Shining Stars: Mead volleyball team
Judy Kight has won seven state titles in 23 years as the Mead volleyball coach, and with eleven seniors on this year's squad, the Panthers look prime to make it eight. Mead also might have the strongest academic team in the state as nine of those eleven seniors qualify as Shining Stars.
"My name is Paige Montgomery, I'm a middle blocker, my GPA is 3.75."
"Mackenzie McPhee, I'm a right side, and I have a 3.98."
"Meghan Elmore, I'm a setter and I have a 4.0."
"Jonni Dorr, I'm a setter and I have a 3.8."
In sport, success can be contagious. For Mead, that holds true both on the court and in the classroom. "We have our priorities in line, we know what we have to do, we're disciplined and we get it done," says Taylor Ellingsen.
"We're in a lot of each others classes, so we're with each other all day and we never get tired of it, which is amazing, but we absolutely love each other," adds Natalie Kassa.
Nine shining stars make up this group of eleven seniors - one of the most unique that Judy Kight has ever had. "The job is easy because of who they are, you know," says Kight. " They really do have great character, they're intelligent, they're talented, and they're experienced in the game."
"The term family is really appropriate here, because we're all like sisters: love eacher other, we're all best friends," adds Sierra Crook. "So I think that's what makes us unique and also what gives us that edge."
An edge that's resulted in a perfect season for the Panthers, who realize they have a target on their back. "All these other teams are working really hard, every practice, trying to beat Mead so we need to prepare for that, and beat them," says
Maddy Underwood.
And as they prepare for state, the group of eleven, shares one common goal. Just ask Morgan Douglass. "All of us have been playing volleyball together since fifth grade so we have the big picture in mind and we want that state championship."

About the School of Journalism, Australian and Indigenous Studies
The School of Journalism, Australian and Indigenous Studies is based at the Caulfield campus and houses the Journalism program, the National Centre for Australian Studies and the Monash Indigenous Centre.
The School has an innovative teaching and research culture with strong performance in competitive grants and publications. It has a particularly strong record in collaborative research with partners from government and industry, and staff in the School have leading roles in three of the Faculty of Art's ten Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grants. Examples of current projects include:
- a centenary history of ANZAC Day, led by Professor Bruce Scates (in partnership with the Department of Veterans' Affairs);
- a major biography of Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, by Professor Jenny Hocking (in partnership with the National Library of Australia and the National Archives);
- a detailed study of heritage tourism and the historical landscapes of Australia, Asia and the Pacific by Monash Fellow Dr Keir Reeves; and
- an ARC Discovery project on Aboriginal visual histories by Professor Lynette Russell and ARC Future Fellow Dr Jane Lydon.
The School is highly interdisciplinary, with research strengths including: areas of media practice; journalism and democracy; investigative journalism; the media reporting of climate change; Indigenous history and contemporary issues; Australian studies; biography and biographical studies; tourism and heritage; sport and society; publishing studies; dance and fashion; cultural policy and creative industries.
The School has a strong commitment to public engagement, staging major public events and contributing regularly to public forums, journalism and media commentary. The National Centre for Australian Studies has a program of National Conversations, the Journalism area has established a high profile in public journalism and the Monash Indigenous Centre plays an important role in public engagement around indigenous issues. Recent books published within the school have gained major public attention, notably Professor Jenny Hocking's Gough Whitlam: People, Party, Politics and Dr Tony Moore's Death or Liberty: Rebels and Radicals Transported to Australia 1788-1868, both of which were listed for non-fiction book prizes. Research fellow, Dr Tim Soutphommasane is a senior project leader at the think tank Per Capita and a regular columnist for the Weekend Australian.
International collaboration is also seen as a key aspect of the school's activities in particular through Journalism's Global Environmental Journalism Initiative linking eight Australian and European universities and through the international collaborative teaching engagements fostered by Journalism and the National Centre for Australian Studies.
The success of JAIS in its mission to provide excellent teaching in its wide range of programs is measured by student enrolments, which are very strong across all of the School's offerings, and by student satisfaction as measured by regular surveys conducted independently by the University.The School's strong commitment to teaching has seen a number of staff recognised for their efforts at both University and Faculty level. Associate Professor Philip Chubb, for example, received a Dean's commendation in 2010 for his teaching of Environmental Journalism, which is a popular third year unit that provides students with the knowledge and skills to write on climate change at the local and global level. The 2011 students went one step further and the unit was evaluated as such a success that it was placed in the top three per cent university-wide.
National Centre for Australian Studies
The National Centre for Australian Studies (NCAS) is Australia's leading research and teaching centre in Australian Studies with a proven reputation for excellence in teaching, quality research supervision and significant staff and graduate student publication. Our teaching is distinguished by an interdisciplinary approach, innovative use of experiential field trips within Australia and overseas, and industry engagement within our post-graduate programs. NCAS offers a growing interdisciplinary research program for students undertaking PhDs in Australian Studies, Communications and Media Studies, Tourism and Publishing and Editing, and is a centre for research on war and memory, sport, creative cultural industries, Australia's relationship to the world, political movements and the national project. Tourism and travel research is a growing specialisation through our new Australia-International Tourism Research Unit (AITRU). NCAS fosters national and international research collaborations with partners right across Asia and the world, attracts highly competitive research funding from leading national and international agencies, builds linkages to industry and the wider community in innovative and successful research collaborations and boasts a team of internationally acclaimed experts in the field of Australian Studies offering quality supervision to quality students.

Journalism Program
Journalism at Monash is the largest and most stimulating undergraduate program in Australia. It combines a practice-based approach with rigorous professional and intellectual standards. Students are taught by journalists who are at the top of their field, including permanent staff members who between them have won all of Australia's most prestigious journalism and television awards. Members of staff have experience at senior levels in all media: newspapers, radio, television and the web.
Journalism students have access to a vast range of electives from the Arts Faculty and other parts of Australia's largest university and can create a degree that suits their own interests and aspirations.
Monash Journalism is an exciting place to be, both for students who want a career in journalism, and for those who are still deciding their futures but want excellent research and communication skills.
Journalism is an essential component of a free, democratic society, holding to account powerful vested interests such as governments, corporations, unions, churches and other institutions. Through a vibrant journalistic culture, citizens can make informed choices about how they live their lives, how they vote, what they do with their money, how they live in their environments and which movies and sports they go to see.
Huge structural changes enabled by the internet are taking place in the media worldwide. While these will test some media outlets, they will also create exciting opportunities and new jobs. Whatever the fallout, the world will still need well-trained journalists to produce hard news stories, features, and intelligent analysis.

My favorite to add to my green tea! Yummy!
A bit of aftertaste - not too much flavour
Posted by blueberrysegments on May 15, 2014
I'm a bit bummed with this as I expected lots of flavour and little to non aftertaste and it doesn't match any of my expectations! When you smell it in the bottle it brings the illusion of being super flavourful, but when mixed in with the beverages it doesn't transfer. It can also give a bit of aftertaste if you want to sweeten your drink.

A while back, I bought a bag of marshmallows, indulged a bit, and then forgot about the opened bag for a few weeks. To my surprise, and disappointment, when my marshmallows cravings returned the top ones were rock-hard while the bottom ones were almost as soft as when I bought them. Why was this the case? By leaving the bag open, water had migrated from the marshmallows into the air.Read More

Transformers are used to increase the voltage of an alternating current (AC) before moving it along the power grid via power lines. Since power lines lose energy through heating cased by electric currents, you can achieve more economical power transmission by transforming to a high voltage and low current. As a matter of fact, high voltage (HV) power transmission lines transmit portions of its power in the air surrounding it. Furthermore, as the current travels long distances through many transformer […]Read More

So - this is kind of a spin off to the iron vitamin thread...
Both DD and DS are on vitamins - both a little different, but each have flouride....Pedi said it was necessary since we do not have fluoride in our drinking water here....Is this OK??

I don't know which one you are using, but look at the amount of flouride it contains and then google the amount a normal city supply has. The one my kids use has a little less than most people's city drinking water.
Our blessings from God!

And I am even more blessed by being married to my best friend and the most honorable man I've ever known.
"The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." - Abraham Lincoln
Since I live in a state without flouride DS gets flouride drops. DS gets 0.6mls of flurabon 0.25. The label says he gets 0.25mg of the flouride ion. This appears to be the standard dose from 6mo to 3 yrs.
One thing to consider is what is "naturally" in the water. Some basins have a lot of naturally occurring flouride because of the surrounding rock. You can get testing strips I think.
Overdosing on flouride is definitely a problem, but... I guess military dentists can tell an Oregon mouth because the teeth are not as strong/healthy.

Wondering if you have PPD? Take the screening and see your doctor. You deserve to feel better.
My 2 year old lo has been getting a flouride vitamin (its in a dropper and has other stuff in there too) that says 0.25 mg. He has been getting this since he was around a year as the suggestion of the ped. He doesn't drink a lot of water, mostly milk and juice, and bm until recently. He has infant toothpaste that has no flouride. I personally didn't get enough as a child and am about to have my 27th filling on my adult teeth, not fun! But too much causes staining, so I would talk to ped. about how much your lo needs and if you aren't sure how much is in your water or can't tell consistently how much your lo is drinking, I'd consider switching to bottle water that has no flouride and using the vitamins. That way you can be sure the amount.
I'm proud to be first woman in my family to breastfeed!

Fluoride Supplements: Ineffective with side effects, study shows
"There is weak and inconsistent evidence that the use of fluoride supplements prevents dental caries [cavities] in primary teeth," according to a systematic review of fluoride supplement research published in the November 2008 Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA).
The authors could find only one study, from China, showing any fluoride cavity-preventing benefit to primary teeth and that study was probably biased with a high withdrawal rate, the authors write.
Mild -to-moderate dental fluorosis (white spotted and/or yellow teeth) is a significant fluoride supplement side effect, they report.
Fluoride supplements, although a prescription drug, were never FDA [Food and Drug Administration] tested for safety or effectiveness because sodium fluoride was on the market pre-1938 before FDA testing laws were enacted. (1)
In 2007, the American Dental Association (ADA) reported on its web site that fluoride supplements put children six and under at significant risk of permanently discolored teeth; but never shared that information with the American public, pediatricians or MD's who still prescribe fluoride supplements to toddlers. (2)
"This review confirmed that, in non-fluoridated communities, the use of fluoride supplements during the first 6 years of life is associated with a significant increase in the risk of developing dental fluorosis, write researchers Ismail & Bandekar and first published in Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, February 1999, (3) but posted to the ADA's website July 2007.
Fluoride supplements sought to achieve a similar effect as fluoridation of the water supplies when it was believed that ingested fluoride reduced tooth decay. However, the Centers for Disease Control now reports that fluoride's purported beneficial effects are topical (4). Swallowing fluoride only exposes children to fluoride's adverse health effects ( http://www.FluorideAction.Net/health ), such as dental fluorosis.
"So there is no good reason to swallow fluoride via supplements or the water supply," says attorney Paul Beeber, President, New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc. "Further, fluoride is neither a nutrient nor required for healthy teeth. Poor diets decay teeth and fluoride won't stop that," says Beeber.
Even the American Dental Association admits that no fluoride supplements should be prescribed to children who aren't at high risk of cavities.
Studies link dental fluorosis to children's kidney damage (5) and bone fractures (6).
"While fluoride ingestion is proclaimed a significant cavity reducer, there is no valid science to support that," says Beeber.
Up to 48% of school children sport dental fluorosis, the outward sign of fluoride toxicity, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). (7) Yet tooth decay is growing in our most fluoride-exposed population - toddlers, according to CDC data.
In the Fall 1999 Journal of Public Health Dentistry, dental researcher and former dental journal editor Brian A. Burt, Ph.D., M.P.H., B.D.Sc., University of Michigan Emeritus Professor, writes:
"It is therefore concluded that the risks of using supplements in infants and young children outweigh the benefits. Because alternative forms of fluoride for high-risk individuals exist, fluoride supplements should no longer be used for young children in North America."(8)
Even fluoridated toothpaste hasn't been proven to prevent toddlers' cavities. According to the June 2009 JADA (9) Only one study shows 1,450 parts per million fluoridated toothpaste is effective in primary dentition; but 25 - 35% of the test subjects developed fluorosis although living in a non-water-fluoridated area of England. (10)
Doubts persist about fluoridation also: "It may...be that fluoridation of drinking water does not have a strong protective effect against early childhood caries (ECC) reported Pollick and colleagues in the Winter 2003 Journal of Public Health Dentistry.
Casamassimo and colleagues report in the June 2009 JADA that high levels of ECC persist despite water fluoridation and use of fluoridated toothpaste. (11)
A study in the Fall 2008 Journal of Public Health Dentistry reveals that cavity-free teeth have little to do with fluoride intake. Researchers report, "The benefits of fluoride are mostly topical…while fluorosis is clearly more dependent on fluoride intake."
"Fluoridation began with the untested belief that ingested fluoride prevented tooth decay in small children, only. Evidence-based-dentistry now shows that swallowing fluoride poses dental risks without benefits to the very children fluoridation was supposed to help," says Beeber. Fluoridation must be stopped immediately and parents and physicians must be notified of these new scientific developments."

Imagine an alternate reality where Mario is packing heat, Link looks like Wolverine and Halo games are all about strategy instead of shooting aliens in the face.
All those things were close to happening but were changed at some point, for better or for worse. You be the judge.
6Super Mario Bros. Was Almost a Shooting Game
The Game We Know:
If there's one thing Mario does well, it's stomping on shit. Even in his early games, jumping on or over things was always, well, pretty much the only thing he did. But that wasn't always the plan for our dear red-shirted plumber when he got his big NES debut.
Mario showed us how to cut corners. In honor of that, we're not writing a punchline.
But It Was Almost:
Mario was going to shoot the shit out of his enemies. Seriously. In some early design documents and test versions of Super Mario Bros., Mario was going to carry guns.
Oh, and he would also be able to punch and kick his enemies when he was empty-handed. Instead of stomping enemies' heads, he was gonna stomp their asses.
Turns out those Russian bootlegs had it right all along.
And yes, we said "guns," as in more than one: Mario was going to carry a "beam gun," which sounds kind of like what Samus uses in the Metroid games, but then he would also have a freaking rifle. Instead of fireballs, Mario was gonna roll like a gangster and spit out bullets.
"Is he ... is he whistling 'The Farmer in the Dell'?"
Some levels would even have Mario riding on a cloud and firing at enemies in what sounds a lot like the Mushroom Kingdom's version of a drive-by. Earlier in development, he was going to be "flying on a rocket," but clearly a cloud made more sense in that context.
Sweet revenge on that goddamn Lakitu.
Even the classic control scheme would have been different: Mario would jump by hitting the up arrow on the control pad, leaving the "A" button for attacks. All this changed when Nintendo decided to focus more on the jumping (and stomping) aspect, but some elements of these insane early versions did end up in the finished game. The guns became fire flowers, the cloud drive-bys eventually turned into bonus coin stages and Mario finally gained the ability to punch and kick enemies in Super Mario 64. Rifles can't be that far behind. After all, we got Super Mario Sunshine's water cannon ...
He can waterboard 50 Koopa Troopas a minute with this thing.
While it's probably for the best that they simplified the game, we can't help but wonder what a game starring a gritty, badass Mario would be like. He could even roam around an alternate world New York, with realistic Goombas and Koopas and ...
Oh wait.
5Mortal Kombat Was Almost Jean-Claude Van Damme: The Game
The Game We Know:
It really speaks for a game's content when punching the head off your opponent is considered tame in comparison to the rest of the shit you can do. But Mortal Kombat isn't just about the mindless violence -- OK, it's mainly about the mindless violence, but there were other things that set it apart from all other fighting games of its time. Like its rich mythology, dark sense of humor and extremely realistic graphics.
This is exactly what blood looks like when you drink nothing but Pepsi and "Pixy Stix tea."
But It Was Almost:
A game about Jean-Claude Van Damme. Seriously. Mortal Kombat was originally conceived as a vehicle for Van Damme in which he would fight a selection of digitized opponents -- like Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu with better graphics. However, the license to use Van Damme's name and likeness was apparently too expensive for Midway Games at the time ... so they started calling him "Johnny Cage."
"If we add a 15 percent Nicolas Cage to his face no one will notice."
Small snippets of Van Damme still remain in the game: Johnny Cage is modeled after Van Damme in the movie Bloodsport, including his signature shorts and, of course, that double groin punch.
It's called a double groin punch because it involves slamming his own against the floor.
However, not having to center the game on Van Damme also meant they were free to go crazy with the characters and the settings -- they kept the photorealistic look that presumably would have reminded people of a Van Damme movie, but used it to feature undead ninjas, lightning gods and cyborgs. There's also a pretty big chance that if the game had been associated with a Hollywood star, they might have been forced to tone down some of the most outrageous examples of violence to avoid controversy, or at least to avoid Van Damme having his spine ripped out of his body. So in addition to some pretty hilarious viral videos, you can probably thank Van Damme's ridiculous ego for the existence of fatalities.
This is how many careers in medical school got started.
So basically, the creation of one of the most influential games ever was governed by the fact that the company didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. This might explain why the controls were so simple (forcing developers to focus on special moves to differentiate the characters) and also why they reused the exact same character model for Sub-Zero and Scorpion, only changing the color.
The beginning of a noble tradition.
Mortal Kombat turned out to be a major arcade hit and went on to have one of the biggest console game launches of all time. And it could have all been lost if Van Damme was willing to sell out for less money.
He was waiting for a bigger fish, apparently.

November 30, 2011 —
The parent company of Marian Community Hospital announced plans to close the facility by February 23, 2012. Maxis Health System President and CEO Mary Theresa Vautrinot wrote in a press release that the Carbondale hospital has struggled to remain viable, sustaining multi-million dollar annual losses as the demand for services decreased.
"Within the last five years, we have invested $3.6 million in equipment, in technology and in new and enhanced services, Vautrinot said. "But we were not able to attract the critical mass of patients needed to sustain an inpatient acute care facility."
The hospital, which has served the area for 86 years and was licensed for 70 beds, scaled back to 35 beds in January 2010, hospital officials said. For the last six months, the hospital has had an average daily census of only 20 inpatients.
Efforts to find alternatives to closing the hospital were not successful according to their press release.
"With four full service, acute care hospitals within 20 miles of Marian Community Hospital and with a constantly decreasing number of people who rely on Marian for their inpatient health care needs, it is time to accept reality that the market no longer requires the inpatient services that our hospital provides," Vautrinot said.
Maxis Health System currently has 233 full-time and part-time employees.
"Members of the hospital's human resources team will be meeting with colleagues individually to review severance benefits, and help guide them through this difficult time," said Maria Diehl, hospital spokesperson. "Those who qualify will receive continuation of pay for a period of time during which health care coverage under the hospital plan will continue and will receive reimbursement for earned but unused paid time off."
"I am saddened to learn of the decision of the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) Congregation to close Marian Community Hospital," said Bishop Joseph C. Bambera, Bishop of Scranton.
"Under the guidance and leadership of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, residents of the greater Carbondale community have had access to acute health care provided by leaders and professionals committed to preserving the dignity and sanctity of human life while serving and healing others," he said.
The bishop who is a native of Carbondale said he was hoping that the 1992 consolidation of the former Carbondale Central and St. Joseph's Hospital that created Marian Community would endure well into the future.
"It is apparent that the present economic conditions in Northeastern Pennsylvania and beyond, combined with the current climate of health care in general continues to be our lived reality and has forced this most difficult conclusion," Bishop Bambera said.
The bishop asked the faithful of the diocese to join him in praying for their enduring strength and resolve and "for the continued provision of health care in our community that defends Catholic teaching."
"We're exploring how the facility could be a health wellness center where would be emergency services, minor surgery sites, doctors' offices and an array of other health care services," said the City of Carbondale Mayor Justin Taylor. "Already I've gotten some phone calls from some hospital to see if they can use the facility," he said.
The hospital is the largest employer in the area and health care was the largest industry cluster,
Health care is one of the fastest fields for employment in the nation, he said. "We're going to be aggressive in attracting health care providers of some kinds to come here," he said.

Julian Draxler has admitted a move to the Premier League or La Liga would by a dream come true for him, despite committing his future to Schalke.
The 19-year-old signed a new five-year contract with the Bundesliga club in May but with some of Europe's top clubs reportedly chasing his signature he has revealed he would find it hard to turn down a move.
Schalke finished fourth in the league last season, meaning they will be involved in the UEFA Champions League again, a competition Draxler impressed in as they won their group only to lose to Galatasaray in the Round of 16.
The Germany international made 36 appearances in total for Jens Keller's side, scoring 11 goals, and they moved quickly to tie him down to the club. However, he has admitted if reported interest from Manchester United and Chelsea were to be true he would be interested in a move.
"Which boy doesn't dream about playing for Real, Barca, Chelsea or Manchester United? That's nothing to be ashamed of," he told Sport1.
Draxler is expected to form part of Joachim Loew's World Cup squad for Brazil 2014, something that is potentially only going to generate more interest in him.
However, his agent, Roger Wittman, revealed that although he does have a minimum fee release clause only a club triggering that figure would even make the midfielder consider leaving.
"The player costs 45.5 million (euros), and he has to agree," he told Bild.
"These are the conditions of the transfer."

VIDEO: Lauren Carra and Seniors explain their feelings after Delaware's season-ending lossThe goal was to make it through Saturday's post-game press conference without crying. It almost happened.
But when Lauren Carra was posed a question about whether it's easier said than done to avoid tears after the 67-62 loss which ended the careers of 7 Blue Hens seniors, she could only muster the words "It definitely is. it's hard right now, but..."
Carra then put her head in a towel, clearly shaken by the moment. In classic "UD Hoopsquad fashion" Danielle Parker then proceeded to finish answering the question: "It's easier said than done."
It felt like the perfect summation of the most decorated group in University of Delaware Women's Basketball. For a group that has a lot of fun, clearly this basketball game meant a lot to them. You don't cry otherwise.
They also have each other's backs. Elena mentioned Friday during media day that her teammates were like "older sisters" because they always looked out for her. That status isn't just reserved from All-Americans.
Tina Martin said the brightest part of the season was "the character of my kids." I have some really talented kids. I look forward to walking on the practice floor every single day. They are kids of high character. These seven seniors are model citizens; everything you want in a student-athlete. I have a tremendous amount of pride now."
The accomplishments of his group could fill a best-selling novel.
First there are the team milestones: The back-to-back perfect 21-0 runs through the CAA. Victories over teams from the ACC, Big East, Big XII, A10, Big 10, and Conference USA. The first-ever NCAA Tournament victory against UALR last year in Little Rock. A school-record 31 wins last season, only to be eclipsed by 32 wins this season. Winning two tournament games including being part of the best atmosphere in Bob Carpenter Center when they defeated North Carolina last Tuesday.
Then the individual accolades: 3,039 points for Elena Delle Donne, 5th all-time in NCAA History. 1,000-plus points for Carra and Parker. 1,000 rebounds for Delle Donne and Parker.
Then the battles: Kayla Miller's recovery from back surgery for a herniated disk. Elena Delle Donne's battle with Lyme Disease. Parker's ACL injury during a practice in 2008. Mangled fingers on several players during this year's tournament run.
In the end they persevered, and most of the time they did it with huge smiles on their face. They will undoubtably go down as one of the most favorite teams, if not the most favorite, in Delaware history.
Elena said "I've met amazing teammates, great coaches, and friends who I will have for the rest of my life. This is awesome. We've made a lot of history for Delaware and made our fans really proud."
Of course, their stories aren't done. Miller already graduated with an exercise science major and Delle Donne in human services. Parker will graduate in sociology, Carra in history education, Chelsea Craig in exercise science, and Trumae Lucas in history.
Perhaps the first thing Trumae can story when she's finished at Delaware will be the history of what her team accomplished, which is something that no one in Blue Hen Nation will ever forget.
And crying about it being over is just fine.
