An alert driver led police Monday morning to a house where a man fled after robbing an Owen Drive business, police said.
Benjamin Lee Murchison, 26, of Elizabethtown, was arrested and charged in the robbery after being located at his Coronado Parkway residence, according to a Fayetteville police news release.
Murchison also was charged with a probation violation, the release said, and is being held on $10,000 bail at the Cumberland County Detention Center.
The Radio Shack at 1816 Owen Drive was robbed at 10:57 a.m., according to the news release.
A man came into the business and asked a clerk for information about an iPad, the release said.
As the clerk was assisting the man, he suddenly ran around the sales counter, pushed the clerk out of the way, grabbed the iPad and ran out the door, the release said.
He got into a vehicle that was parked outside the business and it drove away, the release said.
A driver saw the man come out and get into the car and followed the fleeing vehicle to a house on the 2800 block of Coronado Parkway, the release said.
The driver called police, who came to the residence and arrested Murchison.

Digital camera connections
This video shows you how to "hotwire" a digital camera. This video outlines the first step in making our digital camera work in the Bit-zee robot. The required voltage for the camera was determined by adding the1.5 volt AAA batteries (there are three of them) together to get 4.5 volts (because the batteries are wired in series). Since new batteries usually have a voltage that exceeds their marked rating the camera can easily run on the 5 volts that the center terminal of our L298 motor controller provides.

Mark and Abbie Batia of Orlando, Fla., with their children, had to 'bite the bullet' and buy a bigger car to accommodate their growing family. Chip Litherland for The Wall Street Journal
After four bumpy years, the U.S. recovery finally appears to be on a smoother road.
Many economists now predict 2014 will be the best year for growth since 2005, while joblessness is expected to click below 7% next year for the first time since 2008. Houses are selling again, the energy sector is booming and jobs, while not plentiful, are being created at a steady pace. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve upped its estimate for next year's expansion as well.
There have been earlier waves of optimism that the economy was poised for better growth, and the past week's financial-market turmoil is a reminder that a lot still could go wrong.
News that the Fed could start dialing back stimulus later this year sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 2.34% on Thursday. The average closed at 14799.40 Friday, down 1.80% for the week. A persistent decline in stock prices or faster-than-expected increases in mortgage and other long-term interest rates could slow the recovery.
It has been a long haul. The recovery that began in June 2009 has been painfully slow. Jobs, median household income, industrial production and home prices still haven't returned to the levels they were at before the recession.
But despite the weak pace of overall growth, the recovery has proved surprisingly resilient. The economy has absorbed a series of shocks, from tax hikes to a tsunami in Japan, without getting knocked off course or falling back into recession. And crucially, inflation remains low.
"The good news is if [the recovery] continues to ratchet up gradually," the economy could see growth persist and strengthen, says Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight.
The Outlook
It will take a prolonged upturn to make up ground lost during the recession, which stretched from December 2007 through June 2009. Long-term unemployment, a hallmark of the recession's toll, remains at historically high levels. The economy has been expanding, but at a 2.2% annual pace, below the average 3.3% rate of recent decades. The federal government's belt-tightening has weighed on the recovery, but that impact is now dissipating.
Economists in the latest Wall Street Journal monthly survey expect gross domestic product to expand at a 2.3% annual pace this year and 2.8% next year. The Federal Reserve edged up 2014 growth forecasts to between 3% and 3.5%, from a March estimate of 2.9% to 3.4%.
After the central bank's policy-making committee met last week, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke explained the panel's recent optimism by saying the economy's "fundamentals look a little better to us."
Such optimism about the recovery looks justified, thanks in part to the energy boom and the real-estate sector's patchy comeback. The property market's expected contribution to the economy during the second half of this year is the critical engine, says Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, DBK.XE -0.93% Deutsche Bank AG Germany: Xetra €33.17 -0.31 -0.93% Dec. 12, 2013 5:35 pm Volume : 4.86M P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap €34.13 Billion Dividend Yield 2.26% Rev. per Employee €454,077 12/11/13 3-D Printing Stocks Catch Wall... 12/11/13 3-D Printing Stocks Gain Wall ... 12/11/13 What WSJ Canada Is Reading Wed... More quote details and news » noting that housing gains benefit many other areas, from furniture sales to landscaping.
Earlier in the recovery, similar bouts of optimism flared, only to be snuffed out by events such as the tsunami in Japan, euro-zone turmoil and budget strife in Washington. While such shocks undercut the momentum, they didn't tip the economy back into recession. But each disappointment renewed skittishness among consumers and businesses scarred by the financial crisis.
"We're extremely cautious and not seeing dramatic growth," says Mike DePasquale, chief executive of BIO-key International, BKYI -3.73% Bio-key International Inc. U.S.: OTCBB $0.15 -0.01 -3.73% Dec. 12, 2013 3:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 53,075 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap $18.65 Million Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $209,421 More quote details and news » Inc. The Wall, N.J., company makes security software that recognizes biometric markers, such as fingerprints. In recent months, BIO-key added three employees, bringing its full-time staff to 19.
Although demand at home and abroad remains brisk, the ordeal of the recession, when BIO-key laid off workers and streamlined operations, is still vivid. "We all sense that things are beginning to get better, but we don't innately feel it," Mr. DePasquale says. "There are still so many people that each of us know who are out of work or struggling in positions that are below where they were five years ago."
Such doubts are inevitable amid a recovery that has defied the contours and pace of previous comebacks. The labor market remains strained, even as the unemployment rate has dropped to 7.6%, from double-digit levels. The U.S. has 2.4 million fewer jobs today than when the recession began. Adjusting for population growth, it will take more than nine years at the current rate of hiring to return to prerecession employment levels, according to estimates from the Brookings Institution.
Slow hiring and scant wage growth have made the recovery feel no different from the recession for some. According to the latest WSJ/NBC News poll, 58% of Americans believe the country is in a recession.
That isn't surprising after a financial crisis that put households through their "worst losses of wealth in 80 years," says Robert Shapiro, chairman of Sonecon LLC, an advisory firm.
And yet, consumer confidence now stands at a five-year high. Households that borrowed extensively before the recession have pared their debt. After years of cutting back, they are spending again, moving beyond absolute essentials to big-ticket purchases that were postponed in leaner times.
Among those consumers is Abbie Batia, who says she and her husband had to "bite the bullet" and buy a bigger car to accommodate their growing family.
The Batias, of Orlando, Fla., have three children, ages 4, 2 and 9 months. They replaced their sport-utility vehicle—which was all paid for, Mrs. Batia says—with a larger SUV less than a year ago. Mrs. Batia, a part-time adjunct professor of exercise and sports science, and her husband, who works at a construction-management firm, are feeling more optimistic about the economy than they did during the recession, but remain careful about spending.
"We were definitely pinching pennies more four years ago than we are now," says Mrs. Batia, who is 34. The family keeps to a monthly budget, she says, "but we haven't been hurting in other areas when we've had to add money to the grocery fund."
Economists see consumers now carrying this recovery forward, as a combination of slow gains in the job market and a snapback in housing improves their mood.
Household balance sheets have shown "pretty good improvement," but about 20% of mortgage borrowers are still underwater on their loans, says Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at research firm Capital Economics. Businesses have reined in borrowing and strengthened their books, he says, but remain gun-shy about spending to expand.
"What we really want is business investment to rise well above just replacing worn-out stuff, and into getting new stuff," he says, "because when you get extra new stuff, you need new staff. When you buy two new vehicles, you need two new drivers."
Many businesses say they don't want to commit to new investment until they are sure that demand is there. Some continue to cut back in the face of wavering demand.
Aleris Corp., a Cleveland-based aluminum processor with plants in the U.S., Europe and China, is hoping that America's housing rebound translates into increased sales. The company sells aluminum for gutters and other household uses, as well as for appliances such as washers and dryers that people often buy when moving into new homes.
"We're looking forward to that big jump in demand," says Sean Stack, the company's chief financial officer.
In 2011, the company restarted its U.S. building-materials plant, which it had shut during the housing bust, but it is running at just 65% of capacity. Mr. Stack says he hopes demand will pick up this summer, based on the recent pace of home building. He adds the company has yet to see much improvement in demand in the division that provides aluminum for consumer products.
As a result, Aleris has been cutting costs, pulling back on travel spending, and trimming jobs—about 150 white-collar positions so far this year in the U.S. and Europe.
The company hasn't applied the brakes across the board. It is moving forward with investments in facilities in North Carolina, Belgium and a new $350 million aluminum-rolling plant in Zhenjiang, China. In China, however, the company has seen "pockets of softness" after years of breakneck growth, Mr. Stack says.
Weakness overseas remains a wild card for the recovery. If the euro-zone recession gets worse and softness in China and elsewhere persists, that could stall momentum in the U.S. There also are risks closer to home. Fiscal clashes in Washington could further strain consumers and businesses. Already, the federal government has cut spending 4.5% since June 2009, compared with an average 6.3% increase in recoveries since 1970.

Tesseract wrote:alas, no dock cable passthrough though which means I'd have to take it out of this case everytime I got into the car to play through the stereo. So it's a no go this time.
Agreed, i would get it if it allowed me to plug in at the same time.
According to the item description, the micro USB connection on the case allows you to synchronize your iPhone with the case installed. A micro USB cable is included. "Included micro USB cable can fully support charging and computer synchronization with the case installed on your iPhone"
Boxymoron wrote:Now, if they would make this item for Androids, that would be amazing.
Which Android? There are so many. Because of the many phones, and their typically short market life span, it is probably difficult for companies to want to make a new case for every phone. But they certainly exist, do some searching.
janiscor wrote:Curious, is this something that you would advise I always leave on, or something that I can just use when I have a 15 to 16 hour work day? Also does it make sense to charge it separate from the phone? Is that even possible? Is taking it on and off detrimental to the case or phone, if I do it carefully? I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything that will harm either.
The recommended way to use this is to leave it off as long as the iPhone is working fine. Then once the iPhone starts saying its running low anywhere from 20% left to 1% ( your choice) then turn on the power on the case. From that point forward until the case itself is depleted your iPhone will think its plugged to the wall. Except it's plugged to the case and you are using it as normal. Eventually when the case itself is depleted it's time to plug it into the wall. Alternatively plug it in sooner, which won't impact the iPhone battery life, but it may (debatable) impact the case's. Obviously you could ignore this and keep it on all the time. But according to Apple you will be shortening the phone battery's life. By the way the case can also be charged separately by itself. Which doesn't make sense if you use the case all the time but it does if you just want to use the case in special circumstances like charging it before a camping trip or long flight. Or if you need to use the iPhone docked to a non charging device.
jonl wrote:I allow my kids to use it on their iTouches. Yes.
Thank you! In for three. I have to use an itouch for my job (we use them for medical documentation), and the battery never makes it through a day. One for a gift for a friend who uses an Iphone, and one for a backup. Thanks, Woot!
Noo people are still calling the next iPhone a iPhone 5? Stop. 4S- is the 5th gen K? Next phone will be called the "New iPhone" watch. Which will be the 6th Gen btw.
No way to buy the white case? Why list it? That only causes frustration. Bad Woot!
i have (i think) this same case that i bought from woot a while back. i love, love, love it. it's basically another full battery charge for me, so it allows me to use (and i mean, heavily use) my phone all day. if i didn't already have two, i would get another one. but i fear that i might be labeled *that* crazy person if i have more than three of these chargers laying around my house.
djcubinlinx wrote:If they did, it would be the size of a tablet. It would be too big to put to your ear!
I'm not sure why I would need one for my android (droid razr maxx), which has gorilla glass, kevlar, a 3300mAh battery and is 9 mm thick. I guess I could get an iphone and this case and have an almost as durable and almost as long-lasting phone while only 3 times as thick…
If there are woots like me out there that still want a WHITE uNu iPhone 4/4S Battery Case, please speak up. I would love it if there were more of them.
Thanks for all your reviews in for one hope it rocks as much as y'all say.
scasady wrote:No way to buy the white case? Why list it? That only causes frustration. Bad Woot!
Sorry, it's sold out. It was available earlier.
So dumb question about shipping and the notice about physical address at the bottom of the page. I do NOT get US Mail at my house. I have a PO Box. Can I still buy this? Thank you.
in for 1 - sounds like most of you have had good experiences and my current case is falling apart.
Purchased one a few months back and really love this case. I've had almost every case so far and this one has stuck with me the longest. Just bought another in case it breaks. Two problems so far with the case though. I bought the white version the last time and with the case on the camera does not work with the flash on. The photos come out gray. The second problem is the little tabs on the side of the case break off and the top part does not sit flush with the bottom after that happens. I bought the black version this time to see if the camera works correctly with the flash on.
shawnandkelly wrote:So dumb question about shipping and the notice about physical address at the bottom of the page. I do NOT get US Mail at my house. I have a PO Box. Can I still buy this? Thank you.
I think so? There's nobody in CS for me to ask but since there's no notice and it doesn't require a signature, I think you're good to go.
showcaller wrote:For $19.95 it is too good to pass up. Though I have never run my battery all the way down on my iPhone 4 I have come close enough times to make this worthwhile. I do wonder how easy it is to put on and take off if I want to use it discriminately or does it make more sense in all likelihood to just leave it on an forget about it. I am assuming it only charges when connected to the phone so to have it standing by charged probably isn't an option unless of course it holds a charge for awhile. (Am I over thinking this?)
So in my car the headphone cable I use is too big to fit through the case opening for it. When I get into my car I just pop the top part off (easily slides on or off) and plug the cord in. As for the bottom part with the 30 pin connector, it slides on or off easily as well. When you initially put the phone in, or plug the micro USB in, it begins charging the phone. You can either let it charge or hold the power button on the back for 2 seconds and it will stop and just charge the case battery. Overall it is very easy to take in and out.
The micro USB cable works for charging and data transfer. I've ditched the annoying 30 pin in my car and on my computer and use the micro USB.
Wooter to blame for sellout: SumDuud Sellout time: 8:11:25 AM Central Time
This thing sucked for me. Only used it onceand it wouldnt recharge. Good luck
Does Woot still track the number of items sold? I cannot seem to find that number in the new website and I am curious how popular this item was now that it is sold out, which in a way does help me determine the value of future deals...

Go to the first page of the discussion, on WootBot's post, the last line in the first section, before the graphs on purchases, is called Woots sold. I think that's what you were looking for.
flashbeezy wrote:Noo people are still calling the next iPhone a iPhone 5? Stop. 4S- is the 5th gen K? Next phone will be called the "New iPhone" watch. Which will be the 6th Gen btw.
It's still the Iphone 5 because the 4S was not a new phone just a slight upgrade to the 4 (added Siri) while the Iphone 5 is being redone.
Not real sure how I missed this woot! please bring it back soon.
I wonder if they make this in a model that supports a grain of rice jammed into one side of the charging port. The good news is my iphone still works after taking a plunge...the bad news is it's now full of plain dry rice.
Wow, it's here already! Even with 2-day delivery, it wasn't supposed to make it to me until after the 4th. This is like a same day delivery, how does that happen? Thanks Woot!
Congratulations Mike! I ordered two but didn't change the shipping. It shows shipped by USPS but of course the tracking number doesn't show up on the postal service website yet. ugh...
I received the uNu Battery case yesterday and the top piece was cracked. How do I go about getting a replacement/refund. I feel like I'm in search of the Grail when looking for a 'support' telephone number. Heeeelllllllppppp.

Sorry about that. We do not offer phone support, but conduct our customer service via email (email@example.com). I'm going to send you a PM regarding this issue.
collinvh wrote:Not real sure how I missed this woot! please bring it back soon.
I just got mine and its not what I was looking for. There is nothing wrong with it. I am more than willing to sell it to you. E-mail me if your interested. Its the black one. [MOD: Email addy removed. Please use PM instead.]
Got it Saturday (Jul 7) and immediately charged 'er up. It looks and feels good (I like the matte finish) but after a day or two of using it with the case battery 'off,' it looks as though the iPhone battery is draining a little faster than normal. My usual habit is to leave the phone on standby so there's always some drop, but this seems (I say 'seems' at this point) to be dropping faster with the phone in the case. Is it my imagination (loaded question) or has anyone else had this experience?
Love the feel, the fit, and so far, the battery life extension. The only complaint is that it immediately starts charging when I seat it in the case. Each time I seat it in, I have to hold down the button on the back to stop it from providing a charge. I have a Mophie and it only charges when the switch is on. I wish the default setting was to not charge... Anyone have a workaround?
Loving this so far. Now I have two very similar models, this and an xpal. This is a MUCH smarter design than the xpal (indicator LEDs on the back of the case, so they don't drive you nuts while charging like the xpal's LEDs). This has a slightly nicer feel, but feels less cushy (a little less protective if I drop the phone).
Well, after 7 weeks of owning this case, it no longer works. It no longer takes a charge. Wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.

Acacia Theatre's "Malcolm and Teresa"
Playwright Cathal Gallagher will attend opening weekend performances of Acacia Theatre's "Malcolm and Teresa." In the play, a true story juxtaposes two events in BBC reporter Malcolm Muggeridge's life: his exposé of the 1930s' Soviet socialist oppression and his '60s television interviews with a then-unknown Mother Teresa. Her loving response to those suffering overcomes Malcolm's disillusionment and begins his journey of redemption in "Malcolm and Teresa."
All performances will be given in Concordia University Wisconsin's Todd Wehr Auditorium, 12800 North Lake Shore Drive in Mequon, Wis. Performances begin on Oct. 18 and end on Oct. 27, 2013.

(Ecuador, Farmed in Ponds)
Tilapia farmed in ponds in Ecuador is a "Best Choice."
Market Names:
Consumer Notes:
A mild, white fish, tilapia is available year-round. It's available whole, fresh, frozen, or even live in some Asian restaurants. It can also be found as fresh or frozen fillets. Tilapia is known as izumidai when prepared for sushi.
Tilapia is a fast-growing tropical species native to Africa but produced in more than 100 nations - surpassing any other farmed fish. It is the fourth most consumed seafood in the United States after shrimp, tuna and salmon. Tilapia can be farmed in either fresh or salt water. They are omnivores that feed mainly on algae in the wild.
Ecuador is the main exporter of fresh tilapia fillets to the U.S. market. Ecuadorian tilapia is raised with shrimp in ponds. About half of the waste produced by the fish and shrimp is broken down in the ponds. The remaining waste is treated before being discharged.
Ecuadorian tilapia farms stock their ponds with fewer fish than is common in the industry, thereby reducing disease and the need for use of chemicals. Water quality is frequently monitored to limit environmental impact.
Ecuadorean tilapia is fed a diet with low levels of fishmeal and no fish oil. The fishmeal is from waste products such as tuna offal, reducing its impact on wild fish populations. The other ingredients are crop-based, such as soy.
Tilapia farmed in the U.S. and Ecuador is your "Best Choice," while tilapia farmed in China and Taiwan is a "Good Alternative."

Syracuse had four players score their first goals of the season, but still lose both games played.
While focus is on last seasons trade between the two clubs, tonight is a confrontation of two teams playing inconsistently as of late.
It would have been easy to write off the Lightning when Steven Stamkos went down with a broken leg, but the Bolts, while not thriving, are surviving. How are they doing it? The Raw Charge team takes a look.
The defenseman, despite struggling with his own injures, has 10 points in 13 games with Syracuse this season.
As the injury bug continues to fester around the Lightning, the veteran forward will be out for more time.
Syracuse ends the holiday week on an upswing, stopping their losing streak at five and winning both of their weekend games. The team is now a quarter of the way through the AHL season.
We saw a superstar on the road to recovery Monday, we honored a superstar for his efforts Monday night, and tonight we welcome back a former hero wearing the colors of a heated rival.
The Russian right wing opens scoring on his first everything in the NHL
Injuries and a recent lack of scoring lead the Lightning to break with their normal player-development mantra in recalling the AHL rookie.
The Lightning hope to stave off a winless and pointless road trip tonight in Anaheim, they make a roster move that will shake things up a touch.

Adam Duritz Owes Every Dime He's Ever Made To Shitty, Early Bruce Spingsteen
Recently my giant younger brother and I joined a couple of broads at a karaoke night for an atrocious version of "Mr. Jones" by Counting Crows. I used to really like the song as a kid, and I still see it's appeal, but ultimately I have ultimately come to realize the Counting Crows are total shit. Not only that, but their stupid looking, trying-too-hard lead singer owes his entire career to one, incredibly shitty Bruce Springsteen song.
The same shitty Bruce song that made Manfred Mann a hit.
Originally I was going to go through both songs, but that seems incredibly time consuming. Just listen to both these hacks mumble there way through meaningless songs.

My husband forces me to do oral sex with him. When all this started couple of years ago, I refused to do that but he gets angry on me and not only he separated his bed, he stop talking to me as well. When I tried to confront him with this as "haram" act, he challenges me to find any authenticate narration in support of my argument which I failed to find. All I was able to find oral sex as "makroh" at worst and thing which is prohibited is to tastes the discharge coming out. To confront this argument, he started using condoms but did not stop the practice. I had the argument once again with him around a month ago and this time his response was harsh, he said if I don't want to please me, he does not want to keep me. In other words, not directly but he threaten me with divorce. My hesitation with this act is more from religious standing. I pray and fast and practice Islam in my daily life. I have read multiple boards on the issue but none of them gives a clear answer. I am more confuse then enlighten on the issue. Some of them talk about morality and some of then talk from hygiene perspective but no clear answer from Islamic point of view. Please ease my situation and answer me in black and white about the ruling on oral sex. In my situation, should I seek the separation/divorce if my husband keeps insisting me in engaging oral sex or I am over stressing myself on an act which is permissible between husband and wife? |

EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. (AP) — The Red River's premier catfish tournament saw fewer but fatter fish this year, and also a record winning catch.
The winning team of Troy Srnsky and Zach Srnsky of Warren, Minn., caught a Cats Incredible tournament-record 91.5 pounds of fish. Zach Srnsky also hauled in the biggest fish of the tournament, a 22.08-pounder. The father-and-son team won a total of $5,000.
A total of 677 catfish were caught, weighed and released during the two days by 300 anglers in 150 boats, spread up and down the Red River from East Grand Forks.
That was down from the 970 caught during last year's tournament. The total weight of just under 5,000 pounds also was down, from about 6,500 last year.
But the average fish this year weighed 7.34 pounds, up from 6.75 pounds last year.

Mansard roof
A mansard or mansard roof (also called a French roof or curb roof) is a four-sided gambrel-style hip roof characterised by two slopes on each of its sides with the lower slope, punctured by dormer windows, at a steeper angle than the upper.[1][2][3] The steep roof with windows creates an additional floor of habitable space,[4] (a garret), and reduces the overall height of the roof for a given number of habitable storeys. The upper slope of the roof may not be visible from street level when viewed from close proximity to the building.
The earliest known example of a Mansard roof is credited to Pierre Lescot on part of the Louvre built around 1550. This roof design was popularised in the early 17th century by François Mansart (1598–1666), an accomplished architect of the French Baroque period.[5] It became especially fashionable during the Second French Empire (1852–1870) of Napoléon III.[6] Mansard in Europe also means the attic (garret) space itself, not just the roof shape[7] and is often used in Europe to mean a gambrel roof.
Two distinct traits of the mansard roof – steep sides and a double pitch – sometimes lead to it being confused with other roof types. Since the upper slope of a mansard roof is rarely visible from the ground, a conventional single-plane roof with steep sides may be misidentified as a mansard roof. The gambrel roof style, commonly seen in barns in North America, is a close cousin of the mansard. Both mansard and gambrel roofs fall under the general classification of "curb roofs" (a pitched roof that slopes away from the ridge in two successive planes).[8] However, the mansard is a curb hip roof, with slopes on all sides of the building, and the gambrel is a curb gable roof, with slopes on only two sides. (The curb is a horizontal heavy timber directly under the intersection of the two roof surfaces.)
A significant difference between the two, for snow loading and water drainage, is that, when seen from above, Gambrel roofs culminate in a long, sharp point at the main roof beam, whereas Mansard roof always form a flat roof.
In France and Germany, no distinction is made between gambrels and mansards – they are both called "mansards". In the French language, mansarde can be a term for the style of roof, or for the garret living space, or attic, directly within it.[9]
The Mansard style makes maximum use of the interior space of the attic and offers a simple way to add one or more storeys to an existing (or new) building without necessarily requiring any masonry.[10][11] Often the decorative potential of the Mansard is exploited through the use of convex or concave curvature and with elaborate dormer window surrounds.
One frequently seen explanation for the popularity of the mansard style is that it served to shelter its owners against taxes as well as rain. One such example of this claim, from the 1914 book, How to Make a Country Place, reads, "Monsieur Mansard is said to have circumvented that senseless window tax of France by adapting the windowed roof that bears his name." This is improbable in many respects: Mansart was a profligate spender of his clients' money, and while a French window tax did exist, it was enacted in 1798, 132 years after Mansart's death, and did not exempt mansard windows.[12][13][14]
Later examples suggest that either French or American buildings were taxed by their height (or number of storeys) to the base of the roof, or that mansards were used to bypass zoning restrictions.[15][16] This last explanation is the nearest to the truth: a Parisian law had been in place since 1783, restricting the heights of buildings to 20 metres (65 feet).[17] The height was only measured up to the cornice line, making any living space contained in a mansard roof exempt.[18] A 1902 revision of the law permitted building three or even four storeys within such a roof.[19]
History and use[edit]
Early use[edit]
The style was popularized in France by architect François Mansart (1598–1666). Although he was not the inventor of the style, his extensive and prominent use of it in his designs gave rise to the term "mansard roof", an adulteration of his name.[12] The design tradition was continued by numerous architects, including Jules Hardouin-Mansart, (1675–1683), his great nephew, who is responsible for Château de Dampierre in Dampierre-en-Yvelines.
Second Empire[edit]
The mansard roof became popular once again during Haussmann's renovation of Paris beginning in the 1850s, in an architectural movement known as "Second Empire style".
Second Empire influence spread throughout the world, frequently adopted for large civic structures such as government administration buildings and city halls, as well as hotels and railway stations. In the United States and Canada, and especially in New England, the Second Empire influence spread to family residences and mansions, often corrupted with Italianate and Gothic Revival elements. A mansard-topped tower became a popular element incorporated into many designs.[20][21][22]
20th century[edit]
The 1916 Zoning Resolution adopted by New York City promoted the use of mansard roofs; rules requiring the use of setbacks on tall buildings were conducive to the mansard design.[24][25]
In the late-1970s and 1980s, commercial builders became interested in postmodern stylistic elements and adapted the mansard for new residential housing and apartment buildings in many areas of the United States. The outward appearance of a mansard roof has also been adapted as a façade on numerous small commercial buildings. These are not true mansard roofs in most cases; they are actually flat roofs and the sloped façade provides a way to conceal heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment from persons at ground level.

Highly touted Turner set to face hometown team
Tigers prospect opposes Lohse in Interleague series rubber match
Turner will make his anticipated 2012 debut on Thursday against his hometown team, taking the hill against the Cardinals in the rubber match of a three-game series in Detroit.
The 21-year-old Turner, the ninth overall pick in the 2009 MLB First-Year Player Draft, was 0-1 with an 8.53 ERA over three starts in 2011. Turner will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo, where he was 2-1 with a 3.43 ERA in seven starts this year.
Turner will duel with Cardinals right-hander Kyle Lohse. Lohse is 6-2 this season, and allowed three runs on 10 hits in his last start. He's thrown well in June, however, allowing four earned runs in 20 2/3 innings over three starts.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland spoke highly of how many Cardinals players go about their business and play the game, including David Freese, Allen Craig and Skip Schumaker.
"I talked to the old skipper this morning, and I told him, 'No wonder you won the World Series with that team.' I was kidding, of course, but they're good," Leyland said, referring to former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa. "They got what I've talked about all my life. They've got baseball players that are athletes. Not athletes that are baseball players. They got baseball players."
Cardinals: Carpenter's bullpen sessions going well
Chris Carpenter threw his fourth bullpen session on Wednesday since he began throwing off a mound last week. He hopes to begin throwing to batters as the next step in his recovery from nerve irritation in his right shoulder.
Carpenter will throw batting practice during the Cardinals weekend series in Kansas City if he doesn't feel any pain on Thursday.
"The last few bullpens have been full-effort with all my pitches, making sure that I'm doing all the things I need to do to progress to that next step," Carpenter said. "I feel good. I really do. My shoulder feels good. My body feels good. The effort level has been there, too."
Carpenter began traveling with the club this week, something he hadn't done since the Cardinals' season-opener in Miami. This has made it possible for Matheny and pitching coach Derek Lilliquist to observe Carpenter's progress.
Jon Jay, who went on the disabled list last month with a strained right shoulder, played seven innings in center field and went 2-for-4 with a homer, a triple, three RBIs and three runs scored on Wednesday in his second rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis.
Tigers: Valverde sidelined with wrist injury
Closer Jose Valverde will miss at least the next three to four days with a sprained wrist, an injury he suffered while warming up in the bullpen on Tuesday night. He is not expected to be put on the disabled list.
Valverde underwent an MRI that showed inflammation around the flexor tendon in his wrist. He said on Wednesday his wrist was still sore, but it felt far better than it did on Tuesday. Valverde will wear a wrist immobilizer for the next few days before he's re-examined.
"We're just going to treat him day to day and go from there," Tigers head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said on Wednesday. "We're not thinking it's a long-term situation."
Rand said Andy Dirks, who's been sidelined since May 31 with Achilles tendinitis, hasn't had any significant changes in his recovery. Rand said Dirks still has some residual soreness and is also using a walking boot.
Worth noting
The Cardinals and Tigers have played 28 times, with Detroit owning an 18-10 advantage.
Prince Fielder is 6-for-26 lifetime against Lohse, with a double and three RBIs.
