Wondering where all those people crowding Alaska salmon streams come from? Everywhere, but especially California, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. An examination of 2003 sport-fishing license sales shows that Californians top the list of nonresident anglers, who have become a dominant force on Alaska salmon streams. Californians bought about 35,000 fishing licenses in 2003, said Fish and Game's Doug Vincent-Lang. Residents of the state of Washington came in second with 30,000. The other states rounding out the top five were, in order, Oregon, Texas and Minnesota.

ANGIE LEVENTIS; The News Tribune
University Place has launched a full-time cable station to inform and educate residents about civic issues. Despite this mission, city officials don't intend to televise complete City Council meetings as part of the programming.
The new station UPTV features shows on city events such as the May grand opening of the Cirque/Bridgeport Way skatepark and the city festival in August. Readerboard messages will alert residents to city meeting schedules as well as weather and traffic emergencies.
Future programs might showcase local businesses or public hearings that allow residents to phone in their opinions.
News 14 Carolina | 24 Hour Local News | TOP STORIES | Hassoun recovers in German hospital
LANDSTUHL, Germany -- A U.S. Marine who resurfaced in Lebanon nearly three weeks after vanishing in Iraq in a reported kidnapping is doing well and recovering at an American military hospital in Germany, a Marine spokesman said Saturday.
Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun "has had a full night's sleep and some breakfast. He's up and awake now, and he has been given telephone cards and access to a phone," said Maj. Tim Keefe, who visited Hassoun on Saturday morning.
Hassoun is expected to remain at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, where he is being debriefed and evaluated by doctors, until early next week, hospital spokeswoman Marie Shaw said.
Storm grounds Beijing flights
Beijing - Flights were canceled and houses collapsed after the Chinese capital Beijing experienced a rainstorm of unusual severity, state media reported on Sunday.
In the course of just a few hours late on Saturday, 73mm of rain hit downtown, forcing traffic to grind to a halt and causing severe congestion in key parts of the city, the Xinhua news agency reported.
As of 21:30, more than 200 flights scheduled for take-off from Beijing International Airport had been delayed, according to reports.
Six houses collapsed, and two people were injured when the freak weather caused an electricity pole to topple, Xinhua said.

Tips for riders
Tips for drivers
Pay close attention to road conditions, especially wet pavement and gravel.
Don't ride two abreast. Stagger positions on either side of the traveling lane.
Be aware of what is around you, especially near parked cars or vehicles turning in front of you.
Wear helmets that cover as much of the head as possible. Stay away from novelty helmets that don't meet minimum state Department of Transportation safety standards. Helmets are required in the state.
Wear protective clothing: long sleeves, a jacket when possible, long pants and boots that cover the ankle.
Wear brightly colored clothing.
After 30 years, update in store for Cincinnati's symbolic heart
For more than 130 years, whenever there is anything worth celebrating -- the end of a world war, welcoming hometown heroes, ringing in a new year, reveling in a World Series championship, even an attempt at a world-record Chicken Dance -- Fountain Square has been where Cincinnatians instinctively flock without being told.
Since the days when Ulysses S. Grant was in the White House, Fountain Square -- even before it was a square -- has been not just the geographic heart of downtown Cincinnati, but also in a very real sense the emotional heart of the region.

More storms forecast for England and Wales
2004/7/9
LONDON, Agencies
Weather forecasters predicted more heavy rains and strong winds across England and Wales for Thursday, a day after a storm left thousands of homes without electricity.
``Much of England and Wales is going to have some more rain,'' said the weather division of the British news agency Press Association.
It forecast that the heaviest rain would fall in northern England before moving southward, and predicted that strong winds and thunder storms would hit south Wales and south west England.
Arrive Alive R23m under budget
Johannesburg - The government's Arrive Alive road safety campaign announced that it operated on R23m below budget.
During this period, the death toll on the country's roads and the number of emergency accidents was the highest in the past four years.
Dr Wendy Watson, spokesperson for Arrive Alive, said this money had been requested for various provincial road safety projects, which never materialised. "This money was earmarked for two periods for example December/January and July."
She said provinces requested the projects, but for various reasons, the projects never materialised.
June swoon
The nation's largest chain stores turned in a relatively weak 2.9 percent increase in June sales at stores open longer than a year, according to a final tally Thursday from the International Council of Shopping Centers.
At Thomson First Call, retailers finished the month 2.8 percent higher, widely missing the average 4.2 percent projection of Wall Street analysts.
Shelby burglar is still on the loose
SHELBY, N.C. -- Authorities in Shelby say they might be close to discovering who is behind a series of home break-ins.
They said the burglar hit nearly a dozen homes in a north Shelby neighborhood, usually stealing money and credit cards.
"It looks like a crime of opportunity," said Lt. Steve Canipe of the Shelby Police Department. "Folks have their windows open because of the heat."
All of the break-ins were similar, leading police to believe one person is behind them.
Henry Lawton said the burglar broke in through his bathroom window.
The suspect would often enter through a window and exit undetected.

OSAGE BEACH, Mo. - A Charlotte man drowned in Lake of the Ozarks on Tuesday, the Missouri Water Patrol said.
Claudio Hernandez, 19, was pronounced dead after Osage Beach fire and rescue divers found his body in 25 feet of water.
State water patrol officials said Hernandez was swimming with three other people shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday when he began having trouble staying afloat. After Hernandez disappeared under the surface, one of the other swimmers dove after him but couldn't find him.
Speed vans added to city streets
Those who are caught speeding by the vans will receive a $50 citation in the mail.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is introducing three Safe Speed vans to Queen City streets.
The vans are equipped with a camera that monitors vehicles' speeds and takes a picture if drivers are exceeding the speed limit.
Officers said that with this new technology, there is no doubt as to who is violating the law.
The vans will be set up along 12 streets designated as high-crash areas.
"It's a lot more accurate," Officer M.C. Cochran said Wednesday. "You're basically pinpointing the vehicle.

JOHN GILLIE; The News Tribune
Construction has quietly resumed on one of the most expensive and contentious public works projects in the history of Puget Sound, the billion-dollar third runway at Sea-Tac Airport.
For the Port of Seattle, Sea-Tac's owner, the construction restart marks an important milestone in a long battle with the airport's neighboring communities. They have spent $13 million and half a dozen years challenging the runway's construction in the courts. A state Supreme Court ruling in May cleared the way for the project's resumption.
But that victory has been expensive in time and money.
No one hurt in S. Tacoma brush fire
MARTHA MODEEN; The News Tribune
A two-alarm brush fire blazed across 4 acres of undeveloped South Tacoma land Wednesday afternoon, drawing dozens of Tacoma firefighters to battle the flames and police to reroute nearby traffic.
No one was hurt. The fire, in an area of trees and brush, was put out within two hours, said Kevin O'Donnal, Tacoma Fire Department deputy marshal.
How the fire started might never be known, O'Donnal said, noting that the department's investigator found several possible causes.
Firefighters worried that warm weather and dry brush could fuel the blaze.
"It's quite a large area that burned," O'Donnal said.

London - England is no stranger to storms with high winds and heavy rain, but central heating in July?
With temperatures set to fall as low as 13 C - well below the early July average - the British Gas company reacted to the storm that struck southern England on Wednesday by putting its winter emergency contingency plan into operation.
That means it is preparing for a surge in demand from people turning on their central heating.
"It's going to be horrendously cool for this time of year, and it will feel even chillier because of the high winds," said the weather division of the British news agency Press Association.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Officials in Charlotte are warning people that unused personal fireworks can be dangerous.
Assistant Fire Marshal Walker Reid suggests that people soak extra fireworks in water before throwing them out.
If they plan on keeping the fireworks, Reid said, "keep them out of a highly heated area like a garage that's sealed up and not getting ventilation. Definitely keep them outside the home."
Reid said that if people are lighting fireworks at a later date, they should have a garden hose handy in case the fireworks do not light properly.

Instant-messaging software has evolved into the latest weapon in a fierce battle among major internet companies to reap revenues off whatever you do, wherever you go online.

Sunshine welcome for those working outside
After a month of near-daily rains that racked up more than 13 inches in June, local businesses and individuals have taken advantage of the holiday sunshine on Monday.
That is people were able to get out and get some work done before a thunderstorm blew into the area in the afternoon.
C.A. "Buck" Vandersteen, executive director of Louisiana Forestry Association, said, "Loggers have been working through the Independence Day holiday, trying get wood to the mills."
Vandersteen said the heavy rainfall in June made the forests too wet for loggers to get their heavy equipment in and out of the woods.

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Then and now: Weighing anchors
San Diego County (population 1.3 million in 1970) was still a quiet place. In the early part of the decade, Interstate 805 opened. State Route 125 from South Bay to Santee, and Highway 52 from Santee to La Jolla weren't yet full-fledged freeways. Poway was a small, sleepy community as Mira Mesa and Tierrasanta came into existence. Fashion Valley mall (where Westgate Park once stood) was in the making.
Downtown San Diego was pockmarked with honky tonk bars, bowling alleys, tattoo parlors and locker clubs where sailors and Marines stored civilian clothing they couldn't wear on base or ships.

More than 1,900 people turned out at Mahoney State Park's water complex to cool off on a hot, muggy Fourth of July.

"We expected 8,000 to 10,000 people to come through for the three-day weekend," Roger Sykes, superintendent at Platte River State Park, said Sunday. "It's a great weekend to be out. The weather is looking good today."
Fourth of July weekend traditionally gives state recreation parks in Nebraska and western Iowa a huge attendance boost.
Missoulian: Let's put our river bridges to work
Speaking of bridges and ballparks, a few suggestions came in after word of the crackdown on enforcing the "no trespassing" signs on the ancient railroad bridge crossing the Clark Fork.
The most unique and great idea: Why not a trolley on those tracks to transport folks to and from ball games? It could run, not only from the north and south sides of the city, but even up the Bitterroot and down from the Flathead, bringing fans or commuters to town. A tiny station could be built near the ball field to unload and load passengers. A fine idea for good publicity for all concerned and to solve traffic problems.

Cadillac Police Sgt. Todd Golnick, who holds a dive certification and is a member of the Wexford-Cadillac Dive Team, said when swimming, people should be aware of the various hazards present.
In a river, the undercurrent is capable of pulling a person underwater. Plus, rivers are murky making it difficult to see boulders, logs or drop-offs.
