A SHOPLIFTER has avoided jail despite repeatedly failing to do community punishments and continuing to offend.
York magistrates told Lee Paul Haigh, 40, to improve his abilities to find a job instead.
He was before them for breaching a community order for the third time and stealing a £35 bottle of whisky from Marks & Spencer's Pavement store while subject to it.
The order of a drug rehabilitation requirement, supervision and a curfew was imposed in November to replace another community order containing unpaid work for shop thefts, which probation officers had said was unworkable. Haigh hadn't done the unpaid work because he was mentally ill.
The whisky theft breached a conditional discharge for possessing drugs, imposed in January.
The bench heard their colleagues had extended the replacement community order because Haigh had twice been out of his home during curfew hours. He was now not attending supervision appointments. They also heard that they could revoke the order completely and send him to prison instead for all offences.
Haigh, of Rosemary Place, off Navigation Road in York, admitted the third community order breach, the whisky theft and breaching the conditional discharge.
Magistrates added five days of job hunting activity and a 12-hour nightly curfew for 28 days to the order for the theft and community order breach. They gave him no punishment for breaching the conditional discharge, which will continue.
For Haigh, Craig Robertson said: "Shopkeepers in York are not shouting about this man. He is not offending regularly."
He said Haigh was making progress, had settled accommodation and had dealt with his depression. He was doing the drug rehabilitation and had distanced himself from the drug culture he had been part of. If he was locked up, he would be associating again with drug users, he said.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Traditionally, alpine ski star Lindsey Vonn has been something of a summer workout fiend.
This past March, she came up just three points shy of what would have been a fourth straight overall World Cup overall title, denied in part because bad weather forced the cancellation of the season's final race, a giant slalom in Lenzerheide, Switerland. Maria Riesch of Germany, who is Lindsey's very good friend, won the overall.
Watch out, world.
Because this summer? Lindsey was saying in a phone call from Chile, where there's snow: "I have had the most motivated summer I have ever had." Maybe, she said, she took two weeks off — total.
On Friday night, Lindsey was named the USOC sportswoman of the year for her 2010 campaign, which included that third World Cup overall and two Olympic medals, gold in the downhill and bronze in the super-G.
Evan Lysacek, who also won gold at those Vancouver Games in men's figure skating, was named the USOC sportsman of the year; the bobsled team piloted by Steve Holcomb won the team of the year. Lysacek and Holcomb were both here to accept their awards, Lysacek announcing he intends to go for the Sochi 2014 Games, Holcomb saying he wants to keep on going through Pyeongchang and 2018.
It's not that Lindsey didn't want to be here as well. She sent a video thank-you in which she said she was "excited" to be an Olympic athlete and "hopefully represented the Olympic values," and anyone who has ever observed the many times Lindsey has stopped to patiently and graciously pose for photos or sign autographs for her younger fans knows she understands full well the reach of those Olympic values.
The USOC award was Lindsey's second in a row. "There are so many amazing athletes out there," she was saying on the phone. "I am incredibly honored to be mentioned in the same category with them. To have won this award two years in a row is more than I could have hoped for. I really appreciate it."
This attitude is no act.
This is not the stuff of locker-room cliché.
This is real Lindsey.
"You can never take anything for granted," she said. "Sometimes it's easy to get comfortable. You can never be satisfied. You always have to be hungry. That was one of the things I have definitely learned over the last few seasons.
"And it is very much a learning process. There's a reason people are veterans. They have been around a while. They have figured it out. Every year I have learned something. I am a much more mature skier and a much more mature person than I was even last year."
To recap the 2011 season:
In early February, Lindsey suffered a concussion. That forced her to take some time off.
When she resumed skiing, she decided to simply ski with abandon, reasoning she had nothing to lose — she was that far down in the standings.
In late February, at the World Cup stop in Sweden, Lindsey was 216 points down.
By the time the season ended, and the weather canceled that final giant slalom in Lenzerheide, Lindsey had closed the gap to just three points — Riesch ending with 1,728, Vonn with 1,725.
"I was disappointed," Lindsey said. "To say the least."
In May, she went to the USOC's training center near San Diego, to work on both her explosive power and her agility. She said, "It's similar to what I did last year. But a more intense program this year."
After that month, she went to Europe, to "really disconnect from the world and get hunkered down and get a good block of conditioning training."
Then it was to New Zealand, to get there ahead of the U.S. team, to get "a lot of really good info on equipment and get feeling really good, really strong in all events."
"Right now we're finishing up in Chile," she said, literally finishing up, dashing out when the phone call ended after three weeks of downhill and super-G training, and a fair amount of that with the guys.
"I feel like this summer has gone really well," Lindsey said. "I am extremely motivated for another season."
Watch out, world.

TRIAL BY MEDIA IS WRONG! STOP THE SPIN!: Headline News (HLN) Nancy Grace, Jane Velez-Mitchell, Jean Casarez, Vinnie Politan, Dr. Drew!
I started this petition over a year ago after I began watching the Jodi Arias trial. I believe Jodi was wrongfully convicted for many reasons. Presently, she is accepting donations for her appeals fund at http:www.justice4jodi.com.
***Since this petition was started, the coverage and the hate mob has grown! Now, the expert witnesses from the trial are becoming the subject of their slander and hate. Dr. Richard Samuels and Alyce Laviolette have both been attacked with vicious, scathing, and defamatory words online through various modes, including Amazon.com!
Signing this petition is important because the commentary by HLN's Nancy Grace, Jane Velez-Mitchell, Jean Casarez, Vinnie Politan, and Dr. Drew on the State Vs. Jodi Arias trial is purposely misleading and often completely false and designed to create a sensationalized mass movement against Jodi Arias to increase viewers and increase ad revenue profit!
Their statements have been slanderous and through facebook and other written outlets, libelous. Their comments and opinions are often from unverified anecdotal evidence that viewers are taking as fact,none the wiser. Nancy Grace is the leader of "trial by media". They are not concerned about justice based on the truth, but on a sensational witch hunt for profit.
It is a travesty for them to call themselves journalists.
Also, please visit "Inconvenient Truths" on facebook for more facts relating to the case. https://www.facebook.com/InconvenientTruthsTV?ref=tn_tnmn
With all due respect to the family of Travis Alexander, this petition supports justice being delivered in this trial, via the judge and jury system, NOT through the sensational and misleading statements by these hosts and others at HLN, sadly designed and calculated soley to boost their ratings, and create revenue for the station. It is a sad commentary and we believe, these shows, are at their core, disrespectful to the process of justice, and ultimately to the family and friends of Travis Alexander, as well as to Jodi Arias, who will be rendered a verdict by the jury through due process.
Thank you. Please share this petition if you agree with our message.
I'd love to have you read the essay I wrote, "The Audacity of Hate - The State of Arizona Vs. Jodi Arias"

Mike Duffy Can't Buy Your Love
You'll pay for my flight from P.E.I.
Cause it makes me feel all right
You'll pay for my flat 'cause I'm the guy
Who likes nice sheets at night
I don't care to spend my money
Cause money's what I really love
You say I don't deserve this Senate seat
And you're not satisfied
Tell me that you wanna punish me
And commit geriatricide
I don't care, I still want your money
Cause money's what I really love
Listen to me, Guv
The PM brought me to this show
Then I got the shove
Oh, Stevie - baby, no!
You say Nigel took the fall for me
Well, two wrongs make a Wright
You say Stevie knew the whole damn thing
But that dog still has fight
I wish Rob Fife didn't follow the money
Cause money's what I really love

Hi everyone
I'm not a new member but have been off the grid for some time. Looking back at old posts, it seemed I had a small posting blurb in June of last year but really haven't been "active" since Fall of 2010.
I figured I'd come back and give the forum another go.
When I last posted, I had a PF Lovebird, a Senegal, two Red-bellied parrots and two Meyer's parrot. In August of last year a Cape parrot joined the family as well.
I guess you can say that I really love Poicephalus parrots

From the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Advance Auto said a computer hacker may have gotten financial information of up to 56,000 customers at 14 stores in Virginia and seven other states. The Roanoke company said the customers shopped at the 14 stores from December 2001 to December 2004.
Why would a company have customer info on file for so long? I found one credit card processor's FAQ which said that the max for chargebacks is 180 days, which is only in the case of when a merchant has violated merchant rules (otherwise it's 120). So Advance Auto was about 2375 days overdue for a records wipe. It's time to start tightening up the lax security standards on the retail level that have created a playground of plunder for identity thieves.

Metro Detroit-owned ZIM's Vodka headed to out of state shelves
Thursday, February 12, 2015
ZIM's Vodka
, an award-winning potato vodka, created in metro Detroit and made in Poland, is expanding sales outside of Michigan.
As of January ZIM's, a gluten-free vodka made with Polish-grown potatoes in a 250-year-old Polish distillery using a recipe based on research conducted there, went on sell in Pennsylvania. In March, it goes on shelves in Illinois. Several other states are expected to follow.
The 2-year-old company founded by Grosse Pointer Terry Olson and run from offices in Warren is sold in more than 600 outlets across Michigan, top restaurants among them.
Throughout its existence the vodkas, an 81 proof and a 59 proof, have won awards and accolades around the world. Olson says ZIM's success shows it is more than a craft liquor "flash in the pan."
"We are really a Michigan owned and based spirits import company called The Rebel Spirits Group, LLC that makes traditional vodka products in Poland, the motherland of vodka," says Olson. "Unlike most, we import our own products back into the United States. We do not chase trends or fads which is why we never planned to deliver flavored vodkas, which are crashing and burning. We don't do browns - whiskey, rye, bourbon, which is the latest trend. Even some brown makers are moving into flavors. Be careful and learn from the vodka flavor dotcom collapse."
Olson seems intent on skipping the gimmicks that currently accompany the craft distillery movement, choosing instead to let the product speak for itself.
"We don't have a bar, restaurant or tasting room. We have six -pack cases of our internationally award winning vodkas. We continue to stick to our knitting by delivering a vodka that is coined the smoothest vodka on the planet."

Advantage Health Centers opens behavioral medicine space in Warren
Thursday, February 12, 2015
Advantage Health Centers of Detroit and Blue Cross Blue Shield have built a new heatlh care facility on the border of Warren and Detroit, part of a larger plan to treat substance abuse and mental illness among the uninsured and to improve the overall quality of life for the community.
The new Behavioral Health Space is located at 4669 East 8 Mile Road in Warren and with new staff and more room it expects to reach 30 percent more patients needing treatment for depression, substance abuse and other mental and behavioral health needs.
The development was supported with a $100,000 safety net grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Advantage Health Centers is a federally funded health care system that provides services to the uninsured and underinsured, including many homeless patients and military veterans.
It operates seven clinics, including dental care practices, in Detroit and in Warren. About 20,000 patients receive care for ailments that would go untreated or eventually waste emergency room time and space. Helping low-income people stay healthy gives them the ability to work and be productive, says executive director Joseph Ferguson, and benefits metro Detroit and Michigan as a whole.

Former Northville psych hospital to become massive commercial/public use space
Thursday, February 05, 2015
After years of sitting dark and quiet, wasting way, the former psychiatric hospital property in Northville Township is undergoing changes that are part of a lively economic redevelopment that turns the 400-acre site into a walkable, shoppable, eatable, hang-outable, job-creatable project.
Part of the project at 7 Mile and Haggerty roads, known as Northville Park Place, covers about 82 acres, and is being developed by Livonia-based Schostak and its Team Schostak Family Restaurants. A large portion is a public park, walking trails and other amenities that will give visitors a variety of things to do and also connect some locals to their neighborhoods via a trail system. The main hospital and other buildings have yet to be demolished, but the development is proceeding.
As the retail and commercial portion of the project enters phase 2, several restaurants and retailers have signed leases to open. They include Tom + Chee, a specialty grilled cheese restaurant; Mediterranean eatery, Red Olive, North Dakota-based Granite City, Seattle-based MOD Pizza, BurgerFi, Chipotle, Jimmy John's are signed leases previously.
Several stores are also signed on. Phase 1 was the 100,000-square-foot University of Michigan Northville Health Center.
The final phase will be the public space that will also feature water falls, a pond, bike trails and outdoor seating.
The re-use of the land was a source of debate for years in the township as several plans and promises were made and broken and red tape for the former state-owned property dragged out a re-use of the prominent piece of land.

Cardiologist, successful chef and author behind GreenSpace Cafe in Ferndale
Thursday, February 05, 2015
Construction and hiring are underway for a downtown Ferndale restaurant that plans to offer a menu that pleases the palate without hindering good health.
GreenSpace Cafe
is expected to open in March at 215 W. 9 Mile Road.
The cafe is the brainchild of restaurateur Daniel Kahn, cardiologist and heart health author, Dr. Joel Kahn. George Vutetakis, chef, healthy eating author and former proprietor of the long successful Inn Season vegetarian restaurant in Royal Oak is developing the menu, which will be plant based and oil free. He is known as the Vegetarian Guy and is director of product research and development at Ferndale-based Garden Fresh Gourmet. Dr. Kahn is a vegan and author of books about the benefits and implementation of plant-based eating.
The 1,700-square-foot restaurant will seat about 60 inside and about 40 on an expanded patio. The renovations are transforming the space that was Maria's Fine Italian Dining into a relaxed, rustic style eatery in the heart of downtown.
Daniel Kahn hopes not only to attract vegetarians and vegans who don't limited quality options for dining out in metro Detroit as well as meat eaters who may be looking to improve the way they eat and discover a plant-based diet does not equal deprivation.

Sea Life Aquarium ups metro Detroit's tourist draw
Thursday, January 29, 2015
More than 5,000 sea creatures, from sharks and stingrays to octopi and jellyfish, have settled in to their new home inside a Auburn Hills shopping mall as opening day for the Sea Life Aquarium arrives.
Sea Life Michigan
, which is owned by United Kingdom-based Merlin Entertainments, opens today inside a massively overhauled space that was previously a Gameworks.
The attraction at Great Lakes Crossing is expected to draw tourists from across the region and become a new thing to do for families and lover of ocean life, who will find an interactive touchpool, animal feedings, presentations from ocean life experts and more than 30 other tanks. Freshwater fish are part of Sea Life Michigan and will be a part of a Great Lakes education component.
Sea Life is also expected to be a destination for school field trips and other educational endeavors. With its combination of fun, education and conservation/rescue it is expected to be a boon for the mall as a whole and for nearby hotels.
Sea Life Michigan is one of eight U.S. locations and dozens more worldwide.

M1 MRI Center brings latest tech to $700K facility in Berkley
Thursday, January 22, 2015
The M1 Imaging Center, which operates from a $700,000 facility in Berkley, is the only MRI center in the state to hold a license for a weight-bearing imaging device that was developed by NASA and is used to treat chronic back, neck, leg and knee pain.
The owners of M1, one a radiologist, the other a health care administrator, combined their expertise to open the MRI center inside a 75-year-old, 3,000-square-foot former Henderson Glass at 27501 Woodward Ave.
The center offers several forms of MRI, and the latest, the DynaWell L-Spine, is non-invasive and allows patients to stand and bear weight during MRI in for more accurate diagnoses, and potentially, more effective treatment plans.
It is one of several services and technologically-advanced tools offered by M1 to patients and doctors in southeast Michigan, some of them available only at M1.
"By simulating gravity on the lumbar spine through the compression device, we can make a more comprehensive diagnosis than an MRI that does not offer weight-bearing images," says Joshua Katke, the health care administrator who owns M1 with muscoskeletal neuroradiologist, Dr. Chintan Desai."What we see may be the difference between conservative treatment and surgery. Weight-bearing MRI will not create a false positive or worse condition of spinal stenosis when there isn't one but rather will be the first to detect a previously under-diagnosed condition."

Indie film destination Maple Theater renovates, adds second location
Thursday, January 15, 2015
The Maple Theater
in Bloomfield Hills is undergoing a second round of renovations and bringing on a partner theater, The Riviera, which is scheduled to open in Farmington Hills in May.
The Maple, which was built in 1977 and eventually made the best of being too small to show most large run commercial films by featuring independent films, will have a larger lobby and lounge to add to the comfort of patrons. The renovations are expected to be completed by April.
The theater, which is operated by Cloud Nine Partners LLC, was renovated to add a coffee bar and cafe in 2012, when Cloud Nine bought the three-screen theater from Landmark Theaters. The theater will remain fully operational during renovations.
In the meantime, construction will begin Feb. 1 on The Riviera at 9 Mile Road west of Middlebelt in Farmington Hills.
"We're very excited about this," says Ruth Daniels of Cloud Nine. "Michigan is a wonderful state for movie-going. It actually has more independent theaters than most states. And let's face it who doesn't love something new and updated."
The Riviera, which is owned in partnership by Cloud 9 and Dipson Theaters, an operator eight movie theaters in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania, will have nine screens and a screening room for private parties and corporate events.
Dipson operates the theater that will be replaced by The Riviera. The existing theater closes at the end of the month.
Birmingham design firm, Ron and Roman, will design the new theater, which will reelect a luxury feel, a cocktail lounge, specialty food menu and premium comfort, convenience and technology. Ron & Roman is also redesigning the Maple Theater.
"It will be a very drastic change," Daniels says of the changes happening at the movie theater that will become The Riviera. "A movie is all about the experience and we want to give the best possible movie-going experience. I go across the country and see some of the amazing things people are doing with theaters," she says. " This is going to be amazing."

Lincoln Park Lofts ready for downtown residents and retailers
Thursday, January 15, 2015
A former movie theater and adult club on Lincoln Park's main street are gone and in their place is a new residential loft and retail development.
The grand opening of Lincoln Park Lofts on Fort Street at O'Connor is being celebrated Jan. 15.
The project headed by the Wayne Metro Community Action Agency is a mix of historic rehab and new construction and is meant to offer affordable housing and retail space in place of the historic vacant Park Theater, which was a family draw before closing in the 70s. In the 80s it became the Hustler adult club until closing in 2008.
The facade and marquee of the theater were saved and incorporated into the new development. The marquee is expected to be restored and re-lit eventually. Inside the former theater construction is nearing completion on 12 residential lofts. On the ground floor are two 1,200-square-foot retail spaces. Behind the former theater is a new building that houses 24 condos with ground level parking. The condos are fully occupied.
"We are thrilled to have the Lincoln park lofts opening in our downtown. This is a project that has been a long time coming," says Madhu Oberoi, executive director of the city's downtown development authority.
The project has been in development since at least 2009, when developer Louis Piszker, CEO of Wayne Metro Community Action Agency, told metromode, "It will stand out as an exciting entry point to downtown Lincoln Park. "We're looking at this project as a seed or catalyst to revitalize the downtown of the city."
Today, Oberoi says his prediction holds true even as local preservationists fight plans to demolish a 1920s-era dime store just down the street from the lofts. The Neisner dime store would be replaced with a Save A Lot grocer.
"This will provide a 24/7 resident population in the downtown which is extremely important for downtowns to survive," says Oberoi. "This is expected to generate walkable activity and need for support services to serve the downtown...Hopefully this project will provide a catalyst for other retail type businesses to locate in the downtown."

Vodka, gin distillery, tastng room planned for Royal Oak
Thursday, January 08, 2015
Royal Oak may soon be home to small distillery and tasting room. Five Lakes Distillery received a small distiller license from the city commission this week, paving the way for owners Craig Schlicht and Keith Reid to make vodka, initially, and then, eventually, gin from a small space at 4320 Rochester Road.
The plan is to produce vodka on site, 90 percent of it for distribution, 10 percent on site for the weekend-only tasting room, which will take up 190 square feet of the 855-square-foot facility.
The owners have a permit to produce up to 60,000 gallons of spirits per year, says Todd Fenton, the city's manager of economic development, but as of now they expect to produce closer to 6,000 gallons.
No opening date has been set as other city permits are still required. If successful, Five Lakes could join metro-Detroit-made spirits success stories such as Valentine Vodka in Ferndale, Hard Luck Candy Vodka in St. Clair Shores, Griffin Claw Brewing Co. in Birmingham and Zim's Vodka based in Warren.

Institution of Dance Arts opens in Ferndale
Thursday, January 08, 2015
The new
Institution of Dance Arts,
Ferndale's only traditional dance class studio, is building a following of customers who want to learn dance as well as the skills it imparts imparts in their lives outside the studio.
Owner Ida Lowback opened the studio several weeks ago at 701 Woodward Heights, Ste. 130. She and her four instructors and occasional staff guest artist teach several genres of dance and pilots to all ages.
"Can you believe that the city of Ferndale has not had a studio offering traditional dance classes up until now? Well, we are here now and excited to fill the void and share our passion for dance," says Lowback.
The business inside a renovated office building, which looks like a former school. The cheery yellow paint on the inside opens onto a studio that was built with a sprung sub floor and a Marley floor covering, both of which make dance more comfortable, effective and safe than regular flooring.

Taylor & Colt barberspas coming to metro Detroit
Thursday, December 18, 2014
Two brothers from Birmingham will be importing Canadian-based
Taylor & Colt
barberspas to the U.S., starting with two metro Detroit locations.
John and Tom White are the U.S. franchisees for the chain of Toronto spas that combine old-fashioned barber shop services and more modern grooming treatments in high-end surroundings.
The first Taylor & Colt barberspas will open in the Villages in Rochester and on Liberty Street in Ann Arbor. They are seeking a location in Birmingham, says John White.
Renovations are underway on the first two spas, and they are expected to open in January.
"We're bringing this to Michigan first, and hopefully as we open new locations and expand, we'll bring it to a number of different states. We'd like Boston, Charleston, Austin."
The spas have an old-fashioned meets contemporary feel with rough woods and stone in the interior and traditional barber shop chairs. There are iPads at each chair and big-screen TVs throughout. There will be a reception bar with coffee, tea, juice, and newspapers. Services will include haircuts, hot towel shaves, laser hair removal, massage and more.
After seeing Taylor & Colt in Toronto, "We kind of thought, 'You know what this makes a lot of sense.' When you visit men's barber shops, a lot of them have been there forever. They're old, they're tired. They're a basic place to get a haircut, but not much more," says John White. "We've seen this whole movement that younger men are indulging in more careful grooming and more attention to their appearance. We think there will be much interest in this."

Riley Park ice rink opens in downtown Farmington
Thursday, December 18, 2014
The Riley Park Ice Rink in downtown Farmington is seen as keeping winter from putting a freeze on business and keeping the heart of the city pumping when temps plunge.
Barring too-warm temps, the 4,800-square-foot, refrigerated rink opens this weekend as a fundraising campaign to maintain and market the volunteer-run rink.
During warmer months, Riley Park hosts the Farmington Farmers & Artisans Market, Rhythmz in Riley Park and the Harvest Moon Celebration.
As the rink opens for its second year the hope is to keep Riley Park and the businesses that surround it thriving all year long and to foster the feeling of a quaint, downtown park and ice rink as a place to have fun before or after dinner, a coffee, or shopping. Annette Knowles, executive director of the city's downtown development authority, describes the vibe of the park and downtown in winter as "Currier and Ives-like."
"The Riley Park Ice Rink creates a winter destination in downtown Farmington. Until the rink came, the programming in the park was for three seasons, not four," says Knowles. "Now, we have a cool, fun place for families to connect and play. And the rink is surrounded by restaurants where skaters can warm up and get a snack or inviting boutiques and stores to purchase accessories to keep you warm on the ice."
The ice rink opened in 2013 thanks to a major contribution of $100,000 from the Riley Foundation. Local businesses such as Wright Beamer, Dagwood's Deli, S3 Architecture, John Cowley and Sons Irish Pub, and OHM Advisors contributed to the project as did the community, with Farmington residents chipping in $10,000.

Royal Oak formulates downtown retail development plan
Thursday, December 18, 2014
A national retail consultant has looked at the city of Royal Oak and what's wrong and right with its retail situation as the city works to "confirm its position as a retail and entertainment destination."
The city hired
The Retail Coach
out of Mississippi in September. The company has worked with dozens of local governments, chambers of commerce and economic development corporations in more than 250 cities, guiding them through development and redevelopment of their retail offerings.
The assessment for Royal Oak was expected to be presented to the City Council this week. The assessment will gauge consumer demand and analyze retail trade areas and retail gaps and opportunities. The analysis will target 52 retail categories that are weak or underperforming in Royal Oak.
"Royal Oak has always enjoyed a reputation as one of Michigan's most exciting cities with several award-winning boutiques and galleries, and a bustling nightlife," Royal Oak Economic Development Manager Todd Fenton says in a statement from The Retail Coach.
"By bringing The Retail Coach on board to assist with our retail business attraction efforts, Royal Oak aims to be a showcase of distinct retailers that provide an unparalleled shopping experience...People and businesses are increasingly relocating to walkable urban environments, and Royal Oak boasts one of Michigan's most dynamic and desirable downtowns," Fenton says. "As foot traffic continues to increase during the day with the addition of new residents and office users, the time is right for a coordinated retail attraction initiative to attract retailers who fit into our unique city."

Top Stock to Buy #3 — Masco Corp. (MAS)
Masco Corp. (NYSE:MAS) manufactures a range of home improvement and building products including faucets, cabinets, coatings and windows, and installs insulation in new homes. The increase in pending home sales released on Dec. 30 resulted in a gain of 8.41% for Masco with the stock closing at $10.70.
The company is expected to report earnings of 20 cents for 2011 versus a $3 loss in 2012. Earnings of 55 cents are estimated in 2012 by S&P, which targets the stock at $12, but expects it could go even higher as earnings targets are met. MAS has a dividend yield of 2.86%.
Technically the stock ran to its 200-day moving average on the better home sales report. A punch through its 200-day moving average at $10.65 should result in a quick run to $14. Longer term this stock is capable of a major advance.

Shane Warne took another three wickets but was on the losing side as he completed his comeback cricket match with the Victoria 2nd XI at the Junction Oval today.
The champion leg spinner, playing his first match since his drug suspension finished, took 3-120 from 19.5 overs as the Queensland Academy of Sport won by three wickets on the penultimate ball of the match.
With ten runs needed off the last over of the match - Warne's 20th in succession - former Australian off spinner Nathan Hauritz finished off beautifully smashing a six over mid wicket and then hitting a single off the next ball to steer the QAS to a thrilling win.
Hauritz finished on 54 not out from 29 balls and set up the win with a sixth wicket stand of 68 with Chris Hartley (51) QAS finished on 7-306 in 57.5 overs.
Typically of Warne, today's spell featured something of everything.
His first delivery was hit for four by Chris Simpson (81), he was slogged for five sixes, he dropped a simple caught and bowled chance and had another two chances put down in the field.
But he did claim the wickets of Lee Carseldine, Steven Farrell and Steven Paulsen with some clever bowling.
Warne's match figures of 5-152 from 35.5 overs will hold him in good stead for the next match in his comeback, Saturday's ING Cup match against Tasmania at the MCG.
He is also set to win selection in a Bushrangers' side for the Pura Cup match against the Tigers starting Monday as he aims to reclaim his spot in the Australian Test team for next month's series against Sri Lanka.
Despite bowling well yesterday the QAS bats took to Warne with Carseldine, Farrell, Hartley (twice) and Hauritz all hitting him over the boundary.
But Warne had Carseldine (33) out in his eighth over after he lofted a drive to deep mid-off where Brad Knowles took a simple catch.
Warne also bowled Farrell (39) and had Paulsen (0) caught at point - in the space of four balls - in his 15th over.
But it didn't all go Warne's way as he dropped a simple return chance off Farrell in his ninth over.
He later watched in horror as Hartley took a four and two sixes off three balls after Farrell was given a life by Brendan Joseland who dropped a sitter at point, in Warne's 14th over.
Hauritz and Hartley took 18 off Warne's 17th over and Matthew Gale dropped Hauritz at long off in Warne's 19th over.
Warne, who took 2-32 from 16 overs in the QAS first innings yesterday, did not bowl this morning as the Queenslanders declared their first innings closed at 5-266 trailing by 131 runs behind Victoria's first innings 5(dec)379.
Victoria also declared today closing its second innings on 4-192 with Warne not out without scoring and at the crease as Aiden Blizzard reached his century.
But the QAS bats were positive throughout and recorded a fine win with an excellent run chase.

I have been dating my boyfriend for a little over a year and a half. Prior to me he dated a girl who cheated on him. She had a baby and is now requesting my boyfriend take a paternity test to see if he could possibly be the father of this child.
While I love him more than I have ever loved anyone in my life and plan to spend the rest of my life with him, I can't help to think about how much my life is going to change if this child turns out to be his. I want to be supportive to him because I'm sure this is a tough time for him as well but I am devastated. Have any readers been in this situation and what would they do if they were me?
ARA: Help, my boyfriend's ex had a baby, it could be his

I broke my penis once, too. Got it stitched back up though and she's good as new now.
#52 – waaaaayyyyyyy too much information. Kinda surprised the comment got approved.
WTF? Memories of John Wayne Bobbit…
OMG – OK RACH…. listen very carefully… first and foremost, men CANNOT BREAK their penis. There are NO BONES in a penis. I have a gut feeling there's way more to this story than your man is telling you, like the truth. Do the DNA test and go from there. I seriously wish you the best of luck w/your situation.
What a touching story!

Any body got the little black cobra 19 CB? If so is it a good one? Another thing....how do you run power to your CB when installed to vehicle?
I had one at one time. It worked fine for me I guess. As far as power goes, I just tapped into the cigarette lighter wire and used that.
I've always thought about adding one to my truck, but never had a serious reason to. Can you give me a good reason I can use to convince my better half?
Well when I did it I was back in high school and my truck was a POS. I kept in contact with my a few of my friends but being in a heavily wooded area it didn't work so well.
I have considered putting in a new one in both mine and my wives car for SHTF type situations.
Lately I have been thinking of getting into amateur (ham) radio so I can talk to my family half way around the country.
Just use a plug in the lighter or power outlet. The CB radio is seldom used these days. The cell phone is the current communication toy.:)
I threw a $34 Cobra 19 from WalMart into the Jeep YJ.. .. Powered on dedicated cable to battery,
Works fine for jeep trips. Wouldn't want to use one in the city.
Ham Radio works much better for me, but many others aren't licensed. . . CB it is.
I had a car audio shop install a CB for me in my jeep. I bought it in order to fulfill a local jeep club's requirements. They want to be able to communicate in remote areas when they're on club rides. I turn it on every once in a while but there just isn't anyone on to talk to most days. Like fa35jsf, I too am interested in ham radio. I have several e-books that I'm studying, wanting to get my technician's license, which is the entry level ham license. I'm learning more and more that the 2m ham sets are popular with a lot of 4 wheelin' folk with much greater range than your typical CB but, they require a license. If I ever do get my ham license I'll be intolerable.
Take a look at the single side band type.
Back in the day, that was the only way to go.
(and only the interesting people were on the lower side of 8)
I have mine wired to a accessory power source so it can only turn on when the key is on the accessory position.I have one because not everywhere I travel has cell phone signal.Plus,truckers relay road conditions and such.Very good to have if SHTF.

BEL Salutes: Professor David Ikenberry
Professor David Ikenberry is head of the Finance Department at UIUC's College of Business. Recently, UIUC News Bureau interviewed him and posted this story on their web site:
A Minute with David Ikenberry
David Ikenberry's research has focused on issues relating to stock-market returns as well as the informational efficiency of markets and the reasons why companies buy back their own stock. The growing influence of "activist stockholders" in corporate America has stirred fears that they are mostly speculators looking for quick profits at the expense of established companies. Ikenberry analyzes the background of these high-profile battles.

- Friends?... Fair enough
In: Proceedings of FIKUSZ 2010
Social network analysis is one of the fields in the social sciences which went through a huge development in the last two decades. With the availability of newer tools and methods, in-depth analysis of huge networks became possible resulting in important results at various fields. Despite this advancement, the strength of a tie – a foundation of this theory – is still a hot topic in SNA. This paper aims to provide another approach to tie strength, which is based on one of the internal properties of agents manifesting in human interactions – fairness. An analytical model of tie strength is introduced focusing on fairness concerns of people towards each other. The model is analyzed and an experimental method is shown to test the model. Also pilot results are introduced.

Of the well-reviewed reel shown during the Sony Pictures panel, director Neill Blomkamp says, 'There's no lies about it. It's completely about want to seeing cool footage.'
The first ever footage of Matt Damon's upcoming sci-fier "Elysium" has been screened during a Sony Pictures panel at Comic-Con on Friday, July 13. Receiving a warm response from reviewers, the 7-minute reel was dubbed "the most impressive thing screened in Hall H" during the annual convention.
Introducing the clip, director/screenwriter Neill Blomkamp said that the footage was "incredibly rough." Though admitting that at first he was unsure to show the reel, he's convinced to bring it to Comic-Con because "it's a true, honest thing." He stated, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter, "There's no lies about it. It's completely about want to seeing cool footage."
It was said that the setting shown in the footage was similar to the world in Blomkamp's 2009 film "District 9" completed with its slums and garbage dumps. It featured an overpopulated world where the rich live in a space station called Elysium. Damon's character was a steel worker who wanted to enter the station. He must kidnap an Eartbound resident in order to do that.
Taking the stage with Jodie Foster and Sharlto Copley, Damon dished on how he first discussed the film with Blomkamp, who introduced the actor to a graphic novel which highlights an elaborate story and setting. "It was in such incredible detail. So arresting," said Damon. "And there was a whole corresponding book on weaponry and a whole book on vehicles."
Blompkamp revealed that the origin of his upcoming sci-fi flick came from "an idea of a space station." He explained, "In the film, the wealth was taken and separated from Earth, leaving an impoverished planet behind it."
Speaking about the filming of "Elysium", which took place in the world's second largest garbage dump in the world, Damon said that it was a tough challenge. "We would be black with dust," he recalled. "And we would look at each other and say, 'This is fecal matter.' And Neill would come over, take off his mask and say, 'I promise you, the photography looks great!' "
The director added that he wanted to reduce the use of green-screen and CGI in the movie. "The situation that gets more dangerous if there's acting against a digital creature. Anything non-human," he reasoned. "That's where you can run into trouble."
Sony will release "Elysium" in the U.S. on March 1, 2013.

A figurative return to Panera
This morning, bright and early, I called the town Health Department and reported the store. To say that the Health Department was annoyed would be putting it mildly. They will be "reeducating" Panera on health dept requirements in their town, which do not include having sick people work or being threatened with firing.
I also contacted the Boston Bread Co with my issue, which they say they'll ponder and get back to me within 48 hours.
I called the Labor department and found that this type of complaint actually goes to Martha Coakley, our Atttorney General for an investigation. Since Panera was requiring the Girl to work until 11 pm (illegal) and to work over 40 hours/week (illegal), they are already up shit's creek without a paddle even before we add the latest issue to the pile. However, everyone in the Commonwealth must have been complaining about something today since the AG's line was occupado the entire morning. Frustrating. I'll be calling again tomorrow morning even earlier.
Much of this is moot, since the Girl is still sick, still running a high fever, and still totally feeling burned by Panera. She called and quit this afternoon rather to continue arguing with them over being at work, sick or not. She had enough, and she came to this decision on her own. I'm incredibly proud of her for trying to stick it out as long as she possibly could, and then determining just how much she could take before she had enough of their bullshit. Compared to most of the other teens that work, she lasted a long time under a lot of pressure. She loved having the money, and she really loved having a job. It was hugely important to her identity to have a good job that paid well in a store people knew and liked. But enough was enough, and today was her line in the sand. She did a great job and I feel like she was as responsible or moreso than many adults I know.
However, several newspapers want to interview her and write up the store, and I'm letting her decide whether or not she wants to do that.
And a certain local Pizza chain is hiring. She's already put out feelers, and is hoping to get that particular gig because it's closer to our house and she actually likes the food there. I don't really care where she ends up. She's an amazingly hard worker and as pleasant as can be unless she's home around her brother, and whatever job she lands, she'll do well.
She's a great kid. I'm lucky to have her.

The Coach is a recurring vehicle, first appearing in Grand Theft Auto 1, and then, subsequently, in all of the GTA III Era games (including Manhunt), and is basically a charter bus.
Overview Edit
The Manhunt, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories renditions of the Coach are similar to 1990s MCI coach models like the 102-B3 with the doors moved. These buses have a more boxy design, with colored stripes running along the sides.
In Manhunt, the Coach can be found in the level Born Again on the first street you come across. The bus is wrecked and abandoned.

English 276. Victorian Poetry
Reading poetry can be a thought provoking and richly rewarding experience. This course is designed to enable you to feel confident as you skillfully read and analyze poems. Over the course of the semester, you will receive training on topics such as rhythm and meter, genre, rhyme, syntax, and tone, some of the many tools that make up prosody. Together we will engage in interpretation and analysis of works from the Victorian period (1837-1901), specifically works that focus on the Victorians as everyday people, their concerns about a rapidly changing world, and their interest in both private property (ownership of a house, for instance) and public property (example: the space of the museum). In addition to reading poetic works by Victorian authors, we will also grapple with criticism about poetry (and poets, too) from this period and practice public recitation of poetry. It is my sincere wish that you will fully participate in class and that you will actively engage with the complexities of these very rich works.

By Jamie McAllister:
A rumored welterweight fight between Jon Fitch and Aaron Simpson is in the works according to sources close to the UFC. The bout is tentatively slated to take place at UFC 149, July 21st in Calgary, Alberta.
This would be Aaron Simpsons 1st fight at welterweight, after compiling 6 wins with 3 loses in the UFC's Middleweight division. His last fight was at UFC on Fuel TV: Sanchez vs. Ellenberger, where he lost a close split decision to Ronny Markes. Simpson has yet to address why he decided to move down to the welterweight division.
Fitch on the other hand is coming off the first KO loss of his career at the hands of Johny Hendricks at UFC 141. Before his loss to Hendricks, Fitch had gone 5-0-1 in his last 6 bouts.
Both fighters are former NCAA division 1 wrestlers, so it will be interesting to see which man can take this fight to the mat first. There is a possibility that this fight could end up taking place on the feet, if they prove to negate each others wrestling abilities.
Another big question is how will the cut down to welterweight affect the A-Train, as he has fought at middleweight since 2008. Is this a fight your excited to see?

Choosing a career can be one of the hardest decisions a person has to make, so Mullion School has given a helping hand through a whole day dedicated to that very subject.
More than 250 visitors attended this year's Careerscope – a biennial event hosted by the school for its students, their families and pupils from other schools in the area.
Not only could young people receive help on potential careers, but the day was also for adults looking for a career change.
Representatives of various colleges, universities, training organisations and employers were on hand to explain the best courses and routes in to different jobs.
There were over 50 individual stands at the event, including representatives from Cornwall College, Truro College, Duchy College, the armed forces, Head & Head Veterinary Clinic, Cornwall Combined Training, University College Falmouth, National Trust, Sainsbury's, Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust, Ultra Work Based Learning and Pendennis Shipyard.
Many of the stands were interactive, with pupils able to try their hand at building a wall, cake decorating, using a giant wood turning lathe, become a crime scene investigator to interpret blood splatter, handle snakes and insects, and get their hair and nails done.
During the afternoon pupils were entertained by music performances from Helston Jazz Orchestra, Truro College's music department and Cornwall College.
Debbie Batley, careers co-ordinator at Mullion School, said: "The event was a great success, with all the exhibitors commenting on how well organised the event was and in particular how helpful and polite the pupil volunteers were.
"Special thanks must go to the prefect team; their hard work throughout the day and evening meant the event was a great success."
The day was equally a success with exhibitors. Penwith College Games Development commented on students' "keen, enquiring minds," while the Truro & Penwith College Higher Education representatives said they were impressed from the time they met students on the door through to the regular contact with staff.
When asked whether taking part in the event was worthwhile Lisa Mortensen, of Cornwall College Arts & Media, said: "Very much so and I believe students gained an insight into the creative industry as well as progression option."

With today's ever-increasing amount of gear that contains disc drives and liquid crystal displays, the need for an affordable shock rack has become mandatory. Gator's new G-SHOCK deluxe shock rack cases which have a 16.75" front rail to back rail rackable depth are molded from the incredibly durable high-density military grade Polyethylene. This lightweight yet super strong material insures maximum protection at a weight you can easily handle. Gator uses rubber shock absorbers on all eight corners which assures a soft ride in every direction.
The internal 19-inch rack frame has threaded front and rear rack rails. In addition, Gator has another exclusive - a moveable rear support system! This does away with needing a machine shop in your garage to make a rear support for your power amps or rack gear. Furthermore, those threaded rack rails are field replaceable.
Exclusive to the Gator racks are locking front and rear lids. Sloped side handles molded from Polyethylene, make these cases comfortable to carry when the racks are loaded and they are virtually indestructible! The ridges on the top and bottom make these cases universally stackable with both Gator racks and those of other manufacturers who construct their product in accordance with E.I.A. specifications. Gator G-SHOCK racks have established a new price level in shock racks with a superior shock system.

It was my pleasure doing your hair. I'll see you soon for that curl.
Unfortunately she is correct. I was in a situation where I didn't have access to a phone or a computer for over a week and couldn't get to any of my customers. This is not a regular occurrence and my track record for the utmost professionalism is of a top priority.
Thank you so very much Lyric for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure doing your hair. I hope you enjoy the style and I hope to see you again.

Posted on Apr 25th by Gardens admin in Blake Shelton,
Shelton is currently a coach on NBC's "The Voice" along with Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine, which premieres tomorrow April 26
NASHVILLE, TN – (April 20, 2011) – Warner Bros. Records announces today that reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year Blake Shelton will release his ninth album on July 12. Produced by multi-award winner Scott Hendricks, the forthcoming album will include Shelton's fastest rising single to date, "Honey Bee." Just one week after its debut, "Honey Bee" sold over 138,000 digital singles, a feat unmatched by any country male soloist. Beginning, tomorrow, April 26, Shelton will join superstars Christian Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine as a coach on NBC's "The Voice."
"There are so many things I'm excited to share with everyone this year," said Shelton. "I can't wait for people to hear the record; I have found some of the best songs of my career. I also think people will be surprised at all the talent they will see on 'The Voice.' There were so many great vocalists who just blew me away and it has been the coolest thing to be part of it all."
Check out Blake Shelton and the rest of "The Voice" coaches in NBC's exclusive preview here.
This past year, Blake Shelton, one of the "most versatile of contemporary country singers" (The New York Times), proves he is a force to be reckoned with after winning six awards including CMA Award for "Male Vocalist of the Year," receiving three consecutive No. 1's ("Who Are You When I'm Not Looking," "All About Tonight" and "Hillbilly Bone"), selling out shows on his first ever headlining tour "All About Tonight Tour," his first No. 1 album All About Tonight, receiving his first GRAMMY nomination and is currently a coach on NBC's "The Voice" which premieres April 26. In addition to these amazing accolades, Shelton's latest CD, LOADED: The Best of Blake Shelton, debuted in the Top 10 on the Country Charts adding Shelton into an elite group of artists who have charted three records in one year (among those are Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney and Alan Jackson). Shelton's current single "Honey Bee" sold over 138,000 digital singles in its debut week, making it the highest single chart debut by any country male soloist to date. Shelton's eight No. 1 hits are "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking," "All About Tonight," "Hillbilly Bone," "She Wouldn't Be Gone," "Home," "Some Beach," "The Baby" and "Austin." Shelton has not had a single peak outside the Top Ten since 2007.

New York City must do a better job of determining whether homeless families have someplace else to go before denying them places in its shelter system, a judge ruled yesterday.
In the latest round of legal sparring over the city's homeless policy, Justice Helen E. Freedman of State Supreme Court in Manhattan barred the city from turning people away at its Emergency Assistance Unit in the Bronx without conducting ''adequate investigation.''
In August, the Giuliani administration said it would no longer automatically offer shelter to those who had been ''doubled up'' with friends and relatives, contending that many of those people already had places to live. Justice Freedman's ruling does not strike down that policy, but it forces the city to prove that those it rejects do have somewhere to stay.
The judge's order will also require the city to provide written notices stating a reason when people at the Emergency Assistance Unit are denied shelter. And it requires the state to insure that the city complies.
Advocates for the homeless charge that the city's policy has resulted in families being forced to sleep in subway trains, stairwells and vans. ''The city has been telling people to go back to housing where they are no longer welcome,'' said Steven Banks, who heads the Legal Aid Society's Homeless Family Rights Project and filed suit against the city.Continue reading the main story
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani said yesterday that the city did a good job of determining who needed shelter and would probably appeal the order.
''What her ruling ignores is that there are many people who misuse the E.A.U., and she leaves the city without any capacity to deal with that, which is really a shame,'' Mr. Giuliani said. ''Of course, there are some families that need help and, of course, when the evaluation is done, not every single one is correct. But the overwhelming majority of evaluations turned out to be correct, and it's really a distorted viewpoint.''
Mr. Giuliani said the city's new policy enabled it to screen out applicants who were not truly homeless but simply trying to jump to the head of a long line for subsidized apartments. Because of the stricter guidelines, fewer people have come to the Emergency Assistance Unit, which is chronically overcrowded. In May, Justice Freedman held the Giuliani administration in contempt of court for conditions there and began to fine the city for not placing people in shelters more quickly.
Gordon Campbell, the Commissioner of the City Department of Homeless Services, said yesterday that he considered the judge's order a victory because she had upheld the city's policy. ''It's a very deliberative process and thoughtful process,'' Mr. Campbell said.
Families that are rejected can appeal to the state. Of the 1,366 families rejected since August, he said, 118 have appealed, and in most of those cases, the city's decision has been upheld.
''We treat each family as an individual and look at the totality of the circumstance,'' Mr. Campbell said. ''And it has safeguards along the way as far as checks and balances and reviews.''
But Mr. Banks contended that the city's policy had resulted in haphazard decisions by poorly trained caseworkers. In its attempt to save money and avoid court-ordered fines, Mr. Banks said, the city has turned away hundreds of homeless families with little regard to their circumstances.
''On every given night, the city is denying shelter to children and their families who have been doubled-up with friends or relatives by claiming that the families can return to that situation, even when they cannot,'' Mr. Banks said. ''And so, families have been relegated to living in public spaces including subways, abandoned buildings, cars and hallways.''
Aleida Hernandez, a teen-ager who is a plaintiff in the lawsuit, was initially found ineligible for housing because the city believed she could stay with relatives. Yet city investigators had been told that Ms. Hernandez's mother had been granted an order of protection against her daughter after she tried to kick down the door, barring her from coming to the apartment, court records show.
After applying and reapplying for shelter at the Emergency Assistance Unit, she said in an affidavit, she, her 2-month-old baby and her boyfriend were told to return to her mother's home. Her mother would not open the door.
''We had nowhere to go,'' she said in the affidavit. ''It was raining hard that night and all of us, including my newborn baby, were soaked. We had to spend the night riding back and forth on the No. 6 subway train.''
Ms. Hernandez won her case on appeal before a state hearing board.
Enshalise Edwards and her three young children were forced to apply for emergency shelter after Ms. Edwards became convinced that her 3-year-old daughter was being sexually molested by someone living in her mother's home. A hospital report indicated signs of sexual abuse. But a counselor at the Emergency Assistance Unit said her daughter might ''have trouble telling the difference between reality and fantasy,'' and Ms. Edwards was found ineligible, court records show. The city has since granted her application.
In the case of Myra Mejias, city investigators repeatedly confirmed that she, her boyfriend and their 2-year-old son had no place to live, yet the city repeatedly denied her applications, court records indicate.
''I have tried to do everything that the city has told me to do,'' Ms. Mejias said. ''One day, they tell me to get a notarized letter, and when I do that, they say a notarized letter is no use. One time, they tell us we can reapply if we are denied, and the next time they say we have to stay out 24 hours before we can reapply.''
City officials, however, counter that making these decisions is complicated, and sometimes involves taking one person's word over another's. Applicants and their relatives often change their stories and some quickly learn to manipulate the system, one official said.
