SINGAPORE (AP) — Singapore's government has ordered a prominent church to pay compensation to a former employee who was fired for alleged adultery, officials said Tuesday.
The Faith Community Baptist Church has reportedly said it will abide by the order and pay the woman 7,000 Singapore dollars ($5,500) in salary and maternity benefits, but it insisted it was correct to dismiss her.
The woman, who handled administrative responsibilities for the church, filed a complaint to Singapore's Ministry of Manpower after she was fired last September.
The Straits Times newspaper said she had been finalizing her divorce when she was found to be pregnant with the child of another church worker, who has since resigned. She is believed to have refused instructions by church officials to end the relationship if she wanted to keep her job, the newspaper added.
The manpower ministry said Tuesday in an email to the AP that it was "satisfied that she was dismissed without sufficient cause within six months of her delivery date."
The church, which has more than 10,000 members, had previously refused to pay the woman any maternity benefits. Singaporean labor laws specify legal protection for female workers who face dismissal if they are at least four months pregnant.
Ministry officials met this week with representatives of the church and instructed them to compensate her.
Church officials did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
The church's senior pastor, Lawrence Khong, told The Straits Times that "if we concede that the dismissal was unjust, it means we are condoning adultery and it will weaken our moral and spiritual authority in the organization."
Singaporean political commentator P. N. Balji said the government made the decision "according to the letter of the law."
"This kind of behavior (by the church) is archaic and has no place in a modern country that has ambitions to become a global city," Balji added.

Interview With Artist Rafael Pereira!
by Threadless / None /
Threadless Abmassador Tom interviews the aesthetically astute Rafael Pereira aka hafaell.
First of all hi and welcome to the interview!
Hey, hey! Wow! Awesome. Let me answer these questions right now!
Your avatar has somebody in a gas mask. Is that you?
Yes, that's me with my beloved mask.
Would it be fair to say that some of your prints have a comic book aesthetic to them?
Yes, I can't deny that I have been influenced by comics. I love to read them and I spend a lot of time studying each panel, trying to understand how each artist comes up with those results. Splash pages are my favorite, and also the covers.
What topics do you usually cover in your work?
Human figures, sci-fi, nature and elements of industrial counter-culture.
Many of your artworks contain a dark atmosphere or a morbid theme, would you like to expand on this?
Hmm, it's hard for me to talk about this. My life is kinda complicated, dark and full of...I'm kidding. Actually, I believe this comes from the things I like to read and watch. I'm a big fan of fantasy literature, especially science fiction and horror.
How often do you think about death?
I've always thought that it is something eventual and it's not something which is a constant. Maybe it is one of my least important problems in life, in fact it might not even be a problem.
Is your personal artwork different from your submissions at Threadless?
Nope, the work that I submit to Threadless is a lot like what I do everyday. The aesthetic stays the same, it's just the medium that is different.
Could you explain the concept behind 'After All'?
The concept for After All was 'born' when I was watching the news about the nuclear catastrophe in Japan. Rather than making the design specifically about Japan, I wanted to create a post-apocalyptic atmosphere. The couple would be like two survivors, I guess.
'To Rip' is a collaboration with Threadless artist Matihole, could you tell us how that partnership works?
Mathiole is one hell of a friend. We're in fact roommates now, but back then when we made 'To Rip', we lived in different cities and everything happened through the internet.
What was it like working with Matihole on your 'Join The Awesome' design?
'Join The Awesome' was our third collab. He had the idea and he made a collage showing the composition. I did the sketch from that, then I made the final pencil work and then he added the final touches and of course colored the design magically.
"Join The Awesome" is available as a tee!
What is your favourite Threadless tee?
It's hard to pick just one, because I have so many favourites. 'Movies: Ruining the Book since 1920', is my favourite I guess.
'Fryderyrk' is a rock poster style design about Chopin, what kind of music do you like to listen to?
IDM, Industrial, Ebm, Dub, Death metal, Prog metal... There's a whole lot of stuff. Music like this often inspires me to create designs such as Fryderyk. Even though it's not classical music, I try to create a link between the feeling of the music and the art itself.
"Fryderyk" is available as a tee!
Do you think that there's a chance that a zombie apocalypse could ever happen?
I hope so. I'll do pretty much everything to join the living dead.
Cheers for taking part in the interview, and good luck with your mayhem filled post-apocalyptic visions of the future!

- Products & Services
The use of Safety Management Systems (SMS) by business aircraft operators to proactively identify and manage risks is an important part of the safety strategy for business aviation. Under a formalized SMS, operators identify potential hazards and ensure that a process is put in place to effectively manage them.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards found in Annex 6, Part 2 specify that a SMS requirement be incorporated into national safety regulations for operators of non-commercial aircraft over 12,500 pounds maximum takeoff weight or turbojet powered aircraft. The compliance date for ICAO Member states to begin implementation of these standards is November 2010. Annex 6 Part 1 of the ICAO Standards, applicable to commercial operators, required Member states to indicate their plans for compliance beginning on January 1, 2009.
The workshop, offered January 25–27, is a two and one half day event that covers the basics of aviation safety and SMS concepts. The workshop includes presentations, discussions, and group exercises. The target audience is aviation management personnel in operations, maintenance, safety and other areas that may be involved in SMS development.
During the workshop, attendees will be provided with guidance on how to utilize the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) SMS Toolkit. The Toolkit is designed to take operators through the complete SMS implementation process and provides many valuable tools and reference materials.
Participants are expected to bring their own copy of the SMS Toolkit. The Toolkit is included with purchase of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) and may also be ordered as a stand alone product. Attendees that have not purchased IS-BAO or the SMS Toolkit may do so during the online registration process.

Recently, I found out a friend of mine will need avatars pretty soon, so I decided to see if I could solo them.
I figured I could solo most of them fine (I was right) tho Levi might be a problem. (Heck, wiki even said that a 75 smn couldn't do it!) Well, at 99, no problem:
Also I found as smn/nin I could solo Fenfen no problem. I've done that twice so far, both times Fraps crapped up the sound. (Bleeh!) Anyway, here it is, I don't know why Fraps craps up the sound in Full Moon Fountain... Also for any people new at the summoner job; don't try doing that unless you know how to avatar kite with bping, have /nin, have decent to rocking gear, and have nerves of steel. ^^
Is there anything else (Well, avatars count if they're hard like Fenny) that you'd count as crazy that you've soloed?

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — A San Francisco Bay area father has been sentenced to three years in jail for abducting his two young children and taking them away on a stolen yacht.
Christopher Maffei, 43, was sentenced Friday in San Mateo County Superior Court, where he was also ordered to do 16 months of supervision and stay away from his kids until his sentence is served.
With good behavior, Maffei will only spend about nine more months behind bars because of jail time he has served since his arrest, San Mateo County prosecutors said.
Authorities say Maffei took his 2-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter from their South San Francisco home in September and packed them on a 41-foot yacht stolen from an Alameda marina.
Officials say Maffei and the children spent three days on the water before the vessel ran out of gas off the Monterey County shore, where he surrendered to authorities. They kids were not hurt.
Maffei had pleaded no contest in April to one count of child abduction and one count of possession of a stolen boat.
His defense attorney Jeff Boyarsky said Maffei "realizes it was inappropriate, illegal and not supported by any kind of rational thinking."
"He wants the rest of the family and the public to know he's sorry for the anguish he caused," Boyarsky told the San Mateo County Times.
Maffei believed his kids were in danger in part because they were around an aunt with alleged substance abuse problems, but authorities never found any evidence of abuse, Boyarsky said.

Saving the Sierra, tale by tale
NAMES: jesikah maria ross, Catherine Stifter
PROJECT: Saving the Sierra: Voices of Conservation in Action
RÉSUMÉ EXCERPTS: Stifter: Two Peabody awards for independent radio productions; firefighter, EMT, and water truck driver for North San Juan volunteer fire department; lives off the grid in solar-powered cabin.
ross: UNICEF youth radio project in Ethiopia; community media projects in South Africa, Mexico and Ireland; first street demonstration in Mexico City against U.S. support of Contras in Nicaragua.
THEY SAY: ross: "We're graciously stubborn about putting a spotlight on the Sierra Nevada."
Stifter: "I hate it when I hear something I agree with and it's Rush Limbaugh."
Jesikah maria ross' hair erupts in henna-red spikes as she pulls on a headset, pokes a microphone at Roger Lessman and nods across the room to Catherine Stifter: Let the interview begin.
"What does conservation mean to you?" Stifter asks Lessman. The narrative that follows is about life in the Sierra Nevada for a Truckee, Calif., resort developer with 2,500 acres in the alpine valleys just north of Lake Tahoe.
Roaming the backwoods and urban outposts of these California mountains, ross, 42, (who spells her name without capital letters, on the grounds that she's "not a capitalist") and Stifter, 50, are collecting scores of stories from wilderness hikers, county commissioners, forest rangers and developers like Lessman. Their tales are more than picturesque chronicles of people whose voices are seldom heard. Broadcast on National Public Radio, through an interactive Web site and at community events, they are a gentle means to an ambitious end: saving the Sierra Nevada.
Stifter and ross believe these stories can not only connect the Sierra's 2 million residents to one another and to the places they love; the tales can also awaken the millions of people who live outside the mountain range to the issues that threaten it. "The more we celebrate what people are doing in the Sierra, the more people will understand and be moved by it," says ross.
The two women concocted their project in the waist-deep waters of the Yuba River on the Sierra's western slope. They have similar career backgrounds — Stifter's mostly in radio, ross' in video — and share an appreciation for people with dirt-level connections to their homes. Wading among the Yuba's granite boulders, they traded secrets about their favorite haunts. And they confided their fears for the Sierra, whose population is expected to triple by 2040. With urban sprawl and air pollution already oozing up the foothills and into the mountains that span 400 miles along the California-Nevada border, Stifter and ross decided to coax people into getting involved by documenting local stories.
They are an unlikely pair. Ross has rings on five fingers and six in her ears. Stifter wears a wedding band and a single pair of simple earrings made from recycled glass. She was a Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow at her rural Minnesota high school, while ross was a gymkhana queen who held the shot put record at her Southern California high school.
"She's academic; I dropped out," says Stifter.
"She's intuitive; I'm a trained community cultural developer," says ross.
They don't quite finish one another's sentences, but they share a quirky compatibility. Both drive VW Golfs fueled by biodiesel. A glance from ross is all Stifter needs to know she has enough words from a subject.
During a recording break at Piper's Patisserie, they caffeine up and mull over what they are actually saving. Not Truckee or Lake Tahoe. Not the California spotted owl, the 69 Sierra species at risk, or any of the other icons that drive the typical environmental battles.
Stifter and ross are saving stories of life in these mountains — logging and mining, rafting and backpacking, teaching, trading and just getting by. Hearing the twang of a rancher, the lilt of a Maidu Indian, the awe of a teenager who has hiked Mount Whitney, listeners will respond, and maybe even take action, Stifter says.
Part conservation activism, part grassroots organizing, this project doesn't fit into any of the usual boxes. Conventional conservation is all about "science, numbers, and blah blah blah," says Stifter, faking a snore into her curried chicken. "All that cool cucumber factoidal information — that's not us," says ross.
Neither is objective journalism. "We spill our guts about who we are and what we're doing to get people to participate," she says.
Ross and Stifter are betting their high-tech recording equipment that the voices of real people talking passionately about what they know will trigger something deep within their radio and Internet audiences. "If you don't drop the pebbles, you don't have ripples," says Stifter. "That's what we're doing: dropping rocks."

You can't beat a system you can't understand
The problem with being a newspaper columnist is that finding good subjects to write about is not easy. I know I'm not alone with this little glitch in my chosen profession because I've talked to other columnists, and they agree. It's a weekly dilemma.
The reporters get nice assignments where the subject matter is laid out for them - all they have to do is write the facts. They snooze at their desks until some wild-eyed editor storms into the newsroom and shouts something like: "A guy wearing a cape and blue tights just flew into town and landed on our roof! Somebody get up there and interview him!" That's what I hear happens at the big city dailies. Well, how hard is that? It's a nice tidy little assignment. A photographer takes a picture, the reporter bangs out 500 words - job done. But it isn't that easy for columnists. We have to be interesting.
Unfortunately, our quest for original material is often unsettling for editors. At our paper, we have a very nice editor, and I feel bad if the look on her face when she sees me says: "I hope he didn't write anything weird. Why does he always have to write stuff that is so strange?" I know I'm right about that look because I often receive e-mail that says: "Sam - this is weird. Why can't you just write something normal?" So I chose this anecdote from my checkered past to give her a break.
When I was a kid, I hung out with half a dozen other junior hoodlums that I occasionally write about when nothing better comes to mind. Like most groups of misfits, we had a girl tagging along who should have been one of the guys. Her name was - and this is not a lie - Muffin. Can you believe that any parents, even if they hated children, would name a kid Muffin? It's just cruel. However, we never teased Muffin about her name because she'd pound the living snot out of all of us if we did, something she enjoyed doing on a regular basis anyway. You see, Muffin was large. She could beat any of us at arm wrestling. We feared Muffin.
Obviously, Muffin was nothing like her name. She was neither cute, nor muffiny, to coin a word to adequately describe her. Muffin could easily eat a dozen assorted flavors of her namesake followed by breakfast - another regular occurrence.
One day, Muffin announced that it was time she found a boyfriend, a frightening thought. Before we had time to panic, she assured us that we were not likely candidates. She also decided that she should lose a little weight so she would be more attractive. We thought she should lose weight so she would stop scaring people. Attractive was another matter. Anyway, diet pills were a new product on the market at the time, and they were highly suspect. Anybody could buy them without a prescription. Muffin thought she should check them out.
Her only concern was: "Do they work?" Whether they were healthy wasn't a consideration. Pookie Grossberg said that they must work because pill makers tested everything on laboratory rats. Muffin wasn't convinced, so Kinky Boswell suggested buying a laboratory rat and testing them ourselves. I didn't think it was a good idea, but nobody agreed.
We bought the rat, the pills, and some rat food. We put a pill in the rat's food bowl and sure enough, the little guy ate it. In less than five minutes, he was flying around his cage at a zillion miles an hour like a parakeet on steroids. His little tail spun in circles like a propeller driving him from the rear. We had neglected to read the directions that said to take one pill for every 100 pounds of body weight. Since the rat weighed less than a pound, we figured that the experiment wasn't going to be accurate. We put rat food in the rat's bowl hoping to calm him down but he wouldn't touch it. "That's great," Muffin said. "If I take this stuff, I won't eat rat food."
Muffin abandoned the idea, but we got a pet rat. She continued to beat us up for lack of anything else to do. We were desperate to find her a mate. Then Nicky the Brain, our resident nerd, came up with a brilliant idea. "Sherman," he said. "We can fix her up with Sherman. They're perfect for each other."
Sherman Mueller was accurately named. Everybody called him "Tank." He was the largest member of the football team. I
used to hide behind him during games so opposing teams couldn't see me. Sherman was also the school bully. The concept was great. Muffin would have a boyfriend, Sherman would like us because we fixed him up with Muffin, and they would walk off into the sunset together and leave us alone. All our problems would be solved.
Not so.
Fix them up - we did. It was love at first sight. Walk off into the sunset and leave us alone - they did not. Muffin decided that Sherman should hang out with her friends. Then they both beat us up on a regular basis. We were quickly learning that we lived in a system we can't understand.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: West Side neighborhood loses trees and backyard privacy for the summerBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 11. 2014 10:11PM
Winter is past. School is almost over. Now it's backyard time.
Time to teach the kid how to throw and catch.
Or cook hot dogs and hamburgers over an open flame.
Or work on a tan. Or lounge in a hammock and read a book. Or jump into the pool.
Whatever we do in our backyards, we enjoy them with the expectation of privacy.
Forget that — for this summer at least — if you live on the West Side near Interstate 293. Last fall, trees that shielded about a dozen highway-side homes and backyards were cut as part of a $26.2 million highway construction project.
Once it is complete, a natural shield of tree trunks, branches, leaves and pine needles will be replaced by a sterile wood-and-concrete highway wall. Portions will be nearly 30 feet high.
But for this summer, the backyard activities of people like Mike Mazzaglia are fodder for the roaming eyes of the 73,000 or so people who pass by on the highway every day.
"Most people didn't even know we were here," Mazzaglia said last week in his rather noisy backyard. "They've brought the world into our neighborhood."
His backyard is most noticeable from the highway. It boasts an above-ground pool encircled by a whitewashed deck, which is connected to the upstairs room of his house by a 40-foot-long ramp.
"I don't have a choice," Mazzaglia, the owner of an asbestos-abatement company, said when I asked if he'll use his pool in the sight of the traffic. "That kind of stinks."
The small neighborhoods had been hidden gems. Neat homes and green lawns are sandwiched between Second Street and the highway. They are reached by two narrow streets that run off Second Street.
The Wentworth Street neighborhood even maintained its secrecy in 2007, when ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" rebuilt the Voisine home. That home — noticeable by its odd, wow-the-TV-audience design — is now ripe for highway viewing, too.
The exposure has brought more than eyes into the neighborhood. Trees and leaves also helped to block noise.
Now cars and trucks zip down the highway, as if they were kayaks shooting through blacktop rapids.
You could compare the highway noise to a waterfall, only without the spray or the cool temperature. Or a strong wind, without the uprooted tree or the fear of losing your hat. Whatever — the noise is constant.
"It started in November, and for nine months we got to listen to this," said Phillip Ouellette, who lives on Wentworth Street.
Wentworth Street resident Paul Brunelle, whose backyard is exposed to the highway, worries that a car may wander off the road and come crashing into his backyard, where his three young stepdaughters used to play.
"The woods used to keep it nice and quiet and safe," he said.
No one is really angry. Sure, there is some grumbling: The contractor cut the trees too soon. Work has moved slowly (but it did pick up this week). And a few trees that remained weren't being properly protected. (Protective stone was placed around the trees this week.)
Mazzaglia said the sound wall didn't have to be built. The state Department of Transportation offered the sound wall, but warned if it didn't go up now as part of the bridge-replacement project at Exit 4, the next opportunity to build it would be decades away.
The neighborhood went for the wall. State transportation standards say a wall can be built when the noise level exceeds 66 decibels, which is about the level at which one has to raise one's voice to be heard, said John Evans, air quality and noise program manager for the state DOT.
So while this is a summer of exposure for this neighborhood, it is also one of anticipation. What will the 2,000 feet of sound wall — roughly estimated at $1.1 million — do to the neighborhood once it's up in late August?
Everyone mentions graffiti, but they expect that will be on the highway side of the wall. The big unknown is how quiet the neighborhood will be.
Not everyone in the neighborhood, though, is disappointed at trading the trees for the nearly 30-foot wall.
Paul Dickie, who also lives on Wentworth Street, said leafless trees didn't block the noise in the winter, adding that it was even noisy in the summer.
"It's going to be a big difference," he predicted. He even anticipates property values will increase. Brunelle said he'll miss the trees and the animals that they sheltered. He said the sound never bothered him; he used to live near the airport.
Norm St. Onge, who lives on Hill Street and also has a pool, is happy to exchange trees for a wall. "It will mean less leaves," St. Onge said. "That's a good thing."

Once again, I am reminded by an article in my Michigan Tech Alumnus magazine that there is great value for kids learning about bicycle mechanics.
Once again, I am reminded by an article in my Michigan Tech Alumnus magazine that there is great value for kids learning about bicycle mechanics. Michigan Tech is closely aligned with General Motors in that Tech is primarily an engineering school. The information here is from a recent article.
So, being an engineering school, when GM decided to get involved with the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans, they decided to sponsor the Michigan Tech Huskies Helping Heroes program. GM had been involved before through their GM Military Discount Program through which they donated cycles to the Achilles Freedom Team, but the cycles were breaking down under the demands of competition.
GM turned to Tech, which has a Senior Capstone Design project requirement, and they formed at least five teams of senior mechanical engineering students to work directly with soldiers to develop better racing bicycles.
According to the DOD, about 1,600 servicemen and women suffered injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan that required amputation of one or more limbs; so, many of these soldiers are using their arms to power their bicycles or tricycles. We usually see at least two soldiers on these special bikes on the annual Biking Across Kansas. Imagine powering yourself across Kansas using only arm power.
The point is that high school is not too early for students to start learning about bicycle mechanics, especially if they have an interest in mechanical engineering. A major university and corporation in Michigan specifically utilize the knowledge, skills, and abilities of students who have learned about bicycle mechanics and about material science. After all, the materials that are used in a racing bike do make a difference in whether you win or even finish the race.
I recommend to any student that may have an interest in mechanical engineering or material science to start now to learn about bicycle mechanics and about the materials used in building them. The things that you learn will have application well beyond bicycles, of course. Maybe most important to your college career and your chances of really good employment afterwards, though, is the head start that you could get in high school.
If you already know that you want to be an engineer, than it is never too early to start learning some basics so that when you get to university, you can possibly stand out among your peers and gain the notice of those in industry that will be hiring you.
If you are interested, go to the Michigan Tech website to learn more about the Huskies Helping Heroes project and the Achilles Freedom Team.

For an automotive HVAC system the noise created and perceived by the occupants is an important factor that has to be accounted for. The system has to create an environment which provides a sufficient amount of cooling or heating to keep the occupants comfortable, but not at the detriment of excessive noise due to the air flow. Therefore the HVAC duct system has to be designed to deliver the air efficiently and quietly into the cabin.
To achieve such desirable conditions the system has to be designed early in the vehicle programme using CAE techniques. CFD methods are maturing in the area of aeroacoustics simulations and are now able to provide the engineering data that allows better HVAC duct designs to be developed.
In this presentation a method for simulating the noise source generation inside the duct, as well as the noise propagation from the duct to the near field immediately downstream of the duct, will be introduced.
An important feature of this method is that all the simulations are performed using STAR-CCM+ and that no third party software is required. The results will be validated against experimental measurements to illustrate the accuracy of the methodology over the frequency range of interest. The results will be presented in terms of noise level spectra.

TPG - "Is there such a thing as a perfect MMO? Aren't people and gamers different themselves and don't we all have different tastes? How can one game appeal to all of us? How can the MMO make a comeback especially after having so many failures these past couple years and having the successful ones slowly crumble?"
I would love an MMO where I was just a master woodworker and sold wood products to pay the rent for my house. Make it so every profession is needed.
Pretty much Guild Wars 2 . The only great mmo so far manageing to mix proper pvp with proper pve and without subs
I've actually had an idea for an MMO that I think will be a great concept, though extremely challenging to make. Imagine an MMO that takes place say, over the period of a year. It has a start and an end, but multiple servers. And make us relive all the battles in popular wars (WWII for example) with immense accuracy. So let's say the Germans had a million people in a specific battle and the Russians had 2 million. Make 300 players sign up and put 100 in the German Army and 200 in the Russian Army, but balance it by giving the Germans better tanks and guns (like it was in WWII). I think a concept like that would be awesome, especially if RPG elements are added. Not only per player, but per team as well (a certain number of XP earned by all players will research new vehicles, etc.) Obviously I'm no game designer and I'm just spitballing, but an MMO with this general idea would seriously tickle my fancy

South Carolina Counties
Counties or Districts
To find South Carolina records, it helps to understanding the history of their counties and districts. [1]
Early. Until the 1760s the predominant court was in Charleston. Parish and township records were kept, but records at counties not so much. Early counties were used more to describe locations than as record keeping jurisdictions.
1769. Seven circuit court districts were established. Record keeping in district seats became more important. Parishes continued. All counties were abolished. 1785. The seven overarching districts were sub-divided into three to six counties each. Provisional counties in several older southern districts never built courthouses, never functioned, and were counties in name only.
The other newer northern districts were often settled by people accustomed to county government who eventually erected courthouses, and fully functioning counties. Some of the county names (or similar names) from this period were used for later counties with different county boundaries.
1791. The 14 provisional counties within Charleston, Beaufort, and Orangeburg districts and several others were dissolved for failure to thrive. Two new districts with six counties inside those new districts were reorganized from parts of previous districts and counties in the far north.
1800. All overarching districts were abolished. Three of the previous counties were abolished. Seven new counties were created and added to the other remaining counties. However, all South Carolina counties were also called districts until 1868.
1868. Any remaining so-called districts were officially changed to counties.

BackgroundEngland. A group of Dutch settlers from New York came to South Carolina in 1671. Another smaller group was of French origin, mostly descendants of Huguenots, who came to the area beginning in 1680. More numerous were the Scottish dissenters, who were brought in beginning in 1682, and the Germans, who arrived during the eighteenth century. Blacks constituted a majority of the population from early colonial times until 1930. Indian wars drove most of the native Americans from the state, but there are still a few Catawba Indians in York County.

Lifelong Health and Fitness
Dina Howard leads 4th grade students at Willard North Elementary School in Willard, Mo. through a study of vegetables.
The study was part of a University of Missouri Extension nutrition class conducted by a Greene County Extension Nutrition Educator.
University of Missouri Extension Family Nutrition Education Programs (FNEP) reached 41,200 low-income participants with direct nutrition education in Greene County during 2012.
The goal of direct teaching in FNEP is to conduct an average of six classes with each client, to promote behavioral change. A significant number of Greene County residents (44,981) also participated in these Extension programs through indirect teaching methods at venues like food pantries and school and community health fairs.
Nutrition education for youth provides information in kid-friendly terms and lessons with hands-on activities. Activities include opportunities for taste-testing healthy foods and practicing skills that lead to good health. Education for adults includes nutrition, food safety, physical activity, and food resource management.
"FNEP reached Greene County youth and adults by partnering with Greene County schools, community groups and agencies," said Pam Duitsman, nutrition and health education specialist with University of Missouri Extension.
Programs offered in the county during 2012 included a variety of curricula, methods and tools that provide programming specific to a client's needs considering age, culture, reading level and abilities; supports Missouri's School Wellness Policies; and aligns with the Department of Education's (DESE) grade level expectations.
"Our lessons with hands-on activities are designed for youth and the adults that support them, pregnant teens, and immigrant populations," said Duitsman.
School nutrition efforts included a variety of in-school programs, educational displays, handouts for teachers and handouts that are taken home for the entire family.
"Evaluation data collected across the state reflects the positive impacts that occur in every county with FNEP," said Duitsman. "Our statewide research shows positive impacts with youth in areas like nutrition awareness, making healthier food choices, willingness to try new foods, and increased physical activity."
Adults who participate in FNEP show improvements in eating more vegetables and fruits, exercising more, planning meals ahead of time, and making healthy food choices for the family.
The goal of FNEP is to assist Missourians with limited resources in achieving lifelong health and fitness. In southwest Missouri, programs for youth and adults provide nutrition, food safety and tasting opportunities that allow participants to learn about healthy food choices and regular physical activity. Partnering with other agencies — like schools, after-school programs, summer youth programs, WIC, Head Start, health departments, Food Stamp offices and other social service agencies providing services to limited-income families — is a key to FNEP's success.
