AKRON, Ohio — When a bout with bronchitis left her speechless, an Ohio radio personality needed to restore her voice to save her career. For about six weeks after getting sick Thanksgiving weekend, WKDD-FM morning show co-host Jenn Ryan was unable to talk louder than a whisper. Her gravelly, inaudible voice forced her to take an extended leave from the on-air job she loves. But thanks to a tip from a listener that led her to a specialist at the Cleveland Clinic, Ryan has found her voice. She returned to the show last week, sounding like herself again. “I love what I do,” she said. “Truly, I can’t imagine doing anything else.” Ryan, 34, decided to pursue a career in broadcasting after graduating from Ohio State University. While working in a bridal shop and planning to go to graduate school, she heard a DJ on a Cleveland radio station one afternoon and thought, “I could do better than that.” Looking back, Ryan believes it should have been obvious her gift of gab would become her profession. “I was the kid in school who always on my report said, ‘Jenn talks too much in class,’” she recalled. After graduating from a local broadcasting school, Ryan worked for nine years at radio stations in Louisiana, California, Utah, Alabama and Illinois. About a year ago, she returned to her native Northeast Ohio to co-host WKDD’s morning show with Keith Kennedy. Ryan’s problems started the day after Thanksgiving, when she developed a nasty cough and lost her voice. Though she started feeling better soon after taking an antibiotic for bronchitis, her voice didn’t improve. “The rest of my body felt fine,” she said. An ear, nose and throat specialist prescribed a steroid to reduce swelling of her vocal folds, also known as the vocal [...]

Editor’s Note: This story appeared in the Feb. 9, 1992 version of the Naples Daily News. NAPLES — The 15th hole at The Vineyards Country Club is 535 moody yards with a mean streak. It was kind to Jimmy Powell on Sunday. And unforgiving to Lee Trevino. Because that’s where the $450,000 Aetna Challenge changed sides, Trevino hitting a bogey on the par-5 hole and Powell coming away with a birdie. The two-stroke switch gave Powell a one-stroke lead and three holes later, the $67,500 Aetna Challenge check and championship. And it dashed away Trevino’s hopes of winning the Senior PGA Tour event three years in a row. Powell, who went into Sunday’s final round at 12-under-par with a one-stroke lead over Trevino, lost the lead and won it back, finishing with a 65, four strokes ahead of the pack with a 54-hole total of 197, or 19-under-par. It tied him for the 54-hole all-time low score on the Senior PGA Tour. Sunday’s round included a 30 on the back nine for Powell, who birdied six of the final nine holes. Trevino shot a 68, finishing with a 15-under-par 201, good for second place and $39,000. George Archer and Charles Coody tied for third with scores of 203 ($29,750 each) while Jim Dent finished fifth with a 204 ($21,500). Bobby Nichols of Fort Myers tied for 22nd with a 210, while Chi Chi Rodriguez of Naples finished tied for 36th with a 214. “Nothing I could do,” said Trevino, who birdied four of the first five holes to take a one-stroke lead over Powell going into the back nine. “I put probably as much pressure on the guy as I could put on him in the beginning because I just kept birdieing. I came out and birdied one, birdied two, [...]

Posted on Friday, January 27th, 2012 by Angie Han Earlier this week, we reported on the apparent demise of the David Fincher-produced adaptation of Eric Powell‘s The Goon after star Paul Giamatti commented that the picture had run out of money. However, it now seems we were a bit too quick to give up on the long-gestating project. Powell has taken to his blog to address the issue, writing that “THE GOON FILM IS STILL ON THE TABLE,” and Giamatti and Fincher have since weighed in as well. Long story short, the film’s still got a great many steps to go before it hits theaters — but it’s still very much clinging onto life. Read more after the jump. Here are Powell’s words: David Fincher and Blur still have the option for the Goon film and are still actively looking for funding… It’s been a while since anyone spoke to Giamatti about the project and I guess he wasn’t kept in the loop as to what was going on. So zip up your fly, Internet. The Goon is in the exact same position it’s been in for the past couple of years. Prepping the design and script while searching for funding. I don’t have a role in acquiring the funding for the film, but I speak to Tim Miller at Blur, Fincher, and Mike Richardson with Dark Horse Entertainment every few weeks to get an update on the status. And last I spoke with Fincher and Miller they were gearing up for another round of meetings to try to acquire funding. We have to find the right people that get what we’re trying to do and will give us the budget we require. It’s going to take time when you’re dealing with a project like the Goon film. An animated (and [...]

Brent Hunter sure would like to have water from a Lake Powell pipeline for his Iron County users, but physics is working against him. Mike Noel wants some of that liquid gold for his folks in Kane County as well, and he has geography in his favor. The selling point in Kane: Kanab is only 100 miles away and sits at the “head of the stream” to snag its 10,000 acre-feet of water. The sticking point in Iron: Its allotment of 20,000 acre-feet would have to be pumped uphill to Cedar City, inflating the price. “We need the water in a bad way,” said Hunter, chairman of the Central Iron County Water Conservancy District. “We’re overdrawing our aquifer so options are simple, but we would need some help paying for it, maybe from Uncle Sam.” But pumping the water 50 miles north and 3,000 feet uphill could cost around $30 million a year, he said, on top of the $400 million the district would owe to be part of the pipeline. Besides, Hunter said, local support for the pipeline has softened under a new Cedar City Council. The new anti-pipeline sentiment even prompted the water district’s executive director to resign. Published Jan 27, 2012 06:01:02PM 1 Comments Published Jan 27, 2012 04:27:03PM 0 Comments Scott Wilson stepped down because he could not abide by the strict conservation measures that would be needed without the pipeline water. Users would have to cut back from 205 gallons a day to 67 gallons. “I’m not the guy to champion that banner,” Wilson said. Newly elected Cedar City Councilman Paul Cozzens worries that the $20 million a year required just to service debt on a pipeline could make the water too expensive and hinder growth. Even so, Cozzens, who was named to the Conservancy [...]
Read More >>Design style hooks local buyers
Architects and artists like to joke that design trends hit San Antonio about a decade late. So it’s just in time that midcentury modern homes and neighborhoods are starting to catch the eye of local homebuyers. The look has been popular for more than 10 years in many other places, especially on the West Coast. But the 1950s are having something of a moment culturally. There’s the popularity of TV shows such as “Mad Men.” And last summer, the McNay Art Museum held a popular exhibit on George Nelson, the midcentury architect and designer whose work such as the ball clock and the marshmallow sofa became iconic for the era. The exhibit was promoted at “Modernist Design from the Mad Men Era.” There’s also a new Central Texas chapter of Docomomo, the international group that advocates for the “documentation and conservation of buildings, sites and neighborhoods of the modern movement” in San Antonio and Austin. Real estate agents say that buyers of midcentury homes come in two categories: people in their 20s or 30s who are often drawn to the low-slung ranch style of the homes, or those who once lived in a neighborhood and want to find a home there again. “I think it’s the younger buyers, the ones who are watching ‘Mad Men,’” said Liz Chiego, a real estate agent with the Phyllis Browning Co. “Some people come back because they used to live in the neighborhood, but the younger people are excited about the architecture.” Ann Benson McGlone, an architectural consultant and the former historic preservation officer for the city of San Antonio, said that because the look is just starting to gain popularity in San Antonio, homebuyers can find homes in a variety of neighborhoods for good prices. Prices generally start in the low [...]

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) – Controversy continues to grow over Kansas City’s plans to tear down some east side homes to build a new crime lab and East Patrol substation. Ameena Powell bought her home five years ago. She has a $59,000 mortgage. But the city is only wanting to pay $55,000 to purchase her home at 26th Street and Brooklyn Avenue. “The offer doesn’t cover the mortgage,” she said. She said the city needs to come to the table with more money. She loves her home and doesn’t want to lose it. “It was built in 1895 and I love old homes,” she said. “It’s been a labor of love because it’s a beautiful house.” Kansas City wants to tear relocated more than 60 families between 26th and 27th Streets and Brooklyn Avenue to Prospect Avenue. Sean Demory, a spokesman for the city’s Capital Projects Department, said residents received offers based on the highest of three assessments of their property. “Occupancy, the amount of time a particular property has been owned by the resident or his or her family and the current mortgage amount are all included into that process,” Demory said. “City staff continue to work with impacted citizens in every way possible. We appreciate the concerns of the residents who will be relocated due to this project, and we are making every effort to work with them to find fair options that will meet their individual circumstances.” Powell says she is offended by the city’s lowball offer. “If they’re going to take my house and I’m not even getting my money for the house, that’s really offensive,” she said. “At this point, I don’t want to live in Kansas City. I grew up here and I don’t want to be here.” To read previous coverage, click here [...]

The Gloucester Crossing section of Beverly has gone through many changes over the years, but for the first time neighbors are praising the transformation of the area. The North Shore CDC is currently finishing up phase one of the two-phase affordable housing project on Mill Street called the Holcroft Park Homes. According to a press release, the project will serve as the largest rental housing development in Beverly in more than 30 years. On Friday, Jan. 20, the North Shore CDC hosted a Doughnuts for Delegates event in Beverly, allowing local politicians to tour one building of the Holcroft Park Homes project while discussing relevant housing and community development legislature. Inside the living room of a two-bedroom apartment on the third floor of 9 Mill St., Congressman John Tierney, state Rep. Jerry Parisella (D-Beverly), Jason Silva of the Beverly City Council, Bill Bates of state rep. Ted Speliotis’ office (D-Danvers), state Rep. John Keenan (D-Salem), Jimmy Cowdell of Senator Fred Berry’s office and Barbara Bishop of House Speaker Robert Deleo’s office sipped coffee, munched on breakfast items and admired the features of the dwelling. While walking through the spacious rooms of the apartments, Mickey Northcutt, executive director of the North Shore CDC — the organization responsible for the development — explained that “a lot of care and consideration went into the design” to ensure that the 58-unit development helps to revitalize the economically distressed neighborhood. So far, many folks have had good things to say about the project. “The development has received tremendous local support from the neighborhood, city and North Shore region,” Northcutt said. Anita Pitts, a resident of Mill Street for several decades, explained that when United Shoe factory workers inhabited the neighborhood, the streets were safe and the area was home to many families. Over the years, [...]

January 27, 2012 6:18 PM The Churn: Lateral Moves and Promotions in The Am Law 200 Posted by Sara Randazzo Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Sullivan continues to boost its nascent Washington, D.C., office, which opened last fall with a team of former Alston Bird lawyers in a move aimed at least play at putting the firm closer to the red-hot patent litigation venue that is the International Trade Commission. Quinn Emanuel announced this week that it has tapped WILLIAM BURCK, previously a partner with Weil, Gotshal Manges, to comanage the D.C. operation alongside Jon Corey. Burck, who will also work in New York, advises clients on white-collar criminal matters, often related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the False Claims Act, and Dodd-Frank Act regulations. Earlier in his career, Burck served as deputy counsel to former president George W. Bush during his years in the White House and also worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in New York City. Burck tells sibling publication The National Law Journal that the leadership skills he developed at the White House will be helpful in his new role at Quinn Emanuel. He also says that Washington is rapidly becoming the epicenter of global regulation and litigation. “D.C. is the capital of the government world,” he says. In other Churn news . . .

R. Allen Stanford, standing trial on allegations he led a $7 billion investment fraud, appeared in an October 2008 video shown to jurors in which he decried “damn greed” on Wall Street as the financial crisis deepened. “People are stupid, they’re greedy, they’re lazy, they don’t stick to their core values,” he told a gathering of Stanford Financial Group Co. executives in Miami. “We’re different.” In the video, shown yesterday in Houston federal court, the financier told his audience that the company was “$5.5 billion more liquid than it should have been.” Four months later, U.S. regulators filed suit claiming his businesses were missing billions of dollars in investor money. He was indicted in June 2009. Prosecutors accuse Stanford of skimming more than $1 billion in investor deposits from his Stanford International Bank Ltd. to fund a lavish lifestyle and support real estate developments and unrelated companies that included regional airlines and newspapers. Charged with mail fraud, wire fraud and obstructing a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probe, Stanford, 61, told jurors earlier this week that he wasn’t guilty. He faces as long as 20 years in prison if convicted on the most serious charges. U.S. District Judge David Hittner, who is overseeing Stanford’s case, said the trial, which began Jan. 23, may last six weeks. The video was played as Jason Green, former president of Stanford Group Co.’s private client group, testified against his ex-boss. Green told the jury of 10 men and five women, which includes three alternates, about a monthly newsletter Stanford drafted for his investors and sent to him for his input in December 2008, the same month New York money manager Bernard Madoff admitted to the biggest Ponzi scheme in U.S. history.

Read More >>Can St. George (and Utah) afford a Lake Powell pipeline?
St. George • Just turning on the faucet for the first time in a new home here in Utah’s corner of the Mojave Desert could cost more than $20,000 a generation from now. That’s not a worst-case scenario. It’s the plan. Washington County charges about $5,800 in impact fees for each new residence to cover water development that quenches growing demand in this retirement haven. The fees rise about 5 percent a year in anticipation of a planned $1.2 billion Lake Powell pipeline that Utah lawmakers will be asked this session to finance with statewide sales taxes. The impact fees are the primary device that the Washington County Water Conservancy District intends to use for repaying the proposed state loan, and the district expects them to exceed $20,000 by 2040 to cover the payments. “New growth’s going to pay for new growth,” said water district General Manager Ron Thompson, and he doesn’t see the gradual rise in tap fees as especially onerous, given a 50-year inflation average of 3.7 percent. Washington County is the biggest, but not only, envisioned pipeline user, and Thompson figures its share of the project is $800 million in present dollars. What if $20,000 doesn’t do the trick? If the county doesn’t resume and sustain its pre-recession growth trend, pipeline foes warn that home purchasers would be stuck with a much higher tab, and current residents would face steeper taxes and monthly water surcharges. Although some lawmakers in recent task force hearings have dismissed the naysayers as anti-growth environmentalists, these anti-pipeline forces are not alone: Some Washington County real estate developers worry the costs would choke the quality of life.

View full sizeLynn Ischay, The Plain DealerWith 23 recruits having given oral commitments to Ohio State, Urban Meyer is currently at the school’s scholarship limit of 82. But the Buckeyes continue to pursue additional recruits, which means something will have to change on the roster to accommodate them. COLUMBUS, Ohio — The magic number for Urban Meyer right now is 82. As Ohio State’s first-year head coach finalizes the equation for his first recruiting class, creating a roster that will include 82 scholarship players, three under the normal limit because of NCAA sanctions, the Big Ten may ask the Buckeyes to show their work. National Signing Day is Wednesday, with the Buckeyes currently holding 23 oral commitments for the Class of 2012. (Rules limit classes to 25 players, though the Big Ten allows teams to oversign by three, to 28 players, if overall roster space allows. Ohio State can also count some of the 2012 recruits that already enrolled in January with last year’s class, freeing up more space.) Ohio State is also in the running for several other recruits who could raise that number, including Cleveland Heights offensive lineman Kyle Dodson. There are unofficially 59 players on the current roster, if backup fullback David Durham, who has declared his intent to transfer, is removed. This math is pretty easy — 59 plus 23 equals 82. So for every recruit the Buckeyes sign over 23 on Wednesday, another player on the current roster must depart. That’s true for every school in the Big Ten, though the other programs are working with 85 — the Buckeyes were penalized three scholarships per season over the next three years in a decision announced by the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions in December. Roster management is an issue for every coach, but the reduction to [...]

While working in a bridal shop and planning to go to graduate school, she heard a DJ on a Cleveland radio station one afternoon and thought, “I could do better than that.” Looking back, Ryan believes it should have been obvious her gift of gab would become her profession. “I was the kid in school who always on my report said, ‘Jenn talks too much in class,’” she recalled. After graduating from a local broadcasting school, Ryan worked for nine years at radio stations in Louisiana, California, Utah, Alabama and Illinois.

E-mail this page Print this page Larger type Smaller type By Sean McClelland, Staff Writer 11:06 PM Thursday, January 26, 2012 Tom Browning has no intention of acting like a drill sergeant in taking over as Dayton Dragons pitching coach from Tony Fossas, who has been assigned to rookie-level Billings (Mont.). Although perfect once himself, he won’t expect his charges to be. “I’m really laid back,†Browning said Thursday at the Cincinnati Reds’ winter caravan stop at Fifth Third Field. “My job, in my opinion, is to kind of pick them up when they fall and keep them level-headed when they’re going good. “I really enjoy watching these kids kind of figure it out on their own.†Dayton’s roster won’t be set until late March, but Browning — who pitched the 12th perfect game in major-league history for the Reds in 1988 — already knows some of his pitchers. He’s spent the past two seasons working with prospects in Arizona as they entered the Reds’ system. “I hate to see him leave the young guys in Arizona because he was so good there,†Reds GM Walt Jocketty said. “But he deserves to move up.†No promises: With limited roster turnover last season, Dayton won a franchise-record 83 games and made the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Jocketty was noncommittal as to whether such stability might now be the norm. “We thought it was important (last year),†he said. “We had young guys who needed to stay at this level, but we also thought it was important to try and put our best effort into winning. This is a great franchise for us. We want to continue to provide a good product here.†Rude awakening: Outfielder Ryan LaMarre, a second-round draft pick from Michigan who played for the Dragons [...]

By Thomas Gerbasi Finally. After 28 fights and nearly nine years as a professional, Sechew Powell had his world title shot. All he had to do was beat someone he had previously knocked out in 22 seconds, Cornelius Bundrage, in fight number 29. It didn’t happen. At the Family Arena in Saint Charles, Missouri last June, Bundrage evened the score with the Brooklynite, retaining his IBF junior middleweight title via unanimous decision. Powell, 32, now had to take a good, hard look in the mirror and figure out whether he wanted to take another stab at his dream, even though the first one took him almost a decade. He did. “Deep down, as much as I knew it was a major setback, when I woke up the next morning, the passion was still there,†Powell told BoxingScene. “It was more of a thing like ‘Sechew, you just made this thing a whole lot harder for yourself.’ (Laughs) But again, this is a lifelong goal and dream I’ve had. I was a few miles away, and now the location just moved a couple hundred miles away, and I knew that. But I still wanted to go after it.†Little did he know that he would wind up back in Missouri just seven months later, facing former two-division champ Cory Spinks in an IBF title eliminator tomorrow night in Springfield. It’s a dose of good fortune for a young man who always had plenty of talent, but not as much good luck. That’s not to say that he didn’t have his chances, but key losses at the wrong times to Kassim Ouma and Deandre Latimore put him in a position where he was often waiting more than fighting. After competing in three bouts in 2008, Powell only fought once each in 2009, [...]

Associated Press NEW YORK — Asafa Powell, once the world’s fastest man, wasn’t setting any perfect attendance records at practice. “Over the years I’ve been kind of lazy, thinking my talent alone can do it,” he said Thursday. “This year, I’m trying something new.” Like not missing any workouts in what the Jamaican sprint star called “a very serious year.” He turns 30 in November, a few months after the London Games, which he’s treating as his final Olympics. “My age is moving as fast as me,” Powell said with a laugh at a news conference across the street from Madison Square Garden, where he’ll try something else new Saturday. For the first time since 2004, Powell is racing during the indoor season. “I’ve been doing something for many years and it’s not working,” he said. Even though he held the 100-meter world record from 2005-08, Powell has never won a major individual title. Injuries and subpar performances on the biggest stages have left a career for now known more for what he hasn’t accomplished than what he has. So this weekend, Powell will run the 50 meters at the U.S. Open, hoping that indoor races are an ingredient in that elusive championship formula. Powell set the world record of 9.77 seconds in June 2005 and lowered it to 9.74 two years later. Then came a streak of lightning in countryman Usain Bolt, who shattered all expectations for the sport. Bolt first broke the mark a few miles from the Garden in May 2008 and has since lowered it to 9.58 with dominating gold medal performances at the 2008 Olympics and 2009 world championships. Powell, meanwhile, had to settle for bronze at worlds in 2007 and ’09. He was fifth at the Beijing Games. But last year, he seemed poised [...]
