WICHITA — Numerous Wichita apartments have recently changed hands . First, Lew McGinnis, an Oklahoma businessman with a history of buying and selling apartment properties here and in his home state, has purchased six more in Wichita for a dozen total. McGinnis didn't return calls for comment, but someone in his office – who declined to give her full name – confirmed that he has purchased new properties here and is now managing them as well. They include the 240- unit Barclay Square Apartments near Riverside Park; the 220- unit Cedarbrooke Apartments on East Harry just east of Rock Road; the 138- unit Eastborough Apartments on East Kellogg just west of Rock Road; the 196- unit Kingsborough Apartments near South Seneca and West 27th Street South ; the 244- unit Rockborough Apartments near Douglas and Rock; and the 239- unit Woodgate Apartments on East 21st Street North between Oliver and Woodlawn.

"); } if ($(imageDivId).length == 0) { $("#wrapper").after(contentText); } })(jQuery); BREMERTON, Wash. - Crystal Turner stood in the kitchen of her cramped apartment and stared at the cracks in the fake wood flooring beneath her feet. Surrounding her was the home she'd made for herself and her two sons in the past year, since they moved out of her Toyota Camry and into Admiral Manor, a low- rent apartment complex in west Bremerton . There was the single bedroom with two kids' beds on the floor. The living room she'd decorated with signs that said "Hope" and "Love." A dingy bathroom with a leaking toilet that had never been fixed.

It was only four years ago that Africa’s richest square mile became the destination of choice for SA’s major financial firms , sparking the largest commercial property development boom of the decade. Corporates including Investec , Nedbank, RMB and the JSE were the early movers into Sandton during the 2000s, and several firms have since followed suit. Sasol, Webber Wentzel, Alexander Forbes, EY, and Bowman Gilfillan have anchored their main offices in Sandton in recent years while Discovery and Old Mutual Emerging Markets will soon pile into the area. Property developers believe the catalyst for Sandton was the advent of rapid rail system Gautrain in 2010, which unleashed billions of rands in office, retail and residential property developments . Over the last three years, developers launched high - rise luxury apartments , piggy-backing on the relocation of corporates into the area that would, in theory, create demand from buyers who desired to live closer to work. However, the s...

Betty White, ICM's Toni Howard, '90210' showrunner Chuck Rosin and more remember prom night, partying at Marvin Gaye's house and staging plays with "sets flown in from Broadway" on the iconic campus that turns 90 this year: "There was no one as cute as Jason Priestley." On the very first episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 , which aired Oct. 4, 1990, Shannen Doherty 's Brenda Walsh — uprooted from Minnesota and thrown into a world with valet parking for students' BMWs and Jags — sits with her freshly minted BFF Kelly , played by Jennie Garth . Brenda asks Kelly for guidance navigating the fictional West Beverly High . "Kids here are richer. Some of their parents are celebrities," Kelly answers. "So it's not your normal high school ." Neither was — or is — the high school that inspired it, the real- life Beverly Hills High School , which counts among its alums 90210 's first showrunner, Chuck Rosin . While BHHS, which ...

This month, a man was arrested in Oklahoma City for trying to detonate 1,000 pounds of explosives in a cargo van parked downtown . The attack, he hoped, would cripple the government and start a revolution. Last October, three men were arrested in Kansas for plotting to bomb an apartment complex and a mosque using four cars laden with explosives. In these febrile days, where terrorists have sought to wreak fear and chaos from Orlando to Paris, and now Barcelona, you’d expect wall-to-wall coverage on cable news about these foiled plots. Terrorism experts would be wheeled out to opine for hours on all angles, from the explosives used to the profile of the would-be attackers to how and why they were radicalized. Instead, the two incidents got barely any coverage — some brief news spots here and there and a few mentions online. Ask any Arab-American or Muslim in America why those incidents weren’t covered ad nauseam and they’ ll reply deadpan : because the would-be attackers were white. So...

This is the story of how Kirsty tried to track him down. It's breakfast time and Zack, 28, is running late for his job in a High Street bank . His partner, 34-year-old Kirsty, tells him to hurry up, but he's laughing. He gives Kirsty a kiss and says goodbye to the children - a seven-year-old and a baby of just five weeks. As he walks out to the street, the eldest child goes to the window and makes heart shapes with her hands to Zack below. It's an ordinary morning.

Instead, he walks into a police station and tells them if anyone reports him missing, he doesn't want to be found. Kirsty discovers this when sh...
