Phish to Stage Super Ball IX in Upstate NY
Talk of an upcoming Phish fest for upstate New York has been swimming around the blogs for weeks, and today (Mar. 31) the band confirms it will host Super Ball IX at Watkins Glen International in upstate New York July 1-3.
The shows will cap Phish's summer tour, which begins with a three-night stand at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, N.Y., Memorial Day weekend.
Super Ball IX is the latest in a trend of artists staging their own festivals, a concept that Phish pioneered at the major league level beginning with the Clifford Ball in 1996 in Plattsburgh, N.Y. As the title suggests, this will be Phish's ninth band-hosted fest. Super Bowl IX will be the first major music event hosted at Watkins Glen since Summer Jam in 1973.
Tickets, priced at $200 plus service fees for the three-day event, will go on sale Apr. 4 here. Onsite camping is included in the price of admission.
Like previous Phish festivals, the Super Ball IX will include numerous ancillary attractions and activities in addition to a series of performances by the band. Camping and travel packages will be available. Additional details are at www.superballix.com.
Ticket prices for each specific date on the summer tour will include a free MP3 download of the entire show. Fans purchasing Super Ball IX tickets will receive a free download of each set the band plays during the event. They can be redeemed at www.LivePhish.com, where they'll be available shortly after Phish steps off stage.
Phish is booked by Paradigm Talent -- the same team that works with Dave Matthews Band. As reported by Billboard on Mar. 9, DMB will stage four regional destination festivals this summer under the Dave Matthews Band Caravan banner, the first of which is set for June 24-26 at Bader Field in Atlantic City, N.J.
Other examples of acts controlling their own festival destiny include Zac Brown's Southern Ground Music & Food Festival in Clemson, S.C. April 8-10, the Roots' Picnic in Philadelphia June 4, and the Disco Biscuits' Camp Bisco festival in Mariaville, N.Y. July 7-9.
Phish will release "Two Soundchecks," a limited edition, 7-inch vinyl record that will be available exclusively at participating independently owned record stores beginning Apr. 16. "Two Soundchecks" marks the band's first-ever live vinyl record and their first release in conjunction with Record Store Day.
An interesting side note to the Watkins Glen site: with an estimated 600,000 in attendance, Summer Jam is believed to be the highest-attended concert ever in North America, but only 200,000 tickets were actually sold to the concert, which included the Band, the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band. So the highest ticketed event on this continent is the Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto, a SARS-related benefit at Downsview Park in 2003, which moved about 480,000 tickets.
"At Watkins Glen, we sold 200,000 tickets but had 600,000 in attendance. If we had sold 600,000 tickets, I'd be on an island somewhere, " Jim Koplik, one of the producers of Summer Jam and now a top executive with Live Nation once told Billboard.
No word on whether Phish intends to make a run at the record.
Here are Phish's summer 2011 tour dates:
5/27: Bethel, NY - Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

KARLSRUHE, Germany, Oct 1- Germany's third-largest utility EnBW could end up selling more than a planned 1.5 billion euros in assets, the group's new chief executive said on Monday.

EA Games Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
- Nice control refinements; Confidence factor and new putting scheme up the challenge
- Accuracy with analogue stick swing is hard to gauge; animations slow gameplay
Bottom Line
No doubt about it Tiger Woods 08 offers up an excellent round of 360 golf. The game-play upgrades are right on and GamesNet promises unlimited potential for online action. If you're any kind of video game golf fan, tee this sucker up!
Price$ 99.95 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 4 stores)

- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 - PlayStation 2 46.99
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 - Sony PSP 39.99
The Tiger Woods franchise has been rolling along on auto-pilot for several seasons now, but the '08 offering is prepared to up the ante for new-gen golfers. EA's Tiburon studio, fortress stronghold for Madden Football, NCAA Football, and NASCAR among others, has taken on the challenge of revitalizing Tiger's namesake and they're hitting all the greens.
As expected there are cosmetic upgrades all around. Photo Game Face enables you to map photos from a digital camera to your created golfer's noggin. There are seventeen courses including five new ones, eight new golfers, and a load of fresh animations--maybe a few too many. As good as they look, after a while you consistently find yourself punching buttons to get through to the action. But where the new Tiger really shines is with some fresh game-play improvements.
Improving Your Swing
Some key control changes really smooth out your golf game. For one, the three-click swing returns as an easy-to-access option. This is a nice complement to the game's standard analogue stick swing technique. Breaking your swing into button presses is more accurate than the hard-to-gauge stick, particularly when you're trying to save par from the rough or from out of the bunkers.
When you get your basics in gear, Tiger 08 enables you to work on your confidence to improve your game. The A.I. analyses how well you're playing for each shot you take and records this data for all future matches. This stat, measured as Confidence, affects the size of the True Aiming targeting circle (from last year), which covers the approximate area where you're aiming your shot. The more confident you are the better your odds of making that shot.
On the green the game ups the challenge level. Vets might roll their eyes at yet another adjustment to the putting game, but this one's a welcome nudge. You're still working with the familiar putting grid system, but the new Putt Line View gives you only one look at the actual path of your putt. Then you're on your own. You'll be loving the return of three-click putting here.
Beat Me
Online Tiger is introducing GamerNet for a major focus on community-building. This is basically a collection of video channels where you can upload your best shots, best rounds, or goofy golf hijinks using the game's excellent replay feature. GamerNet will also display its own challenges, which you can try to beat, such as longest drives or best course scores. Players can also upload challenges of their creation with stipulating factors, too. The mind reels at the possibilities (hit two bystanders, stay on the fairway).

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Since the 1980s the war on drugs has created what author Michelle Alexander has called a "permanent under-caste" of men, mostly black, who are convicted of drug offenses. There are more African-American men in the American corrections system now than were enslaved in 1850. The United States has a higher incarceration rate than Russia or China or other regimes considered repressive. Strained prison budgets are forcing liberals and conservatives to reconsider the laws that have led to the explosion in the prison populations. Frank Wolf, who's been involved with the evangelical Prison Fellowship, is one of many conservatives now endorsing "smart on crime" strategies rather than "get tough on crime" strategies (Newsweek, June 19).
Maggie Callanan, a hospice nurse who has witnessed more than 2,000 deaths, says many dying people experience what she calls "nearing death awareness" (as opposed to near-death experiences). In this conscious state, the dying person often talks about deceased loved ones who are waiting for them or about preparing to go on a trip. Callanan advises caregivers and family members not to correct such claims but instead ask questions that allow the person to say more about their experience. Callanan, who has co-authored Final Gifts: Understanding the Special Awareness, Needs, and Communications of the Dying, believes that patients in this state are getting a glimpse of the afterlife (Chicago Tribune, June 19).
Since 2005 the Foreign Policy journal has published an index of so-called "failed states" compiled by J. J. Messner, a former lobbyist for the private military industry. The data used to compile the list are not made public. The concept of a "failed state" originated in 1992 in an article in Foreign Policy written by two U.S. state department employees. They argued that such states were incapable of being responsible members of the international community and needed the benign guardianship of Western countries. The concept of failed states is rejected by most political scientists, but it has helped provide a rationale for foreign interventions (Guardian, June 28).
In Eichmann in Jerusalem, Hannah Arendt argued that Adolf Eichmann and other Nazi leaders responsible for the Holocaust weren't hate-filled, anti-Semitic monsters but ordinary human beings. Arendt's book remains as controversial now as when it was first published serially in the New Yorker 50 years ago. Gershom Scholem, a childhood friend of Arendt, has accused Arendt of insufficient love of Israel. Arendt said that she has never tried to deny her Jewishness, but that she has never loved any collective, be it Israel, Germany or America. "I indeed love 'only' my friends and the only kind of love I know of and believe in is the love of persons" (American Scholar, Summer).
In a recent statement Pope Francis attributed a growing financial and economic crisis worldwide to a loss of solidarity within the human family and a rejection of an ethic of the common good. The income of a minority is growing exponentially, while that of the majority is crumbling, he charged. The free market economy denies the state the necessary right to regulate the economy for the common good. The pope commended the words of St. John Chrysostom to financial experts and political leaders: "Not to share one's goods with the poor is to rob them and to deprive them of life. It is not our goods that we possess, but theirs" (VIS, May 16).

"The volume of data we're generating now from machines pales in comparison to the volume of data we'll soon generate from our own bodies," says data security expert Dave Asprey.
Writing in a Trend Micro blog, Asprey - a popular Cloud Expo speaker, past and future, and a "biohacker" who is one of the leaders in the emerging Quantified Self movement - explains his vision of a world in which personal biometrical data is shared via the cloud:
"I want to see my brain waves, my temperature, my pulse, my heart rate variability, my galvanic skin resistance, the number of steps I take, what I eat, what I breathe, who I talked to, my hormone levels, how happy I was, my brain's efficiency at any time, and anything else I can think of stored in a very large, very secure, very friendly cloud analytics application. And then I want to share that data anonymously with any researcher who is doing something cool."
In Asprey's vision, new consumer-grade medtech offerings will offer exactly this. The human body, according to Asprey "is a blank slate - there is limitless data to gather about electrical, chemical, and physiological states, as well as about behavior and location. That's not even including 24/7 audio or video."
(Here's a talk he gave at the first ever QS conference, and that was him too on the cover of the Financial Times wearing electrodes on his head.)
That's also why he's a huge believer in the log monitoring and analytics part of the cloud computing space, Asprey notes in his blog. He goes on to describe what he sees are the two key elements missing in the log management space right now:
"The 1st is real scalability, which means thinking beyond what data centers can do. That inevitably leads to ambient cloud models for log management. Splunk has done an amazing job of pioneering an ambient cloud model with the way they created an eventual consistency model which allows you to make a query to get a "good enough" answer quickly, or a perfect answer in more time. They can do this because the data is spread all over the place but it is controlled centrally, which is a hallmark of ambient cloud architecture. Plus, ambient cloud providers are valued higher than IaaS cloud vendors. That sucks for us infrastructure guys.
The 2nd thing is security. Log data is next to useless if it is not nonrepudiatable. (is that even a word?) Basically, all the log data in the world is not useful as evidence unless you can prove that nobody changed it. That's why I'm a believer in what Mark Searle, the original Addamark founder, is doing at Kinamik. His experience founding 2 early log management companies has led him to focus on the emerging problem of security for log management. It's very meta. His 1st start up a decade ago ended up focusing the other way around – on using log management for security."
Amazon has gradually rolled out parts of its IoT offerings in the last year, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to optimizing their back-end AWS offerings, Amazon is laying the ground work to be a major force in IoT – especially in the connected home and office. Amazon is extending its reach by building on its dominant Cloud IoT platform, its Dash Button strategy, recently announced Replenishment Services, the Echo/Alexa voice recognition control platform, the 6-7 strategic...

IoT generates lots of temporal data. But how do you unlock its value? You need to discover patterns that are repeatable in vast quantities of data, understand their meaning, and implement scalable monitoring across multiple data streams in order to monetize the discoveries and insights. Motif discovery and deep learning platforms are emerging to visualize sensor data, to search for patterns and to build application that can monitor real time streams efficiently.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

|Reviews for Bonded
| Ryoko05 chapter 15 . 10/1/2008
oh thats cute. Their finally a family.
| AnneBuffy chapter 15 . 10/1/2008
The chapter was great like always but you're right , maybe a little bit too mushy , at least for my taste...but I didn't also like the BIG BREAKDOWN from season 5 when Dawn and Buffy cried together...Butsometimes it has to be a liitle bit mushy, anyway , amazingly written ;-)
please update soon.
| RabidReject chapter 14 . 9/30/2008
Awesome. More soon.
| AnneBuffy chapter 1 . 9/30/2008
now I can finally comment on your great story, I've read stories on for many years now, but never registered , so as I said, I think it's awesome! you're really a great writer and write them totally in character you actually manage to demonstrate the emotions perfectly, so please update soon and write on this or further ones VERY long I love it
| lilyme chapter 14 . 9/30/2008
Hm, so they're connected in a different way here, huh...? That's interesting. We'll have to see how the Scoobies will put that knowledge to use, though.
Are we gonna see the girls seeing dead Joyce one more time?
| lilyme chapter 13 . 9/30/2008
I saw that coming. No, wait, actually I expected Ben to show up, but since I heard that the rumor that Ben...and Glory...have a connection of some sort..., I guess it's safe to say he's there as well ;)
So, where's the Buffy breakdown? Has to happen at some point... right?
OneShot...? Huh, I'm all idealess at the moment... well, maybe Faith doesn't like Halloween, finds it too scary or something. Kids in monster costumes give her the wiggins :P Would be funny somehow; or if you want sad and depressing, maybe something happened in her childhood that makes her ot like Halloween. And Buffy or anyone else could be included in that oneshot...
Or a oneshot about the Mayor spoiling her with prezzies and comics and icees and stuff. Would also be interesting.
| Lostmemories203 chapter 14 . 9/29/2008
o0o figured it out! Well this iz a definte step! lrite man! 4 a sec i thought they were dead. Like Seriously like sumbody waz gonna die. Luvin it! Plz update soon!
| Lupo669 chapter 14 . 9/28/2008
Great update! That was a surprising way for the Slayers to find out Ben was Glory's host. Knowing who the host is may move them that much closer to thinking about killing him to get rid of Glory. Will they tell Giles and the Scoob's? I could see Ripper going after Ben without a second thought given his current state of mind.
Poor Faith, she must be having all kinds of flashbacks to Kakistos and her first watcher. Feeling helpless to stop someone from hurting the people she loves.
If Buffy keeps suppressing her feelings, she's gonna end up doing something even more stupid than going on a suicide run.
I hope one of the bodies they knocked over wasn't Joyce. That would be one shock too many for Dawn.
I really liked the chapter. Please update again soon.
| Lunarcycle chapter 13 . 9/27/2008
Sweet update ;D How much longer is Buffy gonna b emotionless? I like it but damn its making me depressed ;D but that's good means im gettin into ur story KILL GLORY Good luck wit da one-shots
Later Dayz
| Lupo669 chapter 13 . 9/27/2008
Oh no! Evry single time they let their guard down for a moment. There Glory is. Does Glory have some kind of Slayer tracking sense? She always seems to find them when they are most vulnerable.
Your take on Dawn is dead on. Her scenes are really true to character. Excellent job. So now Dawn, Faith and Buffy are all trapped in the morgue with Glory and the only escape is up the elevator. This is gonna be a great fight! Maybe it'll knock some sense into Buffy.
Please keep updating...
| Lostmemories203 chapter 13 . 9/27/2008
o0o boy! SHit! O Course Glory shows up when they least expect it. I totally luv Faith rite now! Buffy not so much! Gosh! Luvin it! PLz update soon!
Um.. ideas 4 one-shotz lets c. Mayb(if it dont freak u out) a Faith/Dawn one-shot. Go 2 the Fair/Carnival have fun bondin, thingz happen. lol. Um so yea. Ur wicked awesome man!
| Buckster chapter 12 . 9/25/2008
That chapter was awesome. I was actually in tears at one point. One of the best updates yet. Keep up the good work
| Lunarcycle chapter 12 . 9/24/2008
Dang that's rough please don't let Glory kill Buffy or anyone else :( Joyce was bad enough. Great update u keep me guessing ;D Can't wait 4 the next update
Later Dayz
| f00f00 chapter 12 . 9/23/2008

An interesting piece about the whole Atwood "banned in Dubai" debacle at the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature in the Toronto Star. It was hard to get the full story when it happened last month, and reading this, it's no wonder.
The author pulled out of the festival after the British author Geraldine Bedell said her book had been banned and we all thought "UAE censorship". In the end, as it is with most things, it wasn't that simple.
There are an estimated 40,000 Canadians living in the UAE - let's find out what they are up to.

I am not questioning the intention of Atwood, but good to know the truth and set the record straight considering this incident.
I am not going to comment on the Israeli tennis player because it is a different issue, as someone commented on the news site.

Recommend this to parents who want to keep their kids minds going, but don't have a lot of time to do it. The pages can be done in as little as ten minutes. I like the page labeling--my daughter knows when she forgets to do a page a day--then she can do as many as she likes to catch up.
The cost is perfect, but these books are priceless. We will buy the next books in 2013.

Women's Rowing
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – USD women's rowing head coach Kim Cupini has announced the addition of Lindsey Hochman to her staff. Hochman has spent the past two years as an assistant coach at William Smith College and will assume the same position at USD.
"I am thrilled to be a part of such an exceptional program," Hochman said. "Following a record-breaking year, I am looking forward to helping the team build off last season's success and achieve new goals. It's an exciting place to be and I am looking forward to joining a talented coaching staff."
Hochman was named the Liberty League Assistant Coach of the year in both of her seasons at William Smith, helping guide the Herons to the NCAA Championships in 2013 and 2014. In 2013, their V8+ finished third overall and the team earned a fourth place finish.
Hochman was an instrumental part of William Smith's novice team's success as well. The Herons' novice team was named Liberty League Novice Boat of the Year the past two seasons, finishing as New York State Champions in 2013 and Liberty League Champions in 2014.
"Lindsey brings experience from several different backgrounds including her own Division I rowing career and national team experience, along with her latest success in her coaching career," Cupini said. "Having someone with this background is a unique opportunity for our program and the student-athletes. She understands the value of a strong education at the University of San Diego as well and promotes the drive to compete at the highest level."
Hochman began her coaching career at the Pocock Rowing Center, leading a team of 15 novice girls during the 2009-10 school year. Beginning in February of 2011, she served as the student cohort manager for Row to the Future, a youth development initiative of the George Pocock Foundation. The program used rowing to inspire kids to be healthy, active members of their community.
Hochman is a three-time member of the U.S. Senior National Team. She earned a bronze medal in the lightweight women's quadruple sculls at the 2009 and 2011 World Rowing Championships.
Hochman graduated from Colgate with a bachelor's degree in English. As a varsity student-athlete for the Raiders, she was a two-time All-Patriot League selection and a 2007 Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association All-Region second team pick. Hochman stroked the Colgate Varsity eight as a senior, leading the crew to a third place finish in the Patriot League Championships and a sixth place finish in the ECAC Metro grand final.

One of the Golden State Warriors' most effective moves during the course of their first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers has been posting up Klay Thompson against the Clippers guards. Thompson has been able to get to the basket or shoot a short-turnaround jumper over his smaller defenders.
Thompson said it's something that he added to his repertoire in the middle of last season, and he worked on it even more last summer.
Why not utilize it more? Because it's risky to stray too far from the normal flow of an offense, no matter how successful a breakout play can be. And the Warriors offense is at its best with the ball in Stephen Curry's hands and the other players playing off the defense's attention to him, not standing around watching one player work his matchup.
"It's something that we don't want to overkill," Thompson said at Warriors' shootaround Thursday morning. "But if it's working and I feel like I have a mismatch, I'm going to go to it. I try to go with it within the flow of the offense. If they send a double or something we've got easy looks at the rim on that.
"I've got a lot of good looks. I've been successful in that area in this series. If it's in the flow of the offense, I'm up for it. But if it's something that we're going to have to [isolate] and keep force-feeding me, I don't think it works as well for us."

5A girls basketball is anybody's game
Tom Smart, Deseret News
For the last three years, the question in 5A girls basketball is whether or not any team could compete with Syracuse High.
With the graduation of two-time Ms. Basketball Brittney Martin, and 5A Defensive MVP Makenlee Williams, the question becomes which teams will compete for that 5A championship this season.
"It should be a fun year," said fifth-ranked Layton High head coach Van Price. "There should be more parity this year than last. I still think that there are a few teams that stand out above all the rest."
Those teams are the usual powerhouses with a few newcomers joining the battle.
Last year's runner-up in the 5A state title was Weber. The Warriors made their title run after finishing third in region play, proving that anything can happen in the postseason.
The Warriors started the season ranked but suffered some losses to top 4A teams (Bonneville, Bountiful and Sky View) to drop out of the top five, although they remain in the top 20.
"We have a different team this year," said Weber head coach Rick Stoeckl. "We have six seniors with only one with varsity experience, but they are seniors and they know what we do and work really hard. We have a great group of sophomores that if they come along should really help us. Our goal right now is to make it to the state tournament."
Erin Reichle is one of the state's top scorers in any classification with an average of 21.45 points per game. She also averages nearly three assists and three steals per game.
The state's top-ranked team after the preseason is Bingham. The Miners return all of last year's team but point guard Summer Yack, who moved on to Salt Lake Community College.
The team is led by its four seniors, Ashton Henderson, Jillian Powell, Mackenzie Bruggeman and Madison Aulai-Roe. Powell leads the team in scoring with an average 11.4 points per game.
The Region 4 battle could be the most intriguing and may have the most impact on the tournament as three of the state's top teams are in Region 4 — Bingham, Riverton and American Fork.
The Silverwolves are currently ranked No. 2 in 5A, and like their rivals the Miners, the Silverwolves navigated the preseason without a loss. Their closest contest was an overtime win against fourth-ranked Viewmont.
Riverton is led by Whitney Saunders, who averages 11 points per game, Mallory Bostic, who averages 8.9 points per game, and Shelby Richards, who averages 8.4 points per game.
Riverton coach Ron Ence said the team's record is reason to hope but nothing to celebrate quite yet.
"I feel like I have a good team, and I think we can compete," said Ence, who retired last year and then decided to return to coaching this season. "There is no Godzilla out there, so a lot of teams could compete. If somebody gets hot at the right time, they could make a run. Hopefully we'll be in the mix."
American Fork is currently ranked No. 3 and has just two losses in the preseason — one to 4A's top-ranked Springville and another to an Arizona team in the Nike Tournament of Champions. The Cavemen are led by Cassidy Fraughton, who averages 10.2 points per game, with Ashley Baugh and Amy Bergeson adding seven and eight points per game, respectively.
The Vikings' two losses are to Riverton and Brighton, but they are a heavy favorite to win the Region 2 title. Viewmont is led by Caitlyn Larsen, who averages 18.6 points per game, and Katie Toole, who averages 13.9 points per game.

- summary: Multiple WebStes --> Multiple Websites
The maintenace of multiple website s become easy with
XPC since file maintenance is not a significant issue.
The process in "binding" a domain to XPC is very
simple. It is the first thign an administrator will do
when they run XPC.
They call the setup.php file (or go to the /admin/
directory (as the directory index file)). The
setup.php file includes three action (three files).
1. enter domain specific information
2. enter "master" administrators information.
3. The third and last view prompts the admin setting
up the XPC website to validate the settings that were
created when the second page was submitted and to go
back and edit them or to continue and submit ther
request and build all the necessary XPC tables.
NOTES: Multiple web sites and "domain binding" are
based on the browser environment and the current
domain config files that have been setup or created by
the XPC master admin.
Each time a new domain setup is run a new
domain_config.php file is created (can be edited at
any time).
The domain becomes a unique value that is reused. We
use it to differentiate similar tables as a prefix
variable in front of all table names like so:
The XPC file that generates all XPC web pages will
always call the same Global Functions that are
necessary for each and every page.
In regards to this documnet the function to acquire
the currentDomain parse the enviromental $HTTP_HOST
variable and exclued the www. part for consistency.
This does mean that in the domain_config.php file the
domain must be named withotu a www. part.
There are dual reasons for this.
1. a visitor might or might not type the www. so
we force consistency on the administrator rather then
an unexpected visitor.
2. This enables subdomains to be usd as new XPC
sites and be considered a unique $domain variable in
our currentDomain function.
This is a powerful and useful feature. All that is
required is to have a catchall *.sitename.com
subdomain so that anything typed before the domain
name will send the user to the same directory.
When the currentDomain function is run from the
default XPC page (that every URL is forced to run).
the $domain = currentDomain();
We then use our $domain variable to define which
$domain"._config.".php file we will include nased on
the curren domain in the browser.

Health and Nutrition Programs
Seniors CAN
Seniors CAN is a life skills educational program created by University of Nevada Cooperative Extension (UNCE) to optimize successful aging by improving older adults' quality of life and help them maintain high-quality independent living. This program addresses the needs of southern Nevada's rapidly growing elderly population in Clark County.
More than a quarter of Clark County's 85,000 new residents each year are seniors. With the majority of elderly residents being relative newcomers, many lack the traditional support structures associated with work and family. The elderly have the potential to make great contributions to the community or to overwhelm state and local budgets with medical and social service costs. The National Institutes of Health estimates that delaying nursing home entry nationwide for just one month would save the country $3 billion annually. A community-based educational intervention can be a cost-effective strategy to provide a model health intervention to reduce risk and promote the health and independence of older adults.
What Has Been Done:
The Seniors CAN curriculum includes 15 lessons on nutrition, personal safety, food safety, finance, general health and productivity over a 16-week period. Each student receives an average of 32 hours of instruction over the four-month period. The program is taught in both English and Spanish.
The program objectives are to utilize the well-documented advantages of lifelong learning in order to enhance seniors' sense of control over life, decrease loneliness and improve self-esteem, which research demonstrates leads to improved health outcomes. Using the train-the-trainer teaching model, volunteer instructors � including graduate students, senior center directors, social service providers and older adult peer educators � were recruited and trained to expand the program.
The curriculum is listed on the National Food Stamp Nutrition Connection Database and the CDC Health Promotion and Education Database, and has been sold to 31 states and Canada.
Health and Nutrition Programs
|Program Information
All 4 Kids
The University of Nevada Cooperative Extension's (UNCE) All 4 Kids: Healthy, Happy, Active, Fit program is an interdisciplinary approach to addressing child obesity. Developed by UNCE faculty from maternal/child nutrition, exercise physiology and child development, the All 4 Kids program helps children meet the Nevada Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) Standards while encouraging preschool children and families to practice healthy eating habits and be active every day.
An Apple A Day
Calcium, It's not Just Milk
The Calcium, It's Not Just Milk program's focus is to increase awareness, knowledge and skills among the target audience (11- to 14-year-old middle school students) related to increasing consumption of calcium-rich foods. These efforts have been promoted through classroom lessons and hands-on activities with the assistance and support of school district administrators and teachers.
Chefs for Kids
University of Nevada Cooperative Extension (UNCE) collaborated with the American Culinary Federation (ACF) Chefs of Las Vegas to develop nutrition education curricula that promote health practices engendering lifelong, healthy lifestyles in children. These practices can lower risk for heart disease and other chronic diseases. Chefs for Kids is an in-school nutrition education program for primary grade children in at-risk elementary schools in Clark and Washoe counties in Nevada. The program consists of two parts: an intensive, second-grade curriculum (Choose Well, Be Well) and a video curriculum (Adventures with Chefs for Kids) aimed at first-graders. The first-grade curriculum introduces the food groups to children and focuses on food for strength, growth, health and energy. The weekly second-grade program helps children choose foods that will give the greatest benefit to their bodies, as well as on physical activity and food safety practices.
Eat Smart, Live Strong
Improves fruit and vegetable consumption and use of commodity foods among seniors, many of whom are low-income, hungry or need nutrition-related assistance. The program includes classes on growing herbs and small vegetables in window pots, food safety tips and healthy recipes using commodity foods.
Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP)
The mission of Nevada's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) is to assist families with limited financial resources. Through educational support and experiential learning, the families acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and changed behavior to improve their nutritional and health status in order to prevent chronic disease and enhance family well-being. Practical application allows learners to see the relevance of information to their daily lives.
Food for Health and Soul
Food for Health and Soul is a nutrition education curriculum designed to teach skills to modify family-favorite recipes for better health. The goal of this six-session curriculum is to decrease the risk for chronic disease. The interactive curriculum encourages and teaches families to modify their favorite recipes by decreasing sugar, fat, salt and sodium and increasing fiber-rich foods during preparation, decreasing the risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and some cancers. Most lessons include food preparation and sampling.
Food Safety Project
Grow Yourself Healthy
Healthy Eating Active Living: Mapping Attributes using Participatory Photographic Surveys (HEAL MAPPS)
Healthy Eating Active Living: Mapping Attributes using Participatory Photographic Surveys (HEAL MAPPS) is a compilation of evidence-based engagement and assessment tools that is used to audit and map community environmental features that support and/or hinder healthful eating and physical activity among community members. The MAPPS method integrates photography, participatory community mapping using global positioning system (GPS) technology, and residents' voiced perceptions of their community. HEAL MAPPS engages people in community-based participatory research to document attributes of the rural community environment that are perceived by residents as obesity preventing or promoting and assess the local resources and readiness to implement community-level obesity prevention strategies to prevent unhealthy weight gain/overweight and obesity among children and their families.
Healthy Eating on a Budget
Healthy Steps to Freedom
Alcohol and drug addiction are serious, chronic and relapsing health problems for both women and men of all ages and backgrounds. Leading to physical and mental health problems, substance abuse often precipitates violence, sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy, motor vehicle crashes, homelessness, rising health care costs and obesity.
Nevada Care Connection
University of Nevada Cooperative Extension (UNCE) collaborated with the University's Sanford Center for Aging in the creation of a network for all Nevada seniors, their caregivers or relatives who need information, referral, social or health care services and case management at a single point of entry. Nevada Care Connection (NVCC) avoids duplication in the application process, is easily accessible (by phone, Internet or in person) and available 24 hours a day.
Nevada Radon Education Program
The Nevada Radon Education Program is a partnership with the Nevada State Health Division to educate Nevadans about the possible health risk posed by elevated levels of radon in the home. University of Nevada Cooperative Extension (UNCE) offers literature, educational programs and radon test kits in many county Extension offices.
Nurturing Partners
Working primarily in high schools, UNCE staff members are able to facilitate changes in knowledge, attitude and practice of teens regarding general nutrition and health, specific issues of pregnancy, breastfeeding and parenting guidance. The flexible curriculum enables staff to personalize needs for each class.
Nutrition Basics
Seniors CAN
Seniors CAN is a life skills educational program created by University of Nevada Cooperative Extension (UNCE) to optimize successful aging by improving older adults' quality of life and help them maintain high-quality independent living. This program addresses the needs of southern Nevada's rapidly growing elderly population in Clark County.
Small Steps 4 Big Changes
Parent involvement is recognized as a key factor in making wise food selections and shaping food and health behavior attitudes that affect the child's habits and food preferences. Conducted in partnership with the 4-H Youth Development Program, a series of ten nutrition lessons incorporate recipe preparation, food sampling and physical activity segments, with additional nutrition education content for the parent or adult caregiver. All lesson segments are focused on thriving within a limited budget, as well as increasing fruit and vegetable intake. This program has been successfully offered to five Reno Housing Authority (RHA) and other 4-H After School Program sites since the initial launch of the pilot program. The program fosters behavior changes identified by the Centers for Disease Control as being linked to childhood obesity prevention.
Team Nutrition "Smart Choices"
This program strives to address the public health issue of childhood obesity through building basic skills related to food selection and promoting an increased variety of nutritious foods consumed especially vegetables and fruits.
Veggies for Kids
University of Nevada Cooperative Extension's (UNCE) Veggies for Kids program takes a proactive approach toward eating and experiencing different kinds of vegetables for American Indian children at a young age.
