22 U.S. Code § 2169 - Multilateral, regional, and bilateral programs
prev | next
(a) Multilateral programs
The Congress recognizes that the planning and administration of development assistance by, or under the sponsorship of the United Nations, multilateral lending institutions, and other multilateral organizations may contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of that assistance through participation of other donors in the development effort, improved coordination of policies and programs, pooling of knowledge, avoidance of duplication of facilities and manpower, and greater encouragement of self-help performance.
(b) Regional programs
It is further the sense of the Congress
(1) that where problems or opportunities are common to two or more countries in a region, in such fields as agriculture, education, transportation, communications, power, watershed development, disease control, and establishment of development banks, these countries often can more effectively resolve such problems and exploit such opportunities by joining together in regional organizations or working together on regional programs,
(2) that assistance often can be utilized more efficiently in regional programs than in separate country programs, and
(3) that to the maximum extent practicable consistent with the purposes of this chapter assistance under this chapter should be furnished so as to encourage less developed countries to cooperate with each other in regional development programs.
(c) Federal funds to multilateral lending institutions and multilateral organizations for loans to foreign countries; increase
It is the sense of the Congress that the President should increase, to the extent practicable, the funds provided by the United States to multilateral lending institutions and multilateral organizations in which the United States participates for use by such institutions and organizations in making loans to foreign countries.

Policy With Respect to Countries Most Seriously Affected by Food Shortages; Presidential Reports to Congress
Pub. L. 93–559, § 55(a),Dec. 30, 1974, 88 Stat. 1819, provided that: "The United Nations has designated thirty-two countries as 'Most Seriously Affected' by the current economic crisis. These are countries without the internal food production capability or the foreign exchange availability to secure food to meet their immediate food requirements. The Congress calls upon the President and Secretary of State to take the following actions designed to mobilize appropriate resources to meet the food emergency:
"(1) Review and make appropriate adjustments in the level of programming of our food and fertilizer assistance programs with the aim of increasing to the maximum extent feasible the volume of food and fertilizer available to those countries most seriously affected by current food shortages.
"(2) Call upon all traditional and potential new donors of food, fertilizer, or the means of financing these commodities to immediately increase their participation in efforts to address the emergency food needs of the developing world.
"(3) Make available to these most seriously affected countries the maximum feasible volume of food commodities, with appropriate regard to the current domestic price and supply situations.
"(4) Maintain regular and full consultation with the appropriate committees of the Congress and report to the Congress and the Nation on steps which are being taken to help meet this food emergency. In accordance with this provision, the President shall report to the Congress on a global assessment of food needs for fiscal year 1975, specifying expected food grain deficits and currently planned programming of food assistance, and steps which are being taken to encourage other countries to increase their participation in food assistance or the financing of food assistance. Such report should reach the Congress promptly and should be supplemented quarterly for the remainder of fiscal year 1975.
"(5) The Congress directs that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975, not more than 30 percent of concessional food aid should be allocated to countries other than those which are most seriously affected by current food shortages, unless the President demonstrates to the appropriate Committees of the Congress that the use of such food assistance is solely for humanitarian food purposes.
"(6) The Congress calls upon the President to proceed with the implementation of resolutions and recommendations adopted by the World Food Conference. The Congress believes that it is incumbent upon the United States to take a leading role in assisting in the development of a viable and coherent world food policy which would begin the task of alleviating widespread hunger and suffering prevalent in famine-stricken nations. The President shall report to the Congress within 120 days of enactment of this Act [Dec. 30, 1974] on the implementation of the resolutions and the extent to which the United States is participating in the implementation of resolutions adopted at the World Food Conference."

Even the sun came out to celebrate the opening of the new Sammamish Library on the morning of Saturday, January 9.
January 2010
The new Sammamish Library opened with a record crowd. More than 750 people streamed into the Library when the doors opened on Saturday, January 9. Mayor Don Gerend joined KCLS Board member Jim Wigfall to officially dedicate the new building. The fireplace was operating and the jazz band was playing in the meeting room without interrupting the crowd that filled every part of the building. Library staff members report that the building received rave reviews during the first few weeks of operation.
December 2009
Construction of the new Sammamish Library is nearing completion, with an opening celebration set for Saturday, January 9, 2010, 10am. After a ribbon-cutting ceremony, residents may tour the new facility and enjoy refreshments and musical entertainment.
November 2009
Construction of the new library continues and the project is on schedule. The new library will open to the public with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house on Saturday, January 9, 10am.
October 2009
Construction of the new Sammamish Library continues and the opening of the new Library is tentatively set for January 9, 2010. The former Library building will be sold to the City of Sammamish.
September 2009
Since construction of the new library is anticipated to be finished by the end of the year, KCLS is determining what to do with the current library building. The KCLS Board is considering an intergovernmental sale of the property to the city of Sammamish. City officials recently stated that they are willing to meet KCLS' requirement of paying 90% of the average of three recent appraisals on the property. Once the sale is finalized, the proceeds will be used for KCLS capital expenditures. The sale is on the agenda for the September Board meeting, as the Board previously declared the property surplus.
August 2009
Construction of the new Sammamish Library is still under way and on schedule. Since the new Library will open at the end of the year, KCLS is determining what to do with the former Library building. The KCLS Board will be considering an intergovernmental sale of the property to the city of Sammamish at the September Board meeting.
July 2009
Construction is currently underway and on schedule. Opening of the new library is targeted for January 2010.

Construction of the new 19,500 square foot library continues, with an anticipated completion date of February 2010.
January 2009
Construction of the new Library started on January 16, 2009. The City of Sammamish is interested in acquiring the old Library, as are a number of other public and private organizations in the area. The City would like to see it used as a teen center. However, the City's parks levy, which would have funded the acquisition, did not pass in November. KCLS needs to receive fair market compensation for the property and is exploring various options.
December 2008
The Sammamish Library groundbreaking was attended by more than 250 community members. Deputy Mayor Don Gerend, who served on the architect selection committee for the project, represented the City of Sammamish at the ceremony. Several other City officials and City Council members Kathy Huckabay and Mark Cross were present, saying that the new library will be a great addition to the City Hall and commons area. The new Library will be in a prime location, in close proximity to three high schools and also with views of downtown Seattle. Construction will begin in January and the new Library is anticipated to open in 2010.
November 2008
Sierra Construction was the low bidder for the Sammamish Library construction project and was awarded the project. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new library, which is next to the new City Hall, will be held on Thursday, December 4, 3pm.
October 2008
The Library project documents are available for general contractors' bid preparation and are due by October 30. A groundbreaking celebration will be held on Thursday, December 4, 3pm.

August 2008
The Library plans are being reviewed by City of Sammamish staff. Bid documents are anticipated to be issued in September and construction may start as soon as October 2008.
July 2008
KCLS and the City of Sammamish completed the sale of the property on Sammamish Commons on July 17, 2008. Meanwhile, the Library's site use permit and building permit applications are being reviewed by City staff. KCLS hopes to receive any final City staff comments by the end of August. KCLS Staff and consultants are preparing documents for public bidding in September 2008. If everything continues on schedule, construction could start in October 2008.
June 2008
The design team recently submitted a permit review plan set to the City of Sammamish. A site development application for the project was previously submitted and is still pending. The two permits are anticipated to be received at approximately the same time.
May 2008
Design work is progressing on the Library and parking project at Sammamish Commons. The consultant team is preparing the construction documents in anticipation of issuing a permit set for the City to review. A site development permit is currently being reviewed by the City. KCLS' current schedule includes issuing a bid set for contractors in June 2008.
April 2008
Design work is progressing on the library and parking project at Sammamish Commons. The consultant team is preparing the construction documents needed for the building permit application and a site development permit is currently being reviewed by the City. The current timeline includes issuing a bid for contractors in July 2008. It is hoped that the permit review comments and the final steps in the city review process will be completed by July 2008.
March 2008
KCLS has finalized the purchase agreement with the City of Sammamish for the new Sammamish Library property. At a recent Kiwanis meeting, during which the design of the new Library was presented, Sammamish Mayor Lee Fellinge agreed that the Library development will be a great addition to the City Hall and Park complex. The consultant team continues to work through the construction documents and specifications with the intent to submit for a building permit in May 2008. If all goes as planned, the site development and the building permits could be obtained as soon as July 2008. KCLS anticipates beginning construction in fall 2008.
February 2008
The design development plans for the new Library and parking on Sammamish Commons have been completed by the architectural team led by Perkins + Will, Inc. The building design includes 19,500 square feet of space for the Library and parking for 68 vehicles. A site development permit application from the City of Sammamish was submitted and the design team continues to work on refining and further developing the documents in anticipation of applying for a building permit in May 2008. KCLS and City of Sammamish staff is working to complete the purchase and sale agreement for the parcel on the Sammamish Commons.
January 2008
The schematic design plans for the new Sammamish Library are progressing and are expected to be complete by mid-December. The building is approximately 19,500 square feet and above-ground and below-ground parking will accommodate 68 vehicles. Next steps include applying for a site development permit from the City of Sammamish, finalizing the design development plans and completing a purchase and sale agreement with the City for the parcel.
December 2007
The schematic design plans for the new Library and parking at Sammamish Commons are progressing and are expected to be completed in December.
November 2007
The preliminary design plans for the new library and parking on Sammamish Commons are progressing and are expected to be completed by mid-December. The building is approximately 19,500 square feet and includes parking for 68 vehicles. A public meeting about the general location and design of the Sammamish Library drew more than 50 residents on November 7, 2007. The community was generally pleased with the location of the new library at a new development adjacent to Sammamish City Hall. With three high schools in the immediate vicinity there was much discussion about the need for enough room and resources for students at the new library. Residents were urged to encourage the City to keep up momentum on this project so that a building permit can be issued and construction can start next summer.
October 2007
KCLS and city of Sammamish staff are finalizing a purchase agreement for land to build a new library, after the Sammamish City Council voted to officially offer the City Hall site property to KCLS for the development of a new library. The offer is significant because it allows KCLS to officially begin planning and designing the building. The architect was given a notice to proceed to design a 19,000 square foot library with parking both under the building and adjacent to the library building. A community meeting on November 7 will allow citizens to see preliminary site designs and offer comments and suggestions. The Council attached a number of conditions to their vote, which will be negotiated in the process of working out the formal legal agreement. However, the spirit of the vote was such that both the Library and the City are convinced that an appropriately sized library can be developed on the site within the resources available to KCLS.
September 2007
KCLS is working with the city to build a new 19,000 to 20,000 square foot library adjacent to the Sammamish City Hall. The Capital Plan Strategy accounts for the current cost of constructing this library with underground parking. Preliminary designs and budgets are being reviewed for feasibility because although the site offers a considerable amount of existing infrastructure, site costs will run almost $2 million. Given the history of the site and environmental issues that have been raised by members of the community, some underground parking will be necessary to avoid legal challenges. The site does, however, give better access than the current library as Sammamish continues to be one of KCLS' busiest libraries and the current building is often overwhelmed by the number of patrons. The City Hall site is close to three high schools and offers the possibility of creating a great public space combined with the existing City Hall, a large public plaza and a very large public park.
August 2007
The City's Master Site Plan process will be finalized this month. The position of the library should remain along the southern flank of the public plaza on the Sammamish Commons site. KCLS will proceed to plan and design for a 20,000-square-foot library with required parking and landscaping with the architectural firm Perkins + Will.
July 2007
At the end of the three-month effort to plan for the development of a 20,000-square-foot Sammamish Library and YMCA facility with City Hall and a major park, the City of Sammamish reviewed the Master Site Plan and guidelines with the City Council. Following a major fireworks program at the park on July 4, they determined that the library should not be built in such a way that it reduces the size of the plaza. Because this was contrary to the master plan and would reposition the library to its original location in the Commons, Sammamish asked KCLS to wait until they rezone the site so retail or other uses could be co-located with the library. With costs increasing at $70,000 per month, KCLS told the City that we will proceed with the design we can afford based on current cost estimates. The City Manager will consult with the Council at their September meeting to determine whether the City will still offer to sell us the property. Our only alternative would be to expand the library at its current site.
June 2007
The City of Sammamish reviewed the Master Site Plan and guidelines for the new library and YMCA on the Sammamish Commons site on June 18. The Council was generally supportive of the plan favored by KCLS, which allows for the library to be developed independent of the YMCA. We will now proceed with the building design and address any site issues. We will also negotiate with the City for a purchase of the property. Architects Perkins + Will did a good job describing the plans and the alternatives. The City is equally committed to the YMCA, but their process may take longer before they are able to begin.
March 2007
The new Sammamish Library may end up being a partnership of a different nature with the City of Sammamish. With our newly hired architects, Perkins + Will, KCLS will embark on a master planning process for the Sammamish Commons site. There will be no formal agreement with the City regarding acquisition of our portion of the property until the study is completed (estimated to occur in June). Ultimately, it will give us an opportunity to share the costs of some infrastructure with the other partners.
February 2007
On February 23, KCLS selected an architect for the Sammamish Library project. We were pleased to find out that City Councilmember Don Gerend will participate in the selection process. The Sammamish City Council is preparing to finalize an agreement for the property intended for the new library. This project has potential for partnering with other service agencies and the City. For that reason, KCLS will be participate in developing a master site plan, which would look at parking, access and traffic circulation, surface water management and design considerations. The process should be complete by mid-June and will coordinate well with the architect selection and design processes.
January 2007
Architect submittals have been received for these new projects. Interviews are anticipated in February.
December 2006
KCLS staff has been negotiating with the City on the purchase terms and conditions of the property adjacent to the new City Hall. While the City's current zoning does not allow for co-development of the site with commercial or retail partners, there are thoughts that another community-based activity might be co-located near the library. In any case, we assured the City that it was our intention to keep the project moving forward and for the time being, will assume no other partners on the site.
KCLS will select the architects for the Kenmore and Sammamish libraries at the same time, as we did with the Newcastle and Duvall libraries. A call for proposals was made and submittals are due in January. Since there has been great interest in both of these projects, KCLS plans to work with the local Friends of the Library to advertise for residents to serve on the architect selection teams. Each City will have a team that includes a representative of the City, a representative from the Friends, another community member, a KCLS staff member and a KCLS Trustee.
November 2006
KCLS and City staff is working finalizing a purchase agreement for the Sammamish Commons site.
October 2006
Sammamish City Hall and an entrance to a large new City park are significant features of the Sammamish Commons development at 228th Avenue and SE 8th Street. After extensive investigation of other sites in the area for the new Sammamish Library, as well as a full analysis of the pros and cons of building at the Sammamish Commons versus expanding the current library, KCLS staff will recommend that the new Sammamish Library be sited at the Sammamish Commons. All other properties in Sammamish were too expensive and/or required significant time to work through environmental issues. Two issues prohibit KCLS from expanding the current library: the construction budget does not allow KCLS to produce a well-designed and cohesive building and the site has severe access limitations as cars going northbound on 228th cannot turn left into the library lot. According to Sammamish City staff, the Sammamish Commons site is also preferred by the City Council. The City has been very helpful during KCLS' deliberations. The preliminary indication is that the site will be affordable. Also, building the library on a new site will allow KCLS to sell the current library to buffer rising construction costs. If the KCLS Board and City Council approve this transaction, KCLS can begin the architect selection process immediately.
September 2006
The Sammamish Commons site for the new Sammamish Library continues to be an elusive goal. Based on the dramatic rise in construction costs and the spatial constraints of that site, KCLS has concerns about the ability to develop a 20,000-square-foot library at that location. Underground parking would be necessary, which makes that option more expensive; however, there are few alternative sites that meet KCLS' requirements. Those that do are extremely expensive. We have committed to giving City officials, who have been very cooperative, an indication about the site in the near future. An analysis has been conducted of a 20,000 and 22,500-square-foot Sammamish Library. In looking at the City population, service area population and registered borrowers, a 20,000-square-foot library would put Sammamish near the top of list for square foot per capita of all KCLS Libraries. Only Redmond has a higher ratio on the combined ranking. Again, KCLS will be challenged to accomplish the 20,000-square-foot building in the current construction environment.
July 2006
Consultants have completed the pre-design study for the Sammamish Commons site adjacent to the new city hall facility. This location will meet our minimum site requirements, but is costly due to extensive site work and under building parking construction that would be necessary, which adds significantly to the cost. At the City's suggestion, other sites are being explored to see if an equitable site could be developed less expensively. The process of evaluating the value of the current library is also underway. Interest in acquiring the land and the building has been expressed from parties other than the City of Sammamish.
June 2006
Staff is involved in productive meetings with the City of Sammamish about the new library. KCLS agreed to continue its due diligence on the Sammamish Commons site. So far, however, it appears there are a number of steps the City will have to take to make this site viable. We do not know the cost and it appears that underground parking may be the only way to build a library of 20,000-square-feet or more on the site. A study about the appropriate size of the library for the community is also being conducted. The City would like to assure the community that whatever size library is built, it will be large enough for the current and future City of Sammamish. With advice from the City, KCLS is also keeping an eye out for other possible sites that would aid in building as large a library as possible.
The site is constrained and will either require beneath building parking or arrangements with a neighboring property owner for overflow for library Use. Discussion continues with the City to develop the site to its maximum potential. The location is near the new City Hall and park near the intersection of 228th Avenue SE and SE 4th Street.
May 2006
KCLS staff has taken steps toward investigating the development of a new Sammamish Library on the property next to the new Sammamish City Hall known as the Sammamish Commons. The City of Sammamish has not yet completed an assessment of the property so it is unknown how much it will cost. Also, the initial investigation of the Sammamish Commons site revealed the requirement that any development on the property may only cover 30% of the land. Since the City is keen on KCLS developing a library larger than the planned 20,000-square-foot building slated in the Board-approved Capital Plan, that stipulation is troubling. The City of Sammamish initially responded that KCLS could buy open space in the adjacent park to satisfy the requirement.
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson was selected to provide pre-design architectural services. The scope of work includes an assessment of the maximum build-out for the parcel the City of Sammamish offered to KCLS. It is assumed that parking will be below the building and extend to the edge of the available property. The estimated number of parking stalls is 104. Cost estimates are being developed for 20,000 and 30,000-square-foot buildings. Preliminary architectural work shows 30,000-square-foot building could fit on the site if all of the parking were located under the building, which does not allow for any open space and certainly not nearly enough to make up 70%. KCLS staff will meet next week with City officials to get clarification of this situation and hear how they propose KCLS fund a project that is twice that put forth in the bond plan. Because the City of Sammamish may want to buy the current library, an appraisal was also completed.
April 2006
KCLS has begun the investigation and due diligence phase for locating the new/expanded Sammamish Library in the Sammamish Commons, home to the soon-to-be completed Sammamish City Hall. In agreement with the City Manager, the current Sammamish Library will be appraised by each agency. Once the appraisals are complete, each party will select an appraiser to review the work of the respective appraisals. The City of Sammamish continues to express that they want a library larger than the planned 20,000-square-foot building. They may offer KCLS an incentive to do so in the process of acquiring the library site and through the sale of the current library to the City. KCLS hired an architect to do initial space planning on the site.
Based on the Board's preference for the Sammamish Commons site, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson was selected to provide pre-design architectural services. The scope of work will include an assessment of the maximum build-out for the parcel offered to KCLS by the City of Sammamish. A professional real estate appraisal of the value of the existing library property and improvements should be available by May 1
March 2006
More than 40 people attended the public meeting regarding site selection for the new/expanded Sammamish Library. There was no clear consensus on any of the three sites in question. The site near the new Sammamish City Hall in the Sammamish Commons development received the most positive comments. Much of the discussion, however, focused on the community's desire to have a larger library. They are concerned that the 20,000-square-foot library included in the bond issue may be undersized for their rapidly growing community which is, in many ways, landlocked by its heavy traffic.
KCLS staff indicated that any decision about the ultimate size of the library would depend on what arrangements could be made for the purchase of the site and the disposition of the current library. We also indicated that the new library could not be larger than KCLS can afford to operate and that it would have to be in scale with the rest of the System in recognition of the Board's policy of equity across the service area. Only with those caveats, did we expressed that there might be room to consider a change in plans if the aforementioned concerns were addressed.
Following the Board meeting on March 28, follow-up discussions will be initiated with the owner of the preferred site.

KCLS is pursuing several alternative sites in Sammamish with a goal to locate the new library on or near 228th and within the City's new Urban Center (centered by a new City Hall and a park).
October 2005
Lake Washington School District representatives have been working through various processes to determine if a vacant school site on 228th Avenue SE in Sammamish can or should be surplussed. In the past few days, we were informed that the City of Sammamish has an option on land in another area and will not be a partner in this location.

Lake Washington School District representatives have been working through processes to determine if a vacant school site on 228th Avenue SE in Sammamish can or should be declared surplus. When a determination is made, the City of Sammamish and KCLS will study the site for a proposed Library/Public Works Facility.
April 2005
Site selection has begun. Many community representatives have come forward with parcels for review. At this times, only sites on or near 228th are being given serious consideration. There is a great deal of interest in this process from both the City and citizens in the area. Meetings this month included discussions with the City's Parks Director to discuss the City's goals for the library location, as well as with two representatives of owners with parcels near 228th.

Mukai is taking on the role of Eisuke, a former bassist of a rock band who gave up his music dreams to carry on the tradition of his family's French restaurant. The show will involve a love triangle as Kuninaka and Takimoto play rivals for Eisuke's heart.
Kuninaka has been cast as Eisuke's older girlfriend Maria, who works at a bank. She is shocked to learn that Mukai has abandoned his music to devote himself to the restaurant, leading her to uncertainty about their relationship. Takimoto's character is a 20-year-old college student named Chie who comes from a farming family. Although she initially had a bad impression of Eisuke, she begins to develop feelings for him after tasting his cooking.
SMAP's Inagaki will play Tokio, the owner of a competing French restaurant. In the past, he was fond of the restaurant that Eisuke's mother ran, but after she passed away, he deceived Eisuke's father and bought out the restaurant's chefs and staff. Knowing of Eisuke's ability as a chef, Tokio views him as a rival.
Eisuke's friends, who were part of his band ROCKHEAD, are being played by Tsukamoto (guitarist) and Miura (vocalist). Both of them help Eisuke with his restaurant. --Tokyograph

A renal angiogram is a test used to examine the blood vessels of the kidneys. The test is performed by threading a catheter through the main vessel of the pelvis, up to the renal artery that leads into the kidney. Contrast medium is then injected into the renal artery through the catheter, and images of the vessels of the kidney are taken. The test is a useful aid in evaluating kidney function and diagnosing any narrowing of the arteries, blood clots, tumors or aneurysms.

Whether it was inexperience or stubbornness or simply a matter of not knowing better, Charles Oliveira (16-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) slowly realized he wasn't cut out for lightweight.
Despite winning his first 14 pro fights, most of which came at 155 pounds, UFC losses to Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone made Oliveira realize the rest of the division was just too big for him.
Now, in search of his third straight win at featherweight, the Brazilian hopes a victory over Cub Swanson (17-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC) on Saturday's UFC 152 main card moves him deeper into title contention.
Oliveira and Swanson kick off UFC 152's main card, which airs live on pay-per-view from Toronto's Air Canada Centre. The five-bout lineup follows prelims on FX and Facebook.
Recent submission wins over Eric Wisely and "The Ultimate Fighter 12" winner Jonathan Brookins have Oliveira a few steps closer to featherweight champion Jose Aldo. Admittedly, though, stoppage losses to Miller and Cerrone in 2010 and 2011 made the 22-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt realize 145 pounds was his best play.
"I was doing well for a while as a lightweight prior to those setbacks," he told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "Regardless, I was always smaller than my opponents. Every strike felt hard and heavy.
"So my team and I decided to drop to featherweight so things would be more even. Thankfully my trainers helped me learn how to cut weight the right way. It was the best decision. I have two finishes since. I plan to stay here."
Oliveira, who's picked up wins via calf slicer and anaconda choke in his most recent appearances, looks to sustain the momentum against the well-rounded Swanson, a longtime WEC fighter who's recently picked up back-to-back knockout wins over George Roop and Ross Pearson. In a division light on top contenders, Oliveira knows a UFC 152 victory could go a long way.
"We both are coming off two straight wins – mine are subs, his are KOs – so the winner will be in a great place," he said. "And even if a fourth victory is necessary, I understand that. Regardless, I'm only concentrating on Cub for now. Win or lose, I leave it in God's hands. I came to the UFC to fight the best, and that's what I'm doing."
The featherweight division, of course, is on hold following Aldo's recent withdrawal from UFC 153, where he was slated to fight Erik Koch, and then after an injury substitution, former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar. A motorcycle accident left Aldo with road rash, which soon became infected in his right foot.
However, UFC President Dana White recently told MMAjunkie.com the organization will reschedule Aldo vs. Edgar as early as possible, potentially as soon as later this year. In the mean time, Oliveira, who said he holds no ill will toward the champ despite his motorcycle exploits, hopes to strengthen his own resume with a win on Saturday.
Sure, he'd like to get a title fight in the next year. But for now, his upcoming opponent remains his sole focus.
"I know Swanson shows up to fight," he said. "But I have a gigantic heart. I'm a warrior. And I'm ready to fight all three rounds. I expect this will be the 'Fight of the Night.'"

The votes are in and the El Paso County Sheriff's office will be able to hire more deputies. Question 1A passed Tuesday night.
Right now on average, there are about eight deputies who patrol the entire area of El Paso County on any given night shift. That is about one Deputy per 250 square miles.
With this new sales tax increase, the Sheriff's Office will be able to add another three deputies to every shift.
Deputy Jason Hess is answering a call about a suspicious person in the area, but instead he found a teenager sitting in a car. The Deputy busted him for reportedly having marijuana.
"It's about ten to fifteen dollars street value," Hess said.
Although this is not a dangerous situation, Deputy Hess says with the current staff, there is not enough for adequate back-up.
"There are plenty of occasions where a deputy makes traffic stop and now has two people in the car that are wanted on warrants and there's no one available to assist in the arrests," Hess explained.
Back in 2006 the Sheriff's office had to lay off 50 deputies because of budget cuts. While the population has grown in the county, deputies were never added. Now with the new sales tax helping fund the Sheriff's office, they'll be able to respond faster and even be proactive.
"We'll have more time to patrol and look for people trying to break into houses and cars versus just responding to calls and taking reports, actually out looking for it before it happens," Hess said.
The El Paso County Undersheriff plans to release more information about how many deputies will be hired and when, later this week.
This new sales tax will cost us about two cents for $10 dollars we spend.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Monday that linebacker Joe Mays is likely out for the season after suffering a serious injury to his lower left leg in the Denver Broncos' 34-14 win over the New Orleans Saints,.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because coach John Fox hadn't yet addressed the media Monday. The Denver Post first reported the extent of Mays' injury.
Mays was injured while blocking for punt returner Trindon Holliday in the fourth quarter Sunday.
Mays has had a rough season since signing a three-year, $12 million deal in the offseason. He was suspended for a game for an illegal hit on Houston QB Matt Schaub and lost his starting middle linebacker job two weeks ago to veteran Keith Brooking.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued Toronto-based Energy Fuels a radioactive materials license, clearing the way for the creation of the Pinon Ridge Mill in western Colorado's Montrose County.
Pinon Ridge will transform uranium ore from mines into uranium oxide, which will be sent out of state to be turned into fuel for nuclear reactors.
That doesn't mean construction is imminent. Energy Fuels spokesman Curtis Moore said the company is waiting for the price of uranium to rise. Currently, Moore said, uranium is priced at about $40 per pound, down from about $72 per pound before the disaster at Japan's Fukushima Plant in 2011.
The spot price of uranium was more than $135 a pound when Energy Fuels announced plans for the mill in 2007.
The Pinon Ridge Mill is expected to process 500 tons a day of uranium and vanadium, which is used in steel alloys and high-tech batteries. The mill will primarily process ore from mines in Gateway, Colo., and La Sal, Utah, according to CDPHE documents.
Energy Fuels also plans to open or reopen a number of Colorado mines, Moore said. Those mines are all small—perhaps a few hundred acres in size—and are mostly in areas that have been mined previously.
"These are historic mines, historic mining districts. These are not pristine wilderness districts," Moore said.
Colorado originally authorized the mill in 2011, but the decision prompted appeals from a handful of activist groups. A Denver judge eventually invalidated that license after finding that the state did not hold formal public hearings.
This time around, the state hosted a six-day hearing to allow for public comment and cross-examination of witnesses. But at least one of the groups that protested the decision in 2011 is still wary of the proposed mill.
"It appears the state did not take into consideration all the evidence presented at the hearing, and they went ahead and issued the same decision documents," said, Hilary Cooper, executive director of the Sheep Mountain Alliance, the grassroots organization that spearheaded opposition to the initial license decision.
Cooper said she is still reviewing the decision from CDPHE but hasn't ruled out appealing parts of it. She is especially concerned about what she says are "encouraging words for why they want a radioactive waste dump there and how it would help the state."
Warren Smith, community involvement manager for the Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division of CDPHE, said importing radioactive waste is not allowed under the license. He notes that waste produced by the mill will be stored in underground cells designed to last at least 200 years.
The license carries a number of other environmental safeguards, including requirements that Energy Fuels monitor groundwater for contamination and install fences and wires to keep wildlife away from areas that might have radiation.
The license itself is subject to periodic review and must be renewed whenever there is a change to operation procedures or key personnel. Additionally, the CDPHE plans to designate at least one staff member whose priority will be monitoring and inspecting the mill.
Montrose County Commission David White said that most area residents seem assured that the plan is environmentally sound and are excited about the economic possibilities. Once constructed, the mill is expected to create at least 85 jobs, with up to 400 jobs generated by opening additional mines and increasing economic activity, according to Moore.
CDPHE's environmental analysis also notes that 88 percent of the land within five miles of the proposed site is undeveloped and administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

text: Portal 2 review Gaming 28 April 11 by Duncan Geere Valve Corporation It can't have escaped your notice over the past few weeks that a game called Portal 2 has been released. Launching with one of the more impressive alternate reality games that we've seen in a while, which involved playing a selection of indie titles gathered into something called the Potato Sack, news about Portal 2 hasn't exactly been thin on the ground -- on this site or any other.But an impressive launch campaign doesn't make a game good, and while the original Portal from 2007 was a delightful surprise in a compilation of developer Valve's other games, the hype around release is far, far greater this time around. Thankfully, for once, that hype appears to be justified -- Portal 2 is incredible. So incredible, in fact, that I'm going to split this review in half so that I don't spoil the best jokes for you.On this page is a spoiler-free review of the game. You can safely scroll all the way to the bottom, and you won't meet anything that isn't mentioned or shown off in the game's teaser trailer or in the first few minutes of play. On the next page, all bets are off -- I'll be talking about that incredible bit where... well, you'll have to click over to find out. If you're planning on buying the game, just read this page. Sod our pageviews target. If it doesn't convince you, then click through to page 2, but don't say I didn't warn you.Aperture Science The game begins, after a short tutorial, with your character, Chell, waking up in the Aperture Science research facility, many many years after the events of the first game. It's been so long that nature has begun to reclaim the test chambers, with languorous vines strung across gaps in the architecture, piles of dead leaves and rusty equipment lying in dark corners, and birdsong echoing throughout the facility.Your guide in the first part of the game is Wheatley, a personality core ripped off the facility's evil AI, GLaDOS, in the dying moments of the first game. He's voiced by Stephen Merchant, comedy partner of Ricky Gervais and possibly the most Bristolian voice ever to have been heard in a videogame.Merchant's voice work, along with the return of Ellen McLain as GLaDOS, is absolutely hilarious. Valve's Chet Faliszek told Rock, Paper, Shotgun that "If you're not laughing in the first ten minutes because of Stephen Merchant, you're dead." He's absolutely right. Portal 2 is a very, very funny game.Thinking with Portals It's also a difficult game. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It puts you into a series of situations where you need to manipulate your environment using the portal gun to get from an entrance to an exit. That could involve putting a cube on a big red button, or it could involve sending reality-bending gel flying through anti-gravity tubes in the air.Thankfully, the difficulty usually revolves around working out what to do, not actually doing it. In most parts of the game, the execution is relatively trivial -- shoot a portal here, so that one thing falls through another, and you can get from here to there. It's a little tougher on a controller than it is with a mouse and keyboard, but at no point is the execution hard.A light touch Working out what to do, though, often is. Valve uses light very cleverly in its games, employing it to draw the eye to where the solution is, but even then it's sometimes hard to establish which wall you need to be flying out of to get to that patch of light -- especially once the facility... oh wait. No spoilers. Essentially, every room that you walk into will induce a "WTF?" reaction, but with a bit of experimentation, and remembering that almost everything available to you is there for a reason, you'll chip away at the solution to the puzzle.If there's one criticism to be had of the level design, it's that there's no big final overarching puzzle where you have to use everything that you've learnt. The boss fight at the very end of the game is trivial, and there's little before it that offers any kind of indication that it's coming -- you'll be solving puzzles, and then suddenly it's upon you. The game would have benefited with a couple of final, really hard puzzles requiring gel, light bridges, anti-gravity tubes, turrets and lasers all needing to be arranged in perfect harmony. Or perhaps I'm just being just masochistic.Instead, the pacing -- from the start to the grand finale -- is provided by the narrative that runs throughout the game, rather than the puzzles themselves. Every few chambers, you'll get a bit of plot to reward you, which in turn opens up scenarios for more puzzles. Without giving too much away, the way the plot ties in with the game mechanics is expertly done. There's none of what Clint Hocking called "ludonarrative dissonance" in his critique of Bioshock -- everything just makes sense, and it's clear that Valve has worked very, very hard for that to be the case.Atlas and P-Body Then there's the co-op section, which is set after the events of the single-player game, and so contains a few spoilers itself. It's harder still, but because you've got two brains working in parallel to solve the same puzzles, you're much less likely to get stuck in a chamber that you just can't solve.It has the same joys as the single-player, but with the added bonus that you're often relying on the other player, who'll "accidentally" crush you or drop you in the acid on a regular basis. Portal 2 is the kind of game that has the potential to cause some serious arguments. That surprisingly-competitive atmosphere is enhanced by GLaDOS' voiceovers, which frequently laud one player at the expense of the other.--Portal 2 is an incredible achievement. The few moments where it doesn't quite match expectations are brief and more than outweighed by the moments where you suddenly "get" how to solve a chamber and you feel like the smartest person in the entire world. It represents one of the best game designers in the world doing what it does better than its ever done it before. If that's not a reason to buy it, what is? Reminder: the second page of this review contains significant spoilers about the ending of the game. Don't read it if you want the surprise for yourself.

Westmoreland Student Wins Vol State Leadership Award
Submitted on April 13, 2012 at 9:23 AM
William "Boyd" Kernodle of Westmoreland was recently honored with the Robert M. Ruff Distinguished Leadership Award during the annual Student Leadership Luncheon at Volunteer State Community College. Kernodle was recognized for his work in founding a Student Veterans of America chapter on the Vol State campus. He organized meetings for the new group and recruited 30 members in just a few months. They put together Veteran's Day activities and other events honoring America's Servicemen and women. Kernodle also garnered approval for the recognition of graduating veterans with a special honor cord at the College commencement ceremony.
The Robert M. Ruff Award is named for Professor of History and Political Science, Dr. Robert Ruff. The criteria for the award include dedication, dependability, sensitivity, objectivity and the ability to motivate others. Dr. Ruff is retiring this year after 39 years of service with Vol State. He worked closely with student clubs and organizations throughout his career as advisor and mentor.
Pictured: Boyd Kernodle was honored not only with the Ruff Award, but with two other awards for his success in organizing the Volunteer State Student Veterans of America student club.

May 2, 2016
The folks who answer your 911 calls in Onslow County have some new equipment to better serve the public.
Dispatchers work 12-hour days and their stations were very uncomfortable and their computer screens were hard on their eyes.
They got brand new stations and also a piece of equipment that will help them get help to you faster when you have an emergency.
Ray Silance is the 911 division chief and says, "We have purchased a new recording system. It gives us an instant recall on the desktop. When you call 911 and the phone goes dead we can pull up the recording instantly. That way we can get you help."
The upgrade cost $275,000 and was funded from the 911 surcharge you pay.
The next big change they are working on is the next generation 911. One day soon you will be able to text or send video to dispatchers when you have an emergency.

The Belizean birthday bash bargains and diaspora deals
From the Cayes to Cayo it was a celebration like no other, and the sheer joy, pride and exuberance was something that all Belizeans will remember forever. And for us, opening Chaa Creek went hand in hand with the national celebrations. Not only was it in the same month, there were many of the same emotions – excitement, joy, satisfaction in the accomplishment mixed with a bit of apprehension about what the future may bring.
And here we all are, thirty years later!

It wouldn't feel like October if someone somewhere weren't having a bomb squad called due to hyper realistic Halloween costumes. Thankfully, in San Mateo, California, that's exactly what happened.
At 9:30am today, a man identified as Gilberto Masias was driving around town while wearing a gas mask with grenades hanging from his neck. This freaked out some of the locals, who immediately called the police.
The police called the sheriff's department, which responded by sending out a bomb squad to find the guy. After evacuating about a half-block area, the bomb squad members detained Masias, where upon they discovered that he was wearing a Halloween costume.
But it gets better: bomb squad members also discovered an inert grenade in his car, according to UPI.com.
When asked about the gas mask and grenade, Masias claimed to be a costume shop worker wearing an early Halloween costume, so as to get into the mood for the month.
Now, let's talk for a minute about this guy's dedication to Halloween costumes. I understand wearing a costume around to get a feel for it, to get into the character, and so forth. But an inactive grenade? Where the hell does someone get an inactive grenade? And why would you carry it around?
Plus, the bomb squad claims to only have found one inactive grenade, yet locals claimed he wore a necklace of grenades. Did he purchase the necklace and accidentally end up receiving an actual grenade? If so, that's awesome.
Well, maybe not too awesome, since Masias was cited for possession of an inactive grenade.
Regardless, this is definitely a sign of things to come, this month. It's time to bust out those costumes, people, because Halloween is only 28 days away. Get those Halloween decorations up, finalize those costumes, and start preparing for the madness, because it's only just begun.
