A Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and money in a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) will be used by Oregon to pay for sewer rehabilitation and drainage improvements.
Council approved the ordinance at a meeting on Monday.
The city has received $60,000 in CDBG funds for 2012.
The Oregon school board will consider expanding the number of bus or shuttle stops for Clay High School students for the 2012-2013 school year.
The shuttle, which currently makes 12 stops, will make another five if the board approves, according to Dean Sandwisch, director of business affairs for the district.
An on-going dispute over parking and access to a garage in a Lake Township neighborhood has resulted in the arrest of an 84-year-old township man.
Police on June 12 charged James A. Caswell, of Cramer Street, after he allegedly slapped the arm of a township police officer who'd been called to a Kearsley Street property where Caswell was involved in a dispute over vehicles parked in the driveway to a garage he uses.
There was a time when "lucky" would not have been the best word to describe Martin "Mike" Halka.

Nets 91, Timberwolves 83
Brook Lopez strengthened his push for a spot on the All-Star team with 22 points on 10-for-16 shooting, helping Brooklyn hold off Minnesota Wednesday night.
The Nets improved to 12-2 under interim coach P.J. Carlesimo, and they're 9-1 with their preferred starting lineup: Lopez, the NBA's highest-scoring center, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace and Reggie Evans. Williams and Johnson scored 18 points apiece, and the Nets never trailed despite some sloppy stretches of play.
C.J. Watson added 14 points for the Nets, who won for the first time in their last nine games at Minnesota. The Wolves have lost seven of their last eight overall.
Heat 123, Raptors 116
Dwyane Wade scored 35 points, LeBron James got his 34th career triple-double and Miami rallied from a 15-point deficit to beat Toronto in overtime.
James finished with 31 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for Miami, getting the last board on Toronto's final shot of the night. Wade added seven assists, including the one that set up Ray Allen for the 3-pointer that clinched the win with 59.3 seconds left in overtime.
Allen scored 18, Mario Chalmers scored 14 and Chris Bosh had a 12-point, 12-rebound night for Miami. The Heat finished overtime on a 13-2 run, erasing a four-point hole.
Grizzlies 106, Lakers 93
Darrell Arthur scored 20 points and Mike Conley added 19 as Memphis beat Los Angeles, handing the Lakers' their fourth straight loss and 10th in 12 games.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni had talked before the game about how having an All-Star team with players not having learned their pecking order. Yet Los Angeles lost its seventh consecutive road game, and center Dwight Howard missed the second half after aggravating his sore shoulder in the first half.
Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph and Tony Allen added 12 points apiece as Memphis improved to 12-0 when scoring at least 100 points. Randolph also grabbed 10 rebounds.

Novosad Att0rneysGriswold and Burdick and Charles W. Carlin ABSTRACT: Long term inhibition of the deposition or accumulation of inorganic scale in operations concerned with working or treating, or producing from, an underground reservoir is attained by employing an organic phosphorus-type scale inhibitor then precipitating its salt within said underground reservoir by a polyvalent inorganic metal salt in an aqueous acidic carrier.
INHIBITION OF DEPOSITION OF SCALE BACKGROUND OF INVENTION The deposition of inorganic scale which includes (as used herein) both relatively soft, sometimes greasy and sticky, and relatively hard depositions or accumulations adhering in vary ing degrees of tenacity to pipes, lines, coils, vessels, housing excavations and other working parts associated with underground operations involving fluid production, transfer, or stimulation, has long plagued the industry concerned with the production of fluids from geologic formations.
Although many scale-removing substances have been found effective and some techniques involving pretreatment of the metal surfaces and/or of the fluid prior to their contacting metal surfaces during which the undesired deposition occurs have been found to be to some extent effective, previous efforts to solve the problem have not been fully satisfactory.
Organic phosphates and organic phosphonates have been tried as inhibitors of scale deposition. Although, in some instances, as above indicated, they have shown promise, a disadvantage usually resulting in their not being accepted has been the fact that, after injection thereof into a geologic formation as in connection with acidizing or hydraulic fracturing operations, the protection afforded by them is only for such a relatively short time that the inconvenience and cost of using them, according to conventional practice, is not fully justified. Modification of the organic phosphonate by admixture with a surface-active chemical improves longevity of inhibitor residence time in formation but drastically reduces penetration of the inhibitor formulation into the underground reservoir.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION Scale deposition or tenaciously adhering accumulations on equipment are inhibited in underground operations by utilizing the novel approach of the invention which comprises, broadly admixing, at a pH below about 2.2, a salt of a polyvalent metal, e.g., one that yields a dior trivalent metal ion, and using in combination therewith a phosphorus-containing compounds, i.e., a phosphate or phosphonate-type inhibitor, e.g., nitrilotrimethylene phosphonic acid, as by admixing both ingredients in aqueous acid, the scale inhibitor is caused to precipitate or gel relatively harmlessly within the geologic formation being treated, whenever the pH of the acidic solution exceeds about 2.2, and does not lodge in or on the surfaces of equipment.
Precipitation of the inhibitor formulation within the underground reservoir is achieved as the acidic aqueous carrier fluid reacts with basic constituents within the formation whereby the pH of the carrier fluid increases above about 2.2, at which time the inhibitor formulation is deposited as a slowly soluble precipitate or gel at the desired sites within the formation as a complex organophosphorus-metallic salt with limited solubility in produced connate water.
Salts to use to provide the metal ion include soluble nitrates, halides, sulfates, and acetates of Fe. Fe'**, Ni, Cr* Mg, Ba, Sr, and AF. Any polyvalent salt may be used so long as it is sufficiently soluble. For example, BaSO is not acceptable because of its insolubility. A trivalent Fe salt, e.g., FeCl or a hydrate thereof, is most commonly used in the practice ofthe invention.
One mode of carrying out the invention is to produce the polyvalent metal ion, usually a dior trivalent metal ion, in situ. For example, if iron or other acceptable metal is known to be present in the geologic formation, as ascertained by a quick analysis of a sample prior to treatment, such condition meets with need for providing the metal ion required for practicing the invention. If the phosphonate delivery fluid has a pH below 2, then oxides of the iron or other acceptable metal will be dissolved by the acid resulting in the metal ion being available to form the polyvalent metal salt of the organic phosphate or phosphonate, which thereafter remains dissolved in the solution until the pH is increased to above about 2.2 within the formation at which time the inhibitor is deposited at the desired sites.
The organophosphate or organophosphonate inhibitor to employ in the practice of the invention includes alkyl ethoxylated phosphates; ethylene diamine tetramethyl phosphonic acid; hexamethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid; alkyl (ethoxylated) diamines; and alkyl phosphates. Preferred organophosphorus compounds are described in US. Pat. Nos. 3,467,192 and 3,336,221 and the references cited therein.
The range of the metal salt to employ should be at least about 1 percent by weight of the organophosphate or organophosphonate present in the aqueous-treating liquid. There is no purpose in exceeding about 5 percent and no occasion justifies adding salt much in excess of about 10 percent. However, greater amounts will not interfere with the accomplishment of the objectives of the invention. The organophosphate or organophosphonate is used in an amount sufficient to make 0.5 to 5.0 percent by weight of the solution, usually about a 1 percent to 2 percent solution is used.
Based on the weight of the treating liquid, it is recommended that between 0.04 and 0.40 pound of the divalent or trivalent metal salt be employed per gallon of the aqueous liquid. Exact metal ion requirement is stoichiometrically equivalent. Greater amounts of the inhibitor than 5 percent (and sometimes greater than 2 to 3 percent) tend to cause the gelation to occur to too great an extent when the pH exceeds about 2.2. Less than about about 0.4 pound of the salt per gallon results in too little gelation occurring.
In the practice of the invention it is recommended that the well be shut in for at least about 3 hours to allow the desired gelation to occur. Gelation will occur only after acid reaction causes rise in pH above about 2.2. The invention is best carried out in association with another operation, e.g., fracturing, acidizing or the like. When so used, the inhibition of the scale deposition is accompanied incidental to the other operation and thereby accompanies to the other desired effect more efficiently and with substantially little additional cost.
The ingredients employed to accomplish the objectives of the invention may be admixed in any known manner, portable rotating mixers being especially convenient to use. The composition must be pumped or otherwise pressured from suitable vessels or tanks down a borehole and forced back into the formation, commonly employing pumps known to provide suitable force to accomplish this purpose. A premixed composition is most convenient. Of course, if preferred, the separate materials may be fed into a common line leading to or down a wellbore whereby intimate mixing is obtained during injection.
So long as the components required to be present in the composition of the method of the invention are brought into contact with the recesses of the formation substantially concurrently (even though one may be injected a short time before the other) a synergistic effect will be attained so long as they are present at the same time to inhibit depositions of substances on pipes, lines, pumps, valves, etc. from the fluid in the formation.
EXAMPLE The following example illustrates the practice of the invention. Nitrilotrimethylene phosphonic acid was used as the inorganic scale inhibitor. It was a liquid having a flash point of F a freezing point of 40 F., and a cloud point of 20 F. Sufficient of the scale inhibitor was used to result in a l percent by weight aqueous solution which had a pH value below 2.2. Thereafter FeCl -6H O which was in the form of yellow solid crystalline lumps, in an amount to result in 5 percent by weight of the solution, was admixed with the aqueous solution of organic scale inhibitor.
The solution so made was pumped down a well penetrating a geologic formation, which had been giving rise to accumulations of scale on production equipment. The solution was forced back into the formation at fracturing pressures (i.e., at sufficient pressure to overcome the overburden weights and create definite fractures in the formation) and thereafter pressure maintained on the well for a period of about 3 hours after which the pressure was released and the well put back into production. During the subsequent production, tests were taken of the oil being produced and the pipes tested for scale deposition periodically for a period of 12 months. Such tests showed that the combination of FeCl and the nitrilotrimethylene phosphonic acid lessened the deposition of scale on the tubing to such a desirable extent as to show a lesser amount thereof in that long period than had theretofore formed in about 3 months.
The protection afforded by the combined inhibiting effect of the FeCl and the nitrilotrimethylene phosphonic acid provided a highly desirable savings in the operation of the well by prolonging its period of continuous production threeto fourfold over that previously experienced.
There is thus shown an unpredictable synergistic effect against scale deposition from underground fluids on pipes, tubing, pumps, vessels, valves, and other working parts, by emplacing a polyvalent metal salt soluble in the treating fluid and an organophosphate or phosphonate scale inhibitor in the formation whereby the deposition of interfering scale on the surface of well-working, treating, or production equipment is inhibited.
Having described our invention, what we claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
l. The method of inhibiting the formation of scale, of either a soft or hard nature or mixture thereof, on well-working, treating, or production equipment, with which a fluid present in a geologic formation comes in contact, which comprises contacting inner recesses of the formation with an acidic aqueous composition having a pH value not greater than 2 consisting essentially by weight of at least about 1 percent of at least one polyvalent metal salt soluble in said aqueous composition and between about 0.5 and about 5.0 percent of an organic phosphorus-containing compound selected from the class consisting of organophosphates and organophosphonates and balance substantially water and maintaining the well closed in until said acidic composition reaches a pH greater than about 2.2.
2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the salt of said composition consists essentially of between about 1 and about 5 percent of a salt selected from the class consisting of at least one of a halide, nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, and acetate of at least one metal selected from the class consisting of Fe, Fe***, Ni, Ni' Cr* Cr, Mg, Ba and AV.
4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the aqueous composition containing said salt and organic phosphorus-containing compound is injected down the well and forced back into the formation sufficiently to become at least temporarily lodged in the outer recesses of a fluid-bearing zone thereof when the pH of the aqueous solution exceeds about 2.

|ESPN: SportsNation
Who will coach the Raiders in 2013?
You aren't liking Dennis Allen's chances?
Is there any word on who Romeo is interviewing for the OC position at the Senior Bowl?
Has been pretty quiet. One name that I keep eharing is Brian Daboll. he worked with Crennel and Pioli in New England.
Bill, getting a question in early while I am at work. Hypothetically if Manning is released and is healthy do you think Elway would take a shot? And IF so do you think MIA would give their 2nd for Tebow? They could use the gate jump and have 2 good backs to help out.
I coudl see Elway being interested in Manning, but I think there will be other teeam willing to give Manning more money than Denver.As for Miami and Tebow, I think the Dolphins would rather take arun at Matt Flynn.
Has there been any news on Kyle Orton and the Chiefs? If Kyle leaves, will the Chiefs bring in another qb to compete with Cassel?
I think the Chiefs plan on making Cassel their starter and Orton will look for a job elsewhere. I'd doubt Orton would be interested in coming back unless he was the starter. I think the only way he'd re-sign with the Chiefs is if there were no better options as a starter.
Do you think the Chiefs will go after Carl Nicks in free agency?
He'd cost big money. I think the Chiefs would spend elsehwere if they want to spend big cash.
Hey Bill, love your blogs man. In regards to Dennis Allen, was he the best fit for Oakland. I mean another first time coach to handle a team that lacks discipline and basically has had a player friendly owner than a coach friendly one. I mean, players weren't discipined with player friend coaches, why would they for a hard militarized guy? Just wondering. Also, what is the hold up with the official contract, quality cooridnators are leaving quickly and I think we need a good on for DC regardless if Allen is a defensive coach. I say keep Saunders! What do you think buddy?
Thanks for your kind words ... IOm going to trust McKenzie on this one. It was a bit risky, but, by all accounts, Allen is a quality, up and comer. Plus, he was loved in Denver. He clearly impressed McKenzie because Allen was not a frontrunner when this process began. He will be good, but the only quiestion is will he be good now.As far as the contract. Don't worry about it. He's the coach.
If Manning is available would the chiefs be active in pursing him?
I know it has benen mentioned. But I don't real;ly see it.
Anymore word on Carr and Bowe out of KC.
Most lilkely to be pursued by the Raiders: Finnegan, Grimes, or Carr?
No. There's still time, but as of know, it's quiet. Remember, these things can happen very quiickly. If we get into March, then it may be time for the Chiefs to worry.On Raiders: I'd say Carr, becuase he is the most likely to be available.
Do you think the raiders should have hired the DC of a top 5 defense(chuck pagano) instead of the DC of the 20th ranked defense
I'm not sure if a coach should be hired simply on rankings. The big picture here is Allen immensley improved the worst defense in the NFL and he has a big upside.Don't you think the Ravens have better talent on denfes ethan the Broncos do?
Bill love your work on the blog. Do you Denver could take a late round flyer on Derron Thomas from Oregon in the draft. if they decide to fully commit to Tebow next year. He has ran the spread option and could bring some explosiveness to the position.
Thanks. Teams like to have their backup be a similar player to their starting quarterback for practice reason and transition reoans is there is a injury. So I think you are on the right track. That could be a possibility,
If the chiefs don't sign Bowe would they consider V. Jackson of the bolts?
I think that could be a possibility. What about Wes Welker. Make Baldwin the deep threat and Welker (who knows Pioli well) a possession guy. Still, that might be a pipedream because I have a hard time seeing Welker leaving the Patriots.
What team will V-Jax be on next season?
If I had a guess I'd say the Chargers. I think they need to give him a long-term deal to show the fans they mean business.
Do you believe Scott Pioli will make big moves in free agency and draft considering he maybe on the hot seat?
He usually doesn't spend big. I think the plan will be to keep Bowe and Carr ands then add some pisces.
What are the Chances Peyton goes to the jets?
I say Washington is the leader in that clubhouse.
What are the chances Oakland give Bush the franchise tag, with Mcfadens history of injurys?
We've discussed it on the blog before. I think it's a real possibility.
are the chiefs drafting oline or taking a guy like poe with the 11/12 pick?
I think those are the two areas the Chiefs will look at first.
Is Dennis Allen going to have full power to hire his coaching staff?
That's what McKenzie has said. From what I heard, that is the way is it going, yes.
Who is the biggest FA to hit the market in the AFC West?
I'd say Bowe or Jackson.
Did you read the article about Arrowhead and the rumors that are floating around about phone taps and the staff turnover in the front office? What is your take on all that?
We addressed it on the blog the day it came out. I think many former employees in many busineess are unhappy.
Are you hearing anything out of San Diego about when talks will start between AJ and Vincent Jackson's camp on a LONG TERM Deal?
Jackson said yesterday that there has bene no talks, but I'm hearing there is reason to believe the Chargers will talk to him.
Bill I certainly am guardedly optimistic about the Raiders hiring of Allen as the head coach and am pleased to hear how highly regarded he is by his former players and the coaches he has worked for. What will priority one be for Allen is re-shaping the Raiders defensive roster and direction?
Tsckling and being smart will be things Allen preaches.
Bill..who do you think Denver will go after for it's DC.?
Fox said he's in no rush. Denver LB coach Richard Smith and former Jax coach Jack Del Rio will likely be top candidtaes.
Do you think the Chiefs would go after Paul Soliai in FA this year?
He's a nice player who makes sense there, yes.
Hey bill, do you see Denver going after a running back in the first round of the draft or a DT. I know everyone says their taking a DT but thats what theyve said every year and still no luck
I think they will be open to those areas. Look at CB as well.
Fox has never been a big on receiving TE's...but I think one would help Tebow immensly. You see Fox going after one after drafting two duds (so far) last draft?
They have a solid on in Daniel Fells and they are high on Julius Thomas. Hitting the tight ends is something Tebow will have to improve on. Fells was open a lot last season.
Any chance Saunders will stick around Oakland to keep continuity with the offense and Palmer? I feel Palmer, under the same offense and full off-season to work out, will be dangerous next year
I think there is a strong chance of it happening.
Bill, what are the chances of Allen taking any other coaches from the Bronco staff. Seems to me there would be a nice familiarity there as to how he would run the program. Please tell me they wont bring in Del Rio as the DC, not what the Broncos need at this time. Thanks for your time.
I think maybe he'd take a couple, but I'd be shocked if he led a mass exodus out of Denver. No promises on Del Rio.
Is the Chargers defense good enough to win the division and beyond? I noticed our defense taking wider stances/splits at times that seemed to open running lanes. What do you think?
We'll see.
Defensively, how close are the Chiefs to being elite?
Maybe two real impact guys on the front seven. It was playing great at the end of the season. Getting Berry back will be huge.
Any word on when the Raiders will announce Allen as coach officially?
Any day now. Don't worry. It's happening.
Who's most likely to be retained this off season;D Bowe-KCV Jax-SDBush-Oak
I expect them all to be back. It's the beauty of the franchise tag.
What does San Diego need to do to get to a Super Bowl?
Better pass rush, better health and better ball security.
Who do you see as the DC & OC for the raiders
If I ahd to guess right now: Emmitt Thoams (DC), Al Saunders (OC).
why didn't Jerelle Powe see the field this year for the Chiefs?
He's a project. It will take time.
Dennis Allen GREAT PICK
Glad, you are happy.
Bill, I love your blog! Will Denver suffer from any possible big FA losses this year?
Thanks, keeping Bunkley and Prater is essential.
Bill regarding Raiders QBs do you think there will be a battle for QB1 or do you think they will go back with Jason Campbell under center?
Palmer wil be the guy. Expect Cmapbell to walk as a free agent.
is allen going to continue the switch of huff to cb or will he keep him at safety since he was originally a DB coach and can help HUff with the position
That's an interesting quesiton. That news broke when Hue was stil coach. I think Allen will be asked about it soon.
Great hour, folks. Talk to you next week.

I am currently writing an application in JavaScript where I'm matching input to regular expressions, but I also need to find a way how to match strings to parts of the regular expressions.
For example:
var invalid = "x",
potentially = "g",
valid = "ggg",
gReg = /^ggg$/;
gReg.test(invalid); //returns false (correct)
gReg.test(valid); //returns true (correct)
Now I need to find a way to somehow determine that the value of the
potentially variable doesn't exactly match the
/^ggg$/ expression, BUT with more input, it potentially can!
So for example in this case, the
potentially variable is
g, but if two more
g's are appended to it, it will match the regular expression
But in the case of
invalid, it can never match the
/^ggg$/ expression, no matter how many characters you append to it.
So how can I determine if a string has or doesn't have potential to match a particular regular expression?

With his trademark colorful and compelling images of animals both familiar and exotic, acclaimed British illustrator, Christopher Wormell, brings a uniquely artful point of view to the traditional counting book. Wormell's inventive approach to illustrating the numbers from 1 to 20 highlights intriguing parts, behaviors, or features of specific animals, rather than simply increasing the numbers of the animals themselves. This new perspective presents an opportunity for further parent-child exploration of the animal-How many legs does the camel have? What color is the ladybug?-in keeping with the current trend toward interdisciplinary education for the very young.
About the Author
Chris Wormell's other books include: Where I Live and What I Eat, Blue Rabbit and Friends, Blue Rabbit and the Runaway Wheel, and Animal Train.

The Prospector Theater in Ridgefield, Connecticut is still under construction, but movies are now being shown in a storefront location called the Prospector Theater's Pop-Up Shop.
The Ridgefield Press published an article recently about the new operation, and the work that is progressing:
"We want to bring white-gloved ushers back, to open the doors and welcome our audiences," said the Prospector Theater's Valerie Jensen.
"Other theaters are interested in seeing how few people they can operate with. We're approaching this from the opposite."
Ms. Jensen is the founder and activating spirit of the Prospector, under construction on the site of the old Playhouse movie theater on Prospect Street — and also of the Prospector Pop-Up, a storefront at 454 Main Street that is bringing movies and other programing to town in advance of the big theater's opening this summer.
The Pop-Up
While the building on Prospect Street is still under construction, the Prospector has already begun hosting events — and movies — at the Prospector Pop-Up, a storefront at 454 Main Street with seating for 40 and a big-screen, high-end media system that gives the feel of a theater.

Good 3.4 /5 from 17 reviews
Excellent location and superb serservice. It's a bit off road and the approach road isn't that great but once you are in the property you forget everything. It's right in the middle of tea plantation ... Green is the colour all around. There is a lil tree house to have a casual drink as well which we loved.
Hotel is nice but, it is unbeatable with breathtaking view that it offers. Try to stay on the fifth floor. Few pointers : 1. There are no shops nearby but thats ok. 2. Room service on a-la-carte needs to improve. Hotel doesn't serve a-la-carte after 7ish. 3. Dinner is only buffet however, you can request hotel to serve dishes in buffet on a-la-carte basis in your room. Prices are very reasonable.
Im pretty much satisfied with the resort and its service though its located far away from munnar town ( around 3 kms) and its difficult to get there as it was off road. But the view from hotel was just breathtaking! :)
Honestly , i will not advise anybody to stay there , first its veryyyy far from other sight scene in Munnar , and approach road is soooo BAD that you don't feel like going anywhere after reaching here . Once you are in Hotel you are stuck in there , there is no activity in and around of it , their recreational center has hardly anything to keep yourself busy .In room service was really poor , and in bathroom no hot water available in there . Not a single TV channel was in Hindi or English , Finally they entertain only locals not any other part of India . Will never think about going there again .
The location of the hotel is great,in the middle of the tea plantations.Also the staff is very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately ,the first night we stayed in one of the regular rooms and the bed was in terrible shape,also the room was pretty old.The staff immediately took note and upgraded us to a nicer room for the rest of the stay but beds seem to be a problem through the resort. More recreational activities would be required for families as there is only carrom and TT available in the rec room. Overall experience was good ;but I don't think I would have been happy if the room had not been upgraded .
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Caudal regression syndrome may have different causes in different people, and is likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Maternal diabetes is a major risk factor for the disorder.[1] Most cases are sporadic or are associated with maternal diabetes. Management is supportive and may include surgery. The prognosis is poor; some newborns with severe cases do not survive the neonatal period. Those that survive infancy usually have normal cognitive function.[2]Caudal regression syndrome is a disorder that impairs the development of the lower (caudal) half of the body. It may affect the lower back (including the spinal cord), limbs,

Library Book Club
On Wednesday, July 27 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Library, the book Martin Marten by Brian Doyle will be discussed.
From the publisher: "Dave is fourteen years old, living with his family in a cabin on Oregon's Mount Hood (or as Dave prefers to call it, like the Native Americans once did, Wy'east). He is entering high school, adulthood on the horizon not far off in distance, and contemplating a future away from his mother, father, and his precocious younger sister. And Dave is not the only one approaching adulthood and its freedoms on Wy'east that summer. Martin, a pine marten (a small animal of the deep woods, of the otter/mink family), is leaving his own mother and siblings and setting off on his own as well. As Martin and Dave's paths cross on forest trails and rocky mountaintops, they — and we — witness the full, unknowable breadth and vast sweep of life, and the awe-inspiring interconnectedness of the world and its many inhabitants, human and otherwise. Martin Marten is a coming-of-age tale like no other, told in Brian Doyle's joyous, rollicking style."
New members are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be served.

Library Board
The Library Board meeting for July 20 has been CANCELLED. The next meeting will be held on August 17 at the library.
Math Help Available
North Plains Public Library now has a math and science tutor to assist students. Volunteer Stacie will be available for two half-hour segments each Saturday morning, one from 10-10:30 and the other from 10:30-11. She will help in math from an elementary school level through calculus and in the sciences from an elementary school level through the college level.
Call the library at 503-647-5051 to sign up for a free tutoring session.
Art Exhibit
The art exhibit in July and August features photographs of the quilts exhibited in the library above the checkout desk during the previous 15 months, April 2015 through June 2016.
The photos were taken and framed by Library Board member Stephanie Farris.
Morning Coffee Cart
We want you to think of the North Plains Public Library as your "third" place – the place besides home (number 1) and work (number 2) where residents automatically know to go for meetings, to take classes, to hang out. This is about the LIBRARY being the living room or the front porch of our community.
Although regular library services (computer access, staff assistance) are not available until 10 a.m., we now open our doors every weekday morning at 8 a.m. for you to come have a cup of coffee ($1 for 12 oz, $.50 for refills), read a newspaper (USA Today, Oregonian, Hillsboro Tribune, Hillsboro Argus) or magazines, and check out holds and other library materials on the SelfCheck machine.
Come enjoy our beautiful library and what it has to offer while enjoying a fresh brew, served by our dedicated cadre of Library Volunteers.
July Quilt Display
The quilt on display through July features a patriotic theme and was made by North Plains resident Renee Wallace.
This is a 64" X 77" quilt designed by Diane Tomlinson, the associate editor of LOVE OF QUILTING. Renee used fabrics from the Stonehenge Stars and Stripes collection by Linda Ludovico.
Craft Guild Meeting
Join our informal group of knitters, crocheters, and crafters on our NEW meeting day and time: the first Tuesday evening of each month from 7 to 8 p.m. at the library. Bring your yarn or cloth and needles (or other craft projects) and enjoy the camaraderie as you work on your individual projects.
The group will take a summer break and have NO MEETING IN JULY. The next get-together will be on Tuesday, August 2 at 7 p.m. (Note: this is intended to be an informal get-together of crafters; individual or class instruction will not be available.)
Writer's Group
This group is currently taking a hiatus. In the fall, it will be determined if members will resume having regular meetings at the library.
Save the Date
Thursday, August 18 at 6:30 p.m. Bluegrass Banjo with Tommi Poelstra
If you've ever wanted to know more about bluegrass banjo, how to become part of the Portland bluegrass community, or just want to hear what bluegrass music sounds like, join us on Thursday, August 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the North Plains Public Library for an entertaining evening of bluegrass banjo and guitar accompaniment. Tommi Poelstra picked up a banjo at age 40 and dove headlong into a world she knew nothing about. Six years later, she still loves strumming, singing, and learning about all things bluegrass. She will provide an opportunity to learn more about the basics of bluegrass banjo and how it differs from clawhammer or Irish banjo. Poelstra will be accompanied by fellow "bluegrasser" Fred Coates, who will assist with singing, harmony, and guitar backup. Coates has been strumming guitar for several decades and bringing laughter to the Portland bluegrass scene for well past 15 years. His soulful singing and cheerful outlook make it easy to see why he has been in several bands, why he is a natural entertainer, and why he emcees at various Washington and Oregon bluegrass festivals. This free event promises a memorable performance of music and educational entertainment. All ages are welcome to attend.
New Quilt Raffle
Many thanks to Westside Quilters Guild members for their generous donation of a new, colorful quilt for the Library to raffle as a fundraiser.
Tickets are now on sale and will be sold throughout the coming year until the winning ticket is drawn at the annual Elephant Garlic Festival in August 2016. Each ticket is $1, or 6 tickets will be issued for $5. This year's beautiful quilt was created by Marcia Elliott and is titled Japanese Lanterns. It will be continuously on display in the Library.

Lead by Labour peer and former Transport Secretary Andrew Adonis, and with contributions from leading developers, planners, policymakers and academics, this collection of essays sets out a series of recommendations to improve transport links, bridge the Thames and create new towns. Taken together, Go East offers a practical agenda for development – one that will build on the Estuary's rich heritage whilst helping London to meet its challenges.

Chinese Dipping Sauce
Total Time
Prep 40 mins
Cook 1 hr
Dipping sauces are an integral part of Chinese cooking. This sauce is simple to make but tastes great when served with stir-fries, or egg rolls or any other Chinese item which uses a dipping sauce.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1⁄2 tablespoon superfine sugar
- 1 piece fresh ginger, finely grated (one inch)
- 1⁄2 small red chile, seeded and finely chopped
- Mix together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir well until combined.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator, to allow the flavors to infuse, for at least 1 hour prior to serving.
Most Helpful
I think the amounts are off in this recipe; therefore, I'm not rating it. The oil and vinegar were overwhelming. Doubling the soy may help out the proportions. Perhaps the sauce was meant to be like this, but, for my tastes, it wasn't quite right.

text: About one week ago was posted a bigger test. The ref-seq was about 50-60 mb. It costs some time to read it amd put it in the buffer. What do you think about parallel I/O ? There are lots of possibilities with MPI, but what's about OpenMP, or Intel-stuff ? The data will be probably one one hard disk, so we don't have lots of options, I fear (because of only one head). What do you think? What do the organizers think? do You want us to do I/O parallel ?
