News > Computer games tackle climate change
Computer games do not have a good reputation. They are seen - by those who don't play them – as the font of many of society's ills. Critics say they foster a generation of house bound couch potatoes, sitting in darkened rooms getting increasingly unhealthy as a lack of exercise and sunlight combine to take their toll. They have also been blamed for introducing millions of youngsters to a world of street based extreme violence devoid of any personal or social consequences. The effects of which are still being fiercely debated.
Into this world has arrived the climate change challenge. Fate of the Word, a British made computer game gives players control of a future World Trade Organisation style environmental body. The object of the game is to save the world by cutting carbon emissions through enlightened trading policies. Failure leads to a planet of soaring temperatures wreaking havoc through floods, droughts and fires. This new strategy based game is already being hailed by gaming experts as a potential breakthrough for social change games, and welcomed by climate campaigners as a way of reaching new audiences. Because gamers spend many, many hours on games they are seen as way of getting large levels of quite spohisticated information over to this potential new audience.
Gobion Rowlands, chairman at Red Redemption and a board member of social gaming organisation 'Games for Change' said the game was inspired by a boozy night out with Dr Myles Allen, head of climate dynamics at Oxford University. "My wife was working on Allen's Climate prediction .net (a project to use the power of home PCs to process climate model data)" Mr. Rowlands told reporters. "He took me out for dinner, we got quite drunk. I bragged that we could make a computer game about anything. He challenged us to make one about climate change."
Fate of the World was the outcome. A project that may have found a way of turning a legion of couch potatoes into the eco-warriors of the future.

When they're first born, or just starting to walk, children's legs and feet often don't quite look like their adult versions yet. At this stage, bones are still soft and growing, and minor rotations in the leg (in-toeing or out-toeing) or arches that disappear when the child stands (called flexible flatfoot) are common and usually nothing to worry about.
However, in about 1 out of every thousand births, one or both feet are severely twisted—so much that the sole of the foot faces sideways or upward. This is called clubfoot, and treatment must begin soon after birth to correct the problem before your child begins walking.
Causes of Clubfoot
Mechanically and structurally speaking, clubfoot is caused by an imbalance in the tendons that connect the muscles of the leg to the bones of the feet: they're too short and tight, pulling and twisting the foot inward.
In most cases, the underlying cause of this tendon imbalance is unknown. Sometimes there's an accompanying health problem or neuromuscular condition, such as spina bofida, at play; such cases tend to be more resistant to treatment.
However, most of the time there's no obvious underlying cause for clubfoot. A combination of both genetic inheritance and environmental factors (such as the condition in the womb) are suspected as likely contributors, and there does seem to be greater risk for those with a family history of the condition.
Symptoms of Clubfoot
Clubfoot deformities can range from relatively mild to extremely severe, with the bottoms of feet turned entirely upward and creased along the bottom. A foot affected by the condition will tend to have weaker calf muscles and could be up to half an inch shorter than an unaffected leg.
Despite the appearance, you'll be relieved to know that clubfoot is virtually never painful for an infant child. It may look uncomfortable, but because the bones are still soft and the child is not walking or bearing weight yet, they won't feel a thing.
However, clubfoot will not get better without treatment, and if it isn't corrected the consequences for your child as they learn to stand, walk, and grow can be severe. These can include painful arthritis, limited mobility (since the child may be walking on the side or even tops of their feet), inability to wear shoes, and other problems.
If clubfoot is treated successfully, though, the long-term prognosis is much improved. There may be some minor consequences; for example, if your child was born with clubfoot in only one leg, the foot might remain permanently smaller (up to 1.5 shoe sizes) than the other, and calf size and muscle strength might be affected as well. However, the vast majority of kids born with clubfoot are able to live fully healthy, active lives throughout adolescence and adulthood if they receive appropriate treatment.
Treatment for Clubfoot
Conservative and surgical methods exist to treat cases of clubfoot.
For the best long-term outlook, conservative treatments are strongly preferred, as surgery may leave the child with a stiffer foot. However, fixing clubfoot without surgery requires a long time and a high level of commitment from caregivers.
According to the Ponsetti method—the most common conservative treatment approach—the doctor will gently stretch the child's foot into the correct position and hold it in place using a cast. For about two months, this process will be repeated every week. Afterward, there may be a small surgical procedure to release the Achilles tendon.
Once the clubfoot has been corrected, the child will need to wear special shoes and braces according to a strict schedule for up to 3 years in order to prevent the clubfoot from returning. The braces are usually needed nearly full time for the first several months, and only at night thereafter.
Surgery is held as a last resort when conservative treatment is not completely successful, often because the condition was especially severe, or (unfortunately) because parents or other caregivers are unable to fully follow the at-home portion of the treatment program. Even if some surgery is thought to be inevitable, it is still best to take conservative care as far as it will go first—even partial progress can mean that the eventual surgery can be less extensive and minimize long-term risk and complications.
At North Austin Foot & Ankle, we believe in the power of education. When it comes to clubfoot, understanding your responsibility as a parent is absolutely crucial in ensuring the best outcome for your child. If your newborn has a clubfoot deformity, please make an appointment with Dr. Keith McSpadden as soon as possible. Our team will make sure you have the information you need, the best treatment we can provide, and any referrals to other specialists as necessary. Please call today at (512) 593-2949.

HudsonAlpha's online educational activity Touching Triton was the subject of a recent podcast with EdReach Network, an educational media network. EdReach provides a platform for passionate, outspoken individuals aiming to strengthen their voices by highlighting innovation in the field of education through reporting critical education news, providing commentary, and offering criticism of the educational issues of the day.
HudsonAlpha educators Kelly East and Adam Hott sat down with Zack Gilbert, host of EdReach Network's EdGamer podcast, on August 27 to talk about Touching Triton and the use of real world data in the development of educational games. The podcast went live on August 30.
Touching Triton is a free online educational activity currently in development by Educational Outreach at HudsonAlpha. The activity will give students and teachers the opportunity to have an engaging conversation about common complex disease risk influenced by family history, environmental factors and genomic data. Students learn to synthesize data from these sources to inform lifestyle choices and medical intervention strategies in the setting of a long-duration space flight mission.
Real world data is found throughout the activity both in the information students interact with and the behind the scenes calculations that govern mission outcome. The use of this data is thought to enhance students' engagement with the storyline and understanding of complex genetics.
Gilbert is a middle school history teacher and uses games as learning devices throughout his courses. Touching Triton got his attention at the Games Learning and Society Conference held in Wisconsin each summer. Hott said making connections with professionals such as Gilbert are important to advancing the mission of HudsonAlpha.
The EdGamer podcast is available online as part of the EdReach Network. It is also available on iTunes.

From the New York Times:
An NBC News internal investigation into Brian Williams has examined a half-dozen instances in which he is thought to have fabricated, misrepresented or embellished his accounts, two people with knowledge of the investigation said.
The investigation includes at least one episode that was previously unreported, these people said, involving statements by Mr. Williams about events from Tahrir Square in Cairo during the Arab Spring.
The investigation, conducted by at least five NBC journalists, was commissioned early this year after Mr. Williams was forced to apologize for embellishing an account of a helicopter episode in Iraq in 2003. He was subsequently suspended for six months from his anchor position on the "NBC Nightly News." The inquiry is being led by Richard Esposito, the senior executive producer for investigations, for the news division.
The review of Mr. Williams's reporting is not finished and no final conclusions have been reached. When completed, it is expected to form the basis for a decision on whether to bring him back. It is not clear when that decision will be made.

G hangs the phone up. Looks up at my parents, and said, "You have a cousin. I know her. She lives here on the island. She is on her way over right now."
My parents, especially my dad, are stunned. They are sitting there, on a little island in the middle of the Aegean Sea, at a virtual stranger's house who claims that my dad, let alone has a cousin he never knew about, but that he knows her and she's on her way over!
My mother is crying, my dad is trying to calm her down saying, "Listen, let's not lose our heads. The chances of this being a real family member aren't good, so let's not get our hopes up, ok?" A car pulls in the drive, but no one gets out. G goes out and sees them and tries to get M, said cousin, to stop crying hysterically and come in. He says, "M, these are good people. It's ok. Let's get you in to meet them, and we'll sort everything out, ok?" You'll understand why she's crying a little later in this post.
So, when she finally gets the courage to walk in the house, she sees my dad, and it wouldn't be an understatement to say that hysteria got the better of everyone. She actually looks like my dad. After big Greek hugs, wailing, squirting tears, more hugs, they all sit down to try to sort things out. Again, my dad isn't 100% convinced. He pulls out the official family paper he'd gotten earlier at the town hall. M looks at it, and almost faints. It is true. They are related.
Not only are they related, but they are first cousins. My dad's father and M's father were brothers! We've always known about M's father, Uncle N, we even have pictures. But we never knew he had a daughter or whatever happened to Uncle N. All family contact was lost.
After everyone composes themselves, M says, "For my whole life, I knew I had an uncle and cousins in America. My father would receive letters and photos, but suddenly they stopped. We've tried for 30 years to find you. The Red Cross even helped us. I even prayed, since I was 8 years old, that maybe one of my cousins would be the same religion as us, and it might make it easier to find each other."
My father, in tears (which is not a common occurrence), asks what religion she is. When she says the same one as my father, the wailing begins again. (We are in a Christian religion that has just 7 million people worldwide and was persecuted by Greek Orthodox in Greece.) For 35 years, my father was disowned by his mother for his religion. M was disowned by her own country for her religion. They never knew they had cousins. And here, on this unassuming random day, she receives a phone call and their lives are forever changed. But wait, it gets even better.
She invites them to her home to look at the old photos of her father's that she kept. They go to her home, and she pulls the photo album out and says, "I do not know who many of the people are in the photos, except I know which one is your father." When she opens the photo album, there are some of the same photos we have in our old photo albums! There are photos of my dad's father, and...my dad's two older sisters! My dad is overcome with emotion, as this is a very familiar photo of his dad and sisters. He turns the photo over, and there is his dad's writing. He cannot believe that here in this little house, on this little island, in this stranger's home, there are photos of his father and sisters (who live in California and we are very close to).
Then M says, "Do you want to see the house where your father was born?....We are standing in it!" Her house. This is all too much, and they hug and sob and promise to never lose each other again.
It is at this point that I receive a phone call on my mobile. We were driving to Spain that day. My mom calls, and I thought someone was dead, because she was sobbing. When she explained they found a cousin, I was in shock. When she explained briefly the other important details, I almost fainted in the car. Then she said, "M doesn't speak English very well, but she's fluent in French. Here she is now..." So she put M on the phone. We were both sobbing and she kept saying "Je t'aime, je t'aime!" (I love you!) and she begged us to come.
When my parents flew back into Toulouse a few days later, at midnight, they were too excited to sleep. My dad unpacked the ouzo that he'd brought from Grandfather's Island, poured us all glasses of it, and proceeded to tell every scrumptious detail of the miraculous visit. The next day, he called his sisters and one of my aunt's got out her photo album. She had had this photo of a little girl that she knew was a cousin, but didn't know how or who. She scanned it, and then emailed it to us and M. M called and said, "That is me!" So, all these years, M has had photos of our family, and my aunt had a photo of M.
We found out the reason why we were never productive in our search for M. When a Greek woman marries, the spelling of her last name gets altered. In M's case, the S was dropped. And of course, she couldn't find us, because my father was using his stepdad's last name. Something he'll always regret.
You might want to know what my grandmother, the Dragon Lady, had to say about all this when she heard through the grapevine. Well, she promptly made a nasty phone call to my dad and said that it was impossible and this woman was not a family member. My dad said, "Mom, I'm the one who went thousands of miles to Dad's island, I'm the one who met her, and I'm the one who has the proof from the town hall! You've lied to me my whole life about who died, and no one died when and where you said they did."
My parents, M and her husband, all speak twice a day on Skype. I talk to her too as much as I can. She is a lovely person, who cries every time we speak because she can't believe what a miracle this is. Her English has vastly improved, and we are all beginning to learn Greek. My parents just bought their tickets to go back for an entire month. And then M and her husband will come here in July! All my aunts will come, and we'll have a very emotional, aka very Greek, family reunion.
PS. I showed her my hairy arms on the webcam and asked her if this was typical Greek Girl stuff. She laughed so hard she almost fell out of her chair. Then assured me..."yes, you are a true Greek woman!"

1. More mortgage restrictions to come
With Ottawa paring down its mortgage exposure, the Bank of Canada estimating up to 30 per cent overvaluation in Canada's housing market, over-indebted consumers and average home prices incessantly breaking records, policy makers will restrict the mortgage market yet again. New limits on government-backed mortgage funding will make it more expensive for lenders to fund mortgages, or new underwriting rules will make it harder to qualify for a mortgage. Maybe both.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. -- It's no secret that high school kids have a hard time getting going in the morning.
After hearing from thousands of parents, students in the Cherry Creek School District could be changing their alarm clocks next school year. The district is the fourth largest in the state with more than 55,000 students
"Getting up at 5 or 6 a.m. to catch the buses is really early for students and it's really tiring," said Jaela Richardson, a student at Cherry Creek High who was sitting at a Starbucks near the school.
Those buses would start running later for high school and middle school student under the proposed changes.
Currently, high schools start at 7:10 a.m., middle schools between 7:50 a.m. and 8:10 a.m., and elementary schools at 9 a.m. Under the proposed changes, elementary schools would start at 7:55 a.m., high schools at 8:15 a.m. and middle schools at 8:50 a.m.
"I usually don't always finish my homework the day before," said sixth-grader Caroline Pemberton, who was shopping with her dad.
"Having more time in the morning, that will be good for her," he said.
"It matches what kids' bodies need to be most successful that has been overwhelmingly supported," said Scott Siegfried, the Cherry Creek associate superintendent for educational operations.
After nearly two years of study, the district asked parents to weigh in on shifting older kids' start time to about an hour later and younger kids about an hour earlier.
"Overwhelmingly, over 73 percent of those families told us that this is something we needed to do something about. We needed to fix this issue," Siegfried said.
"She'll be able to, I guess, sleep in a little bit. She has trouble getting up in the morning, so that's good. I think it maybe helps with their studying," said Tim Butler, who was shopping with his daughter Brynn.
"Usually, I have to go to bed late because of the amount of homework I have and sports, so if you're an athlete, it's even harder," Cherry Creek basketball player Jana Van Gytenbeek said.
Because of budget constraints during the recession, the district shifted older kids to earlier start times. But research shows those students were more inclined to sleep in class and to get into accidents.
Research also shows high school-aged kids who get a good sleep perform better not only on the athletic field but in the classroom.
But the district admits it might force some juggling for some parents.
"We're actually going to open our middle schools up at 8, which is our current start time, so parents can drop their kids off and go in the cafeteria. They'll be supervised. They can eat breakfast and do homework," Siegfried said.
"Because of the later time, we'll get out of school later and that pushes after-school activities back, but that's really the only negative comment," said Jaela Richardson, who plays basketball at Cherry Creek.
"For parents too because like it'll be easier for them to get their kids to school before work and all that stuff and pick them up after, and I think it will be easier for everyone," Brynn Butler said.

5 Hours with GTA 5
After impatiently waiting for weeks, watching gameplay trailer after trailer and staring lovingly at glorious screen shots, it's finally here, the Magna Carta Holy Grail (except this one is actually good) of video games, Grand Theft Auto V.
The civilian killing, car stealing, stripper slapping, no good doing game your mother absolutely despises is finally here. However, despite all the negative attention the Grand Theft Auto series garners, GTA V is much more than that. It's more than just a big bundle of controversy that'd make Miley Cyrus look like Hannah Montana again; it's also a satirical social observation of the American culture. The game is a reflection of the average American citizen struggling through the economic strife of the recession-hit times, juggling sociological observations around a dark and well-written story. It's an experience unlike anything else and although it gets its reputation on the senseless violence and its perverse nature, it is much more than that and can only be truly understood by playing it. It seems like its all sex, drugs and rock and roll at Rockstar Games, but getting past a superficial observation, they have created a crowning video game achievement.
I picked up GTAV at my local Gamestop first thing Tuesday morning and after ogling at it like a Kate Upton centerfold for the 15-minute ride home, I finally had it all to myself. After tearing at the packaging like a rabid badger, I noticed there were two discs in the case. WARNING: in order to play GTAV, you'll need to have 8 gigabytes of storage free to install the game. If you don't than you'll need to work some magic because you won't be able to play it and the sheer level of frustration will make you contemplate sticking your head in the oven. I personally used an external hard drive for the game's memory and after about a 15-minute install, I was ready to begin the video game experience of a lifetime. *I promise to keep any and all major spoilers to a minimum for those who still haven't played it yet.*
Hour 1
From the very moment I cautiously placed Disc 2 of GTAV into my Xbox 360 I knew I was in for an experience. Instead of allowing you to gently ease into the gameplay you're dropped right into the action, as the opening scene is you robbing a bank, with a few other characters. Unlike most video game tutorials, this one doesn't suck. In fact it doesn't feel like a tutorial at all because you get lost in the gameplay. Rockstar brought out all the big guns on GTAV and it paid off. The cinematics alone are incredible as cut scenes are captivating and well scripted.
The heist sequence teaches you the gameplay basics from participating in firefights to character switching, one of the many additions to the gameplay, and driving. Character movement is smooth and the aiming feels improved. It's similar to GTAIV with the auto aim feature, but cleaner. You'll have a few chances to drive early in the tutorial and the vehicle controls feel tight and responsive, unlike GTAIV where it felt like you were driving on ice the entire game. The opening credits eventually came on and I sat in amazement of the experience I just purchased. The early portions of the game have given a few glimpses of the main characters and we get an idea of their general attitudes and nature. The writing was very well done and the dialogue feels human, an aspect many games miss out on. Conversations are great to listen to and the script is full of dark humor and vulgarity.
Hooker Kill Counter: 0. My opportunities have minimal so far.
Hour 2
I've come to realize that stopping what I'm doing and writing down my reactions is one of the toughest things I've ever done as a writer and I've covered court cases and written obituaries before, so that alone speaks to the epic nature of GTAV. I spent a majority of this hour as Franklin, one of the three main playable characters in the game and got to explore his neighborhood. There were some generic missions in the early stages, which included street racing, towing vehicles with a tow truck – which has an impressive physics engine might I add - and kidnapping a rival gangster.
The sheer variety of missions is what keeps the game from becoming monotonous and even the most mundane of tasks feels exciting and new. Each mission also introduced new characters that came with hilarious dialogue and some memorable moments. A majority of the conversations revolve around money and class status, which is a small piece of the satirical nature of GTAV. As you meet new people you get to learn more about the main characters through their dialogue and interactions, which makes you feel like you truly know who Franklin is, despite him being a completely fictional character. The RPG element from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas has made a welcome return into GTAV, allowing you to improve your respective characters' strength, stamina, stealth, driving and lung capacity amongst a few others skills. The second hour has given me an inkling into the sheer amount of depth GTA V has to offer.
Hooker Kill Counter: Still 0. I have been merciful to the ladies of the night.
Hour 3
In my third hour I abandoned the story mode and spent my time freely roaming the city, arguably one of the most entertaining aspects of the Grand Theft Auto series. As lame as it sounds, one of the first things I did was just climb a building and look around. I was in awe of my surroundings. The fictional city of Los Santos (Los Angeles) is absolutely breathtaking. It's a graphical masterpiece. It's almost overwhelming how it feels like a living, breathing city. The attention to detail is spectacular, as no neighborhood looks the same. Minor details like jumping out of the water and noticing that your clothes are soaking wet is as astounding as it is simple. Even just seeing the leftover scratches on your character's face from that car accident you got into before you popped into the barbershop to get a fresh cut and a shave.
The amount of sound in this game is just stupefying. Whether it's the noise of Los Santos traffic or the random AI interactions, it sounds freakishly real. When I was walking through the park I caught a guy on his cell phone talking to an employee at a pet store and complaining that they sold him a gay dog. And if that's not enough for you, the soundtrack of GTAV is eclectic and carefully selected. Whether it's West Coast classics like Snoop Dogg's Gin And Juice, contemporary hip-hop like Kendrick Lamar's A.D.H.D. or rock classics like sir Elton John's Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, the soundtrack has something for everyone and GTAV does an impeccable job of having the music follow you on your journey.
Hooker Kill Counter: 6. In hour three I finally got some guns and money and in classic Grand Theft Auto fashion, let's just say some shit went down in Franklin's hood.
Hour 4
After getting some senseless violence out of my system I returned to the story mode, but not before I had my first random encounter. It turns out crime between the AI is a factor in the game and you can choose to intervene or watch it go down. After spotting a woman getting her purse snatched I chose to work as a vigilante. Like the Good Samaritan I am, I stole a nearby mountain bike, pedaled after the lawless individual and proceeded to do a drive by with a pistol on my bike, putting more bullets in him than 50 Cent. After stopping the criminal you get to choose if you want to keep the stolen money or return it to the owner, just one of many moral decisions you'll make in the game.
Some brief citizen police work made me want to learn more about what I can do in the game so I decided to advance the story. One of the biggest additions to the game is the ability to switch characters. Once you have unlocked the playable characters in the game, you can switch between them at anytime with the press of a button, whether it's during a mission or in free roam, you'll be switched over to that character, wherever they are on the map and get dropped right into whatever they're doing. This element adds an extra level of depth to the gameplay because it allows you to play missions from different perspectives, whether you're the guy driving, the guy in the passenger's seat shooting out the window, or the character sniping enemies from a distance. It allows you to play the game however you want and gives you a few options on how you personally want to play a mission. Also another improved mission factor is the checkpoint system, which allows you to pick up right around where you die so that you don't have to frustratingly drive across the city again and again when you fail the mission.
Hooker Kill Counter: 8. They shouldn't be working the corners while I'm in a high-speed car chase. I tend to take shortcuts on the sidewalks.
Hour 5
As the documentation of my first few hours of gameplay comes to a close, I've realized something fascinating about the sheer magnitude of Grand Theft Auto V. For as much as I think I've done in five hours, I haven't even come close to scratching the surface on this game. I've barely explored the massive world and I'm just in the beginning stages of the story. Just as you think you've have accomplished something major, GTAV hits you with another reminder that you haven't seen anything yet. The story is menacingly charming and the ability to control several characters causes their individual stories to intertwine seamlessly. It makes you care about the world you've created, more so than any of its predecessors.
When it comes to depth, GTAV is like the Mariana Trench. Customization is everything from the clothes your character wears, to the tricked out additions to your whip to the countless weapon modifications, the combinations are seemingly endless. Not to mention that the variety is also through the roof as you can drive anything from jet planes, to muscle cars, to mountain bikes and even a submarine. As a matter of fact, you can go swimming in the ocean and get eaten by a shark (a quick 5 achievement points for anyone trying to do their best Samuel L. Jackson impersonation). The landscapes vary from the concrete jungle, to the rich suburbs, to large open areas of the surrounding forests and you'll want to explore every square inch of them all. And if that's not enough, the game even has its own economy and players can invest in stocks and check their bank accounts at ATM's.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention, this mother-loving game has cross-platform multiplayer too. It just doesn't get better than this.
As I frantically finish this article, fiending for more GTA like a crack head going through withdrawals, I'll let it be known that Grand Theft Auto V is hands down one of the greatest achievements in video game history. Rockstar did a phenomenal job creating a game that is nearly flawless in every way imaginable. It is more of an experience than it is a game and should not be missed out on. If the first five hours are this implausibly spectacular, I can't wait to find out what's in store for me next. However you rank it, 5/5, two thumbs up, or an A+, GTA V is the game of the year and one of the best times you'll have playing a video game.

When asked what legal changes distressed neighborhoods need, Paul Dodds submitted this essay
Whose private property rights deserve more protection? Deadbeats'? Or their taxpaying neighbors'?
Today, the deck is stacked for the deadbeats.
The cruel fact is that irresponsible, private owners steal the equity of thousands of taxpayers, who watch helplessly while their homes devalue, thanks to their neighbors' neglect.
Until the state and cities have effective tools to protect law-abiding neighbors against abdicating owners, the quiet pillage will continue.
Little Rock alone has approximately 7,000 former house lots, all still served by utilities, roads, schools, police and fire protection. Many of the missing houses were razed at city expense.
More than 700 existing homes have been declared unsafe and vacant. Many more could be added to the list.
While some of these houses are irreparable, many others could be salvaged. But if irresponsible owners make themselves scarce, properties can languish for years, while the owners face no effective penalties.
Last year, City Director Joan Adcock re-focused attention on the problem by forming a Land Bank Working Group to foster re-investment in vacant properties. The group is developing legislative proposals for dealing with difficult neighbors.
According to Frank Alexander, former acting dean of Emory Law School and advisor to the group, Arkansas's tax foreclosure procedure is among the slowest in the nation, and even at that it fails to provide would-be purchasers with clear titles.
In Arkansas, it can take seven years from the time a property is declared delinquent until it is freed for sale. Even then, new owners may still have to wait years before all claims from former owners have expired.
In other states, where laws have been revised, problem urban properties can be sold — with clear titles — in as little as two years.
Arkansas's laws are antiquated and can curse purchasers who need insurance or standard financing. When near-worthless properties pose such tough legal problems, those properties tend to collapse further.
Proposed legislation would encourage deadbeat owners to become responsible neighbors. If they did not, and continued to flout tax laws or building codes, the state would be able to foreclose, move the properties to a "land bank," and transfer them to more responsible owners.
The legislative package that would accomplish this has been endorsed in principle by the Arkansas Municipal League, the Arkansas Coalition of Housing for Neighborhood Growth and Empowerment (ACHANGE) and the Arkansas Association of Realtors.
Until cities have the tools they need to own and resell vacant and abandoned properties, we will all continue to pay the bill for abdicating owners.

Underwood next Illini basketball coach
CHAMPAIGN — The search for the next Illinois men's basketball coach is over. Illinois hired Oklahoma State's Brad Underwood on Saturday afternoon a week after firing John Groce. A source close to the program said Underwood will be retaining assistant coach Jamall Walker, who is currently leading the Illini in the NIT as interim coach.
Welcome Coach Brad Underwood! #WeWillWin #ILLINI pic.twitter.com/9yqLI0Ce1x
— Josh Whitman (@IlliniAD) March 18, 2017
"In searching for a new coach, we were looking for a proven winner who would build upon our proud tradition while developing an unmistakable identity for Illinois basketball," Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman said in a release. "Brad's teams play a fast, aggressive style and show unyielding toughness. They have a tremendous energy that I believe will ignite the Orange Krush and our fans to once again make State Farm Center one of the most intimidating venues in all of college basketball.
"Off the court, Brad builds strong, personal relationships with his student-athletes. His winning combination of strong Midwest values and tenacious work ethic are a perfect fit for our community and the Illini Nation."
A source close to the program confirmed that Underwood will receive a six-year contract at more than $3 million per season, although full contract details have not been finalized.
His five-year contract at Oklahoma State was set to pay him $6.3 million for the duration — $1 million for this past season with raises to $1.6 million by 2020-21.
Underwood was one of the hotter coaching names last season having led Stephen F. Austin to a 28-6 record and third straight NCAA tournament appearance in 2015-16.
He just didn't stay on the coaching carousel long. Barely more than 24 hours after the 14th-seeded Lumberjacks lost in the second round to Notre Dame, Underwood was named Oklahoma State's new coach with the Cowboys having parted ways with Travis Ford after eight seasons.
Underwood's stay in Stillwater, Okla., ended up being short, too. After a 20-13 season and first round loss to Michigan in the NCAA tournament, Underwood is moving on to Illinois.
On the plane and headed to #ILLINI country! ETA 5:00pm. Come meet your new coach, #ILLINI! The future is bright! pic.twitter.com/EVlFTTkKph
— Josh Whitman (@IlliniAD) March 18, 2017
"Coaching basketball at the University of Illinois is a once-in-lifetime opportunity," Underwood said. "The players, fans and administration at Oklahoma State have been absolutely incredible, and I want to thank them for the support they've given me and my family over the last year. However, during my time at Western Illinois, I always saw the Illinois coaching job as one of the truly best in the nation."
Underwood compiled an 89-14 record in three seasons at Stephen F. Austin and lost just one game in Southland Conference action in his first head coaching job. Underwood got the Stephen F. Austin job after 18 seasons as an assistant and seven as a junior college head coach.
Underwood played at Hardin-Simmons for two seasons and Kansas State for his final two before graduating in 1986. He was the Dodge City Community College coach from 1988 through 1992 before spending the next 10 seasons on Jim Kerwin's coaching staff at Western Illinois.
Underwood then returned to his alma mater, coaching for one season at Kansas State under Bob Huggins and five more under Martin. He followed Martin to South Carolina for the 2012-13 season before taking the job at Stephen F. Austin.
Can't wait for all 3 aliases to show up and comment on this.
Who cares what the negative posters say. Henson said this guy is a great coach, that's good enough for me. If he can keep aast coach Walker and the 2016 recruits and seal the deal on Smith we could see a quick turnaround,
Who cares what the negative posters say. Henson said this guy is a great coach, that's good enough for me. If he can keep aast coach Walker and the 2016 recruits and seal the deal on Smith we could see a quick turnaround,
Here goes... again, facts.
One year ago today, Underwood was a head coach in the SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE
His exposure in Illinois is based on 11 years as an Assistant at Western Illinois
Underwood has been a Power 5 head coach for 362 days and went .500 in the Big XII with someone Travis Ford's players. Oklahoma State had made the NCAA Tournament 3 out of the last 4 years before dumping Travis Ford last March after a 12-20 / 3-15 record. This year Underwood got them back to the NCAAs after a 1 year absence, went 20-13, 9-9 - more or less the same as the Illini under Groce this year, but the Big XIII is a lesser league than the Big Ten.
For all of the talk about paying 4.8M and getting a big name, just like when Groce was hired, Illinois did not go out and spend big to get a big name, proven coach.
Not calling this a whiff, but it's obvious to me that Whitman prioritizes football over basketball in terms of $$$ and in terms of going after a name.
One week to do a search to land a guy who went .500 in the 7th best league is not a home run to me.
Time will tell.
"but the Big XIII is a lesser league than the Big Ten"
Not so sure about that. Took a look at the latest AP Top 25 rankings and Big 12 has Kansas (3), Baylor (12), West Virginia (13), Iowa State (16). Big 10 has Purdue (15), Michigan (23), and Wisconsin (25). It will be interesting to see how each conference is represented in the Sweet 16.
None of your aliases would recognize a fact if it was placed directly in front of you.
CNH AND Bwp, could you try to actually write something interesting instead of your insistence in indulging in a fallacious premise?
Hoping for the new hire works out. Go Illini.
Oops, I'm cheerleading.
The Haters must not be aware yet! Waiting to hear about him being our 14th pick........and how many others turned us down. I mean.......apparently, they're all "in the know"!!
How much did Illinois spend to get Underwood out of his contract at Oklahoma State? I wonder how long he'll stay here.
Until he gets fired or quits is my guess. He has just landed. Give him a chance.
Well, I'm underwhelmed.
But I expected to be underwhelmed, for it is not a great job, and in no way were we going to get a "home run," coach - especially not with the Indiana job open. IMO our only home run hope was Monty Williams, and he did not want it.
But, truly, the home run decision won't really be made for at least a year or two, and maybe Underwood will turn our to have been one. I hope so.
The key question is: CAN HE RECRUIT?
I really wanted to see an assistant get it, another Chris Collins, etc., with Jamall Walker heading my list - simply because I think he is well qualified and my familiarity with other possible assistants is zilch.
In any event I'm behind Underwood 100%, but if he does not pan out, Whitman really screwed up, not in firing Groce, but in not promoting Walker, whom I think would have been just as promising as Underwood.
I hope, for Underwood's sake, if nothing else, that he can at least keep this recruiting class, if not he will be off on the wrong foot. Getting Mark Smith also, would be a huge step in the right direction. Those two goals should be the only thing on his plate right now, if they aren't, he was a mistake - but I'm sure he knows that, he better.
At least Whitman did not waste time.
P.S. To those posters who are having a kindergarten girl cat fight, whose posts clutter this up with stuff I have to ignore. ARE YOU PEOPLE SICK? DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT NOBODY READS, OR WANTS TO READ, YOUR CRAPOLA?
It's an interesting choice and could work. However, I said the same thing when Lou Henson was hired and that turned out pretty good.
Any relative of Frank Underwood is welcome at Illinois. If he has a brother that could run for Speaker of the Illinois House, I would vote for him, too.
Wow... that picture above says it all... White Privilege on a private plane in all its glory .... all white folk in a sport that is mostly black... making millions off these black players while giving them peanuts in return .... and not a single person of color is even considered.... Champaign IL is the definition of the new movie Get Out .... Use and Abuse black men for your entertainment pleasure... while giving nothing back in return ... #Disgust.
That's it, go ahead and keep that attitude. That's going help you really go places. And you know not a single person of color was considered, How? They have interviewed and offered in the past.I had never heard of Underwood before because other than Illini I don't follow college bkbll that closely anymore. But Coach Underwood sounds like a great fit, with a plan and a great attitude--dissimilar to yours.I'm pretty sure the best decision is to hire the best candidate you can, not base the decision on what race he or she happens to be.
Oh, I don't know. The flight attendant could have been "of color", and the picture also doesn't show all the seats on the plane. Maybe someone "of color" was taking the picture. How much of a "privilege" is it to be working on Saturday? Apparently you must think flying on a plane is a joy ride instead of a necessary function of work. I personally hate flying, and do not consider it a privilege whether commercial or private - and I have done plenty of both.
So, what you are saying is that all the scholarships and opportunities provided to black men thru basketball are an insult and, since you consider it use and abuse, they should find more like Michael Finke and Maverick Morgan to use and abuse and make their millions off of? I am sure you could find many people to agree with your racist point of view...#Ignorance.
Clearly as a person of White Privelege you cannot see what is obvious . They probably did make an offer to a person of color but the Stepford Attitudes of the white power elite in Champaign/Urbana is such that living in CU as a black man is an experience that only those who promise to obey and keep their mouth shut are willing to endure ... as for those " benefits" the atheletes get ... $50k in tuition/housing max and you have to graduate in 4 years or pay the balance out of pocket to graduate ... while the University and its benefactors/coaches make million$ per year off the efforts of young black men ... it's legalized pimping that's for sure ... Go see the movie Get Out and you will see Champaign Urbana in the mirror .... the truth may hurt but it ain't racist....I couldn't help but laugh at the Finke reference, he couldn't play on any B10 team except the good ole boy U of I.
That's the same plane that Lovie flew into town on a year ago.
With the hiring of basketball coach Brad Underswwod, has anything been decided as far as asst. coaches yet? Typically, a new hire head coach will bring his previous assts. with him. All well and good. There's also been a lot of talk that the U of I needs to once again bring some of the top ranked players from the Chicago area. How about a past U of I player, from the Chicago area, was ranked as the #1 high school player in the country, also played in the NBA, and has been coaching high school basketball in Sarasota, Florida, for the past few years. Marcus Liberty, is currently head basketball coach at Out of Door Academy and has the Chicago connection which may able to influence some of the elite Chicago area players into coming to Champaign-Urbana. Recruiting Chicago area players doesn't seem to have been successful in the past few years. This could be a successful addition.

Mark's Story
Unbroken by blindness in 1998, Mark went on to compete in ultra endurance races across deserts, mountains, and the polar ice caps including being the first blind person to race to the South Pole.
In 2010 he was left paralysed after falling from a second story window. Now, Mark is exploring the intersection where humans and technology collide.
Acknowledged as an expert in resilience, innovation and collaboration, Mark says "The reason to bring in a speaker is to move the audience emotionally. It can never be about the speaker, rather it must be about engaging the audience to help them achieve more than they thought possible – that is what I aim to do every time."
As Mark lay in hospital after his paralysing fall in 2010, he read The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. The book is about individuals who have, through their injuries or their work or both, progressed neuroscience in really incredible ways. Mark began to see how he could use what he knew from his old life as an adventure athlete competing in what was uncharted terrain for a blind man, and apply it to his exploration of a cure for paralysis.
Mark provided a powerful perspective to the assembled media at Davos. Mark doesn't just talk about the transformative intersection of technology and humankind – he lives it. As he explores a cure for paralysis, he helped people understand the human dimension of the fourth industrial revolution at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting.Head of Public Engagement & Foundations
It was a privilege to have Mark address both our customers and our Management Team at Google. He delivers that rare combination of inspiration, perspective and practical insight that forces his audience to really reflect on how they rise to their personal challenges and set goals that seem unachievable. He delivers his message in a deeply personal, humorous and memorable way that lands with his audience. It was a pleasure for all of us to spend time in his company. Inspiring.Regional Director, Northern Europe

In 1785, Washington appeared before the General Assembly in Virginia to further his plans for internal improvements in the Commonwealth. At his insistence, the James River Company was incorporated and he was voted the first president. Since George Washington had duties relative to the C&O Canal along the Potomac River, Edmund Randolph became the acting president. The trustees were authorized and empowered to take and receive subscriptions to carry out the purpose of clearing the falls and construct canals, and build locks, if necessary. The James River Company having successfully raised the necessary funds to begin their work. They increased traffic by improving the riverbed, blasting through rock ledges, deepening the channel, clearing downed trees and building a seven mile canal around the dangerous falls above Richmond continuing up another twenty miles to Maiden's Adventure.Virginia led in the adoption of the Constitution as it had in the revolution. George Washington presided over the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. The "Virginia Plan for the Union" submitted by its delegation became the basis of the convention's work, and James Madison was perhaps the most effective member of the convention. Virginia's own ratification of the resulting document was, however, bitterly contested by the western small farmers group under Patrick Henry's leadership, and came through by only a narrow margin on June 25, 1788, after commitments had been made to submit a bill of rights as a series of amendments. Jefferson's election in 1800 initiated a quarter century of control of the presidency by the "Virginia dynasty" (Jefferson, Madison and Monroe) and fixed their liberal agricultural programs firmly in American political tradition. The people and policies of Tidewater Virginia allowed for rapid expansion of the new nation as well as recognition of business ventures to take advantage of available resources. Being at the center of thirteen colonies probably helped considerably. Trade, and information, passed through the key former colonial port towns. The community that began as Jamestown and grew into Williamsburg became the center of the nation for a time. It was not long before the ports further north on the Atlantic coast began to overshadow those of Virginia.
