The new LLB English Law & Hong Kong Law (M190) programme at King's College London is an exciting and innovative dual degree course which gives you the opportunity to study two legal systems for two years at King's and three years at Hong Kong University.
As well as obtaining a qualifying English law degree, you also obtain a qualifying Hong Kong law degree, meaning once you have successfully completed the programme you can gain access to the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws (PCLL) and obtain a legal qualification in Hong Kong.
International legal practice increasingly requires lawyers who are appropriately qualified in more than one jurisdiction, and individuals trained through this joint programme are expected to be highly valued by international law firms and multinational companies. The LLB English Law & Hong Kong Law programme aims to give you a better understanding of the law by offering you the chance to compare both systems, leaving you in a better position to advise clients in legal practice and have the opportunity to widen your intellectual horizon.
This is a five-year degree programme whereby for the first two years you study at King's College London and then the last three years are spent at Hong Kong University. The first year you will follow the four core modules applicable to all LLB programmes at King's. In your second year there are no core modules, however if you wish to obtain a qualifying law degree in England/Wales and in Hong Kong, you must pass the Law of Tort, Law of Property and Law of Trusts modules. Your fourth module can be chosen from a list of optional modules.
Please note: students on this programme follow the 2+3 study model, and pay King's fees while at King's in years 1 and 2, and HKU fees while at HKU in years 3, 4 and 5. Please note that there is no student loan opportunities available during the three years spent at HKU.
We have many highly active student-run societies as well as King's award-winning students' union, KCLSU, who organises a wide variety of social, sporting and cultural activities.
Both the King's College London Law Society and Bar Society organise a number of social and career-oriented functions;, such as internal and external mooting competitions;, skills workshops;, mock interview sessions;, lecture series with prestigious barristers and other legal practitioners;, and the Annual Black Tie Dinner; and the Inaugural Freshers' Party.
The Pro Bono Society support and promote legally-related volunteer work and education to the community, and runs a number of exciting projects for students to get involved with, such as StreetLaw;, Amicus;, Law Mentoring; and The Legal Clinic (assisted by esteemed City law firm Speechly Bircham) to mention a few. Involvement with the society is a great way to contribute to the community as well as looking great on your CV due to the skills gained in the process.

The wide range of societies on offer means you will always find a society that suits you best. I am currently Vice-President of the King's College London Public Awareness and Social Service Society (KCL PASS). We host an array of events ranging from career talks to charity sales and volunteer trips, all of which have been a good way to step away from books and studying.
Aside from academics, being near the heart of London holds valuable cultural and social opportunities, as well as strong links and easy access to professionals in your chosen field of study.
Studying at King's has been a remarkable experience so far. As my two years at King's draws to a close and I return to Hong Kong for the last part of the course, I take home with me memories that will last a lifetime.
So far, I can say that studying at King's has been a fantastic experience. The Law school's professors are all renowned experts in their field and deliver high-quality lectures that really foster one's understanding of difficult areas of the law. Tutors genuinely care about students' study progress and are a constant source of help and support.
The social side is also great. London is a very interesting and international city and so it's easy to 'fit in' even if you are not from the UK. There are countless student clubs and societies at King's and it is fun to get involved and get to know new people.
So far, the reactions to this new English Law and Hong Kong Law programme have also been extremely positive. In fact, it was this programme which made me stand out and enabled me to secure a vacation scheme at a city law firm which has strong links to Hong Kong and China.
My first-year experience at King's proves my decision to be a wise one. At King's, professors who are all esteemed scholars at their respective fields are eager to guide students through their studies. Being amicable, they always put me at ease and as such, students almost certainly enjoy discussions, which very often spark thought-provoking notions on various legal issues, during lectures and tutorials.
As well as the academic staff, the Careers Service is another invaluable resource to students at King's. It always keeps abreast of the latest development in the legal profession and thus can offer up-to-date advice to us. As a prospective lawyer, I found careers talks and networking opportunities organised by the service very insightful to my future career plans.
Putting study aside, I am truly amazed by the diversity of students in London. Last year I lived in an intercollegiate hall where students come from all around the world. Students living next to my room came from Singapore, the US, Spain and Britain. It was a great experience of how people from different culture and backgrounds converge and interact.
All in all, studying at King's has opened up an indefinite amount of opportunities and continues to offer me numerous exciting experiences!

Updated 01/10/2013 06:48 PM
By: Madeleine Rivera
The multi-million dollar project to improve and expand the Pittsfield Municipal Airport is nearly done. YNN's Madeleine Rivera has more on how this will likely boost not only the plane traffic, but the economy in the Berkshires as well.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- Not too long ago, flying a jet this low to the runway would have been dangerous. That's because the runway approach used to be covered with trees.
"That's really what the project's about. It's all about safety," said Mark Germanowski, the airport manager.
For the last two years, construction has gone on at the Pittsfield Municipal Airport to make landing here safer for pilots. Other improvements made include leveling off these steep embankments, extending the runway and adding obstruction lights to trees.
"It's really a non-event for the airport and operational pilots now, as opposed to before where you had to navigate through obstructions," said Germanowski.
The project cost about $22.5 million and was funded by the FAA, MassDOT and the City of Pittsfield. After 12 years of planning and those two years of construction, it's nearly done. And there's already a boost in the number of corporate jets hitting the runway.
"With a facility like this that is now able to be more weather, it certainly now has the ability to be attractive to a corporation," said Germanowski.
Germanowski says they're on winter shutdown so no work is being done except for these construction workers who are installing cable wires for the obstruction lights. But they've come a long way since they started construction about two years ago. Germanowski says they've moved over a million cubic feet of earth to extend the runway and build the safety areas.
"They've taken almost all the trees. They've left maybe 300 feet," said Denise Crane, who lives by the airport.
There's opposition from folks like her. She says it's much noisier since the runway was extended.
"Of course, there's an advantage to the pilots, and I never want anything to go wrong with that. I just don't think they've done right by the houses that are left here," said Crane.
"You're never going to please everyone," said Germanowski.
Though the airport is fully operational, its ribbon cutting will take place sometime in the summer.

"I look forward to it," Trinity, 10, said Saturday morning. "I get to see friends and meet new ones."
Trinity has told friends about the campout and how there is plenty to do at the overnight event.
"I tell them that it's really fun and they should come," she said.
Trinity was among the 311 Pomona children ages 9 to 12 who participated in the free event that began Friday evening and concluded Saturday morning.
This year's attendance was the highest of the campout's seven years, said Pomona police Lt. Eddie Vazquez, an organizer of the event.
"We're pleased with the community workers, pleased with the community support and absolutely pleased with the participation by everyone," he said.
The Great Campout is organized by members of the Pomona Police Department and the Community Engagement Group, consisting of Pomona residents, business people, members of law enforcement, clergy and others who are dedicated to putting on safe, fun activities for Pomona children.
Youth take part in a variety of activities that include visiting Police Department displays and demonstrations, playing games, completing craft projects. In addition they have a chance to sleep under the stars. All this takes place at the same time they interact with members of law enforcement in a positive atmosphere.
Biruk Johnson, 9, a first-time attendee, was among a group of campers dancing along with Pomona police Officer Stacie Paraska, a school resource officer.
Biruk was all smiles as he danced next to Paraska.
"I like to dance," he said.
Paraska was among a group of officers who were at the campout from start to finish.
"It's great to come out," she said.
Participating with the kids is important, she said.
"When you interact with them they see a different side of you. They see you're not a robot," she said.
While members of the Kiwanis Club of Pomona cooked up a breakfast for campers on Saturday, members of the Police Department served the meal.
"Here you go," said Officer Ernesto Rios as he placed sausages on a boy's plate.
"My man! Smile for me," Rios said before serving another.
It was the first campout for Rios, who in January became a school resource officer.
Rios teaches the Gang Resistance Education and Training program in Pomona schools. Some of his students were at the campout and came to chat with him.
"They'll come up to, and that part is cool. You know they remember you," he said.
Such activities allow youth to interact with officers in an environment where they begin police not just as officers but also as role models, Rios said.
As successful as the event has been, putting it on has become challenging due to the weak economy, said Vazquez said.
As challenging as it is to raise the money to organize the event "it's one of those labors of love," Vazquez said.
The event has also become a tradition.
"The event in and of itself has grown legs," he said. "The young siblings of (past campers) have waited their turn to go" to the campout.
With support from residents, businesses, non-profits and service clubs in addition to in-kind donations from other groups, including Fairplex, the event is able to go on, he said.
It's because of donations that everything from the food to the prizes are provided.
On Saturday morning J.D. Knudtson, 9, sat on the lawn of Park Square and waited for his number to be called as part of the drawing that closed out the Great Campout.
Number after number was called, but not his.
Finally the last number. It was his.
The prize?
A new mountain bike.
"Are you excited?" asked Paraska.
"Yeah!" he said as he raised his arms in the air.

Project For Awesome Charity Video Makers Webjack YouTube
YouTube is not just for wasting hours and hours of time or making videos of your cat snoring or buddy falling flat on his face. Today at noon (EST), some dedicated YouTube users are taking over the online video site and using it to make the world more awesome. Participants in Project For Awesome (P4A) have been asked to make a video about their favourite charity, upload it to the site and then encourage YouTubers to comment on and rate the videos. Check out the submissions here.
"As these videos climb the most-discussed and top-rated pages, the videos slowly start to take over the entire site," says copy on the P4A web site. "Last year, we caught the staff of YouTube completely off guard, and they couldn't believe we'd duped them and, in a way, hacked their site. We're hoping to do them one better this year.
"So on this one day out of 365, we're all making videos with the same screenshot, the same titles, and the same theme: We want to make the world a better place, and so we're thanking people who have dedicated their lives to do that, and promoting their cause with our time and our money."

In the real world, I use it at my laptop's USB 3.0 to transfer 10-15 GB files- 10-20 movies. The average speed is 78 mb. It's twice faster than my hitachi hd725050gla360. Cons: I experience that the drive is noise. when I open a folder from the Back up Plus, I hear two "clicking" sound. when the drive spins, it is much noisier than my western digital external drive, which I bought 1 year ago. I can hear the spinning sound from 5 feet away. The "clicking" sound is much noisier than spinning. I currently use 4 drives, the Back up Plus 4 TB is the noisiest drive. its sound is as high as my 7 years old drive. I don't understand that why it is so noise. bad drive? I don't know right now. Other Thoughts: anyone can help with the noise? I appreciate it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Backup Plus 4TBPros: Quick delivery, ordered it on a Friday and got it the following day. This is the first time that I've had an item delivered on a Saturday. The drive is a ST400DM000 CC51 firmware. Benchmarked it using 100 read/writes using 50Mb file size and it came out 138 Mb/s read and 129 Mb/s write using USB3 on a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 motherboard with 16Gb of RAM running linux. Ran s.m.a.r.t. long and conveyance tests on it which it passed. Cons: none so far. Other Thoughts: Haven't put anything on it yet, just doing a 7 pass random data wipe of the free space to see if any sectors fail. I've had a Seagate 1.5TB fail on me with the click of death. Did you find this review helpful? |
Speed is Not equivalent to USB 3.0Pros: Large Capacity Cons: Slow transfer speeds across USB 3.0 cable and Port. Other Thoughts: I guess they do not indicate the drive is very fast in the details, however, they do list USB 3.0, so I would EXPECT USB 3.0 average speeds. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Seagate Backup plus 3TBPros: Surprising fast, transfer 700 GB of data took about 1 hour via USB 3.0 with average speed around 120+ Mbps Cons: none so far, but have to wait and see Did you find this review helpful? |
my second reviews....Pros: the product is working great... so far, but still I had my fingers cross due to my bad experiment with Seagate HD in the past. The avereage transfering speed is @ 65mb/s Cons: the USB cable head that connect to this external HD is loose so it is very POORLY CONNECTING. At first I thought that my pc was allowing the HD to fall into sleep state because it would automaticly disconnect from time to time but I had checked and confirmed of my pc's settings and then only to discovered that the USB cable head issue. I had to lightly tap on its head everytime to re-connect it. The way Seagate designed the head to be too slim therefore it does not provide a firm lock nor a secure connection. I had couple of Buffalo Ext. HD and their cable head provide a much more secure connection. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not near 4TB, and weird connectorPros: Small, light weight, quiet Cons: Only 3.6TB formatted, the connector on the drive is a weird non-usb non-firewire non-thunderbolt connector so don't lose the cable. 0 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
USB Speed Not GoodPros: I purchased and it was shipped quickly, Thank you NewEgg. Cons: I had the drive running for about 3 minutes and it seemed to warm up fairly quickly for that short amount of time, guess I can only watch it. There is a small amount of vibration when you touch the case, neither of these are a huge deal though. The big disappointment is the speed. I have it connected to a NetGear 1.0 GB Router, via a 3.0 USB port on the back of the router. When copying from my desktop, the best speed I can achieve is 8.27 MB/s, I am sorely disappointed in this speed, I would expect to at least beat my USB flash drives that reach 30 MB/s. This is just a complete failure for this drive. 2 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Horribly slowPros: It works and it's cheap Cons: This drive is terribly slow. It takes 2X as long to transfer files to this drive as it does to the Fantom drive I purchased about 6months ago. This drive is a joke. 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome! Excellent bang for buck!Pros: This hard drive is a high-capacity high-speed high-performance powerhouse. I consistently get around 140 MB/s transfer rate when I'm moving movies and games to and from it, and it handles multiple transfers without issue. It produces very little heat, and is a lot more quiet than its predecessors, I can only hear it when the drives spin up for the first time before my laptop fans kick in. Cons: The software it comes with is utter junk, but for someone who isn't savvy I could see it coming in handy. Additionally, I had the previous version before and if you're moving it around alot, the dock has a bad problem with the USB 3.0 port getting stripped. So, be gentle with it. Other Thoughts: Definitely reformat the thing so you don't have to deal with the bloatware that it comes shipped with. If you want to backup your facebook pictures and you're looking at this device, I think your priorities should probably change. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

I worked with Justin extensively for BuzzTown.com's regional expansion into Grand Junction, CO. We had a big empty space in an old building and needed to create an office space appropriate to the company's varied needs. I was looking for creative ideas and he went above and beyond. After we chose a direction he was very helpful and professional in providing permit drawings. He did the research and gave us exactly what we needed for Grand Junction building codes. He builds in 3D which gives him the ability to quickly provide 3D renderings and elevations and changes to the initial design on the fly. I really can't emphasis enough how helpful he was during the design, permit and build process for a very important, out of town project.

MEDIA ADVISORY: PEPCO Potomac Oil Spill UpdateOn Sunday, January 23, at approximately 10:30 a.m., the Alexandria Fire Department responded to the PEPCO River Power Station, 1400 N. Royal St., which had reported oil in the Potomac River. The oil leak resulted from a broken PEPCO intake pipe that separated from an electric transformer, allowing oil used as a coolant to flow into the emergency containment reservoir. Some of the oil reached the river water intake area of the GenOn Energy Plant (formerly the Mirant Potomac River Generating Station) and the shore line. PEPCO, the entity responsible for the leak and cleanup, will be working 24 hours until cleanup is complete. PEPCO is working and communicating with GenOn Energy, the United Stated Coast Guard, and the Alexandria Fire Department until the cleanup is complete. All the necessary federal and state agencies have been notified and are assisting with the spill cleanup. The incident remains under investigation, and spill amount estimates are still being calculated.

I purchased the 30h model after researching numerous reels. I paired it up with a 9ft Tica rod. A friend of mine owns 3 of these reels in the 20h model and referred me to this reel. I normally fish with spinning reels and this was my first purchase of a casting reel for surf fishing @ the Outer Banks. I was totally amazed with the ease of casting long distances with this reel without any backlashes using 3-6 ounce weights. Not to mention the smoothness and power of retreiving the heavy sinkers in strong currents. This is by far one of the best reels out there. You should go purchase one today.I am going to purchase the 20h model also.

Men, this is incredible! I cant believe these people statements (Dr Carlo Kopp, Peter Goon). Ok, can someone with modern aerial combat knowlege demonstrates the contrary of this "facts" , please???
1) Analysis of PAK-FA prototype airframe aerodynamic features shows a design which is superior to all Western equivalents, providing ŌĆśextreme agilityŌĆÖ, superior to that of the Su-35S, through much of the flight envelope.
2) The available evidence demonstrates at this time that a mature production PAK-FA design..., and will outperform the F-22A Raptor aerodynamically and kinematically.
3) While the PAK-FA firmly qualifies as a fifth generation design, it has two further attributes absent in the extant F-22 design. The first is extreme agility, resulting from advanced aerodynamic design, exceptional thrust/weight ratio performance and three dimensional thrust vectoring integrated with an advanced digital flight control system. The second attribute is exceptional combat persistence, the result of a 25,000 lb internal fuel load. The internal and external weapon payload are likely to be somewhat larger, though comparable to those of the F-22A.

So far only they say it is a 'technology demonstrator'
Doesn't appear to be very stealthy, still lots of flat/square lines along the body.
Looking at the photos given online and the video; the inlets appear horrible for RCS. They still have splitter-plates/diverters at the top edges.
"testing is to last another 5 to 6 years" as the video says? Good luck with that guys.
When they build more than 5 of them with the advertised avionics and advanced engines that aren't 'rehashed' AL31s, I'll take it seriously.
[Airplanes are] near perfect, all they lack is the ability to forgive.

Quotes taken form APA...
Disclosures indicate that the avionic suite and systems fit will be derived from the Su-35S design, with the important difference in the use of an very high power-aperture product X-band multimode primary AESA radar. Five AESA apertures are intended for production PAK-FA aircraft. The highly integrated avionic suite is intended to provide similar data fusion and networking capabilities to the F-22A Raptor.
Okay, so let's see. The full capabilities of the F-22A avionics have NEVER been made public. Yet somehow the APA in it's infinite wisdom(and others) is able to discern that the unknown PAK FA avionics suite designed by a nation that demonstrated absolute incompetence in battle management during the 2008 Georgia war, has NEVER deployed an operation AESA on a fighter and only by highly sanitized press releases is declaring authoritatively that the PAK FA will rival the Raptor in this domain. Yeah, okay, here is more...
The available evidence demonstrates at this time that a mature production PAK-FA design has the potential to compete with the F-22A Raptor in VLO performance from key aspects, and will outperform the F-22A Raptor aerodynamically and kinematically. Therefore, from a technological strategy perspective, the PAK-FA renders all legacy US fighter aircraft, and the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, strategically irrelevant and non-viable after the PAK-FA achieves IOC in 2015.
What evidence? Certainly not from this prototype. Out perform Raptor and we can see Flanker engines glued onto it? Yeah, sure. Lets suppose for sake of argument that's true in a world where crack cocaine smoking is legal...
Detailed strategic analysis indicates that the only viable strategic survival strategy now remaining for the United States is to terminate the Joint Strike Fighter program immediately, redirect freed funding to further develop the F-22 Raptor, and employ variants of the F-22 aircraft as the primary fighter aircraft for all United States and Allied TACAIR needs.
"Detailed strategic analysis"...lol. WTF? What detailed analysis? Okay, lets give them a pass for a second. SO I guess we gotta terminate the F-35, all our obviously outclassed F-teens and guess what. BUY MORE F-22's they just finished telling you that PAK FA outclasses...LMAO. YOu have to wonder does anyone actually proof read anything on that website! Never mind the fact that F-22 cannot handle all TACAIR needs!
What utter incompetence. I hope this simple to debunk APA nonsense shows all the quality of an APA analysis or rather the lack thereof. Never reference AOA if the intent is to be taken seriously...

You could've stopped right there, and that would've mitigated your concerns.
The 2 things you need to consider whenever you see fanciful claims are that no one who's making comparisons of aircraft knows either
A- what the true capabilities are of the F-22
B- what the true capabilities of the PAK FA will be, once it's a mature system.
Additionally, they have no idea what the capabilities of the F-22 will be, by the time the PAK FA is a mature system(i.e. it will undergo upgrades to add new capabilities as time passes).

This is a classic example of the Russian mindset vs the American. We here in America DO NOT want the true capabilities of our aircraft known and well keep it secret for years. On the other hand Russia boasts and brags about the technological capabilities of their aircraft/missiles/avionics to try and boost foreign sales and intimidate their adversaries. I just think its funny how silly, ignorant people bite into it and anyone with an inkling of smarts who's looked at history and actually done their research would see that the Russian's don't make quality stuff, its about the quantity.
With that said I agree with most people on here, I find it very unlikely that the PAK-FA will come close to the Raptor...they don't even have a functioning, IOC AESA radar yet! (Something we've had for years) and their Active missiles are still not on par with our AMRAAM.
So final analysis...its a good read if you want to have a good laugh and thats about it...it's too bad the author can't use all his numerous degree's for something actually worth reading.
And that's one man's opinion.

delta-shred, don't take it personally, please.
What you wrote is not 100% correct. From history, T-34 (and in some aspects KV-1) was match and excel only in 1943, and is just an example.
Btw, this is not the place to discuss about T-34 ....
What it said about PAK-FA sound like propaganda, IMHO. You are correct, they want to boost ... sales and moral. And are premature on that, PAK-FA dosn't have the final engines, nor the radar ...

You're right DA, this is a perfect example. I'm old enough to remember the hype that surrounded this plane until Belenko 'gave' us one revealing that the supposed greatest, most capable aircraft, was junk. The hype from this plane had the U.S. scrambling. History is repeating itself. Fortunately, most people can see through the Propaganda/hype/bravado that comes with the T-50.

Well I wont go so far as to call the Foxbat(Firefox...
) junk. I have a lot of respect for my Russian counterparts. Those sorties over the Middle East where the IDF/AF took shots at Mig-25s and could not effectively engage them sure shook things up. Rather, the Mig-25 ended up a highly specialized aircraft VERY GOOD at it's limited roles of interception and recon. But ubber fighter it was not. And it achieved it's design goals in very Russian ways. Crude brute force and elegant Russian simplicity. I think PAK FA will turn out to be the same way of course in a more general purpose Mig-29/Su-27 way. Just my 0.02 cents.

A member of the Kennetcook Volunteer Fire Department, Martin Walsh, collapsed at the wheel of a fire truck while responding to a structure fire April 11th. His fellow firefighters worked feverishly for almost an hour to revive him, but he died at the scene. Walsh, who was 66, was a former chief of the department, and also a former chief of the old Beaver Bank Volunteer Fire Department. Above, members of our Union Pipes and Drums and of our Honour Guard lead a procession of more than 200 firefighters from around the Maritimes to the local high school for Walsh's funeral April 20th. Kennetcook is on Highway 236 in Central Nova Scotia. Look for more coverage on this event soon.
Each December 6th, our department participates in the annual service in memory of the victims of the Halifax Explosion which occurred on Dec. 6th, 1917, followed by our own memorial for firefighters who have given their lives over the years serving and protecting our community. The Halifax Explosion memorial is held at Fort Needham Park, and the Fallen Firefighters Memorial at nearby Station 4 on Lady Hammond Road an hour later. In the photo, Fire Chief Doug Trussler lays a wreath at the Halifax Explosion Memorial as Deputy Chief (Operational Support) Roy Hollett watches. To see more photos and information on these two important events, go here.
Our members made fast work of a working structure fire in a home on Sackville Drive in Middle Sackville in July. Members arrived to find heavy fire on the 2nd floor, but a fast interior attack quickly knocked down the bulk of the blaze. Quint 12 driver/operator Jamie O'Donnell checks the exterior of the home. He was involved in interior overhaul on the main floor. Read and see more of this fire here.
In honor of this occasion, Chief Chris Conrad of Station 20 in Lawrencetown created a cake to commemorate the bygone era of the yellow fire truck.

An old fire hydrant that helped protect a neighbourhood on Wyse Road in Dartmouth since 1895 has been restored and given a new home – at Fire Station 12 on Highfield Park Drive. Above, Quint 12 driver/engineer Sean O'Laughlin with the old hydrant before the restoration began. See and read more about this unique piece of fire service history here.
RAPIDLY SREADING FIRE - In this photo taken by a civilian, neighbours watch in horror as a raging house fire on Lindenwood Terrace in Dartmouth spreads to two more homes. In the centre, the deck gun of Engine 15 is used to hit flames in the home where the fire started. At left, Firefighter Derek McCarthy of Engine 15 (obscured by a tree) uses a 1 3/4 inch line to attack the fire that has spread to the house on the left. At right, unseen in the smoke, Firefighter Santiago Salgueiro is using another 1 3/4 line on the house on the right which is already heavily involved in fire. Engine 14, also unseen in the smoke, has just arrived and is setting up more lines. Multiple fire units were en route at this point. The fire occurred in July. See more information and pictures from this fire here....
Firefighter Tim Hatcher of Station 63 (Harrietsfield & Sambro) treads carefully as he washes down the remains of the men's bathroom at Crystal Crescent Beach. Multiple stations were initially paged for a reported structure fire which turned out to be a porta-potty. More on this fire here.
Members of both our Honour Guard and Union Club Pipes and Drums, as well as other members, joined firefighters from across Canada at the annual Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Ottawa. The event, held in September, saw Governor General David Johnston dedicate Canada's first national monument honouring firefighters who have died in the line of duty. Above, the monument includes a 15-foot bronze statue of a firefighter pointing to a Wall of Honour on which the names of fallen firefighters are inscribed. The wall is partially visible in the background beyond the crowd. See more photos and more information about your department's involvement in this important event by clicking here.

Group threatens legal action over conservative talk radio
MILWAUKEE - A group upset with conservative talk radio programs is threatening legal action against WTMJ radio.
The Media Action Center says conservative talk shows on WTMJ radio give too much time to Gov. Walker supporters and very little time to supporters of Democrat Tom Barrett.
The group's Andrew Rogers says the station is violating the Zapple Doctrine.
"We're expecting the station to comply (with the law)," Rogers said. "If they don't, we'll threaten legal action."
The group is also asking the Federal Communications Commission to intervene, Rogers said.
Journal Broadcast Group Executive V.P. Steve Wexler isn't concerned.
"All broadcasters are aware of the FCC rules," Wexler said. "We're quite confident our understanding (of the rules) and compliance with them are excellent."

The course of this race was brutal for my first marathon. However, I was banking on what the website told me about the aid stations in way of goods and the distance between each one. Their website says they will have gels at 2 aid stations which was not true, they were no where to be found. The water was luke warm along with the gatorade and the snacks were just not doing it for me the type of terrain and the beating the body is taking. Also the rules cleary state in BOLD letters that no headphones are authorized and a great number of people had them on. Rules are rules. If they put out in the race packets what will be at each aid station then that's what they should have, at least some. Luckily we were smart to bring our own water bottles because there is no way the aid stations were close enough to supply the body enough fluid for the duration and distance. Great course though and am happy I completed it but seriously, Scott the race director should have a better handle on it. Oh..one more thing, there was no water point at the pre race area to get water before leaving.
I did come in last with my time 6:34...however, since I do not consider myself a runner, this was HUGE. I am so happy to finish my first marathon...coming across the finish line hearing my incredible husband cheering me on was the BEST! I trained on some trails but mostly streets/bike paths so my time was slower than I thought. This course will keep your attention on the up & up or you will fall. I saw 8 other runners (3 of them were the 40 milers passing me (very sad) 'oh well'. If you are thinking about running this one watch your feet, have fun and trust me, if I can finish this, you can too! During this race, I thought of many people that have touched me and are very sick right now with Cancer and other diseases and all of them pulled me through this run...I just keep thinking, 'don't quit on them them, because if they could be running this right now they would.'
This was a nice early autumn trail run. You start on the road but other than some short biketrail segments and bridge crossings, the rest is trail. I would guess that the majority of the trail system is actually single track. You are mostly in the shade and you travel through marsh, pines, oaks and even a section with bamboo! The weather was nice this year, a slight chill at sunrise, an occasional breeze but probably not more than 70 degrees or so. I must admit though that of all my trail runs, this was not the most difficult technically, but it was certainly the most prolific in toe-stubbing roots that I've ever seen. There are some portions of the trail that were like running over bridge grating they were so dense. Minimalist trail shoes are probably not advised. There was at least one runner with a broken toe. Mine were pretty sore. The water/aid stations were well stocked and there was plenty of post race food/drink. The course (road and trail) are not closed and it was a little annoying later in the race bumping into mountain bikers. I think overall the course was well marked but there was some confusion on the distance markers. All race events shared the same finisher medal which was a little disappointing.
Pros: Nice course Good time of year Peaceful Good food and drinks at finish Awesome volunteers (I ran with a water bottle and was able to pop the top and have two volunteers fill my bottle up with Gatorade at the same time) Nice start and finish area (my wife and little boy hung out at the park while I ran) Cons: I had to leave before the awards ceremony Aid stations are really far apart Minimal spectators (understandable; where are they going to access the trail from?) Lots of roots (I fell three times, but I still liked the trail) Not very many runners (I was lucky to have another runner with me for the last half, but if it weren't for him, I would have been really lonely) I would like to run this race again. You just need to be aware that the aid stations are far apart and you won't hear very many cheers. Bring your own fluids and gel and have at it.
I enjoyed the race, but it seems like the half-marathon is treated like a second cousin. Why are there no mile markers for the half? We should know how far we are down the course as well just like the marathoners. I loved the blanket as well; they gave nice prizes, and the course is on lovely (if difficult) trails.
Get high! And I'm not just talking about elevation here, but about a real sense of accomplishment - even more so mentally than physically. Organizing such a race is impressive; thank you, Scott. Although, it's worth mentioning that we could always use more signage; I got lost the path three times. But who cares about the clock time here? I loved this race again this year, and will run it again!
My comments refer to the 40-mile race and not the marathon specifically. The trails were great - mostly rolling to flat with a couple of steeper ones thrown in. The ground was very rooty, but it only had a limited number of rocks so my feet appreciated that. The 3-star rating for organization was due to the aid stations later in the day. By mile 34 it was very hot out and there was nothing but hot drinks left. And at the finish area, all of the water coolers were empty and the bottled water and canned Cokes were sitting in bins of warm water. And all of the pans of food were left out and covered with thousands of bees. There weren't a lot of spectators, but the ones that showed up were awesome. And the volunteers were awesome as well. The shirt and blanket were really nice, so I won't knock the quarter-sized finisher's medal. I'd do this race again if they take in to account the slower runners that need food and drink also.
The trail is really nice - not too hilly - though the roots are definitely not to be taken lightly. Based on my experience, you should expect to add about 20% to your road marathon time. My only negative was the sufficient but minimal organization. We never received ANY emails at all from the organizers. My husband could have used a tad more signage to prevent him from accidentally running one mile down the 40-mile turn off. The food was fine, but nothing special. I guess the small races I've done where the food was homemade and we got to meet and talk with the race director have spoiled me a bit. Overall, a lot of fun on a great trail with a cool shirt, but not much in the way of personal touches.
This was my very first half-marathon. The trail was scenic, yet very challenging. I enjoyed the run and plan to train harder to run again in this race next year!
Entering this trail marathon, I looked at the map of the race course circling the lakes and thought that the scenery combined with a long run in the woods would make for a pleasant day. This was my 21st marathon and it was easily the toughest course I have ever run... and I have done other "mountain and trail" marathons. A good 75% of the trail is covered with large roots and rocks. Be advised that this is a tough track. I spent most of the race studying the ground immediately in front of me and choosing places for my footsteps. The lakes were right there, but I seldom saw them. I tripped and fell four times - all on the second half. No big elevation changes, but nearly constant turns, dips and climbs. I hope this doesn't sound like a list of complaints. At the end of the day, I felt a real sense of accomplishment and even placed first in my division. My point is that before you enter this event, make sure you are wearing a good pair of trail running shoes, have strong ankles, and are prepared to be as worn out mentally as you are physically. My sincere congratulations to the race organizers and to everyone who completed this race. It was an experience I won't soon forget.
