Hello everyone. I'm hoping it's okay to post this, since it's really only hinting at LeeShika fluff instead of being pure yaoi. ^^;
I don't think you need to know anything about shogi for this fic to make sense. I tried to keep that part simple. If I made something confusing/wrong please tell me and I'll try to fix it. *bows* Thank you and please enjoy.
Working title: The Way He Moves
Pairing: Hints of Shikamaru/Lee
Stats: 4 pages; lacking in spoilers or a specific spot in the Naruto timeline
Notes: Lee's strategy is simple, but there's something about him that keeps Shikamaru guessing.
Shogi is a simple game when you look at its most basic level. With only nine types of pieces, each restricted to a specific type of movements, there are a limited number of possible moves so long at you count them turn by turn. It is not in the pieces or the board that the complexity lies, but in the partner.
That was the reason Shikamaru played this way, plotting out two completely different strategies on his own. Playing against himself was little fun, since he already knew all too well what he was thinking. Besides, the outcome was boring. He never lost to himself. Or rather, he always lost, depending upon the point of view.
It was far more interesting to plot moves for a theoretical opponent. Over time he could single out strategies they might favor, working out the most likely moves of someone who wasn't there to decide for themselves. That was a far more interesting pastime than second-guessing himself, particularly because his theoretical opponent could change each time he played, without him having to track down someone new.
He had played often against Asuma-sensei this way. Until very recently he had done it more often than he had faced off against the man himself, deliberately imagining his sensei at the top of his game in all conditions.
And, more recently, he had made attempts to plot out the way Temari would play against him. She plotted ahead in a more instinctive than specific way, he thought. That made it tricky to guess just which moves she would see through, and which she wouldn't. Ino was an opponent he had tried to play from his imagination alone, though she had never obliged him with a game. He had a feeling she would be good at shogi. She had a knack for holding some final trick or move in reserve that could serve her well, especially against an opponent who didn't know any better than to take her at face value.
The one person he had never gotten into the habit of playing imaginary games against was Chouji. He was the one person Shikamaru could talk into actually sitting down and playing against him. It wasn't Chouji's strategy that made the game interesting, but the presence of a lifelong friend.
Even though he had plenty of theoretical friends and enemies to try his hand at mimicking and defeating within the bounds of the game, lately Shikamaru had found himself imagining one boy more often than anyone else. Against all logical sense, he kept returning to the same opponent. Someone who had never made a vast commitment to shogi, or to Shikamaru himself, yet someone he couldn't keep his mind from returning to.
Lee probably wouldn't have been able to tell shogi from go before Shikamaru had attempted to teach him how to play. Strategy games obviously weren't Lee's forte. He had never showed a single glimmer of hidden genius in shogi. In fact, he was entirely too straightforward when it came to playing.
It wasn't that Lee was hopeless, just that he approached the game in the same way he would throw himself into any battle. He never held anything back, and no mater where he might find extra reserves of strength on the battlefield, he wouldn't be able to tap into that same miracle to save himself in shogi. No matter how fast you moved, no matter how much energy you had, it was impossible to cram two moves into one turn. Lee was used to doing that in his life, but it only worked in life itself and never in the world of the game.
In any case, Lee was always a good sport about losing, which had surprised Shikamaru at first. He always seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve, so it wouldn't make sense for him to hide his disappointment. It would have made sense if he didn't care in the slightest about the game, but if that was the case, would he ever bother to approach Shikamaru and ask him to play? He had only done it a few times, and never when Shikamaru hadn't already had the board out, but still the fact that Lee offered while presumably knowing he would lose was intriguing.
When Shikamaru looked up he could almost see Lee sitting on the other side of the board for a second. It wasn't logical to half-see that cheerful face when he knew the space across from him was empty. It was troublesome, thinking so much about someone who spent so much time trying to throw himself in all directions at once.
He could imagine the way Lee smiled when he lost. He never made excuses, though he was still new enough to the game that he had that right. He would only gave Shikamaru that playful grin of his and say it had been fun, and that maybe he would like to play one more game if Shikamaru could spare the time.
Maybe that was why he couldn't get Lee out of his head lately. Shogi hadn't been 'fun' for a long time. It was never the sort of fun that those careless smiles implied anymore. Not since he had figured out how to win. Even when he played with Chouji, it was only the company and not the game that made it fun. It didn't make sense to suddenly be enjoying both with Lee.
Then there was the fact that he couldn't quite wrap his head around Lee's way of playing. He might be straightforward, but not in a way that made sense intuitively. Something of the way he played depended upon his mood, which made it hard to imagine playing against Lee when the other boy wasn't truly in front of him.
Even now, the way the board was set up he would expect anyone else to take his rook, leading to him being able to drop in behind their defenses and check them within a few decisive moves. Would Lee take the bait? Looking at the pieces reasonably, and thinking only in the short term, that would be the best move. However, Lee wasn't always logical. Just because he was prone to put attack before defense didn't mean he would attack in the same way every time.
It was impossible to be sure, without knowing Lee's mood. Shikamaru stared at the board for a moment, thinking. The theoretical Lee, who was nothing more than an image in the empty place across from him, was obviously doomed. However, there was no way to be sure about the real Lee.
What if he was distracted by the way Lee put his face up close to the board in concentration? Or, when Lee rubbed his head as he tried to think, what if Shikamaru finally snapped? What if he pulled Lee's hand out of his hair and smoothed the rumpled strands back down? He had wanted to do that for quite some time now, but he was sure it had to be some sort of forfeit. If nothing else than because he had finally gone against his better judgement to satisfy a moment's whim.
Playing against Lee shouldn't be so much trouble. Lee was never deliberately impossible. It was only the way Shikamaru's thoughts on him wound themselves into knots that made things difficult. It didn't make sense. How could something so simple show so many sides? How could someone so straightforward confuse him so thoroughly?
What would Lee do? Besides showing him a myriad of distracting expressions and trying to make light conversation and making him want to reach across the table and touch him on nothing more substantial than a whim? What would Lee do with the pieces? That was supposed to be the important thing. The pieces and the board, not the way Lee made him feel as he moved one across the other.
If Lee saw the trap being set for him, if he wanted to lengthen the game and create a chance for Shikamaru to slip up. . .
Shikamaru didn't exactly jump when Lee really did appear before him, but it was a near thing. He looked up at Lee standing over him and didn't know what to say. He hadn't been doing anything wrong, imagining Lee, but still his heart was racing as if he had been caught at something unforgivable.
"Who are you playing against?" And of course Lee knew, somehow, about his habit of pretending to play against other people. He didn't know how Lee had figured out he was not merely studying the game from an academic perspective, as some people assumed. It must have been a natural conclusion, even an assumption, from the careless way Lee brought it up. He had never attempted to confirm what he thought or to impress Shikamaru with the fact that he knew.
He shouldn't have admitted it, he knew. Something in Lee's face made it plain that Lee was aware he wasn't the most exciting opponent, and so he didn't understand why Shikamaru would want him. Well, Shikamaru didn't understand it either. There was no explaining such a logic-deprived situation. Shikamaru sat back, putting his hand to his head in frustration. He couldn't explain, and he hoped Lee would know better than to ask. Lee's intuition had saved him from several such frustrating questions already.
"It's your move."
"Is it?" Lee looked at the board for a second before making a quick move and sitting down across from Shikamaru as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Not the move Shikamaru had been about to make for him. In fact, it hadn't been any of the moves Shikamaru might have chosen for Lee. He hadn't fallen into Shikamaru's carefully crafted trap, but then again, maybe he had moved too quickly and not even seen that possibility.
Or maybe he had learned to look past the surface of things, at least in shogi.
Shikamaru watched Lee frowning at the board as he tried to take in the positions of the pieces and catch up, and was struck yet again with the fact that his imagination hadn't been quite right. There was something about Lee that he kept forgetting to add into his mental calculations. He could see that, but he had never decided on just what that might be.
Lee tilted his head slightly, waiting for Shikamaru to make his next move, but for once Shikamaru wasn't concentrating on the pieces. He already knew the moves he needed to make to defeat Lee. That wasn't a concern anymore.
His true concern prompted him to reach across the table, running his fingers through Lee's hair once, catching a small twig that was caught between the strands.
Shikamaru could feel his heart going double-time again, but Lee didn't even flinch. He simply turned his head calmly, just enough to see what Shikamaru was doing, then smiled his thanks.
Shikamaru didn't know what he was doing. He liked Lee's hair. It was smooth and soft while the rest of him was warm and rough. It was practical, forgettable. It was undeniably Lee.
"It's your move," Lee reminded him politely.
Was it? And here he had thought he had just made one. By rights, Lee should have to make some move to counter his. Especially when Lee was the one who was always fighting to fit as much as he could into each moment, trying so hard to get ahead. Then again, that was life. And unlike shogi, life didn't progress in an orderly way.
Lee simply didn't make sense sometimes. Shikamaru knew he should be used to that by now. He liked Lee, but he really should know better by now. . .
So Shikamaru focused on the pieces and the board. Unlike Lee, he could at least say he understood the game intimately. It was so much less trouble to bury himself in the complexity of the patterns of possible moves than to even try to understand the simplicity that was Lee.

I really liked this, especially the way that you used shogi. Most people mention it, but skim it as a given for Shikamaru's character. The fact that you used it to explore Shikamaru's character as well as other characters was really great. I also really liked the ending, with Shikamaru putting thought into action, and Lee being so difficult to figure out in all his simplicity. ^-^

Thank you. I really had fun writing it, so I'm glad you could enjoy it. I guess it just made sense to explore it, since it's being taken as given that he plays all the time. ^^; (Sloooow with the comments. Sorry)

Santander Joins Danske Selling AT1 Debt in Market's Busiest WeekKatie Linsell
Banco Santander SA and Danske Bank A/S are marketing additional Tier 1 bonds in the busiest week for issuance of the subordinated bank debt since Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA opened the market in April.
Santander plans to sell 1.5 billion euros ($2 billion) of the contingent convertible notes while Denmark's largest bank is marketing 750 million euros of the debt, people familiar with the deals said. Nationwide Building Society sold the first notes in pounds yesterday, taking total issuance of additional Tier 1 debt by European lenders before today to about $16.3 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Issuance is growing as lenders move to comply with new European Union regulations that aim to pass bailout costs from troubled banks to investors rather than taxpayers. Demand for riskier assets is also fueling sales of the undated securities, which can be written down or converted into stock if a lender breaches preset triggers on capital ratios.
"The audience is expanding for this product every day," said Mark Holman, chief executive officer of TwentyFour Asset Management LLP in London, which oversees about $4 billion of fixed-income assets. "As you get more AT1 bonds issued, the fear factor goes away."
Additional Tier 1 notes are the riskiest form of bank debt. They have no fixed maturities and coupon payments can be deferred at the issuer's discretion.
Danske Bank's notes, which can be bought back by the Copenhagen-based lender after six years, will pay a coupon of 5.75 percent, according to a person familiar with the sale. That's the lowest yet for additional Tier 1 debt, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
'Aggressive Pricing'
Santander is marketing its bonds, redeemable after five years, to pay 6.25 percent, another person said. The securities will convert into equity if the Madrid-based bank's capital ratio fall below 5.125 percent.
Both lenders are selling the bonds for the first time and the sale from Danske will be the first from a Scandinavian bank, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"These are reasonably strong credits that should trade well," according to Simon Adamson, an analyst at CreditSights. The banks "have all been building large order books for their proposed additional Tier 1 issues this week, meaning they will probably be fairly aggressive on pricing," he wrote in a note.
The average yield investors demand to hold additional Tier 1 bonds and other contingent capital notes has fallen 36 basis points this year to 7.08 percent, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. For junk-rated corporate bonds in euros, yields have dropped to 4.48 percent, three basis points from a record low, the data show.
Junk Bonds
Another lender planning to issue additional Tier 1 bonds is KBC Groep NV. Belgium's biggest bank by market value will meet investors in Europe and Asia starting March 10 to market the securities in euros, according to a person familiar with the plan. The notes, which can be called after five years, will be convertible to equity if capital ratio fall below 5.125 percent, the person said.
Non-financial companies are also coming to the market with high-yield deals. German building materials supplier HeidelbergCement AG sold 500 million euros of five-year bonds paying a coupon of 2.25 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Moody's Investors Service may rate the notes Ba1 or one step below investment grade.
Obrascon Huarte Lain SA, a Spanish builder, issued 400 million euros of eight-year securities to yield 4.75 percent, Bloomberg data show. The notes, to be rated Ba3 by Moody's, can be bought back by the Madrid-based company after four years.
Premier Foods
Labeyrie Fine Foods SAS, a French maker of foie gras and other specialty foods, is marketing 275 million euros of seven-year bonds that may be priced to yield about 5.75 percent, according to another person. A bond sale would be the first for the St. Vincent de Tyrosse-based company, Bloomberg data show.
In the sterling high-yield market, Premier Foods Plc, the British maker of Mr. Kipling cakes, is marketing 150 million pounds ($251 million) to 175 million pounds of six-year floating-rate notes and 300 million pounds to 325 million pounds of seven-year bonds, a person with knowledge of the transaction said. The St. Albans, England-based company will use the proceeds to help refinance debt.
The cost of insuring junk-rated corporate bonds against losses fell to the lowest since July 2007, with the Markit iTraxx Crossover index of credit-default swaps on 50 European companies with speculative-grade ratings dropping 7 basis points to 254 basis points at 3:37 p.m. in London.

Walden Robert Cassotto, 14 May 1936, New York, USA, d. 20 December 1973, Los Angeles, California, USA. Darins entry to the music business occurred during the mid-50s following a period playing in New York coffee-houses. His friendship with co-writer/entrepreneur Don Kirshner resulted in his first single, My First Love. A meeting with Connie Francis manager George Scheck led to a prestigious television appearance on the Tommy Dorsey television show and a contract with Decca Records. An unsuccessful attempt at a hit with a cover version of Lonnie Donegans Rock Island Line was followed by a move towards pop novelty with Splish Splash. Darins quirky vocal ensured that his song was a worldwide hit, although he was outsold in Britain by a rival version from comedian Charlie Drake. During this period, Darin also recorded in a band called the Ding Dongs, which prompted a dispute between Atco Records and Brunswick...

HRM Online TV brings you closer to the industry's most
influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:
Filion Wakely Thorup Angeletti associate Deborah Hudson addresses the issue of suspicious medical notes and what HR can do to reduce the effect.
Video transcript below:
Caitlin Nobes, HRM TV
Caitlin Nobes: Ever had a doctor's note that made you look twice? What is your legal right for more information? My name is Caitlin Nobes, welcome to HRM TV.
Suspicious medical notes seem to increase in the summertime as workers try to [drag] their time in the sun. Lawyers see all kinds of interesting claims.
Deborah Hudson, Filion Wakely Thorup Angeletti
Deborah Hudson: We recently had a circumstance where an employee provided a note that indicated they had be off all summer due to allergies of their airconditioning. Another classic example is when employees are already on vacation abroad and they provide a medical note from a doctor abroad indicating that they are ill and they need to stay longer on this vacation.
Caitlin Nobes: An employee is required to tell employers their physical limitations and the duration of those limitations. This may not be available right away, but they have to tell their employer as soon as they can and continue to keep them informed. Lawyers recommend drafting a letter to the individual with a copy to their doctor asking specific questions about their abilities and their need for accommodation. And it's not just medical information you can request.
Deborah Hudson: In suspicious circumstances, we encourage you to ask for more information and sometimes this information may not even be medical information. So for example in the case where an employee is abroad and sends a sick note indicating their need to stay longer you may consider even asking for the documentation relating to when they booked their flight, the original itinerary and when they changed that flight itinerary.
Caitlin Nobes: If you want more information on your legal rights to access medical information, check the HRM legal section. Thanks for watching HRM TV.

Charter Communications Wins Latest Race for Time Warner Cable
Just a month after Comcast scrapped its own deal to buy Time Warner Cable, Charter buys the company, even as a European cable company waited in the wings.Charter Communications is acquiring Time Warner Cable as the musical chairs over which suitor buys the second-largest U.S. cable company is apparently coming to an end. Under the deal, Charter values Time Warner Cable (TWC) at $78.7 billion and will pay $195.71 per share for the stock, which is a premium over the $171.18 closing price for the shares on May 22. The May 26 acquisition announcement of TWC by Charter comes just a month after an earlier $45 billion TWC acquisition proposal by Comcast fell apart due to potential roadblocks from federal regulators who were leery of the merger due to concerns about unfair competition and harm to industry innovation. That merger had been proposed back in February 2014, according to earlier eWEEK reports. The musical chairs with TWC continued even after the Comcast deal went bust when Luxembourg-based cable and telecom company Altice began looking to pursue TWC last week, according to reports. Charter had also previously been mentioned as a TWC suitor.
In connection with the TWC acquisition, Charter also announced that it will pay $10.4 billion to acquire Bright House Networks in partnership with Advance/Newhouse Partnership, which is a parent company of Bright House Networks.

Partnering for a safe and strong summer
School is back in session and students across the nation are busy in the classroom and cafeteria learning and eating. But what happens to students in the summer months when school is out? Research suggests a summer learning achievement gap occurs between children from low income communities and their higher income peers when school is out. Even more, summer has been called "the hungriest time of the year" for low-income children who rely on school meals to get enough food during the school year.
In response to the summer hunger problem, the USDA created the Summer Food Service Program to give schools, agencies, non-profits, etc., the funding to be able to offer free meals to children 18 years and younger at approved low-income sites. Still, as of summer 2015, the summer meal program remained underutilized when compared to the number of low-income children accessing school meals during the regular school year.
To offer excellent programming and increase participation in the summer food program, partnering agencies in Santa Maria worked to provide physical activity, nutrition education and other summer enrichment programming at local city parks in conjunction with the Summer Food Service Program. The Safe and Strong All Summer Long program was coordinated through the Santa Maria City Recreation and Parks to provide free, drop-in recreation opportunities from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. in parks throughout the city all summer. Meals were brought to the parks and served for one hour by the local food bank and Community Action Commission staff and volunteers.
SNAP-Ed funded agencies have been encouraged to partner with Summer Food Service Programs, though the logistics of working with different agencies and providing education programs in non-traditional settings isn't always easy or clear. During summer 2016, UC CalFresh Nutrition Educators in Santa Barbara County partnered with the Safe and Strong All Summer Long food program to provide staff training and support for family enrichment and physical activities. UC CalFresh staff kicked off the partnership by leading a one-day CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) Physical Activity training for over 20 Recreation & Parks staff. CATCH focuses on inclusive physical education that keeps youth engaged and active. After the training and throughout the summer, UC staff participated weekly at two park summer meal sites encouraging youth and their families to get physically active, drink water and eat healthy. UC staff continued to provide guidance and training on-site to Recreation & Parks staff on how to engage a variety of youth of all ages in fun physical activities.
Several other partner agencies also provided engaging programming to parents while the youth were eating their lunches. The local hospital and County Public Health Department conducted food demonstrations and distributed healthy recipe food samples to parents at sites throughout the city.
In a focus group conducted in June 2016 with parents from the local school district, parents commented that they would like more information and ideas about how and where to do physical activities as a family. Participants commented that they appreciated that their children were learning how to be physically active at school, but it would be helpful to have information on how to involve the whole family: parents, siblings and all of the family so they could get exercise and enjoy their time together.
By providing free drop-in programming at local parks, in conjunction with free meals for youth, the Safe and Strong All Summer Long partnership was able to provide access to safe spaces for families to come together during the summer to be physically active and reduce food insecurity.
UC CalFresh Nutrition Educator Miguel Dia, commented that the best part of the summer partnership was "engaging the youth in a variety of different games and seeing all the different age groups participating. By the end of the summer, the older youth were actually teaching the younger youth how to do the CATCH activities."
UC Cooperative Extension takes community gardening to a new level in Riverside
UC Cooperative Extension in Riverside County is bringing together students, agencies, nutrition educators and gardening experts to work alongside families to grow produce in garden plots at a community facility.
"Many people don't know how to get started gardening," said Chutima Ganthavorn, the nutrition, family and consumer sciences advisor for UCCE and manager of its local UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program. "Gardening takes space, water, resources like seeds and transplants, plus guidance and support. Our group is going the extra mile in Riverside County to help people grow and eat healthy food."
This year, the local coalition received $10,000 in support from the Kaiser Permanente Heal Zone project to expand a vegetable garden at the Community Settlement Association (CSA), a center where community members gather for UC CalFresh nutrition classes, weekly food distributions and other services.
"A few years ago, the garden plots at the Community Settlement Association were neglected and weedy, while families struggled to get healthy food," Ganthavorn said. "UC CalFresh teamed up with UCCE Master Gardeners and CSA staff to turn them into bountiful and beautiful edible gardens. Now our coalition is growing to include UCR Community Garden and Heal Zone members, including folks from City of Riverside Parks and Rec and Riverside Community Health Foundation."
In 2014, UC Master Gardener volunteers, nutrition educators and members of the community planted vegetables in five existing garden boxes at Community Settlement Association, 4366 Bermuda Ave. in Riverside.
For planting day, neighborhood families – many who had taken part in UC CalFresh nutrition classes at the CSA – tilled the ground and planted seeds and transplants to grow tomatoes, bell peppers, summer squash, lettuce, green beans and Swiss chard.
"We're fixing up a garden for the children," said Gonzalo Rodriguez, who joined planting day with his family. "We're planting chili and tomato transplants and seeds, food that will provide vegetables and give the children the joy of caring for the plants."
In 2015, UC CalFresh arranged a $500 grant from Wood Streets Green Team, a local group that promotes sustainable living, to purchase fruit trees. Master Gardeners led volunteers to plant blackberry bushes, and peach, pluot, nectarine, plum, fuji apple and mini mandarin trees. They also planted quince, pomegranate, lemon and lime trees donated by a Master Gardener.
With the Heal Zone funds and support from UC Riverside student Claudia Villegas, the recipient of a Global Food Initiative Fellowship from the UC Office of the President, an extended garden began to take shape.
Villegas recruited students from Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Chi Theta fraternities to transform a lawn at the community center with cinderblock raised beds. She is coordinating training sessions and encouraging local families to visit.
"I want the community to feel comfortable coming to the garden," said Villegas, a senior psychology major. "I want them to just come in and hang out and interact and talk about gardening problems."
The raised-bed plots have been assigned to families in the community.
"They feel ownership and maintain the gardens," Ganthavorn said. "They can keep the produce they grow, and any extra produce goes to the weekly food distribution program at CSA."
A gardening club now meets from 9 to 10 a.m. the first Thursday of each month at the community garden. UC Cooperative Extension coordinates gardening workshops with UC Master Gardener volunteers and nutrition and cooking sessions with UC CalFresh educators.
A 4-H club for children in the community is also being developed at the CSA site by Claudia Diaz Carrasco, UCCE 4-H Youth Development advisor. The purpose of 4-H clubs is to help diverse young people discover and develop their potential and grow into competent, contributing, and caring citizens.
"We believe that CSA children will benefit a lot by participating in 4-H learn-by-doing activities within the club," Diaz said. 4-H clubs usually meet in the evenings or on weekends and offer self-chosen multiple learning experiences.
Families use money-saving shopping tips from UC to buy healthy food
Most kitchens were stocked with ample fruit and vegetables, legumes and whole wheat bread. Researchers inventoried the food in the five homes before and after the training, and were able to document significant improvements attributable to UC ANR's signature nutrition education curriculum, Plan, Shop, Save & Cook.
"The classes helped families make small changes that made a difference – leading to modest, but very important savings at the end of the month. If your cupboards are bare, an extra $5 in your wallet is significant," said Susan Algert, the nutrition, family and consumer sciences advisor for UC ANR in Santa Clara County. "The families typically turned around and spent those savings on something healthy, which is what we asked them to do."
A report on the pilot study was published this month in the Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition. The families involved were all eligible for the federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which in California is called CalFresh. The educational component, administered by UC ANR Cooperative Extension, is called UC CalFresh.
"Digging through pantries is labor intensive, but revealing," said Algert, the study's lead author. "This gives us a good idea what changes people make at home after they participate in our training."
Typically the effectiveness of nutrition education programs are judged by asking participants to answer surveys before and after they attend classes, but errors due to attention, comprehension, memory and recording can lead to inaccurate conclusions.
"Direct observation is the gold standard and is conducted by trained researchers who travel to a subject's home and record all foods present in the home – in the refrigerator, freezer, pantry and elsewhere," Algert said.
In the pilot evaluation, all the participants were Mexican or Mexican-American women 27 to 50 years old. A Spanish-speaking UC CalFresh educator presented three two-hour classes designed to help families stretch food dollars and increase consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The class sessions included information on the USDA's MyPlate nutrition guide, portion sizes, comparison shopping, label reading, menu planning, healthful fats, limiting sugars, cooking, and saving leftovers.
When the before-and-after food inventories were tabulated, the researchers were able to draw conclusions about the training.
"Having worked with Latinos for many years, this made sense to me," Algert said. "They wanted fruit that was part of the family culture from Mexico."
Four of the five families switched to whole wheat bread.
"Whole wheat bread has come down in price to $2.50 or $3 a loaf, so that is a behavior that families could change very readily," Algert said. "One family didn't change to whole wheat because the mother said the family preferred the taste of white bread."
Four of the five families were able to shop less often using skills they learning in the UC CalFresh training, including planning menus, making healthier recipes from scratch and making shopping lists.
One participant said, "I used to spend $100 to $150 a week on food. Now I spend the same amount but every two weeks. I'm saving a lot."
Another participant said sticking to a shopping list helps the family stay within a budget. "Now I avoid taking my kids to 7/11 or convenience stores because the food is not healthy and it just contributes to spending more money," the participant said. "This way, I am saving the money I can spend on healthier food."

One-stop shopping for healthy food and nutrition education
"This is a perfect example of what can happen when multiple levels of government and community organizations work together," said Luis Chavez, a member of the Fresno County School Board. "This is a model that we hope to expand across the city."
UC CalFresh, part of UC ANR Cooperative Extension, provides regular produce sampling and education in classrooms to encourage children to eat fruits and vegetables. UC ANR's Shelby MacNab, UC CalFresh program manager in Fresno, said the program is also committed to increasing access to fresh produce in the communities it serves. UC CalFresh staff will stand alongside the farm stand each Thursday to reinforce the nutrition lessons and offer nutrition class sign-ups to families.
"We are absolutely delighted to support the farm stand by providing nutrition education. Pairing greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables with nutrition education is an essential combination for transforming the health of our community," MacNab said.
On May 14, the school launched the program for 2015 with fresh cherries, oranges, jujubes, squash, green onions and baby bok choy. The produce came straight from the 10-acre Reedley farm of May Vu. The low-cost fruit and vegetables can be purchased with cash or CalFresh benefits (formerly called food stamps).
The farmer connection was facilitated by John Thao, project manager with the National Hmong American Farmers Association, another partner in the food stand effort.
"We're working to sustain the economic development of small-scale farmers," he said.
For the community around the school, the farm stand addresses the woefully inadequate grocery shopping options. Liquor stores and fast food restaurants abound. A supermarket that stood at a nearby intersection for decades is now closed.
"We want to make the healthy choice the easy choice," said Genoveva Islas, executive director of Cultiva la Salud, one of the community organizations involved in the partnership.
Theresa Calderon, principal of Vang Pao Elementary School, said the after school farm stand is popular with the students.
"The students bring a dollar and buy cherries, strawberries, whatever is in season, rather than going to the corner store and buying a slurpee and bag of cheetoes," she said "It's what's best for the students."

Shaping Healthy Choices combines approaches to make a lasting impression on kids
"Simply offering healthy options is not enough to motivate children to make healthy choices," said Sheri Zidenberg-Cherr, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Nutrition at UC Davis.
"Moreover, imposing restrictions rather than providing children with options to make healthy choices can have long-term negative effects," said Rachel Scherr, assistant project scientist, also in the UC Davis Department of Nutrition.
In 2012, more than one-third of children in the U.S. were overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Studies have shown that obese children are more likely to be obese as adults, increasing their risk for health problems including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer and osteoarthritis. To target the complex issue of eating habits, Zidenberg-Cherr and her UC Cooperative Extension and UC Davis colleagues designed a school-based program and tested it in Sacramento and Stanislaus counties through the leadership of UCCE nutrition, family and consumer science advisors Terri Spezzano and Yvonne Nicholson.
"Parents shared with me that their children are voicing input on meals and asking if they can add fruit to their salads," a participating teacher told the researchers.
During the first year that the Shaping Healthy Choices Program was implemented in Sacramento County schools, the number of children classified as overweight or obese dropped from 56 percent to 38 percent. The participating students also improved their nutrition knowledge, ability to identify different kinds of vegetables and amounts of vegetables that they reported eating.
"I tried zucchini and yellow squash when I was little and didn't like it, but now I tried it and I love it!" said a 9-year-old student.
The Shaping Healthy Choices Program takes a multifaceted approach, combining nutrition education with family and community partnerships, regional agriculture, foods available on school campus and school wellness policies.
The garden-enhanced, inquiry-based nutrition curriculum was developed by Jessica Linnell, a doctoral candidate in the Graduate Group in Nutritional Biology; Carol Hillhouse, the School Garden Program director at the Agricultural Sustainability Institute; and Martin Smith, a UCCE specialist in the Departments of Human Ecology and Population Health and Reproduction. The family and community partnerships featuring family newsletters were developed by Carolyn Sutter, a graduate student in the Graduate Group of Human Development, and Lenna Ontai, a UCCE specialist in the Department of Human Ecology. Lori Nguyen, a doctoral candidate in the Graduate Group in Nutritional Biology, Sheridan Miyamoto, postdoctoral scholar in the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, and Heather Young, dean of the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, organized community-sponsored health fairs.
The UC Cooperative Extension and UC Davis team worked with classrooms to use Discovering Healthy Choices, a standards-based curriculum that incorporates interactive classroom nutrition, garden and physical activity education for upper elementary school students. Teachers partnered with UCCE to incorporate cooking demonstrations to show the connections between agriculture, food preparation and nutrition. To reinforce the lessons at home, Team Up for Families – monthly newsletters containing nutrition tips for the parents – were sent home with the students. School Nutrition Services purchased fruits and vegetables from regional growers and distributors to set up salad bars and prepare dishes made with fresh produce. The Shaping Healthy Choices Program activities were integrated into the school wellness initiatives.
"My students shared things they learned about safe food handling and safety in cooking," said a teacher who participated in the study. "Parents said their children want to help in preparing meals at home."
"My daughter is more interested in trying new foods and eating more fruits and vegetables," reported one parent. "She often surprises the family by making a surprise salad snack for everyone."
Preliminary analysis shows that nine months after the classroom education ended, the decrease in the students' body mass index percentiles, or BMI percentiles, was sustained. "This is a big deal," said Zidenberg-Cherr, while cautiously encouraged by the program's success. "We are in the process of analyzing several aspects of the program — the data set is so complex and I have to feel 100 percent confident in our statements."
Through a partnership with UC CalFresh, the researchers have expanded the comprehensive program to schools in Placer, Butte and San Luis Obispo counties. Determining feasibility for expansion of the program for broader dissemination is planned for the 2015-2016 school year.
This project was funded by grants from the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The University of California Global Food Initiative aims to put the world on a path to sustainably and nutritiously feed itself. By building on existing efforts and creating new collaborations among UC's 10 campuses, affiliated national laboratories and the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the initiative will develop and export solutions for food security, health and sustainability throughout California, the United States and the world.

Based on the past dismal failures of mortgage-related rescue plans proposed by current or past administrations, it's difficult to believe that the latest set of plans, proposed by the Obama administration will be any more successful. In fact, it may serve as yet another way for banks and servicers to suck more money out of homeowners who are currently treading water as it is.
Past attempts include Barney Frank's Hope for Homeowners plan, started under the Bush administration, costing $300 billion. It helped one (1) homeowner.
The recent plan to modify second mortgages has helped no one.
The Making Home Affordable plan, also called HAMP, set out last year to help 4-6 million people. It has in fact potentially hurt approximately 940,000 and has served as a means for banks to suck $4-5 billion out of homeowners. According to Treasury reports 160,000 homeowners have been helped in one form or another, but in many cases a $20 reduction counts as a successful modification and often times the principal has been increased by adding arbitrary fees and charges to the original amount of loan on properties whose values have drastically decreased.
A contributing writer at ShameTheBanks.org and former Ocwen loan specialist wrote, "I challenge our government to audit these alleged loan modifications and I know for a fact they will find a huge discrepancy in the numbers. Is it too late to do that? The truth coming out would be another big fiasco to our economy and proof our Government is way behind the times and desperate if they let Ocwen run the show."
On March 26th the Obama administration announced their plans to help homeowners facing foreclosure and struggling to keep their homes. One plan aims to help unemployed homeowners - now making up a large segment of troubled borrowers. Another will attempt to address the issue of principal reduction for underwater borrowers. Some of the details of the plans are addressed in "What You Need To Know About Obama's New Mortgage Aid Plan". Anyone having had the misfortune of dealing with the previous plans will immediately see the flaws.
In order to qualify, "Homeowners must not have missed any payments on their home loans, must live in their home as a primary residence and must provide proof of income."
This is contrary to advice given to homeowners over the past year and a half, who were told by banks, servicers, and government agencies, that they wouldn't even be considered for HAMP if they were current on their payments. This factor alone excludes millions of potential candidates from this new program. JP Morgan Chase even had a message on their 800 number specifically telling customers that as long as they were current on their mortgage they wouldn't even be considered for a loan modification, according to Piotr Reysner an attorney representing homeowners in a recent Sacramento case.
Ironically, in yet another plan announced on Monday borrowers would have to be delinquent to qualify.
Once a homeowner actually does fall behind, the banks use the well known tactic of delaying the process, drawing out the payments, and "losing" paperwork. In 90 percent of the cases the process ends without a resolution or permanent modification. Alicia Morgan has been blogging about her experience with these tactics on her STB Blog.
Stephen, a member of ShameTheBanks.org, wrote, "We were promised a loan mod package in the mail before Thanksgiving. It never came. Then we were promised it before Christmas. It never came. Then it was promised in 30, 45, 60, 90 business days. It never came. Clearly because we were current they were dragging their feet. Due to that, we are now late on our mortgage just to elicit a response from them but still no loan mod. My credit score of 800 is now in jeopardy because the bank is f-ing around and doing nothing to help people like myself to stay in a home and make good on a debt after BoA was bailed out by US...the taxpayers."
According to the administration's latest program, "[unemployed] borrowers will have three to six months in which they'll have to spend no more than 31 percent of their monthly income on their mortgages. If you do find a job during that time, you will be evaluated for a loan modification that could permanently reduce your payments."
Taking into consideration that banks and servicers have not been required to provide any reason for denying a permanent modification after a trial period lasting as long as six to eight months, there is no reason to believe they will be offering modifications under this plan. In some cases they do provide a reason that is so ridiculous it defies reason. An Indiana couple was denied a permanent modification by GMAC for paying early.
What this plan will most likely accomplish will be to provide banks and servicers yet another way to extract money from desperate homeowners by providing another glimmer of false hope. In most cases the payments made during the trial period are never applied to the loan, so taking 31 percent of a family's unemployment check with a slim chance of being modified, under the guise of hope, is little more than a cruel joke.
The administration's new plan also addresses the ever elusive principal write down and may even offer banks and servicers incentive to do this. "For every dollar of principal the lender reduces, they will receive a subsidy of 10 to 21 cents". That is quite an incentive on a home that would sell for 40-50 percent of its original value at auction. What the banks decide to do with this windfall remains to be seen. So far there has been no incentive attractive enough to make a real dent in this fiasco.
Bank of America and Ocwen have been very vocal when it comes to the importance of principal reduction. They see the advantage to homeowners and Ocwen's President, Ron Faris, testified before a Congressional subcommittee saying, "In Ocwen's experience, negative equity increases the chance of a re-default by one-and-a-half to two times." So, in a nut shell, they see the importance and the urgency of principal reduction. They just don't see a need to actually do it.
In a recent interview on the Diane Rehms Show, author of "Busted" and former New York Times reporter, Edmund Andrews said, "When banks are valuing these homes at 100 cents on the dollar ... [they] are deluding themselves," referring to the refusal of banks to reduce principal on underwater mortgages.
Jack Wright of Texas recently submitted a story to ShameTheBanks.org about his 13 year ordeal with Bank of America. Despite a court testimony that Wright had overpaid his mortgage, Bank of America managed to take his home anyway. After spending 13 years litigating him into homelessness and poverty, the courts, including the Texas Supreme Court, are denying him access because he can't afford the court fees. If you're dealing with Bank of America this is a story you're going to want to read. Jack's site, MSFraud.org, provides a wealth of information for victims of mortgage servicer fraud, attorneys, and has one of the largest article archives relating to mortgage fraud.
Do I think lenders should admit that they artificially inflated the values of homes and conned homeowners into over extending themselves? Do I think they should use these programs as they are designed and help the very same homeowners they duped? Yes I do. Do I expect them to do anything that could remotely be seen as decent, fair, or honorable? Absolutely not. They have proven themselves to be wholly incapable of taking any responsibility for a crisis they helped create.
I do however expect them to take full advantage of government programs. Especially one that will allow them to continue to fleece the American public with false hope and promises that they have no intention of making good on.
