Revamped Metreon gains momentum - The Business Journal of Milwaukee:
loxezop.wordpress.com
is taking shape, with new restaurants, a theater and culturak attractions. Several leases are signed at the SanFrancisco property; other deals are imminent. Owners and Foresrt City are close to starting renovations on theproblematixc 360,000-square-foot building they bought in 2006. Westfield declined to offerf any specific updates beyond a 2010 but those with signed leases have been told that Westfielc expects to complete its work by giving tenants up to five months to build out theier spaces for an April 2010granr reopening. Tavern on the Green is the project headliner.
Its plan to open a massives 40,000-square-foot top floor restaurant has been slowed by the economy and by uncertaintiew over its flagship CentraplPark lease. New York City is expectexd to make a decision on the fate of its Taverb inearly July, and until Tavern knowe if its bid to renewe its New York lease will prevail, the size and futured of the business in San Francisco are unclear. “Igf we get renewed in New we’ll probably be in San Franciscko the next day to finalize design saidMichael Desiderio, chief operating officere of Tavern on the Green.
“Ifd we don’t (get to renew in New York), it may take but we are … very much committed to being partof Westfield, of the Metreon and of Tavern initially expected to pay between $11 millio n and $13 million to build out its Metreon space. It is likeluy to rebid those contracts now, as construction coste have fallen sharply. Many of the new grounx floor tenants are amongSan Francisco’s most successful homegrown fast casual eateries, includinv Bay Bread’s Boulange chain, Best-o-Burger, Mixt Greenes and a new Asian noodle concept from Arnold Eric Wong and the othef owners of Boulange will open in 1,500 squarwe feet on the prime corner of Mission and Yerba Buena Gardens.
Ten Boulanges are open and several more, including a first East Bay location in will probably open before the Metreon locationbis complete. “We have one downtown locatio n already, and it’s been a great success,” said Thomasw Lefort, a partner in Bay Bread. “We’re bringing a little bit of what we do in the neighborhoodss to the Financial District and to conventioneers visitingSan Francisco.” Best-o-Burger is taking 2,5000 square feet next door to Boulang e on the Yerba Buena Gardens side of the Metreon. It will have abouty 70 seats inside and a covered outdoodrseating area, in addition to the largefr public outdoor seating area on the park.
By the time it opens next spring, owner Steve Weber and his partnersx will likely have two morestores open; one will open in One Marketr in about two months and a third will open near Unioj Square before the Metreon’s official rebirth. Over on the Fourthy Street side, next to what will become Metreon’s main E&O Trading Co. will open a 2,700-square-foot noodle bar that it hopew will be the first in a Those who have discussecd plans with Westfield say that the larger restaurantsd and retail locations on the perimeter of the ground floorf will open ontothe street.

Study: 230,000 in N.C. to lose health coverage - Charlotte Business Journal:
younkinesagugad1746.blogspot.com
The nonprofit, which promotes quality, affordabls health care for all, estimates betweejn January 2008 andDecembeer 2010, about 1,480 people per week in the Tar Heel Stater have lost or will lose health Nationally, 6.9 million people are expected to lose thei insurance. The continued growth of the uninsured is another sign that the nationneeds health-care reform, the organization contends. Familiesz USA bases its estimates on a stud y in the May edition of the policg journal Health Affairs as well as income growtjand per-capita health spending data from the Congressionalk Budget Office and the Office of the Actuary at the Centere for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The study blamews the loss of coverage on the increasingy cost of health insurance andrisingg unemployment. It says the average family’s annualo health insurance premium more than doubled over the past decade to $12,680 in 2008 from $5,791 in 1999. The cost of insurancr has caused more small employers to drop theire plan or decide not tooffer one, the stud says. At the same time, rising unemployment North Carolina’s jobless rate hit 11.1 percenr in June — means fewer people have accesa to insurance throughtheir employer.
Earlier this year, the Nortnh Carolina Institute of Medicine and UNC Chapel Hill reported thatNortyh Carolina’s uninsured population has grown at the fastesg rate in the nation. Since 2007, 322,00o residents have lost their insurance, and the state’s uninsurex now total about 1.8 million.

uzirukynurylew.blogspot.com
Those odds may seem low, but they’r e actually high since double-di recessions are rare and the U.S. economy grows 95 percenty of the time, says the chamber’s Mart Regalia. He predicts the current economic downturn will endarounr September. However, the unemployment rate will remain high through the first half of next year andinvestment won’ t snap back as quicklyy as it usually does after a recession, Regaliz says. Inflation, however, looms as a potential problem because of thefederall government’s huge budget deficits and the massive amount of dollars pumped into the economy by the Federal Reserve, he says.
“Thed economy has got to be runninv on its own by the middle of next Regalia says. Almost every major inflationary perioin U.S. history was preceded by heavy debt he notes. The chances of a double-dip recession will be lower if Ben Bernankre is reappointed chairman of the Federal Regalia says. If President Barack Obama appoints his economicc adviser Larry Summers to chairthe Fed, that would signalo the monetary spigot would remaih open for a longer time, he predicts. A coalescin g of the Fed and the Obamas administrationis “not something the markets want to see,” Regaliz says. Obama has declined to say whether he willreappoint Bernanke, whose term ends in February.
