BOOK REVIEW: Ecological Design – 10th Anniversary
Posted By Inhabitat On August 21, 2011 @ 10:30 pm In Architecture,Green Building,Interviews | 2 Comments
Every design-minded citizen loves a coffee table book with glossy photography and eye-catching projects. But every now and then, it's nice to see a book about green design that takes a more in-depth, perhaps even academic approach to the rich, always evolving and ever-exciting field of ecological design. Few people know their stuff like Sim Van Der Ryn [1], who initially published Ecological Design [2] in 1996, and has arguably been one of the grandfathers of green design, designing sustainably for the past 35 years. The book argues that in order to create a more sustainable world, our products, buildings, landscapes, and cities, need to be designed with a greater understanding of ecology. Read on to see what we thought of the 10th anniversary edition of this insightful text which is still relevant even though several more years have already passed.
With chapter headings such as Nature's Geometry, Solutions Grow From Place, and Make Nature Visible, along with a thorough Resource Guide for Ecological Design, Van Der Ryn and Cowan provide a both an overview and strategies for more ecologically-informed, environmentally-sensitive designs. Ecological Design [2] is as informative as a college textbook yet as interesting and easy to read as that murder mystery from your last summer reading list (if you're as big of a design nerd as we are, that is…)
Overview from Powell's Books [3]: "Using examples from architecture, industrial ecology, sustainable agriculture, ecological wastewater treatment, and many other fields, Ecological Design [2] provides a framework for integrating human design with living systems. Drawing on complex systems, ecology, and early examples of green building and design, the book challenges us to go further, creating buildings, infrastructures, and landscapes that are truly restorative rather than merely diminishing the rate at which things are getting worse."

Hello everyone,
I'm a new member from Miami, FL, and I am mostly looking for people from the same city. I'm trying to start a critical mass group (we already have a few, but I'm mostly trying to unite them), and trying to improve the bikeability of our city since those of us that have been to Miami know, Miami is certainly not a good city to ride in! Well, the weather is great here for writing year round but the traffic is a pain and the drivers have no respect. The engineering in this city has been poorly done, and therefore the roads are poorly laid out for bicyclists. There are no bike lanes here that are suitable for actual riding and I intend to change that. I started another forum at soflabike.proboards45.com and would like to invite those that have similar interests to join us. I hope that this is legal to advertise in this forum, but if not I will be happy to remove the link. My only intentions are to unite the cyclists of South Florida to induce change in the safety of the city. Anyways, let's see how it goes.
More about me, I've been riding in Miami, commuting now for about 6 months and have been riding most of my life (about 10 years or so). I have recently gotten serious into road bikes and love them very much. I ride a single speed now everywhere I go and it's a great bike. I have a cannondale capo and it rides great. Anyways, that's about it. If you like check out the Miami critical mass movement at my site soflabike.proboards45.com

Fort Monroe renovates former quarters, increases available childcare spaces
October 19, 2009
By By Patricia Radcliffe, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Monroe, Va.
Story Highlights
- Not authorized new construction due to BRAC, Fort Monroe came up with an innovative solution for its additional CDC needs
- A set of quarters on the installation were renovated to creat a pair of Child Development Homes that can accommodate a total of 12 youths
FORT MONROE, Va. Aca,!" The completion of an innovative project here has resulted in more available child care spaces for military families.
Garrison Commander, Col. Anthony D. Reyes, and members of the Fort Monroe Child Youth and School Services division recently participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony that officially opened two new Child Development Homes Aca,!" a pair of family quarters on post that were renovated to meet required child safety and welfare standards.
Aca,!A"These homes are a great solution to the additional childcare needs at Fort Monroe,Aca,!A? noted Susan Searles, CYSS Director. Aca,!A"Our installation is scheduled for closure, and weAca,!a,,cre not authorized construction of new facilities. Even if we could do it, it wouldnAca,!a,,ct be practical because it usually takes five years to begin a MILCON project and thatAca,!a,,cs long after our September 2011 departure. So, weAca,!a,,cve addressed our need, (which is) more care spaces for military children, especially infants through toddlers, and this solution will benefit our families now instead of years down the road.Aca,!A?
Furthermore, the increase in available spaces is in line with current Army-wide initiatives to raise childcare capacity from 65 to 85 percent by 2010, according to Searles. While the project is not Army Family Covenant-driven, she said it indirectly supports the tenants of the agreement by improving the quality of life for the military community at Monroe.
Up to 12 youngsters (newborn through age 5) can be cared for in each of the CD Homes. They will be staffed by government-trained CDC personnel and managed by the same rules and guidelines that apply to the installationAca,!a,,cs primary Child Development Center. Lesson plans, activity schedules, and portfolios on each childAca,!" everything that is done at the CDC Aca,!" will be duplicated at the CD Homes. And, Searles said, the facilities will be monitored the same way as the primary center.
The added bonus of the new digs is the atmosphere. Four letters, Aca,!A"H-O-M-E,Aca,!A? hung on their putty-colored kitchen walls say it all. The redesign did not eliminate the look and feel of an actual residence. They have Aca,!A"homeyAca,!A? furnishings like couches and kitchen tables, along with child-sized tables, bookcases, benches and plenty of room for the kids to romp. ItAca,!a,,cs clear that the designers placed emphasis on comfort for the tykes.
Aca,!A"We have received a lot of positive comments about the new homes,Aca,!A? Searles said. Aca,!A"And, in the past year, we have expanded our available child care spaces by 36. That means we may end up without anyone on our waiting list soon. ThatAca,!a,,cs a good accomplishment.Aca,!A?
According to the Army, nearly two dozen Child Development Centers are slated to be built service-wide within the next several years. Also, extra emphasis is being placed on the recruitment of on- and off-post Family Child Care providers who can receive free training through the CYSS program. At most installations, they can even borrow childcare equipment for short periods while they get their authorized home child care activity up and running smoothly. Fort Monroe has two off-post FCC providers who can care for a dozen children.
Aca,!A"ItAca,!a,,cs definitely a program you should consider if youAca,!a,,cre a stay-at-home spouse in the military community,Aca,!A? Searles said. Aca,!A"FCC providers gain business skills that are definitely marketable later on; and most of them find a lot of satisfaction in what theyAca,!a,,cre giving back, namely a safe and caring home for a child while their military mom or dad is performing their duties. On top of that, they earn money of course; so itAca,!a,,cs a pretty good deal. Ask your local Child, Youth and School Services office, and IAca,!a,,cm sure theyAca,!a,,cll get you started.Aca,!A?

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, March 8, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- On Thursday some of you were taking the time to care about man's best friends. Lots of people brought their dogs to the Evans Towne Center Dog Park to support local animal shelters.
Both Richmond County and Columbia County animal services were collecting donations for the shelters. A lot of the dogs out at the dog park Thursday had loving owners who took the time to bring them to the dog park, but many animals around the area aren't quite that lucky.
There's been an increase in the amount of animals being sent to shelters and animal services say they are just having a hard time keeping up.
"There's a need right now due to some budget restraints and a lot of animals coming in due to people just can't take care of them anymore; so we're getting a lot of animals surrendered to us and a lot of strays out there," said Linda Glasscock, manager of Columbia County Animal Services.
Augusta Animal Services is feeling the same strain.
"With an ever-increasing inventory and population, we have more that we need to take care of and less funds with which to do that so every little bit helps," said Priscilla Crisler, Kennel Operations manager for Augusta Animal Services.
And lots of people showed up to help out. Animal Services collected over 401 lbs of dog food, 75 lbs of cat food, 15 boxes of treats, four bowls, two pet beds, 10 leashes, one muzzle, five toys and a total of $320.
They say food is the most important donation right now.
"Food is the biggest need right now. It takes a lot of food. Big dogs, small dogs, we have a lot of them," Glasscock said.
Even if you don't have the money to donate, they say your time is just as important.
"If they're not able to afford to send out food, litter and those things that we do need if they can come out and help walk animals, socialize animals that sort of thing," Crisler said. "Every little bit helps."

PACRA (Palomar College Retirees' Association) was established in the fall of 1991 by an informal group of both classified and certificated retirees under the leadership of Mr. Howard Brubeck
From the very beginning it was recognized that the association was equally devoted to the interests of all groups of employees, thus it was decided that the position of president of the PACRA Board should alternate between a member of the certificated staff and classified (support) staff.
Officers serve a 2-year term, filling the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer, and Immediate Past President. General Members consist of (1) regular members who pay dues and (2) contributing members, who pay considerably more than regular dues.
One of the chief functions of PACRA is to monitor the policies of Palomar College that relate to the maintenance of benefits for retired employees. We maintain social relationships among our members, and enjoy renewing acquaintances at our annual meeting held in May.
Objectives of PACRA
1. To implement communication between the college and retired college personnel in all matters of
mutual interest.
2. To communicate on behalf of retired college personnel with representative of government agencies
and other groups outside the college in matters affecting the health and welfare of retired
3. To coordinate the Association's activities with the Palomar College Foundation.
4. To sponsor or facilitate social and recreational activities of interest to retired college
Programs and Activities
1. PACRA has been granted four seats on the Befefits Committee. Jean Ruff, Becky McCluskey and
Sandra Nanninga and Steve Spear currently represent us.
3. Attending Governing Board meetings when issues concerning retirees are being discussed.
4. Providing advocacy for retirees encountering problems or difficulties with Health Benefit
5. Sponsoring forums for Governing Board candidates
6. Sponsoring social events for PACRA members.
PACRA Scholarship
PACRA offers a $1000 scholarship each year to a qualified applicant. See PACRA Scholarship

Starting a business is no easy endeavor. The requirements to make it work should be met, including advertising, equipment, outside services, web design, vehicles and other business needs. For every entrepreneur, a critical element to putting up a business, regardless of size and type, is capital. A typical challenge for entrepreneurs is filing for business credit line. People are trapped in long and expensive credit line building processes, but still risk being rejected. There is definitely a demand for a proven system to ensure that entrepreneurs can tap into thousands of dollars worth of business credit, and eliminate personal liability while at it.
RealBusinessCredit.info offers a business credit building program that teaches a step-by-step system for establishing a new business line of credit without the headaches and common mistakes owners do. The system, contained in the Business Credit Formula Exposed package, claims to work for any business, no matter how small, and it is extremely easy to do.
"There is no need to go through years worth of time wasting and money consuming methods to gain business credit lines, credit cards or bank loans. You can legitimately accomplish this in 30 days with major lines of credit coming in around 60 to 90 days into the process," creator Scott Anderson, small business coach and entrepreneur, affirms.
By availing of Anderson's Business Credit Formula Exposed building program, entrepreneurs will learn how to quickly establish business credit, apply for credit without getting red flagged, overcome objections, get lenders to offer more, and confidently "demand" a credit line and get approved.
This credit building system guarantees to work for people, helping them gain all the capital they need for their business - even if that business is only a day old. It also ensures entrepreneurs get the business credit you need, even if they lack experience, have no credit or have extremely negative credit.
If you are an entrepreneur looking into a system to help you establish business credit in the near future, check out http://RealBusinessCredit.info. End your personal liability and gain strong funding opportunities today.

Obama's Real Error: Not Talking to Taliban Enough
P. Beinart, The Atlantic
AP Photo
There are three kinds of critiques of Barack Obama's foreign policy. The first comes from the left, from commentators like Glenn Greenwald who claim Obama has embraced the architecture of George W. Bush's war on terror: unlawful spying, unlawful detention, unlawful drone attacks, cozy relations with dictators. The second comes from the right, from hawks who believe Obama has appeased anti-American tyrants in Syria, Russia, and Iran, while retreating from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and thus weakening American credibility. The third, and least discussed, comes from foreign-policy professionals, including those within Obama's administration. Ideologically, it's harder to classify. These professionals argue that in his zeal to focus on domestic policy, and to avoid risky...

If for some reason, FileStreamTask itself fails more than the number of retry attempts but gossip continues to work, the stream session will never be closed. This is unlikely to happen in practice since it requires blocking the storage port from new connections but keeping the existing ones, however for the bulk loader this is especially problematic since it doesn't have access to a failure detector and thus no way of knowing if a session failed.

CASSANDRA-4045 BOF fails when some nodes are down

It looks like we could extract/rebase the streaming changes from
CASSANDRA-3112's first patch to solve this well enough for the bulk loader and BOF.
Updated patch extracted as mentioned, doesn't change any streaming behavior but does provide a way to detect errors that
CASSANDRA-3112 and CASSANDRA-4045 can build on.
CASSANDRA-3216 added IEndpointStateChangeSubscriber and IFailureDetectionEventListner to StreamOutSession, we need to keep that functionality. I proposed modified version of CASSANDRA-3112 except limiting retry part on CASSANDRA-3817, I would like to rebase that patch and add retry, so that I can post it here. (I will post it soon.)
Patch attached based on
CASSANDRA-3817 with retry limit.
(I think it is nice to have retry limit per stream session, so that we can configure, say, no retry for bulk loading, which I think is enough. But that's beyond this issue.)
> Brandon
Can you test and see if BOF is OK with this patch?
BOF looks good, +1, committed.
Reopening because this only fixes the problem in one way, FileStreamTask can still fail all 8 times and never close the session. In general, outbound streaming's "fire and forget" methodology is problematic for bulk loading.
v3 attached for 1.1 branch.
It basically catches IOException on both sides and lets sessions closed.
I also implemented IStreamCallback#onFailure to make sure latches count down to avoid process hang.

From Lisa Demer in Anchorage:
A new poll out today shows that Democrat Mark Begich leads over the Republicans challenging him for U.S. Senate -- but barely.
Public Policy Polling said it surveyed 850 registered voters including 442 Republican primary voters. The group did the poll Thursday through Saturday on its own and not for any candidate, Tom Jensen, Public Policy Polling director, said in an email. Its private clients are Democrats but an analysis of its work found a slight bias toward Republicans in 2010 and 2012, he said.
The voter survey found that Begich would edge out former Natural Resources Commissioner Dan Sullivan 41 percent to 37 percent, Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell 43 percent to 37 percent, and 2010 GOP nominee and tea party favorite Joe Miller 45 percent to 25 percent. The polling firm also tested Begich against former Gov. Sarah Palin, and he led in that matchup, too.
In a GOP primary, Sullivan leads with 30 percent, compared to 25 percent for Treadwell and 20 percent for Miller. But voters may like Treadwell more than that indicates. A third of the voters had a positive opinion of him compared to 30 percent for Sullivan. Both Miller and Palin are unpopular among voters, the poll found.
Sullivan, who raised an impressive $1.25 million in his first quarter of campaigning, is running his first television ads, which make him look almost like he's running for president.
It's a long way to the August primary and even longer to the November general election but Begich's standing has been fairly steady since the group's last poll in July, Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling, said in a statement. "It will be a close race but so far he is hanging on."
Gov. Sean Parnell has two main challengers in his bid to become Alaska's longest serving governor: Democrat Byron Mallot and independent Republican Bill Walker. They are splitting the opposition, the same poll found. Parnell had support of 41 percent of the voters, Mallot, 25 percent and Walker trails with 16 percent, the pollsters found.
The most popular statewide elected official in Alaska? Rep. Don Young, with a 46 percent approval rating. The Republican incumbent leads Democrat Matt Moore 50 percent to 22 percent. Libertarian Jim McDermott trails.
Perhaps the most interesting element won't be released until tomorrow, in part two of the poll. The group tweeted a hint: "Lisa Murkowski approval: 59/27 with Democrats and 38/50 with Republicans."

Former Augusta mayoral candidate Helen Blocker-Adams is running for office again.
But this time it's for Georgia State House District 120.
Blocker-Adams made the announcement at a news conference Thursday morning.
She's running as an independent.
The seat is currently held by democrat Quincy Murphy.
But she says she's not running against him out of spite.
"I've been asked several times, why are you running against Quincy Murphy, are you upset with him, absolutely not," says Blocker-Adams. "Mr. Murphy is a good man and I'm not running against Quincy. However, we are giving the people of this district a choice."
Ms. Blocker-Adams says she chose to make her announcement at the old Regency Mall because one of her goals, if elected, is to turn the area into an entertainment and shopping complex.

Situated at 575 above sea level, Saint-Vincent enjoys a particular microclimate which protects it from sudden big temperature changes, so much so as to be nicknamed the "Riviera of the Alps."
The town developed in a natural basin around an ancient settlement and parish church. About fifty years ago, the reconstruction of the spa and of the original town hall characterised the local architecture; like the restoration of the XII-century Romanesque church.
Connected to the village by a modern funicular, flows the ancient healthy spring, which was discovered in 1770 by a local abbot. The waters have a recognised curative effect and are particularly good for respiratory diseases.
From june 2012 the SPA is renovated: an enlarged and modernized version of the 1960s construction create a new concept of spa in which traditional cures exist alongside well-being and body treatment spaces..

After Harshita sang the song "Zombie" by Cranberries @ Freshers 05 , I ( well the whole batch😉 ) went ga ga over that song . But after that i didnt listen to any other Cranberries songs , recently my friend suggested me to listen to "Promises " by Cranberries . After that i have listened to it for atleast 25 times continously .The lyrics are so damn good , i wud suggest all my blog readers to listen to this song .
Here are the lyrics :-
You better belive I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway
Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me
Oh, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke
Do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do-do, do-do-do
What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'cos tearing them out is just not right
Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me, oh oh
Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,
Oh eh, oh eh x3
Do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do-do, do-do-do
PS:So many assigments , so many quizzes , very less time left for midsems … god please help me😦
PS2: I am ultimately out of GNR addiction , now i listen to the GNR songs only once a day

You'll want to capture the passion of Spain with these Spanish tile invitations for your wedding.
For an authentic feel, serve tapas, a classic Spanish appetizers. They are served as a wide range of small portions, each one featuring something a little different. These might include cold dishes such as olives or cheese or warm ones such as albóndlgas (meatballs in sauce), chopitos (fried squid) or patatas bravas (fried diced potato with salsa). A popular dessert food in Spain are churros, sticks of fried pastry similar in taste to a doughnut, which are dipped in hot chocolate.
To continue the theme from your invitations, music is so important.The characteristic Spanish sound is the flamenco guitar, associated with the city of Seville. Cost permitting, you could hire a live guitarist to play for your guests, but if you're on a budget, try recordings of a revered flamenco guitarist such as Carlos Montoya.
Carry the colors from your invitations throughout your wedidng. Large floral displays could add color to the center of each table, though avoid dahlias and chrysanthemums because they are associated with funerals and death in Spain.
Brush up on your basic Spanish to get your guests in the mood for your wedding. "Hello" is "hola," "how are you" is "como estas" and "goodbye" is "adios." Say "muchas gracias" for "thank you very much" and "mucho gusto" for "pleased to meet you." Refer to your friends as "amigo" or "amiga" for males and females respectively. Incorporating the sayings into your invitations would be adorable also!
Encourage your guests to come in Spanish-themed outfits. For men, consider renting matador or torero costumes and long flamenco dresses for women. For guests on a budget, simple costumes can be constructed. A long, flowing dress and fan will suffice for women, and a red shirt and sash with black trousers and shoes will give men a passably Spanish look for your wedding.

144,000 Offshore Wind Turbines Could Power the Entire East Coast of the United States
Posted By Timon Singh On September 19, 2012 @ 11:20 am In energy efficiency,Environment,News,Renewable Energy,Wind Power | No Comments
Recent reports have shown that it's possible to power the entire world with wind power [1], but scientists at Standford University [2] conducted a more focused study that delivered the first-ever quantitative analysis of offshore wind energy on the US East Coast. The study states that there is enough wind energy [3] available to fulfill one-third of the US energy demand with thousands of offshore wind turbines [4].
Focusing on the Maine-to-Virginia corridor—due the region's general lack of hurricanes—the Stanford team calculated that wind turbines placed there would satisfy the peak-time power needs of the nearby states for three seasons of the year (with summer being the exception).
"We knew there was a lot of wind out there, but this is the first actual quantification of the total resource and the time of day that the resource peaks," said Mark Z. Jacobson [5], a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford who led the team. "This provides practical information to wind farm developers about the best areas to place turbines.".
In their research, the team generated a series of computer models [2]and inserted about 140,000 wind turbines into the scenarios. The model theorized that with each turbine generating 5 MW of electricity, a large wind farm off the East Coast could produce between 965 to 1,372 terawatt hours of electricity annually, enough to satisfy the demands of one-third of the United States.
"People mistakenly think that wind energy is not useful because output from most land-based turbines peaks in the late evening/early morning, when electricity demand is low," said Mike Dvorak, a recent graduate of Stanford's Atmosphere/Energy PhD program [2] who was part of the research team. "The real value of offshore wind energy is that it often peaks when we need the most electricity – during the middle of the day."
The team also added that the wind farm shouldn't be built at the expense of ocean views, nor marine life [6]. As such, the turbines would be installed so far offshore that they could not be seen from land. While it will take a lot of funding to implement such a project, the Stanford team hope that their report will act as a guide for placing wind farms in the most rewarding locations.
"The real advantage of wind versus natural gas or coal [7] is that, even though there's a higher cost now for offshore wind, it results in price stability," Jacobson said. "There's zero fuel costs once they're in the water. Coal and gas are depletable resources, so their cost will inevitably go up over time. The cost of wind energy will remain stable, and the wind resource is infinite."
The team's paper titled "U.S. East Coast Offshore Wind Energy Resources and Their Relationship to Peak-Time Electricity Demand" is available here [8].

WASHINGTON — For any adult who's ever been frustrated while teaching a parent to operate a DVD or CD player, the notion of trying to explain social media might make you think "OMG."
Guess what – they're learning without you.
Claude Butler, who just turned 60, has been taking an intensive course in social media and technology, and rarely goes anywhere without his new iPad.
"I was a little bit intimidated, because I'd never been on a computer in my life," says Butler.
Butler is part of a new program, AARP Foundation Connecting to Community, that is using technology and social media to combat isolation among senior citizens.
"Most of them have outlived their families," says Gwendolyn Coleman, program director with Family Matters of Greater Washington, which is sponsoring the pilot program, with AARP, Comcast Corporation, and NETGEAR, Inc.
Current research shows one in five older Americans feels isolated.
"Family members have either passed on, or are no longer in the area, so it's very difficult for them to communicate one-to-one nowadays," says Coleman.
Butler lived most of his life in a small town in North Carolina.
"Since I've been here in Washington, D.C. I don't have that many friends," confides Butler.
Now, Butler feels engaged with the world, as he continues to learn about all the possibilties that come with today's technology and social networks.
"I love Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare," says Butler.
Butler says the Internet, in particular Facebook, is proving to be a gateway toward reconnecting with his past, as well as his future happiness.
"I've been finding lost friends, that I haven't seen in a while, trying to connect with them and family members," says Butler.
"It makes me feel very good, just to stay in touch."

The National Park Service has said the fire was likely human caused, but that remains under investigation.

Around 108th & Foster, Lents Floods. The annual rainy season brings a regular risk for the homes and businesses in the low lying floodplain area. The City of Portland considers the risk of flooding to be such a barrier to economic development in the area that resolving flood issues is one of the key pillars of the Foster Lents Integrated Partnership (FLIP) planning.
Their answer: embrace it.
The "East Lents Floodplains" have been a long time coming, but they're almost here, bringing stability from floods and more access to nature for our communities. This is one of the most beautiful and functional public works projects going on in the area, and the benefits to the surrounding community can already be seen.
The project restores what was partially developed acreage with houses, industry and unimproved streets into a unified piece of nature once again. Benefits of the project include:
- Adds flood storage
- Reduces the frequency of flooding on Foster Road, area homes and businesses
- Improves habitat for fish, birds and other wildlife
- Recreates stream channels and shade the creek
- Provides trail access through the area
January 2012 was the first real test of the site, when heavy rains that would normally flood the neighborhood were kept at bay within the flood storage area.
A New Trail
Beyond storing water, the site also acts a spur of the Springwater Corridor trail. It provides a 'missing link' from the Springwater to the local neighborhood surrounding Leach Botanical Garden.
The City of Portland's official project website for more information.

- Most free world of tanks bots are very basic anti-afk scripts that will keep you from logging out of battles. They need to be configured with mouse information in order to click the right button on the game interface. Unfortunately, these bots are very obvious to players, resulting in you being reported and possibly banned.
- Free bots can be found through search engines like google, and forum communities like elitepvpers. Be warned however, that many distributors of viruses and malware like to disguise their infected software as bots.
- By using a free world of tanks bot, you can farm some credits and research points on an account. Unfortunately, these bots all require world of tanks to be the active window, so you cannot run the bot while using your computer
- Many free WoT bots are developed in free scripting languages, like autohotkey and autoit. In many cases you will have to edit the script files themselves to configure settings for the bots to work. More advanced world of tanks bots are written in languages like C#.
- Basic free anti-afk bots usually work by sending occasional commands to the game window, like you wasd keys, in order to prevent you form being kicked from matches due to inactivity. These scripts will also click on the buttons to join and leave matches. Because of their basic AI, they are not very efficient and may only use one tank at a time and be unable to repair it if needed.
- Free world of tanks bots can potentially be detected by the world of tanks client. They are not designed with any kind of safety features, and may result in multiple reports in game. Additionally, because these bots are free, the WoT developers can easily download them and find out how to detect them.
- Paid, smart world of tanks bots are usually much better than free WoT bots, as paid bots have far more features, are kept up to date and safe, and can earn more credits and research points. If you are serious about botting in world of tanks, an intelligent bot will keep your account safe and will earn you more money doing it.
World of Tanks bots can farm research points and tens of thousands of credits per hour, whether you're sleeping or using your computer as normal. These bots are safe to use and do not contain viruses or malware. They're also well supported and look just like players in game, moving around the game levels and attacking enemy tanks. Even if you want a free world of tanks bot, I recommend looking into smart, paid world of tanks bots.

Our intelligent bot Tankleader can navigate the game environment, tactically attack enemy tanks, and earn tons of credits and EXP. Check it out!

The Town Toyota Center debt crisis looms large. The Public
facilities district must repay or refinance $42 million in construction loans by December 1st. So far, there has
been no clear solution.
Now the state treasurer's office will step in and try to
intervene, asking the legislature at its special session to loan the money needed to cover the debt. Assistant
State Treasurer Wolfgang Opitz will try to convince lawmakers that even though they are meeting to cut even more
money out of the state's budget, the temporary loan is needed to stop the impending default.
/> Defaulting on the TTC loans would have negative ramifications not just for Wenatchee and the
8 other entities involved in the PFD, it could have a chilling effect on civic projects and bond issuance across
the state.
But the window of opportunity for such a loan is very tight. For more
information, Isaac Kaplan-Woolner reached Opitz by phone.

I love to see new variations on traditional favorites, and when I spotted this Creamy Slow Cooker Tomato Soup with Cheesy Quinoa Dippers from Pretty Kitten's Kitchen I was charmed by this updated version of the tomato-soup-and-grilled-cheese classic combination. Kristyn says her husband declared "I think this may be the best tomato soup I've ever eaten," and even her little boy who normally doesn't go for soup gobbled it up, which makes this sound like a great Meatless Monday option for family dinner! Kristyn used butter and cream in her soup but she says you could use milk or even skim milk, and I'm guessing you could sub olive oil for the butter as well.

Pope Benedict XVI made headlines when he announced he was stepping down — something no pope has done since the Middle Ages. While that's big news, the Catholic Church has seen much more dramatic upheavals.

From a cadaver on trial to a three-timing pope, here are 10 of the most interesting church fathers in history.

The first head of the Catholic Church was St. Peter. Peter, whose original name was Simon, was one of Jesus' 12 apostles, according to John Julius Norwich in his book "Absolute Monarchs: A History of the Papacy" (Random House, 2012). He preached throughout Asia Minor before coming to Rome, where he lived for 25 years, when Emperor Nero Augustus Caesar crucified him. Legend has it that he sought to be crucified upside down, deeming himself too low to share in the same death as Jesus. Though now considered the first pope, he never officially took that title during his lifetime. [Photos: Gladiators of the Roman Empire]

The first pope to step down was Pontian, who headed the church from A.D. 230 to 235. Unlike many of his predecessors, Pontian wasn't martyred, but rather was sentenced to hard labor in the Sardinian mineral mines by Emperor Maximus the Thracian who was persecuting Christians, particularly heads of church. The pope voluntarily abdicated to prevent the church from having a power vacuum, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia.

Pope Formosus headed the Catholic Church from A.D. 891 to 896, and his reign was marked by political battles and infighting. He was excommunicated about 20 years prior to his reign, but then later absolved. After his death, his cadaver was exhumed, put on trial, and judged to be unworthy of the papacy. All of his papal edicts were deemed invalid, the fingers he used to make sacraments were ripped off, and he was tossed into the Tiber River.

Pope Leo I, who reigned from A.D. 461 to 468, may have been most famous for work he did before ascending to the papacy: The former aristocrat and then bishop convinced the feared Attila the Hun not to sack Rome. It's possible Leo offered Attila a pile of loot, or the warlord used the meeting as an excuse to turn back, given his own strategic concerns.

Another possibility is that the pope may have played on Attila's superstitious fear of dying soon after the sacking, just as Alaric I (king of a tribe of Goths) did after the despoiling of Rome decades earlier, according to "Absolute Monarchs: A History of the Papacy." [Saint or Spiritual Slacker? Test Your Religious Knowledge]

The next hundred years was rough for the Catholic Church, with persecution of Christians and martyrdom for several of the church heads. But in A.D. 313, Emperor Constantine officially put an end to Christian persecution. Pope Sylvester I was the first pope to live in this less dangerous world, but when Constantine arranged the Council of Nicea to sort out official Christian doctrine, Sylvester chose to sit it out, sending underlings instead, according to "Absolute Monarchs: A History of the Papacy." The Nicene Creed is now considered the first official statement of belief for Christians.

The current pope isn't the only Benedict to have stepped down. During a tumultuous time in the Catholic Church's history known as the saeculum obscurum (sometimes called the Rule of the Harlots), the popes engaged in corrupt venal behavior and were too closely allied to one aristocratic family. Fed up, the people in Rome raised Benedict V to the highest position in A.D. 964. But the founder of the Holy Roman Empire, King Otto, wasn't having it: He elected an antipope, Leo VIII, instead. Benedict V chose to step down a few months after being elected. (At this chaotic time, it wasn't unheard of to have two popes elected.)

The next Benedict, Benedict VI, also faced an ignominious end to his reign: When King Otto died in 974, Benedict VI was imprisoned and put to death by his antipope successor.

Another Benedict, Pope Benedict IX, had three runs at the papacy. The ne'er-do-well ascended to the highest office in 1032 as a result of family connections at the tender age of 20, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. The ruler reportedly lacked all moral balance and led a dissolute life. In 1044, the city of Rome elected an antipope (a second pope). Benedict IX drove out the antipope, but then stepped down — only after selling the papacy to yet another priest. Before he died, he seized the highest office one more time, but Benedict IX's final stint was short lived.

One legend has it that from A.D. 855 to 877, a Pope John who reigned may have actually been a woman. The story, recounted by a Dominican monk named Martin in 1265 and several others, claims that Pope John was a girl who was brought to Athens in men's clothing, according to "Absolute Monarchs: A History of the Papacy." She took up study and became a master of learning, the story goes, but became pregnant and gave birth in a church procession. However, the chaos at the time and the discrepancies between different stories suggests this "Pope Joan" may never have existed.

Many of the men who have been chosen for the highest office didn't get a chance to do much with it. Pope-elect Stephen was elected in A.D. 752, but died just a few days later, without being consecrated into office. Pope Damasus II ascended to the papacy in 1048, after several political squabbles, but passed away just 23 days later. Celestine IV, who was elected in 1241, died just 16 days later — too early for his coronation. And Pope Urban VII, at 12 days in A.D. 1590, was the shortest-reigning pope in the Catholic Church's history.

The Catholic Church has also had several periods where no pope reigned. These gaps, known as interregnums, usually occurred when the cardinals who vote for the pope were deadlocked.

The last pope to abdicate, Pope Gregory XII, was elected in 1406, more than 600 years ago. A man noted for his piety, he was originally elected to end the schism that occurred after Pope Innocent VII died, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. Gregory XII was one of three popes to rule at the time, and the ensuing chaos must have convinced him it was time to quit. He eventually convened a council to sort out the mess, and abdicated in 1415.

The number of jobless claims due to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma has risen.
Nanette Altuna was a dental technician for more than 18 years.
"For the first time in my life, I feel hopeless," Altuna says.
Now a job seeker in Live Oak, Hurricane Wilma forced her to leave her now condemned home and dream job in West Palm Beach.
"It's very hard. People don't realize when you have three kids and you used to go to work everyday. I loved my job with a passion. It was hard for me to call and tell them I couldn't go back because I don't have a vehicle. Not only that, I didn't have a home," adds Altuna.
The most recent available numbers from the U.S. Labor Department show the number of Americans who lost jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma rose by 19,000, putting the total at more than 560,000.
"It's been very difficult to find jobs, especially for people with degrees and already have skills. To get them back into their skill has been difficult," says Shanna Travis, a counselor at Meridian Behavioral Healthcare.
Travis has been trying to help Nanette and other evacuees find jobs in the area, hoping to curve the number of storm-related jobless claims.
The total jobless claims throughout the country dropped by 25,000, the lowest level since mid-April.

Membership in Maine's Ku Klux Klan rose suddenly in the mid-1920s. Maine's KKK chapter focused its abuse on Catholics. Though the Maine Klan was not characterized by the kind of extreme violence as the southern KKK, they did threaten Maine citizens with burning crosses and other paraphernalia. Membership in the Maine Klan fell almost as quickly as it had risen.
