Evaluation as a Tool for Developing the Quality of Academic Libraries. Case Study at a Large and Traditional Research Oriented Scandinavian University

The leaders of our universities will ask today if we offer those services that a top university requires and whether the proposed resources for the libraries are worth investing. Establishing the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) requires the establishing of quality systems. Quality assurance systems will be introduced throughout the entire European academic sector and will certainly have significant impact on the development of academic organizations. The collaborative effort to evaluate European universities is coordinated by ENQA, the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher education (Standards, 2005). Most European countries have developed a national quality assurance system. The solutions of different countries can be divided into three different classes: 1) Auditing countries[1] (institutional audit, quality audit, evaluation of quality assurance systems, enhancement-led institutional review): England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Finland, 2) Accreditation[2]: Holland, Germany and 3) Combination or another system: Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden (Audits, 2006).

Weeks earlier it had snubbed opposition attempts to discuss poor safety, insisting the measures in place were "impeccable". Even now, with characteristic insouciance, Prime Minister Erdogan claims it was just "one of those things" citing similar large-scale disasters in Britain in the 19th century (!!), as if major industrial accidents were no one's fault. The truth is very different. At Soma, cheap components- notably the electrical transformer that blew up and caused the accident - were used in preference to reliable foreign makes. Inspectors had tried to close the mine several times because of its scandalous condition, yet politicians always came to the owner's rescue. Erdogan bears a personal responsibility for all of this. He has long used the mines as a source of personal patronage, awarding licences to his cronies and by-passing state controls. The only reason Soma miners turned out in force at a recent rally of his Justice and Development Party, it now turns out, is because they were told if they didn't they'd get no lunch. It's all sadly symptomatic of a government that has lost touch with reality, morality, ethics and the rule of law.

An affiliate of Denver-based Industrial Income Trust has filed a $9.1 million loan on the 437,740-square-foot warehouse at 6380 Holmes Road in Hickory Hill.
The entity known as IIT Chickasaw LLC filed the deed of trust Dec. 27 through Jackson National Life Insurance Co. as part of a larger $105 million loan on multiple properties.
The company bought the industrial facility in a Dec. 5 special warranty deed from Industrial Property Fund VI LLC, an affiliate of Atlanta-based Industrial Developments International Inc.
Built in 2004, the Class A warehouse facility sits on 21.76 acres in the Chickasaw Distribution Center at the northwest corner of Holmes and Crumpler roads. The Shelby County Assessor of Property's 2012 appraisal was $12.2 million.
Lainie Minnick signed the trust deed as senior vice president of Industrial Income Trust, as general partner of the buyer.
The purchase marked Industrial Income Trust's second Memphis acquisition in 2012. The company in July bought an 890,000-square-foot industrial portfolio in Southeast Memphis from CRP Holdings B LP for $24.3 million.
Prior to this most recent sale, the city-county Industrial Development Board quitclaimed the property to Industrial Property Fund VI, which owned the building through the IDB's payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) program.

At their first meeting of 2013, Memphis City Council members delayed until Feb. 5 a vote on third and final reading of a "wage theft" ordinance.
Council member Myron Lowery called for the delay at the Tuesday, Jan. 8, meeting saying he wanted to wait until the Shelby County Commission takes its final vote later this month on the same ordinance.
Lowery also said negotiations are under way with the Memphis Restaurant Association and the Memphis Hotel-Motel Association on the terms of the ordinance. Both industry associations have expressed concerns about the original draft.
The council also approved a resolution asking the state for grant money to help pay the cost of infrastructure improvements for the $300 million expansion of the Nike plant in Frayser. And the council approved two street-alley closures related to the expansion near New Allen Road and Frayser Boulevard.
The council approved a special use permit for a four-story 87-room Holiday Inn Express and Suites on Elvis Presley Boulevard being built by EP3 Developers LLC. The site of the Hernando Place hotel is on 3.49 acres that is now a vacant lot on the west side of Elvis Presley near Winchester with entrances on Hernando Road.

A group of sheriffs and police chiefs is speaking out against a legislative proposal to allow wine to be sold in Tennessee grocery and convenience stores.
Madison County Sheriff David Woolfork said at a news conference at the legislative office complex in Nashville on Wednesday that greater availability of wine would come at the price of public safety because it would draw the attention of law enforcement away from more pressing issues.
Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch said a recent incident that led a fraternity to be banned from the University of Tennessee should dispel supporters' claims that underage drinkers aren't interested in obtaining wine.
In that case a 20-year-old Memphis student was hospitalized after a drinking game involving boxed wine that allegedly included consuming it through an enema.
A high-ranking member of the Craig Petties drug organization pleaded not guilty Tuesday, Jan. 8, to federal racketeering and drug conspiracy charges.
Chris Hamlet returned to the U.S. in December after serving a prison sentence in Mexico. Hamlet was indicted in 2002 by a federal grand jury in Memphis as part of an investigation that became the largest drug case ever brought in Memphis federal court.
Hamlet's court-appointed attorney, Robert L. Parris, waived a detention hearing before Federal Magistrate Tu Pham meaning Hamlet will remain in federal custody.
Hamlet fled to Mexico in 2002 along with Petties. Petties was indicted that April as the lone defendant in the first in the series of indictments that eventually mapped out a violent multi-state drug organization with direct ties to the Sinaloa drug cartel in Mexico. Petties was initially charged with possessing 600 pounds of marijuana.
Hamlet was stopped by police a month after the initial Petties indictment coming from Petties' home and authorities found drugs in the car and at his house in Raleigh.
That was when Petties and Hamlet fled to Mexico. Petties ran the drug organization from Mexico for the next six years and Hamlet was allegedly a key member of the organization.
Richard Myers has been named chief manager of Apperson Crump PLC, Memphis' oldest continuously practicing law firm. It's the second time for Myers as the firm's chief manager. He previously filled that role in 2010 and 2011.
Myers began practicing in 1992 and joined Apperson Crump in 1997. He became a partner in 2002. His practice concentrates on municipal and property law and foreclosure-related matters.
A graduate of the University of Chicago and the Cornell University Law School, Myers also is a director of the World Cataract Foundation.

In 2008 nearly 134,000 metric tons (MT) of U.S. rice, with a value of $75.5 million, was exported to Turkey. A surge in U.S. medium-grain rice is moving into Turkey — much of it U.S. milled and brown rice in containers, which totaled 54,000 MT, valued at $35 million, last year, an all-time high for Turkey.
The strength of U.S. rice imports is due in part to the U.S. government's work in lifting the import ban and to Egypt's restrictions on rice exports.
In 2006, the government of Turkey imposed an import ban on rice. Fortunately, the U.S. government raised the issue repeatedly with the Turkish government in response to action by the USA Rice Federation. USA Rice stressed that the import ban was inconsistent with Turkey's World Trade Organization (WTO) obligations and the ban was permanently lifted in July 2006 after the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) filed a WTO case against Turkey.
Subsequently, USA Rice organized seminars that provided valuable forums for the local trade and Turkish government officials to discuss issues related to the unfair trade practices and tariff system. These seminars were co-sponsored by major trade associations.
Virtually no rice was imported from the U.S. in 2007. However, due to favorable market conditions, such as Egypt's rice export ban, and the rapid development of modern retail chains, U.S. rice exports to Turkey grew significantly in 2008 and U.S. rice market share grew throughout the year.
The majority of U.S. rice moving into Turkey is California Calrose, but exports of medium-grain from the South are on the rise.
An increase in U.S. rice prices in 2008 did not hinder sales of U.S. rice to Turkey. USA Rice worked together with the importers, packers and retailers to ensure a stronger presence of U.S. rice on the shelves, which resulted in U.S. rice occupying the majority of the shelf space.
Fourteen retailers started to stock U.S. origin identified rice in 2008 for the first time as a result of our promotional activities and the wider availability of U.S. rice.
As an incentive to retailers, USA Rice organized two retail contests in November and December 2008. U.S. rice brands and retail store managers collaborated during the contest period with USA Rice to educate consumers about the high quality and nutrition of U.S. rice through tasting events, in-store advertisements, recipe brochures and flyers. The Ricky Rice mascot was used in all participating stores.
USA Rice Federation recognized the Elma Market of Bostanci, Istanbul, and the Cagri Market of Mahmutbey, Istanbul, as the winners of the "2008 Retail Chains of the Year" award. The competition resulted in a 300 percent increase in U.S. rice sales during the promotional period.
Reaching out to the hotel and restaurant industry in Turkey is also a priority for USA Rice, which has organized multiple events in many cities for this target group, including workshops, a cooking competition and promotional efforts such as magazine advertisements targeted to chefs and hotel managers to reinforce the quality and versatility of U.S.-grown rice.
USA Rice also exhibited at a food trade show in Antalya, a major tourist destination with more than 15 million visitors per year, in a bid to reach out to the foodservice and retail sectors in that city.
The southern region of Turkey has a high concentration of hotels and foodservice outlets and, therefore, is considered a key sales market for U.S. rice suppliers.
USA Rice works with the local U.S. rice brands, as well as select retail and foodservice companies, often partnering with them to conduct promotional activities. On average, these entities contribute 30 percent of the activity costs in which they participate.
In 2008, the local brands contributed more than $31,000 for such promotional events. This financial support helps to extend the reach of our budget and promotes loyalty to U.S. origin rice.
Rice traders in Turkey have taken part in various USA Rice events in the country and find the information they get to be invaluable. "I have attended several USA Rice seminars and demonstrations and have learned much about the different types and forms of rice grown in the U.S.," said Turkish rice trader Tevfik Dincer. "The information obtained here far exceeds what I can get anywhere else and will go a long way toward generating future sales," he said.
Eventually, imports of Egyptian rice will resume and U.S.-grown rice may lose some of its market share, however, USA Rice efforts to differentiate U.S.-grown rice as a high quality product may help Turkish consumers, who have become accustomed to eating U.S-grown rice and are familiar with U.S. brands on store shelves, remain loyal to U.S. origin rice.

Pomeranz, A's blank Mariners, split doubleheader
OAKLAND -- There was nothing sexy about the A's 2-0 win over the Mariners in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader, but it was perhaps bigger than any of the other 19 the A's have this year.
Riding a three-game losing streak and an even longer one at home, spanning six games, the A's entered the matchup short-staffed, despite having a 26th man in righty Arnold Leon.View Full Game Coverage
OAKLAND -- There was nothing sexy about the A's 2-0 win over the Mariners in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader, but it was perhaps bigger than any of the other 19 the A's have this year.
Riding a three-game losing streak and an even longer one at home, spanning six games, the A's entered the matchup short-staffed, despite having a 26th man in righty Arnold Leon.View Full Game Coverage
Center fielder Coco Crisp had exited the fourth inning of the first game with a strained neck. Reliever Ryan Cook had departed with a forearm strain in the seventh. The A's had finally beaten up on Felix Hernandez, yet had nothing to show for it, and the Mariners were one win away from not only securing a four-game sweep but a first-place standing in the American League West.
Disheartened but not down, the A's turned to lefty long man Drew Pomeranz and asked 70 pitches of him. He needed only 68 to give them five shutout innings of two-hit ball in his first start since July 22 last year with the Rockies.
"You couldn't have expected any more than that," said manager Bob Melvin. "Pretty fantastic for a guy that hasn't started a game for us."
Oakland acquired Pomeranz in the offseason in exchange for lefty Brett Anderson with the knowledge that he could serve as a swing man. The southpaw posted a 1.98 ERA in nine relief outings before getting the start on Wednesday, which may have doubled as an audition for a permanent rotation spot.
Nos. 4 and 5 starters Dan Straily (4.93 ERA) and Tommy Milone (5.86) have struggled, and the A's decision to stretch out Pomeranz leaves open the possibility he could replace one of them at some point -- though Melvin isn't ready to say either way.
"We're just trying to digest this win after losing three in a row," he said.
Pomeranz, who struck out five and walked none, had not won a game as a starter since Sept. 26, 2012.
"I tried to keep my same approach out there, really," said Pomeranz. "Just come into the game and attack hitters. I was trying to stay ahead of guys and was throwing my curveball for strikes, locating my fastball pretty well, and I threw some good changeups."
It was the first time this year Pomeranz had used his changeup in a game.
Dan Otero followed Pomeranz and was equally impressive. Otero, who tossed 11 pitches in the first game, threw 30 in the second while recording three scoreless innings to keep the A's lead intact.
Oakland got on the board against righty Erasmo Ramirez in the third on back-to-back hits from Craig Gentry and Jed Lowrie. Yoenis Cespedes' second homer in as many days and sixth of the year extended the A's lead in the fourth.
Jim Johnson received his first save opportunity since losing the closer's role a month ago and responded with a perfect ninth.
"We didn't score a whole lot, but just enough," said Melvin. "Three guys took over on the pitching end for us and came up huge. Basically all we had were those three guys and Leon. And they all knew it. It ended up being a much nicer feeling after the second game than the first."
"Curt asked me before the game how I was, and I told him I was ready for a normal workload," said Otero. "At the end of the sixth, I knew I had at least another. Then I had a quick inning and thought, maybe another one. You're trying to do anything you can to get outs and get that win and end this losing streak at home we knew we had. I'm glad it's over with.
Of Pomeranz, Otero said, "He's a beast."
"We've been hearing rumors the last couple of days that he might be starting this game, and his number gets called, and he did probably better than anyone could have expected," Otero said of Pomeranz. "With that pitch count, it's tough to get to five, but he really helped out our pitching staff."
"It was a long day," said Melvin. "After you lose the first one in the fashion we did, it's pretty demoralizing, but you have to go out for the second game, and this team's been pretty resilient over the years."

Luis Arocha
Luis Arocha will be the Spanish interpreter at this year's national conference. Luis is a pastor at Iglesia Bautista de la Gracia in Santiago, Dominican Republic where he and his wife live with their four daughters.
He attended a Desiring God conference for the first time in 2005 that was used by God to awaken in him a passion to delight in God and spread that joy to others.

Set in the highlands of Minas Gerais, Brazil, Gustavo Penna's Lincoln Residence is an elegant minimalist home that emphasizes its beautiful surrounding landscape. The home was built using simple materials such as glass and painted brick walls, and features wide windows that take advantage of the view while conserving energy. Inhabitat recently had the pleasure of speaking with Gustavo Penna of GPA&A to discuss his methodology, what advice he has for students, what he considers pretentious architecture, and more. Read on to get a better idea of Penna's inspiring architectural philosophy, and have a closer look at the beautiful Lincoln Residence.
Inhabitat: How would you describe your architectural style?
Gustavo: I start with the ground. In order to design, the architect has to have their feet on the ground, eyes on the horizon and head in the stars. Having your feet on the ground means having a good grasp of the terrain you stand on, the trees nearby, the laughters, the neighbors, the whole environment where you find yourself. Having your eyes on the horizon means contemplating that you are in a certain country, surrounded by a particular climate and culture. We have to represent this culture and its esthetic thinking. It is of the essence to actually see the world around us. And having your head in the stars means that nothing can be done without creativity. You can never really get to do something real if you don't aim for the new. This means not going through the same all over again, but to actually build something that deserves to be built. More of the same means repetition – it means denying the basic human possibility of being original.
I try to turn myself into the building, into the very surroundings and grounds upon which I'm going to build. I imagine the gestures my body would perform there. Buildings make gestures just like we do, and those are gestures that will stand for a long time, so they have to be consistent. It has to be a concise gesture, so as to last long.
Inhabitat: What do "green design" and sustainability mean to you? How do you apply them in your work?
Gustavo: I think a good project has to be sustainable. It is a way of considering the things that surround you. Our mothers always teach us that it is impolite not to respect others. So, I go for respect, for a project that catches the best sunlight, that captures the wind to control the temperature, that features wide windows in order to save electricity in the daytime, a project that brings together many spaces so as to accommodate different activities. I want to bear in mind everything and everybody. Those are climate considerations I've kept in mind for the last 40 years. I want to let the water percolate the ground, to match the plants with the house, to bring the sun in. Such are my projects.
Inhabitat: What would you recommend to a beginner architect?
Gustavo: I'd say, "Stop waiting!" architects have this poor habit of waiting for someone to come into their offices. The first attitude of an architect should be to stop waiting and just get to work, even if it's a small time job in their community. Sometimes, it's good to do something that won't pay as much as you think you're worth, but that will show everybody that you can make a difference. It's something to make you feel important and to demonstrate the importance of an architect in that social space. You need to stop waiting and act. Architects have never been of such importance to our world as they are now.
Inhabitat: What's the future of architecture?
Gustavo: Architecture will go back to focusing on the pedestrian. The cities have been dehumanized, and bringing back walkable cities is the next big thing for the contemporary world. The details of the city, of the environments, corners, meeting places, making buildings that are less narcissistic and more integrating – those are the big challenges. We have got to reassess the city so it will offer its own way. If you just run by a city, the details get lost and the city falls apart. When you introduce many ways that interconnect, a network is created within the city. I'd like to design paths that flow over that network, on top of the roads, with walkways and "squareways", as well as under them and connecting blocks. It's an interesting idea that creates crossings and shortcuts within the blocks and makes you consider the inside spaces that can be owner-controlled. It allows for more options for using and enjoying the city.
Inhabitat: What sort of projects have you been working on lately?
Gustavo: I like to have my hands in a variety of projects. I'm working on a soccer stadium, a PBL (Problem-Based Learning)-based university, a monument dedicated to press freedom and a TV station. For example, right now I'm designing a square in the city of Araxá, a kind of theater-square, and at the same time I'm working on the biggest corporate building in Belo Horizonte, the new headquarters for CEMIG, Minas Gerais' power company.
Inhabitat: What project are you most proud of and why?
Gustavo: The most important quality of my projects is that they become tools for integration. They instrumentalize the life in the city, they gather people. I want them to be understood by as many citizens as possible. There are many projects and they do not always end up as well as I wanted them to, but they have always taught me something anyway. The People's Space of Contagem (Espaço Popular de Contagem), for example, was built in an industrial city, on a site where previously a gas station and a vacant lot were located, and it became a meeting space where 40,000 people can watch a concert together. I designed many buildings with no fencing or metal meshes. There was doubt that they would stay that way, but the building lasted and functioned well for 15 years and counting with no metal fence. Guignard School has never had fences and continues to be a center for teaching art and culture in Minas Gerais, a very important project. The bottom line is: every project is dear to me. Each one has its musicality, its message. I keep them all close to my heart.
Inhabitat: What kind of architecture do you not like or consider pretentious?
Gustavo: I like to paraphrase Ada Louise Huxtable, from The New York Times. She says she's tired of seeing really beautiful buildings with terrible architecture. I hate a building that just wants to be beautiful and has nothing besides being narcissistically beautiful. I like generous buildings. Every building with gratuitous beauty is a stupid building.
Inhabitat: How did the environment, neighborhood and culture influence you in this project?
Gustavo: A house is only important when it transcends the physical boundaries of the built area. It has to be like a citadel from which you see the world and fancy nature. It's a place to live in, where you walk alongside the memories. That's the principle of the Lincoln residence. It is located on an absolutely gorgeous spot at the top of a mountain, with a view to a very important water supply for the city. The intention there is to act the same way the body would, to gaze at the surroundings and the landscape. And not only at the "detached" landscape, but also at the sky above. The house's windows open to the sky and the surroundings.
The weather changes constantly during the day in the highlands of Minas Gerais. It's cloudy, it's sunny, it's rainy. It's nice to watch the day go by through the house's glass cube. It exposes you to the elements and shelters and protects you from them at one time.
The plan of the house is not very sophisticated. It echoes the plans of the historical cities and farms of Minas Gerais. When you look at the house externally, you may think it's hard to be interpreted by the dweller, but it's the opposite; it's he who best interprets that space. That gives me great satisfaction.
We didn't have many materials, only glass and painted brick walls, so the challenge was in joining the glass panels. We solved it simply, with materials, structural silicone glazing, all very well-founded.
Inhabitat: What is the impression you want to leave regarding this project and your whole body of work?
Gustavo: That it's deep, and yet takes few words. That's it.
Inhabitat: Tell us more about how a project can change from conception to conclusion.
Gustavo: I try to discuss the project at length before the building stage, so there's no waste. We have to think of the houses we make as if they're open locks, so they're always open for interpretation. After all, families change, people leave and move, families grow bigger or smaller, welcome grandchildren, etc. The house has to have the ability to host the dwellers in so many stages, and that's what I think I have to keep in mind – always considering the basics, so as not to make mistakes in the details. A house planned from its basic features will last longer, and won't become obsolete as easily as a "fashionable" house and its "adjective" spaces. I'd rather have a "noun house".
Inhabitat: How do you balance the artistic and esthetic conceptions of a house with its functional side?
Gustavo: One doesn't hinder the other, much to the opposite. How rich in poetry is our daily life, isn't it? The most important thing today in living harmoniously with the planet is to make poetry. If you don't have it, you shouldn't even leave the house. Poetry is the attitude you have that helps you in building metaphors of the world and creating symbols of everything. Each gesture has its symbol, each gesture has an ethereal dimension to it.

ok ed, here's the deal,crush was correct, only odds bets are taxable,my friend said that any bet 5000-9999 they will ask you for id, but you can refuse to show the id and they still have to pay you. Once you bet a 10k bet or higher you have to fill out paperwork,it is govt required, but doesnt go to irs,its only for internal use, its more to prevent any type of money laundering attempts.
So you could spread out 2 or 3 large bets and be good. The M Resort will take any amount if you go there.

Paolo Cortes
Paolo Cortes and his workshop are located in the tranquil city of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, in central Mexico. Creatively and intuitively working with the versatile material of tin, Paolo started as a young boy as an apprentice in a metal shop, learning every step of designing and creating tin crafts. Eager to open his own workshop, Paolo invited his brothers and brother-in-law to work alongside him and that's where we find them today, continuing to work together, developing new and innovative designs and seeking new opportunities to promote the work of Paolo Cortes throughout the world. It's a source of great pride that his brothers do not need to leave home to find work, that they can stay together and earn a decent living.
The workshop creates each unique design with care and each piece reflects his creative imagination and expert craftsmanship. Every complex pattern is carefully tapped into the metal by hand in the old traditional way, making it a unique and precious complement to adorn homes.
Caring for your Mirror
To clean:
- Dust frames with a soft, non-abrasive cloth dampened with water.
- Clean glass with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and ammonia-based cleaner.
Decorate your life
We believe that there's nothing more important than making life, our surroundings and our interactions with each other as beautiful, colorful and caring as possible. Design. Decorate. Live. Laugh.
Smile into your mirror!
Decorate your home
If you have a natural light source, maximize it to save on lighting and help it to give a good impression of a wider space. Mirrors help to create an illusion of space and increase light in a room, so position your mirror so that natural light is reflected. Good in tight spaces to create an opening.

Historic North St. Louis Made All New
The New NorthSide is a vision to rebuild a historic and once successful part of the St. Louis community. A place where people can safely and securely raise a family, educate their children and build a successful life of opportunity and growth. The foundation of this success will be new, growing economic opportunities – JOBS that will provide the NorthSide businesses and residents with the economic stability to support successful education systems, health care, police and fire stations, and the infrastructure to support community business success and growth.
The NorthSide will set a new standard and raise the profile of St. Louis – the city, the leadership, the people – as leaders in urban renewal for other cities to follow. It will be the shining example of doing it right, changing the entire profile of St. Louis, elevating the city back to its position as one of the greatest cities of America – socially, economically and professionally. It's not just about the geography of the development, but about the entire city of St. Louis.
NorthSide Regeneration is an urban community development – a self-sustaining neighborhood of people, culture, economic opportunity, secure environment and education for our children with the infrastructure and capitalistic growth to support key, necessary services for the community. Encompassing over 1,500 acres the development borders downtown St. Louis with a total estimated investment of over $8 billion once the entire development is complete.
NorthSide's Principles for a Livable City:
Click model to view.
The integration of industry, community and culture with the right leadership will prove to be the model for revitalizing Urban America.
The Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge, slated to open early 2014, enters St. Louis within NorthSide Rengeneration development. With a traffic count of over 40,000 cars per day North St. Louis will be a major new entrance point into the city and a major economic impact within the development.
Jobs have always been the primary motivator for NSR with an goal of more than 43,000 construction jobs and 22,000 permanent jobs generated by the development's activity. Our goal is to raise median household income to over $40,000, with a 5% unemployment rate and over $976 million in annual payroll.
Formula for Change
A Holistic Philosophy | A Minority Wealth Creation Strategy
NSR's Formula for Change is a very real and sustainable mechanism to reverse economic and social deterioration – and one that will eventually power and sustain positive economic and community growth.

NorthSide Regeneration is proud to have the support of many community leaders and organizations throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. Their continued input and support is vital to the success of this project.
What is TIF? Why is it important?
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a mechanism created by legislators designed to help facilitate development and job creation. It is meant especially for areas that, because of blight or degeneration, are caught in something of a 'development catch 22'. In other words, "but for the TIF" new development can't happen.
Importantly, a TIF is not a tax increase. It only affects new (increment) tax created. All existing taxes continue to be collected by the existing taxing districts. But TIF allows a city to leverage the value of future incremental taxes to create the new public infrastructure needed for the new development to happen at all.
TIF disbursements are in accordance with Missouri State law and managed by the city. The developer must first spend the money from disbursements that are to be reimbursed.
Job Opportunities – NSR TIF Projects

Rare Kurt Cobain Photo Exhibition Opens Tonight at New York Gallery
This is what decay looks like: leopard stripes, goofball shades, burned-down cigarette and a stoned-slack jaw. Kurt Cobain was five months away from taking his life when he was shot by budding photog Jesse Frohman for a series of portraits — opening tonight (April 5) at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in New York and running through April 23.
"Eventually, at least three hours later than originally scheduled, Kurt came down," Frohman told Rolling Stone, recalling the November 1993 meeting. "He was very quiet and he was wearing these white Jackie O glasses with his chin down to his chest, and he asked for a bucket. And I said, 'Sure, we have a bucket. What do you need a bucket for?' And he said, ''Cause I think I'm gonna puke.' And that was my introduction to Kurt."
Frohman shot the portraits for the New York Observer to cover Nirvana's show at the Roseland Ballroom. Hoping to take advantage of the band's being in NYC, the photog planned on bringing Kurt and the guys to a park for some outdoor shooting—though, of course, a severely stoned icon forced Frohman to improvise.
"Kurt was an anti-hero and he didn't like to be pretty, and he didn't want to be glorified, and he didn't want to be treated like the way celebrities want to be treated, and it's what endeared him to a lot of fans," Frohman said. "At the same time, it was challenging to shoot him because he would pay attention, then he wouldn't pay attention, you know? It was like shooting a dog."
Today isn't just opening day for the exhibition, it also happens to be the 18-year anniversary of Cobain's suicide. His body was discovered three days later -- April 8, 1994 -- in a greenhouse above the garage of his Seattle-area home.

Monday - Friday 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Snoring is a common sleep disorder that can affect all people at any age, although it occurs more frequently in men and people who are overweight. Snoring has a tendency to worsen with age. Forty-five percent of adults snore occasionally, while 25% are considered habitual snorers.
Occasional snoring is usually not very serious and is mostly a nuisance for the bed partner of the person who snores. However, the habitual snorer not only disrupts the sleep patterns of those close to him, he also disturbs his own. Habitual snorers snore whenever they sleep and are often tired after a night of what seems like quality rest. Medical assistance is usually needed for habitual snorers to get a good night's sleep.
What Causes Snoring?
The physical obstruction of the flow of air through the mouth and nose is the cause of snoring. The walls of the throat vibrate during breathing, resulting in the distinctive sounds of snoring. Air flow can be obstructed by a combination of factors, including:
Obstructed nasal airways: Partially blocked nasal passages require extra effort to transfer air through them while sleeping. This can pull together or collapse the non-rigid soft and dangling tissue of the throat, resulting in snoring. Some people snore only during allergy seasons or when they have a sinus infection. Deformities of the nose such as a deviated septum (a "crooked" wall that separates one nostril from the other) or nasal polyps can also cause obstruction and sleep problems.
Poor muscle tone in the throat and tongue: Throat and tongue muscles can be too relaxed, which allows them to collapse and fall back into the airway. This can result from deep sleep, alcohol, and some sleeping pills. Normal aging causes further relaxation of these muscles and increases the potential for snoring.
Bulky throat tissue: Being overweight can cause bulky throat tissue. Also, children with large tonsils and adenoids often snore.
Long soft palate and/or uvula: One of the most common causes of snoring, a long soft palate or uvula (the dangling tissue in back of the mouth) can block the opening at the back of the throat. When these structures vibrate and bump against one another during sleep, the airway becomes obstructed and causes snoring.
What Are the Health Risks of Snoring?
Habitual snorers can be at risk for serious health problems. Obstructive sleep apnea is an illness that is often associated with chronic snoring. This condition creates several problems, including:
Long interruptions of breathing (more than 10 seconds) during sleep caused by partial or total obstruction or blockage of the airway. Serious cases can have total blockage episodes hundreds of times per night.
Frequent waking from sleep, even though he or she may not realize it.
Snorers with obstructive sleep apnea sleep lightly to try to keep their throat muscles tense enough to maintain airflow.
Blood oxygen levels are often lowered, which causes the heart to pump harder and blood pressure to rise. The result is a poor night's sleep, which leads to drowsiness during the day and can interfere with the persons quality of life. Prolonged suffering from obstructed sleep apnea will result in higher blood pressure and may cause enlargement of the heart, with higher risks of heart attack and stroke.
The stress of not getting enough oxygen causes the body to produce adrenalin, a chemical that helps our bodies fight and cope with stressful situations. Adrenalin also causes blood sugar to rise, whi

What Snoring Treatments Are Available?
If you occasionally snore, you can try the following behavior changes to help treat the problem:
If none of the above mentioned behavioral changes help snoring, talk to your doctor. Otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors) offer a variety of treatment options that may reduce or eliminate snoring or sleep apnea.
There are more than 300 devices on the market to help prevent snoring; however, none of these devices address all of the underlying anatomical problems that cause snoring (such as nasal obstruction and being overweight). Surgery may be needed to correct physical problems. Snoring and sleep apnea surgeries include:
Other Treatments for Snoring
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): A patient may be fitted with a nasal mask which forces air through the upper airway. The air pressure is adjusted so that it is just enough to prevent the upper airway tissues from collapsing during sleep. The pressure is constant and continuous. This should help the person breathe better and sleep through the night.

WWF scheme helps leading UK companies cut flights by 41%
New figures released today show that some of the UK's leading companies, including Lloyds TSB, BSkyB, and Marks & Spencer have reduced their business flights by 41%, as part of a WWF run scheme.
WWF's One in Five Challenge, a five year programme designed to help companies reduce their reliance on business flying and transform the way they meet and travel, has just produced its latest set of results, showing that member companies have, on average, cut their flights:
• by 19% in the first year, saving £1.5 million and reducing emissions by 1,500 tonnes CO2
• by 41% over two years, saving £2.4 million and reducing emissions by 3,600 tonnes CO2
Companies have achieved these results by using a variety of measures including questioning the need for travel, including flights in corporate carbon reporting and increasing their use of rail, video and audio conferencing. Members say that lower carbon ways of staying connected are actually helping them to increase their efficiency, citing less time spent out of the office, faster decision making, productivity gains and increased collaboration to be the main benefits from using technology to replace the need to travel.
The One in Five Challenge aims to help companies and government departments to cut 20% of flights within 5 years. Members include some of the UK's leading companies representing over 300,000 employees and taking over half a million flights. Within two years, more than half of members have already achieved the Challenge and are remaining in the programme in order to make further flight reductions. Lloyds TSB is the latest to achieve the Challenge, cutting 26% of their flights in a single year.
Jean Leston, Senior Transport Policy Advisor for WWF-UK, said: "Our members have discovered significant commercial and environmental benefits from flying less. If these progressive companies can cut their flights by 41%, others can too. Members say that lower carbon ways of staying connected are actually helping them to increase their efficiency, citing less time spent out of the office, faster decision making, productivity gains and increased collaboration to be the main benefits from using technology to replace the need to travel."
Paul Baker, Group Property Director for Lloyds TSB, responsible also for the Group's travel and entertainment spend, said: "This is a great achievement for the Group. By focussing on reducing our travel and choosing alternative options we have reduced costs, significantly improved work life balance for our staff and now achieved this recognition from the WWF. A win win win!"
Notes to editors:
1. WWF-UK's second One in Five Challenge annual report 2010/11 is available here:
2. Current members of the One in Five Challenge are Balfour Beatty, BSkyB, BT, Capgemini, Lloyds TSB, Marks & Spencer, Microsoft, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), Scottish Government, Skanska, Vodafone UK and WWF-UK. So far, 7 of these 12 members have achieved the Challenge.

LOS ANGELES - Four members of the UCLA Anderson faculty were honored for teaching and exemplary service at a reception this afternoon. These recipients were chosen by a faculty committee.
La Force Leadership Award
The La Force Leadership Award was presented to Daniel J.B. Mitchell, Ho-su Wu professor at UCLA Anderson. This award recognizes exceptional leadership outside the classroom, inspiring the Anderson community and elevating programs to the highest levels of excellence. Mitchell was formerly director of the U.C.L.A. Institute of Industrial Relations (1979-90). During Phase II of the federal wage/price controls program of the early 1970s, Prof. Mitchell was chief economist of the Pay Board, the agency that administered wage controls. He was twice associated with the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., including a stint as a senior fellow in the economic studies program (1978-79).
Professional activities have included memberships on the Executive Boards of the Industrial Relations Research Association, the North American Economics and Finance Association, and the Institute of Industrial Relations Association. Prof. Mitchell is a past president of the North American Economics and Finance Association. He has also served on the nominating committee of the American Economic Association and on the editorial boards of various academic journals. He is co-editor of the journal Industrial Relations. He edits the annual California Policy Options volumes and contributes a chapter each year on the California state budget. He was co-director and then director (1999-2000) of the UCLA Anderson Business Forecasting Project. Prof. Mitchell has served as a consultant to the Congressional Budget Office, the Federal Reserve Board, the President's Council on Wage and Price Stability, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the International Labour Organisation. In 2007, Prof. Mitchell received the Excellence in Education Award from the Labor and Employment Relations Association.
Neidorf "Decade" Teaching Award
The Neidorf "Decade" Teaching Award was presented to David Lewin, Neil H. Jacoby Chair in Management, Human Resources and Organizational Behavior at UCLA Anderson. The award recognizes exemplary teaching over a period of seven to ten years. A specialist in human resource management and industrial relations, Professor Lewin has published 19 books and more than 150 articles. In 2004, Professor Lewin received the Executive MBA Program Outstanding Teaching Award.
Prof. Lewin recently served as senior associate dean of the UCLA Anderson MBA Program. Prior to joining UCLA in 1990, Lewin was Professor, Director of the Ph.D. Program, Director of the Human Resources Research Center, and Director of the Senior Executive Program at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business.
Citibank Teaching Award
Mark Garmaise, assistant professor of finance, received the Citibank Teaching Award recognizing, "The Most Outstanding MBA Teacher." Prof. Garmaise came to UCLA Anderson as a visiting assistant professor of finance in 2001. He became an assistant professor the following year. He received the George W. Robbins Assistant Professor Teaching Award in 2005 and the Eric and "E" Juline Faculty Excellence in Research Award in 2006. Prof. Garmaise's research interests are corporate finance, real estate, entrepreneurship, banking and venture capital. In 2004, Garmaise received the Barclays Global Investors (BGI) Michael Brennan Award for Best Paper in The Review of Financial Studies. He was runner up for this award in 2005.
Dean George W. Robbins Assistant Professor Teaching Award
Felipe Caro received this award for excellence among assistant professors. Caro joined UCLA Anderson in 2005 after completing his Ph.D. at MIT. Prior to receiving his Ph.D., Prof. Caro worked as an instructor at the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Chile. He taught courses in Optimization, Dynamic Programming and Stochastic Processes, and worked on research projects involving natural resources, mostly in the forestry and copper industries. He continues to collaborate on a permanent basis with his colleagues in Chile.
Prof. Caro's main research interests are related to decisions made under uncertainty with a strong emphasis on practical applications. In his dissertation, he developed analytical models with demand learning for the dynamic assortment problem faced by fast-fashion retailers. This work made him one of the selected winners in the MSOM Student Paper Competition. His current research projects also include supply chain competition, inventory management for low volume seasonal goods, forecasting and exploration versus exploitation problems.

Dedicated to Census Bureau Associate Director for Communications Steve Jost: 2010 Census payroll problems acknowledged and additional assistance to be given to employees
Though the Census Bureau's Associate Director for Communications (and Spin Doctor in Residence) Steve Jost denied problems with the Census Bureau's payroll system in comments he posted on this blog, Ryla, a firm contracted by the government to handle telephone complaints and questions about Census Bureau operations, has now acknowledged its own payroll problems for its employees. This is a true victory for MyTwoCensus.com and its loyal readers, as this issue likely would not have received the attention it deserves without your assistance. Let's now hope that the Census Bureau follows suit in addressing payroll problems that have been widely reported by this site's readers. Thanks to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for the following:
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Kennesaw-based Ryla Inc. is working to improve its pay processes after some of the 1,300 census workers the company employs complained they were not getting checks on time or were shorted work hours.
Ryla spokeswoman Karen Clay said the pay problems have occurred in spurts and the company is paying employees as quickly as its officials are notified. She did not know the exact number of people affected, but said it is small.
"There were some hiccups in our own processing in payroll," Clay said, declining to be more specific. "Any payroll discrepancies are actively being worked on."
Ryla, operator of one of Georgia's biggest call centers, announced in February it was hiring the workers to handle calls for the 2010 Census. Pay is roughly $12-$15 an hour.
Another issue for workers has been pay stubs issued for $0. Clay said workers with those checks are employed by temporary agencies. Ryla pays the temp agencies, which then pay the workers.

But I'm also finally coming around to be willing to play a FPS again (I got tired of the overabundance of them a long time ago), and I'm willing to look into suggestions... particularly in the horror genre.
Anyway, it looks beautiful and the life bar is, fortunately, not forced on the player (really now, a Contra game without a one-hit-kill ) so that's my pick for the most anticipated!
Oh, and will keep an eye on Fallout: New Vegas too! I really liked New Reno from F2 and that location seems to be the main inspiration for this title. Hope they'll manage too make something that lives up to it!
Watching the MS conference live feed, and well after having seen the new MGS: Rising trailer I have to say I'm definitely looking forward to it. Thing's pretty much a Skull Knight simulator. *SLICE* *CUT* *SLASH*
this time you can switch to the old graphics while keeping the voice acting and orchestral music.
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xz5Ue8VJKwMan, look at those graphics.
The alpha for FF14 has already started, and gone public. I have a friend playing it on PC every couple of nights through Steam. I don't personally see what's so exciting about another FF MMO, myself. Unless you were a die-hard FF11 fan.
You'll still have the ability to use firearms I hope.
Monkey Island 2: Special Edition comes out next week. I still don't dig the new art style, but this time you can switch to the old graphics while keeping the voice acting and orchestral music. One of the best SCUMM adventures.
In the trailer doesn't raiden have a gun on his back?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtM3PGyiQUc#t=1m17sEven if there is gunplay I doubt many people are going to use it much, although you'll probably have to for a couple of boss fights or somethingAlso here's hoping for a unlockable Gray Fox costume
I'm trying to imagine a story for Rising...I have 0 clue where they will go with this. That one picture of Boss or Snake is worrying.
Don't forget classical situation comedy at its finest, like slipping on seagull droppings or running around the enemy base buck naked.
And being forced to walk through a never-ending stream of piss.

Let the games begin.
While everyone assumes the Texans are thinking quarterback with the top pick in the draft, they've surprised folks before.
After all, most folks thought they'd take Reggie Bush first overall in 2006, but they went with defensive end Mario Williams instead.
And in case you had forgotten that, allow Texans owner Bob McNair to create the first smokescreen of the draft season, as he waxed eloquent about South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney to the team's official website.
"He's one of these players who's a once-in-every-10 years kind of physical specimen that comes along," McNair said, via Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com. "Mario Williams was that way. I think Clowney is actually a better athlete than Mario.
"Like many of these players that have great physical attributes, they didn't have to work as hard in junior high school and high school and in college to be a superlative athlete because they have this natural ability. He's not a J.J. Watt. J.J. didn't have that natural ability. He worked. He developed his. I said, 'J.J., I don't know what will happen, but if we get Clowney, we want you to instill in him the same kind of work habits that you have.' He said, 'If he's in the same room with me, then he'll have them.'"
So there you go. Adjust your mock draft accordingly.
Or don't. The Texans still need a quarterback more than anything out of this draft, and it's hard to imagine Bill O'Brien climbed aboard this project to not get a "partner in the offense" to work with.

The Phillies claimed Nelson Figueroa on waivers this afternoon thereby mercifully ending the pitcher's shuttle to Buffalo. Before we torch the Mets before this, remember his career record and he did get a chance with the team.
I will say, however, that I thought he'd stick as the long man this year.

Social networking for business purposes is very necessary for people who work in the business-to-business world. Social networking allows a sales representative to increase their pool of possible clients because they are not tied to their physical location. This is an important distinction that cannot be ignored. A sales person has to pitch their services to as many people as possible and the ability to pitch their services globally is very important.
A business person or sales representative has to network to expand their network or possible clients and contacts constantly. These people must keep their "hopper" full of possible clients at all times. There is no better way to do that then to expand their network via the social networks. A business person only has to find the like minded people in a category to find new prospects. They can begin to develop a relationship with them right on the spot. There is no waiting for a meeting, the only thing that a business person needs to do is make the introduction and start the process of getting to know the other party.
Sales person may also need immediate access to their colleagues while they are traveling around the town and outside of the country. Social media is a way that they can stay connected with their peers and continue to work uninterrupted. This access allows a sales representative to have smoother presentations and to be able to course correct a presentation when it goes off track. This allows for a high degree of personalization that will help the business and sales representative close more sales and generate more revenue.
A business owner will also be able to keep in contact with this sales representative even when out of the country. Changes in the marketing system or to the product are relayed through the system with lighting speed. This means that a sales person never has to feel out of the loop again, they are immediately notified of changes to a product on the spot on the social networking platform.
If the platform allows file sharing, then they can be given the new materials on the spot and their presentation will be adjusted on the spot to account for the new paradigm. A sales person can also show a personalized message from the business owner if the business owner creates one and sends it through the server. This can generate goodwill for a business and their business partners.
In conclusion, sales representatives stand to gain the most from the use of social networking systems built for business purposes. These people will always have a connection to the home office and contact with anyone that they need to speak with at the speed of the internet. This speed helps a business streamline their processes and sell more products. A sales person who uses these systems will have greater confidence when asked to present their products to outside businesses. Therefore, they will be more efficient at presenting and selling the products and services of a business. The use of social networking platforms allows any business to sell more and generate more revenue.
