FIBA u19 World Championship Recap: Team USA
The FIBA under 19 World Championship took place from June 30th until July 10th in Latvia. There was an abundance of talent present and many internationally players impressed. The first part of this two part recap focuses on Team USA, which surprisingly lost in the quarter finals and finished in 5th place.
Russia upset Team USA and sent them into the consolation bracket. Team USA unfortunately lacked many of the freshmen collegiate stars that were eligible to play in the World Championship (Harrison Barnes, Jared Sullinger, etc.) and never seemed to fully find true cohesiveness on the court.

HARDIN COUNTY — Fiscal Court members on Tuesday will hear the first reading of Judge-Executive Harry Berry's proposed 2008-09 budget, which has drawn a few requests for changes.
For one thing, Commissioner Bill Brandenburg wants to remove from the budget a $12.5 million figure Berry calls a "placeholder" for new government offices. Brandenburg opposes Berry's wish to consolidate county agencies away from downtown.

EDMONTON - The golden goalie took the long way home from the Sochi Olympics, which was fitting.
It had been, after all, a long, hard slog for Edmonton's Shannon Szabados and her Canadian women's hockey team members on the way to the 2014 Winter Games.
In the end, her second Olympic gold medal in tow, it was no chore at all for the goaltender to return from Sochi through Frankfurt, Vienna and Toronto before touching down in Edmonton on Tuesday night.
Szabados was greeted at the airport by her parents, Gary and Sharyl, her brother Matt and his girlfriend, and her husband, Alex Ritchie.
After hugging her loved ones, the 27-year-old, two-time Olympian, showed off her medal and graciously, patiently, posed for photos, first for print and TV cameras, then for a lengthy line of awestruck fans.
The hard part for Szabados and her teammates, dramatic as it was, had been overcoming a 2-0 deficit late in the third period to defeat their archrivals, Team USA, 3-2 in overtime to win the Olympic title.
Nearly 13 million Canadians watched that classic on TV or on the Internet and were as gobsmacked as they were jubilant. Did that just happen? they asked themselves.
"We're still saying that," a travel-weary Szabados told reporters at Edmonton International Airport. "We look at each other all the time and ask, 'Did that really just happen?' It was an unbelievable game."
Fittingly, the team's journey home included a chance meeting at the Vienna airport with members of Canada's national women's soccer team who won the bronze-medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, including Christine Sinclair .
"That was awesome, I don't know who was more excited to meet who," Szabados said. "It was pretty cool."
It was also an apt image of how crucial Canada's female athletes have become to our Olympic success, winter or summer.
Sinclair famously scored a hat-trick for Canada in their heartbreaking loss to the Americans in the Olympic semifinal soccer game in London, setting the stage for Canada's bronze-medal game victory over France.
Szabados' performance, as well as that of Marie-Philip Poulin, who scored the tying and gold-medal goals against the Americans, were no less heroic in a total team effort for Canada as they won their fourth straight Olympic gold medal.
This one did not come easy, not just during the final, but in the run-up to it.
Team Canada had fashioned a mediocre 9-19 won-lost record in their gruelling series of games against Alberta's top AAA Midget boys teams, losing the last six in a row.
They had gone 2-4 in a six-game exhibition series against Team USA, losing the last four straight. Injuries to key players, including Poulin and Hayley Wickenheiser, made things harder in the preparation phase.
Szabados lost her uncle Wayne, who died of cancer on Nov. 8 and her cousin, Wayne's son Graham, suddenly on Oct. 1.
"In the big picture, hockey is just a sport," Szabados said. "A lot of things went on, but support from my family, and my teammates and Hockey Canada kept me going."
In early December, head coach Dan Church abruptly resigned from the women's team, replaced by Kevin Dineen, who had been fired early in the NHL season from his head coaching job with the Florida Panthers.
In myriad ways, then, this was a team that jetted to a pre-competition camp in Vienna having been through plenty of adversity, on, and more important, off the ice.
Where did the belief come from to persevere in the inevitable showdown with the Americans?
"We had such a long season, on and off the ice, so, for us, being down 2-0 was nothing compared to what we went through this year," Szabados said. "The girls stayed poised and confident just kept the momentum going."
It was the second Olympic gold medal for Szabados, who backstopped Canada to a 2-0 shutout over the Americans in the gold-medal final at the 2010 Games in Vancouver.
But in Sochi, it had been Charline Labonte of Boisbriand, Que., who played goal when Canada defeated Team USA in the round robin, a 3-2 victory that halted Canada's losing streak against the Americans at four games.
But Dineen turned to Szabados for Canada's semifinal matchup against Switzerland, and put her right back in for the final against the Americans.
Dineen informed the goalies who was starting the night before each game. Did Dineen say anything special to Szabados when he told her the gold medal assignment was hers?
"He came up to me and he said, 'Are you ready?'
"I said, 'Yeah.'
"He said, 'OK, you were built for games like this, let's go.'"
Szabados' mother, Sharyl, who travelled to Sochi with Gary for the Games, said watching the gold medal game "was really hard — I was having heart failure."
Asked if Shannon might be up for another Games journey in 2018, though, Sharyl didn't hesitate.
"I think she's got one, or maybe even two more in her. We'll see."
With two Olympic gold medals on her resume already, Shannon Szabados wasn't prepared to commit to Pyeongchang, South Korea within minutes of having landed back in Edmonton.
"Not right now, I'm probably going to take it one year at time," Szabados said. "I'd love to do one more if I can, but we'll see."
Asked to characterize her two golden Olympic experiences, Szabados said they were different, neither one better nor more memorable than the other.
And yet.
"Leading up to this one, we kept getting asked how were we going to top winning 2-0 on home soil," Szabados said. "I don't know if we did, but we came pretty darn close, if we didn't."

Editor's note: Updated on Feb. 25, 2014 to correct Sinclair's hat trick was against the U.S. in the semi-final.

HealthySkin_v03a1 of 13
Wash This Way2 of 13
It's never too early to implement a basic skincare regimen that you follow throughout your life. Start with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, along with a daytime face lotion with at least SPF 30. Wash and moisturize before bed every night, smooth on the SPF every morning, and—if you're prone to flaky, clogged pores—de-gunk with a facial scrub once or twice a week in the shower. For sensitive skin, whip up a gentle scrub using brown sugar and honey.
Battle Breakouts3 of 13
Your teenage years may be well behind you, but many women in their 20s and early 30s are still plagued by the occasional rogue pimple. To control oil and kill bacteria, look for cleansers with salicylic and azelaic acid or, for a mild alternative, a natural tea tree oil treatment.
Have Fun4 of 13
But not too much fun. Overdoing it at happy hour can aggravate skin conditions like rosacea and break fragile capillaries. Drinking is also a serious hydration zapper. The fix? Down at least one full glass of water for every cocktail you finish.
Relax & Recharge5 of 13
If the decade before had a "work hard, play hard" mentality, then this decade is often the "work hard, work harder" one. With a high-octane career or young kids (or both!), it's easy to skimp on sleep. But getting those crucial eight hours a night goes a long way in maintaining gorgeous skin. The body rebuilds tissue and cells when we're in dreamland, and with prolonged sleep deprivation, skin woes like fine lines and splotchiness are more likely to develop early on.
Get Physical6 of 13
Working up a sweat does more than keep your ticker healthy—cardio-based exercise (anything that gets the heart pumping) promotes healthy circulation, which gives your skin that coveted rosy glow. And the fresh blood carries oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, while also carting away free radicals, a common enemy of youthful skin. Take that!
Give Me An A!7 of 13
With fine lines and discoloration starting to appear, this is the perfect decade to introduce retinoids into your skincare routine. Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives that unclog pores and speed cell turnover, while smoothing the surface of the skin. Prescription retinoid formulations come in different strengths; a dermatologist can help you decide which one will best service your epidermis.
Find Your Zen8 of 13
This is the decade when career goals come to fruition for many women. But be mindful of keeping that healthy work-to-play ratio. Stress shows up on your skin in various ways. The fight-or-flight hormone cortisol increases, revving up oil production, and your skin's barrier function can go haywire, resulting in water loss that makes skin's ability to repair itself more strained. Mitigate intense days with chill-inducing activities such as yoga, meditation and acupuncture.
Make A Change9 of 13
Yes, it's that time. The hot flashes of menopause hit around 51 leading to a drop in estrogen. As a result, collagen production slows and skin loses its density and elasticity. To counteract the effects, look for products packing alpha and beta hydroxy acids that help increase skin's thickness, as well as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which draw in moisture and keep skin plump and hydrated.
Look On The Bright Side10 of 13
Hyperpigmentation, fueled by hormonal changes and sun damage, can leave your complexion looking splotchy. To even out your skin tone, there's a crop of new brightening treatments featuring ingredients such as hydroquinone, azelaic and kojic acids, vitamin C, mulberry extract and niacinamide.
Eat This Up11 of 13
A diet full of good fats yields a good face. Cells rely on fatty acids to maintain the vigor of its membranes, which hug nutrients and water to the actual cell. As we age, cells have a harder time holding on to water. Help them out by replacing saturated fats with monounsaturated fats (found in walnuts, avocado and olive oil) and polyunsaturated fats (like in salmon and sunflower oil).
Stay Sun Smart12 of 13
You've been shielding your skin from aging UV rays for years, and there's no reason to stop now. If your skin has become more sensitive, then look for a sunscreen that provides a physical barrier against the sun—not a potentially irritating chemical one. Ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are now fine enough that they won't leave a haze of white residue on your skin.
Be A Natural13 of 13
It may be tempting to invest in products loaded with potent (and expensive) anti-aging ingredients in this decade, but treating skin with harsh acids and other serious exfoliators can backfire, leaving it thinner and less smooth-looking than before. Instead, consider ingredients straight from nature, such as pomegranate, basil, grape seed, green tea, ginseng and acai berry extracts. On the whole, botanicals tend to be gentler than their chemically wrought counterparts, but no less rejuvenating.

Do we need a better gun law?by Opinion Staff
Florida law said Paul Merhige could buy firearms. Common sense would disagree.
The man who killed four family members on Thanksgiving night in Jupiter purchased four weapons in the weeks before the shooting, even though he had been taking an anti-psychotic drug and even though a sister once had obtained a restraining order against him. State and federal law restricts firearms purchases if a court has ruled that someone is "mentally defective" or has been involuntarily committed to a mental institution.
The danger, of course, is classifying someone with any mental illness as a potential threat. That isn't the case. Merhige's family also may bear some blame, since they had worried about him for more than a decade. Still, even before the tragedy, many people would have said that Merhige shouldn't be able to buy the weapons. And without the weapons, there would have been no tragedy.
We think that the state should review its rules. What do you think? Could a better law have stopped Paul Merhige? Take our poll.

A Wisconsin brewery gets slapped by the Federal Aviation Administration after delivering beer to ice fishermen via a method that's currently illegal.
A joint review by the FAA and Boeing concludes that the next-generation airplane is safe and makes a series of recommendations that Boeing should follow going forward.
New rule prohibits non-essential use of laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices to prevent crew member distraction during flights.
While still far from giving a thumbs up to unmanned flying vehicles crowding the skies, the government agency recommends that some drones be allowed.
The Kindle Fire HD, the Kindle Fire HDX 7, and the regular Kindle are 15 percent off Monday following the FAA ruling expanding the use of electronic devices.
The FAA now says that it's fine and dandy for airline passengers to use their electronic devices in all phases of flight, including takeoff and landing. Here's how the rule change could affect your future flights.
Listening to music right before takeoff? Perusing an e-reader when coming in for landing? You may no longer have to power down. An FAA committee wants to loosen the policy for gadget use on airplanes.
The US government picked several projects designed to get a grip on unmanned aerial vehicle safety, communication, navigation, air traffic control, and more.
Agency expects airlines to begin letting you use your electronic devices -- in airplane mode -- from departure to arrival by the end of the year.
With the new approved plans, airlines could have the 787 Dreamliners up and running within weeks.

For your rabble-rousing Valentine, #Activistpickuplines
Freelance writer and activist Suey Park, who started the #NotYourAsianSidekick trend, created a new hashtag trending on Twitter just in time for Valentine's Day: #ActivistPickupLines.
Buzzfeed of course is on the case, and they report that Park, 23, was inspired to create the hashtag by a student who told her, "I'm down for the struggle and the snuggle."
The hashtag is still trending now, and though not all of them are gold, you can see a lot of them here.
In the meantime, here are a few of our favorites.

JT Cigarro may face charges over smoking ban 'loophole'Public health director plans to file complaint
FARGO – A cigar lounge here that is attempting to skirt the statewide smoking ban may soon be facing legal action.
By: Erik Burgess, INFORUM
FARGO – A cigar lounge here that is attempting to skirt the statewide smoking ban may soon be facing legal action.
The director of Fargo Cass Public Health said she plans to file a complaint with Cass County prosecutors against the owner of JT Cigarro, who has been allowing people to continue smoking in a "members only" room through what he has called a "loophole" in the law.
Ruth Bachmeier said she has attempted for weeks to reach out to bar owner Dana Coulter to get him in compliance with the law, but she is hitting a wall.
"I don't anticipate that by our education we're going to change the mindset," Bachmeier said. "He believes that he's found a loophole, and no amount of education is going to change how he is interpreting the law."
Just before the ban went into effect Dec. 6, Coulter told The Forum he would allow customers to smoke in a room inside his bar under an exemption to the ban that allows smoking in areas "not commonly accessible to the public and which is part of an owner operated business having no employee other than the owner operator."
Coulter believes a club called Level he owns and operates by himself in the same building as JT Cigarro falls under this exemption. One must pay a fee to join the club, Coulter said, and members are provided an electronic key card to gain access. Those without keys or who have not paid membership dues are not allowed into the area.
Bachmeier said she has been documenting what has occurred at JT Cigarro, including multiple attempts to speak to Coulter and her own observations of customers smoking indoors. She plans to present the information to the state's attorney's office within a week.
Because the ban is state law, the state's attorney's office is responsible with pressing charges after receiving such a complaint, said Assistant City Attorney Jason Loos, who has been providing legal advice to public health officials.
"In this case, it's an interpretation of the law," Loos said. "Dana's not denying what he's doing. It's not like anyone needs to catch him at it. It's just a matter of determining what the judge thinks."
Coulter said Wednesday that he has not spoken to anyone at Fargo Cass Public Health since the ban went into effect.
"I've had no complaints," he said. "In fact, to me, it's just business as usual."
Coulter would not say if he was expecting legal action but said he has sought legal counsel. He deferred all further questions to his attorney, Joel Fremstad. A message left for Fremstad at his Fargo office on Wednesday was not returned.
What the bar owner has already said to the media could make up part of the complaint, Loos said. Even though the smoking room is restricted to members, Loos believes Coulter is not in compliance because the "public" still has access to that room.
"Granted, the steps he's made give him a better argument, I don't think it gives him necessarily all that good of an argument," Loos said.
On a first offense, the law provides for a $100 fine to be dealt to business owners found to be not in compliance. If a second offense occurs within a year, the fine jumps to $200. Each additional offense within one year of the preceding violation carries a $500 fine.
The law also details that each day that the ban is not followed counts as a separate and distinct violation. Business owners can also have licenses suspended or revoked for not complying.

Purchased this fork to replace a worn out headshok system on my F-400. I commute daily and really like the rigidity of this fork. Fenders and racks are no problem to add as well. Great versatility and quality. The only slight downside is the wieght, but the fork feels so bombproof it doesn't bother me.

What the Press Are Saying:
As a complete package, Star Wars Pinball delivers the kind of arcade experience that makes you crave just one more game, constantly chasing to surpass your own score for the sheer satisfaction of it.
Desctructoid - 9.5/10
Each table is chock full of beautiful art, character cameos, and tracks pulled straight from the films' soundtracks. These first three tables are a bold and equally stellar introduction to Star Wars Pinball, and they'll keep you more than busy until Zen Studios drops the next batch.
Game Informer - 8.5/10
You don't need to be a Star Wars fan to recognize the creativity Zen has brought to the new tables. The company continues to include more fantasy elements in its designs.
The best thing about Star Wars Pinball is its jaw-dropping graphics. The many targets, ramps, rollovers, and kickers that make up its pinball course are all polished with incredible detail. Even the pinball itself is stunning, with its metallic surface realistically reflecting the ambient lights as it spins across the table. And the choreographed flashing of all these table elements really make you feel as though Zen Studios pulled out all the stops when making this game.
Penny Arcade Report (Ben Kuchera)
If you're a fan of pinball, Star Wars, or fun things, this is pretty much a must-purchase.

Healthful Indian Flavors-Episode 1
"Healthful Indian Flavors with Alamelu"
TV Series Begins: Jan. 7th, 2012 Saturday
Healthful Indian Flavors-Epsiode 2
"Healthful Indian Flavors with Alamelu"
Saturday (January 14) at 12:30 p.m. on channel 10.1
The weeping willow dances in the breeze, and so do I.
But the willow has a different choreographer, though sometimes I give it a try, try to choreograph the trees with my brush or pen,
and they dance according to my whim.
And sometimes the trees choreograph me,
not from just their outside appearance, from their in.
For when I paint on wood, I let the grain below
my brush tell it where to go.
In 1966 we moved to Milwaukee from New York City, and I fell in love with the people, the lake, the trees, and the circus parade. After years of drawing shoppers in Macy's and Gimbels or the throngs that rush and weave along Manhattan sidewalks, here I was painting, often on wood, all those things that made Milwaukee special to me.

12 Scams to Watch for in 2012
The Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin investigates fraud reports throughout the year and reveals twelve of the newest and/or most common scams that consumers should avoid in 2012.
- BBB Phishing Frustrations: Businesses and organizations around the country are receiving fraudulent complaint emails from scammers who are abusing BBB's name and reputation.
- Mortgage Relief Misleaders: Homeowners are tricked into paying large upfront fees for mortgage relief services and then companies disappear abruptly.
- Hotel Hoaxes: Hotel guests receive calls in their rooms - often late at night - claiming that front desk computers have crashed and credit card numbers are needed again; victims provide information, but callers are not hotel employees.
- Cheating Contractors: Homeowners are left with little recourse after door-to-door repairmen promise incredible deals, require large upfront fees and then skip out before completing work.
- Check cashing cons: Sellers receive checks for more than items are worth and are instructed to wire excess money back. Checks later bounce and victims are responsible for lost funds.
- Social Media Scams: Victims are sent "popular" viral videos on social networking sites, but must upgrade software to view files. Downloads may install malware or viruses that place victims at risk for identity theft.
- Swindling Sweepstakes: Consumers who did not enter sweepstakes or foreign lotteries are informed that they have won large sums of money or other prizes and must pay smaller sums in order to collect; payments are made and nothing is received.
- Canine Cons: Scammers set up a fake website selling non-existent puppies for rock-bottom prices. Victims wire money to the so-called seller, but never receive their puppy.
- Pay the Con Artist Using Pre-Paid Debit Cards. Since consumers are getting wise to wiring money or fake checks, many scammers now prefer to be paid using untraceable, pre-paid debit cards.
- Timeshare Shams: In this tough real estate market, timeshare sellers should beware of companies that claim to already have a buyer and want upfront fees.
- Job Scams: Scammers are working overtime to take advantage of the high number of people looking for jobs, especially online.
- Lousy Legal Advice: Some scammers are offering low-cost legal advice, but don't have any legal qualifications. The only problem? The consumer may end up in even more legal trouble.
Report scams to BBB through Scam Source at bbb.org/scam-source. To find reputable businesses, visit bbb.org/find-business-reviews. Consumers can also receive news alerts from the Wisconsin BBB by following us on Twitter or liking us on Facebook.

Looking Ahead To MPTV Cooking Series (Epsiode 3-13)
I am thankful that so many of you took the time to send me feedback about the first three episodes of my MPTV series titled, "Healthful Indian Flavors with Alamelu". I hope you are enjoying the cooking shows on MPTV. I want to let you know that I have prepared many of the dishes from my shows for kids in middle schools. I found their response to be one of excitement and enjoyment in trying the flavorful foods. Cooking is love and is very nurturing. As Pensey says, "Love people, cook them tasty food"!
Let's look ahead and see what is coming up on MPTV on Saturdays at 12:30PM on Channel 10, with repeats on Sundays at 2PM on Channel 36 and 16, and on Fridays at 6PM on Channel 10. Shall we?

When my son was around 3 years old, he used to ask me a lot of questions about heaven. Where is it? How do people walk without a body? How will I find you? You know the questions that kids ask.
For over a year, I lied to him and made up stories that I didn't believe about heaven. Like most parents, I love my child so much that I didn't want him to be scared. I wanted him to feel safe and loved and full of hope. But the trade-off was that I would have to make stuff up, and I would have to brainwash him into believing stories that didn't make sense, stories that I didn't believe either.
One day he would know this, and he would not trust my judgment. He would know that I built an elaborate tale—not unlike the one we tell children about Santa—to explain the inconsistent and illogical legend of God.
And so I thought it was only right to be honest with my children. I am a non-believer, and for years I've been on the fringe in my community. As a blogger, though, I've found that there are many other parents out there like me. We are creating the next generation of kids, and there is a wave of young agnostics, atheists, free thinkers and humanists rising up through the ranks who will, hopefully, lower our nation's religious fever.

So while this website is all about finding laptops for college students, I do want to take a moment to breifly talk about the iPad.
First off, I want to make it clear that I do not think the iPad is a replacement for laptops.
There are certainly a number of activities you can do on the iPad which are as easy to do, and in some cases easier, than a laptop – but that is the point of the device. There are things which are a bit clumsy on laptops – and desktops for that matter. Some activities which i prefer to do on my iPad vs my laptop include email, web browsing, and brainstorming big projects (via mind mapping…which is really cool on a tablet).
What is important to note is that the iPad is forcing a transformation in the way we interact with our technology and digital information. This is something which can't be avoided, no matter how much you might decide to ignore it.
So with all that being said, while you are busy trying to find laptops for college use – consider also an iPad as part of your repertoire (who knows, maybe you can combine the two and spend less on a laptop).

Summer Food Program
Food + Fun = Healthy Summer for Kids
When the final school bells ring and summer break begins, millions of kids are at risk of going hungry. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 30 million children receive free or reduced-cost meals through the National School Lunch Program, but only 2.3 million of these kids continue to receive meals through the USDA's Summer Food Service Program.
As part of our commitment to keeping kids healthy, the Y and Walmart Foundation are partnering to provide 4 million meals and snacks to 100,000 kids and teens this summer. Youth between ages 5-18 can participate in the program to get their "fill of food and fun" – receiving nutritious meals and snacks, while also enjoying recreational and learning activities to keep their bodies and minds active.
The Y's summer food programs will be available at nearly 800 sites in communities large and small. To participate, see the locator map to find a program near you. And, check out our blog (coming soon) to learn more about our summer food programs at Ys nationwide.
BLOG TOUR: YMCA of Greater San Antonio (San Antonio, TX): September 3rd, 2013
By: Laura Waldrum
The YMCA of Greater San Antonio's Summer Food Program provides summer meals to over 2,230 children at 12 sites.
Ray is one of 260 children part of the Walzem Family YMCA 's Summer Food Program. Ray has had a blast this summer learning new things and making new friends. His favorite part of camp is playing games in the gym. As part of our Summer Day Camp program, we offer 30 minutes of physical activity to all our children. "If there are any kids out there that wants something fun to do during the summer, they should come to the Y," says Ray. "You get to have fun with your friends, eat healthy food and play fun games!"
Gabby is also a camper at the Walzem Family YMCA's Summer Day Camp. Gabby loves day camp because she is able to meet new friends, play fun games in the gym and do arts and crafts activities. The morning this photo was taken her group made papier mâché dinosaur eggs.
For Gabby, the highlight of day camp is the healthy, nutritious food she receives. "We don't have a lot of food at home," Gabby says. "Here we have a really nice breakfast, a snack and a warm lunch. The pizza and burritos are awesome!"
BLOG TOUR: YMCA of Greater Boston (Boston, MA): September 3rd, 2013
By: Gail Klimas
Our Summer Food Program serves over 3,000 daily meals at 23 sites throughout Boston. In local Y's, community centers, parks and beaches - we are doing our part to provide nutritious food, activities, and games. The YMCA of Greater Boston is also addressing summer learning loss. We hold summer programs in several teen centers, which offer free evening programs that encourage local youth to socialize in a safe environment.
The core of our Summer Food Program is located at the East Boston YMCA. This site provides daily meals at the Bremen Street Park. We also provide meals at Constitution Beach, further up the road. All of our sites are open to new comers as well as returning members. Each meal we serve meets standards set and approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and YMCA of the USA's Healthy Living department. In all of our programs we promote the National Afterschool Association Standards for Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (HEPA).
At the Constitution Beach of East Boston, six year old Lizbeth Careamo (accompanied by her older sister and mother) comes to enjoy the healthy meals we provide. When asked why she likes the Summer Food Program she responded, "I get to come and eat great food with my friends and family! I get to eat healthy every day".
At the Greater Boston YMCA we are working hard to develop new partnerships, particularly in areas of the city that are classified as food deserts (areas where there is poor access to healthy foods). We recently developed a new community partnership with the Eritrean Community Center which is located in one of Boston's food deserts.
We hope to expand our Summer Food Program by connecting with more community partners; we want to ensure that every child leads a healthy, active life.

By: Nicole Lowe and Brooke Kircher
Meal Outreach and Positive Role Models
As part of our Summer Food Program, we run a meal outreach program that feeds children from low income housing facilities in Lake City. We pick up children and bring them to our camp. It is truly rewarding to see these children having fun. Through our Summer Food Program, they come to learn that they have positive role models right by their side.
BLOG TOUR: YMCA of Greater Seattle (Seatac, Washington): August 6th, 2013
By: Nicole Lowe
We want our kids to be physically active this summer. At our Matt Griffin site, soccer games bring our community together: staff and children divide up into teams and parents are poised at the sidelines. Every kick, goal and show of sportsmanship is cheered and celebrated. The smiles on the children's faces could not get any bigger.
One child said to me, "this is the best place in the world! I try my best and everyone yells, yeah! I have never been good at sports, now I know, I am not good…I'm great!" That is what it is all about- giving children what they need to thrive, flourish, and succeed on their path. Truly amazing!
BLOG TOUR: YMCA of Greater Seattle (Algona, Washington): August 5th, 2013
By: Nicole Lowe
The city of Algona, where our Y is located, is small. With a population of 3,074 residents, a little under half of our residents are children under 18. Getting a nutritious lunch during the summer is difficult for them. In partnership with the city, our Y offers healthy lunches to children and organizes fun, exciting activities.
During the first week of our Summer Food Program, kids planned and chose the activities they wanted to do. The list had over 75 activities!
Here is a quick snapshot of the water balloon day held at our Y, when temperatures reached 90 degrees! Playing water balloon toss with 60 children, most of them 6 years and younger, was challenging and fun. Despite the hot weather, the kids hung in there, changing up their tosses and working in groups. The activity taught us to collaborate and work in teams.
At Algona, we also run a library. Each child gets to choose a book and take it home for the weekend. The library gives children the opportunity to read, explore and learn during the summer.
Through our Summer Food Program, we provide children with a fun, healthy and educational summer!
BLOG TOUR: Hopkins County Family YMCA (Madisonville, KY): July 24th, 2013
By: Whitney Johnson
The Hopkins County Family YMCA offers a free Summer Food Program thanks to a significant grant from the Walmart Foundation, ensuring that fewer children go hungry this summer. While more than 30 million children in low-income communities receive free or reduced-cost meals during the school year, only 2.3 million of these same children have access to free meals during the summer school break.
Combining food and fun, our program provides nutritious meals and snacks as well as runs activities to keep kids' minds and bodies active. Our Summer Food Program is from May 22 to August 6 and serves children 18 years and younger. The Hopkins County Family YMCA serves breakfast, lunch, and supper at various locations in Madisonville, White Plains and Dawson Springs.
To reach more kids who may be unable to visit the Y, the Hopkins County Family YMCA is taking our Summer Food Program out into the community by van, reaching six remote areas in Madisonville: Madisonville Apartments, Rosenwald Playground, Pride Avenue Playground, Carter's Chapel Church, Pennyrile Apartments, and Chateau Trailer Park. Approximately 165 meals are served each day on the mobile route.
During the school year, Hopkins County Family YMCA will also serve healthy meals and snacks in its afterschool program to provide kids with nourishment and academic enrichment.
BLOG TOUR: La Crosse Area Family YMCA (La Crosse, WI): July 19th, 2013
By: Jennie Melde (Childcare Operations Director)
This summer, the La Cross Area Family YMCA will serve over 40,500 meals. This takes teamwork, coordinating logistics, excellent communication, and a great plan. Our Y is committed to feeding kids healthy meals throughout the summer. Not only do we want children to be full and well-nourished, but also we want to ensure they are getting the nutrients they need. This is why we are committed to serving fresh fruits and vegetables at every meal.
Our Y purchases all food from a distributer. After they deliver the food, we coordinate sorting, packing, and delivery of meals to 11 offsite locations. Thanks to our wonderful food service team the food is delivered, sorted, packed, and distributed to sites every Monday.
Our menus include a four-week cycle menu that provides a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and protein foods. Three of our locations are offer a "super snack," where our children receive five food groups instead of two. Through our super snack, they remain well-nourished after their entire day of activities and go home with full bellies. For some of our children, their last meal of the day is the one they eat through our Summer Food Program.
A mother in some of our neediest locations said she was so thankful that her child could attend our program, receive meals, and have a full day of activity. She can now go to work and start earning money to move out of the Salvation Army, where she and her child currently live. This summer, we will impact 750 children and their families.
Staying Fit While Eating Healthy- Swimming Classes at the La Crosse Area Family YMCA
At the La Crosse Area Family YMCA, we believe that every child deserves a healthy, active summer. All our programs are committed to implementing the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity standards. In addition to our Summer Food Program, we have incorporated swim lessons into our summer health activities. Here is what one mom has to say about her son starting swim lessons at a new school site this summer:
"Sam loves it there. He's doing awesome with the swim lessons (and that's huge… this is a kid who would not really ever get in the water, but, Tuesday night he told me he was floating on his front and back, swimming with two noodles) and just having a great time during the day. You have awesome staff there. We were thrilled when we found out Joe (a Y staff member) would be there. It helped immensely to have him there that first day when Sam was really unsure. I told Sam, 'I give him a lot of credit for walking into that situation, not knowing a soul and just getting right in there.'"
BLOG TOUR: North River YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga (Chattanooga, Tennessee): July 15th, 2013
By: Emily Broadrick and Jessica Chadwell
In January of 2011, the Chattanooga YMCA began a new program designed to bring nutrition education and physical activity to daycare facilities within our community. From its small beginning, serving nine daycares twice a week, the Mobile Fit Team has grown to take on a much larger role.
A typical routine as a Mobile Fit Team member begins at 6:00 a.m., prepping meals to be served at different sites throughout the day. By the end of their shifts, individual members prepare an average of 250 meals. In all, our team prepares a total of 2000 meals a day.
After food prep, the Mobile Fit team member creates an activity plan that includes physical activity and nutrition education for the two to three feeding sites they will visit that day.
Teams arrive at their sites with coolers of meals in tow. They begin with some physical activity, using the CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) curriculum. The staff leads non-elimination CATCH games that create an inclusive environment so that all participants feel included and successful regardless of age and athletic ability.
Following the games, the meals are served to any child under the age of 18 wanting to participate. During lunch, the children are given a short nutrition lesson. Following lunch and cleanup, the staff proceeds to the next feeding site, starting the process again.
Over the course of the summer, our staff will become familiar and dependable faces throughout the communities of Chattanooga. At the end of ten weeks of Mobile Fit and the Summer Food Program, rewarding relationships are formed between our staff and children. These bonds leave a lasting impact on the hearts of everyone involved. There is no greater reward than knowing that you have made a difference for a child in need.
BLOG TOUR: North River YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga (Chattanooga, Tennessee): July 3rd, 2013
By: Emily Broadrick and Jessica Chadwell
In early May, planning began for the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga's Summer Food Program. We set out with the goal of surpassing last summer's success of serving almost 40,000 meals to children in the Chattanooga community.
There is a need for nutritious, free meals for children in our community. We run food sites at parks, recreation centers, subsidized housing, YMCA day camps, sports ministries, and school tutoring programs.
All breakfasts, lunches, and snacks meet or exceed USDA requirements of a complete meal. They also contain a nutrition fact related to one of the items in the meal. The menu runs on a ten-day cycle with healthy and creative entrées such as a "Build Your Own Pizza" and a "Summer Chicken Salad." Vegetarian options are also incorporated in the menu cycle with alternatives like a black bean salad or a soy-butter sandwich.
Since most operating sites are located in Chattanooga's Food Desserts, new foods are introduced to children every day. At the beginning of the summer, the kids were selective with what they would actually eat from their brown bags. With time, we have seen once picky eaters become more adventurous in trying new foods. The ultimate goal of our program is to provide sustenance to hungry children. Of course, we are also overjoyed to see a child choose a banana over a bag of potato chips. One of our goals this summer is to teach and encourage healthy food choices among children who participate in our Summer Food Program.
The YMCA Chattanooga Summer Food Program is proud to say that, by the end of the summer, we will have provided almost 100,000 meals throughout our community.
BLOG TOUR: YMCA of Cape Cod (Cape Cod, MA): June 24th, 2013
By: Michele O'Brien
YMCA of Cape Cod has many members who are part of the "Two Bite Club," where kids try out and experience new foods. Through the Summer Food Service Program, we have a great opportunity to expose kids to healthy and new foods that they may not receive at home. It has been a lot of fun too!
We added some cool, new healthy foods to the menu. The kids weren't sure how to eat kiwi – "the strange, fuzzy, and round fruit"- so we served the kiwi with a sheet of options on how to eat it. They loved cutting it in half and scooping out the insides to gobble down! When we served hummus for the first time, a lot of the kids didn't even want to try it. We gave them a pouch of baby carrots and dared them to try it. Shortly after, they saw hummus on the menu again and started chanting, "Hummus cups! Hummus cups!" and dug right in. Hummus has now become a favorite item.
Thinking outside the box is challenging but is necessary. Three summers ago, we were given a great opportunity through a USDA grant. The Home Delivered Meals (HDM) program is the product of that grant, a little creative thinking, and a lot of hard work. The program is similar to the Meals on Wheels program for the elderly. HDM serves children from infancy to age 18. HDM serves breakfast and lunch to 200 children in our community, seven days a week, during summer vacation right to their front doors. We are now reaching children that previously weren't able to make it to open food sites due to transportation issues. We fill the bags with delicious and nutritious food as well as brochures on community resources. HDM has helped us serve children and families in our community in a whole new way!
BLOG TOUR: YMCA of Cape Cod (Cape Cod, MA): June 19th, 2013
By: Michele O'Brien
As a child, June was an exciting time with the school year ending and summer vacation right around the corner. It has now taken on a new meaning. June is now a time for the Cape Cod Y to reconnect with the families we serve and to work closely with our community partners.
We have held many smoothie socials throughout our community. This has been a great opportunity to hang out with the children we serve while the parents sit with our outreach coordinator and sign up for activities under our Summer Food Program.
At the Cape Cod Y, we sat down with our community partners and brainstormed ways to make this season and our Y's Summer Food Program even better. We put our creative hats on and came up with fun ways to get the kids excited about getting their free lunch.
This summer, we are bringing back something from my childhood, "Sticker Day." On special days, one lucky child at each site will have a huge Y sticker on the inside of their lunch bag. This lucky child will receive a special book we have purchased. Through "Sticker Day," we hope to promote healthy eating as well as reading for pleasure and staying mentally active throughout the summer.
June has also become a time to savor each moment. The summer goes by so quickly, and it would be easy to get caught up in the paperwork, planning, and menus. I choose to take moments from my day and connect with the children and families we serve through our Summer Food Program!

Macbook Air alternatives
Hey guys,
I know that this is a MAC forum, therefore we 'should' only talk about apple computers, but in my opinion it is always nice to see what the competition is doing and how it compares to our lovely Air.
Lately I've been hearing a lot about Windows 8 and the great new products (ultrabooks in this particular case) launching with it. Anyway, I think it would be interesting to see how they stand against the Air. Software (and OS) aside, I think that there are a bunch of solid alternatives with fairly good prices, specs and design. I find Asus laptops particularly impressive; with dual Full-HD touchscreen computers, tablet-laptop hybrids and entry level ultrabooks nicely designed and fairly well speckd...
So what do you guys think? Is there any laptop out there that could be called a Macbook Air replacement?? If so, please live a comment with a bit of information about it; pros/cons, price, performance, looks or whatever you consider relevant.

Brewers have been Wrigley North until this year and I'm always a fan of mid-market teams winning over the big spenders (unless it's the Cubs).
But but but! ::sputter:: ::hyperventilate::
In the NL central I'll take the Brew over the Cards, Reds, Astros not to mention that they represent beer
Well, it ain't the former, as I live on the coast under perpetual fog, but you might be right on the latter.
Seriously, THE MUTHERFING CARDS I think your getting too much sun or your crops have turned.
I guess that I'm more used to the Cards winning the Series (they've actually played in 5 WS in my lifetime, winning twice). But you'd rather see Braun's jerk-off smile over LaRussa's smug grin?
I'd prefer Braun and LaRussa have a black box over their face during games, but I'd prefer having to see Braun's douchebag face e every single day vs. the Cards ever having success. Time to get some new crops buddy
