Ever wondered whether it's more fuel efficient to fly or drive over long distances? The answer isn't always straightforward and involves a number of factors, as well as personal choices and preferences. A recent article from The Atlantic offers one explanation based on data recently collected by University of Michigan professor, Michael Sivak. To compare travel modes, the data focuses on energy intensity, or the total amount of energy it takes to move one person one mile. Commercial aviation has seen tremendous energy efficiency improvements over the last 40 years, particularly compared to passenger vehicles which have, on the whole, become less fuel efficient. Better fuel efficiency is certainly a part of the equation, but planes also now fit more passengers and rarely depart with empty seats. The trend is reflected here at PDX. In 2013, PDX had a record-breaking travel year with 15 million passengers. The number of travelers increased 4.4 percent over 2012. At the same time, flight operations - the number of planes coming and going from the airport - remained almost flat with only a 0.1 percent increase.

The presence of some birds actually helps support the program. Six resident red-tailed hawk pairs occupy their own niche on airport property. These raptors keep other species of birds away and many of them are savvy enough to thrive in the busy airport environment. A few hawks have been documented living at the airport for over 14 years. The wildlife management team also traps and relocates hundreds of raptors and performs nest interventions when needed. Since 1999, over 1,200 red-tailed hawks have been relocated to 25 different sites. Captured fledglings are sent to the Audubon Society of Portland's flight cages on Sauvie Island, where they learn to fly and hunt before they are released back into the wild, away from PDX.
The team conducts research to help manage prey on airport property and determine the best methods for keeping their populations in check. The most prolific sources of food are grasshoppers, grey-tailed voles and earthworms. The team conducts grasshopper surveys and recently began testing a new type of turf grass that requires less frequent mowing. Grasshoppers are often stirred up during mowing, attracting predators and requiring careful coordination with flight activity.
Though bird strikes do still occur at PDX, the wildlife management team carefully investigates and tracks data to continuously improve the program. For the most challenging investigations, the program relies on the prestigious Smithsonian Institute's Feather Identification Lab, which offers precise DNA matching.

In addition to assisting with recycling and composting efforts at Portland International Airport, the Port of Portland's waste minimization team identifies opportunities for repurposing materials, or upcycling. Upcycling is the reuse of a material in its current or near-current form, using less energy than the reprocessing commonly associated with standard recycling. Wood pallets are one of many materials the Port collects in hopes of upcycling. Pallets arrive with deliveries to PDX and they accumulate in PDX's central waste collection area. The PDX pallets made an artful appearance at the 2013 Time Based Art Festival, sponsored by the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art.
This year's TBA festival took place in a 40,000 square foot warehouse at Con-way's Northwest Portland facility, and the pallets were an ideal option for the industrial chic theme. Because the TBA Festival works with a nominal budget, donated wood pallets were an excellent option for constructing temporary structures such as a bar and stairs. Claire Papas, a member of the 2013 TBA festival design/build team noted that, "the use of pallets was a nod to the history of the building." Con-way is a freight transportation and logistics company.
With the help of GBD Architects, the design/build team crafted the almost 300 pallets of various sizes and shapes into steps, signage, a 20-foot long greeting table, a 40-foot long bar, and two additional 20-foot long bars. When the dust settled and the festival ended, the team dismantled the structures and listed the pallets for free on craigslist.org, where they could be re-used once again. Thanks, in part, to the donated pallets, the community-based project came in under budget.

It wouldn't be the end of another year without taking some time for reflection. It's been a busy twelve months and here are just a few highlights from the Port of Portland in the field of community and the environment in 2013:
Though the Port's headquarters received a Gold certification through the City of Portland's Sustainability at Work program, the beginning of 2013 also saw the kick-off of Port's Sustainability Integration Team, charged with internally promoting the triple bottom line concept of sustainability throughout the organization.
In February, the Port's existing sustainability efforts drew international attention from the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, charged with planning infrastructure for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Their main question during their stop in Portland on a U.S. West Coast trade mission: "What is it about Portland that makes people care so much about sustainability and the environment?"
In the spirit of sustainability, the Port launched a Stormwater Master Plan effort to gain a comprehensive understanding of existing stormwater infrastructure at Portland International Airport and other Port facilities. The work will allow the Port to more efficiently and effectively manage stormwater infrastructure, keeping our facilities operational while protecting water quality.
After 10 years with a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan in place at PDX, Port staff completed an update to the document. The 2003 Plan was the first bike and pedestrian plan in the nation developed specifically for a commercial airport. The plan update will be released in the new year and contains recommendations based on outreach to local transportation agencies, airport employees, and the public.
This year also marked the 10-year anniversary of a partnership between the Port and Portland State University's Community Environmental Services program. Throughout the last decade, CES student consultants have contributed to incredible innovations in waste minimization at PDX and other Port facilities.
CES contributed to the launch of a food donation program at PDX in February. In its first eight months, the program has already contributed 32,600 pounds of food - equivalent to almost 22,000 meals – to local meals service providers. Though a few other airports have food donation programs, PDX's program was so well executed that it received this year's Green Concessions Award from Airports Council International-North America. The program was also featured as one of a handful of stops for United Nations Environment Programme delegates during their visit to Portland for World Environment Day in June.
In 2013, the Port continued to participate in the Healthy Purchasing Coalition, coordinated by the Oregon Environmental Council, which allows local governments to share information about best practices in avoiding hazardous or toxic materials. The Port adopted its own Sustainable Procurement Policy this year to help guide purchasing decisions.
In February, the Port contributed to a highly collaborative restoration project in Elrod Slough. The effort leveraged funds and resources from the Port, the Multnomah County Drainage District, the City of Portland's Revegetation Program, and nonprofits Columbia Slough Watershed Council, Friends of Trees and Verde. Port staff got their hands dirty volunteering at Elrod Slough and at a neighboorhood tree planting with Friends of Trees in March. In October, Port staff volunteered with SOLVE and Friends of Baltimore Woods at the Baltimore Woods Connectivity Corridor, just up the hill from our marine Terminal 4. We look forward to seeing all the many trees and saplings that were planted take root and thrive in the coming years.
Out in east Multnomah County, the Port continued to work with the City of Gresham on the 221-acre Gresham Vista Business Park. With some grant funding from Metro, the team is working on a framework for eco-industrial development. If successful, the framework could result in a roadmap for other developers in the region to create projects resulting in economic, social and ecological benefits.
Though the Port consistently earns high marks for its purchase of 100 percent renewable power, efficiency and conservation remained a high priority in 2013. The Dredge Oregon, which maintains the Columbia River navigation channel, was brought in for the second and final phase of engine repowering. PDX maintenance staff replaced close to 1,000 older, incandescent light bulbs with more efficient LED versions in Concourse C and in some of the hundreds of signs around the airport. The Port added a parking guidance system to the long-term parking garage. A similar system is already in place in the short-term garage and aside from being a popular customer service feature, it helps cut emissions from vehicles searching for a parking spot. Electric vehicle charging stations were also added to the short-term garage.
And finally, the Port's carpet replacement project has garnered a substantial amount of attention over the last several weeks. The project will replace the existing carpet which is over 20 years old. The Port is currently considering recycling, reuse and repurposing options for the carpet once it is removed. If you'd like to stay up to date on the fate of the carpet, sign up on the Port's carpet email notification list.
Happy New Year from the Port of Portland!

This week, the Port began work on the first phase of a project to remove cottonwood trees growing beneath federally-regulated airspace at Portland International Airport. The site will ultimately be replanted with lower-growing, native plants. Although this first phase of tree removal took only a few days, the project is the culmination of years of planning.
Portland has a well-deserved reputation as a tree-loving city, from the iconic Forest Park to the steadfast efforts of local nonprofit, Friends of Trees. Cutting down trees is not something we take lightly. The Port was faced with a decision that was absolutely necessary to keep PDX operational well into the future.
The stand of cottonwood trees in question is located in a vegetated area within the economy parking lots. The trees lie below the regulated airspace for approaches and departures from PDX's north runway. The trees were not yet to the point where they posed a flight safety risk, but they were beginning to penetrate other types of Federal Aviation Administration regulated airspace surrounding the flight paths. These areas are protected to prevent interference with instruments that guide approaching planes and to provide safe paths for planes should they experience mechanical difficulties.
The issue of trees encroaching on the airspace near the north runway has long been identified as a conflict that would eventually need to be addressed. In 2000, the trees were topped, providing an estimated 10-year window of protection for the airspace. Unfortunately, this was not a long-term solution. Topping trees compromises their health, making them hazardous to work around. Therefore, additional topping was not a viable option.
When master planning for PDX began through the Airport Futures process in 2007, removing the cottonwood trees in the economy lot was identified as an essential project to keep the airport operational well into the future. The Airport Futures process allowed the Port to work with the City of Portland and other stakeholders to develop a replanting plan that reflects the site's status as an environmental zone and provides a sustainable, long-term solution that protects flight safety at PDX. When the site is replanted next fall, the trees will be replaced with more than 23,000 native shrub and small tree species such as vine maple, Oregon grape, red-flowering currant and native roses and willow. They will be planted around existing, lower-growing species of trees and shrubs that were left untouched.
While the loss of these trees is unfortunate, we have been able to complete the project in a way that was both as minimally invasive as possible and allows reuse of some of the logs and stumps for mitigation projects. The logging contractor hired by the Port used state-of-the-art equipment and technology to remove the trees, reducing the impact on the site and the amount of time during which the logging activity took place. Some of the logs cut for the project are being reserved to create turtle basking features at Port mitigation sites and some stumps will serve as large woody debris to create nearshore habitat.
The project is planned in phases to minimize site disturbance during wet weather months and to maximize the survivability of the new plants. It will take a little over a year for the site to be replanted and longer for it to become well-established. We will keep you posted on the site's progress over time.

It takes a special kind of person to be willing to dig through the garbage on a regular basis. Thanks to a partnership with Portland State University, this week marks the tenth year that those special people have been making a difference at Portland International Airport. Through PSU's Community Environmental Services program, student consultants work for the Port of Portland in one- or two-year terms and work alongside Port staff to gain experience solving real-life waste management problems. Although they serve all Port facilities, they focus on the Port's primary waste generator - PDX. The airport is like a small city with 10,000 employees and 35,000 people passing through every day. It's a unique setting for developing innovative and creative waste solutions on a large-scale.
Through the students' long-standing support, the Port has made incredible strides in reducing waste. They have played a large role in designing and implementing PDX's waste collection systems and composting program. They have been involved in researching recycling options for coffee cups, conducting waste assessments for airlines and airport terminal tenants and holding annual clean up events for tenants to find ways to recycle and repurpose large and bulky items. Most recently, the students helped launch a highly successful food donation program through St. Vincent dePaul of Portland and helped redesign liquid collection stations at security checkpoints, dramatically increasing their use by travelers.
The partnership truly provides benefits for both the Port and PSU students. "I attribute the longevity and success of this program to two things: the Port's impressive commitment to keep pushing the needle forward on these issues, and the great students that CES continues to attract. I can't think of a better embodiment of PSU's motto, 'Let Knowledge Serve the City,'" says Eric T. Crum, director of the CES program.
Although the program has been in place for many years, there is no typical day for a CES student working at the Port. They do everything from collecting and managing data, to running outreach and education campaigns, to rolling their sleeves up and conducting waste sorts that determine where there are opportunities for program improvements. Their versatility is invaluable and we look forward to another ten years of success and collaboration.

According to a Natural Resources Defense Council report released last year, 40 percent of food in the United States goes uneaten. The statistic is particularly alarming considering the amount of people that go hungry every day. Port of Portland staff recognized an opportunity in our own backyard and recently launched a food donation program, facilitating partnership between St. Vincent de Paul and concessionaires at Portland International Airport. The program encourages food and beverage vendors in the airport terminal to divert unsold, ready-to-eat food products to the local charitable organization. Products include sandwiches, salads, parfaits, baked goods and uncut produce.
The program launched in February and PDX concessionaires donated so much food that by the end of the first pickup day on February 5th, the Port and St. Vincent's staff needed to round up a second donation storage refrigerator. In the first two months of collection, donations weighed in at 2,760 pounds of food - equivalent to more than 1,830 meals. The food ends up with social service providers City Team Ministries, Northwest Family Services and St. Vincent's mobile full-service kitchen.
"This is a win-win for local communities in need and for the airport, too," said Walt Marchbanks, Port concessions operations manager.
Not only is the program matching high quality food with agencies that can distribute it, it's removing food items that serve a higher and better purpose from the waste stream at PDX. In 2012, PDX collected a record 201 tons of food waste for composting. By continuing to donate at least 50 to 100 pounds of high quality food to St. Vincent's three times a week, the program could divert 5 to 10 percent of what would have ultimately ended up in the compost stream.

The Port of Portland received a visit last week from the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee during their U.S. trade mission to the West Coast. The committee is responsible for planning infrastructure improvements for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and plans to renovate three stadiums and build nine new stadiums, open a new international airport, expand its container port facility and expand its light rail and highway systems ahead of the event.
The delegation was led by U.S. Ambassador to Qatar, Susan L. Ziadeh and Qatar Secretary General, Hassan Al-Thawadi. The group also visited Los Angeles and Seattle. Other stops during their stay in Portland included Nike and Jeld-Wen Field.
While at Port headquarters, the group toured our LEED Platinum building to learn more about its energy and water saving features, like our Living Machine®. Executive Director Bill Wyatt described Port operations in general and discussed the Port's sustainability efforts including parking guidance and QuickPay parking payment system that help reduce emissions from idling vehicles. The group, which had many questions even at the end of a long day touring Portland, was particularly interested in what drives the culture around sustainability in Portland.

The Port of Portland was honored with an Environmental Achievement Award at the annual Slough Celebration, put on by the Columbia Slough Watershed Council. The award recognizes Portland International Airport's deicing program for its efforts to provide greater protection to the Columbia Slough water quality.
The Port installed PDX's original deicing collection system in 2003, which used a combination of monitoring, collection, treatment and controlled release of deicing stormwater runoff to the slough and City of Portland sanitary system. Though deicing material does not contain toxic substances, when it is released in large volumes and begins to biodegrade, it can cause increases in biological oxygen demand, which can be harmful to fish. When low flows in the slough contributed to permit exceedances, the Port sought out more aggressive options for treating deicing stormwater runoff. The Port constructed an on-site deicing treatment facility, one of only three of its kind in the nation, that uses microorganisms to break down deicing solution. The newly constructed facility completed a successful commissioning period in April 2012 and is now fully operational for the 2012-2013 winter season.
The Port's deicing program was nominated by Nancy Hendrickson, Columbia Slough watershed manager for the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services. The Port has been involved with the Columbia Slough Watershed Council for many years.
Bruce McClelland, Port of Portland deicing operations manager describes the significant benefits of the deicing program enhancements.

A tight defensive battle was broken by a great offensive play by the Bellmont in the second half and the Squaws captured a 1-0 win over Norwell in Northeast Hoosier Conference girls soccer to remain unbeaten on the season.
The 5-0 Squaws had a decided ball possession edge in the first half but Norwell's defense focused on keeping the offensive combination of Taylor Kennedy, Sarah Gerke, and Madison Gephart quiet by keeping five players back and most of the time were double teaming the BHS forwards.
In a hotly contested county match Tuesday, the Bellmont varsity boys tennis team beat Adams Central 3-2 to remain unbeaten at 5-0. Senior Payton Selking lost to Nathan Barger 1-6, 4-6 at number one singles. This was only Selking's second lost this year including invitationals dropping his record is 6-2.
Phil Bauman, now 7-1, beat Conner Lengerich 6-1, 6-2 while Nick Faurote, who just recently won a spot on varsity, lost to Jacob Weil 2-6, 2-6.

Flying car gets helpful road-kit weight exemption from feds
The Terrafugia Transition, closest thing to a flying car yet built, has received a unique exemption from the US government allowing production models to be 110 pounds heavier than a normal "light sport aircraft". This will permit the car/plane combo to satisfy safety requirements when driving on roads. The Terrafugia Transition …
translate terrafugia?
Hmm ... in the spirit of franglais then with the latin "fuga" meaning "flight" this surely any one with the remnants of a "proper education" can read this as....
"terra-fugia" == "terror-flight"
... not quite what they intened
Hmmm. I've got a reasonably proper education behind me, but it doesn't include any latin.
However, even I know that
terra != terror
Bit feeble that one.
Er, what?
I may be wrong, but wouldn't anyone with a "proper" education translate "terra" as "Land" or "earth", not terror?
Anyone with the remnants of a proper education would just read it as "ground flight" or maybe "earth flight" - though that's with "fuga" of course - slightly more amusingly is if you put "fugia" into Google translate, then you get "fleeing" (in Catalan).
Terrafugia - ground fleeing?
translate terrafugia
"Hmm ... in the spirit of franglais then with the latin "fuga" meaning "flight" this surely any one with the remnants of a "proper education" can read this as....
"terra-fugia" == "terror-flight"
... not quite what they intened"
Anyone with the remnants of a 'correct education' would tell you that fugia does indeed mean 'flee' in Latin, however terra does NOT mean terror. It means 'earth' or 'ground'.
So Ground flight/earth flight, or just some combination of ground and flight, thus its a good name!
light sport aircraft
Maybe they should have went to one of Britains light weight car specialists to get it really light.
Paris 'cause it's such an intelligent comment
A Light weight Idea.....
They could strap wings onto a Reliant Robin fitted with a propeller. That should work out fine.
Re (flying) Reliant Robin
There was one already though a bit short on the safety side. Remeber the rocket-propelled Robin (Top Gear, some years ago)?
cool, but...
its the fugliest thing I have ever laid my eyes on!!!
Well, of course
After all, anyone with the remnants of a proper education knows that "fuga" is "fugly" in Latin.
So clearly, "terra-fugia" == "terribly-fugly"
If the CERN LHC finds the anti-gravity particle,...
will they become collector items (like beta-max, Laser Disc and HD-DVD?)
I want, I want
I want !!!!!
Quite mad, and yet somehow quite brilliant.
Thumbs up.
BTW what do "Prices start at.."
I suspect that........
............ if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Price "estimate" is
$194,000. $10,000 to reserve one. Yah, I can't afford it.
Flying Car?
Not knocking it at all, I think it's great, but it's not really a flying car is it? It's an aircraft that's capable of being driven on the road.
Now as eny fule know a Fraud Mondeo is not a very capable off road vehicle, but it is very capable on the road. A Landrover is not the best at dealing with a twisty ribbon of tarmac at speed, but it is cracking in the dirt. Yes you can adapt a 4x4 to be a good road car, but the better it gets on road the worse it gets off it. And the same is true of taking a road car onto the dirt. In the end you get something that's OK in both environments, but not outstanding in either.
Likewise I bet this thing doesn't fly as well as a normal plane, nor will it drive as well as a normal car. That's only to be expected, but I hope that it has been biased towards airworthyness at the expense of roadworthyness. After all you wouldn't want to have to deal with too many compromises at 12,000 feet. If your softroader can't get up a bank because it's roady tyres won't grip the mud it's not the end of the world, the flying equivalent wouldn't be so easy to laugh off.
Paris? I'm sure she could do it in any environment.
Terror Flight?
Maybe, if "Terra" didn't mean Earth.
Dear AC, do you mean formidonis-fugia?
BTW, I used my impressive classical education to navigate to an online translator.
Well and good, but...
I want one with anti-gravity pods that crackle with static! And gullwing doors!
Oshkosh, by gosh!
You wouldn't write "LonDon" would you?

10 Reasons to Love Yourself
page 1 of 12
By Daylle Deanna Schwartz
The greatest give you can give yourself is yourself — filled with self-love. Unfortunately, many people have a hard time giving this gift and are more concerned with giving others love than they are in giving it to themselves. That's backwards!
Self-love fees great! Loving yourself and who you are creates a satisfying feeling of contentment. Instead of fighting with yourself, beating yourself up or being hard on yourself, you accept yourself in your own imperfect skin. Romantic love feels great but being able to give love to you all the time trumps that! Here are 10 reasons to build your self-love:

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Police have charged a Lawrenceville man in the Sunday night killing of a 24-year-old man who officials said stumbled into a burglary and was shot.
Lawrenceville police arrested Steven James Green, 28, on charges of felony murder, burglary and weapons possession Tuesday in connection with the fatal shooting of Anthony Shane Augustus, of Lawrenceville.
Augustus was accompanied by another man at the time, who was assaulted, treated for his injuries and released. Augustus, shot in his lower abdomen, died at Gwinnett Medical Center, officials said.
Investigators believe the two victims interrupted a burglary in progress inside unit No. 109 at the Cedargate Apartments off Longleaf Drive in Lawrenceville.
Green's warrants indicate he was attempting to rob Augustus when he shot him.
Lawrenceville police have said the apartment was specifically targeted in the burglary. Green's listed address on Senior Drive is about two miles from the crime scene. Police released no other details on the investigation Wednesday.
Green remains at the Gwinnett County Jail without bond, pending a probable cause hearing scheduled Oct. 19.

Nick Pollard was all set to be the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team's kicker as a freshman last season. He'll get another shot this season.
The former Tennessee Mr. Football Kicker of the Year from Father Ryan kicked well in the preseason last August before suffering a leg injury that forced him to miss the 2010 season.
Staff File Photo by Dan Henry/Chattanooga Times Free Press Chattanooga Mocs kicker Nick Pollard makes a field goal during a team scrimmage.
"He was our guy. He was kicking good in camp and was fired up," Mocs coach Russ Huesman said Tuesday, before the team practiced under the lights at Finley Stadium.
Pollard tore one of the quadriceps muscles in his right leg and never could get the strength back. Against Appalachian State in the season opener, Pollard went 1-for-2 on extra points in relief of fill-in Mike Hammons and sat the rest of the season, taking a medical redshirt.
The Mocs finished last season 4-of-10 on field goals and had six missed extra points. Some of those misses helped keep them out of the playoffs.
Since he came to UTC, Pollard has put about 15 pounds of muscle onto his lean frame. Now fully healthy, he has boomed his kicks during the Mocs' three spring practices.
His accuracy wasn't great on the first day, but he's been on target since and has made kicks in the 40-yard range with plenty of room to spare.
"He's crushing it," Huesman said.
No heavy hitting
The Mocs practiced in full pads Tuesday for the first time in 2011. Huesman said before practice that he wanted a lot of contact — he wanted the guys to "get after it pretty good" — but no tackling.
The Mocs will do some live offense vs. defense series during tonight's practice.
Nix inducted
Former UTC coach Buddy Nix was inducted into the Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame on Monday, as was Lady Mocs women's basketball coach Wes Moore.
Mocs quarterback B.J. Coleman, who threw for 2,996 yards and 26 touchdowns last season while leading UTC to a 6-5 record, was recognized as the 2010 Male Athlete of the Year.
Extra points
Huesman spent part of Tuesday visiting with his old secondary coach at UTC, Johnny Henderson, who had two stints as a Mocs assistant in the 1980s. ... The Cookeville Herald-Citizen reported Monday that Livingston Academy Class 4A all-state punter Jake Huitt will be a preferred walk-on at UTC this year.
John Frierson is in his seventh year at the Times Free Press and seventh year covering University of Tennessee at Chattanooga athletics. The bulk of his time is spent covering Mocs football, but he also writes about women's basketball and the big-picture issues and news involving the athletic department. A native of Athens, Ga., John grew up a few hundred yards from the University of Georgia campus. Instead of becoming a Bulldog he attended Ole ...

"When I was growing up, my mother did all of the cooking at home, and the variety was endless," says author Helen Chen. "But it was her everyday Chinese home cooking that I remember best — the often-revisited stir-fry dishes that are simple, easy, delicious."
Now Chen, a top name in Asian cooking, shares her family secrets of traditional Chinese cooking in this collection of more than 60 sensational stir-fries. She includes a wealth of information on stir-frying techniques, from temperature control to perfect prep work, as well as tips for selecting the right equipment for success. Simple advice like adding longer-to-cook ingredients first, and how to quickly marinate meats in cornstarch and wine to lock in juices, help readers get restaurant-quality results at home.
Quick, simple, and versatile, stir-fries are the perfect everyday meal — and you don't need a take-out menu to enjoy one.
This looks interesting - especially information on different techniques. I have a wok, but only use it for a couple of dishes. I'm sure I could be more efficient with it if I learned how.
Thanks for the post!

Al Giordino: Well, we're in the desert, looking for the source of a river pollutant, using as our map a cave drawing of a Civil War gunship, which is also in the desert. So I was just wondering when we're gonna have to sit down and re-evaluate our decision-making paradigm?
Dirk Pitt: I don't know - it seems to be working so far.Sahara is a 2005 action-adventure film starring Matthew McConaughey as Adventure Archaeologist Dirk Pitt. While engaged in a deep-sea salvage off the coast of Nigeria with his partner Al Giordino (Steve Zahn), Dirk discovers evidence that a lost Civil War ironclad may have managed to cross the Atlantic and wind up in Western Africa. Simultaneously, he saves the life of a WHO doctor (Penelope Cruz), who is investigating the source of a strange disease. Together they travel up the Niger River, searching for the missing ship and the toxins causing the disease, while evading the forces of General Kazim, who rules over the region and may have something to do with the plague.Though reasonably successful at the box office, this film was a notable financial disaster, costing the studio over $100 million in losses. The movie was also famous for prompting a multi-million dollar lawsuit by the writer of the original novel, Clive Cussler, against the producers of the film, a lawsuit that Cussler subsequently lost. (the lawsuit lead to all the movie's expenses to be revealed - it's a nice read if you want to discover how can Hollywood spend so much)Not to be confused with the 1943 Humphrey Bogart film of the same name.

Guestbook comments from the manager
Hi Steve,
Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Pono Kai. Our waterfront location on the second floor in D building was perfect and your updated suite was great. We loved being close to Kapaa and the bike/foot path in front of Pono Kai. We used the public bus system to travel from the airport to Pono Kai (bus stop right in front) and to travel to Poipu and other locations.
Thanks, Carol

The military's ability to identify internal threats and report information up the chain of command must be improved to prevent radicalized individuals from carrying out attacks on military posts like the rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, said the two former military leaders who conducted the Pentagon's independent investigation into the shooting spree.
Former Secretary of the Army Togo West and retired Adm. Vern Clark, former chief of naval operations, addressed the findings of the 86-page report, "Protecting the Force: Lessons from Fort Hood," before reporters Friday at the Pentagon.
The report's 53 findings and associated recommendations seek to strengthen the military's ability to identify radicalized members. The report concentrated on four activities necessary to protect service members from comrades in arms who could follow Hasan's path into violent radicalization: threat identification, information sharing, preventative measures, and incident response.
Earlier this morning, Defense Secretary Robert Gates addressed the military's inability to adequately address internal security threats posed by soldiers, reports The New York Times.
"It is clear that, as a department, we have not done enough to adapt to the evolving domestic internal security threat to American troops and military facilities that has emerged over the past decade," Mr. Gates said.
The investigation stemmed from the events of Nov. 5, 2009, when Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan walked into the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood and allegedly opened fire, murdering 13 people—12 soldiers and 1 civilian—and wounding 43 others.
In the massacre's aftermath, press reports painted a disturbing picture of Hasan's descent into jihadism that should have triggered an internal Army response, including improper proselytizing while on duty and in improper forums as well as e-mail communications with a radical cleric in Yemen who was under U.S. surveillance.
The military's ability to spot internal threats and take preventive measures hinges on pinpointing behaviors that indicate violent radicalization and creating a culture where service members are comfortable reporting cases in which comrades exhibit these warning signs, the investigation found.
"The lack of clarity for comprehensive indicators limits the commanders' and supervisors' ability to recognize potential threats," the reports reads. "Current efforts focus on forms of violence that typically lend themselves to law enforcement intervention (e.g., suicide, domestic violence, gang-related activities) rather than on perceptions of potential security threats."
West also explained that the investigation focused on identification of violent extremism in all forms, whether Muslim jihadism or Christian fundamentalism. "The immediate threat is radicalization of any sort that leads to violence," West said.
The report's broad view of extremism contrasts with recommendations made earlier this week by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Reform, chaired by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT). In a letter to Gates, Lieberman and ranking member Susan Collins (R-ME) said "the Army needs to revise its policies to clearly and unequivocally require that service members report fellow service members who exhibit signs of violent Islamist extremist views, behaviors, or affiliations."
The report states that warning signs were both overlooked and ignored in Hasan's case, and that individuals must be held accountable.
"Several officers did not apply the Army's policies to the perpetrator," West said, adding the report recommends the Army should institute accountability reviews for officers responsible for supervising Hasan.
The Associated Press today reports that as many as 8 mid-ranking officers could face disciplinary measures for not appropriately supervising Hasan during his psychiatric training at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
The report also recommends that the Pentagon increase the number of personnel inside regional FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs), which consist of state and local law enforcement officers working alongside FBI agents. After the shooting,The Los Angeles Times revealed that two JTTF members reviewed Hasan's e-mails to radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki but determined Hasan was not a threat. One of those JTTF included a Defense Department investigator who agreed with the assessment and never notified the Pentagon of Hasan's e-mails. Personnel from other agencies staffing JTTFs must first clear with their FBI supervisor any intelligence sharing.
Neither West nor Clark would discuss specifics about the Fort Hood case Friday.
"Information sharing policies are deficient in regards to internal threats," said Clark.
Investigators found limited mechanisms for communicating potential threats inside the military because the service never faced such a threat before. In response, the report calls on the Pentagon to "exercise its role to set the bar higher to establish a new force protection culture, with new standards and procedures for sharing information, to recognize and defeat evolving external and internal threats."
Clark explained that effective information sharing must come "hand in glove" with a command and control structure that can respond to threats. The report notes that the military was fortunate that Hasan's rampage was not part of a coordinated attack and must create a mechanism to handle such an occurrence.
"Our command and control systems must have the right architecture, connectivity, portability, and flexibility to enable commanders to cope with near-simultaneous incidents at multiple locations," the reports states.
Both West and Clark lauded the emergency response to the Fort Hood shooting. According to the report, it took 2 minutes and 40 seconds for first responders to arrive on scene after the initial 911 call and another one-and-a-half minutes to neutralize the shooter. The shooting spree lasted "roughly seven to eight minutes from the first shot to the last," West estimated.
Clark noted that the suspect's rampage could have been far worse if not for effective implementation of active shooter response procedures and existing mutual aid agreements with local and state first responders.
Despite these successes, "it could even be better."
The report recommends that the Pentagon synchronize its emergency management program with its civilian counterpart, the National Incident Management System. "This is an aggressive goal," the report admits, "but it matches the goals and character of future enemies."

Gin Blossoms
Friday, May 30, 2014
2014 Miner Family Winery Stage
6:30 pm
For more than two decades, Gin Blossoms have defined the sound of jangle pop. From their late 80s start as Arizona's top indie rock outfit, the Tempe-based combo has drawn critical applause and massive popular success for their trademark brand of chiming guitars, introspective lyricism, and irresistible melodies. Gin Blossoms soon unfurled a chain of crossover favorites spanning five different formats, from "Hey Jealousy" and "Until I Fall Away" to "Follow You Down" and the GRAMMY®-nominated "As Long As It Matters," earning the band sales in excess of 10 million in the US alone.
"It's a really rare thing," singer/guitarist Robin Wilson says of Gin Blossoms' continuing saga. "So many chapters in this long story." Wilson, guitarist Jesse Valenzuela, and bassist Bill Leen co-founded Gin Blossoms in 1987 and quickly became the toast of the Grand Canyon State's local scene. Blending an array of influences – from The Beatles and The Byrds to The Band and The Buckaroos – with pure pop songwriting and their own post-adolescent energy, the band hit upon a truly thrilling sonic approach that instantly set them at the forefront of the always-adventurous American underground.
The road has also proven exceedingly fertile ground for both Valenzuela and Wilson, with each talented tunesmith promising the inevitable arrival of new Gin Blossoms material. As they approach their third decade, Gin Blossoms remain a rare breed – rock 'n' roll lifers, destined to continue creating, crafting, and performing for audiences ever rapt by their glorious catalog of material.
"We're entertaining and we have chops," says Wilson, "but it really comes down to the songs. The reason we're still here is that we have good songs. When young musicians ask me for advice, what's the best thing to do to further my career, I always say, 'Write good songs.' It always comes down to that."
