What's better: A Coliseum replacement or a facelift?
Jeremy M. Lazarus | 5/10/2019, 6 a.m.
Richmond Coliseum
Here's the choice: Spend $25 million to $35 million to revitalize the 13,500-seat Richmond Coliseum or spend $220 million to replace it with a brand new 17,500-seat facility and add another $20 million to $30 million to revamp East Clay and East Leigh streets.
That choice has never been presented to the public. Instead, Mayor Levar M. Stoney and his predecessor, former Mayor Dwight C. Jones, have insisted that the only solution is a new arena.
Indeed, the working assumption on the part of city officials is that the Coliseum has outlived its useful life.
But both city and internal studies have long indicated that the neglected Coliseum, built in 1971, just needs significant work to remain usable for years to come.
That was the finding of the most substantial study on the building's needs that was conducted in 2008.
Richmond-based SMBW Architects PC undertook the study for the city with help from two other expert building consulting firms, WJE of Fairfax and HCYU and Associates of Glen Allen. The three companies had experts examine the building and come up with recommendations for refurbishing the arena.
The bottom line: The Coliseum needed maintenance, repair and replacement of gutters and other internal and external items, but remained "a substantial and serviceable building whose original character and quality are still intact."
The study estimated that more than $11 million in work was needed to extend the building's life for 10 years or longer. But like other studies on the condition of city buildings, it ended up being shelved for lack of money.
As far as can be determined, no similar assessment has been authorized or conducted since then.
Between 2011 and 2015, the city allocated about $4 million primarily to replace plumbing so the building could have hot and cold running water and working mechanical systems. There is no indication that other work recommended by the study was ever done.
In his proposed 2015-16 capital budget, then-Mayor Jones estimated that the Coliseum needed about $30 million in improvements. However, he did not recommend any additional spending on the building. The Coliseum has not been mentioned in any subsequent capital budget.
Until recently, no one in city government had a good idea about how to pay for improvements to the building given the host of other needs the city has faced.
That issue has been resolved by the Navy Hill group led by Dominion Energy's top executive, Thomas F. "Tom" Farrell II.
That group noticed the vacant and underused public land near the Coliseum and, with the help of consultants, came up with the idea two years ago of transforming the area between City Hall and the Coliseum with new apartments, offices, retail stores and a convention hotel.
The group's theory was that these new developments, rosily projected to create $1.4 billion in new property value, would enliven the area and also generate tax dollars to pay for the larger, grander arena that was envisioned.
The problem for Mr. Farrell's group is that their plan did not generate enough tax dollars to pay back the $220 million principal and interest cost of a new 17,500-seat arena.

Redrafting the Spurs of the 2000s – Part Two
Benjamin Bornstein
The San Antonio Spurs have made some pretty great picks in previous NBA Drafts. They've hit on some diamonds in the rough and have taken some obviously great players when possible. We're going to take a trip down memory lane and re-draft for the Spurs from 2000 to 2009, specifically in the 2005 to 2009 range for this edition as 2000 to 2004 was last week.
The major factors that will be taken into account are: position of need, who was still on the board for their pick (we are not doing a total re-draft, so no assumptions elsewhere), and that the picks made in each hypothetical re-draft do not carry over to each season. That would make things entirely too complicated. We will tip things off with the 2005 draft.
Ian Mahinmi (pick No. 28) – Mahinmi was a solid backup for most of his career and even played some decent minutes for the Spurs. However, if the Spurs had chosen David Lee (who went two picks later), they would have had their young and athletic forward to replace David Robinson. While Rasho Nesterovic, Nazr Mohammed and Fabricio Oberto were on the team, Lee could have carved out some time. His ability to shoot in the mid-range and take some guys off the dribble would have been perfect and the Spurs would have gotten him in the prime years of his career.
Damir Markota (pick No. 59) – This pick would end up getting traded to Milwaukee and he only played in the league for one season. However, if the Spurs had kept the pick they could have drafted C.J. Watson as a solid backup point guard option. Jacque Vaughn was transitioning to his bench coach role at that point and Beno Udrih would end up in Sacramento the next season. Watson could run the second-unit offense and was a solid threat from beyond the arc as well.
Tiago Splitter (pick No. 28) – This is obviously another case where I would not re-draft given the choice. Since we are going to do exactly that, the pick here would now be Carl Landry. He would have been on the team immediately — instead of three years later — and could have given the team a big man presence they could use despite having so many on the roster at the time. He could have taken some minutes from Francisco Elson or rookie Ian Mahinmi.
Marcus Williams (pick No. 33) – This might be one of the best value pick redrafts in this collection as the new pick would be Marc Gasol who went 48th overall in this draft. Pairing him with Tim Duncan and keeping a similar timeline on his development and weight loss would have kept this team a defensive nightmare for years to come. It would have been the second coming of the Twin Towers in San Antonio and period of prosperity other teams dream about at night.
Giorgos Printezis (pick No. 58) – This pick never made his way to the states to play in the NBA so there's really no wrong redraft here. Having said that, the Spurs could have drafted a guy they ended up stealing anyway in Gary Neal. He could have developed his game in Austin and made his way up the ranks rather than playing overseas and eventually signing with the Spurs in 2010.
George Hill (pick No. 26) – This is another pick that I would rather not change, especially since it ultimately netted Kawhi Leonard. However, the new pick here in this exercise is going to be DeAndre Jordan. He could have been an excellent defensive big to pair with Tim Duncan and an awesome lob target for Tony Parker in the offense.
Goran Dragic (pick No. 45) –This pick was traded to Phoenix, unfortunately. Had the Spurs kept it they could have had Parker's backup since George Hill wouldn't have been there in this hypothetical situation. However, if they kept it and picked Sundiata Gaines (originally undrafted), he could have been serviceable backup. He played that role for the three seasons he was in the league. (There were clearly some slim pickings at the end of this draft)
James Gist (pick No. 57) – Here is a player who did not make it to the league either and the Spurs would have been better served picking the likes of an undrafted Timofey Mozgov. He played in the league for eight seasons and won a championship with the Cavaliers in 2016. He had three seasons of averaging a block or better and would have been fine coming off the bench down the road when he eventually made his way over to the states.
Dejuan Blair (pick No. 37) – This was a fine pick at the time and isn't looked upon too unfavorably in hindsight. However, there was a two-time All-Defensive player who was drafted after him in Patrick Beverley. He could have backed up George Hill until he was traded and then taken over the second unit entirely or played alongside Parker to save him for offense.
Jack McClinton (pick No. 51) – Yet another pick that didn't pan out. However, the Spurs can take Patty Mills this time around and have a fan-favorite player from the very beginning of his career. He would have backed up George Hill and Tony Parker along with Beverley and they could have been a formidable duo with their offense-defense 1-2 punch.
Nando De Colo (pick No. 53) – De Colo ended up winning a ring with the Spurs, but he didn't stick around in the league much longer after that. A better development pick would have been to take Joe Ingles who could give the team the spacing they needed as a driver and reliable shooter. He didn't come over to the NBA until 2014, but the wait would have been worth it.
Stay tuned next week as we dive into the 90s where I will inevitably take flak for redrafting Tim Duncan.

A few weeks ago we reported on the Chancellor's Budget and what impact this had for business world.
The Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) has now published its final impact assessment on the Work and Families (Increase of Maximum Amount) Order 2009.
The current maximum amount of a week's pay (for calculating redundancy payments) is capped at £350. From 1 October 2009, the maximum weekly pay (for calculating redundancy payments) will be £380.
The Government has stated that the limit will not rise again until February 2011. You can read the final impact assessment by clicking here.
The Government has also stated that they will be making attempts to ensure that businesses will be aware of the changes 12 weeks in advance of 1 October 2009, which will involve updating permanent websites, including the statutory redundancy pay calculator, and replacing of information leaflets.


What was it that she shall not want.
However she then experienced a couple of coincidences (situations, I suppose) which explained the verse to her and she grasped the meaning behind it.
When she posted about such coincidences, I felt a gentle prompting that they weren't coincidences.
I was reminded of one of the fundamentals that I was taught as a believer is that there are no coincidences.
What my sister experienced was not a coincidence.
Because God has a plan for each and everyone of us.


Annecy Cinema Italien 2003: Prize : "Mise en scene 2003"
A summer and winter weekend are intertwined in a series of flashbacks, which talk about the past (the summer) and the present (the winter) of five friends: Claudia, Andrea, Edoardo, Carola and Gianmaria.
Through the comparison of the characters, it becomes possible to live together in a place which is very important for them, the dreams and the unfulfilled desires, with memories linked to days spent in the house. A series of events makes this final weekend very decisive for the lives of every one of them.


Compensator for 9mm minor - Open Pistols - Brian Enos's Forums... Maku mozo!
I'm currently looking at building a 2011 for 3 gun. I've been looking at different comps and they all seem to be based on major loads.
Ive seen a lot of support for the Binary Engineering Compensator, and just saw they have a "cut down" model with one less port.
Would this be be a good option? Or is there another compensator the hive mind would recommend?
Again this is specifically for a 3 gun only dedicated minor 2011, please don't tell me to shoot major or to build it for both.
you don't need a comp for minor. are you slide mounting a dot?
is there another compensator the hive mind would recommend?
I've been looking for info on minor comps and it has been hard to find.
Any specific links that would be good?
Can I have a link to a thread about your comp? I tried searching your name and apparently you post a ton and I couldn't find it ha.
The two port comps work great for 9 minor.
While you're searching look for "steel challenge guns" you'll see lots of comps on guns designed for minor.
Comps help with minor. I played with my tanfo, with the major comp, minor comp bbl and with a Stk 2 bbl in it all with the same loads and same cmore on it.
The minor comp worked really well and was very noticeable compared to the stock 2 bbl w/o a comp.
EGW makes some two port comps.
Though I very seldom, if ever recommend anything from sti, their two port comp (trubor bbl) works well for minor.
all this open guns shoot minor 137-140 pf standard ammo in my country. we don't use 9 major.
Location:Just can't get out of the sandbox!
+1 - I have one of his comps also.
I have one of Eric is also. Very happy with it. I haven't tried shooting minor out of it yet though. I have a few hundred rounds of hotish minor loaded up (7g hs-6 115g). I'll have to give it a try with a 7lb spring and report back. It's a good comp so I imagine it'll shoot well.
I experimented for awhile with Minor compensators, due to the fact we rarely use major loads or 38c here, but the best results are 2-3 port ones as posted here before. Majority of large 3-4 ports one and up will kill the power factor.
You can also consider hybrid holes.
S&J Customs does both major and minor comps. I have both. The minor version works well.
This is a comp I found that I thought about using on a threaded barrel and slide ride optic for 9minor open in steel challenge. They will bore it to the diameter you request as well. Not many direct thread comps for standard threads out there. Most minor comps seem to be 2 ports from what I have seen.
Cheely has 2 port titanium designed specifically for minor powerfactor open and steel challenge pistols.
Are they still making the 2 port version? Trying to find one for a Steel Challenge build.
See the link. It has the side ports up front so it's listed as 4 port. http://ccgunworks.com/4-port-compensator/ Only 2 comps listed on the site.
Primary Machine make s pretty good comp.
I ran one on my P-09 and now on my AR9 pistol.
A forum member had a Cheely 2 comp on sale for a way good deal so I bought it. I'll update later with how it went.
Thanks guys for the suggestions!!
Carver Custom has 2 port comps.


NAVARRE — A Navarre man was seriously injured Saturday after losing control of his motorcycle on State Road 87.
The man, 57-year-old Douglas Wise, was riding his Harley-Davidson south on State Road 87 when he stopped for a traffic light at East Bay Boulevard, according to information provided by the Florida Highway Patrol.
When the light turned green Wise tried to accelerate but lost control of the bike and was thrown over the handlebars.
Emergency medical technicians arrived and decided to call in a helicopter. Wise was taken to Baptist Hospital with serious injuries.
FHP did not list a cause for the accident.
