Science That Proves Elmiron Causes Vision Loss
NewBlog
Published in NewBlog
If you've been taking Elmiron, also known as Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium, there's troubling news you need to be aware of. A medical journal article published in JAMA Ophthalmology found in a recent study that there was a link between the drug and vision loss. Long-term use of Elmiron led to patients contracting a vision-threatening macular disease. If you've suffered from vision loss symptoms, you may need to consider retaining Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff. Here are important things you need to know about vision loss caused by Elmiron.
Methods of the Elmiron Study
The study conducted had received approval by each of the participating institution's institutional review board. It was conducted at Emory University. The collection of the data was performed systematically and with consistency for each patient across institutions. The goal was to perform a transparent and complete data analysis. The article notes that the study was a retrospective medical review, and a subset of patients agreed to participate in a prospective study that evaluated the long term effects of Elmiron.
Additionally, health records were queried for patients who'd been diagnosed with Elmiron associated maculopathy, and those records were filtered to only include patients who had discontinued taking the medication. The JAMA Ophthalmology article also states that there were patients with at least six months of follow up after discontinuation of Elmiron in the study as well. All the medical records were analyzed for visual symptoms, visual acuity, demographic information, duration of treatment, the reason for discontinuation of Elmiron, and follow-up interval after discontinuation.
The extensiveness of how this study was conducted will potentially be strong evidence for lawyers, such as Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff when filing a lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company. Two independent expert image reviewers were brought to independently evaluate the fundus imaging to determine structural outcomes. All available imaging was assessed; they were assessed for changes between the baseline and follow up visits. Among the changes assessed included change in the area of disease involvement, the evolution of retinal or RPE lesions, change in the area of macular RPE atrophy, change in macular central subfield thickness, change in subfoveal choroidal thickness, cystoid macular edema, and new-onset RPE atrophy.
Results of Elmiron Study
Along with the methodology, the results of this study may also possibly be significant evidence for lawyers like Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff to use at trial. There were a total of 11 patients that met the criteria to be included in the study, and all of them were female. Five of them were observed for at least one year. The article noted the median duration of treatment was 15 years, and the median daily dose was 380 mg. All 11 of the patients had reported visual symptoms at the baseline visit. Two of the patients had first noticed visual symptoms years after discontinuing Elmiron.
Among the most common visual complaints were difficulty with reading and near vision, nyctalopia, metamorphopsia, and prolonged dark adaptation. Results like these are why lawyers like Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff are already filing lawsuits against the makers of this drug now. While the symptoms were not strongly characterized in the retrospective studies, 9 of the patients had described continued worsening of symptoms or development of new symptoms in at least one of their eyes. Only two patients had reported any stability of their symptoms at the final visit. The article in the journal also notes there were no patients that reported any symptomatic improvement after stopping Elmiron. It's important to seek medical professionals' evaluation if you have experienced any symptoms similar to these results. You may also consider contacting Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff to see if there's a potential case in your circumstance.
Structural Outcomes
All of the patients' eyes demonstrated an evolution of structural abnormalities in the retina at the final visit compared with the baseline visit. Seventeen eyes exhibited an expansion of the area of retinal changes. Five eyes didn't show any apparent growth in the area of diseased tissue. All of the eyes had exhibited subtle evolution in the destruction of hyperautofluorescent and hypoautofluorescent spots. Patient 1 experienced an expansion of the area of involvement three years after stopping the drug despite having a low cumulative drug exposure. An experienced trial lawyer like Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff (who obtained a $35 million jury verdict in a transvaginal mesh case against J&J) can use these facts to make the claim that Elmiron causes vision loss and that the pharmaceutical company should be held responsible.
The article reported that over time patients with early or limited atrophy had developed coalescing patches of paracentral atrophy that approached the foveal center. The independent expert image reviewers had found through their analysis of the OCT images that there was a decline in central subfield thickness among 15 of the 17 eyes. A total of 11 of the 17 eyes had a decline in subfoveal choroidal thickness. The article also notes that patient six had reported difficulty reading ten years after stopping Elmiron. Given the length of time some patients had stopped taking Elmiron but still developed vision loss, it's possible you may still have a case that Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff could help with despite how long your symptoms took to develop.
Discussion of Elmrion Results
The article in the medical journal concludes that the retrospective findings suggest that eyes with Elmiron associated maculopathy have continued evolution of RPE and retinal changes even after stopping the drug. As noted earlier, no patient in the series had a demonstrable improvement in their macular disease despite discontinuing Elmiron. It's more reason why Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff is pursuing cases against the drug makers.
Eyes with RPE atrophy also developed a further enlargement of atrophy, even threatening the foveal center years after having stopped the drug. The patients were observed for a minimum of 6 months after quitting Elmiron. Two of the patients had baseline visits years after drug cessation, which the article researchers suggest demonstrates that the disease's evolution can occur both in the near term and long term. Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff can use all of this information when pursuing a lawsuit against the pharmaceutical companies.
In addition, the researchers noted that five individuals observed for at least a year exhibited an evolution of structural alterations in the retina. Improvement of visual functioning was never exhibited in any of the patients. All patients expressed an ongoing worsening of visual symptoms at the final visit. The article notes that the finding of disease progression after stopping the drug is not without precedent. Other medication-related retinopathies, such as toxic effects from hydroxychloroquine, progressed after quitting the drug. As it relates to Elmiron-associated maculopathy, where the disease's underlying mechanism remains unclear, it's uncertain what the cause of ongoing progression is.
Researchers believe that it is possible there is a toxic compound that persists within the diseased tissue after stopping Elmiron. Alternatively, researchers think it is possible affected eyes might be initiated on a trajectory of progressive degeneration that might be difficult to halt, regardless of the ongoing exposure to the drug. In either case, the likelihood of vision loss appears probable for patients who've taken the drug over a period of time. Pursuing a lawsuit with Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff could give patients compensation for the financial and emotional damages that will result from vision loss.
Limitations of the Elmiron study.
Researchers who put together the article in JAMA Ophthalmology concede that there are limitations to the study they conducted. The study is a small sample size of 11 patients. The follow-up intervals were not standardized. Follow-up duration was limited, given that the condition was only recently described. The nature of the investigation being retrospective introduces many different forms of bias. Among those forms of bias include information bias, selection bias, and ascertainment bias. The study at tertiary referral centers might have enriched the sample with relatively severe cases of Elmiron-associated maculopathy.
The article points out that another notable weakness of the study was the paucity of visual function testing available. The primary measure of visual function that was available across multiple visits was visual acuity. Standardized testing of protocol for best-corrected visual acuity had not been used. Lastly, the OCT-based metrics had not been corrected for axial length, but the researchers point out that none of the patients had a high refractive error. With awareness of this knowledge, experienced lawyers like Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff will likely anticipate these counterpoints that pharmaceutical companies may use to defend against a lawsuit. Nonetheless, patients concerned about the possible damage these limitations can have on a potential case can discuss these concerns with Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff in a consultation.
Elmiron study conclusion
Researchers conclude that the data in the studies suggests that Elmiron-associated maculopathy does continue to evolve after patients stop taking the drug. They also conclude in some cases, RPE atrophy can possibly encroach on the central forvea years after quitting the drug. The article notes they believe it's possible that after years of longer-term follow-up, the progression noted in this series could lead to more significant changes of vision. Researchers believe the small retrospective series highlights the need for a longer prospective study on Elmiron-associated maculopathy to fully assess the condition's visual impact.
Nonetheless, researchers see much of the evidence from the study suggests Elmiron causes vision loss. It's why lawyers like Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff are taking these cases because they believe negligence by the pharmaceutical companies will be proven, and patients who've suffered need compensation for it. If you believe you may have vision-related issues from taking Elmiron, contacting your doctor is the first step you should take. You should also consider contacting Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff to see if you can get compensation for the damages you've suffered. You may be uncertain whether you have a case against the pharmaceutical company. Having a consultation with an experienced lawyer like Elmiron attorney Tom Plouff can help you decide whether a lawsuit is worth pursuing.
Thomas Plouff is admitted to the state bars of Alabama, Illinois, and Indiana. In addition to his own cases he makes himself available to law firms who need an experienced trial attorney to prosecute specific serious injury cases.

Microsoft is rapidly increasing the number of large-scale web services that it operates. Services such as Windows Live Search and Windows Live Mail operate from data centers that contain tens or hundreds of thousands of computers, and it is essential that these data centers function reliably with minimal human intervention. This paper describes the first version of Autopilot, the automatic data center management infrastructure developed within Microsoft over the last few years. Autopilot is responsible for automating software provisioning and deployment; system monitoring; and carrying out repair actions to deal with faulty software and hardware. A key assumption underlying Autopilot is that the services built on it must be designed to be manageable. We also therefore outline the best practices adopted by applications that run on Autopilot.

The following are some ideas, but I didn't cut them out yet.
OMG! I love love love this idea! Thank you for sharing it.
These are super cute! And what an easy way make even the simplest parts of our classroom to be meaningful.
Was this extra credit? If so, how many points?
I got rid of extra credit, because I switched to only grading on what students' could DO in the language with a proficiency-based rubric. So the tissue box became a "homework option" that they could do.
Great idea. The first day of school for me is 8/22 which is also eid al asha (an Islamic holiday). I have to have a sub on the first day of school in order to attend the congregational prayer. This is a perfect idea for an all about me poster(me voici) activity in class that can become a tissue box homework project and an opportunity to share & speak in class the next day. Merci!
Hey Heather! Welcome! That's cute to have them make it about themselves too. Thanks for sharing that.
Wonderful solution to a recurrent problem. I love it! Thank you.
Such a cool idea!! Thank you for sharing this! I'm going to share with my department!
That is awesome. So clever and super useful. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a fun idea. I am wondering if I should have them make their boxes on "See's Candies" boxes- you know, just to get the good chocolate into my classroom. LOL. I could also see doing this on a container of those wipes for the classrooms – you know the yellow/green wet wipes for cleaning…. Brilliant.
Yes! The wipes too… I like your thinking Suzie. Maybe even an extra cultural touch for the chocolate?! While browsing at World Market, I saw all the candies from around the world.

Tampa Bay Bucs Sign Paralyzed Rutgers Football Player
In a heart-felt gesture, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed to a contract Rutgers' Eric LeGrand, who was paralyzed when he broke two vertebrae and suffered a serious spinal cord injury on Oct. 16, 2010, during a kickoff return against Army.
It was the act of new Bucs coach Greg Schiano, who was LeGrand's coach at the time of his injury.
'It came out of nowhere," LeGrand said Wednesday to the Associated Press. Schiano called it a "small gesture" that recognizes LeGrand's "character, spirit and perseverance."
"It's a symbolic gesture," LeGrand added. "They can't give me any money with the salary cap and all that kind of stuff. It's symbolic, something Coach wanted to do and I appreciate that. It just shows the man that he is."
LeGrand remains in rehab. He fought hard to be able to stand upright with the help of a metal frame.
When Chiano told his former player of his intentions, LeGrand was stunned. "I said, 'Are you serious? You want to do this?' He said: 'It's the least we could do,"' LeGrand said during a conference call from the apartment he shares with his mother in New Jersey. "I said, 'I don't even know what to say to you right now, Coach. This is amazing."'
Part of this gesture is a No. 52 Bucs jersey, Bucs helmet and contract.
"It's something I always dreamed about, go to the NFL and retire and become a sportscaster," LeGrand said. "Dreams do come true if you really believe. You do the right things in life, good things happen to you. He really just did this out of the kindness of his heart. It's really what he wanted to do. I had no idea this was going to happen."

20 Great Horror Films You Haven't Seen Part 2
By Blake Ginithan @johng5150 on October 26, 2012
Yesterday we presented part one of this two part feature on horror films that have been neglected by the average viewer. Today we bring to you our second and final installment that will include 10 films that we feel are horror films that have been overlooked, skipped over or just plain forgotten about Even though these would be our "10 through 1" we list alphabetically below Way Too Indie's 10 Great Horror Films You Haven't Seen (Part 2).
Alan Parker's horror film about a sleazy 1950's New York private detective caught up in a missing persons case is gloriously depraved at times, but never boring. Mickey Rourke plays the said private detective, a man who the more and more he searches for this missing person, the more he slowly begins to lose his mind. And his soul. Robert DeNiro plays a supporting role as a mysterious man who initially hires Rourke for the case. The final 20 minutes of the film are spellbinding. [Blake]
Ghostwatch
While people in North America may not be familiar with Ghostwatch, the film has quite the reputation in the UK. Broadcast on Halloween in 1992, Ghostwatch was presented as a TV special that would investigate a haunted house in greater London. The goal was to record physical evidence of a poltergeist on live television, except viewers didn't know that the entire program was fake and taped weeks in advance. The program was so believable in its presentation (mostly due to using real-life reporters from the network) that when ghostly apparitions did start appearing some people were legitimately fooled. There was an uproar afterwards, with thousands of phone calls from terrified viewers flooding the network and accusations of the show leading a man to commit suicide. Even if you know it's all fake, Ghostwatch is still a fun ride with plenty of eerie moments supported by the show's realistic presentation. Watch this and it's easy to understand why people were tricked twenty years ago. [C.J.]
Jessica Hausner's criminally underseen Hotel is probably unlike any horror film in existence. Despite its brief 80 minute runtime, Hotel will feel much longer with its snail-like pace. Hotel follows Irene, a new worker at a resort in the Austrian Alps. Even though the girl she's replacing vanished without a trace, none of the other workers seem to care and treat Irene with hostility. At the same time weird things begin to happen around the area, and the local legend of a witch seems to constantly linger in the background. What makes Hotel so unique and terrifying is that Hausner examines what causes fear along with the irrational nature behind what gives people the creeps. Everything that happens in Hotel can be rationally explained or brushed off, but Hausner infuses each moment with so much dread and atmosphere that a closed door or a broken speaker can create chills. The slow pacing and refusal to conform to any of the horror genre's standards made Hotel get thrown into obscurity (it hasn't been released in North America, and a DVD recently put out in the UK was done to capitalize on the success of Hausner's most recent film) but in a just world Hotel would be recognized as one of the strongest horror films to come out of this century. [C.J.]
Ti West's nostalgic trip to the 1980s is so accurate in its visuals that it wouldn't be surprising if some people were fooled into thinking it really came out 3 decades ago. Following a poor college student who desperately needs to afford rent for her new apartment, her prayers are answered when she's offered hundreds of dollars to babysit overnight at a house in the countryside outside of town. While every single thing about the homeowners (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov, both brilliantly cast) would send anyone running in the opposite direction, the money is too tempting to pass up the offer. West quietly takes his time, slowly building up an uneasy atmosphere while throwing in a few jolts along the way to make sure people know that he knows what he's doing. Once West pulls back the curtain he pulls no punches with an insane, bloody finale that shows why he's one of the best horror filmmakers working today. [C.J.]
David Lynch has made a career out of making surreal imagery aimed at shocking you. Inland Empire, his final film, is his best. A 3 hour mammoth nightmare about a woman trying to navigate a despairing Los Angeles is one shocking image after another. This film also has a slow beginning, but is very rewarding if you stick with it. Shot on low grade DV cameras giving it a very grungy look, but this choice makes Inland Empire frightening in some parts. If you've ever seen a David Lynch film you'll somewhat know what to expect, if you haven't, please don't expect a logical film, Lynch doesn't work that way. He simply means to unsettle you and he succeeds with flying colors. [Blake]
Kairo (Pulse)
Many films have been made that comment on our growing attachment to technology, but the most effective and relevant movie to tackle the subject came out back when dial-up was still the most common way to get online. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Kairo is the first horror masterpiece of the 21st century, a downright terrifying ghost story whose message about the death of real social interaction has become more relevant today than it was 11 years ago. The universe where souls go in the afterlife has reached its capacity, and with nowhere else to go the spirits start spilling out through the seemingly infinite world of the internet. The problem is that these ghosts are filled with so much despair and pain that anyone who comes into contact with one is driven to suicide or simply ceases to exist. Kurosawa's plot is as murky as the film's visuals, but the themes of loneliness and loss of real-life connections resonate throughout. And there's no way anyone can mention Kairo without bringing up how frightening it can be. Kurosawa shoots death scenes with a simplicity that makes them all the more horrific, and the hauntings are some of the scariest things ever put on film. But over a decade later, the scariest thing about Kairo is how well it predicted the future. [C.J.]
Santa Sangre
Alejandro Jodorowsky is a name most will probably not recognize unless you were to be a big follower of underground filmmaking. But thanks to films getting the DVD treatment, his films have found a wider audience. Sangre is another film in the horror genre that is a complete original. Santa Sangre is about a man who has been recently released from a mental institution after many years. We find out through flashbacks that he lived with his mother and father, who ran a circus. His father, in a fit of rage after discovering she was cheating on him with a fellow act, cuts off her arms. After being released, the young man decides to become his mother's 'arms' in her quest for bloody vengeance. Santa Sangre has a very intoxicating vibe throughout its 2 hour runtime and will leave you breathless. I guarantee that you have never seen anything like this. And probably never will. This is a must see. [Blake]
Someone once dared me to watch Session 9 with the lights off. I made it only about 45 minutes, when I had to pause the film and ran to turn them on. Brad Anderson's film about an asbestos cleaning crew tasked with cleaning out an old mental institution takes its time, but once it hits its hour mark its one fantastic scare after another. The crew has a huge task with this massive dilapidated hospital and with the pressure mounting to get the job done early members of the crew slowly start to lose their minds. The final 30 minutes is heart pounding. [Blake]
Riding on the wave of J-horror that swept across America in the early 2000s, Sion Sono made one hell of an entrance with Suicide Club. The film's opening shows 54 high school girls cheerily holding each other's hands before leaping in front of an oncoming subway train. Through the limbs and blood (there is a LOT of blood) police find a bag that contains a piece of skin from each of the 54 girls stitched together, and soon one police officer is discovering a secret cult that encourages its members to kill themselves. While Suicide Club lacks in scares, it makes up for it with plenty of laughs. The film is a pitch black comedy/satire that takes the cult of celebrity to a whole new extreme. Sono switches between genres without breaking a sweat, throwing in musical numbers and brooding suspense without losing control of what he wants to say. While Sion Sono has gone on to establish himself as one of the more prominent Japanese filmmakers working today, Suicide Club showed that Sono was definitely someone who couldn't be lumped in with the pile of J-horror imports coming out around the same time. [C.J.]
The second Dario Argento film on my list. Suspiria is not only the best film Argento has done but also one of the best horror films ever made. Argento relies heavily on atmosphere and its score to create a dreamlike state. Suspiria is about an American ballet dancer transplanted to a dance school in rural Germany that is run by a coven of witches. But forget the film's flimsy story; it's just an excuse to showcase the brilliant filmmaking on hand. The cinematography and lighting combined with rock band Goblin's score create one of the most surreal and hauntingly original pieces the genre has ever seen. Unfortunately when people talk about great horror films, no one seems to have seen this Italian masterpiece. [Blake]
You will be hard pressed to find a film this year that is better acted or better crafted than Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master. In Anderson's sixth directorial film comes

Dear Reader… (Big Story, August 04) was a good survey which, among other facts, showed how many Indians read books. Most of the people are now not in the habit of reading books or newspapers.
Dear Reader… (Big Story, August 04) was a good survey which, among other facts, showed how many Indians read books. Most of the people are now not in the habit of reading books or newspapers. This is because they prefer to watch television or browse through the Internet. Lately, there has been a surge in mobile-based applications, mainly for gaming, and this has also led to the decline of people reading books. Gone are the times when people read books during their leisure time — now they prefer to talk or chat on the phone. The quick pace of life has also led to this sorry state of affairs. The invasion of technology has also led to more people shunning books for gizmos. There is a need to inculcate the habit of reading in children. The importance of books cannot be overlooked in the development of a smarter generation.
This refers to Get a life in Kashmir (Chanakya, August 04). The people of Jammu & Kashmir prefer peace and prosperity above all. By repeatedly turning out in large numbers for elections the people of the state have sent out a clear message to the political class that they want to see change and will not bow down to the threats issued by separatists. Peace in the Valley is good news for the whole nation. The state and central governments have the responsibility to respect the sentiments of the people.
Kashmir has been and will remain an integral part of India and it is our duty to bring to light the aspirations of the youth who feel disconnected from the economic emergence of this nation. Politicians and leaders like Syed Ali Geelani, through their polarising views, act as a major impediment in integrating the state with the rest of India. However, the all-girl band 'Pragaash' and the selection of Parvez Rasool to the Indian cricket team are proof that things are changing for the better.
With regard to Manas Chakravarty's A taste for teaching (Loose Canon, August 04), it is a fact that a teacher is asked all sorts of stupid questions that have no relevance to the job he/she is to do. School teachers are asked to prepare and supervise the mid-day meal scheme in schools, instead of letting them concentrate on their job, which is to educate children. Even the Allahabad High Court had come to the rescue of the teachers and said that the teachers' job is to teach and not to supervise cooking. It is shameful that things are in such a mess.
The thoughts express by Chakarvarty on the mid-day meal scheme are hilarious. However, though it is true that teachers have to supervise the mid-day meal scheme, he has exaggerated the whole scenario. In a school where there are a few staff members, one needs to dedicate only very little time in a week towards the mid-day meal. Is spending a few minutes a week too long a time if it means that the lives of poor children can be changed?
Karan Thapar in The pun in Punjabi (Sunday Sentiments, August 04) has given a few good illustrations of how a language is twisted, particularly elaborating the use of words 'complete' and 'finish' and 'nitrates'. Every person prefers to speak a language he/she is comfortable with and with which thoughts can be expressed most fluently.

Posted byWill Brownsberger	 April 20, 2017 April 26, 2017 48 Comments on The Crossing
Every once in a while you run into a story that you can't quite believe and you just want to hear more.
I found myself seated for dinner next to Isabella Alexander — a Ph.D. anthropologist — who has spent months living in the makeshift camps of sub-Saharan African boys and young men trying to get into Europe.
Her courage, putting herself out alone in that environment, borders on recklessness. But the story she brought back deserves hearing and surely, there was no other way to get it. I share it because it so starkly illustrates the increasingly painful dilemmas that we will likely face around immigration policy over the decades to come.
Within Morocco, in northwest Africa, there are a couple of tiny Spanish enclaves — vestiges of colonialism. These little patches of Spanish territory offer a land border that Africans can cross to reach Europe. Once they are safely inside, they can apply for asylum.
Not that their odds of getting asylum are good, but the word is out in the countries further south in Africa that the opportunity exists, so thousands of desperate migrants stream north with a dream.
In fact, the enclaves are surrounded by high razor-wire fences that are heavily policed. There is no way that a single migrant can get through. So, the migrants have developed a team approach. They gather over a period of weeks in forest camps near the enclaves. They can't really set up full-fledged camps because the Moroccan police burn them regularly. But once they have a few hundred boys and young men together, they all rush the fence at the same time hoping that a few will make it over, escape the systematic beatings that await them when they hit the ground, and scramble to Europe.
While their odds of permanently making it into Europe are miniscule, the migrants are sustained by the stories (legends?) of a handful who have made the crossing and actually gotten legal status in Europe and are working and sending money home.
Although many of these migrants may have valid claims for asylum, their method of asserting those claims is beyond "illegal" — swarming the fence amounts to an assault, although an unarmed assault. But Dr. Alexander's months of living with them allows her to see them as people, to respect them, to know their stories and to understand that they have no feasible alternative methods for asserting their claims.
They flee abject poverty and war and are driven only by the dream of sharing the safety and relative prosperity that even the poorest in Europe enjoy. Through her informed eyes one knows them as kind and honorable and brave. The picture I link to above tells it all — behind the boys on the fence lie thousands of miles of hard travel, harm and hunger. Ahead of them, paradise.
As climate change continues, all the temperate countries will likely face increasing pressure to welcome people from lands that become less viable for agriculture and even habitation. It is easy for the most affluent among us to favor freer immigration, but it is much harder for those among us who are struggling economically to welcome more competition and crowding: That is one thing Donald Trump's election brought home.
Our choices on immigration policy are only going to get harder. I don't have the answers. Those policy choices must ultimately be made at the federal level. But I do believe deeply that, at the state and local level, we need to do everything we can to help integrate those who arrive among us.
Read Dr. Alexander's fuller accounts below:
The freedom to travel isn't a basic human right. It depends on where you're born.

John Powers says:
There are immigration laws in effect that are representive of the will of the people. If these rules need to be changed or adjusted, there is a process in place that allows the will of all the people to participate in the process of changing them.
Today, immigration has become nothing more then a political bully pulpit accomplishing nothing meaningful. Change will only follow when those elected simply "Do There Jobs!"
Actually, that's the thing I was pointing to, John. Most people are unhappy with our immigration policy and feel that it should change. But they disagree about the direction of change. There are different views among the people and the choices are hard.
John you said it right these right wing politicians is to mush in favor of circumventing federal laws which actually iis a violation of the oath of office,stop companies from recruiting HB1 visas claiming americans wont do the job when actually federal law protected by the constitution is not for everyone arbitration(1) equal protection (2) civil rights (3) E_verify (4) the way companies get around hiring afro americans so they hire someone with same skin color so this weaping sob story you posted means nada to me stop circumventing the laws and enforce them sto limiting the first amendment and enforc it,john i asked for aa bill to be filed to protect my fourth anendmend to keep my union fron using my info against me well that bill failed they claim because some federal issue double standard when trump said block santuary cities everyone in the statehouse was uproared bills flying but what happen to my protection is that not what the oath of office state i will serve and protect aganst any foreign entity unhold and execute the laws faithfully
On this issue I think it's helpful to ask which people's will we need be concerned with. I.e. is it the will of this state within the U.S., the national will, or a global will that's most relevant.
To our state senator I guess the will of citizens of Massachusetts has to be very important. Then what should our will be? Should we respect the will of the U.S. public as expressed by its vote for its current set of representatives, senators and president? Or should be consider that will morally illegitimate on this issue?
I believe a case can be made for the latter position because immigration acts on the international stage. As an example, Canada's recently seen a relatively large influx of asylum seekers as the U.S. appears less friendly and safe for asylum seekers. I.e. changes here cause changes there.
The best clue for what is right, IMO, is in Angela Merkel's brief chiding of Donald Trump a couple months back regarding international commitments to take refugees and asylum seekers. Without these kinds of agreements in international law or an equivalent moral position that pushes U.S. policy to act from a feeling of shared duty to place refugees and take asylum seekers, you're left with this America First law of the jungle nonsense. This is to say that the U.S. general will is a particular will on the issue of immigration and that an "international will" is the only will that's at the right resolution and is legitimate for this issue. The U.S. can be a leader here by doing its part (and more?) or it can be a leader in denying migrants and leaving them to the various humanitarian disasters they'd wish to flee. One of those is a morally legitimate position and the other is not.
If the national consensus (in as much as there is one) is not morally legitimate, it's reasonable at the level of the MA senate to make law that's in opposition to the current national will, particularly if there is local consensus that the prior is the case and the latter is desired.
Jane McHale says:
ThAnk you for sharing this story of the reality and impact of violence and political strife!!
It is so important for us to know the inhumanities that happen everyday for immigrants all over the world! Now let's work on our immigration policies!
Thank you, Will, for sharing this important story–probably the most direct and compelling account I have read about this immense problem. And thank you to Isabella Alexander, whose courage and dedication match those of the migrants themselves. The paradox is that we privileged people need to find deep reserves of generosity in ourselves to address this problem, and yet the problem seems to be pushing so many of us back into our defensive enclaves.
Phyllis Miller says:
Thank you for sharing this story. We need more open borders and open hearts to care for citizens of the world who are suffering through no fault of their own, and often because of the policies of so-called "civilized" nations.
Sue Bass says:
If you grew up, as I did, on accounts of people escaping and failing to escape Nazi Germany, it's hard to say No to people trying to escape war in Syria or Africa. Isn't it part of our national shame that in 1939 the US turned away a boatload of Jewish refugees and rejected legislation to admit Jewish children?
So right.
No, because in the late teens we started to get anarchists and revolutionaries coming into the country. After WW1, Europe was in disarray and the situation was even worse because of the Bolsheviks. To PROTECT it's citizens, The US Gov't cracked down on immigration
I'm sure the Gov't thought there might be a few terrorist on those boats mixed in with the refugees. Better to be safe than sorry.
My older cousin remembers going over to the military base in Southie and looking at all the Italian POWs behind the fence.
And ya said that to say what they dont have open doors(1) two theirs americans here still waiting for housing people hanging around the streets because companies are allowed to xome here like colledges and seeking out Hb1 visa to come here to work claiming americans are lazy which is a bold face lie the regulations and policies here are biased mass allows these c so- called non profit agencies to operate under tge guise of quot unquote civil rights organization but dont have 1 person born here that knows what the 1964 act of civil rights are then when ya go to these folks for help they say they cant because they're interpeting my civil rights of rights of people who came here illegal moral is take care of americans first put your rasisim aside that mass is embebbed with aand enforce the laws instead of doing like ann landry does try to circumvent them
JIm Miranda says:
Allowing the immigration of destitute people is a limited and short-term solution. Ideally, to effect a drastic change in the development of poor countries would require long-term infusion and management of the country. Generations would have to be externally sustained to bring about such tremendous changes. The people in affluent countries would need to have their outlook towards the under-developed people drastically changed from the 1% outlook to the Isabella Alexander mentality. And I don't believe in the Easter Bunny.
Thanks for this post Senator Brownsberger.
I made a proposal, which if implemented globally, can help to reduce the causes of the global economic migrant crisis.
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/proposal-help-solve-global-migrant-crisis-dirk-schweitzer
Please consider bringing it to the attention of other politicians.
A cause for the migration for economic reasons is the Youth Bulge.

http://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/youth-bulge-a-demographic-dividend-or-a-demographic-bomb-in-developing-countries
In other words, organizations doing development work/help need to teach the local population about family planning.
I with the desirability of helping people rebuild their own countries — it is just very hard to make that work.

Gordon Brown says:
Do you think our forefathers who came here LEGALLY and overcame many hardships were given any welfare to live here? To make a life for themselves? Learn our language? Raise legal families? BECOME AMERICANS?
Find work or start businesses to SUPPORT THEMSELVES and their families?
They were not, Senator.
I believe it was mostly Democrats who created the Welfare System which is bankrupting our country today along with the outrageous salaries you vote yourselves. And we, the American people, who you are supposed to be supporting, keep voting you in over, and over, and over.
Does the definition of insanity come to mind? Since you-all created the immigration problem, it's up to you-all to solve it.
Telling sad tales does nothing to solve this, does it?
Or does it show people in other countries what fools we are and tells them it's OK to break America's laws? Come on in. Everything is FREE HERE.
Tony Carlo says:
Respectfully, the land you call home was originally inhabited by native peoples. Except for the Native Americans, we are all immigrants and our country has traditionally welcomed them. My Italian grandparents had the same dream and were welcomed here.
I know that we can no longer open our borders to all, but that does not mean completely closing our doors or hearts to those who have a dream for a better life.
You sir need to seriously think about your own roots and be thankful that someone showed compassion and allowed your ancestors to also come here.
Eric Anthony says:
Tony, You fail to address several cogent points Gordon has made: he is talking about the importance of citizenship in this country. I am going to guess your grandparents came here legally to become responsible citizens. No one objects to that; but if you set up the straw man of being against all immigration (to make him appear ignorant) that certainly doesn't advance the discussion does it?
Bill from Belmont says:
My grandparents and my father were immigrants from Italy too, Tony. And they came in legally.
Linda b wagner says:
Agree! Especially like your last sentence states clearly how we need to behave.

Tibor Hangyal says:
read above: &
So before you vote to spend my government tax dollars sponsor in some one yourself & help them get started take time off from work time off your life to help them get apartment etc….
but definitely not sending them more money then our own citizens get on social security.
Some elderly get $650.00 per month and new refuges get $ 2-3000 per month each ? how is that right?
Money should be distributed trough churches and locally by people who see the recipient people every day.
and if they do not make an honest effort learning English and looking for work, they need to go back or go to another country.
Martha Older says:
Where do they get this money from, for how long, and what is the source of your information as to the amount?
Mary Esther Rohman says:
Thank you for talking about the effect of climate change on immigration patterns around the world. Formerly agrarian people crowd into cities, creating havoc and miserable conditions for everyone. Those who dare try to leave for a better life anywhere or die trying. People who say climate change is not happening need to see and accept the entire impact of changing climates all over the planet, and it's impact on society.
Nice story; but I would weigh this against the need to maintain our sovereignty and security, not to mention our economy and system of law (constitutionally and democratically legislated). Mexico deplores our new administration; but has very stringent immigration laws and a wall to keep the Guatemalans out. Spain likewise has a right and a duty to its citizens to protect its borders, especially given the terrorism threat Europe now has. Liberals and especially the liberal media like to conflate immigration with illegal immigration as if they are the same; but the distinction is important if we are to maintain a rational society based on the rule of law.
Geoff Dutton says:
I agree that protecting sovereign institutions is important. But Mexico's Guatemalan wall isn't there for the same reasons as Trump's wall. Their wall is basically for our convenience, because so many desperate souls from Central America think ours is the promised land. Can you blame them for fleeing exploitative, corrupt and brutal regimes to come here? Could our support of those regimes possibly be a factor?
What's missing from your post is any sense that as citizens of America we bear any moral responsOibility for the situations these people find themselves in. After Saddam's Gulf War miscalculation, our leaders put sanctions on Iraq that devastated and did in people there. Then we invaded, only to bestow on Iraq an Iranian puppet government (which we support) whose actions and incompetence invited sectarian pushback, now led by ISIS—which we also helped to create. And now that hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Syrians have had to flee for their lives, we deny them succor because they might have grudges against us. Well, why shouldn't they?
America has losers as well as winners. You can find many in our country, not even counting the growing zombie army of opioid addicts. But there are far more losers scattered across the globe. Try to look at our nation through their eyes before you seek to justify measures to protect us from the consequences of our actions.
As Dr. A points out, im/migration has been deliberately complicated through raising bureaucratic and physical barriers to citizens of least favored nations who face dire conditions. As more and more impoverished people victimized by
* Food emergencies
* Civil war
* Insurgencies
* Legacies of colonialism
* Kleptocracies
* Natural disasters
* Climate change
* Starvation wages and Unemployment
and other factors, almost all of which are man-made (for the most part deliberately), the official actions of the Trump administration and other political leaders make me ashamed of my country. So ashamed that I even wrote a novel exploring the conditions that give rise to terrorism, which I doubt any publisher will accept because it doesn't blame the victims of greed, violence, and oppression enough for their enmities.
We need to enlarge our perspective to understand our own complicity in unleashing forces that drive people to flee across borders. The inequalities of income and opportunity that fuel these dynamics are only getting worse.
MR. HOOVER says:
tell the stories of those who are victims of these illegals who have lostfamily and treasure.why do you hide them?tell both sides.
I came here to the USA in with a full screening process done! We came here getting away from communism. We did not come here to free load on the system, and we did not come here to be a burden on the system. We here in the USA need skilled labor and we do need a labor force that will be probationary on doing good and being good. So have people prove them self's to be a good partner in our society. Limiting immigration to what we need is cruizser since if it was easy people keep shifting non stop from one place to the other, I am at ground level I see this daily. Now dollar strong they want to come here. but it has to be kept reasonable. and there has to be a distinction between people jumping fence and coming in and people who came here legally and over stayed. Balance must be reached with un-skilled labor trough sponsorship so we can fill the positions us Americans do not want to do any more.
And there has to be a distinction between people jumping fence and coming in and people who came here legally and over stayed. Balance must be reached with un-skilled labor trough sponsorship so we can fill the positions us Americans do not want to do any more.
our sponsors took us in their homes and help us look for work and apartment etc….
it should not be the government indiscriminately trowing money at people and help them to sit on their ass and collect for the rest of their life and live off the system.
each and every one has to go through an adjustment status, since back home before things went to shit they had a great life Nice cushy job with good pay and inherited house which they never had to pay rent since the house they grew up in was payed for generations ago.
Duke Briscoe says:
"new refuges get $ 2-3000 per month" Isn't that support (federal support I assume) only for a few months? I also read that refugees have to sign a promissory note to repay the cost of transportation to the USA. See https://www.rescue.org/article/coming-america-reality-resettlement :
"Before refugees coming to the U.S. leave the countries where they temporarily reside, they sign promissory notes agreeing to reimburse the U.S. government for travel costs."
I'm not arguing one way or the other about this, but I just want to have real facts to think about rather than probably wrong statements about refugees receiving large and unending payments.
During WW2, if a refugee wanted to come to the US, they needed a sponsor to "swear" to be responsible for their care and expenses. The same for immigrants. Just ask Marty Walsh. His father had to have a sponsor. And if Marty Walsh's father couldn't work, the sponsor was responsible for all expenses so that he wouldn't be a burden to the Gov't.
Here's a clip from a 1941 movie demonstrating this fact. They were altruistic when they signed the original papers, but when the refugee showed up at Ellis Island they wanted to shirk their responsibility or pass the buck to one of the other guys.
You TCM fans may recognize Milton Berle, John Payne, Glenn Miller and the mystery "refugee". Notice what the "immigration officer" tells the sponsor.

I'm afraid if you are an America Citizen, that you are eventually going to get the SHAFT.
Just look to our neighbors to the North, Canada. Their citizenry are taking a back seat to incoming refugees and no one is taking up their plight.
Canadian citizens are becoming homeless and Canadian citizens are forced to subsidize non-working refugees. Refugees making +59% more income than working citizens.

In honor of Earth Day it should be noted that the uncontrolled influx of illegals will cut down on arable land. There is already a problem with urban development cutting down the amount of farm land in many parts of the United States. This negatively affects the environment. We need to agree on a reasonable immigration policy; not just make excuses for those who break the law.
Georges Brun-Cottan says:
"but it is much harder for those among us who are struggling economically to welcome more competition and crowding:"
I keep struggling on this premise that immigration causes economic hardship on the community receiving them:
Our blooming cities comes from those local then larger immigrations. Immigrants produce, pay taxes and consume.
Most if not all our safety net and mutualized redistribution, are paid by the year's tax, not from revenue from old funds.
I totally understand about fear and non economic challenges, identities, perception habits. But is there any basis on the economic aspect?
Once this is debunked, it become easier to focus on the actual causes of hardship amongst us, rather than going after the ones even weaker and poorer than us.
Regarding comments on the freedom to move and the 2nd account of Dr Alexander. I am an immigrant, and see this freedom as a virus, going both way: exporting both ways the best of the cultures. It is a win-win proposition. For poverty and war to persist, you need enclosure: no one will fight where there is no one. Our modern wealth is based on people daily works. There is a few exceptions on resources…. we can deal with those differently.
Mike Crowley says:
Thank you for your post, Will. It is all too easy in our obsession with boundaries to forget the human stories and suffering that often lead to migration. We need leeway, including at the local level to give those in need a hand, especially at a time when our national government is riven by paralysis in its ability to implement meaningful immigration reform. Most Americans recognize that our federal immigration laws are woefully out of date and if adhered to too closely without use of both heart and mind, lead to unjust and unfair outcomes. Our laws need to be changed. In the meantime, let's not heap injustice on those in need.
Ann Dexter says:
Thank you for sharing this story Will, and for keeping us aware of the very human suffering and contradictions inherent in the current status of immigration. That picture is chilling, and truly says more than 1000 words.

George Gianopoulosg says:
Thanks, Will. The people in the Washington Administration need to read and understand the truths presented in this story. We all need to continue to speak out on the issues brought out in this most poignant story.
M Wilson says:
I'm sorry but we can't save everyone on the planet. And any solution is going to involve multiple fronts of operations. Start with discouraging people to flock to US and Eu. Formulate plans to aid to people and governments in distressed countries – a Marshall Plan on steroids is needed. Keep refugees fleeing war zones closer to their homelands to make repatriation easier. Increase enforcement of existing US laws by hiring more ICE agents and going hard after businesses who hire illegals. Put businesses who hire illegals out of business. On another note, the high tech industries lament that their are not enough qualified tech workers is BS. Come with me to any networking group for unemployed tech workers – all are qualified and looking, but no one is hiring. (and yes, I'm out of a job and looking for work in high tech)
Will: beautifully written!
I have done psychological assessments of people applying for asylum once here. At the time I did this (ending in 2012), the Boston immigration courts allowed about 17% to stay in America — which is actually a lot more than in most immigration courts.
Medical problems, poverty and joining family, among other other factors, are not considered acceptable reasons for staying. It requires persecution.
Those sent back are often tortured and killed.
BTW, the description above is not exactly a likely method for those who had it comfy where they were!
Lorraine Schieve says:
This is huge, humbling and consuming. First, Senator, I am relieved and glad to know that your and Isabella Alexander's paths crossed. Your lifelong dedication to justice, battling odds at every juncture, is a gift of life in service to humanity. Your opportunity to connect with a person of like drive, accomplishment and passion must be ennobling and so uplifting in an otherwise unimaginable challenge. I know that you are broadly balanced in your perception, dedication and plans. Forgive me to harking back to points you already know.
The description of making it over the fence and surviving the journey to a better land is heartbreakingly improbable. Problems for the masses left behind have to be addressed within their homelands. That is also daunting and dangerous beyond words but kernels of potential growth might be rescued and nurtured. Their are missionaries in dreadful corners of the Earth working on just that. Sending American military forces to transform thinking and squash oppression has not worked in recent years. I know of no shared global imperative like that which existed before the Great War.
This is not a copout. I encourage everyone I encounter everyday to open their hearts, wallets, strength and minds to addressing problems in situ in this country. We need to embrace the United Nations as the premier organization in this country, supporting its irreplaceable position in world life.
Lorraine, Your point is well taken, not a copout, I agree that — if we could we would want to stabilize the countries from which people are fleeing and make them places people want to stay. Very tall order.
This is a commentary about the refugee crisis from Stefan Molyneaux, the Canadian Vlogger who is a philosopher, has a BA and MA in History, a background in Theater Arts, was an entrepreneur (a software company)and gives a new perspective on issues.

How about doing something for your constituents instead of creating liabilities for them. Selfstroking by trying to make yourself look charitable offering what isn't yours has become your hallmark.

Tower Hamlets Firework Display - A Giant Leap
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing
Date: 3 November 2019 to 3 November 2019
Location: Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets
Client: Mayor of Tower Hamlets
A Giant Leap celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing
Once again, we we're delighted to have won the tender to create this year's firework display for Tower Hamlets at Victoria Park, and this year our pyrotechnic team came up with a stella show to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon.
'A Giant Leap' will took our audience of 80,000+ on a multi-sensory journey with a feature-rich display accompanied by an eclectic mix of music tracks, as well as original music, to convey changing tempo and energy.
The show also featured another of our epic fire-drawings, designed by Peter Mountain, which have become a hugely popular part of our displays, as well as sound recordings from the Apollo 11 mission, along with some unexpected moments.
"We're really excited to be back at Victoria Park to put on another display in response to this year's creative brief. This is a big show for a big audience so, once again, we've worked hard to create something epic, original and, hopefully, highly memorable." Nathan Jackson, Producer

During the first part of the episode, Wagner asks for the guests' take on what happened on the latest episode of Teen Wolf. Do they like that Stiles is going down a darker path? What could the branding behind the ears of some of the characters mean? And, most importantly, how would they feel if someone they were dating turned into a werewolf?
They also talked a bit about Aiden, who Lydia called out as being a bad guy in this last episode. Everyone on "Wolf Watch" agreed that Aiden is a player, but then Cho chimed in and said that they do still like him and want him to be a good guy. Wagner felt quite conflicted after that, and we can't help but agree.
Cho also talked about the fan responses to her character and how grateful she is for such a loyal and incredible fanbase. Kahuanui chimed in at that point and also expressed his thoughts about how amazing Teen Wolf fans are and that nothing goes unnoticed. Keep it up, Wolf Pack!
During the episode of "Wolf Watch," we also got to see a sneak peek of season 3, episode 17, titled "Silverfinger," along with a short promo of the same episode.
Teen Wolf season 3, episode 17, airs on Monday, February 3 at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

LIVE AT CBGB
Terrell's Tune-up got held today for space in Pasatiempo. Happens sometimes. So instead of that, here's this:
I got a press release this morning for an upcoming soundtrack album for an upcoming movie about CBGB, that famouse dump in New York City's Bowery that was the proving grounds for many of the bands that became the cream of American punk rock.
I only got to go there once, back in the late 90s. I was with my daughter, then a teenager, and her friend. The band playing that night was one none of us had ever heard of, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb. I kept trying to imagine that they were The Patti Smith Group or The Ramones. (They weren't even close, but they were kind of fun.)
"The film tells the story of Hilly Krystal, played by Alan Rickman, and his legendary Bowery club that brought punk to life and helped birth the underground music scene in the U.S." So says the press release. "The film also stars Malin Akerman, Ryan Hurst and Ashley Greene. The movie will premiere at the CBGB Festival, and will open in select cities on October 11th."
The soundtrack, to be released Oct. 8 by Omnivore Records features lots of the bands who rose out of CBGB -- including Richard Hell & the Voidoids, The Dead Boys, Television, The Talking Heads -- and those that influenced them like The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The MC5, etc.
Any who, here's some videos of some bands playing CBGB before they got famous.

I'm not competing with Echiejile, says Chima Akas
Chima Akas needs little introduction when it comes to Nigerian football. He captained the Home Eagles to qualify for the CHAN 2016 African Championship and has been a regular member of the full Super Eagles team for some years. He has tremendous experience playing in the Nigerian League and the full back is rumoured to be in keen competition for the full back position of the Super Eagles with the more exposed and more experienced Elderson Echiejile.
But speaking with TheCable, Akas, who is looking forward to the 2016 CHAN African Championship, denied "competing" with Echiejile.
"I feel happy that we are going for the CHAN, happy that we did not disappoint Nigeria in qualifying for this tournament. We are looking forward to traveling to Kigali and ding Nigeria proud," he said.
"In Burkina Faso, it was tough. It was tough because the Burkina team came all out and brought the game out to us while we did the opposite. We didn't take our game to them. It was a bit difficult for us but we were able to contain the pressure and we played our game. Reason for the draw."
Akas recalled his career from the amateur ranks to becoming prominent in the Nigerian League, saying: "I played for so many amateur clubs from 2005 to 2007. Played in Ilesha, Osun State with Dynamo FC, I played for Suma in Ibadan before joining Shooting Stars.
"After playing with some amateur clubs, playing with Shooting Stars made me feel at home. The Ibadan fans love football so much. I got lots of experience playing with the team. I enjoyed playing with the team because it is a big team in Nigeria. And if you are a Shooting Stars player, then you will know that you played with a club with some pedigree."
Asked if he would stay with Sharks to fight for promotion the Nigerian Premier League after the team's relegation at the end of last season, he was very emphatic that he would definitely not be playing in the lower division next season.
"I joined Sharks FC after Shooting Stars went on relegation in 2013 in the Nigerian Premier League. This is because I made a decision long time ago that I won't want to play in the second division. Reason I moved to Port Harcourt to play with Sharks," he said.
"As I said earlier, I don't like playing Division Two. I can't play with Sharks in Division Two. I want to move ahead. I am looking forward to playing in Europe or playing in the top tier of Nigeria League. I am leaving everything in the hands of God to direct me in finding a better club. That's all I am going to say on this for now."
On competition for places in the Super Eagles, he said: "There's nothing like competition between myself and Elderson Echiejile. He is a senior player in the Super Eagles team.
"I always watch him either when he is playing for his club in Monaco or the national team before I started getting a call up to the national team. So, he is someone I look up to. What I know is that I will always work hard and do my best at all times, but it is the coach that has the final say on who will play at any point. So, there's nothing like competition between the two of us.
"Elderson is my friend. We joke around a lot with each other. We talk. There's unity in the Super Eagles camp generally. No discord of any kind. We are one family."
Thanking God for the progress he has made over the years, Akas said: "It's by the grace of God that I am able to do all I did and I am doing. It's not by my power. I'm always asking God to empower me to always give my best after hard work.
"That's why I am able to play and give my best for my club and the national team. Playing for Sharks FC today and the next day being called for national duty is just by my determination to always give my all to do what I know how to do best, which is to play football. It was tough though, but I tried to manage it well because it is my job.
"I am not the one that will rate myself. It is the people out there who will rate my performance. All I just want to do is to give my best at all times and work very hard too. So, I can't rate myself.
"The motto of Nigeria now is winning and winning. We are doing our best here so that we can go to Rwanda and win CHAN. We need Nigerians to keep praying for us. The players are giving 120 percent commitment in training. With God and individual as well as team work, I am sure we will go to Rwanda and win the Cup. That is my belief."

OmniGraffle 3.0, OmniGraffle 3.0 Pro ship
Macworld	 Apr 14, 2003 5:00 pm PDT
The Omni Group has released two new versions of OmniGraffle, its Mac OS X diagramming and drawing application. OmniGraffle 3.0 and OmniGraffle 3.0 Professional are now available, and both require Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
Both versions add new features designed to aid users in creating charts and drawings, like "smart guides" for precise placement of graphics and a complete redesign of the Info architecture which makes it easier to see what's on the inspectors, easier to hide and show tools, and easier to arrange them.
A new Style & Selection inspector has been implemented, and the Shadows inspector has been rebuilt. The Image inspector allows more complex shadow rendering schemes, and the Image inspector allows you to offset images inside a shape by dragging them. There's much more, too, including the ability to drag network folders into OmniGraffle while maintaining all icon and hierarchical content.
OmniGraffle 3.0 also implements a new caching architecture to improve performance, better AppleScript support, better support for importing OmniOutliner files, and improved Selection tool and more.
OmniGraffle 3.0 Professional adds even more capabilities, including import and export support for multi-page Visio 2002 XML files, and the ability to export multiple pages as a multipage, linked HTML document.
The Pro version also features "mouseless editing" or Brainstorming Mode, advanced editing capabilities, multi-page document support and the ability to have multiple editing windows. ColorSync Workflow & Proofing is now supported, and pattern support has been added to the Apple color picker. There's more too.
OmniGraffle 3.0 costs US$69.95. Upgrades from previous versions costs $24.95, including versions bundled on certain Macs. OmniGraffle 3.0 costs $119.90, with upgrades available from OmniGraffle 2.0 and 3.0. Visit the Omni Group Web site for more details.
