Healthy Meals for New Moms
Fast, nutritious frozen and fresh meals for new moms who only have one hand free for quick eating.

One of the many facts of new motherhood almost no one seems to mention is the challenge of feeding yourself. Sure, there are plenty of tips on how much and what you need to make the optimum amount and quality of breast milk, melt away postpartum pounds and maintain the maximum level of energy on almost zero sleep (we're guilty, too), but how in the heck do you get food to mouth when you are always either holding your baby, changing your baby, feeding your baby, pushing a stroller or lugging an infant carrier to and fro? Even eating wearing a front carrier or a sling is overrated unless you don't care about dripping salad dressing on that delicate little scalp (and plenty of times you will indeed be too hungry to care). Well, we've got some ideas for you. Check out these nutritious nibbles you can literally eat with one hand.

New-wave nuggets.
Save the chicken variety for the kids and pick up some frozen veggie nuggets, or spring or egg rolls, for yourself.

Less-mess wraps.
Skip the drippy dressings and use hummus, yogurt or bean dip as a tasty spread instead. Buy mini tortillas, add prepared grilled veggies and goat cheese or chicken (cut into bite- size pieces), and keep them rolled and ready to grab in your fridge. Try also wraps with muenster or mozzarella and tomato.

No spoon needed if you opt for the drinkable smoothies or the type in tubes that you just squeeze (so what if they were invented for preschoolers?).

Snack bars.
Not all granola bars are created equal, however. Look for Bellybars and LUNA Bars, both of which were created with a mom's nutritional needs in mind.

Quick snacks.
Hard-boiled eggs, string cheese, baby carrot sticks and dried fruits pack plenty of protein, calcium and other healthy nutrients when you need sustenance on the run. Dip them into some hummus, yogurt, spreadable cheese, peanut butter or salsa to tickle your tongue even more.

You'll need a treat sometimes to keep you going, so stock the house.

BALTIMORE, May 2 (UPI) -- Most U.S. states fail to address youth exposure to alcohol marketing and it's a missed opportunity to improve public health, researchers say.
David Jernigan, director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, and colleagues reviewed state alcohol advertising laws.
They examined the extent to which states' laws incorporated eight best practices to reduce youth exposure to alcohol advertising and marketing.
The list includes:
-- Prohibiting false or misleading advertising.
-- Prohibiting alcohol advertising that targets minors.
-- Establishing jurisdiction over in-state electronic media (TV and radio).
-- Restricting outdoor alcohol advertising in locations where children are likely to be present.
-- Restricting alcohol advertising on alcohol retail outlet windows and outside areas.
-- Prohibiting alcohol advertising on college campuses.
-- Restricting alcohol sponsorship of civic events.
-- Limit the alcohol industry's ability to provide free goods.
The review authors then assessed each state's use of these strategies and found only 11 states use more than one of the eight and no state uses more than five.
"We know quite a bit about how to reduce youth exposure to alcohol marketing and advertising," Jernigan said in a statement. "Unfortunately, this report shows states have a long way to go towards using that knowledge to reduce youth exposure."
The report is available at: www.camy.org.

Vancouver is a thriving metropolis surrounded by natural beauty. With parks, beaches, gardens, museums, art galleries and the second-largest Chinatown in North America, Vancouver lives up to its promise of offering something for everyone. With modern buildings set against green, rolling hillsides, this city is breathtaking; no location offers a more spectacular view than Stanley Park - with a zoo, aquarium, totem poles and honking geese. A short walk from the park leads to Robson Street, which offers the town's best window-shopping. Stores with European flavor share the avenue with delicatessens and tea rooms ready to serve. As architectural heart of the city, Robson Square features a central plaza with a food fair and an old provincial courthouse, which now houses Vancouver Art Gallery. Be sure to stop at 8 Pender St. - "the narrowest building in the world." Other points of interest include the Museum of Anthropology; Japanese-style Nitobe Memorial Garden; and VanDusen Botanical Garden. Capilano Canyon is site of the world's longest and highest suspension footbridge.

Inside Passage
Imagine being confronted with a myriad of mysterious channels. Following each fjord to the interior, encounter massive mountain ranges, towering cliffs, tumbling waterfalls, virginal forests of two-hundred foot tall spruce, while whales, bears, seals, salmon, eagles and other wildlife. Always they were stopped by an inevitable face of ice - glaciers pushing inexorably downward to meet the sea. What must have been a mapmaker's nightmare is today cherished as the continent's last great untouched wilderness, harbouring the world's largest temperate rain forest. An Eden of the North to captivate the every modern-day explorer. The string of islands of the Inside Passage create a protective barrier to the open sea running from the Washington State/Canadian border and the bottom of Vancouver Island all the way up to the top of Chichagof Island, where the Gulf of Alaska begins its curve westward, offering a supremely serene cruising environment in some of the most dramatic surroundings on earth.
Ketchikan is known as "Alaska's First City" because it's the first major community travelers come to as they travel north. The city is built on steep hillsides and is billed as salmon capital of the world. A quaint village, the town is three miles long and three blocks wide. With fishing boats sailing in and float planes ascending from the water, this seaside town is bustling with activity. With the world's largest collection of totem poles, Totem Bight State Historical Park offers insight into various native cultures of the Pacific Northwest. These wood-carved creations tell colorful, intricate tales – often showing a family history or depicting a local legend. Ketchikan has many options for adventure of relaxation, including mountain bike tours, sea kayaking, seaplane riding, or strolling down the boardwalk of Creek Street, Ketchikan's most famous section with a historic cable car and quaint boutiques. Blessed with an abundance of hiking trails, Ketchikan offers many breathtaking vistas, including the panoramic, 360-degree view from the top of Deer Mountain.

Icy Strait
Visit the waters of the Icy Strait area in the summer and there's a good chance of seeing endangered humpback whales and other mammals gorging themselves on their annual northern feast of plankton. Each year in late spring to early summer, an extraordinary bloom of plant plankton occurs for about two weeks. Animal plankton, starfish, sea urchins, worms and clams feast on the plankton, and many of these species time their reproduction to occur at the height of the plankton concentration. Vast shoals of small fish, including herring and capelin, are drawn to the animal plankton, and salmon, birds, and marine mammals such as sea lions and seals join in the feast, feeding on the profusion of small fish. The terrestrial plant communities of the Icy Strait area are also an important component of the area's biological diversity, and the site is one of the best places in the world to study how plants return to a landscape after glacial retreat.
Juneau is one of America's most beautiful state capitals, with the looming summits of Mt. Juneau and Mt. Roberts providing a gorgeous backdrop. Once part of Alaska's Gold Rush, the city boasts natural and manmade attractions. Downtown is filled with many vibrant buildings, including must-see St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, which houses artwork and artifacts dating back to the 18th century. From the bright mural in Marine Park to the carvings in House of Wickersham, downtown is filled with Alaska's own unique brand of culture and architecture. Often hailed as Juneau's most impressive sight, nearby Mendenhall Glacier is approximately 12 miles long and 1.5 miles wide. See the glacier on a float trip or a "flightseeing" adventure, or hike up one of its trails for a closer inspection. For a bird's-eye view, the Mt. Roberts Tramway offers a short, six-minute trek to the top of Mt. Roberts, 1800 feet above the city. If wildlife is your passion, scenic Admiralty Island has the world's highest concentration of brown bears.

This "Gateway to the Klondike" watched as fortune-seekers headed to Chilkoot and White Pass Trails during Alaska's Gold Rush. Today, feel like a prospector in Skagway, as you walk along its rustic boardwalks and frontier-style storefronts. This cozy town offers a pleasant respite from the hustle and bustle of most cities. With classic cars and one of the oldest narrow-gauge railroads in the world, the city retains the flavor of days gone by and remains an important link to Alaska's history. A stroll down Broadway is a must. Highlights include Arctic Brotherhood Hall. Other buildings like the Trail of '98 Museum, Corrington's Museum of Alaskan History and the Alaskan Wildlife Adventure and Museum present different facets of prospecting times. Before hitting famous Chilkoot Trail, there are other well-marked trails to try. Hiking to Lower Dewey Lake is an easy, 20-minutes, and there are more adventurous trails to remote Sturgill's Landing, Upper Dewey Lake and Devil's Punchbowl. The White Pass Scenic Railway and Eagle Preserve Wildlife Quest provide additional options.

Hubbard Glacier
Seventy-five miles long and covering over 1,350 square miles in area, the Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier in North America. It is also one of the most impressive, a 300-foot wall of ice rising sheer and jagged from the ocean. You may hear the rumble and see the monumental splash as the glacier breaks off in great ice chunks, known as "calves."
Anchorage (Seward)
Seward and its surroundings comprise a land of memorable beauty--saltwater bays, blue glaciers, majestic mountains and alpine valleys. Located on the Kenai Peninsula at the head of Resurrection Bay, the city is one of Alaska's oldest communities, and also one of the most scenic.

The UNDP's Gender Inequality Index is designed to reveal the extent to which national human development achievements are eroded by gender inequality. It is a composite measure reflecting inequality in achievements between women and men in three dimensions: reproductive health (maternal mortality ratio and adolescent fertility rate), empowerment (share of parliamentary seats, and secondary and higher education attainment levels) and the labour market (women's participation in the work force). It varies between zero (when women and men fare equally) and one (when men or women fare poorly compared to the other in all dimensions). 3. The UNDP's Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary composite index that measures a country's average achievements in three basic aspects of human development: health, knowledge, and income. It was created to emphasize that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth alone. 4. Vulnerable employment is a Millenium Development Goal (MDG) 1B indicator; vulnerable employments are lower productivity and informal activities such as own-account workers and unpaid family workers. They are therefore more likely to lack benefi ts associated with decent employment, such as adequate social security and recourse to effective mechanisms for social dialogue. Vulnerable employment is often characterized by inadequate earnings, low productivity and substandard working conditions that undermine fundamental labour rights.

Advice: How should I respond when she flirts with my husband?
Dear Carolyn:
So, I know what NOT to do when another woman openly hits on my husband: call her names, start a public fight, generally look like a jealous fool.
But ... what exactly is the appropriate response when this happens? A woman in my social circle has major boundary issues and is very flirty and physical. Recently she has targeted my husband and done one or two really unbelievable things that other people noticed and pointed out to me.
My husband does his part -- he is good at pulling himself out of awkward situations -- and I trust him, so I don't feel a real need to confront this woman, but I wonder whether I should, on principle.
-- San Francisco
Way-out-there flirting with people who have already been spoken for is sad, attention-seeking behavior; when it works, it brings positive attention from the target and negative attention from the target's partner. Score.
So on principle, you do nothing. No matter how delightful they are for witnesses, skip the hands-off-my-man confrontations.
Your husband's role is to have no interest in her as a guilty pleasure. Yours is to have no interest in her as a threat. Voila, a beast left unfed.
If you feel compelled to intervene, then wait. When she does "really unbelievable things" to someone else's squeeze, you're free to speak discreetly on everyone's behalf, hers especially: "Desperella, what's going on? That was over the line."
Hi, Hax:
Close guy friend was just dumped, five months before the wedding. She says it was because she wanted to travel and work, while he wants to settle down and have kids. All of us friends are calling it a line of crapola.
What should my husband, who was going to be one of the groomsmen, and I say or do? My heart hurts for him.
I don't think I'm the only one who knew they weren't a good match, although I'd NEVER say that (well, not anytime soon, anyway).
-- Dumped
For starters, you can stop referring to a legitimate, breakup-worthy difference as "crapola." Even if it is, and she really just fell out of love or found someone else, saying it's about kids allows your friend both to save face and repel the pitying hordes. Her explanation also neatly avoids vilifying anyone. Why mess with that?
And that brings up something else: no pity, no potshots. Getting dumped is awful, yes, but he isn't helpless and she isn't evil, right? They just didn't work, for reasons only they truly know, and are better for calling off now what lawyers would eventually put asunder.
Enough don'ts. Do listen more than you talk. Do include him by extending invitations with no pressure to accept. Do trust he already knows "they weren't a good match," thus relieving you of the obligation to find just the right time to say everyone knew this long ago. Do let him decide when he's ready to talk, circulate, trust, love -- and save meddling for emergencies (depression, for example) instead of times when you'd just do things differently.
Finally: Do respect the big picture. He's down now and you're the helpers, but that could change faster than a triplet's diaper. People don't want rescuers -- just equals who don't treat them like they grew a second head.

Standing Out, Standing Together: The Social and Political Impact of Gay-Straight Alliances
By Melinda Miceli
From the back cover: "Standing Out, Standing Together documents the emergence of Gay-Straight Alliance clubs throughout the U.S. – exploring both the factors that contributed to their relatively rapid rise and those that stirred controversy and posed roadblocks. Drawing on more than 10 years of interviews with students, teachers, administrators, and political activists, Melinda Miceli exposes both the personal and political sides of this ongoing battle for acceptance and support. In this pioneering study, Miceli shows the evolution of gay and lesbian youth from silent victims to political actors and founders of a new social movement that strives to make schools more accepting places for all students." This book includes interviews with GSA Network's Executive Director, Carolyn Laub.

The Faculty of Education has a rich history and an exciting future. Learn more about the faculty, past, present and future, below.
In 1965, the Faculty of Education at Brock University began operating as the St. Catharines Teachers' College. We have evolved into one of the best most highly respected Faculties of Education in Canada and around the world, with a stellar reputation for our programs, our people, our research, our service, our teaching, and our partnerships, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Historical background
In 1965, through a special arrangement between Brock University and the Ontario Ministry of Education, the Faculty of Education began operating as the St. Catharines Teachers' College. When the St. Catharines Teachers' College became integrated with Brock University in 1971, we became the College of Education, boasting a new building, Welch Hall, adjacent to the Schmon Tower. At that time, in addition to the pre-service program, the College offered practicing teachers Additional Qualification courses. Our first Master's in Education degree was awarded at Spring convocation in 1976. In 1989 the College of Education became known as the Faculty of Education. This was done to better reflect our academic relationship within Brock University.
Over the past 48 years we have grown into one of the most prestigious Faculties of Education in Canada and globally, with a superb record for research, teaching, learning and service. Currently, we have over 17,000 undergraduate alumni, and over 4,000 graduate student alumni.

Now that I have your attention, and you have the proof, let me tell you what all of the "gurus" are claiming these days—and why they're all wrong.
You see, the "gurus" of Internet Marketing want you to believe that you have to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in their products in order to have the knowledge you need to earn a great living online. They want you to think that there's great hidden secrets that only they have, and the only way for you to get a hold of them is to break out your credit card and start spending loads of cash.
The truth is, there is a hidden secret. The secret is that these guys are scamming people, and nobody seems to know it!
Let me ask you a simple question. Think hard about this question, and apply the common-sense, logical answer against everything you've ever been told by the "gurus." The question is…
Which item do you buy without thinking about the expense: a McDonald's lunch for one person or a new computer? Two magazines at the newsrack or a new refrigerator? A few gallons of gas, or a plane ticket?
The answer should be obvious. Most people don't sweat buying something that only costs a few dollars. They just buy it, use it, and throw it away when they're done. No big deal. Hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people buy items like this every day.
Do you know who the #1 wealthiest company was in the USA in 2006? Exxon Mobil. What does Exxon sell? Gasoline. How do they sell it? One gallon at a time.
Do you know who the second wealthiest company was in the USA in 2006? Wal-Mart. What does Wal-Mart sell? Mostly cheap little items.
Well I'm about to show you how I used the theory of selling one inexpensive item MANY, MANY TIMES to earn over $3,000 in just 7 days.

Customer Testimonials
I wasn't planning on putting any testimonials for this report up, since it's so inexpensive and sells itself so well. But these two were just too great to not post here:
I took your idea and made a short (31 page) report with a really short sales letter.
I sent it to a list I had built back in September who never bought jack from me, just for giggles.
Within 30 minutes of sending the email, I got a sale. Then another and another. The exact conversion ratio? 15%
It's 12 hours later, and that old worthless list has been rejuvenated into over 30 people who are reading a report that has proven to help me make more sales.
This is really really really good info, and I have a piece of notebook paper filled with other ways I'm going to use it.
Thanks for sharing!
Jeremy Destes
I call $7 Secrets "the little script that could." It's one of the great bargains in online commerce, giving marketers the power to deliver products automatically, create an affiliate program and build a list of paying customers. This value-packed product has broken down barriers and destroyed the myth that beginners have to have deep pockets to get started online.
Patrick Pretty
P.S. Seriously, for just $7 I'll teach you the method I used to sell hundreds of copies of one of my reports in only 7 days, earning more than $3,000 in that short period of time. I'll even give you the powerful web app I use to make it work. Did I mention that I also added 450 people to my email list in that 7 days using this method? How can you pass on all of that?

Campus Director of The David Project Phillip Brodsky has just been announced as the leader of the "Being an Effective Advocate for Israel" breakout sessions on Saturday, May 3.
Brodsky joined The David Project in June 2010 after graduating from the Hornstein Heller Graduate Program at Brandeis University. As the campus director, Brodsky works with the campus coordinators to reach out to student leaders to help them engage their peers with Israel in new and exciting ways. He believes that every student has the potential to make a difference for Israel and seeks to develop programs that will help students gain the leadership skills to be successful now and in the future.
Before earning his MBA and Master's in Jewish Professional Leadership at Brandeis, Brodsky was the director of Jewish programming for Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity. With AEPi, Brodsky taught student leaders how to organize successful philanthropic programs, bring Jewish enrichment programming into their chapters and talk about Israel within the fraternity and sorority community. His pro-Israel work while with AEPi was recognized by the Israel on Campus Coalition, AIPAC and the North American Interfraternity Conference. Brodsky grew up in North Carolina and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He lives in Brookline, Mass., with his wife, Kali.
Rabbi Yaffe has lectured and led seminars and is continuing legal education programs throughout North America, as well as in Africa, Australia, Latin America and Europe. He has authored articles for various forums and the Jewish Learning Institute's "Living with Integrity" course.
Rabbi Yaffe has been scholar-in-residence to Chabad at Harvard, where he served the greater Harvard and MIT communities.
Rabbi Yaffe was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., and raised in Portland, Maine, and Los Angeles, Calif. He studied at Yeshivot (rabbinic colleges) in Miami, London, and New York, and received rabbinic ordination from Yeshivat Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch, in Brooklyn in 1989.
He was a fellow of the post-ordination program at the Leeds Kollel in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England from 1990-1992.

Larkspur-based Hospice by the Bay is offering a free app for physicians to download onto mobile devices that is designed to save time and provide information for both doctors and patients.
Doctors will now be able to refer patients for care without having to fax a written order, as well as more efficiently admit and communicate with patients. The app also provides physicians with criteria for eligibility of care, a drug formulary that reviews how to treat certain symptoms, and guidelines for end-of-life care by type of diagnosis.
Patients can download the app to learn about referrals, admittance eligibility and patient-doctor relationships.
"We're putting tools into the hands of people who need to use them in learning about end-of-life care," said David Zwicky, the agency's director of business strategy, who helped design the app.
Kris Montgomery, a spokeswoman for Hospice by the Bay, said Zwicky and others learned of a similar app being used elsewhere and developed an improved version for Hospice by the Bay.
"We wanted something that doctors feel comfortable with, so we can help the family even more with a difficult emotional transition," Montgomery said. "We can get involved even sooner, which gives them peace of mind."
Montgomery said that although the app doesn't need to replace traditional forms of communication between doctors and patients, the digital advancement is helpful.
"So many doctors are using tablets and phones, and it makes sense to ease the process this way," she said.
The app, which Hospice by the Bay began developing about four months ago, was released in June and is available via iTunes.
"There's been nice feedback," Zwicky said. "It's too early to tell how they're going to use the app, but people are downloading it."

Founded by close friends Don Clark and brothers Ron and Bill Fenech (each having over 25 years of experience in the RV industry). Although they have lead some of the most successful companies in the RV industry, and are proud of their accomplishments at Keystone RV, they recognized that it was becoming more difficult to stay in touch with the needs of customers, employees, and the products being built.
So, in 2011 they began pursuing their dream of reconnecting on a more personal level with customers and dealers. The result of that pursuit is Grand Design RV. A company designed to create recreational vehicles that provide more features, better designs and unparalleled customer support!

Accident Prevention: Slips, Trips and Falls
Slips, trips and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents.
Second only to motor vehicle accidents, slips, trips and falls are the most frequent accidents leading to personal injury. Slips, trips and falls can result in head injuries, back injuries, broken bones, cuts and lacerations, sprained joints or strained muscles. The Bureau of State Risk Management has identified "slips, trips and falls" as one of the top five causes of workers' compensation claims over the last six years.
A "slip" occurs when there is too little traction or friction between the shoe and walking surface.
A "trip" occurs when a person's foot contacts an object in their way or drops to a lower level unexpectedly, causing them to be thrown off-balance. A trip most often results in a person falling forward, while a slip most often results in the person falling backward.
A "fall" occurs when you are too far off-balance.
There are many situations that may cause slips, trips, and falls, such as ice, wet spots, grease, polished floors, loose flooring or carpeting, uneven walking surfaces, clutter, electrical cords, and open desk drawers and filing cabinets. Loose, irregular surfaces such as gravel, shifting floor tiles, and uneven sidewalks can make it difficult to maintain your footing. Most slip, trip and fall incidents are preventable with general precautions and safety measures.
Injuries from falls may be caused by a variety of sources. Many of these sources, like curbs, flaws in parking lots and uneven lawns, are not of significant height, but have the potential to cause significant injuries. The best way to prevent injuries such as these is to be aware of where you are going and pay attention to your walking surface.
Report even a minor fall. It could prevent someone from experiencing a more serious injury down the line.
Some of the Factors Contributing to Slips, Trips and Falls Include:
Wet or Slippery Surfaces
Wet or slippery surfaces are a major cause of slips. Highly polished floors such as marble, terrazzo, or ceramic tile can be extremely slippery even when dry and definitely increase the potential for a slip when moisture (spills, rain, snow and mud) is present. Food preparation areas and residential dorm bathrooms and kitchens are also high risk slippery surfaces.
The following are some simple ways to reduce the likelihood of a slip and/or fall on wet or slippery floors:
- Use anti-skid adhesive tape in high traffic areas
- Use absorbent mats in entrance ways during inclement weather. (Caution: Unanchored mats may cause slip hazards themselves. Make sure that mats lie flat and that the backing material will not slide on the floor.)
- Display wet floor signs when appropriate. Note that signs are a great awareness tool but should not be the only means of control. Clean up spills and wet floors as soon as practical.
- Have a procedure to deal with spills and ensure spills are reported and cleaned up immediately.
- Use proper mats in areas that tend to be "spill prone" (bathing facilities, food preparation areas)
- When wet processes are used, maintain proper drainage or use platform mats
If you must walk on a slippery surface:
- Wear proper footwear for better traction on slippery surfaces
- Point your feet slightly outward, keeping your center of balance under you
- Take slow, small steps
- Use your feet as probes to detect possible slip, trip and fall hazards
- Get your feet underneath your body quickly to maintain your balance after an initial step
- Use rails or other stable objects that you can hold onto
- Protect the more vulnerable parts of your body like your head, neck and spine if you do fall
- When moving from carpet to tile or dry tile to wet tile, etc. the friction (grip) between the sole of the shoe and the floor surface lessens. Alter your stride to take shorter, slower steps.
Environmental Conditions
No matter how well the snow and ice are removed from campus sidewalks, parking lots and the surrounding streets, people will invariably encounter some slippery surfaces when walking outdoors in the winter. Many cold-weather injuries are the result of falls on ice-covered streets and sidewalks. Walking on snow or ice is especially treacherous.
Getting around on campus in icy conditions calls for planning, caution, and a little common sense:
- Dress warmly and wear boots with non-skid soles (avoid plastic and leather soles).
- Keep warm, but make sure you can hear what's going on around you. Wear a bright scarf or hat or reflective gear so drivers can see you, and whatever you wear, make sure it doesn't block your vision or make it hard for you to hear traffic.
- A heavy backpack or other load can challenge your sense of balance. Try not to carry too much—you need to leave your hands and arms free to better balance yourself.
- During the daytime, wear sunglasses to help you see better and avoid hazards. At night, wear bright clothing or reflective gear. Dark clothing will make it difficult for motorists to see you--especially if they aren't expecting you.
- When entering a building, remove as much snow and water from your boots as possible. Take notice that floors and stairs may be wet and slippery. Walk carefully.
- Be prepared to fall and try to avoid using your arms to break your fall. If you fall backward, make a conscious effort to tuck your chin so your head doesn't strike the ground with full force.
- Use special care when entering and exiting vehicles--use the vehicle for support.
- Streets and sidewalks that have been cleared of snow and ice should still be approached with caution. Look out for "black ice." Dew, fog or water vapor can freeze on cold surfaces and form an extra-thin, nearly invisible layer of ice that can look like a wet spot on the pavement. It often shows up early in the morning or in areas that are shaded from the sun.
Insufficient or Inadequate Lighting
Insufficient light can make it difficult to see obstacles and notice changes in the walking surface and is associated with an increase in accidents.
Move slowly where light is dim and pay increased attention to your path of travel. Moving too fast increases the likelihood you will misjudge a step or encounter a hazard before you have a chance to notice it. Moving from light to dark areas, or vice versa, can cause temporary vision problems that might be just enough to cause a person to slip on an oil spill or trip over a misplaced object.
Changes in Elevation
Changes in elevation are a major source of trip accidents. Even a change in walking surface of ¼ – ½" will be sufficient to cause a trip. Curbs, cracks in the sidewalk, ramps and single steps are all examples of these hazards.
Another type of working and walking surface fall is the "step and fall." This occurs when the front foot lands on a surface lower than expected, such as when unexpectedly stepping off a curb in the dark. A second type of step and fall occurs when one steps forward or down, and either the inside or outside of the foot lands on an object higher than the other side. The ankle turns, and one tends to fall forward and sideways.
Changes in elevation may be unavoidable, but there are some simple ways to reduce accidents caused by these hazards:
- Watch for bumps, potholes, sidewalk cracks or changes in elevation
- If you identify a problem area on campus, report it to the Department of Facility Services
- Climbing or Descending Stairways
- Nearly half of all falls occur on stairs. Keeping stairs in good repair is essential to preventing accidents. Make sure that stairways have secure handrails and guardrails, even surfaces, even tread heights and are free of deteriorating coverings such as frayed carpet.
- To prevent an accident, awareness and prevention is key. Here are some simple ways to prevent a fall incident on stairways:
- Whether going up or down stairs, always use the handrail
- Make sure stairways are well lit, with on/off switches at the top and bottom
- Make sure stairways are clear of any obstacles
- If you are wearing footwear such as high heels or sandals, use extra caution while going up and down
- If throw rugs are positioned at the top or bottom of stairways, make sure they are secured with a skid-resistant backing
- Routinely check stairs for loose or worn carpeting
- Report outdoor stairways if you notice ice, snow or water accumulation
- When carrying objects up and down steps, be sure you are able to see where you are stepping and hold onto the handrail if possible
- The chance of fall accidents in stairways increases with inattention, illness, fatigue and haste. Take care when ascending and descending stairways.
Housekeeping Issues in Working and Walking Areas
Proper housekeeping in work and walking areas can contribute to safety and the prevention of falls. Not only is it important to maintain a safe working environment and walking surface, these areas must also be kept free of obstacles which can cause slips and trips. Obstacles could include clutter, obstructions across hallways and material stacked or dumped in passageways, etc.
- Avoid stringing cords or lines across hallways or in any walkway. If it is necessary to do so, it should be on a temporary basis (i.e., power cords, telephone lines, etc.) and, then the item should be taped down, run overhead or a ramp should run over any cords and hoses.
- Regular frequent inspections of working and walking areas should be conducted to identify environmental and equipment hazards which could cause slips, trips and falls.

Included at the suggestion of President Ralph Hetzel (1926-47) to show the Morrill Act's "liberal" component, this scene shows liberal arts students at a seminar being taught by Evan Pugh, first president of the University. Behind them, three students in uniform reflect the Act's provision for military training. At the upper right is a forge, at which students work to make early machinery parts. The background, extending to the long mountain ridges in the distance, depicts the mining and industrial regions of Pennsylvania.

Cross-breeding humans can be an excellent idea. Why force a child to play an instrument when we could create one already inclined to do that, right? In fact, why not improve the mediocrity that nature has come up with (another argument against intelligent design right here)! Scientists can already see that, in principle, superhuman geniuses can be created. Imagine knowing enough about genetic engineering to the point of conceiving a person who excels at everything...
Hitler might have been right in suggesting selective breeding for humans but he was wrong and twisted about the eugenics involved. First of all, even his so called Aryan race was not pure. There is no such thing as a pure race even if appearances can be misleading. Also, a pure race does not necessarily equate with superiority. In fact, history has taught us that sometimes the opposite is quite true, eg. the Tasmanians who were quite pure but were primitive and drove themselves to extinction contrasted with the Ancient Greeks who were mixed but quite advanced and exerting hegemony.
Hitler was simply and despicably wrong. What's more, he used The Protocols of the Elders of Zion canard counterfeited by the Russian Orthodox Church in order to turn Germans against Jewry. In Mein Kampf he highlights the reasons for the pogrom of Jews, claiming that the Lord wants it to happen. His reasons for persecuting Jews were more political and religious than scientific. And contrary to popular belief, he was not an atheist. He believed he was sent by Providence (sometimes referring to this higher power as "God").

I am sorry you were the victim of a sexual predator. That shouldn't have happened. But just know that you can always move on and lead a happy life. He is not worth your time and effort. I would also urge you to consider that not all sexual people are of the same calibre.

Council gives support to Downtown Restaurant Project
Members of city council approved sending a letter to the Elk County Commissioners in support of the Downtown Restaurant Project during their meeting on Monday evening. City manager Dave Greene explained that Matt Quesenberry, of the Elk County Planning Department, recently indicated that a developer has been in contact with him regarding bringing a restaurant to downtown St. Marys. "There was $3 million available of recovery bonds that was planned for the St. Marys Hospitality and they notified the county and us that they have a hundred percent of the funding in place for that [without needing] the recovery zone bonds," Greene said. Greene indicated that St. Marys Hospitality turned the $3 million back over to the county and the hope is that it can now be used for the restaurant project.

The Frozen Ones
The morally deserted world of spare embryos.
I remember the day my first child was born. He lay sleeping, swaddled, in a plastic bin at the hospital. That's when I finally understood what it meant to be a parent. "If we leave this hospital without this baby," I told my wife, "we'll be arrested."
It was a joke, but it was also true. You arrive at the hospital as two people, and you leave as three. You can't just make a baby and walk away. It's yours forever.
Unless, that is, you make a baby through in vitro fertilization. In that case, you can put the embryo away in a freezer and decide what to do about it later. Or never.
In the United States alone, approximately 500,000 embryos now lie suspended in this frozen world. Thousands more accumulate every year. They go there because we make more embryos than are necessary for one child, and we set some aside in case we need them for a second child. They're our backup kids. In our heads, they aren't real yet. But in the freezer, they are.
President Bush, God bless him, wants to find homes for them. He wants the parents who made them to let others gestate, deliver, and raise them. It's a beautiful thought. But a survey published last week in Fertility and Sterility says it's not going to happen. The survey sampled more than 1,000 people who had embryos on ice. Only 7 percent said they were very likely to give their embryos to other parents. Twice as many were willing to consider donating embryos for research as for reproduction.
Why? Because we don't want other people raising our kids. In the survey, the authors found that "concern about or responsibility for the health or welfare of the embryo or the child it could become … was negatively associated with reproductive donation and positively associated with options not resulting in a child." For these people, the "sense of responsibility precludes their allowing their embryos to become children in any family except their own."
To pro-lifers, this preference for destruction is baffling. We're talking about an embryo in a freezer. Nobody's asking you, the genetic mother, to put it in your own body. We'll do all the work. Just let us have it. We'll give it life, love, and a good home.
But the mindset of possessive responsibility says: No. This embryo is mine. I can't let it grow into a child if I'm not there. I'd rather extinguish it. This is a cruel instinct, but it's pervasive. It's why Bush's father couldn't persuade women to choose adoption over abortion and why Bush can't persuade them to choose adoption even when no pregnancy on their part is required.
Imploring these people to embrace a baby-making "culture of life" is noble, but it isn't realistic. Nor is putting ads in church newsletters for 500,000 adoptive wombs. The realistic answer is to stop making and freezing so many extra embryos in the first place. That, too, requires moral strength. If you can't stand to become a parent to a batch of frozen embryos, why are you creating them? Sort out your ethics before you cross that line.
This, according to the survey, is exactly what's not being done. The authors find that "fertility patients are likely to face an unanticipated conundrum when they have completed treatment: a choice among unappealing disposition options." Unanticipated? Come on. IVF isn't a night of passion. It's an elaborate plan. How can you go into it without thinking through the eventualities?
The answer, the authors explain, is that "when embryos are initially cryopreserved, patients are focused on having a child and may not be prepared to consider fully their views about embryo destruction or donation." Furthermore, they report, "Our review of consent documents indicates that patients are often not asked their preference regarding disposition of excess embryos at the time of freezing. … Discussion of disposition options is not mandated by professional guidelines."
In other words, nobody focuses on the extra embryos. The patients and doctors are preoccupied with making a baby. If you get one, congratulations. Anything extra is an afterthought. We treat the leftovers as raw material, available to be used or thrown away. But they aren't raw material. Eggs and sperm are raw material. Embryos are what we make with that material. They're us.
So the leftovers sit in freezers, like souls in limbo. In this survey, nearly half the people with embryos on ice said they didn't want to have more kids. Yet among this group, the authors report that 40 percent "have yet to select a preferred disposition option, and nearly a fifth indicate they are likely to freeze their embryos indefinitely."
Compared with this, the abortion debate is almost quaint. There, the pro-choice slogan is: Who decides? And the scripted answer is: The woman does. But in the world of IVF, the answer, too often, is that nobody does.
What does it mean to be pro-choice in a world without time or fetal development? A world so frozen that no choice is required? Is it possible to respect each couple's choice but to demand that they choose one way or the other? Does the ethic of free choice require at least that much?
I'm a pro-choice moralist. I don't want the government telling people what to do with their pregnancies or their spare embryos. But that freedom doesn't eliminate moral obligation; it intensifies it. Each of us has to decide how to respect life in all its complexity. To me, embryos aren't people, but they're the beginnings of people. They aren't to be created, killed, or frozen lightly.
That means, among other things, that they should never be an afterthought. Don't have sex, at least not the procreative kind, without discussing what you'll do in the event of pregnancy. Don't make or freeze embryos without thinking through what you'll do with them. And if, after talking it over, you can't stomach the options ahead, maybe you should reconsider whether you're ready for this. That's a lot to ask, I know. But nobody said choosing would be easy.

WARNING: Description is Wrong
Overall this isnt too bad, but I was a little disappointed because the description is completely wrong.
Only one of the stories listed is actually here. It does include The Ripper by William F. Nolan...But it does NOT contain these stories: Jack Williamson's Ghost Town, Darrell Schweitzer's The Most Beautiful Dead Woman in the World, Clark Ashton Smith's The Face by the River, Jack Ketchum's Returns, Fred Chappell's The Invading Spirit and E. Hoffmann Price's excellent Satan's Daughter (which is why I actually bought this in the first place).
Instead you get these:
The Ripper
Sympathy for Dragons by John Gregory Betancourt
Shore of Night Shore of Day by Katren Rutten
Hearts and Minds by Barbara Krasnoff
The Sacerdotal Owl By Michael Bishop
The Ghost of Me by Melinda Thiebler
Some of these are interesting and very weird. Wayne June's narration is always excellent. I especially liked Shore of Night, Shore Of Day which is more of a Dark Fantasy tale as opposed straight Horror, but it was very well done. It even has music and sound effects, which really brought the story to life.
Although I wish it had the other stories listed, still not bad and worth the money.

Not so Weird
There are seven stories total. The first story by Nolan is over an hour long. It is okay and has a cool twist at the end, but just too long by today's standards. My favorite was the second story written by John Gregory Betancourt, but it is very short. The stories were probably good in their time, but today's stories get to the point faster and are weirder.
I am a big fan of classic science fiction, but weird is suppose to surprise you and the good old weird has been redone over and over and improved. Monkey's Paw would be a good example of that. No doubt, that was scary weird when first written in the early 1900's, but the story has been rewritten, with different spins put on it so, many times that the original no longer seems weird and you know what is going to happen before it does. The Willows by Blackman is a weird story that stands the test of time because of the beautiful way it is written and how Blackman puts you the reader into the Willows. I did not find any of these stories to be that well written.

A fun visit to the pulp magazines of the 50's
If you could sum up Weird Tales in three words, what would they be?
Classic escapist fiction
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
An entertaining collection of tales from the magazine that started so many of the masters.
