text: DENVER, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Air Force has awarded Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] two fixed-price contracts totaling $120 million to procure long lead parts for the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth next generation Global Positioning System satellites, known as GPS III. The GPS III program will affordably replace aging GPS satellites while improving capability to meet the evolving demands of military, commercial and civilian users. GPS III satellites will deliver better accuracy and improved anti-jamming power while enhancing the spacecraft's design life and adding a new civil signal designed to be interoperable with international global navigation satellite systems. "The GPS III program was laid out at the very beginning to reduce risk early and facilitate affordable satellite production over the long term," said Lt Col Todd Caldwell, the U.S. Air Force's GPS III program manager. "This most recent award and our team's ability to convert the contract structure to fixed price is a sign that we are on track to meet the affordability objectives and commitments we originally set out to achieve." Incorporating lessons learned from previous GPS programs, the Air Force initiated a "back-to-basics" acquisition approach for GPS III. The strategy emphasizes early investments in rigorous systems engineering, industry-leading parts standards, and the development of a full-size GPS III satellite prototype to significantly reduce risk, improve production predictability, increase mission assurance and lower overall program costs. These investments early in the GPS III program are designed to prevent the types of engineering issues discovered on other programs late in the manufacturing process or even on orbit. "The Air Force's back-to-basics acquisition strategy and the progress we have already made on our GPS III prototype gives us high confidence in our ability to perform efficient and affordable fixed-price satellite production going forward," said Keoki Jackson, vice president of Lockheed Martin's Navigation Systems mission area. "As our world becomes increasingly dependent on GPS technology, the new GPS III satellites will be a critical element of both our national and economic security, and we are committed to achieving mission success for the billions of military, commercial and civilian users worldwide." Lockheed Martin is currently under contract for production of the first four GPS III satellites, and will now begin advanced procurement of long-lead components for the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth satellites. The Air Force plans to purchase up to 32 GPS III satellites.

Nice job
May 3, 2017
Hi, my car really needed some TLC after the rainy, snowy winter we have had. It was filthy and the crew did a great job!
Manager's Special Rating
Feb 27, 2017
Had my BMW cleaned last week and should have checked the work before tipping so much. Dirt was left around both license plates, the roundel, and both bumpers. I did get compliments on the wheels and tires, though, and I like the online scheduling option. I am going back to Accutint for better detail in the wash and overall customer service experience.
Clean at last!
Feb 24, 2017
My toddler destroyed car now looks great thanks to Karmichael. Seats look new. We'll be back for sure
Check it out!!!
Jul 30, 2016
Managers Special was $39 and was my first wash at Karmichael's. The staff was friendly and there is a clean waiting room. Usually, I get my 2016 BMW washed at another detail shop in Bellevue, both do about the same quality work. I found Karmichael's to be more convenient for booking and cost a little less. Will definitely bring my other car too and fully expect to receive the same results.
Great job!
Jul 24, 2016
I chose Karmichael because I appreciate the online scheduling. Trying to schedule appointments over the phone is just frustrating. They've detailed my car twice now and did a great job both times. It's not a fancy car by any means, but they make it look brand new. Affordable luxury.

Remember this feeling right now.
Remember the feeling of your lungs being crushed.
Remember the feeling of tears burning down your cheek.
Remember suffocating on those tears.
Remember what it feels like to have your heart broken.
Remember this feeling for next time.
Remember this feeling so there isn't a next time.
Remember don't trust a single soul especially yourself.
Remember what this feels like next time you taste hope.
Remember what it feels like to taste your heart in your mouth.
Remember how much easier life is when there's no one in it.
Remember what it feels like to be heart broken.
So next time you wont have to remember.

For Percy, The Adventure Begins...
Percy slipped out of the kitchen while her mother supervised the loading of the dishes--dirtied by cooking breakfast for the King and Queen--onto the conveyor belt.
The servant droids worked with alarming efficiency. So, technically as Head Housekeeper, there was no real reason for her mother to be there. But on occasion the steam would build up and cause one of the droids to short.
After the last time, when the newest droid went berserk and smashed up seventeen pieces of the Queen's finest china, Percy's mother vowed to keep an eagle eye on them at all times. Her mother, like most of the members of her family, was not a big fan of, nor believer in, the wonders of technology.
Percy grabbed her hooded coat, her scanner, and her knapsack from the servant's closet and scurried down the rear hall, emerging in the sunlight at the back of the castle, near the alley that led into town. She knew from there she could catch a hired lev to take her into the RedLamp District where her Magic Scanner 3000 had indicated a ridiculous amount of activity last night.
She'd never seen the contraption so active before! It had always had a constant hum of activity all throughout the castle, but Percy just assumed it was somehow misreading her. She thought maybe, just maybe, the device could read a desire for magic as well as the actual presence of it.
Occasionally and inexplicably it would spike whenever she went past Elenia's room, but Percy figured that too was a mistake, an anomaly, as Professor Benjamin would call it. There was no way Elenia, of all people, could possess magic. How absurd!
In any event, the dials had been off the charts last night, bouncing around like ping pong balls, indicating that something intensely magical was happening at the center of the city. And Percy, after reading about, dreaming about, Magic for nearly half her fifteen years was determined to find out what it was.
Having made it to the end of the alley without being recognized, Percy stepped out onto the jostling Kenton Avenue, scanning the crowded street for the nearest taxi-lev stand. She saw one at the corner, and its light had just turned green. She ran up to the platform and scanned her Citizen's ID card before anyone else could claim it. She smiled when it pulled up with a whoosh and stopped on a dime right in front of her.
The passenger door rose up slowly and she heard the taxi driver say, "Where to?"
"The RedLamp District please," Percy replied as she clamored inside.
The taxi driver looked at her skeptically in the rearview mirror.
"Did you say the RedLamp District, kid?"
"Yes, I did," Percy said, putting on a most imperious tone, a trick she'd picked up from the Queen.
The taxi driver shook his head. "Even I don't go into that part of town."
"Well." She straightened her shoulders. "I've got an unlimited credit line on my ID card," she lied. "And there's another taxi lev pulling up right behind us." She tilted her head and stared back at the driver in the rearview mirror. "So, are you going to take me into the RedLamp District or not?"
The taxi driver harrumphed, then chuckled as put his cigar back in his mouth and flipped the lever to close the passenger door.
He caught Percy's gaze in the mirror again. "I sure hope you know what you're doing, kid."
Percy leaned back, clutched her knapsack tightly to her chest, and sighed. Yeah, so do I.

I lost my job a couple of weeks ago. The new franchise owners thought we
weren't making enough money and it had to be someone's fault. Since it
couldn't be the boss' niece, the one who performs the tests and works for
straight commission, it must be me, the one who was getting paid.
I sent out resumes and hit the standard online job postings. I happened
upon a short posting for a researcher at the recorder's office. A friend
told me that short postings (job only listed for 5 days) meant they
probably already had someone in house who wanted the job. But I applied
and got an interview. I just scraped by on the typing test, but did well
on the other tests, finishing all in about 40 minutes. The testing was
scheduled to take 2 hours. When I arrived for the interview they said no
one had ever finished the tests that quickly. We had a pleasant exchange,
but nothing in detail, so I assumed my friend was right, the job was
I got the call this morning and I start Monday! Can you believe it? More
money, great hours, pleasant people, engaging work, retirement plan, and
insurance. And they wanted ME. I wasn't too old or too fat or not good
enough in some way. Maybe it's an omen. Good things come in 3s you
know. Mick will be fine. and I don't care what the third thing is.

text: PARIS, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hauppauge Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAUP), the leading developer and manufacturer of HD video recorders, is launching its latest video recorder, HD PVR Rocket, at Paris Games Week in Paris, booth 3H59. HD PVR Rocket records video game play from PlayStation, Xbox and PC gaming systems in high definition up to 1080p. The HD PVR Rocket is the ultimate portable video recorder: it is small enough to fit in your hand and weighs just 4.6 oz (130 grams). The HD PVR Rocket has a built-in audio mixer and has a USB port where a gamer can plug a USB thumb drive to record game play. A 16 Gbyte USB thumb drive, when plugged into the HD PVR Rocket, can record 4 hours of video game play at an HD resolution of 1080p. The HD PVR Rocket follows the HD PVR 2, which was introduced in September 2012. While being the highest quality video game recorder on the market, the HD PVR 2 requires a PC or Mac to store video recordings. However, the all new HD PVR Rocket is standalone and does not require a PC for making recordings. "Many of our gaming customers asked for a high quality game recorder which was portable. The HD PVR Rocket can be carried to gaming events to record game play and game commentary, and does not need a PC or Mac for recording," said Ken Plotkin, President of Hauppauge. The HD PVR Rocket also has a built-in audio mixer so that gamers can record game commentary along with game audio. Game commentary is used by professional gamers to describe their game moves and strategies, and is one of the most widely used features in high definition video game recorders. A microphone can be plugged into the microphone jack mounted on the front of the HD PVR Rocket, and the built-in audio mixer will record game audio and game commentary. HD PVR Rocket has a control panel which allows gamers to adjust the volume of the microphone.

Another one for your list: The doc object method exportDataObject is not supported in Reader 6, but it was supported in Reader 5.1. Obviously another security thing, but I would really appreciate it if Adobe made a complete list of methods/properties that were available in Reader 5, that are now not available in Reader 6. There is a list of items on page 405 of the new Javascript manual, but it's not reflective of Reader - just the changes made to the methods/properties. There are also icons above some of these methods/properties, but I don't think some of them tell the complete story.
It would be nice to have a concise list of just the methods/properties that have been removed from Acrobat Reader 5.1's capabilities.

text: I think the title pretty much says it all. I'm pretty confident there won't be issues, but I figured I'd ask and see if anybody knew more than I do. I'm looking for a performance All-season and there's pretty much nothing available in the 195/40 size that Ford suggests. Dedicated winter tires are not an option, by the way; I'm in the Los Angeles area and getting to anywhere with snow means at least a 40mi freeway drive in 50-70 degree temps. I can always choose not to go to the ski resorts if the weather is too bad too, I just need something that I can legally drive up the mountains with. (They have chain checkpoints and won't let you up the hill without them during the winter, even if it's bone dry and they're just sitting in the trunk.)

Egyptian Sphinx Bracelet
Designed by:
Difficulty: Intermediate
Cut a piece of wire approx. 40cm long and thread on one part of the toggle clasp. Thread both ends through a crimp bead and attach to the clasp. Cover with a crimp cover.
Sort through your glass mix to make sure you have enough similar beads to complete your bracelet - each mix differs so it's best to check this before you start. Look for some matching pearls in around 8mm (I used 4 of these) and some matching pearls in around 4mm ( I used 12 of these).
Thread both ends of wire through an 8mm pearl. Now separate the ends and add a seed bead to each, followed by a 4mm pearl and a firepolished bead on each strand. Now thread one end through each of the holes on the pyramid bead.
Keeping the 2 ends separate, add the following beads to each: 1 pearl bead and 1 seed bead. Then bring the strands together and thread both through a firepolished bead. Separate the ends again and add 1 seed bead and 1 pearl bead to each strand before threading on the pyramid bead.
Repeat step 4 another 3 times but vary the beads if you wish. You will need to add the seed beads to make sure you don't see any of the wire as you bring the 2 pieces together.
After the 5th pyramid bead add the following beads to each strand: 1 1 x firepolished bead, 1 x 4mm pearl, 1 seed bead. Now bring the strands together and thread through an 8mm pearl. Crimp to the other side of the clasp and cover with a crimp cover.

Abortion, sometimes known as a 'termination of pregnancy,' is the medical process of ending a pregnancy to ensure that it does not end in the birth of a baby. Women have abortions for many reasons, including personal circumstances, a risk to the mother or a high chance that the baby will have a serious genetic or physical abnormality.

Kyle's Korner ….
It was good to see WVU retire Bruce Bosley's No. 77. Bosley earned consensus All-America honors in 1955 for the Mountaineers as a two-way tackle.
He was selected as the AP National Player of the Week following WVU's 19-14 upset of Penn State in 1954
Bosley teamed with fellow linemen Sam Huff and Gene "Beef" Lamone to help West Virginia to a 31-7 record, including a 3-1 mark against Penn State and two wins over Pitt. He was a key member of West Virginia's 1954 Sugar Bowl team that finished with an 8-2 record and a Southern Conference championship.
A second-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 1956, he went on to become an immediate starter for the 49ers at defensive end. He moved to offensive guard and then to center in 1962, where he excelled and was a 49er team captain in 1967 and 1968. He finished his playing career with the Atlanta Falcons in 1969.
… The next number I would like to see retired at WVU is No. 5, Pat White. He was one of the best in recent years to suit up for the Mountaineers. The speedy White was a threat to run or pass from his quarterback position. He rushed for 4,480 yards and 47 touchdowns while playing for WVU. He passed for more than 6,000 yards in his career.
White won four bowl games as QB for WVU including big wins in the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls.
There are plenty of great former Mountaineers and I'm sure in the future more will have their numbers retired.
… According to multiple sources, WVU has a commitment from flashy point guard Jordan McCabe, from Kaukauna, Wisconsion.
He is Coach Bob Huggin's first commitment for 2018.
The 5-foot-11 "ball handling whiz" from Kaukauna, Wisc., chose the Mountaineers over offers from Minnesota, Missouri, DePaul and others.
Other Power Five programs such as Purdue, Marquette, Iowa and Iowa State have expressed interest in McCabe, who led his team to a state championship last March as a sophomore.
ESPN rates McCabe a four star prospect while Rivals, 247Sports and Scout give him three stars.
… According to the Metro News Sports Rivals website three-star cornerback Chris Hunt committed to the Mountaineers last Sunday, becoming the 14th pledge for 2017.
The senior, who transferred last spring to Bishop Sullivan Catholic High in Virginia Beach, Va., also holds offers from East Carolina and UNC-Charlotte. At 6-foot-1 and 163 pounds, he was on the standby lists for programs like Virginia Tech, Duke, Tennessee and North Carolina.
Hunt visited Morgantown for a game in 2015 and he returned in June when his new high school team won the 7-on-7 title at West Virginia's camp.
… Injuries continue to plaque the WVU football team in pre-season practice. Four-star recruit Brendan Ferns, poised to serve as West Virginia's middle linebacker after an impressive preseason camp, was lost for the season to a torn ACL, the school confirmed Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier WVU lost standout junior safety and NFL prospect Dravon Askew-Henry, who sustained a knee injury last week. Reserve nose tackle Jaleel Fields was lost to a torn ACL this summer.
… The big Cardinal Conference scrimmage will be held this Saturday at Scott High School in Madison. Mingo Central will take on Logan at around 5:00 p.m.
… Condolences to the family of Don Rouse, who passed away earlier this week. Big Don was a fixture around the Williamson Fieldhouse and a former youth sports coach. He was also a high school baseball umpire for many years. He will be missed by his three sons Don, Robbie and John.

Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA
Tumors of the pulmonary arteries are often incorrectly diagnosed as pulmonary thromboembolism, and are thus seldom diagnosed during a patient's lifetime. We report a patient with a choriocarcinoma mimicking pulmonary embolism, who required pulmonary embolectomy and had remission with chemotherapy thereafter.
A 27-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnea and mild hemoptysis. She had one previous molar pregnancy. The initial chest radiographs was unremarkable. She was treated for bronchitis; however, her symptoms became worse. The subsequent chest radiographs showed a bilateral diffuse lower lobe infiltrative shadows. On admission, she was hypoxemic with resting O2 sat of 88%. The chest enhanced CT showed a filling defect at left pulmonary artery (LPA) [Fig 1]. After negative evaluation for the source for the pulmonary emboli and multiple ovarian varices, a choriocarcinoma was considered because her prior molar pregnancy. Pulmonary embolectomy was done. A whitish, thrombus was found occluding the MPA and extending into the LPA. The embolus was removed. Pulmonary arterial pressure dropped from 80 to 50 mm Hg immediately after the operation. However, the patient required ventilator support for subsequent respiratory failure. Microscopically, the specimens showed "syncytiotrophoblastic cells". [Fig 2]. After a diagnosis of pulmonary artery choriocarcinoma was made, a serum HCG values was > 80,000 mIU/mL, and a gynecologic examination was performed. After a 6-month period of chemotherapy, the residual lung tumor decreased in size and lung fields of the chest radiographs became almost clear.DISCUSSION: Choriocarcinoma is a germ cell tumor containing syncytiotrophoblastic giant cells and often secreting a biological tumor marker. (β-HCG). It usually occurs in women. Development of pulmonary choriocarcinoma can come from retained primordial germ cells, metastasis from a primary gonadal tumor that regressed spontaneously, trophoblastic emboli related to molar pregnancy after long periods of latency or metaplasia to the trophoblast from a non-gonadal tissue, such as primary lung cancer. The natural history of untreated choriocarcinoma is characterized by the development of early hematogenous metastases. Some of the vagaries of this tumor have attracted attention, and failure to find a primary growth in the uterus, even on careful microscopic examination, is not infrequent. A few cases of primary choriocarcinoma have been reported1. However, this is the second patient who underwent pulmonary embolectomy and was treated with subsequent chemotherapy after a confirming pathologic diagnosis2. However, although rare, choriocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fertile women presenting with pulmonary embolism or pulmonary artery hypertension. Furthermore, Savage et al3 emphasized the importance of considering choriocarcinoma and measuring serum hCG in the investigation of fertile women presenting with pulmonary emboli or pulmonary artery hypertension. In our case, choriocarcinoma was not diagnosed in an early stage. However, chemotherapy was initiated as soon as the diagnosis was made and the patient responded positively, with serum β- HCG falling to within normal levels. Our results indicate that although rare, choriocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fertile women presenting with pulmonary embolism, because complete remission can be achieved with appropriate chemotherapy.
Choriocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fertile women presenting with pulmonary embolism. Due to their rarity, tumors of the pulmonary arteries are often incorrectly diagnosed as more common diseases, such as pulmonary thromboembolism, and are thus seldom diagnosed during a patient's lifetime.

Solar Bears Announce 'Out Of Hibernation' Schedule
ORLANDO, Fla. - The following is a press release from the Orlando Solar Bears.
Professional hockey returns to Orlando on Saturday, October 20th at 7pm when the Orlando Solar Bears host the defending ECHL champions and intrastate rivals, the Florida Everblades. Orlando opens their 72 game season with two games at the Everblades (Estero, FL) on Saturday, October 13th and Friday, October 19th before the home opener on Saturday, October 20th.
"The rivalry with the Everblades will be intense as we play each other 16 times (nine in Estero and seven at the Amway Center)" said Bob Ohrablo, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Partner of the Solar Bears. "This is a spectacular way to open the season."
In addition to the Everblades, the Solar Bears will play their South Division rivals, the Gwinnett Gladiators (Atlanta, GA) 12 times, as well as the South Carolina Stingrays (Charleston) and the Greenville (SC) Growl eight times each. The Solar Bears will bring the Orlando name to cities from Cincinnati, OH all the way to the southwest including Las Vegas, NV and Ontario, CA.
"The schedule sets up several situations where we play the same team 2-5 times in a row," explained Ohrablo. "This usually results in very entertaining hockey games."
The Solar Bears schedule combines family friendly ticket prices (60% of the lower bowl is priced at $15 or less) with family friendly dates. Games scheduled at the Amway Center include five (5) Fridays, ten (10) Saturdays, nine (9) Sundays, a Martin Luther King Day matinee game (Monday, January 21st at 3pm), six (6) Thursdays, three (3) Wednesdays and one (1) Tuesday. Of the Monday-Thursday games, four are scheduled around school holidays.
"We are quite pleased with the number of family / weekend nights assigned to us by the League. It was important to have a large number of Friday, Saturday and Sunday games for our fans," said Jason Siegel, President and Managing Partner of the Solar Bears. "In addition, the average ECHL game lasted two hours and 23 minutes (2:23) last season, so with our 7pm start times, we know families can get back home at a reasonable time after the games. We appreciate all of the assistance provided by our partners at the ECHL, the Orlando Magic and at the Amway Center as we look towards the successful launch of our franchise."
Solar Bears games played Tuesday through Saturday will start at 7pm. Sunday and Monday, January 21st games will begin at 3pm.
The game schedule is subject to change.
The Orlando Solar Bears, the ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Minnesota Wild and AHL's Houston Aeros, are coming Out of Hibernation and will play 36 regular season home games at the Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal's 2012 Sports Facility of the Year, the Amway Center beginning October 20, 2012.

New Delhi, Oct.4 (ANI): The visiting Prince of Wales, Prince Charles met various Indian industrialists here on Monday and discussed climate change with the corporate heads during a Business and Leadership Symposium.
During his meet with the senior Indian business leaders, Prince Charles discussed ways to facilitate bilateral investment in low carbon areas between the UK and India.
FICCI President and Bharti Enterprises Vice President Rajan Bharti Mittal chaired a symposium on corporate leadership on climate change in the presence of the Prince of Wales, who is here in connection with the Commonwealth Games.
The participants discussed what role business leadership can play in developing a framework for promoting low carbon goods and services trade, according to a statement issued by the British High Commission.
The symposium was based on recent discussions held by the UK-India Business Leaders Climate Group (UKIBLCG).
On Sunday, President Pratibha Devisingh Patil and Prince Charles jointly inaugurated the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the national capital.

The temperature figures to be milder Saturday as the New York Red Bulls complete an unprecedented stretch of three afternoon home games in seven days by trying to end the Philadelphia Union's three-game win streak.
New York (10-5-5) opened this homestand Sunday with a 2-all draw with Seattle as temperatures hovered in the mid-80s. That was manageable compared to Wednesday's high of 106 degrees - the hottest July 18 ever recorded in New Jersey - during a 1-0 victory over Chicago.
"It was amazing," forward Thierry Henry said. "I never played in anything like this. It's the kind of day where you want to stay in the air conditioning and drink lots of water. You just do whatever you can."
The forecast Saturday is for the temperature to top out near 80 degrees during this game.
The Red Bulls improved to 6-0-3 at home Wednesday as Henry ended a four-game goal drought with his first since April 28. There was speculation that the French star would not play because of the heat and schedule, but he insisted on making himself available.
"The boss (coach Hans Backe) asked me if I wanted to play," Henry said. "I told him that I needed to play. I needed to get back into a rhythm, because I haven't been playing much lately. I'm getting better, but to get better, I need minutes."
Henry is tied for third in the league and second on the team with 10 goals, one behind Kenny Cooper - who has gone a season-high seven straight games without scoring.
Cooper did not start Wednesday and could be back in the lineup alongside Sebastien Le Toux, who has started his first two games with New York since being acquired last Friday from Vancouver.
Le Toux, who played for Philadelphia (6-9-2) from 2009-10, will be facing his former team for the second time after the Whitecaps and Union played a scoreless draw March 31.
"I already played one game with Vancouver in Philly so it was very special," Le Toux told the Red Bulls' official website. "But now it is here and it's going to be a memory."
The Union are seeking the franchise's first four-game win streak. They have lost in their previous two trips to Red Bull Arena and fell 3-2 at home to New York on May 13.
"It's going to be a tough game," defender Amobi Okugo told the Union's official website. "It's going to be a rivalry. We're going to try and get a result because we haven't had one there before. I know the guys in here are ready and excited about the challenge."
The Union did not have a mid-week MLS game, but fell 1-0 to English club Aston Villa on Wednesday. Coach John Hackworth used most of his starters in the first half before substituting liberally with an eye on Saturday's game.
"We built some momentum and we're going to continue in New York where it's a tough place to play," defender Sheanon Williams said. "They'll be ready to go and we're going to do our best to come up with points."

Kristin Renee Czyz, Calgary BASE Jumper, Dies After 5th Jump Of The Day
TWIN FALLS, Idaho — A Canadian BASE jumper has died after her parachute failed during her fifth jump off the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho.
Coroner Gene Turley identified the woman who died Friday evening as 34-year-old Kristin Renee Czyz, of Calgary.
Twin Falls County Sheriff Tom Carter says a BASE jumping expert is examining her parachute to see what went wrong. Carter says she was relatively inexperienced at BASE jumping and had completed about 40 jumps in her lifetime.
The Times-News says witnesses in boats near the bridge pulled Czyz from the Snake River and began CPR. They met emergency responders at a nearby dock where she was pronounced dead.
"Generally accidents at the bridge happen to people who are aggressive, pushing the limits, trying the things that are a little out of hand and that wasn't her at all."
Czyz wasn't the type to be reckless, said an instructor at Snake River Base Academy, the school where she learned BASE jumping.
"Generally accidents at the bridge happen to people who are aggressive, pushing the limits, trying the things that are a little out of hand and that wasn't her at all," Tom Aiello told Global News. "I don't know what jumping she was doing but I knew her personally and I would not expect her to do anything like that."
The death is the first BASE jump fatality at the Perrine Bridge this year. Last year, Bryan Turner, a Vancouver BASE jumper, died there when his parachute didn't open.
Perrine Bridge is the only man-made structure in the United States where BASE jumping is allowed daily without a permit.

If you ever watched Rocky the Flying Squirrel take to the air and thought you might want to try that someday, wingsuit flying could be the extreme sport for you. Nicknamed flying squirrel, bat, or birdman suits, wingsuits are specialized jumpsuits with extra fabric in between the arms and legs to allow for increased surface area, added lift, and the ability to glide over great distances. Think of it as horizontal skydiving! The sport is so extreme that only 20 people qualified to compete last October in the inaugural Wingsuit Flying World Championship in Zhangjiajie, China. Flyers jumped from Tianmen Mountain in Hunan Province, descending from a height of almost 5,000 feet, completing a loop, gliding about three-quarters of a mile, and then parachuting down to the finish line. The winner, now a world-record holder, completed the flight in just 23.41 seconds. Photo Credit: Redbull Click here to see more of The World's Most Extreme Sports Competitions
Cliff diving is one of those extreme sports that inspires foolhardy confidence in spectators: Watching divers take the plunge from a beachside bar might make you think—especially after a few margaritas—that you could do that too. But though they make it look easy, cliff diving is a sport of extreme precision and skill. Just check out the athletes at the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, who do much more than simply get from point A (the cliff) to point B (the sea). After diving from their perch of between 85 and 92 feet high, divers display their most difficult acrobatic twists, turns, and flips on the way down, reaching speeds of up to 53 mph. The 2013 World Series will bring divers to destinations as far-flung as the Azores, Rio de Janeiro, Wales, and Thailand. Photo Credit: Redbull
Rock climbing may seem like a challenge to some, but even the most daunting rock faces will offer friction to help you on your way up. Now imagine reaching similar heights on a vertical wall of ice—as slick and slippery as a skating rink turned on its side—using only two ice axes and crampons! The 2013 UIAA Ice Climbing World Tour brought daredevils to South Korea, Switzerland, Italy, Romania, and Russia to compete in both speed and lead competitions. Keep an eye out in 2014 when ice climbing will be showcased as a demonstration sport at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, with the hopes of eventually having it join the games as an official medal sport.

Street luge got its start, as you might have guessed, on the streets of Southern California, when skateboarders decided to trade in all their tricks for one simple goal: go faster! To become more aerodynamic, they decided to lie down on their boards, mimicking lugers in the process. Once a part of the X Games, competitive street luging is now governed by the International Gravity Sports Association. The 12th annual world championship will be held this November in Teutonia, Brazil, on what is widely considered the fastest downhill skateboarding track in the world. Perhaps this is where the current record-breaking speed of 97.81 mph, set in 2008, will finally be broken. Photo Credit: Left: Top Skate Pro Teutonia; Right: Youtube/ Zeppelin840
The North Shore of Oahu is renowned for massive winter waves that attract some of the most daring surfers in the world. In 1978, the notoriously rough surf claimed the life of Eddie Aikau, a lifeguard and big-wave rider who was lost at sea while rescuing fellow paddlers on a capsized Polynesian canoe. Since 1984, Waimea Bay has played host to a big-wave invitational in his memory. But the conditions have to be just right: Instead of a set competition date, there's a "holding period" between December and February, and the contest will only go on if waves reach a minimum face height of 40 feet. As a result, this exclusive event has only taken place eight times, with the last tournament being held in December 2009.

He is often thought of as a simple man and a straightforward painter but a new show of unseen works by LS Lowry reveals a far more complex character, one prone to depression and loneliness and darker sexual urges that some viewers may feel fit oddly with his much-loved image.
As Tate Britain prepares to open a major – and in the view of many, long overdue – exhibition appraising his work, the arts centre which bears his name in Salford is putting more than 120 works that have never been seen in public on display.
A series of sexualised mannequin drawings are the most surprising among the works. Lowry was no lothario. In fact there is no record of him ever having a relationship with women or men beyond friendship. "He talked about everything in his life, but he never talked about that," said Michael Simpson, the Lowry's head of galleries.
Which might lead you to think he was asexual, until you see the drawings from the last years of his life of young girl dolls with short skirts, tight waists and exposed breasts. The drawings are definitely leery and sometimes have a vaguely sado-masochistic edge to them, with one girl being punished in stocks.
"They get more and more about discipline and control," said Simpson. "I can't believe they were ever meant for public exhibition, but at the same time when he died he must have known they'd be uncovered and people would look at them.
"Lowry always described himself as a simple man but you see things like this and of course he's not. He's as complex as the rest of us. These are works that to some degree shock people, some degree upset people and to another degree seem like just the ramblings of an old man."
That last theory is arguably convincing when you factor in that Lowry was born in 1887, the end of the Victorian age. For someone of his generation, "the 1970s must have been a fairly extraordinary period to be living through", Simpson said.
The works could also reflect the fact that his favourite ballet, which he saw many times, was Coppelia, the story of a mad dollmaker who brings life to his doll.
Visitors will come to their own conclusions, the gallery believes, but anyone thinking Lowry is all about nostalgia, a reflector of simpler, gentler times, is likely to be surprised. Bleak, desolate seascapes reflect the depressions he went through. "He was very up front and talked about just what a struggle he found life sometimes," said Simpson.
Part of Lowry's isolation and loneliness arose from nursing his bedridden mother for most of the 1930s, working as a rent collector by day and looking after her at night.
After her death in 1939 and the second world war, his feelings became more noticeable in the empty seascapes that Lowry talked about in terms of the ebb and flow and immensity of life. "You get the sense that life was just swamping him at that time."
The show also contains the unexpectedly surreal, drawings that have seals and sharks and fish. "I kind of wonder what medication he was on with some of them," said Simpson.
Very early life drawings and portraits from the 1920s may surprise his doubters. They are actually very good. "One of the statements I always hear is that he couldn't draw, but these show he was a perfectly acceptable draftsman. He had the basic skills, and you look at some of the portraits and I think: 'Show that to 100 people and 99 would not guess it was Lowry.'"
All the works have been in storage since Lowry died in 1976. They were cleared from his chaotically overfilled house in Mottram in Longdendale, and have been in the hands of the Lowry estate, under the stewardship of Carol Lowry – no relation, but someone whom Lowry bonded with because he thought she had potential as an artist.
The centre is staging the show in part because it is heavily depleted of Lowry's catalogue, with so many works sent to London for the Tate Britain show.
Simpson hopes it will be a counterpoint, that it will show the more complex side of an artist who still polarises opinion, hugely popular on the one hand but derided by much of the art establishment on the other.
• Unseen Lowry is at the Lowry in Salford 22 June-29 September
• This article was amended on 24 June 2013. An earlier version said the works in the exhibition had been cleared from Lowry's house in Pendlebury. They were cleared from the house in Mottram in Longdendale where he was living when he died.

Eversheds set to red card sloppy partners" /> Eversheds has taken a leaf out of the Football Association's rule book and is set to introduce a yellow and red card scheme to spur partners into tightening up their lockup performance.
The new scheme will see partners receive a yellow card if bills are not sent out in reasonable time. In a slight departure from football rules, if partners continue to fail to bill, they will get a second yellow and finally a red card, which will see an equity partner's drawings being withheld or a fixed-share partner's bonus cut until a bill has been sent to the client.
Eversheds chief executive David Gray told The Lawyer: "The scheme will also help give partners more of a commercial focus in their practices, which will improve the overall efficiencies in the business and provide a smoother service to clients." Gray, who has a long-term aim to reduce Eversheds' lockup to double-digits, added that currently it is in line with the professional average of 110 days, which he believes is not good enough in light of the bleak economic forecast.
He explained that the firm's current drawings arrangement sees equity partners effectively receive half of their profit share in the first year, with the balance being paid each quarter over the following year. "Under the cards scheme, if a partner has a red card that quarter's balance simply will not be paid," said Gray.
Eversheds decided to launch the scheme after consulting the partnership last November. Implementation on a department-wide basis was rejected as it was felt that a whole group should not have to suffer for one partner's actions.
Gray said: "The scheme has the support of the partnership as it should be a priority to get paid for services we've provided. After all, we're not a charity."

Liberals Mull Public Pension Funds To Help Pay For Infrastructure
OTTAWA — The federal government has identified a potential source of cash to help pay for Canada's mounting infrastructure costs — and it could involve leasing or selling stakes in major public assets such as highways, rail lines, and ports.
A line tucked into last month's federal budget reveals the Liberals are considering making public assets available to non-government investors, like public pension funds.
The sentence mentions "asset recycling," a system designed to raise money to help governments bankroll improvements to existing public infrastructure and, possibly, to build new projects.

For massive, deep-pocketed investors like pension funds, asset recycling offers access to reliable investments with predictable returns through revenue streams that could include user fees such as tolls.
"Where it is in the public interest, engage public pension plans and other innovative sources of funding — such as demand management initiatives and asset recycling — to increase the long-term affordability and sustainability of infrastructure in Canada," reads the sentence in the new Liberal government's first budget.
Asset recycling is gaining an increasing amount of international attention and one of the best-known, large-scale examples is found in Australia. The Australian government launched a plan to attract billions of dollars in capital by offering incentives to its states and territories that sell stakes in public assets.
Asset recycling explained
Like the Australian example, experts believe monetizing Canadian public assets could generate much-needed funds for a country faced with significant infrastructure needs.
The Liberal budget paid considerable attention to infrastructure investment, which it sees as way to create jobs and boost long-term economic growth. The Liberals have committed more than $120 billion toward infrastructure over the next decade.
Proponents of asset recycling say enticing deep-pocketed investors to join in can help governments avoid amassing debt or raising taxes.
"Asset recycling is a way to attract private-sector investment into activities that were formerly, exclusively, in the public realm," said Michael Fenn, a former Ontario deputy minister and management consultant who specializes in the public sector.
"It's something that we should pay a lot of attention to and I'm really pleased to see the federal government is looking seriously at it."
"Asset recycling is a way to attract private-sector investment into activities that were formerly, exclusively, in the public realm."
Fenn serves as a board member for OMERS pension fund, which invests in public infrastructure around the world. He stressed he was not speaking on behalf of OMERS or its investments.
Two years ago, Fenn wrote a research paper for the Toronto-based Mowat Centre think-tank titled, "Recycling Ontario's Assets: A New Framework for Managing Public Finances."
In Canada, he said there have been a few examples that resemble asset recycling, including Ontario's partnership with Teranet to manage its land registry system and the province's more recent move to sell part of the Hydro One power company.
For the most part, Canada's big pension funds have been focused on international infrastructure investments because few domestic opportunities have been of the magnitude they tend to look for.
Strategy used by Ontario Liberals
"That money is going offshore, it's returning good returns for Canadians in the sense that the pension funds are making good returns, but it would be nice to be able to invest more of those funds in infrastructure in Canada," Fenn said.
Australia's asset recycling model has been praised by influential Canadians such as Mark Wiseman, president and CEO of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
"With growing infrastructure deficits worldwide ... we often reference this model with our own government and others as one to follow to incent and attract long-term capital," Wiseman said in prepared remarks of a September speech in Sydney to the Canadian Australian Chamber of Commerce.
The massive CPP Fund had $282.6 billion worth of assets at the end of 2015. Wiseman's speech noted more than 75 per cent of its investments were made outside Canada, including about $7 billion in Australia.

The Liberal government delivered its maiden budget Tuesday, March 22. A deficit of $29.4 billion in 2016-17, nearly three times the $10 billion promised during the fall election campaign, and a projected deficit of $17.7 billion in 2019-20 rather than the balanced budget that was promised in October. (Source: The Canadian Press)
One of the earmarks of the budget is a commitment to spending on aboriginal issues. This includes: - $2.6 billion over five years for primary and secondary education on First Nations reserves, including language and cultural programs, plus $969.4 million over five years for education infrastructure. - $1.2 billion over five years for social infrastructure for Aboriginal Peoples, including First Nations, Inuit and northern communities. - $10.4 million over three years for new women's shelters in First Nations communities, and $33.6 million over five years and $8.3 million ongoing for support services. - $40 million over two years for the inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls.

The Liberals will be changing the structure of Canada's child benefits, ending income splitting and other tax credits for families and parents. This means: - $10 billion more over two years for a new Canada child benefit, absorbing and replacing both the Canada child tax benefit and the universal child care benefit. Targeted to low and middle-income families, the government says the new benefit provides an average increase of nearly $2,300 in 2016-17. - An end to income splitting for couples with children, the children's fitness tax credit and the children's arts tax credit. Read more here (Source: The Canadian Press)
The government will spend $2.5 billion over two years on a suite of changes, including reducing the required work experience for new entrants and re-entrants; halving the two-week waiting period; extending a pilot project to allow claimants to work while collecting benefits; simplifying job-search requirements; and extending the benefit eligibility window in specific regions with a higher unemployment rate. (Source: The Canadian Press)
- $5.6 billion more in benefits to veterans and their families over five years, including a disability award that increases to $360,000, retroactive to 2006, and an earnings loss benefit to injured vets of 90 per cent of pre-release salary. The government is also re-opening nine veterans' service offices across the country and adding a 10th. - Planned National Defence purchases worth $3.7 billion — ships, planes and vehicles — are being deferred indefinitely.

The Liberals will spend $1.53 billion over five years to increase Canada student grants to $3,000 from $2,000 for low-income students, to $1,200 from $800 for middle-income students and to $1,800 from $1,200 for part-time students. $2 billion over three years is also earmarked for a new strategic investment fund for infrastructure improvements at colleges and universities, in partnership with provinces and territories.
The Liberals' green infrastructure plan includes: - $2.2 billion over five years in water and wastewater treatment and waste management - $2 billion over two years for a low-carbon economy fund - Over $1 billion over four years to support future clean technology investments - $345.3 million over five years to Environment and Climate Change Canada, Health Canada and the National Research Council to take action to address air pollution.

The marquee Liberal commitment to Syrian refugee resettlement could end up costing taxpayers close to $1 billion.

Last month, Wiseman was named to Finance Minister Bill Morneau's economic advisory council, which is tasked with helping the government map out a long-term growth plan. The council also includes Michael Sabia, the CEO of Quebec's largest public pension fund, the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec.
In a prepared speech last month in Toronto, Sabia said financial institutions like pension plans have tremendous potential to drive growth through infrastructure investment. For the investor, Sabia added that infrastructure offers stable, predictable, low-risk returns of seven to nine per cent.
Asset recycling has also raised concerns.
Just another word for privatization?
Andrew McNeill, a researcher for one of Canada's biggest unions, believes it's basically another name for privatization, which he says has negative connotations.
Australia's asset recycling model is being pushed "very aggressively by companies that profit from privatization," said McNeill, who works for the National Union of Public and General Employees.
He has concerns governments will use the scheme to generate short-term financial injections for political gain. McNeill also said the model could eventually mean lower wages for workers.
A spokeswoman for Morneau's office was asked about Ottawa's interest in asset recycling, but she referred back to the budget and said there was nothing new to add on the issue, for the moment.

Two train stations taking buyers on a journey
The first of 2,000 new homes on once-blighted railway lands behind King's Cross station will be ready before the 2012 Olympics.
An entire new district (67 acres, with its own postcode - N1C) is being built: 50 new streets and "home zones", 10 landscaped squares, revitalised canal banks, retail and cultural space - eight million sq ft in total.
'King's Cross is changing beyond recognition; property in this area could outperform the wider London market'
The area will provide 50 art and music venues. In September, University of Arts, which includes Central Saint Martins College, will move to a new campus for 4,500 students at the site. Already King's Cross is being touted as a new venue for London Fashion Week.
Historic buildings, including listed railway sheds, are being restored, and the scheme will have its own heating and electricity generation plant, boosting its green credentials. The £5 billion project includes transformation of King's Cross train station itself.
Homes are even being created within the structure of the listed Victorian gas holders. Other apartment buildings will have rooftop allotments and there will be four-bedroom houses, called Lifetime Homes, reflecting the new emphasis on family living rather than small flats for the buy-to-let market.
About 40 per cent of the homes are "affordable", a mix of shared ownership and rented units. The first 284 of these new homes will be released for sale later this year. To register, visit onehousinggroup.co.uk.
Prices have yet to be fixed. Before the credit crunch, estate agent Hamptons predicted values of about £800 a sq ft for the private homes. For more details, and to register for these, visit kingscrosscentral.com.
"What's happening at King's Cross is awesome; the place is changing beyond recognition and we think property in this area will outperform the wider London market over the medium term," says Carl Schmid of estate agent Fyfe Mcdade.
York Way runs between the station and Battlebridge Basin, where canalside warehouses such as Ice Wharf have been turned into trendy lofts (resales from £450,000). A former engineering yard next to the station has become Regent Quarter, a smart enclave of homes, design studios and small business premises in cobbled courtyards.
Cube KX in King's Cross Road is a smart new-build scheme of 14 flats. Prices from £335,000. Call 020 7613 4044.
Quaint but neglected Georgian streets off Gray's Inn Road, just south of King's Cross station, where New York art deal Larry Gargosian has opened an art gallery, are also improving. One-bedroom rentals on Leeke Street start at £440 per week. Call Hurford Salvi Carr on 020 7250 1012.
Two-bedroom flats at Caledonia, a pub conversion on Market Road, cost from £499,995. Call Winkworth on 020 7485 9210.

Andrew Garfield treated Batkid to a day at Disneyland on Monday (03.03.14) to make up for the fact they didn't get to appear together at The Oscars the previous night.
The 'Spider-Man' star took the budding superhero - real name Miles Scott, who is currently recovering from cancer and made headlines when officials across San Francisco rallied to make him the sidekick of fictional superhero Batman for a day - to a fun time at the theme park after a segment they rehearsed together for the Oscars was cut.
A spokesperson for the Academy Awards told E! News: "Due to the nature of a live show, hard decisions sometimes must be made which require the Academy to cut segments due to the logistics of production.
"Andrew Garfield understood that his segment had to be omitted, and he drove to Disneyland on Monday to spend time with Miles Scott, Batkid, and his family."
Andrew and his girlfriend Emma Stone were both absent from the awards show last Sunday (02.03.14), and Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, stepped in for a shorter introduction to the segment instead.
Natalie Scott, Miles' mother, said: "I don't know if they ran out of time, or if there was something about the segment they didn't like.
"It got pulled so quickly that we didn't have a lot of insight into what was going on.
"It is kind of a disappointment, but things happen. I know that's how TV goes and how Hollywood is."
