What Does Camp Do for Kids? Chapter 5
The purpose of this study has been to identify any influence that might be made by the organized camping experience on the self constructs of youth. To answer this question a random effects model of meta-analysis was employed. The meta-analysis reviewed as many studies as could be located that contained some measure of the referenced influence. A coding process extracted data from the studies in order to calculate an effect size for each independent case. Data that could be used to establish the influence of moderators on the identified effect was also extracted. The reliability of the coding process was verified using a panel of coders and was reviewed by a separate panel of experts.
The effect sizes from each case were combined and a random effect was calculated according to The Handbook of Research Synthesis (Cooper & Hedges, 1994). Additionally, the effect sizes from the independent cases were analyzed in relationship to the moderator variables using line plots of the data-points, step-wise regression analysis, and effect size combination and comparison sensitivity analysis. The multiple analysis provided for a triangulation approach to identifying those moderators that were correlated to the random effect.
Using Pearson's r as the metric for effect size, a small but significant positive random effect was identified, r = .1032. The random effect, by definition, is generalizable to the population. Triangulation identified a camp's philosophy as it relates to enhancing a construct of self as being the significant contributing moderating factor for the effect identified. A sensitivity analysis of effect sizes for only those camps classified as having a focus on self enhancement found that the effect doubled, from r = .1032 to r = .2006, indicating a truer measure of the effect that programs focused on enhancing a construct of self can offer. The BESD interpretation of the effect of self enhancing camps translates to a 20 percent increase in the success rate. See Interpreting of the Random Effect, in Chapter 4, for a discussion of the BESD.
Triangulation also identified age as being a moderating factor to a lesser extent. The relationship between the random effect and age is negatively correlated (t = -2.2925, p < .028), implying that there is a greater effect on younger campers. Through the data analyzed in this study, some of the largest effects identified from individual cases (r = .2985, .3836, .4177, & .5822) were on campers aged six to ten, at camps that focused on enhancing a construct of self. The triangulation analysis also identified that there was positive change across all age groups that participated in a camp program with a focus on enhancing self constructs.
All of the negative effects from individual cases (seven studies ranging from r = -.1454 to -.0004), and many of the non-significant positive ones, were found in camps where the philosophy was on structured learning and the resultant competence development. In the classification of campgoal 3, those camps with a focus on personal enhancement and leisure skills, a positive but non-significant effect was found. One exception of this finding was a campgoal 3 camp with what can be interpreted as a medium sized positive effect (r = .4177). This camp 's philosophy, as presented in the study from which the data was extracted, was very leisure oriented. The description sounded as if the camp could have a philosophy of self fulfillment, but the goal stated in the data was to enjoy camp and have fun.
The findings of the meta-analysis are generally in agreement with the information presented in the literature review. A significant positive effect on the self can be made by programs that are designed with the intent of enhancing self constructs. The self can be impacted more significantly at an earlier age, and a positive change in self is generally occurring through adolescence. The study's findings differ from current psychological theory, discussed in the literature review, that suggests a sustained experience is required to influence self constructs. The difference is that a camp program with some focus on enhancing self constructs produces a positive effect on the self in a relatively short period of from one to eight weeks.
The findings of this study lead to several conclusions. First of all, the organized camping experience has a positive effect on the self constructs of youth. The effect is a function of those camps that focus on making a contribution to self through their programs. Camps that did not have this focus on construct enhancement generally did not make a positive contribution considered to be of any magnitude, r < .05, to a construct of self. Those camps that focus on competence development in a structured environment without a focus on enhancing the self, do not make contributions to constructs of self, and the effect may even be negative. Thus, if enhancement of a construct of self is desired, the camp program must focus attention on that goal in order to have a positive effect. Discussion about focusing a camp's program in order to promote self enhancement is presented in the Implementations section of this chapter.
The findings also reveal that a bigger effect is made upon campers that are younger, although a positive effect was found across campers between ages six and twenty years old. One conclusion from this finding is that camps can benefit from making parents aware of this opportunity for self enhancement so that the parents can provide the experience for the child, if desired. A second conclusion is that while the effect was larger for younger campers, the identification of the effect as applicable to all age ranges provides camping practitioners with the opportunity to promote this effect as a positive outcome that can be experienced by all campers.
Finally, the finding that the effect can be made in a relatively short period of time suggests that the camping experience provides a powerful means of achieving enhancement of self constructs. Therefore, there are opportunities for parents and communities to include camping experiences in the portfolio of methods used to address youth development needs, as they relate to the self. Identifying other outcomes from camping stands to enhance this opportunity to meet youth development needs.
One of the advantages of a meta-analysis, as discussed in the literature review, is that it can identify those factors that contribute to an effect. This identification often provides the advantage of shedding new light on an area of research. In the case of this analysis, the findings shed light on the usefulness of camping in addressing youth development needs through a positive influence on self constructs. Earlier discussion pointed out that the education system is not well equipped to address youth development needs and that the state of youth development in American society today is undesirable. Consequently, communities can use the findings of this study to identify the benefits of including camps as partners in strategies designed to meet youth development needs.
Research discussed in the literature review suggests that a set of socially desirable outcomes results from enhancement of one's self constructs. These outcomes include easier adjustment to new environments, a greater sense of personal satisfaction, and personal habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle. Identifying the camping experience as a means of enhancing self constructs indicates the camp environment as one that parents and communities should include in strategies that are designed to meet youth development needs. The argument for including camps is made stronger through the identification of the positive effect as being applicable across the broad age range of from six to twenty years old. Including camps in these youth development strategies is further strengthened through the power of the camping experience to generate this effect over a relatively short period of time, ranging from one to eight weeks as opposed to several months or longer.
The greater positive effect that younger campers experience suggests that parents should expose children to camping at or near the age of six years old. The identified development needs of children and early-adolescents suggest that a positive self image is desirable. Thus, beginning to establish this positive self image at an earlier age would give an individual a stronger personal foundation. In turn, this foundation would allow the individual to adjust more easily to changes in their personal environment and consequently increase the likelihood of subscribing to healthy living habits through the difficult period of adolescent development.
Camps that offer programs to youth that do not have a focus on enhancing self probably offer beneficial outcomes, although the outcomes have not yet been substantiated through research. These camps can enhance their program outcomes by adopting operational philosophies that address self development. The components of these self development programs are discussed later in the Implementations section of this chapter. Camps which add the focus of self enhancement are then in a better position to participate in community strategies that are designed to address youth development needs.
These findings can be used by camp practitioners where the camp's philosophy focuses on enhancing self constructs. The positive findings of this study can be used by the camping profession to generate support from philanthropic and other funding organizations. Camping practitioners can also use the findings to promote, to parents, the positive effects of camp programs focused on self enhancement. By emphasizing the greater positive effect for younger campers, camping practitioners can encourage parents to introduce children to camping at an age where the child will get the maximum positive effect from the experience. In light of the conditions identified in the literature review, the social desirability of self enhancement and the identified development needs of youth, the findings can be useful to parents that are interested in enhancing a youth's self constructs.
There are common factors that can be identified in the programs of camps that have a focus on enhancing a construct of self. These factors can be adopted by camps that do not have such a focus in their program philosophies. The self enhancing camps provide an environment that is reinforcing to a camper's sense of self. The reinforcement occurs through positive feedback about a given experience and the general attitude that supports the camper's individual identity. This environment of positive interaction is established either by hiring staff with experience or training in development of self constructs, or by developing this sensitivity during the camp's staff training program.
Camps that enhance self also provide an environment in which the camper feels some sense of control over their experience. This control is accomplished by involving campers to some extent in the planning or management of their camp experience. The involvement can be as simple as asking the camper for feedback or input and by responding in a way that demonstrates that the exchange was heeded. To summarize, camps wishing to expand the focus of their program philosophy to include enhancement of self constructs should establish an environment that reinforces the self through positive interactions with others, provides opportunities to achieve success, and an environment that provides for a sense of involvement, or ownership, in the camper's experience.
This meta-analysis covered the research that has been done in the area of organized camping and self constructs. Further research in the area of camping outcomes should continue. Having identified a positive effect on self, more research to explore the moderating variables of this influence needs to be done in order to fully explain the positive effect. Attaining this knowledge will allow practitioners to tune their programs in order to achieve a maximum effect in relation to the desired outcome. In addition, the other outcomes associated with an organized camping experience have yet to be established.
A recommendation is made for future research designed to explore both the other outcomes of organized camping and the moderators influencing the effect on the findings of this study. The basis for this recommendation is twofold. First, through the course of the meta-analysis it became clear that there was not enough data on gender, socio-economic level, or cultural background to identify fully the moderating effects of these variables on the self. Additionally, across studies there was little attention paid to the detail given in describing a camp's philosophy, staffing practices, the relationship between the size of a camp's population, or description of the experience that the camper was undergoing. Greater detail about the components of these moderators should also be included in future research. With regard to the recommendation of other outcomes of camping, there is limited research that explores those areas. The application of the lessons learned during the course of this meta-analysis, about the shortcomings of the data as they relate to identifying moderators to the effect, can be used to assist in the design of research that is focused on other outcomes.
Questions that still need to be explored in greater detail include those that relate to the length of time that the identified positive effect on self will last. This question may be difficult to answer, given the number of variables that are introduced into the equation once a youth leaves the camp environment. The relationship between the length of the camp experience and the size of the positive effect should also be explored more thoroughly. Due to the number of cases in the sample of this study, the relationship between length and effect size could not be explored with any certainty.
Questions about the use of instruments used to measure the effect and the most effective timing for measurements should also be explored. Current theory about the multi-dimensional aspects of self, discussed in the literature review, would suggest that the chosen instrument be designed to investigate the self from a multi-dimensional perspective. Finally, any research on self should be guided by the most current psychological theories on the self. There is a plethora of research into influences on the self, and many of the influences from outside the camp environment may be readily identifiable. Identifying these outside influences would allow for the isolation of the influences that occur within the camping environment, providing a better understanding of the factors that contribute to the positive random effect identified in this study as being a result of an organized camping experience.
The researcher also recommends that the findings of the study be disseminated as widely as is possible, so that camping practitioners can have access to the information for support of there efforts. Dissemination of the results to the public will aid parents in decision making as they gather information in order to select a camp for a specific purpose.
The recommended research task is far from easy, as camps are as individual as the people that operate them. Furthermore, positive effect on the self is only one outcome identified from an organized camping experience. The perception of parents and camping professionals, as identified through the ACA research described in the literature review, suggests that there are many more outcomes to be defined. In a time when enhancement of self constructs is considered culturally desirable and society recognizes that it needs more focus on meeting the development needs of youth, the positive effect on self from camps with a focus on enhancing self suggests that camping may be a useful tool in addressing childhood and adolescent development needs.

Roguelike top-down shooter Teleglitch was originally released a beta demo and is now available as an at-home murder simulation in an upgraded Die More edition. Like many other roguelikes, Teleglitch features a randomly generated world. Unlike other roguelikes this is an action game inspired by Doom and Quake where you shoot monsters for funsies. I'm not sure what the end-goal is here, maybe a shotgun of yendor?

After a seemingly infinite beta test, Valve's MOBA, DOTA 2 was released for Windows recently and now we've got our Linux version. DOTA 2, and MOBAs in general, are a spin-off of the real time strategy genre, in which two teams of five heroes compete to destroy the opposing team's base.
DOTA 2 is actually super competitive and I've found it to be hugely unfriendly to new players so you might want to play some bot matches before going online. There are some really good guides out there as well, one which was recommended to me after getting my ass kicked recently was Purge Gamers' "Welcome to Dota, you Suck."

Gnome.org interviewed Ethan "flibitijibibo" Lee about his upcoming keynote speech at the gnome conference, GUADEC:
There seems to be a lot of interest in gaming on Linux at the moment. Why do you think that is?
The surge in Linux gaming honestly looks like the second year of a major console, where all the games suddenly start pouring in and there's finally a reason to buy the darned thing. Except, instead of 2 years, it was more like 20. Hopefully it won't be another 10 years to get to year 3 when the console starts to live a bit more comfortably, but we'll see.
There are definitely other factors to consider in there (Windows 8, perpetual closedness of current console platforms, etc.), but none of that would have really mattered if game devs didn't take that first step of making Linux versions of their games.
They also briefly mention that Ethan is working on a port of Fez to Linux, which is awesome.

Speaking of internet video game download shoppes, IndieCity is coming to Linux soon and the right honorable Liam Dowe of Gaming On Linux has interviewed IndieCity's Community Manager, Hannah Fordham:
What makes it different to similar services like Steam and Desura?
From the moment we started IndieCity we've always been set on having no gatekeepers, so any indie games could get onto IndieCity regardless of whether the staff here happened to enjoy them or not. We want to be a marketplace on which any indie developer with any amount of experience, budget, size of team, etc. can release their projects.
Developers can release their content as "in progress" with no approval system at all, or they can put it through to the store as "complete" by going through our Community Approval Process (CAP). CAP testers just check that the content is packaged correctly, that it runs and is stable during their testing, and that it matches whatever the store page for it says (this is especially important for content descriptors and age ratings so that people are aware of what they are buying).
Indie game download store, Desura, just got taken off the circuit by Linden Lab. They're the developer behind fursona simulator Second Life. Linden's press release makes it clear that they've acquired the team behind Desura, but what isn't clear yet is what this means for the future of the digital distribution platform. Thanks to GoL for the heads-up.
Here's the details:
SAN FRANCISCO – July 10, 2013 – Linden Lab, the makers of shared creative spaces including Second Life, Patterns, Creatorverse, Versu, and dio, today announced that it has acquired Desura, a digital distribution service for PC gamers. The service will continue uninterrupted for current customers and the team and technology become a part of Linden Lab.
Desura puts the best games, mods, and downloadable content from developers at gamers' fingertips, ready to buy and play. The free Desura application can serve and patch games, mods, and add-ons directly for customers around the world. Developers and publishers can share news, images, videos, and other content through their profiles, while every member of the Desura community can post comments, submit reviews, and upload screenshots from their own playing experiences. Desura also demystifies user-made mods and add-ons for games by making them as easy to find and install or update as professional titles.
"Desura's talented team, thriving business, and impressive technology are a great fit for Linden Lab," said Rod Humble, CEO of Linden Lab. "This acquisition gives us a global platform for serving creative developers of all kinds, and we're looking forward to growing both Desura's global community of gamers and its fantastic portfolio of thousands of games, mods, and other content. Our aim is to invest and support the Desura team in making it the most open and developer-friendly platform in the world."
Our long national nightmare has ended as Valve updated their Left 4 Dead blog with news of co-op Zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 2's general availability for Linux:
The Extended Mutation System, Linux support, and other features and fixes are moving to Left 4 Dead 2 proper. Thanks to everyone who helped test all the changes in the Beta Build. You can find a complete list of the change notes here.
The Linux conversion is ready for primetime so we are opening it up to more people and releasing it officially on Steam. This will let us get feedback on more builds and distros.
The game itself is available at 75% off this weekend ($4.99 'merican) , and you can play it for free until Sunday at 1PM Pacific time.

End Of Season Reports 2: Pakistan
April 18, 2012 | Matt H | 40/50-over, Opinion, Tests
Tests 5th, ODI 6th, T20 5th
Asia Cup – Won
England (H) – T20 Lost 2-1 (3), ODI Lost 4-0 (4), Tests Won 3-0 (3)
Bangladesh (A) – Tests Won 2-0 (2), ODI Won 3-0 (3), T20 Won 1-0 (1)
Sri Lanka (H) – ODI Won 4-1 (5), T20 Won 1-0 (1), Tests Won 1-0 (3)
It was a rather splendid winter for Pakistan; for all their troubles and controversies on and off the pitch for several years now, it is a good feeling to be able to focus on the cricket. Of course, in an ideal world all of their home series truly would be played at home rather than the distant stadia of the Emirates, but that at present looks unlikely, despite the confirmation (for now) that Bangladesh will tour later at the end of April.
The team played eight Tests over the winter and picked just 12 different players. This consistency paid off, with six players averaging at least 40.00 with the bat (Taufeeq Umar had the lowest average of the top six with 43.21) and three bowlers under 25.00 with the ball. As good as their batting has been, it was these bowlers that have contributed most effectively, with Umar Gul (32 wickets), Abdur Rehman (35) and Saeed Ajmal (51) taking enough wickets cheaply to maximise the side's chance of winning a Test. Although the ODI results suggest inconsistency, in truth the defeat to England was probably a blip after their scintillating Test whitewash; the thrashing of Sri Lanka and the recent Asia Cup success should really be seen as the norm for this team. It was again Ajmal who led the way with 33 wickets, supported by Shahid Afridi and the rest.
Under the relatively calm captaincy of Misbah-ul-Haq and the new coach Dav Whatmore, the priority for this team should be to continue to flourish in the short-term and maintain their steady selection policy; there should be some confidence heading to the World T20 in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile a successful home 'series' against Bangladesh later this month should not just be defined by a victory in both the T20 and the ODI, but also one devoid of controversy or bad news.

The Bangladesh court has basically told them they aren't allowed to go.

Riley Bunyan, Columbia City, throws a pitch in a softball game in May at Morsches Park.
Youth softball and baseball games are in full swing in the month of June.
Columbia City's boys track and field team named its award winners for the 2013 year.
Award winners from left, with their awards: Wyatt Larkey was named Most Valuable Thrower; Garrett Vandersaul won the Coaches' Award; Seth Kissinger won Most Improved Athlete; Evan Harney was named Most Valuable Runner and Most Valuable Participant; Mitchell Maloney was named Most Valuable Jumper and Andrew McFarland won Rookie of the Year.
BLOOMINGTON — Five Whitley County athletes competed in the Indiana State Track Meet last weekend.
Three tracksters were named all-state — Samantha Roush, Katie Monk and Austin McClure placed in the top nine.
Columbia City's Roush, who has finished 10th for the last two seasons, came in fifth in the 1,600-meter run Saturday.
"Sam ran as perfect of a race as she could," Columbia City Head Track Coach Bob Fahl said. "She was really determined to get a medal."
Fahl said she was able to take an inside lane and stay in the front of the pack througout the race.
WARSAW — "We got the hex off of Columbia City golf for the 10-year drought."
Those words from Columbia City Boys Golf Head Coach Andrew Thompson sum up what was an outstanding day, as the Eagles advanced to the regional round for the first time since 2003.
Columbia City came in third at the sectional at Stonehenge Country Club, five strokes behind the host-Tigers, who won with a score of 314. Triton was second, four strokes ahead of the Eagles' 319.
CHURUBUSCO — Churubusco will be represented by two throwers in the track and field state competition held in Bloomington today and Saturday.
Senior Katie Monk is competing in girls discus after advancing out of regionals with a throw of 128 feet, 6 inches.
Senior Austin McClure will return to the state meet after claiming the regional championship in shot put with a heave of 51 feet, 9 inches.
Tanner Daniel (left) and Cameron Deckard, Columbia City's senior golfers, played their last match at Eagle Glen Tuesday night.
FORT WAYNE — Churubusco's baseball team saw its season come to an end Tuesday.
The Eagles lost to Adams Central, 13-10, in a sectional semifinal contest at Indiana Tech.
A comeback by Churubusco fell just short. The Flyin' Jets had a 5-1 lead after three innings.
Four more runs from Adams Central in the fourth made it 9-1. Churubusco was equal to the Jets in the fourth frame by chipping in four as well to bring the margin to 9-5.
COLUMBIA CITY — It was a banner day for the Columbia City boys golf team.
The Eagles beat Central Noble, 150-186, at Eagle Glen Golf Course Tuesday, coming together for an impressive team effort.
Columbia City was led by medalist Spencer Klimek, who shot a 34, good for two-under par. Teammate Tyler Green was right at par with a 36.
All told, the five Eagle varsity golfers outscored the top Cougar golfer, as Max Dryer and Matt Benedict both had scores of 40 and Cameron Slavich was at 43. The top Central Noble golfer shot 44.
HUNTERTOWN — For the third year in a row, the Columbia City baseball team is sectional runner-up.
This year, the Eagles came closer to hoisting the sectional trophy than they have in either of the two previous years.
Columbia City lost to Carroll 6-3 Tuesday night in the sectional championship game.
It was the second game of the day for the Eagles, who earned their way into the finals after defeating Snider earlier that day 6-0 in the semifinals.
"To have a showing like we did in our sectional, you can't really ask for a whole lot more," said Columbia City Head Coach Zac Bireley.
DECATUR — Whitko's baseball team saw its season come to an end in its sectional opener against Eastbrook Friday.
The Wildcats fell by a final score of 12-7.
Whitko dug a hole and could not get out of it. The Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first inning and did not relinquish the advantage.
"Their leadoff guy reached on an error," Whitko Head Baseball Coach Erik Hisner said of the first inning. "That kind of set the tone for the game."

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Alex Rosenberg scored a game-high 18 points and pulled down six rebounds as the Columbia Lions claimed a 62-46 win over the Yale Bulldogs in an Ivy League contest at Levien Gym.
Also scoring in double figures for the Lions (17-10, 6-4 Ivy) were Steve Frankoski and Maodo Lo with 17 and 16 points, respectively, as they posted a third straight win.
The Bulldogs (14-10, 8-2), who had a seven-game win streak come to an end, were led by Armani Cotton with 15 points and Justin Sears 13, as both cleared eight rebounds in the setback.
Yale led by three points early in the first half, but the team made a total of just eight field goals in the period, en route to a 30-23 deficit at the break. The Lions were 52.4 percent accurate from the floor through the first 20 minutes.
Held to just eight field goals in the second half as well, the visitors were just 2-of-10 beyond the arc and 5-of-12 at the free-throw line, making it that much easier for Columbia to cruise to the 16-point home win.
In addition to turning the ball over 14 times, Yale also hurt itself with a mere 9-of-22 effort at the charity stripe on the afternoon.

Stila Jewel Eyeshadow Palette for Spring 2010 Review, Photos, Swatches
Beautiful, Glittering Eyes with Stila's Jewel Eyeshadow Palette
Stila Jewel Eyeshadow Palette ($32.00) is a mysteriously glittering, shimmering palette. When I saw the promotional images for the palette, I was definitely curious — who doesn't love some glitter? (OK, I know a few of you don't, but shh!)
I find myself at a loss as to how exactly to describe the texture and feel of these eyeshadows. They feel almost wet, but not really creamy and certainly not powdery. They apply fairly sheerly when used, though they can be layered for a slightly more intense look.
Since it has a bit of a creamy feel (but it's sooo not a cream shadow!), I patted the Golden Topaz shade all over my lid, just to see what kind of fall out we were looking for. I wasn't even concerned about staying power, because it wasn't over a base, so I expected it to crease. Well, it didn't. It didn't crease after just having patted it on my lid for over an hour. There was also very, very minimal fall out (like I saw three or four sparkles). Typically, I find myself having to strategically apply foundation over glittery bits and doing all sorts of tricks to make sure my undereye area isn't more sparkly than my eyelid.
- Golden Topaz is a soft peachy-brown with champagne shimmer/glitter.
- Amethyst is a medium dark purple with red undertones and soft golden glitter.
- Black Diamond is black with silver glitter.
- Rose Quartz is a light-medium rosy pink with silver glitter.
I was pleasantly surprised at Stila's newest palette for the spring season. I just wasn't expecting it to knock my socks off, and I admit I was totally expecting the glitter to fall everywhere. But you know what's REALLY awesome about this? It looked like my lids were wet. The color really does look like shimmering water. Gorgeous!
Now, I just hope they'll release another one of these, but with vibrant jewel-tones… say a deep blue, mermaid teal…

NPPA Regional Photographer of the Year
You may remember earlier in the year I wrote about being in first place in an annual contest (the National Press Photographers Association Annual Clip Contest) pitting me against other news photographers in Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon, Washington, and Oregon. While I was on vacation last week, the final month's clips were judged and I ended up in first place. Here is a list of the top 20 or so photographers and their point totals:
744 Don Seabrook/The Wenatchee World 614 Alan Berner/Seattle Times 570 Andrew Bronson/The Bellingham Herald 504 Eric Engman/The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner 482 Marc Lester/Anchorage Daily News 426 Erika Schultz/The Seattle Times 414 Robert Hallinen/Anchorage Daily News 344 Kai-Huei Yau/Tri-City Herald 274 John Wagner/Fairbanks Daily News-Miner 240 Mark Mulligan/The Daily Herald 236 Mark Malijan/Mark Malijan Photography 228 Paul Erickson/Tri-City Herald 224 Larry Steagall/Kitsap Sun 212 M Moon/Peninsula Clarion 210 Dan Bates/The Herald (Everett) 192 Lui Wong 184 Brandon Swanson/The Chronicle 174 Colin Mulvany/The Spokesman-Review 144 Erik Hill/Anchorage Daily News Jordan Stead/Western Washington University 134 Robert Brawdy/Tri-City Herald Meegan Reid/The Kitsap Sun
To me, this could be the most prestigious award I've ever received. It's especially encouraging because it is a year-long competition against all photographers independent of the size of circulation of their publications. Also, because all of the images that earned me points were taken within an hour's drive of Wenatchee.
Here are some of the images that earned me points in the later months last year.
I feel like I've truly been blessed to work in such a wonderful community and for a publication that supports good documentary photography.

ELIZABETHTON — When it comes to Christmas decorations, Roger Forbes doesn't do things in half measures. His light display, started "six or seven" years ago, has grown in scope and degree of difficulty with each passing holiday season. This year, he's added a live concert on Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Judy Pancoast.
Pancoast will perform at the Forbes' home, 708 Holston Ave. in Elizabethton, free of charge, but those who come to listen and look at the lights are asked to bring a donation for Make-A-Wish and Second Harvest Food Bank (a nonperishable food item).
Pancoast will be visiting Elizabethton as part of her third annual "The House on Christmas Street International Tour," in support of her new CD "Christmas with Mrs. Claus."
Concerts on the tour will be performed on the lawns and in the driveways of the decorating enthusiasts who use her music in their animated lighting displays.
Pancoast is best known for her four albums of original music for children and her family concerts. In 2011, she was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Children's Album for "Weird Things are Everywhere."
She's performed twice in concert at the request of President Bill Clinton. The organizers of the New York City fundraiser for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Family Street Fair have asked Pancoast to return year after year.
She has traveled twice to Nairobi to work with the children at the Nyumbani Orphanage in Kenya.
Pancoast's concert in Elizabethton will feature original songs from her two Christmas CDs as well as traditional favorites and sing-alongs.
After the concert, hot chocolate, candy canes and cookies for the kids will be served.
Forbes, creator of the "Forbes Family Christmas," has been working for weeks on his light display, which features more than 250,000 lights with 485 channels of computer controls set to music and broadcast on the Forbes Family Christmas Network at 106.7 FM.
"I've been in electronics all my life. I had a ham radio when I was 9 years old and retired after 40 years with Century Link," he said. The progression from Christmas decorations to Christmas extravaganza was a natural one.
"The first year I took a bunch of relays that switched lights on and off to music. The next year I went to automated control devices, then got into Light-O-Rama data control. Next thing you know you've got 250,000 lights and 2 miles of extension cords," he said. "It's Christmas with a capital C."
The current light display "is not automated," Forbes said, "it's all done by hand. For a three-minute song, it takes 16-24 hours to do. You have to tell every light when to come on and when to go off."
Songs include "Amazing Grace," "Jingle Bells," "Joy to the World" and "Walking in a Winter Wonderland."
Forbes also programs decidedly nontraditional songs like "Deep Space," just for the sake of doing them, he said.
The displays include "a great big, giant Santa Claus and a great big, giant mega tree," Forbes said.
Does wife Mary support him in his annual endeavor?
"She sent me down to Hathaway-Percy for measurements," he said and laughed. "No, she's worse into it than I am."
For more information, call Forbes at 957-4847.

JUST like the characters in her favourite TV show, posh Christina Saunders knows good sex. And so she should, after seducing 1,000 MEN.
The university-educated brunette longed to be as confident in bed as Sex And The City maneater Samantha.
So she set herself a 10-year challenge - to get a thousand notches on her bedpost.
She said: "Sam went from one man to the next and was proud of it. I wanted to be confident like her. I got hooked on the buzz of one-night-stands."
She slept with at least one stranger a week, travelled the world hunting for men to bed, and took part in threesomes.
But now Christina, 30, admits: "All I want is a man to love me - not one who just wants me for sex."Now the challenge is over Christina does have regrets. "Good friends stuck by me but others accused me of being a slut. I took things too far. Now all I want to do is settle down. I just hope I haven't put men off."

Wine Festival 2008: Breaking free of the cycle
Harley Postlewait was 13 years old when it all started.
She was dating, and soon found herself in an abusive relationship that lasted for several years.
"I went to a school counselor and I told her he was hitting me," she says. I didn't think she'd tell anyone, but she called the shelter."
Postlewait says she wouldn't have graduated from Palmetto Ridge High School without the help of that guidance counselor and workers at the Naples Shelter for Abused Women & Children.
She wouldn't even be alive, she says.
"The abuse got really bad. He started hitting me with objects," she explains. "My family wasn't helping me with it, so we decided that the shelter was the safest place for me. I believe that if it wasn't for the shelter, I'd be dead right now."
After talking with the counselor, Postlewait agreed to counseling at the shelter, but the abuse continued. Her parents, she says, didn't want her to go to the shelter. To them, the abuse wasn't severe enough to seek treatment.
But she was tired of getting hit, and she decided to end the torturous relationship.
So Postlewait went on her own, moved into the shelter and got a restraining order against her boyfriend.
"Leaving is the most dangerous time for women leaving an abusive relationship," she says. "The shelter served as a home and family for me."
The boyfriend, whose name the shelter won't release for liability reasons, was never arrested for abusing Postlewait.
Her boyfriend was abusive, but her parents were neglectful, leaving Postlewait with little help outside the shelter, says Nicole Muley, who works at the shelter and still sees Harley on a regular basis.
"It's tough because her father is out of the picture and the mom took off and then kind of came back around," Muley says. "So the funding for college is going to be limited. There are no scholarships for her."
Muley says Postlewait's situation is common at the shelter.
"It's a struggle for them to work, to go to school, to afford child care. When you're looking for someone to be self-sufficient, it's tough when there's no support system."
Now 18, Postlewait speaks at local high schools about abusive relationships: the warning signs and how to get help. She's living on her own now, and she hopes to enroll at Edison Community College this coming summer or fall.
She's hopeful she'll get into college and graduate, maybe from Stetson University in Deland, Fla. with a degree in psychology.

Stella Waugh's Thanksgiving will include a spread of pies and sweet potato casserole, a house filled with about 20 people, long walks with the dogs and a football game.
"I'm thankful that she's still here," said Knox Tate, her husband. In their living room Saturday, they recalled Stella's journey battling and overcoming endometrial cancer, which affects the tissue lining of the uterus.
Three years ago, Waugh, a 64-year-old UNC-Chapel Hill art history alum turned psychiatric social worker, visited her gynecologist, thinking something wasn't right. When she was referred to UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, she was diagnosed. A question immediately ran through her mind: Would she live to see her grandchildren grow up? Doctors said they'd do the best they could.
One of her best friends was diagnosed with ovarian cancer a few weeks before her, and ended up not making it.
"It was like getting on a train that is rushing through the station," Waugh said. "You hop on and you're on."
She spent Thanksgiving 2010 on the couch in front of the fire, just having come home from the hospital. She had just undergone a hysterectomy, a surgery that removed her uterus. Her friends brought over covered dishes for the entire family. She jokes now that it was nice having the spread without having to cook it.
Her stepson, Eli Tate, started medical school at UNC around the same time Waugh was diagnosed. He'd stop by her infusion room, where she was receiving treatment, still wearing his book bag. He provided reassurance at a time "when so little was reassuring," she said.
Eli Tate is now about to apply for a radiology residency. He said now that he's started a family of his own -- He and his wife have a 2-year-old and a 2-month-old -- the holidays are more meaningful in that they bring everyone together. He was in the Air Force from 1997 to 2007, spending four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of his holidays was spent in Iraq, when his care packages arrived late and he and his airmen set up the Christmas tree in February.
He said having someone in his family diagnosed with cancer while going through medical school was a scary time for him.
"It's just a huge waiting game," Eli Tate said. "Anyone who's had a friend or family member with cancer or had cancer, you've got to wait on a diagnosis, what is it, then you're waiting on scans or blood tests and then you're waiting on a prognosis, what does it all mean, and then you're waiting on treatment, then you're waiting on did the treatment do anything. You're just filling in that time. It's really challenging."
To help, Eli Tate, his wife and friends started a "Below the Belt" group that runs in the Tar Heel 10 Miler, to help raise money for gynecologic cancer research. In their first three years alone, they've raised $67,000, Tate said.
In 2011, Waugh received the "sandwich" treatment, when she switched from chemotherapy, to radiation, then back to chemo, for six months.
"I remember staying in the moment, but both thinking, 'This could be the last day of the rest of my life, what do I want it to be like? How do I want to be mindful of the moment while also thinking about how I want my life to be moving forward?' It's so easy to get life taken up with going to the dry-cleaners, and I don't think that's what I'd remember," Waugh said.
She finished her treatment and beat her cancer in July of 2011. She hiked in the Scottish Highlands to celebrate.
Now Waugh goes back to UNC every six months for check-ups, to make sure her cancer hasn't returned.
She said their big family on Thanksgiving day, which brings together nine grandchildren, ex-spouses who are now friends, and all of their children, is real. It's the American family.
"It just feels really wonderful to have everybody in one place and wanting to be part of it," Waugh said. "You just feel grateful for each day."

Australia has awarded BAE Systems a A$150m ($160m) contract extension for the support of its Hawk 127 advanced jet trainers.
The two-year extension covers maintenance, engineering and logistics support for the Royal Australian Air Force's 33 Hawks, two related training simulators and a computerised instruction system, said Jason Clare, minister for defence materiel.
"Through the strategic reform programme, the defence ministry has worked with BAE Systems to deliver savings in excess of 10% over the two-year extension period," said Clare.
The savings come from a revised maintenance strategy and overhaul programme improvements. BAE has supported the aircraft since they entered RAAF service in 2000.
Operating from the service's Williamtown and Pearce air bases, the Hawks provide lead-in training for future pilots of the Boeing F/A-18A Hornet and F/A-18F Super Hornet. BAE has 180 staff at Williamtown and 50 at Pearce.
"[The Hawk] is an important capability for the air force, training our future pilots to fly Hornets and eventually the [Lockheed Martin F-35] Joint Strike Fighter," said Clare. "It's important that the aircraft and the other training systems are well supported and maintained."

What are the signs of spine problems?
Spine symptoms are among the most common complaints of adult patients in the United States, especially with the onset of middle and advancing age. Most spine complaints have to do with pain that ranges from dull, constant aching to sudden shooting or sharp pains. Stiffness in any part of the spine is another common complaint. Pain and stiffness may worsen with inactivity, while some forms of pain increase with activity, depending on the disorder or injury.
Back Problems Spotlight
Other symptoms are related more to misalignment than to discomfort, as in a forward bending or side-to-side misalignment associated with some congenital or degenerative disorders. Spinal symptoms may come from disorders of the vertebrae, the discs between vertebrae, or may originate from compression of the nerves in or exiting the spinal cord. Spinal disorders may be genetic, degenerative (due to natural wear and tear), or caused by other primary bone disorders or, in rare cases, tumors.
The most common spine symptoms include back and neck pain with or without stiffness; hip pain or sciatica; muscle spasms or weakness; and shoulder, knee or ankle pain and swelling.
Most spine symptoms are not life threatening. However, seek immediate medical care (call 911) for serious symptoms of nerve compression, such as loss of sensation in the limbs or shoulders; a complete loss of balance; high fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit); or loss of bladder or bowel control, especially in combination with weakness in your legs. Also seek immediate care if you have pronounced weakness in the arms or legs, abnormal sensations in the limbs or shoulders, impaired balance and coordination, or weakness (loss of strength). Seek prompt medical care if you are being treated for a spinal condition but mild symptoms recur or are persistent. If your spine symptoms are persistent or cause you concern, seek prompt medical care.
What other symptoms might occur with spine symptoms?
Spine symptoms may accompany other symptoms that vary depending on the underlying disease, disorder or condition Symptoms that frequently affect the spine may also involve other body systems.... Read more about spine symptomssymptoms

Editor's Note: This article was originally featured in a previous edition of our Blog. It has been selected for reprint because of the ongoing relevance of the hardware units and their availability as UAD Powered Plug-Ins.
Q: What's going on under the hoods of the Roland choruses?
A: The BOSS CE-1 is a pedal that has chorus and vibrato modes; the Roland Dimension D is a rack-mount unit that provides four separate chorus settings. These choruses are built around an analog delay device called a "bucket-brigade delay" line or BBD, which adds a certain character to the Roland choruses. In this column, we will touch on the workings of chorus and vibrato processors, and then look at the BBD used by the CE-1 and Dimension D.
The idea behind a chorus processor is to create several copies of the input signal, as if there were more than one instrument or voice present. Typically, the output is the sum of the input and a delayed version of the input. The delay between the original and copy is slowly changed over time, and in this way, is perceived as a separate signal, independent of the input. Figure 1 illustrates this point. The image, when still, appears to consist of a single set of dots, but when animated, it is clear that there are two identical sets of dots, one offset from the other.
In the CE-1 in chorus mode, the wet output is delayed from about one-and-a-half milliseconds to about four milliseconds relative to the dry signal. This is actually a rather short delay for a chorus, which typically would use about ten times that delay. The perception that the wet and dry signals are independent is enhanced if characteristics in addition to the delay distinguish the two. In the CE-1, the wet signal has a slightly different equalization and level than the dry signal, and, as a result of the way the BBD goes about its processing, the level and equalization change as the delay between the wet and dry signals changes.
The Dimension-D functions in much the same way as the CE-1, but uses several copies of the input to form its wet output. It delays these copies through independent trajectories and applies separate scalings, all of which are determined by the Dimension mode. So as to help the BBDs operate in their sweet spot with respect to signal level, a compressor is applied to the input of the BBD and a complementary expander is applied to the BBD output.
If a signal is processed through a changing delay, its frequency is changed. This is the Doppler shift: If the delay is decreasing (as would happen if an object were moving toward you), each successive wave front gets a head start compared to the previous one, and wave fronts will arrive at a faster rate or increased frequency. If the delay is increasing, the opposite happens.
If the change in delay is sufficiently quick, a noticeable frequency shift will develop. In a vibrato processor, the input is run through a changing delay, creating a changing frequency shift. Whereas choruses often use triangular delay trajectories so that the motion of the delay is roughly constant, vibratos will use sinusoidal or similarly smooth trajectories so that the frequency motion is relatively constant.
In the CE-1, the vibrato mode imposes a roughly sinusoidal delay trajectory on the input, resulting in a similarly sinusoidal frequency trajectory. The Rate knob sets the period of the delay trajectory, and for a given rate, the Depth knob determines the maximum and minimum delays attained. It turns out that, for higher rate settings, the delay excursion is reduced so that for a given depth setting, the amount of frequency shift, or "detuning," is roughly constant.
In modeling the Dimension D and CE-1, we were very careful to match the delay trajectories as a function of the knob settings. We also studied the physics of the BBDs used, and consulted with our USC device physics professor friend (who helped us out in modeling the LA-2A photo resistor), to make sure our models were doing the BBD justice.
The BBDs work roughly as follows. There are even- and odd-numbered capacitors--the "buckets"--and a switching network controlled by two phases of a clock. What happens is that, on one phase of the clock, the switching network is configured so that the even-numbered buckets empty their charge into the odd-numbered buckets immediately to their right. On the next phase of the clock, the even-numbered buckets (now empty) are filled with charge from the odd-numbered buckets immediately to their left. In this way, charge, representing input signal level, is moved through the delay line and appears at the output delayed by the number of clock phases required to move the signal through all of the buckets. To generate a changing delay, the frequency of the driving clock is changed.
Note that the BBD is an analog system, but sampled in time. The charge put into the first bucket during a given clock period is a kind of average of the input signal level over that clock period. As a result, the charge in the buckets represents the signal level at a set of discrete times. So as to avoid time aliasing, the signal is lowpass-filtered before being sampled by the BBD, and is similarly lowpass-filtered to reconstruct the continuous-time output from the BBD output, which is more or less a staircase.
There are a number of physical effects to consider when modeling a BBD. It takes time to transfer charge from one bucket to the next, and even if, say, 99.9% of the charge is transferred, in a delay line with 1,024 stages, only 36% of the charge is left at the end of the delay line. The fact that a percentage of the charge is lost doesn't matter as much as the fact that the amount of charge lost depends on the delay through the BBD; a fast clock will give a short delay and will have a smaller percentage of charge survive to the output.
Another important effect is that charge can leak from the buckets to the substrate, held at a low voltage. For small signals, this leakage affects all parts of the waveform similarly and causes a negative DC bias that is eliminated via a highpass filter following the BBD. For large signals, the positive parts of the waveform decay to the substrate voltage quicker than the negative parts of the waveform do, and a kind of distortion develops.
Again, the effect depends on the delay through the BBD: Short delays affect the signal less than long delays.
Finally, perhaps as a result of some charge distribution during switching between clock phases, there is a subtle equalization that depends on the delay through the BBD. To summarize, to emulate the Roland CE-1 and Dimension D, it was important to model the BBD response and the delay trajectory accurately, as determined by the user settings. The time evolution of the delay is critical to the sound of a chorus and vibrato, and the BBD adds a certain character to the delayed signal.

What Is a Cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that makes objects look as though you were viewing them through foggy glasses or a frost-covered window. The condition is called cataract or cataracts - either term is correct. It can occur in one or both eyes. If both eyes are affected, the cataracts may progress (become larger or more opaque) at different rates, but the condition is not contagious and does not spread from one eye to the other. Cataracts are not painful and do not irritate the eyes or cause them to produce tears.
The lens is a transparent, layered structure that lies behind the iris - the colored part of the eye. (Learn more about the parts of the eye in The Anatomy of the Eye) For a visual image to be processed, the lens must focus light on the retina, the back part of the eye (read How the Eye Works). The clearer the lens is, the sharper your vision will be. A hazy lens will cause the brain to perceive filmy images, rather than crisp and distinct ones.
Types of Cataract
Age-related cataracts
Cataracts are categorized according to their cause, and there are several types of cataract, as we'll explain below. But unless otherwise specified, the term usually refers to age-related cataracts. The lens is made up primarily of water and protein fibers, which are arranged in a way that optimizes visual clarity. But year by year, the lens becomes thicker and heavier, and these protein fibers begin to break down. The proteins form clumps that distort light as it penetrates the lens and reaches the retina (see How the Eye Works). A cataract can form in any part of the lens, but the closer it is to the center, the more likely it is to obscure vision.
Other types of cataract
Secondary. Age-related cataracts is considered to be a primary disease because it evolves by itself, rather than as the unintended consequence of a surgical procedure, as a medication side effect, or as a result of some other condition. A secondary cataract is one that can be linked to another cause, such as those listed below:
- Eye surgery, such as for glaucoma or for a previous cataract in the same eye
- Use of medically approved medications, such as corticosteroids (for example, prednisone), chlorpromazine, and phenothiazine
- Other conditions, such as diabetes, retinitis pigmentosa, hypoparathyroidism, atopic dermatitis, and uveitis
Congenital. A baby born with cataracts is said to have congenital cataracts, although the condition may be either inherited (genetically transmitted) or congenital (acquired in the womb by means of illness or an infection such as rubella [measles]). Cataracts that develop during early childhood is also usually called congenital cataracts.
Traumatic. A traumatic cataract is one that occurs after an injury, either right away or years after the event. Almost any kind of traumatic injury can be responsible:
- Blunt trauma, like getting punched in the eye during a fist fight
- Penetrating trauma, such as when a shard of glass or metal pierces the eye during an auto accident
- Alkaline chemical burns
- Electrical trauma, such as being shocked with a Taser (stun) gun
Radiation. The word radiation simply refers to radiant heat, such as the heat of the sun's rays. Radiation cataracts, sometimes called toxic cataracts, is a form of the disease caused by ultraviolet radiation from sunlight or by exposure to other forms of radiation. For example, the development of cataracts among workers who cleaned up the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident was linked to their radiation exposure at the plant. Even radiation therapy intended to shrink a cancerous tumor can cause cataracts as a side effect.
Classification of Cataract
The lens of the eye is made up of three layers the nucleus, or core, of the lens is surrounded by a cortex. This cortex, or cortical layer, is in turn enveloped by a capsule, or capsular layer. It might help to picture the lens as a candy-coated chocolate-covered almond. The almond is the nucleus, the chocolate is the cortex, and the candy shell is the capsule that surrounds the chocolate-covered almond. When a vision specialist diagnoses a cataract, he or she classifies it according to type and according to its location on the lens:
When the nucleus of the lens hardens or becomes opaque (clouded), it's called a nuclear cataract. This type of cataract tends to have a muddy, dark-brown or a milky, opalescent appearance and poses the greatest threat to visual acuity because it lies behind the pupil, obscuring central vision. People with this kind of cataract tend to become more nearsighted as the cataract distorts the light entering the pupil. They may actually have better vision in dim light because pupil dilation allows them to see around the dense area of the lens.
A cataract on the cortex of the lens is called a cortical cataract. This type of cataract has a distinctive spoked or striated appearance. Nearly two-thirds of all cataracts fall into this category.
Posterior subcapsular
A lacy, dense area that forms just in front of the posterior lens capsule (that is, the back of the lens capsule) is called a posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC). PSCs often make the person sensitive to glare and make it difficult for them to focus on objects in the near distance. A PSC often combines with one of the other types of cataract as they progress to more advanced stages.
Other types
When two or more types of cataract combine in a person with advanced cataract disease, the area is referred to as a mixed cataract. When the lens becomes completely veiled, the cataract is said to be mature or ripe. A hypermature cataract may cause pain or inflammation that necessitates surgery.
Weighing Your Options
If a vision care provider discovers that you or a friend or loved one has a cataract (read Diagnosing Cataracts), it's time to take stock of your options (see Treatment and Care of People with Cataracts). But take heart - remember, most cataracts progress slowly and do not cause low vision for several years after they're detected.
