US downs Russia, wins sled hockey gold at Paralympics
More NHL: Scores | Standings | League Leaders | Odds | Injuries | Power Rankings
Josh Sweeney lost both of his legs after being hit by an IED while serving as a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan in 2009. His sacrifice already made him a hero, but to his teammates and coaches, he's a hero of a different kind. The 26-year-old Purple Heart recipient scored the only goal in the sled hockey gold-medal game at the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia Saturday.
After pressuring a Russian defenseman, Sweeney stole the puck away, moved in on the net, made a subtle move and roofed a shot up and over the goaltender for a second-period tally that made it 1-0. That's the way it stayed.
The U.S. became the first country to win back-to-back gold medals in sled hockey at the Paralympics, which dates back to 1994.
U.S. goaltender Steve Cash made some key stops towards the end of the game for his 26th career shutout in international play.
Team USA was guided by legendary college hockey coach Jeff Sauer, who won two national titles with the University of Wisconsin. He also coached many U.S. national teams over the years, but never led a team to gold until now.
In downing Russia, the U.S. avenged its only loss of the tournament, which came at the hands of Russia in the preliminary round. The U.S. defeated Canada 3-0 in the semis to set the rematch.
This is the third gold medal for the U.S. in Paralympic sled hockey. The team has medaled in every Paralympics since 2002.

As a writer I spend a lot of time thinking. I want my ideas to be as fresh as possible. Why would I spend countless hours in front of a computer, giving up weekends, etc, if I'm telling a story someone has already told, or an idea that's already been used?

Re: Warhawk Wednesdays Official Event!
good games tonight. but the all talk is not good for strategizing. i heard someone say that they were going to try and "snipe someone from base 3" during the tdm, so i scanned base 1 with my sniper rifle and hit someone. don't know if thats who was making the plan, but i know i would never have looked way across the map if i never heard them say it. ha ha. and please make it ranked next time. as it stands i'm down for next week wednesday. same time. same place.
Re: Warhawk Wednesdays Official Event!
I'll post next weeks maps and modes tomorrow. A lot of potential, not all of it was realized. Overall, I had fun, so that's all that counts. We had poor community input so it's not sushi's fault it was different than expected. Can't expect him to know what we know. We have 1000's of hours in this game combined, he has like 2. So I'm going to step up and just tell him what to do. Tomorrow.
At yadunnknow: I wasn't mad that you were hoppin around. I know that's just a glitchy lag thing, I was just lettin you know.
gg's everyone and Order...goml scrub.
Re: Warhawk Wednesdays Official Event!
sounds fun.
Re: Warhawk Wednesdays Official Event!
Had a good time, sorry about my husband taking up a second spot, I figured if there was room that late in the rounds, then it was okay. I also thought the list was just so Sushi got a good feel as to the actual interest and people wanting to participate. Didn't realize it was hard and fast list to adhere to. My bad. Then to make it worse, he's a probation officer and a deputy sheriff - and got a call from the sheriff about a 'client' of his who was cooking meth. That's why he was inactive for a little bit - he had to discuss things with the SO. I'll not invite him to play next time, especially since he's started on these vicious MarkJay-esque rages. He's no fun to play with anymore.
Wait. Can I ask for two spots if its split screen next time? Ranked would be better - there's not near enough good PR servers out there anymore. Used to love Leos, now it sux.
That being said, I'm starting to think I need to do like my brother - have two ps3's in one house.
And yes, while the all talk was fun - it does make it hard to strategize. I know I heard my team report on a tank in a certain place, going a certain way, so we could intercept, and guess what? That tank knew we were coming.
I would also like to apologize to Fitch for my husband calling him something profane after he tossed a grenade and killed him.
And lastly - it was great to catch a glimpse of what Old School Warhawk is like. The teamwork and organization was a refreshing change. I tried to do as told, for once, since I wasn't getting screamed at by some jerk who didn't even have ten points under his belt.
PS - I did my best to live up to my enthusastic talk here. Nothing sux worse than talk the talk, then fail miserably when it comes time to walk the walk. I also stayed the H3LL out of a plane unless I was hitching a ride to the middle base.
Re: Warhawk Wednesdays Official Event!
That's pretty good, LP As constructive criticism, which you are free to do for my image, lighten up the two 'W's, make the red and blue explosions in the background more fluid, and lessen the Soften on the 'Wednesdays' text.
Do you know how to use a Layer Mask? If you add one and use a white-and-black Gradient Tool, you can make the red-and-blue explosions in the background more fluid
Re: Warhawk Wednesdays Official Event!
I would like to add two random players I know weren't on the list, but jumped in last night - but I wish they had been or will be on the list next week, simply because I've always enjoyed playing with them: Maui2 and SgtSpicoli.
Great players, I have more experience with Maui than Spicoli, but both are go-getters and don't play like tools.

Zeno's Paradoxes
Greek philosopher Zeno proved that movement was impossible with a few simple paradoxes.

|Parmenides of Elea
(Public domain photo)
Even if you think you haven't heard of them by name, you'll recognize them. The most familiar of Zeno's paradoxes states that I can't walk over to you because I first have to get halfway there, and once I do, I still have to cover half the remaining distance, and once I get there I have to cover half of that remaining distance, ad infinitum. There are an infinite number of halfway points, and so according to logic, I'll never be able to get there. But it's easy to prove this false by simply doing it, which we can all do. So we have a paradox, a contradiction, something that must be true but which, clearly, is not. Does there exist a solution which adequately addresses the contradicting phenomena? Some say there is; some say there is not.
Zeno of Elea was a Greek philosopher, born about 490 BCE, and was a devotee of Parmenides, founder of the Eleatic school of thought in what is now southern Italy. Zeno survives as a character in Plato's dialog titled Parmenides, and from this we know what the Eleatic school was about and where Zeno was coming from with his paradoxes. Parmenides taught (in part) that the physical world as we perceive it is an illusion, and that the only thing that actually exists is a perpeutal, unchanging whole that he called "One Being". What we perceive as movement is not physical movement at all, just different interpretations or appearances of the One Being. Personally, I think they smoked a lot of weed at the Eleatic school, but Zeno was into this and came up with his paradoxes in order to support Parmenides' view of the world. Zeno's paradoxes were intended to prove that movement must be impossible, therefore Parmenides must be right.
He is believed to have developed a total of about nine such paradoxes, but they were never published. The most famous and interesting are his three paradoxes of motion:
First is the paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, who contrived to have a footrace. Achilles, knowing he was the swifter, gave the tortoise a hundred-meter head start. In the time that it took Achilles to travel the hundred meters, the tortoise moved ten, so that when Achilles got there he found the tortoise still had a lead. In the time it took Achilles to run those ten, the tortoise moved another meter. No matter how many times Achilles advanced to the tortoise's last position, the tortoise had crept forward a bit more by the time he got there. Even though Achilles would seem to be the faster runner, it was impossible for him to ever catch the tortoise.
Second and most famous is the so-called dichotomy paradox, in which we repeatedly rend in twain every distance to be traveled. For Homer to walk to the bus stop, he must get halfway there. Once arrived, he must travel half of the remaining distance, and so on and so on, with 1/8 the distance remaining, then 1/16, then 1/32, then 1/64; he will have an infinite supply of remaining distances to travel, and thus can never arrive at the stop.
The third is the paradox of the fletcher who finds that all of his arrows are unable to move at all. At any given instant in time, the arrow is motionless in flight. During that frozen moment, the arrow cannot move at all, since it has no time in which to do it. Time consists of an infinite succession of moments, in each of which the arrow is unable to move. Nowhere can we find a given instant in which the arrow has time to move, and so no matter how many such instants we have, the arrow can neither fly nor fall to the ground.
Zeno's paradoxes are often touted by some people as evidence that physics or science are wrong. If an ancient Greek philosopher can describe a simple situation, which our intuition tells us is obviously correct, it's easy for us to assign it more significance than we do the confusing jumble that is modern science. Why should we listen to Einstein, who gives us a lot of unfathomable equations, when Zeno's elegant fables prove that the physical world is not as science tells us it should be? Given this line of reasoning, it's hardly surprising that Zeno has become something of a darling to some New Age supporters of a spiritual, not a physical, universe.
Famously, upon hearing the paradoxes, a fellow philosopher named Diogenes the Cynic simply stood up, walked around, and sat back down again. My kind of guy. His response may have been glib, but it elegantly refuted Zeno's claim. At least, it refuted the physical implications of the claim, it did not address the philosophical aspects; nor did it provide the mathematical solutions.
Zeno's paradoxes are an interesting intersection between mathematics and philosophy. Mathematically, it's trivial to calculate exactly when and where Achilles will overtake the tortoise, but the philosophical argument remains (apparently) intractable. Bertrand Russell described the paradoxes as "immeasurably subtle and profound". So philosophers have come up with some pretty interesting efforts to try and resolve this.
One such tactic concerns the Planck length, which is the smallest possible unit of length within the Planck system. Planck units are all based on universal physical constants, such as the speed of light and the gravitational constant. Philosophically it's reasonably accurate to describe the Planck length as a quantum of distance, the smallest possible unit. This means that there are a finite number of Planck lengths (albeit a staggeringly large number of them) along the racetrack of Achilles and the tortoise, and between Homer and the bus stop. There cannot be an infinite number of points, and so Homer will eventually be able to arrive. However, while this sounds like it might elegantly solve the paradox, it doesn't. It's not possible to force a quantum solution onto a geometric problem. A simple illustration of why this is so is to imagine a very small right triangle with its two equal sides each of one Planck length. The hypotenuse would have to be √2 Planck lengths, which is not possible. Planck doesn't apply here. Despite efforts to conclude otherwise, we are dealing with infinities here. Or... are we?
Intuitively, we understand 0.9 (0.9999999...) to be a value that forever approaches 1 but never quite gets there. This is fine as a concept and a thought experiment, but it is mathematically wrong. 0.9 does in fact equal 1; they are simply two different ways of writing the same value. It's easy to prove this to most people's satisfaction by dividing both values by 3. Both 1 ÷ 3 and 0.9 ÷ 3 equal 0.3, therefore both are equal to each other. Another way of looking at it is to consider the fraction 1/9, which is equal to 0.1. 2/9 is equal to 0.2, and so on, all the way up to 8/9 = 0.8 and 9/9 = 0.9, and we all know that 9/9 = 1. When we divide the number 1 into 9 equal slices, that top slice goes all the way up to exactly 1, a finite and reachable number.
If this spins your brain inside your skull, realize that you already accept many other interpretations of the same idea. Consider any other number whose decimal value is an infinite repeating series, say 3/7. It equals 0.428571 and we all accept that it equals 3/7, not "a number approaching 3/7 but that never quite gets there." It's two ways of writing the same thing.
It's the same concept when Homer takes his final step and places his foot down, completing his journey to the bus stop. He did not take a journey of infinite length. We can write an equation that describes how his final step consists of an infinitely reiterating series of smaller and smaller fractions, just as Zeno said:
We in the brotherhood call this an absolutely converging series, and contrary to Zeno's understanding, it equals 1.
Another popularly proposed solution, particularly for the fletcher's paradox, involves time and speed. Zeno, charges his critics, only considered the distances and geometry involved; and since he left time out of his paradoxes completely, he also excluded speed, since speed is a function of distance and time. When a body is in motion, its position is always changing. Motion is fluid, it is not a ratcheted series of jumping from point to point. Consequently, at any given moment in time, a moving body has no single exact position. Zeno's conjecture, that the arrow is always frozen at some point, cannot be observed, reproduced, or computed, since that's not the way things move. Imagine taking a photograph of a moving object. There will always be some motion blur. No matter how fast is the shutter of your camera, even infinitesimally fast, there will always be some tiny amount of blur. There is no such thing as a moving arrow frozen in time.
Similarly, Zeno's computation that Achilles will never catch the tortoise also omits time. Zeno's premise assumes that each segment of the race, wherein Achilles advances to the tortoise's previous position, takes some amount of time; and since there is an infinite number of such segments, it will take Achilles an infinite amount of time. This is also wrong. As the physical length of each segment decreases exponentially, in a converging series, so does the time it takes Achilles to traverse it. Achilles' time to catch the tortoise is represented by a converging series that equals a finite number.
Achilles will catch the tortoise, because the very succession of segments proposed by Zeno add up to a finite distance that Achilles will cover in a finite amount of time.
Homer will reach the bus stop, because all of those infinitely compounding fractional segments are an absolutely converging series equal to a finite distance.
The fletcher's arrow is always in motion once it is shot, at no instant in time is it ever frozen with a fixed position from which it has no time to move.
So to summarize Zeno's paradoxes, they're basically word games that play upon an easily misunderstood mathematical concept. There is no paradox, because Zeno's math was wrong.

A runner begins running.
He moves off the start line, and moves forward 1/1,000,000th of the Planck length (note: infinite-series, used to mathematically "solve" Zeno's Paradoxes means movement through all increments, including infinitely shorter than the Planck Length).
What parts of the body are responsible for that movement, given that the ions and electrons in the body are quanta that do no move continuously? What is it within the body that is NOT comprised of electrons and ions, that could cause muscles (and thus the runner's body) to move such a distance?
See, I replied to this sarcastically earlier with 'impulses from the brain' but that is legitimately the answer to your question, an electrical impulse. Which is electrons moving from one atom to another. Also, electrons DO move constantly that's just... that's just fact.
Also, given it's infinitely smaller than planck, just vibrating on the spot would probably get you there (which is something molecules do in a solid).
Now, would you kindly explain how you have something infinitely smaller than Planck? My understanding of infinite would imply that's nonsensical.
"an electrical impulse. Which is electrons moving from one atom to another. Also, electrons DO move constantly that's just... that's just fact."
What evidence do you have to contradict David Bohm's "according to the quantum theory, movement is not fundamentally continuous"?
Also, simply stating "electrical impulse" does nothing to explain correlation of movement with cause.
As for infinitely smaller than the Planck length -- that's required by infinite-series solutions, which involve infinitely shorter increments than any increment you care to consider. Infinite means for whatever increments, there's still infinitely more shorter ones within that increment. It's never-ending. That's the literal meaning of infinite. Never-ending, endless, limitless, boundless, forever more, etc.
So my example of 1/1,000,000 (one one-millionth) the Planck length is but a drop in a bottomless bucket of ever shorter lengths which the body somehow causes to be traversed, with each being related to a distinct physical cause (assuming adherence to standard deterministic scientific theory: cause <-> effect (aka physical movement). Noting here that "momentum" or "inertia" cannot be assigned as the cause, since momentum (p) = h/λ
"What evidence do you have to contradict David Bohm's "according to the quantum theory, movement is not fundamentally continuous"?"
A very basic understanding of the atom? If you want to describe it in quantum terms, the electron isn't moving in a motion sense but it's occupying more than one point at a time. Perhaps it's easier to just say the electron's don't stop then start. For references, http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/23453/how-can-one-describe-electron-motion-around-hydrogen-atom might be helpful
"As for infinitely smaller than the Planck length -- that's required by infinite-series solutions, which involve infinitely shorter increments than any increment you care to consider"
Right, and this is the problematic part, the Planck length is the fundamental limit on the accuracy of measurement. What you're describing is an abstract concept applied to a non-abstract frame. Like the problem with halving the distance, and the very point of bringing in Planck as Brian did,if you make up an alternate reality where things can be both infinitely small and infinitely huge and generally infinite then, yes, these are valid inquiries. But this seems to be the core of the problem, you say the body moves over an infinite distance whereas I say it travels a finite one with finite energy with understandable causes. If you take a balanced equation and make one of the numbers infinity then naturally it'll cease to make sense because you're applying it to a finite series.
you wrote: "Right, and this is the problematic part, the Planck length is the fundamental limit on the accuracy of measurement."
I'm unaware that anyone has experimentally verified that to be the case. It is merely conjecture, theoretical.
In any case, you've ignored the issue -- I did not write "infinite distance" I wrote infinite increments.
What bodily processes account for being the physical cause of the physical effect (aka physical movement) through each and EVERY one of those increments?
Infinite-series solutions, again, assuming standard deterministic science's absolute, unambiguous correspondence of every physical effect having a physical cause, requires each increment to have a clearly identifiable physical cause.
And that's for each and every one of those increments. Every last one of them. No exceptions.
Either that or you've dismissed standard cause-effect correspondence, and entered new territory -- as have many leading physicists who recognise the obvious.
I should add that any mention of measurement (or the limits thereof) is irrelevant to the issue of Zeno's Paradoxes.
The Uncertainty Principle is a principle. It stands irrespective of any need to measure anything.
Likewise, my posts here concern principles, ideas and concepts that remain independent of any need of anyone to measure anything.
The question "what bodily processes account for ... physical movement through an endless series of physical increments" does not need anyone to measure anything. No instruments required -- except for one: the mental instrument of logic, analysis and reason.
Zeno's paradoxes worked to protect the "ONE" against the "MANY".
Idealism: The side A of a square and its diagonal C are incommensurable, and that CC is equal to 2AA.
Materialism: The side A of a square and its diagonal C are commensurable, and that CC is not equal to 2AA.
The "ONE" in the ancient Greek philosophy: CC is equal to 2AA.
The "MANY" in the ancient Greek philosophy: CC is not equal to 2AA.
(Refer to "eurekainla 01" from Google)
The double slit experiment has been performed many times during the last decades. In short it shows that a particle's behaviour depends on wether it is observed or not. If you don't have a scientific beliefsystem in front of your eyes it is easy to understand what is going on in this experiment. Since particles dont have eyes or brains the only way to explain this behaviour is to accept that they are "computergenerated" when we (our consciousness) observe them.
When we accept that the particle we observe is computergenerated we also have to accept that every object we observe also is computergenerated, since objects are supposed to be made of particles.
There are other indicators that tells us this is a VR too. Example: just look up what "maximum frames per second" refers to, and compare it with the fact that the universe has its speed of light, Plancklength and Plancktime. If it looks like a duck and walks and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck.
In short what the Achilles and tortoise paradox says is that an object cannot move through an infinite number of points on its way from A to B. In other words the number of points has to be finite, which is just another way of saying that this is a virtual reality. How else could objects skip between points? Every object here is moved just like an object in a computergame, and there is no paradox.
This is my understanding of what Tom Campbell (My big Toe) says, but you should Google him and check it out yourself.
1. It occurs to me that any point in either of the journey's described is exactly 1/2 way to another point twice the distance away. Zeno gives us that one can move 1/2 way to anywhere with ease. Zeno's paradoxes only lead to the probable conclusion that one can never totally accomplish a journey to infinity, even if travel segments are infinitely long.
2. The moving arrow cannot stop and start again as such an action is a contradiction that the arrow is moving as stated in the first assertion. What we recognize now as a tautology, a logical fallacy and unsupportable. Additionally, this stop action offends the now known laws of motion and inertia. After seeing that, then see item 1 above.

It is clear to me that Zeno's Paradoxes are debated by people who spend entirely too much time indoors. This stunts your common sense.

I think my expectations were too high for such a cheap private room. Windowless and smelled like sewage, but a comfy bed and incredibly nice staff. Wouldn't go back, it's too far from everything (at least for the low season)

5 minute walk from the pier. Room was basic but comfy. Good air con and good wifi to skype on. However there is only one bathroom on each floor which could get busy as there could be up to 8 people per floor. However we were the only ones there for 2 nights so it was fine. The walls are paper thin and you can hear conversations from two rooms down. Nice beaches a short taxi drive away but found Koh Lanta quite due to it being out of season. Shops/bars closed as it was out of season.

I really enjoyed my stay at Lanta House! The staff is super friendly and amazing! They made my stay comfortable and pleasant. The hostel is good - I started my trip on Koh Lanta there and after staying at another hostel later on came back for two more nights! The location is perfect to explore the more alive part of the islands, it is 5 minutes walk of the pier (no taxi needed). There is a big supermarket nearby, a bank, street food, restaurants, market and 7/11. I highly recommend it to you!

Comfortable and Friendly
After days of being in run down hotels, the Ibis was a welcome change. Upon check in the front desk agent was friendly and knowledgable. They had a computer for internet access that was complimentary. We were there for the Rugby World Cup, so the location was great - just a few blocks from the centre of town. The room was small but as we were not spending much time there but to sleep, it wasn't an issue. The important thing is that it was clean and modern. I feel for the price I paid it was a great value.

I've used this recipe 3-4 times in the last year with very good results. As is, it's pretty close to the one I remember my Pittsburgh grandmother using 30+ years ago. The following tweaks are probably more a matter of personal taste than improvements. In any event, to turn up the flavor a bit, I like to substitute brown sugar for white, toss a couple of peeled garlic gloves into the pickling jar and let the eggs soak for at least 48 hours.flag if inappropriate
Very good and easy, but I agree with one reviewer that it was a little sweet. I'll use less sugar next time. I also added a small whole fresh chili (cut open and seeds removed) which gave it a good zip.flag if inappropriate
Asbolutely wonderful! This is a really versatile use of hard boiled eggs. I slice them into wedges and serve with the marinated beets and onions as a side dish, sliced over a salad or steak, or scoop out the yolks and make truly "deviled" eggs. I recommend that you toss in extra onion and beet wedges, and let it marinate for two or three days. Everyone loves the surprise of purple eggs! Really a winner!flag if inappropriate
Perfect pickled eggs!flag if inappropriate
Wonderful flavor!! So easy too!!! This recipe will be perfect as an appetizer for Easter dinner!flag if inappropriate
I was looking for a way to get beets into my menu and this worked well. Next time will let it sit longer, the eggs had minimal "pickled" flavor. It sat overnight in the fridge. Also, did not have whole allspice so I used powdered, that may have made a difference.flag if inappropriate
They sound horrible but they taste delicious. Pickled beet eggs are best when the vinegar has pickled and colored the egg white but has not yet penetrated the yolk, in my opinion. So I usually use them about one to two days after they go into the solution. They are marvelous sliced onto a green salad, just as you would use regular hard boiled eggs.flag if inappropriate
I made this with my dinner club when we did an "egg" theme and it was a hit. Very refreshing taste, and I was pleasantly surpised at how quickly the beets and eggs "pickled" as I didn't make this the day before as instructed. So easy and a nice change of pace to include in a spread of some sort.flag if inappropriate
Just the right pucker. Good pickled eggs too!flag if inappropriate
Very good indeed. I have used this recipe to pickle other vegetables as well. And I often use whole small baby beets (canned) instead of sliced. Heartily reccomended.flag if inappropriate

Today, a local theatrical troupe performs the longest-running symphonic drama, every summer since 1937, titled "The Lost Colony".

United Way will boost campaign donation goal
Joyce Eleanor, CEO of Community Transit and 2012 United Way campaign chair, made the announcement at United Way's annual awards for volunteers and community service at its annual Spirit of Snohomish County Breakfast on Thursday at the Tulalip Resort Casino.
Eleanor singled out Premera Blue Cross employees, whose $570,000 in pledges to United Way was more than any single company in Snohomish County other than the Boeing Employees Community Fund, which pledged $1.8 million.
United Way Snohomish County counted 13,957 donors in 2011 who gave an average of $325, she said. Those donations directly helped 346,979 people in the county last year. The organization raised more than $9 million in fiscal year 2010-2011 from corporate and individual donors.
The organization also gave its annual Spirit of Snohomish County awards.
• The Reeves-Sievers Founders' Award went to the Bob Smith Family, Mary Smith and Richard and Mayumi Smith. The late Bob Smith had a big reputation in Everett's philanthropy circles after the family moved to the city in 1955, earning him the name "Mr. Fundraiser." Bob and Mary Smith passed that spirit of helping the community to their son, Richard, and his wife, Mayumi.
"My dad Bob showed how easy it was to get involved," Richard Smith said. "In his memory and in honor of him, we humbly accept this award."
• Campbell's StockPot soup operation in Everett received United Way's Community Partner Award. Their employees' close work with Senior Services of Snohomish County's Meals on Wheels program gained attention. Campbell's Dollars for Doers incentive program gives $500 for every 25 hours an employee donates to an organization. That let Meals on Wheels buy fresh fruit to distribute with clients' meals.
• United Way's Labor Award went to Allyn Triezenberg, who works for the Snohomish County Labor Council. She coordinated local efforts on the U.S. Postal Service's annual letter carriers food drive and has organized many other labor service projects.
Thanks to her parents, Triezenberg said, "I didn't know what it was not to volunteer."
• Mary Jane Brell Vujovic received United Way's Adult Award for her work to improve others' lives. The Workforce Development Council of Snohomish County employee recalled starting her charity work as a child by collecting pennies in a milk carton for UNICEF.
"My mother taught me the value of service," Vujovic said.
• Dominick Juarez won United Way's Youth Award for his volunteer work at Cocoon House's U-Turn Resource Center. Amber Arrowsmith of Cocoon House said Juarez, a high school dropout and onetime gang member, knows how to help troubled kids since he was one himself. He turned his life around and now holds down three jobs, volunteers several hours each week at Cocoon House and attends Everett Community College. He said he plans to earn an associate's degree and transfer to the University of Washington to study biochemistry and neurobiology before continuing to dental school.
"He has dreams, he has goals," Arrowsmith said of Juarez.

If we continue to think about the Islamic State as a force to be fought on the battlefield, its second year will be worse than its first.
Tagged: Military Intervention
The Obama administration wants a rubber stamp on its unwise, unlimited, and unauthorized new war in the Middle East. It shouldn't get it.
There's no better time for Sunni and Shia to sit down together and address not just ISIS but the injustice, intolerance, and inequality that birthed it.
Phyllis Bennis joins MSNBC's The Last Word to discuss why current U.S. military strategy against ISIS isn't working and what alternative strategies should be used instead.
No matter who wins the election next month or whatever military force is raised and thrown against Boko Haram in the future, it is likely that the insurgency will continue.
Phyllis Bennis discusses the Obama administration's strategy to defeat the Islamic State in Syria and the regional challenges it faces on PBS NewsHour.
"This was a report looking back at examples where arming rebel troops worked — and the best [the CIA] could come up with was Afghanistan in the 1980s," says Phyllis Bennis.
Obama has been right — in rhetoric — about one thing: there is no military solution to defeating the Islamic State.
The Obama administration's war plans in Iraq and Syria are illegal, ill-conceived, and destined to fail. Here's what the U.S.—and you—can do instead.
The U.S. could turn to aid, arms embargo, and engaging foes.

Roe, Jr. of Baltimore Bariatrics & Body Contouring Center has helped his patients discard more than 60,000 total pounds—and counting—through Roux-Y gastric-bypass surgery. His battle against obesity extends beyond the knife to weight-management plans that take advantage of prescriptions and supplements, as well as physician-supervised diets that aid patients in reaching and maintaining their ideal circumference.

Embrace Health Colon TherapyRead MoreEmbrace Health Colon Therapy's certified therapist Nancy can help revitalize clients' general health. She says the colon is home to the body's largest concentrations of bacteria, and their build-up can leave people dragging through their day with chronic fatigue and digestive issues.

Nancy uses the FDA-approved, medical-grade Hydro San Plus system, which has disposable tubes that flush the colon with warm, filtered water. This water loosens and eliminates waste material, and also has a number of potential benefits. People who have used the treatment have reported that it helps with fatigue, tension, insomnia, and depression. Nancy recommends that clients have only light meals two hours before the session, which results in no downtime—in fact, most people feel lighter and more relaxed after a session. In addition to soothing clients through colon hydrotherapy, she offers acupuncture and massage services.1014 Dulaney Valley RoadTowson, MD US
