phoenix , people are worried about storm

View of Ladakh, India during the monsoon season.
PHOENIX -- A massive dust storm descended on the Phoenix area on Tuesday night, drastically reducing visibility and delaying flights as strong winds toppled trees and caused power outages for thousands of residents in the valley.

Phoenix to see me struggle through explaining how to use Jeremy Likness' Sterling No SQL database in your Silverlight applications.

As always, pizza and greet-up starts at 6PM, followed at 6:30 or whenever everybody rounds up by the meeting which runs until 8PM.

If you're anywhere in the area, come on down... I use Sterling all day in an enterprise app, so hopefully I can explain it to you :)

Phoenix has no uniform set of procedures and policies for outside contracting and the guidelines it has relied on have been kept from both public view and City Council oversight, a situation that critics say could lead to unfairly awarded contracts and the waste of taxpayer dollars.

The nation's sixth-largest city issues hundreds of contracts each year for millions of dollars in goods and services from private companies for everything from copy paper to multimillion-dollar services such as airport-restaurant concessions.

PHOENIX - Some residents in northeast Phoenix are worried about what the monsoon season has in store after their neighborhood was left with plenty of storm debris Tuesday.

Pat Cook could hardly believe the sounds coming from outside her home near 32nd Street and Beardsley Road when the winds and rain of this year's monsoon came roaring overhead.
