Softball Opens Season Friday at FIU Tournament
Related Links
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville University softball team opens its season this Friday, Feb. 7, in the weekend Felsberg Memorial Tournament in Miami, Fla.
The Dolphins, selected to finish seventh in the Atlantic Sun preseason poll, start the tournament on Friday against Big East member DePaul at 1:30 p.m. before clashing against host school and C-USA member Florida International University (FIU) at 6:30 p.m. On Saturday, Jacksonville will face an early 10 a.m. game against the ACC Maryland Terrapins.
"I'm really excited to open the season this weekend down in Miami," said third-year Head Coach Ali Higgs. "The three teams we will face have all had a lot of success in the past and every game is going to be competitive.
"Our team is really focused and has been working really hard the past three weeks [and] I feel like we are prepared and ready to go."
In 2013, Jacksonville continued its winning ways of earning 30 or more wins for the fourth straight season, but fell just shy of earning a spot in the Atlantic Sun Tournament.
As a team, the Fins ended its season ranked second in the A-Sun in team fielding (.966) and third in batting average (.286).
Seniors Karson Tuck, Miranda Fleming, Codi Kelly and Meagan Balding highlight the 2014 lineup, along with eight returnees and six freshmen, including 2013 Gatorade Oklahoma Softball Player of the Year, Jessi Walker.
Tuck started all 50 games played last season. She ranked second on the team in batting average (.348) and RBI (39) and tied for second in hits (56), doubles (9) and fielding double plays (3). She tallied 23 runs, completed 17 multi-hit games, and held a 14-game hitting streak from March 17 to April 7.
Fleming played in 13 games, starting two, and earned her lone run against Ball State on March 3 where she also recorded one hit and two RBI. Kelly, who started all 52 games played, led the Dolphins in triples (3) and fielding double plays (5). Kelly finished .302 with eight doubles, three triples, four homers and 19 RBI.
Balding finished fourth on the Fins in fielding percentage (.983), tallied eight runs, recorded 11 RBI and had four multi-hit games.
DePaul, which was chosen to win the Big East Conference in the preseason poll, swept Jacksonville 4-0 in 2010 during the only meeting between the two schools.
Selected to finish sixth in the C-USA preseason poll and sixth in the ACC preseason poll, respectively, Florida International and Maryland most recently beat Jacksonville in 2012 and 2011. FIU has won three of four meetings dating back to the 2009 season, while Maryland just edged Jacksonville 2-1 in eight innings during their only meeting in 2011.

Germany was in ruins when that guy Hitler was removed. Should never have gotten involved there.
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
" Yes Saddam was a dictator but he posed no threat to us."To say that an expansionist megalomaniac throttling the Persian Gulf was no threat to us is more than a little naive, sir. You're not one of those 'I don't need oil, I ride the bus' types, are you?
Let's come at this from a different direction. What I hear you saying is "We took Saddam out because he threatened our oil supply, not because he was an unstable expansionist." Is that correct?Here's what I'm saying to you: you cannot separate the two. It was because he was an unstable expansionist that he became a threat to our oil. If he hadn't been an unstable expansionist, he wouldn't have been a threat and we wouldn't have had to take him out.

For BLU, all runners will run a 2 mile loop course on flat, groomed trails; meandering through one of Southern California's premier educational camps, complete with a canoe lake, sprawling horse pastures, private meadows and at night you'll even pass a traditional bonfire (think S'Mores). While the entire course consists of packed trails, there is a 0.10 mile section of the course where you have the option of stepping two feet to the right and running on a smooth, private road. If you show-up healthy and fit, there's a very strong chance you will PR on this course (31 hour time limit). For the BLU RELENTLESS course, expect technical rolling single track loops on 5.5 miles, with 436 feet of elevation gain every loop. Approximately 1.25 miles of the loop are run through the flat, groomed trails on part of the original BLU course complete with a canoe lake and sprawling horse pastures. What could possibly make this endurance race even better? How about staying Friday night on-site and only being feet away from the race start? A bunk style shared cabin means a roof over your head, a comfy bed and a hot shower available throughout the weekend.

Hitting the Road: Denny's Baconalia!
I just wanted to give everyone a quick update from GrubGrade's latest road trip. As part of the launch of their new Bacon Menu, dubbed "Baconalia" (a sort of festival of bacon), Denny's flew in a few of us food bloggers to their headquarters in South Carolina for a first hand look, and taste, of their latest offerings. For right now, I'll just give you the basics on what this is all about and follow up with my reviews in the coming days.
As I mentioned, Baconalia, is a term the Denny's ad wizards made up as a sort of fictional bacon holiday. The basic idea was to create celebration centered around bacon, elevating it from everyone's favorite breakfast side dish, to the main attraction. In other words, rather than ordering eggs with a side of bacon, Denny's wants you to order bacon with a side of eggs.
The menu consists of 7 new items: BBBLT Sandwich, Triple Bacon Sampler, Ultimate Bacon Breakfast, Pepper Bacon with Eggs, Bacon Flapjacks, Bacon Meatloaf, and Maple Bacon Sundae. The BBBLT, Ultimate Bacon Breakfast, and Bacon Flapjacks can all be ordered with either the traditional Hickory Smoked Bacon, Turkey Bacon or their new Pepper Bacon at no additional cost (this isn't really spelled out in the menu, so I thought I would let everyone know). You can also order two slices of any of the three bacons as a side, for 99 cents (again, not spelled out on the menu, but I've been told the waitresses will be wearing pieces of "flair" letting you know this).
In general, if you like bacon, you'll like this menu. If you've always wanted more bacon than is socially acceptable, you'll like this menu. And if you'd like an inordinate amount of bacon for as good a price as you're going to get these days (pork is at a ten year high), you'll like this menu. However, if you're thinking this bacon menu is going to be full of fun, gimicky, adventuresome, bacon dishes, you'll be a little underwhelmed. Aside from the Maple Bacon Sundae, most of the items are pretty standard fare, just with more bacon. This isn't to say that the menu isn'tfull of good tastes and good value, it's just to say that Andrew Zimmern probably isnt' doing his next episode from the back of a Denny's.
Again, more details to come, but I thought I should get something up as soon as I could, since this promotion is only 10 weeks long and started on Wednesday, the 22nd (you'll have to do the math on when that has it ending).

Water Services completes work to replace water main and restore 10th Street between Main & Walnut
City of Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department crews completed the restoration of 10th Street between Main and Walnut streets on Friday, June 8.
Replacement of the new water main was completed earlier this week, and the street restoration was completed today and reopened to traffic.
"WSD had two contractor crews working both day and night to replace the main as quickly as possible," said Water Services Director Terry Leeds."This main had broken a couple times over the past year causing costly street and property damage and inconvenience to consumers, and given these factors, including the age of the pipe which had a date stamp of 1896, the main needed to be replaced."
For more information, contact Colleen Doctorian, public information officer for the Water Services Department, at 816-513-0232.
The Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department maintains and operates water collection, processing and distribution systems, stormwater management and control systems, and waste water collection and processing systems for residential and business customers in Kansas City and for wholesale customers in the Kansas City region. Operation is funded entirely by fees charged to customers based on their use of products and services, not by taxes.

Advanced Imaging in Missoula is kicking off October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month by offering free mammograms to uninsured or under-insured woman.
Michelle Weaver Knowles, who is the Breast Health Navigator, recommended that women start performing breast self exams every month after their menstrual cycle, beginning at the age of 20. She said that 20 to 30-year-old women should get a breast exam and a pelvic exam from their primary health care provider every year. Women who are 40-years-old and older are recommended to get a mammogram every year.
Weaver Knowles added that the Montana Cancer Screening program offers funding to help women cover these medical costs.
"There's no excuse not to get your mammogram," Weaver Knowles said. "It only takes 15 minutes to come over here and get your screening mammogram done. Besides the Montana Cancer Screening Program, we have funds in our foundation, if you don't meet their criteria, so there's no excuse not to get your mammogram."
Weaver Knowles said there are income, household and age requirements when applying for these funds.
If you have any questions or would like to scheduled an appointment for a mammogram, call (406) 327-3950.

Deep orange colour, fairly dense ring of white head, some lace. Smell is of cheese, quite funky, a bit of blasmaic and wine, quite acidic witha bit of lemon to it as well. Taste is funky with a sour/balsamic flavour, tart apple skins, lemon with a dry acidity, malt flavours with a dry acidity. Medium carbonation, medium bodied. A fairly nice gueuze, the nose is a bit off putting initially but overall it's quite drinkable.

Bottle shared by Pino, 750ml into a tulip. 2012 vintage.
Hazy reddish brown, voluminous white head. Great lace and light retention. Nose of old cheese, woody, earthy, malty vinegar and white wine. Taste of tart apple juice, lemons, dark bread, malty and although still cheesy, is less so than the nose. Denser and maltier than I had anticipated, tartness is medium. Cheesier than I would've liked, but still interesting to try.

375ml bottle into Cantillon gueuze tumbler. Cork says REF BX 2013. Who knows.
A: Pours a clear citrus amber with a finger of fuzzy off-white head that faded into a thick soft looking film. Streaks of lace were left down the glass.
S: Fruits and funk, but not that typical earthy barnyard funk. This smells very different than the black label; this funk is more fecal and fruity, like fermented fruit mixed with rotten fruit. I love me some funk, but to be honest this doesn't smell great. Smells like vomit frankly.
T: More fermented fruits, hints of stomach acid, sweet candied sugar or caramel, musty oxidization, dry oak, earth and earthy spice, pepper faded hops and apple juice. Sour candy finish is pretty tame, and the sweet fruity aftertaste is reminiscent of prunes, plumes, figs, and honey.
M: Airy, fluffy carbonation, medium body, slick and frothy mouthfeel.
O: Definitely not my favorite, and a disappointment compared to black label. Drinkable, but not pleasant.

Lined up nine different gueuze for a comparison the other night. This one finished dead last. Just horrible. Got this bottle at De Bierkoning in Amsterdam, for what it's worth.
From a 33cl bottle into a mini sinfter
APPEARANCE: Pours a two finger, thinner, loose white head with good retention. Clear gamboge orange with higher levels of carbonation evident. Head fades to a good cap that sticks around. Looks fine.
SMELL: Totally different than all the other gueuze. Fruity and plenty of ginger on the nose, with some orange peel and floral notes. Some very light funky aromas, but this is more ginger and fruit. Doesn't resemble a gueuze at all.
TASTE: Same story here. Ginger comes out first, with some caramel sweetness and floral bitterness at swallow. Quite mild and not gueuze-like at all. Some light funk shows up, but the sour ginger flavor is just unpleasant. Pretty lousy.
PALATE: Medium body and lower levels of carbonation. Watery on the palate, goes down fine and finishes a little stickier than the others.
OVERALL: Very different than the others in the style. The added sweetness really didn't do this any good, as the resulting ginger is quite off-putting. Not something I ever want to lay eyes on again. Easily the worst of the lineup. Was glad to introduce this to drain.

Thanks for sharing! Snifter. Tasted after a really nice bottle of Black Label.
Dark orange and transparent with a big creamy white head that rises above the liquid about two inches. Scattered lacing. The aroma is of lemon, barnyard, and a light mustiness. It's really toned down from the Black Label. There's a little oak. The flavor possesses a simple lactic sourness with a mellow tartness. Lightly oaky and citric with a little leather and barnyard, but the filtering seems to have stripped this beer of positive attributes and turned it into Gueuze light. The beer is lower medium body with high carbonation. An okay beer in its own right, but pales in comparison to the Black Label.

Cork dated 2011, served side by side with Black Label 1882.
Right off the bat, the color is a deeper copper-tinged crystalline amber orange than the paler Black Label. There are also larger bubbles rising persistently from the base of the glass. Head retention is not as good, after 5 minutes the head has completely vanished with no lacing. There was some residue in the bottom of the bottle, oddly enough for a filtered product.
Smells oaky with some citrus and cidery notes, not as funky as its unfiltered counterpart. A dash of malt sweetness and slight oxidation creeping in.
Tastes less complex with slight oxidation, though still quite oaky and cidery sour. Finish is very dry with a lingering moderate tartness on the back of the palate and some moderate tannic bitterness. Refreshing. Overall it's not bad, but its one-dimensional nature is a slight letdown. Not missing much, Black Label is certainly a cut above.
Thanks Eric for the opportunity to try this!

I'm floating through a weedy channel in the Potomac River, wearing a life vest, flippers and a facemask. The water is shallow, the current languid, yet I am concerned.
I examine the carpet of pebbles and shells. Sunfish and small bass eye me while keeping their distance.
I come upon a fat tire, festooned with algae. I knock on the tread to see if anyone is home. A small catfish pokes a whiskered snout over the rim, and then drifts back into its sanctuary.
All the members of the Potomac family were there, but with one exception: sponges.
You may remember a column, written about a year ago, in which I reported the first recorded sighting of a fresh water sponges in the main stem of the Potomac River. I found them at the head of an island upstream from Pennyfield Lock.
They didn't look like much, really more plant than animal. Still, I felt a rush of excitement and a sense of kinship―admittedly very distant―with the great naturalist explorers. Like them, I was traveling the earth―in this case, Montgomery County―making discoveries that would change our ideas about the natural world.
My first step was to learn this sponge's name. I contacted the Smithsonian Institution's sponge expert, Dr. Klaus Ruetzler, and he generously offered to help. The results came in: It was Dosilia radiospiculata, unusual along the eastern seaboard and notable for its tiny skeletal bodies called "spicules," which look like crystal jumping jacks.
A series of floods and the onset of cold weather ended my explorations for that year. But I resolved that next year I would look for other colonies, perhaps enlist others to help, and begin mapping Dosilia's distribution.
Something is different
In March, I headed for the gravel bar that had marked my sponges' location. But it had vanished over the winter. I didn't find a trace of sponges either, but concluded that it was still too early in the season.
As spring turned into summer, weeds began to fill the river, practically shore to shore. The open shallows where I had previously found the sponges became clogged with plants, undulating in the gentle current. I searched hard, but still no sponges.
Other things had also changed. For example, I was finding large numbers of largemouth bass, which normally favor quieter, weedier places. Normally, this part of the river, with its moving water and rocky bottom, holds only smallmouth bass.
Still optimistic that something would turn up, I decided to unveil my sponge to the public. I chose an Earth Day exhibit at the Izaak Walton League chapter in Poolsville.
It didn't go well. My exhibit neighbor was a personable young woman from the Maryland Department of sources. Her table's centerpiece was a fox pelt, thick and luxurious. Mine was a dried out sponge that resembled a chunk of cinder.
What could I tell people about sponges that would make them feel my excitement? I had to think fast, since a mother with two children was approaching my table.
"It's the first fresh water sponge ever recorded in the Potomac River," I announced. The little girl dropped her mother's hand and headed off to stroke the fox pelt. Her brother followed.
One last chance: "Sponges take in water through pores on their body," I said. "They absorb the nutrients, and then expel the water." The mother thanked me politely and joined her children.
The river plays its tricks
Then in early August my luck changed. In a shallow channel, among the familiar clams and big, rough mussels, I spotted something different. It was no more than a clump of pebbles and shells, held together by what seemed to be something "spongy." Then I found a second clump.
I sent a sample to Dr. Ruetzler, who later confirmed it was indeed a sponge, and the same species.
I have continued to scour that spot and elsewhere up and down the river. But those two tiny clumps were the river's only assurance that the sponges were alive and presumably well.
What happened? Probably nothing out of the ordinary. The river is always changing, from day to day, year to year. For those of us who were brought up believing in the balance of nature, the river challenges our assumptions. It tricks us and upsets our plans.
After a whole season of searching, the river teased me with those two tiny sponges. "Keep looking," the river tells me. And I will.

A Liberty City boy has started his own t-shirt company to help pay for others to mission around the world.
Braeden Simmons, who is now thirteen, started the company when he was twelve after a mission trip to Panama.
"I wanted to do something to help people go on mission trips and experience what I experienced and tell other people about Jesus," said Braeden. "I've been able to help 7 missionaries go overseas."
Braeden says buying these shirts doesn't just help pay for someone's trip.
"If you buy one of these shirts, that's a possibility that you're helping one person receive Christ," said Braeden.
At just eleven years old, Braeden recognized missionary work as his calling. He has partnered with The Cap House in Kilgore to manufacture the shirts he has designed himself.
"I just dig through the Bible and try to find scriptures that mean something to me and then I sketch the ideas and the designs," said Braeden
"He's been a big inspiration. You don't meet boys like this these days and so I think he's pretty awesome to take on something like this,"said Diane Bumgardner, the owner of The Cap House. "It has been a real pleasure to work with him and his t-shirts."
Braeden says the response for his t-shirts has grown rapidly. Local businesses like The Exchange have picked up the shirts. They say they are in popular demand and often have to put shirts on hold.
"They come here specifically for the shirts and then we have others ask about it and once they hear the story, they're quick to buy a shirt," said Amy Bixby, the owner of The Exchange.
Although she says it is scary to let him go on missions, Braeden's mom says she respects his calling.
"As much as God can protect him here, He can protect him even more over there whenever he's doing His will through Braeden," said Amy Simmons, Braeden's mom.

It's hard to argue against the fact that Morgan Freeman played a convincing Nelson Mandela in the 2009 movie Invictus, and a billboard designer in India was seemingly so convinced by the actor that Freeman's photo was used instead of the late South African leader's in a memorial.
The mix-up was discovered Thursday outside of the southern city of Coimbatore, AFP reports, with a photo of the 76-year-old actor on a memorial dedicated to the anti-apartheid icon, who died Dec. 5. The merchant who paid for the billboard, which also features images of Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., blamed the error on the designer. He said it will be replaced.
The cycle of confusing Morgan Freeman for other people, however, will likely continue.
Oh no they didn't?! Billboard in India mistook Morgan Freeman for Nelson Mandela?! http://t.co/K53yDHrqPM—

The earliest fossil of the homo sapiens family (human beings) was found in Ethiopia, dating back more than 200,000 years. Compared to this length of time, even the "ancient Sumerians" from 6000 B.C. are drooling toddlers.
Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.
In June 2001 the African Union was formed, consisting of 53 African States organized, like in the EU, around common economic and political development.

Volvo 145 Parts
Volvo 145 Parts
\ The 140 series are cars produced by Volvo beginning in 1966. These models of Volvos had new styling that was different than the previous styling which was more old-fashioned looking. This was the first series to have the now classic boxy Volvo style that was seen on all models well through the 1990s before the S80 brought around stylistic changes that would put an end to that look. This was also the first Volvo series to use a three number system to name the models (tri-digit nomenclature) which also became a common practice for future years. The three models in the series were the 142 which was a 2-door sedan, the 144 4-door sedan, and the 145 being the 5-door estate wagon of the lineup. The series ended mainly in 1974 when it was replaced by the similarly styled 240 series, although the model continued into the 1975 model year in some markets. As you browse our Volvo 145 catalog, you'll find that we have a wide variety of Volvo 145 parts available to enhance the quality and performance of your Volvo.
These cars were introduced over four and a half decades ago and many can still be found on the road to this day. This is all possible because Volvo 145 parts were made with the same quality and precise engineering that modern Volvos are so well known for. Keep your Volvo 145 on the road with the practical application of our Volvo 145 parts. Here at FCP Euro we are dedicated to helping you keep your car in good running order for you to enjoy for years to come. 145 original parts have proven themselves to be durable and long lasting, but over time many things need to be serviced or maintained, and we're sure to have what you need in our Volvo 145 catalog.

I took my 4 year old son and my wife (or did they take me?) to the movie UP! over the weekend. First off, I am loving the glorious 3D action that is making it's way back into theaters. It is good to see the industry figuring out that if you don't enhance the experience, it's far easier/cheaper to just download the movie and/or wait for Blockbuster to release it. The 3D experience is one worth paying for, and seemingly only available in the theaters. [Note to self for future post: Why can't you have 3D at home? And is it possible to have it in games?]
I didn't start this post to talk about 3D though, but a small surprise about the movie - which led me to thoughts about gaming, kids, and all that jazz. Does the expectation of certain entertainment mediums skew our views on how it is perceived? More after the break.

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @wwltvsports
Curtis Lofton's phone was abuzz with activity Wednesday morning and he wasn't really sure why.
Then he read the explosive story from the Times-Picayune's Larry Holder about how one player believed Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo should be fired after one season, one in which New Orleans set an NFL record for yards given up.
To Lofton, the story was a head-scratcher, both for what it contained and for the fact that it was out there.
The defense, the linebacker asserted, was certainly difficult in that there were many moving parts. But Lofton also pointed to the fact that in the latter half of the season, the defense improved and he believes brighter days are, in fact, ahead.
Lofton was steadfast in his defense of Spagnuolo's system, calling it one of the only ones he knows of that dictates the game to the offense and has an answer for everything an opponent can throw at it.
But what has Lofton perplexed the most – as well as those inside the Saints organization – is the point that Spagnuolo "treated players like crap."
From the media's perspective, he has never been anything but gracious, answering questions without batting an eye, even when they're about why his defense has failed.
There's also this – when the defense was off to its historically terrible start, Spagnuolo's weekly press conferences were moved up from Fridays to Mondays. Why? From those I talked to, it was Spagnuolo's idea to take pressure off of interim coach Aaron Kromer and allow him to answer the questions instead.
That would be one reason a staff member I talked to said both Spagnuolo and his wife Maria are very well-liked inside the Airline Drive facility. He's also well respected throughout NFL circles.
Lofton, meanwhile, acknowledged that he and Spagnuolo had had heated discussions this season. But each time, the Saints linebacker said, he and the defensive coordinator worked out their differences and found a middle ground. Lofton, it should be noted, has taken over for linebacker Jonathan Vilma as the leader of the defense.
No player and coach ever see eye-to-eye all the time, Lofton said, but the key is being able to talk problems out and Spagnuolo's door always was open for that to happen.
The truth is likely somewhere in the middle as it always is.
According to Holder's story, Vilma sidestepped a question asking if the anonymous player's beliefs were wrong, telling the paper, "That's not the question or the point." Vilma was given a perfect opportunity to refute the player's sentiments, but only took umbrage with the anonymous sourcing aspect of the story.
That's not exactly a defense of the defensive coordinator.
What is a defense, however, is what Chris Chamberlain said. The outside linebacker played for Spagnuolo in St. Louis and signed with the Saints this offseason. He was set to be a key member of the defense until blowing out his knee in a preseason game.
When asked Wednesday afternoon about the Times-Picayune story, Chamberlain said he was surprised to see the comments that were made by the anonymous player. He added that he has never seen Spagnuolo treat anybody poorly, saying, "He's always been good about getting his point across without being disrespectful to the player."
Chamberlain spent the season rehabbing and spending time with the linebackers and defense in team meetings, watching as the defense was installed and tweaked.
As for the part about Spagnuolo's scheme being the problem and proper adjustments not being made, Chamberlain said that that wasn't true, that he "made it clear that if there was something that we didn't feel good about, to let him know and he would take it out."
Several other players were contacted by WWLTV.com and, the ones who responded, preferred to stay away from the fray and out of the story.
In listening to Lofton, he seemed genuinely taken aback by the story. Throughout the conversation, Lofton time and again sounded puzzled that anyone believed Spagnuolo wasn't willing to listen to gripes or concerns with the defense.
It was obvious that Lofton wasn't onboard with the anonymous player's thoughts. Indeed, it was apparent in Lofton's tone that he wasn't taking the company line and was speaking for himself.
And on Wednesday, the only thing that had Lofton angrier than the story blasting his defensive coordinator was that having to comment on it interrupted his playing Call of Duty.

Volume Teacher Resources
Find Volume educational ideas and activities
Showing 1 - 20 of 9,933 resources
Sixth graders, by using the blocks as models of volume, examine how volume can be calculated simply by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the rectangular prism.
In this comprehensive worksheet, young geometers solve a number of surface area and volume problems. Problems range from basic formula-based calculations to more challenging geometric figures and word problems.
High schoolers find the volume of pyramids and cones. In this volume of pyramids and cones lesson, learners explore the relationship between the volumes of prisms and pyramids. They investigate the relationship between pyramids and cones.
Students explore the volume and surface area of three dimensional figures. Through the use of video, students discover three dimensional shapes, their uses in real-life applications, and methods used to calculate their volume and surface area. Students participate in hands-on activities to calculate the volume and surface area of different shapes.
Learners explore the concept of volume. In this volume lesson, students try to maximize the volume of a box using their Ti-Nspire. Learners graph the function representing the volume of the box and determine what dimensions yield the maximum volume.
Young scholars determine the density of different substances. In this physical science lesson, students rank them according to their density. They discover the relationship between volume and density.
Here is an online geometry activity in which learners complete 10 multiplechoice questions where they find the volume of 3D cubes using multiplication. They can check their answers at the end of the worksheet.
The volume of various solids is explored in five sections with the last being eight example problems including step-by-step solutions. Using Cavalieri's principle and easy-to-follow direct instructions with colored pictures, the first section defines volume, the second explores the volume of a right rectangular prism and related solids, expanding to a general formula for the volume of any prism. The third explains the formula used to find the volume of square pyramids by slicing up a right rectangular prism into small pyramids. Finally, the volume formula of a sphere is neatly derived.
Fifth graders explore perimeter, volume and area and how they are used in everyday situations. In this geometry lesson students investigate the units of measure and begin to develop meaning for each. Then determine how to use them in everyday life situations.
Tenth graders investigate volume in class and in the real world. They explore volume of cylinders and prisms as it relates to different subjects. Pupils also investigate how important volume is in different career field.
Learners explore perimeter, area and volume. Using geoboards, toothpicks, and marshmallows, students create specific shapes. They are directed to use formulas to find the volume, area, and perimeter of the created shapes. In groups, learners estimate the number of cubes that will fit in containers. Students build a polyhedron and calculate the perimeter of the base and the volume of the polygon.
Pupils explore the concept of dimension and its affect on overall volume. They construct rectangular prisms out of paper, then fill their prisms with popcorn. By transferring the same amount of popcorn to various prisms, they are able to compare the different sizes. This makes the concept of volume not only visual for your class, but also quite tasty!
High schoolers solve five problems including finding the cross sectional area of two bodies, determining the swept out volume of a moving body, finding the average particle volume of a body and determining the collision time for a body.
Students, after reviewing the measuring of the lengths of sides of different shapes along with the calculation of their perimeters and areas, encounter what it means by the 'perimeter' of a polygon. They practice measuring units of volume as well as strategies to find the volumes of various solids.
In this cardiovascular worksheet, students read through notes, fill out a chart, and complete 30 review short answer questions.
Calculate the volume for given shapes by having your learners find the volume of triangular, rectangular, and other polygonal prisms. They will use the correct formula to solve for the volume of each solid. A handout is included for this activity.
Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each rectangular prisms.
Sal goes back to a look at the Adiabatic process in this chemistry video. He sets up a Carnot Cycle that occurs within an adiabatic process; meaning there is no transfer of heat. From that problem, Sal constructs Volume Ratios which is a mathematical way of proving that no heat was transferred.
Students convert units of area and volume within the metric measurement system. They build models of square and cubic centimeters using centimeter grid paper. Students describe the attributes of the unit and what it measures.
Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with finding the volume of a solid. They investigate and describe the characteristics of a favorite food and identify it as metal or non-metal. The lesson includes pictures of different solid shapes that need to be matched with a corresponding food.

When Madeline "Maddie" Dardanes was a varsity cheerleader at Barrington High School, she suffered a torn ligament in her knee during a routine — and tumbled into a growing statistic that is getting more attention from doctors and safety advocates, who want cheerleading classified as a sport.
Now a sophomore at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Dardanes recalls "landing really weird" in what she called "a round-off, flip-flop, full." An MRI revealed that she had a full tear of her anterior cruciate ligament.
That type of injury is just one of many that doctors say participants in the ever-growing and competitive cheerleading world are prone to suffer. They also get fractures, sprains, strains, and breaks in their knees, ankles, elbows and wrists. Less common, but still prevalent, are severe concussions, skull fractures and other head, neck and back injuries that can topple a young person's future.
"Cheerleading ranks up there with hockey and football in terms of catastrophic injuries," said Jeff Mjaanes, a sports medicine specialist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. In fact, he said cheerleading poses more risk than playing football.
Mjaanes recently co-wrote a policy statement in the American Academy of Pediatrics that calls for a nationwide recognition of cheerleading as a sport. The designation would guarantee cheerleaders receive the same medical attention as other athletes, and require annual physical examinations before they're allowed to participate.
It would also ensure access to better facilities with equipment such as safe floor mats and other essentials. And it would also require oversight of coaches and trainers.
Illinois and 28 other states already classify high school cheerleaders as athletes, garnering them that extra level of safety through regulation. Increasingly popular cheerleading gyms, however, have a set of rules they are encouraged — but not required — to follow.
Even though she was considered an athlete when she tore the ligament, since she was in a high school program, Dardanes recognizes how important it is for cheerleading to have the careful oversight that regulation as a sport brings.
"I definitely think (cheerleading) should be a sport," Dardanes said. "It's so hard on your body and on your mind. ... You have to put in the same amount of work as you do other sports. I don't understand why it is still being debated."
Cheerleading has been considered a sport by the Illinois High School Association for eight years, and governed as such. But not all organizations that sponsor cheerleading necessarily fall under such guidelines.
Mjaanes said there are approximately 30,000 "significant injuries" to cheerleaders in the United States reported each year. Though fewer in number, there are at least five "catastrophic injuries" reported each year — such as skull fractures, brain bleeds and cervical spine injuries that can lead to paralyses.
"I have seen some (concussions) that even go on to post-concussion syndrome ... symptoms last for months, chronic headaches, depression, school difficulties, trouble remembering things and concentrating," Mjaanes said.
Mjaanes called the current approach to governing cheerleading "haphazard," and the policy statement he co-wrote recommends that all cheerleading be recognized as an official sport by each state at all levels — including teams fielded by competitive gyms, park districts and schools from elementary through college.
Mjaanes also wants records collected for all cheerleading injuries in a national database, as they are with other sports.
Laura Meehan, head cheerleading coach at Barrington High School, said cheerleading at her school is treated as a sport and follows guidelines set by the National Federation for High Schools. Barrington began doing that before the Illinois High School Association categorized cheerleading as a sport.
Once the state recognized cheerleading as a sport, Meehan said there has been "increased medical treatment and supportive athletic training staff (provided) to give the kids treatment."
That includes more medical staff available to cheerleaders at practices, IHSA sponsored games and competitions, she said.
Guidelines are set and followed to keep the cheerleaders safe and are routinely revised by the NFHS. For example, last spring, the NFHS outlawed doing more than one twist in a stunt, she said.
Meehan said her coaching team regularly goes through safety courses specific to cheerleading "required and recommended" by the NFHS, such as CPR. The coaching staff regularly reviews the rules of cheerleading and goes through a course each year dealing with the signs and treatment of concussions.
"All states need to get on board," Meehan said.

Vitiligo Overview
Vitiligo a skin disease in which there is a progressive loss of the pigment-producing cells (melanocytes), resulting in areas of skin without melanin pigment.
Vitiligo Causes
Patient Comments
There are probably environmental factors that interact with genes that are inherited that lead to a tendency to induce the destruction melanocytes. There are numerous theories as to the origin of vitiligo. A condition indistinguishable from vitiligo can be induced in some individuals after topical exposure to certain phenol-like chemicals.

Tim Prachar still has a hard time comprehending the destructive power of the flash floods that swallowed his Willow River property ten days ago.
Over 7 feet of water flowed into Prachar's basement, literally topping out at the light fixtures.
It destroyed his furnace, water heater, refrigerator and freezer.
Prachar, who doesn't have flood insurance, figures replacing everything will cost over $20,000.
"After a while, it really wears on you," he said. "Hard to keep stiff upper lip sometimes. But support of family, church and neighbors is really encouraging."
For the first time since the disaster struck, flood victims across rural Pine County and the Northland had access to state, local and non-profit recovery assistance in one location.
Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management opened several recovery centers on Friday, including locations in Willow River, Duluth and Barnum.
"When this disaster occurred, it hit us really hard," said Pine County Sheriff Robin Coles.
While Duluth and other northern communities received most of the attention after the aftermath, Pine County was also hit hard, in places like Willow River Sturgeon Lake and Rutledge.
Approximately 130 homes were severely impacted county-wide, and roughly 75 are uninhabitable.
Damage totals here top $1.5 million to public infrastructure, and more than $5 million in personal losses.
And while the major disaster declaration from the federal government is appreciated, the folks here are still hoping that individual aid will soon be available.

ROCKPORT — Greg Wilkinson said he usually plants a single outdoor Christmas tree in December along the rocks just off Marmion Way.
This year, however, Wilkinson decided — with help from friends and local businesses — to plant 26 trees as a holiday memorial and tribute to the schoolchildren and adults who lost their lives in the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook School massacre in Newtown, Conn.
While Newtown is nearly 200 miles away and Wilkinson does not have any direct connection to the town or any victims, he said he wanted a way to memorialize those who died.
The trees are scattered on the rocky shores along Wilkinson's property, held in place with sand and fishing wire.
"I was wondering what I could do, if anything," he said Wednesday. "I just got this idea."
Others have been supportive of the project, with friends and neighbors helping him set up the memorial on Sunday. Sand, buckets and other materials were provided by Rockport's Ace Hardware and fishing line provided by Fisherman's Outfitter, both in Gloucester.
He added residents and people passing by often stop and notice the trees and soon make the connection to the Newtown massacre when they realize there are 26 trees.
Wilkinson, who is the sailing coach for Boston College, and whose wife, Sarah Wilkinson, serves on Rockport's Board of Selectmen, said sailing team alumni in the area also helped with the memorial.
Word traveled fast throughout, reaching residents outside of town.
Margaret Jerome of Newburyport was visiting her friend, Jean Cameron, who lives close by the Marmion Way holiday display.
Jerome said she got an email from a friend telling her about the Christmas tree memorial.
"It really is a thoughtful, respectful gesture," Jerome said.
Wilkinson said he plans to keep the trees up until around New Year's Eve, but weather may not be on his side.
"In the past, I could manage to keep one tree up," he said. "With 26, it might be a different story."

Original Fit JAG Pull-On Bootcut Jeans 32 32
JAG pull-on bootcut jeans I love the jeans, the color and everything but pulling them over my hips, quite a chore. Would recommend buying a size larger than you normally wear. August 29, 2014
GREAT Jeans! Just got these jeans and they fit GREAT! Very slimming, no bulges at the hips or thighs. And the fit is super comfy....the wide waist hides a number of flaws; sits just below the waist but doesn't bind. A perfect fit for my 5'2" frame (although they need to be hemmed). Midnight blue is very dark, which is exactly what I wanted! I'll definitely order another pair in another color! August 19, 2014
Jag Jeans I found they were way too long for my 5'4" frame and had to have them taken up, which entailed spending extra money. Other than that I would buy another pair. August 23, 2014
Very comfortable I bought these jeans despite the fact that I am a petite length and despite the reviews about odor. Yes, there is an odor - chemical in nature. It's a bit disconcerting but I decided to make these jeans work anyway because they are overall very comfortable. I'll shorten the legs by several inches. If you are looking for comfort, these Jag Jeans work. I wish they came in petite fit. August 5, 2014
comfortable, but limited utility On the positive side these jeans are comfortable and they do look attractive if worn with a tunic or sweater that covers the top. However, they have 2 major drawbacks which prevent me from rating them any higher. First, the stretch panel that runs all the way around the top makes it impossible to wear these jeans with anything tucked in or with a sweater or blazer that opens in front. I don't think most people would want to spend this much on jeans that can only be worn with a top that covers the top of the jeans all the way down to the hip area. Second, while the jeans fit well on the first wearing, they do tend to stretch out as the day goes on or if you wear them a second day without washing to shrink them, and then they will slide down and require pulling up. If you are between sizes definitely order the smaller size to minimize the slippage issue. February 18, 2014
Great jeans Great jeans, wear well, fit nicely. This is my third pair and I think they are cut a bit lower in the waist than the first two pair were. May 21, 2014
WOW!!!!! I am always in search of a comfortable, stylish, and sexy pair of jeans, these days it is almost impossible to find a cute and comfortable pair, that is unless your 16. Anyways I must say I was skeptical about these jeans but I am always willing to give something new a try and BOY AM I GLAD I DID!! I am 51 yrs young and these jeans are not only stylish, but they have a WOW factor in the fit. What makes them even more wonderful is there is no zipper and they are not the low rise at the "no-no" line (showing what I don't want to show)! These jeans make me feel sexy, confident, and beautiful and I have not felt that way about a pair of jeans in a really long time! I would HIGHLY recommend these jeans to any woman who has felt the same frustration I have over the years when it comes to buying jeans. These are an A plus in my book! October 23, 2013
Felt great There are 2 things you should know. They are very long and I shortened them about 2 inches which was not a problem for me. The other is: the rise is at least 2 inches lower than navel which surprised me. It doesn't feel too bad, the back is higher. They have a smooth, flat front that looks great and flattens the tummy with no buttons or zipper! They are true to size and have enough thigh room. Very happy I finally ordered them.
