| Dallas, I love you, but I've found Austin
On one side of the fight are the city's biggest power brokers—including oilman Ray Hunt, real estate magnate Harlan Crow and Dallas Morning News publisher Robert Decherd. This group—toll-road supporters from the beginning—have lined up almost every single officeholder from City Hall to the Congress on their side. And yet, for all their wealth and power, they have been stymied by a coalition of environmentalists, fiscal conservatives and urban activists who want to get the toll road out of the planned river park downtown. Their de facto leader is a young, relatively inexperienced councilwoman named Angela Hunt. Somehow, this group has turned the tide in the city, gathering 91,000 signatures in just 60 days to call for the coming referendum vote, a remarkable display of the power of civic engagement.

As some of you already know, I am an Ohio State Buckeye fan who resides in the Heart of Texas among some of the most die hard and passionate fans in this country...Texas Longhorn fans! The College football fan base in general is the most interesting group of sports fans to observe. In my opinion they are more colorful and crazed than any Professional Football, Baseball, Basketball, or Hockey fan base and the Texas Longhorn fan is indeed an interesting breed. The University of Texas is located in the great city of Austin. One of the coolest cities in the United States. Known for it's hospitable atmosphere and great night life. It has been called the "Live Music Capitol of the World" and I've have found that to be true. But on Saturdays in the fall it's all about the Longhorns. These fans truly bleed burnt orange.
Chicago-Based Treatment Center Participates In National Eating ...
In the United States, as many as 10 million females and 1 million males are fighting a life and death battle with anorexia or bulimia and another 25 million with binge eating disorder, according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA). As these numbers have continued to rise, so does the need to raise awareness. National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (NEDAW), Feb. 24 to March 1, is held annually to turn the nation's attention to these life-threatening diseases.
Working with NEDA and fellow official coordinators nationwide, Chicago-based Timberline Knolls, a leading residential treatment center, will encourage throwing out skinny jeans in favor of comfortable ones. For the "Embrace Your Genes" drive, Timberline Knolls will collect jeans at the admissions desk in the main building, located at 40 Timberline Drive in Lemont through Feb.
Advanced Life Sciences Announces Successful Thorough QT Study Of ...
Advanced Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADLS), announced positive results from Trial CL07-001, a thorough QT study of the Company's novel once-a-day oral antibiotic, cethromycin. This study was conducted to evaluate the cardiac safety of cethromycin and to enhance the safety database for the Company's upcoming New Drug Application (NDA) submission for cethromycin to treat community acquired pneumonia (CAP). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires thorough QT studies for all new chemical entities because prolongation in QT interval (corrected for changes in heart rate, or QTc) may signify an increased risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias.
Trial CL07-001 evaluated the potential of cethromycin to cause a prolongation in electrocardiographic QT interval in accordance with FDA and ICH E14 guidance.

However, the 6-foot-1, 219-pound junior safety has often been confined to the sidelines due to injuries or being behind Josh Barrett on the depth chart. With Barrett sidelined with a sore knee, Cox finally got an extended chance. And, sure enough, he has made an impact. Cox had nine tackles after replacing Barrett against Southern California on Thanksgiving, then in the first start of his career had an interception against Arizona. These past two weeks have been really enjoyable, Cox said. Im making plays and helping out the defense. The coaches have put me in a good position to make plays. Cox has dealt with knee, back and shoulder injuries as a collegian, and he was awarded a medical redshirt after missing 10 games in 2005. Ive been waiting, but Ive had a never-give-up attitude, Cox said.
Valentine's Day 'petaways'
Valentine's Day is coming up, but it's not too late plan that romantic getaway you've been dreaming about—and there's no reason why Fido and Fluffy can't come along too. John Clifford of International Travel Management in San Diego, Calif., suggests checking out pet packages offered by some of the country's leading pet-friendly hotel chains if you don't have time to research a romantic hideaway in close proximity to where you live. “Chains such as Kimpton Hotels or W Hotels", specialize in a boutique hotel concept designed to pamper and cater to your every whim, and are renowned for their pet-friendly attitude. Often their pet packages are surprisingly affordable," says Clifford. .
