Recipe: Frosted Red Velvet Doughnuts (GF, SF, Vegan) Top Food Additives To Avoid
I'm pleased to offer this posting as my entry for Week 1 – A Gluten Free Holiday Event 2011. The event runs weekly through November and December, with different predetermined themes and hosts each week. I aim to create an offering for each week and I'm eager to see the contributions from other Gluten Free Blogger's. What a great sharing community.
Amy at Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free is kicking off the Gluten Free Holiday Event. Her theme for the week is "Healthier Through The Holidays". She asks us to share tips and recipes for staying healthy through the holidays.
This will be my first Gluten Free Christmas. I don't have much experience with converting old family favourites to healthier gluten free versions but I imagine by the time Christmas 2011 is over, I will have collected a bundle of GF recipes and holiday tips.
First up, I would like to share a top 20 food additives to avoid link with you. This link comes via Dr Matsen's Northshore Naturopathic Clinic Newsletter. Dr Matsen has this to say about food additives…
many of these food additives should be avoided especially if you suffer from asthma, rhinitis, or other allergies, which are so prevalent today in children and adults.
You will notice that the second item on the list is amaranth. This is NOT the same as the healthy "grain". Amaranth as we know it, is a seed that's high in protein and gluten-free but unfortunately, there is also a synthetic dye that has been named "amaranth" because it's similar in color to the natural pigments found in the amaranth seed
http://altmedangel.com/additive.htm in addition to the top 20 food additives to avoid, this website has information on Pesticides and what you can do to protect yourself. Plus it lists a few additives that are safe, ones that you don't need to avoid. Maybe we can lobby manufactures to use more of the good food additives (which are probably more expensive?) and less of the bad food additives?
http://www.livestrong.com/article/470375-10-worst-food-additives/ a more up to date (Jun 14, 2011) article on the worst food additives. This article comes to a conclusion that seems reasonable to the-new-gluten-free-me…
many food additives are used purely for cosmetic reasons and several throughout time have been shown to be toxic or carcinogenic. The only way to truly avoid additives is to stay away from processed foods.
Okay, I know this next article doesn't have to do with bad food additives but it caught my attention when I came across it at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency link and it does support my reasons for avoiding pre-packaged, ready-to-eat, processed foods.
In the summer of 2008, there was an outbreak of food-borne illness caused by Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat meat. The outbreak resulted in the deaths of 23 Canadians.
Since the Listeria outbreak in 2008, the Government of Canada has taken actions to improve communication and reduce the risk posed by the possibility of similar outbreaks in the future.
- On March 16, 2011, CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) began posting quarterly information about the Agency's enforcement activities.
- CFIA has developed a recall widget to automate distribution of recall notices. Food safety stakeholders can embed the CFIA widget into their websites, blogs, or social media pages, allowing them to receive live content from CFIA about food recalls. See a live demo in my footer. I wonder if the FDA has something similar? If you know the answer, please leave a comment below. I would like to add the info for my American readers.
- In February 2011, CFIA began issuing notifications of all allergy alerts through Social Media. This service is part of the CFIA's ongoing commitment to deliver timely recall information to Canadians so that they can make informed food choices. CFIA now has 47,500 subscribers to the recall-and-allergy-alert email notification service. I'm happy to hear that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been working on improving communications but I sort of wonder how many people have to get sick before an email alert gets issued?
- The CFIA is also taking steps to make sure there is better training in the handling of processed ready-to-eat meats and better testing with faster results for Listeria monocytogenes. If you are elderly, pregnant, a child or have a compromised immune system, you are more vulnerable. Do you feel confident a recall alert can get to you or your parents or your children in time to prevent a serious illness? Wouldn't you be better off avoiding processed ready-to-eat meats?
Sorry, I wandered a bit off topic there, let's get back to the subject of avoiding food additives…
I guess most foodies would be familiar with Michael Pollen's writings;
shop the perimeter of the grocery store where whole foods are found.
Perimeter shopping was first brought to light in Michael Pollan's book, In Defense of Food. The idea behind perimeter shopping is that the perimeter of the grocery store tends to be where the "real" food is located – the produce, fresh vegetables, fish, meat, poultry, dairy and baked goods. Laureen's Notes: The perimeter is also where you will find most items that are Naturally Gluten Free.
On the other hand, the processed stuff – the crackers, cereals, dressings, frozen foods and an endless list of "ready to serve" items, tend to be found in the aisles and on the shelves. In fact, the term "shelf life" refers to the amount of time these processed items can last on the supermarket shelf (forever in many cases).
If you can't pronounce an ingredient on the food label it is probably a chemical additive, it is best to avoid it.
You know, before I went Gluten Free, I hardly ever read a product label or gave much thought about what was in the highly processed foods I was eating. I suppose ignorance was bliss? I'm amazed at how much my habits have changed since last year and about how much healthier I am as a result of those changes.
Besides eliminating Gluten, I try to adhere to the following tips for healthier habits into my new-gluten-free-me lifestyle;
- Try to buy fresh organic fruit and vegetables when possible. Thoroughly wash or peel non-organic produce to remove chemicals and pesticides.
- Support local farmers (preferably, those who run organic-sustainable farms), choose fruits and vegetables that are in season. This is a win-win. You will be supporting the local farming community while reducing your exposure to the chemicals used to delay ripening, prolong shelf-life, preserve color and so on. Before I started blogging, I had no idea that CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Programs existed but the new-gluten-free-me has already signed up with a smaller local organic-sustainable farm for the 2012 season.
- Stay away from processed foods and stick to more wholesome home cooked foods. I still buy some processed foods but I make more informed decisions. I always read the product label first and I avoid products that may contain gluten but as often as possible, I also avoid foods that have unpronounceable chemical additives. In fact, I try to stick with products that are either Naturally Gluten Free, or have the fewest number of added ingredients and/or the shortest ingredients list.
- Avoid refined sugar. Okay, you need only look as far as my last post to see that the new-gluten-free-me sometimes struggles with this one. Maybe I'm trying to make up for those lost years when I thought I had to avoid baked sweets? These days, if I find a GF recipe for something sweet that I've always loved but haven't had in years. I know I can safely eat the full on sugary sweet GF version, without having a bad reaction…well then, that is what I want to do! Later, I will most likely make adjustments to make the recipe healthier (see today's recipe as an example) but first, I feel like living it up a little, giving in to the excitement, I feel like I want to do something just a bit crazy. Later, I refuse to feel remorseful, but I will likely behave more responsibly towards my body next time.
- If you are looking to change your eating habits, I recommend making the changes gradually, remove one thing at a time. Once adjusted, remove something else that is bad for you. This rule can also be applied to using the highly processed ready-to-eat meals, with the food additives, that are bad for you. Start by adding at least one home-cooked-made-from-scratch meal each week and then, increase the number of home cooked meals when you feel you can. Your health is worth the extra time and effort. I know from experience, the little changes add up and you know, those changes will probably improve your health and might even save your life.
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]o sum it up: we need to make informed choices but remember, we are all unique, there isn't a one-size-fits-all diet, so don't beat yourself up if you slip up once in a while. By far, the most important thing to do is to love yourself and love your body. You are beautiful!
Nobody is as good at being you as you are. Nobody! [1]
Now, before you run off to the kitchen to try my new Red Velvet Doughnut recipe (and yes, I do believe they are that good), I would like to thank Amy for hosting this week's "Healthier Through The Holidays" – A Gluten Free Holiday Event 2011. If not for the Event theme, I doubt this post would exist but I am happy and proud of myself for getting it done. Posting a recipe alone, would have been so much easier for me because this piece took me out of my comfort zone. Writing doesn't come naturally to me and I get nervous about voicing my opinions. I always do rewrite, after rewrite, after rewrite, before any of my work gets posted and my nervousness about voicing my opinions, well, that too is a self-esteem thing. I know that with practice, I will get better at writing and feel more confident about expressing my opinions and that, is just as healthy for me, as is avoiding food additives.
I had this post drafted, almost ready to post on Thursday morning. I thought the only thing left for me to do, was bake some doughnuts for my pictures but then, I read Rikki's newest SOS Kitchen Challenge post and that lead me to the The Mommy Bowl with Deanna's recipe for Cranberry Red Velvet Cupcakes :: Cranberries? Now why didn't I think of that??? Of course I should use cranberries instead of beets!
A last-minute revamp of my recipe and the results turned out even better than anticipated. The cranberry adds moisture and a bit of tart sweetness that combines beautifully with the chocolate. Enjoy!
Doughnut recipe inspired by the Red Velvet Cupcake recipes at My Diverse Kitchen and BitterSweet and The Mommy Bowl as well. The Pink Sugar-Free Vegan Frosting recipe originated at Nourishing Meals.
Gluten Free | Grain Free | Dairy Free | Egg Free | Refined Sugar Free | Real Food | Vegan | Vegetarian
- 2 Cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 Cup water
- 3/4 Cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 Cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 Cup potato starch
- 1/4 Cup almond flour
- 3/4 tsp xantham gum
- 1/3 Cup coconut palm sugar
- 2 Tbsp cacao powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 – 2 packets Stevia, to taste (I only used 1 packet, because I like a bit of tartness)
- 1/2 Cup virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 Cup lemon juice, about 1 large lemon (I used 1 plus 1/2 smaller lemons)
- 1 1/2 vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray donut pan with cooking spray. Note: I got 9 1/2 donuts out of this recipe.
- In a medium saucepan, cook cranberries and water until the berries are soft and start to split open (about 5-10 minutes). Remove from heat, set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Whisk the GF flours, xantham gum, coconut sugar, cacao powder, baking powder, salt and 1 pkg of stevia (if needed, you can add more later) until well blended. Sift the dry ingredients to aerate the GF flours and to break up any lumps. Set aside.
- Measure out 3/4 cup of the cooked cranberries. Be sure to get some of the juice from the saucepan.
- In a blender or a food processor, pulse and process the cranberries along with the juice or liquid until smooth. Measure out 3/4 cup of the cranberry purée. In a small mixing bowl, add the cranberry purée, coconut oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract and mix until very smooth and well mixed.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stir until just mixed. If you over mix, you will disturb the delicate structure of the GF flours. Gently spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan and smooth down the batter with the back of a teaspoon. These doughnuts don't rise much, so it's okay to fill to the top.
- Bake the doughnuts on the centre rack of preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn halfway through baking time.
- Do not under bake, or they will come out gummy and doughy. It's better to over bake than under bake these doughnuts. When done, doughnuts should feel solid on top and a toothpick should come out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then gently move to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before decorating with frosting (recipe below) and white chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
Gluten Free | Grain Free | Dairy Free | Egg Free | Refined Sugar Free | Real Food | Vegan | Vegetarian
- 1/2 Cup GF Vegan shortening (I used Earth Balance)
- 1/4 Cup arrowroot powder
- 1/4 Cup agave nectar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp almond flavoring
- 1-2 tsp cranberry purée
- White Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (to decorate)
- Place all ingredients except chocolate shavings into a mixing bowl and whip up with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This can be made a day ahead of time, stored at room temp. Just re-whip before frosting the doughnuts.
- Don't be shy about piling this frosting on. It is not overly sweet and the recipe makes plenty for the 9-10 pieces you'll get from the doughnut recipe.
- For the White Chocolate shavings, I used a vegetable peeler on a block of white chocolate and used my fingers to break the strips down into little shavings. Trouble finding Vegan, Dairy-Free White Chocolate? Here is a recipe from Bitter Sweet blog.
Don't forget to tune in for Week 2 of A Gluten Free Holiday Event next Thursday, November 10th. We'll be sharing Thanksgiving Favourites, from appetizers to desserts, at Cook It Allergy Free.

Huge, marauding robots transforming into vehicles fighting over the fate of the world boiled down to the simplest corners of good and evil. So simple, so pure, so awesome, and so seemingly easy to transpose to the realm of video games. With the blockbuster summer movie looming, who wouldn't want to start revving their engines and downing the Energon cubes a little early? Transformers: The Game is here, and it's mediocrity in disguise.
The harrowing plot is divvied between two separate campaigns, one for the noble Autobots, the other for the nihilist sect of robots known as the Decepticons. They're both searching for something called the AllSpark that will give whomever wields it tremendous power. So the bots keep running into each other and exchange blows, covered with a smattering of short, horribly compressed cutscenes. There's a human teenager dude wrapped up in this intergalactic brouhaha, who also gets fleeting seconds of screen time in the pixilated scenes.
It's safe to say story is riding shotgun this time around. There's enough going on to keep an ember of interest, but the plot is all around couching the arbitrary scenarios you will have to play through. And that sort of loose, connect-the-dots philosophy dogs the game at every step.
Transformers is wrapped in the now-familiar open city, where a Transformer can go around and goof off, until heading to the next green beacon on the map to further the plot. The city is filled with a lot of areas to explore for little collectables and not-so-hidden tokens to unlock content. But other than getting your Godzilla on and having a cathartic experience leveling the suburbs, there's not much else to do but replay past missions, or one of the few submissions, which play just like other missions, but without the plot.
Each mission sets you down as one particular transformer. The missions vary but all come down to destroying all the enemies in one point, racing to a spot, or destroying a certain item which is in a specific spot, guarded by some enemies. The Decepticons' campaign gets a slight nod with missions where you just destroy stuff in the name of progress. The Autobots get a demerit for underutilizing Optimus Prime. The Mack Truck Daddy doesn't get a lot of screen time.
Now, the big open city isn't the only setting, so you'll get a GTA playground in an underground military complex, and it just feels lame and tacked on. The game is woefully short, with each campaign's hours counted on one hand. Just when you become familiar with an area's layout, it's off to a new one.
The simplicity of the missions isn't helped with the dodgy camera and unresponsive controls. Even basic Transformers awesomeness is kicked to the curb. You can't transform while in midair. Want to jump off a building and turn into a hot rod and hit the street? Nope. Even the flying characters, only available for the Decepticons, can only change from vehicle to robot in midair and not vice versa. Add in the inane time limits and a string of challenges that reset on the smallest infraction, and you'll be replaying the same 30 seconds again and again.
Combat quickly becomes a game of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots since your weapons, which seem to carry a payload of a small nuclear device based on their collateral damage, won't hurt most of your enemies. The answer is to run up to them and pound the melee button until they explode into a shower of shrapnel and for whatever reason, metallic hearts. The boss characters are a bit more difficult. You have to throw things at them first. It's the same for every fight, down to the end. Missiles won't do a thing, but throw a tree or large novelty item and they stand still, flummoxed, while you run up and beat them down into an oily mess.
So, lame missions, filled, again, with arbitrary restrictions like time limits and invisible walls, meet a clunky camera and mindless wash/rinse/repeat combat that doesn't require the suspension of disbelief, but the annihilation of it.
This game has a decidingly more GoBot feel than Beast Wars. There's some joy just messing around in the city, and the destructible environments are great. Kicking an ambulance and swinging a giant wiener are fun, but all of the good stuff sits outside of the real game. Transformer fans can put on their AllSpark sunglasses and stomach this one, but everyone else should pass.

Freshmen selected by lottery
And the winner is ..... nearly three-dozen area students.
Tech Valley High School officials recently conducted a lottery for students seeking a spot in the freshman class next fall. The regional public high school chose 33 students whose home school districts indicated a willingness to send them to TVHS.
If all 33 students attend TVHS, it will be the largest incoming class at the school since 2009, Principal Dan Liebert said.
The 16 home school districts from which the students were selected were notified of the selection last week to notify the students. Notices from TVHS to the students are being mailed this week.
"Tech Valley gives the districts the opportunity to share the good news with the students first," said counselor Dean Walker.
Orientation for the new students is scheduled for May 19.

YouTube Announces New Original Channels Including Seedwell's "American Hipster"
SF-Based creative studio's comedic, hipster-themed, pop culture channel will feature three weekly shows starting April 2012
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- YouTube announced today that, starting next month, new original channels will start to roll out on its platform. YouTube has been working closely with content producers who will be creating new advertising-supported channels in the coming year for verticals including fashion, sports, music, comedy, animation, news and education.
The new channels are backed by some of the biggest producers and celebrities from Hollywood, some of the hottest emerging media companies, and some of the earliest pioneers of web video. YouTube has kick-started the creation of these channels and hopes the initiative will create new opportunities for both viewers and advertisers in their content ecosystem.
One lesser-known emerging media company involved in the channel roll out is San Francisco based creative studio, Seedwell (http://seedwell.com). No stranger to online video advertising, Seedwell has worked with brands like Pepsi, HTC, Blue Nile and Fujitsu and has produced several viral video hits, many of them in the tried-and-true music video parody format, amassing over 33 million views on YouTube. Such hits include "The New Dork", "Telephone: The Office Version" (Lady Gaga parody), "Tweet It", "Puke In My Mouth" (SNL parody), and "Big Dog Beta."
Seedwell's contribution to the YouTube initiative is a channel called "American Hipster" (http://youtube.com/americanhipster), which will launch in April of 2012 as a comedic channel that explores pop culture through the lens of hipsterism - that ironically popular movement built on not being popular. The American Hipster channel will feature three weekly shows. While two of them fall into popular YouTube formats—"Max Movie Reviews" is a Hollywood movie review show hosted by a funny, talking hipster baby (starring Maximus The Baby) and "Les Hip" is a weekly vlog-style roundup of pop trends and celebrity news hosted by two hilarious, ranting San Francisco hipsters (starring Robert Denning and Erika Shumate)—the third show, also titled "American Hipster," delves into a format new to most YouTube audiences: short documentary. The flagship show for the channel, American Hipster (hosted by Paavo Steinkamp) is a traveling documentary-style series that explores contemporary hipster culture first-hand in multiple cities across the country.
Seedwell is also no stranger to documentary. The company's new award-winning feature length film about an Iraqi Women's Basketball team entitled "Salaam Dunk" is currently making waves in the international film festival circuit. The film has recently screened to packed audiences at the Los Angeles Film Festival and Chicago International Film Festival (where it won The Gold Plaque), and is set to screen in Qatar at the Doha-Tribeca Film Festival and the International Documentary Film Festival of Amsterdam later this year.
Seedwell hopes American Hipster's blend of short and longer form content will engage much of YouTube's massive youth audience and encourage them to spend more time on the site week after week.
"It's really exciting to see YouTube work with a variety of content producers including people like us who have been dedicated to the YouTube platform since its inception," said Peter Furia, Partner and Head of Creative and Marketing at Seedwell. "YouTube has always been the best site for social video and we're looking forward to being a part of building even larger dedicated audiences around this latest influx of high quality video content. We, of course, encourage people who are interested in American Hipster to subscribe to the channel on YouTube, and follow its shows' Facebook pages and Twitter accounts."
"Having YouTube support Seedwell's production of regular content allows us to focus on what we do best - creating videos that people love to watch and share," said Beau Lewis, Partner and Head of Business at Seedwell. "This is also a great opportunity for our business; we believe the upside of online video advertising has yet to be fully realized and YouTube will play a key role in its evolution. We're excited to be a part of it."

The Weekly Standard
The Cocky Right
September 10, 2009
One striking thing to me is the extreme confidence conservatives have that health care reform will fail. The Weekly Standard has been at the forefront of this triumphalism. Fred Barnes, writing in the Weekly Standard, flatly declares reform won't even make it out of the House: [U]nless Obama has suddenly transformed public opinion, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid won't be able to find enough Democrats, even among the usually malleable Blue Dogs, willing to vote for ObamaCare. Defy the public to bail out a president in trouble?
Lowering Standards, Ctd.
September 09, 2009
How far can the Weekly Standard sink? Time will tell, but the cover of its current issue gives a pretty good sense of its depth at the moment. Accompanied by the cover line "Here the People Rule," the illustration--it's a bit small here, but I'll gladly link to a larger version if I find one--is of, well, an angry white mob.
The Courtship
August 31, 2009
In the spring of 2005, New York Times columnist David Brooks arrived at then-Senator Barack Obama's office for a chat. Brooks, a conservative writer who joined the Times in 2003 from The Weekly Standard, had never met Obama before. But, as they chewed over the finer points of Edmund Burke, it didn't take long for the two men to click. "I don't want to sound like I'm bragging," Brooks recently told me, "but usually when I talk to senators, while they may know a policy area better than me, they generally don't know political philosophy better than me.
August 27, 2009
The Weekly Standard's latest editorial, by Bill Kristol: Conservative policy wonks helped to explode the false budgetary and health-improvement claims made on behalf of Obamacare. Conservative polemicists pointed out how Obamacare--conceived in the spirit of budget chief Peter we-spend-too-much-as-a-nation-on-health-care Orszag and adviser Ezekiel we-need-to-stop-wasting-money-on-extending-low-quality-lives Emanuel--means, in effect, death panels. Right.
OK, It's a Little Coarse. But the Question Is Worth Asking.
August 25, 2009
Can anyone, and Eric Holder in particular, "find 12 [random] Americans who would vote to convict an American citizen for threatening the life of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?" I doubt it. Not even on the Upper West Side. (The question has been posed by Michael Goldfarb on the Weekly Standard web site.) But not even that fact can dispose of the problem. Which suggests that Attorney General Holder, by foraging into what is by contemporary standards ancient history, has put himself outside the matrix of democratic standards.
How Not To Write About Culture
August 22, 2009
From a new review of three Woodstock books in The Weekly Standard, courtesy of the endlessly charming P.J. O'Rourke: No social phenomenon can be completely analyzed, thoroughly critiqued, and given its full philosophical due in just one word. Except Woodstock. Altamont. And that--except for the shaded sidebar containing the titles of the reviewed books--should be the end of this book review. However, the long weekend of August 15-17, 1969, was one of the great where-weren't-you? moments of recent history. Along with 202,177,000 other Americans, where I wasn't was at Woodstock. Oh dear.
The Return Of Idealism
June 15, 2009
The past few years haven't been kind to foreign policy idealism--the belief that when authoritarian states mistreat their own people, it is a matter of concern for all of us. We idealists can largely blame ourselves for this. The biggest reason idealism fell out of favor was Iraq--a disastrous war that many of us foolishly supported in the naive belief that substituting liberalism for totalitarianism in the heart of the Middle East would be a relatively simple thing. We made mistakes beyond Iraq, too.
Is Murdoch Dumping The Weekly Standard?
June 09, 2009
Via Andrew, I notice the LA Times is reporting that Rupert Murdoch is in talks to unload The Weekly Standard. Sullivan adds: The possible buyer is a far right Christianist, Philip Anschutz, whose campaigns include keeping gay people marginalized (he funded Colorado's Amendment 2), discouraging the teaching of evolution (he founded the Discovery Institute), and the Pass It On organization, the Foundation For A Better Life. It would mean even more theoconservatism and Christianism at TWS - just what we need!
Obama's Goldwater Girl
December 01, 2008
What a difference a Democratic primary makes. During the 1990s, the Right treated Hillary Clinton like she was, if not the locus of all evil, something just next to it. Now that she's on track to be Obama's Secretary of State, Newt Gingrich is singing her praises and the Weekly Standard is calling her "The Great Right Hope." What gives? In this web piece, I take a closer look at the phenomenon. Some highlights: Richard Perle: "On the whole I'm quite pleased. She seems to me quite tough-minded. That's not a worldview, but it is a predisposition. ...
Tnr.com's Week In Review (7.18.08)
July 18, 2008
TNR started off the week by trouncing The Atlantic at softball and settling in for a Sunday read of Ryan Lizza's New Yorker piece. But our peace of mind was soon disturbed. Eve Fairbanks alerted us to the magazine's cover art, which the Obama campaign called "tasteless and offensive." Michael Crowley and Isaac Chotiner thought Obama was wrong to pick a fight about it, but Jason Zengerle disagreed and wondered if David Remnick didn't know what he was getting into.

This special Hudson River Almanac offers a snapshot of the ninth annual "Day in the Life of the Hudson River," during which students sampled the Hudson from its non-tidal reaches above Troy to the Lower Bay of New York Harbor. Over 3,200 participants visited 64 sites, learning about their piece of the river and - by sharing their data online - putting it in the context of the entire system. The entries in this journal came from students, classroom teachers, environmental educators, and "runners" who visited multiple sites to document activities and pick up samples for later testing.
Schodack Island, HRM 133: A Day in the Life was anxiously awaited by all. As the Doane Stuart School students arrived there was much buzz about all the cool things we would be doing. The children had not done the program before and loved every minute of it. I, having been there for several years, was a little sad. There were so many signs of the flooding from Tropical Storm Irene - dried cracked mud where there used to be grass and plants. When we tried to seine we could only walk down the boat ramp about eight feet before our waders got mired in mud above our ankles. On the bright side, we got a 6½" striper that thrilled the kids and a net full of spottail shiners - proof that nature recovers. As the day ended and the kids left I was packing up and looked down to see a monarch butterfly on my clipboard ... and the smile returned!
- Dawn Baldwin, Children's Museum of Science and Technology
Upper Works Trailhead, Adirondack High Peaks: I woke up at 12:20 AM in the trailhead parking lot near where the river is born. It was full and fast, roaring all night out of the mountains, like the powerhouse it is through the Troy Dam and down the Hudson Valley.
- Doug Reed, Hudson Basin River Watch
Corning Preserve, Albany, HRM 143: 4th graders reflect on A Day in the Life of the Hudson River:
Maura: "I learned that the Hudson River starts in the Adirondack Mts. and ends in the Atlantic Ocean."
Chrysolyte: "When we went to our next station, Karen taught us how to see how fast currents were going. We threw in an orange because it can float and it is bright so we can see it. The orange took 25.3 seconds to get from one place to another (25 ft)."
Nihara: "I learned about different types of fish, water chemistry, and we got to use a turbidity tube to check how clear the water was."
Matthew: "During the Day in the Life of the Hudson River, I learned that there are over 200 species of fish in the Hudson River. I observed a natural shoreline on the other side of the river."
Alexis: "My favorite part of the experience was when we pulled fish out of the river with a seine net."
Vivian: "There was very little salt in the water."
- Ms. Aiello's class and Mrs. Carras' class, Montessori Magnet
School, Albany
Cohotate Preserve, Athens, HRM 115: We had 37 students from Coxsackie-Athens and Cairo-Durham school districts at Cohotate. Although the ice house site here had been under water after tropical storm Irene, the only sign of the flooding was the large pile of woody debris on the shoreline of our fishing spot, which made it challenging to pull a net during higher tide conditions. The most persistent indication of this fall's torrential rains was the turbidity of the water. I had conducted an educational program on October 12, when there was a lot of woody debris and plant matter in the water and the seine net was full of water chestnut seeds. On October 12, the reading from our long sight turbidity tube was 12.5 centimeters [cm]. Just a few days later, on October 18, the water was placid and free of debris and the reading from the turbidity tube was around 37 cm! Quite a change.
- Liz LoGiudice, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Greene County
Esopus Meadows to Ulster Landing County Park, HRM 87-96: All groups on my Ulster County run appeared to be having a great day, although I think a few 'fashionista' teenage girls found the weather a bit chilly for tights and miniskirts.
- Nancy Beard, Hudson River Estuary Program
Ulster Landing County Park, HRM 96: A cloudy, breezy morning gave way to warming sunshine by noon as Kingston students exulted in their monitoring tasks. Surprisingly, extensive mud showed up in each seine pull, forcing the catch (mostly shiners) to struggle in the muck. This is a new phenomenon for this site, which is dominated by silt and sand. The day was highlighted by a juvenile bald eagle flying north and a migrating sharp-shinned hawk migrating south. Local cormorants, Canada geese and herring gulls made their appearance over the course of our "Day in the Life" investigation - new experiences for most of the students, who proclaimed it an "excellent day"!
- Dixon Onderdonk, Kingston High School
[Other sites besides Schodack Island and Ulster Landing County Park reported a layer of "new" mud on boat ramps or in shallows. Eroded from the Hudson's watershed by runoff from the heavy rains of tropical storms Irene and Lee, it settled on the bottom in the less turbulent waters of the mainstem.]
Kingston Point Beach, HRM 92: While collecting data at our respective stations we noticed a juvenile and a mature bald eagle tumbling in flight overhead. Students jumped to don binoculars as we witnessed the seemingly playful behavior. The adult then perched high in the canopy of a tree near the river's edge as the juvenile delighted our large group of citizen scientists, soaring, banking, and gliding not 75 feet overhead.
- Julie Noble, Forsyth Nature Center
Waryas Park, Poughkeepsie, HRM 76: Kids (and adults returning from previous Days in the Life) definitely noticed the debris/pollution along the shore. The 45' tree lying in the river was hard to miss too - all evidence of Irene/Lee and heavy rains since! Our fish sampling showed diversity - it was very exciting to see striped bass, yellow perch, spottail shiner, herring galore, and two nice-sized eels from the eel pot! Observing the orange flowing with the current was a surprise to most students!
- Lisa DiMarzo, Mid-Hudson Children's Museum
Riverfront Park, Beacon, HRM 61.2: It was a beautiful morning as teachers and students from Valley Central Middle School (the middle school I attended!) arrived. Four of my past middle school teachers were there to help 8th grade biology classes work through their stations, investigating the habitats and organisms of the Hudson. Introduced as Mr. Meyer, I told the students not to call me that; then, doing the calculations in my head, I realized that it had been over 15 years since I was in their shoes. The students and teachers did a great job; it was very cool to give back to my teachers in this way, and maybe show them that they played an important role in interesting at least one student in biology.
- Andrew Meyer, Hudson River Estuary Program
Long Dock, Beacon, HRM 61E: Findings from fourth graders: Our river was healthy for fish life. It was an ebb tide. We used a 30 foot seine net and caught many herring and a golden shiner and an awesome water scorpion. There was a flock of Canada geese, gulls, a heron, and many beautiful monarch butterflies. We really liked thinking about being one small group among dozens of groups of kids learning about the river and collecting data all at the same time.
- Tery Udell's students, Forrestal Elementary School, Beacon
[The water scorpion is actually an insect in the true bug family. It grabs prey with a pair of forelimbs that resemble a scorpion's pincer-tipped forelegs (though the water scorpion's arms do not have pincers). Its long tail siphon resembles a scorpion's venomous tail but serves as a breathing tube. Adult water scorpions are air breathers and use their tail siphon to keep a bubble of air filled on their belly. Measuring two inches long, this water scorpion pushed the upper size limit for this bug!]
In mid-morning I witnessed a fond farewell as Forrestal Elementary School students released a foot-and-a-half long American eel back into the Hudson. The students got a quick lesson about the oddities of eels' life cycles, and gently felt its slimy skin with its tiny scales, agreeing it felt like cold cooked pasta. We took lots of pictures. I think by the time they waved goodbye to the eel and sent it back on its way down the Hudson, some of the students were pretty close to the little spaghetti.
- Andrew Meyer, Hudson River Estuary Program
Donahue Park, Cornwall-on-Hudson, HRM 57: With fourth graders from Willow Avenue Elementary in Cornwall on hand, we pulled our seine ashore, burgeoning with small fish, mostly young-of-the-year blueback herring 55-62 millimeters [mm] long. There was a mix of other species including striped bass (70 mm), white perch, spottail shiners, white sucker, tessellated darters, and bluegill sunfish. The water temperature was 62 degrees F and the salinity was not measurable. We made a monarch count; by day's end we had eleven but likely missed several more.
- Chris O'Sullivan, Libby Young, Tom Lake
[Young of the year - abbreviated YOY - are fish born this year, most in early summer. Their abundance in fall is one of the reasons we schedule Day in the Life for this season. Finding them in our seines reminds us that the Hudson offers critical nursery habitat for these youngsters, feeding and sheltering them at one of the most vulnerable points in their life cycles.]
Steamboat Dock, Verplanck, HRM 41: As the morning started off a bit chilly, I thought finding student volunteers to retrieve a sediment core sample would be difficult. However, an eager group of students immediately volunteered. Despite their initial excitement, they entered the water somewhat apprehensively and began by taking the first core sample in as shallow water as possible. Within five minutes that same group of students had completely embraced the chilly water as they waded out further into the river. After collecting their third core sample, they came ashore drenched from head to toe, asking through chattering teeth if I needed any more samples! Their excitement for science was great to experience on this wonderful Day in the Life of the Hudson River.
- Laura Heil, Student Conservation Association Hudson Valley Corps, and Bob Connick's Mahopac High School students
Bowline Point, Haverstraw, HRM 37: The river was warmer (63 degrees F) than the air (53), so it felt good to slip into the water for our Day in the Life program. Students from Nanuet High School took notes as senior Anna Gremli hauled the deep end of our 85-foot seine out into Haverstraw Bay. With a salinity reading of about 0.2 parts per thousand [ppt] on our pen meter, expectations of catching exotic marine species were limited. As our net unfolded we were delighted to find seaward-bound YOY blueback herring (60-65 mm), American shad (85-90 mm), and striped bass (70-75 mm). As a reminder of the lower-than-usual autumn salinity, we also caught YOY gizzard shad (80-85 mm) - a fish more common in upriver freshwater reaches.
- Chuck Barone, Tom Lake
[The U.S. Geological Survey located the salt front at HRM 35.7 on Day in the Life 2011.]
Louis Engel Waterfront Park, Ossining, HRM 32: Ossining High School had a glorious morning at Louis Engel Waterfront Park. By the time I arrived, students and teachers were hard at work seining, sampling, laughing, and videotaping. We tested salinity using a plastic hydrometer, and it was hard to tell if readings were low (one ppt) or really low (closer to zero)! The likely proximity of the salt front was suggested by our fish catch: Atlantic silversides (which prefer salty or brackish water) and spottail shiners (which prefer freshwater) came up in the same hauls.
- Chris Bowser, Bridget Bauman, Artie Carlucci
Nyack Beach State Park, HRM 31: Many Blue Rock School children were back for a second year, making the day rich and dimensional as they built on their 2010 experiences. Irene had rearranged things: we had to work around large driftwood debris on the beach and in the water when seining. Core sampling brought up gravel mixed with silt. The clay/silt that we cored last year to make art was buried down below - we twisted our toes and worked our feet down to find it. This year's art/science station played off of the river's salinity (970 parts per million chloride). Students worked with salt and watercolors, watching the salt's interaction with pigments on their wet paper. They considered how fish have to adapt to migrate back and forth between salt and fresh water. Awareness of the shifting salt front and where fresh and salt water originate was also tied in. As teachers, we join all the day's leaders in loving Day in the Life for the pure joy it brings of seeing children step into the water in waders for the first time. We know this a life-changing experience for them. They immediately strike up a new relationship with the river - from this they will forevermore know the river differently.
- Laurie Seeman and Joanna Dickey, Strawtown Studio
When I went to the Hudson River, I learned that the murkiness of the water is not pollution; it is actually some nutrition for the fish. I was so surprised that the tides came up high so quickly, and the wind got really strong. I enjoyed seining because my group caught four fish! I liked it because I loved the feeling when the waders kind of squeezed my body - I felt like I was on the moon. I also enjoyed the art because we used salt and added drops of paint; it blended together and looked cool. I liked the texture of the salt. I found Chemistry and the Physical stations challenging because of all the big and fancy words. Even though some things were challenging it was still fun to go and help the environment.
- Ashley, 5th/6th grader, Blue Rock School
Mathiessen Park, Irvington, HRM 25E: Upon arriving at Mathiessen Park in Irvington, I was told that they had caught nothing last year. With that, despite many unsuccessful hauls, we persevered. Surprisingly we were rewarded with eight blueback herring, seven Atlantic silversides, and even an immature female blue crab! A great start to a lesson on Hudson River fish and invertebrate ecology for Irvington's Main Street School fifth graders!
- Rachel Lowenthal, Student Conservation Association Hudson Valley Corps
[Based on 2011 data received to date, blue crabs were few and far between compared to past years.]
Piermont Pier, HRM 25W: Tappan Zee, Pearl River and Clarkstown South high school students spent the day as one of 10 different fish species moving through the various sampling stations. Would they survive with the salinity, oxygen or pH levels they encountered? Would they be eaten by other fish pulled up in the net, and would they have enough to eat themselves with the assortment of biota we pulled up in the plankton pump and seine? The students found that all but one of their species was actually pulled from the river that day between the anglers on the pier and our seining. It was fun to reflect that all through the estuary these same quests for survival are ongoing for river species.
- Margie Turrin, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory; Tom Mullane, Jo Mosella & Eilleen McCaffrey, Pearl River High School; Jen Mazza, Clarkstown South High School; Ellen Pollina & Pat Kilkelly, Tappan Zee High School
Kinnally Cove, Hastings-on-Hudson, HRM 22: The day was picture perfect! The Hastings students were thrilled to be outside, exploring the river and enjoying the sunshine. The favorite activity was putting on the waders and getting in the water to find fish. Other students commented that they liked the chemical analysis because they felt like real scientists. Overall the day was a great success!
- Melissa Shandroff, Hastings-on-Hudson High School
Mt. St. Vincent College, Riverdale, HRM 17: After a long walk from the train station, the scene at the College of Mount Saint Vincent was sheer delight. Dr. Grove's college students worked alongside high schoolers from Manhattan's Frederick Douglass Academy. Teacher Jeanine Brown led a group of students in measuring dissolved oxygen, while several other students constructed a strange device of branches and string to attempt to recover a minnow pot trapped by the rising tide. The creature feature was a small male mud crab.
- Chris Bowser, Jeannine Brown, Dr. Pat Grove
Englewood Boat Basin, HRM 13: Ramapo College's Meadowlands Environment Center staff set up three learning stations on the shore, competing for space with logs, lumber, and other flotsam swept into the river and onto the beach, in large part by tropical storms Irene and Lee. Among the fish caught at the seining station were a number of YOY river herring, usually an infrequent catch in the lower estuary during Day in the Life. The huge volumes of fresh water poured into the Hudson during the storms had given these young fish an express ride on their seaward migration. They didn't look ready for the rigors of life in the ocean.
- Steve Stanne, Hudson River Estuary Program
Inwood Hill Park, Harlem River, Manhattan: One of the last groups of the day was Ms. Ramirez's afterschool group from Marble Hill. They walked across the Harlem River on Broadway and into Inwood Hill Park at Manhattan's northern tip. When Steve asked for volunteers to seine with him in the cove, the students jumped at the chance, oblivious to their neckties and school clothes. Several hauls revealed a variety of species, including white perch, YOY striped bass, Atlantic silversides, lots of mummichogs, and three gizzard shad, which the ranger said they hadn't seen there before. It was a perfect place to wrap up a great day, with the setting sun lighting up the trees, the Henry Hudson Bridge over the Spuyten Duyvil, and the Bronx neighborhoods across the Harlem River.
- Chris Bowser, Steve Stanne, Beth Roessler, Ranger Sonny Carrao, Olivia Ramirez
Pier 45, Hudson River Park, Manhattan, HRM 3: Kindergarten and first grade students from PS 3 walked to Hudson River Park's Pier 45 for a slightly chilly and rainy start to their Day in the Life of the Hudson. They didn't seem fazed by the cold (14.5 degrees C) as they measured dissolved oxygen, pH, and salinity with Shino Tanikawa of the New York City Soil and Water Conservation District. My favorite moment was when Shino held up a device and asked the young students "What is this?" They responded in unison, "A hydrometer!" "And what does it measure?" "Salinity!"
- Sarah Mount, Shino Tanikawa, Susan Solar
Pier 40, Hudson River Park, Manhattan, HRM 2: Students from Trevor Day School joined River Project educators to sample the river at Hudson River Park's Pier 40. The third graders rotated through stations - at one they looked at some of the fish River Project has caught locally and kept for education programs, including oyster toadfish, a horseshoe crab, and even a seahorse!
- Sarah Mount, Chris Anderson, Karen Johnson
Gantry State Park, East River, Queens: Students from Baruch College Campus High School (Manhattan) were the station leaders for Day in the Life water monitoring conducted by elementary students from PS 78 in Long Island City. Teachers and students worked together to plan and implement this unique approach to Snapshot Day.
- Kim Estes-Fradis, New York City Department of Environmental Protection
[High schoolers and college students in teacher training programs helped teach younger students at a number of sites including Henry Hudson Park in Bethlehem, Norrie Point in Staatsburg, Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie, Croton Point Park, and Pier 45 in Manhattan.]
Brooklyn Bridge, East River, Manhattan: A beautiful day beneath the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. I arrived to gather samples from Ella Baker School students and faculty and the able staff from the Lower East Side Ecology Center. The middle schoolers were engaged in learning about the estuary, joyful at being outside near the water on a sunny day. Participants admired a shining young striped bass brought in by the net. As might be expected, some more exotic finds were noted in our urban estuary too, the most curious being a coconut floating in on the morning tide. "Not from around here!" (although it was anybody's guess how and where the coconut got into the water). As the group set out for the school buses, I noticed that more than a few of the kids would be spending at least part of the rest of the day happily drying out from this morning's watery adventure.
- Nordica Holochuck, New York Sea Grant
Governor's Island, Upper Bay of New York Harbor: A ferry ride took me to Governor's Island to meet with an AP class from the Harbor School. The water testing pros split into stations to sample Upper New York Bay on what had turned into a beautiful sunny day. They recorded an average of 6.5 mg/L dissolved oxygen, 16 ppt salinity, 19 degree C water temperature, and 7.3 pH.
- Sarah Mount, Roy Arezzo, Tizoc Gomez
Valentino Pier, Upper Bay of New York Harbor, Brooklyn: Valentino Park was busy during Day in the Life 2011. NY/NJ Baykeeper and PS 230 teamed up and seined the beach, catching only Atlantic silversides - nearly 50 in the first early morning seine, but fewer each pull as the day went on. The pier held half a dozen local anglers, some working up to four poles at a time. Many youngsters in our group, avid anglers themselves, were delighted to see fish after fish reeled in. A school of bunker [Atlantic menhaden] had come in and were jumping out of the water trying frantically to escape hungry striped bass and bluefish. One fisherman caught a three-foot-long striper!
- Katie Mosher-Smith and Kerstin Kalchmayr, NY/NJ Baykeeper

This speeds up import. Andi observed that import makes this call 3.6 million times importing his 446 event calendar. http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/chandler-dev/2007-March/007946.html Andi moved view.findValues() to C -- called half a million times importing his 446 event calendar. http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/chandler-dev/2007-March/007948.html Andi moved view.findInheritedValues() to C -- called 521,580 times importing his 446 event calendar. http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/chandler-dev/2007-March/007949.html Andi implemented ICUtzinfo and FloatingTZ classes in C. These classes have 750,000 calls to their methods while importing the 446 event calendar. http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/chandler-dev/2007-March/007954.html *translator's loadItemByUUID deprecated* Morgen replaced the method above with translator.withItemForUUID. Taking the same arguments, the method can be used: - non decorator: the method will not return the item - decorator: for the case where your importer needs access to the item being loaded or created.

WEBSTER COUNTY, Ky. (2/6/13) - A bit of heroics from a variety of Trojans lifted Webster over district-rival Union County 52-49 Friday night at Trojan gym before a packed-house on Homecoming night. It was the second win of the season for WCHS over the Braves and it improved the Trojans' record to 15-9. Logan Prow, a senior guard, drained a pair of free throws with just seconds on the clock to give Webster a 50-49 lead. Then on Union's final possession of the game, fellow senior Kyle Hayes swiped a pass and was fouled. He sank two more free throws to set the final score.
"It was a very well played game by both teams and I thought our guys play with a lot of heart and intensity and just kept with it until the final horn," noted WCHS coach Jon Newton. "We dug ourselves a hole with our selfish play during the second quarter but was able to regroup at halftime and come out in the third quarter to make a charge." Newton was referring to Webster's dismal total of three points in the second quarter while the Braves reeled off 18.
Webster had a 13-7 lead heading into the second stanza, but after the 18-3 run, the Trojans found themselves down 25-16 at intermission.
The Trojans used a 12-9 scoring advantage in the third quarter to trim the lead to 34-28 heading into the very exciting fourth quarter. Webster got some big plays from just about every player on the floor in the final eight minutes and was near perfect at the free throw line. The Trojans sank 22-of-29 free throws in the game.
"I thought we were very aggressive and did an excellent job of getting to the free throw line, several of those coming in the final minutes of the game. All five starters made a big play in the final minute of the game," Newton added.
J. D. Newton and Dan Boswell also sank critical free throws in the final 1:01 and Mason Roland drained a 'huge' 3-pointer with :47 left to go to tie the game. With Union County clinging to that one-point lead, Logan Prow put the Trojans up for good with a pair of free throws and just 9 ticks on the clock. Hayes then intercepted the UCHS in-bounds pass and he was fouled. He put the finishing touches on the dramatic comeback with his two clutch free throws for the 3-point victory.
"It's very rewarding as a coach to see so many players have a hand in a victory, especially in the final minute of the game," Newton concluded.
Prow led the Trojans offensively with 19 points, going 11-for-12 at the free throw line. He also added four rebounds. Hayes added 14 points while Roland finished with seven points, four steals and three assists. Dan Boswell contributed with six points and six rebounds while J. D. Newton added six points and six boards as well. Webster forced Union (14-9) into 16 turnovers, six coming in the final 4:32 of the game. The Braves held a slim 21-20 rebounding edge.
Webster County 61 Lyon County 60 The Trojans keep inching towards the 20-win plateau with another spectacular come-from-behind win against the homestanding Lyons Monday night in Eddyville. After losing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, it took a miracle shot from sophomore Mason Roland to claim the victory.
After Lyon County's Tyler Martin sank a pair of free throws with 0:02.1 to play to give the Lyons a 60-58 lead, the Trojans' Kyle Hayes inbounded the ball from the baseline. Roland came off a screen, received the pass, took one dribble and launched a 50-footer one step behind midcourt. The buzzer-beating shot banked-in for the winner as the Trojan bench erupted in celebration.
"Another crazy ending for the Trojans," said Newton. "We played good in spurts but our defensive intensity wasn't where it should have been tonight. But somehow we sneaked out with a victory after letting them (Lyon) back into the game. But our guys kept battling and never quit and found a way to win."
The Trojans (16-9) led by nine points heading into the fourth quarter only to see the Lyons put together a 17-9 run to close the gap to a one-point win.
"Coach (Kenneth) Hayes drew up the play," Newton said of the full-court situation. "It was great to see our players' reactions after the game. Pretty special."
It was 13-all at the first quarter break but the Trojans, behind six points each from Kyle Hayes and Dan Boswell took the lead in the second period with a 20-14 scoring advantage for a 33-27 halftime lead. Hayes led the Trojans with 22 points plus five rebounds and six steals. Fellow senior Boswell had one of his finest nights of his career, pouring in 20 points along with six rebounds. Mason Roland was also in double figures with 12 points and four assists.
"Dan stepped up and had a huge night for us offensively, maybe his best offensive performance. He attacked the rim aggressively and I'm very proud of his progression he's made throughout the season," Newton concluded. Webster opened the third quarter with a 5-0 run and stretched its lead to 52-44 heading into the final eight minutes of play.
Turnovers were a key in the game as the Trojans committed 15 miscues, one of their highest totals of the season. The Lyons also held a 28-25 rebounding edge and connected on 11-of-13 from the free throw line. Webster was 14-for-20 from the line.
Lyon County drained seven 3-pointers in the contest while the Trojans had five, three from Hayes and two from Roland. Logan Prow added three points in the contest while ripping down a game-high eight rebounds. J. D. Newton finished with two points and four rebounds. Max McMain completed the scoring with two points.
The Trojans are back on the road Friday night, traveling to Henderson County for a crucial matchup with the Colonels. Winner of this game will earn top-seed in the 6th District Tournament and an automatic bid into the Second Region tourney. Henderson won the first matchup between the arch-rivals back in December.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — Students, parents and teachers will start the final countdown to the new school year next week with open houses for the kids and a Friday rally for system employees.
For the second year, open house events will be held system-wide rather than school by school, allowing parents with students in more than one school to attend all open houses without scheduling conflicts.
All elementary-school open houses will be Thursday from 1 until 3 p.m., with middle-school open houses from 4 until 6 p.m. and 9th-grade open houses from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. Sophomores, juniors and seniors will have their open houses Aug.16 from 6 until 8 p.m.
The first day of school for students is Aug. 13.
Clayton County Schools spokesman David Waller said open houses typically attract 50 to 80 percent of parents, with even higher participation for students entering middle school or 9th grade.
"We tend to have a really good turnout," Waller said.
Assistant Superintendent Susan Patrick said open houses are an excellent way to start the school year.
"They give parents an opportunity to volunteer for projects, join support organizations and have a chance to see construction projects completed over the summer," Patrick said.
Parents can contact their child's school directly to learn more about scheduled open house activities.
School system employees will start the year Friday morning with talks from Superintendent Edmond Heatley and others at an outdoor "convocation" at Tara Stadium in Jonesboro.
"It's been a difficult couple of years with budget cuts and all, and he [Heatley] wants to talk to staff as close to face to face and let them know they're appreciated," Waller said.
With about 8,000 school system employees, Tara Stadium was the only venue big enough to accommodate everyone, Waller said. The biggest indoor venue in the school system would have been the performing arts center, which holds only about 1,800.
Waller said 1,000 bottles of water will be available for system employees, who will be bused from their schools early in the morning to attend the 9 a.m. rally.

We've seen many ultra-high definition displays over the past three years, with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. We've also seen ultra-wide screen panels with a resolution of 5120 x 2160 (5K), the biggest of which were just released by Samsung and LG (105-inch diagonals).
Those two we mentioned are actually doubly unusual, as they have curved 4K displays. Now, Samsung has gone ahead and combined the concepts of flat-panel TV with that of the curved display.
Curved TVs offer a higher degree of immersion, but they might not be best suited for group movie nights because of the smaller field of view.
Admittedly, when your screen has a gargantuan size of 105 inches, the field of view isn't going to be a problem. That can't be said about, say, 40- to 45-inch models though.
The new display that Samsung released in its home market is not that small. At 78 inches in diagonal, it's actually still pretty large. Large enough to need buyers to perform some landscaping concessions in their sitting rooms. Still, it is quite a bit smaller than 105 inches.
Anyway, the curious trait of the new Ultra HDTV is that it can change from a flat panel to a curved display on command.
The change is achieved by motors built into the edges of the frame. The screen actually has two frames: the actual frame/bezel, and a second one that borders it. The second one has motors that push the edges of the TV inwards when you wish them to.
The curvature angle is about the same as that of every other curved TV on the market, so not that glaringly obvious.
Samsung seems to have managed to one-up LG for once, as the latter doesn't have this type of form-changing television or monitor on the market or in the roadmap.
Admittedly, LG did unveil a rollable OLED screen not long ago, but for all its ability to turn into a cylinder the product has too poor a resolution to be anything more than a proof of concept (1200 x 810 pixels).
Thus, the ongoing and none too friendly competition between the two South Korean companies is not jarringly blatant, for once. Unfortunately, we do not know the price of the new flat-to-curved Samsung 4k TV, or the estimated time of arrival (ETA) for all the countries other than the company's home market. It will be quite droll if LG managed to offer something similar by the time availability ramps up.

Is it common practice to use "pain pumps" for pain control after a tummy tuck? How well does it assist with pain control?
Pain Pumps for Pain Control After a Tummy Tuck?
Doctor Answers 12
Pain pumps for pain control after tummy tuck
Pain pumps are now very commonly used after tummy tucks.
They deliver a controlled, foolproof amount of local anesthetic (numbing medicine) directly into the area of fascial tightening. There are no buttons to press. The medicine is delivered over a period of three days, after which time most patients start to wean off their pain medication.
Good pain control is not only good for patient comfort; it also prevents splinting and collapse of segments of the lung after surgery, and enables the patient to walk better. Win-win.
Web reference: http://drbrent.com/signature/hybrid-tummy-tuck/
Pain Pumps for Pain Control After a Tummy Tuck?
These pumps deliver a slow and steady amount of bupivicaine, a local anesthetic, and some feel that it reduces post op pain med requirements.
I never used them for years, started a year ago, and have stopped as I found little need and no general improvement.
An alternative to the pump is infection with Exparel, another technology to deliver bupivicaine, which is injected during surgery, lasts 3 days, like the pumps, and is much simpler on the surgeon and patient. I have used it a number of times, but not enough to note any significant difference in pain yet.
Discuss with your surgeon. But pain management though important is a sideshow--choose your surgeon based on expected outcome. Thanks for your question, all the best.
Pain pumps effective with Tummy tuck surgery
We have used the On-Q pain pumps for nearly a decade on tummy tuck surgeries with excellent pain control. Recently, we have begun using Exparel- a long acting numbing medicine with good results as well.

I do not use the pain pump in my practice. I have never seen the need. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns and expectations.
Pain control for tummy tuck
An On Q pain pump is a tiny catheter that drips a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) into your surgical site to help minimize your postoperative pain. The experience with On-Q pain pumps have been mixed. Some of my colleagues love using them while others have not been pleased with the results.I have been using Naropin for nerve blocks to numb out the muscle tightening from a tummy tuck. The numbing effects can last up to 24 hours. More recently, I've started using a new FDA medication called Exparel. This is a slow release marcaine (numbing medicine) that can last up to 3-4 days. Please talk to your PS about these different options.
Best of luck.

Pain Control After a Tummy Tuck
We use pain pumps for pain control after tummy tucks. This is similar to having a long acting Novocain after dental surgery. This medication is slowly administered through the body for up to three days; controlling the problem for a long period of time.
Recently, we have begun to utilize an alternative medication, Exparel. This long lasting anesthetic is injected directly into the tissue and has the same longevity as a pain pump --minus the annoyance of a "pump". Patients have been very pleased and comfortable with the pain control with this new medication. All the best -- Dr. Cohen
Pain pumps after tummy tuck.
I like to use the passive pain pumps (Go pump, On-Q) for tummy tucks. They are not a stand alone solution to the abdominal pain, but I believe that patients do get some relief in the early postoperative period.

Pain pumps after abdominoplasty
Hello, Pain pumps are a part of "mainstream" management including after tummy tuck. However their effectiveness varies depending on which research study you might read. Pumps will reduce rather than eliminate pain and you can get powerful pain relief from careful injection of the "ab" muscles at the time of surgery - this gives good relief for 12-15 hours without a tube from your tummy to the external pump. Of course 12-15 hours is still short so like many things there is a trade-off. Generally, I can get very good pain control without these devices so I don't routinely use them - but I wouldn't criticise those who do.
The attached link might be of interest.
Best Wishes
Pain pumps or Exparel with tummy tucks
"Pain pumps" such as the On-Q system have been in use for several years with tummy tucks and are very helpful. They infuse a numbing solution into the surgical area through tiny catheters over about 3 days. A newer alternative is Exparel, a slow-release numbing agent that does not require the catheter or reservoir bulb.
Pain pumps
Pain pumps are used by many surgeons and work well. There are many ways for a surgeon to help reduce post operative pain for their patients. Exparel is a new medication you can ask your surgeon about as well.

Welcome to Red Bull's weekly rock music bulletin, where we will be recalling some of the biggest and most unforgettable moments in the culture, as well as dishing out some exclusive news bits.
It might have been an abnormally quiet week for the rock culture, but there have been a couple of big happenings. For instance, on this week's Billboard 200 Album Chart, a couple of bands made some high debuts and one group in particular refuses to go away.
Chart Topping Albums
The Strokes landed at #4 with their new effort Angels, beating out this week's other hot debut Vices & Virtues by Panic! At The Disco, who came in at #7. Not only have The Strokes beaten out Panic! At The Disco on the Billboard 200, but they topped the Rock and Alternative Albums Chart as well.
Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More remains in the Billboard 200 top ten for the 53rd straight week, this time grabbing the #8 slot. They also held down the top spot on the Folk Albums Chart, just furthering speculation that Mumford & Sons will never be dethroned from the top spot of that chart. Lastly, for the fifth week in a row, The Foo Fighters' remain atop the Rock and Alternative Songs Charts with their single "Rope."
New Bands for 2011 Warped Tour
Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2011 Warped Tour lineup just got a little hotter. Nine new bands have been added to the bill, all of which are headlining acts in their respective sub-genres. Just announced for the summer's hottest festival are hardcore pop-punk troupe A Day To Remember, alternative hip-hop fused outfit Gym Class Heroes, hardcore metal five-piece August Burns Red, electro-rock duo 3OH!3, punk rock band Against Me!, and metalcore collectives The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria and Attack Attack! Also, pop rock sensation Paramore will be playing select dates.
The Hazelnut Hang
Sister Hazel, best known for the 1997 smash hit "All For You," have announced their sixth annual Hazelnut Hang. The three-day event, scheduled to take place from June 3rd to June 5th at The Windjammer in Isle Of Palms, South Carolina, will feature concerts on all three dates. Additionally, there will be meals, a sand castle contest and plenty of interaction time with Sister Hazel, not to mention a special acoustic set featuring the group's front man Ken Block and rhythm guitarist Andrew Copeland. Tickets are limited.
Super Ball IX with Phish
Phish has also announced a three-day event of their own. The Vermont music legends, whom perhaps the most incredible cult following ever seen in all of mankind, will hold the Super Ball IX – their ninth installment of their festival – from July 1st to July 3rd at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York. In addition to numerous band performances, there will be countless activities, attractions and art installations going on throughout the festival. Tickets for Super Ball IX go on sale April 4th and will be $200.00. Sounds kinda steep, but anyone who purchases tickets will also be treated to a free MP3 download of each set Phish performs at Super Ball IX.
More than a Simple Plan
Everybody's favorite French Canadian pop punk quintet, Simple Plan, have officially premiered their new song "Can't Keep My Hands Off You" featuring Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo and damn, is that song catchy as hell! The single, which will appear on Walt Disney's teen movie Prom, will serve as the leadoff to their upcoming studio album. The effort drops June 21st and a title has yet to be named.
LCD Soundsytem at MSG
And in a closing note, LCD Soundsystem will be playing their last show ever this Saturday Night at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Red Bull would like to thank LCD Soundsystem for their contributions to the rock music culture over the past several years. With that said, let's take one last look at one of their finest videos to commemorate the occasion.

Hi Vicky,
Is the application response is slow or the job rate is slow?
If the application is running slow, you can check if the latest hotfixes are installed. If Backup Exec is already up to date then you can try a reboot of the server, if that also does not give the expected result then repair of Backup Exec application can help.
Appreciate every help you get, to help yourself better & Please mark 'SOLUTION' for the post which resolved your issue.
