Former ASU football player opens popular pizza establishment in central Phoenix
PHOENIX — From throwing around opposing quarterbacks to starring on the big screen, former ASU football player Greg Joelson has made quite a name for himself since leaving Tempe back in 1988.
But Joelson, who won a Super Bowl in 1991 as a member of the San Francisco 49ers, has come back to town to give football fans a new reason to cheer.
This week, the former ASU linebacker opened up a new Papa Murphy's location Monday located in central Phoenix's Squaw Peak Plaza.
As owner of Papa Murphy's, the country's largest and fastest growing take 'n' bake pizza chain, Joelson has expressed a strong interest in giving back to the community in ways that go well beyond just serving pizza.
"We are ready to go, not just to serve great, fresh pizza but to make a difference in our community," Joelson said in a press release. The store is already working with local causes such as Phoenix Children's Hospital, VetTix and St. Vincent de Paul."
Learn more about Joelson's store and all of the other Papa Murphy locations around the Valley.

Washington, DC - Nov 5, 2013 - The Enforcement Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission took action against Turner Broadcasting System and reached agreement with Kentucky television station WNKY for apparent misuse of the actual Emergency Alert System (EAS) tones or close simulations of those sounds. The FCC also issued an enforcement advisory to address growing concern about the misuse of these sounds to capture audience attention during advertisements and at other times when there is no emergency or test. The Advisory reemphasizes the wide-ranging and long-standing bar on such abuses and the potential for sanctions in the case of violations.
"Today's enforcement action sends a strong message: the FCC will not tolerate misuse or abuse of the Emergency Alert System," said Enforcement Bureau Acting Chief Robert H. Ratcliffe. "It is inexcusable to trivialize the sounds specifically used to notify viewers of the dangers of an incoming tornado or to alert them to be on the lookout for a kidnapped child, merely to advertise a talk show or a clothing store. This activity not only undermines the very purpose of a unique set of emergency alert signals, but is a clear violation of the law," added Ratcliffe.
The FCC has prohibited the transmission of actual or simulated EAS attention signals or tones under any circumstances other than a real alert or an authorized test of the EAS system for two decades, but there has been a recent spike in consumer complaints about misuse of the sounds.
In response to a consumer complaint about a promotion for the Conan O'Brien Show carried on the TBS cable network, the Enforcement Bureau initiated an investigation. Turner provided a recording of the promotion and additional viewer complaints. Review of the recording established that the promotion includes audio material that constitutes a simulation of the prescribed EAS codes and attention signal. A $25,000 notice of apparent liability has therefore been issued to Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
The Enforcement Bureau also initiated an investigation in response to a consumer complaint about an advertisement broadcast by WNKY-TV in Bowling Green, KY. The complaint alleged misuse of the EAS attention signal in an advertisement for The Fan Wear and More Store. Station licensee, MMK License LLC, did not dispute that it broadcast a simulation of an EAS sound within that advertisement, and cooperated with the FCC to negotiate a settlement. As a result of those negotiations, MMK has agreed to pay a $39,000 voluntary contribution and to implement a robust compliance plan that will help prevent future violations of the Commission's EAS rules. In coordination with local public safety and emergency responders, MMK also voluntarily initiated a public education campaign to inform its viewers about EAS alerts.

CGI Group lands $142 million John Hancock contract
CGI Group has been awarded a $142-million, seven-year contract to provide infrastructure services and consolidate the U.S. data centres of John Hancock Financial, a subsidiary of Manulife Financial.
Share via Email
CGI Group has been awarded a $142-million, seven-year contract to provide infrastructure services and consolidate the U.S. data centres of John Hancock Financial, a subsidiary of Manulife Financial.
The Montreal-based IT services company said Wednesday it will consolidate three data centres run by John Hancock in New England with its two locations in Montreal.
The result will be two data centres operated by CGI in Andover, Mass., and downtown Boston.
The change won't result in job losses and the affected John Hancock employees will be transferred to CGI, which is investing to grow its base of operations in the New England area.
CGI will also provide its "infrastructure as a service" that will allow John Hancock to manage day-to-day operations for its clients and partners, through CGI's operations.
The contract is an expansion and extension of the last contract with John Hancock and Manulife, which has been a customer since 2004.
CGI will take over the remaining two-thirds of the infrastructure management functions that have been performed in-house by John Hancock for its U.S. business units.
Allan Hackney, John Hancock's chief information officer, said CGI's service will provide "significant efficiency improvements for our application teams."
"CGI's team listened closely and crafted a solution that was carefully tailored to our specific needs," he stated. "Additionally, the low-risk service transition plan was a clear differentiator for us."

Goodbye Lyrics
Artist: Martina McBride
Album: Emotion
(Patty Griffin)
Occurred to me the other day
You been gone now a couple years
Well I guess it takes a while
For someone to really disappear
And I remember where I was
When the word came about you
It was a day much like today
The sky was bright and wide and blue
And I wonder where you are
And if the pains ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say good-bye
Today my heart is big and sore
It's trying to put right through my skin
Won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinking in
Cause you can't make somebody see
With the simple words you say
All their beauty from within
Sometimes they just look away
And I wonder where you are
And if the pains ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say good-bye

Arc of Spokane consolidating in former Inland Power site
Downstairs portion will serve as community center
Arc of Spokane will consolidate its programs for the developmentally disabled next spring into the former Inland Power and Light Co. building at 320 E. Second Ave.
Executive Director Greg Falk said Walker Construction began $1.7 million in upgrades to the building last month.
Some of the office space on the main floor will be kept intact, he said, but the remainder of that floor will be reconfigured. The downstairs where the technical staff worked and trucks were garaged will be converted into a community center, he said. The floors will be connected by a new elevator.
Falk said there would be little change to the exterior.
Arc bought the building in February for $1.4 million with the expectation the purchase and improvements would be paid for with grants and the proceeds from the sale of its two existing buildings.
He said Arc sold its main building at 127 W. Boone Ave. in February, but the sale of a second at 116 W. Indiana Ave. fell through when the prospective buyer, a tenant, could not get funding.
Arc has received no other offers, he said, but the tenant remains in the building.
The Spokane Housing Authority just broke ground on the full renovation project of the former Martindale Apartments in Hillyard.
The project involves converting two adjacent buildings at 5313 N. Regal St. into 51 affordable and low-cost apartments.
The first building, erected in 1912, served as the Hillyard High School. The attached second building was a gym and auditorium, built in 1922.
The $6.5 million renovation will be done by Spokane-based Walker Construction.
The goal is to dedicate the finished building in early 2012, 100 years after the high school first opened, said Steve Cervantes, the housing authority's executive director.
After receiving comments from the Hillyard Neighborhood Council, the housing agency decided to rename the building the Agnes Kehoe Place, in honor of the woman who saved the old high school from condemnation in the 1930s.
It was converted to apartments in the 1940s and renamed the Martindale. It fell into disrepair over the decades and was purchased for $750,000 in 2005 with help from the Spokane Community Housing Association. It has been vacant since mid-2008.
Washington state has approved a $2.5 million loan to the housing authority for the project. US Bank is providing additional capital, Cervantes said.
Plans call for about 25 units for homeless people, including some for veterans. Twelve will be for households with incomes below 40 percent of the median family income.
Savory ready at last
Delayed two months by start-up issues, South Hill restaurant Savory will start serving lunches and dinners on Monday, said general manager Scott Nelson. It's taken over the former Blockbuster Video store at 1314 S. Grand Blvd.
Nelson said the cuisine will be contemporary American. Hours will be 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to close on Friday and Saturday.
Dog day care opens
Doggyland Daycare, at 11712 E. Montgomery Ave. in Spokane Valley, opened recently to provide dog care and training six days a week, said general manager Janette McKenna.
The facility, which shares the building used by Northwest Gymnastics Academy, has two rec rooms, allowing separate care for large or smaller canines.
The business also has an outdoor wading pool and a heated indoor play area.
Among its specialized services is biofeedback treatment, which requires an appointment, according to McKenna.

Steven Weber Celebrity Watchlist
Boyishly handsome with a winning smile, this native New Yorker started out in theater before he began booking TV gigs, including a one-year stint on the soap As the World Turns, which introduced him to his first wife, Finn Carter. But 1990 was Weber's breakthrough year: Not only did he earn kudos for his portrayal of JFK in the miniseries The Kennedys of Massachusetts, he landed his signature role as a goofy, girl-crazy pilot on Wings. During his tenure on the lightweight sitcom, Weber popped up in a variety of film roles that showcased his undeniable charm: a cheating boyfriend in Single White Female, a gay man who swears off sex in Jeffrey and a comedic vampire hunter in Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Yet his affable attributes seemed diminished on the big screen, and TV remained Weber's medium. He was chilling in his devilish turn as a murderous husband in the miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Shining,' the first in a string of successful small-screen collaborations with the horror icon. In the '00s, Weber tried tackling his own eponymous sitcom, which was prophetically renamed Cursed before being canceled, and returned to his old stage stomping grounds in the Broadway musical The Producers. After a couple of failed series and a slew of guest spots, he snagged his best role in years, as a hard-nosed TV executive on Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, a series set behind the scenes of a late-night sketch-comedy show that proved surprisingly short-lived. The ABC mystery Happy Town didn't fare any better, but Weber remained a TV fixture nonetheless, putting in guest stints on a number of popular series, including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Brothers & Sisters.

Harvey's Back
Latest hijinks: 30-second nudes on a bus
From the October, 2009 issue
The swarms of maize-clad football fans weren't the only ones stopping traffic around Michigan Stadium after the U-M's win over Western Michigan in September. Ann Arbor's most notorious photographer, Harvey Drouillard, was at it again--photographing nude models for his new book, Mission Skinpossible. Two women and one man shed their clothes while crossing the street at Stadium and Main, walking away from the stadium's back door down Greene, and standing atop a maize and blue bus on Fifth Avenue.

Jats remove blockade but talks with govt failed
New Delhi/Lucknow: The Jats, agitating for
job quota, on Saturday withdrew their fortnight-long blockade from
the railway tracks following an Allahabad High Court order
wbut a crucial meeting between the protesters and the
government failed to find an amicable solution to the demand.
Emerging from a meeting with Home Minister P Chidambaram
and Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Mukul Wasnik, All
India Jat Aarakshan Samiti chief Yashpal Malik said they have
decided to allow movement of trains following yesterday`s
Allahabad High court order and removed tents from the tracks.
"The government accepted that the demand of job quota for
the Jats is justified. But the government did not give any
commitment on the time-limit on implementation of our demand,"
he told reporters outside the Home Ministry amidst
sloganeering by his supporters.
Malik said that as of now their agitation was continuing
and would decide about their course of action after holding
a meeting with the community elders soon.
Secretary to the Union Ministry of Social Justice and
Empowerment K M Acharya said the demand for inclusion of Jats
into the central government list of OBCs has to be taken by
the Backward Castes Commission, for which the government
cannot give any time-bound commitment as the Commission was an
independent entity.
"There is no final solution. They have not given any
assurance on withdrawal of the talks. We told them that any
decision of the Commission would be implemented by the
government urgently. It is not possible for the government to
give a time limit," he said.
Asked what would be the government`s response if the
protesting Jats renew their blockade on the railway tracks,
Acharya said "since law and order is a state subject, we hope
that the concerned state government will take the necessary
steps for smooth flow of train and road traffic".
On an Allahabad High Court order asking the protesting
Jats to lift the blockade of the rail tracks, the Jats
allowed movement of trains at Moradabad railway station and
also lifted the blockade on the national highway.
The agitation to demand reservation in central government
jobs began on March 5 and had thrown train services out of
gear forcing the Railways to cancel dozens of trains passing
through the area enroute Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
Taking suo motu cognisance of public inconvenience caused
by the ongoing Jat agitation, the Allahabad High Court had
yesterday directed officials of Uttar Pradesh and the Central
government to clear railway tracks and national highways of
the protesters.

"For Olmert to shrug off this statement is an act of blatant arrogance" No Kate, Olmert senses Hamas' weakness and he's waiting for more, like an open admission of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish State. Yes, a Jewish State, in answer to the above Israeli who mentioned 35% non-Jews. The majority culture is what counts. Hebrew language the official language, Jewish holidays the State holidays (like Christmas and Easter in the Christian World and 'Id al-Adha in the Muslim World). No national autonomy for any other ethnic group. Do Mexicans and Koreans in the US enjoy autonomy?

0 to 007mph: Aston Martin £25,000 super bicycle that uses car technology that James Bond would be proud of
It takes seven people two weeks to make and costs £25,000 to buy.
And the high-tech gadgetry on Aston Martin's new road bike could just be enough to tempt James Bond onto two wheels.
Dubbed the 'world's most technologically advanced' bike, the elegant One-77 was based on the firm's £1 million namesake supercar and was launched earlier this month.
Scroll down for video
Project manager Simon Roberts poses with the new Aston Martin super cycle, which comes with a £25,000 price tag
And while 007 won't find any on-board rockets at his disposal, there is more than enough to impress even the most dedicated of cyclists.
An on-board computer and touchscreen display details 100 items of information including speed, temperature, rate of climb and power. It also measures ECG, respiration rate and core body temperature.
The state-of-the-art bike even has a Bluetooth connection to share data with smartphones and other devices.
Dubbed the 'world's most technologically advanced' bike, the elegant One-77 was based on the firm's £1 million namesake supercar and was launched earlier this month
But, in common with its automotive namesake, there will only be 77 ever made.
And while the £25,000 may seem steep to most the firm which built the bike has already received four orders from Australia, Japan and Brazil and seven more inquiries.
The bike was designed and built by Norfolk-based company Factor Bikes which makes components for the motorsport and aerospace industries.
The firm, a subsidiary of bf1systems, has spent the last year developing the One-77 bicycle at their technical centre in Diss.
A team of 15 specialists began work last year to design and make the bicycle on behalf of Aston Martin.
Despite the wallet-busting cost, the firm which built the bike has already received four orders from Australia, Japan and Brazil and seven more inquiries
Simon Roberts, project manager at Factor Bikes, said: 'We are using a lot of electronics in the bike to take lab data measurements on the road and there are components we use in motorsport that we have adapted for the One-77.
'The cranks measure the left and right leg power 200 times a second and the electronics on the handle bars measure things like GPS, heart rate, temperature, humidity, and altitude.'
The cutting-edge road bike, one of the world's most expensive, comes in seven different colours, including classic racing green.
Staff at Factor Bikes are already working on their next generation bike, which is set to be launched at the end of the year.
The firm and bf1systems provide components for vehicles in Formula 1, Indycar, World Rally and Moto GP and has a client list including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Aston Martin and Maserati.
