Autumn Electric
Symphonic Progressive Rock, akin to Early Genesis, Yes and King Crimson
Autumn Electric was born on Interstate 5, in a now-retired Ford Econoline, dubbed "Vandalf the Grey". Fueled by Tolkien references and gas station coffee, they built a core following on the house concert and college town circuits, producing their first two albums as well as the tour-mockumentary "Tourdeo".
In 2012, their 3rd album, Make Me a Tree's title track was culled for Seattle Metro Credit Union's "HomeGrown Summer Road Trip" compilation alongside Hey Marseilles, Ravenna Woods and the Moondoggies. Two tours followed. The first, in support of Faroe Islands (EU) artist Marius Ziska's US tour, and later, The Healing Tour in 2013. Based largely around charity concerts for Healing Centers, and Hospices, the Healing Tour fit with Make Me a Tree's theme of empathy and renewal. During this time, the band spearheaded the online music charity project RobinHood in Technicolor, with a host of independent bands.
The new incarnation of the group came in 2013 with addition of Austrian guitarist Max Steiner, drummer Chris Barrios, and long-time AE collaborator and producer Johnny Unicorn on Bass. A live recording was captured from Vera Project stage at Northwest Folklife Festival of a new 21 minute, song cycle, "Orange Stars", by Seattle's Hollow Earth Radio, while a performance of "The Hermit of North Pond" was featured on KING5 News. January of 2014 came with the release of an ambitious and fresh sounding album Flowers For Ambrosia. Days after it's release, the band embarked on a 7 week tour of the US, including a stop at SXSW in Austin TX.
In June 2014 they opened Seaprog , Seattle's progressive music festival, for such Prog notables as Miriodor and Corima. Around the same time their cover of King Crimson's "Fallen Angel" was included on the compilation Seattle Rising along with Campfire Ok, The Young Evils and others. Soon afterwards. their song "Riding the Rogo" was picked for Ninkasi Brewing's "Ninkasi Better Living Compilation Vol III". Shortly after, Max Steiner moved to Germany, though he remained fully involved in the writing and recording of their 5th studio album, Star Being Earth Child. In Feb 2015 the band embarked on another, full US tour in support of the new album, taking on guitarist Josh Williams. The tour lineup was captured both during a live televised set on Plastic Jet Airline, as well as a full concert film from Royal Room in Seattle May 3rd.

In the fields where the silence
Written By: Michael Trew (Autumn Electric)
Snowpack on the porch
Dogs getting in from the cold
there's some pie on the stove
she jumps up for something warm
it's 6am, it's quiet
tuck me in. tuck me into you
and the time has come for leaving here
I'll kiss you softer than the snow
where the mountains settle down
where the white hills stretch out
down to the fields
where the silence marries you
you're a black and white photo in those boots
and it's coffee, and it's cream, winter comes soon here
and never leaves
Return to Detroit
Written By: Michael Trew
Skeletons of houses, skeletons of homes
all their vacant eyes won't leave me alone
Roll up the windows lock the doors
you're so paranoid I can't take anymore
Should I be afraid of the kids in the street
Should I just look down at my feet?
All the blue flowers, grow in the cracks of the rocks
All the blue flowers, grow in your heart when you talk
I'm going to keep it alive
A guy at the show said let's make something grow
there's a lot of young minds that can't be confined
by this deadwood
Reclaim the neighborhood, reclaim the ground
pumping Eden's blood back into Motown
This special garden will succeed
and they say take what you need
All the blue flowers, grow in the cracks of the rocks
All the blue flowers, grow in your heart when you talk
Andy, you keep it alive
Hey all you sad looking people, I can see it again
Reclaim, oh you've bought back your city with your pain
and today is your day

This is a contributed rant by someone who feels rather strongly about the issue. For me, I've dealt with 2 pimps in a 25year career who have not been cocks. Have you been burned by an agent? Anecdotes in the comments please!
There's a saying that everyone loves to hate HR. That's not true, but everyone (including HR) hates recruitment agencies.
If it isn't the way they spam your inbox with illiterate raving of the most inane degree, it's the way they call you and harass you on the phone to try and persuade you to be loyal to the one agent. They're not loyal to you and they were probably lying through their teeth throughout the whole unsolicited phone call. But you're just another jobseeker and there are only like 3 agencies in the world, right? See http://agencyshitlist.com/ for examples of agents doing it wrong.
In my experience, recruiters tend to have a poor command of the English language, both in terms of spelling and grammar. The superfluous apostrophe is a favourite, as is not making any form of sense whatsoever. I wouldn't dare use such awful English on my application for a job (or indeed when working a job), what makes it okay for the recruiters who are supposed to represent you? Surely you're going to look pretty bad when an illiterate fool writes that they have an AMAZING!!! CANDYDERT FOR YORE CUMPANY. In fact they love word AMAZING. Or OUTSTANDING. Or EXCELLENT. Any given job or contract is AMAZING OPPORTUNITY or similar. And demands every skill under the sun. And doesn't bear any relation to your own experience. And requires security clearance or something else you don't have. And is in the Outer Hebrides. For a one-man agency who thinks they're awesome because they got hired to do a website for the local chippy. For half of what you're earning now. And you should APPLY IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT. And it's always URGENT, despite that fact that it'll take them a fortnight to get back to you with an interview slot.
Assuming you read an ad for 'North London', that won't halve your income, for something that doesn't sound about as pleasant as driving a rusty nail through your testicles, you've still been duped. "North London" is the new name for Watford, which isn't even inside the M25. On the other hand if it's central london, the job probably doesn't exist and they're just fishing for candidates to fill their database. Slough is probably "West London" by now, you've been warned.
As a contractor, things are even worse. They'll never tell you the name of your potential client until the day of your meeting, they'll be taking a hundred and fifty quid a day cut and not be telling you about it (they'll even implore you not to discuss money with the company so you never discover the extortionate amount they're billing) and you'll still be treated like shit with spam filling up your inbox for permanent jobs (which you don't want) in the Outer Hebrides paying half of what you're earning for a one-man agency who thinks they're awesome because they got hired to do a website for the local chippy.

The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries, today commended the Federal Communications Commission for its vote to open a new rulemaking aimed at updating and enhancing the E-Rate. The vote follows President Obama's ConnectEd proposal last month to enhance highspeed broadband connectivity for the nation's schools and libraries.
SIIA President Ken Wasch commented: "The E-Rate program has been a critical means for the nation's schools and students to access the digital learning opportunities necessary for their success. SIIA applauds Acting Commissioner Clyburn and the Commission for their vote today to modernize and enhance the E-Rate program to better meet today's needs and to better support our nation's educational and economic competitiveness. SIIA looks forward to reviewing and responding as appropriate to the proposed rules to improve program efficiency and impact."
The E-Rate program provides discounts to public and private schools and public libraries for the purchase of telecommunications services, Internet access, and related networking equipment. The President's ConnectEd proposal calls for leveraging the E-Rate universal service program to within five years connect 99 percent of America's students through next-generation broadband (at speeds no less than 100Mbps and with a target of 1Gbps) to, and high-speed wireless within, their schools and libraries. E-Rate funding has been relatively flat at $2.25 billion since its creation in 1996, while the need for, and the demand for connectivity has grown dramatically.
About SIIA
SIIA is the leading association representing the software and digital content industries. SIIA represents approximately 700 member companies worldwide that develop software and digital information content. Information technology (IT) and software security are critical issues to SIIA's members, many of whom strive to develop safe, secure and state-of the-art products that effectively serve their commercial and government customers alike, while protecting their intellectual property.

Chuck Landon: MU, WVU standing out in FBS, statistically
Forget the New York Times best-sellers.
There is nothing on that stellar list of books that is piquing the literary interests of West Virginia-based sports fans as much as another piece of prose.
The must-read in the Mountain State?
It's the NCAA's weekly national statistics featuring the rankings of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision members.
Here's why.
Guess who is inexplicably linked at the top of the offensive statistics?
The state of West Virginia's only two FBS programs, Marshall and West Virginia University, that's who.
And guess who is equally enigmatically linked at the bottom of the defensive statistics?
That's right, the Herd and Mountaineers again.
At least statistically, it's as though the Marshall and WVU football programs were fraternal twins separated at birth.
Just peruse the NCAA statistical categories.
Passing: Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato leads the nation with 37.4 completions per game. And who is No. 2? Why, none other than WVU's Geno Smith at 35.25.
Passing Yards Per Game: Smith leads the country with 432.0 yards. Cato is No. 3 at 384.0.
Total Passing Yards: Cato is No. 1 with 1,920 yards, followed by Smith at No. 2 with 1,728.
Total Receptions: Marshall's Tommy Shuler tops the country with 51 catches. WVU's Tavon Austin is second with 48.
Receptions Per Game: Austin is No. 1 with 12.0, followed by WVU teammate Stedman Bailey at No. 2 with 10.24 and Shuler at No. 3 with 10.20.
Receiving Yards Per game: Bailey ranks No. 2 with 158.75, followed by Austin at No. 3 (140.0) and Shuler at No. 12 (106.8).
Total Receiving Yards: Bailey is No. 2 with 635. Austin at No. 6 and Shuler at No. 9 trail with 560 and 534 yards, respectively.
Passing Offense: WVU leads the nation with 441.50 yards per game. Marshall is No. 3 with 394.60.
Scoring Offense: WVU is No. 3 at 53.0 points per game, while Marshall is No. 18 at 41.0.
Total Offense: WVU is No. 3 with an average of 598.5 yards, while Marshall is No. 6 with 555.6.
First Downs: Marshall ranks fifth (30.6 per game), followed by WVU at No. 10 (27.75).
Third Down Conversions: WVU leads the country with a 60.87 percent success rate. Marshall is No. 11 at 54.02 percent.
Red Zone Offense: WVU is No. 9 at 94 percent (16 of 17). MU is No. 11 at 93 percent (25 of 27).
Then, there are the woebegone defensive stats.
Passing Defense: WVU ranks No. 118 (out of 120), allowing 495.8 yards per game. MU is No. 92 at 271.0 yards.
Total Defense: MU is No. 115 (495.8 yards allowed per game), while WVU is No. 106 (474.0).
Scoring Defense: Marshall is last in the country (120th), yielding 44.4 points per game. WVU is No. 94 (32.5 points).
Pass Efficiency Defense: WVU is No. 109 (154.2), while MU is No. 98 (146.19).
First Downs Defense: MU is No. 116 allowing 27.6 per game. WVU is No. 100 at 23.75.
Third Down Conversion: MU is No. 108, getting off the field just 48.53 percent of the time. WVU is No. 102 at 50.65 percent.
So, does any other state have two major colleges producing offensive numbers as high and defensive numbers as low?
Only West Virginia.

MaineHealth pulls out of Portland Bayside deal
PORTLAND — A $40 million project that would have put an eight-story office building and a parking garage on city land in Bayside has become a victim of the economic downturn.
MaineHealth last week announced the cancellation of the project, citing economic instability and financial uncertainty.
Bill Caron, president of MaineHealth, said in a written statement that even with new tax credits, a Housing and Urban Development grant and a favorable deal with the city, MaineHealth could not reach its financial goals.
" ... Much has changed in the past six to nine months," Caron said. "With the near collapse of the finance markets and the subsequent credit crunch, what was attractive and possible just a few months ago now carries a great deal more risk."
The city began negotiations with MaineHealth last summer following a request for proposals for the city-owned land in Bayside. The MaineHealth deal included an agreement that the company would build a parking garage the city had already designed and approved.
"We're obviously disappointed, but understand the economy has played a role in this decision," City Hall spokeswoman Nicole Clegg said. "Redevelopment of Bayside remains a priority for the city."
MaineHealth was working with United Way of Greater Portland on the Bayside project. United Way Chairman Brian Petrovek said his organization understood and accepted MaineHealth's decision to pull out.
"While we were working closely together to develop this venture, MaineHealth had a great deal more risk in this project than the United Way of Greater Portland," Petrovek said in a prepared statement.
Caron said both organizations still need to find a solution to their office space constraints, but in a cost-effective way.
" ... We have decided to step back from our efforts for a few months and reassess our needs and alternatives," he said.

Looking for a landline phone which suits your needs can be a daunting task with all the features and options available to them. To make it easier for you we have listed out some of the things to note when buying the best priced phone depending on the features present in them.
Most of the phones under $100 are the basic corded or cordless phones with all the regular features found such as call waiting, call transfer, caller ID etc. With the Dect6.0 technology and 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz frequencies, you can be assured of clearer voice quality, no fear of hacking of your conversations, less interferences from physical or wireless barriers. Typically for home use, they can also be used for business where you require intercom, speakers or call transfer for efficient and smooth operation.
Having the option of integrated answering machines makes your life easier when you are not able to respond to a call. Having a recording capability in the range of 15- 20 minutes, with correct timestamp and date along with information about the caller with clearer playback, some phones even offer slow, fast playback options in their answering machines. For economical reasons you can opt for phones in this price range which offer the reliable and most effective way of communication with an average battery life of around 10 hrs and standby time of 7- 12 days. Panasonic, VTech and Uniden are the major players in this price range.
The best landline phones in the range of $100 - $200 is for office use which offers multi lines with expansion capabilities up to 8-10 cordless phones handsets depending on the model. With the auto attendant or auto assist feature that allows you to connect to an extension handset without the help of an operator, it's a useful feature when the person is not available. 3-way teleconferencing with clients using speakerphones is an added feature available at this price range.
The top end phone models include features such as Bluetooth connectivity, larger caller ID/name storing capability, redial and speed dial options. With stylish designs, they offer comfort, ease of use, with better talk time and battery life. Some of the phones have modifications in their design to amplify the sound to help the elderly or hard of hearing people. These types of phones are generally higher priced with larger LCD display, softer keypad with lighted back light.
The best price you are willing to pay depends on your call needs. Whether it is for home or office use, with additional features is the deciding factor when opting to buy the most competitively priced landline phones present in the market.
This list of the best price phone is also applicable for the following topics:

Subject: COPYRIGHT REFORM PROCESS: Rediculous
Canada is starting to think about the USA's DMCA and try to apply it to our own country ( http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/rp01100.html ), that law that states that people aren't allowed to reverse engineer encryption or they go to jail for it. That's rediculous, instead of people improving their encryption so people can't crack it, they would rather let poor encryption go on and put people in jail for breaking it. That's rediculous. Why would I trust anything to encryption that can easily be broken? Would you use encryption that so many people have been thrown in jail for breaking? That doesn't sound safe to me. People who break encryption should be commended in showing us its weaknesses, instead of being thrown in jail because the people who made the encryption are upset that they made a poor product. It makes no sense to me.
On top of that, nobody will be able to legally back up any encrypted information. For years, it has been legal to make copies of our video and audio casettes in case we break the originals. We could make compilation tapes, we could also turn them into different formats, for example we could copy our audio tapes or CDs to our computer to make it easier to listen to, or we could copy them to portable music players. With the "COPYRIGHT REFORM PROCESS," I won't be able to copy my DVDs onto CD-ROM to play on my laptop when I go to work, because I don't have a DVD-ROM on my laptop and it would be impossible to install one due to how the CD-ROM is built-in (and why do that when I can easily copy my DVDs to CD-ROM for free?) The last thing I want to do is bring my expensive DVD player, as well as a portable TV, to work and risk getting them stolen. My laptop, I can easily carry it in my backpack on my bike, and bring a few movies with me.
Right now, it's perfectly legal for me to use what I buy in whatever way I want. In an after-market situation, I can do whatever I please with what I own. However, with the "COPYRIGHT REFORM PROCESS," it will restrict the rights I have. I won't have the right to put my DVDs in whatever format I find suits me best, I won't be able to watch them where I want, when I want, instead the DVD encryption will control what I will be able to do with what I've already paid for. I won't be able to make a backup in case the original gets scratched or broken, or in case I want to preserve the original and only play the backup, I won't be able to put it in a format which I'm able to bring to and play at work.
I don't like this one bit. It has no advantages. I don't get it. It's pointless, and takes away my rights. I oppose this.

Relax in one of the many different seating areas over food and drinks with friends, family or with a book. To cool off, step into the adjoining infinity pool. The pool is cleansed by an Ozone system, which uses 90% less chlorine.

The villa is pretty. The experience of getting there and dealing with Gusti, the manager, was a bit awkward. I booked and paid 2 nights through airbnb, upon checkout, the manager passed us an itemized bill that included the fees for one night (even though this was already paid). I showed him the receipt of payment and he deleted the item without a problem. Just a bit inconvenient if one is not looking closely to the final bill. You cannot use a local taxi to get here for the first time, as the villa is actually called Naya (not Lumbung), and there are no signs on the street (or the villa) that point to the actual place. Basically impossible to find if you have not been here before. The taxi we used from the hotel (Made) was very very very nice and helpful. It costed 60 Rps to or back from Ubud. The chef prepares delicious breakfasts (60 Rps) and the cleaning staff is very friendly. The pool is phenomenal. The dates available on the airbnb calendar are not always accurate. Before booking the room, I booked a few other rooms of the villa that appeared to be available, but upon booking these were not available. It took me 3 tries to get a room at the villa.

About the Host, Rebecca
Hello ~
My name is Rebecca Pflaum and I am a Kundalini Inspired Yoga teacher, mother of four sons, a regular face teaching at the BaliSpirit Festival, and the owner of Naya.
For years I have dreamt of creating a space, a home for others to gather and to reconnect with their potentials, wisdom and gifts. A place where teachers, healers, musicians and dreamers can realize and share all that they have to offer. A sacred space for deep inner transformations, healing and those cherished AHA moments.
We live in a time where more and more people understand the importance and crave to connect with that which resonates as Truth and is authentic in supporting a sustainable and nurturing lifestyle. The more we come together to create, encourage and support each other to be the best that we can be, the more all that is around us will prosper as well.
Naya is your home away from home, a beautiful oasis for coming home to yourself. Allow yourself to participate in one of her many empowering and beautiful retreats, nourishing meals, soulful gatherings offering song and dance or just come and be still and soak in the healing surroundings of her nature and beauty.
I am so thrilled to welcome you to Naya.

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell issued the following statement regarding the nomination of Ron Binz to lead the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC):
"Ron Binz has been handpicked by the Senate Majority Leader to be another foot soldier in his and this Administration's War on Coal. Like the Majority Leader, Binz has a proven track record of hostility toward coal and other traditional fossil fuels. Representing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and thousands of hard working coal miners and their families, I cannot support Binz's nomination as the next chairman of FERC. His nomination is yet another threat to American energy and jobs and I will work to defeat it."

The fundamental reason why sustainable development is a difficult pursuit to attend is because POVERTY is its obstacle/barrier. Poverty is a multidimensional and multifaceted problem. It goes beyond just income. It has social, economic, political, and environmentalimplications, in that it affects people's rights, power relations, and access to resources. It has historical, geographical as well as social causes. Poverty has different classifications, by gender, social status, age, location, educational level, family size, and occupation.
The five (5) big factors of poverty are ignorance, diseases, dishonesty, apathy, and dependency(DADDI).The strategies and methods for tackling poverty have a universal applicability, as can be found in the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agenda. MDGs range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS, empowering women,and to providing universal primary education, all by 2015. The MDGs blueprint has been agreed to by all the world's leading development institutions.
Poverty as a Social Problem:
We have all felt a shortage of cash at times. That is an individual experience. It is not the same as the social problem of poverty. While money is a measure of wealth, lack of cash can be a measure of lack of wealth, but it is not the social problem of poverty.
Poverty as a social problem is a deeply embedded wound that permeates every dimension of cultureand society. It includes sustained low levels of income for members of a community. It includes a lack of access to services like education, markets, health care, lack of decision making ability, and lack of communal facilities like water, sanitation, roads, transportation, and communications. Furthermore, it is a "poverty of spirit," that allows members of that community to believe in and share despair, hopelessness, apathy, and timidity. Poverty, especially the factors that contribute to it, is a social problem, and its solution is social.
I would like you to know that we cannot fight poverty by alleviating its symptoms, but only by attacking the factors of poverty. This presentation describes the "Big Five" factors that contribute to the social problem of poverty and how business innovation can solve this problem.
The simple transfer of funds, even if it is to the victims of poverty, will not eradicate or reduce poverty. It will merely alleviate the symptoms of poverty in the short run. It is not a durable solution. Poverty as a social problem calls for a social solution through empowerment and business innovation. That solution is the clear, conscious and deliberate removal of the big five factors of poverty.
The big five factors of poverty (as a social problem) that are listed here, ignorance, disease,dishonesty, apathy, and dependency, are to be seen simply as conditions. No moral judgment is intended. They are not good or bad, they just are. If it is the decision of a group of people, as in a society or in a community, to reduce and remove poverty, they will have to, without value judgment, observe and identify these factors, and take action to remove them as the way to eradicate poverty.
The big five, in turn, contribute to secondary factors such as lack of markets, poor infrastructure, poor leadership, bad governance, under-employment, lack of skills, absenteeism, lack of capital, and others. Each of these are social problems, each of them are caused by one or more of the big five, and each of them contribute to the perpetuation of poverty, and their eradication is necessary for the removal of poverty.
Let us look briefly at each of the big five in turn.
Ignorance means having a lack of information, or lack of knowledge. It is different from stupidity which is lack of intelligence, and different from foolishness which is lack of wisdom. The three are often mixed up and assumed to be the same by some people. "Knowledge is power," goes the old saying. Unfortunately, some people, knowing this, try to keep knowledge to themselves (as a strategy of obtaining an unfair advantage), and hinder others from obtaining knowledge. Do not expect that if you train someone in a particular skill, or provide some information, that the information or skill will naturally trickle or leak into the rest of a community.
When a community has a high disease rate, absenteeism is high, productivity is low, and less wealth is created. Apart from the misery, discomfort and death that results from disease, it is also a major factor in poverty in a community. Being well (well-being) not only helps the individuals who are healthy, it contributes to the eradication of poverty in the community.
Here, as elsewhere, prevention is better than cure. It is one of the basic tenets of PHC (primary health care). The economy is much healthier if the population is always healthy; more so than if people get sick and have to be treated. Health contributes to the eradication of poverty more in terms of access to safe and clean drinking water, separation of sanitation from the water supply, knowledge of hygiene and disease prevention — much more than clinics, doctors and drugs, which are costly curative solutions rather than prevention against disease.
Apathy is when people do not care, or when they feel so powerless that they do not try to change things, to right a wrong, to fix a mistake, or to improve conditions.
Sometimes, some people feel so unable to achieve something, they are jealous of their family relatives or fellow members of their community who attempt to do so. Then they seek to bring the attempting achiever down to their own level of poverty. Apathy breeds apathy.
When resources that are intended to be used for community services or facilities, are diverted into the private pockets of someone in a position of power, there is more than morality at stake here. In this training series, we are not making a value judgment that it is good or bad. We are pointing out, however, that it is a major cause of poverty. Dishonesty among persons of trust and power. The amount stolen from the public, that is received and enjoyed by the individual, is far less than the decrease in wealth that was intended for the public.
The amount of money that is extorted or embezzled is not the amount of lowering of wealth to the community. Economists tell of the "multiplier effect." Where new wealth is invested, the positive effect on the economy is more than the amount created. When investment money is taken out of circulation, the amount of wealth by which the community is deprived is greater than the amount gained by the embezzler. When a Government official takes a 100 dollar bribe, social investment is decreased by as much as a 400 dollar decrease in the wealth of the society.
Dependency results from being on the receiving end of charity. In the short run, as after a disaster, that charity may be essential for survival. In the long run, that charity can contribute to the possible demise of the recipient, and certainly too ongoing poverty.
It is an attitude, a belief, that one is so poor, so helpless, that one cannot help one's self, that a group cannot help itself, and that it must depend on assistance from outside. The attitude, and shared belief is the biggest self justifying factor in perpetuating the condition where the self or group must depend on outside help.
These five factors are not independent of one another. Disease contributes to ignorance and apathy. Dishonesty contributes to disease and dependency. And so on. They each contribute to each other.
In any social change process, we are encouraged to"think globally, act locally." The Big Five factors of poverty appear to be widespread and deeply embedded in cultural values and practices. We may mistakenly believe that any of us, at our small level of life, can do nothing about them.
Do not despair. If each of us makes a personal commitment to fight the factors of poverty at whatever station in life we occupy, then the sum total of all of us doing it, and the multiplier effect of our actions on others, will contribute to the decay of those factors, and the ultimate victory over poverty.
Empowerment is the process of increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and to transform those choices into desired actions and outcomes. Central to this process are actions which both build individual and collective assets, and improve the efficiency and fairness of the organizational and institutional context which govern the use of these assets.
One of the most effective ways of solving poverty is empowering individuals with small scale business, the popular saying "give me no fish but teach me to fish" is very applicable to solving poverty problems in our community.
My analysis, findings and views may lack the proficiency of the highest expectation, as my career pathway is Engineering, Development studies and Public policy-Analysis. My message to Africa and Africans is "Ensure Community Solutions through Community Actions for Community Development".

Army Strong Teams of Week 10
2008-12-01 00:00:00
Class 5A: Katy Cinco RanchIt was a night of firsts for the Cinco Ranch Cougars. The 27-21 overtime win over defending state champion Katy High marked the school's first-ever win over their cross-town rivals. It also marked Cinco Ranch's first-ever district title in football.
Class 4A: Rockwall-HeathThe Hawks won the District 10-4A battle of the unbeatens by defeating Highland Park in a 38-31 thriller. The win snapped Highland Park's 47-regular-season-game winning streak.
Class 3A: LorenaThe Leopards' road to the 2008 playoffs required a win over District 19-3A front-runner Waco La Vega. Lorena got it done the hard way with a 20-13 upset.
Class 2A: MoodyThe Bearcats shocked the 28-point-favorite Crawford Pirates 27-13. The win keeps knocked Crawford  a 2007 regional quarterfinalist  out of the playoff race.
Class 1A: GrapelandThe Sandies honored their 11 seniors properly on senior night with a 27-20 upset win over Cayuga. The win snares Grapeland a share of the 20-1A district title.
Six-Man: Lamesa KlondikeComing into this season the Klondike Cougars had not won a district game since 2003. Following the 62-44 upset of Loop, Klondike clinched the district's final playoff spot.
Private Schools: Houston St. John'sThe Mavericks grabbed a little momentum heading into the offseason with a 36-33 win over Dallas Greenhill. It marked their first win of the season and should give them something to build on.

Wine for adults only
White Heron Cellars Merlot is not for kids.
White Heron owner Cameron Fries doesn't mess around with light, soda pop wines. The Swiss-trained winemaker makes wine the old-fashioned European way with plenty of heft, substantial tannins and the taste of the stark, sage-brush environment that weakly nurtures his struggling vines.
I opened a bottle of his 2007 Mariposa Vineyard Merlot the other night and was astonished by its inky darkness and intense ripe flavors. It seemed almost too intense at first and didn't really work with the salmon fillet I had cooked that night.
I corked the half-full bottle and decided to let it breathe until the next day when I could cook something that would better match its weight and strength.
A small top sirloin steak cooked simply in cast iron with mushrooms sauteed in butter and a skillet-fried Yukon Gold potato with onion and crumbled bacon proved to be a much better pairing, bringing out the merlot's full, ripe blackberry, dried prune and tobacco flavors.
Grapes for this wine certainly lingered on the vine until the last moment to achieve this kind of intensity, yet at no expense to acidity. That's something Fries says is the wonderful quality of his south-facing vineyard site above the Columbia River near Trinidad and at the northwestern edge of the Ancient Lakes AVA.
A crisp green salad with crumbly queso cotija and vinegar and oil dressing finished the meal and softened the last sips of wine like a satisfying balsamic topped dessert.
This is a wine that really improves with air after a long opening. I'm glad I took the time to fully appreciate it and look forward to the next bottle that comes my way.

Nathaniel Broadway
A Gray man was arrested Wednesday on a charge that he stole more than $1,000 worth of merchandise from a Johnson City Walmart last year.
Johnson City police said Nathaniel Broadway, 25, 5727 Kingsport Hwy., Gray, was developed as a suspect after Jonesborough police stopped a vehicle on Aug. 7 and found the stolen items during a consensual search.
The items were believed to have been stolen from the Walmart at 2915 W. Market St., and loss prevention employees identified the property as coming from their store. The items were valued at $1,002.85.
A warrant was issued for Broadway's arrest. Johnson City police found him on Wednesday. He was jailed in the Washington County Detention Center on $10,000 bond pending a Sessions Court appearance Thursday.comments powered by Disqus

Surrender to the vibe, twang, and coolness of this rare limited-edition signature model.
1955 brought the world such classic songs as "Rock Around the Clock" and "Ain't That A Shame." That same year the Gretsch Company produced an instrument with the same timeless qualities. From the Gretsch Custom Shop comes a reproduction of that guitar—the G6120DSW-R Chet Atkins 1955 Relic. A limited edition, only 50 guitars will be produced. Gently distressed to look like a trusty guitar companion that has seen many miles with you, your first encounter with this luscious guitar's vibrant lacquer-finished 3-ply maple body will surely resonate deep down to your soul.
Re-creating the complex rich tones of the original are a pair of Seymour Duncan DynaSonic pickups with the string vibrations being transferred via a rosewood-based, aluminum-compensated Bigsby bridge. Not only will the vintage-style parallel bracing and sound post satisfy sonically, the coolness factor of the "G" branded body and western motif may result in your just opening the case and staring at this U.S.-made Gretsch guitar for hours.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

One of the most frequent questions that transfer students have is what biology elective courses can they transfer. The answer is none. All biology elective courses (with or without lab) required for the biology degree at Rutgers-Camden are 300-level courses. Community colleges do not offer 300 level courses.

Trivium will be performing at this year's Download Festival in the UK, which they've done many times in the past. This year's show is something special for diehard fans, though; they'll be playing the smallest stage at the festival, in the tent, and they'll be performing the exact same set they offered the first time they were on the bill, in 2005, supporting Ascendancy (though they'll probably play some new songs, too). In the interview above, Matt Heafy and Paolo Gregoletto talk about that first appearance, what they're anticipating from this year's set (in a word: insanity), and more. They also answer fan questions. Watch now!

- Hindman's Hat Trick Leads Bearcats Over Whitworth 5-1

Hindman's Hat Trick Leads Bearcats Over Whitworth 5-1
SPOKANE, WA — Brenna Hindman scored three goals as the Willamette University women's soccer team (8-5-2 overall, 6-4-1 NWC) defeated Whitworth, 5-1, Saturday afternoon in a Northwest Conference match at Spokane.
The loss by second-place Whitworth deals its NWC title hopes a huge blow. The University of Puget Sound leads the NWC with a 10-1 record going into this weekend's contests.
Jessica Lammers got the Bearcats on top early when she headed in a free kick by Laura Uhlmansiek in the 9th minute.
After Rachel Leavitt tied the game for Whitworth (10-4-1, 9-2-1 NWC) in the 22nd minute, Hindman scored the first of her hat trick when her shot hit the post past Pirate keeper Jenn Miller.
Uhlmansiek scored just after halftime, connecting on a free kick in the 51st minute for a 3-1 Willamette lead. Hindman's second goal in the 66th minute was unassisted. Her third goal came off an assist by Naomi Baez in the 78th minute.
Whitworth out-shot the Bearcats 17-11. Willamette had only four shots in the second half and scored on three of them.
Willamette goalie Kari Woody recorded six saves.
The Bearcats play at Whitman Sunday afternoon.

Stoke City: No old pals act for Columbus Crew's Chris Birchall as he goes gunning for Andy Wilkinson
Posted: July 24, 2012|
COLUMBUS midfielder Chris Birchall would love to get bragging rights over his best mate Andy Wilkinson.
Birchall, from Yarnfield near Stone, will be in the Columbus Crew line-up for Stoke's opening pre-season friendly in the United States (12.30am UK time).
The 28-year-old former Port Vale midfielder expects a bit of friendly banter with the Stoke fans who have made the trip.
However, he is looking forward to hearing a few familiar North Staffordshire accents, not least that of his pal Wilkinson.

Birchall said: "Of the 25 Stoke players who are coming here, I must know 15 to 20 of them just to say hello to – and a good five to 10 of them who I am really close to.
"My best man and my best friend is the right-back.
"They are looking forward to it – and are dreading the weather.
"I keep saying it's 100 degrees so I am getting them scared!
"Stoke are in pre-season so it is all fitness for them.
"For us, it's one of those games you want to play in and, for me, I couldn't have picked a better team to play against.
"I haven't played against Stoke for five or six years from when I was at Coventry.
"It's always nice when I do. I get abuse from their fans because I played for the rivals Port Vale when I was younger.
"But they are a great team and hopefully there will be a good crowd."
Not that Birchall expects his best pal Wilkinson to go easy on him, friendly fixture or not.
He added: "There are always wagers between me and my friend saying we are going to put tackles in and kill each other!
"But it will be nice for them to come to town."
Birchall limbered up for tonight's game in some style as he scored a second-half winner for 'The Crew' against their old rivals DC United at the weekend.
That was the midfielder's first goal for Columbus since joining them from LA Galaxy for this season.
The win ended a run of three defeats in four matches for Columbus and leaves them sixth out of 10 teams in the MLS Eastern Conference.
Birchall is enjoying life in the Ohio city of Columbus.
He admits it is a little quieter than Los Angeles, but says it reminds him of home in North Staffordshire – minus the oatcakes.
He said: "Los Angeles is a great place to live, but it was so much busier and more congested than I was used to.
"I was used to Stoke which is similar to Columbus, a quiet city, not much going on, but home is where you grew up and Stoke is my home.
"Los Angeles and Columbus are certainly two different-sized cities.
"There's a beach in Los Angeles and the guys tended to go there after training to hang out.
"You don't have that here, it is more of a suburban neighbourhood.
"But one thing I have really noticed is the friendliness of the people here.
"Neighbours greet you every morning asking how you are and really wanting to know how your day is.
"I am used to that because I am from Stoke and that is a small city as well."

By Army Staff Sgt. Paul Evans77th Sustainment Brigade
JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq, Nov. 1, 2011 The Saunders brothers have plenty in common -- they're twins, and they're both Kentucky National Guard soldiers serving together in Iraq.
Army Sgt. Jonas Saunders, a 25-year-old communications specialist with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 149th Infantry Regiment, 310th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, said he's glad to serve in Iraq with his brother, Army Cpl. Jason Saunders, an infantryman with the battalion's Alpha Company.
Jonas, who joined the Guard in 2005, said he enlisted due to the encouragement of Jason, a vehicle commander for Company A, who joined the Guard in 2004.
As for deploying together, the twin brothers, who both hail from Barbourville, Ky. said they are OK with the idea, especially since they know what to expect.
"We did it once before, when the 149th deployed [to Iraq] in 2006," Jonas said.
Yet, Jason said, it's hard not knowing where his brother is sometimes, or knowing "if he's OK."
In the end, the brothers said, every little thing helps a soldier's morale while serving in Iraq.
For these two brothers, they added, a big morale boost comes from knowing they're serving together.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Prosecutors say a Cedar Rapids inmate made phone calls falsely claiming to have knowledge of the whereabouts of the missing Iowa cousins.
Federal prosecutors say in a filing that Shawn Gant called the U.S. Attorney's Office in August and September and left messages claiming to know the location of Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins and that "they would never be found."
The filing says the calls were traced to a phone in the Linn County Jail and video confirmed Gant made them.
FBI agents interviewed Gant in September, and he denied knowing anything about the girls or the calls.
Gant faces sentencing Thursday for a series of arsons in northeastern Iowa. A prosecutor says Gant's false claims show a "propensity to engage in criminal conduct" and justifies a longer sentence.
