Please select the black triangle: Side effects of treatment for oral cancer Because treatment often damages healthy cells and tissues, unwanted side effects are common. These side effects depend mainly on the location of the tumor and the type and extent of the treatment. Side effects may not be the same for each person, and they may even change from one treatment session to the next. Before treatment starts, your health care team will explain possible side effects and suggest ways to help you manage them. The NCI provides helpful booklets about cancer treatments and coping with side effects. Booklets such as Radiation Therapy and You, Chemotherapy and You, and Eating Hints for Cancer Patients may be viewed, downloaded, and ordered from http://cancer.gov/publications. These materials also may be ordered by calling the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) also provides helpful materials. Head and Neck Radiation Treatment and Your Mouth, Chemotherapy and Your Mouth, and other booklets are available from NIDCR. See "National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research Information Resources" for a list of publications. Surgery It takes time to heal after surgery, and the time needed to recover is different for each person. You may be uncomfortable for the first few days after surgery. However, medicine can usually control the pain. Before surgery, you should discuss the plan for pain relief with your doctor or nurse. After surgery, your doctor can adjust the plan if you need more pain relief. It is common to feel tired or weak for a while. Also, surgery may cause tissues in your face to swell. This swelling usually goes away within a few weeks. However, removing lymph nodes can result in swelling that lasts a long time. Surgery to remove a small tumor in the mouth may not cause any lasting problems. For a larger tumor, however, the surgeon may remove part of the palate, tongue, or jaw. This surgery may change your ability to chew, swallow, or talk. Also, your face may look different after surgery. Reconstructive or plastic surgery may be done to rebuild the bones or tissues of the mouth. (See "Reconstruction.") Radiation therapy Almost all patients who have radiation therapy to the head and neck area develop oral side effects. That is why it is important to get the mouth in good condition before cancer treatment begins. Seeing a dentist two weeks before cancer treatment begins gives the mouth time to heal after dental work. The side effects of radiation therapy depend mainly on the amount of radiation given. Some side effects in the mouth go away after radiation treatment ends, while others last a long time. A few side effects (such as dry mouth) may never go away. Radiation therapy may cause some or all of these side effects: Dry mouth: Dry mouth can make it hard for you to eat, talk, and swallow. It can also lead to tooth decay. You may find it helpful to drink lots of water, suck ice chips or sugar-free hard candy, and use a saliva substitute to moisten your mouth. Tooth decay: Radiation can cause major tooth decay problems. Good mouth care can help you keep your teeth and gums healthy and can help you feel better. Doctors usually suggest that people gently brush their teeth, gums, and tongue with an extra-soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste after every meal and before bed. If brushing hurts, you can soften the bristles in warm water. Your dentist may suggest that you use fluoride gel before, during, and after radiation treatment. It also helps to rinse your mouth several times a day with a solution made from 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/8 teaspoon salt in one cup of warm water. After you rinse with this solution, follow with a plain water rinse. Sore throat or mouth: Radiation therapy can cause painful ulcers and inflammation. Your doctor can suggest medicines to help control the pain. Your doctor also may suggest special rinses to numb the throat and mouth to help relieve the soreness. If your pain continues, you can ask your doctor about stronger medicines. Sore or bleeding gums: It is important to brush and floss teeth gently. You may want to avoid areas that are sore or bleeding. To protect your gums from damage, it is a good idea to avoid the use of toothpicks. Infection: Dry mouth and damage to the lining of the mouth from radiation therapy can cause infection to develop. It helps to check your mouth every day for sores or other changes and to tell your doctor or nurse about any mouth problems. Delayed healing after dental care: Radiation treatment may make it hard for tissues in the mouth to heal. It helps to have a thorough dental exam and complete all needed dental treatment well before radiation therapy begins. Jaw stiffness: Radiation can affect the chewing muscles and make it difficult for you to open your mouth. You can prevent or reduce jaw stiffness by exercising your jaw muscles. Health care providers often suggest opening and closing the mouth as far as possible (without causing pain) 20 times in a row, 3 times a day. Denture problems: Radiation therapy can change the tissues in your mouth so that dentures do not fit anymore. Because of soreness and dry mouth, some people may not be able to wear dentures for as long as one year after radiation therapy. After the tissues heal completely and your mouth is no longer sore, your dentist may need to refit or replace your dentures. Changes in the sense of taste and smell: During radiation therapy, food may taste or smell different. Changes in voice quality: Your voice may be weak at the end of the day. It may also be affected by changes in the weather. Radiation directed at the neck may cause your larynx to swell, causing voice changes and the feeling of a lump in your throat. Your doctor may suggest medicine to reduce this swelling. Changes in the thyroid: Radiation treatment can affect your thyroid (an organ in your neck beneath the voice box). If your thyroid does not make enough thyroid hormone, you may feel tired, gain weight, feel cold, and have dry skin and hair. Your doctor can check the level of thyroid hormone with a blood test. If the level is low, you may need to take thyroid hormone pills. Skin changes in the treated area: The skin in the treated area may become red or dry. Good skin care is important at this time. It is helpful to expose this area to the air while protecting it from the sun. Also, avoid wearing clothes that rub the treated area, and do not shave the treated area. You should not use lotions or creams in the treated area without your doctor's advice. Fatigue: You may become very tired, especially in the later weeks of radiation therapy. Resting is important, but doctors usually advise their patients to stay as active as they can. Although the side effects of radiation therapy can be distressing, your doctor can usually treat or control them. It helps to report any problems that you are having so that your doctor can work with you to relieve them. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause some of the same side effects, including painful mouth and gums, dry mouth, infection, and changes in taste. Some anticancer drugs can also cause bleeding in the mouth and a deep pain that feels like a toothache. The problems you have depend on the type and amount of anticancer drugs you receive, and how your body reacts to them. You may have these problems only during treatment or for a short time after treatment ends. Generally, anticancer drugs affect cells that divide rapidly. In addition to cancer cells, these rapidly dividing cells include the following: Blood cells: These cells fight infection, help your blood to clot, and carry oxygen to all parts of the body. When drugs affect your blood cells, you are more likely to get infections, bruise or bleed easily, and feel very weak and tired. Cells in hair roots: Chemotherapy can lead to hair loss. The hair grows back, but sometimes the new hair is somewhat different in color and texture. Cells that line the digestive tract: Chemotherapy can cause poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, or mouth and lip sores. Many of these side effects can be controlled with drugs.

Best Uses
I picked up this set to use with our camper, much easier to use a bit and my drill to lower & raise the levelers than the hand crank that came with it. I do wish HarborFreight would sell single sockets though. I was going to buy the one socket I needed at a big name store but for $1 more I was able to buy this entire set.

Great bargain

About Me Professional
I bought these so I didn't have to bring my professional tools out on jobs with me which ultimately end up getting lost. The biggest appeal was the color so they are easy to identify right away. The only drawback is they are hard to get off the storage rail but I would recommend the set, just put them on an aftermarket rail. I would have given these 5 stars except for the rail issue.

• Highlights of the No Child Left Behind Act
• Parents' Right To Know
• Teacher Qualification Requirements
• Paraprofessional Qualification Requirements
The No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in January, 2002, by President George Bush. The Act focuses on (1.) increased accountability for states, school districts and individual schools, (2.) greater choice for parents and students, especially those in low-performing schools, and (3.) greater flexibility for states and local education agencies in the use of federal dollars.
for more information on the No Child Left Behind Act, visit http://www.NoChildLeftBehind.gov
The local school district must disseminate a blanket statement that any parent can request information about any teacher of their child. Under federal law, parents have the right to know:
Teacher qualifications can be accessed at Teacher Qualification Search.
Parents should direct any questions or concerns about teacher qualifications to the Office of Teacher Quality at Chesterfield County School District Office, 843-623-5534. Written responses should be expected within two weeks.
In addition to the information that parents may request, a school that receives Title I funds must provide each individual parent a timely notice that the parent's child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by, a teacher who is not highly qualified.
The notice and information provided to parents must be in an understandable and uniform format and, to the extent practicable, provided in a language that the parents can understand. This applies to all teachers teaching core academic subjects in a Title I school, regardless if the school has a schoolwide or targeted assistance program.
Highly qualified teachers are those teachers who have:
A teacher is considered to meet the certification requirements for being highly qualified if he/she has one of the following certificates:
General Information
All teachers hired after the first day of the 2002-03 school year to teach core academic subjects in Title I school-wide programs or Title I targeted assistance programs must be highly qualified. In addition, all teachers hired after the first day of the 2002-03 school year, for the purpose of reducing class size, whose salaries are paid through No Child Left Behind Act, Improving Teacher Quality Grand funds, who teach core academic subjects, must be highly qualified by the end of the 2005-06 school year and all schools must show annual progress towards having all core academic subjects teachers highly qualified by the end of the 2005-06 school year.
Teachers who instruct in the areas of physical education, health education, career and technology education, or driver education are not required to meet the highly qualified requirement. Teachers who do not provide the initial or primary instruction and do not assign a grade in a core academic subject are not required to meet the highly qualified requirement; such teachers may include English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) teachers, gifted and talented teachers, and exceptional education teachers in resource, inclusion, and itinerant settings.
According to the No Child Left Behind Act, all Title I instructional paraprofessionals must meet one of three requirements. The paraprofessional must either
1. obtain an associates degree or higher;
2. complete two years of coursework at an institution of higher education, or
3. meet a rigorous standard of quality and demonstrate, through a formal state or local academic assessment,
a) knowledge of, and the ability to assist in instructing, reading, writing and mathematics; or
b) knowledge of and the ability to assist in instructing, reading readiness, writing readiness, or mathematics readiness as appropriate.
In order to be hired in a Title I school or a Title I targeted assistance program after January 8, 2002, instructional paraprofessionals must meet one of the above requirements. All Title I instructional paraprofessionals employed before January 8, 2002, must meet one of the above requirements by January 8, 2006. Chesterfield County School District strongly encourages paraprofessionals in non-Title I schools to become highly qualified by meeting one of the three requirements listed above.

ABC coverage of the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption
Recently, the ABC has been questioned about its coverage of the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption. The ABC has covered this issue over several years and will continue to report on newsworthy events at the Royal Commission.
Below is ABC News's response to the Media Watch program about its coverage and links to some relevant stories.
Media Watch Response:
The ABC continues to cover the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption exhaustively across our broadcast and digital outlets, including live coverage of proceedings on News 24, scheduled television and radio bulletins, current affairs and radio broadcasts and online and mobile reporting.
Bulletin producers balance complex decisions about their rundowns and the nights in question included a mix of big local stories and late-breaking news. The hearings received wide coverage across all ABC platforms, including the Early Edition News at 5pm, which runs nationally. The story ran in the NSW, Victoria, SA, WA and ACT 7pm television bulletins and our audiences could follow it on national ABC outlets across the week, including 7.30, Lateline, News 24, radio current affairs and online.
The 7pm news rundowns are not centrally controlled. We rely on the eight State and territory editorial teams to put together programs for their local audiences. They are always on the lookout for strong stories and rarely need directives. A centrally dictated rundown would be more susceptible to claims of bias.
We are comfortable with the breadth and depth of coverage given to the Royal Commission. Indeed, the ABC has probably covered this story in greater detail in recent days than any other media outlet.
Here is a selection of the recent coverage from the ABC site.
Links from ABC News:
The ABC agrees that the story is newsworthy which is why we are the only news agency to have spoken directly to each of the protagonists involved in the case. Here they are:
- Alleged slush fund mastermind speaks on AWU scandal
- Former AWU official's return pushes PM claims centrestage
- Lawyer claims discrepancy in PM's slush fund explanation
- Former Slater and Gordon partner explores AWU scandal
- Blewitt defends credibility after PM's attack
- Lawyer denies offering money to implicate Julia Gillard in scandal
We have been covering it since the opening day – for example on 7.30 the program spent the majority of its time on the Royal Commission into Trade Unions.
- Lawyer denies offering money to Julia Gillard in scandal
- Union Royal Commission begins into union "slush fund" affairs which embroiled Julia Gillard

Special Issue "Sustainability in Global Value Chain"

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental and social sustainability issues are among the most pressing concerns for modern humanity, governments, and multinational enterprises (MNEs). Environmentally and socially conscious business practices have been acknowledged as key factors that promote MNEs' economic sustainability. Sustainable global value chain management is evolving into an important approach for MNEs to manage their environmental and social responsibility. Yet, despite their importance for easing environmental and social degradation, and for providing economic benefits, the study of sustainability in the global value chain is still an under-researched area.
This special issue focuses on the sustainable concerns of the global value chain. Global value chain optimization demands comprehensive interactions among partners in the value chain. The special issue strongly encourages submissions from all fields of social science. Inter-disciplinary collaborations are welcome. The special issue solicits both conceptual and empirical contributions related to practice that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
• MNEs have come to realize that a large and increasing amount of environmental and social risks exist in their firm's global supply chains. How do MNEs identify the risks?
• The poor environmental and social standards of small suppliers often negatively affect the performance and image of large MNEs in the same global value chain. How do MNEs prevent the damages?
• Community stakeholders rarely distinguish between a reputable MNE and its supplier's inferior environmental or social practices. How do MNEs be responsible to their diverse stakeholders, with individually particular interests?
• How do MNEs responsibly incorporate environmental and social concerns into their global value chain, especially with supplying companies in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
Beyond the above themes and ideas, this special issue leaves the list of themes and topics open, so as to not limit the thinking to existing frameworks and approaches; the special issue supports approaches that might face challenges in more traditional outlets. Shorter pieces are also welcome.

San Diego
A 29-year-old woman accused of fatally shooting her boyfriend during a struggle over a gun was released from custody Wednesday while authorities continue to review the case.
Meghan Elizabeth Fletcher was arrested Saturday on suspicion of murder and was set to be arraigned Wednesday, but the hearing was canceled.
Deputy District Attorney Katherine Flaherty said the case is still under review and being investigated, and no decision has been made by prosecutors on charges yet.
Fletcher was released from Las Colinas jail in Santee Wednesday evening because charges were not filed within 48 hours of arrest.
Police arrived on Saturday night at a Del Cerro apartment shared by Fletcher and her boyfriend.
They found Christopher Black, 28, in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the chest. The couple had been reportedly struggling over control of a handgun when the shot was fired, said San Diego homicide Lt. Ernie Herbert.
The case has been sealed.
Fletcher recently passed the bar exam and volunteers as an attorney with the HIV/AIDS Legal Services Project, according to her LinkedIn page.
Friends and family took to Facebook in Black's memory, posting stories and photos from his childhood days sunning at the beach and playing hockey, to his time as a sergeant in the Army.
Black's parents and sister, who live on the East Coast, said in an email that the couple lived together.
Black, who grew up in Parsippany, N.J., enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2003. He was deployed to South Korea and Iraq and was honorably discharged in 2009 with the rank of sergeant in military intelligence. He moved to San Diego that year, his family said.
Since July 2009, he had worked for General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., Reconnaissance Systems Group, as a target intelligence officer.
He was deployed by the company three times to Iraq and had recently returned from his second deployment in Afghanistan, his family said.

Man accused of sex assault on woman pleads not guilty
San Diego
A 25-year-old man accused of attacking a woman last weekend in Ocean Beach, dragging her to a secluded area and sexually assaulting her, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to felony charges.
Richard Christopher Butts is charged with kidnapping with intent to commit sexual assault, forcible oral copulation, and assault with intent to commit sexual assault.
San Diego Superior Court Judge David Szumowski set Butts' bail at $300,000. The judge appointed the Public Defender's Office to represent the defendant.
Butts was arrested Sunday night shortly after the attack in which police said he beat the woman before sexually assaulting her.
The 26-year-old woman was walking home that night after having dinner at a friend's house, when an assailant ran up, bear-hugged her and dragged her 30 to 40 feet to another area, said Deputy District Attorney Wendy Patrick.
The woman, who did not know her attacker, screamed and fought back. Neighbors responded immediately and called police.

I know that you are supposed to rinse quinoa before cooking because it has a "natural insecticide" coating called saponin on it.
I just prepared some quinoa from cooking and rinsed it in several changes of water. I didn't notice any change in the quinoa and the water never got cloudy. How do you know if you've rinsed it enough, and what happens if you haven't? Can it make you sick?

5 Minutes of Fame (Noisebridge)
A mystery guest!
Last night was Five Minutes of Fame at Noisebridge. This is a monthly gathering open to any and all speakers, devoted to silly and serious talks of all varieties. (I've given a couple in Octobers past: an interactive demo on piezos this year, and a holography primer in 2011.)
The evening's highlights included a musical intro, an exploration of network security/censorship in Burma, and A DIY FRICKING X-RAY MACHINE! Here are my sketches of these exciting, creative humans.
Danny O'Brien: Our gracious host, bombastic as always.
Josh Juran led us in a singalong of "It's the End of the World As We Know It", as the apocalypse demands.
Jacob Appelbaum showed up to fill the "Mystery Guest" spot on the roster. He gave us an illustrated tour of how to get yourself into trouble in Burma. International SIM cards there easily cost 250-500 USD. Interestingly, although all network traffic appears to be locked down (or at least monitored), the same doesn't apply to physical nodes. Hmmm.
Annalee Newitz shared some magnificent advancements in self-healing concrete (and other ways that architecture is learning to work with biology). Contrary to the prior prevailing wisdom, the best place to be in an apocalypse is a city. At least, that's what she'd like everyone else to believe.
I can keep sitting here all day and eat whatever I want, as long as it's all in one monstrous helping… and still be healthy! This is a gross misrepresentation of what Naomi Most taught us about nutrition, which was truly useful. Try an intermittent fast, eating just a couple of times a day to keep your metabolism high, and if you get hungry, grab a small piece of something fatty to gobble. (Not your pets.)
Liz Henry foolishly shared a few of her million-dollar ideas with us. I'm gonna get rich off of cat food spray.
Praveen Sinha exhorts you to learn some statistics. You'll feel better, understand guns and epidemics, and not sound like such an idiot when you talk about Sandy Hook.
Johny Radio is running an all-DIY-instrument concert and recording session at Noisebridge in January. He brought along a Martin to demonstrate some circuit-bending musical wizardry.
Jake Spaz went full mad scientist with a homebrew X-ray camera. We looked at some bits of metal and a taxidermied mouse. As far as I know, he is still alive. (No word on "Mr. X", the mysterious engineer who helped create this thing, which included most of a taser.)
Schuyler Erle: all board games, all time travel, all hard sci-fi. Most likely all nerd as well.
Ari Lacenski taught us the difference between Ionian and Aeolian scales. She also made the Cranky Scale Generator, which tells you how to use selected notes together in various scales. I'm looking forward to more strange musical things from her.
By this point, since a 5MOF talk is never actually 5 minutes, it was nearing 11:30pm. Snail, Tom, and I snuck out to get some apocalyptic nachos, and when we came back, it was over. I consider this a night well spent.
Website needs a revamp. Step 1: individual blog posts for sketches. While I work on this, all the past ones are gone, but they'll be back… holy crap, 8 months yielded a giant mass of doodles. All will eventually be available under the "People" tab above.

I took an x-ray of my hand with the DIY x-ray machine yesterday, here it is (with post-processing (adjusting the brightness range and with a bit of blur, the original is at http://i.imgur.com/tVje9.jpg )): http://i.imgur.com/H3s2Y.jpg
I'm going to try replacing the taser with a better power supply, and also trying to see if I can modulate the tube current and use lock-in detection to better extract images from the noise.

Higher Risk Strategy Proves High Reward for Federer
May 19, 2009 · Print This Article
For the first time since 2007, and only the second time ever, Fed finally earned a clay-court victory over the Spanish juggernaut that has run over him (and his confidence) for some time. Fed took the title of the Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open with a 6-4 6-4 win over the world's top ranked player, Rafael Nadal. Whether this occurrence was an anomaly, or the foreshadowing of things to come, remains to be seen. What is for sure, however, is that Fed made some seemingly minor adjustments that had major implications.
Rafa's high topspin forehand to Fed's backhand has obviously been the bain of Fed's existence recently. In Madrid, Fed mitigated the devastating effects of this matchup nightmare by tactfully hammering his forehand down the line to Nadal's backhand. Rather than focusing on nailing a winner, Fed put the ball in the corner and set up the next shot with Nadal scrambling to get back into position. Not only did this keep the looping ball away from Fed's backhand, but it also cost Nadal some positioning strength.
On the topic of positioning, Fed was also able to disrupt Rafa's through the use of timely drop shots. We will not know for sure if this strategy worked because Nadal was fatigued from the previous day's match (4+ hour win over Djokovic), but perhaps this is the way Fed will need to exploit Rafa if he hopes to win in Paris.
Fed also seemed more aggressive in returning Rafa's serve, which has received some attention in the past months. Nadal has hinted that his second serve could use some work, an indication that maybe his confidence is not as bullet proof as it has been since his run at the #1 ranking and into this year. If Fed is to have any chance of winning at the French this year, he will need, amongst other things, something to rattle Rafa's confidence. While the Madrid title is peanuts compared to any major, Rafa may finally be feeling the pressures of being expected to win every time he hits the court. Perhaps this will allow Fed to relax and execute his game-plan better.
While it is far too premature to project the results of this one match on to the rest of the season, the end of Nadal's 33 match winning streak on clay gives Federer's legion of fans the slightest glimpse of hope heading into Roland Garros.

Retirement Annuities
Compare over 300 retirement annuities, fixed annuities and equity indexed annuities. We provide quotes for retirement annuities from over 40 different annuity insurance companies.
To purchase retirement annuities, you make a one-time payment and distributions typically begin within 30 days, but can be delayed for up to one year. Retirement annuities can be fixed or variable, just as with deferred annuities. The income payments you receive from fixed retirement annuities will never change and are based on the amount you contribute, your gender, age and the interest rate environment at the time of purchase.
Retirement annuities can provide dependable security: a stream of income payments that will continue for the rest of your life or for a period you select. If you are about to stop working, retirement annuities may be a good place to deposit a large lump sum of money accumulated through a deferred annuity, a retirement plan or other savings vehicle.
For a more detailed discussion of retirement annuities and their various payment options, please visit our Retirement Annuities Explained page.
Retirement annuities can be purchased with funds from a variety of possible sources, such as: a maturing Certificate of Deposit (CD); monies which have accumulated in a Deferred Annuity account; or funds from a tax-qualified defined benefit, 401k or IRA account.
Many investors and financial planners have benefited from retirement annuities, although selection of the right insurance company based on your unique requirements is very important. If you think retirement annuities may be a good solution for you, please complete our Retirement Annuities Quote Form or contact our Retirement Annuities Information Center toll-free at 1-800-239-0356.
The payment terms of Single Premium Retirement Annuities can be customized and are suitable for a variety of income needs. They are most typically used to fund income requirements while in retirement. However, they can also be used to provide a source of income to dependents after your death, to provide specified child support or alimony payments, to fund specialized education for a disabled child or to consolidate assets and turn them into an income stream.
Under current tax law, a portion of each payment received from non-qualified retirement annuities is tax free until your total premium is recovered. The remainder of each payment will be taxable as ordinary income in the year received.
Talk to an Annuity Advantage Specialist today and see how Single Premium Retirement Annuities can help you meet your retirement income needs.
Our retirement annuities service is always FREE and you will never incur any type of sales charge or load fee. If you prefer the assistance of a live retirement annuities specialist, please call our Retirement Annuities Information Center toll-free at 1-800-239-0356.
Buying retirement annuities has never been easier. AnnuityAdvantage.com, your complete one-stop retirement annuities shopping service.

Ashley Eckstein's AHSOKA Exit Interview Part 1
On Monday came news that Star Wars: The Clone Wars is coming to an end, with the ambiguous announcement that already-produced content (including some still being worked on) will show up at some time and some place, some how. We spoke to Lucasfilm for clarification, and unfortunately, they can't tell us much more about whether these will be released as episodes, arcs, direct-to-dvd/digital, or any details at all. All Lucasfilm could confirm is that there are at least two arcs worth of story content to be released. A Lucasfilm rep told us "we love the stories we have left, and we will make sure they get out to our amazing fans."
Well, one of those received an answer in the season finale of the fifth (and last) season to air on Cartoon Network (SPOILERS FOLLOW). Ahsoka Tano walked away from the Jedi Order after their betrayal of her, literally walking off into the sunset, and leaving her world full of possibilities.
Newsarama said goodbye to Ahsoka Tano, but someone else needed to, as well, the voice that gave her a heart and soul, Ashley Eckstein. After working with Lucasfilm as Ahsoka Tano for seven years, she said finding the emotions needed for the big goodbye was all-too easy. In this three-part exit interview, we talk to Eckstein about portraying Ahsoka, the Her Universe brand, and why it's so hard to say goodbye to a cartoon character that became a real part of so many lives.
Read on for part one, where we specifically discuss the finale, and what went into making a heartfelt, but hopeful, end to Ahsoka Tano's journey.
Newsarama: So, Ashley, let's start off with the fact that you made a bunch of grown men cry in front of their girlfriends, and fiancées, and wives, and children… are you proud of yourself?
Nrama: Well that's good at least! Tell me about that first moment when Dave Filoni came to you with this script - did he do anything special, a sit down in his office or anything like that?
Eckstein: Dave did call me ahead of time and tell me what was going to happen. In the past, I usually didn't get briefings on the episodes before hand. Dave does an excellent job, when we go into the studio, giving us a recap of what's about to happen. What's going on in the episode we're about to record, or the arc that's about to start.
For this arc, obviously, with it being so emotional, Dave let me know before I got in the studio so that Matt [Lanter, voice of Anakin Skywalker] and I could get in the right headspace for it. So I knew what was coming, I knew what was happening, and I thought the story was amazing. It's really exciting because we don't know what is eventually going to happen to her. Now that she left the Jedi Order, we hope that maybe she was able to escape Order 66 and somehow survive. Only time will tell with that.
When he sent me that email, it hit me. Wait a minute. This is the final scene isn't it? Ahsoka walks away! It's really the final scene between Anakin and Ahsoka. At that moment, I got really emotional, because, just like Ahsoka was ending a chapter in her life, I felt like I was ending a chapter. Seven years being on a show is a long time. For actors, you don't get that luxury very often, with the rate that shows are cancelled so quickly. For us to be on a show so long, Matt - I would consider him like a brother to me. He's become such a close friend. So to hear that I needed to be emotionally prepared for our final scene - it wasn't very hard! I realize that's probably the last scene I'll ever record with him. It hit me pretty hard, so I was ready.
Nrama: Well, my dream to have a live-action movie with you playing an adult Ahsoka years later having survived the purge is alive!
Eckstein: (laughs) Well let's just say Ahsoka is alive, and we're happy about that. Whether I'm a part of that equation - who knows, I can't even think about that! That would be incredible, but I'm not a decision maker on that!
It's just been an honor to be attached to her in any way shape or form, and to be the voice of Ahsoka. I think, what's exciting, I think fans took such a black and white approach to her fate: she has to die. There's Order 66 and no other way around it! But no, she doesn't, she can walk away from the Jedi Order and she's not around for Order 66. So now we're in this grey area where she's alive and there's all sorts of possibility.
Come back tomorrow for part two, where Ashley Eckstein talks about recording her last scene as Ahsoka, whether the character made the right choice, and how she thinks the end of Season 5 will affect Anakin Skywalker.Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

While it was hot and my blood sugar was low, as mentioned, I installed the filter. After the filter was installed, I came back a few days later to inspect my work because I had done it in the high heat and knew it was possible I made an error.
Guess what? My work wasn't right and I fixed the pipe/fitting leak on the spot. All I sold this client was a filter and installation. This client is nearly 50 miles from me, and since he was an educator I sold him the filter and installation at a discount, I figured I did right by him.
While there on the follow-up, I replaced a fuse on the salt cell and the system worked flawlessly developing chlorine before I left. Later if failed again. I made clear to the client that I was not the company he bought the PoolEx Chlorinator from.
I pointed out if I had sold and installed it, I would happily provide warranty work, but since I had to pay for any parts, I couldn't do it free. If you buy an item at Wal-Mart and it fails, you can't take it back to Target and ask for a new one. Same principle.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I got my start writing in a place a lot like this one, except it was back in the late 1990s when the Internet came in the mail on discs from a man named Steve Case, and all I wrote about was Star Wars. Since then I've written the same novel several times over and a boatload of short stories. I also went to college, traveled the world a bit, and interned for two publishing companies. I now write and edit professionally. Someday, after I'm famous, I will change this box to read something snappy like, "I make up stories for young people. Sometimes they read them." But for now, we'll stick with this.
The big story I'm sharing on Wattpad right now is called Soulwoven. It's got dragons and necromancers and magic and death, and it's about two brothers and how their decisions shape a world torn between loving and hating itself. It's about a lot of other things too, but that's good for a start. Thanks in part to my Wattpad readers, I Kickstarted its publication in 2013. You can buy it in print or e-book here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKAXSPG/
I hope you enjoy it.
Also, I sometimes do first-page critiques here on Wattpad. When I do, I always reserve a few spots for my followers, so if you want more info on them, make sure to follow me.
If you like my stuff, you can check me out:

Cleaning involves getting rid of dirt and gunk where germs can grow. The friction of cleaning -- often with soap and water -- removes most surface germs, which is adequate for most household surfaces. In other cases, however, it's a good idea to disinfect, which destroys or inactivates most of the germs.
Here's a quick guide on when to do which and how to go about it.
"In general, you don't have to be overly careful about laundry," Shu says. You want clean clothes, but disinfecting them usually isn't necessary. For heavily soiled clothing, she recommends rinsing them before putting them in the wash. Some washers have a "soak" feature for that purpose.
When washing, use laundry detergent and the warmest water recommended on the clothing label, she says. "Generally the warmer the water, the more germs you will kill."
If a family member has been sick with the flu or other infectious illness, however, disinfecting the laundry may help prevent illness from spreading to others. To disinfect laundry, add chlorine bleach (for whites only) to the wash. If you are washing clothes at a coin laundry, wipe the surface of the machine with a disinfectant before loading. Then add a disinfectant to the wash cycle. Follow the directions on the disinfectant label for adding to wash.
Household Surfaces
Regularly disinfect surfaces that are touched by more than one person, particularly if someone in the family is sick, Shu says. These include doorknobs, refrigerator door handles, microwaves, faucets, and toilet flushers. Clean them and then disinfect with a commercial disinfectant or make your own by adding no more than a cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water. Or combine steps by using a single product designed to clean and disinfect. Look for products that say they are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency on the label.
For electronic devices such as phones, remote controls, game controls, and computer keyboards, wipe with sanitizer cloths or use a product designed for electronics. Computer keyboards can also be covered with a plastic or silicone cover to make cleaning and disinfecting easier, Shu says.

Nuclear Nightmares
By Bill Keller
Published: May 26, 2002
Not If But When: Everybody who spends much time thinking about nuclear terrorism can give you a scenario, something diabolical and, theoretically, doable. Michael A. Levi, a researcher at the Federation of American Scientists, imagines a homemade nuclear explosive device detonated inside a truck passing through one of the tunnels into Manhattan. The blast would crater portions of the New York skyline, barbecue thousands of people instantly, condemn thousands more to a horrible death from radiation sickness and -- by virtue of being underground -- would vaporize many tons of concrete and dirt and river water into an enduring cloud of lethal fallout. Vladimir Shikalov, a Russian nuclear physicist who helped clean up after the 1986 Chernobyl accident, envisioned for me an attack involving highly radioactive cesium-137 loaded into some kind of homemade spraying device, and a target that sounded particularly unsettling when proposed across a Moscow kitchen table -- Disneyland. In this case, the human toll would be much less ghastly, but the panic that would result from contaminating the Magic Kingdom with a modest amount of cesium -- Shikalov held up his teacup to illustrate how much -- would probably shut the place down for good and constitute a staggering strike at Americans' sense of innocence. Shikalov, a nuclear enthusiast who thinks most people are ridiculously squeamish about radiation, added that personally he would still be happy to visit Disneyland after the terrorists struck, although he would pack his own food and drink and destroy his clothing afterward.
Another Russian, Dmitry Borisov, a former official of his country's atomic energy ministry, conjured a suicidal pilot. (Suicidal pilots, for obvious reasons, figure frequently in these fantasies.) In Borisov's scenario, the hijacker dive-bombs an Aeroflot jetliner into the Kurchatov Institute, an atomic research center in a gentrifying neighborhood of Moscow, which I had just visited the day before our conversation. The facility contains 26 nuclear reactors of various sizes and a huge accumulation of radioactive material. The effect would probably be measured more in property values than in body bags, but some people say the same about Chernobyl.
Maybe it is a way to tame a fearsome subject by Hollywoodizing it, or maybe it is a way to drive home the dreadful stakes in the arid-sounding business of nonproliferation, but in several weeks of talking to specialists here and in Russia about the threats an amateur evildoer might pose to the homeland, I found an unnerving abundance of such morbid creativity. I heard a physicist wonder whether a suicide bomber with a pacemaker would constitute an effective radiation weapon. (I'm a little ashamed to say I checked that one, and the answer is no, since pacemakers powered by plutonium have not been implanted for the past 20 years.) I have had people theorize about whether hijackers who took over a nuclear research laboratory could improvise an actual nuclear explosion on the spot. (Expert opinions differ, but it's very unlikely.) I've been instructed how to disperse plutonium into the ventilation system of an office building.
The realistic threats settle into two broad categories. The less likely but far more devastating is an actual nuclear explosion, a great hole blown in the heart of New York or Washington, followed by a toxic fog of radiation. This could be produced by a black-market nuclear warhead procured from an existing arsenal. Russia is the favorite hypothetical source, although Pakistan, which has a program built on shady middlemen and covert operations, should not be overlooked. Or the explosive could be a homemade device, lower in yield than a factory nuke but still creating great carnage.
The second category is a radiological attack, contaminating a public place with radioactive material by packing it with conventional explosives in a ''dirty bomb'' by dispersing it into the air or water or by sabotaging a nuclear facility. By comparison with the task of creating nuclear fission, some of these schemes would be almost childishly simple, although the consequences would be less horrifying: a panicky evacuation, a gradual increase in cancer rates, a staggeringly expensive cleanup, possibly the need to demolish whole neighborhoods. Al Qaeda has claimed to have access to dirty bombs, which is unverified but entirely plausible, given that the makings are easily gettable.
Nothing is really new about these perils. The means to inflict nuclear harm on America have been available to rogues for a long time. Serious studies of the threat of nuclear terror date back to the 1970's. American programs to keep Russian nuclear ingredients from falling into murderous hands -- one of the subjects high on the agenda in President Bush's meetings in Moscow this weekend -- were hatched soon after the Soviet Union disintegrated a decade ago. When terrorists get around to trying their first nuclear assault, as you can be sure they will, there will be plenty of people entitled to say I told you so.
