The Al-Nuri Hospital
Nur al-Din al-Zangi was the first great leader to first defeat the crusaders, over half a century after they set foot on Islamic land. It was said of him that he was a just, pious and charitable monarch.
ln 1154 Nur-al-Din Zangi built a hospital in Damascus. It was called al-Nuri, or al-Zangi.
The revenues of the hospital according to al-Maqrizi owe to the fact that Nur-al-Din had made prisoner a European king, and had planned to have him executed. But the king paid as his ransom, four forts and 500,000 dinars, and he was put at liberty. Nur-al-Din decided to use this ransom to build the hospital in Damascus that was named after him. Ibn abi Usaybi'ah wrote:
"When Nur-al-Din built the Grand Bimaristan he appointed as the director Abul Majd al-Bahilli. This physician went regularly to the hospital to care for the patients, to examine them and to give the necessary orders to the attendants and servants who worked under his direction. After that this physician went to the citadel to examine the dignitaries and the noblemen that were ill. This task completed he returned to the hospital, sat in the liwan (vestibule hall) richly furnished, and commenced his lectures."
Nur-al-Din furnished and endowed this hospital with many books on medicine that were kept in two great cases in the center of the liwan. The physicians and practitioners assembled before him to discuss medical subjects and to listen to the lectures that Abul Majd gave his pupils. These discussions and lectures lasted three hours. Khalil ibn-Shahine al-Zahiri told about his visit to Damascus :
"I was accompanied by a distinguished and affable Persian. When he visited the al-Nuri hospital and saw the diets, the utilities and the comforts to be found there, he decided to see for himself, what being a patient was like in that hospital. He pretended illness and was admitted to the hospital. There the medical chief visited him every day and took his pulse and prescribed his diet, consisting of a variety of meats, fat chickens, candies and drinks and fresh fruits. On the third day the doctor told him that such patients were not allowed to stay more than three days, and asked him to leave."

Abu al-Qasim Khalaf ibn al-Abbas Al-Zahrawi (936-1013 CE), also known in the West as Albucasis, was an Andalusian physician. He is considered as the greatest surgeon in the Islamic medical tradition. His comprehensive medical texts, combining Middle Eastern and Greco-Roman classical teachings, shaped European surgical procedures up until the Renaissance. His greatest contribution to history is Kitab al-Tasrif, a thirty-volume collection of medical practice, of which large portions were translated into Latin and in other European languages. Urinary Stone Disease in Arabian Medicine by: A M Dajani, F.R.C.S(Glas.)Urinary stone disease (urolithiasis) was discussed in great detail in Arabian Medicine. Explanations given by Ibn Qurrah, Al Razi, Ibn Sina and Al Zahrawi about the formation and growth of urinary stones do not basically differ from modern concepts.

Posted in Uncategorized on 01/26/2009 08:40 pm by MargaretJanuary 9, 2009
I almost titled this piece "Oops, I Did It Again, AGAIN!" but I didn't just now rejoin Weight Watchers today. I've been a member off and on since September of 1972, when I was 25 and weighed 149 pounds, having gained 25 pounds since my college graduation three years before, most of that in the emotional turmoil I let myself descend into over a broken romance. The whole sorry saga of my love-hate off again-on-again relationship with Weight Watchers is at Refiguring. It starts with February 1, 2006. I don't remember how many of those I transferred to this site. I keep that area going so I have a throwaway version of this set-up to play with. If I try to monkey with the code and something breaks, I really haven't lost anything. I tried out inserting the Blog 365 and The Hunger Site badges there first.
Oh, yeah, The Hunger Site logo. I carry a fair amount of guilt and uneasiness about my social and economic situation, especially regarding the ways I am able to (and choose to) address my obesity. I have never experienced what hunger researchers call "food insecurity." When I say I am hungry, I mean that it has been a few hours (or maybe only twenty minutes) since I had anything to eat. I can eat anything I like, from the best balanced nutritionist-designed menu to a loaf of bread the size of a Honda Civic. I am certainly not a wealthy woman, but I am better off than a whole lot of other people, maybe even most other people. I am so well-off that I can afford to join a club that every week tells me the same thing — eat less, move more.
The title of the latest incarnation of the Weight Watchers plan to eat less and move more is called Momentum. All of the materials are redesigned (which means they don't fit into the carrying cases members may have bought as recently as Thanksgiving), although the program is tweaked only a little. Some old concepts are going by new names. In fact, I don't think there are any new concepts. Nothing beats eat less, move more. The problem is that the directive to "eat less" can be a challenge for some people with different-from-average hormonal and metabolic systems, so that the amount of food allowed to avoid weight gain or even weight maintenance can be un satisfyingly small. And to "move more" can be difficult for people with different-from-average musculoskeletal and orthopedic factors.
The thing I noticed most about the new materials is the absence of pictures of people's faces and bodies. It's mostly food and hands holding food. That seemed odd.
I've been attending the meetings instead of weighing in and ducking out. It can't hurt and it might help. I like to go on Thursday or Friday evenings to meetings that Sandra leads. She's a teacher (high school art) and so has good presentation skills. Tonight there was a woman in the row I was in who had some official-looking badge on and was taking notes on a yellow pad. I heard her tell someone she was an area supervisor, and suddenly I remembered all my tension-filled sessions with a principal sitting in my classroom (such as the one who counted the number of times I said "um," calculated how many ums a minute that was, and recommended a reduced ratio). "Sandra's super," I said to her quietly on my way out.
I did manage to lose .6 pounds this week. (Yes, it's measured in tenths of a pound, A stick of butter is .25 pounds. I lost the equivalent of two sticks and a little for your English muffin.) And I spent four hours today on my fiction work (not writing my own, but reading manuscripts for workshop next week, which can be as important for my own advancement as actual creation is). So I guess I am back to normal, finally.
And back to keeping The Hunger Site logo prominent on my blog and in my mind. The hungry and the homeless are the social outcasts I care about most. Right now my reluctance to leave my comfort zone means that clicking a corporate logo and helping without getting my hands dirty is about all I can do. It can't hurt and it might help. I pray for the day when I will finally do more.
Love it? Hate it? Just want to say hi?

Aloha Sushi Lounge & Hawaiian Grille
Online Reservations
I have bee to Aloha Sushi a few times in the daytime and loved the ambiance. However, I went at night and noticed that without sunlight and happy dinners (it was slow in the evening as compared to busy in the daytime), it looked a little worn. It needed some perking up like fresh flowers on the table or candles or something to give it a great atmosphere like there is in the daytime. No matter when you go, the food is amazing! You won't be disappointed. Great customer service too.
First time here. A little awkward when walking in; no host area to approach but someone seated us within 10 secs. Pretty good service. Waitress came to refill water twice after we were done eating but did to bring check; had to ask. They mixed up cut roll for hand roll; quickly resolved matter in friendly and professional manner. HIGHLY recommend their kalomari (not fried calamari; its seasoned differently on their menu). Not too saucy, sweet or spicy. I was in love with it. Went on a Saturday night around 8 and it was pretty empty. Their (not sushi) bar area was cute, but no one was there for drinks, order or make. Tables inside are slightly a little too close for comfort. Food was great! Service was good. Recommend!!
Aloha Sushi and Hawaiian Grille is a nice place in a great location. There are outdoor and indoor seating as well as private cabanas. The atmosphere is conducive to conversations, but also lively. We ordered teriyaki chicken that came with a side salad and macaroni and island sushi. Both were flavorful and tasted fresh. We ended our meal with fried banana and vanilla ice cream, which had just the right amount of sweetness and the portion was perfect for sharing with someone. Our server was friendly, but had the challenge of attending to customers since there were only two waitresses that evening. The wait was long. The management certainly did not prepare for the volume of customers, otherwise, we would have had a wondering time!
I love going to Aloha Sushi for the ambience. You can reserve one of their cabanas for your meal and have a private, quiet experience. Or, you can sit on the patio and watch the people go by, or you can sit inside at the sushi bar for those who like the bar setting. The food is good and our server was wonderful.
We love the baked Lobster roll and the Jalpeno roll. The servers were great. We enjoyed the sushi and cabanas and will plan to visit here again.
Love the ambiance of this restaurant, especially the private cabanas. Friendly service. Sushi chefs were informative and presented the food well. We had the Kalomari, Tidal wave roll, Jalapeno Roll, and Miso Salmon. We enjoyed our meal and would return again to try other items.
Such a pretty place and the food is good too! Coco shrimp amazin! :)
Excellent choices for rolls, sashimi and plates. Happen to catch Happy Hour which had great discounts of drinks and appetizers. I sat at the sushi bar and was given one on one service from the chef, and table service from the lovely hostess. Will absolutely return here again. GREAT value for large rolls, and large hot sake!

Blair's super 3d Road Grader.
Checking out dailies.. image is blurry because I took the photo during 3d playback. We are in a mobile van, so of course where you sit at the station is closer than one would like, but standing by the door gives you a good idea of how the shots are coming along. I love the instant wow factor you get when you get to see 3d playback moments from when you shot it. 5k 3d.. pretty mindblowing.

After a successful and diverse turnout at last year's 2012 GDC Play debut, GDC Play returns to San Francisco in 2013 as a unique opportunity for emerging developers to showcase their games to fellow GDC attendees.
Please note: the information below refers to GDC 2013.
Inspired by the success of the Independent Games Festival Pavilion at GDC, the new initiative will include space in special Pavilions themed around emerging game markets. GDC Play allows exhibitors to display their games to key distributors, publishers, press and investors visiting the conference. GDC Play Pavilions for social & online, smartphone & tablet, and independent games will all be located within a dedicated room and include a networking lounge with seating areas for more in-depth meetings.
When signing up for GDC Play, which is open to a range of emerging developers showcasing playable games, game creators will be given a standalone kiosk with a monitor, keyboard, speakers and Internet connection, as applicable. This makes it an incredibly simple, low-cost opportunity to exhibit titles to prospective business partners, investors and the press.
With this year's return comes the introduction of Best in Play, a showcase of GDC Play's finest games. For this new 'Best in Play' award program, all GDC Play exhibitors will be judged on their in-development or complete games by a panel of veteran GDC organizers and Gamasutra editors. Eight participating games will be selected and announced as 'Best in Play' winners prior to GDC. Winners will be announced mid-February and they will receive two All-Access passes to GDC 2014. Special 'Best in Play' designations will be attached to the honorees' GDC Play kiosks at GDC 2013, where their games will be playable to all GDC attendees.
GDC Play participants have access to the official GDC Business Matchmaking software—the catalyst for business at GDC. Request and receive meetings from major publishers, All Access Pass holders and exhibitors attending the event.

KCLS-SPL Reciprocal Use Borrowing Agreement
When the modified reciprocal use agreement with the Seattle Public Library (SPL) went into effect on October, 1 2006, it was agreed that KCLS and SPL would re-measure cross-use in 2007 and evaluate the impact of the policy change by which patrons who live within the Seattle city limits could no longer place "holds" on KCLS materials.In early 2008, staff from KCLS and SPL met to look at usage data gathered during 2007. The data showed that:
- In 2005, SPL usage of KCLS was about 80,000 transactions per month. In 2007, that figure dropped to the 30,000-35,000 transactions per month.
- In 2005, KCLS usage of SPL was about 25,000 transactions per month. It has since increased to about 30,000-35,000 transactions per month.
These changes in usage are attributed to both the holds restriction and SPL's increased investment in collections.
Since library usage has equalized, staff from both library systems proposed continuing the reciprocal use agreement as it currently exists (with SPL patrons restricted from placing holds) with plans to review cross-use every two years. The KCLS Board of Trustees approved this recommendation at their March 25, 2008 meeting.
Letter to SPL Patrons from KCLS
Fact Sheet for Seattle Residents
Effective October 1, 2006 a modified Reciprocal Use Borrowing Agreement between the King County Library System (KCLS) and The Seattle Public Library (SPL) will be in place. City of Seattle residents will retain full access to KCLS libraries and online resources, including the ability to checkout KCLS materials; however, under the new agreement, they will not be able to place "holds" on KCLS materials.
What is the KCLS-SPL Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement?
For many years, the King County Library System (KCLS) and Seattle Public Library (SPL) have operated under a Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement allowing residents served by each system to cross-use the other library system's resources at no charge to the user. That agreement has worked well, providing seamless service to meet the needs of patrons who live in one system's area but work in the other, or need resources the other system offers. Part of the agreement has been to conduct regular cross-use studies to determine usage by each library system's residents. When there is an imbalance, one system reimburses the other to make up the difference.
Are KCLS and SPL two separate library systems?
Yes. Most people are unaware that SPL and KCLS are two separate systems, each with a totally different funding source. SPL is a department of the City of Seattle and is supported by City revenues. Although people living in Seattle are residents of King County, they do not pay taxes to KCLS. The opposite is also true. The funds that support KCLS come from King County taxpayers living outside the Seattle City limits and are not used to pay for SPL.
What has been the history of cross-use and reimbursement?
Since 1999, Seattle residents have consumed more KCLS services than King County residents have of SPL. The Seattle Public Library has paid KCLS $104,000 each year for the past six years to partially offset the imbalance.
Why the modification now?
In 2005, a new study was jointly conducted to determine the status of the imbalance. It showed that 6.1% of KCLS' services go to Seattle residents with an imbalance valued at
$1 million. SPL would have to pay KCLS $1 million annually to cover the use of KCLS by Seattle residents.
While KCLS believes the best service allows library users to have free access to all library systems regardless of territorial boundaries, wise stewardship of King County taxes requires that KCLS not provide unreimbursed library services to Seattle residents.
Has SPL committed to reimbursing KCLS for the imbalance or explored other options?
SPL has determined it cannot pay the $1 million imbalance without doing harm to SPL's own operations and services. Since the results of the study were released in late 2005, both library systems have explored numerous options to re-balance the cross-use costs, but have been unable to find a solution that made fiscal and operational sense for both systems.
Restricting Seattle residents from placing holds at KCLS is an activity that contributes significantly to the cross-use imbalance.
Did KCLS considered selling library cards to SPL patrons?
Many years ago KCLS sold individual library cards to residents of non-participating cities, but that option was stopped in 1988 because residents in unincorporated areas and participating communities felt the practice was unfair to those whose tax support made KCLS resources possible. The selling of cards is also counter to KCLS' mission of providing free and open access to library services for all, regardless of one's ability to pay. In addition, input from local KCLS Friend's groups and Advisory Boards indicated strong opposition to this option.
Why don't the two library systems merge?
State Law prohibits the King County Library System and the Seattle Public Library from merging due to the population size of the City of Seattle. RCW 27.12.360 enables "any city or town with a population of one hundred thousand or less at the time of annexation [to] become a part of any rural county library district…" The current population of the City of Seattle is more than 500,000.
Other Specific Questions You May Have:
What happens to holds placed prior to October 1?
All holds placed prior to October 1 will be filled.
What will I see when I try to place a hold in the KCLS catalog after October 1?
Hold was not successfully placed
Problem: Hold rules reject this item as unholdable
Can I call a KCLS library and ask if an item is on the shelf?
Staff will check for you to see if the item is at the library, but staff will not be able to put the item on hold for you and there is no guarantee the item will be on the shelf when you arrive.
May I call a KCLS library and ask that an item be held for me behind the desk?
No, items will no longer be held behind the desk with handwritten slips.
Does this impact my access to Inter-Library Loan (ILL) and the ability to suggest new titles?
You will no longer have access to ILL through KCLS. Requests for ILL should be submitted to SPL.
Will I still be able to suggest titles to KCLS?
You may still suggest titles, but will not be able to place a hold if the title is selected. You can however do this through SPL.
Will I still be able to use eBooks?
Seattle patrons are eligible to make use of KCLS downloadable Audiobooks available through OneClickDigital. Seattle patrons are not eligible to make use of KCLS eBooks and downloadable Audiobooks available through OverDrive and Axis 360 - both services include a holds component.
If I own property in King County (outside Seattle City limits), can I retain full privileges?
Yes. If a SPL patron lives in the City of Seattle, but can show proof of owning property within KCLS' service area, they will retain full privileges.
What can I do if I disagree with the tax coding of my property?
For patrons that live on the border between the City of Seattle and unincorporated King County and disagree with the coding of their property, they should contact the King County Department of Assessments.

Well, when Harrison said we were going " Dancing Under the Stars", I didn't know it included the horses….
On September 5th, the Therapeutic Riding Organization of Tryon, better known as TROT, hosted their annual fundraiser at FENCE-Foothills Equestrian and Nature Center. Seven different horse exhibitions; therapeutic riders, miniatures to harness, a trick rider, barrel racer, western & dressage duet, American Saddlebreds and a Revolutionary War Reenactment Group, entertained the $100 plate supporters. Each group's presentation was narrated and choreographed to music. We were asked to exhibit the American Saddlebred.
Tryon NC is horse country, but not very familiar with Saddlebreds. We were excited about being able to represent our breed in this format. We took CALLAWAY'S PAISANO, a 3 gaited black gelding, owned by Joan Sonnabend, of Mooresboro, NC and TOBIE MCGUIRE-a 5 Gaited chestnut gelding owned by Anna D. Kirk from Wake Forest, NC. Callaway's Paisano was presented by Harrison Shiflet first. It was an elegant silhouette against the sunset, as they showed the power and grace of the Walk-Trot horse. Then Tobie McGuire and Grant Shiflet demonstrated 5 gaits with precision and speed.
As we waited our turn, our Saddlebreds stood beautifully and watched the array of activities whirling around them…(Its not everyday you see groups of horses charging each other with riders yelling and sabers clashing in the air, then again…is that a group lesson?) The announcer begins, the music starts and we are in the arena. The horses were great as Harrison and Grant sent them through their paces as the announcer encouraged the crowd to show their appreciation. The ring work consisted of Straight lines, Diagonal lines and circles, the different gaits and transitions, all to music… then we stopped, stripped the horses and stood them up for approval to each side of ring. We left, trotting them out in hand to a very appreciative and vocal crowd. Just like the shows, we are out, the next "class" is in the ring and we walk back to the barn.
Then people started coming by…."Nice job, I'm impressed ",…. "Thank you for coming, its been years since I have seen a saddlebred",… " It's so nice to be able to show our enthusiasm"….."They are so beautiful and well mannered"….."I had forgotten how much fun these horses are"… "I showed Saddlebreds"…wonderful comments from Dressage to Therapy riders, and many thank you notes came in the mail.
Did this event take time and effort….Yes. Was it worth it……YOU BET!
Do more, be part of the word and talk about the Saddlebred. Beauty, courage, greatness…no wonder they call it the American Saddlebred.
Congratulations to Yes By Golly the winner of this year's UPHA 3 yr old Park Pleasure Class at the NC State Championship Horse show and The UPHA Class at The Roanoke Valley Horse Show, is first colt bred, raised and trained at our farm by our stallion, The Sultan's Secret.

Ah yes, finally I've acquired a single bottle of Stella Artois to review here on BeerAdvocate. Expectations are fairly low, but I know what I'm getting myself into. Poured into a miniature Victorian carriage pint glass that I acquired from the local Goodwill. A - Pours a clear lagered golden straw color with one finger of bone white froth and just a few tiny flakes of sediment in the glass. Some thin stringy lacing. Not half bad looking, for what it is. S - Smell remains pretty neutral: dark grains, dirty earthiness, wheat, corn & husk, wet paperboard, some must, and some mineral water. T - Taste follows the nose: clean, crisp pilsner malt, soggy grains, wheat, corn husk, & some mineral water. Light and refreshing. M - Feel is thin and watery, smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing. Some soggy corn / grains lingering on the palate. Light-bodied, with moderately high carbonation. Slightly bloating, but otherwise an easy drinker. Overall, it goes down smooth after a long day, and for being what it is, it is a nice light lager. Certainly light-years ahead of the swill that is Bud Light and Miller Lite, but that might not be saying much. Definitely recommended for what it is, and I would choose it over plenty of these cheap adjunct lagers brewed in America any day. Stella Artois ---3/5.

Designer Dress Rental Company To Feature Plus Size Dresses From Top Designers
NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rent the Runway (www.renttherunway.com), the leading destination for designer dress and accessory rentals, announced today the introduction of plus size designer dresses to its inventory. The launch of RTR Plus, an assortment of over forty styles from five top designers available in sizes 14 to 22, is a continuation of Rent the Runway's overall brand mission to democratize luxury fashion for all women and to give every woman the self confidence that comes with looking and feeling your best. The company's addition of plus sizes is a direct result of their users requesting designer apparel in larger sizes.
Rent the Runway's introduction of plus size designer dresses comes just short of a year after the launch of its last groundbreaking feature, the one-of-a-kind social shopping platform Our Runway, which features user-generated photos of real women in dresses available for rent. Our Runway demonstrates the company's belief that all women – regardless of size, age or ethnicity – are beautiful, by prominently displaying these photos of real women on its site as models. Since the launch of Our Runway, over 100,000 reviews have been written by Rent the Runway customers from all over the United States. Rent the Runway now adds another layer of accessibility by bringing high end designers and the latest fashion trends to plus size women for a fraction of the retail cost.
"When we launched Rent the Runway, we didn't fully understand that our business was going to be about so much more than saving money, but rather, feeling empowered. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful before the most important occasions in her life and every woman regardless of her size should have her choice of the designer dress that gives her the most self-confidence," said Jennifer Hyman, CEO and Co-Founder of Rent the Runway. "Until now, we have only been able to follow through on this undertaking for virtually half of the female population. We are so proud that our business has grown enough that we are finally able to make designer fashion not only accessible to, but also inclusive of, women of all shapes and sizes."
Designers Badgley Mischka, Carmen Marc Valvo and Theia, among others, created dresses exclusively for Rent the Runway, offering extended sizes of dresses already available for rent in addition to entirely new styles designed with the full-figured woman in mind. Existing plus size styles from Kay Unger and Adrianna Papell will also be available for rent on the designer dress rental site. Prices range from $50 to $200 and the assortment offers everything from classic little black dresses to sequin and lace to evening gowns.
Rent the Runway has transformed the retail industry by making designer dress and accessory rentals a convenient and accessible luxury experience for millions of women. With door-to-door delivery, a free second-size, and access to personal stylists, Rent the Runway is a service that enables women to look and feel their most confident for any occasion. At 90% off retail, Rent the Runway provides the Cinderella experience for women everywhere.

On October 26, 2011, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) announced the publication of the first technical capability standard (TCS) titled "Technical Capability Standard for Handheld Instruments Used for the Detection and Identification of Radionuclides". TCSs are threat-informed, government-unique standards that provide detection capability goals for certain nuclear detection and non-intrusive imaging systems. The TCS is the first government unique standard published within DHS.
- Technical Capability Standard for Handheld Instruments Used for the Detection and Identification of Radionuclides, (PDF, 33 pages - 336 KB)
The SAFE Port Act of 2006 directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through DNDO and in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to publish TCSs for non-intrusive imaging and radiation detection equipment in the United States, taking into account relevant standards utilized by other Federal departments and agencies.
DNDO worked with NIST to establish a working group comprised of U.S. Federal agencies and national laboratories to develop the TCS for handheld instruments. Membership includes representatives from DNDO, NIST, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas' Security Affairs, Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and several DOE national laboratories.
The Graduated Rad/Nuc Evaluation and Reporting (GRaDERSM) Program will incorporate TCS requirements as part of compliance testing. In addition to the TCS for handheld instruments, the working group is developing additional TCS to address backpack based radiation detection systems and vehicle mounted radiation detection systems.

This is probably the most important election in my life time, and a big joke to others. We need a better congress.
If we keep voting the same way that we have been, the world will not change. If we keep voting the same type of people in office, the world will get worse. As long as I can remember, the same people or the same type of people keep getting voted in to office, and now look at us. The way things are going, the US is headed for destruction. We can't take four more years of the same thing.
And we wonder what is wrong with the world.

Ash Creek Sewer Project
For several years, Environmental Services has worked to stop sewer overflows to South Ash Creek during wet weather. In 2006, the city installed a temporary bypass pipe on the surface near the creek to prevent overflows.
The city is currently working on a project to repair portions of the Ash Creek sewer, remove the temporary pipe and install a permanent sewer line to improve sewer system reliability and stop wet weather overflows to South Ash Creek (see map).
Project Updates
- Construction is ongoing.
- Much of the work on private property in the project area has been completed.
- The CIPP lining process has been completed.
- Crews are working to repair several manholes and prepare to remove the bypass pipe.
- The re-vegetation team will begin working on site in the next several weeks as well as in early 2014 (see map).
Construction Schedule
Construction is tentatively scheduled to be complete by the end of November. Re-vegetation will be ongoing into early 2014.
Project Overview: Construction Methods
The city's contractor will use a trenchless repair method called cured-in-place pipe-lining (CIPP) for much of the work. The CIPP process doesn't require digging a trench and minimizes construction impacts. Work crews use manholes or other access points to insert a flexible liner inside the old pipe. Hot water or steam pumped into the sewer flattens the lining against the inside of the old pipe. The liner gradually hardens to form a rigid, smooth surface. Construction crews will access the pipe via several temporary construction easements along the project alignment.
You are likely to smell a chemical odor during the CIPP lining work. The odor is from a chemical called styrene in the resin liner installed inside the pipe. The odor dissipates quickly once installation is complete. The amount of airborne styrene the repair process produces is not a human health risk.
There will also be about 350 feet of open trench excavation at the west end of the project area to install new pipe that is farther away from the creek. The open trench construction will be on land owned by the City of Portland.
Environmental Services will take care to project private property, water quality and trees and vegetation throughout the project area. When the project is complete, we will replant the city-owned site.
What to expect during Construction
- Construction will create noise, vibration and dust and may disrupt normal neighborhood activity.
- Work hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The contractor may schedule work during the same hours on Saturdays.
- Traffic control will be in place, and you may be delayed traveling into, out of, or through the work area.
- On-street parking in or near the work area may be prohibited during work hours.
- Equipment and materials may be secured and stored on nearby streets overnight.
- You will have sewer service at all times, even when work is near your home.
- There may be periods of inactivity between construction phases.
- A city construction inspector will be on-site during work hours, and may be able to assist you with construction concerns. Inspectors typically wear a safety vest and hard hat.
Post-Construction Re-vegetation
The Portland Watershed Management Plan identifies re-vegetation as a key strategy for protecting and improving watershed health. Environmental Services will remove invasive plant species and restore native trees, shrubs and ground cover in the city-owned area that will be disturbed by the sewer construction. Re-vegetation will include follow-up maintenance and ongoing invasive plant control using manual, mechanical and chemical methods.
The old Tualatin Hills Sanitary Sewer District built the Ash Creek sewer in the 1950s. The eight-inch diameter concrete pipe collects sewage from areas north and south of the creek, and from an area south of Interstate 5. It flows east to west and joins the Clean Water Services collection and treatment system west of the city line.
Although it is a sanitary-only sewer, a considerable amount of stormwater enters the pipe through joints and cracks. Because of that, the sewer is too small to handle wet weather flows.

In 2011, Earth Group donations helped WFP provide nearly 200,000 meals to children in school.
It is The Earth Group's mandate to give 100% of our net profits from the sale of our water, coffee & tea products, to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to support their global fight against hunger through school meal programmes.
'Earth Group's support could not have come at a better time for children in Kenya. We are currently reaching 680,500 children with a daily school meal and all the support counts to make a difference in the lives of school children affected by the worst drought in 60 years. Thank you Earth Group for making a difference!' Rose Ogola, Public Information Officer, WFP Kenya.
At 13 years old Moses is making big plans. He's a keen student and dreams of becoming a pilot when he grows up. But Moses' dream of a bright future is very much reliant on what happens in his present. Together with his sister, mum and dad, Moses' family relies almost entirely on their livestock as a source of food and income. Unfortunately, after the drought, there isn't always enough to feed everyone.
This is where WFP is helping. Moses' local school participates in the WFP school meals programme, guaranteeing Moses at least one meal each day provided he attends school. Moses says, "I enjoy all my lessons but if I didn't have something to eat at lunchtime I would find it difficult to follow the teacher. Food helps me to concentrate on what they are teaching me."

URGENT - Holder-Drones-Paul
Published 12:41 PM CST Mar 07, 2013
(CNN) -- Attorney General Eric Holder says the president does not have the authority to use a drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on U.S. soil, White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Thursday. Sen. Rand Paul, who filibustered Wednesday against the nomination of John Brennan to be the next CIA director until he received an answer on the issue, raised the question.

By Michael Futch Staff writer
A chance encounter on a business trip to Sanford led Seth Chambers to a face-to-face encounter with Mario McNeill and Shaniya Davis, the 5-year-old girl McNeill is accused of raping and murdering in November 2009.
Their paths crossed a mere two seconds or so, but Chambers, a general contractor from the town of Clyde, would be one of the last people to see the child alive.
Chambers testified Thursday afternoon in the McNeill capital murder trial in Cumberland County Superior Court. Most of the proceedings consisted of the jury watching surveillance video and still photography taken from the Sleepy Hollow Mobile Home Park off Murchison Road and the Comfort Suites hotel on Bragg Street in Sanford.
After leaving the hotel with the child, McNeill allegedly left a clear packet with white residue in Room 201 - the room that he appears to have shared with Shaniya. That's according to a front desk clerk who was working at the hotel Nov. 10, 2009, the day Shaniya went missing. Regina Marie Bacani told jurors that she thought the packet that she got from a housekeeper had contained cocaine or crack cocaine.
McNeill's defense admits their client picked up Shaniya from her aunt's trailer where she was living at 1116A Sleepy Hollow Drive in Fayetteville and transported her to the Comfort Suites in the early hours of Nov. 10. But his lawyers maintain that he did not harm or kill the child.
McNeill, 32, is on trial for first-degree murder, first-degree rape and five other charges. If found guilty of first-degree murder, he could be sentenced to death.
Chambers works for American South General Contractors, which maintains offices in Asheville and Sanford.
On Nov. 9, 2009, he and his boss booked a room for the night at the Comfort Suites in Sanford because their company was bidding for work on two schools.
The men rose early, about 5:30 to 6 a.m., to get an early start.
Chambers testified that after eating a continental breakfast provided by the hotel, he realized he had forgotten his checkout receipt. He returned to his room on the second floor.
The time, he estimated, was about 6:30.
He saw a man with a child. He figured the child to be about 5 to 7 years old.
"I went back to get that (receipt) and saw a man and child in the hallway," he said. "They were walking down the hallway near the elevator."
Chambers recalled making eye contact with McNeill and the child.
McNeill nodded his head.
"The child did look my way," he said under questioning. "The child did not wave but gave a flip of the hand. I think the only reason I remember them is because of the way the child was held. Real high, not low, like you normally would hold a child."
The child, he told defense lawyer Terry Alford, was not being held in an affectionate manner. Because she was wrapped in a blanket, Chambers said, he only saw part of her head.
Authorities say McNeill assaulted Shaniya in the hotel before killing her and dumping her body along N.C. 87 in Harnett County.
Shaniya's mother, Antoniette Nicole Davis, 28, is accused of giving her daughter to McNeill to settle a drug debt before reporting her missing on Nov. 10.
Six days later, investigators found the child's body under a log and thick patch of kudzu in an area where deer are dressed and their carcasses are discarded, according to previous testimony.
On Thursday, jurors heard testimony from three current or previous employees of Comfort Suites.
Jacqueline Lee, who worked as a night auditor at the establishment in November 2009, said McNeill checked into the hotel at 6:11 a.m. Nov. 10 and was given Room 201. He was alone, she said, when he conducted his business at the front desk.
But not long after, Lee said, she saw him carrying a child in a blue blanket in "real time" on one of the hotel's 29 surveillance cameras once he had entered through a back entrance by the pool. She never saw the child's face but described the texture of the child's hair as being like African-American.
"He said he had his daughter with him," she said. "He said he wanted to rest because he was going to take his daughter to see her mother."
He gave his name as Mario McNeill and his address as 2613 Pine Springs Drive, Fayetteville, said Lee, adding that he paid for his room in cash.
State's evidence presented in the case Thursday included hotel video and photographs culled from the video of McNeill holding a child at various places on the property.
During his short stay, he came downstairs for breakfast and got a banana, muffin and juice, according to testimony from Lee and Bacani, the other front desk clerk.
From one hotel surveillance camera, which could be seen at the front desk, Lee remembered seeing where "he paused and stopped and looked at the cameras." She said she did not see him again after that.
At 7 on the morning of Nov. 10, Lee changed shifts at the front desk with Bacani. Thirty-eight minutes later, McNeill wanted to check out.
"He came down and said he was going to be leaving," she said. "He told me he had to get on the road. He had to drive on the road to take his daughter to his mother."
A day later, she became suspicious after finding out from Bacani that McNeill had checked out early - approximately 90 minutes after registering for the room. When she learned about an Amber Alert for Shaniya, Lee contacted investigators.
"I think she was here," she told Bacani.
Rita Cox, an assistant district attorney, questioned Comfort Suites general manager Angela Thompson about the hotel surveillance video, which wasn't shown to onlookers in the courtroom.
"Is that Mr. McNeill leaving the room?" Cox asked.
"Yes," Thompson said.
"Is he alone?" Cox asked.
"No," Thompson said.
"Who is that with him?" Cox asked.
"Shaniya Davis," Thompson answered.
Earlier in the day, jurors heard about items a forensic technician found in the defendant's alleged vehicle, including children's clothing.
Kenneth Winschel Jr., a forensic technician with the Fayetteville Police Department who worked on the case, reviewed photographs of evidence he gathered from a black vehicle believed to be McNeill's.
Some of the photos showed children's clothing visible through the rear passenger door.
Those items included a parka-type hooded jacket, a belt and denim jeans.
Under questioning from defense lawyer Alford, Winschel said he was not aware that McNeill had an 18-month-old daughter at the time.
"You are not saying those are Shaniya Davis' clothes, are you?'' Alford asked.
"No sir, I'm not qualified to say that,'' Winschel said.
When further pressed by Alford, Winschel said he could not say the clothes were related to the case.
Jurors were shown surveillance video from the Sleepy Hollow Mobile Home Park showing a black vehicle entering the area early Nov. 10, 2009, and leaving a few hours later.
Barbara Davenport, the former property manager of the mobile home park and a retired Cumberland County Sheriff's Office employee, said the footage included a black vehicle entering the park at 2:20 a.m.
Davenport said the video shows a figure going to a trailer in the approximate location of 1119 Sleepy Holly Drive at 2:58 a.m.
That was the home of Tasia McClain, who testified Wednesday that she had invited McNeill over for drinks and to play cards that night. McClain said she fell asleep and never saw him.
The mobile home park footage later shows someone walking from the trailer to the car. The vehicle left the mobile home park at 5:27 a.m., according to testimony.
Testimony is scheduled to resume at 9:30 a.m. this morning.
