Hi guys!
My old PC has a BIOS prob in that it does not remember new settings but loads factory settings.
This did not worry me but I have a young lad - a neighbour's son who would love it if only I can make it work in a consistent way.
I have downloaded the new BIOS but I have no idea what to do next.
The teenager would have no probs with linux - I am sure he would welcome the challenge.
Can you help me to get a new young recruit please.

Paralympian Kelly Cartwright shared her story of turning adversity into triumph as part of an Awakenings Festival lunch in Horsham on Friday.
'A Touch of Awakenings' was designed to fundraise for next year's Awakenings Festival.
The annual festival celebrating people with a disability did not run this year because of a lack of funding from federal and state governments, philanthropic trusts and the corporate sector.
Cartwright, a multiple world record holder in athletics, was guest speaker at the lunch at Horizons in Horsham. She was diagnosed with a rare cancer at 15 and had to have her right leg amputated.
Cartwright, now 23, won gold in the long jump at this year's London Paralympic Games and silver in the 100-metre sprint.
She spoke about her ups and downs during the past year and achieving her dream of competing in London.
She told the crowd the experience was far different from the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games.
"I was ranked in the top two for both events so I had a lot of pressure on me this time," she said.
Cartwright said her next aim was to compete at the 2016 Games in Rio.
She entertained the crowd with stories about her training schedule, the challenges she had faced and also how she had to recharge her prosthetic leg every five days.
She has two prosthetic limbs one for walking and the other for competition.
Cartwright said it was fantastic to have members of Yarri Actors and Horsham Primary School 298 campus's Signing Choir listening to her speech.
"It was amazing to see them listening in awe," she said. "One of the girls started crying because she said she had wanted to meet me so badly. It meant a lot to me."
Cartwright said it was important to her to give hope to others facing adversity.
"When you have something like this happen to you, it's not the end of the world," she said. "You have to let it not overcome you and pick yourself up and keep going."

I have been a strong advocate over the years of using Story Points to track team velocity. In spite of many of the self-inflicted problems teams face when using Story Points (e.g., trying to initially assign some measure of time to a Story Point, or trying to normalize Story Points across teams, or confusing Story Points and task-hours, etc.), when used correctly, Story Points (and the velocity calculations they enable) make project tracking and projection incredibly easy and relatively accurate as well. (As a side note, check out the following article by Jeff Sutherland: link.)
What I'd like to cover in this posting is that using Story Points is not the only way to track a team's velocity. For teams that have been writing User Stories for a while, and who have gotten good at breaking their work down into small enough chunks such that one or more stories can be completed ("Done!") in an iteration, I would like to recommend that they forego the effort of sizing User Stories with Story Points. They've already shown that they know how to start with an Epic, and break an Epic down into User Stories that can be completed in an iteration. Thus, they've demonstrated that they have a relative amount of uniformity in the way that they come up with their backlog of User Stories – their stories are all in the same range regarding the amount of time and effort required to complete each one of them.
With that in mind, such teams could simply measure velocity based on completed User Stories – the principle is the same as Story Points, but mature teams can fore-go the effort required to size each User Story with Story Points (e.g., through Planning Poker).
Let me give a couple of examples – the first one using Story Points. Team A has 50 Story Point's worth of User Stories on its backlog, and they've demonstrated over the course of time that they can generally complete about 10 Story Point's worth of stories in an iteration (velocity = 10). In order to determine how long it will take to complete the remaining stories, it's easy to divide 50 by 10 and come up with an estimate of around 5 iterations. If a customer is asking how long before the team can get to a feature that the customer is interested in, and the User Story associated with that feature appears about 30 points down the rank-ordered backlog of stories, then the team can tell the customer that it will be about 3 iterations (30 divided by 10).
The second example is that Team B has 10 stories on its backlog and they've demonstrated that they typically complete about 2 User Stories every iteration (velocity = 2). To determine how long it will take to complete the remaining stories, divide 10 by 2 and come up with an estimate of 5 iterations. If a customer is asking how long before the team can get to a feature that the customer is interested in, and the User Story associated with that feature appears about 6 stories down the rank-ordered backlog of stories, then the team can tell the customer that it will be about 3 iterations (6 divided by 2).
If you're part of a fairly experienced team, and if your team already has an established velocity, consider trying this approach in lieu of assigning Story Points – it can help save some time by not going through the sizing exercises. However, if your team is fairly new to writing and sizing User Stories, or if your team doesn't yet have an established velocity, I would recommend sticking with Story Points for now because the process of assigning Story Points (during a Planning Poker exercise, for example) is *very* helpful in aligning a team's thinking, as well as building team synergy, as the team goes through the process of having the discussions that naturally arise when sizing stories.
As always, please feel free to comment, provide suggestions and recommendations, or even tell us about your experiences using Story Points and/or other ways of tracking velocity. Thanks!

Perry, FL - An internet cafe in Perry, Florida is now re-opening after city leaders refused to renew her business license.
Debbie Taylor, the manager of the diamond dust internet cafe, says they re-opened today with a new license, thanks to the help of an attorney.
Perry, FL - There are many questions that surround internet cafés. Like what are they? Are they gambling establishments?
That's the issue affecting Debbie Taylor.
"They don't want internet cafés here within the city," Taylor said.
She manages Diamond Dust in Perry. Her license to run her internet café wasn't renewed by the city.
They posted a cease and desist letter on her window explaining why they had to stop business.
"They are trying to impose things in their letter, not in the ordinance, that aren't there," Taylor said.
For internet cafés, the city has its own ordinance to regulate them:
- The video machines used must prove to be non-slot machines.
- They must get that approval from independent labs.
- Vendors must send test results directly to the city to be recognized as valid.
"We have not received a valid certification from a business that certifies these machines," said Captain Jamie Cruse with the Perry Police Department.
City leaders said Diamond Dust and the other internet café in town, Cool Breeze, were notified in July that they were not in compliance and that their machines have not passed the test of being non-slot machines.
"This is something they agreed upon in the beginning, this was not forced upon them," Cruse said.
Taylor went back to the city Tuesday and was told once again she cannot have her business license until certain requirements are met.

War on the people without papers
Perhaps file this under "Be careful what you wish for."
Folks who get driven to red-faced fury by the presence among us—in slaughterhouses, restaurants, in lawn care, and domestic servitude—of migrants without legal papers may be able to find the silver-lining among all the economic bad news trooping across cable news tickers. Seems that for the first time in a decade the number of legal immigrants into the United States has outstripped the number of people crossing over illegally.
The Pew Hispanic Center reports [1] that "inflows of unauthorized
immigrants averaged 800,000 a year from 2000 to 2004, but fell to
500,000 a year from 2005 to 2008 with a decreasing year-to-year trend."
By contrast, the inflow of legal permanent residents has been
relatively steady this decade at around 600,000 to 700,000 a year. Pew can't offer a hard estimate, but they believe the number of undocumented immigrants living in America may have actually declined last year, from 12.4 million in 2007 to 11.9 million.
The New York Times reports [2]: "The loss of low-wage jobs in the American economy, combined with intensified enforcement at the border and at workplaces across the country, had caused those who might be considering an illegal border crossing to think twice before risking what has become an increasingly dangerous journey."
The "intensified enforcement" mentioned above has attracted the attention of the U.S. Catholic bishops, who recently implored the Bush Administration [3] to put a freeze on anymore ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) workplace raids. The USCCB argues that such round-ups have proved devastating to families of undocumented workers and serve little purpose but to terrorize this community and push it further into America's underground.
It appears that in the aftermath of the collapse of debate on comprehensive immigration reform last year, the only element of that proposed reform that persists, zombie-like, is the enforcement angle that had been used to try to sell comprehensive reform to conservatives. Last year ICE made 5,000 workplace raids, 10 times the 2005 number, rounding up undocmented workers but essentially leaving the people who employ them untouched. Children, some among them bonafide U.S. citizens, have been abruptly separated from arrested and/or deported parents with the predictable familial chaos
and mayhem ensuing.
Gabino Zavala, auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles, called the children left behind after ICE raids the "collateral damage in the war for who can be 'toughest' on the
immigration issue."
The bishops can keep resorting to all that high falutin' talk about human dignity and family values, but how far is that likely to get them in the land of pulling yourself up by your personally responsible bootstraps? Now when folks have trouble finding someone to mow the backyard on the cheap . . .
Let it not be said that I won't give the Jesuits their due: Here's America's take on this subject. [4]

He's the only man in Henderson County who played for both organizations in tonight's Super Bowl XLVII, and if you ask him who he's got in the big game, he'll give you a simple answer — both of them.
He's the only man in Henderson County who played for both organizations in tonight's Super Bowl XLVII, and if you ask him who he's got in the big game, he'll give you a simple answer — both of them.
That's how grateful Thane Gash, 47, is to have played in the National Football League.
In 1982, Hendersonville High's Gash was one of the most dominant defensive backs in the country. The 1983 HHS graduate went on to play at East Tennessee State, where he graduated in 1988, and from that day on, his life changed forever.
In the 1988 NFL draft, he was picked in the seventh round by the Cleveland Browns. He played there four years before being dealt to San Francisco, where he played the last two years of his career from 1992-93.
"I can't tell you what a pleasure it has been to be called a football player, from the days I played at Hendersonville High to the days I played at ETSU and then in the National Football League," said Gash, who played in 64 games in his NFL career. In his pro career, he had four interceptions and two sacks, including one against legendary Denver quarterback John Elway in the 1990 AFC Championship game.
Although he played for the Cleveland Browns, the franchise moved to Baltimore in 1996 and changed its name to the Ravens.
"That's how I have connections with both of the teams in this year's Super Bowl," Gash said. "Baltimore is a great organization, and I believe they deserve to win another Super Bowl."
The Ravens' lone Super Bowl victory came in 2001, when his cousin, former Hendersonville High standout Sam Gash, was Baltimore's fullback.
After his four-year stay in Cleveland, Thane Gash joined the San Francisco 49ers in 1992. This came after he suffered a neck injury in his final year with the Browns.
"I had a bone fusion done on my neck, but I was thankful to get to be called a football player again. For the Niners to give a chance to an older man to play football again, I can't tell you what a great pleasure that was. So (tonight), I'm also pulling for the 49ers," he said. "I believe this is also a great organization."
Since he played for both and since both meant so much to him in his life, he said it's impossible for him to choose one over the other.
"I'm unable to choose. They both have great front-office personnel, great players and a long history of great defensive backs, which was the position that I played. For both organizations to let me play at that position for them was a great honor.
"What I would like to see is a good, clean hard-nosed football game played between two excellent organizations. I'd like to see both win, but of course, that can't happen. I just hope for a good, healthy game, and I wish both teams good luck," he said.
Although Sam Gash, now 43, always seemed to get more publicity during his playing days and also now as an assistant coach, Thane Gash said it's nice when he does get recognition for his time on the football field.
"I may be gone, but I'm not forgotten," said Thane Gash, who lives in Hendersonville and works as a grading and landscaping contractor. "I'm thankful to the Henderson County community for supporting me throughout my playing career, and I'm glad that they still know now that there was another Gash in the NFL."

Ugh Gomes...
You've got to play the matchups. Gomes is a 1.000 career hitter against Zambrano.
Yes. Gomes is 1 for 1 against Zambrano. I'd put more weight on that .186 season batting average. Dusty is a fool.
Hernandez is the hottest hitter in the league and gets the day off lol
Cincinnati Reds
Marshall Thundering Herd
Kentucky Wildcats
Indianapolis Colts
Washington Wizards
Non hitting LF and a non fielding SS...yep love the lineup...
I am beginning to agree that Dusty is a fool.
It's even funnier that Gomes is in the lineup based on the fact that Lewis has already proven he deserves more PT than Gomes as well
Apparently Gomes is sans mohawk now, so maybe his luck will change?
I know that some here have an ill-informed opinion of Renteria and Dusty. Fact is, though, that Dusty has done a great job getting people their due time and AB's. They are going to need all 25 to win the division and it does no one a lick of good to ride the pine for days and weeks at a time.
Renteria is in there tonight to spell Janish who is still coming back from that ankle. As for Gomes, he is going to continue to get chances and what better time to do that than when those around him can pick him up since the offense is going good at the moment.
Does anyone know if the game is on Fox Sports Ohio tonight?
I'm getting mixed info...
The Crimson Crusader....knows...!
...heh heh heh heh...
"I offer my opponents a bargain:
...if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them."
"Why does everybody stand up and sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
...when they're already there?"
When Fransisco is finished rehabbing (playing well in Louisville right now) you gotta wonder who goes to make room for him.
At this point you would think it'll be an OF'er and of the ones we can run out there, Gomes is the worst. I think we're hoping he can get out of his slump because even if he plays to his baseball card I think we'll accept that production.
According to the team website the game is on FSOhio.

Champion EMS has officially taken over ambulance service in the City of Van.
The change comes after ETMC announced last month that they would pull out of Van, and four other East Texas cities.
Van City Administrator Yvonne McCauley said the decision to go with Champion comes at a cost to the city.
"We went from not paying, other than the subscriber fee, to having a subsidiary fee of an additional $5,000 a month," McCauley said. "The bottom line is they want $10,000 a month to be our porovider.
After several weeks of numerous City Council meetings, the city agreed to Champion's request.
"We had no other option," McCauley said. "We contacted five other ambulance companies and none were willing to come for one city in a county."
Van residents will now have to pay $10 per month on their city water bills to cover the ambulance fees.
While the cost is much higher than when being served by ETMC, city officials belief it is worth the cost to ensure safety and efficient response time.

Craft's 3-pointer sends Ohio State past Iowa State
DAYTON, Ohio -- Fitting Ohio State would win it with a 3-pointer. The Buckeyes beat Iowa State at its own game Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time in in four consecutive seasons in its storied basketball history. And Aaron Craft was the hero.
Craft's winning 3-pointer with 0.5 of a second left lifted second-seeded Ohio State to a heart-stopping 78-75 victory over 10th-seeded Iowa State in a third-round NCAA Tournament game at University of Dayton Arena.
"I'm very blessed and fortunate to make a shot like that for this university," Craft said. "This moment's bigger than me."
The Buckeyes (28-7) advance to face No. 6 seed Arizona in the West Regional semifinals on Thursday in Los Angeles, where OSU coach Thad Matta will face his former assistant at Xavier, Wildcats coach Sean Miller.
"I think the thing I'm most proud of is that Ohio State is the only team in college basketball that's going to a fourth straight Sweet 16," Matta said. "With this basketball team, that was something that we had talked about coming into the tournament."
Deshaun Thomas led Ohio State with 22 points, Craft added 18 and LaQuinton Ross had 17.
Craft said any of his teammates could have been the hero Sunday.
"LaQuinton was feeling good, or DT (Thomas) could've taken the shot," Craft said. "It just happened to be me. The shot I took before that felt pretty good, so I was confident it would go in."
With the score tied at 75, Craft missed a jumper, but the rebound caromed off an Iowa State player and the Buckeyes retained possession.
"Not corralling that rebound gave them an opportunity to win the game," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said.
Then with 29.9 seconds remaining, Craft dribbled near the top of the key until Iowa State switched defenders and Craft ended up being guarded by Cyclones 6-foot-7 forward Georges Niang.
"I knew I had space," Craft said. "I got a clean look."
The Cyclones' defensive strategy on the final play was to prevent Craft from penetrating the lane and either create a better shot or draw a foul.
"We wanted to keep them out of the paint," Hoiberg said. "We thought Craft was more dangerous getting into the lane."
While perimeter shooting hasn't always been Ohio State's strength, it was Sunday. Iowa State, the nation's top 3-point shooting team, hit 12 3-pointers. But Ohio State went 9 of 18 from beyond the arc, including Craft's winner.
The Cyclones (23-12) rallied from a 13-point deficit late in the second half to take the lead before Craft's heroics rescued Ohio State. Korie Lucious led the Cyclones with 19 points, including five 3-pointers.
"It's tough," Lucious said. "We worked all year to get to this point. I thought we played hard the whole game. We fought back after being down."
Iowa State missed seven of its first nine 3-point attempts, including one by Bubu Palo that struck the side of the backboard. But the Cyclones would heat up later.
Consecutive 3-pointers by Will Clyburn and Niang late in the first half put Iowa State ahead 36-32. Clyburn finished with 17 points.
Iowa State played the second half without starting guard Chris Babb, who left with an apparent left ankle injury with 36.6 seconds left in the first half. Tyrus McGhee started the second half for the Cyclones and played well, finishing with 14 points.
"We have guys on the bench who can make plays," Lucious said. "Tyrus did a great job coming in. We had confidence in him."
Ohio State's small lineups were dominated on the boards in the first half, with Iowa State owning a 24-13 rebounding disparity, including 8-2 on the offensive end.
The Buckeyes, who led 38-36 at halftime, went on an 8-0 run early in the second half to build a six-point lead. But Iowa State kept creating second-chance scoring opportunities off its offensive rebounding, including a dunk by Melvin Ejim that cut Ohio State's lead to 52-51. Ejim finished with 10 points.
Ross scored 10 straight points to put Ohio State ahead 65-53. But the Cyclones didn't relent.
It took 2:11 for Iowa State to erase a 13-point deficit and tie the score 69-69 with 3:53 left. The Cyclones took the lead on McGee's 3-pointer.
"In the huddle, we knew we just needed to get stops, and that's how we changed things," Lucious said of the Cyclones' rally. "We just fell short."
NOTES: Before this season, the Buckeyes had reached the Sweet 16 three consecutive years, a feat last accomplished in 1960-62. ... Iowa State is one of only three schools to have three players with 60 or more made 3-pointers this season, joining Texas Southern and Michigan. ... Sunday's game was a record 100th NCAA Tournament game played at University of Dayton Arena.

prev | next
(a) Development and dissemination of guidelines
Not later than 90 days after November 4, 1988, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (hereafter in this section referred to as the "Secretary"), acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shall develop, issue, and disseminate emergency guidelines to all health workers and public safety workers (including emergency response employees) in the United States concerning—
(1) methods to reduce the risk in the workplace of becoming infected with the etiologic agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome; and
(b) Use in occupational standards
(c) Development and dissemination of model curriculum for emergency response employees
(1) Not later than 90 days after November 4, 1988, the Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shall develop a model curriculum for emergency response employees with respect to the prevention of exposure to the etiologic agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome during the process of responding to emergencies.
(2) In carrying out paragraph (1), the Secretary shall consider the guidelines issued by the Secretary under subsection (a) of this section.
(3) The model curriculum developed under paragraph (1) shall, to the extent practicable, include—
(A) information with respect to the manner in which the etiologic agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome is transmitted; and
(B) information that can assist emergency response employees in distinguishing between conditions in which such employees are at risk with respect to such etiologic agent and conditions in which such employees are not at risk with respect [1] such etiologic agent.
(4) The Secretary shall establish a task force to assist the Secretary in developing the model curriculum required in paragraph (1).

Attorney General Lockyer Announces Approval of Federated-May Merger After Winning Federated's Agreement to Sell More California Stores
Firm Will Divest At Least 26 Macy's and Robinsons-May Outlets in Southern California
(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced his approval of Federated Department Stores, Inc.'s (Federated) $11 billion purchase of May Department Stores Company after securing Federated's agreement to address his anti-competitive concerns by divesting up to six more California stores than originally proposed.
"This merger represents one of the most significant developments to hit the Southern California retail market in the last decade," said Lockyer. "Its potential effect on competition, prices, consumers and communities is substantial. The agreement with Federated aims to help preserve local economic vitality and restrain prices for shoppers by softening the transaction's adverse effects on competition."
Federated, the parent company of Macy's, will divest at least 26 Macy's and Robinsons-May stores in Bakersfield, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Ana and other Southern California communities.
Federated on July 28, 2005 announced it would sell 22 of those stores, and the agreement calls for the divestiture of four additional outlets. They are located at: The Promenade at Topanga in Woodland Hills (Macy's); Town Center in Simi Valley (Macy's); Westminister Mall in Westminister (Macy's); and Fashion Island in Newport Beach (Macy's).
Two additional Southern California Macy's stores also could be divested under the agreement. The facility at the Promenade in Temecula will be added if Federated reaches an agreement with Forest City Enterprises to expand the existing Robinsons-May at that mall. And the Macy's Women's Store at The Oaks in Thousand Oaks will be added if the site is not converted to a Bloomingdale's.
The agreement is in the form of an "Assurance." The Assurance was signed by Lockyer, and the Attorneys General of Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Pennysylvania. It covers divestiture of stores in the signing states.
The agreement calls for Federated, in selling all divested outlets, to give priority to Macy's and Robinsons-May's traditional competitors in the department store market. The agreement defines those competitors to include Dillard's, Gottschalks, Nordstrom, Neiman-Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks Department Store Group, Bon Ton, Elder Beerman, Boscov's, Belks, Proffitts, MacRaes and Von Maur.
The preference will work like this: Federated must accept qualified offers from one of the listed chains, even if Federated receives higher offers from other parties. Additionally, Federated must give similar priority to bids from mall owners or developers that include a binding "commitment or arrangement" to lease or sell the store to a listed chain. The Attorney General of the state in which the store is located must approve such sales to mall owners or developers.
Under another key provision of the Assurance, Federated can sell the divested stores only to buyers who commit to continue operating the outlet as a department store for no less than seven years. Divested stores cannot be bought by one of the listed chains if they already have a store within seven miles of the divested asset, unless the Attorney General of the state in which the store is located waives the restriction.
The Assurance specifies qualified offers will be based on each divested store's "commercially reasonable value." That value will be determined by an independent expert, who will retained by Federated, subject to approval by the Attorneys General.
If Federated does not receive a qualifying offer for any store to be divested, Federated no longer will be bound by the terms of the agreement with respect to that particular outlet. In such cases, Federated cannot subsequently sell the store for less than any bid submitted by one of the listed competitor chains, and must provide any listed chain that made an offer an opportunity to submit a higher bid.
Under the divestiture schedule specified in the Assurance, Federated must collect all bids no later than February 1, 2006, inform the winning bidders no later than March 1, 2006, and complete the sales before September 1, 2006.
A complete list of the California stores to be divested under Assurance is attached.

Completely on the customer, IMO. You have your expensive gadget out on the table? You run the risk that something gets spilled on it. No different than if you are reading at the table at home and your SO or kid knocks over a glass of milk onto it.If I were to have something like that out on the table, I would make darn sure it was out of the way when the server arrived with my food or drink. Just like I don't work on my laptop at home while I'm eating. I'll work over a keyboard - they're pretty cheap to replace - but never over a laptop.

Actor Tim Allen returned to comedy in a surprise set in his native Oakland County Wednesday night.
Allen, the voice of the successful �Pure Michigan� advertising campaign, performed during open mic night at Mark Ridley�s Comedy Castle in Royal Oak.
The show, which cost just $3 for admission, was sold out, according to a Facebook post by the club�s owner and namesake. Ridley said there was a waiting list of more than 200.
�Thank you Tim Allen for making it one of the best nights in Comedy Castle history,� Ridley wrote Thursday morning. �I know many people are waking up this morning and are insanely happy that they were in the audience.�
Ridley went on to describe how the impromptu appearance came to be.
�Tim was up north at his Michigan cottage and he called me and asked if he could show up on Wednesday and rehearse a set he was working on,� the Facebook post read. �He insisted that it must be a surprise appearance.�
Ridley concluded the note by hinting there could be another celebrity guest in the future.
�It will happen again, maybe not with Tim but with someone great that has been on my stage before and wants to feel a Detroit audience and their genuine reactions and hear their laughter,� he wrote.
Mark Ridley�s Comedy Castle is located at 310 S. Troy St. and can be reached at (248) 542-9900. Visit comedycastle.com for more information.

Congratulations to Drs. Rebecca Earhart Michel and Caren Schranz, both recipients of the Fall 2014 Service-Learning Seed Grants which were awarded by the Civic Engagement Steering Committee. The service-learning seed grants are being offered to develop, or substantially revise, service-learning courses. The purpose of these course development grants is to expand the number of courses offered at Governors State University that incorporate service-learning as a teaching pedagogy.
Dr. Michel, Assistant Professor of Counseling, will use the grant for a Lifestyle and Career Development (COUN 7730) course offered within the Division of Psychology and Counseling. During the class, students learn evidence-based career theories, assessments, and interventions to empower clients to create meaningful lifestyles and careers. For the culminating service-learning project, students work in teams to design and deliver career workshops within the local community. In the past, students have presented to adolescents living in residential facilities, adult survivors of domestic violence, ex-offenders, and individuals experiencing homelessness. Students have the opportunity to put theory to practice and teach participants essential skills to support their career development (e.g., interviewing skills, resume writing, networking with social media). This grant will allow us to have the funds to continue making a meaningful contribution within our community.
Dr. Schranz will use the grant for Occupational Therapy students enrolled in Human Development and Performance (OCCT 7750). During the summer 2014 semester, students will be required to complete a service learning project, including an instructional methods assignment to support the children and families in the community. This project will focus on groups of students working with children and families in a local community program. The intent of this project is to support occupational therapy intervention through consultation or educational processes. The impact on the student will be to connect knowledge to 'real life' situations through civic engagement. The children and families of this project will benefit from a consultative or educational intervention design to support the child and family.
Please look for future development and grant opportunities provided by the Civic Engagement Steering Committee. Under the sponsorship of the Office of the Provost, the Civic Engagement Steering Committee meets regularly and includes leadership from the Center for Civic Engagement and Community Service, the Consortium for Civic Engagement, and the Faculty Scholarship and Teaching Center.

So begins the New York Times report, and it's hard not to read this as criticizing Obama, who phrased his support Sebelius in terms of his role "as the father of two daughters."
"And as I understand it, the reason Kathleen made this decision was she could not be confident that a 10-year-old or an 11-year-old going into a drugstore should be able — alongside bubble gum or batteries — be able to buy a medication that potentially, if not used properly, could end up having an adverse effect. And I think most parents would probably feel the same way."...Odd that all the attention is on the child's health. Who is impregnating 10- and 11-year olds? We're talking about serious crimes! One reason very young girls shouldn't be able to purchase this drug on their own is that it prevents criminal behavior from coming to light. The Times quotes James Trussell, director of the Office of Population Research at Princeton University saying "Where is an 11-year-old going to get the $50 to buy this product?" What willful blindness! There is a male in the picture somewhere, a male facing a severe criminal penalty.
The NYT refers to "[s]ome Democrats" offering reasons for "avoiding a divisive debate over teenagers' sexuality." Teenagers' sexuality? When we talk about the Penn State scandal, there's no discussion of the "teenagers' sexuality." What "divisive debate" are these Democrats talking about?

It's no secret that SSDs suffer from performance penalties when it comes to small random writes. Even though more modern SSD try to solve some of these issues hardware-wise, software can also play a major role. Instead of resorting to things like delaying all writes until shutdown and storing them in RAM, SanDisk claims it has a better option. At WinHEC yesterday, the company introduced its Extreme FFS, which it claims will improve write performance on SSDs by a factor of 100.

These days it seems impossible to escape the reality that a provincial election is upon us here in Quebec. The streets are lined with placards and local news updates are constantly informing us about the candidates' latest promises, announcements and follies.
Regardless of where your political loyalties rest, a provincial election is always good for at least one group of people: those seeking temporary employment.
The Directeur Général des Élections du Québec (DGEQ) is the organization that co-ordinates the elections and referendums in the province. The DGEQ is tasked with the mandate of ensuring that each elector is able to exercise their voting rights, while monitoring adherence to the rules presiding over political finance.
Each time a provincial election is called, the DGEQ hires roughly 90,000 people to fill a wide array of jobs in roughly 23 different categories related to the election.
"These temporary employees are crucial," said Denis Dion, DGEQ spokesperson. "Voters are able to cast their ballots because of these workers, we couldn't hold elections without them; they aren't here for a long time but their role is vital in making the election process work."
Christian Gohel, a returning officer in the Westmount-Saint-Louis Riding, has been working with the DGEQ during elections since 1989.
"The task itself is very interesting but the time table is very short and there's always a lot to take care of," Gohel said. "Within our riding we deal with the logistics of the election, so setting up the voting centres, hiring workers, making sure that our electoral list is updated, providing information to the public and receiving and checking applications for candidates."
Complicating matters are the increasingly complex ways in which people are able to vote, he added.
"For example there is a special process for people who live in residences," Gohel said. "The list of methods seems to grow every year so we always have to stay updated."
During the 2008 election the Westmount-Saint-Louis riding hired 800 people. That number is expected to be closer to 500 this year because of strategic changes in how the sta-tions are organized.
"The process is going very smoothly so far this time around," Gohel said. "Everyone has the tools they need to operate and the experience to date has been great."
In addition to the jobs created during an election, the DGEQ has a permanent staff of roughly 230 people. Between elections, these employees are busy with other tangential responsibilities.
"Two years after the government has been elected we start preparing for the next election," Dion said. "We begin to recruit personnel and we find locals in every riding where the returning officers will establish their offices."
There is also a warehouse which holds 250 tons of material that has to be prepared to be shipped to the 125 ridings, he added.
"We don't know the election dates, they aren't fixed as they are in some other provinces," Dion continued. "All of our materials have to be as ready as possible so that the moment an election is called we can start organizing."
Logistics aside, the DGEQ is also responsible for authorizing political parties and candidates to receive donations, take out loans and review election-related expenses. Its experts regularly conduct a review and audit of political parties' and candidates' annual financial statements and expenses.
"It takes about a year after each election to verify that the financial reports and spending were all in line with the law," Dion said. "So once the election is over, the work is nowhere near finished for us."
In addition to functioning at the provincial level, the DGEQ is also involved with local voting processes by providing the tools, training and support required for municipal and school elections.
"For example, there are 1,100 municipalities in Quebec holding general elections next November," Dion said. "So, as most of us are preparing for the September 4 provincial election, some of my colleagues are working at the municipal level instead."
Aside from its mandates in Quebec, the DGEQ also operates on the international level in a supportive capacity. Since 1984 their experts have worked with numerous international organizations and countries worldwide to provide expertise and training to those seeking to uphold the democratic electoral process.

Forget the Jesus Phone, here's the Rude Phone
A grubby little handset
NSFW It costs $78, it is available in black, red or white and it is called the WANK E5.
No, not an personalised number plate, but the name of a Nokia handset on sale at SoloMobi, a Chinese retailer.
Going Solo? That sounds about right.
We guess the name will change soon enough; and before sniggering too hard, we happily acknowledge that SoloMobi or Nokia's English is a helluva lot better than our Chinese. Or Finnish, now we think of it.
Meanwhile, raise your wrists to another hilarious language misunderstanding. And let's fondly recall Mount Wank in Bavaria, the picturesque town of Fucking in Austria. and our favourite football team Deportivo Wanka, of Peru.

A-Rod camp rejects offer MLB made in letter
Waiving confidentiality clause was proposed so both sides could publicly discuss case
By Adam Berry /8/19/2013 4:21 P.M. ET
Alex Rodriguez's pending appeal of his 211-game suspension had a new twist Monday, when one of his lawyers was presented with a letter from Major League Baseball offering to waive a confidentiality clause, an offer that he later rejected.
During an interview on "Today," host Matt Lauer showed attorney Joe Tacopina a letter from MLB offering to waive a clause in the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, which would allow Rodriguez and his lawyers to speak freely in his own defense against the allegations regarding his use of and involvement with performance-enhancing drugs.
Waiving that clause, which Tacopina could have agreed to during the interview by signing the letter, would also give MLB permission to talk publicly about its case against Rodriguez as well as any of his previous violations.
Tacopina turned down the offer later in the day, referring to it as "a trap."
"The letter was a publicity stunt; such a waiver would require [the Players Association] to be party of [sic] the agreement and signatures, nothing but a trap," Tacopina said.
When MLB suspended Rodriguez on Aug. 5, it cited "his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone, over the course of multiple years," as well as "a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation."
Tacopina declined to sign the document while on television, saying he hadn't read it, but added he had been requesting such a thing for "three or four weeks."
"We would love nothing more than to be able to discuss the testing history, the scientific evidence and the tests of Alex Rodriguez regarding this JDA, this joint drug program, nothing more," Tacopina said.
"Here's what I'm prepared to answer. Alex admitted back in 2001 and 2002 that he had used performance-enhacing drugs as a member of the Texas Rangers, when it was not banned. He said since then, he has not. I will tell you this. This letter is nice. I mean, it could have been sent to me last night. I would have been prepared to execute it and we could've talked about the history of things because I have so many things I'd love to say if there was a way."
Rob Manfred, MLB's executive vice president for economics and league affairs, said, "The Players Association has never stood in the way of an individual player publicly disclosing his own drug testing history. We are more than happy to add a signature line for the MLBPA to my letter."
Tacopina insisted that Rodriguez "shouldn't serve one inning of a suspension, as opposed to 211 games." He also took another jab at the Yankees, accusing their medical staff and general manager Brian Cashman of playing Rodriguez during last year's postseason with an injured left hip.
Tacopina questioned the validity of MLB's evidence against the Yankees third baseman, particularly the credibility of Anthony Bosch, the owner of the now-shuttered Biogenesis clinic in South Florida that provided athletes from many sports with performance-enhancing substances.
Tacopina hinted that the case against Rodriguez is not the same as the one levied against the 13 other players suspended after MLB's investigation into Biogenesis.
"It's not the exact same evidence," Tacopina said. "I know the evidence against Alex Rodriguez, and I will tell you this: It will never stand up in a court of law or in an arbitration panel courtroom. Never. Because the evidence is based on one person, Anthony Bosch. Anthony Bosch, who the MLB made a deal with."
While Lauer presented Tacopina with the letter from MLB, A-Rod's attorney gave the show what he said was an MRI of Rodriguez taken on Oct. 11, 2012, before the American League Championship Series between New York and Detroit. Rodriguez went 1-for-9 with three strikeouts and was benched by manager Joe Girardi during that series.
"What [the MRI] indicated, what it showed was Alex Rodriguez had a hole in his left hip, a torn labrum. He went on to play the Detroit series, obviously didn't play well, was benched, was made a scapegoat," Tacopina said. "Nobody told Alex Rodriguez that he had a hole in his left hip. Nobody. It wasn't until after the season was done that he went to a doctor."
Cashman said on Sunday that Rodriguez complained about his right hip -- the one that had been surgically repaired in 2009 -- and that an an MRI was not performed on his left hip last October.
When asked by Lauer why the Yankees would withhold the nature of Rodriguez's injury, Tacopina said he didn't understand the motivation, "unless they wanted to make him a scapegoat."
Rodriguez confirmed early on Monday that his legal team is in the process of filing a grievance against the Yankees for allegedly mishandling his medical treatment. Rodriguez said his lawyers contacted the Major League Baseball Players Association earlier this month to begin the process.
Lauer also questioned Tacopina regarding a report that Rodriguez helped pay Bosch's legal fees. According to an ESPN "Outside the Lines" report published Sunday night, Rodriguez paid a $25,000 retainer to Bosch's attorney, Susy Ribero-Ayala, and later made a wire transfer for nearly $50,000 that Bosch's attorney declined to accept.
One of Rodriguez's former attorneys described that second transfer to ESPN as a mistake and as part of MLB's evidence that Rodriguez tried to obstruct its investigation.
Ribero-Ayala said in a statement to ESPN that Rodriguez paid her $25,000 to defend Bosch in February. The second transfer, according to a statement, was "immediately returned" and "Mr. Rodriquez (sic) does not have any involvement in Mr. Bosch's legal representation."
Why would Rodriguez contribute to the legal defense of someone whose credibility his own lawyers are now attacking?
"There's another question that, because of the confidentiality clause in the JDA, I'm not prepared to answer," Tacopina said. "This is a great letter. I wish I had this letter.
"There was a relationship [between Rodriguez and Bosch], obviously, but these facts will be answered at an appellate process hearing. We are not going to circumvent this process. There is a process in place. We respect the appeal process."

Especially its sharpness and upscaling performance is something I simply don't see in other TVs these days, except, of course, when you plonk down some hard cash. Vizio offers very good quality for its price range, and I must say, I can't wait until these American guys come shake up the European market. I'm holding off on a TV purchase just in case (I want a bigger one than my current 32" Vizio) - I'm too satisfied with Vizio to switch to another brand.
Still, the company wants more than just the low-end of LCD TVs, and has been expanding rather aggressively. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, they announced a 4" smartphone and a 8" tablet, both running Android. These devices of course integrate nicely with Vizio's other hardware, in including things like a remote control for your A/V-equipment.
Vizio TVs, Blu-Ray players, smartphones, and tablets will also come with something called VIA Plus, which is powered by Google Tv, and allows for seamless integration between all your Vizio devices, including pausing something on your TV, only to resume it on your tablet of smartphone later on. Part of VIA Plus will be OnLive's streaming gaming service.
"Just as you can enjoy services such as Netflix and Pandora across virtually all consumer electronic devices, you'll also be able to enjoy OnLive everywhere," the OnLive blog states, "The OnLive game experience is generated in the cloud, so as a device ages, the OnLive experience remains state-of-the-art. This is extremely important for long life-cycle devices like TVs: For example, in 5 years, your OnLive-integrated VIZIO TV will still be compatible with the latest, highest-performance games."
The first reviews of the OnLive micro console were rather positive, noting, obviously, that you do need a decent internet connection. Having technology like this integrated into all your devices - no matter their size - is a major boon for OnLive, and of course, a validation of their concept.
As a gamer myself, I'll probably stick with old-fashioned consoles for now, but it's good to see new technology like this getting an honest chance in the market place. Even if OnLive gets games a few months after 'real' consoles, more casual gamers, or gamers with a tighter wallet, will still benefit greatly from the service. And the more people playing games, the better games we'll get.

I especially like the idea of the Power Stats myself.
It can go two ways by answering who's more powerful, people can get those answers but.....
It does take out mystery.
But still, very cool idea.

really cool illustration by 2-Bad, and clever character concept by FPB! i was thinking maybe it would be cool to see zealousss in a different color armor? to further emphasize her rejection of the cosmic enforcers.
Visit my sketchblog at its new URL: JASONBOT.com!
Well actually I was planning to go with a darker shade of grey for the armor, but then would it really emphasize that she was a former enforcer was the question, so we decided to stick to the red. Glad you all are loving Zealousss.

Whatever happened to this great character? Will be we be seeing any more art with her? Will she perhaps meet up with her old flame again?
Thanks to everyone who popped onto this thread and gave props to Zealousss. I hope to bring you some more creations as soon as I get some $$$ to pay 2-Bad for his wonderful art!
I really enjoyed doing her fpb & I'm glad you guys like her. she's a very unique character thats for sure.

I was thinking about a certain cosmic Enforcer, bloodied and beaten, trapped in coils of crushing muscle. To his left, his cosmic staff, severed in two, and to his right, a pile of lifeless snakes that used to be the leader of the snakemen. Holding his head in the centre of her energy chakra, and about to deliever the killing blow, a victorious Zealousss will not be denied her vengence....
hey fpb decided to answer your call. i really like her. the snakemen are great, and the cosmic enforcers are cool. combining them only made sense. 2-bad's art is some of the best on the boards. i'll check out your other character later.
Thanks! I hope more people drop by with something to say. If she recieves enough attention to warrent some comissions, I just might be looking to get some done!
Love the Bio/backstory. It's always cool when a character has her own agenda rather than being affiliated with a group. I could imagine her maybe teaming up with evil-Lyn to betray Skeletor and King Hiss
I like characters with snake tails instead of legs, so that's awesome, but there's not much else on the design that would fit my personal preference, I guess I like female characters to be feminine and kinda pretty, so the snake arm freaks me out a bit. I'd probably like it on a male character, it's cool how it's part hand, part head, like more of a mutation. I'm not keen on the helmet, it originally made me think of Mekanek or Stratos, both of whom aren't my favourite characters.
He who dies with the most MOTUC wins!
I feel the snake arm blaster give her a unique edge. Where as other characters have technological aids for gun styled weapons, this scaly chick has one built right in.
The helm should have made you think Zodak, heh, since it is styled after the cosmic enforcers.
I feel that the concept is good as far as having a Naga like character. But it looks too complicated for your average MOTU design. Simplfy.
2012 Create a character Runners up Mini-Sub please!!! I needs Bubblor and Major Header.
give her legs and i'm sold ;-)
Check me out: www.patrickireland.net
Love the story, love the character, love the design. Awesome!
Signed by-- ME!
Did I ever grow up? Probably not. I'm sure the day-glo socks gave it away anyway.
Did she originally have no legs before she was transformed into the snakewoman?
Edit: Oh, and its nothing to do with the sex of the character, even if it was a guy character I'd still prefer him to have legs.

This week, the question of whether it is better to leave your money in the Thrift Savings Plan at retirement or transfer it to an Individual Retirement Arrangement came up for me three times: twice I was asked it at my seminars, and then my husband said it came up at lunch with his co-workers. That's a strong indication this is a worthy subject for a column.
But first, a disclaimer: I'm a benefits specialist, not a financial adviser, so my thoughts on this subject are from a benefits point of view.
To begin assessing what to do with the money you've put away in the TSP throughout your career, you first need to determine what you need it to do for you. Do you need immediate monthly income? Do you want to continue to save money for future use? Do you want to leave money behind as an inheritance for your spouse or children?
Most federal employees will have at least three sources of retirement income: a government retirement benefit (through either the Civil Service Retirement System or the Federal Employees Retirement System), Social Security retirement, and retirement savings. The latter category includes TSP funds, other IRAs you may have and possibly other employer savings plans from work you've done prior to or after your federal career. If you have multiple accounts, you made need the help of a financial adviser to determine whether you want to consolidate them at retirement.
Before you can decide what you should do with your TSP, it is important to answer two questions:
- Will your monthly retirement benefits (CSRS or FERS and Social Security) be enough to cover your recurring monthly expenses (including rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance, groceries and health care)?
- Are you fully retiring or are you going to continue working after you leave federal service?
If you are fully retiring and you need additional monthly income from your savings, then you will need to evaluate the monthly income options available from the TSP compared to the advantages of moving the TSP to an IRA.
If you are going to continue to work after you retire, you will probably not need to start drawing on your TSP funds. So you'll need to evaluate whether the best place to keep this money is in the TSP or whether you should move it to an IRA for future use.
Leave It
Here are some reasons to consider leaving your money in the TSP:
Lower administrative expenses: According to a Forbes report, the average equity mutual fund fee for administrative expenses is 1.4 percent, and the average bond fund fee is .92 percent. In 2012, the administrative expenses of all of the TSP investment options (G, C, F, S, I, and L Funds) were .027 percent. Consider an account balance of $300,000: The difference in one year's fees between .027 percent and 1.4 percent is $81 vs. $4,200.
The G Fund: The G Fund is unique to the TSP. It offers the opportunity to earn rates of interest similar to those of government notes and bonds but without any risk or loss of principal and very little volatility of earnings. This fund will generally maintain a rate of return that is at least slightly higher than inflation without the risk of negative returns.
Ability to access your money earlier: If you retire from government in the year you turn 55 or older, you can get penalty-free access to your TSP account. IRA rules require you to wait until age 59 ½ to gain access to your funds without penalty.
Lawsuit protection: Retirement plans, including the TSP, are fully protected against lawsuits and bankruptcy. According to Forbes, contributory IRAs are only protected against bankruptcy up to $1.17 million. While most rollover IRAs from qualified plans (like the TSP) are exempt from bankruptcy beyond the $1.17 million limit, state laws vary considerably when it comes to other kinds of lawsuits.
Simplicity: What's easier than doing nothing? If you want to leave your money in the TSP, the only thing you really need to do is fill out a form if your address changes. When you are required to take a mandatory distribution when you're older than 70 1/2, the TSP will notify you.
Roll It
Here are two reasons to consider rolling over some or all of your TSP to an IRA:
Partial withdrawals: Technically, the TSP allows only three kinds of partial withdrawals after you leave government: An initial partial withdrawal that can be elected on a form TSP 77; a single payment option when taking a full withdrawal after a series of monthly payments or an annuity; and the option to take a final lump sum distribution when you elect a monthly payment. IRAs are more flexible.
More investment choices: For some people, the C, F, G, S and I Funds are too limiting. If you are comfortable managing your investments, you may want to diversify into more specific choices such as technology specific funds or real estate Investment trusts. More choices, of course, don't necessarily lead to better investing decisions.
There are also some inheritance issues to consider when you choose to leave your money in the TSP. I wrote about them earlier this year.

What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition which affects the nervous system. Epilepsy is also known as a seizure disorder. It is usually diagnosed after a person has had at least two seizures. The seizures in epilepsy may be caused by a brain injury or a genetic disorder, or the cause may be unknown.
What is a seizure?
A seizure is an electrical abnormality in the brain that can temporarily affect a person's movements, sensations, thoughts and actions. Seizures may result from many different disorders that affect the brain. They can range in severity from unnoticeable to life-threatening. They can be partial (occurring in part of the brain) or generalized (occurring throughout the brain). They are also classified as simple (patient is wide awake) or complex (affecting level of alertness), ranging from mild confusion to complete loss of consciousness. The classic "grand mal" (or what is now termed "generalized tonic clonic") seizure involves stiffening of the muscles, shaking, loss of consciousness and brief disruption of breathing. Other types of seizures include absence (typically in children causing disruption of awareness and staring) and myoclonic seizures (causing muscle jerking). Most seizures are brief, lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes, but a seizure can be sustained, quickly becoming a medical emergency.
Diagnosing a seizure disorder may be challenging. Many other neurological abnormalities can be confused with epilepsy, so it is critical to make an accurate diagnosis to provide the appropriate treatment.
A critical piece of information in determining the type of seizure disorder is the description of the event by those who witnessed it. However, other information is often needed to make the proper diagnosis, including a review of the medical history, blood tests, brain imaging tests such as CT and MRI and sometimes a lumbar puncture. These tests provide information regarding the structure of the brain (what it looks like), the environment the brain is in (through blood and spinal fluid tests) and the electrical activity of the brain (how it functions). An important tool in the diagnosis of epilepsy is the electroencephalogram (EEG). The EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain from less than an hour (routine) to sometimes several days (the latter often combined with video monitoring as a video EEG), and can provide critical information in diagnosing and treating the seizure disorder. More complicated cases may require even further testing.
At Orange Regional, we offer patients access to expert epilepsy care. Often neurologists will treat the seizure disorder with medication. For many patients, medication alone is sufficient to control the seizures. If medications are insufficient, additional diagnostic and treatment options may be indicated, such as advanced brain monitoring, more detailed imaging, implantation of neurostimulators, or surgery. Epilepsy specialists at Orange Regional can review all your options with you so that you can make the best, informed decision regarding your care.
What to Do During a Seizure
- If you or a loved one is experiencing a seizure, seek medical attention immediately. The underlying cause may be life threatening.
- Report your experience to your Primary Care Provider.
- Inquire about a neurologist referral.
If you are a witness to a seizure, there are things you can do to help:
- Keep them safe from harming themselves. Clear away objects that could pose a hazard.
- Do not restrain them.
- Do not place anything inside the person's mouth.
- Do not restrain the person's movements, unless they place him or her in danger.
- Turn the person on his or her side to open the airway and allow secretions to drain out of their mouth.
- Stay with the person until the seizure ends.
- Do not pour any liquids into the person's mouth or offer any food, drink or medication until he or she is fully awake.
- If the person appears to be having difficulty breathing, call 911. If the patient does not resume breathing after the seizure, start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
- Let the person rest until he or she is fully awake.

Lake Oswego's A Avenue Under Construction
For Immediate Release
July 11, 2012
Contact: Crystal Shum, Project Manager
A repaving project along A Avenue between State and Tenth Streets in Lake Oswego will begin July 16, affecting local travel. For current information on the construction timeline and impacts go to: https://www.ci.oswego.or.us/publicworks/avenue-rehabilitation-project .
The project includes grinding and repaving, installing a turn lane from eastbound A Avenue to northbound Third Street, catch basin replacement, and modifications to pedestrian ramps at intersections.
In addition to working weekdays between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., the contractor may work some Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. but only between Fourth and Tenth Streets to minimize impacts to the Lake Oswego Farmers' Market. There will be occasional night work, Monday through Thursdays, from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., for paving work and work requiring total lane closures. The night work will help lessen construction impacts on local businesses and traffic, and allow the contractor to complete the work more quickly. Traffic signs will provide travelers information on closures and detours.
A Avenue, which serves over 20,000 daily vehicle trips, was identified in 2010 as badly in need of repair. This repaving project will extend the street's lifetime and postpone major reconstruction for several years.
The work will be completed by Labor Day. For more information, contact the construction hotline at 503-635-0261, or Crystal Shum, Project Manager.
