| Holiday guidelines gain attention of Fox pundit O'Reilly
Fort Collins' proposed municipal holiday decoration policy got some not-too-flattering national attention on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" on Thursday night. "A town in Colorado has set up a 'no-Christmas' unit," host Bill O'Reilly said in a "tease" at the beginning of his show, though nothing later in the show involved a similar description of the city's 15-member Holiday Display Task Force. .
Modern fans are not immune to the old diseases
If we have any sense, we also realise that complacency is the enemy of everyone's security. History is always repeated. Did football truly kick out racism? Only in some places, some of the time. Is hooliganism a thing of the past? After last week, only an idiot would cling to that forlorn hope. .
For gal pals escape, Vegas is never a toss of the dice

When the vehicle reached near the main entry gate of the park, it was signalled to stop by the officers. However, the culprits tried to flee but were obstructed with barricades. With no choice, the three youths in the car left the vehicle and started running. Two of them were armed with a rifle and a countrymade pistol. SI Gagan Bhaskar and HC Rishi Yadav put their life in danger and chased them down. Giving information in this regard, Robin Hibu, DCP, West District, said, Thankfully the accused did not fire the shots. But the officers showed exemplary courage in tracking down the armed accused. According to Robin, the trio were responsible for five cases of robbery in his district.
Harwood turned up the heat on Uptown
Developer Harwood International was hot on Uptown before Uptown was hot. When Harwood International began planning its six-story Rolex Building – which was built in 1982 – much of the neighborhood was made up of old houses, car lots and aging industrial buildings. The Crescent was still in the making. Since then, Harwood International has built three more office buildings in Uptown. And the builder is finishing work on its 31-story Azure condominium tower, which opens late this month. The Dallas-based developer recently broke ground on its newest office high-rise – Saint Ann Court. But after more than two decades of construction, Harwood International is just getting started in Uptown. The company recently named its 17-block development Harwood, Dallas.
Clearer vision for Aquia Towne Center
The Aquia Towne Center is being changed from a bleak strip mall into a chic, pedestrian-friendly shopping center with a new addition: residential units. The shopping mall, which will be renamed the Towne Center of Aquia, will include an apartment complex. On Thursday the Stafford County Planning Commission considered a proposal to rezone the center into a Planned Traditional Neighborhood Development zoning district. A PTND is a new zoning category for mixed-use developments that include residential and commercial uses. Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, a Farmington Hills, Mich.-based developer, owns and manages the strip mall on U.S. 1. The company's executives gave planners a better idea of the center's residential components.

I don't know how families get through this," said Patty Jett, Monschke's mother. She and other family members had been expecting him to return home by Christmas. "He excelled at everything," said Larry Monschke, the soldier's father. "I'm just proud. That's all I can say." The news came to Justin's father and stepmother on Sunday. Justin's brother Jarett raced ahead to his mother so she wouldn't hear it from strangers. "Jarett came to tell me, and he couldn't get it out," Jett recalled. "I knew from his face. And I just started screaming—a mother is not supposed to bury her son." Jett said she's known since Justin was a boy that he wanted to be a soldier. You can see it in his senior picture from Krum High School. A week after graduation, he was gone to join the Army.
