Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Mat Kearney
Pop singer-songwriter based in Nashville, his arching-mellow compositions made him an '00s live favorite & adult contemporary mainstay.
Born in Eugene, Oregon, singer/songwriter Mat Kearney began his musical career 400 miles south at the Chico branch of California State University, where he studied literature and played on the soccer team. After completing his junior year, Kearney went to Nashville with friend/producer Robert Marvin, with the intention of only staying the summer to lay down a few songs.
However, after offers for recording deals started coming in, Kearney decided to remain in Tennessee to seriously pursue his songwriting career. Kearney's interesting blend of hip-hop and folk intrigued Inpop Records, which offered him the deal he'd been looking for and released his debut album, Bullet, in 2004.
Kearney departed slightly from his rhymes and concentrated more on guitar work for his follow-up effort, Nothing Left to Lose. Released by Aware/Columbia Records in 2006, the album proved to be fairly popular, with three songs appearing in various episodes of [muzeItalic]Grey's Anatomy[/muzeItalic] and two songs enjoying successful runs as singles.
Kearney returned three years later with City of Black & White, supporting the album's release with a tour alongside Keane and the Helio Sequence. In July 2011, he released Young Love on the Universal label, coinciding with a tour with Owl City.

STEUBENVILLE - Steubenville's basketball team is known for causing chaos with its full-court pressure defense. On Tuesday at The Crimson Center, its offense added to the mayhem.
Swishing its first six field goal tries (the initial three came from behind the arc) to open the second period, Mike Haney's cagers broke open a fairly tight contest and coasted to an 81-46 victory against John Marshall.
Big Red shot a red-hot 70 percent (7 of 10). Up 18-13 after one, thanks to a Mylik Young hoop at the buzzer, the hosts got rolling when Periogn West nailed a triple. Tajuan Lawson connected from downtown and John Linn followed suit. Baskets by Young, Hill and Lawson (he also nailed two free throws) increased the Big Red advantage to 20 (35-15). It was 40-19 Big Red at the half.
For the night, Big Red, now 2-1, hit on 32 of 51 attempts for a torrid 63 percent.
"Our shot selection was very good," Haney said. "We had some open threes and we didn't have too many forced shots. We moved the ball well, made the extra passes and had nice looks at the basket. We were definitely happy with that."
When discussing the second quarter burst, Haney noted "we got on about a three-minute roll. We were shooting good, making good passes and getting good looks.
"The downside was after that we had a bad three minutes. The ball was flying around, we weren't scoring points and we didn't take good care of the ball."

WASHINGTON – Could the new school year bring a new outbreak of tuberculosis to the Washington area? After last year, some parents are concerned.
Robert E. Lee High School in Springfield, Va., confirmed three cases of tuberculosis, or TB, during the last academic school year — one in December and two in June.
But Dr. Roberta DeBiasi, chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Children's National Medical Center, says there is no need for panic now that school is back in session.
"We know how to treat TB. We don't wait to test for it and (parents) shouldn't be worried when there is a sudden outbreak," DeBiasi says.
According to DeBiasi, it is rare for a child to pick up tuberculosis at school or during extracurricular activities. Usually, the disease is transferred by someone who maintains very close contact on a regular basis, such as a family member or caregiver.
When a child is brought to Children's National Medical Center with active TB, the local health department is notified immediately and begins to search for the cause.
"We don't just treat one child and that is the end of that," DeBiasi says.
Children respond well to treatment, but DeBiasi says the elderly are at risk for serious complications and should be evaluated if they display any signs of TB.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says symptoms of TB include a persistent cough, weakness, fatigue and weight loss. It is the coughing that expels the bacteria from the infected person into the air. That is when tuberculosis can spread to others.
The CDC says good detective work by health departments across the country has slashed the number of tuberculosis cases in the U.S. from roughly 25,000 in 1992 to about 10,528 in 2011.

Setup (Programming Device Control)
The Atlas 5-Device Remote Control with Learning is preprogrammed to operate the cable box (converter) provided by your cable system, an RCA TV, a Toshiba DVD player, an RCA VCR, and a Pioneer audio receiver. To control devices other than the default brands, perform the following steps; otherwise skip this section. NOTES: For control of a Combo device (for example, a TV/VCR combo), skip this section and perform the instructions on "Setting Up a Combo Unit" in the manual. If you have another brand of cable converter or a satellite receiver you would like to control, you'll need to unlock the cable ID Lock before changing the converter code (see "Programming Cable ID Lock" in the manual).
Turn on a device and, if applicable, insert video media, (e.g., cassette or disc).
On the remote control, press a device key once (i.e., VCR, DVD, AUD, TV, or CBL); it will blink once. Then press and hold SETUP until the selected mode key blinks twice.
Use the lookup tool below to locate the type of device and brand name and then enter the first four-digit code for your device. If performed correctly, the selected mode key will blink twice.
NOTE: If the selected mode key emits a long blink, the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering the same code again.
Aim the remote control at the device and press PWR once. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 2 through 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not respond, try searching for the code (see "Searching for Your Code").
NOTE: If the device does not have a PWR key, press the PLAY key.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each device you want the remote control to operate. For future reference, write down each working device code in the boxes on the following page.

Edinburgh STAY Central

Merk: Det er ansvaret til hotellkjeden og/eller den enkelte eiendom for å sikre nøyaktigheten av bildene som vises. Travellerspoint er ikke ansvarlig for eventuelle feil i disse bildene.
Central Hotel is ideally located in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. From this prime location in the Cowgate, it is a mere 3 minute walk to the centre of The Royal mile and many of Edinburgh's most famous landmarks.
Originally built in 1621 for The Guild of Tailors, although has had many uses through its four century history, Tailors Hall Hotel was restored in 1998 to a 3* hotel now offering a modern, comfortable and enjoyable stay with access to one of Edinburghs most infamous pubs, The Three Sisters.
The hotel comprises 42 bedrooms over 4 floors, all with lift access. All rooms offer LCD panel TVs, but even here the buildings heritage is never far away with original features and photographs linking back through the years which are a constant reminder of the hotels history.
In the morning a full Scottish and continental style breakfast selection is available in the first floor breakfast area, a truly original space boasting stone vaulted ceilings, cast iron supporting pillars and exposed walls providing an inspiring start to any day in Edinburgh.
On the ground floor is The 3 Sisters bar, world famous for its welcoming atmosphere, lively character and themed events. Open daily from 9am to 1am The 3 Sisters is as synonymous with Edinburgh as Princes Street or the Military Tattoo! A very unique feature is the expansive cobbled courtyard to the front of the hotel with a huge outdoor plasma screen, perfect for catching the sun during summer and with covered and heated seating areas, just as enjoyable during the winter months. The bar and courtyard can however result in noise affecting some rooms overlooking the courtyard, especially at weekends.
Tailors Hall is located 0.3 miles from Edinburgh Waverley train station 7 miles from Edinburgh airport. Regular buses to various destinations means you will not require a car to travel, however cars can be parked in the secure NCP car park situated on St Johns Hill at the Pleasance

The trial will not be over today as someone suggested, the defense will present it's side next week. Lets hope Dennard does not have to serve time, the defense does need him.
For those of you who want to follow what's happening--
comments from defense attorney taken from article-
Dougherty said the whole thing didn't amount to anything but a pushing match until Kopsa came up behind Dennard and grabbed him.
He said Dennard didn't know the person who grabbed him was an officer and reacted by raising his arm and elbow and swinging around to break free.
Up to that point, Dougherty said, Dennard did nothing wrong.
"He didn't know who was behind him, and he thought he was being attacked," he said.
Personally I believe Dennard-He never had any trouble until that night, why would he suddenly start punching cops?

July 4 festivities span two days
Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 9:52 p.m.
In this area, it takes two days to celebrate Independence Day. There will be Fourth of July celebrations, with fireworks, today and Thursday.
And with the cancelation and subsequent rescue of Ocala's biggest fireworks party, some residents may need a set-in-stone guide for what is scheduled and when. So break out the calendar and take note. Here is a list of local events with fireworks. All events are free unless otherwise noted.
Red, White and Blues: The Jimmy Sparks Band returns to headline this year's festival in downtown Ocala. The event runs 6 to 9 p.m. at Citizens' Circle at City Hall, 151 SE Osceola Ave., Ocala. Fireworks will start just after dark; no rain date is scheduled. The Suitors also will perform. Performance artist Dale Henry will create a painting on site; it will be available for purchase after the event.
Freedom Celebration: Souls Harbor Church will host a family party with fireworks, food and more at 7:30 p.m. Souls Harbor Church is at 12650 SE County Road 484, Belleview.
Williston Celebration: The Williston Area Chamber of Commerce and city of Williston will host Independence Day festivities starting with a parade at 5 p.m. on Noble Avenue. Festivities will begin after the parade at Williston Horseman's Park. Fireworks display at dusk. Fireworks will be called off — or rescheduled — only if there is lightning in the area, according to the chamber.
Fanfares and Fireworks: Celebration starts at 7 p.m. at the University of Florida Bandshell, Flavet Field, Gainesville. Bands are Richy Stano and Mindwalk, Mark Gaignard and the Barstool Prophets, and the Gainesville Community Band. Fireworks will start at 9:40 p.m., rain or shine.
God and Country Day: The celebration with arts, crafts, live entertainment and food and fireworks begins at 1 p.m. at the corner of U.S. 27 and County Road 225A, west of Interstate 75. Fireworks will begin at dark. No rain date scheduled.
Silver Springs: Grammy Award-winning disco band KC and the Sunshine Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. at the nature park, with fireworks to follow. No rain date is scheduled. The park is at 5656 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Silver Springs. Concert-day admission is $34.99.
Micanopy celebration: Annual parade begins at 11 a.m. on Cholokka Boulevard through downtown Micanopy. A fish fry will follow. Fireworks will start after dusk at the ballpark, 702 NW third Ave., Micanopy. The town is off North U.S. 441, just north of the Alachua-Marion county line.

Malaysia's population of 25.6 million (2004) continues to grow at a rate of 2.0% per annum; about 32.8% of the population is under the age of 15. Malaysia's population comprises many ethnic groups, with the politically dominant Malays comprising a majority. By constitutional definition, all Malays are Muslim. About a quarter of the population is Chinese, who have historically played an important role in trade and business.
Malaysians of Indian descent comprise about 7% of the population and include Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, and Christians. About 85% of the Indian community is ethnically Tamil, with the remainder including those of Telegu, Malayalam, Punjabi and Gujarati descent.
Non-Malay indigenous groups make up more than half of the Borneo state of Sarawak's population and about 66% of the Borneo state of Sabah's population. They are divided into dozens of ethnic groups, but they share some general patterns of living and culture. Until the 20th century, most practiced traditional beliefs, but many have become Christian or Muslim. The "other" category includes Malaysians of, inter alia, Thai, European and Middle Eastern descent. Population distribution is uneven, with some 20 million residents concentrated in the lowlands of peninsular Malaysia, an area slightly smaller than the state of Michigan.
The early Buddhist Malay kingdom of Srivijaya, based at what is now Palembang, Sumatra, dominated much of the Malay peninsula from the 9th to the 13th centuries AD. The powerful Hindu kingdom of Majapahit, based on Java, gained control of the Malay peninsula in the 14th century. Conversion of the Malays to Islam, beginning in the early 14th century, accelerated with the rise of the state of Malacca under the rule of a Muslim prince in the 15th century. Malacca was a major regional entrepot, where Chinese, Arab, Malay, and Indian merchants traded precious goods. Drawn by this rich trade, a Portuguese fleet conquered Malacca in 1511, marking the beginning of European expansion in Southeast Asia. The Dutch ousted the Portuguese from Malacca in 1641. The British obtained the island of Penang in 1786. In 1795, the Dutch gave up Malacca to the British temporarily to prevent it from falling to the French during the Napoleonic war. It was returned to the Dutch in 1818. In 1824, through the Anglo-Dutch treaty, Malacca was given to the British in exchange for Bengkulen on the island of Sumatra, in what is today Indonesia.
In 1826, the British settlements of Malacca, Penang, and Singapore were combined to form the Colony of the Straits Settlements. From these strongholds, in the 19th and early 20th centuries the British established protectorates over the Malay sultanates on the peninsula. Four of these states were consolidated in 1895 as the Federated Malay States.
During British control, a well-ordered system of public administration was established, public services were extended, and large-scale rubber and tin production was developed. This control was interrupted by the Japanese invasion and occupation from 1941 to 1945 during World War II.
Popular sentiment for independence swelled during and after the war and, in 1957, the Federation of Malaya, established from the British-ruled territories of peninsular Malaysia in 1948, negotiated independence from the United Kingdom under the leadership of Tunku Abdul Rahman, who became the first prime minister. The British colonies of Singapore, Sarawak, and Sabah (called North Borneo) joined together with the Federation to form Malaysia on September 16, 1963.
Singapore left the Federation on August 9, 1965, and became an independent republic. Neighboring Indonesia objected to the formation of Malaysia and pursued a program of economic, political, diplomatic, and military "confrontation" against the new country, which ended only after the fall of Indonesia's President Sukarno in 1966.
Following World War II, local communists, nearly all Chinese, launched a long, bitter insurgency, prompting the imposition of a state of emergency in 1948 (lifted in 1960). Small bands of guerrillas remained in bases along the rugged border with southern Thailand, occasionally entering northern Malaysia. These guerrillas finally signed a peace accord with the Malaysian Government in December 1989. A separate, small-scale communist insurgency that began in the mid-1960s in Sarawak also ended with the signing of a peace accord in October 1990.
Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy, nominally headed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong ("paramount ruler"), customarily referred to as the king. Kings are elected for 5-year terms from among the nine sultans of the peninsular Malaysian states. The king also is the leader of the Islamic faith in Malaysia.
Executive power is vested in the cabinet led by the prime minister; the Malaysian constitution stipulates that the prime minister must be a member of the lower house of parliament who, in the opinion of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, commands a majority in parliament. The cabinet is chosen from among members of both houses of parliament and is responsible to that body.
The bicameral parliament consists of the Senate (Dewan Negara) and the House of Representatives (Dewan Rakyat). All 70 Senate members sit for 3-year terms, which are normally extended for an additional 3 years; 26 are elected by the 13 state assemblies, and 44 are appointed by the king. Representatives of the House are elected from single-member districts by universal adult suffrage. The 219 members of the House of Representatives are elected to parliamentary terms lasting up to 5 years. Legislative power is divided between federal and state legislatures.
The Malaysian legal system is based on English common law. The Federal Court reviews decisions referred from the Court of Appeal; it has original jurisdiction in constitutional matters and in disputes between states or between the federal government and a state. Peninsular Malaysia and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak each have a high court.
The federal government has authority over external affairs, defense, internal security, justice (except civil law cases among Malays or other Muslims and other indigenous peoples, adjudicated under Islamic and traditional law), federal citizenship, finance, commerce, industry, communications, transportation, and other matters.

Prime Minister--Dato' Seri Utama Abdullah bin Ahmad Badawi
Foreign Minister--Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar
Ambassador to the U.S.--Dato' Ghazzali Sheikh Abdul Khalid
Ambassador to the UN--Datuk Rastam Mohd Isa

Malaysia's predominant political party, the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), has held power in coalition with other parties since Malaya's independence in 1957. In 1973, an alliance of communally based parties was replaced with a broader coalition--the Barisan Nasional--composed of 14 parties. In September 1998, then-Prime Minister Mahathir dismissed Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and accused Anwar of immoral and corrupt conduct. Although Anwar was convicted on both charges in 1999 and 2000, the trials were viewed as seriously flawed (Malaysia's Federal Court eventually freed Anwar after overturning his immoral conduct conviction in September 2004). Mahathir replaced Anwar in 1999 with Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
On October 31, 2003, Prime Minister Mahathir stepped down voluntarily after 22 years in power, and his successor, Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, was sworn into office. Abdullah won an overwhelming victory in March 21, 2004 general elections, with Barisan Nasional winning 199 of 219 seats in the lower house of parliament. UMNO itself won 110 seats. PAS was reduced to six seats in parliament and lost control of the state of Terengganu. The socialist Democratic Action Party (DAP), with predominately urban ethnic Chinese support, won 12 seats in parliament, and party chairman Lim Kit Siang became Leader of the Opposition in parliament.
The Malaysian economy maintained its momentum growing 7.1% (real GDP) in 2004, after expanding 5.3% in 2003. The better than expected expansion in 2004 was fueled primarily by the continuing strength of the manufacturing sector, particularly the electronics and chemical industries. The strength of the global electronics sector continued to boost Malaysian exports to the U.S., Malaysia's principal trade and investment partner. However, the economic prognosis is that the economy's growth will slow in 2005 - the current projection is between 5.0% to 6.0%. Malaysia manufacturers remain concerned about slowing growth regionally and globally, and the impact of continued high oil prices.
Although Malaysia is a net exporter of oil, due to the significant and rapid hike in oil prices, the government has seen an increased cost to support oil subsidies. It ahs also passed some of the burden of these subsidies to domestic consumers through higher prices at the pump, thereby raising concerns about inflation.
On July 21, 2005, the government removed the 7-year old peg linking the ringgit's value to the U.S. dollar (at an exchange rate of RM 3.8/U.S.$1.0), replacing it with a managed float against an undisclosed basket of currencies. This move aims to keep the ringgit stable to support the country's export-based economy.
Malaysia remains an important trading partner for the United States. In 2004, bilateral trade between the United States and Malaysia totaled U.S.$39.1 billion. U.S. exports to Malaysia were $10.9 billion, and U.S. imports from Malaysia were $28.2 billion. Malaysia was the United States' 10th-largest trading partner and its 16th-largest export market. During the first 6 months of 2004, U.S. exports to Malaysia totaled $4.8 billion while the United States imported $15.3 billion from Malaysia.
Malaysia successfully developed from a commodity-based economy to one focused on manufacturing. Today the Government of Malaysia seeks to make the leap to a knowledge-based economy. At independence, Malaysia inherited an economy dominated by two commodities--rubber and tin. In the 40 years thereafter, Malaysia's economic record had been one of Asia's best. From the early 1980s through the mid-1990s, the economy experienced a period of broad diversification and sustained rapid growth averaging almost 8% annually. New foreign and domestic investment played a significant role in the transformation of Malaysia's economy. Manufacturing grew from 13.9% of GDP in 1970 to 30.9 % in 2003, while agriculture and mining, which together had accounted for 42.7% of GDP in 1970, dropped to 8.7% and 7.2 %, respectively, in 2003. Malaysia is one of the world's largest exporters of semiconductor devices, electrical goods, and appliances, and the government has ambitious plans to make Malaysia a leading producer and developer of high-tech products, including software. Malaysia is a major destination for outsourcing after China and India.
The Malaysian Government encourages Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and the United States continues to be one of the largest sources of new investment in Malaysia. In 2004, the Malaysian Government approved U.S. $263 million in new manufacturing investment by U.S. companies, with the bulk in the electronics and electrical sectors. The cumulative value of U.S. private investment in Malaysia exceeds $20 billion, 60% of which is in the oil and gas and petrochemical sectors with the rest in manufacturing, especially semiconductors and other electronic products, according to an American Chamber of Commerce 2003 survey.
The Government of Malaysia has taken an active role in guiding the nation's economic development. Malaysia's New Economic Policy (NEP), first established in 1971, sought to eradicate poverty and end the identification of economic function with ethnicity. In particular, it was designed to enhance the economic standing of ethnic Malays and other indigenous peoples (collectively known as "bumiputeras" in Bahasa Malaysia). Rapid growth through the mid-1990s made it possible to expand the share of the economy for bumiputeras without reducing the economic attainment of other groups. One controversial NEP goal was to alter the pattern of ownership of corporate equity in Malaysia, with the government providing funds to purchase foreign-owned shareholdings on behalf of the bumiputera population. In June 1991, after the NEP expired, the government unveiled its National Development Policy, which contained many of the NEP's goals, although without specific equity targets and timetables. In April 2001, the government released a new plan, the "National Vision Policy," to guide development over the period 2001-10. The National Vision Policy targets education for budget increases and seeks to refocus the economy toward higher-technology production. In 2004, the government announced plans to revamp the government-linked corporations (GLCs) targeting to improve performance and gradually reduce the state's stakes in them.
In the early 1990s, Malaysia undertook a major program to expand and modernize its armed forces. This included procurement of F/A-18 and C-130 aircraft from the United States. In 2003, the government announced a major purchase of Russian Sukhoi aircraft. Malaysia is also acquiring submarines from France and tanks from Poland.
As a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN--established 1967), Malaysia views regional cooperation as the cornerstone of its foreign policy. Malaysia was elected chair of the 39th ASEAN Standing Committee and will host the ASEAN Summit and East Asia Summit in December 2005. Malaysia will also host the ASEAN Ministerial and ASEAN Regional Forum meetings in July 2006.. In world affairs, Malaysia maintains cooperative relations with the United States, the European Union, and Japan. Malaysia is an active member of the Commonwealth, the UN, the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
In 2003, Malaysia assumed the chairmanship of both the OIC and the NAM. Malaysia also is a member of APEC and hosted the 1998 Leaders' Meeting. Malaysia maintains diplomatic relations with North Korea. Malaysia does not have diplomatic relations with Israel. Malaysia's international affiliations include the UN and many of its specialized agencies, including UNESCO, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the International Atomic Energy Agency; General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; Association of Southeast Asian Nations; Asian Development Bank; Five-Power Defense Arrangement; South-South Commission (G-15); Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Commonwealth; Non-Aligned Movement; Organization of Islamic Conference; and INTELSAT.
The United States has maintained friendly relations with Malaysia since its independence in 1957. The United States and Malaysia have a record of cooperation in many areas, including trade and investment, defense, counter-terrorism, and counter-narcotics.
Cultural and educational exchanges have been another fruitful area of cooperation. However, the number of Malaysians studying in the United States declined significantly from 14,597 in the 1997-98 school year to 6,483 in the 2003-04 school year.
Trade and Investment
The United States is currently Malaysia's largest trading partner and largest foreign investor. Malaysia possesses abundant resources and land, a well-educated work force, adequate infrastructure, and a relatively stable political environment. The return of economic growth should boost U.S. exports, particularly in priority areas of development, including high-technology fields, industrial automation, medical products and services, education/distance learning, and the environment. Of particular interest to the Malaysian Government is the development of the Multimedia Super Corridor, Malaysia's effort to create a Silicon Valley in Asia. Malaysia, a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), has few restraints on trade goods. Its service sector, however, remains protected, particularly in financial services.

Renewable electricity using light and heat from the sun is helping Portland International Airport win the war on winter, and protect nearby waterways.
Solar panels are contributing power to the treatment facility for the airport's newly expanded deicing stormwater collection system. The facility treats runoff containing deicers used on the airfield and aircraft to enhance flight safety when the weather is cold.
The facility's largest of two solar arrays is a 28-kilowatt ground-mount system featuring 120 SolarWorld panels commissioned in December. The project was funded through a Blue Sky renewable energy grant from Pacific Power. Commissioned in November, a n additional 6.6-kilowatt ground-mount system utilizing 32 solar panels also serves the facility. Both solar arrays are examples of the Port's continuing work to integrate environmental considerations into our operations.
"We are proud to be a part of the solar energy movement," said Susan Aha, Port of Portland deicing program manager. "It allows us (the Port) to do our jobs efficiently, and sustain the benefits of our work in the community for years to come."
Following two years of construction, testing is now underway on the expanded deicing stormwater collection system. The system includes a new 3-million gallon concentrated runoff storage tank, two 6.5-million gallon dilute runoff storage tanks, and three pump stations. Also included is the treatment facility, more than six miles of underground piping, and an outfall to the Columbia River. All system components are scheduled to operate in full compliance with Oregon Department of Environmental Quality permit requirements by April 30.

Can you please write a book of all your adventures back in the day ? I'd buy one for me and some for my friends. Ever time I read one of you stories I want more !
Pretty ugly huh! My Dad had this mount stored in a wharehouse when I lived at the Salton Sea, the rats/mice got after it.
Funny you should mention writing a book, I have kept a journal on almost all of my Wyoming hunts and a lot other High Sierra ones too.

I hope you write a book. I love to hear your stories about hunting in Ca. back in the day. Some of the areas you mention I have hunted and it's fasinating to think what it was like before I ever hunted it. When did you live in Salton Sea area ? When I was a kid I lived in Palm Desert and Palm Spring for 5 yrs. We used to go to Salton Sea often to catch covina, sargo and croker. In the late 80's to about 1998 I had a friend I hunted with who was a State Game Warden who worked there and lived in Indio. The mount looks like bowievel's/moths ate the hair. I see that when I don't take the hide off the scull caps on antlers I cut off and hang on the garage rafters. A mess of hair falling. Your Wyoming and Sierra hunts interest me the most. This will be my 30th yr. in a row hunting Wy. and the X zones in the Sierra's are my favorite zones. I have always said if I ever move and if it is going to be in this f'ed up state, it's going to be to Bishop. Mammoth would be nice but higher prices and tourist. I spend time at a cabin at Convict Lake every year Memorial Weeked. If not, I'm either moving to Cody or my property near Alcova, Wy. Keep the stories coming, I know a lot of other's here love them too !
I didn't live at the Salton Sea, my Dad did. When he retired in 1973 he moved there (near Niland)from Downey. Him and my Mom lived there until 2005 when he just got too old to take care of his duck club. My Dad owned a duck club since 1956, so I spent a lot of time hunting ducks, geese and doves there. Caught lots of fish out of the Sea too. Too bad the fish have mostly disappeared.
Probably will get back to the Sierras next fall to hunt with the family. Looks like Dad won't make it that long, so I am planning to take part of his ashes to his favorite place to hunt up there and scatter them next to where his Dad's (my Grandfather)are.

Sorry to here about both of your families health problems. I've hunted ducks and geese on the south/east side of the sea before many years ago. The salt content there is so high now that I don't think the fish can handle it. What X zone are you going to hunt in Sierra's Are you talking about next fall/next year ? I showed my son where/what mtn. I wan't my ashes "Burried" in Wy.. I have a friend that burried his dad's ashes "Urn" ? in the mountains where I shot my bighorn in Ca.. He want's his there also.

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (AP) — A judge has found a central Ohio man responsible for the death of his 3-year-old son, who accidentally shot himself in the head with his father's loaded handgun.
A judge convicted 25-year-old Joshua Heagren on Monday of child endangering and negligent homicide. He could face up to three years in prison when he's sentenced later.
Authorities say Lucas Heagren found the loaded .45-caliber handgun under a couch in the family home in Mt. Vernon and shot himself last May.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/XuyTMD) reports that photos presented by prosecutors of Joshua Heagren showing his son how to shoot a gun were critical to the case.
Heagren testified he normally kept the handgun under his mattress, but he had slipped it under the couch because he planned to go shooting later.

Ed. Note: Visit the Open Developer Day wiki for more info.
This coming Monday the commission will play host to a one-of-a-kind event in federal government. We're calling on coders, programmers and developers of all stripes to join us at FCC headquarters for our first ever Open Developer Day. This will be a rare opportunity for developers in the public and private sectors to join forces. Out of this gathering will come innovations, collaborations, and continued open government partnership.
Central to Monday's event will be three tracks weaving their way through the day. Equipped with our laptops and the fellowship of sharp friends we'll be working through accessibility solutions and open APIs; and we'll host a Free Develop, an open-ended developer free-for-all. FCC tech minds and leadership will open the event, situating our Developer Day within the larger open government movement.
Programmers from the Yahoo! Developer Network will be on hand to demo their tools and provide guidance. They will give an overview of YQL, their query language which allows developers to "access and shape data across the Internet through one simple language, eliminating the need to learn how to call different APIs." We will also see a demonstration of their YUI Library, a set of "utilities and controls … for building richly interactive web applications."
An undertone, pervading a significant strand of the discussion, will be the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act. In signing the act last month, President Obama said the act "will make it easier for people who are deaf, blind or live with a visual impairment to do what many of us take for granted… It sets new standards so that Americans with disabilities can take advantage of the technology our economy depends on."
The full day event will start at 9:00am and take place in Washington, DC at FCC headquarters. All developers are welcome free of charge. Bring a laptop and RSVP soon. If you're not in the DC area and are unable to make it down here, we will be live streaming portions of the day. You can also join the discussion on Twitter using the hashtag #fccdevday. To email questions write to livequestions [at] fcc [dot] gov. You can participate by visiting Accessible Event, and entering the event code 005202376. For any TTY issues please contact Pam Gregory (pam.gregory [at] fcc [dot] gov).
Start getting excited for Monday. We'll see you there.

Hey everybody,
I try to find a way to use the WebClient from ZCS as stand-alone imap/mail-client for an existing postfix-/dovecot-installation.
I already use SquirrelMail for that, but the ZCS-WebClient looks more Outlook-alike... :rolleyes:
Is it possible, not to set up the whole ZCS-thing, but just link that WebClient to my existing imap-mail-environment instead?
Thanks in advance.
Regards, [me]

Updated on 06-18-2014 by Simon Hill: Updated to add typing problem, apps won't load glitch, and connecting to PC issue.
The Kindle Fire range has been a success story for Amazon, claiming as much as 33 percent of the Android tablet market. It all started with the original Kindle Fire, but Amazon has upgraded and overhauled its Android offerings since then. The Kindle Fire HDX comes in two sizes (with a 7-inch or an 8.9-inch screen) and it plugs you directly into Amazon's world of content.
Feedback on the devices has been generally positive. However, even the most popular products have a downside and, beyond being limited to Amazon's content offerings, there are a few Kindle Fire HDX problems you may encounter. We also deal with some common Kindle Fire HD problems. Below are solutions and workarounds to try and help you get past them.
Related: Kindle Fire review, Kindle Fire tips and tricks.
Problem: Keyboard typing erratically
Some owners have reported a strange issue with their Kindle Fire tablet where it fails to type correctly. It may produce a random collection of characters rather than what the user is typing, sometimes it may delete words, or skip pages by itself.
Potential solutions:
- First, you should try cleaning the touchscreen using a microfiber cloth. Make sure that any case you are using is fitted correctly, and check there are no air bubbles if you're using a screen protector.
- Try holding down the power button for 20 seconds to turn it off and then press the power button to turn it on again.
- Make sure your Kindle Fire is fully charged and repeat step 2.
- You could try a factory reset, but you'll lose all of your content, so backup first. Swipe down from the top and tap Settings > Device > Reset to Factory Defaults > Reset.
- If you still experience the problem after factory resetting then it's time to contact Amazon.
Glitch: "An internal error occurred"
A number of people have been getting the message "An internal error occurred" when trying to load certain apps, possibly followed by "This can be caused by a lack of network connectivity. Please make sure you have a good network connection."
Potential solutions:
- Turn your router off and on again.
- Hold down the power button on your Kindle for 20 seconds and then turn it on again.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap More > Applications > Installed Applications and find the app that won't load. Tap Force Stop and OK, then tap Clear Data and OK.
- Make sure that the date and time are correct by swiping down from the top and tapping More > Date and Time.
- Try deregistering your Kindle Fire HD by swiping down from the top and tapping More > My Account > Deregister. Now register it again and see if that worked.
Problem: Connecting to PC
A lot of people have trouble connecting their Kindle Fire, HD, or HDX to their desktop PC. You might be trying to move files over and encounter the message "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." Perhaps you can't get it to show up under Computer as a drive, so there's no way to drag and drop files.
- Use an app like Dropbox to wirelessly transfer files.
- You could also email files to yourself if you don't have many and they aren't very large.
Potential solutions:
- First of all, try turning both your Kindle (hold down power for 20 seconds) and your PC off and on again.
- Make sure that your Kindle Fire tablet is fully charged.
- Try using a different USB cable.
- If you have another spare one, then try plugging it into a different USB port.
- If you're using a Windows XP or Vista PC then make sure you have the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit installed.
Problem: Purple or blue haze on the screen
Some people reported a purple or blue haze around the edges of the Kindle Fire HDX screen which is particularly noticeable when the background is white. It seems to vary in intensity on different devices. If you have a major problem then it's down to a manufacturing flaw, so you should be able to get a replacement.
- Contact Amazon or use the Mayday service and report the problem. If it is clearly noticeable then you should be able to get a replacement. There's a distinction between a slight blue tint, which is considered normal, and a major haze around the edges, as some people have encountered.
Amazon did post a clarification about its use of blue LEDs which stated "As a result of using these blue LEDs, you may notice a very narrow, faint blue tint around the edge of the device when looking at items with a white background, such as books or web pages. All displays have some level of light emission around the edges, and the light on the Kindle Fire HDX 7″ is blue due to the technology used to render perfect color accuracy."
Malfunction: Overheating
Some users have reported issues with the Kindle Fire HD overheating while playing games, watching movies, or surfing the Web. In extreme cases the overheating causes the tablet to shut down. You will probably find the problem is worse when you have a case on the device, so try removing it and check the difference. All tablets get warm in use, but if your Kindle Fire HD is getting uncomfortably hot or automatically shutting down when in use then you have a faulty piece of hardware.
Solution: You have to contact Amazon and get a replacement tablet.
Annoyance: Email is not working or not updating
A number of users have struggled to get their email accounts working correctly on the Kindle Fire HD. Several reports suggest that the email will work for a small period of time and then inexplicably stop working and others report that they cannot get it to work at all. This seems to be a common problem for Verizon and Comcast customers, but it has cropped up for people with other ISPs as well. This is possibly caused by a problem with the native email app on the Kindle Fire HD because some people have reported that installing a third-party app worked for them.
- Try a free third-party email app such as K-9 Mail or Kaiten Mail.
- Buy a third-party email app such as Enhanced Email.
Glitch: It won't start up or freezes during use
Some people encounter freezes when they are using the Kindle Fire HD or HDX and others report that the tablet won't power on.
Possible solutions:
- Try rebooting the device by holding down the power button for 20 seconds and then tap the power button to turn it back on.
- Try holding down the power button for 20 seconds and when the device is completely off plug in the charger, then hit the power button again to turn the device on. If you think the battery might be dead then leave it to charge for an hour before you try turning it back on.
Problem: Device won't charge
Various battery-related problems have been raised by Kindle Fire HD owners. Issues range from a complete refusal to charge, to a partial charge, to a very slow charge. There are a few things you can double check and try before contacting Amazon. Remember that charging with Amazon's cable and the optional charger should take four hours, while charging it using the USB plug on your computer will take 13.5 hours.
Possible solutions:
- Hold down the power button for 20 seconds to power off and then try plugging in the charger.
- Make sure you are using the cable that you got with your Kindle Fire HD. If you didn't buy the Amazon Kindle PowerFast for Accelerated Charging which costs an extra $20 then you need to check the rating on the charger you are using. A full charge should take 4 hours using the Amazon charger and cable. Many other device chargers will work just as well, here's an example from PowerGen that's only $10 (although if you use the dual charging feature it will charge more slowly). If you are using another charger with a lower rating then it will work, but it might take a lot longer and it can cause synchronization problems with the battery monitor so it might not display accurately how much power the battery has left.
- Try the charger with another device to make sure it is working.
- If the charging light doesn't come on (it should be orange when charging and green when charged), try pushing the cable in more or gently moving it. Some Kindle Fire HDs have loose ports and if that's the case you'll want to contact Amazon and get a replacement.
Glitch: It won't connect to Wi-Fi
There are all sorts of reasons that your Kindle Fire HD or HDX won't connect to a Wi-Fi network. If you find that you can't connect to Wi-Fi then there are a couple of simple things worth trying. Make sure you don't have Airplane Mode on and that you do have Wi-Fi on via the notifications bar More > Wireless.
Possible solutions:
- Try holding the power button for a second and when "Do you want to shut down your Kindle?" pops up tap "Shut Down". Turn off your router. Now turn both of them back on again.
- Try rebooting the device by holding down the power button for 20 seconds and then tap the power button to turn it back on.
- Before you start, make sure your Kindle Fire HD is fully charged. Reset the Kindle Fire HD to factory settings by pulling down the notifications bar and then tap More > My Account > Deregister and read the text then tap Deregister to confirm. Bring the notifications bar down again and hit More > Device > Reset to Factory Defaults, read the text and tap Erase Everything. You'll have to set up your Wi-Fi network again from scratch.
- Download the free Wi-fi Analyzer app and make sure that busy channels are not your problem. This will also reveal any signal strength issues.
If you still can't connect it might be because your router is unsupported or you have the router set to the wrong channel. It is best to refer to your ISP and check what else you can try.
Problem: No sound through speakers or headphones
Quite a few people have reported issues with the audio coming through the speakers or the headphones on both the Kindle Fire HD and HDX tablets. There are probably a few separate issues going on here, so here are a few things you can try.
Potential solutions:
- It's obvious, but start by trying the volume rocker on the side of the tablet and check in Settings > Display & Sounds.
- If the speakers aren't playing any sound then try plugging in your headphones and unplugging them again, or reboot the tablet by holding down the power button for 20 seconds until it turns completely off, then tap the button again to turn it back on. This could be caused by unplugging your headphones when the tablet is asleep, so it erroneously believes your headphones are still plugged in and doesn't play sound through the speakers.
- If you're having a problem with the headphones and you have a case on the device, then try removing the case and plug the headphones in. Some cases appear to have a cut-out for the headphone jack, but it may, in fact, be too small; Or, due to the design of the plug, it might prevent good contact.
- It is also possible you have a faulty jack or speakers. If you hear static or distortion, or you find that gently jiggling the headphone jack produces audio then you might want to contact Amazon and find out about getting a replacement.
Glitch: Screen flicker
There have been several reports of flickering Kindle Fire HDX screens. Some people have encountered this issue with specific apps or games, while others are suffering from it constantly. It may be a pulsing flicker or a fast temporary flickering. You can try a couple of things to solve this issue.
- Pull down the notification shade and tap Brightness and then turn Auto-Brightness to Off.
- Hold down the power button for 20 seconds and then tap it to bring the tablet back to life and the problem may be resolved temporarily.
Potential solutions:
- If you have a case or cover then perhaps it is interfering with the brightness sensor. Try removing it and see if there's a difference in behavior. You can also try manually setting the brightness to a specific level.
- Try the Mayday feature to contact Amazon and arrange a replacement, some people report encountering the same problem on a replacement tablet, but there's a good chance you won't.
Problem: Silk browser crashing or not starting
A lot of Kindle Fire HDX owners have run into issues with the pre-installed Silk browser. It is criticized for being slow and for an unfortunate tendency to freeze and crash a lot.
- Try the usual reboot, hold down the power button for 20 seconds and then tap it again to turn back on.
- Go to Settings > Applications > Manage All Applications and then choose All Applications > Silk Browser and tap Clear data.
Potential solutions:
- If Silk won't start it might be because you have Parental Controls on (this blocks access by default). You can check in Settings > Parental Controls.
- Try an alternative browser like Maxthon Mobile or Dolphin Browser.
More Kindle Fire HD problems
That's it for now. If you have any other Kindle Fire HD problems or solutions, please post a comment and share them. Remember that you can access some help on the device itself by dragging down the notifications bar and tapping More > Help & Feedback.
Updated on 01-04-2013 by Simon Hill: Updated to add sound problems, screen flicker glitch, Silk browser issues, and update for Wi-Fi problem.
Updated on 10-28-2013 by Simon Hill: Updated to cater for the new Kindle Fire HDX tablets, added the purple or blue haze screen problem for the HDX.

May 24, 2016
Washington, DC - January 20, 2013
Scientists are attempting something dramatically different in the quest to stave off the creeping memory loss of Alzheimer's disease. They're using "brain pacemakers."
Brain surgery for Alzheimer's may sound radical, but the first U.S. experiments with these implants are getting under way.
It's not easy.
Surgeons must drill holes into a patient's skull. Then they implant tiny wires that shoot out mild jolts of electricity. By constantly zapping certain brain circuits, scientists hope to bypass some of Alzheimer's damage and keep neural networks active for longer.
There's a big caution.
This research is in its infancy. Only a few dozen people with early-stage Alzheimer's symptoms will get the implants in a handful of hospitals. They'll be tracked closely for a few years to see how they fare.

This year they did not disappoint with a beautifully styled and uniquely illuminated event space. The patrons brought their sense of fashion out for the event filled with cocktails, dinner, dancing, and of course the coronation! While the Princesses are all beautiful, they back it up with brains and community involvement that makes them the total package. It was a fantastic time had by all, filled with some tasteful trends and some not-so-tasteful ones... I'll let you be the judge.
Fashionably Yours,
Chic Geek
