| |
Out-of-state student | $19,931 |
Out-of-state student with WUE | $11,334 |
WUE Savings | $8,597 |
Am I eligible for WUE?
There are really only a few requirements.
- Did you submit your admissions application to EWU?
- Are you a resident of a WUE state?
- Are you seeking your first bachelor's degree?
If you can answer "yes" to these questions, you're eligible.
What are the WUE states and territories?
Alaska | Nevada |
Arizona | New Mexico |
California | North Dakota |
Colorado | Oregon |
Hawaii | South Dakota |
Idaho | Utah |
Montana | Wyoming |
How do I apply?
The good news: there is no separate WUE application. All you have to do is submit a completed EWU application for admission. Apply early!
Visit ewu.edu/apply to complete your application for admission today.
When will I receive my WUE award?
Only admitted students receive WUE award letters, which means your application must be complete before we can send you a letter.
WUE award letters to admitted students will be sent in early to mid February.
What happens after I receive a WUE award?
First, you'll receive notice that you are being offered a WUE award to study at EWU.
This isn't junk mail! It's critical that you sign and return an agreement stating you accept the WUE award and agree to follow its conditions, one of which is a commitment to live on campus your first year at EWU if you're a freshman. Be sure to contact us with your questions about campus living and WUE requirements.
How long does WUE last?
When you receive WUE at Eastern, it lasts until you graduate. Just make sure you're in good academic standing (a.k.a. getting good grades) and making satisfactory progress toward your degree (a.k.a. taking the classes you need in order to graduate).
Who should I contact with questions?
Tim Churchill
Admissions Advisor/WUE Coordinator
EWU Admissions
304 Sutton Hall, Cheney, WA
Is there small print?
Yep, and here it is.
Freshmen who receive WUE must live on campus their first year. WUE awards for the 2012-2013 academic year have already been awarded, and no new awards are available for winter and spring 2013. WUE award recipients must maintain legal residence in a WUE state other than Washington. WUE recipients cannot use the time of their enrollment toward fulfilling Washington in-state residency requirements for tuition purposes. All Eastern academic programs are open to WUE students on a space-available basis. Note: Eastern's WUE award does not apply to students admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at the Intercollegiate Nursing Alliance. All BSN students must apply for and receive aid through Washington State University. Requirements for the WUE program are subject to change without notice.

The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Національна академія наук України, Natsional'na akademiya nauk Ukrayiny, abbr: NAN Ukraine) is the highest research body in Ukraine, as a self-governing state-funded organization. It is the main research institution along with the five other academies specialized in various scientific disciplines. NAS Ukraine consists of numerous departments, sections, research institutes, scientific centers and various other supporting scientific organizations. The Academy reports on the annual basis to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
The presidium of the academy is located at the following address vulytsia Volodymyrska, 57, across the street from the Building of Pedagogical Museum where used to preside the Central Council during the independence period of 1917-18.
Names for the Academy | |
Ukrainian Academy of Sciences | 1918—1921 |
All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences | 1921—1936 |
Academy of Sciences of the UkrSSR | 1936—1991 |
Academy of Sciences of Ukraine | 1991—1993 |
National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine | since 1994 |
Over the course of its history, the NAS Ukraine has had 5 different names. From 1918 to 1921, it was known as the Ukrainian Academy of Science (UAS). From 1921 until 1936, it was known as the All-Ukrainian Academy of Science. From 1936 to 1991, it was known as the Academy of Science of the Ukrainian SSR. From 1991 to 1993, it was known as the Academy of Science of Ukraine. Since 1994, it has been known by its current name, National Academy of Science of Ukraine.
Establishment of the Academy[edit]
The initiative to create such an institution came from the Ukrainian Science Society in April of 1917 soon after the February Revolution. However it was finally materialized during the time of the Ukrainian State, when on the proposal of the Minister of Education and Arts Mykola Vasylenko a special commission was formed, which from July 9 - September 17, 1918 composed a legal document for the creation of the Academy. That document was approved by the Council of Ministers and signed by the Hetman of Ukraine Pavlo Skoropadsky on November 14, 1918.[1] At this point it was called the Ukrainian Academy of Science (UAS).
According to its original statute, the Academy consisted of three research departments in history and philology, physics and mathematics, as well as social studies. All publishing of academy was to be printed in the Ukrainian language. Its statute emphasized the all-Ukrainian nature: the members could be not only citizens of the Ukrainian State, but also the Ukrainian scientists of the West Ukraine (at that time citizens of Austria-Hungary). Foreigners could become academicians as well, but on the resolution of the 2/3 of the active members' composition.
The presidium and its first academicians (three to each department) appointed the government, while the future members were elected by those academicians (active members). The first academicians were appointed historians academician Dmytro Bahaliy and Orest Levytsky, economists Mykhailo Tuhan-Baranovsky and V.Kosynsky, eastern studies Ahathanhel Krymsky and Mykola Petrov, linguist Stepan Smal-Stotsky, goelogists academician Volodymyr Vernadsky and Pavlo Tutkovsky, biologist Mykola Kashchenko, mechanic Stepan Tymoshenko, law studies Fedir Taranovsky. For the President of the Academy, the Hetman of Ukraine invited Mykhailo Hrushevsky, but he declined. The Constituent Assembly that took place on November 27, 1918 elected the President academician Volodymyr Vernadsky, while the permanent secretary became Ahathanhel Krymsky.
The government of Ukraine provided funding to create research departments, institutes, and others. In its first year the Academy consisted of three departments within three institutes, 15 commissions, and the National Library.
Establishment of the Soviet Ukraine[edit]
After overtaking Kiev on February 11, 1919, Bolsheviks issued a decree about structure and financing of the Academy. In the Soviet times that date was considered the establishment of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. After several change of powers and withdrawal of the Denikin's forces in December of 1919 the Bolsheviks permanently established themselves in Kiev. With the second arrival of Bolsheviks Vernadsky resigned. For the next couple of years the President of the Academy was elected Orest Levytsky. In 1921 Levytsky was replaced by a newly elected Mykola Vasylenko, however he was not approved by the authorities and soon was replaced with Levytsky. Vasylenko after that was arrested in 1923 and convicted (later released on amnesty). During that time the Academy moved to the boarding house of the countess Levashova.
On June 14, 1921, the Council of People's Commissars of Ukrainian SSR adopted a decree "Resolution on the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences", according to which the Academy was recognized as the highest scientific state institution and subordinated to the Narkom of Education. The Academy was renamed from UAS to VUAN (Ukrainian: ВУАН) as the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences underlining its meaning for the Ukrainian territories under Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia and declaring its intentions to unite within one organization the scientific intelligentsiya of all Ukrainian lands. The relationship between the members of VUAN and the Soviet authorities soured, while the relationships with the Ukrainian scientists abroad had completely diminished. After the historian Orest Levytsky the President of the Academy became the botanist Volodymyr Ipolytyovych Lypsky. Between 1919-1930 to the Academy were elected 103 academicians. In 1924-5, the Academy held its first election for foreign members. However, none of the candidates were approved by the Narkom of Education.
In 1929, two of its members (Serhiy Yefremov and Mykhailo Slabchenko) and 24 corresponding agents (such as Osip Hermaize, Hryhoriy Holoskevych, Andriy Nikovsky, and others) were arrested in accusation to belonging to the non-existing (as later it was established) Union for the Freedom of Ukraine. None of the arrested have ever been released.
Like many other academies, it has a two-tier membership: academicians, and corresponding members. There is also an additional membership category for foreign members. It operates many research institutions, primarily in the fundamental sciences but also in the humanities. The Academy has "state-agency" status, but is self-governing in decisions relating to its own activities. The NASU is responsible for over 90% of all discoveries made in Ukraine, including the transmutation of lithium into helium, the production of heavy water, and the development of a 3-D radar that operates in the decimeter range.
Notable members[edit]
Through its history, various new departments have been founded by prominent scientists. The following list gives some of the scientist who founded new departments.
- Mathematics
- Mechanics
- O. M. Dynnik and M. O. Lavrentiev
- Physics
- Geology
- Chemistry
- Biology and Medicine
The NASU has had only eight (8) different presidents:

Fish Boils
A fiery, flavourful favorite
A Fiery, Flavorful Favorite! It all starts with a blazing bonfire under a kettle of salted water. People circle around to warm themselves and take in the crisp smell. When the temperature is just right and the crackle of the fire is just loud enough, the boil master adds a basket of potatoes and onions to the kettle. A few crackles later, the mild whitefish steaks, fresh from Lake Michigan, are delicately lowered in. At just the right moment, kerosene is tossed into the fire, exciting the blaze and causing the water to boil over, dramatically carrying off the fish oil that has collected on top. The fish are pulled out and greeted with a generous drizzling of butter. Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.
What began as an economical way to feed large, hungry hoards of lumberjacks and fishermen has become an integral part of the Door County experience. Even people who don't like fish, have been known to like this fish. That's why a fish boil is a must-do experience when you visit here. However, you must remember one thing: leave room for the Door County Cherry Pie.

Zoya Nail Polish in Richelle
Zoya Nail Polish in Richelle can be best described as: A golden bronze shimmer with a bold metallic finish. With the appearance of molten metal, this shade screams luxury.
Family - GoldFinish - Metallic
Intensity - 5 ( 1 = Sheer - 5 = Opaque )
Tone - Warm
For Best Results
Step 1
Clean the nail plate with Remove Plus ( Remove+) nail polish remover and nail plate cleaner
Step 2
Choose and apply the right base coat:
Zoya Anchor for regular healthy nails or
Zoya GetEven for nails with ridges
Step 3
Apply 2 coats of your favorite Zoya Nail Polish Color
Step 4
Apply a coat of Zoya Armor Top Coat
Step 5
Drop one drop of Zoya Fast Drops to the base of your nail bed
Following these 5 steps guarantees up to 14 days of wear on natural nails.
This is a gold microshimmer color that looks great on darker skin tones. Great Formula and perfect balance of color and glitter!
Richelle is a beautiful gold polish with a foil finish (something I wish Zoya would do more of). It's yellow-brown-gold, so I think it works well on a lot of skin tones (mostly warm to neutral). Great polish!

One of the most successful alpine skiers in American history, New Hampshire's Bode Miller has captured the attention of the world with his incredible athletic balance and ability to produce jaw-dropping performances on skis. Raised in an electricity free home, the two-time World Cup overall champion, four-time World Champion and five-time Olympic medalist has risen to become one of the most prolific international athletes. Miller opted to sit out the 2013 Audi FIS Alpine World Cup season, including the World Ski Championships, a strategic decision to ensure a healthy run for an historic fifth Olympic Winter Games. After successful surgery last spring for a microfracture in his left knee, which he originally injured in 2001, Miller expects his knee to be stronger than it has been in the last 10 years when he returns to competition. Not one to sit idle, Miller stayed active cross training, much of the time with his wife, professional beach volleyball player Morgan Miller, who he married in October 2012. BODE SAYS I have said many times that motivation is a key trait for me when it comes to my racing – I am super motivated to do great things next year and I know 2014 will be my last Olympics. I have a chance to finish my competitive career on a really high note and I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen. FIRST TRACKS OFF THE SNOW |

Product Description
Drop 3-Pound Hand-Drilling Hammer on Hardened Nails, Brick Chisels and More
The Craftsman 3-pound hand-drilling hammer is a useful hand tool to add to your collection in the shop or the home garage. A 3-pound steel forged head works well for striking items such as hardened nails, nail pullers, cold chisels and brick chisels. Made by the trusted brand Craftsman, the tool is high quality and durable.
A hickory handle on the Craftsman 3-pound hand-drilling hammer gives the tool a rugged look and is sturdy from job to job. The handle is 10 1/4 inches long, which is a comfortable length for your hand as you grip it. Having a smaller handle makes it easy to store the tool as it does not require a lot of space. The face itself is large so you can tackle large nails or other objects efficiently. Avoid chipping with the crowned face, for the clean strikes that you desire for your projects. The tool weighs 3.5 pounds, so it is comfortable to work with.

Bought this as a gift for my brother needed a small sledge for work. After picking up off the shelf, I now want one. Beautiful hickory handle and a price that doesn't scream truck brands!

For us in the female family who need the extra heft a sledge hammer offers this is just the thing. The handle is just long enough to get any job done and the weight is perfect for us who are not able to man handle those jobs. I love it and use it often

I still like using wooden handles compared to metal handles. This hammer feels great. I don't spend a lot of time searching through hammers when I am in need, but you really won't go wrong with this hammer. Still made in USA which is good for me.

Not much to say its really just a hammer but its a good quality at a reasonable price. And made in the usa which i like how its made in the usa and not over priced. its a wood handle so the real worry is in a few years where the wood ataches it will dry out and the head will come off but its craftsman and if that does happen im sure they'll fix it or replace it.

This hammer works great, it is very helpful for those jobs where you need the BFH. I like that they have an ergonomic handle and a durable head.
Tuscumbia, AL
via sears.com
This hammer is a great deal for what it is. Everybody needs a 3lb sledge if you do any type of mechanic work. Craftsman full warranty on a hammer is amazing! Of course you can get better handle hammers but you have to pay for it. Its just hard to beat a Craftsman tool that is still made in the USA. That's the only problem I'm starting to have about craftsman tools is they are going to these Chinese made cheap designed tools. I don't mind owning a Chinese made tool but then again if I wanted a Chinese tool I would go to Harbor or some other store. Get one of these hammers you won't be disappointed .

When a regular sized sledge hammer is out of the question, this little guy gets the job done. Heavy duty. Almost too heavy to hold, feels a bit awkward if you are used to a regular hammer in your hand. Recently took down part of a block wall and this was one of the tools I used.

Three down, three to go. Three of the major airlines have re-upped their commitment to fly in and out of Rochester, while officials say three more are soon to follow.
When people need to get to where they're going, or even if they're coming back home, the numbers add up.
Nearly two and a half million people travel in and out of Rochester's airport each year. A new deal should bring more stability to the operation.
Monroe County and airport officials inked deals Wednesday with three of the six major airlines that fly in and out of Rochester; three-year deals with United, Southwest and Delta Airlines.
"Well, the significance of the agreement is stability for the airport. The airport is paid for. Operations are paid for at the airport," said Michael Giardino, Director of Aviation.
The deal is important because it helps the airport cover operating costs, which total about $34 million a year, but it's more than that.
"We have to realize that people have a choice when they travel."
Officials say stability keeps Rochester-based flights more competitive.
"If you go back a decade, a lot more people were going to Buffalo or Syracuse to fly to different destinations. We see less of that now," said Maggie Brooks, (R), County Executive.
The deals signed Wednesday are the result of nine months of negotiations. The three other major airlines that have yet to sign – JetBlue, U.S. Airways, and American Eagle are expected do so in the coming days.
"That means stability. That means we have committed air service from six major airlines at the very least. Of course, we're open for more," Giardino said.
The more flights, the better it is for businesses, interested in relocating. Brooks says that was evident after Southwest Airlines brought service to Rochester.
And overall travel is up two percent this year; another positive sign.
"We're more competitive than we were in the past, and it shows in our numbers," said Brooks.

Good vid but 4:29 the guy is talking about sliding forward but noticed the squatter's knees went past his toes?
I can't train that way especially having a history with my left knee prone to dislocation. Also I wouldn't chance that with a full load on the bar.
Wouldn't some if not most of the weight transfer to your knees if you tilt forward?

TEAMS: San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars
Another disappointing season in Jacksonville finally cost Jack Del Rio his job as Jaguars coach.
With San Diego mired in its longest skid in a decade, coach Norv Turner's time with the Chargers also might be running out.
In their first game since firing Del Rio, the Jaguars look to hand the visiting Chargers a seventh consecutive loss Monday night.
On the hot seat after three seasons without a winning record, Del Rio had no room for error in 2011. So with Jacksonville sitting at 3-8 and averaging an NFL-low 12.5 points, Del Rio was fired Tuesday and replaced by defensive coordinator Mel Tucker on an interim basis.
In addition to firing Del Rio, who went 69-73 with the Jaguars since 2003, owner Wayne Weaver agreed to sell the team to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan and gave general manager Gene Smith a three-year extension. Forbes reported the sale to be worth $760 million.
"It's the right thing at the right time and for the right reasons," said the 77-year-old Weaver, who had been looking to sell the team for years but only if it remained in Jacksonville.
"We deserve better; the community deserves better. We've been very average over the last few years. I take responsibility for a lot of that, making mistakes in some personnel things, but look positive ahead that this team is not far away from being a very competitive football team."
The changes are the most significant in the history of a franchise that has reached the playoffs six times since entering the league in 1995.
"It's the nature of the beast," tight end Marcedes Lewis said. "Change is good sometimes. Obviously, it's an unfortunate situation. ... This is the NFL and unfortunate things happen sometimes."
While the Jaguars hope to prosper in the future, the present appears stagnant.
They will try to avoid a third consecutive defeat after falling 20-13 to Houston last Sunday. It was the sixth straight game Jacksonville has been held to fewer than 20 points.
The Jaguars continue to live through the growing pains of rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who has thrown two touchdowns over the last five games.
Only Maurice Jones-Drew has been a bright spot, rushing for 1,040 yards to top the 1,000-yard mark for a third consecutive season. His 3,755 rushing yards since the beginning of the 2009 season are the second-most in the NFL.
Jones-Drew, who ran for 99 yards on 18 carries versus Houston, has rushed 24 times for just 64 yards and a touchdown in two games against the Chargers. He was held to 31 on 12 carries in a 38-13 loss at San Diego in 2010.
Philip Rivers passed for 344 yards with three touchdowns in that contest, but he's thrown 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions during the Chargers' six-game losing streak.
Rivers' 6-yard TD pass to Antonio Gates gave San Diego (4-7) a 10-0 second-quarter lead over Denver last Sunday, but the Chargers managed only a Nick Novak field goal the rest of the way and fell 16-13 in overtime at home to continue their worst skid since dropping nine straight in 2001.
San Diego has lost five times by seven or fewer points, the most by any AFC team.
"It's just snowballed out of control," said Rivers, who threw for 309 yards and two interceptions in a 24-17 loss in the Chargers' last visit to Jacksonville in 2007.
San Diego's slide only continues to put the heat on Turner. Under contract through 2013, Turner led the Chargers to the playoffs in his first three seasons before they missed out with a 9-7 record in 2010.
Turner, though, is trying not worry about his future.
"I'm not oblivious to any of that, but it's not something that's going to be an issue for me and I'm not going to talk a lot about it over the next five weeks," Turner said. "I've been doing this a long time and I do know how to go about preparing for a game. We've gotten our guys prepared and that's going to be our goal to keep getting them prepared."
On a positive note, second-year back Ryan Mathews ran for a career-high 137 yards on 22 carries against the Broncos.
Fellow running back Mike Tolbert gained 82 yards and scored twice on 16 rushes against the Jaguars in 2010.
The Chargers and Jaguars have split their previous four meetings with the home team winning each time.

After almost four years, Travis Burris must now begin serving two years of probation and 45 days behind bars.
This comes after the state court of criminal appeals upheld his 2005 sexual battery conviction following a trial.
Burris had appealed the jury's verdict claiming there was not sufficient evidence to support he had committed the crime for his own gratification.
However, the presiding judge, Joseph M. Tipton held a different view.
A LaFollette man has learned crime isn't all fun and games.
Last week, Andrew Charles Chapman, 18, 126 Tyson Lane, was arrested on aggravated burglary, theft over $500 and vandalism.
The charges stem from a home invasion that occurred earlier the same day he was arrested, according to LaFollette Police Officer Dennis Chadwell's report.
The rumors were swirling last week. But like most rumors, the one involving Mayor William Baird's veto of the commission's $300,000 donation to the House of Hope was fueled by a few facts mixed with a whole lot of speculation.
In his absence last week the mayor's office fielded a barrage of calls concerning the status of the resolution passed last month to help fund a new location for Community Health of East Tennessee's (CHET) domestic violence center.
After being caught allegedly breaking into the home of a woman he transported to the hospital, a former ambulance service employee made more trouble for himself allegedly covering his tracks.
On March 1 LaFollette Police Officer Josh Vann was called to the Campbell County EMS to investigate a burglary. Witnesses informed Vann that former employee Garrett G. Ramsey, 40, of 411 Eagle Bluff Road, had "unlawfully entered the business."
Georgea Green runs a tight ship.
To outsiders she is often labeled as the tough teacher with high expectations. And while both of these descriptions are accurate there is a little more to the story than meets the eye.
With more than 30 years of teaching experience under her belt, Green has learned that keeping her standards high is one of the most effective ways to encourage her students to rise to their potential.
When members of the commission's education committee met last week the sole agenda item was discussion of the Jellico Elementary School lighting project. But conversation quickly turned concern about the travel habits of school system personnel.
The Board of Education had previously voted to upgrade Jellico Elementary's lighting using capital outlay dollars. The initial cost of the project was approximately $65,000. However, the number of fixtures needing replacement was miscalculated.
When the project was rebid the new price was $106,696.
After a veto by County Mayor William Baird in late 2008, talks about a proposed justice center were silenced.
That is until Monday when the jail committee resurrected the notion of expanding the current jail facility.
Plagued with fires and other structural problems the kitchen and laundry facility, located in what is known as the "old jail," has long been discussed as a liability rather than asset for the county.
A trip to court on similar charges meant more trouble for a LaFollette woman this week.
Last Tuesday in general sessions court Sandra K. Wilson, 43, of 184 Sandy Hill Road, was arrested by LaFollette Police officers on an outstanding warrant stemming from a February incident.
On Feb. 9 Det. Lt. Monty Miller and Officer Pam Jarrett investigated criminal activity that occurred at LaFollette Utilities.
A play paying homage to Campbell County's famous son Howard "Louie Bluie" Armstrong will be performed at the LaFollette Middle School auditorium tomorrow night at 7 p.m.
Completed just last year, it is a musical work paying respect to Armstrong and his place in American String Band history. The play will be performed by The Carpet Bag Theatre ensemble based out of Knoxville.
At Monday night's mayor and aldermen meeting board members discussed various aspects of town business both big and small.
The topics ranged from cutting hay, to listening to a presentation on the prevention of child abuse, to donating funding to the Louie Bluie Festival.
The council began by voting to once again allow Jerry Foust to cut hay at the industrial park.
"He cut it last year and it saves our guys from having to do it," said Mayor Bobby Stooksbury.

Prophecy, Ecstasy, and Dreams in Early Christian History
Laura Salah Nasrallah
In the ancient Mediterranean world, prophecies, ecstasies, and dreams were considered important ways in which the divine communicated with humans. This course explores the history of early Christian debates over prophecy and ecstasy and places them within the broader context of Greek, Jewish, and Roman religions. We shall read various philosophical, theological, novelistic, and political texts from roughly the first century BCE-fourth century CE, as well as a dream manual. The course will address questions of how these debates over prophecy and ecstasy connect with issues of power, gender, and religious identity. Note: Course has additional hour to be arranged.

Our cabin was ready at 1.30 and we had our cases by 3 so unpacked and were ready to enjoy sail away. We checked out our table in the dining room and were pleased that our request for a window table had been met. We shared with 2 other couples and had great service every night - thanks Denster and Iputu. The food was just as good as ever, plenty of choice and always hot - second helpings or 2 different starters or desserts was no problem. We didn't use any of the speciality restaurants as we had sch good food and service in the Macbeth dining room on 2nd seating.
This was our first cruise as Diamond members and the diamond lounge is a huge benefit. We enjoyed complimentary pre dinner drinks every night (shouldn't have bought a wine package!) Met some great people which added to the enjoyment.
Weather was a bit mixed with wind, fog, sun and a little rain. Corsica was our favourite port, very pretty and a lovely beach less than 10 minutes from the dock so even got a swim in the sea. We only did 3 excursions, full day in Rome, half day in Pisa including river trip, and Rock tour in Gibraltar. All were well organised, but I wish people wouldn't join tours that they have no interest in. on Pisa trip we had trouble listening to the guide on the coach as others were chatting and laughing. They had no interest in anything except the shopping stop.
We enjoyed all but one of the shows in the theatre - the girl violinist/vocalist was dreadful but we especially liked the MacDonald Brothers, Adrian Walsh and the Rat Pack.Again slightly spoiled by people who were not interested in anything except drinking and chatting at the bar. The theatre should not have bar service while the show is on to allow people to watch. It is only 45 minutes and there are plenty of other bars if people can't go that long without a drink.
The ice shows have to be seen to be believed, the speed they get on the ice in a small area is amazing,absolutely brilliant. I had 2 sessions on the ice when it was open to all and really enjoyed struggling round!!
The 2 weeks went all too fast and we are already looking at where to go next. Independence is still our favourite ship and apart from the little niggles mentioned here it was a wonderful holiday. I think some reviewers must have mistaken which ship they were on as we had brilliant service and smiling staff wherever we went.

The Great PCI Security Debate of 2010: Transcribed
For those who prefer to read as well as listen, here's a partial transcript of the PCI security debate that appeared on CSO Senior Editor Bill Brenner's Security Insights podcast and Martin McKeay's Network Security podcast.
By Bill Brenner , Senior Editor
January 20, 2010 — CSO —
Network Security Podcast host Martin McKeay and I recently teamed up for a two-part debate on the pros and cons of the PCI Data Security Standard, with an all-star cast of IT security and compliance professionals. We got the idea for this face-off after 451 Group analyst Josh Corman gave a presentation in which he questioned the effectiveness of the PCI security standard and several IT security practitioners took exception to his description of it as being like "No Child Left Behind."
Along with Corman and the two of us, participants in this roundtable are Jack Daniel, a member of the National Information Security Group (NAISG) and one of the industry's leading activists, Ben Rothke, senior security consultant for BT Global Services, Dr. Anton Chuvakin (Ben and Anton are leading voices on PCI DSS and the authors of several books on IT security), Seattle-based security consultant Ward Spangenberg, and Michael Dahn, a PCI QA manager and director for the InfraGard National Members Alliance (INMA).
What follows is a partial transcript of the debate -- something to stimulate the appetite for more. If it works and you decide to catch the debate in full, you can listen to The Great PCI Security Debate of 2010: Part 1, and Part 2 at both CSOonline and via the Network Security blog.
We begin here:
After McKeay suggests that Corman's position on PCI DSS is "BS," Bill Brenner asks Corman to respond.
Josh Corman: I'm still not sure what we're crying "BS" on, so I'll try to re-articulate here: If you look at a normal bell curve for anything, whether it's No Child Left Behind or how mature a risk program is, there are under-achievers, the bulk in the middle and then there are people who do an excellent job. I've had the privilege to work with a lot of financial services, a lot of DOD [Department of Defense] contractors and the pharmaceuticals and they do a fantastic job. So, it would be a mistake for me to design a universal security program for the security elite. But it would also be a mistake for me to design a fairly expensive and time-consuming process for the neglectful.
I think it was Mike Rothman (of Security Incite) who said this is a Darwinist thing. There are certain people who will never do good security where you can beat them with a stick and they'll do exactly what you told them to do and they'll still have piss-poor security. You guys talk about how, as QSAs, you deal with laggards who can't even spell firewall but I've often dealt with people who do a decent risk program and understand that if there's a new attack vector or technology they need to take new measures to do something about it. What I see, instead of talking about the communities of the laggards and the elite, is something else.

The goal of this study is determine the ability of a novel microneedle tumor injection device to correctly identify drug response in either chemotherapy naïve or Madison-Wisconsin (CHOP) based chemotherapy resistant canine lymphoma patients. If successful, these findings will be used to develop future prospective trials for customized chemotherapy regimens for lymphoma patients in both dogs and in humans with newly diagnosed and resistant lymphoma.
Lymphoma is the most common canine hematopoietic malignancy, with the most common form characterized by generalized lymphadenopathy (multicentric form). Multi-agent combination chemotherapy such as those in Madison-Wisconsin or "CHOP"-based protocols (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) is currently considered the standard of care with response rates of 60-90%; median survival of just over 1 year, and 20% surviving 2 years of longer. Long term control of this cancer is rarely achieved due to multi-drug resistance either at the beginning or eventual development during course of therapy. New approaches to treatment of this uniformly fatal tumor are needed.
A better understanding of tumor-specific chemotherapy resistance profiles prior to therapy has the potential to improve patient treatment outcomes while minimizing exposure to chemotherapeutics that have no benefit. A micro needle drug array device has been developed as a potential in vivo (in patient) chemotherapy assay. The device delivers a panel of chemotherapeutics in a specific spacial and geometric pattern directly into solid tumors 1-3 days prior to surgical biopsy. Histopathologic markers for cell proliferation and apoptosis then allow qualitative assessment of tumor sensitivity or resistance to selected chemotherapeutics. A prototype device has been used in clinical canine patients here at WSU Oncology service since early 2012. In this trial, we will be using a novel tumor injection device to predict resistance to standard chemotherapy drugs of the Madison-Wisconsin / CHOP-based protocol in two groups of clinical canine patients: a group with naïve lymphoma that have never been treated with chemotherapy, and a group with naturally occurring lymphoma that have clearly documented clinically relapsed or failed initial chemotherapy with all drugs in the protocol. By proving that this micro needle device array is a viable in vivo technique for identification of specific chemotherapy resistance in dogs, this would provide a reason to explore further studies such as prospective tailored chemotherapy regimens for canine patients and provide further framework for pilot studies in humans to help improve patient survival and reduce unnecessary side effects from ineffective chemotherapy drugs.
Dogs with lymphoma will be divided into two treatment groups: chemotherapy naïve or resistant.
Group 1 (Naïve lymphoma): Dogs with newly diagnosed multicentric lymphoma (confirmed via cytology or histopathology. These patients will not have received any previous cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs (including prednisone) or any other supplements that are purported to treat cancer.
Group 2 (Refractory-resistant lymphoma): Dogs with multicentric lymphoma (B or T cell phenotype) previously confirmed on cytology or histopathology. These patients will have been previously treated at least once with each of the drugs in the Madison-Wisconsin (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) based chemotherapy protocol and have either failed initial induction by week 4 of treatment or relapsed and become refractory to the same drugs documented by records of progressive disease. The last dose of chemotherapy must be at least 1 week prior to the study to allow clearance of previously administered cytotoxic drugs. Patients must have a popliteal lymph node of at least 2cm in diameter (minimum size for needle array administration). No other herbal supplements or anti-tumor chemotherapeutics can be given while in this 24-72 hour test period.
All costs associated with the microneedle array trial will be covered (anesthesia, tumor injection, 24 hour boarding, popliteal lymph node biopsy, tissue analysis for chemotherapy sensitivity/resistance; $500-700), cytology and histopathology of the lymph node including immunohistochemistry to identify specific lymphoma phenotype (B or T cell; $150), oncology consultation ($102) and complete blood tests (complete blood count, biochemistry, urinalysis, blood smear; $120). Total value $870-1200. For naïve patients the clinical benefits are: portion of staging procedures at no cost (histopathology, cytology, immunophenotyping of lymphoma, blood tests) and potential to identify ineffective drugs prior to administration of the CHOP-based chemotherapy protocols.
In resistant lymphoma cases dogs must be brought for examination and will undergo the initial injections. If the patient is taken home they must return for the scheduled lymph node removal 24-72 hours later. After removal of the node there is no further obligation but we will be happy to help guide further therapy.
In Naïve lymphoma cases, the same is true for the injection procedure. If it is desired to go forward with chemotherapy, clients are responsible for remaining lymphoma staging procedures (thoracic radiographs, abdominal ultrasound and aspirates, bone marrow aspiration and additional imaging if required) that would usually cost an additional $500-600 at WSU, and to pay for the multi-agent chemotherapy, but recheck exams are free as is the data obtained from the chemotherapy assay. These chemotherapy appointments can be performed either at WSU Oncology (typically $2500-3500 spread over 6 months of chemotherapy for a 70-80Lb dog) or coordinated with your local veterinarian if possible. It is highly desirable that once beginning therapy, owners of naïve patients go forward with chemotherapy administration to correlate clinical response to that predicted by the tumor injection assay. A physical examination, complete blood count, and precise lymph node measurements should be performed weekly for the first 4 weeks of the chemotherapy protocol and if a positive response is seen, these rechecks may be then followed up with your local veterinarian if possible.
If interested please contact Betsy Wheeler or Pam Thompson at the WSU VTH 509-335-0711.

El Paso doctor sentenced in W.Va. pill mill probe
A federal judge has sentenced a Texas doctor who operated a pill mill out of a makeshift clinic to more than five years in prison.
The Charleston Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/15w9sBm ) U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver compared Fernando Gonzales-Ramos to a "common street drug dealer" when sentencing him to 71 months in prison on Tuesday.
Gonzales-Ramos pleaded guilty in April to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance without a legitimate medical purpose.
Prosecutors claim he traveled to West Virginia every three months from September 2011 through March 2013, trading prescriptions for controlled substances for $450 to $500. Gonzales-Ramos saw patients in a building in Logan that did not have running water, an exam table or other medical equipment.
Prosecutors say payments were deposited into the physician's personal bank accounts.

How J.J. Abrams can make 'Star Wars' great again
As was the case with many "Star Wars" fans, the prequels left me feeling cold. They just didn't have that sense of excitement, life, and pluckiness of the original films. I felt alienated by the CGI and the mere sight of Jar Jar Binks. I've had some difficulty putting my disappointment into words, but now Portland, Ore., ad agency Sincerely Truman has summed it all up for me in a two-minute video aimed at J.J. Abrams.
Abrams has accepted the major responsibility of carrying "Star Wars" forward. He has a massive legacy to live up to, but he also has to overcome the missteps of the prequel films. I don't envy him the task, but if anyone is up to it, he is. I sure hope he's paying attention to Sincerely Truman's sweet and simple, "4 Rules to Make Star Wars Great Again" video.… Read more
