At this time of the year, many college and high school football teams compete against traditional Thanksgiving opponents. We call them rivalry games, contests that are played for "bragging rights" and even, in rare cases, for league championships.
The advent of playoffs has diminished these games over the years. In college ball, radical reformers want to take it one step farther, creating a national championship for Division I teams that would completely dilute the meaning of bowl games while also extending the season deep into January or even into the first weekend of February.
The radicals have been losing this power struggle with the traditionalists, college executives who realize there's a lot of money to be made from bowl games. The traditionalist doesn't want to kill the golden goose by adding two more games on to the end of an already elongated (and bloated) bowl season. That's why we still don't have a true national championship college playoff on the field. Too many schools and bowls and TV networks are making too much money off the current system to risk diluting the final product.
In high school ball, if you buy the idea that Thanksgiving games are bowl games for the players, then you must appreciate that these holiday contests have also been diluted by the playoffs. Unless one of the participating teams in a Thanksgiving game needs to qualify for the playoffs, there is very little meaning to these Thanksgiving games. Or if there is meaning, it's only for one team. No wonder high school crowds for Thanksgiving games have diminished over the years.
We saw several scenarios play out this week in Thanksgiving games that fell somewhat short of all-out competition between two teams.
In the first scenario, we had games where one team was in the playoffs and the other was out. That created an emotional edge for the underdog. We saw this occur in Shea's 14-7 win over unbeaten Division II-B champion Tolman. Both teams played hard and wanted to win but the Raiders were desperate for victory while the Tigers could be forgiven for looking at the big picture and saving something for the next round of the playoffs.
Same thing happened in St. Raphael's 30-6 loss to Johnston. This one also had a subplot of payback for the Panthers because the Saints had knocked them out of the playoffs two weeks earlier. Revenge is a dish best served cold. That's what the Panthers served up at McCoy Stadium to a Saints team that can't wait to play Tolman on Tuesday night in the Division II semifinals.
Two more of these "underdog" games ended in contrasting fashion. Cumberland could hold its collective heads held high after playing powerful Woonsocket to a near standstill for three quarters. The Clippers' defense held Woonsocket to an unbelievably low total of 64 yards in total offense. Of course, the Novans' defense made victory possible by posting its sixth shutout of the season in a 14-0 win, seven of the points coming thanks to Pepe Torres's 70-yard interception return in the fourth quarter.
North Smithfield, heading to the first playoffs in school football history, played with a lot of purpose and emotion during a 44-6 rout of hapless Scituate. The Northmen are probably a special case because they are on a historic mission this year. Coach Wes Pennington and his staff have turned a losing program around. The players are loving every minute of their new-found prosperity. This attitude makes them a very dangerous underdog heading into Tuesday's playoff game at Exeter/West Greenwich.
East Providence had a little bit to play for against La Salle, knowing a victory would send it on the road to second-seeded Portsmouth in the Division I playoffs while a loss would place the Townies at the home field of unbeaten Hendricken on Tuesday night. The Townies lost a 14-7 verdict to a desperate La Salle team that stood on the verge of missing the state playoffs for the first time in 11 years.
Nobody's saying that these playoff-bound teams didn't try their best to win. But any football coach will tell you that emotion plays a large role in the outcome of games. Emotionally "flat" teams usually don't prevail against an evenly-matched opponent.
You've got to be pretty good to win when the emotional advantage rests with the other team. That happened on Wednesday night when Division III playoff semifinalist Lincoln edged Division IV Central Falls, which played gallantly in a 27-20 season-ending loss to the Lions, who will face Moses Brown in Tuesday's semifinals.
And then there's the case of Burrillville, a team that should have made the Division III playoffs, but fell victim to Murphy's Law. The Broncos wrapped up a 7-4 season with an impressive 21-0 win over a solid Ponaganset squad. Burrillville lost 4 games by a combined 11 points this season. The Broncos were beset by injuries that cost them the services of at least two key players for long stretches. They also understand injuries are part of the game and cannot be controlled or eliminated just to make things fair.
Knowing they had one last chance to do something good for themselves, the Broncos came out on Thursday morning and played nearly a perfect game against the Chieftains, sending their seniors off with a sweet taste in their mouths. In a sense, this was Burrillville's playoff game.
The playoffs still remain the No. 1 goal for every high school team, and this is as it should be. Three nights from now, nobody will have an emotional edge. Each team will either win or go home. The winners advance to the Holy Grail of football – the Super Bowl – next weekend. That's where champions are crowned. On the field. Nothing wrong with that.

PARISHVILLE - The Colton-Pierrepont varsity softball team got the early lead and made it stand for an 8-4 NAC East Division win over Parishville-Hopkinton on Tuesday at the Parishville Firemens Field.
Sabrina Johnson went the distance for the win as the Lady Colts pushed across four runs in their first at-bat. Johnson finished with seven strikeouts and didnt walk a batter to gain the decision over Nicole White who had two strikeouts and two walks taking the loss.
Andrea Aldous paced C-P offensively going 2-3 with three runs scored. Kathryn Miller singled twice and scored a run. Morgan Doyle went 1-3 with two runs scored while Johnson singled and came round to score once.
Kodi Perkins highlighted the Lady Panthers offense with a double and runs scored. Marlee Wilson rapped a double. Caitlin McGregor, Mary Conventry and Monica Votra had the other P-H hits while Jenna Converse scored the other run.
C-P (4-1) returns to action this Saturday at the Hermon-DeKalb Tournament where it opens against the host team at 10 a.m. while P-H is slated to host East Division rival St. Lawrence Central on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
C-P 20, Tupper Lake 2: At Tupper Lake on Monday, Doyle went 4-for-4 with a triple, a homerun and five runs scored. Teammate Kylie McKinley went 3-for-4 while Aldous was 3-for-5 with a homerun.
Tupper Lake was led by Lizzie Zurek and Jesse Weigand, who each went 1-for-2 with one run scored.
Sabrina Johnson struckout 10 in the win. Zurek was saddled with the loss with five strikeouts. In the other East Division game on Tuesday, Chateaugay beat Tupper Lake 11-3 while West Division matchups saw Lisbon outscore Morristown 9-7, Heuvelton handle Clifton-Fine 24-7 and Edwards-Knox stop Hermon-DeKalb 13-10 while Hammond split a double-header with Harrisville, winning the first game 20-11 and dropping the second 17-6.
Chateuagay 11, Tupper Lake 3: In Chateaugay, the Lady Bulldogs scored in every inning but one en route to improving their record to 2-0 on the young season.
Courtney Boyea picked up the victory while allowing just three hits, all in the seventh inning, while striking out 11. Boyea did not issue a walk but did hit one Lumberjack batter.
Hannah Cook led off the home half of the first with a single and moved around to third on an outfield error. Cook trotted home as Boyea laced a one-out, RBI single with Boyea crossing the plate as Felicity Niles ripped an RBI double. Katie Secore and Gaby LaFleur scored the Bulldogs third and fourth runs of the inning, respectively, as Chateaugay was on the move offensively, sending 11 batters to the dish in the opening frame.
Chateaugay capped its second victory of the season with a two-run seventh with Abby Barnes and Danielle Cook reaching base and coming around to score the insurance runs.
Tupper Lake (0-2 in league play, 0-3 overall) broke the no-hit bid of Boyea in the final frame. Jesse Weigand lofted a one-out triple to right and scored on a double off the bat of losing pitcher Lizzy Zurek. Zurek came around to score the final Tupper Lake run as Sidney Kulzer ripped a shot up the middle, then was stranded at third as the Boyea picked up her 11th strikeout of the game with Rachael Young snarring the final out on a pop fly.

The North Country Regional Economic Development Council today announced the City of Watertown has been awarded a $585,000 grant to help fund a $2.5 million capital improvement project at its wastewater treatment plant to comply with requirements by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The project, which will receive the grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, includes a range of plant improvements that will make sewage disposal processes more efficient, reduce consumption of fossil fuels, increase biogas produced by the plants anaerobic digesters and reduce the volume of solid waste disposed at the regional landfill. The modifications are projected to save the city more than $250,000 annually through a combination of electricity savings and reduction in fuel oil consumption. The project will eliminate the need for the city to purchase more than 28,000 gallons of fuel oil per year.
Anthony G. Collins, who serves as the councils co-chair, lauded the citys project for creating jobs and making the plant sustainable for the future.
Projects like this recognize that we need to invest in clean-energy sources as well as address an aging infrastructure to support additional development, he said in a statement. I commend the City of Watertown for its commitment to environmental awareness and fiscal responsibility that benefits the entire community and drives new job growth.
Upon design completion, plant modifications will include replacing the existing sewage sludge incinerator with enhanced anaerobic digestion. The process will also eliminate the need for auxiliary fuel at the incinerator and the hauling of incinerator ash residue to the landfill.
Anaerobic digestion is a clean-energy process that produces biogas, which can be used to generate electricity or other sources of power. Organic waste is placed in a sealed container and broken down by bacteria into a biogas predominately comprised of methane, the primary constituent of natural gas.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said the funding awarded by the state played a critical role needed to set the project in motion. The funding comes at a time when the city, like other municipalities, has been challenged to pass a balanced budget.
But for the assistance provided, our project simply would not have moved forward, Mr. Graham said in a statement. When ultimately completed, the project will significantly reduce Watertowns wastewater treatment plants carbon footprint by eliminating incinerator air emissions and fuel oil consumption, enhancing digester natural gas production nearly ten-fold, and reducing total electrical demand of the wastewater facility on the regional grid by approximately 25 percent.

"Can you take Diamox if you get altitude sickness, or do you have to take it before as a preventative?"You can take it either way, but for those prone to AMS, prophylaxis saves some initial discomfort.Edited: I just read Bob's post. His advice about staying hydrated is on the mark, but that is good mountain policy in general. Diamox has a diuretic effect, and what goes out needs to be replaced.
Edited by ouzel on 02/19/2013 20:06:58 MST.
This is fantastic. You have put a lot of hard work into describing it for people.While many people could do this without resupply, there are others who can't or won't want to walk 15+ mile days, and WILL want a resupply. It might be helpful to list Kearsarge Pass/Onion Valley as the easiest resupply exit.- Elizabeth
Question about permitsIf I go clockwise, I'de get a permit for Copper Creek. I bet that's lower use. That would entitle me to do the entire loop?Would I be able to get a permit a few days after Labor Day or should I make a reservation?Is there any place near Roads End where I could camp out over night?Then I could just get up the next morning and pick up my permit? They open at 7 AM.
I'm pretty familiar with Sequoia and Kings Canyon. They are administered as a single park."If I go clockwise, I'de get a permit for Copper Creek. I bet that's lower use. That would entitle me to do the entire loop?"Lots of backpackers want to go up Copper Creek simply because it is right there at Roads End. Unfortunately, it is quite an uphill march, so I would not recommend it to the faint of heart. Of course, if you try to start out over Avalanche Pass, it is even worse."Would I be able to get a permit a few days after Labor Day or should I make a reservation?"It's hard to say. Reservations are almost always more reliable."Is there any place near Roads End where I could camp out over night?"Yes, Cedar Grove is about six miles back down the road, and there are some big car campgrounds there."Then I could just get up the next morning and pick up my permit? They open at 7 AM."Yes and no. Lots of backpackers try to do it that way. They roll into one of the Cedar Grove campgrounds, spend the night, then drive up to Roads End at the crack of dawn. Then they discover a waiting line that has been forming at the permit station. Often the people waiting are striving to get into the walkup permit quota for the most popular trails, like the Rae Lakes Loop one way or the other.I have gotten excellent results by reserving my permit, and then picking it up in the afternoon the day before I actually start out. That also allows me to hit the trail at 6:00 a.m. while it is cool and not wait until 7:30 or 8:00 like the waiting line people do.Yes, one permit will allow you to travel the entire loop. Technically, if you leave the loop and go to town for resupply, you will need a new permit to re-start there. Some people have devised good methods for legally working around that.--B.G.--
Edited by --B.G.-- on 02/22/2013 17:39:04 MST.
Thanks Bob (and Amy and...)They close at like 2:45PM so I'de almost have to leave a day earlier because it takes two days to drive there (14 hours) oh well, maybe I could go further the first day and get up early the second day to get to the permit station well before 2:45PM.Are there vacancies in Cedar Grove campgrounds?Another thing, do you really have to carry out your toilet paper? Not that big a deal - two zip bags - I've become acustomed to draining the poop tank in my RV which has to be way worse - but sort of weird.Maybe I should wait a week after Labor Day and start on the next Sunday or something.
"Are there vacancies in Cedar Grove campgrounds?"Yes and no, as you would expect. I generally make a point of arriving on some weekday away from the holidays. I try to arrive there early, about the time that others are leaving, 9-11 a.m., so I always score a site. If you are picky or have an RV, then there might not be so many perfect spots. There are black bears that prowl around those campgrounds, and they will steal your dinner in the blink of an eye. Then they run across the river to make your pursuit unlikely.I generally try to arrive early like that and spend the rest of that day doing some short easy hiking. That may help with altitude adjustment.I believe that the permit station ranger makes the same statements about toilet paper. I won't tell you what to do. Let's just say that some backpackers have gotten used to burning up their used toilet paper and then burying the remaining ashes in the hole. Besides, backpacker's toilet paper is very thin and produces very little ash when it is burned.--B.G.--
What??? You make a fire in the Sierras??? I would think that wouldn't be such a good idea.
"What??? You make a fire in the Sierras???"Surely you jest. I never said that I made a fire.There are some places where wood fires are forbidden. There are some places where all open fires are forbidden. There are places where there are legal fire rings, and you are forbidden from constructing any new fire rings. There are some times of the year when lots of stuff is forbidden. You just have to be aware of the rules in effect for the time and place you planned.--B.G.--
Cool info on some great hiking ideas. Coming in from the east, I really like the ability to basically find an access trail, and then make that my start/finish point on the loop. That could save a ton of time with regards to driving time. Thanks for the ideas!
This is a great thread. A resupply near the midpoint is possible using Sequoia Kings Pack Train on the JMT at the Kearsarge Pass junction. They only require a 1/2 day to get to that point so the billing is only a one day use of packer and mule. I've used their service 4 years now. (I do the JMT annually, will be doing my 6th this summer. I've done the High Sierra Trail for 7 years prior to that.)Another option is you can do the High Sierra Trail as a lasso-loop round trip that is around 150 miles long, nearly the same length as what you show. It enables a resupply at Lone Pine, via HorseShoe Meadow Trailhead (less costly than use of the Packers at the Kearsarge Pass junction). I've done it. Great hike.Start in Crescent Meadows in SEKI.At Kern River meetup on the High Sierra Trail (HST), go downriver, not upriver (as the HST states), go downriver 9 miles to Kern Canyon Ranger Station where there is a suspension bridge over the river.Cross river, go east about 18 miles to Horseshoe Meadows TH, resupply via Lone Pine (Whitney SHuttle Service or hitchhike from TH to Lone Pine), stay overnight in Dow Villa, enjoy hot spa, and get back to Horseshoe Meadows TH before 24 hours has elapsed to avoid losing your permit. Get back onto trail but head north on the PCT up to Crabtree Meadows. From there go up to Whitney Summit and Back, then head back to Crescent Meadows via the normal HST route, and you'll get back to the Kern River junction where you originally went downriver, but now you'll stay on the HST to get back to Crescent Meadows. Great hike. You'd need two maps Tom Harrison SEKI/Whitney high country map and the Golden Trout Wilderness map from Tom Harrison.Advantage of this hike is that you end up where you started, easier to deal with logistics. There is a shuttle bus from Crescent Meadows to Lodgepole, and from there to Visalia, CA where there is a small airport or buses to major airports.
To echo the sentiments of others, this is a fantastic thread and one of the reasons I rejoined BPL as a forum member. I would chime in here that during last year's early season hike of the JMT (when we ran into a ton of PCT thru-hikers headed north), I couldn't help but think that there had to be other spectacular routes that would provide far more solitude in the Sierra. I started researching routes this winter with the idea of returning again in a few years. Lo and behold Amy did a lot of this work for us!I agree with Roleigh on the importance of logistics. The loop aspect of this hike is very appealing (as are the cross country opportunities) primarily because you can save a lot of time and effort at the end of the trip. Leaving via the east side of the Sierra presents logistical challenges that can extend the time it takes to return home. The ETA, for example, doesn't run buses on weekends. Thank you for this thread, Amy. Great work!Dirk
You don't need Google Earth to view KML (or KMZ) files, if the file is posted on a public web site like Amy's.Just paste the address of the KML into the Google Maps Search box and press Return.You'll get something like this:Some KML files are too complex to view this way, but most work fine.Great loop, you've got me thinking, thanks!-- Rex
Edited by Rex on 11/15/2013 20:09:27 MST.
Daniel sent a PM asking about access from the east side instead of from the west side. The loop could be done by coming in from any east side trailhead. The disadvantage is that you end up crossing the road at Cedar Grove in the middle of the hike, so it breaks up an otherwise fantastic backcountry hike. But, if it's easier to get to the east side from your home, and you don't mind a road crossing in the middle of the trip, then you could access the loop from the east side.Any of these passes would give direct access: Bishop Pass, Taboose Pass, Sawmill Pass, Baxter Pass, Kearsarge Pass, Shepherd Pass, Whitney Portal, New Army Pass, or Cottonwood/Siberian Pass. Some are longer or harder hikes to get to the loop (Shepherd has lots of elevation gain and New Army is further distance). Some are easier to get permits. Some see less trail maintenance and might be a bit thrashy (Baxter, Sawmill, and as of a 2013 storm Shepherd). If you go to the CalTopo view (http://caltopo.com/map?id=027E) and change the map layer (upper right) to NPS Visitor Maps all of these access points are clear, except Baxter Pass which is not labeled on the NPS map.

"Some are longer or harder hikes to get to the loop (Shepherd has lots of elevation gain and New Army is further distance)."Anyone contemplating using Shepherd Pass would do well to contact the Eastern Sierra Interagency Visitor Center (760) 876-6222 to check on the progress, if any, toward repairing the massive damage the trail sustained after heavy July, 2013, rainfall. All 4 crossings of Symmes Creek were washed out, and there are numerous washouts of the trail below Anvil Camp, including a 20-30' deep washout just below Anvil Camp. There are also several washouts on the headwall. If this damage is not repaired before your trip, it will turn an already difficult approach/resupply into a real ordeal.The Sawmill Pass trail also sustained damage, but was still hikeable when we came down it last September.Edited for content after refreshing my memory. The sign, above, is posted at the TH.
Edited by ouzel on 02/07/2014 15:50:06 MST.
Thanks Tom for the heads-up. The 2013 damage to Shepherd Pass Trail, and also problems with Baxter Pass and Sawmill Pass trails are described on the SEKI Trail Conditions page. I added a link to the page to the original post, making it easier for people to find it.
"The 2013 damage to Shepherd Pass Trail, and also problems with Baxter Pass and Sawmill Pass trails are described on the SEKI Trail Conditions page."Thanks for the link, Amy. The damage to the Shepherd Pass trail is even worse than the TH sign indicated. That is very bad news for me, as I use it a lot. Sawmill was pretty chewed up last fall, and I suspect it will be even worse after spring runoff, even if it is low. The Forest Service/NPS are way too short of funds to make much progress in repairing damage of that magnitude. When I talked to them last September, they were not even aware of the damage to Sawmill, 3 months after the July flash floods. They simply didn't have the personnel to regularly patrol the trails. I doubt much has changed since then. Hard times all up and down the East side. :(
Tom, do you know of any source of updated information on these trail problems at Shepherd, Baxter, Sawmill, Taboose?I generally find the national park service web site to be inadequate or late for these trail conditions outside the parks. Since it is all national forest, it would be neat if we could find our way to some planning or progress reports. This assumes that they will jump on it early in the season. I ask, because I had plans there for mid-season.--B.G.--
"Tom, do you know of any source of updated information on these trail problems at Shepherd, Baxter, Sawmill, Taboose?"I'd give the East Sierra Interagency Visitors Center a call, Bob. The guy I talked with was a serious type who actually gets out in the field, and had been up Sawmill a couple of weeks before the July storms that caused the washouts. I can't remember his name now, but if you could ask around there for someone like him, you'd likely get as much information as is available. When I reported the washout(s) on Sawmill, he took it all down and immediately sent a report in while I was there, along with a request to send someone out to evaluate the damage. Apparently they did, because it's now on the website Amy linked us to. Another possibility would be to post inquiries on highsierratopix.com later this year and see if anyone who has been up there recently responds. I share your concerns about timely information, as my plans for this year are also potentially impacted. IIRC, you are planning something to do with Baxter. As you probably know, it is not well maintained under normal circumstances and, if it has sustained any damage, will likely not be very high on the USFS priority list. My guess would be that Shepherd Pass will be first in line, as it has become increasingly popular in the last few years. Sawmill, like Baxter, doesn't see a lot of use but, if it doesn't sustain further damage this spring, will probably be hikeable, and would put you on the JMT not too far north of Dollar Lake. Sawmill Pass is a really pretty route, BTW, especially the Woods Creek drainage on the west side.
"I'd give the East Sierra Interagency Visitors Center a call"I don't normally deal with them there except when it is time to pick up a Whitney permit, and I wasn't aware that they had much staffing except during the summer. However, it may be the only game in town.Unfortunately, the whole permit reservation system has everything wide open for summer. That would be a bummer to be sitting on a reservation for months and then to go to pick up the permit and find out that the trail is closed.--B.G.--
I am intrigued by this route. Thanks go out to Amy and others who have added comments. It looks great in so many ways.I do have a few questions that I should probably research myself but in case someone has done so already and can answer with minimal effort I'll ask a couple questions.The route description says that no resupply is required, but does that mean no resupply is easily and cheaply available? I really much prefer to keep my resupply intervals to 4 days or less when possible and would like to have the option of taking it easy at times if I don't feel like pushing enough to manage 15 mile days every day. If necessary I might bite the bullet and go with no resupply and or push for longer days, but it sure would be nice to have a lighter pack and the option of not having to do super long days.On a related topic, what are the bear canister requirements for the route? Required for the whole route? Just parts of it? If not required to use an approved canister, I'd consider either a Ursack or a counterbalance hang.If resupply is available it becomes easier for me to deal with the caniser issue since I would then be able to use my smaller canister and smaller pack.

LOUISVILLE – The St. Lawrence River Valley Redevelopment Agency has approved repairs to its Massena industrial parks.
The repairs will include patching the roof and vent leaks, replacing doors, repairing plumbing and heating units and an electric inspection. The repairs are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The River Agency approved a bid by Danko Construction Corporation, Norfolk, on Tuesday to do the repairs for approximately $140,000.
The approved improvements will attract more tenants, River Agency members said. St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency Deputy CEO and Chief Financial Officer Thomas A. Plastino said the improvements will make the properties more marketable, competitive sites.
The River Agency applied for a grant for the total cost of repairs from the Regional Economic Development Council last year, but was notified in December that it will only receive a $60,000 reimbursement grant.
The River Agency will use $90,000 from its $12.2 million general fund to pay for the repairs. The agency purchased Lots 18 and 19 in the Massena Industrial Park, 12 Commerce Drive, in 2011, to use as a location for potential employers for $700,000. The River Agency has already spent $17,000 in repairs for the two lots. The industrial park has yielded $12,000 in profit for the agency.
Fockler Industries, an industrial and commercial machinery and equipment manufacturer, occupies 9,000 out of the 29,000 square feet of space in both lots.
Were still showing properties fairly regularly and still having discussions, but no signings yet, Richard Williams, Facilities Manager for the St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency, said. Were hoping this will change that.

When one-year-old Harry Potter's parents--a witch and a wizard--were killed by the evil Voldemort, Harry was sent to live with his "normal" aunt, uncle, and spoiled cousin. After spending eleven miserable years with this family, in which Harry was forced to sleep in a closet and was the brunt of his cousin's bullying, he learns that he is a wizard when he is unexpectedly accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Hogwarts, Harry makes many fine friends as well as a few dreaded enemies. While at school, Harry discovers that the Sorcerer's Stone is hidden there, the stone that will enable Voldemort to create a body of his own and gain immortality. Rowling has created a fast-moving, magical tale replete with humor, adventure, suspense, mystery, and unforgettable characters that will enchant children and adults alike.

On March 26, 1953, Dr. Jonas Salk made a momentous announcement: He had invented a vaccine that would prevent a child from catching one of the most feared contagions at the time, poliomyelitis.
Today, with polio virtually unknown in the West (the last case in the U.S. occurred in 1979) it is difficult to imagine the panic that took place half a century ago when a child was diagnosed with the disease. Playmates were forbidden to visit. A swimming pool he used would be empty in the middle of the summer. Parents would worry for weeks that one of their children might become crippled for life.
I witnessed the awful consequences of the disease because a family friend was infected in childhood. For the rest of her life, Eleanor was forced to don a metal harness every morning. There was a metal girdle around her waist, with steel braces running down each leg, ending in a pair of heavy black shoes.
Wearing this device and using crutches, Ellie could make her way slowly from room to room. Without it, she was totally immobile. But Ellie was determined to have as normal a life as possible. She and her husband Ken adopted two children and did everything families did back then—go on picnics, play in the pool, participate in the PTA. In the 50-some years I knew Ellie Hawthorne, I never heard her complain about her infirmity.
Thinking back on what she endured it seems almost miraculous that, thanks to the pioneering work of Salk, Dr. Albert Sabin and their colleagues, most children today will never see a case of polio, much less be afflicted by it.
Salk refused to patent his discovery or receive any money for it. He insisted that, "like the sun," the vaccine should be free to everyone.

Common Core Data Mining & Testing
Joy Pullmann, an education research fellow at the Heartland Institute, talks with Duke Pesta regarding data mining and testing consortiums regarding Common Core.
- (Media / Who Owns Your Children? (The Dangers of Government as a Parent))
FreedomProject Education's Executive Director Alan Scholl discusses the change in direction, leadership, and intent of American Education. Mr. Scholl is currently accepting requests to deliver this speech live in your hometown. Email: email@example.com to inquire.
The collectivist-humanist philosophy has near-total control of federal, state, and local government schools, educators and agencies.
As a result, the traditional Judeo-Christian family-centered philosophy that built America is falling into disuse, faith and practice banned and attacked in schools, rewritten out of textbooks, and rejected and demonized by teachers, administrators, and teachers unions. How did the Bible, once the core of education in America, become "unsuitable?"
Have generations of students been "re-educated" rather than educated by the very institutions that parents have trusted to teach their children? What about massive changes like the so-called "Common Core State Standards?" Merely the latest fad, a cure, or dangerous indoctrination?
The rapid disintegration of American families and society is obvious. Many sense that we are speeding toward total government. Is this an "evolutionary trend" in education— or a sinister agenda? Watch and decide for yourself.

This video is a shortened version of a presentation with the same title that has been given before over 200 audiences in 26 states by Dr. Duke Pesta, English professor at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, and Academic Director, FreedomProject Education (FPEUSA.org).

Congressman Jim Matheson announced on Friday that a $1.7 million federal highway grant has been approved to improve safety and traffic flow on the highway now utilized by trucks hauling away the radioactive tailings pile near Moab.
Matheson said the U.S. Department of Transportation has released the discretionary grant award for work on US Highway 191. The purpose is to address issues associated with northbound traffic along the highway-heading north out of Moab-from the tailings site to the disposal cell at Crescent Junction. Proposed upgrades include signing, rumble strips and shoulder and intersection improvements.
"Moab is a major tourist destination and this highway is how tens of thousands of visitors come and go from their visits. It's important to help keep traffic moving and to prevent accidents with the large, slow trucks moving tailings from the old mill site to the rail spur loading area," said Matheson.

Remember your PIN for fueling purposes is not the same as any entry code that may be issued to you.
2. Pay Directly
If the vehicle does not contain a fuel card or you wish to use your own method of payment, Hertz will reimburse you for the cost of fuel needed to refuel the vehicle by issuing a credit to your payment card. To be reimbursed, email the Customer Care Center at firstname.lastname@example.com, attach a copy of your receipt to your email and note the mileage at the time of refueling in your email. A credit will be applied to the payment card in your profile within 48 hours of Hertz's receipt of your email. If the payment card used to refuel is not in your profile, please add it to your profile prior to emailing the Customer Care Center to request reimbursement.
- Where can I return the vehicle?
The vehicle must be returned to the same location in which it was picked up. Failure to return the vehicle to the correct location will result in you being charged an Incorrect Location Return Fee. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for more details.
- Can I reserve a vehicle in other countries and cities?

If the vehicle does not contain a fuel card or you wish to use your own method of payment, Hertz will reimburse you for the cost of fuel needed to refuel the vehicle by issuing a credit to your payment card. To be reimbursed, email the Customer Care Center at firstname.lastname@example.com, attach a copy of your receipt to your email and note the mileage at the time of refueling in your email.

It's all in the glove box. Wherever the road may take you, our Driver's Guide is there to help. Have a question about using the fuel card? Or how to extend a rental? It's all in the Driver's Guide. Just check the glove box for answers to our most frequently asked questions or, if it is safe to do so, contact Customer Care Center by using the screen pad on the dashboard to request a call back on the hands free, in-car communication system.
- How much does Hertz 24/7 cost?
Our hourly and daily rates include fuel, insurance, 180 miles per 24 hour period, and 24/7 roadside assistance. Although there is a PlatePlass® transponder unit available in each vehicle, toll charges are not included in your rate, and will be billed to you separately. See Tolls & PlatePass® for more information.
- How will I be charged?
To reserve a car, a valid credit or debit card number must be provided at time of enrollment. An authorization is required based on the estimated rental charges. In order to cover incidental charges, such as extra hour charges if the reservation is extended, we require credit approval for up to $140.00 over the total estimated rental charges. When you return your car after a rental, we will charge the credit or debit card you provided for the costs incurred for the rental. An invoice will be emailed to you at the close of each reservation and available for your review online by visiting 'My Account' and clicking on the 'Reservation History' tab and then 'Past Reservations/Receipts'. Any additional charges incurred such as tolls, damages, fines, etc. will be billed to you on a second invoice, separate from your rental charges.
- What methods of payment does Hertz 24/7 accept?
We accept all major credit cards, including American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Diners Club, Discover, JCB, Optima Amex and debit cards or check cards issued under a Visa or MasterCard logo that take funds directly from your bank account. The name on the credit card must match the name on the customer profile. Naturally, you will need to have available funds in your account for the estimated charges, plus up to $140 for any incidentals. Hertz 24/7 will not be liable for any overdraft charges, so it is up to you to ensure that you have sufficient funds in your account. Please note that we do not accept prepaid or store cards that have a Visa or MasterCard logo.
- What other charges might I receive?
For a listing of possible additional charges, see below.
Also, please do not smoke in the car, remember to leave the pets at home, and do not remove any of the car items in the car. If you have an accident or the car is damaged, just speak to the Customer Care Center once it is safe to do so.
- $0.45 cents per mile (after the first 180 miles) per 24 hour period that you keep the vehicle
- $20 entry card/fob replacement fee
- Up to a $40 fee will be charged for tickets and violations that have not been resolved on time, plus the cost of the ticket and/or violation
- $25 for returning a vehicle with less than ¼ tank of fuel at the end of the reservation (except for Miami-Dade County where the car must be returned with at least 1/2 tank).
- $45 for returning a vehicle to a location other than the location from which it was picked up
- $50 if a customer takes or loses a fuel card
- $200 for losing or taking an ignition key
- $45 cleaning fee if vehicle is not left clean and free of trash at end of rental
- $3.50 booking fee for reservations completed over the phone
- If the vehicle is returned late, a $10 charge will be incurred for every 15 minute period after the reserved return time
- If PlatePass is used, you will be charged a service fee of $4.95 for each day of your rental, including prior or subsequent days on which the PlatePass service is not used (capped at $24.75 per rental month) plus incurred tolls at the applicable Tolling Authority's highest undiscounted rate
- Why does Hertz 24/7 put a hold on my credit/debit card that is more than the estimated rental costs?
An authorization is required based on the estimated rental charges. In order to cover incidental charges, such as extra hour charges if the reservation is extended, we require credit approval for up to $140.00 over the total estimated rental charges. Approval for this additional amount cannot be waived. If authorization for the estimated amount cannot be obtained, the rental reservation will be denied.
Additional authorizations (holds) will also be obtained if the vehicle is not returned on the date/time noted on the Rental Agreement or if the original terms of the rental change which result in additional charges.
- I've returned the vehicle. Why is there still a hold on my credit/debit card?
When the car is returned, a charge for the total amount due is submitted to your credit card company. Depending on the credit card company, there may be a delay between the time the charges are received and when the hold is released. The length of time this takes is not determined by Hertz. Since the card issuer is responsible for releasing authorization holds/funds back to their customers' accounts, you must contact the card issuer directly for assistance.
- Can I smoke in a Hertz 24/7 rental car?
No. All Hertz 24/7 vehicles are smoke-free.
- Can I transfer my Hertz 24/7 access to anyone else?
No. Your vehicle access is yours and yours only. Allowing others to use your access is a violation of the membership agreement and could result in the loss of your vehicle access.
- Are there any fees for changing or canceling my reservation?
There are no fees for changing or canceling your reservation, as long as we are notified with at least five minutes notice before the start of your reservation. To modify or cancel your reservation online, visit 'My Account' and click 'Reservation History' to see your upcoming reservations. Then click the 'Change Booking' or 'Cancel Reservation' button to update your current reservation. To modify a reservation using the iPhone or Android app, tap 'Reservations' in the bottom menu and view 'Upcoming Reservations'. Tap the reservation you would like to modify and change information you would like to update or tap 'Cancel Reservation' to cancel your booking.
- Can I take pets in the vehicle?
With the exception of service animals, accompanying a driver or passenger with a disability, animals are not allowed in the vehicle at any time unless they are contained within an appropriate animal carrier. Animals too large for carriers are not allowed in the vehicle.
- Does Hertz 24/7 provide child seats?
No. Unfortunately, we do not supply child seats in our vehicles. However, if you are driving with a child who requires a child seat, you are required to use your own for the safety of all passengers.
- What if I get towed?
We will pay the towing fine initially, but you will be responsible for the cost, along with an administration charge, any damage to the vehicle, as well as any impound or storage fees beyond the cost of the tow.
- What happens if I return the car late?
It is important to return the car on time, as another customer may be waiting to use it. If you think you are going to be late, and need to extend your rental, please do so by using the in-car screen pad next to the steering wheel and select the length of additional time needed in the vehicle or by calling the Customer Care Center when safe to do so and we will try to accommodate your request. If you need further assistance, please call the Customer Care Center at (877) 654-4400 when safe to do so. If you return the vehicle late, you will be charged $10 for every 15 minutes after the reserved return time ends.
- What if the vehicle I rented is dirty?
Each customer is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is left in good, clean condition for the next customer. Should the vehicle be left in unsatisfactory condition at the end of your rental, a cleaning fee of $45 will be incurred. If the vehicle is found dirty at time of pick up, please contact us immediately to report it. You do have the option of taking the vehicle to the nearest car wash to be cleaned, and we will gladly reimburse you up to $30 for the wash. Just fax or email your receipt to the Customer Care Center and a credit will be issued to your account.
- Is the insurance included in the rate?
Yes. Liability Insurance is included in your rate, subject to a $750 deductible. Review our Terms and Conditions for more information on the Liability Protection provided.
- What is the deductible for damage to or loss of a vehicle?
You will have to pay a $750 deductible if the car is damaged while being operated in accordance with our Rental Terms and Conditions. If the repair cost is less than this amount, you will only need to pay the lesser amount.
- Does Hertz 24/7 offer a service to allow me to pay for tolls electronically?
Yes, Hertz 24/7 offers PlatePass®, which allows tolls to be paid electronically. If you choose to use it, you will avoid delays at toll lanes and be on your way faster. If you use PlatePass®, the credit or debit card that you used for your rental will automatically be charged for tolls incurred at the Toll Authority's highest undiscounted toll rate and the applicable service fee, and you will be able to bypass cash lanes. PlatePass®, a division of American Traffic Solutions, administers this service for Hertz.

- How Does PlatePass® Work?
Depending on where you go, PlatePass® works differently.
For E-Z Pass & I Pass toll roads, PlatePass® is used with a toll transponder located within a shield box that is affixed to the windshield below the rearview mirror. To use PlatePass®, simply pull out the transponder from the shield box, so that the toll agency can electronically read the pass. If you don't want to use PlatePass, please make sure the transponder remains fully within the shield box and pay all tolls with cash or your own toll transponder compatible to the toll road.
For all other toll systems on which PlatePass® may be used, the toll road system will automatically read the vehicle's license plate if the vehicle passes through a toll lane without paying the toll with either cash or a compatible toll transponder. There is no device inside the car that needs to be used. If you don't want to use PlatePass®, you must pay all tolls with cash (if a cash option is available) or with your own toll transponder compatible to the toll road.
- How much does the PlatePass® service cost?
If you use PlatePass®, you will be charged a $4.95 service fee for each day of the rental including any days on which PlatePass® is not used, up to a maximum of $24.75 per rental month, plus incurred tolls at the Toll Authority's cash toll rate or highest undiscounted toll rate. PlatePass LLC will automatically charge the credit card used for the rental, typically one-to-three weeks after the rental closes. Processing of charges can at times take up to a month or more. Cash customers will be invoiced by PlatePass LLC. PlatePass® charges will not appear on your invoice for your rental. PlatePass® charges can be viewed at www.platepass.com.

The co-owner of the Watertown Privateers said Monday night that he believes a deal can be struck with a group of local investors who have expressed interest in buying the Federal Hockey League team.
Contacted Monday night by phone, Don Kirnan, who lives in the Syracuse area and is the leagues commissioner, said he hopes to meet with the group in the coming weeks to discuss a deal to sell the lower-level professional hockey team.
On Friday, local businessman Stanley H. Tibbles confirmed that he and five others have been negotiating to purchase the team from Mr. Kirnan and his daughter, Nicole J. Kirnan, who brought the Privateers to Watertown last year after the franchise played in Alexandria Bay for two seasons.
Mr. Kirnan said the two sides have not talked since an initial meeting in December.
Despite his optimism for the team, he acknowledged that the Privateers continue to lose money but the team needs local involvement for it to succeed, he said.
We think it can turn around with community support, he said.
If a deal can be worked out, Mr. Kirnan said, the investors must be vetted to make sure they have the financial wherewithal to operate the team, adding that the Privateers have a $500,000 annual budget.
We would need to see if they meet the financial obligations of the team and the league, he said, noting that the owners could end up losing money on their initial investment.
Playing in the smallest arena in the four-team league, the Privateers need to fill every seat for every game for the team to break even, Mr. Kirnan said. They attract 400 to 500 fans each game in the 1,400-seat Watertown Ice Arena.
On Monday night, the subject of the Privateers came up during the Watertown City Council meeting, when council members talked about the process for a franchise agreement for a team to play at the city-owned ice arena at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
The investors also are being courted by a Palm Bay, Fla., man who would like the group to start a new team in Watertown and join his new league, the North Atlantic Professional Hockey League. But Mr. Tibbles said Friday that he and the other investors would consider joining that league only as a fallback position, if the Privateers and the Federal Hockey League fold. Mr. Tibbles could not be reached for comment Monday night.
Nevertheless, council members appeared more interested in remaining with the Privateers, saying that it would be too risky to get involved in a team in a new league. If more than one team were to express interest in playing at the Watertown arena, the city would be required to go out to bid.
Erin E. Gardner, the citys parks and recreation superintendent, said she expects the city will start working as soon as today on putting together a bid process.
Last year, the Privateers came to Watertown with much fanfare after playing in the Bonnie Castle Recreation Center. Now, there is some doubt whether the team or the four-team league can survive for another season. It may depend on luring other teams into the league, with the need to suit up to six or eight teams, Mr. Kirnan said.
A group in Winston-Salem, N.C., has been talking with league officials about establishing a team. Groups in Wisconsin, Long Island and the Pittsburgh area also have approached the league, he said.
Mr. Kirnans daughter, Nicole, who recently had a baby and now lives in Syracuse, has had a less visible role in the team, he said. And the Privateers, who play a 56-game season, fired coach and general manager Brad Zangs on Feb. 20 after the team went through a nine-game losing streak. He was replaced by two Privateers players, Brent Clarke as the interim head coach and Kris McCarthy as general manager.
Mr. Kirnan said Monday night that he was not satisfied with the job that Mr. Zangs was doing as general manager in getting the team exposure and community support.
Earlier this season, the hockey team also received some bad publicity after Danbury, Conn., coach Philip P. Esposito Jr., 43, of East Haven, Conn., was arrested on two counts of harassment and endangering the welfare of a child after allegedly pushing a Watertown woman and her 7-year-old daughter following the Jan. 1 game against the Privateers.
City officials also confirmed that a fight broke out two weeks ago in the lobby of the arena between the Privateers and the opposing team. Mrs. Gardner said the scuffle happened in front of fans while they were leaving, but she did not have any other information about the incident.

The Lady Dinos finished tied for fifth in the 3A State Tournament held at Schneiter's Riverside Golf Course last week. Carbon's team total of 286 was posted early and held for quite a while. But when the the smoke had cleared Desert Hills, true to form, came in with a team total of 337. Pine View finished in second with 305, Spanish Fork third with 292 and Snow Canyon edged out Carbon and Uintah by one at 287.

Katie Felice came in with a 93 for 68 points and Taylor Hammack shot 94 for 67 points. Kaydee Gilson and Kaycee Gilson rounded out the team with 57 and 56 points.
"It was quite a day. The girls were nervous and it took a few holes to find their pace, but when they did things started to happen," said CHS head coach Kenji Otani. "I am very proud of my team, at the first of the season they made a goal of a top 5 finish at State and they were true to their word. Now the girls have decided it is time we win one. I can't wait for next season."

Woody says Jets would consider 'Hard Knocks' again
As if the Jets have not gotten enough attention after trading for Tim Tebow last month, Jets owner Woody Johnson left the door open for the team to be featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks" this summer. There has been speculation that HBO is interested in having the Jets back on its behind-the-scenes show, especially with Tebow now on board. "I've heard that," Johnson said at the grand opening of the NFL Shop at Draft store in Manhattan on Monday. "We have yet to receive a formal invitation. When we do, we'll take a look at it."

Sweets shop is big 'hit'
There's a new iceman working at John Gotti's old social club in Queens — but he serves up sweet, frosty treats instead of gangland murders. Businessman John Conza last month opened Uncle Louie G's — part of a chain of Italian ice and ice-cream parlors — in the space where the Teflon Don once held court, the former Bergin Hunt and Fish Club in Ozone Park. The site is where the Mafioso made his bones and blasted his way from obscurity to the front pages. Now, its hits are icy flavors such as Soprano Spumoni, FDNY Cherry and NYPD Blue, instead of contracts on union officials and rival gangsters. Read More: New York Post

As a part of NCDOT's Transportation Reform, NCDOT has established a new strategic planning process to aid in prioritizing projects. This data-driven approach will put projects in priority order, based on various criteria including how the project meets NCDOT's goals. The strategic prioritization process serves as the primary input source for the STIP. Metropolitan Planning Organizations, (MPOs), Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs), NCDOT Divisions, and the DBPT as well as other units at NCDOT use the Prioritization Project Submittal Tool to submit project information needed for this new prioritization process (See "Strategic Prioritization" under Transportation Reform to access the Tool and a guide on how to use it.)
The DBPT utilizes a project prioritization methodology to rank all projects. Projects are evaluated based on local prioritization, estimated cost, right-of-way availability, connectivity, inclusion in a bike/pedestrian plan, population of region served, and statewide equity. This process occurs every two years. Priority projects are included in the developmental STIP (years 6 to 10) and the 10-year Program & Resource Plan.
Those priority projects identified in the 10-year Program & Resource Plan will serve as the primary projects rolling into the delivery STIP (years 1 to 5) and the 5-year Work Program. The 5-year Work Program guides the daily activities of all staff within the department and identifies all programs and services, including projects, that NCDOT will undertake in a five-year period. The Work Program differs from the STIP in that it includes all of the funds that NCDOT uses, not just those for capital improvements. Projects and funding levels included in each Work Program are approved by the Board of Transportation. The first 5-year Work Program is anticipated to go for final approval in May 2010.
Bicycle and pedestrian projects are divided into two categories, which determine the types of funds that may be available. Independent projects are those which are not related to a scheduled highway project. Incidental projects are those related to a scheduled highway project. Local requests for small pedestrian projects, such as sidewalk links, should be directed to the relevant NCDOT Highway Division office (scroll down to map under Operations). View example projects in either category under Project Highlights.
$6 million is annually set aside for the construction of bicycle improvements that are independent of scheduled highway projects in communities throughout the state. These include shared-use paths, wide-paved shoulders, bridge improvements, intersection improvements, and other project types. Eighty percent of these funds are from STP-Enhancement funds, while state funds provide the remaining 20 percent.
Currently, $1.4 million is annually set aside for pedestrian hazard elimination projects in the 14 NCDOT highway divisions across the state; $200,000 is allocated to the Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation for projects such as training workshops, pedestrian safety and research projects, and other pedestrian needs statewide.
Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations such as bike lanes, sidewalks, intersection improvements, widened paved shoulders and bicycle and pedestrian-safe bridge design are frequently included as incidental features of highway projects.
In addition, bicycle-safe drainage grates are a standard feature of all highway construction. Most pedestrian safety accommodations built by NCDOT are included as part of scheduled highway improvement projects funded with a combination of federal and state roadway construction funds or with a local fund match.

I downloaded WizSchool on my Transformer Prime tablet on Friday afternoon, lured by those colorful characters and the promise of an extensive match three adventure. Cast in the role of a new student at the Elandryl Academy, I was soon brewing potions, playing rounds of magical Poker and dueling deadly enemies, all via well-crafted match three puzzles.
Lulled by the lovely music and bright, personality-infused visuals I must have played for an hour straight that first session. What started as a simple, relaxing experience soon grew more difficult. The enemies became more powerful, the clock on timed ingredient-collecting potion brewing missions seemed to tick by faster (there's a casual setting for those that don't perform well under pressure).
I played over the weekend. I played this morning. I purchased special items using in-game coin to enhance my game, increasing the chance of item multipliers and special power-ups appearing. I'd still be playing right now, were I not writing this.
The truest measure of WizSchool's success is not me, however. My wife-creature caught me playing on Friday and instantly downloaded the game to her iPad. There are very few games she will take a chance on, and all it took was one look.
This morning I discovered the game's casual mode, and I let her know it existed, in case she was having trouble. "Oh, I finished it yesterday. I had to grind a bit to earn money to buy items I needed to take on the final guy, but I eventually kicked his ass."
That was the most game-centric conversation she and I have had in months. I'm calling it a success.

OGDENSBURG The Ogdensburg Board of Education on Monday passed a $36,822,000 budget for 2013-14 by digging deeper into the fund balance, preserving several jobs and popular programs for one more year.
The final budget includes $2.2 million in appropriated fund balance, $17.5 million in state foundation aid and $9.5 million in property taxes a 4.69-percent increase over last years levy.
The district also received $100,000 in bullet aid attributed to Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa.
The budget, which represents a $3 million increase from this year, will be put to a public vote April 22.
Although board members applied $2.2 million from the balance $200,000 more than they had planned the district will lose four teachers to attrition, one with the closure of Sherman Elementary School, and a part-time technology coach.
But the district will keep the Odyssey of the Mind program and the summer marching band, and will spare the French program from further cuts.
Weve never seen anything like this, Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey said. Going forward, were not going to have $2 million in fund balance to use.
Michael J. Tooley, vice president of the Board of Education, said the teaching positions and programs that were saved this year will be the first things on the chopping block next year.
Were looking at a hole of over $2 million again for 2014-15, he said.
Board President Frederick P. Bean said, I would say to the people at the bottom of this list of saved positions that youve probably got about a year to find a job.
The budget was supported by Mr. Bean and members Ronald N. Johnson, Craig A. Lalonde, Betty J. Mallott, Lawrence G. Mitchell, Vicky M. Peo and Laurie J. Zweifel.
Mr. Tooley and Renee C. Grizzuto voted against the budget.
Mr. Tooley said applying $2.2 million in fund balance this year goes too far and makes the district more vulnerable next year.
Ogdensburg Education Association President David G. Price said he was proud of the way our community has come together here.
Mr. Price said he understands there are some real financial issues facing the district but was happy with the way the board handled the situation, though he stressed that even cuts by attrition hurt the community.
Mr. Price said the community needs to lobby lawmakers in order to push for a more equitable distribution of school aid.
Mr. Vernsey also advocated further lobbying efforts directed at Albany.
Its getting to the point where its criminal what theyre doing to poor children in this state, Mr. Vernsey said.
Mr. Vernsey said the state should give less money to wealthy districts. He noted in this years state budget low-need districts are seeing an average increase in state aid of six percent while Ogdensburg, on the other hand, received a 2.45 percent state aid increase, not including building aid.
Its very disheartening to be in education right now, Mr. Vernsey said. Its a greasy slope and its getting steeper.
