Lawrence drivers seem to lack need for speed
You're surely not talking about Lawrence, KANSAS where people drive more like 10-20 mph OVER the speed limit on major streets and 70 mph on narrow residential streets where they're sure they won't be caught. Those people waiting at stop signs are probably too busy talking on their cell phones to pay attention to their driving. Perhaps you only venture out during rush hour, your spedometer is broken, or, as has already been suggested, there are some funny-smelling cigarettes involved.

Survey: Lawrence residents displeased with transportation
They spent $29,000 for that? I would gladly have told them the same thing for a lot less.
It wouldn't cost a lot of money to improve the timing of the traffic signals on 6th Street just west of City Hall. Once upon a time, if you made the first light at Massachusetts, you got right on through. Now you have to stop at each one and merging traffic from the bridge boggles things up terribly.

Mandelker on Zoning and Alternative Housing
Daniel Mandelker (Washington University) posted Zoning Barriers to Manufactured Housing (The Urban Lawyer) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Manufactured housing is a major affordable housing resource for millions of people. Restrictive zoning barriers limit its availability, even though studies have discredited myths, such as objections to its safety and quality. A national statute, the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act, authorizes building code standards that address all aspects of safety, durability and quality, and that preempt state and local codes that deal with this problem. The Act does not preempt restrictive zoning, and Congress should amend the law to cover zoning restrictions. Judicial control of zoning barriers to manufactured housing is unsatisfactory and requires statutory change. Courts accept unequal treatment that applies restrictive zoning only to manufactured housing, though some statutes prohibit discrimination. The cases uphold exclusions from residential districts if manufactured housing is allowed elsewhere. Some statutes prohibit exclusion by requiring manufactured housing as a permitted use in all residential districts, or allow a community to decide what residential districts must accept manufactured housing. Courts uphold aesthetic standards, such as roofing and siding requirements, and some statutes authorize them, though limitations are needed to protect manufactured housing from exclusionary treatment. Communities often require approval of manufactured housing as a conditional use, and approval as a conditional use is often denied. Courts have upheld conditional use denials, and statutory protective standards are needed that will prevent abuse of the conditional use requirement.

Eagle on Oceanfront Property and Takings
Josh Eagle (South Carolina) has posted Taking the Oceanfront Lot (Indiana Law Journal) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Oceanfront landowners and states share a property boundary that runs between the wet and dry parts of the shore. This legal coastline is different from an ordinary land boundary. First, on sandy beaches, the line is constantly in flux, and it cannot be marked except momentarily. Without the help of a surveyor and a court, neither the landowner nor a citizen walking down the beach has the ability to know exactly where the line lies. This uncertainty means that, as a practical matter, ownership of some part of the beach is effectively shared. Second, the common law establishes that the owner of each oceanfront lot holds easement-like interests in adjacent state-owned land; and, the state holds similar interests in the oceanfront lot. For these two reasons, the legal relationship between the oceanfront owner and the state is more interdependent than it may seem at first. It is much more than the usual neighbor relationship.
Disputes over oceanfront property are often framed as cases of wrongful taking under the Fifth Amendment's Just Compensation Clause. The Supreme Court has historically applied its standard takings test for determining whether or not a state is liable for the impact of its rules on a landowner's rights. This Article is the first to examine the question of whether use of this standard test is optimal, or even logical, in cases between states and the owners of oceanfront land. Given the fact that climate change impacts such as sea-level rise are likely to increase rates of conflict along the legal coastline, the potential benefits of a test that takes into account the special relationship between these parties are significant. Support for an alternative test can be found in two sets of common law property rules, the upland rights and public trust doctrines, as well as in a mechanism that nineteenth-century courts used to resolve similar disputes.

Eagle on the Socioeconomics of Affordable Housing
Steven J. Eagle (George Mason) posted Conflation, Intractability and Affordable Housing (Fordham Urban Law Journal) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
This Article examines the varying and often-conflicting views of "affordable housing" of different social and economic groups. It asserts that attempts to deal with affordable housing issues must take into account the shelter, cultural, and economic needs of those populations, and also the effects of housing decisions on economic prosperity. The article focuses on affordable housing goals such as making available an ample supply of housing in different price ranges; attracting and retaining residents who contribute to the growth and economic prosperity of cities; ensuring that neighborhood housing remains available for existing residents, while preserving their cultural values; and providing adequate housing in high-cost cities for low- and moderate-income persons and the overlapping concern for "fair housing" for families of all races and backgrounds.
Thereafter, the Article examines the benefits and detriments of various means of providing more affordable housing, including fair-share mandates, rent control, and inclusionary zoning (including whether that leads to impermissible government takings of private property). It then briefly considers the merits and demerits of federal subsidy programs.
The Article briefly considers conceptual and practical problems in implementing the Supreme Court's 2015 Inclusive Communities disparate impact holding, and HUD's 2015 regulations on "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." Finally, it discusses how the concept of "affordable housing" conflates the separate issues of high housing prices and poverty, and how housing prices might be reduced through removal of regulatory barriers to new construction.
Throughout, the Article stresses that advancing affordable housing goals have both explicit and implicit costs, and that goals often are conflicting. To those ends, it employs economic and sociological as well as legal perspectives.

Posner & Weyl on Private Property and Resource Allocation
Eric Posner (Chicago) and E. Glen Weyl (Yale/Microsoft) posted Property is Another Name for Monopoly Facilitating Efficient Bargaining with Partial Common Ownership of Spectrum, Corporations, and Land on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
The existing system of private property interferes with allocative efficiency by giving owners the power to hold out for excessive prices. We propose a remedy in the form of a tax on property, based on the value self-assessed by its owner at intervals, along with a requirement that the owner sell the property to any third party willing to pay a price equal to the self-assessed value. The tax rate would reflect a tradeoff between gains from allocative efficiency and losses to investment efficiency, and would increase in line with expected developments in information technology. The legal and economic implications of this system are explored.

Weiss on Housing Tax Credits and Residual Value
Brandon M. Weiss (UMKC) has posted Residual Value Capture in Subsidized Housing (Harvard Law & Policy Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
This Article argues that our primary federal subsidized housing production program, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), will result in the unnecessary forfeit of billions of dollars of government investment and the potential displacement of tens of thousands of households beginning in 2020 when LIHTC property use restrictions start to expire. The LIHTC example is presented as a case study of an inherent dynamic of public-private partnerships—namely, the potential capture by for-profit providers of "residual value." For purposes of this Article, this is value generated by a public-private transaction that is unnecessary to incentivize a private provider to deliver the contracted for good or service.
Drawing on corporate organizational theory, which has highlighted the role that nonprofits play in solving certain contract failures and generating positive externalities, the Article argues that, in certain contexts, partnering with nonprofit providers can be an effective approach to increasing the share of residual value that flows to public purposes. The LIHTC program is one such context, given that a nonprofit preference results in a three-sector approach whereby the federal government provides tax credits to nonprofit developers that must attract private investor equity. This framework leverages institutional strengths, including the access to capital of government, the relative fidelity to public purposes of nonprofits, and the market-based underwriting and oversight of for-profit investors.

Brown and Merriam on Takings Claims and Lucas
Carol Necole Brown (Richmond) and Dwight H. Merriam (Robinson+Cole LLP) have posted On the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Lucas: Making or Breaking the Takings Claims (Iowa Law Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract"
My review of more than 1,600 cases in state and federal court reveals only twenty-seven cases in twenty-five years in which courts found a categorical regulatory taking under Lucas. By percentage, that works out to a Lucas claim success rate of just 1.6 percent. This does not mean Lucas is unimportant, however. Rather, the paucity of successful Lucas claims itself tells a significant story about the importance of pleading takings claims. I contend that Lucas' most enduring value is not its contribution to the positive law but rather its effect on how litigants shape their cases. A crucial aspect of the Lucas categorical regulatory takings analysis has been, and will continue to be, the problem of defining the denominator in the regulatory takings equation. My research suggests that Lucas' holding incentivizes the private contractual agreements entered into by property owners to shrink the takings denominator and tilt the scales slightly in favor of the plaintiff. The ability of a property owner to reduce the denominator remains the loadstar for a Lucas case-winning strategy.
This is important for not only theorists but also for practitioners to know — those who litigate and conduct transactions in Lucas' shadow.

Davidson & Infranca on the Sharing Economy
Nestor Davidson (Fordham) & John Infranca (Suffolk) recently posted The Sharing Economy as an Urban Phenomenon (Yale Law & Policy Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Seemingly overnight, companies like Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, WeWork, Taskrabbit, Shyp, and many others have transformed transportation, accommodations, personal services, and other sectors. The evolving regulatory response to this "sharing economy" presents an intriguing puzzle. Where telephone, broadband, early Internet companies, and similar previous technologies were shaped by battles with federal regulators, the fate of sharing enterprises is playing out in front of taxi and limousine commissions, zoning boards, and city councils.
The reason for this atypical dynamic, this Article argues, is that — unlike prior technological disruptions — the sharing economy is fundamentally an urban phenomenon. The platforms that enable sharing leverage or confront conditions of density, proximity, specialization, and even anonymity that mark city life. And many sharing companies flourish through a kind of regulatory arbitrage that finds value in frictions and barriers generated by urban regulatory regimes.
A fascinating experimentalist dialectic is emerging from the resulting decentralized regulatory landscape. Local economic, political, legal, and social conditions are generating regulatory responses that range from full embrace to open hostility. And sharing enterprises are responding by adjusting their business models and reconciling in various ways to these regulatory constraints. These compromises are generating creative solutions to balancing innovation and public welfare.
The interaction between urban governance and the sharing economy, however, flows both ways. Local governments are being pushed to be more transparent about their policy interests, creating spillover effects in regulatory regimes beyond the sharing economy. And the sharing economy is transforming cities themselves. The shift from ownership to access is altering development and mobility patterns as traditional links between transportation, housing, and labor markets and the shape of metropolitan space morph.
By framing the sharing economy as an urban phenomenon, this Article sheds important new light on a rapidly emerging scholarly discourse. To date, scholars have failed to recognize the sharing economy's deep reliance on the urban fabric and its potential to mold that fabric. Understanding this relationship will also lead to better calibrated regulatory responses that reflect the sharing economy's holistic impact on cities. Equally important, it will firmly ground our understanding of the sharing economy in its urban birthplace as it matures.

DeBarbieri on Community Benefits Agreements
Edward W. De Barbieri (Brooklyn Law School) has posted Do Community Benefits Agreements Benefit Communities? (Cardozo Law Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) campaigns and public discussions about community benefits are becoming the norm in deciding how large urban projects are built outside of formal public land use approvals. CBAs have revolutionized land use approvals for large, public-private economic development projects: now developers and coalitions representing low-income communities can settle their disputes before formal project approval. As a result, CBAs are now commonplace nationwide.
Legal scholarship, however, has failed to keep up with these important developments. This Article aims to do just that by examining how CBAs, when properly negotiated, lower transaction costs, enhance civic participation, and protect taxpayers. It argues that CBAs achieve all these outcomes well, and more efficiently than existing government processes. Indeed, this Article's central argument is that to the extent that scholars have analyzed CBAs, their analyses have gone astray by either dismissing CBAs as harmful to communities or by focusing on the role of the state in negotiating what really should be a private contract between a coalition of community groups and a developer. It is a mistake to give the state's role in CBAs primacy over the community coalition because the inclusion of government in the CBA bargaining process creates a host of constitutional protections for developers — namely that the community benefits must be connected to and proportional with the instant government approval.
This Article places focus back on CBAs as private contracts enforceable by inclusive and representative community coalitions. It presents a case study of a successful CBA negotiated for the development of the Kingsbridge National Ice Center in the Bronx. This Article proposes a framework for assessing the impact of CBAs in economic development — one that recognizes the nuanced role that states and municipalities play in the formation and enforcement of CBAs. The framework focuses on the extent to which CBAs (1) lower transaction costs by effectively resolving disputes among developers and community groups, (2) increase civic participation in public processes, (3) protect taxpayers, and (4) avoid government intervention and constitutional protections for developers. This Article concludes with recommendations for the appropriate, limited role of government in CBA negotiations.

Roark gives TED Talk on Development and Human Impact
Marc Roark (Savannah) recently gave a TED Talk on his article Human Impact Statements (Washburn Law Journal). Here's the abstract from SSRN:
When a city undertakes a development project, low income and homeless persons face risks of expulsion. Public and private developers often target low-income neighborhoods and public lands because those spaces are viewed as economically more attainable or available for development. Moreover, the legal system's preference to treat disputes as individual entitlement claims tends to relegate disputes to broad questions of entitlements rather than unpacking the impacts that property changes have on the vulnerable populations. Whether by gentrification or by enhancement of city infrastructure, developer decisions disrupt what are already unstable living environments by imposing increased costs of relocation. These changes also destabilize community relationships by separating individuals and families from their support networks, local transportation options, and local employment that they have come to rely on. In short, low-income and homeless persons find themselves even more destabilized when public and private development projects force their evacuation from where they live. This article argues that though development may be necessary, it should not be undertaken without more serious evaluation of the human impacts in relation to the space. Such evaluations should include the impact on communities, employment, education, and environment for impacted persons. Importantly, failure to take notice of these impacts continues to promote cycles of poverty that plague American cities.
Drawing on similarities in the environmental context, the article argues that a NEPA-like approach to human housing can offset externalities that homeless persons and those living in low-income housing are forced to internalize through environment changes. Amongst those impacts are the imbalance between the well-funded developer and low income populations; the view that low income properties can be classified as nuisance-type properties; and the tendency to only consider the highest best use of property as the rationale for development. The article concludes by offering model legislation that could be implemented to provide a NEPA like assessment to city development.
And here's his TED Talk. Good job, Marc!

Newman on the Economics of Indigenous Property Rights
Dwight Newman (Saskatchewan) has posted The Economic Characteristics of Indigenous Property Rights: A Canadian Case Study (Nebraska Law Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Legal and economic scholars have increasingly drawn attention to the impact of property rights issues on economic prosperity for Indigenous communities around the world. In the context of a constitutional provision entrenching Indigenous rights in a state whose resource industries have an international strategic significance, Canadian courts have been and are currently engaged in a process of creatively developing the parameters of various Indigenous rights, including Indigenous property rights. This Article will argue that in doing so, they have developed certain characteristics on those property rights that seemingly undermine Indigenous communities' own opportunities to make economically beneficial choices concerning uses of their own lands for resource development. The Article will ultimately suggest that this case study raises concerns about the idea of courts focused on public law considerations being positioned so as to develop the private law characteristics of Indigenous property rights. To do so, focusing first on the Supreme Court of Canada's landmark Aboriginal title decision in the Tsilhqot'in case, Part II of this Article engages first in the complex legal doctrinal task of trying to unpack certain aspects of just what the Court actually said on Aboriginal title and its parameters. Part III builds upon that description of the nature of the Aboriginal title property right and related writing by economic scholars to consider the economic implications of characteristics of that property right, which exhibits — relative to what would have been possible with different drafting of the judicial rules — uncertainties of scope and incentivization of attempts to create further uncertainty, simultaneous imposition of roles to multiple decision-makers on uses of the property and of surprisingly fragmented ownership characteristics, and significant restrictions on alienability of property rights. These characteristics may lead to significant economic consequences both in the context of Indigenous communities contracting with outsiders (such as with resource development proponents) and in the context of members' own use of the land. The latter parts of Part III try to show the practical consequences for specific resource developments that might be considered by Indigenous communities, such as in the context of a mining development. Part IV, engaging with broader law and economics scholarship on the efficiency of common law adjudication processes, tries to offer some explanations of why the courts are developing these rights in ways that have these economic characteristics, in part by showing how the context in which they are operating is distinct from traditional common law contexts in which scholars have shown why courts have developed legal doctrines that fit more closely with economic efficiency. Part V tries to offer some policy responses that could help to promote the development of more economically functional property rights for Canadian Indigenous communities. Although the particular discussion is situated within Canadian legal doctrine, it will also conclude by referencing broader implications, both for American resource investors and for analogous contexts elsewhere in the world, including for the possibility that courts are not best situated to develop the shape of Indigenous property rights when their adjudicative processes are structured in certain ways.

Reiss on Housing and Sustainability
David Reiss (Brooklyn) has posted Ensuring that Homeownership is Sustainable (Westlaw Journal of Bank and Lender Liability) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
This short article argues that the Federal Housing Administration has suffered as a result of many of the same unrealistic underwriting assumptions that led to problems for many lenders during the 2000s. It, too, was harmed by a housing market as bad as any since the Great Depression. As a result, the federal government announced in 2013 that the FHA would require the first bailout in the agency's history. While facing financial challenges, the FHA has also come under attack for the poor execution of policies designed to expand homeownership opportunities.
Leading commentators have called for the federal government to stop having the FHA do anything but provide liquidity to the low end of the mortgage market. These critics rely on a few examples of agency programs that were clearly failures, but they do not address the FHA's long history of undertaking comparable initiatives. In fact, the FHA has a history of successfully undertaking new homeownership programs. However, it also has operational flaws that should be addressed before it undertakes similar future homeownership initiatives.

Cupp on Animal Rights and Property Law
Richard Cupp (Pepperdine) has posted Animals as More Than "Mere Things," but Still Property: A Call for Continuing Evolution of the Animal Welfare Paradigm (University of Cincinnati Law Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Survival of the animal welfare paradigm (as contrasted with a rights-based paradigm creating legal standing for at least some animals) depends on keeping pace with appropriate societal evolution favoring stronger protections for animals. Although evolution of animal welfare protection will take many forms, this Article specifically addresses models for evolving conceptualizations of animals' property status within the context of animal welfare. For example, in 2015 France amended its Civil Code to change its description of companion animals and some other animals from movable property to "living beings gifted with sensitivity," while maintaining their status as property. This Article will evaluate various possible approaches courts and legislatures might adopt to highlight the distinctiveness of animals' property status as compared to inanimate property. Although risks are inherent, finding thoughtful ways to improve or elaborate on some of our courts' and legislatures' animals-as-property characterizations may encourage more appropriate protections where needed under the welfare paradigm, and may help blunt arguments that animals are "mere things" under the welfare paradigm. Animals capable of pain or distress are significantly different than ordinary personal property, and more vigorously emphasizing their distinctiveness as a subset of personal property would further both animal welfare and human interests.

Fitzpatrick on Overlapping Property Regimes
Daniel Fitzpatrick (Australian National University) has posted Fragmented Property Systems (University of Pennsylvania Journal of International Law) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
This article considers fragmented property systems – the phenomenon of contested, separated or overlapping sub-systems within a national property jurisdiction. One example is circumstances of property despite law. Globally, as many as a billion people claim de facto property without recognition by law in urban informal settlements and agro-pastoral or forested areas. Another example is property without transition to law. Many households in the developing world regulate land markets through local mechanisms notwithstanding opportunities or requirements to use law. The article provides a conceptual frame for the emergence of property system fragmentation based on the private coordination of property relations. The article argues that fragmentation emerges in complex property systems where law attempts to displace property coordination mechanisms, but fails to induce a critical mass of property participants to alter coordination strategies. A focus on coordination provides a means to combine the methodological individualism of economic narratives with collective variables highlighted by other perspectives on property such as anthropology and complex systems theory.

Wen on Chinese Land Sales and American Property Law
Wei Wen (University of New England) has posted How American Common Law Doctrines May Inform Mainland China to Achieve Certainty in Land Sale Contracts (Asian-Pacific Law & Policy) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
This paper explores one of the most significant problems confronting Mainland China in relation to contract and property law today, which is, whether or not written form is mandatory for land sale contracts. In practice, Chinese courts have delivered contradictory cases in relation to contractual form. Some courts regard the written form as being mandatory and therefore no contractual remedies are available to enforce oral land sale contracts. In contrast, other courts hold the opposite view that oral contracts may still have some degree of contractual effect. This results in uncertainty throughout Mainland China, which may cause injustice and unfairness to claimants and may undermine the authority of the law and the courts. This paper argues that the solution to the problem is to propose a legal reform initiative to articulate that written form is mandatory for land sale contracts. This initiative will end the contradictory cases and ensure claimants are treated equally at law in this particular matter.
In order to support and underpin the legal reform initiative, this paper utilizes American doctrines to enrich the Chinese literature and draws on the American experience (particularly Professor Lon Fuller's and Professor Karl Llewellyn's analysis) in establishing that written form is desirable for land sale contracts in Mainland China. This is through a comparative law approach known as functionalism that examines the similarities and differences of the compared jurisdictions.

Odinet on the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Mortgage Contract
Chris Odinet (Southern) has posted The Unfinished Business of Dodd-Frank: Reforming the Mortgage Contract (SMU Law Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
The standard residential mortgage contract is due for a reappraisal. The goals of Dodd-Frank and the CFPB are geared toward creating better stability in the residential mortgage market, in part, by mandating more robust underwriting. This is achieved chiefly through the ability-to-repay rules and the "qualified mortgage" safe harbor, which call for very conservative underwriting criteria to be applied to new mortgage loans. And lenders are whole-heartedly embracing these criteria in their loan originations — in the fourth quarter of 2015 over 98% of all new residential loans were qualified mortgages, thus resulting in a new wave of credit-worthy homeowners that are less likely than ever before to default. As a result of this and other factors, the standard form residential mortgage contract, with its harsh terms and overreaching provisions, should be reformed. This is necessary not only due to the fact that such terms should no longer be needed since borrowers are better financially positioned than in the past, but also because of a disturbing trend in the past few years where lenders and their third party contractors have abused the powers accorded to them by the mortgage contract — mostly through break-in style foreclosures. This Article argues for a reformation of the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac standard residential mortgage contract and specifically singles out three common provisions that are ripe for modification or outright removal.

October Professor's Corner Webinar: Common Interest Communities
It's that time again, this month's Professors' Corner Webinar. A FREE monthly webinar which features a panel of law professors, discussing recent cases or issues of interest to real estate or trust and estate practitioners and scholars. Sponsored by the Legal Education and Uniform Laws Group of the ABA Real Property, Trust and Estate Law Section
Wednesday, October 9, 2013
12:30pm Eastern/11:30 am Central
This month's topic: Current Issues in Common Interest Communities
Register at http://ambar.org/professorscorner
Our October program, "Current Issues in Common Interest Communities," features three outstanding scholars and three timely topics in the field of common interest development.
Paula Franzese is the Peter W. Rodino Professor of Law at Seton Hall University School of Law in Newark, NJ. Prof. Franzese will explore the uneasy intersection of takings law and shorefront redevelopment in the context of the New Jersey Supreme Court's recent decision in Borough of Harvey Cedars v. Karan. In this case, a New Jersey shorefront town used its takings powers to condemn part of a family's oceanfront property to build an enhanced 22-foot-high dune to protect against the sorts of calamities wrought by Superstorm Sandy. Although the dune provides protection against future storm damage, it partially blocks the home's beach and ocean views. A jury's award of $375,000 for reduction in view and value was reversed by the New Jersey Supreme Court, which held that the jury must assess not only the diminution in value suffered by the affected property owner but also the benefit conferred. To the extent that oceanfront owners reap the benefits, at taxpayers' expense, of the dunes' protection, how should that benefit be quantified appropriately to accommodate the loss of owners' investment-backed expectations?
Shelby Green is an Associate Professor of Law at Pace Law School in White Plains, NY. Prof. Green will discuss the appropriate role of alternative dispute resolution within a common interest community. Disputes within CICs are inevitable, but their amicable and efficient resolution is not. Prof. Green will discuss two California cases, Chapala Management Corporation v. Stanton, 186 Cal. App. 4th 1532 (2010) and Grossman v. Park Fort Washington Ass'n, 212 Cal. App. 4th 1128 (2012), and how the cases demonstrate that two formal mechanisms—(1) the deferential standard of review (the business judgment rule) over decisions by managing boards and (2) the potential award of attorneys' fees to the prevailing party—fail in their aim to channel disputes away from courts. Prof. Green will also discuss whether current reform proposals, such as statutory ombudsman programs and ADR requirements as a prerequisite to suit, can readily facilitate the need for more amicable and efficient dispute resolution within CICs.
Andrea Boyack is an Associate Professor of Law at Washburn University School of Law in Topeka, KS. Prof. Boyack will discuss the extent to which the law should enforce transfer restrictions in common interest declarations. The law has traditionally enforced such transfer restrictions despite their impact on alienability, viewing such restrictions as appropriate means to address or control maintenance of property within the community and behavior of the community residents. Prof. Boyack will argue that these concerns are better directly controlled through community use regulations and that courts should invalidate covenant restrictions that unjustifiably constrain the right to transfer, particularly when the community's legitimate objectives could be accomplished through less intrusive means.

September's Program: "Implications of Same-Sex Marriage for Real Estate and Trust/Estates Practitioners"
Either by court decree, legislative action, or referendum, same-sex marriage is now legally sanctioned in 13 states and the District of Columbia. Thirty percent of American citizens now live in same-sex marriage jurisdictions. Demographic trends suggest these numbers will likely increase in the years ahead.
The availability (or unavailability) of same-sex marriage presents challenges for lawyers handling real estate transactions and estate and tax planning for same-sex couples. September's Professors' Corner webinar features two outstanding and highly-regarded experts to address these challenges.
Professor Patricia Cain, Santa Clara University School of Law. Professor Cain is a national expert in federal tax law and sexuality and the law. She previously taught for 17 years at the University of Texas and for 16 years at the University of Iowa, where she held the Aliber Family Chair in Law and also served as Interim Provost and later Vice Provost. She has taught at Santa Clara since 2007. Her area of specialization is taxation and estate planning for same-sex couples. She is a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, and is a frequent lecturer on tax and estate planning for same-sex couples at state and national CLE programs.
Tamara E. Kolz Griffin, Associate Director of the Estate Planning Clinic, Harvard Law School Legal Services Center. Griffin received her law degree from Harvard and a LL.M. in Taxation from Boston University. At Harvard, she teaches a seminar on estate planning and supervises clinical students in the areas of estate planning, permanency planning and probate matters. She was previously a partner in the Private Wealth Services Section of the Boston office of Holland & Knight, LLP, and still maintains a private practice serving clients with estate planning needs. She is a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, and has given numerous presentations to national, state and local groups on matters related to same-sex estate planning.

Dr. Panadda Larpkern College of Bodhivijjalaya, Srinakharinwirot University
Bamboos are perennial grasses in the family Poaceae, sub-family Bambusoideae. They are the fastest growing plants in the world and well known as "pioneer species". There are approximately 87 genera and about 1,500 species of bamboo worldwide (Zhou et al. 2005). Bamboos are widely distributed in tropical, subtropical and temperate forest ecosystems, especially found in Asia and South America (Söderström and Calderon 1979; Li and Kobayashi 2004; Zhou et al. 2005). Bamboos spread by underground rhizomes, and culms (stalks) arise from the rhizomes to form the aerial parts. The culms sprout branches from nodes, and leaves grow from branches. The flowering habits of bamboo are not well understood. Some bamboos flower annually or within short intervals, while some flower simultaneously after long intervals of several decades (Söderström and Calderon 1979). Rhizomes are an important structure used in bamboo taxonomy. There are two basic types of bamboos, according to the rhizome systems: monopodial (running); and sympodial (clumping) types. Tropical bamboos are mostly of the clumping type, while temperate bamboos are the running type (Söderström and Calderon 1979). Bamboos are very important for the culture and economy in Asia. In Thailand, there are 13 genera and 60 species of bamboos recorded (Pattanavibool 2000). They are used for basic living, including food, household construction, basket making, musical instruments, medicine, firewood and furniture. Although, bamboos have great benefits for people, they may threaten other plant species in forest communities. Bamboos are important components of many forest types in Asia (Bystriakova et al. 2003; Zhou et al. 2005), and they have been increasing in their cover in disturbed forests (Garner et al 2000; Forest Restoration Research Unit 2006). Disturbances, both natural and anthropogenic, have been related to a shift in bamboo dominance (Söderström and Calderon 1979; Griscom and Ashton 2003). Recently, Franklin et al. (2010) suggested that bamboos may not be facilitated by disturbances, but instead they can persist and be resilient to disturbances 1
like other clonal plants. Although, mechanisms in which bamboos become dominant need to be investigated, the influence of bamboos on tree seedlings has been emphasized (Marod et al. 1999; Tabarelli and Mantovani 2000; Griscom and Ashton 2003; Guilherme et al. 2004). As bamboos become dominant in the intermediate layer of the forests, they may modify microenvironmental conditions through their deep shade and litter. George and Bazzaz (1999) suggested in their work that the understory stratum (i.e. fern) is an important ecological filter in forests through its modification of micro-environmental variables, temperature, soil moisture, and also through its litter distribution. The effects of bamboos (Bambusa tulda and Cephalostachyum pergracile) and their litter on the overall woody seedling abundance, species richness and diversity in a mixed deciduous forest in northeastern Thailand were examined (Larpkern et al. 2011). The results from the experiment clearly showed that bamboos suppress regeneration of woody seedlings through their deep shade and litter on the forest floor. Seedling abundance and species richness were reduced by bamboo canopies, and removal of bamboo litter increased seedling abundance and species diversity. Increased human disturbance, causing a shift in dominance structure of mixed deciduous forests from mixed tree species to bamboo dominance, may result in a concomitant reduction in their overall woody species abundance, richness and diversity. Thus, management of bamboos by controlling their distribution in areas of high bamboo density can be an important forest restoration method. Therefore, bamboos should be incorporated in management strategies when the aim is to maintain woody species richness and diversity in these forest ecosystems. If bamboos cover the forest floor at high densities, it may be necessary to actively control these species for successful tree establishment.

The sweetest gift Lyrics by Sade
The sweetest gift by Sade
Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected
She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning
And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle
That keeps us from falling
She promised all the sweetest gifts
That only the heaven's could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning
And as you so gracefully give
Her light as long as you live
I'll always remember this moment

Few passing London tourists would ever guess that the premises of Bulgari, the upmarket jewellers in New Bond Street, had anything to do with the pope. Nor indeed the nearby headquarters of the wealthy investment bank Altium Capital, on the corner of St James's Square and Pall Mall.
But these office blocks in one of London's most expensive districts are part of a surprising secret commercial property empire owned by the Vatican.

Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 TOXIC 4GB Video Card
Batman Arkham Asylum
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.1
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.batmanarkhamasylum.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.batmanarkhamasylum.com/
Batman: Arkham Asylum exposes players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure that takes them to the depths of Arkham Asylum - Gotham's psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. Gamers will move in the shadows, instigate fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City's most notorious villains who have taken over the asylum.
Using a wide range of Batman's gadgets and abilities, players will become the invisible predator and attempt to foil The Joker's demented scheme.
Batman: Arkham Asylum features an original story penned exclusively for the game by famous Batman author and five-time Emmy award winner Paul Dini, whose credits include Lost season one and Batman: The Animated Series.
Note: With support for PhysX NVIDIA based cards will be tested with the technology on and off, ATI cards will be tested with the technology off due to it not being supported on their cards.
We understand that the GTX 480 is a good chunk of change cheaper than the HD 5970, but the numbers we're seeing from this model are just off the chart. Not literally, although I could make them show as being off the chart. But honestly, compared to the GTX 480 the HD 5970 TOXIC is at times 50% faster.

Loved this hike, beautiful along the entire trail. Great for pictures. Another no cost and fun adventure.
First of all, this is a great place to take people who enjoy the outdoors with waterfalls, a river, and a nice hike that's less than 3 miles! Second of all, it was a bit tougher to do this time because of the many rocks on the path as we were doing the return hike on the opposite side of...
Visited both these falls. The trails are well maintaine. For the most part seen a short distance from the highway. Watch carefully for the signage as it it easy to pass these waterfalls!
Plenty of hiking trails, free, and astonishing views of these waterfalls!! Water is crystal clear and trails are well paved and easy to navigate. This is just south of Sisters, and a great day activity, with plenty of pictures to be had and outdoor adventure! Stairs in some areas, hiking trails are easy to moderate, but well worth exploring!
This is a beautiful hike with access to amazing waterfalls and pools. As it is so popular, I was only disappointed at seeing litter and many people disregarding the closed areas to walk off trails to get closer to the falls, including a group of young adults who tracked down a slope despite the posted signs to restrict access. This...
This is a nice place to stop and see the waterfalls that are easily accessible and within a short walking distance from the parking lot.
Difficult to photograph due to south-facing falls, but definitely worth the extra effort (bring an ND filter on sunny days.) Not a difficult hike and well worth it. I've been to both waterfalls before, but I always visit when I'm in the area. Parking can be a little tight at both waterfalls.
Good hike along river in bushland wandering up to see 3 waterfalls- not too steep n track quite good
The falls are about a quarter mile apart on easy trail. The upper Sahalie Falls parking lot was full so we went down to the lower Koosah Falls and found easy parking. Both falls were wonderful. If you can, continue upriver and take the 3 mile loop trail. There's a footbridge that takes you to the other side (McKenzie Trail)....
You must do this hike! If you are not a very good walker, at least go to both waterfalls which are accessible from the parking lots. The lower falls is a short hike steep downhill (but a great path and then of course you need to go uphill) and the upper falls is a shorter hike with only a short...
I think the address on this profile is wrong it leads to an equestrian faculty and it shows no water in the map. Can someone update the address?
Can anyone tell me if the Sahalie Falls on the McKenzie River Trail is different than the Sahalie Falls at Mt Hood?

Greig stood by Sri Lanka, says Ranatunga
Colombo: Remembering Tony Greig, who passed away after losing his battle with lung cancer, Sri Lanka`s World Cup winning skipper Arjuna Ranatunga said that former England captain and celebrated commentator stood by Sri Lanka when most others did not.
Referring to the controversy over Muttiah Muralitharan`s no ball in Australia in 1995 and 1999, Ranatunga said, "He was very forthright in his support over Murali incident."
Ranatunga said Greig, who breathed his last at a hospital in Sydney after being brought in a critical condition, was a great admirer of the island nation.
"Not only was he a great admirer of Sri Lanka cricket, he also loved our country," Ranatunga said, adding cricket world would be poorer without Greig,
Greig`s affinity with Sri Lanka dates back to 1973 when he toured the island as a member of the Tony Lewis` England team. He next visited Sri Lanka as England captain in 1977 after beating India 3-1 in the Test series of 1976-77.
The former England captain was made a brand ambassador of Sri Lanka tourism at the end of the conflict with the LTTE.
Ranatunga said that Greig was the first to predict that Sri Lanka would win the World Cup under his leadership in 1996.
The former Lanka skipper, currently an opposition legislator, said that Greig was very frank in his views on the Indian Premier League.
"He (Greig) highlighted the negative aspects of the IPL on international cricket," Ranatunga said.

Curse of the Oscars strikes again: Sandra Bullock's husband is accused of affair with tattooed lady
- Oscar winner moves out of marital home and pulls out of UK premiere
- Tattoo model has even more ink that Jesse James' porn star ex-wife
Days after Kate Winslet announced her marriage was over, the Curse of the Academy Award winners appears to have claimed another victim.
Sandra Bullock has cancelled the British premiere of The Blind Side, for which she won this year's best actress Oscar, amid claims that her husband had an affair with a model whose body is almost entirely covered in tattoos.
In a gushing speech which recalled Miss Winslet's tribute to Sam Mendes when she took the same award last year, 45-year-old Miss Bullock thanked motorbike enthusiast Jesse James for his support.
Worst supporting husband? Jesse James with wife Sandra Bullock at the Oscars
His eyes welled with tears as she spoke of her love for him. Yet according to a U.S. publication yesterday, he repaid her trust by having an 11-month relationship with Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee.
The tattooed lady is even more heavily decorated with ink than James' porn star turned director ex-wife, Janine Lindermulder.
She told In Touch magazine that she called 40-year-old James her 'Vanilla Gorilla' and gave salacious details of their time together.
Miss Bullock had been due to attend the first London screening of The Blind Side on Tuesday with her co-star, newcomer Quinton Aaron.
Affair: Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee claims she had an affair with James
But in a terse statement, Warner Brothers yesterday announced that
the event and its accompanying parties were off because 'unforeseen
circumstances' had arisen which meant Miss Bullock was 'no longer
available to travel'.
Miss Bullock is understood to have moved out of the marital home on Monday just days before the claims emerged, according to America's People magazine.
The actress had a string of unsuccessful
relationships before meeting James, a former bodyguard to heavy metal
groups, when she took her young godson to the set of his now-axed TV
show Monster Garage.
Cover girl: Michelle works as a model
She became his third wife almost five years ago.
Brunette Miss McGee claims she made email contact with James in April 2009 when she was looking for a modelling job with his company, West Coast Choppers. A week later, they met and had sex on his Los Angeles office couch 'two or three times'.
The model, who is in her 20s, said she thought his marriage was over when the fling started.
The magazine printed lewd texts from James to Miss McGee, in which he called her 'babe' and praised her 'beautiful eyes'.
In one, from as recently as Sunday, he wrote: 'Was just think'n' bout u this morning.'
She said: 'I'm a little more edgy than Sandra, obviously. I like motorcycles and I think we maybe had a lot more in common than she did with him. I think he was lonely.'
Miss McGee said she met and 'bonded with' James's five-year-old daughter Sunny, by his ex, Lindermulder.
Model: McGee, left, claims she thought the marriage was over when the alleged affair started
She claimed that the pair even watched Miss Bullock's appearance at
the MTV Awards last May while in bed together. 'In my mind, the reason
he wasn't there was because they were separated.'
they always met in secret at James's office, Miss McGee said she did
not realise he was still married until they ran into mutual friends at
a tattoo convention in Long Beach last June. 'It was awkward, he knew
he was caught.'
It is not clear if or when Miss Bullock was told of her husband's cheating.
But at the SAG Awards in January, she said: 'To my husband Jesse, who works so hard all day.
Kiss and tell: She gave salacious details of their time together in an interview with an American tabloid magazine
you get dressed up in monkey suits and you sit at tables with people
you don't know and I leave you there and then you come back with, like,
Morgan Freeman's email.
'I don't know how you do it. I love you so much and you're really hot and I want you so much.'
At the Golden Globes, she said: 'To my husband - there's no surprise that my work got better when I met you, so thank you.'
And finally, at the Oscars, she thanked her late mother Helga for sending her James.
A spokesman for the actress refused to discuss the magazine allegations yesterday.
Jesse James was unavailable for comment.
