Western Oregon senior Sara Tucholsky had never hit a home run in her career. Central Washington senior Mallory Holtman was already her school's career leader in them. But when a twist of fate and a torn knee ligament brought them face to face with each other and face to face with the end of their playing days, they combined on a home run trot that celebrated the collective human spirit far more than individual athletic achievement.

The story of Airborne - a popular supplement marketed as an “herbal health formula that boosts your immune system to help your body combat germs” - is representative of what is wrong with the supplement industry and how it is regulated in the US. Recently the company that sells Airborne - Airborne Health, Inc - agreed to pay $23.3 million to refund consumers who purchased the product (if they have proof of purchase). This was to settle a class-action law suit brought by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and others claiming false advertising. In the settlement the company did not admit any wrongdoing. While this can be viewed as a minor victory for science-based medicine, it actually highlights the many deficiencies in the system.

The Singing Revolution documents how the people of Estonia led a peaceful revolt against Soviet oppression, using a centuries-old tradition of folk music and a quadrennial national song festival as a powerful means of subverting Moscow's tyranny. Upon its freedom in 1991 and under the direction of libertarian Prime Minister Mart Laar, Estonia rapidly became one of the most economically and politically free countries in the world.

Sean T. Collins of Attention Deficit Disorder has created a presidential milkshake list that tells you all you need to know about the candidates. Here are a few" I drink your milkshake, even though I opposed drinking your milkshake four years ago. -- Mitt Romney I drink your milkshake, but only if the Bible says it's allowed. -- Mike Huckabee I may drink your milkshake for another 100 years, if that's what it takes. -- John McCain I drank a milkshake on 9/11. -- Rudy Giuliani I drink your milkshake, but I'm paying for it with gold. -- Ron Paul I will fight the corporations so that you can drink your own milkshake. -- John Edwards I have 35 years of milkshake-drinking experience. *sob* -- Hillary Clinton I peacefully drink your milkshake. -- Dennis Kucinich Link

You have to watch this video. It shows Tom Cruise, with all the wide-eyed fervor that he brings to the promotion of a movie, making the argument for Scientology, the bizarre 20th-century religion. Making the argument is an understatement. The Hollywood actor, star of movies such as Mission Impossible, is a complete fanatic. "When you're a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one who can really help... We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures." There's much much more. Let me put it this way: if Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 10.
