Kudos to Florida REALTOR® magazine for its substantive look at how to deal with appraisal issues that come up during a sale. The article quotes National Association of REALTORS® Real Estate Valuation Committee member Francois "Frank" Gregoire. Gregoire told Florida REALTOR®'s Richard Westlund that salespeople can be a valued source of information. "As soon as a property is under contract, start gathering information to support the sales price. Be sure to include information that may not be readily available from other sources, such as offers and how quickly the property went under contract," he said in the article.
The article also cites the new suite of appraiser tools available to NAR members through the Realtors Property Resource®. To learn more about RPR and its use in appraisals, visit: http://blog.narrpr.com/appraisers/.

In March, a joint study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Center for Community Capital and the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT) found that owners of ENERGY STAR-rated homes are one-third less likely to default on a mortgage than the average borrower. Home Energy Efficiency and Mortgage Risks used a sample of 71,000 home loans from 38 states and the District of Columbia, all derived from CoreLogic's mortgage database. The sample was restricted to single-family, owner-occupied houses whose loans originated during 2002–2012 and were used for purchase only. The focus of the study was on owner likelihood to default or prepay and not on the contributory value of energy efficiency features.
"We were quite surprised by the numbers," said Nikhil Kaza, assistant professor of city and regional planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and one of the study's authors. "We thought there would be some association between energy efficiency and mortgage risk, but we did not expect such a large association."
More research is needed to determine causation, though a recent article from NBC's Today Show, offers a telling anecdote. The Today Show profiles an Olympia, Wash., couple who paid a premium to make their 2,000-square-foot home energy efficient but were enjoying greatly reduced carrying costs as a result. "They pay a measly $70 a year to heat and cool the place," the show's Web site says.
The survey's finding of a strong link between energy efficient homes and loan performance puts attention on underwriting practices that today don't account for efficiency, said Center director Roberto G. Quercia, a co-author. "Consumer and industry acceptance of energy efficiency is high. But the lack of broad consideration of potential energy savings in the mortgage underwriting process still prevents many moderate- and middle-income home buyers from fully enjoying the cost savings," said Quercia. "Since our study findings now show that energy efficiency is strongly and consistently associated with lower mortgage lending risk, lenders and policymakers have one more reason to promote it."
IMT has been working for several years on the Sensible Accounting to Value Energy (SAVE) Act. The bill is an attempt to develop standards for valuing energy efficiency in the appraisal and mortgage underwriting processes. On June 6, 2013, Senators Bennet (D-CO) and Isakson (R-GA) introduced SAVE in the Senate as S. 1106. The GovTrack website summarizes SAVE as "a bill to improve the accuracy of mortgage underwriting used by federal mortgage agencies by ensuring that energy costs are included in the underwriting process, to reduce the amount of energy consumed by homes, to facilitate the creation of energy efficiency retrofit and construction jobs, and for other purposes."
The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has worked with IMT over several years to minimize the impact on older homes and worked to ensure that the proposed legislation did not stigmatize or disadvantage older homes in any way. On June 5, NAR send a letter to Senators Bennet and Isakson, applauding their efforts on the bill.
- Don't restrict the appraiser from making an appointment to inspect the property (if your MLS uses an appointment system, use it. You will be notified of the appraiser's site inspection).
- If an appraiser calls, be responsive and provide as much information as needed. Return the call promptly even if your listing has closed. (Brokers are the expert source of information on your listing.)
- Be as descriptive in MLS as possible about your listing and include as many photos as your MLS system will allow (include photos of: Front, Rear, Street, and ALL major rooms & property features).
- Don't use or reference tax records as your source of information. Do the proper legwork on your listing; it builds significant long-term credibility among your peers and local appraisers.
- Distinguish "above-grade" living area from "below-grade" living area in your MLS, particularly the quality of finish in below-grade living area, attics, bonus rooms, decks, porches, and so on.
- Provide an "Appraisers Package" in advance, and have it available at the property when the appraiser is inspecting the property, or meet the appraiser at the property so that you can answer any questions or inform the appraiser of the unique features of the property or neighborhood. Make sure you allow the appraiser the space and time to complete their inspection (Appraisers Package could include plats, surveys, deeds, covenants, HOA documents, floor plans, specifications, inspection reports, neighborhood details, recent similar-quality comparables, detailed list and dates of upgrades and remodels, and energy-efficient green features).
- Provide a fully executed copy of the purchase contract, with all addenda.
- Explain, to the seller or buyer that the roll of the appraiser is not to confirm the sales price but to provide the lender an independent, objective and impartial opinion of the value of the underlying collateral which the loan would be based on. Provide the seller or the Buyer a copy of the brochure developed by The Appraisal Foundation entitled "A Guide to Understanding a Residential Appraisal," available from NAR to view or download at http://www.realtor.org/appraisal/a-guide-to-understanding-a-residential-appraisal.
- Real estate salespeople and consumers can be present during the appraisal inspection. Make sure all parties allow the appraiser the space and time to complete their appraisal inspection, uninterrupted.
- Make sure the property condition (inside and outside) is the best possible for the appraisal inspection, and inform the seller that interior and exterior photos (and measurements) must be taken by the appraiser.
The Appraisal Foundation Press Release on the Alliance for Valuation Education:
April 26, 2013
Paula Douglas Seidel
Executive Administrator
The Appraisal Foundation
direct phone 202.624.3048
Washington, DC — The Appraisal Foundation (TAF) and its Sponsoring Organizations have formed a national education partnership, the Alliance for Valuation Education (AVE), an organization dedicated to providing greater availability of consistent, quality valuation education. The AVE will be composed of TAF and 11 of its Sponsoring Organizations (Alliance Sponsors).
"Having these organizations work in collaboration with one another has been an evolutionary process based on their input and recommendations. It just makes sense," stated Steven Elliott, Chair of TAF's Board of Trustees. "This is an important and long overdue first step in combining our resources for the benefit of the entire valuation profession," he added. Elliott went on to say, "A common complaint heard from states over recent years is the lack of available quality educational offerings. It is our hope that the Alliance will reduce an education provider's cost to develop certain courses, thereby allowing them to focus more on delivering courses in underserved areas."
The AVE is the result of the work of the National Education Partnership Task Force, which was appointed by TAF's Board of Trustees in May 2012. The Task Force included representatives from several of TAF's Sponsoring Organizations as well as the Association of Appraiser Regulatory Officials.
The AVE will be:
- established as a new 501(c)3 not-for -profit organization, separate from TAF and its Sponsoring Organizations. The Appraisal Foundation's Congressionally authorized Boards, the Appraisal Standards Board and the Appraiser Qualifications Board, will not be involved in the governance or operation of the AVE.
- governed by a seven member Board of Regents appointed by the Alliance Sponsors and TAF. One of the Regent positions will be an elected at-large seat, open to the general public.
- composed of TAF and Sponsoring Organizations of TAF in good standing who elect to become a Sponsor of the Alliance. The Appraisal Foundation Sponsors may elect to not join the AVE.
- a developer of educational materials, but not a presenter of the education. The AVE will be a wholesaler rather than a retailer, using a model similar to what TAF currently utilizes with the National USPAP Courses.
- providing the education materials to all educational providers.
The initial focus will be real property continuing education, with topics possibly drawn from Valuation Advisories issued by the Appraisal Practices Board. The education developed by the AVE will be voluntary; any educational provider will be able to continue to develop similar education and appraisers would not be required to take AVE education.
In the future, the AVE may give consideration to developing other valuation discipline education, including both personal property and business valuation, basic qualifying education for real property appraisers (e.g.Basic Appraisal Principles and Basic Appraisal Procedures) and remedial real property education.
The appointed members of the Board of Regents will be selected by the Alliance Sponsors and the TAF Board of Trustees at their upcoming meetings in May in Savannah, Georgia. The organizational meeting of the AVE Board of Regents will occur this summer and it is anticipated that the first AVE course could be available in the first quarter of 2014.
The Board of Trustees of TAF would like to recognize the members of the National Education Partnership Task Force for their excellent work, dedication to the profession and vision:
National Education Partnership Task Force
- David Layne, Chair
- Charles Blau, National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers
- Don Dorchester, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
- Mike Evans, Board of Trustees, The Appraisal Foundation
- Mark Grace, American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers
- Heidi Henning, National Association of Realtors
- Don Rodgers, Association of Appraiser Regulatory Officials
- Magdalene Vasquez, Staff Member, The Appraisal Foundation
- Alice Ritter, Appraisal Subcommittee (non-voting observer)
- Ted Freeman, Appraiser Qualifications Board (non-voting observer)
The Hotline is an information resource to help complainants determine the appropriate legal authority to receive their complaint involving allegations of non-compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) or appraisal independence requirements.
How it works:
You may contact the Hotline through the website, email, or call center. The Hotline provides referral information to complainants based on responses to a series of questions and drop-down menu selections. The complainant is provided with agency contact information for filing of a complaint. The website also offers tools and resources to enable complainants to determine the nature of their complaint, as well as other helpful information. If you seek to file a complaint against more than one party, proceed with a separate referral request for each party.
Access the Hotline at:
Toll free number: 877-739-0096
From the Appraisal Foundation:
The Appraisal Foundation is conducting its annual search for qualified candidates to serve on the Appraisal Practices Board and the Board of Trustees. The deadline for completed applications is fast approaching on April 2, 2013.
Details for each are outlined below. Please note, however, that an individual may submit an application for the Appraisal Practices Board or the Board of Trustees, but not both boards at this time.
Appraisal Practices Board
There are four vacancies on the Appraisal Practices Board (APB). The APB is charged with the responsibility of issuing voluntary guidance on recognized valuation methods and techniques, which may apply to all disciplines within the appraisal profession. The APB meets periodically through WebEx meetings and conference calls. In addition to these calls, there may be one to two in-person meetings each year. Individuals serving on the board are compensated for their time and reimbursed for travel expenses. Those selected for APB positions will serve a one-, two-, or three-year term commencing on July 1, 2013.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees of The Appraisal Foundation is charged with funding the work of and appointing members to the APB, AQB and ASB, as well as providing oversight of these three Boards. The Board of Trustees meets twice a year, in the spring and fall. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses and are not compensated for their time. The individuals selected for positions on the Board of Trustees will serve three-year terms commencing January 1, 2014.
Application packages and additional details for the At-Large Trustee vacancies are available here.

Review: Full Screen Caller ID Free for Android is ad happy, but it works well
Full Screen Caller ID Free for Android lives up to its name with big, bright contact cards, but it goes a little overboard with ads. Of course, there's a paid version that gets rid of those and unlocks some extra features. You can change so many things about the free version, though, that you might not ever need to pay.
Full Screen Caller ID Free for Android fills your entire screen with a picture of your contact whenever they call. Interestingly, it makes the contact card appear whenever they text you, too. This gets a little annoying if you'… Read more

On the fence here
Due for upgrade and will be getting about $350 bonus. Is the phone worth the extra $100 over the SIII? So confused I am going back and forth like a lunatic.

Re: On the fence here
The Note 2 is a bigger/better S3. Basically put, the S3 will get you through the work day. The Note 2 will get you through the WHOLE day. I have both phones and it would take some serious pain to go back to the S3 now.
Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things,
because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Re: On the fence here
After you get this phone you will wonder why you ever posed the question. It is THAT much better than everything else available. The Note 2 is the most impressive device I have ever used to date. You won't be disappointed. You won't have regrets.
In fact, my wife made me exchange the S3 that I got her for her birthday and get her a Note 2 after she used mine for a day. Her first impression was that it is too big. A few hours later she was laughing at the S3 in her hand. She is really reluctant to spend extra money ever, but immediately saw the value when she had both devices in front of her. She is sure the Note 2 can get her through a two-year contract, but wasnt convinced about the S3--even though she initially liked the S3. Note 2 for the win (and my wife couldn't be happier) - 12-10-2012, 02:13 PM #9
Re: On the fence here
The screen is bigger and from what I've seen better. The battery lasts twice as long. The S pen is so choice. I could go on and on about this device. Everything is insanely fast. Buy it, you don't regret it. Once you get over the size, which took me about 2 hours of use, you'll ask yourself why you even posted this thread. - 12-10-2012, 02:43 PM #10
Re: On the fence here
I somehow found someone willing to trade me his like new note 2 for my like new s3 straight up. I am nothing short of amazed with the note 2. I was pretty blown away with the s3 then the note 2 takes it a step further.
I havent even used the s-pen. Not really my thing although I considered making formula sheets with it (im in college). Battery really does last longer amd im really blown away in that aspect. Its seems to be the norm to have 5 hours screen on time.
Screen does look better than the s3, although I didnt find the s3 screen any slouch.

Re: On the fence here
I concur!
Battery life alone is worth getting the note 2 over the s3 for me. Also I use mine for work quite a bit
so the huge display is an enormous plus for me as well. These 2 factors along with the the other
goodies that the note 2 offers made it whole lot easier to hand my s3 over to my 14yr old daughter
(who is still on unlimited as well). She's in love! It's win win! - 12-10-2012, 04:13 PM #12
Re: On the fence here
2 hours was about right....almost, I mean almost regretted not getting the DNA, but after the couple hours I was so happy that I paid(cough cough) retail for myself. Now my GF brought home the DNA, and I love my note2 even more after playing on that. The note2 is the phone to own, untill the s4 or note3.......It was my bday/xmas to myself. New years......hmmm
Re: On the fence here
If it helps, the reception on the Note 2 is definitely better than the S3. I'm averaging around 30 Mbits/sec LTE downloads. The S3 was getting in the 19-23 Mbits/sec range in the same location. We can also make calls from areas that are dead with the S3. Reception seems a bit better than I had with the HTC Rezound, which I always felt was pretty strong. It's almost, dare I say, Moto-like.

Re: On the fence here
Thanks for all the replies. Still not sure I should spend the money. I still need to get a case and screen protector for it. How much is this going to cost me? Although if I go to best buy and someone had a great deal I can get a price match.
So what exactly are some of the things that it can do that the s3 can't. Also does the camera do the fat shooting to get a bunch of pictures to capture the right moment?
Thanks again all,

Re: On the fence here
This phone is amazing! My hubby had the S3 (he had iphone before that) and I really liked it but waited for the GN2. I am not disappointed AT ALL that I didn't just jump and get the S3. The battery on this phone is amazing and I actually use my s-pen daily so it really was a factor in my decision to purchase. My videos are incredible to watch on it and folks are ALWAYS sneaking peeks at the screen if I'm on my phone at the grocery store (I make my shopping list in S-notes and cross items off as I go), sitting at restaurants, visiting friends and so on. I have never been happier with a phone EVER and I haven't put it down (except to sleep and maybe to eat...LOL) since I got it (another nod to the amazing battery life). Trust me (and everyone else here) you will LOVE it.
Re: On the fence here
After 4 long years with apple and making the jump to android I couldn't be happier with the s3. That said I played with the Note2 at the store and find myself wanting one. Of course by the time I'm due for an upgrade the s4 will most likely be on sale.

Re: On the fence here
Yea thanks all. So have you ever gotten your phone from Best Buy. Amazon Mobile has it for $279.99 and BB does the price matching. I would love to save the money so I can get the case too. I am thinking I am just gonna say screw it and get it. I have 14 days if I don't like it.
Keep the info coming everyone.

Re: On the fence here
I have been obsessing about this phone for over a month. I have read every line of every thread here, and everywhere else. I have been going in circles and driving myself crazy. I finally just ordered the Seidio Active case and holster... Now I don`t have a choice - I have to buy the damn thing. Suddenly the two ton gorilla is off my back and I can finally breath again. Now I can get my life back! Thank you Jesus!
Re: On the fence here
If you buy it at Best Buy they give you 30 days to return it in exchange for something else. They also give you 3 days to return it for a full refund and walk away. I had them price match one for me and one for my wife when I exchanged the his and hers S3s I picked up the day before Thanksgiving. - 12-11-2012, 12:31 PM #22
Re: On the fence here
it's a no-brainer for me. This is the first phone (since my Treo 600 back in the day) that people just go ape over. I love it. Yes, it's huge but I've had no problem carrying it around nor using it for all my phone duties. It's been awesome on my first business trip with it; no briefcase at all. Phone, BT headset and retractable micro USB charger went with me in my suit pockets. Mac Book Air got left at home. Didn't even need the charger (day trip to Charlotte) but nice to have it regardless. Email, nav duties, music/video on plane, working with Evernote a little - handles it all with aplomb. Boss was very jealous - think he's going to dump his iPhone to get a GN2 off contract he liked it so much!
Re: On the fence here
Not even a question... Best phone on Verizon... And will stay that way until the s4... And even then it still might be the best phone on Verizon.... Depending on what the s4 brings to the table.

"...The Harder They Fall" is a coming of age story from the streets of Brooklyn to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica
Nearly twelve years after the death of his mother, and with an ever growing distance between him and his father, 12-year-old Jabari is on the road to nowhere – and fast. After getting kicked out of school and putting his life in danger, Jabari's father, Wayne, decides that the only option is to send his son to stay with his grandparents in Settlement, Jamaica, with the hope that the older couple will have better luck reaching the boy. Will Jabari bridge the gap between his anger over a childhood lost and embrace the young manhood that awaits him, or will his future be lost forever?

- Council weighs in on CTS cleanup
By the time the Downtown Master Plan came before the Asheville City Council May 12, they were just about the only group in town that hadn't already commented on it.
The two-year process of crafting the plan entailed some 5,000 hours of volunteer time, mostly by members of the Downtown Master Plan Advisory Committee, said project manager Sasha Vrtunski. David Dixon of consultants Goody Clancy said he's received thousands of comments through a series of well-attended community forums and via e-mail.
On top of the $170,000 paid to Goody Clancy, city staff put in about $30,000 worth of time, according to Vrtunski. The plan was originally slated to be unveiled to the public last winter, but the deadline was pushed back so advisory committee members could try to work out their differences. The plan's presentation to Council, originally scheduled for March, was also delayed to allow for more back-and-forth between the committee and the consultants.
During that time, the project received extensive media attention, and the draft plan posted online drew objections from assorted community activists. Meanwhile, the Downtown Commission, Technical Review Committee and Planning & Zoning Commission have all given the document a thumbs-up. Not to mention that by the time Dixon stood before Council two hours into its five-hour session, he and his team had already given the same presentation four times that very day.
The first of those appearances, at a 9 a.m. meeting in the city's Office of Economic Development on Haywood Street, served as both a dress rehearsal and a pep rally.
In attendance were members of the Downtown Commission and the advisory committee, and Pat Whalen, who serves on on both groups, noted that although the advisory committee included some folks who were polar opposites, they'd somehow managed to find common ground. (See commentary, "The Long Road Toward Harmony," elsewhere in this issue.)
"This has been two years of work. Let's send it off in a good way," Whalen urged.
Vice Mayor Jan Davis was also on hand. Serving on the Downtown Commission, he said, had familiarized him with the plan, but he cautioned that his Council colleagues would probably raise questions about certain elements, particularly the recommended development-review process ("because that's what [City Council is] involved in") and the "community improvement district," previously called the "business improvement district" (see "Taking Care of BIDness," March 18 Xpress). City leaders, noted Davis, may be sensitive to any implication that they need help supplying essential services to downtown.
The warning came despite the fact that the Council agenda listed the item as merely an opportunity for Council members to hear the presentation and ask questions. The public hearing and formal deliberation would not come for another two weeks, and implementing some plan elements could take years. But with Council members up for re-election this year, noted Davis, some might seize the opportunity to take a political stand. "It is the silly season," he observed.
In the event, however, Davis proved to be only partly right. Council members did target both the development-review and CID components, but speechifying was kept to a minimum, and much of the discussion centered on the community's involvement and investment in the plan.
"This is a community that wanted seriously to plan for their future and to act upon it," Dixon told Council. And the final draft, he said, is an attempt to "make sure they all saw themselves in this plan, whether they were artists or business owners or developers."
Architect Tom Gallaher, who worked with the consultants as a local liaison, pointed out that it has already generated some momentum in the community. Among the plan's many recommendations, for example, is establishing an artists' resource center, and one local group is already discussing how to make it happen. "The plan is ready to be implemented -- and in some ways [is] already being implemented," said Gallaher.
Council member Robin Cape noted that community concern over proposed changes in the process for reviewing new development had prompted her to meet with people involved in the project to find out more about what she called "those sticky wickets." But she added, "I'm excited about the foundation it's given us."
On the same theme, Council member Brownie Newman indicated that he'll want more discussion of the proposed review process, in which existing, Council-appointed bodies would have the final say on most new development, with only the largest projects ever coming before Council. That seems to fit with recent experience, he noted, citing such controversial projects as The Ellington hotel/condos, which City Council approved amid considerable furor.
"It's kind of the big ones people have questions about," said Newman, adding, "When I look at this chart, it looks like the big ones that come back here."
But Council members, he maintained, will always rely on opinions and impressions as well as hard technical guidelines. The massive Haywood Park project, for instance, was withdrawn after Council complained that it was out of scale with its surroundings. "Don't bring it to us if you don't want our opinion," Newman warned.
Council member Carl Mumpower, meanwhile, had both general and specific criticisms of the plan. "I do not think efforts to exert control downtown is the best use of our time and resources," he observed.
Most of his attention, however, was focused on the proposed community improvement district, in which owners of businesses within the downtown district would pay a special tax to fund enhanced services managed by an independent body. Downtown property, said Mumpower, already generates a good portion of the city's tax base, and property owners have a right to expect a certain level of service in return. Even more controversial is the "community benefits plan," which calls for taxing all property transfers and new development within a specified area to provide a funding source for downtown initiatives approved by City Council. The advisory committee's pro-development faction has vehemently opposed the plan, Vrtunsky noted, saying, "We know that's not a widely loved idea."
Davis, himself a downtown property owner, said he shares those concerns, at least for the time being. "I'm not sure I'm ready to sign off on this either," he revealed. "But someday, I might have some interest in that."
But the vice mayor, who was running the meeting because Mayor Terry Bellamy was caring for a sick child, pointed out that there's a lot more in the plan than can be addressed in a 20-minute presentation, urging city residents to bone up on it in preparation for the public hearing.
Meanwhile, community response is already coming in. Activist Steve Rasmussen, who bent the consultants' ears at several public forums, has circulated an e-mail criticizing the lack of an appeals mechanism for residents in the proposed development-review system.
Council took no formal action other than unanimously setting Tuesday, May 26, as the date for the public hearing and Council vote on whether to accept the plan. Implementing its various components and recommendations would require separate Council votes at some future time. The proposed master plan is available online at www.ashevillenc.gov/downtownmasterplan.
City urges CTS cleanup
The former CTS site on Mills Gap Road -- the subject of prolonged and continuing controversy concerning the contamination of neighboring residents' wells -- is not within the city's jurisdiction. But that didn't prevent Council members from taking a stand on negotiations between the Elkhart, Ind.-based CTS Corp. and the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources concerning voluntary remedial action.
Under state law, such a deal would cap the company's liability for cleaning up the site at $3 million. But residents say the deal would let CTS off the hook without accomplishing the needed cleanup. In a May 5 letter to Gov. Bev Perdue's office, the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners urged that the discussion not result in allowing "those responsible to limit their accountability" (see "Buncombe Commissioners," April 29 Xpress).
A similar resolution opposing the agreement and calling for a "full and proper cleanup" was originally on Council's consent agenda (items typically approved as a group without discussion), but at Mumpower's request, the resolution was set aside so that Council could consider including stronger language.
Cape agreed, saying it needed to convey the message that the site is a serious hazard and that cleanup is long overdue. "Voluntary remediation would have been great if it had been done in a timely manner," she said. "We don't need you to tell us whether you think it is a threat. We want you to be reminded that it is a threat."
That position was backed by comments from neighbors of the site who spoke during a public-comment period.
"This is completely voluntary; there's nothing forceable about this," resident Barry Durand said about the proposed deal. "This is an incredible golden parachute for everyone."
Resident Tate MacQueen agreed, proclaiming, "We cannot have a voluntary remediation by the very criminal who committed the crime."
Council members unanimously approved the amended resolution. "This is something we don't have to do, but it's good when local government steps out and takes a position," noted Davis.

Message to the community from Luren
E. Dickinson:
Hard times
can be good times for libraries. Records from the Great Depression, as well as
regional library statistics from a recent issue of the Plain Dealer,
seem to bear this out. Certainly, usage rates at the Shaker Heights Public
Library reached record levels for the third straight year in 2008, making us
one of the busiest libraries in the country, on a per capita basis. Taking the
recent population decline into account, we are certainly in the top ten, if not
the top five, in the nation with over 45 items checked out annually per person!
Does this
prove we have entered another depression era? Not necessarily. Even the latest
state unemployment numbers show no state has yet reached double-digit unemployment.
Things might not even be so bad in the Buckeye State as some would have us
believe. Joblessness, for example, has increased faster in 28 states than it
has in Ohio. Granted, we could do better, but in tough times libraries are
wonderful places that offer free programs and services, and a sense of place
where communities can come together. There is an old library adage that reads,
"Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get
you through times of no libraries." Our
doors are open and our materials and services are free. Take advantage of us.
Times are
tough these days, maybe not to the degree of the Great Depression, but the
library is here to help. You can learn a new skill at the library by taking one

In 2009, the Library has joined with the
Coalition on the Public Understanding of Science (COPUS) in a celebratory year of science to share how science
works, what it is like to be a scientist, and why science matters. We believe
that science is important and will emphasize it all year long in our programs.
The word science comes from the Latin "scientia" meaning knowledge, and
knowledge is power! Where do you go to getknowledge? The Library. We offer knowledge for all age levels in a variety
of formats - books, audiobooks, videos, or digital.
Heights Public Library has much offer and we want to make it easier for you to
borrow our material while helping others.

materials plus a non-perishable food item for each overdue magazine, book, CD,
DVD or video and the Library will waive your fines and donate the food to
Shaker Heights Community Hunger
Center. (Food items will be accepted for overdue fines owed to the Shaker
Heights Public Library only, and not as payment for lost or damaged library
material.) Join us in our Have-A-Heart campaign. Not only will you clear your
library card and be able to borrow more free material from us, but you will
also help the less fortunate.
your library and thrive, don't just survive, in 2009!

Alex Shelley
Real Name
Patrick Martin
Date of Birth
May 23, 1983
Place of Birth
While management has halted his push because of a poor reaction from the audience at Elimination Chamber 2014, there is still a chance that Darren Young will be working the Wrestlemania 30 show. He and his former teammate Titus ONeil are both candidates to be entrants in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal that weekend.
March 16, 2014
Since management was disappointed at the crowd reaction that was received during the match between Darren Young and Titus ONeil at Elimination Chamber 2014, the former Prime Time Players are being scaled back a bit, and their respective pushes are being placed on hold. Their feud has not being featured on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown since the pay per view.
March 9, 2014
After getting married to the lovely Maryse Ouellet in the Bahamas, the Miz opted to skip his honeymoon and head to Minnesota to work the kickoff show panel for Elimination Chamber 2014. It was a rather interesting move, as many felt that he could have been given the time off to celebrate his nuptials because of his limited role on the pay per view.
February 27, 2014
During the Smackdown taping, it was announced that there would be a big Elimination Chamber 2014 rematch on Monday Night Raw featuring Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan taking on Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. The belief is that this is being done to further the friction between Ambrose and Reigns.
February 26, 2014
Once you get into that WWE dog house, it's pretty hard to get out. Management has sent more messages to Ryback this month. First, he and Curtis Axel are utilized as a filler tag team during the Elimination Chamber 2014 kickoff match. This week, the two of them are paired up with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre in an eight man tag team match on WWE Superstars.
February 26, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were given a victory over Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, in order to get some heat back after losing at Elimination Chamber 2014. Apparently, WWE does not feel that it is important enough to include in the Hulu broadcast of the show this week. Despite that, the Usos are still expected to be on the Wrestlemania 30 main card.
February 25, 2014
Those who watched Elimination Chamber 2014 and Monday Night Raw this week, witnessed the WWE audience turning on Batista because they do not approve of his push and his attitude towards the fans since returning. Mick Foley posted this message on Twitter, stating that he has never seen anything like it before in his long career.
February 24, 2014
Even though he was not booked for Elimination Chamber 2014, Big Show is still very much in contention for a coveted match at Wrestlemania 30. Right now, WWE simply had nothing for him from the creative department. Plus, he replaced the Great Khali on an overseas promotional tour of India. He should be back on television soon.
February 24, 2014
Even though they lost at Elimination Chamber 2014, there are talks that Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso could be given a rematch tonight on Monday Night Raw. Since WWE wants it to be a special episode, they're wanting at least one title change to take place. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn could be the casualties of the creative department tonight.
February 24, 2014
At this point in time, it is all but assured that Batista will be headlining Wrestlemania 30. Randy Orton is expected to retain the belt at Elimination Chamber 2014, so the two of them will be working the main event in April together. The belief is that he will be given the WWE Championship that night and be pushed through the fall when his movie comes out.
February 24, 2014
A lot of fans were disappointed with how things ended at Elimination Chamber 2014. While the performers did a great job, many were disappointed that WWE opted to have Randy Orton defeat Daniel Bryan to retain his championship. Mick Foley shared those sentiments by posting this message on his Twitter account.
February 24, 2014
Just like so many wrestlers now do on Twitter, Konnan posted this message on the WWE pay per view tonight. He was not pleased with Elimination Chamber 2014, and even went as far as to say that this is the reason why he does not pay money to watch the product nowadays. Konnan even stated that the show was a rip off.
February 24, 2014
As predicted by many, Randy Orton walked away from Elimination Chamber 2014 with the WWE Championship. Sheamus, Christian and Antonio Cesaro were the first eliminated. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan helped to eliminate John Cena. Finally, Kane attacked Daniel Bryan, which enabled Orton to pick up the victory and earn his spot in the main event next month.
February 23, 2014
As expected, Batista defeated Alberto Del Rio in a grudge match at Elimination Chamber 2014. Del Rio attempted to trick Batista at the beginning of the match by coming out in crutches and a track suit. Pin fall ending came after Del Rio was nailed by an exposed turnbuckle and a Batista Bomb. Lot of crowd heat against Batista during the match.
February 23, 2014
In a filler match at Elimination Chamber 2014, AJ Lee was able to retain the WWE Divas Championship because she lost by disqualification when Tamina Snuka attacked Cameron, who was a last minute challenger, on the outside of the ring.
February 23, 2014
In an extremely exciting six man tag team match at Elimination Chamber 2014, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan were able to claim victory over Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.
February 23, 2014
In a grudge match between the Prime Time Players, Titus ONeil defeated Darren Young at Elimination Chamber 2014.
February 23, 2014
Experience defeated youth at Elimination Chamber 2014, as Billy Gunn and Road Dogg were successfully able to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship by defeating Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso.
February 23, 2014
At Elimination Chamber 2014, Big E Langston successfully retained the WWE Intercontinental Championship by countering the ankle lock into a kick before hitting the Big Ending on Jack Swagger.
February 23, 2014
There are talks that WWE could add a divas match at the last minute to the Elimination Chamber 2014 pay per view. AJ Lee would obviously be one of the contestants since she still holds the belt. Cameron is a possible challenger, as the company created some teaser graphics involving her recently. Natalya Neidhart has stated that she is training for the event, so she is a candidate as well.
February 23, 2014
While he has no plans to stop working for New Japan any time soon, Alex Shelley noted that he was going to be making his return to independent wrestling here in the United States later on this month. He has not expressed any desires to return to TNA, and WWE appears to have very little interest in signing him to a developmental deal.
March 7, 2014
Another interesting name that is being thrown around as a candidate to join Jeff Jarrett in his new wrestling promotion is Alex Shelley, who has been making a name for himself in New Japan over the last year. The two worked together in TNA, and Shelley might be enticed to return to work in the USA.
January 31, 2014
Alex Shelley revealed how close he is to AJ Styles, whom he calls an older brother, by revealing that the Phenomenal One helped him out tremendously with his career.
December 18, 2013
Pictures surfaced online of TNA stars Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin smoking pot at a party.

Social media is the new water cooler, and because of that, it's no surprise that the relationship between social media and the entertainment world is increasingly starting to resemble a marriage.
The latest example of that: Twitter's new partnership with The X Factor USA.
Under the partnership, Twitter's direct messaging functionality will become a voting tool, giving viewers with a Twitter account an alternative means of voting for their favorite contestants.
As explained on the Twitter blog:
To vote, follow @TheXFactorUSA. Then submit your vote through a Direct Message (a private way to communicate on Twitter) so as not to spoil the results. All votes are sent directly to The X Factor to be counted. Tweets do not count as votes.
On one hand, using Twitter's direct messaging functionality seems like a less-than-ideal way of creating a digital voting experience for a television show.
Yes, a vote is a 'message', but so too is an email, and The X Factor isn't accepting votes by email for reasons that are fairly obvious.
On the other hand, however, there's no denying that Twitter has become a popular hub for engagement around television programming. The vote-by-DM method may be somewhat clunky, but Hollywood knows a thing or two about the importance of audiences and Twitter has an attractive online audience.
Allowing viewers to vote via DM could also be one way for the producers of The X Factor to obtain more meaningful data about viewers. As noted recently, there's still a lot we don't know about the relationship between television and social media, and initiatives like this could help change that.
At the end of the day, whether viewers of The X Factor will flock to Twitter to vote remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: television networks and studios will continue to invest in building buzz and facilitating interaction on platforms like Twitter, even if all they have to go on is faith that the investments will pay off.
Up to this point, much of the promotion and engagement has been through basic channels (eg. a profile) and advertising (eg. Promoted Trends), but going forward we can expect tighter integrations like the one seen here.
