Seattle, WA -- April 18, 2001 -- Silicon Valley Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Silicon Valley Bancshares, announced it provided Airbiquity Inc. $1.5 million in equipment financing. Airbiquity, a wireless voice and data technology company in the global positioning system (GPS) space, will use the financing for office equipment, furniture and telecom equipment.
"More than just dollars, Airbiquity appreciates the value that Silicon Valley Bank brings to our company," said Marty Heimbigner, vice president of finance and accounting for Airbiquity. "This available resource will help us continue our tremendous growth within the location commerce space."
The majority of GPS companies require the wireless carrier to make changes to their systems, often times via additional capital expenditures, in order to implement the GPS technology. Airbiquity is unique because it uses the carrier's existing voice channel to carry their signal from the source to the respondent, thus allowing the carrier to forego system changes and capital expenditures.
"Airbiquity is a leader in the wireless space because of the unique way they're positioned," said Art Hiemstra, manager of Silicon Valley Bank's Seattle office. "As the revenue stream from existing and new Airbiquity clients grows, Silicon Valley Bank's relationship with them will continue to develop. Silicon Valley Bank will stand ready to meet their needs with additional equipment financing as their customer and employee base grows."

"It takes being bronzed to make me feel slimmer, even though I go to the gym for an hour a day. I've gone to tanning salons at least twice a week since I was 15 years old. Yes, I know it's really dangerous, stupid and awful for my skin, but part of me just doesn't care." —Hannah, 25
Courtesy of Subject
"Hannah thinks she looks more toned tan. So I said, 'Why not actually get toned?' To build muscle, she needed to do resistance training. The first two weeks, I focused on strength moves—squats, lunges and push-ups—and cardio intervals, like alternating between running and walking—one minute each—for a half hour. By week three, she had a 50-minute total-body weight workout to do three days a week, with optional 30-minute cardio intervals on other days. With this and a good diet, she'll feel and look stronger." —Rob Sulaver, certified personal trainer–owner, Bandana Training, New York City
Jorg Badura
"I love long cardio sessions, so when Rob gave me a routine consisting mostly of weight training, I thought, Not going to happen. I knew that if I didn't love the workout, then I wouldn't keep doing it. It was tough. But I was determined to make a change, and I told myself, If I can commit to one session at a time, I'll eventually feel more comfortable. And it was true! I got a spray tan that played up my muscles, and my friends went on and on about how sculpted I looked. I'm at a good place with my weight now, and when I celebrate my birthday in Florida, I think, for once, I'll wear sunscreen."
Fernando Milani
"The vitamin D boosts my mood! I started going to tanning beds when I was 20. I knew the risks were tremendous, but I love feeling the heat on my skin. And because I don't wear a swimsuit in the bed, I can avoid annoying tan lines. It's not as if I go really dark. I'm just looking for that rosy, sun-kissed glow." —Alissa, 22
"People often blame low mood on vitamin D deficiency, but the scientific link is fairly weak. Alissa's vitamin D levels turned out to be normal, so we considered what else might be driving her habit. I suspect it's a Pavlovian response. When Alissa senses the warmth and light, her brain says, 'This is my happy time.' Because even a little sunlight can offer an energy surge, we figured out a strategy: Go out in the morning when the sun is weakest for 15 minutes, then put on SPF 30 sunscreen. She'll get all the benefits within that small window of time." —Henry S. Lodge, M.D., associate clinical professor of medicine at Columbia University and SELF contributing expert
Stephanie Rausser
"I have made a point to walk to work on sunny mornings, and, surprisingly, it makes me happy! As for sunscreen, I admit the SPF number I chose isn't as high as the doctor would like. But considering I never used anything before, it's still a big improvement. Spray tans are helping wean me off the bed, too. I got my first one ever, and when I woke up the day after my initial session, I saw a healthy glow, which I liked. What was missing was the mood lift I normally get with heat and light— it's hard giving that up. But if I stick with it, hopefully, in 10 years, my skin will look just as good as it does right now."
Fernando Milani
"Having a tan hides my breakouts. It darkens my skin and makes it more even. I wouldn't call myself a tanning junkie, but I've been making weekly salon visits in winter and more frequent ones in summer. I want to learn new, healthier ways to get the same results. I don't want to cringe when people ask me, 'Do you go tanning?' and I have to reply, 'Uh, yeah.'" —Anna, 32
"Anna had stress-induced pimples. First, I gave her a mild chemical peel as a jump start to clearing clogged pores. Because her skin needs gentle, regular exfoliation, I provided a wash and a moisturizer with alpha hydroxy acids and salicylic acid, as well as a sulfur-based acne spot treatment. She has sensitive skin, and sulfur controls oil and reduces surface bacteria without overdrying. Three weeks later, Anna's complexion is radiant." —Dennis Gross, M.D., dermatologist, NYC
Riccardo Tinelli
"My skin looks great! After my first visit with Dr. Gross, I thought tanning would be so much easier! Eventually, I got used to my routine, and now I have no new blemishes and the old ones have disappeared. Will I tan again? I'll reconsider salons, although I'll go to the beach using sunscreen with SPF 30. But this process has taught me a lot: A quick fix is always tempting, but it's not worth the damage in the long run."

To Melancholy
by Charlotte Smith
Analysis: Allusions
When poets refer to other great works, people, and events, it's usually not accidental. Put on your super-sleuth hat and figure out why.
Literary and Philosophical References
Thomas Otway was a poet and playwright from the late 1600s that Charlotte Smith particularly admired (he gets referenced in some of her other poems, too). Otway was famous for writing about human emotions in a believable way. This was uncommon at the time when he was writing, when most playwrights wrote tragedies in a wooden, artificial-sounding way. Smith, like most other Romantic-era poets, valued authentic, legitimate-sounding emotion very highly, and tried to emulate poets like Otway who were able to get natural-sounding emotions across in literature.

The second episode of the new season of "Young Americans" explores the issue of the Asian-American experience. Season 2 of "Young Americans"—the series created by Scion AV and VICE —finds director and producer of Lance Bangs travelling the United States talking to people about ethnicity.
This episode gets at just how diverse, and misunderstood, the Asian-American experience in the U.S. can be. Some of the topics covered include overcoming stereotypes, the assumptions of others, reconciling mixed race heritage and evolving relationships with the country your ancestors came from. As you'd expect, it's all fascinatingly complex.

Starbucks: Dempsey Unfairly Charmed Tully's Auctioneers
Losers at the bankruptcy auction for the Tully's coffee shops are asking the court to reject the winning $9.1 million bid from actor Patrick Dempsey, arguing that the "Grey's Anatomy" star whom Hollywood calls "McDreamy" unfairly charmed auctioneers to win the 47-location chain without putting in the highest bid.
Anyone who's ever looked into his eyes would understand.
But after losing the 13-hour auction last week Starbucks and another group were left waving their $10.5 million combined offer in frustration. Starbucks and others are now pushing Judge Karen Overstreet of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Seattle to reject Mr. Dempsey's lower bid at a Friday afternoon hearing.
The Denver private equity firm that put in the very first bid of $4.3 million accused Mr. Dempsey's company of creating a spectacle that "may have impeded financing for qualified bidders and creates the appearance that its bid was favored," its attorneys complained in court papers.
Mr. Dempsey does know how to create a feel-good moment. The Seattle Times gushed over his bid, welcoming Mr. Dempsey's company as a "rescue squad" for the recession-battered chain. Television cameras waited outside the auction to capture his moment.
The next day, Mr. Dempsey celebrated alongside Tully's Chief Executive Scott Pearson by visiting Tully's to make the baristas blush.
"Seattle has been very good to me over my career, and I am honored to have the privilege to own Tully's and work closely with the company's employees," Mr. Dempsey said in a press release. "After a celebratory cup of Joe, we will immediately begin the transition of the company and implementing our vision for quality customer service and building the Tully's brand."
Tully's needs to persuade Judge Overstreet to approve the bid first.
In court papers filed Thursday, Mr. Pearson threw his support behind McDreamy's offer to keep the chain intact, which would save its 480 jobs. Customers could still use their $5.4 million worth of unspent gift cards, he said.
"Many Tully's customers strongly prefer, and paid for a Tully's product, as opposed to Starbucks," said Mr. Pearson in court papers.
Of course, the plot thickens behind the scenes.
An underplayed key reason that Mr. Dempsey's bid won, Mr. Pearson said in court papers, was that Tully's coffee supplier Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is trying to protect its sales pipeline.
As Tully's exclusive roaster, Green Mountain has the power to cause a fuss that would delay the sale, which its executives promised to do if Starbucks won the right to buy some stores, Mr. Pearson said in court papers. But with Green Mountain's blessing, a winning bidder could purchase the company by the end of the month.
Starbucks planned to wipe the Tully's name off of its 13 locations and add to growing roster of 700 Starbucks that are located throughout Washington state. The converted stores would not sell Green Mountain-brewed coffee.

Tesla stock soared 14 percent to nearly $250 a share today on its plans for a huge "gigafactory" to produce lower-cost lithium-ion batteries.
In addition, Morgan Stanley issued a decidedly upbeat report on Tesla, predicting that the company's share of electric car and battery sales will continue to grow dramatically.
In fact, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas predicted that Tesla's revenues will be 60 times higher in 2026 than they are today, Autoblog.com reported.
The financial company also doubled its target price for Tesla's stock from $153 to $320.
Besides all that, Consumer Reports recently named the Tesla Model S its best overall pick for 2014.
Bloomberg pointed out that Tesla's plans for a large lithium-ion battery factory could have effects far outside the auto industry.
Consumers are turning to battery storage as a way to reduce electricity bills and sever ties with utility companies, Bloomberg said.
If Tesla succeeds in lowering the cost of lithium-ion batteries, battery packs in electric cars would become cheaper, theoretically dropping the price of the cars.
But cheaper lithium-ion batteries could also accelerate consumers' moves to find alternative power sources for their homes.
"If it can be a leader in commercializing battery packs, investors may never look at Tesla the same way again," Jonas said.

Commercials for the auto industry will be a stronger presence during this year's Super Bowl XLV, said a Michigan State University advertising instructor who, along with about a dozen of his colleagues, will be rating this year's commercials.
It will be the 14th year in a row that faculty from MSU's Department of Advertising, Public Relations and Retailing gather on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 6, to rate the commercials, spots that will cost as much as $3 million for 30 seconds of air time.
It also will mark the first time since its 2009 bankruptcy that General Motors has bought Super Bowl airtime, purchasing five, 30-second commercials.
"The auto companies are racing back into the Super Bowl," said Robert Kolt. "This year there are 15 commercials scheduled by auto companies. Hyundai will run more ads and Mercedes will air its first-ever Super Bowl ad."
Also for the first time this year the MSU faculty will abandon their pencils and pads and use electronic technology to rate the ads. They will be using "clicker" technology that will allow them to view the results real-time during the game.
Last year, a commercial for Google that told the story of a long-distance relationship earned the top grade from the MSU professors.
Kolt also points out that last year a political unknown named Rick Snyder began his campaign for governor by airing his "one tough nerd" commercials during the Super Bowl.

Welcome to the new site.July 9 2008 at 9:00 pm 5 Comments
It's been a couple years in the making, and I'm excited to say, "it's here!"
Welcome to our church's newly designed website and this blog. (Aaah, just what the world needs—another blog!) Please poke around the new website and let us know what you think. I think you'll find the resource section particularly useful. And members, you're going to love the new photo directory!
But let me tell you about the vision for this blog.
On a weekly basis, my goal here will be to share a bit of the unique perspective I have as a pastor in seeing the many ways that God is at work in our midst. So I want to highlight how he's speaking to us through his word preached, what the pastors are thinking and praying about and where God's grace is at work in different people and ministries. The Bible talks about the eternal and heavenly significance of what God is doing in and through his church (see Ephesians 3:10), and I hope that this blog, in a small way, will reflect this reality.
The audience I'm writing for is local—members of this local church and neighbors in our local community. So if you're reading from Idaho, that's great but—no offense—I won't be writing for you. My scope is intentionally limited. I'm not trying to be "the blog for all nations." Rather, I just want to talk about how the gospel of Jesus Christ is transforming lives in this town and this church family.
I also want this to be a place where you can add your voice to the topics and themes discussed. Now if you've spent any amount of time on the internet or other blogs, you know the comments section can often get a little hairy. So let me explain how we'll handle comments here. Comments are welcome, but we will moderate them. So while all comments will be read, we won't post every one. Thanks for understanding the need for this. Also, just like the blog itself, I'd like to keep comments primarily from locals—for people visiting the church and for members here. Finally, I ask that comments stay on the topic of the post.
All that being said, I'd love to get your feedback on the new site. The staff has been working so hard to get this ready for you. Please leave a comment telling them what you like.
Thanks for reading. I look forward to interacting with you as we celebrate God's grace at work in our church.
Share this on:
I appreciate all of the work that has gone into the new website. It makes the 12,000 mile difference in our locations not seem so far away! And I, who has been called "anti-technology" by my children, was able to easily navigate through the site. Thank you so much for always striving to improve what is already excellent at Covenant Life, to make it even better—after all these years, that still impresses me.
Jane Choi (Bangkok, Thailand—but we'll be back!)
Being members from the most "northern out-post" of Carroll County, this will help us feel connected even more. Being at CovLife has transformed our whole family in the way we walk out our Christian lives. We will check your blog often. Glad we do not live in Idaho!By Sharon Fogarty on 07/11/2008
I am so excited about this website! Thank you for all the hard work that has gone into this project. What a blessing it's going to make in the day to day life of our church family. It will be so fun to hear a name and actually be able to go put a face with it. :o)
With gratefulness,
I am excited about the prayer wall! Since we became members, I've been wanting to have a way to know what our fellow members' needs are so we can pray for them as a community. I think this will make our large family experience more personal. For example, who knew that the Hydoskis are adopting a little girl from Ethiopia? How cool is that! What a blessing this feature will be! I hope folks will post the answers to their requests on the wall, too, so we can rejoice with them. Have to add that I was pretty surprised that, after ALL THOSE not-so-subtle hints, so many photos are still absent. Do people still have an opportunity to send in photos? (HINT, HINT.) Thanks, Web team!By Mieke Clincy on 07/11/2008
This is just a very cool and thoroughly useful, fun and completely amazing job. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Well done, I really like it (can you tell?).

"Anything that benefits Wal Mart, and benefits our community," Sala said.
Elk Grove's Unique Online Google News Source
Founded 11 January 2008
You may not like this website,
But here you are!
What an incredibly poor showing by our council last night. EGFB and EGPAL literally became "financial whores" for Wal-Mart. "What is good for Wal-Mart is good for Elk Grove"? REALLY? I commend Davis for his stance..he seemed to take these folks to task..something he rarely does...and Cooper was consistent in his distaste for Wal-Mart. With multiple other locations in the SAME parking lot to purchase alcohol, why was it necessary to grant Wal-Mart this CUP? The small, family owned liquor stores in EG just got a boot in their ass, compliments of the council..."business friendly" you say? Only if you are Wal-Mart. Lasar focused on neighborhoods? Why allow another place to purchase your booze? Crime rate rising? Yup, let's provide another spot for hoodums to gather and purchase booze. What are these guys thinking? So, the only question left to ask is "When is the next Super WalMart coming to town?"
The Food Bank should be ashamed to support liquor sales. What in the world were they thinking? The Food Bank should reconsider this move. Their reputation is on the line. Marie Jacino, Executive Director of the Food Bank; what do you say? Are dollars more important than people's lives/ well-being? Shameful is the only word to describe this.
The Elk Grove Food Bank does a great job of serving a marginalized segment of our community and they are to be complimented for their on-going outreach efforts. Having said that, I agree with Mayor Davis that their appearance before the council on behalf of Wal Mart was inappropriate.
There is a nice piece of land at Power Inn and Sheldon Roads for a Walmart Supercenter. As not so in the past, dnd by his vote last night, Steve Detrick now won't mind Walmart being his neighbor! After all, by the testimony last night, Walmart is everyone's good neighbor!!
Strange bed fellows indeed. All I can say is follow the money. It can be the only reason for such odd behavior.
I must say that I was disgusted with the comments and support of the liquor license shown by the food bank and PAL, two groups that do so much good for our community.
I wholeheartedly agree with the author here and Mayor Davis that the food bank and PAL were hypocritical of their missions.
I guess money can buy just about anything. Sad to see our local non-profits are for sale, just like cheap street walkers.
- Just awful!
....watch the city council meeting. I remember a time a liquor store just wanted to move across the street to a bigger building to offer more products(not alcohol) from a current site and were denied. Their move would of not increased liquor sales on the block or street.....this however was a "small business"....need I say more....follow the money.
Looks like city council last night put a nail in the coffin of another of Elk Grove's independent mom and pop businesses.
Approving the sale of alcohol to Wal-Mart will likely lead to the demise of another local longtime business(es) here. - No way an independent shop can match the prices that Wal-Mart offers on booze.
Pretty soon, it will be Wal-Mart or nothing. The council continues to kill the local entrepeneur, despite their mantra to bring more business into town. When will they wake up and see what they are doing to our community?
Their continued actions should scare off any potential new business that isn't supported by a million dollar corporation that can line the pockets of our electeds.
And shame on the EG Food bank and EGPAL for supporting a liquor license for Wal-Mart. Very poor taste and lack of foresight. My future donations will find non-profits that are true to their stated missions. Marie, what were you thinking?
For what it is worth, it should be noted that Steve Detrick quickly seconded the motion to approve presented by Pat Hume. Detrick's political existence came about because of his opposition to a proposed Super Wal Mart across the street from his house.
Talk about back sliding!
As for the Food Bank, I can't imagine Marie had any knowledge of this presentation. Just so out of character for her. Did Sala, Lewis and DeYoung watch tapes of Gil Moore parading all his supporters before the city council for guidance?
Lynn, I recall that meeting. You are correct. They denied that local shop an expansion, yet allow Wal-Mart less than a year after opening (thanks for pointing that out Councilman Cooper)to bring in alcohol, at a cost that will kill all local shops.
Councilman Detrick has forgotten from where he came. His ego or pocketbook have jaded his once thoughtful views he had as a citizen's advocate.
The king is dead, long live the king.
- I hope Elk Grove can weather the brewing storm.
I missed the council meeting but was at the Planning Commission meeting. Overall everything seeemed in order and there was not any reasons not to give them the CUP with a 5-0 vote to recommnd the CUP to the council. Even the Police Chief did not find enough of a reason to recommend denial at the PC level.
If the store was a Nugget, Raley's, Bel Air, or a Safeway would you want denial
as well?
How many people and business spoke out against the CUP for Wal Mart at the council meeting? That may make a difference on how the councilmembers vote.
Wishful thinking.
Follow the money!
Our city council hasn't been responsive to the citizens (over wishes of developers and deep pocket corporates) since our inception.
Money talks, all else gets bulldozed!
Perhaps the uninformed trust that our elected officials will do what is best for the future of our city. Voter turnout proves we are a city of generally apathetic ostriches with our heads buried in the sand. That is unfortunate.
To circle back, the EGFBS, EGPAL and Mr. DeYoung's appearance on behalf of Wal Mart is emblematic of the state of affairs we have subjected ourselves too.
Whether you are a politician seeking office or reelection or a food bank director hoping to serve an ever expanding clientele, we are all at the mercy of corporate giants who control the food we eat, the air we breath, the water we drink and the media news that we are fed. We are living in the illusion of freedom that we have been fed.
To Anon at 17:04:
Citizen participation in this process would not have swayed any of the council members. In fact, many citizens no longer attend meetings due to this lack of respect given to them by the council. Additionally, council members seem to take the opportunity to "correct" citizens when citizens stand up to give their opinions, thoughts or concerns. How many times will citizens take this abuse before they stop attending? I know I no longer attend meetings because I could always count on one (or two) council members "correcting" me or chiding me about my opinions. Apparently few are allowed to have opinions. So, if you think attending a meeting; speaking to an issue or proposing an alternative will change anything; you need to do a reality check. In this town, money and ego run the show.
I am concerned when I continue to attend meetings and the citizen participation has dropped. Yes, the council gets the last word following the citizen's allotted three minutes, and the citizen doesn't have an opportunity to respond, so the council will continue to have the last word. However, citizens I encourage and actually am beginning to plead for attendance at the meetings. Citizen's do not have to approach the podium or speak, however what citizen's hear at the meetings can be shared with others outside the meeting and citizens can begin to have dialog, unite, pack our council chambers, demonstrate we all want to be a part of our democracy. The mayor encourages us to speak as it is "Our House". We will loose our house if we abandon it. What happens to an abandon house? Varmints move in and decay and blight occur. Who pays for this? Everyone of us who pay our taxes and choose not to maintain "Our House". Democracy can only work with everyone educating themselves and participating. So citizens you matter! Attend the meetings. Remember with other citizens, your friends, and families you are not limited to 3 minutes. Share, discuss and remember citizens it is Our House!
Why are any of us surprised at Walmart's tactics here? It is certainly working in the city of Sacramento to overturn the big box ordinance. Walmart has donated millions of dollars to Sacramento council member's favorite charities. This is just another way Wal-Mart is making an aggressive push to attract political support.
The Bee wrote an editorial on this very subject.
So it is no surprise that EGPAL is a Walmart favorite charity Steve Detrick in particular actively supports, and then they parade their executive director to sing Walmart's praises to sell liquor.
And right on cue, Detrick jumps on the second.
But it appears Elk Grove charities are lower are the Walmart charity donation scale. Walmart has only donated thousands, not millions.
It only goes to prove that Elk Grove City Council votes are a cheaper buy than the Sacramento City Council. At least hold out for a million or so for our local charities to make this prostitution of votes a little easier to swallow!
And as was said by Pat Hume once before from the dais paraphrasing: "Do I have to buy your dinner beforehand or can you just leave the money on the table?
I agree with the words from Lynn regarding the varmint moving into city hall. The varmint have already taken over the city hall and we all need to disconnect from the wires and indeed take back city hall.
So, by a show of hands how many people here have donated to EGPAL?
How many of you have given food to the food bank, and not just that $0.89 turkey at Thanksgiving?
Love them or hate them Walmart knows how to get support in communities to implement their business model. I remember reading that when the market and the new Walmart opened they handed out donations to different groups.
I have heard that if not for the food donated from Walmart the food bank would be very limited in the number of people they could serve.
As my good freind General Washington used to say...
Don't Hate the Players
Hate the Game.
I just listened carefully to the tape of the meeting.
Surprisingly, the Food Bank gal (Sala) said the FB did support the issuance of a liquor license because "what benefits Walmart benefits Elk Grove". She specifically mentions the license and supported it being granted.
Now, the PAL gal (Lewis) was much more sedate in her words. She simply said WM was a great corporate sponsor who has done great things for her organization. Period. She did not mention a license or the motion before the council. So, as much as you might want to chastise her, she chose her words carefully.
Mr. DeYoung, supported the liquor license because WM needs to be able to be competitive with other stores. (I find this quite silly as Walmart undercuts every single mom and pop store around but now they want a level playing field?). But since I don't know Mr. DeYoung's conncetion to any youth/homeless groups, then I guess as a citizen, he can support whatever he desires.
The bottom line = FoodBank should be ashamed for actively supporting a liquor license for anyone.
Next thing you know, Walmart will be "donating" 12packs of Pabst Blue Ribbon to the food bank.
Come on now, Wal-Mart isn't that cheap that they can close down the smaller mom and pop liquor stores, I still buy my booze at Rite-Aid, a lot cheaper than Wal-Mart.
Anon @12:25
Get back to me in 1 year. Let's see who's open for business and who's closed.
And, here's the uncomfortable truth, folks... There was no specific, quantifiable reason presented that gave the council any reason to deny the application.
Councilman Cooper only made the point that a higher larceny rate has been observed at Walmart than any other similar store. While it was an important point, he did not attempt to make the case that allowing alcohol sales would increase larceny in the store or increase crime rates in the surrounding community.
Aside from the generalizations and bias against Walmart, there was and is no specific, justifiable reason to deny their request. (And, by the way, I don't like Walmart and choose not to shop there but that's for other reasons that are irrelevant to the current discussion!)
And, again, while I am no fan of Walmart, I suggest that before you criticize them for what you would deem disingenuous philanthropy, you should open up your wallets and give of your time. The rest of us that are out there working in the community to raise funds for projects sure could use your help (and, no, I'm not being sarcastic - I'm serious).
How can anyone possibly think that one more store selling booze in Elk Grove is going to make any difference one way or another?
well if were going to be so anti walmart selling liquor, we might as well fight the 250+ other places in elk grove that sell it as well....if its not bought there its going to be bought somewhere else..jim and gary are only dissenting it for political reasons and its near there districts..if were to to ban nugget and bel air from selling it, they would quickly change their minds...but back to the article issue.....
it has NOTHING to do with an additional liquor store; it has EVERYTHNG to do with a Non Profit organization whose mission it is to combat hungry; homelessness and substance abuse openly and gleefully supporting ANY liquor license. Period.

text: Posted November 17, 2012 As a native for numerous decades, wonder why this is never discussed. interesting. as for why it is never discussed, Charlotte likes to ignore much of its history. They no longer teach of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence either. everytime I look into the history of Charlotte I find something new and interesting that is largely ignored/unknown to those in the city. For example, did you know the first publicly supported school in the U.S. Was actually in Charlotte and not Chapel Hill? It was shut down by the king however and never actually made it to the official creation of the U.S. and has been largely lost in history books. How little Charlotte history remains is sad. We have destroyed so much of the past in the name of parking lots. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Morning Leverage: Roark Capital Hopes Its Next Deal Is a Wash
Top stories in this morning's LBO Wire:
Got a dirty rail car? Roark Capital Group may soon have the company for you. The firm is in talks to buy tank-cleaning company QualaWash Holdings from KLH Capital, Michael Wursthorn reports exclusively for LBO Wire. QualaWash (which we assume is pronounced "koala-wash," given that the company's logo features one of the eucalyptus-loving marsupials) performs interior and exterior tank cleaning, pump and hose cleaning, waste water treatment and rail car cleaning, the last of which makes us wonder: Do circuses still travel by rail? If so, we don't envy the person who gets that cleaning job.
And now, a banner deal for ACON Investments and MidOcean Partners: The firms have merged their existing outdoor advertising businesses, LBO Wire's Mohammed Sergie reports. ACON's Fairway Outdoor Advertising and MidOcean-backed Olympus Media are integrating to form Fairway Media Group, in which ACON will hold a majority stake.
ACON founding partner Ken Brotman said outdoor advertising is the only part of "the media pie where the Internet is not threatening you," the Internet assumingly being represented by some sort of pie-devouring LOLCat in this analogy (and we thought they preferred cheeseburgers).

I've always considered myself a swimmer. So when I decided to swim laps as a way to add variety to my winter fitness routine, I thought, okay, I'll just jump in and go. I lasted three minutes, probably less, before stopping, gasping for air at the poolside.
That experience got me thinking: just as I considered myself a swimmer, anybody with a blog or a website is a publisher. Trouble is, like swimming, being an effective and efficient publisher takes practice and skill. And that's why many publications are sinking. Long on words and short on readability and usability, websites and corporate reports of all kinds are leaving readers exhausted and frustrated.
Websites: too much dud content
Let's start with corporate websites, where content continues to pour online unchecked. According to Gerry McGovern, founder and CEO of Customer Carewords, the online publishing model no longer works. Why? Too much dud content, says McGovern. Content that should never have been published in the first place isn't being removed because of a "cult of volume."
"Giving a website to a communicator or a marketer is like giving a pub to an alcoholic," says McGovern. "It's happy days. It's publish, publish and be damned."
A 2012 survey conducted by McGovern polled over 1,000 people, 94% of whom either work with or consult to organizations on their online presence. When asked to rank the top five principles of managing an online presence, the top-ranked answer was: "Ensure customers quickly and easily complete their top task." "Keep content as concise and simple as possible," was ranked fourth.
How effectively are these principles being applied? Not very, according to McGovern. "Many, many websites we work with, when they delete 80–90% of their content, conversions go up by 100%. Support requests go down between 30% and 40%."
McGovern isn't alone in this assessment. According to web usability expert Jakob Nielsen, users skip 72% to 80% of online content. Why? The most common complaint is that it takes too long to find relevant information. Other problems include poorly planned information architecture, ineffective writing, complex design and needless images.
Annual reports: static and stale content
Paddling over to the corporate reporting lane in the information pool, we find annual reports similarly awash in words. Reports have doubled in length to 103 pages in the past 16 years, according to a survey of annual reports by Deloitte. In 2012, words overtook numbers, as narrative made up 51% of the report and the financial statements 49%. The study found that longer annual reports require "a serious level of content, cohesion and connected thought and information." However, only 14% of companies produced a report that Deloitte considered cohesive.
The quality of annual reports is improving, but far too much content is still boilerplate. That may make interesting reading for accountants and regulators, but not for the average reader. According to Deloitte, annual reports contain six pages, on average, of accounting policy statements that repeat the requirements of new and old standards. Static risk management disclosure generally adds another four pages, and a massive 32 pages in one instance.
Unfortunately, the push for greater disclosure may be impeding clear and meaningful communication. It also creates a major challenge for annual report preparers, as nobody has the authority, much less the courage, to remove or find a better home for static and stale content.
Sustainability reports: content for experts only?
Diving into the next lane, we find a relative newcomer to the information pool: the Global Reporting Initiative or GRI. A non-profit organization that promotes economic, environmental and social sustainability reporting, the GRI provides a reporting framework that is increasingly used worldwide as demand grows for such reporting. The question is, how much is enough?
The GRI apparently thinks more is better, as it plans to issue new expanded G4 reporting guidelines this summer. Trouble is, the majority of readers and reporters are worried that more is anything but better.
According to a summary of 649 public comments received on the proposed guidelines, of those responding to the survey questions, 67% agreed that the proposed guidelines achieved a proper balance between economic, governance, environmental and social indicators.
Significantly, only 27% agreed that the guidelines will drive cost-effective preparation of sustainability reporting for all organizations. And just 28% agreed that the guidelines would apply to organizations of various sizes in their region. In other words, readers and reporters both expressed reservations about added length, higher cost and lower relevance.
Indeed, concern about the next generation of sustainability reporting persuaded Lucinda Hensman, head of sustainability communications at Coca-Cola Enterprises, to post an opinion arguing that the average reader is, or is about to be, overloaded with sustainability data.
"In short, there is a danger that we are creating an industry in which sustainability professionals write for sustainability professionals – one which preaches to the converted," comments Hensman. Amen to that.
Rescuing publications
While we're waiting for the information pool to be drained or bailed, let's look at a few floatation devices for struggling publications. Ideally, these need to be custom fitted. Generally though, publications should have at least the following four qualities to prevent them from sinking.
Reader focused. Effective content or communication strategies start with answers to a deceivingly simple question: Why? Why are we publishing this report, web page, paragraph or sentence? Why will the audience find it valuable or relevant?
Answers to "why" have a way of helping you focus on the purpose that how, when, where and what can't touch.
Clear navigation. The structure of websites and reports are quite different, of course. In each case, plan a structure that fits the purpose and audience, and then keep it consistent. That way your audience will more easily navigate the publication and convert information into knowledge.
Shorter, sharper copy. Cutting copy by 50% will, in most cases, double the usability of web content in terms of reading time, reader recall and satisfaction. Look for big blocks to cut or to avoid publishing.
Start with a bang. Make the first paragraph or section a summary rather than an introduction, especially for long documents.
Cut anything that doesn't help your audience complete their top tasks. If in doubt, choose the shorter, simpler word. And get rid of the clutter. Clarity is the goal.
Recognize, however, that cutting copy will be a fierce battle, especially copy written by others. So celebrate small victories.
Easy reading. What you can't cut, make reading easier by:
- Using scannable copy with informative headings and subheadings and short lists, which can improve readability by 45–50%.
- Removing promotional language, which forces the reader to pause or filter out hyperbole: this can improve readability by 25–30%.
- Avoid jargon, which alienates readers, who will quickly leave rather than decipher corporate code.
And that, gasp, is it. Now, back to the pool and my swimming lessons where, hopefully, I can learn to glide, roll and breathe.

Bullet-Proof Premarital Agreements
July 27, 2011Posted by on
Linda J. Ravdin, a principal in the Maryland law firm of Pasternak & Fidis, P.C., where she concentrates in divorce and family law, writes about Premarital Agreements in her article for Wealth Strategies Journal. The introduction to her article is below: The link to the full article follows.
A premarital agreement is a contract between two persons who intend to marry that determines their financial rights at the end of the marriage by death or divorce. It seems to be a fairly widespread belief that it is easy to challenge the validity of a premarital agreement in court. In one sense it is easy: A determined opponent will be able to find a lawyer who is willing to go into court and attempt to convince a judge to throw out a premarital agreement. However, it is a myth that these challenges are often successful. In fact, they rarely succeed.
But, even when the party who wants the agreement to be upheld – the proponent – wins the fight over validity, he or she often pays a heavy price in legal fees, delay, risk and uncertainty. When a proponent wins the fight over validity, often it is only after a trial and then an appeal.
The thesis of this article is that it is not enough for a premarital agreement to meet the minimum standards for validity in the state where the agreement is to be signed. Rather, the proponent's interests can be better protected if the process leading to execution and the text of the agreement discourage an attack by making it overwhelmingly difficult for an attack to succeed.

These Chinese dance students have produced a remarkable ballet gymnastics display.
The Asian powerhouse is renowned for its impeccably-prepared gymnasts and synchronised swimmers, but these girls have taken it to a whole new level with this incredible ballet-meets-gymnastics routine.
What starts out as a standard display of dance soon takes on a more extreme tack as they bend and contort their bodies into anatomy-defying shapes - all in perfect unison.
Some of the moves are eye-watering and could surely only be performed by hyper-mobile athletes trained from childhood.
And that is exactly why China is so successful at such sports - from very young ages, talented boys and girls are selected, coached and disciplined into becoming sports machines.
