Seeking solutions for Sonic gloom
All right, after sifting through another 2,500 e-mails Thursday night and Friday morning, we had to run a sequel to the "Save The Sonics" piece from Thursday. Allow me four points before we turn it over to the readers: Point No. 1: There's one solution David Stern could facilitate -- you know, assuming he cares at all about not murdering the Sonics in Seattle -- that seems so remarkably logical, it's hard to figure how this couldn't work. The NBA failed in Memphis, and the Grizzlies are currently for sale, right? Well, couldn't Stern broker a sale in which Clay Bennett acquired the Grizzlies at a discount and moved them to Oklahoma City, then sold the Sonics to a group of local buyers? (An article in Friday's Seattle Times says numerous local buyers are lining up.) That wouldn't make everyone happy? We lose one of the weakest NBA cities (Memphis) and gain a city that was routinely selling out Hornets games (Oklahoma City), and if that's not enough, Seattle gets to keep the franchise it has had for 41 seasons.
Wal-mart's giving Southern Shopping Center businesses a reason to ...
If they're waiting for their computer to be fixed, they do some shopping, then come back," he said. Consumer Viola Needham has been drawn to Wal-Mart because it's less busy than the one close to her house on Military Highway, she said. Needham, who's retired, opened her plastic bag and pulled out two bras. She paid about $18 for both at Wal-Mart. They cost $20 at the nearby Kmart, she said. "It just gives you more shopping power," Needham said of the retailer's prices. Tristan Lucas, an Old Dominion University junior who once lived in Bentonville, unloaded her young daughter from her shopping cart, which ballooned over with groceries. "It's not my No. 1 choice of a store," she said, "but whenever you get everything in one place, it's convenient." Jennifer Jiggetts, (757) 446-2643, jennifer.jiggetts@pilotonline.com .
BUILDERS DO LOTS OF RESEARCH
An option gives the company the right to buy the land at an agreed-upon price within a certain time limit, said Garrett Hinds, Trumark's architectural director. Market research comes next. It involves identifying potential buyers - the Homebuyer family, Ms. Homeshopper or someone else - and their budget. To find that information, researchers get demographic information from the city, the latest U.S. census and the state Finance Department. How old are the would-be buyers? What's their ethnicity? What's their household structure - single, couple, number of children, multi-generation? Are they first-time buyers, move-up buyers or downsizers? Each factor influences what's built. For example, the Olson Co. caters to first-time buyers or buyers moving up to their second home.
Judge Mark Fuller - Asshole or diligent, obedient, and greedy foot ...
The above from a Harpers column last year. http://www.harpers.org/archive/2007/08/hbc-9000076... Last Sunday, 60 Minutes broadcast its story on the travesty that is the Siegelman conviction. Just before and since, Karl Rove's personal fingerprints have been found to be on the whole mess. To put it bluntly, the top GOP leadership did everything and anything they could to stop a man who was popular enough to be elected (and possibly be a Rovian victim of election fraud) and suffer the consequences. People like Judge Mark Fuller represent everything that is wrong with the US legal system. Funny, he is too twisted and obedient to recognize the damage he does. To paraphrase Sir Douglas Adams, tongue in cheek, Mark Fuller and his criminal cabal will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
Dish Network trial begins
Baker said that after Hesabi-Cartwright left, she was transferred to the executive suite where she sat just outside the offices of Kelly, Ergen and President Michael Dugan. Within her first month, Dugan invited her into his office to show Baker photos from his trip to the Playboy Mansion, which "made her uncomfortable," said her attorney Robert Truhlar. Baker also, among other things, overheard executives make "vulgar and sexist" remarks about female co-workers, Truhlar said. She and other employees complained repeatedly to the head of human resources but none of the complaints was ever documented or investigated, he said. Dish attorney Martinez showed jurors e-mails indicating that Baker had a friendly relationship with Dugan and Kelly, whom she later accused of harassment, and that any complaints she made to human resources about their behavior were "general" and lacked urgency.
Gunman infiltrates Jewish seminary in Jerusalem, eight killed
A PALESTINIAN gunman opened fire inside a Jewish religious school in Jerusalem today, killing eight teens as violence in the region continues to escalate. Eight students at the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva in predominantly Jewish west Jerusalem were shot dead and another nine wounded when a Palestinian from east Jerusalem entered the building and started shooting, police said. "The terrorist arrived with a packet in his hand, got out a weapon and started firing, killing eight people and wounding nine others,'' Aharon Franco, head of Jerusalem district police, told reporters on the scene. The head of the school, Rabbi Haim Katz, told AFP that all the victims were between 15 and 16 years old. The attacker was shot dead by law enforcement forces, Franco said. Israel's main ally the United States slammed the "act of terror and depravity'' and the United Nations Security Council said it would hold an emergency meeting later Thursday in the wake of the attack.Ambulances rushed to the school while helicopters circled in the skies after what marked the first major attack in Jerusalem since Feburary 2004, when a suicide bomber killed eight people and himself aboard a bus.
Winter Soldier Hearings
Get ready for the horrible, honest reality of the American occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan like you haven't heard it before. For four days, from March 13 through March 16, hundreds of U.S. veterans of the two wars will descend on Washington and testify in the "Winter Soldier" hearings about what they really did while they were serving their country in Iraq. And their experiences aren't pretty. The event is inspired by the Winter Solider tribunal held in 1971 by Vietnam War vets, including John Kerry. The name comes from a quote from Thomas Paine, the revolutionary who rallied George Washington's troops at Valley Forge, saying: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." Paine was trying to keep Washington's army from deserting in the face of a bitter winter and mounting defeats at the hands of the British.
