Robert Morris University sponsors the annual Robert Morris University sponsors the annual Pittsburgh Speakers Series, seven different lectures on seven evenings at Heinz Hall. Our distinguished speakers share their unique experiences and perspectives on a wide variety of topics, from world affairs and politics to history and the environment, to books and authors, to business and economics, to the arts and entertainment. An exciting question and answer session follows each lecture.
Oct. 14 - John Irving achieved critical and popular acclaim with his 1978 novel The World According to Garp. Several of his 14 novels have been bestsellers, and five have been adapted to film, including The Cider House Rules, The World According to Garp, and The Hotel New Hampshire. Irving won an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay for his script for The Cider House Rules.
Nov. 4 - Dr. Sanjay Gupta is the multiple Emmy Award-winning chief medical correspondent for CNN. Gupta, a practicing neurosurgeon, played an integral role in CNN's reporting on health and medical news for American Morning, Anderson Cooper 360°, and CNN documentaries, as well as anchoring the weekend medical affairs program Sanjay Gupta, MD.
Dec. 2 - Dennis Ross has played a leading role in shaping U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process as the point man for presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

As you may or may not know, the venerable jam band, road juggernaut and all-around goofball virtuosos known as Phish will be celebrating its official 30th anniversary this year.
The band started modestly at a Vermont college in 1983 and built its reputation through endless touring, self-determinism and a desire to elevate the improvisational nature of rock performance bequeathed to them by older bands like the Dead, Traffic, Zappa, and so on. Their fanatical fan-base has only grown over time even as they age along with the band. (All the members are on the cusp of turning 50.)
So, what other bands have celebrated their diamond anniversaries recently, or soon will...? Any others with 30 continuous* years in action...?
[P.S. I'm very aware that the current Phish lineup has existed for all but 2 of those years, but that is it's own milestone, IMO.]
[*How to count hiatuses? In general, I think less than 5 years is a break, not a break-up. Your mileage may vary.]
Here are a few standouts:
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds (recent forum topic)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Flaming Lips
The Tragically Hip
Metallica ('81)
Pet Shop Boys ('82)
Queensryche ('81)
Primus ('84)

Benji binge - 3 local gigs for Hughes
Published: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 8:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 8:49 a.m.
It happens every summer, kind of like Wilmington's version of the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano – if those swallows had bushy beards, long hair and could write killer pop songs.
Who: Benji Hughes
When & where: 8 p.m. doors, 10 p.m. show, Friday and Saturday at the Calico Room, 107 S. Front St., downtown Wilmington; 7-9 p.m. Sunday at the Ocean Grill, 1211 S. Lake Park Blvd., Carolina Beach
Tickets: $8 in advance (available at Gravity Records, the Dixie Grill and the Calico Room), $10 at the door for the Calico Room shows. Ocean Grill show is free.
Details: 762-2091 or www.OceanGrillTiki.
Benji Hughes, the crooner whose wild appearance masks some serious songwriting chops, will be back in the area for three shows this weekend. He'll play downtown Wilmington's Calico Room on Friday and Saturday and wrap things up with an early-evening set at Carolina Beach's Ocean Grill on Sunday.
Hughes, who's from Charlotte but has spent time working in songwriting circles in Los Angeles, is best-known for his 2008 double album "A Love Extreme." The ambitious, wide-ranging project encompassed such subjects as the ups and downs of romance as well as drugged-out concert experiences, and its sonic scope was even more all over the map, from bare-bones piano ballads to spacey synth rock.
In more recent years, Hughes has had his song "Kenny" prominently featured on an episode of "Eastbound and Down"; appeared in a video from actor-turned-country-singer Jeff Bridges (an avowed Hughes fan); and made a minor career out of his semi-legendary Wilmington appearances, for which a small but rabidly enthusiastic group of followers invariably turn out.
Hughes is rumored to have a new release or three in the pipeline for 2014, so his fans might get to hear some long-awaited new recordings next year.

So I just heard the announcers for the OkSU / Wash game saying following OkSU's assumed win the series would be tied 3-3.
Now where is a site that shows all of this without flipping through everybodys schedule?
im a big fan of the pac 10/ big 12 format, it has produced some pretty exciting games this year ( and it got ISU a road win, and i'm always for that).
So how are we fairing so far against PAC-10 teams? Decent?

Goooooo...so we are tied up I guess.
Well, you'd think you could go to the Big 12 website and find this info, but there doesn't seem to be anything about the challenge status there.
The Big 12 website is lame. So, I took the opportunity to take their little fan survey to express my thoughts and suggestions. It looks like they are planning to revise the website soon, so it wouldn't hurt if more fans took the survey to express their ideas.

Didn't OU lose to USC?
How did they do the pairings for this? Do they set it up according to everyone's record last year?

yes it was thursday night I watched the game from Okie.
Oklahoma lost to USC a couple of days ago, and Kansas beat Arizona earlier in the week. Were those games scheduled before the series was started?
So, according to what KU fans around here have said the KU-USC game tomorrow isn't actually part of the series since it is the 2nd half of a home and home already scheduled but the KU-Arizona game that KU won last week is. I have no idea who is actually deciding what the official games are so take it for what it's worth.
I think eventually they're going to get it down to 12 total games with 2 Pac 10 schools playing twice.
Wow, Missouri was up 8 on Cal last night at the half and got outscored by 22 in the second half to lose by 14. It was at Berkeley, though.
Ok, here are the "official games" as far as I can tell from random internet searches.
Nov 21, Washinton @ Texas A&M
Nov 25, Arizona @ Kansas
Nov 29, Oregon @ Kansas State
Nov 29, Oklahoma @ Southern Cal
Nov 30, Washington St @ Baylor
Nov 30, Iowa State @ Oregon St
Dec 1, Missouri @ California
Dec 1, Washington @ Oklahoma State
Dec 2, Texas @ UCLA
Dec 2, Arizona St @ Nebraska
Dec 2, Standford @ Colorado
Dec 2, Texas A&M & Arizona
Dec 22, Standford @ Texas Tech
EDIT: The games in Red are not part of the 'official challenge games'.
Series is 2-4 Pac 10

It's the most common sexually transmitted disease in America. More than five million people are infected with human papillomavirus or HPV. It is extremely prevalent yet it remains a silent epidemic.
Concern about HPV has increased in recent years after studies showed that some types of HPV infection cause cervical cancer.
"We know that most if not all cervical cancers, (and) we know that genital warts don't have any symptoms whatsoever," said Jane Kiley, Women's Health nurse practitioner.
And that lack of symptoms may be one reason for the fact that at any one time an estimated 20 million people in the United States have genital HPV infections that can be transmitted to others.
When asked if he worried about catching STD's, 20-year-old Larry said he was not.
"Not too big of a deal for me," Larry said.
"With guys my age pregnancy is more of a fear than disease, in health class or whatever," said 20-year-old Enrique.
HPV is spread by skin to skin contact so condoms provide only minimal protection. HPV can be avoided if you know the main risk factors.
Early onset of intercourse and the book says that's under 20 and multiple sexual partners and the book says that's three or more.
HPV is likely the most common sexually transmitted disease among young sexually active people and is of increasing public health importance. About 30 different HPV types are sexually transmitted and most people will not have any obvious symptoms.
Young adults and teens may know a lot about sex, but not about the consequences.
"I just get shocked that people my age have slept with as many people as they have," said 22-year-old Samantha.
Anyone who is sexually active can come across this common virus but there are ways to reduce your risk. Abstinence, and having sex with only one partner who has sex only with you reduce the risk. Condoms used the right way provide some protection but since they don't cover all genital skin they don't give 100 percent protection.
For more information about HPV and other STD's you can go to the American Social Health Association's Web site at www.ashastd.org. Or to access the center's hotline call 1-877 hpv-5868.

I like the impact crater idea.
Heya. So this is a map I'm working on for the set of a game I'm working on. The game is going to require some strategic/tactical maps for playing the campaign on (I'm going to estimate their size at 50 km square, maybe smaller). But I decided I really need to have an overall picture of what is going on in the immediate and surrounding area to wrap my head around everything. So hence the need for this regional map.
I Don't have any of the names worked out just yet so I'm going to to just use Eglephron as a placeholder for now since I think it sounds neat.
Obviously I took a page of style straight from Viking's map of the world of Skenth for my oceans, because frankly that map is just inspirational. I fooled around with Wilbur and masks in massive frustration until I discovered one thing, which is that I don't know how to use Wilbur very well. After seeing Viking's map I thought that maybe I could manage something along those lines for the oceans. It is however a lot of work, I wasn't quite counting on it being so time consuming. Also I'm using a mouse and I can feel that after sessions a couple of hours long all that clicking the carpal-tunnel creeping into my arm :p . However I'm super pleased with the results, so my thanks to Viking for showing me the way so to speak.
As you can see I've pretty well determined the coasts, I may add a few more islands up in the NE corner, and plan on putting in a few tiny islands around. On the land side I haven't really done much other than the inland seas. The ugly black blobs are some intended mountain ranges I think. And the ugly blue lines leading south are some proposed river routes, I really want a bayou sort of area and river delta sort of thing happening in the southern bay type area. Not to sure what I plan on doing with the far north part of the map (the equator is planned to be put some where nearer the top edge, maybe just above the large crater).
In that large expanse in the middle is going to be a waste land of various terrain and biome types. This is the area where my games campaigns are planned to be set. As such I haven't really settled on a scale yet because I feel like I want a lot of room for my game site. I should get pretty good coverage of stuff I think though. The scale I put there is because I was imagining the large island to the East as roughly equivalent to Sicily in size.
The giant crater was based on the gulf of Mexico and the little bite is an obvious homage to Hudson Bay and James Bay, but then I figure it could've been a second meteor strike and also saw a bunch of pictures of craters that actually form islands in the middle with a surprising amount of frequency. Anyways on the coast of that little crater is where I intend on putting the most important city, sort of the Rome for this world. Perhaps on the little island, but more likely on the mainland next to a rive that empties there.
My concerns at this point are having a relatively realistic sort of river delta swamp thing which I think I already screwed up a little. And of coarse I am concerned about the mountain ranges. I decided to forgo being super careful and thinking about tectonic plates and such because I didn't feel like getting all caught up with that stuff and limited by realism, but at the same time I want it to work in my mind without just saying, "oh its a magic world dufus."
That was entirely too much writing and far more than I intended, sorry for the TL: DR. Here's the map so far:

I like the impact crater idea.
SO I've been painting this greyscale mess for some topographical guidance but I'm totally lost now (whoops). I can't decide whether it is worth pursuing for some sort of bump map or whatever or scrapping this approach entirely. I'm torn between keeping it and ditching it. I'm also of two minds regarding of whether I want to do isometric drawn elements in the map or go for a more realistic topographical satellite photo approach. Right now I'm leaning towards ditching this entirely and doing the drawing, which will leave me leeway for my more detailed campaign maps.
The things I want represented on this map in some manner are pretty regular sorts of stuff. Vegetation, terrain, rivers and roads should there be any and major points of interest such as settlements or what have you. It could be that is too much for one map to handle well. The goal of this map I think is just an overview of things for the smaller detailed campaign maps. Maybe that is not refined enough?
Just for fun I've been playing with this in Wilbur, it turns out if you run 30 or so precipitation based erosion cycles most of the map becomes an endless expanse of green sea with some very nice looking hills.
It seems as though you intentionally blurred the height map? At any rate, although I've tried my hand at a more hand drawn style, I personally prefer Sat style maps. If you do pursue it that way, you'll get plenty of advice, either way really. You might find the Tuts on that style create possibilities and ideas you hadn't already thought of for your smaller scale campaign maps.
Mostly its airbrushed strokes, I blurred it a little on another layer to blend it together better but really I need a lot more resolution in the height map for it to work on this scale. Which I'm having difficulties with. The ocean was easier to do because of the colours I think. Also it's easier to just ignore detail in the oceans because there is no expectation or real need for it. I'll keep going over the tutorials though, there is a lot of good stuff in them, getting it in my head however...
Still having trouble deciding which way to go with the terrain indications. I've been experimenting with some poorly drawn mountains, and I have some nice Wilbur processed height maps.
I've put in the rivers and outlined the coasts though and it looks a lot better for it. All the line work was done in Inkscape and imported it to Gimp. I definitely have to fix the style of the mountains though if I'm sticking with drawn. The mountains obviously would not go directly over a river, this was just a quick thing to sort of see it in action. I've been thinking how to paint them if at all, but not come up with anything successful so far. I'm fairly certain I'd like them to at least have a white highlight.
The map colours are there just to indicate the location of the height map. They are definitely not staying being that they are terrible.
Don't know why I've taken so long to say this, but I'm digging that landmass shape. Very, very, very cool.
The mountains are really nice but looking on the greyscale map it look like some black hole tried to twist the map. Not that it's bad but I wonder if it's intentional.
Lingdon, thanks it's comforting to hear that. I was really kind of not sure about the west, likely because there are no coasts or really any really defined features there. I'm still not entirely sure what to do with it, it's going to end up being my maps spiritual Saskatchewan I think; really boring to drive through.
Azelor, that effect was unintended, but not unliked now that you pointed it out.
Max, I'm not sure what you mean?
Ok so once I finally got my brushes to start working I've been experimenting with the mountains. I'm not sure I want to continue in this direction or not. I like the painted mountains, but they seems sort of cartoony. Maybe with a tan background and just white highlights they'd work better? I'll have to try it tomorrow. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

As some of you may know, I dabble in photography, which means that after years of shooting I have a very large volume of RAW files laying around (currently a little over 500GB's worth).
Adobe Lightroom does a great job at organizing my collection, which is stored on two external hard drives. I have a primary drive and a backup one. When I import new photos in Lightroom, I have the option to "Make a Second Copy To" and specify my second drive.
Having a local backup is important. In fact, the external drive that used to store my main collection died unexpectedly in September and I had to resort to copying everything from my backup drive to a new drive.
A local backup is convenient and allows you to quickly restore your files, should your main drive go awry. The problem with local backups is that they're not enough.
Fire, flood, burglary, or even a fluke incident like somehow frying both hard drives at the same time, all come to mind.
Now that there are some relatively inexpensive options in which to store one's files on the cloud, I've been looking for a viable solution to this issue on that front.
There are many services offering some form of on-the-cloud photo backup. Unfortunately most of them either don't support RAW files or cost way too much money (I'm talking $50/mo for the amount of data I have). [1]
In the past I tried using generic backup programs like Crashplan and I found them to be unbearably slow, as the upload speeds were nowhere near what my connection is capable of.
To make a long story short, it came down to Dropbox and Google Drive. Neither of which support client side encryption upon upload, while also both struggling to handle directories that are stored on external drives.
For Mac, there is an excellent program called Arq [2] which enables you to perform your own encrypted, incremental, versioned backups to various cloud services including S3, Amazon Glacier, and Google Drive. They do not seem to support Dropbox at this time. [3]
That pretty much determined my ultimate choice for me right there. [4] With Google Drive I get 1TB of data for $9.99/mo and that same space is shared amongst Gmail, Google Drive, and Google+ Photos, which certainly doesn't hurt. Unlike Glacier, which would cost more or less the same, there is no waiting period for your files to become available in case a restore in required.
Arq handles backing up external drives without a hitch. Connect to the drive and the backup starts or continues. Disconnect the drive, and all backup operations are put on pause.
The only precaution you need to take is to change the Google Drive settings on each computer you use, so that the Arq Backup Data is not synchronized (otherwise you'd have 500+GB of data downloaded on each computer).
It's an almost perfect solution for me, especially because I'm not limited just to photos. I can use the same software and the same Google Drive space for other folders and files that I need to backup. And with the same application, I can also upload selected folders to S3 or other services I use if needed.
The only downside to this is that the data is encrypted so I can't just look at the individual files on drive.google.com. Something I can live with.
If you enjoyed this post, then make sure you subscribe to my Newsletter and/or Feed.
The *initial* backup with CrashPlan on default settings is slow, yes. But tweaking those settings to no longer apply a governor makes a big difference. Besides, who cares about speed when you're getting UNLIMITED backups for $6/mo or less? Keep your two local backups and toss CrashPlan in the mix and speed is no longer a concern. Incremental backups when you add new files are pretty quick.
Another option: 1 TB OneDrive storage is included with every Office 365 subscription, cheapest at $7/mo also gives you all the benefits of O365 at the same time.

Rifle's business community fared slightly worse in 2012 than those in other Garfield County municipalities, according to the latest sales tax numbers from across the region.
Data from the city of Rifle shows sales tax receipts were down by 2 percent in 2012 compared to 2011, from about $6.5 million to near $6.4 million.
Building and motor vehicle use tax
revenue showed a similar decline, but the lodging industry in Rifle was hardest hit: Revenue garnered from the city's lodging tax dropped in 2012 by more than $20,000, to a total of roughly $109,000, after several hotels in Rifle closed.
"It's a bit mysterious," said Rifle Finance Director Charles Kelty. "The last three to four months of the year, we were down anywhere between 10 and 15 percent."
"I would consider two percent down to be a positive number," said Gary Miller, who owns Miller's Dry Goods in downtown Rifle.
"Everyone is just so darn conservative right now, we're selling a lot of 'needs,' but not a lot of 'wants,'" said Miller.
He noted that his sales were down in 2012 compared to 2011, largely due to a decline in spending by the natural gas industry, which buys work clothes from his store.
Overall, Rifle's general fund revenues dropped by two percent as well, from about $8.8 million to just over $8.6 million.
Mostly treading water in the lower Roaring Fork Valley
New Castle and Parachute fared slightly better than Rifle in 2012, with sales tax increases of less than two percent apiece over 2011.
In New Castle, sales tax revenues went from $1.03 million in 2011 to $1.05 million in 2012, while in Parachute revenues were flat or up just slightly from their level of $1.1 million in 2011.
"Last year, we had a couple of little bumps with the construction of the Parachute interchange, but it's basically a holding pattern," said Parachute Town Administrator Robert Knight.
Between 2008 to 2009, Knight said, sales tax revenues dropped by more than 50 percent due to the recession, and have mostly held steady at just over $1 million since.
"We've gotten down to our base economy," said Knight. "We fired about a third of our staff, and we are operating in skeletal mode."
In sharp contrast to its neighboring towns, Silt saw a 16 percent increase in sales tax revenue in 2012 compared to the previous year, thanks largely to the opening of a new Dollar General Store, according to Town Administrator Pamela Wood.
There, revenue went from just over $381,000 to $443,000 between 2011 and 2012.
Overall, signs of economic recovery were much more evident in the upper Roaring Fork Valley, as Carbondale and Glenwood Springs both saw increases of more than 5 percent in their sales tax revenue in 2012, compared to the previous year.
"Some people say the recession started in Aspen and worked its way down to Rifle," said Rifle Mayor Jay Miller. "The recovery has started in Aspen, and we hope it's working its way down this direction."
Across Colorado, a recent survey done by the Colorado Municipal League shows many towns and cities entering 2013 with either increases in revenue (47 percent) or no major change in revenue (31 percent).
That voluntary survey also showed large cities faring better than small towns, and cities on the Front Range faring better than those in other parts of the state.
More than 80 percent of large Front Range cities report increased revenue for 2012, as compared with 54 percent of municipalities on the Western Slope and 18 percent on the Eastern Plains.

|Molly Brandt reports on mission trip to Haiti
|Written by Molly Brandt
Simplicity is key. Those in the Third World country of Haiti don't have much choice other than to lead simple lives. Coming from the land of opportunities, traveling to Haiti taught me that leading a simple life is often a missed key behind focusing on one's goals and passions. Really— time multiplies for things that really matter if we simply focus less on our appearance and materials.
A wide, wide variety of ministry opportunities arose on this trip May 19-25, most different from my first trip to Haiti last summer. The mission organization, Global Expeditions, again partnered with Pastor Benite Jeune in Arcahaie, Haiti so I stayed on the same compound as last year.
My mission team consisted of only 10: one project director and nine 18-to-20-year-olds that I met for the first time May 19, the beginning of our week trip. With three translators and the guidance of Pastor Benite, the team had many intimate opportunities in the village and elsewhere.
Spending time in two schools allowed us to see the education situation in Haiti. It's a struggle for schools to prosper with no government income and not much to pay teachers.
Molly Brandt sits on the beach with several Haitian children while visiting Haiti for the second time on
Education is taken seriously, but it's not available or affordable for everyone and the atmosphere is much different than we're accustomed to. School buildings or tents are either very dark or supplied with light from open, glass-free "windows" that provide heat from the sun that does in fact shine brighter in Haiti. Paper isn't easy to come by and chalkboards, if used at all, are mainly old, hard to see and damaged.
Painting one room and sanding and priming three rooms at the pastor's orphanage showed major contrast to similar projects in America. Concrete walls with an abundance of holes and dents, even after sanding, takes quite awhile to paint, if done well.
Even the nicest brushes are low quality and its imperative to thin the expensive primer. Cleaning supplies is done by minimal use of water from a small container, as opposed to a continuously shooting power hose.
Prison ministry in Haiti was an insanely unique opportunity. Housed in dark, one-room cells with 10-15 men in each, barred rooms faced concrete courtyards with the wide open sky above.
Prisoners were SO appreciative and desperate to just shake hands through the bars and know they are loved. Many of them don't have family or anyone that visits them, so showing them compassion is imperative.
I don't know why it takes Haiti to teach me this, but telling and showing someone they are loved and are special is in fact the greatest gift one can give.
On her first mission trip, Molly Brandt met a young boy named
There seems to be some improvement in Haiti since the earthquake of 2010, but it is still an impoverished country by every definition. A huge tent city that has sat in Port-au-Prince for years was completely evacuated by the government.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the government provided other living means or simply abandoned the area. There were a few places with buildings going up that Pastor Benite contributed to USAID. Yet, it seems there will never be enough resources to completely rebuild Haiti. That's why it's absolutely important to bring the people love and hope, despite their lifestyle.
Another tent city in Port-au-Prince, Cité Soleil, is known as one of the most dangerous places in Haiti. Because the poverty level is so devastating, the crime rate absolutely skyrockets.
As we passed by Cité Soleil one night in Pastor's truck, it was raining hard, as it does frequently in Haiti, and the tent city, which is located in a valley, was immediately flooded.
Children dug out of trash in the alleys—praying to find something sufficient to eat for the day. Imagine owning very few possessions, living in a small tent with multiple family members, having very little to eat and being surrounded by an unstoppable crime rate.
Then on top of all that, throw in frequent flooding in your HOME. One doesn't stand a chance at happiness without the love of a God who exceeds all expectation.
In an extremely impoverished area near the water one day, I sat with children on every limb, mothers dropping their child anywhere there was room, on top of other children as well. Kids were so desperate to be squeezed, to be smiled at.
The truth is that there are so many people—children and adults—in Haiti and America, with this maybe unnoticed yearning to be loved and acknowledged. I choose to live my life in a way to provide this love to everyone I come across, but my team's focus and the truth of it all is that this love can be provided at ALL times and at a much greater capacity with the acceptance of Jesus Christ.

Country Club Road Residence Middletown, Conn.
The Country Club Road concrete home uses ICF construction to create an airtight, energy-efficient design.
(Top) The small squares on the kitchen floor were hand-brushed with multiple layers of onyx-colored stain to reach a deep color. Black grout and saw cuts create the look of tile.
Floors throughout the house are acid stained and feature custom designs.
This 6000-square-foot home showcases concrete's versatility inside and out. Its solid exterior walls are made of steel-reinforced insulating concrete forms (ICF), creating a home that resists earthquakes, hurricanes, loud noise, fire, mold, and insects.
The Country Club Road residence is built to withstand New England's harsh winters. With ICFs, various energy-efficient features, and ENERGY STAR rated appliances, it is three times as thermal as traditional wood-framed homes.
In the basement and garage, concrete floors are lined with 2-inch, rigid foam board insulation, sand, and a 10-mil poly-vapor barrier for further insulation and waterproofing. The remaining floors are framed with fire-resistant steel joists and steel decking, complete with a layer of open-cell urethane spray foam. Radiant heating creates a comfortable living environment.
Acid-stained concrete floors provide a decorative element. The floors were diamond-ground to a smooth finish; a white polymer cement overlay was then applied. Floors were stained in a variety of colors, including marigold, mahogany, powder blue, and green. Finishers created patterns by making cuts with a worm-drive saw and vacuum attachments. Two coats of 100% solids high-build, ultra-clear epoxy and two coats of high-solids urethane created a high gloss look.
The home's amenities include a 5x5-foot, 10-head concrete shower, fitness center, home theater, and sauna. Stamped concrete patios and walkways and a stone and stucco veneer define the exterior.
The entire project used 214 ½ yards of conventional and decorative concrete. Its ICF walls and steel deck floors saved about 130 trees.

Fareway Selected As Third "Cash Mob" Business
(Le Mars) -- (sot) "Fareway Shopping Center...Fareway grocery..."
That's what Le Mars Mayor Dick Kirchoff told a group of 35 people standing outside the Le
Mars Chamber offices last evening awaiting word on which downtown food business would be
selected for the third "Cash Mob". The group then either walked, or drove their vehicles to
the downtown supermarket store to pick up a few items. Each participant was asked to spend
at least $20 at the designated food business. Dr. Mark Stelzer, and his wife, Kathy
participated in the third cash mob and purchased some of Fareway's steaks. Stelzer commented
that he and his wife were going to do some grilling last evening." Others went to the
produce area and started selecting melons, fruits, and vegetables. Still other participants
selected frozen foods and some went for the bakery items. Fareway officials seemed pleased
that their store was selected for the third cash mob. At one time, Fareway manager Dave
Shaver called for all available grocery employees to assist with the checking and bagging
duties, as every cash register was busy. Just prior to selecting the lucky business, mayor
Kirchoff discussed the value of shopping in Le Mars.

Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Brought Up By Plymouth County Attorney
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by Iowa counties who claimed that banks failed to pay millions in recording fees when they transferred the ownership of mortgages to
create profitable but risky financial instruments.
U.S. District Judge Mark Bennett dismissed the lawsuit brought by Plymouth County Attorney Darin Raymond against companies that own a national registry tracking ownership interests for home loans.
The lawsuit claimed the registry allowed mortgage companies to transfer loans to other banks to be pooled into mortgage-backed securities to sell to investors. It claimed the system violated
Iowa law because they did not record each transfer of ownership, and pay required fees.
Bennett ruled that Iowa law does not contain such a recording requirement and dismissed the lawsuit, which was seeking class-action status on behalf of 99 counties.
King and Vilsack Debate The Debates
(Le Mars) -- It seems as though U-S Representative Steve King and his Democratic challenger
Christie Vilsack are having a debate about debates. Recently, an organized debate scheduled
for September 22 which was to be held at Ames and sponsored in part by the Ames Tribune has
been called off due to the parties can't come to any agreement as to the debate format. On
Monday of this week, King held a townhall meeting at Le Mars in which he was asked if there
would be any debates. King's immediate answer was "I really don't know." King told the
questioner that he believes there will be at least two debates, one at Des Moines, and the
other at Mason City.

King says the two sides can't agree as to the types of debates, the locations, or the formats.

To emphasize his point, the U-S Congressman was seen tapping his finger on the podium,

Storm Lake To Pay For Boating Accident Resulting In A Death of Boy
STORM LAKE, Iowa (AP) - Storm Lake officials have approved its part of $1.1 million settlement to the family of a Nebraska boy who died in a boating accident in 2010.
The payment will settle a federal lawsuit filed after the death of 10-year-old David McFarlin, of
South Sioux City, Nebraska. He died when the boat he was riding in hit a submerged dredging pipe in Storm Lake. The outboard motor flipped into the boat and hit the boy.
The City Council this week approved an agreement in which the city, Buena Vista County and the Lake Improvement Commission would pay a combined $800,000. The driver of the boat will pay about
$100,000 and Brunswick Boats will pay $30,000.
David's mother, Jamie Laass, filed the lawsuit.
Sioux City Casino To Operate On Extension
(Des Moines) -- Iowa (AP) - State regulators say Sioux City's riverboat can keep operating without a contract extension between the operator of the casino and its nonprofit partner.
The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission backed off a threat to proceed with shutting down the boat if Penn National Gaming Company and the Missouri River Historical Development didn't agree on a
short-term deal by Thursday's board meeting in Riverside, Iowa.
The commission last month refused to accept a contract signed by the partners that would have run through March 2015. The commission instead approved an extension through March 2013, saying it fit plans to seek bids for a land-based casino.
Penn has gone to court to overturn the decisions that put the license up for bid and rejected the 2015 extension.

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania man has been jailed on charges he was selling heroin from a recovery center for drug addicts.
Investigators from the Lancaster County Drug Task Force said 46-year-old Carlos Rafael Almestica-Serrano had about $30,000 worth of heroin in his room at the Spanish American Civic Association's recovery house.
Almestica-Serrano's room was raided Wednesday. Police said they also found a digital scale that's commonly used to weigh drug transactions.
A task force detective said the suspect was selling the drugs on the street, not to other residents of the recovery facility.
Almestica-Serrano was charged with possession with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was ordered held in Lancaster County prison on $250,000 cash bail.

RICHMOND - Martins Ferry's Arjay Burress fumbled on the sixth play of the game helping set Edison rolling toward a 21-0 advantage it held late in the second quarter.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, that wasn't Burress' last word as the running back collected 154 of his 200 yards rushing and all three of his touchdowns in the second half en route to a 34-21 Purple Riders victory Friday night at Cartwright Field.
"He's a sophomore and he doesn't want to fumble, but sometimes when you're giving great effort that will happen," Martins Ferry coach Dave Bruney said. "He ran hard. All of our backs blocked for each other, and our line did a great job
''I couldn't be prouder of our team.''
With the score standing 21-7 at halftime, the Wildcats took the second-half kickoff and marched 48 yards in 12 plays down to the Martins Ferry 15-yard line. On third-and-9 Mark Douglas scooped up a Nolan Marcus fumble and brought it back to the Ferry 32. Five plays later Burress drove in from 3 yards out.
Big plays on the drive were a 31-yard run by Burress and a 22-yard run by Brian Styles. The extra point was blocked, but the Riders cut the lead to 21-13 with five minutes left in the third quarter.
"We got it rolling early," Edison coach Derrick Stickles said. "We were up 21-0. We got up, and they came back, but we need to learn how to finish.
"That's the corner we have to turn from this point. We had them down, we have to learn to keep teams down, and finish the game."
A Wildcats' three-and-out led to the Purple Riders tying the game.
Taking over at its 21, Martins Ferry went 79 yards on seven run plays. Jahad Joyce ran over an Edison tackler on his 10-yard scoring run, and Styles ran in the 2-point conversion to make the score 21-21 with 34 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Another Edison punt had Martins Ferry driving again, but Tyler Stagani recovered a Styles fumble at the Wildcats 24-yard line to end the threat.
Ferry took the ball back three plays later when Jake Barritt dove in front of a Marcus pass for an interception, giving the Purple Riders the ball at the home team's 38.
Six plays later Burress scored from 7 yards out. A second extra point was blocked, but Martins Ferry led for the first time at 27-21 with 3:14 left in the game.
"I think it's Martins Ferry," Stickles said. "They have a great coaching staff, they have great players, and they made good halftime adjustments. I think that's what it was. If you look at the game in the first half they were hitting us a lot inside with the run game.
"In the second half they started using their speed on the edge and they were getting the corner. They're running backs and quarterback were doing a great job."
Ferry's defense forced a turnover on downs when a Marcus pass to Rich Springer fell to the grass at the Riders 44-yard line, and Burress put the finishing touches on the game with a 49-yard touchdown followed by an extra point with 29 seconds remaining to make the final 34-21.
"We haven't had a bad practice all year," Bruney said. "They had a good game plan. The speed of that zone read is very hard to simulate in practice when you have a freshman running it and then you're facing a good senior in the game.
"That's kind of tough, and they did a great job. My hat's off to them. My hats off to our kids too though. This is our third game in a row on the road, and we just found a way to do it."
The first half saw Edison score touchdowns on its first three possessions.
Marcus went in on runs of 1 and 11 yards and also connected with Storm Allese on a 22-yard touchdown toss. Marcus had 197 yards passing with a score and pick to go with 89 yards and two scores on the ground.

Dairy cows once grazed the hillsides of the area known today as Firestone Metro Park. In 1949, Metro Parks received a gift of 89 acres from the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Acquisitions of nearby parcels expanded the park to 258 acres.
In 1956, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources completed construction of a nearby dam, intended to create a reservoir for industrial water needs. As the reservoir of the adjacent Firestone Golf Course filled, the water table rose downstream, forming the large wetland and marshy meadows of Firestone Metro Park. Along with the Tuscarawas River and Tuscarawas Race, which once channeled water to the Ohio & Erie Canal, the area is home to fish, crayfish, frogs and turtles.
The meadows and forest shelter foxes, coyotes, raccoons, skunks, muskrats, rabbits, mice, voles and moles, along with many beautiful summer and fall wildflowers. More than 175 bird species have been sighted in Firestone Metro Park, including various types of wrens, thrushes, warblers, woodpeckers, herons and ducks. A number of different raptors – including bald eagles – have also been spotted.
A note to visitors: Poison sumac is found in the wet areas of Firestone Metro Park. This small tree/shrub contains a powerful skin irritant, similar to that of poison ivy. To avoid it, stay on designated trails.
Firestone Metro Park features play fields and areas for cross-country skiing, sledding and fishing. The park contains Tuscarawas Shelter and the popular Coventry Oaks Pavilion, both of which can be reserved.

Temperatures rising into the upper 80s or low 90s in the next few days — hot enough to wither some Puget Sound-area residents — would likely be a welcome relief elsewhere, as a vast high-pressure system spreads across much of the Western U.S.
The National Weather Service is calling this one of the earliest recorded heat waves in the past 120 years, with temperatures hitting levels that usually aren't seen until August, if at all.
Consider 128 degrees in Death Valley, 119 in Phoenix, 111 in Fresno or, closer to home, 105 in Wenatchee and Yakima — all marks that could be reached within the next few days, according to AccuWeather.com.
In some areas, high temperatures are expected to rise as much as 30 degrees in a few days, as burning-hot summer weather arrives with a bang.
