Clark County residents eager to celebrate Earth Day this weekend likely won't have to look far to find something close to home.
Earth Day technically arrives Sunday. But local Earth Day events — tree plantings, cleanups and fairs among them — won't wait that long. Here's a partial list:
• Captain William Clark Park cleanup: The Port of Camas-Washougal will host a cleanup along the Columbia River for the third consecutive year. Participants are invited to gather at Washougal's Captain William Clark Park on Friday afternoon. Volunteers should meet by the restrooms at Recognition Plaza in the park, according to the port.
The cleanup will last from about 3:30 to 5 p.m. Friday. Garbage bags, gloves and refreshments will be provided.
• Central Park cleanup: The Vancouver Watersheds Alliance and Oregon-based nonprofit SOLVE will host a community cleanup in Vancouver's Central Park area Saturday.
Volunteers will gather at 9 a.m. at the Marshall Community Center, 1009 E. McLoughlin Blvd. After starting the day with donated bagels and coffee, participants will break into groups and clean up the area, organizers said. The effort will extend as far as the Columbia River to the south, according to the watersheds alliance.
Residents can find a registration form at Vancouver Watersheds Alliance, though it's not required to participate. Volunteers should wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes. Gloves and trash bags will be provided.
The cleanup will continue through at least noon.
• EcoFair: An "EcoFair" and tree plantings will highlight an Earth Day celebration Saturday at Salmon Creek Regional Park, near Klineline Pond. The event, hosted by Clark Public Utilities' StreamTeam, is now in its 13th year and includes more than 40 participating organizations, according to the utility.
Plantings will start at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, wrapping up at about 12:30 p.m. Workers will also pull non-native garlic mustard plants. Volunteers must register in advance to participate.
The free EcoFair offers nature walks and talks, entertainment and information booths from local environmental organizations and businesses. Other activities include a wildlife show, painting and disc golf. The fair will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Clark County's Environmental Services Department is a cohost of the event.
More information about the planting and EcoFair is available at Stream Team or by calling 360-992-8585.
• Burnt Bridge Creek planting: SOLVE will also host a planting Saturday along Vancouver's Burnt Bridge Creek, putting native plants around the popular greenway that surrounds it.
Participants will gather in a gravel lot at the end of Northeast 65th Avenue, just south of 18th Street in Vancouver. A truck will be available for storing personal items. The cleanup will last from about 9 a.m. to noon.
• Do-It-Yourself Fair: Clark County's Environmental Services department will cosponsor an Earth Day fair geared toward sustainable practices. The Do-It-Yourself Fair lasts from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Clark College's Gaiser Hall, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way.
The fair will cover a wide variety of home-related topics: recycling, composting, weatherization, rain barrels, rain gardens, mold, radon and lead, among others. A series of presentations from nearly a dozen partners will help participants learn how to incorporate more environmentally friendly practices into their lives.
Attendees can also bring up to four grocery bags full of documents for shredding at the fair, according to organizers.
More information is available at Clark County Environmental Services.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: English, German
The Sage family has descended through the lines of the ancient Normans that came to England following their Conquest of England in 1066. The Sage name reveals that an early member was a wise or learned person. Further research showed the name was derived from the Old French word sage, meaning wise.
The surname Sage was first found in Devon where they held a family seat from early times.
Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Sage family name include Sage, Sayge and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Sage research. Another 189 words (14 lines of text) covering the years 1066, 1536, 1652, 1652, 1711 and 1652 are included under the topic Early Sage History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 53 words (4 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Sage Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the Sage family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 63 words (4 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Sage family to immigrate North America:
Sage Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Sage Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Sage Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Sage Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Sage Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Sage Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
The Sage Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Sage Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

I was just reading your (Aug. 8) article about the London plane (hybrid sycamore) trees causing allergies in some people in the VanMall area, but that they cannot be removed because "the city's tree preservation ordinance implemented in 1996 protects them." Driving west down Northeast 51st Street from Thurston the other day, I noticed many beautiful maples and other green-leaf trees lining the sidewalk had been removed. They've been there for more than 13 years. What a travesty! Who gave the orders to remove them? And why?
— Sandra Tremmel, Van Mall
Charles Ray, Vancouver's urban forester and a big fan of trees, had this to say by email: "The city of Vancouver strives to protect and preserve healthy, mature trees from unnecessary removal or destruction. Healthy trees reduce stormwater runoff, increase property values, enhance the livability of our neighborhoods and more."
But, Ray pointed out, the key to healthy, thriving trees is planting them in the right place and giving them the right care and pruning.
"We recognize … that there are cases where tree removal may ultimately become an unavoidable or necessary option. For a variety of reasons, sometimes the wrong tree is in the wrong spot," he said.
"In this case, the Bold Estates Homeowners Association approached the city for a permit to remove street trees that were too large for the 4-foot planting strip, had been planted too close together and were continuing to grow and crowd," Ray said. "Over the years, the HOA had made multiple attempts to fix the sidewalks and deal with the problems. Urban Forestry worked with the HOA to help find options that could ultimately maximize future growth of our urban tree canopy."
This fall, Ray said, the removed trees will be replaced with new and more site-appropriate trees that can grow and thrive "with the least amount of future conflicts."

While an employment report released Friday showed strong jobs numbers nationally for February, the University of Connecticut's latest projections for the Norwich-New London area were far more pessimistic.
A quarterly analysis released Friday by UConn predicted that the region, which saw employment reduced by about 3,000 last year, will see further, less dramatic job erosions in 2013, numbering less than 1,000. The Norwich-New London area already had been singled out as one of the regions in the country that has been the slowest to climb out of the lingering effects of the Great Recession.
The region's unemployment rate, at 8.7 percent during the final quarter of last year, is expected to remain well above the national and state averages, hovering in the 9 percent range, according to the latest edition of The Connecticut Economy, a quarterly UConn publication.
"Unemployment rates seem likely to remain elevated in 2013," the quarterly's executive editor, Steven P. Lanza, said in the report. "All the major regions are apt to see higher jobless rates in 2013, particularly New London, though rates should remain below their 2010 recession peaks."
The UConn projections came out the same day a national jobs report indicated that the United States gained 236,000 jobs last month. Also, the national jobless rate fell from 7.9 percent in January to 7.7 percent in February, the lowest number in four years, the U.S. Department of Labor said.
Lanza, in a phone interview, said the jobs drag in southeastern Connecticut is broadly based, but the government and leisure-and-hospitality sectors are particularly hard-hit here.
Government-sector jobs, down 4 percent here while off only 1 percent in the rest of the state, include workers at both Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun, which have had to reduce their workforces because of declining revenues. Leisure and hospitality hiring, which was up pretty much across the board throughout Connecticut last quarter, fell only in southeastern Connecticut, Lanza said.
"The Norwich-New London area is the one big area of the state that is especially job-challenged," he said.
The rest of the state isn't exactly roaring back, either.
The report said jobs statewide rose by only about 4,000 last year, though the state Department of Labor expects adjusted numbers coming out later this year could boost the figure closer to 10,000. By comparison, according to Lanza, a typical recovery year in the past has seen about 25,000 jobs statewide — though recent recoveries have been closer to 15,000.
"To talk about adding 4,000 jobs out of 1.5 million workers, that's not a whole lot of jobs," Lanza said.
Statewide job growth this year is seen as more problematic. The report said jobs were likely to be flat or decline slightly in the four major regions of Connecticut, with only the Hartford and New Haven regions likely to see gains.
Housing, seen as a bright spot in the state's economy last year, isn't expected to prop up the local market, according to the report. Housing prices for constant-quality homes and new-housing permits in the region are expected to be weaker in 2013 than they were last year, Lanza said.
Permits in the Norwich-New London area could rival the lows of the housing slump between 2009 and 2011, the report indicated.
While Lanza said he doesn't think most attempts to stack the deck in favor of economic growth are effective — saying it's better if the government invests in innovative capabilities and allows the market to decide the most promising initiatives — he did strike a positive note about Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposal to spend $1.5 billion over the next few years to grow STEM jobs, or positions in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
"STEM won't guarantee a future jackpot," Lanza said in the report, "but since that's where the regional action appears to be, for this recovery at least, it may not be a bad bet."

Griffiths, Phil (2011) Notes on early trade unionism in Townsville. The Queensland Journal of Labour History (13). pp. 17-23. ISSN 1832-9926
The article describes some early trade union organising in Townsville, using one local newspaper as its source. It finds that publicans and other small business people played an important role on trade union committees, as presidents, treasurers and in negotiations with employers.

I want to convert a solution of
<select /> box chaining I've already built to use KnockoutJS. Here's how it works now:
I have a database that is full of products that have attributes and those have values which in turn have a dependency on another selected value.
product > attributes > values > dependency
bench > length > 42" > (height == 16")
In my database we also store what values are dependent on other values. e.g. length can only be 42" if the height is 16" or something like that.
This comes from the server to a JSON object on the client that contains all of the attributes, values and dependencies for the product in a tree like form.
var product =
dependencies: [{dependencyOp}]
I'll loop through each value and its dependency for the entire object and build an expression like "16 == 14 && 4 == 4" which would evaluate to false of course (14 being the selected value from another attribute). in that expression the && would be the dependencyOp in the dependencies array.
Now in my attempt I used KnockoutJS mapping plugin to get the object to be my view model but my problem is when I make a dependentObservable that needs to know what its dependant on. So now I would have to loop through every single array/object in my product variable?

Stoke will let Asmir Begovic join Liverpool or Chelsea
ASMIR BEGOVIC will be allowed to join Liverpool or Chelsea after Stoke chairman Peter Coates admitted he wouldn't stop the Bosnian leaving.
If top clubs come in for your players, I do not think you can deny them the opportunity
Begovic would command a fee of around £15m and Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in snapping him up.
Coates said: "Asmir is a super professional player.
"We like him very much. He is a top, top goalkeeper - I think he is as good as anybody in the Premier League.
"But he is also ambitious. If top clubs come in for your players, I do not think you can deny them the opportunity."
Although he won't be sold on the cheap.
Coates added: "But it would depend very much on the money being right. We are not looking to sell him.
"We are not expecting to sell him. We expect him to be our goalkeeper next season."

After I wrote Paulo Freire's Philosophy of Education and the 'Politics of Capoeira' students and friends became more curious to discuss his work. His method has been a frequent topic in classes, trips, and e-mail conversations. Looking for resources in English I found some bits and pieces of interviews, seminars, and websites that might help those still not familiar with his theories and methods while searching for his books. For those who have been looking at issues of hierarchy, ethics, 'culture shock', and group/style rivalry, these sources may come in useful. Continue reading

Paulo Freire's Libertarian Philosophy of Education and the 'Politics of Capoeira'. 2/2
Politicking is a power and money-driven practice of a few, which causes the withdrawal of many devoted students and young instructors in Capoeira. Conversely, politics can be a way to engage and take action against politicking and other unhealthy practices within the art. A way of re-organising Capoeira towards more noble values and purposes within our communities. Freire's argument for a libertarian process of education helps demystify the discussion of a 'neutral' versus a politicised approach to the art. Continue reading
Paulo Freire's Philosophy of Education and the 'Politics of Capoeira'. 1/2
"I have had enough of Capoeira politics!" In 20 years of practice I have lost count of how many nice, talented and devoted-to-the-art friends I have seen leaving Capoeira for this reason. Only that they gave up because of 'politicking' not 'politics'; an important distinction.

Firefox doesn't keep track of the number of users it has but Asa Dotzler, Mozilla's director of community development, said today that the company estimates that there are 270 million people using the browser. That's 35% more users than Facebook has signed up for accounts (200 million), and almost triple the number of people Facebook says log in to the social network every day (100 million).
Why compare user numbers between a browser and a social network? Because there's every reason to believe that the two technologies are converging in the near term future. Here's why we believe that Firefox should be Facebook's biggest competition.
These numbers from Firefox are pretty conservative. DownloadSquad's Lee Mathews estimates that the real number could be closer to 340 million Firefox users. That's three and a half times the number of people Facebook says log in to its service daily.
This isn't an apples and oranges situation, either.
Though we may not be sure about his prediction that Google will act before Firefox, we think Forrester's Jeremiah Owyang offers a very compelling vision of the future of browsers and social networks in his excellent report The Future of the Social Web.
"... in a bid to extend the reach of its new browser, Chrome, we expect Google to build OpenID and its associated friend connections into the browser; look for Firefox and eventually Internet Explorer to copy this feature. Facebook and MySpace will also likely build a way for users to surf the Web within the Facebook experience, retaining the social functionality. These connections won't be perfect, but they'll allow social networks to colonize communities and other parts of the Web, extending their experience out to other sites through the shared ID. As a result, in two years, portable identities will become a ubiquitous part of the online experience as they reach maturity."
It's only logical to extrapolate from that analysis that the line between browsers and social networks will become much less clear and the two types of software will very likely compete with each other.
The Browser as Social Network, Social Network as Browser
Within months not years, the Firefox browser is likely to look very, very different. The company must be scrambling to innovate even more than we can know, now that its primary source of revenue (Google) has launched its own browser. Both Firefox and Facebook are probably working very hard to figure out new models of generating advertising revenues - something both are dependent on but neither can take for granted.
Three weeks ago we wrote about the organization's plans to build the command-line-type Ubiquity system into the address bar. That means your "apps" will be accessed and controlled through your browser.
If Facebook is looking more and more like an Operating System with its app platform, Firefox is too - with the added advantage of having access to apps on the desktop, the web and integrated Rich Internet Applications. Facebook launched its own desktop interface last week and we would be willing to bet that it is going to become much more browser-like in the near future, but Firefox has a huge running start in that department.
Facebook already has its own frames it uses for links shared through the site, holding the browsing experience inside the Facbook ethos. It's not hard to imagine a search bar being placed inside that frame.
In that same post about Ubiquity in Firefox we also looked at the Firefox user experience team's experimentation with removing the tabs from the browser and replacing them with an interface that looks a lot like iTunes.
Just like iTunes is all about the playlists, organizing content by type and category, Firefox may also start offering ways to organize the information you consume passively by browsing. Two weeks ago we covered proposals by Firefox lead designer Alex Faaborg to capture events, location and other microformatted information and serve it up other applications like Google Earth and calender.
Would Facebook like to build value on top of the data it collects from your browsing around the web? You'd better believe it would, undoubtedly that's a big part of the vision behind the much celebrated Facebook Connect. Facebook Connect requires that users give their permission to Facebook each time they want to connect it and the relative handful of pages that support the Connect login system. Firefox has a huge advantage in that it has de facto permission by users to interact with all the data from all the pages we visit in the browser. Facebook is going to want that too.
Firefox's Faaborg sees the browser as a first-class player in questions of Identity and Data Portability as well (much like Owyang predicts above). All Firefox has to do is start offering messaging between users and a News Feed of user activity across all the social networks people use already. Firefox could use Facebook Connect, for one thing. How well could Facebook compete with social software that prioritizes multiple personas (work/friends seeing different sides of you) and breaks free from the walled gardens of standard social networking? Those are approaches that Facebook will no doubt be moving towards soon as well.
Finally, Firefox is fighting hard in the mobile space. This is one place where Facebook already has a huge leg up. It will be a primary point of competition between the two companies in the future.
Another place where Facebook has a very big advantage is that it has a staff proven very skilled at building fundamentally social software. That's less the case with Firefox, whose developers and developer ecosystem are grounded in a history of the browser as a private affair.
Picture this, though. Add messaging, public profiles and activity streams to Firefox and we can imagine Ashton Kutcher level hype - no problem. Firefox may or may not be able to execute on these types of ideas across all their users, but their odds aren't bad and the browser turning social network already has far more active users than the social network turning browser does.

Rita Ora Discusses First Encounters With HustleGRL
"As one of the hottest acts out of the UK since Adele, Rita Ora has certainly been making a name for herself. With a handful of strong solo hits and a deal that places her within the Roc Nation family, there seems to be no limit as to how high her star will rise. Recently, while in Toronto for a promotional tour, Rita took some time out of her busy schedule to sit down and answer some infrequently asked questions with hustleGRL.com — all while politely refusing any possible requests for a date from the "reporter"."

I act for you
As I would for myself.

Dietary Supplement
Soy Free ~ Non-GMOEconomy Size
Healthy Origins® Razberi-K® raspberry ketones are the perfect addition to your diet and exercise program.*
A raspberry ketone is a natural phenolic compound which is responsible for a raspberry's wonderful aroma. Raspberry ketones have been used for decades in a natural flavoring and aromatic industry. However, due to the excessive cost, very limited supply and low yields, raspberry ketones were never studied for any other application...until recently. Scientists have now found a way to make a high purity, reasonably priced raspberry ketone. This enables people to ingest the proper amount of raspberry ketones for their body weight without spending a fortune on the product.*

Transparency is crucial to drive improvements in the way development co-operation is delivered globally
I have said many times since taking office in September that I want Britain and our development budget to be a real force for good in the world. Next year, for the first time ever, the government will meet the target for 0.7% of the UK's gross national income to be spent on development.
But with this commitment comes a huge responsibility to ensure the money is spent wisely. We have a duty to ensure British taxpayers can see how funds are being used. This means continuing the drive for value for money, transparency and results started by my predecessor Andrew Mitchell.
In the past two years DfID has changed the way it approaches development, reviewing every country's aid programme, as well as multilateral bodies like the UN, to target what offers best value. Direct funding has been refocussed on 28 countries, down from 43, including ending our aid programmes to China and Russia and I recently announced an end to any financial grants to India. We have also stopped funding multilateral bodies that didn't deliver good value for money.[view whole blog post ]

Heroes of Their Own Lives
The Politics and History of Family Violence--Boston, 1880-1960
In this unflinching history of family violence, the historian Linda Gordon traces policies on child abuse and neglect, wife-beating, and incest from 1880 to 1960. Drawing on hundreds of case records from social agencies devoted to dealing with the problem, Gordon chronicles the changing visibility of family violence as gender, family, and political ideologies shifted.
From the "discovery" of family violence in the 1870s�-when it was first identified as a social, rather than personal, problem�-to the women's and civil rights movements of the twentieth century, Heroes of Their Own Lives illustrates how public perceptions of marriage, poverty, alcoholism, mental illness, and responsibility worked for and against the victims of family violence.
Powerful, moving, and tightly argued, Heroes of Their Own Lives shows family violence to be an indicator of larger social problems. Examining its sources as well as its treatment, Gordon offers both an honest understanding of the problem and an unromantic view of the difficulties in stopping it.

Aubrey McClendon's vision has positive impact on Oklahoma City
Throughout my career in Oklahoma's oil and gas industry, I've had the good fortune to develop friendships with some of our state's most visible figures, including my former business partner and good friend, Aubrey McClendon.
A recent series in The Oklahoman focused on real estate and development projects that are currently up in the air or unfinished as the leadership at Chesapeake Energy Corp. changes. What wasn't mentioned was the immense positive impact that Aubrey's vision has had on Oklahoma City. Ignored was the work that's been accomplished to date. In fact, I'd say much of the good that has happened to Oklahoma City in the past 10 years has been due to Aubrey's influence.
Consider the community support that Aubrey engineered during his time at Chesapeake. In 2012, Chesapeake donated $32 million to charitable organizations and projects throughout its operating areas nationwide, supporting community development, health, education and social services. In Oklahoma alone, that number totaled $24 million. Companywide United Way contributions were $6.3 million in 2012, with $5.5 million raised for the United Way's Central Oklahoma chapter alone, by far the largest single contribution to the $22.2 million campaign.
Recently, Chesapeake provided a $1 million match to Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, the largest matching gift challenge in the organization's history. That's not counting his personal contributions.
Not only is he an incredible supporter of our nonprofits, his efforts, both as CEO of Chesapeake and as a community leader, have stimulated the city's economy and brought Okahoma City and the state to a level of national attention. As a part owner of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Aubrey has given us an incredibly talented team of players to support. Ticket sales and other revenue generated from the Thunder have been a tremendous boon to Oklahoma City's economy.
Aubrey helped transform the area along the Oklahoma River, formerly a muddy ditch, into a top-notch training facility for rowers and kayakers, including a community boathouse. His vision for Chesapeake and its campus sparked a building boom surrounding the NW 63 and Western area, attracting the city's first Whole Foods, among many other shops and restaurants that have moved into the Classen Curve shopping centers. Chesapeake has grown to approximately 13,000 employees, who each contribute to and support the growth of our city.
Having known and worked with Aubrey for many years, I can attest to his commitment and passion for our city. To thrive, a city must have visionaries who are willing to step outside of their own boundaries and take the risks necessary to change mindsets and establish newer, broader norms. Aubrey is that kind of visionary.
The people of Oklahoma City owe him, at a minimum, a word of thanks. His contributions will be felt by the city for a long time; his leadership will continue even after his time at Chesapeake. We can only hope that the new management and other leaders will share his vision and commitment to our city.
