A dairy operation in Kewaunee County is going to get bigger.
Dairy cooperative Agropur announced that it's going to invest more than $100 million in its cheesemaking plant in the Town of Montpelier to increase production and meet growing demand.
The expansion of the plant at 2915 County Highway AB will include a new 120,000 square foot building and will increase milk processing by 250 percent.
Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation executive director Jennifer Brown calls the news an "economic shot in the arm."
Brown says the announcement represents an important commitment to the Kewaunee County economy, to retaining and adding high-paying jobs, and to the dairy industry.
Brown says the expansion will mean the addition of five to 10 jobs. She says starting wages at the plant, including benefits, are about $50,000 a year.
Company officials say the project will also improve the technology of the whey processing facility and the wastewater treatment system. Work is expected to be completed by 2014.

Imagine a giant concrete geodesic floating house. think of a giant bouy?
What would happen if you made a forum in the correct triangular specifications out of steel with hinge pins to disassemble after casting.
laid them on flat ground with a piece of plastic tarp on the bottom to keep the concrete form sticking.
when cast and setup unpin the metal frame and you would have a perfect shaped concrete geodesic triangle.
Cast each so its like 12-24″ thick.
devise a method of pinning one to the next.
Say your dome was 50′ diameter struts on a 3v triangle would be about 13′ to 15′ so your triangle essenialy is a large flat slab.
Place the 1st one in the wateraround 15-20′ deep on the bottom of the harbor, then bring the nect one in place and pin it in etc with a crane until you get 1/2 spehre
Put some caulking in any joints on the outside of the sphere then pump the water out that is in the inside, voilia you now have a floating 1/2 sphere.
Make rooms in the bottom with concrete walls all acting to brace the structure and a flat concrete deck and a hatch to go below.
Make the whole top a large greenhouse or shade area, pipe frame geodesic shell wrapped in plexiglasss, tarps or whatever.
Or continue to complete the whole concrete sphere with the bottom weighted much more than the top so it will always bob UP
I'm serious, What do ya all think?

If you want to be taken seriously, I suggest you express yourself clearly and use correct grammar, spelling and punctuation. I'm sure your idea is interesting but it's very difficult to make heads or tails of what you're saying.August 16, 2011 at 9:52 pm #14674
I understand what you are trying to describe…a "prefab" sphere that will be constructed in much the same way as a geodesic dome home. It is not a bad idea but just imagine all the sealling you will have to do. Take a look at concrete domes http://www.monolithic.com/ , the air form and basalt construction ideas are amazing. Hard to transport (of course they did not design these to be moved) but amazing. Further more you will not have to make these 12-24 inches thick. One of the blog members, Ellmer, already has a company constructing concrete subs http://www.concretesubmarine.com/ and he has said 5-6 inches is fine.
Take everything said here with large grain of salt.

The benefit of using prefab concrete geodesic facets is that they can be cast in a controlled environment with a mix that's precisely controlled. Include fly ash or other ultra-fine power amendments to fill every last airspace inside and it becomes high-performance concrete, impervious to water. But yeah, you'll have to use some fierce adhesive to assemble them. They should use a spline to align them one to another. Once assembled, an epoxy coating should be added on the outside to improve hydrodynamic performance. (read: help prevent barnacle buildup.) Also, I would recomment using ample fiber reinforcement rather than steel rebar. Concrete fails most when the metal inside corrodes and expands. Since the sphere is going to be underwater for the most part, the compressive pressure should be ample to keep the thing in shape.
Think about how much water a concrete sphere would have to displace to get bouyant. I'm bettering most of the sphere would be under water. The dock/pier would be on the roof. Also think about orientation. A nice, round sphere doesn't inherently have a preferred orientation. Without considerable engineering to place the heavy engineering equipment in the bottom of the sphere, it can get fun in a storm.
I've done some design work with freaquency 5 icosahedral spheres with an internal diameter of 20 meters, but I want to put mine underground rather than underwater.

Hey Paul, those that cant do nit pick. It seems others have been able to figur eout want my intentions were…
Thanks JTG, I was thiniking 12/24″ as you need allot of weight to displace seawater to sink the craft enough to make it stable (IMHO) see the math later and with a 3v dome the caulking lines would each be 13-15′ long not that many triangles in a sphere when the triaangles have 13-15 foot base sides.
I really love monolithics stuff but the problem remains is how to inexpensively manufacture and assemble on site, trying to make a sphere with a balloon, I cannto imagine how I would go about simply constructing it.
I will have a look at the subs soon… thanks.
Ellen, good comments thank you, yes prefab panels can be made of exacting specifications, agreed, no steel For structural reinforcement I like PVA fiber as it acutally bonds with concrete and can even let it flex some, this has been proven in bridge span sections, no rust issues at all. Actually makes a bond that is stronger than concrete for each fiber. I have bought some of their fiber to play with http://www.kuraray-am.com/pvaf/index.php Nothing like a good epoxy coating when done either.
My Math
Vol of 50 diam sphere 65416.667 cu' Vol of 48 diam sphere 57876.48 cu' Subtract to find volume of concrete in a 50′ outside diam concrete sphere and weight.
= 7540.187 cu' /27 = 279.266 yards concrete approx 3500 lbs yard = 977,431 lbs
1 cu' of regular water = 62.426 lbs and seawater weighs more.
The whole sphere would displace 65416.667 cu' * 62.426 lbs = 4,083,700.854 over 4 million lbs of water and yet weigh around 1 million. So a full concrete sphere 1′ thick would only be submerged about 25% leaving 75% above the water line. Even if you made it 2′ thick it would still be less than ½ submerged.
This is why I say take the bottom ½ of a 50′ sphere for concrete compartments for storage, bedrooms, kitchen, office living rooms and the top ½ greenhouse and other open space with some natural lighting. This would make the lower ½ heavier and make it self righting… even put another 250k lbs of ballast in the bottom like sand/dirt/rocks.
As for linking the geodesic pannels, I was thinking a stainless pin / bolt latch. or somhow designing a keyway, grove or locking teeth of some sort.
No glueing of panels together, bolted, pinned, compression fittings. Just get them within 1/3 of an inch and fill the gap with a rubberized caulk, with the whole dome even fully submerged it would only need to stand up to 25 PSI from the surrounding water pressure at 50′ deep.
Concrete of the quality we are talking about is in the 4,000-5,000 PSI compression rating so 12″ is way overkill.August 17, 2011 at 10:59 pm #14732
Not addressing your math regarding relative densities and volume of displacement, something struck me as hinky about your statement about 25% of the sphere below the waterline.
Volume of sphere.
Vsphere = 4/3 Pi r3
Volume of spherical cap.
Vcap = Pi h2 (3r – h) / 3
At what value of h is exactly ¼ of the volume of the sphere in a spherical cap?
1/4 Vsphere = Vcap
1/4 (4/3 Pi r3) = Pi h2 (3r – h) / 3
1//3 Pi r3 = Pi r h2 – Pi h3/ 3
r3 = 3 r h2 – h3
We can express the value of h in terms of r as h = pr, where p is a proportion on the interval (0, 1).
r3 = 3 r (p r)2 – (p r)3
r3 = 3 p2r3 – p3r3
1 = 3p2 – p3
3p2 – p3 – 1 = 0
p3 – 3p2+ 1 = 0
Solving for p by way of Wolfram Alpha yields three possible solutions, only one of which is in the needed interval, p = 0.652704. So, a sphere that is bouyant when 25% of its volume displaces water will float with 65.2704% of its radius under water, or 32.6352% of its diameter. With your 50′ sphere, you would have a draft of 16.3176 feet or just under 16 feet, 3 13/16 inches. If only 25% of the diameter were below the waterline, the draft would be 12 feet, 6 inches, a difference of almost 3 feet, 10 inches. For an error of 30.6…67%.

You mentioned your geodesic facets being 13-15 meters on a side. You realize you can't transport that on a public thoroughfare, right? That's why I chose a frequency 5 instead of a frequency 3 for my 20 meter spheres. Breaking the icosahedral facets up into smaller pieces means you can just fork-truck them onto a flatbed and haul `em from the factory to where ever you're gonna assemble them.
I don't see bow-tie splines being viable. Once you get any distance into the assembly process, it becomes impossible to slide the bow-tie into place laterally. A straight spline, on the other hand, will always be able to be inserted when putting any two triangular facets together… except the last one. But then, there's no real use for a complete geodesic sphere. As you said, it's gotta be able to be interlocked with other identical spheres, and there has to be entrances and egresses, windows, large windows for hydroponic green houses, etc., so there will always be a last facet that doesn't need to be put in place. Several, actually.
As for your desire for an affirmative connection, you can always mould bolt flanges into the interior edges of the facets so that after they're fitted together with the spline and sealant, you can shove some 1″ bolts through the holes and spinning a nut onto the other end. Torque them to spec and nothing on Heaven or Earth will be able to separate them.

Because there will be superstructures.
Because there will be a need to link-up and move about between vessels. Think of connecting each individual structure together to form a community and all the anncillary structures that will be built in this community. Because no one will ever be able to do this alone and with only one "personal" living space.
Because there will be the need to produce, catch and store potable water. Think of reseviors. Think of reverse osmosis water makers. Think of large catch trays or condensation equipment. Because it would be unsustainable otherwise.
Because there will be a need to produce food stuff. Think of aquacultureal platforms. Think of growing plankton and mussels. Think of artificial upwells, produced on demand with "oceanic living equipment, of the nutrient rich waters from the bottom of the ocean to produce vast quantities of zoo and photoplankton to feed fish or lure them. Because it would be unsustainable, from a finacial and practical stand point, otherwise.
Because there will be a need to produce energy. Think of the weight of enough generators (alternative fuel, solar, wind, and wave) to create a high enough standard of living to induce people to abandon thier "natural" way of life (and do not kid yourselves, living on the water will be fairly unnatural until we have been doing if for quite awhile (psycologically and emotionally)). Think of the need provide reliable and strong methods of remote communication (not to mention all the anncillary structures that this will require), and to run compressors and such for filling scuba tanks to perform underwater work. Because it would be unsustainable, from a finacial and practical stand point, otherwise.
Because there will be a need to store alot extra equipment which will act as "balast" in quite a few number of forms. From batteries for back up, to food storage, to emergency equipment and spare parts. Because it would be unsustainable otherwise.
And a ton of other NEEDS that I have most likely forgotten or not thought of…
The methods of construction matter. The decision on these things is not something to be rushed. This is not an easy or cheap undertaking. If it were, it would be done already.
I have thought quite abit about this and have decided that I am not an engineer. Yall sound alot closer to it than me… but to really do this I think that it will take more than numbers on paper. It will take practical application. I would love to see a "prefab/modular" building method employeed for a number of practical reasons but I dont let this blind me to reality. If it is impossible, can you cope?

JTGAugust 18, 2011 at 6:03 pm #14774
I dont believe I ever said meters, I measure in the US format in inches feet and yards, there seems to have been a misunderstanding.
As for 25% being hinkey, according the the approximations I gave it is appropiate 25% of the volume will be displaces, not nesscerailly 25% of the structure, as we were talking about pounds.
What about the nearly 50% statement, that is better approximation, if the structure wall increased to 2 feet then the overall structure would come in just under 2 million pounds APPROX and if the structure had a total displacement of 4 million pounds then it would be phisically 1/2 submerged APPROX.
My numbers are and should be considered guesstimated until real architect or engineer has time to look things over, I am not an architect or an engineer, just a dreamer trying to dream up a way to make a virtually unsinkable ship / vessel etc…
I once read someplace that "Noah a common layperson gave us the Ark and engineers gave us the unsinkable titanic"
So can anyone offer positive help with an idea how to construct the system, like geodesic triangles or even a soccerball patchwork design I dont know what that is called.
Help me understand the dynamics involvedAugust 18, 2011 at 8:54 pm #14780
Just from looking at them the domes made with pentagons look more structurally sound to my eyes. It's akin to the reason bricks in a brick wall are usually staggered. i don't know how to describe it better than that.
You might want to check out your local library and see if Buckminster Fuller has written anything about the dynamics and construction of domes, which are what he was most famous for.August 18, 2011 at 8:57 pm #14781
Welcome to the forum, Ellen Re-Generate!August 19, 2011 at 12:56 am #14788
Hey Ellen thanks, you could have just said your about right the 50′ dome 2′ thick would be ABOUT 50% submerged.
When we are talking in millions of pounds I dont think a few feet either way makes much difference on the intitial idea.
On to more construction ideas
What about digging a making a lock type system doors closed pump out the water, make a sand mould in the shape of a 1/2 sphere then gunnite in the concrete just like a swimming pool, then flood the area with water to float it out the lock.
now you have a 1/2 structure ready to have the top added on
Making a concrete hull in a sphere and then conventional geodesic pipeframe over the top covered in white boat type shrinkwrap and clear windows strategically placed.
Back to a monolithic 1′ thickness and next to no weight on the top
can you tell me the draft? I admit I dont know how to even figure out all that.
Anothe rthing, I wonder how close to the ocean or beach you could dig a hole with an escavator, before it started filling up with water? if you put some gravel on the bottom and sand, you could bury a sump pump to keep it relatively dry, line the hole with plastic tarp and spray concrete away. When done flood the hole outside the structure with water it would float up, then dig a small canal to the ocean, beach, river. possibly even kinda roll it out of its hole with a bulldozer and wobble its way into the water.
I am serious, I have some $$ saved up and am tired of dealing with property zoning and planning people locally and there are NO regulations on building your own private boat in the USA other than having appropiate life vests and fire estinguishers. Id love to live in somehting like this in the sanfrancisco bay! put a 10 HP outboard on it and go slowly anywhere you want at displacement speeds, not planning speeds, a slow put put put… just thinking outloud.
Use mabye 150 cu yards of concrete, concrete here can come in a 8-9 yard truck, and a pump spray system goes pretty fast. 150 yards at $150 a yard $30k for a pretty impressive hull?August 19, 2011 at 3:35 am #14796
The problem I see with that is that there would really be no way to prevent the inclusion, into the gunnite mix, of sea salts. That would form voids as submersion in the ocean leeched them back out. Also, don't forget, if you're making your own drydock, to add in the costs of building it. If it's going to have concrete walls, that's $$$. And it will need oceanside locks holding back a height of water at high tide at least as tall as your draft plus clearances. Far better to find a commercial drydock and rent it for the time you need to construct it, fill it with clean sand to form into the lower hemisphere. Of course, commercial drydock time = $$$$$$$$$.
Also note that that calculation was for an empty shell. Add a bunch of internal structure for floors and walls and engines and appliances and batteries and furniture and food and water stores… that stuff adds up faster than you think, and pretty soon, you're gonna be roughly where I said a couple of days ago, a concrete sphere ship mostly under water, with only about a floor's worth above the surface, and in a good storm, expect to be more submarine than surface ship after all.
As for your design of concrete sphere on the bottom and plastic coated pipe-frame on top, you would have to figure for the weight of the frame and covering, which I have no references for how much of each a 50 ft. dome would take, and add that to the weight of just a hemisphere, and you would have to keep the finished product's waterline well down from the hemisphere's equator, p = [0,0.75).

Volume of sphere: Vsphere = 4/3 Pi r3
Volume of spherical cap:Vcap = Pi h2 (3r – h) / 3
Volume of spherical shell: Vshell = 4/3 Pi (o3– i3)
Density of High Performance Concrete: ρHPC ≈ 2250 kg/m3
< https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Properties_of_concrete>
(Actually, not. I estimated 2250 from a research article. Proper value would be 2400 or higher.)
Density of air at sealevel: ρair ≈ 1.22521 kg/m3
< https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Density_of_air>
Density of surface seawater: ρwater ≈ 1024 kg/m3
< https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Density_of_water#Density_of_saltwater_and_ice>
I've been considering a 20 meter interior diameter shell 15 cm thick.
rshell = 10.15 m
t = 0.15 m
The shell will float in water when the weight of a volume of water displaced equals the over all weight of the shell.
Wshell = Wdisp
W = Vρ
Vvphere ρsphere = Vcap ρwater
But ρsphere is composed of many things, the shell itself, the air inside it, people, and ultimately any equipment installed. For the moment, let's just assume a hollow shell. Not a huge leap, since these calculations are intended to apply to geodesic spheres, not true spheres.
Vshell ρHPC + Vinterior ρair = Vcap ρwater
4/3 Pi (o3 – i3) ρHPC + 4/3 Pi i3 ρair = Pi h2 (3o – h) / 3 ρwater
Solve for h.
4 (o3 – i3) ρHPC + 4 i3 ρair = h2 (3o – h) ρwater
4 ((o3 – i3) ρHPC + i3 ρair ) / ρwater = 3o h2 – h3
h3 – 3o h2 + 4 ((o3 – i3) ρHPC + i3 ρair ) / ρwater = 0
At this point, it's beneficial to revert back to standard variables for (outer) radius, use the variable t for the thickness of the shell, and express h in terms of r as h = pr, where p is the proportion of radius underwater on the interval [0,2). p = 0 would mean the entire sphere is supported by a single mathematical point on the surface of the water. p = 1 means the sphere will float with its equator as the waterline. p = 2 means the sphere will be neutrally buoyant at the surface. p > 2 means the shell will be negatively buoyant and will sink.
o = r
i = r – t
h = pr
(pr)3 – 3r(pr)2 + 4 ((r3 – (r – t)3) ρHPC + (r – t)3 ρair) / ρwater = 0
p3r3 – 3p2r3 + 4 ((r3 – (r – t)3) ρHPC + (r – t)3 ρair) / ρwater = 0
p3 – 3p2 + 4 ((r3 – (r – t)3) ρHPC + (r – t)3 ρair) / (r3 ρwater) = 0
Now, plugging in values for all known variables. For clarity, no units will be shown.
p3 – 3p2 + 4 ((10.153 – (10.15 – 0.15)3) 2250 + (10.15 – 0.15)3 1.22521) / (10.153 1024) = 0
p3 – 3p2 + 4 ((1046 – 103) 2250 + 103 1.22521) / (1046 * 1024) = 0
p3 – 3p2 + 4 (45.68 * 2250 + 1.225.21) /1071000 = 0
p3 – 3p2 + 4 (102800 + 1.225.21) /1071000 = 0
p3 – 3p2 + 4 (104000 /1071000) = 0
p3 – 3p2 + 4 (0.0971) = 0
p3 – 3p2 + 0.3885 = 0
Solving for p via Wolfram Alpha, yields three solutions, only one of which is in the expected interval, p = 0.3855. So, such a hollow shell will float in the ocean with 38.55% of its radius below the waterline, or 3.943 m.
I was once thinking of casting huge facets, 1.1 m thick to create my 20 m diameter geodesic concrete spheres. Quickly reworking the calculations for rshell = 11.1 m, t = 1.1 m, finds p = 1.123, meaning such a thick walled sphere would float with its equator 1.361 m underwater, or 7.539 m above the water, with a draft of 12.46 m.
Doing the math for a 50 ft. outer diameter shell 2 ft. thick yields p = 0.98 or a draft of 7.49 m or about 24 ft 7 inches. The equator would be just 5 inches above the waterline. The shell would effectively be half in/half out.
These calculations are being done via this script, called waterline.bc, for the standard UNIX "binary calculator", bc.
scale = 9 r = 10.15 /* outer radius, meters */ t = 0.15 /* shell thickness, meters */ h = 2400 /* density of HPC, kg/m^3 */ a = 1.22521 /* density of air at sealevel, kg/m^3 */ w = 1024 /* density of seawater, kg/m^3 */ define c() { return 4*((r^3 - (r - t)^3)*h + (r - t)^3*a)/(r^3 * w) } define p() { print "solve for p: p^3 - 3 p^2 + ", c(), " = 0n" } p()
It is invoked as `bc waterline.bc`, whereupon it'll vomit up the results for the example I started with above. To rework the calculations, just enter new values for the variables you want to change and call p() again. The equation it spits out can be copy-pasted into WolframAlpha < http://www.WolframAlpha.com/>. One response is going to be negative, and another will be over 2. Ignore those. The third result is the value of p. Multiply p by the value you used for r, and that will tell you what your waterline is.
If anyone has better values for the densities, I'm happy to know them.
Of course, once you're accounting for the interior structure, this equation and script will have to be completely reworked.

choose a geodesic dome for a hull? Nothing special about it,…And why build it 2 feet thick when even 5 inches is too much? I don't get it.

I once read an article that said in our society you'd be shamed if you said you don't like reading, but it's socially acceptable to say you're not a math person. It's so true.
I really appreciate the point about malleable intelligence. Especially as kids move on to middle and high school and have to tackle algebra and calculus, you see this idea of not being genetically born as "good at math" really taking root. And then you hit those weed-out college classes and kids turn away from being math (or any kind of STEM major)--they convince themselves that they're not good at math, but they're good at art history!
Alejandro Cabrera
Totally agree with this article, everybody can learn mathematics, actually is a must. Mathematics is the language of nature, is part of our human intelligence. There are only excuses to not think.

I work everyday in my English classroom to defeat the "I am not a Math person" mentality. For whatever reason, students will readily admit to this in English class without any prompting. I then try as I might walk them through how we all use math every day. If I can, I'll even squeeze some Carol Dweck Growth Mindset knowledge into that days discussion.

I just now resolved to stop saying "I"m not a math person" (or: "I was an English major").

Page published: 8 March 2011
A PhD student from Bournemouth University (BU) has been invited to present his ongoing research into sports tourism events to the South African Parliament.
Brendon Knott presented his work at the Tourism Summit for the Tourism Portfolio Committee of the South African Parliament in March.
The presentation was based on the current MPhil/PhD study that Brendon is undertaking through the School of Tourism with Professor Alan Fyall and Dr Ian Jones.
The presentation, entitled 'The nation-branding legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and implications for future sport tourism events', highlighted the importance of sport and mega-events as a nation branding platform and he presented selected findings from surveys conducted among international sport tourists to South Africa during the World Cup in June/July 2010.
Brendon's presentation also gave the committee recommendations on the use of future mega-events, other smaller and home-grown events, as well as other sport platforms (such as teams and venues) that could be used to leverage the nation-branding impact of the 2010 event for the country.
The session chair noted that it was a 'powerful' presentation and it led to a lively discussion on the importance of nation-branding within tourism. The discussion group highlighted the need for greater collaboration and co-ordination between government departments as the responsibility for nation-branding is a shared one.
Brendon said: "It was a privilege to be invited to speak at the Summit, especially to policy and decision-makers within the tourism industry, and they made me feel very welcome. I really appreciated the lively and intelligent discussion that followed my presentation. The chairman indicated that the nation-branding imperative would be placed on the agenda for further discussion by the Department of Tourism and a recommendation would be made for this discussion to include other departments that are also key brand stakeholders.
"Following my presentation, the Minister of Tourism made a public release of tourism figures for the past year. The highly positive figures further emphasised the tourism impact and legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup for South Africa."

Council caps campaign contributions at $500
June 2, 2009
By Warren Kagarise
New city campaign finance rules went into effect June 1 — just as candidates began filing to run for mayor and four City Council seats.With the start of campaign season two weeks away, the City Council voted May 18 to limit campaign contributions to $500 from a single party. The cap includes both cash and in-kind donations in the total. The legislation sets the first city campaign finance rules for Issaquah.
Council members ended months of debate about the measure with their decision. Before the 5-1 vote, Councilman Joshua Schaer noted the importance of dollars for candidates seeking office. He said fewer hurdles exist for candidates flush with campaign cash.
"Reaching voters is very important," he said. "You can send out more mailers, you can put up more signs — though I wish people wouldn't — and you can do a lot more things with money in the bank."
Proponents said they hoped the limit would broaden the ranks of people seeking public office.
"We all have to reach the same number of people, and I think this helps level the playing field," Council President Maureen McCarry said.
Councilwoman Eileen Barber, who cast the dissenting vote, said the bill amounted to excessive and unnecessary regulation. As council members considered the bill during the last several weeks, she raised questions about creating additional regulations. Barber outlined her concerns during the debate before the vote.
"I want to once again express my concerns about implementing excess regulation, in my opinion, as a preventative measure," she said. "We've not outlined any identifiable concerns or problems that we've had by any member of this particular council or previous councils in regards to campaign contributions."
Schaer said the campaign finance bill was one of the most divisive issues he had encountered as a council member — at least among his colleagues.
"Surprisingly, for being this divisive in my mind, we've had very minimal public feedback," he said.
Though Schaer voted in favor of the measure, he said he shared some of Barber's reservations about the bill. He said officials could later tweak the ordinance if provisions were not a good fit.
"I believe it's worth a shot and I'll be supporting it," he said.
Councilman John Rittenhouse, the main proponent of the legislation, did not attend the meeting due to illness.
Councilman Fred Butler said he did not receive any e-mail from constituents about the finance bill.
"I'm amazed at the amount of time and effort that has gone into this also, addressing a non problem," he said.
As the bill wended through committee meetings, council members also weighed the influence of money from advocacy and political groups on municipal races. During the 2005 election, the King County Republican Party donated heavily to City Council candidates — including Barber — though the council posts are nonpartisan.
Proponents also noted how donors could contribute more to a council candidate than they could give to a presidential candidate. Federal campaign donations are capped at $2,400.
The bill added language to the city code about the cap and enforcement against violations. The new ordinance will be enforced by complaint in a way similar to how other city code violations are brought to attention and addressed. City Code Compliance Officer Michele Forkner will be responsible for responding to complaints.
Candidates in past elections were required to follow guidelines set by the King County Board of Ethics and the state Public Disclosure Commission.
Seats held by Barber, McCarry, Rittenhouse and Councilman David Kappler are open in the coming election. Barber and McCarry have announced their intention to seek re-election.

Silence Therapeutics entered into a collaboration with AstraZeneca primarily in the respiratory field that could be worth up to GBP 200 million, or approximately $400 million, plus royalties.
The three-year R&D deal involves the discovery and development of siRNA molecules against up to five AstraZeneca targets. The firms will collaborate in the early phase of identification and optimization. AstraZeneca retains full responsibility for clinical development and commercialization. The agreement could be extended into other disease areas of interest to AstraZeneca.
In addition, Silence Therapeutics will provide AstraZeneca with a license to its siRNA technology in return for an initial access fee of GBP 7.5 million, comprising GBP 2.5 million in cash plus an equity investment of GBP 5 million. AstraZeneca thus will hold 2.94% of the total voting rights of Silence Therapeutics.

Groups aim to garner support for climate change initiatives through lobster
Published Date Written by Craig LyonsA new soldier has been enlisted to fight climate change: the Maine lobster.
An informational campaign that launched Tuesday is using Maine's favorite crustaceans as the poster child to show the impact of excessive carbon emissions on the world's oceans. The "Help Maine Lobsters Stay Cool" campaign is being spearheaded by the Natural Resources Council of Maine, with support from the Maine Lobster Promotions Council, the Maine Restaurant Association, the National Wildlife Federation, the University of Maine and lobster-related businesses.
The campaign is designed to remind people about how important lobsters are to Maine's economy, said Emmie Theberge, clean energy outreach coordinator for the Natural Resources Council of Maine, and what the ocean-dwellers mean to the state's culture and identity. She said climate change, manifested through ocean warming and acidification, threatens Maine's lobster.
"It is therefore vital that Mainers come together to support national efforts to reduce carbon pollution while it is still possible to reduce this threat significantly," she said.
The effects of climate change resulting from carbon emissions include not only warming temperatures in the air and water, Theberge said, but damaging ocean habitats and wildlife. She said carbon pollution isn't just warming the atmosphere but being absorbed into the water — which higher acid levels could damage sea creatures with calcium shells, like lobsters.
President Obama last week rolled out his policy plans to address climate change, which includes limiting carbon emissions, investing in energy efficiency measures and supporting renewable energy development.
Theberge said power plants create 40 percent of the carbon pollution, and that's why it's important to support the president's policies to cut those emissions.
Rick Wahle, a professor at the University of Maine Darling Marine Center, said lobsters are on two sides of the climate change issue. In southern New England, lobster populations are suffering from warm temperatures and diseases, he said, but northern New England has benefited from a growth in numbers because of warming temperatures that are more favorable for lobsters.
"I don't want to paint too rosy a picture for the Gulf of Maine," he said, because enemies of the lobster population, whether new predators, biological stresses or diseases, could come into play.
Carbon emissions are directly linked to rising ocean temperatures because of the greenhouse gas effect, Wahle said, but more study is needed to see how to deal with acidification of the water.
"The emissions choices that we make now will effect how fast climate change will happen," he said.
John Ready, a co-owner of Ready Seafood Co., said the effects of warming ocean temperatures on lobsters is already being seen in the Gulf of Maine, and if the trend continues, the crustaceans could seek out deeper, colder water or migrate east. He said it's in the best interest of fisherman, harvesters, sellers and processors to maintain a healthy environment for Maine's lobsters.
"... Many Mainers who make living from sea have their futures at stake," said Richard Grotton, executive director of the Maine Restaurant Association. He said Maine has a tourism based economy, and the health of the lobster population affects retailers, fisherman, restaurants and the whole hospitality industry.
Theberge said climate change is beginning to impact Maine, and the state loves and depends on lobsters.
"We need to take further action to reduce carbon pollution," she said.

Afterparty Sugar Free
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 8/23/2013 10:49 AM
Afterparty is a hydration and recovery beverage that comes in sugar-free and "original" (with sugar) formulations. However, both varieties contain stevia, which can definitely be detected in each product. That said, the sugar-free variety seems like the clear winner -- if you're going to taste stevia why have any calories at all? And honestly, the flavor differences between the two are pretty negligible. Both varieties have a pleasant tasting flavor that we'd describe as "citrus berry." While it's not an energy drink, it's very much an energy drink-like flavor, especially when you factor in the bite from the finish. That said, the biggest issue for this product is one of identity and positioning, especially as it relates to the energy drink category. Having both visual and flavor similarities to that category is a challenge, as evidenced by the lack of real success in the "after" or "hangover" categories. In addition, using "after" and "party" seems like something that typecasts the drink into exactly that space, despite the marketer saying that it's a "premium hydration drink." This limited use occassion is ultimately what remains in the way of this -- or any product in this space -- from having real breakout success. Overall, we like the flavor and the design, but the positioning of the product is something that we question.

money management and lifestyle adjustments among debt-laden families striving to reach their
financial goals.

His lively and personable coaching style fosters open communication and financial accountability between spouses. And through unique coaching methods and proprietary online tools, he provides his clients a monthly step-by-step cash flow map for setting and achieving measurable, progressive goals toward a long term financial plan.

Agamenticus/Tatnic Hills
Over 7,000 acres of land in the Mount Agamenticus
area are owned by private and public agencies,
which manage the land for conservation and watershed
protection while continuing a commitment to public
recreational opportunities.
The unfragmented forests around Mount A provide
important habitat for wildlife. Moose, White-tailed
Deer, Black Bear, and Fisher live in these protected
forests. Many species, like the Chestnut Oak and
Shagbark Hickory trees, reach the northern limit
of their range. Rare species of plants include
Wild Leek, Large Beak-Rush, Feather Foil, Atlantic
White Cedar, and Black Gum. Rare animals include
Spotted and Blanding's Turtles, Black Racer
Snake, Swamp Darter (a small fish), and the Ringed
Boghaunter Dragonfly.
A vernal pool is a low spot that fills with rain
and snowmelt in the spring, then dries up during
the summer. They are a unique wetland habitat,
and are critically important breeding places for
specially adapted animals such as the Spotted
Salamander, Blue-spotted Salamander, Wood Frog
and Fairy Shrimp. Many other creatures like Caddisflies,
Dragonflies, the Rare Blandings and Spotted Turtles,
also rely on vernal pools for food and shelter
at different times during their life cycle.
Mt. A is famous as one of Maine's favorite
hawk-watching sites. Each fall, thousands of migrating
hawks, including Peregrine Falcons, Bald Eagles,
Osprey and the Northern Goshawk, are viewed from
the summit. On a day in early October with strong
northwest winds, hundreds of raptors may fly over
the mountain in just a few hours..

Social Media Image
Is it the real you, the witty you, the person who reads the most interesting articles, makes the adventurous trips and always has great pictures of him or herself? I think we tend to edit our lives on social media to fit the image of the offline world, where everybody seems happy and pretty thanks to editing, directing and in some cases a large dose of photoshop. But who sees what's really going on?
For some women that was the reason to participate in the real real-life soap Connected (Ned.3). Five women documented their lives for a few months. The rules? There is no décor, no director and the women are not allowed to watch the tapes back and delete parts they don't like. What you see is women like they are. When they just woke up, have a bad hair day, have arguments, feel depressed or lonely and when they have no clue what their lives are about.

Serve the shrimp over rice and garnish it with fennel.
Shrimp and bacon -- two splurge items in my house, the former for the cost, the latter for the calories -- come together for an indulgent-tasting dish.
Wanting something fun and special for a night in, I picked up a pound of the biggest shrimp offered at the store's fish counter. The superplump crustaceans would be treat enough themselves, but I wanted more. The answer: Sauté the beauties in bacon fat.
Using just a little bacon, at about 70 calories and 6 grams of fat per slice, ...

David Kahn, whose Timberwolves lost their season opener 117-116 to Sacramento on Wednesday night, expects his team to contend for a playoff spot next season.
"To get to the upper echelon of the league might take a little longer," the Wolves' president said.
Kahn's revamped Wolves certainly were more entertaining to watch against Sacramento than they were last season, when they won just 15 of 82 games.
"We'll be significantly better this season," Kahn said. "I know a cynic would say, 'They have to be.' "
Kahn, who is in his second season overseeing the Wolves' operation, has the NBA's youngest team, averaging 22.8 years.
"Jonny Flynn would be a senior at Syracuse this year, Michael Beasley a senior at Kansas State, Kevin Love a senior at UCLA," Kahn said. "We have to be patient now, but we also need to recognize that people want to see progress. They want to see that this will work in time.
"That's what's important about this season, showing the public that there's a collection of talent here — that, if you stick with it, it will work."
Kahn won't project the Wolves' number of victories this season because so much depends on healthy players, and Flynn (hip surgery) and Martell Webster (back surgery) aren't expected to return for at least a month. But he does expect his team, if healthy, to win at least 25 games.
Former Gophers football coach Murray Warmath, who turns 98 on Dec. 26, had a nice visit with pal Joe Paterno when the longtime Penn State coach, 83, was in town to defeat Minnesota last weekend.
By the way, Warmath, who in July was told he had just a few days to live, has gained 32 pounds and is up to 182 after developing an appetite for McDonald's hamburgers, fries and Cokes. Warmath plans to attend Saturday's game against Ohio State in Minneapolis.
Among the 119 rostered Buckeyes football players, 75 are from Ohio. Among the Gophers' 118 players, 57 are from Minnesota.

Wetzel's free-agent contract, by the way, was for two years totaling $35,000.

Ex-Gopher Tommy Becker had 14 tackles, a blocked point-after kick and a big interception for the University of St. Thomas in its 10-6 football victory over Bethel on Saturday. The Toms (8-0) need one victory in their next two games for a share of their first MIAC championship in 20 years.
Who would you rather have start at QB for the Vikings at New England on Sunday, a 75 percent healthy Brett Favre or a 100 percent Tarvaris Jackson?
Uh-oh: Some of the Twins' top pitching prospects have earned-run averages in the 8.22 to 10.80 range in the Arizona Fall League. David Bromberg is 0-2 with an 8.44; Kyle Waldrop is 0-0 with an 8.22, Carlos Gutierrez is 1-0 with a 10.80. Another, Tyler Robertson, is 0-0 with a 6.43 ERA.
Noticeably absent at the Timberwolves' Target Center opener against Sacramento on Wednesday night was stockbroker Bill Beise, who spends virtually entire games off his courtside seat and on his haunches wildly slapping a program on the floor as if he's a coach encouraging players.
Vikings coach Brad Childress, asked if he thinks QB Brett Favre (fractured foot) will be able to play Sunday: "I wouldn't put it past him."

The Hotel Eddystone and Hotel Park Avenue are familiar sights on the downtown skyline. Once prosperous pasts have led to decay and doubt about their futures. / Diane Weiss/Detroit Free Press
Sure, they may not look like much now.
Two towering, windowless hotels appear to stand in the way of progress, standing in the middle of where Detroits new hockey arena is supposed to go.
But what if, instead of seeing these hulks as problems, we saw them as part of the solution? What if, instead of tearing down even more of Detroits past, we turned them into pieces of the citys future?
The Hotel Eddystone and Hotel Park Avenue are just two of thousands of vacant buildings strewn across Detroits 139 square miles. Theyre rundown. Theyve been scrapped and are marred by graffiti. They represent a once-prosperous Detroit, and a now-downtrodden Detroit.
And the interests convening to build a hockey arena in the area the city, the state and the Ilitch family ought to save them. Both of them.
■ Employment: Detroiters working to get share of Detroit Red Wings arena jobs
■ Related: To help cities like Detroit, Michigan must bring back historic tax credits (guest column)
Sure, its easier to just knock them down. But these two structures that have been towering icons of despair and failure in recent history can now be icons of rebirth and a visionary integration of history and progress.
Amid all the still-to-come details about the new hockey arena are more vague details about a new entertainment district that will spring up next door. Now, Detroits been promised entertainment districts with stadiums in the past. Assuming this one succeeds where others have come up short, youre going to need a place for tourists, visiting hockey teams and tipsy Red Wings fans to stay. You could build some generic cheap hotel, or you can dust off and spruce up something truly special historic landmarks that could be destinations unto themselves. Arenas like the one in Columbus, Ohio, have incorporated residential into them. What hockey fan wouldnt want to stay maybe even live next to their teams arena?
Built in the 1920s, the Eddystone and Park Avenue are architectural tanks. Underneath all that tasteful limestone and irreplaceable architectural detail lie fortresses of steel. If youre an abandoned building in Detroit, you dont live to be 90 years old if youre made of cheap materials and poor craftsmanship. For years, demolition has been the only feasible choice for many abandoned properties in the city. Nobody wanted them. Nobody wanted the land on which they sat. Nobody wanted to look at them.
■ Related: Ilitches to get all revenues from new publicly financed Red Wings arena
■ Related: Detroit Red Wings' new stadium land transfer approved by City Council
But downtown and Midtown are both seeing occupancy rates of about 98%, according to Midtown Inc., many of them in beautiful, historic buildings. The rebirth of once-grand hotels like the Book-Cadillac gets national press coverage. Quicken Loans owner Dan Gilbert is snatching up historic buildings downtown left and right. In fact, Detroit is seeing a slew of its sleeping architectural giants being awakened: the Broderick Tower, the David Whitney Building, the Fort Shelby Hotel, the Federal Reserve, heck, theyre even renovating some of the citys closed schools.
Historic abandoned buildings in Detroit are no longer liabilities they can be assets.
Moreover, the Ilitches should be familiar with the positive press and goodwill that comes from saving a historic landmark. Its been 26 years since they spent $12 million to restore the Fox Theatre and people are still praising them for it. This town loves a good comeback story. Conversely, when the family had the historic Madison-Lenox Hotel razed for a parking lot, there was outrage.
Saving the Park Avenue and the Eddystone is not impossible they are on the National Register of Historic Places, which qualifies them for tax credits that would save millions on the rehab.
Look, nobodys suggesting every abandoned building in the city can or should be saved. In any challenge, its wise to pick your battles. But lets at least have a conversation about what we can and what we should save.
Resurrecting these hotels would be another Fox Theatre or Book-Cadillac success story for Detroit, a city hungry to honor its history and its historic buildings during its reinvention. And the promise of a new arena and entertainment district, and the jobs created through that process, will all play a role in that reinvention.
But beyond that, we have an incredible opportunity to create a truly innovative, inclusive plan that connects Detroits rich history and its promising future.

Two Delta County residents died in a car accident Thursday and an infant was clinging to life Thursday night. The accident happened at noon just outside the town of Austin in Delta County. The Colorado State Patrol reports a car heading north on 2200 Road went directly into the path of a pickup carrying a horse trailer on Highway 92.
The crash killed the driver, a 24-year-old mother, and her 15- year-old sister-in-law. The only survivor from that vehicle was the mothers 17–month-old child who was first airlifted from Delta to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Juntion, then to a Denver hospital.
Sgt. Lawrence Oletski Told 11 News the baby was in very critical condition, Thursday night.
The driver of the pickup was treated and released from the hospital in Delta. An investigation is underway to determine what caused the crash.

text: By CHAD CONANT T-G Sports Writer When T.J. Knowlton got the ball Saturday for Post 88, he knew exactly what he was being asked to do. Pitch well and help stop a slide in danger of getting out of control. He did more than that. Knowlton struck out 10 and walked two in the opening game of a doubleheader sweep that also saw the first signs of an awakening of Harry Higgins Post 88s dormant offense in a 7-2, 8-4 roll past Galion at Ashland Universitys Donges Field. I wanted to go up there and get things rolling, Knowlton said. I went out there with the thought I can help get this started in the right direction. In addition to Knowltons seven strong innings in the opener, Ashland got five strong innings of relief from Ben Kelley in the second game. Beyond the pitching, Post 88 saw its offense break out on a steamy Saturday afternoon. Andrew Spicer homered in both games, hitting one over the center field wall in the opener and landing one on top of the locker room facility over the left- field fence in the second game. Corey Chaffins, who had a pair of singles in the first game, had a triple, double and single in the second. Saturday was a day on which some of the most veteran players in the Post 88 lineup helped get things headed in the right direction. This was a good day for us, Knowlton said. We knew we needed to come out swinging the bats better. Having a day like this certainly helps. The signs of life from the dormant offense came as they normally do for a team breaking a team-wide slump. In the opener, Ashland scored three times in each of the first two innings, then rode Knowltons arm to the win. In the second game, Post 88 fell behind 3-0 after Galion raked the ball around in the second inning. But, as they usually do, the slump broke with a hustle play. After Ashland scored a run in the second when Cory Metcalfs single scored Chaffins after a leadoff double and started the third with Spicers roof-rattler. With two out and Chaffins and Metcalf occupying first and second after singles, catcher Trent Dickerhoof missed a third strike and saw the pitch get away from the Galion catcher. Dickerhoof took off for first and beat the throw by half a step to load the bases for ninth hitter Robby Daniels, who lined the next pitch to left for a two-run single that turned the game on its head for good. Post 88, which tacked on three in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI single from Knowlton and a two-run triple from Chaffins, can only hope the Saturday surge was the start of something grand for a team that has played for a trip to the state tournament in each of the last two seasons. If we can roll this over into the rest of the season, it will be big, Knowlton said. We need to keep hitting like this. If we can hit, it makes everything easier.

I really like the concept of bringing in more technology to learning a new language. There is so much out there tht can be used, even with the younger students. The lesson plan seems like a good start, but it is lacking the detail another person would need to use this plan in their own classroom. For example, under instructional objective, it says to offer more tools to the students, but what specific tools is it talking about? Would a specific tool be used for recalling facts, applying pronciples, or performing (speaking) tasks? What kind of powerpoint presentatins will the teacher create? What is the reasoning behind them? What types of activities are going to need to be scaffolded for the students to be successful?The internet will motivate some students, but what if the student is highly distracted? Will that help or hinder them if they are playing on the internet instead of doing the lessons? What are some of the other pedagogies you will employ to help those students with other types of disabilities?Great start, but I think it can use a bit moe detail for others to be able to use this idea in their own classroom.Technical Remarks:There were no technical issues with this document, however, there were no links to try to open.

This lesson plan gave your readers a good overview of what your classroom looks like on a daily basis. You use various collaboration activities and presentations to motivate student learning on the internet, and you use various assessment tools.My Questions:How do you use UDL strategies to foster student learning?Specifically, how do you scaffold your hearing and/or vision-impaired students?What specific websites do you use for teaching Mandarin Chinese?What specific presentation tools do you allow students to use in your classroom?The design of this lesson plan is easy to follow and gives a clear picture of the framework used in this classroom. However, I would like to hear more about what happens in one specific day. What technologies do students utilize on the Internet? Do they use their required microphones to create voice threads?Technical Remarks:There are no links given on this website to rubrics or resources. The link from MERLOT to the material itself works well on both a PC and a MAC.

Rebel Troopers
Drawn from many homeworlds and species, Rebel troopers were the Alliance's front-line soldiers in the war against the Empire. They defended the Alliance's leaders on countless worlds and during many operations, changing uniforms and tactics to meet each challenge.
Related //
Rebel Alliance
The Rebel Alliance stood bravely against the evil of the Galactic Empire, never backing down despite overwhelming odds. Formed from resistance movements that arose during the Clone Wars, the Rebellion worked in secret for decades to overthrow the Emperor and restore democracy to the galaxy. Eventually, armed with the firepower of ships like the X-wing and A-wing, and the leadership of figures including Princess Leia and Admiral Ackbar, the Rebel Alliance triumphed over the Empire at the Battle of Endor.
Tauntauns are a species of snow lizard found roaming the windswept snow plains of Hoth. The Rebel Alliance domesticated the swift creature during their stay on the ice planet, and used the animals for patrol duties outside Echo Base. The animals came in useful as the Rebel technicians had difficulty adapting their repulsorlift speeders to the subzero temperatures. Though tauntauns are sure-footed and well equipped to handle Hoth's daytime temperature, the chilling extremes of a Hoth night will prove deadly.
Hoth is the sixth planet in the remote system of the same name, and was the site of the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base. It is a world of snow and ice, surrounded by numerous moons, and home to deadly creatures like the wampa.
The Ewoks are sentient furred bipeds native to the moon of Endor. They are curious individuals that stand about one meter tall. They are extremely skilled in forest survival and the construction of primitive technology like gliders and catapults. They are quick learners when exposed to advanced technology, however. The Ewoks accepted members of the Rebel Alliance into their tribe, and allied themselves to their cause. The Ewoks helped in the ground battle to destroy the Imperial shield generator built in their forests, and their primitive weapons felled the stormtroopers and the scout walkers of the Empire. Their help paved the way to victory at the Battle of Endor.
Mon Mothma
A leader of the Galactic Senate's Loyalist faction, Mon Mothma opposed Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's policies during the final days of the Repulic. Working in secret, she helped found the Rebel Alliance, and served as its civilian leader during the long struggle against the Empire.
Han Solo
Smuggler. Scoundrel. Hero. Han Solo, captain of the Millennium Falcon, was one of the great leaders of the Rebel Alliance. He and his co-pilot Chewbacca came to believe in the cause of galactic freedom, joining Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa in the fight against the Empire.
