Majestic developers 'devastated' by blaze
Leeds-based property company Rushbond, which owns The Majestic and carried out recent restoration as part of the programme to bring the building back to life, says it is 'absolutely devastated' by what has happened.
...from the number of people who are already contacting us and the messages we have received, it's clear that the people of Leeds share our sentiment at seeing this happen to such a much loved landmark building.
We're extremely grateful to all the emergency services and Leeds City Council who all worked tirelessly throughout the night and performed a sterling job in bringing the fire under control and managing the situation. We will now work closely with the authorities and will await the outcome of their investigation.
We hope to progress with repairing the damage as soon as practically possible and will provide a more detailed update as soon as we have a clearer understanding of what's happened and have fully assessed the extent of the damage.

One arrest following Majestyk fire
A man has been arrested following a large fire at the Majestyk in Leeds city centre.
Detectives say they are working with the fire service to work out how the blaze started.
We are working closely with fire service investigators to establish the cause of the fire and that process is at a very early stage. It is too early to say whether the cause of the fire has been suspicious. The fire has caused significant damage to the building leaving the roof unsafe, which means it is likely to take some time before the scene can be fully examined.
A 32-year-old man was arrested last night after witnesses reported seeing a man acting suspiciously in the area. He remains in custody at this time.
The fire was reported at about 7.20pm last night and I would appeal for anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the area in the time leading up to it to contact us.
Road closures and diversions remain in place around City Square and police officers are in the area.
Pictures: Fire hit former club refurbishment plans
The building which used to house the Majestyk nightclub was undergoing a refurbishment at the time of the fire.
These pictures show what the inside would have looked like upon completion. The dome section of the building was destroyed in the blazed.

Concessionary Bridge tolls start for cancer patients
Cancer patients from North and North East Lincolshire who are beginning treatment at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham will start to benefit from concessionary bridge tolls today.
Last month, the Humber Bridge Board announced that it would be using the discretion afforded by the new Humber Bridge Act to enable certain patients receiving cancer treatment to cross toll-free for a trial six-month period.
Now the first patients to benefit from the concessions will be able to travel across the Humber Bridge for treatment without having to worry about the cost of their crossings.
An estimated 60 cancer patients per month will benefit from toll-free crossings, with tickets administered through Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Question & Answers
Answer from: Cian409
The highest level for a zombie is 25 as my zombie cards are already close at 24 to their highest skills
Answer from: Cow
Is it worth going up to 24? It cost so many tokens to level them up once they get to around 13 some of them.
Answer from: Dmetc
The max card level is 40, I have a level 40 tiger shark
Answer from: Maripoa
It all goes buy your card's strength. I have two cards, one is a higher level then the other yet the lower level is stronger. When you fuse you should fuse using the same classification. They will become stronger quicker then if you were to use a different one. Its all about how many levels it takes to get your card to the max stats. Plus you will always save money and gain more strength quicker if you fill up all six slots and use your strongest normal cards.
Answer from: NICKisSELLING/S
For N its 20 for N+ its 25 for rare its 40 for R+ its 50 and for S its 60 and S+ its 70.
Answer from: Jaime234
It can't be cuz I have a n+ over lv 25 and it keeps getting stronger, I think n+ Max level is 30 because if u look at Wat nickisselling/s is saying all cards are apart from 10 levels

Photos show crack in Duke Energy coal ash dam visible before state inspection
Send this story to a friend
- John Downey
- Senior Staff Writer- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
(Page 3 of 4)
Kritzer says DENR's concern was that the crack was pushing the earth below it out into the ash pond and was bending back a "riser" pipe in the pond.
Risers are vertical pipes that attach to a horizontal pipe which goes under the dam to release excess water. They are designed to siphon the cleanest water off the top of the pond when the water rises. The sediment containing the coal ash settles out of the water, and is found at its higher concentrations the farther down you go in the pond.
Kritzer says DENR feared the pressure from the shifting dam would crack the pipe and cause a leak of ash-laden water into the local tributary and out into the river.
That's Burdette's fear as well. "If there is a break in the pipe under the dam, that would be essentially what you saw at the Dan River," he says.
Closer examination
Dove says he did not notice the crack when he was originally taking the pictures.
"When you are flying 120 miles an hour up at 1,000 feet, there are things your eyes won't pick up," he says. "The camera is your friend. It sees things your eyes don't."
After reports of the crack in the dam came out, Dove says people in the alliance asked him to go back through the pictures more carefully. He said he took some time because he took more than 1,000 photographs. He was able to find several shots that showed the crack clearly.
He also returned to the site on March 23 and took aerial photographs of the repairs done by Duke. The repairs were obviously done in the area where the March 10 photos showed the crack.
Kritzer says he does not believe the water-quality inspectors who went to the site March 11 noticed the crack. They were focused on collecting water samples and noting conditions at the discharge points where the five ponds release water into local tributaries of the Cape Fear River, he says.

The Wolfman (15)
Slight, but it's perfectly formed
Friday 12 February 2010
Contrary to A Single Man, in my experience an English professor is more likely to resemble The Wolfman – scary teeth, hair sprouting from his ears, and so on. Inspired by the 1941 Universal film, starring Lon Chaney ("His hideous howl a dirge of death!"), this remake stars Benicio Del Toro as estranged son Lawrence Talbot returning to his family's estate in Victorian England to investigate the disappearance of his brother. There he is uneasily reunited with his father (Anthony Hopkins) and introduced to his brother's pale and interesting fiancée Gwen (Emily Blunt).
When the unfortunate brother's corpse is discovered, viciously mauled, an alarm is raised through the local village ("Blackmoor", if you please). "The savagery of the attack would suggest an animal – or a lunatic," says Inspector Aberline (Hugo Weaving), just up from London after failing to solve the Ripper murders. With the full moon riding high and unearthly howls echoing from the moor, it's only a matter of time before Benicio discovers the horrible secret of his patrimony – and the audience discovers what a lousy job the film-makers are doing to frighten us.
I didn't mind the old Gothic stand-bys of the haunted country mansion (Chatsworth House under a cladding of decrepitude), misty woods, dank dungeons and ominous silhouettes, nor was I much bothered by Anthony Hopkins being barely conscious during his performance. (Will anyone dare to wake him?). What really killed the suspense was the sight of the Wolfman himself, in spite of legendary make-up artist Rick Baker on design duty. He it was who created Michael Jackson's werewolf in the "Thriller" video, and turned Jack Nicholson fanged and hairy in Wolf (1994), the last time lycanthropy got a major outing. The magic appears to have deserted Mr Baker, because at the appearance of the hirsute fiend what I heard in the stalls wasn't gasps of horror but giggles of mirth. The film's last-minute gesture to a sequel was surely made in hope rather than expectation.

Eurogamer, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg said that he expects Kinect to sell more units during its launch period than the Wii did when it launched in 2006. "We'll definitely sell more sensors than the Wii sold when it launched or the Xbox 360 sold when it launched," said Greenberg, though he doesn't necessarily believe that sales will be dependent on high review scores. He noted that Kinect offers "different types of titles and experiences" than what most core users are used to.
"The correlation between a review score for Halo: Reach and sales is very high, but Kinect Sports is more about just having fun," said Greenberg, adding that Microsoft would certainly like to see high review scores, though he doesn't expect "the same type of correlation between reviews and actual sales of the game." Greenberg's comments echo similar comments from EA's Peter Moore last year, when he stated that casual Wii game sales are more dependent on Amazon user reviews than Metacritic.
Check out the whole interview for Greenberg's thoughts on Steel Batallion, Black Ops versus Halo: Reach and PlayStation Move, which he doesn't see as direct competition for Kinect

Posted December 28, 2012 on AP on Fox
Rafael Nadal says he will not play at the Australian Open, further delaying his comeback that has him off the courts since June. The 26-year-old Spaniard has been forced to withdraw from the Grand Slam event from Jan. 14-27 and the preceding Qatar Open due to a nagging stomach virus. The same virus kept him from making his return at Abu Dhabi this week. Nadal says in a statement that ''my knee is much better (...) but this virus didn't allow me to practice this past week and therefore I am sorry to announce that I will not play in Doha and the Australian Open.'' Nadal has been sidelined with tendinitis in his left knee since a second-round loss to then 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol at Wimbledon in June.

Did not cook one thing today, hubby did it all....
Thanks. I'll take any advice not to cook. =)
thanks :)
Foodscopes! :) Love the one for this Sunday. I really want to make Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes now.
No thank you no meat for me at least red meat, I'm a flexitarian, meaning I only eat chicken on occassions!
I wish I could be enjoying the tomato seedlings lovingly growing from heirloom seed and set out 24 May this year. July was literally a 'wash-out' of rain and very little sunshine here in SW Ontario, Canada. I AM adding lush basil leaves to everything I prepare - usually I'd have red rosy tomatoes to go with the basil but not this year.
Yes, do serve traditional food but maybe add a tabbouleh salad and a platter of colourful vegetable kabobs. You may have takers! Enjoy your Independence Day barbeques! I'm Canadian and we celebrated the birth of our country, Canada Day last weekend. Have fun and bon appetit!

Cory Brandon back in the lineup
NORMAN — There was no way to defend Cory Brandon. Though the same is often said of all-time greats, this was no compliment. "That's his fault," said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, of his right tackle after the Sooners 14-13 loss to Brigham Young. "There's no reason to have that many penalties."
Brandon had five penalties, in fact, including a pair of false starts that derailed the first drive of Oklahoma's season, back when the Sooners were undefeated and had Sam Bradford still under center. A worse start to a season would have been difficult to imagine. Brandon helped put a surprising early stain on what most thought could be a pristine record for at least the first six weeks of the season, and perhaps longer. And Brandon's five flags — three false starts and a pair of holding penalties — earned him a free sideline pass until the Sooners' third conference game. It took a month of scorching preseason camp for Brandon to earn one of those five starting spots. Three hours and 16 minutes after his first play, it was gone. "If you're a competitive person, you want to battle through things like that," said offensive line coach James Patton. Brandon's not sure how, but he has. He made his second consecutive start against Kansas State, beating out Jarvis Jones to regain his right tackle duties. "I don't feel like you ever earned your spot," Brandon said. "There's always competition when there's good players around.
Cory Brandon→Class: Junior →Height: 6-7 →Weight: 310 →Hometown: Corsicana, Texas →Fast facts: Started season opener but was penalized five times and did not start again until Oct. 24 against Kansas. First-year starter who appeared in nine games as a sophomore.

This brings the company's total funding up to $17 million.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Branding Brand, the largest mobile commerce platform to major retailers, today announced that it has secured $9.5 million in Series B funding led by existing investor Insight Venture Partners.

Hennion, former Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer, at GNC and Dick's Sporting Goods, as President; Bibhash Das, former Senior Director, Account Management, Americas, at Adobe, as Vice President, Client Services; and John Disarlo, former Senior National Sales Leader at V.me by Visa, as Vice President, Business Development.
"We are growing our team, as well as our reach," said Chris Mason, Branding Brand co-founder and CEO. "With nearly $1 billion in transactions running through our platform, and our recent expansion into hospitality and transportation, it is a very exciting time."
"We recognized the opportunity and vision for Branding Brand earlier in the company's evolution, and given their strong momentum, we are delighted to lead this new financing," said Ryan Hinkle, Managing Director at Insight Venture Partners. "The Branding Brand team has shown tremendous innovation and thought leadership in the rapidly-evolving world of mobile enablement."
Branding Brand powers mobile commerce sites and apps for over 200 of the world's leading retailers, including American Eagle Outfitters, Costco, and Ralph Lauren. Founded in 2008 by three friends from Carnegie Mellon University, the company launched a mobile platform at the end of 2009 to seamlessly extend brands into optimized experiences for smartphones, tablets, and in-store. It is now the largest m-commerce provider to the Internet Retailer Top 500. For more information, visit http://www.brandingbrand.com.

More quote details and news » have each more than quadrupled in value over the five years through September. But their shares have tumbled of late because of shriveling profit margins, subscriber losses and earnings that failed to meet Wall Street's lofty expectations, respectively.
That could be a coincidence, or it could signal a long-awaited shift in the types of stocks that outperform. Cautious investors should prune their portfolios of high-expectation stocks just in case.
Researchers have long studied the relationship between "value" and "growth" stocks. The difference mostly has to do with price. Value stocks are cheap relative to fundamental measures of value like earnings and the book value of assets. Growth stocks are pricey, because buyers expect fast growth in those measures.
Long-term investing favors value stocks. The cheapest one-10th of U.S. stocks relative to projected earnings have outperformed the most expensive one-tenth by 9.1 percentage points a year on average since 1968, according to Brandes Investment Partners, a San Diego money manager.
But growth stocks sometimes reign for years at a time. Over five years through September, the Standard & Poor's 500 Pure Growth index, of which Amazon, Netflix and Apple are members, has returned 3.9% a year, versus a 1.5% yearly loss for its value sibling. (Over the past month, Pure Value has outperformed.)
Jeff Bezos of Amazon: Shrinking profit margins have hurt its stock price. Agence France-Presse/Getty Images
It might seem odd that investors favored high-priced stocks during years that included a financial crisis and slowing economic growth, but Brandes analyst Nick Magnuson says that fits the historic pattern. When greed and fear are balanced, as they usually are, value wins, but when investors become overwhelmingly greedy (dot-com stock bubble) or fearful (recent years), growth prevails.
"When investors are fearful, they start to worry that the flaws that are inherent in value stocks could be fatal, and they want to hold comfortable, popular stocks," he says. Once fear subsides, he says, investors realize that value stocks have gotten too cheap.
That shift is overdue, says Mr. Magnuson. The gap between the market's cheapest and most-expensive stocks is unusually wide, and in the past that has signaled a good time to buy value stocks, he says.
Savita Subramanian, a strategist with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, agrees with the thesis but not the timing. Long-term investors should favor value stocks, because 80% of the return of stocks is explained by valuation, she says. But growth stocks might continue their run until next year's presidential election because, amid political bickering over how best to address budget shortfalls, slowing economic growth and other challenges, investors might seek the comfort of popular stocks.
There's one thing Mr. Magnuson and Ms. Subramanian agree that investors should buy now, however: value stocks with fat dividend yields. "If you think about it, the two things that are scarce right now for investors are growth and yield," says Ms. Subramanian. "So while I think growth will outperform over the next year, I also think stable dividends will be in high demand."

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Grocer Loblaw Companies Ltd. focusing on smaller stores, high-quality fresh food
The head of Loblaw Companies, the country's largest supermarket chain, said Thursday that savvy shoppers are no longer just looking to pay the lowest prices they can for food.
Galen G. Weston, the company's executive chairman and newly named president, said Thursday that data from its latest quarter showed that customers are willing to pay more if they can get a wide assortment of high quality fresh food.
"Early indications across the board suggest that when we put the right proposition in front of the customer, price is not the biggest determinant of what they choose to buy," Weston said after Loblaw released quarterly financial results.
Weston said that shelling out more for produce is a trend that can be tracked across nearly all of the grocer's banners, including at its discount chain, No Frills.
Loblaw is currently navigating its way through a competitive time in the grocery industry, with U.S. entrants like Target, Amazon and Walmart trying to lure away customers with lower prices and low-cost or free shipping.
On top of that, the food retailer is also facing inflationary pressure with the rising cost of beef and produce. Weston said the company absorbed some of the cost difference in the last quarter and didn't raise prices sharply.
Canada's domestic supermarket giants have responded to increased competition by adding or expanding stores. Last year, Sobeys bought Safeway Canada for $5.8 billion and Loblaw began the process of acquiring Shoppers Drug Mart.
The Competition Bureau gave conditional approval of the $12.4-billion Shoppers deal in March but required Loblaw to sell a number of locations — a process that hasn't been completed.
In its latest results, Loblaw (TSX:L) reported a loss of $456 million or $1.13 per share for the three-month period ended June 14. The loss compared with a profit of $177 million, or 63 cents per share in the same quarter of 2013. However, excluding the adjustments related to the Shoppers acquisition and other one-time items, the company said it earned $301 million, or 75 cents per share, for the quarter compared with a profit of $181 million, or 64 cents per share a year ago.
Analysts on average had expected a profit of 67 cents per share, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.
The grocer said the addition of Shoppers Drug Mart helped boost revenue nearly 40 per cent to $10.3 billion compared with $7.5 billion year-over-year. Sales at Shoppers totalled $2.61 billion in the quarter and its same-store sales increased 2.5 per cent over the second quarter of 2013.
For the second quarter, Loblaw said the square footage of its supermarkets grew by about one per cent, below the industry rate of three per cent. Despite this, the company reported retail sales were up 1.6 per cent and same-store sales were up 1.8 per cent.
Although it's actively working at reducing the square-footage at its Real Canadian Superstores, Loblaw said it will continue to open smaller, more high-end "Inspired" locations like the one inside Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens
It currently operates 19 of these stores, mostly in Ontario and Quebec, and said they've been well-received by a wider audience than initially thought. The company hasn't committed to how many more locations it will open, but guessed that figure will sit around 50.
The growth in sales can partly be attributed to the company's focus on utilizing one of its "greatest strengths": its loyalty programs, which help it collect important sales data so it can offer tailored discounts to repeat customers. The Shoppers Optimum program has more than 10 million active members, while the PC Plus program has more than six million members.
RBC analyst Irene Nattel said Loblaw delivered better than expected results by "ticking all the boxes investors are looking for."
In addition to Shoppers Drug Mart and its main grocery store business, which includes several other banners, Loblaw also operates the clothing line Joe Fresh, real estate trust Choice Properties and financial services division President's Choice Financial.

Anyone get Unemployment
Posted in the Barbourville Forum
1 - 4 of 4 Comments Last updated Feb 17, 2013
#1 Feb 17, 2013
Anyone get approved and start getting cheks and then receive an appeal letter that there would be a hearing? If so, how long did it take to get the hearing and did you get a lawyer and did you win?
#2 Feb 17, 2013
I can tell you how this works, I know someone in my family who went through this.
Okay, so you started receiving benefits and then the company you worked for appealed UE's decision (UE=Unemployment). You can continue drawing while you're on appeal. Continue to request your checks and do your elgibility review. Remember, if you ultimately lose, you have to repay the money.
The first hearing will be farily simple. You can call witnesses, but it's mostly cut and dry over the phone. If you win this hearing, the employer can appeal that decision, but it usually will do no good.
In my friends case, he lost the first appeal. If you do, you will appeal this decision and it will go to Frankfort to the Unemployment Commission. Be forewarned, if you lose the first hearing, don't worry. BUT you could be up to six months getting your benefits back.
Remember though, you can continue drawing on this 1st appeal until a ruling is issued. My family member did all this without a lawyer.
If you were fired through no fault of your own, you should have nothing to worry about.
#3 Feb 17, 2013
How long did it take for the first hearing to be held by phone and the decision to be rendered? t would be hard to make it 6 months with no income.
#4 Feb 17, 2013
Thank you very much for the info you gave me. I don't know if I need a lawyer and don't know who deals with this kind of thing.

If you want a better job, watch your #@$% language.
A new CareerBuilder survey of almost 2,300 hiring managers and nearly 3,900 full-time workers found that not only do employees swear a lot, it may affect their chances of moving up.
Half of surveyed workers reported cursing in the office, with 95 percent of those doing it in front of co-workers, 51 percent in front of their boss, and – surprise – just 13 percent doing so in front of senior leaders and 7 percent in front of clients.
Men are only slightly more likely than women to swear: 54 percent versus 47 percent. And while two-thirds of employers consider swearing immature, it's middle-aged employees who have the most foul mouths. Less than half of those under 25 or over 55 say they swear at work.
Nearly two-thirds of employers said they would "think less of" employees who swear frequently, and a majority (57 percent) said they would be less likely to promote them because of it.
A majority also said "swearing at work makes an employee appear less intelligent." The funny thing is, employers admit swearing too. One in four swears at his employees and co-workers. Not discussed in the survey: favorite curses.
Besides biting your tongue, here are some tips to improve your odds of a raise or promotion…
1. Dress appropriately
Piercings, visible tattoos, wrinkled clothes, messy hair, casual clothes, chewed fingernails, and too much makeup can all hurt your chances, according to hiring managers. So can too much perfume/cologne or bad breath.
2. Don't abuse technology
Used properly, tech can save you time at work. But sending email to the wrong recipients, texting during business meetings, griping about the boss on Facebook, and other online blunders can hurt your career. Pocket the phone.
3. Leap at educational opportunities
Earning a new position may mean learning new things. Volunteer for any training opportunities the company offers, or any projects that might offer you new skills and experience. Taking up work nobody else wants can also make you stand out.
4. Stay connected
Take advantage of networking opportunities and events – others in the company might know of openings you haven't heard about. Maintaining visibility also means managers will be more likely to think of you when new positions open up.
5. Ask questions
Any time there's an opportunity for performance assessment, ask your boss what you could be doing better and what could take you to the next level. Pay attention to any criticism and make it as obvious as possible you're working on improving.
6. Show results
Keep track of your success. Make notes of any quantifiable improvement you make to the company's bottom line and any new ideas you've introduced. There's no need to brag, but take credit where it's due. And even if your contributions aren't being recognized or rewarded, they still might be bullet points on your resume for the next job.
