A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and one of VH1’s top 100 female vocalists\, Staples today is as strong as ever. Her electrifying live show has her joined by her sister and backed by a stripped-down blistering three piece band \, wooing both diehard fans and young new converts alike. She’s released 2 critically acclaimed CDs in 2 years and with her upcoming appearance at the Kennedy Center after rave reviews of her performance at the Newport Folk Festival this past summer\, the legendary singer is showing that she’s still in demand\, and still in serious fighting form. Just when we need her most. Staples’ performance in Ann Arbor kicks off a 5-day series of fundraising events for Avalon Housing\, Inc. highlighting the urgent need for affordable housing in Washtenaw County. Avalon Housing (www.avalonhousing.org) was created in 1992 to develop and manage permanent affordable housing with support for people with very low incomes or who are homeless or who have disabilities.

The state of Michigan is building a new industry to rival Hollywood - from creating cars to creating stars. The state offers the biggest film incentives in the nation\, up to a 42% tax break for films produced in the state. The trailblazing incentives are working. Last year over 35 movies were made in Michigan\, generating approximately $120 million in revenue for the state. Nearly $60 million went directly to Michigan residents who worked on those films. We've assembled an illustrious panel of Michigan film industry people\, including: * Jim Burnstein - head of Screenwriting at University of Michigan and a main architect of Michigan's tax incentives for the film industry. Appointed to the board of the state Michigan Film Office Advisory Council. * Chris Aliapoulios - a Ford executive for 20 years who left his job when he saw a growing business opportunity. He is the Founder and Editor of Michigan Movie Magazine\, a bi-monthly publication devoted exclusively to the growing Michigan film making industry. * Tina Heaton - local Detroit-area freelance / independent PR professional who was hired as the publicist for "Youth in Revolt"\, a feature film partially filmed in Ann Arbor. We've also selected an esteemed moderator to oversee the panel discussion: * Ron Dewey - 20-year veteran reporter from WWJ 950 Newsradio with an interest in the subject matter. REGISTER NOW!

Drawn from Simon's new book\, this lecture will explore the larger meaning of Starbucks--what the smiling baristas\, venti mocha frappuccinos\, overstuffed chairs\, and Paul McCartney CDs tell us about America at this troubling and uncertain junction in the nation's history. And also what our drink choices tell us about ourselves\, our communities\, our environment\, and our everyday practice of politics on the branded consumer landscape of modern America. Simon visited more than 450 Starbucks stores in 10 countries during five years of research for EVERYTHING BUT THE COFFEE. His book asks: Why did Starbucks take hold so quickly with consumers? What did it seem to provide over and above a decent cup of coffee? Why at the moment of Starbucks' profit-generating peak did the company lose its way\, leaving observers baffled about how it might regain its customers and its cultural significance? EVERYTHING BUT THE COFFEE probes the company's psychological\, emotional\, political\, and sociological power to discover how Starbucks' explosive success and rapid deflation exemplify American culture at this historical moment. Most important\, the book shows that Starbucks speaks to a deeply felt American need for predictability and class standing\, community and authenticity\, revealing that Starbucks' appeal lies not in the product it sells but in the easily consumed identity it offers.

Her father\, who passed away when she was only a year old\, was the leading figure in the world of research into and preservation of the Judeo-Spanish culture\, dating back to the 15th century in Spain. Today\, it remains one of the most moving and romantic traditions of all time. In her deep\, spiritual\, and moving style of singing\, Yasmin preserves and revives the beautiful songs from the Ladino/Judeo-Spanish heritage\, mixing it with Andalucian Flamenco. This US debut tour follows her highly acclaimed appearances at the World Music Expo (WOMEX) and at World of Music\, Arts\, and Dance (WOMAD) festivals throughout the world. “[Yasmin Levy’s CD] Mano Suave blends her mixture of flamenco\, Middle Eastern\, Mediterranean\, and Sephardic Jewish Ladino traditions to somewhere near perfection. If you’re looking to plunge into a deep pool of exquisite yearning and heartbreak\, then just dust off your trunks and dive right in.” (fRootsmag.com) Presented by the University Musical Society\, www.ums.org.

Fifth Ave. in Ann Arbor. In August 2007\, City Council charged the Malletts Creek Coordinating Committee with prioritizing and implementing the April 2007 Watershed Recommendations of the Malletts Creek Association (citizens group) in resolution R-393-8-07. This proposed code change is a result of those recommendations. The code amendment would require control of stormwater runoff\, from the “first flush” storm event\, on single and two-family residential property when adding 200 square feet or more of impervious area. The “first flush” is the runoff from the first ½ inch of rain during any storm event. The new requirement would only apply to the increase in impervious area. Since approximately 40 percent of the entire land area in the City of Ann Arbor is zoned for single-family and two-family uses\, the potential to reduce the negative impacts of stormwater runoff for the entire community is great compared to the minimal effort envisioned for property owners. Please consider attending this meeting if you are interested in stormwater management or are concerned about the implications of this potential code change. If you have any questions\, please contact Stormwater and Floodplain Programs Coordinator\, Jerry Hancock\, at (734) 794-6430 ext. 43709.
