GIFFORD Â- Ozie Dillard, 85, just waited and waited in her chair in the sand along 43rd Street, as the sun beamed down. The hurricanes of 2004 toppled her large pecan tree, leveling the wooden home she and her husband moved into long ago, when the newlyweds left Georgia. The storm also destroyed the pictures of her deceased husband, who was a farm laborer. .
Dangerous Music, Inc. announced "D-Box" - a new multi-purpose hardware product for DAW users. The new unit was designed for the compact or mobile environment and the modern workflow of computer musicians and audio professionals on the go. "More and more records are being recorded and mixed in remote or temporary locations with mobile DAW rigs, and a lot of control room setups are tight," says Bob Muller, Dangerous Music's Founder and Co-owner. "From artist and industry feedback we have noticed a definite need for a high-quality multi-function product that is also compact and affordable to all DAW based musicians and engineers. In the D-Box we combine our signature analog summing section with what we feel are some other useful capabilities that we've developed in our other products, like the Monitor ST.
Now knowledge workers have a new option in the realm of enterprise document management. Altien Document Manager (ADM), a DM product that works across major Enterprise CMS platforms, now connects with the IBM WebSphere Information Integrator Content Edition (IICE) platform.

I am very pleased to be able to report that Group income in 2006 rose by a very healthy 14% to 425m. Of the 53m increase over the previous year, 41m resulted from organic growth, with the balance coming from six acquisitions, which I refer to later. The operating surplus, before charitable donations, was 30.0m (2005: 25.3m). After charitable donations of 6.1m (2005: 5.2m), operating profit was 23.9m (2005: 20.1m), giving an operating margin of 5.6% (2005: 5.4%). In the following paragraphs, I comment on trading in each of our businesses and on the non-trading elements of the profit and loss account. Marine revenue increased by 16%. Our share of the world fleet now stands at 18.1% in terms of gross tonnage, a similar position to a year ago.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Morgan Hunter Homes LLC, a LifeStyle Design Company, proudly presents the very best in modular homes in Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Located in historic Bucks County Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia, Morgan Hunter Homes offers a cost- effective alternative to the high priced McMansions. Upon the recent completion of morganhunterhomes.com, this new venture will focus on serving the home ownership needs of "first-time" home buyers and "empty nesters".

With the price of homes in the market skyrocketing out of the grasp of first-time home buyers, Morgan Hunter Homes has the answer with upscale modular construction.
BATON ROUGE (AP) - Modular, boxlike homes with add-on porches, changing roof designs and floor plans, and - most importantly - quick assembly. That's the idea behind grant proposals Louisiana submitted to federal officials to replace the cramped quarters of FEMA travel trailers for residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina and the victims of future disasters.The nation's five Gulf Coast states are competing for a pool of $400 million to test and build alternative housing for hurricane victims, a pilot program the Federal Emergency Management Agency hopes can become a model for how to provide fast, temporary or semi-permanent housing after the next tornado in Nebraska, earthquake in Hawaii or hurricane in Louisiana.''Louisiana wants housing for disaster victims. FEMA wants to look at options for future disasters,'' said Jeff Hebert, the Louisiana Recovery Authority's deputy director of planning who worked on the state's alternative housing grant proposal.
So they've got the fashionable double word thing going (cf. Man Man, Xiu Xiu, Talk Talk, Mr. Mister), but happy-footed New York quartet Gang Gang Dance take it to the next level, annexing a third word onto their rhythmic moniker, a third word that tells you precisely what you should be doing at their shows. What exactly is a Gang Gang Dance? Is it something Sharks and Jets engage in? Or shackled inmates de-littering the highways? Or "pre-adolescent, anthropomorphic animal characters"? Find out as Social Registry ravers Gang Gang Dance invite the arm-crossers of various North American metropolises to ditch those inhibitions for a night and hit the Gang Gang dancefloor on a spate of autumn shows. The shindigs, in support of last year's much-loved sophomore LP God's Money and the forthcoming Retina Riddim DVD, kick off tonight in Baltimore.
