Schools: Chicago State University
This case is a part of FIRE's Stand Up For Speech Litigation Project.
Chicago State University (CSU) professors Phillip Beverly and Robert Bionaz are contributing bloggers for CSU Faculty Voice, a blog authored by CSU faculty members that is often highly critical of the CSU administration's perceived corruption and incompetence. Among other things, CSU Faculty Voice was launched in part because of previous unsuccessful efforts by the university to censor the student newspaper for publishing articles critical of the administration and illegal efforts by CSU to improperly withhold public records under the state's Freedom of Information Act. Just as in these previous cases, Chicago State administrators repeatedly have endeavored to shut down the Faculty Voice.
In November 2013, CSU sent a demand letter to Professor Beverly, threatening legal action if the blog wasn't shut down. After Beverly refused, CSU retained outside counsel to pursue unfounded claims of trademark infringement against the authors. FIRE refuted these claims in a letter to CSU administrators, but the university's attempts to silence the Faculty Voice continued. CSU then quickly authored and adopted a broad "cyberbullying policy" and is now attempting to use it to silence the Faculty Voice.

This Academic Year, Colleges Should Eliminate Speech Codes — or Prepare for Their Day in Court
September 2, 2014
By Azhar Majeed at The Huffington Post One would think that American colleges and universities do not need many added incentives to uphold the free speech rights of their students and professors. After all, protecting freedom of speech on campus meets universities' legal obligations under the First Amendment (in the case of public institutions) and honors institutional promises of free speech made in official handbooks and materials (in the case of private schools). Doing so allows students and faculty members to exchange diverse viewpoints with one another and to learn from their fellow classmates or colleagues. And it ultimately benefits […]» Read More
Colleges: Drop Your Speech Codes
August 8, 2014
By David Moshman at The Huffington Post This summer, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) initiated four new First Amendment lawsuits against college censors. Additional lawsuits will follow, it announced, until unconstitutional speech codes, which are common across the nation, have been eliminated. How should college officials respond? Here's some free advice: Join the quest for intellectual freedom in higher education. Eliminating a speech code costs nothing, will make you look good, may avoid a lawsuit and, best of all, is the right thing to do. I will elaborate on these four reasons below. But first, let's look more closely at college […]» Read More
EDITORIAL: Saving Campus Speech
July 11, 2014
At The Washington Times Congress is considering a constitutional amendment to eliminate the free-speech protections of the First Amendment. Over at the Internal Revenue Service, high-level officials are caught harassing American citizens for their political beliefs, but obstructing the exercise of free speech is not limited to Washington. College campuses everywhere have dropped the pretense of academic freedom, adopting speech codes to restrict what can be said or thought, lest someone take offense at the expression of an unfamiliar idea. The frightened few cowering in the faculty lounge want to sanitize the public discourse. Earlier this month, the Foundation for Individual […]» Read More
Chicago State University Sued for Violating First Amendment Rights
July 9, 2014
By Bryant Jackson-Green at Illinois Policy The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, filed a lawsuit against Chicago State University, or CSU, last week, accusing the university of "[engaging] in an ongoing campaign to silence … criticisms of how the university is run" when it tried to shut down an independently operated faculty blog. Since at least last year, CSU's administration has been in open conflict with faculty members who contribute to "CSU Faculty Voice." The blog is known for criticizing alleged cronyism, waste and the generally questionable management decisions of the university. In November, lawyers for the administration demanded the blog be taken down, claiming […]» Read More
Education Colleges Learn Risks of Curbing Free Speech
July 8, 2014
By Bob Kellogg at OneNewsNow During its fifteenth anniversary of fighting for free speech rights on college campuses, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education filed four lawsuits in one day. F.I.R.E. is coordinating lawsuits against Ohio University, Chicago State University, Iowa State University and Citrus College in California. Litigation Coordinator Catherine Sevcenko explains the strategy behind this new effort at curbing unconstitutional speech policies. "We have sort of hit a core of universities that seem to think that they don't have to worry about their unconstitutional policies," she says. "And so we are trying to change that calculus." She says the […]» Read More
UNLV Must Champion Free Speech on Campus — or Face Potential Lawsuit
July 7, 2014
At Las Vegas Review-Journal Free speech, a cornerstone of our nation's democracy, is supposed to thrive on college and university campuses. Students can best sharpen their critical thinking skills through open, robust debate on any and all ideas. All too often, however, the free exchange of ideas on campuses only goes as far as the sensibilities of the most easily offended. As a result, administrators at campuses across the country — including right here in Nevada — have increasingly embraced heavy-handed, politically correct policies that discourage and even prohibit protected speech. These policies include the implementation of speech codes, required permits […]» Read More
Suing for Speech on Campus
July 7, 2014
By Spencer Case at National Review Online Free speech on campus is about to get its day in court. Last week the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) brought four lawsuits against universities with speech codes they believe are unconstitutionally restrictive. The lawsuits mark the launch of the Stand Up for Free Speech Litigation Project, which aims to end barriers to free speech on campus nationwide. FIRE has been an advocate for liberty on campus since it was founded 15 years ago. They have brought lawsuits in the past when efforts to persuade university administrations to abandon unconstitutional practices have failed. […]» Read More
Chicago State Stomps out Free Speech
July 7, 2014
By Azhar Majeed at Chicago Tribune As residents of Chicago know, Chicago State University has run into a seemingly never-ending series of legal and administrative problems over the years. So it's probably no surprise that Chicago State fares poorly in respecting the First Amendment rights of its students and faculty. That's why the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (where I am an attorney) helped two faculty members file suit against the school last week. It's one of four lawsuits launched on a single day with the aim of changing the culture of censorship on campuses nationwide to one where free […]» Read More

By Deirdre Fulton at Mint Press News A Philadelphia-based nonprofit devoted to defending free speech and civil liberties on college campuses filed four lawsuits on Tuesday and announced the launch of its Stand Up For Speech Litigation Project, "a national effort to eliminate unconstitutional speech codes through targeted First Amendment lawsuits." The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), founded in 1999 by University of Pennsylvania professor Alan Charles Kors and Boston civil liberties lawyer Harvey Silverglate, brought lawsuits against Citrus College in California, Iowa State University, Chicago State University, and Ohio University.

FIRE Launches 'Stand Up For Speech' Litigation Project to End Speech Codes
July 3, 2014
By Robert Shibley at National Review Online For more than two decades, speech codes—policies on college campuses that limit what and where students may engage in free expression—have been a constant problem. First struck down (in the modern era of political correctness, anyway) 25 years ago in the case of Doe v. Michigan, speech codes have nevertheless hung on and miseducated a generation of students about freedom while robbing them of their basic rights. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE, where I work) has spent its 15 years of existence fighting these codes, systematically classifying them, and engaging in public advocacy aimed at convincing […]» Read More

Philly-Based Group Sues 4 Universities for Free Speech
July 2, 2014
By Joel Mathis at Philadelphia Magazine A Philly-based advocacy group, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, has sued four universities across the country, saying those institutions are squelching their students' First Amendment rights. The New York Times reports: "We're cultivating an intellectually unhealthy attitude that it is not O.K., or even dangerous, to hear opinions that might make you uncomfortable," said Greg Lukianoff, the president of the group filing the suits. "Universities have been much too shy in saying that there's a great educational benefit from hearing dissent.

The Good Fight: FIRE Suing Colleges and Universities over Speech Codes
July 2, 2014
By Michael Barone at Washington Examiner Once upon a time, American colleges and universities prided themselves on being a zone of free expression, open to ideas, in a society that often censored speech and pressured citizens into conformism. How things have changed! Now college and university campuses are among the least free parts of our society, with speech codes and censorship enforced by armies of administrators. Fortunately there is an organization fighting this state of affairs: FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. FIRE has represented students against administrators bent on censorship and has catalogued the restrictions on speech […]» Read More
American Universities Are Restricting an Important Right — And Students Are Fighting Back
July 2, 2014
By Jenna Kagel at News.Mic A free speech crackdown in modern day America: We expect to hear stories on repressing freedom of speech in countries like Russia, not in the U.S. But right here in the land of the free, American universities, the pillars of protest movements and open dialogue, are suppressing free speech. In response, the first-ever coordinated legal battle against U.S. universities was filed on Tuesday in four states as part of the "Stand Up for Speech" litigation project. Three-fifths of public colleges violate the First Amendment by imposing free speech policies on their campuses. American universities are banning […]» Read More

By Ronald K.L. Collins at Concurring Opinions July 1, 2014, National Press Club, Washington, D.C. Today, two powerhouses — one a free speech activist, the other a noted First Amendment lawyer — joined forces to challenge campus free speech codes that run afoul of the First Amendment. Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) and Robert Corn-Revere, a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine (DWT), announced that the group and the law firm would work together in a litigation campaign to change the free speech culture on many campuses across the nation.

Colleges Are Slowly Taking Away Your First Amendment Rights
July 2, 2014
By Robert Shibley at The Washington Post September 17 last year was a pretty bad day for the Constitution on our campuses. Robert Van Tuinen of Modesto Junior College in California was prevented from passing out copies of the Constitution outside of his college's tiny "free speech zone." Near Los Angeles, Citrus College student Vinny Sinapi-Riddle was threatened with removal from campus for the "offense" of collecting signatures for a petition against NSA domestic surveillance outside his college's tiny free speech area. I mention September 17 because that was Constitution Day. These attempts to silence students are all in a day's […]» Read More

The FIRE Launches National Litigation Effort against Campus Speech Codes
July 1, 2014
By William A. Jacobson at Legal Insurrection Almost daily we report here and at College Insurrection on the almost insane application of campus speech codes, frequently utilized disproportionately against non-politically correct (i.e. conservative) students and groups. Speech codes are closely related to other forms of campus oppression, like the stripping of due process rights for men accused under vague and overly-broad definitions of sexual assault and subjected to kangaroo courts. It all part of enforcing compliance with a dominant campus ideology (almost always progressive and radical feminist). Our friends at The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) have led the fight against speech codes for […]» Read More

4 Free Speech Lawsuits in One Morning: Stepping Up the Fight Against Campus Speech Codes
July 1, 2014
By Greg Lukianoff at The Huffington Post For seven years I have written for The Huffington Post about the problem of campus speech codes — absurd, often unconstitutional restrictions on the free speech of college students and professors. Today, my organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has a big announcement about a major step in the decades-long war against campus speech codes. Here is my statement from our press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.: Twenty-five years ago we had reason to think that the "temporary insanity" of campus speech codes had come to an end.

By Teresa Watanabe at Los Angeles Times Vincenzo Sinapi-Riddle is a passionate libertarian who was thrilled to attend Citrus College in Glendora for what he imagined would be a quintessential college experience of unbridled debate. But after he arrived last year, he learned that the college required all petitioning, pamphleting and other expressive activities be confined to a small "free speech area" on the campus quad. And when he launched his first petition effort last fall, he said — against spying by the National Security Agency — an administrator told him he was outside the designated zone and warned that he […]» Read More

Chicago State University Continues to Squeeze Faculty Free Speech

Supporters of FIRE's mission to defend free speech in academia may already be familiar with Chicago State University's years-long campaign to shut down criticism of its administration. Some of its staunchest critics, however—a group of faculty members who blog at CSU Faculty Voice—refuse to be silenced. CSU has employed a number of methods to try to silence the faculty blog, from making preposterous trademark infringement claims against the bloggers to enacting a broad "cyberbullying" policy with which to silence the Faculty Voice. In response, professors Phillip Beverly and Robert Bionaz joined forces with FIRE this summer to sue CSU for infringing […]» Read More

This Fourth of July, Students and Faculty Are 'Retracing the Steps to Free Speech'
July 4, 2014
We learn in grade school that freedom of speech is the hallmark of a free nation and the cornerstone of democracy. Yet the urge to censor seems almost irresistible, no matter who wields authority. As FIRE followers know all too well, public colleges and universities routinely restrict and punish constitutionally protected expression. In academia, where First Amendment freedoms are most precious, they are at serious risk. Nearly 60 percent of the 427 institutions that FIRE has surveyed maintain policies that clearly and substantially infringe upon freedom of speech.» Read More

Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner
Michael Strahan is pretending like he is retiring. Maybe he just wants more money. Maybe he wants to stick it to his ex wife, who he owes millions and millions and millions of dollars to for spousal and child support.
Matt Leinart also got some bad news. The mother of his child, Brynn Cameron, demanded $30,000/month in child support for their infant. Matt thought the $6,000/month plus automobile he was providing was enough. The law disagreed. Brynn Cameron has been awarded $15,000/month in child support.
See, Junior's got to get his money.
Have you ever wondered why some mothers get huge child support awards? Racking your brain over how many diapers $15,000 can buy? Salty that these women are seemingly getting over?
Rich parents pay all that child support because of the legal theory that the child should enjoy the lifestyle of the parents. The child should not be deprived because his/her parents aren't together and the poorer parent shouldn't be put in the position where the child prefers the richer parent because the rich parent can buy more stuff. The standard applies in some states, not all.
It may seem like a payment like $15K/month is more than any kid needs. But rich kids have greater needs. They "need" fancy clothes, ski trips, etc. Have you ever watched Laguna Beach? Do you realize how much a twelve year old girl can drop on jeans and t-shirts? The custodial parent has to provide them with a similar lifestyle that they would have with the rich parent. So, yes, the child support is intended to allow that parent to buy a nice house, car, etc.
Trying to specifically allot the money to the child is problematic. The mother has to live in the same house with her rich kid. The rich kid can't drive his own Benz. And if the rich kid has siblings? Well, they get a cut too. You don't want a rich kid to hate his own brothers and sisters just because they are poor, do you?
Well, why not just make the custodial parent show the rich parent the actual receipts each month? Because the court is not trying to be in your business all the time. The legal system would be put in the position of constantly monitoring and interfering in the family. There are so many child support awards to enforce. There are no resources to do monthly accounting checks. And that is the case whether the child support award is $100 or $100,000.
But still, there are a few ways to avoid the burden of child support:
1. Stay together
2. Get full custody of your kids; and/or
3. Don't pick a trifling
Otherwise, if your bar tab and your child support payment could be the same amount, no complaining.

3rd, that is right THIRD baby announcement this week. How is it possible that seemingly everyone I know is pregnant and I can't get pregnant? 2 of the 3 were not trying. Well, one was trying for exactly one month.
I am so upset I can hardly bear it.
Thanks to Chrissy over at SMFB for my AMAZING siggy!

When is your shipping deadline?
Is a kid's helmet worth it? The following article details how a helmets saved a childs life:
Headlining Helmets
Worldwide, advocates for helmet use in childrens sports have taken a strong stance in their effort to reduce head injuries. In the U.S., 20 states have bicycle helmet laws on the books for children, while the International Inline Skating Association supports legislation requiring persons under the age of 18 to wear helmets while inline skating, and strongly recommends voluntary use of helmets by all skaters. France recently launched a nationwide campaign to promote ski helmets for children and, back in the U.S., both the Aspen Skiing Company and Crested Butte have announced that all ski and snowboard students age 12 and younger are required to wear helmets while attending lessons. In another example of the growing emphasis on helmets, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission also recommends using a bicycle helmet while on a scooter.
Helmet Dos and Donts
Having established that helmets are a good idea, what do you do next? To help you decide your next step, Snowshack offers a short list of Dos and Donts for parents:
Tips for Choosing A Helmet Online
First, determine what type of helmet your child needs. We carry bike/BMX helmets, which are also appropriate for inline skating, as well as whitewater rafting and kayaking helmets for kids at www.hardheadedsports.com, while www.snowshack.com features skiing and snowboarding helmets for kids.
To find the right size helmet, you need to measure your childs head. Take a tailor's measuring tape and measure his or her head above the top of the ears and just above the eyebrows. Make sure you measure the largest part of the head. The tape should be snug but not pulled tight. Then use the online chart to convert inches to centimeters. Sizes are listed in a range of centimeters, fitting pads and straps provide the final adjustments.
See the fitting guides for each make of helmet. Logic suggests that more shell means more protection, however we have yet to see a study that confirms this. Ski/snowboard helmets have to go through the same set of tests (drop, puncture, crash, etc.) in order to gain certification and again I don't know of separate tests for each shell design.

Can anyone recommend me a new company to deal with licensing please?
We've been using Viglen (despite getting rid of classlink this year), the guy there has been really helpful and their pricing has been the best we've found for a lot of licensing bits.
I've found WStore and Insight to both be very helpful and very competitive on licensing. Our school agreement is currently through WStore
We used Pugh for our licencing, who beat other companies for us, however a school down the road from us has similar requirements and they went with ramesys as they were cheaper for them.
Its best to ring around and get quotes.
We seem to mostly end up using Academia here (Educational Software, Academic Software, Educational software licensing, Training Resources, discounted Student Software, discounted Education Software). They pretty much always seem to give us the best prices.
We use insight as well. Very good service, and very helpful. Had a conference call with one of their licensing guys the other day to work our way through licensing requirements for App-V - very informative. Also, our account manager there is ace! (best price I've found as well for licensing)
Phoenix Software is the company I deal with usually.
I've also gone down the PC World Education (Business) Licensing before too - they pretty much bought my custom one year by undercutting everyone else!
We use Phoenix, Ramesys or Pugh, depending on what we're buying. For certain products/company's software one of them is usually cheaper than the other off the bat. Ramesys can usually (with sufficient encouragement) beat Phoenix on bulk Microsoft pricing, but on Citrix (for example) Phoenix have (or offer, straight-up) much better pricing.
For a lot of software, the difference is pennies, so pick the best service.
sparkeh (6th November 2009)
There are not that many MS Licensing Distributors - and most schools have to deal with the resellers or ISV's.
They are working on wafer thin margins and volumes to make it profitable for them.
If they put enough Licensing out they may get an extra kick back out of the Disty but the margins are still thin.
So it all comes down to how much effort is your account manager prepared to put in for your requirements.
It may be so time consuming that he is unlikely to make anything out of it, but that depends on what other business comes his way on the back of his or her efforts.
Sometimes paying a little bit more for a quality service is what you need to do.
Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick any two (you can't have all three).
Ramesys and Proband. Proband haven't been as competitive recently, Ramesys is always the cheapest for MS from experience of the bigger ones. Infact... if you mention Ramesys alot of people don't bother to quote :-(
Another vote for Phoenix here, found them very easy and reasonable to deal with.
ProBrand here too
Did a lot of work with Ramesys & Misco for licensing at the last place.

i know BUGbase use Linux,and Android is Linux too?
so,can i run Android on the BUGbase?so Bugbase is a Android PDA. :shock:
107 posts
A lot of people have been asking that question (including myself). The hardware for both is based on the ARM architecture, and both are based on the Linux kernel, so putting Android on the BUG will be a lot easier than hacking a propriety phone. One thing I know about the free software community, is that if enough people want something badly it gets done. A lot of people are going to want to run Android on the BUG, so I bet as soon as the BUG gets out there, people are going to do it, hopefully they will come back to the forums and post how-tos. I am sure it will be done, but I don't see any advantage that would drive me to do it right away.
There are a few snags:
So you could get the BUG, and put the Android stack on it rather than the Bug Labs stack of software, it shouldn't be too difficult, you would miss some functionality at first, but that will get fixed over time.
However , you won't get the cool OSGi stuff to handle modules getting put in and taken out like our stack handles because Android isn't designed for a changing device. I guess if the Android community has a lot of apps you wanted to bring in, that would make it worth it. But I think our community is going to be making a lot of interesting apps because they have access to hardware like the motion detector and that an Android phone never will. Run of the mill PDA apps are needed on both, but if its a choice between that sweet contact list on Android or the ho-hum contact list that someone made for BUG, I would rather just refactor the Android one than throw out the BUG stack and lose all the server tracker stuff, open source licenses in action!
In the end who knows what will happen, as soon as the hardware gets out there and the community can start hacking with them, it will evolve in ways we can't predict. Android will probably change over time, as far as I can tell they are much further away from launching hardware for it than we are. So people are going to be hacking it to go on on locked phones, that is a lot more difficult than getting it onto an open source device like the BUG. I hope that ultimately the two will get closer together so its not a BUG stack OR Android stack, but that the two are interchangeable. There will be BUG apps that can't run on Android phones, but if all the core PDA and cell phone apps of Android could run on BUG, that would be cool. It kind of reminds me the freedesktop.org stuff where they are trying to unify KDE and GNOME and all the others to be compatible, that is how many years after they started? Android and OpenMoko and BUG are the harbringers of the opening up of consumer electronics, who knows what will happen as things evolve, and that is the really cool part of open source.
So in the end I guess my answer is, I have no idea, but technically it is possible so Android will likely run on the BUG base in the future but no one has tried it out yet.
215 posts
Couldn't have said it better myself Kevin…good post. In summary the BUGbase as a hardware platform should in theory support the Andriod OS. The notion of modular hardware and services, to my (limited) knowledge does not play into the Andriod platform, and as such that type of functionality would not be available via an Andriod'ed BUG.

Thank you,Kevin! :lol:
I will waiting for my own BUG anyway,then i will try it out…
2 posts
Thanks for the explanation. What about a way of virtualizing the Andriod "machine" within the Bug?
215 posts
Hi Bayswim,
That may be possible. Resources may be an issue and I'm not aware of any ARM-based virtualization software. Another suitable approach may be to just run the Dalvik (?) VM and class libraries alongside of PhoneME.

17 Costume Fails You Should Avoid This Halloween
Halloween is a great time to come up with creative costumes, but you have to put some effort to the ordeal. If you don't, you might end up like these examples. Once you got your tips and LOLs, celebrate Halloween early with "Frankenweenie," in theaters now. Get Tickets.
1. Avoid taping cutlery to your hands.
Unless you are dressing up as Edward Plastic-Fork-Hands for Halloween, stay away from strapping items that belong at a picnic.
2. If you're going to be a ghost, use a plain sheet.
And ask mom before cutting them up.
3. Mummies are another classic.
But don't use the one-ply toilet paper from the public restroom. It will tear immediately, and you'll just be a sad person with toilet paper hanging off your shoe.
4. Cardboard boxes can be used tastefully…
Sometimes. Not this time.
5. Wall-E is crying robatic tears right now.
6. Store-bought costumes can be alright…
Unless this is what you think the Cheshire Cat looks like. Prepare for disappearing smiles.
7. Oh, here's the feminine version.
Sexy Cheshire Cat has a nice ring… doesn't it?
8. Group costumes can be fun!
But these aren't the droids we were looking for…
9. Avoid draping yourself in trash bags.
Because this is the hero you deserve (if you decide to make your costume out of garbage).
10. If you use body paint, make sure to spread it evenly on your skin.
You don't want to be feeling blue at the party.
11. Also… make sure you actually buy enough paint.
12. Oh, but don't put too much on!
Give some of that paint to the Smurfs up there.
13. Construction paper is great…
For posters, scrap books, origami… but not costumes. Paper will also inevitably crinkle and tear. Proceed with caution.
14. Avoid wrapping yourself in tin foil.
15. If you have to write what you are, you're probably not doing it right.
Even if you're trying to be "ironic."

REVIEW SUMMARY: With cutting wit and sharp dialogue, this book of the living dead explodes with life.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: In the world of tomorrow, every man, woman and child is infected with the potential to rise from the dead, but it is still a world ruled by political agenda that will stop at nothing. A sister and brother blogging team seek the truth and a little zombie action, in an ever-descending downward spiral.
PROS: Snarky and cutting wit; excellent future prognosis in a well realized zombie world.
CONS: First-person narrative lacked some of the descriptive exposition to better reveal the physical world; main antagonist is revealed a little late and is a tad obvious.
BOTTOM LINE: With a narrative that speaks to the reader you are drawn into a world of the future that seems so plausible it may have you looking up Doctor Kellis and checking the existence of the filovirus Marburg EX19, just to make sure you don't need to stock up on ammo and blood testing units. It's zombies, bloggers, politics, technology and medical revolutions all mixed into a bloody cocktail and poured for your enjoyment. Beware of snarky dialogue that will make you smirk.

While 'all-natural' and 'no additives & preservatives' were still among the most popular food and drink label claims in the US last year, the fastest growth was in economy, low/no/reduced allergen, high-protein and low/no/reduced saturated fat claims, according to Mintel.
A breakdown of the top 50 claims on US food and drink products in 2011 on Mintel's Global New Products Database reveals that 5,606 new products out of 20,455 (27%) featured a kosher claim; followed by 2,809 (13.7%) featuring environmentally-friendly packaging claims; 2,680 (13.1%) featuring 'all-natural' claims; and 2,645 (12.9%) featuring 'no additives & preservatives' claims.
However, all of these numbers were slightly down on 2010, with growth coming from other areas such as economy, allergen-free and GMO-free claims.
Indeed, one of the claims demonstrating the most consistent growth since 2008 has been 'economy', which featured on 406 new products in 2009, 578 in 2010, 742 in 2011 and 515 in the first half of 2012 alone, indicating that the figure for the full year in 2012 will top 1,000.
Allergen-free claims on 10.86% of new products in 2011
Meanwhile, the number of new products featuring low/no/reduced allergen claims rose from 1,369 in 2009 to 2,210 in 2010 to 2,222 (10.86% of new products) in 2011.
Gluten-free claims rose from 1,945 in 2010 to 1,992 (9.7%) in 2011, while the number of products making low/no/reduced lactose claims rose from 256 in 2010 to 363 in 2011.
Low saturated fat, high-protein, GMO-free and antioxidant claims
While low-fat, low-sodium and low-trans-fat claims dropped off in 2011, the number of products featuring low/no/reduced saturated fat claims grew from 186 in 2010 to 207 in 2011, although this still represents a very small percentage (1%) of new product launches overall.
Similarly, there were notable rises in high-protein claims (up from 319 in 2010 to 338 in 2011) and GMO-free claims (up from 343 in 2010 to 549 in 2011).
Antioxidant claims, which peaked in 2008 but dropped off again in 2009 and 2010, rose again in 2011; while whole grain claims rose sharply from 599 in 2009 to 930 in 2010 before dropping off slightly in 2011 to 809 (just under 4%) claims.
The biggest loser? Organics
One of the biggest losers has been organics, with new products featuring organic claims dropping from 2,299 in 2008 to 1,497 in 2009, 1591 in 2010 and just 1,328 in 2011.

Last Sunday was amazing in The Tree House! During both Sunday School hours, the children assembled 60 "Blessings Bags" for the less fortunate. We talked about Matthew 22:37-39 "He replied, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is: You must love your neighbor as you love yourself," which is the story of the Good Samaritan from Luke.
The Blessing Bags include bottled water, peanut butter crackers, cheese crackers, granola bars, a pair of socks, a comb and toothbrush, and a small first aid kit. The bags are to be kept in the car and shared with someone less fortunate. The kids all took bags and also shared them with the adult Sunday School classes in the EMC. Thank you to the many people who donated items and to Ginnie Colbert, Mark Wood and Deanna Feil who helped Sunday morning.

She appeared to be considering it last month, but Janet Jackson has now officially passed on Simon Cowell's offer to take part in The X-Factor. The pop icon, 45, said in a statement on Thursday that she's "very flattered that X Factor let me know that I was being considered for next season, but it just wouldn't be possible."
Why is the judging panel not a possibility for Janet? The singer's rep tells E! News that she has her hands full with two other projects: her Number Ones Up Close & Personal Tour, and an upcoming Tyler Perry film. In fact, the rep says she's so busy that she has had "absolutely no meetings" with Cowell and company. (Simon told E! in February that Jackson was "being discussed" as a judge.)
So who is still being considered to replace fired X Factor judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger? Britney Spears is reportedly lobbying for a position at the judge's table, and her efforts seem to be paying off; new reports say that Cowell is "definitely talking" to the "Till the World Ends" singer. Simon has also said that Pink and Katy Perry are up for consideration.
"I worked with Katy once," Cowell told Extra. "I think she would be fun because she is hard -- in a good way -- and she's feisty."
Also on Cowell's wish list: Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Fergie -- although all three may be long shots. In the past, he's also thrown out the names George Michael and Nicki Minaj (both of whom seem more likely than Beyonce or Mariah).
Whatever choice Simon makes, he needs to make it soon: season 2 auditions have already begun.

Buick Debuts Luxury Small Crossover: the 2013 EncoreBy emarketing | Posted in Buick on Wednesday, January 25th, 2012 at 4:33 am
Buick Debuts 2013 Encore crossover in Detroit
Recently a new model joined the Buick lineup that will help to differentiate Buick a little more and bring it into new sectors of the auto industry. The 2013 Buick Encore is a luxury small crossover that has unique style, luxurious amenities and interior and a drivability that is only available in a Buick. Medved Autoplex, one of the leading Buick dealerships in Castle Rock, CO is very excited about the new Encore and cant wait to see it in our stores.
The Encore debuted to much fan fare at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, but will not go on sale until early in 2013. The small crossover received a lot of attention and is sure to be a hit once Buick brings it out in stores.
With room for five and 48.4 cubic feet of storage space when the rear seat is folded, the Encore has plenty of space inside. All-wheel drive is available and the vehicle has 10 standard air bags. The engine is an award-winning 1.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder.
One of the most notable features of the Buick Encore is the standard availability of QuietTuning in this vehicle. QuietTuning is what makes a Buick a Buick. Sound, vibration and other noises are blocked off by the technology that Buick uses in its vehicles that come standard in the Encore. Specific steps and content was applied to the Encore to ensure that it is completely equipped with noise-canceling technology. It has ceiling-mounted microphones that detect engine noise and send frequencies to a computer that directs counteracting sound waves through the audio system's speakers and subwoofers. All of this makes for a luxurious and enjoyable driving experience.
Built on a global small-crossover platform, the Encore has been so precisely tuned for a great driving refinement that it will be a sure contender for a top luxury SUV. Medved Autoplex is proud to sell the Buick brand and while this vehicle is still a year away from hitting our lots, we are excited about its debut.
If you are interested in a Buick car in Castle Rock, then Medved is the place to go. We also carry many other new cars, trucks and SUVs plus used cars in Castle Rock. Stop in to check out our great selection and go home with your new or used car today.

Karim Rashid's Kit24 house was revealed several weeks ago at Toronto's 2006 Interior Design Show. When we last wrote about Kit24, we could only gaze at the candy-coated renderings and dream of how the project might manifest itself in its final form. Well, it appears Rashid made good on the promises of his imagery and didn't let reality water down his vision. Looking like the perfect love shack for Barbie and Austin Powers, this 1800 sq-ft, eye-popping prototype has drawn lines of gawkers and more than a few critics. Our likeminded fellow bloggers over atTreehugger actually got to visit Rashid's version of domicile bliss and they were kind enough to post plans for the house (which appear to be taken from a text book on single-celled organisms). More photographs of this super-mod prefab project are available at the Italian Charms online magazine EuropaConcorsi.
