Like Orlando, Las Vegas lives on tourism.
Unlike Orlando, Las Vegas uses tourist taxes to help pay for schools, cops, roads and more.
There's a simple reason for the Las Vegas logic: Locals know that, although tourists bring money to town, they also place demands on services.

So instead of doing what Orlando does — pouring all hotel taxes back into attracting more tourists — Vegas spends some of it on behalf of the people who live there year-round.
We're talking nearly $200 million on schools last year alone.
An additional $116 million for cops, roads and parks.
Here in Orlando, not one penny of the $175 million collected last year from hotel taxes went to pay for cops that patrol the tourism corridor.
It is time for that to change.
Ten years ago, it looked like it might. Orange County had just dumped an additional $750 million into its convention center. Magic owner Rich DeVos was demanding hundreds of millions more for a new arena. And the convention and visitors bureau wanted more for marketing.
Citizens called for a timeout.
In poll after poll, they asked legislators to change the state law, saying that restricting hotel-tax spending primarily to marketing, sports arenas and convention centers didn't make sense.
One Sentinel poll found 70 percent of residents wanted to amend state laws. One conducted by then-Mayor Glenda Hood put the number at 86 percent. Even the town's business elite wanted to change, as evidenced by an 80 percent vote at a Chamber of Commerce hobnob.
But tourism leaders wouldn't have it.
They instructed the politicians to ignore the people. And the politicians dutifully followed orders.
I've never seen a political issue that had such widespread support among the populace — yet had so little chance of passing, simply because the big money was on the other side.
Las Vegas used to be the same way.
For years, the city of bright lights and broken dreams poured tourism taxes back into the tourism economy. The city conjured up brilliant marketing slogans — like "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" — that helped the city thrive.
But along the way, Las Vegas noticed that it was neglecting its locals. Like Orlando, Vegas bore the battle scars of rapid growth: congested roads, crowded schools and strained resources.
So Vegas leaders started thinking bigger. At first the tourism industry resisted. But ultimately it embraced diversification.
The Vegas visitors bureau still gets plenty of annual cash — $159 million last year alone. But now there's plenty more to pay for other needs as well.

36 people recommend parking here 22 left comments
It was convenient to get in and get out. The people were pleasant and very close to the track. Yes, I would park here again.
Very easy in and out, however we were lucky. At the start of the race we were completely blocked by other cars with no way to exit. Fortunately the cars in front of us left the race early. When we got back to our car we were able to leave.
Great space!
Very hard to find entrance, even with GPS, but once found this was the best parking spot since attending races at CMS since 1994.
Easy in, close by and easy out. I would do it again
Easy access. Very close to the track. The 581 address is not correct using. GPS. It will take you about 6 miles past it. Just use the directions on this site. Leaving was easy too other than the expected race congestion.
This is a large 2 acre surface parking lot directly across Morehead Road from Charlotte Motor Speedway. Access from Highway 29.
Managed by Preferred Parking Service. This location is a commercial parking lot.
This location is on the southeast corner of Highway 29 and Morehead Road in Concord NC, directly across the street from Charlotte Motor Speedway. When approaching from 485 via 29 the lot is the last right before you get to Morehead Road. Heading South on 29 it is the first left after you pass Morehead Road. We're directly north of the Shell gas station.

Certimo User Experience Ratings Usher in a New Era for Mobile Device Buyers
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. and BEIJING, Feb. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mobile Experience Alliance, an open membership-based organization providing user experience ratings for mobile devices, joins Tencent, a leading provider of comprehensive Internet services in China, in announcing the publishing of the first set of Certimo™ ratings for Android smartphones to hundreds of millions of users on Tencent's QQ.com network. Certimo™ (www.certimo.org) is a new rating system for mobile devices that accurately reflects consumer experiences, empowering consumers to select their next smartphone with confidence.
The Next Era for Consumers of Mobile Devices-User Experience Ratings
With over 1 billion smartphones shipped globally last year[1], the mobile industry is investing in the creation of new mobile technologies and user experiences at an ever increasing pace. However, many smartphones have similar designs and features, and consumers are often confused about which phone is right for them. Compounding this challenge is the lack of reliable information to help consumers determine how smartphones will perform in the usage scenarios that consumers care about-their user experience. Consumers and stakeholders in the mobile ecosystem are demanding a consumer-friendly, unbiased and accurate user experience rating system. Certimo is the solution.
With Certimo, consumers have a trustworthy way to evaluate different vendors' smartphones through standardized measurements-including application performance, web browsing, messaging, multimedia, infotainment, display quality and battery life-all based on real-world operating conditions and use cases. Each user experience is rigorously measured and the ratings are independently certified by BDTI (Berkeley Design Technology, Inc.), the technology industry's trusted source for benchmarks, analysis, advice, and engineering. The first version of Certimo is available now and is designed to evaluate Android smartphones based on how consumers in China actually use their phones. Future versions of Certimo will be available for other regions and other device types.
"As our exclusive media partner in China, Tencent is the perfect partner to promote Certimo ratings to consumers in the world's largest smartphone market," explained Dino Brusco, General Manager of the Mobile Experience Alliance. "The Certimo ratings measure things that matter to consumers and are designed to truly empower consumers to purchase a smartphone that best fits their personal needs. The Mobile Experience Alliance invites all mobile industry participants to join in this endeavor."
The first Certimo ratings published by Tencent include user experience ratings for popular Android smartphones sold in China from manufacturers such as HTC, Huawei, Lenovo, LG, Meizu, OPPO, Samsung, Sony, Vivo, Xiaomi and ZTE. These ratings are available on the Tencent website (http://digi.tech.qq.com) and at www.certimo.org.
QQ.com's editor, Caitlyn Chen, commented, "Certimo provides an objective and accurate analysis of product characteristics based on user-experience, to provide an accurate and reliable basis for decision making. As the digital channel of one of China's largest Internet portals, Tencent Digital channel will leverage our media-oriented operation to bring the consumer benefits of the Certimo rating to China."
About the Mobile Experience Alliance (MEA)
The Mobile Experience Alliance (MEA) is an open membership-based organization for all key stakeholders in the mobile ecosystem with a shared vision of creating a consumer-friendly user experience rating system for mobile devices. Members of the MEA have access to the Certimo benchmark and rating system and all Certimo ratings are certified as unbiased and accurate prior to publication. Members may gain access to the Certimo benchmark tests in advance of their product introductions for internal use during their product development cycle. Tencent Digital is MEA's exclusive media partner in China.

A police officer who stumbled upon one of the sites early this month died in a shootout with the militants, and his discovery led to 16 arrests and the dismantling of the two nascent cells.
Security forces seized explosives, guns and maps, as well combat gear and coded documents from one of the groups, which Interior Minister Ali Larayedh said was led by three Algerians with ties to the head of al-Qaida's North African offshoot AQIM. They had been active for about three months in the national forest in central Tunisia preparing young Tunisian men, including many who wanted to go to Libya and Algeria for fighting and more paramilitary training, he said.
The second group was discovered in another national forest in northern Tunisia, about 200 kilometers (100 miles) away, apparently with the sole purpose of moving experienced militants from Libya to Algeria, he said. Both camps were near the border with Algeria, and authorities there and in Libya cooperated in the investigation, Larayedh said.
"We strongly believe there are links between these two groups," Larayedh said.
A branch of al-Qaida is active in Algeria and has occasionally crossed into Tunisia, where hardline Islamists are on the rise since the ousting of a secular president in 2011.

10,000 people use breathalysers on their phones! (Translation)
3 June 2010
"It's a great thing" says Witold Drzażdżyński - regional chairman of the International Police Group in Poznań. "I think that having a breathalyser on your phone is a very good idea."
Thousands of consumers, who use the application "Put the Per Mille to a Test" on their mobile phones, agree. With the long weekend in June approaching, when it's time to have friends over for a barbecue, this handy breathalyser may be very useful.
Downloading this application takes only a minute and costs about .61PLN. All you have to do is send a text message saying Per Mille to 70958 and you will receive a link to the application. After you download it on your mobile phone you can use it with no additional costs or limitations. You can check your own or your friends' per mille at every party.
How does the application work?
You need to enter your information such as: sex, age, weight as well as the amount of alcohol consumed and the time you had your last drink and the result will show instantly. The result is obtained using the alcohol curve algorithm (Widmark formula), provided by the National Agency for the Prevention of Alcohol-Related Problems. "Don't ever drink and drive" - this information will show on the phone display to remind all drivers about that important rule. Everyone will also be able to call a taxi in selected city by dialling one of the numbers from a national database of taxi corporations. The application also includes information regarding legal levels of per mille in various European countries, so that persons travelling in Europe can check the regulations of each specific country. For those willing to test their reflexes, there is a game of caps, an integral part of the application.
"It really works. In fact, only approximate results are given, but it still makes you reconsider whether or not you should drive when you have over 0.00 per mille. Every programme that promotes driver education and reminds drivers not to drive under the influence of alcohol should be supported. I, personally, also have it installed on my phone." - adds Witold Drzażdżyński.

By SUSAN MCMILLAN Kennebec Journal
AUGUSTA — Gov. Paul LePage's two major opponents in the 2014 governor's race say they would nix the A-F school grading system if they are elected, casting doubt on the future of the program if LePage doesn't return to office.
Education commissioner Tony Bennett announces his resignation at a news conference on Thursday, August 1, 2013, in Tallahassee, Fla. Bennett came under heavy scrutiny for the way he used the A-F grading system in both Indiana and Florida. Maine based its system on Bennett's ideas. (AP Photo/Steve Cannon)
Local school leaders say they haven't received much help from the state, while the state Department of Education says it is hamstrung by the Legislature, which failed to provide needed funding. Also, see what parents and real estate agents have to say about the grades.
Nearly half of the high schools that received Ds and Fs were penalized because not enough of their students took the Maine High School Assessment. Local principals say they do everything they can to encourage students to take the test, but they can't force students to give up a Saturday.
Some schools earned good grades and may provide direction for those that didn't fare as well. What was the key to getting a top grade?
Gov. Paul LePage implemented the grading system without a state law to go along with it, so it could be discontinued at any time once the governor leaves office. Is there enough support for the system in Maine to continue it even if he leaves political office?
From the start, the report card system unveiled in May provoked backlash from educators, Democratic legislators and many parents, who said the grades were an unfair and incomplete depiction of school quality. That sentiment is shared by Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud and independent Eliot Cutler, who both say they will run for governor next year.
In an emailed statement, Michaud said the system is deeply flawed and undermines public schools.
"Like most people, I think it's extremely important to hold schools accountable, but we need a better approach that includes parents, teachers and administrators," Michaud said.
Cutler, who finished a close second to LePage in 2010, said that instead of school quality, the grades represent inequities in resources across the state, both in students' homes and in the system of state aid for schools.
"It's not clear to me where the A-F grading takes us," Cutler said. "It tells us something we already know, and that is that our funding formula in Maine and our distribution of resources in Maine is problematic."
When the grades were first released, staff at the Department of Education had to "hunker down" and ride out the criticism for a couple of weeks after the grades were released, but since then they've seen acceptance of the system, spokeswoman Samantha Warren said in July.
"Very quickly the conversation shifted from, 'Should they be doing these grades?' to 'What do we include in these grades?' to 'What do we do about these grades?'" she said. "Now schools are in a position to engage with us in a conversation about what this was all about."
Questions raised nationally
On the national scene, however, a new round of debate has erupted about the validity and usefulness of A-F grading for schools, which could affect the drive to implement it in more states. And without a place in statute or federally mandated reporting, Maine's system could be vulnerable to changes in the political environment in Augusta.
There are 15 states with A-F grading for schools, with Maine as one of four states to join the trend just in the last year. Maine's system is far less entrenched than the others, and not just because of its newness.
In most states, the systems were adopted through legislation, but Maine's is an initiative of the LePage administration. There's nothing in statute to require the Department of Education to calculate and publish grades if the next governor decides against it.
In addition, at least half of the states with letter grades incorporated them into the plans that have freed them from some requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind act. To comply with the terms of the waivers, those states must continue to apply letter grades to schools.
By contrast, the waiver that the U.S. Department of Education recently approved for Maine is based on a different school rating system, with labels such as "priority," "focus" and "meeting."
Maine Department of Education officials have said they will continue to use A-F because it's clearer for the public, but there's nothing in Maine's waiver that requires the state to use the letter grades.

The health of our forests and grasslands is an important focus that we take very seriously as we strive to succeed at Caring for the Land and Serving People.
On Friday, December 27, 2013, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Wyoming Sage-Grouse Resource Management Plan/Land Use Plan Amendments for the Rawlins, Rock Springs, Kemmerer, Pinedale, Casper and Newcastle RMPS; as well as the Thunder Basin National Grassland and Bridger-Teton and Medicine Bow National Forests Land Use Plans. This release opens a 90-day public comment period that will close March 24, 2014.
The Draft Land Use Plan Amendments/Environmental Impact Statement (LUP/DEIS) considers four possible management alternatives for maintaining and increasing habitat for Greater Sage-Grouse on BLM and Bridger-Teton and Medicine Bow National Forest and the Thunder Basin National Grassland in Wyoming. The BLM and the Forest Service have been working closely with cooperating agencies to incorporate local expertise and information.
The 90-day comment period for the Greater Sage-Grouse Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Land Use Plan Amendments for Idaho, Nevada and Utah closed on January 29. The Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management will be analyzing the substantive comments received, revising the draft environmental impact statement, and publishing a final environmental impact statement, which will include a Response to Comment report. A Notice of Availability for the Proposed Land Use Plan Amendment and Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be published in the Federal Register in the fall of 2014
Public involvement is an essential and required part of the planning process. We appreciate your participation, which will help both agencies accomplish what they are proposing.
The U.S. Forest Service needs a variety of skills and experience in order to fulfill its multiple use missions. A variety of temporary positions will be offered competitively throughout the region.
A Forest Service career will put you on the front lines of conservation, wildland fire, intelligent resource utilization and wildland management. The challenge is to help manage the nation's forests, ranges and wetlands in ways that are most environmentally responsible, sustainable for the long term, and most effective for the American citizens who use them.

Global climate change is altering forest and grassland ecosystems. These lands produce services such as water, clean air, wood products, recreation, wildlife habitats, etc.
The Dixie National Forest is the lead forest for three power line projects that will potentially impact all Utah forests. The Forest Service is not the lead agency; BLM is the lead agency.
The Forests to Faucets Project identifies areas that supply surface drinking water, have consumer demand for this water, and are facing significant development threats.
In March 2010 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ruled that listing the Greater Sage-Grouse was "warranted," for listing under the Endangered Species Act.

Whoosh. Bye-bye, Chargers. The team owned and operated by the family Spanos goofed. Put a fork in them. This one will be forever remembered as the Collapse at Qualcomm.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Refunds, anyone?
This also played out in front of the millions who watch "Monday Night Football" on ESPN. If you are the Spanoses or General Manager A.J. Smith or Coach Norv Turner, you wanted to be part of this nationally televised stink bomb like you wanted a root canal.
The Chargers led at the half, 24-0. By the time there were still nine minutes left in the game, Peyton Manning and the Broncos had caught and passed them at 28-24. For the Broncos, it was a comeback of stirring proportions, mitigated just slightly by the fact they had made it against the Chargers. For the Chargers, it was a disaster psychologically, as well as a public relations nightmare.
It was also a record-setter.
--It was the first time in NFL history a team trailing by 24 points won by double digits.
--It tied the NFL record for largest comeback win by a road team.
--It tied the largest comeback win in "Monday Night Football" telecast history.
--It marked Manning's 47th game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime, as he tied Dan Marino for most all-time.
Speaking of records, this left both teams tied for the lead in the west division of the AFC with 3-3 records. Much had been made here of San Diego's chance to take a two-game lead in the division and complete the first go-around of games against the division with a sweep. Fat chance, as it turned out.
Oh, there will be brave words coming forth from Chargerland now, especially because San Diego has a bye week and more time to work on its lines. Turner, who has no choice but to muddle on, began the exercise after the game when he said, "There are a lot of people who are going to count us out. People will say that we can't respond or can't come back from this. I've got a lot of faith in the guys in the locker room.…We're capable of becoming a very good team."
A cynic might respond to that with the question: Yes, but with who in charge?
Turner, a really decent man who seems to be protected like a secret son by Smith, has 10 more games, at the most, to turn this team from disaster to playoffs. The Broncos' 3-3 feels like 5-1; the Chargers' like 0-6. If Turner can get the Chargers out of this muck and into the playoffs, then they can make a sequel to "Miracle on 34th Street" about him and the team. He won't just be up for coach of the year, but for canonization.
Manning's performance should not be lost in the morass of the Chargers' choke. He, of course, had much to do with it.
In the first half, he was barely a factor because he barely got to play. His team fumbled a punt and a kickoff return deep in Broncos' territory to facilitate two San Diego scores. He hit a receiver so open the only thing that would have kept him out of the end zone was if he tripped and fell. Which Eric Decker did.
In the first quarter, Manning got to run eight plays. His two starting points for those were the Denver 14- and the Denver 19-yard lines. The Chargers kept dropping punts just shy of the goal line and Manning's kick return players, when they weren't fumbling, were getting him no breathing room.
Things got only a bit better for him in the second quarter, when he got to run 16 plays, including one kneel-down with time expiring at the end of the half. His field position starts in the period were Denver's 3, 5, 22 and 20. The Broncos' deepest penetration in the first half was San Diego's 46.
In the second half, of course, Manning and the Broncos pretty well camped out in the Chargers' end zone.
Manning was his usual self, reading the defenses, gesturing to teammates like a guy trying to organize a soccer game of 6-year-olds, waving his arms as he changed plays and frustrating the Chargers into numerous encroachment penalties. When he retires, he can work at an airport, motioning planes into the gate. It's hard to have any idea what he is doing, or why. But it works. Monday night, it worked for three touchdown passes and the Broncos' defense took care of the rest.
Defensive back Tony Carter picked up a fumble caused by the never-ending pressure of defensive end Elvis Dumerville and returned it 56 yards for one score. Cornerback Chris Harris sealed the deal with a 46-yard interception return for a 35-24 lead.
That was one of four passes for interceptions thrown by Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who said afterward, "So much was at stake for an early year division game. It's not the way you want to go into a bye week."
The best summaries of the night came from the opposing locker rooms.
The Broncos' Carter, asked whether he had ever been part of a comeback from 24-0, said, "Only in Pop Warner football."
Chargers safety Eric Weddle, asked to comment on the loss, said, "I don't really know what to say right now."
Here's guessing Chargers fans do.

Background Info --The purpose of the Title I Distinguished Schools Recognition Program is to identify schools that are:
(1) ensuring that all children have access to effective instructional strategies and challenging academic content; and,
(2) demonstrating success in ensuring that all children, particularly educationally deprived children, make significant progress towards learning that content.
A nominated school may be a schoolwide program or a targeted assistance school.
Each state may nominate two schools for national recognition:
Additional information about this program is available at http://www.titlei.org/dsp.html.
The Title I Distinguished Schools Recognition Program for 2007-2008 will be using new procedures to determine the selected schools. In past years, Distinguished Schools applications were solicited from Title I schools.
The Department has decided that the Blue Ribbon and Title I schools programs have similar selection procedures. Because of this, there will no longer be a Title I Distinguished Schools application distributed for submission. Instead, under the revised procedures, the staff of the Office of Federal Programs will determine the eligible schools for both programs by using screening criteria (test scores, AYP, poverty data, recognition history, etc.) and approach eligible schools for site visits.
The planned site visits by NCLB consultants and other federal programs staff will occur during September. Finalists will be determined and presented to the Commissioner for approval. The Title I Distinguished Schools will then complete required paperwork that will be forwarded to the national level.
National Title I Distinguished Schools are recognized at the annual NASTID Conference.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Polarized "passive" 3D TVs hit the market in the beginning of the year as a response to the bulky, expensive, complicated active-shutter 3D TVs that turned off many would-be buyers. But many home theater enthusiasts (and TV manufacturers) claimed that they sacrificed image quality in the process. DisplayMate Technologies, a display calibration software developer, pit active and passive 3D TVs against each other to get to the bottom of this and published the results in a freely-available report (3D TV Display Technology Shoot-Out). As it turns out, passive TVs have a more restricted viewable range than active-shutter sets, but they don't lose detail. Read on for more on their testing procedures, as well as our own in-house testing results.
When you're watching TV, you're looking at a flat 2D panel. In order to trick your brain into seeing a 3D image in a flat panel, you have to show each eye a slightly different image, which your brain puts together into one image with the illusion of depth.
Active-shutter glasses are actually a pair of small LCD screens alternately block out the image in the left and right lens in sync with the TV, which shows your eyes slightly different images that your brain puts together to create the illusion of depth. Naturally, this gear doesn't come cheap. At first, active-shutter glasses cost around $150 per pair, though recently they've been coming down in price to as low as $50.
Passive 3D TVs use the same glasses you find in 3D movie theaters, which are similar to sunglasses. The passive 3D TV starts by displaying two different images superimposed on each other through a polarized light filter. Each lens in the passive 3D glasses has a filter that allows a different image in, so each eye can receive a different half of the image and produce the 3D illusion without depending on any electronics in the glasses.
However, this theoretically comes at a cost in image quality; each lens gets a different half of the image, so the odd lines go to the right eye, the even lines go to the left eye, or vice versa, meaning each eye would only get 540p of a 1080p image. Passive 3D TV manufacturers argued that it didn't matter because while each eye might get 540p, your brain puts both halves of the image back together so you see a 1080p image. If the active-shutter advocates were correct, passive 3D would make a Blu-ray look like a DVD--something which no home theater enthusiast in their right mind would tolerate.
DisplayMate ran the Samsung UN46D7000, Sony KDL-46HX729, LG 47LW6500, and Vizio E3D470VX through a battery of tests, but the one we're most interested in are their sharpness and resolution viewing test. In order to determine whether passive 3D glasses blocked out any image details, they used a scene from IMAX Space Station 3D that shows a sign (pictured below) with some very small text (6-10 pixels tall).
Even though the passive 3D TV screen looks the worst out of the three when viewed without glasses, it looked the best with the glasses on. DisplayMate President Raymond Soneira presents the results in their test report: "In all 14 cases the small text (6 to 10 pixels in height) was readable on the FPR Passive Glasses. This definitively establishes that there is excellent 3D Image Fusion and the Passive Glasses deliver full 1080p resolution. Again, if the Passive Glasses only delivered half the resolution, as some claim, then it would have been impossible to read the small text on the FPR TVs. So those half resolution claims are manifestly wrong – no, ands ifs or buts!"
Interestingly, Soneira goes on to state that the small text in the scene was actually easier to read on the passive TVs than the active TVs, because the active glasses have issues with crosstalk and image ghosting that the passive sets don't have to deal with.
Our own subjective comparisons echo DisplayMate's results. We tested several sets in our Active 3D vs. Passive 3D feature, and while you can certainly see the passive TVs' interlaced look staring at the screen without glasses, all the passive 3D TVs we've tested in-house (the LG 47LW5600, Vizio XVT650SV, and LG 47LW6500) all produced a 3D image that looked every bit as detailed as their active-shutter counterparts.
Active 3D TV makers: The ball is in your court. If you want us to pay the premium (and deal with the headaches) of active-shutter 3D, you'll have to show us a 3D TV that looks better, first.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

As experts in operating income-producing properties, Tiempo creates and delivers value for our clients, through advertising, marketing, and lease negotiating. We manage all applicable maintenance, taxes, mortgages and insurance. We ensure rent is collected, and respond to tenant needs and issues, and provide regular reports (i.e. occupancy, rent roll, and budget) to property owners, providing regular updates on how the investment is faring.
Our management strategies help real estate owners reduce their operating costs, keep occupancy levels high, enhance property values, and maintain a superior work environment for tenants. Our expertise in tenant satisfaction, engineering services, security, and energy management helps owners provide tenants with a space they will office out of long-term.
We listen to your needs and tailor our recommendations to your specific goals. If searching for space, we can help you select the right site, weigh the potential incentives, negotiate the lease or sale, build in flexibility for changing needs, oversee the build-out, coordinate the move, and manage the facility. And if you outgrow the space, our experienced team and creative marketing strategies will help you identify a new location that meets your business goals.
Tiempo's Commercial Management team manages our current portfolio of retail spaces, office complexes, storage facilities, shopping centers, and industrial buildings and provides a full range of services for clients, including:
Our property managers draw from their vast industry experience to achieve great efficiencies and make your buildings work for you. And we help save money through our stringent quality control and oversight. Additionally, we are on-call 24 hours a day for emergencies should they ever arise.
You gain instant access to a team selected specifically to meet your objectives, and they come armed with expertise in interior build-out, move management, commercial real estate operations, occupancy planning, engineering, architecture and construction.

We'll analyze your business drivers and occupancy needs, identify and evaluate appropriate options, and manage lease negotiations. In fact, we'll be your on-call expert for all your leasing and lease administration needs.
We provide commercial real estate valuations that won't leave you second guessing. Whether you're a portfolio owner, or an institutional investor or lender, timing is literally money in realizing real estate capital appreciation. It's critical to know precisely what a property is worth in the face of rapidly changing markets. Our commercial real estate valuation experts can help give you the confidence you need to act decisively—and profitably.
Tiempo's Loyalty Program rewards tenants with monetary savings via waived security deposits and reduced rent on their spaces.
We want to be your space provider for life. We've got all types of spaces, all over Arizona, and all at affordable prices. We work hard to ensure that our properties are kept up-to-date and are beautiful, comfortable places to work. And we hire experienced, trained professionals to serve your needs.
However, we know that sometimes, it comes down to the best deal. So we've implemented our new Tiempo Loyalty Program to ensure that you choose Tiempo.
Simply rent one of our spaces, and the savings clock starts ticking. For every year (after year one) you reside in a Tiempo property, are in good standing with us, have not had any late fees for the year, and no lapses in tenancy with us, you'll receive a $50 discount on your rent each month.
For example:
If you are a resident of our Buckeye Commerce Center ($15/ft2 per month, 600 ft2 space), your rent could be:
Year One = $9,000 per month
Year Two with $50 Discount = $8,500 per month ($600 annual savings)
And your discount travels with you to any of our Tiempo properties. So if you leased from us at Buckeye Commerce Center for two years ($15/ft2 per month, 600 ft2 space) and then transferred to our Liberty Plaza ($12/ft2 per month, 600 ft2 space), your rent could be.
Year One = $9,000 per month
Year Two with $50 Discount = $8,500 per month ($600 annual savings)
Year Three with $50 Discount = $7,150 per month ($600 annual savings)
Your total three-year savings would be $1,200!!!

Laura's Corner
I work very hard and am attending college to obtain my degree in the Human Service field. Writing makes me feel alive and gives me the opportunity to touch those whom I would not be able to otherwise. Last but not least, I have been blessed with two amazing daughters who love me completely and support my dreams. Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or feedback.
This past weekend, I went to dinner and my friend and I decided to go for a walk. It was Friday night and the weather was slightly chilly. I had not truly dressed for the occasion, but fortunately had remembered a light jacket in the trunk of my car. As we walked along the river, we noticed a flurry of activity. I love the east side, especially along the lakefront. Walking is what I do, usually around the pond and also the four sets of stairs from the pond area up to Prospect. It literally takes your breath away, and no, I am not only talking the scenery. After 25 sets, a total of 100 flights of stairs, you are literally drained and exhilirated all at the same time. Occasionally, I will sit and do your average people watch session, but normally it is in and out for me. No matter what, I always feel safe.
Getting back to last Friday. My friend and I are casually strolling along the river. It is quite a stretch, but I love to walk. We reach a point that I have heard of so often. Yep, you got it, I see "The Fonz". How cool is that? The statue sits on the river, with a plaque very close to it. Within 15 feet of the sculpture sits a woman, on a chair of some sorts. She is wearing a smock with the words "Miss Katie" across the front. She is around 5 feet tall and has a cute roundish face. She reminds me of my grandmother, yet younger. She is comfortable, yet I wonder. Who is this woman? And, why is she here? Does she need help, does she have a home? So many questions run through my mind. She offers to take a picture of my friend and I next to The Fonz. "No thanks", we respond. I am slightly hesitant to hand my electronic devices to strangers. Although she seems safe, the inevitable always pops into my mind. The traveling adventurer, the seemingly harmless "photographer". One hands over the camera, and the next thing you know, the photog is running as fast as he or she can with their new possession. Quite a few things ran through my mind. Yet, a journey of an adventure began. Miss Katie begins to describe The Fonz, head to toe. She mentions in his right thumb-print there are initials, representing Henry Winkler and his wife. Also, along the hand are initials of I believe the creator and his wife as well along with a heart. Miss Katie pulled me in. She began to describe her family history. At one point I glanced down and noticed a smock. Inside she carried paints. I questioned her motive for being in this particular place. She stated that she paints faces and arms. I request that she paint my arm and she happily obliges.
High School Reunion...
Ok, so I may be dating myself here, but I recently attended my 20 year high school reunion. Yep, believe it or not, Laura "Hendricks" decided to go for it.
I had gotten a couple of emails from previous classmates throughout the past couple of months. I was excited because not only had I know most everyone in the graduating class, but had also attended grade school with a few as well.
Straight from the Soldier's Mouth....
With the current election closing in on us, most of us are pretty set regarding who we are going to vote for. One of the main concerns of us as an American people is our National Security and the War at this time.
Being a member of the United States Army, I can honestly state I support our troops. I have many friends who have not only served, but have been deployed numerous times. I received an honorable discharge in 1991. My children's father served a 1 year tour in Kabul, Afghanistan which I believe changed his life. My children and their father kept in touch via letters and email.
Institution of....
When you hear the word "institution"
what is the first thought that comes to mind? Is it more in the
direction of positive or negative?
When I think of institution, I recall a conversation with a Great Aunt years ago. About 50 years ago my Aunt gave birth to a daughter with down syndrome. The doctors and nurses at that time had very different ideas regarding children who were "different" . They stated that the best care for my cousin would be to eventually allow her to be raised in an institution. Fortunately, my Aunt and Uncle disagreed and raised their daughter on their own. She is one of the most loving and kind persons you would ever meet. She is very active, holds a job and has a boyfriend as well.
Today, regarding the word institution, we now associate it with something which should be a very positive experience. The Institution of Marriage. I am sure you have heard of it used in that way, correct?
Marriage today is quite different than 50 years ago. Divorce was a curse word, at least in the Catholic Church. Men worked and women stayed home. Oh how times have changed. More likely than not, most children will have numerous step parents and siblings as well. It is more common than not to be divorced and multiple marriages are on the rise. Dissolution is not prejudice. It hits every race, age and sex. We have now opened the doors and the word marriage has a completely new definition. Instead of this union being approved between a man and a woman, it is now open for everyone regardless of sexual orientation. It almost appears that if you STAY married for more than 10 years, you are a rarity. Marriage extinction is on the rise and soon enough we will be at a 75% divorce rate for all persons.
What has changed something which was the core of our society? Can we pinpoint an exact point in time when this institution became so very negative?
West Allis Fire Department
If any one of us has ever lived in the City of West Allis, I am sure at one time or another you have spotted the WAFD logo on the side of an ambulance cruising down your street. You will notice, for those neighbors who are home during the day, a crowd gathering out of "curiosity". I am sure each and every one of us hopes for the best possible outcome for any patient who needs assistance and transporting.

Yes, recommended to a friend.Legacy Sisals November 30, 2010
"I ordered two 8 x 10 Legacy Sisals. This is the second time I have purchased rugs on line from this company. The delivery was as promised and the rugs are wonderful. The color is actually more of a charcoal black. Very nice."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Great Rug March 03, 2009
"I purchased this rug after seeing something very similar at Crate and Barrel. I hoped it would be as good as the one there but it is possibly even better! The rubber backing keeps it firmly in place, the quality of the sisal is great..scratchy to sit on but perfect for under a dining room table where we have ours. I love the color...a dark charcoal color that is perfect on any color of floorboard. Overall this is a great purchase and the price still blows my mind. I used a coupon with my purchase which made it a steal!"

Government finally stumps up cash for North Kingston secondary school
3:34pm Friday 20th December 2013 in News
The Government has finally stumped up the cash to renovate the north Kingston centre into a secondary school in time for September 2015, it was announced today.
The amount of money from the Education Funding Agency (EFA) for construction and refurbishment has not been revealed.
The Kingston Educational has previously told parents the project would require in excess of £10m.
Graham Willett, of Education Kingston - the consortium of Kingston Council, Kingston College and Kingston University which will run the free school - said: "We are delighted the EFA are supporting our school with an amount of money that will ensure an outstanding physical environment for teaching and learning."
The funding for the school has been hanging in the balance since the coalition Government took over and education secretary Michael Gove scrapped the Building Schools for the Future programme which would have provided money.
November 2007 - Council leader Derek Osbourne defies parental pressure for new school saying case not yet proven
December 2008 - Council says 'balance has tipped' and new secondary school is needed
July 2009 - Council announces plans for secondary school split between North Kingston centre and Hawker Centre
July 2009 - Residents boo and jeer plans for 'superschool' in north Kingston centre
June 2010 - Residents given six weeks to shape plan for school
January 2011 - Church of England loses its bid to open free secondary school in favour of council-led school
October 2011 - Desperate council considers PFI funding for school
April 2012 - Kingston school hit by funding delay
May 2013 - KET free school bid approved for school for 180 children to open in September 2014
July 2013 - Delays to school opening announced as opening set back to September 2015

Vice-presidential picks are always judged by their effect on the coming election. They rarely have any.
They haven't had a decisive influence since Lyndon Johnson carried Texas for John Kennedy in 1960. (That and Illinois put Kennedy over the top.) This time, however, the effect could be significant. The Democrats' Mediscare barrage is already in full swing. Paul Ryan, it seems, is determined to dispossess Grandmother, then toss her over a cliff. If the charge is not successfully countered, good-bye Florida.

TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas - A deadly crash in Western Travis County has some neighbors speaking out. They say the intersection near their home is dangerous and could soon get a lot worse.
Sunday evening a 2 vehicle collision killed 1 person and injured 3 others at the intersection of SH 71 and Vail Divide. People who live in this community say it's something they see all too often.
As the sun sets over Bee Cave, drivers see an all too familiar sight.
"As we were coming home, coming over the hill, here we are with the lights and sirens, at it again," said Falconhead West homeowner Robert Lerma.
Lerma and his neighbors say Western Travis County has grown quickly over the past couple of years and the traffic has too.
"We pretty much hear on a weekly basis, sometimes daily, ambulances and police cars going up and down," he described.
With talk of a new car dealership going in down the road they worry it will only get worse. Many homeowners have signs up in the front yard that read "No Covert Car Dealership in Bee Cave," hoping to stop the dealership from building in a spot they believe is already dangerous.
"You have an increase in traffic, you have the signals that kind of, are at the top of a hill, traffic is coming east and west," Lerma said.
Neighbors like Lerma say they hope changes will be made on this road because Sunday's deadly crash is one too many.
Some residents say they are planning a protest at the Bee Cave city council meeting, hoping plans for the car dealership will not move forward.

KrellThe Krell Piano Company was established by Albert Krell and his sons Alexander and Albert, Jr., in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1889. Alexander Krell died in 1895, and Albert Sr. died in 1900, leaving Albert Krell Jr. to run operations. Albert went into partnership with Jesse French to create the Krell-French Piano Company of Springfield, Ohio, but their factory was destroyed by fire soon after. Pianos continued to be made under the name 'Krell' and 'Krell-French'. In 1905 Albert left Krell-French to start the Auto-Grand Piano Company in Indiana. The Krell name continued to be produced until about 1950. The few extant Krell pianos that we have seen come through our shop have been of very good quality, indicating that Krell produced a higher grade piano than average.
