|Behavioral: Caring for Women Veterans
Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this project was to develop and evaluate a computerized program that would enhance Veterans Health Administration (VHA) employees� awareness of women veterans and their health-care needs. The program was designed to challenge negative stereotypes about female patients (gender-role ideology), increase empathy toward female patients� needs (gender sensitivity), and enhance knowledge regarding women veterans and aspects of their VHA care (knowledge).
Phases I involved generating content for the computerized interactive program. Phase II involved creating the 30-minute program. The Phase III evaluation of the program involved a two-group pretest�posttest�follow-up equivalent control group design at two facilities with a third facility comparison group. At the first two facilities, employees who provide either direct or ancillary care to patients were randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group. Participants in the treatment group completed the program entitled Caring for Women Veterans. Participants in the control group and those at the third site completed a 30-minute program entitled Managing Stress. The data from the third site were included to test for infusion of the treatment effect within same-site groups. Gender awareness was evaluated at three time points using the Gender Awareness Inventory-VA (GAI-VA). Participants completed the GAI-VA several weeks prior to completing the computerized program (Time 1, n =339), immediately after completing the program (Time 2, n = 249), and approximately one month after the program (Time 3, n = 167). Participants also completed a qualitative evaluation of the program at Time 2.

Historical BackgroundThe Guana Tolomato
Matanzas ecosystem was identified as the preferred
site by a committee of scientists, environmental
educators and coastal managers for its potential for
scientific research, environmental education
opportunities and its relative pristine condition.
It was officially designated in 1999.
Physical Features
GTM Research Reserve is flat and low, ranging from sea level to 40 foot dunes. The Tolomato, Guana and Matanzas
River estuaries form a system of bar-bounded estuaries that extend south from Jacksonville to south of Marineland
in Flagler County.
Archaeological Resources
There are currently 61 recorded archaeological sites within the boundaries directly managed by GTM Research Reserve,
including a burial mound, numerous shell middens, a Spanish mission and homestead sites.
Natural Communities
GTM Research Reserve contains natural communities ranging from oceanic to estuarine to freshwater
and from wetlands to
Native Species GTM Research
Reserve is located on the boundary of temperate and
tropical habitats, giving it an enormous diversity
of species. A species list recently compiled for
Guana River Marsh Aquatic Preserve indicated the
presence of at least 44 mammal, 358 bird, 41
reptile, 21 amphibian, 303 fish and 580 plant
Listed Species
GTM Research Reserve contains critical habitat for 48 animal and 8 plant species that are listed as endangered,
threatened or of special concern.
Invasive and Problem Species
Invasive species are those wild or feral plants or animals that are not native to Florida, but were
introduced as a result of human-related activities and have become a threat to natural communities. The best
strategy to protect GTM Research Reserve's natural resources from invasive species is prevention.
Guana River Marsh Aquatic Preserve
Guana River Marsh Aquatic Preserve is between
Jacksonville and St. Augustine and houses the
Environmental Education Center of GTM Research
Reserve. The preserve includes approximately 28,000
acres of wetlands and open water and 11,500 acres of
Pellicer Creek Aquatic Preserve
Pellicer Creek Aquatic Preserve is a small preserve
(only 505 acres) along the border between Flagler and
St. Johns counties that drains into the Matanzas

Folks, I've got a question about how you want RoboDoug to score wins.
Last year - and in all previous years - if RoboDoug won, the first runner up also got credit for a win. Mainly 'cause RoboDoug was my own little fun thing.
When I re-coded RoboDoug this year, I didn't put that in. As it stands now, if RoboDoug wins, the humans are S.O.L.
It's not a great deal of effort to go make the change, but I though I would ask you first which way you wanted it.
Hence this poll. (Hopefully I won't screw up the posting of this poll. I've never done one before.)
Anyway, vote whichever way you want, and that's the way it shall be.

text: I-64 gas stop sparks book on obscure W.Va. Civil War battle By Rick Steelhammer May 19, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Eric Wittenberg was driving back to his home in Columbus, Ohio, from a speaking engagement in Virginia when the author crossed the West Virginia line, noticed that his gas gauge was approaching empty, and took the exit ramp at White Sulphur Springs to fill up."At the edge of the gas station's parking lot, there was a historic marker for the Battle of Dry Creek -- a battle I wasn't familiar with," Wittenberg recalled. "While I was waiting for my wife to come out of the convenience store, I wandered over to read it."Wittenberg was surprised to learn that the federal force involved in the 1863 battle was led by Gen. William Woods Averell, a Union cavalry officer he had researched and written about in producing his 2006 book, "The Union Cavalry Comes of Age: Hartwood Church to Brandy Station."After reading the sign, Wittenberg said he realized that "maybe I didn't know as much about Averell as I should have."Wittenberg, the author of "The Battle of White Sulphur Springs: Averell Fails to Secure West Virginia," and a leading authority on Civil War cavalry operations, will be the guest speaker during a Kanawha Valley Civil War Roundtable meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday in South Charleston Public Library.The bloody, two-day battle on the outskirts of White Sulphur Springs during the summer of 1863 is the topic of Wittenberg's free public lecture.Wittenberg's connection with the battle began in February of 2010, with the refueling stop along Interstate 64.As his trip home continued, Wittenberg stopped at Tamarack and bought a copy of Tim McKinney's "The Civil War in Greenbrier County" to begin researching a fiercely fought battle that was known by a variety of names, including the Battle of Rocky Gap, the Battle of Dry Creek, the Battle of Howard's Creek, the Battle of White Sulphur Springs and the Battle of the Law Books. The last name for the engagement stems from the main objective of Averell's mission -- to seize the contents of the Virginia Supreme Court's law library, housed in the Greenbrier County Courthouse in Lewisburg.Before the Civil War broke out, Virginia's Supreme Court met at least once each year in Western Virginia, where, for the sake of convenience, a law library identical to the one in Richmond was maintained in Lewisburg. The law library was needed in Wheeling to help the newly formed state of West Virginia create the framework for its own Supreme Court of Appeals.Averell, a West Point graduate and wounded Indian Wars cavalry veteran, served with distinction during the Peninsula and Seven Days campaigns in Virginia in 1862. He was named commander of the Army of the Potomac's 1st Cavalry Brigade, which he led during the Fredericksburg Campaign later that year. In 1863, he led the 2nd Division of the Cavalry Corps to victory in the Battle of Kelly's Ford, but a few months later, took part in Stoneman's Raid during the Chancellorsville Campaign, an action that proved to be a disaster for the Union.Gen. Joseph Hooker relieved Averell of his command for a perceived lack of aggressiveness during the raid. "I think Averell got a raw deal," Wittenberg said. "He did nothing wrong, in my opinion." Averell was sent to what became the new state of West Virginia to take over command of the 4th Separate Brigade, a mish-mash of mounted infantry, infantry and artillery units."Averell took command of these infantry regiments and, in just a few weeks, turned them into effective cavalry," Wittenberg said. "They had to learn to march and fight in formation. It's supposed to take months to train cavalry. Averell did it in just a few short weeks before he was ordered to Lewisburg."In August 1863, Averell's force of 1,300 cavalry, infantry and artillery units was ordered to seize the law library at Lewisburg and destroy a section of the Virginia-Tennessee Central Railroad in nearby Virginia. After passing through Huntersville in Pocahontas County, the Union force made its way to the eastern edge of White Sulphur Springs on Aug. 26 via a narrow, boulder-rimmed canyon known as Rocky Gap. There, they encountered a force of 2,000 Confederates under the command of Col. George Patton, a Charleston lawyer and the grandfather of the famed World War II general of the same name.The larger Confederate forces repelled several attempts by Averell's men to break through their lines and move on toward their objective in Lewisburg. Fighting, including several cavalry charges and artillery duels, continued throughout the afternoon and into the next morning. Averell, concerned that the ammunition supply of his greatly outnumbered force was nearly depleted, broke off the attack and organized a retreat."It was a toe-to-toe slugging match for a day and a half, with heavy casualties on both sides," Wittenberg said. "It was a neighbor-versus-neighbor type of fight, with most of the soldiers coming from West Virginia. Most of the Confederate force came from the Charleston area."While Wittenberg believes Averell made the correct decision to withdraw, "it was a Confederate victory, both tactically and strategically."Union losses were 26 killed, 125 wounded and 67 captured. The Confederates lost 20 killed, 129 wounded and 18 missing.Among the Union dead was Averell's aide-de-camp, Capt. Paul von Koenig, a German baron who came to the United States with his brother at the start of the war, initially serving with a New York infantry regiment. "He died leading a cavalry charge," Wittenberg said. "Trying to figure out his life story, and how he came to be in this battle, has been a fascinating part of researching this book."Later in 1863, troops under Averell's command were victorious in the Battle of Droop Mountain. But in 1864, during the Valley Campaign in Virginia, Averell was again relieved of his command, after failing to meet the expectations of Gen. Phil Sheridan."But don't feel too sorry for him," Wittenberg said. "After the war, he patented an asphalt paving process that made him very wealthy."Reach Rick Steelhammer at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5169.

SWINDON drama students are getting connected next week with two new plays they hope will go national.
The New College students are taking part in the National Connections annual event, which involves more than 230 young theatre groups in the UK.
The idea behind Connections is to recognise new plays for young people, written by contemporary playwrights. The celebration of youth theatre is set up by the National Theatre and supported by the Arts Council England.
The One Act Drama Showcase is on Wednesday, February 6, and Thursday, February 7, at the Phoenix Theatre, New College, and both plays are directed by Matthew Clift.
The students are staging Tomorrow I'll Be Happy, a play about a stranger in a crumbling seaside town who finds his friend has been killed in a homophobic hate crime.
The play will be performed again at the partner theatre, Salisbury Playhouse, on May 3. If they are selected the students will perform at the National Theatre for the Connections Festival from July 3-8.
On the same bill at the Phoenix Theatre in Swindon, A-level drama students are presenting their entry for this year's Harold Jolliffe One Act Play Festival called Strings. The festival is part of the All England Theatre Festival and runs at the Swindon Arts Centre from Thursday, April 11, to Saturday, April 13.
This play was written by the students themselves.
The showcase begins at 7pm. Tickets are £5 on the door or from email@example.com.

Saved: Why doctor's orders almost killed me
How did I go from a medicine-only doctor to become a natural health specialist who created over 30 products that empower you to feel, look and live better?
It started with my own health nightmare. Blindly following a mainstream doctor's orders cost me a fortune, mutilated my body and nearly killed me. For years, I suffered from ulcerative colitis and constant abdominal pain. As a traditionally-trained, M.D., I was taught that drugs and surgery were my options. So I went down the path of pumping drugs into my body and having surgery. The result? These traditional treatments left me in a nighttime diaper at age 33.
I want you to know my story because I'm not only an M.D., but a real person who's life has been permanently changed by an intestinal disease. Had I taken steps to support my health during those early times of distress, it's likely I could have avoided this dire situation.
Once I discovered the awesome self-healing, rejuvenating, naturally-slimming power of a health-promoting diet, productive lifestyle choices and natural herbs and supplements, I began a quest to learn everything I could about this.
I challenge YOU to do the same, STARTING TODAY!

Now more than ever, today's teachers are grappling with the question of how to reach struggling readers. While there are no quick fixes, thousands of teachers are combining the principles of differentiated instruction and guided reading with unparalleled success. Mixed in the right proportion, these popular strategies will help you build a balanced literary framework that gets results with even the most challenged learners.
Differentiated instruction tactics will help you understand how your students learn so you can teach in a way that makes sense to them. When you apply those tactics within the guided reading framework, which helps you lead students through new ways of approaching text, great things start to happen. The result is a classroom full of students who are able to negotiate increasingly challenging texts with unprecedented fluency.
This course is critical for today's educators, who often have to teach on the run with limited resources and unlimited demands on their time. Get ready to reach your readers with ease in no time flat!
Note: To receive 25 hours of instruction in the State of Oregon, please ensure your school is eligible to issue professional development units, and that the course is approved by your professional learning coordinator.
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.

Wow, I loved this chapter!! Thank you, Marsha. I would love to meet you and share experiences. My goal at school this year has been to try to get my teachers to buy into differentiation of instruction. "NO TIME! NO TIME!" This is the common theme. Thank you for giving such quick practical suggestions that can be implemented in five minutes or fifty minutes, teacher's choice! For those of you who are not currently teaching, this course has been one of the most logical and practical that I have had. Start now making things for your future classrooms. I believe I remember one of my classmates used these ideas with their own children.
For me, the most beneficial part of the class was the assignments. I could go right back to my class the next day and I had something to do with the class that I knew was meaningful and beneficial to my students and me. The kids loved helping me with my "homework" and I think it served as an excellent example of being a lifelong learner…I feel much better about myself as a reading teacher and I know taking this class will help me better meet the needs of my students…I will definitely recommend ed2go and this instructor to others.
I really enjoyed this class. It confirmed a lot of Guided Reading Strategies that I already use, but taught me so much about Differentiated Instruction that I did not know. It was excellent and I will recommend this course to others. This instructor's class was tough but awesome! It really took effort, which it should.
This class was very helpful to me. I like the instructor's presentation and style. After reading the lesson I was encouraged and eager to try out new techniques with my students. I highly recommed this class to other teachers and would absolutely take another class with this instructor. Thank you!
This class provided me with many strategies and techniques I could use not only in my classroom, but for my children as well. It reiterated the importance of Bloom's Taxonomy and Gardner's multiple intelligence theory as well as many others. I enjoyed reading through and printing materials from the supplemental websites that the teacher recommended. It gave me great ideas to not only use in the classroom but also at home with my children. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this class. The instructor is a master teacher. Her writing and information were well planned and easy to follow. The examples given were easy to understand and relate to. It was an excellent experience.
Fabulous course! I have been teaching for 20 plus years and I still learned so much. Thank you!
The course answered the questions I had about improving my instruction of literature. Being an older teacher, I want to keep with the current teachings, and this class did just that.
I thought the instructor did a great job. Lots of good ideas!!
The instructor was well versed in strategies from K through 12. She had great suggestions for all student abilities.

Topic: Unresectable to Resectable?
My name is Nikki and my father (age 57) was diagnosed with a Klatskim tumor (4 cm) back in September. In October he had surgery, but was told that because the tumor was wrapped around the hepatic artery, they could not safely remove it. He is starting a clinical trial next week at Dana Farber. The clinical trial is the use of Gemcitabine, Oxaliplantin and Panitumumab. We are praying that the tumor detaches itself from the artery, so it can be resected.
I wanted to know if anyone was initially told they were unresectable, but then was able to have surgery because of good results from chemo/radiation.

I need some advice from people/runners I don't know but that know running/runners and what's normal. I turned 53 in February, I weight almost 220 pouns (219.2 this a.m.), I have cycled for a couple years and mountain biked since the mid 90's. My weight has varied in that time from 270 - 203 to 230 to 219. My overall health is great, slightly high cholesterol but that's it. I had the cartilage removed from my left knee in high school, 37 years ago, and I have 3 herniated discs. I started running last year but the back issues started then (not running related) also so they slowed me down but didn't stop me. This year I am feeling better and running more. I did a 10K weekend before last on almost flat ground at 5,000' elevation in 1 hour 7 minutes. My best 5k time is just under 33 minutes. I have entered a challenging 10k trail race and a good friend who has coached high school and others for years has offered his assistance helping me train. What should I realistically expect? Are those times normal or below normal times for my shape? Oh, I'm 6'1". Should I realistically ever expect a LOT of improvement? Thanks in advance for any replies.
Not sure what to expect
Thanks Piwi Kiwi. That's what I plan to continue doing. And running and running.
Losing weight should also help your back problems. I would recommend you talk to your doctor or physical therapist and find some exercises that you can do for your core that will not aggravate your herniated disks. Once your core is stronger, you will find your endurance improve steadily. That will help you lose weight and get faster. You can definitely expect some improvement in your 5k and 10k times, with consistent training, but your times are very good for your experience level with running.
Running on technical trails is as much about agility and coordination as speed or fitness. That is why trail races often have first aid kits at the aid stations. You can't really compare trail times to road times. Even on fairly level trails, if they are rocky I slow down by about a minute per mile.
Like happyscientist said, you can expect to be slower on the trails for sure. Don't take that as a bad thing, it's just the nature of the beast!
If you haven't spent much time running trails, I HIGHLY recommend you train on them before your race. You'll use different muscles, you'll have to be more attentive to what is going on around you and you'll likely also have to change your stride from how you run on the road. Depending on your normal technique, you'll likely need to shorten your stride and focus on making sure that you lift your feet up!!! Don't assume that you can run the same way as you do on the road or at the same pace, or you'll almost certainly eat dirt or worse. Trails are awesome, but it's totally different than road running in my opinion.
As for your times, I think they are fine and you most certainly can improve on them if you put in the effort. What a LOT of improvement means is really up to you and your goals. I'm about the same size as you and I know that I'll never be "fast". I made my goal less about time and more about being able to run longer. Sure, my times have come down over the years, but the distance I can run has improved SIGNIFICANTLY MORE than when I started running. For me, that has been a huge accomplishment. So it does come down allot to your goals and what you do to get there.
Have fun!
Thank you all. I have worked with a physical therapist and work out often so my core could always be stronger but it's not bad. I prefer to and more often do run trail. The photo is of me just as I came off a downhill and heading up a steep uphill.
I have just started with a running coach and fully expect that to help. Mostly I wanted opinions of people who will not spare my feelings regarding my pace. I of course want to be faster but I'm not too disappointed considering.
I very much appreciate all the kind words and advice. I will keep running, working with the coach and see what happens.
Speed is not everything,unless that's your main goal. Finishing ( for me ) is what counts. If I go faster because I'm feeling it that's great. But at 52 I'm not going to beat the 23 year old runner out there. But as they said above , as you lose weight and train more you Will get faster. I did, so I have no doubt you will to. Good luck.
@ngray85 My goal is run longer more than faster also. The only real goal I have is a 10K trail race next month and maybe eventually work up to much longer runs. I know I'm too old and too big to win races, I just want to go have fun and not be last. I LOVE being on trails and of course I have noticed slower times there. That's ok, it's worth it. Flat and paved bore me to tears.
The founder of my running club is almost 60 and is faster than all but a few of our members.
As you lose more weight, you will become faster - that's a pretty simple math problem. More training won't hurt either. It'll come.
@de1565 Speed is not something that's going to come to me. I have a couple friends I would like to run with that say they can take it easy and run 9's and I want to get to there. I think I can some day.
I am 52, 5-11 and 210.
You are a lot faster than I am.
@ pavowski I know some runners older me that are a lot faster and can go farther, THAT is what I want to work toward. I have a coach now who laid out a plan for the 10K trail race I have five weeks from tomorrow. He will help me become more efficient which will lead to faster. He works with me a lot on form and posture.
@tomn961 Thanks. But I saw your PR's and thought, "This guy's nuts if he thinks I'm faster than him." HAHA. Then I saw the year. I never was a runner. I tore my knee up in high school playing ball and just never thought I could. Cycling for years has built up my knee a lot though.
I appreciate everyone's replies. My wife, after 30+ years, still is just always proud even when I have a horrible day so I can't trust what she says. And my running friends of course want to be encouraging so they won't be as honest as I want them to be either. I can kick all their butts on a bike all day so they think I'm that strong running also.
@ngray85 My goal is run longer more than faster also. The only real goal I have is a 10K trail race next month and maybe eventually work up to much longer runs. I know I'm too old and too big to win races, I just want to go have fun and not be last. I LOVE being on trails and of course I have noticed slower times there. That's ok, it's worth it. Flat and paved bore me to tears.
Sounds pretty much like me. I only really started running longer distances to prep for a half marathon, which I'll be running in a few weeks. My long runs are now up to around 20K and even a year ago I would have never dreamed I could run that distance. Long slow runs made all the difference in the world for me in building the endurance to go that far. I have a hard time finding trails where I can run that distance (most of the trail loops I run are 5-10K), so I had to hit the street. I'm lucky that I live in a city that has incredible running options amongst very scenic surroundings. You can do allot worse than running for a couple of hours along the Rideau Canal in the summer!
I enjoy being out for a long time even though I do have to go slower and walk some. I did 14.5 miles in the lovely Sandia Foothills on the other side of town (Albuquerque) from where we live a few weeks ago but it took 4 hours to do it. There's a lot of elevation gain then loss then rolling hills. I would say 80ish % of the first 10 miles was running, or what I call running HAHA) but then after that walking took the majority percent. I did finish on a bit of a run. I am very fortunate to live in an area with tons and tons of both great paved trails (my least favorite) and miles, upon miles of trail. And more races than a person could possibly do. There is something you can do every weekend here.
First, you are already showing improvement. Your 10K a week ago took 67 minutes; that's a stronger performance than a 33 minute 5K.
How fast can you get? No one knows. That's part of the fun of this sport. Finding out what YOUR limits are and testing yourself are what it's all about.
I don't think you should compare yourself to others. I'm faster than some, slower than others and so are you. For the most part, we're all competing against ourselves, testing ourselves against our last race. Some 24,000 people entered the LA Marathon, but really, only about 20 people had a chance of winning. The rest were competing against themselves (yeah, some were going for age/sex group wins, but that's still a very small share).
Keep at it and have fun. For what it's worth, though, I'd expect you will be able to drop that 10K time deep into the 50 minute realm, and probably even into the 40s.
Thanks Duck916. All that makes great sense and I proved you right today. I ran the Albuquerque Run for the Zoo 5k and finished in 31:15, 10:01 pace. And had my fastest ever mile at 9:26. I feel pretty good tonight. I have a rather tough training schedule for the next five weeks leading up to the Valles Caldera 10K trail race, let's see how that goes.

Ok, maybe I'm a wee bit bitter after losing a debate about Pathnames, Strings and subclassing.
I think you must be thinking about something else. Liskov doesn't say anything about not being able to override anything. It merely states that a subclass must be substitutable for the parent class without affecting the correctness of a program. You can override all you want, just make sure that the interface doesn't change.

Adam Yauch Dead: Beastie Boys Member MCA Dies of Cancer at 47
Famed hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys are mourning the loss of their brother-in-rhyme Adam "MCA" Yauch, who died May 4 as a result of his battle with cancer, according to TMZ. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native was 47.
Fours years ago on July 20, 2009, Yauch announced he had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his parotid gland, located in the mouth. As a result of the disease, the Beastie Boys had postponed all tour dates and pushed back the release of their eighth studio album, originally titled Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1, which was later released and titled Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2.
See Photos Both Old & New of Beastie Boys' Adam "MCA" Yauch Throughout His Career
His illness may have caused setbacks in his personal life and career but Yauch put up a strong fight, battling against the cancer. In August 2009, he underwent surgery to remove the tumor in his glands. Several months prior, he had asked fans to meditate with him in an effort to smash "apart all the cancer cells in the world."
Earlier this year, reports that the veteran rhymer were cancer-free surfaced, however, Yauch dismissed the news via his publicist. "I'm continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future," he said.
Adam "MCA" Yauch, Michael "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz formed the Beastie Boys in 1979, starting off as a punk band and later transitioned to hip-hop in 1984. The threesome released their debut album, Licensed to Ill, in 1986, noted as Columbia Records' "fastest-selling debut record to date and sold over 9 million copies."
They've gone on to release numerous albums, won a Grammy award for their 1995 hit "Sabotage," among other Grammy accomplishments, earned MTV Video Music Awards for videos "Intergalactic" and "Make Some Noise" and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2012. Yauch was absent from the ceremony, however, Diamond and Horowitz accepted the achievement in his honor.
Yauch is survived by his wife Dechen Wangdu and daughter, Tenzin Losel Yauch.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Sections Editor Dan Galbraith collected these news items from the expo floor Aug. 13-14 at the Supervalu Northern Region Sales for All Seasons show:
Borton Fruit plans new box, label
Borton Fruit hopes to unveil a new box and a new label sometime soon — possibly even as soon as the Oct. 18-20 Produce Marketing Association convention in New Orleans, said Sky Johnson, who works in sales and marketing for the Yakima, Wash.-based company.
Borton could also showcase two new varieties from New Zealand by the time of the PMA show.
"We're sampling them out to some of our retail chains now," Johnson said. "The Honeycrisp has been big for us and still is but everybody's looking for that next home run."
Borton is in its second year partnering with Supervalu on the "Fuel Up to Play 60" program, which encourages children to eat healthily and exercise regularly.
Chelan Fresh pairs apples with Jif for promo
Chelan Fresh, Chelan, Wash., is offering retailers a chance to sell more apples through a cross-promotion with peanut butter.
The company's "Jif To Go" promotion runs from August through October, said Jim Busche, director of category management.
During the promotion, consumers are enticed to buy a bag of apples at regular price to take advantage of a 55-cent-off coupon for any eight-count Jif To Go product.
About 2.4 million Kwik Lok tags on 3- and 5-pound Trout apple bags will feature the coupons.
Jif To Go are individual snack packs catering to the school lunch crowd.
Chelan Fresh believes the program will be successful as it points to research suggesting 43% of retailers believe cross-merchandising non-produce products with produce lead to greater center-store sales and 57% of consumers use coupons as their main money-saving strategy while shopping.
Jacobs Farm/Del Cabo branches into saffron
Pescadero, Calif.-based Jacobs Farm/Del Cabo, a grower-shipper of specialty fruits, vegetables and herbs, recently added saffron to its product lineup, said Jill Mizono, representing the company at the Supervalu show.
The .035-ounce (1 gram) jars are billed as "premium Afghan saffron." On the jar, the company highlights that "Your purchase of this high quality saffron helps Afghan farmers overcome the devastation of war, drought and an opium-driven economy."
Mizono said the price point for the saffron can range from $5.99 all the way up to a high-end retail price of $9.99.
JemD adds Cocoa Tomato Trio pack
A year after coming out with its brown cocoa tomato as an addition to its Artisan series, JemD Farms, Leamington, Ontario, has introduced its Cocoa Tomato Trio, a three-pack clamshell.
Doug Grabosky, key account manager, showed off the pack at the Supervalu expo, during which retail customers were offered a 30% discount.
"Prices were lowered for this show because we wanted to take these cocoa tomatoes' appeal from their eyes to the inside of their mouths. This is a $3.99 items but if you can make it a $2.99 item, that helps sell it," Grabosky said.
"The best thing about these tomatoes is they're good at any stage of maturity, but as they get more ripe, they become more sweet. They have long shelf life and they've been popular with our retail customers, but we'd like to see it go bigger," he said.
As a means to that end, JemD is offering retailers point-of-sale placards for the tomato which the company has billed as a savory tomato with meaty texture.

Netflix compay logo
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Netflix is adding a feature that will allow the Internet video service's 27 million subscribers in the U.S. to automatically swap movie and TV show recommendations with their social circles on Facebook.
The sharing tool announced Wednesday is rolling out 18 months after Netflix Inc. introduced the feature to its 6 million international subscribers.
Netflix withheld the tool in the U.S.to avoid breaking a 1988 law that banned the disclosure of video rental records without a customer's written consent. After several years of lobbying, the Lost Gatos, Calif., company persuaded Congress to revise the law so that subscribers could choose to activate a video-sharing feature.
If the sharing tool is turned on, Netflix subscribers will see new rows within their accounts showing what their Facebook friends have been watching.

Guest column: Public education on the edge of an abyss
October 23, 2012
If a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and a society is only as strong as its response to its most vulnerable members, what does the future hold for California's children?
This November, our children's future is no longer in the hands of educators like me. It is in the hands of the voters.
For the past four years school districts and colleges have endured unprecedented budget cuts and have been forced to eliminate valuable programs and lay off talented staff just to stay afloat.
Staff members at Lake Tahoe Unified School District have taken on multiple positions and extra duties, paid more for benefits and received less compensation for work in order to keep the cuts away from the students. In doing so, we have avoided cutting music, physical education, class size reduction, art, athletics, career technical education program and other important programs.
South Lake Tahoe voters have proven time and time again that they value education; the most recent example being the passage of Measure G in 2008, which unfortunately coincided with start of the current financial crisis. Our schools were old and in disrepair and the $64.5 Measure allowed LTUSD to increase that number to almost $100 million with matching state funds. That money, by law, cannot be used to fund the day-to-day education costs.
Thanks to the voters, we are now building the quality facilities that not only serve our students, but add to the city's ability to attract different kinds of tourists, especially throughout the summer.

However, the state budget approved earlier this year includes $6 billion in cuts that would be imposed if Proposition 30 fails in November. The biggest cuts, $5.4 billion, would fall on public schools and would allow up to 20 days to be eliminated from the school calendar. Public universities would endure another $500 million cut, which would lead to substantial fee increases in tuition. Public safety programs would also follow schools into the abyss of financial ruin.
The Lake Tahoe Unified School District would suffer an additional loss of $457 per student, or $1.6 million, in addition to the $4 million loss in recent years. No longer could we hold on to those programs we value. No longer could we keep our doors open 180/day per year for our children. No longer could we keep our class size low.
Opponents of Proposition 30 say that the money won't go to schools, but that is misleading. Schools won't see dramatic increases in funding; this would just stop the hemorrhaging. Much of the debt the state has incurred is being carried by the school districts and needs to be cleared before anything else can happen.
Proposition 30 increases the sales tax rate by one-quarter cent for every dollar for four years, ending on December 31, 2017. The current rate is 7.25 percent (does not include local taxes), down from 8.25 percent in 2009-11. So for every $4 you spend on non-food items, a penny would go to public education. It also increases personal income tax rates on upper-income taxpayers for seven years. This would affect individuals with taxable income of more than $250,000 and couples' more than $500,000.
Proposition 38 would leave the sales tax rate alone but raise the income taxes on most Californians for twelve years starting January 1, 2013. Nearly all of the revenue from Proposition 38 would go to K-12 schools but none of it would go to public universities.
If both propositions pass, the one with the most votes would go into effect.
California is already ranked 47th in the nation in per pupil funding. How much more can our schools endure? The answer is in the hands of the voters this November. Once the chain is broken at the weakest link, it will take years if not decades to repair. The children who will be affected are the very ones who will be deciding our future in coming years. Choose to educate their minds now so that they will make informed decisions in the future. Vote "yes" on Proposition 30.

Looks like someone is ready to cut loose...and not just on the dance floor.
While promoting her new flick Footloose, Julianne Hough has rocked several chic outfits including a red top and matching shorts, a sparkly midnight blue dress and a tuxedo-inspired number.
And on Monday night, the 23-year-old dancer-turned-actress, went for her sexiest, most daring look yet at the Yahoo Hollywood Movie Awards.
Hough wowed in a plunging gold beaded cocktail dress straight off designer Naeem Khan's Spring 2012 runway. In addition to showing off tons of cleavage, the hot frock was also backless.
The former Dancing With the Stars pro, who is dating Ryan Seacrest, 36, recently revealed how she maintains her killer physique. "I vary my workouts every day because, otherwise, I get bored," she said in the November issue of Self magazine. "I always try to run for 20 to 40 minutes on the beach first. Six days a week is fantastic, but four is great too."

I'm just going to go ahead and warn everybody up front tonight if you're looking for deep thoughts and non-biased analysis of the game I suggest you skip my entire post.
This may be the single biggest homer post I have ever done in my life and I don't apologize for any of it.
To say that this was a big win is like saying that beating the Japanese Navy at the battle of Midway was big. Yea, it kind of is that big in terms of our team.
This win not only improves our record it does the one thing that no other victory (no matter how good or by how much) has done this season. It gives us legitimacy.
This wasn't just any team and this wasn't in just any arena. Yes they are not nearly as good as they have been in the past and yes this was their third loss in a row. But this was only their second loss at home since they opened there (they had won 9 in a row) and we all know that they did not want to lose their third game. They also had no excuses for injury either, everybody who is somebody for them played. No I don't think Steve Blake changes the game for them either, no more than Jeff Foster would have for us.
But (and here is where I will lose some of you) what was the most impressive thing to me was that we not only had to battle the Lakers and their crowd but we had officials that were frankly giving them the benefit of every doubt in the first half and totally took us our of our game. To everybody's credit we fought through and not only came back we over came them.
Do you understand this; we overcame the Lakers and poor officiating to start the game. No Pacers team in the past decade could have done that. Yes, IMO, even the mid 2000's teams would not have been able to recompose themselves to come back and win this game.
Also this took this road trip from a losing west coast trip, which we are all used to, to a winning west coast trip which is a rarity for us. While I'm pointing this out I also want to point out that it took a total collapse on our part for the Kings to beat us in the first game so we could have swept the trip which when you think about is amazing. But that should not take anything away from tonight's game.
Maybe I'm just over hyped right now and maybe I'm just putting to much hyperbole on the game but I can't help but believe that this game was a statement game. Not so much to the Lakers or maybe even not that much to the league, but this was a statement game for us. We can beat anybody anywhere when we play as a team, play aggressively on both ends of the court and share the ball.
Let's do tonight's Odd thoughts in grade form.
Roy Hibbert: A+ Herb Simon by all rights should just meet the team at the airport with a check in hand. Max player and tonight he showed why he will get that kind of money. When he comes back in the game we start the comeback. I kept saying during the 4th quarter Howard vs. Bynum my ***, it may come down now to Howard vs. Hibbert. Ok we all know who wins that but I'm telling you Andrew Bynum was outplayed tonight. His interview after the game was over when he said that they told him not to play but he told them he had to play to help the team only went so far as to secure himself in Pacers legend and lore. If we were all Klingons we would be writing both songs and opera's about the heroic battle of L.A. where Roy of house Hibbert stood his ground against many armed only with a bat'leth and secured victory for the Pacers Empire. Roy tonight took the leap from good guy center who most people loved because he was really a nice guy and player to Roy Hibbert God amongst men who not only is a nice guy but is a fearless warrior who played through pain to help his team.
Danny Granger: A I'll not hear another word about this grade, well at least none that I will bother to take seriously. The only reason it's not an A+ is because he missed so many shots. But his defense all night long was just out of this world good. I mean defensive player of the year good (at least for this night) and he had a pass in the paint to Hibbert for a score that to me shows how much Danny is really trying to change his game to be a bigger team player because he could easily have turned and fired that up. It would be easy to say that you don't win that game without Roy and you would be right, but this like every game we have won this year has been a team effort because if Danny doesn't block Bynum at the rim twice and he doesn't hit those big three's then you could argue you don't win either. Also that one where he was called for a foul (I think it was vs. Barnes) was complete and utter B.S. He got all ball so he should have had 4 blocks and should have been credited for a steal against MWP.
Paul George: A Dude was guarding Kobe "F'n" Bryant. Kobe got his 30 but took 30 shots to get it and I am pretty sure that he only scored 2 points in the 4th quarter. I know Hill had some of that but for Paul to come home and have to play against his idol and play as well as he did deserves big kudos. Also thank you for having the courtesy to dunk the ball tonight. I think David West got on him that last game and Paul tonight did not give us any of the dipsy doo scoop shots that he has been trying. Also he moved a lot on offense without the ball. The play where Collison hit that three on a pass from Roy was created because Paul was cutting and took Darren's man with him. A far far cry from that Sacramento game.
Darren Collison: A Ice water in his veins. Two free throws to get us the lead with all of the pressure in the world on him and he sinks both of them like they were nothing. His grade is higher because of his free throw shooting. Because he missed Danny on a wide open 3 on 2 fast break for a layup and instead threw it to Paul George for a three that he missed. But he did a decent job of at least outplaying the geriatric Fisher and while he turned the ball over more than you are used to getting from him he did a decent job of pacing the game in the second half.
David West: B+ If I were grading by halves his first half would have been at least an A and the second half a B-. He was aggressive in the first half on the offensive end and kept us in the game. In the second half his offense went away but he had some very timely rebounds and did a very good job of keeping Gasol off of the scoreboard for the entire game, although Pau had a near triple double himself. This continues to be a terrific pick up for the Pacers in the off season. Far more than I ever expected it to be.
Dahntay Jones: B+ Look I know there are a lot of you that don't like him and believe me I understand why. But there are times when someone like him is exactly what the Doctor orders and tonight was one of those times. I think he played a very efficient game myself. He hit shots but just as importantly drew fouls and went to the line and made his free throws. 11 points in 14 min. is not bad at all and then he also gave you 5 boards with that. In fact this grade is really probably to low.
George Hill: B He can thank the referee's for that grade. They took him out of the game early on with at least one call that I could not believe they gave to him. However once again he proved to be our sharpshooter off of the bench and the reason I keep saying over and over again, we don't need Jamaal Crawford. George is giving it all to you and great defense to boot. This trade was great for both teams but I believe that overall value as of today goes to us as he has been huge in several victory's already this season. His three point shooting tonight was both timely and huge because it forced L.A. to step out and guard him.
Tyler Hansbrough: C Obviously something is wrong. His eye is either still bothering him or I fear he may be having some long term issues with the vertigo from taking another hit to the head. But to his credit even though he couldn't hit the ocean from a boat tonight he still went after the boards and the single most amazing thing was that we had him guarding Bynum whenever he and West were in together and Andrew did not back him down. He was able for the most part keep Bynum out of the lanes when he had him one on one. Also there was a funny moment when Troy made a lame attempt to try and get the ball off of a rebound from Tyler and Tyler just vice gripped it and Troy slowly backed away.
Lance Stephenson: C Stop passing the damn ball to Lou. There is a reason he is open. I mean in a lot of ways it's not Lance's fault because he has thrown some beautiful passes that should have resulted in scores but the recipient is not the right person. Other than that hit his one attempt from the field and made his two free throws. He contributed to the team and as time goes on he may contribute more.
Lou Amundson: D Lou Lou Lou…. Unless you have a wide open dunk please for the love of all that his holy pass the ball. I mean I love what he brings to the floor other than that. He is just a slightly shorter version of Foster so you get the same kind of play from him but just not on the same level. But Jeff has learned over the years to get the ball out of his hands as fast as he can and Lou needs to learn this. Josh McRoberts thanks you for the sportscenter highlight block he got.
Frank Vogel: A+++ If he did nothing else other than stand over there and give them a pep talk when they got down it would have probably been good enough. But on top of that he made adjustments to the lineups tonight that he didn't make in Sacramento and it paid off right away. I think so often we get wrapped up in the fact that this is such a nice guy and positive influence that we probably overlook the fact that the guy can really coach. He understands the game and obviously understands his players and that is all that you can ask for from a coach.
Huge win, I mean mega huge win for this team.
We are for real

Managing Risks in the Preservation of Research Data with Preservation Networks
Network modelling provides a framework for the systematic analysis of needs and options for preservation. A number of general strategies can be identified, characterised and applied to many situations; these strategies may be combined to produce robust preservation solutions tailored to the needs of the community and responsive to their environment. This paper provides an overview of this approach.

Editor's Note: Allison Zabel is a senior at Iowa State University, majoring in Agricultural Studies with a minor in Animal Science. She is originally from Tekamah, Neb., where she grew up on a small acreage with a few horses. Although Zabel doesn't have a background in pork production, she will be working for Pipestone Veterinary Clinic, headquartered in Minnesota, when she graduates. She will be working in China, but first will train in the United States for six months. Zabel will be writing a regular blog for PorkNetwork, and provides a bit more of an introduction here:
I was very active in FFA in high school. I participated in multiple events and even held offices within my chapter. I have held two internships with hog companies during my four years in college. I worked in a wean-to-finish facility with Murphy Brown LLC and I worked on a sow farm with Hawkeye Sow Centers. That is where I developed my profound love for and knowledge of the pork industry.
I am leaving on May 14 for a study abroad trip, and will be visiting Poland, Germany and the Ukraine. The trip is designed to provide an overview of the European Union's sustainable agriculture. While I am in Poland, I will be participating in a group project on animal welfare, specifically in the pork industry. I plan to make comparisons between the pork industries in the United States and the EU.
I look forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences with you, and I appreciate your comments.

How long did each take to do?
(I'm guessing you're far more patient with these things than Bennett)

Good stuff. With the sheep eating, it is the start of a new move: THE AUSTRALIAN BLOB. Next it needs to eat a wallaby, or even worse, a koala bear to show just how terrifying and heartless it really is.Quinn wrote:Hi All,
