Jensen, a 30-year real estate veteran, will address that question – and provide a few different views – as guest speaker at the Memphis Investors Group's monthly meeting Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Germantown Athletic Club, 1801 Exeter Road.
The biggest problem, Jensen noted, is the city's leaders don't spend enough time focused on job creation, the biggest economic impact for a metropolitan area. Without that, companies hesitate to invest here.
"We don't have enough priority in our community thinking about jobs creation – not just attracting new businesses here but making it an attractive place for existing businesses to expand," Jensen said. "Is our welcome mat out in the community?"
Moreover, he said the city isn't as "business friendly" as it once was, a huge detriment to attracting new companies or helping existing companies expand.
"I'm not so sure right now that we are (business friendly) as a community," he said. "I think that's one of the biggest problems – our reputation in the country."
But the city's problems aren't the messages he wants to convey to attendees at next week's Memphis Investors Group (MIG) meeting. Instead, Jensen wants to focus on the ABCs of the Memphis economy. For Jensen, it's important for Memphis business leaders, especially real estate professionals, to focus on the fundamentals of the city's economy.
That starts with the "A" for aerotropolis, the idea of building an economy around Memphis International Airport, a $22 billion engine.
"It's really putting a bow around what we really have," Jensen said. "We're sitting as one of the major, major, major nodes in the rail intermodal (industry) and with the airport. You put those two things together and there are a lot of communities around this country that would be mighty happy and mighty proud of having that in place."
Beyond that, Jensen touted the city's other assets. "B" is for biosciences industry, "C" is for its community assets like Shelby Farms Park and "D" is for its diversity. All those factors are keys to making Memphis more attractive to companies looking to expand their operations here, and the city – its governmental, business and cultural leaders – have to be on track with them for Memphis to thrive.
Jensen said he doesn't want to sound overly Pollyanna, but he noted that to attract more investment in the city, whether it's in retail, industrial, office or residential real estate, the city's good points have to be on display.
"If you're comfortable with a place," Jensen said, "then you'll invest your money there."
Kevin Peck, owner of the local investment firm Kevron Properties and MIG secretary, is comfortable investing his money in Memphis real estate and sees why the city, with its undervalued property values, has drawn interest from outside capital.
"We're a little bit better off," Peck said. "Prices have dropped here somewhat, just not cataclysmically as they have in other areas of the country."
Peck is looking specifically at the residential side of investing, where everyday people from Memphis and from outside are looking to buy city houses on the cheap with hopes of flipping or renting. But with credit so tight these days, even the real estate investment gig is evolving.
"You can't flip that house anymore because folks can't get credit to buy (and sell), but if you've got credit to buy and hold, then you're good to go," said Peck, noting that a large segment of the population was "wiped away" from getting a mortgage because of the fallout. "On the flip side, that (situation) created renters, so if you're buying and holding for rent, then some things are OK. We buy and hold and rent, and we're finding that we're doing OK. You can invest in real estate here and make it have good cash flow."
Ultimately, Peck said, that's why city homes will continue to be bought even during this economic and real estate slump.
"You can still buy a property for a good price, and if you're smart about it, you can make it cash flow and make some money," he said. "I think that's why Memphis is attractive to folks."
In addition to Jensen's talk, the MIG monthly meeting begins with an "early bird" session at 6 p.m. This month's topics include "Networking 101," "Getting Started Right in Real Estate" and "Investing in Your Self-Directed IRA."

It is currently 11,000 square feet, but will have 14,000 square feet of useable space once complete. We will be able to triple our capacity for classes, operate a core program for students on a professional track, add community and adult classes and host other local dance groups that require a space with quality floors for safety and more room than they currently have access to. Pilates Central will operate a full service Pilates studio upstairs. NBE is a stakeholder in Heart of the Arts in partnership with Playhouse on the Square. We are two minutes down the street from the new theater location, where we will be able to rent performance space.

Namibia Food and Drink Report Q2 2013
Report description
Poverty is endemic in Namibia; despite its relatively high per capita income (estimated to be about US $5,300 in 2012), inequality and high unemployment (estimated by the World Bank at 40%) has kept much of this wealth concentrated in relatively few hands. The government has sought to address this, and the outlook for private consumption may improve markedly as the number of wage-earners expands.
Inflation had ticked up to 7.1% year-on-year as of October 2012 but remains in single digits, and we expect it will begin to moderate in Q113, not least due to statistical base effects. With price growth under control, the purchasing power of consumers will be preserved, boding well for household consumption.

Um, not really.
The worst nightmare is upgrading every computer in the office to Vista ... labor-intensively and manually, one by one.
Which is one of the reasons those XP machines are still out there.
The second-worst nightmare is a virus wiping all the hard disks in the company.
Which is why McAfee is still out there.
Third-worst, I'll grant you.

Hey Kris,
I've watched several of your tapping 101 lessons and started practicing tapping. However, I am not very successful at it. I have a Parker NiteFly Mojo guitar (similar to one you have but with SD pickups instead of dimarzio) with light gauge strings. I'm using a line6 amp with high gain, etc. I am trying to practice the simple 19-15-12 Em arpeggio tapping lick you showed in lesson 1 on tapping, but when tapping with the pick hand finger on the 19th I'm getting very low sound that dies off quickly, unless I really hit the string so hard that it hurts. Am I doing something wrong? Or does the technique indeed involve hammering the finger into the string with such force that it's painful? In the video it doesn't look like you're using much force at all with you pick hand. Let me know. Thanks. |

This happens to everyone to begin with i think, your taps will ring out louder when the callus on your pick hand finger starts to develop. Keep practicing and it'll eventually come to you, you'll notice it . But also yes you do have to tap quite hard especially in the beginning

Well the gear doesn't seem to be the problem - so my quess is that you should be careful where you fretting.
If you are fretting (left hand) or tapping (right hand) above the actual frets your note swill die very quickly! -------------------- I do not have any natural talent at all - you can beat me with hard work.

Who are the world's craziest rulers?
With the deaths of Saparmurat Niyazov of Turkemenistan – a maniac so megalo- that he renamed the days of the week after himself and his family – and of Kim Jong-un – a golfer so talented that he shot 38 under par on his first ever round, including five holes-in-one – some feared that the golden age of the crazed dictator had gone for good.
But Yahya Jammeh's decision to leave the Commonwealth, and subsequent outlining of his more unpleasant characteristics, has reminded us that there are still some old-fashioned brutes plugging away out there – and, more soberingly, that there are millions of people around the world who have to bear the consequences of their capricious decisions. Here are the leaders most likely to send you scurrying to the emigration queue:
1) Vladimir Putin
A controversial choice, given that the Russian president's chosen persona is "cold-eyed and ruthless" rather than "where are the men in white coats?". But Bad Vlad is showing alarming (or, for the purposes of this list, encouraging) signs of buying into his own publicity. There's the semi-naked calendar shots, the paranoia about foreigners and homosexuals, the diving expedition when he miraculously stumbled across buried treasure. He's a tiger-taming, fire-fighting, judo-champion hardman who plays on Angela Merkel's fear of dogs just because he can. As such, he's certainly earned a place on this list, if only out of fear of what he'd do if he were denied one.
2) Kim Jong-un
North Korea's dauphin of derangement loses points for having inherited the world's most terrifying cult of personality, rather than having built it. To date, he has yet to add more than a few individual touches to a regime built around the worship of the Kim family as, effectively, living gods. Still, the fact that the Brilliant Comrade devotes much of his time to having his ex-lover murdered by firing squad in front of Pyongyang's leading pop groups and befriending Dennis Rodman, while also threatening South Korea and the West with nuclear annihilation, speaks of the capacity to be both mockable and terrifying that marks out the all-time greats.
3) Isaias Afewerki
Eritrea's first and only president might not be a household name, but since winning independence in 1991 he's done his best to build his own low-budget version of North Korea, pursuing a policy of complete self-reliance. His People's Front for Democracy and Justice is not just the ruling party, but the only legal political entity, with the country managing the remarkable feat of ranking even lower for freedom of the press than Kim Jong-un's. As for the great leader himself, he's such a true believer in Maoist ideology that – according to Wikileaks – he berated the Chinese for their shameful compromises with the market.
4) Mahmoud Abbas
A surprise entry, given the fact that the Palestinian president is normally seen as something of a moderating figure in Middle Eastern politics – certainly when compared to, say, Ayatollah Ali Khameini, the supreme leader of Iran. But while Khameini is happy to indulge in Holocaust denial, only Abbas has devoted a peer-reviewed thesis – and subsequent book – to the idea that not only was the death toll exaggerated, but the Nazis and Zionists were in secret collusion. (This academic masterwork was produced in Russia at a university run, bizarrely, by future prime minister Yevgeny Primakov.) Abbas has subsequently acknowledged that "the Holocaust was a terrible, unforgivable crime against the Jewish nation, a crime against humanity that cannot be accepted by humankind." But he still clings to his pet theory that the Nazis and Zionists were connected.
5) Yahya Jammeh
There are many rulers who hate homosexuals (see Putin, V and Mugabe, R). There are some who hate witches. But there's only one who thinks gays are more dangerous than earthquakes or tsunamis, or who rounds up suspected witches and forces them to drink nightmarish concoctions of his own devising. Stir in the fact that the Gambia's long-serving dictator claims to have invented his own cure for AIDS made from herbs and bananas, and you have, as I pointed out yesterday, a marvel of mania. Certainly, his withdrawal from the Commonwealth will save his fellow leaders some rather awkward conversations.
6) Robert Mugabe
Where would such a list be without Comrade Bob? Zimbabwe's 89-year-old autocrat believes that his, and his nation's, woes spring largely from the efforts of a cabal of homosexuals organised by "the gay government of the gay United gay Kingdom". Plus, he once proclaimed himself "the Hitler of the time" – not really a mantle that anyone else would want to pick up. Oh, and he's killed tens of thousands of his own citizens, and ruined his country's once-prosperous economy. Still, it's not all bad news. In 2000, the Zimbabwe Banking Corporation launched a prize lottery for its customers. The first winner: Robert Mugabe. What are the chances?
7) Nicolas Maduro
Were he still alive, Maduro's predecessor and mentor, Hugo Chavez, would be a shoo-in for this list. But his successor shows encouraging signs of developing the kind of persecution complex that can easily tip into full-on mania. As well as offering asylum to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, he's just expelled three US diplomats for collaborating with his opponents to wreck the Venezuelan economy and sabotage its power grid. In truth, with inflation running at more than 45 per cent, Maduro seems to be doing a fairly decent job of ruining his country without the Americans having to lift a finger.
8) Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo
Africa's longest-serving leader – having ousted his uncle in 1979 – the leader of Equitorial Guinea might seem a poster boy for normality; he even chaired the African Union between 2011 and 2012. But the cult of personality that he's constructed around himself eclipses even that of Robert Mugabe. In 2003, the state radio station declared him "the country's god", "in permanent contact with the Almighty" who "can decide to kill without anyone calling him to account and without going to hell". The same year, he took control of the national treasury to preserve it from corrupt civil servants, moving much of the money out of their greedy reach and into accounts he personally controlled. He's been accused by his enemies of cannibalism, and is said to attribute his reported prostate cancer to witchcraft.
Still, the real craziness might have to wait till his son Teodorin takes over – Obiang Jr being perhaps Africa's greatest spendthrift, who's reportedly used Guinea's oil wealth to order a $380 million yacht (which is, as we report, more than three times the combined health and education budgets). A reassuring sign, perhaps, that the next generation of power-crazed despots are just waiting for their own chance to shine.

The Emigrantsby W. G. Sebald
Staff Pick This unique book is a visionary rendering of documentary-quality clarity and fictional skill. The Emigrants is strangely haunting, and bewitchingly beautiful. As you turn the pages you'll find yourself losing any sense of what is real and what is imaginary. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Published to enormous critical acclaim in the US, The Emigrants has been acclaimed as "one of the best novels to appear since World War II" (Review of Contemporary Fiction) and three times chosen as the 1996 International Book of the Year. The poignant and acclaimed novel about the beauty of lost things, while the protagonist traces the lives of four elderly German/Jewish exiles. The Emigrants is composed of four long narratives which at first appear to be the straightforward accounts of the lives of several Jewish exiles in England, Austria, and America. The narrator literally follows their footsteps, studding each story with photographs and creating the impression that the reader is poring over a family album. But gradually, Sebald's prose, which combines documentary description with almost hallucinatory fiction, exerts a new magic, and the four stories merge into one. Illustrated throughout with enigmatic photographs.
Review:"A masterpiece." Richard Eder, The New York Times.
Synopsis:Published to enormous critical acclaim in the U.S. and sold out immediately in its first hardcover edition, THE EMIGRANTS appears to be straightforward biography of four Germans in exile. But author W.G. Sebald has wrought "one of the best novels to appear since WWII" (REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY FICTION) and three times chosen as the1996 International Book of the Year. Illustrated throughout with enigmatic photographs.
About the AuthorW. G. Sebald was born in Germany in 1944 and died in 2001. He is the author of The Emigrants, The Rings of Saturn, Vertigo, Austerlitz, After Nature, On the Natural History of Destruction, Unrecounted and Campo Santo.

Buying a Refurb'd laptop is always an iffy proposition, especially if the reseller has a bad rep.
Decent price for a small laptop with decent specs, as long as it's in good condition when you get it.
Dell had a blow-out sale on refurbs lately. I picked one up there, and I'm glad I did.
The description is still broken. Sentence 1 says Core Duo, Sentence 2 says Core 2 Duo. D420 = Core Duo.
This price is for Dell part #D420-C2D1.2, which is a D420 with a Core 2 Duo processor. eCost does have the Core Duo version for the D420 but for some reason it's $10 more expensive, go figure.

Reader's view: Preserve family values by opposing gay-marriage ban
I was talking with a friend the other day; and since we were both born in the 1950s, we were feeling a bit nostalgic about how things used to be. We regretted the loss of civility, family unity, self-sacrifice, work ethic, loyalty and responsibility. All these values we learned as children and still hold dear today seem to be slipping away. But what he said next surprised me. He said it was time to draw a line in the sand and stop this slide into self-indulgence by passing a constitutional amendment against any future possibility of gay marriage in Minnesota. He said he was tired of our values eroding.By: Dane Youngblom, Duluth News Tribune

Bathroom WARS
Someone on my floor keeps ripping out magazine images of some pseudo-sexy guy & gal from random ads, and pinning them to the wall. Then someone, presumably offended (?) removes it a short time later.
SO, my new modus operandi, is to take down said images, photo re-touch them, and pin them back up in the bathroom again.

WASHINGTON — The Senate's top Republican says it's time for his party to turn its attention to the fall presidential campaign.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is stopping short of endorsing front-runner Mitt Romney as the GOP's nominee.
But McConnell tells CNN's "State of the Union" that it's in the best interest of his party to coalesce around the strongest candidate to beat President Barack Obama in November.
GOP voters will weigh in during primaries Tuesday in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Romney is ahead in the polls heading into those contests.

MORGANTOWN - Geno Smith hasn't exactly turned into a workout machine, putting his body through torture each day just to see how much he can take.
Oh, the West Virginia quarterback is working hard, all right. He really doesn't have much choice given that that's what college football players do during the summer.
But while he might not be overdoing it, he's not being asked to take a step back this summer as he's had to do in each of the last two because of a pair of foot injuries.
Now, when the rest of the team sprints or runs the law school hill, Smith is right there with them.
"I'm doing drills I haven't done in like four years,'' Smith said. "It's great.''
But while working out and getting his body in shape for his junior season is all well and good, that's really not the primary focus for Smith this summer.
With a new offense installed by Dana Holgorsen installed in the spring, the primary focus for Smith this summer is polishing that. And that means working on timing.
"Our offense isn't really that complex,'' Smith said. "It's something that is very easy to get down. I think it's just about getting our timing better. If we get pinpoint timing then I feel like we'll be unstoppable in this offense.''
What that means for Smith and his receivers this summer is working as much as possible on running routes. They do it in seven-on-seven drills against the WVU secondary, they do one-on-one drills with defensive backs and they simply practice routes and timing with no defense.
"It's anything to get our timing down,'' Smith said.
There is, of course, a difference between seven-on-sevens in an empty stadium and without linemen to muddy the waters and doing the same thing in a packed stadium with the chaos of charging defensive ends and the like.
Still, Smith insists that none of that really matters all that much. If he and his receivers are on the same page, it shouldn't matter what else is going on around them.

Full review
Budget mobiles have typically been miserable pieces of tat forcing poor screens and underpowered processors on those not willing to splash the cash on top end devices. The Lumia 620 might be part of the budget lineup but it offers a hell of a lot for an extremely reasonable £150.
For that cash you'll get a bright, bold 3.8-inch screen, a host of helpful Nokia apps, a 5-megapixel camera and the ability to swap the case for a rainbow of vivid colours.
It's available now for £150 on pay as you go or free on contracts starting at £13.50.
Should I buy the Nokia Lumia 620?
With its colourful, interchangeable cases and its very affordable price tag, the Lumia 620 is perhaps the definition of "cheap and cheerful". It's a great choice for younger phone fanatics looking for something to carry around that's a bit different to their mate's Android or BlackBerry.
It doesn't have the screen real estate of phones like the Galaxy S3, but it's sharp, bright and has great colours. The People Hub in the Windows Phone 8 software is great for socialites, allowing you to see all your friends' social networking activity in one place.
Its dual-core processor is more modest than you'll find in the Lumia 820 or 920, but I found it handled the same tasks with ease. Is it worth splashing the extra cash on the 920? Yes, but only if you crave the bigger screen and the better camera. The 620 offers the same Windows Phone 8 experience for hundreds of pounds less.
If you're after an attractive, pocket-friendly phone that's a bit different from the norm -- or if you simply want to take Windows Phone 8 for a test drive -- then the 620 is a great option. If you want a more well-stocked app store then Huawei's G330 is a similarly affordable Android phone but I found Windows Phone 8 to make better use of more modest hardware than Android is generally capable of.
Design and build quality
The first thing you're likely to notice about the 620 is its extremely bright colours. That's courtesy of a number of interchangeable back cases, harking back to Nokia's heyday with the swappable fascias on the 3210.
There are various colours available, including yellow, white, pink, blue, orange or -- if you're not keen on the dazzling hues -- black. They're certainly eye-catching, particularly the green case that has an inner yellow ring, making it look like there are two cases on. If you're after a phone to really stand out amongst your friends' black iPhones then the 620 will do the job perfectly. The cases are sold separately but Nokia says that they'll be under £20, which seems reasonable.
Of course having changeable backs isn't just about aesthetics, it also means you don't need to worry as much about scratches and dirty marks. Handily, the headphone jack comes built into each case, not the phone itself. This means that if, like me, you make a habit of destroying the jack by getting your headphone cable caught on a door handle -- as happened to my Galaxy S3 only last week -- you simply need to swap the case to get a new jack.
The phone itself is 115mm long and 61mm wide making it smaller than a lot of the top-end smart phones around but perfectly sized for most hands -- at no point do you have to stretch your thumbs to get across the screen. It's made even more comfortable by the pleasant rounded back. It's 11mm thick and weighs 127g, which again isn't super-slim or super-light, but you won't have any difficulty carrying it around in your pocket.
Build quality is excellent on the whole. The thick, stiff casing seems ready to protect the more delicate internals from all but the most brutal of attacks and the toughened glass front should shrug off attacks from coins and keys in your pocket. The buttons don't seem unpleasantly rattly either, but they're all part of the casing which can be replaced anyway if the worst does happen.
On the sides you'll find a volume rocker, a power button and a dedicated camera shutter button that allows you to half-press to focus. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top and a micro-USB port on the bottom for charging and data transfer. There's only 8GB of storage, which won't last long, but you can pop in microSD cards up to 64GB. There's a camera on the front and one on the back, both of which I'll come to later.
The 620 also boasts near-field communication technology, or NFC to you and me. It lets the phone talk to devices simply by touching them together. I found I was easily able to pair the phone with one of JBL's PlayUP NFC-enabled speakers quickly and simply, without having go to the hassle of pressing and holding buttons and finding the speaker in the phone's settings.
The 620 packs in a 3.8-inch display, which is undeniably rather small in comparison to the majority of new smart phones. That's not necessarily a bad thing though -- it makes it easier to stretch your thumbs across and packs in a good amount of pixels, making it sharper than low-end phones with big screens.
In fact, it has a resolution of 480x800 pixels, the same as the 4-inch Huawei G330, making the picture slightly sharper overall -- although I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference, side by side. Small text and icons are crisp and reading for longer periods is perfectly comfortable -- although its diminutive size does mean you're unlikely to want to read full-length ebooks on it.
Colours are great too. Nokia's ClearBlack display results in deep black levels, giving good contrast and punchy, vibrant colours. Images and videos in Netflix are very watchable. Display quality is often an area that's skimped on in budget mobiles to keep the price down, but the 620's screen thankfully hasn't seen such cuts.
Windows Phone 8
The 620 runs the latest version of Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 software. Unlike Android, WP8 isn't tweaked and skinned by phone manufacturers so you'll have the same layout and experience on all WP8 phones.
It's made up of colourful tiles showing live information in a flowing grid. You can resize and move these tiles around if you want to give a certain feature more prominence. Swiping to the left takes you into a list of all your apps. It's a neat and fairly easy to navigate interface that doesn't take much getting used to, even if you're new to the smart phone world.
My favourite aspects of the software are the People and Me hubs. Once you've connected your email, Facebook and Twitter accounts to the phone -- which thankfully is easy to do -- these hubs will show all your contacts' information from all networks in one handy place. You can then contact them using any method (email, phone, text, Skype, Facebook etc) without having to jump in and out of different apps. The Me app allows you to instantly share photos or statuses to your various networks from one spot.
The biggest problem with Windows Phone 8 is its app store. While you can get certain gems like WhatsApp, Skype and Netflix, it's woefully understocked compared to the iOS and Android stores. Apps like Spotify do not yet feature on its shelves, which is a crucial omission for me and many of my friends.
It's easy to argue that as long as you can still enjoy the core features of the phone, a well-stocked app store isn't essential. Given that this phone is intended for the likes of younger phone users, who love getting the latest games, sharing high scores and Instagramming their food, the sparse app store is likely to be an issue.
Nokia has chucked in a bunch of its own stuff though to help plug some of the gaps. Its maps app is brilliant, showing a wealth of local information about bars, restaurants or points of interest -- you can see these in an augmented reality view around you using Nokia's City Lens app too. It's possible to download maps to your phone to save you getting lost in the city without signal, and Nokia's Drive app will give you turn-by-turn GPS satellite navigation when you're driving.
Nokia Music meanwhile allows you to listen to song mixes from a variety of playlists totally free, without annoying ads, and you can even sync up to 14 hours of songs for offline playing. You're stuck with the mixes though, rather than being able to just listen to a whole album, but it's still a great addition for music lovers and a good way of scoping out new artists.
Power and performance
The 620 runs on a 1GHz dual-core processor with 512MB of RAM. Those are low-end specs but it's an entry-level phone with a price to match so I didn't expect anything more.
It might have very modest specs but the 620 is hardly sluggish. Swiping around the WP8 interface is nippy and mostly free of any kind of juddery lag. Opening menus and apps is responsive too -- at no point did I get the impression that I was using a very low-end phone.
It also copes well with more demanding tasks. Streaming video using Netflix was fine -- although at times, the stream did take a while longer than usual to render into a decent quality. Editing photos in Fhotoroom was easy too, with edits being applied without delay. I generally found little I could do to really slow it down.
There isn't, however, much currently available in the store that is particularly challenging. Demanding 3D games like Real Racing 2 aren't available, so its gaming prowess can't really be tested in full. It's safe to assume that its competency in handling games will be limited to simpler stuff, such as Angry Birds.
The software isn't perfect though. On a couple of occasions it suffered something of a hissy fit, showing numerous duplicate tiles on the homescreen, making it impossible to see properly. Another time, rows of volume icons started flashing up when I switched between windows. They went away after a restart and the problems only occurred on one occasion each, but it does suggest that there may be a few rough edges to watch out for. In spite of this, my experience was perfectly fine and mostly trouble free -- something that I can't say of all low-end phones.
Around the back of the 620 you'll find a 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash. If you're hoping for the same high quality low-light photography you get with the Lumia 920, you're going to be disappointed. For the money though, the 620 puts in an admirable effort.
This indoor shot in the CNET UK office has a balanced exposure, with an even, natural colour tone. It doesn't have the same clarity you'd expect to see with a top-end phone, but it's a much better effort than I've seen from similarly priced mobiles.
Heading outside, the 620 again managed to capture a good all-round image. Both the buildings and the sky remain well exposed, although it didn't perform quite as well in the image below. Quality isn't great at full screen, but it does a perfectly good job for Facebook and Twitter snaps.
Photo-editing apps in the Windows Phone Marketplace are pretty limited -- there's no Instagram or Snapseed, for example -- but Nokia has bundled a few of its own tricks in for you to take advantage of.
You can download add-ons it calls 'lenses' to allow for you to be more experimental with your photography. These include a panorama mode, a best-shot function, a feature which lets you take numerous images of a group and merges the best faces into one good photo, and a cinemagram function that allows you to selectively animate an area of an image to create a creepy little gif.
On the front you'll find a VGA camera to let you video call your mates using Skype. It's nothing special either, but will do the job well enough as long as you're in a well-lit room.
Editor's note: This section has been updated with some new samples and
the text changed to reflect our re-evaluation of the camera.
Nokia has shoved a 1,300mAh battery into the 620 which isn't exactly capacious. Still, it manages to put in a good effort, thanks in part to the WP8 software which is designed to be more easy-going on battery life. I found it was easily able to get through a whole working day on a charge.
If you call constantly or spend the whole day watching Red Dwarf on Netflix then you won't eke so much juice from it, but if you're mindful of what you're up to then you shouldn't need to keep a plug with you at all times.
The Lumia 620 provides a lot of the best features from Nokia's top-end phones, but with a significantly lower price tag. Its colourful cases not only make it more fun, but help take the worry out of damaging your mobile.
It's not only a great option for enjoying your first taste of Windows Phone 8, it's a superb choice for younger users wanting a slick phone in your pocket that's a bit different from the swathes of budget grey Android phones their mates are running.

AbstractThe leading cause of death in diabetic patients is cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)-containing lipoprotein particles, which are secreted and cleared by the liver, are essential for the development of atherosclerosis. Insulin plays a key role in the regulation of ApoB. Insulin decreases ApoB secretion by promoting ApoB degradation in the hepatocyte. In parallel, insulin promotes clearance of circulating ApoB particles by the liver via the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), LDLR-related protein 1 (LRP1), and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). Consequently, the insulin-resistant state of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with increased secretion and decreased clearance of ApoB. Here, we review the mechanisms by which insulin controls the secretion and uptake of ApoB in normal and diabetic livers.

SummaryStaphylococcus aureus is both a colonizer of humans and a cause of severe invasive infections. Although the genetic basis for phenotype switching from colonizing to invasive has received significant study, knowledge of host factors that antagonize the switch is limited. We show that VLDL and LDL lipoproteins interfere with this switch by antagonizing the S. aureus agr quorum-sensing system that upregulates genes required for invasive infection. The mechanism of antagonism entails binding of the major structural protein of these lipoproteins, apolipoprotein B, to an S. aureus autoinducing pheromone, preventing attachment of this pheromone to the bacteria and subsequent signaling through its receptor, AgrC. Mice deficient in plasma apolipoprotein B, either genetically or pharmacologically, are more susceptible to invasive agr+ bacterial infection, but not to infection with an agr deletion mutant. Therefore, apolipoprotein B at homeostatic levels in blood is an essential innate defense effector against invasive S. aureus infection.

Increased very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 22, Issue 9, 1 September 2011, Pages 353-363
Sung Hee Choi and Henry N Ginsberg
AbstractInsulin resistance (IR) affects not only the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism but all aspects of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. IR is associated with increased secretion of VLDL and increased plasma triglycerides, as well as with hepatic steatosis, despite the increased VLDL secretion. Here we link IR with increased VLDL secretion and hepatic steatosis at both the physiologic and molecular levels. Increased VLDL secretion, together with the downstream effects on high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) size, is proatherogenic. Hepatic steatosis is a risk factor for steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. Understanding the complex inter-relationships between IR and these abnormalities of liver lipid homeostasis will provide insights relevant to new therapies for these increasing clinical problems.

Dyslipidaemia in Adult Growth Hormone (GH) Deficiency and the Effect of GH Replacement Therapy: A Review
Emanuel R Christ, Michael H Cummings and David L Russell-Jones
Department of Medicine, St Thomas' Hospital (UMDS), Lambeth Palace Road, London, UK SE1 7EH.
Adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency is associated with a lipid profile known to be related to atherosclerosis. GH replacement therapy improves the lipid profile with the exception of lipoprotein (a) concentrations, which tend to increase after GH therapy. Plasma lipid concentrations depend on its plasma carriers, the lipoproteins. Possible mechanisms involved in the dyslipidaemia of GH-deficient patients and the effects of GH replacement therapy are discussed with a special focus on hepatic lipoprotein metabolism.

The state gets a small cut of that. "Current state code allows us to collect a 1 percent administrative fee and that is what we're going to do," Oakes said. That would trim the city's estimated net to $6,113,250.
Merchants will begin sending tax collections to the state a month after the tax takes effect, Oakes said. Depending on their sales volume, some send in monthly returns, some quarterly and a few just once a year.
Charleston won't get its first payment until early January, and then every three months after that.
"As we collect these revenues, they'll go into a special revenue fund," City Manager David Molgaard said.
The law passed by City Council says the primary purpose for the City Sales and Use Tax Fund is to pay down bonds or other financial obligations for Civic Center improvements.
But it also allows some wiggle room. Any money left over can be transferred to the city's general revenue fund.
The sales tax isn't the only funding source for the Civic Center, but it's by far the largest one. Last year the city also set up a TIF (tax-increment financing) district covering a wide swath of downtown that includes most of the major hotels plus the Charleston Town Center Mall.
The idea is that any additional property taxes generated by improvements within the district would go toward the Civic Center. The mall has been doing some upgrading, as are several hotels, while a Marriott Courtyard is rising near Elk River.
"We just saw the first money come in from that ... not much," Molgaard said. "There's a year time lag."
TIF district funds could be used to support bond issue, and the sales tax revenues could support another bond issue, Molgaard said. Alternatively, the city could draw down some tax revenues on a pay-as-you-go basis.
"Right now we're in the procurement process for design of the Civic Center project. Eventually we'll have development costs. Based on our preliminary analysis we're looking to pursue a project of up to $50 million.
"Our initial analysis, because TIF bonds can only go out 20 years, $6 or $7 million for an initial bond issue from the TIF district. The balance, $43 to $44 million, would come from the sales tax."
Molgaard was leery about predicting any leftover sales tax revenues.
"Fifty million dollars is a lot money but, when you look at what it cost to build the Clay Center, that money could go very quickly."
Like the recent improvements at Haddad Riverfront Park, Molgaard hopes to use a design/build process at the Civic Center, where the same team that designs the project oversees its construction.
"We will select a design/build team through a competition. The goal is to have a guaranteed maximum price and have at least three design firms tell us what they can provide for the budget."
The goal is to encourage creativity, he said. "When you think about updating the exterior, there are multiple routes you can go."
All this will take time, at least several years.
"I really hope to have the consultant piece moving forward next month," Molgaard said. "Maybe by this time next year we'll have picked a design/build team who will spend the next year, year and a half, designing the project."

South Korean parents are notoriously zealous for more education for their children.
They send their kids to cram schools, or hagwons, until late at night in hopes of higher grades at school. Good academic scores often mean acceptance to good colleges and a success in society. Here's another matrix. Rather, another headache for the parents who want to give their children a head-start. The country's Education Ministry said Thursday it would now closely monitor those students who habitually use abusive language at school for possible punishment following an incident caught on video of a high-school student cursing 385 times in a classroom.
Korea Real Time provides sharp analysis and insight into what's making news on the Korean peninsula. We chronicle the growing pains of South Korea — a country that has skyrocketed into the club of the world's richest nations but now faces significant headwinds, and shine a spotlight on one of the world's biggest geopolitical flashpoints: North Korea. Drawing on the expertise of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, we'll tell the stories behind the headlines in business, economics, politics, culture and lifestyle.
