North Campus Research Complex after 3 years and $200M: 'Are we making the most of the opportunity?'
AnnArbor.com file photo
In fact, the dean of the University of Michigan medical school was quite the opposite, leading a contingent of college officials that thought purchasing the 2.2-million-square-foot Pfizer complex was a smart, albeit aggressive, move.
The 28-building, 174-acre complex was a gamble to be sure: Normally you have enough staff to fill a building, and a stated need for a facility, before the facility comes along. And while the medical school was pinched for space, there were hardly — and still aren't — enough existing bodies or uses to fill the complex.
"When the university typically builds a building, it pretty much has all the occupants in mind for the building so that when the building opens, it's pretty full," explained David Canter, executive director of the North Campus Research Complex. Canter led the site when it was under the ownership of pharmaceutical company Pfizer. "NCRC represented a very different strategy. ... We didn't have all the occupants lined up and it was seen as a completely different way of working.
"We took a risk," he continued.
The outcome, U-M officials have since surmised, turned out to be well worth the risk; and now the conversation over NCRC has turned tide.
"The risk is not seen as a such a risk anymore, now it's seen as 'are we making the most of the opportunity?' " Canter said.
University President Mary Sue Coleman said recently that she considers the acquisition of the Pfizer complex one of the top accomplishments of her tenure, which began in 2002.
"Universities never have the chance to purchase 2.2 milliion square feet of space and all this land at pennies on the dollar," she said. The complex sat untouched on the market for a full two years after Pfizer's closure and was losing value.
When U-M first acquired the complex in June 2009, Vice President for Research Stephen Forrest called it "a way to re-envision actually how the University of Michigan does research fundamentally."
Angela J. Cesere | AnnArbor.com
In a recent interview, Woolliscroft said the acquisition allowed U-M faculty and administrators to "think differently."
"For the first time in our history we had sufficient space. Space wasn't a limiting factor. When space is the limiting factor then you're very reluctant to use it for more experimental relationships and collaborations," he said. "In some ways it's the coffee pot. [NCRC] is allowing people to bump into one another."
Center spawns institute
As NCRC marks its third year, the complex has reached a new milestone: It has spawned its first institute, one that includes economists, public health researchers, engineers, medical researchers and behavioral scientists.
The Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation has set up shop in NCRC, bringing 400 existing university faculty and researchers together to create a nucleus of health care research in Ann Arbor.
Officials are hoping that NCRC can facilitate the key ingredient necessary to make the institute a success: collaboration. It's an ingredient that's been missing from efforts at Duke and Harvard universities, creating failures in innovation, says interim institute director Rod Hayward.
"A lot of unviersities have tried to do this," Hayward said in an interview with AnnArbor.com. "There's all of these successful investigators doing their own thing. To get them to [collaborate] with other individuals ... can be hard."
The institute's success, he added, will hinge on making sure the barriers to collaboration are minimal, researchers are using the space well, having seminar series that are top-notch and that bring people together for discussion and interaction, and establishing best practices for submitting grants.
The number of research grants U-M received in 2011 is down from the number received in 2010, recent budget figures show.
Woolliscroft said that the institute would "absolutely not" exist if U-M did not purchase NCRC: "Without NCRC we wouldn't have even been thinking along those lines."

$300 million over six years
Since the $108 million purchase of the complex, the university has put nearly $92 million in additional investments into NCRC, including construction projects and yearly operating costs.
The university is spending $13.7 million to renovate a 120,000 gross-square-foot NCRC building for health services research and is planning to renovate or repair 10 additional NCRC buildings by the end of 2013. Other costs that are difficult to quantify include administrative support surrounding NCRC, faculty recruitment efforts and the overall operation of a expanded research enterprise.
In the next three years, the university expects to invest another $100 million in NCRC, bringing the tab to $300 million.
When the university chose to purchase NCRC, the medical school agreed to pay operating costs for the complex's first 10 years, Woolliscroft said.
Today, the complex costs roughly $18 million a year to operate, including utilities and maintenance but not accounting for faculty salaries or administrative support.
Those costs are shouldered by each of the medical school departments and centers, including ones that don't currently use NCRC space.
Woolliscroft called the cost sharing a "tax that each of the departments have imposed on every faculty member," but said that in his experience faculty made the sacrifice willingly because "what's in all of their interests is to enhance ... the standing of the medical school."
Other departments and schools that use NCRC space also contribute toward operating costs.
Isolated from Central Campus
When Woolliscroft began advocating U-M's purchase of the old Pfizer complex, one of his platforms was the proximity of NCRC to existing university property. The complex is adjacent to North Campus and, as Woolliscroft puts it, 100 years from now when the NCRC buildings are outdated, the property could provide "wonderful flexibility and opportunities for the university" to expand.
But while NCRC is close to university property, it's far from the active and heavily populated Central Campus and Medical Campus and some faculty have been reluctant to trade the buzz of campus life for more isolated NCRC quarters.
AnnArbor.com file photo
Steven Katz, a medical school faculty member, had such concerns during his move from Central Campus to NCRC last month.
"As a team we were hesitant about the NCRC move, especially me. I live in Burns Park, my offices were on campus and I was happy walking or riding my bike to work for 20 years," he said. "So I was particularly resistant to the move as were many of my colleagues located near Central Campus."
But Katz said that a week into his new office, he began to understand the advantages of working at NCRC.
"[It's a ] very dynamic, inviting work environment now increasingly populated by a wide community of investigators and staff ... across divisions and departments who I can now engage in ways that were challenging on central campus," he said.
Internal U-M survey results indicate that satisfaction with NCRC has increased in the past year. In 2012, roughly three-fourths of employees expressed a high or moderate level of satisfaction with the space, up from 65 percent of respondents in 2011.
However, preliminary 2012 survey results indicate that 21 percent of employees are dissatisfied on some level with collaboration at NCRC, compared with 29 percent of respondents reporting dissatisfaction in 2011.
Growing faster than projected
When the university first acquired NCRC, officials predicted that it could take as many as 10 years to reach capacity, which is projected at between 3,000 and 3,500 employees.
Today, Canter says the university is four to five years out from having that many employees on site. "I don't think it will take the full 10 years," he said.
There are currently 1,423 workers on site at NCRC and roughly one in six of them are new hires, according to U-M data. The majority are from the medical school; others include public health, economics, social work, engineering, pharmacy and dentistry.
By the end of 2012, the school is expecting upward of 1,700 employees on site.
Additionally, 18 startups are located in the incubator and the university also has leased NCRC space to the Veterans Administration Hospital of Ann Arbor.
Although the facility is 2.2 million square feet in total, just more than 1 million of the square footage is what U-M considers assignable, or usable for office, research or gathering purposes. Of that space, 440,700 square feet is assigned.
Canter says that without U-M's June 2009 investment, it's likely that the complex would still be sitting empty, unused.
"If Pfizer hadn't sold it to the University of Michigan it would probably still be empty, unsold," Canter said. "Maybe even Pfizer would be contemplating bringing its costs down by knocking as much down as possible."

Written by Michelle Kretzer
In June, the Board of Commissioners of Fulton County, Georgia, at the urging of PETA, Demi Moore, local citizens, and other animal advocates, banned the use of bullhooks, fireplace poker–like goads that are used to beat and hook elephants in sensitive areas of their bodies in order to make them obey commands. This meant that if Ringling Bros. wanted to bring the Cruelest Show on Earth to Atlanta, it would have to leave behind the torture devices that the elephants fear.
But with its Atlanta shows scheduled to start this week, Ringling, knowing that it can't control the elephants without bullhooks and so would have to leave the pachyderms out of the ring, filed a plea for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the ban on Monday afternoon, claiming that there was no specific intergovernmental agreement between Fulton County and the city of Atlanta and that the ban did not apply in the city. To everyone's surprise, Ringling got its way, and the TRO was granted.
PETA has issued the following statement:
The legislation banning bullhooks was passed because of a serious commitment by the citizens and commissioners of Fulton County to prohibit this sort of animal abuse in their community. The Municipal Code of Atlanta very clearly incorporates all of the Fulton County animal control ordinances—including the bullhook ban. PETA is concerned that the clearly worded prohibition and the wishes of Fulton County citizens have been disregarded without a proper legal basis. Bullhooks, as admitted by Ringling trainers and executives, are used to beat, jab, hook, and yank elephants in order to force them to obey. There are only two uses for a bullhook: to inflict pain and to instill a fear of pain. While a ban on the use of bullhooks is an important step in the right direction, it is now clear that anyone who cares about elephants and other captive exotic animals must make the compassionate decision never to attend a circus that uses animals.
Fulton County Commissioner Robb Pitts issued a statement saying he believes that there was an implied agreement between Atlanta and Fulton County and that the ban should be upheld.
Compassionate people are making their voices heard, and they will continue until the beatings under the big top stop.

If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department.

UNION — An event held Friday at Union County Fairgrounds gave local students in second and fifth grades a look at careers — on wheels.
The idea for the Careers on Wheels event came from Lockhart School guidance counselor Jennifer Seeman. Seeman originally thought of the event as something for students at her school, but later decided to collaborate with career facilitator Wilbur Smith and turn the event into a district-wide experience.
A total of around 600 students visited the fairgrounds on Friday, rotating through various stations and exploring vehicles.
"We are very appreciative of everyone who donated their time, being away from their career and day-to-day activities to be here," Seeman said at the event.
Second-graders and fifth graders enjoyed playing with sirens and loudspeakers on fire trucks, imagining being behind the wheel of a race car they could see up close, seeing maintenance and waste vehicles in action and asking lots of questions of all kinds.
Seeman said she and Smith are looking forward to making Careers on Wheels an annual event.
Staff Writer Derik Vanderford can be reached at 864-427-1234, ext. 29, or by email at email@example.com.

Before rushing out to bid on any Sherrif Sale, make sure you are knowledgeable about the process. You need a certified check to seal the transaction, know how you will pay for it, and be ready to close on the transaction within 30 days. Definitely understand what liens you WILL be assuming on the property and costs involved.

So sad for these people. so sad. There by the grace of God go we. Obama has destroyed the American economy, the government pre-Obama has destroyed the housing market and banks...and as Americans we must stop government from becoming larger.
Fact Checker
11:06 pm on Sunday, December 23, 2012
Kathleen - It's kinda hard to blame this one on Obama. The house on Drummond was bough in 1987 for $54,000.00 It was sold to Atlantic mortgage and Investment corporation in 1999 and refinanced 12 times all 6 years prior to Obama getting elected for his first term. I'm pretty sure this one could be chalked up to shady financing. I'm betting this couple could have used some government regulations at their bank. It is very sad for these people how corporations and private financial companies took advantage of them. I for one am glad there is some new government regulation to keep the market from robbing every American that is fortunate enough to own a home. Good luck to the Crawford's I hope our big government can protect them from the vultures of business better next time.
8:29 am on Monday, December 24, 2012
Fact Checker, during this Christmas season I pray to big government.
Please protect us for all that is bad and scary in this world. Please watch over us and make sure we don't make bad decisions, you see we aren't as smart as you. Please with your almighty wisdom take care of us when we are sick, when we are old, this is a frightening world and we couldn't succeed without you. Please, punish the evil corporations and taketh from the rich and giveth to me. Please use your holy all knowing bureaucracy to make choices for us that we are incapable of making. Please provide food, shelter, clothing, and cell phones to us.
In the name of Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid I pray. Amen.

As your principal for 2012-13 school year, I look forward to meeting and connecting with all of the students and their families. I am a retired principal who was asked to serve Pine School for the current school year and I look forward to doing so. My MCAS administrative experience includes nineteen years as the Niemann principal followed by 12 years as the Joy principal.
My life-long professional fantasy has been to serve as a principal for a school with the visual and performing arts as its foundation for learning. Little did I know that opportunity would become a reality eight years after my retirement. I now embrace that opportunity with full-fledged enthusiasm.
Pine Elementary School, Magnet School for the Visual and Performing Arts, is located in northeastern Porter County near the towns of Beverly Shores, Michigan City, and The Pines. Grade level teams of teachers collaborate on science and social studies themes and integrate the arts using the State of Indiana approved standards. Each grade level team presents a showcase of their work once a year to the community. These showcases consist of live performances, student portfolios and classroom displays.
The school partners with local artists, community organizations, and local universities in order to accomplish this. We believe that we are living proof that the arts are transforming education in Michigan City!
Students are expected to meet the high expectations in place for behavior which are consistently and firmly supported by the entire Pine community. Following school procedures and displaying the virtues of respect, honor, and effort is important to all of us for maintaining a safe, positive environment for maximum learning.
As the partnership between home and school is vital to the success of all students, I encourage you to become involved in school activities as often as possible. Your time and commitment are highly desired and greatly valued. Together we will make Pine the best it can be and then some.
Dale Ferraro
Principal, Pine School

People from the community came out to watch a play about the birth of Christ. Some even had the chance to become an actor.
"It's the reason for the season. It's about community. It's not just church members, but anybody who wants to participate off the street," said Rob Sweeney, Old Dutch Church Living Nativity Coordinator.
The living nativity wouldn't be complete without animals - three donkeys and one goat. They were donated by members of the community.

The pending substitute (Mr. Graham's)was rejected, and the amendment (Mr. Chapman's)was adopted.
Mr. BRISCOE by way of substitute for the pending amendment, moved to strike from the bill Section 8, which would cause a Board of Health of to spring up in every city,town and Township in the State, entailing an expense on the people--no one can tell how much.
Mr. VAN VORHIS believed the expense would be so small as to be of little importance. He desired to reduce the expenses to the lowest possible amount.
Mr. WOOLLEN understands the intention is to prevent the machine this bill will put in motion from being run by politicians. There are now employed in almost every Township of the State physicians to the poor, and this section would probably not increase very largely the present expense, were they to perform the additional duties required by this bill.
Mr. KEISER hoped the substitute would not prevail, as it would disarrange the whole bill. He could not see the force of objections urged against it. There should be provision made for County, Township and City Boards of Health. If the State Board can not receive aid from Counties, cities and towns it will be in a great degree limited in usefulness. He saw no saving to accrue to the people by striking out this section, as its absence will devolve much more labor on the State Board.
Mr. SPANN insisted there must be machinery in the several Counties and Townships to aid the efforts of the State Board, if the bill shall pass. He opposed striking out the section. If a State Board of Health is not worth what little expense this section will incur, the bill had better not be passed, but voted down at once.
Mr. BRISCOE insisted this section would create two physicians to each Township in addition to those now employed. If the bill would provide that it shall not create any extra offices he would be content.
Mr. MACARTNEY knew of no such office under the law as Township Physician. Ia his County there are three Townships without a resident physician.
The motion [Mr. Briscoe's] was rejected.
Mr. VOYLES thought this section extends too far in that it creates Boards in each Township, and while he would not commit himself in favor to the bill, yet, if it be passed, he desired it cut down in its extent. It seems unnecessary to go as far as this bill proposes, especially as a starter. Should the plan operate well, in after time he would favor its extension. He moved a substitute for the section giving each town, corporation city or County a Board of Health.
Mr. VAN VORHIS believed the substitute would deprive the rural Districts of any advantages to be derived from the bill, and would destroy its purpose of collecting vital statistics.
Mr. VOYLES insisted that the vital statistics can be complied in sufficient quantity and perfectly reliable under his substitute. His substitute simply cuts off a work of supererogation in many Townships; and certainly goes far enough.
page: 85[View Page 85]The substitute was rejected.
Mr. SAYRE noticed a clause making an appropriation of $10,000 for the purpose of putting in operations this act; and was anxious to know on what account and for what purpose this money will be expended. He moved an amendment "that the County and Township officers shall perform the duties required of them by this act without compensation."
The amendment was agreed to.
On motion by Mr. CHAPMAN, the order of business was suspended, and the Senate adopted the House concurrent resolution accepting an invitation on to visit Purdue University, and providing for an adjournment of both Houses at 11 o'clock a.m. on Tuesday next for that purpose.
Mr. SMITH offered an amendment for the protection of those ignorant of provisions of the bill, so they shall not be liable to fine for failure to comply with its provisions, unless doing so willfully in relation to reporting births and deaths. It was agreed to.
Mr. Bundy moved to strike out the clause directing the Secretary of State to furnish postage, stationery and other direct and incidental expenses of the Board of Health.
It was agreed to.
On motion by Mr. CHAPMAN, the number of rooms allowed for the State Board was restricted to one.
Mr. WOOD moved to reduce the appropriation from $10,000to $8,000.
Mr. VAN VORHIS offered a substitute appropriating $5,000 per annum for the Board, and providing that the expenses shall in no event exceed $5,000 a year.
It was agreed to.
On motion by Mr. GRAHAM, the emergency clause was stricken out.
The bill as amended was then ordered to be engrossed for the time third reading.
Mr. Woolen's [S. 23] to protect the elective franchise, coming up in order, it was read the third time.
That any person who shall hire or buy, or, offer to hire or buy, either of himself or by any one else, or who shall furnish any money or other things of value to be used to hire or buy or permit his money or other things of value to be used to hire, buy or induce any person to vote for any candidate for any office, or any person who shall attempt to induce any person to vote for any candidate by offering any reward or favor to any person for the purpose of influencing such a person's vote for any candidate; or any voter of this State who shall sell or barter his vote for any money, property, or thing of value, or for any promise or hope of reward given or offered by any candidate, or by any other person or persons, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $50, and shall be disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust or profit for any period of time not less than two nor more than five years.
In examinations before the Grand Jury and in prosecutions under the provisions of this act any person may be examined and compelled to testify touching all the facts, but when the person so testifies by requirement of the Court, he shall be exempt from prosecutions or punishments for the offense or offenses about which he so testifies.
Mr. WOOLLEN explained that the bill simply fixes penalties and makes it a misdemeanor to use money improperly at elections in this State. The statute of 1879 makes it a misdemeanor for anyone to sell his vote, which virtually estops the enforcement of the law of 1867. This bill repeals all laws on this subject.
The bill passed by yeas, 40; nays, 0.
Mr. Brown's bill [S. 44] to amend Section 10 of the act of March 31, 1879, concerning contempt of Court, coming up in order, it was read the third time, and passed by yeas, 40; nays, 0.
Mr. Hefron's bill [S. 26] to amend Section 76 of the act for the settlement of decedents' estates, being read the third time--
Mr. HEFRON explained that the bill allows a petition for the sale of real estate of decedents to be heard in term time. The bill would do away with the existing law, requiring fifty-one days notice before the commencement of Court term.
The bill passed by yeas, 36; nays 0.
On motion by Mr. POINDEXTER, the Constitutional Rule was dispensed with by a two-thirds vote, and his bill [S. 32] to amend Section 2 of an act for the formation of Voluntary Associations was read the second time by title only, consider as engrossed, read the third time, and the question then being: Shall the bill pass?
Mr. POINDEXTER explained the only point in the bill is that it provides for the formation of organizations for dredging or deepening the channels of rivers and creeks, and for the improvement of harbors. It is a measure greatly desired in his section of the state.
Mr. VOYLES stated that this bill is drawn with a view of accommodating a demand made very generally along the line of the Ohio River.
The bill was passed by yeas, 37; nay 0.
The Senate adjourned.

Luxe vs. Less Nail Polish
Chanel Blue Satin or other nail trends out of your budget? Fool everyone with these look-alikes
The only visible difference between Lippmann Collection Color Nail Lacquer in Don't Call Me Baby, $15, and Creative Nail Design Nail Lacquer in Translucent Tangerine, $6, is that the former contains a yellow-gold sparkle and the latter contains a white-gold sparkle. (CND's take, available in April, is also a tad glossier.) But as far as sheer, bright color goes, the two look identical.

You can use your keyboard's multimedia keys with lineakd. You can install lineakd with package manager from contrib repo.
Contents |
Installing Your Keyboard
You can see the list of supported keyboards' list with this command:
lineakd -l
If Your Keyboard is Not in the List
If you can't see your keyboard in the list, check the same brands' other keyboard models.Manufacturers use the same "key codes" generally.
If your keyboard is not in the list, open the keyboard database file with this command:
sudo kwrite /etc/lineakkb.def
Add your keyboards' data to the file and save:
Code: |
[HPdv6196] brandname = "Hewlett-Packard" modelname = "Pavilion dv6196" [KEYS] Mute = 160 VolumeDown = 174 VolumeUp = 176 Play = 162 Previous = 144 Next = 153 Stop = 164 [END KEYS] [END HPdv6196] |
How to see "key code"
Type this command in the console to see the "key code":
After this command push down the multimedia key and look at the console output. For instance if you push the "left ctrl" key, you will get an output like this:
Code: |
KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 3329605, (-46,394), root:(632,450), state 0x14, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False |
The integer value is indicated with "keycode etc." (in this example: 37)
Setting up the keys
Set the keyboard model with this command:
lineakd -c HPdv6196
Now you have a hidden file named ".lineak in your /home directory. Open the lineakd.conf file and assign the commands:
Code: |
Mute = Next = "amarok --next" Play = "amarok --play-pause" Previous = "amarok --previous" Stop = "amarok --stop" VolumeDown = VolumeUp = PrintScreen = ksnapshot |
You can define whatever you wish here (like juk, xmms, kaffeine, kmix)...
Start Lineak
Give this command in console to start the lineak:
Loading Lineak at Start up
Give this command, as user, in console to start lineak automatically at start up:
ln -s /usr/bin/lineakd ~/.kde/Autostart/

Adrienne Chippendale
CHIPPENDALE, Adrienne (Ashton) (Doiron) formerly of Montreal, Que. Passed away at Grass Nursing Home, Riverview, NB on October 6, 2012 at the age of 95.
Born in Port Elgin, NB to Laurent and Virginnie (Ouellette) Doiron (Gould).
She began her working career at the Aluminum Co. of Canada in Arivda, Que., A.R. Williams, Montreal and the majority of years until retirement for Gillette of Canada, Montreal, Que. as Assistant Personnel Manager. During her working years and afterwards she enjoyed her chalet in the Laurentians. Upon her retirement she was a Snowbird to the Daytona Beach area where she enjoyed Crafts, Shuffleboard, Painting Classes and Bridge to the age of 92. She was a great sport upon learning why the medical staff were a-twitter over her last name. After some prompting she could show them a "decent photo" of her "boys". She was a breast cancer survivor from the age of 83.
Adrienne is predeceased by her first husband, Charles Ashton and second husband James Chippendale. The last surviving member of her immediate family she was also predeceased by her sisters, Dorita Jaehrling (Logan), Carmelita McQuade (Muzeral) (Dion), Marie Bourque and a brother Arthur Gould, and a step-son Howard Ashton (Eleanor).
Adrienne is sadly missed and survived by a grandson, Howard Ashton; sister-in-law Phyllis Gould; she was very kind and generous to her nieces and nephews, Christopher Read, Virginia Brisebois, Anne Stevens (Harold), Paul Bourque (Elaine), John Bourque, Rachelle Dow (David), Peter Bourque (Heather), Henry Bourque (Margaret), Isabelle Gould, Suzanne Strother, Lawrence Gould and Joanne Gould and children of her nieces and nephews. She will be missed by a family friend Ola Williams.
Adrienne's remains have been cremated under the care of the Furlong Jones Funeral Home, Amherst (902-667-8777). By her request there will be no visitation or services. A private internment will be held at the St. Clement's Parish Cemetery, Port Elgin at a later date. Donations may be made to St. Clement's Cemetery, Port Elgin, NB, the Cancer Society or a charity of the donor's choice.

Many armies are highly limited in their lores. Skaven's magic is pretty good, not phenomenal (bar 13th) but it really is nothing to complain about. There is a reason big tournaments have been won by double-seer Skaven lists...
But you don't end up seeing these "proper" Skaven lists. That is the problem with them - they have clear and defined weaknesses in theory but in practice they have the means to counter it. In this case, Strength in Numbers.Leadership: Skaven still suffer big time. Yes if you play with two big blocks of slaves you are probably not going to fail a test. But that kind of list is boring. A proper skaven list with globadiers and weapon teams and the such, is so open to panic tests. All you need to do is send a volley of arrows at a weapon team and poof. It only has one wound. This causes panic on the nearby units. Now given the ld is high, the more rolls you take the more chance of a failure eventually. This is what gets me every time, people shooting up the support units. the support units are fun though, so don't discount them, unless you want a mathhammer slave horde of boring browness.
Use rat darts instead. They aren't supposed to be your main blocks! They are supposed to die and hold units up. Look at their cost and the amount that they can do to hold an opponent. It is ridiculous.Slaves: yes they are steadfast, but they die in droves. In droves dear man! Really I prefer my slaves in small units for sacrafices and redirectors, since they are that cheap, but in combat as my main blocks, pfft. Give me clanrats instead.
See that's the thing, they do have weak heroes on paper. But they also have doomrockets and brass orbs - little, super cheap bits and bobs that are no-brainers yet can have a significant impact on the game.Heroes: Unless you didn't notice, our heroes are the worst in the game. Intentionally. I like it too. They are weedy and have a kittens chance in hell of killing anything, nevermind the vampire lords with red fury. So when heroes come ramming into our armies they do so unmolested. Even if you tool up a lord to counter this, its still not good odds. Only the fellblade is close to good enough and that risky. The best I aim for is my assassin with weeping blade and other tricksters shard killing a bsb or wizard.
Eh they aren't that broken really. If you aren't prepared for dealing with regenerating units/monsters then you deserve to be crushed by them (Beastmen and Orcs and Goblins excluded). Generally they aren't a huge problem; they take some effort to destroy but they are worth a lot of points. They can make for one sided games if your opponent cannot deal with them, but that is mostly their fault anyway. I will say that the rules (like much of the book) for it are an abomination (sorry). The Skaven book is GW's worst in a long, long time.The abom: really why do people cry about it so much. The movement is random and if you shoot it with a little bit of fire, then it dies horribly. Its expensive too. Yes it destroys things utterly in close combat, but then you should try avoid it no? I will say taking two abombs is pretty disgusting, but one is fun.
Again, I'm not sure that this is a huge problem. Unfortunately some armies cannot deal with it (Wood Elves struggle in particular), but overall I'd say it is so unreliable that it isn't the worst thing in the list. The Skaven book has so many cheap and too reliable options in it, which is its big problem.The doomwheel: again as above except that if you charge it first its completely useless has a low LD score and no stubborn.

Catalog Home Page
Info for ALL STUDENTS
Info for Undergraduate Students
Info for Master's Degree Students
Info for Doctoral Students
Financial Aid - Info for ALL STUDENTS
Catalog Requirements Students may choose to meet the academic program requirements of the Guide to Programs in force at the time of their admission to the campus as a degree candidate or of any Guide in force during a subsequent period, not to exceed seven years for bachelor's candidates, six years for master's candidates, and eight years for doctoral candidates. Students who are unable to complete graduation requirements within the specified time, may, at the discretion of the academic program, be held responsible for requirements of the Guide in force during their graduation year, or may be required to re-take courses. In the event a student elects to graduate under requirements specified in a Guide to Programs subsequent to the one under which he or she entered UIS, the student must formally notify his or her adviser and the registrar.
Assessment As an institution in which excellence in teaching is an overriding goal, UIS takes seriously its obligation to look carefully and systematically at what students learn - in other words, to assess student learning outcomes. Information about UIS' assessment activities, including an annual report on the campus-wide effort to improve assessment practices, can be found at the assessment website at www.uis.edu/assessment.
Academic Advising UIS is committed to advising students at all phases of their education. General education advisers can assist students with course planning throughout the undergraduate degree. They help ensure that students meet all requirements of the UIS General Education Curriculum, including the Engaged Citizenship Common Experience.
Faculty advisers work with individual students to see that satisfactory progress is made toward the degree as well as toward personal and career goals. Students can change advisers at any time by completing a Selection of Faculty Adviser form with the newly selected adviser. Students have substantial initiative in the academic advising process and should arrange appointments with their advisers before each registration, but especially the first and last.
Freshmen enrolled in the Capital Scholars Honors Program are assigned an honors adviser in their first semester. Undergraduate transfer and master's degree students will be formally assigned a faculty adviser during the first semester. Fully admitted doctoral students will be assigned a temporary faculty adviser who will work with them until they have selected a permanent adviser and Plan of Study Committee.
Course Numbering System The three-letter prefix indicates that the course is in a particular program (e.g., SWK – social work; HIS – history), or a Capital Scholars Honors (CAP), applied study term (AST), public affairs colloquium (PAC), liberal studies colloquium (LSC), or university (UNI) course. CAP courses are open only to students enrolled in the Capital Scholars Honors Program.
The three-digit identifying number signifies who may enroll in the course for credit, as follows: 100-199 Open to all undergraduate students. An introductory course is generally appropriate for first-year students. 200-299 Open to any student who has completed the 100-level prerequisites, if any. 300-399 Generally intended for juniors and seniors, but others may register if they have completed 200-level prerequisites, if any. 400-499 Advanced undergraduate, as well as master's students. 500-599 Master's students and doctoral students (with permission of their advisers. Additional work and permission of instructor may be required for doctoral-level students to count the course toward their concentration.) 600-699 Doctoral students
The following terminology is associated with UIS course numbers: Courses numbered 100 to 299 are considered lower-division undergraduate courses. Courses numbered 300 to 499 are considered upper-division undergraduate courses. Courses numbered 500-599 are considered master's courses. Courses numbered 600-699 are considered doctoral courses. Both master's and doctoral courses are considered graduate courses. Courses ending in 99 are tutorials.
English language proficiency Students whose native language is not English and who have not earned an associate degree in the U.S. must take an English proficiency test on campus the week before registration. This applies to all students -- U.S. citizens, resident aliens, and nonresident aliens alike. Test results do not affect admission to UIS but will be used to determine the need for an English as a Second Language class.
Undergraduates Applicants whose native language is not English must submit official international TOEFL scores. A score of not less than 500 (paper based), 173 (computer based), or 61 (Internet based) fulfills the English proficiency requirement for undergraduate admission. Those who earned an associate degree in the United States with a GPA of 2.00 or better on a 4.00 scale are not required to submit international TOEFL scores. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement can enroll at an ESL Language Center. Proficiency certification by ESL meets the English language requirement for admission. Master's Degree Students Applicants whose native language is not English must submit official international TOEFL scores. A score of not less than 550 (paper based), 213 (computer based), or 79 (Internet based) fulfills the English proficiency requirement for admission to master's-level study at UIS. Applicants who hold a U.S. bachelor's degree with a GPA of 2.50 or higher (on a 4.00 scale) are not required to submit TOEFL scores. Note: Some programs require a GPA of 3.00 to waive TOEFL. See individual program statements for any additional proficiency requirements. Doctoral Students Applicants whose native language is not English must submit official international TOEFL scores. A score of at least 575 (paper based), 232 (computer based), or 88 (Internet based) fulfills the English proficiency requirement for admission to doctoral study at UIS.
Graduation Contract Undergraduate and Master's Degree students may file a graduation contract with the Office of Records and Registration during any semester or summer term in which degree requirements will be completed. The contract must be approved by the faculty adviser and the program administrator. Doctoral students must have the contract approved by the adviser and the program chair. Students may submit graduation contracts for early evaluation during their next-to-last term.
Forms are available in the Office of Records and Registration and on-line at www.uis.edu/registration/forms/index.html; deadlines are posted each semester.
Immunization Requirement The state of Illinois requires that students entering a four-year institution of higher education provide proof of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, and tetanus. Students who were born before 1957, are taking online classes only, or are registered only for classes outside Sangamon County are exempt from this requirement. An exemption based on religious grounds can be requested by providing appropriate documentation to that effect. Medical exemptions require documentation by a physician describing the contraindication and the date the exemption is expected to end.
Immunization forms must be complete and on file before 5 p.m. on the 10th official day of the semester during the fall and spring semesters, or the 5th official day of the summer term. Students who are not in compliance will be assessed a non-refundable $25 fee for late processing. According to Illinois state law, students who are not in compliance by their second semester at UIS will not be allowed to register until the required information is complete and submitted to the Campus Health Service. Direct questions about this policy to the Campus Health Service, (217) 206-6676.
International Students: See relevant section in "Admission for international students seeking bachelor's degrees" for important information on mandatory tuberculin skin tests for international students.
Second Degrees Bachelor's Degrees Those who have already earned a baccalaureate degree and seek a second one from UIS must complete all hours toward the major that are required by the academic program. A minimum of 30 semester hours toward the second degree must be completed at UIS. If the first degree was earned at another institution, the student must meet UIS upper division general education requirements. Master's Degrees All program and campus requirements for the master's degree are in effect even for those students who have previously earned an advanced degree. Credit from a previous degree may not be used for the degree in process; however, any public affairs colloquium requirement is waived for those who have previously completed it at the graduate level. Doctorates All program and campus requirements for the doctoral degree are in effect even for students who have previously earned an advanced degree. Credit from a previous degree may not be used for the degree in process.
Transcripts The Office of Records and Registration will issue official transcripts of a student's academic record at UIS only on written request and only to students who are in good financial standing with UIS. A $5 fee (subject to change) for each transcript is charged at the time the request is made. Please check the website at http://www.uis.edu/registration/records/transcriptrequest.html for additional information about requesting and paying for transcripts.
Tutorials Taken at either the undergraduate or graduate level, tutorials are intended to supplement, not supplant, regular course offerings. Students interested in a tutorial must secure the consent of the faculty member concerned before registration and submit a tutorial proposal form to him or her.
Academic Load One of the requirements to qualify for financial assistance is to be enrolled for at least six credit hours each semester. For additional information regarding what qualifies as full-time status for financial aid purposes at UIS, see the relevant section below.
Undergraduate and Master's Degree Students Full-time students are enrolled for 12 or more semester hours during the fall or spring semesters or six semester hours in the summer term. Those enrolled for fewer hours are considered part-time students.
Most courses at UIS earn three or four semester hours of credit. A full-time undergraduate or graduate student is considered to be one taking 12 or more semester hours.
To enroll for more than 18 semester hours during the fall or spring semesters or more than eight semester hours during the summer term, a petition requesting overload must be submitted to the Office of Records and Registration.
Note: A graduate assistant's normal load is 16 to 24 hours for an academic year, eight to 12 hours per semester. Graduate assistants who wish to enroll for more than 24 hours in any academic year must have the approval of the adviser, a program representative, and the appropriate dean. The graduate assistantship tuition waiver covers a maximum of 30 hours per academic year (fall, spring, and summer).
A graduate public service intern's normal load is 18 hours for the academic year, nine hours per semester. Graduate public service interns are also required to register for four semester hours in the summer term.
Doctoral Students For purposes of tuition and fees, a doctoral student enrolled for 12 or more semester hours of course work during the fall or spring semesters or six semester hours in the summer term is considered full-time. Students enrolled for fewer hours are considered part-time.
Doctoral students who wish to enroll for more than 12 semester hours during the fall or spring semesters or more than eight semester hours during the summer term must submit a student petition form to the DPA office.
Note: A doctoral research assistant's normal load is 16 to 24 hours for an academic year, usually eight to 12 hours per semester. Doctoral research assistants who wish to enroll for more than 24 hours in any academic year must have the approval of the adviser, the chair of the Public Administration Program, and the appropriate dean. The doctoral research assistant tuition waiver covers a maximum of 30 hours per academic year (fall, spring, and summer).
Academic Probation and Suspension Students who have a UIS cumulative grade-point average of less than 2.00 (undergraduates) or 3.00 (master's and doctoral students) will be placed on academic probation. Courses taken for credit/no credit do not count in calculating this average.
Students who accumulate 12 hours or more of incompletes are also subject to probation. Undergraduate and master's degree candidates on academic probation may enroll for up to 12 credit hours in the subsequent fall or spring (six hours in the summer) with approval of the academic adviser; doctoral students are limited to eight hours in the fall or spring and four hours in the summer. Non-degree-seeking students on probation must meet with a designated adviser in the Office of Records and Registration and may also be required to meet with a representative of the academic program in which they are taking classes.
Students placed on academic probation for two successive terms will be suspended and must wait two terms before petitioning for re-admission. Students in exceptional circumstances may appeal immediately.
Complete details on UIS' academic probation policy are available from faculty advisers or the registrar.
Grade-point Average The grade-point average is determined by multiplying grade-point equivalents by the number of semester hours earned in a course, then dividing the total number of grade-points in courses completed at UIS by the total number of hours represented by those courses (excluding courses with grades of CR, NC, W, I, DFR, R, or AU).
Grade-point equivalents are: A (4.00) A- (3.70) B+ (3.30) B (3.00) B- (2.70) C+ (2.30) C (2.00) C- (1.70) D+ (1.30) D (1.00) D- (0.70) F (0.00)
Grades/Grading Grades are released only to students in good financial standing with UIS. They are assigned according to the following scale. A: Excellent B: Good C: Fair D: Marginal, but passing F: Unsatisfactory or unofficial withdrawal. Courses in which F grades are earned count in determining grade-point average but do not apply toward graduation. CR: Credit, represents a grade of C or better for undergraduates or B or better for graduate students. NC: No Credit, assigned to undergraduate students who earn grades below C or graduate students who earn grades below B under the credit/no credit option. W: Authorized Withdrawal, appears on the transcript for the course(s) from which the student officially withdraws. I: Incomplete, after a period not to exceed one year, the provisional grade becomes permanent unless a grade change was submitted. DFR: Deferred, used only for courses of a continuing nature, such as graduate research. Continues to appear until the course work has been completed and a grade assigned. Re-registration is not necessary, except for graduate closure courses. Courses for which a DFR grade may be awarded will be designated in advance. AU: Audit, no grade or credit earned. The deadlines for changing enrollment from credit to audit are posted each term. Students who enroll as full-time must include any course they wish to audit as part of the maximum permitted load. For auditing students who do not attend class regularly, the course may not appear on the transcript. Credit for an audited course cannot be established under any circumstances. If enrollment in a course is limited, for-credit students are admitted before audits are allowed. Full tuition and fees are assessed for audited courses. R: Indicates the course has been repeated. The original grade does not count in determining the grade-point average. NR: Indicates a grade was not reported to the Office of Records and Registration by the course instructor.
Grades Acceptable toward Graduate Degrees Master's degree students may apply a maximum of eight hours of C grades toward a degree, provided that each hour of C is balanced by an hour of A. Individual academic programs, however, may determine whether Cs are acceptable toward their degrees. Doctoral students are expected to do scholarly work of high caliber. The DPA requires at least 54 doctoral level hours of course credit with a grade-point average of at least 3.00 and a grade no lower than B in any core, research, or concentration doctoral course. Students must earn a grade of B or better in any course considered for transfer.
Prerequisite courses do not count toward the 54 required doctoral hours. Credit/no credit will be allowed for prerequisite courses only. All DPA core, research, or specialization courses must be taken for letter grades.
Grading Option: Credit/No Credit Students who select the credit/no credit option must officially register their intent with the Office of Records and Registration before the course is three-fourths completed. No changes are accepted after the designated date. Limits on the number of hours earned under the credit/no credit option may be established by individual programs.
Credit is awarded under this option to undergraduate work that represents a grade of C or better or to graduate work that represents a grade of B or better. For lesser work, a grade of NC is recorded on the transcript. Courses taken for credit/no credit are not included in calculating the grade-point average.
Graduation Grade-point average Undergraduate students must have a UIS cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.00 to receive a bachelor's degree. Master's students must achieve a UIS cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.00 to receive a master's degree. Doctoral students must earn a B or better in each core doctoral, required research, and concentration class.
Incomplete Work Students may request an "incomplete" under extraordinary circumstances and they are granted at the instructor's discretion. When an I is granted, the instructor must also submit a provisional grade, reflecting the one that will be assigned if course requirements are not completed within 12 months. Students who accumulate 12 or more hours of incomplete work will be placed on academic probation.
Plagiarism Plagiarism usually takes one of the following three forms and is done without proper acknowledgment: including another person's writing in one's own essay, paraphrasing another person's work, or presenting another person's original theories, views, etc.
When an allegation of plagiarism arises, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated within the academic program in which the alleged offense occurred. The instructor may refuse to grade the assignment and record it as no credit. Penalties may include failure in the course as well as recommendation for disciplinary probation, suspension, or dismissal from the class, program, or UIS.
Repeating Courses Undergraduate Students Some academic programs may have restrictions on the number of times a particular course may be repeated. When a student repeats a course in which a grade was earned, the second grade will appear on the grade report and transcript; the first grade will be deleted and will not count in determining a grade-point average. Subsequent repeats will appear on the transcript and will be used in calculating the GPA. Master's Students may repeat graduate course work once (excluding master's project or thesis credit) without penalty unless the academic program does not permit course repeats. The grade and hours earned when the course is repeated will appear on the transcript. The first grade entry will be deleted from the transcript and will not count in determining grade-point average. Subsequent repeats can only be recorded as audits, which bear no hours or grade points. Doctoral Students may repeat doctoral course work once (excluding dissertation credit) without penalty. The grade and hours earned when the course is repeated will appear on the transcript. The first grade entry will be deleted from the transcript and will not count in determining the grade-point average. Subsequent repeats are not permitted.
The dates and times of registration are posted each semester and summer term on the web course schedule at www.uis.edu/registration. This website also contains information regarding current courses and up-to-date information on registration procedures, tuition and fees, and relevant deadlines.
U of I Residency Status for Admission and Assessment of Tuition General The University of Illinois is a landgrant institution assisted by funding from Illinois tax revenue. As a state tax-assisted institution, the University of Illinois (with some exceptions) extends preference in admission and tuition to residents of the state of Illinois -- that is, to students whose circumstances conform to the university definition of resident status outlined below.
The University of Illinois' definition of the term "resident" may be different from the definitions developed by other, non-university agencies. Thus, a person who is an Illinois resident for tax or voting purposes, for example, is not necessarily a resident for University of Illinois tuition and admission purposes. The university's definition of resident status applies both to payment of tuition and admission to the University of Illinois.
Principal elements that determine residency are domicile in Illinois and actions that evidence the intent to make Illinois the person's permanent residence for a period of 12 months prior to the first day of class. A person has but one domicile at any time. Mere physical presence in Illinois, regardless of how prolonged, is insufficient to establish residency without the existence of action and intent to make the place a permanent residence and principal home. In order to establish bona fide residency under this policy, a person must be independent and demonstrate presence and intent to reside permanently in Illinois for reasons other than educational objectives.
The burden of establishing that a student is domiciled in Illinois for other than educational purposes is on the student. The regulations, factors, and procedures enumerated in this policy will be considered by the university in determining the residency status of students.
Procedures The Director of Admissions, or a designee, shall determine the initial residence classification of each student at the time the student enters or reenters the university.
A student who is not satisfied with the determination concerning his/her residence classification may request that the responsible official reconsider the determination. For the purposes of admission, the written request must be received by the Office of Admissions within 20 calendar days from the date of notification of residency status. For the purposes of assessment of tuition, the written request must be received by the Office of Admissions within 20 days of the date of assessment of tuition or the first scheduled day of classes for the term for which the tuition is payable, whichever is later.
The request should include the Petition for Determination of Residency Status and all other materials applicable to the claim. The request and accompanying documentation will not be returned, and the student is advised to maintain a copy for his/her records.
If the student is still not satisfied with the determination after it has been reconsidered, he or she may appeal the decision to the director, University Office for Academic Policy Analysis. The appeal shall be in writing and shall include reasons for the appeal. The appeal must be received by the Director of Admissions within 20 days of the notice of the ruling. It will then be referred to the director, University Office for Academic Policy Analysis. A student who fails to file an appeal within 20 days of the notice of the ruling waives all claims to reconsideration for that academic session. Filing deadlines cannot be extended or waived and applications and appeals not filed in a timely manner will not be reviewed. The decision of the director, University Office for Academic Policy Analysis, shall be final in all cases.
For detailed information on regulations and statutes used to determine residency, contact the Office of Admissions.
Refunds/Change in Amount of Tuition and Fees All withdrawals from courses must be made officially according to procedures outlined in the current course schedule. Non‑attendance or non‑payment does NOT constitute an official withdrawal. Students are financially responsible for all courses not officially dropped according to the policy and deadlines indicated. Specific deadlines will be published each term in the course schedule.
Withdrawals Students may terminate registration in a course by officially withdrawing and meeting the deadlines outlined in the web course schedule at www.uis.edu/registration.
The same deadlines apply to changes in grading options: from letter grade to credit/no credit and vice versa, as well as changes to audit.
No withdrawals will be processed after the published deadlines. When the withdrawal occurs after the second week of a full semester course, a W appears on the transcript for the course(s) from which the student withdrew. No notation appears on the transcript when the withdrawal occurs during the first two weeks of a full‑semester course or first week of an eight‑week course. Students who fail to withdraw officially from a course will be assigned an F grade.
See the current course schedule (available online at www.uis.edu/registration) for more specific information about withdrawals. Please note that withdrawing from some or all courses may have academic and/or financial implications.
Auditing Courses Students who audit courses are required to pay full tuition and fees. Courses audited successfully appear on the transcript with the grade of AU. Credit for audited courses may not be established under any circumstances.
A change from credit to audit may be made through the last day for authorized withdrawal. Fulltime students must include audit courses as part of the maximum load requirement.
The instructor may determine that the audited course should not be placed on a student's transcript if he or she does not attend class regularly. When enrollment in a course is limited, students enrolling for credit are admitted before audits are allowed.

Welcome to the Marsh Institute
The George Perkins Marsh Institute (GPMI) at Clark University is dedicated to research on one of the most fundamental questions confronting humankind:
What is and ought to be our relationship with nature?
Grounded in nearly a century of basic and applied research at Clark University, the George Perkins Marsh Institute (GPMI) provides national and international leadership in human dimensions of environmental change and coupled natural and human systems. The Institute is home to approximately sixty-five research faculty, staff, and graduate students, and currently maintains over $7 million in active grants and contracts. Although the historical work of the Institute emphasized human-induced changes in the biosphere, recent research has taken a broader perspective to include interactions among social, natural, institutional and technological systems. Among other facilities, offices and centers, the Institute includes the Jeanne X. Kasperson Research Library, whose holdings complete one of the most extensive research collections in North America on risks, hazards and global environmental change. The Institute also houses the offices of the multi-institutional Institute for Energy and Sustainability (IES).
The Marsh Institute seeks solutions to problems facing contemporary society. This requires the coordination of social and natural science with active partnerships both in and outside of the University. Institute activities provide the knowledge necessary for innovative solutions to challenges such as climate change, sustainability, and human health. The Institute does not grant degrees, but advanced degrees can be sought through the affiliated programs and departments of Clark University. The Institute maintains strong ties with Clark University's School of Geography, Department of International Development, Community and Environment (IDCE), Department of Economics, many others. We also have close partnerships with The Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise and Clark Labs for Cartographic Technologies and Geographic Analysis. The Marsh Institute is also playing an important role in the Liberal Education and Effective Practice (LEEP) initiative at Clark, providing expertise as well as opportunities for student research and integration with our many active communities of effective practice.
Support for the Institute comes from the University, private donations, foundations, and grants from state and federal agencies. Major grants to Institute researchers support research in such wide-ranging topics as the ecological homogenization of urban America, climate change impacts in the Arctic; the role of forests in preventing global warming; the provision and value of ecosystem services; natural resource extraction and human development; suburbanization and water use; and paradigms in health risk testing. The Institute is home to initiatives that provide students with unique hands-on research experiences, including the Polaris Project in the Siberian Arctic, the Human-Environment Regional Observatory-Central Massachusetts (HERO-CM) research program, and the Albert, Norma and Howard '77 Geller Research Grants for student projects related to sustainability. The Institute also coordinates workshops, conferences and seminars that bring together scientists, students, stakeholders and policymakers to address contemporary challenges in human - environment interactions. Among events sponsored during 2011, the Marsh Institute hosted a visit to Clark University by Dr. Jane Lubchenco, the NOAA Administrator and Undersecretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere.
In past years, the Marsh Institute played a leading role in developing the Core Project on Global Land-Use/Cover Change (LUCC) for the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme and the International Human Dimensions Programme, and assisted the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in developing the analytical capacities to address environmental changes in general. Books resulting from Marsh Institute activities include The Earth as Transformed by Human Action (1990), Regions at Risk: Comparisons of Threatened Environments (1995), and more recently Economic Analysis for Ecosystem-Based Management: Applications to Marine and Coastal Environments (2010).
This website provides links and information regarding the many programs and initiatives supported by the Institute, as well as announcements of seminars and other events. We welcome any input or comments; please contact the Institute Director, Robert J. Johnston.

Quick or more personal—you choose how to search.
In trying to envision a home's suitability for her and her household, women told us they essentially use four aspects or "lenses" when evaluating a home: Entertaining; De-stressing; Storing and Flexible Living. In color-coding our floor plans accordingly, Livability At A Glance makes it easier to visualize how the home lives.
The four Livability lenses also are a better way to search for the perfect home plan. Sure, searching by overall size and number of bedrooms is important—it reduces the number of plans to look at. But Livability Search is different, allowing you to search for home plans based on how you want the home to live. By rating how important each of those four Livability lenses are to you, you'll likely find specific plans that interest you more quickly and maybe discover something about your preferences in the process!
