District Detroit: Inside the Ilitches' land of unfulfilled promises
Louis Aguilar
Detroit — Ilitch companies own or control at least 60% of the properties in the area they hope to transform into an entertainment district larger than the size of downtown Detroit, according to a Detroit News analysis.
The Ilitch family enterprise, founded by pizza magnates Mike and Marian Ilitch, has a dominant interest in the languishing 50-block area called The District Detroit, according to the review of property records, state records, interviews and tax assessments.
Thursday, the Detroit Medical Center plans to break ground on a new sports medicine facility on Ilitch land next to Little Caesars Arena. Earlier this week, the Ilitch group revealed a new timetable for a renovating the long-vacant 13-story Hotel Eddystone, a few yards away.
Despite promises that the district would transform a forgotten area of Detroit by 2017, more than a dozen of its 50 blocks are now more vacant than when the plan was launched in 2014, according to the News analysis.
The accounting shows just how dependent the area is upon the Ilitch organization for its development as the long-awaited tie between two of Detroit's high-demand neighborhoods.
"The walkable neighborhood with active restaurants and retail around the arena with year-round activities has not materialized because (the Ilitch organization) doesn't want it to," said Richard Etue, a Cass Corridor resident and part of a neighborhood advisory committee that has met with Ilitch officials about the plans. "I just think they don't know how to do it."
Ilitch 'aware of the coverage' critical of District Detroit
Although it's long been considered an Ilitch development, a detailed breakdown of the family's holdings in the area has never been compiled. The Ilitch group declined comment for this story, but says it has invested $1.5 billion and counting.
The group used more than two dozen companies that often cloak their ties to the organization to buy land in the district. In addition, many city-owned properties, such as Little Caesars Arena, are controlled by the Ilitch group.
The News examined the public records of more than 500 properties in and near the district to find traceable links to the organization and found:
Ilitch properties account for 83.8 acres, or 34% of the area's 243 acres. Downtown Detroit is 77.4 acres.
The Fox Theatre and Hockeytown Cafe are the only two historic buildings, of the 29 the Ilitches control, that the organization has restored and filled with tenants since 1987.
The group controls 46 empty parcels and 24 vacant buildings.
148 of the properties linked to Ilitch entities are being used for 29 parking facilities, which are the only new developments beyond the high-profile venues along Woodward Avenue.
A few large properties presumably are not available for Ilitches to buy or control. Cass Technical High School, Ford Field, two parks, a DTE Energy substation and the Masonic Temple fall within the district. Remove those and the Ilitches control at least 64% of developable land.
Grand plans
The District Detroit project has faced increasing criticism because of the lack of progress since the opening of Little Caesars Arena, its signature piece, in 2017.
Five years ago, President and CEO Chris Ilitch described elements of the massive development choreographed to rise simultaneously.
"Now we really have been unharnessed, unleashed," he said in 2014. "The idea is to have it all come out of the ground at once in 2017."
The conceptual renderings of streets brimming with sidewalk cafes and quaint shops in "five new neighborhoods," with names such as "Wildcat Corner" and "Cass Park Village," were posted on the district website. A projected 184 apartments were to open at the same time as Little Caesars Arena in 2017. Two years ago, the group said it was ready to start one of the largest residential developments in recent city history, creating nearly 700 new housing units in six buildings.
None of that, aside from the arena, has yet to come to fruition.
The Ilitch group, along with family members, have been hailed as visionaries for investing heavily in Detroit when many would not. Critics charge the group is a self-serving behemoth that left large swaths of the future district area untended while amassing land.
Many local politicians continue to express support, or simply decline comment about the delays.
"The reality is that major development often takes time," wrote Arthur Jemison, Detroit's chief of services and infrastructure. "When you take on a 50-block redevelopment, it's not surprising that some aspects will move more quickly than others."
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, in whose district the development falls, has a different perspective.
"It's just wrong and unjust," she said. "I'm tired of us trying to make it out they are the best thing that ever happened to the city. We see homeless and longtime residents being pushed out of this island they have created.
"We . . . let them, a mega-billion dollar corporation, get away with decaying and boarded up buildings for years. When are we going to hold them accountable?"
The Ilitches began stockpiling property in the area in 1987 when the company agreed to move its headquarters from the suburbs to the Fox Theatre. In some form, the Ilitches have been chasing the goal of creating new neighborhoods since at least 1992, when they began searching for a new baseball stadium for the Tigers.
The trailblazers
Part of the reality the Ilitch group envisions already exists on eight blocks along Woodward Avenue.
It includes Little Caesars Global Resources Center, the $150 million, nine-story building still under construction that will house 700 workers; the Fox Theatre, the 5,000-seat venue and office tower, which is the current Little Caesars headquarters; Comerica Park, the Wayne County-owned baseball stadium that's home to the Ilitch-owned Detroit Tigers; Little Caesars Arena, the 20,000-plus seat venue that's part of an $863 million retail and office complex; the Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University, built on land owned by the Ilitch group.
The October 1987 deal for the Fox Theatre and five blocks of property first lured the Ilitch group to Detroit. The deal still defines the relationship between the Ilitches' king-size desires and a city desperate for corporate patronage.
By then, Mike and Marian Ilitch had built the largest carry-out pizza chain in the world, a title it retains. Mike had owned the Red Wings for five years.
The Fox, a former opulent "movie palace" built in 1928, had been empty for 13 years by 1987. Signs of Detroit's fading glory were everywhere. Not far from the Fox on the once-upscale Woodward Avenue were porn theaters and party stores with clerks working behind bullet-proof glass.
The Fox deal was to revive a theater district on the northern edge of downtown near Grand Circus Park. Involving more than a dozen buildings, the city and another developer, Charles Forbes, crafted the plan. The city bought the Fox, along with four other buildings and a parking lot from Forbes and sold it all to the Ilitches for $3 million — $6.3 million in 2019 dollars.
The city demolished eight buildings to make way for parking. The city gave the Ilitches the empty Detroit Life and Blenheim buildings on Park Avenue and allowed the group to decide whether to save or raze the neoclassical-styled structures. The city loaned the Ilitches $8 million for the project.
The Ilitches spent $35.2 million on the renovation — $72.2 million in 2019 dollars. The firm relocated 250 Little Caesars workers from the suburbs to the Fox office tower. It converted the former Hughes & Hatcher building, named after a men's clothier, next to the Fox into what would become Hockeytown Café and the 430-seat City Theatre.
The purchase paid off for the Ilitches not only in profits — the Fox was the nation's top-grossing theater of its size within five years — but in marketability. The Ilitches credited the positive press as one of the reasons Little Caesars pizza sales kept growing.
The Ilitches kept empire-building. In 1992, Mike bought the Tigers for $85 million. Almost immediately, the new owner contended historic Tiger Stadium in Corktown was outdated and the Major League Baseball team needed a new home near the Fox.
City officials joined in a public campaign exploring the idea. Then-Mayor Dennis Archer and other city officials, along with reporters, traveled with Ilitch executives to visit stadiums such as Baltimore's Camden Yards.
A major snag arose back in Detroit. Building owners near the Fox were demanding double and triple the sagging market value for their properties. The high prices threatened to sink the plan.
In March 1994, the Ilitches revealed its solution: Let the organization take control of the entire neighborhood.
The plan was called Foxtown. It included:
A sports-shopping entertainment complex spanning 40 blocks and 80 acres.
A new stadium that would link to open plazas and new stores capped with glass or copper roofs.
7,000 new parking spaces.
150 new condominiums and upscale lofts.
A television production and recording studio serving both the new arena and Fox.
A Motown Museum branch, a blues-jazz hall, a movie theater, a sports hall of fame and restaurants.
A magnet school for performing arts or summer sports camps.
The llitches wanted at least two dozen buildings and sought to have another dozen demolished. The company expected at least $200 million in taxpayer support.
Foxtown never moved past the concept stage. It didn't have to. Politicians and Wayne County voters came to the rescue. Politicians crafted a ballot proposal in 1996 for a 1% hotel room tax and 2% car rental tax to pay for not just a new baseball stadium across the street from the Fox, but also a new football stadium for the Lions next to the new Tigers' home.
In 2000, the $325 million Comerica Park debuted. The Ilitch group paid about $145 million for the stadium's construction. Wayne County taxpayers and federal grants paid the rest.
The Ilitches never let go of the Foxtown idea. In 2002, during a Red Wings road game in San Jose, Calif., members of the family were struck with inspiration. It came as they walked around the new $450 million Santana Row, described as a "village within a city."
Santana Row is 42 acres of low-rise buildings in the same faux-Mediterranean style. Palm trees line security-monitored paths to shops like Gucci and Urban Outfitters, dozens of restaurants, nine spas and salons, a boutique hotel, and residences.
The Ilitches hired one of Santana Row's main designers, Richard Heapes. It wanted that same vision for the edge of downtown Detroit, mainly in the Cass Corridor neighborhood. It's one of the most desolate areas of the city.
This time, the Ilitches operated in stealth mode in its effort to buy a neighborhood -- a common tactic for developers with a big plan.
For more than a decade, various limited liability companies with no public link to the Ilitches spent nearly $50 million buying 56 properties. The firms bought empty lots, shabby homes, dive bars, vacant and occupied buildings, a shelter for Vietnam War veterans, and other sites in the area that would become the future footprint of Little Caesars Arena.
Most properties were bought way above market value. The sellers signed confidentiality agreements. The buyer left scant information in public records, using such names as the Corporation Co., with post office boxes as addresses.
The city gathered 74 properties in the future arena site and turned them over for free to the Ilitch group. The city still owns the property through its Downtown Development Authority where Little Caesars Arena stands.
Dozens of Ilitch properties have sat empty for more than a decade. "It's been painful to not be able to develop some of that property because every time we made a move, the price for other property would shoot way up," Chris Ilitch told The News in 2014. "But we had to wait, and that hurt."

Finley: This broken Ilitch promise benefits Detroit
A vision unrealized
From the start, the Ilitch organization and its supporters have sold District Detroit as the spark of widespread development in a quick amount of time. It is why the group needed hundreds of millions in tax money, it argued.
"From the time we bought the Fox Theatre, I could envision a downtown where the streets were bustling and people were energized," Mike Ilitch said in a December 2012 statement. It came when state legislation was introduced to allow public funding to help build the arena. "It's been a slow process, but we're getting there now."
In 2014, as the group sought Detroit City Council approval of the deal, Ilitch documents given to the Council state 184 residential units would likely be ready when the arena opened in September 2017.
In January 2016, Ilitch officials declared a new major hotel, with 300-400 rooms, and about 150 residential units would be open less than "20 months from now," said an Olympia Development of Michigan vice presidentat the time, Steve Marquardt.
The images of the five new neighborhoods are no longer on the District Detroit website. The hotel and residential units are still planned, but the timeline is vague.
The eight-block stretch of Woodward Avenue makes the family's ambitions vital to the city. Beyond Woodward, the other major Ilitch development is the MotorCity Casino Hotel. The casino hotel, owned by Marian Ilitch, is just past the northwest border of the district on Grand River Avenue.
Ilitch companies are the city's fourth largest employer in the city, with 7,686 workers, which is 1,325 more than General Motors employs in Detroit. Income tax collected from workers' paychecks is the city government's largest source of funds. The money helps pay for services such as police, fire department and fixing potholes.
The venues run by the Ilitches attract more than 12 million visitors annually.
It's tough to put a true price on all the breaks Ilitch companies have been awarded since the 1987 Fox Theatre deal. By conservative estimates, it has been awarded a half billion dollars in tax subsidies and grants; the company has been given dozens of properties for free; dozens of others have been demolished, there are the two decades of free city police patrols for Red Wings and Tigers games (the practice stopped in 2018).
But the Ilitches are still chasing their long-deferred dream.
Plenty of parking
Many Cass Corridor residents view the surface parking lots and parking garages as daily reminders the Ilitch plans are not geared for them.
"Of course, it's not about the people who have lived here, it's about getting new people here," said Karen McLeod, a 30-year Cass Corridor resident. The neighborhood is also called Midtown.
In 2016, the Ilitches built, expanded or renovated 18 parking lots. The city didn't enforce a landscaping requirement applied to surface parking lots, allowing more room for additional parking spaces. More than 7,800 "secure, well-lit and credit card-ready parking spots" are operated by Ilitch's Olympia Development of Michigan.
McLeod lives in an apartment building operated by a nonprofit dedicated to keeping affordable housing in the area. It's a few blocks from the arena. The city took away most of the street parking to make room for Little Caesars Arena traffic. During most LCA events "there's just a flood of traffic, and we are just kind of trapped," she said. There are about 200 LCA events a year.
When there is not an event, the neighborhood "feels hollowed out now," McLeod said. "People are being forced out or just leaving. There are far fewer business now."
Howes: Empty Ilitch promises loom over FCA plant package
Vacant buildings, lots
Meanwhile, 24 vacant buildings and 46 vacant lots are under Ilitch control, spread throughout the district.
Patrons who use the northwest corner of Little Caesars Arena pass by the towering ex-Hotel Eddystone, a lifeless 13-story building near the Cass Avenue/Sproat Street part of the sports/entertainment complex. This week, a new plan for the Eddystone was released. It's a $40.9 million renovation to convert the building for residential and ground-floor retail. The building would ready for occupancy sometime around 2021 or 2022.
Amid a bustling downtown near Grand Circus Park, the 18-story United Artists Theatre, 150 Bagley Ave., had been dormant since the early 1980s. The Ilitch organization bought the former movie palace in 1997.
On Park Avenue, the Detroit Life and Blenheim buildings that the city gave to the Ilitch group as part of the 1987 Fox Theatre deal are still vacant.
Not far from the MotorCity Casino Hotel is a virtual dead zone of 22 properties on the western border of the district; a mix of grassy lots around Temple between Third and Fourth and two blocks of boarded-up buildings along Grand River.
In May 2017, Ilitch officials said the group was ready to start one of the largest residential projects Detroit had seen in decades. Six buildings would be used to create 686 residential units. The Eddystone and the United Artists buildings were to be among the four vacant buildings to be filled, along with the construction of two new buildings. The buildings should have been opened by now or well on the way to being renovated.
Beyond the new deadline set for the Eddystone this week, the timeline for remaining projects are more fluid.
City officials remain content to allow the Ilitch group to determine when that time is appropriate.
Tax breaks sought for $40.9M renovation of ex-hotel next to arena
Absentee landlord
There are four apartment buildings on streets where Ilitch-run parking lots take up most of the block. The surface lots look spotless and secure. The apartment buildings are at risk ever since being bought by Ilitch-linked entities, said more than a dozen current and past residents and others familiar with the conditions.
At three apartment buildings on the same block of Henry Street, one of the buildings has closed and the other two have been hit with city blight violations since an Ilitch-linked entity bought the properties in 2016.
The residents in the three Henry Street apartments, 96 units in total, pay $300 to $400 a month in rent and don't have long-term leases. Many residents are service industry workers, such as dishwashers in one of the nearby trendy restaurants or cleaners of downtown office buildings. Some residents have substance abuse issues and other challenges that make daily life a struggle. But, by Cass Corridor standards, the buildings were stable and clean. Each building had its own maintenance person under the prior owner.
Conditions in the buildings quickly changed since the 2016 sale. Months after the sale, a partial roof collapse permanently closed one of the buildings. Before the building closed, it joined the other two apartment buildings in racking up nearly two dozen blight violations for such things as rodent infestation, failure to inspect for lead paint and dangerous living conditions, according to public documents.
In summer 2018, The News found an old mattress blocking a staircase in one of the buildings. In the other building, an unused janitor sink in the hallway was dirt-caked and cockroach infested. In July, the Ilitch group said it was the true owner of the buildings. The admission came as it sought city approval to tear down four empty buildings, including one at the corner of Henry and Cass, near the apartments.
One block from the Henry Street apartments is another small historic apartment building owned by an entity linked to the Ilitch group. The Cass Park Apartments, 2714 Second, was bought in July 2016 for $2.1 million.
Since the purchase, parking for the 37-unit building has been wiped out by the Ilitch-run parking lot next to the building. Management of the building has changed at least twice during that time, according to current and past residents.
When asked about Cass Park Apartments in February, the Ilitch organization emailed The News a one-sentence reply:
"We are very excited about our development plans for The District Detroit and look forward to sharing future project plans at the appropriate time."
Cass Corridor resident Etue says it's time for the city to take a harder line with the organization.
"My across-the-board position is, 'put up or shut up" as far as (the Ilitch group) is concerned," Etue said.

Park district talks with horse association
Dayton Horse Show Association looking for new facility home
By Melanie Yingst - Miami Valley Today
MIAMI COUNTY — Miami County Park District board entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Dayton Horse Show Association to explore the possibility of building a new covered outdoor arena and barn at Lost Creek Reserve on Tuesday.
Executive Director Scott Myers said the Dayton Horse Show Association (DHSA) approached park officials last fall about the possibility of building a facility on the west side of the Lost Creek Reserve.
Myers said they would be open to the possibility of building a future facility. Myers said neither party is committed to the project, but the memorandum of understanding would allow the groups to discuss the feasibility of a partnership.
"Both sides clearly understand this might not be the right fit for them, they might not be the right fit for us," Myers said. "So, this will help at least start that process whether it will be feasible."
Myers said the DHSA was located at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in downtown Dayton for 150 years. The DHSA did not move tothe new Montgomery County Fairgrounds location on Infirmary Road, near Trotwood, instead contracting with the Clark County Fair for three years to use their facilities for their show.
"Their first choice is to come to us," Myers said. Myers said their board will review the memorandum in April. He explained that DHSA would hold their annual show at their new location and then allow the park district to use the space throughout the rest of the year.
"That's the initial vision of how we'd like to see it," Myers said.
In other news, the board approved to spend $45,000 for the Poggemeyer Design Group to prepare the preliminary design for a proposed recreational trail from the village of Fletcher to Garbry Big Woods Reserve.
Myers said the design will include a connecting path within the right-of-way on the east side of Casstown-Sidney Road to cross into the park. The trail project will be funded by a Clean Ohio grant. Myers said the west side of the road way has issues with the creek which is prone to flood and would be more expensive to build. Myers said he has contacted the county engineer's office about the location of the bike path connection, which will use right-of-way on the east side.
Myers also reported the park district received Congestion Mitigation Air Quality or CMAQ grant for the Piqua city limits to Casstown Sidney road bike path. That portion of the bike trail project is expected to commence in 2023 or 2024.
• The board approved to spend $9, 494.95 to vendor K.E. Rose Company to outfit a 2019 Ford F-150 pickup with a law enforcement package for the park district park ranger.
• The board approved to spend $35,140 to vendor Pence Excavating to install a 12-foot wide gravel drive and parking area at the cabin at Lost Creek Reserve. The drive is approximately 3,994 linear feet. The new service drive will be used for the upcoming Holiday Lights display event next winter. The park district will provide all the gravel for the project through its ODOT road funds.
• The board entered into an agreement with Desi Layman Signature Homes to perform updates to convert the restroom at Garbry Big Woods Reserve to a year-round facility for $15,093. The work will begin in the spring.
• The board authorized to purchase one new 2019 Dodge Ram Crew Cab 4×4 pick-up truck from Paul Sherry for $27,570. The dealership offered $12,000 for the trade-in value of a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 4×4 Pickup with a Boss V-Plow for for a total expense of $15,700.

2.6 million businesses are VAT or PAYE registered.
However, small business owners often experience cash flow challenges that result in a struggle to survive as a business and often fall into debt. Running a business whilst juggling household bills and personal debts can make it difficult to decide what to prioritise and pay first.
When it comes to business costs, some are more important than others as they can result in significant problems that interrupt your operations.
If you've fallen behind with tax, VAT or National Insurance payments then you should contact HMRC immediately. Check that you're being asked to pay the correct amount and make sure that the information you've given about your business income and expenses is correct (otherwise your tax bill may be over-estimated). Admit that you're struggling to make the payments and offer to pay the debt at an amount that you can afford. HMRC advisors will help you to work out a budget and set an amount that you can afford to pay towards tax.
If you don't stick to the payment plan or at least begin to pay an amount you can afford immediately, HMRC may take action. HMRC enforcement agents (the bailiffs) are able to remove stock and equipment from your business or goods from your home without a court order. These will be sold and the money used to clear your debts. Whilst enforcement agents can enter your business premises without a court order, permission from a court must be obtained before they are allowed to enter your home. In practice, enforcement agents rarely use force and if they are unable to obtain these goods from your or agree a payment arrangement with you, they are more likely to rely on another collection method like making you bankrupt.
If you're self-employed and need help with debts, Business Debtline is a free to use service where you can seek advice on your business finances and debt problems so that you can make an informed decision on the next steps to take in order to resolve your financial problems.

Political movies can approach the notion of politics and government from numerous perspectives, and with many wildly divergent purposes. Some of the earliest and best-remembered films were essentially propaganda tools being used by a political party or ideological group, hoping that the new media of cinema could be useful in helping to persuade or mollify the masses. (In some cases, as with the Nazi documentary "Triumph of the Will" or Sergei Eisenstein's massively influential "Battleship Potemkin," they were undeniable successful, at least initially.)
Political films can also serve the opposite purpose, encouraging people to distrust or even fear their government, or attacking an individual politician or political movement specifically. Some of the best political movies, the paranoia thrillers of the 1970s, for example, reflected America's distrust in its own leaders following the Watergate and other corruption scandals. More recently, George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" told a true story about journalist Edward R. Murrow facing off against Joseph McCarthy, but as a way of discussing political issues that remained relevant even upon its release in 2005. Good political movies are able to illuminate complicated situations for their viewers.
Many Americans' understanding of complex political situations, both in their homeland and in other countries, as well, comes from watching popular films. For example, the satirical take on the politics of war in "Wag the Dog," the insights into Greek politics provided by Costa-Gavras "Z" or the look at Bolivian elections in the documentary "Our Brand is Crisis."

A Greenisland actor has landed the key role of artist Leonardo da Vinci in a smash television drama.
Stephen Hagan will play the famous Italian in series three of Netflix's Medici - series 2 started last weekend.
Stephen Hagan as Leonardo da Vinci.
The Italian-British television production is set in 15th-century Florence with a high-profile cast including Dustin Hoffman, Richard Madden, Sean Bean, Sarah Parish and Daniel Sharman.
The Medici family were one of the most powerful and influential families in 15th century Europe. As wealthy bankers, savvy businessmen and brilliant political strategists they rose to the highest ranks of Florentine society. Their influence and power spread far beyond the city.
Stephen says: "It was a real honour to get the part. As big as we know Leonardo is throughout the art world, he has a special place in Italy's heart. The fact that the series is also going to be shown in Italy created an added pressure.
Medici series 3 film set.
Stephen added: "The filming locations were amazing. We started filming in September last year in Rome and then in Tuscany. I visited Florence and Da Vinci, a village outside of Florence where Leonardo was born and where he gets his name, to get some insight into environmental influences that may have been at play in his psyche.
Stephen recently appeared in the third series of Sky 1's blockbuster drama, Stan Lee's Lucky Man and has also been on cinema screens in the independent movie 'Zoo'.
He is married to the actress and comedian Wendy Wason and they live in North London with their three children.

BlackBerry Q1 revenue, adjusted earnings beat estimates but stock falls
By David PaddonThe Canadian Press
Mon., June 25, 2018timer2 min. read
BlackBerry Ltd. shares sank almost 10 per cent to their lowest levels in weeks on Friday, despite beating analysts' estimates and reporting a solid start to its 2019 financial year.
The company's stock closed down $1.45 or 9.29 per cent at $14.16 on the Toronto Stock Exchange to put it back to where it was trading in early May.
BlackBerry, which reports in U.S. currency, reported adjusted earnings of three cents per share, beating analysts' expectations of neutral earnings, while revenue was $213 million, surpassing expectations of $208.02 million for the quarter ended May 31, according to Thomson Reuters Eikon.
Revenue from software and services was $189 million, up 18 per cent year-over-year, although growth was unevenly distributed between BlackBerry's three main business units.
BlackBerry's enterprise software and services business had $79 million of revenue, down 14 per cent from last year, while revenue from licensing intellectual property was up 96 per cent to $63 million. BlackBerry Technology Solutions, which primarily consists of the QNX business, was up 31 per cent at $47 million.
BlackBerry chief executive John Chen said the quarter makes him "feel good" about BlackBerry's outlook for fiscal 2019, which began March 1, but said he doesn't want to be overly optimistic about its growth trajectory — which he said would be gradual, not sudden.
"Sometimes, (if) you get overly bullish, you jinx yourself," Chen said in an interview.
Chen said that BlackBerry expects QNX's automotive products, which include older infotainment software and newer technology for autonomous vehicles, will ramp up gradually rather than repeat the 31 per cent year-over-year growth rate in this year's first quarter.
"Honestly speaking, that number was a little higher than I expected," Chen said after his quarterly call with analysts.
"In this year's growth number, we start seeing some of the new stuff in addition to infotainment systems. That's encouraging."
In addition, he said, the number of vehicles with BlackBerry software has grown to 120 million, from 60 million three years ago, which increases the royalty payments from automakers and other automotive customers.
He said there's a danger that a long-term disruption in global trade could affect BlackBerry but so far there's been no evidence it has been affected by the Trump administration's hard stance against other countries and regions.
Analysts had also estimated a net loss of five cents per share but the loss was more than double that at 11 cents per share, or $60 million, which was up from $10 million or two cents per share in last year's first quarter.
BlackBerry said this year's first-quarter net loss included $28 million related to an adjustment of the fair value of some of its debt and $22 million related to amortization of acquired intangibles.
There was also $18 million in stock compensation expense and $4 million in restructuring charges.
The company, which no longer manufactures smartphones but continues to provide software and branding under licence, announced Friday that it has a new partnership with Bullitt Group, a British smartphone and consumer electronics maker.
Bullitt intends to embed BlackBerry cybersecurity technology into a range of rugged products with the Cat (Caterpillar Inc.) and Land Rover brands, to address the needs of security-conscious consumer and enterprise customers.

Pacman on watusi: I have proof of corruption
In a radio interview from the United States, Sen. Manny Pacquiao expressed amusement over Malacañang's earlier description of his corruption allegations as "watusi" or a simple firecracker played by children. (Manny Pacquiao FB Page)
MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Manny Pacquiao vowed yesterday to present witnesses and evidence, including videos and audio recordings, of cases of corruption when the Senate starts its investigation into alleged anomalies in various government agencies.
In a radio interview from the United States, Pacquiao expressed amusement over Malacañang's earlier description of his corruption allegations as "watusi" or a simple firecracker played by children.
"I just laugh when they said 'watusi.' When I get back (in August), I'll release video and audio recording, as long as they (inquiry) allow it," Pacquiao told dzBB in Filipino.
"I'm not quarrelling with you, Mr. President. I know you dislike corruption. I've also told you many times before that I want to see them (corrupt officials) in jail," he said.
Amid infighting within his party the PDP-Laban, Pacquiao also lamented that there were efforts to distract him so he would lose in his welterweight bout with Errol Spence on Aug. 21.
Pacquiao filed a resolution this week seeking a Senate inquiry into the alleged unaccounted P10.4-billion funds intended as emergency financial assistance for poor families, distributed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
Pacquiao said he has many witnesses who can testify on the corruption in various agencies.
He also lamented that the attacks against him are getting more vicious, especially as he is trying to focus on his fight.
"The truth is, I did not steal, I did not dupe other people and I don't take advantage of anyone. I was just following my heart in defending ordinary Filipinos. Imagine, if they can do that to me, what more of ordinary or poor Filipinos?" Pacquiao said. — Paolo Romero

Media Yawn at Hollywood Child Abuse
Brent Bozell and Tim Graham
In August of 2011, the former child actor Corey Feldman made a stunning assertion to ABC News: "I can tell you that the No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia. That's the biggest problem for children in this industry ... It's the big secret." The rest of the media said nothing.
Almost three years later, it's happening again. The Los Angeles Times reported on April 18 that "X-Men" director Bryan Singer "has been accused in a federal lawsuit of drugging and sexually assaulting an aspiring teenage actor in the 1990s."
Michael Egan III claims that he was forced into a "sordid sex ring" in the entertainment industry in which underage boys were supplied alcohol and drugs. Egan alleges that the assaults took place at wild parties in California and Hawaii when he was 17.
"The claims made against Bryan Singer are completely without merit," said Singer's attorney Marty Singer (no relation). "We are very confident that Bryan will be vindicated in this absurd and defamatory lawsuit."
Days later, Egan's lawyer Jeffrey Herman sued three more entertainment industry figures alleging sexual abuse: former NBC Entertainment president Garth Ancier, former Disney executive David Neuman and theater producer Gary Goddard.
"Hollywood has a problem with the sexual exploitation of children," Herman declared. "This is the first of many cases I will be filing to give these victims a voice and to expose the issue."
Trial lawyers making sexual abuse allegations against Catholic priests can count on explosive national media coverage. This lawyer cannot. There is virtual silence. None of the broadcast or cable news networks are reporting on this lawsuit. The Los Angeles Times and New York Times reports have been brief. USA Today and the Washington Post haven't located the story at all.
For his part, Singer is accusing Egan of trying to ruin the publicity for his latest "X-Men" film. For the media's part, this should make the story more newsworthy.
Days after these lawsuits came to light, the networks used the canonization festivities for Pope John Paul II to slam him again, condemning him for inaction during his tenure on lawsuits alleging sexual abuse by priests. The "victims rights advocates" lined up to get their licks in. NBC's Anne Thompson summarized: "John Paul II has many critics who say he did not do enough -- or did very little -- to stop the sex abuse crisis."
The TV networks never tire of long-form journalism attacking the Catholic hierarchy on sex abuse lawsuits. Last year, HBO ran an anti-Catholic screed titled "Mea Maxima Culpa" by Alex Gibney, who called Pope Benedict a "criminal."
In February, the leftist PBS documentary series "Frontline" aired "Secrets of the Vatican." Producer Antony Thomas piled up anonymous sources claiming sex parties among the clergy. "There was a lot that came to light, including a man who was, as it were, providing choirboys as rent boys," Thomas said. "There are a lot of people in the Vatican who are gay who are leading celibate lives, and this is difficult for them. And there are others who are promiscuous."
All of the secularists at the news networks and HBO don't need a guilty verdict in a courtroom to pass judgment on Catholics for allegedly tolerating the sexual abuse of children or clergy sex parties in Vatican City. Any accusation from anybody is all it takes.
But Hollywood has the media's get-out-of-jail-free card, even when children are abused.

BMW, Toyota Release More Information On Green Engine Partnership
Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield December 1, 2011 Comment Now!
Earlier this week our sister site Motor Authority reported that the European arms of BMW and Toyota had plans to work together on exchanging diesel and hybrid car technology in a mutually beneficial agreement.
Now the two firms have outlined the full details of the agreement in a press conference held earlier today at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, showing more to the agreement than we initially thought.
According to the official press release, Toyota and BMW signed a memorandum of understanding earlier this week at the show, "concerning a mid-to-long-term collaboration on next-generation environment-friendly technologies."
In the real world, that equates to collaborative research into next-generation lithium-ion battery packs for use in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric cars.
Something not mentioned before today, the agreement is a smart move for both companies, thanks to Toyota's extensive experience of battery packs in its world-class Prius hybrid car and BMW's ongoing field trials into all-electric cars culminating in the market launch of the i3 and i8 plug-in cars.
2009 BMW 335d
Toyota getting 1.6, 2.0 liter diesels
In addition to lithium-ion battery pack research, the deal covers diesel engines as we described on Tuesday.
In Europe, where diesel engines can be found in around 50 percent of all new cars, Toyota Motor Europe will gain BMW's 1.6 and 2.0 liter diesel engines. Currently offered as powerplants in cars like the BMW 3-series, the two engines will be used by Toyota to boost its under-represented diesel portfolio in Europe.
Open agreement
But while diesel, battery and hybrid technology collaborations form the basis of the agreement, both companies remain open to the possibility of working together on other projects, provided it proves mutually beneficial.
In reality, it may prove a little more difficult than simply finding common shared ground. As MotorAuthority points out, Both Toyota and BMW already have extensive, specific agreements with other automakers, covering a wide range of hybrid and high-mileage technologies. For example, BMW is planning to sell its diesel engines to French automaker Citroën, as well as develop small-engined hybrids with the Peugeot-Citroën group for use in the next generation Mini.
Toyota is similarly tied into various other green technology agreements, including licensing its hybrid engine technology to both Nissan and Mazda, as well as an electric vehicle partnership with Tesla.
With existing agreements already penned with rival automakers in similar areas of technology, the new BMW Toyota relationship may not be quite as wide-ranging as the open-ended press release may indicate, but we look forward to seeing what the two firms can produce together.

Album of the Week: Runaway by Wild Horses
KAXE | By Kari Hedlund
If you've been listening to KAXE over the past year, or attended the Grand Rapids Riverfest in 2021, you'll recognize the name Wild Horses. Made up of Grand Rapidians, Jed & Ariana LaPlant, McKeon Hugh Roberts and JJ Snell, the band has released their debut album called Runaway.
After they made their debut as a band on the west stage at Riverfest, they spent the last year building and honing in on their sound. Spending time in and out of the recording studio and performing throughout the state, they have put together a record that displays their vision, talents, varying energy. The album creates a journey of sounds, a little bit dark and shadowy with a whole lotta love.
They are headed out west (tour dates here) this next week before they play main stage at the Grand Rapids Riverfest, Saturday, September 10th! Sharing the stage with Chastity Brown, Shovels & Rope and headliners, Wilco, you'll get to hear these songs live and in person from Wild Horses in true festival fashion.

38 climate protesters arrested after disruption at Colorado Gov. Jared Polis' State of the State
"Ban fracking now!" one man shouted just as the governor took the lectern
AAron Ontiveroz, The Denver Post
A protestor is removed for causing a scene during the state of the state address at the Colorado State Capitol on Thursday, January 9, 2020.

Protesters urging climate action interrupted — and then were forced out of — the Colorado State Capitol on Thursday ahead of and during the governor's State of the State address.
Minutes before Gov. Jared Polis arrived in the House of Representatives, several people seated in the chamber's upstairs gallery shouted "mic check!" before shouting various calls for new climate policy, including a fracking ban.
Multiple protesters could be seen being physically dragged out of the gallery, some in handcuffs. According to the Denver Police Department, 38 protesters were taken into custody on charges including trespassing, disrupting a lawful assembly and obstruction of a peace officer.

There was a brief calm after a tense flare-up, and Polis entered the room to the customary standing ovation. He shook hands and, as soon as he took to the lectern, one person in the gallery shouted "ban fracking now!" and was swiftly forced out of the room.
At one point, protesters unveiled a large anti-fracking banner.

Soon after, a large group assembled to chant and protest in the hallways of the Capitol, and some of their sound seeped into the House chamber where Polis was speaking.
This crowd, too, was quickly forced out of the building. An exasperated Colorado State Patrol officer could be heard yelling at the protesters for being disruptive.
Protestors affix a sign to the railing of the house gallery shortly before being removed from the event during the State of the State address at the Capitol in Denver on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2020.

Many of the protesters were affiliated with the groups Sunrise Movement and Extinction Rebellion.
Polis met with reporters about two hours after the incident, but was not keen to discuss the protest or the oil and gas industry in general. He said he could not comment on the protesters because he didn't see them with his own eyes.
Pressed on the issue, Polis eventually said he does not believe fracking should be banned.
"That's never been my position," he said.

To reduce and reverse the loss of valuable forestland and biodiversity, Colombia is developing a national strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, also known as REDD. Under funding from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB), this project supported the Government of Colombia in the implementation of its National REDD+ Strategy. Through technical and policy support, strengthening capacity for implementing an ambitious national REDD+ program, building a nesting framework for integrating subnational and private sector efforts, and promoting transparent accounting and reporting of results countrywide, this project had a meaningful impact for advancing Colombia's REDD+ program.

You remember where you were when you heard the news of Davey Allison's helicopter crash. It was the day after Loudon. It was one of those times. We have all had too many of those memories.
July 12, 1993, the day after Loudon, had already been a roller coaster day, full of twists and turns, peaks and harrowing drops. My wife was having "routine" surgery that day. "Routine" they say, but when it's you or a loved one is there really anything "routine" about it? We had already gone through the sleepless night, the nervous early morning ride to Lexington, the frustration finding a parking spot and the crowded check-in.
The first drop came when they took her away to be prepped. There was brief relief when we were briefly reunited and could talk, hold hands say our "I-love-yous" and "See-you-laters." The next drop came when they wheeled her away to surgery.
Then came the dreaded wait. The not knowing. The clock ticking on the waiting room wall like the clacking of the chain taking you to the top of the next big hill of the roller coaster ride. Would there be relief when they called your name or would it be a huge drop? All you can do is wait... and pray.
A few long hours later they finally called my name and told me the surgery is over, she is doing fine and as soon as we get her in a room, you can see her. What a relief! As time passes, I noticed family after family who came in with us had now left and the "not knowing" resurfaced and the clock ticking again turns into chain clacking as I climbed another dreaded hill. Then the next anxious wait begins, torn between having to know and not wanting to know.
I finally go back to the desk and ask for a status update. You told me at 10:30 she was in recovery and they were waiting on a room. It's now 3:30. What's going on?
The next words are ones you never want to hear...
"Oh Mr. Nance, no one told you? We lost your wife."
A horrifying drop like no other. Lost her? How is that possible? You told me she was fine.
My expression of disbelief and horror told her all she needed to know. She quickly corrected her accurate but incredibly poor choice of words. "When she left recovery we didn't have a room to move her to, then we did. Then we moved her from there to another room. We're at a shift change and haven't received that information yet. She's fine... we just don't know where she is now..."
Up another hill and now another wait until my MIA wife could be located and we be reunited. I'm ready to go searching myself. Another 45 minutes pass before she is found and I get to see her. There was a mix of relief and frustration bordering on anger, had it not been for the fact that she was OK and we were together.
After we talked a bit, she said she was tired and rolled over to take a much needed nap. Thinking the roller coaster ride was finally over, I grabbed the remote and turned to ESPN for some much needed normalcy. It was then I first heard about Davey's crash.
I had topped another unexpected hill and was hurtling down again.
All I could do is pray. That's all I had done all day it seemed, but I had been around helicopters enough to know this didn't sound good. Friends who had worked on them in Vietnam had told me helicopters were nothing but 10,000 spare parts flying in close formation. I always thought they were pulling my leg but there was nothing humorous about them now. The feeling in the pit of my stomach was sickening... almost as bad as when I heard the word "lost" earlier.
As I spent my long night at the hospital at my wife's side my roller coaster ride continued as my thoughts went from the peaks of having my wife resting in a Lexington hospital after successful surgery to the horrifying drop going on 400 miles away in the Birmingham trauma unit. I could not imagine what Davey's family, friends and those close to him were going through.
I kept telling myself he can pull through. He's an Allison. He's Bobby's son. He's tough. Just look what he went through last season. Bristol-hard crash-injured shoulder-relief driver to finish the race. Next week-a win at North Wilkesboro. Martinsville-hard crash-injured ribs. Next week-a win at Talladega. The All Star race followed and we know how that played out with Davey winning but crashing hard at the line. Was unconscious when he was extracted from the car and celebrated the win in the hospital instead of Victory Lane. Next week, finished fourth after 600 grueling miles at Charlotte. Through it he all he was sitting atop the points, a position he'd held since opening the season with his win at Daytona.
Any way you cut it, that's tough.
He was still in the lead when he went into Pocono, dominating the race until a violent lap 150 wreck saw him airlifted out with a severe concussion, broken arm, wrist, collarbone and severely bruised eyes. His 33rd place finish forces him out of the points lead for the first time and Talladega was next up.
The 1992 Diehard 500 would be the last time I would be at a track to see Davey race. He was in no shape to even be in the car, much less race Talladega, but that was a different time, not like today where the CEO can make exceptions for injured drivers and allow them to compete for the championship even if they missed races. Back then, if you didn't start the race you didn't collect points. If you got in the car and couldn't get out on your own you didn't get the points. The entire week was focused on would he race or not.
Davey wanted the points lead back and needed all the points he could get. So with Velcro on his driving glove, shifter knob and steering wheel to help him hold his right arm that was in a cast in the correct position, Davey crawled in and strapped in. NASCAR wanted him to complete one lap and turn the car over to relief driver, Bobby Hillin, Jr. Davey wanted to go to the first caution to give his team the best chance to win. You see those were the days before Lucky Dogs and Wave Arounds and if you lost a lap at Talladega then, the only way to get it back was to race past the leader. When the field rolled off pit road all eyes were on the #28 to see what Davey could and would do.
I can't ever remember wanting to see a driver not get in a car and once in do I ever remember wanting to see one get out of a car, but that was the emotion that day.
The green flag dropped and Davey did his best. Lap One - he stayed on the track. Lap Two. Lap Three, on he went. Lap Six - caution, rain in Turn One. A brief sprinkle, just enough to bring out the caution and allow him to bring the #28 to pit road. Maybe Alan was looking down that day.
He still had to get out of the car. His exit was brutally slow and painful. You could almost feel 100,000 fans willing him out of the car. When he dragged himself out and sat down on the pit wall the cheer was deafening. You would have thought he'd won the race and in my mind he had. He was out of the car, clear of danger and had turned his very fast car over to a capable relief driver who could finish the job.
Bobby would finish third, earning enough points to put Davey back in the points lead.
If you never saw it or too much time has passed here is a link to the race including the pre-race with a lengthy discussion on Pocono.
(Note-It's worth watching the first few minutes to see the broadcast team of Ken Squire, Ned Jarrett, Neil Bonnett, and Chris Economaki. The young Mike Joy sounds a little different with this group than his current team)
Davey was tough. Please let him pull through this.
It was a long night with my attention split between making sure my wife was comfortable and resting and keeping an eye on the TV for the latest news from Birmingham. As the night dragged into early morning, it was becoming more difficult to keep my spirits up as the drop seemed never-ending. My thoughts drifted back to Atlanta-the wreck that knocked him out of the Championship, playing over and over in my mind. My thoughts were not on the emotional drop that occurred when Ernie Irvan collected him, or Benny Parsons trying to put a positive spin on it, that it wasn't that bad, trying to maintain hope that it wasn't over. No, what kept going through my mind were the words of Bob Jenkins as Davey waved to the crowd and climbed in the ambulance...
You can click here and scroll to 3:54 to hear Jenkins' words that when I heard him say them the first time caused my stomach to drop beyond even further.
"There will be other years, there's no question about that"
Those words had haunted me since I first heard them that day. They did again this day after Loudon. They still do to this day.
As the early morning light broke through, I kept asking how could this be, how did this happen? It was just a few hours earlier he had the inaugural race at Loudon in hand, a win thwarted by a late caution that allowed Rusty Wallace to get by for the win. Mark Martin slipped by for second leaving Davey with a third place finish.
Loudon would be the last time we would ever see him race. His final post-race interview was classic Davey. The smile. The hope. The shout-out to Krista... and Robbie and Liz. The plans for bringing a new car back next season.
It closed with Randy Pemberton's "See you next week."
Before the morning was over there would be no "other years", no "next season", no "see you next week" for Davey Allison. Before the morning was over Davey Allison was gone. He had received his earthly Checkered Flag. His race here was over.
The day after Loudon had been a massive roller coaster ride-two intertwined; one with my wife and one with Davey. They each had dramatically different endings.
For the last twenty-five years, the day after Loudon has been a constant reminder to me that we are all living on the White Flag lap. Our Green and White Flags dropped when we were first held up by our heels and smacked on our backsides so we would scream and take our first breath. Since that time we have been on that White Flag lap, racing back to our Finish Line... wherever that may be.
We get one Lap around before our Checkered Flag falls. There are no Caution flags, no Overtimes, no Restarts, No Lucky Dogs or Wave Arounds. There are many twists and turns. Rarely do we know what is around the next bend. But it's our race, on our track... one lap.
If there is something we need to do, want to do it, if we want to make a move, now is the time. Live, love, make a difference while we can.
Like that day after Loudon twenty-five years ago, we never know when our Flag will fall.
Till then, race on.
(Editor's note: Some ten years after Davey's death, a ruling was issued by the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) concerning the crash. The Board found the cause of the crash to be "a stress break in the collective yoke", the device that controls the pitch of the rotor blades on the helicopter. It was not pilot error!)

FRANKLIN MARRIOTT COOL SPRINGS
Franklin Marriott Cool Springs is a stone's throw away from the nation's heartbeat, Nashville, Tennessee. Originally built in 1998, the hotel connects to the city's main conference center, boasting 29,000 sf of guest space. In 2014, the client, Davidson Hotels & Resorts, partnered with tvsdesign to identify underlying brand challenges, integrate creative solutions and create an authentic Southern experience within the contemporary standards of a Marriott hotel. They subsequently embarked on a full revamp of the lobby lounge and bar, secondary public areas and refreshed the look of the guest rooms. Tvsdesign developed a color palette inspired by denim indigo over an array of warm grey neutrals to evoke the effortless and casual authenticity of the area. The hotel took on an entirely new ambiance with open space, upgraded amenities, and an overall modern and fresh design appeal that still captures the heart of the Southern essence that has always been the core of the hotel.
THE COLOR PALETTE, INSPIRED BY DENIM INDIGOS, EVOKES AN EFFORTLESS, CASUAL SOUTHERN VIBE
DESIGN GOALS & STRATEGY
The design team opened up the lobby, integrating a more flowing and communal space that gives visible access to the lobby bar and dining options. Addressing the issue of a restaurant that originally sat 24" above the main level, the entire restaurant was raised into one level, creating a more expansive and unified space while increasing the restaurant's energy, and making it visible from all corners of the lobby. By extending the restaurant's height while maintaining the width, the design team was able to redesign the existing bar within its existing footprint but allow it to appear twice as large.
For the appointed guest rooms, tvsdesign integrated new finishes and surfaces, including custom wall-coverings featuring Tennessee's rolling hills as a backdrop behind each bed, multi-purpose lounge seating, and open-closets which double as multi-functional nooks for storage and in-room coffee stations.
The result is an authentic mix of Marriott's contemporary fresh look and brand standards that stays true to the local, laid-back vibe. The updated design takes on a modern and fresh approach that exudes effortless, casual style and a Southern chic vibe. The ambiance of the once closed off hotel has opened this space up to be a more inviting and interactive environment. What was once a divided lobby, the lobby lounge and restaurant has transformed into a large open space integrating a variety of seating with private nooks, communal tables and library that doubles as a computer/printing station for guest. The open lounge spills into the all-day dining area allowing guests to dine as they please and where they please, transforming it into an active and engaging area.
The revitalization of the Franklin Marriott Cool Springs appeals to new and returning guests of all ages with the implementation of modern Marriott branding mixed with the region's unique local flavor. It's an environment that allows guests to experience the southern charm of Tennessee in the comfort of a contemporary hotel.

At 154 pounds here, I myself am struggling with this issue. Having gone to various dietitians and nutritionists, what I've now come down to is following a proper diet with a limited amount of calories and other nutrients. I still struggle with food sometimes, especially during family outings and social get togethers, but I somehow manage. I usually eat salads, beans, protein based food, and when I have a craving I go for dark chocolate. I've also added 3 miles of treadmill in my daily routine now. I'd really appreciate if you can also help me with the same! Always open to new tips.


I love how I can unload all the feelings I have from a book/film on Nyna!!! #TheChosenOne Because she doesn't mind spoilers and can tolerate the scary/gory stuff that I always watch hahaha.
Was talking to her about The Ruins today and she watched the movie trailer but I refused to tell her who the enemy was. She said that she'll make me tell her by the end of the day. I controlled myself all the way…. till 4pm. And she didn't even do anything to make me spill! I was reading the book on my laptop and just had to talk about it with someone.
It's hard to imagine a book about killer plants being so good and suspenseful but it is!
Anw, we covered one story at noon, and planned to start another after lunch. In the end, they ended up watching EXO-K videos till 6pm and I was secretly glad and even stayed the extra 30 minutes just because I wanted to read my book LOL what even. Also… historical moment because I started dancing to the videos with them. To KPOP!!!!

On Set of Anaconda (1997)
This photo was taken on the set of the film Anaconda (1997). It is an adventure-horror film, directed by Luis Llosa. It centers on a documentary film crew who have been taken hostage by a snake hunter who is going after the legendary giant anaconda, which is discovered in the Amazon rain forest. Although the film received negative reviews from critics, it was a box-office hit and was followed by a series of sequels and a crossover film with the Lake Placid franchise. The director Luis Llosa (left) and the actor Jon Voight (right) are seen here in this picture.

"Communication" with "The Criminal", my ex Katharine, was a one-way street: it was always "her way or the highway"
God help you if you ever disagreed with her. In the end, it turned out she had "communicated" her version of the life in our household to all her friends, a completely fictionalized, bastardized, and perversely profoundly twisted and false description of my behavior.
I have sought since 1994, in vain, for apologies from my former "friends" who came to hate me based on her testimony.
