| New Outlet Mall Planned In Monroe Area
Traders World and the Turtlecreek Township Flea Market are expected to have a new, "upscale" neighbor move in next door. Groundbreaking is planned this spring for a new outlet mall off of I-75 in the Monroe area. Plans for the "upscale" Cincinnati Premium Outlet shopping center target the fields southeast of the I-75 and State Route 63 interchange in Warren County. The partially-enclosed mall, which would be operated by the Chelsea Property Group, is expected to open in 2009. Prospective tenants among the 120 stores include Polo, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Crate & Barrel and J. Crew. No word though yet on whether a casino will be built next door anytime soon -- or how traffic will be handled. .
Terror gear 'found at man's house'
Details of a haul of terrorist equipment found at the home of an Islamist fanatic who plotted to kill a British soldier have been revealed. After Parviz Khan, 37, was arrested at his house in Alum Rock, Birmingham, police found a wealth of items in rooms throughout the property which was ready to be shipped to Pakistan, Leicester Crown Court was told. In the hallway and living room, officers found signal detectors, binoculars, a hunting catalogue, heavy duty rubber gloves and a variety of torches. A Sony camcorder, allegedly ordered by Khan's terrorist contacts in Pakistan to film their attacks on coalition forces, was also found. Police found five packs of marksman kneepads in kitchen cupboards. On the floor of the bathroom, they discovered a camping gas stove.
Liberty likes TicketMaster look
In the clash of media titans, conventional wisdom has been that John Malone will acquire Home Shopping Network from Barry Diller. There may be another part of Diller's IAC/InterActiveCorp that Liberty Media eyes for its portfolio: TicketMaster. Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei told the UBS Global Media & Communications Conference in New York on Monday that TicketMaster "is a great business, and at the right number, sure, we would be interested in that business." It could provide synergies with DirecTV, which Liberty Media will soon control thanks to a deal with Rupert Murdoch. Maffei's commentary on IAC's businesses is not just idle chatter. Diller announced Nov. 5 that he would separate IAC into five companies in order to unlock shareholder value. His biggest shareholder is Liberty Media, with a 24.1 percent stake, and Malone, Liberty's chairman and major stockholder, is seeking that value, negotiating with Diller over what he'll take to green-light the split-up.

Other Fug Fixes
Leaving aside for a second the temperature in Utah right now, I don't understand why Bijou Phillips would pair a floaty, flirty peach nightie... ... with heavy black tights and shoes that someone's Granny Hazel wears at the retirement palace on Meatloaf/Meat Loaf night (room and board = a fortune; chowing down on slabs of ground beef and then dancing cheek-to-cheek to "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" with the dude her girlfriends call Liver-Spots Pete = priceless). But also, you can't totally ignore the weather, because she's at Sundance and it's been something like 25 degrees (or -4, for you Celsius lovebirds out there). It seems unfair to the rest of her that her ankles and toes are the only things receiving extra consideration for the fact that it is not summer, she is not in L.A., and she is not ninety and sleepwalking.
Favoring stores, Dell closes mall kiosks
Dell Inc., which has been pushing its computers into more retail stores, said Wednesday it will close its 140 shopping mall kiosks in the United States. Dell now sells computers and other devices in more than 10,000 stores around the world, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Best Buy Co. The kiosks, where customers could place orders for delivery, may be losing some of their novelty. Tony Weiss, the vice president of Dell's global consumer business, said closing the kiosks "fits in with how our broad global retail strategy is evolving." Dell began opening the kiosks in 2002 to boost sales of notebook computers, which didn't fit as well within the company's practice of selling directly to customers over the Internet and by phone. More than other customers, people considering notebooks wanted to see and feel the machines before buying them.
