Development planned near Slugger Field
Louisville has struck a deal with a group led by architect Jim Walters and his Bravura Corp. to develop the former Brinly-Hardy Co. property near Louisville Slugger Field as apartments and businesses. The first phase of the project envisions a $4.8 million renovation of the old Office Equipment & Machinery Co. building and an adjacent structure near Floyd and Market streets, producing 37 loft apartments and ground-level retail space. The second phase foresees at least 75 more apartments and commercial, office and probably retail development on former Brinly-Hardy land on both sides of Preston Street just south of Main Street.

Tour highlights downtown's living spaces
Concrete floors, high ceilings and a view of the city -- all features of The Glassworks Lofts -- piqued Tim Shell's interest during his first stop on a tour highlighting downtown living. ''It's not the cookie-cutter box apartments I've lived in. There's so much you can do with a space like this,'' said Shell. ''Each one (apartment) would be unique.'' Shell was among those who saw loft apartments in the Glassworks building on the Downtown Living 2001 tour.

Is Internet at risk from terror?
For 3 1/2 years, a shadowy group of computer hackers has broken into hundreds of computer networks and stolen thousands of top-secret files on Pentagon war-planning systems and NASA technical research. Dubbed the "Moonlight Maze" group, the hackers continue to elude the FBI, the CIA and the National Security Agency — despite the biggest cyber probe ever. And while no one knows what is being done with the classified information, some fear the thefts may be the work of terrorists or that the information could be sold to terrorists.
