text: Amador County & Calaveras County Regional Watershed Plan Appendix B Transfer of Development Rights Programs Introduction **Placeholder for introduction to TDR programs** Studies reviewing current TDR programs have reported similar findings regarding components of a successful TDR program. A summary of key elements of TDR programs is included below: Clearly-defined TDR goals. TDR programs can represent a host of goals but research has shown that successful programs have a straightforward, clearly-defined goal or goals. Traditionally, TDR programs arise in response to a specific goal, such as farmland preservation, habitat conservation, or regional water quality management. Strong incentives for "sending" and "receiving" landowners. A common technicality of creating interest in a TDR program is balancing the incentives for both sending and receiving area landowners. Not surprisingly, both parties need to see a financial benefit in order to participate. Local governments have responded to this challenge by offering sending-area landowners "bonus" development rights. For example, a landowner may have one development right per acre but by participating in the TDR program, the landowner can receive a bonus of 4 to 5 development rights per acre on another site, therefore, allowing him to receive a compensation comparable to developing his land conventionally. (seems like too much going from 1 to 5, are you sure about this?) Alternatively, receiving area landowners need to be awarded enough density per each development right purchased to justify the investment in acquiring development rights. A recent example is from King County, where a developer in Seattle paid the County $930,000 in exchange for an additional boost of three stories for a condo project. Also, an initial investigation on how much a developer is willing to pay for added density would help provide rural landowners with a better idea if selling their development rights is comparable to selling their land for development. This is crucial for drumming up initial support for TDR programs among rural landowners. Other incentives local governments can offer to encourage participation from both buyers and sellers include fast tracking application processing, and creating a TDR bank to act as an intermediary to buy and sell development rights. Fine-tuning and adjusting TDR programs over time are common solutions to respond to the changing needs of the market 1 Amador County & Calaveras County Regional Watershed Plan Viable receiving and sending areas. A TDR area should include a sustainable supply of sending areas that support conservation goals as well as receiving areas, which are able to absorb greater density. It is usually much easier for a community to decide upon sending areas because these areas represent larger community planning goals, such as preserving open space or farmland. However, not all undeveloped land supports overarching program goals, and the owner of prime conservation land may not be interested in participating in a TDR program. The best sending areas support conservation goals, have willing sellers, and are financially viable, meaning the property can be purchased at a value that most closely matches what developers are willing to pay for increased density. Choosing receiving areas can be more difficult. Common hurdles are the local perception of density and the activity of local real estate markets. Local resistance to density can make the incentive of density bonuses unattractive for developers since there is not a strong market and public acceptance for this type of development in the area. It is important to note that TDR programs do not decrease overall development that a region will receive but only redirect it. Therefore, a TDR program should be viewed as a trade off, community members are given the choice of where growth should be encouraged and where it should be discouraged. Another point to consider is the distance between sending and receiving areas. TDR programs tend to be supported both politically and publicly when sending and receiving areas are within an appropriate distance. For instance, it is much easier for residents to accept density in their neighborhood when they can benefit from preserved open space close by. Though a common approach is prioritizing and acquiring land located right at the urban fringe because these lands are usually in the direct path of development and communities want to curb growth. The downfall to this approach is that due to development speculation, these lands can come at a steep price, leaving communities not much to show for their investment. The lesson here is that distance between sending and receiving lands must both satisfy financial limitations as well as public perception of TDR benefits. Straightforward, effective process consistent with other policies and programs. Creating a TDR program that is simple to understand, has a streamlined application process, and is financially feasible will be necessary for long-term success of a TDR program. TDR programs are a mix of voluntary participation and regulatory enforcement, and finding a balance between these two forces is imperative to sustaining a healthy market. If a program is too financially burdensome either for the government to administer or for the developer to participate in, then the program will likely fail. Consistency within the decision making process is also key to a successful TDR program. Receiving density bonuses via the purchase of development rights should be the only way a developer can receive additional density. Offering alternatives for granting density, 2 Amador County & Calaveras County Regional Watershed Plan such as permitting "up-zoning" or by providing density bonuses for affordable housing, will undermine the legitimacy of a TDR program. Simply put, why would developers buy something they could get for free? Therefore, it is important to offer one type of density "currency," in this case, purchasing development rights. Presence of clearinghouses, banks, or organization to help stabilize market. A challenge of TDR programs is the unpredictable timing of when rural landowners will be interested in selling development rights and when developers will be interested in buying development rights. Also, the market is usually dominated by a handful of players making transactions few and far between. Therefore, the presence of clearinghouses, banks, or organizations can help stabilize the market by facilitating the purchase and sale of development rights. If these entities have initial seed money, they can even buy, hold, sell, and retire development rights based on current market needs. The presence of a "market stabilizer" can also provide reassurance to rural landowners and developers. This is especially true for new TDR programs that have not yet gained the confidence of participants in its legitimacy, long-term viability, or reliability of receiving areas. Therefore, banks can purchase development rights up front and take the initial risk to help get the ball rolling. **Case study: Tahoe Conservancy's Land Coverage Bank Appropriate scale and size of TDR area. The scale and area of a TDR program will be determined by the specific TDR goal. For instance, preserving land within the watershed might encompass an area of several thousand acres compared to preserving prime farmland within a specific valley, which might have a smaller, more concentrated area focus. Therefore, where suitable sending areas are located and the boundary that defines this area will be largely based on the community's conservation goal. This holds true for identifying receiving areas, too. Not every community or town will be able to accommodate the same amount of development or density. The range for receiving areas must be large enough to include enough viable options for receiving sites and have a healthy market of developers interested in purchasing development rights. Most TDR programs are centered around local jurisdictions. A downfall to this approach is that some conservation goals are much bigger than the local jurisdiction's sphere of influence. Protecting water quality within the watershed can require the purchase of land that is well beyond the local boundaries. Creating regional TDR programs provides a broader approach to tackling conservation and growth management goals that occur at a larger scale. Currently, there are not many regional TDR programs in the US. A regional approach also provides more options and choices when selecting sending and receiving areas. BOX: ** example of a regional TDR program** 3 Amador County & Calaveras County Regional Watershed Plan A common challenge is deciding how far apart should sending and receiving sites be located and still be appropriate and affordable to planning goals and budget. Communities will have to decide if sending and receiving areas should be located within the same county, the same watershed, or within a specific geographical range. For example, Montgomery County in Maryland has successfully conserved over _____ acres of land in the northern, less developed part of the county by directing growth towards the southern part of the county, which is located closer to the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. This approach has allowed Montgomery County to protect valuable farmland in the county while directing growth closer to areas currently served by mass transit, schools, shopping, and jobs. Strong Community and Elected Official Support Support from the community and elected officials are essential. Development rights, land use, and growth management are highly charged political topics and the program will more than likely run into hurdles and pressure from residents, landowners, and developers. A program can have rural landowners and developers willing to participate but if community members are not supportive and/or oppose development "in their backyard" then the program will eventually fail. Broad community support as well as support from government officials will help a TDR program withstand the pressure to be modified or changed. Where to Begin? TDR programs are great in theory but execution circumstances vary from region to region. A program that is successful in one area does not always guarantee success in another. Furthermore, community goals must be clearly defined in order to gauge if a TDR program would accomplish its intended purpose. For instance, "successful" programs do not always lead to a net increase in conservation. Lake Tahoe's widely touted TDR programs protect property rights but do not increase land conservation beyond the "base case." Once clear goals are established, the next step would be to invest in a comprehensive study to investigate if a TDR program is even economically feasible. This section will cover what an economic feasibility study is, why it is important, and what it should include. What is an economic feasibility study and why is it important? An economic feasibility study examines the potential market for buying and selling development rights by examining developer and landowner interest, studying trends in the local real estate market, investigating options for allocating development rights, and determining if there are an appropriate number of potential sending and receiving sites within the area of interest. Successful TDR programs rely on healthy markets, meaning a balance between interested buyers and sellers, as well as broad based support from the 4 Amador County & Calaveras County Regional Watershed Plan local community. Many TDR programs, for example, do not have active markets because they were not set up with much "market knowledge" in mind. Results from a economic feasibility study can help a community better understand if there is a potential market for a TDR program and if it will be able to accomplish community planning goals. What does it include? Specific components of an economic feasibility study include an analysis of developer and rural landowner interest, trends in real estate markets, options for allocating development rights, and potential sending and receiving sites. More can be included in these studies but these components are basic guidelines for developing a structure for an economic feasibility study. Developer and Rural Landowner Interest Developers are the engines that drive the market. If there is not enough interest from the developer side then a TDR program will struggle, Investigating how much a developer is willing to pay for added density is essential in understanding the potential of TDR program. An economic feasibility study would develop potential development scenarios and conduct an analysis of developers' willingness to pay by comparing the price difference between the value of the land under current zoning and the value of the land with enhanced entitlements. For instance, comparing the value difference between a property zoned 1 unit per 5 acres and then enhanced to 3 units per acre can help estimate how much a developer would be willing to pay for additional density. Though this amount will be a rough estimate, hypothetical values can be determined based on assessing developers' costs and including revenues and expected profits for different development scenarios. Rural landowner interest will depend on how much they could potentially be compensated for trading their development rights. Therefore, determing how much a developer is likely to spend will give rural landowners an idea about the compensation they are likely to receive. 5 Amador County & Calaveras County Regional Watershed Plan BOX: A ''how to'' example for assessing a developers willingness to pay. In a recent economic feasibility study for Gallatin County, the Solimar Institute used a land residual methodology to determine developers' willingness to pay for increased density. This method calculates the land value to the developer based on its income potential relative to the cost of development and expected profits. The result yields what a developer would pay for the land with enhanced entitlements or the "residual land cost." The residual land costs are then compared to what the land would currently sell for. The difference between these two values is the maximum amount a developer would have available to purchase more density. The available TDR fund is then divided by the total number of units in the project – the number of units is based on model density scenarios selected by Solimar. This figure provides a per unit "willingness to pay" value for TDRs. Based on current market conditions, results from the study found that on average developers were willing to pay between 5% and 17% of the current selling price of improved lots for the right to build an additional lot beyond current baseline density. Below is the criteria Solimar used in the study for analyzing developers' cost: Past years market price of improved lots Raw land costs Predevelopment costs o Land holding costs o Legal fees o Professional fees Site development/Infrastructure costs o Sewer/Water Tying into existing sewer/water system Central sewer and community well Individual septic and community well Individual well and septic o Roads Urban roads for sites annexing into cities Rural county roads Building construction costs Indirect costs o Impact fees o Financing o Insurance o Marketing/advertising/commission & closing Project profit Trends in the Real Estate Market Past activity within the real estate market can expose trends in supply and demand for housing, what types of developments are being built (i.e., commerical, suburban 6 Amador County & Calaveras County Regional Watershed Plan subdivision, etc.), and average housing prices. Combined, these factors point to how many ''players'' might be in the market for purchasing development rights. For instance, lot developers would be the potential buyers in a TDR market - not the individual home builder. Therefore, demand analysis will focus on lot developers and hinge on the market prices of improved lots, which are largely influenced by home and raw land prices. Options for Allocating Development Rights Determining the ''currency'' of a TDR program is another challenge because again there is not one broad approach that works for everyone. Eamples of how allocating development rights are usually determined are summarized below: Value based A value based method allocates TDR credits on a case by case basis, determined by appraised land values. This method has been used by communities where there is a wide range of land values within the sending area. This allows the TDR credits to reflect each property's development potential, which can be evaluated based on current zoning, proximity to existing development, access to roads, and access to public amenities and infrastructure, such as sewers and water systems. Though this method recognizes that not every rural property holds the same value, it can discourage participation from rural landowners because they are uncertain how may TDR credits they would receive for their land until an appraisal. Acreage based Basing TDR credits on acreage is a catch all method that levels the playing field. This option is attractive because it is predictable, straightforward, and easier to manage on the administrative end. The downside is that this approach does not take into account the range in values between different parcels. For some areas, this is not a problem because a uniform allocation of TDR credits can be profitable for most or all sending site owners. Capability based Some TDR programs base TDR credits on specific capabilities of the land. For example, if the goal of the TDR program is preserving critical land within the watershed to protect water quality, then sending sites can be rated according to their capability of providing water quality services. Landowners that have highly rated land can be given extra incentive to participate in the TDR program by receiving more TDR credits per acre than other sites. This allows regions to prioritize lands based on their program goal, but still allow other landowners to participate. GRAPHIC: map from Galletin County with lands segregated by ''value zones'' a.k.a. TDR densities are allocated based on apprasied values Potential Sending and Receiving Areas Evaluating available stock of sending and receiving sites will reveal if there will be enough potential ''players'' in the market to support a TDR program. When considering 7 Amador County & Calaveras County Regional Watershed Plan sending sites, a first step is mapping out all land that falls within the scope and goals of a TDR program. The broad area will be further refined by evaluting site challenges, opportunities, and development constraints, such as steep slopes, wetlands, and floodplains. Some programs even require landowners to prove their land is developable. Alternatively, some land will have characterisitcs more appealing for develpoment, such as proximity to exisitng developent, which will demand a higher selling price. Balancing market price and ecologcial value of sending sites will determine if a TDR program can succesfully satisfy specific conservation goals. For instance, acquiring prime land within the watershed may be a prioity for a TDR program but if the land in question demands too high a price tag then the associated development rights will be too expensive for urban developers to purchase. Therefore, a site can have high ecological value but could not be included as a potential sending site because it is not financially sustainable. Obviously, receiving sites have a different set of criteria. Good receiving sites should be located near exisitng communities and be close to jobs, housing, transit, public amenities (e.g., sewer, water), and most importantly should be able to accommodate higher densities. Of course, higher density will be represented differently from region to region. What is considered dense in San Francisco will be very different from Amador and Calaveras, where high density might mean 6 units to the acre as opposed to 1 or 2 units per acre. When looking for potential receiving areas, the first areas to consider are unicorporated areas adjacent to cities, areas where it makes sense to form new towns, and areas within incorporated cities such as infill and redevelpoment opportunities. Each of these alternatives have pros and cons associated with them and largely depend on political climate and community support. Program Examples: **Placeholder** 8

Dear Mark: Sleepy After Chicken, Microwaving Bone Broth, and Safest CAFO Meat
Posted By Mark Sisson On May 6, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Dear Mark,Nutrition | 40 Comments
It's time for yet another edition of Dear Mark [7], and this time I'm covering some interesting topics. First up is the phenomenon of sleepiness following a meal of chicken with the skin on. Far from being an unwelcome, foggy sort of fatigue, this particular brand of sleepiness is pleasing. Could it be something in the chicken? Next, I discuss whether or not the proteins in bone broth are irreparably alerted – in a bad way – upon microwave exposure. I don't come to an ironclad conclusion, but I do try to give some perspective on the issue. Finally, I try to decide on the "safest" CAFO meat to order when you're unable to procure grass-fed or pastured. Let's go:
Hey Mark, I love eating chicken, especially baked. I have noticed that after eating chicken meat with the skin I often feel pleasantly sleepy afterward. This is not a brain fog, food coma kind of tired. Just a nice tiredness. Do you know of anything about chicken that would cause this? Or is it just an association? Thanks! Sarah
As much as we criticize chicken for containing too many PUFAs [8] – which is a valid point, especially if you rely on chicken for the bulk of your animal calories – chicken fat is actually quite high in oleic acid, the primary monounsaturated fat and the same one found and championed in olive oil [9], ranging from 37% to 56% of total fat. In fact, it's the primary fatty acid in chicken fat. In the body, oleic acid can be converted into oleamide, a fatty acid amide. Fatty acid amides are formed when a fatty acid combines with an amine, and they are used in chemical signaling within the body. Oleamide in particular has been fingered as a potent sleep-inducer:
Beyond helping to regulate sleep, oleamide likely has other physiological roles. For one, it appears to inhibit the inflammatory effects [14] of lipopolysaccharide, the toxin released by certain gut flora. For a real nice sleep, try chicken soup. The glycine in gelatinous [15] broth links up (in your body) with the oleic acid in chicken to form n-oleoylglycine, a bioactive precursor to oleamide with "chill-out" properties of its own [16]. It's not quite so simple as "eat chicken fat, make more oleamide," but having more oleic acid in your diet should provide more substrate for oleamide synthesis, and thus inducement of sleep. Either way, it appears to be having an immediate effect on you. Even if my educated guess isn't correct, enjoy the sleep! You know, I've noticed this myself. Not just with chicken, but with pretty much any animal fat [17], which makes sense when you realize that animal fat almost invariably comes along with plenty of oleic acid. Beef fat? About 50% oleic. Pork fat? About 50% oleic. Lamb [18] fat? Around 45% oleic. I wonder if olive oil (mostly oleic) will work, too, or if it's something else in the animal fat that works in concert with the oleic acid. Interesting stuff. To find out the truth, just eat some animal fat before bed! Seth Roberts has had similar experiences with animal fat (specifically pork fat) and sleep [19], for what it's worth. Speaking of broth…
Mark, I just read your 4/24 post on how much protein should you eat [20]. I followed a link from that to an article on the Weston A. Price site (Why Broth is Beautiful: Essential Roles for Proline, Glycine and Gelatin [21]). One part of the article said that microwaving bone broth changes the proline in it from the trans to the cis form. This in turn causes 'structural, functional and immunological changes' in the body and can be nephrotoxic, and heptatotoxic. So, is this true?? Do you use a microwave to reheat broth? I have been, should I stop? Kitty
That's a great article, overall, which is why I linked to it, but I'm not very convinced on the dangers of microwaved bone broth [22]. Let's assume microwaving turns the L-proline into D-proline. Should we be worried about D-proline? Is it truly toxic to the kidneys and liver? There have been a number of animal studies examining the effects of the various proline isomers [23], and there are conflicting results. In chickens, L-proline induced amnesia, while D-proline did not. L-proline destroyed more hippocampal neurons than D-proline. Among chicks, L-proline caused more pecking than D-proline. Pecking is often used as a marker of depression in chickens kept in close quarters with other chickens. Now that I think of it, though, I'm not so sure "increased tolerance of inhumane crowding" is such a good or normal thing. Depression appears to be warranted in the chicken's situation! When injected into a chicken's heart, D-proline produced convulsions and death, while L-proline did not. D-proline produced liver and kidney damage in rats, while L-proline did not. There are also a few human studies, not on the effect of dietary D-proline, but rather highlighting the constant presence of D-proline in our guts and in our saliva: Both D-proline and L-proline are found in human gastric juice [24]. Furthermore, patients with gastric cancer and H. pylori infections tended to have higher levels of L-proline, but not D-proline, in their guts. It's also present in our saliva [25] independent of our dietary intake. Does this mean broth should be microwaved in order to convert it into gut-protective D-proline? Does it mean that it should never be microwaved in order to protect us from liver lesioning D-proline? Of course not! I just wanted to highlight how depending on what research you use you could claim that D-proline is dangerous, deadly stuff that should be avoided at all costs, or you could call it neuro-protective and anti-depressant (at least for baby chicks). Look, D-proline may be problematic. I really don't know. And microwaving your broth may alter the proteins to make them dangerous. I don't know. I don't think it's likely to cause severe issues in the way we consume broth. I mean, how often are you drinking broth, let alone broth that's been heated in a microwave? Daily? Couple times a week? A tablespoon of gelatin, which contains just under a gram of proline, will gelatinize two cups of water, so you'll be getting about that much (of potentially converted D-proline) every time you consume a couple cups of properly set broth. I find that I don't use the microwave all that often for broth, but that's mainly because I like to add stuff to it and stir it in as it heats on the stove. I'll usually throw in some sea salt, black pepper [26], and turmeric [27] (and maybe some egg yolks [28]) as it heats. And if I cook with broth, say to make a reduction. My latest kick is sautéing some garlic, shallots, and ginger in butter, adding a splash of white wine, reducing that, adding a cup of real broth to the pan, reducing that, and then add chopped pastured chicken livers to the mix until it forms a nice, livery (yet mild) gravy. Excellent, nutritious, and no chance of creating harmful amino acids. I wouldn't worry too much about microwaved [29] broth, especially if that's your only reliable way to get it. Whatever you do, don't inject microwaved broth into your ventricles (either of them).
Dear Mark, If I have to choose among CAFO beef, chicken, or pork, which is the least of the "evils"? I try to get grass-fed/pastured whenever possible, but that's not always possible. Thanks! Goldie
CAFO animals eat industrially-produced feed, which means exposure to a fair amount of pesticides and other toxins. Do these show up in the actual meat, though? Let's take a look at some average findings, according to the What's on my Food? [30] website. Beef fat [31] samples contained 10 pesticide residues, including significant amounts of DDE and dieldrin. DDE is a metabolite of DDT, and it's been linked to impaired neurodevelopment in children [32], lower birth size [33], and chronic kidney disease [34], among other conditions. Dieldrin is an organochlorine insecticide banned in the US since 1987 that still manages to display remarkable persistence in the food supply, even biomagnifying – become more concentrated – as it moves up the food chain. 33% of samples contained DDE and 15% of samples contained dieldrin. Beef muscle meat and liver [35], however, were absent of pesticide residue. Poultry fat contained no residues, whereas poultry thigh and breast both have been shown to contain detectable levels of eight and seven pesticides, respectively, though at a far lower rate than beef fat. Residues from three pesticides have been found in pork meat, while pork fat has been shown to contain up to eight pesticides. Winner: Lean beef or beef liver.
Since the ruminant is pretty resistant to dietary influence of its fatty acids, CAFO beef fat contains just 4% PUFA, with the rest being saturated and monounsaturated fat. That's pretty solid. Too bad you're missing out on the CLA [36] content found in grass-fed beef [37], though. Pork fat is decent in theory, but in practice – which includes the feeding of soy, corn, and related oils to pigs – the PUFA content of pork fat can get as high as 32% [38]. Chicken fat is PUFA-rich, and it's getting even richer. Since 1980, the average linoleic acid content in chicken has increased by 2.6 times, while the omega-3 content has dropped even further. Nowadays, CAFO chicken fat is a bit like tasty vegetable oil. Winner: Beef.
A new report [39] found antibiotic resistant bacteria [40] in 81% of ground turkey, 69% of raw pork chops, 55% of raw ground beef, and 39% of raw chicken parts. I know how much you all love your rare turkey burgers and medium rare chicken thighs, but it's just not worth it. Beef seems to be the most risky here, for two reasons: grinding beef increases the surface area and spreads the bacteria evenly throughout; beef is often eaten rare, which keeps the bacteria alive. Sure, you've got the occasional crazy who demands his chicken thigh pink, but that's pretty rare. Winner: Chicken, which has the least resistant bacteria and tends to be well-cooked.
While no CAFO animal lives a "good life," some have it worse than others. Chickens live in crowded warehouses with tens of thousands of other chickens with no access to fresh air. Pigs live on concrete slabs, oftentimes in pens too small to turn around. Cows, on the other hand, typically start out on pasture before being transferred to feedlots. All animals suffer stress, but it seems obvious that cows suffer "less" than the others. Winner: Beef, although I'm hesitant to call it a winner. Overall? I'd say go for the lean CAFO steak. But if you don't make this sort of thing a habit, go for whatever you want and enjoy it. Thanks for reading, folks. Take care.

AHA Roundtable: Historians' Perspectives on the Supreme Court Health Care Ruling
In light of the historic importance of yesterday's Supreme Court decision, and with the belief that history can help inform debate on any contemporary topic, [the American Historical Association offers] three commentaries from professors of history on yesterday's ruling on the Affordable Care Act.
Alan Brinkley, Columbia University
Having prepared comments on the demise of the health care bill, I am happily surprised that the Court has sustained it. Over the months of waiting, I had thought that the only conservative justice who might support the bill would be Kennedy. Roberts seemed to be a long shot. In many ways, Chief Justice John Roberts's vote—so surprising at the time—is much like Justice Owen Roberts's votes on U.S. v. Butler and West Coast Hotel v. Parrish in 1935 and 1936, which supported the commerce clause in much the same way John Roberts did this week. Perhaps what made the chief justice support the bill might have been that striking it down could not only end the health care law but many other efforts that could be struck down in many other laws—with the possibility of returning to something like Lochner. [Read more…]
David T. Beito, University of Alabama
This is a bleak day for defenders of personal liberty. The Supreme Court has abrogated its responsibility as a co-equal branch. If the federal government can force us to buy insurance, under the catch-all pretext of calling it a "tax," it can force us to do almost anything. The same post-New Deal court which often upholds choice on abortion, pornography, and contraceptives continues to let politicians trample on the personal choice of Americans over their own pocketbooks. In we cannot freely spend the fruits of our labor on such a deeply intimate decision as health care, any other liberties are ultimately meaningless. [Read more…]
Beatrix Hoffman, Northern Illinois University
It is a historic day for health reform. The Supreme Court's decision to uphold most of the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) means that the United States will come closer to insuring all its citizens than ever before in history. Millions who had previously been excluded because of their health conditions or because they could not afford coverage will be able to join the system.
But even if the law is implemented to its fullest extent, the United States will still not have universal coverage. [Read more…]

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ADVENTRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: ANX) today provided an update on its product candidate, ANX-514, its polysorbate 80-free formulation of docetaxel. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that ANX-514 could not be approved based on the findings from the bioequivalence study of ANX-514 (Study 514-01) and that additional development activities would be required for approval. ADVENTRX met with the FDA to discuss required activities.
"We are pleased with the outcome of our discussion with FDA, at which the conceptual design of a single, additional clinical study that could support approval of ANX-514 was discussed. We believe the study requested by the Agency is reasonable, and we are developing a study protocol for submission to the FDA. We will provide a further update after receiving feedback from FDA on the protocol," said Brian M. Culley, Chief Executive Officer of ADVENTRX.
"We have netted over $50 million from financings during the last 18 months and we intend to use this capital to continue to develop ANX-514, to pursue acquisition opportunities, such as our recently-announced agreement to acquire SynthRx, and to prepare for the commercial launch of Exelbine™, should it be approved," Mr. Culley continued.
ADVENTRX met with the FDA to discuss ANX-514. Prior to the meeting, ADVENTRX submitted to the FDA a data package based on Study 514-01 and published literature. ADVENTRX believes the data package supports the conclusion that comparable clinical outcomes can be expected following treatment with either ANX-514 or Taxotere®, despite Study 514-01 not demonstrating bioequivalence, its primary endpoint, using an unscaled bioequivalence methodology. In particular, the data package concludes that unbound docetaxel concentrations

Description: Spanish director Jaime Balaguero brings us this jet-black horror thriller. Claudia (Emma Vilarasau) and Marc's beloved six-year-old daughter Angela dies under mysterious circumstances. Flash forward five years, and Marc has left while Claudia wiles away her time watching family videos of happier times. Angela suddenly inexplicably calls saying, They wanted you to believe I was dead. Claudia immediately calls an ex-cop, Massera (Karra Elejalde), to investigate the matter. To make matters worse, Claudia finds herself stalked by psychotic ex-boyfriend Toni, who simply radiates evil. As the movie progresses, Massera and Quiroga (Tristan Ulloa), a journalist who works for a magazine specializing in the occult, uncover a bizarre sadistic cult that sacrifices children.~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

Sleeping for Success at Work!
Sleeping for Success at Work!
By: Health Promotion Team | Health and Counselling Services
Those long wonderful hours spent in bed sleeping over the holidays seem like a distant memory now! Coming back to a full-time work schedule, social demands, chores, etc… can make getting a full, quality night's sleep a big challenge. As our schedules rapidly fill up, sleep is often one of the first things to go. However, getting a quality night's sleep is essential for your overall health and wellness. At SFU, 46% of students reported that they never sleep well enough to feel rested, only 11% reported sleeping well enough to feel rested most days (3-5 days per week), and over 30% of students reported sleep as one of the top three impediments to academic success (NCHA, 2007). Not only does lack of sleep impact on your work performance, it affects your moods, relationships, and compromises your ability to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Transitioning from an erratic student schedule to a fulltime work schedule has required me to rethink and readjust my sleep patterns in order to ensure I am on my 'A-game' every day at work! The days of pulling all nighters and getting by (not optimally might I add) on 2-3 hours sleep are over! Getting enough sleep is essential to ensure you can keep up with the demands of a fulltime work schedule and put forth your best performance.
So, how much is enough?
Take the sleep test – next time you're sitting quietly and trying to pay attention to something – like reading a never-ending list of emails, or sitting through a long meeting - do you feel drowsy? If you do, this means you're NOT getting enough sleep. When you can stay alert during quieter tasks, this is the optimum amount of sleep for you.
Tips to Help Ensure a Quality Night's Sleep
Here are some tips to get through the night problem free and ensure you are on top of your game each and every day at work.
Avoid caffeine 4-6 hours prior to bedtime, and avoid alcohol 2 hours before bed. It's a myth that alcohol helps you sleep, it actually reduces sleep quality – so think twice before downing that extra drink before bed!
Who doesn't love a good nap? However, napping for too long can actually make you more tired. Avoid napping if possible, but if you need to, keep it less than one hour and do it before 2:00-3:00pm.
Sleep schedule:
Try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule across the entire week (including weekends). Being on a consistent fulltime work schedule should make this a little easier, but don't let up on weekends, it will make the transition back on Monday even harder!
Yet another reason exercise is good for you! Exercising regularly is a great way to promote a quality night's sleep, but if possible avoid doing so within 2 hours of bedtime.Click here for more information on active living.
You know that growl your stomach makes when you're hungry, don't ignore it! Going to bed hungry may interfere with your quality of sleep. So next time you feel a rumble before bed, try a light carbohydrate snack such as crackers, cereal, toast, or oatmeal to ensure you don't wake up in the middle of the night famished! Click here for more information onhealthy eating.
Bedtime routine:
I know it's comfy, but your bed is not meant for everything! ONLY use your bed for sleep and sex, and ONLY lie down when you are tired. Avoid using your bed for things that may make you anxious such as studying, work, emailing, etc…
Ways to unwind before bed:
Ever feel like you just can't shut your mind down when trying to fall asleep? Try listening to soft music, taking a hot bath, read a non-school/work related book, or finding your own relaxation program.
Still Having Trouble Sleeping?
Here are a few additional tips if you have trouble falling asleep. Try getting out of bed and going to another room, when you feel tired, go back to bed. Keep a notebook next to your bed to rid your brain of lingering thoughts from the day. Avoid turning on big lights, computers, TV's, and/or working. If you are still having trouble, feel free to contact Health and Counselling Services to make an appointment to speak with a professional.

Back in June, we took our second look at what Fractal Design has to offer when it comes to the power supply market. We were very pleased with what the Newton R3 800W had to offer, but it was a tad bit expensive for an 800W unit. When you're on a tighter budget and need more power, you may have to give a little to get a get a little and that is just where Fractal Design's Tesla R2 series comes into play.
The Tesla R2 series is meant to fill the gap between their entry-level Integra R2 series and the Newton R3 series. You lose some of the features that you have with the Newton R3 series, such as modular cables, but you get more power than you can get out of the Integra R2.
The model we are looking at today is the Tesla R2 1000W, which is the largest power supply available in the series, but it is available in three more wattages making the series reach from 500W to 1000W.
We can sit here all day long and talk about things, but let's just start digging into this thing and see if it ends up being worth your hard earned cash.
Specifications, Availability and Pricing
The Tesla R2 1000W power supply features a single 12V rail capable of 80A or 960W. Both the 3.3V and 5V rails are rated for 20A each with a combined maximum output of 100W. The 5VSB rail is rated for 2.5A or 12.5W. Maximum rated output for the Fractal Design Tesla R2 1000W is 1000W.
When talking about budget power supplies, it is often assumed that there are going to be a few features missing. The big difference between good and not so good budget units often lies in just which features are missing. As most would expect, the modular cables are the first to go. After that you start getting rid of the protections.
Over Temperature is usually the first to go as it requires an extra piece of hardware to monitor the temperature and parts cost money. That is just what Fractal Design has dropped with the Tesla R2. The Tesla R2 does feature SCP, OVP, OCP and OPP. All of the native cables are fully sleeved. It features an 80 PLUS Gold efficiency rating, but is not rated for 100% continuous output at 50C. Instead, Fractal Design rates it for a more modest 40C.
Fractal Design has an MSRP of $164.99 on the Tesla R2 1000W power supply. That puts the unit competitively priced with the competition and definitely makes it a great buy for someone on a tight budget. The Tesla R2 series is just making its way into the USA, but it has been available outside the USA for a little while now. For the USA folks, at the time of writing, Provantage comes in with the cheapest price of $176.65 after shipping. Even so, that still makes this a bit on the cheaper side for a 1000W unit. Fractal Design offers a rather short three year warranty on the Tesla R2 series.

By the bowl: Spicy chicken soup chases away cold-weather ills
Spring officially arrived just a few short days ago, but we realistic Minnesotans know that we're apt to suffer through a few more bouts of lingering winter conditions before warm temperatures fully take root.

There will be an unprecedented show of English strength tomorrow when the Champions League draw takes place at Uefa's headquarters at Nyon in Switzerland. The Premier League's Big Four will be all present and correct - the first time any nation has so dominated the business end of the competition - and it speaks volumes that with no "country protection", to borrow from the Uefa lexicon, the psychological sparring already centres on the prospect of these English clubs being thrown together.
Sir Alex Ferguson was the first to announce that Manchester United were "geared to playing an English team", and Rafael Benítez said Liverpool would be "more than happy to face an English side in the final". The noises from Arsenal and Chelsea have been similarly bullish, and it is easy to forget that the European powerhouses of Barcelona and Roma will also be in the open draw, together with the less fancied Schalke and Fenerbahce.
"The Premier League is the strongest in Europe," said Ferguson. "For a spell, it was the Spanish league - I remember seven or eight years ago, they had three teams in the semi-finals. Spanish football was really strong but I think the English game has now reached that level.
"We now have a 40% chance of being drawn against an English team, which is a measure of the quality of this division. It doesn't matter who we get in the quarter-finals. Knowing who you'll get in the semi-finals as well is an incentive, but we'll take what we get."
It was fitting that San Siro should witness the establishment of a new European order. In the space of eight days, one of the citadels of world football saw Milan, the Champions League holders, deposed by the youthful cut-and-thrust of Arsenal and Internazionale, the Serie A leaders, eased aside by the discipline and cunning of Liverpool.
"Our victory shows the power and the strength of the Premier League," said Benítez. "We have fine clubs who are among the best in Europe, a league that is the same, and players of quality who are some of the best in Europe."
There has been the feeling, though, that English pre-eminence has been in the pipeline for some time. "I honestly think you could see it coming," said Steven Gerrard, Liverpool's captain. "If you look at how the English teams have done in the last four or five years, then it tells you they have had the quality. And it will continue. I think one of us will go all the way this year, we are a real force in Europe now. There can be no argument about that."
Certainly not in Milan, among other places. "You can say that the Premier League is not only the best for this season but for what its teams have done over the last few years in [Liverpool and Arsenal] reaching the final," said the Milan midfielder Kaka. "We can say they are the best league." The Milan defender Alessandro Nesta agreed. "At the moment, only the top three clubs in Italy can compete in financial terms with teams from the Premier League. They have the best players and, as a consequence, the best league."
Due largely to a series of mega-money TV deals, the elite clubs have prospered, with United, Chelsea and Arsenal occupying three of the top five places in the Football Money League, compiled by the business advisory firm Deloitte.
In Spain, Unai Emery, Almería's coach, pointed out: "A lot of it is down to the size of these deals and the money that is bringing in. In any case, these things are cyclical - one year it could be England, the next it's Spain, then Italy and so on." Espanyol's coach, Ernesto Valverde, added: "The English league is unlike any other and what they are achieving right now is miles ahead."
The wave of highly skilled imports has helped to raise the levels of technique and the arrival of forward-thinking continental coaches has refined tactical approaches. Yet the traditional virtues of strength, tempo and a never-say-die commitment - as illustrated by the Champions League final triumphs of United and Liverpool - have not been lost. Indeed, the old and the new make for an irresistible blend.
"There are some incredible players in the Premier League right now, there is such quality, but there is also the spirit of English sides and that makes them hard to play against," said Patrick Vieira, Internazionale's former Arsenal midfielder. "It is a remarkable achievement to get four teams into the last eight of the Champions League."

Is my Macaw young or old
I am buying a Blue and Gold from a man out of town. I have only seen pictures of the bird. He says the Macaw was 2 years old when he got it and he has had it for 2 years and the bird is now around 4 years old. This will be my first Macaw. How can I tell if he is really a young bird? I have arranged for a DNA test for sexing the bird when he gets settled in here. I want my home to be his for the rest of his life. I think it is sad to keep taking the bird to a new owner.
Re: Is my Macaw young or old
4 years old is nothing. he hasn't even reached sexual maturity yet. i hope you have large bird experience. these guys are no joke. not demanding like a cockatoo. but a lot of work none the less. just do your homework on B&G's. good luck.

Re: Is my Macaw young or old
Thank you. He told me the bird does have a band on his leg. I will check it out. I used to have had a green Amazon and a Mynah but that is it. No birds at this time.

Re: Is my Macaw young or old
Best way to tell how old a Macaw is is to cut it in half and count the rings ... hehehehe ... (I guess I shouldn't joke like that someone might take me seriously) ...
Though I am unsure how to tell how old a macaw is I believe there may be a way to tell by their beaks ... but again, I'm no medical expert, I just play one on forums. But what I can tell you about age is this ... saying that a macaw is 4 years old is like saying a 4 year-old human ... these birds are long lived ... and if you want to give a your new macaw a forever home ... you better be prepared. I am reminded of a Bolivian Blue and Gold macaw that I had the pleasure of meeting, his name was Sam. Sam had been with his original owner since she was 16 (he was her sweet 16 birthday gift) ... I met Sam last year when his original owner had to give him up because she had developed Rheumatoid Arthritis and couldn't really handle him any more ... SHE WAS 80! That made Sam at least 64 years old ... and oh my goodness, he was a love. So, these birds will out live you if you give them the care, routine and non-routine, that they need, and that these awesome, awesome creatures deserve.

The noise level was higher than normal, we could hear our upstair neighbor and it would sound like stomping. T Read Morehe pool amenities were my favorite part of the complex.

Meet Dr. Ichiro Irabu. In today's Japan, a traditional land beset by modern pressures and confusion, image-conscious people just can't be seen going to a therapist. Instead they visit "doctors of neurology" like Dr. Irabu. What makes the good doctor unique is his penchant for sharing his patients' stress-related ailments, aiding and abetting their compulsions... and making them much worse before they get better.
In this sardonic collection by the award-winning Hideo Okuda, we meet the many faces of dysfunction in modern Japan. In "In the Pool," a magazine editor's midlife crisis sends him deep into an addiction to swimming that threatens his job and his marriage. "Making a Stand" focuses on a man who, recently left by his wife, suffers a constant, painful, and embarrassing erection.
In "Trade Show Model" a pretty young woman believes every man she sees on the street is a stalker. In "Cell," a high-school student addicted to his cell phone cannot stop text-messaging the "friends" he so desperately wants. "Double Check" tells of a journalist afraid to leave home, for fear his house will burn down while he's gone.
How does Dr. Irabu do it? "No, no, no. I don't do any of that fancy-pants sort of thing. Some counselor listening to a patient's worries, then giving him wise words of encouragement. Perfectly useless." His approach seems to work.

Biden did a LOT better than Lyin' Ryan. Have you seen how the analysis of Ryan/Romney's "six studies" that support their impossible budget math is going? Not well. Not one of those six studies actually supports their math, even the two from the American Enterprise Institute!
Another funny 'toon. (I wonder if the candidates really are that nervous when they first get up there)
speaking from experience it all keeps going around UNTIL the first question and you focus on the answers.
The sad part is, it isn't really about issues, it isn't about real, actual competence, and the last couple of debates have proved that, where utter lies are considered "good debate." It's all about salesmanship, and who is slickest for the cameras.
Sad yes. The worst part is, both parties and their candidates set up the "dabates" so that they can do just what you described. It's distressing to know that the only way our two major political parties can cooperate is to put on a show to avoid substance.
Point out the "lies" please? Otherwise shut up so you won't be lying every time you post.
Several subjects both sides will continue to ignore. The growing poor, the effects of Global Greenhouse Effect is costing us now and will do so more so in the near future.
"The sad part is, it isn't really about issues, it isn't about real, actual competence, and the last couple of debates have proved that, where utter lies are considered "good debate."
If you debate the truth and the other side says you are a liar …… after the debate … after you had your Buttt handed to you….. it is about your competence to make your case.
If you have to interrupt 82 times and make faces when the other guy is talking and have the moderator interrupt 4 to 1 for you then it is not about your case but how many times you can try to make your case. The other guy just won because you over played what you had which was not much to begin with.
So what I am saying showmanship counts when you can not make a credible case. -
It's time to stop holding "beauty contests", and in fact "campaigning" strategy, and look to see if they can define a MANAGEMENT POLICY. Mitt and Ryan have not, just idiot platitudes.
Speaking of "W", if an arsonist burns down your business, and sets fire to your home, don't blame the fireman who has been limited to a garden hose, instead of a fire hose, by those who see their only job in Congress is seeing to it you can't put the fire out. They want to blame the fireman for what the arsonist did! -
"It's distressing to know that the only way our two major political parties can cooperate is to put on a show to avoid substance."
They cooperate just fine in raising their own salaries and benefits and perqs.
Also, in continuing to allow insider trading and suborning corruption.
Also, in creating and maintaing safe districts and other ways to increase incumbancy.
Allowing free passage between legislators and staff and industries they legislate about — not to mention lobbying firms. See Jack Abramoff.
Not to mention virtually unlimited bribes in the form of campaign contributions, luxury trips, etc. All campaign contributions can legally be converted to personal income if reported as such.
I believe the record for the fastest enactment of legislation was to eliminate TV blackouts of NFL home games when congressmen COULDN'T get tickets. -
Only two hours and 15 minutes to go and I'm confident I… rooooz… snooore… rooooz… Hmmm? What happened? Did I miss something? And why is everybody dressed in brown shirts all of a sudden?
The last 16 years have been the hottest globally. I don't know where you get that fantasy of no warming. Ever heard of the North West Passage? Recently it came very close to opening. Something that hasn't happened for 55 million years.
Lloyd Bridges from Airplane…
"Looks like I picked a bad day to quit smoking."
I took a public speaking class in college.
Glad the stakes weren't as high as they are for him/us.
