What is the safest airline in the world?
- From: news.com.au
- January 10, 2013
- Qantas is not on the latest top ten safest airlines list
- Virgin Australia has made the list
- Safest airline is actually Finnair
THE top 10 safest airlines in the world have been revealed. Qantas is not one of them.
Europe's Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC) released the list this week. The website monitors crashes all around the world, photographing planes in the worst possible state. Don't read it if you are about to travel somewhere.
According to them, Finnair is now the world's safest airline, followed by Air New Zealand.
Virgin Australia beat Qantas onto the list taking the number nine spot. Even the Brits are better than Qantas. BA scored the final number 10 position.
What do you think of the list? Are you shocked about Qantas? Or is that what you would expect? Tell us below.

AIR NZ, got to be kidding, hello 1979 one their Dc10 crashed killing 257.. Qantas never had a hull lost, even recently with the A380 flight QF32 engine exploded, only the skill of the flight crew not airbus kept the perfect record..

and yet, they still conduct themselves with arrogance and their famous "better than you" attitudes.

Where is Singapore Airlines? This airline has consistently won best Airline in the world on so many occasions. I am sure they don't just win on their superior service alone.

As far as Air New Zealand goes its convenient that they only go back 30 years because that removes the Mount Erebus crash which killed 257 and having a 747 hi-jacked in Fiji obviously doesn't affect your rating either. I agree that Virgin is a better airline than Qantas with it falling down many different airline lists in the world thanks to it's staff.

And in no small part to the current management's strategy, thank you for all your skills you bought with you from the previous airlines you stuffed. Barry

No surprise there. Qantas has relied on false advertising for years regarding their safety record. Just another list Qantas are rapidly dropping down on which includes safety, quality, comfort and passenger care. If it wasn't for government contracts they would already be out of business.

It is unfortunate that every media source within Australia takes any opportunity they can to bash or paint in a negative light an Australian icon. When was the last time the media reported all the wonderful charity work the company does? The fact that it is Australian owned? The planes qantas provided to rescue those affected by qld floods last year? The fact that regardless of this stupid article no Qantas plane has been lost or crashed, and that any mid air incidents (which happen on any airline) have always resulted in safe landings for all passengers, due to the crew on board and the high level of training they receive specifically for those situations? I'm very tired of the media bashing Qantas. I fly it all the time. It's a great airline. And we should all be praising the achievements of an Australian company, not trying to take it down.

No doubt the results are heavily influenced by airline bashing which is so prevalent in Australia against Qantas, with much pf the damage thanks to the unions.

Frank O'Connor of Rye Posted at 7:39 AM January 10, 2013
Alan Joyce and the current board of Qantas sold the farm over the last four years. They've trashed the airline, the safety record, the brand, the shares and the business, and created a small airline out of what had been a great one. They've penny ante'd their customers, blown away customer loyalty, and destroyed customer confidence with their heavy handed lockout strategies ... on the way to trashing the full service model in favour of the 'Irish experience' of RyanAir at Qantas. As a shareholder, the only reason I keep my Qantas shares nowadays is for a handy capital loss when I sell shares that have performed well. Qantas by comparisom has dropped through the floor during the current Board and Management's tenure.

In that list Finnair, Air New Zealand, Cathay and TAP have had fatalities. QF was ranked 13th. Also Rainman never said it was safest. He said it hadn't crashed, and at the time, 1988 it hadn't crashed a jet. I'd still fly on any of them.

Aussie Bob of Tummamarine Posted at 7:52 AM January 10, 2013
Congratulations to the Qantas leadership. Getting rid of the your emploees has an affect on your operations, it's not just about cutting costs ie making highly qualified staff redundant. It's about time you relize what you are creating here. Safe or not?
Comment 11 of 61
John of Syney west Posted at 7:53 AM January 10, 2013
What this list does not show is the ability of an airline to handle a mid air crisis without loss of aircraft or passengers, would any traveller be satisfied to travel with any of the top 10 knowing that these airlines may not have been exposed to a disaster that required skill and training from the pilots to successfully bring the aircraft and its pasengers safely to ground.
Comment 12 of 61
Frank P. of Melbourne Posted at 8:05 AM January 10, 2013
That's an interesting way to rate the safety of an airline, which ignores the history. Air New Zealand had a very big accident with over 250 people killed in a single crash. I guess companies learn from accidents, though.
Comment 13 of 61
doug of NSW Posted at 8:05 AM January 10, 2013
Not surprised for a minute, based on internal flight service, esp domestic. The flight service is sooo much more pleasant on nearly every other airline.
Comment 14 of 61
Brian of Sydney Posted at 8:08 AM January 10, 2013
Interesting that there's no real information on how this list is compiled, what counts as an incident, who audits JACDEC etc. You have to pay to get a report on an airline. Is it calculated on fatalities? Incidents? After reading QF32 I have no qualms about flying Qantas. Sounds like more Qantas bashing
Comment 15 of 61
Daniel Dacey of Hobart Posted at 8:10 AM January 10, 2013
The current management see nothing of value in QANTAS's heritage, including its once proud safety record. With its sacking of its engineers, new culture of outsourcing everything and itis woefully poor executive management, I think its unfortunately only a matter of time before QANTAS has a major accident with a loss of life. That accident will be traced back to cost cutting and a profit over people approach by management., Simple truth is, just like the airports themselves the Government of the day should never ever of sold them. It was the beginning of the rot when they did.

I am suprised JAL & ANA did not make the list. Also Qantas tend to ignore that they merged with TAA & if anything it was really a case of TAA taking over Qantas and using their name. So saying Qantas is still a good airline and does not deserve the constant criticism it gets .
Comment 18 of 61
Frank of North QLD Posted at 8:21 AM January 10, 2013
Well its no big surprise, a tad confronting but not a shock. In my HO the CEO of quantas is not the most amiable of persons and his reputation is one of a general DH and arse. The out sourceing of most of the aircraft maintenance has shown to have an adverse public and buisnes impact and safety impact on Quantas's reputation. I think questions should be asked about why our iconic airline has fallen so far and how we can regain our standing again. If that means we have to remove a CEO or two and place Quantas under a a goverment monitored program that will ensure we regain our standing in air safety then so be it. Something has to be done before we start killing people.

Wayne of Brisbane Posted at 8:23 AM January 10, 2013
Many of these airlines mentioned in this articleare quite large with larger fleets, therefore more noticeable. There are many smaller international airlines with even better safety records flying to and from Australia, and Royal Brunei is one of them. Their flight attendants and pilots, (some pilots are actually Australian), are very switched on and very professional. I would not feel very comfortable with some Virgin cabin crew, (especially domestically), in an emergency, although it has got better in recent times with the hiring of more "mature age" flight attendants. But previously kids almost "just out of school" do not have the coping mechanisms to handle real emergencies, no matter what the training is.

Qantas has never had a crash-related fatality. That's good enough for me.

Thats what you get when you think paying millions to someone who ran a cheap Irish Airline and who is out to penny pinch is the way to success.

Jake Posted at 8:29 AM January 10, 2013
Never had a hull loss, that is correct. They have crashed before just google QF1 crash into singapore... They would rather rebuild an entire 747 (costing much more than just replacing the aircraft) than tarnish their safety record... However I am surprised about some of the airlines ahead of Qantas!!
Comment 24 of 61
Jennifer Quilter of Australia Posted at 8:33 AM January 10, 2013
Qantas was recognised as the safest airline for many years for 1 important reason,all aircraft maintenance was done in Australia to very strict & exacting standards,once aircraft maintenance was changed to overseas (probably to cut costs) thats when all their problems began & the airline has lost its excellent reputation & customer confidence.

johnny of tyne Posted at 8:36 AM January 10, 2013
bit more media bashing on the poor old Qantas. Did they crash? was QF32 their fault? Fair dinkum. surely Qantas is only pulled down by JETSTAR and Jetstar only kill their passengers through malnourishment and lack of space! oh and never being on time!
Comment 26 of 61
Homz Posted at 8:37 AM January 10, 2013
@John. Nice logic. Qantas should be higher rated because the Pilot's get more practice at mid-air disasters. I think judging might be based on the concept of prevention is better than cure.

Well what did Qantas expect? Staff redundancies, sending maintenance off shore, all to save money and bring in higher profits for the share holders and higher pay packets for the executives. It was bound to affect Qantas's reputation and reliability. Bring the maintenance back to Australia, regain the reputation of being the safest in the world and start cutting the fat starting at the over paid executives. There's a saving to start with.

when you send your maintenance off shore to facilities that have one licensed engineer signing off maintenance carried out by hundreds of unskilled workers..what do you expect?

well done to the Qantas chiefs you took our airline from number one to number god knows you have all earnt your millions of $$$$ each year by turning our airline into a disaster suppose when you sack everyone and take the jobs to second world countries you have to expect low standards now we know what happens when you put a irishman in charge of a international company it goes downhill real fast but well done on destroying Qantas,s credibility you certainly know what you are doing will be flying virgin australia everywhere i go at least they put people before profits

After reading Richard de Crespigny's account of what happened on QF32, I have absolutely no doubt that the safest airline to fly is Qantas.

I like how the failures keep on blaming everyone else apart from themselves. Qantas had a much better reputation in the past, especially when there was VASTLY INCREASED union activity. Also, how can I fly Qantas when other airlines offer the same service, up to $900 cheaper internationally. Get real, and get over yourselves.
Comment 38 of 61
Scott of Sydney Posted at 9:04 AM January 10, 2013
@aussie bob, the incidents of Qantas planes in the last few years have all been on the Aussie maintained planes. If Qantas want to be safer they really need to take the rest of the maintenance out of Australian hands. sad but true.
Comment 39 of 61
peter Posted at 9:04 AM January 10, 2013
Not shocked or surprised at all, Qantas have been cutting costs and maintenance for a long time, and this was the predictable result. If they still did proper maintenance here, likely the fault with the Rolls Royce engine that exploded would have been picked up BEFORE it happened.

big t Posted at 9:05 AM January 10, 2013
Aussie Bob u goose..Qantas had 3 big incidents prior to this study, remember hkg and the 2 scarebus incidents? if anything, getting rid of the employees has since improved their safety! remember when u say "highly qualified" u mean "overpaid". most of the qualifications to which u refer relate to assets and systems the airline don't even have anymore!

Martin of Melbourne Posted at 9:11 AM January 10, 2013
To those who think Qantas has not had a crash google Qantas QF1 Bangkok. Where a highly skilled crew managed to drive a 747 off the runway nearly destroying the aircraft. The ATSB report highlights a completly incompetent crew mishandled the approach then the cabin crew stuffed up the evacuation. To avoid the hull loss and thus save their official safety record Qantas paid for the most expensive aircraft repair in history since over taken by Emirates but won back by the repair of Qantas's A380. Qantas have also bent a Boeing 717 in Darwin which they are trying to hide under the mat to avoid a hull loss on their books. Then there is the A330 which nearly ran out of fuel having to do a full auto land on a runway not certified for this kind of landing. Qantas have been lucky to get away with all of this. Qantas the airline has had 12 fatal accidents in its entire history, air nz and Singapore, and BA have each had one. BAs only crash was a true aircraft defect which neither airline or crew could do anything about.

GN35 Posted at 9:14 AM January 10, 2013
Maybe the qantas fanboys should put their typical NZ prejudice/racism aside and let the experts analyse the stats. Then look at the real issue, why Qantas has become an airline of last resort, just above Jestar.
Comment 44 of 61
Martin of Melbourne Posted at 9:21 AM January 10, 2013
@frank p, Erebus claimed 237 lives. @john of Sydney, BA crew flew a 747 with no engines and safely landed I think that was a pretty amazing feat of flying skill, not to mention the crew who glided a 777 which had a mechanical failure to land and avoid deaths or major injuries.

Mark from London of Sydney Posted at 9:23 AM January 10, 2013
"JACDEC says their roster is "based on our annual safety calculations which include all hull loss accidents and serious incidents in the last 30 years of operations...." Emirates, Etihad, Eva Air, Hainan Airlines, Virgin Australia - haven't been around for the last 30 years (so have this list)??
Comment 46 of 61
Brad of Around the place Posted at 9:27 AM January 10, 2013
Ever since Qantas started offshoring their maintenance they have had more incidences than almost in their complete history of operating. Qantas was always my 1st choice of airline to fly until the offshoring and now I fly virgin as they do more of their maintenance in Australia than Qantas does.

Personally I will always fly QANTAS! Nothing better than seeing the big red roo when at an International airport. I always feel safe when on a Q flight, a lot less so with some of the other airlines I have travelled with, including some that are in the top ten of this list. Umm,, where is Singapore Airlines? And as for the mention of arrogance, I would rather be on a plane where they have confidence in their own ability than being unsure of themselves. Just a thought.
Comment 49 of 61
Mark of Brisbane Posted at 9:34 AM January 10, 2013
And expect the Unions to jump on this article and tell you it is because of the offshoring, etc. look at that list and find out how many of the news safest airlines offshore their maintenance. Qantas has had many serious incidents, lots of engine failure, all on aircraft maintained in Australia. Geoff Dixon was the worse thing ever. When he set up his oars meeti at an overseas destination to avoid shareholders you knew things were bad. His legacy must be fixed.

Photoemission studies of organic-thiol self-assembled monolayers on gold surfaces
CD Zangmeister, SW Robey, and RD van Zee, Chemical Science & Technology Laboratory, National Institute of Standards & Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, firstname.lastname@example.com
We have measured the photoemission spectra of organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) and polycrystalline, gold surfaces. Two classes of compounds were studied: n-alkane chains and oligomeric phenylene-ethynylenes. Single-photon spectra were recorded using a conventional ultraviolet (He I) light source, and single-color, two-photon photoemission spectra were recorded using a sub-picosecond, ultrafast laser. The peak positions and intensities in the spectra of n-alkane monolayers reflect electronic structure changes associated with chemisorption and changes in the structure of the SAM. Spectra of the oligomeric phenylene-ethynylenes were found to be similar to those of simple aromatic-thiol SAMs. The observed features in these spectra were assigned using He(I) polarization dependence and ab initio calculations of the isolated molecules.

Hair loss and stress: what is the connection?
Hair loss and stress: what is the connection?
Hair loss and stress: what is the connection?
The majority of hair loss in men is caused by male pattern baldness, but in women it is more often caused by the physical or hormonal changes that result from stress. Men can also suffer from stress-related hair loss, either in place of or in addition to hormonally-driven hair thinning.
What is stress?
Stress can take two forms: physical stress, and emotional stress. Physical stress can take the form of a major illness, an accident, an injury, childbirth, or a miscarriage, while emotional stress may be the death of a close friend or family member, divorce, money worries, or work-related stress. All can induce hair loss.
In many cases, because of the way that stress affects hair growth, stress-related hair loss may not be seen for several months after the stressful event, and the problem that caused it has often been resolved before the symptoms occur.
How does stress cause hair loss?
High levels of stress can change the functioning of the hair follicles, the physiology of the body and your own psychological behaviour, causing hair loss in one of three ways.These are now recognised stress-related hair loss syndromes:
- Telogen effluvium
- Alopecia areata
- Trichotillomania
Telogen effluvium as a cause of hair loss
Each hair root has a lifecycle comprising a growth stage, called anagen, which lasts for three to seven years, and a resting stage, called telogen, which lasts for around three months. Once the telogen stage begins, the old hair stops growing and sits in the follicle until it is pushed out by new hair growth as anagen resumes.
Under normal circumstances, around 15% of your hair is at some point of the telogen stage at any one time. This explains the loss of around 100 hairs a day as these follicles switch back to the anagen state.
During times of extreme stress, chemical changes within the body cause many follicles to move into the telogen stage simultaneously. This means that there is no new hair growth from these follicles and when they all move back into anagen at the same time there is a significant increase in hair loss due to old hair falling out. There is very little new growth to replace it, so the hair appears noticeably thinner. This also explains why there is typically a delay of about three months between the stressful event and the subsequent hair loss.
Alopecia areata as a cause of hair loss
Stress is also thought to be one of the trigger factors for alopecia areata. In this condition, the body's immune system malfunctions and white blood cells and anti-bodies, which normally provide the body's defences, begin to attack the body instead. When the body's own immune system attacks the hair follicles, hair growth slows or even stops, causing widespread hair loss and sometimes complete baldness.
Trichotillomania as a cause of hair loss
For some people, stress causes compulsive behaviour such as trichotillomania whereby people twist and pull at their own hair. This can range from mild twisting or 'playing' with their hair in stressful moments, to compulsively pulling out individual hairs or clumps of hair without being able to stop.
The phrase 'tearing your hair out' to denote a high stress situation suggests this behaviour has been around for a long time. Trichotillomania not only results in significant hair loss, but it can also cause lasting damage to the hair follicles and may kill them completely.
Is stress-related hair loss permanent?
The most common stress-related hair loss problem, telogen effluvium, has no lasting effect, and will generally right itself once the stress is dealt with. As discussed above, the hair loss from stress may not manifest itself until around three months after the stressful event, but as long as the issue has been resolved, normal hair growth will begin again at this point and the hair will grow back more or less normally.
In cases of alopecia areata and trichotillomania, the stress may cause longer lasting damage to the hair follicles, resulting in permanent hair loss and bald patches, or complete hair loss in very severe cases.
Due to the nature of stress-related hair loss, it is unlikely that hair transplant therapies or hair restoration medication will have any beneficial effect, but your GP or hair specialist will be able to give you a clearer idea as to whether any hair restoration treatment may help.
How to avoid stress-related hair loss
There is little that can be done to avoid the acute stress of a traumatic event, such as a bereavement, accident, or illness. However, the nature of these events means that the associated high stress levels will generally be short-lived and will not have a lasting effect on hair loss.
Chronic stress, such as financial problems, work issues, or relationship issues, can have a much longer effect and so it is important to take steps to reduce your stress levels whenever possible. This will not only reduce hair loss, but it will also benefit your general health.
There are many ways you can reduce stress in your daily life, including:
- Take time out – try to put your problems aside for a while and focus on something else, such as going to the cinema or chatting with friends
- Do some exercise – the natural endorphins released during exercise can be hugely beneficial in reducing stress levels
- Relax a little – put your feet up and switch off whenever you can. Just half an hour a day of relaxation can have significant benefits.
- Have some fun – laughter is a great remedy and can help you put things in perspective
- Seek professional help – there are lots of ways that you can get help, from practical advice, such as sorting out your finances, to counselling and therapy to help you cope with stress more effectively

Bagna Cauda
In Piedmont, eating bagna cauda (sometimes caoda) is a fall and winter ritual, commonly accompanied with a fresh, young Barbera wine. The name means "hot bath," and the dish is so-called because the mixture of garlic and anchovies is traditionally kept warm in a chafing dish or fondue pot. Bagna cauda is served with small pieces of assorted vegetables for dipping and crusty bread to catch the drips. Among the possible vegetables are raw Jerusalem artichokes, cardoons, bell peppers, carrots, spinach, green onions or celery; cooked potatoes; roasted onions or beets; and blanched cauliflower or broccoli. Some cooks prefer to simmer the garlic first in a little milk to tame the flavor. The cloves are then mashed to a paste and mixed with the anchovies, olive oil and butter.

The Tijuca Masjid or the Mesquita da Luz is the main Masjid in Rio de Janeiro. The Masjid is home to the Beneficent Muslim Society. The Masjid not only serves as a place of worship but also as a community centre for the Muslim community to meet and share their knowledge. The Muslim population in the city is diverse and comprises of Muslims from Morocco, Pakistan, India and Egypt.
The main attraction of Rio is its beaches. There are some beaches that do not allow bathing whereas others are safe for bathing. However, it is important to note that the beach culture in the city is quite open. If you want a break from the beach culture spend some time at the Centro. The prime sight is the Praca 15 de Novembro Square, here is where you can see the Imperial Palace and other grand buildings. The National History Museum is another wonderful attraction in the Centro.
The Corcovado Mountain is home to the most distinct feature of Rio de Janeiro, the Cristo Redentor statue. Visitors can reach the site easily by the historic train that takes you through a steep track directly to the station below the summit. The Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon is a huge space in the centre of Rio and offers amazing views of the skyline of Ipanema and the Corcovado Mountain. The Sugar Loaf Mountain too is good to visit.
The Brazilian fashion has gained a lot of popularity across the world. From shopping malls to street markets there are several wonderful places to shop in Rio. The Rua Visconde de Piraja, Avenida Ataulfo de Paiva, Ipanema, and Leblon are the best places to shop in the city. Apart from clothes the city also has some good bookstores. The Fiera Hippie, Praca General Osorio and Ipanema markets are the best to find local handicrafts. Visitors can find some good shopping malls in the southern part of the city.

Kids Camping Takes the Challenge! :Use healthy messages to make the camp experience AWE-some!
|Dear diary, I just got home from camp and I feel so good about myself! I met so many new friends, had fun swimming, singing camp songs around the campfire, and making cool crafts. But, this year, camp was different, even better than most summers. This year at camp I took the Challenge!
Camping EVEN BETTER than most summers? What was this young camper referring to? This story begins with Carrie Schroyer, director of Chalk Hills Camp, a camp of the Fox River Area Girl Scout Council, located one hundred ten miles north of Appleton, Wisconsin, on the Menominee River. Chalk Hills Camp prides itself in offering a variety of camping experiences for the campers, ranging from the introductory program for day campers, to specialty sessions featuring science, theatre, art, or adventure camping, to a very specialized wilderness trip program. "We try to offer a progression in all our programming so girls will come back year after year and continue to be challenged each summer," explains Schroyer. The beautiful habitat that nature offers this campsite, combined with the dedicated staff, some forty members strong, offers an outstanding camp experience for Girl Scouts. So what kind of improvements was Chalk Hills Camp seeking?
Let's begin with an entry from my journal. I'm Vickie L. James, a registered dietitian and the national director of Healthy Kids Challenge (HRC), a school- and community-based health initiative that has as its mission to provide an adaptable school/community approach to educate, motivate, and link kids and adults (KidLinks) to make healthy living a habit.
"Today I received an e-mail from a Girl Scout camp director wanting to know if Healthy Kids Challenge could go to camp. I was reminded of the HKC philosophy of taking healthy messages not only to schools, but everywhere kids live, learn, and play. What a great place to increase opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity, the camp experience! I know it's time to take Healthy Kids Challenge to camp!"
What is Healthy Kids Challenge and what is our match to kids camping? Healthy Kids Challenge is a nonprofit foundation that assists elementary schools and programs with increasing healthy eating and activity opportunities for kids and their families. We have developed an award-winning program with our KidLink concept that focuses not only on healthy messaging for kids, but, also for all who are connected with kids. Healthy Kids Challenge, created by Cooking Light in 1998, developed from a one-week, one-school trial in 1998-99, to a four-school pilot in 1999-2000, to over 600 schools/programs on board at the end of school year 2000-2001. Today over 700 schools/programs in thirty-three states, Australia, Japan, British Columbia, and Canada, are now Taking the Challenge.
Healthy Kids Challenge revolves around two primary concepts.
- Healthy change is led by a KidLink team — KidLinks is a leadership team of people who connect with kids and have the opportunity to influence choices that kids make with eating and activity. Key KidLinks include school administrators, teachers, school meal staff, families, community partners, and kids themselves.
- Make the healthy changes AWE-some Change — Healthy Kids Challenge helps link kids, schools, families, and communities for what we call AWE-some C.H.A.N.G.E!
A Appealing and fun W Welcome and inviting E Easy and simple C Connect H Health A And N Needs G Get E Excited
That's where kids camping entered the Healthy Kids Challenge picture. Education of the child does not stop at the classroom door, but extends itself from school, to the home, and out into the community. After-school programs, intramurals, youth organizations, and yes, kids camps are jumping on the bandwagon, along with schools!
Read now from yet a third journal entry, that of Chalk Hills Camp director, Carrie Schroyer: "For several years now, one of our goals at camp has been to help girls feel more comfortable with who they are and how they look. We have challenged our staff to celebrate their own uniqueness, and to role model that satisfaction. 'Fat talk' is not allowed at our camp. After two years of no fat talk, it's time to step up and do even more to promote a healthy image! The Healthy Kids Challenge information appeared on the Web site and my wheels are turning!"
Through much long-distance correspondence, Healthy Kids Challenge was able to do a thorough review of the existing menus, snacks, activities, and classes offered at Chalk Hills Camp. Goals were set for healthy change for the campers, and for leadership provided during the camp experience.
Take the Challenge goals set for campers included:
- Have fun.
- Feel good about yourself.
- Enjoy the meals and snacks.
- Learn how to make healthy choices and create healthy habits.
- Increase opportunities to practice healthy choices at camp.
Take the Challenge goals for leadership included:
- Serve as role models for the campers.
- Develop ownership for the healthy Challenge.
- Develop a personal wellness plan.
- Feel good about yourself and the campers.
- Be motivated to develop and implement healthy messages through the camp experience.
- Enjoy meals and snacks.
- Offer feedback regarding camp changes.
- Have fun.
What kinds of healthy change recommendations were made and what were the outcomes at Chalk Hills Camp? We started with the menu, where the focus in the past had been on cost savings, and ease of preparation, not healthy choices, variety, or balance. Soon, a two-week menu cycle evolved, with over sixty new healthy menu choices added, many being kid friendly versions of Cooking Light recipes — tasty, yet lighter in fat and sodium content than many existing camp recipes. Low fat ground turkey was substituted for part of the ground beef in main dish recipes; skim milk was offered instead of whole or 2 percent; more fresh fruits and veggies were added to the menu by adding a salad bar; and milk and water were substituted as the beverages of choice at meals instead of sugar-flavored drinks.
The menu challenges? The greatest challenge was young, very young, inexperienced cooks, with limited food purchasing, meal planning, or quantity food preparation skills. Making sure the food needed was on hand, planning time for all the necessary meal preparations, and then making sure the recipes were calculated to serve the correct number created new challenges in this kitchen. What was the key to successful healthy changes? Healthy Kids Challenge assistant director, Claudia Hohnbaum, M.A., R.D., L.D., and two Kansas State University dietetic students spent time at Chalk Hills Camp doing staff in-service that first week of camp. Read this journal entry, from the lead HKC trainer for the camp, Claudia Hohnbaum. "We started blazing new trails right away. From rolling up our sleeves to helping in the kitchen to encouraging the cook staff and helping the camp staff feel that they could lead the way to healthy change for the girls, this was the beginning of a big, but promising Challenge!" The success story is that the overall food budget for the camp was maintained while campers and staff alike shouted "yummy" and "awesome" to menu changes! While healthy, delicious entrees, such as Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Potatoes and Barbecue Pizza Bites filled the stomachs of hungry campers and put smiles on their faces, hard work and the positive attitude of the young cook staff was the true key to the successful menu revamping.
The challenges didn't just stop with the menu cycle. Since snacks are a big part of the caloric intake of the camper, these too saw changes. Healthier choices, such as popcorn, raisins, cheese and crackers, and juice were added to the high sugar candy and soda options. This kept with the HKC philosophy that all foods can fit in a balanced Food Guide Pyramid. Frequency, portion sizes, and food/beverage choices were the lessons learned with snacking at camp.
One of the discoveries made with the HKC recommendations for healthy camp changes was that there were not as many physical activity opportunities at camp as most assume they would find with a camp experience. Schedules, time to get from one place to another, time spent with rules and directions, and many program activities not incorporating physical activity or movement were found to be the primary reasons for this. Without totally revamping the program schedule, how could more activity and movement be added to the schedule? More physical activity options were added during "me-time" such as movement activities at meal time, and the Trail to Good Health, a fitness/health trail, located in the center of camp where campers were encouraged to follow the trail to help build health-related awareness.
Following are a few of the Healthy Kids Challenge changes incorporated at Chalk Hills Camp this past summer:
- Wellness Bulletin Board — A bulletin board dedicated to fun, healthy, eye-catching tips, ideas, and information. Located in the dining hall, often with camper healthy trivia quizzes.
- Me-Times — More physical activity options offered during free time, focusing on fun and movement, not exercise as a goal.
- Activity Challenge — Campers kept track of their activity on Challenge worksheets and were rewarded with wellness beads that signified the various levels of wellness they participated in including swimming, hiking, biking, and fun group game activities.
- Chef Nutricia — Chef Nutricia visited camp meals to give campers health and nutrition tips in an entertaining, fun, and educational manner!
- All-Camp Activities — Station activities for the entire camp that included physical activity and movement fun, as well as healthy eating and wellness trivia, tips, and weekly camp themes messages.
- Take the Challenge Chain — Campers and staff made anonymous personal health goals. These were written on colorful strips of paper and strung together as a paper chain in the dining hall throughout the summer. Staff was encouraged to initiate discussion about the goals to encourage healthy choices becoming healthy habits.
What have been the lessons learned at Chalk Hills Camp in undertaking such bold, new steps for healthy camping for kids?
- Small, simple, easy-to-implement steps for change are important so the process is not too overwhelming.
- Staff in-service education and ownership is key to positive role modeling of healthy change.
- Training of food service staff is essential when going from convenience, prepared items to requiring more knowledge of menu planning, ordering, and quantity meal preparation.
- Building in support, recognition, and celebration of staff accomplishments makes change a "want to do."
- Promoting healthy change to the families as well as the campers is a good way to link the camp experience to the home.
- Kids will support healthy changes in their routine, including healthy eating, and physical activity if provided with the awareness, knowledge, choices, and decisions to do so.
And, a final diary entry from Schroyer, as she packs away the last camp belongings and prepares to go on a well-deserved vacation. "This first summer has been such a positive experience for all who attended Chalk Hills Camp and experienced the Healthy Kids Challenge. I really look forward to continuing the program next summer and making it even bigger and better. We appreciate the assistance, support, and encouragement provided by Healthy Kids Challenge. Staff noticed a definite difference in energy level, and job performance was top notch! Girls and staff both definitely benefited!"
A final journal entry from a young camper reads as follows: "I've learned to try new foods, found more ways to move and have fun with activity, and really, I just feel good about me!"
Healthy Kids Challenge wants to acknowledge the difference Chalk Hills Camp has made for kids in camping, and we challenge camps everywhere across the nation to Take the Challenge! Make a great camp experience AWE-some!

Penn President Amy Gutmann announced today new student research, travel, and educational opportunities to be funded by the Carnegie Corporation's Academic Leadership Award, which Gutmann received last fall. As part of the Carnegie Award funds, Penn's Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (CURF) will receive support to expand the existing summer research experience for undergraduates. The new support builds on CURF's Penn Undergraduate Research Mentoring program, which currently provides summer support to students after their freshman year to conduct research in close collaboration with a faculty member. The new program will provide support for a similar program to take place after student's sophomore undergraduate year.
"Increasing support for undergraduate research is an important educational priority," said Gutmann. "We are especially enthusiastic about increasing support for rising juniors since that is the time when many students focus their academic passions and develop a stronger interest in research."
Faculty interested in listing a project intended for a rising junior can find more information and instructions here; submissions are due no later than Sunday, February 21, 2010. Faculty interested in listing a project intended for a rising sophomore can find more information and instructions here. Please note that projects can be listed for either or both class years, as the individual faculty member sees fit.
In addition, Gutmann has indicated that a smaller portion of the award will be used to support internship opportunities for Penn students at the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical issues in Washington. President Gutmann was appointed chair of the commission by U.S. President Barack Obama last November. The details of that program will be announced once the Commission formally begins its work later this year.
The Carnegie Academic Leadership Award recognizes presidents and chancellors who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in undergraduate education, both teaching and research; the development of major interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary undergraduate and graduate programs that aim to bridge the gulf between the theoretical and the practical; focused university outreach to their local communities and cooperative efforts with business, education and civic leaders on initiatives such as K-12 school reform; and the expansion and improvement of international initiatives and global engagement. The Carnegie Corporation Board of Trustees honors the awardees with grants of $500,000 each to be used at the leader's discretion toward his or her academic priorities at their institutions.
Penn was recognized for the progress made in implementing the Penn Compact, the strategic vision that Gutmann unveiled in 2004 during her inaugural address. The Compact has increased access and financial aid programs for students, attracted interdisciplinary teacher-scholars to the Penn campus, and expanded teaching, research and professional activities across Philadelphia and around the world.

They had Texas Mountain Laurels (trees) for at least $30 lower than 3 other nurseries, and I got a cool story about their 30 year old Laurel by the front door.

Are you worry for some of these issues?:
- The quality of the food you buy in the grocery store ( I mean pesticides or GMO),
- Hormones and antibiotics contained in cultivated fish or heavy metals in sea fish. (read more…)
- The origin of the food; you would like to consume locally.
- Your community needs some projects for self-sufficiency.
- You have a limited space for growing food.
Don't worry anymore, aquaponic gardening is the choice. Aquaponics appears like the easiest and sustainable way to produce fresh vegetables and fruits and, at the same time, to raise freshwater fish (and some others aquatic creatures).
Click Here if you want to start with the easiest "step by step" plan
With an Aquaponic System, you'll be recreating the same process you found in a pond: fish will thrive in the closed freshwater system and produce the nutrients needed by plants. On the other hand, the plants will benefit from the waste products produced by the fish. As the plants feed on the nutritious soup within the system, the plants filter and clean the water, too.
Creating an aquaponics project in your garden, even just in an urban setting, has turn out to be a growing movement among households interested in self sufficiency, natural and organic living and who see the wisdom of saving money though supplying their own balanced nutritious and free of toxic meals"
In fact many aquaponic enthusiasts in several countries, have already experienced great success with creating sustainable aquaponic systems that regularly produce organic vegetables and tasty, freshwater fish -and other marine creatures-, in its two approaches: commercial farms or at home spaces.
Demystifying Aquaponics
Aquaponics is usually defined as a hybrid of two existing methods: aquaculture and hydroponics.
Aquaculture is the process of raising fish in closed systems. Hydroponics, on the other hand, endeavors to produce fresh fruits and vegetables using water alone.
It's easy for a lot of people define Aquaponics as the result of combine these two older systems, but in my opinion Aquaponics is something different from hydroponics and the only point where they converge is they don't use soil to make grow plants.
Hydroponics is a system for growing plants under highly optimized, frequently sterile, conditions. Aquaponics loves bacteria. Its maximum goal is creates a balanced ecosystem in which various living creatures, bacteria, fish, plants and inclusive worms, interact to create a beautiful symbiotic whole.
A Flexible System
Aquaponic systems are naturally flexible systems. A small aquaponic system can produce up to fifty kilograms of fresh fish every six months… and tons of organic vegetables.
If you want to sell organic vegetables, fruits, and fish, you can expand your operation to produce a higher target harvest. Of course, you'll need more space and a more powerful water pumping system, but these are just one-time requirements of the system.
Once you have the expanded system in place, that's it. All you have to do at that point in time is to maintain the system so all your plants and fish grow well. An abundant harvest from an aquaponics system means that the system is clean and enough attention has been given to it on a day-to-day basis.
A Plenty of Reasons to Undertake a Sustainable Aquaponics Project in your Home
Aquaponic gardening is a sustainable activity to produce food in your home. Some of the main reasons that support such a decision are:
- Aquaponics needs less than 3% of water used in traditional agriculture. This is a major advantage that directly helps the big problem of water shortage in the world. In Africa for example, where water is not enough for agricultural activities, aquaponic gardening gives every family the opportunity to survive producing their own food. Even in America water shortage is caused in high percentage by irrigation in agriculture.
- Indirectly, aquaponics supports reducing meat in your daily diet to replace it with fish protein you are raising. A typical beef burger can take 630 liters of water to produce. (Learn more about the water embedded in your food with National Geographic's "The Hidden Water We Use" interactive.)
- Is purely organic. Any chemicals that may be placed on the plants will only harm the fish when the water is recirculated. This in turn also applies to any Hormones or steroids that a fish farmer may want to feed the fish, affecting the plants. Is important to note here that since aquaponics is a symbiotic and balanced ecosystem health is its ordinary status. More info about the fish you already eat here.
- Aquaponics also reduces the need for cropland diminishing the environmental footprint of crop production.
- This closed system greatly enhances the growth time of the plants. Growing times cut in half, sweeter more lush vegetables are grown with a fraction the cost and space that traditional farmers undertake.
- Organic fish feeds can also be used. With a small bit of effort you can grow food for your fish through vermiculture. By harvesting your own worms or grubs you can be assured that the fish you produce are the most healthful around. Thus the vegetables and fruits you grow will be as well.
- Aquaponics is a beautiful educational program for the kids. They learn how life thrive by engaging in the farming activities like feed the fish and observing any change within the environment.
So remember: Anyone can start their own aquaponic system. If you have the determination to give your family the best food you can find, Aquaponics is definitely right for you!

MS Volleyball: Lee three-peats as league champions
From Staff Reports
Monday's volleyball championship between Lee and Madras to close the 2012 season might just go down as the most dramatic finishes in the 15-year history of the Coweta County Middle School Athletic League.
In the end, Lee Middle School prevailed in a five-set thriller, beating Madras (25-20, 23-25, 23-25, 26-24, 15-10) to win its third straight under coach Robert Doyal.
After posting the lone win over Lee during that period, Madras (9-3) nearly pulled off an even bigger stunner in the tournament final at Arnall Middle School under the guidance of Eagles coaches Kelly Benton and Kayla Floyd.
Madras held match point at 24-20 after winning two of Monday's opening three games before Lee rallied with six straight to force a deciding game in the best-of-five championship.
In the last set, the two teams took turn trading points before Lee pulled away from an 8-all tie to outscore Madras 7-2 down the stretch en route to the county title.
Middle hitter Riley Padgett led all players with 30 kills and nine aces including the final five kills of the crucial fourth set to lead the Timberwolves six-point rally.
Madras' Kara Groover finished with eight aces and sister Karlee led the Eagles with eight kills. Olivia Masonheimer added five kills and three aces.
The Timberwolves were paced by setter Bailey Swindell's career-high 33 assists while also adding two blocks and seven kills in the victory. Lindsey Dorson led Lee with 17 digs and served the final six points of the fourth-set comeback. Payton Bell, Lindsey Dorson and Kami Keller each finished with four aces.
It was the fourth consecutive finals appearance for Lee under Doyal.

Overall satisfaction:
Lisa S from Fort Myers, FL recommends this vacation rental
We loved being so close to Duval Street right near all the bars, but still a far enough walk that it wasn't too loud at the house! We do wish the pool was a little closer since it was SO hot outside, but definitely grateful for a pool to use at all! We
very much enjoyed our stay.

Janet G from Denver City, TX recommends this vacation rental
We planned a getaway to Key West for my son's graduation. The rooms were just as pictured and the properties were in a great location. We walked almost everywhere and enjoyed great excursions and wonderful seafood meals. The pool was a great escape from
the heat.
The properties were very clean and just wish we had access to the washer and dryer after we went to the beach one day. Our clothes didn't smell great but the appliances were never unlocked while we were at the properties.
We did have a defective mattress on a sofa bed and after I contacted the office, we had a new one ASAP.
We arrived early and the management kindly took us to a nearby restaurant and even moved (by a truck) all of our 33 pieces of luggage for us. Great service!
Juanita and her family had an awesome time!!!

a guest from Charlotte, North Carolina recommends this vacation rental
A group of 7 of us stayed in this property for a Thursday - Sunday long weekend. There was 7 guys in there, which I would say would be the max you'd probably want to put in this place, versus the 10 it says it will hold. If you're coming down with couples
I'm sure 10 would be fine though.
The rental company was great, check-in after hours was easily described and easy to follow since we arrived after 6:00.
The location was PERFECT for what we were looking for, no more than a 5-10 minute walk to be in the middle of all the bars on Duval.
Definitely a great property to rent if you're on a budget, but you get a lot in the price you're paying. The pictures do a good job of showing what you're getting so there's no surprises when you arrive.
Would've liked for the pool to be a little closer to us, but still having access to it was worth the walk.
a guest from Tyrone, Pennsylvania recommends this vacation rental
Went down to Key West with 9 people total. We rented all three units. Each was perfect, beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. Short walk to all the attractions on Duval Street. Would definitely recommend it and would stay again.
