13 Aces and Nine Blocks Helps Women's Volleyball Roll to 3-0 Sweep of Belmont Abbey
September 30, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Thanks in part to 13 service aces and nine team blocks, the Pfeiffer Lady Falcons rolled to a 3-0 (25-15, 25-17, 25-15) sweep over the visiting Belmont Abbey Crusaders in Conference Carolinas womens volleyball action on Wednesday night at Merner Gym. With the win, Pfeiffer picked up its seven-straight win improving to 10-6 overall, 7-1 in conference play. Belmont Abbey falls to 2-10, 2-5.
In set one, the Lady Falcons jumped out to a quick 7-3 lead on three-consecutive kills by junior Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL). An ace by Crusader libero Taylor Stern (Greensboro, NC) would get the visitors as close as two early in the set before the Lady Falcons pulled away on another Mordini kill. Late in the set, Brittany Dickens (Raleigh, NC) would register a couple of kills, Vanessa Gerig (Towanda, IL) would serve up a pair of aces and Belmont Abbey would commit 14 errors allowing Pfeiffer to take a 1-0 match advantage.
In the middle set, the Crusaders would have an early 5-3 lead on a kill by sophomore Steffanie Holler (Wake Forest, NC). Mordini would help bring the Lady Falcons back even with a kill before the Crusaders would miscue on three-straight attack attempts for a 10-8 Pfeiffer lead. Halfway through the set, Dickens would help herself out with two more aces and get a couple of kills from freshman Jordan OBryant (Reidsville, NC) to lead Pfeiffer to the 25-17 win in set two.
Down 10-5 in set three on a Bria James (Statesville, NC) kill, the Lady Falcons would roar back to score the next seven points taking a 12-10 lead on a Victoria Parrish (Henderson, NC) ace. An ace by Holler put Belmont Abbey within one at 14-13 before four more errors by the visitors gave Pfeiffer the 25-15 set and match win.
Mordini led all attackers with 10 kills on the night. James for Belmont Abbey secured nine while Dickens finished with eight. Six of Pfeiffers 13 aces would go to Dickens while Gerig scored another four. Gerig also finished with a match-high 29 assists. Belmont Abbey finished the night with 43 errors.
Pfeiffer will be back in action on Friday night at conference-leader Mount Olive at 7:00 p.m. The Lady Falcons will wrap up the weekend trip with a noon match at Barton.

Comments about Bell Sequence Helmet 2013:
This fit my bean fine with a size Large. My noggin measures 59 ¾ and is on the long and narrow side of things. I have trouble with some size large helmets where they are too tight on the front, and there's a gap on sides. This works great, even with a head band or balaclava. The adjustment is fast and easy, and I have no issues adjusting when wearing long finger gloves. I like it!

After playing lacrosse for four years at the University of Virginia — a stint that included three trips to the NCAA title match — Megan Meixner wanted to keep her hand (and stick) in the sport she loves.
After her Marine husband, John, was given transfer orders from Quantico, Va., to Camp Lejeune, the 28-year-old Meixner initially planned on becoming a referee before discovering that Jacksonville High School was starting a girls' lacrosse team one year after adding a boys' team.
"It worked out, and here I am," Meixner said Tuesday before a video session with her team on the eve of the Cardinals' first home match today at 5 p.m. against Ashley. "It's awesome. It's really cool.
"It's different because coming from UVa you see people that they're just going through the motions and like they've been doing this their whole life. And to see people actually learn it and want to learn it and get excited about doing stuff, that's really what growing the sport is all about."
The Cardinals, who dropped their season opener at Hoggard 16-1 last week, have 19 players. And while most had never played the sport until this year, a few do have some experience, led by junior Zoe Hurtado and Ana Edwards, a sophomore.
Other key players so far include Shavaine Byass, Amandajean Blackburn and Reina Kinnaly.
Meixner actually learned of the JHS opening from Edwards' father, Mike, who is the girls' director of the Onslow Youth Lacrosse Association. And his daughter worked to encourage girls to come out for the sport, including her twin sister, Maria.
"Ana has been a huge help in getting this team started," Meixner said. "She really reached out to a lot of girls and encouraged people to come out for the team. So I have to attribute most of that to her. She did a really good job. She's very enthusiastic about it."
As with any new team, most of the girls who showed up for the first day of practice had never played lacrosse. Meixner estimated two to five had played at some point, "but it wasn't really consistent."
"They learned it and had played like one game, that type of thing," she said.
No matter, Meixner knew that would be one of the challenges she faced as the head coach of a program just getting off the ground. Given that, she focused on the basics and went from there with each practice.
"We focused a lot of the basics on stick skills and that kind of thing the first week, and slowly we've been introducing game transition and how to attack, what you should work on, and how to do defense, and then it's kind of like just throw them out there. They're smart girls. They'll figure it out," Meixner said.
"As I see how they're learning, then we focus on OK, well, this is what we can do better here and this is what we can do better in other areas."
The biggest challenge, she said, was that it was a new sport for most of her players.
"It takes a lot of eye-hand coordination to pick up a stick, throw it, catch it, cradle it. That's really challenging," she said. "Also on defense, even when you get to UVa, who's been at the top (for years), there's always breakdown in defense. It's not that easy. It's very challenging. So that's definitely what we're focusing on still."
But one of the first things she taught was how to scoop up ground balls. Why?
"We knew the ball would be on the ground a lot," she said.
While lacrosse isn't as physical for the girls as it is for the boys, there is still contact. The sport isn't for the faint of heart, and Meixner doesn't baby her girls.
"Some of them, they're athletes and they go for it and they know what the deal is," she said. "Others we just have to say, 'You get checked on the finger. That happens, and it hurts and we know it, but you've got to play through it and that kind of thing.'
"We tell them you have to be tough and you have to be strong when you're out there."
During practice early, Meixner let her players try all the positions, but after a few sessions began to put them in positions that seemed to best suit their abilities. Still, she said, "it's evolving. We still have a lot to go through and figure out."
But the Cardinals have a coach who knows the sport and is backed up by an assistant, Meredith Lee, who also is well-versed in the sport having played it at Rutgers.
Meixner comes from an athletic family. Her mother, Debbie, started the youth lacrosse program in their hometown of Devon, Pa., and coached field hockey at Villanova. Meixner's two sisters played college lacrosse, Amy at the University of North Carolina and Lori at Penn State University.
The younger Megan had plenty of college lacrosse scholarship offers coming out of high school, but after visiting UVa she knew she'd found a home. While playing for the Cavaliers, she was on three teams that made it to the finals, including her senior year when she started at attack and scored three goals in a 15-13 loss to Northwestern in 2007.
While her sisters tried to persuade her to go to UNC or Penn State, Megan said she "wanted to do my own thing after being Amy and Lori's sister." And at Jacksonville, she's again doing her own thing, guiding a program through the inevitable growing pains of its inaugural season.
What are her expectations this season? A certain number of wins isn't included, she said. What is expected, Meixner said, is to live up to legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden's definition of success.
"His definition of a successful team is you did your best every single time. That's what I told the girls. That's what a successful team is," she said, "and that's what I want to accomplish at every single game is to play our best, never give up and always go at it 100 percent."
But you get the idea Meixner expects wins to come sooner rather than later for the Cardinals.
"I expect we're going to get better and better and better," she said. "I'm sure all the teams are very aware that we're a new team, but they should expect a lot from us, especially in the next couple years. We're going to work hard to be more competitive against the teams that have been here for 10-plus years."

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
The Ambrose
1255 20th Street, Santa Monica, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Santa Monica
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Adjust your mental picture of Santa Monica: the Ambrose is more than a mile inland, leaving the beach to the high rollers, who inflate their prices accordingly. Here you'll find that it is possible to get an excellent room in Santa Monica, at a charming little boutique, for about the price one would expect from a dreary chain motel—as long as you don't have to be right in the thick of the action.
Then again, stay here and you'll find the thick of the action is a relative concept—the Ambrose is quite close enough to anything that matters, whether the Third Street promenade or various business destinations like MTV and Sony. And this is no bargain-basement hotel; Arts and Crafts decor is satisfying enough, and some of the services are in the same league as the big boys by the beach including 24-hour room service, and, best of all, plentiful parking. Remember that nobody walks, except on the Promenade or the boardwalk; the hotel rents Classic Beach Cruisers for stylish scooting and maintains its own London-style black cab (fueled by environmentally friendly bio-diesel) for short trips.
That's not the only green touch — the Ambrose is full of them, from recycling and composting regimes to non-toxic cleaners and energy-efficient rooms. All in all, it's an above-average hotel at a rate that's well below average, at least for Santa Monica—you'll save some money for the Third Street boutiques and still sleep in style.
Please note: The Ambrose will be renovating the lobby and outdoor public spaces through the end of April 2015; guestrooms on the first and fourth floors will be unavailable through the end of February 2015.
How to get there:
The Ambrose hotel, located in Santa Monica, is a 20-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to an hour in traffic. Guest parking is available for $20 per night.

Sport Kilt Men's Hiking Kilt
Traditional Scottish kilt styling in material suited for trekking, hiking, and walking. Material dries quickly. Cooler and reduces chaffing. Wear at home or on the trail. Great for men and women. Enjoy wearing my Sport Kilt Hiking Kilt. It is a neat design with a wrap with velcro waist, traditional pleated kilt. Size XL with 18" hem weighs 320 g (11.3 oz). Customized mine with pockets, belt loops, and sown in pleats. The pockets easily hold an iPhone 6. Glad it is a skirt design, where I get to… Full review
Patagonia Baggies Skirt
Great unisex hiking or running skirt. Skirt allows you what to or NOT to wear beneath for activity. Great baggies material with flat waistband plus drawstring. Baggie Skirt is one of the best new Patagonia products in a long time! This skirt is ideal attire for backpacking, hiking, running, trekking, and walking. It is my new morning striding bottom. Baggie skirt is perfect for working out on our ranch, sharing a morning cuppa, running errands, and computing in my home office. This product will… Full review
Patagonia Quandary Skirt
Great fabric, nice cargo pocket, good fit, right length. Quandary Skirt's fabric and style will win you over — soooo comfortable! It is a great walking, running, hiking, backpacking, trekking, town, work, home, and much more wardrobe addition. This skirt quickly became my regular for working in my home office, on the tractor cutting brush, during early morning exercise walking, and while enjoying lunch on the front porch. This skirt should attract women and MEN adopters for backpacking, hiking,… Full review
Marmot Hayes Cargo Short
Decent hot weather hiking shorts. Wouldn't recommend them unless deeply discounted. The 34" waist was too small so I returned them for the 36" which I kept, but they are inconveniently too big. GREEN Olive. Full review
Kuhl Z Cargo Short
Pricey but very well made hiking shorts with thoughtfully designed pockets and waist size adjustment feature. You can tell the designers really did sweat the minor details of these shorts, thus the higher price. Wish list: Shorten the inseam and use a slightly heavier cloth so the fiddly inner sash button can be eliminated; add a couple more belt loops to the waist or perhaps make provisions for suspender buttons. I like both, the hanging hook loop sewn in next to the back belt loop and the alpine… Full review
RailRiders Jammin' Short
Best pair of shorts I have ever owned. Still wear two pairs that are 10+ years old and have hiked 500+ miles. These are the best all-purpose shorts I have ever owned. I rarely wear anything else. They are lightweight, comfortable, and extremely rugged. I have spent months at a time hiking/bushwhacking in just a single pair and the only hole they have is from a stray ember during a summer bonfire. The elastic waist makes them comfortable and they fit nicely on a variety of waist sizes. They dry super… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Elkommando Kilt
This is a great product for summer hiking and unrestricted movement. I wore this on the AT this weekend and loved it. However, you do get a few looks and some comments. Do not worry and come up with some snappy comebacks. As for the fit, I ordered a large and my waist is a 35-36 and it fit just right. However, if I gain any more weight they will be really tight. It has an adjustable belt but there is not much adjustment in the waist. It appears waterproof/resistant but I have not worn it in the… Full review
Sierra Designs Dricanvas Short
These shorts have the pockets you need and the fit you want if you are serious about hiking and backpacking. They look nice, feel great, and are clearly designed with the backpacker in mind!! These shorts fit really well. They allow for a full athletic range of motion. When wearing a pack there is no abrasion or rubbing of any kind. I prefer a bottom layer to have belt loops instead of the integrated belts. I find the built in belts always get tangled and rarely remain tight. Adding my own webbing… Full review
Columbia Whidbey II Water Short
The Columbia Whidbey II shorts are a fantastic pair of shorts that are quite versatile. Whether you are hiking, swimming, or playing a sport, these shorts will keep you going and keep you cool! I bought these shorts this past spring and have worn them A LOT this spring and summer! These shorts are a well-fitting and relaxed pair of shorts with an elastic waist and built-in belt. You can keep them comfortably fitting or cinch them down if the trail gets rugged or you need to dive into a swimming… Full review

Thanks for your interest in Oakley Eyewear!
We took the idea of "adapt and conquer" to the extreme. Oakley Fast Jacket™ XL is a performance product with a unique interchangeable lens design that lets you match your optics to your environment. Switching out the lenses is fast and easy, thanks to Switchlock™ Technology. It's an innovation that locks the lenses in place with a quick release system. With Switchlock, the lenses are securely suspended without any stresses that could alter the optics, so you'll have premium clarity with true, accurate vision. We shaped stainless steel with metal injection molding to create a convenient button that releases each lens. That means minimal handling and no hassle. Just put in a new lens set and go.
Between sunrise and sunset, there's a whole spectrum of possibility, but you can't take advantage of it unless your vision can adapt. If the sun pulls a disappearing act or busts its way through the clouds, just swap out the lenses with a different set. The advantages don't stop there. Pro athletes know it takes the right combination of light filtering, glare blocking, visual contrast and color balance to help them perform at their best, and it varies from sport to sport and place to place. With Fast Jacket™ XL, they have the power to adapt their vision quickly and give themselves every possible advantage.
Oakley Fast Jacket™ XL comes with the unbeatable technologies you expect from a world leader in performance innovation. Impact protection meets ANSI Z87.1 standards while clarity and optical precision exceed them. We achieve it all with the unrivaled technologies of High Definition Optics® (HDO®), including patented XYZ Optics® that maintains clarity at every angle of view. We use the most optically pure lens material in the industry, Plutonite®. It has the added advantage of filtering out every baking ray of ultraviolet light including UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm.
Fast Jacket™ XL has open-edge lens architecture to give you an advantage when looking through the downward view. We made the frame out of comfortably lightweight O Matter®, a durable material that withstands the punishment of pro sports. Each frame comes with two sizes of interchangeable nosepads to help you get a precise fit. Like the earstem sleeves, they are made of Oakley Unobtainium® that increases grip when you perspire. A Three-Point Fit keeps the optics precisely aligned while maximizing comfort by eliminating the pressure points that come with ordinary frames that hook your ears.
Oakley Fast Jacket™ XL comes with two sets of interchangeable lenses. We formulated one set for bright sun and engineered the other for lower light, so you'll be ready for a wide range of environments. It all stows conveniently in the included case. When you're ready to hone-in on the best optics for your particular sport or application, take a look at the optional lens sets made for this premium performance sunglass.
Need prescription lenses? No worries there. We make authentic Oakley True Digital™ prescription lenses that include our Oakley Dual-Peripheral Technology™ that work perfectly with the Switchlock™ system of Fast Jacket™ XL, and you can choose from a wide array of lens options.

How long does it take to get a radiation treatment?
Gary Freedman, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn , responds:
A daily radiation treatment will usually take about 5-10 minutes. There is more time needed to set up a patient into the treatment position, check and double check the patient alignment, take verification films on some days. The actual 'beam on' time is usually 5 minutes.
Most departments will assign patients a 15-minute window to have their daily treatment.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat. Series, View the Life After Breast Cancer transcript.
Dec 13, 2011 - Breast cancer survivors treated with chemotherapy plus radiation or radiation alone may experience poorer cognitive functioning over time, according to a study published online Dec. 12 in Cancer.

Gallery: Valerie Hegarty Uses Recycled Materials to Create Haunting Wor...
Hegarty's artwork is a little disorienting at first. When approaching her pieces, they first appears to be extremely damaged historical artifacts that have been overtaken by nature or natural disaster. Upon closer inspection, we can see that this "damage" is Hegarty's expert ability to create the look of singed canvas, waterlogged wood, or overgrown foliage.
New Yorkers could see an example of her style of depicting branches growing through a canvas, with her piece "Autumn on the Hudson Valley with Branches," that hangs outside on a fence on the High Line Park. Set within the lush backdrop of the High Line, the branches emerging through the shredded canvas seems like a beautiful accident, harmonizing with the park.
Hegarty's new pieces continue this process using recycled materials. Entitled "West Rock with Branches," a large landscape painting greets visitors as they enter her studio. As if to return to the Earth, the frame of the painting morph seamlessly into twisted tree branches that coil around each other below the painting, as if the landscape were a living, growing being.
Two of her new pieces have a nautical theme, using techniques to emulate water damage. The frame of a painting of big sailed ships deteriorates before our eyes, the painting slashed much like the damage sails endure on the high seas. More impressively, the artist has transformed a massive used wooden wardrobe into a detailed relic that appears to have spent many years on the ocean's floor. Faux barnacles and decay adorn the piece, enlivening our imaginations of the decadent ship that once held the armoire.
In the center of the room is perhaps the most striking piece, comprised of a painting hung over a vintage coffee table. As if caught in a massive, melting fire, the painting is singed almost in two, dripping onto the table below which has also been split and melted. The piece is at once powerful, but also inspires an incredible possibility of narratives.
Valerie Hegarty has the fantastical ability to create artistic beauty in the form of decay. Her unique works are gorgeous, but also evoke history, tragedy, and wonder, leaving the viewer with much to ponder. Hegarty's work is currently on view at Marlborough Gallery in Chelsea through May 5, 2012.

Barbra: The Way She Is
Barbra: The Way She Is (Paperback)
She is a global icon, the ultimate diva, the Brooklyn girl made good, the ugly duckling who blossomed into a modern-day Nefertiti, the Oscar-winning actress and bona fide movie mogul, and arguably the greatest female singer who has ever lived. Equally adored and despised, she is one of the worlds most recognized celebrities—those slightly crossed eyes, that nose . . . the voice. Yet even to the multitudes who idolize her, Streisand has remained aloof, unknowable, tantalizingly beyond reach . . . until now.
Drawing from in-depth interviews with eyewitnesses to her remarkable life and career, number-one New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen paints a fascinating, startling portrait of Barbra Joan Streisand—the artist, the woman, a true American original.
About the Author
Christopher Andersen is the critically acclaimed author of twenty-eight books, which have been translated into more than twenty-five languages worldwide. A former contributing editor of Time magazine and senior editor of People magazine, Andersen has also written hundreds of articles for a wide range of publications, including Life magazine, the New York Times, and Vanity Fair.
Praise for Barbra: The Way She Is…
"...hits all the high notes."
-USA Today
"...a scandalicious new bio packed with fresh dirt on the world's most reclusive diva."
-New York Post
"The book reads like buttah!"
-Al Roker, The Today Show
"[Andersen] has a knack for ferreting out memorable anecdotes of the 'no wire hangers' variety."
-New York Times Book Review, Inside the List

On the wrestling mat at New Bern High, the expectations are astronomical.
The Bears have a rich wrestling tradition, dating back to former coach Tom Marsh.
The winning is still contagious. Just two seasons ago,
The Bears begin a new season on Wednesday at Washington High.
"You don't expect a bad season around here,"
Lansche is banking on them to lead the Bears to another successful season.
"I expect all three of them to place, and I expect a couple other guys to step in and place," Lansche said.
The Bears lost De'Mitrious Davenport, Chris Waters and Brian Best from last year's squad.
But returning wrestlers Pa Sanneh (152), Nick Wheeler (106), Jon Sherman (126) and Garrett Pfifer (132) helped guide
"If all of our best people show up to each match, and we don't give up many pins, we should be pretty solid," said Milks.

"They've been working hard all preseason," Lansche said. "The guys are ready to go. They've had about two weeks of tough practices, so they are itching to get on the mat."
Lansche said he is still working to fill in spots of several weight classes. There are some freshmen he is willing to test.
"We have 22 tough guys," he said. "We have a lot of upperclassmen, and then we will have a couple freshmen step into the lineup. We are going to be pretty solid."
Milks, a senior, said the wrestlers have pushed each other hard in the practice room. He is hoping it benefits the team by the end of the season.
"We are building up confidence, make sure we are pushing each other and try to make each other better," he said. "I feel like I can go a little bit further than I did last year, and probably place at states this year."

- Hirschsprung's Disease
(Congenital Megacolon; Colonic Aganglionosis)
|Hirschsprung's Disease
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
- Family members with the disease
- Sex: male
- Presence of Down Syndrome
- Presence of other congenital defects
- Failure to have a bowel movement within the first 48 hours of life
- Vomiting after eating
- Swelling of abdomen
- Severe constipation
- Diarrhea
- Anemia
- Growth delay
- Severe constipation for most of their lives
- Anemia
- X-ray
- Barium enema with x-ray
- Pull-through operation—The affected area of the colon is removed. The remaining healthy colon is then brought down and joined to the rectum.
- Colostomy—This may be done to allow your bowel time to rest and heal. After the affected area of colon is removed, the healthy colon is not immediately connected to the rectum. Instead, the colon is attached to an opening in the abdominal wall. Waste will then pass through this opening and into a bag outside the body. This may be done in children who are very sick or have a large portion of the colon affected.
- Closure of the colostomy—After the area has healed, the colon will be connected to the rectum. The colostomy opening will be closed. Bowel function will gradually return to normal.

Set Your Windows Free!
While you're rethinking your color schemes, you might want to rethink your window curtains and drapes as well. Heavy window curtains can block natural light even when they are pulled away from the window. If you really want to reveal more of your natural light, consider switching out your heavy fabrics for simple, lightweight ones that can reveal the whole window when opened. Cotton or polyester fabrics work well and can be made into sheer or translucent curtains that even allow light into your home while closed. This is a great way to maintain privacy and still take advantage of the daylight outside. Remember, the color of your lightweight curtain will influence the color of the light in your room. You can create a wash of golden light through the installation of gold or yellow curtains, or add a rosy tint to your room with red or burgundy curtains. Have fun using curtain colors to enhance the atmosphere of your home!

You will need to know the square footage of the room in which you plan to lay adhesive vinyl floor tiles. Tiles are 12" by 12" and come in varying thicknesses. Don't go for the very thin tiles, as they will wear out quickly.
Once you know the square footage of the room, you can estimate the cost and number of tiles needed. It's a good idea to purchase a few extra tiles in case of mistakes. For example, if you have an 8' by 10' room (80 square feet), buy 90 tiles. Then you have 10 extra tiles to work with.

Lake Stevens' coach glad he was wrong about McGee
Vikings' junior proves she can excel in high jump and hurdles
But in the case of Lake Stevens track and field coach Jeff Page, he doesn't mind.
When Samantha McGee joined the track and field team as a freshman, her first-ever sports team, Page thought that her best chance to succeed was to focus on the hurdles events. Even though McGee kept gravitating toward the high jump, which is generally viewed as more fun.
By the end of her sophomore year, McGee was going to state in both events. And finishing 10th in the state in both as well.
"She spent more time at the high jump because it was more fun and she was better at it," Page said. "I told her, 'You need to be over at the hurdles. It's an event that you could go to state and medal at. The high jump will be harder for you to get to state.' Turns out I was wrong. She got to state in both.
"I like it when I'm wrong that way."
Now McGee has committed herself to the Vikings' track and field team. While at Cavelero Middle School, one of McGee's teachers, who happened to be a track coach, repeatedly talked to her about joining the track team.
McGee caved, and she couldn't be happier she did.
"(Assistant) Coach (Cliff) Chafee was one of my teachers and he was like, 'try out for track! Try out for track,'" McGee said. "I thought, 'OK, I guess I will.' So I came out and I really liked it. I like how it's the whole team. It's like a family. Everyone's welcome. And, I was good, so that kind of helped."
McGee has continued to impress Page as she continues into her junior year. She has the top 4A time in the area for the 100 hurdles (15.76 seconds), as well as the top distance in the high jump (5 feet, 6 inches).
"She is the model for what people hope happens. It's a cool thing when a kid comes in as an athlete and gets bit by the bug and is willing to put in the work," Page said.
According to Page, McGee was built for track and field. Not only is she super-athletic, but she also has an attitude that is tailor-made for the sport.
"She knows how to compete now. She always wanted to do what it took and was willing to race hard," Page said. "She's got a really good temperament for track and field. Track and field involves a lot of waiting. ... That requires a certain kind of temperament. She can step up when it's time and she can be ready. And she can relax. I find that pretty impressive. Every place we've gone this year she just seems to handle everything, no matter where we are or what's going on."
At Friday's 4A Wesco Championships Page said he saw McGee limping after the 400 relay and immediately "thought this wasn't good." Then she ran a personal best in the hurdle race, and then cleared 5-6 on the high jump, which was another personal record, as well as a school and meet record.
After she hit 5-6, she decided to put the bar up to 5-8, what Page said she'd likely have to clear to win state, to see if she could make it.
"Her first attempt at 5-8 she was nearly over it. She just caught it," Page said. "It was unbelievable. And that was her seventh or eighth jump of the competition. After warming up and running three races too."
McGee was excited to get the school record, but still has the goal of jumping 5-8 at state.
"I was really excited to make 5-6 and beat the school record. That was really cool," McGee said. "I'm just really ready for state. I'm hoping to do better than I did last year. I definitely want to jump 5-8. I want to (have a personal best time) in the hurdles and hopefully run in the low 15s."
A running start student, McGee is only on campus for a couple hours a day. While at Lake Stevens High School McGee attends Page's Advanced Placement History class after an athletics strength training and conditioning course.
Page said that several Lake Stevens athletes are in that strength training and conditioning class, and that he's often told by the teacher that McGee is among the hardest workers of all of them.
"She's worked really hard at that. It's great to see that it's really paying off," Page said. "The word is out among our kids. If you really want to be successful as an athlete the road to the state meet basically runs through the weight room. Even if you're a distance runner."
When she's not at school -- or track -- McGee also has a job at Safeway. Between the three activities McGee has very little free time.
"I have free time on Mondays, that's about it," McGee said laughing. "Every day after school I go to work and after work I go to track. It's busy but it's nice keeping busy. I get kind of bored when I'm not doing anything."
McGee should remain busy through the state tournament, where Page thinks she will improve on last year's finishes.
"I think she wants to be on the awards stand at state," Page said. "After Friday night she's got to be thinking -- at least I'm thinking -- she'll get pretty high up on the award stand. The top high jump in the state in 4A is 5-7 and there are three girls who have gone 5-6 and Sam's one of them.
"She seems to be peaking at just the right time. The Wesco record that she broke was a record that was co-held by three girls and two of them were Lake Stevens girls. We've had some good high jumpers recently but Sam is just able to do some things the other ones couldn't do. It's pretty fun to watch."
McGee, who still has another season with the Vikings next year, hopes to earn a scholarship for track and field and continue to compete in college. As for her senior year, she's thinking she might stick with the same events, although she's not ruling out trying the long jump, an event she tried at the beginning of the year.
"I'm going to give it my all," McGee said. "I'll probably stick with the same events. Maybe do long jump. I was doing the long jump earlier this season then got carried into the 4 x 100 (relay)."
Page is willing to give it a shot.
"I think she'd be a pretty good long jumper too," Page said. "I think by the time she graduates, she's going to be a pretty remarkable, pretty darned good high school track and field athlete."
The Lake Stevens coach doesn't think he'll be wrong about that.

CLINTON, S.C. - The Pfeiffer University men's soccer team traveled to Division I foe Presbyterian and played the Blue Hose to a 1-1 draw in exhibition play. Dammy Balogun scored in the 47th minute to give the Falcons a 1-0 lead that they would hold until Presbyterian connected on the tying goal with only 4:22 left in regulation.
The teams played a scoreless first half at Martin Stadium as the Falcons out shot Presbyterian 4-3. Balogun took a feed from Aldo Ramirez to beat Tyler Beadle just under two minutes into the second half. Pfeiffer held the lead for just under 40 minutes until Matthew McManis beat keeper Nicholas Dulac to knot the score at one.
The result was encouraging for first year head coach Bob Reasso.
"It was a great workout for our guys today in very humid conditions and we got the chance to play a lot of players," said Reasso. "Each team's keepers played very well, but I believe we had the better chances and could have won the game. We are very proud of our guys, they were able to translate what we've worked on in practice into quality play on the field. This gives us something to build on".
Dulac made four stops in the contest and the Blue Hose keepers combined to made five saves for Presbyterian. The Falcons held a 3-2 advantage in corner kicks.
The Falcons continue their pre-season slate when they travel to Greensboro on Saturday for a 1 p.m. match.

Friday, May 23, 2014
"Maxim" has released their complete Hot 100, and this year, the top spot went to South African model Candice Swanepoel. The rest of the top five is: Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, Irina Shayk and Jennifer Lawrence.
KIM KARDASHIAN'S aunt Karen Houghton could be in Paris this weekend watching Kim get hitched to KANYE WEST, but she decided to skip it for two reasons . . . First, there are wildfires in Southern California that are threatening her neighborhood . . . plus she's already seen Kim get married TWICE before.
CHARLIE SHEEN has started a feud with RIHANNA after she refused to meet his fiancée, while they were both at the same restaurant on Wednesday. Charlie called her "the Village Idiot" in a long Twitter rant . . . Rihanna dismissed him as an "old queen" . . . and Charlie kept it going by thanking her for recognizing his "royalty."
A 29-year-old Romanian man tried to break into GEORGE CLOONEY'S villa in Lake Como, Italy. He didn't get in, but he did find a bottle of wine in a "small alcove" in the garden. Unfortunately, one of George's employees saw the man and called police. The guy tried to attack the cops with the bottle, but they took him down and hauled him in.

Thursday, May 22, 2014
In a new interview with "People" magazine, ELIN NORDEGREN says she was "devastated" when she found out her husband TIGER WOODS was messing around. But she's "moved on" and she's even happy he's with LINDSEY VONN. She says, quote, "Our relationship is centered around our children, and we are doing really good, we really are. He is a great father. "I'm happy for Tiger. In general, in any kind of stepparent relationship, I'm happy that there's somebody else loving my children."
ANGELINA JOLIE may have taken a shot at GWYNETH PALTROW for claiming she has it harder than the average mom. Without mentioning Gwyneth by name, Angelina says, quote, "I'm in a rare position where I don't have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it. I actually feel that women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn't complain."
What finally set Robert Downey Junior on the path to sobriety and a career resurgence? The answer will probably surprise you. In a new interview, Robert says he made the breakthrough in 2003 after he was driving a car filled with "tons of dope" and decided to stop for a hamburger. He says, "I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen." Downey says he then threw all of his drugs into the ocean and decided at that moment to get clean.
5/21/14 Clooney's Best-Man

Wednesday, May 21, 2014
The not-always-reliable British tabloids say that GEORGE CLOONEY has chosen MATT DAMON to be his best man . . . rather than BRAD PITT. A source says, quote, "A lot of people thought Brad was a certainty to be George's best man because they have been such good friends for years. But he is probably even closer to Matt. Brad took the news with good grace . . . but he did say he'd heckle Matt during his speech.''
KIM KARDASHIAN'S last-minute wedding preparations include a $550 STEM CELL FACIAL. Don't worry . . . no unborn babies were harmed. These were VEGAN stem cells from a marine plant. They're supposed to firm and lift the skin. Also, still no official word whether Kim and KANYE WEST are getting married in Paris or Florence, by the way. But a British tabloid says LANA DEL REY has agreed to perform. Kanye wanted her to perform at the proposal, but she turned him down.
Last month, KHLOE and KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN got CONFETTI-BOMBED by some weird dude named Richie the Barber. He's an actual barber, but he also juggles and rides a unicycle. And he has clown makeup TATTOOED on his face. Well, the girls reported the incident to police, who basically laughed it off. But a few days ago they called the cops to follow up, and said they want BATTERY charges pressed against Richie. Sources say that's not likely to happen.
This probably isn't true, but Radar Online says WILL SMITH and JADA PINKETT are being investigated by Child Protective Services over that picture of their daughter WILLOW on a bed with a shirtless, 20-year-old guy.

Tuesday, May 20, 2014
RAY J is reportedly giving KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST $47,000 as a wedding gift. It's Ray's cut of four months' worth of profits from the SEX TAPE he and Kim made. That's right, Ray is still making crazy money off that tape. And Kim makes at least as much. Vivid Entertainment says it has grossed $50 million since it came out seven years ago.
KIM KARDASHIAN is on record saying she and KANYE WEST are NOT filming their wedding for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians". But RadarOnline.com says she's LYING. A source says, quote, "Kim will tell camera shy guests that the filming is their own videographers capturing the day and not for broadcast, which is a white lie." The source adds that it was KRIS JENNER who convinced Kim and Kanye to let the cameras roll. Only SOME of the ceremony will air, and JAY Z and BEYONCÉ will NOT be filmed.
"Maxim" magazine drops its annual Hot 100 list next month, but they revealed some names yesterday. They include Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, Selena Gomez, Shakira, Carrie Underwood, and Paula Patton.
Family harmony has been restored! Jay Z, Beyoncé, Solange and their mom Tina Knowles posed for a picture together. This might be why everyone's happy again: There's an Internet rumor going around that Solange was just chosen to be the opening act on Jay and Beyoncé's joint tour . . . and she'll make $8 million for the gig.
5/19/14 Pamela Anderson Reveals Horrifying Story

Monday, May 19, 2014
KANYE WEST calls Florence, Italy one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and says his daughter North may have been conceived there. A city official now claims that Kanye and KIM KARDASHIAN are getting married there this weekend. But several news outlets continue to claim the ceremony will be in Paris.
CAMERON DIAZ might be sharing her non-shaven arm-pits with GOOD CHARLOTTE guitarist BENJI MADDEN. A source says, quote, "They've spent a lot of time at Cameron's house. He is the nicest guy and treats her like a lady." Yes, this seems like a completely random pairing. But the word is that Cameron is good friends with NICOLE RICHIE, who's married to Benji's twin brother and band mate JOEL. Cameron is 41 . . . Benji is 35.
On Saturday, MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY was hanging out with friends on a balcony in New Orleans, when someone on the balcony noticed that BRAD PITT was on a balcony across the street. They acknowledged each other, and it was somehow decided that Matthew needed a cold beer . . . and Brad just happened to have one. So he tossed it. And someone just happened to catch the whole thing on video and in a series of photos.
Could JUSTIN BIEBER be cleaning up his act? A "source" says he has given up the SIZZURP. Apparently, he's become obsessed with working out, which is hard to do when you're high on cough syrup. He's also been spending a lot more time with his mom and his manager Scooter Braun, as opposed to his usual crew of hangers-on.
At a recent event for her non-profit organization, PAMELA ANDERSON revealed the HORRIFYING sexual abuse she endured as a child. She said that despite having "loving parents," she had a tough childhood that included being repeatedly molested by a female babysitter from the ages of six to 10. And a few years later, the older brother of one of her friends RAPED her. She went on, quote, "My first boyfriend, in Grade 9, decided it would be funny to gang rape me, with six of his friends."

For the Common Good stresses the need for a new kind of leadership committed to promoting social welfare, justice, and opportunity. Buy from Amazon.
"Contributors from business, education, religion, and politics set out the ethical requirements of leadership in the 21st century the obligations of leaders to promote justice, fairness, trust, and the conditions necessary for people to promote communities that flourish. They focus on practical matters, leaving theory to others." - Reference and Research Book News

"A sobering and inspiring portrait of the wide-ranging and complex global leadership challenges that confront our institutions and the critical role that ethical leaders can play in effectively addressing them." - David Vogel, Solomon P. Lee Professor of Business Ethics, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley
"Knapp has compiled a stellar collection that brings together reflections on the ethics of leadership by 11 academic and societal heavyweights such as John Hume, Howard Gardner, and Arun Gandhi….Knapp divides the essays into three sections, in which contributors consider the new climate in which leadership must be practiced; explicate leadership challenges in a global context; and examine how higher education can foster a sense of responsibility for the common good among college students who will become the new generation of leaders in this complex, fast-paced society. Focusing on the practice of ethical leadership, each contributor makes the case with moral authority that ethical leadership is as much about the personhood of the leader as it is about understanding the context in which leadership is practiced.
