Introducing Ashley from River Forest. It's a good thing Ashley studied Nursing because guys probably hit the floor and knock themselves unconscious when they see her out looking as hot as she does. Half way through the week and we're two for two with stunners.
We need Smokes! Send over any and all girls you know to firstname.lastname@example.com All we need is a Facebook link and a name and we'll hit them up about being featured. I firmly believe we've had the hottest girls on the network by far since we launched in the summer. Let's keep this train rolling along through Fall.

Comments, questions and tips
I made this using a tin of tomatoes instead of passata and so added lemon, paprika and some chilli flakes to give a bit more depth. Next time I will cook this together for a little longer before adding the fish to really get the flavours out, as the tomato was a little too overpowering as it was. Also added a red pepper to boost the veg levels, used kale instead of cabbage, and butterbeans instead of cannellini but I don't think this will have been a groundbreaking difference.
Made this for me and the missus last night.
It was okay, when cooking the sauce seemed rather bland so ended up adding quite a few extra little bits and pieces (pepper, paprika, etc) to give it a bit more flavour. Also added a bit of rocket at the end (had it knocking around) and that went quite nicely too.
I'll probably use the basis of the recipe again but think there's a few additions and tweaks that I'll need to use to make it right for me.
**Edit** I made it again as had all the bits remaining and this time added some chilli flakes, paprika, pepper, lemon juice, extra chorizo and rocket. The extra kick it had as well as a bit more strength of flavour made it a much nicer dish.
Just cooked this, I doubled the amount of chorizo as suggested in other posts. I agree, it was quick but not my favourite fish recipe, I think if I cooked it again I would change the beans to Butter beans and as suggested by other posts, use something different to cabbage as it could have done with a little longer to cook, but didn't seem to 'go' with the dish anyway.
This was ok. I used two tins of chopped tomatoes instead of the passata, some chilli and reduced it at the end. There was a lot left over we finished it up afterwards. It was fantastic cold and without the fish. Completely different. Sounds strange, but I will make this again, without the fish and serve at room temperature.
I made this last night and we really enjoyed it. I used a bit more chorizo, didn't fancy cabbage with fish so used chard and a couple of chopped courgettes instead as we have a glu of both in the garden. I didn't have canellini beans either so used chick peas which were good. I'm trying to cut carbs so didn't have a side dish but OH had new potatoes. I would have it with brown rice another time. A good, tasty, healthy one-pot.

Call of Duty
Call of Duty Summary
Call of Duty Review
This is my first FPS review and all can say is what a "doosy"!! I have played a lot of the FPS titles throughout the years and I have to say that Call of Duty is quiet simply one of the best.
Latest news
Original Call of Duty "much more like Allied Assault," codenamed 'MOH killer'
Former Infinity Ward employees have spilled the redacted beans on the original Call of Duty's development back when the studio first formed. Medal of Honor was the first-person shooter King at the time.
Apparently Call of Duty was codenamed 'MOH killer', even though its initial design was similar to MOH: Allied Assault, which followed the "super-spy in WWII story" formula.
Gearbox Turned Down Offer to Develop Call of Duty Title
Randy Pitchford has revealed that Activision offered Gearbox the chance to develop a Call of Duty title, but the studio turned it down.

HCDA Presentation set for September 3rd, 2008!
Written by Administrator Wednesday, 13 August 2008 11:00
Hello all,
I'd like to say thank you to all of you that are continuing to support this effort. It's been awhile since we've had some fresh info for the site. I am posting this small update to let you know that we continue to work very, very hard on the task before us and that this project is very much alive. We had hoped to be on the August agenda for the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) but we needed a bit more time to do some very important run throughs and critiques as we wanted to make it the best it can possibly be.
In addition, the timing has to be right. We've worked long and hard on this, and we need to allow you, the supporter, sufficient time to know and prepare to join us when we make our presentation before the HCDA. I'm very happy to announce that day is set for September 3rd, 2008 at 9AM at the newly constructed Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL) Conference Room in Kapolei. Here's the full information:
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008
9:00AM to 2:00PM
Dept. of Hawaiian Home Lands
Conference Room
91-5420 Kapolei Parkway
Kapolei, Hawaii 96707
In addition, you can check the following HCDA website for the upcoming meeting agendas and past minutes: HCDA 2008 Agendas
We have worked diligently for the past few weeks polishing our presentation in anticipation for standing before the HCDA and getting this show on the road. I ask that if you are supportive of the construction of a new home for motorsports, then to please join us on this very important date. We're not asking for banners or sign waving, just a respectful display of support for this project. I cannot stress enough how important this first meeting is to the future of this effort. If you support building a racetrack, then please tell your friends, family, and co-workers about this date, and urge them to attend in support. There are people who are committed to preventing this project from moving forward, and you can fully expect them to be in attendance. We hope that if you support it, you will be there as well.
In regards to the planning and construction of this facility, I ask that all of you come here to get the facts first. Again, if you have questions, feel free to post them on our discussion forums where one of our team members, or the Developer, Mr. George Grace Jr., can answer you directly: KRP Forum
We're always willing to listen, and answer. Mahalo for your support, and thank you for still believing in a new home for our displaced motorsports community. We hope to see you there.

NASA's Paul Hill goes into more detail below about specific UFO flight characteristics and there's also a good section dealing with the subject taken from NICAP's 'UFO Evidence' report - the RAF Topcliffe incident is also posted but if anyone knows of any more case examples then please post away.
Peculiar behaviour such as falling leaf or pendulum motion during vertical descent has been independently reported many times by UFO witnesses in widely separated parts of the world..
Pendulum/Falling Leaf Motion
A curious, but fairly common, flight characteristic of UFOs is a pendulum-like motion (swaying back and forth) during hovering, slow climb, or descent. Witnesses frequently have compared this to the gyrations of a falling leaf.
Side-to-Side Oscillation
A very similar pendulum-like motion, occurring as a UFO travels in a horizontal plane (rather than ascending or descending) has been noticed occasionally. It consists of a side-to-side oscillation as the UFO proceeds in a constant direction.
Paul Richard Hill - NASA Aerodymanicist:
Maneuvers. Hovering at any altitude is common. UFOs hover close to the ground for long times instead of landing. The different maneuvers include:a. falling leaf or UFO-rock like a coin falling in water
b. silver-dollar wobble - like a coin with a slow spin on a flat surface. This maneuver is consistently observed at the end of a rapid descent as the UFO initiates hovering
c. acute-angle turn with rapid stop at the vertex
d. sudden reversal of direction
e. bank and turn - exactly like conventional aircraft
f. straight-away speed run either horizontal or vertical
g. tilt to maneuver "UFOs tilt to perform all maneuvers ... they sit level to hover, tilt forward to move forward, tilt backward to stop, bank to turn"

2013 Engadin Wind Best of 3 - Lake Silvaplana
The annual pilgrimage to defend the Engadin Best of 3 Challenge in Lake Silvaplana, 1800 meters high in the Swiss mountains. For the second year running, the kite team took the overall title following high scores in course race, speed and slalom. Competing against the best Swiss foiling moth sailors like Phillip Käsemann and windsurfers including Bjorn Dunkerbeck, Karin Jaggi, Patrik Diethelm and German Champion Sebastian Kördel - the battle was on to determine the best.
The kite team included North Kiteboarding riders Dirk Hanel, Olly & Steph Bridge and Swiss rider Dani Rey, who were all using NKB 2013 Race Ltd boards & NKB 2013 Dyno kites. The North team was joined by Simone Vannucci from Italy. The kite team dominated the course racing from start to finish while the slalom discipline was more suited to Bjorn Dunkerbeck who now has incredible 41 world titles.
The speed discipline was recorded with a speed gun from the judge tower & all athletes had an hour to set some records and get the legs burning. It was Dirk who was holding the fastest speed of over 62km/h (!) for almost one hour and then just in the final minute, Bjorn and Dani spotted a gust and went for final runs bringing their top speeds: Bjorn managed to get to 65,5 km/h , Dani finished with an excellent run over 64,8 km/h putting Dirk into third with 63,5 km/h.
However, although individual performances are important, the overall team is what counts, so for the 2nd year running, the 'Best of 3' trophy went to the kitesurf team & captain - Dirk Hanel.
The traditional Engadin marathon followed on Saturday and over 130 sailors, kiters and windsurfers registered for this spectacular race, which covers approximately 30 km, which is over 4 times the length of the lake.
For his 2nd year running, it was Olly Bridge from Great Britain who won the marathon with Simoni in 2nd and Philip Käsermann sailing his moth just 1 minute behind. Steph Bridge (NKB) won the woman's event while the younger freestyle members of team Bridge - PKRA Youth World Champion Tom & Vice Champion Guy Bridge put a spectacular freestyle show together and showed the crowds some old & new school style off the tower.
Another great event for the North Kiteboarding race team and kiteboarding in general at the 2013 Engadinwind in St. Moritz. See you next year!
Fastest waterman on the planet!!! Best of three Event in Lake Silvaplana
BEST of 3 - the battle of the fastest waterman on the planet went into a second edition this year! Team Kitesurf won with Kitesurfer Dirk Hanel winning the individual title.
The BEST of 3 Event was held for the second time at Lake Silvaplana last Sunday and Monday. Olympic Gold medalists, world champions and legends in different sports gathered to battle for the title of the fastest waterman in three different sports: Windsurfing, Kitesurfing and Sailing. The 3 disciplines in which the riders competed were speed, slalom and course race.
In the windsurfing team, the 41 world title holder Björn Dunkerbeck, Karin Jaggi 15 times PWA world champion and Windsurf speed world record holder together with Patrik Diethelm the fastest shaper in the Windsurf world were nominated as winners.
In the Kite team Steph Bridge, 4 time course race world champion, together with Dirk Hanel, course race production master class world champion and German outright speed record holder and former nautical mile world record holder won the race.
The Kite team adorned itself with Ueli Kestenholz snowboard world champion and X-games winner, who is a passionate kiter and full on crazy extreme sports man! Moreover young gun Olli Bridge, son of Steph Bridge was part of the kite team!
The sailing team included the strong Moth specialists Mathis Renker, 4 times Alinghi Swiss Tour Match Race winner and 7 time Swiss champion as well as Phillip Käsermann. Together with the two German champions in Moth sailing Markus Steeg and Nina Zühlke.
Furthermore, each team was joined by local Heros and Riders in the different sports categories. On Sunday, the 35th Wind Marathon ended with a sensation; for the first time the kitesurfers Dirk Hanel and Olli Bridge were faster than their windsurfing collegues.
By the time all sailors already had the 42 km marathon in the bones two slalom races where held. In the first race, the windsurfers Björn Dunkerbeck, Nicklolas Warenbourg and Patrik Diethelm where dominating. Due to a small incident on the starting line of the first slalom, Dirk Hanel was slowed down massively and could only catch up to position 4.
Whereas in the second slalom, after a clean start, Dirk was right in there on the same jibe mark with Björn and Nicklas. Then on mark three Dirk overtook the Windsurfers in the jibe, having the same or perhaps a bit faster downwind speed he held on to the victory in the second slalom. This final result was a great success for Dirk Hanel, being able to beat Björn who is leading the Slalom Tour of the PWA this year. Steph Bridge was also extremely happy to beat
Karin Jaggi in the direct comparison, who is currently leading the PWA tour in slalom.
In the afternoon a heavy rainstorm set in and with a good forecast for the second day the riders called it a day. Day two of the Best of 3 started out with 4 Course Races where again Olli Bridge and Dirk Hanel dominated the races taking all wins and three of the 2nd places in all races. The starts where always really exciting and sometimes close calls! Then the complete fleet was literally flying towards the other side of the lake. While the Moths had an incredible upwind angle the combination of angle and speed gave the advantage to the kiters. Consequently after 4 races Olli scored first and Dirk second followed by Mathias Renker in the Moth in 3rd place.
Last but not least, the races in the discipline speed were held. For this discipline the judging tower was equipped with a speed gun and communication display, so that all riders could see the maximum speed reached. The wind was getting a bit gusty which made it difficult for the athletes to line up for the start. Björn Dunkerbeck achieved the best speed result with 60,3 km/h followed by Patrik Diethelm, the fastest shaper in the world with 59,3 km/h. Kitesurfer Dirk Hanel, winner of the speed last year with 57 km/h. scored the third place, saying: "unfortunately the kites which performed so well in racing and also slalom where just not perfect for the speed due to an to flat profile".
Team Kitesurf took a great victory in the team category not least because of the great performance of Steph Bridge beating Karin Jaggi in each discipline and Kitersurfer Dirk Hanel taking the win in the Individual Ranking.
After the two days of racing, everybody seemed happy and athletes as well as organizers agreed that this event has to be repeated next year with some more refined rules, maybe also at other places and in different conditions, but for sure with the same fun and enthusiastic teams like this year!
Final Results:
Team BEST of 3
- Kitesurf Team
- Windsurf Team
- Sailing Team
Individual BEST of 3
- Dirk Hanel 8 points
- Patrik Diethelm 10 points
- Björn Dunkerbeck 11 points
- Olly Bridge 12 points
- Steph Bridge 26 points
11. Karin Jaggi 30 points

Samuel, a Hacker with a few Tricks
~~ Cytek HQ - Upper Floors ~~
Samuel had been cheerfully sitting in his chair, spinning it from time to time and tinkering with his own handgun. So far it could shoot a single stun round, and proceed to fire normal shots. He closed it up and nodded, grinning. That was good enough for now. He glanced up at the screen adn sighed. Nothing was happening out in the city, but maybe in the building? He glanced at the map of each floor, moving from his own spot down. Each floor gave more and more disappointment, until one of the bottom floors. There was something off about the screen. Part of it wasn't showing the slight variances that it should. He tapped a few keys, and frowned as he saw the source of the problem. Another hacker. He picked up his gun and placed it against his side, spinning his chair as he left the room. It was time to go and have a little fun with the intruders while his team was away. "Oh joy, I can test out the guns new features on someone! I do hope they're still alive with all the troops wandering around down there... Quiet a rowdy bunch..." He ran down the hall, moving towards the stairs and grinning happily.

2nd Prize
During the months of July to September, the Peruvian altiplano faces a abnormality meteorological condition that is known by low temperatures and hail in the shape of snow. This event known as cold wave, produced in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, exposed the Titicaca lake nearby zones to temperatures that flanked 26º C below zero. This phenomenon has an average extension of 8 days, period in which the inhabitants remain incomunicated, with uninhabitable dwellings and almost all their cattle dead. These animals are in risk of extinction.
The subsistence of these families comes from reed crop, aquatic plant that grows in great abundance at the edge of the lake, and with which they produce dwellings as well as kitchen utensils, feed their cattle and feed themselfs from the reed tubers. Also, they subsist of weavings made of wool extracted from their animals (vicunas, llamas and guanacos).
The emergency dwelling proposes as route of action the identifying of an area in greater risk, province of Puno, to offer a viable solution where the dwelling may be built with elements extracted from the same zone and not necessarily considered in the present construction systems, also preserving those arquitecture and culture Presenting a practical constructive system for the inhabitants and without the need of alien elements, take the maximum advantage of the resources obtained from their natural environment. And it also safeguards the life of inhabitants and animals of Puno.

Hall Monitor: The Final Tallies Are In
By Trevor Hayes
We've had a champion for several weeks now, but with last week's announcement of the final major BBWAA Awards, the 2010 season is complete. Now it's time to look back a little and then move on to 2011. During the next few weeks, we should see a flurry of free agent activity, starting with the Winter Meetings, which begin this weekend in Orlando.
Less can be more: Last week, Josh Hamilton handily won the AL MVP Award. Hobbled by broken ribs and playing in 133 games, he's only the second position player over the last 30 years to play in that few games (with the exception of strike-shortened seasons) and be named league MVP. In fact, he's only the fifth player to ever earn the Award after playing 133 or fewer during a full 162 game season. The others are the Giants' Barry Bonds in 2003, the Royals' George Brett in 1980, the Pirates' Willie Stargell in 1979 and the Yankees' Mickey Mantle in 1962. Like Hamilton, Brett and Mantle both suffered injuries that held them out for long periods of time, while Bonds and Stargell were slowed by age.
Twice as nice: With Awards Season coming to a close, the AL champion Rangers now boast the hardware to back-up the run to their first-ever World Series appearance. Josh Hamilton's MVP Award and Neftali Feliz's Rookie of the Year Award, make them the 13th pair of teammates to sweep both Awards in a year – not including 1975 and 2001 when Fred Lynn and Ichiro Suzuki won both Awards, respectively.
Of the 13 pairs, Hamilton and Feliz join eight others in reaching the World Series. The others were Jackie Robinson and Don Newcombe (1949 Dodgers), Yogi Berra and Gil McDougald (1951 Yankees), Roy Campanella and Jim Gilliam (1953 Dodgers), Mickey Mantle and Tony Kubek (1957 Yankees), Mantle and Tom Tresh (1962 Yankees), Joe Morgan and Pat Zachry (1975 Reds), Willie McGee and Vince Coleman (1985 Cardinals) and Jose Canseco and Walt Weiss (1988 A's).
It should also be noted that Lynn's 1975 Red Sox made the World Series and Suzuki's 2001 Mariners finished the regular season with the best record in baseball, but lost in the ALCS.
Joey joins Reds' best: Ten different Cincinnati Reds have been honored with the National League's MVP Award. Joey Votto became the 10th last week after he denied Albert Pujols his fourth Award, which would have put the Cardinal slugger into rarified air as only the second player to collect more than three MVPs.
Votto's honor links his name with Reds MVPs like Hall of Famers like Johnny Bench (1970, 1972), Joe Morgan (1975-76), Frank Robinson (1961) and Ernie Lombardi (1938).
Vlad and Texas heaping it on: It's not a major award, but some major names have been attached to it. This year's recipient of the Outstanding Designated Hitter Award, Vladimir Guerrero, gave the Rangers yet another piece of hardware last Wednesday to celebrate 2010.
Renamed after Edgar Martinez in 2004, the list of former winners extends beyond the longtime Mariners legend. Among the Hall of Famers to take home the honor are inaugural winner Orlando Cepeda (1973), Jim Rice (1977), Dave Winfield (1992) and Paul Molitor (1993, 1996).
150 Million Dollar Man: Troy Tulowitzki will be staying in Colorado for the next 10 years and that's just fine with the slugging shortstop. Not only did he sign a deal this week that will pay him an average of $15 million a year until 2020, but he's now got a shot to be like his idol, Hall of Famer and Oriole legend Cal Ripken Jr., and stay with one team for his entire career. Of the 292 Hall of Famers, 47 spent their entire playing career with one team. Aside from Ripken, the only other shortstops in that group were the White Sox's Luke Appling, the Cubs' Ernie Banks, the New York Giants' Travis Jackson, the Yankees' Phil Rizzuto, the Pirates' Honus Wagner and the Brewers' Robin Yount.
Hall of Famers around town: Bob Costas brings three more Hall of Fame names to his show tonight on MLB Network. Big Red Machine cogs Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Tony Perez, will be Studio 42 tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
In other Reds news, the team's annual winter celebration, Redsfest, will feature tributes to Sparky Anderson. More than 60 current and former Reds players will be on hand tonight and tomorrow at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati.
Tomorrow, Tigers legend Al Kaline will be at the Comerica Park Retail Shop. The Hall of Famer will be promoting and signing copies of his book "SIX: A Salute to Al Kaline."
And as the Winter Meetinsg convene this weekend, several Hall of Famers will be in Orlando to participate in the Expansion Era Committee's Hall of Fame Induction voting. The 16-person committee will vote on Sunday and includes Bench, Whitey Herzog, Eddie Murray, Jim Palmer, Perez, Frank Robinson, Ryne Sandberg and Ozzie Smith. Results will be announced on Monday at baseballhall.org.
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

moments in the mommyhood || leaping is good for the soul
Friday, February 8, 2013
a little bit of leaping is good for the soul. really. trust me...i've noticed lately that i seem to keep leaping and jumping in all of the recent pics my hubs or anyone takes of me. i think it's funny and also a sign of my personality. i don't enjoy being photographed so i think it is also my way of relaxing when i have to pose for a bit of time and am feeling uncomfortable. i feel a strong urge to just let loose and then wham! i'm leaping. it feels good though. i highly recommend you try it...haha. just throw a little leap in there next time you need to loosen up or have some fun.
my girlies are growing up so fast and have been keeping this momma more than busy and also challenged. my oldest is as strong as ever and tests me at every turn but we're surviving and will hopefully make it through this phase. if any of you have tips on dealing with a "strong willled child" i'd love to hear them. harper is just a doll. the kid can get away with anything i tell you. she just smiles at me a tad and i melt like butter on a hot pan. i'm going to pay for it later...lol. in the meantime i've just taken to well......leaping :) blows the stress right off....lmao.
so whatdoyasay? you want to leap with me? c'mon...i know you wanna....
wishing you all a leaping, jumping, frolicking, laughing and overall good time kinda weekend! what are your weekend plans? what did you make this week? any projects you want to share? come chat with me!

I am photo shy too but I ale myself get in front of the camera with my children. ( so when they look back they know they had a mom!)
My youngest (of five) is extremely strong- willed and I've had to re-write the manual, so to speak, on him. I found Dr. dobson's book, 'The Strong-Willed Child' to be helpfulThe best thing I have found to do when dealing with strong-willed children is to give them choices for everything. You want to nurture that strong-will and not crush it because the will go far in life with a "never say never" attitude. For my youngest I find that I spend an incredible amount of time explaining things, at the heart of a strong-willed child is a sense of curiosity and wanting to decide the path for them, they aren't satisfied with the status quo. The one thing you have to do as a parent is to make sure that when you're giving choices that both choices are okay with you. On non-negotiable things the choice is for them to do it without punishment or to do it after punishment. Sometimes my youngest chooses to be punished first and then does it simply because it was an option and he wanted to see if I would really discipline him first.
What helps me the most is accepting my child for his feisty nature and loving that he doesn't back down. It comforts me to know that he won't be easily swayed by peers and seeing the benefit in the future helps me to do what must be done to train him to make the right decisions the first time. Also the worst thing you can do is play the 'because I said so' card. They will simply dig their feet in even more. Consistent Positive Reinforcement is usually the only way to get them to consistently do what you want them to.
I wish you luck and much leaping :)^ that, choices. I say to Nicole a lot, "You have two choices, you can either this or that." One of those choices is something 'go to bed' or 'go to your room' ... and sometimes that is the choice that she makes! (she'd rather go to bed an hour or two early than try a new food, stubborn thing!)
Love your leaping! And my mind cannot cope with the fact that you're fairly literally across the map horizontally from me by a few hours flight, and there is green outside. Shannon, this is not fair. Not fair at all.The one of you and M leaping together - FANTASTIC! I'm not sure if my kids are strong willed or not, but the 2 year old definitely responds better to explanations of why things are happening rather than just surprising him with a sudden change. Seems to cut down on tantrums quite a bit. All 2 year olds are strong-willed though, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteI do love the leaping - the idea of it & the photo of it. :) Must try myself.
I have *3* strong willed children. girls. They have driven me to the brink with everyone needing to have *their* way all.the.time. I have ready so many books, attended parenting classes & even invited people into my home to help me figure out how to live with my children! The ideas above of giving choices & always having the choices being things you can live with is a good one. The place where I have found the most support & kind advise is here: www.handinhandparenting.org. They have a lot of free articles, a blog, & a discussion group. Then when you're ready to step it up a notch, you can download for a fee their booklets, or join (again for a fee) their online classes. I hope this helps & enjoy more leaping! :)

ORCA is now located in a state of the art facility on the Everett Waterfront at the Port of Everett's Waterfront Center (Check current Weather Conditions). With two generous grants from the National Science Foundation, ORCA was able to build an oceanographic research lab for students and a dedicated 34' research vessel. The lab is complete with a 120 gallon seawater aquarium, fume hood, and fully equipped student islands, the lab was designed for collaborative and independent research. The custom designed research vessel includes a bow door for equipment deployment and potential beach landings. The research vessel dedication is scheduled for Saturday, November 22 at 11a.m. Recent program expansion added new faculty and two new classrooms to accomodate more students. Contact Ardi to come visit us at 1205 Craftsman Way, Suite 203, Everett, WA 98201
The Ocean Research College Academy (ORCA) is an early college high school academy, one of the first in Washington State. ORCA is the only early college in the nation that uses the local marine environment as the unifying theme to integrate the core academic disciplines. Funded initially by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, ORCA seeks to provide opportunities for all students to engage in active inquiry and in-depth study in a supportive environment.
"I began ORCA seeking its smaller learning community environment and doing college work with other high school students who have similar interests and goals. I continued ORCA because of its amazing faculty, challenging coursework, preparation for my future, and the opportunity that it provides to maximize my ability to grow as a learner. I not only gained experience in science and writing to prepare me for medical school, but I also learned to appreciate the humanities which helped me grow as a conceptual thinker and person." Tajanna Stinn, ORCA graduate 2009
ORCA is a unique opportunity for high school students. By using the framework of the Running Start program and the resources of Everett Community College, there is no tuition for high school students. ORCA offers students a full-time college experience that satisfies all requirements for an Associate's degree and most requirements for a high school diploma.
Using an innovative, project-based approach in a small "learning community" environment, students enjoy the challenge of designing and implementing their own learning experiences under the guidance of talented college faculty. While marine science provides the focus for interdisciplinary projects, students receive a rich education in all of the core subjects, with outstanding faculty members working with the students for two years.
Adjoining the lab are now five instructional classrooms, a common room, lunchroom and faculty offices. The core vision of ORCA resonates in the new space. Students grow as active, responsible, inquisitive learners by collaborating with other students and faculty, conducting scientific research of their own design and applying critical thinking skills from all academic disciplines. The proximity to the water is ideal for students, enabling opportunities for daily monitoring and independent research projects. The facility complements the State of Possession Sound research at ORCA, facilitating student development of a sense of place and understanding of the complexities of the marine ecosystem.

OFF THE GULF COAST - Four people were in critical condition and two others were missing after a fire and explosion on a platform in the Gulf of Mexico south of Grand Isle Friday morning.
Coast Guard Incident Commander Ed Cubanski said that 26 people were aboard the platform Friday morning. Of those, 4 left the platform before the incident, 11 were medevaced out following the explosion for treatment, 2 were missing and 9 were safely evacuated without injury.
Cubanski said that despite earlier reports there are no confirmed deaths in the incident. He said an active search is ongoing for two crew members.
Four people were airlifted to West Jefferson Medical Center were said by a spokesperson Taslin Alfonso to be in critical condition with second and third-degree burns over a large portion of their bodies. Two of the victims were taken to the Baton Rouge General Hospital Burn Unit. The other two victims were slated to be shipped to the burn unit in a few hours.
Grand Isle officials said three others who were on the platform were being treated by EMS in Grand Isle and considered to be "walking wounded." They were taken to Our Lady Star of the Sea hospital. Their conditions were not known.
"It's a terrible day," said John Hoffman, the CEO of Black Elk Energy. "When something like this happens, it tears at everyone's heart."
Cubanski said the fire and explosion came as workers were using a torch to cut a pipe that contained a maximum of 75 gallons of oil. According to the Coast Guard the structure of platform is "intact with no structural damage. Reports said that a small oil sheen was in the water that indicated less than 10 gallons of product had gone into the water. Cubanski said the spill was limited to the oil in the section of damaged pipe.
Captain Peter Gautier of the Coast Guard said the platform, run by Black Elk Energy, was not producing oil and no enviromental threat is anticipated. A federal official says a team of environmental enforcement inspectors is flying to the scene.
David Smith, a spokesman for the Interior Department's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, said the team was dispatched from a Gulf Coast base by helicopter soon after the U.S. Coast Guard was notified of the emergency. Smith said the team would scan for any evidence of oil spilling and investigate the cause of the explosion.
The Coast Guard said that after the incident, rescues were conducted by the Guard and by Good Samaritans.
The platform belongs to Black Elk Energry out of Houston, Texas. It produces both oil and natural gas.

More evidence that cars are fast becoming computing devices on wheels and that vehicle occupants want the same kind of interactive experience inside the car that they have everywhere else.
This week Renesas announced a new family of automotive systems on chips (R-Car M1) that target navigation and multimedia applications in midrange, as opposed to luxury vehicles. Renesas noted that dashboard-mounted car navigation systems "must offer high-performance multimedia processing for video and audio, and an advanced HMI with realistic 3D graphics display, and improved user operability." Oh, and with minimal power consumption.
The same day NOR Flash developer Spansion extended its line of 65nm devices, noting that the new products offer 45% faster page mode read performance, among other benefits, an advantage of which is faster response in applications such as infotainment and navigation, because vehicle occupants don't want to have to wait all day for a system to start up. Spansion's new NOR devices maintain an industry-standard footprint but come in smaller die.
Earlier this month u-blox announced a new family of "ultra-miniature" GPS modules for telematics. "Our customers are demanding smaller footprints and lower power requirements for GPS positioning," says VP Herbert Blaser.
Smaller size, lower power, higher performance, but suppliers say they are up to the task. Renesas, for example, says it integrated circuitry for HD video decoding for a power saving of 92% compared with software decoding and a power supply IC consumes about 20% less power than its predecessor. On the performance front, a graphics core boosts 3D rendering performance for realistic GUIs and better user operability.
Taking operability a step further, NXP and Continental collaborated on a concept car they brought to Mobile World Congress to demo near field communication (NFC) technology for secure short range communication. "We will all use NFC in our cars in the next few years," insists NXP XVP Ruediger Stroh, as an increasing number of NFC-enabled handsets enter the market.

In spite of its recent existence, compared to other European cities, Stockholm is filled with cultural and historical traces that make it unforgettable. The islands that compose it and its living museums made of green spaces, confirm this idea of a city with a high quality of living and, of course, highly organized.
Sweden's capital is often compared to Venice because of being composed by small islands that are separated by canals. But in Stockholm one doesn't use the gondola to go from canal to canal. Green spaces, boats and luxury cars, palaces and castles make up the city's landscape, which is the country's capital since 1634 and was only founded around the 13th century. This means that it is of recent history, compared to other European cities, which you can tell, amongst other things, by its architecture. One shouldn't think, nevertheless, that this should dissuade you from a touristic visit. On the contrary, Stockholm has history, culture, quality of life and is well organized. The summer is the best season for a visit, since the winters are frozen (even the canals) and fill every corner of the city with snow. Besides that, for those not used to it, it can be confusing having days of only four hours of sun. From July on, everything changes. The sun sets after ten in the evening and the clarity makes it seem like the day never ends. It's the ideal season to take advantage of the green spaces and street cafés.

"Alps" is a film peculiar beyond all understanding, based on a premise that begs belief. It takes itself with agonizing seriousness, and although it has the form of a parable, I am at a loss to guess its meaning. Yet I was drawn hypnotically into the weirdness.
Imagine a small group of therapists who call themselves "The Alps." They have been named by their leader, who explains that the title has no meaning. They hire themselves to people who have just lost loved ones. They impersonate those dead people as a way of bringing comfort to the bereaved. They don't necessarily look like the dead ones or sound like them, but they stand in for them a few hours a week, performing memorized dialogue that has presumably been supplied by the survivors.
Preposterous, will you agree? And yet their clients hire them and go along with the therapy. Not a single person in the film points out the absurdity of its premise. We don't get to know the clients very well, but we watch the Alps members as they train in an empty gymnasium. In particular, we follow a gymnast (Ariane Labed) and her trainer (Johnny Vekris), as they work on a routine involving her dancing with a long ribbon fluttering at the end of a baton.
She does this (very well) to classical music, but when she asks to change to pop music, he tells her he will bash in her face if she questions his authority. We find it is no idle threat. This brutal relationship has no apparent connection with the grief therapy of the Alps, which otherwise consists largely of memorizing dialogue.
Early in the film, a young tennis player (Maria Kirozi) is gravely injured in a car crash, and we learn that the paramedic is a talent scout of sorts, seeking likely victims who might supply Alps customers. Team member Monte Rosa (Aggeliki Papoulia) calls dibs on the tennis player; later she deceives the other Alps by claiming the player has recovered, and then taking on the parents as private clients.
How she behaves in this role confirms what we may have suspected, that being an Alps member and doing the job requires a degree of mental imbalance and can lead to therapists spinning out of control because of the tension between who they are and the job they're required to do.
"Alps" is the new film by the Greek director Giorgos Lanthimos, whose "Dogtooth" shook up Cannes in 2009. That was the film where control-freak parents contain their children within a walled garden and further isolate them from the world by teaching them the incorrect words for things. A Lanthimos film is like a test tube for life, in which the activity depends on what specific ingredients have been introduced.
Although "Alps" is provocative and challenging, it is so completely self-contained that it has no particular emotional payoff. There is no greater world in which to evaluate its contents. When mourners are comforted by therapists who propose to represent the loved one, you'd think deep feelings would be stirred up. But "Alps" has the effect of a sterile exercise.

A haunting and thought-provoking allegory of man's destructive relationship with nature, THE HUNTER is a mark above your average lone-assassin thriller.
Nettheim's film, based on the novel by fellow Aussie, SLEEPING BEAUTY director Julia Leigh, follows Martin (Dafoe), a mercenary sent from Europe by a biotech corporation to track down a precious asset in the heart of the Tasmanian jungle. With nothing more than his wits, a hunting rifle and an assortment of animal traps, he sets out in search of the last Tasmanian Tiger, which has been listed as extinct since 1936. At first it looks as if his mission might turn into a wild goose chase, but fierce hostility from rival hunters in the region and numerous reported sightings of the creature only add to Martin's intrigue and determination.
THE HUNTER is a complex, moody and ultimately humbling film you will want to see again.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was diagnosed with Stage 1A fallopian tube cancer in July. The surgery was performed by a surgeon specializing in GYN Oncology. Why does your website say that the 5-year survival rate for Stage 1A is 51% (or thereabouts), whereas all other websites I've found quote 91% 5-year survival for Stage 1A fallopian tube cancer?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
The numbers we have posted are what most oncology textbooks quote, which are based on some older clinical studies. In these studies, fallopian tube cancer stage I patients did not receive any adjuvant therapy (meaning chemotherapy after surgery). Stage I tumors invade the mucosa, although they do not penetrate it. According to our experts, nowadays it is generally thought and recommended that stage I patients receive some adjuvant chemotherapy. With this additional therapy, properly-staged 1A patients could have 5-year survival in the 80-90% range. There are only about 300 total cases of fallopian tube cancer a year (this includes all stages). These small numbers have not allowed for many controlled studies to get accurate prognostic information from, so this 80-90% range is more based on expert opinion, not necessarily hard data.
Feb 26, 2014 - Among women with mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2, oophorectomy reduces the risk of developing ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer by 80 percent and reduces the risk of death by 77 percent, with greater BRCA1 benefit seen with earlier removal, according to a study published online Feb. 24 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

ERCP is short for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. It is a procedure that looks at the bile ducts. It is done through an endoscope.
An intravenous (IV) line is placed in your arm. You will lie on your stomach or on your left side for the test.
After the sedative takes effect, the endoscope is inserted through the mouth. It goes through the esophagus (food pipe) and stomach until it reaches the duodenum (the part of the small intestine that is closest to the stomach).
A thin tube (catheter) is passed through the endoscope and inserted into the tubes (ducts) that lead to the pancreas and gallbladder. A special dye is injected into these ducts, and x-rays are taken. This helps the doctor see stones, tumors, and any areas that have become narrowed.
Special instruments can be placed through the endoscope and into the ducts.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; Papillotomy; Endoscopic sphincterotomy; ERCP
The procedure is used mostly to treat problems of the pancreas or bile ducts that can cause abdominal pain (usually in the right upper or middle stomach area) and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice ).
ERCP may be used to:
Note: Imaging tests generally will be done to diagnose the cause of symptoms before an ERCP is done. These include ultrasound tests, CT scan, or MRI scan.
Risks from the procedure include:
You will need to not eat or drink for at least 4 hours before the test. You will sign a consent form.
Remove all jewelry so that it will not interfere with the x-ray .
Tell your doctor if you have allergies to iodine or you have had reactions to other dyes used to take x-rays.
You will need to arrange a ride home for after the procedure.
Someone will need to drive you home from the hospital.
The air that is used to inflate the stomach and bowel during an ERCP can cause some bloating or gas for about 24 hours. After the procedure, you may have a sore throat for the first day. Soreness may last for up to 3 to 4 days.
Do only light activity on the first day after the procedure. Avoid heavy lifting for the first 48 hours.
You can treat pain with acetaminophen (Tylenol). Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. Putting a heating pad on your belly may relieve pain and bloating.
The doctor or nurse will tell you what to eat. Most often, you will want to drink fluids and eat only a light meal on the day after the procedure.

Breakfast Topic: What memorial would you leave behind in WoW?
"What, like an item?"
"Maybe, but not necessarily." I cursed under my breath as Halazzi dropped another lightning totem. "Like the Jar of Ashes. Just some cool thing in the world that would let people who played the game after you know you were there."
"I've always wanted them to put in a hair shirt for me."
"Funny." She made a face at me and I went back to tanking. But now that I've had time to think about it, it's a fair question. I've always loved the crypt in the Badlands -- probably due to my being a huge Robert E. Howard fan, but still, having a set of tier 2 armor on a stand in there with my character's name on it would be pretty much the best thing I could imagine. Failing that, stick my name on a revamped Drake Talon Cleaver.
So how about you? What would you do if you could ask the devs to immortalize you in game?

Kyphoplasty is used to treat painful compression fractures in the spine. In a compression fracture, all or part of a spine bone collapses.
The procedure is also called balloon kyphoplasty.
Kyphoplasty is done in a hospital or outpatient clinic.
You lie face down on a table. The health care provider cleans the area of your back and applies medicine to numb the area.
The doctor places a needle through the skin and into the spine bone. Real-time x-ray images are used to guide the doctor to the correct area in your lower back.
A balloon is placed through the needle, into the bone, and then inflated. This restores the height of the vertebrae. Cement is then injected into the space to make sure it does not collapse again.
Balloon kyphoplasty
A common cause of compression fractures of the spine is thinning of your bones, or osteoporosis. Your doctor may recommend this procedure if you have severe and disabling pain for 2 months or more that does not get better with bed rest, pain medicines, and physical therapy.
Your doctor may also recommend this procedure if you have a painful compression fractures of the spine due to
Kyphoplasty is generally safe. Complications may include:
Before surgery, always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
You will probably go home on the same day of surgery. You should not drive, unless your doctor says it is OK.
After the procedure:
People who have kyphoplasty often have less pain and a better quality of life after the surgery. They often need fewer pain medicines, and can move better than before.
