A DESPERATE mother is forgoing the usual new year wishes to ask for something more important than anything – the chance to see her two daughters grow up.
Sally-Anne Grainger has made a heartfelt plea to readers of your Worcester News in a bid to find a living kidney donor, after running out of all other options.
Miss Grainger, who has cystic fibrosis, has already undergone a double lung transplant, in March 2009, which had given her a new lease of life.
But all the medication she had to take for the transplant put a strain on her kidneys and has led to renal failure.
Battling anaemia, the 33-year-old said she is now "just existing" and has to have dialysis three times a week.
Consultants have said her kidney is only expected to work for another five years, but that she faces being on the donor waiting list for five to six years unless a willing live donor can be found.
All of her friends and family have been ruled out for health reasons and hopes of a donation from her friend Jonathan Povey were dashed at the eleventh hour when complications were discovered.
The student, from Swallowfields, Warndon Villages, said her only hope now was too reach out to strangers and hope someone would be willing to donate.
Miss Grainger, mum to Kelsey, 14, and Megan, nine, said: "If I don't get a kidney I will die sooner rather than later.
"I didn't want to ask strangers for help but Jonathan persuaded me because he was so upset he couldn't donate. Now, I am running out of options.
"I want to see my girls grow up and be a mum to them as long as I can for them."
Donors will need to have the same blood group, O positive, and be fit and healthy.
A medical, surgical and psychological assessment to make sure they are fit and healthy would also be required.
The operation will take about two hours and the recovery will vary from between two to 12 weeks depending on surgery and the individual's recovery.
Miss Grainger, who is under the care of Birmingham Queen Elizabeth Hospital, said: "It will be really overwhelming if someone actually did come forward and I will be very, very grateful to be able to spend more time with my children."
"It would be great to be able to live rather than just exist and be with them."
She explained she had been getting more breathless and sleeping for up to 14 hours a day.
The tiredness and dialysis appointments were also impacting on her creative reading and screen writing studies at the University of Worcester and she would miss most of her daughter's 10th birthday as she is due to have dialysis.
"It is affecting my whole life.
"When I am walking I have to stop quite a few times because I am out of breath. My heart's working harder because it is having to do more to cope with the lungs.
"My consultant told me to find a live donor because when I go into proper renal failure the operation is going to be harder because of the impact it will have on my lungs.
"I can't excrete as much fluid anymore so a lot of fluid goes on the lungs and I notice that I get more breathless and I can't do as much as I did before.
"Having this transplant would absolutely change my life.
"I am missing out all the time on everything my girls are doing. I've always been a hands-on mum but I feel like I am just existing again."

Paul McCartney's "My Valentine" Videos, Starring Johnny Depp + Natalie Portman!
Sir Paul McCartney has just released not one, not two, but three new videos for his single "My Valentine," starring Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman!
-Lucia Peters
That's right: Videos. Plural. Because Paul McCartney can do whatever Paul McCartney wants, especially if that means going against the standard music video conventions.
Just in case you didn't know, Sir Paul released a new album back in February. His first studio album since 2007's Memory Almost Full, this new one, entitled Kisses on the Bottom, is a bit of a departure from his usual offerings: Jazzier than what we've come to expect from Paul, Kisses on the Bottom largely features re-imaginings of classic tunes like "It's Only a Paper Moon," "Bye Bye Blackbird," and "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" (from which the title of the album comes). It does have a couple of original songs on it as well, though, one of which is called "My Valentine."
A somewhat melancholy number, "My Valentine" also features guitar great Eric Clapton. And hey, look! Sir Paul just released not one, not two, but three videos for it! The videos are an interesting exercise directed by Paul himself; shot in black and white, they star Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman and make use of sign language in conjunction with the tune's lyrical content. Check them out here!
Read What Should Demi Moore's New Twitter Name Be?
The first one stars Johnny:
The second, Natalie:
And the third features both of them:
I think the third one is the most interesting of the three, but taken together, they're even better. Are you going to have this song stuck in your head for the rest of the day now? Me too. Let's hum it together.
Not unrelated, here's your daily funny: There is, however, a… well, not exactly a naughty word, but, shall we say, a less-than-poetic word which accidentally appears about one minute into Natalie's video. Whoops. And also some other somewhat questionable mistakes. Happens to the best of us, I guess?
Happy Friday, Bettys!

Postural drainage is getting in positions that make it easier for mucus
to drain. Chest physiotherapy is gently "clapping" parts of the body to remove
mucus from the lungs. They are often used together in conditions such as cystic
fibrosis or a spinal cord injury (SCI) to help loosen and remove mucus from the
lungs. When mucus collects in your lungs, it increases your risk for lung
infections, such as pneumonia.
Following are general instructions
for chest physiotherapy and postural drainage. Talk to your doctor about the
positions you should use and how long how to do it.
Morning is the best time to do postural drainage, because it
helps clear mucus that has built up during the night. It may also be done just
before bed to decrease nighttime coughing. Do not do it soon after a meal,
because this may increase the chance of vomiting.

The New Year starts off with a bang
There was certainly plenty of heat in PC when the clock struck twelve this time around. Lulu and Dante celebrated their new family. Patrick came very close to kissing Sabrina. Maxie and Spinelli reverted to their old passionate ways. Carly and Todd finally took the next logical step in their relationship. But how long will their bliss last?
There were a few disturbing events as well. First, poor Ellie was run down by Connie's car. Ellie was on her way to the hospital roof to meet Spinelli at midnight. Of course, Spinelli's heart was broken when Ellie didn't show up. He not only turned to alcohol, he turned to former love Maxie.
Prior to Ellie's unfortunate accident, Maxie fell down and mis-carried Lulu's baby. This was tragic on many levels. First, a lot of time, money, and emotion went into creating that baby. And just like that, it was gone.
Second, Maxie not only failed to tell Lulu the truth, she slept with Spinelli just hours after the mi-carriage! That was a stupid move, to say the least.
Here's the thing – did Maxie and Lulu use protection? I'm thinking they didn't. Let's take it a step farther – will the reunion result in Maxie getting pregnant? Forgive me because here it comes – will Maxie remain mum about the miscarriage and pass the baby off as Lulu's. Maxie certainly is capable of such a thing. And if Ellie survives, Spinelli will more than likely return to her side. So things should get interesting.
In actor news, Steve Burton (Jason) fans will want to tune into 'The Talk' Monday on CBS.

12-year-old girl, grandfather missing after road trip found safe
A Penn Hills girl and her grandfather arrived home safely Monday after an outing turned into a harrowing weekend experience that left family members shaken.
Kimberly Bradford said her father, Morris Bradford, 75, and daughter, Raven, 12, a student at Shady Side Academy, left home about 6:30 a.m. Saturday to attend a play in Lancaster. It took almost two days for them to return.
"It was supposed to be a day out with grandpa," Kimberly Bradford said. "I didn't mean to think the worst, but I was so panicky."
A flat tire four hours into their 250-mile journey caused a problem, but they were on their way after exchanging the flat for the spare.
Raven and her grandfather attended the play, but they got lost on the way home and encountered more troubles with Morris Bradford's silver 2006 Nissan Altima.
Poor cellphone reception and a fading phone battery added to the mother's concern. Raven sent a text message to her aunt about 2:50 p.m. Sunday to say they got lost, had car trouble and her phone was about to die.
"They were out in a rural area somewhere. They stayed in the car and (Raven's) phone was dead. They had nowhere to go, and there was nothing they could do until someone came," Kimberly Bradford said.
Penn Hills police alerted the media and had police in the Lancaster area searching for the car, police Chief Howard Burton said.
"In the early morning, I was really, really concerned and scared because there was no more contact. I literally did not sleep the entire time," Kimberly Bradford said.
Eventually, people in the area saw their predicament and helped summon a tow truck, which returned the two and the car to Pittsburgh.
When she reunited with her daughter shortly before 3 a.m. Monday, Kimberly Bradford said she was relieved. But for Raven, it was back to work.
"When she came home and after she got her rest, I said, 'Go do your homework.' I'm really happy to have her back."

Over 45 years ago, while struggling to adjust in my first year at college, I found an academic home in the psychology department. Classes had relatively low enrollments, the professors were great, and there was an enjoyable camaraderie among the majors. Upon graduation in 1970 from the University of Notre Dame, I was fortunate to enter graduate school at Kent State University, specializing in Developmental Psychology. With my dissertation nearly completed, I applied for a teaching position in the spring of 1974, and was hired by St. Lawrence.
The longer I stayed at St. Lawrence, the more I was reminded of my own undergraduate experience: I taught small classes on a relatively large and attractive campus, there was an emotional connection between students and the university, and the camaraderie among our majors was terrific. In the past 39 years, I've taught different seminar courses on specialty topics, but the core of my teaching responsibilities has always been the four sections of Developmental Psychology that are generally offered each year. As a byproduct of longevity, my cumulative enrollments in Developmental now exceed 5000 SLU graduates. One of my more enjoyable experiences, and a regular occurrence over the past ten years, is to find the children of former students enrolled in the course.
My research interests have evolved, but for the past 15 years have focused on risky behaviors in middle school children. Students seem to connect with the topic, and traveling to conferences to present research that has been co-authored with students is another highlight of working in the psychology department.

Women, Leadership and Women's College
March 4th, 2014 | SMWC
By Lorrie Heber
During Women's History Month in March, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College will continue its tradition of "Celebrating Women of Character, Courage, and Commitment." Exemplary women abound worldwide and right here in our own hometowns. Despite the extraordinary contributions women have made throughout history, opportunities for women to rise up as leaders remain large.
Making up slightly more than 50 percent of the United States population, women occupy just 19 percent of seats in U.S. Congress. Between 30 and 40 percent of business school enrollees are women yet women occupy just 4.2 percent of the 2013 Fortune 500 top jobs. Women make up 60 percent of college graduates yet still earn just 77 cents for every dollar earned by men.
Facebook CEO, Sheryl Sandberg has put these issues forward and generated considerable discussion with her recent book "Lean In." One assertion is that women are socialized to be demure and defer to men in the halls power. That demureness begins early, amplifies in high school and extends to the college experience and into the workplace.
With the thorny, polarizing challenges of our world before us, the need for critical thinking, diversity of thought and a broader perspective has never been greater. The time is right for women to rise up and lead our governments, institutions and businesses.
"Female leadership brings not just new ideas but a totally new perspective and it becomes important to achieving solutions," said Dottie King, president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. "Women lead very differently. We're consensus builders and consider factors that men don't. I think we bring something new to the table. Men are more transactional; women are more transformational. We're long-range thinkers."
"Women have 360 degree thinking. Maybe genetically because we're mothers we have to be everything rather than honed in on one mission," said Cindy Hux Martin '78 president and chief executive officer of Hux Oil Corp and a member of the SMWC board of trustees.
"I don't really believe in quotas or making things 50/50, but there aren't enough of them (women leaders)," said King. "And there are a lot of internal and external factors for why there aren't enough of them. But it's obvious to me that women themselves aren't aspiring as high as they could. We have a generation that's grown complacent."
Shattering complacency and developing women leaders is uniquely suited to the women's college. Especially a women's college like the Woods with its liberal arts foundation.
"Our goal is to help create a well-rounded person, to develop problem solvers with critical thinking skills," said Janet Clark, vice-president of academic affairs. "We start students out right off the bat with our general studies program called the Woods Core that has courses in critical thinking, communications, and leadership."
Some have deemed the liberal arts curriculum irrelevant. "The liberal arts curriculm has never been more important," said Clark. "We're preparing students now for jobs that don't yet exist. And employers tell us they need both job skills and critical thinking or 'soft' skills. Job skills will change and can be taught relatively quickly. Soft skills take time to develop."
A recent "Women's Colleges Comparative Alumnae Research Project" study by Hardwick-Day of women's college graduates shows that women's colleges create leaders, communicators and persuaders, develop critical skills for life and career, enable students to engage with top faculty and resources, and proves its value over a lifetime.
"A lot of women are silenced in a large coed environment. A women's college provides a safer place to develop skills and to find your voice," said Martin.
The keys to success in leadership development at the collegiate level include a high level of interaction between faculty and students, strong community and peer interactions inside and outside of the classroom, and a challenging, active classroom environment.
For Sherry Bube, '14 music therapy major and president of the Student Senate, the Woods is "a nurturing, safe environment. Over time you take steps forward, finding confidence within yourself. You find that confident voice."
In addition to finding her voice, Bube says that her collaboration and networking skills have been significantly built during her college career. "I was very independent and would try to do everything on my own. I've learned that, while I might be capable of doing something, I might not be the best person to be doing it. Acknowledging that fact and then reaching out to someone who could help was a big step in my development," she said.
The smaller school environment also meant that she has to reach out beyond her own department to accomplish goals like putting on the annual Student Senate Leadership Summit. "In a larger school, I might have just stayed within my own department. Here I could reach across departments to get expertise from say the communications department to help promote the event. It's taught me how to reach out and get beyond my comfort zone," she said.
The list of female "firsts" and the number of national and international women leaders who are alumnae of women's colleges is impressive. Women like Madeleine Albright, Pearl Buck, Rachel Carson, Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro, and Gwen Ifill are just a fraction of those who've made a significant impact on our world.
The question then is raised, do women with innate leadership abilities seek out the women's college experience or do they come to a women's college for other reasons and then find their leadership skills? The answer is yes, and no, and maybe a little of both.
"Leaders have the ability to think differently, to take risk. And choosing us is a risk. Only three percent of women will even make a visit here," said King. In a recent Huffington Post Education guest blog, King cited the fears women have of a women-only environment. "Most people believe that choosing a single-gender college will mean that they will never have the chance to see, talk to or interact with students from coeducational experiences, especially men. Not true," she wrote.
Of prospective students, "I think they know they want to make a difference in the world," said Clark.
"We all possess leadership abilities. At the Woods you're being presented with opportunities, you're being called up. By the end of four years, they're definitely developed," said Bube.
Once women leave the safe, nurturing environment of the Woods, do their leadership skills hold? "Once you find your voice, you never lose it," said Martin.
Students at women's colleges build strong, life-long relationships during their undergraduate years," said King. "These relationships provide much more than social value... they provide a network of relationships that facilitate personal and career support and strengthen their desire to help their communities for a lifetime.
Opportunities for leadership in the world are abundant and doors are opening wider for women especially those who've honed leadership skills through education and mentoring.
"When the door gets cracked open just a little for us, we push the door open and step inside then we reach behind us to pull other women in along with us," said King.

Adnan Oktar: TURKEY IS GOING TO BE THE GREAT TURKEY. I particularly stress that, with a %100 certainty– not a %99 certainty – TUKREY IS GOING TO BECOME THE LEADER OF THE TURKISH ISLAMIC UNION. THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL SEE THIS WITHIN 10-20 YEARS. I will be there, you'll be there, and everyone will be there, this is certain by Allah's will inshaAllah. There is no any other way, this is destiny of mankind inshaAllah, and it will happen so… Turkey does already have a dominion over Islamic World as the leader of Turkish Islamic World. Yet, Turkish countries are Muslim countries, in general… Therefore; Turkey is going to become the leader of all Muslims, Christians and Jews InshaAllah. I mean; Turkey is already the leader, and is going to be the leader InshaAllah. And It will offer them all peace, ease, and justice. Turkey has already been doing this. It has been doing this in Bosnia, in Iraq. Also in Afghanistan. It has been doing this everywhere. Whereever it goes, Turkish Army has always been welcomed with love. But this improve even further; because our nation is such a compassionate nation; our nation is delighted by love and friendship. I mean, they give you the food off their plates and shirt off their backs. For instance, they don't drink but they share their drinks with other people. For example; if they have the best bed ever, they give it to their guests and they don't even yearn for it.

- About Plattsburgh
I graduated from the Technical University in Wroclaw, Poland, and next obtained my Ph.D. from SUNY at Buffalo. Before finally settling down in Plattsburgh I spent two years in Atlanta, Georgia, as a post-doc, and then some time as a visiting professor at University of Minnesota, Duluth. In addition to quantitative analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis I also teach general chemistry.
My main research interests are in the field of chemical sensors, and in the area of conducting and redox polymers. These polymers can be used in a variety of devices, e.g., in sensors, displays, photoelectric devices, as anodes or cathodes in batteries and supercapacitors, where they are required to work under a wide range of experimental conditions, namely in the presence of an electric field, in various solvents and electrolytes, and electrolyte's concentrations. In order to optimize a given polymer for a specific application it is critical that it is characterized over the full range of conditions likely to be experienced when it is in use. In particular I am interested in volume changes accompanying redox reactions of electroactive polymers in a variety of salt/solvent mixtures.
I like to travel and visit new places, I also enjoy hiking. Both activities give me an opportunity to take many pictures. I like to relax with a good book in my hand and good music in the background.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/3/2013 (1624 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
On Monday night, someone is going to win the provincial AAA varsity girls' basketball championship. Their celebration will be hard-pressed to top the jubilation shown by the Sisler Spartans on Saturday.
The Spartans scratched and clawed all afternoon in their quarter-final matchup with the Vincent Massey Trojans before finally asserting themselves in the latter stages of the fourth quarter. Sisler, the fifth seed, squeaked out a 45-42 win over the fourth-seeded Trojans in a game in which no basket was conceded without a fight.
"It feels amazing," said Spartans captain Pamela Zaldarriaga, a Grade 12 forward. "We're a small team, and no one expected us to be here. It's a big step for us to get to the final four. Last year we lost in the quarter-finals, so it's big for us to go one step further."
Sisler will face top-seeded, and undefeated, Oak Park in Thursday's first semifinal at 6 p.m. at Investors Group Athletic Centre. The Raiders beat Garden City 76-64 to advance.
Sisler coach Mike Tan said Saturday's effort was typical for his group — a workmanlike effort that may have been short on style points.
"We're a hard-working group," said Tan, who isn't shy with his criticism from the sideline. "They've busted their butts for me all year. They're absorbing what I'm saying, even though sometimes it's a little bit of tough love. They know I want them to succeed."
The Spartans know they'll need a near-perfect game to upset the Raiders on Thursday.
"We can't be scared," Zaldarriaga said. "We have to play our game. It's going to be tough, but we'll give them a challenge."
Tan said the Raiders present an enormous problem for opponents because instead of having two or three weapons that need to be stopped, they have five or six.
In the second semifinal, the No. 2 seed, defending champion Glenlawn will take on third-seeded Miles Macdonell at 8 p.m.
The Lions were 68-46 winners over Fort Richmond, while the Buckeyes pulled away late to defeat Westwood 80-66.
Miles Mac coach Karl Schroeder has been working with his current group of Grade 11 players, which includes his daughter Julia, since many of them were 10 years old.
"They're like an extension of my family," he said. "This group has been together for a very long time, and we have three really special Grade 12s who provide the missing links of leadership."
The Buckeyes have been near the top of the provincial rankings all season long, and expected to challenge for a championship.
"The girls have a real commitment to each other," Schroeder said. "They have a lot of talent, but they're also willing to work. They have a wonderful work ethic."
Co-coach Erin Drazic said the focus against the Lions wouldn't be a secret: the Buckeyes will need to figure out how to slow down Emily Potter, Glenlawn's dominant inside player.
"Our focus will be defence and rebounding," Drazic said. "If we do that, the offence usually takes care of itself."
The semifinal winners will play for the provincial title on Monday at 6 p.m., followed by the boys' final at 8 p.m.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/4/2013 (1603 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Even with a restaurant to run, you know Obby Khan couldn't stay away from the football field for long.
This season, the former Bomber will join the University of Manitoba Bisons coaching staff, helping offensive-line coach Terry Watson bring up the next generation of potential CFL stars. The addition has been a long time coming, Bisons coach Brian Dobie said: Khan has been around the Bisons program for years, calling recruits and doling out advice to players and staff.
"It almost started as a threat," Dobie chuckled. "'Obby, when you're finished playing, you're coaching with us.' That's how it started... I think the beauty of bringing Obby Khan onto staff is the insight that he brings. You can't buy experience."
It's a part-time, volunteer gig -- Khan's hip Exchange District joint, Shawarma Khan, will take up the lion's share of his days, especially as he readies to open a satellite location at Investors Group Field to dish out pitas during Bomber games. Still, the nine-season CFL veteran said the move could be the bridge to a deeper coaching career.
"I hope I'm here for a long time," Khan said, decked out in Bisons duds at a press conference on Tuesday. "I think a lot of mentoring the young guys, showing them the ropes, and for the older guys, showing them what it takes to take their game to the next level."
The move to the Bisons coaching corps is the culmination of a raincheck, of sorts. Last year, Khan signed on as an assistant offensive-line co-ordinator for the U of M, but had to bail when he came out of a brief CFL retirement to shore up the injury-riddled Calgary Stampeders as they made a run to the Grey Cup Final.
The Stamps released Khan in March. But while that may mean Khan's retirement is back on, he isn't taking anything off the table yet. Helping out the Bisons will be his focus, he said, but if a CFL GM comes calling, he'll listen. "Being around these young players might help rejuvenate some of these old bones," the 32-year-old quipped.
"I have no desire of going to training camp right now... But that being said, if somebody gets hurt in week eight, nine or 10 and they need an old veteran who can kind of of snap a ball still, then maybe I'll go."
Herd signs four
local recruits
THE addition of Obby Khan to the coaching staff wasn't the only big news for the University of Manitoba Bisons football team on Tuesday. The team also invited media to watch as four local recruits -- defensive backs Jayden McKoy, Braedy Will and Houston Rennie and receiver Kurt Goodrich -- signed their commitment to join the club for the upcoming season.
The foursome includes two Miles Macdonell Collegiate students in McKoy and Rennie. McKoy, the Miles Mac team captain last year playing a variety of positions, was the 2012 Winnipeg High School Football League's Offensive Player of the Year, and led the league in scoring, interceptions and defensive touchdowns. Rennie is a two-time provincial team member who put up 27 tackles, four interceptions and six sacks last season.
Will, 17, was a Potter Division all-star with the Oak Park High School team last year, and led the league in interceptions in 2011.
Goodrich is returning to the Bisons program after redshirting with the team in 2010. The 20-year-old then moved to join the Winnipeg Rifles. He was named Prairie Football Conference all-star and Rookie of the Year in his first season, where he caught 33 passes for 526 yards and seven touchdowns. He was injured for much of the 2012 season.

45 Sunglasses to Update Your Look
Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau, the Palm Beach designer and socialite whose tropical-colored resort wear became a status symbol of preppy culture, died Sunday at 81. With her vibrant floral prints (and other whimsical patterns), Pulitzer's shift dress—known simply as a "Lilly"—was a favorite of the rich and famous for decades. From Jackie Kennedy to Suri Cruise, Lilly Pulitzer brought Worth Avenue to the world. "I designed collections around whatever struck my fancy…fruits, vegetables, politics or peacocks," she said of her style in a 2009 interview. "It was a total change of life for me, but it made people happy."
In 1952, Lilly McKim, a New York heiress, eloped with Herbert "Peter" Pulitzer Jr., the grandson of publishing legend Joseph Pulitzer, and moved to Palm Beach. "When I first met Lilly," her friend Laura Clark told Vanity Fair in 2003," she and Peter were the most gorgeous couple you ever saw. Walking down Worth Avenue in their bare feet, and Lilly with her gold hoop earrings, they looked like a pair of gypsies. It was the time of the twist, and when they got up on the dance floor everybody stopped to watch."

Race Against Hunger Off to a Record Start
This year, the Race Against Hunger promises to be bigger than ever. A national service-learning campaign to educate students about the symptoms and underlying causes of global hunger and malnutrition, the Race also raises vital funds for Action Against Hunger's life-saving programs around the world.
The program has come a long way since its inception in 2008, when 500 students in four Chicago-area schools participated. Seventy-eight schools from 22 states have already signed up for this year's Race, more than double the number of schools enrolled by this time last year.
"The people of Burundi will be able to buy two water pumps so they can have clean drinking and bathing water. It makes me feel so good that I was a part of the effort." —Tyrel, Student, Glenmont Alternative Program
"It's unbelievable how much this program has grown in three short years and how much enthusiasm we've seen from students and teachers," said Melinda Lee, Action Against Hunger's Student Outreach Coordinator.
The Race Against Hunger couples classroom learning activities with a "fun run," a walk or run that each school typically hosts during the spring semester. In anticipation of the fun run, students are encouraged to become an integral part of the fight against hunger by soliciting sponsorships from friends, family members, and neighbors to benefit Action Against Hunger's humanitarian programs in more than 40 countries.
Classes that enroll in the program receive a Hunger Guide for Teachers containing subject-based activities, visual materials for discussion and classroom display, and a case study about the context in a particular country. This year, students will learn about the Afghan culture, its people, climate, and the country's nutritional situation.
The subject-based learning activities are designed to meet curriculum requirements. For example, the activity planned for English classes involves peer editing; developing and supporting clear, focused ideas; and demonstrating understanding of the subject matter at hand through the incorporation of vocabulary.
Last year, in addition to discussing poverty and hunger in Burundi, students learned how far even a small amount of money can go toward providing access to safe water and long-term solutions to hunger. Then, they put their new-found knowledge into action through the fun run.
"After seeing the video about those in Burundi and how they live, [I realized] I couldn't live like that," said Tyrel, a 14 year-old at the Glenmont Alternative Program. "Glenmont has raised more than $200 in one week to donate to the cause. The people of Burundi will be able to buy two water pumps so they can have clean drinking and bathing water. It makes me feel so good that I was a part of the effort."
The class activities—which often begin with a presentation by an Action Against Hunger representative—and the fun run are designed to be flexible; they can be completed in one day, over one week, or even over the course of a whole month, depending on the teacher's preference.
In some places, the Race Against Hunger has become a community-wide activity.
P.S. #5 in Patterson, NJ put together a day-long event for their entire town, attended by the mayor, sheriff and other prominent community members. They joined 600 students in opening the Race Against Hunger with a street parade and other festivities.
Meanwhile, the Coretta Scott King Magnet School in University Park, Illinois, asked Eric and Kathy, who have a morning show on 101.9 FM, for their support.
"They showed up with two members of the Road Crew, chap stick for everyone, a van, a tent, music, [and snacks] for all the kids," recalled Betsy Crawford, the school's Race coordinator. "[They] gave us the name of their contact at Vitamin Water, who also showed up with a van and tent and enough Vitamin Water for all participants, and then some!"
With an increasing number of participating schools every year, the Race continues to raise awareness, educate, and tap into the students' potential to become powerful agents of change.
"Sometimes, middle school students struggle to see beyond the microcosm of their own 'world,' but through activities such as the Race Against Hunger, which is truly engaging and educational, our students have developed the capacity to care about others, not only in their own community, but in our global community," added Deirdre Lavery, the Principal of Glasgow Middle School in Alexandria, VA.
Learn more about the Race Against Hunger and contact the Race Against Hunger team to find out how your local school can participate.

More guideposts on our journey of prevention!
This week we have a guest preventionista! Liz Zadnik shares her perspectives on the recently released article, A Systematic Qualitative Review of Risk and Protective Factors for Sexual Violence Perpetration (Trauma, Violence, & Abuse December 2012).
A recently-released review of 191 studies has pulled together some potential risk factors for sexual violence perpetration. I don't know about you, but words like systematic review and theoretical framework get this preventionista's heart a flutter!! As soon as I could get my hands on this article it was as good as read! I thought I would share some of the highlights with you all.
Here we go!
1. In my opinion, the individual- and relationship-level factors present the most promising information for prevention programming.
· Parent-child relationships had some influence on perpetration of child sexual abuse and sexual violence. This could point to the need for programs that support parents in having honest discussions with children and engage parents in violence prevention.
· Empathy-building in prevention programs may have some mitigating effects when combined with other protective factors. This may mean that building in an empathy component to bystander intervention strategies could have a positive impact.
· Among high school boys, "emotional health and connectedness" were protective factors against perpetration – highlighting the need to promote a wider range of emotional expression in programs with young men.
2. The article really highlights some important areas for further exploration.
· Prevention research may want to start incorporating the lessons learned from youth violence prevention research. A combination of feminist theory and youth violence developmental approach could produce some mega-innovative findings.
· Research and programming need to expand in a number of areas: engaging community men (not men on a college campus), individuals in the military, female perpetrators, and LGBTQ communities. Each of these groups has been left out of research, and programming overall, but could enrich our work by leaps and bounds.
3. As we might all have known, there is limited research on community- and society-level risk and protective factors.
As with any and all empirical or academic research, there are limitations and considerations. Lots of studies focus on campus populations, youth, and specific communities. Does this mean these findings represent everyone? No. Does this mean they're no longer useful? No way! I think this review, as well as others like it and more to come, offer a great roadmap of our journey toward a world free from sexual violence. The more we can experiment and develop new programs and prevention initiatives, the more we'll know about what works.
Did you read the study, dear preventionist? What were your thoughts or highlights?
Who am I?
Liz Zadnik, Education & Resource Coordinator for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape. I've been with PCAR for almost three years now, but I've worked in violence prevention and reproductive justice for close to six. I'm stoked to be a guest blogger for Preventionista – I hope my thoughts and perspectives can start some productive conversations.

Almost everyone knows that salamanders can regenerate many limbs after their amputation. Just as the lost tail of a lizard is replaced, the limbs of salamanders are also replaced when they lose them.
This feature seen in some living beings in nature is called "regeneration." Regeneration is a trait peculiar to some certain tissues in living beings. Periodical regeneration of skin and blood cells and the harmed parts of liver can be cited as examples. However all these are limited to certain parts of the body.
The limb of a salamander is fully formed in approximately 40 days. Furthermore the bone grows to its original length and structure. Nerves, muscles, skin, bone, distribution of veins, in brief all tissues take their original forms intact.
Blastema 'programming backwards'
Recent experiments indicate that in an area of few millimeters cells program themselves backwards shortly after amputation. That is, cells in this region acquire traits similar to stem cells.
All tissues that will form the bone, connective tissue, muscle and the new limb acquire a new structure. This clump of cells which is essential for regeneration is called blastema.
The existence of nerves is essential
For the regeneration to occur the existence of nerves is essential. If all nerves in a salamander's limb were taken off before amputation, the regeneration would never occur.
But something astonishing happens at this point; if the main nerve in the limb is surgically removed and connected to a wound next to the limb, a new limb starts to grow on this point.
Cells aware of the right direction
This flawless and perfect mechanism of regeneration that scientists are unable to explain led them to make further experiments to better understand the process.
In one of the experiments the regenerated area is attached to the opposite direction. For instance the limb is attached to the animal's back. Sometime later when they cut the limb at any point, both of the limbs grew into equal lengths and structure. That is the new limb always grows into the same direction and structure according to the body's axle.
Hormones always have a vital importance for body development in living beings. Hypophysis gland is the section of the brain that secretes hormones. It is observed that those salamanders whose hypophysis is removed from their brains do not have the trait of regeneration. This indicates that a deficiency in only one part of the body renders the whole system functionless. That is, for the regeneration of the salamander's lost limb, the traits that exist as a program should definitely be intact. The absence of a single one of these traits renders this astonishing and perfect system dysfunctional.
Chance cannot account for this glorious system
This phenomena has no explanation from the Darwinists perspective since they come up with the claim that living beings evolved through chance. They claim that traits of living beings evolved gradually in a time span of millions of years. The fact is however, no matter which living being we examine in nature, even the absence of one of its traits renders the whole system functionless. Consequently it is impossible for such a structure to have been evolved by chance.
For instance the absence of the salamander's nerves or the hypophysis in his brain renders regeneration impossible. All the systems and traits All Mighty Allah created in this living being must be intact simultaneously. Even the absence of a single one of them renders it futile. It is All Mighty Allah, Who with His infinite Might of creating, encodes those traits in every single cell of that living being and gives whatever characteristics He wills.
Our Lord created perfectly functioning programs in the bodies of every living being. If the regeneration system were absent in living beings life would be impossible. For instance the slightest harm occurring on human body could lead to a life-threatening situation. When the skin is injured, a process of maintenance is initiated on the surface of the skin and a special defense system enters the equation in order to protect the skin against microbes and infections. If such a perfect defense system were non-existent in the body, subsequent fatal physical incidents would occur in the body.
All Mighty Allah created all living beings with their perfect systems
It is Allah Who creates living beings with an amazing artistry, keeps them at a particular balance and creates them from nothingness with His superior Might. Allah is al-Hayy, the One Who creates the death and life. It is not adequate for a living being to have all its systems intact in order to be alive. In order to be alive, it needs the soul that our Lord, al-Hayy, grants to that being. As long as our Lord does not give soul to a body that has all its organs intact, that body will never have life. Flesh, bones, liver and other organs put together are insufficient for life. It is our Lord, All Mighty Allah, Who endows life to every single molecule in its cells.
Allah shows us that He is able to create infinite beauties in this world with such examples. He makes us ponder upon them. Our All Mighty Allah also displays the deficiencies of this life of this world which He creates to put us to test. Every example of creation in this world is an instrument our Lord creates to make us to think about the Hereafter and the superiority of Allah's artistry in creation.
Our Lord shows these amazing features of living beings as signs of faith. In Surat al- Baqara verse 269 our Lord states: "He gives wisdom to whoever He wills and he who has been given wisdom has been given great good. But no one pays heed but people of intelligence."
For wisdom to occur, reason, an inner-eye and a sensitive heart are essential. As our Lord states in one verse, only those who turn to Allah can assess what they see independently and with an open conscience. They are the ones who take heed from the beings created by Allah, grasp the wisdom in them and recognize the truth.

We are ecstatic to have Jessica Shirvington stopping by the blog today. We loved her book Embrace and cannot wait until it is finally out so everyone else can read this fantastic story.
1. What changes –if any, did you make from the Australian version to the American version?
The changes were minimal on the whole. Obviously we changed around the Australian spelling to fit with American. Then there were some interesting changes to terminology that is different between countries – things like sneakers vs. trainers, or coffee machine vs. espresso machine, cookies vs. biscuits. The editors were very thorough in ensuring the terminology was correct for the US market.
We also changed around some of the school references so it correlated more with the American school year and vacation periods.
On top of that, I was given the opportunity to add a couple of lines here and there that I'd had enough time to reflect on and decide would better the story. It was fabulous to have that chance, and likewise, my editors highlighted one or two scenes that they wanted to have an additional line added or taken out.
2. Are there any differences between the way Australia and American promote books; and if so what do you like or dislike about them?
Actually, it is pretty similar. Books, on a worldwide level are in a state of constant development. Publishers and authors have the opportunity at the moment to be part of new and exciting projects that involve ebooks and digital advancements. I think the key to promoting any book is to embrace these new elements whilst respecting the tradition of books we all love, and go for it.
I've been really lucky to have amazing publishers and publicists within both countries. The difference is probably more to do with scale. Australian population vs. American population is quite different. Sourcebooks in the US have been absolutely incredible and since I am not physically there – we've had to work around that together. The solution has been to partake in a lot of online development – which is really where most of the YA focus is anyway – and to have author videos etc produced. I'll be over in the US later in the year and am looking forward to having a chance to visit as many cities as possible then!
3. Violet believes she has found the love of her life at 17- do you believe it's possible to find your true love at a young age?
Given that I met the man I've now been married to for 11 years at the age of 17, I'd have to say … absolutely. Age doesn't define our capacity to love.
4. How did Sourcebooks come across Embrace?
My publishers in Australia sent the manuscript to Sourcebooks to consider for US publication. Leah – my amazing editor – was on the hunt for YA potential and so took a look at it. She explained to me that the covering letter had gone missing, so when she started reading it she wasn't sure what it was all about. She started reading on her way home on the subway and ended up missing her stop. Not good for her at the time, but great for me!
5. What has been your favorite read this year?
I tend to steer clear of YA books that a on similar subject matter as my own, so I have been reading quite a lot of magic and dystopian. I thought Divergent, by Veronica Roth, lived up to the hype. Where She Went, by Gale Foreman, made me cry – it was beautiful. And, though it wasn't this year, I'll always be a fan of Maria V. Snyder's, Study Series.
6. Favorite place to write?
Serious work is always best achieved by locking myself into my office (which is actually the dining room at home), scene details can be more interesting to write out and about – I have a few local coffee shops I haunt. In truth, anywhere that coffee is plentiful and my mind is feeling cooperative!

What the Little Black Dress is to a woman, a great suit is to a man. You must own one.
This article was originally published on dmarge.com
What the Little Black Dress is to women, a great suit is to men. You must own one. It must be a good one. And you must wear it with the pride, confidence, and complete awesomeness of men like Draper and Bond. Here are 10 best suits to add to your wardrobe.
1. J.Crew Ludlow Suit
Pick your flavour: British khaki, indigo, or grey. The Ludlow Suit from J.Crew can be found in whichever color suits your style, with classic features like a hand-finished collar, Irish linen from Baird McNutt, a full Bemberg lining, and a signature two and a half inch lapel.
Price: $298
Buy from: www.jcrew.com.au
2. Suitsupply Sienna Grey Check
When in doubt, turn to Suitsupply. The Sienna Grey Check suit, like all that Suitsupply has to offer, is damn nice to look at (which, by extension, makes you damn nice to look at when you're in it). Pair it with a crisp and subtle shirt for a chic look. Great value for money.
Price: $615
Buy from: Suitsupply
3. Dior Homme Pinstriped Virgin Wool Suit
Ever have that feeling that your wardrobe is missing something, but you're not sure what? It might be the Dior Homme Pinstriped Virgin Wool Suit, a seriously striking navy number with a pointed collar, tortoisehell buttons, and full lining. The best off-the-shelf Harvey Spectre suit.
Information: www.brownsfashion.com
4. Gucci Brera Slim-Fit Wool Suit
Every time I see something like Gucci's Brera Slim-Fit Wool Suit, I'm reminded of how much I love grey suits. It's timeless and versatile, but a tad more interesting than your standard black number. This luxury take on the grey suit features a slim fit and classic two button design.
Price: $1500
Buy from: www.mrporter.com
5. Saint Laurent Micro Pied de Poule Suit
Saint Laurent is one of those incredible designers that seems to have fashion's version of the Midas touch. Anything the label touches turns to gold, sartorially speaking. The simple charcoal Micro Pied de Poule Suit shouldn't be anything special, but in the hands of Saint Laurent, it is. For the suave Parisian men.
Price: $2095
Buy from: www.matchesfashion.com
6. Burberry London Slim-Fit Cotton And Linen-Blend Suit
The bold summer color of Burberry London's Slim-Fit Cotton And Linen-Blend Suit is a knockout. It isn't always easy to look sharp in the heat, but Burberry London makes it effortless with a breathable, blue and grey striped cotton and linen-blend.
Price: $732
Buy from: www.mrporter.com
7. Suitsupply Copenhagen Beige Plain
Beige gets a bad rap. Somewhere along the line it became synonymous with boring, but I think the Suitsupply Copenhagen Beige Plain suit proves it's anything but. The Copenhagen is a casual, unstructured suit with a natural shoulder, slim notch lapel, and shorter jacket length.
Price: $450
Buy from: Suitsupply
8. Kenzo Costume Elbow-Insert Single-Breasted Suit
Just a little daring, but still totally wearable. Anything that can strike that balance earns top marks in my book. Kenzo's Costume Elbow-Insert Single-Breasted Suit is made from taupe wool with contrasting khaki-brown and white micro-print side and elbow inserts.
Price: $920
Buy from: www.matchesfashion.com
9. M.J. Bale Colmar Sharkskin Denim Suit
Don't be fooled – there is no actual denim involved in the 100% Superfine Australian Merino Wool Colmar Sharkskin Denim Suit. The name is merely a nod to its groovy shade of blue that's guaranteed to catch eyes, turn heads, and set a few hearts a-flutter.
Price: $1245
Buy from: www.mjbale.com
10. John Varvatos Double-Breasted Linen Suit
John Varvatos does not design for the wallflowers of the world. A Varvatos man is expected to have the best poise, panache, and confidence to pull off the four-button jacket and silk tuxedo striped trousers of the Double-Breasted Linen Suit.
Price: $1675
Buy from: www.matchesfashion.com

Nov 22-Nov 29 Drop Off for TAUNYs Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Competition Entries
Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY) will be accepting gingerbread house entries for the Annual Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Competition and Display from November 22nd - November 29th during business hours (Monday-Friday 10:00 am-5:00 pm & Saturday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm). The theme for this years competition is Camps and Cottages. TAUNY invites bakers to get creative and imagine the camp or cottage of their dreams, build a model of their own camp or cottage, recreate a landmark, or find their own way to interpret this years theme to craft their own unique gingerbread house.
The 2016 Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Contest and Display will open at the organizations Annual Holiday Open House on Saturday, December 3 from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm at The TAUNY Center.
Sugar & Spice entries must be made of gingerbread baked from scratch and be entirely edible. All entries must be dropped off at The TAUNY Center in downtown Canton between Tuesday, November 22 - Tuesday, November 29. A registration form will include space for a brief description of the gingerbread house and/or a statement from the artist. Entries will be accepted and prizes awarded in four categories: adult (ages 18+), youth (12-17 with no adult help), children (under 12 with minimal adult help), and family/youth/community group. Entries created by groups are encouraged. Interested participants who wish to display their work, but not enter the competition are also welcome. More information is available at tauny.org.
Since 2002, contestants from throughout the region have competed annually in various age categories as well as for the People's Choice award, which is announced at the end of December. Past themes have included local landmarks, fairy tales, childrens literature, and gingerbread around the world.
The 2016 Sugar & Spice exhibit and contest are supported by underwriting from Stewarts Shops and The UPS Store, Potsdam.
