Help students Learn How to Save Lives, While Having Fun
What's more impactful than empowering your students to save lives? The Be The Beat School Challenge will help your students learn lifesaving Hands-Only CPR
and how to use an AED while competing with other schools
for points and prizes!
The Spring 2014 School Challenge is currently underway. Individual students may register or log in and complete the Challenge missions on their own for personal points, and any missions your students complete will count toward their school's completion rate.
Students will tour through an online lesson with fun, engaging sections about how the heart works, recognizing a sudden cardiac arrest, performing Hands-Only CPR and using an AED.
Each time a student completes a section, they earn points for your school. The school with the most points in your division will win a prize package from the American Heart Association and gets a chance to create a music video to be featured on BetheBeat and in other American Heart Association materials. Best of all, it's FREE! Learn more about the challenge below, or register your school now.
WHY COMPETE?Almost 80% of cardiac arrests happen outside a hospital (like at home or even at school) this lifesaving information could be the difference between life and death of someone your students love. Moreover, the Be the Beat School Challenge also supports National Health Education Standards to promote personal, family and community health. Not only can the program integrate with your physical education, science, and health class curricula or CPR mandates, but and can help students:
- - Comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention
- - Use decision-making skills to enhance health
- - Access valid information to enhance health
High-resolution graphics, 3-D models, and dynamic quizzes give students a high-end digital learning experience while having a blast.
HOW IT WORKSFor the next School Challenge launching in the fall, schools will be split into 5 divisions based on enrollment. The school in each division with the highest completion rate per class will win. Each of the five winning schools will be asked to submit an essay, which will determine the grand prize winner.
Sign up now to start planning, so you and your students are ready to go when the competition begins!
WHAT STUDENTS LEARNThe school challenge offers videos, games and quizzes about recognizing a cardiac arrest, Hands-Only CPR, how to use an AED, and a 3-D exploration of the heart. Upon finishing the modules, students will have to answer a quiz in order to pass the section.
WHO CAN COMPETEAny school, any class, or any individual student can compete in the challenge. Principals or school nurses can register their school and encourage classroom teachers to make the challenge part of the lesson plan. Classroom teachers and school leaders can register their class to compete. Students can register and compete on an individual level earning points for their school, or can compete as a member of a classroom (we think it's more fun when everyone's working together to win!) The modules can be completed in one class period, or divided out over several, depending on distractions and lesson plans.
In addition to schools and classrooms, student service organizations, leadership clubs and after-school programs can also register for the challenge.

Students' Success
CPR and AED Training
To take the learning further, the American Heart Association offers CPR programs for schools. The CPR Anytime® all-in-one kit teaches core CPR skills in about 20 minutes in the classroom or home.
Family & Friends CPR® is a video-driven course designed to be taught over several class periods. Students can learn Hands-Only CPR, adult/child AED use, child CPR, infant CPR and choking relief and practice while watching skills performed accurately on the video. This course now can be led by "facilitators" (such as educators or school nurses) who wish to help pass on lifesaving CPR skills to students in the classroom. Both programs utilize the latest science and provide maximum hands-on practice time to improve retention.
Call 1-877-AHA-4CPR for more information about CPR training courses from the American Heart Association.
School Spotlight
Beginning in 2004, Open Door Christian Schools in Elyria, Ohio has been piloting a full-scale program to teach lifesaving CPR skills to students from Kindergarden through 8th grade. Students first learn about emergencies and how to make 911 calls, how to relieve choking and use an AED. In 6–8th grades they get a quick CPR course using CPR Anytime©. By high school, they take a CPR certification course under the guidance of health and physical education teacher Lowana Dunckel and school nurse Kim Shumate. Heartsafe Kids© is enthusiastically received by students and we believe it will pay big dividends in future lives saved.Spotlight Archives

Guest Column
Each year in the U.S., nearly 300,000 people suffer cardiac arrest outside hospitals, and most don't get CPR from a bystander. Without immediate CPR and defibrillation, a victim's chance of survival decreases each minute. For the past 50 years, adults have been taught CPR yet the statistics aren't improving.
I created Heartsafe Kids, an innovative, age-appropriate, reality-based, technology-rich approach to teaching lifesaving CPR and AED use in schools designed to help turn the sudden cardiac death statistics upside down!
From an early age, children will learn critical skills to help save a life which will be reinforced as they progress through school. By the time they graduate, we hope to have created a generation of CPR/AED-savvy students who have the confidence and willingness to save a life.
Through our Heartsafe Kids program, students learn the following skills:
- K-3: Recognizing an emergency, 9-1-1/EMS access, obstructed airway, AED introduction
- Grades 4-5: Review, choking prevention and relief, AED use
- Grades 6-8: Choking prevention and relief, CPR with AED
- Grades 9-12: CPR/AED certification, risk factors, healthy lifestyle
- High School: Skill proficiency, mock rescues, emergency rescue system, mentoring younger students
Heartsafe Kids started in 2004 at Open Door Christian Schools in Elyria, Ohio. We now reach schools in a three-county area with the help of many partner and industry organizations.
So, why should you teach emergency lifesaving skills in schools?
- To meet AHA or federal and state guidelines
- Training can be integrated with other curriculum goals in health, safety, social studies, PE and technology classes
- Students are eager and empowered by learning lifesaving skills
- Helps build self-confidence and good citizenship among students

Barbecued Pork Chops with Rosemary Lemon Marinade
When it comes to cooking, I'm not "chicken" about experimenting—I discovered this mouthwatering marinade in a poultry cookbook and decided to try it with pork chops. My family's glad—it's become a favorite! Don't be bashful about basting a pork roast or ribs with the marinade, either...I did, and I discovered two more family-favorite taste treats.—Peggy Gwillim, Strasbourg, Saska
4 Servings
Prep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick)
In a small bowl, whisk garlic, lemon juice, peel, oil, rosemary,
basil and pepper. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a large resealable
plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate
for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and
refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain marinade; brush the remaining marinade on the chops while
cooking. Grill chops over medium heat about 4-5 minutes per side or
until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes
before serving. Yield: 4 servings.

It is important to keep yourself updated on auto insurance. Equip yourself with the tools and information necessary to make informed, well-chosen coverage decisions. The tips in this article will help you to make the correct choice when purchasing auto insurance.
If you want to reduce how much you pay in insurance, make an attempt to use your car less. Auto insurance companies generally offer discounts on your premium depending on how little you drive.
You need to maintain a clean license. When accidents and tickets are on your driving record, your insurance costs can go through the roof. If you cannot avoid an accident or a driving citation, look into going to traffic school to clean up your record and lower your insurance.
You should review all after-market equipment you intend to install on your car with your insurance agent, so that you can be sure it gets covered properly. Investing in expensive rims that cost you $1000 bit only add $30 in value to your vehicle will add up to a big loss if the vehicle is stolen because you won't recover the difference.
There are a number of added protections available to you that are that are beyond the legally required minimum. Your cost will be more, but if you get into an accident, it will be worth the extra expense. If you get into an accident with someone who does not have insurance or you are the victim of a hit-and-run, you'll be sorry if you don't have uninsured motorists coverage.
To save money on insurance, ride public transportation or ride with co-workers. Insurance companies will reward you for being responsible by lowering your insurance rates. One way to prove your responsibility is to lower the overall mileage that you drive on a daily basis. Letting your agent know that you frequently use mass transit or ride in carpools, can be a great way to lower your insurance costs.
Before you buy auto insurance, always ask multiple companies for quotes. Rates can vary dramatically from one company to the next. Get a new batch of quotes each year to ensure you always have the best rate. However, make sure the policy details for each quote are very similar.
Don't jump right away on the cheapest auto insurance quote you receive. The insurance may not cover everything you need. Get to know as much as you can about the insurance company and policies it offers before trusting them with your insurance business.
When purchasing auto insurance, it is important that you look into several different companies. You will likely have to check with many companies before you find the best policy and cost for your needs.
The information presented in this article has, hopefully, increased your knowledge, which can guide you in making more informed decisions regarding vehicle insurance. The more you take the initiative to learn about insurance, the more qualified you will be to make decisions regarding your coverage. If you appreciate the contents of this article, give the gift of knowledge by forwarding this to your loved ones as well.

Reviews for Soothing Breeze Mineral Salt Rituals
By ilike
Average rating: 4 out of 5 hearts
By Veronica on August 23, 2011
Very Soothing
These salts smell more like peppermint than lavender. These would be nice salts to use when you have a cold. I like to soak in the bath with these salts after a hard workout. It does actually make my muscles less sore when using this product than simply bathing in hot water. I got the salts with the optional lavender buds thinking it would be pretty in the bath. Well they don't put many in and the "buds" are just individual lavender "petals" so it doesn't look all that pretty. I would skip that.
By Nicole on April 12, 2011
Detoxifies. Great with cancer therapy.
After reading a cancer recovery story that implemented this product I got this salt for my mom last year when she went through chemotherapy to detox her body. She was so satisfied and healed from the effects of these Dead Sea salt that she keeps on doing her weekly therapy with it. I am sure that combining these regular detox soaks contributed to her overall cancer therapy. Thank you!

Yes, You Can Get Over Your Food Addictions
Whether it's a crunchy, creamy chocolate bar beckoning to you from the vending machine, a green juice habit, or an urge to dive into a bowl of pasta the second you get home, you can conquer your cravings. It's as easy as making these smart swaps.
By Ava Feuer
Having a cup or two of java has enormous health benefits, but if it's messing with your sleep or triggering other physical ailments, you may have exceeded your personal caffeine limit. "Cold turkey isn't for everyone," says says Diane Sanfilippo, a holistic nutritionist and author of The 21-Day Sugar Detox Diet. "For some people, a weaning off method works better." For the first three days, mix 75-percent caffeinated coffee with 25-percent decaf, then gradually shift the proportion over two or three weeks. This works whether you're looking to cut out some or all java, and makes withdrawal headaches blessedly less likely. "I prefer water-processed coffee, which means in order to decaffeinate it, they've used a water process instead of a chemical one," adds Sanfilippo, who urges those who experience any trouble sleeping to experiment with nixing caffeine after noon.

New York has a historic opportunity to reform election laws. The 2013 Fair Elections Act, which provides for greater transparency and strictly enforced campaign finance laws, recently passed the State Assembly by a vote of 88-50. In contrast to the wild calculations that Sen. Martins provided, a public campaign finance system could be had for the cost of only $2 per person per year, according to the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute; a candidate's participation would be optional. I daresay that most New Yorkers would gladly pay a mere $2 (the cost of a cup of coffee) for fairer, more transparent elections.
According to a recent Mercury Public Strategy poll, more than three-quarters of likely voters agree that reforming New York's campaign finance laws is key to cleaning up Albany, rooting out corruption and improving the work of state government. Public financing would increase the number and diversity of candidates for office, require more disclosure, and give low- and middle-income candidates the opportunity to run credible campaigns against well-heeled candidates.
The proposal also contains limitations on election expenditures and campaign contributions, which are currently too high. Big-money donors have far too much influence in politics and elections. Elected representatives are supposed to be responsive to their constituents' needs, not just those of their lobbyists and big donors.
The State Senate must act on this bill this month. Senate Majority co-leader Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) opposes the bill, making it unlikely to come to the Senate floor for a vote. The Senators should at least vote on this bill, so the voters know where they stand. However, we DO know where Sen. Martins stands; he opposes Fair Elections for NY.
It's time to end the power of big donors and lobbyists in politics. Give the people back their power by having publicly-funded elections. Isn't that what democracy is supposed to be? Isn't it worth a mere $2.00 to have YOUR voice heard in Albany again?

Abarth to go it alone on mid-engine roadster?
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Oct 31st, 2010 at 7:02PM
Reports of Abarth getting its own sports car have been surfacing pretty much since Fiat relaunched the brand. They seem to have intensified recently, with reports alternately suggesting that the Scorpion marque could partner with either Lotus or KTM on the development of a mid-engine roadster. The latest scuttlebutt, however, indicates that Abarth could go it alone on the new model. The issue with KTM is reportedly that its carbon-fiber X-Bow, upon which the Abarth roadster could be based, is too expensive for the low price point Fiat seeks. The hesitance to work with Lotus, however, may... Read More

These are slightly smokey, tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. You can make these into little patties and serve as an appetizer.

The airplane bounced twice during landing. The pilot said that after the second bounce, he added full throttle for a go-around and that the airplane began to drift to the left side of the runway centerline. Just as the airplane began to climb, the pilot retracted the landing gear and flaps, and the nose of the airplane immediately pitched up. The right wingtip struck the runway surface, and the airplane veered sharply to the right and impacted terrain on the right side of the runway. The impact resulted in the collapse of the landing gear and substantial damage to the engine mount, firewall, fuselage, and horizontal stabilizer. The pilot reported that there was no mechanical malfunction or failure and that he just failed to maintain control of the airplane during the landing.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Many people marry foreigners , they do not like Indian culture

In most of the cases of marriage between people of different nationalities, it is not actually because the persons do not like their own culture. Coming to Indians, I know of many who are married to Pakistanis, British, Americans and persons from other nationalities. They do like their own culture and keep in touch with the same and even celebrate Indian festivals. It is love between two individuals which normally get them into wedlock and that is all. Very few give up Indian culture. By and large, Indians, even after marrying foreigners, remain Indian by culture and are always eager to visit their country at the earliest opportunity.Answered by Francisco, 23 Jun '12 04:21 pm

Spring is here in full force, and farmers markets are alive with welcome color after six months of rutabagas and parsnips.
Red and white radishes, so tiny and delicate they're like pink foam, bubble effusively next to elegant purple artichokes. Perfectly coordinated asparagus spears line up in emerald formation, waiting for their first hollandaise opportunity — or maybe just tossed with olive oil and garlic and grilled at that most celebratory and optimistic of events, the spring barbecue.
It's such a relief to see the familiar fruit-and-vegetable faces of spring that it's easy to get in a rut. I'm not joking when I say I would be perfectly happy to eat an entire artichoke every single day for the entire month of May, and maybe even June and part of July.
Working at the Portland Farmers Market over the last year, however, has given me the opportunity to get acquainted with some wonderful and woefully underappreciated spring produce. I've relished the getting-to-know-you period with each of these fantastic crops, from the humble salad turnip to the I-didn't-know-you-could-eat-that fava top.
Each of these vegetables is worth making space for next to your asparagus and radishes. They are delicious to eat, fun to cook with, and as perfect a way to welcome the season as eating the entire pint of strawberries before you even make it to the car.

I just bought some French sorrel at the market yesterday and hadn't decided what to do with it yet. Thanks for the ideas!
Really Great Article..
Nice article. I appreciate anyone who sings the praises of salad turnips.
Thanks! And yes, I think that salad turnips are good enough that you can do away with the salad and just eat the turnips...
I asked my friend Lane, a seed researcher at OSU, about the scallion/bunching onion question. She says that "Scallions are varieties that have been selected for their straight, uniform and non-bulbing habit," while "Bunching onions make a little bulb, not sure how large they would get if left alone."
At GTF, we grow both bunching onions meant to be harvested small and soft, as well as baby spring onions, which are true onions (the kind that would develop the papery skin), just harvested young. Alliums are confusing!
Taxonomy aside, I use the tops of spring or bunching onions just like I use scallions--no matter what they're called, both the root and the leaves of the plants in this family are edible, as long as they aren't too tough and look crisp and appetizing.
Thanks Margarett for the enlightening information. I actually thought that all those so-called, 'green onions' were the same, just young versions of the later true onions. I didn't realize that scallions had undergone such a selection. But taste-wise, I don't really think there is a difference.
You mentioned garlic scapes, I broke some off of the garlic growing at our CSA the other day and sautéd them for a salad, but they were very tough and chewy – not very appetizing. Did I not cook them long enough, or did I pick them perhaps too late? Do you have to get them as soon as they appear? I don't know how long they had been there, but they were still looped and of course the flowers had not yet opened...

Who knew something called quantum cryptography could play a role in protecting the grid from cyber thugs? A team at Los Alamos National Lab says they've demonstrated the concept successfully. Scroll down for more on that, plus updates on smart grid demos focused on integrating renewables, assessing transactive control systems and bringing smart grid technologies into the real world.
Iberdrola is leading a three-year European initiative to study the impacts of integrating renewable energy on grids. The Spanish energy company launched the
Duke Energy just won an award from POWERGRID International magazine and PennWell Corp. for a similar initiative. Its battery installation at a North Carolina substation was named Project of the Year for integrating renewable energy into the grid. At the Rankin Substation, a 402-kilowatt/282-kilowatt-hour sodium nickel chloride battery system is being used to smooth out large minute-by-minute peaks and valleys in production from a nearby 1.2-megawatt solar facility at a local industrial complex. "We have to explore every avenue to make sure the grid can handle the influx of more renewables," said Dan Sowder, Duke's senior project manager. "We want to see if a central battery installation at a substation can support the grid. In the future, there may be neighborhoods full of rooftop solar. We need to be ready for that." Learn more >>
A Los Alamos National Laboratory quantum cryptography (QC) team successfully completed what it says is the first-ever demonstration of securing control data for electric grids using QC. According to a news release from the lab: "Novel methods for controlling the electric grid are needed to accommodate new energy sources such as renewables whose availability can fluctuate on short time scales. This requires transmission of data to and from control centers; but for grid-control use, data must be both trustworthy and delivered without delays. The simultaneous requirements of strong authentication and low latency are difficult to meet with standard cryptographic techniques. New technologies that further strengthen existing cybersecurity protections are needed. Quantum cryptography provides a means of detecting and defeating an adversary who might try to intercept or attack the communications." Learn more >>
Southern California Edison (SCE) is moving closer to the June 30 launch of its stimulus-supported Irvine project designed to demonstrate smart grid solutions in the real world. SCE is working with GE and others on the project, which includes automation and communications in the substation and across power lines to smart meters, smart appliances, rooftop solar and plug-in electric vehicles in homes. "We're moving the smart grid discussion from engineering and concepts on the drawing boards to our customers," said Doug Kim, SCE director of Advanced Technology. "Consumers who have been hearing about a smarter electric grid will now experience it firsthand. With increased insight, more options and greater control over their energy usage, consumers in this demonstration project will help us engineer a better energy future." GE says the demonstration project will help participants fine-tune the software, communications, automation, hardware and network management tools that will make an advanced energy infrastructure possible.

The Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project, hailed as the country's largest, has released its 2012 Annual Report. "Our project completed its infrastructure design, development and deployment phase and is now well into end-to-end testing of transactive control in the crucial data collection and analysis phase," noted Project Director Ron Melton of Battelle in the report's introduction. Melton says this current phase may be the most important. "Initially, we will examine the performance of our transactive control system and improve the algorithms affecting the behavior of approximately 12,000 smart grid-responsive assets, which include solar panels, water heaters, smart appliances, battery storage units, plug in hybrid vehicles and backup generators," Melton said. "We are also collecting data about the benefits of approximately 80,000 smart grid enabled assets, such as smart meters, smart transformers, and distribution automation equipment. We will be able to draw a few preliminary conclusions about how a smart grid on an even wider scale could look like." The five-year, $178-million project involves 60,000 electric consumers across five states (see the infographic on page 2). Funded by DOE and project partners, it involves Battelle, the Bonneville Power Administration, 11 utilities and five technology partners. Download the report (pdf) >>

Jarmo Hillo will continue the discussion from his keynote on High Performance computing with an in depth review.
Introduction of packet optimised and HW assisted multicore processors made it possible to push the performance and efficiency to a new level over a traditional CPU and NIC architecture. We have seen the processing environment transition from RTOS to a bare metal to Linux. Combining cloud compute and SDN technologies to packet optimised multicore SoC brings new challenges to maintain performance and efficiency in virtualised environment. Building a high performance and efficient data plane requires optimised processing, minimised SW overhead and maximal utilisation of HW resources.

Also in today's Last Lap: What are the items Beyonce is demanding while on tour? Who really needs 270 outfits for rehab? And where did Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon renew their vows?
Halloween is almost here, and it's definitely not just for kids anymore! These days it's less about the mini candy bars and more about the seriously hot mini outfits. October 31st has become the unofficial the last gasp of bikini season, the final strip-off before winter sets in and everyone turns into Slanket mummies for 6 months. But for now, the goal is to be the most creative with the least amount of clothing. And no one does that better than Hollywood A-listers! These stars have brought us some truly awesome costumes over the years. Who could forget Kim Kardashian as Jasmine, Mariah Carey as a scantily clad bride(?) and Snooki as…the Queen of the Pickles? We think? Okay, we'll be honest: we don't know what a lot of these outfits are supposed to be. But that's the magic of Halloween: We don't have to! It's the one night of the year where it's not skanky, it's a costume! Tons of stars and starlets have stripped down to celebrate over the years, so we've assembled the 75(!) most scarily sexy costumes of all time. Just think of it as a big basket of fun-sized Snickers on a doorstep and a sign that says "Help Yourself." Dive in!

This royal wedding business is getting out of hand, in our opinion, but if there's one thing we've learned about Prince William and Kate Middleton, it's that they seem like pretty fun, typical young people. (The Royals: Just Like Us!) First of all, perhaps you'll remember when Prince Harry wanted Snoop Dogg to perform at his brother's bachelor party. That kinda surprised us, but at the same time, if you can afford to have Snoop at your bachelor party, why not?
And now the word is that William and Kate want Jay-Z and Beyonce to perform "Crazy In Love" at the royal wedding reception. A source says "They really wanted to make their big day even more special and what better way than by getting pop royalty to perform at the party? … They both wanted to ditch traditions and make it more personal for them. Jay-Z and Beyoncé are both in Europe at the moment while she promotes her new single 'Girls Who Run The World.' So it's highly likely they have taken up the Royals' offer." Among other celebs on the Royal wedding guest list are Guy Ritchie, Joss Stone, Elton John, and the Beckhams. Since the royal family has announced that they'll be broadcasting the wedding on YouTube, maybe we'll get a glimpse of the Beyonce performance if it really happens.

We never thought we'd say this, but it looks like Beyoncé is taking over for Drew Barrymore as the queen of the indie scene. Last year, Barrymore was the hit of Bonnaroo, swaying in the wind in tribal facepaint at the outdoor music fest in Tennessee. This year, it was Beyoncé who was grooving in the VIP section as she watched acts like hubby Jay-Z, The National, Dead Weather and banjo player extraordinaire Steve Martin.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Group for zinesters on the autistic spectrum, dyspraxic, dyslexic, ADHD, any neurological disability... our zines and friends
Members: 18
Latest Activity: Oct 22
This group does not have any discussions yet.
howdy, i'm the dad of a ASD kiddo, looking to read some zines on the issue. also would not mind contributing if anyone is looking.
@Katherine, Yes, I would love to check out a copy. I run a distro-- would you be open to having this zine considered for the distro? You would not necessarily need to make more copies yourself if that was not convenient. We can talk more by private message-- I'll send you my mailing address. Thanks!
Zeraph Dylan
The Alchemist's Closet
@zeraph dylan: I know your comment was nearly a year ago, but if you're still here:
I wrote a zine called 'adventures in unreality' about 5 years ago, which was mainly about the social cues that I'd only just discovered to exist. I tried to explain them in a way that mad sense to me as an autistic person. If you're interested, I can find a copy and mail it to you.
I'm looking for some great zines on ability, disability, etc., oppression and privilege associated with neurodiversity, zines from folks on the autistic spectrum, etc.
Any recommendations?

NEW PALTZ -- " an all-ages event that promises to be a healthy dose of the sublime, the exciting, the absurd and the downright fun that will result in something wildly imaginative and infinitely compelling." Noah Fleisher, Taconic Weekend 2/15/01
" a startling original way of telling a story. Fluid camera-like angles dance in wild imagination across the screen." David Wildman, The Boston Globe, 11/1/98
Back by popular demand, the collaborative group Cave Dogs will present Ferrous City, a performance told through large-scale shadows, video projections, and an original sound score. This family-friendly event is on November 13, 7:30pm, McKenna Theatre, SUNY New Paltz.
Cave Dogs is presented by the SUNY New Paltz Student Art Alliance; a funded member of the Student Association. Tickets are available at the door beginning one hour prior to the performance. They are $8 for general admission and $5 for seniors and children. SUNY New Paltz students with ID are admitted free of charge.
Ferrous City is the story of a family car trip. During a quintessential summer in the city, too hot to stay indoors, a mother takes her children for a drive to their grandma's working farm, and along the way they encounter the Fast Talking Man; Sam, the juggler; a wedding cake; and a bunch of hogs that will change how they arrive at their final destination. We view this world through the eyes of the mother, her children, and the people they observe.
Ferrous City is about the dispersal of families from rural to urban homes, and the struggle to maintain family ties. It celebrates the role the neighborhood, of strangers and friends in the development of a child, and looks at what it means to be a mother in the twenty-first century.
Reflecting on the car culture that dominates the lives of many families in the U.S., the narrative is conveyed through the windows of the family station wagon. Along the journey, the characters experience the absurdity of everyday life and the extraordinary power of the ordinary. It is about how we encourage the life of the mind through childhood play and adult daydreaming, and how our lives shaped by these interior narratives. Finally, Ferrous City is a story about story telling: stories told in families, between siblings, and in communities.
Cave Dogs comprises visual artists, musicians, dancers, storytellers, and writers in the spirit of experimental collaboration. Performances consist of innovative, large-scale shadow projections cast onto a screen from sculptures, props, costumes, and the human body. Using improvisational techniques, cast shadows move in concert with projected video imagery, spoken narrative, and an original soundtrack. Working with a variety of artistic mediums, the group tells stories, creates visual tableaus, and produces effects that conjure both the dreamlike quality of early experimental film and the humor of contemporary animation. Cave Dogs attracts a diverse audience with varying levels of experience with art and performance. In this unique shadow medium, Cave Dogs tells life stories that charm, intrigue, challenge, and captivate adults and children alike. The text, visual imagery, and sounds weave together to create a rich multi-media artifact that documents, preserves, and celebrates important cultural voices and stories.
The exploration of this landscape is part documentary and, in the tradition of Cave Dogs, part fictionalized realism developed through extensive research, live recordings, and written preservation of oral traditions. Cave Dogs members include Suzanne Stokes, Jeanne Scheper, James Fossett, Wayne Montecalvo, Kari Giordano, Michael Crawley, Judith Muldoon, and Trudy Trutwin. Dean Jones created the soundtrack.
Suzanne Stokes, artistic director and performer, created Cave Dogs in 1992, while living in New York's Hudson Valley. Over the past twelve years, the collaborative performance work has grown and developed and Cave Dogs sustains a healthy, long-distance, collaboration with members in Boston, New York, California, and contributing artists throughout the United States. Cave Dogs performances include: Ferrous City (2002) How to Build a Raft (1998) Emily's Circus (1994) Sustenance (1993) Fall of Perception (1992) Shadows of Doubt and Other Precarious Truths (1991)
New York performances include P.S. 122, Henry Street Settlement, HERE, The Woodstock Comeau Property, The Widow Jane Mine, and Julien J. Studley Theatre and McKenna Theatre at SUNY New Paltz. Boston performances includee extended runs at Mobius, as well as engagements at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, The Massachusetts College of Art, The Cambridge Multicultural Art Center and Boston College. Cave Dogs has most recently performed at The Center For Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, NM. In 1999, WGBH-Boston's PBS affiliate-featured Cave Dogs as part of their Greater Boston Arts documentary series. WBUR-Boston's NPR affiliate-featured Cave Dogs on the afternoon special interest radio show "Here and Now," exploring the unique, creative process of the group and its musical sources.
They have received grants from The Jim Henson Foundation (NYC), The NLT Foundation (Boston, MA), and two consecutive years from Franklin Furnace (NYC). In June 2004 they received a third grant from Franklin Furnace, which is the first time in the history of Franklin Furnace that any group has been awarded this honor.

Comedian Bill Cosby, campaigning for Richmond mayoral candidate Doug Wilder, speaks to students at four of the state capital's public schools.
Date published: 10/12/2004
RICHMOND--Bill Cosby spoke bluntly to students at Richmond's mostly black public schools yesterday, urging them to dedicate themselves to graduation, not gangs, and to control anger that threatens to derail their dreams.
Cosby toured four schools with former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, who is running for mayor. But instead of talking politics, Cosby stuck to his no-nonsense message to inner-city black children that at times has made him the target of criticism.
"Study. That's all. It's not tough. You're not picking cotton. You're not picking up the trash. You're not washing windows. You sit down. You read. You develop your brain," Cosby pleaded at Fred D. Thompson Middle School, where 65 percent of the 700 students meet low-income criteria for free or reduced-price lunches.
There and at George Wythe High School, the 67-year-old actor and comedian implored black children in their teens to begin studying in groups, for girls not to allow themselves to get pregnant and for boys not to compensate for love they lack at home with gangs or sex.
"I'd like to tell you I don't think things have changed since I was 14," Cosby said. "There are still old people who drink, do drugs--who will stop and take the time to tell you don't be like them. Have you heard them? Pay attention to them."
Last month, the entertainer and educator took part in a black-tie gala at the University of Mary Washington and pledged to do 10 performances to raise millions of dollars for the U.S. National Slavery Museum that Wilder intends to build in Fredericksburg.
In Richmond, Cosby mentioned sex and an auditorium packed with sixth- through eighth-graders buzzed with laughter, catcalls and whistles. Then he mentioned algebra and the room momentarily quieted.
"Everybody knows about sex. Not too many people want to know about algebra," he said.
"Let's think about love. Let's think about where it is and where you can get it, but not sex. You're too young for sex," he said, joking with the children. "You don't have sex 'til you're 50 years old. What, that's too old? Well how about 49?"

- Excellent food and good staffcgyyodaDined on 8/1/2014We went for a late dinner with a BIG group (6 adults and 6 children). There were very few other tables. Our waitress seemed a bit flustered at times, however, she did a good job keeping up with us and was very patient with the confusion originated by waiting for 6 children. We later realized that we had probably stayed longer than anticipated; the staff gave no signs of being in rush to get us out the door, and fulfilled all our requests. The food was excellent! We all loved our dishes, we had options for sizes and the staff was very accommodating in this regards. The kids ate all their food and enjoyed the experience. We would definitely come back!

- OKDeskjettDined on 7/25/2014My husband and I were able to get a last minute reservation with booking online, so we were happy about that. The service was great, everyone was nice and it was decent timing. We were both a little disappointed with the food. Thought it would be a little better, I felt it was just alright. I'm sure we would go back, just may not be a first pick.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Food, Wine & StaffJennileahDined on 7/14/2014We have been traveling to Penticton for years for family vacations, and this is BY FAR one of the best restaurants here.

- Great Dinner ChoiceWD40Dined on 6/20/2014We treated some friends to a 'thank you' dinner at Villa Rosa on a Friday night. The restaurant and patio were both constantly active and ever changing. We spent 3 hours there and were never rushed nor delayed. The server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We all ordered different items from the menu and everyone appreciated a well presented and perfectly prepared meal. I would highly recommend this location for a lovely dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing food, great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/13/2014The food was made with fresh ingredients and every part of all the entree's were cooked properly. The pasta and sides and veg were all cooked the way they should be. The only thing I found wrong with the food with 7 entree's ordered was that the special Prime Rib my wife ordered was a little cold and rare; but still delicious. I'm an executive Chef and I am very picky and this was food to brag about in Penticton.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Like Italian, you'll love ThisOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/1/2014Lovely decor in restaurant, large, comfortable patio, great service, friendly, efficient and professional. Great menu with all the Italian classics plus several Villa Rosa specialties. Dinner was excellent, from applies to salad to the main course with a good wine list to accompany it. Looking forward to our next visitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pricey but goodTiggyDined on 5/31/2014My family is not Italian so for us the food is tasty and something we wouldn't normally make for ourselves. The main issue would be the price. For what you get it's pretty expensive so this isn't somewhere you would go everyday or every week but every now and then it's nice. Also there tends to be large groups and lots of kids so it can get pretty noisy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a great oasisdrsincDined on 4/13/2014The Villa Rosa is in a unique spot: close to the beach yet on a major street (so it's easy to access). The people are welcoming and if you get a booth it's very intimate once you're seated; if you get a regular table, it is a bit more jovial, but just as enjoyable. The food portions are sizeable: we had sufficient to have a second meal at home (lunch the next day). The food was superb with wine; the next day, the nuked version was without wine, but was just about as good. Will definitely go back, especially once the patio opens.Special Features:
- Will be back!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/22/2014Wonderful meal! Had a lovely private table for two in a corner booth, made us feel like we were the only ones there despite a couple large parties. Great service, even brought over a "tide to go" pen after a pasta incident. Decent wine list, fabulous chocolate mousse. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for a romantic date night. Generous portion sizes too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- We went this time with a groupOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/22/2012We went this time with a group of 10 to celebrate a birthday. The service is very good, food has a real flair, and the dining room very "polished". As with many restaurants, the noise level can be a bit much, but this is hard to control in even the best of environments. I was a bit surprised to have essentially the same sauce on my mussels/clams starter as with my osso bucco. Other than this, this is a consistently excellent place to dine, and to dine well. Wine list represents some of the best of the S. Okanagan.Special Features:

- Valentine Momentritj2VIPDined on 2/14/2012We celebrated Valentine's Day at the Villa Rosa and it was a lovely, romantic evening. I have eaten here many times and the food was outstanding. The service was very personable, yet professional. Giving each lady a rose was a nice touch. I had a special gift for the men of our lives and the folks at the restaurant were very helpful in assisting me with my little surprise. Noise level was on the loud side, but, what can you expect during these busy holidays. All restaurants deal with this issue. The sounds of life - a beautiful evening. Thanks to Tyler, Nicole and staff.Special Features:
- Villa Rosa Ristorante wentJLMBDined on 12/3/2011Villa Rosa Ristorante went above and beyond to make a bad situation more tolerable--providing extra wine (which we didn't drink) and picking up the tab. There was a very loud Christmas party, so they moved us to the patio, which I imagine is fabulous in the summer, not so heavenly in the colder months. I'm a foodie and between the three of us who were dinning only one main course met expectations. Presentation of dishes were simple and not what I would expect for a 4 star restaurant, candies plunked on the table when we finished. Two main courses barely touched. Definitely not what I expected considering the reviews we researched on Open Table. If the meal had been fabulous, I might have been able to forgive booking us in during a Chri
- The atmosphere was great wineOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/9/2011The atmosphere was great wine we ordered was out of stock a recommendation of another choice turned out well a bit of an error on the appetizer but the main meal was very good the three of us had something different and were happy with our choices.

Natural gas prices are at all time highs. California can't glow for Christmas because of power shortages. Summer gasoline prices set records highs. Oil imports are at record levels. These all have a common thread – environmentalism run amok through the auspices of creeping socialism.
Natural gas – 90% of the power (electric) generating capacity increases brought on line in the past 10 years has been fueled by natural gas. The reasons are many, including some solid economics in many cases. However, in most cases the reasons are more political than economic (and naturally the economics are affected by the politics). Gas turbine based generating plants are fairly low profile and are the lowest emissions fossil fuel power generating option. However, the reliance on them as an electric source has strained the gas recovery and distribution system to where prices have doubled in the past year. Gas turbine had previously been used for peak generation demand. They now carry base load. You can get a gas-fired plant permitted and built in about two years. Five years is more likely for a coal fired plant. The reasons are environmental regulations. Coal can be clean but the activist chant has moved from NIMBY to BANANA (Not In My Back Yard … Build Almost Nothing Anywhere Near Anything).
So now your lights are powered by the same stuff you need to heat your home. Supply and demand. Only gas-fired plants can get permits (from the states) so you get to pay much more for heat. The sure answer that comes next will be some call for price controls.
California – Most news articles on this subject manage to mention deregulation as part of the reason why California is facing very tight power supply to demand margins. What they don't mention is why there is a connection. California, being the sunny side of socialism did not really deregulate the power industry. It made it possible for consumers to choose their supplier and even set up a market for power to be traded. However, they couldn't just trust the market, they capped the price anyone could pay for electricity. Even better, they capped it at a rate that is low enough that it is not worth doing the back flips through flaming hoops that is required to get a permit to build generating capacity in the state. As with any commodity, electricity supply only gets increased when there is a likely return on an investment. By setting stringent environmental requirements, the cost to build and operate a generating plant is raised. The price cap assures would-be investors that they can do better building incremental capacity elsewhere with less uncertainty in the permitting process. Voila, Californians have to plot the next revolution in the dark.
Gas prices – As with power plants in California, nobody is building refinery capacity because the cost and uncertainty of changing environmental rules make other investments more profitable (or the capital required for expansion is being sucked up meeting new regulations). Add to that mix various environmental requirements for various gasoline blends in different parts of the country and you get local shortages and run right back into that ^%$# supply and demand stuff.
In each of these cases, there are conflicts between capitalism meeting a demand and environmental requirements either increasing the cost of production, or the uncertainty of investment return or both. Utilities have been sued by the EPA for performing maintenance on their assets that made them last longer than was expected – even though no laws or regulations put a sunset on grandfather clauses. California consciously limited the supply of new generation by virtue of their emissions requirements and then installed price controls to limit the effects. EPA forced refineries to make more expensive gasoline for a limited market for a limited portion of the year but expected no increase in prices.
Even I do not suggest we return to the days of belching smokestacks. Instead, what is needed are scientifically based regulations applied consistently and predictably and free markets for producers who meet those regulations. We need to recognize the principles of economics 101 in energy policies.
Or we could just nationalize the whole shebang, roll it up with the Tennessee Valley Authority and Bonneville Power Authority and let the gubmit run it all. Oops, EPA even filed papers on TVA.

Thanks for spreading the word. I had not even heard of this "movement"--if one can call it that. It actually is a pretty mainstream historical idea. Perhaps a bit waylaid along the way. I am all for it! Wholeheartedly agree!
This year my 7th grade science students and I are making a Life Science Portfolio on Flickr as we explore a local trail. The days we walk to the trail are our favorite science days. Now with the new snow we've had, we'll be back out there soon. Your post has inspired me to think of additional ways to get us outside.
I love the #eddies and how they make us aware of new educators, ideas, and members for our PLN. Keep up the great work!

2008 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Background: Negative inspiratory force (NIF) measurement is a routine component of pulmonary mechanics done in mechanically ventilated (MV) patients prior to attempting weaning/extubation. NIF measures the strength of inspiratory lung muscles which is an indicator of patient's readiness for successful extubation. NIF is usually measured with a reusable external manometer connected to ETT via a disposable adapter. In most institutions, therapists take 3 measurements and use the highest value to report the maximum inspiratory pressure. This requires instrument calibration before every use. Also, this method carries a risk of cross contamination between patients. This is even more significant in the frequently immunocompromised cancer patients. Recently a disposable manometer has become available which does not require calibration and is for single-patient use. Our objective for this study was to compare NIF measurements as obtained by the new disposable device with the conventional manometer measurements.
Methods: NIF measurements were obtained using the conventional manometer and the disposable manometer in all the patients undergoing assessment for weaning/extubation readiness. MV was reinstated between measurements to optimize results.
Results: NIF measurements using the conventional manometer and the disposable NIF manometer were obtained in 18 critically ill, MV cancer patients as a part of their assessment for weaning readiness (figure 1). Fifteen patients (83%) were alert and awake during the NIF measurements. Among these patients the median pressure difference between the two devices was 1 cm H2O (mean = 3, range 0 - 5). Three patients (17%) were not fully alert and awake during the assessment and among them the median pressure difference was 10 cm H2O (mean = 10, range 7 - 12).
Conclusion: In an effort to minimize the rising healthcare costs in MV patients, prevention of infections has become a primary focus in respiratory care practice. Disposable devices are in vogue since they do not carry the risk of cross contamination when properly stored. Availability of a disposable NIF manometer which offers accuracy comparable to conventional devices deserves serious consideration for use in weaning/extubation readiness assessment. Its ease of use and no need for calibration provides added advantage. The use of disposable NIF manometer should be studied further for the possibility of its implementation as the manometer of choice for NIF measurements.

Water is one of the most important parts of your diet. With the summer sun out in full force, remembering to drink enough water is even more crucial to your health.
Your body needs water for basic chemical reactions to take place. In fact, water accounts for much of your body weight (about 60 percent for men and about 50 percent for women). When you don't drink enough water, your body can't function at its best. As dehydration sets in, you'll feel tired, lethargic, and you may have trouble thinking clearly.
Water is also crucial to the body's cooling system. When your body heats up—because of a hot day or because of physical activity, for instance—your brain signals your sweat glands to produce sweat. The body cools itself by the evaporation of sweat from the skin. If dehydrated, the body can't sweat enough to stay cool.
Exactly how much you need to drink depends on whom you ask. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, you should look at the color of your urine: If you're drinking enough water, your urine will be pale like lemonade rather than darker like apple juice.
Weight loss is also a good gauge. By weighing yourself before and after you spend time in the hot sun, you can tell how much you should be drinking. For every pound you lose, drink 16 to 24 ounces of water.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends that women get 91 ounces of water a day (about 11½ cups) and men about 125 ounces a day (about 15½ cups). These figures refer to total water, from beverages and food. The IOM says that most people can use thirst as a guide for when they need to rehydrate. Athletes and older adults, however, may not feel thirsty before they're already dehydrated. Athletes and older adults need to set times to drink and not rely on thirst.
Stick to water and other low-calorie beverages. Sports drinks are generally not necessary unless you're participating in intense physical activity for long periods of time. And don't just drink water; eat it, too, by loading up on fruits and vegetables. They're brimming with water.
