The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr crowned NME Genius

LONDON (Reuters) - Guitarist and songwriter Johnny Marr who made his name with cult British rock band The Smiths in the 1980s was named on Tuesday as the winner of this year's NME Godlike Genius Award.

Marr, 49, founded The Smiths with Morrissey in 1983 and the two musicians co-wrote the band's songs for four albums before going their separate ways in 1987.

The guitarist has also played with Billy Bragg, The Pretenders, The The, Modest House and The Cribs, and has led his own band, Johnny Marr and The Healers, for over a decade.

Marr will collect the award on February 27 when the music magazine holds its annual prize ceremony in London -- two days after he releases his debut solo album "The Messenger".

"The NME seems to be good at giving this award to people I like so I'm in good company. I guess it means that some things are alright with the world," Marr said in a statement.

NME editor Mike Williams said Marr had played a role in rewriting the history of music with The Smiths.

"He's continued to push boundaries and evolve throughout his career, working with some of the best and most exciting artists on the planet," said Williams.

Previous winners of the NME Godlike Genius Award include The Clash, Paul Weller, The Cure, Manic Street Preachers, New Order & Joy Division, and Dave Grohl. Last year's winner was Noel Gallagher.

NME awards are handed out in 22 categories with music fans casting votes.

This year four acts have received four nominations including the Rolling Stones, LA sisters Haim, Australian rock band Tame Impala and British alternative hip hop artist M.I.A.

Daily Chronicle | DeKalb mayoral candidates talk business ...

DeKALB ? In the past five years, nine new businesses have been developed in downtown DeKalb.

Eighteen new businesses have been developed along Sycamore Road, along with nine along Lincoln Highway and five along Annie Glidden Road. During the same time, the city?s overall equalized assessed property value has dipped about 10 percent from $645 million to $582 million.

Meanwhile, the city increased its general fund savings from $21,869 in 2010 to a projected $5 million, or about 17 percent of annual expenses in 2013. Overall, city staff was reduced from 237 full-time equivalent positions in 2009 to 211 this year.

These were some of the data and accomplishments City Manager Mark Biernacki recently presented city leaders to give a broad perspective of city government over the past five years. The four candidates seeking to lead DeKalb for the next four years applauded those accomplishments ? but they think more work is needed.

Both Mike Verbic, DeKalb school board member, and David Jacobson, First Ward alderman, voiced concerned about the number of empty storefronts in downtown DeKalb and elsewhere.

Verbic and Jacobson are facing former Re:New DeKalb executive director Jennifer Groce and Re:New DeKalb secretary John Rey in the April election. Mayor Kris Povlsen is not seeking re-election.

The progress report lists only one new business development along South Fourth Street ? Dollar General. City officials and candidates have talked about the need for economic development in the area, including a new tax increment financing district. The city has two of the special property tax district, and leaders are exploring adding two more.

?We need to engage the public with these public projects like TIF,? Verbic said.

Jacobson said while the city has made progress, he is worried about the falling property tax revenues. With the city?s current tax increment financing districts both expiring by 2020, Jacobson said the city needs to find a way to re-develop without them.

Rey wants to improve the city?s ISO rating, which reflects the city?s fire protection capabilities and affects area insurance premiums. On a scale from zero to 10, with zero being the highest, DeKalb has a four.

?That could mean savings to homeowners in the form of fire insurance expenses,? Rey said, adding that this would have to be weighed against other priorities.

Biernacki?s report also noted that the city has saved $108,777 by outsourcing services, including economic development, inspections and engineering.

Verbic praised the work of City Attorney Dean Frieders of Frieders Law, LLC. Groce said she wants to explore other areas where the city can work with other governments, including the local school and park districts and even neighboring communities, to reduce duplication of services.

?What else can we do with local government to save residents money?? Groce said.

There are 22 hours, 19 minutes remaining to comment on this story.

Assert yourself gracefully ? Business Management Daily: Free ...

Research shows that women who are afraid to have an assertive conversation at work are more likely to want to leave their jobs. Rather than resign, you can learn how to have those conversations that might feel uncomfortable. Being assertive, when done with grace, ensures greater work satisfaction and can even lead to career advancement.

Consider the following examples.

???Cynical Sam, whose passive-aggressive style includes snide remarks about co-workers, is at it once again. In the break room, his snarky comments about Mary, your co-worker, cause you to cringe inwardly. But this time, instead of slipping away quietly at the first opportunity, you could come to Mary?s defense, telling Sam, ?Gee, I don?t know why you would say that. I?ve never heard her speak of you that way.?

???Someone else always gets to be in charge of in-house office parties, and you?d like to play a role, but you?ve been denied the opportunity in the past. Time to speak up to your supervisor and say,? ?In the past two years, Janice has been in charge of the office events. I?d like to play a stronger role and I?m curious how to make this happen. I?ve already approached Janice twice and she tells me she doesn?t need my support.? ?

These previous two examples could be considered warm-ups for the following two topics, where many people have difficulty speaking up.

???Not feeling appreciated is a big reason people leave their jobs. So make sure you ask for feedback. You could choose to be direct and simply say to your supervisor, with a big smile and a humorous tone, ?Did you know that giving appreciation to employees is the number one factor to motivate them? On a serious note, if there?s something I?m not doing that prevents you from letting me know you?re pleased with my work, I?d love to address it.?

???What if you?re unhappy with your salary? Take the time to do the research and make a case for yourself based on what you?ve accomplished. Try to put a dollar figure on why you deserve a raise. Have you saved the company money? Increased revenue? Created greater customer loyalty? Document and deliver the goods.
