Drainage & Wastewater Regulation of Development
Client Assistance Memo 1101
How does Drainage and Wastewater work in the City?
In the City of Seattle, all proposed development is checked for its impact on existing drainage and wastewater infrastructure. A Master Use, Building or Street Use Permit will not be issued until all concerns regarding drainage and wastewater have been addressed. Infrastructure improvements may be required as a condition of the permit when existing infrastructure is unavailable or inappropriate. The City and King County share jurisdiction and infrastructure in some parts of Seattle, so in some cases a permit may also be required from King County (see King County Drainage and Wastewater Services).
Drainage refers primarily to the flow of storm water to the sea, a lake or another natural water repository, or to a combined sewer. Drainage can also include relatively clean water from other sources, such as groundwater, that needs to be managed. Seattle's Drainage Code, SMC 22.800-22.808, has been revised effective 11/30/09. The revised code has new requirements for green stormwater infrastructure when certain development thresholds are exceeded. For more information, see Drainage Code, Directors Rules, and related CAMs.
Wastewater refers to sewage, such as that released by toilets, bathtubs, commercial applications, or other everyday sources of contaminated water. Not all contaminated water can be disposed of as wastewater in the City or King County sewer system. Water contaminated by petroleum products, certain chemicals or bio-hazardous materials cannot be treated effectively by the County's sewage treatment facilities, and must be pre-treated by a specialized facility, typically on site, or managed in another way.
What is the City trying to achieve in regulating this area?
The City regulates Drainage and Wastewater ultimately for the health, safety and well-being of its residents and public and private property.
Drainage is regulated for several reasons:
- To protect natural resources and public health by reducing erosion and pollution.
- To reduce flooding and property damage by managing the City drainage infrastructure.
- To reduce costs to ratepayers by protecting the integrity of the City drainage infrastructure.
Wastewater is regulated for mostly similar reasons:
- To protect public health and the environment by providing the infrastructure for the safe removal and treatment of household, commercial and industrial wastewater.
- To manage the capacity of City and King County wastewater infrastructure and wastewater facilities.
- To reduce costs to ratepayers by protecting the integrity of the City and King County wastewater infrastructure.
Originally, a combined drainage and wastewater sewer system was used throughout the central areas of the City. Over time, separate storm drains, detention facilities and a variety of drainage systems were constructed.
As City limits were expanded, additional drainage systems were added to the City's infrastructure.
(This memo provides a general introduction only, and is not a substitute for a careful reading of the law and consultation with the City.)
How does the City regulate drainage and wastewater?
Seattle Public Utilities addresses Drainage and Wastewater through various local provisions in the Seattle Municipal Code:
- 21.16 Side Sewers
- 21.28.280 Drainage and Wastewater Fund
- 21.33.010-.110 Drainage Utility Rates and Charges
- 22.800-.808 Stormwater Code
- Directors Rules 2009-15, 16, 17, 18
View the Stormwater Code (pdf).
To locate any of the sections listed, please visit Seattle Municipal Code.
Note: See also King County Code for County regulations
What types of development projects or activities are affected by the drainage and wastewater regulations?
- New or replaced impervious surface or land-disturbing activity, whether on public or private property, or in the public right of way.
- Any projects modifying, relocating, or repairing sewers or drains, or connecting to SPU infrastructure.
In general, what are the developers responsibilities regarding drainage and wastewater?
- Property owners are responsible for properly conveying all stormwater, groundwater and wastewater to an approved discharge location. Detention, treatment, or green stormwater infrastructure requirements may be imposed.
- Any development plans for a property must be adequately communicated to the City in time to be reviewed and approved prior to implementation. Development plans must describe how the property is to be used, estimated wastewater to be generated at the property, and the amount of impervious surface to be added to, or replaced on the property. The plans must detail how any anticipated groundwater, stormwater or wastewater will be treated and removed from the property, including conveying flows received from upstream properties.
Things to consider if you are thinking of buying a property for development.
- Are there stormwater and wastewater pipes adjacent to your property? If not, you may have to pay to extend lines to your property.
- Do the existing stormwater and wastewater lines have the capacity to meet the needs of your proposed project? (Existing stormwater and wastewater lines can normally accommodate flows from one single family home.) In some cases, you may need to pay to increase the capacity.
- Will your planned project produce high flows, dirty or contaminated runoff (a car wash, for example?) If so, you may need to install treatment and/or detention systems on your property or in the right-of-way.
What are the steps of the process?
Normally, the steps will be identical to those of any other Master Use, Building or Street Improvement permit. However, if your project is determined by Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections (SDCI) or Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) to have potential drainage or wastewater issues, your project will have to meet the requirements detailed by the City before your permit will be approved. In some cases, King County may require a permit or authorization for your project.
What information will the developer need to provide?
- Project description and plans
- Geological study of project site (if required)
- A description of the street with topological data (i.e. base map)
- A construction stormwater control plan
- Building and street grades
- Curb height
- Estimated generated wastewater
- Area of impervious surface added or replaced
What are the requirements of a construction project?
- Properly treat or dispose of any groundwater displaced during construction (temporary dewatering). Refer to CAM 506 (pdf)
- Implement a stormwater control plan
- Implement spill prevention and control to protect water quality
Reduce delay! Things to watch out for that have caused problems in the past.
- Changing the plans after they have been approved by the City reviewers can result in new Drainage and Wastewater requirements.
- Note that SDCI building permits, SDOT Street Use permit and drainage and wastewater requirements are all interdependent. Plan changes affecting requirements from one department may trigger changes in another department's requirements.
Who to contact first
The initial contact for a project will normally be Seattle's Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections.

Game Ticker | Box Score
LAWRENCE, Kan. - For Nebraska, it came down to finishing what it started on Saturday, and that's exactly what it did.
Behind the best offensive performance in more than a month, the Huskers were able to pull off a huge Big 12 North victory on the road over Kansas, 31-17. Junior running back Roy Helu was stellar once again, rushing 28 times for a game-high 156 yards and three touchdowns.
After giving up a late fourth-quarter touchdown pass to fall behind 17-16 with 7:34 left to play, Nebraska rode Helu for 15 unanswered points and improved to 7-3 overall and 4-2 in Big 12 Conference play.
"It was a great win on the road," head coach Bo Pelini said. "We found ourselves down one with about seven minutes to go, (and) we won the football game. We did what we needed to do in the fourth quarter. I was proud of the team. I'm proud of the way they hung together and finished the game."
After Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing hit Dezmon Briscoe on a 21-yard touchdown pass to take a 17-16 lead, Nebraska was forced to put the game in the hands of an offense that had done little to give anyone any confidence in its chances the past five games.
However, the ensuing drive got off to a great start for NU when junior Niles Paul ran back the kickoff 44 yards to the Kansas 36, and then a 5-yard offsides penalty was tacked on to give the Huskers first-and-10 at the KU 31.
The offense failed to do anything with the ball the first three plays of the drive, but Kansas's Justin Thorton was flagged for a crucial roughing the quarterback penalty that extended the drive and gave the Huskers a first down at the 20.
On the very next play, Helu broke a run outside and scampered all the way in for the go-ahead touchdown with 6:19 remaining. Needing to increase their lead to make it a seven-point game, junior quarterback Zac Lee hit Paul on the run in the corner of the end zone for the two-point conversion to make the score 24-17.
The Blackshirts stuffed the Jayhawks for a three-and-out on their next possession, giving the offense a chance to seal the victory with a score. On a third-and-10 with a little more than three minutes to play, Helu took a toss around the right side and broke loose for a 30-yard gain that all but locked up the win.
In hindsight, Helu said he probably could have scored on the play, but instead dropped to the ground at the KU 33 because he wanted to make sure he didn't make a mistake and cost his team.
"I did it because I was tired," Helu said. "When I made the cut, I just didn't trust in where I was going, and I didn't know the situation that well. So I just fell on the ground and probably spoiled a good run."
Either way, it ended up being a moot point, as Helu eventually barreled his way into the end zone on a 14-yard run up the middle with 29 seconds left in the game to officially put the nail in the coffin.
For the offense, 31 points and 410 total yards were the perfect ways to rebound from a frustrating slump it's been trying to bust since the start of Big 12 play.
"We went through a tough stretch, and everybody's felt terrible about it," offensive coordinator Shawn Watson said. "The thing I love about these kids is they're relentless. They had a sense of responsibility to everybody, and they found a way out of it and they just keep fighting. I couldn't be prouder of a group I've ever coached, to be honest with you.
"I've had a lot of really talented teams I've been a part of, and this group - because they're young and what they've been through and how they've stayed together - it's just a great team that we've got."
Nebraska took control to start the game, as Lee led the Huskers on a 6-play, 58-yard touchdown drive on the game's first possession to take a 7-0 lead less than three minutes into the first quarter.
On the drive, Lee connected with Paul for a 35-yard pass on the first play. With a first-and-goal from the 3, Lee tried to run it in on an option keeper but fumbled before he crossed the goal line. Luckily, Helu was there to scoop up the ball and save the touchdown for NU.
The unorthodox score marked the first time Nebraska had scored on the game's opening possession since its win over Arkansas State on Sept. 12.
While the defense held firm, Nebraska extended its lead to 10-0 when Lee scrambled for 32 yards and then hit Paul again on a 37-yard pass on the drive's first two plays. Junior Alex Henery finished the drive with a 25-yard field goal with a little less than 11 minutes left to go.
Just when it seemed Nebraska would go into halftime in full control, Kansas came storming back in the half's final minutes. Reesing finally got the Jayhawks on the board by engineering a 13-play, 80-yard touchdown drive that took up 5:49 and was capped off with a 5-yard scoring run by Reesing.
On Kansas's next possession, Reesing completed 5-of-8 passes for 66 yards to help set up a 33-yard field goal by Jacob Branstetter as time expired to send the game into halftime tied up at 10-10.
With the win, Nebraska is now faced with a Big 12 North championship game of sorts next week when Kansas State comes to town. The Wildcats, who lost to Missouri on Saturday, are in second place in the division standings with a conference record of 4-3.
If the Huskers can pull off the win, they will clinch the division title and punch their ticket to play in the Big12 Championship game on Dec. 5.
"The thing we wanted to say (coming into the game) was that we got our mojo back," Watson said. "We've been nicked up, and the kids have been just resilient. They keep coming back and they keep working. They've never questioned or doubted themselves at all. I think it just shows that they're resilient, they persevered, they found a way to fight through it all. It's going to make us a great team in the future."

However, when you buy GW:EN you'll have a Hall of Monuments (?), a museum of sorts where you can enshrine your character so that people can see your achievements (titles), armor, weapons, etc. This is Anet's way of recognizing all the hours of gameplay that we spent in GW1.
Then when GW2 comes around, and if you link your GW1 account to GW2, you can access the GW:EN Hall of Monuments and display to GW2 newbies your life as a GW1 player, and they can appropriately "oooh" and "aaaah" at the right places
I'm not clear on this one, but there will be special bonuses accorded GW1 players with Hall of Monuments in GW2, like maybe being able to use your minipets, armor, weapons.... a lot of this is still up in the air though.
If this works, some GW2 players might even consider buying GW1, and thus keep both games alive. Either way, it's a win-win deal :3
2) When GW2 comes out, Anet has said that they will still support GW1, but maybe in a much diminished capacity. Officially, GW:EN is the final release in the GW1 series, but they remain open to anything and everything.
I'd like Anet to maintain their weekend events even post-GW2, as anyway it's all in the coding to activate, and it'll give something to do for GW1 players who haven't moved on to GW2.
3) The level 20 cap on all GW1 games will stay like that, level 20. As announced by Anet, GW2 may have a level 100 cap, or higher, or none at all. It's too early to tell.
The confusion might have stemmed from the PC Gamer issue that featured both GW:EN and GW2. The exciting features of both games may have been mixed up by the excited reader, and further misunderstood by those he relayed the news to, who passed the info to yet others down the grapevine (second- or third-hand information)...
4) No new professions in EOTN. It's an expansion, not a standalone campaign like Factions or Nightfall.
No word yet on GW2 professions, and if any of the ten GW1 professions will be implemented. On that note however, I'm pretty sure there'll be an approximation of the six core classes.
5) For now, the announced playable races in GW2 are four: the nymph/dryad/elfin Sylvari, everybody's favorite furballs the Charr, the technologically advanced Asura, and the viking-like, shapeshifting half-giant Norns.
Makes you wonder if there'll be humans. And I'd have liked playing as a Mursaat, or Centaur, or Tengu... those existing races in GW lore. But then again GW2 is a hundred years after GW1, the GW1 races might have died out or something...

Jimmy Kimmel Doesn't Think Jay Leno Has Feelings
JIMMY KIMMEL hasn't been afraid to show his disdain for JAY LENO. Last year, Jimmy said his "proudest moment" was when he humiliated Jay on his own show . . . and last month, he said Jay hasn't been a good stand-up in 20 years.
--So is Jimmy worried about being TOO HARD on Jay? Not really.
--In an interview with "Playboy", he says, quote, "I don't know. I always feel bad if I hurt anybody's feelings, but I don't believe Jay Leno has actual feelings, and he doesn't seem to be that worried about other people's feelings."
--Jimmy also uses Jay as a benchmark for whether or not he should do a joke. He says if he can picture Jay telling it, he won't do it . . . even if it's a good one.
--It seems like every time Jimmy disses Jay, he shares his adoration for DAVID LETTERMAN . . . and this interview was no different. Jimmy says, quote, "[Dave] is the father of comedy as we now know it."
--He says it was "the greatest thrill of my career" when Dave was on his show a few months ago. He adds that they didn't talk about Jay because, quote, "I didn't want him soiling our time together."
Is Britney Spears Doing the British Accent on "Scream & Shout" . . . or Is It Someone Else?
Rapper EVE has stirred a little controversy . . . saying that she's heard BRITNEY SPEARS doesn't actually do the British accent in a "talking" portion on WILL.I.AM'S "Scream & Shout", even though it's definitely presented as if it IS her.
--During an appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live", Eve was asked about the accent . . . and she said, quote, "I heard that might not be Britney . . . that's what I heard, [but] I don't know. It could be Britney. But I heard it wasn't.
--"I don't know though, I don't know."
--Well, Britney's rep has a problem with that. He says, quote, "It's absolute BS. Britney sang the song. Will.I.Am wanted her for this song and she sang on it."
--The thing is . . . some people took Eve's comment to mean that she didn't think Britney was on the track AT ALL . . . but she set it straight on Twitter.
--She Tweeted, quote, "Come on ya'll. My comment was not about Britney NOT singing the song . . . clearly it's her. It was about the British accent. Pay attention."
--In that case, Britney's rep didn't really address the real claim . . . since he just insisted she "sang," and didn't mention anything about the British stuff.
--Britney and Will.I.Am haven't commented directly.
Brad and Angelina are Launching Their Own Wine Line
Would you be interested in a BRAD PITT Merlot or an ANGELINA JOLIE Pinot? The couple thinks you will be.
--A source says, ''He's always had a keen interest in wine and after doing his wine steward's course earlier this year, he's pretty much a certified expert. Brad's cellar boasts some incredibly rare wines and rivals those of some of the best connoisseurs in Europe.''
--Perez Hilton claims Brad pranked Ang by giving her breath mints for Valentine's Day.
Is the Phone of Katie Couric's Dead Husband Haunted?
Someone . . . or some-THING? . . . is making 911 calls from a phone that used to belong to KATIE COURIC'S late husband Jay Monahan.
--It's a landline in Katie's apartment, but it was Jay's, and she never changed the number after he died in 1998. The calls are made Tuesday mornings at 2:00 A.M.
--It's happened at least 10 times. Police only hear static on their end, but they have to respond every time. On Tuesday, Katie even told her audience about it during a break in taping her talk show.
--She said she's been so rattled by it that she called New York City Police Commissioner RAY KELLY . . . whom she knows personally. She told him, quote, "Ray, this is so weird but can you help me? I don't know what to do."
--It's probably pretty unlikely that Katie's dead husband is making phone calls. Police are investigating whether something's wrong with the phone, or if someone's PRANKING Katie.

For students, amateur painters, and professional artists using high volumes of color, Winton Oil Color is the ultimate high-quality yet economical oil paint.
Winton brings together the best of Winsor & Newton paint-making tradition with modern technology. Rather than lessening the pigment content to create a more affordable paint, Winton Oils are formulated using moderately priced pigments that still possess good covering power and tinting strength — including genuine, excellent-quality cadmiums and cobalts. While Winton Oils can't match the superior pigment load of Winsor & Newton Professional Oils, they are still much stronger than the artist-quality lines of many other brands.
Winton Oils are offered in a range of 48 colors, and every color is individually formulated to bring out the best natural characteristics of the pigment. These paints have a more uniform consistency than Winsor & Newton Professional Oils and are slightly stiffer, offering excellent retention of brush strokes and knife marks. The gloss level varies from color to color, but again they have a more uniform sheen across the range as compared to the Professional line.
All colors are either AA or A rated and are recommended as permanent for artists' use.
Winton Soft Painting Whites — The whites in the Winton line offer a range of opacities and working characteristics. Titanium White is the whitest, most opaque white and also the most popular. Zinc White is the least opaque white and is ideal for tints and glazing. Soft Mixing White is a soft, non-sticky blend of Titanium White and Zinc White that retains brushstrokes and is resistant to yellowing.
Shipping Note — Due to manufacturer distribution restrictions, Winsor & Newton products cannot be shipped to addresses outside of North America.

Living Organ Donation
Topic Overview
More than 100,000 people in the United States are waiting for an organ to become available for a transplant that can save their lives. Most organs come from donors who have died. But about half of all organ donors are living donors.
How can you be a living organ donor?
Most people can be organ donors. Many people choose to donate an organ upon their death. But a person can donate certain organs while he or she is still living. These people are called "living donors."
A living donor is:
- In good general health.
- Free from diseases that can damage the organs, such as diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or cancer.
- Willing to donate and free from mental health problems.
- Usually older than age 18.
- A match with the person receiving the organ.
Who can you donate to?
You can direct your donation to someone you know: a family member, a friend, a coworker, or a person that you know needs an organ. Or you can donate to someone in need by donating to the national waiting list. Medical tests will show if your organ is a good match with the recipient.
How is it decided who gets priority for transplants?
If you do a directed donation, your organ goes only to the person you name. If you donate to the national waiting list, your organ will go to an anonymous person on the list. If you donate to the national waiting list, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network uses a computer to match your organ with possible recipients based on things such as tissue and blood type.
What organs can you donate?
Living donors can donate these organs:
- A kidney
- A lobe (part) of a lung
- A lobe of your liver (It will grow back to normal size in your body and in the recipient's body over time.)
- A section of your intestine
- A part of your pancreas
You can also donate bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and peripheral blood stem cells.
What's the process for making an organ donation?
When you are a possible living donor, your rights and privacy are carefully protected. It's also very important to be informed about the risks of donating an organ. To help you make the best decision for you, you will have an independent donor advocate (IDA) who will guide you and answer your questions.
Here are the steps for making a donation:
- Contact the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) at 1-888-894-6361 or go online at www.unos.org to get more information and to locate the nearest transplant center.
- Learn about the risks. Risks vary with the organ donated and from person to person.
- Complete a medical evaluation that includes these tests:
- A cross-match for transplant. This is a blood test that shows whether the recipient's body will reject your donor organ immediately. The cross-match will mix your blood with the recipient's blood to see if proteins in the recipient's blood might attack your donated organ. If they do, you are not a good match with the recipient.
- Antibody screen. This test measures whether you or the recipient has antibodies against a broad range of people. If either of you does, it means there is a higher risk of rejection, even if the cross-match shows that you and the organ recipient are a good match.
- Blood type. This is a blood test that shows which type of blood you have—type A, B, O, or AB. Your blood type should be compatible with the organ recipient's blood type. But it is sometimes possible to transplant an organ between people with different blood types.
- Tissue type. This is a blood test that shows the genetic makeup of your body's cells. The more traits you share with the organ recipient, the more likely it is that his or her body will accept your donated organ.
- A mental health assessment. Many emotional issues are involved in donating an organ. A mental health assessment takes a careful look at your emotional health and how donation would affect you and your family. It will also show if you understand your own interests, the future effects on your health, and whether you're feeling pressure to donate from another person or from a sense of obligation.
Two types of surgery are commonly used to remove an organ or a portion of an organ from a living donor.
- Open surgery involves cutting the skin, muscles, and tissues to remove the organ. When open surgery is done, the person may have more pain and a longer recovery time.
- Laparoscopic surgery is a procedure in which a surgeon makes a number of small incisions and uses scopes to remove the organ from a living donor.
Throughout the planning process, know that it's never too late to change your mind about donating an organ. Talk with your IDA and others you trust to be sure you're making the right decision for you. Your long-term health is just as important as that of the person who will receive your donation.
What are the facts about living organ donation?
You don't have to be in perfect health to donate an organ. As long as the organ you donate is healthy, there are a lot of health conditions that won't prevent a successful donation.
Living organ donation can be risky for both the donor and the recipient. Removing an organ, or a part of an organ, from your body involves major surgery. There is always the risk of complications from surgery, such as pain, infection, pneumonia, bleeding, and even death. After the surgery you may face changes in your body from having removed one of your organs.
Living organ donation can be costly. Your medical expenses related to the transplant surgery will be paid for by the recipient's insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. You may get help with some of your travel expenses, either through the recipient or the National Living Donor Assistance Center. But also think of your costs in terms of lost wages, child care, and possible medical problems in the future. Your own insurance premiums may rise after the surgery, and later you might have problems getting or keeping health, life, or disability insurance. Check with your insurance provider for more information about how your donation may affect your coverage.
Living organ donation is rewarding. After a successful transplant, most donors feel a special sense of well-being because they have saved a life.
All major religions allow organ donation. The Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu faiths encourage organ donation or leave it up to individual choice. Ask your spiritual advisor if you have questions about your religion's views on organ donation.

Department Criteria for Third Year Advisory Review
Third-Year Advisory Review
Department of English and Philosophy
University of West Georgia
Third-year advisory review of tenure-eligible faculty gauges whether an individual is making satisfactory progress toward fulfillment of tenure criteria. The documents to be filed for purposes of third-year review are a curriculum vitae and portfolio reflecting achievements in teaching, service, and professional growth.
Tenure in the University System of Georgia is based upon performance in the four areas outlined below. Quotations from the current Faculty Handbook pertinent to each area are given with page numbers, along with excerpts from departmental standards adopted on 9 November 1993. You are urged to consult the Handbook for further information and definitions of key terms.
According to the Handbook, "Retention throughout a probationary period of service, regardless of faculty rank held, is by itself insufficient to guarantee the success of a candidate for tenure. A candidate for tenure must not only meet the designated minimum criteria and period of service, but must also show a history of evaluations that merits the award of tenure. Tenure is awarded to individual faculty members upon evidence of the capacity and likelihood for continued intellectual, scholarly, and professional vitality; upon evidence of the ability and willingness to perform assigned duties; upon evidence of a sense of responsibility and dedication to make the continuing exemplary performance of duties a reasonable expectation; and upon evidence of maintenance of proper professional ethics" (16).
Handbook: "Demonstration of superior teaching as revealed by the evidence assembled in support of the application for tenure. Evidence must include evaluations by students (See Section 103.06) and may include, but is not limited to, evaluations by colleagues and letters from former students and others in a position to evaluate teaching effectiveness" (17-18).
Department: "Demonstrated strength in teaching introductory composition and literature surveys as documented by a candidate's portfolio and by a combination of student, peer, and chair evaluations. In addition, there should be evidence of proficiency in teaching an upper-division course within the candidate's principal area of scholarly expertise."
Handbook: "Same as criteria for promotion to current professorial rank" (18). "Demonstration of potential for effectiveness as shown by successful, collegial service on departmental, school-wide, institutional or system-wide committees and with evidence from at least two additional sources listed in section 103.0302[,]D, 2" (13).
Department: "Responsible participation on at least one departmental committee and in departmental meetings, along with evidence of the effective mentoring of students in advisement and other academic activities. Involvement in school or [University]-wide committees as well as service to the academic guild at large are regarded as desirable but not necessary complements in this area."
Handbook: "Same as criteria for promotion to current faculty rank" (18). "Terminal degree in discipline" (14).
Handbook: "Same as criteria for promotion to current faculty rank" (18). "Demonstration of potential for effectiveness in the candidate's discipline with evidence from at least two of the sources listed in section 103.0302,D,3" (14).
Department: "Research related to some facet of teaching responsibilities and resulting in publication since time of initial appointment, active membership in a professional organization, and annual participation in conferences or workshops. Also indicative of professional growth are such activities as reviewing books, serving on scholarly panels, and collaborating with colleagues in writing grant proposals."

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; firstname.lastname@example.com
Ethical IssuesConsumers and family members strongly believe in the importance of research. NAMI members have benefited from research advances to date, and, it is central to our hope for improved treatment and cures for such disabling and chronic brain disorders as schizophrenia and bipolar illness.
But our strong support for research hinges upon the appropriate care of consumers who volunteer as research subjects. Consumers who are considering participation in research, along with their care-giving family members, must be fully aware of what the protocols involve; what risks they will face; what options they have; and who they should contact with questions or issues as they arise. When vulnerable, because of their brain disorder, even further protections are required. And they must always, always be treated with dignity.
NAMI consumers, as shown in our survey, want to contribute to research, but they want to understand the risks, they have preferences about the kinds of research protocols they are willing to participate in, and they wanted to be treated with respect. We cannot let the NAMI consumers, who strongly support research and often altruistically contribute to it as volunteers, down. We must afford them the best protections possible. NAMI has worked diligently through much of the 1990s to safeguard consumers with mental disorders who volunteer for research. We constructed a policy on research ethics, which we have used to inform our advocacy at NIMH and with other research sponsors. We worked, successfully to have our policies included in the recommendations from the presidential National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC). We have been translating our policy into practice with the development of our IRB training program and informed consent video for consumers.
Now that the Decade of the Brain has ended and we enter a new Millennium, we should redouble our support of brain disorder research. But we must also continue to examine and improve the way research is conducted, so that research volunteers are treated with honor and protected from inappropriate harm. Research and ethics must go hand in hand. [Note: from Laurie Flynn's "Research Must Go Hand-In-Hand" in The Decade of the Brain vol. IX-3.]

And, I love it.
It has a lot of attitude, but it's also very

a lot of things in a small package.
Chris Thile is one of the most inspiring musical
figures for me right now because he's involved
in so many different musical styles and makes them all
his own. For example, if you look at his touring
schedule, he's playing with jazz pianist Brad

Daves, he's touring with the Punch Brothers,
he's touring with Yo-Yo Ma and the Goat Rodeo
Sessions, playing classical music, bluegrass,
jazz. And each time he plays, it's so him.
It's exciting that Chris is coming to Princeton
because he's so passionate about music, and
people at Princeton are so passionate about
everything they doâin music, in the arts,
in the sciences, in math, in literature. So,
someone like Chris who's breaking boundaries
in the way that he's breaking them...you know,
it's just a really inspiring thing.

Oracle XS
this wiki
The Übermacht Oracle is a four-door luxury sedan in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. There is a "first generation" referred to as the Oracle XS, which is available in both Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. Exclusively to Grand Theft Auto V is a more high end "second generation" known as the Oracle 2 or Oracle Sport.
Grand Theft Auto IVThe Oracle is a four-door sedan which inherits the general design and role previously filled by the Sentinel in the HD Universe (the GTA IV Sentinel is redesigned as a two-door sport luxury coupe). The Oracle resembles the BMW E65 7 Series (2002-2008), particularly the pre-facelift models (2002-2005). The only noticeable differences are inverted front indicators, a slightly different taillight design, and the lack of BMW's traditional (and trademarked) kidney-shaped grilles. The grille resembles that of a second-generation Lexus LS, one of the competitors to the BMW 7 Series in the full-size luxury segment.
There is a slightly modified variant of the Oracle which is based on the Alpina B7 are driven by members of the Irish Mob. It is painted dark green with front and rear bumper kits and a sport mesh grill, and its badge markings are removed. This variant is often seen in Steinway, Dukes.
Grand Theft Auto V
In GTA V, the Oracle returns in two generations: the first generation and second generation and the design is exactly the same as its counterpart in GTA IV and the new second generation
The design of the car draws on German styling featured on the F01 7 series and the F06 6 Series Gran Coupe. The long wheelbase, greenhouse profile and rare chrome trim have been taken from both. The main body line, wheel arches, rear bumper and transition from C pillar to third box area have been inspired by the F01. The rear lights are mostly inspired by the BMW 5 series GT's, but the overall rear profile also strikes a resemblance to the current Lexus GS, Hyundai Sonata, Acura RLX and Infiniti Q50 sedans. The front fascia also bears a resemblance to the Infiniti Q50, but is likely designed more after the Third generation BMW 6 series with headlamps from the BMW 5 Series (E60). The car's overall body shape is classed as a Coupe in game.
The side of the car displays a very long profile and features very smooth sides. The wheelbase of the car, much like many luxury vehicles, is relatively long. The wheel arches are flared but with a smooth transition from the main body area. The lower body and upper body are split by a long main body line that covers the entire length of the car and coincides with the rear lights. At the base of the A pillar, small wing mirrors are mounted. The greenhouse section is bounded by smooth lines and the C pillars present a smooth transition into the third box of the car's body. The car is equipped with split five spoke wheels that are wrapped in low profile tyres.
At the center-top area of the car's rear face a manufacturer emblem is mounted. Not far beneath the emblem is a horizontal chrome strip spanning half the car's width, whose top edge coincides with the top edge of the rear lights. The rear lights are dominantly red units. The license plates are mounted centrally at between the two units. The rear bumper has a top edge that is impressed for the central two-thirds of its width. The base of the rear bumper features two single exhaust tips, one close to either edge.
The Oracle is powered by a V8 (meaning it is based on either a 735i or 745i, the both of them also powered by a V8) Most likely a 745i. Thus it is able to achieve a decent high speed of 166 mph (269 km/h) with satisfactory acceleration. Its handling is superb for a car of its size, and it is durable, owing to its luxury construction. The steering is relatively lifeless however, it can feel a little disconnected from the road. The soft suspension means that the car is comfortable on all surfaces. ABS is avaliable yet interestingly not standard, which is odd considering it is a luxury car.The McReary Mob variant can reach up to a high top speed of 196 mph (315 km/h) due to the addition of a supercharger which the speed is nearly overtaking the Cognoscenti.
The Oracle in GTA V is much sportier. The full sized sedan moves rather swiftly and is powered by a very potent sounding V8. Cornering is an improvement over it's predecessor and braking is impressive. ABS is standard. The Oracle is a large, heavy saloon yet the handling is well balanced and the overall speed is exceptional for such a car.
- The default radio stations for the Oracle are:
- GTA IV: The Journey.
- An Oracle billboard advertisement parodying BMW's advertisement style is seen on billboards around the city, including one in Star Junction.
- "Automatic Arrogance" is likely a reference to the arrogance that BMW (Ubermacht's real life counterpart) drivers may feel driving such a car, owing to its prestige and cost.
- "Automatic" could be a reference to the only transmission choice for a BMW 7 Series, in contrast to other BMW vehicles that have manual transmissions available, as the E65 was the first iteration of the 7 Series not to offer a manual.
- Interestingly, the Oracle in the billboard adverts does not feature any logo on the bonnet.
- The Oracle's name could be a reference to the BMW Oracle Racing team, as Übermacht, based on BMW, manufactures the Oracle. It may also be a slight poke at the Sentinel that it replaces, as a sentinel and an oracle are both things that deal with observing or watching.
- In GTA IV, the Oracle shares the same rim design as the Super Diamond. Coincidentally, BMW, which is parodied in game as "Ubermacht", is the parent company of Rolls-Royce in real life. In fact, during the first stages of designing the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the shell of the E65 BMW 7 Series was used as a design guide, so in a way the Rolls-Royce Phantom is a larger and more luxurious platform mate to the BMW 7 Series.
- XS probably is meant to sound like the word "excess", meaning the car is a luxury buy that is not needed, just desired.
- Despite being a luxurious car, the Oracle doesn't feature voiced GPS.
- In GTA IV, the Schafter and Oracle are competitors like BMW 7 Series and the Mercedes Benz S-Class will compete with each other in real life.
- In GTA V, the V12 engine this car houses is contrary to the engine that real-life BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe houses, which is either a turbocharged 3.0L straight-six or a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8. Bear in mind that if we use FIA formula of multiplying a turbocharged/supercharged car's engine by 1.4, the top-of-the-line variant with the biturbo 4.4L V8 engine should have around 6.160cc, a typical displacement for V12 configuration.
- In Grand Theft Auto Online the second-gen Oracle sells for $8,000 at Los Santos Customs.
- It, along with the Baller, Cavalcade, Schafter, and Faggio, are the only vehicles to have two generations at the same time in game.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- Can sometimes be found in the parking lot across from the Middle Park East Safehouse on Albany Ave.
- Usually one parked at Franklin Street in Steinway.
- The Oracle is mostly found in Algonquin, near City Hall and The Exchange.
- Ray Boccino drives a pearl colored Oracle, which can be taken after Pest Control. He is also seen driving it in Meltdown.
- Patrick McReary drives a modified McReary Mob Oracle, seen in Harboring a Grudge.
- Lyle Rivas owns one, and is taken in Easy as Can Be.
- A rare Oracle XS can be obtained in the mission Taking in the Trash. This Oracle can be changed to a desired color at a Pay N' Spray, without the car immediately going to its default color (dark green).
- In Going Deep, a Ray Bulgarin mission, most of the cars in the parking complex are Oracles, including a hard-to-find red one that Bulgarin and Timur hide behind. If you are relatively careful not to blow it up during the shootout, it's easily stolen in the process of completing the mission, but occasionally vanishes.
- Bulgarin also has a randomly colored Oracle waiting outside his house, in both Dropping In... and In the Crosshairs.
- Can be seen driving on Castle Gardens, or in Middle Park West.
- Can be bought for $80,000 from Southernsanandreassuperautos.com.
Notable owners
- Ray Boccino
- Patrick McReary (owns the Irish version)
- Lyle Rivas (at one time before "Search and Delete").
- Ray Bulgarin
- Gerald McReary
- Timur
- Dave Norton owns a blue Oracle 2 which can be seen in several of his missions.

The SKY contract for RL - good or bad?
Posted 09 December 2012 - 11:25 PM
I'd Rather See Dave Lee Travis Play Macbeth.
Say It!!

And just about double the SuperLeague attendances.
Although if you would like to see a bunch of northern part-timers get beat by 100 points by both the full time Aussies and Kiwi's then thats your prerogative I suppose. I strongly suggest there wouldn't be 142,999 others there with you though.
Yes SL attendances have gone up with the resulting increase in income streams that it brings.
You've concluded that I want to go back to part-time RL, I've never said that I would, and I don't believe that we should. Its still an option though, well within the subject of this thread and can be debated on here even if you don't agree with it - its a forum not a dictatorship.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 11:27 PM
Rain affects attendances.
Yes, the Sky money isn't relative to international attendances. However the £250m is when as Northern Sol points out we were closer in 1994 and fans had hope we may get that series win. After £250m being made available to amongst other things develop players and academies and structures and training methods, we are further away from Australia, which could also adversely affect attendances
The whole thing is far too complex to pin it on one thing.

If you look at the attendance charts I posted elsewhere they fairly follow that curve.
Its all about change, how to handle it and how to manage it. We are in changing times and it can be uncomfortable. Looking at the change management curve, we are all possibly at different points, with some still at stage 1 -shock and denial, and some at stage 2, anger and fear. When Lobby etc get to stage 4, there will be no greater advocates for our game as it is today.

John - i'd contend that the game is always on a number of change curves at any one time!
I agree entirely. it does, though help to understand why we all take the positions we do. Lobby seems to be trapped in stage 1 and 2 at the same time:shock, denial, anger AND fear. That can't be good for him!

One could argue that the RFL may have been able to build a broader portfolio for the game. Instead of focussing just on SL, they could have sold different competitions, different packages on different formats. In the long run they may have had more money.
I don't remember the RFL/SLE ever finding any serious bidders beyond SKY.
When the SKY talks broke down on the second contract the RFL/SLE spoke about how they were not tied to SKY and could stay professional and would explore other avenues.
That was when they had talks with the BBC as the only alternative, the BBC could not offer a quarter of what SKY were offering at the time. The RFL/SLE had to scuttle back to SKY tail between legs.
The question of new sports minded stations coming into the market was always one where could they compete with SKY's offer? Could we sell them something other than SL??.
In the end I've never come across any serious contender for the rights to RL, and they have been raised and discussed on here, unless you can name who they may have been?
Posted 10 December 2012 - 06:56 AM
If we can't sell the game in towns such as Oldham that have played the game in one form or another since day one how can we expect to come up with a formula to sell the game outside of the heartlands?
I don't see we can without the money to elevate a London, Gateshead or a south wales on to a par with a Wigan, a Hull or a Leeds. These clubs could get as good a crowd as many SL clubs at top level when they were competing but for each of them that was little more than a one off (C.crusaders battle with Saints, Gatehead's one season, London's first in SL - sixth best supported club).
So we have to do our best with limited funds.
That returns us to the question - where would the game be today if we had limited ourselves by taking £150,000,000 less money off TV this last 17 years, so that all clubs could stand shoulder to shoulder??
Posted 10 December 2012 - 07:05 AM
Clearly the number of paying spectators has gone up, but the big win comes from the huge amount of money that has been injected into the game by the 150000 to 200000 viewers of the game on Sky.
Well we can't count them twice John?
The money the armchair fan pays for admission to Superleague games is in essence the SKY contract money.
It's a good analogy. One could argue that without the SKY contract we'd lose 150,000 paying RL fans??
However armchair BBC fans would also pay through the license.
So the question remains how would the game have done if it had not received the extra monies SKY gave it over the BBC.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 07:08 AM
Can't say that I'm an expert when it comes to the fine detail of the sky contract
Well SKY money to Superleague clubs is about £1.2M a year.
SL clubs need to pay wages of about £1.6M a year to compete
So really without SKY money there'd be no professional clubs.
That's it simplified if that help you to answer the question.

I don't believe in that at all anymore and have been for a long time now. I believe that all sports or all football codes are great products as long as there are fans who supports them just as passionately as ours. I come from a region where union is very strong and no matter how many times our game is shown on tv it still struggle for players and spectators.
Been listening to this scenario for 60 years, of course the game would exist, both codes would, what the TV money has done is kept the codes apart. Sky is quiet happy "drip feeding" both codes with small contracts, giving them a year round product to fill their screens with.
Semi Pro rugby league (which would be the way the game would go) is and was a great product, no it wouldn't die eve if Union "wiped the floor with us" as you say, It certainly cant wipe the floor with us as a specticle, never will, no matter how many rules they change or how many "sugar daddies" they have willing to to loose £millions.
I remember watching rugby league from the UK on free to air tv in NZ back in the 80's now its mainly all on pay TV.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 10:19 AM
Top division club league - RL, Football, RU and Cricket are all on satellite channels, many with Sky Sports, the biggest of them.
International Level - All apart from cricket have this split amongst terrestrial and satellite channels. RL uses BBC and Sky Sports - the two biggest players in these markets.
In short - I'm not sure what choice we had - the BBC don't broadcast regular league games for any sport any more.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 10:57 AM
I don't believe in that at all anymore and have been for a long time now. I believe that all sports or all football codes are great products as long as there are fans who supports them just as passionately as ours.
But the problem is the passion for semi professional Rugby is much lesser than the passion for professional rugby in either code.
The question remains where would our top division be if it turned semi pro?
How many fans would peel away is a tough one to answer????
Let's be honest about our passion by comparing crowds when a club is doing well in SL to when it is doing badly in CC.
The loss of passion is very high indeed.
Would the fans of the top clubs retain the passion to attend matches, would crowds go back to 1995 levels, would other factors click in like the loss of the top players to union? A sense of decline? Rich men walking away?? the idea RL has no top clubs if it has no professional division?? Or are we all really that passionate that we'd stick by the game in enough numbers??
The passion for GB has fallen, just how further could that fall?? However if our best players are all in Australia honing their skills a la NZ's players maybe it will rise if this improves results??
Are we all really that passionate that we'd stick by the game in enough numbers to stem a decline??

It is a well known that that the RFL (By appointing IMG) and not dealing direct as before totally p----d off vic wakling at sky who ctually offered less money in the end as a punishment to the RFL going the IMG route,in fact it was one of the reason,s why sky went out and signed up the H cup at the time as a backup.There is no alternative at present ESPN could not offer the money SKY do,BT have spent all the budget on premiership soccer and PREMIER SPORTS only offer a production only deal NO CASH.CM
Well that answers Ackroman's point. He may wish to come back.
Would the BBC be happy to sign up the Rugby League "league programme" if we went back to being a semi pro first division??
They want us as a professional sport now, but will they want a semi professional sport? Will the Challenge cup be a spectacle anymore as it is with professional clubs today or as it was in the nineties when top RugbyPlayers from both codes played in it??
A return to semi pro would not put top RL or RU stars on the Wembley stage anymore??
Would the Beeb still want the cup??
Posted 10 December 2012 - 12:46 PM
Usually a competitive game in front of a big crowd, would be a good platform to showcase the sport if it was shown on BBC, its a slight tangent but just wondered if its ever been looked at as an individual event to be sold to broadcasters?
Posted 10 December 2012 - 01:13 PM
How is the World Club Challenge treated by TV companies? Is it rolled in to the Sky Super League package?
Usually a competitive game in front of a big crowd, would be a good platform to showcase the sport if it was shown on BBC, its a slight tangent but just wondered if its ever been looked at as an individual event to be sold to broadcasters?
SKY show it so I cannot see how we can deplete SKY's schedule and get away with it!!
ANYWAY the question is about what would happen if we went back to semi-pro and I'd guess the WCC would not survive?
Posted 10 December 2012 - 01:19 PM
Well that answers Ackroman's point. He may wish to come back.
"What if" threads are OK if you are prepared to allow contributors to speculate within the bounds of firstly possibility and then probability.
However you've already hijacked your own thread by dismissing all possibilities other than one so what's the point?
Your limited thinking that a void left by SKY would never be/ will never be filled by anything or anyone else thus leading to an inevitable reduction of RL to a two bit northern diversion similar to morris dancing is laughable. I have no desire to contribute further on this.
I also note you've clearly made your mind up on the answer and derailed the thread further by limiting the question to "what would RL look like as a part time sport" already.

|This mission crossovers with Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.
- "You mean taking her back, or is this gonna be tranquilo?"
- ― Luis Lopez
Ladies Half Price is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony, given by Gay Tony to Luis Fernando Lopez. It first appeared in GTA IV, played through Niko Bellic's point of view, in Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.
Old Man Ancelotti has ordered Gay Tony and Luis to get back his daughter, or he'll have them both killed. Luis dislikes the idea, but Tony has arranged a meet with the kidnappers of Gracie, to give them the diamonds for her safe return.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in Tony's car
- Go to Pier 45
- Go to the Charge Island Sewage Works
- Shake the gang member off the boat
- Go back to Pier 45
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in 3:35
Shake off the Russian mobster in seven seconds
WalkthroughThis mission is incredibly easy, with most of the important parts within the cutscenes rather than the actual gameplay. The opening cut-scene focuses primarily around Luis & Brucie. Brucie queue's up at the entrance of Maisonette 9. Since Brucie and Roman cannot enter the nightclub because they're not on the list, Dessie doesn't allow them to enter. Luis appears, and allows them to enter. Once the opening cutscene ends, get into Tony's Schafter and drive to the back of Pier 45. There, get into the waiting boat and head over to the pink marker at the Charge Island Waste Management center. Once you float into the pink marker, another cutscene plays.
Luis and Tony meet up with kidnappers, along with a bound-and-gagged Gracie. That's right, it's Niko and Packie. The scene follows out exactly the way it does in Grand Theft Auto IV; after a few tense moments, Tony drops the diamonds in between them and Niko, in which Packie allows Gracie to walk over to Tony. As Luis, Tony, and Gracie turn to leave, Ray Bulgarin and his men show up to take back the diamonds he feels was rightfully his. As Niko and Packie turn to fight them, Luis, Tony, and Gracie run for the boat. Luis shoots one goon who goes after them, but one manages to hop on the back of the boat as they make their getaway.
Back in control, you must shake the goon off the back of the boat by violently shaking the boat left and right until he lets go. Once he's off, Gracie will order Luis to go back and kill Niko and Packie, to which Luis refuses. As Gracie begins to shout at and harass Luis, he then punches her out cold. Head back to the pier to finish the mission.
Video Walkthrough
- This mission appears as Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend from Niko's point of view.
- Like all of Niko's appearances in both DLC's, his hair appears to be much darker than it is in the main game.
- Various characters appear in this mission. Roman and Brucie are seen entering the Maisonette 9. Niko and Packie are seen in Charge Island with Gracie, and Ray shows up with his men interrupting the deal.
- If Luis approaches Packie and Niko or kills them or Gracie before the deal, the deal is off and the mission will fail.
- If Luis stops the boat with the goon holding on, the goon will climb on to the boat and shoot Gracie, failing the mission.
- When Luis and Tony are untying Gracie, you can hear the conversation between Bulgarin and Niko in the background.
- Like in the original GTA IV, Packie uses an Assault Rifle in this mission, while Niko uses a Carbine Rifle.
- Niko cannot be heard using his taunts during this mission, but Packie will occasionally say things.
- An easier way to shake the Mafia member off the boat is to stop the boat, press the exit vehicle button, and shoot the Mafia member. He will fall off and you can continue the mission with no penalty.
- This is currently the last time Luis and Niko have crossed paths.
- Another easy way to shake the Mafia member quickly is to reverse, causing him to fall off instantly.
- After this mission, Rocco will call you and the penultimate mission Party's Over is unlocked.
- This is the only crossover mission in the GTA IV era, along with Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend and Three Leaf Clover, not to involve Johnny Klebitz.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Matt Schaub threw the game's lone touchdown to
Arian Foster, and the Houston Texans prevailed in a defensive slugfest,
posting a 13-6 win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
Foster had 102 yards on 29 carries and added 15 yards on five receptions for
the Texans (8-1), who tied a franchise record by winning their fourth
consecutive road game.
Jason Campbell filled in at quarterback for a concussed Jay Cutler, but
couldn't lead Chicago (7-2) on a game-tying drive in the waning moments.

*freelancer hired. Thanks for all replies*
Map for upcomig indie IPAD rpg-roughelike(ish) game.
I am in need of a map, the canvas is exaclty the size of the included example image.
The example is pieced toghther by a few 'stencils' my illustrator created, and might be used as a guideline for style.
Other styles can be considered if presented.
The map should contain an area of a fictional world, and takes place on the border of the imperial realms towards the 'savage' land.
A small village, once the frontier town of the raging wars before the peace set in, is now a refugee for treasure hunters, bandits, insane, heroes and bounty hunters.
The map needs 6 keypoint areas ( to be described better) that the player can visit to conquer the dungeon/tower or to visit the merchant. These key areas need two different states: active and 'beaten'
Timeframe is rather loose, but I would like to have it finished within some weeks.
Please send offers or questions to email@example.com

DETROIT (AP) -- Ford says it will make 40,000 additional cars and trucks this year by cutting a week out of the normal summer shutdown at 13 factories.
Auto plants normally close for two weeks around the July 4 holiday to switch production to the next model year.
But Ford says the plants will close for only one week in order to keep up with rising demand for Ford vehicles.
Plants that will close for just a week include factories in Canada and in Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Kentucky.
Through April, U.S. auto sales ran at an annual rate above 14 million. Last year sales were only 12.8 million. Ford sales are up 5 percent so far this year.

Explore the life and legacy of Joshua L Chamberlain, the scholar-turned-soldier from Maine, whose heroic actions at Little Round Top in the battle of Gettysburg became Civil War legend.
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain is perhaps best known for his heroic actions in the Battle of Gettysburg. The 34-year-old college professor from Maine would lead a fierce bayonet charge down the hill into the face of the enemy, shattering the Confederate attack. His was a life of service. From the halls of Bowdoin College, to the battlefield, to the governor's mansion, Chamberlain exemplified the best of the 19th century manhood. "Joshua Chamberlain: Scholar, Soldier, Statesman" explores the life and legacy of Joshua Chamberlain; the early years that shaped him, his distinguished service in the Civil War, and his role as statesman upon his return home.
Joshua Chamberlain: Scholar, Soldier, Statesman was produced by Carroll Productions.

Prison For Criminally Insane Opens At 48 Bond -- Oops, Them's Condos!
It's an honest mistake to confuse the newly finished - and sold out! - condos at 48 Bond with The Tombs prison or any other depressing maximum security mental or criminal facility. It's grey - the developer likes to call it 'black' - it's cold, it's austere, and it's a perfect home for hardened, emotionless, unimaginative inhabitants who require conformity and uniformity. No shortage of those these days! I never thought I'd say this, but it makes Ian Schrager's 40 Bond, next door, look like an enchanting fairytale chalet - at least it has some character and individuality about it. But this stone and steel horror show at 48, is an ice-y, soulless mess and looks like a frozen storage annex for the nearby Avalon projects. Yet, at the same time, I sort of feel sorry for it because it's so homely. Of the four new modern structures that have risen on this block in recent years, this is definitely the ugly step-sister. There's nothing sophisticated, elegant, or rich about it as the architect's website likes to boast. I will agree that it's simple, modest, and complex but not in any complimentary meaning of the words. Simple and complex? Sure thing, Debby.
This block was once lined with the ornate mansions of New York's early aristocrats. They would socialize on the sidewalks or on their grand stoops and promenade down Bond. As I walk down this street today, there is little life to it other than a few restaurant patrons and a few dogs being walked. However, there is beginning to be a bit more spillover from the frathole partiers on Bowery as several fresh puddles of vomit are almost always on the sidewalks in the mornings. And now there's a symbol for the lifeless and vacuous who now consider themselves the new aristocracy in this neighborhood- a frigid monument to all that is shallow, transparent, and devoid of any color except their spray-on tans and blonde highlights, that is. Welcome home to 48 Bond, Patrick Bateman!
And for bigger New York architectural disasters, click here.
