The Rise of the Creative Class
“Creativity is a great equalizer that
knows no bounds, no gender, no
social class, no skin color, no sexual
preference. It is not produced in
institutions, but comes from the
streets. Towns with a large creative
class have a „buzz,‟ an „excitement,‟ a
„creative energy‟ that‟s palpable.
Creativity should be a goal, such as
fitness. People want to be in a
community where they can be who
they are.”
Overview
• Nearly 30 percent of the American workforce is in the
creative field
• Companies covet these individuals
• We live in a day and age where companies move to
where the desirable work is, not vice versa
• There are three „T‟s‟ of a creative economy:
Technology, Talent and Tolerance.
• Cultivating the creative environment would result in
the area being more attractive to businesses and
development
Where Libraries Fit

Space
Credibility
“I‟ve had my work on display at the Library.”
Yeah…But What About the Video Game?
• Ideas to Capitalize on Dr. Florida‟s Presentation
Create the Buzz Instead of Feeding Off of it…
– Extend our hours one day a month, either by opening at 6 a.m. or staying
open till midnight
– Let the symphony hold chamber recitals in the gallery for an intimate
crowd of 50
– Allow a one-person exhibit in the gallery by a starting/struggling artist
each month at Main Library
– Wave the fee to out-of-state residents to allow true community access to
our collection
– Allow high school „garage‟ rock banks play once a week or one a month
in a corner of our garage
– Open McMaster for a video game tournament

Game Play- The Rules
• 1. Game Process
Each division will begin play at its designated time, and play matches at times as designated on site at the tournament.
Players not present at the designated start time of opening round games may lose their spot to another player. Players not present for second round any beyond games will be disqualified, and their opponent moved on to the next round of play with a 7-0 score.
Each player will have 2 1/2 minutes to configure controls, lineups, audiles and settings.
Referee will toss a coin to determine home and away.
In all rounds of divisional play except the final round, the player with the lower number (lower numbered ID tag) has CHOICE of calling heads or tails.
In the final game, the player with the greatest amount of points scored in all games played will call heads or tails in the air. In case of a point differential tie the player with the lower playoff number (lower numbered wrist band) will make the call.
All coin tosses will be made with the coin allowed to fall to the ground. If the coin strikes any object, or rolls under something, or its course is altered or view of the result blocked in any way, the toss will be re-done.
Players will be responsible to keep track of the time remaining, score, possession and field position. Players will track the score at least after each quarter, for resets in case of machine problems. The intention of this rule is for players to be aware of the score and situation so if a game is interrupted, the situation can be restored. In all situations possible, tournament referees will monitor the game situation for restore in the event of game interruptions.
Players will raise their hands at the end of the game so a referee can record their score. Only scores reported to the referee are official.
No replays or game interruptions, except for designated time outs and pauses to report scores, will be allowed.
Players may pause the game at any time as long as they have a time out remaining and call that time out. Players have 30-seconds for time-outs. If the time is exceeded, or if a player pauses the game without having time outs remaining:
No changes can be made during a game pause that a player makes without calling a time out.
If on Defense, the player will encroach until the offensive player has a new first down. Such encroachments will be immediate, running as little clock as possible. The Offensive player can elect to not enforce this penalty if the ball is inside the defender‟s 20 yard line.
If on Offense, the player will take a 10-yard loss by running backwards, out of bounds. The Defender will cooperate with this by pulling his defenders as far as possible back from the line, and by running deep coverage with no blitz.
Both players will call plays to enforce the penalty as quickly as possible.
If the game is near the end, and the penalty cannot be enforced because too little time remains (the game clock would run out,) then the game will be paused and the referee will determine how the game will proceed. Such a ruling will be made to the disadvantage of the player that violated the time-out rule.
Winning players must remain on site and be ready to play subsequent matches at the instruction of tournament officials.
Controllers are supplied by the tournament. If a controller is defective, a player must pause the game and notify the referee. Results of a play can be reversed at the discretion of the referee if the notification is made before the ball is snapped for the next play. The referee will determine the controller status in making such a decision.
2. Referees
Referees will be on site to monitor all game play. Referees will begin play, and will record scores for each game.
3. Revisions
All rules are subject to change without notice.
It is the players‟ responsibility to know and understand the rules as they exist the day of the tournament.
Changes may be made on the day of a tournament to rules or tournament format if necessary to accommodate special circumstances. Rules are subject to change, and the word of a tournament official is final.
4. In-game rules
