For this special bonus episode we are joined by three members of the WCGA judging issues committee to learn more about the new pilot program that is being used to evaluate college gymnastics judges this season called Scoreboard. This is a program that was created in 2023 by the WCGA Judging Issues Committee to help create a level-playing field of scores across the country, to strengthen integrity in the routine evaluation process, and to increase consistency in applications of deductions nationally. They also hope to provide policy and protocol for egregious scoring errors and provide a transparent, formalized postseason selection process through Scoreboard.  To help break it all down are three members of the WCGA Judging Issues committee: Bev Plocki is the co-chair of the committee and the head coach at the University of Michigan, where she's been for 36 years.  Kasey Crawford who is also co-chair of the committee and the head coach at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, where she has been for 9 years. She is also a certified USAG Level 10 judge. Amy Blee who is a committee member, assistant coach at Hamline University, and a former NCAA gymnastics judge. 

MAD DRUGGIST by Frank HozeskaOnce upon a time, there was a very kind, loving, generous, and caring man who did good works. Unfortunitely, the ungodly hypocrites in authority did not like his radical ways of counseling and made it very difficult for him to hold on to livelihood. All he wanted in this unprecedented, unheard of, crazy cruel spiritual journey is for someone to give him a break! The tumultuous pharmacy career finally catches up with louie, and no one is willing to give him another chance or a break. Louie ends up a washed-up pharmacist, and he's ready to give up his fight, until something crazy happens in the final round.I grew up in Burlington, Wisconsin, and I have a bachelor of science degree in pharmacy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and took prepharmacy courses at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I also have a bachelor's degree in health education (K-12) from the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse, I also played major varsity basketball at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater. After working in Wisconsin for five years, I decided to move to California for some adventure and some fun in the sun. As a hobby, I took up acting lessons and was cast in the play Italian American Reconcilation as the main character, Huey Maximilian Bonfigliano. I also did the open mike night comedy showcase in Hollywood and Los Angelesand I tried my hand in writing screenplays. It's a good thing I kept my day jobsince none of the other hobbies panned out.https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mad-druggist-frank-hozeska/1127031483 http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/121824fhamg.mp3

It's Tuesday, October 22nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 5 Nigerian guards saved village of 300 from deadly Fulani Muslims A civilian team of five guards saved a village of 300 in Plateau State, Nigeria last week from an attack by Fulanis, a fundamentalist Muslim sect. Four of the guards gave up their lives, and one survived the attack. The team's pipe guns apparently deterred further carnage.   According to the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa, the Fulani have been responsible for over 50,000 murders in the last four years. Plus, Truth Nigeria issued an early warning advisory to the villages before the attack occurred. TruthNigeria.com is a project of Equipping the Persecuted, dedicated to saving lives and providing help for one of the most dangerous and difficult areas in the world for Christians today. Support Equipping the Persecuted through a special link  in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.  Italy prohibits homosexual couple from adopting Last week, the Italian parliament voted to ban international surrogacy, disallowing homosexuals from purchasing children for their own use or abuse. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni backed the law, which added to the current prohibition on domestic surrogacy. Italy has banned all adoptions to “homosexual” men and women. Spain, France, Germany, and Sweden have also banned domestic surrogacy, the terrible practice of women renting out their own wombs.    The European Parliament voted in April of this year to include surrogate motherhood among the acts of human trafficking.  Kamala's anti-Christian hostility vs. J.D.'s affirmation of “Jesus as King” Two political rallies in Wisconsin over the weekend involved members of the audience calling out “Christ is King! Jesus is Lord,” reports Fox News. Listen to what the Christian yelled out followed by Kamala Harris' dismissive and hostile response at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. AUDIENCE MEMBER: “Christ is King. Jesus is Lord.” HARRIS: “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally! (cheers) No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” Later, at a Trump rally, a member of the audience called out again, “Jesus is King!” Listen carefully for the comment that “Jesus is King” right after Vance states that there is something bizarre with Kamala Harris' anti-Christian approach to public policy.    Then, take note of Vance's affirmation of that truth. VANCE: “There is something really bizarre with Kamala Harris's anti-Christian rhetoric and anti-Christian approach to public policy.” AUDIENCE MEMBER: “Jesus is King!” VANCE: “I don't think we've just, I don't think that we've That's right, Jesus is King. And I don't think that we've seen …” (cheers) Psalm 2:10-11 instructs the kings of the earth: “Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” Trump and Harris are running neck and neck As we approach the November presidential election, the polls have Donald Trump and Kamala Harris running neck and neck. The recent Suffolks University/USA Today poll puts the two candidates 50% to 49%, with Harris slightly ahead. The AtlasIntel poll puts Trump 3 points ahead.   The Trafalgar Group has Donald Trump ahead by 3% in Pennsylvania, ahead 2% in North Carolina, ahead by 1.5% in Arizona, ahead by 2% in Michigan, and behind by 1% in Nevada. And recent Newsweek and Redfield and Wilton polling has found that Americans are placing a pro-abortion position as high on their list as they approach the election.  In order of importance, Americans put the economy as the highest priority, abortion as the second highest, and immigration as the third highest priority. For Republican voters, abortion is the fourth most important issue, with only 21% choose this issue as high on their list. For Democrat voters, abortion is the most important issue, with 58% of likely voters calling this out as high on their list. Girl Scouts lost 1.5 million members over perversion push Membership in the Girl Scouts of America has dropped off to 1.5 million, down from 3.2 million in the 1970s. Practically speaking, this means they're losing money.   Consequently, the national council has recently voted to increase dues by 160% over the next three years. Last year, the American Girl Scout added a special edition Pride Patch for girls completing homosexual-themed activities during the Pride month of June, when homosexuals dedicate themselves to proud displays of their licentiousness. Romans 1:26 and 32 explains, “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” Copy of U.S. Constitution sells for $9 million And finally, a 1787 copy of the U.S. Constitution was sold for $9 million at an auction in North Carolina last Thursday.   The copy was found in a filing cabinet on a property previously owned by Samuel Johnston, governor of North Carolina between 1787 and 1789. This is the “the only located privately held, officially signed ratification copy of the United States Constitution.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, October 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Minnesota has the highest concentration of Korean adoptees of any state in the U.S. A new investigation by the Associated Press revealed widespread corruption in the Korean adoption system that has many adoptees questioning what they've been told about their past. The report found South Korea's government, Western countries and adoption agencies worked in tandem to supply some 200,000 Korean children to parents overseas, despite years of evidence they were being procured through questionable means. Sara Docan-Morgan is a professor of Communication Studies at University of Wisconsin - La Crosse and she thinks a lot about the complications that come with being adopted from Korea by an American family.This year she published a book called In Reunion: Transnational Korean Adoptees and the Communication of Family. She spoke with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer about it.

Ryan McKelley is a professor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. He is at the forefront of men's mental health research and education. McKelley's expertise in clinical psychology, adds valuable insights to discussions on masculinity. His coaching focuses on men's emotional well-being. In this episode of the Men's Therapy podcast, host Marc Azoulay explores McKelley's journey. He shares McKelley's insights on modern masculinity. McKelley's personal story highlights the challenges many men encounter with masculinity. His experience reflects the complexities of these struggles. As he grew up, he experienced both traditionally masculine and feminine activities. Despite this, he felt pressure to conform to certain ideals. The expectations around him shaped his view of masculinity. He focuses on internal gender roles. Ryan says, "I was an athlete, but I wasn't in like the team baseball or football or basketball," he shares. "I think I was always even aware that those weren't even kind of as masculine sports go." McKelley became aware of gender expectations early in life. His struggles with depression deepened this awareness. These experiences motivated him to research men's mental health. "I suffered a pretty significant depressive episode in seventh grade," he reveals, "and probably about every 10 years... I would have benefited from seeking help." Unpacking Male Depression McKelley's research shows how men experience and express emotional distress. His work emphasizes the distinct challenges men face in dealing with their emotions. He explains, "Girls and women are socialized to internalize their mood symptoms... Men tend to externalize." This externalization can manifest as: Distraction through video games or overworking Substance use Irritability and anger Denial of emotional struggles "Nobody knew I was depressed," McKelley admits, reflecting on his own experiences. "I was a master at hiding it." This ability to mask depression is common among men. It often leads to a buildup of emotional distress that can have serious consequences. Challenges of Male Vulnerability McKelley focuses on the challenge many men have in showing vulnerability. He introduces the concept of the "male emotional funnel." He explains that societal expectations limit the emotions men feel comfortable expressing. "We all come to the world with a full range of human emotions," McKelley states. "And then through adolescent development, it's like a funnel at the end. There's only like a couple that we, society let them have." This restriction of emotional expression can lead to what McKelley calls "mask depression." Men become adept at hiding their emotional struggles, often at great personal cost. Redefining Masculinity McKelley advocates for a more flexible, or "malleable," approach to masculinity. He explains, "Masculinity has just gone in all these different directions... it changes based on all these different levers." This understanding allows for a more nuanced and compassionate view of men's experiences. He emphasizes the importance of teaching men mindfulness and self-compassion. He says, "Being able to experience physical sensations, thoughts, emotions, and then even our physical surroundings non-judgmentally and with curiosity." This approach can help men develop greater emotional intelligence and resilience. The Way Forward McKelley emphasizes the importance of a more compassionate approach to men's mental health. He argues that viewing emotional growth as bravery, not weakness, can encourage more men to improve themselves. "We need to figure out ways to develop that," he says. He refers to compassion and empathy for men's experiences. He advocates for teaching men self-compassion. This involves showing them how to apply self-kindness. And a sense of common humanity to themselves. "By doing this, men can better practice self-compassion," highlights McKelley. Conclusion Ryan McKelley's insights provide a guide for understanding the unique challenges men face today. His work helps address these issues. He promotes a flexible view of masculinity. He emphasizes emotional intelligence can improve men's mental health. Emphasizing self-compassion is also crucial. Together, these approaches create a healthier, more supportive environment for men's personal growth. About Ryan McKelley Dr. Ryan McKelley is a professor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Jeff Kessler, FACHE Allergy Choices This week I sit down with Jeff Kessler to discuss allergies and sublingual immune therapy. Jeff Kessler is a business leader and a thought leader in the allergy therapy space. His relevant backstory goes back to 1999 when he had the fortunate opportunity to work on a project to select and implement an Electronic Medical Record system for the Allergy Associates of La Crosse (AAOL) clinic in La Crosse WI. Fortuitously for his daughter who at the time suffered profoundly with allergies, asthma and eczema, this opportunity presented a new course of therapy that would eventually be taken for the entire family leading to allergic disease modification. Enthralled with the therapy and company, Jeff dedicated his career in the healthcare industry from that point on to the allergy treatment approach that he witnessed change thousands of lives including his families. The growing AAOL organization became linked to Allergychoices, an education company dedicated to teaching healthcare providers around the U.S. on the protocol (La Crosse Method - LCM) that had been perfected since 1970. Jeff has served as President of Allergychoices since its formation and its services have grown to help providers deliver immunotherapy using the LCM to their patients directly at the primary care level. Bringing together AAOL, the most advanced allergy immunotherapy clinic in the U.S. and Allergychoices, capable of delivering the benefits of disease modifying allergy immunotherapy to anyone, anywhere, the distinctive competencies of these companies continue to help hundreds of thousands of allergy sufferers of all types, including foods. Jeff earned a bachelors in science from the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse before he received his MBA in Strategic Planning from University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management in 1987.

The Republican National Convention kicks off today in Milwaukee, just two days after former President Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt. We'll hear about what organizers, participants and Milwaukeeans are thinking. Milwaukee police have recommended felony charges in the case of a man who died while being detained by security guards at the Hyatt Regency hotel. A faculty committee at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse has recommended firing former chancellor Joe Gow. And a set of policy plans for Trump's second term has become an issue in the 2024 election. Republicans say talk of "Project 2025" is overblown.

Family members of a man who died outside a Milwaukee hotel say the district attorney should bring charges against hotel security guards. The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse has a new chancellor. The school's last chancellor lost his job for producing porn videos online. And there's less than a week to go before the Republican National Convention kicks off in Milwaukee. Reporter Evan Casey talked with local businesses who question whether the event will have the promised economic impact.

(Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. This is episode number five of slime mold and the fifth thing I like about slime mold is how it reproduces. Some of you may be wondering where exactly do slime molds come from? Well, when a mommy slime mold and a daddy slime mold love each other very much…. No, no just kidding. Slime molds are delivered by a stork….Okay, it's out of my system. Now, seriously. Slime molds reproduce through spores. These spores can lay dormant in soil for many years. This is why it seems like slime molds arise out of nowhere. They were just tucked down into the soil waiting for the right time to grow. As we've discussed in previous episodes, that usually happens after a nice warm rainy season.  A general life cycle for slime mold follows a basic pattern. It begins with a stalk-like structure with a sporangium on top. Spores are held inside this sporangium and when they are mature and the environment is just right, the spores are released. The spores will germinate into an ameboid cell. These cells  enter into the feeding stage for a certain period of time. When the slime mold enters the mature stage it will begin preparing to fruit and you'll see young sporangium fruiting. Then we arrive back at the stalk-like structure where we began. This pattern holds true for both plasmodial and cellular slime molds with some slight differences. The life cycle of plasmodial slime molds includes two stages. When those perfect conditions happen the spores resting in the soil germinate and release small, motile cells. Two of these cells will get together and form a shapeless mass, the plasmodium. Which is, as we know, a multinucleate mass of protoplasm. This is the feeding and creeping stage of the organism.  The second stage is triggered by drying weather. If the plasmodium begins to dry out too quickly or is starved, it forms a survival structure called sclerotium. This is a hard-walled mass that will protect the cells within until environmental conditions improve. Inside, spores are created waiting for favorable weather to return. And when it does the plasmodial slime mold will be on the prowl again. Now, think back to that first slime mold episode with me. In that episode we learned that there is more than one kind of slime mold. We just discussed reproduction of plasmodial slime mold, so let's take a gander at cellular slime mold reproduction. Cellular slime molds reproduce in a similar manor as plasmodial slime mold with one major difference. Cellular slime molds remain individual cells with one nucleus.  The individual slime molds, also known as slime mold “slugs”, will crawl along substrate at 1 millimeter per hour leaving behind a trail of chemicals. These chemical trails will attract other slime mold slugs. When many of them finally come together they form a pseudoplasmodium. It's a pseudoplasmodium because the cells remain separate with their one nucleus a piece. As the slugs aggregate about one-third of them will come together to create a fruiting body. A fruiting body is a stalk-like structure with a sporangium on top filled with spores. When the weather is moist enough and at just the right temperature, the spores are released and cellular slime molds are released to start the cycle all over again. Once again slime mold is blowing my mind and I hope you feel the same way because reproduction is my fifth favorite thing about this amazing protist. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening.

Summary: Slime mold eats some pretty interesting stuff, but how it finds it's food is they really fascinating part. Join Kiersten as she talks about who slime mold eats.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes:  “Slime Molds” by Dr. Sharon M. Douglas, Department of Plant Pathology and Ecology, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. https://portal.ct.gov “Slime Mould,” by Thomas J.

(Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. On to number four, listeners, and we're talking diet. I'm learning so much researching this series and the fourth thing I like about slime mold is what it eats! Slime mold was thought to be a fungus for quite some time, so people were amazed to find out that it ingests it food, then digests. That doesn't sound so odd to me, since that's what I did with my breakfast this morning, but that's not how fungus does it. Fungus digests its food externally before absorbing it. So, this is what researchers expected when they looked at how slime mold eats. To say the least, they were surprised. Let's take a closer look at how slime mold eats. We're going to investigate how Myxomycota, the true slime molds, eat their food.  As a quick reminder, Myxomycota are the plasmodial slime molds. They exist as a plasmodium. A plasmodium is a blob of protoplasm without cell walls and only a cell membrane to keep everything together. (I see why this inspired a 1950s horror movie.) They are essentially an amoeba and amoebas eat their food well, like the Blob. They engulf their food and then digest it. By engulf I mean completely surround it with their amoeba body. This process is called pseudopodia. The definition of pseudopodia is a temporary protrusion of the surface of an amoeboid cell for movement and feeding. This is what slime mold does when it is preparing to eat. The next step is phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is the act of eating or damaging foreign components in cells. According to Science Direct phagocytosis is a universal cell function, which starts with the recognition and binding of a particle, generally in a receptor-dependent manner, and leads to its internalization and degradation. Sounds pretty complicated to me but, I guess it's essentially digestion. Some organisms may use it for other things besides digestion such as defending against invading pathogens, it is also important during development and in adulthood for normal turnover, remodeling, and disposal of tissues, but that's a whole other podcast. The important part of this definition is that this is the process that helps slime mold digest its food. Alright! We know how slime mold eats, let's look at what slime mold eats. Bacteria is a big favorite of slime mold, but they can also eat decaying leaves, decaying logs, yeasts, other protists, and poo.  Hey, somebody's gotta do it, right?! So far the diet and eating habits of slime molds don't seem too unusual compared to other creatures, expect for maybe the poo, but we're just getting to the really mind blowing part. First of all, slime mold can smell its food. I know what you're thinking, how can a blob of cells with no detectable olfactory system smell food? The answer is that they have olfactory receptors all over the cells connected into the amoeba. These receptors are similar to the receptors that mammals, including humans, have lining their nasal passages. I'll pause a moment while you let this information sink in… Hold on to your hat though, it's about to get even more amazing! Some mold actually shows preferences for food. That's right! If given the choice between two potential food sources they will chose the one that has the best nutritional value.  Ecologist and entomologist Tanya Latty has studied slime molds extensively and in her research she's discovered that slime molds make smart decisions about their nutritional needs. To be successful slime molds need sugars and proteins. In a laboratory setting, Latty and colleagues offered Physarum polycephalum, also know as the many-headed slime, 35 different recipes made of different ratios of the nutrients slime mold needs to survive. The slime mold chose to engulf the foods that offered the best balance of elements and avoided the recipes that would harm them or weren't worth the effort to ingest. You heard me correctly, they chose the food themselves. If nothing else blows your mind about slime mold, I just said a living entity that has no brain or any detectable ganglia is making a decision! Need another example? Latty also tested whether slime mold could make trade-offs between quality of food and risk. (I can't even believe I'm reporting this, it's so amazing!) The researchers set up an experiment where they put the preferred food under a bright light and less desirable food in the dark. Slime mold doesn't like bright light, so you'd expect it to stay in the dark and eat what it can get, right? But from what we've just learned you may be thinking it took the chance and ate the food in the light because it was worth the risk. The results were not this simple. What actually happened I that the slime mold only took the risk to enter the bright light to engulf the food if the food was fives times more nutritious than what was in the dark. That is crazy amazing! This entity that is a blob of simple cells kept together by a common wall is processing information from olfactory receptors and choosing to make a calculated trade-offs to ensure it's survival. Holy Cow!! Quoting from an article from PBS Nova Latty says, “If you're a basic system, you'd expect you always choose one. You have a simple rule that always works. If you're sophisticated, you get some information about quality of food and intensity of light and do some calculations to figure out if it's worth it.” End quote. Looks like slime mold is in the second category. Latty continues, “That implies some molds are able to process information between two different attributes of a food source, which seems pretty sophisticated thing for, well, mucus.” End quote. I have no words for this…it's truly amazing. Stick with me listeners because it only gets cooler from here. The diet and feeding behavior of slime mold is my fourth favorite thing about this mind-blowing creature.

Wisconsin La Crosse's Luke Schroeder came into the national meet as the top seed in both the 60m Hurdles and the 200m Dash, he left the meet on crutches. After suffering a heartbreaking fall in the hurdles preliminary road, Schroeder limped across the line, the rest of his championships in jeopardy. But La Crosse wanted to win, and they wanted to win big. So after a conversation with his coach, Schroeder warmed up for and ran the 200m dash prelims. Twenty one seconds of agony later, he had qualified through to Saturday's final. He limped off the track in obvious pain - a valiant effort but his weekend was surely over now. But on Saturday, after entering the Virginia Beach Sports Center on crutches, he cast them aside, and not only started the final, but finished fourth. He dove across the line, because slowing his own momentum was just too painful. Some moments transcend the simple act of winning and losing, this was one of those selfless moments we cherish in sport. Hear all about it from Luke himself, on this episode of D3 Glory Days.
