California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento State, Sac State, informally CSUS), founded in 1947 as Sacramento State College, is the only public comprehensive university in the city of Sacramento, California, and is the tenth oldest campus in the California State University. With a student body of 29,000, it is one of the largest universities in California. Sac State has an alumni base of 230,000 and awards 7,000 degrees annually. The university offers 151 different Bachelor's degrees, 69 Master's degrees, 28 types of teaching credentials, and 7 Doctoral degrees including Ed.D, DPT, Ph.D, and J.D. programs in conjunction with UCSB and UOP. Sac State offers the second most amount of Doctorates in the CSU.[3][4] The university also has extensions in Singapore, offering a unique IMBA (International Master's in Business Administration).[5] Sac State is the first and only of the 23 CSUs to have an international program, and is the only California university to establish itself in Singapore.
The campus is consistently one of the top three destinations amongst all universities in the state for California Community College students, welcoming over 4,000 new transfers each academic year.[6]
Sacramento State is designated as a "Center of Academic Excellence" by the Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency (NSA).[7] Each year the university sponsors multiple faculty and student Fulbright Scholars, both abroad and in-residence.[8] Sac State is also member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities.[9] The university has over 30 research centers & institutes. Sac State contributes close to $1 billion annually, on average, to the Sacramento Region.
The Center for California Studies' Capital Fellows Program is ranked one of the top 10 internships in the nation.[10] With nearly 2,000 students, its School of Nursing is the second largest in the CSU, graduating nearly 800 skilled nurses annually achieving 100% pass rate on the NCLEX.[11][12] The school's Division of Criminal Justice one of the largest programs in all of North America enrolling nearly 1,800 students in the department.[12][13] Sac State also has the largest Co-Op program in the State of California, offering various paid or credit-earned internship opportunities for students. The University is an American Heart Association designated training campus, boasting their own ambulance and a specialized curriculum for nursing and Pre-Med students. The campus houses the United States Geological Survey Water Division.
Sacramento State's main campus sits on over 300 acres, covered with over 3,500 trees from building to building and over 1,200 resting in the unique University Arboretum[14] (formerly the Goethe Arboretum). The University is the site of two National Register of Historic Places, the Julia Morgan House and the Pony Express.[15] The Arbor Day Foundation officially declared the university "Tree Campus USA" in 2012, the same year the university was placed on the U.S. President's National & Community Service Honor Roll.[16]
The efforts to get a four-year university in Sacramento date back to the 1920s; however, legislation repeatedly failed. Local supporters blamed "pork barrel politics" by Bay Area legislators tying to monopolize higher education.[17] Sac State was formally established in 1947 through legislation by State Senator Earl Desmond, by playing hardball to get it done - convincing the Senate's finance committee to withhold funding for the University of California until he had a commitment. Later on, Desmond eventually had 11 children and grandchildren graduate from the university.[17]
Originally founded as Sacramento State College on September 22, 1947 during a time of intense demand for higher education after World War II, Sac State shared space with Sacramento Junior College. Sac State's first semester of classes consisted of 235 students enrolled in 44 sections.[17] During December 1947, the official mascot "Herky" (short for Hercules) the Hornet was chosen over the Elk, which wasn't considered to be aggressive enough. The university's colors - green and gold symbolizing the foothills and trees, were also established. The next Spring, the university held its first graduation ceremony. A single student, history major John J. Collins, who had transferred from UC Berkeley, graduated.[17] By 1948, the university was already fielding intercollegiate teams in basketball, baseball, and tennis.[17] In Spring 1949, the winning "Fight Hornet Fight" song was composed by Donald McDonald. The State Hornet and Statesman yearbook were first published in 1949.[17]
Several sites for a permanent home for the university were considered. A site at 5th Street and Broadway, a site near Fruitridge and Stockton Boulevard, and a site in the Pocket Area of South Sacramento were all rejected.[17] In 1949, the state purchased 244 acres of what was then peach farm land to be the site of the new university at $1,650 to $1,800 an acre.[18] On December 1952, the school left the Sacramento City College property and moved to its permanent location on the banks of the American River. In February 9, 1953, the then 289-acre campus opened to approximately 2,400 students with a parade through town called "GO EAST WITH WEST," in reference to President West.[17] Parking has notoriously been a problem at the university, and since the beginning, drivers were confronted by a sea of mud. Students would simply drive as close to the buildings as they could and park.[17]
In 1955, the first Hornet Football team scored their first victory, against Southern Oregon University. In 1966, the campus expanded more, notably constructed Guy West Bridge, connecting student apartments across the American River the university. Jackrabbits were a problem in the early years and landscapers were permitted to shoot them on sight through the 1960s.[17] Sacramento State became part of the California State University system in 1960, and in 1972, the university changed its name to California State University, Sacramento. In 2004, the school decided to rebrand itself like many other Cal States as simply "Sacramento State." Today, CSUS is the only major four-year comprehensive university in the city of Sacramento.
The university underwent a major expansion in the Korean War years, with the 'heart' of the campus residing in Douglass Hall, Shasta Hall, Sacramento Hall (the administration building).
In 1975, the University Union opened its doors, originally comprising only 65,000-square-feet. In 1981, the Sacramento State Aquatic Center was established. The Center for California Studies was established the following year. In 1986, Sac State established a Master Plan that called for over $100 million in growth. During that same year, the university came within hours of being deliberately flooded as officials contemplated blowing floodgates to avoid a massive levee failure in Sacramento. The 1990s saw significant growth again, constructing more than 1.2 million square-feet of space. In 1992, Hornet Stadium was renovated, providing capacity for 26,000 patrons.
In 2000 and 2004, the campus hosted the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials. In 2003, Dr. Alexander Gonzalez is appointed as the 11th president of the University. In his first year, he launched Destination 2010, an ambitious, comprehensive university initiative focusing on reforming academic programs, constructing new facilities, and creating a destination campus.
Many prominent icons have hosted lectures or other events at Sac State, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Jimi Hendrix, Sheryl Crow, Oliver Stone, Jesse Jackson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wangari Maathai, John Kerry, Stokely Carmichael, Woody Harrelson, Maya Soetoro-Ng and Chuck D.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]
Shasta Hall, many people say, is haunted. Students have talked for years about a ghost in the building's theatre who disrupts play openings. Some think is a state building inspector who fell to his death in the building before it was completed.[17] Now a popular coffee spot, the Roundhouse was controversial when it was built in 1969. Its design put off many people, and President Robert Johns apparently arranged for its construction without the approval of the CSU Board of Trustees.[17] Sequoia Hall was originally constructed to have an attractive white cement finish, but the funding ran short. Today the building stands with plain concrete.[17] In 1998, campus crews found a huge, three-foot hornet's nest in a long-hidden room in Kadema Hall. At one time, it housed 2,000 hornets.
In 1999, Sacramento State was given authority to award its first ever Doctoral degree, a unique find at the time in the California State University. In the past, authority to award any sort of degree beyond Master's in California's higher public education was given solely to the University of California. The program would be a joint Ph.D in history with the University of California, Santa Barbara - the first of its kind in California and one of only 10 in the United States.[30]
The university was given authority again to award its first ever Doctorate in Education (Ed.D) degree in 2007, with its first graduating class in 2010. Since its establishment, the program has branched into several focuses offering different types of degrees.[31]
In 2012, the university was fully accredited and the first selected in the CSU to award its first Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) with the first class entering in Fall of 2012. The program is notoriously competitive, with over 400 applications for just 32 seats.[32] This program eventually will fade out the Master's in Physical Therapy by 2015, following standards set by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education.[33][34]
To date, the university now awards two independent doctorates (Ed.D degrees and DPT) and two degrees in conjunction with other universities (Ph.D in history with UCSB and J.D. in conjunction with UOP).
The period between 1984 and 2003 marked unprecedented growth and budget stability for the University. During this period, the campus nearly doubled in size with the construction of over nearly a dozen academic and service buildings. These include (but are not limited to) the University Union expansion, construction of Mendocino Hall, Riverside Hall, Mariposa Hall, Placer Hall, a new Bookstore, a perimeter road, and two parking garages. Expansion of the University Library. After the construction of Placer Hall, many of the remaining buildings were renamed for California counties and/or other local landmarks of significance (i.e. Brighton Hall is named after the area the campus now sits). The administration building was aptly renamed "Sacramento Hall".
President Gonzalez has continuously reiterated his interest in redefining the university's image, and has explicit interest in making Sac State the flagship of the CSU under his direction. Notable completed projects from his tenure include: The Alumni Center, Continuing Education Buildings (Modoc Hall and Napa Hall), Capitol Public Radio Building (licensed by the university), the Academic Information Resource Center (AIRC), a 24 hour study lounge that hosts several computer labs and other tech endeavors, a third parking garage - the largest built within the CSU, the new Hornet Bookstore, the American River Courtyard dormitory, the WELL (serves as the new health center for students as well as an on campus gym) and the Broad Field House.
A few older buildings were converted into new uses, including the old bookstore converted into Del Norte Hall in 2010 (houses the largest lecture hall on campus and the Archeological Research Center). The former CalSTRS headquarters on Folsom Boulevard became Folsom Hall adding nearly 5 acres to campus and expanding the university's footprint south of Highway 50; this building houses multiple large lecture halls, the Nursing Department HQ, and the Department of Physical Therapy. The former Health Center near the dormitories became the new headquarters for Athletics.
In 2004, the school decided to re-brand itself and is now known as Sacramento State (Sac State for short); though students had been referring to the school by this name for years. The official name of the university remains California State University, Sacramento. The terms "CSUS," "Cal State Sacramento", 'Sacramento State University", "CSU, Sacramento", and "CS Sacramento" are no longer appropriate per the new Identity Style Guide,[35] even though the University's web address is csus.edu. The University also adopted a new logo and seal. These replaced the previous design based on the Seal of California. In addition, the exact shades of Sacramento State's colors of green and gold were formalized in the 2005 Style Guide.
President Gonzalez announced the initiative "Redefining the Possible" in his Spring 2012 convocation following Destination 2010s success. This initiative calls for more construction and campus updates, all part of the CSU Capital Outlay,[36] including demolishing several of the original campus buildings in center campus, constructing a Space Planetarium, a 10,000 seat arena, a 4,800 space parking garage (the largest yet again in the CSU), four new 8-story dormitory towers, and a 1,200 seat performing arts center.

The home's west wing houses the Life Center and provides health and fitness classes for seniors.
Sacramento State recently purchased 280 acres (110 ha) of land near Roseville, California for a satellite campus. The campus is hoped to break ground soon, and will likely have an emphasis on technology, business, and teacher education. President Alexander Gonzales said the campus may eventually grow in to a separate CSU.
Since 1951, the university has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Scholarships are offered in all sports. The football and track and field teams compete in Hornet Stadium, baseball at John Smith Field, and the volleyball, men's and women's basketball and gymnastics teams call Colberg Court home, in honor of legendary volleyball coach Debby Colberg. The baseball stadium was renamed John Smith Field in 2011 in honor of the long-time head coach. Most athletic teams compete in the Big Sky Conference. Sacramento State is the only school from California in the Big Sky, which also includes Eastern Washington, Portland State, Idaho State, Northern Colorado, Northern Arizona and Weber State. UC Davis and Cal Poly will join the Big Sky for football in 2012.
In 2003 and from 2005 to 2007, the university hosted the NCAA Track and Field Championships at Hornet Stadium.
When the university has accomplished multiple national championships from when it was a Division III, Division II, and now a Division I school, including Softball (AIAW D-III) in 1981, Women's Volleyball (D-II) in 1980 and 1981, and Women's Golf (AIAW D-III) in 1981. The school has also been a National Runner-up 8 times including Softball in 1989 (D-II), Women's Volleyball in 1979 and 1989 (D-II), Baseball in 1988 (D-II), Women's Track and Field in 1981 (AIAW D-II), Men's Cross Country in 1979 (D-II), Football in 1964 (CDN), and Men's Basketball (1962 CDN).
The university has accomplished 51 conference championships, the most occurring in the Big Sky. Including:[82]
Recently, there have been speculations that the Hornets' Athletic department may move to the Football Bowl Subdivision [83] due to the population base of Sacramento (Ranked 20th largest in college sports[84] ), the (enrollment) size of the University, and the attractiveness of recruiting in the Sac-Joaquin Section. The WAC have shown interest of adding Sacramento State Hornets for years (their baseball and gymnastics program are currently in the WAC), and Commissioner Dough Fullerton of Big Sky was told that the WAC have contacted Sac State officials about a possible invitation.[85] However, the Hornets needed to add an additional sport for women in order to meet the criteria of Title IX[86] and needed to fund a new sports complex for men's and women's basketball and volleyball because the Colberg Court was inadequate for FBS level sports and is severely outdated (crowd capacity of 1200 persons[87] ); often being compared to high school gyms. Since the 2010-2012 NCAA conference realignment, Sac State was unable to fund for a massive facility upgrade for their athletic facilities (including basketball/volleyball, football, baseball and softball among others) in order to move to the FBS due to the current struggling economy and resistance from students and faculty members because of increasing tuition and overall cost.[88] To add on, the Football program was required to have an attendance average of 15,000 each season and the athletic department needed to increase overall funds for their athletic programs. On June 6, 2011, Big Sky Commissioner Doug Fullerton announce that "the Big Sky schools are in a better place than the WAC, and that all current (Big Sky) schools are committed to staying with their current conference rather than jumping up to the FBS", marking an end to speculations of the Hornets programs moving to the FBS for this duration of conference realignment.[89]
Although the Hornets will not change conferences, they will welcome their rival UC Davis and Cal Poly to the Big Sky conference in 2012 for football only,[90] and North Dakota and Southern Utah for all sports.[91]
The Sacramento State Hornets football program began in 1954, coached by Dave Strong (The teams' first football head coach). The programs' first victory came in the second season, 1955, where the Hornets defeated Southern Oregon by a point, which was also their only win of the season(they were win less in their first season of football). Sacramento State Football first affiliated with the Northern California Athletic Conference (NCAC) from 1962 until 1972, where they were added to the Western Football Conference (WFC) from 1973 to 1985, then becoming part of the D-1AA American West Conference (AWC).[92] In 1996, Sac State was added to the Big Sky Conference along with Portland State, becoming the first California school in the Big Sky. Hornet Stadium has been home to the football team since 1969.
The team has never been ranked in any major polls by the end of all their past seasons, but have won 4 conference titles: 1964 and 1966-NCAC, 1986-WFC, and 1995-AFC. The Hornets football team participated in 2 bowls, The Pasadena Bowl in 1968 against Grambling State, where the Hornets lost 7-34, and The Camellia Bowl in 1964 ( 1964 College Division National Runner-up), where Montana State Bobcats defeated the Hornets 28-7.
One of Sac State's most notable wins came on September 3, 2011 in the season opener for both Sac State and Oregon State Beavers of the Pacific-12 conference at Reser Stadium. The Hornets upset the Beavers in OT 29-28 with a 2 point conversion pass from QB Jeff Flemming to WR Brandyn Reed, beating an AQ Conference team for the first time in school history in front of an announced crowd of 41,581.[93] The Beavers were a 23 point favorite coming into the game.
On September 8, 2012, The Hornets repeated the feat of defeating a Pacific-12, upsetting the Colorado Buffaloes by a score 30-28 in Boulder in front of a crowd of 46,843.[94] The Buffaloes were heavily favored in the match up. Walk-on Edgar Castaneda was awarded a full scholarship following his game winning field goal.
In all sports, the university has a rivalry with the University of California, Davis due to close proximity. The rivalry football game is called the Causeway Classic and is played for the Causeway Cup, referring to the school's connection by the long Yolo Causeway bridge over the Yolo Bypass floodway. More recently, the rivalry was officially expanded to include all sports the teams compete in. UC Davis leads the series 40 to 18 with no ties. This game has drawn crowds up to 18,000 in the Hornet Stadium, and is widely popular in the local area. Other notable rivalries includes Portland State, Eastern Washington, Weber State, and conference powers Montana State University and the University of Montana.
Many Hornets have been drafted directly into the NFL onto teams such as the San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots.[95]
The Sacramento State Marching Band performs at home football games each fall, as well as at numerous other university functions and also periodically at high school band festivals. The Hornet Revue Pep Band is a subgroup of the marching band, and performs at all home basketball (men's and women's) and volleyball games. Both bands are under the direction of Dr. Clay Redfield.
Fight on, Sacramento State,
Fight on to victory.
The Hornet is on the wing.
The foe will know that we can show them
We're meant for fame and glory.
All the World will know
The Hornet's NEST is the BEST in the WEST (shout)
Sa-cra-men-to State, (shout)
"Fight, Hornet, Fight!" is the official fight song of California State University, Sacramento. It is most widely known for being played by the Sacramento State Marching Band after scores at Sacramento State football games, and during the band's pre-game and halftime shows. It is played after a touchdown, field goal, extra point, or a safety.
Fight, Hornet, Fight! is also played as the band forms a tunnel for the football team as they enter Hornet Stadium before the beginning of each home game. After every Hornet win, the football team comes over to the sideline where the band's section is and sings along while the song is being played.
Fight, Hornet, Fight! was composed by Don McDonald, '52, in 1949. The current arrangement of the song was written by former Band Director Jeffrey Edom in 1997.
The California Education Code §89901 identifies auxiliary organizations of the California State University.[96] Sacramento State currently has several auxiliary organizations:[97]
The school hosts Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps, Detachment 088, which trains US Air Force cadets from Sac State and University of California Davis. It is currently the largest Detachment in Northern California.[citation needed]
An independent Army ROTC program existed until the 1996 when the program was phased out by California State University, Sacramento President Donald Gerth due to the Army's policy of "Don't ask, don't tell".[98] The program was allowed back onto campus in 1997, due to the possibility of the campus losing federal student aid and research funding.[99] In 2002, the program received the gold MacArthur ROTC Leadership Award.[99] The program currently exists as an extension of the Forged Gold Battalion based at University of California, Davis.[100][101]
Associated Students Inc. is a nonprofit corporation that provides programs, services, and student government for Sacramento State, ostensibly through California Education Code §89300. ASI is a California recognized 501(c)(3) corporation. Students elect the Board of Directors, which consists of the President, Executive Vice President, Vice President of Finance, Vice President of University Affairs, Vice President of Academic Affairs, a representative from each of the academic colleges, a representative for undeclared students, and a representative for graduate students. ASI has a budget of over $6 million, which is collected through semesterly student fees and revenues generated through its programs: Peak Adventures, Aquatic Center, Children's Center, and ASI student shop.
Like most other CSUs, ASI offers a unique day care center for faculty, staff, or student's children ages newborn to five years. The ASI Children's Center is accredited by the NAEYC,[102] something that only about 7% of children's centers are endorsed by. Child Development and Teacher Education majors are given the opportunity to work with the Children's Center.
Sacramento State owns and operates multiple public radio stations throughout California in close cooperation with Capital Public Radio.
Two of these stations are KXPR and KXJZ, both on FM. KXPR plays classical and jazz music. KXJZ offers local news and talk programming, including several popular shows like "This American Life," "A Prairie Home Companion," "Car Talk" and others. The listener-supported stations broadcast without commercials and with the support of underwriters. Both stations carry programming from National Public Radio.
KSSU 1580AM is a non-profit free format radio station at Sacramento State and part of Associated Students. The radio station has only a 3-watt signal and is not strong enough to broadcast much farther than the campus, but it can be heard all over the world at kssu.com. KSSU is maintained and funded by the Associated Students. KSSU.COM has formed itself into being one of the premier college radio stations in North America. In 2007 the station won Music Director of the year from the College Music Journal and then returned to New York for the award show in 2008 with 8 nominations for awards by CMJ. In 2008 KSSU.COM was also nominated for College Radio Station of the Year by MTVU. Notable former DJ's include actor and international hip hop artist, Only Won who gave credit to KSSU at the 2010 Distinguished Service award for influencing his career in the music industry.[103]
The State Hornet serves as Sacramento State's student newspaper. The State Hornet publishes 14 or 15 issues each semester and produces content for a daily Web site. The online edition carries the content of the print edition, posted Wednesday mornings, and publishes unique content to the site as generated by the staff. The 1999-2000 staff of the newspaper, led by Editor-in-Chief David Sommers and Faculty Advisor Sylvia Fox, was awarded the National Newspaper Pacemaker Award, considered to be the highest national honor in collegiate journalism and unofficially known as the "Pulitzer Prizes of student journalism."[104] In 2012, the newspaper was placed in the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker Finalists category.[105] The newspaper is formally administered by the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Arts and Letters.[106]
The CSUS student activity center is the University Union. The University Union is unique in that it is the original building that was first structured in 1972. It has gone under major renovations throughout the years, with the first phase in 1992 that added a large ballroom and space for food vendors and meeting rooms and other extensions. In 1998, the Union underwent another major renovation again, adding another 180,000 square feet for certain University Outlets such as KSSU and Peak Adventures (which have both since moved). In 2012, the Union yet again under went major renovations, including adding the University operated restaurant Good Eats, new flooring and stage demolition in the Redwood Room, a complete remodel of Round Table Pizza, an addition of the much requested "prayer room" or "quiet room" on the second floor, a complete remodel of the Terminal Lounge on the second floor, and tearing down the University Center Restaurant and building the new Epicure Restaurant.[107]
Much is offered, including a large fast food court, a game room, public computers with internet access, free WiFi, conference rooms, the university's main auditoria, a prayer room, and many offices for student organizations including the Pride Center, the State Hornet (student paper), and others.
Sac State has a wide selection of social and academic clubs and organizations. Each are dedicated to help students of similar interests bond together by common goals and aspirations. They make up a wide range of opportunities to be involved. They often represent national, international, local and regional organizations. Some also promote certain cultures or multiculturalism as well as political and recreational. Clubs and organizations are overseen by Student Organizations & Leadership. In the Fall 2012, approximately 7% of undergraduate men (or 774 students) were part of fraternities while 5% of undergraduate women (or 725 students) were part of sororities for a total of about 1,500 Greeks (the largest class to date).[38]
University Transportation and Parking Services (UTAPS), an auxiliary of Sacramento State, operates its own buses known as the Hornet Express shuttle, providing several lines around the campus running approximately 7:30am until 5:00pm in conjunction with Sacramento Regional Transit District.[108] The Hornet Line serves the south end of the university, University/65th Light-Rail Station, and newly added Folsom Hall,[109] the Green Line serves the College Town/La Riviera District and the east end of Campus,[110] while the Gold Line runs all the way to the Fair Oaks district and the Arden Fair Mall.[111] UTAPS also runs night shuttle for students, providing point-to-point service from dusk to 11:00pm.[112]
The university has a bus terminal station at the north end of campus, which serves as a major stop for Sacramento Regional Transit. RT provides bus services to downtown (Route 30), Midtown/Sutter District (Route 34), American River College/Watt (Route 82), Marconi/Arcade Light-Rail Station (Route 87), seven days a week departing approximately every 10 minutes.[113] The university is located about 1/2 mile from the University/65th Light Rail Station, just south of the campus.
Sacramento State students can use these resources, including LRT, for free with their student One Card.[108]
The university also has multiple Zipcars housed on campus for students, faculty and staff to utilize 24-hours a day, part of the ZipCarU program.[114]
Plans have been in the works for the University to operate its own street car Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, looping around the perimeter of the campus and back to the University/65th Light Rail Station. However this has been set back due to budget constraints.[115] The Sacramento light rail system was originally proposed to run through the library quad, but then-president Donald Gerth vetoed the proposal over concerns for student safety.
The school is situated just north of US 50 and is accessible by two exits - 65th St. and Howe Avenue.
The University has conferred over 200,000 degrees since its establishment.[116] CSUS alumni live over all 50 states of the U.S., with over 165,000 residing in California, nearly 3,000 in Washington, 2,500 in Oregon and over 2,000 Texas. There are also over nearly 1,000 alumni residing in approximately 62 countries, including 102 located in Japan, 90 in India, and nearly 60 in Canada and China.[117]

"Concise yet comprehensive, When Disaster Strikes gives good advice for just about every disaster situation imaginable. Medical preparedness is covered in a well-written and conversational manner that anyone can understand, with a focus on alternative remedies. Unlike some authors who just talk the talk, Mat Stein really walks the walk!"—Joseph and Amy Alton, hosts of Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy's Doom and Bloom Show, TM
—Joseph and Amy Alton, hosts of Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy's Doom and Bloom Show, TM
Disasters often strike without warning and leave a trail of destruction in their wake. Yet armed with the right tools and information, survivors can fend for themselves and get through even the toughest circumstances. Matthew Stein's When Disaster Strikes provides a thorough, practical guide for how to prepare for and react in many of life's most unpredictable scenarios. In this disaster-preparedness manual, he outlines the materials you'll need—from food and water, to shelter and energy, to first-aid and survival skills—to help you safely live through the worst. When Disaster Strikes covers how to find and store food, water, and clothing, as well as the basics of installing back-up power and lights. You'll learn how to gather and sterilize water, build a fire, treat injuries in an emergency, and use alternative medical sources when conventional ones are unavailable. Stein instructs you on the smartest responses to natural disasters—such as fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods—how to keep warm during winter storms, even how to protect yourself from attack or other dangerous situations. With this comprehensive guide in hand, you can be sure to respond quickly, correctly, and confidently when a crisis threatens.
Mat Stein is an environmentalist, bestselling author, MIT trained engineer, and green builder. As an inspiring speaker and visionary thinker, he is dedicated to helping people wake up and unite to shift our collective course from collapse to global renaissance. On the practical side of things, as an expert at self-reliance, emergency prep, and survival, his writings and work help people prepare to weather the storms we are facing due to continuing climate change and ecological decline, coupled with a fossil fuel based economy that has recently passed the peak in world oil production and is struggling to cope with ...

Atlanta, La (NBC33) — LSU Head Coach Les Miles and his Tigers showed their softer side today in Atlanta.
The team visited the Scottish Rite Children's Hospital just four days before their bowl matchup with Clemson.
Coach Miles says it's one of the best parts of any bowl trip. Last year, the team visited the Children's Hospital in New Orleans.
Miles and the players not only visited the patients, but some even played a game of air hockey and had some fun.

Photos and question by Yvonne Kemp
Jestene McCord: "I will always remember how she loved to dance and how she brought excitement to any gathering. She is very much missed!"
Wanda J. Montgomery: "I remember her vitality, her youthful spirit and her willingness to volunteer even to the end. She was an icon for this era."

Mac Weddle: "One of my last memories of Mattiebelle was the two of us dancing at the Metropolitan Hall. We were the only two on the dance floor. It was a coin-dance. She had this beautiful red dress on and I had on a red suit. Boy did we get the compliments."

I think it would be a neat feature for hubs to have an optional 'recent updates' panel on the page for BYOND Members. It would basically serve as a list of entries that developers could add to when they make updates to their game, to list what was changed/added. Players for the games could 'Watch' the list for updates, like they do blog posts/etc, and it could notify them via pager of when their watched games receive updates. (They're already notified of when there's a downloadable update on the hub, but it doesn't tell them what's in it, nor does it work for games which are not downloadable.)
You could also put something similar to the medals list on the front page about recent BYOND game updates, which would help those games get a little more noticed without having to resort to spamming the Members blog page.
Just a little idea I had that I wanted to share.

News Release 005
Department of Natural Resources sponsoring mercury drop-off sites in Kansas City, northwest Missouri
Volume 39-005 (For Immediate Release)
For more information: 573-751-1010
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is launching a statewide roundup to rid homes of mercury, sponsoring nearly 50 mercury drop-off locations throughout the state, including 11 in the Kansas City area and northwest Missouri.
The department, working with fire departments and county health offices throughout the state, is providing drop-off locations where private citizens or nonprofit agencies can leave mercury-containing instruments like thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, thermostats or switches.
Citizens seeking to dispose of items at these sites should first secure the item in two zip-top plastic bags and then place it in a crush-proof sealed container, such as a coffee can, plastic margarine tub, or plastic beverage bottle.
A person who is uncomfortable with transporting mercury instruments, or who has large quantities of mercury, can contact the department's spill line at 573-634-2436 to arrange to have items picked up.
The list of drop-off sites in the Kansas City area and northwest Missouri is included below. Please call the site before taking mercury instruments for disposal and never leave items if the facility is closed. Unless otherwise noted, the mercury drop-off sites are open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday:
• Harrisonville Fire Department, 903 S. Commercial, 816-380-8952, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call ahead on weekends.

• Platte County Health Department, 1201 East St., Parkville, 816-858-2412.
• Platte County Health Department, 212 Marshall Road, Platte City, 816-858-2412.
This program does not include compact fluorescent bulbs, or CFLs. A fact sheet detailing the proper disposal of CFLs is available on the department's website: dnr.mo.gov/pubs/pub2273.pdf.
The mercury roundup will end May 31. Department staff will then collect the dropped off items for consolidation and transport them to Jefferson City to recycle what can be recycled and properly dispose of the rest.
For more information on the mercury roundup, contact the nearest participating agency or the department's Environmental Services Program at 573-634-2436. A list of available mercury drop-off sites is available at: dnr.mo.gov/env/esp/mercuryroundup-dnr.htm.

I can't even begin to list everything I received--so suffice it to say there's at least 10 different kinds of candy, and of each kind, at least 3 or 4 different items. There's two toys, one decorative skull, a box of Count Chocula, a Batman sticker, X-Ray specs, temporary tattoos--I literally haven't been this thrilled by a mish-mash confabulation of amazing things since I was a kid trick-or-treating! This is what I love about this gift: my gifter made me feel like a kid again, and that's something to be grateful for in and of itself!

A student at the University of Virginia at Wise campus faces federal charges for calling 911 and falsely reporting there was a gunman on campus. Prosecutors say the call from Bryant Hairston prompted university leaders to place the school on lockdown last week. Hairston faces charges of making false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representations. He was charged last week by the university police department with falsely summoning law enforcement.

iPhone 5C's Impact Is Massively Underestimated
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Near the end of the day on Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that China Mobile (CHL) is on the list to receive iPhone 5C. Today we're hearing from analyst KGI that China Mobile may delay the launch of the iPhone until its TDD-LTE network is completed in November.
Either way, the fact that a China Mobile launch is imminent means that Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) 12-month earnings growth projections will rise as analysts slowly come to realize the impact of Tim Cook decision to add China Mobile, Japan's NTT Docomo (DCM), an Apple trade-in program and of course the release of a cheaper iPhone model.
Yes, Apple has been in India for years but no, it's never had a product designed for the market. Consider the addressable market for the iPhone lineup effectively doubled as we head into 2014.
Mainstream analysts who have been burned by overestimating Apple's growth over the past year will be slow to recognize this massive shift in market share opportunity, and will likely underestimate the potential impact of iPhone 5C. We've seen this same phenomenon happen before. It's the way the herd works.
This current Apple window can be defined by rapidly improving fundamentals and lagging technicals. Warren Buffett's wisdom applies perfectly: "In the short run the market's a voting machine and sometimes people vote unintelligently. In the long run, it's a weighing machine and the weight of business and how it does is what affects value over time." The short-term vote by investors has always lagged the reality of Apple's new product categories. It happened at the initial release of the iPhone in 2007, which is why the stock was able to run from $111 to $200 in the second half of that year. Clearly, investors underestimated the weight of iPhone prior to its release, which resulted in tremendous stock action after the launch. The same thing happened when the iPad was released in 2010. Analysts were spewing ridiculous estimates of five million to 10 million units for the entire first year of sales. At that time we were one of the only voices declaring Apple could achieve double digit unit sales per quarter. What did the stock do? It ran from $225 to $325 in the second half of the year as the reality of iPad growth overwhelmed the short-term voting machine. There exists a high probability this same phenomenon will repeat itself for iPhone 5C. Those who underestimate the emerging markets will forfeit this rally. The same people telling you that Apple can't run from $500 to $600 were also telling you that Apple was stuck at $400. The emerging market opportunity for iPhone 5C is not even close to being priced in. Today in the EconomicTiming portfolio we're purchasing a 10% allocation of AAPL January 2014 $500 calls that will triple on a run to $600. At the time of publication the author had a position in AAPL.

Bordered on the south by steep Mount Yeager and on the north by Nescopeck Mountain, the 3,550-acre Nescopeck State Park encompasses wetlands, rich forests and many diverse habitats. Nescopeck Creek, a favorite of anglers, meanders through the park. Hiking trails follow the creek, climb mountains, pass through quiet forests and skirt wetlands. An environmental education center provides year-round educational programs on the park's unique resources.
The 9-acre Lake Frances has trout, bass and panfish. A well-used trail circles Lake Frances and provides great fishing access throughout the year. Six miles of Nescopeck Creek is designated as a high quality, cold-water fishery and contains brown trout and native brook trout. Several miles of the creek are designated as delayed harvest, artificial lure only. The PA Fish and Boat Commission stocks Lake Frances and Nescopeck Creek. Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission rules and regulations apply.
Hiking: 19 miles of trails
Many of the trails begin along Honey Hole Road. Visitors can discover the unique habitats in the park on trails that traverse forests, fields and wetlands. Several trails lead to and parallel beautiful Nescopeck Creek.
Due to the unique natural resources in the park, mountain biking is prohibited on park trails.
Winter Activities
Explore the Winter Report for the current snow and ice depths.
Cross-country Skiing and Snowshoeing:
These popular winter sports are permitted on all trails throughout the park. The ungroomed trails are relatively flat or have slight grades making them a great way to explore the park during winter.
Trash Disposal and Recycling
Nescopeck State Park participates in a carry-in/carry-out trash disposal program for small parks. There are no trash collection or recycling facilities. Visitors are asked to limit the amount of disposable items brought to the park and to take home all trash and recyclables.
Environmental Education and Interpretation
The year-round staff of the environmental education center provides programming for the school community and the general public.
The park education program strives to teach about the natural world and critical environmental issues facing society. Special emphasis is placed on the education and interpretation of Nescopeck's unique, natural biodiversity.
School students engage in hands-on activities, exploring and learning about the unique ecosystems of the park to further their awareness, appreciation and knowledge of the natural environment.
The education staff offers the Bureau's Watershed Education program to area high schools, teachers and other groups interested in learning about complex issues within their watersheds.
The education staff conducts teacher workshops based on state and national environmental education curricula and needs as they relate to Department of Education academic standards.
A variety of interpretive and recreational programs are available for the general public. These programs focus on the natural, historical and cultural features of the park and region. The park also participates in the Bureau's DiscoverE program, which gives young people an opportunity to explore and learn about the environment.
In addition to offering quality educational programs, the park is an outdoor natural laboratory for visiting biologists, college interns and resource professionals involved in a variety of biological research projects.
Wildlife Watching
Habitats like the 200 acres of high quality wetlands, rich forests and six miles of the pristine Nescopeck Creek are home to over 160 species of birds, 30 species of amphibians and reptiles and over 600 species of plants.

Dumplings were a peasant food, originally served to extend small amounts of meat. They have come a long way since then and are now given more gastronomic thought than once were. At there simplest they consist of flour and fat rubbed together with a touch of water. More complex versions include, among other things, finely chopped liver which is an Austrian adaption. However those are more like a meatball than a dumpling. I decided to go very basic and went for a traditional dumpling with nothing added but a bit of chopped parsley.
My dumplings aren't that traditional at all, considering the classic dumpling probably used suet and not butter. However, as you may already know, I am a big fan of butter and go/live by the "saying", If butter can be used, use it.
The butter needs to be very cold, so I just chuck it in the freezer before grating. Also it is probably better to grate it directly into the flour using a box grater to avoid it forming into a big lump of grated butter, like mine.
Dumplings are a great addition to bulk out any stew or casserole and make a meal out of it, which leads back to there roots as a peasant food.
Many people would agree that the secret of making a good dumpling is the same as making good pastry, be light and don't over mix.
There is obviously more creative ingredients than parsley that could be added to dumplings so feel free to go whacky.
Use ice cold water for the dumplings and also use a spoon to add the water so that you don't add too much. Don't be cocky like me and try to pour it from a bowl.
The resulting dough, ready to make light and fluffy dumplings.
Roll the dough into smallish balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. I got 15 even sized balls from my dough but you can get more or less depending on how big your balls are!
The dumplings then just get sat on top of your favourite stew or soup and left to soak up some of the delicious sauce and puff up.
This dumpling recipe is based on one of Jamie Oliver's recipe, which can be seen here
200 g self-raising flour
100 g salted butter, really cold
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
Preheat your oven to 190°C
Put your flour into a mixing bowl .
Using a coarse grater, grate your cold butter into the flour.
Using your fingers, gently rub the butter into the flour until it begins to resemble breadcrumbs
- Add your chopped parsley and mix.
Add a splash of cold water to help bind it into a dough
Divide the dough into about 15 pieces and gently roll each into a round dumpling.
The dumplings will suck up quite a bit of moisture so if your stew or soup looks dry – add a cup of boiling water and give it a good stir.
Place the dumplings on top of your fully cooked stew and press down lightly so that they're half submerged
Cook in the oven or on the hob over a medium heat with the lid on for 30 minutes.

Sydney Padua is an animator, story artist, and tiresome bore who can generally be found making giant monsters attack people for the movies. Her official website can be found here. She started drawing comics by accident and is still trying to figure out how to stop.

She is writing this in the third person because that seems to be the convention about these things. It feels awkward so I'm going to stop now.
