A rooftop patio for 75 patrons, complete with a polished granite bar, decorative planter boxes and one killer view of the massive Buckhead retail renovation currently under way. McGill says the pub's menu faves like corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips and famous boxtys are staying put as are those popular early AM televised soccer and rugby matches that are heavily attended by British ex pats and their American friends. Alas, the inconvenient hour of the game telecasts here (the matches are played in the PM across the pond) is something McGill says won't change either, Quipped McGill: "The vagaries of time travel forces us to show them at that hour here." If city permits are issued in a timely fashion, the new Fado should be open in time for St.
Sources: Suns a 'yes' away from acquiring Shaq for Marion
The seemingly improbable pairing of an aging Shaquille O'Neal and the run-and-gun Phoenix Suns is just a final "yes" from the Suns away from happening, according to NBA front-office sources. Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday night that the Miami Heat have already agreed to send O'Neal to the Suns in exchange for All-Star forward Shawn Marion and out-of-favor guard Marcus Banks. Miami is simply waiting for Phoenix management to complete a medical examination of O'Neal and formally accept what would rank as one of the most unexpected trades in league history. "It looks like it's going to happen," said one source close to the situation. "We should know for sure by [Wednesday]." ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher reported Tuesday night that O'Neal is scheduled to arrive in Phoenix on Wednesday to undergo a physical.
Inches of snow wallop Iowans yet again
The Des Moines police and fire dispatch center readied itself in the calm before Tuesday afternoon's rush hour.
Ann Moeller and Nick Giampolo, both senior public safety dispatchers, sat feet from each other. The phone board in front of them slowly came to life, a red dot signifying another accident, dispute or complaint.
"You hit a building?" Giampolo asked, holding the phone against his left shoulder. "Do you need an ambulance?"
The chatter was typical of what occurred in many dispatch centers across Iowa. Most of the state on Tuesday was under a winter storm warning that wasn't expected to expire until noon today.
Des Moines could see anywhere between 5 and 9 inches of snow on the ground; areas to the southeast could see up to foot or more.

Purdue has faith in its emergency alert system
With such a high use of cell phones among college students, such a system makes sense," he said, adding that Purdue's plan seems to be a good one. But more possibilities could be in the works. Norberg said the university is exploring ways to make verbal announcements from the university's bell tower. According to Ksander, the university is also exploring ways to alert people in classrooms around the campus. "At any given moment, large numbers of people are in classrooms," Ksander said. In some cases, those people might not hear sirens and might have cell phones turned off. "We have an idea we're working on for that," Ksander said, declining to discuss details for now. "The bottom line is, we're not stopping." In November, the Ivy Tech college system throughout the state also initiated a text message and e-mail system to alert students, faculty and staff of emergencies and sudden changes in the school schedule due to events such as severe weather.
