Recently I've relocated to Fremantle in WA. After placing equal 9th in the Box comp and spending a few boozy nights wandering the streets of Perth city and Fremantle I decided to pull up stumps here for a while.
This frame grab is from the first decent waves I've surfed over here and supposably it was still pretty average. For Those Who is James Strickland's project he's been filming for, check out the Facebook page for updates on the film.
Straddie again last winter. Same day, same photographer. It was pumping!
Straddie last winter! This day was magic. Fat Tom and I drove down with no expectations and came away grinning. The stretch was pumping and uncrowded. When we came in Darcy Ward came up and said he got some shots but wasnt sure if they were any good…
Looking back in disbelief. I did this numerous times throughout the competition, the waves were unbelievable!
This was sometime in Winter last year.
This trip was so much fun. Cade, Stormboy and myself spent a few hours driving south for some fun waves. The night before I stayed at Cades house in Caloundra. We told Stormboy we would have an early night so we'd be lively enough for the drive down when he'd pick us up in the morning. I get to Cades and we bailed straight to the bottle'o an infamous Caloundra house party was on that night just a few streets away from Cade's. Drinking, smoking, stumbling our way through the streets we arrive at the party. This poor house was packed, people fucking everywhere and was ready to explode like a fat guy hiding his gut in some tiny pants. It did explode. Police arrived and bottles were thrown from the backyard of the house over the roof at the cops yelling "whats the colour of a 2 cent peice?" and answering " coppa, coppa!!". I loose Cade amongst the chaos but see a big white fucking greg norman look alike hat swaying on a rubber neck heading down the road with the man himself attatched. We stagger back home and pass out. One hour later, lights flick on and Stormboys standing over us. We gather our boards and brains and cram into Stormboys car. Four hours later, with blurry red eyes, stinking breath and rusty throats from the smokey coffin nails we arrive at our destination. Waves are pumping! Five salty hours later we're back in the car heading home with tunes blasting, baked bean sangas and no hangover. Thank you Ocean.
Driving into Haleiwa I took a photo through the front windshield of the car. The tint in the window gave the sky some pretty strange colours.
I was scored a 9.5 in my first heat on this wave. I managed to scrape into a bomb that faded in from second reef and linked up with a ramp on the end. Frame grab courtesy of IBA
Pipeline Challenge 2012, the best Bodyboarding comp I've ever seen! This is the most memorable wave I've ridden. Thanks to IBA for putting on such an incredible competition and congratulations to Jeff Hubbard!
Waimea Bay- Big and beautiful
Two of my favourite shots in the water taken by two of my good friends Ben Lee and Ryan "Stormboy" Jones. Both of these guys have helped me out with finding waves, capturing my surfing and are all round legends! Hope everyone has a wild new years eve and a fresh hangover to start the new year with.
2012 Hawaii is on its way baaabyy!

These pendants are big enough that I only needed two to go over my granite counter. The fabric shades add a soft quality to a hard surface kitchen. My only complaint is that there is some inconsistency in the shade- like little swirls of fabric caught up inside the shade. It does not bug me enough to return them- I have decided to love every imperfection in my kitchen remodel(considering I did the painting) and I really love the look of these fabric pendants.

IBM released SOA products for integrating software applications and improving business processes, and said more customers are starting to understand the SOA concept.
IBM is encouraging businesses to create discrete, "loosely coupled" processes that can be monitored individually and fine tuned for better performance. Building such an architecture can be complex and requires services from IBM, but the result should be a more nimble and competitive business, according to IBM.
The first new offering is a set of software packages to help companies in specific industries -- initially health care, insurance, banking, and telecommunications -- automate processes using an SOA, or services-oriented architecture. The term refers to a way of designing IT systems so that services, such as an insurance claim approval, can be reused or modified more easily.
The packages come with prebuilt templates for processes and standards common to each of the four industries. The health-care package, for example, ensures that SOA applications comply with the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act for managing health-care data.
The offerings stem from IBM's acquisition last year of Webify Solutions, which focused on the health-care and insurance industries. IBM updated those packages and created others for the two new industries, said Manoj Saxena, a vice president with IBM Global Business Services and formerly Webify's CEO. It has also translated the products into several languages.
The packages, each known as a WebSphere Business Services Fabric, start from $300,000 for an unlimited number of processors and end users, IBM said.
The company also released an update to WebSphere Business Monitor, which tracks the performance of business processes. "For example, if I'm an insurance company I might have a goal to process claims about chipped windshields in two hours. This tool shows me how long I am taking, and I can see that the problem is originating from my processing center in Prague, or wherever."
The previous version looked primarily at people-based processes, while the update looks at content-based processes and also gives a geographic view through a connection into the Google Maps Web service. IBM's Lotus division has employed Google Maps before, but this is the first time it has been included with a WebSphere product.
Pricing for WebSphere Monitor starts at $88,500 for 100 "processor value units," an IBM pricing plan that takes processor type into account.
Explaining the benefits of SOA to a CEO can be a tough sell, although Saxena said IT people understand the idea a lot better than 18 months ago, and sales cycles are shorter. "It used to be very education-heavy," he said. Business people want to see where the value is in SOA.
"It's a bit like where we were with the Internet in 1995," he said. "People put up Web pages and pretty catalogues but business people didn't really see the value of it until you put a shopping cart around it. We're at the same stage with SOA. We're past the project-level discussion and now it's a question of how to take it to the business level."

Artist's Statement
The basic theme in the creation of my artwork is the development of harmonious relationship between nature and man-made materials. These two opposing elements when combined together can eliminate the borderline between what is natural (live organic matter) and non-natural (mam-made fabrications), and in doing so create a surrounding atmosphere which is tension-free and relaxing. Although nature and man-made materials may appear to be of two separate worlds on thier own, actually a close relationship exists between them in modern day life. Unfortunatery, the worldwide destruction of nature has made it necessary for nature and man-made materials to co-exist with one another, so far as to say that these two elements may evolutionary become dependent on one another. As a result, we must deeply consider the connections that exist between each element by having flexibility in our thinking.

The bill BS98-13, Checks and Balances of Executive Appointments, which requires the executive branch to allow the senate to ratify its appointed officers, was voted on once again. The bill received severe opposition by a few, including Associated Students of WSU president Aaron Campbell. This bill was originally voted on May 4 by voice and passed until a Sunshine, lollipops and homework... - ? f A - If everything isn't wonderful, at least the weather is. Earl C.

The second vote was counted by raise of hands, and declared a tie of seven to seven with two abstentions. Senate president John Shupe broke the tie by voting against it. Later in the meeting, some of the senators wanted to change their votes, so a roll-call vote was held. It passed with nine in favor, five against and two abstaining. After the meeting, it was discovered that the bill hadn't actually passed, because it requires a three-fourths vote to amend the ASWSU bylaws. A second roll-call vote was held, and the bill failed for lack of one vote. The final vote was seven in favor, cal or architectural county buildings. This year, seven houses on Ogden's East bench will be featured. Georgia Lund, Weber County Heritage Foundation president, said there are several reasons students will enjoy the house tour.

Another bill was brought before the senate again. It was vetoed by Campbell on the grounds of inconsistencies. The bill, BS98-15, was designed to change many of the bylaws and the constitutions making it relevant during the coming semesters. However, a new amendment in the bill stated the ASWSU president had one academic week to sign or veto legislation. This contradicted another part of the constitution. The necessary changes were made, and the bill passed unanimously.Also on Monday, senator Andy Smith passed BS98-20, A Stronger home show i v x- VK y'-s. w tf Lund hopes students will come learn more about East Ogden history and appreciate the beauty of the vintage homes.

Lund said the Tour of Houses is another part of a student's education. see Home page 1 1 before end of terms Voice, which called for two senators, instead of one, to sit on the Student Fee Recommendation Committee. Campbell stood in support of the bill and said two senators used to sit on the committee, but recently, they have only been able to find one senator to fill the position. Now two student senators, five students-at-large and three executive officers will be on the committee. Senator Ryan Bott was successful in passing BS98-23, User Friendly, which was written to make senators more available to students and constituencies.The bill provides students with a web page that will have the issues facing the student senate posted on it Living with AIDS By Peggy Rentfro news writer-The Signpost Chad Brophy didn't know his visit to the hospital two years ago would be the last time he would see his friend Michael. Brophy, a Weber State University student, said when he visited Michael his body was covered with blisters, because, for the last six years, he had been living with the HIV virus. "I didn't know that this was going to be the last time I would see my friend, as one week later he passed away," Brophy said. "When Michael had the disease, family and friends stopped calling and tried to stay away... From this experience, I learned that people are people, even if they have AIDS." According to the Sept. 1997 Utah Department of Health report, 284 people between the ages of 20-29 were tested and diagnosed with AIDS. In recent years, AIDS reatments such as taking 20 pills a day, have given those living with HIVAIDS extended health and life, but the medications don't work for every individual. "We had a total of 125 cumulative AIDS cases in Weber County during 1983-1997, and 52 cumulative HIV infections during 1989-1997," Utah Department of Health employee George Osher said. The AIDS Foundation said during 1997, 11 panels were added in the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. The quilt is dedicated to the memory of those Utah residents who have died from complications due to AIDS. While fewer people died from complications due to AIDS last ear. the number of people liv ing with lll7 AIDS continues to increase. Organizations such as the Utah AIDS Foundation decided to open the Northern regularly. Students will be able to e-mail their senator and give feedback to the senate about what they want done. "If we keep doing what we are doing, the results will be the same, and that maintains the image of cliqu-ishness," Bott said. Bott set up an e-mail account accessible to all senators where students can voice their opinions. The account is on Groupwise and is named STUDENTSENATE. He also wants to advertise the bills, resolutions and issues in The Signpost next year.

|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1998-05-20, Vol. 60, No. 82
|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Although this is the customized 2011 Ford Fiesta at the LA Auto Show, it certainly won't be the last of the blue oval's compacts to be tuned. This red and white Fiesta was a collaboration between 3dCarbon and FSWerks and takes full advantage of Fiesta's European styling and rock solid foundation and power train to springboard the B segment hatchback to the next level of street authority.
Now this racing stripe wearing Fiesta is no show pony, thanks to the combination of the FSWerks Stage 2 intercooled turbo kit and a less restrictive free flowing 2.25 inch exhaust gives the little 1.6 Liter Fiesta enough grunt to play with the big boys and adequately matches the 3dCarbon body kit's aggressive appearance. The aero package is made up of a big mouth front bumper and matching ground effects that issue a bold challenge to contenders while at the track the FSWerks components ensure that the tuned Fiesta can not only talk the talk, but walk the walk as well.

Wayne Hennessey lines up speedy return for Wolves
Wolves today received a rare injury boost with confirmation of Player of the Year Wayne Hennessey's return to full fitness ahead of schedule.
The Wales international will return to contention immediately following the international break after battling back from a ruptured cruciate ligament suffered at Sunderland on April 14.
Hennessey, 25, will be stepping up his workload and returning to full training some time after Saturday's trip to Blackburn, with a view to challenging Carl Ikeme and Dorus De Vries for the away game at Huddersfield on October 20.
The news is a boost for the club at a time when three wingers – Razak Boukari, Slawomir Peszko and Stephen Hunt – face injury lay-offs and boss Stale Solbakken is weighing up a move into the loan market for a replacement, while George Elokobi's season is over.
"Wayne should be fully fit and ready to rejoin full training with the team when the international break has finished, provided he has no setbacks," said Solbakken.
"He's doing all his work with (goalkeeping coach) Pat Mountain at the moment, but everything is going the way it should be and if that's still the case, he'll be back with us when the international break is over.
"He's worked hard and got his reward by being back a few weeks ahead of schedule."
Solbakken believes Hennessey's imminent return is reward for his positive attitude.
"It's a good thing to have all three keepers fit but it's also a reward for Wayne too because every day I've been here, he's always come in with a big smile and worked hard," said the boss.
"That's something he should be proud of because he's dealt with this setback so well mentally."
Forgotten defender Steven Mouyokolo is also well down the road on his way back to full fitness from a cruciate ligament injury, while midfielder Jamie O'Hara is halfway through rehabilitation from his latest hernia operation.
"Steven is training more and more with the reserves at the moment," said Solbakken.
"O'Hara is doing fine, but that was also the case last time and then he had a setback.
"Hopefully this operation has gone well because it's very important for his mental state that there are no setbacks again.
"It's about four weeks since his operation so he should be about halfway through his rehabilitation."

Report Card Day
It's been a topsy turvy first quarter of the 08-09 Oilers season. A great example is contained in this thread where you can read comments like "I would also have to say he must be one of the more challenging wingers to play with in the entire NHL as you know your role will be to watch him circle and try and find a soft spot to fire a one timer" and "the frustration with Hemsky is that he is now in his 7th professional season, and he's making the same mistakes he made as a rookie."
I have literally no idea exactly how difficult it is to score in the NHL but based on watching it for many years it's pretty clear that it's a ridiculous task. NHL coaches are fully aware of it and stack their rosters with people who can contribute to keeping the puck out of the net and then a few men to fly sorties into the opposition's territory in hopes of a successful strike.
THAT'S why Ales Hemsky is so bloody important. The next time he's playing poorly and turns the puck over 5 times in a game at the blueline, we need to remember that he's still one of the best in the game at certain things and those things contribute to goals.
Do we really want to see an Oilers team that doesn't have Hemsky?
- 88%: Ales Hemsky- I projected him to go 18gp, 6-17-23 and he's gone 20gp, 5-16-21. He's a little behind in PPG but considering the start and the linemate shuffle I'd say our man Ales is having a stellar season. His EV/60 number is 2.10 now which is "in the range" for previous seasons (2.36 a year ago and 2.09 two seasons ago) and remains a ridiculous powerplay performer. I can say with confidence that if Ales Hemsky played for Vancouver we'd be in awe of him, but for some reason Oilers fans are slow to recognize greatness when it's right in front of them. It's probably because everyone who follows Gretzky looks a little less awesome.
- 86%: Lubomir Visnovsky: I suggested he'd go 19gp, 3-10-13 and so far this season he's 20gp, 4-8-12. That's pretty close to bang on. I think he's brilliant, and in fact Lubo makes other people better because of the number of "touches" he gets in games. Seriously, his "range factor" is off the charts, I'm always seeing Souray slow up because Lubo's got the icing or a loose puck in the neutral zone being gobbled up by 71. He's a puck hawk and he's a very good one. I think you can make a strong case he's been more valuable to this team than Hemsky, and I love Hemsky's season.
- 80%: Sheldon Souray- I projected him to be 13gp, 3-4-7 at the quarter pole, Souray is in fact 19gp, 7-8-15. Offensively, he's been shocking. Seriously, the guy has a rocket launcher back there and when the puck hits the net there's going to be trouble for the other side. I may be marking him too harshly, but Sheldon Souray has some chaos in his defensive game and for that he comes in below some other guys.
- 75%: Shawn Horcoff- This fellow has a problem, and it's the same as the one Gary Carter had with the Expos. When team's don't win, the fans define the reasons and then for some reason focus on the one guy who seems to be doing a good job in that area. With Carter it was RBI's ("why can't this team drive in runs? Gary Carter's the cleanup guy, it's his fault we're losing!") and with Horcoff it's the faceoff circle. I mean he's doing a reasonable job (50.1% in 421 faceoffs) but even MacTavish is rambling on about him needing to do better. Meanwhile Cogliano is doing so poorly that he can't be used in important situations and the other PK C is being eaten alive as a penalty killer. Must be Horcoff's fault. I suggested he should be at 18gp, 7-11-18 and he's at 20gp, 5-6-11. I don't think that's a huge gap and he'll have a better 20-game stretch down the line this season. I do worry about his coach, though.
- 72%: Dwayne Roloson- I pegged him at 3.20/.899 and he's currently at 3.02/.913 which is a nice season. I don't really have any kind of read on the Oilers goalies this season, as it's not clear to me that the #3 guy (Garon) isn't really the number 1 guy. Either way, Roloson is definitely in the home stretch of his Oilers career and is playing well.
- 70%: Andrew Cogliano- Reasonable expectations were pegged at 20gp, 5-6-11 and he's at 20gp, 5-4-9 so would appear to be right on target. I shoud have taken some points away because Cogliano has not been able to step into that massive void up the middle that was left when Stoll and Reasoner left. No one could reasonably argue he was ready, but when the Oilers traded Stoll and allowed Reasoner to walk he must have been part of the plan (at least from the GM's chair). He is not helpful in the FO circle and until recently was lacking in offense. He needs to be better, but I haven't nicked him because this is an organizational flaw.
- 69%: Tom Gilbert- His reasonable expectations were 20gp, 2-4-6 and he is at 20gp, 2-9-11 at this time. I've nicked him heavily because of inconsistent play, although much of that is rightly placed at the doorstep of his D partner Grebeshkov in this report card. He's come on as of late but needs to be better the rest of the way.
- 66%: Ethan Moreau- I had him going 13gp, 3-1-4 and Ethan is 20gp, 5-5-10 and playing with abandon. His number would be higher save for the usual dumb penalties and the fact that he's played some of the season with skill players (thus making his offensive spike less surprising). It's also a mystery to me that a team that appears to be ruddlerless on many nights hasn't seen more leadership from him. He continues to be refreshing voice in that he speaks his mind but I can't help feeling this club might be better if he was the one verbally arranging the furniture instead of MacT.
- 65%: Marc Pouliot- Projected to go 19gp, 2-5-7, he's currently at 20gp, 1-3-4 which is well within the range. I've been reading some of the comments about Poo and it looks to me like some of us have been on the ether and some of us are seeing the truth. To my eye, he's a better player now than he's been at any time save for the two spring's where Pouliot looked like he belonged. If the Oilers keep him on the ice for 12 minutes a night all winter I'm pretty confident he'll be an NHL player by the time I'm yelling at my kids on holidays. His EV/60 number (1.26) is not far from where it was a year ago and he's a pretty good player when out there with actual NHLers (as has been observed many times by Dennis).
- 62%: Jeff Deslauriers- I had him pegged at 3.50/.887 and he's done way better, currently sitting at 2.44/.927 in 5 NHL games. If the Oilers lose the season they'll play him a bunch but Deslauriers has played above expecations by any measure and his mark is less than expected only because they haven't played him much this season.
- 58%: Sam Gagner- I projected Gagner to be at 19gp, 5-8-13 and he is at 19gp, 1-4-5. That's a big dropoff, folks. Let's look a little deeper. After 19 games a year ago, Sam Gagner was 2-7-9, -8. This season he's 19gp, 1-4-5, -3. So he's off offensively but his plus minus number is improved and against a little tougher opposition and with less impressive linemates than one year ago (unless I'm reading Desjardins wrong). His Corsi number a year ago was -5.6 and this season it's -1.3, and most impressively Sam Gagner's attitude is what winner's are all about. No finger pointing, no pouting, no "whoa is me" just a solid work ethic and a lot of try. I wish I'd been that way at 19.
- 56%: Erik Cole- I pegged him at 18gp, 5-7-12 and he's 20gp, 3-4-7. It's off the pace by a little but that alone doesn't explain the mark. He has been a disappointment in his own end where Cole seems unable to make simple decisions under pressure (at times) and in the offensive end where his passing and ability to take a pass appears subpar. I'm still a big believer in the guy and will absolutely agree MacT hasn't handled him as well as he could have this season, but he needs to man up.
- 55%: Dustin Penner- Projected to have a 30 goal season, he would be at 20gp, 8-5-13 based on my projections. Penner is in fact at 18gp, 4-1-5 and well off the pace anyone wouuld have hoped for him. Although MacT's public comments about him seemed to light a short term fire it's been my observation that players usually quit on a coach at some point and this would be my guess with this player. Dustin Penner is in a spot right now that players have been in since I was a kid, and his situation reminds me of Rod Gilbert when John Ferguson arrived in NYC, or Darryl Sittler arrived at work one day to find out Punch Imlach was the new GM. The difference is that Penner has a long term contract and if MacTavish stays then these two will have to find some kind of peace over time. I don't see much evidence that Dustin Penner is going to be the player MacT wants him to be and I don't see much evidence that MacTavish is going to give him special status. This can only get uglier and I'd suggest at some point will cut the team in two, much like the Al MacNeil-Henri Richard incident did in 1971 (although that's a bad example since that team won the Stanley).
- 54%: Ladislav Smid- He is playing his best hockey at this time. Playing decent minutes against decent opposition and not getting run over is his high water mark. I suggested he'd go 18gp, 0-1-1 and he's gone 9gp, 0-2-2. His coach likes him so much as a defenseman he's now on LW. Smid's inability to create offense will end his NHL career. Score one for Dennis, but I swear by God Almighty there's a player here.
- 50%: Mathieu Garon- I said he should be at 2.75/.915 and he's 3.41/.889. It's a weird season for Garon, as he was the starter but had less rope than anyone since Louis Riel. It's not clear to me in any way that Garon is the least effective of these three goalies and in fact one imagines we'll hear from him before the end of the season one way or another.
- 50%: Kyle Brodziak- Projected for 20gp, 3-5-8 and so far he's 19gp, 2-1-3 but he's looked lost for much of the year. I think last year's rookie trio (Cogs, Gags and Brodz) are all experiencing what has happened to many players after solid rookie seasons: the revelation that their impressive season was exactly that, one season. You're only as good as the last shift, so suck it up and get out there. I think he'll be fine over the long haul but keeping the coach in his corner is pretty important.
- 49%: Robert Nilsson- I thought he'd have a big season (projected 19gp, 4-9-13) but so far he's 20gp, 3-4-7 and has been less than expected most nights. A guy like Nilsson doesn't bring enough things aside from offense that he can stay in a lineup when not playing at a high level. He's building the foundation of a journeyman career and that means a few stops along the way. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets shipped out at or before the deadline.
- 48%: Steve Staios- Reasonable was 20gp, 1-3-4 and he's 18gp, 1-1-2. There are some minus indicators here and maybe it's just a slump but there should be some concern. He's playing against soft opposition and his Corsi number is -14. This compares to -7.8 but against much tougher competition one year ago. I'd like some input here, but it looks to me like we should have a worried mind.
- 48%: Jason Strudwick- Reasonable was 14gp, 0-1-1 and he's at 17gp, 0-3-3 which is certainly comparable. Strudwick has played well enough to force Ladislav Smid into a different career path but it seems to me his being partnered with Staios may not be helping him. Strudwick's stay-at-home style would perhaps be better suited to a Lubo or Tom Gilbert and I suspect he'll eventually find his way up the depth chart.
- 47%: Fernando Pisani- It pains me to put him here but the entire first stretch of the season has seen the Oilers struggle in areas (PK, EV) where they usually do well and one of the reasons they usually do well is Pisani. Reasonable expectations after 20 would be 19gp, 4-5-9 and he's at 16gp, 2-4-6 which is off the pace but not an epic fail. Pisani's mark comes because of his play away from the puck and believe me his calm feet and intelligent play were badly needed. Moving him to center might just be the worst move of the MacTavish coaching era.
- 45%: Denis Grebeshkov- Projected to go 19gp, 1-5-6 and he's currently 17gp, 1-7-8 so has covered the offensive bet. The reason for the poor mark is that Grebeshkov went brainless much of the way through the first 20. Seriously. He pinched in at bad times and he also left bad leaves all over the table for his partner Gilbert. If there's a goat on this club for the first 20, and I'm not convinced we need to point one out since their record isn't horrible, my vote would go to Grebeshkov. Very poor.
- 30%: Zack Stortini- Well, we knew he wasn't going to have a season like last year but I thought he'd be more than Wilfredo Tejada. I don't think it's his fault, really. Giving Stortini at-bats when he clearly doesn't give you offense is like playing Bob Natal at first base: he can do it, but does it help you? You'd have to write a 4,000 word essay on how being purely physical overwhelms putting up even a dribble of offense with the minutes Zack is getting. One final word: I have nothing specific against Stortini, just a knowledge that when a team is having trouble offensively they shouldn't devote 70 minutes of any season to a guy who is 0-0-0.
- INCOMPLETE: Liam Reddox- A nice couple of games since arriving and I think he may stay up with the big club. This is a Buchberger special, as the numbers were better for a few farmhands.
- INCOMPLETE: Steve MacIntyre: He had some interesting games and swayed the play a few times for the big club. I bet he has an NHL future.
- INCOMPLETE: Theo Peckham: Played one game with the big club, suspect he'll be back.

The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) has granted Northampton Community College's (NCC) diagnostic medical sonography program continuing accreditation for ten years. To qualify for reaccreditation the College had to meet rigorous standards.
"The site team visitors were impressed with the leadership of the program, the faculty and clinical instructors, and the high quality of students in the program," Carolyn Bortz, dean of allied health and sciences, said. "The high pass rates on the Board exams and excellent placement rates provide sound evidence of the program's quality and success."
The employment outlook in diagnostic medical sonography continues to be strong. NCC offers both an associate degree and specialized diploma, both of which allow the graduate the opportunity to sit for the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographer's (ARDMS) examination. As of August 2012, 78 students will have graduated from NCC's sonography program. Graduates are employed at St. Luke's University Hospital Network, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Easton Hospital, Sacred Heart Hospital, Pocono Medical Center, Grandview Hospital, Warren Hospital, Hackettstown Medical Center, and Hunterdon Medical Center.

Following the arrest of an unregistered sex offender smoking marijuana near Teaticket Elementary School last Monday, school officials convened a forum Wednesday night to address parents' safety concerns.
At the heart of the matter is a public access path that runs from Maravista Avenue along the northern edge of the school's playground and connects through a small wooded area to the bottom of the parking lot behind 7-Eleven on Teaticket Highway. By several accounts, this lower parking area and adjacent woods is a popular hangout spot and is frequently littered with drug paraphernalia, including hypodermic needles.
The sex offender was arrested near a group of large stones where the path connects to the parking lot, a distance of 200 feet from where the path merges onto school grounds.
A group of 26 parents gathered in the school's cafeteria Wednesday night and expressed multiple concerns to a panel that included superintendent Bonny L. Gifford, Teaticket Elementary School principal Susan E. Driscoll, and Falmouth police Lieutenant Douglas M. DeCosta.
In response to alarm regarding the sex offender's proximity to the school, Lt. DeCosta said the man's offense occurred more than 20 years ago and that "not all sex offenders are pedophiles." He said that 90 percent of sex offenses occur with a person the perpetrator knows. Parents should be more concerned about "Uncle Bob" than anonymous Bob on the street, he said. "Someone walking around is not as much of a risk."
A few parents expressed dismay that Massachusetts does not have a law that prohibits sex offenders from being on school property. A mother worried that sex offenders would be entering the school during elections to vote. "There are sex offenders who have children, and they come to the school to pick their children up," Lt. DeCosta said.
"My concern is what are my children seeing?" said a mother. What if a drugged person decided to pee in the woods in view of the children, she asked.
"If it's a known druggie area, maybe increase patrols," a father suggested.
A few parents expressed dismay that Massachusetts does not have a law that prohibits sex offenders from being on school property.
Dr. Gifford said she has talked with both the DPW and police about how to increase safety in the area. She said police have already stepped up patrols after she passed on concerns voiced by parents at a meet-and-greet session prior to last week's arrest. The DPW has cleared some brush, and intends to do more work to increase the area's visibility. Lighting the area at night is also being discussed, Dr. Gifford said.
Many parents liked the idea of fencing in the playground. "I will fundraise my rear end off" to get a fence, one mother pledged. "A fence is an idea on the table," Ms. Driscoll said.
Ms. Driscoll expressed skepticism when a mother said her boy saw two young people living in woods adjacent to playground/ "Children have vivid imaginations," she said. This caused a murmur of disapproval to run through the crowd.
In regard to concerns about drug paraphernalia on school grounds, Ms. Driscoll said "we've never seen it or had kids find it."
A mother raised her hand to contradict the assertion. "My daughter did find drug paraphernalia on the playground, and it was a hypodermic needle," she said.
School Makes Effort to Educate Students
A discussion on the proper disposal of such items followed. Ms. Driscoll said she would direct the school adjustment councilor to talk to children during the school day about "stranger danger" and not touching trash.
After the meeting, parents had mixed reactions. Peter J. Friel was reassured to learn that the sex offender-smoking marijuana incident occurred closer to the parking lot than the playground. "I was glad to hear it was farther away from the school," he said.
Ellen P. Leary said "I'm not afraid of a sex offender. I'm not worried about abductions." She said she came to learn more about what was going on in the areas abutting the school.
Others remained concerned the discussion pointed to serious danger. "I just want a fence, it only takes five seconds to snatch a kid," Heather L. Duncan said.
Yesterday, the day after the parent forum, Claire Z. Poole, Teaticket's school adjustment councilor, talked to students during their lunch periods about school safety .
At 11:45 AM she addressed the 2nd grade.
"If you see a grownup that you don't recognize out on the playground, you need to tell a grownup you do recognize," she said.
"Those grownups are the wise people you can go to" if something bothers you, she said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"What if you saw trash, or an object you don't recognize?" Ms. Poole asked. "Tell an adult."
"Everybody understand?"
"Yes," the children chorused together, and then went back to eating their lunch.
Faith Anderson, the owner of Let's Cycle Cape Cod, the business closest to where the path connects to the parking lot, said that she sees people who "look a little shady" walking the path and hanging out around its entrance. But, she added, she's never felt threatened by them. "They're not disrespectful," she said. "You feel bad for these people."
Ms. Anderson described the parking lot as "drug-ridden" but also complimented police on their vigilance as of late. "The police are doing a great job," she said.
Ms. Anderson recently placed a green trash can at the entrance to the path. "And they seem to be using it," she said. She said the area is habitually strewn with lottery tickets and cigarette butts. She will occasionally find and remove hypodermic needles using a trash grabber, she said. She guessed that people shoot up in their cars and then throw the needles out the window.
Two homeless people pitched a tent in the woods abutting the path over the summer but have since moved elsewhere, she said.
When Ms. Anderson learned the school was considering lighting the area at night, she said, "It should be lit out there, there's no doubt."
Ms. Anderson grew up in Falmouth, and said she recognizes a few of the young people hanging out as children of the people she grew up with. "It's our own," she said.
Correction: November 18, 2013
A previous version of this article incorrectly had the following statement in quotes: What if a drugged person decided to pee in the woods in view of the children, she asked. That was not a direct quote, but actually the reporter paraphrasing what an audience member had said at the Teaticket School forum. We apologize for the error.

How did you get interested in photography?
I've been into it since I was pretty young. There were a lot of photo books in my house growing up and I was always obsessing over them. I started taking photo classes in 9th grade and have been basically studying it ever since.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever photographed?
That's really hard to say because there are so many degrees of weirdness. I photographed Woodstock '99, where all the riots and violence happened...that was pretty weird in a kind of ugly way. I photographed a Luna Moth with a macro lens once, right up in its weird furry face. I have a photo I took at my friend's farm of a goat riding on the back of horse! I worked for Vice Magazine for a while, and shot some pretty bizarre things for them over the years, like a guy partying wearing only an chicken carcass. Stuff like that.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen?
I've seen UFOs a few times, and a ghost once, but those are like normal weird things. I watched the Twin Towers get hit by airplanes and then collapse from a few blocks away. That was pretty weird.
Ok, the UFOs—discuss.
The first one I saw was over a field in the middle of Amherst, Mass. the town where I grew up. I was probably around 11-years-old. They had outdoor movie nights in the summer, and I was laying on my back not watching the movie and a bright white, wide blur of light flew right over us. No one else saw it though, so maybe I was having kid hallucinations.
The second UFO I saw was actually just the smoke trail from a UFO. It was the summer of 2005 and I was in the dessert outside of 29 Palms in California (where we shot part of this UO catalog!). I was traveling with Ryan McGinley and a bunch of friends on a road trip, and the sun had just set behind us as we were driving down the road. I was driving, and in my rearview mirror I saw this huge bright smoke spiral high in the atmosphere. The sun had set, but this spiral was so high up that the sunlight was still hitting it, and it was all the brilliant colors of a California sunset in a past-dusk darkening sky. We pulled over and everyone sat on the roof of the van and we watched as the smoke spiral dispersed and the light faded on it. We were pretty much convinced that it was an alien thing, and that any minute the earth was going to be destroyed or something. It was insane and scary and exciting. When we got back to where we staying we watched the news on this tiny portable TV we had. There were reports of sightings of the spiral from all over Southern California, but no one knew what it was.
What was the ghost you saw?
The ghost I saw was in an old Victorian house in Vancouver, in an area called Strathcona. I had been visiting my friends that lived there, and decided to crash on the couch for the night. There were French glass doors separating the room I was in from the front room. I woke up with a start in the middle of the night and saw the figure of a man standing behind the glass doors, just kind of swaying and staring at me. I was really scared, too scared to even move, so I just sat there, not knowing what to do. Eventually I started to realize that this figure was not scary somehow, that he was just sad. I think in my weird half asleep brain I just kind of came to terms with the fact that he was not a threat, that he was kinda half there, and I eventually fell back asleep. In the morning I told my friends about what I saw and they got really freaked out. They had a small child, who was maybe four, who had seen this man in the house multiple times. They had been so freaked out by this that they had asked the landlord about the history of the place, and he told them the previous tenant had shot himself in the head with a shotgun in the room that I saw the ghost in. There had even been a blood stain on the ceiling when they had moved in!
So the ghost was scarier?!?
For sure!
What's the weirdest thing you've ever done?
I drove across the country once by myself. It wasn't that weird, but what happens in your mind when you sleep sitting up and only talk to gas station attendants for four days is pretty weird.
What makes one photo good and another photo bad?
There's no real answer to that question, there are too many variables. A good photo can go bad if the context changes, and vice-versa. I think generally speaking, my favorite photos are ones that intrigue me, that make me wonder and ponder and conjure.
How does your commercial work differ from the work that you do for yourself?
The commercial work has a very specific subject and audience in mind. My personal work I make for myself, and what I'm looking for and looking at is always changing.
What advice would you give to photographers who are just starting out?
Shoot a ton, look at every photo book you can get your hands on, don't be easily satisfied, and take full advantage of the things that you have unique access to, whatever they may be.
Who is the most interesting person you've ever photographed?
Oh, I don't know... everyone is interesting for different reasons. I recently photographed the artist Robert Irwin, who's 83, and he was really interesting to talk to and to meet. I didn't know too much about him before the shoot, so I watched some lectures he had given on his work and process and I was really blown away by his perspective on things.
What was the most fun thing about the recent Urban Outfitters catalog shoot you did in Los Angeles.
We rented a beautiful red 1965 Plymouth Valiant convertible to use for the shoot, and I got to drive it all over L.A., and then out to the desert. It was like driving a boat, very soft and floaty.
What's an average day like on a UO shoot?
Wake up early to try and catch the morning magic hour. Run around to different locations, always shooting all the time, on the way to and from different places. We always have a very specific plan, but we also like to be spontaneous, so it's always a balance. I always forget to eat until late in the afternoon and there's always a mad dash at the end of the day to make it to somewhere specific for the sunset. Lots of coffees and coconut waters and good music!
How do you develop a concept of what the catalog will look like?
It always starts with ideas from Joanna [the UO art director], and then we just brainstorm and look at reference images and come up with ridiculous ideas. So much of it depends on the casting and locations, so a lot of thought goes into that stuff.
Where's your next trip?
I'm going back to L.A. actually, to shoot a fashion story for the magazine Muse.
What do you usually order from room service?
Cheeseburger, salad, Stella.
What makes you want to photograph a particular person?
It's hard to describe, but more that anything it's a certain kind of energy. Sometimes you have to work with the person for a while before you find it, but if they got it, they got it!
What kind of spaces/environments are you interested in?
I like them all! That's the fun part of being a photographer, the challenges of new and different surroundings. And often times the best stuff happens in the worst situations, like crazy weather or bad light. You are forced to get creative!
You run an arts platform called Tiny Vices. What do you consider to be examples of some tiny vices?
The name "Tiny Vices" came from the song "Hangman Blues" by Bill Callahan. Here are the lyrics :
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
Life's a joke
A waiting game now.
A juggling of vices
Tiny tiny vices
And they don't anchor me
To the ground
I know who the hangman is
So life's a joke
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
The clocks on the wall
Creeps higher.
Save save
Restraint restraint.
It's a joke
And I know who the hangman is
A ship in a vial
A headstone on the wharf
And it will pin me
To the ground
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
All the lights look green
So unbend
Your toughest smile
I think we've got
I think we've got
I think we've got
One more mile.

(WNFL) - Green Bay Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers say he never gives up on the idea of playing the next game -- even after he broke his left collarbone nine days ago. On his E-S-P-N-Milwaukee radio show, Rodgers said he'd love to return for Sunday's Packer game against the Giants at New York -- but it remains to be seen if that's realistic. Coach Mike McCarthy has named Scott Tolzien as his starter against the Giants. The Packers are starting to practice for that contest today. Rodgers says he's doing all he can to get back on the field including quote, "not trying to do anything too stupid to aggravate" the collarbone. He said he takes solace in small victories during his recovery -- like sleeping all night, which he just recently did for the first time since his injury. He also cites putting on his own T-shirt, and putting his own socks on. Rodgers said yesterday was the best he had felt since going down November fourth on a sack in Green Bay's first series of its Monday Night loss to Chicago.

South Africa
Country Info
CARE has operated in South Africa since 1993 and Lesotho since 1968; the two offices merged in 2001. Despite the range of differences between these two countries, South Africa and Lesotho share many of the same causes and manifestations of poverty and inequality. In both contexts, high rates of HIV and AIDS and a lack of access to basic health care and education perpetuate cycles of underdevelopment. Youth and women disproportionately share the burden of disease, and lack food, education and livelihoods.
CARE works with communities and local organizations within South Africa and Lesotho to implement programs in the areas of health care and HIV & AIDS, economic empowerment, democratic governance and food security.
Our Vision
We seek a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live in dignity and security.

These Are Our Sisters
Gender-based violence is one of the most widespread – but least recognized – human rights abuses in the world. Globally, one out of three women will be beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime. This violence is happening to our sisters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters around the world.
This violence leaves survivors with long-term psychological and physical trauma; tears away at the social fabric of communities; and is used with terrifying effect in conflict settings, with women as the main target.

One of the more curious aspects of financial reform over the past few years is that the same banks whose complex risk management models so conspicuously failed in the run-up to the crisis should be allowed to use their own models to work out how much capital they need to avoid getting into trouble again.

O'Bryan walked me slowly down the steep side of the mesa, to the desert floor, so I could see Star Axis in its entirety. The work's centrepiece is a 10-storey staircase that lets you walk up through the rock of the mesa, your eyes fixed on a small circular opening that cuts through the top of the pyramid. The first section of the staircase is roofless and open to the sky, but the end of it has a stone overhang that makes it look and feel like a tunnel. This 'star tunnel', as Ross calls it, is precisely aligned with Earth's axis. If you bored a tunnel straight through the Earth's core, from the South Pole to North Pole, and climbed up it, you'd see the same circle of sky that you do when you walk through Ross' tunnel. Gazing up through it in the afternoon glare, I saw a patch of blue, the size and shape of a dime held at arm's length. But if the sun had blinked for a moment, fading the heavens to black, I'd have seen Polaris, glittering at the end of the tunnel, like a solitary diamond in the void."Embracing the Void," Ross Andersen, Aeon.
...the lyrics to that last song were basically taken from an encyclopedia written in the 50s, and since the 50s, some remarkable things have happened...In 1959, a number of songs about science were released on an album called Space Songs. One of these was later covered by the band They Might Be Giants: Why Does The Sun Shine? (The Sun Is A Mass of Incandescent Gas). Only one problem: it isn't--the song was based on an incorrect text from 1951. So they wrote an answer song to themselves: Why Does The Sun Really Shine? (The Sun Is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma).
