When Frank Braswell saw the story about a section of Jordan Lake park being closed because of sexual shenanigans in the bushes, he had to read it several times before it sank in. It was surprising enough that the area had become a hot spot for gay men seeking quick hookups -- the Triangle's version of an infamous men's room in the Minneapolis airport.

DURHAM - Robert Henn began making changes as soon as he walked through the door at Liquidia Technologies. Three months after he signed on as chief technology officer, the Durham company is holding fewer meetings and brainstorming more.
