The Portland Housing Advisory Commission (PHAC) is a volunteer public advisory body that advises the Director of the Portland Housing Bureau (PHB), the Housing Commissioner and the Portland City Council on a range of housing policy and program issues.
The PHAC functions as the PHB Budget Advisory Committee, satisfying local requirements for citizen participation in the City's annual budget process. In this role, the PHAC assists in aligning PHB's resources—including federal funds, local general fund, and the "Affordable Housing Set-aside" of tax increment funds generated through urban renewal—to PHB's mission. The PHAC also plays a role in federal regulatory compliance. Learn more about PHB's budget process or get involved by visiting the City Budget Office webpage.
As an advisory group, the PHAC does not have explicit decision-making authority or primary oversight responsibility. PHB looks to the PHAC to bring ideas, analysis and perspectives to the table; to highlight opportunities for influence between the City's housing system and other systems; and to provide a forum for public input on housing issues. The PHAC promotes improvements within PHB and the larger housing system and increases the profile of PHB in the community. PHB asks the PHAC to:
If you are interested in applying to be a member of the PHAC, please fill out the application (links at left and below; available in Microsoft Word and PDF formats) and return to the Office of Neighborhood Involvement (ONI); ONI will forward your application to the PHB.

"Sincere thanks to Sean Azim for his assistance in selling my Richmond Hill condo.
The unit sold in less than a week for above asking price, and I could not have done
it without Sean's around the clock availability and his tireless efforts in answering
all of my questions. Sean guided me through every step of the sale and I trust that he
worked on my behalf with full honesty and disclosure. He gave me his undivided attention
and I will definitely work with him in the future if the opportunity arises."

With tears in his eyes, the stricken father approached Rep. Steve Eliason with a request.
"Please help me do something about this," the father asked several years ago, Eliason said, "so families don't have to experience this same tragedy that we're dealing with." The man's middle-school-aged child had committed suicide.
Eliason, R-Sandy, is working to fulfill that request this session with a bill, HB298, aimed at implementing parent seminars in school districts across the state on suicide awareness, substance abuse, bullying, mental health and Internet safety, including pornography addiction. The House Education Committee voted 9-3 Tuesday to advance the measure to the House floor.
It's been years since that father first approached Eliason, but youth suicide has remained an issue in Utah, with a number of kids and teens taking their own lives, including the recent high-profile case of 14-year-old David Phan. The teen committed suicide at Bennion Junior High in front of other students late last year.
"It's the second leading killer of our children," Eliason said of suicide. "If those kinds of numbers happened in a school shooting at one time the overwhelming public response would be deafening, but when it happens a few at a time it goes unnoticed sometimes."
The bill would require the state school board to develop a curriculum on the issues, and it would then be up to local school districts whether to offer the seminars to parents. If school districts opted out of giving the seminars they would have to notify the state school board and give reasons for not providing them.
Eliason ran a similar bill last year that initially passed through the House and the Senate but failed after the two bodies couldn't reach agreement on last minute changes to the measure that would have required the seminars to include information on human sexuality. This year's bill does not include human sexuality (though a separate bill, SB39, seeks to offer training to parents on how to tackle sex education).
Eliason's bill Tuesday elicited support, opposition and macabre memories that led some committee members to feel strongly about the proposal.
Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, recalled that the worst day of her teaching career was when one of her Advanced Placement (AP) students killed himself on the day of the AP exam.
"These are our kids and our students and we should provide the opportunity for parents to get this kind of information," Moss said.
Rep. Marie Poulson, D-Salt Lake City, also a retired teacher, told of an eighth-grade student in one of her classes who killed himself over a summer break. She said the memory still torments her.
"I think this dialogue needs to be out there," Poulson said. "We need to do everything we can to prevent these things from happening."
In Utah, two youths are treated for suicide attempts each day, according to a 2011 report by the Utah Department of Health.
Other committee members, however, said that though they're sympathetic to the issue, the bill seems to put too much of a burden on schools. Rep. Jim Nielsen, R-Bountiful, said he's concerned about the number of things lawmakers ask schools to do, when really they should be focusing on teaching academics.
"We always see a tragedy and feel a desire to respond," Nielsen said. "The question I have is, can government fix these things? Can schools do it?"
State Superintendent Martell Menlove said he wants to be part of the solution acknowledging that "this is a tragedy too many of us have been too close to in our educational careers."
He noted that many school districts are already reaching out to parents about suicide prevention and other topics. He said he just hopes lawmakers understand that schools are already stretched and can't alone solve such weighty problems.
He said the state school board has not yet taken a position on the bill. Canyons District Superintendent David Doty spoke in support of the proposal Tuesday, saying Canyons is already doing much of what the bill suggests. Pamela Atkinson, chair of the Utah Coalition Against Pornography, also voiced support.

text: Busy week for recruits visiting Motown By Mitch Vingle October 18, 2012 Story Share FINDING HUMOR in dark moments helps one get through life.And so it was I thought of WVU recruiting coordinator Ryan Dorchester. I recalled how frazzled Dorchester, just two years from earning his master's degree, seemed a few days before the last football signing day."We're crossing our fingers," Dorchester said at the time, "and dotting our I's."A couple weeks before, I asked if the Mountaineer coaches might start their recruiting effort over following a blowout of Clemson in the Orange Bowl. Dorchester said no. I asked why."Because," he said, "I'd have to check into a mental hospital."And then there's the ongoing recruiting effort. In the wake of WVU's blowout loss at Texas Tech, I thought of Dorchester. The Mountaineers were riding high, a top-5 team, after a win at Texas. Recruits had to be impressed. And then came the WVU meltdown.Has to be like a stockbroker after a market crash, right?"No," Dorchester said on Thursday. "To be honest, the game-to-game stuff doesn't affect or sway a kid as much as you might think it would. I mean, you don't want to go lose to Tech like we did. One kid might let it affect him. But, on the whole, it won't make much of a difference."It is, however, important how a team finishes. Dorchester pointed to the Orange Bowl victory. "No one remembered the Syracuse [loss]," he said.WVU currently has 15 commitments for the 2013 class. Scout.com ranks the Mountaineer class No. 34 nationally. ("We're happy with where we're at," Dorchester said.) But it's a long way to the February signing date.Anyway, about a month ago, I reported West Virginia has four committed running backs. The reason: the Mountaineers have but two returning scholarship backs - Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison - next season. Now, another running back recruit - Jojo Kemp, a three-star, 5-foot-10, 189-pound player from Deland, Fla., who has "softly" committed to South Florida - is reportedly visiting WVU this weekend.Dorchester said about 50 recruits will hit Morgantown this Saturday, although not all on official visits. He can't comment on specific recruits. He did, however, comment on a specific question: Do position needs change as the season moves along? "They can," he said. "They definitely can. You might think you're better off or worse off at positions when the season starts. It can be a fluid situation. You never know, for instance, about injuries or kids that become academically ineligible. Unfortunately, with [academic troubles], you don't know until January."A notable absence on the commitment list, however, is at cornerback. The Mountaineers have freshmen playing in the secondary like corners Ricky Rumph and Nana Kyeremeh and safeties Karl Joseph and K.J. Dillon. But if ever a team needed secondary help, it's one ranked No. 118 in pass defense and No. 119 in pass efficiency defense. Keep in mind there are but 120 FBS schools."Any kid we recruit can't help us now," Dorchester said. "And we have some young kids we think will be good players. But, yes, it's a position we have [recruiting] plans for." Among the DBs reported to be visiting Morgantown on Saturday is 6-3, 188-pound three-star defensive back Lamar Robbins of Miami (Fla.) Southridge High. Other schools offering him include Arkansas, Auburn, Michigan State, Nebraska, Oklahoma and South Carolina, as well as Marshall.Dorchester pointed out, however, that his charge is to simply find great athletes."In the Big 12, you find athletes and turn them into something," he said. "The last two corners drafted out of West Virginia were quarterbacks in high school - Keith Tandy and Brandon Hogan."nn Among others set to visit Morgantown for the Kansas State game are Marquion Lane, a three-star 6-2, 175-pound wideout from Deland, Fla.; Rayfield Dixon, a two- and three-star 6-3, 196-pound linebacker-safety from Loxahatchee, Fla.; and Paul James, a three-star 6-4, 245-pound defensive end from Miami.Lane, from Trinity Christian Academy, also has offers from Arizona, Arkansas, Boston College, Florida State, Miami, Michigan State and Nebraska, among others. Dixon, of Seminole Ridge High, also has offers from Minnesota, Purdue and Wake Forest. James, of Norland High, also has offers from Alabama, Illinois, Florida State, Miami, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Marshall. nnAnd finally . . .Some college hoops to whet your appetite for the upcoming season.On Thursday, I worked on my preseason Associated Press basketball poll vote, as well as nominations for the five-man preseason All-America team.The USA Today/ESPN poll has already been released with a top 5 of Indiana, Louisville, Kentucky, Ohio State and John Beilein's Michigan. The AP poll will be released Oct. 26.If interested, my top 5 is Louisville, North Carolina State, Indiana, Kansas and Michigan. (You can see the entire vote in the Gazette when the poll is released.) My All-America team votes went to Isaiah Canaan of Murray State, Cody Zeller of Indiana, Jeff Withey of Kansas, Doug McDermott of Creighton and Pierre Jackson of Baylor.I also had a chance to touch base with WVU coach Bob Huggins, who was in Morgantown after returning from the Big 12 basketball media day. ("Deniz [Kilicli] was the star of the Big 12 media day," Huggins said with a chuckle. "They loved him out there.")Huggins will unveil his entire team to the Mountain State tonight with the Gold-Blue Debut at Morgantown's Coliseum. It's a 7:30 p.m. free admission deal. There will be a 40-minute officiated game as well as much, well, hoopla.The call to Huggins was placed, however, to ask about WVU's team health. The last time we spoke, the coach said a couple of his players were hampered with injury. Juwan Staten had minor knee surgery and Matt Humphrey had shoulder surgery."Staten is not full go yet," Huggins said on Thursday. "He's the only one, but he'll be able to do some things, like all the half-court stuff."Curiosities to WVU fans have to include transfers Aaric Murray, Staten and Humphrey as well as the two freshmen, Terry Henderson and Eron Harris."The freshmen are playing really well," Huggins said. "They make shots. They're playing hard and with enthusiasm. I don't think they can guard a door with a shotgun, but they'll learn."Classic Huggins.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

Holiday Hair
Start with a box of individual lashes (found at drugstores) that contains at least two lengths. "The strip variety is easier to work with," Brown says, "but using single lashes at the outer corners looks much more natural." Be sure to buy black, not white, glue—it's more forgiving if you make a mistake.
1. Hold a lash up to your eye with tweezers to check the length. (Medium is usually best for the whole eye, though you can use longer ones on the outer edges.) Dip lash in glue, then wait a few seconds for the paste to dry partially.
2. Begin at the outside of the lid, checking to ensure proper placement close to your natural lash.

Ashley Easterwood has achieved more major life milestones in the last two and half years than many people experience over the span of a decade.
In the midst of getting married, relocating to Houston, having a baby and working full time as a marketing director and technical writer for an oil and gas company, Easterwood managed to earn a master's degree from the University of St. Thomas. The Spring area resident will graduate from UST in August with a Master in Liberal Arts concentration in English.
It's all about finding a work-school-life balance, Easterwood says. With a flexible employer, family support and convenient evening classes at UST, she was able to do it all.
When Easterwood and her husband, Jeff, relocated to Houston from Bryan/College Station in 2008, she was able to keep her job at Otis Instruments. She now works from home four days a week, and commutes to the office in Bryan one day a week. Easterwood enrolled in the St. Thomas MLA Program while she was expecting her first child. By the time she graduated from UST, she was expecting her second child – due in September.
"I chose St. Thomas because it's a school that offers interesting classes that will help me to prosper professionally, as well as stimulate my personal interest," Easterwood said. "I chose the St. Thomas MLA English concentration because I have a passion for writing, and I liked the variety of courses I could take within the English Department; I didn't have to study just literature."
Easterwood said the availability of evening classes enabled her to complete her master's degree while she was working full time.
"Every class I have taken has been at 5:30 p.m.; I know UST offers Saturday classes, but my limited time with my family was not something I was willing to give up," she said. "It works out that most of the classes are in the afternoon or evening, and many of the professors understand that the majority of the people in the program have full-time jobs.
"Even if I was late for class, professors understood and let it slide a couple times," Easterwood said. "Just because we have other things to do, it doesn't mean we don't care about the class, we are just trying to make it work in our lives."
That faculty flexibility came in handy the summer Easterwood was expecting her first child, Cera.
"I didn't know if I was going to make it through the summer semester without going into labor," she said. "I kept going to class up until the end, but my professor sent me home. He even let my husband drop off the take-home final exam."
Easterwood said her day revolves around a schedule, and absolutely everything has to fall into place. Despite her numerous commitments, Easterwood said Cera has never been to daycare, and spends the days home with her while she works in her home office.
"My husband is really helpful," she said. "A few semesters, I would have to drive by his office on my way to class and we would switch off with the baby. He always understood that going to school was something I was doing for myself – it was my time. My classes helped me stay current on what was going on in the world around me, and gave me the opportunity to have adult interaction instead of just talking to babies or writing technical manuals all day."
For now, Easterwood plans to continue working from home, but hopes to someday find a career in magazine writing and editing.

The Canisius College women's lacrosse team opened MAAC play with a 19-12 win over Iona on Saturday afternoon in New Rochelle, N.Y.
The Griffs scored nine-straight goals in the second half to put a game that was tied at 10 at the start of the run out of reach, and improve Canisius' record to 5-4 on the year.
"I thought we showed a great amount of resiliency today," said head coach Scott Teeter. "We rallied in the second half with balanced scoring, a number of good defensive stops and great transition offense. We also finished our shots when the game was on the line."
The Blue and Gold was led offensively by junior attacker Tori Quinn, who racked up eight points (five goals and three assists). Senior midfielder Maria Kotas and sophomore attacker Taylor Giglio each chipped in four goals and an assist, while sophomore midfielder Ashley Bull added three goals.
Through the first 20 minutes of play, Canisius had opened up a 9-4 lead over the Gaels, but Iona closed the half scoring four of the last five and opened up the second frame with the first two goals, knotting things at 10.
The nine-straight Griffs' goals were scored by four different players, with Quinn netting three of her five in that span, Kotas scoring twice, Giglio adding two and junior midfielder Tori Greco scoring twice as well.
Canisius' run was helped by the defensive effort of junior goaltender Kayla Scully, who made nine of her 12 saves in the second half.
The Griffs will now return home to face Marist on Wednesday, with first draw scheduled for 4 p.m.
GAME NOTES: Greco's two goals tied her career high… Canisius has won its MAAC opener for the fourth consecutive season… The Griffs tied their season high with 19 goals in the contest.

|I have a SpeedAire I bought at Grainger. It is a little hotdog but I use it the most. I rarely fire up the big one unless I have a bunch to do.
Check on Craigs list, in my area there are always small compressors for sale, housing industry is very slow and a lot of tools are for sale.
Most of the small compressors I have worked with are a bit weighty though.
Another thought, what about a air bag/suspension compressor?
4jaw we use those cambell compressors like that at work for nailing mostly. I think they might be one step down.. Anyway they are really tough compressors. We have given them hell for four years and they are still fine.. However... I would like to replace one with a lightweight compressor. I get sick of picking those things up.. 40lbs I would think.. The wheels are nice, but for me at six foot five they don't touch the ground when I stand up straight.
I am going to try one of those lil HF compressors.. If I like it, I will get one for work.
Probably that one you have there Matt.
I have the predisesor to this compressor.. had it about 3 years and got it on 1 of those sidewalk blowout sales for $50... run it in tandem with my big compressor ( 4hp peak HF 10 gallon compressor ) all the time.. airs up tires quick when used alone, great for airbrushing...
|i have one of those small campbell hausfield compressors from wally world.i use it when i'm outside my shop.it airs up tires just fine.little slow on my f250,65psi.i have had it for 8 years,and has maybe 2 gal tank. paid 50.bucks cdn for it.my shop compressor just to big to move around.
|4 Jaw Chuck
I have a 2HP (yea I know its a peak rating) Campbell Hausfeld, bought it 5 years ago. It is oiless and is quite portable and easy to move.
Everyone I spoke with said they were junk and I shouldn't waste my money. To date it has 1000 hrs on it and all of that time has been in my shed where is has been rained on and run in -40C weather in the winter.
The only mod I made was to put an industrial sized water separator on it, it has performed flawlessly and has never blown my 15A breaker once. It still pumps up to 130PSI and with the 100ft hose I run into the house I use it all the time for air brushing models and using a blow gun to clean electronics etc.
I paid $150 CDN for it and since it has not required one minute of my attention I consider it a great buy. The only real issue is it is extremely noisy, I have considered making a little insulated doghouse for it with an external switch and an external hose reel.
If this thing ever wears out I will buy another immediately to replace it, it has filled more tires and popped more beads and painted more toys/models than I care to mention...I've also dragged it across more gravel driveways and stuck it my trunk dozens of times to the racetrack (where 120VAC 15A service is all you get in the pits).
Worth every penny I say, here is a pic of the 2009 model...mine is minus the fancy shrouds and front wheels but is mechanically the same.
That is very interesting. I guess I am going to mosey on over to HF and see what they have at the store.
On the website I saw one compressor where the frame was the air tank. I thought that was cool.
|Yes mine is a bit heavy but manageable. They also have the 1/3hp pancake type that weigh much less. Don't be afraid of them - pumps are made by the same Chinese outfit making them for all the name brand ones and mine has a USA made motor. Good as any. The De Laval 5hp comp I have had even longer has had a new reed valve many years ago and just last month the motor burned up. But that was a Westinghouse so can't blame that on the Chinese. The 6hp replacement I bought from HF is also a US made motor and cost half what I could find one locally for.
Well I had not even looked at the HF compressors.. I thought they might be junk.. That is pretty impressive that you have been using yours for that long.
That one is 50lbs.. I am thinking half that weight.. I will see what else they have.
There is also a Senco I am looking at.. It is one gal. 20lbs with an aluminum tank.
Walmart sells a cambel haulfeild.. (I will never know how to spell that!) for like $50. I don't know if I would trust that at all. It is only 15lbs. Probably would have a hard time airing up a tire.
|I have a Harbor Freight $89 one (got mine on sale, normal price is $99) that I have been using and abusing for at least 5 or 6 years. I use it mainly for my air hammers during construction. Perfect for the uses you describe. Puts out a respectable 3cfm.
Do you have a small lightweight compressor?
I have been wanting to buy a small lightweight air compressor for a while now.. Sometimes I need portable air and my 5 gal. air tank is nice, but does not always do the job.
Do any of you guys have small lightweight compressors that are worth a dang?
I know its a bit strange.. Normally we are talking CFM and bigger is better, but I am not talking about painting or blasting.. Just airing up tires or maybe taking off a few lug nuts when I can't take the big compressor.

ESPN - LeBoss: James signs Ginn to marketing contract - NBA
How did he get the little dungarees guy to sign a contract.
LBJ does try to become the next MJ. Won't work.
I haven't heard anything about Lebron's baseball skills (not that Michael had a lot of them. LOL) , though I am sure Lebron plays some golf.
He probably does.
Even Charles Barkley is reported to play golf........James has gotta be better than Charles on the links.............
Could be, but remember it is D. Wade that is now in Sir Charles "Fav 5"

Thanks so much for your comments..

Notably, this one also by ramyb, rejected because it was too similar to this.
ramy's Mayflower Mayhem was clearly executed much better, but it was still rejected due to similarities.
Food for thought.
I totally understand that different people can have the same idea when it comes to a particular theme, hence the reason why I didn't scream bloody murder when I saw your design and run quickly to tattle. People are to busy trying to get their designs done and posted, rather than checking the derby constantly to see if anyone else had a similar idea. It is only those who purposefully see someone else's idea and "copy" it that pose a problem. But even then, if they can feel good at night knowing they did that, well then fate will intervine at some point.

Well if theres enough demand for it, moving it is no problem by me. I was actuallly considering having it in the upper right corner of the shirt but didn't want to do that again cuz I did that last derby.
I do like the subtle coloring, and the blockiness... very nice.

Not something created in a visual commications class, etc.

ESPNU/IL Live Chat
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - UMass used a stout defensive performance over the second half to secure a 6-4 victory at No. 16 Lehigh during the ESPNU Game of the Week on Wednesday evening. Senior attack Will Manny earned a trio of goals, including the game-winner, to pace the offense while the Minutemen held the Mountain Hawks to only one tally in the final half to claim the win.
Senior attack Kyle Smith notched a multi-point performance on a goal and assist while freshman attack Dan Muller and sophomore attack Grant Whiteway earned one mark each. Senior Jake Smith led the defense with four groundballs and a career-high four caused turnovers while junior midfielder Joe Calvello won 8-of-14 faceoffs, including seven of the final 10.
Lehigh (5-4 overall) notched a pair of goals to open scoring in the contest before Kyle Smith recorded the first UMass tally of the day to cut the deficit in half. Smith cut from behind the cage and placed a shot into the top-left corner with 4:21 to play in the first.
UMass (4-4) clamped down over the remainder of the quarter to keep Lehigh to a pair of a tallies in the first, including stifling a non-releasable penalty in the final minutes. After Ryan Izzo was called for an illegal check, the Minutemen limited the Mountain Hawks to one off-target attempt while the man-up scoring opportunity ended when junior James Fahey intercepted a pass attempt by Alan Henderson.
Muller equalized the contest at two during the first minute of the second quarter. Muller drove toward the right post and shot low into the left side at the 14:18 mark, the freshman midfielder's fourth goal of the season.
Lehigh rallied with a goal from Henderson to take a 3-2 lead before the Minutemen closed out the half with a pair of tallies to earn a 4-3 halftime lead. Sophomore midfielder Brendan Schroeder earned his first collegiate assist as UMass evened the score at 3-3 with 11:39 left. Schroeder sent a pass to Whiteway at the left of the net, with Whiteway reaching out to place an attempt by goalie Matt Poillon.
The Minutemen went ahead on Manny's first goal of the day with 3:21 to play in the second. Junior midfielder Matt Whippen started the play behind the net and sent a pass to Kyle Smith in front. Smith moved the ball to the crease on a pass to Manny, with the Massapequa, N.Y., native notching the tally on a shot at the front of the cage.
UMass doubled its lead in the third quarter on Manny's second consecutive tally. Senior midfielder Colin Fleming fired an on-target attempt that was stopped in front and looped over the cage to Manny. The senior attack snagged the ball out of the air, wrapped around the right post and shot into left side with 6:08 remaining in the quarter.
Manny added his third of the game to complete the hat trick with 5:06 remaining. Whippen held the play behind the net and fired a pass to Manny at the right post, with Manny sending a shot into the top-left for the 6-4 advantage.
Lehigh led in shots, 24-23 and groundballs, 28-26 while both squads finished 0-for-1 on man-up situations. The Minutemen forced the Mountain Hawks into 19 turnovers while committing 17. UMass redshirt-freshman goalie Zach Oliveri finished with nine saves while Poillon turned aside 13 attempts for Lehigh.
UMass returns to action on Saturday, March 23, with a 7 p.m. contest at Hartford.

|Tethering her to you to teach it once she understands the word, to proof, will help. I would do wait, down, back, and maybe even use a ladder and some other things on the ground to get a little more refinement in her body awareness/fine motor stuff. Silly girl.
How about teaching her a "wait" command. " wait" meaning, she stops whatever she is doing and does not move forward until you give the go ahead. Your sister can give her the command before going in to a room, once settled she can call Jade to her.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Need help with one aspect of our rescue Jade's behavior...
An old lady needs help here...
We have two rescue GSDs, and Jade is our female. She lived the first 5 years of her life as a brood bitch, sometimes in the house, locked away in a room when she was in because she was DA, so she never really learned good house manners. Her major problems that most people would need help with, we are handling fine. She has one habit, though, that I have never encountered in an adult dog, so I need some advice here.
If you are walking through a room, she will suddenly dash in front of you, and it's easy to trip over her. Sometimes she is so close she can tangle her feet with yours, and I have nearly gone down. Even at my age, I am strong and have a good core, so she hasn't put me down yet (take it back--she did twice in the deep snow during the winter, too much snow to get hurt, lol), but I care for my sister, who has a medley of health issues, no core strength at all, and we have to be particularly careful of Jade around her. Jade is not meaning harm, she just doesn't know any better. Any advice on making her more conscious of where she's going in relation to where we're walking? It has become a real safety issue for my sister.

Bina Agarwal on Women's Role in ConservationIn early December, nations met for another round of climate talks in Cancún, Mexico, where a joint initiative was launched to make women more integral to the process known by the acronym REDD, which aims to compensate developing countries for protecting forests. NEWSWEEK's Katie Baker and Tania Barnes spoke with noted Indian economist Bina Agarwal on how women are central to global conservation efforts. Excerpts:
Empowering Women and Saving the EnvironmentLast year, in the run-up to Copenhagen's climate summit, UNDP head and former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark outlined how climate change will disproportionately affect the world's poor. "Receding forests, expanding deserts, changing rainfall patterns, and rising sea levels will trap people in hardship," she wrote.

The Cult of Celebrity Is as Old as Humanity ItselfA wildly entertaining new book by former Daily Telegraph literary editor Tom Payne suggests that our celebrity culture has rather old roots.
Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Madonna: History and FameIn his book "Fame," Tom Payne explores how our current celebrity obsession is in fact quite old, drawing parallels between the ancient Greeks and Romans and tabloid staples such as Britney Spears, Kate Winslet, and Princess Diana. Megastars like Lady Gaga, he argues, are elevated to the status of demigods—but we demand sacrifices from them in return.
Patti Stanger: Seven New Rules for the First DateSome 40 million Americans use online dating services, and just under half the country is single. That's a lot of awkward first dates. Finding Mr. or Ms. Right is like shopping for a winter coat on Amazon. If it doesn't work out, you can just send it back, and there are hundreds of replacements just a click away.
Memoirs of the VeilThe meaning of the veil for women in Muslim societies has been much debated in the West. Is it, as European backers of its ban would argue, a symbol of repression? Or is it a political statement—a "rejection of the Western lifestyle," as Ayaan Hirsi Ali has written? Two new memoirs by Western women tackle the issue from an insider's vantage point.
'My Formerly Hot Life: Dispatches From Just the Other Side of Young'A few years ago, all-around hot chick Stephanie Dolgoff started to notice salespeople in trendy boutiques, the ones who "used to swirl around me like bees over a puddle of orange soda," no longer bothered to pitch her skinny jeans and spiky heels. Life was otherwise swell--good job, great husband, beautiful kids, loving friends--but she'd become, in her own estimation, "Formerly Hot."
Why Do Some Nations Have Lower IQ Scores?Global differences in intelligence is a sensitive topic, long fraught with controversy and still tinged by the disgraceful taint of pseudosciences such as craniometry that strove to prove the white "race" as the most clever of them all. But recent data, perplexingly, has indeed shown cognitive ability to be higher in some countries than in others.
The Last Living Slut: Born in Iran, Bred BackstageThe publisher is marketing this memoir as "the rock and roll version of The Satanic Verses." What's so scandalous? In addition to the expected drugs-and-sex debauchery, Last Living Slut, for starters, makes a mockery of the author's natal religion. This is the groupie tell-all gone disastrously wrong.
The Woman Who Fell From the SkyTo most Westerners, Yemen is little more than another faraway terrorist haven. But Jennifer Steil's memoir about taking the reins of a local newspaper—and seducing a British diplomat in the process—delivers an interesting, and at times inspiring, tale.
Anti-US Trade Deals Grow During RecessionLast month, Latin American nations proposed a new regional bloc--excluding the U.S. and Canada--to serve as an alternative to the Washington-dominated Organization of American States. Predictably, the leaders of Venezuela and Bolivia praised the step as an emancipation from U.S. "imperialism." But even moderate players such as Brazil and Mexico seemed to agree that the region's interests--especially its trade interests--might benefit from fewer ties to its big, recession-plagued neighbor to the north. Latin America is hardly alone in this epiphany. Asia has long toyed with the idea of a trade bloc, but for years the notion was hampered by Japanese and Chinese infighting, as well as Tokyo's and Seoul's eagerness to forge stronger ties to the American market. But experts say the recession has made Asia realize it can no longer rely on the U.S. to consume its exports. To counteract declining trade volume with the U.S., China and others have started engaging...
Asia Still Set for Robust GrowthAs the global financial downturn drags on, some investors have started to question the pre-recession storyline of robust BRIC growth. Analysts like Morgan Stanley's Ruchir Sharma are predicting that inflation will throw cold water on emerging-market recoveries; others, such as emerging-market fund manager Mark Mobius, claim that cracks within the BRICs will soon develop. Mobius recently declared, for instance, that Brazil's economy will be "more sustainable" than China's because of resource self-sufficiency.But a new study from Capital Economics suggests that, despite these hurdles, it's still going to be an Asian century. While the U.S. and Europe are expected to slog through a meager 3 percent and 1.5 percent GDP growth this year, respectively, emerging Asia's GDP is set to surge 8 percent on average in 2010 and 6 percent in 2011. Not surprisingly, the rebound will be led by China--slated to grow 10 percent in 2010--followed closely by India (8.5...
Japan Doesn't Get itOne of the most striking turns in the fall of Toyota is how the recall scandal is playing with much of the Japanese public: as a bewildering American frenzy. Yes, they are concerned about the recall, but many assume Americans must have some malign reason for kicking up a fuss, when in fact recalls happen all the time. Some read the recommendation from U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to Toyota drivers--"stop driving them"--as proof of a Japan-bashing Washington conspiracy. They are quick to point out that the faulty brake pedals were actually made in Indiana, not Japan. And until very recently, at least, they seemed convinced that the frenzy would fade away without lasting damage to Japan. Look at BMW: its 2008 recall of 200,000 cars for possible airbag failure left no marks on Germany's engineering reputation....
Seoul Kicks Off Its Year of DesignSeoul has long been known for its daring, innovative business culture, but the look of the place, which was drab and generic, never matched this ambition. Now 2010 may be the year that changes. In early February the city is set to unveil the first of three artificial floating islands on the Han River that will serve as host to the Seoul International Business Advisory Council and the G20 meetings this fall. The $83 million project is the latest step in Mayor Oh Se-hoon's initiative to reshape the city and turn it into a mecca for design talent, all in time for Seoul's tenure as World Design Capital. The city beat out notable rivals such as Singapore and Dubai for the biennial title--unanimously bestowed by a jury at the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID)--and will celebrate the honor with a slate of competitions, and exhibitions culminating in a 21-day design Olympiad in September and October. ...
Chinese See Environment As Biggest Security ThreatWhat does China see as its greatest threat? Beijing may finger the U.S., but a new poll of Chinese public opinion shows that people on the ground are more worried about the environment and domestic woes than geopolitical enemies.Conducted by the Lowy Institute for International Policy and the MacArthur Foundation, the study found that three quarters of Chinese pointed to environmental problems such as climate change as a major threat to China's security, while 67 percent cited water and food shortages, and 58 percent said internal separatists. Only half of respondents thought the U.S. posed a security threat, and 45 percent still worried about Japan (though the survey indicated that would change if Japan were to acquire nuclear weapons). The other big regional players—India, Russia, and South Korea—were seen as relatively negligible risks.Still, there is one area where foreign governments worry the Chinese: sovereign investment. Close to 80 percent opposed the idea of a Japanese...

Italy Scores Poorly On World Gender Gap ReportThanks to the antics of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi--his excursions with escorts, his insistence that beauty queens be included in his Parliament, his description of his country as a land of "beautiful secretaries"--Italy's getting slammed often these days for its culture of chauvinism. Now, the World Economic Forum's annual Gender Gap Report gives heft to those accusations. This year, Italy places a dismal number 79 (out of 134 ) on the ranking of nations by gender equality, falling five places from 2008. By contrast, the rest of Europe scored well: Scandinavian countries took the first four spots again this year, and eight other European nations placed in the top 20. Even Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan bested Italy, by 32 and 21 places, respectively. ...
Foreign Oil May Be Next Target of Iraq's ViolenceBombings in Baghdad last week--the latest in a spate of deadly attacks around the country--spell trouble for Iraq's tenuous peace. For now, the resurgent violence has been aimed mainly at government ministries. But some worry that the next target could be foreign oil companies--a move that would be disastrous for the country's economic development. A recent memo from PFC Energy warned that a new round of civil violence in Iraq could "seek to target international oil companies." So far, foreign oil has been a negligible presence in the country, says PFC analyst Raad Alkadiri. But an uptick in visits from oil executives earlier this year suggests that companies are starting to cautiously venture into Iraq. Now oil companies represent an increasingly high-profile target, and an attack on them would be a significant coup against the central government, which is looking to oil production to fill its coffers and prop up its power. Alkadiri draws the parallel with...

Arsène Wenger is confident his side will challenge for the title this season - and says they are well ahead of last summer's preparations.
Wenger has already signed established internationals Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla, and watched his side finish their pre-season schedule with a 4-0 win over FC Cologne on Sunday.
Arsenal recovered after a difficult start to finish third last season and Wenger believes they have the same desire to fight for honours this time around.
"We are in a much stronger position now because last summer we lost Nasri and Fabregas, and on top of that we lost Diaby and Wilshere [to injury]," he told Arsenal Player. "So we lost four players at the start of last season and that is not the case this time.
"We want to [compete for honours] and we have a desire to. We are up for it and what we want is to come out of the season and know we have given our best. I feel we did that last year, finishing third with the start we had.
"The first target is to do as well as we can in every single game and see where we stand at the end of the season. But of course we want to fight for the championship."
Watch the full interview with the boss on Arsenal Player.

Great price. Great service.
Very impressed with this place. I was quoted half the price compared to what other garages were quoting me. The lads that dealt with me knew exactly what they were doing and filled me with confidence. My job requires a couple of extra parts to complete the job but rather than just doing it they called me to make sure it was ok. There was an engine management light on my car aswell and they even ran a fault scan and rest the light without charge. Great experience, will definitely use them again!

Fresh Budget Fights Brewing
Markets Breathe Sigh of Relief After Fiscal Clash, but Tax-and-Cut Battles Loom
The completion of a tax deal between the White House and Congress sent stocks soaring Wednesday, but the sense of relief belied the fact that more tax-and-spending brinkmanship is expected as soon as February.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shot up 308.41 points, or 2.35%, to close at 13412.55—its best day in more than a year—on top of Monday's preholiday gain of 1.3%.
In Washington, the mood was distinctly less ebullient....

Biologist: Moose on decline, but not on verge of disappearing
By BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Union Leader | September 02. 2013 9:25PM
New Hampshire Fish and Game's Kristine Rines isn't about to give up on moose, even though they're tormented by ticks, trucks, brain worm and the weather. (COURTESY)
The health of the state's moose has been a steady topic of conversation for several years. The discussion always gathers steam as the annual October moose hunt, begun in 1988, approaches.In a presentation with Rines, Fish and Game administrators last week distributed a lengthy statement that sought to cover the spectrum of issues related to moose.
That was a factor in helping state officials determine how may tickets to make available for the moose-hunt lottery.
From 1996 to 2002, the number of moose killed by vehicles in the state each year ranged from 225 to 265. It's now about 170, she said."We've gone from 675 permits to 275 permits issued in 2012-13. While we won't know until this fall how the population is faring as a result of this most recent permit reduction, current information suggests that New Hampshire's moose population may continue to decline in some regions," Rines said. "We will continue to monitor our moose population closely; if it keeps declining, we will reduce permits accordingly in an effort to maintain moose on our landscape."
"In New Hampshire, our winters are growing shorter, snow arrives later and melts earlier," said Rines, who in the past year pointed to a sharp increase in ticks found on moose, from a five-figure number per animal to more than 150,000 in some cases.
Minnesota has ended its moose hunt due to declining herd populations, and Rines said Maine, as well as other states, Nova Scotia, Canadian provinces on the southern edge of moose range have all seen drops in moose counts, similar to those in the Granite State.

So.....were you NOT aiming at the orange dot? Otherwise, nice group and a sharp looking gun.
This is my new toy shes a keeper for dure.
There is something to be said for consistency. The gun is a pretty thing, no kidding.
i havent touched the sights on it, i am going to next week, i wanted to see what it would first.
that's a great group however it shows that he needs a lot of practice - that is not due to the gun sights - those fingers are making him pull each shot
lol - i have the same problem so i am getting a 22 to be able to afford a lot of practice to cure and make those fingers stay put -
hidet you are right on that and yes a 22 to practice with does make a difference, my problem is i only have one muscle left in my upper right arm, anything you can suggest would be helpful.
Adjusted the rear sight a bit to the right to see if would help, everything is good so far.
That is a good looking piece there. I read a couple of articles on that gun and it got good reviews. Usually, when Ruger builds somthing, they build it tank-tuff.
I think this weapon and the Ruger LCP9 will be my next handgun purchases.
Good luck finding one of these, they are still hard to find......JJ
I live in Round Rock TX and I bought a SR1911 from a local range and gun store; Red,s Indoor Range in Pflugerville. I have had it about 2 months and since I bought it they have had two more I was able to get for friends. The price was $626.99 a very fair price for such a fine pistol. I have shot about 500 rounds and it works perfectly and is very accurate and very well made. This has become my favorite pistol. If you can find one buy it, I don,t think you could do any better if you spent another 500.00 to 700.00 dollars.
I have a Ruger SR and have had the same problem. Got about a thousand rounds thru it so far. Practice, practice, practice will help correct that. Real sweet gun though, A good purchase, no regrets at allruger.jpgtarget.jpg

Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the throughput is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. The passenger can face a penalty as high as $7,500.00. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.

Using the latest Cisco QuickVPN, my Windows 7, 64 bit laptop processes the QuickVPN connection to the point where the laptop attempts to ping the router and verify the connection. Those pings fail.
Windows firewall is ON and IPSEC is started on the laptop. I have tried Kaspersky's firewall both enabled and disabled with no change.
I see from searching the Internet and this site that there are a number of frustrated people who have had this same, or a similar, problem. Someone must have figured it out by now. Please share. I will be most grateful.

Women's Basketball Holds Strong for 69-67 Win over Wright State
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – In a second half that saw the lead exchange hands six times with one tie, the Green Bay women's basketball defense stepped up big in the final seconds as the Phoenix squeaked by Wright State with a 69-67 triumph on Saturday afternoon at the Kress Center.
The win improved Green Bay to 10-7 overall and 3-2 in the Horizon League, while Wright State dropped to 15-6 overall and 4-2 in the conference. It also kept the Phoenix slate clean in home games against the Raiders, improving to 27-0. Green Bay sophomore Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) posted her fourth 20+ point performances in five Horizon League games finishing with 23 points, while senior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) continued her strong play against the Raiders with a career-high 18 points. Ranger now has 10 or more points in each of the last three games against Wright State.
Green Bay started the second half with a three point lead (33-30) before Wright State's Ivory James tied the game as she collected an offensive rebound and put up a three point shot 30 seconds into the second stanza. A Ranger layup put the Phoenix back in the lead on the next possession, and Green Bay held on to at least a two point advantage all the way to the 12:35 mark (45-43).
Turnovers on the next two Phoenix possessions gave Wright State an opportunity to take the lead, as second half star Kim Demmings connected on a three to give the visitors their first lead of the contest, 46-45, with 11:21 on the clock. The lead exchanged hands five more times over the next 2:33 before a layup by junior Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) put the Phoenix ahead for good, 51-50, with 8:48 remaining.
The Phoenix then proceeded to go on a 10-2 run over the next 3:36 to tie its largest lead of the contest at nine points (61-52). Kaili Lukan put up back-to-back layups and sophomore Taylor Thomas (Wausau, Wis.) stepped up with a big layup and-1 under the basket to swing momentum in favor of the Phoenix before sophomore Ellen Edison (Maple Grove, Minn.) closed the run with a three.
Green Bay maintained that lead all the way to the 4:02 mark when it owned a 65-56 advantage on the scoreboard. However, Wright State charged back into the game with a 10-3 run to get to within a point, 68-67, with 53 seconds remaining to set up the late game dramatics.
On the next possession, Kaili Lukan missed the second of a pair of free throws, and the Raiders Tayler Stanton came up with the defensive rebound. Traveling to the other end of the court, James' three went off target for Wright State, and freshman Tesha Buck (Red Wing, Minn.) grabbed the big rebound under the basket for the Phoenix, and she then found Megan Lukan at midcourt on the break, where she was fouled with 14 seconds remaining. Lukan missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Demmings came up with the rebound for Wright State giving them an opportunity for a last-minute shot.
The Phoenix defense stood strong, as a Kaili Lukan steal helped second tick off the clock, but she quickly turned it over again to put the ball in the hands of the hot-shooting Demmings, who's last-minute shot attempt fell short of the win, preserving the two-point victory for the Phoenix.
It was a streaky first half for the Phoenix who scored the first points of the game and maintained that lead throughout despite several challenges from Wright State. Kaili Lukan netted the first two field goals of the contest for the Phoenix, and Green Bay held on to the advantage going up by one (7-6) with 17:46 on the clock.
Green Bay then went on an 8-0 run over the next 2:39 to assume its largest lead of the half, 15-6, receiving a layup from Kaili Lukan and back-to-back three pointers by Buck. The Raiders pulled back to within three (19-16) with 6:05 remaining but another run by the Phoenix, this time 6-0, put the lead back at nine points (25-16) with 4:22 showing.
Hot shooting from deep drew the Raiders back to within two points with just over two minutes left (27-25) as the visitors were able to put up threes on three consecutive possessions. However, another 6-0 Green Bay run gave the home team an eight point lead, 33-25, at 1:01. But the Raiders registered the final five points of the half, all from Ivory James, as the Phoenix lead was cut to three, 33-30, at the break.
Green Bay recorded its second-consecutive game of shooting 50 percent or better from the field and having 20 or more assists, finishing the game at 50.9 percent (27-53) from the field with 20 assists on 27 baksets. The Phoenix outscored the Raiders 44-18 in the paint and was able to overcome 13 Wright State steals and 19 forced turnovers. Rebounds finished even at 40 apiece.
Buck had a great all-around performance for the Phoenix, finishing with a career-high eight rebounds in addition to nine points and five assists. Megan Lukan added seven points, seven rebounds and five assists.
Demmings led the Raiders with a game-high 24 points, with 21 of those coming in the second half. James added 22 points, and Tayler Stanton had a game-best 16 rebounds.
Green Bay returns to the court for a tough stretch next week, playing three games in five days. The swing starts with a contest at Oakland on Thursday at 6 p.m.

Wojciech Szczesny is a tough act to follow - but Reice Charles-Cook is determined to emulate his Polish team-mate one day.
The confident 18-year-old shares many of the characteristics of Arsenal's No 1 and built on his handful of appearances for the Under-18s in the 2010/11 campaign with a full season in the youth team last season.
Reice has progressed through the ranks from the Hale End Academy, his shot-stopping and excellent reflexes catching the eye. He did enough to make the reserves squad on several occasions during 2011/12 and has since signed professional terms with the Club.
With Damian Martinez also impressing for the second string, Szczesny has his work cut out to remain first choice if Charles-Cook and the Argentine can fulfill their early potential.
"Wojciech Szczesny has come through the academy and other teams' managers are now calling him world class, and he is. I want to follow in his footsteps and play for the Arsenal first team one day. We have a lot of top goalkeepers here and the way it is in football is that there is only one position we can play in and so players move on, but if I look around the leagues, including the Premier League and Scottish Leagues, former Arsenal academy players are making good careers up and down the country."
Reice has a reputation for reflex saves - and the one to deny Coventry's Jonson Clarke-Harris ranks highly. The visiting striker's header looked destined for the net until the the young goalkeeper's flying save diverted it onto the post.

Your Question: Why do scientists study animal poo?
Poo is truly fascinating stuff. Each deposit contains a minefield of information about its owner and the environment it lives in.
Animal poos (scats) come in a multitude of different shapes and sizes. Each species produces its own unique parcels. You can therefore discover which species are present in an area (and how abundant they are) by looking at what they leave behind.

The relative size of a deposit can also give you an idea of the age/size of he/she who dunnit. Sometimes, it's even possible to determine the sex and reproductive receptivity of the animal (by the smell).
The condition of the scat (taking recent weather conditions into account) will tell you how recently the animal was there – if it's still fragrant and sticky, you know you're fresh on the trail.
An animal's poo can also reveal the diet of the depositor. Long-term studies of scats can provide information about how animals' diets change over time and the seasonal abundance of their food sources.

The scats of carnivorous (meat-eating) animals can be an invaluable source of information about the presence and abundance of their prey species. Fur, teeth and bones are not usually digested as they pass through the digestive system and come out relatively intact. As foxes and owls are far better at finding small animals than we are, scats can contain crucial records for scientists studying endangered species.

Poo is also a useful indicator of animal health. Scats contain parasites, hormones and DNA (in the animal's own skin and hair cells). Scientists can therefore use the clues in poos to monitor infections, perform genetic analyses and gather information on stress levels and reproductive state, all without touching or even seeing the animal.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 304
Hello Andrew (and everyone else). If you're thinking of publishing something between a book and a zine it might be worth looking at a one-shot zine I did called Publish and Be Published which is a how-to guide to the process I went thru putting out a novel in zine form. P and BP's out of print now but I've archived it at http://zinemonger.blogspot.com .Hope it helps.I'm thinking of publishing some books that will in reality be very thick zines so I'm want to know too!
