Self and Society in Everyday Life (B CORE 104A/107A,I&S, VLPA) (10 credits)
The things we do every day are often more than they seem. Even though we may not realize it, many of the things that we do all the time and take for granted—the way we eat, work, relax, and organize time—have histories and geographies that connect us to other people and places in complicated ways. Ultimately, the course aims to show how interconnected we really are, and to closely consider what that might mean for our lives and our futures, both collective and singular. Students will be introduced to key academic skills and socio-cultural concepts as they critically analyze how social structures are produced in and through ordinary, everyday activities with which they are already intimately familiar.
Place & Displacement in the Americas Human Rights, Culture, and Ethnicity (B CORE 104B/107B, I&S, VLPA) (10 credits)
This course explores how human rights, race, class and culture are shaped by the dynamics of place and displacement in the Americas. Students examine how structures of power are produced and maintained through place-related practices and institutions, such as private property, national borders, immigration policy, reservations, restrictions on use of public space, gentrification & segregation in the city, land dispossession, political exile, and environmental racism. Our analysis spans South, Central, and North America and uses a combination of fiction and poetry, social science, journalism, film, testimony, service learning activities and guest lectures.
Thinking beyond Borders: Philosophical Explorations of Science Fiction (B CORE 104C/107C, I&S, VLPA) (10 credits)
This course explores philosophical and ethical questions of humanity through science fiction film and text. We are interested in the thresholds between humans and machines, emotions and logic, bodies and minds, and disrupting the binary divisions that govern social relations among Earthlings. We also consider how the narratives and technologies of science fiction pervade our lives and shape our identity and everyday interactions—from cars to iPhones to Facebook, we are already blurring the boundaries of our humanity.
Words, Voice, Movement: A Physical Approach to Creative Writing (B CORE 104D/107D, I&S, VLPA) (10 credits)
In this course, you will find a deeper connection to your own words and the words of others, develop your artistic voice, and use movement and physicality to convey ideas. In exploring these concepts, we will use performance-based analysis to increase your understanding and interpretation of existing texts. We'll also use a combination of creative writing and performance to increase your capacity for self-expression and connection to others. Through active participation in in-class writing, acting, and movement exercises, you will develop skills for devising performance projects and creating original compositions.
Global Perspectives: Literature and Social Media for Local Change (B CORE 104E/107E, I&S, VLPA) (10 credits)
This course introduces students to UW Bothell's resources and academic expectations. Employers increasingly seek those with critical thinking and time management skills, who can collaborate across cultures in virtual teams. We will use literary texts to explore our cultures and those of international peers in Morocco and Brazil as we challenge and expand this learning through technology-enhanced virtual exchanges. This course will help you build writing and collaboration skills using social media for problem solving, and ultimately, improved social conditions. You may learn as much about your talents and your hidden assumptions, as you will about others, exploring the meaning of the phrase, "An enemy is one whose story we have not yet heard.
Rhetorics of Redress: Talking Back to Injustice (B CORE 107F, I&S) (5 credits)
During World War II, in a case of what we would now call mass racial profiling, over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were forced from their homes into so-called "internment" camps. Given such injustice, how have people "talked back" in order to redress the past? Why have both the private relief of individual suffering and a public accounting of mass injustice been necessary for redress? And how has the process of writing enabled such "relief" and "accounting?" This course will examine questions such as these we consider the ways camp survivors and their descendants have used language to resist the trauma of history. By the end of the quarter, students will begin to understand the lasting significance of "writing back" to mass injustices that have touched their own lives as they find ways to redress the past in order to reckon with the future.
Arts in Healthcare (B CORE 104G, VLPA) (5 credits)
Since the mid-1980s the use of the arts has increased quite notably in hospitals and other healthcare settings. Healthcare design with ample use of the arts is now a multi-million dollar industry. This course will provide students with general background knowledge of the healthcare system and of various artistic modalities, and most importantly, how these arts are being used therapeutically, expressively, and receptively in today' healthcare settings. Students also will review with guidance portions of selected empirical support for the use of the arts in healthcare, and will assess the aesthetics at a community healthcare site.
"Low" Culture and Social Criticism (B CORE 104H, VLPA) (5 credits)
How does reality television offer frames for understanding formations of gender, race and class? What does the ubiquity of zombies and vampires in popular culture have to do with debt and fiscal austerity? Why are animated series regularly centers of controversy in debates about social values? In this course, we will focus on cultural forms often regarded as beyond the pale of serious inquiry in order to consider the high stakes of "low" culture. Based on the premise that low culture is critically important precisely because it is "accessible," this course will use silly, satirical and otherwise debased texts as entries to critical conversations about such issues as gender and sexual difference, race and citizenship, and debt and poverty.
Coffee and Media: Representations, Histories, Activism (B CORE 104 I, VLPA) (5 credits)
This course examines coffee as a global commodity connected to cultural histories; media representations (ads, documentaries) and literacies; and socioeconomic activism. Seattle is known for its coffee culture so we explore coffee-centric issues, people, and places through guest lecturers, a field trip, and student research. This course includes creating a class wiki and culminates in a final research paper that incorporates multiple exercises and collaborations with librarians and the Writing and Communication Center (WaCC) to learn research and thesis-based scholarly writing.
Seeing is Believing (B CORE 104J, VLPA) (5 credits)
Light and the rendering of light is the foundation for many scientific applications, vision, and even human expression. The course, "Seeing is Believing", explores light as a science and light as an art form – photography. During the quarter, students will be introduced to the physical properties of light and scientific applications, photography as a means of communication and personal expression, historical and contemporary photographers, and the history behind the medium. Throughout the course, students will learn to operate the controls and settings on an SLR camera while exploring the science behind capturing light. Photography as a means of visual dialogue will be emphasized with a focus on developing a personal vision.
Energy, Economics and the Environment (B CORE 107H, I&S) (5 credits)
The available supply of conventional energy and the need for alternative, sustainable energy is a source of controversy. How can we separate fact from fiction? What are the issues with conventional energy? What other options are possible? How do you decide that an energy source is preferable? In this course we will examine basic principles of creating energy, explore conventional energy sources and their environmental and social impacts, and investigate renewable energy sources and their issues and challenges. We will explore energy generation and consumption using science, economics, politics, culture, and the environment. The course includes lectures, guest speakers, case studies, field trips, and hands-on exploration of energy sources.
Undocumented, Unafraid, Unapologetic: Youth Resistance and Social Change (B CORE 170I, I&S) (5 credits)
This course examines youth activism though a study of the growing movement of undocumented youths and a particular focus on immigration reform regarding access to education; specifically through the fight for government support of the Defense, Relief, and Education of Alien Minors Act. This youth resistance organization is known as the DREAMers. These youth have taken a leading role in the debate over immigration reform building on a long history of immigrant resistance and social change. In this course students examine the emergence and growth of the movement in order to investigate the ways in which these young people were able to organize and collaborate while integrating the support of other organizations and gaining their own autonomy.
Energy in the Future (B CORE 107J, I&S) (5 Credits)
Survey of scientific, technological and potential of large-scale renewable energy and barriers to its implementation. Includes discussion of solar, wind, nuclear and other possible energy sources; energy efficiency, large-scale energy storage, climate change; and numerous domestic and international case studies of efforts in sustainability.
Electrifying Inventions: An Introduction to Engineering (B CORE 107G, I&S or B CORE 110A, NW*) (5 credits)
*Students can take this class for either I&S or NW credit depending on which section they sign up for.
Introduces students to engineering and invention through hands-on exploration of electrical technologies and their histories. Working in teams self-organized around a particular device—for example, a telephone, camera, microphone, refrigerator, computer chip—students explore the underlying science, piece together a historical narrative, describe the roles of engineers, and probe ethical, environmental, and societal implications of their chosen device. Readings integrate the science of electromagnetism with history of specific electrical technologies, while kit-based projects provide opportunities for designing, building, and testing basic circuits and devices. The contributions and responsibilities of engineers are emphasized throughout.
The Future of the Earth (B CORE 110B, NW) (5 credits)
There is talk and disagreement about environmental issues such as ""sustainability,"" ""global warming,"" ""conservation,"" ""green consumerism."" How do our values determine our perspectives on the issues? What do our environmental problems mean for your own future as well as the future of the earth? We will examine how these terms are being used in both popular culture and by scientists. This course is an introduction to environmental science and environmental studies at UWB. We will explore interdisciplinary perspectives that combine economics, anthropology, geography, ecology, conservation biology, and climate science. Through this course you will gain academic skills as well as understand how these issues may impact your lifestyle.
Myth Busters: Cultivating Scientific Habits of Mind (B CORE 110D, NW) (5 credits)
**This course is for students participating in the STEM Living Learning Community Only**
A new $19.7 million Student Activities Center will open in fall 2015.

Phoron Tatara's no ordinary musician. As one of the rare Dantists who can summon elder spirits using music called Commandia, his gift is so strong that his spirit partner is none other than the infamous Corticarte Apa Lagranges. Sure, she may look like a young girl in her human form, but you don't get nicknames like "The Crimson Annihilator" and "The Bloody Duchess" for sitting back and watching the daisies grow.
Now, at the behest of the Tsuge Divine Music Player Office, this dynamic duet travels the continent of Polyphonica on Phoron's combination motorcycle/organ, following the song of the open road, orchestrating rescues and generally fixing whatever's baroque! Some musicians wait for a muse to hit them, but Phoron makes his work for scale!

Boeing B-29A 'Superfortress'
The B-29 was a four-engined propeller-driven heavy bomber designed by Boeing for long distance and high altitude operation for use by the U.S. Army Air Force in World War II. It was first flown in September, 1942 and was the most advanced bomber of its era. Features included a pressurized cabin, an electronic fire-control system and remote controlled machine gun turrets. A total of 3,970 planes were built by Boeing in Wichita, Kansas and Renton, Washington, Bell Aircraft in Georgia, and the Glenn L. Martin Co. in Nebraska with production ending in 1946.
After the war, B-29's were used for in-flight refueling, anti-submarine patrol, weather reconnaissance, and search and rescue. The planes and crews were again called into service in the Korea Conflict between 1950 and 1953 and battled the new foes of jet fighters and electronic weapons. The final B-29 left service in September, 1960. Only one flying B-29 example remains, "Fifi," which is operated by the Commemorative Air Force based in Addison, Texas.
Our B-29 is the centerpiece of the Museum's 58th Bomb Wing Memorial exhibit. The 58th Bombardment Wing merits an elite place in American history having played a key role in the defeat of the Japanese Empire in World War II. Starting in Kansas where they tested and trained to fly the B-29, a new and unproven aircraft, to the final bombing mission against Japan, they proved their courage and dedication in the most difficult of conditions -- conquering the searing heat of India, "flying the hump" over the perilous Himalayas, operating from forward bases in China, and finally on the Pacific island of Tinian -- to defeat a fierce and determined enemy.
Press here to learn more about the Museum's plane, "Jack's Hack," and its restoration and go here to take a virtual panoramic tour of the plane's cockpit.

NIST's IT Lab well-heeled to answer agencies' expanding calls for its services
Thursday - 1/10/2013, 9:56pm EST
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Information Technology Laboratory has its hand in nearly every major federal technology initiative from cloud to mobile to healthcare to cybersecurity.
And the ever-increasing dependence on the IT Lab by the rest of government suits Charles Romine, the director of the IT Lab, just fine.
Romine, who took over as director of the lab from long-time leader Cita Furlani about a year ago, said their collaboration with agencies lets them become more effective in meeting the technology needs of the government.
The list of agencies NIST works with is long and growing.
For example, the Energy Department on smart grid, the FBI on biometrics, the Homeland Security Department, the General Services Administration, the Intelligence Community and the Defense Department on cybersecurity and the Treasury Department on securing financial services.
"There aren't very many federal agencies we don't have some engagement with and I'm very proud of that," Romine said. "The breadth of our mission has grown dramatically over the last decade or so, and our contributions are running the gamut from smart grid; we do biometrics; we do software quality assurance. The IT Lab has gotten a lot more attention and there are some challenges that we've been assigned, we have to very, very remain strong in order to meet those challenges."
Tackling the cyber challenge
No challenge is bigger than cybersecurity.
Romine said NIST is close to finalizing updates to special publications for information assurance, 800-53 Rev 4, which governs computer and network controls, and PIV 201-2, which governs the makeup of secure identity cards.
He also said the lab's leadership with the new National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCE) and the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) continue to stretch the bureau's impact on the public and private sector communities.
The NCCE launched with 2012 with a $10 million appropriation from Congress.
"The goal of the center of excellence is to accelerate the adoption of the security technologies, both in the federal government, but particularly in the private sector," he said. "We want to demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated platform of security technologies that can provide a more secure environment for various sectors, whether it's healthcare or financial services or other specific sectors. We are using specific use cases that are sector oriented to drive that research and development."
NIST will issue calls or statements to collect use cases, and then go out and ask for technologies to be applied to those areas.
"It's far less a center of excellence for doing research in a broad array of new technologies, and much more about trying to accelerate the adoption of existing or emerging technologies in an integrated platform for specific use," Romine said. "We've decided on a couple of uses cases. The first one is in the health IT space, trying to address the need of small health care providers to be able to transfer in a secure manner, subject to HIPAA regulations which are a little bit different than standard security regulations, information to other providers or hospitals. The goal there is to try to figure out what the underlying techniques are and the technologies that can be used in order to make this cost effective for small providers."
Another use case focuses on continuous monitoring for federal systems and a third use case is around supply chain security for a specific manufacturing process.
Along with cybersecurity, Romine said the IT Lab is spending a lot of time focusing on cloud computing and mobile devicesmuch of it cyber related as welland big data.
"All of these are intertwined," he said. "One of the advantages of a place like IT Lab at NIST is that we have the breadth, the scope and the capability across our staff to not only address these challenges, but also explore the intersections among them."
Romine said NIST is developing new guidelines for cloud computing, but couldn't give a specific timeline.
He said NIST isn't as far along with big data.
"The challenge really in part is there are a lot of concepts about what the big data actually represents," Romine said. "So we will be seeking to clarify that in the big data component to the joint workshop in January."
NIST is hosting in Gaithersburg, Md. a cloud computing and big data workshop Jan. 15-17.

This is the first year we start using a HSA. The innitial thought was because DH has an expensive dental implant. And the medical FSA has been decreased to 2500. So we enrolled the HSA plan plus the special purpose FSA (which can be only used for dental and vision). And contributed both to the max.
Now, it just hit me that if we just cash flow the dental implant cost (using up the special purpose FSA, as it will lapse if not used in 2013). And keep the pretax money in HSA plan and let it grow tax free. And later on, we can withdraw the equivalent medical spending amount to pay for whatever we like, and the growth part of the HSA fund to pay for future medical cost tax free.
Does that make sense? Did I miss anything? Thx!!

DHS is one of many agencies and groups who collaborate in child care-related partnerships. Here are descriptions and links to some of our partner agencies.
Child Care Resource & referral agencies(CCR&R Network) DHS contracts with the CCR&R Network to provide DHS program services. Local CCR&R agencies recruit providers for DHS child care programs, offer technical assistance to providers, help them meet DHS health and safety requirements, and offer training for Family Friends and Neighbors providers. CCR&Rs help DHS client families locate and maintain safe, reliable, quality child care and provide information on the ERDC program to families who are current or potential child care assistance clients.
Office of Child Care (OCC) of the Department of Education The Office of Child Care is the lead agency in Oregon for the federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). Close to 80% of CCDF dollars are passed through from OCC to DHS for the ERDC program. In addition, OCC is the regulatory agency that licenses child care facilities and conducts background checks on licensed providers. Their website is also a great resource, with a wealth of information and resources for parents, providers, and those interested in child care issues.
The Childhood Care and Education Coordinating Council (CCECC) The CCECC is a collaborative, ad hoc partnership working to create a balanced system of care in Oregon that supports and empowers working families and promotes safe, healthy child development.
Portland State University (PSU) Oregon Center for Career Development in Childhood Care and Education (OCCD) OCCD promotes professional development for child care providers, to achieve high quality care and education for children and youth. OCCD works to develop and operate integrated and statewide professional development standards and systems. OCCD has been developing the Oregon Registry, a voluntary, statewide program to document and recognize the professional achievements of people who work in the childhood care and education profession. Providers who serve DHS clients are eligible to earn an enhanced rate if they meet specified training standards.
Oregon Child Care Research Partnership (OCCRP) The Oregon Child Care Research Partnership, housed within the Family Policy Program at Oregon State University, conducts research related to child care policy at the local and state levels. The mission of the Child Care Research Partnership is to ensure that basic information about childhood care and education in Oregon is current, accurate, and available on local, regional, and state levels and is accessible to all decision-makers. OCCRP conducts the Market Rate study upon which DHS child care subsidy rates are based.
National Child Care Information and Technical Assistance Center (NCCIC) The NCCIC, a service of the Child Care Bureau , is a national clearinghouse and technical assistance (TA) center that provides comprehensive child care information resources and TA services to Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Administrators and other key stakeholders.
Oregon Association for the Education of Young Children (OAEYC) Oregon AEYC is an affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children and serves over 1300 early childhood professionals in the state of Oregon. OAEYC works to support excellent early education, promote public support and policies, build the profession, and improve teaching and learning.
The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees AFSCME Council 75 represents family child care providers who are licensed with the Office of Child Care, a member of the Department of Education. 800-521-5954
The Service Employees International Union Local 503 (SEIU) SEIU Local 503 represents family child care providers who are exempt from licensing. Providers that are exempt from licensing are also referred to as Family, Friends, and Neighbor providers (FFN). 877-451-0002
Central Coordination of CCR&R online child care training calendar Central Coordination of CCR&R maintains a calendar of training opportunities available to child care providers across the state. The calendar includes the orientation for DHS providers that will become mandatory effective July 1, 2010.

Raymond ArsenaultThis book is full of facts, figures and telling anecdotes related to the disintegration of black America, but its real power resides elsewhere. Sometimes writers tell us something familiar—something that we already know, or that we should know—but they do it in such a creative and cleareyed way and with such force that we begin to see things differently independent of any new information. This is exactly what Eugene Robinson has done in Disintegration.

Watson Scores Lone Point as Women's Tennis Suffers First Spring Loss; 8-1 at Erskine
April 11, 2013
DUE WEST, S.C. - In a battle of the league's top two teams, host Erskine College defeated Pfeiffer University 8-1 in Conference Carolinas women's tennis action on Wednesday afternoon. The win sends the Fleet to 14-5 overall, 9-0 in league play, while the Lady Falcons suffer their first loss of the spring dropping to 13-4, 9-1.
Erskine would sweep all three doubles points to get the early lead as Taylor Lindsay and Valeria Mendoza had the tightest match for Pfeiffer falling 8-6. In singles, the Lady Falcons' lone point came from Hannah Watson at #3 with a 6-1, 6-1 win just after the Fleet had officially clinched the match.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Monday hosting Queens in the 2012-2013 regular season finale beginning at 3:00 p.m.

dx valk on hole 15, the orc on 16
I think the zilla sports one is mine i lost about a year ago, i dont remember if i put my name or not on it, does it have 445-7052 phone number on it?
I cant remember if i bought it of jerry collis or play it again, actually i think the valk may be mine also but I cant say fir sure, its been a while
Last edited by swasafix; 06-04-2012 at 08:54 PM.
No writing on either disc. The Valk was in plain sight, zilla was in the clump of trees to the left at the gap on 16, not too far in.
PM sent btw.
I was there when he found them. The Zilla sports disc looked fairly clean, not like they usually look after being outside for a long time. But who knows, someone else could have found it a while back and recently lost it.
Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves. Carl Sagan
I am real sure they are mine, but if the outside chance they are not I am posting this so everybody can see. Adam knows who I am, I wouldnt try to claim something that I dont think is mine. I lost them before the course was changed.
U should have put your name on them

It is easy to take things for granted when you use them every day. Products like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash become more of a part of our daily routine than anything else. But, have you ever noticed how your hair can look and feel different when you use a different, perhaps higher quality, product? The results can be astounding. Products from the Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals Shampoos line deliver a rich dose of nutrients to your hair, leaving it silkier, shinier, and even fuller than before. This product line is designed to improve the quality of your hair as well as the fullness of your tresses.
A very good shampoo, like those in the Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals Shampoos collection, is capable of stimulating hair growth and diminishing the chance of hair loss with continued use. As we age, our hair naturally thins out a bit, and some of us begin experiencing this sooner than others. Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals Shampoos are a wonderful answer to this common complaint for people of all ages. The Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals Shampoos product line is suitable for use by women as well as men.
You can really tell when a company cares about its customers, especially when its products are subjected to scientific studies and improvements based on recent findings. The Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals brand takes great pride in formulating all of its products for the most impressive results in handling customers' common skincare and hair care issues. The Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals Shampoos line works to improve the condition of hair while also minimizing hair loss and encouraging new growth. A high quality shampoo like those in this collection can make all the difference in having hair that looks and feels great.
Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals Hair Conditioning Shampoo does more than just cleanse your hair. This special conditioning shampoo infuses medical grade active ingredients into your hair, helping to prevent hair loss while encouraging new hair to grow in healthier and fuller. The hair follicles become stronger and your hair looks shinier and healthier. This product is specifically designed for anti-hair loss and hair regain, essentially a product to get fuller, thicker locks of hair.
Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals Hair Conditioning Shampoo safely goes up against thinning hair in both men and women, attacking the problem with a nutrient-rich formula that also promotes healthy hair growth. The shampoo formula is based on scientific studies on the most effective ingredients necessary in a shampoo designed to alleviate hair loss. This product comes in a pump style bottle for easy dispensing. For best results, consider using this conditioning shampoo along with Dermaheal Cosmeceuticals Hair Nutritional Pack and Hair Concentrating Serum.

|My intention was to climb DT from Aasgard quickly and be down before the afternoon thunderstorms hit the mountains. I always hear horror stories about hiking to Aasgard pass but there was a decent path from Colchuck lake to the pass so made good time. Snow on the glacier was very soft and some point release debris were visible but it was very straightforward. Finally caught up with a very fast paced climber, Jeff, on the summit. It was still around 10 and he suggested to climb Witches Tower and Little Annapurna. So we first went down the south ridge of DT and off the ridge steep soft snow on to the south side of Witches tower and scrambled up a class-3 route to its cool summit. From there a gentle raising traverse to Little Annapurna. After a well earned lunch break and exchanges of our climb stories back down to the pass and at 5pm arrived at the car. Admired the climbers on the rocks along Icicle road as I drove back to L-worth and eventually made it back to Portland before midnight.
I had a great day in one of the most beatiful places and dedicated this little trip on Father's Day to my dad who passed away a year ago and is missed dearly...

|Quite the littany of flexibility on this one. Plans changed numerous times. Originally was going to meet up Saturday evening with friends Mark/Natasha and Chris/Shauna. They were each going to do Serpentine Arrete in two teams and I was going to do Colchuck and Dragontail via Colchuck Glacier. I got a late start out of Portland and didn't get to the trailhead until almost 11 pm so I opted to crash in the truck and start at first light.
Got going about 4:30 am at the same time as another party of 3 who slept at the trailhead too. Made Colchuck Lake by about 6:30 or so. Had been on the walkie talkie to try to contact my friends all the way in but no response and never saw them on the route. Ran into them at their tents by the lake. They had started up much earlier and the weather window they needed never opened. By the time I got there though the weather was clearing so they decided to hike up to the lakes basin. I opted to enjoy the trail with them instead of the glacier. Lots of laughs all the way up.
At the Pass we headed to the lakes for a bit and ran into a very curious goat. I departed for the glacier while they then headed east for a hike. Scrambled up and over a few minor ridges. Be careful on these if you do so, I slipped on a polished slab and rode a 45 degree rock down about 30 feet hoping I wouldn't turn an ankle.
Luckily I didn't and I then started up the glacier. Pretty slushy by this time of day (about 11 am). Went mostly straight up until the top, then did a switchback to gain the saddle. Ditched the axe and crampons and scrambled up to the summit. Knew I would be late getting back home to Portland so opted to descend the same route instead of downclimb to Colchuck. Hiked out with Chris and Shauna.
Back at the trailhead as I rubbed my feet and moaned, I ran into the group that departed a few minutes before me that morning. They had done the 10 mile hike into Prusik, did the South Arrete route as a team of 3, and hiked out in the same amount of time (about 15 hours) as it took me o Dragontail. I quickly shut up as I knew I had just gone from long, tough dayclimber to wuss in like 15 seconds.
Still don't think I'd recommend this as a dayhike although it certainly can be done as one. Just made for another late night drive home for me. Hit my bed about 2:30 am but still glad I did it as it was great to hang with friends and get a peak in.

Joe Hahler & Ruth Martin were on a separate rope team.
Stay left on final pitches to hit the big exit ledge...critical...it looks like you should go to the right, but that traps you under the big roofs of the summit towers & moves must be reversed. I still fondly remember a wonderful pitch of chickenheads warmed by the sun.
Minimal pro: #1 & #2 Camalots, 2-3 Friends, 2 Tech Friends, several stoppers. Plus helmet! This was my first multi-pitch alpine rock climb & I'll never, ever forget it...as well as the 1st time I had ever been exposed to serious rockfall (no one was hit). From talking later to another party, who had experienced the same thing in what we agreed upon was the "Death Gully", we all may have been slightly off-route. Beckey terms this route "distinctly sporting."
Roped up at 7:45 am...summitted 7:30 pm...& that was with all 5 of us. Descent via Aasgard Pass.

|Climbed with Phil Dyment who was living in Ellensburg then. We went light; car to car in 16 hours. The 80 foot long 5.9 offwidth in the middle may have a couple of 5.9 moves but it's reputation far exceeds it's bite. Don't be afraid, it's easy. The wet rock down low was harder. The finishing pitches on the fin were wild. Very beautiful area.

|Pete and I did this walk-up in howling wind and blue skies. I thought we'd get blown off, but by the time we got near the top the winds died down some. Awesome scenery from the top. Dark clouds to the west moving east chased us back to the truck the next day.

|Route Climbed: Triple Couloirs Date Climbed: April 4, 2002
|Got lost in the dark on the approach - lots of bushwacking; missed the last bridge that led to some dicey creek crossings via icy logs. Good climb with several pitchs of veneer ice plastered over granite, plus several pitches of neve; sustained climbing of 50-70 degrees for entire route; outstanding exposure that really made the climb worthwhile. Great glissade down Asgard pass to Colchuck Lake - beats walking. Horrendous hike out in soft snow - numerous plunges to chest height while crossing the boulder field below Colchuck Lake. Simul soloed entire route with partner - car to car in 12 hours.

|Route Climbed: Aasgard Pass/Snow Creek Glacier Date Climbed: 07/27/02
|Dragontail Peak via Colchuck Lake and Aasgard Pass Since my traverse off the Enchantments last October, I have been drawn to Dragontail Peak. There is an incredible image of it in my family room that was taken by RF Bolton (A great mountain photographer).
With the extension of the road closure till Aug 1, I grabbed my friend John and we headed out to Leavenworth on Friday night. We left the Stuart Lake TH at 9am and made it to Colchuck Lake by 1030. We traversed around the lake and ate food and rested for half an hour at the base of Aasgard Pass (the only way
to the Enchantments IMO). We started the ascent in hot weather and heavy packs (we had planned to do Witches Tower as well (2 pitches 5.6)but after about 300 vertical feet we were dying and knew that time would not be on our side to do both so we opted to only do Dragontail. We left our rock gear behind and with lighter packs we made it to the top of Aasgard Pass by 130pm. The view was incredible as always, and we started up towards the Snow Creek Glacier and rested at the base to eat more and rest. We spoke to a party that had just ascended the Serpentine Arete (5.8) and bid them a good trip down the pass. We started our ascent of the glacier and traversed back and forth in the soft styrafoam snow that had a nice ice layer underneath and made it to the col in 30 minutes or less. Once there I was looking for the class 2-3 scramble that I have always heard about, but it's nothing more than an unusually well traveled trail that was 10 times better than Aasgard pass, and much easier. The summit was awesome, and views were 360 degrees. It was 4pm and we decided to turn around and head for the car. I can't say anything more than I suffered on the way down, after doing Rainier on Tuesday I felt the pain and agony - but was happy to have been perched on the summit of Dragontail (11 hours car to car)::: Next Route : Serpentine Arete

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose a B-cell lymphoma; to detect and evaluate residual cancer cells
When to Get Tested?
When a doctor thinks that you may have a B-cell lymphoma; sometimes to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment or to evaluate for recurrent disease
Sample Required?
A bone marrow, tissue (biopsy), or body fluid sample collected by your doctor; sometimes a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test detects characteristic changes (rearrangements) in specific genes in B-cells. This information can be helpful in diagnosing a B-cell lymphoma.
B-cells are a type of lymphocyte (a kind of white blood cell, WBC) that produces antibodies in response to infections or other "foreign invaders." Rearrangements in certain parts of their DNA called immunoglobulin genes are a normal part of their development. These rearrangements are associated with the development of a large repertoire of diverse B-cells, allowing them to protect against many different kinds of infections. The final order in which the genes are rearranged is called a gene rearrangement profile. Within any normal population (sample) of B-cells, the cells and their gene rearrangement profiles are very diverse.
In a lymphoma, the B-cells in affected tissue (such as blood, bone marrow or lymph node) are identical and their gene rearrangement profiles are likewise identical. Lymphomas arise when an abnormal B-cell begins to produce numerous identical copies of itself (clones). The cloned cells grow and divide uncontrollably, crowding out normal cells.
A B-cell immunoglobulin gene rearrangement test evaluates the B-cells in a person's sample to determine whether the majority of B-cell rearrangement profiles are diverse or identical. This information, along with clinical signs and symptoms and results of other laboratory tests, can help clarify a person's diagnosis, or evaluate the persistence or recurrence of lymphoma.
About 85% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the U.S. are B-cell lymphomas, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).
For additional details about B-cells and this testing, read more.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A bone marrow or other tissue biopsy procedure is performed by a doctor or other trained specialist. Body fluid samples are obtained by inserting a needle into the body cavity and withdrawing a portion of the fluid with a syringe. Sometimes, a blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

The Ritchey WCS C260 Carbon Matrix stem blends light weight with high strength performance to give you a cockpit that tracks straight and true. The WCS C260 Carbon Matrix adds a carbon exoskeleton that makes the Ritchey WCS C260 Carbon stem the stiffest Ritchey stem gram for gram. The WCS line for Ritchey is the gold standard for performance and the rainbow stripes represent Ritchey's numerous World Championships won on Ritchey products.
Right off, you notice that the clamp on the Ritchey WCS C260 Carbon Matrix wraps a full 260 degrees around the handlebar to distribute clamping stress more evenly through the handlebar, faceplate, hardware, and stem body. Ritchey can make the WCS C260 Carbon Matrix a bit lighter because the handlebar clamping force is supported more by the stem then by the faceplate. The steerer clamp on the Ritchey WCS C260 Carbon Matrix also receives similar treatment with 3 smaller then normal M4 bolts to reduce clamping force on the steerer tube.
What is more difficult to see is Ritchey's aim at keeping the WCS C260 Carbon Matrix stem strong and fatigue resistant. The Ritchey WCS C260 Carbon passes CEN certification (one of the industries most rigorous standards for safety in the bicycle industry). The Ritchey WCS C260 Carbon Matrix is built using 7050 aluminum that is 3d forged and internally machined to reduce weight and then wrapped with a carbon exoskeleton making it 14% stiffer the the alloy WCS C260 stem! Premium chromoly bolts are used throughout in a smaller M4 size to save weight without compromising strength.
Due to the 260 degree handlebar clamp, the WCS C260 Carbon Matrix will not fit handlebars with aero section flat tops.

Comments about Ritchey WCS C-260 Carbon Matrix Stem:
This stem attracts attention but I don't fault it for being beautiful. Lightweight and quieted my rough commute though resiliant. A little tricky to install. The 260 degree wrap of the stem makes for some quiet analysis in trying to manuver around drop bars with flat (comfort) top tubes. Pay attention to the warning in the specs. It doesn't fit all bars.

Unifi's Repreve got a boost with a new manufacturing and distribution agreement.
The company announced July 29 a new agreement with Palmetto Synthetics, LLC to sell Palmetto Unifi's Repreve chip. Palmetto will in turn create staple fiber with the chip - the first U.S. made Repreve staple fiber product option for the textile industry.
Chip is a textile term for the basic polymer form used in fiber production. Staple fiber is a term used to identify the difference between natural or cut length manufactured fibers from filaments.
The chip will be produced in Unifi's Repreve recycling center.
"We have a shared vision with Unifi to provide the textile industry with high quality, innovative products, which led us to this supply relationship," said David Poston, vice president of Palmetto Synthetics. "We have seen a big shift in inquiries for a domestically made recycled fiber, and this initiative with Unifi allows us to amplify our domestic efforts."
The products created will be both Berry Amendment and NAFTA compliant as part of that domestically made procedure.
The fibers will be useful in materials for military uniforms, apparel, denim, non-woven products, automotive products, and many others.
Repreve is the name of Unifi's recycled fiber. The name comes from the "reprieve" the company is giving the planet from the recycled materials used.
In 2012 Repreve reclaimed 410 million recycled plastic bottles.
"Since 2007, we have continued to grow our product offering, helping to make Repreve a leading brand of recycled fibers globally," said Jay Hertwig, vice president, global branding at Unifi, Inc. "As we expand our Repreve polymer chip sales, we are now in a position to enter into new market segments and will provide the industry with a transparent recycled solution."

Ralph Macchioactor
Born: 11/4/1961
Birthplace: Huntington, New York
Ralph Macchio began acting in television commercials at the age of 16, which led to his first film role in Up the Academy (1980). Macchio then appeared on the popular television series Eight is Enough (1980–81). His next film role was as the troubled Johnny Cade in 1983's The Outsiders. His best known and most successful film was The Karate Kid (1984), along with two sequels, The Karate Kid Part II (1986) and The Karate Kid III (1989). Critics believe that Macchio's youthful look blocked his transition from teen roles to more adult roles. He played small parts in the Joe Pesci vehicle, My Cousin Vinny (1992), Naked in New York (1994), Can't Be Heaven (1999) and The Office Party (2000). Macchio has also appeared in a traveling production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Organyc Beauty Cotton Pads are ideal for women who want to avoid any contact with synthetic materials on the skin and feel fresh, safe and clean, while choosing a hypoallergenic product without any negative effect on the environment. Over 80% of women who react to contact with plastic and synthetic materials have repored that they prefer cotton. You will feel the benefits of cotton within the first month of use.
In order to market a crop as "organic", a grower must be certified through a third party. This process involves several on-farm inspections in order to obtain the certification. Organic production begins with organically grown seed. If certified organic seed cannot be located, untreated seed may be used as long as it is not derived from genetically modified plants.
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials with the purpose of reducing the impact on the environment. And preserving the natural equilibrium between the many components of the ecosystem. Organic agriculture endeavors to work in harmony with nature, producing healthy plants for healthy people. For example, organic farming uses bio-rational products and bio-control agents for pest management. Organic certification is the public's assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict, safe procedures.

The World Is Flat
India to be spared of Boeing job cuts
NAGPUR: Aircraft manufacturing major Boeing, which has announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs worldwide this year in view of the global economic crisis, would not lay-off employees in India, a top company official has said.
Though the global economic recession has already hit several sectors, Boeing announced the job cut while declaring its annual financial results a few days ago, Boeing Senior Vice-President Dinesh Keskar said here.
He ruled out any job cuts for now in India, a key market for the Chicago-based company that makes passenger, freight and military planes.
Keskar, however, said Boeing has orders for supplying 3,700 aircraft, worth USD 275 billion, to various airline companies across the world. It will take at least five years for the company to fulfil the business commitment.
And the corporate rat bastards tell American workers to bend over a little further . . .

Men's and Women's Tennis Notch 6-3 League Wins at Barton
March 12, 2011
WILSON, N.C. Pfeiffer University scored a pair of 6-3 victories over Barton College on Saturday afternoon in Conference Carolinas mens and womens tennis action. The men swept through doubles play before holding off the Bulldogs late while the Lady Falcons had to rally after doubles to pick up the win. The men improve to 4-1 overall, 1-0 in league play while the Lady Falcons move to 5-5, 2-1.
In mens play, after the Falcons scored all three points in doubles action, Pfeiffer split their six singles contests to pull out the win. Philip Lawson and Johan de Wit won in the first and second singles positions while Stephen Tyndel notched a point at #6. Lawson was up 7-6, 3-0 before his Barton opponent retired while de Wit won in straight-sets 6-2, 6-3. Tyndel was also victorious in straight-sets two and two.
On the womens side, Catie Thomas and Briana Oliver notched the only doubles point early, before the Lady Falcons took over winning five of the six singles matches en route to the win. Alena Krutkina and Kayleigh Featherstone needed three sets to pull off the point while Thomas, Cari Hopson and Oliver rolled in straight-sets.
