Chicago Business Corus Bankshares Inc. on cusp of crisis
By Becky Yerak | Tribune reporter

"My guess is that the swirl of uncertainty and pending litigation make this a relatively unattractive property in Corus' portfolio from the standpoint of potential bidders, assuming it goes to auction," said Chicago small business lawyer, a Chicago lawyer representing the currently nine named plaintiffs. Any entity that assumes Corus' loan will need to make good on "broken promises made to buyers during the South Florida real estate boom."
Even Corus' deposits are not all that attractive.
Ex-Bills star Smith convicted of DUI
By Larry O'Dell, The Associated Press
Smith also was convicted of speeding and refusing to take an alcohol breath test. Judge Teresa McCrimmon gave Smith a 90-day suspended jail term and fined him $350 for DUI. She also suspended his driver's license for a year for refusing the breath test and fined him $90 for speeding.
The appeal is scheduled less than three weeks after Smith's Aug. 7 induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Smith, 46, ended a 19-year career with the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins as the NFL's all-time sacks leader. The defensive lineman played in 11 Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro selection nine times before retiring after the 2003 season.
Cardon said during the trial that 11 knee surgeries during Smith's career made it difficult to complete sobriety tests that included walking a straight line heel-to-toe and standing for 30 seconds on one leg. Smith was stopped on Interstate 264 in Virginia Beach in May.
Smith, 46, could be heard telling Officer Bryan Womble about the operations in a videotape of the arrest, recorded by a camera mounted in the unmarked patrol car. "I'm a former athlete," Smith told Womble.
