A method and an apparatus provided to calculate and control the elongation in a running web (16), e.g. in connection with a preparation of a web in a printing machine. In connection with at least an increase or decrease in the web tension, the length change in a reference length of the web material is measured, and by means of web tension meters the web tension before and after the web tension change (σ1 -σ2) or each one of the web tension alterations is determined. The tension-free length (no) of the reference length is also calculated and if it is needed, the elongation of the web is corrected through an increase or a decrease in the web tension depending on said measurements.
1. A method of controlling the elongation of a running web of printing material in a continuous printing apparatus having at least one infeed roll, at least one printing cylinder and at least one outfeed roll and wherein the running web is tensioned between the infeed roll and the outfeed roll, comprising the steps of:
(1) measuring said tension and a length of the running web between the infeed roll and the outfeed roll;
(2) immediately after step (1), accelerating or decelerating the running web by a selected amount so as to change said tension and length;
(3) measuring said change in tension and the change in length;
(4) determining a value of an elastic elongation of the running web as a function of said change in tension and said change in length; and
(5) increasing or decreasing the tension of the running web as a function of the value of elastic elongation so as to control the elastic elongation of the running web.
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the value of elastic elongation is periodically determined.
3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the change in tension is carried out through a velocity change of the running web.
4. A method according to claim 3, wherein the velocity change of the running web is carried out by means of braking roll, which is driven by a motor, or a brake, and wherein the running web tension is measured by a web tension meter.
5. A method according to claim 4, wherein the change in length is measured by means of a pulse counter disposed near at least one measuring roll, which measuring roll is equipped with a pulse generator.
6. A method according to claim 5, wherein the change in length and the change in tension measurements are transmitted to a computer, which calculates said value of elastic elongation.
7. A method according to claim 6, wherein the computer compares the determined values of the elastic elongation with a reference value of the elastic elongation and controls a tension regulation roll as a function of the comparison to reduce differences between the determined and reference values.
8. A method according to claim 1, wherein the acceleration or deceleration of the running web is applied between the printing cylinder and the outfeed rolls.
9. A method according to claim 5, wherein the acceleration or deceleration of the running web is applied between the outfeed rolls and the measuring roll.
A method of calculating and controlling the elongation of a running web, e.g. a web in connection with the preparation of a web in a printing unit and a device for the carrying out of the method.
In order to obtain a product having a satisfactory quality in the processing of web materials, e.g. in connection with printing, a high accuracy is required as regards an accurate positioning, when the web material is fed into processing machines. When it is the matter of printing, the processing machines can be printing machines.
When the material is fed between rolls, it generally is pretensioned and stretched, which results in a varying length in connection with variations in e.g. web tension and coefficient of elasticity. The elongation of the web material varies with web width, web thickness, moisture, material quality etc. A high product quality requires knowledge of the elongation of the web material in various processing phases and particularly in critical processing phases.
An example of this is the printing on a running paper web, and it is important that the print on forms obtains a predetermined length after the printing. This is particularly important in connection with the preparation of multi-sheet sets, which comprise a plurality of assembled forms, designed e.g. for the simultaneous typing of invoices, shipping notes, order confirmations, etc. Also, in case these multi-sheet sets of assembled forms shall be printed in a remaliner-fed printer, the hole punching for the remaliner-feeding must have an accurate distance between the holes in accordance with the length of the forms. It is difficult to keep the correct length on printed web materials and this is often evident in multi-sheet sets of assembled forms, designed for remaliner-feeding. In these sets some sheets are often stretched and some are wavy, since they are "extended" (in comparison with the rest of the sheets). The sets of assembled forms in this way become unneccesarily thick with air inclusions around the wavy sheets.
The object of the invention is to suggest a method and a device, which allow a continuous control and regulation of the elongation of a running moving web material. This object and other goals are achieved according to the method of the invention, which is characterized in that the length change of the web is measured in connection with at least an increase or decrease in the web tension, in that the web tension is measured either before or after the changing of the web tension or after each one of the changing of the web tension and in that the elongation is determined and if it is required corrected through an increase or a decrease in the web tension depending on said length change and web tension measurements.
The changing of the web tension can be done by means of a roll, which accelerates or decelerates the web to a higher or lower web tension than the original one. The web tension can be measured in a way known per se by means of load cells or any other type of web tension meters. The length change can be determined by knowing the web speed of the accelerated or decelerated part of the web and the web speed in that part of the web, which is not influenced by the changing of web tension. The web speed can be measured by counting pulses generated by a roll in contact with that part of the web, which is subjected to a tension change, and by a roll in contact with that part of the web which is not subjected to the tension change.
The braking or acceleration roll can be controlled by a computer, which with constant intervals or by commands carries out a measuring sequence for the determination of the elongation of the web. The computer then receives measuring data from e.g. two pulse generators, provided to determine the web speed, as well as data from the web tension meter. Also, in case the computer is connected to control a tension regulation device, the computer can calculate the required corrections and correct the present tension level in order to allow the true tension of the web to be the same as the desired tension of the web. Subsequently, the set tension and/or elongation can be continuously controlled through a tension measurement and/or a pulse counting, respectively.
In the following description, reference will be made to the following drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 schematically shows an apparatus for the carrying out of the method according to the present invention; and
FIG. 2 shows a diagram, which indicates a linear correlation between tension and elongation in a web material.
FIG. 1 shows a paper web in a printing machine, which is equipped with an apparatus for the carrying out of the method according to the invention. The printing machine comprises a printing unit with two printing and support cylinders 6a, 6b, respectively, and a tensioning unit with two infeed rolls 4a, 4b, which are controlled by a variator 5.
Variator 5 is connected to a common drive 2 for the printing unit with printing cylinders 6a, 6b and outfeed rolls 3a, 3b. By means of variator 5 the peripherical speed of tensioning infeed rolls 4a, 4b can be changed in relation to the peripherical speed of printing cylinders 6a, 6b and outfeed rolls 3a, 3b, which are driven by common drive 2 by means of motor 1. A reduction of the speed of tensioning rolls 4a, 4b at an unchanged speed of printing cylinders 6a, 6b and outfeed rolls 3a, 3b results in an increase in the web tension downstreams of the tensioning device, and an increase in the speed of tensioning rolls 4a, 4b results in a decrease in the web tension downstreams of the tensioning device.
The device according to the invention comprises a pulse generator 12, which generates one or several pulses for each cylinder revolution, when printing cylinder 6b revolves. Via a communication line 15 a pulse or several pulses for each revolution of printing cylinders 6a, 6b is sent to a computer 17.
Also, the device according to the invention comprises a brake or acceleration roll 7, which is connected to a motor 8, which is controlled by computer 17 and thus is connected to computer 17 via a control line 14. The assembly according to the invention also comprises a measuring roll 18 with a pulse generator 13, the pulses of which are transmitted to computer 17 via a communication line 11. Measuring roll 18 actuates a web tension meter 9, which via a communication line 10 transmits web tension data to computer 17.
In order to remedy faults in measuring roll 18, e.g. due to ink coating and various creeps in the material on the measuring roll, an additional measuring wheel 21 is also used, which is only used to test the elasticity of the web material. Measuring wheel 21 is connected to a pulse generator 22, which sends measurement test results to computer 17 in order to calibrate measuring roll 18. In order to let measuring roll 21 bear on running web 16, which is fully straight within this area, a driving element 23, e.g. an air cylinder, is used. A holding element 24 is also used.
The apparatus operates in the following way. When computer 17 receives a command to initiate a measuring sequence, the present web tension is first stored in the memory, the web tension being obtained from web tension meter 9 via line 10. In the memory of computer 17 the number of pulses n1 is also recorded, which are received from pulse generator 13, during the time between the first and the last pulse of a number of pulses, e.g. No pulses, from pulse generator 12. Thus, a measure of the web travel length is obtained, which at the present web tension σ1 passes roll 18 during said time, between the first and the last of No pulses from pulse generator 12.
Then the web is accelerated via roll 7, which by means of motor 8 is influenced by a moment, which can be pre-set or be selected by the computer program or by the machine operator. In this way the peripherical speed of roll 7 is increased and simultaneously the web tension decreases between roll 7 and outfeed rolls 3a, 3b. In computer 17, new web tension σ2 is recorded, which is transmitted by web tension meter 9, as well as the number of pulses n2 from pulse generator 13 during the time for No pulses from pulse generator 12.
Due to the reduced stretching, the length of the web material decreases, which passes via roll 18 during the time between the first and the last of No pulses from pulse generator 12 and consequently the number of pulses from pulse generator 13 during this time decreases as compared to the measurement, which was done prior to the speed increase of roll 7. The difference (n1 -n2) between the numbers of pulses n1 and n2 is a measure of the shortening of the web material in connection with the tension reduction. If it is assumed that there is a linear correlation between the tension and the elongation of the web material (which as regards paper materials often is the case at low tension levels), the elongation of the web material can be calculated. FIG. 2 shows how the correlation between tension σ and elongation ε of the web material can be estimated graphically, provided that the length change is known, which is obtained through a reduction (σ1 to σ2). Since the values of σ1 and σ2 are known, it is e.g. possible to select point A arbitrarily, B being placed at a vertical distance from A, which corresponds to the length change (n1 -n2) of the web material. Position no on pulse number scale corresponds to a tension-free length of the web material. This position is obtained by drawing a line through points A and B, which line crosses the pulse number scale at no. Also, pulse number no can be calculated according to any of the formulas:
no =n2 -(n1 -n2)*σ2 /(σ1 -σ2)
no =n1 -(n1 -n2)*σ1 /(σ1 -σ2)
When the tension is σ1, the elongation of the web material is ε1 =n1 /no -1 and when the tension is σ2, the elongation is ε2 =n2 /no -1. The coefficient of elasticity of the material can be calculated according to the formula:
E=(n2 *(σ1 -σ2)-σ2 *(n1 -n2))/(n1 -n2)
Printing cylinders are prepared to obtain the correct printing length for a certain elongation εt (in the longitudinal direction of the web). In order to obtain the correct printing length when the web material is tension-free, the web tension must be σt, which results in elongation εt. Web tension σt is adjusted by means of variator 5.
The tension required to obtain elongation εt can be calculated directly using the formula:
σt =E*εt =εt *(n2 *(σ1 -σ2)-σ2 *(n1 -n2))/(n1 -n2).
When the accurate tension σt has been set, the elongation can be controlled. The number of pulses, which are emitted by pulse generator 13 during the time for No pulses from pulse generator 12, must be nt =no (1+εt), when the tension is σt.
This control can subsequently be carried out continuously during the printing of the entire web material. In this connection normally no tension change is needed. The controls which are needed are tension and/or elongation measurements. As regards the used web material, the tension measurement is to show tension σt and for the "elongation measurement", using pulse counting, the number of pulses, which are generated by pulse generator 13 during the time for No pulses from pulse generator 12, is to be nt. Provided a possible tension change dσ simultaneously results in an elongation change dε=dσ/E, the tension can be corrected. In case the requirement dσ=E*dε is not met, the coefficient of elasticity of the material has been altered, e.g. due to moisture, and then E must be calculated again. The requirement dσ=E*dε may be replaced with the requirement dσ=dn*E/no, in which dn is the deviation of the measured pulse number (the number of pulses which are generated by pulse generator 13 during the time for No pulses from pulse generator 12) from pulse number nt.
In the embodiment described above a reference length has been determined by calculating the time for No pulses from pulse generator 12, which time corresponds to a certain angular rotation of cylinder 6a (e.g. one or several turns or parts of a turn) and the corresponding web length.
Instead of using pulse generator 12, roll 6a can be used to leave a position mark (a printing mark) on the web material per each turn of cylinder 6a. By means of a photoelectric cell 20 or the like, which preferably is placed close to measuring roll 18, a signal then can be sent for every passage of a mark. These signals can be transmitted to the computer. Instead of the time interval for No pulses from pulse generator 12 it is then possible, in connection with elongation measurements, instead to count pulses, from pulse generator 13 during the time for e.g. No signals (No printing marks), which are obtained via a photoelectric cell or the like. Pulse generator 12 will then be superfluous.
The apparatus according to the present invention can be positioned anywhere along the web between tensioning infeed rolls 4a, 4b and out feed rolls 3a, 3b. It is true that these rolls 4a, 4b, 3a, 3b also can be used as acceleration and/or retardation rolls according to the inventive idea. However, usually this is less suitable due to e.g. the inertial moment of the rolls. It is true that only one roll is needed, which can be braked or be repositioned, or another device (a metal foil web possibly can be heated), designed to obtain a controlled and controllable change of web tension. Also, it is not necessary to position measuring roll 18 downstreams of brake or acceleration roll 7. In the measuring sequence described above the web material has been accelerated via roll 7. However, the material can also be braked via roll 7 and in this way a tension increase can be introduced, utilized to determine the correlation between the tension and the elongation of the web material.
Variator 5 suitably can be provided with a tension scale, by means of which it will be easy to adjust the variator in order to give the web material a certain tension level. The measurements can be repeated with frequent intervals, a continuous follow-up of the elongation being obtained, in order to directly correct deviations due to variations in the web thickness, moisture etc.
When the coefficient of elasticity of the web material is tested, measuring wheel 21 is brought into contact with the web material, the obtained measuring values being sent to computer 17 from pulse generator 22 in order to calibrate measuring roll 18.
Variator 5 can also be controlled by computer 17 and a feedback self-regulating system is then obtained, if computer 17 has been programmed to continuously and with relatively frequent intervals control and correct the elongation in the web.
Also, a plurality of tension increases and/or decreases is connection with every measuring sequence can be applied in order to obtain measuring data, which the computer can process in connection with a calculation of the residual elongation in those cases when a plastic elongation may occur, e.g. in connection with moisture during an offset-printing. However, in case variator 5 is also controlled by the computer, a continuous correction and control towards the desired elongation, if a linear tension-elongation-correlation is assumed, often can yield a sufficient accuracy.
The apparatus according to the invention need not have to include a computer. The necessary calculations can, starting from the read values, be done by the machine operator, who can graphicly estimate the tension σt, which ought to be set according to FIG. 2. Tension σt can alternatively be calculated by using the formula, which directly gives the web tension, which is to be set. Also, the subsequent control of the elongation and/or the tension can be carried out by the operator.

Seattle City Council exempts smaller buildings from energy-efficiency reporting program
- Marc Stiles
- Staff Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
This week, Seattle changed the rules of a program that requires thousands of commercial property owners to measure the energy efficiency of their buildings and report it to the city every year.
Initially, nonresidential buildings of 10,000 square feet or more and multifamily residential buildings with five or more units were required to participate in the Energy Benchmarking & Reporting Program, designed to encourage better energy efficiency and potentially save building owners and tenants hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in utility costs.
The new rules that the City Council approved require only bigger buildings to be in the program. The updated cutoff is nonresidential and multifamily residential buildings that are 20,000 square feet or larger.
For now, the owners of smaller multifamily residential buildings are off the hook. City staff members will research a better approach for these. Rebecca Baker, manager of the program, said the goal is to have a recommendation by 2014.
In the meantime, the owners of small buildings can voluntarily continue to measure the energy performance of their properties. "Regardless of size, we will help them if they want to benchmark their properties," Baker said.
Among the other tweaks is a change to the penalty structure. The fine for noncompliance had been up to $500 day. Now it's between $500 per quarter for buildings that are 20,000 to 49,999 square feet, and $1,000 per quarter for bigger buildings.
Seattle adopted its program two years ago and is one of six U.S. cities that have one.
Proponents say that in addition to leading to lower energy costs, the program encourages greenhouse gas emissions reduction and energy retrofitting job creation.

Panuphol Pittayarat maintains lead
SINGAPORE -- Panuphol Pittayarat of Thailand birdied two of his last three holes to maintain a one-stroke lead after the second round of The Championship at Laguna National on Friday.
Panuphol, the overnight leader, shot a 4-under 68 for a two-round total of 13-under 131, a stroke ahead of Scott Hend of Australia, David Lipsky of the United States, and Felipe Aguilar of Chile in a tie for second place.
The Thai, ranked 451st in the world, has never won on the European Tour and missed his last three cuts this year on the Asian Tour.
"The two birdies in my last three holes were nice to end off my round," he said. "It's nice to be putting myself in a good position heading into the last two rounds. I would rather stay up there than to be chasing the lead actually. I just want to grab my chance and not let it go."
Hend had eight birdies and just one bogey to shoot a 7-under 65, the low round of the day.
The Australian, who's also looking for his first European Tour title, said it was difficult to stay focused in the hot, humid conditions at Singapore's Laguna National golf course.
"I am used to this kind of weather but it still comes to a point where your body just cannot take it and it makes you lose concentration," he said. "I'm managing well so far. Two more rounds to go and we will see what happens."
Aguilar, playing with a sore wrist after a recent mountain biking accident, birdied his last three holes to card a 67.
"(The wrist) doesn't bother me much, but I still have pain. It will be there for the next four or five months," he said. "Everything you do is dangerous so you have to be careful, but I'm playing good golf because I'm happy, and so the mountain biking helps."
Anders Hansen is also returning from a wrist injury that required surgery and kept him off the tour for six months last year. He missed the cut at his first two events this year, but finished in a tie for fifth last week at the China Open.
The Danish golfer shot a 66 on Friday to move into a share of fifth place at 11 under, two strokes off the pace. He dropped a stroke on his final hole when he three-putted for bogey.
"It's always hard coming back after an injury," he said. "I've never had six months off before so I didn't know what to expect. It was tough the first four rounds I played, the first two in Spain and Malaysia, but then last week something kicked in and it has carried on this week."

Join our forum today - we have the biggest and most international JESC forum on the internet!
We talked to the eternally enchanting Emilija from Serbia yesterday and she's so incredibly lovely! She talked about nerves before going on stage (or the lack thereof), her piano talent, the meaning of the song,... But to be honest, you don't have to know the meaning of the song to understand it: just listen to the bit she sang to us and you'll immediately feel the emotion and feeling of the lyrics and song!
Link to the interview!
Yesterday we managed to sneak into the interview booth with Maša & Lejla from Montenegro! They might seem reserved and quiet in some videos, but they are actually really outgoing and sweet! Their second rehearsal went a lot better and they felt the same thing as well. And quiet as they may seem, they do like some partying as they told us... Listen until the end for a very nice accapella rendition of Budi dijete na jedan dan!
Yesterday, we were lucky to talk to the very sweet Lizi Pop from Georgia! She told us some very interesting things, like her biggest dream (and it's something you would expect from an eleven year old!). She revealed that her French is 'absolument magnifique' (Georgian, Russian, French,.. What else?!) and sang part of Happy Day for us with her dancers! She is incredibly sweet and very active, which led to a very cute reaction when we mentioned the Euroclub... She finally had a very unexpected message for the Junior Eurovision fans... What exactly? Watch the video and you will see!
We're sorry the interview cut in a bit late, we had problems with the camera!
We were also able to get an interview with Julia from the Netherlands after her press conference. Watch it below, it is done by me (Dara) and Isanne from escplus.
After her press conference, we were able to do an interview with Sophia from Cyprus (together with Adrian from escplus). Check it out below:

The South Dakota Stockgrowers Association is requesting a delay to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's plan to reintroduce the black-footed ferret in 12 western states.
The association has written a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Director Dan Ashe asking for an extension to the comment period on the plan. The comment period officially ended Friday.
The letter says that the topic of expansion - tied closely to the management of the prairie dog - has the potential to significantly impact the agriculture industry in the 12 states involved in the proposal.
The proposal includes steps to reintroduce and expand the area for black-footed ferret populations in twelve states from Texas to North Dakota.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's defense minister said he did not believe AgustaWestland's denial that it paid bribes in a $750 million helicopter deal, but would wait for an inquiry before deciding on action that could see the order canceled.
Defense Minister A.K. Antony said the company had responded to a show cause notice demanding it explain accusations by Italian prosecutors that millions of euros in kickbacks were paid to clinch the deal for a dozen luxury helicopters.
India has frozen payments for the helicopters pending an inquiry by the country's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and has said it is seeking to cancel the deal.
"They have denied the whole thing. We don't believe it," Antony said during a rowdy parliamentary debate in which he came under opposition fire for not investigating the allegations of corruption earlier.
He did not explain why he did not accept the denial.
Earlier this month, Italy arrested Giuseppe Orsi, the head of Finmeccanica, the parent company of AgustaWestland, on accusations he organized bribe paying. Orsi, now in custody, has since resigned.
"We are waiting for the CBI," Antony said, reiterating that under an integrity pact signed by the company, India had the right to cancel the contract and pay no compensation if bribery were proved.
In recent years, India has emerged as the world's largest weapons importer, but procurements are periodically held up by allegations of corruption. Finmeccanica could be blacklisted in India for at least five years if investigators prove bribery.
Finmeccanica and AgustaWestland both declined to comment. Finmeccanica shares were largely unmoved after Antony's comments, up 0.2 percent at 3.7 euros at 1501 GMT.
The defense minister, nicknamed St. Antony for his squeaky-clean image, asked the CBI to investigate the allegations for the first time earlier this month, despite the fact that they first surfaced a year ago.
Opposition leader Arun Jaitley questioned Antony's argument that the government had not acted sooner because Italy had refused to share details of its investigation, saying the minister was "passing the buck."
"Italians have done their job by arresting the bribe giver, you have not done the job to arrest the bribe taker."

Dear Jack William, (adding William is usually reserved for my stern voice, but it kinda rolls off my to tongue and I like the sound of it!)
Happy birthday to the most excited birthday boy ever! You could hardly wait for this day! Even in Miss Molly's class's she said you, unlike your classmates, proudly wore your birthday crown ALL day. You are becoming quite the little boy. Somewhere over the past year you went from following your sister around to playing good guys and bad guys. You have ventured into Legos, octanots, superheroes and most recently teenage mutant ninja turtles. You are so obsessed with TMNT. I think you believe you are one of the ninja turtles, so for your birthday we bought you a few dress up toys to get into your character. You have also changed daddies identity to the shredder and rarely let him come out of character. You also love wrestling showing everyone how fast you are, being dirty and using your imagination. You also enjoy coloring and tend to spend quite a bit of time with Cora at the art table in the playroom. Over the past month or so, you and Cora are working pretty hard on all of your art for the art show- which I understand will be about 20 people at our house all here to invest big money into your masterpieces.
Your days have been filled over the past year with loving on your baby brother, whom you adore, and playing with Cora. Dean thinks you hung the moon, while Cora thinks you should hang it for her. With Dean you are a superhero that he admires and with Cora you are a little boy to lecture in her never ending classroom. You have enjoyed your 2 days a week in Miss Molly's 3 yr old class and have loved making some good buddies along with continuing your love affair with Miss Caroline. Molly reports that you are very bright and can do most tasks very well.
Some of my favorite moments with you are usually putting you to bed. He went through a phase where you would grab my cheeks and tell me what is your "best mama" and I would tell you you are my "best Jack". You've always been a bit of a romantic as you have a big heart full of love. I also have loved watching you care for your baby brother. You take full responsibility for him when he's in your zone and have even asked me on occasion if I wouldn't mind watching him so you could go to the bathroom. I also love the times when you and I can steal a few minutes to ourselves or have a mommy son date. Back in the fall we played with some of your John Deer tractors in the mud where we were landscaping and high-fived our wheels saying "hi wheels". Moments where I can get lost in your imagination and give you all of my attention are So sweet and are never boring. I am very aware that you are now a middle child and I do my best to get away and still moments like this with you as often as I can.
Jack, you are such a sweet boy and I am so blessed to be your mommy. I believe that God will use you in great ways as you learn about his unconditional love for you. You want to following in Cora's footsteps and ask Jesus into your heart. We have not ran with this desire just yet as we are waiting for you to have a better understanding and know what it means to be a disciple of Jesus'. But, I pray that this year you will get closer to understanding what it all means and finally make that decision! Daddy and I often pray that you are a leader using your smile and big heart to influence others for God wherever He takes you! Love Mommy!

Return to urban core spurring infill multifamily development
- Brent Spraggins, Contributing Writer
The influx of new residents combined with market conditions and fewer urban development opportunities have helped infill multifamily residential development — a type of development that had been uncommon in Austin — to flourish.
The nation's fastest-growing city has witnessed a steady stream of new arrivals — more than 150 people per day. And while a majority of these new Austinites would love to live downtown or in the urban core, with the city's apartment rental occupancy rates eclipsing 95 percent, for many that's more difficult than an August without air conditioning.
Austin has long been associated with the University of Texas, and for years rental properties targeted students, but the past few years have seen a shift in our local population. As one of the nation's strongest cities to weather the recession, along with the technology sector's continued local growth, Austin has seen its population trend more toward young professionals, consisting of 20- and 30-somethings early in their careers.
This robust market segment places great importance on location — being close to the energy of urban living — as well as residences based on community, which some may think of as "lifestyle housing" with shared amenities.
Along with this demographic change, continued growth has left fewer attractive, undeveloped parcels within Austin's urban core, placing even greater value on infill properties that can meet young renters' desires for community and urban living.
Collectively, these factors have raised land values in the urban core, and smart developers recognize they must maximize every square inch of a prized urban site. In order to achieve a return on their investment, it's important to find the right number and size of units, limit surface parking and provide connectivity to adjacent amenities and activities, including parks, the lake and trail, shops, bars, restaurants and events.

Boulder company unveils plans for private moon missions
- Staff Denver Business Journal
A Boulder company whose executives include former NASA officials unveiled plans Thursday to launch a commercial program to carry paying passengers to the moon.
Golden Spike Co. would charge two passengers roughly $1.5 billion to fly to the moon and back.
Among Golden Spike's executives are CEO Alan Stern, a former NASA science chief, and chairman Gerry Griffin, a former head of NASA's Johnson Space Center, NBC News reports.
Other ex-NASA officials have signed on as advisers, as have former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as well as former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who proposed building a permanent moon base in his run for president.
The company announced its intentions Thursday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
In a statement, Golden Spike said it would market its services "to nations, individuals, and corporations with lunar exploration objectives and ambitions."
It did not set a timetable for its missions, saying it would use existing rockets as well as commercial space vehicles now under development where possible.
The company anticipates 15 to 20 flights in the first decade after debuting its service.
Humans last visited the moon 40 years ago aboard Apollo 17, the last NASA mission to earth's natural satellite. There are no specific government plans to return there.
The name "Golden Spike" refers to the ceremonial spike driven in the deserts of Utah in 1869 in a ceremony marking the completion of the first trans-continental railroad.
Golden Spike's announcement came a day after the National Research Council, in a report requested by NASA, blasted the direction of the U.S. space program as largely aimless and lacking a guiding strategy.

Quint Davis has worked on the New Orleans Jazz Fest since its inception in 1970. The festival's founder, George Wein, recruited Davis, then a student at Tulane University, to help round up artists for that first Jazz Fest. Davis went on to become the festival's producer/director and public face. After nearly being fired in 2004 by the non-profit board that owns the festival, he and his Festival Productions Inc.-New Orleans partnered with international entertainment powerhouse AEG Live to co-produce Jazz Fest. The result has been a decade of stability and profitability.
