In a 'long shot' theory, physicists propose that the world's largest atom smasher could be used as a time machine to send a special kind of matter backward in time.

Could you even imagine the possibility of controlling time. Everything on earth evolves around time, from planning events, keeping an agenda, and even when to eat. The fact is time is like money, we spend it quick with much regret. I wouldn't know what to do if this became actually real, because life is precious a train thats never stopping. Controlling time would be a disgrace towards life and its purposes.

The researchers said "the method could be used to send messages to the past or the future." I think that they're right this is a long shot. Its just to much of a long shot, I don't think this will be perfected anytime soon.

Recently seven of the Mount Carmel Area Odyssey of the Mind teams went to Williamsport. Three out of the seven teams advanced to world. Odyssey of the Mind is a competition that anyone can compete in. The teams consist of five to seven people. This competition has two parts. The first is your long term problem. At the beginning of the season you pick a problem. There are five total. You then have to solve this problem within an eight minute skit and meet all of the regulations. The second part is spontaneous. The team enters a room with three judges. You can receive a hands-on problem, a hands-on verbal problem, or a verbal problem. Each problem varies on topics and you have a specific amount of time. You are also limited to how many times you may answer. Each of your teams received 1st or 2nd place at the state competition. They will be going to the University of Maryland where they will compete for a world title. Spontaneous and the long term problems are on separate days. Pin trading and shirt trading are only two of the many activities to do during their time there.

Hope u have a good time. Good luck and hope u win.

The first time in a lone time that our odyssey of the mind made it to worlds. Good luck and great job at worlds, Congratulations and i hope you win at worlds.

Reminder from a teacher that a test is a simple snapshot of what a child may be able to do.

A 62 year old hiker fell into a hole and was stuck there for 3 days. On May 14th the womans family had a reunion for the missing hiker and the family decided to go for a walk. On their walk they had found what they had been missing. On May 14th three days after the hiker was missing the family had found her.

Well for 62 years old thats good she's getting exrisce but too bad this happened to her.

It's amazing that the family actually found her. She's very lucky she made it out alive after being there for three days especially without having any food or water and the risk of wild animal attacks.

Iodine-131 was found in Colorado and Oregon by a monitor in Colorado. The trace amounts of radiation found is about 100,000 times less than the natural radiation we receive from the sun, so it really is no threat.

Two more states Oregon and Colorado join radiation problems with other western states. These radiation problems have spread about 5,000 miles away from Japan.

i feel really bad for all of the states and the family's that lost someone or something. This earth Quake really bad and the radiation was even worsted. I just hope everyone is ok

Student loans debt surpassed credit card debt for the first time ever in 2010. It is predicted that the debt will top a trillion dollars this year. In 2008 two-thirds of students who graduated with a bachelor's degree were in debt after school. The average amount of debt for students in college for the 2011 school year was $24,000. There have been many predictions that the debt will increase because of budget-slashing. Economists say "while debt may be a bad thing it is a healthy investment."

Gas prices jumped more than 11 cents over the past two weeks. The pace of higher pump prices has slowed and they may have peaked. The average gallon is just 23 cents off the all-time high of $4.1. They say the weakening of demand and slower rate of rise may keep it from hitting the all time average.

Gas prices have been on the rise for a while now. Surveys say the average cost of a gallon of gas in the United States two weeks ago was $3.76 but now it rose to $3.88. The prices in the past two weeks rose more than 11 cents. Publisher Trilby Lundberg says gas prices may be at their peak right now.

Wow if they keep going up like this its crazy noones going to have money to do anything anymore

Shamokin fire bureau will be holding it's annual banquet for firefighters. The honoring of firefighters started in 1911 and this year marks the 100th consecutive banquet

I think it is really good that they have an annual banquet to honor firefighters. They risk their life every time they go out to fight a fire and really are so brave. They deserved to be praised

Absolutely, Kayleen! Good point! We can make the world just a little better by thanking those that do great things and firefighters certainly qualify!

Mount Carmel Township is trying to ban selling, delivering, or buying synthetic drugs. They will be the first township with this ban but they want to see it happen. If it goes info effect, it will start April 20. After this date punishment by law will be put into place.

It is about time somebody does something about this ridiculous stuff that people are consuming into there body. People could really make a drug out of anything ya know what i mean?

Mount Carmel Township will be the first township with an ordinance banning synthetic marijuana. But what does this matter? No matter what they ban, there's always going to be the nest new thing out. People will keep finding ways to get around the bans, and the new laws. Its essentially pointless for all this to be happening. even though i do agree that the "fake pot" is a bad idea

16 year old girl from Arizona left voluntarily with a 19 year old man to Utah.

I think parents should keep track of their children more and this wont happend.

Nice job on looking at both sides, here, gang!

Another PA parent opts his child out of PSSA standardized testing as a measure of civil disobedience.  Word of caution:  This can very much hurt a school's Adequate Yearly Progress and ultimately the school may suffer.  But, what if this movement spread amongst parents?  What then?  Would the government take over the school?  Change is hard.

Powerful video of earthquake and tsunami in Japan

I think its awesome to see how countries come together at a time like this. This should make the United States feel better about themselves also. By helping others, it will give us a good impact and if we are in need of help someone will be there for us.

Absolutely, Kristen. It is very devastating, too, and unfortunate. Most people don't realize that it is in every country's best interest to do so. In this day and age, our economies are much more interdependent and like throwing a pebble into the pond, there will be some ripple effects that will surface within our own economy as a result of the Japanese events.

After almost 15 years the famous rock hard metal crashing loosers in high school now come back to fill a time in the slot of MTV.

I am really surprised to see this show coming back on air, although i do not find it to have any meaning, I would rather watch this than some of the other shows that are on MTV now.

That is awesome who doesn't like that show i don't know about anyone else though but i don't know how in the world that got back onto the air. I hope the creators made a lot of changes because if not it will be taken right back off the air ya know what i mean.

Police are looking for three people who took a donation jar from julf gas filled with $20

This is sad. That money could have been used to make a difference in someone sick and now it's being used for something not nearly important. People are just so inconsiderate.

That is just a shame how people could go and steal things, and to go and steal money that is for someone with cancer yet. I dont think some people have feelings. It is just wrong and uncaring to do something like that.

Ok i understand that we don't wanna start any more problems with terrorist but why wont Obama show us some pictures? I think the Navy Seals should be happy that they killed Bin Laden and release some pictures of him. I do believe that he is dead but i still have my doubts just because they wont show us some proof. If they would release the pictures to everyone then no one will doubt Obama. I think that it will make Obama look a lot better and its right in time since the elections are coming up next year.

Despite reports that seven state government workers held the winning $319 million ticket in the Mega Millions lottery, as of Sunday, no one had come forward to claim the prize

then were gonna run away forever just me and you bert

@Joe D. Sounds like an awesome plan! However, it is surely best reserved for informal, classroom conversation versus a professional, public forum such as this. :-) What could you have said Joe that could have added value to this post?

The FDA approved a drug used to help slow the spreading of cancer cells in stage 4 melanoma patients. The drug will soon be used for stage 3 patients. The drug has been used to increase the lifespan of users by at least 4 months.

Mmm... interesting. Thirteen years is an awful long time to wait for the release of a new drug attempting to combat such a devastating disease.
