An afternoon thundershower interrupted a day of small general showers on Sunday and caused a number of problems throughout the county.
While some areas didn't get much rain out of the thunder gusher, places like Helper got .83 of an inch of water and even more fell in the mountains above the town and in the western part of the county.
Of biggest consequence was 2500 North in Carbonville, where the water washed over the road near the upper nine holes of the Carbon Country Club, blocking people from coming and going to their homes in the golf course subdivision. The water flowed over the road and into a storage unit area for some time. The aftermath was mud about six inches deep below the Highway 6 bypass bridge.
There were also reports of flooded basements in Carbonville and even some in the East Carbon area.
The Price River once again raised to a high level, but not quite as high as when a gully washer hit the Gordon Creek Canyon area, which brought torrents of black mud from the Seeley Fire burn scar into the river. Officials closed off the Price River Walkway under the 100 North bridge once again because of high water and mud. Many curious residents parked along the 100 North bridge to see the water flowing down the river as it carried everything from blue plastic barrels to 30-foot-long logs.
While not all of Price proper was dumped on by the rain in the same manner, the official report said nearly .50 inches fell during the day on Sunday. Winds that started on on Saturday also accompanied storms into the area. Reports said that 50-plus mile per hour winds blew through some areas of the county.
Residents in the Carbonville area reported that in some places .75 of an inch of water came down during the Sunday afternoon storm.
The forecast for the area is for more showers and thundershowers through Thursday night with things drying out a little on Friday, but more rain could show up over the weekend.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, (WZZM) - Getting fit is one of the most common New Year's resolutions, but how do you go about reaching your goals? Some say the key is finding a good health club or participating in group fitness.
At G-force Fitness, it's all about group classes.
"We need companionship, motivation, we need people there to help you get fit," says owner Jenn Nelson.
She started the no membership required gym three years ago. She was working at a fitness center that, she says, didn't always give customers what they thought they signed up for.
"People got good deals and just paid, but didn't use it. It was shady. Very shady, because when you say that you're in the fitness business, when your not, you're selling something that people aren't getting."
Phil Catlett with the Better Business Bureau of West Michigan says each year, fitness centers come ago. Often times customers are left without a gym and still bound by a contract.
"There are cases we've seen where a health club has gone out of business, but the financing for the membership still holds true, where you have to pay it all, even though it went out of business."
Catlett says you should thoroughly read the contract and be leery of great deals.
"The rule, if it's too good to be true, it probably is."
13 On Your Side checked with some of the area's biggest gyms. At the YMCA, you have to sign a one year contract. After that, you can go month-to-month and cancel at any time. Also right now, there is no enrollment fee. It's a decent deal, if you plan to use it.
"And like those pieces of equipment that sit in your basement un-used, health memberships are the same way," says Catlett.
Back at G-force Fitness, there are no contracts required. Each class cost $7 and if you like it and see results, the theory is you'll keep coming back.

"Buy Nothing Day: November 25, 2005
There are more circulars and advertising inserts incenting purchases for this specific day than any other day of the year, according to Media Week. Countering these massive energies is the grassroots declaration of Buy Nothing Day, a resistance fortified by AdBusters.
What is this all about? AdBusters' Brian Highley explains, "We ask people to go 24 hours without buying anything. Some find that they can't and we encourage them to ask themselves, 'Why not?'"
Buy Nothing Day will be celebrated in a record 65 countries this year. Fueled in part by a growing anti-American sentiment, more folks in more countries will be hanging posters and discussing global consumerism. AdBusters.org has downloadable posters and paraphernalia to spread the word of Buy Nothing Day."
On Friday November 4th, 2005, in the afternoon, the Japanese based band DMBQ and Michelle Cable of Panache Magazine were involved in a horrible car accident while driving to Brooklyn to play a show that night. Mana "China" Nishiura, DMBQ & Shonen Knife's drummer, did not survive the accident. She was a great talent and will be missed dearly.
Michelle Cable of Panache Magazine and Booking, who had been managing DMBQ's tour, was in the front passenger seat speaking with one of her booking clients, Alternative Tentacles XXX-rapper Blowfly . She had to undergo emergency surgery on her head and is expecting a 6 month recovery period. The rest of the band remains hospitalized but are expected to be released soon. We mourn the loss of China and our hearts go out to DMBQ, Michelle, and their families.
With the help of Jen (Shellshag/Starcleaner), a paypal account has been set up to benefit our friends in DMBQ and Michelle Cable to help pay for medical expenses.
Please forward and post this information as much as you can. Donations can be made to DMBQ and Michelle Cable by using PayPal to donate to the e-mail address email@example.com or by sending checks to:

Knight is reporting on the annual Islamic Society of North America convention (ISNA) in Chicago, IL for MuslimWakeUp, the progressive Muslim news site, right now. Today (9/2/05) he attended a press conference featuring Karen Hughes, close advisor to the President and Undersecretary of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs to report on it. During the Q&A, a policeman approached Michael and his 2 companions and asked them to come outside. Once outside, a special agent with a State Department i.d. asked them why they were at the press conference and searched them and their bags. After ISNA staffers vouched for them, they were allowed back into the press conference.
Later, ISNA staff apologized to Knight and his companions and said that "your friend (Knight) had that Alternative Tentacles jacket and we didn't understand it." That is why the convention staff called the police on Knight! Instead of asking him what A.T. was, they sicced the police on him. It's even weirder because Knight had press credentials issued by the ISNA itself!
It's funny now only because Knight was not spirited away by our government, which is a possibility that has become a reality for many US residents (mostly non-citizens) who are Muslims. Luckily, Knight was born and bred in the US, so he is a citizen and therefore less of a target than many others.
"We played the Rail Pub in Savannah Friday Aug. 26 and it was a Luau/Hurricane Katrina party. It was windy and spitting rain, the storm was a Category 2 and had just crossed Florida. We joked about Katrina and the Waves all night long and it was one of the best gigs we've played in years. Next morning Leon had a serious look on his face and was fuming about Katrina. She had turned Cat 5 and was heading up towards New Orleans. That evening's show with Drivin n' Cryin would have to be cancelled. If they left Savannah that minute they would barely have enough time to make it home, board up and evacuate.
We decide to cut and run and they began the 12-hour drive home. On my way back to Nashville, I started calling all my New Orleans friends to offer them a place to stay. People were starting to head out and the contraflow was in effect through Mississippi. "Contraflow" is when both sides of the interstate run in one direction. It was still a nightmare; drive times from East NO to Slidell were about 5 hours (it's usually 30 minutes). Those who waited to leave would have to sit in traffic for 10 to 12 hours, just to reach Meridian, MS or Houston, TX. It wasn't until Sunday morning that Mayor Nagin declared a mandatory evacuation.
To my current knowledge, all Dash Rip Rock members, former members and email-listers loaded up and got out. Most thought they would be able to return within a few days and only packed lightly. Leon and Brian weren't able to return our rental vehicle as all roads into the city were closed. They got in the back way finally and Leon collected his fishing boats and chained them to a fence by his parent's Lakeview house. He called and said his father wanted to ride it out and they may stay. Brian met up with his family and headed west.
On the day of the hurricane, it appeared that New Orleans was not badly hit. Gulfport, Bay St. Louis, Waveland and Biloxi had been raked much as it had been by Camille in 1969. Nothing was left standing near the beach. Calls started coming in Monday night and most felt they had dodged a bullet. Tuesday morning, Katrina was a tropical storm and passed through Nashville. It was still a terrific storm, knocking down trees and cutting power. Our power was off for 12 hours or so and we didn't get to watch TV. Later that afternoon, a friend's brother called and told us a levee had broke. It was the 17th St. canal levee, one that had been recently repaired or reconstructed. More than likely, it was a poor patch job and 300 ft. of the wall sank into the lake.
Leon finally called from Pensacola and said they'd escaped with all family, friends and pets. But his house, drums, bike and car in Lakeview were under 7 ft. of water. Former sound man Mike Mayeux's house in Violet is completely covered to the roof. Peter Holsapple's (dB's) house in Arabi is covered by 20 ft. of water. In the 9 th ward, water is coming in to the second story of most houses. Uptown landmarks fared better, Crepe Nanou is high and dry, Jimmy's and Carrollton Station had some water - but inches, not feet. Currently: Kyle and Andy are in Lake Charles with their families, Leon is in Pensacola with his parents and 99-yr. old Grandpere (who wanted to stay and ride out the storm!) and Brian just texted us saying he was camping near Mandeville and was out of food. We will more than likely be able to do all our scheduled gigs with borrowed equipment. Ironically, Fred and Cowboy Mouth are playing Nashville tonight with Better Than Ezra. More than likely I'll go out and see them for some distant commiseration.
We haven't heard from members of the Swingin' Haymakers - Dave Clements, Mike Rouillier and Joey Torres, so those are our main worries at the moment.
As of now, it will be 2 months before anyone is allowed back into the city. People are beginning to look for jobs and schools in the places they fled to, trying to make a living and return to some normalcy. Imagine being ripped from your house for 2 months! Everyone is having to buy new clothes and crash on friend's floors. The biggest favor those of us in TN, AR and TX could do for them is offering them a place to stay for a couple of weeks. Everyone is displaced and confused.
Of course, all this Dash news is a cakewalk compared to the horrors the poor of New Orleans face, those who didn't own a car or couldn't afford a ride out of town. They had no other choice but to stay. These are the people on the rooftops, in the dome, looting, and floating face down in the street. The city will rebuild, but never be the same. It's become a lawless island like that in Lord of the Flies. Jello compared this disaster to Pompeii, he wonders if New Orleans will ever be able to be a viable urban area again. It's obvious we will be experiencing effects from this flood for the rest of our lives."
"It is truly horrible - most of my friends and band people got out. we're trying to track down a few missing folks - it's very worrisome. It'll never be the same - the city [New Orleans] has been destoyed.

Counties in South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska were also covered by the watch that lasted until 11 p.m.
Earlier in the evening, the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Rock County after a funnel cloud was spotted near Beaver Creek. By 6 p.m. it had been canceled, although severe thunderstorm warnings lingered into the night in parts of the region.

Turf wars can be the silliest of all scuffles, and no place does silly with more zeal than Texas.
For example, the fine people of Dallas recently fell into a doozy of a turf tussle between the natives and foreigners - and the foreigners are winning. The out-of-staters, hailing from such distant lands as Bermuda and St. Augustine, Florida, are not people, but turf grasses.
Many homeowner associations, realtors, chambers of commerce, and city officials applaud (and even mandate) the use of such outliers to give a community that uniform, well-manicured, lush lawn look.
The natives, on the other hand, are tufts of tenacious prairie grasses, prickly cacti, and rough rocks - local elements that were "landscape" ages before lawns were invented, and way before there was a Dallas.
Enter Burton Knight, owner of a modest home in the city's Junius Heights neighborhood. In the interest of water conservation, and in the interest of nature's own beauty, he ripped up his lawn and went native, creating a xeriscaped yard.
It's beautiful, but not in the eyes of the lawn lords who rule the local landmark commission and city planning office. Knight's problem, sniffed a planner who oversees the Junius Heights historic district, is this: "The lack of lawn. There's none. Zero."
She cited an ordinance that sets standards for such things, but all it says is, "Landscaping must be appropriate." Well, wonders Knight, in this land of constant drought and a critical water shortage, how appropriate is it to keep landscaping with water-guzzling, chemical-demanding, imported turf grasses? Besides, he adds, "How can you say that cactus is not historic?"
This is, after all, Texas, the natural home of prickly pears and scrappy people. Loosen up, Dallas - go native, or give up your Texas passport.

Five school buses departed St. Lawrence County for Albany on Thursday, carrying residents ready to voice their grievances over recently passed gun legislation.
Organized by the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, the rally at the Capitol was meant to show lawmakers that New Yorkers want strict gun laws rolled back.
Addressing the crowd were National Rifle Association President David Keene and several lawmakers from across the state.
You gotta be deaf, dumb and blind not to see the support for the Second Amendment, Lawrence I. Kring, a retired lieutenant in the state Department of Environmental Conservation police, said Friday.
Mr. Kring was responsible for organizing rally participants in St. Lawrence County.
The crowd of about 5,000 people called on lawmakers to repeal the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Expansion Act that sailed through the Legislature in January and includes a ban on magazines holding more than seven rounds of ammunition, a background check on all gun and ammunition sales, tougher laws for the criminal use of guns and an assault weapons ban.
We had a very respectable showing of people who really think, and are right, that our Second Amendment has been infringed upon, Mr. Kring said.
Mr. Kring said the Legislature is working on amending sections of the NYSAFE Act, including allowing movies to be shot using assault weapon replicas and ensuring that the law is clear in exempting law enforcement agents from a ban on carrying weapons at schools.
Putting Band-Aids on a bad piece of legislation just shows how inept our state government really is, Mr. Kring said.
Ogdensburg City Councilor Daniel E. Skamperle, who helped organize the rally, called the law incredibly unconstitutional.
Mr. Skamperle said he is particularly upset about the state registry set up by the NYSAFE Act for existing assault rifles. New Yorkers who own assault rifles are required to register them by spring 2014 or face misdemeanor charges. The registry is not for standard hunting rifles or shotguns.
A lot of people think this law doesnt affect them, Mr. Skamperle said. If it doesnt affect you now, theres more coming. It really affects everyone as Americans.
Mr. Kring said the NYSAFE Act represented Democratic agenda by a progressive legislature and warned that the progressive legislature is in for a rude awakening at the ballot box.
Apathy at the ballot box will be going way, Mr. Kring said.
Mr. Skamperle said that although Thursdays rally drew a crowd of 5,000, It was really a drop in the bucket compared to people who wish they were there. Hopefully, we gave Albany some sort of voice that were not going to take it.
The Albany trip was so popular with St. Lawrence County residents that Mr. Kring raised close to $3,000 more than it required. Mr. Kring said he will donate the money to the Rifle and Pistol Association to help it fight the gun law.

HOGANSBURG The Akwesasne Freedom School received a $100,000 donation last week from the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe. A school official said the money will go toward moving the institution into a new building, paying for much-needed maintenance on the current building, funding lunch programs and increased custodial services.
This is a huge morale boost here at the school, said Okiokwinon Francis, the schools office manager. It lets us know they (tribal government) do care about us, and they want us to stay in Akwesasne.
According to Ms. Francis, the school has been trying to move to a new building on Route 37 near the Fort Covington town line for almost two decades, and the donation will bring it a step closer. She said because the school is funded only by tuition and donations, it has had to walk a fine line between paying for that building and maintaining this one.
According to the schools administrative assistant and bookkeeper, Sheila King, the 2012-13 operating budget is $400,000. Ms. Francis also noted the building is being built mainly by students parents who have the relevant skills, and the building materials are mostly donated. She said anyone who wishes to give to the project can contact the school.
Ms. Francis said part of the tribes donation will pay for roof repairs at the schools current home.
The grant also will go toward paying for a hot lunch program, Ms. Francis said, and could help increase the cleaners allotted hours, now one day each week.
The Akwesasne Freedom School teaches an immersion curriculum in Mohawk language and culture. Students and teachers speak only in Kanienkeh, or Mohawk, and attend school year round. Ms. Francis said that is to teach them their cultures traditional ways, which revolve around the Earth and its seasons. The students learn traditional ceremonies and the meaning behind them and also get a chance to see the environment and how it changes throughout the year.
The school has 48 pupils in grades pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, with the majority of them ages 6 to 8, according to Ms. Francis.

Chicago Fire
Prior to departing for Ave Maria, Fla. Fire Strength and Conditioning coach Tony Jouaux, with help from staff at the University of Illinois-Chicago's Human Performance Lab, put the team through the paces with the VO2 Max Fitness test.
What is the VO2 Max? Well, it tests the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical fitness of the individual.
Tony and some of the guys explain more in this video below but if you're wondering who the fittest guy on the team is, SPOILER ALERT, its Logan Pause.
Feelings on joining the Chicago Fire?
"I'm extremely delighted to be drafted by the Fire. I feel it's a golden opportunity for me to play under better conditions and show what I can do in MLS."
What are the strong suits of your game?
"I think my strengths are my speed, ability and technique. I feel like I have a lot to offer in those areas."
On coming from Cameroon…
"The training conditions I've had to play under in Cameroon aren't as good as in Chicago where they have top facilities and a great stadium. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to play in that stadium."
On youth international experiences with Cameroon U-20's
"I feel playing with the Cameroonian team at the U-20 World Cup raised my profile a bit and gave me something more to build towards. Representing your nation in a world championship is an amazing thing and I was very proud to play a part in all four games."
On his combine performance…
"I did feel that I had a strong combine. I came in off of an 18-hour flight and felt a little tired in the second half of games but I think I did very well to prove my abilities at the combine."
His thoughts on joining the Fire…
"I'm happy for a new challenge," Larentowicz told Chicago-Fire.com Wednesday night. "It feels good to go to a place where you're in the plans. Frank has been very forthright in coming after and it's something I look forward to being a part of."
On his contentious years against the Fire…
"In the past in my time in New England the Fire were always our biggest rivals. We were very similar, very competitive teams that were hard-nosed. Its just kind of the nature of things that both teams had wanted to win in the past but now I'm part of the Fire and I still have that same competitive spirit that's going to come and work for Chicago."
On competition in central midfield…
"I'll be competing for a spot and its an opportunity to come in and show that I deserve to be in the lineup and that's what I expect. I know those guys from playing against them – they're all good players and I look forward to competing for that spot."
On ability to stay fit throughout the years…
"The way I look at seasons and playing is the more time you can be available and give the coach the option of playing you, the better off you're going to be and the more opportunity for good things to happen. I think over the past seven years I've been able to do that."
On being part of championship teams in New England and Colorado…
"On all the teams I've been on it was never that they depended on me but it was more of a collective thing and the way I view how I play and what I try to do. The Fire are a playoff team and always in contention. I hope to add to that and be a piece that helps take the team to the next level."
In this edition of Burning Questions, we sat down with the Fire's second year midfielder/defender Tony Walls. Hailing from Wauwatosa, Wis., Tony was selected in the third round of the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft after an impressive collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where he scored 18 goals and added 11 assists over 75 appearances.
The former Fire PDL player was one of only four players to start all 10 of the Fire's 2012 MLS Reserve League matches and featured in both of the Fire's international friendlies in 2012 against the English Premier League's Aston Villa FC and Liga MX side Club Santos Laguna. Tony recently took the time to answer our Burning Questions about the Walls family soccer dynasty, life in the rookie crib and his impeccable fashion sense.
Always on the Inside: Your sister Cara plays soccer at the University of Wisconsin. How do you feel about her following in your footsteps and how often do you get to see her play?
Tony Walls: It makes me really proud. I try to go up as often as I can. I think I caught about three games last year. She's doing really well. Last season they received an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament and she got second team All-Big Ten with 10 goals, so it makes me really proud to see my little sibling doing well.
AOTI: Last season you lived with fellow rookies Hunter Jumper and Austin Berry. Did you all split the housework? Did you have a chore chart?
TW: We split it, but we didn't have a chore chart. If something needed to be done, we just did it. We weren't too messy, we are all pretty reasonable. They were good roommates. They were respectful of my belongings and they're good guys, so we got along really well so it was a good situation.
AOTI: You cut off your 'dreads. What went into the decision to make the change and how long had you been considering it?
TW: I had been considering it for about three weeks. I went back to visit school and an old teammate cuts my hair, and I just thought it was time. They were too high maintenance and I had them for about four years so I figured I could use the change.
AOTI: How does it feel?
TW: It's a little cold. I have to get my winter hat selection out.
AOTI: Last book you read in its entirety?
TW: It's called "The Inheritance of Loss" by Kiran Desai. I would recommend it. It's good.
AOTI: Current celebrity crush?
TW: Alex Morgan.
AOTI: What fashion trend did you rock back in the day that you'd be embarrassed to wear now?
TW: Nothing. I've always been fashionable.
AOTI: What was the best part of being a Fire rookie?
TW: I think the team in general is a pretty tight-knit group. The older guys are really professional but at the same time they actually care about us as people, and we get along very well.
AOTI: [Tony was rockin' a UVA soccer shirt during the interview] You and Hunter recently traded T-shirts. Was it a two-way trade or was it a three-way trade with Austin? How did it go down?
TW: It was just the two of us. I think Austin was out of time at the time but we're definitely going to have to get him involved. I think I just said, "Yo, you want to trade T-shirts? I'll give you one of my Green Bay ones for one of your Virginia ones," and Hunter said, "Sure."
On Monday I wrote a piece with Wells Thompson reflecting on his experience of getting heckled by Fire fans at the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. Perhaps more importantly, we also talked about the experience and what it meant for him to get drafted.
Wells is a talker and gave some good answers to a few other questions I couldn't fit in the story. Those are below…
What advice would you give to the players that will be selected in Thursday's SuperDraft?
"What's so encouraging is when you look in the league and look at a lot of guys that have succeeded and done well – Jeff Larentowicz comes to mind because I played with him for so long in New England and Colorado. Chris Wondolowski is another name. They both came through the Supplemental Draft and have had fantastic careers. There are a lot of big names that have succeeded and done well in the league after being picked at that stage.
"When I look at my situation, I was very fortunate to be selected by New England. At the time they needed an outside midfielder and the coaches were keen on the type of player and person I was. To a certain extent, it doesn't matter where you get selected in the draft. When you go into training camp, everyone's pretty much starting in the same place. Everyone has a clean slate and it's up to you to prove your worth.
"The wisdom I could give kids is no matter where you're drafted, go in and work hard because there are so many success stories of guys that were taken very low or not taken at all that have gone on to do big things in MLS."
To go from a college player with few if any accolades to the fifth overall selection in the SuperDraft, you must have raised your stock at the MLS Combine. What are your thoughts on that event?
"Yeah I did okay but the combine is such a different thing. Guys are getting together for just a weekend without practice. It's not the fairest assessment of a player's talents in my opinion. Your college career is probably the best judgment still on how a player would do in the league.
"What you can take a lot from those combines is seeing guys that don't shy away from the big stage and wanting to continue to prove to coaches and other players that they do belong in the league. For me it was a confidence thing -- I went down to the combine and realized I was as good, if not better than a lot of these players and I think that confidence showed throughout that weekend."
...defender Carlos Bocanegra brings to end his four-year stay with the Chicago Fire by signing with English Premier club Fulham FC on this day in 2004.
Arguably the best defender in Chicago Fire history, Bocanegra was a two-time MLS Defender of the Year and League Best XI selection (2002, 2003) as well as being the first Fire player to claim MLS Rookie of the year in 2000 and helped the club to three domestic titles (2000, 2003 U.S. Open Cup, 2003 Supporters Shield) as well as an additional two finals appearances (2000, 2003 MLS Cup).
Bocanegra was one of just three defenders named to last year's #Fire15 player's list along with former teammats C.J. Brown and Lubos Kubik.
At the time of his Fire departure, Bocanegra had only just begun to break into Bruce Arena's U.S. Men's National Team squad, with the future captain scoring four goals in his first full campaign for the Stars and Stripes in 2003.
With the UCLA product proving his worth for both club and country, Fulham signed Bocanegra on a free transfer (in the same window that future Fire forward Brian McBride arrived at Craven Cottage) and the two formed the basis for a long-term American occupancy of the West London club.
He would parlay his form at Fulham into making the 2006 U.S. World Cup team and while his time there would come to an end, Bocanegra was eventually named as new U.S. captain when former Fire coach Bob Bradley took the national team reins in 2007.
Moving to a less traditional American soccer destination with French clubs Stade Rennes (2008-10), Bocanegra led the U.S. to the Round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa before moving to St. Etienne following the tournament.
A move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers would follow but after the side went into administration this past summer, whispers of the former Fire defender's MLS return could be heard league-wide before he eventually went on loan to Spanish Segunda side Racing Santander.
Having now a decade of national team experience under his belt, the 33-year-old center back sits tied with Paul Caligiuri for sixth all-time on the national appeance list at 110 and is has scored more international goals (14) than any defender in U.S. history.
With his time for the national team and career winding down, a return to MLS could still be in his future. Remember, returning to Chicago for a U.S. friendly vs. Poland in October 2010, Bocanegra was quoted as saying this…
"This is my first choice. You never know how it works with (Major League Soccer) and allocations, but I love this city. For me, it would be cool to play for one team my whole career in MLS. I would like to come back to Chicago."
WATCH: Bocanegra Named to #Fire15
This day in Fire history, the Men in Red reacquired midfielder Diego Gutierrez from the Kansas City Wizards in exchange for Will John.
Having already helped the club to three domestic titles (even scoring in MLS Cup '98), Gutierrez returned to the Fire in time to aid the team in winning its MLS-record fourth Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title later that season.
In contrast, John, who had only apppeared in nine competitive matches only played four more games for Kansas City that year.
Perhaps fittingly, the Colombian born midfielder sits eighth on the club's all competitions appearance list with 197 games played and fifth all-time in assists with 34 over his two stints (1998-2001, 2006-2008)
It was in his second tenure with the Fire where his for off-the-field contributions with the "Nothing but Nets" charity garnered him three straight Fire Humanitarian of the Year awards as well as the MLS award in 2007.
WATCH: Run to the 1998 MLS Cup
Ahead of the opening of the 2013 Combine on Friday, the SuperDraft "Big Boards" have begun to make their appearances.
MLSsoccer.com's Simon Borg, Matt Doyle and Jason Saghini ran through their initial thoughts on the first 19 selections for Thursday's SuperDraft.
Manneh (L) or Hurtado (R) could make for
interesting offensive projects
Simon and Matt both agreed on the Fire's choice at 11th overall, saying they thought Frank Klopas and Co. would select Generation adidas signing, Gambian forward Kekuta Manneh, while Saghini differed with his pick of midfielder Erik Hurtado from Santa Clara.
Having just turned 18, Manneh seems to be a wild card in this draft. During the 2010-11 U.S. Soccer Development Academy campaign, the 5-9 forward tallied 35 goals for the Texas Rush.
The closest teammate to him goals scored was Marco Molina at seven.
Manneh didn't play in the Academy league this past year but the then 17-year-old did suit up for the USL Premier Development League's Austin Aztex, tying for the team lead in goals with 10 in 12 games before adding three more in two playoff matches.
Hurtado is a bit more of a known quantity. The Beaverton, Ore. product was a four-year stand-out at Santa Clara where he was actually teammates with current Fire defender Jalil Anibaba in 2009.
The attacking midfielder led the Broncos in goals all four seasons, tallying 33 to go along with 20 assists over 76 matches.
The last two summers, he's suited up for the Portland Timbers U-23 PDL side, tallying an impressive 14 goals in 18 matches.
Elsewhere over at TopDrawerSoccer.com, J.R. Eskilson and Travis Clark projected the Fire to select Maryland midfielder John Stertzer 11th overall.
Maryland's Stertzer is another name in the Fire mix
A product of Oakton, Va., Stertzer tallied 25 goals and 14 assists over 79 matches between 2009-12.
Stertzer came into his own offensively over the last two seasons, bagging 21 goals and 11 assists and helped the Terrapins in their return to the NCAA College Cup this past December but is expected to take on more of a holding role in MLS.
What do you think of the three projected players? Certainly with two offseason additions in attack, none of the three may stick out to Fire fans on paper and all would seem to be sort of project players. Of course these are just initial lists and the Combine has a lot to do with the reshuffling of the draft order.
We'll be sure to keep up with the combine this weekend and the newest Mock Drafts to come out from it…
So the Fire's 2013 regular season schedule OFFICIALLY came out earlier today and while I'm crushed that the league didn't go for my MLS Cup re-match on October 25 idea, there are still some dates beyond the three we already knew about that I'm looking forward to.
As always, there are also some things I dislike about the schedule…
Four games I'm looking forward to…
April 14 at Houston – A rematch of the Fire's 2012 MLS Cup playoff defeat. Houston outplayed the Fire back on Halloween and though they were a #5 seed went all the way to the final. I'd hope that every player that went through that defeat has the game circled.
April 27 at Montreal – What can I say except that I'm a sucker for French Canada? The trip to Montreal to begin the 2012 season was one of my favorite Fire memories and now with the Impact back into Stade Saputo, I have something else to look forward to.
June 2 vs. D.C. United – Though I'd prefer this game to be played on October 25, the first game against United should be another one Fire players mark on their calendar after drawing with them 1-1 at home to end the 2012 season. Despite an onslaught at the end of the match, the team couldn't find a second goal to avoid the knockout playoff match. The addition of Maicon Santos also makes this one more interesting
- September 7 at Seattle – I put in my Fire New Year's Resolutions that whenever the team traveled to Qwest Field, the goal should be to come away with three points. Having gone 0-5-3 against the Sounders since 2009, its time to put that winless streak to bed.
Things I don't like…
I love Montreal so I don't like that though the Fire play the Impact three times this season, the only trip to Quebec will come on April 27. There's always 2014 I suppose…
Though a common occurrence in the old days of MLS when there were 10-12 teams, that odd back-to-back home and home series in mid-May with Philadelphia just feels strange…
The Fire only play Toronto FC twice and the away game is on a Wednesday, making away supporters travel difficult. The two teams met on the same Wednesday the year before and I believe the combination of TFC's poor form and the midweek match were at fault for really poor attendance.
For the second straight year, the Fire will have to venture to Houston in the dead heat of summer for their fixture on July 27… Is there any way BBVA Compass can build a dome for the summer months?
- Down the home stretch, only one of the team's last four matches is being played at Toyota Park (October 19 vs. Toronto FC). If the playoff race is as tight as it was last season, this could be difficult.

Good Value for a Very Good Sequel
By Tyminator

About Me Avid Moviegoer
Comments about Terminator Salvation Blu-ray:
I had previously enjoyed the Terminator installations, with the exception of part III. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the Terminator Salvation Blu-ray/Digital Copy edition comes with both the Theatrical release version on one disc and the Director's cut on another. Great action and excellent audio/visual effects.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Waste of time! Unwatchable!
By Tommy_B
from Seminole County, Florida
The writers should have their laptops taken away. The director has a future in either the food-service or house-keeping industries. And the actors stunk on ice.
Service and delivery comments:
Price seemed good, who knew? The delivery was fast, fast, fast! Thanks Brothers.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Somethings are not always as described
By matt the critic
from Imperial, MO
I was excited to get this movie I have the other 3 so I wanted to continue my collection, when I saw that it came with a digital copy I was exta excited because I like to watch movies on my computer & ipod touch. I was dissapointed when I got this movie though because when I opened it and saw that there was no digital copy it upset me & in a way I felt like I had been lied to. My advice to fellow movie buyers be carefull and pay attention to the experation date of the digital copy, because aparently they have experation dates. I found out the hard way I just bought 3 movies 2 of them were blu-ray,dvd & digital copy combo packs. I was tring to download the digital copys of the movies but recieved error messages that the offer had expired, and I have also bought a few movies that were advertised to have digital copys of the movie included but didn't have anything at all as far as a code or disc with the digital copy file.

The Secretary is authorized to insure and make commitments to insure loans made by lenders other than the United States to the owner of any farm or any association of farmers for the purpose of providing housing and related facilities for domestic farm labor, or to any Indian tribe for such purpose, or to any State (or political subdivision thereof), or any broad-based public or private nonprofit organization, or any limited partnership in which the general partner is a nonprofit entity, or any nonprofit organization of farmworkers incorporated within the State for the purpose of providing housing and related facilities for domestic farm labor any place within the State where a need exists. All such loans shall be made in accordance with terms and conditions substantially identical with those specified in section 1472 of this title, except that—
(1) no such loan shall be insured in an amount in excess of the value of the farm involved less any prior liens in the case of a loan to an individual owner of a farm, or the total estimated value of the structures and facilities with respect to which the loan is made in the case of any other loan;
(2) no such loan shall be insured if it bears interest at a rate in excess of 1 per centum per annum;
(3) out of interest payments by the borrower the Secretary shall retain a charge in an amount not less than one-half of 1 per centum per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loan;
(4) the insurance contracts and agreements with respect to any loan may contain provisions for servicing the loan by the Secretary or by the lender, and for the purchase by the Secretary of the loan if it is not in default, on such terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe; and

(1) the Secretary may utilize the insurance fund to pay taxes, insurance, prior liens, and other expenses to protect the security for loans which have been insured hereunder and to acquire such security property at foreclosure sale or otherwise;
(2) the notes and security therefor acquired by the Secretary under insurance contracts made pursuant to this section shall become a part of the insurance fund. Loans insured under this section may be held in the fund and collected in accordance with their terms or may be sold and reinsured. All proceeds from such collections, including the liquidation of security and the proceeds of sales, shall become a part of the insurance fund; and
(3) of the charges retained by the Secretary out of interest payments by the borrower, amounts not less than one-half of 1 per centum per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loan shall be deposited in and become a part of the insurance fund. The remainder of such charges shall be deposited in the Treasury of the United States and shall be available for administrative expenses of the Farmers Home Administration, to be transferred annually to and become merged with any appropriation for such expenses.
(c) Insurance contract; obligation of United States; incontestability
Any contract of insurance executed by the Secretary under this section shall be an obligation of the United States and incontestable except for fraud or misrepresentation of which the holder of the contract has actual knowledge.
(e) Administrative expenses
Amounts made available pursuant to section 1483 of this title shall be available for administrative expenses incurred under this section.

(2) the term "related facilities" means
(A) new structures (including household furnishings) suitable for use as dining halls, community rooms or buildings, or infirmaries, or for other essential services facilities, and
(B) existing structures (including household furnishings) which can be made suitable for the above uses by rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, or improvement and
(3) the term "domestic farm labor" means any person (and the family of such person) who receives a substantial portion of his or her income from primary production of agricultural or aquacultural commodities, the handling of agricultural or aquacultural commodities in the unprocessed stage, or the processing of agricultural or aquacultural commodities, without respect to the source of employment, except that—
(A) such person shall be a citizen of the United States or a person legally admitted for permanent residence;
(B) such term includes any person (and the family of such person) who is retired or disabled, but who was domestic farm labor at the time of retirement or becoming disabled; and
(C) in applying this paragraph with respect to vacant units in farm labor housing, the Secretary shall make units available for occupancy in the following order of priority:

(g) Waiver of interest rate limitations
The Secretary may waive the interest rate limitation contained in subsection (a)(2) of this section and the requirement of section 1471 (c)(3) of this title in any case in which the Secretary determines that qualified public or private nonprofit sponsors are not currently available and are not likely to become available within a reasonable period of time and such waiver is necessary to permit farmers to provide housing and related facilities for migrant domestic farm laborers, except that the benefits resulting from such waiver shall accrue to the tenants, and the interest rate on a loan insured under this section and for which the Secretary permits such waiver shall be no less than one-eighth of 1 per centum above the average interest rate on notes or other obligations which are issued under section 1481 of this title and have maturities comparable to such a loan.

Read: Taylor Pyatt Might Be Slow But He Is Consistent and Off To A Good Start
In his first four games as a Ranger, Taylor Pyatt has three goals on six shots and is averaging 14:54 per game.
After playing about 12:30 in the first two games, Pyatt was moved up to the second line on Wednesday and played nearly 15 minutes and against the Flyers he played nearly 20 minutes.
Following the game against the Bruins, John Tortorella praised Pyatt "he has played well. I worry sometimes about the speed of the game, but he gets there. He has been one of our most consistent players. Sometimes I worry that he isn't going to get down the ice, but he gets there. We put him on the second line and he contributes with a big goal. He is probably one of our most consistent players."
Ryan Callahan told Newsday, that one of Pyatt's strengths is holding onto pucks down low and helping create offense around the net.

|Watauga SO Called To Enforce Vote Ruling-WCS Responds
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 06 November 2012 12:14
There were some lines of voters casting ballots this morning in Watauga—and some drama, as the Watauga Sheriff's Office had to be called to deal with carrying out a poll ruling. Watauga Election Supervisor Jane Hodges said that she was contacted by her Judge
at the precinct at Green Valley School about students being kept in the gym, and she ruled that state law would allow only voters and those helping with the vote to be there, "The gym teacher did not like my ruling, and he informed us that he would have to continue with the way he was doing with the students. And I did ask him as nice as I could several times to please not do that. So he chose to defy me and chose to—he just said he was going to do what they had done for years. And so I informed him if he could not abide by the rules, by the General Statutes, that I would call the Sheriff's Department." Hodges said that as deputies arrived, the person involved left the gym and that the matter resolved, but Watauga School officials, including all principals, were in a meeting and apparently unaware of the incident. Watauga School officials responded to our inquiry about the matter, saying it was not a gym teacher, but principal Phillip Griffin, who was the person who was speaking with the Board of Elections representative at the site. They got on to say that the students were not in the bleachers in the gym, they were being led from buses through the gym to the cafeteria, and that the procedures followed by the school this morning (in regard to students being in the gym) are the identical procedures used at the school in previous elections dating back to at least 2002. No concerns were expressed about those procedures in prior years.
Hodges also said that some 16,000 voters cast ballots in the early voting period in Watauga…not quite as many as in 2008, when over 17,000 voters cast early ballots, and she blamed weather for not breaking the 2008 total. State-wide, 2.55 million voted early by late Saturday, the N.C. State Board of Elections saying that early voting exceeded the record 2.4 million votes cast in the 2008 election. And there's weather today—more snow flurries—but so far, not enough to impede voting. Polls are open until 7:30, and voters who are in line at that time can vote.

On Friday night, the Sanford-Fritch Eagles matched up well against a quick, athletic Amarillo Highland Park Hornets team. The Hornets are a fast paced, no structure team that loves to run the court and Sanford-Fritch stayed right with them for the entire night.
Despite some interesting officiating, Sanford-Fritch showed some moments of good basketball.
Highland Park started off on quick run, capitalizing on every turnover. Coach Simmons finally used a timeout to stop Highland Park momentum with only 1:40 left and a 16-8 score in first quarter.
Senior Chris Bryan had some easy shots and great blocks to pull Sanford-Fritch closer at 18-12.
The back and forth battle continued and Sanford-Fritch stayed within reach to end half 25-19.
The third quarter was a Colton Valle stealing show- he tortured the Hornets all night.
Pretty equal scoring from most of the Sanford-Fritch team, with Valle as leader with 8.
The Eagles crawled back within four points to start the fourth quarter 35-31.
A couple of key timeouts to keep the game close and under control wouldn't help the Eagles get their first district win. They would fall short 47-42 in heartbreaker.
Big game Tuesday against the Childress Bobcats, who are in first place within district and ranked #8 in state.
Colton Valle 8 pt; 4 blks
Ryan Blakely 6 point; 3 reb
Trey Henry 6 pts
Christian Ward 6 pts; 7 reb
Chris Bryan 6 pts; 5 reb

What is the difference between Federated Login and Single Sign On authentication methods?
Single Sign-on (SSO) allows users to access multiple services with a single login.
The term is actually a little ambiguous. Sometimes it's used to mean that (1) the user only has to provide credentials a single time per session, and then gains access to multiple services without having to sign in again during that session. But sometimes it's used to mean (2) merely that the same credentials are used for multiple services; the user might have to login multiple times, but it's always the same credentials. So beware, all SSO's are not the same in that regard. Many people (me included) only consider the first case to be "true" SSO.
Federated Identity (FID) refers to where the user stores their credentials. Alternatively, FID can be viewed as a way to connect Identity Management systems together. In FID, a user's credentials are always stored with the "home" organization (the "identity provider"). When the user logs into a service, instead of providing credentials to the service provider, the service provider trusts the identity provider to validate the credentials. So the user never provides credentials directly to anybody but the identity provider.
FID and SSO are different, but are very often used together. Most FID systems provide some kind of SSO. And many SSO systems are implemented under-the-hood as FID. But they don't have to be done that way; FID and SSO can be completely separate too.
SSO allows a single authentication credential--user ID and password, smart card, one-time password token or a biometric device--to access multiple or different systems within a single organization. A federated identity management system provides single access to multiple systems across different enterprises.
FID researching in multi parties trusting in same Identity managment system, for example you can log in to Flicar by your Yahoo account; here Flicar depends on Yahoo and trust in it to authenetcate you.In FID it must be there a third party(identity provider) beside the user and the service provider.
SSO is researching in how to login to multi services by single sign in.for example if you login to your hotmail account you will be able to log in to SkyDrive service without need to log in again.
I dont have an example but I think you can either login by SSO to many services using FID or you can log in by SSO without using FID.

The Mali town that was just recaptured described the Islamist invaders as both terrifying and gentle. Sure. They used gentleness to get what they wanted and then they resorted to terror when gentle did not work. No, as any Sailor will tell you, only the ocean is truly both terrifying and gentle:
Yes, Garrett McNamara just set a world record with the above swell. Swell.

I meant the Distributed Computing forum only. Sorry.
There's not much going on here. Should I kill it?
I meant the Distributed Computing forum only. Sorry.
I think he meant the Distributed Computing forum.
Does anyone does DC anymore?
I'm thinking for the sake of space you could probably kill it, but I know I still DC.
I do DC but the hype with teams and rankings and things seems over. So "kill this forum" gets my vote.
i still DC... it was nice for anounce ments.. but i guess that can go into another area.
Yeap, I still DC too .....
Like Demian said, craziness with Stats seems over.
I know not much action is going on here and active recruitment for new DC team members is also not going on.
If it's for space reason, we could discuss this stuff at OT area or something.
let's just "downsize" this forum
