North Country National Scenic Trail
Thinking about taking a hike this summer? Consider the North Country National Scenic Trail. It offers hundreds of miles of hiking opportunities and dozens of cultural stops, too.
But don't expect to hike it end to end just yet. The North Country Trail is a work in progress. Just over 50 percent of the trail--about 1,800 miles--is ready for hikers. Once complete, it will cover over 4,000 miles, making it the longest continuous hiking trail in the entire United States!
The trail stretches from Lake Sakaakawea in western North Dakota to Crown Point on the western shore of Lake Champlain in New York. The route passes through five northern states in between--Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
It passes through private land and many public land units, including national forests, wildlife refuges, state parks, and four national parks: Michigan's Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Wisconsin's St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, Ohio's Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, and New York's Fort Stanwix National Monument.
The North Country Trail was authorized by Congress in 1980 and is one of eight National Scenic Trails in the National Park system. The trail is managed by the National Park Service and the North Country Trail Association. But most of the trail maintenance is done by volunteers, organized by the work of the North Country Trail Association.
So get out there and take a hike! Or just take a walk in the park. Whether you want a remote wilderness adventure, or an amble down a country path, the North Country Scenic Trail offers those options and more.

Apparel with the technical specs to keep you snug and dry on the trail often looks out of place the minute you leave the wild. Some people (i.e., the kind who love their grizzly beards) take pride in their durable apparel; others want the benefits of technical fabrics without looking like Edward Abbey. For this second group, we picked ten of the best fashionable, functional hiking shirts.

This ultra-cozy, heather-gray, cable knit sweater from DVF features toggle-closures at the collarÂ--perfect for those days that require you to really bundle up.

9. Giuseppe Zanotti Two Tone Riding Boot ($1,195)
Flat boots are without a doubt an item youÂ'll reach for repeatedly in the autumn months, so it doesnÂ't hurt to invest in a pair that will take you far in style. The Two Tone Riding Boot from Giuseppe Zanotti is a sophisticated classic with an equestrian vibe. The soft black suede contrasts handsomely with the brown leather used at the base and lining the top of the boot.
10. Inhabit Olive Cashmere Sport Vest ($483)
This isnÂ't your grandpaÂ's utility vest! A fisherman style gets glamorized by Inhabit with their Olive Cashmere Sport Vest.

Belton council approves money for study for sewage plant
BELTON - The city council voted Tuesday to approve $93,400 for Goldie and Associates to do a preliminary study for upgrades to the town's wastewater treatment plant.
The upgrades are required under a consent order from the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. The town has until February 1, 2012, to get a plan that meets the state requirements. The consent order requires the town to decrease the levels of ammonia and phosphorus at the sewage plant.
Scott Hanks, the town's utilities director, said the system is about 20 years old and the limits had been reached on the lagoons.
Under the study agreement, Goldie and Associates will do all the planning, studies, engineering work and help with securing grants for the project.
In other matters, the council approved $12,000 from the hospitality tax for the Belton Center for the Arts to help secure a grant to install a lift in the center.
The council also approved on first reading a proposal to amend the business license ordinance. The amendment would allow the town to deny business licenses for reasons such as failure to pay fees, operating an illegal business or falsifying a business application.
The council voted to allow the fire department to move some of its money around to cover part of a 95 percent grant it received for training equipment.
The fire department has to put up $1,488 with the $29,772 grant.

How to Add Unlimited Pictures to Your EBay Auction Listing For Free
I get a lot of questions from people wanting to know how to add more pictures to their auction listings. Do you know that eBay charges for additional pictures? Yes, thats right. Pay attention when you launch your next eBay listing. Only the first picture is for free. For any additional photos you will be paying $0.15 per photo. This does not sound much but you will be surprised how these figures add up: Imagine you add 3-4 photos per listing. This will end up to an additional $0.50 just for hosting of your photos. Lets say you have 3-5 listings a day at the end of the year you might have paid $400-600$ just for picture hosting. The fees can add up very quickly. Do you know that you can add as many pictures as you like For Free and even without using eBays image hosting service? Well, you could use one of the so called auction management services. You pay a monthly fee and hosting of all your item photos is included. But do you know that these services are expensive too? Fees are ranging between $20 and$70 per month depending on your selling volume. This easily adds up to $400-600 a year maybe even more.
item from all sorts of different angles. The potential buyer will get a good feel for the item and its more likely that they place a bid. As mentioned above: You can add as many pictures as you like For Free. How can you do it??? The answer is simple: Host your own pictures! Not sure how to do it? Here are some ideas:
1.Its very likely that your Internet Service Provider offers you also free web space. I have used (and still use) the 10 MB web space my ISP gives me for free. Check the policy of your ISP maybe an email to them is a first try.
2.Find a free or cheap web host but be careful! Some of the free webs hosting companies do not allow that their service is being used just for data storage. Read their policy carefully before you sign up.
3.Search for some image hosting services. There are a couple of free image hosting companies out there allowing hot linking to eBay auctions.
4.In case you own a website you can make a special ebay directory for your auctions pictures.
Upload all your photos and item pictures BEFORE you design your auction listing and copy and paste the image URL into the source code of your auction description. http://www.auction-design-for-free.com has put all the important steps into one step-by-step guide.
Oops! Nearly forgot to mention another important point: the file size of your photos. Make sure that your 3 4 pictures of your item are NOT 1 MB big each. Can you imagine how patient your potential buyers/bidders are to wait until all pictures have loaded? Thats right! They are not very patient at all. If the pictures are not loading within 20 seconds your visitor leaves your site and moves on. There are maybe other listings offering the same with pictures loading faster. So, make sure that the file size is in manageable range.
Youll be amazed how more pictures will add more credibility to your selling practice and gives the potential buyer/bidder the feeling that they can almost touch your item.

PROVIDENCE – The House of Representatives whizzed through large piles of bills at a furious rate Friday as they look to close the books on this legislative year on Tuesday.
Among the highlights of Friday's session was the passage of the measure to designate calamari, a dish made from squid, as the state's official appetizer.
Warwick Rep. Joseph McNamara, the Democratic sponsor of the squid bill said restaurants in California, which has its own squid industry, call for Point Judith squid when they are entertaining important guests, "because it is distinctively better than any other product that is served throughout the world. We are promoting two of Rhode Island's best industries."
"This is really worthwhile legislation," Rep. Joseph Trillo, a Warwick Republican, said sarcastically. "If we're going to be ridiculed about anything, I think this is one of the bills we will be ridiculed most about."
Cumberland Democrat James McLaughlin, said "Rhode Island waters are unique." There is no other version of the type of squid found here, he added, noting that they reproduce every six months so will maintain a steady supply, "which is phenomenal. I can see this industry expanding."
As for ridicule, North Smithfield Rep. Brian Newberry, the House Republican leader, called the bill "the centerpiece of the Democrats; economic agenda."
The measure passed, 62-3.
In other business:
The House passed identical House and Senate bills making permanent the primary seat belt law, which allows police to stop a vehicle if they believe the driver and passengers are not buckled up. The law would hace expired on Monday if action was not taken. Gov. Lincoln Chafee's office would not confirm that the governor signed the bill into law, but the Department of Transportation Tweeted that he had indeed signed it.
Among the most hotly debated bills was one that would allow home child care providers to organize to negotiate working conditions and other employment related matters, Despite more than 90 minutes of contentious back-and-forth, members voted 56-11 to pass it.
Also passed, 65-2, was a bill by Cumberland Rep. Mia Ackerman that would put Rhode Island on a path to divest its public investments in companies that do business in Iran. House Finance Chairman Helio Melo of East Providence said 22 states have taken similar action. Rep. Spencer Dickinson dissented, saying that while, "the sentiment may be good, this isn't something the state of Rhode Island should be involved in. Providence Rep. Joseph Almeida said, "we are talking about a human rights situation that is going on in that country. It's one thing to make money, but it is another thing to make money on the backs of a lot of dead people. Let's put people ahead of money."
If a bill by North Providence Rep. Arthur Corvese becomes law, the General Assembly sitting in Grand Committee – the House and Senate together – would vote to fill a vacancy in the lieutenant governor's office. Currently, Corvese said, the RI Constitution and the laws of the state are silent on how to fill a vacancy in that office. The Grand Committee is already authorized to fill vacancies in the attorney general's, general treasurer's and secretary of state's offices.

FORT COVINGTON - The Canton Central girls hockey team opened the 2013-14 season by pulling away to a 5-1 win on the road over Section 10 rival Salmon River on Tuesday.
The game was tied at 1-1 heading into the first intermission before the Lady Bears fashioned a pair of unanswered goals in each of the next two frames.
Senior Margret Troiano opened the scoring just 16 seconds into the game when she finished off a play set up by sophomore Natalie Giglio but the Lady Shamrocks countered just over two minutes later when Nidia Dearmerya converted off an assist from Mallory Johnson.
Back-to-back goals by Giglio just over four minutes apart late in the second period proved to be the difference in the game. She connected for the eventual game-winner from Paige Glascow and Mary Kait Mace at the 8:03 mark then made it 3-1 assisted by Mace and Mimi Husinec.
Husinec, a freshman, added to the lead just 1:11 into the third period with Giglio and Troiano combining to earn assists. Troiano then closed out the scoring with 3:20 remaining on the third assist of the game for Mace.
Freshman Elizabeth Burke turned aside five shots backstopping the win while Becca Leroux worked the Salmon River crease for 38 saves.
The Lady Bears are slated to play in Oswego next Tuesday while the Lady Shamrocks travel to Saranac Lake on Monday.
For the first time in the short history of high school girls hockey, this season will conclude with a tournament sanctioned by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. The inaugural state tournament is slated for Alexandria Bay in early February where six sections competing in four regular season divisions will be represented.
Canton and Salmon River will compete in Section 10 along with Massena, Potsdam and St. Lawrence. The other divisions consist of - Alexandria Bay, Ithaca, Oswego and Skaneateles; Albany, Beekmantown, Lake Placid and Saranac Lake; and six teams from Section 6 (Buffalo-area).

Sharp NJ70A versus Sony VAIO P video boot race
It's Monday morning, so what better way to start the day than with two netbooks most people can't officially buy. Sharp's Mebius NJ70A is one such device, complete with a touchscreen display in place of a traditional trackpad and Intel's Atom N270 CPU, while the 1.86GHz Sony VAIO P25G has the faster Atom Z540 processor currently unavailable through official channels in the US. After the cut there's a boot race video, plus more details on that surprisingly clever touchscreen.

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Point Forward John Wall: Contract talks with Wizards to pick up after USA Basketball camp by Ben Golliver Twitter Email Posted: Wed Jul. 24, 2013 John Wall (center) is one of many talented point guards competing for a USA Basketball roster spot. (Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)LAS VEGAS -- Everything in due time: first the global tour, then the national-team tryout and then the contract negotiations.Things are happening fast for Wizards point guard John Wall this summer, which really is no surprise, given that the No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft has been synonymous with speed since high school. The questions about Wall have always centered on refinement, not raw talent. He can dunk with either hand at a full sprint in transition, but can he master the pick-and-roll? He can seamlessly execute dribble moves in traffic, but can he control his turnovers? He can outquick and outjump just about everyone at his position, but can he extend the range on his jumper and be the consistent focal point of an above-average offense? He can dominate highlight reels, but does he bring the total package required to evolve into a franchise player?After missing the first two months of the 2012-13 season with a knee injury, Wall got to work on those questions, leading the Wizards to a 24-25 record when he was on the court compared to 5-28 when he was out. That strong close to the season was enough to persuade management to keep the core together in pursuit of the franchise's first postseason appearance since 2008."I just need to be in the playoffs. That's my only goal," Wall said Tuesday after practice at a USA Basketball minicamp. "Fourth year going in, I need to have a full, healthy season and make the playoffs. That's all I'm looking forward to."Well, that and the possibility of a lucrative contract extension. CSNWashington.com reported earlier this month that Wizards officials and Wall's agent have opened talks on his rookie extension, which could net him about $80 million over five years. Wall told SI.com that he expected those conversations to pick up after the Team USA camp ends Thursday."I don't know," Wall said when asked where the negotiations stand. "I haven't even talked to [the Wizards] about it. We'll figure it out when I'm done with this. ... I feel like my organization and front-office people do a great job, my agent [does] a great job of handling that. My main thing is just to enjoy myself while I'm here at the USA minicamp. Just knowing I've got my country across my chest, it's the biggest thing to me."The Wizards face an Oct. 31 deadline to reach a deal. Otherwise, Wall would become a restricted free agent next summer. Any new deal would kick in for the 2014-15 season, as Wall is under contract for $7.5 million next season.Wall, 22, averaged a career-high 18.5 points, 7.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game last season. He ranked sixth among point guards in Player Efficiency Rating (20.9), behind Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Tony Parker, Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry.Before arriving in Las Vegas, where he is competing with a number of those big names at his position for a spot on the 2014 FIBA World Cup team, Wall traveled to China as part of an Adidas promotional tour. Joined by Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday and Mike Conley -- three more point guards who are also in Vegas -- Wall visited Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, playing in public exhibitions along the way."It was a great experience," Wall said. "Another humbling experience, traveling 12, 13 hours, go out there, spread my fans worldwide, see my fans, just try to make my mark and make the brand bigger. China basketball is getting even bigger, and that's a good thing." John Wall traveled to China with Adidas earlier this summer. (Adidas)This week, though, is all about American basketball. Wall has yet to play for Team USA at the FIBA World Cup (formerly the World Championship) or the Olympics, and the competition at his position is particularly fierce. He's been going head-to-head, and playing alongside, Holiday, Irving, Lillard and Conley, among others, on the campus of UNLV. Westbrook, who competed at the 2010 World Championship and the 2012 Olympics, looms as another possibility, as do Curry and Derrick Rose, who both played on the 2010 team. Paul and one of his backups in London, Deron Williams, could be in the mix, too."You've got a lot of talent here and then you've got other guys who aren't even here that might play," Wall said. "You just go out here and enjoy yourself and really play. This is basically the NBA season, who you go against. I think point guard is the best position in the league. You're going against the best wherever you go."Wall didn't sell himself short in evaluating his standing among the American point-guard crop. "I feel like when I'm healthy, I'm right there with them," he said. "I put myself in the category." Promoted Stories Comments

Is Holodeck-like Gaming Tech In Our Future?
By StarTrek.com Staff - September 13, 2012
How many science/technology news stories over the years, especially lately, have started with something along of "Star Trek Tech Coming to Life…" or "Beam Us Up, Scotty, Engineers Create Trek-Like (fill in the blank)"? Well, according to www.computerandvideogames.com, here's another one to add to the list: Microsoft has reportedly patented a groundbreaking display technology – dubbed "environmental display" – that will project a 3D, 360-degree view of games across the entire space of a player's room.
The key element is a 3D depth camera that emits infrared patterns and registers where a player is blocking the signal, enabling the device to track a player's position in the room. Think of it as Kinect taken to the next level. According to the patent, the environmental display would work in concert with Microsoft's rumored Kinect Glasses (active shutter glasses).
A game of Parrises Squares, anyone?

Water polo (M) day 7 - Italy will play Croatia for the final; Serbia and Montenegro fight for bronze
Croatia will face Italy on Sunday at 15:50 at the London 2012 Olympic Water Polo Arena to determine the winner of the gold medal in this tournament. In today's semi final match Croatia, the only undefeated team, defeated Montenegro by a score of 7-5. Italy bested Serbia to earn their opportunity to play for the Olympic gold medal.
In the classification round, Spain will meet Hungary for the decision on which team will finish in 5th place at this tournament. The USA and Australia will battle for the 7th and 8th positions in the tournament. The placement of the following teams was determined after the five match preliminary round: 9th place: Greece, 10th place: Romania, 11th place: Kazakhstan, 12th place: Great Britain.
Italy dismisses Serbian challenge to play for Olympic gold
World champions Italy will play Croatia for the men's gold medal on Sunday after defeating world cup champions Serbia 9-7 in the second semifinal at the Water Polo Arena on Friday. It was a replay of the 2011 FINA World Championships in which Italy emerged the victors and the journey would be complete should a Sunday victory follow the last crown 20 years before in Barcelona.
For head coach Sandro Campagna it would be a triumph. For the moment, the 1992 Olympic champion as a player can contemplate being an Olympic champion coach as he already has the world championship double. Serbia's constant run of playing for championships has been halted and a rematch of the Beijing 2008 bronze-medal match with Montenegro is a reality.
Valentino Gallo (ITA) enjoyed the after-match celebrations as he did each time he scored one of his three goals. Serbia led 2-1 early; trailed 4-2 at the first quarter with two defensive deflections; 6-4 at halftime and 8-5 at the final break. Filip Filipovic breathed life into the Serbian game with a swift extra-man goal. However, Amaurys Perez (ITA) scored his third and most important goal of the tournament, sweeping in an air ball on man up for 9-6, just before the final minute.
Serbian captain Vanya Udovicic responded with his third, but all too late. It came on extra, something Serbia do well, netting six from 10 chances. Italy could only convert three from 13, but then, the Italian flourish on action proved fatal to Serbian hopes.
Serbian head coach Dejan Udovicic on the match: "If I'm honest, we haven't been lucky. They scored two goals from deflected shots at the start of the match, which is very difficult to defend against and we missed some clear chances that usually we would score from." On his players being visibly shaken: "This final was very important to us, but of course we'll be happy with the bronze medal, if we win it."

Serbian player Filip Filipovic also commented the game: "Italy were better and stronger. All credit to them. Now we have to fight for third place, for the bronze medal and it is going to be difficult. At the moment, we are emotionally and physically flat, but we have to try one more time." Serbian teammate Andrija Prlainovic shared his feelings: "It's difficult. At the end we must concede defeat. We didn't play as good as expected. It's sport, sometimes you must lose." His teammate Slobodan Nikic on how he is feeling: "Very bad, we didn't play very good in defence. Congratulations to Italy." On their preparation for the next game for the bronze: "We will play Montenegro and try to play for bronze. But now it's very difficult as we have just lost one game and now we have 48 hours to try and play better."
Italian head coach Alessandro Campagna on whether he can be regarded as a magician after ousting powerhouses Hungary and Serbia: "No, it's nothing about magic, it's about physical condition. We deserved to win this match as we are very strong physically, but also played a very clever, tactical game." On whether the team's performance reminds him of 2011, when they won the world title: "Everybody is on the same level as they were in Shanghai (at the world championships)."
Italian player Maurizio Felugo on the result: "We're happy, we worked hard in this game. Congratulations to Serbia, but today we were very well organised. We're a young team, first Olympics, we are very crazy." On expecting this result against Serbia: "Serbia is an unbelievable team, they played well, but today we won, because we are like a family." On praying in the pool just before the last quarter: "I think it is important to think that we are not alone." Italian teammate Matteo Aicardi on beating Hungary (in the quarterfinals) and Serbia (in the semis): "They both are different teams. Hungary is fast and strong, Serbia became more and more together than Hungary." His teammate Pietro Figlioli on winning the match: "I feel fantastic, speechless, I hate to be repetitive, but it's amazing." On their performance: "We made things a lot easier for ourselves and we didn't waste our energy on falling into their traps of playing physically. We walked away with the game, it's a matter of playing as a team." Italian player Valentino Gallo (ITA) on winning the match: "I feel very good, very happy, but the Olympic Games doesn't finish here. Croatia is the most important game (in the final on Sunday), we must be ready. They play very physically, it's going to be very hard." On expecting to win against Serbia: "It's impossible to say if we would win for sure. We played hard, and we stayed concentrated from the first minute to the last." On being surprised to get this far: "Over the last three years we have always made the finals, or the semifinals so this was not a big surprise. The surprise is that we started off well at this Olympic Games."
Croatia defeats Montenegro to advance to gold medal game
A five-goal, first-half burst pushed Croatia into the men's gold-medal final, defeating Montenegro 7-5 in the first semifinal at the Water Polo Arena on Friday. From ninth at January's European championships, the Ratko Rudic-coached team had the game wrapped up at 5-1 by half-time. It means Croatia will be in the Olympic final for the first time since Atlanta 1996. Unlike Atlanta when Croatia debuted and seemed happy to take home silver while Spain claimed gold, Croatia looks the team to go all the way in London.
The second half lacked lustre as Croatia did what they needed and European silver medallists Montenegro had trouble getting through the defence, let alone brilliant goalkeeper Josip Pavic - probably the best cage man at London 2012. In fact, both teams made a huge number of errors.
Man mountain Boris Zlokovic (MNE) was fouled out late in the third period; Montenegro head coach Ranko Perovicwas yellow carded; and scoring machine Aleksandar Ivovic (MNE) was restricted to two goals, taking his tally to 16. It was Croatia's match with Sandro Sukno edging closer to emulating father Goran Sukno as an Olympic champion. Sukno senior earned his gold with Yugoslavia in 1984.
Sukno scored the 4-1 goal with a bouncer and converted a penalty goal for 7-3 two minutes from three-quarter time. On extra-man advantage, both teams were miserly with what they let through, Croatia scoring one from nine attempts and Montenegro none from 11.
Montenegro's head coach Ranko Perovic (MNE) on his team's struggle to score: "We played as we had agreed to play, but we could just not get the ball into Croatia's net. Our man-up let us down today, while Croatia played a great game and they deserved this win, for sure. We have to play for the bronze medal and we have to be ready for that match. There is no time to cry."
Player Drasko Brguljan (MNE) on where the match was lost: "Their goalkeeper (Josip Pavic) was very good today, that is that. We couldn't score the goals to win us the game. We have to play for the bronze medal. The people in Montenegro expect a medal, so this is what we have to try and do." His teammate Aleksandar Ivovic (MNE) on what went wrong: "The match didn't go how we expected. We were planning to take control at the beginning, but they got the advantage on us. We have to go and win a medal. We need to relax and go back into the next game more focused. We will be so upset if we come fourth. It will be like we didn't do anything."
Croatian head coach Ratko Rudic on Croatia's return to an Olympic final, the first time since 1996: "We have had a terrific series, we are destroying our opponents. We are not winning by a goal or two, but with a convincing difference. That is the result of our strong defence." On their opponents in the final (Italy or Serbia): "Doesn't matter. If we play well in defence, the chances to win the gold are very good. I think that our opponents are going to accommodate their game to our style of play, not the other way round." On his longevity as a coach, as he won his first gold medal as a coach in Los Angeles 1984: "I enjoy my job, I enjoy water polo and sport in general."
Croatian player Sandro Sukno on this being the best moment of his career: "For sure it is and I hope Sunday (the final) will be even better." On whether losing to Montenegro in Beijing 2008 was any motivation: "It was a long time ago, so really it was redundant to think about it. A semi-final is enough motivation." Teammate Miho Boskovic on making the final: "I said from day one that we would be in the final. Our form is going up. It was very tough today and the referees allowed a lot of contact from both teams, but we are delighted to be in the final." On what a gold medal would mean for the country: "It would mean so much to us as we have two chances of gold this weekend, with the handball team as well. We will all go together for the handball match tonight (semifinal France vs Croatia) and then prepare for a tough final."
Spain edges USA and will play for fifth place
Three-goal hero Felipe Perrone steered Spain into Sunday's fifth-place men's play-off with an 8-7 victory over the United States at the Water Polo Arena on Friday. Perrone is one of the class players of London 2012, lifting his tally to 15. He scored one of his customary counter-attack goals, for which he is the tournament's leader, and netted his third for 8-6 inside the final minute with a shot that rebounded off the crossbar and the back of USA goalkeeper Merrill Moses' head. Spain shot to a 3-0 lead, led 3-1 at the quarter, 5-2 at halftime and 6-4 after three quarters.
The euphoria of watching the USA women win gold on Thursday night did not seem to flow over to the Beijing 2008 silver medallists. Big man Jeff Powers scored twice and fellow centre forward Ryan Bailey turned a flying pass into a goal 20 seconds from time to put pressure on Spain, to no avail. Moses saved 10 shots and Inaki Aguilar (ESP) nine, while both teams netted two from six on the man-up plays.
The first quarter belonged to Spain as they got out to a 3-0 lead early before the United States broke through with a tally from Beaubien at the 1:08 mark of the period. Spain still led after the first period by a count of 3-1. In the second the USA started to battle back with a power play score from Powers for a 3-2 game. Spain answered with consecutive goals and took a 5-2 lead into halftime.
In the third, the United States began to chip away once more. Tony Azevedo (USA) hit on a power play goal for a 5-3 game with 5:20 left. Two minutes later, it was Adam Wright (USA) finding the back of the cage to make it 5-4. Spain answered with a power play goal of their own with 1:28 remaining and took a 6-4 lead into the fourth.
Early in the fourth, it was Powers again hitting from outside to close back to within a goal at 6-5. Spain responded with a score only to see Beaubien add his second of the day at the 5:12 mark of the game to make it 7-6. Team USA could not complete the comeback as Spain added a match clinching power play goal with :43 to play for an 8-6 lead. Ryan Bailey (USA) got inside to put home a goal with :20 left closing to within 8-7, but Team USA ran out of time and Spain came away with the win 8-7.
The USA fell to Spain 8-7 in the semifinal of the 5th-8th place bracket at the 2012 Olympic Games. Jeff Powers (USA) and Layne Beaubien (USA) each scored twice to pace the offense for the USA. The US will play in the 7th place game on Sunday where they will meet the loser of Hungary and Australia.
The USA went three for seven on power plays and did not attempt a penalty while Spain was also three for seven on power plays and also did not attempt a penalty.
USA head coach Terry Schroeder (USA) On USA's performance in the tournament: "The expectations were high, but it didn't happen. The boys are very disappointed as they have made big sacrifices. We have to keep fighting. Some of the players are leaving, we are going to lose experienced players, but new ones are coming. There is also a need for a new coach as I'm probably leaving as well." On the domination of the tournament by European teams: "It is amazing. Three former Yugoslavian nations are fighting for the medals. They are physically very strong and that made it dangerous for us, for Australia and for the others. We have to figure out how to deal with that."
USA player Tony Azevedo (USA) on the importance of the classification matches after losing in the quarterfinals: "We know we've screwed up. These two games aren't anything really to learn from. The only thing it does is create more chance of injury. It might be a chance for some of the younger guys to play." On his hand injury: "I just hurt it following through on one of the Spanish guys' heads." Jeff Powers (USA) on getting motivated for the game: "It is a little bit hard playing after our quarterfinal loss. When you've had your Olympic medal dreams crushed, it's hard. We did want to be out there and we didn't want to go out like that. If we had played the whole game like we did towards the end, maybe we could have won."
Spanish head coach Rafael Aguilar (ESP) on how the Spanish players bounced back from their quarterfinal defeat by Montenegro: "Athletes are usually stronger after they have managed to stand up from a fall. Our players did just that. We asked them to forget that defeat and rise for the occasion. They are great personalities so they were ready and you could see that during this match. Everyone arrives a bit tired to this stage of the tournament and it's even harder for those teams who lost their chances of a medal in the quarterfinals."
Spanish player Albert Espanol (ESP) on his team's performance: "It was a good game for us. We were always leading and we are happy with the result. Every game is important. It is an Olympic Games so we have to try to do our best." Spanish player Daniel Lopez (ESP) on their performance so far: "we're not happy about the quarterfinal loss. We are playing well and we wanted medals, but now we have to play for the highest possible position." Spanish teammate Felipe Perrone (ESP) on how much they want to win on Sunday for a fifth place finish: "We can't fight for the medals, but we will fight until the end. It is the Olympic spirit."
Hungary drops Australia to advance to match for 5th place
Hungary beat Australia 10-9 in a rough round of 5-8 men's semifinal at the Water Polo Arena on Friday. It was the second time in two Olympic Games that Hungary had beaten Australia by a single goal. At Beijing 2008, Hungary went on to win gold but at London 2012, Hungary go to the play-off for fifth against Spain on Sunday.
Five players failed to see out the game with three on suspension and the other two collecting three major fouls. The match turned especially difficult after halftime as fists flew and Australia were heavily fouled. Then the refereeing swung Australia's way and Hungary started to gain fouls. Australian captain Sam McGregor, who scored twice in the first half, had an altercation with Hungarian centre forward Balazs Harai behind the play midway through the third period and were both suspended for misconduct. Australia gained a yellow card for noise on the bench, which is not tolerated, as the teams entered the final quarter with Hungary 7-6 ahead.
Earlier, Hungary led 4-1, but Australia enjoyed a 5-1 spell to go 6-5 up before the Hungary levelled for 6-6 by half-time. Thomas Whalan on extra-man advantage and Tim Cleland from close to halfway had the game at 8-7 favouring Australia. Australia went ahead again at 9-8 but the experience and skills of Hungary came to the fore as captain Peter Biros and Norbert Madaras both scored their third goals to take Hungary to victory at 1:10 left on the clock.
After a timeout, Whalan went for a big shot off a five-metre free throw and was called up for pushing off the defender. In frustration, he shot the ball and was suspended for misconduct, effectively finishing the match. To Australia's credit, they came close with just three from 10 chances on man-up compared to Hungary's seven from a disproportionate 17 fouls.
Australian head coach John Fox on being so close to defeating Hungary: "We just fell short. It seems we lack experience in the last crucial minutes of matches. Maybe that is a process we have to work through." On whether Australia is improving: "Oh yes, the team has improved since Beijing 2008. We were close to the Olympic gold winners (Hungary) tonight, we're up there, but we're still missing something in the last quarter."
Australian player Sam McGregor on the match: "A loss is a loss. We played well, but it didn't go our way. We can't blame the refs. We missed shots that we probably wouldn't normally," and on whether they had the same energy as they had in the quarterfinal: "The energy was there, whether we're playing for fifth or the gold. It definitely wasn't as physical as in the quarterfinal." Australian teammate Thomas Whalan on the match: "We did everything we could and gave everything we had. When you are up against the three-time Olympic champions, you know it's going to be hard, but we stood up to the challenge."
Hungarian head coach Denes Kemeny on their struggle after taking a 4-1 lead in the beginning: "Being three goals up, the players just eased up a bit too much and after Australia started to take the lead, they had to find a way to bounce back." On recovering from the loss to Italy in the quarters: "If someone expects you to play as if nothing happened, one doesn't understand sport at all. Still, they are fine athletes and have known it's an Olympics match so they must be up to the task. I think we could have won by a much larger margin, had we finished them off in the early stages after 4-1."
Hungarian player Norbert Hosnyanszky on thinking about the next Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro: "I am only 28, so I believe I have time for the next Games as well. I would like to be there," and on thinking why this Olympic Games was a bit more difficult than the previous ones: "I think there are many other good teams here and they finally brought their levels up to ours." Teammate Peter Biros on the game against Australia: "The start was really good and we kept pushing and didn't give up." On playing for fifth place on Sunday: "I am really sad as we didn't come here to play for fifth place. We played for ourselves and we played for the Hungarian fans as they are such good supporters. I really hope that we can win the next match and finish fifth."

One Million Moms Attacks JC Penney - This Time Over Lesbian Couple in Ad
The conservative anti-gay group One Million Moms, which is affiliated with the American Family Association, is criticizing JC Penney once again for including a lesbian couple in its May catalog, according to reports in the Hollywood Reporter and other media.
The advertisement features Wendi with her mom and her mom's partner and daughters. The text reads "creativity, oil paints" and "freedom of expression."
"You'll often find Wendi, her partner, Maggie, and daughters elbow-deep in paint, clay or mosaics," the ad also says.
One Million Moms attacked the department store company for the ad and are asking supporters to call or visit their local JC Penney and complain to the store manager.
"Local managers are more likely to listen to your concerns and pass them along to the corporate office," the group says in a statement.
In February the organization targeted JC Penney for hiring Ellen DeGeneres as its spokeswoman and asked people to boycott the company.
"DeGeneres is not a true representation of the type of families that shop at their store. The majority of JC Penney shoppers will be offended and choose to no longer shop there," One Million Moms said.

Toyota's Fortuner is South Africa's favourite SUV, dominating the segment since its inception – mainly due to the strong local reputation of the popular Hilux on which its based. That said, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is one of its most underrated bakkie-based rivals, but to date hasn't enjoyed the same sales success due to its limited range.
Which is a shame really, as it offers the most accessible flat-folding luggage compartment in its segment. Compared to the Ford Everest's ungainly lines and the Fortuner's conservative appearance, the Pajero Sport is also the best looking of the lot I feel. Although the brand doesn't offer a 4×2 option, which now makes up 73% of the segment, Mitsubishi SA say its introduction is imminent.
In the interim, the company has enhanced the current 4×4 offering, and though visually similar, the mechanical revisions address the previous Pajero Sport criticisms (much of which centered around the agricultural nature and refinement of its old four-speed automatic transmission.)
Mitsubishi has thus added a new five-speed automatic and a new 131kW 2.5-litre engine, offering an 11kW power improvement over the previous 3.2-litre. The diesel DI-D churns out 400Nm of torque in the manual derivative, while the new auto delivers 350Nm. On road, the power and torque hikes (as well as the efficiency benefits of the smaller engine) are immediately apparent as is the huge improvement in refinement and NVH levels. So before just accepting the Fortuner as your default choice, we would recommend sampling the new Mitsubishi too.Download PDF

A nice alternative to the more traditional under-saddle piezo systems, the Element defies many peizo prejudices. It produces and natural and responsive tone, with less "quack" than you'll hear from other under-saddles. Here is how LR Baggs describes it: "Think you know what undersaddle transducers are all about? Think again. The Element delivers performance previously unattainable from an undersaddle pickup. The streamlined and efficient design removes every unnecessary internal component to improve the coupling between the transducer and the guitar. This substantially improves the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively and open sound with great dynamics and a delicate high end. The Element Active System pairs the Element undersaddle transducer with a pre-contoured all-discrete class A endpin preamp and includes a small, removable soundhole-mounted volume control for added convenience and versatility. The entire system is designed to install easily and features plug-and-play performance. Also included is our Battery Bagg for secure battery storage.

University's John L. Grove College of Business has earned another national
U.S. News &
World Report ranks Grove College 131st in the nation, according to its recently
released 2014 "Best Online Business Programs" rankings. Shippensburg is tied with six
other institutions for the ranking.
According to
the publication's website, this is the third year for the rankings and nearly 1,000 distance education programs completed a survey as part of the process. The
publication said the methodologies used for the rankings changed significantly
to reflect additional data and statistical processes used to do the
calculations. According
to the publication, all rankings include peer review data based on schools'
evaluations of each other. The rankings include student engagement, admissions selectivity, peer reputation, faculty
credentials and training, and student services and technology.
In September, Grove College was again recognized in
U.S. News & World Report's "Best Undergraduate Business Programs" category.
The college was ranked 342nd out of 681 undergraduate programs accredited by
the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The ranking
was determined in a survey last spring of deans and senior faculty at all AACSB
accredited undergraduate business programs.

Another Low Power Thread
Hi new member here. I have been reading the forum a lot trying to figure things out on my own and am needing some help. I recently purchase my first diesel 2000 F350 CCSB and I am having a power issue…oh no another thread on low power. I am hoping to get a few answers to some questions so I don't goof things up. This is a "money is more important than time" scenario. I have a very demanding full time job, a wife and two small children so things may not progress very quickly so I will apologize in advance. Basically I am planning on cleaning and replacing cheap parts before jumping into the more expensive parts.
I have been reading and reading on the forums and have seen all kinds of questions relating back to lack of power. Usual culprits seem to be loss of boost due to up pipe issues or leaky boots and fuel issues. I see lots of people running a buzz test and a contribution test then going out and buying injectors and sensors etc. Sometimes these fix the issue more often than not it doesn't. IMHO.
So here is the problem and the symptoms. I had a lack of power when towing so I started easy and cleaned my air filter and fuel filter. After cleaning my air filter and cleaning out a bunch of dirt in the fuel bowl the problem seems to have migrated to normal driving a little bit.
Symptoms when normal driving – When traveling along at say 1500rmp and I floor it, I feel the turbo spool up and it runs up to 31-3200 and shifts. At this point, it shifts and it seems to hold rpms for a second and continue to accelerate. Then it drops a couple hundred rpms and feels like it has lost some boost and power and is not as fast a climb to 3200 rpms again.
Symptoms while towing (6,000#) – It with the same symptoms above. Climbing pretty steep hills it where it has issues. It lugs way down and kinda makes a chugging noise (which I now think is the waste gate letting off pressure) when it is really working hard on a steep grade.
It has never smoked at all, ever in the 2 months I have had it, it starts and idles fine, I get about 12 mpg around town. 14 Highway. Fresh oil and filter change. Did the blowby test with the filler cap and it seemed fine.
I don't have a scanner and am considering purchasing AE but I want to check a few things out before I drop $400. So far though all of my "deciphering" leads me to the same possible culprits – Boost, fuel, CPS or maybe even the tranny (I hope not).
So here is my plan, remember this is the money is more important than time in this scenario. I am going to check for the obvious items and eliminate them as an issue; Air, fuel, boost.
AIR - I have eliminated the air filter as an issue by cleaning it. I still need to look at the turbo wheel for wear and play…I know, should have done this before buying it, live and learn.
BOOST - I have looked over the up pipes and they seem to be fine. No soot that I can see. The boots for the intercooler system are looking worn so I will be replacing them but I do not see signs of leaking so I have moved on to the fuel supply, for now.
FUEL - Next I am on to the fuel system. I have cleaned the fuel bowl which had dirt caked in the bottom. This did not surprise me since the guy I bought it from told me the tank was filthy and he took it out and cleaned it. At this point I am going to assume he did what he said he did and I am going to work from the front of the fuel system to the back. I know this is backwards as I should start at the source and move downstream so I don't just push the problem forward.
First up - Check valves at the fuel rails. I understand these little guys have a screen that gets plugged and needs to be cleaned out. That is my next step. I noticed something flake like in the fuel bowl inside the little bowl where the little plunger thingy (technical term) sets before fuel leaves the fuel bowl and goes to the fuel rail so I am thinking these things may be plugged. Yes, I cleaned out the little flakey things. Is there some special bleeding that needs to be done after removing these little guys?
Second – Clean the fuel bowl but that is done. I still need to put the new filter in but I didn't want to ruin a new filter with the loose debris. Besides, it looked like the filter in it was brand new.
Third – Fuel pump. It took what seemed like a long time for the pump to fill the fuel bowl after cleaning it out. May be an issue with the pump or the screen in the tank. But as I said, I am moving backwards and will get to the tank if I need to. This will require a fuel pressure gauge unless someone has a better way to test it. I am wondering if there is a difference between pressure and flow? I can see the pump starving but being able to come up to pressure but not make adequate supply under a load. How would I test for this?
Fourth – Remove the tank and check the screen for debris. I will to the hutch mod and the harpoon mod if I get this far. Do I need to buy an in-line filter before the fuel pump if I do the hutch mod?
Well, that is it for fuel system. I will move on to the boost if this doesn't fix it. That will be another post though. I plan to post some pictures along the way.
I will probably go buy another CPS and throw it in just for good measure. Need to find one of the really dark blue/black ones, right?
Thank you in advance for any help you may offer.
(Oh, and in full disclosure, I posted this on PSN too. )

your on the right track.
i would check boost pressure and i have to wonder about that tranny. without hearing/feeling it i cant say. but that shift sounds odd.
after that, IMHO i would get AE or find somoene with it.
If I take the fuel line check valve off that is between the fuel bowl and the start of the fuel rail, is there any air bleeding that needs to be done?
The guy at NAPA has me scared to death that I am going to "air lock" injectors.
i dont think so. it will be easier to start yes. i just dead headed my obs, but i had return line arleady there that i used to bleed then capped off.
7.3 injectors are fairly tolerant of air, it will run rough till all the air bleeds out.
Last night I didn't have time to get to the check valves so I pulled off the air intake and checked out the turbo wheel. It was perfect. No dusting, no play, no marks on the housing. So I can at least rule that out.
Now if I would just quit worrying about getting a little dirt under my fingernails, I might be able to get after those pesky check valves.

Hybrid Camaro?
Just thought I'd post this. Hadn't seen it before. From MT.
GENEVA - General Motors has signed a deal with Hitachi to supply Lithium-Ion batteries for its next-generation mild hybrid technology, due to hit the road in 2010. The GM/Hitachi Vehicle Energy deal also will provide battery technology for the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, which GM says it's continuing to develop apace. The Hitachi deal is the latest volley in what has become a three-way race to get Li-Ion batteries -- used mainly to power laptop computers -- under the hoods of clean, high-mileage cars.
Mercedes-Benz has apparently taken the lead in that race. It plans to bring an S400 hybrid using Li-Ion by 2009. That car will launch in Europe before the U.S., and probably won't come Stateside until late in that year.
The third player in this race is, of course, Toyota, which is partnering with Panasonic on battery technology (Mercedes hasn't named a battery partner) and showed a plug-in Li-Ion Prius at the Detroit show in January and again here at Geneva.
GM's showcase for its next-generation mild hybrid was the Saab 9-X Biofuel concept, a major hint at that brand's Volvo C30/Audi A3 competitor, which may be imported to the U.S. The 9-X was shown with a 1.4-liter biopower (gas and E85) turbo four (an engine soon to make its way into the Chevy Cobalt), with an electric motor three times as powerful and a battery less than two-thirds the size of the one used in the current Chevy Malibu hybrid and Saturn Aura Greenline. GM plans to have the new mild hybrid technology on the road starting in the 2010 calendar year (likely 2011 model year). Like other major automakers, GM has a number of high-tech toes in the green car/oil independence pool, and this one takes a number of leading edge, but relatively conventional technologies and combines them for incremental fuel economy gains.
Think of Volkswagen's twincharger technology, which uses supercharging for low-end torque and turbocharging for high-end torque on a small-displacement (1.4-liter) engine, but with Honda's IMA hybrid technology in place of that low-end torque blower. Engineers have moved the hybrid system's control unit from the engine to the hybrid system itself, making it easier to adapt to more engines. Bottom line is this; whether or not you see mild hybrids as worthy to be called hybrids, GM will use them in the coming decade to power a much wider range of cars and trucks, taking an incremental, but substantial leap toward reaching stricter Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards. Look for the new system in everything from the next-generation Saturn Aura to maybe even the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Camaro and possibly the Corvette starting in the 2011 model year.
BOO!!! Green is bad, M'Kay...
True 'dat.
I wouldn't mind a hybrid Camaro, if it means that I only have to pay a little bit more for the system and it gives a gain of 2 mpg. It might actually pay for itself after a while, unlike a full hybrid system which is a waste of money for cars. Trucks are another story though. Anyhoo, don't take the speculation at the end as anything more than that, speculatoin
I'd be up for a mild hybrid Camaro. In fact I think that system should be standard on most GM cars. My only concern is that from what I think I know about how it works, I don't think you can get a manual with it.
This system is one of my favorites ;) Because I really don't have to think to hard to understand how it works. :bellyroll:
It's really only a beefed up Alternator, coupled to a big battery. The engine shuts down on low-speed deceleration (i.e. pulling into a parking space, stoplight, or your driveway), and then starts it right back up again the instant the accelerator is pressed. Now, with Li-ion batteries, this will extend the Hybrid's capability and allow for 5mph speeds on all-electric power, like driving down your driveway, or through a parking lot...It doesn't have anything to do with Manual vs Auto transmission.
Well....except for the starting up part. :bonk: I hadn't thought of that...though, it wouldn't be much different from any other start from 0 in a manual. You'd press the gas to start 'er up, and lightly ease in with the clutch, right?
Here's a hot-link to GM's writeup of the Aura/Malibu/Vue Hybrid system.:thumbsup:
damn i NEED the parking lot idle V8 sound... how am i going to pick up girls with my hot car that sounds like my lego train
What do you mean?
?Perhaps they are asking if the vehicle is propelled with the electric motors under like, say, 50 MPH, instead of running on the gasoline/E85 engine?
I believe the current hybrids alternate electric power/fuel power depending on the load the PCM detects the driver wants. What I mean is, the car will have the electric motors as the default to move the car, and the fuel engine as a supplement when additonal electricty is needed. That's what I noticed in a Prius that I test drove some time ago. The display indicated the electrical enery was constantly propelling the vehicle and only supplemented by the fuel engine when the electrical supply was deminished.
didnt even have to read the post and NO HYBRID CAMARO!! its a muscle car not a prius!
Oh, I see what you're talking about now.
Yes. And no.
There are different 'strengths' of Hybrid, per se. The Malibu, Aura, and (currently) the Vue are MILD hybrids. The Tahoe, Yukon, and Silverado are FULL hybrids.
The difference is actually very large between the two types.
As I said above, the mild-hybrid system uses a generator/motor (in the place of an alternator) coupled to a 30V NIMH battery. This system shuts down the car when you stop at a light, or your driveway, ect. And the battery runs your accessories. Then when you get going, the motor starts teh engine back up. It also uses regenerative braking to charge the battery via the motor/generator. On top of all that - the system can compliment the engine and actually ADD power during accel (which helps reduce gas consumption as well. The new Lithium system will allow for very low speed propulsion as well, now.
The Full system, also known as the Two-mode Hybrid, was developed together by BMW, Diamler, and GM. ;) But it was GM's idea. :D
It uses twin electric motors actually IN the transmission to propel the vehicle on electric only power at speeds under 30mph. And it compliments the engine otherwise. Hence the "two mode". It's really difficult to explain, (I haven't read into it much.) I just know it's expensive, and it kicks Prius a$$! :headbang: :bellyroll:http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/en...Hybrid_M99.doc
According to this interview with Cheryl Pilcher, they are not planning on making a Hybrid Camaro.

Happy 4th of July, folks
Vizzie Inc. has been hard at work. So hard, in fact, that I'm gonna take it easy with this post as well as giving you all something new and a bit more personal. The video below is a sneak peek at our album in progress ft. the return of our boy, the one and only Artiztik (bio coming soon).
For those of you who don't remember.
For all of you, here is a song that we brought back from the dead. It's getting a frankenstein makeover. The new soon-to-be-released version is behind the previously mentioned video below. And, might I say, it is sounding pretty tasty. Schrodinger's Cat is dead, long live Vizzie Inc.
Joseph-Receiving a compliment at the expesne of those whose work I admire greatly makes it hard to accept. To me it would be somewhat like a person telling me they love VDO "because it's nothing like the work of that hack Stapleton". It'd annoy me as much as flatter me. Frankly, the whole reason I signed on to participate was out of the deepest admiration for both Jim's work here and Jim's superb taste (and that superb taste extends to our newest contributor Spyros as well) and they deserve every bit as much in the way of kudos as I do, in Jim's case more so in fact, as he's the one you can thank for starting this whole goldmine. I didn't even mosey on in here 'til Jim had already been blowing folks' heads off for several months...

Welcome to the The Voice USA WikiEdit
This wiki is devoted to the awesome show that is The Voice USA. Do you have "the voice"?
The format for this show is pretty simple. Four coaches who happen to be four of the biggest stars in music today have to form teams based on what they hear instead of what they see. They sit with their backs to the artists, and if they like what they hear, they push a button, which turns their chair around, letting the artist know that they're interested in having them on their team. If one coach pushes their button and no one else does, the artist is automatically on that coach's team. If more then one coach pushes their button and turns around then the artist decides who he/she wants to have as their coach.
The showEdit
Based on the popular singing show, The Voice of Holland, The Voice USA mainly focuses on vocal talent only where other shows like American Idol and The X-Factor put a lot of the focus on looks and personality. While that is also important, what makes The Voice USA different is that a great voice is what makes a star regardless of what you look like or how old or young you may be.
The prizeEdit
The winner of The Voice USA wins a record deal with a label within the Universal Music Group.
The host of The Voice USA is American television personality Carson Daly, who first became well known as the host of MTV's Total Request Live and currently hosts his own late night talk show, Last Call with Carson Daly.
The four coaches happen to be four of the biggest stars in music today. They are Adam Levine, lead singer of the platinum-selling rock band Maroon 5, country music star Blake Shelton, R&B star Cee Lo Green, and pop diva Christina Aguilera. For season 4, Green and Aguilera were replaced by R&B superstar Usher and Latin music superstar Shakira, who returned for season 6. Green and Aguilera returned to the show for season 5, which was Green's last season. Mega producer Pharrell Williams and No Doubt lead singer Gwen Stefani joined the show for season 7.

Firefighters organize Warneke fundraiser at Marana Culver's
A Prescott Fire truck carried Warneke's casket from the airport to his funeral site
MARANA, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) - The community support for the family of William Warneke, Southern Arizona's fallen Granite Mountain Hotshot, continues with a firefighter organized fundraiser at Culver's Restaurant.
The Culver's at Ina and Thornydale will donate 20 percent of all proceeds from Friday's sales to the William Warneke Memorial Fund.
Warneke is one of the 19 firefighters who died battling they Yarnell Hill Wildfire at the beginning of July.
Earlier this month, Warnake's family buried him in Marana where he lived with his wife. She is expecting their first child in December.
Northwest Fire Captain Adam Goldberg tells 9 On Your Side the community keeps on stepping up to support one its own.
"Just the outpouring of support, the love of the community for one of its own, and the family," Goldberg said, "personally it touches me to know that we still have that small town response even though we're a very big city."
From 5-8 p.m., firefighters from the different local departments will be at the Culver's for a fill-the-boot style fundraiser. They will also be selling $20 commemorative t-shirts remember the Granite Mountain Hotshots.
The goal is to raise 10-thousand dollars, Goldberg said, but he expects they'll well exceed that goal.
Families should bring cameras because firefighters and fire trucks will be on hand Friday evening for photo opportunities, Goldberg said.

Internationally acclaimed rhythm and blues vocalist Percy Sledge will be the headline act for the highly anticipated R&B Reggae Concert scheduled for March 1 on the grounds of Jamaica College, Old Hope Road, Kingston.
Staged by R&B Reggae Promotions, the concert seeks to combine two of the genres that are most loved and appreciated by Jamaican - reggae and R&B. Therefore, a cadre of talented reggae acts is slated to join Percy Sledge in concert and thrill the audience with a plethora of hit songs starting from the decades of the '80s to the present.
Among the reggae artistes scheduled to perform are the incomparable John Holt, George Nooks, Gem Myers, A.J. Brown, Bagga Case (Home T) and Breezy McKenley, along with Digicel Rising Stars alums Noddy Virtue, Jodi-Ann Pantry and Nikiesha Barnes.
To take the musical appreciation up a notch will be Winston Blake, the maestro of the legendary Merritone Music, who will set the turntables in motion. All artistes will be backed by one of the most enduring and sought-after bands in reggae music, Fab Five.
Percy Sledge is best known in Jamaica for songs such as Cover Me, When A Man Loves A Woman, and My Girl, among others. He has had his songs covered by both reggae and dancehall acts and is undoubtedly a favourite among Jamaicans, both the young and not-so-young.

Comment Re:Doors closed to stupid people (Score 1) 1010
Hmm... I was focused more on the idea of not teaching it in high school. I can see your point. My counterargument is that a Bachelor's of Arts/Science should connote some base level of proficiency in all basic fields, as well as deeper study in the area of concentration. I concede that my viewpoint is not universally accepted, though.
