The daily news is pretty bleak these days, but yesterday we found four Portland-related articles that gave our spirits a lift: There are two new restaurants—one in Sellwood-Moreland and the other in NW District —whose value-priced menus are getting good reviews. Beaumont Middle School offers a unique mentorship program that pairs community members with struggling students—with fantastic results! The "crown jewel" of the Portland skateboard park system is planned for Old Town Chinatown. Yesterday, the City issued a request for proposal for a skateboard park builder and designer. The Community Cycling Center is launching a new project in 2009 to reach underserved communities in North and Northeast Portland. It's great to see new development, new businesses and new community service projects in Portland neighborhoods, don't you think? Read all about it in the links below. photo: daily journal of commerce <a href="http://

Yesterday's news highlights were a tad bittersweet: a touching tribute to the life and times of Genoa (closing on Saturday after 38 years in business), Peacock Lane embraces a new holiday tradition, OMSI announces staff cuts (after sharing its expansion plans over the weekend), and the bike boulevard planned for NE Going Street has received overwhelming resident support. What a difference a little time makes, huh? photo: Oregonian <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" mce_href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" rel="me" title="Visit me on Ma.gnolia">Visit me on Ma.gnolia</a> Check out all of our bookmarks on ma.gnolia

Our intent was to have these bookmarks up this morning, but technology threw us a curveball. Funny, funny. Anyhoo, yesterday we bookmarked five Portland-related topics that we thought you might dig: BikePortland.org has launched its very own online bookstore in partnership with a local bookseller, the US Green Building Council has upgraded its 2009 LEED rating system, Portland-based Shizzow began shouting in San Francisco (add that to your geektionary!), Architect Ben Waechter left his mark on a Northeast Portland neighborhood, and Portland Center Stage questions what role design and technology will play in the future. Follow the links below and read all about it. <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" mce_href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" rel="me" title="Visit me on Ma.gnolia">Visit me on Ma.gnolia</a> Check out all of our bookmarks on ma.gnolia

Tutors, Mentors Needed
by Trace
The Youth Employment Institute is a nonprofit organization in Northeast Portland that provides education, employment and personal development programs for youth. One of our main services is our GED Preparation program which focuses on GED attainment in an alternative school setting. We also provide specialized services for young parents, which include case management services, parenting education and an onsite child care center. Additionally, we offer paid and unpaid work experiences, job readiness training and gang prevention services to the youth in our programs. There are a number of ways community members can get involved in our programs: Academic tutors work with the youth in our GED program.
