People who knew Pamela Mebane say her influence will far outlast her life.
Mebane, an assistant principal at Western Alamance High School, died Saturday at the age of 42. Some students who knew her as an administrator and teacher there talk about how she inspired them to pursue careers ranging from acting to the legal profession.
Others say she was there for students in equally important ways, giving them support they may not have gotten elsewhere during the difficult teenage years.
Aaron Cardwell, a 2008 Western graduate, earned a degree in social work this year from Appalachian State University. Mebane taught Cardwell both English and drama at Western. She pushed Cardwell to pursue an acting career when Cardwell didn't think it was a realistic choice.
"She told me that I had incredible talent when I didn't really believe that it was a viable career option," Cardwell said.
Mebane never gave up, even after Cardwell committed to the social work major in college.
"She would kind of shake her head and say, 'You really need to do acting,'" Cardwell said.
This summer, Mebane finally got her way. Cardwell decided to pursue her passion. Mebane wrote a letter of recommendation for her to become a student at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York, where she is now studying.
Cardwell described herself as offbeat during high school and said Mebane "saw that as something special and not something weird." That was typical, Cardwell said, of Mebane's eagerness to reach out to everyone.
"I don't know anyone who is more kind or more determined to see students succeed … She kind of became a second mother to everyone."
Another Western graduate, Taylor Richard, dropped out and is now studying at Alamance Community College with the hope of going on to a four-year university and then law school.
"If there was one reason any of the graduating students would return to Western," Richard said, "It would be to show her how far we came with her help and to make her proud."
Before coming to Western, Mebane taught at Graham High School. Elsewhere in Alamance County, she was an assistant principal at E.M. Yoder Elementary School. She taught elementary and high school in California, where she grew up in the Los Angeles area.
The cause of death was not immediately known.
Service arrangements for Mebane have not been announced. They are being handled by McClure Funeral Home in Graham.
PEOPLE WHO KNEW MEBANEsay she was consistently happy and often lifted their moods.
"She always had a smile on her face and always took the time out of her day to come over to say hello," said Josh Hughes, a 2011 Western graduate. "You always got the sense in talking with her that she was being genuine."
Natalie Allison, another Western graduate, said Mebane knew how to make students feel special. When few turned out for a "senior prom" the school's theater department organized for older people in 2008, Mebane took to the stage to entertain students with a Beyonce song.
Before Mebane became an assistant principal at Western, Connie Rea taught with her in the school's theater department.
Rea said Mebane had strong professional credentials — earning a master's degree in business administration in addition to her master's degree in education — but those were surpassed by her exceptional personal skills.
"That was her gift," Rea said. "These kids would line up to talk to her about anything and everything you could imagine that was going on in their lives.
Mebane, she said, would work through lunch to focus on solving problems to help students.
Rea said Mebane hoped to become a single parent by adopting a child. While that didn't happen, her relationships with students — as well as teachers and other friends — were filled with the kind of love and energy good parents put into their children's lives.
"Pam knew no enemy; she never knew when to say no," Rea said. "She just didn't have a bad bone in her body."

The Semantic Web is a "web of data" that enables machines to understand the semantics, or meaning, of information on the World Wide Web. It extends the network of hyperlinked human-readable web pages by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other, enabling automated agents to access the Web more intelligently and perform tasks on behalf of users. The term was coined by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium, which oversees the development of proposed Semantic Web standards. He defines the Semantic Web as "a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Semantic Web)

Diarrhea Prevention
- Tags: diarrhea, poverty questions, questions, water
Feb 25, 2009at 4:53 am
TRUE since the germies that cause diarrhea can be spread through other sources, rather than just water.
Feb 25, 2009at 4:58 am
I say false. If you give people bad water it will just make them sick.
Feb 25, 2009at 5:31 am
True- simple sanitation such as washing hands with soap and water can reduce these problems…therefore adequate water supply is imperative
Feb 25, 2009at 6:21 am
definitely true.
Feb 25, 2009at 7:07 am
Sounds a little "ambiguous" but I would be delighted to know what the "correct" answer is!
Feb 25, 2009at 9:48 am
Washing with soap and bad water kills germs? What about the ones it leaves, in rinsing?
Drinking bad water makes people sick; drinking more makes them sicker.
I'm in the minority, but I believe false. Adequate quantities of clean water are essential, however.
Feb 25, 2009at 10:37 am
I think it is false
Feb 25, 2009at 12:37 pm
True….the organisms that cause diarrhea can be spread through other water sources.
Feb 25, 2009at 1:34 pm
Although i work for a non-profit dedicated to treating existing contaminated water sources, i'd have to say TRUE. just simply having a water source (regardless of its quality) is the first step. Once you have the source there are simple things to do in order to improve the quality (chlorine drops, boiling) and it also improves the overall hygiene situation which leads to improved health.
Feb 25, 2009at 4:26 pm
Has no one read the Rime of the Ancient Mariner?
Feb 25, 2009at 5:28 pm
I think it's False
Feb 25, 2009at 7:01 pm
The quality is important, but having enough water is the most important.
Feb 25, 2009at 8:15 pm
I think it's false.
Feb 26, 2009at 7:16 am
Would this have an effect on decisions to donate water purification equipment? Haha…
Quick Web Team.. tell us the answer.. the suspense is killing…
Feb 26, 2009at 4:37 pm
True, according to the Poverty Quiz
Feb 26, 2009at 11:47 pm
I would say false. If water is contaminated, who knows what people can catch that is worse than diarrhea.
Mar 9, 2009at 10:08 am
The answer is:
True. The organisms that cause diarrhea can be spread through many routes besides drinking water; increased quantities of water can improve household and personal hygiene, which prevents the spread of disease.
Each year about 1.7 million deaths related to dehydration caused by diarrhea occur in children under age 5.

The Basics Of Pressure Regulators
- Created on Monday, 21 April 2014
- Beswick
Please Login at the top
of the page to download.
Pressure regulators are found in many common home and industrial applications. For example, pressure regulators are used in gas grills to regulate propane pressure, in home furnaces to regulate natural gas, in medical/dental equipment regulate oxygen and anesthesia gases, in pneumatic automation systems to regulate compressed air, in engines to regulate fuel pressure, and in fuel cells to regulate hydrogen. Although the applications vary considerably, the pressure regulators provide the same function. Pressure regulators reduce a supply pressure to a lower outlet pressure and they maintain this outlet pressure regardless of inlet pressure fluctuations. This reduction in pressure is the key characteristic of pressure regulators; outlet pressure is always at a pressure below the inlet pressure.

7 Famous Movie Flaws That Were Explained in Deleted Scenes
#6. Independence Day
Are you kind of a nerd? Have you seen Independence Day? What's the problem we're about to point out here? Exactly. Fully half of you reading this have just screamed to the heavens in futile rage about the probability of the famous Apple OS/advanced alien mothership compatibility issue. Even here at Cracked, we've drawn attention to this once or twice in one of our articles (like this one, this one, this one, this one and, well, this one.)
Nerds are an unforgiving lot.
Essentially, Jeff Goldblum is reminded that the word "virus" exists, which is all the motivation and know-how he needs to hack a completely alien spacecraft with a mid-90s PowerBook. We can't even get our damn Xboxes to play pirated copies of Step Up 2 the Streets from our computer, and they were made specifically to interact with one another, yet the dude from Jurassic Park somehow manages to encode a goddamn .GIF of a laughing skull in there when he takes out the mothership with the cutting edge power of MacOS 7.6.
But in the seven minutes of cut scenes included in the extended release Independence Day DVD, Goldblum is actually shown tinkering with his PowerBook inside the recovered craft from the Roswell crash site, mumbling something about how the spaceship was running off the same programming language he was able to decipher before (when he first uncovered their invasion plans and all that).
He may also have mentioned tachyons.
So, he presumably worked from there and was able to code some disruptive program and translate it into their language or whatever. It's still flimsy as hell, but it at least proves the filmmakers were aware of and willing to address the problem, thus defusing a decade and a half of pent-up nerd-rage.

The dogs rescued from a Bronx dog fighter's basement last year are finally getting justice. Raul Sanchez, who pleaded guilty to dog fighting a few weeks ago, is now heading to prison.
Last week a judge sentenced Sanchez to one to three years for animal fighting, one year for animal cruelty and one year for criminal possession of a weapon. (Sanchez will serve these sentences concurrently.)
He's also been slapped with a ban on keeping animals for the duration of his parole. Sanchez waived his right to appeal.
We hope Sanchez's sentence serves as a reminder to dog fighters that their crimes against innocent animals carry serious consequences.
I think he should get 3 years or whatever for each dog that was taken from him and more if dead bodies were found.
If that sick F$#k get's off with innocent dogs fighting, why does'nt he step it up and fight himself, don't tell me that getting his throat ripped out wouldn't be a rush for him!!
A lifetime ban from owning any animals would be TOO MUCH to ask? I really don't understand that one
Nice to see that all Governments are starting to take this seriously and hit the perpetrators hard. Dog fighting is the most horrible thing in the world. These guys usually use pit bulls, which gives the breed a bad name, they are the sweetest most loving dogs you could find. Keep up the good work of getting these guys behind bars!!!!
I don't believe his punishment was enough. Dog fighters should be given life in prison, period. If were up to me they'd be given the death penalty, but I understand those who do not support the death penality, so I'll argue for life in prison. Yes, dog fighting is that serious. To say a 2 to five sentence in prison is justice for such a crime is a gross understatement. Dogs are like us, they get one chance at life. Just one. The dogs are tortured brutally by these scum bags. It's only fair that the punishment should fit the crime. 5 years is not enough.
I know many would like to see this man serve the entire three years, as would I. However, lets not forget that it wasn't too long ago that the punishment was merely having animals taken away, not being allowed to have anymore and a hefty fine. Thank the powers that be that disturbed individuals like this man actually DO get jail time now.
Thank you for the update. I'm glad he got at least a few years. He won't do it again imo. : ).
Good start, but I think he deserves more punishment. I hope that these terms includes turning in the other known dog fighters!
It's about time the courts are taking animal cruelty seriously. People who have no respect for an animals life have none for a human life. Thanks to whoever that judge was.
I agree with everyone who had there mind set straight. I don't think this man should even have ANY animals after jail and probation. You go to jail... Nothing will change! It should have been a little log like 10-20 years give or take. Just because animals may be a little lower then humans DOESN'T mean they shouldn't get the right amount of justice! But I am glad he got caught. If you see animal abuse or human abuse take stand and stop it. You will change lives

Curtiss D-12
The D-12 was a 12-cylinder, water-cooled, V-type engine that was introduced in 1921. It became a successful and popular engine of the 1920's in military aircraft and Curtiss racing airplanes because of its relatively low frontal area. Arthur Nutt designed the D-12 as an improvement to the earlier Curtiss K-12. The engine has cast cylinder blocks for each bank of 6 cylinders and 4 valves per cylinder. The power output was about 400 hp at 2,000 rpm.
When it powered the Fairey Fox in 1925, the fastest airplane in England, it inspired Rolls-Royce to develop its famous Merlin engine. It was used in mail planes until the Pratt & Whitney 9-cylinder, air-cooled Wasp engine came along.
This example was manufactured in 1921. The D-12 was a great step forward in liquid-cooled engines and influenced inline military and racing engines through the start of World War II.
This engine is located in the connector between the Military and Civilian hangars.

© 2013 Specialized Bicycle Components. All rights reserved.
Friday, September 13, 2013
THE ORIGINAL WONDER MATERIAL The timeline of bicycle construction materials is a short read. It started with steel, had a brief tango with titanium and aluminium, before being completely dominated by carbon. Within that arc, aluminium got a bad rap at some point. It was strong, light, and infinitely more malleable than steel. Yet the downfall was that because of its stiffness, ride quality suffered. The inherent suppleness of steel that was able to absorb road chatter was lost with aluminium. Once carbon was introduced, aluminium took a near permanent back seat. Until now.
At Specialized, we think the possibilities of aluminium are only just being discovered. We're out to make an aluminium bike that's not just light and stiff but comfortable to ride, too. It's time to redefine what aluminium is capable of.Watch Video
THE SMARTEST MINDS IN ALLOY In order to completely transform the way we approach aluminium bikes, we put together a team of some of the best minds in alloy bicycle design and engineering. Chuck Teixeira and Chris D'Aluisio are joined by Luc Callahan, Andrew Frasca and Kyle Chubbuck making up the brain trust that is pushing Specialized aluminium into the future.
Together, we have the best minds in bicycle engineering and design, not just raising the bar of what aluminium is capable of, they're exploding it. Rethinking what's possible with aluminium to the point of reinventing it, they created the 2014 S-Works Allez, a frame that's 145 grams lighter and twice as vertically compliant than a current leading frame.
"NOT SINCE CHUCK INTRODUCED TAPERWALL ALUMINIUM TUBE SETS TO THE CYCLING INDUSTRY HAS ALLOY EXPERIENCED SUCH A MARKED STEP FORWARD. D'ALUISIO SMARTWELD IS A TRULY REVOLUTIONARY PROCESS THAT IS ALLOWING US TO UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE MODERN ALUMINIUM PERFORMACE BICYCLE." -Chris D'Aluisio
CHRIS D'ALUISIO Chris is responsible for some of the most innovative products to roll off the Specialized floor in the past decade. The Venge, Shiv, CG-R seatpost, and Tarmac are just a few of the palmarès in his engineering quiver. It follows that when we decided to take aluminium to the next level, Chris was tasked with leading the charge. Attaching your name to a piece of technology isn't something to be taken lightly, but then, D'Aluisio Smartweld isn't your average piece of technology. Chris realised that the key to redefining the way aluminium performs was to redefine the way the welds were executed. Culling experience from his motorsport background, the D'Aluisio Smartweld technology was born and with it, a revolution in the way aluminium will be thought of.
CHUCK TEIXEIRA Spending a lifetime in the cycling industry can teach you a thing or two about progress. It can also create complacency resulting in products that don't look or perform all that differently from year to year. What makes Chuck's contributions to cycling so impressive is the consistency of his innovation and progression. Having a history firmly rooted in all things cycling, Chuck was able to marry that passion with his love of engineering, and the cycling world has been thankful for it ever since. Chuck's input into D'Aluisio Smartweld is unique in that he was at the forefront of the aluminium revolution when it first started. The tube-sets he was responsible for engineering at Easton set the standard for an industry; it's only fitting that, yet again, Chuck is pushing the limits and redefining what's possible with aluminium. Oh and he's pretty damn quick on a bike too.
D'ALUISIO SMARTWELD US PATENT 8,042,822 Introducing D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology - a patented and revolutionary new approach to aluminium bike design and hand built construction. In order to re-imagine what aluminium is capable of, Chris D'Aluisio re-imagined how aluminium bikes were being made. Traditionally, aluminium tubes were cut and welded together at the joints using welding methods that relied heavily on the skill of the craftsman. What D'Alusio Smartweld Technology does is take those joints and connection points and hands them back to the engineers. The headtube, toptube, and downtube have been hydroformed with a curved, dome-like edge that, when butted together, creates a seamless valley that is filled with weld material. What does all this mean? A connection point that is stiffer, more durable, and more consistent than anything else on the market. It's a performance leap in aluminium that, until this point, has never been seen before, and it's based on a concept that's been hiding in plain sight. Cylinders have long been strengthened by rolling the edges – just look at oil drums and aluminium cans, for example.
D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology doesn't just stop at increased stiffness. Because the connection points have been moved away from the area of greatest stress, tube shapes and makeups can now be drastically changed. The weld contact points are so strong that less material is needed in other areas allowing for levels of compliance to be engineered into the frame that have never been possible with aluminium. Thinner tube walls at key locations allow aluminium to react in a way it hasn't before, providing a ride quality that is unmatched in its class. You haven't ridden aluminium until you've ridden Specialized D'Aluisio Smartweld aluminium.
THE NEW FACE OF HANDMADE The new Specialized S-Works Allez, S-Works Allez Frameset and Allez Race are the culmination of all these innovations in one beautiful package. Simply put, they're the lightest and most compliant aluminium bikes we've ever made. It's now possible to find carbon-like performance at the price of aluminium. All the stiffness and responsiveness you'd expect, with the type of ride quality you've never experienced with aluminium. Combined with the carbon fork - the same fork used in our Tarmac - the 2014 Allez frames are the perfect performance driven machines that won't leave you grimacing at the cash register. The performance gains in testing are like nothing we've ever seen before from aluminium. Confident descending, supple ride feel, and the kind of snappiness that makes you want to sprint out of the saddle between every traffic light - the Specialized Allez with D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology is the definition of uncompromising design.
THE ALLOY ANSWER It's time for aluminium to make a return. No longer is it a material mired by compromise. By redefining the way aluminium is constructed, we've been able to redefine its characteristics. Performance can now be achieved at a price that won't break the bank and a ride quality that won't break your body. With Specialized D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology aluminium's future is brighter than ever.

Comments about Planet Bike Air Ship Inflator CO2:
Bought this about a month ago, and had my first chance to try it out today. The CO2 cartridge loads into the bottom section, which threads onto the central red section in the picture. I used the cartridge it came with, and as soon as it was loaded, the entire bottom section was blasted off. The threads did not fail; the red plastic piece itself cracked all the way around.

Comments about Planet Bike Air Ship Inflator CO2:
Good pump for the price. Seems like a solid design. Very bulky for a CO2 pump. No problem if putting into a pack. But be wary if you want to carry it in a saddle bag as I intended as it might not fit unless its oversized. Wish it was more compact.
Comments about Planet Bike Air Ship Inflator CO2:
I have not had to use it yet, but it fits into my pack great and will work on both of my bikes.

We never get used to it. No matter how many cases of cruelty our team investigates, the brutality of it still hits us hard in the heart. This case was no exception. In mid-July our Humane Law Enforcement department received a call from an eyewitness who saw a father and son beating their cat to death with a stick. We jumped into action.
Quickly finding the deceased cat in a garbage bag on the side of the road, our Agents subsequently obtained a search warrant for the home. A search uncovered a broken stick encrusted with cat fibers and blood in the attic. Jean Rog Murat, 60, and his son, Robenson Murat, 29, were arrested and taken into custody.
The Kings County District Attorney indicted the duo on charges of aggravated cruelty to animals; overdriving, torturing and injuring animals; and failure to provide proper sustenance for animals. If convicted, the defendants will face a maximum of two years of incarceration.
"This was a heinous act on an innocent animal and a clear case of violent abuse," says Stacy Wolf, Vice President and Chief Counsel of the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement department. "We praise the district attorney for his commitment to hold these perpetrators accountable for their cruel and callous acts."
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state. With your help, we fight back. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
What should happen to them is if I was a judge I WOULD BEAT THEM,OMG I have a cat who is 18 years old she is my life We love all animals, The laws are not tuff enough for animal abuse....
The animal cruelty and abuse punishments really need to be stricter, and more comparable to child abuse laws. Both animals and children are defenseless, and those who hurt two- or four-legged helpless creatures have to be severely punished. I am so sick of hearing of these lenient sentences and fines imposed on those who hurt animals.
I agree with those who say stricter laws for people who do this..if the laws were more severe it just MIGHT stop them or maybe slow them down...
Whay a couple of assholes.. I wish we could all band together and beat them sick bastards with sticks!!!
There is something sick and twisted in peoples mind to be able to act so inhumane, so barbaric. I am glad there are laws but they certainly are not strict enough. Animal rights don't get as much attention as they should.
Stricter laws YES! I congratulate the ASPCA for quick action. Just making their brutality known to the community is good too, although what they did deserves a lot more than 2 lousy years.
I think they deserve far more than just 2 years of incarseration. If someone did the same to a child, they would get a longer sentence as they should, but it should not matter because our pets are our babies too. A cat is like a child in the same sense that it relies on you for care, love, attention, and all of the things it needs. For someone to beat it to death for no reason at all is just sick. I think they should serve a longer sentence, and I think the laws on animal cruelty need to be a bit stricter.
I completely agree. Although they're covered in fur, cats and other animals are like our children! What did they gain? I vote a life sentence or death by firing squad. This sickens me.
This just sickens me so much. Helpless animals slaughtered by human beings. Let them both rot in jail, and maybe a good beating before being locked away. Really, really sad and sick!!

Women's Lacrosse Tabbed #2 in Preseason Coaches Poll
January 21, 2010
HIGH POINT, N.C. - this spring. The Lady Saints are ranked No. 9 in the 2010 Lacrosse Magazine preseason poll after finishing the 2009 season with a 17-3 overall (11-1 conference) record. The Lady Saints had an outstanding performance last spring as they claimed the Conference Carolinas regular season and tournament titles, and earned the program's fourth bid to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. Pfeiffer University and Belmont Abbey round out the top three.
The Saints return 18 players from last season including 2009 Conference Freshman of the Year Brigid Milchling, and fellow all-conference honorees Renee Albro, Katie Ilott, and Erin Growney. Limestone will also have a lot of depth with 16 newcomers on the roster.
The Pfeiffer University women's lacrosse team has been picked to finish second in this year's preseason coaches' poll. The Lady Falcons finished 2009 with a 12-7 overall record, finishing 9-3 in league play. Pfeiffer finished the season winning five-straight before falling to Belmont Abbey in the Conference semifinals.
Pfeiffer returns in 2010 with three seniors to lead the way including last year's all-conference selections Heidi Karaszkiewicz and Jessica Turner. Karaszkiewicz put home 45 goals last season to go along with her nine assists to pace the Lady Falcons. Turner, on defense, helped hold opponents to just 10 goals per match. Looking to step up and lead the offense for head coach Dawn Easley will also be all-conference selections junior Amanda Smith and sophomore Caitlin Ryan. "I am very excited to see what this year brings for our team" stated Easley. "The fall showed a lot of promise, especially from our underclassmen and newcomers."
Belmont Abbey College has been picked to finish in the top three in the pre-season coaches' poll. The Abbey women's lacrosse team returns its top two scorers from last season's team that established a school record with 14 wins, including the program's first win over Limestone. First year head coach Liz Ramsey will have her top two scorers from last season return for one final year in an Abbey uniform. Senior Tara Chmil led the Abbey with 34 goals and 27 assists, and Briana Dignan was second with 23 goals and 31 assists. Chmil was a first-team all-conference selection last year, as were returners Laurie Jordan and Amanda Jones.
Rounding out the women's lacrosse preseason poll 4-8 was: Queens, St. Andrews, Lees-McRae, Converse, and Erskine respectively.

|Introduction | Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 lens performance | Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 versus competition | Conclusion
The Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens is the first softfocus lens to be tested at DxOMark. Because it is not possible for DxOMark to compare this unique feature, we contrasted the EF 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens against lenses with similar focal-lengths including the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM and the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM.
Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus Lens Advantages:
• Vignetting is most controlled in the 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens, at least compared to its Canon relatives.
• With a quick twist of the lens, photographers can utilize the lens' softfocus feature, which is not available on the 135mm f/2L or 100mm f/2.8 Macro.
• The 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens is most affordable of the three lenses. It can be found on photography retail websites for about $500.00 (USD).
Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Advantages:
• The EF 135mm f/2L USM has the highest sharpness of the group, measuring 14P-Mpix
• It best limits distortion, standing out in the group with a distortion rating of 0.1%.
• The lens has the widest aperture at f/2 and a transmission rating of 2.3 T-stop.
• Tied with the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM for best limiting chromatic aberration.
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Advantages:
• The lens has good sharpness at 15P-Mpix
• Distortion is well controlled at 0.2%, just behind the EF 135mm f/2L USM
• Performs well at correcting chromatic aberration. Tied with the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM – both registered chromatic aberration scores of 4 µm.
• Its macrophotography capabilities are great for photographers who love to snap detail pictures.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Meadowdale jumps on MP, wins 6-1
Mavericks score five runs in first inning en route to first-round upset of North No. 1 seed
The Mavericks started the year 7-2 before losing seven straight games to put the postseason in question. But Meadowdale split its last four games to qualify for the 3A District 1 Tournament and the Mavericks, the South's No. 4 seed, continued their mastery of opening round games with a 6-1 upset victory over North top-seed Marysville Pilchuck on Saturday.
"The district tournament is really important to us," said Meadowdale head coach Bill Hummel. "We've won the last six or seven games in the opening round. It's so important to get off to a good start. It's really difficult to get to state if you have to battle through the losers bracket."
The Mavericks got off to an ideal start, scoring five runs in the first inning off Tomahawks starting pitcher Alex Gray. Brian Marty put the Mavs on the board with an RBI double. Garrett Walsh and Dakota Barlament followed with run-scoring singles to increase the Mavs' lead to 3-0. With runners on first and third and two outs, Mavs third baseman Phil Thomas fell behind 0-2, but ripped a two-run double to right-center field to cap the inning and give Meadowdale starter Elliott Reece a comfortable lead before he had to throw a single pitch.
"Being able to put up a five-spot allows a pitcher to relax," said Hummel. "(Reece) is our No. 1 guy, but he's only a sophomore and was coming off a tough start earlier in the week, it just allowed him to relax and gain confidence."
Reece made the lead hold up, blanking Marysville Pilchuck through the first five innings. The Tommies' Jake Luton broke up the shutout with an RBI single in the sixth, but that was all Reece would surrender in a complete-game, five-strikeout performance.
Meadowdale advanced to play Glacier Peak in a winner-to-state game at Meridian Park Fields, while the Tomahawks will host Oak Harbor in a loser-out contest. Both games are scheduled for 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
At Marysville Pilchuck H.S.

Why Get Tested?
To determine if a sore throat is "strep throat" that is caused by group A streptococcus (GAS)
When to Get Tested?
When you have a sore throat that your doctor thinks may be due to a bacterial infection
Sample Required?
A swab rubbed against the back of your throat and tonsils
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus or group A streptococcus (GAS), causes "strep throat," the most common bacterial cause of inflammation and soreness of the back of the throat (pharyngitis). Strep throat tests identify the presence of this bacterium as the cause of a sore throat.
While most sore throats are caused by a virus and will resolve without treatment within a few days, 5-15% of adults and 20-30% of children with sore throats have strep throat. It is important that these bacterial strep infections be promptly identified and treated with antibiotics. Strep throat is contagious and can spread to close contacts. If the infection is not treated, secondary complications may develop, especially in children. These complications may include rheumatic fever, which can damage the heart, and glomerulonephritis, which affects the kidneys. Because streptococcal infections are routinely diagnosed and treated, these complications have become much rarer in the United States, but they do still occur.
Symptoms of strep throat vary and can be similar to those caused by other infections. They may include:
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Headache
- Reddened (inflamed) throat with or without white or yellow spots
- A swollen, tender neck
- Weakness
- Loss of appetite
A rapid strep test and/or a throat culture is used to diagnose group A streptococci as the cause of these symptoms and allows the doctor to prescribe the proper antibiotics for treatment.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A doctor, nurse, or other health care professional uses a tongue depressor to hold down a person's tongue and then inserts a special swab into the mouth and rubs it against the back of the throat and tonsils. The swab may be used to do a rapid strep test in a doctor's office or clinic, or it may be sent to a laboratory. A second swab may be collected along with the first one. This extra sample is used to perform a throat culture as a follow-up test, when necessary.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed. The test should be performed before antibiotics are prescribed.

When Fitz Paccione '08 was deciding where to go to college, he had a few typical requirements: strong academic programs, the opportunity to continue playing tennis as he had in high school, a chance to travel far away from his home near San Diego.
But he had more pressing considerations as well — questions that needed informed answers. Would he be able to receive accommodations to help him succeed despite his learning disabilities? Should he continue taking the medications that controlled his symptoms but made him feel depressed? When he arrived on campus, how much should he reveal to his new roommates or classmates about his situation?
Across the country, such questions are cropping up more frequently as the number of students seeking counseling or disability services on college campuses has skyrocketed in recent years.
A 2006 national survey of directors of college counseling centers showed that 92 percent have seen an increase recently in the number of students with severe psychological problems; the same percentage also reported an increase in students coming to campus already on psychiatric medication. There's even a national grassroots organization, Active Minds on Campus, working to increase awareness of mental health issues among college students. (Willamette does not have a chapter.)
At Willamette the number of students seeking disability or learning services more than quadrupled in a five-year period, from 104 in 2000–01 to 428 in 2005–06. During those five years, Counseling Services' client numbers increased from 248 to 373.
Autism, bipolar disorder and severe learning disabilities are among the problems counseling and disability service directors are seeing today that barely existed on campuses a decade ago. Willamette didn't have any students with autism until nearly four years ago. This year about half a dozen are enrolled.
Part of what has led to the increase in college students seeking services, experts say, is increased diagnosis of mental illnesses and disabilities combined with better accommodation of these issues in K–12 schools. A cultural shift in the acceptance of counseling has also meant more students are willing to ask for help.
"If you look at special education and ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] regulations in this country, it was in the 1980s that there was an explosion of services being provided," says Deb Loers, former counseling director at Willamette. "Those students are now in college and are accustomed to having services."
" Because of medications and treatments," adds Joanne Hill, director of the University's Disability and Learning Services, "we have students in college now who we may never have had before."
When Loers started working at Willamette in 1987, the University did not have a person dedicated to serving students with disabilities. Hill came on board in 2000. Besides helping students who have legally defined disabilities, she provides assistance to those who may be struggling to achieve academic success. Time management, study skills and sleep problems are the three biggest concerns that prompt students to ask for help.
"A lot of students come in, and they have never learned how to study," Hill says. "They may be very intelligent and never had to study before. It's also pretty common for college students to suffer from sleep deprivation. They study too late, or they talk with their friends until the wee hours."
Even so, two of the most common issues Hill encounters among students are mental health problems and attention deficit disorder (ADD). It's the former that has her working so closely with Counseling Services. A student might come to see Hill because of trouble sleeping, but further investigation reveals the insomnia is actually a symptom of depression or a deeper problem. Such a situation is quite common. A 2006 survey of 531 Willamette students showed that 21 percent reported experiencing depression in the past year. Hill refers these students to an on-campus counselor or to a local consulting psychiatrist.
Hill is the only one at Willamette working with students needing disability or learning services, and she has contact at least twice with more than 500 students in a year. Counseling Services has two full-time and four part-time counselors who dealt with around 1,700 office visits in 2005–06. Keeping up with the caseload has been challenging.
But Willamette students are better off than their peers at some small schools, where services range from few to none. "Small schools don't have as many resources, so they struggle with how to cope with this trend," Loers says.
Paccione was not diagnosed with a learning disability until his freshman year in high school. He was easily distracted in class, struggled to finish his assignments and took much longer to complete readings than his classmates. He discovered he had attention deficit disorder — "Everyone can be ADD at times," he says — as well as dyslexia and problems with auditory processing. "I need to talk things out, discuss them. It's distracting and difficult for me to do long readings, but if I get a little extra time, I can do as well as the highest achievers in the class."
Paccione is not shy about discussing his situation with anyone who asks, but all students starting college with a mental illness or disability must make tough decisions about disclosing their struggle to those around them.
And then there's another, possibly harder decision: whether to take medications. Paccione faced a difficult choice in whether to continue the medications that had helped him control his learning disabilities. He chose to stop taking them because of many negative side effects.
"It's very common for students taking medications to dislike the side effects," Hill says. "They often go off the medications once they're used to the college environment, but then need them again when they go to graduate school. Their need for the medication is usually attached to stress."
During his early college years, Paccione's parents called Hill frequently to make sure their son was doing well. He admits that he "broke a lot of rules" during his freshman year. But today, as a senior, Paccione has found a successful balance between several activities — tennis, fraternity involvement, an internship last year at the Capitol — and academic pursuits.
Part of what got him to this point was the availability of accommodations for his learning disabilities. When students have legally defined disabilities, they may apply for reasonable accommodations in the classroom — from extra time to take tests in a non-distracting environment to preferential seating in class or the help of note-takers.
If Paccione has a test at 10 a.m., he goes to his professor's office at 8 a.m. to begin. When others finish the exam, he's usually still working on it. "I'm in trouble if the professor asks us to read something in class, then discuss what we read," he says. "It takes about 35 minutes for me to read and understand something that takes everyone else 10 minutes."
Hill worked closely with Paccione's parents to track his progress, and she often meets with parents before their students arrive to describe the services Willamette offers. She also touches base with them throughout the school year if they are concerned about their student. "Some of them might call to see if their child is keeping up with his work, or they might have had a phone conversation with their child and her voice just didn't sound right."
But Hill has these conversations only if the student has signed a form giving her permission to do so. The issue of how much information counseling centers can disclose about a student's illness or disability has become a hotly debated area of the law.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 mandated that parental rights to educational records would transfer to the student at age 18 or upon entering college. Later amendments made exceptions for drug and alcohol violations and in health and safety emergencies.
Many colleges have taken this to mean that even if a student is suffering from severe psychological problems — such as contemplating suicide, the second leading cause of death among college students — a university is not required to notify the student's parents. In recent years, some parents have filed lawsuits against colleges, saying they should have been told their child was in danger or that the school did not do enough to prevent a suicide. Four lawsuits were filed against counseling centers in 2006; three involved student suicides.
And in the most visible recent incident surrounding student mental illness, the Virginia Tech community was horrified when a student who had been declared mentally ill and urged to seek counseling later went on to kill 32 people before killing himself. The incident reignited the debate over how campuses should respond to students who might harm themselves or others.
"Since the Virginia Tech incident, every school has been reevaluating its policies," Hill says. "It certainly has changed the urgency for campuses that had nothing in place."
Hill reviews case law yearly to make sure Willamette's policies are up to date. She also works with other offices on campus to educate students on how to recognize the early signs of possible problems. Residential assistants receive training on how to respond to crises that might happen in residence halls, and all new students attend workshops during orientation to learn about issues such as sexual abuse or alcohol use.
"A lot of our referrals come from other students," Hill says. "The students on this campus are very good about coming in and saying, 'I'm worried about my friend. She hasn't left the room for four days,' or 'She hasn't gone to class in two weeks.' We do all we can to raise awareness."
The system has worked well for Paccione. The politics major has kept a decent GPA and is considering law school after graduation. "I've had a couple of things slow me down," he says, "but I think I've done just as well as other students."

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. For your gluten-free munching pleasure.
I suppose you could argue that one oatmeal cookie recipe is enough. I mean, how many oatmeal cookie recipes does a person need? To this I answer, at least two. Why? Well, first you have one with raisins. Raisins give oatmeal cookies that old school chewy sneaky nutrition boost. They're old fashioned and comfy cozy. Kinda like spending one of those Saturday afternoons at your Aunt Martha's house, chillin'. Watching Mr. Rogers and laying on the floor with a pile of coloring books. Coloring outside the lines with a beat up box of Crayolas.
Wishing the silver crayon was more than a lonely nub.
Wishing the silver crayon was more than a lonely nub.
And right at that nub lamenting moment she'd bring you a plate of cookies.
Perhaps that's why I'm not a fan of raisins in oatmeal cookies. I don't nurture comforting memories of their shrunken grape taste, though I appreciate their fine qualities- in an abstract, theoretical sense.
No, I'm more of a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie kind of girl. Especially when the cookies are warm and the chips are melty. Chocolate makes everything right with the world. So here's oatmeal cookie recipe number two. Bake some up this week.

Karina's Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
By Karina Allrich April 2010.
I used my favorite flours in this new oatmeal cookie recipe- a sorghum, millet and tapioca starch combo. I prefer this blend over rice flours. It's a taste and texture issue. Make sure the oats you choose are certified gluten-free. Check the label. We use Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Rolled Oats.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with an Exopat or Silpat. If you don't use a baking mat, parchment paper will help. (Gluten-free cookies tend to scorch easily.)
Whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl-
1 cup sorghum flour
1/4 cup GF millet flour (or brown rice flour)
1/2 cup tapioca starch/flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
In a separate bowl, beat to cream-
3/4 cup Spectrum Organic Shortening, Earth Balance stick, or organic coconut oil
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla
2 organic free-range eggs, beaten (or 1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Replacer whisked with 1/4 cup warm water till frothy)
Add the whisked dry ingredients to the creamed brown sugar and beat to combine.
Add in:
3 to 3 1/2 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
Start with 3 cups GF oats. Mix till distributed evenly. If you'd like more in the batter, add in another half cup.
Add in:
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Stir by hand to combine.
Spoon balls of dough onto lined baking sheets and press down a bit to make a cookie shape. If you like your cookies flat and crispy, press down a bit thinner. If not, keep them more rounded.
If you're not sure, do a test run with a single cookie if you like, to see how much the dough spreads while baking.
Bake for about 12 minutes until slightly golden and chewy. (Note: Longer baking time (15 minutes) creates a harder cookie, closer to packaged oatmeal cookies.
Cool the baking sheets on a wire rack for 3-4 minutes; than remove the cookies onto cooling rack. Wrap cooled cookies in recycled foil and freeze in freezer bags for future treats. These cookies keep better than most gluten-free cookies, due to the oats, so if you'd like to experiment, keep a few in an air-tight container. Best if eaten in a day or two.
Cook time: 12 to 15 min Yield: 24 cookies

Some celiacs cannot tolerate oats, even if certified gluten-free. Possibly due to the high fiber (though this may actually help some folks). Check with your doctor if you find oats are difficult to digest.
