Real estate is declining, commercial lending is flat and despite big profits, businesses are sitting on piles of cash rather than invest or hire new workers. A new analysis shows that while the federal stimulus program helped keep the recession from becoming a depression, the program wasn't nearly big enough, as many economists feared. Now that the money is running out, the prospects of a second program seem dim at best. For workers who've exhausted their unemployment benefits, the second dip will be even worse than the first.

All along Eight Mile, up I-75 corridor in Oakland County and to the western reaches of Wayne, businesses have sprung up advertising hydroponic garden tools and high-intensity heat lamps--equipment hardly used for growing tomatoes. Billboards, too, have cropped up for med marijuana clinics and growing classes. Even in local gas stations, magazines have begun to pop up on store racks dedicated solely to cultivating and selling medical marijuana. And yet, as businesses push ahead trying to capitalize on this budding market, state regulators and law enforcement officials are still trying to make sense of new law. In Ferndale, for instance, local officials challenged one aspiring pot grower's right to open a medical marijuana dispensary--among the first true tests of whether the new ordinance will pave the way for big business here in Michigan.

MARIJUANABIZ (undated) -- While Michigan's medical marijuana laws aren't as lax as California's, pot does have the potential to become big business in the Great Lakes State. Elsewhere in the country where marijuana has been decriminalized for medical use, industry has built up around it supporting its cultivation and distribution. We take a look at these other states and see what might be in store for Michigan four or five years down the line. By Christina Rogers. Developing. Developing. SCHOOL-SHOPPING (undated) -- Shopping for school supplies and the kids' new fall wardrobe is dangerous in a recession -- parents need to balance the need to cut spending without leaving the youngsters feeling deprived and scared that mom and dad are heading to the poorhouse.

But it's been 48 weeks now, and nobody has won the jackpot -- which stands at $600,000. Ticket sales are topping $100,000 a week, all cranked out of a little bar and grill in Carleton called the Grafton Inn, and the Rotary Club has realized more than $100,000 in profit for its various good works.
