We've seen celebrities like Lauren Conrad wear hers in a gentle, sophisticated line, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, Amy Winehouse wore it ultra-heavy in the corners. This look is a '50s inspired style which is coming back in a major way. Check out eight different types off eye flicks and tell me which elongated liner look you love the most!

ou've got questions—we've got answers! Here's how it works—each week, our Community Manager will be scouring all available sources to find whatever questions you're asking. We'll pick three of them for R&D to answer, whether about the about the making of the game, the technical workings of our DDI studio, or anything else you care to know about... with some caveats.
There are certain business and legal questions we can't answer (for business and legal reasons). And if you have a specific rules question, we'd rather point you to Customer Service, where representatives are ready and waiting to help guide you through the rules of the game. That said, our goal is provide you with as much information we can—in this and other venues.
How do you plan to improve Solo monsters in D&D Next?
There have always been some monsters in D&D that are meant to fight the party alone (at least, the first time you encounter them), so it's a safe bet that the kinds of monsters we refer to as "solo monsters" in 4E have a strong place in the future of the game. Right now, when it comes to monsters, we're looking to build each monster to provide the best expression of that monster's traditional experience, and in many cases that means squaring off against the heroes without any other creatures in the mix.
As far as "improving solo monsters" goes, there are some things we have learned over the course of the last few years that are vulnerabilities that can plague solo monsters; being taken out of the fight by conditions like daze/stun/dominate, or lasting too long so the fight starts to drag, running out of tricks to pull, being challenging for the DM to run, etc. However, not all of these are exclusively monster issues, and some can be solved by changing things elsewhere in the game. For example, if we used something like the "hit points as a threshold for affecting monsters" mechanic that Mike described for "save or die" spells in a recent Legends & Lore column, we can cut down on some of the challenges solos face because of conditions. We're looking at generally increasing the speed of combat overall and finding ways to streamline monsters while still making the experience of fighting them exciting, both of which will impact solo monsters, not to mention all other kinds of monsters, too.
Can you give us any more insight into the multiclassing goals for D&D Next?
As with many, many other things, we're just in the earliest stages of design and testing on this, but here's what we have in mind. When you gain a level, you can choose any class and gain a level in that class, much in the same way that it functioned in 3rd Edition. Of course, those of you who play or played 3E know that there can sometimes be issues with this, and if you aren't careful you can build a character that struggles with effectiveness at higher levels. However, there's a lot of good that comes out of this system, including organic character growth, expansive character building options without the need for large swathes of material, and the ability to express your character's specialties through a unique mix of classes.
While there are certainly challenges with this system, a few other changes in the game make it more viable in the next iteration. As I mentioned last week, we're looking at a bounded accuracy system where accuracy (of everything, from attacks to spells) does not automatically go up with level. The discrepancies in base attack bonus between classes in 3E made some multiclassing combinations more difficult to pull off; absent those discrepancies, with the right ability score mix, the fighter and wizard classes mix together without that difficulty. Another thing we're looking at is the way we word certain abilities, making sure that disparate classes work well together. For example, instead of the fighter having to spend a single action to make multiple attacks, we might say that the extra attacks that the fighter gains as he gains levels are effectively free actions that the fighter takes on his turn. Thus, if my fighter/wizard picked up an extra attack through his levels of fighter, he might be able to cast a spell as his main action and then still get his extra attack, giving him the benefit of all of his class levels.
While this isn't the complete list of all the things we need to do to help make multiclassing flexible and easy, it's an example of the kinds of things we're looking at doing because of what we've learned from the good things and the challenges of previous versions of the game. And, of course, it may turn out to be just one option among several for how multiclassing works in the next version of the game.
I love the Burst, Blast and Area spells in 4th ED, but I have to admit that I have been secretly praying you guys would bring back my beloved Cone and Line spells. Will you guys be bringing those effects back to mages near me?
Right now, the design of the game does not assume by default that you are using a battlemat and miniatures when adjudicating combat, and as such we feel confident that spells like cone of cold could be cones, and lightning bolt could be a line, without having too many problems. However, when we present the rules for using a grid for combat, we're going to want to present ways to convert those spells into the more grid-friendly areas like bursts and blasts. We can also present the grid-based versions of bursts, cones, lines, etc. found in the 3.5 Edition of the game. Moreover, we don't even have to limit ourselves to a square grid, and could present the rules for playing on a hex grid too, allowing each group to determine what fits their needs best.
How can I submit a question to the Rule-of-Three?
Instead of a single venue to submit questions, our Community Manager will be selecting questions from our message boards, Twitter feed, and Facebook account. You can also submit questions directly to email@example.com. So, if you'd like to have your question answered in the Rule-of-Three, just continue to participate in our online community—and we may select yours!

Brasil! Young Surf Team Ripper Caio Ibelli Crowned with ASP World Junior Title
The future of global surfing is here.
Meet Caio Ibelli, Oakley's Brazilian Team ripper, and the newly crowned ASP World Junior Champion.
The young gun claimed the illustrious title at the Billabong World Junior Championships in dramatic fashion, knocking off previous title front-runner Garret Parkes in a Surf-Off, after Parkes was taken out in the event's Quarterfinals (resulting in an overall standings tie).
As the Surf-Off commenced, it was Caio to begin racking up the points with a collection of minor scores. But he wouldn't leave anything to chance.
An epic wave found Caio – allowing him to throw down solid carves and a massive air-reverse for a big 8.67 score (out of 10) and the big triumph.
"I'm so stoked to bring the ASP World Junior Title back to Brazil!" Caio said, rocking his Oakley Holbrooks, boardshorts, rash guard and gear. "I feel so amazing now! I didn't know I had another opportunity to win, I just found out this morning. I want to thank my family, my friends and Oakley for their support. Garrett (Parkes) is a good surfer and he's at home in Australia so I knew I had to do my best."
His feat throws him into an awesome list of former ASP World Junior Champions – which includes fellow Oakley Brazilian rider and current WCT Star Adriano de Souza.
Congratulations to Caio – from the entire Oakley Global Family!

a Peek at a new IMAX film and
experience life in the pilot's seat of an F-15 Eagle
"Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag"
is the ultimate aerial combat experience
Aug. 19 - 22
Tenn. (Aug. 9, 2005) – Suit up and settle in to the cockpit
of the F-15E Strike Eagle, considered by many to be the greatest
fighter aircraft ever built as audiences are invited to a special
showing of the IMAX film, "Fighter Pilot: Operation Red
film follows a young F-15 fighter pilot through Red Flag, the
final training phase before pilots are sent into actual combat.
is the closest an audience will ever get to flying in the middle
of a massive air combat operation," said Stephen Low, director/producer.
Stratton is a young American fighter pilot who flies the F-15
Eagle, arguably the most potent and successful fighter plane ever
built. His grandfather was a decorated World War II flying ace,
and he intended to follow in his footsteps.
Red Flag, the international training exercise for air forces of
allied countries, many of the world's best pilots meet for
the most challenging flying of their careers. Red Flag is the
final training for pilots and their aircrews before being sent
into actual combat. Viewers follow Stratton as he makes his way
through this extraordinary event held in the desert of Nevada.
He is amazed at how complex, challenging and dangerous the exercises
begins to notice team members who were not a part of his childhood
vision of heroism, the support team crucial to a successful mission,
and to a safe return home. In the aerial combat exercises, there
are other pilots who aren't out just to prove themselves;
they are helping him -- watching his back. And he is doing the
same for them. He begins to realize that being a hero is not quite
as simple as he once might have thought.

Got Stock? Here's Where Some Seers Are Saying You Should Be in 2014
Posted by Brad Kava (Editor) ,
If you've had money invested in the stock market during 2013, your portfolio has probably provided some bounce to your step most mornings this past year.
Five years into a bull market that continues, the Dow Jones Industrial averages rose more than 25 percent since the beginning of last year.
So what are the financial gurus saying about 2014?
Most Fed watchers expect the central bank to begin cutting back its $85-billion-per-month bond-buying program in the first quarter, a subject the market has been skittish about every time the subject is broached in the media.
Jeremy Siegel, a professor of finance at Wharton says The Dow Jones Industrial Average could possibly soar over 21,000 next year. "Nothing is a slam-dunk, as we know," Siegel told CNBC, "but certainly (it's) looking far more favorable now than it did six months ago."
Bruce Upbin of Forbes speculates on the best tech stocks to buy for the coming year for growth and value. Upbin suggests considering Synchronoss Technologies as one of his top picks.
And how about Jim Cramer? The Mad Money host gives some thought to "something brand new and astoundingly positive -- an atmosphere in Washington that's not as poisonous." Cramer analyzes 30 top stocks in three separate articles, and concludes AT&T continues to struggle against Verizon, that Intel has a terrific balance sheet, and speculates how much money JP Morgan could earn "if the bank were able to focus on being a bank rather, than on being a pinata of the Justice Department."
Yet, be careful with your stock investments. That's the advice of MarketWatch writer Paul Farrell. Farrell believes there is a 98 percent chance the market will crash in 2014, saying after the "irrational exuberance of the "Christmas rally" passes, reality will set in.

2 Believed Killed In Maryville Missouri House Blast
This is where I live. My parents house rocked.....and the explosion was loud enough that their dog wanted to get her happy ass back in the house pretty quick......and they live 15 blocks away.
I went over and assisted with traffic control some.....but not much more one could do. 2 were killed. A Mother in her 90s and her son in his 40s........The other son walked away and was flown by helicopter for treatment
2 Believed Killed In Maryville House Blast
Cause Of Explosion Under Investigation
MARYVILLE, Mo. -- Two people are believed dead after a house explosion Wednesday night that was so strong it was felt at nearby Northwest Missouri State University's Bearcat Arena while the men's basketball team was playing Missouri Western.
Keith Wood, Maryville's public safety director, said three people -- a woman in her 90s, a son in his late 40s and another son in his mid-50s -- were inside when the blast was reported around 9 p.m.
Neighbors found the younger son crawling out of the debris. He was transported to St. Francis Hospital in Maryville and later transferred to Heartland Regional Medical Center in St. Joseph.
Woods described his injuries as "very serious," and said he was "in and out of consciousness."
Wood said it is believed all three occupants of the house were in the same room at the time of the blast. He said rescue workers could see the body of one person -- most likely the woman -- and they believed they would find the man nearby.
Names of the victims were not immediately released.
The house, which is in an older neighborhood a few blocks south of the campus, was leveled. Wood said he did not know what caused the explosion, though he suggested it might have been the result of a natural gas leak.
"We do not suspect anything criminally suspicious at this time," Wood said.
He said the state fire marshal would assist in the investigation.
The explosion was heard and felt throughout Maryville.
"I felt it shake. It rattled for a second or two," said Chad Waller, sports information director for Northwest Missouri State. "I thought it was almost a tremor, like an earthquake tremor."
A few minutes later, Waller said he smelled smoke. Then, he said someone got on the public address system during the game and said there was a fire at a nearby house and a couple streets were blocked off.
Gas leak?

Looks to be a Natural Gas leak......
I have a friend that lives 3 miles outside of town.....on a hill over looking the city....and he saw/heard it last night.....

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — Mainland Chinese stocks surged Wednesday, leading Asian markets by a big margin even as the Cyprus parliament's rejection of a European bailout plan fueled some uncertainty elsewhere.
The Shanghai Composite index /quotes/zigman/1858913/delayed CN:000001 -1.56% jumped 2.7% to 2,317.37 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/delayed HK:HSI -0.91% climbed 1%, as investors snapped up beaten-down banks and property developers in both markets.
But markets elsewhere retreated, after the Cypriot parliament rejected a proposed financial bailout plan, forcing the government and its creditors back to the negotiating table.
Cyprus parliament rejects bank deposit tax
Lawmakers in Cyprus voted against a bank-deposit levy, part of a bill required to secure an international bailout and avoid default.
"The upshot of this rejection is that the European Union and the International Monetary Fund will need to quickly come up with a more appealing bailout package to avert the impending Cypriot default," said William Leys, sales trader at CMC Markets.
"Until this happens uncertainty will continue, contagion fears will linger, and markets will likely remain under pressure," said Leys.
South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/delayed KR:SEU -0.15% declining 1%, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884/delayed AU:XJO -1.36% losing 0.4% and Taiwan's Taiex /quotes/zigman/1565586/delayed XX:Y9999 -0.53% shedding 0.5%.
Japanese markets were closed Wednesday for a holiday.

Losses in South Korea were spread across sectors, with banks and some exporters hit.

Banks and property firms helped the rebound in Hong Kong as buyers circled back into those stocks after losses suffered earlier in the week.
"With share prices of the H-share banks down 5-12% in the past month, the current risk-reward seems more favorable, provided that China's GDP growth continues to accelerate," said Deutsche Bank's banking analyst Tracy Yu. H share refers to shares of mainland Chinese companies listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
"We believe the new policy focus on cost control might help improve efficiency and profitability," she said, while raising fiscal-year net profit estimates for the sector by 4%.
Bank of Communications Co. /quotes/zigman/34374/delayed HK:3328 -1.34% /quotes/zigman/527616/delayed/quotes/nls/bcmxy BCMXY +9.92% /quotes/zigman/1875309/delayed CN:601328 -2.83% climbed 3.3% and China Construction Bank Corp. /quotes/zigman/35073/delayed HK:0939 -1.00% /quotes/zigman/529424/delayed/quotes/nls/cichy CICHY +0.33% /quotes/zigman/1876229/delayed CN:601939 0.00% rose 2.6%; in Shanghai, the stocks jumped 4.1% and 2.6%, respectively.
Chinese property developers also attracted buying, with China Vanke Co. rising 2.5% in Shenzhen, Poly Real Estate Group Co. /quotes/zigman/1873491/delayed CN:600048 -2.00% advancing 4.2% in Shanghai and China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd. /quotes/zigman/527919/delayed/quotes/nls/caovy CAOVY +3.19% /quotes/zigman/13931/delayed HK:0688 -2.31% adding 2.9% in Hong Kong.

Remember Your Beloved Pet
Last week, I noticed that he was limping and acting lethargic. I thought he had just developed arthritis, due to his age and his size. I took him to the vet and had tests done and an x-ray. The vet couldn't find anything wrong but we put him on pain meds. His bloodwork came back normal. Since then, he'd been back to his old happy self, running, jumping, etc. However, he had a couple accidents - #1 and #2 in the basement a couple days ago.
Yesterday, I got home from work and he basically wouldn't move. He refused to come downstairs to go out for his walk. This of course was very unusual; going out for his walk is his favorite thing to do! I actually had to drag him down the stairs and outside. His eyes were all glassy and he was just acting strange - slow moving, seemed unbalanced. He was panting very loud too. So I took him out and he went to the bathroom right away, and then just laid down in the grass and wouldn't walk anymore. I decided not to push him anymore so we came back inside.
He immediately laid down in the basement and refused to move. I tried to give him his medicine (the pain meds) but he wouldn't take it.
An hour or so later, I went to check on him and he was dead, laying right where I left him.
Why did he die? What happened? Did he have a stroke or a heart attack? I've researched both and both seem to be possible, but why was he limping last week? Could I have saved him??? I keep thinking that if I had taken him to the vet right away, he would still be alive. But I was told he was fine. I just thought he didn't want to walk because his joints were hurting in the cold weather. But now I am reading that panting is a sign of a heart attack, and loss of bowel control and balance are signs of a stroke, and maybe if I had known that I could have saved him. Or perhaps it was too late.
I'm so distraught. I was not expecting this at all. My heart is aching and I miss him so much already.
I hope someone can maybe explain to me what happened to my boy.
I'm sure he was happy and well loved. Try to remember him being happy on his walks.
I'm sorry for your loss.
It's hard to know for sure what happened--there are many things that could have caused his signs. Certainly the heart can have problems that would cause him to be weak, breathe hard, and eventually pass away. He might have had an abnormal heart rhythm or abnormal heart shape that caused his heart to not pump blood properly to the rest of his body or that caused him to build up fluid in his lungs.
Certainly a stroke is also possible--a lot of those dogs will have a wobbly walk, a tilted head, or more severe neurological changes. Trying to tie in the limping--dogs can have stroke-like episodes because a blood clot goes to their brain and cuts off blood supply. The same thing can happen in other parts of the body, including legs, which might have caused limping.
Another thought that I'd have is cancer. Dogs with lung cancer can sometimes develop changes in the bones of their feet (called hypertrophic osteopathy) that may cause lameness. Tumors in the chest might also explain why he was weak and panting loudly. If the X-rays you mention were of his chest, however, your veterinarian would have been able to have seen some changes there. If the X-rays were of an isolated joint, they might not have shown any changes.
Regardless, you shouldn't feel guilty. You took him to your vet, your vet prescribed medications that seemed to make him feel better. How could you have known that something else was going on? You did the right thing. Unfortunately, he had a problem that you couldn't predict and, therefore, couldn't treat. You did NOTHING wrong and only ever had Charlie's best interests at heart. I hope you are able to believe that.
I also hope that you're able to focus on the good memories and happy times you shared with Charlie. It truly will help bring you peace during this difficult time. Our thoughts will be with you.
I wanted to share something from an article on this site related to the top 10 poisons for dogs. I was very surprised to learn that number 5 on the list is veterinary pharmaceuticals. I never would have guessed this in a million years.
"Dog poison No. 5: Pet medications. Just as we can be sickened or killed by medications intended to help us, cases of pet poisoning by veterinary drugs are not uncommon. Some of the more commonly reported problem medications include painkillers and de-wormers."
The article indicated that symptoms can include gastrointestinal and neurological problems, cardiac and respiratory distress, coma and death. It made me wonder if maybe the initail problem was something as simple as a strain or sprain and the pain medication he was prescribed caused his death?
My elderly Golden mix takes multiple medications each day. One of the meds she was taking is Reglan, which promotes motility. This was after she survived bloat (like Marley in Marley & Me). Recently, I've seen on TV where there is now a class action suit against the makers of Reglan b/c it causes a neurological disorder (Punkin doesn't take it anymore).
It occurred to me that when we get a medication from our vet that we dont' get the information about interactions, side effects, discontinue use if... etc. that we get when we get a prescription from the pharmacy. I was literally thinking of this yesterday when picking up a refill for one of Punkin's medications that it seems to me that just as it is required for the pharmacist to provide this information to us, our vets should be providing this same information. Maybe they can if we ask. I know that after reading about it on Web-MD, I will now be asking my vet for this information.
I just signed up to WebMD, and stumbled upon your question. First of all, my condolences, my heart goes out to you and your son. I have experienced the pain of the loss of a pet several times over my life, and there is nothing I can say that will take that pain away, only time can do that.
For anyone to tell you why Charlie died would be impossible without an autopsy, which when done with animals, is actually called a necropsy. This is not meant as a callous remark, but Charlie lived an average length life for a dog of that size (assumed size based on your breed description). Yes, many dogs like Charlie can live longer, but some live even less. You did not mention his weight, or if he was over weight.....or what kinds of foods Charlie ate. I had an aunt once had a boxer breed, and she fried lots of meat for him, and gave him fatty foods, and even some foods, that, if given to the excess, could have harmed him......so, not knowing what he ate as a routine, that factor cannot be assess.
That Charlie was limping and acting lethargic suggests pain. Yes, it could have been arthritis, and that is an indicator of aging, so Charlie could have been nearing his end, do to natural reasons, with one or more problems causing even more, all cascading into more serious complications, and, ultimately a stroke, or heart failure. If this is all too vague, I apologize, but I can only offer speculation.
That the vet did not see anything on the X-ray may or may not be significant. He could still have had arthritis, and it may or may not have been visible. X-rays do not do much or anything when looking at softer tissue, such as skin and organs, so while he could not see anything, it is also very possible that Charlie had cancer, which could cause pain as you described.
If Charlie's body was in pain, and stressed from progressive heart failure, or cancer, his system just shutting down from old age, pain killers if given in too high a dose can cause respiratory stress, and exacerbate a condition, leading to further problems. This is not to suggest that you caused anything in any way, as what you did, likely gave Charlie relief from the pain and a process that was going to ultimately cause Charlie to "leave you" anyway. You gave him relief, and, I assume, company during his last moments......Nor can you look back and kick yourself for not having gone to the vet sooner. "What if's" always nag at you, but I am sure your vet will tell you also, that there is nothing you could have done.
Loss of bowel control and panting do not necessarily indicate death by any particular cause, as many things can cause these symptoms. Yes, it could have been a stroke.....or a heart attack, or even both. Or cancer. Panting is respiratory stress. Or from pain. Loss of bowel control could have been from pain, or his body just shutting down.
So, cancer, heart attack, stroke, old age and his body just shutting down, with all the complications that can come with that.........and if Charlie is already been given his final resting place, without a necropsy, you will never know.
What I see, from your heart rendering description of his last day, is that you loved him, and did the best you could, and he very likely had a happy and good life......much better than many dogs ever get.

Recently, my parents found their dog lying outside in the yard surrounded by a pool of liquid, He could not move and could not get up at he was unsteady. We did take him to an animal hospital where they said that due to his rapid eye movement, that he had had a central vestibular stroke, which did affect his sense of balance. We were told that sometimes dogs survive them and that sometimes they don't. That they could only tell in the next 24-48 hrs. The dog survived. But he well cd have not survived. We had also taken him to a vet the week before because he was not feeling well and they said that he might have prostate cancer. It is very hard to know what to do and what the results will be.
Again, you did the best you could in the situation, given what you knew and what the vet told you about Charlie. Even if you had taken him to a hospital, he may have died on the way. It is hard to know without an autopsy. You did not let him down. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know that it is heartbreaking and I am not sure that knowing exactly what happened can assuage this process of grief. .
You have to believe that you did everything you could to save your dog. I can tell that you loved him very much and he was blessed to have a wonderful home with you for all those years.

This is Justin and Cindy, just before they got on the carriage to be carried off to a secret (even to them) romantic location for their vow exchange. Their witness, Blackster, decided to sit out the ceremony and lay on the sidewalk instead. They're still at their wedding dinner at Beech Street Grill right now so we've slipped into their room with a wedding cake, champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to round out this day that they've devoted to each other. Elopements are new for us this year and we're loving every minute of them. Best wishes, Justin and Cindy; we're honored that you selected us for this incredible occasion.

They were quite the handsome couple and we loved every minute of their time with us. In case they didn't tell you, they were the rock stars of the island that night; everywhere they went in their wedding outfits they got a standing ovation - just as it should be!

CARY — Climb two long, straight ladders to the top of First Baptist Church, and it's possible, straddling thin metal girders, to steal nervous glances over the diorama-like scene of downtown Cary.
The steeple went up in 1968, but the view from the arched windows has changed little: There's the same cluster of small brick buildings, the same rows of cottages and the occasional grand old houses.
With a downtown renaissance taking root nationwide, a languid town core has become a problem for this notoriously suburban town. So after a decade of planning, the local government is pushing into unorthodox roles and laying out tens of millions of tax dollars in an effort to rebuild the cradle of Cary.
In planners' maps, First Baptist Church's tall white pinnacle would soon overlook a lively night scene, rows of new restaurants, remade roads and a "crown jewel" park. Town leadership aims to undo the downtown-shrinking effects of a half-century of sprawl – and if they succeed, they may rebuff critics who say Cary's just a bland extension of Raleigh.
"There are so many people in Cary, and the median income is so high, yet people take their dollars ... to Durham, and they take them to North Hills," said Lauren Schafer, incoming president of the Heart of Cary Association, an alliance of downtown merchants. "The goal is to be a place where people want to come, as a destination."
Few dispute that there's plenty of work to be done. While downtown Cary has its share of arts events and concerts, it has little buzz among tastemakers and the younger generations that fill other downtowns on weekend nights.
Nadia Khan, 22, lives and works in downtown Cary, but she doesn't bother to invite her friends here. Khan, awaitress at Serendipity Gourmet Deli, and her coworkers are often the youngest people on Academy Street – Cary's equivalent of Main Street.
"It's a little boring. There's not much to do for people our age," said Lindita Yuce, 24, another Serendipity waitress.
Like the rest of its block, Serendipity does much of its business in the lunchtime hours. Some joke a downtown Cary joint could open at 11 a.m. and close at 3 p.m.
And the area doesn't just have a millennial problem. Linda Buchanan, 56, lives downtown, but she and her husband head to Apex's close-packed downtown to eat and shop. In Apex, there are "just people walking around downtown, enjoying themselves," she said. "And in Cary, in the evening, there's absolutely nothing going on."
Ed Gawf, Cary's downtown czar, is just as blunt. While cities like Durham and Raleigh have revitalized their downtowns, he said, Cary is starting from near scratch.
"Here, there's not a downtown," said Gawf, downtown development manager since 2011. "There's a collection of older buildings, but we stopped being a downtown years ago, as suburban development started occurring in Cary. We're a great series of subdivisions without a downtown."
Time for intervention?
Unlike Durham, Cary's downtown doesn't have a surplus of old service buildings waiting for chic new tenants. The town never had Apex's dainty line of brick buildings. There are no high-rises offering housing, and few spaces for new eateries or offices. And for the last thirty years, developers have shown little interest in changing that scenario.
For Cary, that has translated into a practical moratorium on development – one that town officials insist can only be undone by dramatic government action.
The town's efforts began in 2011 with the $13 million transformation of a former school into the Cary Arts Center and continued with expanded public art programs, cultural events and even signage to help people find downtown.
Next on deck is the Cary, a $6 million rehab of a former cinema into a public arts venue, scheduled to open this year. An $8 million revamp of Academy Street's aesthetics and infrastructure will enter final planning next year. And the biggest project of all may be the "Opportunity Site," a 13-acre block for which the town has paid almost $10 million over the last decade.
Town leaders say the land will host a "crown jewel," and its planning has dominated the downtown discussion lately. While earlier proposals showed rolling parkland surrounded by public facilities, Gawf's arrival brought a more business-minded approach to the park and to downtown in general.
The downtown development manager, a former planning director of Boulder, Colo. and Palo Alto, Calif., wants Cary to set aside the borders of the Opportunity Site for potential private development, with the park itself occupying as little as a quarter of the site. Cary's elected officials have agreed in part, voting to designate up to half the site for private development.
There are signs these new public-private tactics are working already. The developers of the Mayton Inn, a $9.5 million boutique hotel, will buy town land before breaking ground this summer. The project may benefit from a multi-million dollar water-pressure system that the town is considering.
And nighttime visitors to downtown won't find things entirely deserted. Partially inspired by the downtown buzz, two dozen businesses opened and only three closed in 2012, according to Terry "Doc" Thorne, president of the Heart of Cary Association.
Among them are the new Unwine'd Wine Bar, and the soon-to-open Academy Street Bistro, both of which are angling for evening crowds. They'll soon be joined by Larry's Beans, a Raleigh coffee roaster that will put its first-ever coffee shop in a historic house owned by the town.
Delicate public-private balance
Still, the town's new courtship of developers has spurred a downtown debate, with the proposed park at the fulcrum. Dozens of downtown residents have said they want open space preserved, while other critics have said the town is too involved with private ventures. Councilman Don Frantz has questioned the town's plan to buy and resell private land.
Gawf argues that the town can't simply put money into public facilities. In the public-private approach, the government's real power is its freedom to take a financial hit while paving the way for private developers, with a potential reward of a new tax base and a reinvigorated public space.
The city of Raleigh has tried the same strategies, selling public land for developments such as Charter Square, according to David Diaz, president of the Downtown Raleigh Association.
"I can't think of many downtowns that the government did not get involved in that way," Diaz said.
Even success, though, would leave its own questions.
With the farthest stretches of Cary some ten miles distant, it's possible that new residents won't consider downtown their own. They may instead spend their nights out at the mixed-use centers that are emerging as developers' new favorite model.
There are also those that like downtown just the way it is. Tim Beaver, who keeps First Baptist Church running, doesn't see an under-developed area when he looks out the windows of the church's white pinnacle.
The 60-year-old preferred the Cary he found in 1981, when there was less hustle and bustle.
"I wouldn't want them to change anything," he said.

News and opinion about video games, technology and the internet
It may not be dead, and it's entirely possible I'm shoveling dirt on something that's still writhing around, promising me it is in fact the next big thing, but I'm now deaf to its cries. Google Plus is a failure no matter what the numbers may say.
25 million users in barely a month is nothing to sneeze at. Google Plus holds the honor of being one of the fastest growing websites in history, and these early numbers had analysts screaming that Facebook would be all but dead in a few more months.
But today I click on my newsfeed and see tumbleweed blowing through the barren, blank page. It's a vast and empty wasteland, full of people who signed up but never actually stuck around to figure out how things worked in this new part of town. One simple click takes me back to Facebook, and my wall is flooded with updates and pictures from 400+ friends. This just isn't a contest, and it never will be.
To know why G+ has failed, we must first look at how Facebook succeeded.
Facebook had exclusivity on its side, a once-upon-a-time fact we're only reminded of when we watch The Social Network, but even when it expanded past college to the general population, it was a hundred times more user friendly and visually streamlined than MySpace. That site was destroyed by the tackiness of its own users with a propensity for glitter text GIFs and autoplaying pop songs, and when it failed to evolve, the exodus to Facebook was massive and unstoppable.
Conversely, we look at a recent failure, this time where Google came out on top. When's the last time you got THAT frustrated with the Google search engine? Sure, you might not find what you wanted on occasion, but 99.99% of the time, it fulfills its function exceedingly well. So why on earth would anyone feel the need to switch to Bing? It may work yes, but to the average user, it doesn't offer anything above and beyond what you'd find with Google, and in some avenues, is actually worse. But how many millions were invested in the idea? Did they really think they had come up with something to unseat the emperor of search?
Now Google has fallen into the same trap with Plus. If anyone is annoyed by Facebook, it's simply that they're tired of using it. Their gripes aren't from the layout, or even the privacy settings, as much as internet outrage over the suspect Terms of Service would have you believe. Google can launch a product that fixes Facebook's issues, and even looks a touch nicer to boot, but its biggest flaw is simply something it can't overcome. It's not Facebook.
My profile tells me everything I need to know about Google Plus, and I suspect the same is true for many others. As active as I am in social media and the latest and greatest internet trends, I have 26 people who have added me into circles, only 8 of them being people I wanted to add back, as for all Plus's claims of privacy and intimacy, I don't know most of the others. Out of those, only two post anything at all to the site, and the majority don't even have profile pictures yet, an indicator they haven't returned since day one. My recommended friends list is filled with people I'm actually close with, presumably pulled from my Gmail contacts, but the fact that we haven't added each other yet describes just how little we care about this new network.
If you wait for people to circle you, you're going to see big effing tumbleweeds because nobody knows who the heck you are. I've been on G+ for months, and have found it vibrant and active – if you have not, then you're doing it wrong.
Google+ is an epic fail!
Even Google's own staff don't use it, spending their social web time on Facebook and Twitter like everybody else:
I agree. There is barely enough time in the day for one social network let alone two. Since I never liked Facebook in the first place and never visited anyway, I go to Google plus daily. If it went under I still would not use Facebook.
All I know or care about Google+ is that it is unnecessary in my life. For E-mailing I use Gmail, for online socializing there is Facebook or Twitter or countless other sites.
Paul, i was intrigued by your title and not so much because I felt you you were correct in your premise rather because I believe that you couldn't be so wrong with your prediction.
Google+ will win the social media slugfest for the simple reason that they control Search. Most every search result originates from Google whether it is Pinterest, LinkedIn, FaceBook, Twitter or whatever. Most new people looking for content start with Google first. I think we can all agree to that?
If my premise is true, then, it is equally true that Google controls what we see as a search result, correct? I predict there will be a day when Google places a higher priority on its' search results to those utilizing their products and services versus one of their competitors. Didn't they just impose their will on their product called YouTube?
And, just like all of those millions of YouTube users that WILL fall in line and get a G+ account to comment or not use YouTube for that purpose any longer, there will be millions of others that will be STRONGLY encouraged to use G+ in the future because Google search results WILL favor those who do over those who do not. If you were Google, wouldn't you?
The question I asked myself when I chose to embrace G+ was…Did I want to be fighting against the tidal wave called Google or riding on the tidal wave called Google?
Google you of all should know better than to force loyal user's hands by requiring a G+ account to post comments and use YouTube like we once use to (it's the worse approach you could have possibly chosen). G+ needs to be built on the "original" Google foundation… for the love of everything we've come to know and love about the "original" Google philosophy PLEASE PLEASE do not continue to force your customer's hands like this.

Both men are described as black males in their late teens.
Flying squad detectives are investigating the incident.

A House Republican whose subcommittee oversees the National Security Agency broke ranks with the White House on Tuesday and called for a full Congressional inquiry into the Bush administration's domestic eavesdropping program.
Jon Henke: Mr. Congressman, on the NSA warrantless surveillance issue, do you believe the President has the inherent authority to do what he has been doing? Or do you think we need to codify the process somehow?Rep. John A. Boehner: I think that it's unclear to me. Now the President, clearly, and his people believe that they have the ability to do this and frankly I'm very interested in hearings to see in how, I mean they've attempted to justify it, but frankly I want to make, if it's not clear in the law or Constitution today, it ought to be made clear in a law or the Constitution that he can do this and what the limits are. But at this point, I'm not, it's not clear in my mind under that he has, under what authority he has to get it done.Jon Henke: Would you support an investigation to look into that question?Rep. John A. Boehner: I would. I'd think it would be of interest of all Americans to get to the bottom of how does this happen? Under what authority? And what are the protections?
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
As I have said before, Bush's legal case is beyond weak.
And, yet, liberal Con-Law professor Cass Sunstien disagrees, as does Jamie Gorelick and other Clinton-era DOJ officials.Hmm. Now, I wonder who to beleive: One of the nation's premier law professors and former Clinton-Administration high-level DoJ officials, or...you?
Listen to the political partisans and you're likely to believe that this is one of those black-and-white issues. But the truth is that this case falls in the gray zone. The reason that it's dividing experts is that it's genuinely difficult — the type of case that would make the Supreme Court think long and hard.
What plausible reasons are there for not going through the FISA courts considering the huge advantage the government has concerning who to surveil and when to even take it to court?
... the Bush administration's domestic eavesdropping program.
Right, then. On with it.
Dale, appealing to an authority will do no good as you will hear opposite opinions on both sides. You have to take a look at the law and judge for yourself.
That question can have a couple different meanings. Could you ellaborate?
McQ,I was merely trying to point out that it seems law professors and such (regardless of political motivation) have varying opinions on the legality of what we know about the NSA program.
At any rate, I was only offering my opinion on the matter after looking at what we have to go on...namely FISA and Bush's defense arguments.For this, I was called a troll. I was deemed smug and arrogant. Maybe I'll stick to reading the articles but find somewhere else to engage in conversation....
Sunstein has not said its legal, and he has not said its illegal.
The authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) says, "the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."This authorization clearly supported the war in Afghanistan. It also clearly justifies the use of force against Al Qaeda. In the Hamdi case, the Supreme Court added that the AUMF authorizes the detention of enemy combatants—notwithstanding 18 USC 4001(a), which requires an Act of Congress to support executive detention. In the Court's view, the AUMF stands as the relevant Act of Congress, authorizing detention. It is therefore reasonable to say that the AUMF, by authorizing the use of "all necessary and appropriate force," also authorizes surveillance of those associated with Al Qaeda or any other organizations that "planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks" of September 11.The reason is that surveillance, including wiretapping, is reasonably believed to be an incident of the use of force. It standardly occurs during war. If the President's wiretapping has been limited to those reasonably believed to be associated with Al Qaeda and its affiliates—as indeed he has said—then the Attorney General's argument is entirely plausible.
When I was refering to the government having an advantage in court I meant the FISA court - where they should have gotten the warrants.
"Notherbob, do you have any opinions on anything other than liberal bashing?"
"For this, I was called a troll. I was deemed smug and arrogant. Maybe I'll stick to reading the articles but find somewhere else to engage in conversation...."
"This has become such a cliche, but if it was Pres. Clinton who had done this warrantless spying, would you still agree that it was "harmless"? What if the next president is a Dem? Would you still support these powers?"
"But whatever arguments are selected, what matters is that there be a coordinated, comprehensive, and full-fledged campaign to persuade the public of the importance of this scandal ... by implementing a campaign designed to allow Bush opponents to control our own message and communicate directly to Americans. In my view, whether this can be accomplished will, far more than any other factor, determine whether the Administration is held accountable for their law-breaking or whether this scandal will join the countless others which meekly and inconsequentially fade away into the attention-deficit media whirlpool."
Is there ANYTHING that Bush [is not] allowed to do in the name of national security?
Please pay attention; the answer to that is simple. The Administration's argument is that the program does not violate FISA because it is operating under FISA's statutory exemption, which they believe is provided by the AUMF. You may not be convinced of this. That's okay.
Are you comfortable with that argument as well, Martin? As weak as I find the AUMF argument, I find the inherent authority argument much, much scarier.
Get a clue, troll. Or better yet, go befoul someone else's comments section with your self-satisfied smugness and arrogance. Written By: A fine scotch

text: Geoff Sholler has an interest in video games since he first started playing them around the age of five. Many of his educational decisions were g eared towards the end goal of getting into the business of making them, and as such, he attained a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a focus on Videogame and Graphics Programming from the University of Miami in 2008. After that, he went to the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA) at UCF and earned a Master's degree in the field of Interactive Entertainment. While attending FIEA, he learned to use several professional-scale development toolsets, chief among them UDK. Upon graduating, he was hired by Trendy Entertainment, the makers of the hit game Dungeon Defenders, in a position which nobody can seem to find a proper title for, but Asset Integration Specialist, Level Scripter, and Technical Designer tend to be the most common ways to which he is referred. They all sound better than ''the guy with a technical mindset who knows nearly all of the engine tools really well", which is possibly the most accurate description of his job. He has been working there since January 2012, which means he has been elbow deep in UDK nearly every day for the past two years, including school.
