"Every true runner will get a laugh out of this book. Schwartz does a
good job pointing out the wonderful absurdities of our sport."Arturo
Barrios-- Five-time world-record holder
"In this book, Bob Schwartz captures a unique spirit that every
runner experiences regardless of fitness level. His perspective on
running--a sport that can cause extreme moments of both glory and
pain--is sharp, real, and very funny. Schwartz covers all the basics
with a witty voice and a runner's hard-earned experience."Lizzie
Wann-- Editor of Fitness Runner magazine
"What a delightful book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could relate to
it through my own experiences. The reading is light and humorous, and it
takes a completely different approach to running. Very refreshing."Colleen
De Reuck-- Professional runner
"There is wisdom behind the laughter! Bob Schwartz makes you smile as
he reminds you that behind the science of running, there is a lot of
laughs and luck! He encourages the runners with wit and revelations that
years of running experience (and inexperience!) provide. I Run,
Therefore I Am Nuts will reinforce every runner's love of the sport, and
pride in their accomplishments. It's a fun read that I recommend to
runners of all abilities."Susan Kalish-- Executive
Director, The American Running Association
"Most runners take their sport seriously--sometimes too seriously.
Bob Schwartz provides a refreshingly irreverent slant on a variety of
topics to help keep a more balanced perspective. Take a run on the
lighter side!"Jeff Galloway-- 1972 Olympian,
10,000m, Author of Galloway's Book on Running
"I Run Therefore I Am –NUTS!! is a highly entertaining
read on every runner's favorite subject: Running. Considered by many the
Dave Barry of running, popular running humorist Bob Schwartz pokes fun
at the quirky personalities of runners and the funny situations they
encounter in training, eating, racing, preparing for races and revolving
their everyday lives around running. Schwartz's contribution is sure to
be a hit with both recreational and competitive runners, many of whom
are already big fans of his essays and stories from the many running
related publications for which he writes. "
Dick Weisz-- The Chicago Daily Herald
"The master of this genre is the veteran humorist and runner,
Bob Schwartz. He has contributed to many running publications, including
this one, and now his humorous insights are compiled into this very
wonderful and humorous book. But there is more to the book than laughter
(of which there is a lot!). Schwartz has been running and writing for
years, and mixed in with all the funny stuff are generally valuable
insights about all things running. We have a lot to learn from
Schwartz's experience and from his tremendous sense of humor."

Fed up with baking frozen pizza and toasting waffles as backups to every meal? Then quit. Tonight. Here's why: Kids do not have a biological predisposition to reject healthy foods. It's you, Mom, and those nutrient-deficient convenience foods you keep serving that shape your child's taste buds. Unfortunately, these early food preferences can follow your child into adulthood. If she's learned it's OK to eat fruit roll-ups instead of real fruit, the result could be a lifetime of weight issues. "Parents reinforce the 'picky eater' idea with special treatment," says Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D., a contributor to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website kids eatright.org. "Picky eaters are made, not born."
Kids need to be exposed to a variety of foods consistently—and when they're really hungry. Even the leafiest and greenest may go down the hatch if you time it right. Then, when spinach salad appears again, your kid recalls that it didn't kill her. We turned to famous chefs and nutrition scientists to help your food cynic evolve into an adventurous eater.
No. 1 Eat, Reign, Love
Repeat after us: You are in charge. You buy the groceries. You make meals. Still think you can't stick to your guns when your tot gets food fussy? Start small:
No short-order cooking.
How will kids get exposed to new foods if you keep cooking chicken nuggets for them? Scientific studies have shown again and again that children copy their parents' eating behaviors. If you want your kids to eat a wide range of wholesome foods, serve them what you're eating (and make sure there's a vegetable on your plate!). It'll be less stressful for you (one dinner versus two), which, in turn, will boost your kids' acceptance of the "adult" menu: Studies show that a positive mealtime atmosphere led to greater food consumption in children, while negative vibes did just the opposite.
Don't keep junk in the house.
Does your daughter snatch her favorite chips from the cupboard when she doesn't like the yummy, garlicky pork chop you've put on her plate? First, continue to brush up on your "no" skills. Second, don't buy crap food. "It's the parents' job to provide healthy food," says Blatner. "It's the kid's job to eat or not eat."
Be consistent about what's verboten.
Kids push boundaries. If you ease up on rules, Junior learns that it's OK to reject veggies, snack on candy and behave like a banshee at mealtime. And that's not OK. "You wouldn't let your child run into the street," says Cathleen Piazza, Ph.D., a pediatric feeding specialist and researcher at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. "Why would you let him eat what he wants and send him on his way to a heart attack [in adulthood]?" Junk food isn't as immediate a peril as, say, traffic, but you get the gist: Be a parent!
No. 2 Make a Fresh Start
It's much easier to get children under 2 years to eat collard greens and lima beans. Studies show that the earlier you introduce a food, the more likely a child will accept it and continue to eat it throughout his lifetime. If your child is over 2, don't worry: Research also shows that the palate of anyone, any age, can be changed via what nutritionists call "habituation" and "flavor training." For example: Say you start using less salt, per doctor's orders. In a few weeks, salt-laden soups and frozen meals will likely taste too salty.
Keep it fresh and simple.
Creating an adventurous eater is a lot easier when you serve fresh food, says Alice Waters, founder of the Edible Schoolyard Project, a 16-year-old nationwide program that teaches students to grow, harvest and prepare their own foods. "Parents and restaurants alike think that you have to play games to get children to eat what's good for them," says Waters. "But kids like real food that is simple and ripe." Let your child experiment with dipping a fresh cherry tomato into pesto sauce or a carrot into vinaigrette "so he can taste things singly and explore flavors one by one," suggests Waters.
Introduce a new food paired with a familiar one
Robin Miller, host of Food Network's Quick Fix Meals With Robin Miller and mom of two boys, suggests that you present a plate filled with much-loved meatloaf, rice and strawberries, but reserve a quarter of the plate for zucchini and a little (familiar) ranch dressing for dipping. This reduces the intimidation factor and boosts the odds of acceptance.
No. 3 Go on an Adventure
When exposure to a new cuisine is a vibrant, fun-filled experience, your child will have positive memories with that food forever. Escapades your kids will love:
Food-truck lollapalooza.
Children cherish the jingling ice-cream truck, so build on that familiarity with a visit to a gourmet truck lineup that serves Korean BBQ tacos or grilled Manchego sandwiches (a twist on the traditional American grease cheese sandwich). A final stop at the dessert truck can be the big reward. To find food trucks in your area, visit roaminghunger.com.
Destination: dinner safari.
First, pull out that old globe or world map (or bring one up onscreen). Ask your child to point to a country he's learning about in school or simply wants to know more about. (With younger kids, this can be a fairly random choice!) A country's food reflects its geography, economy and cultural traditions. Then plan a monthly visit to a Japanese, Argentine, Korean, Turkish, Italian (or whatever) restaurant.
Call of nature.
At farmers markets, teach your child to ask vendors where the tomatoes were grown and whether pesticides were used. At Asian shops, younger kids may be a bit traumatized when learning that Nemo (the catfish swimming in the tank) and Clucky (the squawking hen in the cage) are destined for the dinner table, but older kids will be fascinated by their connection to the food chain. At Indian markets, take a deep whiff of all the wonderful spices you've never heard of and ask the purveyor how to use them in your kitchen.
No. 4 They're Hired!
A Canadian study found that kids who regularly helped with meal prep preferred healthier foods and ate 10 percent more of their veggies than the kitchen-slackers. Here's how to put yours to work:
Supermarket sweep.
Melissa d'Arabian, host of the Food Network's Ten Dollar Dinners and author of Ten Dollar Dinners: 140 Recipes and Tips to Elevate Simple, Fresh Meals Any Night of the Week, has four daughters ages 5 to 7. In the grocery store, the girls are in charge. "I ask them to go find the best kale to put in smoothies," says d'Arabian, who teaches them to pick produce for high quality and flavor.
Downsize your kitchen utensils
Buy a pair of safety scissors so your child can cut fresh herbs. Use small bowls and whisks to make egg cracking and scrambling easy for little fingers. And don't forget the kid-size apron and chef hat. Kitchen work isn't just a fun, gooey science experiment. When kids help create the meal, they own the meal, boosting odds that they'll like and eat it, too.
Grow your own pizza
Plant basil, tomatoes and oregano and call it Emma's (or Liam's) Garden. Together you'll dig, till, weed and, finally, harvest for the big Pizza Night. Grow your own tacos with lettuce, cilantro and chili peppers. Or try a dessert garden: Bake a pie or a crumble with just-picked lemons or berries. "When children are engaged from an early age in the process of where their food comes from, their relationship to it is transformed," says Waters.
No. 5 Talk Turkey
…and protein, carbs, fats, vitamins and minerals at the dinner table. Teach your child that protein—poultry, fish, eggs, meat—will build her muscles so she can grow bigger and stronger. Carbs—whole-grain breads, cereals and pastas—bestow energy, so she'll be able to run and play for a longer time. Fats—avocados, nut butters, olive oil, fish—will boost brainpower and make her more alert in preschool tomorrow. Fruits and vegetables help keep her healthy, so she may not get sick as often.
When your child says "I don't like this salmon," offer a nutritionally equivalent option—like walnuts or a hard-boiled egg—and tell her that's OK, but she still needs to eat something that will build muscles and help her pay attention to the teacher in the morning. "If your kid isn't going to eat vegetables that night, give her something she loves, like blueberries," says Miller. "She'll still be getting antioxidants and fiber."
No. 6 No Power Struggles
"When mealtime is chaotic, struggles can erupt,"
Cathleen Piazza, Ph.D. suggest that with a little planning, you can defuse potentially explosive (and embarrassing) food meltdowns.
Serve two veggies and let your child pick the one he wants.
Choice empowers kids and allows them to think they're in control. One veggie should be raw jicama, carrots or anything you know he'll eat. "But he has to pick one," says Piazza. "Otherwise, the child truly is in control."
It's a fine line between respecting their likes and dislikes and changing and entire meal for them.
Just make sure there is something on the menu they'll eat. "When my child tastes something and doesn't like it, I want her to feel her opinion is valued," says d'Arabian. "After all, I never tell my husband to 'just shut up and eat it!'"
Preempt food freak-outs.
Hungry children are cranky children. Before heading to your mom's or your boss' home for dinner, give your child a quickie snack like cheese and crackers or fruit and yogurt. The blood-sugar spike will do wonders for his mood, and he'll be more open to tasting unfamiliar fare and less likely to collapse into tears.
No. 7 Rethink Your Go-to Meals
Between your job and the kids' activities, sometimes you're lucky to get mac and cheese on the table. "Most of the families I meet are flying by the seat of their pants at mealtime," says Katie Boles, R.D., a pediatric dietitian at Wake-Forest Baptist Medical Center, in Winston-Salem, NC.
We get it. "Kid food" is an easy dinner default on frantic weeknights. But if you really want to serve something more nutritious and adventurous (and we know you do, since you got this far in this article!), learn a few super-easy, healthy recipes to lean on as your "manic Monday" meal. "Have five or six easy [dishes] in your dinner arsenal that deliver a high level of nutrition and flavor," says Tyler Florence, the Food Network chef, restaurateur, baby-food mogul, cookbook author and father of three.

California Department of Transportation
District 1 - Eureka
Phil Frisbie, Jr.
(707) 441-4678
July 28, 2010
Recovery Act provides $10.4 million to improve U.S. Highway 101 through Ukiah
Eureka – Caltrans today announced that Granite Construction of Watsonville, California was awarded a $10.4 million construction contract to install sections of new pavement along a 12-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 101 in Mendocino County. The contract is entirely financed by President Obamas American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act).
"My Administration is working hand-in-hand with President Obamas team to ensure Recovery Act dollars are pumped into California quickly and responsibly to stimulate the economy and in this instance invest in the future of Californias transportation infrastructure," said Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Recovery Act provided $16 million in funding for this project, but Granites bid of $10.4 million was 35 percent lower. The $5.9 million in savings will be redirected to help pay for additional highway projects.
Sections of deteriorating concrete pavement will be removed and replaced in both directions along Highway 101 from just south of Ukiah to just north of West Road in Redwood Valley. The project will begin this summer and is anticipated to be completed by fall 2011.
Under Governor Schwarzeneggers leadership, California has obligated nearly $2.5 billion in Recovery Act funding obligated to 931 highway, local street, and job training transportation projects statewide. For more information on the Recovery Act visit: http://recovery.ca.gov/

Author Notes: Every year when I was growing up my family would go to the Wisconsin state fair. One of the things we did every time was get a cream puff. There was always a long line for them with good reason. The crispy outside and slightly custardy inside of the puff, the billowy fresh whipped cream, and a generous dusting of confectioner's sugar combined into an almost magical dessert. These were enormous cream puffs you could eat out of hand, slurping and licking the whipped cream as it oozed out of the shell. Ahhh, memories.
The first summer I was living in Oregon I asked a co-worker who was going to the state fair if they had cream puffs. She looked at me like I had sprouted an extra head, and said "No. They have elephant ears." It was hard for me to accept. How could the state fair not have cream puffs?? Lucky for me the Wisconsin Baker's Association has published the recipe.
My version is based on the official version. I've tweaked the dough ingredients and the technique to make it easier with a consistently good outcome. (Using some tips from Shirley Corriher and Rose Levy Beranbaum – the food processor was a revelation for the pâte à choux!) I've gone way off the reservation with the filling, so if you are a purist feel free to fill with lightly sweetened vanilla-flavored whipped cream. - hardlikearmour —hardlikearmour
Food52 Review: Hardlikearmour has accomplished something truly admirable with this recipe; she's made cream puffs approachable. She cleverly presses the food processor into service to cool down the dough and then incorporate the eggs; purists will insist on stirring by hand, but this technique proves the elbow grease method simply isn't necessary. She also uses an extra egg white for her puffs, reserving the yolk for glazing the tops. (Shirley Corriher explains that extra white makes for bigger puffs that don't get too gooey inside, and these certainly fit the bill). The dense cream filling is decidedly more boozy than chocolately, but that was fine with us! Who wouldn't want one of these sugar-dusted puffs to help sustain them while waiting in line for yet another go on the ferris wheel? - A&M —The Editors
Makes: about 8 puffs & enough filling for 6 so serve the prettiest 6 puffs
Cream Puffs (adapted from the Wisconsin Baker's Association)
¾ cup water, plus 2 tablespoons (divided)
¼ cup milk
6 tablespoons butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
slightly heaping ¼ teaspoon table salt
1 cup flour (5 oz)
4 eggs, 1 separated and yolk reserved
2 cups bourbon chocolate whipped cream (recipe below)
Confectioner's sugar
Bourbon Chocolate Whipped Cream (adapted from Rose Levy Beranbaum)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Dutched cocoa powder
2 tablespoons, plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon (I used Knob Creek)
Cream Puffs (adapted from the Wisconsin Baker's Association)
- Heat oven to 425º F with a rack in the lower middle position. Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray, then cover with parchment paper. (Alternately use a Silpat)
- Combine ¾ cup water, milk, butter and salt in a 2 quart heavy saucepan. Heat on medium-low, and bring the mixture to a boil. (The butter should melt before it boils.)
- Meanwhile whisk the flour for about 30 seconds to aerate and break up any clumps. In a 2 cup liquid measure combine the 3 eggs and 1 egg white and mix to combine. In a small bowl whisk together yolk and 2 tablespoons water (eggwash.)
- Once the water has just started to boil, remove it from the heat and dump all of the flour in at once. Stir the mixture with a heat proof spatula until the flour is mostly incorporated. Return to the heat, and use the spatula to smear the mixture across the bottom of the pan continuously for 3 to 4 minutes. A thin film of flour will have build up on the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer the dough to the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process for 15 seconds to cool slightly. With the processor running add the eggs through the feed tube in a stream over about 15 seconds. Stop the processor and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Process an additional 30 to 40 seconds until a smooth paste has formed.
- Transfer the paste to a gallon plastic bag, cut a ½- to ¾-inch diameter opening in one corner. Pipe the dough into a 2 ½- to 2 ¾-inch circles about 1-inch high, making sure to leave about 2 inches between puffs. Brush the puffs with the eggwash using the pastry brush to smooth the tops of the puffs in addition to coating the puffs. Take care not to get the eggwash onto the baking sheet as it will burn.
- Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375º F and bake an additional 17 to 20 minutes. The puffs should be a deep golden brown. Turn oven off. Use a paring knife to cut a slit in the side of each puff (where you plan on cutting them in half.) Place the tray of puffs back in the oven, and use a wooden spoon to crack the door open. Allow the puffs to dry in the oven for 60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on rack before splitting. Can be stored in airtight container at room temperature for a day or two - recrisp for 3 minutes in a 350º oven before serving.
- To serve cut puffs in half, fill with about 1/3rd cup of the whipped cream filling, and dust with confectioner's sugar.
Bourbon Chocolate Whipped Cream (adapted from Rose Levy Beranbaum)
- Combine cream, cocoa, and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour to allow the cocoa to dissolve. Whisk by hand or beat with a hand-mixer until stiff peaks form. Whisk in the bourbon. Use to fill cream puffs.
- Cook's note: if you don't want to use bourbon, whisk in a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead to round out the chocolate flavor.

Pop culture post-9/11
[media-credit name="FX" align="alignright" width="270″][/media-credit]
The pop cultural reverberations from 9/11 continue. Approaching the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, we take stock: How "Rescue Me," JayZ, Wilco, "Call of Duty" and more responded in the aftermath of the terror attacks. See the Denver Post entertainment staff reports, assembled here with video.

Handango bans raffle winner
Use your prize quickly, or get thrown off the system
Omnisoft, a small development company run by one John Cody, found itself chucked off the Handango web site for, apparently, trying to use advertising credit won in a raffle.
John Cody is one of a dwindling number of small-scale developers, he works alone to create and maintain five packages for Windows Mobile devices and sels them largely through the application aggregation service run by Handango.
In 2005, Cody won a raffle run by the service entitling him to $5K of free advertising on the site, a welcome boost for such a small company, and he immediately scheduled a couple of adverts, one of which appeared. Not wanting to blow his budget in one go, he waited until he was considering new releases before trying to schedule some more advertising. At this point everything started to go wrong.
You can read the painful exchange here, but basically, Handango imposed a series of new restrictions on the way in which Cody could use his prize, including a one-year time limit, which had already largely expired. Cody worked around the new limitations, bringing new versions out early and tried to promote them in a sensible fashion - all the while politely complaining about his treatment. But then he was gets kicked off the system.
"After talking with our Developer Relations Team, we have decided not to distribute your content on our network of channels from this point forward. This decision was made for a number of reasons and is supported by section 1c of your Software Distribution Agreement ... The Handango Partners Team&"
Cody pointed out that he could no longer see section 1c of the agreement as his logon had been disabled, but the relevant section indicates that Handango can de-list any product at any time at their discretion, though throwing an entire company off the system would seem to be beyond the spirit of the agreement.
It has often been suggested that the application distributors, Handango and Motricity, have an effective duopoly on hand-held application distribution. Both run their own sites, but also manage content for phone network's own portals, giving software listed on their sites a much wider reach than would be possible otherwise. For this privilege they charge around 40 per cent of the sale price, after deducting payment handing costs, though large brands can often negotiate a smaller fee.
We contacted Handango for comment on Cody: this is what it sent us.
"Handango would never terminate an agreement without good reason, in this case there is a specific reason but we cannot say what that is, to protect our business relationship with that partner."
Where credit's due
In a message board posting a representative of Handango stated this morning:
"In the case of Omnisoft, we stand by our decision to not distribute the company's content at this time, and we have issued a payment to John Cody at Omnisoft in the amount of the remaining marketing credit."
This leaves us to wonder exactly what Handango against Omnisoft, and why it won't tell us about it - given that the relationship is hardly worth protecting at this point. At least Cody can take his advertising budget elsewhere, but with Motricity being very much the junior partner in this duopoly his sales will suffer, and for a small-scale developer like Omnisoft that can be fatal. Unfortunately, we've not managed to make contact with Omnisoft yet, so we've no idea how bad the damage is.
The idea of the lone developer creating great applications hunched in their bedroom is a legacy of a simpler time when Spectrums and Electrons roamed the earth, the reality is that most applications are created by teams working for large publishing companies and based on established brands. Mobile phone utilities have enabled some small developers to survive, but the lack of reliable distribution mechanism has allowed an expensive duopoly to exist and further drive out the small-scale developer.
Handango is the largest and most powerful distributor of mobile software, and their treatment of Omnisoft indicates their confidence in the unassailability of that position. Several application developers have decided to withdraw their content from Handango in protest, though if it will be enough to lead to any leveling of the distribution market remains to be seen. ®

(This week's blog comes from Dr. Todd Finley, Associate Professor of English Education, at ECU. Dr. Finley specializes in the intersections between technology and literacy and maintains a weekly blog on Edutopia related to issues of writing pedagogy. In this post, Dr. Finley informs the university community of a project that connects the College of Education and Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences with high school teachers in our community, one goal of which is improving writing and writing instruction.)
by Dr. Todd Finley
Supported by a large grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) is a collaboration between ECU's College of Education and the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences, as well as Pitt and Greene County Schools—all joined to enrich prospective teachers' experiences and demonstrably improve the academic achievement of their public school students. These objectives are being accomplished by focusing on improving teaching and learning in four content areas: language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
Dr. Betty Beacham, TQP primary investigator, explains, "Faculty from secondary education and educational foundations programs were identified to become members of the TQP secondary design team. The team began exploring ways to merge the previous TQP curriculum and clinical practice reform in elementary, middle grades, and special education with the secondary curriculum reform driven by the Common Core.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
One of the best of the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musicals, Top Hat centers on a typical mistaken-identity plot, with wealthy Dale Tremont (Rogers), on holiday in London and Venice, assuming that American entertainer Jerry Travers (Astaire) is the husband of her friend Madge (Helen Broderick) -- who's actually the wife of Jerry's business manager Horace Hardwick (Edward Everett Horton). Complicating matters is Dale's jealous suitor Beddini (Erik Rhodes), whose motto is For the woman the kiss -- for the man the sword. Beddini is disposed of by some last-minute chicanery on the part of Jerry's faithful valet Bates (Eric Blore), paving the way for the happy ending everyone knew was coming from the opening scene. The Irving Berlin score includes Cheek to Cheek, Isn't it a Lovely Day?, and the jaunty title song. The charisma of the stars, the chemistry of the supporting players, the white-telephone art direction of Van Nest Polglaise, the superlative choreography by Astaire and Hermes Pan, and the effervescent direction of Mark Sandrich all combine to make Top Hat a winner. Originally released at 101 minutes, the film was for many years available only in its 93-minute reissue form; it has since been restored archivally to 99 minutes.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Class War
They hate us for our freedom
"Introducing Anti-Unional, a new, long-lasting anti-worker suppository…"
The anti-union push by the wealthy elites, the corporations and the reichwing politicians who do the bidding of the highest bidders is shameful. As someone raised in a union household, what went down in Tennessee recently made me feel heartsick. Mike Elk's epic article "The Battle for Chattanooga: Southern Masculinity and the Anti-Union Campaign at Volkswagen" is a must-read if you want to understand the depths these middle-management class-traitor assholes will sink to and the psychological warfare they engaged in vs. the workers. One word for it: Shameful. (This is an important piece of journalism, absolutely worth your time.)
Why not ask the Germans how they feel about union membership? They have a strong economy. They have LOTS of union members. Their unions prevent them from getting screwed over by the oligarchs. They have good wages and can raise their families without struggling. They even get a month or more of vacation. Coincidence? I should think not.
Can't have that here, now, can we? The wealthy might not like it. Look at this chart, it tells the story of what's happened in America rather succinctly and as the saying goes, numbers don't lie.
Utterly brilliant work, this video speaks for itself, so I'm just going to get out of its way:
Ten out of ten CEOs recommend Anti-Unional to their workers!
Time-released effects ensure that the 1% continue to take in a greater share of the nation's wealth!
Fast-acting formula decimates wages and benefits and a secure retirement!

If you approve of this satire, SHARE IT. So far they've only had a handful of views, this needs to go viral stat.

Affordable Care Act
Stephen H. Gorin, Julie S. Darnell, and Heidi L. Allen
This entry describes the development and key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which instituted a major overhaul of the U.S. health system, much of which took effect in 2014. The key provisions of the ACA included an individual mandate to purchase insurance, an employer mandate to offer coverage to most workers, an expansion of Medicaid to all persons below 138 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL), minimum benefit standards, elimination of preexisting condition exclusions, and reforms to improve health-care quality and lower costs. This historic legislation has deep roots in U.S. history and represents the culmination of a century-long effort to expand health care and mental health coverage to all citizens.
Asset Building Toward Inclusive Policy
Michael Sherraden, Lissa Johnson, Margaret M. Clancy, Sondra G. Beverly, Margaret Sherrard Sherraden, Mark Schreiner, William Elliot III, Trina R. Williams Shanks, Deborah Adams, Jami Curley, Jin Huang, Michal Grinstein-Weiss, Yunju Nam, Min Zhan, and Chang-Keun Han
Since 1991, a new policy discussion has arisen in the United States and other countries, focusing on building assets as a complement to traditional social policy based on income. In fact, asset-based policy already existed (and still exists) in the United States, with large public subsidies. But the policy is regressive, benefiting the rich far more than the poor. The goal should be a universal, progressive, and lifelong asset-based policy. One promising pathway may be Child Development Accounts beginning at birth, with greater public deposits for the poorest children. If every child had an account, then eventually this could grow into a universal public policy across the life course.
Asylum Seekers, Refugees, and Immigrants in the United States
Miriam Potocky
This entry presents introductory information on asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants in the United States, including distinctions among them, major regions of origin, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, challenges in social and cultural adaptation, and best practices for social work with these populations.
Capacity Development and Building
DeBrenna LaFa Agbényiga
As a profession, social workers must understand and work well within the realms of capacity development. This understanding is important because it provides a foundation for working at the micro and macro levels to engage communities, organizations, systems, and individuals. However, the complexity of capacity development has made it difficult for social workers to fully engage from this stance. This entry discusses the historical development of capacity development and building while linking it to social justice. It also provides a theoretical perspective and methods for understanding and utilizing capacity development and building in social-work practice.
Child Labor
Usha Nayar, Priya Nayar, and Nidhi Mishra
The paper presents a global scenario of child labor by placing the issue in a historical context as well as comparing current work in the field. It specifically explains the psychosocial, political, and economic determinants of child labor and the prevalence of different forms as well as its magnitude in the different regions of the world. It features innovative programs and actions taken against child labor by local governments, civil societies, and United Nations bodies—mainly the International Labor Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund. The paper also highlights multilateral collaborations among the UN and other international agencies that stand against child labor in general and the employment of children in hazardous conditions. It illustrates the cooperation among local governments, civic organizations, and child-rights movements that have brought gradual changes over the decades toward ending child labor. Further, it suggests that social work, relevant professional schools, and associations working in various disciplines should be engaged in research-based advocacy and find innovative solutions to control child labor.
Community Building
Sharon E. Milligan
This article will cover the history, theory, and empirical and practical knowledge of community building. Social networks and social ties contribute to informal social control, while neighborhood behavior is key to the development and maintenance of social cohesion. The author will provide a discussion of the relationships among these elements and their relationships to other community resources, such as civic participation and collective action. The author will discuss the empirical work regarding the effective ways to produce and promote community building in poor neighborhoods, as well as the practical knowledge that suggest its importance.
Community Economic Development
Margaret Sherrard Sherraden and Lisa Reyes Mason
Community economic development (CED) is an integrated and community-driven approach to development aimed at generating wealth, capabilities, and empowerment in low-income and low-wealth communities. Nonprofit organizations partner with public and for-profit interests to develop social and economic investment strategies for community economic renewal and revitalization. Social workers in CED engage in interdisciplinary work in community organizing, leadership development, program development and implementation, social-service management, and policy advocacy. To achieve large and sustainable success, CED requires solidarity with and investment in poor communities by society as a whole.
Community Organization
Jacqueline Mondros and Lee Staples
The authors review the history of community organization, both within and outside social work, describe the various sociological and social psychological theories that inform organizing approaches, and summarize conflict and consensus models in use in the early 21st century. We review the constituencies, issues, and venues that animate contemporary organizing efforts and indicate demographic trends in aging, immigration, diversity, and the labor force that suggest new opportunities for collective action. Finally, the authors discuss dramatic increases in organizing for environmental justice, immigrant rights, and youth-led initiatives, as well as new activities involving information technology, electoral organizing, and community–labor coalitions.
Community Planning
Elisheva Sadan
This entry discusses community planning in the context of community social work. Distinctions are made between community planning as a rational comprehensive process of the planning discipline, and the process of community planning in community social work. Community planning is defined as a process of participatory and inclusive organized social change, directed toward community empowerment, building community, and developing members' capacities to take part in democratic decision making. A three-dimensional model of empowering community planning is presented and discussed. The model focuses on the tasks of community social work in the planning process, and the empowering outcomes they can enable.
Congressional Social Work Caucus
Charles E. Lewis Jr.
The Congressional Social Work Caucus is a bicameral authorized Congressional Member Organization (CMO) founded by former Congressman Edolphus "Ed" Towns In November 2010 during the 110th Congress. The mission of the caucus is to provide a platform in Congress that will allow social workers to engage the federal government. The Social Work Caucus consists of members of the House of Representative and the U.S. Senate who are professional social workers or who generally support the ideals, principles, and issues germane to the social work profession. Because of House Ethic rules, CMOs are prohibited from possessing resources of its own and must depend on the office budgets of its members. Consequently, the Social Work Caucus participated in a number of congressional briefings and seminars in conjunction with other social work organizations such as the National Association of Social Worker (NASW), the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), and the Social for Social Work and Research (SSWR). These public events covered a wide range of topics such as social workers roles in the Affordable Care Act, military social work, funding for mental health research, and trauma-based practice in child welfare.

Alert Me
Providing a safe and secure environment for our students, faculty, staff, and community is a top priority at San Jacinto College. San Jacinto College has partnered with SendWordNow to create SJC AlertMe, which will contact members of the College community through email, voice, and text messages in the event of an emergency situation. In addition, they system will also integrate with NOAA weather alerts, offer an app for smartphone users, and push out a desktop alert during a campus or college emergency.
SJC AlertMe provides San Jacinto College with another communication tool to keep students, faculty, staff, and the community informed during threatening situations and weather-related closings. In order to receive email, voice, and text messages, you must provide your current, up-to-date, personal contact information.

All SJC AlertMe alerts will be sent via email to students' and employees' San Jacinto College email account. Text and voice messages will only be sent once. There is no cost to sign up for this notification service. However, when the system sends a voice or text message to your personal phone, you are responsible for any charges from your phone service provider associated with receiving voice or text messages.
In addition to SJC AlertMe, the College will continue to use its well-established communications methods including:

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Platform: PlayStation 3
Genre: Action RPG (Fantasy)
Developer: CDProjekt
Staff Reviews
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings review (PC)Reviewed May 23, 2011
Lewis Denby says: "If you can look past the balancing, pacing and technical issues, there is an extremely solid RPG here - nothing especially innovative, but definitely a game that sets out to be the most absorbing, rich and spectacular experience it possibly can be. Its a disappointment because it largely succeeds in that goal while fluffing the basics. The best RPG of the current generation? With a bit more care, it could have been."
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings review (PC)Reviewed July 07, 2011
Jason Venter says: "The Witcher 2 doesnt stop with waterfalls and ferns, though, or even with prostitutes and foul-mouthed dwarves and snide noblemen. It paints this fantastic world full of complicated people and it lets you interact with all of that in such a way that eventually, like Geralt himself, you are unable to continue as a passive observer. You have a stake in what happens to the people around you, a position in the middle of all of it that you chose for yourself through your prior actions."
At HonestGamers, we love reader reviews. If you're a great writer, we'd love to host your The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings review on this page. Thanks for your support, and we hope you'll let your friends know about us!

The Granite Mountain Hot Shots survived the initial explosion that caused the Yarnell Hill Fire to expand so rapidly.
A source with direct knowledge of what took place on the mountain on Sunday described what happened between 4:45 p.m., when the fire erupted, and 5:55 p.m., when the National Fire Administration estimated the firefighters deployed their fire shelters.
The source said the firefighters retreated into a previously burned area, known as "the black" to wildland firefighters.
At that point, the Granite Mountain Superintendent, Eric Marsh, spoke into his two-way radio and said, "We're in the black. We're good."
For a reason unknown to the source, the Granite Mountain crew left the area where they originally fled and tried to make it to a nearby ranch.
Fire investigators say the ranch was the crew's designated safety zone. But they never made it. The fire overtook the team in a basin, about a quarter of a mile from the ranch.
