The California Strawberry Commission, Watsonville, is doing radio advertising on a trial basis.
The commercials, which began in early July, air in three markets said Chris Christian, vice president of marketing: Dallas; Charlotte, N.C.; and Seattle.
The commission worked with retailers to permit them to add tags at the end of the commercials, she said. Tags are usually five seconds long and provide store or chain identification.
"We want to see how we can influence sales and develop incremental sales in those markets," Christian said. "It's not something we do routinely on a continual basis, but we're hoping to stimulate demand in the summer."
There is no fear the radio advertising will result in short supplies of California strawberries.
Through June, the state's grower-shippers were 15 million trays ahead of 2008 production during the same period, Christian said.
"It's a very good sign that consumers recognize that strawberries and all berries are good to eat," she said. "Retail sales have been strong, and I'm pleased to see many restaurant chains promoting strawberry menu items."
Strong sales growth in New England states has vaulted the region's ranking into No. 1 in per capita consumption of strawberries, Christian said. Two other regions showing rapid growth are the Southeast and the Midwest, she said.
California is down the list in per capita consumption of the fruit. A reason for the lower ranking, Christian said, could be the abundance of fresh fruit choices greeting shoppers in California markets.
Household income affects strawberry purchases somewhat, according to The Packer's 2009 Fresh Trends survey. The likelihood of purchasing strawberries is 59% in homes where the annual income was less than $25,000.
The percentage jumps to 69% in households where the income range was $25,000 to $49,999, and up to 73% when household income is $50,000 to $99,999.
Above that range, the likelihood of purchasing strawberries increases to 81%.
The strawberry commission began distributing in July a series of news releases focusing on the nutritional and health benefits of strawberries. More of those releases should distribute in August, Christian said.
The commission's plans for its booth at the Produce Marketing Association Fresh Summit 2009 convention on Oct 2-5 in Anaheim, Calif., include sharing updated category best practices data with retailers, she said.
Less than two weeks later, the commission staff will be in San Diego, to meet with food editors at the International Foodservice Editorial Council's annual conference on Oct. 12-15, Christian said.
The staff's final call to action in October is the American Dietetic Association's Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo on Oct. 17-20 in Denver. Chef and author David Grotto will join the staff at the commission's booth, Christian said.

(WBIR-Campbell County) Students at Jacksboro Middle School are not only studying journalism, they're also doing it.
"We have sports, we have clubs, we have entertainment where they cover the outside world entertainment of pop culture and things like that. They enjoy that," Cara Beth Nidiffer explained.
She is the journalism teacher at Jacksboro Middle School in Campbell County. She organizes dozens of students who produce Eagle Eye News.
"The kids run it themselves. I monitor them and maybe give them a little guidance but other than that they've been running the program," she said.
Just like in a typical newsroom, there's a lot more to it than the anchors on the set. That's something 8th grader Lindsey Horton realized right away.
"I thought everyone just came in and did it but there' s bunch of stuff between everyone getting the stories and the editing and then filming itself is really hard. Being a teenager and having to say everything but I love it. It's very interesting," Lindsey Horton said.
The students use computers with a non-linear editing program and software that gives them a lot of technical options.
Lindsey said, "We added a green screen into our filming room so instead of making our own backgrounds we've improved it dramatically so we just move our green screen to put whatever we want."
Noah Smith uses the green screen for his weather forecast.
He gestured to the blank green wall and said, "It will start to cool down as we start into next week with highs in the upper 60s."
Hands on learning teaches them time management and organization and creativity on a deadline. Their teacher sees them give it their best effort.
"They know people are going to see what they do, they're going to see them on camera so they have to work hard and practice," Cara Beth Nidiffer said.
Eagle Eye News airs every other week on WLAF and in the school cafeteria.
Noah Smith said, "Everybody here contributes in some way to the newscast. Even if they're not on camera they still contribute."
Eagle Eye News would love to feature advertising or recruit sponsors to pay for additional equipment.

Workplace Outreach Guide
To access a PDF version of this entire Workplace Outreach Guide, click here.
Companies are busy. It may be hard to convince business owners to give time to your organization to talk about sexual violence. Below are some suggestions that may help you. You are the expert on your community, so please tailor these suggestions to the needs of your organization and community. Report your successes and lessons learned by emailing email@example.com and we will share them with the field.
Choose the audience
The first step in approaching businesses is deciding who you
want to talk to.
Step 1: Make a List…or Three
List 1: Companies and businesses with which you already have a relationship. For example, if your organization has printing done, include your print vendor on the list. Write down organizations that have donated volunteer time or money to your organization in the past. Look to your Board of Directors, which might include prominent business people in your community or people who
know them.
List 2: Well-known businesses in your community (they don't have to be chain stores; your locally-owned businesses are just as important and often more flexible) that you'd like to contact. Find out from your staff and their friends and family if yourorganization has any connections to these places. Maybe someone's aunt works for the local bank and would be willing to speak with her supervisor on behalf of your cause.
List 3: Local organizations that have business-related missions
and members. These organizations are usually composed of members that are civic-minded and have professional connections, both locally and nationally.
Some ideas:
• Rotary Club (www.rotary.org to find contact information on your local club)
• Lions Club (www.lionsclubs.org to find contact information on your local club)
• U.S. Small Business Association (SBA) (www.sba.gov to find information on your district office)
- SBA en Español (www.sba.gov/espanol)
- SBA's Office of Women's Business Ownership (Under the Local Resources tab on the sba.gov website)
- SBA's Office of Native American Affairs(www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/naa/index.html)
• Chamber of Commerce (www.chamberofcommerce.com to search for your city's office)
• The Black Business Association (BBA) (www.bbala.org to learn more)
• Junior League (www.ajli.org to find your local league)
• League of Women Voters (www.lmv.org to find your local league)
Know of others? Let us know! Email suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com
Step 2: Narrow it down
Narrow down your lists, based on who you already know, who your own social contacts know in the business sector, and how much time and resources your staff has to do outreach. Once you have chosen a few companies you plan to reach out to, decide who you will need to speak with at each one. If you already have a contact, use that person. Otherwise, you can use the company's website (if they have one) to obtain the name of the Human Resources or Employee Relations person to call. For small businesses, you may want to call the owner directly. If you are unsure, you can always call the receptionist and ask whom you should speak with (and then call back when you are fully prepared).
Plan your strategy
Now that you've created a prioritized contact list, you need to decide what you want to get out of the companies you approach.
Step 3: Choose your "ask"
Decide what you are asking the company to do for you. Before you call or meet with anyone, you need to be prepared. Briefly explain why you're there and where you are from. Keep it short. Bring materials about your organization and a sample of the SAAM poster and palm card. If you want to go into the business to do trainings on sexual violence or offer the Making a Difference Workshop, bring a copy of the slide show. Your organization is the expert on sexual violence; be confident in offering your services. If you are requesting that the company distribute or post SAAM materials in their workplace, emphasize that it's free for them; you will supply the items. Give a sample for them to keep. Make the case, using the statistics and information in this SAAM
packet, that it will save the business owner money in the long run to prevent sexual violence.
Write a short script to help you stay on track when you make your phone calls. Emphasize near the beginning of the conversation that you are not calling about donations, but rather about providing free information and services to the business. Highlight the benefits to employers of talking about this issue with staff.
Step 4: Assign Tasks
Decide which staff members or volunteers at your organization will reach out to each business on your list and how they will do so. If you're contacting someone you already have a relationship with and know they prefer email over the phone, send a brief email message. For new contacts, it is recommended that you call to make it more personal and build a relationship. You mayalso want to consider writing a formal letter and mailing it to the largest employers in your area, explaining your goal and what you need from them. Enclose sample materials. This allows you to cast a wider net if you have limited staff to make phone calls and visits.
After you've chosen your outreach tactics, be sure to create a timeline so that individuals have a deadline for their initial outreach efforts.
Reach Out
Now that you have the planning finished, it's time to call/email/visit the companies on your list.
Step 5: Make the sell
On the day of your visit or call, be professional and friendly. Don't be discouraged if you don't succeed on your first try. Establishing contact with any local business is a great first step; now they know who to call if they are in need of sexual violence information or services. Consider using the attached "menu" of things that a business owner may want to do to help with SAAM; this is a short, simple way to get them thinking about action steps.
Step 6: Write down what you learned
Whether or not you are able to get into your local workplaces with SAAM information and workshops, it is valuable to record what you tried and what did or did not work. Email your lessons learned to the NSVRC at email@example.com; we will use this information in future recommendations. Your organization will be better prepared the next time you reach out to local businesses.

Bludd- Is the Story of a long lost woman. They say she can see you even when you close out of the tab or page. Her spirit is supposively that of a demonic state , that she came staright from the pits of Hell. Not much is said about Her Origin but like the Slenderman if you open the app or try to communicate , She will try to get out . To stop this happening you need to the The lords prayer with salt around you. If she finds you she will kill you because she misses her long lost daughter. If your hearing sounds of mama or baby cries you need to get a baptizing. Be beware of what she is capable of and be safe . Bludd is truly a horible creature.

Beach Patrol Headquarters is, as implied, a lifeguard headquarters in Ocean Beach, Vice City. The building is not interactive.
While the buildings bears the "Beach Patrol Headquarters" name in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, it does not in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, making it unclear if the building is afflicted with lifeguard operations as depicted in the "Beach Patrol" side-mission.

A WOMAN from south Essex who did the make-up for Hugh Jackman in the hit Hollywood movie Les Miserables has been nominated for an Oscar.
Julie Dartnell, 49, who went to Hassenbrook school, in Stanford-le-Hope, was given the Oscar nod at a nomination ceremony in Los Angeles yesterday.
The mum of two began doing make-up aged 16, but it is the first time she's received a nomination for the top award.
It has been quite a week for Julie, as she was also nominated for a Bafta.
Her proud mum, Anne Dartnell, of Stanford-le-Hope, only found out about the Oscar nomination when she saw Julie's name on the internet.
She said: "It's just amazing. She's worked very hard and done make-up since she was 16. We're really very proud of her."
Les Miserables, directed by the King's Speech's Tom Hooper, also stars Anne Hathaway and Russel Crowe.
It was Julie's work with Hugh Jackman, who has been nominated for the best actor award, that has been praised.
Julie had to fly to Los Angeles last week to present her work to the Oscars panel and discuss how and why she had decided to do Jackman's make-up and wigs. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, in the heartbreaking musical set in 19th Century France.
The film has been nominated for eight academy awards, including best picture. The winners will be announced at a glitzy ceremony on February 24.
Mrs Dartnell added: "We knew over Christmas she had made the final seven, but we found out on the internet on Thursday she had made the final three.
"Her phone doesn't work where she is at the moment, so we can't speak to her. We're not sure if she even knows!
"She's very blase about it all and you will never hear her brag about any of it. She never says how good she is.
"She's a wonderful mum, too."
Julie's sister Sally Sandy, of Stanford-le-Hope, who works at Hassenbrook, said: "We're absolutely over the moon. She always has an eye for art, but had to work so hard and goes away for months at a time. It's fantastic.
"After joining the BBC as a freelance, the things she's worked on have got bigger and bigger."
Julie began her career learning from a renowned West End make-up artist called Bert Broe before joining the BBC aged 21.
When the BBC made her redundant, she was taken on as a freelancer for the organisation, working on shows such as French and Saunders and The Impressionable John Culshaw. She then began doing make-up on films such as Wanted, which starred Angelina Jolie, Alice in Wonderland, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Julie now lives in Berkshire with her partner Dave and two children Holly and Tom. She is currently in Germany working on a new film.

My sister and I went to visit my aunt in an assisted living facility on that day in October and that was the beginning of my addiction. Aunt Mary was 90 years old at the time of the visit and readily shared her memories with us. We hung onto every word and I even thought of pulling an envelope out of my purse to take notes. That was a smart move as I would have forgotten some of the things our aunt shared with us that day.

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Combine oil and water in a cup. Slowly add the water to the dry ingredients and knead several minutes to form a soft dough. If the dough is too moist, add a little more flour. Cover the bowl with a warm, damp towel and let sit for about 10 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 equal size portions and roll into balls. Place in a tortilla press or roll out each ball on a lightly floured board or table. Cover the tortillas with a towel or baking paper to prevent them from drying out until you have finished.
Heat up a cast iron skillet or griddle over a medium flame. Place one tortilla at a time in the hot, dry skillet and cook for approximately 1 minute on each side or until little brown speckles appear on the surface. Remove and keep warm in the oven, on a low temperature. Repeat until all tortilla have been cooked. See Eden's web site for several different refried bean and salsa recipes.

Christiansen, MacDonald Tabbed BSC Runners of the Week
Liberty juniors Jacy Christiansen and Josh MacDonald have been tabbed the Big South Conference Choice Hotels Women's and Men's Cross Country Runners of the Week for their performances at Saturday's Virginia/Panorama Farms Invitational.
MacDonald is the second straight Flame to be named Big South Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week, following Caleb Edmonds' honor on Sept. 25. MacDonald was previously recognized as Big South Men's Track Athlete of the Week on March 13, 2013, while this is the first career conference weekly award for Christiansen.
Christiansen finished 30th overall and first among Big South entrants on Saturday, in a field which featured 11 regionally ranked squads. She clocked a time of 17:58.2 on the undulating 5K course at Panorama Farms, marking her first-ever sub-18:00 cross country 5K.
MacDonald moved up through the men's field throughout the race, climbing from 33rd place at the two-mile mark to ninth place at the finish line of the 8K. The California native's time was a personal-best 23:59.3.
The next meet for Christiansen and MacDonald will be the ISU Pre-National Invitational, slated for Oct. 19 in Terre Haute, Ind. That day, the Flames and Lady Flames will square off against some of the nation's top teams at the site of the 2013 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships.

National PTA and Discovery Education are proud to stand alongside a nation of concerned families in pledging to take concrete steps toward change.

Another Meatless Monday Winner!
While everyday is meatless in my house, I'm always cognoscente of things that can make it easier to be meatless in other households. Today's fave comes to mind as something that is so easy to make and delicious to boot. Rising Moon Organics Butternut Squash Ravioli tastes delicious when paired with a simple salad, or as a side for a more ambitious meal.
I've used some cashew cheese, or a simple butter sauce on my ravioli. I've also made a simple roux out of flour, earth balance and unsweetened coconut milk, and seasoned with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt and pepper for a very fall flavor profile. Just thinking about it makes me warm and fuzzy.

Alabama man indicted for murder in October stabbing
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 9:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 9:23 a.m.
The[a] Alabama man accused of fatally stabbing a Gainesville man in October outside of the Bank of America at 1116 W. University Ave. has been indicted on a first-degree murder charge.
Clifton Rae Baxter, 33, of Ashford, Ala., was formally indicted Thursday by an Alachua County grand jury. He was arrested in Alabama days after the Oct. 26 stabbing of Robert Dockens, 60, of 3625 SE 17th Ave.
Police said Dockens had been stabbed and was lying face down by a nearby restaurant when police arrived. Dockens was taken to Shands at the University of Florida, where he died.
Police reported that Baxter travels back and forth from Ashford, located in southeast Alabama, to Orlando to visit family.
Dockens and Baxter were acquaintances and arrived near the bank in the same vehicle, police reported. An argument over money escalated, and Baxter stabbed Dockens in the chest, according to police reports.

A TERMINALLY-ILL dad has fulfilled the dream of a lifetime by meeting his football idols.
Tom Cooper, 24, and his wife Tammy, were given the chance to meet a handful of Manchester United football stars while he was receiving treatment for a rare form of cancer at specialist cancer hospital, The Christie.
The dad-of-two was diagnosed with the throat cancer 15 months ago, which has since spread behind the nose, to the lymph nodes, to the collar bone, under both arms and in his lungs.
Because of the rare nature of his illness doctors have told Tom that they do not know how long he has left.
Tammy, 23, said: "Tom is now receiving treatment at The Christie.
"During a recent visit we found out the football club was going to be visiting the hospital and its patients.
"The staff made sure Tom had an appointment on the day they visited and we got to meet them all.
"He absolutely loved it. Wayne Rooney is his idol and he even gave him a present.
She added: "Tom is currently on the fifth round of six chemotherapy sessions and this time it has really hit him hard.
"We know his condition will never get any better and that any treatment he receives now is just trying to prolong his life."
The couple who live in Burnley and send their two daughters to a nursery and school in Simonstone and Clitheroe, have also just been on a trip to Disneyland Paris.
Their family and friends organised several sponsored events including a pub crawl and a ladies night and collected more than £1,000 to send the family, including two-year-old Ziani and Tienna, five, on the magical trip.
Tammy said: "The love and support we have had has been absolutely overwhelming. Never did we imagine people would be so generous. The trip was really special and helped the child to create some lasting memories with their daddy.
"Tom's a big kid too and loved going on the rides."
Former nail technician Tammy, 23, has quit her job to be Tom's full-time carer and he has given up his job as a maintenance worker for Accent Housing due to his ill health.
The community rallied around for the pair helping them to wed in a £20,000 ceremony in April last year.

Welcome to a very special edition of The Crap We Missed where I get to silence any and all criticisms of my inclusion of Prince Charles: BOOM! If it's not my duty to bring you British royalty shitting their pants in a Swedish fighter jet, then I don't know what the hell I'm even here for. We've also got Courtney Love's death rattle, Mickey Rourke's death rattle, and Kevin Smith's death rattle.

9 "Healthy" Foods to Skipby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, May 13, 2009
The word "healthy" can get tricky. Lots of foods get labeled good-for-you or may seem low-cal, but they're anything but. Here are 9 of the biggest offenders.
Full of fruits and veggies, a smoothie can be a dieter's delight…sometimes. The main problem is the BIG containers. A 32-ounce Aloha Pineapple smoothie from Jamba Juice maxes out at 570 calories per serving; the same size Cherry Picker smoothie from Smoothie King comes in at 660 calories. That's too much for a small snack or even a main meal. Mix in sweetened yogurt or sherbets and your calories from sugar and fat go up more. Not all smoothies are bad and there are lighter options available — check menus carefully and stick to the smallest sizes. Best option of all: make your own.
Some salads — especially at restaurants — come topped with mega-calorie, high-fat ingredients (heavy dressings, cheese, croutons and even fried chicken). For example, a Southwestern Cobb Salad from Chili's has 1,080 calories and 71 grams of fat. McDonald's Premium Caesar Salad with Crispy Chicken (and dressing) has 520 calories and 35 grams of fat. Look out for words like "crispy" and "creamy". Ask the waiter to put dressing or cheese on the side.
Even if it's "whole grain" or "full of bran," many muffins are super-sized, sugary messes. A simple Blueberry Muffin from Dunkin Donuts has more than 500 calories, 16 grams of fat and 51 grams of sugar! Low-fat ones aren't always better — a Blueberry-Apricot one from Starbuck's has almost 400 calories and 47 grams of sugar. If you need a grab-and-go breakfast, opt for an English muffin or even half a bagel with a light spread. Bake your own bran muffins and keep them in the freezer (up to a month).
Fat-Free Cookies
Fat-free cookies and snack cakes may be lower in fat than the original versions, but it almost always means they're higher in sugar and have just as many calories. Plus, manufacturer's often replace the fat with preservatives and other food additives to make them taste more like the "real thing." And "fat-free" isn't a green light to eat the whole package — keep portions of all baked goods small.
Reduced-Fat Peanut Butter
Many of my clients think they're saving calories by using this in their PB&J. It's actually higher in sugar than the regular version and still contains hydrogenated oils (bad for your waistline and your heart). Stick to 1-tablespoon servings of an all-natural peanut butter. Peanuts may be fatty, but they're healthy fats.
100-Calorie Packs
What good is a 100-calorie pack if you eat 3 at a time? Many foods in these packs are low in nutrients and high in sugar, which leaves you hungry after eating them. You're paying extra for the additional packaging, too. Buy in bulk and make your own pre-portioned packets of trail mix, popcorn and whole-wheat pretzels.
Sure, many granola mixes contain whole grains, dried fruit, nuts and seeds — all healthy foods. In some combos, however, they're calorie and fat overloads (1 cup can have almost 600 calories!). Keep portions small, and mix granola with a lower-calorie, whole-grain cereal. Some granolas and boxed cereals marketed as "healthy" have loads of added sugar. Read labels and if sugar in the top 3 ingredients, move on. Nature's Path makes some that I love.
Enhanced Waters & Sports Drinks
Just because "vitamin" is in the name doesn't mean it's healthy. Infused waters and other enhanced drinks are loaded with synthetic vitamins and sugar (more than 8 teaspoons per bottle!). Even the low-cal versions coming out now are just as sweet thanks to a combo of sugar and artificial sweeteners. As for sports drinks, they do contain electrolytes and combat dehydration, but they also come with calories (a 32-ounce bottle has 200). Don't sabotage a workout by downing liquid calories while you exercise. These drinks are for serious athletes (think: at least an hour of strenuous exercise 6-7 days a week). Opt for water — add a splash of lemon juice for a kick.
Low-Fat Salty Snacks
Choosing pretzels, soy crisps or baked chips over greasy potato chips is smart, but it's not a license to snack endlessly. These snacks have empty calories and little-to-no fiber, which leaves you hungry. Eat them occasionally (yes, everyone likes a little crunch sometimes) and watch portions. Or combine them with something more satisfying — and nutritious — like fruit, nuts or a low-fat yogurt.

• copse •
Pronunciation: kahps • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A small grove of wild trees, a woodsy area, a thicket, an uncultivated coppice.
Notes: With the aggressive building that has been taking place in the US over the past decade, in many areas forests are becoming copses, making today's Good Word too useful to lose. It is a beautiful word (despite sounding like the plural of cop), though you couldn't say the same for its plural: copses. I know you confuse this word all the time with coppice, which is equally beautiful. The difference is that a coppice is cultivated on someone's estate, often for the purpose of cutting it for firewood and such.
In Play: One of the advantages of bucolic living is the availability of copses, a natural playground for kids: "The children loved to play in a little copse behind the house all summer." However, be careful not to confuse your copses with your coppices: "It isn't so much a copse as a coppice since we periodically harvest firewood from it and, at Christmastide, holly and mistletoe."
Word History: Today's Good Word descended from Middle English copys, from Old French copeiz "thicket for cutting", based on the verb coper, couper, "to cut". Old French inherited the word from the presumable Vulgar Latin verb colpare (no written example has been found), from Late Latin colpus "a blow". In Classical Latin the word was colaphus, borrowed from Greek kolaphos. (Sue Gillmor of Portland in the state of Maine, which is filled not only with copses but large preserved forestlands, thought to share this lovely word with us.)

Make Your Own: Dark Chocolate Frozen Yogurtby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, August 10, 2011
We've got frozen yogurt on our minds, so we polled our Facebook fans to find out what flavor they wanted to dive into. Introducing Dark Chocolate Frozen Yogurt (plus some fun ways to jazz it up).
Why Chocolate?
Why not – who doesn't love a little chocolatey goodness?! It can be a tricky fro yo flavor to tackle because tart and tangy yogurt doesn't always mingle with rich and smooth chocolate. The solution — use real chocolate and plus some whole milk to mellow things out.
Dark Chocolate Frozen Yogurt
Makes 1 quart
2 1/2 cups low fat plain yogurt
1 cup whole milk
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 ounces (about a ½ cup) semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch sea salt (optional)
Pour yogurt into a strainer lined with paper towel and place over a bowl to drain; set aside. In a small saucepan whisk together milk, sugar, cocoa powder and cornstarch. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture just begins to bubble and thicken. Add chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt; continue to whisk and cook until chocolate is melted. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps; set aside to cool. Once cool, whisk with strained yogurt and place in the bowl of an ice cream maker. Mix according to the manufacturer's suggestions until thick and frosty (about 30 minutes). Enjoy immediately or for more a scoopable yogurt, transfer to a freezer-safe container and allow to harden in the freezer. Store in the freezer for up to one week.
Nutrition Info Per Serving ( ½ cup)

Total Fat: 5 grams
Saturated Fat: 3 grams
Total Carbohydrate: 27 grams

Fiber: 1 gram
Mix-In Ideas
Add any of these ingredients to the machine during the last few minutes of churning. Or gently swirl in with a spoon after you turn off the machine. Each of the portions below will add about 50 calories per serving.
- Chocolate PB – Add 4-tablespoons natural peanut butter
- Chocolate Raspberry – Add ½ cup of raspberry sauce (only adds 25 calories per serving)
- Chocolate Almond – Add ½ cup chopped toasted almonds, plus a splash of almond extract
- Chocolate Brownie – Add 1 medium brownie, chopped
- Chocolate Mint Chip- Add 1/3 cup chocolate chips plus a splash of peppermint extract

Food is central to our existence, yet our choices have serious ramifications and greatly influence the quality of ecosystems, human health and the lives of billions of factory farmed animals who suffer needlessly.
Most people don't know the plight of the animals whom they eat. Yet it is imperative we make the connection that, when an animal is on a plate, it's a matter of who's for dinner, not what's for dinner and that factory farmed animals are sentient beings.
As a Fellow of the Animal Behaviour Society, for me there is no doubt that animals suffer and cry out for help when they're being prepared for meals. From the way they're raised and transported to the slaughter rooms of factory farms while hearing, seeing and smelling the slaughter of others, to having a bolt driven into their brain and their throats cut, they are living lives of suffering.
As horrifying as this scene is, there are other questions that also need to be pondered as we decide who to put in our mouths.
Factory farms cause enormous environmental damage. So, even if one doesn't give a hoot about animal suffering and death, he or she must consider what their choices are doing to the environment, local and global.
Animals are living smokestacks. People are now talking about the "carbon hoofprint" to refer to the large amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere by the livestock industry.
According to the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, "Livestock emissions make up about 12 per cent of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions or 70 per cent of our agriculture emissions. In fact, livestock are Australia's third largest source of emissions - nearly equal to all transport emissions."
To give greater global context, the Environmental Working Group has stated that "If everyone in the US ate no meat or cheese just one day a week, it would be like not driving 91 billion miles – or taking 7.6 million cars off the road."
Even the United Nation's Nobel prize-winning scientific panel on climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), urged the global community to stop eating meat because of the climatic effects of factory farming, citing studies showing the average production of one kilogram of meat causes the emissions equivalent of 36.4 kilograms of carbon dioxide.
Building on the environmental concerns for greenhouse gas emissions, there are serious concerns for water usage levels of factory farming. For example, the United Nations estimates that by 2025 about 64 per cent of humanity could be living in areas of water shortage with the livestock sector responsible for more than 8 per cent of global human water use.
Without factoring in the billions of animals being killed every year, it is apparent that commercial meat production is not sustainable for the planet.
Each of us can make a positive difference in the quality of ecosystems, our own health, and the lives of billions of other animals by changing who we choose eat.
Professor Marc Bekoff, PhD, is a former professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and co-founder with Voiceless patron Jane Goodall of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He is part of the Voiceless Scientific Expert Advisory Council.
He has been lecturing on the realities of factory farming and the compassionate conservation approach and its principles at the University of Technology Sydney and other venues across Sydney this week.

VISITORS to Wirral's coastal areas are being warned to take care amid fears that gale force winds could cause a tidal surge today.
Gusts of between 40 and 50mph are expected at around 11.15am today, and at the same time tomorrow.
The strong winds combined with high tidal levels mean Wirral is at risk of further flooding.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning of gales for the North West.
A coastguard spokesman said: "Our advice to anyone thinking of going out to coastal areas would be to take care.
"There have been instances across the country where people have been carried away by the waves.
"Keep your distance when and don't put yourself at unnecessary risk."
A major storm surge on December 5 saw tonnes of concrete ripped from sea defence walls, while pavements, railings and road signs were torn up.
Meols, West Kirby and Hoylake promenades were all affected, but New Brighton's redeveloped seafront suffered worst.
The damage has cost council tax payers £250,000 to repair.
Wirral's Council cabinet approvde the expenditure from its general fund when it met earlier this month.

Goals of library session for HS310:
Find peer reviewed, evidence based, single study research studies on your topic:
- End-of-life care (may be related to sudden death, chronic illness, codes, hospice care, etc.)
- Palliative care (symptom management such as nausea, fatigue,psychological distress, etc.)
- Pain assessment/management (including fetal pain, use of music or humor, etc.)
- Spiritual care (may include prayer, how nurses facilitate patient faith, etc)
Learn also how to find an integrated review or systematic review on topic ALSO in addition to the research studies. Systematic or intergrated review such as Cochrane in which experienced reviewers have reviewed and combined the results of studies on a topic an made recommendations.
It would be helpful also to include
* evidence based practice sheet tab (CINAHLPlus with Fulltext (EbscoHost)
Some background tips on identifying research studies:
Meta-analysis (and it usually indicates this in the title) are VERY high quality research. Experimental studies are next strongest--these are often called randomized controlled trials. Correlation studies are next--these are where the researchers are describing what factors are related to the topic. Descriptive studies are ok and they are a description of the way things are without any experimental treatment. Meta-synthesis is good too.
- The library provides Databases by Subject: Nursing at http://library.calstate.edu/northridge/databases/subject/nursing - offers a list of databases recommended for the Nursing. Professor Highfield especially wants you to become familiar with CINAHLPlus and PubMed ( PubMed is available on the Internet - access to subscription databases CSUN has is limited to the CSUN's link to PubMed) . Additionally, on the home page and at the top of every Database by Subject page is a link to discovery tool OneSearch which will search over 150 databases and allows you to save records on your own electronic shelf access using your same CSUN email login and password. Additional, we will explore the native interfaces for the following databases.
Controlled Vocabularies, Age Groups and Limits in:
- CINAHLPlus with Full Text (Nursing and Allied Health Literature) on EbscoHost offer CINAHL Headings, the controlled vocabulary CINAHL indexers use to assign subject headings to each record, limits, e.g. age, gender, Evidence Based Care sheets and Cited Reference searching. Remember not all the records have the full text so you will need to use sometimes the Find text icon which helps you identify if CSUN subscribes to the journal as well as give help in APA style.
- PubMed (Medline)- in addition to indexing almost 5000 medical journals, there are links into freely availble Consumer Health (MedlinePlus) resources, several genetic, chemical, full text jurnal and full text book resources. Be sure to use CSUN's link to PubMed which is http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?otool=cacsunlib This URL offers you the Find text icon which helps you identify if CSUN subscribes to the journal.
- Learn about PubMed Advanced search http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/special_queries.html
- Learn about Medical Subject Headings MeSH
- COCHRANE (Wiley)- evidence based literature review . Provides bibliographies and the findings of research articles
- Additional interfaces for MEDLINE are MEDLINE (ISI) and MEDLINE (Ovid)
- Ovid Journal and Ovid Books - has over 700 full text journals and a growing collection of electronic books mostly Lippincott titles, and the MEDLINE index to medical literature
- Learn aboutGoogle Scholar at http://scholar.google.com/ is free to you. You can configure so it will work with CSUN's Find Text. However Find Text in Google Scholar is a link labeled SFX. To activate the capabilities for your browser, go to Scholar Preferences:
- In the box next to Library Links type "CSUN" and click Find Library.
- Check the box next to "CSU, Northridge (SFX Find It)"
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save Preferences button.
Click SFX: Additional Options or SFX: Find It for access to online full text, Oviatt Library holdings information, and Interlibrary Loan.
- Learn about Google Book links using our catalog - Check out the catalog record for
- Wallace, M. (2008). Essentials of gerontological nursing. New York: Springer. http://suncat.csun.edu/record=b2200937 and its
Nursing Databases Descriptions
- CINAHLPlus with Full Text Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature indexes several thousand nursing and allied health journals; 780 of them are full text journals, from 1937 to present Offers evidence based care sheets, includes bibliographies and thereby offers cited references searching for the journals it indexes.
- Cochrane is a collection of evidence based medical databases, with protocols, controlled trials, and full-text reviews. Access to the full text of the reviews is limited to 1 user at a time.
- OVIDJournals - with about 25 current journal subscriptions plus hundreds of Walter Kluwer older full text journals, the Ovid journals interface also offers a growing list of Lipponcott nursing books
MEDLINE database indexes 5000 medical and allied health journals. It's available from several vendors.
- PUBMED (NLM) indexes the medical literature including nursing. PubMed also provides access to additional relevant Web sites and links to the other NCBI molecular biology resources. PUBMed and the other related databases are freely available on the Internet so it is important for lifelong research. While you are a student at CSUN, Oviatt gives you access to over 52,000 journal subscriptions by using this URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?otool=cacsunlib
- MEDLINE (OVID) - OVID interface is often available in hospital libraries
- MEDLINE (ISI) - MEDLINE on ISI may be useful because it works well with Endnote Web
Scholarly Journals (Peer-reviewed/Referreed)
- Authors are authorities in their fields.
- Authors cite their sources in endnotes, footnotes, or bibliographies.
- Individual issues have little or no advertising.
- Articles must go through a peer-review or refereed process.
- Articles are usually reports on scholarly research.
- Illustrations usually take the form of charts and graphs.
- Articles use jargon of the discipline.
OneSearch allows you to search, at this time, 150 databases as well as the Oviatt Library catalog. Although 150 databases, many indexes (e.g. PubMed, PsycInfo, Physical Education Index, LLBA...), full text databases (e.g. ScienceDirect, Sage Journals, JSTOR, Springer, Taylor & Franics...) are a lot of databases, OneSearch does NOT contain the contents of all our databses yet. OneSearch does offer a consistent way to save the records you want to keep, and if you view your saved records, on the right there is a "Export to EndNoteWeb" command where you can easily send the bibliographic information on the source you are viewing into your personal (editable) citation management database.
OneSearch is very useful to look up scholarly article citations (use quick keyword search author surname key words in title, or type in the article Doi if your citation offers a Doi), or do a simple keyword search on topic. You can identify academic articles easily, often be advised article is "peer reviewed" and see lots of hints on other keywords you can use for your search strategy.

When you learn something, there are several different ways to measure how you remember it. The deepest form of memory is called recall and refers to any piece of information that you can instantly remember (for example: your name). The goal of most studying is to get the information memorized to a point where you can recall it.
One step down from recall is aided recall. This describes the type of memory where you cannot remember it until you are given a hint (for example: your first grade teacher's name starts with a B). Mnemonics help with memories in this stage by providing the cues to help you recall the information. This is why mnemonics work so well! You don't have to study the facts as much in order to remember them.
If you are unable to recall the information, then you may have only memorized the information to the point of recognition. At this stage, you are unable to recall the information even if aided, but once the material is shown to you, you instantly remember it. This is why multiple-choice tests are easier than fill-in-the-blank tests. You only have to recognize the answer, not recall it.
If you learned the fact at some point and now have forgotten it to a point where you can't even recognize it, then your memory may be in the relearnable stage. In this stage, there is some evidence of previous learning because you learn it much faster the second time around. An example of this would be relearning a foreign language that you learned many years ago, but forgot.

A BARNOLDSWICK councillor has made a last-minute plea to county councillors for some 'sensible amendments' to plans for a new primary school in the town.
The application for a replacement primary school next to West Craven High Technology College is being considered at the planning meeting today.
Coun David Whipp said: "I have written to each county councillor on the committee asking them to defer a decision to allow a chance for some sensible amendments to be agreed.
"Just last week, the county finally met with a cross-party group of councillors from Pendle to discuss the impact of the proposed new school.
"All the local representatives were concerned about the inadequate changes to the access off Kelbrook Road through the sports centre car park and the reduction in parking it would cause.
"The county staff appeared willing to consider amending the scheme, but now it's down for approval without any changes."

Brothers Finishes Tied for Fifth
HOWEYINTHEHILLS, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's golf team had their best finish of the spring at the Mission Inn Spring Fling, as they finished sixth out of 12 teams, Sunday afternoon from the par-72, 6,940-Yard Las Colinas golf course.
Each of the Lions four finishing competitors finished in the top-39 of the 72-person field. Individually, however, Stetson's Sam Ryder (72-70-70—212) finished as the tournament medalist with a score of four-under.
Ryder's efforts on the course also led to the Hatters (297-295-293—885) clinching the Spring Fling win with a score of 21-over. The win unseated the Saint Leo group who won the 2010 Mission Inn. IPEW (300-297-291—888) closed as the runner-up at 24-over while Appalachian State University (300-301-305—906) rounded-out the top-three at 42-over.
By the end of the tournament, just six shots separated the Saint Leo from a top-three finish.
For the Lions, Nick Brothers (75-73-73—221) saw second and third round scores of 73 help him to a season-best fifth place finish at five-over. Overall, the sophomore finished nine strokes off of Ryder's winning pace.
Freshman Mark Sabatino (76-77-78—231) shot consistent mid-70's scores throughout his three rounds, as he finished behind his teammate, Brothers, with a score of 15-over.
One shot behind Sabatino was Chaz Heinz (80-75-77—232). After shooting a first round 80, the freshman rebounded by firing scores of 75 and 77 in rounds two and three. Finishing at 16-over, Heinz finished tied for 32nd.
Tom Lynn (80-77-77—234) also saw improvement over his final two rounds. The senior, also recovering from a first round 80, shot back-to-back rounds of 77 to finish at 18-over.
Codi Daudelin saw action over the final two rounds, but was ruled as a 'Did Not Finish' because he did not compete on in the first round.
Each finish for the Lions' brass was their top ending score for a tournament this season.
The Lions are next scheduled to compete in one of the toughest regional tournaments of the year as they head to Miami, Fla. and the Normandy Shores Golf Course to compete in the Buccaneer Invitational. The two-day, three-round Invite is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 4.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Well, that was fast - one day after rumors suggested that Apple ( AAPL) would unveil a new iPad with 128 GB of storage, the consumer tech giant delivered. 128 GB is twice the amount of its previous largest iPad. "With more than 120 million iPads sold, it's clear that customers around the world love their iPads, and everyday they are finding more great reasons to work, learn and play on their iPads rather than their old PCs," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, in the press release. "With twice the storage capacity and an unparalleled selection of over 300,000 native iPad apps, enterprises, educators and artists have even more reasons to use iPad for all their business and personal needs." Apple just refreshed the 9.7-inch iPad in October, and also unveiled the iPad mini. The new 128GB versions of the fourth-generation iPad will be available Feb. 5. As the rumors suggested, the Wi-Fi model will cost $799, and the Wi-Fi + cellular model will run $929. Apple shares were higher in pre-market, gaining 0.96% to $454.14. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Commodity_Bull

Here's the press release from the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources:
The ozone season begins Monday as state and local environmental agencies renew their daily air quality forecasts for ozone in metropolitan areas across North Carolina. Air quality has been good so far this year due to cool, wet weather but that could change quickly when the temperatures warm.
"Air quality forecasts help inform people about how clean or polluted the outdoor air is and whether health effects might be a concern," said Sheila Holman, director of the N.C. Division of Air Quality (DAQ). "Using the forecasts, people can better plan their activities to help protect their health and reduce emissions."
The daily air quality forecasts focus on the pollutant likely to reach the highest level on a given day, which could be ozone or particle pollution. The color-coded forecasts show whether air quality is likely to be good (green), moderate (yellow), unhealthy for sensitive groups (orange), or unhealthy (red).
State and local air quality programs issue air quality forecasts for ozone from April through October in the Asheville, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Hickory, Triad, Triangle and Rocky Mount metropolitan areas. Forecasts are issued for particle pollution year-round for all North Carolina's metropolitan areas.
Meteorologists issue the air quality forecasts at 3 p.m. every day for the following day. On Code Orange and Red days, the forecasts also suggest things people can do to protect their health and reduce air pollution, such as driving less.
Ozone is North Carolina's most widespread air quality problem, particularly during the warmer months. High ozone levels generally occur on hot sunny days with little wind, when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react in the air. High levels of fine particles can occur throughout the year, particularly during episodes of stagnant air and wildfires.
Ozone, a highly reactive form of oxygen, can be unhealthy to breathe — particularly for children, people with respiratory problems or heart disease, and even healthy adults who work or exercise outdoors. Exposure to high ozone levels may cause previously healthy individuals to develop asthma over time. Ozone also causes millions of dollars in tree and crop damage each year in the U.S. More than half of North Carolina's residents live in counties where ozone levels exceed the standard at times.
Particle pollution, which consists of very small particles and liquid droplets in the air, can be harmful to breathe and contributes to haze and other air quality problems. Fine particles can penetrate deeply into the lungs and absorb into the bloodstream, causing or aggravating heart and lung diseases. Persons most susceptible to particle pollution include those with heart and respiratory conditions, the elderly and young children.
Currently all of North Carolina meets federal particle standards, but levels have exceeded the annual standard in several Piedmont counties in the past. Unlike ozone, particle levels can be high during any season or at any time of the day. Sensitive groups should take special care to limit their physical activity during periods of high particle pollution.
The DAQ developed its air quality forecasting system to help citizens better protect their health and to comply with clean air standards. In the Triad, forecasts are issued by the Forsyth County Environmental Affairs Department.
Citizens can obtain air quality information and forecasts by visiting the DAQ's website at www.ncair.org or calling 1-888-RU4NCAIR (1-888-784-6224). People also can download a free smart phone by searching for "EPA AIRNow."
North Carolina has taken steps to reduce levels of ozone, fine particles and other air pollutants. The General Assembly enacted the Clean Smokestacks Act in 2002, which required power plants to reduce their ozone, particle and haze-forming emissions by three-fourths. Those emissions reductions have helped improve air quality in the state in recent years.

Local artists heading to Haiti for Kanaval
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 6:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 6:26 p.m.
A group of about 20 people with the humanitarian organization From Gainesville With Love will be traveling to Jacmel, Haiti, this weekend to observe and film the city's annual three-day cultural-festival Kanaval.
From Gainesville With Love was formed by Gainesville-local David Ames, 34, in 2010 after the magnitude-7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti. The organization's goal is to help revitalize Jacmel, which the group has dubbed a sister city to Gainesville.
The group will leave on Friday and return on Monday. While there, they will finish the documentary they have been working on for about a year. However, the film will include footage from several years ago as well, Ames said.
This will be the 13th trip the group has taken to Jacmel. The participants pay their own airfare, food and housing in Haiti, which Ames estimated to be about $400 to $500.
He said the group decided to return for the event because "every city official was saying it's all about Kanaval."
People prepare for the event nine months in advance and consider it one of the biggest days of the year, he said. The festival features traditional costumes, masks and ceremonies. It happens simultaneously in Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and multiple other locations across the country.
Along with videographers, the group also consists of local musicians, artists, dancers and photographers.
The main goal of the trip is to be observers of the festival, but Ames said he expects collaborations with the Haitian artists to happen as they have on past trips.
He said when he first visited Jacmel he had preconceived notions about the art scene it had.
"I was expecting them to be banging on some primitive instruments, he said. "And I walk in there, and they have like 15 violins going."
The group intends to screen the documentary in Gainesville when it is finished and enter it into film festivals.
