Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- A possible data breach at Home Depot (HD) may have been much bigger than the one at Target (TGT) last year, according to security expert Brian Krebs, with malware infecting terminals at all of Home Depot's stores and data offered for sale that included stores' zip codes.

After learning of a possible breach from banks, Krebs found stolen numbers at a site called Rescator that had also offered stolen numbers from previous breaches, including the one at Target. He matched the zip codes in card numbers flagged by the banks to a list of Home Depot locations and got a 99.4% overlap.

Home Depot said in a statement sent to TheStreet that it has been working on reports of a breach since Tuesday and that it has "no higher priority" than gathering the facts in the case. It said customers will not be held liable for fraudulent charges.The company, though, hasn't confirmed a breach. It is investigating whether a breach has occurred.

"We rate HOME DEPOT INC (HD) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated."

Living in a Material World: The Importance of Building Deconstruction and Reuse Until recently, Chicago had more tear-downs than any other city in the U.S. While saving and reusing existing buildings is almost always the greenest option, there are options beyond a quick and dirty demolition for entire homes as well as interior renovations. Join preservation and sustainability consultant Carla Bruni to learn about the differences between demolition and deconstruction, why one should care about saving the materials used to build bungalows and other historic homes, and the financial incentives available to offset the cost of deconstruction.

A Port Allen man was sentenced Thursday to life in prison for killing a Harvey handyman who was beaten and shot in his own home. Terrol "Nasty" Cole, 33, was convicted last month of the second-degree murder of Donald Bates, 53, who was killed by intruders seeking $12,000 in his Eastmere Drive home.

The crime happened Jan. 29, 2010. The cash was in Bates' house because he had just sold a car.

Cole, the third of three defendants convicted in the case, denied committing the crime. But a Jefferson Parish jury found him guilty as charged Aug. 22.

His sentencing was one of 55 criminal matters on Thursday morning's docket for Judge Michael Mentz of24th Judicial District Court. As such, Mentz dispensed with the case in a matter of minutes; there was no testimony.

Cole's conviction was in part based on prosecutors' flipping Rhonda Skinner, 42, a Westwego-area woman who set up the robbery. She knew Bates had the cash in the home, and she admitted that she enlisted Cole and Darnell Turnerto go in and take the money.

Skinner was arrested shortly after the crime in a West Bank motel. Cole and Turner were arrested a week later, in a hotel in Little Rock, Ark.

Cole asserted that he was in Baton Rouge when Bates was killed. Skinner and other witnesses contradicted that, and prosecutors also showed the jury his phone records, indicating he was in West Jefferson when Bates was killed.

Skinner was initially charged with second-degree murder but pleaded guilty two years ago to conspiracy to commit armed robbery and obstruction of justice. In return, she agreed to testify against Cole and Turner. On Tuesday, Mentz sentenced her to 25 yearsin prison.

Turner, 31, of Harvey, was convicted of second-degree murder last year. In April, he, too, was sentenced to life in prison, the mandatory punishment for second-degree murder.

For Harvey handyman's murder, Port Allen man sentenced to life in prison

Fort Morgan residents can expect traffic disruptions along South Sherman Street starting next week as construction work begins on a storm drainage project that is expected to continue until Oct. 31. Work will start Sept. 8 on the project, which will construct a storm drainage system along five blocks of South Sherman. The project is part of the citys storm drainage master plan and resulted from a drainage study and design completed for the south quadrant of the city in 2011. The project is scheduled to commence at the southern end of the project area and move northward in phases. The stretch of Sherman Street from County Road Q.7 (Lovers Lane) to Southridge Road will be the first area closed to through traffic. That section of the road is scheduled to be closed for approximately two weeks, and the work will then shift to the next section north. Only local traffic will be permitted in the project area, and detours will be through surrounding residential areas. Motorists are advised to plan ahead to avoid the area of South Sherman and use alternate routes. Traffic control and detour signage will be in place throughout the project. Meanwhile, the expected closure of Ensign Street to complete resurfacing of that road has been postponed until late September. Because of the volume of concrete under the roadway on Ensign that must be removed before repaving, that phase of the project is expected to take four to five weeks much longer than a simple paving project. With the Fall Harvest Car Show and the Pedal the Plains bicycling event scheduled for Sept. 19-21, the Ensign project was moved back to avoid having construction ongoing so close to downtown during those events. The plan now calls for the Ensign work to resume on the Monday after the car show, Sept. 22. Contractors that were scheduled to work on Ensign for the next two weeks have moved to the resurfacing project on Euclid Avenue instead. The new South Sherman drainage system will intercept a large portion of surface runoff water coming from West Street before it is conveyed into Burlington Avenue. Partial funding of the estimated $810,000 project is through the Colorado Department of Local Affairs Energy & Mineral Impact Assistance Fund, matched with city capital improvement funding. Edge Contracting Inc. of Golden, Colo., will perform the work. The project will create a north-south connection to an existing 66-inch storm pipe that runs east-to-west across South Sherman and moves water to retention east of the city. Approximately 1,500 feet of concrete storm sewer piping, varying between 18-inch and 36-inch diameter, and 1,000 feet of 29- x 45-inch elliptical concrete pipe will be installed, along with associated inlets and manholes. Construction will require concrete pavement saw-cutting, removal and replacement, as well as curb ramps to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and some sidewalk replacements and curb and gutter replacements. The storm drainage improvements will require excavation and pipeline installation depths varying between two feet and 18 feet. Because of the expected traffic impacts, city officials ask residents to be patient and avoid South Sherman Street whenever possible during the project. Detours and extensive traffic control signage will be placed on Sherman and adjacent streets throughout the construction period. The area will be open to local traffic with slight detours, but truck traffic will be rerouted. This and other projects now under way are part of the City of Fort Morgans ongoing capital improvement plan, which is aimed at continually investing in infrastructure such as streets, water and sewer lines, parks and other public amenities. City officials appreciate the publics patience and understanding during the periods of disruption caused by these necessary upgrades. Residents should be aware that this project will not result in a full curb-to-curb resurfacing of South Sherman, which would far exceed the budgeted funding. The areas excavated during the project will be backfilled and resurfaced, but the aim of the project is storm drainage improvement and not primarily road resurfacing.
