WHEELING - The Pietro Fiorentini Group of Vicenza, Italy - a maker of valves, meters and components for the oil and gas industry - announced Thursday it will build its first American manufacturing plant near the heart of the energy industry in Weirton.

Since March 2013, Pietro Fiorentini has operated a production unit in a shared building on Peninsula Street in Wheeling near the Wheeling Industrial Park. The company has about 15 employees at the location, according to Chief Executive Officer Mario Nardi.
Nardi expects the proposed plant, to be located in the Three Springs Drive Industrial Park in Weirton, could be constructed in the next two years and will employ as many as 50 employees when fully operational. Nardi said the cost of the project has yet to be determined.
Nardi addressed political and business leaders including Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin at the company's Wheeling location where he detailed why Pietro Fiorentini chose the state as the place to build its first manufacturing plant in America.
The company, founded in 1938, has seven factories in Italy, two others in Europe, three in China, the production unit in Wheeling and 20 regional centers throughout the world.
Texas, New York, North Carolina and Georgia recruited Pietro Fiorentini to build its American manufacturing plant there, he said. The company chose the larger Marcellus and Utica shale sites in West Virginia and Ohio, Nardi said.
The company also considered how close proposed sites were to highways, airports and areas with strong engineering and technical schools, Nardi said.
"We applied the metrics to make our decision, and the best scoring was for West Virginia," he said. "We had different competitors, but you were it. That's very important. We need to invest in the local know-how and people. This will be a big opportunity for us and for all the people involved. We are here for a long-term commitment and we want to make the best decision."
Nardi said employees from the company have been traveling back between Vicenza and Wheeling to begin the establishment of manufacturing operations in America. In the coming months, the company will develop its workforce and find quality engineers from U.S. universities to join them.
The workers "will be visiting our factories in Italy so as to understand our culture and know how," he said. "We will be joining the best of Italian culture and know how with the best of American culture and know-how. We will take the best from both."
Tomblin said he traveled to Italy in October to meet with representatives of Pietro Fiorentini as the state seeks to capitalize on its energy reserves.
"As this industry continues to grow, new jobs will be created," he said. "Our manufacturing segment will be revitalized. In four years, we will require an additional 20,000 college graduates in West Virginia, and that's just to maintain the economy we have."
Don Rigby, executive director of the Regional Economic Development Partnership in Wheeling, said Pietro Fiorentini is one of six Italian companies working with his office that have chosen to locate to the Ohio Valley.

Ireland is now a state for the Independents – after Shane Ross led the way home with the highest poll of the count to date as he romped to the Dail
Ross will be joined in Leinster House by former Fine Gael minister Michael Lowry from Tipperary North, developer Mick Wallace in Wexford and Seamus Healy in Tipperary South.
All four topped the polls in their constituencies with Ross the stand-out candidate after he attracted an incredible
Ross hailed a seismic shift in Irish politics and told RTÉ: "The voters here in my constituency and with their support for independents all across the country are saying we want change and we want radical change.
"This isn't just about people who didn't want to vote for Fianna Fáil but instead suggests that tribal politics in Ireland is under siege and, thank God, maybe it will be in the months and years to come.
"This is an extraordinary day in Irish politics and the number of votes for me is daunting, it shows an amazing and serous need for change in Ireland."
A former Fine Gael candidate in Wicklow, Ross was adamant that he has no interest in re-joining the party and will only support them in government as an independent if they support his 'radical' plans.
Lowry took 14,104 first preferences in his Tipperary stronghold while in the South of the same county, Healy walked into the Dail on the third count with a total 11,265, 924 votes over the quota.
Soccer nut Mick Wallace insisted he will fly the flag for All-Ireland and not just for Wexford when he takes his seat on March 9th.
"I do not want to be part of any attempt by Fine Gael to form a government with independent candidates," Wallace told reporters.
"I've been involved in the community of Wexford for 20 years and I have been talking about this for years so it was time and I went out there and put myself up for election.
"I didn't make any promises on the doorstep and said he wouldn't fix potholes or help people dodge hospital or housing queues. But I said if I got in then I'd represent the people at a national and local level."
Labour's deputy leader Joan Burton had the honor of becoming the first member of the new Dail when she topped the poll in Dublin West – where outgoing Finance Minister Brian Lenihan just about held onto his seat.
Burton, finance spokesperson for Labour, was elected on the first count after amassing a massive 9,627 votes.
She was subsequently joined in the Dail by Fine Gael's Leo Varadkar and socialist candidate Joe Higgins with Lenihan left to sweat it out for a probable fourth seat.
"Labour has had a very good day, my colleagues have done very well and I am looking forward to having a lot of new colleagues in the Dail," said Bruton.
Elected on the third count, Higgins warned the incoming Fine Gael-Labour coalition that they face the same problems that brought Fianna Fail down in this election.
"The critical thing is how can we build a new movement of the left and the socialist alternative to represent working class people and the youth," said Higgins, ready to form a new left wing alliance in Kildare Street.
"We will begin to make a new party to fill that vacuum."
The Green Party has been decimated in the 2011 General Election – with the junior coalition partners in the last government unlikely to have any seats in the new Dail.
Outgoing TDs Paul Gogarty and Ciaran Cuffe had already conceded defeat before the six o'clock news on RTE television.
Leader John Gormley and junior minister Eamon Ryan were hanging on to outside hopes of retaining their seats in Dublin where only Trevor Sargent had any chance of returning to Leinster House.
"John and I have little chance of holding our seats," admitted Ryan while party colleague Mary White all but gave up on her seat in Carlow-Kilkenny.
Former Minister Cuffe admitted that: "The Faustian pact with Fianna Fáil has come back to haunt the party. However, I still believe the party performed well in government and will recover its standing in time."
One of the youngest candidates in the 2011 Election has failed to make his mark on the ballot paper – after Dylan Haskins polled 1383 first preferences, less than half the votes of his number of friends on his campaign Facebook page in Dublin South East.
Libyan General Election candidate Hussein Hamed won't be took bothered by his poor showing in Dublin South – he's busy mourning the death of his step brother in the conflict back home so the fact he took just 273 votes.
Bookmaker Paddy Power decided enough was enough on Saturday afternoon and started to pay out bets on a Fine Gael-Labour coalition after less than 15 seats in the new Dail had been filled.

Kilkenny's James Ryall has announced his decision to retire from inter-county hurling.
The Graigue-Ballycallan defender, aged 30, has a haul of six All-Ireland medals, seven Leinster and four National League titles.
Injuries in recent years have curtailed Ryall's involvement with the Cats, with the 2006 All-Ireland win over Cork a personal highlight for the player.
Speaking to the Irish Examiner, the player said: 'It was the memory that stands out because we were underdogs going into the game and when you're not fancied it gives you the greatest satisfaction when you win it. To have played in that final was a real highlight.'

It will support almost any resolution that your graphics adapter can
generate. In most cases this is any arbitrary resolution up to the upper
limit of your card. Yo can add it with the gamode tool.
However, 1280*1024 is VESA standard and supported anyway.

That's much more important. You should avoid chipsets without an
accelerated SNAP driver.
I don't use either of the two above, so I don't know if they are supported.

Gamification book review
By Erikanollwebb-Oracle on Aug 30, 2013
Earlier this summer, I was asked to review a new book on Gamification put out by Janaki Kumar and Mario Herger called Gamification at Work, put out by the Interaction Design Foundation. As you can image, I've read a lot of these but I would really recommend taking a look at this one if you are interested in gamification and how it can be used in business software. One of the key reasons is simple, while other books I have read tend to focus on the game mechanics, Kumar and Herger put more focus on the user of the systems.
To me, that's what's been missing from a lot of the books I have read. Many of them are very focused on the mechanics themselves, but spend very little time on understanding who your users are. While that might be ok for a consumer site, where the audience may be very broad and not easily defined, in business software, it's pretty essential to understand who is using your software and what motivates them before slapping on points and badges. If you apply game mechanics badly, as I have said before, you can alienate your users. That's pretty risky when you are talking about the software that runs your business--do you want to take a chance that your users are so put off by your attempts at sloppy gamification that they don't want to use that software?
Kumar and Herger, instead, spend a good deal of the book talking about how they would define and understand users before coming to a decision about how to add gamification to the software. I think this is a critical change between this offering and others. *One exception to Andrzej Marczewski (@daverage), who writes a very useful blog and has spent a lot of time looking at how to define user types. They describe the need to do research into your users and develop a persona to help understand what kind of users you are developing for. Coming from the usability side of software development, I think that's great.
My only wish for this book was that they went just a little further into how you move from the specific users to the specific mechanics, but that's a leap I haven't seen anywhere yet. In fact, it's one we're working on now, since we're developing a set of Gamification Guidelines for Enterprise applications that we are hoping to roll out very soon. It's not an easy question (or I'd have finished it a long time ago!) so I can see how it's been missing from most of the offerings out there.

|Buttercream, Royal Icing, Fondant, Gum Paste
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: I made this cake for my own birthday cake. If you have a cake addiction - you will understand. Haha! I have tried Jessica's wax paper method before but it didn't come out perfect like hers, imagine that. I wanted to give it another go with her new ombre "mixing" technique in this class. The stripes are not as straight as I wanted, the cut out on top of the ombre didn't work out so well either but I patched things up the best I could and I think it turned out okay - by no means perfection like she does, but good for me :) She has amazing talent!
I know this doesn't resemble the cakes in this class at all but.I took this class to learn more of Jessica's techniques. I just love her! This is a 6" round double barrel. It is sitting in the snow. The all butter buttercream looks more yellow against the snow background! I should have dusted it will luster.
It looks awesome dear. You honestly did great. Jessica sure has amazing God given talent. I absolutely love her. I guess with constant practice we will get better. I know things do get better with practice and time. Cheers
Absolutely beautiful! I love it! On question if I may ask. How did you make the stunning flower? Great job :)
Hi Nayda! Thank you. The flower is from Jessica's second class. Very simple to make :)
Beautiful, very delicate! :)
Thank you :)
Just saw this now. Gorgeous design. Quite honestly I didn't notice the "imperfections" until I read what you wrote. Great job.
Thank you for your sweet comment :)

Why on earth does this post keep being dug up again and again?? I mean, this is the second time I've seen it since it was posted in 2000.Why don't you just start a new thread dedicated to the sexual orientation of Bowie fans??David......Telin le thide. Lasto beth nin, tolo dan na ngalad.
In reply to:Why don't you just start a new thread dedicated to the sexual orientation of Bowie fans??
Why don't you just start a new thread dedicated to the sexual orientation of Bowie fans??
1. i prefer using the search function instead of starting new threads all the time.2. this is not about sexual orientation, this is simply one of the dumbest threads ever made.3. my intention was to put the dwarf somewhere. it would not fit into the artist forum and not into a serious thread. so i put it into this stupid "foggot" thread - unfortunatly nobody has noticed it anyway.4. i tend to be annoying and boring at the same time though i am not thomaswood. to dig up this post which got my favourite over the years was just a way to prove it.life on a hillwhere you drop your orangeon the way to your carthen travel a block and a half to retrieve it(c. cosper)
Hmmm. Apparently I'm gay. Except I'm attracted exclusively to the opposite sex. How puzzling.Luv on ya
i feel bad today. and to make everybody feel what i feel, i dig up this stupid old foggot thread, once again. it makes me realize that we are standing on the same spot as years before. (hey, is should link this into the artist forum :-P)
So you had to make us all feel bad, thomas? Ah well...actually I'm always faintly amused by this thread. As long as I don't actually read it.Hmmm. In one of my old posts in this thread I have the best avatar pic I ever had. I think I'm changing back to that one.Ach, Jareth on a stick!
i've seen a lot of examples where posters get berated for making new threads on already existing topics.Hit me with your rythm stick.
Yes! The poet is as Gay as Little Richard and a frolic through the tulips. My intro to Bowie was "Fame". This piece struck me as the most original work I have ever heard. It spoke to my being different than most people. It had a defience that I sought. The music seem to speak of it's own gay intent. Without saying it in words, but in its very nature. It seem to create a somehow gay mood. so I sought and found the rest of his work. Hot damn I'm gay and it should be that way.Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere...Angel
OK, for the record, "Fame" that is. If you view the words{last words) of this classic. Bowie explains that it hurts him to bad to be gay. hence, his present choice for a mate.This doesn't negate the fact that he is Bi. It only speaks to his choice. Since bisexuals are the only ones on earth who has a choice. Lucky lucky luckyDon't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere...Angel
Are you being serious...?I think there's a glitch in my sarcasm radar.Ach, Jareth on a stick!
Yes, I am bering serious. Or are you asking meDon't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere...Angel

The family of an Israeli immigrant killed by Burbank police is pursuing a $51 million wrongful-death claim against the cities of Burbank and Los Angeles. Assaf Deri, 25, died a year ago when Burbank undercover police officers shot him in an alley in North Hollywood.
Attorneys for the family said they filed their claim late last month, just prior to the one-year anniversary of Deri's death, but the filing could not be verified on Friday, when the family went public with the legal action.
On June 25, 2004, plainclothes officers approached Deri after "boxing him into an alley with their vehicles," according to the claim. A coroner's report concluded that Deri died after officers shot him multiple times. The incident remains under investigation by the L.A. County District Attorney's Office.
The Journal previously reported that Burbank police characterized the shooting as self-defense. Officials said that the shooting occurred after two officers approached Deri's car on foot while conducting a narcotics investigation in an alley near Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Oxnard Street. Deri, who was alone in the car, accelerated, said police, hitting and slightly injuring one of the officers. Out of fear for their safety, officers opened fire. The police have declined to speak in detail about the case pending the conclusion and release of the official investigation.
The claim asserts that Deri "was not engaging in any illegal or suspicious activity, and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol." It also states that Deri had no previous criminal record. In addition, the filing alleges that officers were quick to draw their weapons because Deri looked Middle Eastern. Deri "was killed because of his race and national origin (Middle Eastern) and his religion (Jewish) and/or his perceived religion (Muslim)," in the words of the claim.
Later that night, police went to Deri's apartment and handcuffed his girlfriend and his father, who was visiting from Israel, said family friends. Officers allegedly roused them at midnight, told them that Assaf Deri was dead, then held them there overnight without allowing them to make phone calls. The claim states that officers "conduced a fruitless search for contraband and/or illegal activities without probable cause and without reasonable suspicion."

Longwood liberal studies major lands summer job teaching gifted children on Yale campus
June 4, 2012
Even though she's just a junior in college, Ericka Godwin will soon have an important addition to her resume: "Taught at Yale University."
Godwin, a Longwood University liberal studies major from Carrollton, was selected to work six weeks this summer as a counselor and teacher assistant at the Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG) held on the Yale campus.
"The SIG attracts children from all around the world to further extend their education while having fun," said Godwin, adding that she recognized her passion for teaching gifted students after working with a similar enrichment program at the University of Virginia. "Through this position I hope to gain more confidence in the classroom when facing students at different learning levels. I also hope to gain friendships and broaden my professional network with the other counselors and staff."
SIG began in 1984 with a single session in New Jersey. It has expanded over the past 26 summers to include 11 residential sessions in nine states and numerous day programs. In 2011, the program enrolled nearly 2,000 academically gifted students in kindergarten through 11th grade. For summer 2012, the three-week SIG program will be held on the campuses of 10 prestigious U.S. universities."I am excited and honored to be given this opportunity," said Godwin. "I hope to take everything that I learned in my education classes with me to this program so they can see that Longwood University prepares teachers for the future and how a small university can make a large impact."

Use of a nesting platform by Gull-billed Terns and Black Skimmers at the Salton Sea, California

AbstractIn 2006, we constructed an elevated nesting platform at the Salton Sea, California, and monitored its use by Gull-billed Terns and Black Skimmers over three subsequent breeding seasons. Black Skimmers were the first to colonize the platform with a total of five nests in 2006. In 2007 Gull-billed Terns colonized the platform with a total of 28 nests and the number of Black Skimmer nests increased to 20. Neither species nested on the platform in 2008. Low success for both species was probably influenced by at least two factors. First, when both species nested on the platform, nest densities were higher than is typical of their colonies on larger, earthen islands, and colony success may have been reduced by overcrowding. Second, lack of access to water may have reduced chicks' ability to thermoregulate effectively in the hot environment of the Salton Sea. Refinements to the size, design, and location of artificial nesting habitats are necessary to enhance productivity of colonial groundnesting birds at the Salton Sea successfully.

Dammit. Can we please fix this in November, North Carolina? Especially the quote from Republican Larry Pittman proves that religion is a problem and that voting people who think like this into government causes serious issues. "Our climate runs on a cycle. It goes up and it goes down and the lord designed it that way."
Save it for the church, please, and keep your nonsense out of science and government. I can't wait to hear what they say when our coast is ruined by dramatic sea level increases. Unfortunately for schadenfreude but fortunately for these so-called civil servants, they'll likely all be long dead by then.
The North Carolina legislature decided this week to ignore climate change data… for now. The move comes after successful lobbying by a group called NC 20, which represents economic interests along the coast like real estate developers.
After a panel of climate scientists recommended that North Carolina coastal areas plan for a 3 foot rise in sea level by the year 2100, NC 20 set out to counter the science. The group says it's an economic threat to the coast.
"I'll admit we're biased to protect ourselves," says Tom Thompson, who heads up NC 20. "All we're looking for is a reason to resist investing millions and millions of dollars and we're finding those reasons." [7:41]
NC 20 fears building and insurance cost would go up and Republican state lawmakers got the message.
"Our climate runs on a cycle. It goes up and it goes down and the lord designed it that way," Republican Larry Pittman told his colleagues in the state house. "And the main thing that causes global warning is the earth's relationship to a big ball of gas out there that we call the sun." [6:15]
On the last day of the session, lawmakers voted 68 to 46 to postpone any recommendation for coastal planning and asked for a new study on sea level rise by 2015.
"I will be voting NO along with Galileo." said Democratic State Representative Jennifer Weiss, who called the lobbying efforts an attempt to discredit science. [6:46]
The bill is now with Democratic Governor Beverly Perdue who has not decided whether to veto the legislation.

A Saturday with the Missouri Tigers starts well before kickoff. When the sun rises, you find your finest article of school spirit. At lunchtime, you gather with your friends and family, who bleed Black and Gold just like you. Two hours before the game begins, you have your spot for "Tiger Walk," the football team's march to the stadium. Finally, you arrive at Faurot Field, and then there's no turning back. After all, you're a part of Mizzou Nation, and there's victory to be claimed.
The Tigers first entered the world of college football all the way back in 1890, and by 1945, they had claimed a total of ten league championships between time spent in the Missouri Valley and Big Six Conference. In '39, Mizzou-Rah appeared in its first big-time postseason match, when Don Faurot's squad went 8-2 and booked a trip to the Orange Bowl. A good team, but maybe not necessarily a great one, Mizzou began to emerge as a perennial power in the '60s under the watch of coach Dan Devine. During the '60 campaign, the Tigers posted 10 wins for the first time ever, reached #1 in the polls at one point (another first), and triumphed at the Orange Bowl for the first time in school history.
Devine would guide Mizzou-Rah to the postseason four more times before departing in '70, but by this point, the Tigers had established themselves as fierce competitors. Warren Powers patrolled the sidelines from '78 to '84, orchestrating five bowl trips during his run. However, it's been Gary Pinkel's accomplishments in the new millennium that has Mizzou talking about a golden age on the horizon. Big 12 Conference titles in '08 and '10, plus SEC East banners in '13 and '14 (the Tigers joined the renowned football league in '12), have been the icing on a proverbial cake that has included bowl appearances in the double-digits since '01.
Across campus on the hardwood, you'll find another outfit with championship aspirations. The men's basketball team has been around since 1906 and has advanced to the NCAA tournament more than 20 times, including epic Elite Eight runs in '94, '02 and '09. At games, there's no one louder than the renowned ZouCrew, the university's official student cheering outpost. Their penchant for razzing opponents after free throws and foul calls hasn't gone unnoticed by the rest of the college hoops world, and Mizzou Arena is often cited as one of the more dynamic environments around.
If you're looking for the best representation of Mizzou fandom, then you may want to familiarize yourself with the school rallying cry, "Fight Tiger." The traditional song contains a line that goes: "Fight, Tiger, Fight for Old Mizzou/Right behind you, everyone is with you." With that in mind, picture this: fearless warriors decked out in Black and Gold battling on the field, while legions of fans support them from the stands. It's an awesome sight, and a fitting one for such a resilient university.

GMB members back July 10 strike (From Congleton Guardian)
GMB members back July 10 strike
1:34pm Friday 27th June 2014 in © Press Association 2014
The prospect of a huge strike on July 10 has come closer after members of a leading union backed industrial action over pay.
The GMB said its members in councils and schools in Wales, England and Northern Ireland supported strikes by 3-1 in protest at a 1% pay offer.
The Government is now facing a walkout by more than a million public sector workers next month, including council staff, teachers and civil servants.
GMB national officer Brian Strutton said "Our members have spoken loud and clear and said they want to go on strike.
"We have tried sensible discussions, we've sought to negotiate reasonably, we've said we are willing to accept Acas arbitration rather than go on strike - but to everything we've tried, the employers have said no. So we have no choice.
"GMB members serving school meals, cleaning streets, emptying bins, looking after the elderly, helping children in classrooms and in all the other vital roles serving our communities are fed-up with being ignored and undervalued.
"Their pay has gone up only 1% since 2010 and in October even the national minimum wage will overtake local authority pay scales.
"Their case is reasonable, the employers won't listen and don't care. No wonder they have turned to strike action as the only way of making their voices heard.
"With other unions involved too, July 10 looks like being the second biggest dispute ever, with up to two million workers on strike."
The GMB said there were 26,281 votes in favour of strike action and 9,799 against. Turnout was 23%.
A Local Government Association spokesman said: "It is disappointing that GMB will be proceeding with strike action when the turnout was so low. Local government staff have worked wonders while councils have been tackling the biggest funding cuts in living memory and we have no doubt that many will still be at work on the day of strike action.
"The pay offer we have made would increase the pay of most employees by 1% while the lowest paid would receive an increase of more than 4%. This is the fairest possible deal for our employees given the limits of what we can afford.
"This strike will not change the pay offer we have made, but it will mean those who take part lose a day's pay."

For now, the name is on a placard.Until now, her gravesite said: "The identity of this little girl is unknown."

SAN PABLO -- Former police chief Walt Schuld barely had a chance to settle into retirement before he was asked back to work.
"My wife would prefer I stay around the house, but she knows it's just temporary," said Schuld, 52, who retired in May after 31 years with the San Pablo Police Department.
Schuld resumed work last week as the city's interim assistant city manager. He replaces Kelsey Worthy, who retired for personal reasons, and will work up to 960 hours over the next six months, said City Manager Matt Rodriguez.
As assistant city manager, Schuld will oversee all the city's department heads while the city looks for a permanent replacement, Rodriguez said.
As a retired police employee, Schuld receives 90 percent of his final base salary of $202,968, or $182,671, for life from the PERS retirement system.
In his new temporary job, he'll earn $97.58 per hour, or up to $93,677 for six months of work.
Retired public employees who bolster their pension income by coming back to work for public agencies are commonly called "double dippers," but Rodriguez said that in this instance, it makes economic sense for the taxpayers. Schuld will not receive any of the typical benefits -- vacation time, medical coverage or car allowances -- that come with the job.
"The cost of filling this position is typically more than $280,000 annually, so we're saving the taxpayers thousands of dollars," Rodriguez said.
The City Council unanimously approved Schuld's new contract on July 7.
Schuld said he wasn't surprised he was asked to come back, because he had heard of Worthy's retirement.
"The city needed some help, so I am happy to step in," Schuld said.
Rodriguez said only one other retired city employee, former Finance Director Bradley Ward, is currently employed by the city.

They have a group of grammar schools that take the best and they just forget the rest and condemn them to the wilderness of a secondary education dressed up as comprehensive.

Lionel Pries Home Tour
Sunday 25th Aug 2013
at The Barksdale residence
Address and directions will be sent to registrants prior to tour
Put on by Historic Seattle
Julian and Marajane Barksdale Residence
Tour this Lionel Pries-designed Seattle landmark, constructed as an extraordinary example of Northwest regional/postwar Modern architecture.
University of Washington Geology Professor Julian Barksdale and wife Marajane, an art teacher in the Seattle schools, acquired their Cedar Park property in Northeast Seattle in the mid 1930s. During World War II, while serving in the Pacific, Julian Barksdale met UW architecture graduate A. Quincy Jones, who recommended Barksdale speak to Professor Lionel H. ("Spike") Pries about the property. In 1948-49 Pries designed a complete make-over that transformed the existing cottage on the site into an extraordinary early example of Northwest regional Modern architecture. Construction was completed, and the Barksdales moved in by fall 1950. In 1954, Pries designed a small addition that was completed the next year. Because the house remained in the ownership of the Barksdale family until 2006, it is almost completely unchanged since 1955. Since 2006, the new owners have worked to preserve the house and have secured its designation as a Seattle Landmark. With its siting, views to Lake Washington, use of natural materials and indoor-outdoor spatial relationships, the Barksdale house is a notable work of the early postwar phase of regional Modern architecture as well as an exemplary project of Lionel Pries. It's also a perfect place to enjoy summer time overlooking Lake Washington in Seattle.

Fifty days out from Cal football's season opener, athletic department officials promise the $321 million renovation of Memorial Stadium will be complete enough for the facility to be up and running.
Activity is bustling in every corner of the 63,000-seat stadium, and there remains a long to-do list. But athletic director Sandy Barbour said she has no doubts all the important and necessary elements will be in place.
"I have supreme confidence we'll play a football game on Sept. 1," she said of the game against Nevada.
During a tour of the stadium Thursday, project manager Bob Milano Jr. echoed that all-systems-go optimism.
"At 10 o'clock on (that) Saturday morning we're going to open the gates," he said.
Milano said the only elements that might not be complete by the opener will be decorative, such as signage or landscaping. Restrooms, concessions, seating and scoreboards all will be ready.
"Our goal is to have fans arrive and not have them notice something isn't done," he said. "I think we're on target for that."
Five or six months ago, the remaining workload was so daunting that Milano admits to having had a few "omigod" moments. No longer.
"The university's credibility and the athletic department's credibility is too important for us not to make it," Milano said.
Crews are working 10 to 12 hours per day, six days a week to complete the 21-month project.
On Thursday, workers were reinforcing the existing scoreboard structures at the north and south ends of the stadium with concrete and steel. New video screens will be hung in early August.
The field's subsurface drainage system is installed and covered by gravel, and a three-quarters-inch pad is set to go in by the end of July.
Matrix artificial turf -- the same as used at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas -- will be laid the first two weeks of August, and Milano said he anticipates the team will get the chance to practice on the new field several times before the Nevada game.
About 90 percent of the aluminum benches and chair-back seats are in place within the bowl. The stadium lights and sound system are installed and await testing.
Perhaps the last major aspect of the project to be completed will be what Cal is calling the grand stair entrance to the stadium from the north end, across Piedmont Avenue from the Haas School of Business. The 50-foot wide pathway to two admission gates will accommodate the arrival and exit of more than half of the game-day crowds, Milano said.
"We have to have it safe for people to walk in and walk out. It's not an option -- it has to be done," he said.
Barbour said close to 30,000 season tickets have been sold, generating more than $1 million of revenue beyond the total for season tickets in 2011, when Cal played at AT&T Park.
Final figures for the fiscal quarter that ended June 30 on Endowment Seating Program (ESP) sales for Field Club, Stadium Club and University Club seats are not yet available, Cal officials said.
Sales of those tickets on a 50-year basis are targeted to eventually pay about $270 million of the debt for the privately funded project. As of March 31, ESP sales had generated only $35 million.
But Barbour expects a surge in sales once fans are exposed to the new University Club-level seating along the top of the west press box. Those high-end seats will be covered but outdoors and offer views of the bay from a deck on the backside.
"I'm confident that when people actually touch it, see it, smell it, experience it, there's going to be a lot of interest," Barbour said.
By Sept. 1, a stadium that was originally opened in 1923 will have new life breathed into it.
"I don't think any of us could have dreamed that it would be any better than this," Barbour said.

Wednesday's letters

Last Modified: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
Beware of mind control
Opinions expressed by tea party supporters like Monday's letter writer ("Who are the extremists?") are nothing more than a rehash of the Fox echo chamber, and evidence of the mind control its corporate sponsors exercise in order to keep Americans deeply divided.
The writer suggests that those who use words like "anarchists," "hostage takers" and "racists" need to do some soul-searching. It might be a good idea for the writer to examine the actions of tea party members on Capitol Hill and her own prejudices and grasp of American history, economics and politics, as well as her own attitudes, before reaching any conclusions about the accuracy of using those terms in context.
The tea party agenda is driven by think tanks and various political entities like Freedom Works and Americans for Prosperity, which are funded by wealthy corporate owners like the Koch brothers, whose interests are worlds apart from those of the letter writer and her compatriots.
It is very sad that earnest people with real concerns about the direction this country is heading are assisting in the destruction of the people's power to decide America's fate. We need to stop buying in to the corporate rhetoric and start seeking information based on facts, and relying on the ideas and opinions of reliable, knowledgeable authorities, rather than political hacks on TV.
Until mutual trust and a degree of human compassion enter the American political arena, the only winners will be the Kochs and their ilk.
Millison Brace
Call for unity, not abuse
It is so easy to call people abusive names -- "thugs," et al. -- and then charge them as being radicals, all of them. To be honest, the people who are radical are the ones doing the name-calling ("The tea party monster," Tuesday's Herald-Tribune).
I am not a tea party member, nor do I endorse many of their activities, but to call them "thuggish" and add a lot of abusive statements, when I doubt the writer even knows the folks she is writing about, is hurtful and meaningless.
The last I heard, we may still have freedom of speech. I ask all to be creative in calling for unity, instead of driving us further apart with polarizing remarks. Yes, you have the right, but common sense should point us toward coming together, not breaking apart.
This is a great country and we have to protect it, not condemn it. So please, when writing comments against others, think of ways to modify the point and not tear asunder our country.
Gerald Feeney
Bring halt to spending
The U.S. government is unable to pay existing bills without increasing the national debt every year. I think it is time to stop increasing the national debt and start living within our means.
We need some tough love regarding expenditures. We have to quit spending more than we make. We need professional accountants, not politicians, doing the yearly budget. Politicians in Washington are out of control.
Larry Dorman
Besieged by robocalls
As culture vultures, we take full advantage of Sarasota's many offerings during the months we live here: We subscribe to opera live and Met broadcasts, attend concerts and are active in the splendid Jazz Club.
But to our dismay, one cultural pearl -- we attended two fine cabaret shows with talented entertainers last year -- has begun sending out robocalls listing the current season's repertoire. More than seven times, our home phone has been besieged by them.
For us, this is an abuse of the information we naively proffered when purchasing tickets. Is this the noisy future of marketing? If so, we will reconsider what we reveal when purchasing tickets in the future. (The robocalls, incidentally, lessen our desire to attend their future productions.)
Ellen and Svend Asmussen
ACA not affordable
Apparently the idea behind the Affordable Care Act was that our federal government could manage health care better than anyone else. So far the website, healthcare.gov, has cost three times as much as anticipated and is not working.
I sincerely doubt that the companies responsible will be punished, or for that matter go unpaid. I can only imagine that they will be equally adept at managing the plans should they ever get the website fixed.
Last week, I got a notice from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida that the health care plan that I pay for myself cannot be renewed due to changes forced by the Affordable Care Act, but rather I would be transferred into a new plan that incorporates all the mandated changes. And, that plan will only cost 75 percent more than I am now paying.
Where is the "affordable" part?

Agree to disagree
Karl Marx claimed religion is the opiate of the masses. Actually, it is religion that brought hope to the masses through good government, hospitals, universities, music, the arts and works of charity.
Leaders who have combined humility, justice and truth with a courageous use of their God-given talents have led this cause. America has been blessed because of it. And one of the great results is that we have learned to peacefully agree to disagree with one another.
We need to continue to have a huge dose of this today in all facets of our society. We can be thankful that's what the Founding Fathers had in mind in giving us our representative form of government with its checks and balances.

Kristof Shane placed third in the Pride Superstar singing competition and picked up a wave of new fans charmed by his pop-star voice, looks and charisma. Now he's building on that momentum with an original single.
Take a listen above to "It's Been Awhile," a simmering, sexy track that calls to mind Usher and Justin Timberlake (with more of a hip-hop edge). It's a free download, too.
He debuted the song during the recent Pride Festival and is planning more live performances in the coming months, along with more music and a video. He started recording reworked pop covers late last year.
The young singer is also one of five finalists in the BackstageOL.com Kickstart Your Band competition. The winner performs July 12 as part of the Houston Symphony's Day of Music festival and gets recording time at SugarHill Studios.

Brief Summary
There are six living species of nautilus. They are called "living fossils" because they have existed for about 550 million years. Nautiluses live in shells that are divided into chambers. As they grow, they move into a new, larger chamber and close the old one.

Nautilus (genus)
Nautilus is a genus of cephalopods in the family Nautilidae. Species in this genus differ significantly in terms of morphology from those placed in the sister taxon Allonautilus.[1] The oldest fossils of the genus are known from the Late Eocene Hoko River Formation, in Washington State and from Late-Eocene to Early Oligocene sediments in Kazakhstan.[2] The oldest fossils of the modern species Nautilus pompilius are from Early Pleistocene sediments off the coast of Luzon in the Philippines.[2]
The common term nautilus usually refers to any extant members of the Nautilidae family.
Extinct species are denoted with a dagger (†).

Olive Garden Seafood Portofino - Lower Fat!
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 15 mins
This is a good slimmed down version of Olive Garden's Seafood Portofino copycat. It doesn't come out quite as buttery flavored, but it is still super creamy and flavorful. If you like, add some other veggies to this sauce. I think that broccoli and peas are both great with this!
Ingredients Nutrition
Portofino Sauce
- 2 ounces light butter
- 1⁄4 cup yellow onion, 1/4-inch dice
- 10 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup clam juice
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1⁄2 pint fat-free half-and-half
- 1 ounce shrimp stock (try Shrimp Stock)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb mushroom
- 1 lb linguine, precooked (hot)
- fresh parsley
- 2 lbs shrimp
- 1 lb crawfish
- 1 lb scallops
- 60 mussels
- 1 -2 cup peas (optional) or 1 -2 cup broccoli (optional)
- Start by getting your ingredients ready. Dice the onion.
- Melt butter on medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes until onion is soft.
- Add white wine. Turn up heat to high until boiling then back down to medium. Cook 5 minutes on medium.
- Stir in clam juice, shrimp stock, and Old Bay Seasoning.
- Stir together milk and half-and-half. Add cornstarch to this mixture, 1 tablespoon at first. Stir milk mixture in slowly, allowing the sauce to thicken. Add about half at first, slowly, while stirring.
- If you'd like a thicker sauce, add more cornstarch to milk mixture. Continue to add milk mixture slowly, making sure that sauce is the desired thickness.
- The sauce is now ready! It can be store for up to one week in the refrigerator. I like to freeze it in ice cube trays and use whenever I like.
- Seafood Portofino:.
- Heat oil in saute pan over medium flame. Put mushrooms inches Cook 2 minutes.
- Add mussels, and cook 30 seconds.
- Add shrimp, crawfish, and scallops. Cook until heated through, stirring.
- Add portofino sauce; cook until bubbling throughout.
- Move mushrooms and seafood to one side of pan. Add linguine to other side. Using tongs, coat pasta with sauce (mussels should be open).
Most Helpful
This recipe is delicious - although I made with full blown flavor rather than skim milk etc, oh my gosh, it's wonderful! I used mussels and shrimp as the only seafood, but it was still sooooo good. Enjoy!
My wife and I made this on the w/e and it is one of her favorite dishes at Olive Garden. I don't like it as much as her and prefer a thicker sauce. My wife really liked it but I dont think we will make it again unless it is for her and her friends.
I've never had the olive garden's version but if it tastes anything like this recipe I know I'll love it! I reduced this recipe in half and it still made quite a bit- can't wait for lunch tomorrow. I used extra scallops and shrimp in place of the mussles and crawfish as my grocer did not carry them. My sauce was a little thin so I made a little slurry with an additional 1/2 tsp. of cornstarch mixed with 2 T. water. If you enjoy seafood you will love this pasta!

The Golden Compass
by Philip Pullman
The Golden Compass Chapter 4 Summary
The Alethiometer
- At dinner Lyra is entranced by Mrs. Coulter's glitz and glamour. Unlike other female scholars, she's beautiful and wears fancy clothes. Lyra tells her about the adventure with the skulls, and Mrs. Coulter asks if Lyra likes danger.
- Mrs. Coulter mentions having met Lord Asriel, and it turns out that she's an explorer too. She has been in Greenland studying the Aurora. Lyra is rapt.
- After dinner the Master asks to see Lyra in his study, where he gives her a speech about growing up and how it's time for her to learn things that Jordan College can't teach her. She needs female companionship and influence.
- Lyra doesn't want to leave the college, but the Master tells her it will be Mrs. Coulter who takes her away. Lyra is psyched to get to hang out more with the fancy lady, as is Pantalaimon.
- The Master smiles. Though it kind of looks like a "sad grimace" (4.43), Lyra doesn't notice.
- Mrs. Coulter comes in and tells Lyra that she'll be leaving with her and working as her assistant. Lyra will have a lot to learn – about exploring, mathematics, and geography. Lyra is really excited.
- After Lyra and Pan finally fall asleep, Mrs. Lonsdale wakes the girl up. It's still dark, but the Master wants to see Lyra. Lyra is to sneak to the window of the study and tap, and he'll let her in.
- Lyra meets with the Master. We get the feeling that he doesn't think she should go with Mrs. Coulter, but that he "can't prevent it" (4.72). He gives her a beautiful golden compass called an alethiometer.
- The Master tells Lyra that the compass "tells you the truth," and that she'll have to figure out for herself how to read it (4.78). He says Lord Asriel gave it to the College, and that she is to hide it from Mrs. Coulter.
- The Master is about to say something else, but he's cut off by a knock at the door. Lyra hurries back to her room, where she is dressed and sent to leave with Mrs. Coulter.
- As she's leaving, Lyra remembers Roger, her kidnapped best friend. (Oh yeah, Roger!) Lyra figures Mrs. Coulter can help her find him.
- Lyra and Mrs. Coulter fly away in a posh Zeppelin. In London they go to Mrs. Coulter's apartment (called a "flat"), which is beautiful and frilly. Even the bathroom is amazing, with hot water and pink soap.
- Lyra is careful about the alethiometer, but she feels torn. Should she tell Mrs. Coulter? The Master said no, but she's Mrs. Coulter seems so kind and wise.
- Lyra goes to lunch with Mrs. Coulter at the Royal Arctic Institute, where she sees many elderly explorers. Mrs. Coulter shows her tons of cool artifacts from various expeditions.
- Next up, shopping. Lyra has never had anything new before, and Mrs. Coulter pays for everything. It's pretty awesome.
- When they get home Lyra takes a bath, and Mrs. Coulter gently washes her hair (unlike the harsh Mrs. Lonsdale). Pan looks away as she is bathed.
- Lyra snuggles down in bed, but Pan asks where the "thing" is (4.115). Lyra pulls out the alethiometer.
- It's like a clock with a face and three winding wheels that turn three short hands. Lyra can control them to arrange a series of pictures on the compass: like an angel, helmet, or a dolphin.
- There is one needle, though, that's longer than the rest and swings around at random.
- Lyra plays with the compass. She can't quite figure it out but still admires it. She and Pan discuss whether they should give the alethiometer to Asriel or not. They can't decide.
- Mrs. Coulter comes by and asks Lyra to put the light out. Lyra does and tucks the alethiometer underneath her pillow.

High-accuracy branch prediction is crucial for high-performance processors. Inspired by the work on indexing functions to eliminate conflict-misses in memory hierarchy, this paper explores different indexing approaches to reduce conflict aliasing in branch-prediction tables. Our results show that indexing functions provide a highly complexity-effective way to enhance prediction accuracy.

By REP. GREG STUMBO, Speaker
Kentucky House of Representatives
When it comes to solving the big issues of the day, President Eisenhower had it right when he said, "If you can't solve a problem, enlarge it."
In a month where we often turn on the air conditioning during the day but the heat at night, it seems appropriate that October has been set aside nationally to raise awareness of our energy needs.
This annual designation began nearly a quarter-century ago and gives us an opportunity to especially highlight renewable fuels and energy conservation, twin areas where Kentucky routinely gets high marks.
Dear Readers,
When applying for the position of Trimble County superintendent, I was very pleased when doing my research, I found the following as the district's mission and vision statement:
Our Mission:
It's About Every Student, Every Day… No Excuses
Our Vision:
The Trimble County School District will develop graduates who are College and Career Ready.
Our Belief Statements:
This We believe….
-A student's success is the responsibility of students, teachers, parents, and community.
Several times a week I pass a church that has a sign board out front advertising confessions on Saturdays.
I confess that when I was a kid I went to a church that had confession booths, only I thought behind the dark wooden doors was either a broom closet or it was where they kept the devil.
Kids think crazy things, don't they?
When I was 7 or so I got to go behind the wooden doors and confess my sins, which mostly consisted of being mean to my sister and brothers and disobeying my parents.
With less than a month to the November 3, 2015 General Election, it is important for all Kentuckians there are five important constitutional offices on the ballot. Many people do not realize these positions can have more direct impact on the well-being of Kentuckians than those officials who go to Washington, D.C.
For nearly a decade now, Kentucky has made significant progress when it comes to reducing the number of traffic fatalities in the state. Totals that topped 900 annually between 2002 and 2006 dropped to 638 in 2013, a number not seen since the late 1940s.
That downward trend, unfortunately, has begun to move in the other direction. Last year's total was 34 higher than 2013's, and through the first week of this month, we're 58 ahead of the same point 12 months ago.
"In agriculture, you don't make plants grow, you create conditions for growth. Manufacturing focuses on the yield. Successful farmers focus on the soil. Plants grow themselves."
----Sir Ken Robinson
For the past few months we've been taking care of our youngest daughter's two cats, Mohawk and Target, while our daughter spends some time with my sister in California.
They're both gray tabby cats, each about 10 years old.
My husband calls Mohawk "Hawkeye" or "Hawk" and I've nicknamed Target "the weasel" because he's long and he slinks through the house like I imagine a weasel would.
Lately, we've noticed another cat hanging around, white with butterscotch coloring.

Man killed after walking into highway
PATEROS — A man who walked into a highway was killed early Sunday morning when he was struck by a passing ambulance, according to the State Patrol.
Kevin M. Lang, 20, of Philadelphia, was pronounced dead at the scene along Highway 97 about one mile south of Pateros. Lang was walking south along the shoulder of the highway about 3:10 a.m. and the Lifeline ambulance was driving north, according to the report. The ambulance was not on an emergency call and did not have a patient on board, said State Patrol spokesman Darren Wright.
