. Families have been drawn there by performances put on by the Ann Arbor District Library.

But this urban park in downtown Ann Arbor has earned a reputation that contrasts sharply with images of people relaxing at a summertime concert and children enjoying a library program.

Public drinking, drug use and fights arent rare occurrences in the concrete park at the southwest corner of Division and Liberty streets. Set a few steps down from the sidewalk, the two-tiered park has gained a less-than-flattering reputation since it first opened to public use in 1978.

The park has off and on been a problem for years, said John Teeter, property manager at First Martin Corp., the company that built and still maintains the park. Its a wonderful park when theres programming. ... When theres legitimate users in the park visiting, its wonderful.

He pointed to the Thursday Sonic Lunch concerts, sponsored by Bank of Ann Arbor as an example of programming that works. But often, the park doesn't work well, he said.

When you have people drinking, doing drugs, defecating and urinating near buildings or harassing someone trying to eat lunch, its a detriment to the area, he added.

Teeter said Liberty Plaza has had cycles of criminal activities over the years, giving the place a reputation as a hangout for vagrants that may drive other residents away. But, those who use it have cultivated their own community. Many who regularly visit the park play chess, loan money to each other and engage in lively discussions.

Roughly 20 people milled about Liberty Plaza on a recent afternoon and nearly all of them greeted each other with smiles, handshakes and warm words. Some were quietly eating their lunch in the early afternoon sunshine while others skateboarded around benches and trees. The scene was a far cry from Teeters worst-case scenario of people being driven away by unruly park users.

People down here are cool, man, said Jacob Dorsten, a homeless man hanging out in the park. Ive never seen any trouble here.

A problem of design

Liberty Property Trust Hosts Third Quarter 2012 Results Conference Call

PLANTATION, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Renowned and respected investment advisor and founder of Midas Letter (www.midalsletter.com), a subscriber-driven private investment strategy newsletter, James West, has recently reported his overview of the Trinity Silver Project, a Liberty Silver Corp. (LSL.TO) (OTCBB:LBSV) endeavor.

The Trinity Silver Project is located 25 miles northwest of Lovelock, Nevada (Pershing County) and shares its geographical location with major gold and silver producers including one of the largest silver mines in the United States, the Rochester silver mine owned by Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation, which produced 125 million ounces of silver from 1986 to 2010 and has an estimated 120 million silver ounces in reserves.

As reported by West at http://www.midasletter.com, In the month of September so far, the company has traded over 20 million shares and doubled in value. Silver itself has traded in a similar trajectory, increasing in value by 35% since mid-summer, and outperforming gold smartly. The most respected and experienced traders in precious metals fully expect the ratio of how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold to head towards 16:1 from its current level of over 50:1. That would imply a silver value of $110 per ounce.

If Liberty Silver shares continue to trade at such a high beta to the silver futures price, the premium being awarded Liberty Silver could be substantial, adds West.

Liberty Silver Corp is an advanced stage junior silver mining company focused on developing its flagship property the Trinity Silver Project comprised of 10,600 acres including 5,700 acres of fee land and 240 unpatented mining claims. The Trinity property, previously mined and operated by US Borax, produced 5 million ounces of silver from 1.1 million tons of ore from its open pit oxide resource from 1987 to 1989; mining ceased when sulfide mineralization was encountered in the bottom of the pit and metal prices were too low to support mining the sulfide resource.

Historical drilling and production data, recent surveys and drilling results, as well as independent research reveals the property has potential resources of approximately 120m silver equivalent ounces between the Trinity property and the adjacent Hi Ho silver property of which Liberty recently entered into a mineral rights agreement with.

West cites Liberty Silvers caliber of management and board of directors as a key to the projects success with leadership from Geoffrey Brown, Chairman & CEO, former head of private equity at Merrill Lynch Canada; Bill Tafuri, President, bringing 40 years of diverse mining and exploration experience with such companies as Getty Mining Co., Kennecott Corp. and Santa Fe Pacific Gold Corp.; Paul Haggis, an icon in Canadian business circles as Chairman of Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd, C.A. Bancorp Inc., a Canadian merchant bank and alternative asset manager and Alberta Enterprise Corporation, a venture capital fund overseeing $100 million for early-stage ventures; and the backing of legendary entrepreneur Bobby Genovese, Chairman of BG Capital Group (a venture capital and private equity firm based in Barbados with offices throughout North America with assets of more than $200 million) as one of the biggest shareholders of Liberty Silver Corp.

Liberty Ross has been seen wearing her wedding band for the first time since her husband Rupert Sanders cheated on her with Kristen Stewart.

The model removed her band after husband Rupert Sanders was seen cheating on her with 'Twilight' actress Kristen Stewart in July, but on a night out at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood on Tuesday (25.06.12) she had it back on.

It is the first time the British beauty - who played Kristen's on-screen mother in 'Snow White and the Huntsman, which her husband directed - has been spotted with the ring on since the scandal.

However, Rupert has been seen wearing his.

In August, the 33-year-old star was said to be still deciding what to do after seeing pictures of Rupert - with who she has two children and has been married to for 10 years - with Kristen in July, and had not decided whether divorce was the best option.

A source said: 'Nothing has been filed. It's still too early to tell what will happen.

'She is talking to and seeing Rupert now for the kids, but as far as the marriage she's still processing everything that happened.'

Liberty Ross wearing wedding ring

Rupert Sanders' estranged wife Liberty Ross stepped out Tuesday in L.A. wearing a big diamond ring -- on her middle finger.

The 33-year-old British model attended the Nokia Music launch concert for Janelle Monae at Club Nokia. Ross, who happily smiled for photographers on the carpet, looked skinny in a leather jacket and leather pants.

PHOTOS: Women who've been cheated on

Since Us Weekly broke the news that director Sanders, 41, had cheated with his Snow White and the Huntsman star, Kristen Stewart, 22, in mid-July, Ross hasn't been wearing her wedding ring.

On Tuesday, Ross still chose not to wear her ring, but she did accessorize her middle finger with a huge diamond rock.

PHOTOS: Ruper and Kristen's shocking fling

Sanders and Ross have two children together, Skyla, 7, and Tennyson, 5. Last week, the supermodel stepped out with her ex-boyfriend, Christopher Taylor, to attend The Serpentine Gallery party in London.

As revealed in the new issue of Us, on stands Friday, Stewart has recently reunited with her boyfriend, Robert Pattinson. Pattinson, 26, and his Twilight costar/girlfriend of three years have now moved back into together.

As for Sanders and Ross' relationship? A source told Us late last month, "It's too early to tell what will happen with them."

When first hearing about the Liberty City Transit Hub (now Village), there was anticipation that the site where this project is to be placed would potentially showcase a unique mix of increased commercial activity coupled with public transportation and other amenities.

Yet, even against the focused opposition of local business owners and community residents, county officials are still pushing what is essentially just another mega housing project that is sorely inappropriate for this specific commercial location.

Whats still very curious is that the word transit is still featured as part of this projects name.

And the Carver signage featured in the rendering, which may or may not be included in the final product, doesnt disguise what is really being proposed.

What county officials continue to ignore, with specific disregard to socially sensitive areas like Liberty City, is the direct correlation between how the built environment is developed and its longstanding impact on the areas social and resultant economic potential.

The social aspects the much too frequent and severe criminal behavior have a clear, yet unspoken, psychological root.

Unemployment issues arent lost in this equation as these issues have a direct bearing on the communitys psyche as well.

The degree of sensitivity to which the built environment is developed can assist in foundationally remedying many of these ills, if given proper exploration.

Given the complexity of this sites context, the tangible and intangible issues surrounding this site and area, housing shouldnt be its focus.

Housing projects, new and not so new, are already peppered in abundance throughout the area with no real balance of creative amenity that the overall area beckons.

When Liberty was trying to put together its football schedule last winter, the original plan was to schedule a game for Sept. 29 and leave Oct. 20 as an open date, giving the Flames a bye week in the middle of their conference schedule.

Athletics director Jeff Barber struggled to find a taker for a Sept. 29 home game, though, and eventually, the school scheduled Division II Concord on Oct. 20 and moved the open date to the end of September.

After the four-week gauntlet Liberty has faced out of the gates, featuring an FBS opponent, three teams ranked in the various FCS polls and a 2,300-mile road trip to Montana, the schedule change could prove to be a blessing in disguise.

I think so, Liberty coach Turner Gill said. It works out pretty well.

Both the Flames and Gardner-Webb, Libertys opponent for its Big South opener on Oct. 6, will have next week off after facing an extremely difficult four-game non-league stretch. GWU opened with games against Wofford, Richmond, Samford and Pittsburgh.

Its going to work out well for us, Gill said. Every team has bumps and bruises, and its going to be a good time for us to regroup after this ballgame and be ready to go in conference play.

Hall of Fame

Liberty inducted its fourth Athletics Hall of Fame class this weekend, and the five members of the 2012 class were honored at halftime of the Flames game with Lehigh.

This years class:

* Jesse Castro, who wrestled at Liberty from 1977-81 and resurrected the schools dormant wrestling program, coaching it from 2006-10. Under Castro, 24 individual wrestlers qualified for the NCAA championships.
