The Emery County School Board met in their October meeting at Cottonwood Elementary. The school board approved the addition of girls golf and boys soccer at Emery High. Next spring if girls commit to playing soccer, then girls soccer will be added as well. For now the sports will be on a trial basis.
The board encouraged the sport organizers to follow through with their commitment to gather donations for the new sports. The high school will begin advertising for a girls golf and a boys soccer coach.
The pay for the girls golf coach will be the same as for the boys golf coach at $1,100. The soccer coach will receive $1,639 the same as for baseball and the assistant $1,100.
There will be start-up costs associated with the new sports. Emery High Principal Larry Davis has talked with the region board and told them Emery will have a soccer team this spring and games will need to be scheduled for them. Emery may also play some 1A teams in soccer.
From now on board president Laurel Johansen instructed those involved with the new sports to work with Principal Davis and the athletic director.
Superintendant Kirk Sitterud thanked those involved with wanting the new sports at the high school. He said they appreciate the excitement and passion they have for the new sports being implemented at the school. They have gone through the proper procedure and process. "I concur with the board's decision," said Sitterud.
He said that in the sports survey 17 girls expressed an interest in tennis and then five girls showed up for try-outs. They have now recruited more players.
A new policy was approved for suicide prevention. The legislature has requested this be added at all schools. The policy was approved with a few word changes including someone threatening suicide not be left alone and two school personnel would accompany that person until professionals arrive.
On Oct. 15, a program will be held in Emery High's Little Theatre at 6 p.m. This will include information for parents on suicide prevention, substance abuse, internet safety and other issues. There will be a lot of information and resources to help. The youth protection seminar is open to anyone.
The school improvement plans were submitted by each school and the board approved these plans. Superintendant Sitterud said he has read each of the plans and they are really good. The schools have done a good job of writing and updating their plans.
Two employees have requested leave without pay in the future; Katie Behling and Audrey Winn.
Principal Dennis Jones gave the principal's report. He said at Cottonwood Elementary they measure everything they do by whether or not it benefits their students.
They are having success with an online reading program they were selected to participate in by the state. The students can also access the program from home for additional practice. The younger students use the program for 20 minutes four times a week and the older students for 30 minutes four times a week. The parents have been given the information to access the program at home.
Principal Jones said they place emphasis on the tracking of students and their progress. They can tell where each student needs extra help and individualized instruction is provided for that student.
The school has 25 I-pads for use and will use school trustlands money to purchase more.
The PTA is sponsoring a reading program and organizing volunteers to come into the school to help. The PTA monitors the programs and collects the calendars and students are given rewards for reading.
In faculty meetings the school is starting to work on the teacher evaluation process and faculty development.
Carol Stilson is in charge of the rewards club where students are rewarded for good behavior.
Johansen thanked Principal Jones and his staff for their hard work in helping the students at Cottonwood Elementary.
Business manager Jared Black said the full audit report will be presented next month at 6 p.m. before the regular school board meeting.
Superintendant Sitterud gave the board members a copy of the SHARP survey that is a health and risk survey. This is done every other year and surveys drug and alcohol use.
Superintendent Sitterud said, "Be aware on the SHARP Survey, that it is very comprehensive and only samples a small number. It does give some indications, but cannot be rated as completely accurate, not only due to the number of surveys, but also on whether the students answered truthfully and took the survey seriously. We use the data to work with Mental Health to address areas of concern.
"This survey is a survey for planning and not for making judgments about the community or students in general," said Sitterud.
During the public comments, Troy Winter thanked the board for their work on the sports programs. Superintendent Sitterud said he loves sports and hopes it works out.
Board member Marie Johnson thanked Mr. Winter for being very respectful and courteous during the process.

On Oct. 19 at 10:30 a.m. a tanker carrying diesel fuel and premium gas hit a power pole at Food Ranch in Orangeville.
The driver was unaware his back trailer was in contact with the power pole and a customer from inside the store came running out and told the driver to stop. By this point the power pole was just hanging by a thread.
The driver stopped the truck at this point and then the waiting began. Food Ranch cashiers called Rocky Mountain Power and they said they would send someone out that day. The cashiers insisted it was an emergency and then they said they would send someone as quickly as they could. Around 11:45 a.m. the truck from Rocky Mountain Power arrived with a worker who assessed the damage.
The worker then called a lift truck to come to the scene. The lift truck had to come from Price so another hour passed before the light pole was stabilized.
The lift truck has an extension that grabs the pole and keeps it stable while the work is being performed. The pole was stabilized and then the truck was able to back up small distances at a time and get away from the pole.
The trucker was then allowed to empty his load of fuel into the tanks at Food Ranch. Crews worked throughout the afternoon. They set a new pole and then attached the live wires to the new pole.
Food Ranch owner, Drew LeRoy expressed his dismay at the amount of time it took for the power company to respond to the scene. He was glad the power pole wasn't pulled down because there is a propane tank which sits underneath the power line.
Also the store was filled with customers and people and cars in the parking lot. Also with the two trailers full of fuel there could have been a dangerous fire.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "We're glad things turned out as they did in this situation.
The Orangeville fire department responded immediately as did our deputies who directed traffic around the accident. The highway patrol also came and assisted at the scene with traffic control. With everyone working together a potentially deadly accident was avoided."

My home is 52 years old with much of the original plumbing. The problem is pieces of rust keep plugging up my American Standard single handle faucets and I know it is coming from the hot water pipes. I thought that hot water pipes are supposed to be in better shape than cold water pipes because of some sort of dielectric rod in the water heater. I have been thinking of replumbing my home but would like to work my way back to front a little at a time in copper. I know it is probably best to just get it over with all at once but I am VERY slow at my projects and can't be w/o water too long. Any advice? Oh yeah, I got a bid from a plumber and he wanted $3300.00 for a full re-plumb but wanted me to open all the walls behing the sinks and toilets and I would also be responsible for repairing them as well. My house is a single story home with a 24" crawl space and it is 1500 sq. ft with two bathrooms. One bathroom has already been don in copper in the last three months and is tied in to the galvanized steel pipes below. A friend told me bid is on the high side considering I am doing a lot of work. Thanks.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Recap: The Claws Are Outby Tattle Taylor at . Comments
Not much can top Tamra's nicknaming Alexis "Jesus Jugs" last week, but with Brooks and Briana stopping by the Real Housewives of Orange County are going to try.
Someone get poor Andy Cohen a helmet. Or vodka.
Let's get to part two of the RHOC Reunion with our THG +/- review.
Andy addresses Gretchen and Alexis' falling out first. It's clear that Alexis is more upset about this than Gretchen is because her hands are flapping around like she's trying to direct an airplane to landing.
Nose job. Sinus surgery. You didn't have my back. Yes, I did. Whatever. If Alexis attempts to look down her new nose any more she's going to go cross-eyed.
And now Alexis' Fox 5 segment comes up. Gretchen pulls out an email that proves that Fox 5 wanted her first. Alexis says the producer said they'd never offered Gretchen the job. Neither woman can see that a producer might say whatever needed to be said to get the job done. Minus 12.
Tamra ends that bit by asking if Alexis still works at Fox 5. She doesn't.
The first question Andy has? How many square feet in her house. 14,300 square feet. Not including the garages and the loggias. And she needed a bigger house for what reason? Minus 4.
Andy brings up Bowgate. Heather admits that maybe she made it a bigger deal than it was. Plus 12.
Up next? Brooks.
It seems like this is the first time Vicki's seen just how nuts she was at the end of the season, judging by the look on her face. This should be interesting.
Brooks clarifies that he doesn't have four kids with three women. He has four kids with two women.
And then he says that all of his affirmations for Vicki are related to the fact that he's southern and that that's how southern men do things. I've lived in the south my entire life, y'all, and this is not how men down her do things. Minus 5.
Tamra thinks Brooks studied the show to learn how to get to Vicki. Interesting.
Brooks then says he was "protecting his lady" from Tamra's eye roll. Because eye rolls are the new weapons of mass destruction. Minus 8.
He also says he wouldn't take relationship advice from Tamra because doing that would be like taking financial advice from someone who's bankrupt. Zing!
Alexis chimes in to defend Vicki and Brooks and is met with a "shut up, dingbat" and "You're so not relevant" from Tamra. Double zing!
Gretchen's relationship with Slade is up for discussion next. It's still Slade's pesky debt that keeps them from being engaged. Slade drives her to appointments. He books her gigs. He schedules her training sessions. She's not paying him for any of it. Minus 15.
In true Vicki fashion, she makes this all about her. If Slade's not an opportunist, Brooks isn't either. And apparently, Eddie's a smooth-talking a**hole? Gah. Vicki. I'm done with you. Minus 12.
The conversation ended with Gretchen calling Vicki a hypocrite. Again.
Briana's on the couch now and surprise! She's pregnant! Again, in true Vicki fashion, she cried for half an hour when she found out Briana was pregnant. Minus 3.
Briana and Ryan moved in with Vicki. So now Briana, Ryan, Vicki, AND DONN all live in the same house. Because it's a big house.
Briana's still pretty hesitant about Brooks. As in, she has nothing to do with him. Briana's take is that Brooks just wants to be Vicki-the-Real-Housewife's boyfriend and not the Real Vicki's boyfriend. Tamra agrees. Plus 8.
Brooks outed Briana's pregnancy and her family wedding to local radio. And Vicki keeps defending him. Minus 30.
And then Vicki called her daughter a liar. On television. Minus 10.
Briana mentions, again, that Vicki probably had an emotional affair with Brooks long before their relationship became physical. Gretchen calls it "weird" because of accusations that Gretchen cheated on Jeff. Vicki says Donn had an affair for 20 years. And then slams Tamra for dating Eddie while she was married to Simon.
There's a whole lot of cheating going on, y'all.
Briana's the voice of reason and Gretchen's on the verge of tears. Pass out some tissues. Or the booze.
As a recap of the season, Heather says she had fun and hopes she and Alexis left everything in Costa Rica. Alexis says she's going to try to be a better person every day. Gretchen says this was an emotionally tough season. Tamra's had a lot of change in her life, including gaining Gretchen as a friend and losing Vicki. Vicki's confused. Just drink already, people.
Cheers, y'all.

Lake O'Hara is a collection of exquisite lakes and hanging valleys linked by a well-marked and well-maintained trail network. These are the most popular destinations and they are all spectacular. Strong hikers may wish to combine one or more of these destinations using alpine routes:
Map (PDF, 350 KB)
Lake O'Hara Trails Club
Length : 2.8 km circuit Elevation gain : minor up and down
From the O'Hara Warden Cabin, go east across a bridge over Cataract Brook, and follow the north shore of the lake past the start of the Wiwaxy Gap/Huber Ledges Alpine Route on the left. Continue along a steep hillside and across several gullies above the lake. At the eastern end of the lake, the trail passes the Lake Oesa Trail junction before passing below a huge outcropping of pink quartzite and Seven Veils Falls.
Length : 3.2 km one way Elevation Gain : 240 metres
The trail begins on the Lake O'Hara Shoreline Trail near the eastern end of the lake and ascends a number of switchbacks to the top of a cliff at the end of the lake. Above the cliff, cross wide talus and scree slopes swept clear by avalanches every year. After passing through a stunted forest, climb over several steep, rocky outcrops on stone steps built by Lawrence Grassi. Just past the top of the steps is the trailhead for the Yukness Ledge Alpine Route, and Lake Victoria.
The Lake Oesa Trail continues from this junction through delicate meadows enclosed by copper-coloured quartzite cliffs and at several points along the way, tiny pools of Oesa Creek are visible below to the right. Finally, after climbing to the top of a short grassy slope, the trail passes through a trough cut in solid bedrock to the tilted rock slabs which contain Lake Oesa. The Wiwaxy Gap/Huber Ledges Alpine Route joins the trail from the north just before the lake.
Length : 5.9 km circuit Elevation Gain : 250 metres
Opabin Plateau is a beautiful hanging valley atop a rocky headband cliff above Lake O'Hara. West Opabin Trail and East Opabin Trail climb to the head of the valley from both sides of the cliff. By starting up either of these arms of the circuit and returning via the other, a tour of the valley can be made.
Via West Opabin: A sign on the southwest end of Lake O'Hara marks the beginning of the west arm of Opabin Plateau Circuit. The trails climbs quickly to Mary Lake, follows the shore and then climbs steeply up an open talus slope for approximately 120 vertical metres until it mounts a grassy cleft onto the rolling terrain of Opabin Plateau. At this point, the All Soul's Prospect Alpine Route joins the circuit from the west. Another small path travels east back out to the head of the cliff, a point called Opabin Prospect.
The Opabin Plateau Circuit continues into the little valley of Opabin Creek. It crosses a bridge over the creek and travels upstream, passing southwest of Hungabee Lake. Climbing over a knoll through more talus, the circuit arrives at Opabin Lake. A glacier about 800 metres long lies at the foot of Opabin Pass - the narrow gap in the peaks at the end of the lake. Hikers are warned to stay off the glacier because of dangerous crevasses. Opabin Plateau Highline connects East Opabin and West Opabin trails on the plateau.
The return arm of the circuit begins on the east shore of Opabin Lake. The trail descends back along the plateau past Hungabee Lake and follows the foot of the slope of Yukness Mountain, where the Yukness Ledge Alpine Route to Lake Oesa begins. Continue through grassy meadows back to the brink of the valley and a 0.8 km series of switchbacks that drop to the shores of Lake O'Hara.
Length : 8 km circuit Elevation gain : 310 m
The trail begins at Le Relais Day Shelter and heads west, bearing right at the junction of the Big Larch Trail which is part of the return arm of this circuit. Past the junction, the circuit then enters an alpine meadow where the Elizabeth Parker Hut and the junction of the Linda Lake Circuit are located. The Lake McArthur circuit travels southwest, climbing through larch forests for 800 metres before encountering a junction with the south end of the Big Larch Trail. The trail then crosses a bridge over Schäffer Creek and a short distance further, encounters a junction with the Lake McArthur Trail which leads off to the south.
The Lake McArthur circuit continues straight ahead at this junction through McArthur Meadows to a junction with the Odaray Highline Trail to the west. A short distance beyond the junction, the Lake McArthur circuit reaches the summit of McArthur Pass where the trail forks. The west branch travels to Lake McArthur via the McArthur Low Level Trail along a rock ledge and through an open meadow to the north shore of Lake McArthur.
Return to Schäffer Lake on the McArthur Highline Trail. At the end of the bridge across Schäffer Creek, follow the Big Larch Trail. Just east of the junction, the All Soul's Prospect Alpine Route heads off the circuit to the south. The circuit continues its return by traveling northeast beyond the junction, descends steeply to the Devil's Rockpile and then levels off in the alpine meadow and the trail back to Le Relais.
Distance : 3.5 km one wayElevation Gain : 140 metres Trailhead : Elizabeth Parker Hut
The Linda Lake Circuit follows the Lower Morning Glory Lake Trail to Lower Morning Glory Lake, then proceeds to Linda Lake, makes a circuit of the lake and descends to connect with the Cataract Brook Trail, eventually ending at Lake O'Hara Campground.
From the Elizabeth Parker Hut, the trail passes through the meadow and enters the forest. It maintains its level through the forest and after 1.6 kilometres, rounds the end of a long ridge separating the O'Hara valley from Duchesnay Basin. The trail travels a short distance to a junction with a cut-off trail leading north past Lower Morning Glory Lake and a short return to the campground.
The Linda Lake Beeline continues northwest and climbs steeply for the next 300 metres. Linda Lake is at the top of the slope. To complete the round trip, continue around the west end of the lake, where the Duchesnay Basin Trail heads west. The circuit continues along the shoreline of Linda Lake to a junction with the Linda Lake Trail, the first leg of the return portion of the circuit. Descend gradual switchbacks to a junction with the Lower Morning Glory Trail or continue on the trail, which ends at the Lake O'Hara campground.
Length : 3.2 km one way Elevation Gain : 230 m
Beginning at the west end of Linda Lake, the trail climbs gently through several meadows heading northwest for about 1.1 km to Cathedral Lakes. The northeast ridge of Odaray Mountain, a 900 metre rock buttress, towers over the south side of Duchesnay Valley.
Crossing a bridge over the lake's outlet, Vera Lake can be seen downstream. Most of the lakes in the area are known as kettle ponds and were formed after chunks of glacial ice melted, leaving poorly drained depressions in the glacial debris.
Follow the north shore of Cathedral Lake for 50 metres, then climb along a creek before crossing into the woods on the left. Following a wet meadow, the trail ascends a small hill and comes to an end as it encounters the Cathedral Basin Alpine Route branching sharply to the right.
Distance : 1.2 km Elevation Gain : 90 metres Trailhead : McArthur Pass Trail
Just before McArthur Pass, turn right onto the Odaray Highline trail. The trail passes along the lower slopes of Mt. Odaray. Odaray Grandview Trail is an alpine route which travels west of Odaray Highline to Grandview Prospect. Note: A voluntary program is in place to limit use of the Odaray Highline Trail. Please hike other trails first to help protect a vital wildlife corridor.
Produced in partnership between Parks Canada and the Lake O'Hara Trails Club, a non-profit group dedicated to maintaining the integrity of this area.
There are five alpine routes above the O'Hara basin for experienced hikers who are comfortable with route finding, heights and traversing exposed terrain.
Alpine routes are often shown by cairns, and may involve scrambling on scree slopes or over boulder fields where the way is marked by painted blue and yellow symbols. Expect early season closures on the alpine routes due to avalanche hazard. Hikers must be aware of avalanche conditions year round and follow protocols for travelling in avalanche terrain.
*Note: A voluntary program is in place to limit use of the Odaray Highline Trail which provides access to this route. Please hike other trails first to help protect a vital wildlife corridor.
Animals use river valleys and mountain passes to cross from the western to the eastern slopes of the Rockies. Lake O'Hara's McArthur Valley - Cataract Brook Wildlife Corridor is part of an established, regional network corridors used by wildlife. This corridor and others like it sustain healthy animal gene pools and access to important seasonal habitat.
There are three closures in place in the Lake O'Hara area to reduce disturbances to wildlife using the corridor.
The avalanche paths in the McArthur Valley are frequented by grizzlies feasting on plants such as cow parsnip. The valley is also a part of the McArthur Valley - Cataract Brook Wildlife Corridor.
After August 15th, when seasonal plant foods for grizzlies have peaked, McArthur Valley is opened annually to two groups per week. A McArthur Valley hiking permit is required to hike this unmaintained wilderness route and can be obtained by phoning the Yoho Visitor Centre.
Adjacent to McArthur Valley and contributing to the corridor is the Odaray Plateau. Habitat here is used seasonally by several species, including grizzly bears and mountain goats. The plateau is closed in summer to protect habitat and to limit disturbance in the wildlife corridor.
The Odaray Highline Trail cuts across the McArthur Valley-Cataract Brook Wildlife Corridor at its narrowest point – McArthur Pass. High human use here discourages and may stop animals from using the corridor.
After August 15, when animal use increases, please avoid this trail completely.
Before August 15, Parks Canada asks you to voluntarily hike other trails first. If you choose to hike the Odaray-Highline Trail, please limit your impact on wildlife by observing the following guidelines:
Serious conflicts between people and grizzly bears on the Odaray Plateau and in the McArthur Valley prompted Parks Canada to restrict access to these areas in 1993. Concerns for both public safety and the viability of local grizzly bear populations led to a five-year study of how people and wildlife use this area.
Research identified key grizzly bear habitat here and the existence of a well-travelled wildlife corridor. To prevent future conflicts and protect these important ecological areas Parks Canada implemented trail closures and restrictions and rerouted short trail sections in McArthur Pass. Public cooperation has contributed significantly to the success of these measures for bears and people. Thank you.

Shares of Herbalife (HLF) were jumping nearly 7% in recent trading, on reports from CNBC that billionaire investor George Soros had taken a large long position in the company.
According to Briefing.com, David Faber is reporting "Soros has nothing to do with Herbalife position, but firm is loaded up on hopes for dutch tender and resultant short squeeze."
It would not be the first time that Soros followed in Bill Ackman's footsteps, as he bought a 7.9% stake in J.C. Penney (JCP), a Pershing Square Capital holding, this spring. In this case, Ackman of course has a different position than Soros, as he previously called Herbalife a pyramid scheme, a charge that the company denies and the stock has shrugged off. Activist investor Carl Icahn also owns a position in Herbalife.
Read about Ackman's purchase of a 9.8% stake in Air Products & Chemicals (APD), announced earlier today, here.

GDB 17: some interesting line changes
Jason Gregor
November 15 2008 10:44AM
Some interesting line up moves for tonight's game. It looks like Craig MacTavish has decided to send two veterans a message, as Kyle Brodziak and Dustin Penner will be in the press box tonight, and Robert Nilsson is back on the second line. Thanks to Ryan Rishaug from TSN, here are the lines.
Moreau – Gagner – Hemsky Nilsson – Horcoff – Pisani Reddox – Cogliano – Cole Pouliot – Boulerice – Stortini
And it looks like Roloson will start.
The Penner benching is no surprise. He has shown virtually no emotion in any game this season. Penner has to learn to use his 240-pound frame to his advantage. Sure, he will never be a mean power forward, but he can't be afraid to lean on an opposing player from time-to-time.
Brodziak benching can be explained by his lack of wanting to get involved physically against the Leafs. Twice in that game there were scrums that Matt Stajan and then Hagman both put a glove in his face and he didn't react. I don't think they expect him to be an agitator, but he can't get pushed around by those types of players. Yesterday MacTavish said, "If a guy has zero across the scoresheet, he has to find a way to get involved. Rarely do other teams get annoyed playing us."
Clearly that was a shot at both Penner and Brodziak.
Expect some fireworks tonight vs the Avs. With Tucker, Laperriere, Mcleod and McCormick in the lineup, you can bet that the message will be loud and clear, and the Oilers will play with some emotion and some sort of physical presence.
—Listen to Gregor weekdays from 3 to 6pm on TEAM 1260 Edmonton Sports Radio or online at www.justagame.ca.

November 15 2008, 10:34PM
Darn Horcoff...
November 15 2008, 10:35PM
Come on......

November 15 2008, 10:36PM

Let's go shoot out - Budaj sucks on breakaways
Doh - Roli does too. Maybe that wouldn't be the best idea
November 15 2008, 10:37PM
Nillson trying too hard to get out of the dog house
November 15 2008, 10:37PM
I can feel the hate bubbling up in me right now. That goal absolutely infuriated me.
November 15 2008, 10:38PM
Good.. Let the anger flow through you...
November 15 2008, 10:39PM
Looks like a shoot out gentleman.
Horc's fault for not hitting the open net. It's a f#cking defenceman - deke him!!!
November 15 2008, 10:40PM
Absolutely. I think Horc is gripping the stick a little bit right now.
Gagner, Hemsky and Pisani for the Oil??
November 15 2008, 10:41PM
I'd say those are three solid guesses.
November 15 2008, 10:42PM
Hemmer, Nillson and Gagner
November 15 2008, 10:42PM
Horcoff. One toe drag and its in the net.
Seriously. WTF?
dear lord
This could go a long time since anyone who can hit the net should score on these two goalies
omg sammy g scored
November 15 2008, 10:44PM
Come on Hemmer.
November 15 2008, 10:44PM
November 15 2008, 10:45PM

November 15 2008, 10:47PM
If they lose this game I'm going to burn Rexall to the ground.
November 15 2008, 10:48PM
Horc couldn't be a d-man - how was he going to beat Budaj???
November 15 2008, 10:48PM
Gentleman, don't be surprised at tomorrows headline. You've been warned.
Bonehead move by MacT to put him in
thats sad
Horc to be benched for the next game??
the worst part about this loss is - they really deserved the W
November 15 2008, 10:50PM
Hey Horc, nice goal right at the end in the open net. Oh what? You DIDN'T score? Hmm...
November 15 2008, 10:51PM
Roloson in a shootout. Yeah that works. A bucket of pucks would have been better.
Didn't a team switch goalies for the shootout once?
Ya - the Leafs did earlier this year and it blew up in their face. The Oilers tried that once pulling Conklin for Morrison in '06

Could someone post a screenshot of the fire rasengan? I still have yet to see it.
I think we need to know the technical aspects of each element first though, like how Kakashi said wind is the most powerful mid range and cuts up everything to nothing. What if rock just crushes everything into pancakes? it probably wouldn't make a good Rasengan to be honest although I would really like to see what it would look like lol. And Kakashi couldn't do a lightning element rasengan cause he doesn't have the capacity to put the two of them together I think, he doesn't have the time or the chakra level or the understanding of mixing them like Naruto was able to gain.

Adios Adidas
"These are the second pair of Adidas sneakers I have purchased where one shoe (right) is shorter than the other. You may say, "maybe one foot is slightly bigger" but that is not the case. I have owned many pairs of Asics and Nike sneakers where I had no issues. To test my theory, I walked to a DSW in my area, tried on another pair of size 9 Adidas in the same Marathon style and Thrasher and had the same issue-the right was tighter than the left!"

Dear Editor,
I would like to extend my appreciation to an Emery High teacher, Mrs. Wendy Whittle. During this school year my younger sister was hospitalized due to serious health issues for several months. During those several months she was unable to attend school. My sister only had three classes that she attended this year, for the rest of her time was spent on the work study program. She was a member of Mrs. Whittle's AP English class. After her first stay at the hospital, Mrs. Whittle called and offered any services including personal tutoring to help keep my sister up with the rest of the class. This was such a relief to our family to know that Mrs. Whittle not only understood but also cared about the success of her students. After our second stay at the hospital, again Mrs. Whittle was very gracious with her time to help with the completion of the AP English. We appreciate you Mrs. Whittle for all of your time and effort.

Perfect season just one win away for UBC Thunderbirds
EDMONTON – The UBC Thunderbirds will face a familiar, and probably one of their least favourite, opponents in their quest to complete a perfect season at the CIS Nationals women's volleyball tournament.
The Thunderbirds advanced to the championship match defeating the Université Laval Rouge et Or 25-19, 25-22, 25-17 on Saturday in the semifinal. They'll face the University of Manitoba Bisons which beat the Alberta Pandas 25-6, 25-17, 21-25, 27-25 in the other semi.
UBC, now with a 26-0 record in regular season and playoff action this season, defeated the Bisons in the Canada West conference final last week in a hard-fought five game thriller.
The winner in Sunday's final will also tie the CIS mark for most women's national titles at seven, currently shared by Alberta and Winnipeg.
CIS player of the year Liz Cordonier led the Thunderbird offence with 10 kills while her national team teammate Jen Hinze, scored nine kills, one ace and three combined blocks.
Quebec conference rookie of the year Eve Trepanier paced the Rouge et Or attack with 13 kills.
"We trust in our team defence, and our blocking, and if that what it takes to win, when our offence isn't at its best, then we can do that," said UBC head coach Doug Reimer. ''Give Laval credit they played us tough defensively.''
First-team all-Canadian Ashley Voth was Manitoba's spark with 17 kills. Fourth-year middle Amy Penner had an impressive .800 hitting percentage.
"I thought we passed and served really well,'' said Manitoba head coach Ken Bentley. ''We created enough opportunities in every set to win, and when we didn't get a point, we were strong defensively."
In consolation play, Regina beat St. Mary's in straight games while Toronto upset number-two Montreal in five winning the fifth 16-14.
The UBC-Manitoba final is at 6 p.m. (local time) preceded by the Alberta-Laval third place match at 3 p.m. Toronto and Regina play for fifth at noon. Matches are broadcast live on-line at http://english.cis-sic.ca/championships/wvball
Queen's wins men's Ontario title
In Hamilton at McMaster University, Queen's Gaels completed an exciting men's volleyball OUA Final Four tournament on Saturday winning a five set thriller over the Guelph Gryphons in the championship match 25-22, 17-25, 17-25, 25-22, 15-13. It is the third Gaels men's volleyball conference title in five years.
Joren Zeeman recorded 24 points for Queen's; Bryan Fautley added 11 kills while Niko Rukavina had 10. Winston Rosser of Whitby, Ont., was the leading hitter for Guelph with 14 kills.
Meanwhile in Edmonton, The University of Alberta Golden Bears and Trinity Western University advanced to the Canada West championship match with semifinal victories on Saturday at the University of Alberta.
The Golden Bears defeated the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack 25-18, 23-25, 25-17, 25-20. It was the Bears first conference match in a month after a receiving a bye to this weekend's final four tournament. Thomas Jarmoc led the Bears with 19 kills and two blocks while Spencer Leiske added 15 kills. Kevin Tillie led TRU with 16 kills, two aces and three blocks.
In the other semi, TWU defeated the Calgary Dinos 22-25, 29-27, 25-20, 17-25, 15-9. Left side hitter Steven Marshall led TWU with 21 kills and three aces while Marc Howatson added 17 kills. Calgary was led by Graham Vigrass with 14 kills Oleg Podporin with 11 kills and four aces.
The Alberta- TWU final is at 4 p.m. preceded by the Calgary-TRU bronze match at 2 p.m. All four squads are already assured a berth at the CIS championships. Alberta is vying for a third straight conference title.

Bull Gulch Fire grows to 40 acres, more growth expected (07-03-13)
EAGLE, Colo. — The Bull Gulch Fire burning on Bureau of Land Management lands in the remote Bull Gulch Wilderness Study Area has grown to 40 acres. Firefighters will continue to monitor the fire and expect it to continue to grow over the next several days.
Smoke may be visible in the afternoons from the Colorado River Road and along the Interstate 70 corridor, including Gypsum, Eagle and Edwards. The fire was ignited by lightning Sunday and is burning above the Colorado River Road in western Eagle County.
The fire is burning in sage and pinyon-juniper and is not threatening any structures or private lands. If the fire reaches pre-established action points, firefighters will begin to suppress it. A crew of four firefighters will continue monitoring the fire daily throughout the active burn period and will call in additional resources if necessary.
Firefighters and land managers have chosen to monitor this fire at this time because firefighter and public safety is always the top priority, the fire will bring benefits to this ecosystem, and the area is remote.
Depending on whether the area receives rain over the next several days, the fire could continue to burn and put up smoke for the next week or more.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Study Examines Efficacy of Darunavir/Ritonavir Plus Raltegravir in Treatment-Naive HIV-Infected People
"[The objective of the study is to] explore darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) plus raltegravir (RAL) combination therapy in antiretroviral-naive patients. …
"One hundred and twelve antiretroviral-naive, HIV-1-infected patients received DRV/r 800/100mg once daily and RAL 400mg twice daily. Primary endpoint was virologic failure by week 24. Virologic failure was defined as confirmed viral load of 1000copies/ml or more at week 12, or an increase of more than 0.5log10copies/ml in viral load from week 4 to 12, or a confirmed viral load of more than 50copies/ml at or after week 24. …
"Virologic failure rate was 16% [95% confidence interval (CI) 10-24] by week 24 and 26% (95% CI 19-36) by week 48 in an intent-to-treat analysis. Viral load at virologic failure was 51-200copies/ml in 17/28 failures. Adjusting for age and sex, virologic failure was associated with baseline viral load of more than 100000copies/ml [hazard ratio 3.76, 95% CI (1.52-9.31), P=0.004] and lower CD4 cell count [0.77 per 100cells/μl increase (95% CI 0.61-0.98), P=0.037]. When trough RAL concentrations were included as a time-varying covariate in the analysis, virologic failure remained associated with baseline viral load more than 100000copies/ml [hazard ratio=4.67 (95% CI 1.93-11.25), P<0.001], whereas RAL level below detection limit in plasma at one or more previous visits was associated with increased hazard [hazard ratio=3.42 (95% CI 1.41-8.26), P=0.006]. All five participants with integrase mutations during virologic failure had baseline viral load more than 100000copies/ml. …
"DRV/r plus RAL was effective and well tolerated in most patients, but virologic failure and integrase resistance were common, particularly in patients with baseline viral load more than 100000copies/ml."

Cape Cod National Seashore Driving Tour
Established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, the Cape Cod National Seashore allows the opportunity to witness spectacular ocean views, explore dozens of hiking and biking trails, and experience the history and beauty that defines Cape Cod. Here's a sample driving tour of the region, based on the Geovative favorite. Next
At the picturesque Fort Hill in Eastham, you'll find the Fort Hill Trail and the Red Maple Swamp Trail, a 2-mile series of paths through open fields and woods along Nauset Marsh. Next
At the Salt Pond Visitors Center, visitors can explore the Nauset Marsh whether by just viewing it from the deck or by following the 1½-mile trail that loops past Salt Pond. Next
The center includes a museum featuring many of the natural and cultural aspects of Cape Cod. Next
Nauset Marsh stretches to Coast Guard Beach behind the former Coast Guard station. Next
Annually ranked one of America's Top 10 beaches, Coast Guard beach is what author Henry David Thoreau once called "The Great Beach." Legend says that this is the first beach seen by the Pilgrims from the Mayflower in 1620. Next

I understand what you're saying and I agree with you. The same people that think gold farming and selling gold is okay are probably the people that think ripping CDs or movies and selling them is okay. Intellectual copyright laws mean nothing to these people, but they do to me and I agree with what you've said.
How do you draw the parallel between copyright infringement and gold selling?
The line is drawn when the selling of gold prevents or causes the developer of the software to lose money or prevents them obtaining the money. That won't happen until the developer themselves start selling gold.
But in Guild Wars 2 and other F2P MMO, the developers are in fact selling ingame money.
And? I'm not saying you cant sue some one for a "virtual crime" im saying that gold farming is not a crime, and if you claim the the selling of virtual currency is a crime since it belongs to the IP holder puts you into a legal bind. You can't prove that any property changed hands if you claim that the virtual currency belongs to the IP owner since in that case nothing except money has changed place. Like it or not pure gold farming is a service, the same way i can pay some one to walk my dolg or mow the lawn. Now if we involve the only illegal part of gold selling which is selling gold of compromized accounts it's a completly different story. And if you actualy bothered to read the 2nd article then you would see that thats what it was about, he "hacked" accounts, got the items that the original account owners payed for and moved them to his own account. But sadly as traditional gold farming and RMT goes you cant make a legal case agaisnt it not in a million years sorry, and yes i don't see nothing wrong with that either. Also during WoW vanilla i used to play on the top PVE server on the US realms, when every one was broke, repairs costing pretty much as they did during WOTLK, the top end guilds that used to raid 6-7 times a week for 4-6 hours at the time actually gave repair money to every one on a daily bases. And i know for a fact that several of them were buying gold to keep it up from money they got from their sponsor simply because it was not possible to facilitate it other wise, a night of wipes which was not uncommon at the time could cost a tank 300-400 gold, and back then that was more than a week worth of farm unless you got really luck on world drops, not to mention the cost of potions and flasks.
Ok, let me restate what I was saying. Making a profit by selling someone else's property is a crime. Your example of a rent-a-bike messenger is amusing, but it does not relate to the point I was making; in your example, you didn't sell the bike. If you would have sold the bike, i.e. someone else's property, you would have been committing a crime.People have been tried for virtual infringements. Sources: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7094764.stm http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27337812 The problem with charging this activity as a crime is it is often difficult to determine ownership of virtual goods. Also, laws that protect intellectual property are often underrepresented when it comes to these virtual items. Here is a journal artical by Leah Shen, entitled Who Owns the Virtual Items?, that explains some of the problems related to this topic. You will have to go the Duke Law website and enter the author's name, Leah Shen, in the search field. You can read the abstract directly from the website, then download the entire document. The website is as follows: http://scholarship.law.duke.edu
I did take the time to read the article that I posted. I brought attention to the article to support the statement I made, i.e. people have been tried, in real life, for things they have done in virtual worlds. The connection I am trying to make is that legislation does extend to these virtual worlds and, as such, virtual infringement has real life consequences. However, I go on to say that encriminating culprits of these nefarious activities to the full extent of the law is sometimes difficult because two key reasons: 1. how determining ownership of the property is handled; 2. virtual crimes are often underrepresented or misrepresented in our courts of law. Therefore, trials often take a secondary path in seeking justice.
In the case of the second article I had previously posted, the woman was arrested for "hacking", as you said. However, the victim of the virtual crime did not seek out justice because he had someone access his account without consent. He contacted police because she had infringed on his perceived property rights by "killing" his character. This illustrates the problems surrounding IP, and ownership of such, in the video gaming industry and why they are often underrepresented or misrepresented in court. Therefore, IP laws often take a back seat to more obvious infringements, like hacking.
So, how is IP underreprestened or misrepresented? There are no well defined guidelines describing what counts as intellectual property. Most understand that non-physical property, such as ideas, are intellectual property. But what about video game currency or virtual items? Do they fall under the domain of IP? Usually, they are not codified under copyright, patent, trademark, or trade secret laws, as is the case with other IP. But does that not mean they cannot be classed as intellectual property? I believe that virtual goods can and should be protected by IP laws.
How in the hell does this even pertain the the original discussion about gold farming? (Opinion to follow) I believe that virtual items possess certain, inherent property rights. Therefore, someone must have rights to claim that property as their own. Further, that property must be protected by laws. I believe that the owner of such property is the entitiy that idealized it, in this case, the creators. I also believe that anyone who uses these products cannot claim ownership as they, the consumers, are purchasing a limited-use liscense (see EULA) from the actual owners. This EULA is a framework that defines and limits the way in which consumers can use the software. The creators can set up these frameworks of limitations concerning the use of the software because it is their product. Further, the EULA acts as a contract between the liscensor and liscensee. Nowhere in this contract does it say goldfarming is an acceptable act. However, most game companies will prohibit gold farming and gold selling in their EULA. Essentially, the creators are saying that if you farm gold, you are not following our contract of agreement. This is like renting a bike from a rent-a-bike company and signing a contract saying you will return it by 9pm on the same night, but then going to the pawn shop and hawking the bike. This is criminal activity.

Yes it should. But I think it is easier to punish the game makers instead of the farmers, you will never stop the farmers, but you can stop companies from doing RMT in their games. Stopping RMT is the first step into stopping farming. Virtual goods should not be allowed to be traded for real money. It saddens me to see those poll results.
Some kind of in-game RMT can be useful to Companies that make F2P or B2P games, and, after all, selling in game items in order to pay, e.g., server maintenance should be a sort of RMT.
So we close all F2P MMO, all GW serie and we will play only P2P MMO. Well, i think that a person (man, woman) do a crime he, or she, must to pay. In jail or with real money (heavy fine can be a good way to stop some sort of virtual crimes. Or doing some kind of useful job for a short time for free).
But i prefear an in game permaban for goldsellers and goldbuyers and other kind of moral in game infringement. Companies can do hard EULA so people must respect virtual rules.
My blog about (no more)MMORPG Addicted - a bog about videogames, cinema, politics and other things (in Italian)
Simple enough solution: castrate anyone who buys 3rd party gold.
No, really.
I have truly lost my faith in humanity...
1) The Polls- My god that's scary.
2) The number of people who think it should be illegal, and why.
3) Most specifically the ones who think it should be punishable by EXTREME punishment (death, 20 years to life, etc.)
4) The extreme ignorance of those who think it is already illegal in their country. The failure of so many who don't understand what law is and what "illegal" actually means in context of a country's laws.
5) The ignorance and irrational assumptions made by so many in this thread without any actual evidence to support what they believe about gold farmers, businesses, law, copyright, prisons, police states, overcrowding, or even the careers of game programmers/artists who work on video games for a living. (ex. Myths and Rumors believed as fact such as the incorrect beliefs that: They don't pay taxes, they are all Chinese as if there aren't other asian countries besides China, they're all evil criminals ruling over slaves they don't pay, the only way to get gold is through immoral means, the programmers and artists who worked on the MMORPG lose money despite the fact they never will since they've already been paid a meager salary and most likely don't work on the game anymore after release, etc.)
6) The kids so dull, they think that just because I made the OP, I somehow believe it should be illegal. So dull that they fail to realize I made this thread to reveal the ignorance of most here, their irrational thought, and their overall inability to make good or intelligent decisions of what should or shouldn't be law.
Just...my god...
If it weren't for the 1% of users here and in the world that actually don't fail in any or all of the above, I'd probably /wrist out of hopelessness for humanity. Thank God there are people in this world who aren't blind hateful ignorant children who believe in rumors and extreme assumptions without any evidence or logic to go along with their perverse perspective of reality.
Want to stop gold farming/selling/hacking of accounts? Follow Entropia's method.
They have a real world currency...PED, exchangeable for real money, you get what you earn/spend. Selling of this currency is fruitless as the amount you can sell it for back to the company equals the same amount, always. Gold sellers would be stupid to try and undersell the company.
Their hack prevention is top-notch, because people have, literally, hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in thier accounts. I know when I played it, I had to go through a rather extensive authentication process to ensure my IP matched my PC identification that I authorized. After the initial log in, as long as you log in from that PC, you have no problems, from a different PC or IP, a ton of problems. IP's change, but as long at it's from the same PC, smooth sailing.
This is the only way to effectively eliminate Gold selling/farming.
Making Gold selling a felony in the States would not amount to much for someone living outside of our country, no government would allow extradition because of virtual world currency fraud.
Felony? Give me a break, talk about first world issues...
If there is slave labor, no matter what kind of labor, obviously that should, and probably is, a felony.
Bla bla bla Eula not a legal bla bla bla US vs EU bla bla bla Service = time bla bla bla
while anoying due inflation in games, its a very Legal way of doing bussiness in 99% of the word. bla bla bla cant outlaw it. bla bla
It's business. Simple as.
Perfectly fine by me.

Gold Farming isn't illegal. ToS are NOT binding legal contracts. You CANNOT get punished by criminal law by selling, buying, or farming gold. There is a large difference between civil and criminal cases, and ToS are not even completely binding in civil cases.
In other words, you can wipe your butt with the ToS. It's not the same as an actual law which a government will punish you if broken.

Governments care. In fact there's a document online of the European Union detailing how to handle Virtual goods and gold farming.
Most gold farming sites evade taxes, and many in Asia use it to launder crime money, yes ppl care.
This thread is very revealing of the community. It allows you to see who the ignorant people are who think it's illegal when it's not, who the sane ones might be, but most of all who the crazy people are.
The saddest part is the OP is asking the question.. If it was already illegal, no one would ask this question. The very thread itself is like mockery in the face of the ignorant kids who actually believe it is already illegal. Grow up people, and actually learn about your country's laws and how the world works. We could use less naivety and stunted moral development in our nation's populous.

To be fair, in Asia RMT is used to launder money, it's no longer petty crime at that point.
RMT is also used to steal credit card numbers from Westerners.
in most ASIAN countries is a legal bussiness (China, Hong Kong, S. Korea, SIngapure)
Laundering money isn't a legal business anywhere, it's crime money, blood money.
It's used to conceal the origin of the money, and RMT is a decent method to do this.
and in USA, France, UK, Germany dont do laundrey money? And u know the bigest hackers are Russians and Avgans, just for the record
Hehe wonder where youre from...*rolls eyes* ive seen other numbers that show otherwise. but then again
im sure youre gonna swear by what you said tooth and nail, reguardless.

The woman that I idolise
Or the hands of an automaton

But if I keep them, and she marries him
Then he probably won't want me dating her
This topic makes me think of Aion more then anything... My god do they spam the chat like crazy.
Should it be illegal? Thats a joke of a question imo. The government takes part in illegal activites to begin with all the time. Your telling me you would join them? Thats all I'm hearing. Its personal biased, nothing more. Let them sell. The buyers will never enjoy the game like it is meant and will not ruin the game for anyone else... If you think it does your nothing more then a crybaby.
If you ask my opinion I'd have to wait for my turn!
I think it is fraud, while there are obviously some serious cases out there where people have paid 3rd party sites ridiculous amount sof money for in game currencies and gotten scammed, it is no different than any other scam whether it be online or in real life.
1. It is wrong to take advantage of people in that perspective
2. It is against the user agreements of mmo's
3. MMO companies should take it more seriously, as it affects the in game economies in a harmful way and dilutes the game with unwanted bs.
No, the law should not be involved with a video game, HOWEVER...there are those extreme cases where people get scammed large amounts of money...while stupidity on their part for taking part in this, it is still a felony to scheme someone like that.
What I don't understand is how and why it is legal for these 3rd party gold sellers and farmers to have adverts posted on websites and facebook, advertising gold for games like WoW and such...now that in my mind should be illegal.

The Lady Pirate's volleyball team has done very well and ended their season with a record of 20 wins and seven losses. At the region tournament the girls played Duchesne and Whitehorse, both for the third time. They won both matches. It was a hard fight but the Pirate's toughness and their desire to win carried them through. The enthusiastic crowd of Pirate fans helped keep their team going and were the loudest crowd at the tournament to the dismay of their opponents. The Pirates ended up playing the Rich Rebels for the region championship and lost after a very tough match. Despite taking second place, everyone was excited for the chance to play in the state tournament the next week, because this was the first time in several years the Lady Pirate's volleyball team made it to state.
The Pirates played Bryce Valley the first match and won 15-1 and 15-4. Later that afternoon the Pirates played the Altamont Longhorns. They lost the first set 12-15 after a tough fight but came back and won the second set 17-15. The third set was an extremely hard fought game. The two teams were tied at 13 and the suspense and tension could be felt on and around the court. The Pirates knew they could do it because they had done it before, but what if they didn't? These thoughts and questions were in everyone's minds. Tired and tense, time seemed to drag and life seemed to be in slow motion for the girls on the floor.
The Longhorns managed to get one more point and the Pirates knew they had to give it their all. Each time there was a side out the lady's hopes would rise but then something would go wrong and it was buckle down, break the serve, and get the ball back to them. Finally Altamont got 15 and won the match 13-15 after an agonizing game for the Lady Pirates. It was a huge disappointment for them and their fans but the girls came back the next day with a winning attitude and won their match with Navajo Mountain 15-7 and 15-10.
They beat Whitehorse 15-11 and 15-10 later that afternoon then their season was over. The friendships and memories of a great season will never be forgotten by the team.
Their "never say die" attitude and their ability to work together and encourage each other helped them win their games along with a good deal of talent and hard work. They finished 5th in the state and in a small way brought the excitement of volleyball back to Green River High School by working together as a team. They ended the season by making it farther than any team in quite a few years has and much farther than their rivals expected.

For example, the approximately 2,100 employees at Adobe's San Jose, California, campus actively engage in recycling and composting programs that divert up to 97 percent of the site's solid waste from landfill. Paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, cans, printer toner cartridges, and batteries are recycled, and food waste, paper, utensils, and compostable food containers are composted.
We are also concerned about the waste generated by the production of our software. Although we do not have our own manufacturing or production facilities, Adobe's Supply Chain Operations team requires all Adobe supply-based partners to follow the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct. These include contracts with third-party vendors for the replication assembly, printing, and shrink-wrap of our Adobe products. Adobe software production suppliers are located across the U.S. as well as in the UK, Ireland, Austria, Germany, Russia, and Singapore. As part of this agreement, Adobe requires its vendors to recycle Adobe's packaging materials when they must be scrapped due to obsolescence or are returned by our distributors.
In fall 2010, Adobe selected the company SIMS Recycling to be our North American eWaste collection and management partner. Together, we are developing processes to recycle and dispose of our technology-related hardware, such as outdated computers, servers, and printers.

Yankees' Boone Logan struck by line drive, leaves game
How many Yankees are hurt?!!!
Yankees left-hander Boone Logan was struck by a line drive off the bat of the Pirates' Jose Tabata in the seventh inning on Thursday and left the game.
Logan was hit near his left hip or midsection with the liner. He walked slowly after the ball and threw to first base, but too late to retire Tabata.
He joked that the ball hit him in "my fat" and said that he expects to pitch tomorrow against the Nationals.
The Yankees envision Logan as a lock to be in their bullpen, and he could be the club's only left-hander with Clay Rapada set to begin the season on the disabled list. The Yankees also are considering carrying left-hander Vidal Nuno, a non-roster invitee, to begin the season.
