Orlando gives free money to small city businesses
ORLANDO, Fla. —
WFTV found out the city of Orlando gives out tens-of-thousands of dollars in free money each year, to pay for makeovers for small businesses.
The city of Orlando footed the bill to spruce up a massage parlor in College Park which took a little more than $4,000 in taxpayer money for the owner to do repairs, paint and plant new shrubs.
“It made me happy that it matters to the city that small businesses are happy,” business owner Lu Mueller said.
The city dished out around $7,000 in free money to a bar-b-que restaurant. 
WFTV wanted to know why the city offers the free help.
“Would the city describe this as free money?  Absolutely not.  Every single program that we have is either distributed in a form or reimbursement or paid after jobs are created,” Orlando city employee Kathy DeVault said.

… AP) — While Dominique Strauss-Kahn faces fresh charges in his native France amid a prostitution investigation, a judge in New York may decide whether to allow a civil case accusing him of sexually assaulting a hotel maid to go forward.
The 62-year-old former chief of the International Monetary Fund was charged last year with attempted rape and other crimes after the May 14 encounter with hotel maid Nafissatou Diallo, but the criminal case was dropped after prosecutors lost faith in her credibility.
Still, she vowed to have her day in court, and sued Strauss-Kahn. She maintains he attacked her when she came to clean his luxury suite at the Sofitel Hotel.
…
Since then, Strauss-Kahn has seen his sexual behavior scrutinized internationally. On Monday, he was handed preliminary charges in France alleging he was involved in a hotel prostitution ring including prominent city figures and police in Lille.

Woods, now 36, won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla., shooting 13 under par for the tournament and whipping second-place finisher Graeme McDowell by five shots for his first official PGA Tour victory in more than 2-1/2 years. He did win his own Chevron World Challenge in December, but that was like beating himself.
‘‘It feels really good,’’ the beaming, red-shirted Woods said after the victory.
And why wouldn’t it?
The things that had gone wrong with his high-flying career since he backed his Cadillac Escalade down his driveway and into a fire hydrant and a tree on Thanksgiving 2009, leaving him half-conscious in the street, were profound and overwhelming.
Blown up was his marriage, his meticulously groomed image, his role as a father and — to many, if not most, golf fans — his appeal.
Strippers and sex tapes went with his wholesome image the way battery acid went with pancakes.

House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland told reporters it is “absolutely essential that we get to the bottom of this so that we can see that justice is done.”
Unofficial Sessions
House Democrats, whose minority status prevents them from calling formal hearings, have used unofficial sessions to highlight issues that appeal to their party’s voting base. Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke testified Feb. 23 before an informal panel of House Democrats, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, about the difficulties that women may face when access to contraceptives is restricted.
That session was part of congressional Democrats’ efforts to support President Barack Obama’s administration rule that employers, including religious-affiliated groups, must provide coverage for contraceptives in health-care plans.
Obama called Fluke on March 3 to pledge his support to her after radio commentator Rush Limbaugh called her a “slut” and a “prostitute” on a March 1 show.

Yet tough economic times make it difficult for working people to be neighborly, go to community meetings, or engage with police and other officials. More residents are renters and thus not putting down roots. A neighborhood’s shift in ethnic or racial makeup can reduce trust and a sense of shared civic values.
Police, whose primary job is maintaining order, are often ill-equipped to bring a community together. They prefer to be more feared than to act as a nurturer of neighborliness. And when they welcome residents to act as their “eyes and ears” in volunteer watch patrols, that same problem is simply passed along – perhaps even to someone like Zimmerman.
Police can also do only so much to help a community appear “respectable,” such as fixing broken windows or preventing prostitution, panhandling, or homelessness. They aren’t very good at reducing the anti-snitching culture in many neighborhoods or the hero worship of drug dealers in others.

Sanford and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office have another volunteer program called Citizens on Patrol. In Volusia, those volunteers ride two to a Sheriff’s Office-issued car. They undergo background and driver checks, an hourlong interview and 60 hours of training.
“We don’t want any cop wannabes or people thinking they’re going out and acting like cops and making arrests,” sheriff’s spokesman Gary Davidson said. “If we think that’s the motivation, we’re going to weed them out.”
Neighborhood Watch, by contrast, is less formal and is run by residents — although volunteers in both programs are told not to confront anyone. Their job is to observe and describe suspicious people or cars to law officers and help make their neighbors aware of problems.
“We tell people, ‘Don’t be a hero,’” Dorival said. “Don’t risk it.”
Watch group improved other Sanford neighborhood
Sherry Davis, coordinator of Lordland Neighborhood Watch near Sanford, credits the group with ridding her community of prostitution and drugs.
