The Greater Toronto Area is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. Over a decade ago Markham Council recognized the potential pressures growth would have on the Town. Council also recognized that suburban sprawl has enormous impact on land consumption, the environment, infrastructure requirements and traffic congestion. Markham will continue to have growth pressures; however the Town has adopted positive policies to manage and control growth by limiting outward expansion and intensifying development within the Town's existing boundaries.
Development applications involve extensive public review. Applications are circulated to a variety of agencies and other authorities. In the case of applications within Markham Centre, the City of Markham established the Markham Centre Advisory in 2002 to supply additional perspective and comment on development applications and other Markham Centre initiatives. The City also seeks public input through one or more public meetings and has implemented enhanced notice procedures for formal public meetings on development proposals.
The Markham Centre Advisory is made up of representatives from residential, business and educational sectors in Markham, as well as York Region and various environmental committees. They have assisted in formulating Performance Measures to help evaluate proposals in Markham Centre from an environmental sustainability and community building perspective. The City endorsed the Performance Measures which considers key performance criteria related to Greenlands, Built Form, Green Infrastructure, Public Spaces and Transportation, and they now form part of OPA 21. The Performance Measures were up-dated to identify correlations to available Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (L.E.E.D.) credits. The Markham Centre Advisory Group meets once a month. For more information: www.markhamcentre.com.
Yes, Markham Centre is based on the principles of sustainable growth often referred to as "Smart Growth". What this means for Markham, as an urban municipality within the GTA, is that as we continue to grow, we will develop in a way that:
This approach is endorsed and encouraged by all three levels of government as a desirable alternative to costly low-density residential sprawl.
Building a new downtown requires a long-term financial commitment to investing in infrastructure. While private development will pay its fair share, government will need to participate in the delivery of high quality parks and public spaces, rapid transit, parking structures and other facilities that are critical to achieving the Markham Centre vision.
Reliance on the automobile for commuting and local trips will always be part of our community. Building Markham Centre as a compact mixed-use community will permit us to rely less on the car by providing the means and density to support rapid transit, and providing people with more choices to live and work in the same location and walk or cycle to and from the downtown area or to local services.
GO Transit are undertaking structural improvements in support of additional train service along the existing Markham-Stouffville line.
Highway 7 is planned to evolve into an urban boulevard, including sidewalks and street trees. This urbanization will create a balance between a safe pedestrian environment, accommodating rapid transit, and improving east-west vehicular movement across the City. The Highway 7 Precinct Plan Study will further articulate the vision for Highway 7, including establishing built form guidelines for development which will ensure an appropriate transition to the neighbouring community.
Our traffic problems today are not specific to Markham, but occur across the GTA which results from years of new residential growth, with almost exclusive reliance on the automobile to reach decentralized employment and service locations. Markham Centre provides the opportunity to change the way we did things in the past and deliver our sustainable mixed-use transit-support vision for the future. Markham Centre forms the catalyst for building new road connections, providing rapid-transit facilities, creating new opportunities to live, work and play in the same community, and supporting less reliance on the automobile as the primary mode of transportation.
Markham Centre is unique; it is being developed around the philosophy of New Urbanism and sustainable growth. When complete, Markham Centre will not only be a pedestrian and transit-friendly destination for cultural activities, shopping, and employment, but also a distinct community integrated with nature.
Markham Centre already houses a number of key buildings and developments, including the Markham Civic Centre, Bill Crothers High School, the Markham YMCA – Rudy Bratty Centre, Hilton Suites Hotel & Convention Centre, Motorola, Honeywell and IBM. However, many more developments are being planned. The Remington Group has commenced construction on the 243-acre, downtown core of Markham Centre, with their first residential projects already occupied. The projected build-out of Markham Centre could continue over the next 20 years.
Council recognizes that development is a positive sign of economic vitality and can increase quality of life for local and regional residents by providing additional live, work and play opportunities. The City is taking a proactive approach in controlling development by following the principles of Smart Growth:
The City has also embarked on a comprehensive Growth Strategy to guide and direct much of the City's future growth to identified centres and transit-supportive locations throughout the City. This strategy establishes the basis for the City's continued growth through to 2031.
There will be approximately 20,000 new housing units built within Markham Centre. The plan contemplates a diverse range of housing, including seniors, singles and young families, primarily in a high density context.
Every effort is being made to manage parking and traffic impacts in order to maintain a high quality of life in Markham Centre and for the neighbouring communities. Highway 7 will be transformed into a major urban boulevard, and traffic will be directed throughout Markham Centre by a carefully planned grid of streets. Plans are in place to monitor intersections along Highway 7 to ensure traffic impacts on neighbouring communities are minimized.
The City of Markham anticipates an increase in population to approximately 370,300 persons by 2021. Managing the successful implementation of Markham Centre is a very important component of our growth strategy.
The Markham Centre Secondary Plan established the framework for a mixed-use, residential, employment centre within the heart of Markham. When this plan was adopted, boundaries were established for limited urban expansion of the City's urban boundary and policies were put in place to protect the rural, agricultural and environmental lands within Markham. About 192 acres of open space are protected within Markham Centre.
The City has recently undertaken a growth planning program aimed at accommodating the majority of projected growth through to 2031 within the City's existing urban boundaries. Much of this growth is intended to be accommodated along transit corridors and in Regional Centres such as Markham Centre.
We value your contribution to the decision-making process. The Markham Centre Advisory, made up of community representatives from across the City, was established in 2002 to provide us with feedback and information. We continue to solicit input from the Advisory, residents and businesses through various open houses, newsletters and the Markham Centre website www.markhamcentre.com.
Rapid transit is a key element of the Markham Centre vision. The planning for Markham Centre is intended to create the concentration of residents and employees needed to help sustain higher order public transit.
VIVA, with support from the Regional, Provincial and Federal governments, is a comprehensive rapid transit network for York Region. This network is being developed in stages, with the most heavily travelled locations built first. Phase 1 of the dedicated bus rapidways is under construction in Markham Centre.
We are estimating that Markham Centre will eventually be home to about 39,000 jobs. We expect businesses to be attracted to Markham Centre by the exciting mix of offices, shops, schools, housing and proximity to transit facilities to provide new employment opportunities.
While development of Markham Centre will be transit supportive, Markham Centre does not ignore the need for parking. Parking spaces are intended to be provided for every residential unit, generally in below grade structures. Commercial buildings will have adequate parking space for building tenants. Our parking strategy contemplates reducing available parking over time upon delivery of transit infrastructure and increased modal split. Paid parking is being introduced on key streets in Markham Centre and consideration is being given to the creation of a parking authority to help stimulate revenue sources to build parking structures and ensure valuable land is not consumed by parking lots.
Environmental protection has been one of the most important values in the development of the Markham Centre vision. Representatives of various environmental groups are members of the Markham Centre Advisory Group that has been assembled to provide feedback to the project development team and to help articulate the values and interests of our community, including environmental concerns. We value our environment which is reflected in the Guiding Development Principles for Markham Centre and our Performance Measures Document.
Markham Centre will be a milestone in the development and shaping of Markham, and the City has taken great lengths to consult the public, as well as in ensuring a high degree of protection of the natural environment. There are several planning policies in place and regulatory agencies that protect the integrity of the Rouge River in Markham Centre. The City has completed a Greenlands plan to guide future use and restoration of the valley system and to ensure that future development respects, protects and enhances the existing river valley. In addition, the Official Plan provides for the protection of the valley lands, and City Council endorsed the Rouge North Management Plan, a report that sets management and development criteria regarding the Rouge River north of Steeles Avenue.
All great cities have a central destination for social and cultural activities. While the City has dynamic historical locations, these areas must be preserved for their heritage significance. City-wide surveys from local residents have previously identified the need for a 'downtown' area. Markham Centre is an opportunity to provide a centrally located, vibrant, and mixed-use, transit supportive City Centre.
The vision for Markham Centre originated in the early 1990's when the City undertook a series of design workshops and held extensive public consultation meetings to develop the Master Plan. Ultimately, that plan was incorporated into a Secondary Plan, called Official Plan Amendment 21 (OPA 21).
Secondary Plan is a planning document that sets out the planning policies for an area and provides guidance for its physical development while taking into account social, economic and environmental matters.
Official Plan Amendment 21 sets out the City's vision and policies to guide the development of Markham Centre. The City is reviewing the policies within the Markham Centre Secondary Plan to reflect the City's current growth strategy to ensure that the timing of development and associated built-form implement the City's vision for Markham Centre and coincide with available transit and other infrastructure.
The Ontario Municipal Board approved Official Plan Amendment 21 on July 7, 1997. This means that the policies contained in that plan are in full force and effect. All development proposals will be reviewed to ensure they are consistent with the Official Plan policies.
Markham Centre will not be built overnight. Depending on the market, Markham Centre could take 20 or more years to complete. It will be phased to ensure that the construction of roads and services, parks, schools, transit, and community infrastructure keeps pace with office, retail and residential development.
The City of Markham continues to update the City website and also has a dedicated Markham Centre website www.markhamcentre.com. The City publishes newsletters, holds public information meetings, and provides material in the Markham Economist and Sun. If you would like a personal mailing of updates for Markham Centre, contact the City of Markham Clerks Department, and your name will be placed on a future mailing list. The City also has an active communication plan to keep the residents in Markham informed about Markham Centre, including expanded notice procedures for development applications.
IBM, Motorola, Honeywell, the Hilton Suites, Markham Theatre and the Civic Centre, the Markham YMCA – Rudy Bratty Centre and the Bill Crothers High School are some of the major developments and landmarks in Markham Centre today. Some other projects include:

EU officials have begun work on a plan to create a long-term budget without the UK in a move that reflects mounting frustration that Britain's demand for a spending freeze cannot be reconciled with the rest of the bloc.
Both EU officials and national diplomats have been studying the legal and technical feasibility of devising such a budget, according to people familiar with the discussions, ahead of a two-day summit beginning on Thursday in Brussels, where the EU's 27 heads of government will try to reach an agreement on the long-term budget.
The prospects for that meeting have darkened in recent days as several diplomats have come to the conclusion that it will be impossible to accommodate the UK's demands, and are now predicting failure.
"Because of the British stance people are looking, both in national capitals and in Brussels, for a solution at 26. It's being looked at from a financial and legal point of view," one official said.
The plan may be a negotiating ploy to try to put more pressure on David Cameron, the UK prime minister, to compromise. The budget talks will resume on Monday evening when Herman Van Rompuy, the European Council president, hosts a dinner of European ministers.
(Read More: European Union Exit? Concerns Grow for Britain)
Officials acknowledge that such an approach – if pursued – would be rife with complexities. It could also have grave consequences for the UK's already fragile relationship with the rest of the EU. "There are people talking about this," a diplomat said, but added: "There are huge questions."
Downing Street on Sunday said it was "sure" the idea was being discussed in Brussels but rejected the idea of a budget deal without Britain as "not acceptable".
"Ultimately we have to agree to spending this money," a spokesman for Mr. Cameron said. "We make a significant net contribution and parliament has a strong view on this."
Mr. Cameron has staked out the most aggressive position in the debate over the long-term budget, which will cover roughly €1,000 billion in spending from 2014 to 2020, calling for a real-terms freeze from 2011 levels.
Sweden has taken a similar position to the UK and other countries could yet thwart a deal. France's President François Hollande said on Saturday that "above all, spending on the common agricultural policy must be preserved".
In my years in Brussels I have learnt never to underestimate the ability of European technocrats to find money
Mr. Cameron's officials believe that chances of a compromise deal this week have increased in recent days from about 10 percent to nearer 30 percent, but believe the most likely outcome is that negotiations will continue next year.
Those member states seeking to close a deal are most worried about Britain because they acknowledge that Mr. Cameron stands to reap big political benefits at home if he issues his veto in Brussels.
David Davis, a leading Tory eurosceptic, on Sunday highlighted the hostile mood on the Conservative benches when he called for Britain to have two referendums on Europe: the first on a new negotiated membership settlement and then a straight in-out poll on whether Britain should continue as a member on the new terms.
The alternative budget being considered in Brussels would be done on an annual basis, which – under EU rules – requires qualified majority votes. By contrast, the traditional long-term budget, which covers seven years, requires unanimity.
It would involve passing a raft of legislation on this basis to authorize hundreds of billions of euros in EU development funds, according to diplomats. But one problem is that the revenue component of the budget requires unanimous approval of members states.
(Read More: Germany Grumbles as UK Waffles on EU Integration)
Without it, budget rebates for Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden would be put at risk, as well as the system used to collect customs duties and other sources of EU funding. "It would be a technical nightmare," one diplomat said.
Mr. Van Rompuy tried to mollify the UK last week by presenting a draft budget that included about €80 billion in cuts from that proposed by the European commission, the EU's executive arm – including deep reductions to agriculture spending that have infuriated France.
But at a meeting on Thursday, the UK's ambassador to the EU, Sir Jon Cunliffe, demanded further "across-the-board" cuts, according to diplomats, particularly to the salaries and benefits of EU civil servants.

We all have traditions, especially around the holidays. Whether it's a special dish the family makes every year, or maybe an activity everyone does together. Traditions help us create a bond within our families, and then we can carry those memories with us forever.
And the great thing is, it's never too late or too early to start new family traditions! And what better time than the new year.
Jessica Denay is the founder of the Hot Moms Club & author of the Hot Mom's Handbook. She's an expert on all the latest celebrity mom trends and as a mom herself, she's helping redefine the modern American mom. Jessica stopped by Making it in America to share some great affordable tips for moms to start the year off right! She says traditions are so important, because they bond families and last with kids for a lifetime. Here are a few simple and affordable things that you can do with your family that can have a positive impact!
Create Memory Jars -- Each time your family has a fun memory, write it down on a post-it and put it in a jar. Kids can decorate the jar to personalize it. Next year on Christmas Eve grab some eggnog and read and relive the laughs and memories…
Chalk Walk -- If the weather is nice, you can actually do this in December! Arm the kids with colored chalk and walk the neighborhood leaving sweet notes and well wishes for the holiday and new year, with drawings on the sidewalks as you go. The kids will have a blast and neighbors will be delighted to open their doors to such cute sayings of happiness and gratitude and luck.
Unplug -- This year make it a point to portion out time each week, be it 30 minutes every day or 1-2 hours once a week, and completely unplug. A great way to do that is by starting the tradition of game night. Jessica says some of her favorite family vacation memories are of her family all playing cards and games. Another great way to unplug doing crafts with the kids.
Ice Painting -- A fun and festive twist to painting, and you can actually order the Polar Explorer's Babbabox from babbaco.com, where everything you need is included in the box, along with a great book to help keep the kids engaged over the holiday break.
Each year create a Unique 'Last Supper' -- Get dressed up in' fancy clothes' have a candlelit dinner. Use the best silver and fancy glasses, or have a pajama dinner, with everyone in PJ's. Maybe eat breakfast food for dinner, or have a picnic in the living room -- anything that seems different will be fun and memorable for the kids, and it will be something they will look forward to each year.
Get Green -- We say it all the time, but this year, there are so many simple ways to incorporate recycling and earth friendly projects into your life.
For more tips and trends, keep up with the Hot Moms Club on Facebookand Twitter.

Literally, world-class. Our most advantaged students not only perform better than our European competitors, but also they perform about as well as any top-scoring country in the world. [T]he story is equally inspiring for our poorest students, who are closing the gap in reading in Canada, Finland, and Korea. Rich countries attract multicultural immigrants, Carnoy said, and it's predictable that immigrant children initially would have trouble with a new language barrier. In the U.S., a country with a long but decelerating legacy of Spanish-speaking immigrants, our schools along the border might be better prepared to deal with the language barrier than European countries whose African and Muslim immigration trends provide fresher challenges. There are also comparisons with France, Germany, and the UK. Disadvantaged American students do well against the EU3's disadvantaged students.

The best performer is Massachusetts, ringing in at No. 17. Minnesota also makes it into the upper-middle tier, followed by Vermont, New Jersey, and Washington. And down it goes from there, all the way to Mississippi, whose students�by this measure at least�might as well be attending school in Thailand or Serbia. Maybe it is all those immigrants and poor people that make the US look bad right? Nope, afraid not: Quote: On a percentage basis, New York state has fewer high performers among white kids than Poland has among kids overall. In Illinois, the percentage of kids with a college-educated parent who are highly skilled at math is lower than the percentage of such kids among all students in Iceland, France, Estonia, and Sweden. So what did Massachussets do to improve its schools? Spend more money? No. Reduce class size? No. Quote: Massachusetts made it harder to become a teacher, requiring newcomers to pass a basic literacy test before entering the classroom. (In the first year, more than a third of the new teachers failed the test.) The state also required students to pass a test before graduating from high school�a notion so heretical that it led to protests in which students burned state superintendent David Driscoll in effigy. To help tutor the kids who failed, the state moved money around to the places where it was needed most. �We had a system of standards and held people to it�adults and students,� Driscoll says. Pretty sensical stuff. The good news: Quote: However haltingly, more states are finally beginning to follow the lead of Massachusetts. At least 35 states and the District of Columbia agreed this year to adopt common standards for what kids should know in math and language arts�standards informed in part by what kids in top-performing countries are learning. Still, all of the states, Massachusetts included, have a long way to go. Last year, a study comparing standardized math tests given to third-graders in Massachusetts and Hong Kong found embarrassing disparities. Even at that early age, kids in Hong Kong were being asked more-demanding questions that required more-complex responses. Better late than never I suppose. White for white, black for black and so on shows the American system to be extremely effective. http://www.ed100.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2-8-1-PISA.gif Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Korean Job Discussion Forums Forum Index -> Current Events Forum All times are GMT - 8 HoursGoto page Previous 1, 2, 3 Page 3 of 3 Jump to: Select a forum Forums:----------------FAQJob-related Discussion ForumGeneral Discussion ForumOff-Topic ForumTravel ForumCurrent Events ForumTechnology ForumBuy/Sell/Trade Forum You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum This page is maintained by the one and only Dave Sperling.

The photo above is 59 years old - it is from the June 19, 1954 wedding of my godparents, Paul Robert "Bob" Pape Jr. (1926-2008) and Dolores Frances Olker (1929-2005). Seated at the table are, from left, my great aunt Martha Elisabeth Pape Bleidt (1890-1980), my aunt Marilyn Pape Hedger, my great uncle Leo John "Lee" Pape (1893-1979), my great uncle Walter Francis "Walt" Pape (1900-1975), and my mother, Geraldine Guokas Pape, who at that time was engaged to my dad, Frederick Henry Pape.
I have not written about Uncle Walt before, so I am going to use this post to do that.
Walter Francis Pape was born August 2, 1900, in Illinois, probably in Chicago. His parents, John Pape (1851-1945) and Gertrude Kramer Pape (1859-1919), and his six older siblings, were living at 1072 (now 1943) Lawndale Avenue in Chicago while father John was a merchant at nearby Senge & Pape Dry Goods at 889 (now 3060) Armitage. This is according to the 1900 Census, taken on June 15, 1900.
Walter was baptized on August 12, 1900, at nearby St. Philomena Catholic Church in Chicago. His godfather was Francis "Frank" J. Senge, John Pape's business partner, and this may be the source for Walter's middle name.
By 1904, the Pape family was back at their home at 1043 Sherman Avenue in Evanston (rented out while they were living in Chicago). The family attended St. Nicholas Catholic Church, and Walter went to the school there. On April 22, 1911, Walter received his First Communion, and he was confirmed on May 10, 1914. He took Robert as his Confirmation name, and his sponsor was Joseph A. Reis, the father of Gretchen Anna Reis, who later became his oldest brother Lee Pape's wife.
On September 12, 1918, Walter registered for the draft for World War I. His registration card notes that he is a student at Northwestern University in Evanston. On October 5, he enlisted in the Army, but he was released a little over a month later, on November 14, with the end of the war.
On the 1920 Census, Walter is living with his widowed father and older siblings at 1043 Sherman. He is still there in a 1925 Evanston city directory, and his occupation is listed as teller with City National Bank. On the 1930 Census, he is living with his single siblings Rhea and Dick in an apartment at 6319 N. Sacramento Avenue off Devon in north Chicago, and his occupation is bank clerk.
He was still in Chicago in 1935, and on the 1940 Census, he is living with his widowed father and brother Dick in an apartment at 3648 N. Hoyne Avenue in Chicago, just around the corner from his sister Martha Pape Bleidt and her family. His occupation is listed as office clerk with a real estate company.
He is not at this address in a 1945 Chicago directory. According to my dad, later in his life, Uncle Walt went to live with his brother Lee, who was widowed in 1947, at Lee's house in Wilmette.
The next record I have for Uncle Walt is for his death, on December 28, 1975. It shows him living at 4915 N. Damen in Chicago at that time. He is buried in the family plot at St. Henry Cemetery in Chicago. Uncle Walt died intestate, and I have copies of the probate records. He left a rather large estate that went to his surviving siblings, Martha, Rhea, and Lee, and the five children (my dad and his siblings) of his deceased brother Paul.
Walt never married, but my dad said he was in love with a woman named Marian Udelhofen who died young. Marian was a friend of my grandmother Elizabeth Massmann Pape, and she was my father's godmother.
I found some records for a Marian Udelhofen, born February 8, 1904, which was just a little over a year after my grandmother's birth. Marian lived at 1962 Morse Avenue in 1910, 1920, and 1930, and Elizabeth lived just down the street at 1938 Morse in 1910 and 1920 (and later on, she lived at nearby 2093 Lunt in 1930 and 1940. In 1930, John Pape lived around the block from Marian at 1949 Lunt.
I also found Marian's tombstone at St. Henry Cemetery. She died in 1939 at age 35.

Shirley: She's sent to help nine-year-old Timmy Potter, who longs for a new father. And although his mother, Jody, has vowed never to trust any man, Shirley is determined to help her love again.
Goodness: She knows Monica Fischer longs for a husband and home of her own, but the young woman has practically given up on finding the right man to stand by her side . . . until Goodness steps in to help.
Mercy: Can Mercy bring hope back into Leah Lundberg's life? This maternity nurse desperately wants a child to fill up the home she's made with her husband, Andrew.
But there's just one catch:
Each angel must teach her charge a memorable lesson before the prayer can be granted . . .

If I remember correctly, starting with qt4 KDE style will be used for pure qt4 apps (please correct me if I'm wrong). So say hello to Kopera and sKype .
Pure Qt apps can already use the same style as KDE apps within the same revision, ie Qt3 apps can use the same style as KDE3, so naturally one can expect Qt4 apps to be able to use the same style as KDE4. That would be nothing new.
Regardless, it is irrelevant as far as Opera is concerned, since Opera uses their own custom cross platform widgets. The only part of Linux Opera that can obey a Qt style is and will be the menu bar.
Your only hope for fitting in just right is with painstakingly made Opera skins like http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/info/?id=3336 or http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/info/?id=1717
Better get to hoping someone makes an Opera skin to match the Oxygen style.

If Hurricane Sandy proved anything, it's that when New York's three major airports are out of commission, the entire nation's air traffic network suffers. (Read more: For Travelers, Sandy's Aggravation Spans Globe)
Roughly a third of all flights in the nation fly to, from or through the New York City metropolitan area. Congestion there can lead to delays from San Francisco to Chicago to Washington, D.C. Every day, about 4,100 flights make their way within 15 miles of the Statue of Liberty.
And because the three New York area airports — LaGuardia, JFK and Newark Liberty — are so close to each other, expanding them is not a viable option. So the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is coming up with other ways to ease the congestion. One important strategy, Port Authority officials say, is adding what are known as "high-speed taxiways."
The taxiways are supposed to get airplanes to and from gates quicker. Traditional taxiways are set at sharp angles that force planes to slow down while exiting runways. The high-speed taxiways are angled more gently so that planes can exit faster. That lets planes waiting to depart from the same runways take off quicker as well.
High-speed taxiways can shave 8 seconds off a landing or departure, says Pat Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
JFK alone has 600 departures and arrivals each day, Foye says. Multiply that by 8 and you save 80 minutes each day, allowing planes to move quicker and safely, he says.
"This is an example of shaving off a very small amount of time, 8 seconds in the case of each flight," Foye says. "When you've got airports as busy as ours are … over the course of the day, 80 minutes saved on the taxiways is real progress in terms of reducing air traffic delays."
JFK now has six high-speed taxiways. Another three will be added. LaGuardia has seven high-speed taxiways. Newark has four high-speed taxiways. Two more are in the process of being built. The Port Authority is studying the possibility of adding more at LaGuardia and Newark.
The taxiways are not cheap. Adding the two high-speed taxiways and rehabilitating runways at Newark will cost about $32 million.
But clearing New York's airspace is important to both passengers and airlines, Foye says.
About 10.8 million passengers passed through the three airports in August. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, in 2011, carriers took in about $18 billion in revenue to and from New York. The second most lucrative airspace in Chicago lagged far behind with $8.5 billion.
"About one-third of delays in the country are due to problems at JFK, Newark and LaGuardia," Foye says. "If you can fix air traffic delays in New York, you can do it anywhere."

I think the other endzone is more dangerous with that railing being just off the back right of the endzone. Player and fan injuries could ensue.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
The setup allows players to score a touchdown and complete the famed Wrigley Leap in one continuous motion.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:24 PM ^
I cant believe people arent seeing this for what it is. This is the NCAA's answer to the NHL's "you pickem" All Star game promotion. Delany saw all the positive press hockey was getting for using schoolyard techniques for a modern game and wanted some of that for himself.
So obvious really.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:37 PM ^
This should not be any sort of surprise in the least. Someone had to saw, "let's play a game at Wrigley" and somebody else had to, I mean had to, say "ok, this is what it would look like, are you cool with this fit?". It would defy logic if that discussion did not take place. It would be like your builder finishing your house and then asking if it is ok that your living room now extends into your neighbor's garage so he could keep the square footage shown on the plan.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:28 AM ^
Are they going to do "laces or spaces" to determine who gets the ball first and who gets first pick?
November 19th, 2010 at 11:43 AM ^
Once you've delved into "loser walks" rules, is that really such a bad idea?
November 19th, 2010 at 11:51 AM ^
I call all-time quarterback. Is the rush going to be on three Mississippis or five?
November 19th, 2010 at 12:06 PM ^
I don't know, but I do know that they're requiring blitzing guys to yell out "BLITZ" before they cross the line of scrimmage.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
Yeah but they only get one blitz per a set of downs
November 19th, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
Ah, the days of backyard football. Thanks for the laughs this morning guys. I can remember all that vividly.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:29 AM ^
to Evanston. This is becoming a bad joke.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:59 AM ^
It's never a good sign when fears of an embarassing field situation causes you to consider moving a game TO Evanston.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:05 PM ^
Hey Nice Avatar. What's that article of clothing on her upper back??
November 19th, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
I Randy Mossed the neighbor kid Timmy for the game winning TD. Man was this a good idea!
November 19th, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
That makes it a little better but still. There shouldn't be a risk like this anyways.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
did NOT think this out well at all. Why didn't they just put the field like it was back in the day when they did it? It looks like they switched the orientation of the field
November 19th, 2010 at 11:44 AM ^
With the added seats over the years, bringing the fans closer to the foul lines, it would have been just as tight a fit to do it that way (i.e., when the Bears played at Wrigley).
This is a colossal fuck-up on the part of all parties involved in planning this debacle. I suppose you have to give them some credit for realizing this today, and not, say, tomorrow, 15 minutes before kickoff. Actually, no, no credit is deserved. This is just an all-around fucking disaster .
November 19th, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
Uhhhh... am I missing something? How the hell would that work?
November 19th, 2010 at 11:33 AM ^
Yeah, literally every time possession is changed, they will need to switch to the other side of the field. It just seems like more work than anything.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:33 AM ^
How does a pick 6 work? Run to the 50 and turn around and come back? That would at least be comical.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:34 AM ^
That's what I was thinking...
November 19th, 2010 at 11:42 AM ^
...that we'll see one of those highlights that will live forever in college football, where a guy picks up a fumble and returns it the wrong way?
November 19th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
Roy Riegels hopes those chances are good.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
A pick six or a punt return are not really concerns for running all the way out of the back of the endzone and hitting the wall. Basically they will just do like they do when the quarter ends, but do it on every change of possession.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:43 AM ^
Why do you think players run all those shuttle drills in practice?
Specifically to prepare for an instance in which administrative idiocy has nullified half the field.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:49 AM ^
There's not much danger in you running full steam into the back of the end zone on a pick six, so no you'd just run to the dangerzone in that instance.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:02 PM ^
Edit: this should be played whenever a team is heading in the wrong direction.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:27 PM ^
since there will be fans literally in the east endzone in folding chairs.
Now, Granny might get trucked, but that's a risk that just has to be taken.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:57 AM ^
If it's an airball,then you can just put it right back up and run into the house.
Are they playing "Make It, Take It" rules?
November 19th, 2010 at 12:08 PM ^
It could be like in video games where when you get a pick there is a slight pause while the screen flips. Only this way they pause and then position everyone exactly how they are on the other side of the field.
This could work.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
Offensive possessions will all just go in the same direction. Fumble and interception returns are fine to use the Endzone of Death since they don't use the back of the endzone in any way.
November 19th, 2010 at 11:32 AM ^
Wow. I'm glad this all was planned out so well in, you know, advance.
November 19th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
What are you talking about?!?!?! It was planned out perfectly:
Priority #1: $ for Wrigley
Priority #2: $ for N'Western and Illinois
Priority #3: $ for the City of Chicago
Priority #4: $ for the buisinesses in Wrigleyville
Priority #5: Integrity for the NCAA and Big 10
Priority #6: Football
November 19th, 2010 at 4:48 PM ^
Agree with your analysis of the thought process. Somewhere along the line, the basic background work wasn't done ..."hmmm it's been a long time since FB has been played there and with all of our rules about distances and separation I wonder how we should configure the field inside the stadium. Let's get a set of plans, a ruler, and do some drawings and see if it is even doable."
This is not a proud moment for Northwestern, Illinois or the Big Ten bureaucracy...basically no one checked! Everyone assumed someone else had done the background work.
Would this be a "legal" game by the rules of FB? If the field isn't regulation for play - and this sort of swapping back and forth seem very irregular, would the game count? Have there been HS or other college games where one part of the field was crappy (e.g. standing water) and so both teams played towards the opposite end. Anyone know of any other examples of this?
November 19th, 2010 at 11:23 PM ^
The closest I can come to answering that question is Rule 1-2-8-b: "Any markers or obstructions within the playing enclosure but outside the limit lines constituting a hazard shall be reported to game management by the referee. Final determination of corrective action shall be the responsibility of game management." That last sentence almost gives a blank check to "game management" (the Big Ten office) to come up with a solution.
In the end, though, that's pretty weak. There are several game rules that will be violated during this game, and the rule book states that "game conduct rules" (including allowing teams to choose their direction after the coin flip, and mandating switching sides at the end of a quarter) may not be altered. I think that if I were an official assigned to the game, I would try very hard to decline the assignment. It's a lose-lose situation.
Both teams have a very good argument that this isn't a "real" NCAA football game, because the officials have been instructed not to follow the NCAA football rules.
You ask how this happened. It's obvious--somebody measured the field and said, "no problem--we have 120 yards. That's all we need."
November 19th, 2010 at 11:32 AM ^
OMG this is beyond funny. I'm going to be at the game on Saturday but rest assured the NU game is going to getting DVR'd in my house. WTF are they going to do on turnovers? Blow the whistle mid-play or just have everyone turn around once they hit the 50?
Sounds like a halfcourt basketball game to me.

UH Law School named one of Princeton Review's 'Best 168 Law Schools'University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

Posted: Oct 10, 2012
The William S. Richardson School of Law on the UH Manoa campus has been ranked tops in the nation as the "Best Environment for Minority Students" in the annual Princeton Review rankings that rate the country's top 168 law schools.
Princeton Review also ranked the UH Law School fourth in the country for the "Most Diverse Faculty." The Review points out that 42 percent of the Law School faculty are members of minority groups and 43 percent are women.
These top rankings put the William S. Richardson School of Law among the nation's most outstanding law schools, according to the education services company that publishes more than 150 review books annually that examine qualities in the country's colleges, universities and professional schools.
Dean Avi Soifer said the new rankings for 2013 underscore two of the exceptional aspects of the Richardson Law School that set it apart from other highly ranked law schools. "These rankings cannot capture the mutual support that accompanies the rigorous training we offer, but it is certainly great to be recognized for our welcoming environment and for our diversity, along with our innovative educational approach that was featured recently in another survey," said Dean Soifer.
Richardson Law School is one of only 59 schools (about 35 percent of the 168 profiled) that appear on one or more of the Review's ranking lists.
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior VP and Publisher, the schools profiled in the lists were chosen "based on our high regard for their academic programs and our reviews of traditional data we collect from the school . . . We recommend William S. Richardson School of Law as one of the best institutions a student could attend to earn a law school degree."
The rankings, which were released nationally on October 1, 2012, are gathered through student surveys of schools across the nation and administrative data. For its Best Law Schools report, Princeton Review surveyed online more than 18,000 students at 168 law schools and collected data from school administrators.
But the Princeton Review does not rank the law schools in the book on a single hierarchical list from 1 to 168, nor does it name one law school as best overall. Instead, the book has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 law schools in various categories.
Ten lists are based entirely or partly on the Review's surveys of students. They were conducted during the 2011-12, 2010-11 and 2009-10 academic years. One list, "Toughest to get into," is based solely on institutional data.
The Review includes comments from Richardson students who said the school is "Nestled at the Crossroads of the Pacific" and offers local, national and international students "an equal opportunity to get a law degree while enjoying a little piece of heaven on earth."
Students also noted, however, that none of the laid-back nature of the students and faculty took away from the school's "rigorous" academics.
Franek said that the Review greatly respects the opinions of students who "rate and report on their experiences . . . on an 80-question student survey." The Princeton Review's survey asks law students about their schools' academics, student body and campus life as well as about themselves and their career plans.
The Princeton Review analysis points to many additional strengths at the University of Hawai'i Law School, including:
- The student/faculty ratio of 8:1.
- The average LSAT score of 156.
- Specializations in Environmental and International law
The lists are posted at www.PrincetonReview.com/law-school-rankings.aspx

Famously, law students learn a great deal from their fellow students. This way you learn some things otherwise you might not know. Here we celebrate diversity and don't try to smash it out of people so it's a combination of being very diverse and being committed to diversity while still not forgetting where we come from.

Watery Skies
Even if you have cloudless evening skies at this time of year, a watery view awaits you — a stretch of constellations associated with water. Together, they're known as the Celestial Sea. They stretch across the southeastern quadrant of the sky in early evening, and across the entire southern sky by midnight.
Much of the association with water comes from the time of year: Autumn was a rainy season for much of the Mediterranean, where the constellations were named.
As the sky gets fully dark, look about a third of the way up the southern sky for Capricornus, the sea-goat. Its stars aren't especially bright, but they form a distinctive pattern that's fairly easy to pick out under dark skies — a triangle that's often compared to the bottom of a bikini bathing suit.
Aquarius, the water bearer, wraps above and to the left of Capricornus. And the only really bright star in the entire sea is below them. Fomalhaut represents the mouth of Piscis Austrinus, the southern fish. And the other fish, Pisces, is in the east and southeast — a V-shaped pattern with a pentagon at the right point of the V.
By midnight, these constellations have rolled westward, revealing the last two members of the Celestial Sea — Cetus, the sea monster, and a long, scraggly trail of stars that forms Eridanus, the river.
These six constellations will grace the evening sky for several more months — icy stars sparkling through the cold nights of winter.

Drawing new student orientation week to a close, Andrews University vespers leadership hosted the freshman vespers program in Pioneer Memorial Church. The team consisted of Andrews University Student Association (AUSA) officers, student chaplains from Campus Ministries, junior and senior class student leaders, and one of several University Vespers praise teams, with the support of José Bourget, associate chaplain.
"The returning student leadership embraced the idea that this year will be unlike any other here at Andrews University," says Jose Bourget, Andrews University chaplain. "They truly believe that God will do a new thing."
Before the service began, the team of leaders totaling about 25 had worship together, led by Kevin Wilson, AUSA religion vice president. He challenged them to think beyond programming excellence to a Holy Spirit-infused experience where people's lives can be changed.
During the service they called the freshmen class to invite God to be the Creator of new beginnings, to shout out and proclaim His name, to be a spark of prayer on campus.
"It was the first fruits of God doing a new thing," says Bourget. "Pastor Dwight [Nelson, senior pastor of Pioneer Memorial Church] felt led by the Spirit to make an unplanned appeal, and over 50 students joined him at the front of the church."
After passing out decision cards, the leaders collected 48 completed cards, among which were six baptism requests, seven Bible study requests, one request to join the Adventist church, and dozens more wanting to recommit their lives.
The cards were divided between student chaplains, AUSA members, and a couple other highly committed students with the promise of contacting the people whose names were on the cards within 48 hours. Additionally, hundreds more came to the platform to sign their name on the circle hanging above the pulpit, as a symbol of their commitment to exercise moral leadership on the Andrews campus.
"One young lady leaving for a public university in just over a week came to Pastor Dwight in tears following the service," recalls Bourget. "She wants to be baptized before she leaves, as she has never taken that step. There are plans in place to make that happen."
Two freshmen who plan to join an Andrews sports team said they want Bible study and prayer to be a big part of their team experience.
"They said when that core is strong, they envision the team going out across campus doing that same thing within their circles of influence," explains Bourget.
As a result of this inspiring start to the school year, Bourget suggests we should be prepared for the Enemy to work harder than ever to discourage those on campus who would shine the Light for others.
"I invite you to continue to pray hard that God will pour out His Spirit in a mightier way than ever before," he says. "It appears He's already started, but please also pray for courage and well-being for our campus family this year."
"The Holy Spirit was definitely moving amongst and through the people during that vespers," says Kevin Wilson, AUSA religion VP. "I fully believe that God did and will continue to do a new thing for this campus through University Vespers and many other means."

Texas Governor Rick Perry has opened a new issue to try to lift his floundering campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, insinuating that President Barack Obama just might not be an American citizen. Asked if Obama was born in the United States, Perry told Parade Magazine, in an interview published on October 23, "I have no reason to think otherwise." But he then qualified his answer, stating, "Well, I don't have a definitive answer."
Perry's comments on Obama's background are puzzling, considering that the President has produced a long form birth certificate proving his U.S. citizenship. For those Republicans who have become known as "Birthers," Obama's documention is not enough. To them, he will always be under suspicion as an alien. Whether it is his brown skin, Arabic middle name, or African father that feeds the doubters, he remains the source of heavily publicized right-wing conspiracy theories, now given credence by Perry. According to an October 12 PPP poll, 39 percent of registered Republicans still do not believe Barack Obama was born in the United States.
But by channeling the paranoia, Perry may have opened himself up to unsettling questions about his own background and family history. In his stump speeches since announcing his candidacy, Perry almost invariably touts his humble roots, describing a hardscrabble but wholesome childhood in Haskell County, Texas, the origin of his small-town traditional values. Yet the New York Times has reported the pervasiveness of racist attitudes in Haskell County, where white residents referred to the segregated area on the other side of the tracks as "Niggertown." The Times story followed the report in the Washington Post on the Perry family ranch in West Texas, where the governor often entertained guests, called "Niggerhead."
But both papers missed an additional important historical fact: Haskell County was home to an active, large and influential chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. The genealogy of a prominent farmer and longtime resident of Haskell County, Oran Ewan Webb, refers to the Klan as a central facet of life in the county, noting:"There was a meeting of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan at the O E Webb farm four miles east of Haskell on Monday night September 29, 1924. Public lectures were given by speakers of state reputation. Every officer of the Haskell County Klan was present. (Notice from Haskell newspaper)."
During the 1920's, the Klan virtually controlled Texas state politics. According to the Texas State Historical Association:
"With a membership of perhaps as many as 100,000, the Klan used its united voting block to elect state legislators, sheriffs, judges, and other local and state officials. Its greatest success, however, was in securing the election of Earle Bradford Mayfield to the United States Senate in 1922. The following year the Klan established firm control of city governments in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Wichita Falls, and the order probably had a majority in the House of Representatives of the Thirty-eighth Texas Legislature, which met in January. By the end of 1922 the paid membership swelled to as many as 150,000, and Kluxers looked forward to even greater triumphs."
Though Klan membership declined steadily after the Great Depression hit Texas, local chapters remained active throughout the civil rights era. The Times reported that when Perry entered Texas A&M in 1968, some students posed for yearbook photos in Klan robes, while others formed a dairy group called the "Kream and Kow Klub" — KKK. Today, an underground Klan chapter operates in West Texas, and in 2010 its members left fliers in a parking lot at Texas Tech University.
Perry may continue to believe, or pretend, that he does not have a "definitive answer" to the question about Obama's citizenship — even though the state of Hawaii does. But he must have a "definitive answer" to another question closer to home — whether members of his family belonged to the Klan, or attended Klan rallies. It is an indisputable fact that the Klan was a central component of the cultural and political heritage of Perry's hometown. Were members of his family ever members of the Klan? The national press has begun to put Haskell Country's disturbing history of racism in the spotlight. Given Perry's gesture to the "Birthers," it is now time to learn more about his background. What exactly were his family's ties to the Klan, if any, and if so, why has he kept the information hidden from the public for his entire political career?

Hammond [N8MH] Mark, My Linksys WRT54GS annoyed the heck out of me with birdies, so I replaced it with a cheap Netgear. Not a peep out of it, since then. I liked having DD-WRT on the Linksys device a couple of years ago when I was using it, but the Linksys is stashed away in a box for "emergencies" and otherwise banned from my shack now, due to the RF issues. Ironically I had already tried the "power the house down to see if the interference is local" and had decided it wasn't, and that I needed to do some DF'ing... then I realized that the server and the WRT54GS were on the UPS, which I had NOT shut off. (Doh! Smacks forehead...) I did try briefly to do things like ferrites on the "goes-intas" and "goes-outtas", etc... to no perfect effect. I could mitigate some of the noise, but the thing was ultimately just too noisy. The wall- wort for my particular model (there are something like six different hardware models of the WRT54GS -- another annoying pattern of the small router manufacturers) was just a transformer... whether or not there was a noisy switch-mode power supply inside the Linksys, I didn't investigate. Someone else commented about using "quality Cat 5 and Cat 6 cable"... since Cat 5 and Cat 6 are ratings for UNSHIELDED twisted-pair (UTP), I have no idea what differing "quality" levels of cable would accomplish. Ethernet via Cat 5 is SUPPOSED to leak signal. Someone missed reading the standards, I guess. The comment made no sense to me from an RF engineering perspective. One possible "fix" for that type of noise could be to run Ethernet on SHIELDED twisted-pair (STP) cable, and ground the "drain" wire at ONE end (don't ground both ends, you WILL create a ground loop, and it WILL drive you crazy... eventually) but it no longer will meet the Ethernet specifications for cross-talk, etc. Frankly, it works -- but don't go doing it in the office or someplace where the network is critical. They make special RJ45 connectors with metal strips "wrapped around" the connector body that can be crimped in such a way as to capture the drain wire, and that are built to ground to special female RJ45 sockets... again, only do this on one end... and they were usually used for things like telco T1 carriers that *are* specified to use STP cabling in many instances. I don't think the real noisemaker in the Linksys was the Ethernet signal itself anyway -- it certainly leaked out of the cheap plastic (virtually unshielded) case via the Ethernet cablilng, but the Ethernet noise wasn't the problem. It was so cheap to try another router, the "fixes" weren't worth my time. Easier to buy from Netgear who's had a pretty good track record of actually building properly shielded products, back to when their little switches, hubs, and other devices were all in the "blue metal case", complete with a real ground terminal and lug on the back-side, which is a "body style" they're not making many of anymore... Same thing with cheap plastic PC cases... noise galore leaking from those, too. Makes one miss the days of steel cases and PCs you could barely lift. My IBM/Lenovo T43 provided by work throws all sorts of VHF crud, enough to completely obliterate the front-end of my poor Kenwood TH- F6A "broad as a barn door" receiver on most of the VHF band (IF mixing perhaps), and the MacBook is more bearable, but the LCD backlight system makes RF noise. I guess with the ever-lowing price of fiber-optic based networking gear... that's the ultimate in quiet, as long as you can keep the routers/switches themselves from leaking crud... but that's definitely overkill. Overkill is sometimes what we hams do best, however. I have seen the photos to prove it. (GRIN) We are the only HOBBY organization that regularly launches satellites... or so I'd like to believe. (BIGGER GRIN) Good luck killing off the Linksys RF interference gremlins.

Bosses of a town centre bar that had its licence suspended in January have appeared in court to appeal the decision.
Former licence holder, Nick Carter of C&N Leisure Ltd, was at Chesterfield Magistrates last Wednesday to challenge the suspension.
The bar closed following the suspension which was originally imposed by Chesterfield Borough Council's licensing committee last January.
The suspension related to an undercover police operation between October and December 2013, which revealed drug-related activity in the premises.
At the preliminary hearing, Duncan Craig, for the appellant, disputed the fact that the crimes committed leading to the decision were serious enough to warrant suspension of the licence.
The full appeal will be now heard at Chesterfield Magistrates court on May 28.
It is expected to take one day.

The release isn't the best of quality, but we will try to improve this in the future. I wasn't involved in editing this time, and the release was already out the door by the time I got a chance to view it. -_-
But, everyone please enjoy this anime, it will be a great addition to your collection!!

Very nice show - I hadn't heard of it, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Surprising that such a title would come out of the studio that is more recently known for titles like Cowboy Bebop, Mugen no Rivius, and Witch Hunter Robin. ^^;
Though, I do have a slight issue with the title subtiting completely obscuring Sunrise's copyright notice - could this be fixed in the future as well?

It's a cute series so far, I hope the fansubbers keep going until the end. I'm glad to see that some fansubbers out there are going after good but lesser-known series like this, instead of being the fifth group to sub more popular anime like Chrno Crusade. Izumi reminds me of Kiyone from Tenchi Muyo, she also has God-awful luck

All the faith I'd lost in fansubs has been brought back by this. It's great to see an old series like this being subbed once again. Wasn't this kind of thing what fansubbing used to always be about? Bringing us shows that we would have never seen otherwise? Kudos to SD Project.

It's easier to just buy the DVD box. As you said, it released just a month ago, which I had assumed to be the reason for the sudden release of the show.
The DVD box does come with that incredibly cute figure, though... (check the Vap link in the first post of this thread) ^^;

I'm looking through some of my resources to make a mini kit for a blog train. I found the perfect CU embellishment, but when I read the TOU it states you can't use the resource to make freebies. I know some designers stipulate this, but whats the point? I don't understand what difference it would make to the designers if the other designer wants to give away the finished product? Its kind of like buying yarn and knitting a sweater, but the yarn company saying you can't give the sweater away, but can only use it yourself or sell it. That's why I love the stuff here on PS. The terms are easy to understand and the products are easy to use.
You are hereForums › Digital Scrapbooking › Digital Scrapbooking Discussion › I just don't understand...
I just don't understand...
Thanks Fran! I thought I might be the only one thinking this way.
I just wanted to add to my above rant that the resource I was going to use wasn't a finished embellishment, but was a greyscale/template item. Its not like you would just include it as is in a kit, but would have to do some "creative work" to it to match your kit. I can understand if it is a finished item that you would use for S4H or part of a cluster. I'll abide by the TOU of course, but I still think its silly...
I totally know what you mean Cat. I only do freebies. I try to remember to check but sometimes I miss. Today, I bought a bunch of kits from a designer (on sale) and then I read the TOU...ugh, it said for freebies you had to do more than recolor....well that is kind of hard with some things. So I emailed her and she gave me some suggestions of what she meant especially with charms....like adding a string or chain or just including it with a flower. So that makes it easier but I still wish they would not have that restriction.
I agree with all of you, and I definitely disagree with designers who state they can change their terms at any time, and it is up to you to keep up with her TOU changes & updates.
I also think it's getting a bit ridiculous...the TOU "terms" stating "Okay for Personal Use" (what on earth does this mean?! What else could it be used for if it's a PU kit/item?!, "CU4PU", others stating "Limited Commercial Use", etc. I HATE when it is not simply stated on the preview whether the item(s) are PU or CU or CU4CU. It's pure drudgery going through some of their TOU's...in notepad and formatted with lots of text and single-spaced...to try and figure out what the darn TOU is!
If these designers want to be successful, they should make their TOU simple and obvious...and do it directly on the preview. Also. name their items consistently...not "element 1" and not "TOU" for the folder...why do some of them leave their name off of the TOU title and kit papers or elements? They want credit and they wish to sell their items, but they (and I mean SOME of them, certainly not all) make it so difficult!
That's my rant! And that's my story, and I'm sticking to it! He, he!
You are all so right! It gives me a headache trying to sort out what I can or cannot use for freebies. Things that state CU are suddenly not meant to be used for making a freebie? Why? You've just given it away yourself haven't you? To be used for CU you just said?! Ugh...
I try to use PS items only and do the rest by hand - I tend to stay away from anything other designers have made, just to avoid getting a headache...
What I find absurd about the notion is if they are giving it away, but saying you can only use it to make money with it (or for your own self - which is stupid too because then you wouldn't need a cu item if its just for personal use). It would make more sense if it was a freebie and they stipulated that you can only use it to make other freebies - like with Creative Commons licensing. I think maybe I'll have to take more time to make my own stuff, which I try to do anyway, but I'm not that great at drawing.
I wonder if they're afraid that their work is going to be given away for free. If person A is selling an element in a kit that person B buys, then person B gives away the element in a freebie, person C could just download the freebie from person B and not buy the kit from person A. And depending on the TOUs of person A, person B could possibly give away 5 or 6 elements (or more). But, if person B is only allowed to use it for CU, then at least person C is having to pay for it somewhere and not getting it for nothing - and that makes person A feel better.
I think it's convoluted. I think it's so much easier to use something like the Creative Commons instead of just making stuff up as you go along.
I understand what you all are getting at. It got so crazy keeping up with the different terms that I just put ALL my cu stuff on an external hardrive and OFF my computer, then I made cu4cu folders and now only use those! You just never know, and I try to make most of the stuff myself or use stuff from very few sources, like here at PS, I LOVE HER TERMS! I can't seem to find any cu4cu stuff online, and I am only interested at making stuff to give away for others, so I need very simple easy to understand terms! I certainly don't want to have to pay for anything, so, I've gotten to where I am drawing stuff myself, and taking photos and extracting myself, etc.... Its harder, but I just wanna make sure I don't get into trouble! I wanna get to the point of making stuff and labeling it cu4cu. We need to start a thread to find out more cu4cu freebie sites!:)
The headache was too much for me, so I gave up and made my own stuff. Hopefully soon we'll have more designers who will share in our easy to understand terms.
There is a difference:
Copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of "original works of authorship" including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works, both published and unpublished. In digital scrapbooking, this is the kit and its contents.
A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device which is used in trade with goods to indicate the source of the goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others. This would be our brand, in my case, ViVa Artistry.
A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the Patent and Trademark Office. Nothing in digital scrapbooking is really patented, maybe the software.
As far as copyrights as concerns to the kit itself...you are absolutely right that a lot has to do with the business itself. We get asked many times to use our designs not just in other kits, but also as elements/papers for traditional PAPER scrapbooking, calendar designs for print, designs for print on demand services, scrap for hire services, wall design companies, graphics designers, web design companies, etc. We have to keep these in mind and so do a lot of the CU sellers. It's not just the digital designers they sell to.
It is all confusing, absolutely right. But it is well worth it to figure out all the details on it before you decide on doing business in digital design. It keeps you legally clear and out of the mess of copyright issues...
I agree with Marisa. I have downloaded a LOT of stuff in the very few months that I have been digital scrapbooking and after looking at the TOUs, I have decided to lump it ALL in a folder that I intend to never share, use to make anything for anyone other than myself, and probably not to use on anything I intend to display online (because apparently even that violates some TOUs). It's just all so convoluted. I am keeping the PixelScrapper CU stuff in a separate folder because I feel comfortable using it (and stuff from anyone else who adopts Marisa's easy TOUs, or has similar easy TOUs). And I plan to make everything else myself. There seem to be enough generous souls and tutorials on the internet that I can learn what I need to know.
I just came across one tonight: "[you may not] alter the graphics to create derivative works and then claim them as your own". For this, I wonder, wouldn't "no derivative works" be enough? It seems a bit redundant to me - if I can't create derivative works, then how can I claim said unmade derivative works as my own? And, lets suspend the no derivative works part for a moment, if I were to make a derivative work then I would have to say that my work belonged to the person whose item was used in my derivative works??? o.O
Granted, those were terms from a PU freebie blog train item, but that sort of thing/attitude completely discourages me from buying stuff from people. I think Marisa said in her TOUs that other TOUs made her feel guilty before even using the item, and I agree! Somehow, some TOUs make me feel like a criminal for even looking at the stuff.
I dunno. I like Marisa's TOUs and the Creative Common's licenses are pretty straight forward. Even better, I love Leo Babauta's "uncopyright" over at Zen Habits. But, then, I believe in this "uncopyright abundance" movement that's going on. I want the lives of other people to be touched and made better, more beautiful by my words or art or whatever more than I worry about my own financial stability, honestly. I think that if people love what I do, then they will want to give back so that I can create more. If I give energy of generosity into this universe, then I believe wholeheartedly that it will be returned to me. But, that's just my philosophy in life.
I respect the TOUs of artists regardless, but I will steer clear of anything too complicated for me. I like things to be simple.
(and the word "steer" looks really awkward to me tonight... every time I look at it, I can't stop picturing longhorn cattle... -_-)
@Mollie: It probably means that you CAN create derivative works, but CAN´T claim as your own... which means simply that you can´t use the derivative work in other terms that aren´t the ones for the rest of the kit.
I have a state more or less like it in my PU/S4H terms of use. It says: "If you alter any of the files of this kit, you CAN´T claim the altered file as your own. You may alter them as you please, but your rights about the altered item will stay the same as they are stated in those terms of use."
I am a person that, depending on the kit, have a long TOU. Not that I intend to make people give up of using my stuff or things like that. The main problem is that I am brazilian, and, although I really hate the "brazilian way of doing things", I can´t ignore that it happens: Lots of smaller brazilian "designers" download tons of freebies, then mix them and sell at online stores as their own, or sell "graphic collections DVDs". Unfortunatelly, even in phisical craft stores you can find these DVDs here, and some of them are just a collection of freebies out of their original folders. Also, too many party makers simply share "their" files (aka, digikits) with their friends, and sell things made with them with no allowance at all. I am not saying that all Brazilian designers do that; there are some great of them in the market (but that´s why most of them prefer to sell at international stores, as this kind of people usually stay out of them for not knowing English or not willing to pay with an international credit card) but that the ammount who make it are really disturbing. Having how to prove that the files were originally mine, and that they had a TOU forbidding this acts (that´s why the "please read the TOU and the same thing written in Portuguese in my previews, and that all my things include the TOU also in Portuguese) I can at least take their products out of the majority of the online stores by prooving it.
On the other hand, I try to leave a door open to the "good" scrappers and designers in a way that, if they are not sure if they can/can´t do something they can ask me, or that I can even grant bigger permissions for no extra fee for people that are honest. If you feel uncomfortable about some of my TOU someday or want to check if an specific image on a PU/S4H kit was made by me and I can give you permission to use as CU, feel free to mail me, or send me a pm through this site. Some things, however, I just can´t offer as CU because I use CU products to make it.
My stuff... I made it to be used, use it in the way you want, whether I give it away or sell it, use it. That is what it's for.
I sometimes think it would be nice to just not LOOK at TOU from anyone and play dumb. (I know, that isn't right, but that is the way I feel sometimes.) LOK

A vascular ring is a defect of the aorta and nearby large vessels. The aorta is the large artery that carries blood from the heart to the body. When the aorta and nearby large vessels form in abnormal positions, the trachea and esophagus can become constricted by the "ring" formed by these abnormal vessels. Examples of this type of defect include:
While vascular ring may be detected in infancy, it is often discovered later in life.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Vascular ring is present at birth. It is not known exactly why the heart does not develop normally.
Specific risk factors for vascular ring are not known.
Symptoms vary and can range from mild to severe. They may include:
These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. If your child has any of these, tell the doctor right away.
Your doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Imaging tests evaluate the heart and other structures. These may include:
An electrocardiogram (EKG) is used to measure the heart's electrical activity.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include:
The goal of surgery is to divide the vascular ring and relieve compression on the trachea and esophagus. This surgery may even be done if your child has minor symptoms.
Before surgery, the doctor will treat your child's symptoms. For example, the doctor will make sure that your child gets proper nutrition if he has swallowing problems. If your child has a bacterial respiratory infection, he will be treated with antibiotics.
Your child will have regular exams from a heart specialist.
There is no way to prevent the formation of a vascular ring. Getting appropriate prenatal care is always important.

Poyet backed for Chelsea job
Ray Wilkins has backed Guy Poyet to become the next manager of Chelsea, with the post set to be vacant in the summer.
• Blog: Chelsea invoke old values
Stamford Bridge legend Wilkins, who had successful spells as a player and coach with the west London club, believes the Uruguayan currently in charge of Championship side Brighton has what it takes to succeed in one of football's toughest jobs.
Wilkins is convinced Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will not bring bookmakers' favourite Jose Mourinho back to Stamford Bridge this summer, as he suspects the Real Madrid boss already has his eyes on another prestigious Premier League posting.
"I think Jose will be the next manager of Manchester United, so I would give the Chelsea job to someone like Gus Poyet," Wilkins told talkSPORT. "He has served his apprenticeship at Swindon and Leeds and has Brighton playing some wonderful football.
"Knowing the way they employ managers at Chelsea, I would expect them to go for a foreign manager. Manuel Pellegrini at Malaga, Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid? Both could be interesting.
"Gianfranco Zola has been mentioned, but I'm not sure whether it would be a little soon for Franco, so I would look at Poyet. He loves the club to pieces, plays in the right manner and would be a good choice."
Wilkins went on to suggest the ongoing woes of £50 million striker Fernando Torres are unlikely to be resolved at Chelsea, as the style of play employed by the reigning European champions does not suit the misfiring Spanish striker.
"When he played at Liverpool, they played the ball beyond defenders for Fernando and he used his pace to get himself clear and gets shots on goal, but Chelsea's build-up play is so much more deliberate," he said.
"Often when he receives the ball at Chelsea, he is surrounded by plenty of players. Maybe his feet are not good enough, maybe he is not good enough to play with his back to goal compared to the likes of a (Didier) Drogba or someone like that. It's a shame to see the way it has gone for him at Chelsea."
Meanwhile, Wilkins has questioned the decision of interim Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez to continually omit club captain John Terry from his starting line-up, and he is urging the Spanish tactician to re-install the Stamford Bridge legend in place of Brazilian David Luiz.
"I am a big John Terry fan and having seen David Luiz playing in midfield, I am even more convinced he is better suited to that position," he added.
"When I saw the second Manchester United goal going in on Sunday, I thought there is only one person who could have headed that away and that was John Terry. I don't see how you can leave him out of the big games. If he is on the bench, he must be fit to play."
