The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro is under construction in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

By WSMV's Larry Flowers and msnbc.com's Jim Gold

Updated at 7:30 p.m. ET: Construction work continued on a Murfreesboro, Tenn., mosque Wednesday despite a judge?s ruling a day earlier voiding building permits for the controversial project.

Chancellor Robert Corlew III of the 16^th District Chancery Court ruled that construction must cease because not enough notice was given about a May 24, 2010, public meeting in which Rutherford County planning commissioners approved the site plan for the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.

"This is Sharia law," Joe Brandon, plaintiffs? attorney, said of?construction continuing without a valid permit. "They?re thumbing their nose at the state of Tennessee."

Brandon?lodged?an order Wednesday at the?Chancery Court?asking that construction at?the mosque be stopped completely.

The county had not issued a stop work order by the end of Wednesday, Brandon said.

"If it were you or I, they'd be out there and stop us,"?Brandon charged. "The county attorney needs to man up and tell them to stop."

Corlew ruled in favor of Kevin Fisher and other Rutherford County residents who sued the Planning Commission. The mosque is free to reapply for permits, he said.

"It's a good day for the plaintiffs; I'm very pleased with the outcome," plaintiff Henry Golcyznky said, adding he was somewhat surprised Corlew ruled in the plaintiffs' favor.

"There should have been public notice. People should have been allowed to come in and express or at least understand what was going on," Golcyznky said.

A public notice about the 2010 Planning Commission meeting, in which no public hearing was required over the mosque?s site plan, was published in the twice-weekly Murfreesboro Post, which has a contract to handle Rutherford County?s legal advertising.?

Islamic Center members said they hoped to complete the first phase of the mosque by Ramadan, a month-long Muslim holiday beginning this year on July 20, based on the Islamic lunar calendar.

"This decision comes at a crucial time, because we were at a point about to celebrate the opening of our center. which we were hoping to happen, probably within two to three months. It's a sad day in our community," said mosque member Saleh Sbenaty.

Construction of the $2 million, 52,000-square-foot mosque is well under way, with the first phase, a 12,000-square-foot?building, nearly complete.

The mosque was not a party in the lawsuit.

"We really don't know the implications of the ruling that the judge came with. We're still in contact with our legal counsel.?... We're going to see what the next step is going to be," Sbenaty said

If the mosque officials must reapply for permits, then they will, he said.

A construction crew was at the mosque site Wednesday.

?"The decision of the court will not be final at the earliest until 30 days after a court order is filed,?county attorney Jim Cope said. "Therefore, things will remain in a fluid state during the next several weeks until the parties, ICM, and the court address all the legal issues that remain pending and unresolved."

The judge's ruling drew nationwide attention.

Council on American-Islamic Relations called for the Department of Justice to intervene in the case if the county doesn't issue new building permits to "protect the religious rights of Tennessee Muslims."

CAIR said the judge?s ruling ?used phrases and reasoning which could be viewed as indicating that a higher degree of public notice is required for issues related to Tennessee Muslims.?

Earlier?story at NBC station WSMV of Nashville, Tenn.

"American Muslim constitutional rights should not be diminished merely because anti-Muslim bigots are able to manufacture a controversy about what would otherwise be normal religious activities," said CAIR?attorney Gadeir Abbas.

"If the Rutherford County Planning Commission does not immediately issue new permits for the mosque, we urge the Department of Justice to intervene in this case to support the religious rights of Tennessee Muslims."

Mosque opponents have fought construction for two years, arguing that Islam is not a real religion deserving of First Amendment protections and that the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro has terrorist ties.

The judge dismissed those allegations but held the trial on the narrower claim that the public meeting law was violated.

Romney clinches Republican 2012 nomination in Texas

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mitt Romney clinched the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday with a resounding victory in Texas and now faces a five-month sprint to convince voters to trust him over Democratic President Barack Obama in the November 6 election.

Although the race has been essentially over for weeks, Romney finally cleared the benchmark of 1,144 delegates needed to become the Republicans' presidential candidate after a long, bitter primary battle with a host of conservative rivals.

He will be formally nominated at the Republicans' convention in Florida in late August.

In a statement, Romney said he was humbled to win enough of Texas' 155 delegates to secure the nomination.

"Our party has come together with the goal of putting the failures of the last three and a half years behind us. I have no illusions about the difficulties of the task before us. But whatever challenges lie ahead, we will settle for nothing less than getting America back on the path to full employment and prosperity," he said.

Romney's big day was overshadowed by his appearance with real estate tycoon and reality TV star Donald Trump, who organized a major fund-raiser for Romney in Las Vegas.

A famous self-promoter, Trump has been loudly fixated over whether Obama was born in the United States despite clear evidence that he was born in Hawaii, and Romney did nothing to publicly rein him in.

ROMNEY CONSIDERED UNDERDOG

Romney endured serious threats from Republican opponents from Rick Perry to Rick Santorum to reach a goal that his late father, former Michigan Governor George Romney, fell short of achieving -- winning his party's stamp of approval as its presidential candidate.

It is always difficult to unseat an incumbent president and Romney is considered the underdog. But with the economy staggering along, polls are close.

All indications are that Americans face the possibility of a cliffhanger election in November that will be decided by relatively small percentages of voters in as many as a dozen battleground states, such as Ohio, Florida and Virginia.

The former Massachusetts governor now faces a lengthy to-do list to gird for his duel with Obama, from picking a vice presidential running mate to raising hundreds of millions of dollars for a national campaign.

In the immediate weeks ahead, his goal is to bolster his case that Obama has been ineffective in handling the sluggish U.S. economy and hostile to job creators.

This argument will move soon to the energy industry, which Romney thinks Obama has bungled by not ramping up domestic production of oil and natural gas.

Romney in weeks ahead will turn to Obama's 2010 healthcare overhaul. The U.S. Supreme Court is to decide in late June on the constitutionality of the law's requirement that all Americans purchase health insurance.

Romney has vowed to repeal the law if elected, citing it as an example of too much government under Obama. He has faced criticism from Republicans for the healthcare overhaul he developed for Massachusetts that Obama has called a model for revamping the U.S. system.

The Republican, while popular with white men and military veterans, has work to do to try to bolster his popularity among women and Hispanics, two key voting blocs.

TRUMP RENEWS DEBATE ON OBAMA BIRTH

Trump in recent days has resurrected the issue of Obama's birth certificate to raise questions about whether the president meets the constitutional requirement of being a natural-born citizen of the United States.

The topic had seemed to run out of steam a year ago when the White House produced the president's detailed "certificate of live birth" from Hawaii, but Trump told CNN he is not convinced of the document's authenticity.

Obama's re-election campaign was all too eager to lump Romney in with Trump's connection with the fringe "birther" movement to try to damage the Republican with independent voters who are likely to decide the election.

Romney aides did not like the distraction presented by Trump but would rather have Trump helping Romney raise money for an expensive battle against Obama rather than sitting on the sidelines.

Romney himself did not address the issue head-on, instead issuing a statement through his campaign spokeswoman that said Romney has said repeatedly he believes Obama was born in the United States.

Romney refused to condemn Trump.

"You know, I don't agree with all the people who support me. My guess is they don't agree with everything I believe in. But I need to get 50.1 percent or more, and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people," he told reporters.

Romney also was meeting billionaire casino owner and Republican financial backer Sheldon Adelson in Las Vegas, a campaign aide said. Adelson and his family gave $21.5 million to a "Super PAC" group that supported Newt Gingrich during the Republican primaries.

Winning the nomination put to rest any lingering suggestion that Romney could face a conservative challenge at the Republican convention in Florida in late August as Gingrich had threatened to do when the race was still close.

CONSERVATIVES' WARINESS

Romney is trying to overcome wariness among conservatives, who mistrust his record in Massachusetts because of his healthcare plan.

"I was looking forward to voting for Rick Santorum," said voter Dan Cortez in San Antonio. He said he would now back Romney, for he believes it is important to elect "anybody who can beat Obama."

Texan Republicans on Tuesday also choose their candidate for a U.S. Senate race in November. Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst faces former state Solicitor General Ted Cruz in the primary. It will end up in a July runoff if neither man can reach 50 percent support.

Research team to develop motors for electric vehicles

Montreal, May 30, 2012 Electric vehicles will be the way of the future once people can actually afford them. A recent global shortage of the permanent magnets required by the vehicles' motor drives means that prices, already prohibitive for many consumers, are skyrocketing.

There may now be an alternative for powering those high-tech motors, thanks to Concordia's Power Electronics and Energy Research (PEER) team led by Pragasen Pillay, and including Sheldon Williamson and Luiz Lopes, who are working to produce a motor that is less dependent on costly magnets. The group's research engine is now revving thanks to almost $500,000 in funding from Canada's automotive research program, the AUTO21 Network of Centres of Excellence.

Along with the help of Ambrish Chandra from the cole de Technologie Suprieur, the group of researchers will embark on a two-year R&D project led by Pillay. Their goal? Reduce the need for if not eliminate permanent magnets while cutting costs and improving performance.

To remain competitive, they will use existing manufacturing facilities instead of developing a completely new process. This allows their industrial partner, Boucherville-based TM4 Electrodynamic Systems a leader in the design and production of electric solutions for the auto industry, to minimize their capital costs while adapting the manufacturing to the new designs.

This is one of 40 projects that will benefit from a $22-million investment by AUTO21. The funding supports automotive R&D projects at Canadian universities in partnership with more than 100 public- and private-sector companies.

"The ideas, products and technologies generated by these AUTO21-funded research projects will create jobs and businesses, help develop highly skilled people, strengthen our economy and improve the long-term competitiveness of our Canadian automotive industry," says Minister of State Gary Goodyear, who announced the funding May 29 at the AUTO21 conference in Montreal.

Lease Option Versus Lease Purchase - Understanding the Difference

Lease Options ?nd Lease Purchases are bec?ming m?re ?nd m?r? common. It is very important that on? understands both these terms properly ?n order to make ?ure the? kn?w what th?? are g?tting them??lv?? int? and wh?ch ?n? best suits y?ur situation.

We ?re first go?ng to look ?t h?w ? Lease Purchase i? diff?r?nt from ? Lease Option.

If ??u hav? b??n ?n the real estate business ?r h?ve read var?ou? articles online ?n r?g?rds to leasing, y?u m?y be aware th?t b?th thes? terms hav? b??n used interchangeably wh?n ?n actual fact the? ?r? completely different

If you l??k ?t a lease option, th?? ?s m?re ideal for the tenant. With a lease option, ??u have the option ?f buying th? property ??u ar? living in. You ar? not, however, required t? do so. The seller is required t? sell to ?ou sh?uld ?ou decide t? exercise your option. Also, the seller ma? n?t sell th? property to anyon? el?? until y?ur option h?? expired.

In comparison to this, ? lease purchase ?s qu?t? different. In th?? circumstance, the tenant ?f th? property would be required t? buy the property b?fore the agreement expires. A lease purchase i? ? mutual agreement th?r?for? wh?ch b?th parties ar? expected t? complete th?ir part of the deal.

Both Lease Options and Lease Purchases ?r? commonly used by people wh? ??n not qualify f?r a mortgage, but w?uld like to ?wn ? home.

Sellers u?e th?m when th?? w?uld lik? t? sell th?ir home quickly, but ar? unable to d? ?o due to the current real estate market. Both Lease Options and Lease Purchases have the?r benefits f?r sellers.

With a Lease Purchase, th? benefit ?? obvious. The tenant-buyer ?s required to purchase the home at the end of th? contract period. Psychologically, th?? i? f?r m?re attractive for som?on? who would like to sell the?r home.

A Lease Option m?y ?ctu?ll? provide m?r? protection for the seller however. The reason for this is th?t a Lease Purchase conveys wh?t is called equitable interest to th? tenant-buyer.

This means that ?n the event ?f default, th? seller would hav? to g? through the judicial foreclosure process ?nd th?n th? eviction process r?th?r than ?ust the eviction process. This foreclosure process can add ?ix months ?r mor? t? the time that ?t would tak? t? remove the tenant from the property. During th?s time, th? tenant ?? living in th? property without making payment ?nd th? seller st?ll ha? to make th? mortgage payment on th? property. For thi? reason, m?ny sellers choose a Lease Option contract ov?r a Lease Purchase.

It ?s very important th?t you understand th? difference b?tw??n both a lease option ?nd ? lease purchase before ?ou enter ?nt? ? contract. All t?o often, people sign contracts th?t the? d?n't re?lly understand.

By understanding the basic differences between ? Lease Option and a Lease Purchase, ?ou ??n determine whi?h contract structure i? r?ght f?r you. This ?? essential ?n making th? b??t decision for ??ur financial future.

Gov?t ? not aware why local arrears grow and changes Finance Law again.

The target to reduce arrears of local administrations was by far missed in Q1 this year and the debt has actually started growing, which is an indication of serious shortcomings in respect of the monitoring and enforcement of the Law on Local Public Finance, says the latest letter sent to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Mediafax informs.?Although they allocated extra funds from the state budget to reduce existing arrears, Government officials do not know the causes or even the entities to which the debt is owed. The target to diminish state budget arrears was also completely missed in the first quarter and the failure in that respect cancelled all decreases operated in the course of last year, the reason invoked being the need to allocate resources to hospitals. ?In this situation, the Government will ask for technical assistance to operate a new change to the Law on Local Public Finance, including in what regards the distribution of funds among the various local entities and the system of broken-down quotas.?On a distinct note now, the Executive will change the way in which property taxes are calculated. As of next year, local council taxes will be different in keeping with the occupancy of the building, unlike the current system that sets different rates for natural persons and companies.??We will revise the taxation base for property taxes, which will vary in keeping with the occupancy of the property and not with the tax-payer (natural vs. legal person),? reads the letter of intent the Government sent to the IMF. Under the new conditions, the local council tax paid by an individual or by a company could be similar if the buildings are used for the same purpose.?Under the current law, the property tax is subject to distinct regimes according to the nature of the owner and is regularly smaller if the owner is a natural person and higher if the owner is a company. As a matter of fact, the calculation formula is different. In the case of natural persons, a rate of 0.1 per cent is applied to the taxable value, calculated according to the quality of the building material used, amenities and location.In the case of companies, the tax rate is established by the local council and may be from 0.25 per cent to 1.5 per cent of the market value of the property. In the case of a building that has not been reappraised, the tax rate is set by the local council (the General Council if we speak about Bucharest) between 10 per cent and 20 per cent for buildings that have not been reappraised in the three years prior to the fiscal year of reference and between 30 per cent and 40 per cent for buildings not reappraised during the five years prior to the fiscal year of reference.?Next year, local council taxes and dues will grow by 16.05 per cent (the 2010-2012 added inflation rates). Under the Tax Code, local taxes and dues are amended every three years in keeping with the inflation rate since the previous change. Local council taxes were last amended in 2010. Following the increase, the tax value of a building made of reinforces concrete fames or with exterior walls made of brick will grow from RON 806/sq m to RON 935/sq m for properties equipped with electric installations and sewerage and from RON 478/sq m to RON 555/sq m for properties that are not connected to such utilities. The tax value of buildings with wooden walls will grow from RON 219/ sq m to RON 254/sq m ? with utilities ? and from RON 137/ sq m to RON 159/sq m ? no utilities.

MILAN (AP) ?

A magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit northern Italy on Tuesday, killing at least 10 people in the same region still struggling to recover from another fatal tremor on May 20.

Premier Mario Monti pledged in a hastily called news conference that the government will do "all that it must and all that is possible in the briefest period to guarantee the resumption of normal life in this area that is so special, so important and so productive for Italy."

The quake, which struck just after 9:00 a.m. local time (0700 GMT), was centered 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of the city of Bologna, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was just miles from where a 6.0 temblor killed seven people earlier this month. The quake was felt from Piedmont in northwestern Italy to Venice in the northeast, and as far north as Austria.

The ANSA news agency reported that 10 people had died, while the LaPresse news agency said others were still buried under the rubble of collapsed homes and factories. Concordia Mayor Carlo Marchini confirmed the death of one person struck by falling debris in the town's historic center.

The mayor of San Felice sul Panaro told Sky News 24 that there were fatalities in his town. News media said a tower in the town had collapsed.

As far away as Milan, tall buildings and schools were evacuated as a precaution before people were allowed to re-enter. Train lines connecting Bologna with other northern cities were stopped while authorities checked for any damage.

When the quake hit Tuesday, Monti was meeting with emergency officials in Rome to discuss the impact of the earlier quake, which struck in the middle of the night and left at least 7,000 homeless.

Television footage on Sky News 24 showed evacuees from the May 20 quake peering out of their shaking emergency tents in disbelief. In the first quake, four of the victims were working overnight shifts in factories that collapsed; the other three died of heart conditions or other illnesses brought on by fear.

Residents had just been taking tentative steps toward resuming normal life when the second quake struck. In the town of Sant'Agostino, a daycare center had just reopened. In the town of Concordia, the mayor had scheduled a town meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the aftermath of the first quake.

The May 20 quake was described by Italian emergency officials as the worst to hit the region since the 1300s. In addition to the deaths, it knocked down a clock tower and other centuries-old buildings and caused millions in losses to a region known for making Parmesan cheese. Its epicenter was about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of Bologna.

Obama says Vietnam veterans too often 'denigrated'

(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama paid tribute Monday to the men and women who have died defending America, singling out Vietnam veterans as an under-appreciated and sometimes maligned group of war heroes and vowing that "it will not happen again."

"You were sometimes blamed for the misdeeds of a few," Obama said. "You came home and were sometimes denigrated when you should have been celebrated. It was a national shame, a disgrace that should have never happened."

Marking Memorial Day at both the Vietnam War Memorial and earlier at Arlington National Cemetery across the Potomac River from the capital, Obama noted that for the first time in nine years, "Americans are not fighting and dying in Iraq," and the nation was winding down its role in the conflict in Afghanistan.

"After a decade under the dark cloud of war, we can see the light of the new day on the horizon," Obama said to an audience gathered at the Arlington amphitheater lined with American flags under a warm, brilliant sun.

In this election year, Obama said the nation must remain committed to providing for the families of fallen soldiers and help returning service members seeking a job, higher education or health care benefits.

"As long as I'm president, we will make sure you and your loved ones will receive the benefits you've earned and the respect you deserve," Obama said. "America will be there for you."

Obama said sending troops into harm's way was "the most wrenching decision that I have to make. And I can promise you I will never do so unless it's absolutely necessary."

At the Vietnam War Memorial, Obama said of the veterans of that war served with "just as much patriotism and honor as any before you."

"When you came home, I know many of you put your medals away," he said. "You didn't talk too much about your service. As a consequence, the nation didn't always appreciate the chapter that came next." He said that although many Americans turned their back on Vietnam veterans, "you never turned your back on America."

As he seeks re-election, Obama has reminded audiences about the end of the war in Iraq and the move to bring all troops home from Afghanistan by 2014. And in a campaign ad released last week, he credits U.S. servicemen who helped in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, meantime, promised to maintain an American military "with no comparable power anywhere in the world."

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee appeared with Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the GOP's 2008 presidential candidate, before a crowd in San Diego crowd estimated at 5,000 in what was billed as a Memorial Day service, not a campaign event. But Romney nevertheless drew clear contrasts with Obama. The former Massachusetts governor warned against shrinking America's military in Europe's image and said the nation must have the world's strongest military to win wars and prevent them.

A Bureau of Labor Statistics report in March found that 12.1 percent of U.S. Armed Forces veterans who served on active duty after September 2001 were unemployed in 2011. The unemployment rate for all veterans was 8.3 percent.

Veterans could play a significant role in the 2012 election. Exit polls in 2008 showed that Obama was supported by about 44 percent of voters who said they served in the military, while 54 percent voted for McCain, a former Navy pilot who was a prisoner of war for more than five years during the Vietnam War.

A poll released Monday by Gallup found that 58 percent of veterans support Romney and 34 percent back Obama. The results were based on a sample of 3,327 veterans who are registered voters and had a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Several closely watched states in the election have large blocs of military voters. Florida, home to several military installations, has more than 1.6 million veterans, according to the Veterans Administration. Pennsylvania has nearly 1 million veterans, while Virginia and North Carolina each have about 800,000 veterans living in their states.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama started the day with a breakfast at the White House for families who have lost loved ones in combat.

Why Blogging Is No Longer Optional If You Do Business Online ...

?

By Christine Gallagher

I know, I know. I can hear some of you groaning now! Many of you already have a blog and understand its importance in gaining visibility for your business. But I know many others are still resistant to the idea. You believe it takes too much time and effort, you don?t think you are a great writer, you don?t know how to set one up, you don?t know what to write about?.I understand all of the reasons that may be holding you back.

If you already have a traditional, ?brochure? style website for your business that?s great. You should keep that as a place for prospective clients and customers to visit to find out more about you and what you offer. I use my blog as my main site, meaning I don?t have a separate, static website. That?s a personal choice. Many people choose to have both, with the blog being linked to from the main site.

If you don?t currently have a blog, there are several important reasons why you should consider it:

Visibility: If you are doing even just some of your business using the web then you obviously need to have an online presence. Having a blog that you post to regularly is a wonderful way to capture and keep the attention of your prospects. When they see that you are posting consistently updated content, they are more likely to return to your site.

Search Engine Optimization: This doesn?t mean you need to study up and implement a ton of SEO techniques yourself. But blogs by their very nature are dynamic, meaning the content is updated often. In Google?s eyes, this is a very good thing-it shows that their users are getting fresh information. A blog is a great way to get your business to rank well in the search engines.

Community Building: By allowing comments on your posts you are promoting conversation and encouraging feedback. It can even help you to perform ?market research? and find out what it is your target market needs from you. This feedback can also be helpful for coming up with ideas for future posts.

Positions you as the Expert: Something interesting happens once you begin posting useful content regularly and attracting subscribers. You become seen as a thought leader in your niche. This leads to more opportunities, more relationships and more business. It?s a terrific way to communicate the value of what you have to offer to prospective clients and customers.

Personality Sharing: Blogging gives you a chance to be seen as a real person and not just a business. Be willing to express opinions and let your true self shine through. This will go a long way towards humanizing you in the eyes of your readers.

In my opinion, the best thing about blogging is how simple and quick it is to publish a post at the push of a button. It?s also wonderful to be able to track exactly how many people are coming to your blog and where they are coming from. Just install Google?s free Analytics tool and you can see detailed statistics on your visitors and traffic.

Just begin and get it going. Aim to post once a week. They don?t have to be long posts and they don?t have to be earth-shatteringly brilliant. As with anything, you?ll get better at writing the more you do it. Jot down any ideas that come to you for posts as you go about your day. I keep a file of topic ideas that I think of and I find this helpful to look at if I get stuck for what to write about.

Blogging should be something you carve out time for just as you would any other marketing activity. If you really feel you would have nothing to say to people who may want to hire or buy from you, then perhaps it is just not for you. But I encourage all small business owners who are doing business online to at least give it a try. You never know, there may be people out there just waiting to hear your voice.

Lets have a look at some good case studies.

Lets explore some of the key rules for engaging video content.

What are the opportunities with distribution ? social reach?

Video is the crown jewel of content marketing, simply because It is the closest medium to real life.

People can both see and hear your message in such creative story telling ways and can be moved to action in ways rarely possible with other forms of content.

Compelling online video should be interactive, accessible, informative and a sticky type of content: what is best referred to as ?Intelligent Content.?
