(2) BUT within historic districts, the # of HLC-initiated nominations is limited to one per month, if both other slots are filled. I think it’s reasonable to conclude that within historic districts, the # of HLC-initiated nominations is limited to one per month, even in response to demo permits. How about this -- (1) add “or relocation” after demolition (2) after “located in National Register of Local Historic Districts,” insert” , other than those initiated by the Commission in response to a request for a demolition or relocation permit,” Makes (2) pretty wordy, but could avoid arguments/concerns.

For many (at least those in the “cool” cities like ours), coworking space has provided a much- needed resource to those who aren’t quite ready to lease an entire office, but can’t bear the thought of spending one more day of work inside their apartment. Even enterprise users, from accounting firms all the way to Facebook and Microsoft, are finding value in coworking space as a way to offer a more flexible work environment. Because coworking has become such a booming industry in Austin, we wanted to highlight a few of the most interesting facts and figures that we could lay our hands on.

    uNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Civil Action No. 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Plaintiff, COMPLAINT vs. ( Case: 1: 1O-cv-01245 DELL INC., MICHAEL S. DELL, KEVIN B. Assigned To: Leon, Richard J. ROLLINS, JAMES M. SCHNEIDER, LESLIE L. Assign. Date: 7/22/201.0. JACKSON, NICHOLAS A. R. DUNNING Description: General CIvil Defendants. Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission" or "SEC") alleges as follows: SUMMARY 1. The SEC brings this action for various disclosure and accounting violations involving Dell Inc. ("Dell") from 2001 to 2006. Dell's disclosure violations, which relate primarily to Dell's receipt oflarge payments from Intel Corporation ("Intel"), fraudulently misrepresented the basis for Dell's impr~ving profitability. Dell's separate fraudulent and improper accounting during this tirrie period wrongfully made it appear that Dell was consistently meeting Wall Street earnings targets and reducing its operating expenses through the company's management and operations. Dell's Intel-related disclosure violations involved the conduct of senior executives, including Michael Dell, Chairman and, at various times, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"); Dell's former CEO Kevin Rollins ("Rollins"); and Dell's former Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") James Schneider ("Schneider"). Dell separately committed the accounting violations through the conduct of defendant Schneider and other senior former accounting executives. Defendants Leslie Jackson ("Jackson"), Assistant Corporate Controller, and Nicholas Dunning ("Du~ing"),Finance Director ofDell's Europe, Middle East, and Africa region ("EMEA") aided and abetted Dell's improper accounting. 2. From2002 to 2006, Dell failed to disclose the significant benefits it received from large payments from Intel and materially misrepresented the basis for its improving profitability.
