About Human Space Flight
What We Know About Human Space Flight Today
Travel in space exposes the human body to a very different environment from that on Earth. Soon, many more people than ever before will be making brief recreational and scientific flights into suborbital space just above Earth's atmosphere, while nations around the world also plan for longer manned trips deeper into space to explore and utilize the Earth's moon, asteroids, or even other planets and their moons. These opportunities mean that we need to learn more about how the human body responds to the space flight environment so that we can anticipate health problems, both during flight and upon return to Earth. We also need to understand how to design vehicles, habitats and spacesuits and how to create and train teams of people to encourage the success of these human missions into space.
We've known that the body of the astronaut changes in multiple, complex ways during space flight since the early days of space travel, and much more will be learned over the next 10 years as we continue to observe astronauts living and working on the International Space Station, which is currently orbiting Earth. Soon after arriving in space, the human sensory-motor system (which provides our balance and sense of spatial orientation) and cardiovascular system (the heart and blood vessels) alter to accommodate the new sensations and the head ward fluid shift that occurs in the weightless environment; thus the astronaut can feel dizzy and motion sick and have head congestion. As the flight gets longer, bones and muscles can get weaker, because they are no longer being exercised by supporting the bodys weight. The immune system (which helps your body fight off infection) also weakens, making astronauts more likely to get sick if they are exposed to a virus or bacteria. Exposure to high levels of radiation in space could lead to a higher risk of getting cancer, especially after a long flight, or radiation sickness during even a short flight. In addition, altered light and dark cycles as you orbit the Earth or another planet, and altered sleep patterns due to the strange new environment, can cause sleep deprivation, which, coupled with the stress associated with being far from Earth, busy schedules, confined conditions, and the small number of people one interacts with day after day, can lead to errors and changes in behavior. Some of the physical and behavioral changes occurring during space flight may also cause further difficulties upon return to Earth.
We already have many countermeasures (solutions to the problems) to help minimize the hazards of spaceflight to the human being, such as some remote medical care; a nutrition and exercise program; thoughtfully-designed vehicles, spacesuits, mission plans and tasks; training before spaceflight; Earth-space communications systems; and in flight entertainment. Unfortunately, we still do not clearly understand how and when space affects the human body or the long-term effects of space flight on human health after mission completion. Without that understanding, it is difficult to find the most effective countermeasures to the hazards of human spaceflight and the methods for medical care in the event of an accident or other in flight medical emergency. Thus, future human exploration of space to new destinations and for new purposes will require that we learn about the space environment, the effect space has on the human body, and new vehicles and equipment to allow us to go there.
Past human space exploration has influenced the thinking of scientists, politicians, artists and the general public and has lead to new discoveries and products. Now it is time to ask you — What is the future of human space exploration and why is it important?

Brad Paisley plays surprise club gig after Chicago concert
Listen to Brad Paisley on iHeartRadio
Brad Paisley's opener Charlie Worsham says their impromptu concert at a Chicago club is "what music is supposed to be."
After playing their scheduled concert in south suburban Tinley Park Saturday night, Brad, Charlie, and other openers Randy Houser and Leah Turner went into the city and gave an after-show performance at Joe's Bar that CMT.com describes as a "jam session/cover song party."

Charlie tells CMT it was "so exhilarating to be on stage with other artists with absolutely no plan whatsoever." He adds that the audience was great, explaining that they were "loud and rowdy and didn't care what time it was."
Paisley and company began their second show at 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning, and played for a little over two hours. The four of them performed together, taking turns taking the lead on such songs as "Tulsa Time," "You Shook Me All Night Long," and "Sweet Home Chicago."
Worsham later tweeted:
that was the ultimate bar gig! @joesbar with Brad, Randy, Leah, friends, pickers, etc.. and REEEEEAALL REAL covers!!!

classicist James Romm writes that we have replaced head-to-head competition with collaboration and self-expression.
Shortly before his death in 1882, Charles Darwin received a letter from a physician and classicist named William Ogle.
An Oxford-trained classicist, he was elected president of the Oxford Union, a post filled by several future premiers.
If you become an engineer, you will not condemn the classicist as useless.
He was a classicist who caught the new vision and sought to compromise.
In his study of men of science Ostwald has introduced the distinction of classicist and romanticist.
Stendhal has written that a classicist is a dead romanticist.
And, when we come to thePg 93 sub-divisions of literature, we note that he was pre-eminently a classicist.
There the classicist was the artistic aristocrat because the Calvinist was the spiritual aristocrat.
The Aldrich of the later years became more and more an artist, a seeker for the perfect, a classicist.

Vitamin D is intended to provide nutritive support for enhancing Calcium absorption and metabolism. Nature's Life Calcium SupplementsNature's Life offers a wide variety of calcium-rich dietary supplements in tablet, capsule and liquid form to help: Build strong, dense bones. Aid in the development and maintenance of healthy teeth. Support normal function of the cardiovascular system. Support a healthy pregnancy. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Of the two to three pounds of calcium in the average body, 99 percent is stored in the bones and teeth. The remaining one percent plays a crucial role in muscle contraction, blood clotting, regulation of blood pressure, nerve transmission and other body processes. Building Strong BonesOsteoporosis, a degenerative bone disease caused by long-term loss of calcium from the bones, affects approximately 28 million Americans. The most common symptoms of osteoporosis are brittle bones in the hip joint, or spine. Osteoporosis can affect anyone, but for every man who develops osteoporosis, eight women develop the bone disease. The risk of osteoporosis is higher in Caucasian and Asian women. Besides age, many lifestyle choices can lead to bone loss, such as smoking, drinking caffeinated beverages and lack of exercise. The importance of calcium in building and maintaining strong bones and teeth is probably its most beneficial role. A healthy skeleton is what allows us to stand upright and provides a strong foundation for the muscles that give us movement. Bones are in a constant state of flux. In a process known as modeling, minerals contained in bones are reabsorbed into the body and a new supply of minerals then reforms the bones. A constant supply of nutrients, including calcium, are needed for this modeling process of bones. Calcium is bound within the bone matrix, but can be moved in and out of the bones if blood levels of calcium drop. Conversely, if calcium blood levels get too high, the bones absorb a portion of the excess. This allows blood calcium levels to remain very stable. Preventing or slowing bone loss is considered a crucial part of avoiding osteoporosis. Adequate calcium during childhood and the teenage years is important for building strong, dense bones. During the middle years of life, optimal calcium intake slows the natural loss of calcium from the bones. And in later years, especially for women after menopause, calcium intake can inhibit the rapid bone loss common to this stage of life. Calcium is more effective in maintaining healthy bones when used with other minerals, such as magnesium, copper, manganese and zinc. These trace elements are essential in bone metabolism. Calcium and the Cardiovascular SystemCalcium is a crutial element in the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Optimal calcium intake helps maintain normal blood levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-the "bad" cholesterol). Calcium also plays a role in blood pressure regulation. When the calcium intakes of adults are compared to their blood pressure, those with higher calcium intakes are more likely to have healthier blood pressure. Pregnancy: A Special Time for CalciumCalcium requirements increase during pregnancy and lactation since the mother needs nutrients for herself, as well as for her baby. In response to this higher need, the gastrointestinal tract increases its absorption of calcium, but dietary intake should increase as well. High blood pressure, fluid retention and other similar conditions occur in approximately one in ten pregnancies. The health of the mother and baby can be seriously compromised when these conditions continue unchecked. According to research, pregnant women with a high calcium diet (2 grams daily), compared to pregnant women with a lower calcium diet (640 mg daily), are more likely to maintain normal blood pressure during their pregnancy. However, supplemental calcium intake during pregnancy should be limited to 1,500 mg daily, since higher levels can increase the risk of kidney stones, (another condition of increasing incidence during pregnancy). Other research suggests that pregnant women who take calcium supplements are more likely to have a full-term delivery. A preliminary study of pregnant teen-agers, a group at higher risk for pre-term deliveries, showed that a daily 1,500 mg calcium supplement helped normalize blood pressure and decreased the likelihood of premature birth, without leading to any adverse side effects. Some women experience an increase of blood pressure during pregnancy, however, women taking calcium supplements during pregnancy are 36% less likely to experience abnormal blood pressure. Calcium "Robbers"The typical American diet contains several nutrients and compounds which adversely affect calcium levels in the body. Most Americans consume two to three times the necessary daily requirement for protein. Some researchers even speculate that excessive protein, rather than inadequate calcium, is a more significant contributor to loss of bone density. Weight-bearing exercise helps maintain strong bones and the lack of exercise leads to rapid calcium loss from bones. The typical American diet is also high in phosphorus from soft drinks and other processed foods. A higher intake of calcium may be necessary to compensate for a high-protein or high-phosphorus diet. Phytonutrients called oxalates and phytates found in some grains and vegetables reduce the bioavailability of calcium. In addition, frequent use of aluminum-containing antacids can increase the loss of calcium. Supplemental Calcium: Safety ConsiderationsCalcium is safe up to 2 grams per day, but toxic effects can develop when more than several grams are taken daily. Symptoms of excessive calcium intake include: nausea; deposition of calcium into the soft tissues, such as kidneys and heart, and; impaired absorption of other minerals, such as iron and zinc. These symptoms are temporary and are relieved simply by reducing calcium intake. Individuals prone to developing calcium deposits in the kidneys have, in the past, been advised to limit their calcium intake, but new research suggests that the timing of calcium intake may be the real issue. According to the Nurses' Health Study, a diet containing plenty of high-calcium foods actually decreases the risk of calcium deposits in the kidneys. However, the women in this study with a high calcium intake resulting from calcium supplements increased their risk. The difference between dietary and supplemental calcium intake may be related to oxalates (a phytonutrient that is a common constituent of calcium deposits in the kidneys). When calcium is consumed at the same time as a meal rich in oxalates, the calcium inhibits the absorption of the oxalates. Calcium supplements are not always taken at the same time as a meal containing oxalates, which may account for why supplemental calcium did not protect against formation of calcium deposits in kidneys. Rather than forego calcium supplements, the researchers suggest that it is probably prudent to take calcium supplements with a meal, particularly lunch or dinner—meals which tend to have high oxalate contents. Lead In Calcium-Making It Safe: Minute amounts of lead are naturally present throughout the environment, including all foods and calcium supplements. Excess lead exposure, however, is a concern since large amounts of this naturally occurring mineral contribute to several health problems, especially in young children. The Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) at Nature's Life ensure that all of the calcium found in Nature's Life supplements have very low, and very safe, levels of lead (less than 1 ppm of lead or 1mcg/g; far less than the Federal standard). The low levels of lead in our products is demonstrated by the fact that the maximum amount of lead present in any Nature's Life calcium supplement is only 5% of the safe daily intake level for pregnant women, who are the most sensitive and at-risk individuals for lead exposure. Additionally, calcium actually inhibits the absorption of lead. As calcium intake increases, blood levels of lead have been reported to decrease. Calcium's Changing RDAsCalcium requirements change throughout life. Calcium needs are greatest during the times of rapid growth and development: childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, and lactation, as well as in later adult life to prevent excessive calcium losses. For adolescents the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for calcium ranges from 400 mg to 1,500 mg per day. According to the National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference, optimal calcium intake varies throughout life. Age Optimal Calcium Intake: Infant: birth - 6 months.....400 mg 6 months - 1 year.....600 mg Children 1 - 5 years.....800 mg 6 - 10 years.....800 - 1,200 mg Adolescents/Young Adults 11 - 24 years.....1,200 - 1,500 mg Adult Men 25 - 65 years.....1,000 mg 65+ years.....1,500 mg Adult Women Pregnant and Nursing.....1,200 - 1,500 mg 25 - 50 years.....1,000 mg 50+ years.....1,000 - 1,500 mg 65+ years.....1,500 mg Different Forms of CalciumLike all minerals, calcium is inorganic (not bound to carbon) and is usually bound to a carbon-containing compound to ensure its absorption into the body. Dietary supplements may contain several different forms of calcium. One of the main differences found between various calcium forms is the percentage of elemental calcium they provide. For instance, in the popular carbonate form, calcium accounts for 40% of the compound calcium carbonate. The following examples show common forms of calcium compounds and the percentage of elemental calcium in each. The greater the percentage of elemental calcium, the smaller the amount needed to obtain the desired amount of calcium. Form of Calcium % Elemental Calcium: Calcium (carbonate-purified)........ 40% Calcium (carbonate from oyster shell).......40% Calcium (bone meal)...... 32% Calcium (hydroxyapatite-veal bone meal)...... 32% Calcium (citrate).......24% Calcium (citrate/malate)......22% Calcium (dolomite)..... 21% Calcium (aspartate) 13% - 20% Calcium (ascorbate)... 10% Calcium (gluconate)..... 9% Absorption of CalciumThe percentage of elemental calcium is not the only difference between various forms of calcium; the absorption of calcium from foods or supplement sources is another factor to consider. Substantial research shows that supplemental calcium carbonate is at least as bioavailable as the calcium in milk. Milk and other dairy products are preferred sources of well-absorbed calcium. Research also shows that calcium citrate/malate has better calcium absorption than calcium carbonate. Other studies indicate that calcium absorption from several different supplement forms, including carbonate, acetate, lactate, gluconate, and citrate forms, are not significantly different from one another. Although the best absorbed form of calcium continues to be debated by researchers, it is widely accepted that the best time to take calcium supplements is with food.

Without probably meaning to do so John Travolta made Scientology seem even more creepy and desperate to keep their secrets secret. In an interview with The Telegraph John Travolta was asked how he got involved with Scientology and he tells a story about how a co-star was involved with the group and he performed an assist. It sounds more like what Travolta likes doing to masseurs, but whatever. Travolta said he wasn't feeling well and then after the assist from the guy started feeling better almost immediately. It's great that he now wants to assist so many others.
Surprisingly that is not even the creepy part of the interview. Remember after the death of his son Jett how there were lots of stories published that said Travolta was thinking of breaking from the organization because of its beliefs. Well, I'm guessing that many of those reports were probably true based on this quote from John.
"They were with me every day after Jett died. They even traveled with me when I needed to get away. And for a solid two years it was like that. It was only in the second year that I started to take a break of a day or two just to see how I was doing on my own."
So, umm his son died and they stuck to him like glue for two years. No matter where he went or what he did someone was there for two years. He had no time alone until the second year and then only for a day or two? Sounds more like a prison pass than helping him heal.

Men's Snowboarding slopestyle qualifiers at Sochi Olympics
It's no secret that the Canadians and Norwegians have some of the most promising Olympic slope teams. Well, after the debut of Olympic slopestyle today you can add the Finns to the list, too. Norway's Stale Sandbech qualified top among the first heat of riders, followed by Finland's Peetu Piiroinen, Canada's Seb Toutant, and, England's Jamie Nicholls, who pulled out a clutch Cab 1440. As for the concerns about the course being "dangerous", or not built right, most riders were happy with the adjustments that had been made to it, while the rest had at least come to terms with the setup.
Top Runs From The First Heat Of Riders Qualified To Finals
In heat two it was Canada's Max Parrot who took first, posting the highest score of the day, a 97.50 after stomping a huge backside triple cork to end his second run. Finland's Roope Tonteri picked up the second qualifying position, and behind him was Sweden's Sven Thorgren, and Norway's Gjermund Braaten. Those rankings put two Canadian's straight into the finals on Saturday, along with two Finns, and two Norwegians. That's a strong showing for team Norway, even though Torstein Horgmo's out of commission with a broken collarbone.
Top Runs From The Second Heat Of Riders Qualified To Finals
Wait, weren't six riders supposed to advance directly to finals after today's qualifiers? Originally, yes but early in the morning it was announced that four riders would move on from each heat, putting eight straight to the finals, while the remaining four would come from Saturday's semifinal. No official word on why the change was made.
Another curveball came to light this morning as well, when news spread that all of today's riders would advance to semifinals no matter how they placed. That's because no athlete can be eliminated from competition before the Olympics start, which isn't officially until tomorrow when the opening ceremonies take place. So the top four qualifiers from today will still go straight to finals, while everyone else gets a second chance.
That's good news for Mark McMorris who didn't qualify through to finals. Mark wasn't looking as confident as he normally is and his riding seemed more guarded, no doubt a side effect of the broken rib he suffered at X Games just two weeks ago. They say even if you've overcome a physical injury, it takes more time to heal mentally. But after falling during his first run on a Cab double cork 900 Mark focused and stomped a sick second run with his backside triple cork 1440 that scored surprisingly low.
"I landed one of the only legitimate triple corks of the day and I didn't even come close—It's pretty ridiculous," Mark said. "But it's judged sport, what can you do?"
As for the rib, Mark said that he didn't feel it all during his second run until the impact on the last jump. He added that now all he's focused on is making the final on Saturday. More on the judging here.
A shout out to British rider Billy Morgan who started everything off and took the first ever Olympic slopestyle run today. He also landed the first triple cork of the contest.
The men's gold medal slopestyle finals go down on Saturday.

Water pasteurization can help prevent some of the 4 billion illnesses and 2.2 million deaths due to diarrheal diseases that occur each year in the world. Children are especially susceptible, with 1.7 million deaths annually attributed to contaminated water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene. Worldwide, 1.1 billion people do not have adequate access to clean water.
Water pasteurization is a heating process that renders water safe for drinking by humans. At 65°C (149°F), all of the germs in water that can cause disease in humans are killed. At around 70°C (160°F), milk and other foods are pasteurized. Heating water to 65°C, instead of to boiling, produces safe water twice as fast whether solar or fuel energy is used.

English 101 – Spring 2009
Professor Jessica Mintz
Welcome English 101 students. I invite you to enjoy a new learning experience as we journey through this online course. Our focus will be on language – how to use it, read, it, analyze it, write it, and hopefully, come to a greater understanding of its power and influence in all that we do.
If you have taken an online class before, then you know how it works. You understand that the entire class is conducted without actually meeting face-to-face, that we have 'discussions' online, that assignments are submitted online (NOT via email), that the technology is durable, exciting, and flexible.
But for those of you who have never taken an online class before, the idea that we never sit in a classroom together, that you never see me 'lecture' at the front of the room, that no essays or assignments are actually 'handed' over to me, may all seem like a foreign concept. I suppose it's like explaining an ipod to someone from the 19th century: "Yeah, it's this little 3 inch plastic rectangle that holds hundreds of songs that you select by tapping the screen with your finger and then you listen through a head set."
Have no fear! If you can navigate through this 'Welcome Letter,' visit the Virtual Valley site on the LAVC homepage, find your username and password, take a quiz on the VV site to determine if you're ready for an online class (and you succeed), then you are good to go!
Remember, whether you're an online class pro or a relative beginner, please read this entire letter to understand some specifics of the class. Also, make sure you purchase the required textbooks before the class begins.
To start, you will want to know the structure of the class:
- The class is entirely on-line – there are no required on-campus meetings.
- The class will begin Feb. 9th through the ETUDES-NG website. The website and information on how to determine your username and password can be found at: http://www.lavc.edu/virtualvalley/studentLoggingInOnline.html.
- The most direct way to logon to the Etudes class is the following: www.etudesproject.org.
- This class will travel at the same pace as the in-person classroom sections. To keep up with the class and important announcements and discussions, you will need to log on regularly, if only for a short time to check in.
- An online class can be both challenging and exciting. You need to have and make the time to complete all the assignments, participate in discussions, and be open-minded to learning. You also need to be self-motivated and self-disciplined to succeed. If you want to determine if an online class is really for you, take the quizzes at: http://www.lavc.edu/virtualvalley/areyouready2.htm.
Next, here's what you need for an online class:
1. Make sure that you have easy and reliable Internet access.
2. Check to make sure that your computer system is adequate, that you have all the needed software and that your cache settings are correct. Even if you have taken an Etudes class before, please check your settings and make certain you are using only the recommended browsers and browser version.
To learn how to set up your computer browser please visit www.etudesproject.org and click on the "login" link on the upper right side of the page and then click on the link for "system requirements" on the left navigation bar.
You can also visit the LAVC Virtual Valley website at http://www.lavc.edu/virtualvalley/index.htm and click on the "Technical Information" link on the left.
For you Mac users, you will need to use only the recommended browsers or you will experience problems. (Please visit both sites listed above.)
Failure to set up your computer properly may result in problems in your formatting, loss of points on assignments, and impact your success in this class.
3. To read more about the logon requirements go to http://www.lavc.edu/Distance/etudes_login_tips.htm on the LAVC Virtual Valley website.
4. To learn more about Etudes and online classes go to the LAVC Virtual Valley website at http://www.lavc.edu/virtualvalley/index.htm and click on the link to FAQs. While you're on the site, check out the "Online Learning Success Tutorial," and the "Student Resource Page" link.
5. Have a back-up computer (know the computer lab locations on campus) in case of problems. Technical difficulties will not be an acceptable excuse for late or missed work.
6. Have a working email address that you check regularly.
7. If you have any technical issues, visit the Virtual Valley "Help Desk" page at http://www.lavc.edu/virtualvalley/helpdesk.htm where you can call or email to get help.
And finally, roll up your sleeves, watch your posture, set your hands to the keyboard and have a great time in the class. Here's how you begin once the class opens on Feb. 9th:
- Review all Announcements
- Read the Syllabus
- Review the Class Schedule for important due dates
- Familiarize yourself with the Modules (which contain the online lectures and important information)
- Review any open Assignments
Required Textbooks: You are required to purchase the two books before the class begins. They are available at the LAVC Bookstore, online through the LAVC Bookstore, or online through a vendor of your choice (for example, Amazon.com).
Language Awareness: Readings for College Writers (Ninth Edition) edited by Paul Eschholz, Alfred Rosa, Virginia Clark[Bedford/St. Martin's]

MALVERN, PA -- USA Technologies Inc. said it expects to realize net income for the first time in company history when it reports its final second-quarter results.
In its preliminary results for the second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2012, the cashless technology and telemetry provider expects total revenues to be in the range of $8.8 million to $8.9 million, a 29% increase over the same period in 2011.
Recurring revenues, comprised primarily of ePort Connect license and processing fees, are expected to represent approximately 83% of total revenues for the second quarter.
Total net connections added during the quarter are forecast to be approximately 12,000, an increase of 71% from the same period a year ago. These connections would reportedly bring USAT's total connected base to 186,000, a 37% increase from the comparable prior-year period.
"The USAT team has played a pivotal role in bringing cashless payment to the unattended market and this diligence is now paying off," said USAT chairman and chief executive Stephen P. Herbert.
He credited the company for taking "aggressive actions" a year ago to strengthen revenue, improve margins and reduce expenses to accelerate its path to profitability.
"Given these results and the recurring nature of the majority of our revenues, we believe non-GAAP net income is sustainable; therefore, as we have previously stated, we expect to achieve non-GAAP net income for the full fiscal year as well," concluded Herbert.

The Everett Silvertips once again find themselves in a fight for their playoff lives.
One month remains in the WHL's regular season, and the Tips are again in a position where they'll have to slug it out just to reach the postseason.
"Ever since I got here it's been like this, so it's nothing new," Tips overage winger Ryan Harrison said. "It's going to be a good race to the end, just like it has been here in Everett for a couple years."
Everett heads into the upcoming three-games-in-three-days, which begins tonight in Kelowna and continues with home games against Spokane and Seattle, in seventh place in the Western Conference. The Tips have 47 points, which is three ahead of eighth-place Seattle and five ahead of ninth-place Prince George. Everett and Seattle both have 15 games remaining, Prince George has 16 remaining. Eight teams make the playoffs.
The Tips are also in desperate need of a victory. Everett has dropped its past seven, which helped Seattle and Prince George inch closer.
"We sure can use a win," Everett general manager Garry Davidson said. "We need a big two points here. It will be very important to get two and try to get things turned around a little bit. it will be good for our psyche, but also good for trying to position ourselves to win the seventh or eighth playoff position."
The Tips had a chance to make their lives a lot easier down the stretch. Three weeks ago Everett had an opportunity to land a knockout blow when the Tips traveled to Prince George for a pair of games. Had Everett swept the Tips would have moved 13 points clear of the Cougars, creating a nearly insurmountable advantage. Instead, the teams split the games and the gap remained a bridgeable nine points.
Since then the race has tightened. The Cougars have picked up the pace, while Everett hasn't tasted victory since winning the first game in Prince George.
"It hasn't been easy lately," Harrison said. "When you lose seven in a row people are going to catch you. Obviously Seattle and PG are coming right behind us. But coming off the last game against Kelowna (a 3-2 home loss Sunday) we played pretty much a full 60 minutes."
This position a familiar one for the Tips. Everett had to go down to the final weekend of the regular season each of the past two years to determine its playoff fate. Both times the Tips squeaked into the eighth-and-final spot. Seattle and Prince George were involved with Everett in the previous two playoff battles, too.
"It's tightened up a little bit, but still there's some room there," Davidson said. "What we have to do is take care of our own business and win some games.
"I think we need to find the back of the net a little bit more," added Davidson, whose team has scored just six goals during the losing streak. "The other night we played a pretty good hockey game, but we still only scored two goals. We have to figure out how to get that third or fourth one."
The good news for Everett is that help is on the way.
The Tips have been severely short-handed during the losing streak, with as many as seven players sidelined because of injuries or illnesses. Everett had one game where it played two skaters short, and Davidson was left scrambling looking for players to call up to fill out the lineup.
But slowly the Tips are getting healthy again. Winger Tyler Sandhu, who missed the past four games because of a concussion, has been cleared to return tonight. No. 1 goaltender Austin Lotz, who sat out the past six contests with an ankle sprain, will also be back in uniform, though he won't play during the three-in-three unless absolutely necessary.
Leading scorer Joshua Winquist remains day to day because of an upper-body injury, and defenseman Austin Adam (mononucleosis) isn't expected back until next week. However, both participated in practice Wednesday on a limited basis.
"It's huge getting some healthy bodies back," Harrison said. "With all the young guys in our lineup, just getting some vets back will be huge to make our team that much better."
Winger Lucas Grayson (lower body) and defenseman Ayrton Nikkel (finger) remain out.
With players on the mend, the Tips returned winger Kyle Raymond and goaltender Adam Todd, who were called up over the weekend to fill out the lineup, to their teams.

The Rapids Supporters Terrace located behind the north goal allows the Centennial 38 Supporters Group a place to call their own. Flags, banners, musical instruments, singing and other passionate support of the team at home games will all be encouraged,making the Supporters Terrance the place to be for Colorado's most enthusiastic soccer fans. The Supporters Terraceis designed for adults. Younger fans may enter if they are accompanied by an adult. Although IDs will not be checked, this isintended to be an adult oriented section, general admission area.
- Smoking in designated areas.
- Drums and musical instruments – when brought into the stadium via the 3 step process listed below.
- Following the fan Code of Conduct.
- Adhering to PROHIBITED / RESTRICTED items.
- Following the SIGN, BANNER, and FLAG policy.
- Note that in the supporters terrace a fan may attach the flag to a 5' pole made out of ½" PVC pipe.
- Confetti – when thrown straight up into the air during a time of celebration.
- Smoking in the stands or terrace.
- Vuvuzelas, air horns, horns, or whistles.
- Standing on seats.
- Confetti – when thrown at the field, during the run of play, or at an individual, referee, player, staff, or anyone else.
- Visiting team jerseys of any kind.
We have created a three step process so HOME supporters can bring in special cheering items:
STEP 1 – At the beginning of the season supporter leaders will bring all supporter cheering items to the stadium. These are the items that are designed to live at the stadium for the entire season. These items will then be placed in the large garage (by the NE ramp) for storage and access on game day.
STEP 2 – On game day, supporter leaders will work with Argus Security to gain access into the garage to retrieve the cheering items. At the end of the game, supporter leaders will need to collect all cheering items and work with Argus Security to put the items back into storage in the garage. Anything left in the terraces is considered trash and will be thrown out.
STEP 3 – Miscellaneous, day of game cheering items. Dicks Sporting Goods Park and the Colorado Rapids understand that some supporter fans may have game specific cheering items they wish to bring to the stadium. 2 hours prior to kick off, 24 Hour security and the Rapids Director of Operations will swing by the tailgate area and collect these items. These items will be checked and the approved items will be brought by security to the supporter's terrace for that game. If the items are not checked in during this time the items will not be allowed in for that game. No exceptions. After the game, the owners of these items may store them with the other supporters cheering gear or they may take them home. Again, any items left on the terraces will be trash.

Mark Cuban wants Clippers owner punished, but removal "slippery slope"
(Dallas, TX) -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wants to see L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling punished, but isn't willing to back removing him from ownership. Cuban told reporters Monday people have to be "very careful" when they start making blanket statements about what people say and think. Cuban questioned whether the league would start removing people for homophobia, xenophobia, anti-semitism or disliking a particular religion, if they decide to kick Sterling out.
Still, he says there is no excuse to support racism. What Cuban does support is the maximum fine against Sterling and says he trusts NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will do what is best for the NBA. Sterling is accused of making racist remarks to his girlfriend in a tape which was released to TMZ. Silver is set to address the matter in a 2 pm Eastern time press conference

EVERETT — Opposing views on abortion were on display Saturday on the streets outside Everett's Planned Parenthood clinic.
Signs reading "Pray to end abortion" and "Honk 4 choice" mingled with chants and prayers around the facility entrance.
It was the second-to-last day of the spring vigil by local supporters of 40 Days for Life, a national campaign to stop abortion.
"We're not here to protest, but to pray," said local organizer David Graves, 44, of Arlington.
The campaign includes fasting, community outreach and maintaining a presence for 40 consecutive days outside facilities that provide abortions.
Saturday marked the third weekend that members of pro-choice group Seattle Clinic Defense have shown up in Everett to counter the 40 Days for Life campaign.
Shortly after noon, there were about 50 people on each side. Graves, from Atonement Free Lutheran Church, said the local 40 Days group has united about 30 churches for their cause. That's helped them maintain an all-day presence at the Everett Planned Parenthood location at 32nd Street and Hoyt Avenue.
Over the past few weeks, Graves said they have talked four people out of having abortions there, by providing information about free medical services and community support.
"When people find out they can get free ultrasounds, they're pretty excited about that," he said.
A yellow banner for Seattle Clinic Defense showed a red cross-out sign over a coat hanger.
The group's organizers opted to travel to Everett because the 40 Days movement is stronger here than in Seattle, said Elizabeth Fawthrop, 26, of Seattle.
"We came up here where we're more needed," Fawthrop said.
Their goal is to support Planned Parenthood patients and staff.
"We think they're a completely legitimate health-care facility and provide an important service to the community," she said.
The local 40 Days for Life group since 2007 has organized Everett vigils outside Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood operates facilities through the U.S. focusing on reproductive health. One of its main goals is preventing unwanted pregnancies.
The 40 Days vigil is scheduled to end today, on Palm Sunday.

WASHINGTON -- The Electronic Transactions Association and the organizers of the annual Mobile Contactless Payment Innovations (MCPI) conference have partnered to launch Mobile Payment Innovations. The one-day conference, set for April 30, will be held in conjunction with ETA's annual meeting and exposition, taking place April 30 through May 2 in New Orleans.
Mobile Payment Innovations 2013 will offer discussions and presentations on business opportunities created by mobile payments. Speakers from the nation's leading payments and technology companies and merchants will examine trends in mobile payment processing and the factors that drive transactions.
In addition to Mobile Payment Innovations 2013, the three-day exposition at the New Orleans Convention Center will introduce the Mobile Pay Zone, a section of the exhibit floor dedicated to mobile-based businesses.
"Mobile payments is the next big thing in the field of electronic transactions, and we're excited to work with MCPI to host in-depth discussions on the future of this dynamic industry," said ETA chief executive Jason Oxman. "As the trade association of the entire payments industry, ETA is the hub of activity in next-generation payments technology, bringing together card networks, processors, acquirers, ISOs, and mobile and technology companies."
ETA's annual trade show and conference will host 200 exhibitors and dozens of conference sessions. It is expected to draw more than 3,000 people.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in about the beautiful bed covering featured in my April columns. (If you missed reading them, they're posted below.)
My public library is a wonderful place for books, but the staff
members are also great resources. One of the circulation librarians is
an avid quilter. When I first saw the photo with the bed covering I
immediately thought, "Carol has to see this." I was right. With a
single glance she said, "This isn't a quilt, it's a weaving pattern."
Just so happens her daughter knows a lot about woven designs.
The suspense is over. Carol's daughter Vicki took a look and
declared, " It's an overshot weave, a variation of a pattern known as
Queen's Anne Lace."

Townhall Meetings Going Through The Motions
Congressmen who are on their five week break from Washington are now back in their voting district either planning to have townhall meetings with their constituents or avoiding it at all costs. Many upset and angry Americans are standing up and expressing their concerns to their Representative.
It's a shame that many (if not all) of these politicians are just going through the motions of actually listening to their voters. Quite a few of them have canceled their meeting and the ones that are having one are just trying to pacify the crowd.
Arlen Specter (Republican turned Democrat) had a meeting this morning and from the way his posture and his actions gave me the impression of not really listening to the people. When one woman asked a question about health care. She read from the Bill that at a certain age, the persons coverage would be limited. If a seventy-four year old with cancer, that patient would not be given the treatment to fight the disease. The Senator gave a snappy answer as to the statement is just a lie and 1that that is not the case for the elderly. He immediately asked for the next question and did not go into detail of the bill.
These politicians no longer care about the American people and in my opinion should be voted out of office at the first chance that they come up for re-election. Not just the Democrats, but the Republicans as well. The position of a Senator or a Representative was never meant to be a career. It seems that all politicians have forgotten the fact that they work for us, the American people. We are their base and they need to be reminded of the fact. No matter who is up for re-election, they should be removed from the position. The political ties that they have made have gotten too big.

Beauty Top 5: Best Sunscreens
In 2007, makeup artist Helfman opened Vert, a chic eco-boutique in L.A. that boasts a carefully edited array of earth-friendly beauty booty, after a holistic doctor suggested she jettison chemical-laden personal care items.
TOP TIP: "Many natural ingredients such as green tea are proven antiagers," Helfman says. "You're not giving up efficacy by switching over."
GREEN SCREEN: Helfman is "meticulous" about her merchandise. "I research all ingredients thoroughly online and test everything on myself."
Red Flower Ohana Gingergrass Bamboo Scrub "is like a body wash, a scrub, and a moisturizer all in one, plus the ginger is detoxifying."

TIVERTON and Honiton MP Neil Parish visited the offices of Brain-in-Hand Ltd at Exeter University's Innovation Centre to see firsthand the assistive technology the company has developed for people with Asperger's Syndrome and high-functioning autism.
As a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Autism, Neil was very impressed after using the technology himself and discussing its benefits and applications.
His visit included a presentation on the SmartPhone-based system, which assists people with Asperger's Syndrome, high-functioning autism, acquired brain injury and a number of other conditions.
He also met Tom Pittwood, who originally participated in the Devon Partnership NHS Trust trial of the system and was so impressed he applied to join the company as both a market analyst and in training organisations to use the system effectively.
"I think it is brilliant that a local MP is taking an interest in our company," said Tom.
"I hope that we can make a real difference to many people's lives as my experience in using the technology has been really beneficial.
"It's the best-applied demonstration of the old metaphor 'a stitch in time saves nine' because it enables you to tackle the problem when it happens, rather than discussing it three days later in a therapy session."
Brain-in-Hand technology uses a system of activity mapping, whereby users, in conjunction with a mentor, develop their own bespoke solutions to problems they may face in their daily lives. Data entry using a PC, laptop or tablet is simple and schedules can be copied from one day to another and then adjusted as necessary.
Users are asked to record their anxiety levels using a simple traffic-light system and synchronisation between the SmartPhone and the server automatically alerts a support team if a user needs immediate assistance and also provides a record of decisions taken.
Neil said: "I believe this can deliver a greater quality of life for those with Asperger's, create greater economic benefits and save the taxpayer money."

Oakland Rotunda – Full Circle
January 29, 2009
Back in 2006, I shot this amazing wedding at the Oakland Rotunda Building. The venue was spectacularly grand, the couple was dazzling and effervescent, and the photographer I worked with was a real hoot. To top it all off, the bride had arranged for a Cirque Du Soleil style trapeze show to surprise the groom. I used footage from that wedding for my demo reel in 2007 and 2008. I won a blue ribbon for the bridal prep portion of the final video. It was fantastic; very memorable, to say the least. (For a blast from the past, read my ancient blog post about that event HERE.)
It's not a lens aberration; the Rotunda Building is slightly oblong and not a perfect circle.
Two years later, I receive and invitation from my friend, Crystal Lequang – wedding designer extraordinaire, for an event to be held at the Oakland Rotunda building. I hadn't stepped foot in that venue since that day in June of 2006 so I was eager to RSVP "yes".
Me, Crystal, and her assistant, Katelyn
Things really got strangely coincidental when I looked more carefully at the Evite and noticed that Craig Merrill, the photographer that I had worked with back in 2006 was the "official" photographer for the event! Wow, I thought, what a cool coincidence! Since I hadn't spoken to or worked with Craig since that wedding we did together, it'd be fun to catch up and get reacquainted.
So I arrive at the event and walked in with my friends, Michelle (aka MB), her brother and her sister-in-law Melinda (Melinda Le Photography) and I find out that we just missed a trapeze routine. What?! There was trapeze? How weird! It turns out that it's the same trapeze artist that performed at a recent wedding that I shot for MB's clients, Charlene and Chris. After talking to that trapeze artist, she remembered me and assured me that it was the exact same routine that she did previously so I needn't worry that I missed out. That was kind of a weird coincidence, right? It gets better:
Later in the evening, the emcee announced ANOTHER trapeze routine – one not to be missed! THAT one turned out to be the exact same guy doing the exact same routine that I saw back in 2006! WEIRD!
Anyway, I had a good time – albeit a little Twilight Zoney – and got to catch up with a lot of good friends. Check out some photos by continuing…

'"I think what was important for us when we went through things, it was just to have a good bunch of guys," Regier said. "For the veterans who had gotten over themselves it was a lot more about team success and doing well. We've got a lot of younger players, too, and so for them it's to continue growing. One thing I would say is this is a good group of guys, and they enjoy playing with and for each other. That's a good thing."'
