"Don't mess with it," he said. |
Limbaugh's radio show is broadcast on more than 600 stations and is heard by more than 13.5 million listeners each week. |
Last year, he struck a deal with Clear Channel Communications to extend his contract through 2016. The deal is worth more than $400 million. |
Efforts move ahead to build a park on Union Street between Oak Knoll and El Molino avenues, two blocks north from the Pasadena Playhouse in the Playhouse District. |
Pasadena officials are planning to bulldoze a former bank building and up to half of a city parking lot to make way for a new downtown park. |
The City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to advance a plan to build a park on Union Street between Oak Knoll and El Molino avenues, two blocks north from the Pasadena Playhouse in the Playhouse District. |
City staff over the next year plan to conduct “robust” community outreach in order to reach consensus on a design before moving forward with construction, Public Works Director Ara Maloyan said. |
The move is part of the city’s efforts to create a park in its densest district and marks a move forward after several years of earlier community outreach. The central district, which includes the Playhouse area, is where the city has focused most of its new multifamily developments. But these neighborhoods have largel... |
The city in January 2018 purchased the former Banner Bank building at 717 E. Union St. for $3.15 million using residential impact fees, charged to developers of new buildings. That lot, combined with an adjacent city-owned parcel, will provide some 0.29 acres of park space. |
Adjacent to those two parcels and within the same block is the city’s 0.76-acre Union-El Molino lot. Officials say half of the lot’s 101 spaces are occupied at any one time and are eyeing a plan to replace up to 50 percent of the lot with green space to create a park as large as 0.67 acres. |
The parking lot is valued at $5 million. The city would need to transfer money to its parking account to cover the value of any parking spots that are removed, which would come from central district residential impact fees. |
Much of that money was collected during the construction of three condo complexes nearby that comprise 115 units. The homeowners associations of those buildings voted to support the city’s creation of a park, resident Deborah Dentler said. |
In her building, 12 children and 20 dogs would benefit greatly from nearby green space, she said. |
“I think this just shows we can put the residential impact fees to good use and we’re doing so here,” Councilwoman Margaret McAustin said. |
Local businesses are supportive of the effort too. |
“While there’s no perfect solution ever, usually, we think we have a really good start to one,” said Brian Wallace, executive director of the Playhouse District Association. |
The district, however, says it would like to see at least half of the Union-El Molino lot preserved and encouraged the city to explore parking enhancements in the area, such as using unused spaces in private garages for public parking. |

OK, I'll bite. I'm watching the umpteenth advertisement from a gold bug to buy his gold coins for my IRA, and I can store them at home (If you can't hold it, do you really own it?). |
How does that work? By what mechanism can I have my IRA in my house and not under the control of a third party, independent trustee? |
A banned driver who was caught behind the wheel of a car on the M1 motorway in Derbyshire has been spared from being sent to prison. |
Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on January 30 how Darryl Lewis Curtis, 36, was seen driving a Citroen C3 on a stretch of the M1 at Tibshelf and was stopped by police. |
Curtis, who has previous convictions, pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified. |
The probation service stated that Curtis has been doing very well on a current community order. |
Defence solicitor David Gittins said: “In terms of the offending it was a stop on the M1 and there was no suggestion of poor driving, speeding or weaving between traffic. |
Mr Gittins conceded that Curtis has extensive previous convictions but he is not someone who regularly commits traffic offences. |
He added that following the breakdown of a lengthy relationship in the Nottingham area he became homeless and eventually moved back to his mother’s address. |
However, most of Curtis’s support was in the Nottingham area which is where he was heading when he had been driving on the M1. |
Curtis, of Walling Road, Wincobank, Sheffield, has also been diagnosed with anxiety and a personality disorder, according to Mr Gittins, but he is now being supported in Sheffield and his mental health is stable. |
Mr Gittins added that jobless Curtis used to be a painter and decorator but he is hoping to get back to work and sending him into custody would be a backwards step after he has made good progress. |
Magistrates sentenced Curtis to a 12 month community order with 160 hours of unpaid work. |
He was also ordered to pay an £85 victim surcharge and £85 costs. |
Curtis was further banned from driving for 22 months. |
REVIEWING art from Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union used to be a dispiriting prospect. Wit and humor came in flashes against a sorry background of censorship. And the artists didn't have access to the best materials, so the work seemed makeshift. |
A sea change has occurred in recent years. Political freedoms came just as video and digital technology were being perfected and made widely available, and artists have taken to the new media like ducks to water. Three strong examples of the change are visible in ''Three Penny Exhibition,'' at the Mason Gross School of... |
The Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan is surrounded by mosques with glittering domes; the museum is given a colonnade of Islamic arches, some would say improving Frank Lloyd Wright's austere design.

T HE capacious, multi-roomed Mason Gross School of the Arts Galleries has a fat double bill. ''Three Penny Exhibition'' is accompanied by a related show, ''Not Only for Art's Sake!''

Most of the artists in residence make complex pieces for which one sheet doesn't suffice.

Other artists come from Russia, South Africa and New Jersey. Judith Brodsky, director of the Rutgers Center for Innovative Print and Paper, said she had no second thoughts about putting New Jersey artists in an international show. ''New Jersey is an international microcosm,'' she said. One of them was Miriam Beerman of... |

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — An American Airlines aircraft landed safely at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport despite a dramatic discharge of flames from one of the engines. |
American spokesman Ross Feinstein (FYN'-steen) says none of the 139 passengers and crew was injured when Flight 438 to Seattle returned to Dallas about 20 minutes after takeoff Wednesday night. |
A Federal Aviation Administration statement says the pilot reported an engine problem causing compressor stalls, which discharged flames from the back of the engine. |
Feinstein says the left-side engine of the Airbus 321 was not on fire, despite the flames, and that the engine remained operational as the aircraft landed. |
Bernice King previews the exhibit at the former Lorraine Motel, the site of her father's assassination 50 years ago in Memphis. |
MEMPHIS — Before she set foot in the new exhibit at the National Civil Rights Museum on Monday evening, the Rev. Bernice King had to prepare herself for another anniversary of her father's assassination, another visit to the site where it happened. |
"This is a very emotional time for me and my family," King told reporters before touring the exhibit "MLK50: A Legacy Remembered" as part of the observance of the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s murder at what was then the Lorraine Motel. |
But the anniversary and the new exhibit — which opens to the public Wednesday, exactly 50 years after the civil rights leader's death on April 4, 1968 — couldn't be more relevant, she said. |

Earlier in the afternoon, former U.S. attorney general Eric Holder toured the exhibit. As he walked toward the exit, one member of the extended Bailey family congratulated him on the work he did during the administration of former president Barack Obama. |

Could Bill Ford Jr. As Le Mans' Starter Confirm The Ford GT Is Coming? |
Sportscar365 just confirmed that Ford executive chairman Bill Ford Jr. will be the starter for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. So, what might he bring with him to Circuit de la Sarthe? We’re hoping it’s the new Ford GT race car. |
We desperately want to see the Ford GT in race trim, and a Motorsport.com report claims that Ford’s newest racer will be revealed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Of course, having Bill Ford Jr. wave the tri-color starting flag lends a bit more credibility to that report. |
The history of my family is very closely linked to the legendary La Sarthe circuit event. Fifty years ago, the duel with Ferrari out on the track became one of milestone periods in the history of motorsport. |
It’s a great honor to come to the Le Mans 24 Hours this year and drop the flag to start this legendary endurance race as my uncle [Henry Ford II] did back in 1966. |
1966, of course, is the year when the original Ford GT40 swept the podium, claiming a decisive 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans. It’s speculated that Ford is aiming for a 2016 return to Le Mans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that spectacular win, so all this talk of the ‘66 Ford GT certainly seems to suggest that Ford mig... |
While the FIA seemed to confirm that Ford was on the way to the World Endurance Championship (of which the 24 Hours of Le Mans is a part) earlier this year, Ford has yet to make an official announcement as to when they’re joining the series. |
We’ll have to pay close attention to all things Ford at Le Mans, that’s for sure. |

Wollongong council has voted to extend the city’s so-called alcohol-free zones for another four years, but deferred a decision on police “tip-out” powers at a new proposed area, Osborne Park. |
The zonings expire on September 30. Faced with the task of rubber-stamping renewals, councillors lingered over multiple peculiarities linked to the rules at their Monday meeting. |
The zones apply only to footpaths and roads within the designated area. |
Other areas – like parks – can be designated “alcohol prohibited areas”. There were 18 of these in Wollongong as of July 2016. |
No one can be fined or charged for drinking in either the zones or areas, but the status gives police the power to move on drinkers and tip out their booze. |
Addressing councillors’ questions on Monday, Wollongong detective inspector Brad Ainsworth said these were discretionary powers. |
Councillor David Brown noted public perception of the zones was at odds with reality. |
“The name does not reflect what we’ve heard today from the policeman about how they’re actually administered,” said Cr Brown. |
Prohibited zones include the centre of Helensburgh, a small section of Corrimal, Wollongong between Gladstone Avenue, Swan Street and George Hanley Drive, a few streets in Berkeley and Warrawong, a bigger section of Dapto and – bizarrely – Thirroul in its entirety. |
Councillor Mithra Cox made the case for postponing a decision to allow council to evaluate the success of the zones, in line with ministerial guidelines. |
But councillors voted simply to renew. This will come at a cost of up to $15,000, for new signs and installation costs. |
Council deferred its decision on whether to make Osborne Park a prohibited area, to allow the proposal another 28 days on public exhibition. |
RESIDENTS stormed out of a debate in protest at the way they say they were treated by councillors over the Kerbside Recycling Scheme amid chaotic scenes at Wyvern House on Thursday night. |
Residents from Knight's Grange in Winsford presented a 305-name petition to Vale Royal Borough Council ahead of a debate at Wyvern House about the switch to a fortnightly waste collection system. |
An earlier motion, lodged by the opposition Labour group and calling for changes to be made to the collection system, had been changed to one highlighting the council's 'marked improvement in performance on recycling' before councillors had the opportunity to vote on it. |
Outside the council chamber the residents told the Chronicle exactly what they thought of the waste collection policy - and of the way they were treated. |
Freda Harris, of Alundale Road, Winsford, organised the petition and said: 'What a waste of time, what was the point? |
'We are furious about the decision. How can the council say there is little opposition to it when I can get a petition going with 305 names on it, just from the Knight's Grange area? |
Frank Clarke, of Grange Lane, Winsford, said: 'No one is against recycling, but we want our rubbish collected every week. |
The United Nations court looking into the Rwandan genocide handed down a not guilty verdict for the first time on Thursday. |
Ignace Bagilishema, formerly mayor of Mabanza commune in western Rwanda, was accused of being instrumental in the murder of 45,000 Tutsis. |
The judges said that the prosecution failed to provide enough convincing evidence. |
The Rwandan Government said it is shocked by the acquittal of Mr Bagilishema, who it described as one of the most "notorious" criminals from the genocide. |
