Does Portland truly rock? No doubt. Of late, our city’s indie-rock contingent has grabbed more than its share of the spotlight, with accolades pouring in from as far away as Britain. A gushy feature about our mighty music scene that appeared in last April’s London Sunday Times called Portland “a concrete grove of bohem... |
It’s certainly been a momentous year. The Shins and the Decemberists dropped albums that reached respectable heights on the charts and earned critical rhapsodies, while Elliott Smith’s recent posthumous song collection, New Moon , hit Billboard’s No. 24. And in late March, Modest Mouse (at least some of whom live here)... |

Internet marketing giant Blackwood Productions recently launched a ‘Local Search Engine Optimization’ package designed for small- to medium-sized businesses looking to target customers in specific localities. By combining the three pillars of local search—mobile marketing, directory listing, and local search engine opt... |
“Many local businesses have zero online visibility in their own towns. They are losing millions of dollars in revenue because of this,” explains Robert Bibb, CEO of Blackwood Productions. |
Bibb draws up a scenario. “Let’s say you own a dry cleaning store. If someone used Google to search for dry clea |

San Martin region was heavily deforested in the 1980’s as it became a red zone of coca production. With the help of USAID, local farmers switched from coca to cocoa cultivation in the 1990’s. The Fair Trade & Organic cooperative ACOPAGRO was created at that time. |
Launched in 2008, Alto Huayabamba reforestation project was set up with the objective to develop best-class agroforestry systems and ensure the sustainability of the cocoa cultivation model. |
Type: Reforestation / Agroforestery / Carbon (VCS) |
Partner: ACOPAGRO cooperative |
Localization: San Martin region, Amazonia, Peru |
Objectives: Plantation of 2 million trees |
Participants: 2000 fair trade & organic cocoa farmers |

WATERBURY -- A former contractor accused of sexually assaulting a student while working at the Westover School in Middlebury was given three years of probation Tuesday in Waterbury Superior Court. |
Richard DeJesus, 34, was accused of having "inappropriate contact" with a 15-year-old girl while he was working on a sprinkler system at the school in 2009. |
DeJesus entered a plea of no contest to risk of injury to a minor, which means he was convicted of the crime, but didn't admit he was guilty. A prosecutor is no longer pursuing the sexual assault charge as part of a plea deal. |

Haven't posted on here in a while due to the hunting season and school. |
I have had the pleasure of watching a very young in experienced dog grow into a great hunting companion. I truely understand the whole picture of waterfowling now. Last year I was all about finding the ducks and laying the hammer to em. This year I really took a step back and found I love watching a good dog work more ... |
Id like to share one of my most memorable stories of this year: |
Drake and I were hunting in our honey hole, a backwater slough on the Missisippi River. A BWT buzzed the dekes fast and by the time I got up it was about 45 yards took an instinctive quick shot. The duck sailed and e |

Last week was a good week for St. Frances Animal Center. |
Sixty-five dogs and cats were adopted from the Georgetown-based animal shelter. If only that were enough. |
The place is packed full, almost double capacity, and the animal population continues to grow, according to Executive Director Wendy Goude. |
The original St. Frances facility was built in 1951 and was designed to house 150 cats and dogs. Today there are almost 300 animals on the property. |
She said St. Frances takes in about 15 – 18 animals per day in the summertime. Most of them come from rural areas through animal control; St. Frances is the only shelter in the county that’s contracted with the City of Georgetown’s and Georgetown County’s animal control services. |

In St. Andrews head football coach J.J. Plummer's career, he says he's never faced a challenge quite like the one he's undertaking in 2011. |
As Starkville Academy's season-opening opponent, Plummer's Saints come to Starkville for Friday night's 7:30 p.m. affair with virtually a new team from the unit that finished 5-6 overall last year. |
St. Andrews lost nine starters on each side of the ball from last season's club, setting the stage for a host of newcomers to step in and get their first true taste of high school football action this year. |
With that, Plummer says his group is essentially in rebuilding mode. |
"We've got a tremendous coaching staff and we're coaching these kids to the best of our abilities," said Plummer. "But when you're young, you're young, and you just can't make miracles i |

Southwestern College Shines All Summer |
The sun is shining all summer long at Southwestern College. South Bay’s only public institution of higher education is proud to offer over 400 class sections across the college’s four campuses in the South Bay to help students and the community achieve their educational goals. |
Class sections are at a 35% increase from Southwestern’s offering last summer session partly through the tax-payer approved Proposition 30 and the 5% pay reduction all college employees took for the 2012-13 academic year. |
The eight, seven and five-week summer sessions offer a wide range of courses including an extensive number of transferable courses and career development courses. Southwestern College’s range of academic opportunity reaches from the main Chula Vista campus to t |
My friends from New York offered to go with me to South Carolina, expecting a gladiator match I would surely win.

Over at Clemson a hue and cry was being raised from a quickly gathering organization of concerned parents, who had read all the juicy highlights on the Internet. Not only were they calling to have the assignment rescinded, or, at the very least, to have a more appropriate book like To Kill a Mockingbird serve as an alt... |
In Washington, D.C., the federal government will soon take more than three-quarters of a million dollars ($760,000) out of West Virginia's fish, wildlife, and law enforcement programs.

And just what is the media strategy for the tiny, oil-rich territory? |
Ten months after the launch of a billion-dollar film fund designed to put Abu Dhabi on the moviemaking map, insiders in both Hollywood and Abu Dhabi are wondering whether the fund is a reality, and what the media strategy really is for the tiny, oil-rich territory. |
Led by Abu Dhabi Media Company CEO Ed Borgerding, the Imagenation film fund that kicked off at last year’s Toronto Film Festival has announced deals with Participant Media, Hyde Park Entertainment and National Geographic, representing $600 million in film co-financing agreements. |
In an interview with TheWrap, Borgerding said that this had resulted in four movie co-productions, and that others — such as a big-budget adventure picture written and directed by act |

(WIBW) - A burglary suspect who sparked a search in the town of Saint George earlier this week is behind bars. |
The Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office issued a release Friday, saying deputies arrested 29-year-old Christopher Webber of Manhattan Thursday. |
He's accused in four residential burglaries and two car breakins dating back to September 29th. The incidents all happened east of Manhattan and north of Highway 24. |
Authorities say their break in the case came when Webber approached a fifth residence while the homeowner was home. They say the homeowner got his vehicle and tag information and passed it along to authorities. |
A deputy spotted the suspect vehicle Tuesday in the St. George area. By the time the deputy turned around and caught up with the vehicle, the occupants had left it in |
Considering the time lapsed and the changes in the musical landscape since Liars’ most recent album came out, fans of the New York art-punk band could be forgiven for wondering if the group would still have its edge. |
They needn’t have worried. Case in point: The trio’s video for the single “Scissor” (link opens iTunes). Out this week, the video, offered up exclusively to Wired.com, envisions the band members lost at sea (or perhaps just living out their Lost fantasies) and struggling to stay above water. |
It’s an apt metaphor. The track begins with a requiem-esque chant over a loose wash of strings as lead singer Angus Andrew struggles to save his raft from being sunk by a rapidly growing pile of rocks (mounting insecurities, most likely). But as the bombastic chorus kicks in — a triumphant |

The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake struck at 7:16 a.m. PDT on Saturday and was centered about 19 miles northwest of Anchor Point in the Cook Inlet region. |
