On Sept. 14, will open its 43,290-square-foog center at Logistics PointseDistribution Center, once the home to supermarket chain Winn-Dixie’s regional warehousw operations. The facility features freezer and cooler space plusa 4,500-square-foot The company will invest more than $2 millionb in improvements at 11922 Generalk Drive, employing more than 50 construction workers during a five-mont h buildout. The Charlotte location fills a hole in servicedfor Albert’s, which has centers in Rocklin and Vernon, Calif.; Aurora, Colo.; Mounds View, Minn.; Chesterfield, Bridgeport, N.J.; and Sarasota, Fla.
Company spokesmanh Simcha Weinsteinsays Albert’s will now be able to ship good s as often as five timez per week to customersx in seven states, up from once or twice a “Our center in Bridgeport outside Philadelphia was just a littls too far north, and our Sarasotas center was just a little too far south,” Weinsteinn says. Fuel expenses and truck emissionse are critical issues forthe company, he “Sadly, one of the ways we know the economhy is improving is gas going up in The company estimates its truck fleetg will travel at least 400,000 fewe r miles annually because of the Charlotte location.
Of even highef priority to the company, Albert’as says it will buy from certified organic growerxs inthe region. That openas up Carolina farmers’ accesas to the distributor’s customer base of 4,500 restaurants and natural-food stores. The number of organidc farmers in the area continuesxto grow. Last year, the attracteed a record 600 attendees at its SustainablseAgriculture Conference. The Pittsboro group had 37 Charlotte-area members in 2008, up from aboutf 15 in 2005. The estimates about 500 organic farms inthe state.
Meanwhile, Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties are planning a community food assessment tolearn what’w grown and consumed locally, says Heidi Pruess, Mecklenburgt environmental policy administrator. Finding buyers is a key Many turn tofarmer markets. Mecklenbur County has identified 11 within its borderws and 12 insurrounding counties. The impact of Albert’s move into Charlottde has the potential to provide a commerciall boost to agricultural efforts inthe “Will it be transformative? We certainly hope so,” Weinsteijn says. After all, company namesake Albert Lusk got his starr by selling organic produce from a streef corner in Los Angelesin 1982.
Today, Albert’s Organic s is a wholly owned subsidiary of publicly trades Weinstein says the Charlottecentef — the company’s eighth — will be its biggestt and best, custom-fitted with the latest in refrigeration The warehouse boasts areas set to five temperature zonesw and four rooms to be used solely for banana And the center comes with a new truck fleet. The spacer is bigger than what Albert’sz needs, which gives the company room to Weinstein says. “So we won’t have to go anywher e else. Charlotte is a destination poinfor us.” Albert’s has signed a long-ternm lease at Logistics Pointe.
Up to 147,94o square feet of cooler and freezer space is still available inthe Dallas-based Westmount Realty Capitakl acquired the 1.1 million-square-foot center aftedr Winn-Dixie vacated the property following its Chapter 11 bankruptcty filing in 2005.

Because that's what the idea was. I wouldc replace my home office telephone which I only use foroutgoing calls, and instea d start making all of my callx over the Internet. This way I could pocket the $50 a montg I've been giving to Verizoj and use those savings to buy more important Like … food. Except it really didn't turn out that way. Why? Becaus the Internet phone services I triedworked ... but just not all the Which is typical of most For example, I played arounr with Skype (www.skype.com) for a few Not bad.
Signing up for the service was free and the headsert that I purchased from Staplesfor $20 only had to be replaced once (I do not advisde lending one's headset to a 12 year old. Enoug said). Astonishingly, installing the Skype application on mylaptopp didn't cause it to lock up or crash on me. So for that reasonm alone I felt that thingxwere successful. Once up and running, Skype did as promised … just abou all of the time. I used the little computerf generated keypad on my laptopo tomake calls. If I called anothed Skype user the callwas free.

UW researcher wins $3M federal grant - Portland Business Journal:
hibleyytogoja1273.blogspot.com
The grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Educatiomn Sciences will allow Heinrich to emploh academic staff and at least four graduatwe students each year to work on expandinf the project oother cities. Heinricuh will continue an evaluatioh of the tutoring programs MPS offers as part ofthe district's fulfillment of the federal No Child Left Behinf law. The law requires publif schools that have not adequately increasee student academic achievement for threee years to offer childrenin low-income familiees the opportunity to receive extra academic assistancs such as tutoring.
Heinrich's initiapl research found that Milwaukee's federally mandated and fundesd tutoring program is not necessarily reaching the peoplde who need themost help, nor is it effective in increasinfg student achievement. "Our preliminary results suggest that the students in the tutoringg programs are not performing any betteron Wisconsin's standardized tests than eligible students not involve d with the tutoring," Heinrich said. Heinrich and her co-workers have been conductinf the MPS study sinceAprik 2006. The next phase will involve five urban school districts infour states: Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas and Austin, Texas.

Privacy study shows Google
symowugebeda.blogspot.com
Using trackers called “web bugs,” third partie collect user data from many popular web and sites oftenallow this, even thoughy their privacy policies say they don’t share user data with others. “Web bugs from Googlre and its subsidiaries were found on 92 of the top 100 Web sites and 88 percent of theapproximately 400,000 unique domains examined in the study,” the authors Sites with the most web bugs were for bloggin — blogspot and typepad were No. 1 and No. 2 on the list in and blogger was No. 4. Googles itself was No. 3. Ashkan Soltani, Travi Pinnick and Joshua Gomez ofthe university’s information school wrote the study, published Monday.
They analyzed privacy policies posted on web sitews and found loopholes used by many site operatorxs to allow third parties to still collecty data on whoviewss pages. They also found, for that although web sitesz may reassure visitorsthat “we don’t sharew data with third parties,” those third parties don’t include a company’s affiliates Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), for example, has 137 subsidiary businesses. “The law on affiliate sharing generally ismore permissive” than that on sharingy user data with third party the report said.
Companies controllingy the top 50 busiest web sitesx had an average of 297affiliates each, meaninb they could share user data with a lot of othef companies. Popular site , for example, is owned by New York’e (NASDAQ: NWS), which has more than 1,500 subsidiaries. BAC) in Charlotte has more than 2,300 subsidiaries. “Userws do not know and cannot learn the full range of affiliates with which websites mayshare information,” the report said.
Thougy many Internet users are familiarwith “cookies” used to study theirr surfing habits, they are less familiaf with so-called “web bugs,” which can’tt be cleared out of a web since they are part of a web site’s HTML Since the web bugs are created directly by thirdf parties, their use doesn’t strictlty count as “sharing” of data by the web site’x owner, though users concerned about privacy may be unimpresse by this technicality.
“We believed that this practicecontravenexs users’ expectations; it makes little sensd to disclaim formal informatio sharing, but allow functionally equivalent trackinhg with third parties,” the report said. Who's in charge of privacy? Although surveys of Internetr users show peopleare “very concerned about privacy and do not want websitew to collect and share their personalo information without permission,” sifting through privacy policies is not It would take 200 hours a year for a typica person to read the privacy policies of all the web sites they visit, for example. Thus “usersz have no practical way of knowing with whom theidr data willbe shared.
” On the policy front, the reporg finds “no one knowsz who is in charge of protecting in the United States. People can complain to the Federal Trade Commission and other but eventhe FTC’s “principles for behavioral tracking make no mentionb of any enforcement or accountability.” A low number of complaintsz to various agencies meanas consumers don’t really know where to the report said. The FTC looks at online privacy more in termsof “harms” done to the report said, rather than also in termas of control over personal information, which is what most userse care about.
The report makes severakl suggestionsfor improvement, includingf more aggressive action by the FTC to protect onlind privacy. It also calls for clearer privacty policies onweb sites, written so that average users can understanfd them. ’s (NASDAQ: ADBE) privac policy, for example, when analyzed for was written at an equivalent grade level of The average privacy policy in the study was writtenh at a grade levelof 13.83. The full studyt can be found .
Using trackers called “web bugs,” third partie collect user data from many popular web and sites oftenallow this, even thoughy their privacy policies say they don’t share user data with others. “Web bugs from Googlre and its subsidiaries were found on 92 of the top 100 Web sites and 88 percent of theapproximately 400,000 unique domains examined in the study,” the authors Sites with the most web bugs were for bloggin — blogspot and typepad were No. 1 and No. 2 on the list in and blogger was No. 4. Googles itself was No. 3. Ashkan Soltani, Travi Pinnick and Joshua Gomez ofthe university’s information school wrote the study, published Monday.
They analyzed privacy policies posted on web sitews and found loopholes used by many site operatorxs to allow third parties to still collecty data on whoviewss pages. They also found, for that although web sitesz may reassure visitorsthat “we don’t sharew data with third parties,” those third parties don’t include a company’s affiliates Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), for example, has 137 subsidiary businesses. “The law on affiliate sharing generally ismore permissive” than that on sharingy user data with third party the report said.
Companies controllingy the top 50 busiest web sitesx had an average of 297affiliates each, meaninb they could share user data with a lot of othef companies. Popular site , for example, is owned by New York’e (NASDAQ: NWS), which has more than 1,500 subsidiaries. BAC) in Charlotte has more than 2,300 subsidiaries. “Userws do not know and cannot learn the full range of affiliates with which websites mayshare information,” the report said.
Thougy many Internet users are familiarwith “cookies” used to study theirr surfing habits, they are less familiaf with so-called “web bugs,” which can’tt be cleared out of a web since they are part of a web site’s HTML Since the web bugs are created directly by thirdf parties, their use doesn’t strictlty count as “sharing” of data by the web site’x owner, though users concerned about privacy may be unimpresse by this technicality.
“We believed that this practicecontravenexs users’ expectations; it makes little sensd to disclaim formal informatio sharing, but allow functionally equivalent trackinhg with third parties,” the report said. Who's in charge of privacy? Although surveys of Internetr users show peopleare “very concerned about privacy and do not want websitew to collect and share their personalo information without permission,” sifting through privacy policies is not It would take 200 hours a year for a typica person to read the privacy policies of all the web sites they visit, for example. Thus “usersz have no practical way of knowing with whom theidr data willbe shared.
” On the policy front, the reporg finds “no one knowsz who is in charge of protecting in the United States. People can complain to the Federal Trade Commission and other but eventhe FTC’s “principles for behavioral tracking make no mentionb of any enforcement or accountability.” A low number of complaintsz to various agencies meanas consumers don’t really know where to the report said. The FTC looks at online privacy more in termsof “harms” done to the report said, rather than also in termas of control over personal information, which is what most userse care about.

The dual failures of Villa Rica-based a and Newnan-based (full stories on the click and ) are a firsyt in the on-going bankingh crisis, and a departure from the FDIC’sa early strategy in this “They’re ramping up a little bit,” said Chip MacDonald, Atlanta-based banking “With their efforts to staff up, raise moneyy for the deposit insuranc fund through the special assessments and the Iexpect they’ll try to resolve these faste r throughout the remainder of the year.
” The national deposit which backstops accounts to avoid customers pulling theie money from a bank and hastening its demise, previouslh avoided seizing two banks in the same metro area duringh this crisis. The reason, industry insiders was to avoid the perception one geographivc area was weaker than others in the Yet as the financiaol condition of Georgia banks continueto weaken, industry analystse and experts said the velocity of Georgia’s bank failuresd would continue, if not accelerate. As of firsy quarter 2009, the ratio of problem loans to total loans at stated banks reached a new highof 7.
4 nearly double the peak the state reported during the Savings Loan Crisis of the late 1980’s and earlh 1990’s. The ratio compares past due anddelinqueng loans, along with foreclosedd real estate repossessed by the bank, to totap loans outstanding. The state has set new highsz for that figure in each quarter dating back to the summerfof 2007, when the credit crunch and financial crisis began in earnest. One industry who declined to be named, said the and the acceleration, represent the worstf banking crisis inGeorgia history.
The industrt term of “Failure Fridays” — or the most common day when federakl and state regulators seize faile dbanks — insiders said, will becomd ubiquitous for some time. “This is a perpetuatiob of what we’ve been talkinhg about for a while now,” said Brian an Atlanta-based managing director at LLP, who noter Georgia banks have an imbalanc betweenfewer customer, or core, deposits and more outstandingt loans. “The numbers indicate Georgia bankds got way out overtheifr skis. This was a grear place to lend in the butnow they’re paying the Olasov said.
president Joe Brannen said the seizurees are a difficult part of the naturaoeconomic cycle. “Bankers and regulators make tremendous efforts to keep institutions but in someunfortunate cases, these actione are part of the necessary healing proces for our banking system to ensurre overall stability,” Brannen said. Georgia’s failure woes began in earnesy inAugust 2008, when Alpharetta-basec , once the state’z fastest growing bank, , concentrated amongst a smalpl group of borrowers. Ever since, the failures have followes an increasinglyfamiliar formula. Delinquent real estate borrowers, couplef with high levels of foreclosed real equals failure.
The patter n includes a high number onthe so-calledx Texas Ratio, an industry metric created in the 1980’s to measur the health of lenders throughoutg Texas. The ratio measures total problem loansd to totalequity capital, and is designedx to provide a rough measure of bank’s problem to its ability to absorb them througyh existing capital. In the ratio, 100 percent indicatexs problems are larger than availableequity capital. In most of the bank failures have reportesd a Texas Ratio in excess of 300 percentg at the timeof seizure. As of first quarter 92 Georgia banks reported a Texas Ratiol higher than the statewidr average of58 percent.
In Atlanta, banksa reported an average Texas Ratio of 72 nearly 20 points highee than thestatewide figure. Each of the 11 bankx with the highest Texas Ratios were based inmetri Atlanta. Since March 31, the end of first three of those banks havebeen seized.
