Baja Fresh has been serving "fresh, fast" Mexican meals since 1990, and with 19 locations in Washington it definitely deserves a spot in our Lunch Break series. We asked registered dietitian Sonja Goedkoop to see if the menu really lets you "eat well" and "live fresh," as the tagline promises.
"The menu is what I'd generally expect from this type of place--some items are horrible, and some are better," Goedkoop says. "There are lots of healthy options, too, with healthy ways to mix and match."
Take a look what our expert had to say about the great and not-so-great options at Baja Fresh.
• Worst--Steak nacho burrito: Weighing in at 1,347 calories, 50 grams of fat, and a stunning 3,224 milligrams of sodium, this is a meal no one should eat. "It's pretty concerning," Goedkoop says. "I think when people go out to eat and don't pay attention, it's easy to turn a blind eye to an option like this."
• Better--Skinny chicken bowl: This bowl packs 624 calories (151 of them from fat) and 1,608 milligrams of sodium, but it has a few good things going for it, too. "Overall it's a good choice. It has great fiber, plus black beans and veggies for good nutrients, but it's still really high in total fat and sodium," our expert says. "The name tells you something about the meal, but you still have to be cautious. Even if something says 'skinny' or 'light,' that's not always the full picture."
• Best--Grilled wahoo bare burrito: This tortilla-free burrito includes simple, fresh ingredients such as onions, cilantro, salsa verde, and, of course, wahoo, a good steak fish. Goedkoop singles out this bowl for its 589 calories, 6 grams of fat, 33 grams of protein, and 21 grams of fiber, despite its whopping 2,049 milligrams of sodium. "All the other aspects still make it a good choice for a meal. The fiber helps you feel full, the fish is a good source of protein and nutrients, and the fact that it's grilled, not fried, helps lower the fat," she explains.
• Worst--Steak Americano soft taco: One taco is 260 calories, 640 milligrams of sodium, and 40 milligrams of cholesterol. "Compared with what we were just looking at, it's a lot less than the burritos, but this is just for one taco and most people don't eat just one taco," our expert says. She also points out that the Americano tacos are made with flour tortillas and cheese, which pile on calories and cholesterol.
• Best--Shrimp original Baja taco: "Shrimp is a great choice, since it has more nutrition than other meats," our expert says. "It has omega-3s--though not as much as other seafoods--and it cooks quickly to avoid the smoke and charring aspect, which adds unhealthy substances to animal proteins." One 200-calorie taco has 11 grams of protein and just 280 milligrams of sodium. You could easily have three and still be in the clear.
• Worst--Nachos: Anything that has the word "smothered" in the description is probably not the healthiest choice--especially if it's cheese doing most of the smothering. The regular nachos start at 945 calories, and you can order them grande. Goedkoop says, "You'd need to be sharing this with a lot of people to make it okay."
• Best--Fajitas: "They're lower in calories and fat, and they come on corn tortillas instead of flour," she explains (though you do have the option to choose your tortilla type). All the fajitas are still pretty high in sodium, so don't get too complacent.
BONUS--Best Salad
• Shrimp Baja Ensalada: It's a snackworthy 230 calories, but packs 28 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber to keep you satiated. "This salad would be a great meal. The Baja salads all look great, especially if you limit your dressing," Goedkoop says.
Final tips:
While Baja Fresh serves trans-fat-free fresh meals using decent ingredients and toppings (wahoo, tomatillo salsa, and house-made guacamole, for example), its menu carries some nutritional hazards. The food is generally high in sodium, as with many lunch spots, including eateries like Baja Fresh that don't use processed foods.
Stick to corn tortillas instead of flour, or avoid them entirely if you can--ordering any of the burritos "bare" (the tortilla-free option) automatically cuts 350 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 540 milligrams of sodium. Don't eat burritos "enchilada style," which again means smothered in salsa and cheese, adding 630 calories, 19 grams of saturated fat, and 1,450 grams of sodium.
Additionally, steer clear of the kids' menu--with its options all in the 600-calorie range and upward of 900 milligrams of sodium, it's simply not nutritionally sound for tinier tummies; try two original Baja tacos instead. Finally, avoid the cheeses, creamy dressings, and sour cream: "Small amounts can make a big difference in your overall intakes," Goedkoop says.
Sonja Goedkoop is the research program coordinator for the Eat Right, Live Well! Supermarket Intervention Study at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

SAMUI PADDLE BOARD center in thailand propose Stand Up Paddle Board activities on the island of KOH SAMUI
Are you surprised by the popularity in stand up paddle boards (SUP)?
A little big of history is that these boards were used by a lot by surf instructors in the 40's and 50's to take pictures of their students on them.
During this timeis when the popularity of the stand up paddle board blew up. You can even see pro surfers like Laird Hamilton still usingthe SUP just for fun.
Stand up paddle boarding remains a popular way to have fun in the water because unlike other paddle boarding methods, you don't need big waves
to use one. You can use them in lakes and rivers just as well as in the ocean. They are still great surfing training tools as well. The novice can continue to enjoy the water along with their surfing buddies.
One size does not fit all with a paddle board. Just like when picking out a surfboard it comes down to your exprience level. Wider boards suit the beginner while thinner boards may work well for the experienced surfer. The same holds true for the length of the board. A shorter length can provide more stability while a longer length is better for paddling and gliding.
Overall, I say for beginners and training purposes, stick to a wider board with a good length to provide stability. Most of all, have fun with stand up paddle boards. Their popularity won't be fading any time soon!

When a man named Lewis rents a vacation house on Long Island for a few days, he doesn't expect to end up on a crazy circus train ride to nowhere. His one night in the house, he burns it down. Then he meets charismatic Joseph Dillon, manager of the Circus of the Grand Design. Knowing he needs to leave the area in a hurry, Lewis agrees to join the circus as a publicist, despite Dillon's warning that he might not be able to return to the place he began. The circus's private train travels an infinite dream-loop to unknown lands, and Lewis becomes lost amongst crazy acrobats, sexy elephant riders, a magical mechanical horse, a giant woman and her savage, prehistoric rodent bears, an egotistical juggler, and...a fertility goddess who takes exceptional interest in him. The train, its residents, and the places they visit form a complex puzzle that Lewis feels compelled to solve.

Blah Blah Blah (Iggy Pop album)
|Studio album by Iggy Pop
|October 23, 1986
|Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland
|Iggy Pop chronology
|Singles from Blah-Blah-Blah
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
|Robert Christgau
Blah-Blah-Blah is an album by Iggy Pop. Released on A&M in 1986, it became his most commercially successful album to date. Blah-Blah-Blah appeared after a four-year hiatus for Pop, with David Bowie serving as his prime collaborator. A successful tour followed the album's release.
The collection included a cover of Johnny O'Keefe's "Wild One" (here titled "Real Wild Child (Wild One)" and three original songs co-written with ex-Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. The remaining tracks were co-written by Bowie, who also produced the album with David Richards but, unlike his previous work with Pop, The Idiot and Lust for Life (both 1977), did not sing or play any instruments. Bowie biographer David Buckley has reported that Pop "virtually disowned" the record, calling it "a Bowie album in all but name".[7] It has never been specified what tracks on the album, if any, originated during the sessions of Bowie's 1984 album Tonight (that album's co-producer, Hugh Padgham, has recalled that Bowie and Pop collaborated on some songs that Bowie ultimately rejected for inclusion on Tonight).[citation needed]
Release and reception[edit]
Described by Allmusic as "the most calculatedly commercial album of Iggy's career",[8] Blah-Blah-Blah was certified gold in Canada (more than 50,000 copies sold) and reached top ten status in many European countries. In the U.S. it peaked at #75 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart.[9] Rolling Stone's contemporary review complained of a "nagging homogeneity to side one" but continued that "even at its most familiar, Blah-Blah-Blah is as spiritually outraged and emotionally direct as commercial pop gets these days".[10]
"Real Wild Child" reached #27 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts and became Pop's first top ten hit in the UK.[11] The song was featured on the soundtrack for the 1990 film Pretty Woman, also Problem Child 1 and 2, and has been the theme song of the Australian TV music program rage since 1987. Other singles and videos from the album included "Cry For Love," "Isolation" and "Shades". "Cry For Love", described by Rolling Stone as "a ripping fusion of classic Iggy rage, Bowie cabaret and unexpected romantic vulnerability",[10] made #19 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music chart and #34 on the Mainstream Rock charts.[11]

Steering wheels: sure, they're fun and functional, but why do they have to be so opaque? It's like you can't see through them at all! Our friends at CTA Digital -- purveyors of such fine gaming peripherals as the Wii bowling ball and the Nintendo DS/DSi Puppet Pouch -- are thinking outside that particular box with the aptly named Transparent Steering Wheel. Looking like something pulled from the wreckage of Wonder Woman's invisible plane, the TSW is nothing more than a transparent (well, translucent if we're being nitpicky) piece of plastic shaped like a steering wheel, which promises more precise driving on the Kinect racetrack. The company's apparently still perfecting the clear-plastic technology, which will ship June 5th, setting you back $12.99.

although an older scent, it is very nice.
it is romantic, and pretty, and clean, and sensual.
It is easy to buy the newest trendiest scent, and some scents stick around long enough to be classics (Chanel #5 ) this is better than most new comers, and if Gucci, wanted this base scent could be a classic, it is THAT good.
I bought this for my sister, but wish I could of given it to a girl from my past, the love of my life. I wish I could give her everything nice.

too expensive
The only great about it is package. I believe that no one should choose perfume only for the originality of its package.

Hanley Has Sights Set on Tackling Old Friends
Byline: JACKIE CAHILL
BRIAN HANLEY thought he was the victim of a practical joke when he was asked to take charge of the Westmeath senior hurlers in April.
The Athenry man, who won three All-Ireland club crowns and seven county titles in a glittering career, was contacted by Westmeath hurling board chairman Willie Murphy following Kevin Martin's acrimonious departure.
Former Offaly star Martin lashed the commitment of some Westmeath's hurlers before vacating the post, accusing them of 'lacking motivation and pride in representing their county.' But in a few short weeks, Hanley has transformed the fortunes of a team that lost all seven of their games in Division 2 of this year's Allianz League.
And the Lake County upset the odds at Dr Cullen Park 10 days ago by scoring a famous victory against Carlow in the Leinster championship.
The reward is a tilt at Galway in Mullingar next Saturday and it's a tie that brings Hanley in direct opposition with a host of familiar faces.
During his time as Galway Under 21 selector in 2009 and 2010, 37-year-old Hanley worked with household names like Joe Canning, James Skehill, Barry Daly and David Burke.
And as the current manager of Galway club side Liam Mellows, he sees David Collins, Aonghus Callanan and John Lee up close and personal on a regular basis.
After hanging up his boots, Hanley was straight into management with Kilconieron in Galway, guiding them to successive county intermediate hurling semi-finals, with the club unfortunate to lose out to the eventual winners on both occasions.
Liam Spellman was the contact in Kilconieron before Gordon Crowley from Liam Mellows got in touch.
Next Saturday evening, Spellman and Crowley are two of the men on statistics duty for Hanley, along with John Coll from Athenry.
Galway in the Leinster SHC quarter-final represents Hanley's biggest management test to date -- and it's one that he could never have envisaged in his wildest dreams two months ago.
He revealed: 'Willie Murphy rang me and I wasn't sure if he was serious. …

|Crossbreeding effects on milk yield traits and calving interval in spring-calving dairy cows.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20646117 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|The aim of the study was to assess crossbreeding effects for 305-day milk, fat, and protein yield and calving interval (CI) in Irish dairy cows (parities 1 to 5) calving in the spring from 2002 to 2006. Data included 188,927 records for production traits and 157,117 records for CI. The proportion of genes from North American Holstein Friesian (HO), Friesian (FR), Jersey (JE) and Montbéliarde (MO) breeds, and coefficients of expected heterosis for HOxFR, HOxJE and HOxMO crosses were calculated from the breed composition of cows' parents. The model used to assess crossbreeding effects accounted for contemporary group, age at calving within parity, linear regression on gene proportions for FR, JE and MO, and linear regression on coefficients of expected heterosis for HOxFR, HOxJE and HOxMO, as fixed effects, and additive genetic, permanent environmental and residual as random. Breed effects for production traits were in favour of HO, while for CI were in favour of breeds other than HO. The highest heterosis estimates for production were for HOxJE, with first-generation crosses yielding 477 kg more milk, 25.3 kg more fat, and 17.4 kg more protein than the average of the parental breeds. The highest estimate for CI was for HOxMO, with first-generation crosses showing 10.2 days less CI than the average of the parental breeds. Results from this study indicate breed differences and specific heterosis effects for milk yield traits and fertility exist in Irish dairy population.

NAS - Nonindigenous Aquatic Species
Distinguishing characteristics were given in Berg (1949), Shireman and Smith (1983), and Page and Burr (1991). Keys that include this species and photographs or illustrations were provided in most of the more recently published state and regional fish books (e.g., Robison and Buchanan 1988; Etnier and Starnes 1993; Jenkins and Burkhead 1994; Pflieger 1997).
Ctenopharyngodon idella has a high probability of introduction to the Great Lakes (Confidence level: High). Potential pathway(s) of introduction: Dispersal, unauthorized release, unauthorized stocking, escape from commercial culture.
There have been recorded catches of the grass carp in Lake Michigan, Huron, and Erie (Rixon et al. 2005) and grass carp has been found isolated in Lake Erie, Huron, and Ontario (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2008b).
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York all allow triploid grass carp to be stocked. While triploid grass carp are presumed to be non-reproductive, the potential exists for stock to be contaminated with individuals capable of reproduction. Although prohibited in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, illegally stocking has been documented in Michigan (Emery 1985). Grass carp are established in the Mississippi River (Herborg et al. 2007, Mandrak and Cudmore 2005, Rixon et al. 2005, U.S. EPA 2008) and cultured in states adjacent to the Great Lakes region.
Ctenopharyngodon idella has a moderate probability of establishment if introduced to the Great Lakes (Confidence level: high). The climate of the Great Lakes region is suitable for grass carp. They tolerate temperature minimums to 4oC (Herborg et al 2007) so would have no difficulty overwintering. To the contrary, they have shown to have an ecological advantage for migrating to habitats with rapid temperature changes (Zhao et al. 2011). Spawning requires flowing rivers with a higher temperature – conditions which are met in only a few areas of the Great Lakes, but these areas are capable of producing fish which would then migrate throughout the system (Schofield et al 2005).
Grass carp are obligate herbivores, eating massive quantities of aquatic plants (Petr and Mitrofanov 1998). This diet preference may restrict them to the shallower littoral zones and coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes, where suitable food is plentiful. They are known to be successful competitors against native fishes (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2008a).
Current regulations and control measures are in place which are somewhat likely to be effective in preventing the establishment of grass carp in the Great Lakes (see below).
DeVaney et al. (2009) performed ecological niche modeling to examine the invasion potential for grass carp and three other invasive cyprinids (common carp Cyprinus carpio, black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus, and tench Tinca tinca). The majority of the areas where grass carp have been collected, stocked, or have become established had a high predicted ecological suitability for this species.

Hello PE,
I am still a bit confused about what appears to me to be a contradiction between your original recommendation of 200mg SDA3057 per mole of Ag and a latter statement that the dye should be used at 60 mg per mole of Ag. Because of J aggregations, the dye needs to be double coated over the particles of silver halide. Without the j aggregation, SDA3057 is just another green sensitive dye.

I've loved all of the pure bars I've tasted, including this one, though it was just a bit too sour for my taste.

Thanksgiving Sweet Potato Recipes
From classic sweet potato casserole to vanilla bean-whipped sweet potatoes, here are superb Thanksgiving sweet potato recipes.
Sweet Potato Casserole
More ∨
Sweet potatoes grow in abundance in Alabama, where sculptor Sandi Stevens' family eats them year-round. This casserole is a Stevens favorite: silky pureed sweet potatoes topped with a sweet and crunchy pecan-cornflake topping. If you don't have pecans or cornflakes on hand, Stevens says the topping can be made with whatever nut or cereal is in the cupboard.

Ben Heck. Just the mere mention of the name brings chills to the spines of all who mod, and if today's the first day you've ever come into contact with those seven letters, prepare to be changed. Forever. The Great Modder's latest gig involved the creation of a one-handed Xbox 360 controller, but the catch was that it required completion within a ridiculously short period of time. Essentially, the left analog stick was repositioned to fit on the underside of the controller, enabling the user to operate that with his / her leg while handling the right side of the pad as usual. Check out a video of the admittedly raw looking final product after the break, and feel free to grab some inspiration while you're there.

One of the reasons I like Insurrection (more so than most) is that it is more complex than the average Trek movie, Who the good guys are, and who the bad guys are isn't as obvious as it would first seem. The plot isn't black and white.
The movie could have been made simplistic but it wasn't, straight forward things like who the planet belongs too could have been easy by making the Baku indigenous to the planet instead of interstellar immigrants.
Soon after the Baku figured out the planet's special properties, they could have used their warp ships to spread the word to the galaxy, they didn't.
What's the morality of moving several hundred people in order to help multiple billions?
Instead of spoon feeding the audience, we're allowed to pick sides on our own. based on our own thoughts and beliefs. I like that.

Is there a mistake in row 33? I've tried it 3 times and keep ending up without 41 stitches. I think the problem is the sk2p. I did this stitch according to the directions in The Knitting Answer Book by Margaret Radcliffe. Please advise.

Monterey Road School PTA is dedicated to providing quality enrichment programs to existing educational curriculum in order to help all students realize their full potential. While promoting academic excellence is our primary goal, we also work in conjunction with staff to facilitate communication between home and school, and solicit parental and community involvement in the educational process.

11 NO SCHOOL - Veterans Day
19 Turkey Lunch with Loved Ones
23-27 Thanksgiving Holiday Break
It is hard to believe we just reached the 100th day of School a few weeks ago! I am so proud of our students and staff. I love popping into classrooms and seeing the growth that has taken place since the beginning of the year. We are moving forward with the Common Core State Standards and the shifts in instruction that are necessary to effectively implement these standards. Students are becoming confident in the way they communicate their understanding and reasoning behind strategies that they are using to solve problems. They are also becoming critical thinkers and are persevering in solving all types of problems across the curriculum. This is a very exciting time in education! If you are interested in more information on the Common Core State Standards, please visit the district's website at www.atasusd.org and under "District Services" click on "Educational Services". There are a variety of helpful resources that can help you help your child. As always, thank you for all of your support!

Monterey Road Elementary School is now a "California Distinguished School"
On May 1, 2014, Tom Torlakson (California State Superintendent of Education), announced that Monterey Road Elementary is now officially a California Distinguished School.
Of the 44 elementary schools in this county, only three were recognized as Distinguished. There are 5,768 elementary schools in our state, serving over three million children, and only 434 were recognized with this award.
So now the rest of the state knows what we know: Monterey Road Elementary School is pretty special. That means that our staff is special, our kids are special, our facility is way beyond special, and our families are the best.
Congratulations to all who help make our school distinguished!

Just a reminder, that one of the great ways to impact our school is to volunteer in your child's classroom. The school district requires all volunteers to be TB tested and Megan's Law cleared. If you have not done so, stop by the office today and start the process.
If you would like to volunteer as a chaperone on field trips, you must be fingerprinted. For information regarding Live Scan please contact the school office at (805) 462-4270. All fingerprinting must be done through the County Office of Education.
California Law now requires that your child have an oral health assessment (dental check-up) by May 31 of their first year in public school. Assessments that have happened within the 12
months before your child enters school also meet this requirement. You may pick up the Oral Health Assessment/Waiver Request form in our office. If you cannot take your child for this required
assessment, please indicate the reason for this in Section 3 of the form.
To protect the health of children, California law requires a health examination upon entry into 1st grade. Examinations done within 18 months of entry into 1st
grade also meet this requirement. You may pick up the CHDP form in our office or get it from the above website.
If you have any questions regarding the notices above, please feel free to contact Diane Keohen @ 462-4270, between 8:00 am – 2:30 pm.
The 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 PM. Great place to find out what is currently happening and any new developments in the district.

A Road Race Bike tour that starts in a small medieval town on the top of the hill, with a majestic castle that defended this small town from the Spanish people many times. You will ride along narrow roads, either sided by cork trees or stone walls.

I keep thinking about R5-D4.
He was all set for the big adventure, when out of the blue: poof. Bad motivator. Left behind.
A tragedy, but I bet it didn't even bother him that much at the time. After all, astromech droids are optimists by nature, and each of us is the hero of our own story. R5-D4 probably thought "Just a setback. No worries. This is only the beginning. Another opportunity will come along soon."
How could he have known that those fleeting few moments, during which he was the chosen one, were actually the peak of his role in the big adventure?
I bet he's still out there in the desert, wondering what the hell happened.
He probably thinks his best days are still ahead. Maybe he's right.
For all we know, he could be in great condition now.
Motivator repaired, fully operational. Ready to serve.
May the force be with him.

FROM THE ARCHIVES - On MLK's Birthday
I wonder what Dr. King would think of American society in 2013.
Would he be pleased by the election and re-election of President Obama?
Would he be gratified that race relations have improved overall?
Or would he be heartbroken to learn that race, class and income disparities continue to divide us?
I hope he would be heartened by the awareness that—at least among many of us—his dream is still very much alive.

FAILING & FLYING by Jack Gilbert
Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew.
It's the same when love comes to an end,
or the marriage fails and people say
they knew it was a mistake, that everybody
said it would never work. That she was
old enough to know better. But anything
worth doing is worth doing badly.
Like being there by that summer ocean
on the other side of the island while
love was fading out of her, the stars
burning so extravagantly those nights that
anyone could tell you they would never last.
Every morning she was asleep in my bed
like a visitation, the gentleness in her
like antelope standing in the dawn mist.
Each afternoon I watched her coming back
through the hot stony field after swimming,
the sea light behind her and the huge sky
on the other side of that. Listened to her
while we ate lunch. How can they say
the marriage failed? Like the people who
came back from Provence (when it was Provence)
and said it was pretty but the food was greasy.
I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,
but just coming to the end of his triumph.

Malawi sees 2012 growth at 4.3%Comment on this story
Malawi expects to see its GDP grow by 4.3 percent this year and 5.7 percent next year while inflation will remain in double digits, largely due to a recent devaluation of its kwacha currency, the finance minister told parliament on Friday.
The aid-dependent southern African nation's economy had been in a tailspin for about a year after its former president picked a fight with major donors that slashed the budget. The new government installed in April has worked to restore aid flows. - Reuters

USDA's Farm to School Program is celebrating a new home! As of October 1, 2015, we are housed in the Food and Nutrition Service's new Office of Community Food Systems (OCFS). The establishment of this new office allows us to extend our current focus on local foods beyond the National School Lunch Program and its associated programs to include both the Summer Food Service Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program. In addition, OCFS staff will work closely with tribal communities to respond to their desire to better incorporate traditional foods into our meal programs.
Four Years in Review
As we settle into this new office, the timing seemed appropriate to document early farm to school accomplishments and invite feedback from our colleagues at USDA, other federal partners, and the many external stakeholders impacted by our work. Please check out our new report, Farm to School at USDA, 2012-2015: Four Years in Review and send us your thoughts!
To receive information and updates from USDA's Office of Community Food Systems, please sign up for our E-letter.
Hot Topics
Fiscal Year 2016 Farm to School Grants Award Announcement
Congratulations to the 74 projects that received a 2016 Farm to School Grant award! Nearly $5 million in grants were awarded to projects spanning 39 states to fund school districts, state and local agencies, tribal nations, agricultural producers, and non-profit organizations in their efforts to increase local foods served through child nutrition programs, teach children about food and agriculture through garden and classroom education, and develop schools' and farmers' capacities to participate in farm to school.
For a complete list of 2016 Farm to School Grant recipients, please see the 2016 Farm to School Grants summary. To read more about the grant announcement, please see the November 17, 2015 press release.
Early Results from USDA's Farm to School Census are In!
USDA is pleased to announce that early results from USDA's second Farm to School Census are in, and preliminary data indicate that school districts across the country invested more than half a billion dollars in local foods in the 2013-2014 school year. That represents an increase of $212 million (or 55%) over final results from the last Census, conducted two years ago. Preliminary numbers also show that thanks to the hard work and dedication of school food service directors, teachers, farmers, fishermen and ranchers, more than 42,000 schools are involved in farm to school activities. Whether through buying local foods, building school gardens, or taking a field trip to a local farm, these programs improve child nutrition and provide dynamic educational experiences for students, all the while providing new market opportunities for local and regional farmers.
New Resources
Procuring Local Meat, Poultry, Game, and Eggs for Child Nutrition Programs
Fruits and vegetables are often the first farm to school products in schools, but many districts and organizations are filling out their meals with local meat products too! From buffalo in Montana, chicken in California, to beef in Nebraska, schools are finding a place for locally raised protein products in the cafeteria. We've received a variety of questions related to purchasing local meat products and this recently released memo outlines the food safety requirements for purchasing and serving poultry, livestock, game and eggs in child nutrition programs.
FY 2013-2015 Summary of Grant Awards
This report, which provides an in-depth look at our first three years of grant-making, summarizes findings from an analysis of select data from projects funded during fiscal years (FY) 2013 -2015. It combines both quantitative data about planned activities derived from coding used during the proposal review process and qualitative stories about completed activities primarily from grantee progress reports.
The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act tasked USDA with supporting farm to school efforts through grants, training, technical assistance, and research. To date, the USDA Farm to School Grant Program has funded 221 farm to school projects, totaling $15.1 million. We're pleased to support these programs, and feel confident the grantees whom we fund are establishing models that can be emulated and built upon by districts nationwide.
We're Here to Help!
The USDA Office of Community Food Systems is operated by the Department's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), which has seven regional offices around the country; in each is a Farm to School Regional Lead who is available to provide farm to school related support to state agencies and other entities in their region. A list of regions, along with the names and contact information for regional and national USDA Office of Community Food Systems staff, can be found here.

Allegheny County Executive Fitzgerald tells Alcosan: Rewrite runoff plan
The Allegheny County Sanitary Authority should rewrite a $2 billion plan for keeping sewage runoff out of area waterways to include less infrastructure and more "green" solutions, county Executive Rich Fitzgerald said on Friday.
Fitzgerald joined state Sen. Jim Ferlo during a luncheon attended by about 100 water experts and public officials in calling on Alcosan to include more rain barrels, rain collection gardens and permeable roads and sidewalks along with bigger sewer pipes and holding tanks in its federally mandated response plan.
Alcosan said reworking the plan would be impossible to complete in the three months left to submit it to the Environmental Protection Agency.
"Quite frankly, we are at the 11th hour," said Alcosan spokeswoman Nancy Barylak. "What we have is a federal court order that says we have to have this plan in by Jan. 23. If we do not meet this court order, what happens is we start to incur penalties and fines."
Fitzgerald said he would ask Alcosan to negotiate an extension with EPA. He said he would also lead an effort to lobby Alcosan's 83 member communities to invest in more green solutions.
"I think there's an opportunity that (EPA) would be willing to renegotiate if we show them we have a real plan with real solutions," Fitzgerald said. "The public's got to be a part of this. My job as an elected official is to get all the players together and work together on a plan."
EPA spokesman David Sternberg said he could not comment on whether the agency would grant Alcosan an extension.
Allegheny County and other sewer authorities across the state must upgrade treatment systems to comply with a federal order for reducing overflows of raw sewage into waterways during heavy rain. Alcosan must reduce its overflows by 9 billion gallons annually.
The plan includes bigger sewer pipes, larger treatment capacities and installation of large holding tunnels under the rivers — all known as gray infrastructure.
Barylak said Alcosan has no legal authority to force municipalities to include green solutions in their plans.
Municipalities like Etna, which has green storm-water reduction programs in its downtown and residential areas, would do so if they had the cash, borough manager Mary Ellen Rammage said.
"We are interested in as much green as we can incorporate," she said.
Ferlo, D-Lawrenceville, paid for the luncheon through his taxpayer-funded Senate account to bring together interested parties to discuss alternatives to the Alcosan plan. He estimated the tab at about $2,000.

Is it possible to add some do_action in the plugin code ?
For example, in include/admin.php at line 427 i added a
do_action("polylang_register_string", $this);
So my others plugins could register some strings which i'm able to modify in the Strings tab of Polylang.
I think it'll be a good thing for polylang to be more integrated with external plugins.
So the others plugins writer has just to add something like this in their code:
add_action("polylang_register_string", array(&$this, 'add_strings'));
public function add_strings($polylang) {
$polylang->register_string(__("Hello"), "World");
to have the string translated.
Thanks in advance

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mitt Romney displayed a newfound ability to connect with fellow Republicans at the Republican National Committee three-day gathering here, although his campaign team still managed to find a way to annoy a few prominent party insiders.
After the former Massachusetts governor's well-received luncheon address Friday to about 40 state party chairmen and another 40 elected national committee members, the words "connect" and "finally" fell from the lips of many relieved party officials.
While one Southern Republican later complained that the presumptive GOP nominee had failed to mention social-issue words such as "family" or "life" even once during his speech, Mr. Romney's remarks focused relentlessly on issues such as jobs, economic growth, boosting U.S. exports, producing more oil domestically and taming the national debt — all issues that even many social conservatives have concluded should be the prime focus in the campaign against President Obama.
But a misstep by Romney aides at the gathering still had some party officials shaking their heads. The aides told the Iowa state GOP chairman and the two other elected RNC members from Iowa that they had to leave a private Romney reception Friday because they had refused to sign a pledge to vote for Mr. Romney at the August nominating convention in Tampa, Fla.
Despite having been invited to the reception, Iowa RNC member and evangelical activist Steve Scheffler, Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker and National Committeewoman Kim Lehman, were told by a Romney staffer they would have to sign a pledge if they wanted to remain in the room for a picture with the candidate.
"We told the Romney aide we'd support the nominee wholeheartedly in the fall campaign, but we would not sign a pledge to vote for him or anyone else at the convention," Mr. Scheffler said, saying the "rudeness" displayed by the candidate's staff was pointless and unnecessary.
Mrs. Lehman said the three had decided to get their pictures taken so that Mr. Romney could use them as a sign of Iowa delegation support. "But we felt we didn't need to sign a pledge, and so were told to leave the reception," she said.
Romney nomination rival Newt Gingrich, who had declined RNC Chairman Reince Priebus' invitation to address the Scottsdale meeting, later told The Washington Times he saw nothing wrong with Mr. Romney's tactics, and that it reflected the fact that the race is still not over.
"It's just proof Romney is trying to clinch the nomination that the media has already awarded him," the former House speaker said. "If his nomination were inevitable, it wouldn't require this dealmaking — and if you look at Colorado, Minnesota and Iowa, you can see why the Romney people are scrambling for every vote."
Michigan RNC member Saul Anuzis defended the invitation-only event. "The Romney campaign organized the private photo op as a 'thank you' for all of those RNC members who were supporting him," he said. "This was not an RNC-sponsored or -sanctioned event."
Mr. Anuzis said the idea behind asking members to sign the pledge form was to give party officials a clearer idea of Mr. Romney's actual delegate total. With five states set to vote Tuesday, Mr. Romney has won fewer than 700 of the 1,144 GOP convention delegates officially needed for nomination.
That's still far ahead of chief rivals Rick Santorum (who has suspended his campaign), Mr. Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, but Romney aides say their battlefield scouts have been reporting that loyalists for Mr. Paul and other rivals are posing as Romney delegates in state conventions that actually determine which individuals go to the national convention as delegates.
The Romney camp's fear is that even if he reaches Tampa with the requisite delegates to win, he could fail to carry the first round of voting, perhaps opening the convention to delegate horse-trading, vote-switching and conceivably a wide open nomination race.

Muhammad Ali to receive Liberty Medal on Thursday
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Retired boxing champion Muhammad Ali is coming to Philadelphia to receive the Liberty Medal.
The honor is given annually to an individual who displays courage and conviction while striving to secure liberty for people worldwide. It comes with a $100,000 cash prize.
Ali will be awarded the medal on Thursday at a ceremony at the National Constitution Center.
Ceremony officials say the 70-year-old Ali has built a legacy as a "tireless humanitarian and philanthropist." They call him a fighter for religious and civil rights, and an ambassador for peace and justice worldwide.
Previous medal recipients include rock singer and human rights activist Bono, former South African President Nelson Mandela and former President Jimmy Carter. Six winners later received the Nobel Peace Prize.
