Topics for the workshop 1xbet sports betting :
* 1xbet sports betting , What, When, Where and Why -- And Why "Why" Matters Most

* Audience Awareness: Who the Heck Are 1xbet sports betting Talking To?
Would 1xbet sports betting try to sell trips to the Amazonian jungle to an agoraphobic? No. Why? Because that's not who buys them.

1xbet sports betting NEW HOME TO PRESTIGIOUS DEMOCRACY JOURNAL
Kansas State 1xbet sports betting has become the new home of the Journal of Public Deliberation, with K-State's David Procter and Timothy Steffensmeier serving as co-editors.

Procter is a professor of communication studies and director of K-1xbet sports betting 's Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy; Steffensmeier is an assistant professor of communication studies and an associate with the institute.

The decision to move the journal to K-1xbet sports betting was made in July by the executive committee of the Deliberative Democracy Consortium, which publishes the journal. K-1xbet sports betting was selected because of the Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy's experience with democracy scholars, practitioners, extension educators and public officials.

"We were particularly struck by the highly interdisciplinary work of the institute, which fits well with the diversity of academic interests in deliberative democracy," 1xbet sports betting Matt Leighninger, executive director of the consortium.

Procter and Steffensmeier 1xbet sports betting pursue several initiatives as new editors of the journal. They want it to be the premier, peer-reviewed journal in deliberative democracy. They also want to increase the number of issues published per year, broaden the readership, and increase international submissions and readership.

In addition, Procter and Steffensmeier want to expand the journal's presence in online deliberation issues, as well as increase essays and articles on the value and process of 1xbet sports betting participation in political governance.

1xbet sports betting EXPLAINS BRAND REPUTATION'S KEY ROLE IN A STORE-WITHIN-A-STORE
With the concept of a store-within-a-store growing across the country, a Kansas State 1xbet sports betting researcher's work shows the increasing importance of brand reputation and its strong role in governing decisions.

Richard McFarland, associate professor of marketing, and four colleagues recently completed "Understanding Governance Decisions in a Partially Integrated Channel: A Contingent Alignment Framework." Their research 1xbet sports betting be published in the elite Journal of Marketing Research next year.

The research looks at separate companies who entered a store-within-a-store agreement, which occurs when a manufacturer has 1xbet sports betting own store and salespeople inside a retailer store. Examples of a store-within-a-store include Estee Lauder using cosmetic stores in department stores, Jones Apparel Group placing salespeople in department stores and Apple Inc. using the Apple Sales Consultants Program, which places Apple salespeople in retail stores. In such stores the manufacturers hire and train their own sales force so that they can control how their brand is marketed and the customer service they provide.

"1xbet sports betting 's interesting in a practical sense because more companies are starting to do this," McFarland said. "1xbet sports betting 's important to be able to provide companies with advice on whether they should do 1xbet sports betting or not. For companies who are doing 1xbet sports betting , how they manage those relationships has practical implications for retailers."

Although the concept of a store-within-a-store is growing in importance in the United States, 1xbet sports betting has been popular for years in Asia, and 1xbet sports betting is beneficial for global companies in the U.S. to be familiar with the store-within-a-store model, McFarland said. The research team used data from Korea for the study and coined the term "partially integrated channel," or PIC, to describe a store-within-a-store.

The store-within-a-store concept is especially common among strongly branded consumer markets for cosmetics, apparel and technology goods, McFarland 1xbet sports betting .

"These are generally characterized by short product lifestyle and rapidly changing customer preferences," he 1xbet sports betting . "Because things are changing so quickly, manufacturers want to have flexibility, but at the same time, they want to have salespeople there so that they can have good customer service and good customer support."

While the benefits for both sides are mutual, the research shows that cooperation between the manufacturer, the manufacturer's sales force and the retailer is key for a store-within-a-store to succeed, McFarland said. Manufacturers with rapidly changing products like the flexibility that a retailer can provide, and a store-within-a-store lets the manufacturer have more control of 1xbet sports betting brand and brand reputation. On the other hand, retailers are able to attract more customers with well-established and well-known products, as well as a knowledgeable sales force.

Brand reputation, market uncertainty and sales force performance ambiguity are key factors in how the three entities interact, McFarland 1xbet sports betting .

"If brand reputation is high and feedback from the retailer is high, then the manufacturer is going to give more decision power to the salespeople," McFarland said. "If environmental uncertainty is high and brand reputation is high, the manufacturer 1xbet sports betting be more flexible with negotiations with the retailer."

Other researchers involved in the project included: Stephen Kim, associate professor of marketing at Iowa State 1xbet sports betting ; Soongi Kwon, a visiting professor of Korean Studies at Suzhou 1xbet sports betting in Suzhou Jiangsu, China; Sanggi Son, dean and professor at Daejin 1xbet sports betting in Suzhou Jiangsu, China; and David Griffith, professor of marketing at Michigan State 1xbet sports betting .

CLEAN-UP WORK TO BEGIN AT FORMER 1xbet sports betting RESEARCH WASTE LANDFILL
Work cleaning up an old research waste landfill on the Kansas State University campus 1xbet sports betting begin soon. The site was a burying ground for low-level radioactive waste and chemicals.

The Kansas Board of Regents has given approval to a remediation plan for the Old Chemical Waste Landfill, which is in a fenced-in area north of Kimball Avenue and to the west of K-State's grain science complex. The university's clean-up plan is being done in collaboration with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency. A public notice about the project 1xbet sports betting be issued soon by the state Department of Health and Environment.

The project is estimated to cost .7 million and 1xbet sports betting be paid for from a combination of sponsored research overhead funds and bond funds, according to Bruce Shubert, K-State vice president for finance and administration.

The landfill was used by K-State from the mid-1960s to 1987. It was created with the approval of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and was a burying ground for tritium, carbon-14 and other short-lived radioactive elements. The 1xbet sports betting also disposed of some chemicals at the site from 1979 to 1983. The 1xbet sports betting has been monitoring the site since 1990 to ensure there are no problems with contamination to the community.

Steve Galitzer, director of the department of environmental health and safety at K-State, said burying such waste was a common practice for research universities at the time, and that K-State followed all government regulations on hazardous and radioactive waste disposal. Galitzer also said that by having its own site, the 1xbet sports betting was not disposing of radioactive waste and chemicals in the Riley County landfill.

"The times and regulations on handling of hazardous wastes have changed," Galitzer said. "K-State no longer buries such waste; all of 1xbet sports betting now goes to a treatment storage or disposal facility, as required by law."

Galitzer said the 1xbet sports betting has a detailed record of the radioactive waste that was buried at the site, along with a general idea of the chemical waste that was buried.

"1xbet sports betting 's time to get 1xbet sports betting cleaned up for good," Galitzer said. "We have spent about 0,000 a year since 1990 to monitor the site, with costs expected to escalate in the future."

The clean up 1xbet sports betting begin in October or November with groundwater remediation. Galitzer said monitoring, done several times a year for the past 20 years, has shown groundwater at the site does not go off campus.

The remediation plan starts with building a 100-foot by 4-foot trench on university property to capture a plume of contaminated groundwater and then clean it with a treatment system. By July 2011 sampling of the landfill soil 1xbet sports betting start. Workers 1xbet sports betting begin digging up the landfill in January 2012, removing its contents, sorting and screening them, and then shipping them to the proper facility for disposal. Workers involved 1xbet sports betting wear hazardous materials suits, and signs 1xbet sports betting be placed on the site to inform the public of the project.

A final assessment of the remaining soil at the landfill, to ensure that it is clean according to KDHE and EPA standards, 1xbet sports betting be done by April 2013. The landfill 1xbet sports betting then be filled and the site restored.

Galitzer encourages anyone with questions about the 1xbet sports betting , the remediation plans or other concerns to contact him at 785-532-5856 or galitz@k-1xbet sports betting edu.
