110720-N-ZL585-302 DEARBORN, Mich. (July 20, 2011) Rear Admiral John E. Jolliffe, Vice Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, slips behind the wheel of the Ford Motor Company Navy Blue Angels Mustang, set to be auctioned off at a Michigan air show to raise funds for student aviation scholarships. Jolliffe and Sailors from local commands visited the Ford Motor Company Corporate Headquarters in Dearborn, Mich and met with corporate executives and employees during Detroit Navy Week 2011, one of 21 Navy Weeks being held this year across the country. Navy Weeks are designed to showcase the investment Americans have made in their Navy as a global force for good and increase awareness in cities that do not have a significant Navy presence.

Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art
The Baltic Flour Mill was built by the Rank Hovis company in 1950 and was extended in 1957 by the addition of an animal feed mill. The mill was closed in 1981.
Dominic Williams of Ellis Williams Architects won an architectural competition in the mid 1990s to convert the 1950s Baltic Flour Mill into a centre for art. After ten years in the planning and a capital investment of ?50m, including ?33.4m from the Arts Council Lottery Fund, BALTIC opened to the public at midnight on Saturday 13 July 2002. The inaugural exhibition, B.OPEN, featured work by Chris Burden, Carsten Holler, Julian Opie, Jaume Plensa and Jane & Louise Wilson and attracted over 35,000 visitors in the first week.
