• City seeks approval to tear down Michigan Inn
By TOM GANTERT
The Ann Arbor News
A judge scheduled a evidentiary hearing for Jan. 11 to determine whether the former Michigan Inn should be demolished, and gave the owner until Jan. 1 to put up a 10-foot tall fence along the perimeter.
The city of Ann Arbor has been trying to get the long-closed motel on a 4.6-acre parcel at 2800 Jackson Ave, razed, claiming it is a public nuisance.
Circuit Court Judge Melinda Morris said she wanted an evidentiary hearing before deciding on the fate. Until then, she ordered that the fence be put around the front and two sides of the property. The back side is fenced from Interstate 94.
City Attorney Stephen Postema cited 10 police reports since 2005 as evidence of the problems the property poses.
Dan Dever, attorney for Dale Newman who is director of Five Point Five Corp. that owns the site, said they would put up a fence and sell the property as soon as they get a reasonable offer.
Morris said that if a ruling were made to demolish the building, she felt it would be overturned since there was no testimony to date in the case. That's when she set the date for the hearing.
But the judge said the building was "unsightly" and added, "Any reasonable person would say it is an eyesore."
Afterwards, Dever refused comment, saying, "We won't try the case in the media."
According to the Washtenaw County Treasurer's Office, the property will be foreclosed on March 31 unless $23,000 in unpaid taxes from 2005 are paid.

Also, Megan wears lacy black lingerie while doing "housework."
Last night's epic double-episode premiere of Mad Men was a fabulous ode to sixties mod fashion, culminating with Megan's surprise birthday party for Don (40!) at their awesome Manhattan shag pad. (Seriously, with all that white carpeting and modular furniture, it was such a disappointment that their bed didn't rotate.) Don may not have been too happy about the party, but it gave everyone an excuse to dig out their most offensively patterned blazers (Pete!), violently colored dresses (Trudy!) and feathered accessories (Harry!). Meanwhile, poor Peggy wore an unfortunate yellow rose pin, and Joan made a triumphant post-baby visit to the office in neon pink.

A stone's throw from arguably the most spectacular beach in Britain sits a hotel that shares its name. But while Bedruthan Steps the beach is a spectacular feat of nature, its namesake is an altogether more low-key and unfussy family retreat.
It's the sister to the Scarlet, the eco-spa that's been grabbing a lot of attention a few yards further down the hill towards the altogether more traditional beach at Mawgan Porth. The Scarlet is the one to go to as a couple, ideally, flying into Newquay airport, a couple of miles along a few twisty lanes. This is the one you bring your kids to, driving south from Padstow.
It is a serious place for children; clean, unfussy and child-focused with a network of activity rooms knitted into the fabric and Ofsted-registered clubs. Outside, there's a play area with a mini football pitch and climbing frames. You can even take a room facing the beach, sit yourself next to the floor-to-ceiling windows and watch them play in the grounds.
From the outside the place looks a little dated. A low sprawl with a car park that spreads itself across the back and to either side belies a neat minimalist interior with rooms decorated in simple creams and browns: comfy, not luxurious.
There are apartments and villas, complete with their own sun-bathing balconies, if you want to nudge your way a little more up-market and a number of family-free rooms and an adults-only lounge.
Mawgan Porth itself is a quiet two-horse hamlet but Jamie Oliver's restaurant, 15 is only 20 minutes away at Watergate bay to the South, Rick Stein's Seafood restaurant is about the same distance north at Padstow.
As for the beach, it gets its name from the huge slate outcrops scattered along the sand, said to have been placed there by a giant of the same name for use as stepping stones.
The steps refer to the huge number you need to negotiate, at quite a steep incline and with the safety of a metal banister, to get down. A word of warning, if you have a problem with heights, you may find the climb back daunting.
Within the grounds of the hotel is The Surf Club where private lessons are given by Johnny Fryer, the current British Champion.
The club also offer nature walks to "secret" areas where you take swimming lessons at low tide.
RATES: £296 per person for three nights

Victoria and Alfred Hotel, Cape Townwritten by neja on 2012-07-25 #places
A hotel with the best ever view you could possibly ever wish for. While preparing for going to Cape Town, I obviously wanted to stay somewhere with a Table Mountain view. It is called such because of the clouds rolling across the top of the mountain, which looks like a table cloth. A lot of the hotels advertised "partial Table View", but in reality, you would have to hang out by the window with the possibility of a broken neck to see even a glimpse of this majestic mountain.8 10 Share Tweet

After spending nearly a month in a downtown Los Angeles jail, Redmond O'Neal was transferred Wednesday to a correctional facility in Castaic, Calif., where he is due to begin intensive drug treatment lasting a year.
"Apparently a judge wouldn't let him enter private rehab," L.A. sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore tells PEOPLE. "He'll be in this new jail location but will be in a program there designed for addicts to get off drugs."
Redmond, 24, the son of ailing Farrah Fawcett and Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O'Neal, has a lengthy rap sheet for drug crimes and was most recently arrested for bringing heroin into a jail parking lot. He was allowed to visit his mother for three hours on April 25.
A lawyer for Redmond had no comment.

Bankruptcy filings in Western New York dropped nearly 15 percent in May from a year ago, continuing a recent trend of declines.
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York reported 542 new petitions were filed last month in Buffalo and Rochester, down from 636 a year ago. It was the sixth consecutive year-over-year decline in new filings.
Buffalo accounted for 337 – or 53 percent – of the new petitions, while Rochester accounted for the other 205.
Across the district, the number of new filings for the first five months of the year was down 12 percent from the same period in 2012. In Buffalo alone, the total was down 13.4 percent.
Brad Davidzik, an attorney with Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys, said he believes a few factors are contributing to the ongoing drop in new filings.
One factor, he said, is the fallout from the housing crisis that spawned a wave of foreclosures. Davidzik said tougher scrutiny of lenders' foreclosure practices has slowed the process dramatically, and, by extension, could be prompting more individuals to delay filing for bankruptcy. "Even a foreclosure that does proceed takes a year or more," Davidzik said.
Similarly, he said, some people may have stopped paying their mortgages and are directing those payments to other bills and expenses, keeping them from needing to file for bankruptcy.
Another factor is stricter standards for credit, a climate that has prevented people from getting in over their heads in credit card debt or buying cars for dollar amounts beyond their means, Davidzik said.
Of the 337 new bankruptcy filings in May in Buffalo, 72 percent were non-business Chapter 7 cases. Those cases allow debtors to liquidate their assets to pay off debts and then erase any remaining amounts owed so they can start over.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
The Rader laboratory is focused on two major themes: 1) novel pathways regulating lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis inspired by unbiased studies of human genetics; 2) factors regulating the structure and function of high density lipoproteins and the process of reverse cholesterol transport and their relationship to atherosclerosis. A variety of basic cell and molecular laboratory techniques, mouse models, and translational research approaches are used in addressing these questions.
Some examples of ongoing projects are:
1) The roles of sortilin (gene SORT1) and tribbles-1 (gene TRIB1) in lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis. Variants at the SORT1 locus are among the most strongly associated with LDL cholesterol and (coronary artery disease) in the human genome, and variants at the TRIB1 locus are significantly associated with all major plasma lipid traits and CAD. A variety of tissue-specific deleted mouse models, gene targeting in iPS cells with differentiation to hepatocytes, and cell biologic and biochemical approaches are being employed.
2) Functional genomics and mechanistic studies of a number of additional genes at loci significantly associated with lipid and metabolic traits, CAD, or other cardiovascular traits. Most of these genes harbor rare coding variants associated with these traits. In addition to elucidating fundamental mechanisms by which the protein influences relevant biology, the influence of specific mutations on protein structure and function are being explored.
3) Molecular regulation of HDLmetabolism and reverse cholesterol transport using cells, mice, and humans
4) Deep phenotyping of humans with low-frequency and rare variants in genes influencing lipid and cardiovascular traits, including the generation of iPS cells and differentiation to a variety of relevant cell types

Tire Companies ...
Goddamn, another flat tire. The second one in the last three months and the third in the last year. And each time, its been the same thing - Three of four nails in the tire puncturing it and then the tire just getting slashed beyond repair.
Each time on I-40.
Something's fishy here. It almost gets me thinking that tire stores are going around throwing nails on the highway !

Robert Caruso's curator insight, June 22, 8:25 AM
Few would argue that we are not living in a time where entire industries and massive brands are being heavily disrupted. When solutions to old ways of doing things are combined with technology that facilitates innovative new ways of looking at and dealing with those problems, we tend to see market and digital disruption on a huge scale. Technology is often the driver for the innovation that we see today, yet business model changes and new marketing channels are combining to make this an even larger challenge for many.

«How To Get Those Golden Globe Lips -
It was all glamour and sophistication at last night's 2012 Golden Globe awards. I watched the stars traipse down the red carpet looking for the most part stunning (didn't care for Mila Kunis or Lea Michelle's look, but whatever.) What continually caught my eye was the general trend for simple make-up and muted or nude lips. Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Kate Beckinsale, Stacy Kiebler – they all kept their lips very neutral so that their eyes and fabulous dresses were the main focus. These soft lip looks made Hollywood's hottest women look beautiful, feminine and completely enviable.
Recreating lips like these is easy with the right lip stick and gloss.
The Hydrating Lipstick in Veronika by Jouer Cosmetics is the perfect neutral lip color. Its soft color has a slight shimmer to give your lips that star-like quality without being over the top. This smooth lipstick is made of moisturizing Brazilian Cupuacu Butter so it also protects your lips and provides beautifully smooth coverage.
Layer the Veronika with Armour Beauty's Gypsy Shimmer Lip Gloss. This sheer light peach gloss has a touch of gold shimmer to add shine and a little drama. The color and shine is ultra-feminine and long-lasting, perfect for a glamorous night out.

Who is Yehoodi? Someone please lend me a hand Solve this mystery if you can If he's mice or if he's man Who's Yehoodi? G-man Hoover's getting moody Got his men on double-duty Trying to find out who's Yehoodi Who's Yehoodi! The little man who wasn't there Said he heard him on the air No one seems to know from where ... But who's Yehoodi? The phrase "Who's Yehudi?" seems to have originated on Bob Hope's radio program in the late 1930s. Apparently, one night when violinist Yehudi Menuhin was a guest, Hope's sidekick Jerry Colonna repeatedly interjected the phrase whenever Hope's gags fell flat. On subsequent shows, Colonna continued to use the term to fill space, and for a while, Yehudi became a national catchphrase for "the man who wasn't there." A short musical film featuring Kay Kyser and his orchestra illustrates a more troubling yet familiar meaning for Yehudi. In the film, Kyser's singer, Lane Truesdale, sings in front of a portrait of a stage Jew who is wearing an obviously fake beard and black hat and holding a book. After the camera zooms in on her body, the camera cuts to the "portrait," who is leering at her. Cab Calloway's "Who's Yehoodi?" (written by Bill Seckler and Matt Dennis) hit the charts in 1940, an especially anti-Semitic era in America as well as in Europe. "G-man Hoover" refers to FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who, in the early 1920s, jailed and deported political radicals, including many Jews. Perhaps the song predicts that the FBI will ferret out ...
Title: Minnie the Moocher Musical genius: Cab Calloway Album: King of Hi-De-Ho 1934-1947
Cotton Club Orchestra, between 1930-34, don't know exact date. Singer, bandleader, dancer. Born Cabell Calloway III on December 25, 1907, in Rochester, New York. A charming, vibrant performer, Calloway is often associated with the jazz music of the 1930s. Sometimes called the "hi-de-hi-de-ho man," he perfected the art of scat singing, which uses nonsensical sounds to improvise melodies. After playing in Chicago, Calloway went to New York and landed a gig at Harlem's famed Cotton Club. As the bandleader of Cab Calloway and his Orchestra, he was a regular performer at the popular nightspot. In 1931, he scored a hit with the song "Minnie the Moocher," which is considered by some to be first recording to feature scat singing. His other hits included "Kickin' the Gong Around" (1931), "Moon Glow" (1934), and "The Jumpin' Jive" (1939). Besides his musical act, Calloway also appeared on stage and in films. During the 1930s and 1940s, he worked in such films as The Big Broadcast (1932), The Singing Kid (1936), and Stormy Weather (1943). Calloway spent two years in the cast of a revival of the musical Porgy and Bess, beginning in 1952. He also performed in other stage productions over the years and made more film appearances, most notably in the 1979 movie The Blues Brothers. During the film, Calloway put on his trademark white tie and tails and performed "Minnie the Moocher." Calloway died on November 18, 1994.
Betty Boop is an animated cartoon character created by Max Fleischer with contributions from animator Grim Natwick among others. She originally appeared in the Talkartoon and Betty Boop series of films which were produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures. She has also been featured in comic strips and mass merchandising. With her overt sexual appeal, Betty was a hit with film-goers, and despite having been toned down in the mid-1930s to appear more demure, she became one of best known cartoon characters in the world and remains popular today. "St. James Infirmary Blues" is based on an 18th century traditional English folk song called "The Unfortunate Rake" (also known as "The Unfortunate Lad" or "The Young Man Cut Down in His Prime"). There are numerous versions of the song throughout the English-speaking world. It also evolved into other American standards such as "The Streets of Laredo". "The Unfortunate Rake" is about a sailor who uses his money on prostitutes, and then dies of a venereal disease. Different versions of the song expand on this theme, variations typically feature a narrator telling the story of a youth "cut down in his prime" (occasionally "her prime") as a result of some morally questionable actions. For example, when the song moved to America, gambling and alcohol became common causes of the youth's death. The title is derived from St. James Hospital in London, a religious foundation for the treatment of leprosy. It was closed in ...

Fantastic swinging version of the tune by Cab Calloway and his Orchestra with solos by Walter Thomas (flute), De Priest Wheeler (trombone) and Eddie Barefield (clarinet).
This 1933 cartoon featuring Cab Calloway is remarkable for having been animated by a single individual, Roland C. Crandall, and is considered one of the best cartoons ever made. Crandall received the opportunity to make Snow White on his own as a reward for his several years of devotion to the Fleischer studio, and the resulting film is considered both his masterwork and an important milestone of The Golden Age of American animation. (See The 50 Greatest Cartoons, as Selected by 1000 Animation Professionals, edited by Jerry Beck, Turner Publishing, Inc., 1994.) You don't get to see any live action of Cab in "Snow White," which is too bad, but the animation is incredible and, of course, the music is Cab and his Orchestra at their best. First Cab sings "St. James Infirmary" in the rotoscoped guise of Koko the Clown. "St. James Infirmary" was Cab's original signature tune, but he wanted something written specifically for himself, so he and Irving Mills wrote "Minnie the Moocher" to supplant "St. James Infirmary." The two melodies are extremely similar, and also bear a close resemblance to "Prohibition Blues." "Snow White" ends with the old Missourians instrumental, "Stopping the Traffic." This plot, such as it is, is really more a framework to display a series of gags, musical selections, and clever animation. Critics have cited the film as having some of the most imaginative animation and background drawings from the Fleischer Studios artists ...

How smart would a veto have been?
To the editor: Salem Mayor Jerry Wolford's recent threat to veto a measure that Salem City Council had passed with unanimous consent, strictly regulating and limiting the future placement of so called "internet cafes" made no sense whatsoever. The supposed reason for the mayor's threatened veto was that, despite the fact that the ordinance assigns a $5,000 annual license fee to any future such sites, it failed to produce the amount of fees per machine or per computer as the mayor would have liked. How smart would a veto have been anyway? In the first place, these so called "internet cafes" are already the target of increased scrutiny by communities all over Ohio and all over the nation as they have become sites where illegal gambling can be brought into a community, where access to indecent web sites can be made available and where emails can be transmitted by criminals that don't want to have any trace back to their own personal computers. Maybe this is why Warren, Ohio, recently banned these sites altogether.
Is this what we want for Salem? No matter how much we can tax these so called internet "machines," do we really want these kinds of "cafes" populating our community, most especially near our schools and churches...or even next to bars where intoxicants can stumble in to gamble away what's left of their paycheck? Add this to the growing number of tattoo and body piercing parlors in town-and wow, what a message we are sending. Maybe the mayor would permit adult bookstores and topless bars in town if only we could tax them enough to support free health care and an even richer pension for everybody at city hall? While expanding the tax base of "internet cafes" might help with the mayor's short-term budget objectives, it would hardly be a sound or advisable long-term development strategy for this community.

Claims newspapers gave Johnson blackeye
To the editor: For the first time in maybe a century or more, we have a congressional office located in downtown Salem. With easy access to public parking at the corner of East State Street and Ellsworth Avenue, Congressman Bill Johnson, a Republican, had the temerity to open a district office in downtown Salem. He came to Salem to dedicate his new district office. What he got from the local newspapers was a black eye. By the headlines and lead news story of our local newspapers, you would think that the biggest news story of the day was the professional protesters, mostly Trumbull and Mahoning County paid SEIU union members, who attempted to disrupt the grand opening of the congressman's district office. Selective photos of these protesters overshadowed a lone photo of our new congressman talking to a local dairy farmer. And most of the news copy was about what the protesters thought.
The same negative news coverage occurred when Republican Governor John Kasich came to Salem a few months ago to celebrate the jobs expansion occurring at MAC Trailer. Never mind that the governor was there to recognize one of the leading employers in Salem... a creator of jobs! The bigger story in the newspapers was that there were a few malcontent Democrats and paid union hecklers out picketing the governor. The Democrats have had plenty of time to screw things up for this region of Ohio. Just look at Youngstown if you want to see the ultimate and final result of a city ruled by Democrats for the past 50 years. Is that what we want for Salem? Or for the whole area?
Making a huge negative out of a congressman's official dedication of a new district office hardly seems right and certainly serves no positive purpose. Frankly, it is a disservice to this community, regardless of one's political persuasion.

Thanks for supporting picnic held for vets
To the editor: On Friday, Aug. 12, the Veterans Appreciation Picnic took place in Calcutta Square. We, the committee for this picnic, thank all businesses, service organizations, clubs, and individuals who gave so generously to make the picnic a big success. The ones who need to be recognized the most are the veterans. We tend to forget the price they have already paid. They signed their life over to the United States government when they enlisted. Some came back home, some did not. What many of us fail to realize is: so many of the veterans among us are still paying for their service. They still carry their battle scars to this day. Veterans, this picnic was to show appreciation to you, true heroes, the men and women who have given their lives for our country.

Upset with beating of World War II vet
To the editor: Nothing I have read in a long time was as disturbing as the article in Friday's paper, where the "born a male" beat up his neighbor, a WWII vet. I felt sick reading that! What is this world coming to? Just a week ago we honored our WWII vets in a parade here in Salem, my father-in-law among them. People cheered as they went down the street, some cried. A well deserved reception!
Back to "born a male." I refuse to call him a man, he can be glad I don't make the call on his punishment! As for Mr. Kastelic, sir, I don't know you, but I'm keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. God bless you.

Update from mother of injured girl
To the editor: It was one year on Aug. 15 that a reckless driver from West Point, Ohio, ran over my daughter Melinda "Mindy" Michael. She is doing much better now. She still has a long way to go but she will make it. She is up and walking down by the playground again so if you are in the area and see her stop and say hi.
We would like to say thank you to all friends and family that kept her in their prayers and thoughts and to everyone that sent her gifts and came to see her, thank you so much. And a very special thank you to Dustin Wilson, Rev. Matt Camlin, Bishop Randy Ogden, Elwood Fox, Bob Weber and Sherry Emery for all of their help. These people went out of their way to help at the time of the accident and after the accident. Thank you all so very very much.

Appreciates support for Festival, Parade
To the editor: On behalf of the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce's Retail and Business Association, we would like to thank the wonderful volunteers and business contributors who helped support this year's International Festival and Salem Grande Parade. It was a funfilled weekend of family oriented activities that was enjoyed by hundreds of Salem residents and visitors. We are very appreciative of the hard work from so many. Kudos to the I-Fest committee of the Chamber who includes Bill and Lisa Cartwright, Camille Franzen, Susan Frenger, Ginger Grilli, Janet Keene, Dr. Michael Traina, and Rita O'Leary. This group of volunteers has been working together as a team since earlier this year and they successfully brought an outstanding event to our community that was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended the festivities. Additional helpers to be acknowledged include Jim Wenderoth, Carl Romeo, Connie Frenger, Candie Cain, and Kay Thompson. A big round of applause goes out to Ken Gross from Julian Electric for going above and beyond the call of duty. His expertise was invaluable the initial day of the festival. Many thanks are also extended to the Salem Parks Department, Doug Moffett of the Salem City Traffic and Safety Department, Mike Bibbee of the City Electrical Department, the Salem Utilities Department, and to Davidson's Towing for their assistance, as well. Water from Huntington Bank was donated and we are very appreciative of their generosity. The stage decor from Diamond Cut Landscaping and Garden Center was beautiful and we thank them for the use of their plants. Pre-festival advertising was generously sponsored by Scot Darling of the Farm and Dairy and we thank Mary Ann Greier for the excellent coverage in the Salem News. The hilarious comedian and juggler, Mike Hemmelgarn, was graciously hosted by Ginger Grilli and Rick Drummond and we thank them for their warm hospitality. A special cultural display was sponsored by the Salem Historical Society and it was a wonderful representation of the ethnic background of the residents of our community. We give a special acknowledgment to our Salem Historical Society friends who always coordinate activities with the chamber. A new activity was added to the schedule of this year's festival, a "Meet the Quakers" rally. We would like to thank the following teams for their participation: SHS Girls JV/Varsity Soccer teams, the SHS Girls JV/Varsity Volleyball teams, SHS Girls JV/Varsity Golf Teams, the SHS Boys JV/Varsity Soccer teams, the SHS JV/Varsity Cheerleaders, and the SHS Pep Band. It was fantastic to see the community pride and spirit as each player was introduced to the crowd. Thanks to the coaches, players, the cheerleaders and to the band for attending this pep rally. It is our hope that we will have even more teams at next year's event. A hearty round of applause goes out to the Grande Parade Committee, chaired by Mel Lippiatt. This year's theme was "Celebrating Salem's Heritage and Freedom" and the patriotic spirit was prevalent among the units and the audience. A special dedication was made to veterans on the 70th year anniversary of World War II. We give recognition to the VFW Post # 45, the Salem AMVETS, and to KLG Ambulance for providing transportation and for hosting and welcoming the vets to Salem. Other Grande Parade committee members to be thanked include Dave Coy, Roland Dennison, Ernie Greenisen, Anita Lloyd, Kathy Montleone, Dave Sprouse, Jim Bonfert, and Jerry Wright. This year many helpers were sought and we thank them for their assistance. Those individuals include Bill and Lela McClaren, Allan and Jane Avnet, Don Kemp, and Diane Foreman. Thanks, also, to the Salem Area Amateur Radio Association for their help. We acknowledge and thank the financial donors that sponsored the 2011 Grande Parade. A grant was awarded to the chamber from the Salem Rotary Foundation to help sponsor the high school bands who marched in this year's parade. The generosity of this group enables us to provide a donation to each of the high school bands to cover costs. Thanks to several others who provided a donation, including the Hannah E. Mullins School of Practical Nursing, Salem Community Hospital, Salem Fun Factory, the Columbiana Area Republican Club, Salem Area Visiting Nurse Association, and Salem Computer Center. We extend a special thank you to Bob Hickey from Hickey Metal Fabrication for use of his military jeep for us to ride in during the parade. Other vehicles for the parade committee and Chamber members were provided by Stadium GM and Salem Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler, and we thank them for the use of these beautiful convertibles. Lastly, we thank everyone who came out and supported the International Festival and the Grande Parade. It was a wonderful weekend and it was great to see everyone. If you are interested in getting involved with the planning and coordinating of one of these events during the summer of 2012, please call the Chamber office at 330-337-3473 and talk to Executive Director, Audrey Null or Administrative Assistant Tammy Peppel.
