The newest member of the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority board faces questions over whether her Bellevue home disqualifies her to serve with the group, which runs Omaha's marquee arena and baseball stadium.
Jamie Gutierrez Mora, owner and president of Midwest Maintenance Co., was appointed by the Omaha City Council in March.
While her appointment was being considered, Gutierrez Mora told city officials she lived in South Omaha. But public records indicate that she actually lives in Bellevue.
Gutierrez Mora has declined repeated requests by The World-�Herald in recent days to say whether she lives in Douglas County or Sarpy County.
In response to questions from the newspaper, attorneys for the City of Omaha and MECA said her eligibility to serve on the board is worth examination.
City Attorney Paul Kratz said Friday that the city will launch an investigation into where she lives. "It is now appropriate for the Law Department to look into the matter," Kratz said.
Said Robert Freeman, MECA's attorney, "I will certainly have further conversation with the MECA board chair. And we will look at those issues and determine whether there's anything else that MECA should do."
Gutierrez Mora's company has provided custodial services for the CenturyLink Center since the facility opened in 2003.
She has been involved with several local community and philanthropic groups, including the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, United Way of the Midlands and the Women's Fund of Omaha.
City Council members said Gutierrez Mora, 47, seemed to be a good fit for the board.
"She's a very strong candidate and a very strong board member because of her business background," said Council President Pete Festersen, who co-sponsored her nomination. "Because she's a Hispanic woman, that brings diversity to the board, and she's very involved in the community."
Festersen, who said he hasn't met Gutierrez Mora, said she had support from the Greater Omaha Chamber, business and labor union leaders.
Gutierrez Mora said she was approached late last year about serving on the MECA board. She said someone was recruiting her to the board but declined to identify that person.
Election records show that Gutierrez Mora was registered to vote in Sarpy County until Dec. 28, when she switched to Douglas County.
Less than two weeks later, the Greater Omaha Chamber's CEO sent an email to Omaha City Council members backing Gutierrez Mora's nomination.
When she was approached, she said, she asked several questions, including some related to the requirements to serve on the board and the potential for business conflicts of interest.
"I brought it up," she said. "There was someone who was recruiting me to the board, asking if I'd want to serve. We talked about everything. I said: 'What are the requirements? My business is in Douglas County, my ministry work is in Douglas County, I'm registered to vote in Douglas County.'"
MECA board members are required to be "resident electors" of Douglas County, according to its development agreement for the CenturyLink Center. City code says board members must be "qualified electors of the County of Douglas."
Freeman said registering to vote is "one important factor" in determining whether someone is a resident elector. But he said it also has a broader definition that "requires an analysis of a whole host of appropriate factors that apply to an individual."
Gutierrez Mora grew up in Omaha and runs her business in the city. She moved to Sarpy County several years ago but also owns properties in Douglas County and out of state.
She owns a home in Belle�vue with a tax value of roughly $600,000.
That's the home address listed on state records for her business and on court records related to a minor traffic infraction in March. A sign atop the Bellevue mailbox says: "The Mora's."
But it is not the address listed on the r�sum� Gutierrez Mora gave the council upon her appointment.
The r�sum� lists a multi-unit South Omaha house — worth about one-fifth of the Belle�vue house and listed under her husband's name — as her home.
She said her decision to change her voter registration was not suggested by anyone involved with her MECA nomination or prompted by it.
"When I moved to Sarpy County, my kids were little," she said. "I was being pulled to get into politics, City Council, different political positions. I wanted to focus on my children when they were young. Now my kids are older, and it's important to have voting rights in Douglas County. That's why I eventually changed it."
Gutierrez Mora has not voted in Douglas County, according to county election records.
Voters who have previously registered in Nebraska can register in a different county without having to provide proof of address, said Valerie Stoj, spokeswoman for the Douglas County Election Commission.
But applicants must sign an oath that "I live in the State of Nebraska at the address provided in this application." The oath says applicants who knowingly provide false information are guilty of election falsification, a felony.
MECA board President John Lund said last week he was not a part of any discussions about Gutierrez Mora's residency before her appointment. Board members Willy Theisen and Jim Vokal declined to comment.
Dana Bradford, the fifth board member, said he did know of some questions about Gutierrez Mora's residency and voter registration.
Bradford said he believed that Gutierrez Mora was in the process of registering to vote in Douglas County or had already registered during the appointment process.
He said some people involved in the decision raised questions about an out-of-state home Gutierrez Mora owns, recalling a similar dispute over former board member David Sokol's residency.
In 2008, then-Mayor Mike Fahey tried to oust Sokol after the corporate leader canceled his Nebraska voter registration and listed a Wyoming address as his residence.
Kratz and his staff concluded that Sokol no longer met the board's "resident elector" requirement, and Fahey removed Sokol. At the time, Freeman argued on MECA's behalf that resident elector does not mean the same as registered voter.
Fahey relented and reappointed Sokol to the board.
Former Council President Tom Mulligan interviewed Gutierrez Mora before her appointment. He recalled that questions came up about her residency, and the two discussed where she lived.
Mulligan said the council eventually confirmed that Gutierrez Mora was a registered Douglas County voter and that she had provided a r�sum� with a Douglas County address.
"At the end of the day, I was comfortable that she had fulfilled the requirement you've got to live in Douglas County."

Full review
The Evo 3D is HTC's first glasses-free 3D smart phone, packing a powerful dual-core processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It's available for free on a £35-per-month contract, while an unlocked, SIM-free version costs around £500.
Should I buy the HTC Evo 3D?
If you're looking for a phone with that little extra something to make it stand out from the increasingly generic smart-phone crowd, the Evo 3D could well be what you're after. Its 4.3-inch, 3D-capable screen doesn't require you to wear an awkward pair of glasses to appreciate the effect, and, if you dig the idea of snapping images, shooting movies and playing games in three dimensions, the Evo 3D will have you very excited indeed.
But the jury's still out on whether or not glasses-free 3D is going to take off. It's certainly a bonus, but it comes with drawbacks as well. Firstly, incorporating the auto-stereoscopic display and twin-camera set-up required to take 3D images has forced HTC to boost the phone's thickness to 12.1mm -- a far cry away from the ludicrously thin, 8.5mm frame of the Samsung Galaxy S2.
Secondly, the battery life of the device nosedives whenever the 3D effect is enabled. If you spend an hour or so playing a 3D game, you'll notice a catastrophic dip in juice. During our review, we witnessed a fully charged battery go from 100 per cent to 50 per cent after about two hours of 3D-related activities. Even when the phone isn't being used, its ravenous appetite for power is astonishing.
But, despite its troubles, there's no denying that the Evo 3D is a formidable smart phone. It boasts a 1.2GHz, dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and comes pre-loaded with the most up-to-date phone edition of Android Gingerbread, version 2.3.4.
If you're in the market for a new Android phone, the Evo 3D is definitely worth a look. Although the 3D technology has its limitations, it's a selling point that many other high-end devices lack. But, unless you're absolutely barmy about 3D, we wouldn't recommend ditching your existing dual-core device purely to get your hands on the Evo 3D's three-dimensional display.
HTC Evo 3D vs LG Optimus 3D
The Evo 3D is basically an HTC Sensation with a few upgrades -- a 3D screen and more RAM -- and a few considerable downgrades -- lower-resolution cameras, a heavier and bulkier frame, and poor battery life. But its biggest rival is definitely the LG Optimus 3D, which is currently the only other smart phone in the UK that offers the same glasses-free 3D technology.
We found that LG's phone offered the better 3D experience, and it also allows you to switch off the 3D effect to conserve battery life -- something that the Evo 3D doesn't allow. However, the Optimus 3D is currently stuck on Android 2.2, whereas HTC's handset runs the very latest edition of Android.
The Evo 3D runs HTC's Sense 3.0 user interface, which sits on top of Google's Android 2.3 operating system.
HTC's Sense UI remains one of the most polished and intuitive Android skins on the market, although it has to be said that many of its most innovative features are now either available in the core Android software or have been imitated by other companies. For example, the once breathtaking ability to mute your device's ringer simply by turning it over is no longer exclusive to Sense-powered Android handsets.
The Evo 3D essentially runs the same software as its non-3D counterpart, the HTC Sensation, offering the same improved home-screen animations, access to quick settings in the pull-down notification bar and a powerful task manager.
The Evo 3D also benefits from Sense 3.0's flashy new lock screen. To unlock the phone, you drag a ring from the bottom of the screen into the middle. The biggest benefit is the ability to instantly access applications using four shortcuts. You can do this by dragging the shortcut icon down towards the ring.
HTC apps
HTC's Sense UI offers a range of exclusive applications and widgets. New to Sense 3.0 is the HTC Watch app, which allows you to purchase, download and view movies and television shows on your phone. It should be noted, though, that, at present, there are no films which take advantage of the phone's 3D screen. There's also HTC Locations, which attempts to go toe-to-toe with Google's Maps app.
The first thing you'll notice when picking up the Evo 3D is the sheer weight of the device. At 170g, it's something of a mobile monster, and one of the heaviest handsets we've cradled since the gargantuan Dell Venue Pro.
Aside from the bronze accent running around the dual cameras on the back of the phone, the Evo 3D is one imposingly black slab of tech. The absence of colour makes it look like the monolith from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, but that's not to say it's ugly -- it merely lacks the refinement of the iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy S2.
The back of the Evo 3D is made of plastic, with a rubberised covering, which means it's less likely to slip from your grasp during use -- a welcome feature, because you'd probably break a toe if you accidentally dropped this weighty blower. The ultra-grippy texture is complemented by a series of diagonal grooves.
The front of the phone lacks physical buttons, instead opting for a touch-sensitive array. The traditional four Android buttons are present, but, as seems to be the case with practically every phone, the order has been jumbled, as per HTC's own preference.
Moving from one Android phone to another can be a frustrating experience, as each manufacturer seems to have its own preferred button layout, but at least the Evo 3D doesn't do away with the search command, as many phones in Samsung's Galaxy range do.
On the side of the Evo 3D, you'll notice a large metallic button for controlling the camera shutter. This is a two-stage button that allows you to lightly press for focus, and then fully press to capture a shot. Next to this is the switch that toggles the camera between its 2D and 3D capture modes.
3D screen
The Evo 3D's biggest selling point is unquestionably its auto-stereoscopic 3D display. It uses unique technology that allows it to effectively project two different images into each eye, thus creating the impression of three-dimensional depth. We've already seen this trick in action on the Nintendo 3DS console and LG's Optimus 3D, and it's very impressive. Not having to don a pair of laughable 3D spectacles is a real godsend.
But there are some caveats. Firstly, the 3D effect is only triggered by certain activities. You can view 3D movies and still images, play 3D-compatible games, and shoot 3D photos and video. But none of the phone's menus are displayed in 3D.
Also, because the illusion of 3D is dependent on achieving the perfect viewing angle, it's very easy to make the effect 'break' by tilting the phone during use. This issue affects all screens of this type, and isn't exclusive to the Evo 3D. It means you'll need a steady grip when using the device -- something that could prove to be a problem with games that use the phone's accelerometer.
It's worth mentioning too that, when the 3D mode is triggered, the resolution of the phone is reduced in order to accommodate what are effectively two screens displaying a slightly different view. This means that images and footage viewed in 3D won't be shown at the 540x960-pixel resolution that the Evo 3D's LCD screen is capable of.
Pixel density on the Evo 3D stands at 256 pixels per inch, which tops the 217ppi found on the Galaxy S2.
Cameras and movie capture
To facilitate its fancy 3D image- and video-recording power, the Evo 3D has not one but two snappers on its rear. This is because the auto-stereoscopic screen functions by displaying two images simultaneously.
Both of the rear cameras have a 5-megapixel resolution, and are supported by a particularly strong dual-LED flash. It's possible to toggle the phone between 2D and 3D capture by sliding the switch next to the dedicated camera button on the side of the handset. 3D photos are limited to a 2-megapixel resolution.
Like so many mobile snappers, the image quality isn't fantastic. Shots tend to appear slightly washed-out, and the LED flash is harsh when you're in a particularly dim environment. You probably won't use the Evo 3D as a replacement for your traditional point-and-shoot camera, but it's perfectly acceptable for quick, convenient and impromptu snaps.
The Evo 3D can capture video footage at up to a 720p resolution, in both 2D and 3D. Naturally, footage only appears in three dimensions when viewed either on the phone itself or another compatible auto-stereoscopic device. The same goes for still photos.
One final thing about the twin cameras -- they bulge out of the back of the phone, which means that, when you set the Evo 3D down on a horizontal surface, it doesn't lay completely flat, but rocks ever so slightly. It's a minor quibble, but one that's worth mentioning.
Thanks to its powerful dual-core processor and ultra-responsive capacitive touchscreen, the Evo 3D is perfectly equipped to play the latest and greatest games the Android Market has to offer.
The usual suspects, like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and They Need to be Fed, all function perfectly, and they look great on the massive, 4.3-inch display. Pinch-to-zoom support is a given, too.
When it comes to 3D games, though, Gameloft is the only developer really committed to supporting the tech so far. It has retooled several of its bestsellers to take advantage of the Evo 3D's screen.
3D gaming on the Evo 3D is possibly the most reliable test of the display, as it's directly comparable with that of Nintendo's 3DS console. Alas, HTC's device comes out second-best. We're not sure if it's down to the fact that Gameloft has merely re-programmed existing games, rather than build a title around the 3D screen, but the effect is curiously muted.
Games like N.O.V.A. and GT Racing: Motor Academy play well enough, but the depth of the 3D effect isn't as striking as it is on Nintendo's console. Another drawback is that the games are forced to run at a low resolution, because the phone is effectively showing two pictures at once, and that means they look noticeably rougher than on rival handsets playing 2D versions of the same titles. Even the Samsung Galaxy S2, which has a lower screen resolution than the Evo 3D, offers sharper, cleaner graphics when playing the non-3D edition of a game.
Like the Sensation, the Evo 3D is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon processor running at 1.2GHz. This also puts it on par with other cutting-edge Android handsets, such as the Galaxy S2 and LG Optimus 2X. This raw power ensures that almost every activity is silky-smooth and lag-free, and the addition of 1GB of RAM makes things even speedier.
Application storage is reasonably generous too, with 1GB reserved for the installation of apps and games. By using Android's ability to store some app data on the SD card, you can make this memory go much further than you think.
The Evo 3D supports 3G HSDPA data transfer for quick online access on the move. It also boasts 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi for those moments when you're near an open wireless hotspot.
Like all recent Android phones, the Evo 3D can be used as your own personal Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing you to connect Wi-Fi-only devices like the iPod touch and get them online using your phone's 3G network connection. In addition to this, Bluetooth 3.0 is supported. You can also display content from your phone on your TV screen, providing it offers DLNA connectivity.
The Evo 3D has a microSD slot which can accept cards of up to 32GB in size. An 8GB variant was included with the model we reviewed.
Battery life
The Evo 3D packs one of the largest-capacity batteries we've seen, but even this 1,730mAh behemoth can't keep the voracious device contented for more than 24 hours.
If you avoid using the 3D features of the phone, you can expect to get just under a day without a recharge, but viewing and taking 3D photos, watching 3D videos or playing 3D games are all activities that drain the Evo 3D's power cell at a frightening rate.
Again, this is down to the auto-stereoscopic tech used in the screen, and Nintendo 3DS owners have experienced similar issues with battery stamina. The key difference is that it's possible to switch the 3D effect off on Nintendo's handheld, whereas all 3D content is displayed in 3D on HTC's phone, regardless of whether or not you want it to be.
Even when the phone is idle, it seems to consume battery power at a much keener rate than rival Android devices.
The HTC Evo 3D is most definitely in possession of a neat party trick, but it's not enough to make the phone a must-buy. Still, if you're about to upgrade and you don't mind putting up with poor battery life to get glitzy 3D, then it's worth a look.

Labyrinth's Family for All Occasions, Directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Begins Off-Broadway Run April 25
By Andrew Gans
Labyrinth Theater Company's production of Bob Glaudini's A Family for All Occasions, which is directed by former Labyrinth co-artistic director Philip Seymour Hoffman, begins performances April 25 Off-Broadway. Opening night is May 12 at the Bank Street Theater. The cast comprises Jeffrey DeMunn (The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, "The Walking Dead"), William Jackson Harper (Modern Terrorism, Ruined), Justine Lupe (Not Fade Away, "Harry's Law"), Labyrinth Company member Deirdre O'Connell (Thinner Than Water, Circle Mirror Transformation) and Charlie Saxton (Movie 43, "Hung"). "Howard could use some decent conversation," according to press notes. "At the outset of his retirement, when he'd rather be enjoying the simple things in life, he's stuck dealing with his disconcerting, promiscuous daughter, his computer-obsessed, reclusive son, and his vastly overtired second wife. It's only when his daughter's latest suitor drops by after a hazy night that a family on edge is delivered to its inevitable, unforeseen fate." The production also features scenic design by David Meyer, costume design by Gali Noy, lighting design by Japhy Weideman and sound design by Jill B.C. DuBoff. The Bank Street Theater is located at 155 Bank St. Tickets start at $35. Visit labtheater.org or call (212) 513-1080. |

Washington • Rep. Jim Matheson spent just about every dollar at his disposal to fend off Republican Mia Love in the most expensive House race in Utah history.
Combined, the candidates dropped more than $4.5 million on the contest that Matheson won by just 768 votes. That tally doesn't include more than $6 million spent by outside groups and the resources the state political parties shifted to Utah's 4th Congressional District.

The updated figures released late Thursday show Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, kept up a torrid fundraising pace in the final weeks of the election, far exceeding what Matheson, a six-term incumbent, collected from supporters in that period.
Love raised $452,000 from Oct. 18 through Nov. 26, with more than $177,000 coming from small donors, according to the reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.
In that same period, Matheson raised $175,600.
Election Day was Nov. 6 and almost all contributions for both candidates came before voters headed to the polls.
The Matheson-Love race drew national attention and therefore big money, which resulted in a barrage of TV ads unlike anything the state had seen before. At its peak, political ads focused on the 4th District appeared multiple times during each commercial break.
Matheson, a strong fundraiser by Utah standards, amassed more than $2.37 million, more than he has ever raised before. And he used it all and then dipped into the little money he had left over from his 2010 campaign.
He has just $42,600 remaining in his campaign account.
Love, who would have been the first black GOP woman elected to Congress, almost closed the fundraising gap with Matheson. She raised $2.29 million and ended the contest with about $108,000 in unspent contributions.

(Branched this thread from Can't open CS5.5 in CS6)
I have the same problem. I've been working with CS5.5 for 1 year. Know, I've upgrade to CS6 and I can't open my CS5.5 files.
This files are mine (not of a partner), I've made it so I can't understand whats wrong. I can open some CS5.5 files.
I think it's an Adobe problem.
I'm gonna try to see what kind of fonts have my documents.
If I try to uninstall and use the CS Cleaner tool?
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation -problems.html
I've a crash report: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/81475310/Report.wer
It's very difficult to get useful error reports under Windows.
Your report seems to suggest something to do with hyperlinks:
Sig[3].Name=Nombre del módulo con errores
But it is hard to say.
If I try to uninstall and use the CS Cleaner tool?
Go ahead. It will not hurt. I do not know if it will help. But it will do no harm.
Can you export your CS5.5 file to IDML in CS5, and then open the IDML in CS6?
Can you try to narrow the problem? You can try working on a copy of the file in CS5.5 and deleting/removing parts until you can determine what causes the crash in CS6. You mention hyperlinks and cross-references, so they may be a place to start.
Can you share a file with us?
Working with books is more complex than working with a stand-alone file, and if you have cross-file links that makes things even more problematic. Inter-document cross-references have been described as "fragile" to put things politely, and most experienced users these days seem to advise against using them.
I've not tried to update a Book from one version to another for several years, if at all (memory on that is a bit vague), but if I were going to do so now I would absolutely export each of the component files to .idml or .inx, depending on the original version, then I would open those in the new version, save with new names, and build a new Book. This will, unfortunately break any inter-doc cross-references so there would be quite a bit of work involved in rebuilding, any you'd need to carefully way that against any reason for not simply continuing to work in the original version.
Have you tried trashing your prefs? See Replace Your Preferences
I was having the same problem, but I think I've figured it out. It looks like the cross-doc cross-refs are getting confused when the files are opened and it tries to update all the cross-refs, maybe because ID is adding [converted] to the filenames? Crash after crash after crash. Anyway, I opened the book, *not* the constituent files. In the book menu, I set the "Automatic Document Conversion," then updated the page numbering. That opens, converts, and saves all the constituent files as CS6 without trying to double-check the cross-refs. Now they seem to open on their own just fine.
I totally agree that cross-doc cross-refs are fragile. I have dozens in this book, and it is really slow unless all the docs are open because it insists on continually double-checking them.

Meals On Wheels of Asheville and Buncombe County currently delivers hot, nutritious meals to over 500 elderly, homebound people 5 days a week. With the holidays fast approaching, it's time to begin collecting wrapped shoe boxes for the "Santa For Seniors" project. Similar to Operation Christmas Child that collects shoeboxes filled with gifts for children, the Santa For Seniors project collects filled shoeboxes to distribute to Buncombe County's homebound elderly. This annual project provides a combination of individual gift bags and wrapped gift boxes to over 500 Meals On Wheels clients during the holiday season.
"It's a magical holiday experience to witness the response of our seniors. They spend most of their days alone and are both surprised and grateful to know that someone remembered them during the holidays. They're like kids! For many of our clients who have lost family and friends over the years, it's the only gift they'll receive during the holidays!" says Terri Bowman, Development Director for Meals On Wheels. "Response has been somewhat slow, but we're hoping things will pick up as people get in the holiday spirit!" Bowman urges people interested in helping to visit the agency's website, www.mowabc.org for more information and gift suggestions.
Meals On Wheels is currently collecting shoeboxes (wrapped but not sealed and marked for a Male or Female) filled with gifts for the elderly. Their goal is 525 boxes. Items can be dropped off at the Meals On Wheels offices on 146 Victoria Road in Asheville until December 15, 2011. The agency also needs volunteers willing to deliver gifts.
Meals On Wheels of Asheville and Buncombe County provides hot, nutritious meals to the elderly homebound, thus allowing them to live in their own homes, among familiar surroundings and maintain their dignity while aging. They currently serve over 500 seniors each day. Anyone wanting additional information about the Santa For Seniors project or supporting Meals On Wheels in other ways, can call Terri Bowman or MaRita Alexander at (828)253-5286 or visit www.mowabc.org.

Wife breaks into own house
A busybody neighbor glanced outside and saw the soon-to-be ex-wife of his neighbor moving items out of the house. He called the husband and told him his wife and son were taking things out of the house. The husband, who was at work, called police because he couldn't leave his job.
He told the officer they are still legally married and own the home together. He said he just wanted the officer to make sure the woman did not steal his art or TV.
The officer arrived at the home and spoke to the wife. She told him she unlocked the front door through a broken window that she caused the week prior. She said she and her son were moving property that she owned before the marriage and that she is not interested in his ugly art.

'Connect-A-Desk' is a workaholic's dream
And here we thought the "Hip Office" concept was a joke. Now we have the "Connect-A-Desk," a real product that's also ripe for an SNL parody.
Like the Hip Office, it straps to a computer to your body, but around the neck instead of the waist. It's kind of a laptop version of the keytar, with a dork factor that rivals the "Light Head Magnifier." The site claims that it's "ergonomically designed" but, depending on the weight of the computer, we can't imagine using this for any length … Read more

How Bad Is The Spill?
There is still no way to tell how bad the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will ultimately end up being. But, at this point we know the ecosystem is being ruined and the people on the gulf are having their lifestyles destroyed.
Please pray that the oil spill is stopped.
What a nightmare.
This video is from last week and it has just gotten worse.

"Plaza says her dream is to do a real middle-of-the-road romantic comedy, specifically one with Ryan Gosling, who once approached her in a juice bar to tell her he loves Parks and Recreation. "I'd work in a flower shop and be insecure. And he'd work in real estate—sorry, I'm pitching a movie to you." She's not sorry. She keeps pitching. "And there's always cupcake batter on my face, and I'm like, 'I just made these cupcakes, but I don't know how I feel!' And he's like, 'Let me get that cupcake batter off your face … with my dick.'" She's cracking up. "Cut to me giving him a hand job. Sorry, I've had too much caffeine." — NEW YORK MAGAZINE

Washington, D.C. (May 2, 2013) The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) today expressed concern over specific foreign government's weak intellectual property (IP) enforcement efforts, following the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative's (USTR) release of its Special 301 Report.
"The USTR's Special 301 Report illuminates the failings of India, China, Brazil and Canada, among others, to provide adequate IP protection for biotechnology companies creating novel and innovative products," said Joseph Damond, BIO's Senior Vice President, International Affairs. "We support the USTR's ongoing efforts to encourage IP policies throughout the world which ultimately benefit consumers."
As laid out in recent Special 301 Submission guidelines, BIO shares many of the USTR's concerns over the decision by India's Supreme Court to deny patent protection for a novel therapy on the grounds it did not demonstrate "enhanced efficacy." At least eight medicines have lost patent protection in India when such protection is granted to these products worldwide.
Furthermore, China, Brazil and Canada have established additional bureaucratic and burdensome hurdles to patentability. Brazil's unprecedented review of patents by the health regulatory authority, China's increased data requirements and Canada's increased utility requirements all ultimately undermine the process and may delay the delivery of novel medicines to market.
"In our Special 301 Submission, BIO encouraged the USTR to perform out-of-cycle reviews of these country's patent systems, as they are currently undergoing dynamic change. This is as an appropriate means of monitoring and responding to inadequate IP protection for innovative and creative industries," said Damond. "BIO continues to work around the world to champion IP rights as a vital means of creating jobs, saving lives, advancing global economic growth, and generating breakthrough solutions to global challenges."

Chesterton Espresso Convertible Rollerball
Great Pen
This has become my most favorite pen. It is easy to fill from a bottle once I got the hang of it. A little depth perception required to get the filler hole below the top of the ink. I use blue/black ink and it looks great.
March 5, 2014
Levenger More Convertible Rollerballs Please!
Levenger, I absolutely love this pen as I enjoy fountain quality ink with the ease and grace of a rollerball. This pen writes beautifully and the ink fluidly flows across paper. I love the eco-roller from Visconti and this pen easily compares at almost half the price point. The colorful expresso nature of this pen is also a nice touch! Levenger oh Levenger please make available to us this pen in a array of vibrant colors as I would buy them all! Can you accomodate this request?
March 4, 2014
Awesome Pen
This is a beautiful pen. I have two Tru Writers and now I have another beautiful pen to add to my collection. Love the feel and the way it writes. I have the convertible style and am enjoying it very much. Color is very rich.
February 24, 2014
Beautiful to look at, but skips
Maybe the cartridge of ink is the trouble, I haven't tried to use the convertery to fill from an ink bottle, but thought I should let you know this first disappointment . Heartbreaker. Gift from my wife.
February 9, 2014
Perfect blend
Took no time at all for this to become my favorite pen. I'm still a fountain pen aficionado but have found them increasingly difficult to incorporate into my work life (especially with air travel, which always seemed to wreak havoc on my fountain pens). I had just about resigned myself to gel pens when I discovered the Chesterton. Perfectly strikes a balance between the expressiveness of a fountain pen and the convenience of a rollerball or gel pen. I'd love to see this available in more styles. An addition to the L-Tech line, perhaps?
January 30, 2014
The converter doesn't go in!
I love this pen. Or, I want to love this pen. But the converter doesn't fit into the nib section. Neither does any other converter that I try. I suspect that the cartridge probably fits, but that's besides the point (so to speak!). The beauty of this pen and its functionality depend on the user's ability to fill it from a bottle, and at this precise moment, that is not possible. At least, not with my pen, and not with ink going all over the place because the seal is not tight. With deep regrets.
January 14, 2014
don't do it
I received this beautiful pen as a gift. I used it sparingly and it began leaking all over my hand. I emailed levenger and they graciously replaced it. I hadn't used the pen hardly at all and took it on a trip where it leaked all over my travel bag. I left it alone and hoped the problem would self-resolve. I just took it out and literally wrote 11 characters and it started dripping ink. Don't buy this pen.
January 14, 2014
Chesterton Shines!
I just received this fine Chesterton Rollerball on Christmas morning 2013. I am a Levenger customer for years and my wife surprised me with it. I am pleased with every aspect: weight, feel in my hand and smoothness of ink to paper. This one will go to the office for everyday duty! No need to hide in a pen case! Excellent pen, highly recommended. Another perfectly executed pen by Levenger. Thank you!!!
December 25, 2013
Nice pen, but engraving department missed the mark
Purchased item as a gift and arrived in a nice package. The pen appeared to be well made. Paid extra for 2-day Fed and engraving and only to find out the engraving was never done. Wouldn't have expected this from Levenger. Let's hope it was an anomaly.
December 15, 2013
Amazing Pen
When I opened the package for this pen, all I can say is that it is stunning. So Stunning that I went and purchased the fountain pen of this model. Although I have not and most likely will not purchase a 400 dollar plus fountain or convertible pen, I don't see how they could be that much better in writing. This pen as well as the fountain pen in the same model writes incredible. It doesn't skip, writes excellent. I see no need for me anyway, to purchase anything other than a True Writer with the Levenger ink. For the money and what I use them for incredible value for me. I would rather have 4 Levenger True Writers rather than one 400 dollar fountain pen by another manufacture. Don't hesitate to purchase.

07/26/2011 - A new study from an advocacy group shows that overfishing two years ago cost millions of dollars for fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic.The study released Monday by the Pew Environment Group says Gulf fishermen lost $12.3 million and South Atlantic fishermen were out $2.9 million because of depleted populations of red snapper and gag grouper. The study says revenues could have been 16-32 percent higher if not for the population declines.The study is being released weeks before fishery managers will consider new protections for gag grouper in the Gulf and new catch limits on dozens of species.Read the full article Advocacy Group: Overfishing Cost Fishermen on the Miami Herald's Web site.

I watched a woman die this morning. Family herded near. Huddling for comfort within their sorrow, I was unmoved by their grief. From across the Special Care Unit room, I could hear her gargled and laboured breathing. She was drowning in the fluids her own body was producing. In defence, I had another charge. A grey person in custody not 15 feet away, being treated with the same respect by professionals who, unfortunately must steel themselves. Detached remorse is all they can offer. I can understand, it's not easy tending to those who are dying. As caregivers, they have chosen a life of sacrifice and of healing.A burden, out of a passion to help others.
Curiosity, the benign part of mischief, takes hold and I traverse the room. Drawn to empirical truth. An LCD monitor with lines and numbers record her failing biorhythms. Oxygen saturation drops as resperations per minute meet single digits.I find myself enthralled, almost calling a play by play. Breathing spikes, as other indicators free fall, and time ticks forward. My gaze wonders away and around. I can smell what I had already sensed. Death. It dosen't disturd me, but I have never borne witness as it happened. Discretion provided by a light blue curtain, camouflaging the fact of an ending.
The family departs, hollow, shell-shocked, too enveloped in grief to shed a tear. Shitty way to spend Christmas. I offer empty,but sincere condolences. I watch, as electronically, the death of a human being is recorded with finality. Flatline
I sat with Death tonight and bore witness to its void.
I stood, curiously detached.

Audit shows state missed 2012 revenue projections by $288M
Governor Christie's $31.7 billion budget projects more than 7 percent revenue growth. But a new audit shows tax collections fell short of his more modest predictions for last year, coming in at less than half of what he expects for this year.
Christie, a Republican who is seeking reelection this year, based his call for the income tax cut he proposed in early 2012 on a blossoming state economy.
But information included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report released by the state Department of Treasury on Wednesday shows Christie missed his revenue projections for the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2012, by roughly $288 million.
The shortfall was whittled down to just $123 million after a series of routine budget adjustments, and no bills were left unpaid or overdue. The gap was simply carried over into the current budget year because the state constitution prohibits deficit spending.
But Christie is projecting much bolder growth to support the $31.7 billion spending plan he signed in June, and the audit offers no evidence of such an expanding state economy.
The audit confirms the state saw growth during the last fiscal year, but not as much as Christie predicted and much less than he's projected for the current budget year. Major revenue sources grew by a combined 2.8 percent during the last fiscal year.
The current budget, however, projects revenue growth of more than 7 percent to sustain a $2 billion spending increase.
But so far, tax collections have failed to live up to the governor's budget targets. All 14 revenue sources tracked by the non-partisan Office of Legislative Services have lagged Christie's projections.
Last month, the Department of Treasury released a revenue report that showed tax collections are a combined $451 million behind the governor's budget targets. The state would have a $2 billion shortfall if the current revenue trend holds through the end of the fiscal year in June and no spending adjustments are made.
That leaves Christie with little to no margin for error because his planned $570 million surplus fund had to absorb the shortfall carried over from the previous fiscal year.
