As your teaching increases, so does your classroom size. New students come by and ask to join you a few times a day. Try to make your classroom as large as possible by being a good teacher and helping your class get high marks.
Basically it's a school simulator. Sounds boring to me.

Conservative Media Celebrate Judicial Decision To Limit Women's Access To Plan B
Blog ››› ››› ADAM SHAH
Following on the heels of the trumped-up outcry over the Obama administration's regulations allowing women to have access to insurance coverage for contraception, conservative media figures are lauding a federal judge's decision allowing pharmacies to refuse to fill prescriptions for Plan B emergency contraception as well as a host of other important prescription drugs.
In 2007, in response to complaints from groups such as Legal Voice and Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, the Washington State Board of Pharmacy issued regulations to deal with pharmacies that refused to dispense lawfully prescribed medications such as Plan B and certain AIDS drugs. Pharmacies had also been accused of destroying or confiscating such prescriptions.
While preserving the right of individual pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions that conflicted with their religious or moral views, the Board of Pharmacy determined that licensed drug stores had a responsibility to fill the prescriptions that patients and doctors had decided were appropriate or necessary. Thus, if a drug store employs a pharmacist who refuse to dispense certain prescription drugs, it must have another pharmacist available who will do so.
The decision to strike down the regulations could endanger women's health. As Legal Voice and Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest said in a statement:
"We respectfully and firmly disagree with the court's decision today," said Lisa M. Stone, Executive Director of Legal Voice, which co-represented seven individuals who intervened in the lawsuit on behalf of patients. "This ruling adds another brick in the ever-growing wall between women and their health care. What's more, it ignores well-established legal principles long ago articulated by the U.S. Supreme Court."
Women's health care, contraceptive access and abortion rights are being debated across the United States, and the court's decision is yet another instance of a vocal minority injecting their beliefs between women and health care. Even as so many important discussions take place around health care, insurance, and access to health care, this ruling represents yet another interference in the doctor-patient relationship. A refusal to fill someone's prescription for personal reasons can have serious and damaging personal and public health consequences.
"This decision not only affects two pharmacists and one pharmacy, it is a blow to access to health care for all patients. When a pharmacist can refuse to serve a patient because he or she does not like the drug or the patient, where will it stop? The overarching priority in this state should be patient access to health care," said Elaine Rose, CEO of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest.
But right-wing media personalities are celebrating the decision. National Review Online's Ed Whelan and Red State's Leon Wolf both celebrated the decision, with Wolf calling it a "blow against regulatory fascism." The ruling was also mentioned by Fox News' Gretchen Carlson. All three media personalities suggested the decision might call into question the constitutionality of the Obama administration's regulations giving women access to insurance coverage for birth control.
Not only are these media figures celebrating a judicial ruling that could be harmful for women's health, a closer look at the ruling in question shows that it is also likely headed for reversal on appeal and actually demonstrates how little merit there is to the argument that the Obama administration's contraception ruling is unconstitutional.
An examination of the legal issues in the case is below the fold.
This is not the first time that the judge in the case -- George W. Bush appointee Ronald Leighton -- has tried to strike down Washington's regulations requiring pharmacies to dispense legally written prescriptions. As Legal Voice and Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest note, Leighton made a similar ruling in November 2007 when he granted a preliminary injunction barring Washington state from enforcing the regulation. But Leighton's earlier decision was reversed on appeal.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overturned Leighton's decision in a unanimous three-judge panel decision written by Clinton appointee Kim McLane Wardlaw and joined by George W. Bush appointees Richard Clifton and N. Randy Smith.
The Ninth Circuit ruled that Leighton had applied the wrong standard to the Free Exercise Clause at issue. The court held that Leighton had wrongly subjected the regulation to "heightened scrutiny," a standard under which laws are usually held unconstitutional.
The Ninth Circuit said that Leighton should have used a much less stringent "rational basis" standard, one under which laws are usually upheld: "Because the rules are neutral and generally applicable, the district court should have subject the rules to the rational basis standard of review. The district court instead introduced a heightened scrutiny to a neutral law of general applicability, contrary to" Supreme Court precedent.
Under rational basis review, the regulation in question should be upheld as constitutional so long as, in the words of the Ninth Circuit's decision, it is "rationally related to Washington's legitimate interest in ensuring that its citizen-patients receive lawfully prescribed medications without delay."
The Ninth Circuit then sent the case back to the district court to determine whether the regulations at issue passed muster under the rational basis test.
However, Leighton proceeded to defy the Ninth Circuit's ruling, deciding after a trial that the regulations at issue "are not neutral and are therefore subject to strict scrutiny."
It is difficult to see how Leighton's decision will result in anything but a swift and firm reversal from the Ninth Circuit.
Furthermore, it shows just how weak the arguments made by opponents of the Obama administration's birth control regulations actually are. After all, two Bush appointees have determined that such a regulation is a "neutral law of general applicability," should be subject to the low bar of "rational basis" review, and therefore is very unlikely to be unconstitutional under current Supreme Court precedents.

According to Nielsen numbers, Hannity lost around half of his audience in the weeks after the election, while his Fox News colleague Bill O'Reilly — who steadfastly refuses to identify himself politically as a conservative — retained around 70% of his audience.
So what happened to Hannity?
The going wisdom is that viewers who basked in his preelection anti-Obama rhetoric tuned him out when they were stunned to wake up on Nov. 7 and discover that the President had won a second term — a scenario that Hannity had all but promised could never happen.
Before the election, Hannity was riding high in the ratings and topped thought leaders on the right, like Dick Morris, Ann Coulter, Peggy Noonan and talk radio bulldog Mark Levin, who predicted Obama would lose in a landslide.
Those voices — and many others like them — all but drove the political coverage on Fox News, talk radio and conservative blogs.
But as Conor Friedersdorf wrote in The Atlantic just after the election, "Outside the conservative media, the narrative was completely different."
Because in reality, statistics proved the presidential race was in fact never even close — despite the lopsided picture delivered to faithful viewers by Hannity and those who shared his opinions.
Sean Hannity one of the big losers in the 2012 election as ratings for right-wing Fox News host crater since President Obama's win

Behold, the biggest of the macs. The artist's rendering above depicts the 32,000-square-feet temporary McDonald's that will be open for business during the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Although the restaurant will only be open for 29 days, it will become the biggest McDonald's in the world, with seating for 1,500 people. In total, four temporary McDonald's will be built in and around the Olympic Park , including one inside the Athletes' Village.
The logistics team at McDonald's expects this behemoth of a restaurant to serve around 1.75 million people during the month that it will exist, feeding the visitors who've come to London for the Olympics and the Paralympics. McDonald's has been an official sponsor of the Olympics since 1976, but this will be their largest project to date, and it's expected to set sales records. They will employ 2,000 people at this location alone, with 200 of them being brought in from other nations to serve the diverse crowd of burger-eaters.
The gold arches and gold medals have been a predictable team for a while, but this is taking it to the next level!

For the second time in two years, the auto insurance industry is asking Californians to approve a measure that would allow insurance providers to offer continuous coverage discounts when drivers switch companies.
Proposition 33 is a follow-up to Prop. 17, which California voters rejected in a June 2010 election by a 52 to 48 percent margin. Proponents say Prop. 33, by comparison, improves upon its predecessor with expanded consumer protections while allowing drivers an opportunity for lower rates in a more competitive marketplace.
"You can't shop for your discount for any other insurance carrier in the state, and we don't think that's fair," said Yes on 33 spokeswoman Rachel Hooper.
The idea seems simple on the surface, but there's actually considerable room for argument over Prop. 33, which is the latest development in more than two decades of wrangling over auto insurance laws.
Proponents say Prop. 33 would make California's auto insurance companies more competitive, but opponents at Consumer Watchdog say the measure is actually a vehicle for rate hikes disguised as a discount.
In Consumer Watchdog's view, Prop. 33 is a means to undo a voter-approved prohibition against insurers discriminating against drivers who lack auto insurance in the five years prior to their purchase of a new policy. Consumer Watchdog founder Harvey Rosenfeld pushed for that rule in Prop. 103, which passed in 1988.
Now, Consumer Watchdog says Prop. 33 would allow companies to raise fees on drivers who cancel policies for economic reasons or simply don't need to have a car for a period of time.
"If you're driving the bus, you're not breaking the law. You shouldn't have to pay more," said Consumer Watchdog Washington, D.C., director Carmen Balber.
Consumer Watchdog is not the only organization to report Prop. 33 could lead to higher insurance rates for some Californians.
The state's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst says insurers would generally charge higher premiums to customers who would not be eligible for a continuous coverage discount.
Under current law, California insurance providers can use three key factors to set rates: a driver's safety record, annual miles driven and the number of years a customer has been a driver.
There are 16 other factors insurance companies can use to set rates or discounts, including whether drivers choose to maintain coverage with their current provider.
In response to Consumer Watchdog's worries about surcharges, Hooper says drivers can already face those penalties since they could lose loyalty discounts if they lack insurance for a single day.
Prop. 33, she says, offers new protections by allowing drivers to claim continuous coverage even if they lack insurance, for any reason, for 90 days. Drivers could also claim continuous coverage after losing insurance for as long as 18 months due to layoff or furlough or for any length of time due to military service.
Children who live with a parent could receive a discount based on their parent's coverage.
Prop. 33's contributors include George Joseph, the founder of Mercury Insurance. Joseph has given more than $8.2 million to the campaign, and the Los Angeles-based Mercury led support for Prop. 17 in 2010.
Proposition 33YES means: Insurance companies could offer new customers a discount on automobile insurance premiums based on the number of years in the previous five years that the customer was insured.
NO means: Insurers could continue to provide discounts to their long-term automobile insurance customers but would continue to be prohibited from providing a discount to new customers switching from other insurers.

(NEWSER) – Yesterday, the deadliest day of the Gaza offensive, left 13 Israeli soldiers and nearly 100 Palestinians dead, and two of those Israeli soldiers were American citizens. Max Steinberg, 24, grew up in California and Nissim Sean Carmeli, 21, grew up in Texas, but both were passionate about Israel and ended up joining the Israel Defense Forces, the AP reports. Meanwhile, Hamas said it had seized an Israeli soldier yesterday, but the claim, which sparked celebrations among Palestinians, was quickly denied. "There is no kidnapped Israeli soldier; those rumors are untrue," said Israel's UN ambassador. A Hamas spokesman named the soldier as Shaul Aron, gave his military ID number, and said he had been captured during the battle that killed 13 soldiers in Gaza's Shejaia neighborhood, Reuters reports.

MUKILTEO — Identity thieves aren't particularly picky about their victims.
Mukilteo Police Chief Rex Caldwell can vouch for that.
Each year millions of Americans are victims of identity theft.
Caldwell was one in 2011.
It was an sunny weekend afternoon in the spring when he got a call from someone in security at The Home Depot wanting to check if he really had bought two lawn mowers and other items from stores in Bellevue and Everett just hours apart. The charges were made on a credit card that he hadn't used in years.
"It was at that point I knew I had been hacked," Caldwell said.
That day, he and his wife did a free credit check and found that there had been other activity in their name during the previous week.
Lines of credit had been opened with Wal-Mart, Target and other companies.
She's an accountant; he's a police chief. They knew what to do and quickly stopped the financial bleeding.
Even so, the thief, who later was caught and convicted, managed to charge nearly $10,000 on their credit. Caldwell was one of his many victims.
Caldwell knows most people aren't as well equipped to clean up the mess identity thieves leave behind.
"The average person without the knowledge and skills isn't going to know how to get themselves out of it," he said.
When the dust settled, the companies agreed Caldwell and his wife weren't responsible for the charges on their accounts. The couple did pay $300 for a credit lock and spent many hours explaining to companies what had happened to them.
Caldwell said he worries about the elderly and other vulnerable identity theft victims who are ill-equipped to deal with the fallout. He knows how prevalent the crime is around Snohomish County and across the country. It's a crime that costs tens of billions of dollars and untold stress on victims each year.
Earlier this month, Caldwell took some of his officers to lunch to recognize two recent successful investigations.
One of the cases involved an identity-theft ring.
Mukilteo officers were alerted to a room full of suspicious computer equipment at a hotel near the 8500 block of the Mukilteo Speedway. Hotel cleaning staff noticed the equipment and documents strewn about the room. Detectives served a search warrant and found computers, printers, mail and paperwork that did not belong to anyone associated with the room, Mukilteo officer Cheol Kang said. There were numerous identification cards with different names but the same photograph of one of the suspects. A printer with pages of blank check paper stock was found as well.
Three suspects, ages 31, 32, and 28, were arrested for financial fraud and forgery. They were booked into the Snohomish County Jail. The trio already was being investigated by several other local police agencies for identity theft, fraud and other financial crimes.
In Caldwell's 2011 case, the identity thief found personal financial information about him and three other Kirkland police officers. Caldwell worked for the Kirkland department before taking the top post in Mukilteo.
In the 1990s, a man with a grudge against the department filed a public records request. He was provided information — now commonly redacted from such requests — and posted it on the Internet.
More than a decade later, the information came into the hands of Philip Dosskey, an Everett man with a history of forgery and theft as well as a drug addiction.
Dosskey was charged in federal court in Seattle with stealing the identities of more than a dozen people, including the four Kirkland police officers.
He created fake driver's licenses and used the identification when buying expensive items he quickly could resell.
Dosskey was sentenced to more than four years in prison — the maximum under state guidelines. Caldwell was in the courtroom that day and asked the judge to impose the longest term he could.
"Past behavior is a predictor of future behavior," he said.
In today's world, Caldwell isn't surprised by the prevalence and frequency of identity theft.
"The ease and convenience that people with good credit enjoy gets exploited by criminals," he said.

text: I have a neighbor downstairs who has been itching for a fight since she moved in. I never play music at night, but have played it in the past during the day, and she complained. So I've made sure the volume was way down, and about 2 hours ago she was slamming the ceiling with a broom or something. I went downstairs to her place, and didn't change any settings. I asked her what the problem was, and she told me she could hear it. It was barely audible to hear the bass. Audible? Yes. But you had to be listening for it. Told her she was full of crap, and there is nothing wrong with playing music in the afternoon, then she slammed the door in my face promising to complain to my apartment manager. Just got done writing my apartment manager, but am still so mad. Do people really move to Austin expecting peace and quiet. Wish she would go find a quiet cemetery instead. I've been here about 5 years, and no one ever complained before. As a matter of fact the guy who lived there before would play music at 3 in the morning, and the bass would put me to sleep.If she's not out soon, this is going to end up badly.

Joseph J. Wagner is a fifth-generation winemaker from a family with farming and winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since the 1880's. In his youth, he worked many spring and summer days in the vineyard and cellar of Caymus, learning the basics from pulling leaves, to dragging hoses. Then he began to focus his efforts on what was to become his passion and career in the wine business. He is the owner of Belle Glos and Meiomi wines and has been overseeing vineyard operations and winemaking since 2002. Joseph has a perpetual goal of crafting Pinot Noirs that exude their origins and represent the best of their class in any vintage. Along with his passion for Pinot Noir, he continues his role at Caymus in viticulture and winemaking alongside his father, Chuck. When not at work, he spends time with his wife and 5 children constantly grooming the next generation in farming philosophy and practices, winemaking and the enjoyment of nature's bounty and the outdoors.

About Other California
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

'"It felt good," said Craig. "Had a good feel to it, a good base to it. It was more for me just to get out there and get a feel for the atmosphere itself as much as the ice. There are a couple little zones in my mind that I wanted to make sure were fine, in front of one of the nets – the other night we had the rain and the wind and I put a little something there that I wanted, to make sure we were as solid as I thought we should be, and everything is good right now."'

The recent ruling by the Boy Scouts of America on the continued exclusion of "openly or avowed gay" individuals is detrimental to a progressive society in this country and countermands the teachings in the paths required to attain the highest rank within Boy Scouts, Eagle.
During my tenure as an active Boy Scout, each Troop meeting began with a recital of the Boy Scout Oath:
"On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight."
Premised by "morals," arguments from the BSA cite adherence to the exclusionary nature of their policies in what I firmly believe to be a shallow and fallacious manner. I am of the opinion that the means in reaching this decision is devoid of morals. In addition, it does not support the context of "morally straight" in the Boy Scout Oath.
Morals find definition in the courage that ethics lack; conviction makes apparent these distinctions, true, but they only uphold the rationalization of close-mindedness in the face of clear inequity.
For nearly two decades, I have drawn from and passed down leadership skills and knowledge gained from my wonderful experiences in the Boy Scouts. I often ask of an organization or power that deems itself "just" and "moral" how power, rights, duties, opportunity, etc., are distributed among them. If we view the dilemma of "morals" concerning open or avowed gays within the ranks of the BSA, we must also ponder and account for reasoning, as to how and why excluding a group of society is for the alleged better of the remainder (eschewing hypothetical contingencies). This is especially important when in cases such as this; evidence that homosexuality, as a causal or contagious behavior does not exist. Therefore, the continued motion to exclude potential members within a federally protected class, when within the backing churches are also convicted sex offenders (a crime determined to be contagious), is egregiously hypocritical.
I earned 63 merit badges throughout my journey to Eagle Scout, 11 of which are required to attain the Eagle rank. Of the 11 required merit badges, three are Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, and Citizenship in the World.
Citizenship is defined as, "the quality of an individual's response to membership in a community." The requirement of these badges place an implied importance upon the lessons gained in them, and as Scouts, we are to be active participants, gaining insight to the ever-changing society around us from past struggles within society.
In fact, from the Citizenship in the Community merit badge is a requirement to:
With the approval of your counselor and a parent, watch a movie that shows how the actions of one individual or group of individuals can have a positive effect on a community. Discuss with your counselor what you learned from the movie about what it means to be a valuable and concerned member of the community.
Some suggestions:
- Follow Me, Boys (G)
- It's a Wonderful Life (G)
- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (G)
- Remember the Titans (PG)
- October Sky (PG)
- Mr. Holland's Opus (PG)
- Hoosiers (PG)
- Pay It Forward (PG13)
- Braveheart (R)
- The Patriot (R)
The quote below is contained in one of the suggested films above, and poignantly highlights a struggle with inequity, prejudice, and discrimination similar to the fight against the same with-in and with-out the BSA today.
From the speech delivered by Coach Herman Boone, a character portrayed by Denzel Washington in the film Remember the Titans:
Anybody know what this place is? This is Gettysburg. This is where they fought the Battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fightin' the same fight that we're still fightin' amongst ourselves today.
This green field right here was painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys, smoke and hot lead pourin' right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men:
'I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family.'
You listen. And you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together, right now, on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed -- just like they were. I don't care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe -- I don't know -- maybe we'll learn to play this game like men.
Having walked the battlefields of Gettysburg and Antietam as a Boy Scout, the battles fought and won (or lost) were not only decisive, but also promoted divisive behaviors and beliefs on exhibit today.
Perhaps the greatest and most sobering lesson taken from the Civil War is that a personal conviction, irrespective of ethical justifications, may become counter-intuitive to the inalienable rights granted to citizens so they may live freely.
With regard to the BSA decisions, Scout Law dictates a Scout is Reverent - to God and His teachings. Reverence is not the only law of a Scout, however. Other laws of Scouting include Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Trustworthy, and Brave. With the whole of the Scout Law in mind, I am reminded of the disciples Simon and Judas, who denied and betrayed Christ during His time of need. When I reflect on my path to Eagle and adulthood, when I see the proverbial 'single set of footprints in the sand,' I know that because of the family and friends who gave support in my times of need, I was able to overcome obstacles and hardship before reaching a point of seeking Divine counsel. Were I to live in accordance with the expressed vision of the BSA and the idea of 'reverence' by their leadership, I would have to deny and betray the homosexual friends and family, as would a coward; this is clearly and equally against the Scout Law.
Still, no higher authority exists then what we accept into our hearts paralleled by our intent and evidenced by our actions.
Until the Boy Scouts of America live up to their numerous mantras, I find myself at an impasse. I respectfully divest myself from them and of them, resigning the rank of Eagle to include all privileges and claims to rights therein.
I am an Eagle no longer.
Shawn K. Gordon

Professor chairs National Academies committee on disaster resilience
By Steven Powell, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1923
The National Academies has just issued a report calling for a new national approach to facing natural and human-caused disasters.
"The nation is experiencing more costly disasters; there are more people being affected every year," said Susan Cutter, a professor in the department of geography and director of USC's Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute, who served as chair of the committee that prepared the report. "We know that the population is continuing to grow, and thus more people are living in hazardous places. And the public infrastructure is aging beyond its design limits."
Increasing the nation's resilience to natural and human-caused disasters will require complementary federal policies and locally driven actions that center on a national vision, the report noted. Improving resilience should be seen as a long-term process, but it can be coordinated around measurable short-term goals that will allow communities to better prepare and plan for, withstand, recover from and adapt to adverse events.
The study was a project of the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering and Institute of Medicine, and carried out by the National Research Council. These private, nonprofit institutions – known collectively as the National Academies – provide science, technology, and health policy advice under a congressional charter.
The report was financed by a broad range of federal sponsors, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Department of Energy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Geological Survey, NASA and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory/Community and Regional Resilience Institute. The committee had its first meeting on Sept. 29, 2010, and made visits to New Orleans, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, Iowa, and Southern California.
"Without innovations to improve resilience, the cost of disasters will continue to rise both in absolute dollar amounts and in losses to social, cultural and environmental systems in each community," Cutter said. "Enhancing our resilience to disasters is imperative for the stability, progress, and well-being of the nation."
Improving resilience is not the responsibility of any one federal agency, nor can it be encapsulated in a single policy, the report stated. Rather, functions of government at all levels should be guided by a set of principles and best practices that advance resilience.
The committee found gaps in resilience policies and programs among federal agencies and noted that resilience is diminished by ineffective coordination of roles and responsibilities. The report called for federal agencies to perform self-assessments of their programs and activities and share their analyses of key resilience programs with the public. The executive branch should develop a clear national vision and framework for a comprehensive strategy toward improving disaster resilience, which can be tailored by regions, states, and cities for their specific needs and priorities. The committee identified the lack of accounting for the total cost of disasters to the nation as a priority as well as the need to measure progress towards becoming resilient. "One approach is the use of a scorecard where communities could compare themselves to other communities across the nation," Cutter said.
"The committee has briefed the House Committee on Homeland Security in Congress," said Cutter. "We also had a briefing with members of the White House national security staff."
Although local conditions vary across the country, the report identified universal steps that all communities can take to improve their disaster resilience. These include building resilience coalitions at the local level by engaging residents in disaster planning and preparedness, helping to educate and communicate information about risks, and adopting and enforcing building codes. These actions are designed to help communities reduce the impacts of disasters and to build safer, more economically vibrant and healthier communities. Long-term investments to improve resilience will need to come from both the public and private sectors, the report noted.
An event slated for October 2012 in Washington, D.C., will launch broader discussion and implementation of the committee's recommendations. Other regional events around the country are planned for 2013 and will include participants from all levels of government, community and nonprofit organizations, the private sector, research community and the public.
"I would be thrilled if South Carolina and its communities took a leading role in developing a long-term comprehensive strategy for becoming more resilient to natural disasters," Cutter said.

When trying to eat more healthfully it is best to stick to whole foods and limit processed foods. But what exactly constitutes a processed food and are they really that much of a big deal?
Whole foods are in their natural state like nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and even fresh meats, poultry and fish. A whole food is not necessarily organic, locally grown or produced in a sustainable way, but it may be. An endless body of scientific literature tells us that for optimal health our diets should consist primarily of whole foods and that a whole foods diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer.
On the other hand, processed foods have been altered from their natural state. So how exactly are processed foods nutritionally different than whole foods?
Processed foods contain manufactured ingredients that are used for a wide range of purposes. Preservatives help increase the shelf life of foods by preventing the growth of bacteria; flavorings enhance the taste of products; coloring agents help improve their appearance; and other chemicals and additives play a role as well in making food products more pleasing to consumers. These chemicals do not make the food more nutritious and are often used because they are cheap. In addition, many people are concerned about the potential ill health effects of these unnatural ingredients.
Salt is a commonly used additive in processed foods with the purpose of extending their shelf life. Eating even a moderate amount of processed foods will likely push your sodium intake above the recommended 2,300 mg per day in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Just one cup of a popular brand of canned chicken noodle soup provides more than one-third of your daily sodium allowance. Other foods that are high in sodium include processed meats, snack foods, soy sauce and salad dressings.
Processed foods have often gone through so many steps in their production that the final product has little or no nutritional value. The heating and cooling processes involved in the manufacturing of foods damages essential nutrients. Processed grains used in white breads have had the B-vitamin and fiber-rich husks removed during the milling process, leaving the bread void of the valuable nutrients inherent in wheat.
A processed foods diet consists mostly of empty calories. People who eat a lot of processed foods often complain that they don't stay satisfied after meals and, in fact, they are often getting too many calories but an inadequate amount of other nutrients. This conundrum leads to weight gain.
While on one hand processed items are often chosen for their taste and convenience, whole foods are more affordable and fresher. While frozen breaded chicken tenders can be tossed into the oven for a quick and easy dinner, fresh chicken is cheaper per pound and does not contain excess salt, fat and preservatives.
If you are interested in eating more whole foods and less processed items, here are some tips for getting started.
Make a plan and grocery shop with a list. Staying organized and planning meals ahead of time will make it easier to stick to a whole foods diet and avoid the processed foods rut.
Eat more fresh foods to displace some of the processed foods in your diet. Fruits, vegetables and nuts can take the place of processed foods and they require little preparation.
Try to make some foods from scratch. While it is time-consuming and unrealistic for most people to make all their food from scratch, commit to making more foods at home. Homemade salad dressing takes little time and effort to whip up in your own kitchen.
Read the food label. Choose foods with fewer ingredients and ones that are easier to pronounce.
Choose whole grains. Look for breads, cereals and pastas that contain the word "whole" in the name. Good grain options should contain at least 3 grams of fiber and ideally more than 5 grams of fiber per serving.
Keep it simple. If you are concerned about the time it will take to prepare homemade meals instead of eating convenience items, use recipes with five ingredients or less.
Shop the perimeter of the store. While the center aisles are often full of packaged, processed items, the outer area of the store is where you can find whole foods like eggs, dairy, fish, meat, produce and grains.
