From the hard to believe news category comes this story from the Asbury Park Press, where an Ocean Township cop has been told she can't have light duty now that's she's pregnant.The officer in question, Sonia Henriquez, is a decorated officer, but the Ocean Police Chief Antonio Amodio Jr. says there aren't any "desk jobs" for her.And unfortunately for Henriquez, there isn't a policy on the books that dictates how to handle an officer's pregnancy. After all, there are only two women on the force, so who needs such a policy, right?What do you think? Be sure to comment after this post and to read the original story by clicking here.

Walk to work:When i saw constant inquiries coming in the site office of Megapolis, i started wondering why these people are so much interested in this new real estate project in Pune? If you see the location, it is far away from any point of Pune. Yes, but it is not exactly on the ranges of Sahyadri like Khandala. But as per the tradition of Kumar Properties of naming their projects with "P", they could have easily called it Kumar Pirangut! Then i looked outside the glass door and saw Tech Mahindra. Oh! Secret of the success of Megapolis is the concept of "Walk To Work". Just like Parnajape Schemes' Blue Ridge!Construction and BioTechnology:Then i remember, while coming to the site, i have seen some horticulture plastic sheds on the hill slopes above the site office of Megapolis.

The urban development ministry of the Central Government of India has asked state governments to permit a higher population density for housing projects. The move is aimed at bringing down property prices by allowing the creation of more housing units on every acre of land.In toady's Economic Times, Rajat Guha & Mayur Shekhar report that this is part of a series of initiatives that the urban development ministry has taken up for addressing the issue of affordable urban housing. For instance, the ministry has also asked state governments to allow more floor area ratio(FAR)) to the developers and relax height restrictions.If you remember, in Paranjape Schemes' advertorial, published on the day of launch (October 27, '07), Shrikant Paranjpe had talked about FSI.

No, i did not ask this question because from the day first phase is launched, i have heard people asking this question and the standard answer is 'after 6/8 months.'What i admire about Paranjape Schemes' is their staff.

Real estate giant DLF is soon to bag a residential Township project in Bangalore which will involve an investment of $10-12 billion. The project will come over a large area of 9,000 acres on the outskirts of the city. DLF has emerged as the only bidder for the project, informs an industry source.

Earlier, Pune real estate was seeing no appreciation but the scenario has suddenly changed. Thanks to the City Corporation Limited Promoted Amanora Township project, which has already begun fetching prospective investors. Even before the launch was formally announced, the project saw a multitude of investors lining up for bookings. The project boasts of selling off 50 apartments in a week at an average rate of 3,600 per sq ft. An apartment falling under the range of 1,200 sq ft – 3,900 sq ft. costs in between the range of Rs 50 lakh – Rs 1.5 crore. The construction of the first flat will not be over even 20 months from today. Amanora is a 16,000 apartment project, yet selling does not seem a major problem. The Township will feature its own infrastructure facilities including water, electricity, and other utility services, school, and hospitals.  Amanora is in progress to work out the agreement regarding this.

As the copy from the very complete and professional looking Westport website declares, the town is nestled in the heart of the Rideau Lakes. The airport however, operated by the Rideau Lakes Flying Club, is loacated in the Township of Rideau Lakes.Civic government organization aside, the strip is a worthwhile visit for the more experienced pilot, though not for a quick $100 burger. The COPA page has a fairly good plan view showing the distance from the airport entrance to the town, which front on Upper Rideau Lake just north of the airport.I was by there the other day with the video camera on board. The wind was strong and gusty, out of the west, so I did a quick low and over of runway 25. I didn't land because it is still early in the season, the grass could be soft and I hadn't called for a condition report. The video shows the approach over the lake and the trees off the end of 07.

According to John Loos, property economist for FNB's Commercial Property Finance division, retail purchasing power in townships does not pose a threat to CBD rejuvenation. According to Loos there is substantial purchasing power in townships for retailers to service, although admittedly it is not nearly as much as many of the wealthier former white suburbs. "What is of pivotal importance when examining the potential impact of the township retail migration is the distinction between a stagnating economic growth environment and an accelerating growth environment," he says. read more

Police Chief Harry Houdini?The police in the small town of Broken Springs, Michigan, as in other small towns, often search for missing persons. But it isn’t everyday they search for one of their own, let alone their own boss. However, ever since Police Chief Jim Kingston was named in three complaints filed by Broken Springs residents, he’s been harder to find than the criminals he once helped to catch.Township authorities, anxious to resolve the complaints as quickly as possible, reported earlier this week that Kingston has missed work most of last week and failed to show for the monthly police committee meeting, where the aforementioned complaints were to be discussed. Officially, he’s ill, according to those close to him. His wife even presented the Township Board with a handwritten note from home.But calls to his home are left unanswered. His mail (most notably his Lottery Digest and Hustler magazines) have yet to be picked up from his PO Box.* And the most haunting clue to h

Forget Britney and K-Fed… this is the real matrimonial meltdown After thirty five years of serious courting, the Broken Springs Village Council and the Onoyoko Township Board have decided to sever all ties. The divorce was finalized at Tuesday night's Township Board meeting, but the rocky relationship fell into the sewer many years ago. "It wasn't an easy decision," says Township Supervisor Ernie Hildecrust. "But I was getting tired the constant nagging and all of the arguments. Sure, the makeup sex was nice, but a healthy relationship needs love and respect as its foundation, not a box of Trojan XLs and a bottle of Viagra," added the feisty old coot. Sources close to the couple insist finances also played a factor in the split. "Every relationship is a learning experience," commented Township representative Bob Frugal. "This one taught me that the key to compatibility is separate bank accounts" Among the many disagreements between the two municipalities, the bi

If the electric company cuts down a tree in the township and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The Onoyoko township board certainly did Tuesday night, as they discussed the right to cut down trees with the community affairs official for IMP (Indiana Michigan Power). It wouldn't be going out on a limb to say that several council members are barking mad at the company's tree trimming and removal procedures. IMP's community affairs officer Harry Palms was caught off guard at the monthly meeting, as questions many residents and township council members threw his way left him looking stumped and a bit like a sap. He defended his company's program, insisting that careful tree trimming and removal is both necessary and crucial in serving over a hundred thousand customers who swamp the phone lines every time their microwave's clock needs to be reset. Citing an example of another such inconvenience, Palm explained, "We recently removed a tree whose roots had inte

Yesterday, managers at GM's Delta Township plant (Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia) sent workers home after a strike at Alliance Industries left them carpetless. Workers were told to report back to work this morning in case the parts were there. This morning, carpets were the least of GM's problems. The Detroit Free Press reports that UAW workers at Delta Township walked out on strike over the terms in their local contract. They had threatened to strike over the definition of "core" vs. a "non-core" job under the UAW-negotiated two-tier wage scale. It's too early to know what effect the walk-out will have or how long it'll last, but between this and the strikes against American Axle and Alliance Industry, the UAW is taking a big bite out of GM&
