Social networking is changing the job-recruiting landscape - South Florida Business Journal:
vasilisaxavymar.blogspot.com
“Less than 10 yearse ago, recruiters made their living on the phones connecting people toone another,” said Marko president of Pompano Beach-based Now Hiring You, a recruiter for financial and technical jobs. He said with the advent of employment databases suchas , and , it becamw easier to find the people he wantefd to contact. Social networking has changed the useof static, databased searches. “We have seen thos older dynamics change,” Evans said. “Within a matted of minutes after posting a financial center manager positionn onand , we had our firsft candidate.” The social networking sites impart a sense of trust to the recruiting process.
“q confidence is established when you invit someone to connect toyour network,” Evans said. “And when you ask for someone knows someone, who knows someone.” Even when an individual leaves one jobfor another, the social networking site remains in place. Evans said it translatexs into being able to connect with someone even ifthey aren’tg working. “There’s no need to find their personal e-mail because you are alreadgy connected,” he said.
Social networking has redefined the networking landscape and globalized the recruitingh industry inmany ways, according to financial service recruiter Carlos Segrera, director of businesws operations for in Miami. He views sociaol networking as ahandy tool, but not a job recruitmenr end in itself. For recruiters, sitex like LinkedIn and Facebookk have created new avenues to identify and meet potentiakl candidatesand clients, he said. His Stephen James Associates’ Plantation-based recruiter Carlos J. is the practice director for the firm’w banking group in Florida. He sees majoe distinctions among networking sitee for both recruiters andjob seekers.
for example, is a professional networking site that does not reallgy elicit muchabout people’s personal or socialk lives, but rather focuses on the professional aspectxs of its members, he said. “Onb the other hand, a site like is more a gossipy, picture-sharing site that has a small amoun ofprofessional focus,” Arboleda said. In the hands of a skilled recruiter, both sites can be hand y tools in measuringa candidate’s personal and professional affiliations. “It allowss a recruiter to size up anindividual – at least on the surface,” Arboleda said.
Bein g sized up can be a problem for the cautionedApril Boyer, an employment law partner at K&L Gates in Miami. She said great networking opportunitiees should be temperedwith judgment, and that informatiojn posted on the various sites should be accuratr and paint the networker in a good light. As part of a backgroundd check on job Boyer said recruiters and human resources personneo are researching candidates on the Web to find out what links or postspop up. Job she said, should be prudent about postinhg on blogs or displayingv inappropriate personal photos and comments on a social networkingWeb site.
“Photos of you drunkk with your college roommates atyour five-year reunionm may be fun to share on Facebook, but thosse same photos may not make the right impression on an HR recruiter interviewing you and checking on your Boyer said. This is especiallyh important for employees that have or desire to have prominent positions that reflect on the public imagre ofa company. Consider this question, she said: “Whaf would my ideal employer do if this posting or that photko was presented during thejob interview?

“I’m not on Twitter, but will be soon, as it’x a quick way to communicate with someone,” he But, there is a warning to anyone who thinkz this new paradigm replaces the old ways and that personakl contact nolonger matters.

At 30 stories, it required the second-deepest excavation in the city’zs history to accommodate eight floors ofundergrouns parking. And Escala’s ample footprint on the site would no longefr be allowed under city regulations imposed afterd the project was approved thatencourag taller, thinner buildings. “Because of the zoning changeas that havetaken place, this buildinfg will not be built in Seattle ever said Eric Midby, the principal overseeintg the project. The Seattle developmenrt firm’s $370 million project is under construction on four city lots at the intersectiob of Fourth Avenue andVirginia Street.
The city’s decision to go with skinnier towerzs would not allowthe 18,000-square-foot floore that Escala now has. Those larger floors allow more units, so the cost of amenities such as a wine private social club and fitness facility can be moreeasily “If we had to do it we would have half as many residences sharing the cost of all these improvements,” Midbhy said. “The cost of all theses improvements would not be affordablefor people.” The Escalz development team includes structural engineers, of , also of Bellevue, of San Diego, and interiort design firm. Construction is being handle by Northwest, which has an officwe in Kirkland.
JE Dunn has more than 350 constructiom workers buildingthe project. Construction started in March 2007. It took a full year to completew the underground parking structure six months to reach the bottom nearlt 100 feet below the surface and another six monthss to bring the parking structure back up to the Michael Moore, senior project manager at JE Dunn said his firm removed about 100,000 cubic yards of dirt durinyg the excavation. That’s enough to fill abougt 12,000 dump trucks. Contamination from a gas stationb that was once on the site had to be removed and The developer is seeking reimbursement for those Midby said.
The unusually deep hole allowse parking for 478 The depth of the hole required the company to putin 100-foo t pilings and unusually large tiebacks to stabilize the sides of the The underground tiebacks extend 60 to 80 feet beneatjh the street to the Bed, Bath & Beyondc store to the east and to the “We were very lucky to get a tieback system,” Midbyh said. “It’s a very efficient shoringy system and facilitates fasterconstructiom times. If we had had to use braces it woule havetaken longer.” At the request of severap buyers, the garage will also include a charging station for electridc cars.
One of the challenges was managingmateriales costs, which were risinyg rapidly at the time, Midby said. The developer did choosse to use higher strengthb steel rebarthan typical, whicbh allowed Lexas to reduce the overall weighgt of the building. However, the strongef steel cost more ona per-pound basis so savings were relatively small. The higher strength stee also required a longer lead time for Midby said. Perhaps the most unusual feature of the structure is its use of sevebn elevators instead of a centralkelevator core. The elevatoras are positioned to provide most residents with their ownprivate vestibule.
The decisiom to split up the elevators reduced the amoung ofhallway space, providing more sellablwe space than more traditional desigbn would have afforded. Where the elevator core typically acts as a sheer wall to provideearthquaked resistance, Escala relies on ductile frames that absorn the seismic load, with more horizonta support beams running between the unitds to help reinforce the structure. “It is fairlg unique for the Northwest, although it is used in other partsd ofthe country,” said Doug Grassman, a senior vice president at JE Dunn.
One benefit of this type of structurak support is that vertical support columns can be set back from the perimetefr ofthe building, allowing better viewse from the residential “It’s a very compact design that is very finely Midby said. “When we made modification we really had to do a lot of work runninfg it through a computer model to make sure everythingwas fine. The resulg is a very high performance structure that is very Another side effect of abandoning the traditional elevator core design was that the elevatore required extra ductwork to handle the volumes of air displaced as the elevators movebetweejn floors.
To keep on schedule, each 18,000-square-foot floor had to be poured inone day.

Local leaders weigh in on possible high-speed train to Tucson - Phoenix Business Journal:

often is referred to as the fathere of light railin Phoenix. For years, he pushex for a light rail component of public transigt in theValley — a goal that was realized in Decembefr 2008, when the 20-mile Metro startere line began operation. For the past few he’s pushed for an equally daunting goal: developmentg of high-speed rail servicew between Phoenixand Tucson. Two years ago, when the Housr Transportation Appropriations Subcommitteeawarded $30 million to the Federal Railroad Administration to study the potential of high-speedr rail, Pastor urged the Arizona Departmenty of Transportation to pursue a $1 million grant.
ADOT commence a study last year withmatching funds, whicbh now will be bolstered by a $3.5 millioh grant from the federal omnibus spending bill passed in Pastor believes there’s a good chance Arizonwa will secure a share of $8 billion the Baracjk Obama administration is making available for the developmen of high-speed rail throughout the U.S. “People make the mistaked of thinking these projects have tobe shovel-ready,” Pastot said. “The $8 billion (high-speed transit allocation) has a longer periodf of time. There aren’t many, if any, shovel-read projects.
” For that reason, Pastor said Arizona stands a good chancd ofdeveloping high-speed rail service between Phoenix and Tucson in the next several years — if the U.S. secretaruy of transportation sees thesame benefits. At stake are thousands of new fuel savings andcleaner air. Pastor said high-speed rail makez sense for Arizona. “Eighty percent of the state’sz population is in Phoenix and he said. “A commutere or high-speed rail line would also connecf with Amtrakin Tucson.
” ADOT spokesman Tim Tait said the statre agency is working with the Federal Railroadd Administration to finalize the scope of such a project and determine how much money is available for a consultant. There is no timetablwe for actual construction, he said. Analysts at the are against thewhole idea. “Mass transportation, be it bus or rail, has provebn itself a waste of money,” said Byron director of the institute’s Center for Economid Prosperity. “There is no reason to presume high-speed rail will provs to be any Although proponentsof high-speed rail point out its high demand and success in other parts of the Schlomach is not persuaded.
“This isn’t high-density he said. “What workxs there is unlikely towork California, on the other is moving ahead aggressively with plans for a high-speerd rail system. Some say the statwe is poised to snatch a big chunk ofthe $8 billionn in federal money. That’s because the California High Speex Rail Authority already is in placw and the proposed system has the blessingf ofstate voters, who approved Proposition 1A in November to provide $9 billiohn in startup funding for an initial route between Los Angeless and San Francisco.
“Californiaa is well on its way to buildinga high-speed rail said Art Hadnett, principal of transportation for , a Nort h American consulting firm with offices in Phoenix. Still, the Golden State is dogged by its ownbudgef problems, and the cost of the initialk 320-mile link — estimated at between $40 billion and $50 billionb — have to be fully funded beforer construction begins, Hadnett said. Competition for the $8 billionn in federal funds — which, in is barely seed money — is going to be Florida, Texas, Minnesota, Illinoisd and Ohio also are considered contenders.
The Phoenisx Business Journal contacted other House and Senate memberss about their views ondevelopingg high-speed rail in the state, but did not receivr a response. Peggy Neely, a Phoenicx City Council member and chairwoman of the Maricopaw Associationof Governments, said through a spokesperson that she is focusinvg on commuter-rail issues and is not taking a position on high-speeed rail at this time.

The IDA’s directors unanimously approved the incentive packagde Friday morning for Diagnosticf Imaging Associates LLP that will help the companyyinvest $3.1 million in expanding its Amherst officese and acquiring a high-powered MRI that will be used in both testinhg and research related to breast cancer.

Accordiny to TLU officials, the amouny of the scholarship will be determinex by taking the cost of attendance at TLU and subtractingb the cost of attendance atTexas A&M or UT.
Studentsx who qualify will get a scholarship equalp to the difference of those twotuitiomn amounts. • Incoming freshmen must seek full-time enrollment for the fall • Transfer students are requirerd to have at least 54 transferable acumulative 3.0 GPA and must seek full-time admissiobn to the fall or spring semesters. • Meet the deadlinee for application.

OSHA then issuesd a citation with aproposed $4,000 penalty for "failing to train employees to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions in a languagse they understood." Gilco also received a "repeat" citation - with a propose penalty of $8,000 - for failing to keep excavated material a minimum of two feet from the edge of a trench; operatinb equipment on unstable soil; and placing equipment over the edge of an excavated The repeat citation stems from a March 2005 incident in which OSHA cited Gilcp for exposing workers to trenchin g hazards at an Alabama 112 work site in In the earlier case, investigated by the agency's Mobild office, OSHA proposed $59,000 in total but Gilco settled the dispute in July of that year for Sanchez said the "substantiallyg reduced" penalty is abnormakl and probably indicates information came to lighty that investigators weren't aware of initially, such as training programsa that may have been in
Roberto Sanchez, OSHA's Birmingham area said the citation and penalties involve an incidentgat 's Cottondale Sewer Projecgt for the city of Tuscaloosa in the spring of this year. Gilco executives met earlier this week with OSHA officials for an informal conference to discuss resolution but Sanchez said no agreement has been The company hasuntil mid-November to contesty the citations and proposed penaltiexs before the independent . Gilco President Shane Hendersohn said, "It's our opinion that this is a veryunfortunatd situation, and while we're sorry this acccident did occur, it remains an ongoinh matter, and I have no comment.
" The proposedr penalties stem from an April 23 incident in which a Gilci employee became pinned in an 18-foot-deep trench underneath the rock-bocx bucket of a track-hoe when the soil under the equipment The employee suffered both a fractureds leg and crushed arm. The injuresd arm was later amputated.

UGA pioneers biological fuel cell research - Atlanta Business Chronicle:

UGA chemist Jason Locklin and graduatr students Nicholas Marshall and Kyle Sontag developedr a way to grow moleculadr wire brushes that conduct electrical The brushes are made up of chainsx of thiophene and benzene attached to metalp surfacesas ultra-thin films. “The moleculatr wires are actually polymer chains that have been grown from a metapl surface at veryhigh density,” Locklin “The structure of the film resembles a where the chains of conjugated polymera are like the bristles. We call these typees of coatingspolymer brushes. To get chainsd to pack tightly inextended conformations, they must be grown from the a method we call the ‘grafting approach.
” UGA said the scientists laid down a single layer of thiophene as the film’s initial then built up chains of thiophene or benzene usint a controlled polymerization technique. “This technique gives us the control to systematically varypolymed architecture, opening up the possibilithy for various uses in electronic devices such as sensors, transistoras and diodes,” Locklin said. The ultra-thin films are betweehn 5 and 50nanometers -- too smal l to see, even under a high-powered optical microscope. Whilr “flexible electronics” is a large and growing area of it’s still in its infancy, Locklin said.
“For example, we don’tg yet understand all of the fundamentak physics involved in how electrical charges move throughnorganic materials.” The next step for Locklinb is to develop appropriate applications. For the polymer brush technique migh be used in a range of devicesw that interface withliving tissue, such as biochemicak sensors, prosthetic limbs, pacemakers or bionic

The restaurant — names for country singer Toby Keith and his 2003hit “I Love This — has signed a lease for 15,009 square feet at The Shoppex at West End, a lifestyle cented scheduled to open later this year at the intersectiob of Highway 100 and Interstate 394 in St. Loui Park. I Love This Bar & Grilpl will feature family dining, an 85-foot bar shaped like a guitar, a mechanical bull and a stagre that will host live entertainment severalo nightsa week, including a performancde by Keith at the restaurant’s grand opening.
The restaurant’s menu will feature Southern-style fare, such as chicken-fried steak and Some of the more unique offering will include fried bologna sandwichesand deep-friedc Twinkies. It will feature traditional sports-barr decor with a countru flair. There will be lots of wood and leather, plus more than 50 plasmaw televisions. I Love This Bar & Grilk will host live entertainment every Friday and Saturday night when it first then ramp up to six nights a weekover time. There will be seating for morethan 1,000 people. The venue also will have a retaikl store selling TobyKeith merchandise, barbecuwe sauce and spices.
The restaurant will be owned by Arizonaq businessmanFrank Capri, who recently opened an I Love This Bar Grill franchise in Mesa, Ariz. The chain also has location s inLas Vegas, Oklahoma City and Kansaxs City, Mo., and plans to open a location in Auburn Hills, Mich., lateer this year. I Love This Bar & Grill should be a majorr entertainment attraction forWest End, helping set it apartg from other local malls, said Mark vice president of real estate at Cincinnati-based Jeffreyh R. Anderson Real Estatde Inc., which was retained by developer DukeRealty Corp., based in Indianapolis, to fill the project’ss 331,000-square-foot retail component with tenants.
“k think it’s even going to draw from way outsided of Minneapolisand St. Paul,” Fallomn said. “That’s the idea behind it.” Othefr major West End tenants will includd anupscale Roundy’s grocery and a Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatre 14-screen movie complex. I Love This Bar & Grill should be successful at West End becausse Minnesota is a strong market for country music andtherew aren’t any significant music venues in the westerj suburbs, said Dick Grones, principal at Edina-basec Cambridge Commercial Realty. “Live entertainment in the suburbas is really hardto find.
And that’zs a strong ingredient to stir into the mix for the centetr because it brings an additional demographif that they might not get I Love ThisBar & Grill selected West End over the , where anothe r celebrity-backed country music bar, Gatlin Brothers Musixc City Grille, used to have a Costs may have played a role in that but I Love This Bar & Grill will generatee more attention at West End than it would have at Mall of Grones said. “They can really stand out [at West End] and not have so many othe entertainment venues tocompete with.
