CASCADIA EARTHQUAKE / TSUNAMI
By Daniel Boatwright
My lamp battered me awake, glass drenched my bedspread and the next thing I knew I saw was my giant wardrobe crashing on top of me. After I badgered out of my wardrobe, the windows of my apartment imploded. One eye went black and I could feel something tearing at my leg “I’m drowning”, my mind flooded with panic and for the briefest second I could see a wall clock and unless it had broken prior, it must have been 4 am. “Why was it light out”, my leg broke free and I clambered through the water to get my head above. Fire welcomed me to a world of contradictions, gasping for breath coughing from the smoke. I took a deep arid breath and took for the deep I swam out a window and climbed a bus. I hurled, what looked like pop rocks and grease came spewing out my mouth. Looked at a bloodied hand at this time I hadn’t noticed my sudden lack of a right view, BAM. I was knocked out of thought and into water people; faces I knew were floating like manikins in a horror flick. Reaching the surface came a rude awakening like god was attempting to patch me to the ground. The space needle hit. The immense wave had successfully delivered me to the top of a hill. I must have slipped out of continuousness and woke with more legroom the edge of my pedestal started to emerge. I rose to look beyond and with a snap fell on a bowed leg. The sound was tremendous loudest thing since my recent ordeal. I decided I was atop a building on some sort of grass court. I shifted and gurgled out my pain my vital fluids running down, pooling beneath me started waves of their own. A mechanical hymn alerted my curiosity. In a wave of shock I was placed on a stretcher. My city, my hometown in ruins beneath me. Others that made it on the rooftops screamed for my attention and for a second I didn’t know why my muffled calls echoed their pleas. But I was shut out by the copters hymn. The next time I adjusted my eye was to the L.E.D. lights laughing at my misfortunes. Then the gaulking faces of medical staff. Serenity flowed into my I.V with promises of sweet dreams. Several days later I awoke with no sweet dreams and not even morphine helped block the terrors I’ve seen. Memories of friends circle back to the sight of their bodies. Now only two months later and a whole lot of extensive physical therapy can I bring myself to Wright and record an unbelievable account of the Cascadia earthquake/tsunami

Graphing Quadratic Equations By Daniel Boatwright
Looking at quadratic equations can be confusing, but if you know how to spot whether the equations are upside down or rightside up and what numbers to pick out to actually solve the equation then looking at these equations might be a bit more straightforward. The first thing you should spot is is whether the squared number is positive or negative. This determines the direction of the graph upside down to negative right side up to positive. In quadratic equations there are 3 main values an a value, the squared number, a b value, the x valued number, and a c value, the number with no coefficient. If you can spot these values you can plug them into certain formulas like the vertex and quadratic formulas. Finding these values and indicators are crucial to not getting confused when confronted by such problems and in the long run will help you graph any quadratic equation.
