It's Tuesday, June 11th, 2024 and welcome to this special edition of Hills Review. All week long we're hearing reflections from this year's graduates. The first story we'll hear today comes from Ayush Desai. For him, making the choice between art and music wasn't an easy one, but ultimately, the choice he made was the right one. This year's graduates were all freshmen when COVID interrupted everything. Here, Eleni Augoustiniatos reflects on how great it was to finally be able to participate in STEM clubs – in particular the Science Olympiad – once restrictions were lifted. In today's final segment, Meredith Bodie – a three season athlete – describes her love of playing soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and track in the spring. Join us again tomorrow, as we hear more from this year's graduating seniors.

The unauthorized visitor did not report to the front office and was found with the firearm during his removal from campus. Although there's no evidence of intent to use the gun, possessing firearms on school premises violates state law. The suspect, identified as a former Sequoyah student, wasn't named. Concurrently, first responders attended to a medical emergency on campus. Both incidents occurred outside buildings and didn't disrupt school activities. The Cherokee County School District underscores its commitment to safety and encourages reporting of concerns through its Vector Alert system. STORY 2: Woodstock Man Gets 30 Years in Prison for Child Molestation Romualdo De Pedraza, a Woodstock man, was sentenced to 30 years in prison followed by life probation for aggravated child molestation and cruelty to children. Following a four-day trial, a Cherokee County jury found him guilty. The charges arose from a Cherokee Sheriff's Office investigation prompted by a child under 10 disclosing sexual assault allegations against De Pedraza. A family member's 911 call initiated the investigation. The child provided details during a forensic interview at the Anna Crawford Children's Center. Prosecutors emphasized the importance of the interview in securing justice. District Attorney Susan Treadaway commended the center for providing a safe space for victims. STORY 3: Cherokee County Students Place in State Career and Tech Contest Two Cherokee County School District students achieved statewide recognition at Georgia's Career and Technical Instruction Competition. Creekview High School's junior Charlie Holderness secured first place for his advertising campaign "Hypeman Holderness."

I was recently reading the September-October, 2023 issue of “Connected Science Learning,” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.  In this issue, I read the article “40 Years of Inspiring Students to Explore STEM: What has Science Olympiad Learned?”  It was written by John F. Loehr and Jenny Kopach. In May 2024, Science Olympiad will celebrate the 40th Annual Science Olympiad National Tournament at Michigan State University.  The Olympiad has been successful over these 40 years because it has demonstrated the following four factors: Recognition - Students' work and efforts are displayed and recognized in a very public fashion. Personal Choice - Students have the autonomy to decide how they want to be involved in the program. Peer and Professional Networks - Students' passion and interest in topics is recognized and celebrated by both their peers and STEM professionals. Responsiveness - The 23-event structure gives Science Olympiad the flexibility to adapt to changing interests, circumstances, and needs.

Subscribe to Receive Venkat's Weekly Newsletter Daniel took all the AP Classes his High School offered. He loved AP US History. He was also very active in the Science Olympiad and really enjoyed it because it involved building things. He was also fortunate to have been in a high school where there was a class dedicated to doing research. It was here that Daniel cut his teeth in research, and got his hands dirty doing Battery technology. Daniel joins our podcast to share his undergraduate college journey at UIUC, Battery Research, Winning the Goldwater Scholarship, Summer Internships, and Advice for High Schoolers. In particular, we discuss the following with him:  UIUC Experience UG Research - Battery Research The Goldwater Scholarship Advice to High Schoolers Topics discussed in this episode: Introduction to Daniel Cudzich, UIUC [] Hi Fives - Podcast Highlights [] Overall UIUCExperience [] Why UIUC?

Memorable Quote: “And this goes to one of the things that I really want to emphasize about the research process and it's that you will fail. You quite literally are doing things that nobody else has ever done. But there's so much value in that even if what you learned from the research project is what not to do, right. ” Daniel Cudzich.

(Fremont County, WY) - Riverton Middle School students have had a long history of performing well in science. And the 2023 school year was no different. Teacher Sarah Fanning's Science Olympiad group took first place at this month's state competition in Casper. The championship provided RMS an invitation to the national contest in May. 15 Spartans are hoping to travel to Wichita, Kansas May 19-20 where they'll compete against other state champions from around the country in 23 different events. The competition ranges from building things to test taking. Fanning explained that these 12 and 13-year-olds are working at high school and college levels. As is the case with travel, especially for 15 students, there are costs involved. To help offset some of the financial burden, RMS has organized a raffle opportunity. A couple of lucky winners can get their hands on either a Yeti cooler or a new chainsaw. Tickets can be purchased by coordinating with a Science Olympiad student, contacting Riverton Middle School, (307) 856-9443 or e-mailing Sarah Fanning: sfanning@fremont25.org Sarah joined KOVE's Today in the 10 Radio Show this week to tell us more about the opportunity! Listen in the player below, or subscribe to the County 10 Podcast.

Starting a new series on this podcast based on the specific experiences and lessons I gained from my childhood- kind of like a run through of my common app? Haha.I discuss one of the main influences on my journey in science, the questions of self-doubt competition can have on you growing up and to not take people's decisions too personally.

In the S2 finale of the PRP, Adam welcomes back first time ultra marathoner, ardent PhD candidate, passionate nature connoisseur and proud PRP alumni Evan Romero who has been training for the Red River Gorge 50K on December 3rd, 2022. The lads kick off the finale with some insight, fun facts and reflections on PRP Season 2. From one-mile time trials to 250+ mile races and everything in between, one thing is certain, it's been one helluva ride! Evan enlightens the PRP listenership on his current professional pursuits and shares details about why the next year of his life will be one of major transition. Taylor Witt, on again off again runner, mechanical engineer extraordinaire, aspiring musician and proud new cat daddy joins the show to offer his stoic and witty take on both life and running. Taylor sheds light on his personal history with running and provides details about his current relationship with the sport. If there is one thing his journey has taught him, it's that running can do what you want it to do, and be what you want it to be. Don't let someone else's opinion or vision of running dictate what you make of it. Make it your own. Things get vulnerable when the boys go all in on advice surrounding runners and our collective relationships with the sport. Be sure to check yourself and ensure that you're running for enjoyment and not putting too much self-inflicted pressure on yourself. Leverage running as a mechanism to better yourself on a spiritual level and take advantage of the wonderful opportunity it provides you with to nurture relationships with other wonderful humans. That's it. If running doesn't make you happy and you're not enjoying it, don't do it. And guess what? That's completely fine! There are copious other forms of movement that are accessible and available for exploration. Is running really just a big metaphor for life? Science Olympiad?! Garden Gang, say whaa? Tostones?! Wait... did Taylor design a custom speaker for WuTang?! Yikes, we unintentional daddy'in? Ummm, how many times up and out da gorge?! Organic Chemistry?! Biocatalysis?! What is the meaning of life?! Arm wrestlin for the Romero toilet?! Triple deucer??? All of this and likely more than you're interested in listening to in this hilarious, crass and heartfelt episode of the PRP.

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next episode of... Product Mastery Now with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode:  Three years ago I was looking for a wifi camera I could put in our RV so I could check on our dog when we needed to leave her in the motorhome. The leading brand cost about $150. I tried a brand that was new to me offering a wifi camera for $29. It worked great with the cloud features I expected. This year I was looking for a robotic vacuum cleaner for our house. The highly rated and recognized brand was about $800. I went back to the company I got the camera from and learned they also had a robotic vacuum, complete with LIDAR, which I got on a Cyber Monday sale for $200.  I wanted to learn how this company creates competitive products, differentiating on cost while offering comparative capabilities that equate to much higher value for customers. Today, we get to find out together as the VP of Product for Wyze joins us. His name is Steve McIrvin and we met a few years as we both had kids competing in Science Olympiad. Before joining Wyze, Steve was last at Amazon.

Paulette attended and received both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Redlands in Communicative Disorders as well as a California Lifetime Teaching Credential. She has worked in public schools as a teacher and later as a speech therapist.She is a huge believer that all children deserve a quality education. For years, she has been actively involved both professionally and as a volunteer in public education. Being a mother of two young men who attended public schools and she has been an active volunteer with the PTSA groups and in the classrooms. She was also awarded the Above & Beyond Award from the Fullerton School District for her work with children. Her involvement with Science Olympiad, All the Arts for All the Kids, First Five Orange County, and Legislative Advocacy Groups has given her insight into best practices for quality education. Sound fiscal management is a top priority for quality education. It is vital to ensure that all children benefit from an education system that puts the children's needs first. Children are our future and educating our children is of the utmost importance.

STEM Day is celebrated every year on November 8, to encourage kids to explore their interests in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and math. As an engineering firm, McGill is proud to employ STEM-educated workers. There were nearly 10.8 million workers in STEM occupations in 2019, however the number of STEM vacancies continues to remain higher than the number of actual candidates for many areas of the country. At McGill, we are celebrating STEM Day by speaking with Ian Riddell, the STEM facilitator for grades PK-8 at Carolina Day School, in Asheville, North Carolina, about what he believes are the most important things to teach young people to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. Ian has crafted a STEM workshop at Carolina Day School that includes hand-tools, scientific equipment, Legos, computers, and much more. His passion for challenging students to think critically about science and mathematics through hands on experiences leads him to develop programming that inspires curiosity and confidence in young people and will likely result in increased numbers of workers in STEM occupations in the years to come.

Jordyn Famimiko is a graduate of Raisbeck Aviation High School in Tukwila, WA. She strives to be a compassionate student-leader with a strong sense of civic responsibility. She inspires others to spread positivity and is looking to evoke change! Jordyn has been very active throughout her high school career. As a 2018 Teens in Public Service Intern, she assisted the Renton Skyway Boys and Girls Club with their FIRST Robotics program and mentored school-aged children. Jordyn has been a leader within the National Honor Society, Science Olympiad, Association of Student Body, and Link Crew, a freshmen onboarding program; however, much of her time at Raisbeck was dedicated to developing the school's culture. Ultimately, she hoped to effect lasting change so that future students may inherit a more equitable academic environment. Jordyn has been a member of the Black Student Union for four years and served as president. As president, she has been able to initiate vital conversations within the academic community, creating a space where students feel respected, heard, and safe. She has met monthly with Raisbeck Aviation principal, Mrs. Therese Tipton, and members of the PTSA to discuss inclusive policy and educational equity, establishing a lasting line of communication between students and staff as well as ensuring that race and equity are prioritized. Jordyn is also co-founder of the Highline Youth Race and Equity Coalition (HYREC), a group dedicated to acting on behalf of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) throughout the Highline Public School District. HYREC has collaborated with the district superintendent, leaders within the district's human resources department, and administration from each of the six high schools within the district. The coalition's primary goal is to implement students of color into the staff hiring process. In addition to advocating for student voices, the group has also advocated for a district-wide Technology Levy that would allow for new technology updates for all schools. This past May, HYREC launched a $1,000 scholarship in collaboration with the Burien Youth Council for underrepresented students within the district. Jordyn also enjoys public speaking. She has spoken on several occasions, her most recent engagement is a presentation on the importance of STEM education for young women of color at the National Consortium of Secondary STEM Schools 2020 professional conference. In her spare time, Jordyn enjoys crocheting and crafting. Jordyn will attend Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in the fall to study pharmacy. Her hope is that her pharmacy degree will not only allow her to serve her community but also make an impact on racial equity in medicine overall.

Libby Bigelow, her husband Ryan, and pup Canyon are fond of outdoor adventures and enjoy taking road trips and camping overnight in their Subaru. Could this be the secret to her CRUSHING a 2:43 at Grandma’s Marathon and punching her OTQ ticket to Atlanta for the Women’s Marathon Trials? Think driving 17 hours to ATL might tire you out before the biggest race of your life? No chance. Libby came in seeded 299th and placed 134th, rocking a 2:45 on a super tough course with crazy winds, in front of family and friends who traveled to cheer her on! We discussed: -Growing up fully immersed in musical theater, Science Olympiad, soccer, French Horn—just to name a few of her interests -The impact her high school cross country coach, Kathy Hector, and college coach, Karen Lutzke, had on her development -How she would bike with her dad on his runs and the spark was lit -Running her first sub-3 with Ryan, together in Seattle, and how he encouraged her to go for an OTQ -Calling her college coach, Karen Lutzke, from an airplane and received message back saying, "I hope you’re calling to map out an OTQ plan" -A Family Affair—her Grandma’s Marathon experience -ATLANTA—We deep-dive on the race and the rock star weekend experience -Her training approach—fueling, mantras, and more -Community, coaching cross country, and paying it forward Libby warned me she liked to ramble, but her stories were so FUN, and packed with inspiration and lessons learned, so I had to allow her as much runway as possible. Queue this up for a long run, or two, because so much will resonate, inspire, and make you smile. I hope you all enjoy this convo as much as we did!

We revisit the triumphant state championship of the 1997-1998 Park High School Science Olympiad Team - an impressive victory which qualified them to compete in the National Science Olympiad. This archival interview features their faculty advisor, Barb Salvo - and three of the students on the team: Nick Barootian, Amanda Schneider, and Jeremiah James, talking about their improbable victory over schools from much wealthier schools - as well as the various events that comprised the Science Olympiad.

This week we're mixing it up, talking about an author more than a specific book -- the Queen of Dirty Talk herself, Tessa Bailey. But we're not just talking about the sexybits -- we're also talking about working class heroes, women and worry and how awesome it is to watch authors evolve.We love having you with us! — subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform and like/review the podcast if you’re so inclined!In two weeks, we’re reading a book that blooded both Sarah and Jen — and approximately 50% of Romancelandia, we think -- Stephanie Laurens's Devil's Bride, starring Devil Cynster, who also happens to be the only romance hero Sarah's husband can name (yes, even now). Find it at: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, or your local indie.Full Show Notes @ FATEDMATES.NET- Sarah was heading to Birmingham for the Southern Voices Book Festival. The last time she was there, it was when she was a kid going to a Science Olympiad competition. Based on the description of that event, Jen suspects that she was outside orienteering. She's going to see Rachel Hawkins and Naima Simone!- Meanwhile, Jen went to see Bug by Tracy Letts at the Steppenwolf Theater, which is known for being the home theater of John Malkovich and also where hope goes to die.- Jen wrote about Johanna Lindsey and her New York Times obituary in a column for Kirkus.- The hero of Protecting What's His is Derek Tyler, which is Jen's second favorite romance Derek. Derek and Ginger also appear in a follow-up novella, Protecting What's Theirs. Derek also appears as a secondary character in the Crossing the Lines series, where he assembles a team of ex-cons and misfits as a special crime fighting team. Ginger's sister gets her own book in Unfixable.- The rise of eBooks made room for indie publishing and small presses like Entangled. Here's the story of how Barabara Freethy took advantage of the Kindle revolution.- Enemies to Lovers is one of the most beloved romance tropes. Jen is going to talk about her whole energy theory in an upcoming Kirkus column.- This is a romance that deals with class in an unusual way--she's the poor little rich girl, while he's working two jobs because of family obligations to his siblings.- Tessa Bailey is the Queen of Dirty Talk. She just is. Jen's favorite is Duke from Worked Up, who is a perfect grunting hero.- Jen noticed that several motifs that appear in Asking for Trouble appear in other books -- for example, there is a trip to Atlantic City in Worked Up, and connecting doors in a hotel room in Driven by Fate.- Sarah identifies "heroine as rock" as part of Tessa Bailey's core story, Jen noticed the pull between familial duty and individual needs. At first Sarah thought Tessa's most recent book, Love Her or Lose Her, doesn't fit into the core story...but after talking it through, she thinks it fits perfectly.- Sarah mentioned the one with a hero who is a recovering alcoholic called Indecent Exposure. Jen also loved it and reviewed it for The Book Queen.- Some advice in case you ever need to stop a wedding.- But buttons and stickers from Kelly at Jen's shop and the newly available full line of t-shirts from Jordandene.- Listen to this week's music selections and peruse this episode's transcript.- Next time on Fated Mates, we'll be reading Devil's Bride by Stephanie Laurens.

https://youtu.be/A6xDjVXJFG0   Ok, if you never read another bio, please read this one. Janice Marie is out of her mind with awesomeness. She was on episode number #14 of the podcast way back in the day and I honestly hope that she is on about a dozen more. I had a work commitment which caused me to cut the podcast short, otherwise, we would still be talking. This is really a great episode. Below is Janice Marie Ferguson: Hi! Here are some things about me: Janice Marie Ferguson, you can call me Janice. I like Janice Marie, that's what my family calls me, as I'm named after an aunt. I really didn't like to be called just Janice after she died, because that's what a lot of my family called her, and it felt weird for people to call me that, but Janice Marie is a lot to say for regular people, and she passed in 2004. So, I'm better about it now, and I've all but given up on the whole Janice Marie thing for regular people who don't know my family.-Born and raised in Biloxi, Mississippi, but lived in Texas, my favorite state, for six years. -We have goats, cows, chickens, European hogs, just a regular Old MacDonald farm. My husband does most of the work keeping up our animals. We live in the same property with my parents, where I grew up. My kids loved living next to their grandparents. I have the best parents in the world! -Broke the Mississippi high school state record in the indoor mile when I was in 10th grade in high school. Then, got on a bad path and never ran track again after my sophomore year. :(  But, look at me now! Spent my entire 30's trying to make up for that failure to launch phase of 16-20 years old. -Baylor University graduate (BA in Journalism) It took me 6 years to graduate from college. I was a non-traditional student, married with two children and commuted an hour to school, after dropping my kids off for school every day! -42 years old (Unlike most Southern women I know, I don't care if people know how old I am.) -I have had a lot of jobs over my last 30 years: lifeguard, amusement park employee/ride operator, golf course attendant, concession stand worker and cotton candy maker, video arcade attendant, cashier and cook in a small country store, like the kind you see in the movies where the locals can still have store tabs and all the men of the community come for breakfast and lunch. I've actually worked in two of those. I was a veterinary technician, worked at a riding stable, as a telemarketer, worked at K-Mart, was a sales clerk at a western wear store, worked in a glass repair and installation shop, worked in a cabinet shop finishing cabinets, was a Miss Teen USA beauty pageant director, waitress in several restaurants, Relay for Life PR chairperson, cocktail waitress in a casino, non-profit association membership coordinator and national conference trade show organizer, military wife, worked as a freelance journalist--specializing in feature stories, residential remodeling construction, banquet captain at the Beau Rivage executing the details and event orders for up to 1,000-person sit down plated dinners, conference coordinator/event services at the Beau Rivage, high school cross country coach, basketball booster club president, science teacher, Science Olympiad coach, classroom teacher, President and CEO of the Garage Games (I don't even know if they are still around?), cross country coach, basketball booster club president, and a gym owner. Being a gym owner is the thing I've stuck to the longest. My gym has been open since 2013. I started in my back yard in 2011 with a boot camp, moved to a public park, then a 900 sq foot storage unit by 2013. Now, we have a 6000 square foot full fledged facility, a nutrition coaching business alongside our CrossFit and six amazing coaches. I make seven. -I wanted to be a horse trainer when I was a kid! Never did do that. But, I'm not dead yet. One of my members is a horse chiropractor, and that sounds very interesting!

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-380 – Lori – Coma to Boston  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4380.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-380, This is Chris your host.  It is well into January and I lied.  I am going to run the Derry road race this weekend.  I wasn’t going to because coach gets so made when I race instead of following my training plan, but Derry coincided with a long training run.  I promised to actually run the training run on the Derry course and not race.  Today we are talking with Lori who has a wonderful, compelling story that I am grateful to be able to share with you.  The audio quality of the interview was a bit poor and I had to clean up a lot of noise, so apologies for the hum and fade in places.  But the story is great and should transcend the constraints of the medium.  In section one I’ll talk about overlapping different types of training plans.  In section two I’ll share, with permission, a response I wrote to a listener seeking advice on presentation skills.  My training is going fine.  I’m starting to build up my volume for Boston.  It’s less than 3 months away so I’m sure I’ll be getting into some longer quality work in the coming weeks. The 30 Day Diet Reboot went well.  I dropped about 10 pounds and I feel much fitter.  You don’t realize how much difference it makes until you get back to race weight.  Eating clean just makes everything easier.  I continue to put long hours in and commute to the city.  It’s difficult to find the time, and more importantly the space to write and record.  I hate pushing it to the weekends because I have other stuff to do.  It makes me feel rushed and less creative.  Like I said I get up early, take the train in and usually do my workout before all before 8:00 AM.   As my volume starts to increase this means getting out to the Charles River path before 7:00AM – which is just when dawn is breaking.  I’m doing better.  I haven’t forgotten anything or put any clothes on backwards for weeks. Friday morning I did my hill workout on the treadmill in the gym.  I’m still figuring out the treadmills.  I can’t figure out how to program it to do what I want so I have to manually adjust the speed and incline between reps.  It’s tricky because you have to hold down two buttons at the same time.  When I was transitioning into my 3rd rep the button got stuck and went to 30% incline and wouldn’t stop.  I had to jump off and reset the whole workout.  That was a bit exciting.  I also discovered that these treadmills decline, at least 3%, which I’ll have to play with. That might come in handy for Boston training. Remember, this is my 20th Boston.  I asked people what I should do to recognize that and one of the suggestions I liked was to design a special shirt with 20 unicorns on it.  Maybe a unicorn party! … I was listening to an author speak this week about moments.  They were talking about how many of the iconic moments in our lives were created, scripted if you will, by someone.  Birthday celebrations have a script of gifts and cake and candles.  Graduations, weddings, funerals, all these events don’t just happen, they are, were, designed for the social impact that they have.  The author talked about the Olympic medal ceremony, how someone had to make that up.  It’s essentially a little story, a vignette designed for a purpose.  These vignettes create a message, a sticky emotional story that stays with us.  That’s the purpose of the moment.  So, when you look at your daily lfe and the good people who share it with you what are those moments?  How can you write your own scripts?  How can you make the vignette of hugging your child have the import of an Olympic medal ceremony? On with the show.     … I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

Links are in the show notes and at RunRunLive.com … Section one – Transitioning from one type of training to another -   Voices of reason – the conversation Lori Riggles– Teacher and Survivor Here are a  few links, my bio, and picture. The picture was the moment I saw my daughter during the Boston Marathon 2017. Teaching is a rewarding experience, which I have dedicated 25 years to.  I teach so that I can expose the infinite possibilities to achieve success to each child that I come in contact with.  I have dedicated my life to inspiring children to help others through charitable causes, service projects, and empathy. My relationship with running began when I was a child going through many of my own challenges. Running became an outlet that truly saved me and made me the person I am today. Born in Oklahoma, I discovered running while living in Wyoming as teen. I currently live in Alabama with my husband and three children. My interests include reading, writing, coaching Science Olympiad, playing the flute, and being active. It has always been my mission to help others, I am currently writing a book of my experiences to encourage others to overcome their own personal obstacles.  My goal is to use the challenges that I have faced to help others. If what I have been through can help one person, then that is what is truly important. My future goal is to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I aspire to reach goals beyond what anyone thought would be possible. Lori Section two – On Story Telling – A letter - Outro Ok my friends you have worked your way from the coma of consciousness to the hard fought glory of triumph through to the end of episode 4-380 of the RunRunLive podcast.  Congratulations, we did it again. Nothing radically new for me coming up.  I’ll use Derry as a training run tomorrow.  I’ll keep working hard everyday to meet my life goals and I’ll keep telling stories and smiling.  It’s pretty simple.  I used to think life was complex and hard.  But it aint.  You just keep picking them up and putting them down and smile while you’re doing it.  Life will take care of itself.  I think Lori’s message is a great one.  We are not struggling and striving and overcoming just for ourselves.  We are doing it for others.  If we are doing it honestly, selflessly and with gratitude we are creating a clearing for others.  We are creating a clearing in the forest of fear; of don’t and can’t – a clearing of can do and a clearing of potential and a clearing of possibility.  This is the life of abundance.  The more you give the more you receive.  I’m going to keep it short.  I’m a bit exhausted today.  But I am grateful.  Grateful for you.  Grateful for the gifts I’ve been given.  Grateful to have a curious and active mind.  Grateful for the gift of physical capability and grateful for my choice to use it. Like I said to Lori.  Studies show that this practice of gratefulness makes the same physical changes to your brain that meditation or prayer does.  Who knows, maybe my gratitude creates a positive ripple in the pond of universal consciousness. It’s been a pleasure and a gift to talk to you today.  What can you contribute?  What can you be grateful for?  Surely you have gifts that you can share with us? I’ll see you out there.   MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

http://wright.edu/news Over 400 Wright State volunteers helped make the 33rd annual National Science Olympiad Tournament a huge success. When the first busses arrived on May 18 until they left on May 21, volunteers checked in participates, passed out meals, organized events and prepared the opening and closing ceremonies at the Wright State Nutter Center. “Planning for this actually started 18 months ago. We’ve been working tirelessly ever since in order to try to make the tournament as successful as it is,” said Eric Rowley, the volunteer coordinator for the Wright State. Science Olympiad tests middle and high school students’ ability to solve physics, engineering, math, biology and anatomy problems in complex hands-on and lab events. About 2,000 middle and high school students battled it out during the national tournament in intensely competitive science and engineering projects — from Robot Arm and Hovercraft to Microbe Mission and Food Science. The students, educators and parents from all 50 states totaled more than 5,000 — pumping an estimated $1.7 million into the local economy.
