches explores the growth and increasing influence of Christian fundamentalists.
In God's Name
As the Human Fertilisation and Embryo Bill continues its way through Parliament, David Modell follows some of the leading members of Christian pressure groups as they attempt to win converts and convince MPs to base laws on Biblical beliefs.
Hard-line Christian activists are now mobilising believers in an attempt to make an impact on society nationally. Followers believe abortion and homosexuality should be illegal, there should be no sex before marriage and that the law of blasphemy should be strictly enforced.
They say the Bible is the definitive word of God and is literally true and are intolerant of other faiths. The film follows well funded and politically active Christian groups and shows them emerging as a significant voice in British politics.

Rubik's Cube Solvable In 20 Steps Or Less
Supercomputers have determined that a Rubik's Cube can be solved in 20 moves or less from any position.
The international team used a bank of supercomputers at Google to help solve the 30-year quest to find the minimum number of moves needed to solve each of the billions of configurations.
"We now know for certain that the magic number is 20," Professor Morley Davidson, a mathematician from Kent State University, told BBC News.
The results show that there are about 100 million starting positions that can be solved in 20 moves.
However, the majority of solutions can be solved in just between 15 and 19 moves.
Davidson told BBC that the number was "pure religion" because nobody had managed to crunch their way through all the possible 43,353,003,274,489,856,000 positions.
"We were secretly hoping in our tests that there would be one that required 21," he said.
The researchers split all of the possibilities into 2.2 billion groups, each containing 20 billion positions, in order to try and crack the Rubik's Cube code.
Davidson said it would have been "completely hopeless" to try and compute all the groups. They reduced it by spotting duplicates and using symmetry to spot other similar combinations in order to make it more manageable.
The team managed to reduce the number to 56 million sets of 20 billion combinations.
Each combination took a "good PC 20 to 30 seconds to sort," Davidson told BBC.
The team then processed the batches on a supercomputer.
"Then Google stepped forward and offered to run the computation," he told BBC.
"We still don't know what machinery they used."
He said that the probability of there being a combination that required over 20 moves to solve "dropped into the very low digits," as the exercise went on.
Davidson and his team said they were convinced the problem had been solved and that the number of moves for the Rubik's Cube was 20 at the most.
"It's come full circle for me," he said. "Rubik's Cube was an icon of the 80s when I was growing up and was the reason I went into mathematics."
The initial results of the exercise had already been published online and Davidson said their method has now been submitted to peer-reviewed journals.
"People are welcome to verify the code," he said. "You could check it on a small supercomputer."
Emö Rubik invited the Rubik's Cube in 1974 in Budapest as w rocking model of 3D geometry.
Anssi Vanhala of Finland holds the record for solving the Cube by using feet in just 36.72 seconds. Halyan Zhuang of China can solve it blindfolded in 30.94 seconds.

Hi there,

Is there any way to find out when this was done and and which IP address did this? WordPress or MySQL log files or maybe server log files that I could get through my server provider?

Loggiato dei Serviti
Piazza SS Annunziata 3, Florence, Italy, 50122

Expert review of Loggiato dei Serviti
In spite of a slew of small, three-star hotel openings in Florence in recent years, I think that the Loggiata dei Serviti (which has been around for a while) continues to hold its own as one of the best. Housed in a 16th century convent building that stands on one of the city's most beautiful squares, the interiors have been decorated with full respect for the building's ancient origins while creating a comfortable, classy modern hotel.
I love the sense of history that the place exudes with its vaulted and coffered ceilings, stone arches, terracotta floors and polished period parquet, nooks and crannies, antique furniture and fine fabrics and a rather pleasant sense of calm. After all, it was once a convent.
The Loggiato overlooks Piazza Santissima Annunziata, one of Florence's most beautiful squares (my second favourite after my local Piazza Santo Spirito!), and onto Brunelleschi's Ospedale degli Innocenti with its celebrated arched portico. It lies about five minutes directly north of the Duomo and just round the corner from the Accademia and the wonderful Museo di San Marco, so in an excellent position for sightseeing. The square is a favourite haunt for homeless people, but I promise they are harmless.
As you would expect in such an ancient building, each of the 38 rooms is very different from the next. They vary from the small yet nonetheless pleasant economy rooms that would suit a single, to several really large two-roomed suites that sleep a family of four comfortably. The rooms have lots of character (less so those in the nearby annexe) and many have canopy or four-poster beds and splendid big bathrooms. A few have small terraces. Rooms at the top look over red rooftops and the city's monuments; the quietest overlook the gardens at the back, but they miss out on the views of the Portico with is roundels of swaddling babes across the square. Bathrooms are generously supplied with goodies made from local organic olive oil.

There's an intimate bar beyond the lobby area (where the reception desk is set in an old-fashioned wooden booth), a TV room and a lovely vaulted breakfast room.
The generous, above average breakfast earns lots of praise from guests. There's no restaurant but drinks and snacks are available from the bar from 7am-10pm.
The staff seem to find a good balance between efficiency and friendliness and provide excellent advice on where to go and eat and what to do while in Florence. There's valet parking (extra cost) for guests who arrive by car. Free internet access.

This is the sort of place that has legions of fans who return time after time. The quiet atmosphere attracts academics and a slightly older clientele, mostly Brits and Americans.
The economy and classic doubles are a pretty good deal in both low and high seasons and family rooms (two adults plus two children) are a bargain at any time.

Two Iranian soccer players who used "inappropriate" behavior to celebrate during a nationally televised game on Saturday may face lashings and imprisonment.
Iranian media have been up in arms over the celebratory scene captured on camera after a Persepolis goal, ending the team's losing streak, in which one player touched the others' buttocks.
The Washington Post reported that the action could be construed as a violation of public chastity, punishable by two months in prison and a public 74-strike lashing, taking place in the same soccer arena where the situation occurred.
Iranian media reported that Perspolis chairman Mohammad Royanian fined one player $194,000 and the other $230,000, who was also fired.
Royanian also criticized the Iranian football federation as well as the head of the Iranian Pro League for hyping the 'unpleasant incident' in front of news media representatives.
A judiciary official has called for the two men to be flogged and imprisoned.
Members of the National Soccer Team, however, have issued a statement in support of their colleagues, insisting that the affair was not intentional.
Both players have also issued public statements saying they committed no indecency, and all the negative interpretations of the scene are misunderstandings.
Former national team player Mehdi Mahdavikia said Iranian media were making a big deal out of the incident.
"When I was playing in Germany, such things happened all the time," he said.

I can't even wrap my mind around this piece of news. In the 21st century, no less.
Words fail me.
Carola....that link is astonishing! EVERYONE should take a look at "The Little Green Book."
And this the country, that claims to be so moral, where it is legal to get a permit for a 'temporary' mut'a 'marriage' - an infinite number, in fact - and all just for the purpose of having sex. And that's on top of men being able to have 4 'wives' to satisfy their lust with already! (Of course, women can only have one permanentish husband, but, being the progressive country that it is, women are allowed one temporary 'marriage' at a time for adulterous affairs.)
Ayatollah Khomeinii said more than Islam has no sense of humour, Rob and Jay. He also said men could have sex with breastfeeding babies, even ripping them apart with anal intercourse, but it immoral to penetrate them vaginally before the age of 9. Such a Saint!
He even brags himself of having had sex with a little baby and what a turn-on it was. This is moral? And they say the West is decadent? What diseased minds and what diseased ideology/theology could twist morality so perversely?
Read Khomeinii's 'Little Green Book' inwhich he gives all of these sickening sexual 'morals' and others like killing gay people - the terrible sin of two people of the same sex actually loving each other, unlike those who can 'morally' have unlimited numbers of sex partners in 'temporary' marriages': http://www.scribd.com/doc/57040439/The-Little-Green-Book
What a sick theocratic bunch. Ayatollah Khomeinii, that evil-looking sadist, pedophile, mass murderer, made the seemingly very appropriate statement that Islam does not have a sense of humor. That it soooooooooo true.
May the oppressed and brutalized Iranian people soon gain their freedom and kick these bigoted 7th century tribal idiots out and enter the modern world. Iran was the ancient empire of Persia and one of the greatest world civilizations, until they were conquered by Islam & 100,000 Zoroastrians were beheaded in the 7th century. It's been downhill ever since for these Aryan non-Arab people.
There's a reason that people are fed up with Islam in Iran where it was just recently reported that only 2% of the population attend mosque worship anymore.
Hopefully the Arab Spring countries will take a lesson from Iran who overthrew their US/UK backed dictator years ago and ended up with something much worse - Islamofascism. Egypt, Tunsia, Libya etc seem to be heading the same way. They too may end up some day missing their old dictators and the few freedoms they had under them once the Muslim Brotherhood Theocracies strip them of all the rest, just like in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Poor people.
It looks like to me he wanted to steady the fool who swatted his hand away and in the process his grip got the guy not in the butt but closeer to 'home'. It seems clearly an accident. But, of course, when you live in a Theocracy you can get punish for just about anything sexual or precieved as sexual.
May get LASHED? Have we gone back in time? Good heavens, people! Let's remember: this is a SOCCER GAME!
Why should it matter if they were gay? They would still be the same soccer players, and even more so, the same human beings. I just don't understand the thought-process of these people!

BOOZED-UP POSH KIDS KICKED MY BRIAN TO DEATH; DAD BLAMES DRINK CULTURE FOR MURDER OF HIS TEEN SON: Our boy died for no reason - LARRY MULVANEY YESTERDAY.
THE heartbroken parents of a teenager savagely beaten to death after a night out slammed Ireland's drink culture yesterday.
Devastated Larry and Annie Mulvaney tearfully told how their 19-year-old son Brian "died for no reason".
Brian Willoughby, 24, was yesterday found guilty of his murder and 18-year-old Stephen Aherne guilty of manslaughter.
A third man, 20-year-old Neal Barbour, who tripped up Brian Mulvaney during the March 2000 attack, was acquitted.
All three are from the upper-class Templeogue area of Dublin, but Aherne recently moved to Newbridge, Co Kildare.
Holding hands outside the Central Criminal Court, Mr and Mrs Mulvaney and their daughter Aoife, 18, told how the drink culture had contributed to Brian's death.
Mr Mulvaney from Firhouse, Dublin, said: "He died for no reason at the hands of guys he never met before.
"It's a problem that has to be addressed. Some people spend their nights going drinking for kicks - they pick on someone to beat up. It's a sad day when that happens."
But the couple vowed: "Life does not end for us today. They've killed our son but they won't destroy us."
During the three-and-a-half week trial, it was claimed the three acted together as a gang when they bludgeoned Brian to death. They all denied the charges.
Horrific evidence had been given about the victim's injuries by former State Pathologist Dr John Harbison.
They included 20 main injuries, five of which Brian sustained as he desperately tried to defend himself from the blows raining down on his body.
There were cuts to his face, neck, chin and shoulders, his eyelids and forehead were swollen and bruised and his right cheek "grossly swollen".
The main cause of death was due to a large amount of blood in his lungs which he could not cough up because he was knocked unconscious.
Heavy-set Willoughby, who showed no emotion as he was convicted of murder, was alleged to have told gardai that he said during the attack: "Ha, ha, ha, this is carnage boys, this is deadly." Brian's attacker had walked with him to the shops in Templeogue from a house party minutes before the attack.
Aherne had said in his statement he had been at the party and drank 10 pints of Budweiser and a Sambuca.
He told how he boxed Brian in the back of the head and "got a bit carried away", adding that Willoughby started hitting him with a plank.
Aherne said later: "I feel like s**t, I can't put it into words. I wasn't in my right mind when I did it. I shamed my mother and father and I feel horrible."
Willoughby's defence claimed he was not responsible for his actions because of his mental state.
Willoughby, who had been taking medication for mood swings and suffered from depression, told officers: "I was spaced out of my head, you know.
"That night I was not responsible for what I did, I had taken a mixture of drugs and drink.
"I was kicking him and jumping on his head when he was on the ground. I went berserk and I am sorry for the family." Brian died in Dublin's Tallaght Hospital two hours after the attack. It had been claimed that Willoughby, from Orwell Park, Templeogue, first met Brian at the party and was jealous of his relationship with a girl he liked.
Mr Justice Barry White told the five-man, seven-women jury when he was summing up the case: "He [Willoughby] blames the events of the night on hash and on gargle. He blames it on the fact that he was spaced out of his head."
Willoughby's mother had told the court her son had been an irritable baby, hyperactive and considered disruptive.
Constantly in trouble at school, he was often put out of class for daydreaming and not paying attention.
By the age of 12 he complained about hearing voices in his head and was frightened of death.
A psychiatrist said Willoughby, who often crouched over the court bench during evidence, was homophobic and had a strong hatred of homosexuals.
He said he had classical symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and because of his mental disorder did not know right from wrong. A doctor for the state, however, said that while Willoughby did suffer from an abnormality of the mind, he did have the capacity to know what he was doing.
There was a tense silence in the court at 4pm yesterday as the jury announced its verdict after seven hours of deliberation.
Mr Justice White said it had been a "difficult case" for everyone and excused the jury from service for the rest of their lives.
He added: "I would say that from my point of view, and I think from the point of view of every one of the lawyers involved, it is a verdict that everyone would agree with."
Mrs Mulvaney said: "I'm glad it's over, it's been very long. After three years of waiting it's good to get it over.
"Brian was full of life, he loved life and he was gorgeous. They [the convicted] are gurriers and scumbags. He loved life and he was a good guy.
"You do feel in court that it is very much in the defendants' favour, we are the victims.
"You have young people today going out for fun and part of their fun is to inflict pain on others and our society seems to accept that."
Willoughby, already serving five years in jail for two serious assaults, now faces life behind bars.
Aherne was remanded in custody for sentencing on May 26.

USRA Selected to Manage NASA's Education Associates Program
The EAP is designed to address a critical shortage of US students enrolled in and graduating from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs and to give NASA a flexible workforce augmentation option by providing internships to talented university students and faculty engaged in STEM studies and education. By offering talented students and faculty members the opportunity to gain valuable "hands on" experience working side-by-side with NASA scientists and engineers, the EAP expands career horizons for those students and enables faculty to update technical knowledge and critical skills. Benefits provided to program participants are complemented by benefits that the EAP provides to NASA by giving the agency a flexible method for tapping pools of technical talent represented by students and faculty at universities, community colleges, etc, to meet workforce needs and enhance the workforce development pipeline.
Working under a 5 year cooperative agreement with NASA Ames, USRA will bring to bear not only its recognized expertise in managing successful education and workforce development programs, but also its deep reach into the university community and its demonstrated ability to expand and diversify program participation in managing and enhancing the EAP. Through its work with a variety of other, similar education and workforce development programs, USRA will also be able to establish important synergies between EAP and other programs (e.g. NASA's Undergraduate Student Research Program) that will significantly strengthen the aerospace/space science workforce development pipeline.
"We are extremely proud to have been selected to be part of this very important program," said
"As an education and research focused association closely aligned with both NASA and the aerospace industry, USRA fully appreciates the critical role played by programs like the EAP," stated USRA President and CEO, Dr.

After turning me down for a CLI last month, Discover called today and took my information. Using a soft pull they gave me a CLI from $6500 to $8000. Yipee!
I had read about this happening to other people, but now it was me. I feel much better. I was kind of disappointed they turned me down in the first place.
I am doing a refi on the house, so I asked twice: I am only interested if it will be a soft pull. I do not want a hard pull because of the refinance. Will this be a soft pull? Are you sure? LOL.
Have you logged on to see if it went through?
I assume you took the proper precautions when they called you.
I would not give personal info to someone that called me, I would tell them I'll call the # on the back of the card, and what extension can I reach them at? Someone could easily get CL info if they got a hold of a credit report, and go phishing for the rest of the missing info.
Anyways congrats on the CLI, they have hooked me up with soft pull CLIs every 6 months a few times now.
Oh, it is there. They actually left a VM on my answering machine.The message was that they needed to speak with me regarding some recent correspondence from Discover and to call back the toll free number. They called two days in a row, and I thought maybe it was someting bad, so called back. I am very leary of giving away information over the phone, and I am glad you are reminding people about the dangers.

Nashville Based Marketing and Web Development Agency, Horton Group, Continues to Expand Web Development Team
Horton Group, located in downtown Nashville, has put together a diverse team of web developers to construct and implement websites using the Drupal platform for area businesses and organizations with wide varieties of functionality.
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) April 19, 2012
Horton Group has brought together a diverse and experienced web development team to provide businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs engaging and innovative websites solutions. Operating within the Drupal framework, an open source content management system, Horton Group develops websites to enable their clients to manage as much or as little content as they'd like. The Drupal community has an extensive network of developers across the world constantly contributing to and accessing a wealth of information.
Horton Group was first founded as a web design and development company in 1996 and is continually growing and building the web development team. Most of the sites built by Horton Group use Drupal because of the flexibility and the user friendly content management system. When asked why they are such fans of Drupal, Dan "the duke" DiPasquale explained, "The community that contributes to Drupal makes it infinitely diverse and it is always rapidly updating." Although they develop primarily in Drupal, the Horton Developers are well versed in a variety of web development platforms including, WordPress and Joomla!
Web developer, Matt Smith, noted, "Drupal's strength is that it was designed for flexibility and scale. It's more than a content management system, and yet it's modular architecture ensures that it's never more than you need." He went on to say, "Its intelligent functionality allows us to ensure that we can create an amazing and enjoyable user experience for our clients and their customers."
The team has evolved into a group of eight like-minded developers who congregate around a cluster of desks designated as "The Dev Lot." The name of their space in the Horton offices places emphasis on the collaborative spirit of teamwork, which is an essential part to every web development project they undertake. Smith stated, "We have a brilliant team that works together. We teach each other, we help each other, and we hold each other accountable."
Designing websites that are functional and allow customers to easily update and change content has been a core part of Horton Group's mission. However, Horton Group has grown to become more than just a web development and web design company since its beginnings in 1996. In over 15 years of operation Horton Group has branched out to include greater depth of services like search engine optimization and social media management. For those looking to strengthen brands and reach a wider audience they also provide media buying, email and mobile marketing services.
For more information on Horton Group and their web development services, contact Horton Group either by phone at 615-292-8642 or by email at info(at)Hortongroup(dot)com.

Researchers from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland (the NORDynamIC project group) have observed that depressive symptoms in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are commonly overlooked in routine clinical interviews, and that treatment-induced depression compromises the outcome of HCV therapy. A second U.S. study found that patients with chronic infection had lower (work) productivity and incurred higher medical benefit costs than those without HCV. Both studies are available in the August issue of Hepatology, a journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD).
HCV is a blood-born infection causing inflammation and destruction of liver cells. When inflammation lasts longer than six months there is ongoing liver cell injury which is defined as chronic HCV. The standard treatment protocol for chronic HCV is weekly injections of peg-interferon alfa-2a in combination with daily oral ribavirin for 24 to 48 weeks. However, this combination treatment can lead to major depression or other psychiatric complications in a number of HCV patients which may require premature termination of the antiviral therapy.
Peter Leutscher, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues estimated the value of routine medical interviews in diagnosing depression in chronic HCV patients receiving peg-interferon/ribavirin therapy using the Major Depression Inventory (MDI). The MDI is a self-rating depression scale with a dual functionality in diagnosing major depression and in measurement of depression severity. Of the 325 HCV patients enrolled in the study, 6% were observed with major depression at baseline. Among the remaining 306 patients, 37% (n=114) developed depression while on HCV combination therapy. "According to the MDI criteria, we found that only 32% of the 114 patients with major depression were correctly diagnosed during routine medical interviews," noted Dr. Leutscher.

8. Itau Unibanco Holding (ITUB) is one of the largest private banks in Brazil.
During the first quarter, Itau's buoyant credit growth boosted net income to $2.25 billion, up 9.3% year-over-year. However, profits declined as provisions grew 15% compared to the same period last year.
Total loans expanded 22%, higher than the Brazilian central bank's mandated range of 10% to 15% through March. Nevertheless, credit growth could be slower on interest rate hikes and the central bank's monetary curbs.Non-performing loans were flat quarter-on-quarter at 4.2% nevertheless, some deterioration was observed from smaller companies during the quarter. The bank's return on equity stood at around 22.7%. The stock is trading at 11 times its estimated 2011 earnings with an upside potential of 33% in the next one year. Of the 12 analysts covering the stock, 10 rate it a buy, as per a Bloomberg consensus.

Bringing rare pictures and insights about the earth and its oceans
NEW DELHI: To help the viewers explore the earth's largest water bodies and trace the impact of human activity on them over the years, Animal Planet is coming up with a brand new series, "Oceans", from on May 13. Combining expert photography and some rare insights into the subject, the eight-part series narrates intriguing stories like discovering the truth behind the rumours that the Mediterranean Sea has become a breeding ground for the Great White Shark and exploring ancient wrecks that tell tales of piracy in the past and present.
A team of intrepid adventurers -- explorer Paul Rose, maritime archaeologist Lucy Blue, marine biologist Tooni Mahto and conservationist Philippe Cousteau Jr. -- weave together the world of underwater archaeology, geology, marine biology and anthropology.
During their expeditions, the team stumbles upon local people whose lives and livelihood are completely dependent on the sea. Using the latest in scuba and submersible technology, the "Ocean" team of experts delves deeper than ever before.
"The Sea of Cortez", which beams on May 20, examines the impact of humans on this sea and throws light on how it changed over the years.
In "The Southern Ocean", which goes on the air on May 27, the team travels to the notoriously hostile Southern Ocean. Often described as "the lung of the planet", the Southern Ocean plays a significant role in regulating levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. But parts of it are warming twice as fast as the rest of the world's oceans.
Answering critical questions about our own past and the future of the oceans is the episode "Red Sea" due on June 3. The Red Sea is one of the warmest seas in the world, yet coral reefs flourish here. In the face of global warming, the series sets out to discover whether these waters hold the key to the future health of corals.
One of the most critical water bodies influencing our climate is the Atlantic Ocean. And in one of its corners lies crucial evidence about our past and future. "Atlantic Ocean", beaming on June 10, investigates the oldest living evidence of life on Earth.
Covering almost 15 per cent of the earth's surface, the Indian Ocean's remote corners contain some of the most pristine marine habitats. It is also surrounded by many of the world's populous nations. In "Indian Ocean", slated for June 17, the team sets out to discover the pressures that are changing this ocean and its resources. Shark fishing has been increasing at an alarming rate with tens of millions being caught each year worldwide.
Exploring what happens when the powerful Indian Ocean collides with the edge of a continent is the episode "The Indian Ocean – Coastal Waters" due on June 24. The team works with scientists to predict future weather patterns in this area. They also come face to face with one of this area's most mysterious creatures, the sea horse.
In "The Mediterranean Sea", to be shown on July 1, the team explores the profound effect of human activity on the endangered sea.
Any changes in the Arctic Ocean will have an enormous impact on the earth's oceans and on the planet's climate. In "Arctic Ocean", to be screened on July 7, the team finds out how the Arctic and its eco-system has been changing and thereby affecting the rest of the world.

Café Ballou's European charm lies in details like a squishy couch, pressed-tin ceiling, and marble tables. The inviting atmosphere at this café nestled in the Ukrainian Village, near Wicker Park, is a far cry from Starbucks. Choose from a menu of international sippers that are served according to tradition, like Turkish coffee brewed on a hot plate inside a mound of sand, or Russian tea drizzled with cherry compote. The friendly owner speaks fluent Polish and Ukrainian with her customers, many of whom are local neighborhood immigrants.
