Michael Jackson's doctor returns to work in Houston

Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray, who is the subject of an investigation into the death of the singer, has returned to work.

The cardiologist has resumed work at his medical clinic in Houston for the first time since the late singer's death on June 25.

"He has not been able to earn a living since the death of Michael Jackson," his lawyer Ed Chernoff told the Associated Press. "His legal fees are enormous and his debts have mounted to the point where it is unclear whether he will be able to keep his house or support his family.

"His intentions are to attend to these patients who have continued to support him, despite the attention and despite the threats."

HAAM’s Black Cat Junction goes to Kingwood

Humble Area Assistance Ministries will physically make an impact in the Kingwood community by opening a second location on Loop 494.

The Black Cat Junction Resale Shop, located where the former Kingwood Farmers Market used to be, will sell clothes, furniture, household items and more. The name for the new shop comes from its location on historic Black Cat Ridge, according to HAAM.

“We started this discussion in June. Our vision was to be on this side of the river and have a location in the Kingwood community,” Diana Garbis, executive director, said. “This location will also be a donation site for resale and social services items for our food and toy drives. We are looking forward to opening the space for donations later this year.”

Ashworth Construction will renovate the 3,000-square-foot facility by taking down the doors on the side of the building and replacing them with glass windows. In addition, HAAM will use the space outside for community seasonal events such as a pumpkin patch or Christmas tree farm.

To help make this dream a reality for HAAM, Danny and Geralyn Sullivan are allowing them to lease the property for the new Black Cat Junction Resale Shop.

“We have had this property for the past six years and we thought it was a great idea to allow HAAM to lease it and turn it into a community jewel,” Danny Sullivan said. “They can have a store front here along with having some farmers market-type seasonal events. We are really excited about this new venture.”

HAAM, which opened its first retail store in 1990, plans to open its second location by the first of the year. Garbis said she hopes it’s in time for a special celebration.
