The Healthy Schools Program is a project of the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, which was co-founded by the American Heart Association and the Clinton Foundation.
Last year Leah Ferretti, former science lab specialist, submitted documentation about the healthy changes taking place at the school.
Earlier this school year, Bell Academy achieved the 2013 Bronze National Recognition Award for the Healthy Schools Program.
Kristen Smith, science specialist and health coordinator at Bell Academy, said, "Bell Academy is honored to be the only school recognized in the state of Mississippi for our dedication to teaching students how to live a healthy lifestyle. We plan to build off of our success and reach the next level with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. "
Smith accepted the award during the award ceremony from former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
"Each school distinguished itself with healthy eating and physical activity programs and policies that meet or exceed stringent standards set by the Healthy Schools Program. Schools are eligible for National Recognition Awards at the Bronze, Silver, or Gold level based on the standards they achieve," according to a press release from Healthier Generation.
"Giving children the right kind of food is crucial to their well-being and success," said former President Bill Clinton, co-founder of the Alliance for a Healthier Generation along with the American Heart Association. "The Healthy Schools Program proves that, with proper planning and support, there seems to be no reason why all districts can't meet nutritional standards and serve their students healthy, enjoyable meals."
Bell Academy will receive one large indoor banner, posters to hang around the school, one certificate of recognition, and other celebratory items.
Cleveland School District Superintendent Jackie Thigpen praised the school for its accomplishments.
"Mrs. Swafford and the Bell Academy staff and students are to be commended for receiving the 2013 Bronze National Recognition Award presented by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. Health Education was implemented as one of the themes for Bell Academy; the other two are Math and Science. Their efforts to create a healthier school and community have paid off," she said.

(ARA) - You've probably dreamed about what you'd do if you won the lottery - quit your job, build your dream home or even donate a large sum of money to your favorite charity. The allure of a huge amount of money falling into your lap cannot be denied. Scammers know these dreams and feelings well, and prey on them, making lottery and sweepstakes scams one of the most prevalent types of scams out there, according to the Better Business Bureau.
While your chances of winning the actual lottery may already be slim, you not only won't win with scammers - you'll likely lose money. These types of scams work in a number of ways, and all of them end with an unsuspecting victim losing. Here are three common ways scammers use the promise of big winnings to their advantage:
* A scammer claiming to be associated with a government agency, a well-known celebrity or someone associated with a sweepstakes or lottery tells a victim he or she has won a large sum of money. The victim is told to send money to cover processing fees or taxes before receiving the prize. The victim then pays these "fees," and never hears from the scammer again.
* A scammer sends a victim a check or money order and claims it's a prize. The victim is asked to deposit this money and send a smaller portion of money back to cover fees or taxes. The problem occurs when the victim deposits the check or money order and sends the scammer the money as directed before the check clears which can take weeks. Banks don't always immediately identify the "winning" check as fake until it's too late and the money has already be sent to the scammer. The victim is responsible to the bank for any used funds from the check.
* A scammer emails or sends a victim information about a foreign lottery, or another alternative lottery or sweepstakes that offers better odds of winning than a traditional lottery. The victim sends money to the scammer for a chance at winning, but the lottery or sweepstakes doesn't actually exist.
The common thread in all of these scams is they require victims to send money in advance to claim a prize, which is never the case with a legitimate lottery or sweepstakes. "The No. 1 rule consumers need to remember to protect themselves from falling victim to this scam is to never, ever send money to claim a prize," says Shelley Bernhardt, director of consumer protection at Western Union, a leader in global payment services. Bernhardt offers these additional tips to avoid becoming a victim in a lottery or sweepstakes scam:
* Never send money to pay for taxes or fees on lottery or prize winnings. Legitimate sweepstakes don't require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning or to pay taxes or processing fees to get your prize.
* Never play anything claiming to be a foreign lottery. And this is not just because it might be a scam - it's actually illegal to play a foreign lottery.
* Only send money to people you have met personally, know and trust.
* Never provide your banking or any other sensitive personal information to an individual or business you don't know, especially if they claim they need it in exchange for a prize.
* Always wait to withdraw funds from your account until after a check or money order clears, which can take weeks.
* If you suspect a scam, check out the company or individual who contacted you with law enforcement, the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) or another trusted source.
As a trusted method for sending money to family members and friends, Western Union encourages users of their services to be vigilant about scams and fraud.

Review: 'Fox on the Fairway' a hilarious romp

He believes he has the best golfer playing on his side, so Henry is convinced that his team can't lose.
That's why he commits to an outrageous wager in which he bets $200,000, his wife's antique business and his job as the president of the Briar Ridge Country Club.
But the possibility that he could lose everything soon becomes a reality when the golfer Henry counted on has gone to the other side in the hilarious Chicago-area premiere of "The Fox on the Fairway," now playing at Theatre at the Center in Munster, Ind.
Of course, since the frothy confection by Ken Ludwig ("Lend Me a Tenor," "Crazy for You") is a comic farce, things soon spiral out of control with zany complications.
As the humorous plot begins to thicken, madcap moments build to a crescendo of crowd-pleasing hilarity.
It's not just that the intricate shenanigans of the romantic romp keep one in stitches, but the rapid-fire zingers and witty dialogue makes this the best Ludwig comedy to date.
In a farce such as this, timing is everything, and the gears of this show move like precision clockwork.
Director William Pullinsi has crafted the show with a subtle touch, making sure the characters don't come across as caricatures, but as real people.
To that end, he has brought together a consummate group of performers who dazzle us with razor-sharp portrayals.
Lance Baker, perhaps more widely known for his dramatic roles, now goes against type to deliver a compelling gem of a droll, Noel Coward-esque turn as the worldly-wise Henry.
Linda Gillum, as Henry's wisecracking confidant and love interest, is a hoot with her nose-in-the-air and grander-than-thou crustiness as she shells out very funny one-liners such as this gem:
"Golf and sex are the only things you can enjoy without having to be good at it."
There's also Michael Mahler in a charming turn as the new hired hand who is so lovesick over his beautiful girlfriend, Louise (playfully performed by Kate Bergeron), that he just may ruin the golf game of Sam Snead and Arnold Palmer for the country club.
Other contributors to the humorous frolic include Norm Boucher in a cunning and roguish portrayal of Dickie, the guy who concocts the 43rd annual grudge match between the opposing country clubs, and Laura Freeman as Henry's wild bully of a wife.
"The Fox on the Fairway" is a riot of a hilarious show.
To add to its joyful exuberance, sound designer Barry G. Funderburg has heightened the fun-filled, upbeat mood of the production by inserting melodious musical numbers.
These include a John Philip Sousa march, Richard Wagner's "Tannhauser" and "The William Tell Overture."

Ever since I bit into my first animal cracker I fell in love (although I never understood why they were called crackers when they tasted like cookies). However, the majority of animal crackers contain some type of partially hydrogenated oil, which I am doing my best to avoid. Therefore, when I found Barbara's Snackimals Vanilla Animal Cookies, the child in me snatched them right up. Snackimals are made with the highest quality natural and organic ingredients and contain none of the artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or trans fats found in old-fashioned animal cookies.
First off, these are definitely cookies and not crackers. They are flatter than the average animal 'cracker' and therefore, crispier and less flaky. The taste is not over-the-top stellar, but does represent the wholesome ingredients that go into these crunchy little guys. To improve upon the taste I would prefer a slightly sweeter cookie and personally, I am not sure if I thoroughly enjoy the vanilla flavor which is more of a light aftertaste.
One complaint I have is that I bought what looks like a single serving sized bag that actually contains 2 servings (I hate when companies do that to us!). Nevertheless, half of the 60 gram bag of Barbara's Snackimals Vanilla Animal Cookies has 110 calories (so the whole bag would only set you back 220 calories), 4 grams of total fat (6% of the recommended daily amount), no saturated fat or cholesterol, 65 mg of sodium (3% of the RDA), no fiber (my second and last complaint), 5 grams of sugar and 2 grams of protein. The short ingredient list contains organic wheat flour, unsulphured molasses, organic expeller pressed safflower or sunflower oil, natural vanilla flavor, sea salt, soy lecithin, baking soda and aluminum free baking powder. As you can see, these sweet treats are comprised of organic grains, no hydrogenated oils and 100% natural ingredients.
I paid $0.99 for a 2.125 oz bag (which is also available online). Barbara's Snackimals are also available in Chocolate Chip, SnickerDoodle and Wheat Free Oatmeal, and I think I would prefer to try the other flavors, before I commit to this one. I would buy these again sometime, but I would never go out of my way or over my budget in order to do so.

The Best of Tradition
A classic country house with a colorful twist
By Cynthia Kling
It's not an uncommon fantasy among sophisticated Manhattanitestrading in the urban digs (while maintaining a pied-à-terre, of course) for a great old house in New York's historic Hudson Valleyone with big fireplaces and lots of room for grandchildren and guests, as well as views of some of America's loveliest countryside.
That's exactly what a financier and his wife, a former antiques dealer, were looking for when, after renting in the area for several years, they decided to make the leap and trade in their Upper East Side townhouse for a place in the country. Then reality hit. "We looked for ages," says the wife. "Most of the houses were dark and close to the road." Not to mention they are often jumbled on top of one another and, with their huge rooms, difficult to heat in the winter and cool in the summer.

Fox Valley native tells of experience in Watertown bomb hunt lockdown
By Dave Gathman email@example.com April 19, 2013 10:34AM
Updated: May 22, 2013 6:36AM
"It's eerily quiet, except that we can hear lots of helicopters overhead," Elgin High School grad Karen Repetny said as she watched the tense search for Boston's bombing fugitive from a mile or so away Friday.
The Hanover Park native now lives in Watertown, Mass., where the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing had fought a gun battle with police the night before. One continued to be a fugitive until Friday night, forcing Watertown residents to remain tensely shut up behind locked doors until he finally was found inside a boat in one family's backyard.
In fact, the search set off an unprecedented near-shutdown not only of Watertown but of the entire Boston area, with mass transit halted, pro athletic games canceled and businesses asked to close.
"We were asleep when all this first happened" Thursday night, Repetny said in a phone interview. "When we woke up about 5 a.m., our phones were full of text messages from friends saying, 'Turn on the news and stay where you are.' "
Repetny's sister, Margaret Peebles, works at Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin. Repetny said she works as an analyst for a pharmaceutical company in Cambridge, the town just east of Watertown where Thursday's running gun battle began. Soon after she awoke, she said, she got an email from her boss saying she shouldn't come to work because the company would be closed all day.
Her husband Utsav Saxena, who works as a scientist for a biotech firm, received a similar message from his boss.
"Every company is closed," she said Friday before the second suspect was captured. "This is marathon and Patriots Day week in Massachusetts anyway, so the schools are closed all week. But we have no traffic going by except for the helicopters."
Repetny said she had heard that police were going door to door and that cellphone channels were jammed by authorities for awhile to prevent phones possibly being used to set off bombs, but her family had not yet been visited by officers and her cellphone seemed to be working fine.
She noted that the area where the gun battle took place, and the area where fugitive Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was finally captured, are on the other side of Watertown, so the search probably focused here. "But all of Watertown is only about four square miles," she said. "We keep hearing places mentioned and saying, 'That's awfully close.' "
She said Watertown is a close-in suburb with "a lot of townhouses and three-flats and a lot of houses that have been split into condos. It began as a middle-class suburb; but now, if you're middle-class, you probably can't afford to live here."
She said she and her husband watched the events via TV news for awhile but turned to another channel because they have a 2-year-old child.
She said Friday that she understood the need to close everything down to keep residents safe, but "I just wish we had gone to the grocery store last night."

Everybody Loves Roenicke
milwaukee brewers November 2nd, 2010
After two locals reported the Brewers hired someone they didn't really hire (Bobby Valentine and Bob Brenly) a Chicago Sun Times reporter stepped in to scoop the city and report that Ron Roenicke was the new Milwaukee Brewers manager. Hey, great job Milwaukee media!
(To be fair, it's not like he was in the final four candidates or anything.)
Roenicke has spent the past six years working under Mike Scioscia as the bench coach in Anaheim. For that reason alone I like this hiring. Scioscia is probably one of the top five managers in the game right now and he surrounds himself with smart, like minded people. The last two coaches to leave the Angels, Joe Maddon and Bud Black, have had quite a bit of success so let's hope that Roenicke makes it three for three.
Roenicke was by far the underdog compared to the other three candidates. Joey Cora has been considered "ready" for years now despite losing roughly ten braincells every time Ozzie Guillen speaks. Bob Melvin had success in the past and seems to fit the mold of Doug's ideal manager. Bobby Valentine is the most famous and the used car salesman of managerial candidates. He can almost talk anyone into anything, even if that thing is giving him ten million dollars. I watched this video and almost believed he invented the wrap.
(h/t Walkoff Walk)
Ron Roenicke? Never heard of him, but he kind of looks like a nerd with big ears and who wants to hire a nerd?!
Apparently the Brewers do and nerd or not, he's our manager now. He's our nerd and I love him!
And I'm not the only one. Read the rest of this entry »

Act NowLegislation is pending in the U.S. Senate that will meet the twin goals of preserving coal mining jobs and addressing climate change. Sponsored by Sens. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) and Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), it is the only legislative initiative before the Senate that sets reasonable, achievable goals for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions while allowing time for technological advances to be developed that will make it possible to capture and store carbon. That will mean the United States can continue to use its most abundant energy resource--coal--to generate electricity far into the future without adding additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The UMWA urges all members and supporters to contact their U.S. Senators and urge them to support the Bingaman-Specter legislation. Click here to get the e-mail address of your Senators.

CAN'T SCARE ME, the Story of Mother JonesDate: May 5, 2011 The UMWA is sponsoring performances of a one-woman play titled Can't Scare Me: The Story of Mother Jones, written and performed by Obie-award winning actress Kauilani Lee. The Washington Post critic Jane Horowitz wrote of the performance, "Lee makes the early miners' and steelworkers' strikes feel real and immediate, especially the murderous violence unleashed against unionized workers in the early 20th century." "CAN'T SCARE ME, The Story of Mother Jones," tells the moving story of Mary Harris "Mother" Jones and her activism to help organize a broad spectrum of American workers in the early 20th century. Written and performed by Kaiulani Lee, who transforms into the legendary labor activist, the drama illustrates Mother Jones' fight for children and workers' rights across the United States. The performance incorporates the loss of Jone...s' husband and children from yellow fever; the great Chicago fire, out of which she emerged with her own fire to help organize the unorganized; the famous Children's March to protest child labor; and the coal mine wars of southern Colorado and West Virginia.

Bubbles and more Bubbles!
Planning your wines for this holiday season? I recently wrote a piece in TCW on the 30th anniversary about Pop's for Champagne and there were some phenomenal suggestions of sparkling wines, mostly from grower producers in Champagne. And while those wines may be pricey, they are certainly unique and fun to splurge on.
As the holiday approaches, you can also consider sparklers for other parts of the globe. In the under $50 category, why not taste the Roederer Anderson Valley sparkling wine from Mendocino, California. The fifth generation French Champagne makers found this gorgeous plot of land in the early 1980s and have produced this lovely reasonable wine since.
Moving across the country, there's the sparkling Gruet from New Mexico that always raises a few eyebrows. The French-born winemaker took a chance on this property about 150 miles south of Albeqerque, and by 1990 he was in full production with a first vintage. Today, the wines are readily available nationally, at about 100.000-case production, and it remains one of the most fabulous value domestic sparkling wines.
Throughout France there are also sparkling wines from the various wine growing regions, from the Loire Valley to Alsace. The wines have the term "Cremant de Loire," "Cremant de Alsace," or "Cremant de Bourgogne" on the label to indicate they are sparkling. Most are even made using the traditional "methode champenoise," which indicates that it's gone through a secondary fermentation (see link for a more in depth explanation.
With just this quick overview, I hope you'll make some smart selections! Please come visit me, as I work as a wine consultant a few days per week at a quaint wine shop near my home. I can give you that personal touch and help you make your holiday selections, everyday picks or cellar wine. Happy Holidays!

Changing lives, one smile at a time.
Dr. Benjamin Fiss, who started his dental practice over 30 years ago, initially took an interest in cosmetic dentistry because he had always enjoyed working with his hands. The satisfaction that he got from building things led to a career in dentistry. "I then found that I liked the immediate effect of changing how people feel about themselves," explains the Northwestern University Dental School graduate. Using the best materials and techniques and having an eye for knowing what will improve a person's appearance to make them look the best they can are what have made Dr. Fiss one of the most sought after practitioners in cosmetic dentistry.
Your waiting room is so relaxing – it doesn't feel like a dentist's office.
It's not your typical waiting room; it's more like walking into someone's home. There is a fountain and the couches are living room comfortable. It's very serene. The typical dental office smell has been removed by hospital style HEPA filters.
Once patients feel at ease, what is the key to continuing a successful doctor-patient relationship?
Communication. We listen to what patients want and ask them to bring in pictures, because they are not always able to communicate – in dental terms – tooth size, shape, depth of color, translucency, position and angulation. We also take molds of patients' mouths and then use these to create a wax model of the final desired cosmetic enhancement. This gives the patient a preview of the final result and allows them to give their imput.
Dental implants are growing in popularity. What does that entail?
When a tooth is diagnosed as unrestorable or deemed hopeless, or if a patient comes in with existing missing teeth, an implant is the treatment of choice. Implants are titanium cylinders that are surgically placed within the jawbone. Once the bone integrates with the cylinder, the area can be cosmetically restored. Recent developments and advances in implant technology have made implants much more affordable as well as accessible to a greater percentage of the population. In many cases we are even able to have patients come in without any teeth and leave with a fixed appliance restoring their smile and function the same day.
There is a lot of information on your website, www.drfiss.com.
It was designed to be an educational place where people can learn to understand terminology better and see what techniques and materials are available. Reading the website is like talking directly to me, only I'm not physically there. It's my 'voice'. After a patient comes in for a consultation, they can go to the website and see exactly what we've just talked about. Patients can see before and after photos of actual cases and procedures that are similar to their own. They can see the possibilities.
Veneers are also a growing trend.
We do about 50 veneers a month. Veneers are a thin porcelain covering placed over the face of a tooth to enhance color, shape and contour. Because of their strength and durability, with proper care they last about 10 to 15 years. There is a step-by-step outline about the process on my website featuring photos of actual patients. Many dentists give everyone the same teeth – it's like hair salon clients leaving with the same haircut. But no one has the exact same face shape or complexion, and people want subtle enhancements. They don't want their smile to say, 'Here I am, I just bought teeth!' It's important to me to individualize each patients treatment to reflect their needs, wants and desires, incorporating their facial features to create a natural smile that looks as if they were born with it. We also have LED color corrected lighting in each operatory allowing us to shade-match teeth perfectly.
Your staff seems quite knowledgeable.
My staff and I are always taking continuing education classes and seminars to stay at the forefront of all medical, dental and technological advances.
You've perfected the smiles of thousands, won numerous awards and have contributed to major publications. What is your proudest achievement?
I am most proud of the thank yous and referrals I get from patients who love their smiles!
To highlight April's Oral Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Fiss will be offering free Velscope oral cancer screenings at all scheduled cleanings. Call 312-951-5230 or visit www.drfiss.com to schedule an appointment

I bought this in the flame color. A bold, bright orange. It's stunning with my skin tone and very versatile. Love it with a figure flattering skirt. A can't miss!
March 4, 2014
OMG! This is absolutely gorgeous! I first bought the Barberry one and just had to get it in black. Barberry is seriously a gorgeous color. It's so sexy and classy all at the same time! Fits perfectly! I'm a 32 DDD AND 122 pounds and the Small was just perfect. Very happy girl here ;)
December 27, 2013
I absolutely love this bodysuit! I bought this in the Princess blue color and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's super soft and comfy and looks great with jeans or dressed up with a skirt. Highly recommended.
December 27, 2013
Love this!
I loved this shirt :) It is flattering and I want to buy it in more colors! If you're super petite (I am less than 100 and 5'1)... get an XXS!
December 6, 2013
A classic and a must have!
This time I bought the black one and went a size down (xxs). The top is made of quality silk and soft stretchy jersey and they go well in this color. Silk fabric it's not 100% opaque but does not reveal your bra either, you might want to control the amount of cleavage with tape or safety pin. I love this top so much and I have the Egret color and Leopard print as well but the leopard print is not made of silk and was $5 more than this one... no consistency here, anyway. Top is true to size but you can go a size smaller because it's stretchy. It goes with bodycon skirts, pencil skirts, skinny jeans, leggings, leather skirts, shorts etc. Next time I want to get the red one. A true must have it for the season! Thanks bebe for keeping this item coming over and over.

Fantastic fun at a reasonable price.
By Rachael on 23/03/2013 9:43:02 PMI enrolled my son in Kindercraft classes after going to a Splodge session in the school holidays. My son didn't like to get his hands dirty and I wanted to prepare him for Kindy by doing more art and craft. Splodge is very competitively priced with a vast range or activities. Each session has a theme and the children are kept busy from the moment they arrive to the momen (...) Read more
Kindercraft Fun
By Lynda on 22/03/2013 3:30:35 PMBoth Charlie and myself had so much fun at Kindercraft last term! A fantastic idea for parents with children not quite old enough for kindy but that need stimulation. Debbie was wonderful interacting and encouraging the children to explore and create their masterpieces. Charlie has since started kindy and still tells me she misses her Splodge classes. We will definitely be (...) Read more
I was really impressed with the quality of art projects and staff at a party I attended with my daughter. I think it was very professional and the staff had total control of the kids (not like some others I've been too). With the new theme parties I am definately looking into a disco party for my daugher. Great job.
Thanks for a great party for Lily, she had a lovely time. The craft projects were so good that even the non crafty children ended up with something nice to take home. Thanks for the lolly bags they were great value, saved me a lot of time. Thanks again girls. Karen.
Rhys and I have so much fun and since starting Kindercraft he has really come out of his shell. He is interested in playing with all the activities, chalk, paint, playdough. Although Mommy still does the craft, he loves the painting and getting messy, its great fun and educational.
Is there such thing as a fast, friendly face-painter for kids' parties?
By christie.a.harris on 18/07/2011 8:27:24 PMYes there is! The lovely ladies from Splodge do a fantastic job of keeping things moving, with quick designs that keep kids happy and minimise disruption to other party activities. I've only had experience with their facepainting, but very impressed with the speed and quality of work, particularly with a bunch of impatient four year olds who couldn't wait to get back to t (...)
