The most common question I get from interested real estate investors is "Why is Memphis a place I want to invest for the long-term?".? This week, Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton, Jr. made the answer easy for our company...and every other Memphis company spreading the word about our great city.?
Here is a copy of the letter from October, 11th from Mayor Wharton.? This is one of those classic examples of how leadership and dedication can inspire and propel a city forward.? From government leaders to civic leaders all the way to community leaders, optimism for the continued growth of our great city abounds.? As we all know, when a city has the right pieces in place, en environment for growth takes hold.
Growth in not only jobs and population, but also growth in incomes, business revenues, home sales and home values.? Growth hits in so many economic areas and it all starts with the right leadership from the top.? You can read the full letter below and visit the Memphis Connect website to see where it was originally posted.
This city is on the rise...and for long-term real estate investors, whether you pick Memphis for your investments or not, always invest based on where a city is going.? Memphis is going up!
All the best,
Chris
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Friends,
Memphis is a city abundant in deep roots, from the Old Growth Forest to the Greenline to the 4,500 acres of Shelby Farms Park.
But deep roots are not just reserved for our green spaces. From New Chicago to Soulsville, Orange Mound to Annesdale-Snowden, Uptown to Downtown to Midtown, Memphis is a close-knit city. We are bound together by our churches, our schools, our music, our spirit, and our soul.
Here are the crossroads, history is made not by worrying about what you don?t have, but by taking care of business with what you do.
Some cities never sleep, this one never rests.
Last year, Memphis went on the road with an award-winning Broadway show. Barack Obama, the President of the United States, came here to be inspired by a group of local high school students. With newcomers like Electrolux and Mitsubishi Electric joining the familiar faces of KTG USA and Riviana Foods, Memphis received $1 billion in economic investment.
More recently, the world saw this city?s grit and determination in the Academy Award-winning documentary ?Undefeated.? It recognized its heart when the Memphis Grizzlies won ?Beyond Sport Team of the Year? during the London Olympics for the team?s charitable efforts. It heard its siren song when 75,000 people paid tribute to Elvis Presley on the 35th anniversary of his death. And it celebrated this city?s creativity and culture when Cooper-Young was named one of the 10 best neighborhoods in the country.
Each and every day, Memphis is branching out. You can call it a comeback, but for those who have lived here and left, now is the perfect time for them to return to their roots.
Even for those who have never been here, this may be the perfect place to put down some new ones.
With support from the Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Greater Memphis Chamber, and Sullivan Branding, we invite you to send the Comeback video to the former and future Memphians in your life and invite them home. Help us change the world, again.
Yours in Service,
A C Wharton, Jr.
Mayor of Memphis

If you think packing for a two-week holiday can be stressful, wait till you try packing for your first term at uni. Now that?s going to be super-stressful: what do you want to take? How much of it will fit in the car? You?ll probably get a gentle parental reminder that there will actually be kitchen sinks where you?re headed, so it?s time for a re-think: as opposed to what you want to take, what are you actually going to take?
And then, of course, there?s the money side of things. Now you?ve got your student bank account, it?s up to you to make sure you don?t empty it paying for things you might not have had to pay for before ? but which you?re definitely going to have to pay now. So here?s a couple of costcutting hints to keep your student finances afloat for as long as possible.
Can you, for example, have your smartphone surgically (and, hopefully, painlessly) removed? Obviously there?s more to that little block of high-tech than just the ability to talk to people further away than shouting distance, and for the first few weeks in unfamiliar territory a map app isn?t a bad thing to have.
And on the subject of looking things up, when it comes to textbooks and your recommended reading list, don?t be surprised if, in total, those books would cost more than the GNP of a small African country ? each and every term. Obviously one option is the university library, but you?d have to be very fast on your feet and also very lucky when you get there before everybody else.
Possibly, but then again, another option would be eBook versions of texts, as would eBay ? or even, if you?re happy with notes scribbled in the margin (which might come in useful one day) copies gathering dust on bookshelves belonging to students a year or two about you. And it would be surprising, given the state of most students? finances, if they wouldn?t accept a few quid under the publisher?s recommended retail price for their copy.
ApplytoUni.com helps and advises prospective students on applying to university and provides information on writing Personal Statements. The site also boasts a wide range of resources available regarding studying engineering and Student Finance.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Northwestern universities have discovered how to control the shape of nanoparticles that move DNA through the body and have shown that the shapes of these carriers may make a big difference in how well they work in treating cancer and other diseases.
This study, to be published in the Oct. 12 online edition of the journal Advanced Materials, is also noteworthy because this gene therapy technique does not use a virus to carry DNA into cells. Some gene therapy efforts that rely on viruses have posed health risks.
"These nanoparticles could become a safer and more effective delivery vehicle for gene therapy, targeting genetic diseases, cancer and other illnesses that can be treated with gene medicine," said Hai-Quan Mao, an associate professor of materials science and engineering in Johns Hopkins' Whiting School of Engineering.
Mao, co-corresponding author of the Advanced Materials article, has been developing nonviral nanoparticles for gene therapy for a decade. His approach involves compressing healthy snippets of DNA within protective polymer coatings. The particles are designed to deliver their genetic payload only after they have moved through the bloodstream and entered the target cells. Within the cells, the polymer degrades and releases DNA. Using this DNA as a template, the cells can produce functional proteins that combat disease.
A major advance in this work is that Mao and his colleagues reported that they were able to "tune" these particles in three shapes, resembling rods, worms and spheres, which mimic the shapes and sizes of viral particles. "We could observe these shapes in the lab, but we did not fully understand why they assumed these shapes and how to control the process well," Mao said. These questions were important because the DNA delivery system he envisions may require specific, uniform shapes.
To solve this problem, Mao sought help about three years ago from colleagues at Northwestern. While Mao works in a traditional wet lab, the Northwestern researchers are experts in conducting similar experiments with powerful computer models.
Erik Luijten, associate professor of materials science and engineering and of applied mathematics at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science and co-corresponding author of the paper, led the computational analysis of the findings to determine why the nanoparticles formed into different shapes.
"Our computer simulations and theoretical model have provided a mechanistic understanding, identifying what is responsible for this shape change," Luijten said. "We now can predict precisely how to choose the nanoparticle components if one wants to obtain a certain shape."
The use of computer models allowed Luijten's team to mimic traditional lab experiments at a far faster pace. These molecular dynamic simulations were performed on Quest, Northwestern's high-performance computing system. The computations were so complex that some of them required 96 computer processors working simultaneously for one month.
In their paper, the researchers also wanted to show the importance of particle shapes in delivering gene therapy. Team members conducted animal tests, all using the same particle materials and the same DNA. The only difference was in the shape of the particles: rods, worms and spheres.
"The worm-shaped particles resulted in 1,600 times more gene expression in the liver cells than the other shapes," Mao said. "This means that producing nanoparticles in this particular shape could be the more efficient way to deliver gene therapy to these cells."
The particle shapes used in this research are formed by packaging the DNA with polymers and exposing them to various dilutions of an organic solvent. DNA's aversion to the solvent, with the help of the team's designed polymer, causes the nanoparticles to contract into a certain shape with a "shield" around the genetic material to protect it from being cleared by immune cells.

Dropbox is the long standing king of consumer-focused universal cloud storage solutions and it continues to update its Android app with new features and refinements. The latest update -- version 2.2 -- brings a new UI for the entire app and several improvements around managing photos.
The blue and white contrast UI is still here but with a more intense blue, with small tab buttons on the top and more pronounced contrast with the white icons. Folder views are the same, except now your camera upload list is in its own tab with more of a "gallery" feel. Images are loaded with thumbnails and categorized by date. One tap on an image brings you to a full screen view with the normal favorite, share, export and delete keys. We're happy to see that Dropbox has also integrated the "holo" design standards insofar as the search and overflow settings button are concerned.
You can grab the app or an update from the Google Play Store link above, and stick around after the break for a few screenshots of the UI improvements.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) ? Call it the Canadian dynasty of teenybopper pop and movie stardom.
Genealogists at Ancestry.com say they've discovered teen idol Justin Bieber is a distant cousin of movie star Ryan Gosling and singer Avril Lavigne. Their family link dates back to some of Quebec's earliest settlers 400 years ago, the Utah-based company said Thursday.
As if Bieber didn't have enough superstar genes, Ancestry.com also said he's a distant relative of singer Celine Dion.
"The great thing about family history is that you never know what you're going to find," said Michelle Ercanback, a researcher with Ancentry.com. "It was a very pleasant surprise."
Ercanback said researchers begun tracing Bieber's family lineage about a year ago by paging through teen-idol magazines to find biographical tidbits from the pop star.
What they say they found was that Bieber and Gosling are 11th cousins once removed, and Bieber and Lavigne are 12th cousins. They share common relatives Mathurin Roy and Marguerite Bire, the researchers said. Both were born in France in the early 1600s, married in 1637, and moved to Quebec, where Roy worked as a master mason.
The genealogists also said Bieber and Dion are 10th cousins three times removed because they're linked to French couple Jacques Vezina and Marie Boisdon, who were born in the early 1600s. They moved to Quebec, where they died in 1687.
Ercanback said she didn't know if these celebrity links are "sufficient to point to the existence of a superstar gene."
In July, Ancestry.com announced they had found that President Barack Obama could be the descendent of an African slave, after an examination of his white mother's family history.

ScienceDaily (Oct. 10, 2012) ? A new technique that allows scientists to grow lung cancer cells in three dimensions could accelerate discoveries for a type of cancer that has benefited little from scientific research over the last several decades.
The model, created by researchers at The Methodist Hospital and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, uses biological matter to form miniature lungs that mimic the structure and function of real lung cancer, after which human lung cancer cells are added. Findings from the model's first tests were recently published in the journal PLOS ONE.
"We found that the 3-D model we devised worked in most respects much better than 2-D models currently being used in lung cancer research," said Min Kim, M.D., the study's Group leader. "New models for lung cancer research are crucial because current models frequently do not correlate with the findings of human trials. The challenge is creating a model that we can study that can accurately predict what will happen in patients with lung cancer."
Scientific advances aiding the understanding and treatment of lung cancer have been limited and slow relative to breast and prostate cancers, among others. In 1975, the five-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with lung cancer was 13 percent. In 2005 (the most recent year for which reliable data are available), that survival rate had only increased to 16 percent.
"The lack of progress in finding effective treatments for lung cancer may be due, in part, to the lack of an accurate model that mimics the biological processes that occur in patients with lung cancer," Dhruva Mishra, Ph.D. the first author said.
The Methodist-MD Anderson model uses a rat lung "matrix," a framework created after the rat lung cells have been chemically removed. This translucent matrix is then infused with human lung cancer cells derived either from a patient or from a cell line. The cells that stick to the matrix are allowed to grow in nutrient rich, oxygenated broth that moves into and out of the lung space.
The model was first described by Mishra and many of his PLOS ONE co-authors in an Annals of Thoracic Surgery paper in April 2012. The present PLOS ONE paper reports the first tests of the model comparing its performance to other non-animal models.
The 2-D model Mishra and colleagues used for comparison is the conventional, flat surface flask, the most commonly used system for cell culture. Cells grow along one of the flattened sides below a shallow broth of nutrients. This model is commonly used in lung cancer research.
Mishra and his co-authors found that unlike the 2-D model, their 3-D model allowed the lung cancer to form "nodules," something the cancer does naturally in living tissue. The nodules are believed to play a crucial role in the cancer's growth and metastasis. The 2-D model produced an unnaturally high number of cells if left alone, whereas cell growth in the 3-D model provided more realistic cell growth and programmed cell death. The 3-D model also coaxed meaningful growth with preserved vasculature for inflow of nutrients and cells after four and six days showed signs of interacting with each other (also a natural phenomenon). Cells in the 2-D model simply grew haphazardly to fill spaces.
The 3-D model also produced more matrix metalloproteinases, a family of enzymes that researchers believe are required for lung cancer cell growth. Other important gene products, caspase-3 and ki-67, were also measured at higher levels in the 3-D model.
"Our lab is exploring this novel 3-D model for lung cancer to better understand the mechanism behind cancer metastasis," Kim said.

VietNamNet Bridge ? Nearly 30 years ago a French film executive Jean Jacques Annaud went to a southern city of Can Tho to fire scenes for his film The Lover. He was seduced by a beauty of a ancient residence of Binh Thuy, and motionless that it would form a partial of his movie.
Stately mansion: The heavily rhetorical Binh Thuy House was built in 1870. ? VNS Photos
Many people saw a residence in a film ? that featured Jane Mar and Tony Leung Ka-fai as a French lady and a Chinese male who fell in adore in 1920s Viet Nam ? and have done a debate to Can Tho to revisit it.
Recently we was one such visitor. During a brief stay in a city we braved a sleet with a friend, rented a motorbike and visited a house, that can be found in Bui Huu Nghia Street, Binh Thuy District, 5km from Can Tho.
To a surprise, a residence seemed even some-more pleasing than a one we remembered from a film. The grey skies beyond could not low a fantastic beauty of a East -West pattern and a eager flowers sitting in front of a immature windows above a balconies embellished pink.
The charming demeanour of a residence done us forget that it was built some-more than 140 years ago.
Annauld found a singular pattern of a residence quite appealing, with a multiple of eastern and western cultures.
Precious: A turn marble-topped list stands in a residence by Vuong Bach Lien
While a outward coming of a building is a French design, a interior is totally Vietnamese.
The centrepiece of a residence is a vast ancestral altar, that is lacquered in red and embellished with gold.
The house?s biggest warn however is a value trove of ancient objects that have been recorded for generations. There is a turn marble list dating behind to a 18th century, a integrate of 19th century unresolved lamps, and a set of French list and chairs from a 17th-century power of Louis XIV.
The residence is also versed with pleasing ancient wooden furniture, and all from a rinse dish to a jars in a kitchen are profitable antiques.
According to Ngo Thi Ngoc Lien, a aged lady charged with looking after a residence and receiving visitors, many collectors frequently come to ask a family to sell a ancient objects. Their ask has always been refused, even during times when a life of a owner?s family was really difficult.
The 300sq.m residence has witnessed a arise and tumble of her family by Viet Nam?s violent history. It was built in 1870 by a family named Duong, who initial arrived in a southern segment by a late 19th century.
?
The tangible owners of a residence is Duong Chan Hien, a grandson of Duong Chan Ky, a landlord who was a developer in a 20th century. According to Lien, when French colonialists assigned a segment they forced her family to leave a house, and soldiers lived in a building during those years.
The residence has now turn a place of ceremony for a Duong family. During gratifying days and anniversaries of family members death, a children and grandchildren accumulate together to commemorate their ancestors and organize large celebratory parties. Except on those special days, a residence is open to visitors for a whole year.
Lien pronounced that she has welcomed tourists from many opposite countries, a lot of them drawn to a residence by The Lover.
?I am astounded to see such an aged and pleasing house. The still ambience of a place is really suggestive of some scenes in The Lover. we am overwhelmed to see that such an aged place could be recorded and stay undamaged,? says Tran Nhu Nguyen, a visitor.
I was totally bewitched by a house; a architecture, a story and also a smashing 4,000sq.m garden. We were given a discerning debate of a garden and enjoyed a far-reaching operation of flowers planted. It hosts several kinds of orchids and cacti.
Lien explains that Duong Van Ngon (1905-85), from a fifth era of a Duong family, desired orchids. He attempted to collect several kinds along with other flowers. His descendants have cared good for a garden, that includes a 40-year-old 10-metre cactus.
Famous: A print for a film L?amant (The Lover) sealed by executive Jean-Jacques Annaud
was given to Duong Minh Hien, a owners of a home.
After a debate we sat down during a mill list underneath a yard?s hulk trees and took another demeanour during a outward of a house.
The sleet continued to tumble heavily and so we sought preserve underneath a wooden roof where a Duong family used to splash tea in a aged times. The surge done me remember a stormy stage from The Lover where a Chinese male begs his father to concede him to marry a French lady that he loves.
Inspired by a success of a plcae in that film, countless internal directors have selected to fire their cinema in Binh Thuy. It has starred in Chan Troi Noi Ay (The Distant Horizon), Nhung Neo Duong Phu Sa (The Silt Ways), and Cay Tre Tram Dot (the Hundred-Knot Bamboo Tree).
Thanks to a antique beauty, it has been recognized as a inhabitant vestige for architectural humanities by a Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism given Mar 2009. This new approval has done a residence even some-more appealing to visitors.
The provincial supervision and descendants of a owners are perplexing to keep a residence stable while also publicising it all over a country.

Startup Weekend Tijuana is a three day (54 hour)? event, which? will be held from Friday, October? 12 ? Sunday , October 14 at the BIT Center (Baja?s Innovation and Technology Center), Tijuana. The event is the perfect place where the entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can talk about viable startup ideas and new business visions. Usually the attendees of this event are, more than half of them, technical experience and the other half business experience.
There are priority sectors in Baja California from medical device to automotive sector, aerospace industry to the newest Software, information technology sector and culinary arts industry.
The first three priority sectors are key industries of the Maquiladora Sector in Mexico.
The last two priority sectors are more creative and are rising at a small scale comparing to the first three industries. In recent years a significant number of technology-oriented businesses have emerged in Baja California and the restaurant industry in Baja California is gaining reputation at the international level.
So, in order to promote local? technological innovation? a few institutions were created such as the Mexico Innovation Development Hub, dedicated to software development, graphic and digital design, Boxel Interactive, a center specialized? in digital graphic arts and animation, Baja Innovation and Technology Center, where small startup tech companies are operating under its umbrella.
The Startup weekend initiative is coming to keep encouraging the consolidation of this new rising sector, where? developers, designers, marketers and product managers will met in order to receive feedback on an idea, look for a co-founder, or learn a new skill.
During the three day event, speakers, mentors and facilitators will give a presentation followed by the organization of the attendees in working teams according skills and ideas. There will be coaches and mentors to help the teams? one on one. At the last day of the event every team will be able to have a final presentation. A judge will decide over the best project, which can actually be promoted as a new business project in Baja California.

Over the past five years, the Satellite Transmission Services industry in China has been growing at an annualised rate of 13.8 per cent and is set to generate $285.9 billion in 2012, according to IBISWorld. The industry has benefited from increasing demand for satellite television broadcasting and communications. The coverage of major sporting events, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the Shanghai Asian Games, also had major effects on the industry?s performance.
The industry has a high level of market share concentration. Satellite transmission services are strictly regulated by the government so entry into the industry is difficult, and the largest state-owned enterprises, China Satcom, CCTV Satellite, SINO Satellite Communications Company and Beijing Marine Communication and Navigation Company, enjoy enduring oligopoly benefits.
As an emerging high-tech industry providing various communication services, satellite transmission service operators have great market potential. However, the industry has faced a strong substitution threat from optical wire-based transmission services in recent years, says IBISWorld. Optical wires or cables are less costly to deploy and maintain, and are capable of providing higher bandwidth.
?
In 2007, SINOSAT-3, ChinaSat-6B and ChinaSat-9 were launched in China, which greatly increased the industry?s capacity for television broadcasting and global positioning system (GPS) services. Satellite positioning and navigation services have become an important segment for the Satellite Transmission Services industry in China in the last two years as a result of inexpensive and domestically developed GPS devices.

NASA satellites continue to gather data from Tropical Storm Nadine on its twenty-second day of life in the eastern Atlantic as it threatens the Azores again. NASA data has shown that wind shear is pushing the bulk of clouds and showers away from Nadine's center of circulation
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Azores. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) expects tropical storm conditions associated with Nadine to spread over the northwestern Azores during the night hours on Wed. Oct. 3 and early Oct. 4.
NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Tropical Storm Nadine on Oct. 2 at 1517 UTC (11:57 a.m. EDT) and captured infrared and near-infrared images of the storm using the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument. AIRS data showed the strongest thunderstorms were located north and east of the center of circulation. Near-infrared data, which appears more like a visible image, still showed an eye-like feature in the storm's center, despite its tropical storm status.
On Oct. 3 at 11 a.m. EDT, Tropical Storm Nadine had maximum sustained winds near 50 mph (85 kmh). It was centered about 405 miles (650 km) west-southwest of the Azores near latitude 35.1 north and longitude 33.3 west. Nadine was moving to the east at 14 mph (22 kph), and had a minimum central pressure of 1000 millibars.
Some weakening is forecast during the next two days, but Nadine is expected to still be a tropical storm when the center moves near or over the Azores, according to the NHC.
Nadine is battling wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures, two factors that will make the storm transition into an extra-tropical cyclone. Wind shear is so strong over Nadine that the strongest thunderstorms and rainfall are pushed northeast of the center. The NHC forecast calls for Nadine to most likely become a post-tropical cyclone by Oct. 5 or sooner, before it becomes absorbed by a large extra-tropical cyclone.

(CNN) - A new report says there are fewer teens drinking and driving than there were 20 years ago.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the findings Tuesday.
It said 10 percent of high schools students 16 and older admitted to drinking and driving last year.
In 1991, that number was 22 percent.
The report attributes the decline partly to all U.S. states raising the minimum drinking age to 21 and zero tolerance laws for teens caught drinking and driving.
