Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Concepts Inc. has filed a $1.3 million permit application with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement to build The Capital Grille on an outparcel of the Crescent Center in East Memphis.
An address of 6065 U.S. 72 (Poplar Avenue) is listed for the 8,946-square-foot Capital Grille, which will be built in front of the Crescent Center's attached garage along Poplar.
Darden last month filed a $1.7 million permit for another restaurant, Seasons 52, to also be built on a Crescent Center outparcel.
That permit listed an address 6085 Poplar Ave. for Seasons 52, a 9,231-square-foot restaurant to rise at the corner of Poplar and Ridgeway Road.
Crescent Center owner Highwoods Properties Inc., which is listed on the permit, bought the landmark East Memphis office tower for $52.6 million in 2010.
The Land Use Control Board unanimously approved the additions to the property in April. Both restaurants are scheduled to open in fall 2013.
For more on these restuarants and their development at the Crescent Center, see this week's "Inked" column on Page 1 by real estate reporter Sarah Baker.

The Tennessee Supreme Court, in a unanimous opinion, has ruled the old Memphis City Schools board acted improperly in 2007 when it fired a tenured teacher who took extended sick leave without written charges or a termination hearing.
The high court's opinion reverses a Tennessee Court of Appeals decision and reinstates a trial court judgment awarding Saundra Thompson back pay and damages.
Shelby County Chancellor Arnold Goldin awarded Thompson back pay, damages and legal fees totaling $325,419 and ordered her reinstated.
But the appeals court remanded the case back to Goldin, ruling there was a dispute about whether Thompson sought additional sick leave prior to being fired or whether she did not make such a request.
Since Thompson was terminated in 2007, the school board governing public schools within the city of Memphis has since been merged with the Shelby County Board of Education to form a countywide school board governing both school systems. The two school systems merge in August 2013.
Meanwhile, the state tenure law at issue in the Thompson case has since been amended by the Tennessee legislature.
The Supreme Court opinion applies only to the state law that existed at the time of Thompson's claim.

The Gift and Art Shop Inc. – an upscale boutique offering china, crystal, flatware, stationery and other specialty items – is closing its doors at 4704 Poplar Ave. after 55 years in business.
An email sent to customers Wednesday, Dec. 26, by the store's owner, Evelyn Heun, said it's "now time for me to move into another chapter of my life and enjoy time with my family."
A closing sale started Wednesday with at least 40 percent off merchandise.
The Gift and Art Shop opened in 1957. Calls to The Gift and Art Shop were not immediately returned.
Americans bought new homes last month at the fastest pace in more than two and a half years, further evidence of a sustained housing recovery.
Sales of new homes rose 4.4 percent in November from October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 377,000, the Commerce Department said Thursday. That's the fastest pace since April 2010, when a federal tax credit boosted sales.
New-home sales have also increased 15.3 percent over the past year. The improvement comes from depressed levels. Sales remain below the 700,000 that economists consider healthy.
Steady job gains this year and ultra-low mortgage rates have boosted sales of both newly built and previously occupied homes.
More people are looking to buy or rent a home after living with relatives or friends during and immediately after the Great Recession.
Another big reason for the rebound is the excess supply of homes that were built during the housing boom has finally thinned out. Only 149,000 new homes were for sale at the end of last month, according to the report. That's just above a record low of 143,000 in August.
Still, the market is steadily improving and that has lifted builder confidence to its highest level in 6 ½ years, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo survey released last week.
The pace of home construction is nearly 22 percent higher than a year earlier, according to government data. Builders are on track this year to start work on the most homes in four years.
Home prices are also increasing. The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller national home price index released Wednesday increased 4.3 percent in October compared with a year ago. That's the largest year-over-year increase in two and a half years. And prices rose for the 12-month period in 18 of the 20 cities tracked by the index.
Sales of previously occupied homes rose to the highest level in three years in November, the National Association of Realtors said last week.
Though new homes represent only a small portion of the housing market, they have a disproportionate impact on the economy.
Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to statistics from the National Association of Home Builders.

Michel Petrucciani
Pianist Michel Petrucciani, who during the early part of his career was heavily influenced by Bill Evans, gradually developed his own sound. By 1991 he was using Adam Holzman on synthesizer with his quintet (which on this date also includes bassist Anthony Jackson, drummer Omar Hakim and percussionist Steve Thornton) to play colors behind his piano. In addition, Petrucciani was backed by funky rhythms and emphasized his own original compositions. Rather than selling out to blatant commercialism, Petrucciani had actually found his own voice within the "contemporary" setting. The music on his CD is of consistently high quality (despite a few too many fadeouts). Highlights include "Miles Davis' Licks" (a blues that utilizes some of Davis' late-period nursery rhyme melodies), the intense "Brazilian Suite #3," a playful jam on "Laws of Physics" and the Keith Jarrett-ish "P'tit Louis." Actually, all 11 of Michel Petrucciani's originals are worth hearing and, despite the brief playing time (39 minutes) of this CD, it is recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

The day they arrived at the church's doorstep on a sweltering July morning in 2010, Venant and Nshimira were weary travelers losing faith in God's provison. Refugees from the volatile eastern Congo, the couple had been resettled the previous September in Columbus, Ohio. Among their few possessions was a box stuffed with legal documents, leftovers from their case recently abandoned by a resettlement agent. When they arrived in Columbus, they had joined a French-speaking group for African expats, whose leader, Emmanuel Sotondji, invited them to accompany him to his church of a decade, Vineyard Columbus (VC), in suburban Westerville.
"The first time I saw Venant, his face showed so much fear," remembers Chris Childers, a social worker at VC since 2009. "He wasn't sure where he was in his faith."
And for good reason. Venant had been tortured by soldiers of a Rwandan terrorist group and suffered severe back and neck pain. He and Nshimira spoke zero English. Their furniture was a mattress and chairs with no backs; their six children slept atop blankets strewn across the linoleum kitchen floor of a two-bedroom apartment.
Childers immediately brought her 25 years of social service work to bear. She discovered they were eligible for food stamps and health benefits and could reduce their electric bill, which was burning through 10 percent of their income. She recruited another VC minister to gather layette supplies and furnishings for the couple's seventh child, arriving any day, and e-mailed VC's staff members, who brought a truckload of furniture in two days. She located an esl class within walking distance of the apartment (learning English is required for continued federal benefits). ...1

Perpetual Motion Quiz
On Earth, perpetual motion machines don't stand a chance. You don't even have to look at one to know it won't work. "Oh," you can say knowingly, "it'll be killed by friction and other dissipative forces." And most of the time you will be right, which is pretty annoying.
So to make things more interesting, we've put this quiz on Slippery, a planet in the star system Wenwet. On Slippery there is no friction, drag, or viscosity (or any other one-way process that steals energy from machines). You can't walk on Slippery, because your foot can't push against the floor. But you can build perpetual motion machines.
This doesn't mean, however, that every machine you make will run forever. If you try to make a machine that has to do work as well as keep running, it will eventually come to a stop because more energy will be coming out than going in. How good an engineer are you? Can you tell which of these machines will stop on Slippery and which will run forever?
Hammer Wheel
How It Is Supposed to Work
Because there is an odd number of hammers, there are more hammers on one side of the wheel than the other. This lack of balance makes the wheel turn round.
Would It Keep Running on Slippery?
Provided it went around once, it would keep going forever. The flopping hammers just make it jerky, like the guy who thought it up. At least that's what one physicist told us. Another one, though, isn't so sure. The hammers would bounce back and forth (everything bounces perfectly on Slippery), so the interaction between hammers and wheel is very complicated and may not repeat from one rotation to the next. If you can answer this one, you're ready for your Ph.D. in physics.
Perpetual Fountain
How It Is Supposed to Work
The weight of the liquid in the goblet forces the underlying liquid up the tube.
Would It Keep Running on Slippery?
The inventor didn't understand liquid. The weight of the stuff in the goblet would force liquid only part way up the tube. It would stop when it was perfectly level with the liquid in the goblet.
Anti-Gravity Pendulum
How It Is Supposed to Work
The bowling ball is a pendulum. Once started, gravity will tend to keep it moving. Just to make things interesting, we've stuck an imaginary gravity shield under half of its swing. What happens to the pendulum if you do that?
Would It Keep Running on Slippery?
Every physicst we showed this to hated it. How can you put imaginary physics in a children's magazine? Well, there's no such planet as Slippery, either, and on Slippery, this gizmo doesn't just run forever, it gets faster and faster. (On the anti-grav side the pendulum keeps its speed going up, then gets faster going down.)
Magnet Machine
How It Is Supposed to Work
The magnet draws a steel ball up the ramp until it drops through the hole near the top. It rolls back to the bottom hole, where the magnet draws it back up again.
Would It Keep Running on Slippery?
Yes, maybe if you could just set everything up exactly right: magnet, ramp, ball…But even then, no way…too many things bumping into each other…yes…no…oh, forget this one! We're not sure! (But leaning toward no.)
Self-Blowing Windmill
How It Is Supposed to Work
Wind from the bellows blows against the vanes of the windmill, making it rotate. Its rotation opens and closes the bellows, blowing air against the windmill.
Would It Keep Running on Slippery?
No way! This machine has a major energy leak. Very little of the wind's energy would go into moving the vanes of the windmill; the rest would blow away. On Earth, it would be even worse.
- dissipative:
- Scattered; wasted.
- perpetual:
- Continuing without interruption; constant.
- viscosity:
- The condition or property of having a high resistance to flow.
- What might be some of the benefits of a perpetual motion machine that worked?
Answer: Answers may vary but could include that a perpetual motion machine that worked would provide a renewable source of energy.
- Do you think the planets orbiting around the Sun are like a perpetual motion machine? Why or why not? Explain your answer in a few sentences.
Answer: Answers will vary. Students may think that the planets orbiting the Sun are like a perpetual motion machine because the planets move in a path year after year without slowing down or speeding up.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is a primary source for new standard-of-care and research information. PCF connects patients, care providers and scientists to critical updates, the latest developments, best practices and news from the treatment pipeline. Many important discoveries in the fight against prostate cancer since 1993 resulted from PCF funding or coordination—including the development of new medications, gene therapy approaches and the development of vaccines that may soon work with the body's immune system to kill prostate cancer cells.

The Prostate Cancer Research Institute's mission is to improve the quality of men's lives by supporting research and disseminating information that educates and empowers patients, families and the medical community.
The Society for the Psychological Study of Men and Masculinity, Division 51, of the American Psychological Association, advances knowledge in the psychology of men through research, education, training, public policy, and improved clinical practice.
Division 51 believes aspects of traditional gender roles are restrictive in nature and often lead to negative consequences and unhealthy interactions for many individuals and society. SPSMM endeavors to point out constrictive conceptions of masculinity that have inhibited men's development, reduced men's capacity to form meaningful relationships, and contributed to the oppression of others. SPSMM supports the empowerment of all persons and believes this empowerment leads to the highest level of functioning in individual men and women.
ZERO — The Project to End Prostate Cancer is committed to not only reduce prostate cancer or alleviate the pain from the disease but to end it. ZERO sees a future where all men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer will be cured or manage their illness with good quality of life, with the support they need to minimize physical and emotional suffering and to cope effectively throughout their cancer journeys.To accomplish this goal, they increase research funds from the federal government to find new treatments and fund local grants to end prostate cancer through their national event series, the Great Prostate Cancer Challenge. ZERO conducts free testing through the Drive Against Prostate Cancer mobile testing program and educates patients, families and those at-risk.

Fancy holding court at one of the most prestigious academies of learning in the world? Punting on the Thames? (White flannels optional). If you're a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Oxford University's business school has a deal for you.
The school's 'Silicon Valley comes to Oxford' is looking for business leaders and VCs from the Valley and its environs to cross the pond in late November and give seminars, lectures and "master classes" to the school's eager beaver, would-be high-tech entrepreneurs. "Other classrooms empty out when these events are held," said the school's dean, Colin Mayer, during a visit to the Bay Area last week.
The program, which began in 2001, is the brainchild of veteran Bay Area high-tech journalist Mike Malone. It has drawn such local luminaries as Reed Lindsay, founder of LinkedIn, Bob Goodson, CEO of startup incubator YouNoodle, Kim Polese, the onetime "queen of Silicon Valley, now CEO of the open source software company SpikeSource, not to mention Craig Newmark of Craigslist.
Apart from the star quality of such visiting faculty, what's in it for a storied, 800-year-old British institution in the age of the knowledge economy?
"Historically Britain has been very good at inventing but not good at translating it into successful business models — which Silicon Valley is very good at," said Mayer. "Silicon Valley has a lot to teach us."

Three-Run Double by Gondek in First Inning Lifts Pioneers to 3-2 Win Over Bulldogs
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Five Sacred Heart pitchers combined to hold the Yale University baseball team to just three hits in the Pioneers 3-2 win over the Bulldogs in a non-league game at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard Wednesday afternoon.
With the loss, Yale falls to 8-22 overall, while Sacred Heart improves to 15-16 with the victory. The two teams split the season series, with Yale earning a 5-3 win at Yale Field on April 2.
Sacred Heart picked up all three runs in the first inning after Rocco Gondek belted a double into the left field corner with the bases loaded to give the Pioneers a 3-0 lead. The Pioneers had loaded the bases with no outs following a single by Keaton Flint, a hit-by-pitch for Jonathan Servilla and a single by John Murphy.
After Gondek's double, Yale starter Chris Lanham (1-6) settled down and retired the next nine Sacred Heart batters that he faced to hold the Pioneers to just the three first-inning runs.
Combined, Yale's five pitchers held Sacred Heart to just two hits after Gondek's double and a total of five hits in the game.
Yale bounced back with a run in the third inning after Cam Squires led off with a double, advanced to third on a groundout by Chris Piwinski and then scored when Tom O'Neill grounded out to short for the second out of the inning.
Yale picked up another run in the eighth inning when Eric Hsieh was hit by a pitch with two outs and later scored on an RBI single by Joe Lubanski. Yale had runners on first and third, but could not produce the tying run.
Jacob Hunter, Squires and Lubanski picked up the hits for the Bulldogs, with Hunter and Squires both belting a double.
Flint, Murphy, Gondek, Jayson Sullivan and Matt Charmello all had a hit for Sacred Heart, with the big blow coming off the bat of Gondek.
Yale returns to action on Saturday with the first of two doubleheaders this weekend against Rolfe Division rival Dartmouth. The doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday both begin at 12 p.m.

Make-A-Wish Foundation Grants Most Explosive Wish To Date [VIDEO]
The Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses, became even cooler over the weekend when it turned Maxwell Hinton's dreaming of blowing up something really big into a reality.

Check out the video of the implosion below, and let's all wish Maxwell a long happy life, full of blowing stuff up.
