Dehydration is loss of or lack of adequate body fluids, such as water and important blood salts like Potassium (K+) and Sodium (Na+) for the body to carry on normal functions at an optimal level (by loss, inadequate intake, or a combination of both).
Losses of only a few percent in an adult and up to 5-percent in infants are considered mild dehydration. Vital organs like the kidneys, brain, and heart cannot function without a certain minimum of water and salt.
In underdeveloped countries, dehydration from diseases like cholera and dysentery kills millions every year (usually infants and children). Still, with severe vomiting or diarrhea and occasionally with excessive sweating, anyone can become dangerously dehydrated.
The hot summer months are just around the corner, or are here, depending upon the time of year and location. Every year one of the most frequent causes of employee injury or illness is Dehydration and Heat Stroke. Here is some information provided from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
The Danger of Dehydration & Heat Stroke: Dehydration and heat stroke are two very common heat-related diseases that can be life-threatening if left untreated.
What Is Dehydration? Dehydration can be a serious heat-related disease, as well as being a dangerous side-effect of diarrhea, vomiting and fever. Children and persons over the age of 60 are particularly susceptible to dehydration.
What Causes Dehydration? Under normal conditions, we all lose body water daily through sweat, tears, urine and stool. In a healthy person, this water is replaced by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. When a person becomes so sick with fever, diarrhea, or vomiting or if an individual is overexposed to the sun and/or hot temperatures - dehydration occurs. This is caused when the body loses water content and essential body salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium bicarbonate and phosphate. Occasionally, dehydration can be caused by drugs, such as diuretics, which deplete body fluids and electrolytes. Whatever the cause, dehydration should be treated as soon as possible.
What Are The Symptoms of Dehydration? The following are the most common symptoms of dehydration, although each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- Thirst.
- Less-frequent urination.
- Dark colored, concentrated urine.
- Dry skin.
- Fatigue.
- Light-headedness.
- Dizziness.
- Confusion.
- Dry mouth and mucous membranes.
- Increased heart rate and breathing.
In children, additional symptoms may include:
- Dry mouth and tongue.
- No tears when crying.
- No wet diapers for more than 3 hours.
- Sunken abdomen, eyes or cheeks.
- High fever.
- Listlessness.
- Irritability.
- Skin that does not flatten when pinched and released.
Treatment For Dehydration: If caught early, dehydration can often be treated at home under a health care provider's guidance. In children, directions for giving food and fluids will differ according to the cause of the dehydration, so it is important to consult your pediatrician. In cases of mild dehydration, simple rehydration is recommended by drinking fluids. Many sports drinks on the market effectively restore body fluids, electrolytes, and salt balance. For moderate dehydration, intravenous fluids may be required, although if caught early enough, simple rehydration may be effective. Cases of serious dehydration should be treated as a medical emergency, and hospitalization, along with intravenous fluids, is necessary. Immediate action should be taken.
How Can Dehydration Be Prevented? Take precautionary measures to avoid the harmful effects of dehydration, including:
- Drink plenty of fluids, especially when working or playing in the sun.
- Make sure you are taking in more fluid than you are losing.
- Try to schedule physical outdoor activities for the cooler parts of the day.
- Drink appropriate sports drinks to help maintain electrolyte balance.
- For infants and young children, solutions like Pedialyte will help maintain electrolyte balance during illness or heat exposure. Do not try to make fluid and salt solutions at home for children.
What Is Heat Stroke? Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat illness and is a life-threatening emergency. It is the result of long, extreme exposure to the sun and high heat, in which a person does not sweat enough to lower body temperature. The elderly, infants, persons who work outdoors or in hot enclosed spaces, and those on certain types of medications are most susceptible to heat stroke. It is a condition that develops rapidly and requires immediate medical treatment.
What Causes Heat Stroke? Our bodies produce a tremendous amount of internal heat and we normally cool ourselves by sweating and radiating heat through the skin. However, in certain circumstances, such as extreme heat, high humidity or vigorous activity in the hot sun, this cooling system may begin to fail, allowing heat to build up to dangerous levels. If a person becomes dehydrated and can not sweat enough to cool their body, their internal temperature may rise to dangerously high levels, causing heat stroke.
What Are The Symptoms of Heat Stroke? The following are the most common symptoms of heat stroke, although each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- Headache.
- Dizziness.
- Disorientation, agitation or confusion.
- Sluggishness or fatigue.
- Seizure.
- Hot, dry skin that is flushed but not sweaty.
- A high body temperature.
- Loss of consciousness.
- Rapid heart beat.
- Hallucinations.
How Is Heat Stroke Treated? It is important for the person to be treated immediately as heat stroke can cause permanent damage or death. There are some immediate first aid measures you can take while waiting for help to arrive.
- Get the person indoors out of the sun in a well ventilated or cooled room, or a well-shaded area away from direct sunlight.
- Remove clothing and gently apply cool water to the skin followed by fanning to stimulate sweating.
- Apply ice packs to the groin and armpits.
- Have the person lie down in a cool area with their feet slightly elevated.
- Intravenous fluids are often necessary to compensate for fluid or electrolyte loss.
- Bed rest is generally advised and body temperature may fluctuate abnormally for weeks after heat stroke.
How Can Heat Stroke Be Prevented? There are precautions that can help protect you against the adverse effects of heat stroke. These include:
- Drink plenty of fluids during outdoor activities, especially on hot days. Water and sports drinks are the drinks of choice; avoid tea, coffee, soda and alcohol as these can lead to dehydration.
- Wear lightweight, tightly woven, natural fiber (like cotton), loose-fitting clothing in light colors.
- Schedule vigorous activity and sports for cooler times of the day.
- Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat, sunglasses and using an umbrella.
- Increase time spent outdoors gradually to get your body used to the heat.
- During outdoor activities, take frequent drink breaks and mist yourself with a spray bottle to avoid becoming overheated.
- Try to spend as much time indoors as possible on very hot and humid days.
If you live in a hot climate and have a chronic condition, talk to your health care provider about extra precautions you can take to protect yourself against heat stroke.
Dehydration can be caused by excessive loss of water from the body as in:
Dehydration can also occur from inadequate intake as in:
- Vomiting.
- Diarrhea (especially well recognized in cholera).
- Excessive urine output (polyuria).
- Excessive sweating.
Dehydration in children is most often a combination of both as in:
- Nausea.
- Stomatitis or pharyngitis.
- Acute illness with loss of appetite.
Fluid losses up to 5 percent are considered mild; up to 10 percent are considered moderate; and up to 15 percent are considered severe. Severe dehydration can result in cardiovascular collapse and death if not treated quickly.
- Stomach flu with vomiting and diarrhea.
- Acute illness where the child refuses fluids and loses excessive fluid through sweating with fever.
Parents should consider the possibility of dehydration developing any time their child is ill. If you believe that dehydration is developing, they should consult the health care provider before the child becomes moderately or severely dehydrated. A few simple measures may prevent the development of severe dehydration.
Always provide adequate fluids during an illness, and pay attention to both the intake and output of fluid. For infants and young children, specific solutions (such as Pedialyte) are available that provide the right amount of electrolytes to prevent derangements of serum chemistries.
Excessive loss of fluid through vomiting or excessive, urine, stools or sweating. Poor intake of fluids. Sunken eyes. Markedly sunken fontanelles in an infant. Dry or sticky mucus membranes in the mouth. The skin may lack its normal elasticity and sag back into position slowly when pinched up into a fold (poor skin turgor). Decreased or absent urine output (oliguria or anuria). Decreased tears.
Physical examination may also show signs of:
Low blood pressure (hypotension). Rapid heart rate (tachycardia). Shock.
Tests include:
Blood chemistry tests (to check electrolytes, especially carbon dioxide). Urine specific gravity. BUN. Creatinine.
Other tests may be done to determine the specific cause of the dehydration (for example, a blood sugar test may be performed to check for diabetes).
Thirst. Dry lips. Slightly dry mouth membranes.
Very dry mouth membranes. Sunken eyes. Skin does not bounce back quickly when lightly pinched and released.
All signs of moderate dehydration. Rapid, weak pulse (more than 100 at rest). Cold hands and feet. Rapid, deep breathing (more than 20 breaths per minute). Blue lips. Confusion, lethargy, difficult to arouse. Fever (mild - less than 37°C or 100°F).
If a baby is not breastfeeding enough, if it has diarrhea or is vomiting, if it has a fever, or if the weather is very hot, a baby can become dehydrated very quickly. Dehydration is very dangerous to a baby or a young child and it may die if untreated. In addition to the warning signs above, other signs to watch out for with an infant include:
- Not urinating enough (wets less than 4 times a day).
- Dark urine.
- Eyes without tears.
- Sudden weight loss.
- Sunken fontanelle (soft spot) on an infant's head.
To check for loss of elasticity, pinch the skin on your own arm and release it. Notice how quickly it returns to normal. Then pinch the skin on the baby's belly and release it. If it returns to normal slowly, the baby may be dehydrated.
Oral rehydration may be sufficient for mild dehydration. Intravenous fluids and hospitalization may be necessary for moderate to severe dehydration. The health care provider or midwife must also determine and treat the cause of the dehydration.
In teenagers and adults with moderate dehydration, careful home treatment can be safe, but phone contact with a health care provider is advisable. Children under 10 with moderate dehydration should see a health care provider first, though hospitalization usually is not necessary.
Mild dehydration is safe to self-treat at all ages, as long as it does not worsen.
To treat dehydration, you must first address the cause: The most common reasons for dehydration may be due to fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or heat exhaustion for dehydration. While you are treating the underlying problem, begin small amounts of oral re-hydrating solution (ORS).
Have the mother breastfeed often and give the baby a lot of rehydration drink in between breastfeedings. It is best to boil the water for rehydration drink first. Give the drink with a spoon or an eye dropper. Give a few drops every minute for several hours until the baby is better.
If you do not have rehydration drink and cannot get the salt or sugar you need to make it, give plain water.
Get medical help if the infant does not get better in 4 hours. Warning!: If you, a child, or an infant becomes severely dehydrated, you must get to a hospital right away. Intravenous fluids (IVs) will quickly reverse dehydration, and are often life-saving in young children and infants.
If the baby seems ill or stops breastfeeding well, look for signs of infection.
A woman in labor is working hard and can use up the liquids in her body quickly as if she had been working out strenuously in a gymnasium. If she does not drink enough, she can easily become dehydrated from too little liquid in her body. Nausea and vomiting may occur during labor, further increasing the potential for dehydration. Dehydration will make her labor much longer and harder. She may show any or all signs (See Symptoms listed above).
To keep her from becoming dehydrated, she should drink at least one cup of liquid each hour. Liquids can include water, clear fruit juices, such as Apple Juice, and herbal teas, such as Red Raspberry Leaf alone or combined with Nettle Leaf, Peppermint Leaf, and Alfalfa Leaf teas. Ice chips and premade labor popcycles made from fruit juices and recommended herbal teas are other options. Broths and clear soups are benefical, providing needed minerals, fluids and other nutrients without overloading the digestive system during labor.
2 Parts Red Raspberry Leaf
1 Part Nettle Leaf
1 Part Alfalfa Leaf
1 Part Peppermint Leaf
A great herbal tea to help prevent dehydration during pregnancy and during labor. If a woman has problems with anemia, I increase the nettle and alfalfa to 2 parts each. This tea is very healthful in supplying the pregnant woman (and breast feeding woman after the birth) not only hormonal support through the Red Raspberry Leaf, but also supplies a large variety of nutrients, such as iron and calcium to her diet as well as adding digestive support with the use of the peppermint. Sometimes I have used Comfrey leaf as an additional herb for its healthful medicinal properties.
Brew as usual using hot water and steeping. It has a great flavor and can be consumed without sweetener or by using a touch of honey as a sweetening agent. It is a great basic tea that other herbs can be added to during pregnancy to help other dietary needs or as a medicinal base for tinctures. It can be frozen into ice pops for use during labor. This tea makes great sun-tea and can be mixed and made up in a glass gallon jar (I use an old pickle jar, well cleaned) and steep it in the sun during the summer months. The loose dry herbs can be placed in a couple of 4X4 gauze pads, opened up, placing the herbal mixture in the middle of the gauze and tied with a string or a rubber band. It can also be made using a standard drip coffee maker and coffee filters or using a "tea ball".
Hot or Cold, this is a great tea for women of all ages, regardless of pregnancy and may be beneficial while going through menopause. At least a quart of tea should be consumed throughout the day.
Her midwife should write down when and how much the mother drinks, and how often she urinates. An estimate of urine output can be noted along with the intensity of color (darker the urine, the greater the need for more fluids to be consumed). The mother should be urinating at least every 2 hours. This is important, not only to check her fluid intake and output, but also to make sure her bladder does not overfill. The overfulled bladder can hinder the process of labor causing pain, longer and more difficult labor and problems with pushing out the placenta and bleeding afterwards.
If the mother is vomiting and cannot drink one cup of liquid at once, have her take small sips after every contraction. This way she will get liquid without upsetting her stomach. These liquids may help her feel better: Coconut Water, fruit juice mixed with water, water with Sugar or Honey in it, or peppermint or chamomile tea with honey or sugar. If the labor lasts 12 hours or more, or if the mother has trouble drinking liquids, try to give her Rehydration Drink. This drink helps keep the chemicals in the mother's body balanced. If the mother feels hungry during labor, it is fine to give her foods that are easy to digest - like bread, rice or yogurt.
Commercial ORS replaces important blood salts and water in balanced amounts designed especially for dehydration in sick people They are formulated to allow the intestines to absorb maximum amounts of water along with small amounts of salts. Do not confuse ORS with sports drinks designed for concentrated energy and salt replacement in healthy, high-performance athletes. These drinks can actually aggravate vomiting and diarrhea and are so concentrated they can limit intestinal water absorption. If using a commercial brand of ORS, be sure follow instructions carefully and to taste it before giving it to a sick or dehydrated person. The solution should be no saltier to taste than tears. Dilute it with water, if needed, to a desired concentration.
Once signs of dehydration have disappeared, ORS is no longer necessary, but a clear liquid diet might still be useful if vomiting or diarrhea persists.
Type 1: With Sugar & Salt: Raw Sugar or Molasses can be used instead of sugar. Blackstrap molasses has many valuable nutrients that are very beneficial to someone who is ill, besides having a nice flavor. In 1 liter of clean water put 1/2 level teaspoon of Salt and 8 level teaspoons of Sugar. Caution: Before adding the sugar, taste the drink and be sure it is less salty than tears.
Type 2: With powdered cereal and salt: Powdered rice is best (using instant powdered Infant Rice Cereal works well, diluted with water or apple juice). Finely ground maize (corn), wheat flour, sorghum, or cooked and mashed potatoes, may be used. In 1 liter of clean water put 1/2 level teaspoon of Salt and 8 heaping teaspoons (or 2 handfuls) of powdered cereal. Boil for 5 to 7 minutes to form a liquid gruel or watery porridge. Cool the drink quickly and start giving it to the dehydrated person. Caution: Taste the drink each time before you give it to be sure it is not spoiled. Cereal drinks can spoil in a few hours in hot weather.
To either of these drinks, add a half cup of fruit juice, Coconut Water, or mashed ripe Banana, if available. This provides potassium which may help the person to accept more liquid.
Try to adapt the drink to your region. If liter containers or teaspoons are not in most homes, adjust quantities to local forms of measurement. If you do not have a measuring cup or spoons, use a pinch of salt and a small handful of sugar. where people traditionally give cereal gruels to young children, add enough water to make it liquid and use that. Look for an easy and simple way.
Rapid recognition and treatment of dehydration results in a good outcome.
Untreated severe dehydration may result in seizures, permanent brain damage, or death.
Notify your health care provider or midwife if you suspect dehydration. Note that an infant or child can become severely dehydrated at a rapid rate. Dehydration is a common problem with the elderly.

Novell openSUSE: Development Ebbing?
Last week Novell announced a layoff of almost 100 employees "in response to the global economic downturn," without any further details. New information now brings into question the software house's commitment to openSUSE.
The official statement from Novell is that the U.S. firm will lay off less than 3% of its workforce, reserving further details about areas or locations affected because of stockholder commitments. Despite rumors to the contrary, the company claims that its "SUSE, Linux and Open Source" areas will not be affected. In fact, it wants to work more closely with the community, developers and partners.
Some sources, however, paint a slightly different picture. Of the 160 openSUSE workers, around 30 (or 20%) were affected by the layoff.
Novell does not want either to confirm or deny any cuts in the popular Linux distro's development and still defers to last week's announcement. Financial results are expected February 26.

Novell hemorrhaging software customersI am not surprised. We desparately want to stay with GroupWise but are forced to used the Outlook client and Groupwise connector to ensure compatiblity with other mission critical products which are only built using .net technology and require the Outlook frontend. Unfortunately Novell has ceased development of the Groupwise connector which means we lack some of the functionality we enjoyed with the Groupwise client. It will not be long before I am forced to abandon the Groupwise engine for Exchange with all the penalties and risks that that that entails.
There must be many Novell customers in my position!
Looks Ultimately TerminalI know virtually every company has been laying people off recently, but Novell have had regular rounds of layoffs for years now and their situation has not improved. Their mainstay businesses of Netware, eDirectory and Groupwise are bleeding to death all over the floor in favour of Windows Server, AD and Exchange, and they are a company that have decided to even do a deal with their primary competitor that is doing this to them.

The Leon County Sheriff's Office says there could be more arrests in the credit fraud bust from last week. Detectives say Tony Acreus, Jeremy Frazier, and Timothy Johns were arrested for using stolen credit card numbers from Heartland Processing Systems--a New Jersey-based company that electronically processes cards for hundreds of thousands of companies and banks. The men made fraudulent purchases at local Wal-Marts in our area.
Now authorities, including the secret service, are trying to track down the stolen data. Detective Doris Mueller with the Leon County Sheriff's financial crimes unit said, "During the course of 2008, many many many cards, the estimate right now is that there are a quarter of a million businesses and a hundred million card numbers nationwide."
Authorities say Heartland is one of the largest card processors in the nation handling accounts from a wide variety of credit card companies. The Leon County Sheriff's Office says the stolen account numbers are being sold in dark on-line chat rooms.

Beyonce Debuts 'I Was Here' Live Video
Singer Shares Memories, First Glimpse of Wedding Dress in Clip
Beyoncé has a live DVD coming out soon, so to whet our appetites the singer has released a nostalgia-soaked clip for the track "I Was Here (Live at Roseland)." The deluxe DVD, "Live at Roseland: Elements of 4," hits stores Nov. 29. A shorter version, "4 Live at Roseland," will be released exclusively through Wal-Mart starting Nov. 21.
"I Was Here" splices memories throughout Bey's life, from home videos of her as a kid, to her early Destiny's Child days, to her triumphant solo work and love story with Jay-Z. As expected, there is a quick first glimpse of the star getting fitted into her wedding dress. All this to the soundtrack of Beyoncé's soaring vocal on the soaring ballad, off "4" and written by Diane Warren.
"Live At Roseland" will give fans an "up close and personal" look at Beyoncé. The 26-song live DVD documents the singer's four nights at the Roseland Ballroom in August.
The DVD includes the complete Roseland concert series and never before seen personal footage. She shares footage of her times with Destiny's Child, traveling and partying with family, the much talked about American Idol "1+1" rehearsal clip, shot by husband Jay-Z, other performances and even a sneak peak at Beyoncé's wedding dress.
The deluxe version of the DVD will have two discs and include complete concert footage, bonus offstage footage, a 20-page booklet and a video anthology that includes seven videos from her Billboard 200 No. 1 album, "4."

Bayou Blue Fire seeks tax renewal
Published: Monday, August 8, 2011 at 11:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 8, 2011 at 11:22 a.m.
Voters in Bayou Blue will decide this fall whether to renew a 10-year property tax that provides the community's Volunteer Fire Department with the bulk of its income.
The 10-mill tax would begin in 2013 and collect about $349,000 for the Bayou Blue Fire District, which protects about 4,500 homes.
How much a homeowner would pay for the tax depends on how much a home is worth. The first $75,000 of a home's value is exempt from taxes in Louisiana. The owner of a $150,000 house would pay $75 annually for the tax.
Since Bayou Blue is split between Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, each parish council must approve adding the tax measure to the Nov. 19 ballot.
The Terrebonne Parish Council will vote on the measure at 6 p.m. Wednesday during its regular meeting, held in the second-floor meeting room in the Government Tower, 8026 Main St.
The Lafourche Parish Council will introduce the measure Tuesday and vote at its Aug. 23 meeting at the Mathews Government Complex, 4876 La. 1.
The Fire Department would suffer without the property tax, said Harvey Parks Sr., chairman of the Bayou Blue Fire Protection District. The money is used to pay for the day-to-day operations of the department as well as upgrades and insurance on fire trucks, he said.
"It's the same thing we've been getting for the last 10 years," he said. "If it doesn't pass, the department would have to shut down."
The Bayou Blue Fire Department has three stations and about 35 volunteers.
The department's equipment includes five pumper trucks, one large rescue unit and one small rescue unit, Parks said.
Parks said the department hopes to upgrade the air packs firefighters use to breathe while battling blazes.
"They don't give anything away," he said of the department's money needs. "I can't afford to send men to a burning house without up-to-date equipment."
Mark Atzenhoffer, a Bayou Blue resident and former Lafourche Parish councilman, said he supports renewing the tax for a department that tries hard to protect the community.
"They do a great job. They've been to my house," he said. "They are wise with their funds."
Atzenhoffer said it is a small price to pay for a good fire department.
"It just goes to prove that you can have one agency that services two parishes," he said.

Provodnikov: I Would Be Really Tough For Mayweather
By Edward Chaykovsky
Hard-hitting WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov is confident that he could present a very tough challenge to WBC/WBA welterweight king Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs).
Provodnikov liked what he saw in Marcos Maidana's spirited effort against Mayweather earlier this month at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Maidana gave Mayweather fits and lost a close twelve round majority decision. Provodnikov feels he can do just as good, if not better, than Maidana.
"Yes I did watch the fight, it was a great fight. I'm very impressed with Maidana in his last two fights, he does a great job. If I fought Floyd, I've said before that I think that we would have a great fight. I definitely know that I wouldn't do less than Maidana, maybe more, we have similar styles but I think I can hurt Mayweather and I think it would be a really tough fight for him," Provodnikov told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.
"We'll see what happens, I don't want to get too much into dreaming right now — right now it's only part of a dream because right now there's no fight negotiated yet. Once the fight is negotiated at some point, then we can definitely talk more precisely about the way the fight would go."
[QUOTE=DempseyRollin;14664816]u really cant be that dumb. MAIDANA FIGHTS NOTHING LIKE RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV. PERIOD. they are vastly different fighters. go reread the thread where i explained that to u. its really not hard to understand if u sat down and actually…Comment by VG_Addict on 06-15-2014

Announcing the winner of the national Lights On Afterschool poster contest!
By Robert Abare
After reviewing hundreds of submissions from afterschool artists from across the country (and the world!), the Afterschool Alliance is thrilled to announce the winner of the 2016 Lights On Afterschool poster contest: Baldwin County High School's 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program in Bay Minette, Alabama!
The winning artwork will be printed on 50,000 posters and sent to all registered Lights On Afterschool events to help spread the word about the celebration. Register your event today to receive ten free posters!
About the artists
The winning poster was designed by program participants Maia Austin (17), Gabby Williams (17), and Marquez Drinkard (16). The artists were particularly inspired by the many arts activities offered by their afterschool program, including dance teams, visual art projects and cooking classes. The finished product was truly a team effort, as the poster is comprised of many separate drawings that were cut out and then pasted together.
"We talked about our favorite aspects of our program, and then we decided what we wanted the poster to look like, and who would draw each part." explained Marquez. "As you can see, we wanted it to be very colorful as well."
Marquez, who is still figuring out his plans for after high school, is considering a career in nursing, along with fellow artist Maia Austin. Gabby Williams, on the other hand, plans to serve in the United States Air Force.
About the program
Gabby expressed her gratitude for the opportunities offered by Baldwin County High School's 21st CCLC program. "I love the program because it's something productive I can do after school," she said. "I really like the cooking classes, and being with my friends at the same time."
She added, "My parents think the program is great, because it keeps me busy when I could be doing things that kids aren't supposed to do."
The Baldwin County High School 21st CCLC program serves approximately 40 students 4 days per week, and offers a range of activities that include tutoring, arts enrichment, archery, college and career exploration, and robotics.
Michele Hall, director of the program, explained how the program has provided a valuable service for her community's kids after school. "As a teacher at the high school, I saw that we had a large number of students who were not involved after school and didn't have opportunities, partly due to our rural location," she explained. "Now, the program is helping these kids grow academically and socially."
About the contest
This year, the Lights On Afterschool poster contest received over 400 submissions from 21 states—and from a U.S. military base in Japan! The poster was selected in a vote by Afterschool Alliance staff in Washington, D.C.
The winning artists' program will receive a case of syrups, courtesy of Torani, for a shaved ice or soda party. Visit the redesigned Lights On Afterschool website to search for event ideas, learn strategies to engage the media and download graphics and artwork to make your event shine.
And don't forget to register your event to get 10 copies of the 2016 Lights On Afterschool in your program's mailbox!

4-H Brings Science, Technology to Somali Youth (Minneapolis Star Tribune, Minnesota)
A 4-H program in Minneapolis is teaching Somali youth about the scientific process and trying to encourage an interest in scientific fields among students who recently moved to the United States. About 30 students in the afterschool program recently ventured to City Hall to show council members the science projects they worked on during the school year, including an LED light board and a pulley-based miniature ski lift. "It broadens the horizons of our youth," Council Member Abdi Warsame told the Star Tribune. "Math and science and engineering are the keys to the future."
D.C. District Aims to Send All Students Abroad (Education Week, District of Columbia)
The District of Columbia has an ambitious plan to stem the "enrichment gap" many low-income students experience: to send every DC public school student on two study-abroad trips before they graduate, completely free of cost. This summer, 400 8th and 11th grade students went on fully paid international trips to countries like China, France and Nicaragua. "Many of our wealthy kids would have international experiences whether we provide them or not," chancellor Kaya Henderson told Education Week. "But so many of our kids would never have this experience if we didn't provide it." The program not only covers all travel, lodging and chaperone costs, but even provides a minimum-wage stipend to families who rely on their teen's income from a summer job.
Summer Camp Teaches TV Basics (Port Huron Times Herald, Michigan)
Sixteen teens from Port Huron Schools explored the intricacies of television production at a free week-long camp this summer. The eighth- through 11th-grade students learned about project planning, storytelling, camera and audio work, post-production editing and on-camera presenting using professional-level equipment from EBW.tv. "We wanted to train students who were interested in production," PHS director of community relations Keely Baribeau told the Times Herald. "That's what this is really all about – getting some career skills into the hands of these students." Baribeau hopes the camp motivates students to join a similar afterschool program this year.
Las Vegas' Sawyer Middle School Theater Students to Perform New York-Based Play "War at Home" (Southwest View, Nevada)
Several middle school students spent their summer working hard on their improvisation, production and performance skills at the Sawyer Summer Stage program, the Southwest View reports. The summer program will culminate with performances of "War at Home," a 9/11 memorial play compiled from journal entries written by New York State high school students in the wake of the terror attacks. Several Sawyer students will also contribute their own essays about the way 9/11 changed the world and the lessons our country can learn from the aftermath.

New video makes the case for data sharing partnerships
If you have ever wondered what a successful data sharing partnership looks like, or wished that there was a resource available to help you make the case for data partnerships in afterschool, look no further. A new video released by the National League of Cities—in partnership with the Data Quality Campaign (DQC) and the Nashville After Zone Alliance (NAZA)—showcases the power of data in afterschool programming. This three-minute video, made possible with support from The Wallace Foundation, takes a look at the city of Nashville, TN and highlights the successful data sharing partnership between Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools and NAZA, a network of high-quality afterschool programming serving the city's middle school students.
Adam Yockey, Northeast Zone Director of NAZA, summarizes the value of data sharing partnerships, stating, "I believe that the afterschool providers want to be seen as a partner and a support for what is going on in the school day. If you only get data at the end of the school year, you've lost an entire year that you could have been working intentionally with that student. It helps the afterschool providers focus more on what the students actually need instead of just a program that they offer."
This video is a great example of why partnerships like the one in Nashville are so critical if we are serious about making sure that all students have the supports in place both in and out of school that will set them up for success. If you are interested in learning more about what steps can be taken to promote data sharing among partners, you can take a look at a blog I wrote earlier this summer on four policy priorities released by the DQC outlining how district leaders can take the initiative to make data work for students.

HEPA provides Santa Clara YMCA with sense of commitment, common language
By Robert Abare
Written by Matt Freeman
|Kids enjoyed reading a book with Andrew Tarbell of the San Jose Earthquakes during a YMCA of Silicon Valley summer meal program event. Photo courtesy of the YMCA of Silicon Valley on Facebook.
For Mary Hoshiko Haughey of the YMCA of the Silicon Valley in Santa Clara, California, the push toward healthy eating and physical fitness has been underway for a very long time. "We were working on this long before the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (HEPA) standards were developed," she says, "so once the YMCA-USA signed on to the standards, we were early adopters."
Haughey is Senior Vice President for Operations for the local YMCA, and her pre-HEPA work brought the Y and its afterschool programs into partnerships at the federal, state and local levels. Working with a Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, they worked to combat diabetes in the Latino community. Two Carol M. White Physical Education Program grants helped equip afterschool programs and train staff in evidence-based curriculum. In addition, the Y was a demonstration site for the California Healthy Behaviors Initiative, a joint effort between the state Department of Public Health and the nonprofit Center for Collaborative Solutions.
That effort paved the way for a partnership with the Santa Clara county health department in which the Y's afterschool programs were a vehicle for an effort to increase youth physical activity and encourage healthy eating. The county produced a resource guidebook, Fit for Learning, aimed at fully integrating healthy eating and physical activity into school lesson-planning, and the Y produced a corollary for afterschool programs, Fit for Afterschool. Both guides have since been integrated into one resource.
When HEPA standards came along, the local Y of Silicon Valley was quick to embrace them, and the standards are now in place in all of its 108 afterschool and early learning sites, as well as its summer learning and camping programs. In addition, the Ys employ the SPARK curriculum, a research-based physical education program, as well as several nutrition education curricula from various public health partners.
Each of the sites offers daily physical activity for children, providing opportunities for the moderate to vigorous exercise called for under HEPA. "We've also restricted screen time," Haughey says. "Now if there's a screen on, it's because a child is doing homework or some activity specifically targeted at academic enrichment. They're not watching a movie!"
"We'd made a lot of headway on healthy eating and physical activity before HEPA, but the standards still helped us in important ways," Haughey added. "HEPA gave us a sense of commitment to a shared effective practice, and a common language to talk about it with our colleagues locally and across the nation. When I get together with colleagues from Tennessee, we can talk about the challenges and successes."
Overcoming obstacles to build a healthier community
The effort continues to face some important challenges, and Haughey says the Y has learned a lot along the way. "One thing that becomes clear when you really start working with communities living in poverty," she says, "is that you can't just tell people, 'go eat healthy food and be active.' There are food deserts that make it hard for people to find fruits and vegetables. And the built environment in their communities isn't safe. So we've really dug into it with our community, challenging ourselves to think about how we make it doable for families living in poverty."
One other aspect of HEPA that Haughey particularly appreciates is that it's a vehicle for feedback and engagement with parents. "We let our parents know about HEPA," she says, "and they help hold us accountable. We're not perfect, and sometimes staff get a little 'creative,' and then I get phone calls from parents. I'm glad to hear from them, and it's helped create a broader awareness among our parents and families. It's good to be accountable to them."

Guest blog: Help kids reach for the stars with YouthAstroNet
By Rachel Clark
Written by Erika Wright, Science Education Specialist at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
How do we translate young people's intrinsic curiosity about space science into increased interest in STEM careers, particularly among girls and those from underserved communities? That is exactly what the Science Education Department at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics intends to learn through our YouthAstroNet Program and accompanying research project. You can apply to host your own YouthAstroNet program, and receive free training, curriculum, and access to the experts on the YouthAstroNet Team!
What is YouthAstroNet?
The Harvard-Smithsonian Youth Astronomy Network (YouthAstroNet) is an online community of youth, educators, and scientists that aims to help youth typically underrepresented in the sciences gain confidence and identity as someone who can do science through unique access to the resources of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. YouthAstroNet engages youth in grades 5-8 in a number of hands-on STEAM-related activities from image processing to engineering/design challenges. As a member of the YouthAstroNet community youth can take their own images using remotely controlled robotic telescopes, process those images using a professional-grade image-processing tool to learn more about space, and even speak directly with scientist mentors from the Center for Astrophysics.
Contribute to the research
In addition to being a diverse online community, YouthAstroNet is an NSF-funded research project that aims to determine what strategies have the highest impact when it comes to turning interest in space into belonging and career aspirations in the STEM fields. By participating in the program, and utilizing the online portal with your youth, you and your students will provide valuable data about program factors that lead to positive outcomes for youth.
Join the network!
Educators from every style of learning institution—from afterschool programs to museums to traditional classrooms—are invited to join the network with their youth and utilize resources in a way that best suits their learning environment. No prior astronomy knowledge is required. Through a 3-week asynchronous online workshop, educators are trained to use robotic telescopes, image processing software, and the interactive portal itself, as well as given access to a proven set of hands-on curriculum. Following participation in the training, educators will have ongoing access to the wide array of learning resources, as well as support from YouthAstroNet staff.
Important Dates
Application Deadline: August 24, 2016 is the formal deadline, but applications will be continue to be reviewed for the following week.
Informational Webinars: August 29 at 3:30pm ET and 6:30pmET and August 30 at 1:00pm ET and 4:30pm ET
Asynchronous Training: September 7th–21st

US Senator praises Afterschool Ambassador named 2016 Champion for Kids
By Robert Abare
|From L to R, Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) with Afterschool Ambassador Julie Wild-Curry at the 2016 Afterschool for All Challenge in Washington, D.C.
Current chair of the Alaska Afterschool Network and Afterschool Ambassador Julie Wild-Curry has been recognized for her advocacy for Alaska's youth and out-of-school time programming by being named a 2016 Champion for Kids by the Alaska Children's Trust. Wild-Curry is the Director of Afterschool Programs for the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District and a White-Riley-Peterson Fellow.
Throughout her 25 year career, Wild-Curry has advocated for increased out-of-school time opportunities for children and working families, both in Alaska and across the country. Her work helped create a strong out-of-school time network in Fairbanks, AK, which has ensured families have the support they need, and that more children have access to safe and enriching environments during the after school hours.
A letter from Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was read at a reception celebrating Wild-Curry's receipt of the Champion for Kids award on Wednesday, August 17. "What many people here this evening may not know about you is that, in addition to being an outstanding program director and mentor, you are a national leader for after school programs," said the Senator of Wild-Curry.
The Senator went on to praise Wild-Curry's work, in partnership with the Afterschool Alliance, in drafting and advocating for the Afterschool for America's Children Act, which sought to strengthen the 21st Century Community Learning Centers initiative (21st CCLC). "The bill reflected your many years of experience and your commitment to ensuring that children have the most enriching, safest after school and summer experiences possible," she said.
Senator Murkowski added, "I was proud to sponsor that bill because I know that whatever you recommend is worth supporting. That bill became law with the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act this past December."
Indeed, the Every Student Succeeds Act preserved and strengthened 21st CCLC despite significant challenges, an accomplishment that would not have been possible without the support of champions in Congress like Senator Murkowski and advocates like Wild-Curry.
Through the Champion for Kids award, the Alaska Children's Trust annually recognizes an individual that has demonstrated dedication and commitment in working toward eliminating child abuse and neglect by ensuring that children are living in safe, supportive, and nurturing communities.

Summer Program Helps Kids Learn, Volunteer (Grand Haven Tribune, Michigan)
About a dozen Grand Haven students are building relationships with their community and stemming the summer slide at Grand Haven Area Public Schools' Eastown Community Completing Homework in a Learning Lab (C.H.I.L.L.) program. The group meets twice a week to read, play math games, go on field trips and participate in a number of community service projects. The students have had a chance to serve meals at the Salvation Army, work in a community garden, help out at a food pantry and blow up basketballs for another summer recreation program. Coordinator Cathy Hegedus told the Grand Haven Tribune that the program teaches students to give back without it feeling like a chore.
A Few Swipes Swoop Youths into a New World (USA Today, California)
Low-income youths in Oakland often have little access to technology at home, so the East Oakland Youth Development Center is trying to build their digital literacy over the summer and after school. Apple recently donated 40 iPads to the Center, allowing students in the six-week summer program to go on virtual scavenger hunts, research life in other countries and mix music on GarageBand. "This is bringing a whole new world inside their backyard in a way that's safe for them to explore," Center president Regina Jackson told USA Today. The Center also holds afterschool tutoring, college preparation courses, music and art lessons and health and wellness programs.
For the Love of Running (The Garden Island, Hawaii)
An afterschool running and community service program is keeping students active and building supportive relationships among them and their peers. The program, which is put on by the Kauai Marathon and Half Marathon, held a fun relay activity last week for second and third graders at Kalaheo Elementary School. According to Robin Jumper, who runs the Kauai Marathon Youth Running Program, the group works with schools around the island to get kids up and moving. "We just want to inspire kids to get outside and have fresh air," she told the Garden Island. "They don't have to win races. They don't have to be the best. It's more about participation and just getting outside and getting some exercise."
Students Create Pavilion for School (Thermopolis Independent Record, California)
Students in the Lights On Afterschool Green Construction Academy spent three weeks designing blueprints, hauling wood and building trusses to construct a new pavilion at Thermopolis Middle School. The Academy's summer course tries to mimic a regular construction workweek – four ten-hour days every week – and even has students clock in and fill out time sheets. In addition to learning important entry-level construction skills, the youths also earn a $300 stipend and get to take home their own fully-stocked tool belt. Student Ashley Brawley said she's glad to have spent her summer in the program. "I am not really the type to woodwork or build, to be honest," she told the Thermopolis Independent Record. "This was a huge step outside my comfort zone, and I don't regret it."

August Congressional recess is great time for site visits
By Jen Rinehart

Every August, the Afterschool Alliance encourages afterschool providers to think about inviting Members of Congress, who are back in their home districts for much of the month, to come visit programs. The Afterschool Alliance offers tools to help plan a site visit, case studies of past site visits, and Q & A blogs with providers who have successfully hosted visits to make it easy to host a policy maker at a program.
Last week, I joined Congressman Lou Barletta (R-PA-11) along with his chief of staff, a staff member from Senator Casey's office, numerous state legislators and legislative staff and local superintendents for a visit to the SHINE Afterschool Program in Jim Thorpe, PA. The SHINE Afterschool Program, funded in part by a grant from 21st Century Community Learning Centers, started in three centers that served 90 students across two counties. This year, it will serve 1,200 students from 16 centers in Carbon, Schuylkill and Luzerne counties.
Creativity and flexibility are key to a successful site visit
SHINE is no stranger to organizing site visits, but they faced a unique challenge that other providers might also face in mid-late August: no students. SHINE offers summer programming, but it had ended by last week. In August, SHINE's model shifts to focus on home visits as they gear up for a new school year. So, SHINE did what they always do; they innovated. They invited a group of guests to Carbon Career & Technical Institute and arranged for staff, students and parents to give the invited guests a sample of what SHINE has to offer to students and families.
During the visit, we heard about the philosophy and quality principles behind SHINE, we experienced a home visit with one of the SHINE home visit teachers, we observed students engaging in activities similar to the opportunities they have during the school year, and we heard from a grandmother who is raising her grandchildren and values what SHINE has offered her grandkids over the years.
Policy makers praise the benefits of afterschool
Reflecting on his first visit to SHINE in 2011, Rep. Barletta said, "This program is exactly what we need to change the direction and lives of our children… Changing the direction and lives of our children is the best thing we can do for America." Rep. Barletta views SHINE as not only a model program for Pennsylvania, but for our country. State Senator Yudichak talked about meeting children and parents who talked about how much SHINE empowered them and how impressed he was by the evidence based, data-driven program that has a success record spanning more than a decade. In his words, "SHINE is improving lives in the classroom, after school and in the community."
After seeing students using computer design software to design and build cars, program robots and test out engineering skills by building bridges, it became clear why Barletta and Yudichak are such champions. In the end, it was a grandmother who stole the show, by revealing her heartfelt appreciation for SHINE and the help and safety it provides her grandchildren despite lots of challenges.
Congratulations to Rachel Strucko, Director of SHINE and the Pennsylvania Afterschool Network, PSAYDN, for getting state and federal policy makers and local media to see what SHINE is all about, and why state and federal investments in afterschool are so important.

I am using a very clever plug-in by Justin S. Peavey called "Login Stayput". The plug-in directs users right to the blog's front page when they log-in instead of taking them to the dashboard admin area first. This way they can surf the site immediately and is very handy for my site since my site requires all visitors to log-in before they can access the site at all.
The problem though is if a user logs out from the site and then logs back in from the "Successfully logged you out." page, it then takes them to the dashboard instead of the site's front page.
I was wondering if anyone has come up with a fix, hack, or mod for this plug-in so that the plg-in works for that other log-in page as well?
Many thanks.

I tried all last night and today to try to get this working.
I have the xbox dummy manual and got to the point where I load iprep, w/ the definitions.
Then I load the v1.2c firmware, check all the boxes, and it writes the files to my usb drive.
Then I turn the PC off, go to the settings and it DOES show a usb device as being available, and all other devices as Not Present (I disconnected the other devices).
So then I save the settings, restart the pc, and it comes up with this error: No Boot device detected, insert system disk and press f1 to continue or press f2 to setup menu.
What could I be doing wrong?
I also tried the v1.3 version and I got the same error.
My sata is onboard and its an NVIDIA nforce 430/410.
thanks in advance...like I said, I've been reading these forums for hours and keep learning new stuff but my head is starting to hurt from all this information!

Cento: Diamonds Reinvented
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 11:15:23 PM in Cento (25)
As the world's most valuable gems, diamonds inevitably fetch considerable attention from the masters in the jewelry making industry. Roberto Coin's Cento loves to express the beauty of the world in terms of creative jewelry pieces decorated with the rarest and most popular stones alike. Completely passionate about precious gems, Roberto also has his own share of successful explorations in diamond cuts and patterns. The Cento is Roberto's signature brand of luxury diamond pieces. What sets his Cento apart? Only a spark of ingenuity in the stone's daring 100 facets, which completely reinvented the face of round brilliant diamonds. Instead of the tradition 8 sections that create around 58 facets, Cento diamond has nine-fold symmetry with 100 facets, designed to display more brilliant light and disperse the same to create more fire. The floral patterned diamond cut that takes 12 to 15 hours to perfect by hand offer the best display of sparkling brilliance. Looking for the rarest diamond cut?
Check out Roberto Coin's Cento collection, proudly carried by authorized dealer Shreve & Co. in Post Street, San Francisco.

If you are a reader of my columns, you know that I am an avid Brandon Dubinsky fan.
However, if you have been paying any attention, there has been all kinds of talk of Dubinsky being traded.
It seems that Sather hasn't even offered Dubinsky a million a year. That means that Aaron Voros gets paid more than Brandon Dubinsky. That Dubinsky isn't even worth what a 13th forward makes.
So, this leads me to believe that Glen Sather honestly doesn't believe that Dubinsky will be in the Rangers' future as a No. 1 center, something many have projected him as.
Sadly...and this is a few months after I got a Brandon Dubinsky jersey...it seems as if his future is not one in Ranger blue. Here are a few scenarios of Dubinsky being moved that I kinda, sorta would be all right with.
