Erin AndrewsVideos

Yes, that would be the same TMZ that has videographers scouring Hollywood trying to catch celebrities in the act of leaving a nightclub intoxicated, being with someone who is not their significant other or getting annoyed at the videographers trying to catch them getting annoyed.
Then there was the media Web site -- we're looking at you, New York Post -- that railed against the "peephole pervert" exploiting the "sideline siren," then posted that story alongside a slide show of images captured from the video, complete with black bars covering Andrews' naughty bits."Peephole Outrage," railed the Post's front-page headline, referring, I think, to the other people showing Andrews naked.

Beyond the heaping tablespoons of hypocrisy, though -- oh, and the fact that most sites still claiming to have the video will probably load malware onto your computer -- there's not much that's funny here. Andrews, a 31-year-old ESPN sports reporter who also happens to be slender, busty and, by most estimates, beautiful, was apparently filmed illicitly in two hotel rooms naked.
There's nothing extraordinary about what she's doing in the clips -- brushing her hair, ironing pants, checking her backside in the mirror -- but the fact that it is Andrews, lust object of a high percentage of young American men, has made the video into the Pamela Anderson tape of the moment.Plus, Andrews already has a lot of exactly the kind of attention the video is bringing. Her outfits have achieved legendary status -- Google "Erin Andrews ESPY Awards dress" -- and sports blogs grab any excuse to post a new picture. Rare is the Web site that has not run a photo gallery of the woman nicknamed "Erin Pageviews."

Other bloggers, though, felt remorse. On Deadspin, a leading sports blog that has been part of the Andrews celebratory chorus, blogger Will Leitch fretted that all the unfettered lust led directly to the grotesque privacy violation: "If I ran into her on the street today," he wrote, "I'm not sure I could look her in the eye. I'm not sure anybody could."

Cash For Clunkers Suspended

The new Government Cash for Clunkers Program 2009 is going to be a big boom for Martial Arts Schools across America with this particular rule that must be applied to all cars in the program.

Especially intriguing is the new Cash for Clunkers program's last-minute revision requiring car dealers to
"transfer the trade-in vehicle to a disposal facility that will crush or shred it so that it will never be returned to the road, although parts of the vehicle, other than the engine block and drive train (unless the drive train is sold in separate parts), may be sold."

That means that all the cars that have to be “driven” not pushed into the car dealers must be shredded or disposed of in such a way that they can never be used on the road again.

TSU spokeswoman Eva Pickens tells the Houston Chronicle at least three people were shot at the event hosted by Houston City Council member Peter Brown, who is running for mayor. Pickens says it’s unclear if any students were injured and there was no immediate word on conditions.

Lucinda Gwinn, who manages Brown’s mayoral campaign, said the concert by rapper Trae the Truth was organized by TSU, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Brown and other council members and officials to promote voter registration.

Houston police told KTRK-TV four people were shot at three locations within a block, one on campus and two off campus. Houston police spokesman John Cannon referred questions to university officials.

Pickens didn’t immediately return messages from The Associated Press.

Texas Southern is a historically black university in Houston with an enrollment approaching 10,000 students.

A ceiling collapse here rendered a section of City Hall impassable.
Still, the building stayed open — city government had nowhere else to go.
That’s not true anymore.
The old City Hall closed July 18, and work crews spent the weekend moving the city out of its worn, 48-year-old home.
The city was expected to reopen for business in a new, temporary City Hall on Tuesday. Government offices will be in part of the Redstone Building, 6100 219th St. SW, Suite 200.
The city has signed a five-year, $2.2 million lease for space in the building.
The lease began July 1. Mountlake Terrace City Council has been meeting in the new City Hall for all of July.
Since the ceiling collapse closed the old City Council Chambers, the council has met in multiple places. Sometimes they’ve crammed into a meeting room that had little room for spectators.
While the council has effectively moved already, city staff have been in transition for weeks, organizing and packing.

Diaz, a smooth-fielding shortstop, was batting .253 for the Double A Sea Dogs. Strickland, 20, was an 18th-round pick in the 2007 draft.

LaRoche, a 29-year-old six-year veteran, is an intriguing pickup for the Red Sox, who have struggled against righthanded pitching this season.

LaRoche is batting .247 with 12 homers and 40 RBIs this season, but he has never had a full-season adjusted OPS below 100, and he's one of the most notorious second-half hitters in baseball. His career OPS after the All-Star break is .901LaRoche has hit more than 20 homers in four of his five full seasons, with his career-high of 32 coming in 2006 while he was with the Atlanta Braves. LaRoche, the son of former pitcher Dave LaRoche, was in his third season with Pittsburgh.

Real estate or immovable property is a legal term (in some jurisdictions) that encompasses land along with anything permanently affixed to the land, such as buildings. Real estate (immovable property) is often considered synonymous with real property (also sometimes called realty), in contrast with personal property (also sometimes called chattel or personalty). However, for technical purposes, some people prefer to distinguish real estate, referring to the land and fixtures themselves, from real property, referring to ownership rights over real estate.
Emphyteusis is usually created for a term of 10 - 100 years. Although the emphyteusis lease resembles full ownership, it remains a leasehold interest; indeed, as is noted in the above extract of the Québec Civil Code, the tenant is called a emphyteutic lessee or, in some older references, the emphyteuta. When an emphyteutic lease ends, the owner regains real rights of usus, abusus, and fructus to the immovable.

Akin to a system of serfdom, this practice emerged in some South American colonies during the time of colonization. Based on Roman law, the Spanish preserved it and brought it to the colonies. Of Roman origin, the practice of emphyteusis appeared in the early empire and was initially granted by the state for agricultural purposes, or for building on land.The Law of Emphyteusis is a right, susceptible of assignment and of descent, charged on productive real estate, the right being coupled with the enjoyment of the property on condition of taking care of the estate and paying taxes, and sometimes the payment of a small rent.
