I encourage you to donate, and make your own videos that challenge others to do the same!
He may only be a 5-year-old, but this youngster can teach us all a thing or two about compassion.
Southland Park Daycare is holding a donation drive to collect some much-needed items for homeless people right here in our own community.
Hundreds of cardboard shelters occupied the Independence Stadium turf to raise awareness for homelessness in Shreveport-Bossier.
People always say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," but Dawn Loggins, an 18-year-old student from North Carolina, actually experienced this life lesson in one of the most heart-wrenching ways.
Finding herself homeless several times and earning a living as her high school's janitor, her dreams of a better life finally came true when she got accepted to Harvard University.
So, a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch notices a homeless man with a sign that says he has a golden radio voice. Long story short, he totally does. And the internet has made him famous. You have to watch (and listen) to this guy.

Description: Jodi Picoult has touched readers deeply with her acclaimed novels, such asKeeping FaithandThe Pact.Gifted with "a remarkable ability to make us share her characters' feelings"(People),Picoult now explores the complex choices of the heart for a young Amish woman -- the compelling journey of discovery for an urban lawyer who befriends and protects her. The small town of Paradise, Pennsylvania, is a jewel in Lancaster County -- known for its picture-postcard landscapes and bucolic lifestyle. But that peace is shattered by the discovery of a dead infant in the barn of an Amish farmer. A police investigation quickly leads to two startling disclosures: the newborn's mother is an unmarried Amish woman, eighteen-year-old Katie Fisher. And the infant did not die of natural causes. Although Katie denies the medical proof that she gave birth to the child, circumstantial evidence leads to her arrest for the murder of her baby. One hundred miles away, Philadelphia defense attorney Ellie Hathaway has achieved an enviable, high-profile career. But her latest court "victory" has set the sands shifting beneath her. Single at thirty-nine and unsatisfied with her relationship, Ellie doesn't look back when she turns down her chance to make partner and takes off for an open-ended stay at her great-aunt's home in Paradise. Fate brings her to Katie Fisher. Suddenly, Ellie sees the chance to defend a client who truly needs her, not just one who can afford her. But taking on this case challenges Ellie in more ways than one. She finds herself not only in a clash of wills with a client who does not want to be defended but also in a clash of cultures with a people whose channels of justice are markedly different from her own. Immersing herself in Katie Fisher's life -- and in a world founded on faith, humility, duty, and honesty -- Ellie begins to understand the pressures and sacrifices of those who to live "plain." As she peels away the layers of fact and fantasy, Ellie calls on an old friend for guidance. Now, just as this man from Ellie's past reenters her life, she must uncover the truth about a complex case, a tragic loss, the bonds of love -- and her own deepest fears and desires. Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense,Plain Truthis a triumph of contemporary storytelling. Jodi Picoult presents a fascinating portrait of Amish life rarely witnessed by those outside the faith -- and discovers a place where circumstances are not always what they seem, where love meets falsehood, and where relationships grow strong enough to span two worlds.

The Queen's royal swan uppers returned to the River Thames in Oxfordshire
The Queen's royal swan uppers returned to the River Thames in Oxfordshire yesterday morning at Moulsford and ended in Abingdon at 5pm, with crowds lining the banks to catch sight of the crew. Swan upping is an annual ceremony in England in which mute swans on the River Thames are rounded up, caught, ringed, and then released, a tradition steeped in history dating back over 900 years. By prerogative right, the British Crown enjoys ownership of all unmarked mute swans in open water. Rights over swans may, however, be granted to a subject by the Crown. The ownership of swans in a given body of water was commonly granted to landowners up to the 16th century. The only bodies still to exercise such rights are two livery companies of the City of London. Thus the ownership of swans in the Thames is shared equally among the Crown, the Vintners' Company and the Dyers' Company. Its main practical purposes today are to conduct a census of swans and check their health. It occurs annually during the third week of July. Over five days, the Queen's, Vintners' and the Dyers' respective swan uppers row up the river in 'rowing skiffs'. Swans caught by the Queen's swan uppers under the direction of the Swan Marker are left unmarked, except for a ring linked to the database of the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). Those caught by the Dyers and Vintners are identified as theirs by means of a further ring on the other leg. Originally, rather than being ringed, the swans would be marked on the bill, a practice reflected in the pub name The Swan with Two Necks, a corruption of "The Swan with Two Nicks". This year marked a positive change in the recent trend, as the population along the Thames increased from 72 last year to 134. Royal swan market David Barber, who led the team along the river, said: "The increase wasn't expected, so it was a pleasant surprise. Hopefully it marks a change in situation." Mr Barber noted how the population had been steadily declining in recent years, but he and his colleagues had been working to educate the public on the importance of the birds. He said: "We've had so many school pupils along the trip and during the year we have held talks at fishing clubs and other organisations involved in the river. "All the people who go along [to watch] enjoy it; it's a wonderful thing to do. It's hard work and a long journey, but we are preserving the swan population for the future, which is brilliant." As well as counting the number of swans, they also assessed the health of young cygnets and examined them for injuries. Mr Barber said they found fewer cygnets with injuries this year.

I have a mid ranged voice that is more of a baritone. I have practiced altering my voice since I was young so I can change my range to almost anything I can hear or at least closely resemble with enough practice. I can range from a deep monster-like growl, to a light preteen voice. I am also adept at changing my voice to a more cartoonish range (i.e. Spongebob, Micky Mouse, Elmer Fudd). My natural monotone to it, so I am very good at narration of all sorts.

High Risk Pregnancy Ultrasound For Pregnancy

It's a team: At most centers, the tech and the doctor work together on ultrasounds. When the tech does the scan, a doctor reviews all the images to make sure things are progressing normally. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
Sonogram (Definition)
An ultraound, also known as a sonogram, is a painless and relatively inexpensive imaging test that utilizes sound waves instead of ionizing radiation. There are no side effects. Ultrasound can give us two-dimensional, and in some applications three-dimensional, images of structures and organs in virtually any part of the body. In addition to diagnostic uses, such as evaluating abnormalities in the abdomen, pelvis, and breast, ultrasounds are commonly used to guide needle and catheter placement in a variety of surgical ...Read more
My fiance has a high risk pregnancy. We went to an appointment to have an ultrasound and a check up done with our baby. We were told the baby has possible excess tissue on the back of the neck and possible hernia. She is ten weeks pregnant and the doctor
Unfortunately : Unfortunately I am unable to give you any information on survival rates without knowing more information. Based on what is in your post, excess tissue on the back of the neck could be a sign of down's syndrome; the hernia depending on where it is carries different risks. I would like to take this opportunity to use your case as a lesson for yourself/fiance and others. Never leave a doctor's appointment with unanswered questions. You have a right to have all your questions answered and everything explained to you in detail. If the ultrasound tech. Gave you that information you need to call the doctor right away and ask forn an explanation. Make an appointment, call on the phone, write a letter. Do whatever you have to do to get answers. Best of luck. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Do i need cervical surveillance during high risk pregnancy? have had 3 d & cs and 1 leep procedure all over 15 years ago
Maybe: At 39, you are considered high risk. You will be getting an early ultrasound. If your early ultrasound reveals a short cervix you will be getting cervical surveillance starting at 16 weeks. If you have had 1 preterm birth or more than 2 miscarriages in the past, then automatically you will be placed for cervical surveillance at 16 weeks. Hope this helps. ...Read more

Is walking okay through high risk pregnancy?
Yes: Walking is an excellent exercise during pregnancy. Especially if by high risk you mean obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure.

Discuss this with your doctor. Good luck! ...Read more
High risk pregnancy in healthy woman--oxymoron?
Nope: Starting out a pregnancy healthy is best for mom and baby, but it's still possible to develop complications. That's why OB providers see moms regularly during pregnancy, both to provide support for a normal, healthy process and to check for signs and symptoms of possible problems. If a pregnancy becomes un-routine, high risk specialists can help. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
If I have a high risk pregnancy is it ok to walk thirty minutes a day?
How high-risk? Why?: A thorough evaluation by a maternal-fetal medicine subspecialist looking at records, mom, fetus plus exams and input from OB provider might provide information about the risks to the health of mom and baby from exertion/exercise. That risk, however, can change in many cases from week to week. Therefore, combined exams and consults from both OB and mfm will be best for evaluating risk. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
What are the risks of a high risk pregnancy from antiphospholipid?
APLAs: The presence of aplas or antiphospholipid antibodies increases the risk of fetal growth retardation and fetal death in utero.

(AP/The Arizona Republic) Local fire officials have confirmed that 19 firefighters have died while battling the Yarnell Hill Fire in central Arizona. The Prescott Fire Department confirmed to MyFoxPhoenix that 18 firefighters, all part of a crew called the Prescott Granite Mountain Hotshots, had passed away Sunday evening. An official with the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office later confirmed to Fox News that the death toll had risen to 19. Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo said at a news conference late Sunday that 22 firefighters were injured, and 8 required hospitalization. He described the fire, which started after a lightning strike Friday, as a fast-moving blaze fueled by hot, dry conditions. Temperatures reached into the triple digits across the state Sunday, with a similar forecast for the following day.

Question about Lexmark X2500 All-In-One Printer
Posted by jeffleann on
The all in one solution software you used in XP doesn't work fully with Vista.
But you can still scan and copy by using Windows Photo Gallery.
1. Click on files tab at the top in Window Photo Gallery.
2. Click on import from camera or scanner.
3. Highlight your scanner icon (ie Lexmark X2500) then click import.
4. New scan window will popup, now you can preview or scan using this basic looking Vista utility.
Hope that helps.

I had the best steak of my life from this store.
I am not kidding.
I have eaten steak at the finest restaurants in Boston: Capital Grille, Grill 23, Moo, Abe & Louis, Smith & Wollensky's...you get the picture. I went into this store for the first time last week. We bought a cowboy steak and a few strip steaks. We took them home, broiled them in the oven and they were absolutely fantastic.
Maybe it was the cooking method...we didn't happen to have the grill set up and were too hungry to wait, so we popped them under the broiler.
I am so happy I finally went to this store as I will be back. Their meat was perfectly trimmed and superb flavor and fantastic! Yum!

Winston Churchill once said "History is written by the victors." But it also is true that stories are for everyone, and in America, stories appear almost everywhere, from song lyrics to comic strips or even old vintage scraps of paper, as we see in Michael Pajon's striking O Bury Me Not collage exhibition at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery. The title, taken from a Depression-era cowboy ballad, sets the tone for a wide range of folksy snippets of printed matter that, when shrewdly reworked into evocative collages, lead us straight into the wayward residue of American dreams of the past, those alternative histories that can never be written except by the poets, dreamers, musicians and inspired madmen among us — those rare creatures who are capable of capturing life as it is lived rather than simply chronicled.
Art is what happens when such dreams are reworked into visions of the past, present and future, times that Einstein said exist all at once. In Standard American XXIV (pictured), a vintage American vision of "progress" appears as a fraught nirvana of cowboys, flappers and Pullman cars surrounding a bull's-eye graced by a bluebird of happiness and guarded by World War II aircraft among other whimsical omens of a happy hereafter. A Whisper, a Handshake, A Drop of Blood features a gathering of similarly dressed corporate stalwarts posing for posterity flanked by anatomy charts and tombstones. To the victors go the spoils, their expressions seem to say, and if the price is paid by others, so much the better. Hunters, Hazards and Haints reads like a fever dream from the mind of Mark Twain, a fractured fairytale of Conestoga wagons, cowboys, railroads, Indian chiefs and a lone home on the range where the deer and the antelope play — along with hucksters, hunters, snake oil salesmen and preachers, what Pajon calls "the 'lesser' folk of our collective American history," characters who, like the cowboy riding into the sunset, "should be allowed the luxury of myth." — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

(The Hosting News) – BAIS, Inc. recently announced it has completed the Phase II expansion of its Santa Clara Datacenter with an additional six (6) Megawatts of power to accommodate the high density requirements of its newest customer.
BAIS' Co-location facility was built in 2009 and was awarded the Silicon Valley Power Energy Innovator Award for its energy efficient technologies, equipment and innovative economizer architecture. In May of 2010, BAIS built out the Phase II of its 83k sqft datacenter facility, which now has 10 Megawatts of critical backup power capacity served by two 9 MW 12KV feeders from Santa Clara Valley Power.
"BAIS is very proud to have been able to complete the development of its Phase II datacenter in such a short period and be able to accommodate the power and cooling requirements of this valued customer. BAIS was able to accomplish this increase in high density power, because the site was designed and architected to accommodate incremental growth." said BAIS president and CEO, Tom Wye. "We have an additional 9 Megawatt 12KV feeder installed, which we will activate in our Phase III extension."
"We also just completed our SAS70 Type II audit, which amplifies our commitment to excellence in customer service and continued effort to offer a world class facility with industry's highest standard in operation and management to our customers." continued Mr. Wye. "We will continue to keep our position as a premier Co-location service provider in Silicon Valley and offer our customers premium service and support.

Two of my IBM colleagues, Julian Dolby and Graeme Johnson, recently presented at theInternational PHP Conference. Their presentation,PHP: A Language Implementor's Perpective, is availablehere.
I should point out that the topics presented here are research topics undertakenby IBM. Both presentations are the result of IBMers taking research and development experience in programming languagesand applying that to PHP. And specifically, the challenges that PHP presents.
Brief overview ...
Julian's presented on static analysis of PHP, specifically, how static analysis can be used to identify security problems.
Graeme's presented on looking at the PHP runtime through the eyes of someonewho has been developing Java VMs for the last decade.
Interesting stuff for folks interested in the nuts and bolts of dynamic languagesand runtimes, and of course, specifically, PHP.
BTW, this was the same conference that Tim Bray presented on web frameworks, and then blogged about inComparing Frameworks.
Enjoy ...

Dreamstride Cove is a location that appears in The Elder Scrolls Online. It is in the Summerset Isles, on tiny island off the coast of the mainland.
Miasma BoileryEdit
This is the main part of the Cove, and is only opened in the associated quest. Without this quest activated, it is shut by a small avalanche. Many Aldmeri Dominion banners are strung throughout, and slaughtered pirates are glimpsed among the thick purple Miasma. The Boilery is also featured here, along with the Thalmor that oversee it.
Thalmor RisingEdit
One of the Daedric Quests for Vaermina takes place here, and introduces a new artifact for the Daedric Prince called the Trance Cutlass. Many Altmeri Thalmor are seen and fought in this quest, apparently affected by the excess Miasma they were using to create a new, Miasma-affected blade (the Trance Cutlass for the Aldmeri Dominion. In the quest, The Vestige must purge the cove and retrieve the unique weapon and return it to a Priest of Vaermina in a radiant location.
Notable itemsEdit
- A copy of Cantillon's Correspondence lies just inside the Boilery room next to a dead pirate when the Daedric Quest is active; It is on the Arcane Enchanter without the quest.
- The Trance Cutlass is found on Auradel, the head Thalmor Justiciar.
- Captain Hark, a non-hostile Pirate, is met here without the quest. He can be found impaled on an Aldmeri Dominion flag during and after "Thalmor Rising."
Thalmor RisingEdit
- Thalmor Agent
- Thalmor Justiciar
- Auradel
- Pirate Marauder
- Corsair
- Summerset Shadow
- Reaver
- There is an Arcane Enchanter near the main Boilery in the last room.
- There are two Summerset Shadows (an Altmer rival to the Thieves Guild) present or dead in this cove, although it is not explained why, as this faction was newly created long after, in the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

FFXIVCore.com sat down with the new Final Fantasy XIV Producer Naoki Yoshida for a face-to-face interview and here are the questions we asked and also the answers we were given!
If you take out the physical level system, do you plan on adding ability trees, sphere grid, licence grid, etc type systems (Final Fantasy spin on classic MMO character building) that will still allow us to build out our classes as we please? If so, what are your thoughts, if not, what are your thoughts on the whole physical leveling system in FFXIV?
- We're not looking to copy what other MMOs are doing. But we are looking to move in that direction, and right now the battle team has two options that they're thinking of. And basically, they're battling against which one they're going to choose. We're going to be moving in a similar direction, but it's not something that copies another game.
- And with that, we want to get back to the roots of the original Final Fantasyesque jobs like Dragoons and White Mages. So we're trying to figure out how to get that to that new type of system.
Once parties are limited to a max of 8 players, any thoughts on an alliance system that will allow multiple parties to join up together as one large party to take on really big mobs?
- In the past the communities that were playing each game were a lot bigger, and so you could have a lot of people there. And now that the community sizes are smaller, we want to concentrate a little bit more on smaller party sizes, and so starting off with regular content that you can do with 4 players--making that our base. Then making bigger type of battles that you need to think about, "Ok how are we going to defeat this," and make that the 8-player party.
- The 8-player party is currently what you would think of as an 'Alliance' with normal parties being 4. Then once we have enough content to support that, we'll start considering adding content that requires more players. Right now it's 4 and 8, that's what we're aiming for.
A mention of class specific armor were brought up, would something like this come from quests or an event akin to something like Dynamis from FFXI?
- The illustrations that we showed in the last letter, that's just one aspect. We've got more planned--that's just one taste of what we have. We hope to have more unique items, more class-specific items, and we hope to have ones that are for low-level players as well as high-level players. And the ones for low-level players will be easy to get through maybe simple quests, where high-level players you might have to do multiple quests before you get that final item.
- And there will be many places to get this armor--not just through the quests, the raids, places like Dynamis. We're planning on introducing some low-level NMs, and these NMs will drop stuff for the lower level players.
What exactly does "Optimization of enemy size for ease of play" mean? On one lodestone site it refers to monster scale while others can be interpreted as monster party size, can you go into further detail?
- First of all, you've noticed that the monsters are all very beautifully designed. It's taken a lot of time, a lot of detail has gone into them. But the models are really small--you get out there and it's this little tiny rat. Making the monsters bigger so the players can get a better look at these really good designs. So by scaling it up in size, it actually means the monsters bigger in size.
- And also, you're out there fighting stuff, and you're this great big warrior fighting this little tiny rat. It's not as epic as fighting something bigger. But also it will make the monsters easier to target. Right now you usually have to target their name due to how small they are.
In the latest letter from the producer, there's something marked as Instanced PvE content (Dungeon/raids). A lot of players are veterans of Final Fantasy XI so immediately thought of content like Dynamis, Limbus or Assault - Can you go into detail on what type of content we can look forward to in this regard?
- It would be tough to say which it will be closer to, but if you had to say one, it will probably be similar to dungeons in other MMOs. But right now because we're working on the changes to the battle system at the same time, we're going to make something that can follow the progression--the evolution--of the battle system. Those instances will change over time as well.
- Because a lot of this stuff is going to be high-level, end content, we want to make sure that the battles all have situations where you have to plan out the battle, have the tactics to defeat it--not only defeat it, but pop it as well. It's something that will be the high end, the hardcore content.
On the topic of monster attribute changes and possibly player attribute changes, can you go more into detail on this? A lot of players feel everything is still a bit out of whack when it comes to the current attributes like dex barely affecting Accuracy or Shell barely reducing an Imps Blizzard damage.
- Our Lead Battle Director, Matsui-san, is currently undergoing--they're basically going to change the equations for how stuff is calculated, all of these attributes. As they balance each of the classes with the new balance system, they're going to go through and check each action. And then see how that needs to be adjusted, and reassign each attribute as they go along.
- Since it's going to be such a huge undertaking, it's going to happen in steps--it's not all going to change in the next patch, but over the next few patches we hope to change it. But we want to reassess everything, so it's not like we're going to be looking at one broken thing, we're going to be changing pretty much everything.
- One of the reasons that you have some of the things not affecting something at all--like Shell not working on a lot of spells--is because right now a lot of the calculations for that stuff is too complex. Because it's so complex, it's difficult to balance. They want to make it simpler, not just so the players know what's going on--having to have some super program going on in the background to understand the calculations--but also so when the devs do balancing, it's easier for them to balance.
In your letter, the blurb (Examination and implementation of changes to claiming and engaging enemies) was mentioned as well as in the players poll about possibly rewarding multiple parties for bringing a monster down - Players are worried this means the world will become "free-for-all", can you explain these in detail?
- We're going to make a lot of bigger battles, where lots of players will be involved in these large-scale battles. In these large-scale battles there will be multiple parties on the field. If you have a system where only one party can claim something, then other parties won't even be able to come in and help. Or to get them to come in and help, you have to have another special system to allow them to come in and help, and it just becomes to complex. So we want to have a system where it's easy to have another team to come in and help someone that's maybe in trouble.
- In the future there's going to be more instanced type stuff. With the more instanced type stuff there is, the less need you have for the claim system. Because you're going to have your hardcore players who have a lot, and you're going to have your players who don't play a lot as well, to give everybody equal chances to get into battles and do what they want to do. Having that claim system there preventing it is not something that we like. We'd rather for it to be more open.
There was a blurb about Addition of icons to make quest NPCs easily recognizable - What about the NPC Linkpearl system? Would this be used for getting quests or will this system be scrapped?
- We're not going to be getting rid of the NPC linkpearl system. That will be used in a different way. The new quests that we're going to be introducing in upcoming patches are more focused on the other NPCs--the other people living in Eorzea--not just the ones that you've seen in the class quests or the main scenario.
- While doing these quests you'll get to learn about the people living, their daily life in the city, the danger that is approaching in the coming months. And learn about the monsters, more about the lore in the game. These are completely different from the main story NPCs, and not linked pretty much in any way. Think of them as separate.
- While the NPC linkpearl system is used by those NPCs, these are more on a lighter level.
A majority of players would like to see the player search system redone, because currently unless you're almost standing on top of someone you can't form a party, but in Final Fantasy XI for example you can type "/sea all player name" and if they have a party flag up and are within the same region you can invite them to a party, send a tell add to friendlist etc. Will we get a better searching system in this regard?
- We recognize this as a very important problem that needs to be solved. It's just that currently we're trying to overcome some of the server issues, how to get the search feature to work. But we know that as we're creating more party-based content, the player is going to want an easy way to make a party--to limit the stress of making that party. So this is one of the things that's high up on our list, it just might take a little bit of time. There's going to need to be a lot of restructuring of what we have now to make it work.
What were the lessons you've learned from the release of Final Fantasy XIV that you've applied to planning the release on PlayStation 3, and future updates to the game?
- Making an MMO is so much more difficult than making a regular, offline game. Because the players are different, and the players are even different from how they were 10 years ago when the first EverQuest came out, or when FF11 came out. Players now expect something--they're not new to this, they're veterans--and so we want to give them something that from the get-go, there's no stress. It's easy to enter. You don't have to go "Well what do I do? Where do I go?"
- And from the get-go that Eorzea is going to be a fun place, and there's all this stuff waiting for you when you get in. Not "What am I going to do next?" and you can see all the stuff.
- Then once you get past that first step of getting into the world, you realize that there is just so much to do. There's a lot of content, it's not ending, there's all this stuff do to. And also, it's a real Final Fantasy game--it's not just some game--it has that Final Fantasy Flavor.
Sage: And then one thing that we weren't able to do last time is have that open beta. That open beta where we're able to go in and polish while listening to users. And we didn't do that as well as we wanted the first time. But this time we want to make sure that when we have our open beta, that we hear the voice of the users--we hear what they want--and then we actually implement that in the game before going forward.
- When you get in, you'll see that it's a Final Fantasy world. There are Chocobos. There are guys like on the package, with the great armor that Yoshida-san designed. When you get in there you can see that this is Final Fantasy.

Commercial Property: Prebuilding; Small Space in Move-In Shape Rents in Slow Market
Published: February 28, 1993
JOSH N. KURILOFF, the Cushman & Wakefield director who handles leasing at 450 Park Avenue, was having a really rough time moving the building's smaller spaces. The location, at 57th Street, was certainly good, and the tenant roster, heavy on international banks and financial services, was stellar. Yet when it came to spaces of less than 4,000 feet, no one even wanted to look.
Then Mr. Kuriloff got an idea. How about "prebuilding" the small raw spaces, subdividing them into offices, carpeting and painting them, and offering them in move-in condition? He figured that such space would attract smaller tenants who need offices immediately and would be delighted to dispense with workletter negotiations and dealing with architects.
His theory was on the money. A month ago the first prebuilt unit, 2,900 square feet on the 21st floor divided into four windowed offices, went on the market. Four tenants have submitted lease proposals.
"A small company just doesn't have the time and energy to go through the whole design, construction and implementation process of moving," said Mr. Kuriloff, who plans to prebuild about half of the building's 25,000 vacant square feet. "Prebuilding eliminates all of that."
Slowly, more and more landlords are looking to prebuilding as a way to move small spaces in a persistently sluggish market.
"No one's going to build a speculative office building," said Mitchell Arkin, vice president of commercial real estate for Rockrose Development Corporation, which owns Carnegie Hall Tower, next to Carnegie Hall. "But speculative office space is getting more palatable."
Landlords are prebuilding with some reluctance. After all, it means shelling out a considerable construction sum without a signed lease in hand. But often the pluses outweigh even that considerable negative.
Landlords generally get volume discounts and decent terms from subcontractors, making prebuilding cheaper than customizing on a tenant-by-tenant basis. Although the base rents for prebuilts are about the same as for raw space, landlords can often get away with fewer months of free rent.
They can generally re-lease the standardized space more easily than custom-built space. The prebuilt space can serve as an incubator for future leases -- today's start-up firm in its 1,000-foot prebuilt space could well become tomorrow's full-floor tenant.
And four small tenants generally pay a higher total rent than one large tenant -- not to mention their willingness to contract for electricity and other services through the landlord rather than directly through the utility, giving the landlord a hefty markup.
But perhaps most important, prebuilding has become a major competitive tool for attracting small tenants who are daunted by the sight of raw space and might otherwise turn to the burgeoning sublease market for space they can occupy right away.
"Big tenants get hung up on loss factors, on usable versus rentable space," said William G. Cohen, executive vice president of Newmark Real Estate Services, who has leased out more than 200,000 feet of prebuilt space at several Manhattan buildings. "Small tenants look for the 'fit factor,' the ability to spot immediately how employees and equipment will fit in."
Examples abound.
"We'd been in this ramshackle old brownstone that was falling around our ears, and here was this 2,000 feet of bright clean space in a real office building," said Terry Torchinsky, business manager of Tower Anesthesia Services, which just moved into prebuilt space at 215 Park Avenue South, near 18th Street. "It was like walking into a new apartment -- you can visualize exactly where your furniture is going to go."
Ms. Torchinsky was a step ahead of Michael Axler, in that at least she had furniture. Last summer, Mr. Axler incorporated as Michael M. Axler & Associates, real estate appraisers. That was the easy part; the hard part was finding someplace for his fledgling new company to live, and finding it fast.
HE looked at some raw space but could not visualize how to set it up quickly for himself and his three colleagues. He considered sharing space with lawyers and accountants whose practices had shrunk, but he did not want to submerge his new company's identity into someone else's office. And he looked at some empty sublet space, but the layouts were not right.
Then he saw a 1,600-foot prebuilt unit on the 12th floor of 432 Park Avenue South, near 30th Street. All the landlord had to do was put up another wall for another office. All Mr. Axler had to do was buy his furniture.
"The timing and the space, both were as close to perfect as possible," Mr. Axler said.
As more such accolades become public, more landlords are getting over their qualms about prebuilding. Over the last two years, management of 500 Fifth Avenue, near 43d Street, has rented about 80,000 square feet, or about 20 percent of available space, as prebuilt space.
"Sure, there's a reluctance to spend money in a leasing vacuum, but as the market became softer, landlords simply had to be more aggressive in attracting customers," said Donald Press, executive vice president of Broadway Management Company, which manages assets for Joseph Neumann, the building's owner.

"60 Minutes" correspondent Lara Logan issued an on-air apology Sunday evening for the now-discredited Oct. 27 report inside that Dylan Davies, a protection contractor, reported to have been a observe to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack found on the U.S. consulate inside Benghazi.
"We realized you had been misled plus it had been a mistake to include him inside the report. For which, you are surprisingly sorry," Logan told audience at the finish of the broadcast. "The most crucial thing to each individual at '60 Minutes' is the truth, as well as the truth is: you produced a mistake."
Logan's apology, that echoed remarks she had produced Friday about "CBS This Morning," was an attempt to correct an mistake which has dogged "60 Minutes" plus CBS News for over 2 weeks today. But her apology offered small inside the means of a explanation for the show's mistake, that has become a black mark for a system which has lengthy prided itself found on the level plus thoroughness of its reporting.
(POLITICO op-ed by Marvin Kalb: '60 Minutes' should do more)
To date, Logan plus "60 Minutes" have yet to explain why they didn't adequately vet Davies before airing the interview. They have not explained why they didn't obtain a copy of Davies' interview with all the FBI, inside that he mentioned he wasn't present at the U.S. diplomatic mission found on the evening of the attack.
For numerous journalists, Logan's apology left much to be desired.
"Lara Logan states her source Davies insisted he'd told her same story because he told FBI--but which was a lay. CBS place all its marbles about a liar," Howard Kurtz, the media critic at Fox News, wrote about Twitter.
"Wait, thus Logan is sorry they "included Davies" inside their report? Wasn't he the entire report?" asked Josh Marshall, the editor of Talking Points Memo, the progressive political information website.
"Lara Logan didn't state anything tonight which she didn't absolutely state about CBS about Friday," noted Gabriel Sherman, the NY Magazine staff author.
In his interview with Logan, Davies had reported to have been present throughout the raid found on the diplomatic mission plus to have enjoyed Ambassador Christopher Stevens dead inside the hospital. He furthermore mentioned he scaled the compound's 12-foot wall throughout the raid plus hit a terrorist with all the butt of his weapon.
(Also about POLITICO: The '60 Minutes' breakdown)
In his account to the FBI, nevertheless, Davies mentioned he wasn't present at the substance till the morning following the attack. That account was consistent with an incident report Davies submitted to his boss, the British-based contractor Blue Mountain, about Sept. 14, 2012, that was obtained by The Washington Post.
On Friday, sources familiar with all the "60 Minutes" report told POLITICO it wasn't till the evening of Thursday, Nov. 7, which "60 Minutes" obtained the official account of occasions which Davies had provided to FBI officials.
The development of CBS's knowledge of the FBI report is enjoyed inside the changing nature of their reaction to the controversy: On Wednesday, Logan, the correspondent that interviewed Davies, defended the report. On Thursday evening, "60 Minutes" announced it had "learned of hot info which undercuts the account told to you by Morgan Jones" (Davies' pseudonym). On Friday, both Logan plus CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager issued full-throated apologies.
That "60 Minutes" may have performed a year's value of reporting without adequately vetting Davies or getting the FBI's report was the topic of much hand-wringing over at CBS News about Friday, according to sources which talked with POLITICO. For several, it was additionally proof of the better truth: which "60 Minutes" largest asset — its longstanding standing because the most reliable brands inside tv journalism — could additionally be its biggest liability.
"60 Minutes" exists inside a silo at CBS News, usually by choice, these sources mentioned. Throughout their reporting, Logan as well as the "60 Minutes" team didn't find assistance off their colleagues inside CBS News's investigative device, many of who are well-sourced with all the FBI.
(Also about POLITICO: '60 Minutes' Benghazi failure invites Dan Instead comparisons)
"The query people are asking is: Did anyone at '60 Minutes' reach out to anyone outside of '60 Minutes' to vet this man. The answer is 'no,'" 1 source with knowledge of the occasions told POLITICO about Friday.
"Between John Miller, Chris Isham plus Len Tepper we have 3 journalists that have about because superior because sources because you have at the FBI," 1 source mentioned, referring to members of the CBS News investigative team. "Why weren't they asked, 'What does which FBI report state?'"
Over the last year, "60 Minutes" has additionally become freer from CBS News's editorial oversight. Until the beginning of 2013, the show's high-profile information packages were overseen with a senior network vice president responsible for practices. Because the departure of Linda Mason inside January, which position has become effectively non-existent. Al Ortiz, whom changed Mason, wasn't provided the same editorial control. He wasn't consulted for the program's package about Benghazi, sources mentioned.
Kevin Tedesco, the spokesperson for "60 Minutes," declined POLITICO's request for an interview in regards to the mistake plus both Tedesco plus Sonya McNair, the senior vice president for communications at CBS News, declined to state whenever the network learned regarding the FBI account.Read more about: 60 Minutes, Benghazi, Lara Logan
