WHO Network of Collaborating Centers - A Partnership for Protecting Workers' Health and Safety Globally
WHO Network of Collaborating Centers - A Partnership for Protecting Workers'
Health and Safety Globally
By Leslie Nickels
This article provides an overview of the key objectives of the Global Plan of Action for Workers Health 2008-2017 WHA 60.26, http://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA60/A60_R26-en.pdf, and an update on progress in developing the Network of Collaborating Centre's 2009-2012 Work Plan, including, the purpose and objective of the Work Plan, priority initiatives, and expected outcomes.
The Network of Collaborating Centers in Occupational Health currently includes 65 government, research, professional and academic institutions from 37 countries, and three international professional associations, http://www.who.int/occupational_health/network/CC_Address_List_25.5.09.pdf. The Collaborating Centers are active partners in helping to define priorities and in implementing programs to advance the GPA agenda. Through projects, which are part of a three year Work Plan, each Collaborating Center works with WHO headquarters in Geneva, the six regional offices, and other collaborating centers. The most recent 2009-2012 Work Plan,
The current 2009-2012 Work Plan consists of over 220 individual projects organized into 5 GPA objectives and 14 priorities managed by GPA Managers, initiative leaders, and in cooperation with occupational health staff in Geneva and regional offices. Priorities were established to focus efforts on crucial problems in workers' health. For details of the priorities, please visit: http://www.who.int/occupational_health/network/oeh_Summary_of_Work_Plan_Priorities_May_2009.pdf. A summary of the priorities includes:
Following the passage of the GPA by the World Health Assembly in May 2007, the Collaborating Centers' advisory committee recommended harmonizing the 200 projects in the existing Work Plan with the objectives of the GPA. GPA Managers, collaborating center directors, and project leaders identified and aligned projects with the GPA objectives and solicited new projects to help address priorities. The transition work was coordinated by the GPA Managers, who are supported by their institutions to assist in managing information and evaluation of Work Plan process, progress, successes and barriers to Work Plan implementation. The GPA goals and managers include:
GPA Objective 1: to devise and implement policy instruments on workers' health Manager: Claudina Nogueira, National Institute for Occupational Health, South Africa
GPA Objective 2: to protect and promote health at the workplace
GPA Objective 3: to improve the performance of and access to occupational health services
GPA Objective 4: to provide and communicate evidence for action and practice Manager: Jo Harris-Roberts and Ed Robinson, Health and Safety Laboratory, UK
GPA Objective 5: to incorporate workers' health into non-health policies and Projects
Ultimately, the work of the collaborating centers, as defined through the 2009-2012 Work Plan, will be to contribute to addressing the priority area objectives. Some anticipated outcomes include: comparative analysis of national strategies and action plans, national profiles, and reports on lessons learned; evaluation of national programmes, packages of essential interventions and good practices, for dust control, exposure and diagnostic criteria for pneumoconiosis; review of good practices for substitution of asbestos and prevention of exposure to asbestos; tools, inventories, and framework documents for risk assessment and management in agriculture, construction and transport; definition of common criteria for toolkits; review of effectiveness of existing programmes for healthy workplaces and tools for creating healthy workplaces including a health-promoting culture; and OH&S principles research report to identify relevant gaps in research.
A compendium of the projects, table of priorities and management leadership, and a summary of projects by GPA objective areas are living documents which will change as new projects that address the priority areas are added and those whose projects are completed are catalogued and disseminated. For more information on the Network of Collaborating Centers in Occupational Health, please visit: http://www.who.int/occupational_health/network/en/index.html. For information on the 2009-2012 Work Plan, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Progress, successes and challenges in implementing the Work Plan will be addressed at the next triennial meeting of Collaborating Centers in Occupational Health October 19-22, 2009 in Geneva, Switzerland. For information on this and associated meetings, please visit: http://www.who.int/occupational_health/network/collaborating_centres_meeting/en/index.html.
International Course on Biological Monitoring: A Valuable Tool for a Healthier
By Inakshi Naik, National Institute for Occupational Health, South Africa
The Analytical Services Section of the National Institute for Occupational Health (NIOH), in collaboration with Ampath and Lancet Laboratories, presented a two day International Course on Biological Monitoring: A Valuable Tool for a Healthier Workplace. The course was presented in Johannesburg at the NIOH (20-21 October 2008) and Durban (23-24 October 2008) at the School of Medicine, University of KwaZulu Natal.
This course was presented as part of the Global Network Plan (2006-2010) of the WHO Collaborating Centres (CC) in Occupational Health. NIOH has been a WHO CC in OH since January 2005. This particular NIOH project in the current Global Network Work Plan is titled "Developing capacity in biological monitoring in occupational and environmental health"and falls within Global Plan of Action Objective 3, capacity building.
The course was presented by international and local experts in the field of biological monitoring. The international experts were Ms Kate Jones - principal scientist from the Health & Safety Laboratory (HSL; a WHO CC in OH), UK and ambassador of the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) for South Africa for 2008; Dr Henri Heussen - senior occupational hygienist / toxicologist and specialist in the application of biological monitoring in industrial settings, from Arbo Unie, Netherlands; and Mr Ayyappan Ramalingam - senior lecturer and expert in industrial hygiene, risk assessment and environmental chemistry, from the Department of Environmental Health Engineering, Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai, India (a WHO CC in OH). South African experts in the field included Johannesburg and Ms Sharita Ismail from Metallica Chemicals, Cato Ridge, KwaZulu Natal.
The course content and logistics were developed by Ms Inakshi Naik (Head of Section: NIOH Analytical Services) and Ms Kate Jones from the HSL, UK. The course is designed to cover topics such as: the role of biomarkers in exposure assessment of chemical exposures; practicalities and ethical issues in the development of a biological monitoring programme; the role of the laboratories in providing biological monitoring capacity; interpretation and communication of results; etc. Based on these topics, participants were given the opportunity to actively engage in practical exercises through structured interactive sessions throughout the course.
This was the first time that a comprehensive course in biological monitoring has been presented in South Africa, and it received excellent reviews from the 140 delegates who attended both sessions. It fostered a spirit of collaborative knowledge transfer, culminating in the decision to establish an electronic biological monitoring forum where professionals, both locally and internationally, could communicate regarding biological monitoring of chemical exposures in the workplace.
For more information regarding biological monitoring in the workplace please contact:

Oxford is the lone holdout among local cities that have agreed to contribute money to the McClellan Development Authority. The nonprofit organization formed in March 2010 with the purpose of transforming the former U.S. Army training facility into a maze of industrial parks and commercial businesses, creating thousands of jobs.
Robin Scott, director of the authority, spoke to the council Tuesday about plans to develop the 9,700-acre site, and to ask Oxford to join the partnership.
"There's been a lot that we've accomplished out there moving toward our goal," Scott said, describing the many buildings that have been demolished and land that's been cleared.
Scott said that since 2009, $1.2 million worth of McClellan property has been sold, and two other large real estate deals will close in the coming months. All of that, he explained, will mean additional jobs and tax revenue, not just for Anniston, but for all the surrounding communities.
Phil Webb, board chairman of the authority and owner of Oxford's Webb Concrete, said jobs created inside McClellan could bring more shoppers and residents to Oxford.
"We need jobs, and we need jobs in this county," Webb said.
If all cities and organizations in the area agree to help, Webb said "everyone is going to prosper."
Already partnered in what the authority is calling the McClellan Area Regional Development Compact are Calhoun County, Jacksonville, Piedmont, Weaver, Ohatchee and Hobson City as well as the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce, the Calhoun County Economic Development Council, Jacksonville State University and Gadsden State Community College.
When asked after the presentation if he would consider joining the compact, Mayor Leon Smith said there remains some details to look over, but "I think we can do something there."
Contributions to the project already promised are:
• Jacksonville - $120,000
• Weaver - $40,000
• Piedmont $20,000
• Ohatchee $8,000
• Calhoun County - $400,000
• Anniston - $1.2 million.
A few miles down the road from Oxford's own job-creating complex — the Oxford Exchange — a traffic light will soon be going up in an move to reduce accidents at a busy intersection.
The council agreed Tuesday to pay Birmingham-based construction company Stones and Sons $27,502 to install a traffic light at the intersection of Friendship Road and Leon Smith Parkway. At least 93 accidents have taken place there since the parkway opened in 2004.
The traffic light could be installed in as little as two weeks, said Council President Steven Waits.
In other business, the council:
• Appointed Jason Bedford to the Parks and Recreation Board. Bedford is replacing Sean Perez on the board, whose term was to end March 24, 2018.
• Announced the Oxford Performing Arts Center will hold an open house Sept. 8 at 2 p.m.
• Agreed to pay the $1,300 admission for three members of the Oxford Arts Council to attend the Performing Arts Exchange Show in Nashville in September.

Stress Spending
Last weekend was a hectic (but fun) time with family—but it was peppered with work, and followed by a high-pressure Monday morning meeting.
Worse, everywhere I went there was another store window with "SALE" plastered all over it. And... all I wanted to do was shop.
This Is Your Brain on Sales
It was as if some part of my brain took over, and said that it was OK to cut loose because I was stressed—not because I had any extra cash.
I write a lot about the psychology of money and spending, including this recent MSN column about stealth budgets. I know from long experience that I tend to be an emotional spender—and many studies show that for some people (ahem) spending releases happy chemicals in the brain.
Cashflow Control
So, there I was, staring at the mouth-watering Anthropologie window. I was smart enough to ask myself: Why are you giving yourself license to spend?
"Because I'm stressed! And then I'll feel better!" came the merry reply.
"You can't shop when you're all wound up," I told myself. And then, dear DW readers... I walked away.
Bottom Line
It's possible to triumph over long-held, unhealthy patterns—and I'm living, money-saving proof. Tell us about your financial victories here.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — The steady drumbeat of construction equipment pounded through Gene Chizik's office Thursday morning, a sign of the work in progress at Auburn.
That national championship 15-plus months ago didn't mean the Tigers had finished the rebuilding job remarkably ahead of schedule. To Chizik, Auburn's fourth-year coach, a positive sign his program is closing in on that completion came during the spring with all the competition for starting jobs on a team that has only a handful of vacancies.
"If you look at our senior class this past year, it's very representative of the crater there in our numbers," Chizik told The Associated Press. "We've had to really significantly work through the last couple of years in terms of building our numbers up in recruiting. We're definitely on track. This upcoming recruiting class is going to be huge in what we consider solidifying four really great foundational recruiting classes.
"We feel like this fourth one is going to get us where we need to be."
He's not counting the first class that was largely assembled before his hiring by Tommy Tuberville's staff. Even with 17 returning starters on offense and defense, Auburn's youth movement continues.
Some 70 percent of the Tigers' roster of scholarship players is comprised of freshmen or sophomores, a slight increase from 2011.
Progress hasn't been too painful, on the field. Auburn has won 31 games in Chizik's first three seasons, including the Cam Newton-led national championship team in 2010.
Dressed in a gray pin-striped suit with purple tie and purple and white kerchief, Chizik mostly manages to ignore the noise that represents the sounds of the equipment room's expansion directly beneath his spacious office. It's one part of the athletic facility's upgrades that has already included the suite of offices where he and athletic director Jay Jacobs work, not to mention a new indoor practice building a year ago.
"It's going to be really nice," Chizik said.
On the field, Chizik dealt with the first big makeover to his coaching staff. He has hired offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler, defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder and secondary coach Willie Martinez.
Chizik is also seeking a starting quarterback and a replacement for All-Southeastern Conference tailback Mike Dyer. Gus Malzahn took his fast-paced offense — and ultimately Dyer — to Arkansas State for his first college head coaching job.
Chizik said the biggest differences in the offense will be much more frequent huddles and two-tight end formations and fewer shotgun snaps.
"Other than that, football is football," he said. "Is that more of the standard in people's eyes? Yeah, because you're not no-huddling every snap and you're not fast-pacing every snap. But you've got to remember, we didn't fast-pace every snap last year. That's the image and that's kind of the impression but we didn't do that every snap. We didn't do it in 2010; we didn't go fast every snap."
Sophomore quarterback Kiehl Frazier got a chance to get an upper hand this spring on Clint Moseley, who was limited by a sore shoulder.
Chizik's review was mixed about whether the spring convinced him that Frazier could be a successful starter in the Southeastern Conference.
"I certainly saw flashes that would indicate that he could, no question about that," the coach said. "I feel like I saw some things this spring that indicated that he has the potential for that. As we all know, that potential word is a dangerous word, but we saw flashes of exactly why we recruited him. He's got a lot of development to go but he's got a chance to be a good player in this league."
The Tigers have stockpiled blockers for whoever emerges as the No. 1 quarterback in preseason camp. They have signed 10 offensive linemen and six defensive linemen in the past two years. Those areas have been question marks since defensive tackle Nick Fairley and four offensive line starters departed from the national title team.
"I feel like that's where everything starts and I really feel like that's where we're moving in the right direction," Chizik said. "Obviously, recruiting is wherever they are on paper when you sign them. But just potentially on what we feel like down the road they will become in terms of the development of each one of those young guys. I think we're in a really good place right now — on both sides."
Chizik finds plenty of positives in returnees getting challenged for their starting spots.
"What we've experienced in the spring, which gives our coaching staff a lot of optimism, is that we're finally getting true competition at a lot of different positions," he said. "Our roster is built up enough in numbers. Although they're still young, they're talented, and they're able to compete for jobs. That's where you want to get to. We're finally starting to get close to that point."

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By J. Craig Anderson firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
For the first time in more than four years, Maine's unemployment rate has dropped below 7 percent.

The preliminary, seasonally adjusted rate of 6.9 percent for April was down from the statewide jobless rate of 7.1 percent in March and 7.3 percent in February. It was the first monthly unemployment rate below 7 percent since December 2008.
Maine joins 39 other states that recorded lower unemployment rates in April. The U.S. Department of Labor said Friday that unemployment rates increased in only three states -- Louisiana, Tennessee and North Dakota -- and were unchanged in seven states.
The national unemployment rate was 7.5 percent in April, a four-year low. It was down from 7.6 percent in March and 8.1 percent in February.
Robert McCafferty, a recent transplant from Boston, moved to Portland in January with no job prospects and no familiarity with the city.
But he quickly landed a full-time job as a beer kegger at Shipyard Brewing Co.
"There are jobs out there," said McCafferty, who is 41. "If we keep a positive attitude, things will work out."
McCafferty said he is seeking a second, part-time job to supplement his income.
"I'm not worried," McCafferty said, considering the ease with which he got his current job.
Nationwide, employers added 165,000 jobs in April. The economy has added an average of 208,000 jobs a month since November. That's up from only 138,000 a month in the previous six months.
"An unemployment rate of 6.9 percent is a positive sign that Maine's economy is improving," Gov. Paul LePage said in a written statement Friday. "However, we need to keep working to grow our economy and ensure that we do not slip backwards."
The 6.9 percent figure likely will be adjusted upward when more data becomes available, said the Department of Labor's chief economist, Glenn Mills, but the general trend since 2011 has been toward a more robust job market.
The rapid, two-month decline in the state's jobless rate follows a slight increase in unemployment, to 7.3 percent in January from 7.2 percent in October, November and December.
The labor department reported an estimate of 497,700 private, nonfarm jobs in Maine in April, up slightly from 497,400 in April 2012. There were an estimated 99,700 government jobs in Maine in April, down from 101,500 a year earlier.
Employment sectors that had the biggest gains in April compared with a year earlier included the leisure and hospitality sector, which added 1,200 jobs, and professional and business services, which added 700 jobs.
The job losses in April from a year ago came in the health care and social services sector, which lost an estimated 1,300 jobs.
Mills said swings in Maine's jobless numbers are partly attributable to the method used to estimate unemployment in the state. The numbers are adjusted as employers submit payroll data, which gets added to the initial estimates.
Still, Mills said, every time lower jobless numbers are reported, even if they're estimates, employers who have been sitting on the fence may decide to start hiring, and unemployed residents who have given up on finding jobs may be spurred to try again.
"There's no doubt that psychology plays a role in how hard people look for work," he said.
Mike Roland, manager of the Portland CareerCenter, said it's too soon to get excited about the dip in Maine's estimated jobless numbers, but he has noticed that business is a bit slower at the job-placement service than it was a year ago.

Today more than ever, global cities need to run just to stand still. Urban leaders who wish to provide their citizens with the benefits of becoming a global powerhouse must fire on all cylinders, all the time.
Global economic activity showed encouraging signs of strengthening towards the second half of 2013. Most encouraging was the nascent recovery recorded in the Euro area. In the final quarter of 2013, the region registered 0.5% growth, ending seven consecutive quarters of negative growth. Although unemployment remained high, it appeared to have peaked and began to move downwards. These improved economic conditions can be partly attributed to a gradual improvement in competitiveness in some economies of the Euro area, as reflected by an abatement in unit labor costs.

Great place for traditional seafood fare, awesome decor, and excellent drinks.
Avoid this Over-Priced Tourist Trap – May have been good in the past but awful now. We had steak and seafood. The steak was Morton's prices and Sizzler quality. The ala carte baked potato was under cooked and the clam chowder wayyy too salty. My fisherman's platter (recommended by the waitperson) could have been from Long John Silver's. The cheesy interior was fun and the service was OK. My tab with drinks (no wine) and tip for two people was $130. I won't be back.
This place is worth it – Been here a couple of times and it has not failed me! My family and friends almost always say yes when I invite them to this place. I am a big seafood lover so I can become picky with how seafoods restaurants work. it may be on the pricey side but nevertheless is worth it.
A place of satisfaction to my palate and dining experience – Historical, antiquing, yet a place of great comfort to dine in for great food, drinks and service. The executive chef is very meticulous in his selections of all ingredients, especially seafood. Yum! Even some basic food like New England Clam Chowder is unique, tasteful, and very gourmet. Great place to keep coming back. Also, don't forget to check out a special chef dinner when you have a chance. It goes fast!
Best Happy Hour in the Bay – A huge burger for $1.95!!!! The entire happy hour menu is super cheap. We filled the table with food for practicaly nothing and all of it was great.
I fell in love with this place again. – All there is to say is Great Seafood! The Stuffed salmon that I had was outstanding. Los, the bartender was great, he introduced me to the chef. This is my new/old favorite place.
best crabcakes & excellent service – We went to Spenger's for my husband's birthday.There were 7 of us. All of the food was great! We
are all very picky when it comes to food & service because some of our family members are exquisite cooks & some have been waitresses . Our waiter was fantastic. I had crab & shrimp stuffed salmon.Wow! My sister-in-law has had crab cakes everywhere & she said these are the best.
Mediocre food, outrageously priced – On a pleasant Saturday afternoon we wanted an enticing fish salad at Spenger's for which they were always known. Well, let me tell you we were in for a major disappointment. First, the crab cobb salad was served with wilted lettuce at room temperature, a very flat, tasteless experience. Next the bill came charging us $14.95 and $ 10.95 for wine that was listed in the menu for $8.95 and $7.95. I suffer from delayed reactions which means I didn't challenge the outrageous cost of wine, until now. Thus, I write this review in retrospect feeling cheated out of an experience at this venerable Berkeley institution. Furthermore, we went to the fshmarket to take some crab home. We found the shop disheveled smelling badly of fish, which is a sign that you don't buy fish from a market that smells. I don't intend to cross its threshold again. The French bread and butter was good as always.
OUTSTANDING FISH! – I first ate at Spengers about a month ago. I am a vegetarian and ordered the Astoria Sole. My friend ordered the crabcakes. The Astoria Sole was OUTSTANDING...perfectly cooked. The bread that was served was excellent as well. The crabcakes were so-so. The fish was so good, I could hardly wait to go back, which I did last week on a weekday at about 2:00 p.m. We waited too long for our server, but this time both orders, the barbequed Salmon and the Rex Sole, were EXCELLENT. My friend was so impressed with the flavor of the Salmon, as was I. My Sole was pan seared perfectly with mashed potatoes. The broccoli was a a bit undercooked but delicious. I will make this restaurant one of my regulars! We thoroughly enjoyed these fantastic, fresh fish dinners more than any other fish restaurants in the area!
Bad food + mediocre service + high prices = never again. – Other than airport food I have never been so startled by the gap between the quality of a restaurant's food and the restaurant's prices. Not only did we have to wait 10 minutes for our reservations, but once we got inside we found that there were at least 10 empty tables. Our appetizers were uninspired and not very good. My wife's entree was probably the worst piece of fish either of us have ever been served (airplane food included). It was tough, dry, flavorless and kind of small. My cioppino was fine, but nothing special. For $20+ entrees I expect much, much better, tastier food. The waiter was nice, but the service was incredibly slow.
The place was packed, but I honestly can't figure out why. I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life and have passed Spenger's 1000 times at least, so when my wife told me that she was taking me there for dinner I was really psyched. Tourists and old folks seemed to be into the restaurant, but my wife and I were just so disappointed.
Next time I want good cioppino I'll goto Franchino Restaurant (347 Columbus Ave in SF) or The Old Clam House (299 Bayshore Blvd. in SF). For good seafood in the East Bay I'll stick to

Lauren Alaina Talks American Idol 2012 Winner & Favorites
Lauren Alaina spoke with THR after Thursday's results show and revealed what she thought of the strongly opinionated Jimmy Iovine, her favorite singers on American Idol 2012, and who she thinks is going to win it all. You might be surprised to hear her answer.
First Lauren says she wants a girl to win, but then predicts a returning season 10 contestant would be the one to take the crown. Lauren quickly covers all her bases though when she adds it could be the most popular female singer so far this season as well.
I'm surprised she went with Colton Dixon as her predicted winner instead of Phillip Phillips, but I'd wager both singers will go far in American Idol 2012 so that was still probably a fairly safe guess. Balancing things off with the possibility of Jessica Sanchez taking the big win is a no brainer, but we've still got a long way to go in this American Idol season so anything can happen.
What do you think of Lauren's picks for her favorites and the potential winner?

Lauren Alaina Will 'Party' With Jason Aldean in 2012
Lauren Alaina has scored a gig on Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party tour, joining the 'Tattoos on This Town' headlining singer and Luke Bryan for the 2012 outing. The tour marks Lauren's first since her stint on the American Idol's Live! tour, following her second place finish on the wildly popular reality show just behind fellow country singer, Scotty McCreery.
"I am so excited to be a part of the Jason Aldean tour with Luke Bryan!" gushes the 'Georgia Peaches' singer. "I am a huge fan of both of them. If I wasn't a part of the line up, I would want to be in the front row! I am honored that my first major country tour will allow me to share the stage with two fellow Georgia artists. That is definitely my kind of party!"
Lauren's 'Georgia Peaches,' the second single from her debut album, 'Wildflower,' is currently climbing the charts. The teen star first scored big with 'Like My Mother Does,' which entered Billboard's all-genre Hot 100 chart at No. 20, in addition to No. 9 on the trade's Digital Songs chart, with first-week sales of more than 120,000.
"Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of releasing my own album," Lauren says. "I am so excited to share it with the fans who have been supporting me throughout my journey. I hope they enjoy listening to this record as much as I did making it."

Lauren Alaina Readies for Major 2012 Tour Announcement
To say that Lauren Alaina has been having a pretty great year would be putting it lightly. Besides winning over America on 'American Idol,' the country cutie released her debut album, 'Wildflower,' last month, which has already spawned two hit singles. Now, 2012 is already shaping up to be an amazing year for the soon-to-be 17-year-old. While she remains tight-lipped about the details, Alaina can promise that there's be some exciting tour news to come.
"Some time next year, I'm going to go out on tour opening up for someone [big]," Alaina reveals to Taste of Country. "We'll be announcing that some time coming up, but right now I'm doing a lot of promotion for my new album. I'm just trying to get my name out there a little bit more and be able to perform as much as I can."
Plenty of music fans all around the world are getting to know Alaina and her music — so many, in fact, that her album debuted on Billboard's Top 200 chart at No. 5 and at the top of the iTunes chart. "I was at 'Good Morning America' [when I found out the chart positions]," recalls Alaina. "My mom came into the room when I was getting my makeup done. She was so excited. She was like, 'You're album's No. 1 on iTunes!' I just had a fit! I was crying, and they had to redo my makeup."
"That was really cool, especially for a new artist," she continues. "I have to thank 'American Idol' for all of that publicity because a lot of people know who I am from being on that show. Things in the past year have really been going great for me. I've been super blessed. I am just very thankful to all my fans and my family and everybody who's been supporting me."
Alaina's latest single from 'Wildflower' is 'Georgia Peaches,' which is the follow-up single to her Top 40 hit 'Like My Mother Does.' Her 'Idol' co-star, Scotty McCreery, will be hitting the road with Brad Paisley in 2012.

Happy Birthday Lauren!
I know Lauren's birthday was yesterday (November 8th) but I never had a chance to say it sooner. I would love to wish Lauren a happy 17th birthday! She's had an extremely successful year with being the runner up on the 10th season of American Idol and releasing her debut album. Lauren, I hope you had an amazing day filled with love, well wishes and I hope you enjoyed your day to the fullest. Happy Birthday Lauren!
Feel free to leave your birthday wishes for Lauren below!
Lauren Alaina to join fellow 'American Idol' star Scotty McCreery at ACAs
There is going to be even more of an "American Idol" presence at the 2011 American Country Awards then we first originally expected.
After previously finding out that Scotty McCreery was nominated for an award on the Fox ceremony (which will air in December), we also now know that both he and his season ten runner-up Lauren Alaina will be in attendance for the big show. As for other "Idol" connections, both Kelly Clarkson (as a part of a duet with Jason Aldean) and Carrie Underwood are nominated for some awards.
Last year, Carrie ran away with the vast majority of the trophies — a fitting introduction to a show airing on the same network that made her famous. Kristin Chenoweth and Trace Adkins are expected to host this show, which is sure to make more than a few fans of the genre excited.
Are you happy that both Scotty and Lauren will be there?

Lauren Alaina: 'I Don't Want to Be Skinny'
Last week, Lauren Alaina made headlines with her amazing physical transformation since dropping 25 pounds in only five months. Taste of Country caught up with the southern belle in Nashville over the weekend during the annual Family Day benefit, where we asked Alaina if she truly planned on losing another 10 pounds to reach her goal, as reported.
"I don't want to lose any more weight," Alaina said, referencing the Us Weekly story that ran on the internet last week. The interview with the publication actually happened a couple weeks back. "I've lost a little bit more [since then], but I don't want to be skinny. I like having curves. Curves are in!"
Alaina credits healthier food choices for the change to her petite figure — which means no more fast food stops for meals, as well as daily workouts of crunches, push-ups and squats.
"I'm just really healthy now because I have to work all the time," said the 16-year-old singer. "I grew up eating fried food. I thought that macaroni and cheese was a vegetable. When I started working all the time, I started eating the right food that will help me have my energy up and stay healthy. I won't be sweating as bad onstage now [laughs]!"
Alaina's life since 'American Idol' has kept her on a fast-paced track to stardom. Just a couple weeks ago, her debut album, 'Wildflower,' hit the stores and debuted at No. 1 on iTunes and No. 5 on Billboard's Top 200 chart. The latest single from 'Wildflower' is 'Georgia Peaches.'

How American Idol's Lauren Alaina Lost 25 Pounds!
Sometimes it's OK to be a loser — take it from American Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina, who shed an incredible 25 pounds in just five months.
"Changing my diet was the big thing," the 5-foot-7 Georgia native tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now). "I had to learn correct portion control."
The singer (her first disc, Wildflower, debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart) initially used the meal delivery service Sunfare to transition into a high-protein, low-carb diet.
"I eat an egg-white omelet for breakfast, shrimp and veggies for lunch and chicken with asparagus for dinner," the single 16-year-old high school junior says.
Daily workouts of crunches, pushups and "lots of squats have also helped, the size-2 singer tells Us. "I'm 10 pounds from my goal — almost there! I wear size small and extra-small now!"

LINCOLN — Charles Hagemeister's name is on the plaque he helped unveil Monday during a Veterans Day ceremony at the State Capitol.
A Vietnam War veteran, the Lincoln man is one of two living Nebraskans who have received the Medal of Honor. The other, former Sen. Bob Kerrey, had a conflict and was unable to attend the ceremony.
The plaque lists all 72 Nebraskans, living and dead, who have been given the medal.
Gov. Dave Heineman said the state is proud of those who have received the nation's highest military honor, which is awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty.
"We will never forget the tremendous legacy created by the men and women who served and are serving this country," he said. "Their sacrifices have preserved our freedoms."
Altogether, the Nebraskans whose names appear on the plaque served in nine wars and conflicts: the Civil War, the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, the Philippine conflict, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Somalia campaign.
To be listed, a medalist has to have been born in Nebraska or have lived in the state for two years or longer, or have received the Medal of Honor for action occurring in the state, according to Mike Smith, director of the Nebraska State Historical Society.
Most of those listed on the plaque served during the Civil War or the Indian Wars, when the Medal of Honor was the only military award available, he said. The last military action in Nebraska was the Indian Wars.
The plaque will be installed permanently in the Capitol's 14th floor Memorial Chamber. The chamber is visited by thousands of people a year because it is on the same level as the Capitol's observation deck.

Pulpit Reflections By Rev. Joe Villalobos This is a special time of year for those of the Christian faith. The Lenten season is a time of penance, fasting, sacrificing and reflection for the purpose of drawing closer to God and pleasing him with how we live our lives for him. It is a 40 day period in preparation for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The Lenten season takes place when the days are being lengthened by more daylight. How appropriate for the occasion, for the Bible tells us in the Gospel John 8:12: Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
It is a time of waiting for something good to happen. We see it in nature; after a harsh winter we can look forward to springtime and the coming summer months.
During Lent, people give up things. We are reminded in 1 Samuel 15:22 that obedience is better than sacrifice. When Jesus went into the wilderness after his baptism, it was not about fasting but seeking the Father, being strengthened and drawing closer to the Father. It is much easier to bring a sacrifice to be burnt than to bring our thoughts and actions into obedience to God and the will subject to his will. Nothing is so provoking to God than disobedience.
To many, Lent is only a 40 day experience. It really has no spiritual value if we do not prepare to live our lives this way year around. Is your spiritual life really changed as a result of the Lenten season? This is where the reflection comes in. Look deep within your heart to see if you are walking a spiritual journey that is pleasing to God. One that is not predicated on only a 40 day time frame that ends after the 40 days.
Religious activity in itself has no value. It is the attitude of the heart towards obeying and loving God. May you find yourself desiring to walk with a pure heart before God. Don't just make it a 40 day Lenten experience, make it your lifestyle every day of the year. God will be pleased with you and you will experience the blessings of walking in obedience to God's will.
Rev. Joe Villalobos is pastor of the Faith Fellowship Church of the Open Bible of Vermillion.

I really like this woman you drew. Very sleek and interesting. Makes me want to know more about her.
I think your last enviro needs a lot of work. The trees don't look so much like you're viewing them with a fisheye lens as they just look tipped over. And they're really huge in comparison to the figures. Whether that was your intent or not, it messes with the viewer's perception of scale. : /

Wow, I love your use of color.
Your anatomy studies are cool and they really show your improvement in your characters with exagerated proportions, I think. Your work is *interesting* which isn't something many can say, your characters expressive. When you use crisp lines you reach a very good level of quality.
Keep working that anatomy and those enviroments!

Read our full match report on this exciting clash here.
An impressive performance from Australia, digging in and grabbing a well-deserved point. For Ghana, what a missed opportunity. They will regret this result if they don't make it to the last 16.
FULL TIME It's a draw in Rustenburg!
Paintsil is down and it doesn't look good. A horrible clash of heads with leaves him nursing a gash to the head, he is stretchered off. Ghana now down to 10.
Terrible from Gyan! Set free down the right, he had two men free in the Australian penalty area. His cross is woeful, flying out for a goal kick.
The corner is cleared, only as far as Owusu-Abeyie, who's drive is turned over by Schwarzer.
A late corner for Ghana, what a chance.
Into stoppage time in Rustenburg...
So close for Ghana! A superb ball from Muntari, and Mensah compounds quite a miserably afternoon for himself by heading over from six yards.
A late chance for Ghana, a free kick given against Moore for a shove on Amoah. Muntari over the ball...
Boateng off for Matthew Amoah.
A long throw causes havoc in the Ghana back line. A foul is eventually given. The booking for Moore was for a late challenge on Ayew.
Craig Moore. The referee books Moore for reasons that nobody quite understands.
Five minutes to go and Australia look the team most likely to win this.
Wilkshere off for Nikita Rukavytsya.
Anthony Annan Annan brings down the lively Chipperfield.
Ghana will be really disappointed with how this is going. They'll kick themselves if they don't take advantage of this situation.
Australia are playing really well here. Solid defensively, and looking lively on the break.
Free kick Australia, but Brett Emerton hits a poor effort high over the bar.
Mensah More naive defending. A poor clearance from Kingson and Chipperfield is dragged down by Mensah.
Kevin-Prince Boateng rues a missed chance for Ghana
Can Muntari provide the guile Ghana have been lacking?
Muntari on for Asamoah.
What an interception by Craig Moore! The ball is played through and as Gyan raced through, Moore stuck out a leg a got a foot on it. Classy defending.
Ghana need to get the ball to Gyan. Australia are struggling to contain the front man.
Ghana look really nervous in defence. Devoid of their first choice defensive pairing they don't look comfortable at all.
ESPN Stats & Info: If the game remains 1-1, then all three games at Rustenburg have ended with the same scoreline.
Chipperfield misses again! Played through he slides the ball straight into the body of Kingson, the rebound is volleyed goalwards but Ghana clear. A really lively encounter now!
A real chance for Gyan! Boateng plays an excellent ball down the side of Craig Moore and Gyan is away. Through on goal he slices his left-foot effort wide. Poor from the Ghana number three.
Owusu-Abeyie the latest Ghana player to try his luck. He curls a harmless strike over the bar.
The game is starting to open up now. Credit to Australia for continuing to try and win the game.
Kennedy has gone right up front for Australia. They haven't settled for a point just yet.
Holman off for Kennedy.
A rare chance for Australia. Emerton sends a lofted ball into box and Chipperfield with his first touches powers a header over.
Chipperfield on for Bresciano.
Gyan does well again, beating his man before feeding Asamoah. Yet again he chooses to shoot from distance and the chance is gone.
Mensah the latest to shoot from way outside the area. Ghana need to work the ball closer to the goal, they won't trouble Schwarzer with shots like this.
A solid defensive header from Craig Moore. Australia are dealing with Ghana well at the moment.
Free kick Ghana after a foul on Boateng. Owusu-Abeyie to deliver...
Almost for Ghana. Boateng and Sarpei exchange an excellent one-two but their path to goal is blocked once again.
Another effort from Gyan. Ghana look a real threat when he's on the ball. His effort from the edge of the box is calmly gathered by Schwarzer.
Australia were keeping the ball well until possession was conceeded. They need to be wary of the pace Ghana now have in their team.
The free kick is wasted, foul given against Australia.
A chance for Australia to get the ball in the box, Holman earns the foul.
Owusu-Abeyie on for Prince Tagoe
Another optimistic effort from Ghana, their certainly not scared to have a go from distance.
Ghana waste a good position. Ayew does really well to get down the left, he feeds Boateng who slows down the attack completely. The momentum had gone and in the end Schwarzer gathers the eventual cross easily.
Harry Kewell was furious with his dismissal
Asamoah Gyan has really come to life since his goal. After sloppy play from Bresciano, Gyan slalomed forward and curled a decent effort to Schwarzer's left. The keeper is down well to stop it.
Ghana are pressing well here, Australia haven't got out of their own half since the restart.
Lovely stuff from Asamoah. Striding past Valeri, he has a pop from 40 yards. Neat approach play from the midfielder.
Straight from kick off it looked like Tagoe had got behind Carney, but the referee called it back for a foul.
KICK OFF Ghana get the second half underway.
ESPN Stats & Info: Australia have not had a shot since their goal in the 11th minute. Before the Australia goal, Ghana had just one shot. Since, Ghana have had nine shots.
During half-time, why not take a read of John Brewin?s reaction to England's shocking draw against Algeria.
ESPN Stats & Info: Ghana's last three goals at the World Cup have been penalties, including in their last match against Serbia.
What a chance for Ghana to press on in the second half! Can Australia hang on for a point?
HALF TIME The referee blows the whistle right on 45 minutes.
Inexplicably the referee has given a goal kick. One of the worst decisions at this World Cup in my opinion...
Great save Schwarzer! Carney was dispossessed, Kevin Prince Boateng brought the ball right into the Australia penalty area, eventually hitting the ball low across goal, only to be denied by the Aussie keeper.
Ghana seeing more of the ball in the last five minutes. Maybe a push for a second goal at the end of the half...
Ghana celebrate their equaliser
Both teams look content to get to half time level. Ghana will surely go for it in the second half?
Lee Addy A nasty looking challenge on Bresciano, a well deserved booking.
Australia have their first forray forward since the equaliser. Great work from Emerton who holds off Mensah, feeding Carney who's cross comes to nothing.
ESPN Stats & Info: Six players have been sent off in the last four World Cup matches involving Australia.
Asamoah's free kick hits the wall. Craig Moore seems to be struggling with the pace of Ghana's attacking players.
A late challenge from Craig Moore brings down Ayew, great chance for Ghana.
Mensah's shot heads towards Harry Kewell on the line
Ghana really need to make the extra man count. They could take a massive step into the second round here.
The game has settled down again after a frantic few minutes. Australia will be happy with this pace now.
The Aussies are doing the sensible thing and trying to keep the ball. They've got an hour to play with 10 men...
Australia look shell shocked. They need to wake up and soon, otherwise this one could get away from them.
ESPN Stats & Info: Ghana have never earned a point in the two previous World Cup matches in which they have conceded the first goal.
Gyan again gets his head on the corner, but it goes well over the bar.
Asamoah Gyan has come to life! Dribbling down the left and Australia bring him down. Free kick to Ghana.
Prince Tagoe with a great opening to make it two!!! He breaks down the left, and instead of squaring to Gyan he fires a weak effort wide.
GOAL FOR GHANA! Asamoah Gyan slots home a penalty! Disaster for Australia! A Ghana corner causes chaos in the penalty area. Mensah's effort at goal is stopped by Kewell's arm on the line and he's off. What a turnaround!
Brett Holman celebrates his goal
Harry Kewell
Prince Tagoe sums up Ghana's afternoon so far. He tries to bring the ball forward, only to swing his foot at the ball and completely fluff it. Awful.
Schwarzer is called into action for the first time as he comes out and collects the corner comfortably.
Andre Ayew is at least looking lively for Ghana. His run creates space for a effort from 20-yards out. It deflects off Lucas Neill for a corner.
You can't help but wonder how much better this Ghana side would be with Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari in the middle of the park...
A sight of goal for Ghana. Ayew gets his head onto a cross but can only send the ball skyward and the chance passes.
ESPN Stats & Info. Holman's strike was the fastest goal ever for Australia at the World Cup and this is the first time in nine World Cup matches that Australia have scored first.

Ghana are looking to get a foot hold in the game. They need a spell in possession but the ball is given away again.
This group is now wide open, Ghana look very nervy.
GOAL Bresciano's effort from the free kick is spilt by Kingson. Holman can't believe his luck and slots in the rebound.
Valeri tries to burst through the midfield, he's brought down and Australia can get a shot on goal.
Emerton heads the ball away on the front post, the games hasn't really got going yet.
First corner for Ghana, a chance to get the ball into the box.
Panic in the Ghana defence! Kingson comes out to claim a tame through ball only to collide with Addy. Ghana lucky to escape there.
The delivery is behind everyone and drifts harmlessly out of play.
Dangerous free kick for Australia, Bresciano is stood over the ball...
First shot of the game from Kevin Prince Boateng. Neat foot work from the Portsmouth man, who then fires an ambitious 30-yard effort well wide.
First foul of the game, a high foot on Harry Kewell in the centre circle gives Australia the chance to launch an attack.
A really positive start from Australia, looks like the Socceroos are up for this one.
Big penalty shout for Australia. Harry Kewell gets behind Addy who looked to have brought him down, but the referee waves play on.

Kick off Australia get us started in Rustenburg.
The teams are in the tunnel, it's almost time to get going.
For the second game in a row Ghana are forced to start without star player Sulley Muntari. Australia bring in Harry Kewell for Richard Garcia.
For Australia, surely only a win will do? They can't go out today, but if they lose they'll have a mountain to climb against Serbia in their final game.
Australia and Ghana go head-to-head in Rustenburg today, and while the Black Stars can't seal qualification for the last 16, they can take a massive step towards the second round.
Join us at 1400 GMT to see if the Aussies can turn it around against Ghana.
