All The News Fit To Omit. The Oregonian Another Dying Tabloid To Celebrate It's Coming Obiturary.

Fun Facts About the Oregonian Newspaper: Not About the Lost Art of Investigative Reporting Lex Loeb, Yahoo Contributor Network . The Newspaper Business is not what it used to be. Newspapers have recently lost their edge due to online content, craigslist and a variety of competing forces including lower advertising revenues. Newspapers became huge cash cow profit centers when Cities across the country began to loose competing newspapers in cut throat competition between rivals that left a single major monopoly paper in many large towns and cities. S I Newhouse was an early pioneer in creating a national chain of monopolistic papers. The Oregonian is one of many. Today the Newhouse family fortune , is estimated at 20 to 30 billion dollars. It includes a large number of familiar publications, cable television interests, magazine publishing, real estate and more and more. The company is private and does not report to public shareholders so My estimates of 20 to 30 billion may be higher than it really is. Only the Newhouse heirs know for sure what their net worth is exactly if anyone does. Newhouse assets seem to be higher than those of more recent upstart Rupert Murdock and his family empire. News corp is the Murdock corporation and it is a public corporation so it is possible to have a more precise estimate of their net worth than the Newhouse family. The best way to find the latest figures is to look up the Forbes 400 richest people in America article and see their estimates and better to wait for the 2009 issue that will be more up to date than 2008 numbers. S. I newhous was a pioneer in the Newpspaer Chain business.

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego Great for Bike Riders, Walking and Running with Scenic River Views Lex Loeb Contributor Network . Lake Oswego does not like to advertise some of its best attractions for fear of attracting non-locals. The area has many interesting treasures almost no one from the Portland area bothers to explore. Lake Oswego has long had the cache' of an upper middle class white Anglo Saxon enclave that does not want the company of everyone from the Portland Metro Area coming in. One can't blame the present day city for trying to protect itself against crowds of non local strangers using their public facilities. Anyone who has been to lake Oswego actual lake knows it is a privately owned body of water that does not welcome the public access in anyway. That is not true of the Oswego Furnace Tower in George Rogers Park or Old River Drive that connects to the park's main pathway up along the Willamette river front. Along most of Old River drive the fro

Vines are the Most Intelligent of Plants.

 Ever seen Boston Ivy covering the walls at Ivy League colleges?   That could make them the most intelligent of plants. Vines train themselves to cover territories and structures. They don't just grow toward the sun they find their way to spread their leaves with trial and error until they cover wide areas that satisfy their demands for light and exposure.  Some have tendrils that find a way to spiral around things to rise off the ground and follow the pathways they can take advantage of.  If i was designing an artificial intelligence app or algorithm I would think about vines and how they deal with their environmental factors.    Most plants do also have this ability to grow with a kind of logic, especially the roots which will grow to seek water and nutrients.  Some tropical plants have ariel roots that can seem intelligent too in finding sources of water and nutrients and taking advantage at a considerable distance. If one root becomes disconnected these plants can send out a ne
