Almost 20 years after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska’s Prince William Sound, Dr. Riki Ott is still trying to explain to the world exactly what happened in her adopted hometown.
Scientist and fisherwoman Dr. Ott will read from her new book, Not One Drop: Betrayal and Courage in the Wake of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, at Elliott Bay Book Company on Monday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 PM.
Her firsthand account of the spill is unique because she tells the story from several viewpoints: a rookie “fisherma’am,” a highly educated scientist, and an active citizen working to protect her community.
Ott details her introduction into commercial salmon fishing in 1985 after receiving her master’s and doctorate studying marine pollution. She fell in love with the community of Cordova, Alaska and bought her own fishing boat.
Her academic expertise, coupled with her fishing experience, made her a perfect candidate for the political realm. She soon began working against the practically unregulated oil industry, tackling issues such as spill prevention and air and water pollution. This put her on the front lines when the Exxon Valdez spilled approximately 10 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound on March 24, 1989.
Ott describes the way oil companies were able the defeat or work around legislation meant to safeguard people and nature from disasters like Exxon Valdez. She tells a story that only she can tell, giving insight into the struggles of the community, the fishing industry, and the ecosystem itself.
This event is free. It is co-sponsored by People For Puget Sound, a non-profit organization working for a clean and healthy Sound through education, policy and action. Elliott Bay Book Company is located at 101 S. Main St. in Seattle. For more information, please contact Jamie Wine at (206) 382-7707.

Seattle

Jimmy's working class background sets the stage for a truly hysterical show. He has an unpretentious and hard-driving style that will keep you bending over in your chair.

I have a webform with 2 select fields, and the values have some HTML in them to get a nifty hover effect, explaining more about the values.

But it sends the HTML with the form results, which isn't really what I want, and it's annoying for the person who actually uses the form results.

I've been trying to futz around with the additional processing option and not really getting anywhere. Basically I'm wandering into one of those corners of Drupal about which I know nothing. The usual Googling doesn't seem to be helping me any, and my usual "smash it with rocks" experimentation techniques aren't working either. :)

1) Is there a straightforward way to do what I'm looking for?

2) If not, any ideas for getting the hover working in some way that gets the markup out of the field values?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Jane Lackey Artist Lecture
March 12, 2009 at 6:30pm: held in the Pratt Studios
Pratt Fine Arts Center welcomes accomplished artist Jane Lackey as a part of Pratt’s Master and Visiting Artist Program. She is an artist and educator who recently relocated her studio practice to Seattle. Her works on paper, paintings and installations take their form in relationship to our underlying physical systems. Neuroscience, genetics, patterns of speech and communication fuel an adaptation of materials and process, placing inner activity on the surface of mapped social geography. She was Artist-in-Residence and head of the graduate program in Fiber at Cranbrook Academy of Art between 1997 and 2007. Prior to that, she was a professor at Kansas City Art Institute

Lackey will teach a workshop entitled Material Drawing Intensive from March 13 - 16, 2009.
