Some types of metal can cause blurry images.You will lie on your stomach on a narrow table with your breasts hanging down into cushioned openings. The table slides into a large tunnel-like tube.Some exams require a special dye (contrast). Most of the time, you will get the dye through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the radiologist see some areas more clearly.During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test most often lasts 30 - 60 minutes, but may take longer. How to Prepare for the Test You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan.Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious. Also, your doctor may suggest an "open" MRI. The machine is not as close to the body in this type of test.Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:Brain aneurysm clips Certain types of artificial heart valves Heart defibrillator or pacemaker Inner ear (cochlear) implants Kidney disease or dialysis (you may not be able to receive the IV contrast) Kidney diseaseChronic kidney disease is the slow loss of kidney function over time.

Items such as jewelry, watches, credit cards, and hearing aids can be damaged. Pins, hairpins, metal zippers, and similar metallic items can distort the images. Removable dental work should be taken out just before the scan. How the Test will Feel An MRI exam causes no pain. You will need to lie still. Too much movement can blur MRI images and cause errors.If you are very anxious, you may be given medicine to calm your nerves.The table may be hard or cold, but you can ask for blanket or pillow. The machine makes loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You can wear ear plugs to help reduce the noise.An intercom in the room lets you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones to help the time pass.There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax. After an MRI scan, you can return to your normal diet, activity, and medicines unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Why the Test is Performed MRI provides detailed pictures of the breast. It also provides clear pictures of parts of the breast that are hard to see clearly on an ultrasound or mammogram.Breast MRI may also be performed to: Check for more cancer in the same breast or the other breast after breast cancer has been diagnosed Distinguish between scar tissue and tumors in the breast Evaluate a breast lump (most often after biopsy) Evaluate an abnormal result on a mammogram or breast ultrasound Evaluate for possible rupture of breast implants Find any cancer that remains after surgery or chemotherapy ChemotherapyThe term chemotherapy is used to describe cancer-killing drugs.

Risks MRI contains no radiation. No side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.The most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions to this dye are rare. However, gadolinium can be harmful to people with kidney problems that need dialysis. If you have kidney problems, please tell your health care provider before the test.The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can make heart pacemakers and other implants not work as well. It can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift. Considerations Breast MRI is more sensitive than mammogram, especially when it is performed using contrast dye. However, breast MRI may not always be able to distinguish breast cancer from noncancerous breast growths. This can lead to a false positive result.MRI also cannot pick up tiny pieces of calcium (microcalcifications), which mammogram can detect.A biopsy is needed to confirm the results of a breast MRI.Related Information Open ReferencesReferencesAmerican Cancer Society recommendations for early breast cancer detection in women without breast symptoms.

Rant & Rave: Limited Edition Packaging
This Week's Topic: Limited Edition Packaging
Share: Tell us what you love, hate, or are otherwise indifferent to about limited edition packaging. Do you prefer it? Does it matter?
my answer: I'm sure this sounds weird, but generally… I don't like it. I like everything to match, so I think that's a large part of it. The other part is that I think the kind of aesthetic I like best is rarely done. I really don't like when a brand creates special boxes and ups the price, because for most of us, that's something we'll recycle.
Discussion and debate are highly encouraged, and we expect community members to participate respectfully.

EDITORIAL: With fracking passed, now comes the hard part
For better or worse, the process of hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, has cleared both houses of the General Assembly. As of Friday, the bill was bound for Gov. Pat McCrory to be signed into law.
Reactions predictably have been divided, with foes calling the passage rash and irresponsible, and advocates saying that the move is a show of good faith by the state.
As one opponent noted, the rules and regulations drafted by the Mining and Energy Commission have yet to be approved. Citizens will get their say during a public comment period running through Sept. 15. Permits could become available as soon as next summer — and our own state Rep. Mike Stone expressed confidence that fracking would be happening in North Carolina sometime in 2015.
Proponents have explained that by taking this action now, the oil and gas industry will see that North Carolina is taking this process, and its economic potential, seriously.
It just feels very premature to us to go ahead and green light this controversial practice before approving the rules that will regulate it. Concerns about possible impact to air and water quality are far from fully resolved.
In fairness, for some, they may never be — and the debate can't continue indefinitely. There's a fine line between dragging our feet on an activity that could be a boon for our area, resulting in prosperity and desperately needed jobs, and proceeding conscientiously.
The Mining and Energy Commission, on which Lee County is well represented, has heard all manner of comments over the many months it has weighed and researched this issue. Its members have shaped, tweaked and refined its 120 draft rules accordingly. Neither the most zealous oil and gas industry advocate, nor the most ardent environmentalist, are likely to be totally satisfied with the result — nor should they be if the commission has fulfilled its function.
Yes, we would like to see the regulatory framework in place prior to the first permit. However, we grant that the commission has considered this matter carefully — and at some point intention must translate to action.
Having said that, we share the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League's concern about the potential loss of an air monitor in Lee County — which is threatened by legislation allowing for removal of any monitor not required by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. As drilling begins in earnest, we need more means to gauge potential impacts to the environment — not fewer.
At the outset, leaders recognized an opportunity to craft the best set of fracking rules in the nation — and the advantage they had in being guided by others' successes and missteps. Whether or nor they've done so depends on the person asked.
Even as the process is legalized, let's agree to continue the debate — and allow our policies to evolve as technology advances, our knowledge grows, and we learn from our own mistakes.
The work to implement this process as safely and effectively as possible is far from over with the latest developments. In fact, it is just beginning.

When We Wake by Karen Healey
It's 2027, and Tegan Oglietti is a happy, relatively angst-free teenager. She's just made her crush her boyfriend, and she and her group of friends spend their time doing parkour, playing guitar, and protesting the various ills of the world: environmental degradation, social injustice, and more. Her world is a little different from our own in 2013, but not so much to be unbelievable.
Then, on the way to a protest, Tegan dies. But it's not the end of her life. She wakes up 100 years in the future, having agreed to donate her body to science and therefore unwittingly also agreed to be a part of the government's experimental cryonics program. She's the first to be successfully frozen and revived, and she's told that this procedure will be used to help other people living in the year 2127.
Anyone who has read a futuristic story like this will know that Tegan is being lied to. There's clearly something else going on with the cryonics experiment. Tegan herself is kept on a very short leash, given just enough freedom to keep her from outright rebellion. As Tegan makes her way in this new world, learning how its changed for the better and how its changed for the worse, making a few friends along the way, she starts to unravel the truth.
Tegan is a terrific character. She's a budding activist in her "home" time, but a bit unsure about it. She wants so desperately to make things better, and when she wakes up in the future to discover that yes, some things are better, but some are much, much worse, it's a little heartbreaking. One of the most moving moments for me was when Tegan finally breaks down and shouts at those around her who have helped make this world the way it is, telling them to "Be better!" Her disappointment is palpable and devastating.
When We Wake is, in some ways, a bit of a throwback for a dystopia, and I mean that in a good way. It seems most of the dystopias churned out recently envision future worlds full of the most lurid, shocking, and frankly ridiculous social systems the author could think up. Healey brings us back to Earth - her future is very different from our present, but it's also believable. For example, there's less racial prejudice but a good deal more environmental crisis. She extrapolates a set of realistic issues for her future society to deal with from the same issues that we tackle today. More importantly, though, When We Wake brings back some actual commentary - social, political, environmental. She shows that the actions we - as humans - are taking now matter, that they impact the future, our children and grandchildren and beyond. What we do now makes a difference - both good and bad. Healey doesn't hit you over the head with it, but it's there, and thank goodness.
The writing is excellent, which is what I've come to expect from a Karen Healey book. Tegan has a great voice, and the first person perspective is completely warranted: by the end of the book, it's clear she's telling her story to a specific audience for a specific reason. It is, perhaps, not as emotionally resonant as The Shattering, but not much is. It packs a punch nonetheless.
Next week, we'll be sharing a Twitterview with Healey, who gives us a little more insight into Tegan and her future world(s). We'll also be giving away a finished copy of the book, courtesy of Little, Brown, and this is a giveaway you'll want to enter.
Review copy provided by the publisher. When We Wake is available now.

Thanks for the review! I had not heard of this and just added it to my TBR!ReplyDelete
I've been wanting to read this book for a while now, so it's good to know it was well written! I'm particularly interested in the aspects you mentioned about it being a throwback to dystopia. I like that it explores actual issues we are facing today. Great review!ReplyDelete
I agree that one of the more frustrating aspects of recent dystopians is definitely the lackluster world-building and unbelievable premises. From what you've stated here, When We Wake definitely seems to do a better job at that. Thanks for the thoughtful review. This sounds like a really interesting book - I'll have to check it out.ReplyDelete

Zero F*cks Given: Watch Rihanna Drink Vodka Out Of A Stilleto
Oh Rihanna, every day you remind of us why we continue to love you more and more. We love your "I don't give an F" attitude and, honestly, since that "Pour It Up" music video, I personally worship you.
What is making our jaws drop today? Well, Rihanna was caught on camera drinking her vodka out of a stiletto. Bitch don't kill my vibe? Nothing was stopping this singer's vibes or preventing her from getting her drink on in the Barbados earlier this week.
No one knows whom this shoe even belonged to, but one thing we know for sure is that this is true Rih Rih fashion.
We all do pretty dumb sh*t while intoxicated, and being a celebrity doesn't make anybody an exception. You embrace that quarter life crisis, Rihanna, and we will be right here with you supporting you on your journey.

Everyone says that Opera is an innovative browser, but most fail to say why. So I created a list of ten features that are really helpful in your everyday browsing and are available in Opera. Some of them are available in Firefox, if you download extensions, or in other browsers, so you may say they're not unique to Opera, but Opera used them first and they are a part of Opera's innovation.
Here's the list:
1. Duplicate this tab
You visit a page and you want to read it later. For the moment, you want to go back to the previous one. What do you do? Copy the address of the page, create a new tab and paste the URL in the address bar. In Opera you just click Duplicate. The new tab will also duplicate the history.
2. Go to URL
You see a web address in a page, but it's not not hyperlinked. How do you visit the web page? You copy it and paste it in the address bar, then press enter. In Opera, select the address, right-click and select "Go to URL".
3. Reload every 30 seconds
You go to a site that shows the live score of a baseball match and it doesn't reload periodically, so you'll have to press F5 every 30 seconds to see the score. In Opera, select "reload every 30 seconds".
4. Fit to window width
Nobody likes the horizontal scrollbar in a page, but some webmasters don't bother to view their sites at different resolutions. In Opera, select "fit to window width" to remove the horizontal scrollbar and shrink the content.
5. Rewind
You search for something at Google, discover a great site, you visit 20 pages from that site and then you want to go back to the search results. You can click Back 20 times or try to locate Google in the drop-down list. Or you can just hit "Rewind" if you use Opera.
6. Nicknames for collections of sites
How do you visit you favorite sites? You bookmark them and then try to locate the sites in the Bookmars menu. Or you enter the first letters of the URL in the address bar. In Opera you can associate nicknames to sites or collection of sites. Picture this: type "news" and see your favourite news sites opening in their tabs.
7. Tab closing
You visit site A, open a link to site B in a new tab, but the tabs A and B aren't next to each other. If you close tab B, Firefox won't revert to the tab A. You'll see site C in a tab at the left of tab B. Opera shows the previous active tab.
8. Instant back
When you click Back, the browser tries to refetch the page. Opera shows the page from the cache, so the "Back" action happens instantly.
9. Page zoom
Some sites have almost unreadable font sizes, others have huge pictures. Opera zoom feature maintains the site integrity and allows you to view the site without losing the visual presentation.
10. Crash recovery
Your browser crashes and you want to go back to the sites you were visting before the crash. In Firefox, you have to go History and open them one by one. Opera automatically saves last session so you'll see the tabs in the same order when you open the browser.
And that's not all:
11. if you want to load pages faster, you can load only cached images
12. you can control the browser with voice commands
13. use mouse gestures (you can go back this way: hold right button and move mouse left or hold right button and click left button)
14. create beautiful presentations without using Microsoft PowerPoint (even online)
15. change keyboard shortcuts
All the features above are available in Opera 8. The new version of Opera (Opera 9 Beta) has even more: BitTorrent integration, widgets, thumbnail preview for tabs and page customization (that's right - you can save settings just for a page).

Hearings set for kelp farms sought near Chebeague, Jewell islands
CHEBEAGUE ISLAND — Proponents and opponents of two experimental three-year leases of the waters off the coasts of Chebeague and Jewell islands are preparing to make their cases to the state Department of Marine Resources.
Ocean Approved LLC, which maintains a kelp farm near Little Chebeague Island, want to use the additional locations to grow several varieties of kelp to sell as food.
The project has been funded largely by a $300,000 grant the company received in September from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Small Business Innovative Research program.
Ocean Approved was the first kelp farm to open in the United States. Owners Paul Dobbins and Tollef Olson have said they chose the two new locations because they represent different ocean currents and will allow the company to experiment with a variety of kelp in different waters to see what works best.
But some lobstermen and island residents oppose the two locations, over concerns that the farms will interfere with fishing and moorings.
At least 13 people have submitted letters requesting an adjudicatory hearing on the Chebeague Island lease, and at least five have requested the same hearing for Jewell Island.
The Chebeague Island hearing will be held Dec. 19 at 11:30 a.m. at the Chebeague Island Hall Community Center, 247 South Road. The Jewell Island hearing will be held Dec. 21 at 1 p.m. at Community Hall on Cliff Island.
The hearings are formal fact-finding sessions where witnesses will be called to testify under oath. It will then be up to the DMR commissioner to determine whether the lease interferes unreasonably with lobster fishing and other uses of the areas.
Those who wrote letters asking for the Chebeague Island hearing, including the Chebeague Island harbor master, several long-time lobstermen, and representatives from the Chebeague Island Community Association, expressed concerns that the proposed location would interfere with lobster fishing, a planned future town mooring site, and riparian rights for nearby landowners.
The Jewell Island letters were all faxed together to the DMR and contained no reasons for their hearing request. Each requester signed a brief statement requesting the hearing. They did not provide addresses or contact information.
Dobbins said he and Olson have been preparing for the hearings, while in the midst of their busiest season at the kelp nursery at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute on Commercial Street in Portland.
He would not elaborate on their plans for testimony at the hearing, or share his thoughts on the hearing, saying only that they hope lobstermen will be the prime users of the aquaculture they develop with these leases.
"This can all co-exist," Dobbins said. "We just have to convince everyone it can."

I disagree. Star Trek is supposed to cater to a sci fi audience...star trek IV barely had any true sci fi elements. they were in space for less than 15 ******* minutes the entire damned movie! Its not "time trek" or "Whale trek" or even "ecoconscience trek" its ******* STAR TREK. and the only god damned star that whole movie was the SUN when they flew around it. The rest of the movie might as well have been time traveling amish people in Sanfransisco!

A one-year-old boy died Saturday night after he was hit by an SUV in a driveway. It happened around 6:45 p.m. in the 4100 block of Hiawatha Blvd.
When officers arrived that the scene, they found the toddler pinned under the SUV. Police say family members were rearranging cars in the driveway when the toddler was struck.
First responders managed to get the boy out from under the SUV. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition where he later died.
Police don't believe alcohol was a factor in the incident. No one else was hurt. The death is under investigation by Fort Wayne Police.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
AL ASAD AIR BASE, Iraq, Dec. 29, 2005 An 82nd Airborne Division unit has again proven the division's unofficial motto of "America's 911 Force" during its deployment to Iraq's Anbar province.
It was a short, violent and ultimately fulfilling deployment for the paratroopers of Task Force 3-504, said its commander, Army Lt. Col. Larry Swift.
The unit - built around the 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and under command of the 2nd Marine Division while in Iraq - was one of two battalions deployed in September from Fort Bragg, N.C. The unit worked with other coalition and Iraqi forces to shape the Anbar province battlespace for the Oct. 15 constitutional referendum and the Dec. 15 national election.
In the unit's four-month deployment, five task force soldiers were killed and 25 were wounded as the paratroopers directly confronted the insurgents and foreign fighters intimidating the population and planning operations against coalition and Iraqi forces.
The unit bulked up before arriving, with elements of the 313th Military Intelligence Battalion; 3rd Battalion, 319th Field Artillery; the 307th Engineers; and a liaison team from the Marines Corps.
After the task force's convoy to Iraq from Kuwait, "we almost immediately started combat operations," Swift said. The "Wild West," as some paratroopers called it, was a hotbed of the insurgency. The task force used intelligence to target insurgent leaders, deny terrorists safe havens and protect the people of the region from the insurgents. The task force operated in Haqlaniyah, Habbaniyah and Ramadi.
Most of the paratroopers were combat veterans, and that helped immensely, said Command Sgt. Maj. Brian Meyers, the unit's sergeant major. He said their experience meant they understood the need for cohesion and communication.
Still, the bonding and the way the fire teams worked together surprised some of the unit's members. "We had our squabbles in the rear area, but when it all came down to taking fire or getting in a situation where we have to make sure we're doing the right thing, everybody melds together," said Pfc. John Ryle, a B Company radio operator.
The first time his unit took fire, he said, everyone snapped into action. "The team leaders instantly had control of the situation; they sent the paratroopers where they needed had to go," he said. "Everybody who had a specific task they had trained for, did them."
Army Spc. Jason Knorr, an automatic rifleman with C Company, said that moment happened for him when his unit took fire while entering Habbaniyah. "Back in the rear, we train constantly for the mission," he said. "When it happens for real, your training takes over and you don't have to think about it - you just do what you need to."
Once the action was over, the paratroopers were able to relate to the Iraqis in the area. A D Company medic, Pfc. Dustin Lehmann, said he was surprised and pleased that when the unit moved into an area, people started bringing their sick children and other family members in to see him. "They rely on you and trust you to take care of them," Lehmann said. "And knowing you can help was an amazing feeling. We treated lot of small children with malaria, a lot of burn injuries and bullet wounds."
The unit also gave protection to Iraqi doctors trying to provide care to their countrymen. He said the Iraqi equipment was poor, but the Iraqi doctors were "high-speed," and knew what they were doing.
All in the unit were surprised at the level of insurgent intimidation. "In one town, this man wouldn't cooperate with them, so they kidnapped his son and left his headless body on the street in front of his house," Swift said. "In another, they kidnapped this woman's husband and raped her son right in front of her.
"They perpetrate just heinous acts to keep the people quiet and to get them to provide shelter," he continued. "It's an insurgency based on nothing but fear."
Swift said he saw no surge of support for the insurgents. Families in the region cooperated with the insurgents, he said, because of simple fear or because someone paid them to plant an improvised explosive device or fire on a coalition patrol.
"(The insurgents) have nothing to offer," he said.
The paratroopers noticed quickly what effect they were having in these cities, towns and villages. "The first few days, no one would come out," said Army Sgt. Abel Peterson, a fire team leader with A Company. "But then you would see folks start coming out into the street. They felt safe seeing us around."
In one instance, his company cleared a street and one woman came out and hugged his platoon sergeant. "She had lost her husband to Saddam's thugs; her sons had been run out of town by the insurgents," he said. "But that night she knew she was safe. It sticks in my mind."
Asking Iraqis for information on the terrorists also got easier as the coalition forces stayed in an area, Swift said. "You would go down a street, and people would tell you that they didn't know the insurgents; they didn't leave their houses," he said. "And then we found one man who had 'had it' with the insurgents. He was too mad with them to be scared, and he told us who the insurgtents were, where to find them and how they operated."
In many cases, the Iraqis didn't know who the insurgents were because they always wore masks. "It's dangerous to cooperate, because you don't know if it's your neighbor behind that mask," said Meyers.
The unit worked most often with Marines of the 2nd Marine Regimental Combat Team, but an Iraqi platoon operated with each paratrooper company. All the soldiers said the Iraqi troops were fearless. "They would charge into anywhere," Peterson said. "They couldn't wait to go on patrol with us. They wanted to do the work of security for this country."
He said that off patrol, the Iraqis mingled with the paratroopers and cooked local food and brewed chai for them. "You realize they are like us, just from a different culture and part of the world," Peterson said.
The paratroopers said they believe they accomplished a lot in their short deployment. They believe they made the areas safe enough to encourage people to vote. "When you come down to it, the Iraqis are just like us. All they want is to be left alone to raise their families to be better off than they are," Peterson said.
The soldiers also felt they were protecting Americans. "The whole reason we want to do this every day is so (Americans) feel safe, so when you turn on the lights they work and you can drink the water and you can sleep peacefully every night," Lehmann said.
As the deployment winds down - most of the paratroopers leave Iraq shortly - they have assessed their performance. Peterson said his soldiers have been extremely professional and done all that was asked of them and more. "They have grown up more in the last four months than their peers have in four years," he said.
Ryle said he is proud about the way the mission is going in Iraq. "I am taking away from here experiences that will help me grow as a soldier and an individual," he said. "I'm going to share some of the good times with my family - leave a few things out, too. I'm just going to tell them I'm proud to be doing what I'm doing. And when the time comes for me to come back over here, well, I'll do it again with no regrets."

LETTER: Will citizens survive the next four years?
To the Editor:
Are most citizens of North Carolina going to survive four years of governing by the Republicans?
Probably, but will they be happy with their assault on workers, seniors and the poor? I doubt it.
The whole state government is under their control. Their first move was to cut employment benefits. The reasoning, of course, was the $2.5 billion owed to the federal government for money loaned to fund the unemployment benefits.
The money would have been in the fund if previous legislative bodies hadn't cut the tax on the corporations when the fund total was what was considered sufficient and this depression hadn't been so severe.
The payback was put on the backs of workers even though they were victims of the Bush administration's mismanagement.
By cutting the maximum benefits back to $350 from $550 and cutting the number of weeks, they made sure that the workers would have to bear most of the burden of payback.
The governor's next project seems to be doing away with income tax for individuals and businesses by adding a consumption tax. Good luck to them if they get that through. It would be one the most regressive tax hike in my lifetime.
I have one complaint about chambers of commerce. If the American economy is fueled by 70 percent consumption, why do they always support Republicans?
I have always heard the organization described as the "biggest union of businesses against workers."
For the retail stores and the factories, the workers are their customers, and without that demand, they wouldn't be in business.
Example: When Henry Ford started building the model-T Ford, his workers wanted to organize without the labor laws now in force. His solution was to send a bunch of thugs to beat up some of the workers.
His wife was having no part of his solution. She told Henry: "You want everybody to make enough money so they can buy your auto." She prevailed. That was the beginning of the United Auto Workers Union.

I've been programming since I started learning VB when I was 11. After a few years, I moved on and began learning C#, which is now my 'home language'. I also have a basic knowledge of Java and Python. C/C++ is a language that I rarely use, and I only know a few core concepts about programming with it.
I am extremely interested in compiler and operating system design. I have often written miniature or esoteric programming languages for fun. I have experimented with operating system design, but have found or been able to complete very few tutorials, and do not have much success in that area.

I have a main form Form1, and a secondary one, LogForm. When LogForm first appears, it should have its upper left corner touching Form1's upper right. I can do that part. However, I would also like it if I could have LogForm stay touching Form1 if I move Form1 (ie, dragging Form1 drags LogForm with it). Any ideas how to do that? Edit: I'm very new to mouse events, so if that's involved, please explain thoroughly.

Cold weather warms hunter's heart
The single, clear, bead of moisture is precariously clinging to the underside of my nose, and I am wondering if it will freeze in place.
I wait. My breathing is slowed and for a moment of time that is personal and purely me, I hope it becomes solid.
Something rustles in the leaves nearby, and when something rustles in the leaves nearby the hunting instinct in me compels my head to turn left, and in doing so the droplet of moisture releases and falls somewhere below.
No ice formed beneath my nose. Still, the thought of it being cold enough to freeze on a Sunday in November was awesome.
For this writer, cold-weather hunting warms the heart.
And for this writer, the cold enhances and inspires. It all starts with breath. In and out, and the warmth generated inside becomes a visible vapor outside. On stand, 30 feet off the ground, I watch my breath fade in the breeze and am reminded of warmth. My hands are snug and tucked and tight, and when there is noise beyond, my palm grips hold of my bow and the cold air tightens and I feel the exposure and am reminded of the cold.
On a branch nearby, and on the ground below and beneath an oak tree further up the hill and in the creek bed behind me and on a felled log that is rotting by the wind and the sun and the toils, a rotting log endures, birds, squirrels, turkey, chipmunk and creatures of the woods are gathering, laboring, and being creatures of the woods. I admire. I watch. I wonder. I know the forecast. Do they?
They scurry. I stand. They climb and sing and sometimes the squirrel pauses to eat the acorn it found, and sometimes the turkey doesn't just scratch, it nibbles, and I am reminded of the cold.
I feel the breeze now. The droplet that nearly froze and the exposure of skin and the skin of my eyelids and the bridge of my nose feels the wind, too; I just feel it deeper inside now. It is felt beyond the layers and the thermal protection and this shell of a man that is weathered, and it is visceral and soulful and the breeze is intoxicating and it deadens the pain of the cold and insults likewise.
Though I cannot see this wind, I know it is unobstructed, and the naked, empty, desolate and mournful tree limbs and tree branches and the like are defenseless and perhaps they submit to the wind that blows from the north, and I am reminded of the cold.
The sun is down and the sky is clear, and the sky becomes steel-grey and dark and all that is around me is now silent. There is no more rustling. A bird flickers and a lingering squirrel is slow to the den, and I hear the turkey take flight to a branch above. I pause and find my breath slowing. All is still.
The cold dampens and the dryness of the air becomes silent now as the wind has abated. I settle into the darkness and inhale. It is dark and it is cold.
Before I move, I feel the effect of warm breath and the single element of condensation on my nose. I wait and hope and, still, the bead of moisture does not freeze. Again, I am reminded of the cold.
Enjoy your time outdoors.

Travel to Chajnantor — APEX and ALMA
APEX Chajnantor Site
II Región
Please note that visitors are received by appointment only.
Information for weekend visits is available here.
Media visitors please consult this page.
ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) is the major new facility for observations in the millimetre/submillimetre regime. ALMA is comprised of a giant array of 54 12-m and 12 7-m antennas. ALMA is at one of the highest observatory sites on Earth, at an elevation of 5,000 metres on the Chilean Chajnantor plateau. The ALMA project is a partnership between Europe, Japan and North America in cooperation with the Republic of Chile.
The Chajnantor plateau is also the site of APEX, the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment, a 12-metre diameter antenna observing the Universe at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths. APEX is a collaboration between the Max-Planck Institute for Radioastronomy (MPIfR), the Onsala Space Observatory (OSO), and the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The telescope is operated by ESO.
How to reach Chajnantor
If you arrive by own means, the ALMA Operations Support Facility (OSF), at 2900 meters above sea level, is located 40 driving minutes from San Pedro de Atacama. Note that transportation for the public visits is arranged (see here). The drive from the OSF to the Array Operations Site (AOS) and APEX, located at 5000 m altitude, takes about 50 minutes (~25 km). At the AOS are the antennas and the Correlator. Only ALMA certified vehicles and drives with an ALMA "driver's license" are allowed to get to the AOS. Children under 16 years are not allowed to go up.
Arriving by plane
Please note that airfares to and from Chile can get quite pricey when booking shorter than 3 months in advance. The closest airport to Chajnantor is the El Loa International Airport located in Calama, about 120 kilometres west of the observatory. There is no public transport to Chajnantor, so you will need to rent a car.
Arriving by car
There are several car rental companies available at the airport, including Alamo, Budget, Econorent or Hertz. The average daily cost of a car in Calama rises to CLP 65 000 (about EUR 100) and it takes about two and a half hours to drive to OSF from the airport. Important: Only certified ALMA drivers are allowed to drive to the ALMA Array Operations Site (AOS), on Chajnantor.
To drive from a different city, take the Panamerican Highway as far as the turn for route 25 to Calama. Pass the El Loa Airport, and take route 23 to San Pedro de Atacama. After San Pedro take the route to Toconao until you reach the ALMA/APEX main gate (before Toconao). It takes about four hours to reach APEX from the Panamerican Highway. Please be aware that the road from the ALMA/APEX main gate is private. Only authorised visits are allowed to enter.
Facilities at Chajnantor
The ALMA Operations Support Facility (OSF) is the base camp for the every-day, routine operation of the observatory. It is located at an altitude of about 2900 meters, quite high compared to standard living conditions, but still quite acceptable for scientific projects in astronomy of similar scope. At the OSF are the camp, cantina, antennas assembly sites, labs, control room, etc.
Accommodation and Food
Only astronomers, engineers and support staff have access to accommodation and food on site. Media visits are allowed on special request. For further information on media visits please check here. ESO staff and special visitors usually stay and eat at APEX Sequitor Base, ALMA OSF or at La Casa de Don Tomás in San Pedro de Atacama. Further information on restaurants in San Pedro de Atacama is available here.
Wi-Fi Internet connection is available at the ALMA OSF.
Cell-phone signal is typically good in San Pedro de Atacama and at ALMA OSF. The quality of the signal worsens at ALMA AOS.
Virtual tour
Experience ALMA and APEX with ESO's Virtual Tours.
Health & Safety
Weather and Clothing
At the OSF the days are generally warm, but the nights can be cold. At the AOS, at 5,000 m, it can be very cold with strong winds and one needs a ski parka or a down jacket, gloves, a hat with ear protection, and wind trousers. Sun glasses, hats and strong sun blocking cream are needed at the OSF and AOS. Here you can find climatic information about Calama and San Pedro de Atacama. Also find the current weather forecast for San Pedro de Atacama here.
High Altitude Health Issues
There are inherent risks in traveling at high altitude. The information below is designed for general information, and is not a substitute for specific training or experience and does not constitute medical advice. If you have any questions or concerns please consult to your doctor.
When visiting the APEX/ALMA observatory site, you should be prepared to recognize and respond to the symptoms of altitude illness caused by the lower level of oxygen available at high elevations. The human body can adjust to changes in altitude, by the process called acclimatization.
Symptoms of Altitude Illness
- Headache
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Dizziness
- Muscle aches
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Swelling of the face, hands and feet
Danger signs include severe headache, extreme fatigue or breathlessness (especially while resting), and any neurological problems such as stumbling, confusion, poor judgment or changes in consciousness. It is crucial to descend until symptoms begin to diminish if these signs are present.
Consult your health care provider or travel medicine specialist for specific recommendations about prevention and treatment.
If you are interested in reading more:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_sickness
- http://medex.org.uk//medex_book/A6%20Versions/TravelSafeHighv27A6.pdf
- Although it is no guarantee against problems at high altitude, having a generally good fitness may help you adapt.
- Avoid alcohol.
- Avoid any unnecessary medication (since their effects may be increased at high altitudes). Sleeping pills, tranquilizers and narcotic-based pain relievers, in particular, can cause serious problems at high altitudes because they can decrease breathing rate. Consult with your health care provider about any medications you plan to bring with you.
- Avoid smoking.
- Avoid being very active after you arrive, and get plenty of rest.
- Drink plenty of water.
Special Health and Safety advisory
A visit to ALMA or APEX at the AOS at 5000 metres altitude at the Chajnantor Plateau, has some significant safety, security and health constraints. Upon arrival at the OSF, the visitor will be given a safety talk explaining the rules and procedures that have to be duly respected. All AOS visitors are required to:
- Have slept at least one night in San Pedro de Atacama or Calama for acclimatization before they can go up to the AOS.
- Undergo a paramedic medical check-up (blood pressure, blood oxygen level) by the OSF paramedic. Those who do not pass the test will not be allowed to continue to the AOS. As described in the ALMA Safety Manual (14 Feb. 2012) individuals presenting the following characteristics may not ascend:
- Systolic blood pressure level greater than 160 or diastolic pressure greater than 100mm Hg. "Prophylactic" anti-hypertension treatment will not be administered.
- Heart rate greater than 95 beats per minute or lower than 45 beats per minute.
- A blood oxygen saturation level below 70%, or below 80% when showing symptoms of headaches, dyspnoea, tachycardia, blood pressure changes.
- Anyone with a blood pressure level less than that described above, but showing symptomatic indications.
- Any person in the camp or during the check-up who shows signs of altitude sickness (fatigue, dyspnoea, headaches, sleep disruption, tachycardia, palpitations).
- Patients with a history of AMI (acute myocardial infarction), without the authorization of an attending heart specialist. The authorization should expressly state that it is for an altitude level of about 5000 meters.
- Patients with a history of any form of cardiac insufficiency.
- Diabetic patients should be assessed via a hemogluco-test before ascending. Decompensated diabetic patients cannot ascend (a hemogluco test above 200 mg/dl).
- People travelling to the AOS must meet the requirements given in the ALMA Safety Manual (on p. 91-93 in the version of 14 Feb. 2012), which is the authoritative text and must be consulted for full details. In particular:
- External Visitors (defined as any person not in a contractual or working relationship with any of the executives or JAO, e.g. journalists) staying at AOS less than 2 hours: need to sign a waiver form before every visit (the paramedic medical check-up is also repeated if AOS is visited on multiple days). Media visitors or others visiting as part of a job assignment may wish to consult with their supervisor or Human Resources department before signing.
- External Visitors (defined as above) staying at AOS more than 2 hours: a certificate from an occupational physician, stating on the basis of a medical examination (generally referred to as the High Altitude Medical Examination, HAME), that the individual is fit to perform work at 5000 metres, is required (less than one year old). The relevant extract to show to the occupational physician is on page 93 of the ALMA Safety Manual. Media visitors or others visiting as part of a job assignment may wish to consult with their supervisor or Human Resources department.
- All Contractors (defined as any person in a contractual or working relationship with any of the ALMA executives or JAO, including so-called "free-lancers"):
- a statement is required from their Human Resources department which asserts that the person in question is covered by their work accident insurance to work at 5000 metres, or
- a certificate from an occupational physician, stating on the basis of a medical examination (generally referred to as the High Altitude Medical Examination, HAME), that the individual is fit to perform work at 5000 metres, is required and needs to be repeated every year (at least in part). The relevant extract to show to the occupational physician is on page 93 of the ALMA Safety Manual, or
- in the special case of free-lancers without work accident insurance, you may sign a waiver form although it is recommended that you also consult your physician.
- Members of staff of the ALMA executives or JAO: please consult your human resources department for full details, but in particular a certificate from an occupational physician, stating on the basis of a medical examination (generally referred to as the High Altitude Medical Examination, HAME), that the individual is fit to perform work at 5000 metres, is required and needs to be repeated every year (at least in part). The relevant extract to show to the occupational physician is on page 93 of the ALMA Safety Manual.
High Altitude Medical Exam (HAME)
ESO staff or Contractors must follow the rules given in the ALMA Safety Manual (on p. 91-93 in the version of 14 Feb. 2012). The relevant extract is on page 93 of the ALMA Safety Manual. The examination is generally referred to as the High Altitude Medical Exam (HAME), and needs to be repeated every year (at least in part).

You can't always believe what you hear—in Nicki Minaj raps, at least!
While speculation swirled whether the Young Money maven was endorsing the GOP's Mitt Romney—after rapping "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy bitches is f--king up the economy" on Lil Wayne's Dedication 4—President Barack Obama is happy to talk about his take on Minaj's lyrics.
Related Story: Nicki Minaj Raps: 'I'm Voting for Mitt Romney'
"I'm not sure that's actually what happened," Obama told Power 95.3's Obie and Lil' Shawn during a radio appearance. "I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that, but she likes to play different characters. So I don't know what's going on there."
Not that "Starships" or any other Nicki hits are necessarily blasting in the Oval Office or in his daughters' rooms at the presidential residence.
"I don't think they really listen to Nicki Minaj that much," the POTUS explained about daughters Malia and Sasha. "But let's face it, they are now hipper than me. There's a certain point where your kids get old enough where they're just hipper than you are."
The (possible) future American Idol judge cheerfully took to Twitter after hearing Obama's comments in true Nicki fashion:
"Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do... *sends love & support* @BarackObama," Minaj tweeted. " Awesome! Now I can tell my grandchildren that the 1st black President of the United States took the time to address a Nicki Minaj question"
Oh and for anyone who doubted her loyalty? Minaj has a message for you too: "Thanks haters! Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo. #BarbzWinAgain ahahhahaahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In that rarest of Washington events, a surprise choice, President Obama will nominate Dartmouth College President Jim Yong Kim to head up the World Bank. After confirming that there is, in fact, a Jim Yong Kim and this is not Larry Summers in disguise ("Barry Mummers" would have been too on the nose), I looked into Kim's credentials.
The Korean-born Kim is a physician by training and a prominent figure in global health and development circles. Officials believe his experience will help counter criticism from developing countries that have grown weary of the U.S. stranglehold on the World Bank presidency.
Obama took a strong personal interest in filling the World Bank vacancy after current president Robert Zoellick announced in February he was stepping down. Obama and his advisers considered more than a dozen candidates, including well-known figures in the administration. But in the end, officials said, Obama pushed for a nominee with broad development experience and was particularly drawn to Kim's innovative work fighting the spread of AIDS and tuberculosis.
Hillary Clinton will appear at the White House Rose Garden announcement, and according to AP she recommended Kim for the job, along with her husband.
This looks like a fine choice, outside of the not-Larry-Summers aspects of it. Kim has the proper set of experiences for the position – he's been an executive manager and he has a strong background in global development and health, which is at least supposed to be the role of the World Bank. Jeffrey Sachs' entire rationale for his candidacy was that you need a strong leader in global development, and Kim has those qualities. Being Korean-born should help mollify the global desire to have a non-American in the position. The World Bank executive board still has to vote on the nomination, and they will have other potential nominees, including Colombia's Jose Antonio Ocampo, and Nigerian finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. But given that the US is the World Bank's largest funder, I'd guess that Kim has the inside track. Here's a profile of Kim from when he took the Presidency of Dartmouth in 2009.
This could have worked out a whole lot worse. Summers would have been a disaster, and the global outcry against his candidacy probably did the trick as far as that went. The Administration could have picked a bigger name with less real-world skills relevant to the job, but instead they appear to have filled it with the best choice on a number of levels.
Good work from the Administration on this one.
And I expect the conservative "he picked Kim Jong-il to run the World Bank" jokes any minute now.
…I may have to rethink this, considering how much Fred Hiatt likes him.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Season 9, Episode 6 Sneak Peek: Cristina Is "Worse Than Medusa"
Tonight's episode (Season 9, Episode 6: "Second Opinion") of Grey's Anatomy means the return of Cristina (Sandra Oh) to the competitive hallways of Seattle Grace-Mercy West. It also means her first formal introduction to the new interns (throwing a vase at them doesn't count).
The Hollywood Reporter posted a clip in which Cristina gets to know interns Heather (Tina Majorino) and Shane (Gaius Charles), or as she likes to call them, Happy and Mousey. Correction: Dopey and Mousey. The robot surgeon is back to her old ways, but this time she has moved from numbered nicknames to dwarf nicknames … and we love it, even though the interns think she's "worse than Medusa." They have no idea.
You can watch the video here!
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, November 15 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Between texting and tweeting, technology is handing the political campaigns of 2012 a range of new ways to raise money and reach voters.
But unlike the 2008 presidential election, which first saw the explosive growth of Facebook and the emergence of Twitter, 2012 promises to be marked less by game-changing technology than by mor- advanced ways of using those tools, a panel of political and tech experts said on Tuesday at an event sponsored by Broadband Breakfast.
"This time, we have nothing [new] quite like Twitter or Facebook like last election," said Stephen Greer, a former Obama 2008 campaign staffer and current partner with the communications firm OMP, which contracts with many advocacy groups and super PACs. Instead, he said, the digital side of political campaigns is maturing and will be conducted on a more professional scale.
Spending on online advertising is expected to reach new heights -- as much as 25 percent of campaign ad spending, Greer predicted -- but many of the potentially most potent new tools remain untested.
Both President Obama and presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney's campaigns are seeking to amass and harness troves of data to better target voters and donors.
But in many cases, it's often not worth it to spend time and effort tailoring messages to individual donors, especially when more-traditional methods like e-mail remain more effective, said Ryan Meerstein, a senior political analyst for Targeted Victory, which works with the Romney campaign.
"The bottom line is that 90 percent of the money is going to be raised through e-mail and search advertising," he said. For fundraising, at least, Meerstein said he doesn't see any new technology soon supplanting e-mail as the dominant tool.
And Greer agreed. "E-mail remains the story in online fundraising," he said.
The presidential campaigns have their eyes on practically every new digital tool, from a service announced on Tuesday to allow people to donate over Twitter to a recent Federal Election Commission decision to allow donations by text message, which could open doors to new donor populations such as Hispanics.
Meerstein said that mobile features such as Facebook have seen success, but there are many lingering unanswered questions about fundraising from mobile devices. "Mobile's definitely still a tough nut to crack," he said.
Advertising so far this election season has been largely aimed at raising money or gathering voter information. But Greer said that the campaigns will soon shift to more "persuasive" advertising aimed at winning support.
Unlike financial appeals, which campaigns have found can be relatively broadly tailored, ads aimed at inspiring people to volunteer or to get out to vote can be more effective if narrowly targeted, Greer said.
That's where people like Jamie Smolski come in. As a member of Facebook's U.S. Government and Politics team, Smolski focuses on helping Republican candidates use the social network. Other Facebook employees assist Democratic candidates.
She said that, in theory, if all the fans Obama has on Facebook shared campaign information with their friends, the president could reach more people than who voted in recent elections.
"What matters is engagement," she said at Tuesday's panel discussion. If anything, she said, the developments in targeted ads and other content should be a boon to social-media users who will see things that they care about.

Motorists face severe delays on M11 near Duxford after multi-vehicle crash
Posted: March 14, 2014|
Motorists are facing severe traffic on the M11 between Saffron Walden and Duxford this afternoon after a three-vehicle collision.
A lane has been closed on the northbound carriage of the motorway after two cars and a lorry collided after 2pm.
There is very slow traffic between junction 9 for the A11, Saffron Walden, and junction 10 for the A505, Duxford.
Two ambulances are on the scene after being called just after 2.30pm.
A woman in her 30s has suffered a foot injury and is currently being treated.
The incident is now being dealt with by Highways after police attended the scene earlier on.

I am running the math program called Math Squared Learning System in my Davis home as a supplement to elementary school math for my 2nd grade daughter. The program has been running in the Bay Area for 8 years but was unavailable in Davis. In the Bay Area, the majority of Math Squared students took placement tests and moved directly into Algebra courses upon entering 7th grade. It is also common to see Math Squared students achieving full scores in STAR testing. To make the program available for her, I went through the certification process and licensed with them.
It is a myth to believe that your children are not meant to be good in math. Seeing their children struggling with elementary math, many parents simply believe that math is probably not the strength of their kids. As a parent, I know that persistently providing math supplement to my older daughter who is now a high school junior, has made a big difference for her math.
After some search and comparison with another program in the Bay Area, I decided to go for the program designed by Math Squared Education. My 2nd grader enjoys this program a lot and it's not boring for her at all. As opposed to the repetitive daily computation drills, this program teaches children to think for themselves. It imbeds arithmetic practices in fun-to-solve problems and teaches children to observe, focus, and be patient. It encourages them to use logical thinking to come up with their own solutions. The program is designed to prepare children for smooth transition into the more advanced Algebra and Geometry (high school math) in 4-5 years. My daughter really likes it and on every Saturday morning she could not wait till the afternoon to get her hands on the workbook again.
Lydia Lee
Director of Davis Math Squared
I would like to share my older daughter's experience with you. She now excels in math in the high school.
When she was in 2nd grade, her school teacher was very frustrated with her math quiz results. We were alerted about her progress in math. Since we were alerted, we started supplementing her with the only math program that was available at that time. We are grateful that her math problem was addressed early enough that the situation was totally reversed. Now as a junior in high school, she helps tutoring seniors to learn Calculus.
It was not an easy task to keep my older daughter on the traditional math program for so long. The program was boring but that was the only program that was available at that time. Yes, there were power struggles but she now thanks us for insisting on supplementing her.
For my younger daughter, we are glad that we found this motivating program. I wish I had started my search 2 years earlier and gave her a head start. The program is designed so fun that it captures a child's interest from a very young age.

Children's Author / Poet
All of Davey's classmates are dying to help him. "Let me open that." "Do you want to hold my hand?" But Davey has one answer for everybody, "Thanks, but no thanks."
Davey is blind—and perfectly capable of doing everything on his own. His well-meaning friends stop offering help when they see how able Davey is. They respect his self-reliance—until he tries to play kickball. On the playground, it all starts to fall apart. Soon, no one wants Davey on his team.
Working together, the children figure out a way to offer help that respects Davey's unique abilities and his desire for independence.
My first children's picture book, Keep Your Ear on the Ball, is based on a true story and carries an important lesson for life.
Interdependence can be just as important and just as rewarding as independence.

New York City has long been known as the mecca of basketball.
Demitra Apergis has great appreciation for the intense battles wages on the courts in New York City, and soon, the Columbine senior will be right in the thick of its bright lights.
Apergis signed a national letter of intent with the New York Institute of Technology on Nov. 13 at Columbine High School. Apergis will attend the school on a basketball scholarship, and to say she's looking forward to college is an understatement.
LAKEWOOD — Aaron Torres has enough eye-black strips on his face to block out the sun at high noon in Phoenix.
Considering those patches have Danny Spond's name on it and the injured Columbine quarterback's favorite Bible verse, Torres' face is kind of like a living shrine for the senior he replaced in Week Seven
"To come off the field having Danny tell me what I did wrong, it's good," Torres said.
PARKER - The Columbine Rebels are headed to the Class 5A state football quarterfinals after a 21-13 victory over Chaparral on Nov. 14 at Burt.com Stadium.
Thanks to its dominance in Jefferson County and some strong non-conference wins, the Chatfield volleyball team was rewarded for its strong play by hosting one of four Class 5A regional tournaments on Nov. 7.
After a long day of volleyball, Chatfield's opportunity to reach the 5A state tournament hinged on its final match of the day against Doherty.
The Chargers (21-5) put forth a good effort but the height of the Spartans proved too much as Doherty earned the region's second state tournament berth with a 30-28, 25-13, 25-22 victory.
LAKEWOOD — The Chatfield Chargers did all the work needed to garner a top-three ranking during the season, and a No. 9 seeding in the Class 5A state football tournament.
They handled Ponderosa, pounded Bear Creek and knocked off Columbine to finish the regular season 6-3 in a very tough Big 8 League. But the loss of quarterback Sam Stratton (knee) proved to be a shot directly to the heart and soul of a team that showed that with all its guns loaded, it was one of the best in the state.
FORT COLLINS — Austin Appel clutched his knees, gasped in the sun and spit the remnants of the stuff in his mouth that had recently crept up the old food pipe.
So with that vivid of a picture, it's no surprise the Dakota Ridge junior didn't mince words when asked to describe his 14th-place finish Nov. 7 at the Class 5A state cross-country championships at Fossil Ridge High School.
"It was one of my worst races of the season," Appel said. "I don't know … I've been sick for a while, but I felt even worse today."
LITTLETON — Sometimes, you just have to tip your cap to your opponent and say 'job well done.'
Dakota Ridge was trounced by Heritage 56-24 in its final game of the 2009 season on Nov. 7 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium, but it wasn't for a lack of effort.
Dakota Ridge tried everything it could to slow down Heritage wide receiver, Shane Opitz, but the 6-foot-2, 181-pounder was just too big and too fast.
Columbine coach Brian Todd has been around soccer long enough to appreciate the bigger picture.
So when the 22nd-seeded Rebels saw their season come to a rude end Oct. 31 in a 4-0 loss to No. 11 Arapahoe, Todd and many of the players took comfort knowing they had experienced something that will only make a young team better.
The Rebels took one on the chin, but now they at least know what kind of punch they must develop a year from now.
"We definitely quit, so to speak," Todd said. "We were pretty flat for who we are."
AURORA — One player and a controversial call in the last 15 seconds of the game helped end what was a promising season for the Chatfield Chargers as they fell 2-1 to the Rangeview Raiders in the first round of the Class 5A state soccer tournament.
Davey Anderson scored both goals for the No. 16-seeded Raiders, but it was the last 15 seconds of the match that had the No. 17-seeded Chargers hot as they left the field.
LAKEWOOD — One of the most overused phrases in sports just happens to fit the Columbine Rebels to a T.
It's playoff time. And that means it's a whole new season.
For a team that began the season ranked No. 2 in Class 5A, only to get upset by arch rival Chatfield and then lose standout do-everything senior Danny Spond (concussion) amidst a meltdown to secondary rival Bear Creek, the Rebels are hoping to forget the past and salvage something this week.
