| Former strip club has new tenants
Philadelphia Judge Frank Palumbo, longtime landlord of a now-shuttered strip club at 13th and Locust Streets, has leased the controversial property again, this time for a restaurant and dinner theater. Though one neighborhood group welcomes the venture, known as Evolve, another opposes it as "dubious" and questions Palumbo's judgment in renting to a group that includes a man convicted of federal bank fraud. Among Palumbo's new tenants is John David "J.D." Coleates, 46, operations manager for Triumph Brewing Co., an upscale brewpub with locations in Old City, New Hope and Princeton. Coleates spent nearly two years in prison after pleading guilty in 2000 to siphoning $2.7 million from a drag show in Honolulu called Boy-lesque. He also has a history of financial problems, court records show, including a 1992 bankruptcy filing and outstanding federal income tax liens totaling more than $200,000.
Software Notebook: Microsoft boosts bottom line by sinking Windows ...
Last summer, for example, Microsoft and the Chinese government announced the bust of a counterfeiting syndicate that the company called the largest it had ever seen -- responsible for distributing more than $2 billion in pirated programs. Also in China, major PC vendors have made commitments to ship computers with legal software preinstalled, and the Chinese government has made a push to use legal software itself. The software piracy rate in the country dropped from 92 percent in 2003 to 82 percent in 2006, according to a Business Software Alliance report. Governments are becoming "much more sensitive to this as an issue," Liddell told analysts. He also cited technology advances in Windows Vista -- alluding to a beefed-up version of the Windows Genuine Advantage tool that was released along with the new operating system last year.
Hillary Clinton: my teary moment won me New Hampshire
And then she just went out and essentially gave her heart to the people of New Hampshire. She didn't ask me anything, talk about anything, say, 'Here's why I'm doing it', and they came back, they turned." In a Fox News interview, Mr Obama put a brave face on his defeat, pointing that he had been trailing by as much as 20 points in New Hampshire as recently as two months ago and he remained in a strong position. "This is a high-stakes election and I don't think voters are going to let any candidate take anything for granted," he said. "They want to lift the hood and kick the tyres." Tabloids in New York, where Mrs Clinton serves as senator, plastered shots of her laughing face on the front page with headlines, 'Who’s Crying Now?' in the New York Daily News and, 'Back From the Dead' in the New York Post.
Wild Card/Vacation Day 11 of 12
Only two more shopping days until I return to the final days of the City Council campaigns. Then, we'll have fun taking apart the campaigns. Any dirt yet? Any mudslinging. You know, the good stuff. Or is everyone behaving? My wife is now looking over my shoulder -- literally -- so I have to pretend that I'm just checking ball scores. See ya in two days. Here's Wild Card ... .

While most solutions only provide e-mail notification of conventional audio voicemail delivery, Cypress' unified inbox application provides consolidated e-mail, voicemail, and fax receipt within Microsoft Outlook. This eliminates the need to engage multiple messaging applications. "With advanced collaboration features, video/audio/Web conferencing, find me/follow me, virtual number and related remote/mobile features providing superior interactive capabilities, Cypress can help businesses collaborate with their employees across single/multi-sites and enhance their communication with customers, vendors, partners, and remote workers," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Arvind Arun. Thus, in the event of a disaster, employees can work from home, the entire business can move to another location or even another city, and C4 IP can allow everyone to continue making and receiving calls and conducting business as usual.
Infantilism Of the Left
This past summer, organizers provided refreshments and entertainment to liven up the sparsely attended events. These rallies reminded me of the title of an old movie, "What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?" The progeny of the protesters would likely hear this response: "I did everything I could to bash our country and loathe the military." Last Friday, as I passed the park's gazebo, I noticed two individuals seated at a table while a third stood nearby, sipping something from a cardboard container. A large banner that read "Food not Bombs" was draped from the columns of the gazebo, but no one else seemed interested in partaking of the free sustenance. This city has an obesity problem, and I have yet to see any emaciated indigents in this borough who are suffering because of the war in Iraq.
