text: content LE Magazine September 2007 The Abigail Alliance Motivated by Tragic Circumstances, Families Battle an Uncaring Bureaucracy By Sue Kovach Founded in November 2001 after the tragic cancer death of its young namesake, Abigail Kathleen Burroughs, the Abigail Alliance is working for FDA regulatory changes that would allow patients with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses—and no other treatment options—to have access to promising investigational drugs. The Abigail Alliance is seeking to have legislation passed that will remove the regulatory barriers currently preventing seriously ill patients from gaining early access to developmental drugs showing efficacy in clinical trials. The Alliance also aims to modernize the FDA's antiquated scientific approval process for drugs intended to treat life-threatening diseases, and seeks to place the decision to use experimental treatment options with patients and their physicians, rather than the FDA. Abigail Burroughs: Inspiring Change Abigail Kathleen Burroughs was only 21 years old when she succumbed to squamous cell carcinoma that had invaded her neck and lungs. Her cancer diagnosis at age 19 was a tremendous shock, as the type of cancer she had is particularly rare in one so young. Typically, older men who smoked and drank for decades receive this devastating diagnosis. Abigail was an honor student and high school athlete, a confident yet humble person who was wise beyond her years, according to her family and friends. And she was compassionate, devoting much of her young life to charity work, making beds at homeless shelters and creating a free tutoring program for 50 families who couldn't afford tutors. Abigail had a great love of life and a deep respect for all beings. Not long after her diagnosis, the Burroughs family learned of an investigational cancer drug, Erbitux®, that showed good response in early trials. Abigail's prominent oncologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital believed the drug had a significant chance of saving her life. But every effort on the part of her family, physician, and supporters to procure the drug for Abigail failed. She was ineligible for a clinical trial and the drug company couldn't provide her with Erbitux® for compassionate use. The FDA was unmoved by her life-and-death situation. In November 2000, Abigail was recovering from a round of chemotherapy and radiation treatment when she said to father, Frank: "Dad, if I make it, I'd like you and I to devote our lives to helping people with cancer and other illnesses where there's an unmet need." After seven months of battling to acquire Erbitux® for Abigail, she died, her young life tragically cut short by an indifferent system that has cost an untold number of lives. Hours after she died, through his tremendous grief, Frank Burroughs realized that the inability of seriously ill patients to obtain effective drugs still under study was a critical unmet need. His daughter had wanted to help not only herself, but others like her, and Burroughs knew then that he had to continue fighting the system. Burroughs explained, "Hundreds of thousands of Americans die every year awaiting drug approval, a catastrophe of immense proportions. I said to myself, 'Why should I quit now? There are other people out there who are just as precious as Abigail.' She had planted the seed of an idea. She was the embodiment of the unmet need. But we certainly weren't the only ones." The Abigail Alliance: What You Need to Know Under the FDA's outdated system of drug approval, it can take years before beneficial drugs become available to seriously ill people. Every year, hundreds of thousands of patients with cancer and lifethreatening illnesses die while waiting for promising investigational drugs to receive approval. Abigail Burroughs was a young cancer victim who perished because she was not able to access an experimental cancer drug. After Abigail's death, her father Frank Burroughs formed the Abigail Alliance. The mission of the Abigail Alliance is to make potentially life-saving investigational therapies readily available to patients with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. One of the key objectives of the Abigail Alliance is to pass a bill that would allow seriously ill individuals to gain early access to promising investigational drugs that have not yet been approved by the FDA. The Alliance's other objectives include helping cancer patients to gain better access to experimental therapies such as Erbitux® and Nexavar®, promoting better awareness of clinical trials, and supporting efforts that would eliminate the use of placebos in clinical trials. After his daughter's death, Frank Burroughs formed a non-profit advocacy group, the Abigail Alliance for Better Access to Developmental Drugs. He gathered volunteers and supporters to raise awareness on Capitol Hill and in the general public of the issues surrounding compassionate use of developmental drugs, and to push for change in the FDA system that denies seriously ill patients access to possibly life-saving therapies. In its short six years of existence, the Alliance has gained favorable media coverage for these issues and has presented the heartbreaking stories of the patients behind them. With the help of the Washington Legal Foundation, the Alliance has shown that it won't be ignored by filing a Citizen Petition and even taking the FDA to court. Its practical solutions to fix a flawed and deadly system are contained in the proposed legislation, which could save countless lives. Drug Approval System Fails Patients in Need The problems inherent in the FDA clinical trial and drug approval system can be fully illustrated by looking at how it failed Abigail Burroughs and others, such as Jennifer McNellie, wife of Abigail Alliance co-founder Steve Walker. Jennifer was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 45 and ran out of treatment options after her first regimen. The couple, both scientists, did their own research and learned about several drugs under study that were found to be effective in trials. But they, too, discovered that the drugs were beyond their reach and that approvals could be years away. Jennifer McNellie died at age 47, another victim of the clinical trial system. Says Steve Walker: "I delved into the regulations, trying to figure out why the system wasn't working. As scientists, Jennifer and I both understood how the trials were being conducted. It didn't take us long to determine that the FDA is an ineffective agency. I lobbied senators and representatives, and I lobbied the FDA, which was completely non-responsive." The FDA's drug study and approval system is meant to protect patients, certainly, but shouldn't it also reap the benefits of billions of research dollars and years of drug development and testing by bringing medical progress to those who need it most? No seriously ill person should have to die merely because the FDA stamp of approval on a drug is years away. Yet that's exactly what is happening. The reason it's happening was a shock to Burroughs, Walker, and Abigail Alliance supporters. Legislation that the Abigail Alliance seeks to pass will: Allow seriously ill patients who have exhausted all other treatment options to receive developmental drugs outside of clinical trials. The drug company would provide the drug and control this process, and the medications could be provided as early as completion of Phase I trials, but only if there is compelling evidence for efficacy. Protect clinical trials by requiring patients to have exhausted approved treatment options for their disease, including clinical trials and expanded use programs, before acquiring a developmental drug under the Tier 1 Approval Program. Ban the use of placebo and no-treatment arms in trials involving seriously ill patients. Return some risk-benefit decisions to patients and their physicians, eliminating current law and policy that places risk-benefit decisions solely with the FDA. Remove cost disincentives that prevent small biotech firms who develop most innovative investigational drugs from participating in expanded use programs. Continued on Page 2 of 2

LOS ANGELES -- A Santa Cruz man assaulted at Dodger Stadium Thursday remained in a medically induced coma Sunday at a Los Angeles area hospital, a co-worker said.
Bryan Stow, 42, was wearing Giants attire when he and two friends were heckled by several Dodgers fans while walking from the stadium to the parking lot after season opener between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles police said.
Two men approached from behind and struck Stow, who fell to the pavement, police said. The assailants kicked him and then ran to a four-door sedan driven by a woman, police said. A boy also was in the car.
Stow is a father of two who works as a paramedic for American Medical Response in Santa Clara County.
His paramedic partner, Rebecca Mackowiak of San Jose, said she heard Sunday there had been no change in Stow's condition.
"It's a waiting game," she said. "We have to wait until the swelling goes down in his brain. It looks like it will be a while until that happens."
Police released sketches of the suspects late Friday. They are described as two Latino men ages 18 to 25 years old. Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to their arrest.
LAPD detective Jose Carrillo said investigators are still tracking down leads and have gotten some great help from witnesses.
"Unfortunately, it's not like CSI, it takes time," he said.
Stow's work friends who were with him Thursday are at the hospital, along with his girlfriend and family, she said.
His brother-in-law, Dave Collins of Scotts Valley, said Friday that Stow's parents live in Capitola.
Mackowiak set up a bank account for donations to help Stow at CommonWealth Credit Union, Account No. 118881. Call 408-531-3100. Donations can be made at any bank listed at www.cuswirl.com, under account No. 118881, or by visiting PayPal: email@example.com.
Police ask anyone with information on the crime to call 213-847-4261 or the anonymous tip line at 1-800-222-TIPS.

SATURDAY, April 2 (HealthDay News) -- Men taking antidepressants
may be at risk for atherosclerosis, which can increase the risk of
a heart attack or stroke, a small, preliminary study suggests.
Antidepressants were associated with about a 5 percent increase
in the thickness of the large artery in the neck called the carotid
artery, which carries blood to the brain, the researchers from
Emory University found.
Yet experts not involved with the study noted that it did not
prove a cause-and-effect relationship between antidepressant use
and heart trouble, and added that depression itself can increase
the risk of cardiovascular problems.
"Antidepressant medications may decrease cardiovascular risk by treating depression," said Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Since the new findings are very preliminary, Fonarow said,
"Patients should not be concerned or stop taking antidepressant
medications on the basis of this study."
Results of the research were scheduled to be presented Saturday
at the American College of Cardiology's annual scientific session,
in New Orleans. Experts note that studies presented at medical
conferences do not undergo the same vetting as research published
in peer-reviewed journals. The study was funded by the U.S.
National Institutes of Health.
For the study, a team led by Dr. Amit Shah, a cardiology fellow
at Emory, collected data on 513 middle-aged male twins who were
part of the Vietnam Era Twin Registry. Sixteen percent of the men
were taking antidepressants, and of these, 60 percent were taking
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as Prozac,
Lexapro and Zoloft. The others were taking older
To try to isolate the effect of antidepressants on blood
vessels, the researchers measured the thickness of the carotid
artery -- called carotid intima-media thickness. The study authors
found that a twin taking an antidepressant had a greater
intima-media thickness than a brother not taking the drugs.
The finding held true, regardless of the antidepressant taken,
the researchers said.
"There is a clear association between increased intima-media thickness and taking an antidepressant, and this trend is even stronger when we look at people who are on these medications and are more depressed," Shah said in a news release from the American College of Cardiology.
"Because we didn't see an association between depression itself and a thickening of the carotid artery, it strengthens the argument that it is more likely the antidepressants than the actual depression that could be behind the association," he added.
The findings also held true after compensating for such factors
as age, diabetes, blood pressure, current or previous smoking,
cholesterol and weight. Other factors weighed included depressive
symptoms, history of major depression and heart disease, alcohol
and coffee use, statin use, physical activity, education and
employment, the researchers said.
Since each additional year of life is associated with a small
increase in intima-media thickness, a brother taking
antidepressants is physically 4 years older than the brother not
taking antidepressants, Shah's team contended. They also said that
even a small increase in intima-media thickness can increase the
risk of a heart attack or stroke by 1.8 percent.
It's not clear why there might be an association between
antidepressant use and heart disease, the study authors noted.
These drugs increase levels of the brain chemicals serotonin and
norepinephrine, which are often low in depressed individuals.
Shah said increased levels of these chemicals may cause blood
vessels to tighten, and this may lead to reduced blood flow to
organs and higher blood pressure, which is a risk factor for
Commenting on the study, Dr. Dominique L. Musselman, an
associate professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of
Miami Miller School of Medicine, underscored that the findings show
an association between antidepressant use and atherosclerosis, but
not a cause-and-effect relationship.
"This finding is somewhat counterintuitive since it is well known that SSRIs enhance a tendency to bleed," she said, adding that more rigorous studies are needed to see if a cause-and-effect relationship exists.
Musselman also strongly advises patients not to stop taking
antidepressants based on this study. Not treating depression can
have serious consequences for quality of life, survival after a
heart attack or other cardiovascular events, she said.
"This is an important finding that needs to be replicated," she added.

Alex I'm not yelling at you but for someone who claims to be an analyst that is pretty much the definition of a straw man argument. The straight truth is in the grand scheme very few people have mac desktops/laptops. Somewhere between 6-10% depending on where you get your information. Assuming that the same percentage of pc users play MMOs as Mac users you would only be growing your player base by 6-10% by adding MAC compatibility. Would the extra cost be made up in MAC subscribers? Possibly, however, if you use the same amount of money in game improvements and marketing you would probably have a much higher ROI.

Zayn mimicking Louis' step in Best Song Ever x
University AU???
Have you ever listened to One Direction singing live in a studio? No background noises, no crowd… but just their own voices? Well, One Direction performed What Makes You Beautiful, Story of My Life, and Best Song Ever live in a studio in Japan. Here is the result…
Liam: Niall's just present in everyone's life.
Louis: Niall's just a present in everyone's life.
i think everybody's worried about liam these days and that makes me sad :(
i think liam has officially lost his title as the responsible one between the cigarettes and the roof climbing, we should probably give harry the title i mean he can barely walk properly he isn't going to do anything dangerous
i'm starting to worry about liam like he does stupid things with these 'new' friends and this is not good
ugh same
i mean i know it's his life and he can do whatever he wants… but sometimes i just wanna stop him and say, "go home liam. your family misses you."

Age Allowed to Get Married Without Parental Consent
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
Teenagers will find it difficult to get married without parental consent. This is because the law defines an "age of majority," which allows a person to enter into a legally binding contract. Marriage is a contract. Before this age, the law considers a person too immature to be able to keep their promises.
Most states require fiancées and fiancés to be 18 years old to get married without parental consent. Nebraska sets the age at 19, and Mississippi at 21.
States generally prohibit marriage of partners under the age of 16 (15-17), with or without parental consent. However, many states let the judge allow a marriage between parties under the age of 16 if the woman is pregnant or already gave birth to a baby.
It is important to note, however, that parental consent must generally comes first before courts grant permission to marry. The law gives parents and legal guardians the ultimate responsibility to protect and raise a child until the age of majority. Therefore, if parents do not wish the child to marry under 18, even if pregnant, there is not much a judge can do about it.
It is important to distinguish between the age of majority for purposes of signing a marriage contract with the age of consent needed to engage in sexual relations. Generally, the age of consent for sex is lower, around 16, than the age of majority, which is usually 18. Conflictingly, even in those states where the age of consent for sex is 18, marriage under 18 will generally be allowed with parental consent.

can any body tell me a free downloadable software to modify or crop a raw image? where can i found it?
What camera do you use?bsite free of charge
If it's a Canon, you can use DPP, which you can download from their website
Just be careful of your use of any online services such as Picasa. You may be giving them then right to sell your work to someone else.
I would guess that if you merely use the software and keep things on your own machine, you should be safe.
From their terms of service...

By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

If your using a Nikon....I see your last upload was taken with a D300..!
You could try using the " Nikon ViewNX " software that was supplied with the camera, Its certainly a safer bet than Picasa.
Apart from being capable of doing the jobs you mention, It also provides you with access to " Picture Control " functions that are only available via a Nikon Software....!
TIP! Even if you do have a copy of Nikon ViewNX on disc, You would be wise to download ( Free From Nikon ) a copy of the latest version of ViewNX, It has had a number of improvements added since the discs where shipped on disc......
There is nothing wrong with using Picasa to view raw files and it doesn't do a bad job of basic raw conversion either. Certainly a good way to go if you are not sure about whether you want to use raw. I haven't used recent versions of ViewNX but at one time you had to pay for it.
The only time you run the risk of relinquishing copyright is if you publish the images to a Google web album and that isn't something you can do by accident (well not easily anyway).

Hairstyles for Medium Curly Hair 2015 and 2014
Hairstyles for medium curly hair are versatile. They can be picked for women who want to attend either formal or non-formal occasion. Therefore, many women cut out their hair to have medium hair. In order to make this medium hairstyle more stylish, they have to give small touch for some parts of their medium hair.
Layers have a lot of benefits for both face and curly hair. The existence of layers for the curly hair will remove the bulk effectively. At the same time, the layers enhance the curl as well. Volume on the side is provided. For their face, the layer has a role as a frame of the face. In short, layers will make the short curly hair more than ordinary.
Bob might be closely related to short hair. However, it is surprising that a mid-length bob hairstyle is lovely for the curly hair. In general, this bob hairstyle for medium curly hair will make their hair slightly messy. It is sleek and casual. In this case, there is one thing that they have to obey. They shouldn't cut too short since too short hair will make their hair look poofy. If their hair is naturally curly, they can add layers extensively right in the back of their hair. As the result, the hair in the back is shorter than the hair in the front.
When they have decided to have medium hairstyle, it is good to make it wavy. They can pair their wavy hair with fringe. Textured fringe bangs need to go straight across their forehead. This straight bang will be contrasted to their wavy hair. Besides, they also can pair the wavy with bob. Usually, the length of this hair is around the mid-neck, touching their shoulders. This is easy to create and maintain as well.

DEXTER, Mo. – Eleven rural hospitals throughout Missouri will soon be able to provide improved telemedicine care for their patients, thanks to $262,000 in grants from the MoBroadbandNow initiative announced today by Gov. Jay Nixon. The Governor made the announcement in Dexter at Missouri Southern Healthcare, one of the recipients of a Rural Hospital Broadband Connection grant, where he was joined by local healthcare leaders and by officials from the MoBroadbandNow program.
"One of the very real benefits of improved broadband service in rural Missouri is in telemedicine – connecting Missourians and their physicians with specialists many miles away who can look at high-resolution images and receive other vital information on a real-time basis to help doctors treat those patients," Gov. Nixon said. "Expanded broadband accessibility between healthcare providers will mean access to quicker and more specialized care that is often life-saving for patients."
Missouri Southern Healthcare, formerly known as Dexter Memorial Hospital, is a 50-patient bed acute care hospital with six rural health clinics. The hospital is receiving a grant of up to $25,000 to help increase broadband speed throughout its healthcare system and to expand its connectivity with the clinics. The current broadband speed of 1.5Mbps will improve to 10Mbps, allowing for improved telemedicine services, such as radiology imaging. Missouri Southern Healthcare will provide $5,000 in matching funds for the project.
"I commend Missouri Southern Healthcare and the other rural hospitals for their efforts to use these benefits as part of their healthcare missions," the Governor said. "We continue to see how MoBroadbandNow has benefited Missouri in healthcare, education, public safety and commerce, and will do so for decades to come."
In addition to the grant for the hospital in Dexter, Gov. Nixon also announced 10 other grants, including:

Bars, Baths and Beyond
by Michael Flanagan
If you are new to the Bay Area, you could be excused for thinking of the area between San Francisco and Mountain View as a nightlife free zone – at least as far as LGBT nightlife goes. But it has not always been this way. In fact, between 1970 and early last decade there were both gay and lesbian bars, show bars and bath houses in San Mateo County.
By the time the Bay Area Reporter began publishing in 1971, there were already two gay bars, the Bayou Lounge and Le Cabaret, one lesbian bar, the Bee Hive (jokingly referred to as the 'Beer Hive'), and a bath house (the homey-sounding Fred's Health Club) all in Redwood City. The bars were regularly featured in the column 'Peninsular Gossip' by Roger Thomas which ran in the B.A.R. that first year. And should you think these were quiet neighborhood bars, Le Cabaret was a three-floor dance and show bar and was already sponsoring VD clinics in the early '70s!
There were also two bars (the Garden and the Locker Room) and two bath houses (Bachelor Quarters and the Golden Door Sauna) which were billed in gay travel guides as being in Palo Alto. As I prepared this story, Peninsula friend asked, 'Where would there be room for a bath house in Palo Alto?'
It turns out there wasn't. They were a block outside of Palo Alto in East Palo Alto in a neighborhood called Whiskey Gulch. When the Four Seasons moved into East Palo Alto in 2006, the Los Angeles Times described the neighborhood as "a seedy strip of dive bars, liquor stores and run-down apartment buildings known for drug sales and gang violence." So. although the guides assured the reader that at least one of the bars was "very popular" it would seem that visiting them was definitely AYOR (At Your Own Risk).
In the 1980s, the Bayou Lounge changed names three times, first becoming the Answer and then Boomer's. Likewise, the Golden Door became the Tubs and the Locker Room changed names to reflect the neighborhood and became Whiskey Gulch. As the '80s progressed and AIDS took its toll, all three bath houses closed on the Peninsula. And in the early '80s, B. Street and its upstairs women's bar Sassy's opened in downtown San Mateo.
The '80s were an odd time for gay bars on the Peninsula. Boomer's, which had been a gay bar for two decades, abruptly decided to change direction and kicked out two men for dancing together in 1986 (an employee of the bar told the men "we don't do that shit here anymore") and were successfully sued for bias.
Also in '86 there was an incident of anti-gay harassment at B Street which had the bizarre outcome of barring the B.A.R. reporter that reported on it, Gerard Koskovich, as well as all people quoted in the article from the bar as the owner objected to the article. B Street seems to have gotten into the community spirit however, as their calendar and fliers show they were soon doing turkey raffles and other benefits for AIDS groups on the Peninsula.
The 1990s saw further changes, including the closing of B Street and the opening of the last gay bar in San Mateo County, Shooter's in Redwood City. It was a small neighborhood bar that lasted another decade.
Did real estate prices doom the bars? Did the internet cause people to stop going out to meet? Ultimately some questions will always remain. Will some inventive entrepreneur find a new way to reintroduce them to the area? Only time will tell.

On Impact Wrestling, the mystery investor was revealed, and it turned out to be none other than former WWE star MVP. He showed up in a suit on the entrance ramp at the end of the episode with Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards by his side. The segment signified a change in TNA.
After Royal Rumble 2014 went off the air, Batista got into it with a fan on his way back up the entrance ramp. He threatened to snap the person in half, before the rest of the WWE audience turned on him. Batista then added further fuel to the fire by mocking Daniel Bryan at the top of the rant.
Aside from working as a trainer, Nick Dinsmore is also making appearances for NXT as well. At a live event in Tampa this week, the former WWE star showed up in the ring to save Santa Claus and his diva helpers from an attack by Aiden English.
Former WWE stars Eugene and Scotty 2 Hotty were both in attendance at the stand up comedy show by Mick Foley last night in Orlando.

Maybe It's Time to Start Listening to Tom Low
Charlotte has been called a "foreclosure hot spot" and one of the nation's worst gas-guzzling cities. Meanwhile, fuel prices continue to climb, single-family home sales continue to dip, and developers still exert undue influence over the planning process
(page 2 of 3)
Actually, new urbanism was already perking ears in Charlotte.
Around the same time that Low moved back to Charlotte, an urban design discussion group was forming. Warren Burgess, then a city planner for the city of Charlotte; Carole Hoefener and Robin Davis, both local architects; John Rogers from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission; and UNCC professor David Walters and his wife, Linda Luise Brown, then the art critic for Creative Loafing, started a monthly breakfast group for people interested in new urbanism and urban planning, called the Charlotte Urban Forum.
Mary Newsom, a former associate editor and columnist at The Charlotte Observer and a longtime follower of local urban planning issues, was also one of the forum's founding members. "They said, 'Let's just all get together, have breakfast, and talk about a new way of looking at cities.' They were very interested in new urbanism," she remembers. "Our mind-set was more of an education thing—why this is good design, why this is bad design."
Low was in the process of relocating to Charlotte, but attended many of the meetings. There was plenty for the group to talk about, too. During the late 1990s, while new skyscrapers and condos were re-forming uptown, a wave of development was sweeping North Mecklenburg towns.
"Belmont became a template for a lot of other towns who wanted to rewrite their zoning codes from suburban models to a code that focused on the physical form of a place," Low says. "It was a template and a confidence builder for Huntersville, Davidson, and Cornelius. It helped them become more proactive."
With new urbanism gaining momentum, Low, DPZ, and the Charlotte Urban Forum frequently found themselves at odds with Charlotte's most prominent developers.
In 1999, Huntersville advocated for a bill in the state Legislature for a pilot program called transfer of development rights (TDR). TDR is complicated—even Low admits he never warmed up to it because of its abstract nature. Essentially, it's a way for a developer to buy building rights from the owner of a patch of land and use those rights to build in a different, preapproved building zone. The idea is to preserve undeveloped land and shift growth toward the center of a city, halting sprawl.
Newsom says the bill failed to pass the N.C. House in large part because of homebuilder lobbying groups like the Real Estate and Building Industry Coalition (REBIC) and the North Carolina Home Builders Association.
"It would have been a voluntary pilot program," Newsom says. "Developers would have the option to do it … but they feared this would probably drive up the cost of land, their raw material … they just stuck a nail in that sucker's heart."
Bill Daleure was, at the time, the president of the land development division at Crosland, arguably Charlotte's most prominent real estate development company ("they developed most of the suburbia in Charlotte over the last fifty years," says Low). He was also active with both REBIC and the N.C. Home Builders Association, which he's now the president of.
"Whenever you say, 'I'm limiting the supply of land,' the cost automatically goes up," he says of Huntersville's TDR vision. "They could never get the legislation done without our support. … I don't remember anybody being miffed other than planners that didn't get their way."
A few years before that, incidentally, DPZ and Crosland briefly joined forces (a "shotgun marriage" as Low calls it), to develop an area of Davidson. The space between downtown Davidson and Lake Davidson was made up of old factories and open land, and the town decided to develop it. Crosland created a gated subdivision, and DPZ was hired to plan a more traditional neighborhood, which Crosland helped build.
"It turned out really successful," says Low. "Crosland said it worked, but that they made more money doing sprawl."
"It was a really tight urban design with rear-loaded garages and alleys," says Daleure, who's now president of Avant Garde Real Estate Consulting. "That's 99 percent of what Tom does. We did the design, and it went OK, but it was on Lake Davidson, and the waterfront was a huge plus [for home sales]. And we learned an awful lot about cost." Daleure says Crosland had to price homes 25 percent higher than it would have for a traditional suburb, mainly because of design challenges and costs.
The head butting and mudslinging between planners and developers continued like this for nearly five years, Low recalls. Editorials in the Observer criticized the development community. Everyone was on the defensive. And in spite of planning successes in Belmont, Davidson, and even Charlotte neighborhoods like Plaza Midwood and Myers Park, the region was, as Low says, "basically on sprawl autopilot until 2008" when the economy crashed.
In 1999, Hoefener died. Soon thereafter, Burgess left Charlotte to become the town planner in Davidson (he died in 2008). The Charlotte Urban Forum fizzled. Low says the group was exhausted and burned out.
It seemed to Low that the debate between new urbanism enthusiasts and the development community had stagnated in Charlotte. But while the city's suburban landscape continued its slow crawl outward, Low ("full of missionary zeal," as Newsom says) couldn't stand by in silence.
Low and Newsom agree on this: in the past ten years, there's been a shift in the housing market that's significantly changing the way some cities are planning their development. It's not just the economy. The coming-of-age Generation Y is seeking out city living, and the boomers are moving out of single-family homes into apartments or even their children's homes.
"It's the larger zeitgeist of what people want," says Newsom. "There'll be a market [for single-family houses], but it won't grow nearly as fast. The growth in the market is going to be in multifamily housing."
"The trend for the twenty-first century and the new economy," says Low, "will be aging baby boomers and the millennial population … [being] interested in moving out of suburbia and into more connected communities."
But even though "the pendulum has swung back," Low says, he's always been doubtful of trusting the building-and-development industry to change itself. Developers are still too content to carve out more suburban sprawl, he says, and defend it as being what the market wants, or as the best way to provide affordable housing.
"The development industry just never really changed their way of doing things," he says. "But they're going to have to change."
So in 2004 he launched Civic By Design, which he hoped would give the design community a stronger voice in what he says has always been a "developer-driven town."
Over the past seven years, CBD has met regularly at Levine Museum of the New South. Attendance varies from three- to five-dozen. They hear speakers invited by Low and discuss initiatives like Civilizing Places, a proposal to design twenty projects in twenty months—a streetcar on Independence Boulevard, for instance, or helping South End's Community School for Girls turn its parking lot into a community garden. Low has an email list of close to 3,500, to which he sends the latest studies or articles on cities and communities, and information on upcoming forum discussions and workshops.
For the most part, the discussion forum has remained just that—a place for planners, architects, and anyone interested in urban design to come and talk about ideas for how to make Charlotte neighborhoods more connected. Some of the ideas have been picked up and put into action—the Community School for Girls' garden, for instance. Most, however, fail to gain traction right away, like Low's pitch to Charlotte Center City Partners to transform Trade and Tryon into a pedestrian-friendly plaza.
Debra Campbell, the director of city planning for six years since 2005, has been invited as a speaker to the forums. The planning staff, she says, "attends as many as possible.
"The tenets of new urbanism are just the tenets of what most planners learned in planning school. It's just good planning," she says. "But again, when you're planning an entire community, it's challenging, because you have an already-built environment. … Although there is a lot of opposition to the concept of suburbs, they still offer a viable housing option for people who choose that lifestyle. … [For some people] that's their home. We're to say they've made a bad choice for living in the place they're living now?"
Daleure insists that buyers will still steer development.
"You have to develop neighborhoods for all kinds of people," he says. "High-end, low-end, gated, urban communities … the market will tell you what's necessary, not the planners."
Low remains as he was in the mid-1990s: frustrated by what he sees as lingering short-sightedness, but determined to make local leaders and stakeholders at least listen to, if not immediately build, some of his many ideas.
Low is driving through Myers Park, the neighborhood designed by John Nolen that is also home to his office. Slowing to fifteen miles an hour on Kings Drive, Low points to the newest section of the Little Sugar Creek Greenway. It was, he says matter-of-factly, originally conceived by Nolen a century ago. He points out how beautiful it will be when the oak trees lining the path have grown, and how there ought to be crosswalks across Kings Drive to make it more accessible to neighborhoods across the street.
"Good ideas don't die," he says. "Sometimes they just take longer to implement. That's the way I'm thinking about what we do … that's what planners do. We're not quick-fix artists. We take the twenty-five-, to fifty-, to 100-year view. But if we don't plant the seed at some point, it'll never happen."

The World Celebrates Earth Day
Are you participating in any Earth Day activities today? Share photos of how you're helping to raise awareness with the Earth Day Network's #faceofclimate hashtag.
Today, billions of people around the world observe Earth Day, a holiday set aside to celebrate the planet and raise awareness and support for environmental protection. Earth Day first began in 1970 after a United States senator called for a nation-wide day of environmental education after seeing the damages from an oil spill the year before. Over 20 million Americans participated in the first Earth Day, and since then it has become a United Nations official holiday with communities participating from nearly 200 countries.
This year the Earth Day Network is emphasizing the positive side of climate change—those working to change it for the better—by asking people to share photos of themselves on Earth Day with the #faceofclimate hashtag and tell the stories of how they're helping protect the environment.

Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
Win7 + Lineage2 + Winamp
I am playing www.lineage2.com mmorpg and trying to listen to Winamp music at the same time on my new Dell Windows 7 64-bit home premium. The model number of this computer is XPS/Dimension 8300.
Winamp works just fine by itself, but when I start up Lineage2 I get sound distortion. It happens mostly when I move my character, but not exclusively. When this sound distortion happens the game slows down or glitches a bit. Once or twice it started to glitch so bad that my whole computer froze up and I had to turn off power and reboot it. It seems to me that there might be a problem with how Lineage2 utilizes memory because once I rebooted the computer (or cleared the memory) it seemed to work again. Still glitching, but not slowing down the whole system.
I tried to run in Windows XP compatibility mode and run it as administrator but that did not help. I also tried adjusting my sounds settings. I lowered my volume sliders on my sound devices to 75% so it would limit distortion in case there was too much "power" going out of my computer and my speakers would be not able to handle that, but that did not help at all. I was not able to change priority of the Lineage2 application. I increased priority of Winamp to High (from Normal) but that did not change anything. I have upgraded ALL of my drivers, except for network card driver because it is a manual update and I don't want to loose Internet access just yet. This is my first Windows 7 computer so I don't want to mess it up just yet. I did install Ubuntu Linux on it ( just in case this makes a difference, and I am dual booting with Windows 7).
I have Service pack 1 for Win 7.
If anyone has any idea of what I can try I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you

I see some tanks whining about tanking multiple mobs in H-HOR.
This instance is not hard at all, I have Tanked / Healed / DPS'd it without any failures. If you are failing you are part of the problem. The DPS's job is to kill everything as fast as possible so that the healer doesn't go OOM and while they might have a responsibility to keep their threat in check on raids they shouldn't have to worry about it in these 5 mans.
Mark your initial target and build some threat on it then move to the next one, Tab - Tab - Taunt - Repeat and if a mob gets away from you taunt it back, after all that is your job is it not?
This is really very trivial but perhaps the fact that some of these tanks dont overgear the content that they are running is starting to show?

Saying Falun Gong is a spritual movement is like saying the Al Qaeda is a group peaceful resistance fighters.
The attacker may not be CIA, but is almost certainly supported by CIA.
"Falun Gong, a spiritual movement", you nuts?
I believe it's a big Bug in Great Fire Wall
no hacker has the ability to cause such a mess.
Only something like GFW can.
Down with USA, biggest terrorist and trouble maker in the world
如果法轮功是spritual movement , 你可以说基地组织是a group peaceful resistance fighters.
Maybe time for the Chinese government to grow up and take down the firewall, and stop treating their citizens like children who can't think for themselves?
I really don't understand china at all..it's supposed to communist, but has the 2nd most billionaires in the world? Can anybody explain that one!

It looks as though March has come in like a lamb but it sure is staying cold. How quickly I have become soft to the cold after working out on the water all my life. How quickly we change.
I'd like to take a minute of your time and call attention to our 87th annual meeting. This year, the Chamber board decided to return the event to the evening and to partner with the University of New England as our host. The event will be held on March 26th from 6-9:00 PM and will feature entertainment, great food, a cash bar, and a few prestigious awards. Cost of the event will be $30.00 per person or a table of eight (8) can be purchased for $220.00. The event space can hold 100 individuals so please reserve early by emailing email@example.com or calling 207-282-1567.
I have received a few questions and comments regarding our move to Water St in Biddeford. First and foremost, our emails and telephone numbers will remain unchanged. You can still find us on Facebook and Twitter as well. All that will change will be our mailing address. That will be 28-34 Water Street, Biddeford, ME 04005.
As for the somewhat negative comment about Water St being a "bad" neighborhood, let me tell you that I listened to the same thing growing up in Camp Ellis. No one wanted to live there either when my brother, sister and I were growing up but now people are purchasing homes for hundreds of thousands of dollars if not a million dollars and we contribute significantly to the property tax account.
The area around Water St has significant historic value. The landlord's association that was formed has brought accountability to the area and they have worked closely with the City of Biddeford to run natural gas lines to improve their energy efficiency. In fact, the owners of the building we are moving in to have installed two brand new natural gas furnaces to heat our space and the 12 apartments above us.
Often, it takes change, one step at a time to bring prosperity to neighborhoods once thought of as "bad." The Chamber will enhance one more building on Water St and join Lacava and the landlord's association to bring economic prosperity to one more neighborhood in our great cities. I refuse to be swayed by nay-sayers. I look forward to opening our office space and follow that with the opening of a Welcome Center. Estella, John, Mary Anne, Art, Debbie and I will be inviting everyone to stop by just as soon as we get settled.
Don't forget, when March comes in like a Lamb, it tends to go out like a Lion. I just hope it does so a little warmer and with more sunshine.
We wish you all great business success. Always choose a Chamber member first and we hope to see you at our events.

Trappers fall to Eastern Utah
NWC looks to rebound Friday, Saturday
Head coach Andy Ward and his Northwest College men's basketball team traveled and faced the College of Eastern Utah last Saturday and suffered an 83-67 setback.
According to Ward, the Trappers played well during the matchup in Price, Utah, and held a 36-33 advantage at halftime. However, an injury to standout freshman Casper Hesseldal hampered NWC's efforts in its quest for win No. 2 of the season.
"We lost Casper to an ankle injury with about nine minutes left in the game," Ward said. "When he left the game, he had 17 points. That took away one of our main scoring options."
Also adding to the Trappers' woes was the fact that leading rebounder Ricardo Bodra landed in foul trouble during the first half of the contest. In the end, Eastern Utah outrebounded the Trappers by a 38-30 margin.
"With Ricardo in foul trouble, it made it a lot harder for us to rebound against them," Ward said. "That, and losing Casper, really hurt us in the second half.
"I felt bad for the kids because they did a good job against a solid opponent. They played really well, particularly in the first half. They were rebounding well in the first half, and they did a lot better job of taking care of the ball.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to overcome some of the things that happened to us, and Eastern Utah was able to pull away from us toward the end."
Among the leaders for NWC last Saturday was Hesseldal, who finished as the Trappers' top point scorer (17) despite missing the final nine minutes of the game. He also had four assists and five rebounds. Hesseldal was followed by Bodra (11 points), Malcolm Colbert (10), Mitchell Ackelson (7), Jordan Harris (7), Julian Olubuyi (7), Cody Ball (5) and Anthony Harris (4).
• Up next: The Trappers, who dropped to 1-5 for the season, will attempt to rebound from last Saturday's loss when they host the First National Bank and Trust Shootout this week. The Trappers first game in that tournament will be Friday at 7:30 p.m. against North Dakota's Williston State College. On Saturday, NWC will face Northeastern Junior College from Sterling, Colo. That game also has a scheduled 7:30 p.m. start time.
Ward said the Trappers' opponents this week will continue a string of games against top-notch competition.
"Those are two good teams," Ward said. "We'll have to regroup, and we've got to be ready to play. We've faced a tough schedule starting out, but I believe it will pay off. Going into the game with Eastern Utah, we were averaging about 23 turnovers per game. We cut our turnovers to 16 Saturday, and we'll try to continue taking better care of the ball this week. We also need to keep our guys out of foul trouble. We'll keep working on things and the guys will get better. This is a young team, and I believe they'll be fine."
Unfortunately for NWC, the Trappers likely will be without Hesseldal during this week's tournament. Initial reports indicated that Hesseldal did not suffer a break in his ankle, but Ward said he wasn't sure when the 6-6 freshman from Aarhus, Denmark would be able to return to the Trappers' lineup.
New coach to lead Lady Panthers
Two new faces will be on the field for the Powell Panthers and Lady Panthers this spring when the soccer teams begin their seasons.
Brad Hammond will take over the Lady Panthers' program, replacing Kay Pomeroy, who resigned as head coach last spring.
On the boys field, Waleryan Wisniewski will join head coach Pat D'Alessandro's staff as the assistant coach. Wisniewski replaces Drew Jones.
Hammond, who also serves as registrar and admissions director at Northwest College, said he is looking forward to continuing his work with the Lady Panthers. Hammond served as the Lady Panthers' junior varsity head coach and a varsity assistant coach in the spring of 2008.
"I'm excited about it," Hammond said. "After Kay resigned, every time I bumped into one of the girls they would ask me if I was going to be the coach. I met with Jeff Jones (PHS activities director and assistant principal) about the position, and I felt good about it and decided to give it a try. It'll be interesting — that's for sure. We've got a lot of girls returning, but we also lost some key players. We're all wanting to build on that momentum we had late last season, and I think it will be a good year for us."
The two new coaches were approved Tuesday, Nov. 11, during the November meeting of the Park County District No. 1 school board.
Also approved was the hiring of Jerry Rodriguez as an assistant swim coach for Powell Middle School. The temporary position was created to accommodate the large number of swimmers working out with the Powell Middle School team.

Decision to not raise tuition the right one
Last week's announcement that the University of Wyoming doesn't plan to increase resident tuition for the upcoming academic year was good news to many Wyoming families.
UW currently is ranked in the top 1 percent of public institutions in terms of affordability of resident tuition — university officials should be commended for recognizing the importance of keeping tuition low.
With only one four-year college in the state, it's important that the school be accessible to the state's residents — and that a college education continue to be attainable. Low tuition, combined with the Hathaway Scholarship program, has made the dream of higher education a reality for an increasing number of Wyoming high school graduates.
The university's commitment to affordable education is paying off in higher enrollment numbers. In fact, this year's freshman class at UW is the largest ever — with more in-state students than usual, despite decreasing high-school enrollment numbers statewide.
State leaders' theory is that educating Wyoming students in Wyoming will pay off when graduates remain and build a life in Wyoming. During an economic time when the budgets of nearly all Wyoming families are feeling serious stress, holding firm to the commitment of affordable college education for our graduates is the right move.

Wyoming judge opens door for more Yellowstone snowmobiles
Just when Yellowstone's winter 2009 plans appeared set, a new court decision has muddied the waters.
In September, a District of Columbia judge scuttled Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks' long-term plans for winter use. Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled the parks' plans to allow 540 snowmobiles a day in Yellowstone and 65 in Grand Teton were not backed by science.
Saturday shooting by-product of bad blood
Police still searching for handgun
A Powell man has been charged with attempt to cause injury to another using a deadly weapon after he threatened another Powell man and then fired his handgun into the ground early Saturday night.
There apparently was bad blood between the two men and it boiled over, resulting in one shot being fired into the street, Sgt. Alan Kent of the Powell Police Department said Saturday.
According to a Park County Circuit Court affidavit, Franklin Lee Miller, 57, of Powell had an argument with Christopher Downey outside Downey's home on South Clark Street at around 5 p.m. Saturday. Miller pointed the gun at Downey's head, then pointed it at the ground and fired his weapon. The bullet ricocheted off the asphalt and struck Downey.
Panthers fall to Douglas

Heart-breaking loss in double-overtim contest
The Powell High School Panthers saw their season come to a dramatic close Saturday with a 28-27, double-overtime loss to the Douglas Bearcats in the semifinal round of the Class 4A football playoffs.
Douglas running back Cody Bohlander provided the winning margin with a successful two-point conversion run at the end of the second overtime. Bohlander's game-winning conversion jaunt was set up by a Panther penalty on the extra-point attempt following his 3-yard touchdown run that left Douglas behind 27-26.
Trapper wrestling season begins
Harris among NWC top placers
A trio of Northwest College wrestlers notched placing efforts as the Trappers officially kicked off the 2008-09 season waith the annual NWC Open last Saturday at Hank Cabre Gymnasium in Powell.
Leading the charge for the Trappers was freshman and heavyweight entry Landon Harris, who cruised to a 4-0 record during the event. Harris opened with decisions over the University of Great Falls' Garrett Johnson and Matt Schnittgen. He then pinned Evan Mattingly, an unattached wrestler from Montana State University-Northern, and defeated UGF's Brad Fraser by an 11-5 score in the championship bout.
Others placing for the Trappers were freshmen Saul Guerrero (133) and Mak Jones (197). Guerrero went 2-1 Saturday. His first victory, an 11-2 major decision, came against DJ Skelton, an unattached wrestler from MSU-Northern. He followed with a 6-0 decision over another unattached wrestler, UGF's Ryan Leonard, to earn a spot in the title bout against MSU-Northern's Colt Hager. Hager defeated Guerrero 4-3 to claim the title at 133.
Jones, a 2008 graduate of Powell High School, began his Trapper wrestling career in style by finishing fourth in the 197-pound weight class. In his first bout of the day, Jones claimed a 12-4 victory over Western Wyoming Community College's Mike Malone. He followed with a 6-2 decision over UGF's Will Wine before suffering an 8-3 loss to the University of Wyoming's Alfonso Hernandez. Hernandez went on to win the weight class.
Jones, following his first loss, defeated UGF's Jimmy Martin 8-1. That set up a bout for third place with UGF's Scott Lucas, and Lucas escaped with an 8-6 decision.
"Those guys who placed wrestled really well," said NWC head coach Jim Zeigler. "As a team, I think the guys did a good job Saturday, particularly after their first matches. We've got a lot of young guys, but once they got past those first matches, they settled in and did a solid job. It was a good way for us to start the season."
Zeigler also said McCade Ford (141), Corey Woodruff (157) and Luis Carranza (133) enjoyed solid performances and each came one bout short of placing.
Also among the highlights of the tournament was the participation of the University of Wyoming's squad. The majority of the Cowboys' team made the trip to Powell, and UW walked away with seven champions, four runner-up spots, three third-place finishers and two fourth-place efforts during Mark Branch's debut as head coach.
"It was a busy day and the guys wrestled a lot of matches," Branch said. "That is what we wanted. It was good for us as a coaching staff to evaluate, and it was good for the guys to get a feel for where they are at.
"Overall I was pleased. Our team actually matched up against each other quite a bit and there were a lot of good things out there, but there are also plenty of things we need to improve on."
Among UW's first-place finishers was senior Eric Coxbill at 165. Coxbill, a former NWC wrestler from Wright, is in his second season with the Cowboys. Last year he led UW in victories with 26 and finished second in the West Regional Tournament.
"It was a big deal for them to be here," Zeigler said. "They brought quite a few fans. In fact, we had a lot more visiting fans than we've ever had for this tournament. We had a big crowd all day long, and we got a lot of support from the wrestling community here in Powell."
Though an attendance count was not made Saturday, Zeigler said this year's NWC Open clearly was a record-setter.
"The turnout for this one was far better than anything we've seen before," Zeigler said. "With UW taking part in it, it was almost like we had two home teams, and that really helped us bring in more people."
• Up next: The Trappers will be in action again tonight (Thursday) at Hank Cabre Gymnasium against MSU-Northern. Start time for the event is slated for 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Trappers will be in Laramie for UW's Cowboy Open.

Daily in Your Presence - April 19
Day 110
For Christ,
our Passover lamb,
has been sacrificed.
1 CORINTHIANS 5:7Psalms 115:15
My child, whenever I passed over the homes and saw the blood on the doorposts of My people so long ago, I did that with you in mind, as well. Whenever the priests offered a lamb as a sacrifice for sin, I was thinking of you. And when I became the Passover lamb Myself, spilling My life's blood for your sin, I did it for you - a permanent sacrifice that would erase sin forever in your heart. Enjoy My forgiveness, Child.
Like the passover lambs, whose blood was once sprinkled on the doorposts of Your people to avert the death angel's hand, Your blood sprinkled the doorposts of my heart and became the living sacrifice so I could live. What love You gave, Lord.
If God hadn't "passed over," we would have gone "down under."/blockquote>

Sena SMH10 Dual Intercom, £329.99
Time tested: 1600 miles
What's good? Being able to talk to pillions or other riders while on the move can be very handy, but some of the systems that allow it are anything but convenient. I've had no such problems with this Sena system, which allows wireless communication with pillions and other riders, can connect to a phone for calls or to play music or to a GPS for voice navigation instructions. I've used it for all except the sat-nav instructions and found it easy to use and to provide clear audio. It was easy to fit into a helmet, though the shell does have recesses for the speakers, and easy to set up and use. The battery also lasts for a long day in the saddle and charges up in under three hours through the same micro USB port found on most phones, so you only need to carry one charger.
What's not? Other than the general issue of potential distractions from the business of - and pleasure in - riding a motorcycle I have few complaints as it's only above 85mph that the audio starts to become muffled by wind noise.
