Talus trees are still standing for now
August 19, 2014
By Peter Clark
A tussle over trees in Talus continues to take its toll.
After six homeowners applied to the Talus Residential Association to remove 19 trees in a communal area this past spring, a groundswell of protest began aiming to protect the landscape. The homeowner applicants claimed that the trees blocked views offered by the development's place on Cougar Mountain.
"We had views of Lake Sammamish, downtown Issaquah and the Cascades," Henry Farber, one of the initial applicants and the attorney representing them, said. "That was part of the interest in buying these houses for all six of us. In the last eight years, all these trees have grown over."
The removal was slated to happen in April, but city officials halted the process because more trees were marked for felling than had been approved. Then, a subsequent appeal from residents led to the residential association board's re-evaluation.
To respond to the appeal, the Talus Residential Association held a meeting to hear both sides Aug. 13. There, only lawyers could present their cases, but that didn't stop about two dozen residents from showing up to watch the proceedings.
Farber's argument is the tree growth affects the aesthetic value as well as the financial value of the homes.
"There was a significant downgrade with a recent assessment of our views," Farber said. "There was an $80,000 (each) decrease to the value of our homes."
The homeowners' application was made possible due to the Talus Residential Association's passage of a view preservation rule in January that opened the doors for such situations.
The homeowners offered to pay for the removal of 19 trees and the planting of 63 to replace them. The replacement trees would grow significantly shorter than the big leaf maples currently obstructing views.
"From our perspective, those 63 replacement trees are an important part of this," Farber said. "They will provide shade, privacy and stability to the land."
Janet Irons, the attorney representing the Talus appellants, said the application to remove the trees and the view preservation rule itself was against the initial development agreement struck between the city and developers.
"The development agreement has a specific provision that trees and forested areas are protected unless there is a safety issue," she said.
She said the view preservation rule violates the underlying agreement of Talus, and was passed when the applicants controlled the leadership of the residential association.
"They're trying to create views rather than preserve them," Irons said. "One of the contentions of the appellants is that the trees reached their full heights before the houses were built."
Farber spoke against invalidating the whole of the residential association's view preservation rule.
"We think that would be a tragic mistake for all of Talus," he said. "If you look at the development agreement, while there is an appropriate desire to have a tree-like environment, there is just as much emphasis on having views."
The concern has spread throughout the city as various local activists weighed in on the proposed tree removal. Residents began a Facebook group to garner support for protecting the trees and Issaquah Alps Trails Club President Dave Kappler submitted an open letter to City Council members.
"The tree cutting plan proposed by the HOA is in violation of many of the agreements regulating Talus and the permit should be revoked by the city," the letter reads. "The proposed removal of many trees, including multistem maples and alder trees, is a major impact to the open space and to the adjoining residents. Justifying this because the trees are perceived as 'dangerous' would require the city to close most of their trails on Cougar Mountain, West and East Squak, Tradition Plateau, Park Pointe and some city parcels on Grand Ridge."
City officials have largely stayed out of the disagreement, instead deigning to let the residential association solve the matter internally. However, Issaquah's approval was initially needed and granted through officials in the Development Services Department.
"The homeowners association's election to remove certain trees, and replace them with comparable trees, is not a significant departure from the natural character of the area, such that a new landscaping plan must be permitted and approved," city Communications Manager Autumn Monahan said. "More often, our authorization simply serves to confirm that the anticipated work is not a 'significant revision.'"
Under those stipulations, she said the democratically elected framework of the residential association should determine the outcome.
Monahan also reiterated the city's commitment to conservation.
"Tree preservation in Issaquah is a high priority," she said. "The city is carefully monitoring this situation in the event 'significant revisions' in Talus are proposed."
The Talus Residential Association will decide whether to side with the applicants or the appellants by Aug. 27.

I am dismayed with the City of Issaquah's decision to allow trees to be cleared in Talus to allow for views of homeowners. This is occurring on top of many years of failed planting efforts in Talus near the Forest Path* system. The City's system of review for Talus has broken and needs your immediate attention.
The Talus Development Agreement (DA) spends a significant amount of print discussing the protections for open space areas outside of critical and Native Growth Protection Areas. It clearly requires trails and connected green spaces, with limited clearing, to supply habitat corridors and "Incorporate the existing forest into buffers or corridors to the extent possible, and add evergreens."**
Rather than allowing for trees to be taken down to supply views for the residents of Talus the DA requires trees to be planted, of large variety including forest type trees, to mitigate views from offsite. In addition, to offset the human inclination to clear the open spaces, the DA requires an educational packet for the residents of Talus to help them understand the forested nature of Talus and adopt it into their lives.
The definitions of maintenance in the DA do not include large scale cutting of trees, only the removal of hazardous trees and judicious pruning. (Pruning is not cutting down trees.) Further after reviewing the conditions from the actual plats, the existing vegetation is required to clear only the minimum necessary to create the trail through the open space and extra landscaping was to be added.
Now, after the neighborhoods were built adhering to those conditions, there are two problems. First, many of the planted areas along the forest paths are dead and not maintained. Second, some Talus residents want views. Indeed the Talus HOA passed a rule that allows the taking down of trees for views, in large part along the forested paths and the City held the position that this does not violate the DA. Further the City permitted the removal of 30 some trees in Division 5 along a forested path. So Talus has a double whammy of dead landscaping and large tree cutting in the areas required by the DA and by Plat conditions to be protected and improved with landscaping.
It is frustrating and disrespectful of the time and energy put into the DA, the Plat review by UVDC, Council and the hearing examiner to have the required conditions overturned by lack of enforcement and a staff permit approval to clear trees.

"Tree preservation in Issaquah is a high priority"
I rarely see that it is when development is concerned, when most of the time every green thing on an entire parcel is allowed to be scraped away and bulldozed into oblivion.
There are of course, some trail corridors, open spaces and buffers that are supposed to be "protected", but they can still be and are cleared for utilities, service roads, and water towers like the ones in Talus.
When growth is concerned, the above reflects the City's "commitment to conservation". It is the way things are done in many places these days, but to use words like "conservation", "protection", and "preservation" to describe it is disingenuous at best.
The greater issue with the Talus trees that effects all of us in Issaquah, is they are adjacent to long completed neighborhoods, not in undeveloped parcels. These trees only "crime" is…surprise, surprise….they grew up out of the clearings.
Growing trees is something that we all deal with, and is an issue that the City Council extensively discussed and dealt with a few years back when they created the City's current tree ordinance. It outlines the rules and pathways for trimming, cutting, and maintaining views.
Logically, these Talus neighborhoods should be following the exact same rules the rest of have to. However, the City has decided to punt this issue back to the Talus HOA for a decision. I guess when the going gets tough, the City gets going.
The nut of the problem is once upon a time, Issaquah had a Planning Department whose Department Head really tried to follow the City's rules and the City Council's policies, and attempted to apply them fairly.
What we now have is a "Development Services Department", and from their title is is pretty clear who they serve. What we have seen from them is an explosion of phonebook sized Development Agreements, uniquely tailored to each project. Different rules for different people, but with enough "Alice in Wonderland" rabbit holes and contradictory verbiage to make is so anything can always be done or squirmed out of.
Compounding the problem, is the Development Services Department, beyond making the rules, gets to be the "Designated Officials" that interpret and "rule" upon them. The Talus trees are just one example of this.
While I am bothered by the potential loss of the trees in Talus, what is more bothersome is how our Government does things in Issaquah. Maybe if our City Manager could balance his budget each year without the ever growing need for more development fees, we would have far fewer of these labyrinth Development Agreements.
And maybe, if our City Council had it hands more firmly on the controls, and kept the City Staff squarely focused on polices and vision it creates, we would have far fewer of these problems….and more faith in our Government.

What is missing in the proposal to remove and replant trees is the loss of current tree canopy. Cities continue to lose tree canopy and with it the loss of stormwater runoff reduction, removing pollutants from the air and bird and other wildlife habitat. If you remove a 20 year old tree it takes 20 years to restore the original canopy and you lose the additional growth that would have occurred if the tree had not been cut down. We need to respect and protect the trees we have and plant more, not keep removing them. And when we "replant" trees we need to not just put in little trees where big trees were. That is not really an equivalent replacement but represents a net loss of canopy.

i'd like to say that this is news, but really, is it? we all know how this is going to go down – the trees will be removed and some lovely dogwoods will be put up somewhere as a "replacement" in accordance with the defined blah, blah in some legal document kept on a shelf somewhere, subject to change without notice. this is your future issaquah, you asked for it, voted for it, paid for it and continue to approve of it. the rest of us just stand by and shake our heads in disbelief and wave good bye to all that was here.

Another crucial factor not being discussed is the fact that the only trees the cutters are being forced by the city to leave intact are a few isolated, but very tall (in great excess of 100 feet), Douglas firs on the edges of slopes. The nature of Douglas fir ecology reveals that they, like many conifers, rely upon a surrounding woodland for root system support and wind buffering. After that supporting woodland is killed, these tallest of trees within the community will eventually give way to the westerly winds, with the very real possibility of having them fall on top of our houses. In reality, the clear cutting of these community-owned forest trails will result in the loss of true landmark trees. The profile of Talus, as seen from the town and from Highlands, will be very visible changed, all for the fulfillment of the desires of a few, against the rights of the many. The original greening of Talus has become the browning of the city. This trend will continue, and your own neighborhoods may be next.

The decision by the Talus Residential Association Board will be shared at the August Board meeting to be held on Wednesday, August 27th @ 6:30pm at the Fire Station training building located at 175 Newport Way (open to the public).
While this decision is specific to one portion of the extensive trail system within Talus, it sets the precedent for all other shared trails within the community.
For more information, including pictures and maps of the affected areas, please go to the "Talus Trees" Facebook site.

Those Talus trees should stay except for the dead and dying for the health of the other trees. I live in a neighborhood that use to have a green belt and witnessed the trees and foliage ripped out of the ground so they could build new houses. I can only describe it as rape of the land it was horrible to watch this happening. To take out trees just for a view can only be describe as selfish and that is putting it mildly.

On August 27th at the Talus home owners' board meeting, the board members again refused to hear any comments from homeowners regarding the ongoing threats to their greenbelts. Destruction of greenbelts is definitely a "significant revision" from the rules of the Development Agreement. Three residents presented these facts to the mayor and City Council in July. It is now September 1st, with no notice yet from the homeowners' board regarding their decision of the appeals, despite a promise of a decision by August 27th. The covert strategies of the board against the homeowners thus continues, keeping the homeowners in fear of losing their environment, and having no recourse against these illegal activities.

Origami peace cranes that had been roosting on the Newtown Congregational Church sanctuary altar since shortly after 12/14 have begun a new journey.
The 1,000 cranes had been made by members of Saron United Church of Christ, in Sheboygen Falls, Wis., on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. After the shootings at Chardon High School in Ohio on February 27, 2012, the cranes were sent to Pilgrim Christian Church in Chardon. In turn, Pilgrim CC extended their sympathy by passing the peace in the form of the Saron UCC origami cranes on to NCC after 12/14.
Following the bombings at the Boston Marathon on April 15, NCC church leaders decided it was time to pass the peace to Boston. Along with the cranes, NCC enclosed a letter from the Senior Pastor Matt Crebbin, which joins the letters from the previous two churches. The cranes were hand delivered to Boston's Old South Church ("the church at the finish line") by NCC member Diane Ciba on May 9.
As Newtown, and the world, continues to pray and hope for an end to violence, Newtown Congregational Church members have set a goal for themselves. The church is hoping to continue the gesture of the passing of the peace cranes by creating 1,000 with their hands by December 2013.

BOSTON -- Mary Beth Heffernan, the state's outgoing secretary of public safety, was nominated by Gov. Deval Patrick on Friday to serve as a district court judge.
Heffernan has served in her current post since 2010, but was recently one of several cabinet secretaries to announce that they would not remain in the administration for the final two years of Patrick's second term in office.
"I am honored to nominate Secretary Heffernan to a position on the District Court," Patrick said in a statement. "I have great respect for her and know firsthand her strong commitment to public service. She will be an excellent judge."
Heffernan will leave her current post on Jan. 11, according to the governor's office. Patrick had previously named Suffolk County Sheriff Andrea Cabral to take over as the new public safety secretary.
Heffernan has been a lawyer in Massachusetts for more than 20 years and previously served as a prosecutor in the Middlesex District Attorney's office.
Her final weeks in the cabinet post have been clouded by questions over her role in the 2007 hiring of Sheila Burgess as the state's highway safety director. Burgess resigned in November amid revelations that her personal driving record included multiple accidents, traffic violations and license suspensions.
Documents released by the state in December showed Heffernan, who was an undersecretary at the time, had been one of two people who referred Burgess for the highway safety post in 2007. But it was unclear who actually made the decision to hire Burgess.
Both Patrick and Heffernan have stated in recent weeks that the hiring of Burgess was a mistake. Patrick has strongly praised Heffernan's tenure and indicated that the controversy played no role in her departure from the administration.
All judicial nominations must be confirmed by the eight-member Governor's Council. If confirmed, Heffernan would serve as a circuit justice on the district court, meaning that she would not be assigned to any particular court location on a regular basis.
Patrick on Friday also resubmitted his nomination of Michael McCarthy, a Pittsfield attorney, to be an associate justice of the Southern Berkshire District Court. Councilors rejected McCarthy's nomination last fall on a 3-3 vote, but four new members have since been elected to the council.

Everyone is going green, but should you? You've heard that it's expensive to outfit your office with energy-efficient designs and decor. While some upgrades can be costly, it doesn't have to be. Plus, by incorporating so-called "green" upgrades, you might end up livening up the place a bit, cleaning the indoor air, and improving productivity.
Get A Wooden L-Shaped Desk
If you have a glass or steel-framed desk that's showing its age, it might be time to upgrade. But, upgrading doesn't necessarily mean going with a more polished finish. Maybe what you need is a good-quality wooden desk.
Wood has several important benefits that many small business owners often overlook. First, it's usually a little more expensive to purchase a wooden desk – wait, how is this a benefit over cheaper desk configurations? Well, for starters, the reason it's more expensive is because it's better built. This is especially true if you're buying solid hardwood and not press board material. Better quality materials tend to last longer.
Secondly, wood has a warm finish that compliments almost any interior – even modern interiors. Wood is also a natural material and can help bring the outdoors, indoors. This might be important if you don't have many windows in your office or if you're in the middle of a cit block with no real view of a natural setting.
L-shaped desks tend to be competitively priced so, while you tend to pay more for them, the pricing isn't too far out of line from what you'd spend on more modern materials.
Use The Color Green
The color green can really brighten up a room, and the paint should cost you a lot either. Choose a light green that creates a sense of freshness and cleanliness.
Move Part of The Office Outdoors
This might seem a little difficult, especially if you rent space, but floor-level buildings sometimes have outdoor patios. Spending a little time, and even a little money, to create an "outdoor office" might give at least some of your staff the opportunity to get some fresh air while still getting some work done. One important consideration is noise – if you work in an area with a lot of road noise, this idea might not be feasible. Wind is another consideration. If you do decide to expand your office outside, make sure you have adequate wind screening.
Useful Accessories
Not all offices need accessories, but many do and don't even realize it. Rather than filing things in a metal filing cabinet, use wooden shelves with decorative storage bins. It saves space and it's stylish. You can also use storage benches to store papers and other supplies instead of putting them in another room. The bench is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Use Greenery To Clean The Air
If you rarely open your windows (which is common in business offices), greenery can help clean the air and keep you motivated to work. Common house plants, like the spider plant, remove VOCs and other indoor air pollutants. Philodendrons are another good plant for cleaning the air. In fact, research from the University of Technology, Sydney shows that this plant is one of the top varieties for removing VOCs and excess carbon dioxide. Lemon Balm freshens the air, while Peace Lilies will clean the air better than almost any other house plant – plus they're very attractive and don't need much sunlight.

INDUSTRY NEWS & ANALYSISStarting in 2014, on-highway trucks and vocational vehicles such as this Mack Granitedump truck, will need to meet greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards thanksto groundbreaking new rules recently finalized by the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Dept. ofTransportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
2014 to 2018, they divide trucks into
three categories — combination tractors (semi-trucks), heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans, and vocational
vehicles. The joint standards cover
complete vehicles, allowing the agencies to achieve the greatest possible
reductions in fuel consumption and
GHG emissions, while avoiding unintended consequences.
Two types of standard metrics have
been adopted: payload-dependent
gram per mile (and gallon per 100-
mile) standards for pickups and vans;
and gram per ton-mile (and gallon per
1000 ton-mile) standards for vocational vehicles and combination tractors.
Focusing on the specific categories, heavy-duty combination tractors,
the agencies adopted differentiated
standards for nine sub-categories of
combination tractors based on three
attributes: weight class, cab type and
roof height. The standards will phase
in to the 2017 levels as shown in

SoftBank Announces New High-Speed Cellular Network
SoftBank announced a new dual-carrier HSDPA network at a press conference held in Tokyo today. Named Ultra Speed, it has a theoretical download limit of 42Mb/s – just under six times faster than highspeed 3G – putting it in the same class as residential landline Internet connectivity, not to mention faster than NTT Docomo's LTE, at 37.5Mb/s, and KDDI's Win High Speed at a very, very snails' pace of 9.2Mb/s. SoftBank are also promising a rollout to 60% population coverage by June 2011, way faster than Docomo's LTE rollout – projected at 20% in March of 2012. As of today's announcement, only two non-phone offerings – the 007Z Wi-Fi mobile router and the 005HW USB stick antenna – will be compatible with the new network, but the company promises more to come.

It's that time again…our Beauty Detox Blogger recipe assignment!
This week's recipe was inspired by our Beauty Detox for fitness post yesterday. I wanted to be give another easy option to whip up as a snack or post-workout, if you want to up your protein intake.
It's full of beautifying, strengthening spirulina — which brings a host of amazing benefits, including:
- Supports cardiovascular, eye and brain health, boosts immunity and energy.
- It is one of the most complete food sources in the world with over 100 nutrients, 60% protein content
- Contains the highest levels of carotenoids
- High in antioxidants known to promote health and longevity
- Excellent protein and nutrient source for those on a plant-based diet
One brand you can find in many places is the only Spirulina farm in Hawaii, called Nutrex and can also be found here. That company has been cultivating Spirulina continuously for over 25 years with Hawaiian deep sea water containing 94 trace minerals in a BioSecure zone free from pollution.
I think spirulina is so pretty! It can be an acquired taste, but with the right combination of ingredients, it will balance nicely.
But first, let's not give a nod to those who participated in last week's recipe assignment! Everyone who participated did such a lovely job, it was really beautiful and inspiring to see.
Below are some of our faves:
A. Marlene Martinez – www.julybody.com
B. Christine – www.findingmyfit.org
C. Jen Colombo – www.jensfoodchallenge.blogspot.com
D. Amanda Schaller – www.thesweetswiss.com
Amazing job, ladies! You really rocked this week — all of you who took part– and please know that the process you're using to remix these recipes each week can be used on ANY recipe. Yes, that includes any of the recipes you'd find in The Beauty Detox Solution and The Beauty Detox Foods! So this can be an opportunity to go back into the books and try out your own versions of the recipes there as well!
Now, before we go into this week's recipe assignment, let's cover the guidelines:
Also, at the beginning, I gave you an example of a good company from a pure region in Hawaii to use for spirulina. If you use another brand, be sure that it's certified organic, is tested to be free of heavy metals, stored in a container that does not allow light to enter (the delicate antioxidants and essential fatty acids are light-sensitive!), and then store in a cool, dry place.
All clear? Great! Now, let's go into the actual recipe…
Spirulina Power Protein Smoothie (serves 1)
- 1 cup coconut water
- ½ tsp spirulina powder
- 2 small ripe bananas, or 1 large ripe banana
- 1 serving raw vegan protein powder*
* I like the Garden of Life brand. It's my fave. They use all non-GMO, organic protein sources. Here's I'm using the vanilla flavor, but I like the plain one also. For Garden of Life, 1 serving is 3 Tbs.
- stevia if you need/want sweeter
- 1 tsp. of bee pollen, for added B vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids and vitamins
Blend everything together in your blender, preferably a Vitamix. Drink fresh!
Now It's Your Turn–Let's See Your Variation of the Power Protein Smoothie!
Here are the next steps to make this recipe your own:
1) Try out this recipe with the ingredients that you have in your kitchen now. You can use spirulina, or you can come up with something else to include, if you don't have it.
2) When you make your own version, be sure to write down the ingredients, take pictures and turn it into a simple blog post. Hopefully by now, you're getting the hang of this! If this is your first attempt, you can take inspiration from all the other girls who have been doing this and having a blast each week!
Once your blog post is live, be sure you share it — while linking back to this post, with the original recipe idea.
3) Be sure to also post your recipe post into the Private Facebook group, so that we and others can see it. We'll like or share or comment on all recipes that you send our way, to support you and show the community your amazing work.
4) Also, email the link to Katelyn, our community manager, at beautydetoxgirl (@) gmail dot com with a link to your post so she can keep track.
5) Share your post on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram — and be sure to hashtag #beautydetoxrecipe so that others can find it.

Police were on the 200 block of Parker Street to respond to a call they had received about loud music. They identified a shed where the music was coming from, and a man came out identifying himself as Shaun Paul, according to a police report. Carlsbad Police Cpl. Sam Dorado was told by dispatchers that Shaun Paul had a warrant out for his arrest through the Eddy County Sheriff's Office. The man who called himself Paul - later identified as Shaun Paneral - began to back away from the police officers and reportedly said, "What are you doing? You have no right to be here."
Paneral took off running north through the backyard, but officers caught up with him and moved him to the ground.
Paneral reportedly continued to resist and tried to pull away, but Dorado and Cpl. Rory Castaneda placed him in handcuffs and arrested him.

Hello Guru's
I actually start a JMX RMI Connector as a part of java process. The URL of this JMX is used by external processes to invoke operations on this process.
Now, my worry is - After starting JMX RMI Connector, Do I need to put some check to make sure that JMX RMI Connector is always up and if it is not up then try to restart that ? We use MX4J JMX implementation. Does MX4J provides some default feature which makes sure that once started it remains up always unless process gets stopped or process crashes ?

I mostly play post rock, post metal, doom metal, fusion metal, hardcore, etc
I'll start this off by saying that my hope with buying a new trem is that I will have better string transfer and thus better frequency response, if this won't happen then please let me know.
I'm comparing my CU24 with a PRS scale guitar that I built. The one I built has MUCH better frequency response and sustain which I like better and I'd like to get my PRS closer to the sound of my custom.
I built my custom after purchasing the CU24. The custom I built is a very full range guitar, much moreso than the CU24 but there are material and hardware differences so I'm unsure what exactly makes the difference in sound.
Custom: black limba body, quilted maple top, limba neck, ebony fretboard, stetsbar bridge, it's about .5 lb heavier than my CU24, similar body shape and style.
CU24: mahogany body, flame maple top, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, strat style trem/brige
What I don't like about the CU24 is that the sound is very thin, nasal with very poor bass response - I realize this is all subjective - compared to my custom which sounds very fat, full and deep, it really roars. I understand that it's a 6 string guitar and not a bass, I'm not looking for bass characteristics, I just want a thicker sound from my CU24 which sounds so thin by comparison.
Up until I purchased the PRS I've only ever owned Gibson style/TOM guitars so the strat style trem is fairly new to me. Since my cheap agathis Ibanez/SG copy (TOM bridge) also sounds somewhat thicker and deeper than this CU24 I'm assuming that the bridge is the issue I'm dealing with. I changed out the bridge pickup in the PRS CU24 with a Lace Drop and Gain but it didn't change the nasal aspect I'm wanting to change.
That said, I'm looking at the Babicz full contact (with steel inserts) or the Super-Vee trems. Will either of these trems do what I'm wanting or is the strat style bridge design inherently upper midrange focused and so I'll never really achieve what I'm hoping to attain? How about the Super-Vee with Babicz saddles? Any recommendations?

iPhone Remote support plugin (foo_touchremote) is an implementation of DACP server for foobar2000. The key feature of Apples version of DAAP is using Bonjour for discovery, so you need Bonjour Service (usually you already have one installed with iTunes).
Quick Start: Download Apple's "Remote" app from the appstore. Install component, go to the plugin settings page and pair with your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Try foo_touchremote 0.1.2.1 now!
Note: I'm not the developer of this component, but I think it deserves it's own thread

Hi, I just bought this iPad with latest OS, I tried to synchronize it to foobar2000 1.1 on my pc that runs Win XP sp3.
So I downloaded Remote 2.0 and Bonjour only and no iTunes. In your opinion what happened? I entered the four digit code but was impossible to find foobar library. I tried with windows firewall on and off.
Now Id like to know if it is a problem due to the touchremote.dll that is not suitable for the latest OS and if hopefully it will be fixed.
Best regards and many thanks to anyone who has the willingness to help me

|The incidence of various antiphospholipid antibodies, measured by commercial-based laboratory, with recurrent spontenous abortion and the impact of their profiles on reproductive outcome with active anticoagulant therapy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22523696 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Objective. To investigate the incidence of various antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs), measured by commercial-based laboratory, with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) patients and the impact of the species, isotype, titer, and number of positive aPLs on reproductive outcome in Japanese. Method. In this retrospective cohort study, 263 patients with RSA without possible causes were investigated. Of 131 patients with one or more positive aPL, 82 pregnant women under anticoagulant therapy were evaluated. Results. The incidence of various aPLs was almost consistent with previous report. Overall, successful pregnancy rate with anticoagulant therapy was 91.4% regardless of aPL profiles. There was no significant difference in the pregnancy maintenance rate between IgG and IgM groups or single positive and multiple positive groups, but there was a tendency for the rate with aspirin to be lower than with aspirin plus heparin in IgG group. Conclusion. aPL profile did not affect the pregnancy maintenance rate when anticoagulant therapy was actively introduced, however in IgG group, we recommend combination therapy with aspirin and heparin.

'Ten Good Reasons' Why I'm Touring Again
Hearing the completed versions of Too Many Broken Hearts and Especially For You in particular, were moments in my professional life that I will never forget, the door was wide open and I was at the centre of this incredible moment in time. You just knew that something magical was happening. It was very exciting. Only when I realise now that these are distant memories, do I appreciate how lucky I was. The great thing about this tour is, I can re-live those feelings and share it with the fans who were there with me.


text: The Motherhood Series is a genera themed series of five posts about many twists and turns of motherhood. In the first post, "The Comedy", I discuss some of my humorous misadventures experienced after having my first baby, including how I felt like I was "losing my mind"! In the second post, "Oh, The Drama", I talk about some of the dramatic moments in motherhood stemming from a toddler's wild emotions combined with the needs of a new baby. The third post, 'The Scary Times", is an honest portrayal of some of the scariest moments in my journey thus far. The fourth post, "The Action/Adventure", invites you along for the ride as I relay the fast-paced life of having a toddler and a baby with two completely different schedules. All leading up to the fifth and final installment, "The Love Story", yes – motherhood has its challenges but nothing can compare to the truly breathtaking bond between mother and child. Enjoy!

State utilities regulators on Thursday ordered substantial cuts to the subsidies paid to telephone companies for providing traditional landline service in rural areas.
Carriers will instead be allowed to levy a small increase on residential phone rates, while cellular users, who have traditionally paid the bulk of the subsidies, will eventually see a discount on their monthly bills.
Consumers pay into the fund via a surcharge on their monthly phone bill.
The money is used to reimburse companies for installing phone lines in rough terrain and rural areas where it can be costly.
Cellular customers are not excused from the fees, even though they derive little or no benefit.
An Associated Press investigation in January found that the monthly surcharges had enriched the state's telecommunications giants to the tune of $1.6 billion since 2003, with 60 percent of that paid by cell phone users.
Despite lobbying by the state's largest carriers to keep the subsidies intact, the California Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously to reduce the payouts to phone companies by more than $315 million over the next two years, and to cut the surcharge on monthly phone bills by 40 percent beginning in January.
Commissioner Rachelle Chong, who pushed the reduction, said the decision was driven by a surplus in the fund.
"We looked at how much we collected and we have plenty of money
because we have slightly over-collected," she said.
Customers will see the reduction on their monthly bill beginning Jan. 1.
However, the PUC softened the blow on telephone companies by allowing the state's two biggest carriers - AT&T and Verizon California - to increase rates by more than 2 percent for residential customers.
This will amount to an average increase of about 25 cents for AT&T customers and 41 cents for Verizon's.
The state's two other major carriers, SureWest and Frontier, can raise their rates in 2009.
Cellular customers will see no such increase.
Phone companies have consistently argued that without the high cost subsidies, they would have no incentive to provide service in hard-to-reach areas.
In comments filed with the commission, AT&T called the reduction in subsidies an "unconstitutional taking of private property."
But critics point out that since the high-cost areas were established in 1996, many of them have been transformed by development, including suburbs east of San Francisco Bay and the celebrity enclave of Malibu.
Among those who have lobbied for the reduction or elimination of the surcharges are cable television providers.
Since phone companies can use the money for anything they want, the cable companies argue, it could be used to provide competing television
Lesla Lehtonen, vice president for legal and regulatory affairs at the California Cable & Telecommunications Association, called the PUC's vote "a very bold decision."
"We're supportive of the Commission's decision to significantly reduce subsidies that no longer contribute to service in high-cost areas," she said.

David Brooks: A Brief History of Spree KillingsRoundup: Media's Take
Early in the morning of Sept. 4, 1913, Ernst Wagner murdered his wife and four children in the town of Degerloch, Germany. Then he went to Mühlhausen, where he feared the townsmen were mocking him for having sex with an animal. He opened fire and hit 20 people, killing at least nine.
This is believed to be one of the first spectacular rampage murders of the 20th century. Over the next 60 years, there was about one or two of these spree killings per decade. Then the frequency of such killings began to shoot upward. There were at least nine of these rampages during the 1980s, according to history Web sites that track such things, including the 1982 case of a police officer in South Korea who massacred 57 people.
In the 1990s, there were at least 11 spectacular spree killings. Over the past decade, by my count, there have been at least 26 rampages. These include Robert Steinhäuser's murder of 16 people in Germany, Seung-Hui Cho's murder of 32 at Virginia Tech, Anders Breivik's shooting spree at a summer camp in Norway in which 69 died, and the killing of 12 moviegoers in Aurora, Colo., last week....

I was planning on covering this MTV & Walmart story this week…not because I've heard any celebrity names associated with it, but because I figured MTV is a celebrity in itself. The Yahoo News article reports that "'Everyday Green,' a unique joint initiative designed to promote sustainability and demonstrate to consumers how to work environmentally-friendly products into their lives, would be on display at the NYC MTV Store through November 10. Sounds great, right?
Well, our friends over at eco.psfk are saying that it's all a bunch of greenwashing. Read their comments and see their comprehensive photos over at eco.psfk. Here is a quick taste:
If there's one thing we like about MTV it's that they have an agenda – but this exhibition isn't MTV voicing their concerns – it's a marketing ploy waving a tiny green flag.
The space is scarce of anything with depth. Most of the advice is on changing your lightbulb to a more efficient one. There are some displays on the wall promoting green products that Walmart sells and an apparently green Toshiba laptop. At the back of the cafe, six big screens blast all day long a promo for the Inconvenient Truth and a wave of Toshiba laptops shine down all day long on top of you.
Readers, have you been to the store? What do you think? Also, I kind of got started blogging over at psfk and eco.psfk…search around in their old posts and you'll see some of my "earlier work"!

Penn State wide receiver Brandon Felder (85) eludes the tackle attempt of Syracuse Orange cornerback Keon Lyn (8) during the second quarter on Saturday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
- Filed Under
Baby-faced because he's only 18 years old and rosy-cheeked because he had just put forth a solid collegiate debut at quarterback in Penn State's 23-17 win over Syracuse on Saturday afternoon, true freshman Christian Hackenberg coolly stepped to the podium deep inside MetLife Stadium and offered up very little about his day.
The Palmyra, Va. native was 22-for-31 for 278 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, yet he had few thoughts of his own even after head coach Bill O'Brien largely praised him.
This may have been due to the fact he was overwhelmed by the moment, but it probably had more ...

We all have regrets--and the beauty kind are often caught on film. A prom updo sits in a frame on our parents' mantle. An outdated lipstick shade grins at us from a friend's wedding album. Live and learn. Recently, we asked Kim Kardashian if any beauty trend still haunts her in pictures. "I used to do heavy, heavy painted brows--too dark a pencil and too filled in," she said. "The old photos kill me." She eventually remedied the situation. "What I should have been doing was using a lighter color than my brows. Now I use a light brown pencil and only kind of fill my brows in." Is there a look you regret trying?

DiskGO Biometric Flash Drive
updated 11:15 am EST, Wed December 27, 2006
DiskGO Biometric USB drive
Edge Tech has debuted a new portable flash drive, this time the DiskGO Biometric. As with most biometric drives, the device has a fingerprint reader that controls access; the DiskGO is distinguished, however, by using a sliding mechanism to protect the reader from debris and light impacts. Data can be protected with additional passwords and 192-bit TES encryption. The drive requires Windows 2000, ME or XP, and transfers at speeds of up to 480Mb/s via a USB 2.0 cable. It's being sold online in three different size increments: the 1GB model is $70, the 2GB is $100, and the 4GB costs $150. [Via Shiny Shiny]

USU football: Aggies to face angry Badgers
Logan • Utah State now faces another challenge. A stiff one at that.
With the memory of Friday night's 27-20 overtime upset of Utah still fresh on the mind of almost everyone in the USU program, getting the players grounded and focused remains a major priority for coach Gary Andersen.
Wisconsin looms Saturday night, a very tense and angry team after losing 10-7 at Oregon State. It also fired its offensive line coach, Mike Markuson, on Sunday night. Facing a Big Ten power like the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium is difficult enough for the Aggies. Not being able to sneak up on Wisconsin, like USU did against Auburn last year and Oklahoma the year before, makes the task even harder.
"We have to prepare for what will be a very hostile atmosphere at Camp Randall Stadium," Andersen said. "Wisconsin is going to be ready to go. They suffered a tough loss to Oregon State, and they are going to want to come away with a win this week. We're going to have to be ready if we want to be competitive."
Andersen said the next few days of practice will be dedicated to cleaning up multiple mistakes made against Utah and preparing a young team for its first true road test of the season. The Badgers hold a 16-game winning streak at Camp Randall Stadium, always one of the most difficult places to play in the country.
USU incurred 12 penalties for 101 yards, lost two fumbles, the second of which led to a Utah touchdown, and scored just twice on offense in regulation against the Utes. For all of the good things the Aggies accomplished, Andersen has told his team that making mistakes Saturday likely will result in a loss to the Badgers.
"We have to play mistake-free football," Andersen said. "We can't have 12 penalties and expect to continually win games. The good thing is that we were able to fight through a lot of it. The kids showed tremendous heart and character against Utah. But we have to clean things up going forward. The Badgers are a very good football team."

MEXICO CITY (AP) - The man who led Mexico's main leftist party in the past two presidential elections announced Sunday he is leaving it behind and may start a new party, throwing uncertainty over the future of the nation's political left.
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told supporters at a rally at Mexico City's main plaza that he is leaving the Democratic Revolution Party "on the best of terms." He also announced he is leaving the smaller Labor Party and Citizens' Movement, which also backed him in the July presidential election, when he finished second.
Lopez Obrador said he will begin consultations that would create a new party out of another, less formal organization that backed him, the Movement for National Regeneration.
The motives for the break were not clear, but it could complicate efforts for the left to rally again around a single candidate as it has in every election since 1988.
Lopez Obrador has been the most prominent figure within Democratic Revolution in recent years, one of only two people it has ever run for the presidency since forming in the wake of the fraud-tainted 1988 election.
Still, he has not been able to dominate the structure of the party, which has suffered through bitter internal feuds, many of which Lopez Obrador's faction has lost.
Lopez Obrador, who turns 59 in November, was one of many political figures who abandoned the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party in 1988 to support the candidacy of Cuauhtemoc Cardenas.
Lopez Obrador was a popular Mexico City mayor before seeking the presidency in 2006. He lost that election by less than 1 percentage point and his supporters then staged months of disruptive street protests, alleging fraud.
This year he finished about 7 points back. While his supporters again have alleged election irregularities, the protests have been more subdued.

The Greenwood School District will spend a $25,000 dropout prevention grant for iPads for the classrooms at Greenwood Middle School.
Interim schools superintendent Jennifer Wilson tells the Greenwood Commonwealth the middle school will be part of a program that implements the technology to enhance learning.
Wilson said having iPads in the classrooms will make learning more hands-on, engaging and real-world relevant. She said that should keep more students in school.
At the start of the school year, Wilson said the district's dropout rate was 21 percent, down from 39 percent in 2010.

DeGrave, Lapham Selected to USTFCCCA All-Academic List
A total of 431 men and women were selected for the award this year. The honor goes to athletes who excel both in the classroom and on the track.
DeGrave, originally a walk-on, was selected for the third consecutive year. He finished his excellent Drake career at the NCAA West regional where he reached the semifinals in his signature event, the 400-meter hurdles, in a time of 52.55.
The highlight of DeGrave's year, however, was his victory in the 400-meter hurdles at the MVC Outdoor Championships. He became only the fourth athlete to win three consecutive titles in the event in a time of 51.80.
DeGrave showed showed his versatility throughout the season, winning the 200-meter dash at the Messersmith Invitational hosted by Northern Iowa.
Lapham, a rising senior, had an impressive 2012 campaign finishing as the runner-up in the 1500-meters at the MVC Outdoor Championship (3:58.30) and fifth in the mile at the MVC Indoor Championship (4:16.19). He ran a personal best of 3:46.79 in the 1500 on May 4 at the Arkansas Twilight.
Lapham also reached the NCAA West preliminaries where he finished just outside of the next round in the 1500. He'll look to improve on all of his times in his final season as a Bulldog. It was Lapham's first selection to the All-Academic list.
Tulsa's Chris O'Hare (track) and Duke's Curtis Beach (field) were selected as the Indoor Athlete's of the year. Stanford's Amaechi Morton (track) and Virginia Tech's Alexander Ziegler (field) were both named Outdoor Athlete's of the year for the second consecutive year.
