1) Boldly share your vision. With a national ad campaign and a matching website and presence, "Opportunity Detroit" is actively marketing to young entrepreneurs, targeting them to bring their ideas here. When nobody is in your corner, you have to be your own loudspeaker. Once people recognize your greatness they'll get on their own soapboxes on your behalf – until then, spread your message yourself.
2) Focus on impact more than personal gain. If you're championing a cause and making a difference, your results will be better and more widespread. Ted Serbinski, our Vice President at Detroit Venture Partners, moved to Detroit from San Francisco. People always ask him why he came here, to which he always replies, "Ten years from now, San Francisco will be just as good as it is today. But in ten years, Detroit will be a roaring city once again, defining a new technology hub at the intersection of muscle and brains. Where do you want to be in ten years? Status quo? Or one of the heroes that rebuilt a city?" Couldn't have said it better myself.
3) Become a category of one. Figuring out your individual strengths is crucial – and sometimes challenging. It's easy for people to question how Detroit can be the Midwestern Silicon Valley or the "New York City of Michigan". Focus instead on being the "Detroit" of "Detroit" and be the best you can. No different for your startup, company, or career: if you're not innovating something fundamentally unique, positioning yourself as your own category, I'm not interested.
4) Pay it forward. With success comes responsibility. When you're in a position to help someone in a community that has supported your gains, you should do so. If you open a coffee shop and you're the hottest new spot in town, source the baked goods you provide from an up-and-coming baker who's looking to make a splash – get her the exposure you've been fortunate enough to have yourself. For every ounce, minute, and dollar you give back, you'll receive tenfold in return.

To some, the idea of Michigan emerging as the next big North American transportation and logistics hub sounds ridiculous.
"There hasn't been any marketing of it," said Jim Smiertka, senior vice president and general counsel of the East Lansing, Mich.-based Prima Civitas Foundation. "If you look at it, it"s a peninsula. A lot of people say, 'How can Michigan be a logistics hub?'"
The Potential
But the doubters are missing a few important pieces of information, Smiertka said. First, the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron and Ambassador Bridge in Detroit are the two busiest US-Canadian border crossings. Through these, Michigan has access to the Halifax Deep Water Port and three other deep water ports along the St. Clair River at the Canadian border crossing. Additionally, the Canadian National Railway flows right into Port Huron, Michigan.
Smiertka said the widening of the Panama Canal is also creating a ripe opportunity for these ports; others around the country are not deep enough to accommodate docking super freighters.
"Halifax is a natural deep water port," he said. "Then you have that direct connection with the CN and the interstate system right into the US and through into Mexico."
The Movements
Smiertka said that more than 90 percent of the cargo that currently comes through Michigan continues right on through to Chicago without stopping. Prima Civitas Foundation has been working to change that, developing partnerships with municipalities, chambers of commerce and others.
One of these groups is The Great Lakes International Trade and Transport Hub, which aims to take advantage of the freight traffic to and from the Port of Halifax through Detroit and Port Huron — with Canadian partners in tow. The international partners met for a summit in 2011 to brainstorm ideas for improving trade between Canada and the Midwest. A seven-year action plan delivered to the governor included increasing collaborations between businesses and marketing the region.

The Michigan Film Office announced today the feature film Transformers 4 has been approved for a film incentive from the state. Transformers 4, expected to film this spring in metro Detroit, opens soon after the end of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, where a great battle left a city torn – but with the world once again saved.
"It speaks volumes about all Michigan has to offer that Transformers is returning once again to our state," said Margaret O'Riley, director of the Michigan Film Office. "This project will shine another bright spotlight on Michigan and provide tremendous opportunities for our cast, crew and support services.
Transformers 4 was awarded an incentive of $20 million on $81,933,992 of projected in-state expenditures. The project is expected to hire 368 Michigan workers with a full time equivalent of 339 jobs.
Transformers 4 is the third film in the series to use Detroit as a backdrop. The first Transformers, released in 2007, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon, released in 2011, also filmed in metro Detroit.
In Fiscal Year 2013, 13 projects have been awarded a total of $30,962,806 on $120,172,305 of approved production expenditures for the year. These projects are expected to create 1,190 Michigan hires with a full time equivalent of 559 jobs.
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) Film Review Committee, comprised of senior MEDC staff including the Michigan Film Commissioner, reviews all completed applications using the statute to guide approval decisions.
The Michigan Film Office was created in 1979 to assist and attract incoming production companies and promote the growth of Michigan's own film industry. The Film Office also administers the incentive program for film, television and other digital media production in Michigan. For more on the Michigan Film Office, visit: MichiganFilmOffice.org.

On March 24, join 3,000 Cass Corridor revelers intent on banishing the Nain Rouge, the malevolent dwarf who's haunted Detroit since the days of Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. All are welcome at the fourth annual Marche du Nain Rouge – Detroiters and Detroit-lovers (or maybe just Nain-haters) will gather to drive the evil spirit out of our fair city for another year.
This year's Marche begins with a run – the first ever Run du Nain Rouge, brought to you by the good folks at Tour de Troit. The 5k run begins at 11 a.m., at the corner of Cass and Canfield. The fee is $35, which includes a t-shirt. The top 10 (and bottom 15) runners will win prizes from City Bird.
Click here to register.
The Marche du Nain Rouge proper begins at 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Traffic Jam & Snug, 511 W. Canfield St., as revelers attempt to taunt and chant the dwarf into appearing.
The Marche processes along Cass Avenue through the North Cass Corridor, led by the ghosts of Detroit's past and followed by the Detroit Party Marching Band. Revelers are encouraged to come masked or fully costumed; groups are encouraged to join in the fun with DIY chariots.
The Marche will culminate on Temple Street, where the sinister dwarf will surely appear, to be firmly banished, freeing Detroit from its woes (until next year).
But the fun's not over!

Nothing goes better with basketball than free Detroit-style pizza! That's why the Oakland University (OU) Grizzlies and the University of Detroit-Mercy (UDM)'s Titans basketball players and fans are amped up to win.
Both the OU and UDM athletic programs are participating in a basketball points promotion which offers event-goers one free 4-square cheese pizza each, with a ticket stub or coupon, when the men's teams win with 80 or more points and when the women's teams win with 65 or more points.
UDM Director of Athletic Marketing and Promotions Brandon J. Longmeier said the partnership between Buddy's Pizza and the school has been beneficial for both parties. "We're so appreciative of what Buddy's is doing for our athletic program," said Longmeier. "The points promotion really motivates the team and gets the crowd excited for free Buddy's pizza after the game." Titan fans are additionally offered $3 off 8-square pizzas when their team wins.
Just like at UDM, the students and fans at OU can be heard chanting for "Pizza" during Grizzly basketball games. "The points promotion electrifies the atmosphere during our games," said Tim Dameron, assistant athletic director for OU marketing and sponsorships and a longtime Buddy's Pizza fan. "The fans' excitement helps the team perform better, and everyone gets to celebrate with a delicious Buddy's pizza." Grizzly fans additionally receive coupons valid for $4 off 8-square pizzas at each game.
Basketball fans following their favorite teams through the NCAA Tournament can do more than cheer on their favorite teams this year; they can enter for a chance to become one of Buddy's Final Four Finalists during a Facebook sweepstakes beginning mid-March.
Participants need only enter their name and email into the designated Facebook app. Weekly winners will be chosen to receive four free "Elite 8-square Buddy's Pizzas" throughout the course of the month-long promotion.

The fastest-growing cities in the country when it comes to technology jobs posted on Dice may have been unexpected in the past. But, with communities coming together to support start-ups, court large employers and fund STEM education initiatives – no one should be surprised that "traditional tech centers" needs a new definition.
Detroit Tech City
Detroit is the only two-timer on the list, having worn the crown for fastest growing city in 2011, as measured by job postings on Dice.
Back then Detroit had more than 800 tech jobs posted on any given day, now it's more than 1,100.
Automation Alley, Michigan's largest technology association, ranked the Greater Detroit region among the best for its strong record of students completing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) degrees.

Historic Pewabic Pottery will celebrate 110 years of service to the metro Detroit community with a birthday celebration Saturday, March 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at its National Historic Landmark building, 10125 E. Jefferson Ave. in Detroit.
The free event is open to the public. Guests will enjoy giveaways, birthday cake, refreshments and demonstrations from talented ceramic artists. Guided tours of Pewabic's museum and fabrication studio will also be given at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m.
"At Pewabic Pottery, we are humbled to be part of Detroit's history for the past 110 years," said Barbara Sido, executive director of Pewabic Pottery. "It's an honor to work in such a vibrant city and we'd like to say 'thank you' to the metro Detroiters that continue to visit our museum, tour our pottery, join our classes and help continue the tradition."
Founded in 1903, Pewabic Pottery quickly established itself as a fixture in Detroit's arts & crafts scene and through the years has evolved into a respected, cultural and educational institution.
Pewabic Pottery, the milestones:
Founded in 1903 by Mary Chase Perry Stratton and Horace Caulkins and produces first commission for Burley and Company in Chicago.
- In 1907 moved to its current East Jefferson location, designed by architect William Buck Stratton. In 1909 introduced signature iridescent glazes.
- In 1928, Pewabic's Saarinen house fireplace is featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
- In 1937 featured in an exhibition of ceramic art at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York City.
- In 1947, founder Mary Stratton is awarded the coveted Charles Fergus Binns medal, the nation's highest award in the field of ceramics. Pewabic wins this prestigious award again 1993.
- In 1961, Mary Stratton passed away and Pewabic is run by her assistant, Ella Peters. From 1966 to 1979 Michigan State University owned and operated the pottery as part of its continuing education program. In 1971, Pewabic Pottery is named to the National Register of Historic Places.
- In 1979 the Pewabic Society was established to handle the pottery's day-to-day operations.
- In 1980 granted nonprofit status. In 1981 ownership was transferred to the Pewabic Society.
- In 1991 the pottery and its contents were recognized as a National Historic Landmark.
- In 1999 created murals for Comerica Park, the new home of the Detroit Tigers.
- In 2011, Pewabic's iconic chimney is restored. In 2012 launched Copper & Clay: Pewabic's New Leadership Initiative, a committee of engaged, young professionals providing skills and experience in support of the nonprofit's mission.
Pewabic's handcrafted installations and collections can be found in churches, schools and buildings throughout Detroit, including the Guardian Building, Comerica Park, Detroit People Mover Stations, the Detroit Institute of Art, and the Scott Fountain on Belle Isle. Pewabic ceramics can also be found nationally at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Rice University in Houson, Texas, the Nebraska State Capitol Building in Lincoln, Neb. and at the Freer Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution and Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C

But it (Detroit) is hardly the worst and certainly not hopeless. Europe is filled with cities that have risen from similarly miserable conditions.
Take Belfast, which suffered not only industrial decline and disinvestment, but also paralyzing religious guerrilla warfare. Although it received the same sort of hammer blow from globalization as Detroit, it now has steady job growth after decades of losses. Its economic output leapt 35 percent
per capita between 2000 and 2005. And, throughout the European continent's industrial belt--the parts that are distinctly not Disneyland for American yuppies--there are many other examples of old redoubts of manufacturing (Bilbao, Leipzig, Sheffield, St. Étienne) that have enjoyed the very same sort of dramatic recoveries. This is not to oversell the optimism that these cities should inspire. They will never recover their full manufacturing might or swell with quite so many residents as before. Still, they represent realistic models for the rescue of Detroit.
It is strangely fitting that the recent auto bailout endowed Detroit with a new corporate patron hailing from Turin, Italy. Like Detroit, Turin was once a grand capital of the auto industry, which accounted for 80 percent of the city's industrial activity, most of it with Fiat, Chrysler's new owner. But the Italian auto industry didn't fare much better than the American one in the face of new competition. Fiat's Turin operations went from 140,000 workers in the early 1970s to a mere 40,000 in the early '90s. And with the collapse of Fiat came the collapse of Turin. Its population plummeted almost 30 percent in 25 years. National and local leaders focused more on combating domestic terrorism from the Red Brigades than on providing basic services. The city spun through four mayors in seven years and accumulated a budget deficit in the mid-'90s of 120 billion lira.
Recovery from this kind of spiral begins with political leadership. And, in 1993, the city elected a reformist mayor, Valentino Castellani, who devised a breathtakingly ambitious plan for the city. Potential investors were never going to have faith in Turin unless the city spelled out its strategy with specificity, so the plan laid out 84 "actions" for development, which Turin vowed to implement by the year 2011. Despite its gritty condition, the city promised to develop a tourism industry and the transportation network to support it. It used its own funds, plus money from national, regional, and provincial governments and private companies, to create a range of institutions--business incubators, foundations, research laboratories, venture-capital funds, and technology parks--that would promote its information-technology and green-energy industries. Other efforts built on Turin's historical strengths. Turin may no longer have had cheap industrial labor, but it still possessed people with a deep understanding of production and design. They simply needed new outlets and markets for their core competencies.
Turin's plan worked. By 2006, it posted its lowest levels of unemployment ever and its highest levels of economic activity in half a century. The city reinvented itself as a center for design, not just of cars, but also for aerospace, cinematography, and textiles. Plenty of parts suppliers still depend on business from Fiat, but they have also found new customers in China and other growing markets. Physical regeneration accompanied the economic recovery. The city submerged the old central railway line that had bifurcated the town, transforming that route into a boulevard that serves as Turin's new backbone. What Turin shows is that even a decaying industrial base can be the foundation for a new economy. That is, the industry may fade, but expertise doesn't. Detroit's American cousins, Akron and Toledo, have already shown how specialties developed for car manufacturing can be repurposed. As Akron's tire-making industry declined, companies, working with local universities, shifted their focus and research efforts into the related business of polymers. The former Rubber Capital of the World now makes polymers and plastics that can be used in clean energy and biotech. Or take Toledo, which long specialized in building windows and windshields for cars. One industry leader, known locally as "the glass genius," started tinkering with solar cells in the 1980s. The University of Toledo showed an interest in his work, and the state gave the school and two companies some money to investigate photovoltaic technology. That spurred other business and university collaborations, which drew more infusions of state economic development funds, and the region now has some 5,000 jobs in the solar industry.
Institutions developed at the height of Detroit's postwar prosperity remain--and provide the city with advantages that similarly depressed industrial cities cannot claim. It has educational institutions in or near the city (the University of Michigan, Wayne State) and medical institutions (in part, a legacy of all those union health care plans) that are innovative powerhouses and that currently generate private-sector activity in biomedicine, information technology, and health care management. And there is already a smattering of examples of old industrial outposts that have reacquired relevance. An old GM plant in Wixom has been retrofitted to produce advanced batteries. There's a new automotive-design lab based in Ann Arbor. And Ford, the most promising of the Big Three, has made a decisive shift toward smaller, cleaner cars.
Retooling Detroit's old industries and advancing its new ones will take public money, and the feds are the only ones with money to give these days. But Washington already spends heavily on Detroit--$18.4 billion went to the city and the surrounding county in 2008. This money, however, isn't invested with any broader purpose, a sense of how all this spending can add up to something grander. A better return on federal investments will take a functioning local government as well as leadership in suburban counties that is willing to collaborate closely with the city. And, with so much sclerosis, change will only emerge with a strong hand from above. State and federal governments should place the city's most dysfunctional agencies in receivership as a quid pro quo for federal investment--a milder version of the federal takeover of Washington, D.C., in the 1990s. These higher-level governments should also insist that the city and its suburbs end their wasteful bickering and act as one on issues that naturally cross borders, like transportation and the environment. The region's elected officials should be strongly encouraged to replicate the metropolitan mayors' caucuses in Chicago and Denver, or a strong metropolitan transportation and land-use agency, as in Portland or Minneapolis. Business will never have faith in Detroit with local government in its current condition and with the metropolis so riven by old city-suburb divisions.
The point of Turin is that dramatic reform in local and metropolitan governance, coupled with strategic interventions from above, catalyzes market revival. Turin reoriented manufacturing with smart, subtle, and relatively minimal government interventions. And there are plenty of opportunities like this in Detroit. The metropolitan region is packed with companies that supplied parts to the Big Three. Because of the current credit desert, these companies should receive low-interest loans that allow them to reconfigure their plants to produce parts that can be sold to the international auto market--or for other types of machinery. And local government (or NGOs, even) can play the role of industrial planner. That is, they can look across the map and find instances where research institutions and manufacturers should collaborate on new ventures.

"A thriving arts and cultural community not only enriches the quality of life for residents and visitors to southeastern Michigan, but inspires fresh ideas and fuels the creative vitality of the region," said Rip Rapson, Kresge's president and CEO. "In attracting local, national and international audiences to experience the works of these artists, Art X Detroit celebrates the Detroit metropolitan area as a hub of innovation and human energy. We're proud to support the event and celebrate the Kresge Eminent Artists and Artist Fellows."
The Kresge Foundation has provided $2 million to support more than 70 artists living and working in Metro Detroit through its Kresge Eminent Artist and Artist Fellowship programs since 2008. The Eminent Artist and Artist Fellowship programs are administered by the College for Creative Studies.
Art X Detroit Highlights
The event will feature exceptional works and performances by acclaimed Eminent Artists Bill Harris and Naomi Long Madgett, and art enthusiasts will experience some of Detroit's most creative talents at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD), the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall, the College for Creative Studies and other great venues in Midtown's Cultural Center. A special visual arts exhibition runs through April 28 at MOCAD.
The opening night of Art X Detroit is a multi-venue celebration on Wednesday, April 10, 6:15 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. at MOCAD and the N'Namdi Center for Contemporary Art, with special live performances at the First Congregational Church and Wayne State University.

"Have Mercy" and "Booker T. & Them: A Blues" by 2011 Kresge Eminent Artist Bill Harris. Award-winning playwright, poet, critic and novelist, Bill Harris' plays have been featured in more than one hundred productions nationwide. In "Have Mercy," Harris collaborates with Detroit's own Reverend Robert Jones (a master blues historian and guitarist) for a demonstration of theatre at its most basic, in the tradition of Homer and African djelis, or griots. This one-act monologue will take place at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, GM Theater, to be followed by an excerpt from Harris' book, "Booker T. & Them: A Blues," directed by innovative stage director, Aku Kadogo, also a Detroit native.
Naomi Long Madgett - Poet and Publisher. With a career as a published poet that spans eight decades, 2012 Kresge Eminent Artist Dr. Naomi Long Madgett has amassed numerous accolades for her exemplary life of service and creative expression. The annual Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award, established in 1993, has helped shine a spotlight on African American writers – recognizing 20 young poets to-date and attracting the attention of major publishing houses. Madgett will read from her own work as well as present a program of readings and dialogue reflecting on the careers of five of the awardees: Bill Harris, Claude Wilkinson, Nagueyalti Warren, Edward Bruce Bynum and Esperanza Cintrón. Readings at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, GM Theatre.

In Part 2, Passalacqua performs their complete discography live and exclusively debut their newest songs. Film screening and performance at the Michigan Science Center's Chrysler IMAX® Dome Theatre.
"The People's Vision," a mural by Hubert Massey. Massey, whose work can be seen at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Paradise Valley Park and Campus Martius, works in a variety of media to create large public art installations and is noted for collaborating with communities to create art that tells their stories. For Art X Detroit, Massey is creating a 30' x 60' mural to be installed on the WSU Press Building at the corner of Woodward and Warren avenues. At MOCAD, Massey's preliminary drawings of the mural will be on view throughout the month of April. Mural installation at WSU Press Building, drawings at MOCAD.
"Corner Store" by Design 99. Corner Store is a three-channel video installation inspired by experiences during two days when plywood boards covering the Design 99 studio/storefront space in Hamtramck were removed. Design 99 video recorded the reactions and questions of the neighborhood's residents as they passed by. These reactions will form the basis for the video in the Corner Store installation. Three-channel video, mixed media installation at MOCAD.

Private industry is blooming here, even as the city's finances have descended into wreckage.
In late 2011, Rachel Lutz opened a clothing shop, the Peacock Room, which proved so successful that she opened another one, Emerald, last fall. Shel Kimen, who had worked in advertising in New York, is negotiating to build a boutique hotel and community space. Big companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield have moved thousands of workers into downtown Detroit in recent years. A Whole Foods grocery, this city's first, is scheduled to open in June.
On Friday, just as Michigan's governor, Rick Snyder, was deeming an outside, emergency manager a necessity to save Detroit's municipal finances, the once-teetering Big Three automakers were reporting growing sales.
"It's almost a tale of two cities here," said Ms. Lutz, who is 32. "I tripled my projections in my first year."
Around the country, as businesses have recovered, the public sector has in many cases struggled and shrunk. Detroit may be the most extreme example of a city's dual fates, public and private, diverging.
At times, the widening divide has been awkward, even tense. As private investors contemplated opening coffee bean roasters, urban gardening suppliers and fish farms, Detroit firefighters complained about shortages of equipment, suitable boots and even a dearth of toilet paper.
"You've got to walk before you run, and for many years we weren't even walking," William C. Ford Jr., executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company, said of the developments of late within Detroit's private sector. "But now it's really interesting. Even as the political and financial situations continue to deteriorate, in spite of that, there is very hopeful business activity taking place."
In the eyes of some, the signs of a private sector turnaround have only served to accentuate divisions: a mostly black city with an influx of young, sometimes white artists and entrepreneurs; a revived downtown but hollowed-out neighborhoods beyond; an upbeat mood among business leaders even as the city's frustrated elected officials face diminished, uncertain roles under state supervision.

Urban Neighborhoods: Detroit's Indian Village
The City of Detroit is nationally known for its struggles with white flight and urban blight. However, the city still is home to it's share of impressive urban neighborhoods featuring well manicured lawns and tree lined gridded streets. Today, Metro Jacksonville takes a brief tour of two: Detroit's Indian Village and West Village Historic Districts.
Indian Village is a historic neighborhood located on Detroit's east side and is listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The district has a number of architecturally significant homes built in the early 20th century. A number of the houses have been substantially restored, and most others well kept up.
Many of the homes were built by prominent architects such as Albert Kahn, Louis Kamper and William Stratton for some of the area's most prominent citizens such as Edsel Ford. Many of the homes are very large, with some over 12,000 square feet. Many have a carriage house, with some of those being larger than an average suburban home. Some of the houses also have large amounts of Pewabic Pottery tiles. The neighborhood contains many historic homes including the automotive entrepreneur Henry Leland, founder of Lincoln and Cadillac, who resided on Seminole Street.
Indian Village has a very active community including the Historic Indian Village Association, Men's Garden Club & Woman's Garden Club. The neighborhood hosts an annual Home & Garden Tour the first Saturday of June, a neighborhood yard sale in September, a holiday home tour in December, and many other community events.

Model D Interviews McClure's: Why They Pick(led) DET Over NY, Surprise Inspiration For Chip Line ;) ;)
Posted by Erin Rose at 4:35 PM Labels: Detroit Business Links to this post
When people talk about the resurgence of urban America — the shift of people, jobs and commerce back to downtowns and center cities — they're usually talking about a narrow group of elite cities like New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, and San Francisco.
That's why a report [PDF] released this week on the transformation of downtown Detroit is so interesting. It documents the ongoing regeneration of a decent sized swath of the city's urban core. Detroit's Greater Downtown spans 7.2 square miles (reflected in the title of the report). It runs across the city's riverfront from the central business district to trendy Corktown, home of Slows Bar B Q and Astro Coffee; Mies van der Rohe's verdant Lafayette Park and Rivertown, north to the Eastern Market, Detroit's farmer's market; the Cass Corridor, with arts institutions; Midtown, home to Wayne State University, up Woodward Avenue to Tech Town and New Center (see the map below)
The report draws on new and unique data from local surveys as well as national data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey and other national sources. It is the product of a partnership between the the Hudson-Webber Foundation, the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, the Downtown Detroit Partnership, Midtown Detroit, Inc., D:hive, and Data Driven Detroit.
The Greater Downtown corridor has a population of 36,550 people or 5,076 people per square mile. It might not be not downtown Manhattan, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, or Philadelphia, but it compares favorably to other Midwest city-centers, like downtown Minneapolis, with 3.4 square miles and 28,811 people; downtown Pittsburgh at 1.3 square miles and 4,064 people; and downtown Cleveland at 3.2 square miles and 9,523 people. Of these downtowns, only Minneapolis has greater density than Greater Downtown Detroit.
Greater Downtown forms the Detroit region's commercial, educational, and entertainment hub home to major higher ed, arts and cultural institutions, its football and baseball stadiums and hockey arena, and several hundred restaurants, bars and retails shops. Each year, 10.5 million people visit the Greater Downtown area, according to the report.
While Greater Downtown is more affluent than the city as a whole, it lags behind other urban centers. The average per capita income of Greater Downtown residents is $20,216, considerably higher than $15,062 for the city as a whole but behind the nation ($27,334) as well as other urban centers like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Residents of Greater Downtown are also more educated than the city as a whole. College educated residents between the ages of 25 and 34 made up eight percent of the population for Greater Downtown compared to just one percent for the city as a whole, three percent for the state of Michigan, and four percent for the nation. More than four in ten young adults (42 percent) in Greater Downtown were college-educated, compared to 11 percent for the city, and higher than both the state and national rates of 29 and 31 percent, respectively.

Whenever I start up the computer, the monitor shows "PC Entering Power Saving Mode." There is no POST screen, just that message. It even appears when the computer is off. Is there any idea of what this could be?

A grassland fire broke out on the hill above College of the Redwoods this evening and mainly burned grass, stumps and some trees. No buildings were in the area. Crews from Humboldt Bay Fire and Loleta Fire along with a hand crew from Cal Fire were on the scene. The fire was about a quarter mile up the hill south east of the campus and posed no danger to the college.
Fire officials say Cal Fire dispatched the call and although the fire was well established when crews arrived; they were able to stop the spread quickly. At this time the cause of the blaze is still under investigation.

Prosecuting Sexual Violence in Correctional Settings: Examining Prosecutors' Perceptions
Brenda V. Smith
American University - Washington College of Law; American University - NIC/WCL Project on Addressing Prison Rape
American University, WCL Research Paper No. 2008-50
The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) is the first piece of federal legislation, which expressly and exclusively addresses sexual abuse of persons in custody. Notwithstanding passage of the Act, there is clear belief, echoed by correctional leaders, that prosecutors are reluctant at best, and unwilling at worst, to prosecute cases of sexual violence in correctional settings. In order to gather information on prosecutor interest in and capacity to prosecute these cases, the National Institute of Corrections Project on Addressing Prison Rape at the Washington College of Law the (the NIC/WCL Project) collected data from state and federal prosecutors.
This article draws on that research and data to examine the perception that prosecutors are unwilling to prosecute cases of sexual violence in custody, discusses barriers to prosecution identified by prosecutors regarding investigating and prosecuting allegations of sexual abuse of persons under correctional supervision, and recommends tools to overcome those barriers.

DAYTON, Ohio — One question to Butler and Xavier, on the way out the door of the Atlantic 10 to the waiting Big East limo.
Sure you want to leave?
RELATED: La Salle player does landshark after stunner
UPDATED BRACKET: A look at the field
This league is the lion of March so far, winning NCAA tournament games so quickly, even the commissioner of the conference is having a hard time keeping up.
"We're what, 5-0 or 6-0?" Bernadette McGlade asked over the phone Friday, minutes after La Salle finished off its stunner of Kansas State.
That'd be 6-0. As in nobody has lost yet. The 32-team third round this weekend will be 15.6% Atlantic 10.
"They're showing the world what I've been watching all year," she said.
NCAA TOURNAMENT: Player database
NCAA LANDSCAPE: Basketball pay rising fast among non-athletes
So Saint Louis has won, and VCU has won and Butler has won and Temple has won and La Salle has won twice. Wonder if the basketball masses who filled out brackets understood how good the Atlantic 10 was this season?
"I think they do now," Temple forward Jake O'Brien said in the locker room Friday, after the ninth-seeded Owls held off eighth-seeded North Carolina State.
The weekend might be another kettle of big fish and not so much fun for the A-10. Temple is staring at Indiana, Butler at Marquette, VCU at Michigan. But hasn't the point already been made?
This is a better indication of the parity of college basketball than any one Cinderella team could be. An entire top portion of what would once be called a mid-major league has come marching through the first days of the tournament in perfect order, something neither the Big Ten nor the Big East nor the ACC could do.
How many of the six wins were truly upsets? La Salle over Kansas State. That's it. A genuine indicator of what college basketball has become in 2013 is that nobody should be especially surprised by this.
"They felt bad about losing to Butler and Saint Louis," La Salle coach John Giannini said of his players. "I told them, 'You're far better prepared for the tournament than you realize. You're not going to play against anyone in this tournament that's tougher than Saint Louis or Butler.' "
By the way, the A-10 started 5-0 in 1993 and ended up 7-4, so the league didn't just drop from the sky. Nor do the members have to apologize for thin tournament résumés. Ten of its current 16 members have been to the Final Four. But that was the past. The present is what's doing handstands.
"It's one thing to get into the tournament, but then you have to make the plays and show people you're not a flash in the pan and you're legitimately great teams," McGlade said. "The teams are doing that. It's not me, it's them."
The timing of this surge is fascinating. In the same week the league began to chip away with the exit of Butler and Xavier to the new Big East (and maybe Saint Louis and Dayton one day), the Atlantic 10 hit the second-round jackpot.
"There's some irony there," Temple coach Fran Dunphy said. "It's not easy. There's some bittersweetness in this."
Take Butler. While the Bulldogs carry the Atlantic 10 banner against Marquette on Saturday, they're packing to join the Golden Eagles in the Big East.
"I don't understand why these great leagues end up splitting," Giannini said. "I thought college sports was supposed to be about tradition and about things that made sense. Certainly when you have a great league, I would think that makes sense."
Sense, but not dollars. Not enough of them, anyway, apparently. From her office, cheering at the television the past three days, McGlade could understand the peculiarity of it all.
"The rest of our members are confident in their ability," she said. "I don't say they were unfazed by the announcement, but they weren't going to let that announcement distract them during NCAA tournament time.
"Nobody is distracted in the A-10. Every single team has stepped up and done what was necessary. It's been a strong statement that the A-10 is not going anywhere."
Well, a few of the members wouldn't mind going to the Sweet 16.
"I can't help but grandstand a little bit," Giannini told reporters after beating Kansas State. In Kansas City.
Grandstand away, Atlantic 10. You've earned it, before the gang begins to break up.

"For those who wondered why it was so important that we determine which district they were in before they voted in the Presidential Preference Poll, it's for exactly this type of scenario, where we have to recalculate the 28 bound votes," said Peter S. Goldberg, Party chairman. "Marco Rubio has suspended his campaign, but we have not yet chosen delegates. All we have done at this point is recalculate."
"The vote was close and while Sen. Cruz had the total vote overall, when it was recalibrated, Cruz got 14.39 and Trump got 13.61, and, by our historically used method, we round to the nearest whole number," Goldberg said.
Prior to that recalculation, Ted Cruz would have had 12 delegates, Donald Trump 11, and Marco Rubio 5.
FINAL NUMBERS: 23,010 Alaska Republicans took part in the Presidential Preference Poll -- one out of six Republicans.
Cruz: 8,369
Trump: 7,740
Rubio: 3,488
Carson: 2,492
Kasich: 918
The party state convention takes place in Fairbanks, April 28-30. The national convention is in Cleveland, Ohio, July 18-21.

Alpha Kitty Rory Is Obsessed With Wristbands!
We're just getting into the weird and wonderful and actually quite fragile world of video responses to monster-dragon-cat Atoosa Rubinstein's femilady empowerment project of Alpha Kitties. Minnie Fay, the adorably vacant Connecticut teenager, as we learned in her most recent post, is a vegetarian: "I don't eat things with immune systems." Her boyfriend, Rory, is also an Alphakitty and has his own channel! Sadly, he doesn't have eyeballs, only dark recesses under his bangs. But! He sure does love wristbands.

As a football-obsessed youngster growing up in the Brazilian coastal city of Santos, Neymar was always on a fruitless hunt for golden boots, resorting instead to spray painting his own kicks when he couldn't come across any to his liking. Now, fresh off four goals in the group stage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the Seleção phenom is set to receive a stunning new gold version of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom in time for Brazil's upcoming match in the round of 16. Originally launched back in May of 2013 and donned by Neymar in Rio de Janeiro for the Confederations Cup, the Hypervenom Phantom features a NIKESKIN upper of supple mesh bound with a thin polyurethane film, All Conditions Control (ACC) technology for superior foot-to-ball control in both wet and dry conditions, and a decoupled outsole crafted with insights from the world's top podiatrists. Complete with bright yellow accents and a custom footbed graphic, the special gold edition of the Hypervenom Phantom is set to hit Nike.com on June 26 – just ahead of Brazil's June 28 showdown with Chile.

The tallest structure at University of Wisconsin-Stout will be a little shorter in a few weeks.
Workers last week began removing worn brick at the top of the 214-foot-tall heating plant chimney. It is expected that they will remove the top five to 10 feet of the chimney, said Zenon Smolarek, UW-Stout Physical Plant assistant director.
The project is expected to last three to four weeks. Fall classes begin Wednesday, Sept. 5.
Two workers, wearing safety harnesses, use a ladder on the side of the chimney to reach the top. They have attached scaffolding at the top for a platform. A rope-and-pulley system is used to raise and lower materials. Workers also are repairing the chimney's lightning protecting system and lights.
A safety area is fenced off around the bottom of the chimney, including along the edge of Third Street E.
The work crew is from Gerard Chimney of St. Louis. A crew spokesman said the UW-Stout chimney is not tall compared with others they routinely work on around the U.S., many of which are 700 or 800 feet high and some up to 1,000 feet.
UW-Stout's chimney was built in 1965.
Last summer work was done on the second-tallest structure on campus, nearby 168-foot Bowman Hall Clock Tower. New clocks and clock faces were installed. Bowman Hall opened in 1898.

Rents Have Been Rising, Not Falling, in the Postwar Period
Until the end of 1977, the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) for rents tended to omit rent increases when units had a change of tenants or were vacant, biasing inflation estimates downward. Beginning in 1978, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) implemented a series of methodological changes that reduced this nonresponse bias, but substantial bias remained until 1985. We set up a model of nonresponse bias, parameterize it, and test it using BLS microdata. From 1940 to 1985, the official BLS CPI for urban wage earners and clerical workers (CPI-W) price index for tenant rents rose 3.6% annually; we argue that it should have risen 5.0% annually. © 2010 The President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I have hostas planted in pachysandra, ivy, sweet woodruff, etc., I would
suggest putting them in pots and keeping the top of the pots about the height
of the ground covers. For me, it shows off the hosta better. I find no
increase in slugs or other insects, than those planted in the garden without
the grand cover areas. Mine over-winter in the same pots with some shredded
leaves on them.
Hoping that his may help.

History has shown us that the South is generally overlooked when it comes to choosing the President of the United States. States with smaller populations and scattered election dates have caused the South to be pushed aside for states and regions with a larger concentration of delegates.
To remedy this "Southern neglect", Secretaries of State, led by Brian Kemp of Georgia, banded together to move the primary election dates of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia to March 1, 2016 (with Louisiana just a few days later).
The formation of an "SEC Primary" creates a region in which candidates must invest their time, energy and money or take a massive hit on the road to the Whitehouse.
The 1,010 delegates from these states will be up for grabs as an army of candidates marches through the South to claim the right to represent their party in the November General Election.
SECPrimary.com will provide you with an avalanche of information on the "SEC" states and each candidate as they fight for the right to lead the free world.

During his tenure as owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones became a fixture on the sidelines late in games at old Texas Stadium. Jones curtailed the trips during the Bill Parcells era, though he did talk to Hall of Famer Larry Allen during a game.
But Jones said his sideline trips might start again with Jason Garrett as the head coach.
"I used to spend my time on the sideline and probably need to spend some more down there," Jones said on KRLD-FM Tuesday. "But the bottom line is one of the reasons I'm trying to see and get a feel for is where's the passion? Where's the energy? What's the situation with the team?"
Jones was answering a question about Dez Bryant's passion being labeled as something negative for his sideline outburst during last week's game against the Detroit Lions.
Jones visited the Cowboys' sideline in December 2011 to inform Garrett about quarterback Tony Romo's X-rays after he bruised his hand. Jones was also on the sidelines briefly for a home game earlier this season but he quickly left the field and headed to his suite.
Jones was asked why he hasn't picked up the sideline visits?
"I just have frankly the view that I have at the home games is so good that I really get to see a lot of that," Jones said. "That's there's, so no reason other than that. It's not really by design and probably before it's through, I'll be down there more."
The discussion about Jones returning to the sidelines could intensify given Bryant's sideline ordeal. Jones is well-respected and most likely feels he can calm players down with his presence. However, Jones got into a verbal spat with recently cut defensive tackle Jay Ratliff last season when he was encouraging him in his rehab following a game.
Jones' suite elevator lands at the 50-yard line where he can walk straight onto the field. After Jones gets out of his private elevator he can turn and get to the locker room in about a minute, 30 seconds with a brisk walk.
