Java web services and SOA
Loosely coupled, modular applications are easier to maintain and upgrade than large intertangled legacy applications. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides a set of principles or governing concepts that help enterprise architects build better, less expensive applications. Taking an SOA approach means more than just building a lot of Java Web services. Solid SOA services are highly modular, with very few (if any) dependencies, and lend themselves directly to reuse. Still, the integration of services and existing application architecture into a cohesive Web services architecture can be very challenging. Enterprise architects may do well to consider adopting not only SOA service standards, but also SOA frameworks and/or Web services frameworks.

Legoland Florida on Tuesday announced plans for its major upcoming expansion project: The World of Chima presented by Cartoon Network.
The expansion, slated to open this summer, is based on Lego's newest product line, which tells the story of tribes of animal warriors in a mystical land battling over a powerful energy source known as CHI.
The expansion will center on an interactive water ride, the Quest for CHI. Other elements include the Speedorz Arena, where guests can build ripcord powered vehicle models out of Lego bricks and compete against each other and a new 4D movie.
Since opening in October 2011, Legoland has added a Star Wars-themed area and a water park.
Legoland Florida is based on the building-block toys and has rides and attractions geared toward ages 2 to 12. The Winter Haven location is one of five Lego-based theme parks in the world, and the company's largest.

As hot as the Rangers have been lately, the Buffalo Sabres
have still managed to keep pace every step of the way and are now just two
points behind New York. That means that tonight's match between the
two is for control of seventh place in the Eastern Conference. It's not accurate to say that the winner has
that spot locked up, but with just five games remaining, this is indeed a
crucial game.
Just as the Rangers have been buoyed by phenomenal
goaltending from Henrik Lundqvist in March, the Sabres have been propelled by
Ryan Miller, who was the NHL's first star last week. Miller struggled through injuries during the
first half of the season, but it's no coincidence that Buffalo has ascended the standings in the
second half since he's been healthy. The
Sabres fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night but are 4-1-1 in their last
six. They have also received tremendous
play of late from slow-starting forwards Thomas Vanek, Tyler Ennis, Drew
Stafford and Jason Pominville. Brad
Boyes, who played his first game as a Sabre against the Rangers, has also been
a welcome addition to the club with five goals and five assists in 15 games. But the hottest player on the team is
defenseman Andrej Sekera who has posted two goals and 15 assists in his last 16
games. Sekera is just 24, but his
previous career high was 19 points in his first four NHL seasons. As with the Rangers, the Sabres have been
boosted by very strong special teams down the stretch and have gone 20 for 20
on their recent penalty killing opportunities and five for 21 on recent power
The Rangers should have no trouble getting up for this game,
and might have a slight edge as the Sabres will be playing a back-to-back. However, because the Sabres lost last night,
they face a lot of pressure to come away with two points tonight. It will be interesting to see how Buffalo, typically a well
organized and well coached team, responds. There's not much doubt that the Blueshirts see this as a playoff game
and will come out with their best effort, but this game may mean more for Buffalo. Another loss would grant the ninth place
Carolina Hurricanes a good bit of hope, but a win might seal the deal.
These two teams aren't too different in terms of skill
level, and this game could well come down to a duel between Henrik Lundqvist
and Ryan Miller. Don't expect a lot of
goals tonight, but neither team will be eager to send this game into

Product 8/8
Pattern delivered as an electronic download.
This might be one of the most stress-free bags you'll ever sew. It's simple to make, it's simple to cut out, it's FAST and it doesn't use up a ton of your precious fabric. The lining is completely hidden, so use a bright coordinating solid to save money! I wanted a super fast alternative to the Two Zip Hipster and Daytripper. While neither of them is particularly difficult, they are a bit too complex to be appropriate for that gift you needed yesterday. Making a dozen of these for your Etsy shop won't break the bank or be a total time suck. I LOVE that. And so will you.
I've been using mine for grocery shopping, because it's hands free and I don't need to keep track of my purse in the cart. It's a little bigger than the Essential Wristlet, and will hold your phone, keys and wallet. It's also perfect for travelling and will keep your passport safe and on you at all times. My basic Kindle (no case) fits in the front pocket, and an iPad mini fits in the main pocket. Since it's all rectangles, you could easily add inches to make the bag wider or longer as needed.
Instructions are included for strap widths from 1/4″ to 1″, so you don't need to track down specific sized hardware. Add a fixed strap or a removable strap, which is nice for when you want to tuck the purse into a larger tote and not deal with the strap getting tangled. Make it adjustable for gifts or not, if it's just for you!
There are no raw edges. You will turn it through an opening in the lining just like any other purse.
Perfect for teens and younger girls, too!
Finished Size
Approximately 9.5″ tall and 7.5″ wide with a 30″ to 55″ adjustable strap.
This purse has one main zipper and a zippered pocket.
Materials Needed
Main fabric: 1 yard (You need 30″ for the strap, there will be plenty of fabric left over.)
Lining fabric: 1/3 yard
20" woven fusible interfacing: 1 yard (Recommended: Pellon SF-101)
20" heavyweight sew-in interfacing: 1/3 yard (Recommended: Pellon SF-725, Pellon 50 – You need one 8.5″ x 10.5″ piece)
Hardware: Adjustable slider + 2 rectangle rings -OR- Adjustable slider + 2 sets of lobster clasps & D-rings
Two 10″ or longer nylon zipper (I highly recommend YKK zippers)
Size 80/12 or 90/14 Microtex/Sharp needles
Marking tools such as chalk or an air erasable marker
Matching thread
Ruler (A rotary cutter & mat are extremely helpful)
Sharp scissors to trim away batting and interfacing
Designer Terms of Use: You may sew a small quantity of items to sell. Please give credit. Do not distribute pattern pieces or instructions.

When do we count?
This is America, the land of the free,
Maybe for some
But not you and me.
The illegals get food stamps
And our social security
When do we count?
Iraq, Libia, Somalia, childern go hungry
so we should care.
But here in America, our
Food banks shelves are bare.
When do we count.
Some have lost their homes,
Some have lost their jobs
Some have turned into angry mobs.
There is no more "an American dream"
We've given and given, or so it seems.
Fix our troubles here at home
Start listening to our people moan,
Before we help others with a helping hand,
We need to to help here in our own land.
So politicians:
With questions starting to mount,
I have only one
When do we count?

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
Education of our children at the local level is one of the most emotional things in a community. The recent fall out from the teacher switch from Castle Heights to Wellington is just the latest example.
We endured the vitriol feelings left from the closure of East Carbon High. We have been rocked by the firing of the Carbon football coach. There were bad feelings over the course of time as teachers have come and gone and our population shifts.
In the end the personal attacks and bad feelings do nothing to improve the quality of our children's education. I hope that people can step back and try to make the best of what they perceive as a bad choice.
This is my second time around sending kids through our school system. I have not always agreed with the direction that our school board has chosen. I have not always liked the teachers my children have had.
I have also supported a lot of the direction that our board has taken. I have liked many of the teachers my children have had.
In other words I have gone through good years with the school system and bad.
I could name names of those I have butted heads with and think are not doing the job the way I want them to. But after spending many years dealing with a variety of people in the system, I have learned that just because I don't agree with the person or policy up front, it is not necessarily the wrong thing or that the person involved is bad.
I do research my choices for school board when it comes time to vote. I hope you all do as well. In the past I was also much more involved with the schools, such as PTA and helping in the classroom when I could.
I now keep tabs on the state legislature dealings as they pertain to education funding. I know that our local school board official was right when he said that just because the state gave more money to education, it did not mean they could use it to hire teachers.
Decisions for state money for education are weighted toward the larger population base on the Wasatch Front. Rural schools with small population bases do not necessarily have it better than the bigger schools. The daily cost to open the doors of an elementary school are about the same no matter how many children are in their desks on a morning. But when a school is given money based on attendance, the lower number hurts.
It is good to see the seriousness our community puts on the quality education of our children. We are all there no matter if our child goes to elementary school or high school. Every community is filled with parents that want the best for their child and I doubt any of them want it at the expense of someone else's kids.
So let's keep up the pressure to improve the education system here. But let's also find positive ways to do it and not by personal attacks directed at other people or schools.

Drug: No Biologics
Treatments will be prescribed according to investigator judgement.
Detailed Description:
This registry study will include volunteer pediatric patients: approximately 2,000 pediatric patients with Crohn's Disease who have been treated with infliximab and approximately 2,000 pediatric patients with Crohn's Disease who have received therapies other than infliximab. Approximately 1,000 pediatric patients with Ulcerative Colitis or Indeterminant Colitis will also be enrolled. All patient treatments for IBD will be decided by the treating physicians in consultation with their patients based on usual clinical practice. Patient information will be collected at the time of enrollment and every 6 months for approximately 20 years. Data collection will include disease characteristics, IBD medications, safety assessments to include adverse events. Patients will also be asked to complete a brief questionnaire describing school and/or work attendance in order to assess quality of life. Some patients may be asked to participate in a substudy that will evaluate blood levels of formation of proteins that may develop after treatment with infliximab. A small amount of additional blood may be taken at the time of a routine blood draw that is part of a patient's routine medical care as determined by a treating physician. There are three studies as part of the post marketing requirement for IBD - C0168Z02, REMICADEPIB4002 and REMICADEPIB4003. There is one combined database for these protocols and analyses are performed using the aggregate data. All reports and publications will be generated from the combined database. No study agents will be administered in this registry. All patients will receive standard-of-care treatments prescribed by the patient's physician.

CANTON It was the first time Brandon D. Crandall and Joseph C. Lugo had seen each other since the theft of an ATM last November from St. Lawrence Universitys Brewer Bookstore to which Mr. Crandall has confessed and Mr. Lugo has pleaded not guilty.
Testimony began Friday in St. Lawrence County in the trial of Mr. Lugo, 24, of DeKalb, who is accused of being the mastermind behind the Nov. 17 theft in which more than $35,000 was pried from the North County Savings Bank automated teller machine.
Mr. Crandall, 22, of Canton, testifying against his alleged associate, said he hadnt seen Mr. Lugo since the Sunday following the theft.
Recounting the midnight heist, Mr. Crandall told Assistant District Attorney Andrew T. Botts that Mr. Lugo had an internship with North Country Savings Bank, servicing its ATMs, which familiarized him with the machines.
Mr. Crandall acknowledged that no one forced him to participate in the crime by taking his fathers truck to the rear entrance of the bookstore that night, prying the machine free and using a torch and pry bar to get to the money out at his fathers machine shop; but, he claimed, Mr. Lugo was responsible for covert aspects of the plan.
It was his idea to change our clothes, Mr. Crandall said. When we got back to the machine shop we changed back into our street clothes and burned the clothes we wore during the crime in a furnace/wood stove, Mr. Crandall said.
Burning the clothing and driving on the outskirts of town to avoid being caught on police camera were part of the plan concocted by Mr. Lugo, the witness told Mr. Botts.
Mr. Lugos attorney, Mary E. Rain, said this wasnt Mr. Crandalls only involvement in crime.
Members of the St. Lawrence County Drug Task Force had visited Mr. Crandalls apartment at 31 Main St. the Sunday following the theft and upon interviewing Mr. Crandall, uncovered approximately one pound of marijuana and some paraphernalia.
Investigator Christopher Flint, who also took the stand on Friday, said the Drug Task Force had received information from another law enforcement agency that Mr. Crandall was involved in drug trafficking. Interviewed at the Canton police station, he confessed to the ATM theft and took police to the swampy area behind his fathers machine shop off Sykes Road where the scorched and dented remains of the ATM were stashed, empty of cash.
Mr. Botts wheeled into court the ATM, its inside cash boxes busted open; the pry bar used to crack open the machine, and Mr. Crandalls share of the cash, which was stored in a gallon-size plastic freezer bag.
Ms. Rain asked Mr. Crandall if the sweet deal he received might be enough reason for him to lie about Mr. Lugos role.
Mr. Crandall pleaded guilty to felony third-degree grand larceny and tampering with physical evidence on July 15 as a part of a plea bargain. He was placed on one year of interim probation, and if he completes the probation successfully, those felonies will be vacated and he will be given an opportunity to plead guilty to misdemeanors and be placed on three years probation.
In addition, Ms. Rain said, that deal, which also required Mr. Crandall to testify against Mr. Lugo, his friend and roommate for a short time, would rid Mr. Crandall of his pending drug charges.
I hated to talk about Joe, but I was in a bad position and had to help myself out, Mr. Crandall testified. Directly after my arrest I harbored resentment toward him, but I could have said no and not done it.
A friend of the two men, Jacob Rakitis, testified about seeing the two parked in the village, and said Mr. Lugo told him that if he promised not to tell anyone, he would be given $1,000.
Testimony is scheduled to continue at 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Ain't nobody gots the ability to bother me enuf to ignore them. bad Grammar, ignorance, idiotic comments... I still love you, man.
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
I will never put anybody on my ignore list b/c everybody has the right to have their own opinions and I can respect that.I enjoy talking to everybody on here and I hope they feel the same way about me.I hope im not on nobodys ignore list!!
I can spell,I just can't type!!
I hate you all but I don't want to just come here and talk to myself, so I grudgingly allow everyone's posts to get through.

I tried it once on another board, but either someone else would quote the post so I'd wind up seeing it anyway, or someone would respond to it without quoting it so I'd wind up curious about what it said.
"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons
Never thought I'd need it until this year. Then I'd see the poster's comments quoted by another post and say, "yep, still worth it." I'm really open minded too, I just knew it wasn't worth my time (personal attacks, strange moral bent, no filter before hitting "reply", etc.)

The latest in our line of environment-conscious tires, the Ecopia™ EP422™ is an all-season tire that delivers a smooth, comfortable ride. It is designed to improve rolling resistance, which helps it achieve better gas mileage. With its innovative tread compound and advanced traction technology, the tire is a strong, reliable performer on wet and dry surfaces all year long.
NANOPRO-TECH improves rolling resistance and contributes to fuel-efficiency and CO2 reduction by controlling the interaction between polymer, filler materials and other rubber chemicals at the molecular level. FUEL SAVER SIDEWALL COMPOUND helps lower rolling resistance by both returning more energy back to the tire and reducing heat generation as compared to a traditional sidewall. SILICA improves traction in wet conditions by increasing flexibility of tread compound. RECYCLED GROUND RUBBER made from ground-up post-consumer tires, it contributes to 5% of the tread compound. CIRCUMFERENTIAL GROOVES help channel water out of the footprint area to improve resistance to hydroplaning.

I purchase 4 tires on Dec 2013, 30 months ( and 30K miles) later the edges are worn, did proper rotation and frequent alignments, Firestone auto center could not give me an answer as to why the tires were worn from the edges. One of the tires had a puncture and can not be fixed, because of the road protection I am being offered 30% of its value. Do not recommend

I bought 4 tires at the Hardeeville, SC Walmart store, and tone of the front tires blew out on the Hwy at approximately 80 mph. , After 6 weeks and less than 500 miles driven. Went to Walmart to inquire about those tires. Tires was definitely a loss, thanks God not our lives. Been told tires were a clearance item of which I was not made aware of, although I was told they where on sale. I expressed a concern, since I now was told they were a clearance item not a sales item , about the tires shelf life. I was told Walmart does NOT consider a shelf life/ expiration on tires as long they are stored properly and Walmart considers a tire new till the day it is mounted to a car. I KNOW I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER TIRE FROM WALMART AGAIN. A few dollar's saved is not worth risking my or anyone's life. I can't rate the tire on snow and tread, but I would not recommend this tire due to my experience.

Rick Nash. It was a misdirected puck that made contact with the visor-less Marc
Staal. Staal hit the ice, but was able to make his way to seek medical
treatment in the back under his own power. He was examined today in New York by
Dr. Mark Fromer, ophthalmologist, and Dr. Mendel Markowitz, maxillofacial
surgeon. The injury has improved
significantly and both doctors are optimistic that Marc will make a full recovery,
but will be out indefinitely.
The Rangers organization

Slat Size Comparison [ Top ]
As a rule, the narrower the slat, the more slats necessary. What this means for you is:
Finishes [ Top ]
Wood Blind Basics [ Top ]
Wood blinds are consistently the most popular products because they are easy to install and provide a classic feel to any home. They offer varying options that make taking care of a specific need that much easier.
Types of Wood [ Top ]
The quality of the wood used in slats is often overlooked. Do not be fooled. All wood is not equal. Since wood blind slats are natural wood products, warpage and cracking are potential issues. There are two types of wood used primarily in the production of wood blinds, 1) North American hardwood such as basswood, poplar or aspen and 2) a lesser quality (but less expensive) Ramin wood. About 75% of the window coverings industry agrees that basswood is the "ideal" wood for wood blinds. The most important thing to remember is that wood blinds purchased from reputable companies will be far less likely to have problems and are warranted against warpage and cracking.

What's happening this Thanksgiving? Let's see: the Colts will play the Falcons; that should be a good game. Luby's is offering a complete meal-to-go for its customers at a decent price. Kraft Foods has a wonderful array of recipes online. There is even a "Thanksgiving On The Net" site. If you have some spare time, that is worth visiting.A friend of mine asked me if there were any Thanksgiving celebrations before the Pilgrims came to America. The answer, of course, is yes. Here are a few tid-bits of Thanksgiving trivia.The Egyptians had a harvest festival to honor Min, the god of fertility and crops. The Chinese had a harvest celebration on what they considered the moon's birthday. Thinking that flowers fell from the moon on the third day, people watched for them, and whoever actually saw them fall would receive good luck. The Greeks worshipped the grain goddess, Demeter. And the Romans honored the goddess of grain, Ceres (which might be the same as Demeter), and celebrated the Cerelia harvest. This could be the origin of our word, cereal.The Hebrews have been celebrating their harvest festival, Sukkoth, for about 3,500 years. This is also called the Feast of Tabernacles and the Feast of Ingathering, and takes place about five days after Yom Kippur.

Christmas is just around the corner, many of us will have a lot of time to do things we'd normally not do. So why not visit Poland? Too late too book? Maybe. But there's a site that offers virtual trips across Poland and there's plenty to look at.
Wirtualny Kraj allows you to browse various locations across Poland and go for a (virtual) walk across many cities – both major and those less known.
You can visit museums, various tourist attractions, churches, universities and even go inside Sejm, the Polish parliament (see below).
There are also some weird choices – like shopping malls – but judging by the number of visitors to those, they seem to be as popular in the virtual world as they are in the real world.
The site is a great way of exploring new destinations and potentially planning your next trip. So, if you find some time over the festive period, why not give it a try? The site has an English version too, although it didn't always work for me.
Here's my top 10 destinations on the site:
1. Sejm – the Polish Parliament
2. Kraków
3. Hel
6. Książ Castle
7. Tatra Mountains (Kasprowy Wierch Mountain)
8. Kalwaria Zebrzydowska (a UNESCO site)
9. AGH, Kraków

"It's the fourth Be A Hero ," Said Scott Van Duzer, of the Van Duzer Foundation . "This is the event we're most proud of because it makes such a bit impact locally. All the blood we collect stays right here first and foremost, with the trauma center now, the need is so great. The biggest thing we like here is 30 percent of the people who come out have never given blood before so the whole theme of Be A Hero and to educate people is working and that's what I'm most proud of."

you could try www.electronicsboutique.com but I dont know if they do international orders.
I just saw on /. that the Dreamcast will be sold off on the US market at 50$ starting next week, and would like one to give as a wedding gift (DON'T ASK!!)
Does anyone know if it will hit the European / Danish markets at this price too it not, where should I buy it online ?
you could try www.electronicsboutique.com but I dont know if they do international orders.
Good lord. I might have to buy one myself. I was impressed with what I saw of the system. I saw Resident Evil: Codename Veronica and it blew anything I'd ever seen on Playstation, except fmv's, away.
WOW!!! I am thinking of picking one of these up. Thats one hell of a price and you do know you can run linux on it 8)
One problem comes to mind when I think of getting one and that is the availability of games, controllers, memory cards, etc once these things are off the market. I can only assume that they would still be continued to some degree considering the amount of people that already have one of these systems. So....any thoughts on this??
You can always pick up second hand games and places like EB and Best Buy will probably have the games for a while at least. I don't know of many new games, but there is still game dev going on with it (3rd party).
Well this is just too good for me to pass up. My old roomie had one and I've played it...pretty sweet. I guess this will be taking up one of my Christmas gifts for this year ;D
And for any skeptics out there.....I just checked Amazon.com and it is listed there at $49.99 in stock. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...965516-5585719
Don't expect those games to be on shelves for long. Support for this console is doing downhill fast. It's going to be like trying to find Turbografx 16 games. But they're cheap enough now that I don't think that matters. Just grab them right now.
It doesn't seem like the dreamcast will hit the DK market at this price... I'll order it from amazon if I have to!
Damn, that's going to be one nasty shipping charge...
You do realise that an american DC won't play euro games with out a boot CD, don't you? I'm sure you do, you're a smart chappie, but better safe than sorry.
And if they make a modchip for it like the Playstation, I would recommend against that unless you know someone who's very good at soldering. I tried to put one on my Playstation and was soldering the very last wire, then I lightly jerked on it and it pulled one of the pins of an integrated circuit out. I was so pissed, I could have punched a hole in the wall. It was only a few weeks old but I couldn't find the receipt to take it back. And since there aren't any good emulators for Linux and FreeBSD, I'm stuck without a way to play my Japanese Final Fantasy VII game. <sighs>

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Fire flows in mountain and rural cabin areas has been an ongoing issue for nearly a year and the county recently adopted several guidelines.
But on Tuesday, the Utah Fire Marshal's Office introduced new ideas for Carbon officials to consider incorporating into the county's development code.
"It used to be that people wanted to live in cities," said Brent Halliday from the state office. "Now, because of various reasons, they want to live out in the sticks or at least have a recreational home there."
"The thing that many of them don't realize is that the advantages they have in the city aren't there, such as infrastructure, police protection and of course fire departments to protect their property. Because fire help is often very far away and sometimes because water systems are inadequate, some insurance companies have begun a program of exposure protection," continued the state official. "That usually includes an inspection by their company and then they make suggestions as to what can be done to limit the property loss should there be a fire. Of course those that don't follow that advice can be subjected to cancellation. But even if fire vehicles and personnel are available, if the water supply in the areas is not enough to handle the trucks pumps, that is a problem."
Halliday told the members of the county's planning and zoning board he was somewhat disturbed when he heard about the fire flow requirements recently adopted by Carbon officials.
The recent regulations require a 250 gallon flow per minute (GPM) in mountain cabin areas and 500 GPM in the valleys.
Many of the concerns about the fire flows relate to the area around Scofield, which includes mountain cabins in developments like Aspen Cove, where a cabin burned down not long ago, and no on even noticed until it was almost leveled.
"To be frank, 250 GPM will not give you very much," he told the commission. "If I were Chief Mike Zamantakis (from the Helper Fire Department that is responsible for much of the Scofield area) I wouldn't hook my truck on a line that will only provide 250 GPM. With what his big units can draw he would bust the water line all up."
Halliday even took issue with the 500 GPM in the valley and said he would feel better if it was raised to at least 750 GPM.
Halliday told the commission that the county has many responsibilities toward what it can do in terms of fire protection regulations. According to state law, counties can issue burning permits, create a board of appeals in accordance with the state fire code and establish, modify, and delete fire flow and water supply requirements.
"Water flow is a problem in many rural areas," he said. "But many communities are doing various things to handle the problem. Many have followed the advice of section 104.9 in the International Fire Code called alternative materials and methods."
This part of the code allows counties to make allowances for little or no water. It uses preemptive measures to keep fire danger down (for instance requiring that homes with little protection be built in the middle of five acres or more so if they burn down they burn nothing else) or could be used to require fire protection equipment in new construction that is fitting with the surroundings and existing infrastructure (such as requiring sprinkling systems in residences in areas with poor fire flow.
"These kinds of regulations have been used in Utah and very successfully," Halliday stated. "Park City was the first place in Utah that required sprinkling systems in homes. They have a lot of large homes that aren't occupied much of the year, because the are vacation getaways. They got beat up over passing it pretty badly, but since they did it the sprinkling systems have limited damage in three homes where fires started and the sprinklers put the blazes out. If those sprinklers hadn't been there those houses might have been total losses, because the fires would have been noticed too late."
Halliday also pointed out the Wasatch County has a similar problem to Scofield mountain homes in the Strawberry Reservoir-Soldier Creek area.
"They actually have enough water there, but their engines are 40 minutes away in Heber and by the time they reach an area the home would be burned down," explained Halliday. "So they require sprinklers built in when new homes are built in that area."
The fire officials said that sprinkling systems have gotten a bad rap over the years because people believe that when one head goes off they all go off.
"But they don't all go off at once, only the one activated by the fire sprays water," he said. "The average head only sprays 16 gallons of water per minute and in 96 percent of the fires in homes with sprinklers, the fire is put out after only two heads are activated."
But Halliday pointed out that no matter what is done, it is expectations by those that build homes that need to be brought down to earth. They are not going to get the coverage on fire suppression they would if they built a house in the valley.
"We went up and looked at Aspen Cove," said Halliday. "On the top the flow is about 300 GPM. At the bottom of the development it is 1300 GPM. But that doesn't matter there because the response time of the engines from Helper is still at least 25 minutes. People need to realize that kind of thing."
County Commissioner Mike Milovich, who is on the planning commission, said that fire protection restrictions are spelled out right on the plats of the property when they are developed, so people should know.
Halliday said that in one case, a county had land owners who built homes in such areas sign a release stating that they understood the issues of fire suppression there.
"However, attorneys say that if someone visits a home in the area and there is a fire and they lose property, that isn't every effective because the owner of the home had no authorization to sign their rights away," said the fire official.
Some questions arose as to the responsibility of the county in providing fire services and the proper water to fight a fire.
"If the county determines that they can't provide the same services in one area that they do in another it isn't a problem," stated Halliday. "For instance, a man built a house in Emigration Canyon east of Salt Lake where there is not a proper water system. He sued Salt Lake County and the Emigration Water District trying to force them to put in the proper hydrants and pressures. But he lost. The courts said they didn't need to provide that because it was his decision to build there knowing the full well what the circumstances were."
That brought up an area of concern for the commission concerning liability and the possibility of getting sued for not providing proper fire protection.
"I have never seen a suit in this state on that in my 23 years on the job at the state fire marshals office," he added. "State code gives immunity to fire departments and the county."
After Halliday's presentation, the planning board talked about the situation. The mebers also voiced concern about houses in the mountains burning down and consequently starting the forest or wildland around it on fire, creating problems with not only timber and wildlife habitat loss, but also possible damage to the watersheds in those areas.
The board directed the planning and zoning staff to draw up an ordinance that would require sprinkling systems in mountain residences that could be built in the future.
Board member Richard Tatton said he thought it would be a good idea to bring fire chiefs from the county into the planning and zoning process on new mountain subdivisions at the beginning instead of on the back end.
The board will study all the problems that Halliday brought up more completely in the coming months.
