Studies have shown that sharing dinner as family can help kids form good eating habits and boost their self esteem. But by sitting down to eat a meal with your children, you can also teach your kids the art of communication. Celebrity chef and mom Cat Cora gives Away We Grow host Diane Mizota her tips for helping kids open up at the dinner table.
VIDEO: Make dinnertime your family destination
When not co-hosting the Bravo series "Around the World in 80 Plates" or working on her many culinary-related projects, Cora is with her four sons. As a kid, Cora had dinner with her parents every single night of the week. Her memories of that special time with her mom and dad clearly influence her desire to carry on the tradition in her own family. She says, "I knew my parents cared. I knew that they were involved. I knew that they loved me. It does really make a difference to gather, and it gets to be quality time."
But Cora's secret weapon to get her boys to the table starts before dinner when she serves up an appetizer or two so her kids aren't starving at dinnertime. "Whether it's some carrots, a little bit of snap peas or something with a low-fat ranch dressing or something to dip it in. It kind of tides them over before dinners," says Cora. "Plus it's a great way to get them to the table and everybody talks about their day, or maybe they're drawing a picture or maybe they're doing homework."Once the meal is underway, Cora suggests that parents ask their kids specific questions instead of open-ended queries that usually garner one-worded responses. "We like to say, what did you draw today? What friend did you play with today? Ask them very specific questions because when you ask a 5 year old a 6 year old, even a 9 year old, a very open-ended question, they're gonna say, 'I don't know. It was okay."
Cora also recommends that parents infuse family dinnertime with unique traditions from their own childhoods. "I think it's cool to kind of make traditional nights, you know, in the household. Right now the kids' big night is Friday night because it's pizza and movie night in our house...we make that really fun for them."

Eye HealthLifestyle Topics
EyeSmart Tips
Eye Protection Works
Wearing the proper protective eyewear for sports and other activities can help prevent 90% of eye injuries.
Eye Makeup
Throw out eye makeup after three months to prevent infection. If you get an eye infection, replace makeup immediately.
Replace the Case
Contact lens cases should be replaced at least every three months to prevent eye infection.
Misaligned Eyes
Children don't outgrow misaligned eyes. See an ophthalmologist for treatment to preserve your child's good vision.
Jumping a Battery
Take precautions to prevent eye injury. Never lean over the battery and always wear safety goggles.
What Is an Ophthalmologist?
Make sure you are seeing the right eye care provider for your condition or treatment.
Are You Fit at 40?
A baseline eye exam is recommended at age 40, when the signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
Eye protection means more than just wearing the contact lenses or glasses you may use for vision correction. The type of eye protection needed will depend on the activity you are involved in.
For most repair projects and activities around the home, standard ANSI-approved protective eyewear will be sufficient. For many work situations, the same protection you use at home will suffice, but there are important exceptions you need to know about. Sports eye protection should meet the specific requirements of that sport; these requirements are usually established and certified by the sport's governing body and/or the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
Protection in the Home
The American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma recommend that every household have at least one pair of ANSI-approved protective eyewear to be worn when doing project or activities that could create a risk for eye injuries at home.
Choose protective eyewear with "ANSI Z87.1" marked on the lens or frame. This means the glasses, goggles or face shield meets the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 safety standard. ANSI-approved protective eyewear can be easily purchased from most hardware stores nationwide.
To determine if your activity merits eye protection, consider if it will involve:
- Use of hazardous chemicals or other substances that could damage your eyes upon contact;
- Flying debris or other small particles. Note that both active participants and bystanders can be at risk from such activities;
- Projectiles or objects that could fly into the eyes unexpectedly.
Bottom line: use common sense and be EyeSmart, especially if there are children around for whom you're setting an example.
Protection at Work
The eye protection needed to do your job safely is determined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). To find out what standards apply, check with your company's human resources department, or whoever is charged with overseeing OSHA compliance.
With the exception of welding, which requires additional eye and face protection, OSHA standards may often require the same ANSI-certified eye protection at work that you should use at home.
Protection at Play
The eye protection needed to prevent eye injuries in your sport is determined by various standards set by ASTM. The eye-safety standards by sport are as follows:
- ASTM F803: Eye protectors for selected sports (racket sports, women's lacrosse [see the U.S. Lacrosse website for more details], field hockey, baseball, basketball);
- ASTM F513: Eye and face protective equipment for hockey players;
- ASTM F1776: Eye protectors for use by players of paintball sports;
- ASTM F1587: Head and face protective equipment for ice hockey goaltenders;
- ASTM F910: Face guards for youth baseball; and
- ASTM F659: High-impact resistant eye protective devices for Alpine skiing.
Protective glasses or goggles with UV protection should be worn when snow or water skiing. They will help shield the eyes from sunburn and glare.

text: South Africa Although apartheid is not longer legal in this growing country, you can still see the marks of this "separateness" in the shacks of Soweto. However, the hope of complete transformation can be found when meeting with various business, educational, and religious leaders that see the opportunity for change and have a vision and a passion to see it come to fruition. These leaders will show you how to take a broken land and cultivate compassion and grace through effective practices. This trip will open your eyes to the adventure of the African safari, the busyness of an African market, the pain that AIDS has brought to communities, and the hope that can be found through Christ-centered organizations. Cost $4,500 covers transportation, lodging and cultural excursions with the group. The cost of this trip is not included in BUS-511 course tuition. Note: Trip costs and itineraries are subject to change at the discretion of PGS. Scheduled Dates January 16-25, 2015 - Register by July 16, 2014 Students planning to participate in the South Africa trip should apply for their passports at least five months prior to their departure date and refer to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Travelers' Health Web page for immunization information.

NewsPress Release - 27 September, 2000Sandglass Theater Presents "The Pig Act"
MARLBORO, VT - In the moment when all is lost, when the ground is pulled out from under one's feet, one thinks of survival. One turns to risky act after risky act, pushing one further outside towards the margins of existence. On what, then, can the soul move?
This is the question posed in "The Pig Act" at 8 p.m. Wednesday, October 25, in Marlboro College's Whittemore Theater.
Through metaphorical imagery and black humor, "The Pig Act" presents a humorous and unusual circus performance that develops to the point of life and death.
Lynne Greenley, professor of theater at the University of Vermont, says "The artistry, the profundity, the humor, and the sophisticated level of inquiry render The Pig Act a classic not only of puppetry, but of performance."
Performed by gifted puppeteers Finn Campman, Ines Zeller Bass, and Dave Regan, The Pig Act features striking visual images with Sandglass Theater's beautifully crafted figures. The Pig Act uses minimal language and speaks through its imagery.
This play is for adult audiences. The Whittemore Theater is fully accessible. This performance is free and open to the public. For more information, please call (802) 387-4051 or visit Marlboro College online at www.marlboro.edu.

Educational Philosophy:
Design: Design is both creative and meticulous. It is a process that involves generating ideas, then editing and refining those ideas before producing the final result. The steps in the deisign process are universal and can be applied to any design problem, whether it is a written document, the design of a space or the design of a product.
Teaching: As a teacher I articulate what I have learned as a professional, sharing my accumulated knowledge and skills with the students. This information is the basis for a variety of activities that reinforce core learning objectives. Students observe, evaluate , collaborate and create as they approach each assignment as a design problem. Students communicate design concepts visually and orally using drawing, drafting, board building and modeling techniques.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes

Late Submission of Course Materials:
Classroom Rules of Conduct:
· Group interaction speeds learning and increases the depth of study for all. Feedback from the instructor is an important element of learning, and whether in lecture class discussion or a studio setting, the feedback may be given to one student and the resulting information shared with all.
· Students are expected to come to class prepared to participate with books as supplies as needed. The studio and computer lab will be available for students' use when the rooms are not scheduled for other classes.
· Students are expected to work a minimum of six hours a week outside of class, in addition to making full use of class time.
· A professional and respectful attitude toward the instructor and fellow students is expected. Tardiness, leaving before class is dismissed, and other class disruptions (such as phone calls) will be noted and reflected in the final grade.
Course Topic/Dates/Assignments:
A schedule of course topics, due dates and assignments is attached to this syllabus.
Academic Honesty:Academic integrity is the foundation of the academic community. Because each student has the primary responsibility for being academically honest, students are advised to read and understand all sections of this policy relating to standards of conduct and academic life. Park University students and faculty members are encouraged to take advantage of the University resources available for learning about academic honesty (www.park.edu/current or http://www.park.edu/faculty/).from Park University 2011-2012 Undergraduate Catalog Page 93
Plagiarism:Plagiarism involves the use of quotations without quotation marks, the use of quotations without indication of the source, the use of another's idea without acknowledging the source, the submission of a paper, laboratory report, project, or class assignment (any portion of such) prepared by another person, or incorrect paraphrasing. from Park University 2011-2012 Undergraduate Catalog Page 93
Attendance Policy:Instructors are required to maintain attendance records and to report absences via the online attendance reporting system.
Park University 2011-2012 Undergraduate Catalog Page 96INSTRUCTOR'S ATTENDANCE POLICY:
• Class attendance is required. An attendance sheet will be passed around at the beginning of each class while announcements are being made. It is the student's responsibility to sign the attendance sheet at this time. Do not hold the attendance sheet for fellow classmates who are late.
• Students who do not sign the attendance sheet, but arrive after it is distributed, will be considered tardy. Three late arrivals will equal one unexcused absence.
• In case of illness or emergency, the instructor must be notified before noon on the day of the absence. Notification must be in writing and sent via e-mail. Each student will be allowed three absences, which, if proper notification is sent, will be recorded as "excused."
• Thus each of the following will result in a 5% deduction from the final grade:
1. Three late arrivals, equaling one unexcused absence.
2. Any absence that is not excused by sending e-mail notification.
3. The fourth and each subsequent absence, regardless of excuse.
Disability Guidelines:Park University is committed to meeting the needs of all students that meet the criteria for special assistance. These guidelines are designed to supply directions to students concerning the information necessary to accomplish this goal. It is Park University's policy to comply fully with federal and state law, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, regarding students with disabilities. In the case of any inconsistency between these guidelines and federal and/or state law, the provisions of the law will apply. Additional information concerning Park University's policies and procedures related to disability can be found on the Park University web page: http://www.park.edu/disability .

text: Holly Spangler Corn, Beans and the Wild Kingdom My Generation Corn and soybeans across Illinois need rain, and barns need relief from raccoons. Are they related? Published on: May 30, 2012 I'm having two semi-unrelated thoughts today. First, I was just sorting through photos I took earlier this morning. They are of the farmer in his corn field, and I can't help but notice that even at 9:30 a.m. on a lovely 60-degree morning, the corn is curling up. This is not good. This past Sunday, following the Spangler family trip to Monicals Pizza, we took a drive through the country on our way home and man, was the corn rolled up tight in self-preservation. This was on the second day in a row of 90-plus degree days and no measurable rain since the first week in May. Indeed, we have beans that have no real reason for having come up. Clearly, they found some moisture down there somewhere, but it sure wasn't from recent rainfall. We did catch a tenth in the gauge Monday evening, which settled the dust and maybe made the yard slightly less brown. I travelled through much of northern Illinois last week and they had the same story. Everyone needs rain. Hopefully, they caught some of the weekend showers, but it certainly looked spotty. Second, has anyone else noticed a ridiculously large raccoon population this spring? I have a friend in Iowa who's battling raccoons in her barn, but I haven't heard much around here. Without going into too many gory details, it's been like Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom around here. They're in the barn, breaking into cat food, digging up my plants, tipping over flower pots, and last night I stepped out on the porch and there was a coon! Right on the back porch! No, thank you. That must end. Again, without going into too many gory details, we have discovered ways of, ahem, dealing with this problem. And I'll also add that our research has shown that when a raccoon is discovered in a live trap in the barn, a little boy's morning productivity sharply decreases. Like, to none. The research is limited but, I believe, conclusive. So my question: does the crazy dry weather have anything to do with an exploding and intrusive raccoon population? And is anyone else having this same problem? And are the small male members of your household completely obsessed with eliminating the problem? Please keep me posted.

CLOVER — Kinard student Aleyah Carter appreciates River Hills Lions Club's ROARing Readers.
Aleyah, now a fifth-grader, was with the first group of Roaring Readers when she was in second grade.
Lions Katzy and CJ Nager started the program four years ago with second-graders only. Each student received three Scholastic books during the year and weekly visits from Lions as reading buddies. Since then, the program has expanded to include third-, fourth- and fifth-graders.
"I hope they are here at Kinard when my little sisters come here," she said, explaining that six months ago she became a big sister to identical twins.
She also hopes the program spreads to middle school.

New for 2015: We are offering an Advanced Research Residency in Language and Law
Postgraduate Students
I am interested in supervising PhD students in areas related to language and/in legal settings, particularly policing, language and workplaces and ecolinguistics. Work which draws on ethnography, literacy, interactional sociolinguistics and discourse analysis would be of interest along with work with an applied focus which aims to address real-world problems. I have previously supervised work in areas as diverse as attitudes to accents and dialects, comprehension and comprehensibility of immigration documents, suicide negotiations, media representations of rights.
Research Interests
Police language, forensic linguistics, workplace language, ecolinguistics and language and the Environment, information design, document design, 'difficult' language, expert-lay communication, discourse, literacies, linguistic ethnography, interactional sociolinguistics, recontextualisation and textual travel, research methods.

Much of my research has been dedicated to the investigation of language in legal settings. With a particular focus on the police I have examined texts, processes and practices which mediate information between legal specialists and lay people, in both directions. This research has had various practical outcomes. For example, it contributed to the development of a new written text to explain rights to people in police custody and new procedures to accompany that text. This text and accompanying procedures are now in use in police stations throughout England and Wales. I have also collaborated with police officers in the redesign of a range of letters addressed to the public (witnesses, victims of crime and those complaining against the police). I have investigated interview techniques, particularly during witness interviewing. I am currently collaborating on an investigation of talk at the opening of police-witness interviews. I have examined call-handling procedures during both emergency and non-emergency calls (see, for example, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7489457.stm, http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/cardiff-news/2008/01/31/999-move-follows-no-1-for-trolley-emergency-91466-20419862/, http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/articles/999-emergency-2426.html). I am currently working with interpreters, and in collaboration with interpreters and police interview trainers, on methods for dealing with legal terms and on training around interpreted interviews both for interpreters and police. These research projects lead me to address a wide range of research questions using predominantly sociolinguistic and discursive techniques. These research questions cluster around themes of 'difficult' language, lay-specialist communication, workplace language and the communication of socially important information.
You can take part in some of my research either by submitting data as a participant (go to flaw.cardiff.ac.uk) or by joining in discussion of submitted data (go to fuzzylaw.cardiff.ac.uk). Please come along and join in!
My work uses a range of techniques, theoretical frameworks and concepts drawn from discourse analysis, new literacy studies, sociolinguistics, linguistic ethnography and interactional sociolinguistics.

RIM posts dismal earnings, delays BlackBerry 10 operating systemJune 28, 2012: 4:43 PM ET
First quarter results offer a grim look inside the troubled Blackberry maker. The company will fire 5,000 employees and delay its upcoming operating system.
FORTUNE -- BlackBerry maker Research in Motion reported a wider-than-expected loss and yet another delay of its long-awaited BlackBerry 10 operating system on Thursday, marking a new low point in the company's downward spiral.
The bad news isn't entirely surprising. Just last month, newish CEO Thorsten Heins warned that "lower volumes and highly competitive pricing dynamics in the marketplace" would likely result in an operating loss for the quarter, and that the company's financial performance would continue to be challenged for the next few quarters. Shares fell 17% to 7.60 in Friday premarket trading.
The company reported a first-quarter loss of $518 million, or 99 cents a share. Overall sales at the Waterloo, Ontario-based company came in at $2.8 billion, down 43% from $4.9 billion in the same quarter a year ago and considerably lower than analysts' expected first-quarter revenue of $3.1 billion.
During the quarter, RIM says it shipped 7.8 million BlackBerry smartphones and a meager 260,000 BlackBerry PlayBook tablets. The company also announced cost-cutting efforts that will include a "workforce reduction" of about 5,000 employees.
MORE: RIM: What the hell happened?
"I am not satisfied with these results and continue to work aggressively with all areas of the organization and the Board to implement meaningful changes to address the challenges, including a thoughtful realignment of resources and honing focus within the Company on areas that have the greatest opportunities," Heins said in a written statement. "Our top priority going forward is the successful launch of our first BlackBerry 10 device, which we now anticipate will occur in the first quarter of calendar 2013. In parallel with the roll out of BlackBerry 10, we are aggressively working with our advisors on our strategic review and are actively evaluating ways to better leverage our assets and build on our strengths, including our growing BlackBerry subscriber base of approximately 78 million, our large enterprise installed base, our unique network architecture and our industry leading security capabilities."
RIM's (RIMM) BlackBerries once dominated the smartphone industry, but in recent years the company has been on a fast decline. Its management failed to react quickly to Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and devices running Google's (GOOG) Android operating system, which now rule the mobile market.
The company's last hope is BlackBerry 10, but this isn't the first time the mobile operating system has been delayed. In his business update last month, CEO Heins said that the company had made "significant progress" on several fronts, like development on BlackBerry 10, which was expected to launch by end of this year and is now slated for early 2013. On a call with investors on Thursday, Heins said that the integration of new features and development of the BlackBerry 10's software code has "proven to be more challenging and time-consuming than anticipated." With BlackBerry 10 devices not expected to launch until the first quarter of 2013, RIM will miss out on this year's holiday sales season. In the meantime, a new iPhone and more Android devices are expected to launch, and Microsoft is expected to make a big push with the latest version of Windows.
"For the first BlackBerry 10 device to win the attention of customers and developer at its new launch date it will have to prove itself better than the alternatives by leaps and bounds — the likelihood of that is very, very low," Charles Golvin, an analyst with Forrester Research, wrote on Thursday.
But on the call with investors on Thursday, RIM executives insisted that BlackBerry 10 would be a viable competitor and create "long-term stakeholder value." In parallel with development of the new mobile platform, RIM is also looking into other strategic options. Last month, the company announced it had engaged JPMorgan (JPM) and RBC Capital to "review" its options, which could include forging new partnerships or breaking up the company. Investors had hoped to hear more details on what a new, strategic direction of the company could look like, but they got nothing on Thursday's earnings call. All Heins would say is that RIM is looking into everything from continuing with its existing "standalone" strategy to "whatever other model you could think about."
While RIM evaluates options, sales of BlackBerries are slowing. And it's not just consumers that are abandoning RIM's QWERTY devices in favor of iPhones and Android smartphones. A growing number of corporate customers are ditching RIM for so-called "bring your own device" programs that let employees use their smartphone of choice at work. RIM's net subscriber base grew last quarter, but it is bleeding customers in North America -- a crucial market in which the company rakes in a higher revenue per user, otherwise known as ARPU.
RIM's churn won't improve over the next few quarters, especially in light of the company's announcement that BlackBerry 10 will launch later than expected. RIM now says it expects to report an operating loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as well.

There is a lady at work that makes the most awesome and most delicious Chicken Fried Rice on the planet. She uses white rice with some sort of brown sauce that is added when frying the rice in the wok. She won't tell anyone what that brown sauce is other than she is using soy sauce. Not true! It is extremely mild, and slightly brown in color. Does anyone have any idea?
If it really is authentic, then it is soy sauce. Some recipes also use oyster sauce but I would not call that authentic or traditional.
Soy sauce can mean many things; it might just be a different soy sauce from what you're used to. There are light vs. dark soy sauces, and also fermented vs. hydrolyzed kinds. A naturally fermented light soy sauce would probably be (a) mild and (b) slightly brown.
Some other common types of sauce that I've seen used in stir fries are hoisin and satay. But, as with oyster sauce, I wouldn't call those authentic or traditional. That "some sort of brown sauce" is almost certainly soy sauce. It might include XO sauce, although you would notice a seafoody taste in that case.
Not knowing what Chinese style or if influenced by Malaysian Vietnamese cuisine etc, there are a number of possibilities...
As you said slightly brown (meaning not dark?), I will hazard that it is a fermented bean sauce; more savory tangy than salty. They come in many varieties from yellowy to caramely to toasty in color. Thickness much like ketchup which varies in runniness too.
Just a guess
Oyster sauce or black bean sauce.
It could just be Soy Sauce mixed with Cornstarch. That adds a nice sheen to the rice.

There's a good chance you've heard: "Grand Theft Auto V," the latest installment of the storied video game franchise, took in over $1 billion in its first week. That's more than any movie released this year, with the exception of "Iron Man 3" (which happens to be the fifth highest-grossing movie of all time). At this rate, "GTA V" could be a nontrivial contributor to the U.S. gross domestic product. It's a cultural event. Even Apple should be impressed.
It's not a stretch to think that the people who didn't go to the movies this summer might have said, "you know what, I'm skipping a few and using the cash for a different kind of blockbuster."
In that case, the most interesting number to keep in mind may be 100 — the approximate number of hours of gameplay that "GTA V" reportedly offers. For those diligent and conscientious enough to explore all the side quests, excursions and games- within-the-game, it provides weeks of entertainment.
That makes the $60 retail price a bargain: 100 hours of gameplay at $0.60 an hour. Compare that with the price of admission to a movie, even a two-and-a-half hour megaproduction. The other advantage for video games — driving the usage cost down even further — is that buyers get to keep the game.
So, could the multiple box-office disappointments last summer reflect the beginning of a shift that goes well beyond blockbuster fatigue?
There's little reason to think that movies and video games couldn't continue to co-exist. But if audiences are becoming overly familiar with Hollywood's version of the three-act- structure and if games continue to grow as a form of narrative entertainment, it's tantalizing to think that the next few years or decades might bring some more serious attempts at experimentation and cross-pollination.
It's already been tried. Most of the results, however, have been marketing masquerading as "interactive storytelling." Despite efforts in both industries to find some creative alchemy, most attempts, though admirable for the effort, fall short of true invention. Movies made from games, games made from movies, movies and games released simultaneously with added content end up being less than the sum of their parts, more like two conventional forms of entertainment smushed together and repackaged as a new product.
Movies and video games both take place in a larger, common universe of possible narratives. But are they fundamentally incompatible? Could anything interesting ever emerge from recombining the DNA of the two?
That's where a game such as "GTA V" breaks through. It's tempting to think of it as an open-ended movie: it's written and directed by storytellers skilled in the cinematic form and produced by an expert group of visual designers. In that sense it feels like a big movie production. As the scale and complexity of these games increase — and as our ability to simulate and render nuance and emotion and ambiguity increases — these games are starting to verge on something entirely new. Whatever one might feel about the storyline of "Grand Theft Auto V," it is hard to deny that it is pushing the boundary of the form.
Open world games have come a long way in a short time, but as impressive as they are, they're still operated on rails — theme-park rides rather than free-driving cars. "GTA V" points the way to games with a narrated openness in which players wouldn't be presented with options so much as they would have tools to model their experience. Giving players the ability to create their own stories within the connected world of a larger story creates a natural, social evolution within the system. In this sense, "Grand Theft Auto V" and "Minecraft" show us what may be coming when the mediums we have now are reimagined as virtual worlds that can grow and evolve over time.
If anyone is going to invent a new form of entertainment from this model, she's probably 15 years old right now, unbound by the conventions and assumptions of received forms. She's growing up in a world in which a significant number of her interactions with other people are online (for better or worse). She consumes serialized programming in 13-hour blocks and doesn't really distinguish between TV shows, movies or Internet videos. She consumes these stories on her phone, tablet and laptop whenever she wants, a few minutes at a time or maybe three hours at a stretch. She makes calls on her computer and surfs the web on her television. She makes no distinction between screens, small or large.
Maybe she'll be the first auteur of this new kind of entertainment — an environment with infinite horizons. She may imagine a platform where players are both the creator and the narrator, able to write the game as they play through it. Perhaps she'll create the first Great American Possibility Space.
