NewSchool of Architecture and Design Collaborates with Global Firm Gensler to Offer a Specialized Design Studio

Posted on by


San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) May 15, 2013

NewSchool of Architecture and Design (NSAD) is collaborating with Gensler, one of the worlds leading design firms, to offer a special design studio this Spring term to six undergraduate and graduate architecture students. The Emergent Futures 2013 Gensler Professional Studio at NSAD gives students the opportunity to re-imagine San Diegos urban landscape, a project aligned with the schools mission to prepare students for professional practice through urban engagement, sustainable studies and international perspectives.

Genslers San Diego office is leading the NSAD Design Studio. The firm is a multiple winner of the BusinessWeek/Architectural Record Awards, the U.S. benchmark for business design innovation. Four designers from Gensler are teaching the course: Darrel Fulbright, Tom Heffernan, Marin Gertler and Ben Regnier. Gensler advisors Kevin Heinly, managing director of Gensler San Diego; Dan Robinson and Nick Alanen will also contribute to the project.

The studio challenges students to identify future opportunities for San Diegos existing urban fabric. Students research the downtown area, then select already-developed sites to explore how the urban fabric might be hacked to reveal a dynamic, livable and sustainable urban core. Through the 2013 Gensler Professional Studio at NSAD, students have the opportunity to explore urban sustainability issues while integrating the global perspectives of an international firm, said Kurt Hunker, NSADs director of graduate programs, who is coordinating this unique studio experience.

The six participating NSAD students were chosen through a competitive selection process. They include graduate students Alison Downton, Jisun Kwon and Logan Suhrer and undergraduate students Forrest Agnew, Kyle Duvernay and Ei Khin Khin.

The 2013 Gensler Professional Studio at NSAD is one among several high-profile collaborations between NSAD and renowned architecture and design firms around the world. This Spring term, NSAD is also offering a special design studio in collaboration with the internationally acclaimed Bjarke Ingels Group. The BIG-NSAD design studio is exploring urban design as it pertains to freeways and coastal environments.

Real Estate Investment Company Now Buying Homes in Florida at PLB Investment Group

Posted on by


St. Petersburg, Florida (PRWEB) April 02, 2013

The excitement and enthusiasm of buying a home can be overshadowed with the frustrations of selling a home. Not every homeowner is in a free and clear financial position to sell a home through real estate agencies. The PLB Investment Group is now buying homes in Florida as an expert real estate investment company. This company is now using its real estate connections and qualified lists of buyers to help homeowners sell homes faster and easier without complications. More details can be found on the Internet at http://www.realestatetampaflorida.com/sell-your-house.

Real estate agents and realtors take a commission that is charged to homeowners when the sale of a home is completed. The fees can vary from state to state and could accumulate to thousands of dollars for a standard transaction. While some owners can sell a property without assistance, those with difficult circumstances could have difficulty selling a property.

The experts now available from the PLB Group can now help homeowners sell homes within a shorter period of time. A new YouTube video has been created describing some of the new services at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3cprxveXvg.

A bankruptcy, divorce settlement, relocation or other issue could prevent a normal sale through a realtor. Because properties often require more than one professional to process a sale, homeowners with problems can sometimes be denied a listing. Repairs and other problems can also prevent a rapid home purchase.

The buying program now provided by the PLB Group is setup to accept a home in any condition for sale. The specialists that are able to introduce homes to qualified buyers help to expedite the sale process. Cities in Florida that are serviced by this company include New Port Richey, Clearwater, Lakeland and surrounding areas.

To help homeowners to present a home or property for sale, a secure contact form is now in use at the company website. This new contact form helps to eliminate the delays and issues using offline processing solutions. This company now monitors the data that is submitted using this form to respond faster to homeowners. A group of qualified buyers are part of the PLB network and offers are generally expedited to help sell homes and land parcels faster.

About PLB Investment Group

The PLB Investment Group is comprised of real estate investing experts currently helping homeowners to sell homes easier. This company sells homes in multiple U.S. states to offer easier ways for buyers and sellers to connect. Through expedited selling programs, this company accepts homes in any condition that can be sold without realtors or real estate agents. These alternative services are unique to the PLB Investment Group and are monitored for ways to streamline the process of selling. This company is one of few working hard for homeowners with extraordinary circumstances to obtain a sale date and closing for a property.

Columbus Bankruptcy Firm Fesenmyer Law Offices, LLC Launches Dedicated Bankruptcy Blog to Assist Ohio Residents

Posted on by


Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) March 06, 2013

Fesenmyer Law Offices, LLC is an Ohio-based law firm that helps the residents of the Greater Columbus and Dayton areas handle legal issues in debt consolidation, bankruptcy and foreclosure. The experienced attorneys working for the firm have successfully offered their legal assistance to Ohio residents to become one of the premier bankruptcy firms in Central Ohio.

America witnesses millions of bankruptcy cases every year, directly impacting Ohio residents. The fiscal cliff has further aggravated the situation with many fearing an impending bankruptcy flood for 2013. Offering financial relief in these tough economic times, Fesenmyer Law Offices has helped local residents in filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. To further assist the local community in better understanding the process, they have also launched a dedicated bankruptcy blog on their website.

Take a look at their bankruptcy blog here.

Thomas M. Fesenmyer, the spokesman for the Columbus bankruptcy branch of Fesenmyer Law Offices located at 610 S 3rd St, Columbus, OH 43206, said – At Fesenmyer Law Offices, we offer professional and supportive representation to protect our clients during the bankruptcy process. We offer a free, no obligation consultation. One of our experienced attorneys will analyze your financial affairs and help you make an informed decision regarding the best course of action available to address your financial issues.

The company helps its clients fight against repossession, wage garnishment, and foreclosure related problems. Reputed attorneys often charge a huge sum for recovering from a bankruptcy, but Fesenmyer believes in offering relief to all its customers through a free initial consultation and an affordable bankruptcy process.

Just like Ohio, many other US states witness thousands of cases of wage garnishment in which, creditors get the liberty to deduct a sum from the monthly or weekly wage of the employees. Addressing this issue on one of their featured posts on the new blog, In Ohio and many other states, there are forms of debt that are non-exempt from any wage garnishment conditions. The Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of Education retains the right to garnish wages through an administrative process for either unpaid taxes or delinquent federal student loans. An administrative process allows the federal agencies to bypass the process of receiving a court order prior to deducting money from wages.

The company also has a Dayton bankruptcy office for local residents located at 120 W 2nd St #1212, Dayton, OH 45402, apart from its Columbus headquarters.

With their bankruptcy blog, Fesenmyer Law Offices hopes to help Ohio residents in the overwhelming process of filing for bankruptcy.

About the Company

Fesenmyer Law Offices, LLC offers legal assistance to the residents of Columbus and Dayton, Ohio in filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 and Chapter 7, debt consolidation, real estate transactions, and foreclosure defense services.

American Sentinel University Profiles Seven Reasons to Pursue a GIS Masters Degree

Posted on by


AURORA, Colo. (PRWEB) December 18, 2012

As more dollars are earmarked for geographic information systems (GIS) technology in corporate and government landscapes, the demand is greater than ever for highly educated technologists who can apply geospatial concepts and insights to strategic development and decision making.

2012 has been the year of GIS and has been fueled by the current trend in location-based services. GIS has become the framework for analysis and decision making in most industries and economic sectors. Many companies are incorporating location-based data into their strategic planning, business decision making and competitive position, says Dr. Stephen McElroy, GIS program chair at American Sentinel University.

Dr. McElroy says now is an excellent time for GIS technology professionals to make themselves more marketable and shares seven reasons why now is a great time to earn an online GIS masters degree to help maximize professional impact in almost any industry.

1. GIS Saves Lives. Within the past two years, GIS technology helped survivors in more than two-dozen natural disasters, including the Japan tsunami, Joplin tornadoes and most recently, Hurricane Sandy. The world is increasingly at risk every year from the number of natural disasters and needs highly educated GIS professionals.

2. Existing Positions Now Require GIS. As companies begin to understand that location-based data is the key to better decision making, many organizations are adding basic GIS duties, such as mapping demographic information, to existing positions.

For example, a district manager in a fast food chain must now create theoretical customer models using GIS for purchasing real estate. Six years ago, a GIS technician would have executed this job, but now the average businessman or woman understands the software. However, these same companies still hire well-educated, highly experienced GIS professionals to build programs or educate these district managers. In other words, theres greater opportunity for top-level GIS pros.

3. Foreign Governments. As smaller governments are just beginning to use GIS technology, the consulting opportunities for high-level GIS personnel are only just beginning in the international market.

4. Google. Google has changed the world since its inception and its been one of the greatest GIS technology contributors since 2004. In October 2011, Google Earth announced one billion downloads. PC World also named Google Maps the most reliable and easy to use map on the Internet. The tech firm has also invested in smaller GIS companies, like Navagis, to build future GIS infrastructure. Simply put, Google makes smart business decisions and theyre investing a lot into GIS.

5. Military Technology. The government spends more on new military technology than most states earn annually. Each year, the technology is enhanced with more superior GIS equipment than the year before. Unfortunately, most of the new technology is classified. But, we do know the military works with only the top minds to perfect the next big thing.

6. Health Care is Bound by Geography. Disease surveillance can highlight important information that hospitals can use to anticipate volumes and demands for resources and outreach, says Kathy Wright, DNP, APRN, C-PNP, an American Sentinel University assistant professor of nursing. GIS can also be of vital importance to strategic planning, regulatory compliance, financial forecasting, business development and risk management for hospitals.

7. GIS is Crucial to Almost Every Industry. Every second of the day, different types of data are being generated in different ways, within different systems, communities and organizations in different locations all around the world. Traditional businesses, not-for-profits and local and federal government organizations have identified that this complex flow of data is the next frontier of business performance, market competitiveness and innovative, informed decision making in nearly everything we choose to do. While the data types may vary in their core content, their source and their meaning, one key factor applies to all types of data and is proving to be the critical factor in allowing this data to be truly valuable location.

Dr. McElroy points out that for professionals to use location-based information in assessing real-world problems and providing solutions, they must have an advanced level of higher education that includes knowledge and skills in areas such as spatial analysis, remote sensing, applied geography, cartography and computer science skills that can only be acquired from a GIS masters program.
