No one was inside Traffic Jam & Snug at the time of the blaze and the restaurant was believed to be a total loss, according to fire officials. “Such sad news. The Cass Corridor institution ‘Traffic Jam and Snug Restaurant’ suffers a total loss fire,” White, a singer and songwriter wrote Friday on Instagram. “My heart and support goes out to them and their workers for this loss." The Detroit-born performer founded The White Stripes. He opened the Third Man Records store in 2015 and launched a vinyl record pressing plant there in 2017. The blaze did not spread to the record store, the Shinola store or other nearby businesses. Detroit Fire Community … [Read more...] about Blaze destroys landmark restaurant in Detroit’s Midtown

Ray Liotta delivered one of cinema’s greatest breakout performances
"Hi, baby. Surprise." Those were the first words most people heard Ray Liotta speak, in Jonathan Demme's 1986 road trip comedy "Something Wild." At least, it was a road trip comedy until that moment. During the preceding hour, Lulu, played by Melanie Griffith, and Charlie (Jeff Daniels) seemed to be embarking on an eccentric picaresque about mismatched lovers taking a zany car ride from Manhattan through Pennsylvania. When Liotta's character - Lulu's ex-husband, coincidentally named Ray - showed up, the emotional weather changed in an instant. Staring down Lulu and Charlie with ice-blue eyes, his muscles bulging alarmingly under a black T-shirt, Ray injected real menace into a quirky romance that turned murderously ugly the moment he appeared on screen. Who is that guy? viewers immediately wondered about Liotta, who died at 67 on Thursday in the Dominican Republic, where he was filming a movie. (The cause is still being investigated.) "Something Wild" wasn't Liotta's screen … [Read more...] about Ray Liotta delivered one of cinema’s greatest breakout performances

White House’s latest plan to forgive student debt drops amount significantly
WASHINGTON - White House officials are currently planning to cancel $10,000 in student debt per borrower, after months of internal deliberations over how to structure loan forgiveness for tens of millions of Americans, three people with knowledge of the matter said. President Biden had hoped to make the announcement as soon as this weekend at the University of Delaware commencement, the people said, but that timing has changed after the massacre Tuesday in Texas. The White House's latest plans called for limiting debt forgiveness to Americans who earned less than $150,000 in the previous year, or less than $300,000 for married couples filing jointly, two of the people said. It was unclear whether the administration will simultaneously require interest and payments to resume at the end of August, when the current pause is scheduled to lapse. The people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the deliberations, cautioned that some … [Read more...] about White House’s latest plan to forgive student debt drops amount significantly
Go Agile or Go Home: Why Agile Workflow Should Kill the Waterfall Process for Good
If software development comes into your mind when someone mentions agile workflows, you’re not alone. But agile methodology got its start not in computers, but in the post-WWII Japanese automotive industry . Edward Deming is known as the forefather of agile for developing lean strategies and giving Toyota’s line workers the power to halt the line and troubleshoot the root cause of problems. Since then, the iterative workflow characteristic of agile has proven itself superior to the traditional waterfall approach and is being applied more broadly beyond the technology space. Because agile practices allow companies to deliver products to clients or consumers in a consistently and with greater flexibility, businesses engaged in product development should embrace agile management practices throughout their entire organization.

Biden White House seeks to turn page on Trump, focus on legislative priorities
WASHINGTON — The end of former President Trump’s impeachment trial opens a new chapter for his successor in the White House. But while President Biden and his team are eager to move past the impeachment, the bitterly partisan tone of the proceedings underscores the deep challenges ahead as the president and his party try to push forward their agenda and address historic crises. Biden, who was at the Camp David presidential retreat when the Senate voted Saturday to acquit Trump, had acknowledged that Democrats needed to hold the former president responsible for the siege of the U.S. Capitol but did not welcome the way it distracted from his agenda. The trial ended with every Democrat and seven Republicans voting to convict Trump, but the 57-43 vote was far from the two-thirds threshold required for conviction. Whether the seven GOP votes against Trump offered Biden any new hope for bipartisan cooperation within Congress remained an open question. In a statement, Biden … [Read more...] about Biden White House seeks to turn page on Trump, focus on legislative priorities
