MILWAUKEE — Some customers are so angry with an auto repair shop, they came to FOX6's Contact 6 for help.
From the outside, Unique Custom Car Care on 24th and Capitol looks good. The shop is under new management, just like the other location at 90th and Brown Deer Road.
Customers came to Contact 6 with complaints they had their cars stuck there for months, and say their rides are now worse off.
"They said 'everything works, except that we just can't start it.' I said 'I know why y'all can't start it. Y'all taking parts off my truck!'" Jackie Jordan said.
"My car did start up when I brought it in, it just over heated, but now I can't even start it up. They took the battery out and I had to go get a new battery," Kendra Armstrong said.
Contact 6 has received seven other similar complaints — most filed this spring. Digging deeper, Contact 6 found frustrations running extremely high.
"The guy that brought the car he says 'I want my car fixed right and I want it fixed now!' He said 'I want the owner of that shop and everybody to come out here and I'm going to whoop their ass one by one or if not I'm gonna shoot this place all across!'" Jordan said.
Customers threatened violence, but it was the owner who pulled the trigger. Anthony Smith confessed to shooting a man who came in to see about his sister's car. The criminal complaint says Smith and the man got into an argument and Smith told everyone else to leave the shop. Then, Smith took out a nine millimeter and shot the guy in the left leg, above the knee.
Smith is out on bond and scheduled to be sentenced in August.
"He really needs to be exposed and punished for what he's doing!" Armstrong said.
When neither Smith nor his wife responded to Contact 6's letters and calls, Contact 6's Katrina Cravy went to talk with them.
The receptionist didn't respond, and then realized Contact 6 wasn't leaving.
Cravy was sent outside and back inside several times, but Smith wasn't there.
After more than six minutes of getting the runaround, a man who had been working on a car came forward, introducing himself as the manager — Mark Bagniewski.
Bagniewski admitted the shops have had problems and Smith and his wife hired him recently to clean it up.
"As far as their involvement with the business, it's very limited. I kinda take it all over and report back to them. You can't change the past but I can try and fix the future," Bagniewski said.
Smith's wife called Contact 6 later and said customers were to blame, and she wasn't going to give any refunds.
When it comes to finding a good mechanic, Contact 6 says:
- get referrals from people you trust
- check companies out with the Better Business Bureau before doing business
- check CCAP for any court cases involving the business or owners

AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARKS — Director of the National Park Service Jon Jarvis visited Mississippi State Tuesday, giving a public address in the evening titled, "National Parks & American Values: A Field Guide." The director described how the national treasures embody American values from freedom, as demonstrated at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa., to leadership, as demonstrated at Mount Rushmore and the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial at the National Mall. He described many of the nation's parks as "American cathedrals" which were set aside for the enjoyment of all citizens. Photos available at facebook.com/msstate.

Staffordshire fire chief's £7,000 bonus branded as "utterly deplorable" by FBU
Posted: July 17, 2014|
Staffordshire fire authority leaders have voted to give the service's chief a £7,385 bonus – in the middle of a firefighters' strike.
Chief Fire Officer Peter Dartford is being given a one-off "recognition payment" for his work in raising the profile of the service and maintaining safety standards.
The move has been branded as "utterly deplorable" by the Fire Brigades Union.
The award was approved by Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Authority members in a meeting behind closed doors this week.

Mr Dartford's salary of £144,873 a year is unchanged. He has not had a pay rise since 2008.
Fire authority chairman Len Bloomer said that during that time annual savings of around £400,000 had been made by cutting the senior management team.
"In 2013 we sought external advice on the chief fire officer's salary to ensure it was in line with other chief executive public sector salaries," Mr Bloomer said.
"On this advice the decision was taken that a recognition payment would be considered during the chief fire officer's annual appraisal."
He said the payment was discussed in a session closed to members of the public because it was "in relation to personal terms and conditions which are excluded from publication under the Local Government Act".
He said the "vast majority" of authority members approved the payment.
But Stafford borough and county councillor Frank Chapman was among those voting against what he said was an "inappropriate and insensitive" payment.
And FBU regional officer Andy Dennis commented: "We find it utterly deplorable that Mr Dartford can secretly secure himself a substantial fat cat pay rise in a time of austerity when our members are facing low pay rises, after a series of pay freezes, and also facing attacks on their pensions and terms and conditions of employment."

James Schlesinger, a former director of the CIA, makes a critical observation about the Iran National Intelligence Estimate in a Wall Street Journal op-ed today. The intelligence community, burned by the presence of speculation in some of its previous NIEs, stuck to the "hard facts" this time around. "Many in the intelligence community," he writes, "embrace this as a return to virtue":
Yet in itself it has severe drawbacks. As in this case, reading the key judgments may now require something akin to Cliffs Notes listing other relevant events and considerations that may be necessary in interpreting an Estimate limited to the hard evidence.
Exclusive reliance on hard evidence not infrequently results in deliberately blinding oneself to the most obvious explanation of what has occurred. The classic example of this failing occurred during the Vietnam War, when intelligence analysts stubbornly refused to accept that enemy supplies were pouring through Sihanoukville ostensibly on the grounds that there was no hard evidence. (Actually, there was an agent's report that revealed the activity, but it was dismissed as insufficient.) Intelligence based on hard evidence requires supplementation by other forms of intelligence.
"Failures of imagination," to which the 9-11 Commission referred, can come in a variety of modes.
Reading the entire op-ed requires a paid subscription to the Wall Street Journal site, which is a pity, since it is by far the liveliest and most informative editorial page going. For the sake of informing public opinion and avoiding future "failures of imagination," let's hope that reports are accurate that the new owner of the newspaper, Rupert Murdoch, plans to reverse course and offer content for free.

Freeby Advances to Finals of Steeplechase at NCAA Championships
Sets Personal Record of 10:37.36 in Prelims
LA CROSSE, WIS. -- Sophomore Michaela Freeby (Milwaukie, OR/Rex Putnam HS) of Willamette University qualified for the finals of the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2013 NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships by taking second place in her preliminary heat on Thursday, May 23 at Roger Harring Stadium.
Freeby achieved a personal record time of 10:37.36 and finished just .23 behind Heat #2 winner and defending national champion Keri Lambert from Amherst College (Mass.). Freeby took more than one-half second off her previous top time of 10:37.91, set at the West Coast Invitational on May 11.
Lambert registered the best time of the prelims at 10:37.13. Alyssa Smith from SUNY Geneseo (N.Y.) won Heat #1 in 10:38.47.
The top five runners in each heat plus the next four fastest times advanced to the finals, which will be held on Saturday, May 25 at 1:45 p.m. CDT/11:45 a.m. PDT.
Taylor Ostrander (Fr., Soldotna, AK/Kenai Central HS), who also represented Willamette in the steeplechase, finished 22nd overall with a time of 11:22.31. Ostrander was the only freshman competing in the event.
Freeby is making her second consecutive trip to the NCAA championship finals in the steeplechase. Last year, she took 13th place as a freshman.
Also competing for Willamette on Thursday were Kit Kingstad (Jr., Beaverton, OR/Beaverton HS) in the men's 1,500-meter run and Carson Kennedy (So., Forest Grove, OR/Forest Grove HS) in the decathlon.
Kingstad took 17th place in the 1,500 with a time of 3:55.89. It was the second consecutive year that Kingstad competed at the NCAA Championships in the 1,500. He earned 16th place in 2012.
In the decathlon, Kennedy was 18th after five events with 2,659 points. He tied for 10th in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.39 seconds, tied for sixth in the high jump at 6' 0", and was eighth in the 400-meter dash in 51.57 seconds. He threw 32' 10.25" in the shot put and did not register a distance in the long jump.
The final five events in the decathlon will be held on Friday, May 24, starting with the 110-meter hurdles at 2 p.m. CDT/12 p.m. PDT. A 30-minute break will follow each event, with the discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw and 1,500-meter run completing the multi-event competition.

A Love Letter to C.C. White0
2014 Passes here.
Dear C.C.:
Moments of true connection often elude me. I buy into the illusion of ego that I am alone. Tonight, however, as I attend your kirtan, you remind me as we chant the names of the Divine that no separation exists, that we are all one. You reminded me that it in our humanness—with its jagged edges—that we fully express our divinity. Through you willingness to show up at the Denver Chant Fest in the wake of great loss, and I mean really, vulnerably, authentically show up, you remind me that we are here, as Dakini Ma said in her opening remarks, "to rise each other up." You remind me that we are strongest when we are vulnerable, because it is in our most vulnerable times that we remember to reach out for support and community. We are here, at Denver Chant Fest and in this lifetime, to support one another and to love one another. You asked tonight for hugs and the opportunity to express love to each other. This blog is my expression of love. I send you light and love just as I know you send light and love to each and every one of us in the audience tonight (the buzz is palpable!). My heart is full in this moment, of gratitude for the gifts that you share and of the knowingness that I have been raised up.
- Erin Mathiason

PFM Group Names Robert J. Delany as Finance Chief
Sept. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Robert J. Delany will become PFM Group's chief financial officer and managing director in the financial adviser's Philadelphia headquarters, according to a statement from the company.
Delany was previously the CFO of Sciens Capital Management LLC in New York, PFM said today in the statement. Earlier, he was chief operating officer for Europe at American Financial Realty Trust/European Financial Realty.
"Orchestrating and funding PFM's strategic growth involves many complex and demanding tasks, and we sought an executive with broad experience in many areas of finance," John H. Bonow, PFM's chief executive officer, said in the statement. "Rob is such a professional and we are eager to work with him."
PFM Group is the parent of Public Financial Management, the largest investment adviser in the U.S. municipal bond market. The unit was ranked first in proceeds and number of deals among advisers in 2011 by Thomson Reuters. The unit worked on 757 transactions involving $39.6 billion last year, according to Thomson Reuters.
Delany lives in Maple Glen, Pennsylvania.

Totally Bogus: Missing Persons and Tommy Tutone Cancel VooDoo Lounge Show
Categories: This Just In
The '80s-tastic double bill of Missing Persons and Tommy Tutone, which was supposed to be at Harrah's VooDoo Lounge in Maryland Heights next Friday, January 16, is totally cancelled. Bogus. Here's the critpick I just finished writing (note to self: check the g-damn show schedule before wasting your time).
-- Annie Zaleski
Tommy Tutone makes no effort to hide what keeps the band immortal: The intro on its official website is an audio/video montage featuring the ringing pop hit "Jenny (867-5309)." But the act is more than just a one-hit wonder, even though lead vocalist Tommy Heath is the only permanent member of the group. Three early '80s albums also spawned the top 40 tune "Angel Say No," and in recent years Heath and a revolving band of pals respectably performed Blink 182's "All the Small Things" on the TV show Hit Me Baby One More Time. Missing Persons -- which now amounts to chipmunk-voiced Dale Bozzio and a backing band -- also appeared on the show covering Kylie Minogue. Unsurprisingly, Bozzio's effortless sexuality and her renditions of the neon-lit new-wave tunes "Words," "Walking in L.A." and the underrated "Mental Hopscotch" continue to cement the band's appeal.
"Mental Hopscotch":

The Vizio XWR100 is a newly designed wireless dual band router from Vizio. It is actually categorized as an accessory that is specially designed for the home entertainment. This router will satisfy the users with all the needs regarding wireless networking more than the expected level. It lacks the support to the Gigabit Ethernet with which it would have been one among the best routers within the budget. It has a Web based interface which is quite easy and responsive but it lacks the depth in regard to the management of the router settings. The network storage functions of the router is subpar in the features as well as in performance.
The XWR100 has a design that is similar to the design of Linksys E2000. it has a flat, sleek and UFO like casing that attracts the finger prints to a large extent. The antennae of the router are well hidden within its chassis. This makes the entire package to be compact when compared with the routers of the same size with external antennae. There are four rubber feet at the bottom of the router that help to keep the device grounded on any type of surface. It also has some slots on the bottom in order to keep it mounted to a wall.
The top edge towards the front has an array of white colored LED status indicator lights. These are visible only when they are lit. These indicators show the status of the ports and connections of the router. The back side has a WAN port and four 10/100 LAN ports. The Gigabit Ethernet support is lacking. This a frustrating lack as the device is designed to connect the multimedia devices. This means that there are lots of digital data streaming. There is also a USB port on the back. Besides the USB port, there is a Wi-Fi Protected Setup button which starts a time window for 2 minutes during which the WPS enabled devices enter the wireless network of the router.
Ease of Use
The Vizio does not include any manual or software. It just includes a Quick Start guide which alone is required to get started. This poster includes setup steps and well instructed photos. The process of setting up the device is short and simple. The only step that is to be done is connecting the router to a computer, power and internet source. The router operates with a couple of separate wireless networks known as Vizio and Vizio HD by default. The former is in 2.4 GHz band and the latter is in 5 GHz band. The default encryption keys for the two networks are printed on the guide. The default settings of the networks can be customized further along with the features of the router with the Web interface. This can be done from a computer that is connected to the router by logging in to http://vizio.home. It can also be pointed to, 192.168.1.1, the default IP address of the router
The Web interface of the XWR100 celebrity news is segregated in to three parts: Wireless, Router and Internet. Each of these parts allows the users to customize the particular settings of the router aforementioned wireless networks. Third account can also be turned to use for the guests or to host the legacy slow clients. The interface is responsive and intuitive. It has most of the feature. There is no in-depth configuration however. The router can host USB external hard drives that are formatted in the NTFS and FAT 32. it can anyway read the NTFS drives alone. This is a main drawback of the router.
The XWR100 has excellent range and signal stability. It has a steady connection for up to 30 feet. It is different from the other routers with the in built network storage function as it does not have enough storage throughput. When this function is tested with a network cable and some external hard drives, the router produced a write speed of 36 Mbps and a read speed of 60 Mbps respectively. These speeds are comparatively reasonable. The router can handle the light file sharing and the media streaming at these rates. If the users require the network storage for sure, then it recommended using a dedicated NAS server.

Most people don't realize that there are any options beside the cheap DIY grade paint roller handles that can be found in almost any big box store. They apply paint to the wall just fine, especially if the DIYer springs for the nicer roller covers. However, cutting in around windows and getting paint into corners is just plain impossible with these rollers. Still there are ways around this problem. You can cut in with a brush first and then go back and roll the rest of the walls.
Recently, I discovered a trick the pros use - a professional paint roller. Those little plastic end caps that keep the rollers from getting into the corners are missing on these rollers. That means that you need to do less cutting in and you can avoid using the brush to paint corners all together. However, you'll still need to paint the area where the wall connects to the ceiling and crevices that are too tight for the roller to get into by hand. If your baseboard trim is already installed, you may also want to cut in around the baseboard with a brush, too.
When you shop for a paint roller handle and covers, you should start by thinking about the job you are buying them for. The traditional short roller is fine for normal walls. If you are doing a cathedral ceiling, though, you may want to look for a rod extension. This extension screws into the handle and makes it much easier to reach higher spots.
Next, think about the texture on the walls. There are covers that work better with different wall surfaces. For instance, popcorn finishes need a roller that can handle that rough, uneven surface without falling apart and there are special roller covers for this type of wall.
You can also find covers that create a pattern. These covers make certain faux painting techniques much easier, since rolling is so much quicker than stenciling or freehand painting a design.

"Now that I know God is not willing that any should perish I can truly love him."
Steve Walters, at age 16
This message of God's love has been like a breath of fresh air to me. For the past four or five years I've been bogged down with teaching of Gods wrath and hatred for sin that I started to believe that almost nobody would be saved. I believed that you had to be 100% in-love and sold out to God when you die or God would turn his back on you and throw you into Hell. I feared God and tried to obey so I wouldn't go to Hell. I couldn't fall in love with God because I was too afraid of him.
Now that I know the degree of his love I am able to just enjoy him and enjoy life. I don't need to spend all of my life watching my step and letting sin run my life, but just let God do in me what he wants. I feel a lot more free in my life, from sin and to be myself.
I am now starting to taste true freedom, of which I never could when I was running from sin. Now that I know God is not willing that any should perish I can truly love him.
Steve Walters

More than 36,000 auto parts jobs are at risk in Missouri.
In an interview this morning on KMOX-CBS radio in St. Louis, Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) Executive Director Scott Paul explained that the U.S. auto parts sector comprises a very surprising 75% of the overall jobs in the U.S. automotive industry.
That adds up to roughly 1.6 million jobs throughout the U.S., with more than 36,000 of them in Missouri.
These auto parts jobs are an important part of America's industrial economy. Unfortunately, they are coming under fire due to heavily subsized competition from China.
In an op-ed in this morning's St. Louis Post Dispatch, Paul said that China is utilizing massive subsidies, and blocking market access, in order to undercut America's auto parts producers:
China is not penetrating our market the old-fashioned way, by outcompeting us. Instead, Beijing has pumped $27 billion of subsidies into its auto-parts sector, with an additional $10 billion planned. And through policies that have been documented in great detail by our own government and outside investigators, China blocks our exports of autos and auto parts while favoring its own industry, in direct violation of the commitments it made to free markets when it joined the World Trade Organization.
Paul says that this heavy susidization, combined with trade barriers, is helping China to seize market share in the U.S.
What's needed to help the U.S. auto parts industry is for the president to launch a "trade action against China to stop its auto-parts subsidies" while also presing China to "open its market" in order to grow jobs in the U.S.

St Neots music lover Kevin Redman, who lost his dad to cancer and now helping his brother fight same disease, launches Northern Soul night to raise money
Posted: April 26, 2014|
A MUSIC lover lost his father to prostate cancer – then found out his brother had the same disease.
Kevin Redman, of St Neots, said: "Four years ago my father passed away from prostate cancer then my brother got it. It was hard."
After the death of his father Peter at the age of 77, he found out last September that his brother Barry, 55, also had the disease.
Ever since he has been trying to raise money for his brother and other sufferers of the disease, and hit on the idea of having a live music night.
As a big fan of the music genre Northern Soul – which emerged in the north of England in the 1960s – he decided that should be the theme.
Kevin said: "I'm a big fan. I started going when I was 12. My brother – he's three years older – dragged me along to my first all-nighter in St Ives in 1973. I've loved it ever since.
"They call it the soul family. It's like a big family; when someone's poorly everyone rallies round to help."
The event he put on was Northern Soul Against Cancer and it was a phenomenal success.
Mr Redman said: "Since the event it has just kicked on and on. We've got our own website up and running and we're selling merchandise.
"We've got people from all over getting in touch – people from Edinburgh, Cyprus, but then also people locally – wanting to get an event on."
Although it was a intended to be a one-off soul night, it was so successful Mr Redman has decided to keep it going.
The organisation has put its logo on a patch and a pin and both are proving popular.
The group have now given away "near enough £9,000" and recently gave a cheque for £2,250 to the Woodlands Centre at Hinchingbrooke Hospital.
Mr Redman added: "When I first came up with the idea I said to my wife 'we might make £800'.
"But from the small acorn of the idea we've got this great oak tree."
They now aim to raise £5,000 annually.
Anyone interested in supporting the cause with donations or volunteering at events should contact Kevin via northernsoulagainstcancer.co.uk.

Jakarta's new administration says it is considering a new regulation that will award public bus drivers up to Rp 5 million ($522) in monthly payment, as well as a pilot-like work system.
Newly-elected Jakarta Deputy Governor Basuki T. "Ahok" Purnama said the current system, in which bus drivers must pay a certain amount of earnings to bus owners or managers every day and take home only what's left, has made them drive recklessly.
Drivers of public buses and minibuses, such as Metrominis and Kopajas, commonly race with one another in order to get more passengers and meet their daily quota, as well as bring more money home. A Metromini driver commonly earns around Rp 1.5 million per month under the current system.
"[The new work] system will resemble [the one in place] for pilots. They may [take a break] after landing four times, [and] they don't need to pay [a] daily quota. This is expected to reduce accidents," Ahok told journalists at City Hall on Monday.
He said salaries might range from Rp 3.5 million to Rp 5 million per month, with drivers serving longer routes receiving higher pays.
Ahok added that the city administration will integrate smaller public bus networks with TransJakarta buses and ban public buses from waiting for passengers on the roads.
"We'll discuss this in the next three months," Ahok said, as quoted by the Indonesian news portal detik.com.

The Rome Braves scored five runs in the seventh inning to erase a 3-2 deficit and cruised to an 8-4 win Friday night over the Charleston RiverDogs in South Atlantic League action in front of 5,768 fans at Joe Riley Park.
The RiverDogs fell to 34-33 in the second half and 73-62 overall. The Braves improved to 36-31 and 72-64.
Both teams played long ball early with solo homers by Edison Sanchez for Rome and Ericson Leonora for Charleston in the second inning.
Still tied at 1-1 in the top of the fifth, Kyle Wren smacked his second home run of the year to put the Braves up 2-1.
The lead didn't last long. After a walk to Greg Bird, Dante Bichette Jr. slammed his 11th homer of the year. The two-run shot gave the Dogs their first lead of the game at 3-2.
RiverDogs' starter Brett Gerritse departed after six solid innings, having allowed just four hits, two runs, two walks and six strikeouts.
Righty Victor Beriguete came out of the bullpen to begin the seventh and was no relief for Charleston. In his debut for the Dogs, Beriguete allowed five runs — four earned — on three hits, two walks and two wild pitches, while recording just one out. He got tagged with the loss to fall to 1-0.
Bird led the RiverDogs with three walks and a single. He now has a league-leading 103 walks this season.
Coming up
RHP Luis Niebla (4-6, 4.99 ERA) starts for Charleston on Saturday.

SYDNEY—The anti-whaling ship Steve Irwin has stopped its pursuit of the Japanese whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean to return to port for refuelling.
The Shepherd Conservation Society vessel's captain, Paul Watson, said the Irwin's efforts so far had been successful in stopping the Japanese whale hunt.
"We have engaged them, we have stopped their whaling activities for two weeks and we have successfully chased them out of the Australian Antarctic Territorial waters," he said in a statement.
"We now have to return to land to refuel.
"We don't have the luxury of refuelling at sea like the Japanese fleet has," Capt Watson said.
"We don't have the resources to operate two ships down here and we don't have the support of Greenpeace to relieve us.
"We are doing the best we can with the resources available to us and we are having a significant impact on their kills."
The Steve Irwin had chased the Japanese fleet for two weeks and for more than 3,000km from the extreme Western end of their hunting territory near Commonwealth Bay in the Australian Antarctic Territory, to the Eastern side of the Ross Sea, Capt Watson said.
The vessel would now return to the nearest available port to refuel before heading back out in pursuit of the fleet again as quickly as possible, he said.
The Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR) in Tokyo last week accused Sea Shepherd activists on the Steve Irwin of launching an attack on the whale-spotting vessel Kaiko Maru, just after it had completed a day of research activities.
The ICR said protesters from the Steve Irwin threw about 15 bottles of acid and bottles containing a bluish-green liquid at their vessel on December 27.
It also accused the activists of engaging in several hours of dangerous close harassment and of ramming the Kaiko Maru.
Capt Watson said the Steve Irwin got close enough to throw around 10 bottles of rotten butter and 15 of a mixture of methyl cellulose and indelible dye at the Japanese ship during an encounter in which the two vessels struck each other without causing serious damage.
Sea Shepherd said it was behaving legally and accused the whaling ship of entering Australia's economic exclusion zone.
The Japanese whaling fleet plans to kill about 1,000 whales this summer, using a loophole in a 1986 global whaling moratorium that allows "lethal research" on the ocean giants.
The Australian Government has appealed for calm on the high seas.

Cyclists' concern over £900k revamp of Cambridge's Hills Road junction
Posted: March 05, 2013|
Cyclists could be allowed to move off first as part of a £900,000 redesign of one of Cambridge's most notorious junctions – but campaigners say the changes don't go far enough.
The controversial revamp of the crossroads of Hills Road, Gonville Place, Lensfield Road and Regent Street – a known accident black spot – was approved by Cambridgeshire County Council's cabinet today, subject to funding.
Members were told the junction could become the first in the UK where cyclists would have their own traffic signal allowing them to cross the junction safely before motorised traffic can move off, if the Government approves.
However, Cambridge Cycling Campaign said there needed to be priority cycle lanes on every approach.
Outside the meeting, chairman Martin Lucas-Smith said: "Stuffing evermore traffic through this accident-prone junction clearly remains the priority.
"We think this is totally inappropriate for a 'cycling city', and against its own policy to favour cycling and walking.
"The scheme is better than the current junction design, but it would be hard to make it otherwise."
On the Hills Road approach, the central reservation will be removed to allow for creation of a central cycle lane, and the underused left-hand turn lane and small traffic island will be removed.
The kerb will be pulled back on the Catholic church corner, making it easier for buses and lorries to turn, and allowing for creation of a new, larger traffic island on the Lensfield Road approach.
On the Regent Street side, the left-hand turn lane will be removed, and the small traffic island will go, allowing construction of a new, larger traffic island on the Gonville Place approach.
'Trixi' mirrors will be mounted on traffic light poles to make it easier for lorry drivers to see cyclists.
Out of 282 consultation responses, 51 per cent of people supported the changes, while 21 per cent were opposed.
Cllr Martin Curtis, the council's cycling tsar, told the meeting the changes would make the junction safer for all road users.
He said: "If we take this that step further in terms of what Cambridge Cycling Campaign is looking at, the impact on road traffic would be significant and my view is that if we did that we would start to get a situation where the junction is even more unsafe."

In an effort to help manage violence in the Manchester community, Southern New Hampshire University's advertising students will present their ideas to the Makin' It Happen Violence Prevention Work Group on ways to spread anti-violence messages to elementary, junior high and high school students. The presentations will be held in SNHU's advertising lab on Thursday, Dec. 14, at 9 a.m.
The Makin' It Happen Violence Prevention Work Group is a group of service providers and organizations that looks at ways to prevent youth violence in the Manchester community.
The class goal was to inform students that "violence is not cool" by designing a new logo, pledge posters, anti-violence school posters and bus posters, said Dr. Patricia Spirou, professor of advertising. The designs contain many messages regarding the cause and effects of violence.
"The project promotes learning through active participation in service experiences," Spirou said. "It extends learning beyond the classroom and into the community."
Spirou's classes have in the past worked on campaigns for the American Red Cross, the Amoskeag Business Incubator, the Manchester Convention and Visitor Bureau, the Manchester Boys and Girls Club and Concord Hospital, just to name a few.
The presentations are free and open to the public. Please contact Dr. Patricia Spirou at 603.644.3170, or email@example.com for additional information.

Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.

Fyodor Raskolnikov
Fyodor Fyodorovich Raskolnikov (Russian: Фёдор Фёдорович Раскольников; (28 January 1892, Saint Petersburg, Russia – 12 September 1939, Nice, France),[1] real name Fyodor Ilyin (Russian: Фёдор Ильин), was a Bolshevik, participant in the October Revolution, commander of Red fleets on the Caspian and the Baltic during the Russian Civil War, and later a Soviet diplomat.[1] The pseudonym Raskolnikov most probably came from Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov,[citation needed] the fictional protagonist of Crime and Punishment, the novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Early life[edit]
Fyodor Raskolnikov was born to a general's daughter, A. V. Ilyina, and an Orthodox priest F.A. Petrov[2] (according to other sources, archpriest Sergushenkov[1]). Alternatively, "... his father was Fedor Ilyin, a progressive St. Petersburg churchman, a widower who could not legally remarry and whose sons were therefore technically illegitimate. The Ilyin family life was fairly normal ..."[3] He graduated from Prince Oldenburgsky Orphanage,[2] studied at Saint Petersburg Polytechnical Institute, and then at the Midshipman (gardemarin) School in Saint Petersburg.[1]
In 1910 he entered the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. In 1917 he received the Naval rank of Midshipman (michman) but he did not participate in World War I.[1]
In March 1917 he was sent to the sea fortress of Kronstadt, where he edited the newspaper Golos Pravdy (Voice of Truth): an incarnation of the forbidden at that time Pravda newspaper.[1] He was one of the organizers of the Kronstadt Mutiny in July 1917. He was arrested by troops loyal to the Russian Provisional Government but released on October 11, 1917, a few weeks before the October Revolution.[1]
Remainder of the revolution[edit]
In November 1917 Raskolnikov with a group of Kronstadt seamen was sent to fight anti-Bolshevik insurgents in Moscow. He was elected to the Russian Constituent Assembly. On 29 January 1918 he became the deputy Narkom of "Naval Affairs".[1] In July 1918, he was sent to the Eastern Front, as the Commissar (member of Revvoeyensovet) of the Eastern Front. On the Eastern Front, he commanded (since August 1918) the Red Volga Flotilla, which participated in the Kazan Operation.[4]
Raskolnikov was promoted to membership of the Revvoeyensovet of RSFSR on (September 2, 1918). At the end of 1918 he became the deputy commander of the 7th Army and the Commissar of the Baltic Fleet.[1]
Some time during 1918, Raskolnikov married Larisa Reisner.
While commanding a fleet consisting of a battleship, cruiser and two destroyers that was supposed to counter the British fleet, he became a prisoner of war when his destroyer Spartak was captured by the Royal Navy in the beginning of 1919.[1] On May 27, 1919 he was exchanged for 17 British prisoners of war and became the commander of the Caspian Flotilla.[1]
Under his command the flotilla attacked the British base at Enzeli, on the 18th of May 1920.[5]
Soviet service[edit]
During the Trade Union debate (1920) Raskolnikov supported Leon Trotsky. In June 1920 – January 1921 Raskolnikov commanded the Baltic Fleet. During his tenure relations between the commanding officers and seamen deteriorated and ended with the Kronstadt Rebellion. A month later Raskolnikov was removed from that command.[1]
During 1921–1923 Raskolnikov was the ambassador to Afghanistan (the first country that established diplomatic relations with RSFSR). Raskolnikov's actions caused a diplomatic rift with Great Britain and the British government insisted on his removal. Eventually he was replaced.[1]
From 1930 Raskolnikov was the plenipotentiary representative to Estonia, then Denmark, then Bulgaria.
In March 1938 he was recalled to the USSR, but on April 1 refused to return. In 1939 he published his famous Open Letter to Stalin, and promptly died from "falling out of a window." According to historian Roy Medvedev he might have been assassinated by NKVD agents.[1] There are theories that the assassin might have been Sergei Efron, husband of the poet Marina Tsvetayeva.[2]
Raskolnikov was posthumously rehabilitated in 1963.[1]
Literary career[edit]
During 1924–1930 Raskolnikov was the editor-in-chief of the literary magazine "Molodaya Gvardiya" (later also publishing house Moskovsky Rabochy). From 1928 he was the chairman of the Repertory Committee, the de facto main censor of theatre and cinematography. He also wrote his own play Robespierre which even servile critics labelled "dry and boring".[1]

The nearby MARTA Rail Station provides access to some of Atlanta's main attractions, like the World of Coca-Cola and Buckhead, the city's happening nightlife quarter. The area is dense with restaurants and shopping, and several of the area's cultural attractions -- including the Woodruff Arts Center and the High Museum of Art -- are within walking distance.
Located directly north of Downtown, Midtown feels both an extension of the financial district and the opposite of it. Modern corporate buildings and renovated mansions share the same space in this somewhat eclectic area, also a hub for Atlanta's gay community. The Fox Theatre, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Piedmont Park, the Woodruff Arts Center, and the High Museum of Art, make this one of the top tourist areas in town -- but without the crowds and the traffic of Downtown.
This 102-room boutique in Midtown Atlanta blends some of its original 1920's Spanish architecture with modern, stylish interior decor. The Artmore's garden courtyard, with brown wicker lounge chairs and a stone fountain, is a highlight, and offers shelter from the city's hubbub. Rooms are upscale, with bright decor in shades of red, white, and cream, and come with up-to-date technology: flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and free Wi-Fi. But the hotel lacks an on-site restaurant and pool, and you'll have to drive to see the sites in Downtown Atlanta.

Dos Santos: Overeem Deserves A Beating Not A Title | UFC NEWS
"If UFC wanted me to fight Overeem I'd gladly shut him up because he's been saying a lot of crap, he's been learning from Chael Sonnen. I'm tired of these guys who think they're so big, so strong, so bad and that people will get frightened by them because they look bad. There's no such thing anymore. We're athletes and the winner will be the one who trains the most. That's what I have to say about it. I really told Dana White I'd love to fight Overeem. Beating Overeem, actually. That's what's going to happen when this bout actually happens. It would be a pleasure. From the way I see it, he didn't deserve a title shot. Cain deserves it and that's why we're fighting. Overeem deserves to a beating and I'm going to arrange that."
UFC heavyweight champion, Junior dos Santos tells Brazilian media outlet, Tatame.com, that he would be happy to give Alistair OVereem the beating he deserves.
Is this rivalry brewing stronger by the day?

Can't wait for someone to get Ko'd – no chance reem jds is goin past 2 rounds.
Then again Cain might smash Jds if he gets him down!
Wouldn't that be awesome? Not that I want JDS to lose, but if he does, then he's free to fight Overreem immediately after his suspension is up without anyone questioning "does reem deserve a title shot." JDS fans win no matter what after the next championship fight 😀
Read this article on FightersOnly this morning yet theirs was longer had more back story about Overeem but yea would love to see JDS vs Overeem more than JDS Vs Cain 2
I disagree, Overeem did deserve the title shot, however nothing can be said, because it was he himself that screwed himself out of it. He pissed hot and that's the end of the story.
Granted, he's doing everything he can to fight as soon as Dec. I believe.
& you can tell JDS feels threatened by Reem. He implied it in pre-fight pressers. He knows how good Reem is at striking and said, we may see him go for a TD.
Anyway, this was the most anticipated fight if not foty worthy.
These guys are easily the No. 1 & 2 HW's of the world.
IMO, I honestly don't want to see another Cain vs. JDS
But Reem vs. JDS f*ck yeah!
Someone is going to sleep no doubt.
& this will not be a 'walk in the park' fight for JDS neither.
Anyway, the brass have 'got to' make this fight happen asap.
HW title is boring, no star power and you can't market it the way you could if Reem had the belt. If JDS wants the fight as much as he's acting they'll put it together but I don't think he wants it, he'd rather fight Cain again.
Are you serious? JDS is a star, and is becoming one of their biggest stars. Hes puts everyone to sleep unless the have iron jaws(nelson and carwin).
JDS is gonna get knocked the fuck out when he fights Overeem
The Reem will be facing manslaughter charges next year. On a serious note these are both my favourite fighters, I hope its a good fight, I love the heavyweights, the BIG BOYS (I am a heavyweight proportioned person) and I can't wait to see these two throw down. Its going to be massive (like Reems upper torso).
I want to see cain vs overeem first am i the only one?
nope I agree to that too
I can't wait until overeem gets KTFO.AGAIN…….
cain vs overeem for #1 contender. Perfect situation. They both need 1 big win. If it was up to dana it would be jds vs brock or jds vs chael suckit. Stop ruining ufc.
Brock is retired homie.
jds will break overeem's jaw.
overeem vs cain sounds more exciting

Through a public records request, The Clarion-Ledger was able to confirm that former Jackson Police Department officer Marcus Wright has been hired by the Hinds County Sheriff's Department and that he is a sergeant in charge of the sheriff's internal affairs department.
Wright was one of former Mayor Frank Melton's body guards and played a role in the warrantless raid on an alleged crackhouse in that left the structure damaged.
Wright eventually pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor conspiracy charge in 2009, paid a fine and was prohibited from working in law enforcement for a year.
So why is this an issue of concern now? Wright paid his debt to society, waited out his year and has been re-employed.
The point that seems to be somehow missed by Sheriff Tyrone Lewis and Wright's defenders, who believe it's Wright who is being targeted in some unnecessary media scrutiny, is that law enforcement personnel are public employees, paid by taxpayers and ultimately answerable to them.
Lewis made the issue bigger than it needed to be by refusing to just acknowledge the hiring and, perhaps, adding some commentary on his confidence in Wright.
His stonewalling showed a lack of understanding that the public has a right to know what's going on in government, including law enforcement, or a disrespect for that concept. And, unintentionally, it made it appear that he wasn't that confident that it was a solid hire. Neither of these outcomes may have been what Lewis was thinking, but he left the door open for those conclusions.
Some may protest that with any kind of criminal record, Wright shouldn't be in a position to investigate possible wrongdoing by other deputies, but that becomes a judgment call by Lewis, whose performance and decisions ultimately will be weighed by voters.
We believe he will fare well in the future if he adopts a more open policy in dealing with the public through the media.
