It was one of our school directors who taught me this phrase, but I've used it ever since: With our healthy online school lunch service, we want children to eat foods from across the rainbow.
What do we mean by "rainbow food"? Not this, although I admit they're all very pretty, and when my daughter was younger she'd have loved them all. We mean natural fresh foods of different colors. Red peppers! Orange wedges! Pineapple slices! Edamame! Broccoli! (All of which are available as your choice of the side included with any Smart Lunches meal.)
It's a great short-hand rule for kids and adults both, because ensuring a diversity of colors in consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables does end up providing diversity in nutrients, too. Here's what United Healthcare's doctors have to say about the rainbow diet:
Eating the full rainbow of foods regularly helps give your body the nutrients it needs. In addition to fiber, vitamins and minerals, naturally colored foods contain what are known as phytochemicals. These powerful nutrients are the disease-fighting substances that also give fruits and vegetables their array of colors. Research has shown that eating a variety of these nutrients can work together to:
- Strengthen your immune system
- Lower your risk for certain cancers
- Help ward off type 2 diabetes
- Reduce high blood pressure
- Prevent some eye diseases
- Maintain urinary tract health
- Maintain heart health
- Improve memory
- Help build strong bones and teeth
Here's a great website about rainbow eating for kids, with lots of useful ideas. Meanwhile, it's not just our sides of the day that bring your luncher the rainbow. Check out two upcoming yummy new menu items, Spinach and Tomato Mac and Cheese (three colors), and Chicken and Veggie Quesadilla (four!).

Easy peasy gift wrapping and fat quarter give aways!
Anyone who knows me knows I am not a patient sewist, paying attention to every little detail, making meticulous items. I'm a bit of the opposite, actually. I like quick projects, easy gratification. So when I've needed to wrap some gifts lately, I've done up some quick bags and "ribbon" with fat quarters and torn strips.
A while back we had fat quarter bundles of a complete Anna Maria Horner line and I am so glad I decided to pick one of them up for myself. I love perusing the pieces, choosing one I think the recipient will particularly enjoy. Then, zip, zip, zip, sew three sides up, run a quick rolled hem around the top and I have a bag. I make the simplest and most rustic of trims by snipping and tearing a narrow strip of fabric to coordinate. The shot cottons are fun to do this with because the warp and weft threads are often different colors and that shows well when it's torn.
To encourage all of you to wrap in fabric this year, we are offering a couple of sweet deals. You will receive a free fat quarter with a purchase of $50 or more and all fat quarters will be 15% off. This great fat quarter extravaganza will run through the entire month of December.

More than a few years ago, I Guest-Starred on a little show called Love, Inc. starring Holly Robinson-Peete and produced by Chris Rock. His oldest daughter was a little nugget at the time and Rock brought her on set with him for the Producers run-through. She was adorable and for some reason smitten with me. So we hung out for a minute and then Daddy Rock scooped her up to move forward to their next travel adventure for the day.
My Mom, knowing than I'm a huge fan of Chris Rock going back to New Jack City and Boomerang days treated me to a screening during the holiday season.
Ever meet someone that seemed perfect, but the timing was a little off? Ever wonder what got your career and life so off-track that you no longer recognize neither one? Ever been a comedian who tried his best to make it as a serious actor...only to not be taken seriously at all?
Chris Rock did and tied it all together in a crude, comical, carousel ride called Top Five. There were moments I laughed so hard that I felt like I had been doing crunches!!! My favorite moment hands down was when rapper DMX is crooning Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" in that gruff, non-melodic tone of his that was very reminiscent of the 90's hit song by Biz Markie "Just A Friend"...pure comedy!!!
Writer, Director and Star of Top Five, Rock pulled out those old SNL skills and gave some of the comedy world's best and brightest a chance to shine alongside him in this vehicle, which is so refreshingly blunt and timely.
Rock stars as comedic superstar Andre Allen, who is attempting to shake his image as Hammy the Bear by starring in a serious slave drama. Audiences and critics love Hammy, except one New York Times reporter ...Chelsea Brown. Chelsea tags along with Allen for "a day in the life" feature and discovers that they have more in common than not. She also finds herself smitten by a man whose life is living him, has a "reality star" fiance' who cares more about her image and becomes invested in helping him rediscover his true self.
There is also a little bit of a Cinderella element woven throughout that provides Top Five with a lot of its charm. Again, another charming element was the fact that such comedic talent supported Rock like J.B. Smoov, Sherri Shephard, Whoopi Goldberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Cedric The Entertainer, Tracy Morgan, Kevin Hart, Leslie Jones and Broadway Star Ben Vereen.
Chris Rock is a comedic genius and his films are always right on time with a very prolific message. What's that? You wanna know what the message is? In the meantime, what are YOUR Top Five rappers of all time and find a screening of Top Five near you! Top Five opened in theaters on December 12th.

Fashion brand Desigual has teamed up with body positive advocate and model Charli Howard for their new summer campaign, which features bright, colorful photos that have not been retouched.
"How many fashion campaigns can you say haven't been retouched?" Howard, 26, shared on her Instagram, along with a photo from the campaign. "Me for Desigual."
The brand's Instagram page includes the campaign images along with quotes from Howard about why starring an an unretouched shoot was meaningful to her.
"Beauty is measured in so many sizes and shapes, not just size 0," she told the brand. "Diversity is the key to changing that."
Howard said she wasn't worried about putting any of her "faults" on display.
FROM PEN: Christie Brinkley's Girls Alexa and Sailor Reveal How They've Conquered Bullies and Body Shamers (and still love carbs!)
"I don't retouch my selfies at all and neither should you!" she said. "We all have insecurities and little faults, but that's exactly what makes us unique and special."
The model has spoken about feeling better about her body with more curves, so she now looks forward to modeling swimsuits.
"Now [that] I'm curvier, I feel so much sexier and excited to wear swimwear," she told the brand.
She also weighed in on what makes someone a "real woman."
"I think that every woman is a real woman," said Howard. "Who cares if they are short, tall, thin, fat, athletic, heterosexual or gay? Every one of us is marvelous."

ICPSR: The 1970s
The following text was excerpted from a personal history written by Erik W. Austin, whose career at ICPSR lasted 41 years and included service as interim executive director. Austin says: "I have written these pages from my recall of events and developments described below. These recollections are my own, and do not reflect 'official' institutional history. Admittedly, some aspects of the consortium's programs and activities will be slighted due to my tangential involvement in them. Contemporary survey data developments, the details of computational matters, and the Summer Program are three such areas that won't get as much ink as they undoubtedly deserve."
By 1970, some major organizational changes had occurred for the eight-year-old ICPR. Its parent organization was now the newly created Center for Political Studies rather than the Survey Research Center, and ICPR had a new Executive Director, political scientist Richard I. Hofferbert.i Internally, ICPR established three substantive sub-archives, each with a faculty Director and an assistant director. The Survey Data Archive was directed by University of Michigan political scientist Kent Jennings, with Carolyn Geda as Assistant Director. The Historical Archive was led by Jerome Clubb, and had Michael Traugott as Assistant Director. A third substantive sub-archive had been established to concentrate on data from the political science field of international relations. Funded largely by a contract from the US Office of Naval Research, the International Relations Data Archive had as its director U-M political scientist Raymond Tanter (succeeded by another U-M political scientist, Catherine Kelleher) while the Assistant Director was Robert Beattie. Traugott and Beattie were doctoral students in political science, as were many of the staff members of the three sub-archives. There was not a lot of coordination between the three groups, which had each developed somewhat different data processing procedures, and even maintained totally separate order fulfillment ("servicing") staffs.
In the Historical Archive, most activity remained focused on large data-conversion projects. In collaboration with French historians Francois Furet and LeRoi Ladurie of the Fourth and Sixth Sections of the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris, ICPSR digitized French census, demographic, education, and industrial statistics, 1801-1926, from printed volumes of statistics published in France. Grants from the US National Science Foundation and the US National Endowment for the Humanities were obtained to support this work. Erik Austin, with a smattering of French language knowledge, was assigned to oversee this project. Grateful assistance was received from Raymond Grew of the University of Michigan's History Department and Center for Western European Studies, which Grew directed. Other data conversion projects followed in rapid succession, including German election returns from 1919-1935; Macroeconomic Time Series for the US, Great Britain, France and Germany from 1650-1978 (originally prepared by the National Bureau of Economic Research in New York); and three sets of surveys that we called the "Cost of Living Surveys" conducted in the United States in 1888-1889, 1917-1919, and 1935-1937. The latter were the underpinning for what became the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index. Grants from the National Science Foundation supported the Macroeconomic Time Series project, while the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Sloan Foundation provided several grants to ICPSR for the Cost of Living Surveys.
The Cost of Living Survey project stretched into the 1980s, and involved an almost unprecedented transfer of official records from the US National Archive and Records Service in Washington, DC, to Ann Arbor. The original questionnaires for the 1917-1919 and the 1935-1937 surveys in this series were (and are) housed in the National Archives. Doing data entry at the Archives in those days was nearly impossible; Archives staff were quite resistant to the use of computers by "researchers" visiting their reading room. ICPSR was able to convince the Archives to temporarily transfer the survey questionnaires to the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor (part of the National Archives system of presidential libraries) for purposes of data entry in Ann Arbor. This was no mean feat: the Archives staff was strongly opposed to the removal of records in their custody, having been indoctrinated with the philosophy that "once records are accessioned INTO the National Archives, THEY NEVER LEAVE!!" ICPSR shamelessly enlisted the good offices of two different Archivists of the US to consummate the heretical transfer arrangement. The first of these Archivists of the US was Robert M. Warner, who had been the longtime Director of the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan (and which included the Michigan Historical Collections, former employer of Erik Austin). Warner convinced his staff at the Archives that they were not transferring records outside the National Archives system, but just moving them temporarily from one part of the system (in Washington, DC) to another (the Gerald Ford Library in Ann Arbor). When Warner stepped down as Archivist of the US, he was replaced by Don Wilson, who had been the Director of the Gerald Ford Library when records from the 1917-1919 survey had been temporarily transferred to his facility. For the 1935-1937 survey questionnaires, ICPSR reminded Wilson of the previous transfer arrangement, and Wilson agreed to a similar arrangement. Numerous staff from the National Archives deeply resented ICPSR for pulling off these two records-transfer arrangements and held grudges for quite a few years.
The late-1960s and early 1970s are recalled by many social scientists as the halcyon days of Federal funding support for social scientific research. Two of the United States' most longevous social science data collection efforts were begun in this period: the Panel Study of Income Dynamics initiated in 1968 at ISR, and the General Social Survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago, starting in 1972. ISR also competed for and won a large ($3.2 million) Institutional Grant from the National Science Foundation in the early 1970s. A portion of this grant was earmarked for a second social science archive at ISR, dedicated to processing and preserving surveys that had been conducted at ISR's several Centers. This archive, called the Social Science Archive (SSA), was overseen by Warren Miller, and had a small staff located in the main ISR building. (ICPR staff at the time were mostly located in the City Center Building, six blocks away from ISR.) SSA processed dozens of ISR surveys, coordinating to some extent with ICPR. When funding for SSA was not renewed, the datasets in the SSA holdings migrated to ICPR.
The first effort to establish a special topic archive at ICPR also did not last long. Many social scientists outside the political science field of international relations were uncomfortable with the funding source for the International Relations Archive (i.e., the US Office of Naval Research, a branch of the Defense Department). In the mid-1970s, at the height of the domestic turmoil in the United States over the Vietnam War, strong pressure from the ICPR Council and other advisors to the Consortium led to the organization choosing not to seek renewal of the contract with the Office of Naval Research. This angered many in the International Relations (IR) research community, which was heavily dependent on funding from US intelligence agencies. Relations between ICPR/ICPSR and this group of scholars remained strained for many years after this episode. Thus the first instance of sustained Federal funding for a special topic data archive was abandoned by the mid-1970s. Within a few years, however, the concept was again revisited, with generally better results.
Considerable institutional diversification marked the early 1970s at ICPR. A number of smaller, teaching-oriented colleges and universities were brought into the membership, chiefly through establishment of a "federation" concept of membership. A large research university (the "hub" of a federation) would provide services and assistance to smaller institutions in their region, thus permitting ICPR to provide services to a set of smaller colleges and universities not heretofore served. The largest of these new "federations" covered the state university systems of California, New York, and Florida, with additional federations located in Illinois and among small liberal arts colleges in the Midwest.
1975 was a momentous year in the history of the organization. In that year, Richard Hofferbert stepped down as Executive Director and was replaced by Jerome M. Clubb. Clubb consolidated the three sub-archives, with Michael Traugott as Director of Archival Development and Janet Vavra as head of the Servicing Section of the whole organization. ICPR also changed its name by adding "Social" to reflect the growing interest of sociologists in the affairs of the enterprise. It thus became ICPSR. A momentous meeting of Official Representatives also occurred in 1975, with what had to be characterized as a "floor revolt" by "young Turks" against "the establishment." The hot-button issue was contested elections for members of Council. Until that time, the Council election slate had been picked by a nominating committee under pretty careful control of the ICPR leadership, and consisted of exactly the same number of names as there were slots up for election. That changed following the 1975 OR meeting, as contested elections were mandated by the assembled Representatives (who were still mostly faculty members, and mostly from political science departments.)
In the late-1970s, ICPSR established two new sub-archives, each focused on a particular type of data and supported by a recurring supply of external funds. The first of these was the Criminal Justice Archive and Information Network (CJAIN), funded by the US Department of Justice's Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), and initiated in 1977. Also in 1977, a second "special-topic" archive was created, the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA). The initial sponsor of NACDA was the US Administration on Aging, a branch of the then-Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Each of these specialized archives concentrated on the collection, processing, and preservation of research data not hitherto collected to any great extent by ICPSR: crime and justice studies, and data relevant to the elderly and the aging process. The constituencies for each of these specialized archives were composed of both academic researchers and government officials and policymakers. The establishment of these "topical archives" provided ICPSR with clients from fields different from mainstream disciplines of political science, history, sociology, and economics. Yet an additional advantage of such topical archives was their sponsorship by federal agencies that carried with it the indirect cost associated with grants from such agencies. The indirect costs were an important source of revenue for CPS, with a small amount of it flowing to ICPR that permitted some expansion of Consortium activities and data collection arenas that would have been quite problematic had there been sole reliance on membership dues as an income source.ii Michael Traugott was the first director of each of these topical archives, writing a succession of grant proposals that brought annual sustained funding for these sub-archives throughout the 1970s and 1980s.iii
The relocation of most of ICPR to a site other than 426 Thompson Street (1968-1976) had enduring and damaging consequences for the organization in its relations with the rest of ISR. We were effectively cut off from all but cursory contact with not only the rest of ISR but also from our so-called parent organization, the Political Behavior Program of SRC. (In 1970, that Program became ISR's fourth center, the Center for Political Studies, under the leadership of its first Director, Warren Miller.) One whole ICPR Executive Director's term (that of Richard Hofferbert, 1970-1975) was served in the main ISR building while most of the organization's employees were housed six blocks away, in rental space. We had to forgo the frequent interactions with other ISR scientists and staff that occur with propinquity, which made it difficult for either party to learn about the other and stay abreast of developments. During the City Center Building period, the organization broadened its mission to include other social sciences beyond Political Science; changed its name to ICPSR to acknowledge our broader focus, particularly onto sociology; and nearly doubled the number of institutional members of the organization. These developments were barely, if at all, known by the rest of ISR or by most staff of the Center for Political Studies. An almost inevitable (but in retrospect, quite regrettable) "them-versus-us" mentality began to develop among those in City Center Building offices. It took more than a decade after ICPSR's return to 426 Thompson Street in 1976 for that attitude to dissipate.
The majority of the Consortium staff moved back to the main ISR building at 426 Thompson Street in 1976, and were assigned space in the newly constructed Wing II of the complex. ICPSR staff occupied the entire fourth floor of that wing, with offices for the ICPSR administrative and Summer Training Program staffs in an adjacent "bay area" of the original wing of ISR.iv As the Consortium grew in the 1980s, it acquired more space in Wing I, acquiring "bays" mostly contiguous to the "Admin bay." ICPSR would stay in space at 426 Thompson Street for 22 years.
ICPR/ICPSR had, almost from the beginning of its existence, a set of faculty members appointed by the Executive Director as "Associate Directors" of the organization. These positions were intended to provide the organization with additional counsel and leadership, and add a complement of continuity to Council discussions and deliberations that was difficult to sustain in a body (i.e., the Council) that was completely replaced every four years. Until 1978, all the Associate Directors were University of Michigan faculty who also held ISR appointments: political scientists Philip Converse, Donald Stokes, Kent Jennings, Warren Miller (from the mid-1970s onward), and Catherine Kelleher, as well as social psychologist Angus Campbell. In 1978, a non-University of Michigan scientist was added to the roster of ICPSR Associate Directors, former Council chair Heinz Eulau from Stanford University's Political Science Department. Appointment of a non-ISR Associate Director was auspicious, particularly for developments in the 1980s.
Throughout its history, ICPSR enjoyed a tremendous amount of support from "outsiders" — people at ISR, the rest of the University of Michigan, and above all from people outside U-M. All kinds of established scholars voluntarily served on the Council, on a myriad of advisory committees, and took time to make suggestions and read drafts of proposals. These individuals provided needed advice, assistance, and criticism, not to mention conferring a measure of legitimacy on the organization and its projects. There were far too many such individuals to list here, but some need special acknowledgment: Albert Hermalin (Population Studies Center) and Harold Johnson (School of Social Work) of the University of Michigan; Hubert "Tad" Blalock (Sociology, University of Washington); Allan Bogue (History, University of Wisconsin); Norval Glenn (Sociology, University of Texas); Heinz Eulau (Political Science, Stanford University); Cliff Clogg (Sociology, Penn State University); and Murray Murphy (History, University of Pennsylvania).
The 1977 Biennial Meeting of Official Representatives featured a tour de force banquet speech by Angus Campbell. Campbell had been one of ISR's founders in 1946, had served as Director of ISR's Survey Research Center from 1948-1970, and was ISR Director from 1970-1976. He was also appointed an Associate Director of ICPSR in the mid-1970s, and was a strong supporter of the Consortium. In his talk, he sketched the history of survey research in the United States from the 1930s to the 1970s. He encapsulated the social psychological approach to the study of political life with two concise but intellectually robust sentences: "A person thinks politically as he is socially. Social characteristics determine political preference." Campbell tied survey research developments into the affairs of ICPSR and emphasized the importance of ICPSR to the social science enterprise. (One of the ICPSR staff's great faux pas was not thinking to record Campbell's talk. He died in 1980. The sole remaining trace of this magnificent talk are his notes for the speech, stored in his official papers at the Bentley Library.)
An important ancillary activity was begun in the mid-1970s, with heavy involvement (and financial commitment) by Warren Miller and Jerry Clubb. This was the establishment of the Social Science History Association (SSHA), which was chartered in 1974. Numerous historians (and not a few economists and sociologists who worked in historical depth) had become dissatisfied with the hostile attitude toward empirical work shown by the major professional association for historians, the American Historical Association. They banded together to form SSHA as an independent professional association, replete with a quarterly journal and annual conference at which research results would be reported. Warren offered space and financial support for the new association's directorate, and Jerry became the first Executive Director. ICPSR staff (chiefly Jerry's senior secretary, Donna Gotts, as well as Erik Austin) processed the membership transactions, and assisted with logistics for the annual meeting. Warren became the Association's third president, and Jerry its eighth. ICPSR was to remain the strongest institutional supporter of the new association, even after Jerry stepped down as Executive Director in 1983.
i I believe Richard Hofferbert was personally selected by Warren Miller to succeed Miller as ICPR Executive Director. Hofferbert (recruited from Cornell University) also held an appointment as Assistant Professor in the U-M department of Political Science. He had served a term on the ICPR Council (1967-1969) before being appointed Executive Director. I didn't know Hofferbert well at all. I doubt that I saw him more than 15-20 times during his five-year term as Executive Director. We had already moved our archive offices to the City Center Building when he arrived to take the Executive Director post, where his office was located in the main ISR building. He rarely visited the City Center Building, and many of us got to ISR only infrequently. Hofferbert was personable, and had a good sense of humor (bordering on the highly sarcastic). I'll always associate him with a "name change" for me. From childhood, I had never liked the name "Erik" bestowed upon me by my mother. Rather, I preferred the nickname "Rick," which was used by friends, teachers, and just about everybody I was associated with. This included my graduate student colleagues, University employers, and everyone I knew at ISR...until Hofferbert arrived. He preferred to be called "Rick" rather than Richard, and it became a bit confusing for people to refer to two "Ricks" within the same organization. I began to use my given name of "Erik" in the early '70s to ease the confusion, and it stuck thereafter. Now, only family, close friends, and my grandchildren call me "Rick," thus causing confusion of a slightly different sort.
ii Upon gaining its independence from CPS in 1998, ICPSR was able to retain all of its IDCR.
iii The name and sponsor of the criminal justice topical archive changed over time. The federal agency called LEAA was dissolved in the 1980s, and one of its government successors within the US Department of Justice was the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). BJS took over sponsorship of ICPSR's criminal justice archive, and asked that it be renamed the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) in the late-1980s. Two other Justice Department agencies joined as partners with BJS in the NACJD activity, beginning in the early 1990s. These were the National Institute of Justice and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Both of these agencies provided funding to ICPSR for the archiving of data whose collection they had sponsored. In the mid-1980s, sponsorship of NACDA was switched from the Administration on Aging to the National Institute on Aging, which proved to be a much better fit for NACDA and its mission.

For musical-lovers. It's okay if you cry a little when they open those barn doors at the end…
And as a bonus, here's a suggestion for New Year's Eve!
That's right, King Julien has gotten his very own original series on Netflix. A favorite character from the Madagascar movies, he'll be joined by his sidekicks Maurice and Mort in his jungle adventures. Why not join the biggest party animal on the biggest party night of the year, and watch some episodes while you wait up for midnight?
Whatever you decide to stream this holiday season, I hope you are watching with loved ones by your side! Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

How would I reset the settings and content on my phone?
My friend just got a new phone and was generous enough to give me his old one. It still has all of his custom settings, photos, contacts, etc. I am needing to know how to get all of this off of the phone so it will be like it has never had anything on it.

Premex Group has announced a number of changes to its senior management structure.
The company, which provides a range of outsourcing services to the public sector, legal and insurance clients, has updated key roles and responsibilities to reflect the continued growth of the Premex Group and its subsidiary brands.
As of 1st October 2013, Group CEO Dr Simon Margolis will assume the role of Group Chairman, while current Premex Services' Managing Director, Donald Fowler, will become Group Chief Executive Officer with responsibility for the wider UK business. Mike Cutler, who currently manages the Rehabilitation brand, will assume the new expanded role of Managing Director of both Premex Services and Premex Rehabilitation.
Bill Clynes, currently Group Managing Director will move to the role of Group Commercial Director. Ian Hill remains as Group Finance Director.
Simon Margolis and Bill Clynes have led the business from its formation in 1996 to today's substantial company with revenues in excess of £75m and more than 400 employees. Dr Margolis explains, "One of the many reasons Premex has enjoyed success is the stability of its management team. Whilst this restructure might appear to represent lots of change, in reality it is the opposite. It is a natural step for the individuals involved and we are confident our new board structure will ensure the continued delivery of our strategy over the coming years. "
Donald Fowler has been Managing Director of Premex Services since 2008. Donald's objective as Group CEO is to now foster and grow the wider group into new market areas, leveraging the Group's core competencies and ethos underpinned by clear customer focus and innovation.
"Donald's leadership is essential for Premex. He has managed the business through significant change including the current industry reforms, the evolution of Premex's industry leading IT platform, the launch of new services and the company's acquisition by ExamWorks in 2011," says Simon.
On assuming the role of MD for both Premex Services and Premex Rehabilitation, Simon explains thatMike Cutler has added significant value to the Rehabilitation business over the previous eighteen months. "Mike has recently spearheaded a successful diversification strategy for the Group and is a natural successor to Donald in taking on responsibility for driving our core medico legal and rehabilitation businesses forward."
Donald Fowler, CEO of Premex Group says: "I'm delighted to have the confidence of the board behind me to take Premex Group into its next phase of development. We have a strong foundation, a great management team and excellent customer relationships, so I'm anticipating exciting times ahead."
Mike Cutler, Managing Director of Premex Services & Premex Rehabilitation, adds: "This company has been a pioneer in many ways and I'm very proud to be given the opportunity to drive our core businesses forward. Not only have we delivered superior products and services, but Premex has supported its customers and peers on a variety of significant areas of reform over the past 24 months, playing a vital role in fostering understanding of the value of independent medical evidence in the personal injury claims process."

Martha Associate Day
September 16, 2017
The Eastern Associates held their annual gathering on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at Bethany. It marked the last time that the Eastern Group would meet at Bethany. As well, it marked a new beginning to the face of the annual gathering: a day as opposed to a full weekend retreat. The topic of the day was; therefore, very appropriate, "The Art Of Grieving".
Sr. Franklyn Ferguson, CSM, lead us through a beautiful presentation, reflecting on a more complete understanding of what it means to grieve. Sr. Franklyn opened her presentation with a lovely song: "There is a Season", reminding us that there is a time for every purpose under Heaven!
Sr. Franklyn explained that grieving is a process of how we perceive loss: psychologically, socially, behaviorally, physically and spiritually. Naming our loss and our feelings helps us to bring an understanding to it, and allows us to move forward and to do something about it. When we do not allow ourselves to deal with our grief, it can become a pathology and makes us sick!
It is important to remember that we all grieve in different ways and in different periods of time. It is also noteworthy that grief does not only occur with death, but with the loss of many things ie: Hearing, eyesight, mobility, etc. Any change can constitute loss. Awareness of these changes, and naming them allows us to move forward.
Mourning is a part of grieving and it is something we must do. It too is a process and must be done in each person's time.
Sr. Franklyn described grieving in this way: Grief is like a cut, acute and numb, followed by bleeding, eventual healing and finally a scar. The scar may shrink, but it is always there. But the cut has travelled through a process of change and has been transformed, and the healing allows us to continue forward as all life must.
Our day ended with a prayer and song of Thanksgiving to God.

Just because winter is coming on doesn't mean your gardening has to stop! Seasonal displays of winter-hardy plants can keep the color going in the landscape throughout those cold months. TheDCH, in collaboration with The Scott Arboretum, recently held a demonstration workshop to teach how to enhance the winter appeal of planted containers. Josh Coceano, Scott Arboretum horticulturist, and Lenny Wilson, Associate Director of Development at TheDCH, showed how to achieve gorgeous seasonal interest.
Starting off with an informative powerpoint, Josh Coceano recommended some basic guidelines for planning a winter container. First of all, bigger is better to accommodate freezing and thawing, provide root space and drainage. There are wide varieties of planting containers available such as terracotta, impruneta terracotta, glazed containers, metal, slate, concrete, hypertufa, drainage tiles, recycled/repurposed items, faux stone and faux terracotta. When choosing a container, keep in mind where it will be placed to help make your selection.
Considering your home's architecture and the container's color, size, shape and material are important in designing a container with visual presence. Since the plant color palette is more limited in winter, emphasis should be placed on line and texture. Conifers have the lead role in winter containers, either as plantings, stuck greens (branches & trimmings) or in combination. All eyes will focus on the containers in winter, so a full, lush look is desirable.
Plant suggestions include deciduous willows and dogwoods, conifers, evergreens, yuccas, rhododendrons, grasses and cold hardy perennials such as heurcheras, Christmas fern, bergenia and hellebores. Spring bulbs and cold-tolerant annuals may be added in as well. To provide holiday touches, seasonal "stick-ins" of fruited stems, painted dried flowers, bamboo and branches may be put to use.
For ideas and plant selections, Josh gave us a great tip – go see the container plantings at local nursery centers and botanical gardens and use the computer to "Google" many more examples. He advised gathering and grouping plants together at the nursery to see how the combinations will fit and work together before purchasing them.
After seeing many inspiring winter container examples in the presentation, Josh and Lenny took the workshop outside and did the following hands-on demonstration.
Great Stuff! Love the mix of Colors & Textures…
How brave to use such large conifers ! I would never have thought to be so bold ! really works though, and you could move them into the garden once they became unhappy in the pot
I was really interested to read about winter containers! After losing my husband, my large house and garden was too much for me so I have moved to an apartment home, so containers is all I can have. I am in Zone 5, do you think the plants mentioned would survive? Thanks for the information!

text: New PCI DSS (Effective Immediately) In April 2015 the PCI Council released a new update to the PCI Data Security Standard (version 3.1). The main change in this version is the determination that SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 are no longer considered strong cryptography and therefore cannot be used as a security control. The original deadline for this migration was June 30, 2016, however, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council has recently postponed the deadline to June 30th, 2018. However, Ingenico ePayments has decided to continue updating its Ingenico ePayments Platform Offline Post-Sales Status Communicator to support TLS 1.1 / TLS 1.2 as of 25 May 2016. New implementations must not use SSL or early TLS, effective immediately. Moreover, companies that are using SSL and/or early TLS versions must have a formal Risk Mitigation and Migration Plan in place. What is the impact for you? Our platform already supports the updated TLS 1.2 version and we kindly request that you make sure to use TLS 1.1 / 1.2 when communicating with us. Furthermore, we have been sending communications from TLS 1.2 in TEST and in PROD. We encourage you to upgrade as soon as possible to TLS 1.1 / TLS 1.2, as of 25 May 2016 we will no longer send communications based on TLS 1.0 from our gateway. Please note that no change of your configuration onto our gateway is needed. We also recommend that you check system integrators to make sure that they implement this upgrade as well. Additional Information : You can find additional information about the new standards here: PCI DSS version 3.1: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/PCI_DSS_v3-1.pdf Summary of the changes of version 3.1: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/PCI_DSS_v3-1_Summary_of_Changes.pdf For more information, please read End of TLS 1.0 Support or contact our Customer Care team.

€60 per day
€50 per day (more than 5 days)
Bring a friend and both get 20% off the weekly fee
including healthy snacks, drinks, warm lunch, highly qualified instructors and nature excursions
PICK-UPS (optional) flexible location
Camp Times
Monday to Friday
9:00-15:00 hours
(extra hours are possible)
In Dutch and English
What does it mean to be sustainable?
Learn about living in a sustainable way through fun, hands-on activities in a beautiful nature retreat. Over the course of one week, we'll teach you about the five major themes of sustainability: land, air, food, energy, and water. There is also plenty of time to enjoy the location and go on nature excursions.
All days start with a gathering at the bonfire where a beautiful fantasy story is told by a fantasy character of the Terragon Woods. From there on, children are free to explore the wilderness, get dirty, run around, jump on the trampoline, make friends and to get immersed in nature through fantasy storytelling and play. Older kids are learned how to make a fire, how to keep it burning, how to build a proper structure and a lot more.
Around noon a warm meal is served. Prior to the main meal and after, light snacks and drinks are served.
One Golden Rule stands high in Terragon culture. "Nothing is a must to do" if you don't want to participate an activity, you don't have to.
Terragon Location
Terragon Nature Camps is an all-weather activities camp on the Terragon private terrain. Within our 2.5 acre terrain we have a forest, multiple wagons and magical spaces, a 10-meter tall tipi and lots of other tents. Also the main house functions as a safe heaven during heavy rains and houses the kitchen, toilets, a shower facility and a piano. Terragon Nature Center is located in 400-hectare rural land in Amsterdam, that is part of the national heritage.

Browse the products we have on animals and pets to find out tools, questions and hands-on body processes that can create huge shifts for both your animals and you.
Did you know that every animal, plant and structure on this planet has consciousness and desires to gift to you? Have you ever noticed that regardless what mood you're in, or even if you've forgotten to take your pet for a walk that afternoon, that it will still have your back unconditionally? One of the greatest gifts that animals give to us is the way they receive from us without question, without judgment and without limitation. They give us the chance to do the one thing that most of us never get the chance to do – to totally gift everything we've got without limitation or consideration.
Animals are one of the greatest gifts on planet earth, they have so much to offer us and the world about what is possible if we just listen. What would it be like to have a sense of communion with the animals, where separation is not real and where communication goes beyond words?
Discover the questions, energy and techniques that you can begin to use with animals to create a greater future than you imagined possible right away.

The launching of the LEE (Low Energy Electrons) instrument in 1968 by the University of Chicago marked the beginning of a series of balloon observations of cosmic ray electrons. Regular balloon flights were launched from Northern Canada up until 1979. In 1984, the project was transferred to the Bartol Research Institute, which has been a part of the University of Delaware since 2000. The last flight of LEE was in 2011. The data from these balloon flights has been used to study solar modulation of electrons with energies up to ~ 20GeV.
To the left is a mock up of LEE. It briefly detects incoming electrons with 3 plastic scintilators labeled T1, T3, and G as well as the gas Cherenkov detector T2. Through the use of a cesium iodide (T4) and a leadglass calorimeter (T5) it measures the electron energy. Scintillator T6 also assists in particle identification and energy determination by counting the number of particles that escape the calorimeter. However, since LEE lacks a magnetic system it is unable to distinguish between negative and positive electrons. Despite this, LEE still provides one of the more precise measurements of the electron spectrum over an extended period of time.
Measurements taken by the LEE payload in 2009 and 2011 show an inconsistency between the electron spectrum prediction from propagation models below 200 MeV. Part of the motivation for AESOP-Lite is measuring the positron abundance in this energy range. This is crucial in order to probe the source and modulation of the low-energy spectrum.
The figure above shows one of the more crucial results from the most recent LEE flights. It depicts the estimate of the interstellar electron spectrum based on recent Voyager data compared with PAMELA (a Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics) and LEE observations during 2009. Measurements from the 2011 LEE flight flight were also added for comparison.

On a nice hot, sunny day I was very excited because my Dad decided to bake a cake. One that had Milo in it and another cake with cocoa in it. At first we got the ingredients and we started to bake the cake.We put the cake in the oven and waited till it was ready.
Ring! The bell rang from the oven and I screamed because I had a shock and my sisters laughed and laughed. We checked the cakes in the oven and we saw one of the cakes was melted but still it did taste nice. So we told our dad about it. He said to put it on a tray. One of my sisters took out the cake, it cracked into pieces. Then my dad said that we could eat it. My favourite part was when we ate the cake and it tasted nice.

Meet Mr. Menswear Bunny. I've been wanting to do this project for quite some time and in the middle of packing up our house, I had a bolt of creativity and decided it was time to making this bunny.
I had the fabric sitting by my desk for ages and it came together in two days. I found the fabric at Value Village months earlier and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but I liked it.
I printed out the pattern and started cutting and sewing. I didn't have any cotton filling so I spent the next day looking for some at craft and fabric stores but wasn't satisfied with the large bags of stiff poly-fill. Instead I went to Ikea and bought a little throw pillow for $2 with a soft cotton poly fill. It worked perfectly. I stuffed that bunny and hand stitched his eyes and nose.
I loved making him and can see my self making another soon! I gave this one to my niece for her 1st birthday.

The Lakeland, Fla.-based grocer's latest location is less than a mile from a Harris Teeter store – It's not unusual for Publix to build its new stores near to Harris Teeter locations since it competes closely with the Matthews supermarket chain.
Publix has been doing that ever since entering the competitive Charlotte grocery market with a Ballantyne store in 2014. Its Cotswold store under construction, for example, is directly across Randolph Road from a Harris Teeter.
At its new Prosperity Village store, Publix will have all its typical supermarket amenities, including a bakery, deli, pharmacy, and produce, seafood, meat and floral sections, according to its website.

Well, it's been a crazy busy two weeks for this Prairie girl lately. Family visiting from the Westcoast the first week. My sister and brother in law had their second baby this week. I feel that I have so much to be grateful for.
At the same time part of me feels sad. I think all of the beauty that has happened in the last little while reveals a shadow in my heart too. Maybe a realization. Faced with the reality of what my life was like before I became a single parent. The things that happened when I had my own two children and lost one. And I can not pretend or suppress those memories. I can't even hold back the tears that I could before. Which tells me it's time to let the sadness out that I was never allowed to express and if I did it was minimized and made to feel like it was ridiculous.
This tiny piece represents the passion and beauty that life can have. The fresh start of things. Also the end of things, the releasing of heavy things and giving birth to something new.

Some backstory for the uninitiated: Duke Nukem Forever had a long (really long -- like, fifteen years) and troubled development history. For a many years no one thought it would ever be released. Turns out we were all wrong: two weeks ago it appeared on store shelves, to thunderous hype and more than a little bewilderment.
And it sucked.
It must have really sucked, because it basically got panned everywhere. Video game reviewers are not a group known for their inviolable journalistic principles, or their habit of doggedly speaking truth to power, but they mostly agreed: DNF would probably have been better off left in limbo.
It's not the game that's interesting to me, though. It's the controversy that's exploded after the game was released. Apparently, a member of the Redner Group, the game's PR firm, sent the following frustrated tweet:
Too many went too far with their [Duke Nukem Forever] reviews…we are reviewing who gets games next time and who doesn't based on today's venomBy"games next time," he's referring to the generally-accepted practice of publishers sending out advance copies of games to reviewers, in the hopes that early rave reviews will build sales momentum.
To the gaming community, this all seemed a bit too close to blackmail. Angry posts were written, people were fired, PR contracts ripped up. Ill-advised defenses were mounted. Apologies were made and assurances given.
The end? Not really. Just because Redner said the wrong thing doesn't mean that Redner is wrong. In fact, I almost appreciate their honesty. The distribution of review copies happens across the industry, and no one thinks they're sent out because of game developers' commitment to impartial consumer reviews. The practice is unabashedly a tit-for-tat exchange: we'll give you the games you need to ply your trade, and you give us the good reviews we need to sell our games.
You might expect market forces to correct this problem: after all, a game reviewer who pays fifty dollars for each new game would surely earn more than fifty dollars worth of credibility with his readers. And if review copies were the only thing at play, I'd agree. But the flap over review copies is only representative of the real problem: access.
A reviewer or reporter who rubs a game developer the wrong way could find himself without access to the precious lifeblood of games journalism: the ability to go behind the scenes with developers and see exciting new games. And game journalists know that preview stories, breathlessly detailing the Next Big Thing, are the bread and butter of their trade. Few press outlets could survive the total loss of access.
I'm not saying that game developers use access rights as a bulwark against bad press (although I wouldn't be surprised if it were common). But everyone in the industry must be acutely aware of the way things work, anyway. Everyone must know who is holding all the cards. And there's no way that it doesn't impact what reporters write about games.
The effect is easy enough to see: anyone who has ever picked up a game magazine knows what a joke preview articles are. You could read a hundred of them before you found even the slightest expression of skepticism. Either the writers are fawning idiots who are blown away by the repetitious mediocrity that is most games... or they're simply under pressure not to bite the hand that feeds them.
What I'm describing is basically a form of informal regulatory capture. (I know that it's a bit strange to call game reviewers "regulators," but to a certain extent, that's the role most people expect them to play: punishing bad firms with bad reviews.) The interests of the regulators have become intertwined with the interests of the regulated. It's not an uncommon problem, of course. Even the access-for-coverage dynamic should be familiar to anyone who works in politics. (Think about this the next time you read an article that uncritically parrots the words of an "anonymous, high-ranking White House official." Why does no one ever seem to out that guy?)
Ordinarily the solution to capture is conceptually straightforward (if difficult in practice): build better regulators. There's a vast literature on how to structure a regulatory institution so that it can resist industry influence.
But that's pretty clearly not the solution here. That's because, understandably, there's no one around to do the building. It's just not important enough of an issue. The makers of Duke Nukem Forever hadn't dumped radioactive waste into the Mississippi. They weren't even designing SUVs that roll over, or selling toxic baby toys. They just made a crappy game and tried to pawn it off on as many people as possible. Life goes on.
And honestly, we're not just talking about the video games industry. At the highest level of abstraction, you see a similar dynamic in many industries that provide consumer goods. The industry is holding all the goods and most of the money, and the consumer reporters and reviewers are forced to buddy up to the companies they're supposed to be criticizing. Cars! Wine! Consumer electronics!
It must distort the market -- consumers need information to make purchasing decisions, and the information reaching their ears is skewed in favor of the firms already participating in the market.
Anyway, I don't have any solutions here. On one hand, consumer goods are one area where I generally favor a laissez-faire approach (after addressing safety concerns and the like). On the other, I don't like having to say, "Well, these industries aren't important enough to regulate, so we'll just endure the costs." And those costs, taken in the aggregate, seem substantial! No one is going to be calling for a federal video game regulator because they disliked Duke Nukem Forever*. But how much money do we waste every year making bad purchasing decisions because we don't have access to good information? Probably a lot!
The only response that jumps to mind -- and this is more a thought than a proposition -- is somehow placing all consumer reviews, for all the different products, under one very large roof. That way the welfare of the consumer reporters isn't dependent on any one industry, and heavily dependent on the credibility of the agency as a whole. Of course, there's about a thousand reasons this would be impractical and creepy, starting with implementation, and heading quickly into the inherent absurdity of living in a world where the National Board of Game Evaluation gives Modern Warfare 3 a 5.4, citing "lack of innovation" and "dull multiplayer."
So where does that leave us? I'm not sure. I'd like to find a better way of doing things -- but I just don't see one out there.
*Except maybe me, apparently.

Capital Digest
The U.S. Justice Department has proposed remedies in an ongoing case addressing segregation in Mississippi's higher-education institutions that would prevent any historically black college from being closed.
The department last month called for all of the state's public universities to remain open and for the state's medical school to be relocated at historically black Jackson State University, a move likely to attract white students.
The Justice Department proposal strongly criticized the state university governing board's plan to close two of the state's three historically black universities and to merge them with predominantly white schools.
Nat Douglas, the chief of the Justice Department's education-litigation section, said last week that the eventual resolution of the Mississippi case could set precedents that would affect similar cases in other states, including Louisiana and Alabama.
Supporters of several historically black colleges involved in desegregation cases have advanced similar proposals to attract white students by moving high-profile programs to the schools.
Student-Aid Cutoff: The Department of Education has cut off the flow of federal student-aid funds to a Philadelphia-based chain of proprietary schools that is suspected of fraud.
In a letter dated Jan. 5, the department notified the Philadelphia Training Center Corporation that it was immediately suspending the schools' seven campuses from participation in the Title IV federal student-aid programs.
In the letter, Ronald D. Lipton, the director of the compliance and enforcement division of the department's student-financial-assistance office, charged that the P.T.C. schools were "poised on the brink of precipitous closure.'' He noted that P.T.C.'s liabilities outweighed its assets by slightly more than 2 to 1 as of Dec. 31, 1992, and that its liabilities currently include some $2.7 million in unpaid federal and state taxes and tax penalties.
Among other allegations, the department contended that the corporation's owners, Richard and Rimona Friedberg, had continued to draw six-figure salaries, as had their children and other relatives.
In fiscal 1993, the Education Department issued 29 emergency actions cutting off aid to 60 institutions where federal funds were deemed to be in jeopardy, according to a department spokeswoman. The figure includes one incident involving a chain of 28 proprietary schools.
Educational Diplomacy: U.S. Education Department officials will meet with some of their Mexican counterparts next month to discuss coordinating the two countries' education programs.
The Feb. 19 meeting in Los Angeles will focus on curriculum reform, teacher exchanges, and professional development, said Eugene E. Garcia, the director of the office of bilingual education and minority-languages affairs.
The meeting, which Mr. Garcia announced at a recent forum on the educational implications of the recently enacted North American Free Trade Agreement, will "add muscle and sinew to the bones of existing collaboration'' between the two countries' education agencies.
That collaboration began with a cooperative agreement signed in
March 1990 by then-Secretary of Education Lauro F. Cavazos and was
expanded the next year at a two-day "border conference.''

Mankato Free Press
Two new memorials are being planned for Mapleton and Mankato as bookends for Victory.
Memorial Highway, the stretch of Highway 22 between the two cities that has been a living monument to military veterans since just after World War II.
The $50,000 initiative aims to ease some of the pain felt by area residents when witnessing crews topple 600 trees that had been planted along the highway, each one in honor of a family member who served in the armed forces.
Maple River Messenger
In May of 1992, a group of people with a vision to "improve the quality of life in the Mapleton area" by supporting local organizations and assisting in community and economic growth, began the Mapleton Area Foundation. Now, a new generation of people, along with two of the original members of the foundation, Mike Johnson and Jim Swanson, has determined that the foundation should be revived with the same goals and mission, to support the community and economic growth in the Mapleton area.

The men and women in blue patrol from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., a 12-hour commitment.
"If I'm asleep by 8 [a.m.], I try to get up by 3 [p.m.] so I have a couple hours to do stuff," said Officer Mathews, my assigned patrol-mate. "I'm normally here about 6:15, 6:30 [p.m.] to get ready for shift. That's me leaving my house about 5:45. So I get up at 3 so I can have a little bit of a day."
The conversation above took place at Oscar's Taco Shop before the shift began. Mathews said one of his favorite, preshift meals is their chicken fries, which he classified as "really good, but really bad."
After the snack, we headed for one of UTPD's new patrol cars, ready to begin Mathews' last shift before the weekend.
Mathews' explained the 2-2-3 schedule; each patrol officer works two days on, then two days off, then three days on, repeating the numbers throughout the week. Sometimes, like this week for Mathews, the off days fall on the weekend.
"I'll stay up all day Friday, hang out by the pool ... sometimes I like to go hiking," Mathews explained. "Or I'll try to catch an hour nap midday when there's nothing else going out."
On his long week, however, when he only has Wednesday and Thursday off, Mathews said he maintains his nocturnal schedule.
"Like I'll go work out, come home and do laundry, get stuff done around the house, just stuff I can do without waking any of my roommates up," he explained. "Play videogames, use my computer, and hit the bed."
Perhaps a result of the nocturnal lifestyle they share, Mathews said he is pretty good friends with his shift mates.
"Part of it is that we have the same days off," he said. "It's easy to just call each other up and see what's going on. Whether it's going to Hooters to grab a drink or going hiking...just doing something."
Mathews explained to me that the training process was extensive. Each hopeful cop-to-be must submit a background check and a physical; if the department feels you are a qualified candidate, then the testing process begins.
"It's essentially like a mental capacity test," Mathews said. "They'll give you the definition of burglary vs. robbery, and the next five or six questions will be like, 'This is what happened: what is it, a burglary or a robbery?'"
The testing extends to a typing evaluation to ensure the potential officer can type at least 26 words per minute. Mathews said that, because all of the reports are computer based, the department wants to ensure that the officer does not spend all day typing reports.
The physical test is perhaps the most rigorous obstacle, requiring each applicant to perform as many sit-ups and pushups as they could in 60 seconds. They also have to run 1.5 miles and sprint 300 meters within a certain time, adjusted by age brackets.
"For the most part, it's at least a couple months long," Mathews said. "This last group we hired six or seven, and we had 114 applications for seven positions."
The job requires at least a high school diploma or GED, although Mathews has his bachelor's degree from UT in sociology focused on criminal justice.
After graduating from UT in 2011, Mathews said he saw the job opening and applied.
Despite the intense application process, he said the job just fell in his lap.
"When I was a student at UT, I didn't think much of UTPD," Mathews said. "Actually getting in the job and seeing everything that's done is eye-opening, really."
I asked him if he had always wanted to be a university police officer.
"I've always been really meticulous, pay-attention-to-details-type," Mathews said.
Quotes from the
Officer Zach Mathews
On escort rides:
"We don't do a lot of the escorts. I know that's one of the myths about us – 'Oh, call UTPD, they'll give you a ride if you're drunk.' We'll give you a ride somewhere but it may not be where you wanna go."
On fraternities:
"After the incident that we had at PIKE, everything died down pretty heavily. As a mid-20s guy, I understand completely where they're coming from; when I get with my friends, we do some stupid stuff sometimes. It's just a matter of when and where you do your stupid stuff. If you're somewhere where you're not supposed to have alcohol, well if you get in trouble for having alcohol who's fault is it? It's nothing personal against fraternity guys, I'm just doing my job."
On biking:
"You're not supposed to jump from sidewalk to street. If you're on a bike, if you roll up to a red light, all you have to do is stop and make sure nothing is coming. You can treat a red light like a stop sign. You don't have enough weight to trigger the sensor."
On parties:
"Noise ordinance is anything that can be heard in excess of 50 feet. So you've got probable cause to go up and talk to them. Reasonable suspicion would be, there's a lot of people going in and out of the house. There might not be a lot of music, you might not see a lot of people outside of the house, but you see people freely going in and out of the house. It's not illegal to party, it's just that a lot of times those things tend to get out of hand. That's the whole purpose of the reasonable suspicion thing, just that you watch it so it doesn't get out of hand."
