EY Entrepreneur Of The Year China
About the awards
The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year awards program is one of the world's most prestigious business accolades for entrepreneurs. Recognised globally, the awards honour the most outstanding entrepreneurs who inspire others with their vision, leadership and achievement.
Created in the United States in 1986, our EY Entrepreneur Of The Year (EOY) awards program has grown to more than 145 cities in 60 countries and territories, with awards presented to hundreds of the most successful and innovative entrepreneurs in the world. Past winners have included business luminaries such as Michael Dell of Dell Computer, Howard Schultz of Starbucks, Pierre Omidyar of eBay.
Unlike other business awards programs, which take place at a local and national level, EOY is unique in that national winners will go on to represent their countries at an international awards ceremony to celebrate their leadership and accomplishments. In all, over 50 national award winners from around the world will face a distinguished panel of judges, comprising past winners and business leaders to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year (WEOY) award.
The China program was launched in 2006 and has become a widely recognized awards program in the country that honors bold entrepreneurs who achieve success by combining ability with opportunity. In particular, the program recognises the benefits that entrepreneurs and their entrepreneurial spirit bring to the economy of China, by creating employment opportunities and enhancing competitiveness of Chinese enterprises. Past winners included Richard Samuel Elman of Noble Group, Liu Yonghao of New Hope Group, Cho Tak Wong of Fuyao Glass Industry Group, Li Shufu of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, Vincent Lo of Shui On Group, Ma Weihua of Wing Lung Bank Ltd and Yang Guoping of Dazhong Transportation. Among them, Cho Tak Wong was named the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year 2009.
The 2014 country winners will go on to represent China at an international awards ceremony next year, where they will compete for the prestigious title of EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year.

A man posing as a staff member of the privately-run Bombay Hospital in south Mumbai cheated the relatives of an ailing patient of Rs 25,000.
On Monday, at 11.30am, as Ajit Kamble, 35, was wheeled into the emergency room in a semi-conscious state. He was later shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on the 14th floor of the hospital.
Taking advantage of the frantic situation, a man approached Kamble's wife Sushma, 33, and her brother Sudhir identifying himself as staff member of the hospital.
"The man was formally dressed replete with an identity card strung on his belt. As the hospital is huge, we had no clue where to take Ajit. He even walked inside the ICU on the 14th floor with Ajit on the stretcher. That's why we believed him," said Santosh, Ajit's brother. The man later escorted Sudhir to the cash counter on the first floor. He asked Sudhir to wait near the elevator while he made the payment of Rs 25,000 at the counter.
"My sister-in-law had pawned her mangalsutra and other jewellery and managed to raise Rs1 lakh. Sudhir handed over Rs25,000 to the man and waited near the elevator. The conman left the building from another exit," rued Santosh.
After waiting for the man to turn up for two hours, the family realised they had been duped.
"A case of cheating has been registered against the man. He has been identified on the CCTV footage, but the police has yet not been able to trace him," said senior inspector Deepak Dhole of the Azad Maidan police station.
Established in 1952, the hospital currently houses four buildings with a total built-up area of 5 lakh square feet.
"Everyone has access to the first and second floors. There are four buildings, with at least four staircases on each floor. It is very easy to escape unnoticed from any exit. We hear about one such case every six months," said an official at the cash counter of the hospital.
The hospital authorities were not available for comment.

Chiefs Emotional Win in Face of Jovan Belcher Tragedy Shows Sometimes Football Is More Than Just a Game
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/8/14
ATLANTA - AUGUST 13: Antone Smith of the Atlanta Falcons is tackled by Jovan Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs at Georgia Dome on August 13, 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
As the Kansas City Chiefs stepped onto the field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon, they were preparing for more than just a football game. Peyton Hillis was well aware of that reality, gathering his teammates in the locker room before the game and using the bible as his guide, as NFL Network's Jeff Darlington noted on Monday. "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." That was just the beginning of the excerpt he read from the book of Ephesians (chapter 6, verses 10-20), using the words of God to enlighten and motivate his teammates in their most trying hour. At 1-9 on the season entering Sunday, the Chiefs understood what it was like to lose. But not like this. Barely 24 hours before taking the field, maybe 100 yards from where the Chiefs players now stood, their teammate, friend and brother had died. Jovan Belcher's tragic death was still far too fresh to understand or internalize exactly what had transpired, and yet there was work to be done. Behind Hillis' motivational words and head coach Romeo Crennel's leadership, the Chiefs marched onto the field and made a statement in their 27-21 win against the Carolina Panthers. The result, which included a standout performance from Jamaal Charles and some unexpected success from quarterback Brady Quinn, marked more than just a win for the Chiefs, though. What they accomplished on Sunday wasn't merely playing a game. It was much more than that. In the face of such tragedy, felt by both the organization and the city of Kansas City, the Chiefs stepped up and showed their true mettle and grit. They lifted the spirits of the more than 60,000 fans inside Arrowhead Stadium and left an unforgettable impression on the football world, and the world in general. Belcher's death, and the gruesome circumstances leading up to it, is a reality that goes beyond just the NFL or the world of sports. It's something that hits home for some, frightens many and that all can empathize or at least sympathize with. It's far greater than any single game or sport, and such a grand tragedy sometimes calls for an even greater response. And on Sunday, Hillis and his teammates answered that call in the best way they knew how. Many questioned whether the game should've been played in the first place, but in seeing what resulted and the impact that game had on those players, there wouldn't have been a better place for them to be or a better way for them to cope. Sunday's are for football in Kansas City, just like everywhere else around the United States. But on this Sunday, the game itself took a back seat. Rather it was about paying homage and the emotional triumph associated that took center stage. And maybe — although under different pretenses — that's how it should be more often.

Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli information
When Nicolò di Pietro's Madonna icon started miraculously weeping in its outdoor shrine around 1480, crowd control became impossible in this cramped corner of Cannaregio. Out of deference to her holiness – and possibly to disperse foot-traffic jams – the neighbours took up a collection to build a chapel to house the painting and its ecstatic admirers. But there was another miracle in store for the neighbourhood: Pietro and Tullio Lombardo's design, which completely ignored then-current Gothic in favour of a simpler, more classical approach that would come to be known as Renaissance architecture. Although frequently described as a 'jewel box', the church is not especially flashy inside: it's simply clad with glistening marble, keeping the focus on the miraculous icon at the front of the church. But look closely at the chancel staircase and you'll notice that angels and the Madonna have been carved right into the railings by Tullio Lombardo. In a prime example of Renaissance humanism, Pier Maria Pennacchi filled each of the 50 wooden coffered ceiling panels with a bright-eyed portrait of a saint or prophet dressed as a Venetian. The church that began as a modest chapel became a true icon of Venetian ingenuity, and a monument to community.

I am a friend or relative of resident
LOVE IT! Very Caring Staff, Rooms are private and carpeted. Nicely done and affordable. Even has private bathrooms.
I visited this facility
This particular assisted living facility has had a host of incarnations. In its' latest version, some aesthetic improvements have been made, but fundamental flaws still exist. Firstly, it is located just west of downtown in an area that is not the safest. There is a grocery store directly across the street and it is close to both junior and senior high schools. The basics are there; assistance with ADLs, meals and housekeeping, nurse on site. However, there are no frills here. The rooms are not carpeted and have a cold feel to them. Staffing is tight and that means residents may have to wait to get attention when they want or need it. Not a lot of activities. If money is not a restriction, I would recommend that you look around.

I'm sure the Terra hubs are right out of the F650 parts bin, but are all of these variations with different bolt spacing or hole diameter? Inquiring minds want to know. I want to go up to 50 on the rear for a little more slow speed control without slipping the clutch. I never know when I might want to get foolish on some trail that I shouldn't be on. Want to leave the large 16T countershaft sprocket alone. Big is good!
Although I agree that big is good - size does matter after all ;)
I went to a 15/49 combo on my Pegaso Rotax 655, which is something like the predecessor of the Strada in many cases.
The early BMW Funduro Rotax 654 was built at the same factory in Northern Italy just across the lake from the actual Husqvarna factory :-D
And the cost for both sprockets will probably be less than a custom made 50 tooth "work of art", after all.
Furtermore I found a program calculating chain length/sprocket sizes for most even wear of all parts of the drivetrain and 15/49 is a LOT better than 16/50.
A bit of esoteric maths, I agree, but after all I'm an IT person :P
Just waiting for the TR650 to come to our Spanish Islands off the coast of Africa ...
Because there is _no_ way I am going to Europe in winter - not anymore :-D

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Haitians piled bodies along the devastated streets of their capital Wednesday after a powerful earthquake flattened the president's palace, the cathedral, hospitals, schools, the main prison and whole neighborhoods. Officials feared thousands -- perhaps more than 100,000 -- may have perished but there was no firm count.
Death was everywhere in Port-au-Prince. Bodies of tiny children were piled next to schools. Corpses of women lay on the street with stunned expressions frozen on their faces as flies began to gather. Bodies of men were covered with plastic tarps or cotton sheets.
President Rene Preval said he believes thousands were killed in Tuesday afternoon's magnitude-7.0 quake, and the scope of the destruction prompted other officials to give even higher estimates. Leading Sen. Youri Latortue told The Associated Press that 500,000 could be dead, although he acknowledged that nobody really knows.
''Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed,'' Preval told the Miami Herald. ''There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them.''
Even the main prison in the capital fell down, ''and there are reports of escaped inmates,'' U.N. humanitarian spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said in Geneva.
The head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission was missing and the Roman Catholic archbishop of Port-au-Prince was dead.
''The cathedral, the archbishop's office, all the big churches, the seminaries have been reduced to rubble,'' Archbishop Bernardito Auza, the apostolic envoy to Haiti, told the Vatican news agency FIDES.
The international Red Cross said a third of Haiti's 9 million people may need emergency aid and that it would take a day or two for a clear picture of the damage to emerge.
President Barack Obama promised an all-out rescue and humanitarian effort, adding that the U.S. commitment to its hemispheric neighbor will be unwavering.
''We have to be there for them in their hour of need,'' Obama said.

So the story goes...
I had just come back from a couple days riding and camping with pnoman, (I'm sure he's about to post up a ride report just anytime
), so I had my bike geared up for highway riding and I had just had time to put my new Mefo on the rear. And as you can see from the photo BuffWV had just converted his bike to the Super Ninja, complete with very high gearing. We haven't been able to get time to ride at the same time for a couple of weeks, so we took off this afternoon to get this tag going.
We decided on a place to go for the tag and in true ADV style decided we would try a new way to get there
It started off well enough, then I decided to see where my gps would decide to take us.
Now anyone that has a Garmin 76 knows that they are somewhat unpredictable when it comes to routing. This has caused me trouble a few times, but I still try it on occasion.
Even this started out pretty well. It turned off the road I had planned on traveling, but we decided to go with it anyway. We hit some nice gravel roads and Buff was
Then we got back to blacktop and were tooling along, when Gamin said turn off.
this looked a little bit questionable, but why not.
After a few water crossings
We hit one that was a little deeper and I must have picked up a little bit of water because my bike skipped a few beats. I stopped to make sure everything was ok.
Buff decided to wash up a little bit while he was waiting...
He's kind of funny that way!
He seemed to be ok, so picked the bike up and moved on. Then I found him stopped again. What's wrong with this picture?
Now to some people this would be a problem, but Buff just said "Oh well, I still have a front brake!"
He decided he would stay in front after that to help avoid playing bumper cars.
There were a few muddy spots. Of course I don't have pictures of the worst ones because I was too busy trying to stay upright.
At this point I was thinking the Mefo did better than I expected in the mud. More on that later.
We finally got out of the mud and water crossings and found some more nice roads.
Then we got to the tag location.
Another post coming with more information.

The sting from the controversial split-decision draw to Rocky Martinez still burns for boxer Juan Carlos Burgos.
In January, in his second title attempt, Burgos came up short on the scorecards (114-114, 117-111 for Burgos, 116-112 for Martinez), which allowed Martinez to retain his WBO super-featherweight title.
"It is sad for me to watch," Burgos said Wednesday of the fight. "I try to avoid watching it because for me to see it, I get so bothered by the fact that two people (judges) didn't see me win the fight, when everybody else saw me win the fight.
"I always think that those two put a halt on my career. Because of that now, I had to rethink and retool my career, but that's in the past."
Burgos, 25, protested the decision, but it was upheld.
Wednesday in East Los Angeles, it was announced that Burgos (30-1-1, 20 KOs) had re-signed with co-promoters Thompson Boxing (Orange) and Banner Promotions.
"I'm re-signing with two companies that have brought me two world title fights," he said. "There are a lot of fighters out that haven't had a chance to go for a world title. They have guided my career in the right way, and that's always made me rely on them along the way. I've been happy with them before and I know things will be even better."
Burgos' first shot at a title came in 2010 when he lost a unanimous decision to Hozumi Hasegawa in Japan.
"When I went there, I think I was overconfident," Burgos said of the Hasegawa fight. "It was my youth. I thought I was going to be able to do whatever I wanted, but I realized during the fight that it was not a joke. I have matured quite a bit in the ring. I knew I had to work hard in the Martinez fight. I think I won that fight and now I have to move forward."
As the No. 1 contender, he should get his rematch with Martinez in September or October, Thompson Boxing's Alex Camponovo said.
"I want to clean the slate," Burgos said.
Retirement isn't in Bernard Hopkins' plans.
Hopkins, 48, defeated Tavoris Cloud for the IBF light-heavyweight title in March and will return to the ring July 13 against mandatory challenger Karo Murat (25-1-1, 15 KOs) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Murat's only loss is to current WBO champion Nathan Cleverly.

Michael Aish, 34, is a native of New Zealand who got his U.S. citizenship last July and plans to run in the Olympic marathon trials with the hopes of making the U.S. team for the London Games. He ran the 10,000m at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the 5,000m at the 2004 Athens Olympics for New Zealand. From 1998 to 2003, he ran for Western State, a Division II cross country power in Gunnison, Colo., winning individual NCAA cross country titles in 1999 and 2001.
In 2008, Aish won the PF Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Phoenix. He also won the Denver Marathon in 2010. Aish moved to the Denver area in 2009 with his wife, Nicole, also a track and field athlete.
Running Times: What was it like, coming from New Zealand to run for Western State?
Michael Aish: I had very little going for me back in New Zealand. I had the chance for a free education, so I took it. I got offered a handful of Division I rides, but I ended up choosing Western purely on academics. Western had the best art program, and that's what I wanted.
I was lucky that when I came over, I knew a lot (about running). I was personally coached by Arthur Lydiard, and didn't even know who he was.
RT: Hold on. Are you saying that you were coached by the great Arthur Lydiard but you didn't realize he was one of the most legendary coaches in the history of the sport?
MA: He was just this old guy I met one day; he was a friend of a friend. He'd send me schedules and I'd follow them.
So I came here with a lot of knowledge. That worked really good for me at Western, because the coach (Duane Vandenbusche) saw that I had a lot of knowledge and he used me.
RT: Before long, you were leading the workouts, even though Vandenbusche still had the title of head coach.
MA: For about a year, I just said, 'You're the coach.' After a year, I could see things weren't quite structured. He was trying his best, but he was a history teacher. He knew that, and he said to me, 'I don't know a lot about the physiology of running, but I'm a great organizer.'
RT: And you continued to coach at Western after your eligibility was used up?
MA: We had a run of eight years where I would say we were arguably one of the top three collegiate teams in any division. It was a great group of guys and it was the best environment to build up. Everyone trained hard every day.
We were a group of guys who didn't have much. We used to go to outlet stores to buy our shoes. We had lots of little jokes, like, 'Only in Gunnison would you use a dead snake as a mile marker.' The guys, the timing, everything worked. That's why Western was such a good fit for me.
RT: What kind of hurdles did you face coming out of Western and turning pro?
MA: The toughest thing about being a foreigner was I came out and I'd been to the Olympics; I was running world A standard times, but guys coming out of Division I schools signed $100,000-plus contracts and I got offered a free pair of shoes. I had to work while I was running.
I did get down and out a few times. I was like, 'I'm working jobs; I'm trying to get by just to buy shoes.'

Scientist's Notebook: Working in the Arctic
|Hope Jahren with a tree fossil on Axel Heiberg Island.
|Photo by William Hagopian/JHU
Axel Heiberg Island is far, far away from the United States. It has no movie theaters, no restaurants, no supermarkets or other stores, no TVs, and no people—except the researchers who come to dig in the dirt.
Simply getting to this Arctic island requires multiple flights on a series of smaller and smaller aircraft, says Johns Hopkins geobiologist Hope Jahren. "At the end of several days of this, a helicopter lands and puts you down on the island," she says.
"You watch it fly away and you . . . wonder if the people around you are going to be okay," Jahren says. "Somehow, it all works out."
For three summers in a row, Jahren spent several weeks on the isolated spit of land in northern Canada with a group of students and colleagues. Each time, the team brought tents, radios, scientific equipment, medical supplies, and enough food to last for weeks.
The region is so far north that, during the summer months, darkness never arrives. "I tell the students beforehand not to bring a flashlight," Jahren says. But "somebody always does."
Without the sun's cycle to set a schedule, the researchers tend to eat when they're hungry, work until they get tired, and sleep until they wake up. Most people end up on a 27- or 28-hour cycle, Jahren says.
"You stop watching your watch after a while," she says, "because it doesn't really matter."
Even in the summer, days are usually cold. Temperatures rarely rise above freezing. Every once in a while, Jahren says, the sun comes out, the mercury hits 45 degrees F, and everyone puts on shorts to soak in the relative warmth before the cold settles back in.
Digging for tree fossils in the Arctic is hard work because the ground is frozen. The scientists have to scrape away a 1-inch-deep section of soil, and then wait for the sun to warm the ground again before scraping away another inch-deep section.
Occasional wildlife sightings spice things up. One of Jahren's favorites is the Arctic hare, which stands on its hind legs to look around and then runs on two feet. Upright, the furry, white animal can be 3 feet tall.
"Sometimes, if we're digging and we see a rabbit," Jahren says, "we'll just put our stuff down and start following it for a couple hours."
Other animal residents include musk oxen, Arctic ducks, and aggressive mosquitoes. Plant life includes Arctic cotton, Arctic willow, and some beautiful wildflowers. Colorful lichen covers the rocks.
Despite the cold weather and mosquito bites, Jahren says, Axel Heiberg is a pleasant place to spend a few weeks. The landscape is barren, icy, and breathtaking. You can see for miles and miles. The fossils are spectacular. And without the distractions of normal life, the quiet can be relaxing.
For now, however, Jahren has no plans to go back to Axel Heiberg. After 3 summers of digging there, she has enough material to fuel as many as 20 years' worth of research.
"We have no need to go back and disturb the site," she says. "We need to worry about it lasting another 45 million years."—Emily Sohn

The Dotcom Domain Turns 25
Internet users everywhere are celebrating the silver anniversary of the dotcom domain name, as it was 25 years ago today that a Massachusetts computer manufacturer became the first company to use the now widespread ".com" extension on the World Wide Web.
"This birthday is really significant because what we are celebrating here is the internet and dotcom is a good, well known placeholder for the rest of the internet," Mark Mclaughlin, the CEO of domain certification management firm VeriSign, told BBC News reporter Maggie Shiels on Monday. "Who would have guessed 25 years ago where the internet would be today. This really was a groundbreaking event."
History was made on March 15, 1985 when Symbolics, Inc. registered Symbolics.com and entered the history books. According to Chris Irvine of the Telegraph UK, it was soon followed by BBN Technologies' bbn.com and think.com, which is now part of the Oracle Educational Foundation ThinkQuest educational network for students and teachers.
The majority of the original 100 .com domains belonged to computer manufacturers, claims Irvine. Apple registered their website in 1987 and Microsoft established their .com presence in 1991. According to the BBC News, the one-millionth .com domain name was registered in 1997. Today, claims Irvine, there are more than 84 million domain names in all, and according to Shiels, more than 650,000 new .com websites are registered globally each month.
"Dotcoms have touched us in a way we could not have imagined," Robert Atkinson of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) told BBC News on Monday. "Today we see how dotcoms have enriched our lives that if you are not engaged you would be fine but much further behind than the rest of us.
"The Symbolics.com is currently owned by XF.com, who purchased the domain from Symbolics, Inc. in 2009. XF.com CEO Aron Meystedt recently told DN Journal that his company was "extremely excited to own the Symbolics.com domain name"¦ For us to own the first domain is very special to our company, and we feel blessed for having the ability to obtain this unique property."

Kyle Busch passes Bowyer late to win Trucks race
The 31-year-old Finland native won the F1 title in 2007, left the circuit two years later, and has been racing in the World Rally Car Championship for a team he owns. With a break in that schedule, Raikkonen came to Charlotte looking for a different challenge.
He started 31st in the 36-car field after a mediocre qualifying effort Friday afternoon. He moved as high as sixth place after not pitting early in the race, and later got up to fifth as he avoided the wrecks that littered the track.
Defending series champion Todd Bodine, who entered with a record-tying 12 Truck Series victories on 1 1/2-mile tracks, hit the wall before the race was 10 laps old. Hornaday, a two-time Trucks Series winner at Charlotte, managed to avoid hitting the wall after an early spin.
Matt Crafton gave up the points lead after getting collected in a three-car wreck with under 60 laps to go.
Whitt, who won't turn 20 until next month, earned his fifth top-10 finish a week after finishing second at Dover. He has a 1-point lead over Sauter.
"We've been fast," Whitt said. "We're trying to get a win here, but the (Sprint) Cup guys keep getting us."

Monday - Push Day
* Left shoulder hurting pretty bad, I feel like such an idiot. One thing gets better and I screw up something else. It is only when I make changes that I hurt myself. I screwed up my knee when I tried doing lots of squat partials. Now my shoulder is hurting because I was trying to create a "quiet" workout to do when my family is sleeping. I am 99% certain it was the DB Bench that hurt my shoulder.
I believe that the increase in ROM was a sudden surprise and also that I wasn't staying tight. When I set up for bench I make sure my back is tight and I have a good arch, but for DB, I was just laying back with the weight and pressing away. I think that resulted in some motion of the scapula that wasn't too awesome for my shoulder.
Instead of legs/pull/push, I might make the push day overhead focused (if I can do it pain free) with arms.
Bench Chains w/ Bicep Cable Curls and Band Pullaparts
140x6, 8 sets
Ring Pushups
BWx8, 4 sets
BWx4, 4, 4, 4
Bench Chains
140x2, 2, 2
120x3, 3, 3
Somehow I made it through, not sure if it was smart. Either way, horizontal pressing will be out for a while until my shoulder feels better. I hope Overhead work feels OK. I will try in a few days after my shoulder has some rest.

SEATTLE (AP) -- A four-day search for a missing Washington girl who vanished from her home over the weekend came to a tragic end Thursday, as authorities said they believe they have found the body of 6-year-old Jenise Wright.
Authorities in Kitsap County said Thursday they're trying to track down anyone responsible, and they're "not ruling out anything."
"This is going to be a criminal investigation, there's no doubt about that," said Kitsap County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Wilson.
A forensic pathologist under contract to the county will perform an autopsy, Wilson said. That may take place Friday, depending on the pathologist's schedule. The county coroner has custody of the body, and formal identification is expected Friday, the deputy said.
Determination of the manner and cause of death is pending, Wilson said, but "we suspect that she just did not go off by herself and fall into some bushes and die."
Jenise was last seen when she went to bed Saturday night. Her parents waited a day before calling for help because they say the girl had wandered around the Steele Creek Mobile Home Park on her own in the past. She was outgoing and unafraid to talk to anyone, family said.
Wilson said in an interview Thursday that there were no signs of forced entry at the girl's home and no indication that she was taken from her room.
An FBI team using search dogs discovered the body late Thursday morning in a forested area near the mobile home park where the girl lived. Her family has been notified.
An FBI evidence research team has finished checking the area where the body was found and a forensic mapping team from the Washington State Patrol's criminal investigation division will map the spot, Wilson said Thursday evening.
Authorities said there have been no arrests in the case.
Her parents are cooperating with authorities, Wilson said Thursday.
"It's tragic circumstances that bring us here," said Frank Montoya Jr., special agent in charge of the FBI's Seattle division. Several FBI specialized teams were involved in the search.
In a statement, the sheriff's department said a coroner will make official confirmation of the identity, but "it appears that the body is that of Jenise."
More than 350 people, including officers from 15 law enforcement agencies, searched for Jenise, going door to door at the mobile home park near Bremerton, on the west side of Puget Sound, across from Seattle.
They also pulled surveillance video from nearby businesses and checked in with sex offenders in the county.
After the search began, state child welfare workers removed two other children, an 8-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl, from the home.
Court records show Jenise Wright's father, James Wright, was charged more than a decade ago with molesting two girls, ages 8 and 15.
He eventually pleaded guilty in Whatcom County Superior Court in December 2001 to a misdemeanor assault charge related to the older girl. It was not immediately clear why the molestation charges were dropped. Prosecutors there did not return calls.
A judge in Whatcom County Superior Court sentenced Wright to a year in jail but suspended the entire jail term on the condition that he follow certain conditions, including paying fees.
Wilson said at a news briefing Wednesday that authorities are aware of the past charge against the father, but that officers are focused on finding the girl. "That has nothing to do with this investigation right now," he said.
Authorities searched all 103 homes and every outbuilding and vehicle in the Steele Creek Mobile Home Park.

Ice Runway
Coordinates: 77°51′14″S 166°28′07″E / 77.85389°S 166.46861°E
|Ice Runway
C-5 Galaxy unloading at sea ice runway, near McMurdo Station, 1999.
|McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
|Elevation AMSL
|1 ft / 0 m
The Ice Runway (ICAO: NZIR) is the principal runway for the US Antarctic Program during the summer Antarctic field season due to its proximity to McMurdo Station. The other two runways in the area are the snow runway at Williams Field (ICAO: NZWD) and the white ice runway at Pegasus Field (ICAO: NZPG).
This runway is capable of handling wheeled aircraft, that have included to date: Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Lockheed P-3 Orion. In the summer season of 2009/2010 the RNZAF trialled a modified Boeing 757 operationally. The intention is to use the Boeing 757 for passenger transport thereby freeing up capacity for C17 cargo space. [3]
The annual sea-ice runway for wheeled aircraft is constructed at the start of each season and is used until early December when the sea ice begins to break up.[4] Subsequently flight operations are moved back to Williams Field. Pilots landing C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft on the sea ice runway report that the surface is stable, not unlike landing on concrete. However, the similarity with land bases ends when the jet aircraft rolls to a stop. The nearly 450,000 pound weight of the plane, including cargo and passengers, causes it to sink into the ice, albeit only a matter of inches. A laser light is trained on the aircraft to measure the settlement rate. The $200 million aircraft is moved to a new location on the six-foot-thick ice as a safety measure if the 10-inch red line is reached, according to the News Tribune in Tacoma, Washington.[citation needed]

Federer Ready For Europe
Miami, U.S.A.
by ATP Staff|
Despite a narrow defeat to Kei Nishikori in the Sony Open Tennis quarter-finals on Wednesday, Roger Federer leaves Crandon Park without complaints about the state of his game.
"[I feel] good overall," said Federer. "If I look at the big picture since the beginning of the year, I'm very pleased with how I'm playing."
The 32 year old spent most of last season nursing a back injury, but on a cool evening in Miami, Federer encountered no problems in his 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 loss to the Japanese No. 1.
"Today in the cold it was also a good test, for my back and my body," shared Federer. "It was no problem, even though I do feel very different now because it was quite cool out on the court."

The World No. 5, a two-time champion in Miami, has compiled a 22-4 record for the season, including winning the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships title (d. Berdych) and reaching the finals of Brisbane (l. to Hewitt) and Indian Wells (l. to Djokovic).
"It's a good start to the season, no doubt. I want to keep it up now for Geneva when I play next week."
Federer's stop in Switzerland will be for the country's Davis Cup World Group quarter-finals tie against Kazakhstan, which he'll contest alongside countryman Stanislas Wawrinka. After playing at home on the indoor Rebound Ace, Federer will make the switch to European clay, and then grass.
"The clay is something I have always enjoyed throughout my career," Federer shared. "It's what I grew up playing on.
"I like the changes of continents and surfaces and all that. This is the last jet lag we have to fight for five months or so. The beginning is tough when we go to Australia and then West Coast [for Indian Wells]; Dubai, as well."
Federer hinted at his schedule for the next few months, especially in light of his wife, Mirka, due to give birth in July 2014.
"Last year was a nice change with Hamburg and Gstaad. I don't think I will do that again this year, but we will see what I'll be able to play, depending on my wife."
"I'm going to look forward to [playing in] Europe in general."

Phase II Therapy with Trilostane plus HC for Women with Advanced Breast Cancer Who Have Had Prior Hormonal Therapy
Basic Trial Information
|Protocol IDs
|Phase II
|no age specified
I. Obtain data concerning the efficacy (regression rate and time to progression) and tolerability of trilostane in a Phase II setting in women with advanced breast cancer who have had prior hormonal therapy.
Entry Criteria
Disease Characteristics:
See General Eligibility Criteria
Patient Characteristics:
See General Eligibility Criteria
General Eligibility Criteria:
Female patients with histologically confirmed progressive metastatic carcinoma of the breast. Patients must be postmenopausal (i.e., no menstrual period for at least 12 months in the case of natural menopause or, in the case of those with a prior hysterectomy without bilateral oophorectomy, at least 55 years of age) or previously castrated in the case of prior premenopausal status. Patients must have received one or two prior hormonal manipulations; additive hormonal therapy must have stopped prior to entry. In the case of patients who have responded to estrogen therapy, at least 4 weeks must have elapsed from the time of estrogen withdrawal, with progression of disease in the interim. In the case of patients who have received a depot form of hormonal therapy, at least 8 weeks must have elapsed since the last administration. Patients must have had a response to hormonal manipulation immediately prior to entry or be known to have a tumor that is estrogen receptor-positive at the time of entry. Prior aminoglutethimide, bilateral adrenalectomy, or hypophysectomy excludes. There may be no prior chemotherapy except for adjuvant chemotherapy. Measurable indicator lesions are required; patients with CNS metastases, malignant pleural effusions or ascites, blastic or mixed lytic/blastic osseous metastases as the only evidence of disease are ineligible. Hepatic metastases involving more than one-third of the liver exclude. Patients receiving non-sex hormones that may influence the course of breast cancer (i.e., corticosteroids, thyroid) are eligible if they are taking the drug at least one month prior to entry, if progressive disease is noted prior to entry during the administration of this drug, if the drug dose is stable or decreasing, and, in the case of corticosteroids, if the dosage is no more than the equivalent of 10 mg of prednisone daily. An ECOG performance status of 2 or better and adequate liver and kidney function are required (per Addendum 1, November 1985, creatinine and total bilirubin must be less than 0.8 mg/dl above the upper limit of institutional normal value). Serum calcium must be less than 12 mg/dl (less than 1.9 mg/dl above the upper limit of institutional normal value, per Addendum 1); hypercalcemia must be manageable with hydration without the addition of corticosteroids or mithramycin. There may have been no second known primary cancer that might make the origin of metastases questionable.
Expected Enrollment
20 patients will be entered initially; if 3 or more have tumor regression, an additional 15 patients will be entered.
Nonrandomized study. Adrenal Blockade with Replacement Therapy. Trilostane; Hydrocortisone, HC, NSC-10483.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
