STEM at Adams State
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
In October 2011, the U.S. Department of Education awarded Adams State a $3.6 million grant from the Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
The five-year grant will fund several initiatives to help more Hispanic and low-income students earn a STEM degree.
Adams State is the central STEM resource in the vast, rural region of southern Colorado and we are pleased to be able to offer these outreach opportunities in STEM to SLV schools.
In addition to these outreach opportunities, ASU hosts a Summer STEM Academy for rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders.
Selected participants will have an opportunity to spend two weeks at ASU where they will not only experience dorm life, but will also interact with ASU STEM faculty who will expose them to science, math, and technology in exciting, hands-on ways at the college level.

Vintage Transformations!
Posted By Emily-Dallas | Sep 11, 2012 | 14 Comments | Category: Antiques and Collectibles, Budget Design, Color, Decorating, Furniture, Material Girls Projects, Paint
As a first time homeowner, the idea of filling your entire home with furniture (and filling it quickly) can be daunting and not to mention, expensive. The case of my home is especially severe because a) I'm extremely impatient and want every room done yesterday (I'm still trying to comprehend the fact that I will live here for 5+ years and there is no deadline) b) I am constantly changing my mind and switching out things so nothing stays in the same place longer than a month's time.
{Zoey on the day we moved in…. thinking- "mom, how are we going to take this entirely pink painted house with gross peeling trim from drab to fab (and fill it with furniture) by next week?!"}
So where does this leave me? Well, in Ben's eyes it definitely doesn't warrant buying all new super nice furniture for every room and honestly, I don't think I could ever have a house of all new things. I love old things just way too much and especially giving pieces a whole new look through refinishing them. Lately, I have been doing a LOT of that. Sometimes I paint the pieces myself and other times if it's just too difficult, I hire someone to do it (ok, I admit, a lot of the time I hire someone else to do it). Remember the part where I said I was impatient? 🙂
Here are some of my recent before and after furniture projects and the info on the paint colors that I used-
Antique secretary-
Antique Secretary-
Paint- Benjamin Moore- 689- Rhine River- Satin Finish
{still needs to be accessorized!}
Vintage Dorothy Draper-esque Nightstands-

Paint- Benjamin Moore White Dove with gold accents
(Need your opinion here dear readers! Do you think the gold is too orangey and should I go back to more of a soft/antique gold or do the outline of the drawers more of a yellow gold like the pulls?) Decisions, decisions!
BEFORE-Funky vintage sideboard with geometric detailing-
AFTER-Funky vintage sideboard with geometric detailing-
Paint- Home Depot- Behr- Custom Color Match
BEFORE-Fiberglass peacock chairs
AFTER-Fiberglass Peacock Chairs
Paint- Home Depot dark charcoal spray paint
{Excuse the flowers falling from the tree and our nice mess in the background :)}
BEFORE-Faux bamboo armoire (can't seem to find the before photo so I borrowed this photo from Bazaar of Serendipity blog)
AFTER-Faux bamboo armoire
Paint- Sherwin Williams- Pure White
BEFORE-Faux bamboo dining chairs and table
AFTER-Faux bamboo dining chairs and table
Paint- Benjamin Moore- White Dove
So basically throughout the house I painted most of my furniture white and gray so they'd stand the test of time and then sprinkled in other pieces with more bold pops of color to add some excitement.
And stay tuned for the "afters" of these "befores"!

And, toasters get all kinds of food the toaster maker never dreamed of. They don't get to control what Kellogg's decides to put into Pop Tarts.
But The toaster maker does enforce the requirement that Kellogg's makes Pop Tarts in the general shape and size of toast. Not in any other form factor.
Sorry, don't really have an ax to grind in this argument, but if you're going to perpetuate a weak analogy, you have to take it all the way.
You're misrepresenting his position. The toaster maker doesn't enforce the general shape or size of toast. That limitation is a physical constraint of the device, like how a phone without GPS or a front facing camera has physical limitations which limit its utility to a degree. On the contrary, limitations pertaining to sideloading are an artificial restriction imposed by the OS vendor. Not a physical constraint of the device.
the_stig_1 wrote:
This is a question of platform choice and the consequences of that choice. Apple is under no obligation to open up their platform to sideloading simply because you have ideological objections to their locked down platform. The presence of Android provides you, the user, an alternative platform that better suits your needs.
No, that's not what this discussion is about. Nobody disputes the existence of alternative platforms with different policies. What's in dispute is whether or not Apple and MS should be legally allowed to restrict sideloading. As such, continuing to say "go use Android!" is a total non sequitur because it does not address the issue in dispute.
the_stig_1 wrote:
You don't get to dictate what Apple does with their platform, save for voting with your wallet.
No, but I do get to talk on a public forum about whether or not their choices are morally sound in the hopes of building a consensus that Apple and MS should be compelled by the courts or legislature to permit sideloading.
the_stig_1 wrote:
the locked down nature of the iOS platform affords users security, ease-of-use and stability while still allowing them to use the device for the job they wanted to accomplish.
Except when the job the user wants to accomplish is not permitted by Apple and MS, such as run a banned app.
adminfoo wrote:
And because it is simple ideology, everyone debating it can simply wave off the arguments and opinions held by others. Argument-by-analogy will fail too, because folks with differing views will simply claim that analogies demonstrating different ideologies are incomplete or inappropriate or whatever.
Analogies are not subjective. They have to be representative to be valid. It's okay for you to disagree with me that sideloading is morally wrong, as that is subjective. But it is not valid for you to say that our disagreement over sideloading permits either side of the debate to make bad analogies.

So... I want to play my Xbox version of Halo on a Galaxy S2. Why are Samsung and Google curtailing my freedom?
Nobody here is asking for that. MS has the freedom to port Halo to the Galaxy S2. Google and Samsung do not restrict that. Likewise, we want Apple and MS to lift restrictions which prevent Mozilla from offering Firefox on iOS and WinRT.

Since such incidents are not a problem with Android, that argument seems moot.
Yeah. That's a great way to handle security, just assume that things won't be a problem in the future.
Ah I see. The old absence of evidence is not evidence of absence thing... Yeah okay. While you're waiting for some mass uprising of malware caused by Android users sideloading apps, I'm going to go on thinking that imposing a walled garden by default is a sensible security measure while imposing a walled garden which cannot be opted out of is an overreach.
Metasyntactic wrote:
Kethinov wrote:
No, the vast majority of consumers don't care either way. There is no expressed preference for walled gardens.
Yes. There is. The market moved heavily toward walled gardens away from non-walled gardens. Users expressed (and continue to express) deep dissatisfaction with all the problems that come from the 'i can load anything' approach.
No, users expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of curation. There was no expressed preference for that curation being mandatory.

And even if they were single purpose devices, like game consoles, that's still no justification to centrally restrict what apps are and are not allowed to run on my hardware.Except for the reasons that are valuable. For example, curation.
Surely someone smart like you can figure out that curation and sideloading are completely compatible.
They're not. To be completely compatible, they would need to cost the same. One costs more.
Metasyntactic wrote:
You say 'easily'. But you handwave away the costs. It's not easy if it means doubling the cost of test of WinRT.
It's completely ridiculous to assert that permitting sideloading is cost prohibitive. Adding a buried setting which permits sideloading and comes with a warning would not double the cost of testing WinRT.

Rabbi Axe: Small acts of kindness and compassion
As we prepare for this holiday season in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, I am reminded of a random encounter I had years ago when I was a young teacher in Boston.
I was on the trolley and found myself deeply moved by the unusual behavior of the driver. As he opened the door at each stop, he would look at the crowd waiting to ascend the steps. He had a smile and a kind word for everyone, and if he saw someone in need of assistance, he got out of his seat and went down the steps to help.
The transformation was palpable as the sea of blank lifeless faces normally seen on public transportation became a community of interactive smiling travelers. I had never seen anything like it. Such small acts of kindness and compassion that made a big difference!
When Hurricane Sandy raged across the Northeast, the devastation was massive. I wondered what any one person could do to bring a sense of normalcy to so many people who had lost everything. The needs were and continue to be so great.
Two ancient Jewish teachings kept resonating in my mind. The first says, "When you save one life, it is as if you saved the entire world." And the second states that "it is not for us to complete the task, but neither are we free to desist from it." Both are a call to action, assuring us that no matter how small, every act of kindness and compassion makes a big difference.
I am moved by all of the outreach to those affected by the storm, from the first responders to the donations of supplies and clothes to the hands-on care for families and seniors to the volunteer building crews.
What could I do to reach out to people I knew who were enduring days in their homes without power, isolated in darkness and cold? What could I do to reach out to people I didn't know whose homes had been completely destroyed by the raging storm?
For those I know, members of my congregation, I asked a family whose power had been restored to open their home for a potluck dinner and casual Shabbat service. We enjoyed an oasis of quiet and peace in an otherwise tumultuous and uncertain time.
And for those I don't know, I spent an afternoon volunteering at an Occupy Sandy Recovery Hub in Brooklyn, N.Y., sorting donated clothes and supplies and helping in the kitchen. The operation was massive, with hundreds of volunteers passing through each day, working at all levels of need. What I did was so small, but combined with other people's small acts of kindness and compassion, we made a big difference.
And now we are preparing for the holidays of the winter solstice. Whether lighting the world with beautiful tree ornaments or brightly colored candles, this is the season of giving when we bring light into our darkened world with acts of kindness and compassion.
We open our closets and pocketbooks to collect warm coats, food, and toys to make a tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate. We stand in line at local blood drives to make sure that the supplies are full during the holidays.
But we learn from the devastation left by Hurricane Sandy that the needs are year-round and ongoing. We learn from the driver on the Boston trolley that smiles and kindnesses make a difference in people's lives every day of the year.
It is my prayer that our response to Hurricane Sandy will inspire us to bring the light of this season into our lives and the lives of others throughout the year. It is my prayer that the smiles and kindnesses of the Boston trolley driver will inspire us to welcome every day as an opportunity for small acts of kindness and compassion. Happy holidays!
Rabbi Vicki L. Axe is the spiritual leader of Congregation Shir Ami in Greenwich. The website is www.congregationshirami.org.

ZED-10FX 10-Channel USB Mixer with Effects
The ZED-10FX is an amazing, compact desktop mixer, ideal for small band mixing. It is ultra portable for carrying to the gig, and can be used for recording live or in the studio. Guitars can be plugged in directly to the mixer using the specially designed high-impedance inputs, while the mixer has two stereo inputs for MP3/CD players or keyboards. It is also equipped with professional XLR main stereo outputs and a flexible monitoring section with headphone and speaker feed outputs. Unlike it's sibling, the ZED-10, the ZED-10FX also boasts a set of fabulous effects to give shimmering reverbs and enhance your sound.
The ZED-10FX is great for live mixing. The layout makes it very simple to use and easy to achieve a great sound. It can be used for recording a live show, and can also be used for an audio project at home that you can build up track by track using the USB digital audio interface.
The flexibility, quality, and price-point of this mixer makes it stand out from the crowd. You can plug your guitars or instruments straight into the class A discrete FET high impedance inputs, it can cater up to four microphones, two stereo sources with MP3 player compatibility, and separate 2-track record outputs. It also has a stereo playback input for 2-track replay or perhaps interval music from a CD player, XLR main stereo outputs with inserts, comprehensive monitoring with headphones, and separate monitor speaker outputs, 48V microphone phantom power, DI level switching for sub mixing, and last but not least, the same digital effects algorithms as those used on Allen & Heath's flagship digital consoles costing 150 times as much.
USB audio flexibility
Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way this has been implemented on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your PC to get to the soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED, select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and that's it! CD quality audio to and from your PC or Mac. Switches and connection through jack socket terminals provide different send/return configurations:
Send options:
1) Main Mix Left + Right (Post master Level)
2) Aux + FX bus (Aux is a pre-fade send, FX is a post-fade send)
3) Record Bus Left + Right (Separate stereo bus to Main Mix)
Return Options:
1) To Playback input (through jack socket break contacts)
2) To Stereo 2 channel (through jack socket break contacts)
ZED-10FX features a responsive 3-band, swept mid frequency EQ design which utilizes MusiQ " with optimized slope (or Q factor) for equalizing individual instruments.
ZED-10FX has an essential selection of 16 time-delay effects, designed for small groups who don™t want to carry around an effects unit with their gear but who still want great quality FX at their gigs and on their recordings. A&L's DSP engineers worked hard, crafting and refining beautiful reverb algorithms to enhance every performance. These effects are available nowhere else at this price point " this quality and integration is only available from the ZED-FX. ZED effects are easily controlled using 3 buttons with 9 display LEDs. For example, the ideal delay time can be quickly tapped-in, or the perfect amount of reverb on the lead vocal can be dialled-in. There is one-stop navigation and editing " in fact, it' just as easy as using effects pedals. To alter effects parameters, the TAP button is held down and the up/down buttons pressed to adjust the specific parameter for that effect, for example, the decay length on PLATE, or the depth on CHORUS.
Guitar DI
ZED-10FX' pre-amps are similar in design to A&L's MixWizard range of mixers, but with a twist! Inputs 3 & 4 have a high impedance jack input capable of taking either a normal line level or a low level input from a guitar pickup. These newly designed inputs have been crafted with the aim of replicating the sound of a classic guitar or instrument tube pre-amp in a combo or head amp. An extremely high input impedance ensures loading on pick-ups is minimal and a Class A FET (field effect transistor) circuit powered from 48V is employed to give the valve-like gain stage. There is a gain œBoost switch associated with the guitar inputs which boosts gain by 26dB to cater for instruments with very low level outputs and the overdrive characteristics of the guitar inputs are very similar to a valve (tube) circuit, being asymmetric and soft. All this makes for a wonderfully natural sound to be reproduced from the instrument, full of warmth and character
AmpliTube X-GEAR Software
As if A&L weren™t spoiling guitarists enough with its Class A FET high impedance preamps, the ZED-10FX comes with access to a full version of IK Multimedia' AmpliTube X-GEAR software " the first fully modular, customizable and expandable preamp and FX modelling software system. All the ingredients are there for some truly legendary guitar and bass tones.
Kustom KPC12P Powered PA Speaker and KPC12MP Powered Monitors
The Kustom KPC12P is a 100W powered speaker with a 12" Kustom-built loudspeaker and a piezo HF driver. It is tuned to deliver rich, balanced tonality while accurately reproducing a wide variety of audio content.
The Kustom KPC12P powered speaker provides balanced XLR and TRS 1/4" (balanced/unbalanced) input jacks. These may be used to connect a wide variety of line level devices such as non-powered mixers, preamps, keyboards, drum machines and other audio devices including music players such as iPods and CD players. A volume control adjusts the overall level of the powered PA speaker.
The Kustom PA speaker's TRS 1/4" line out jack may be used to daisy chain 2 or more KPC speakers for a wider dispersion of sound. For example, if a non-powered audio mixer has been connected to the KPC speaker's input, the line out of this first speaker may be connected to a second speaker's input. This is a daisy chain and it often requires shorter cable hookup lengths versus connecting the second speaker directly to the audio mixer.
The Kustom KPC12MP monitor speaker shares the same great components, features, and specs as the KPC12P PA speakers, but has an angled wedge cabinet design. In addition to being used as a powered floor monitor, a built-in polemount socket enables you to elevate the Kustom KPC12MP for use as a powered PA speaker.

EAST GREENBUSH>> A meeting Monday night offered opportunity for dialogue between casino representatives and community members about a proposed casino in East Greenbush.
The casino is one of several potential locations throughout the region. "The Casino at East Greenbush" is a working title for the possible $300 million project off of Thompson Hill Road.
The current plan includes a game floor, hotel, entertainment facility, parking garage, restaurants, fast food, and retail space.
Saratoga Casino and Raceway and its newly announced parter Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby host based in Louisville, held a public meeting Monday evening at Columbia High School for anyone interested to attend.
Representatives from the two companies presented their plans before a standing room only auditorium, and then held a question and answer session, an opportunity for direct conversation between both parties.
The proposed casino is expected to offer 1,700 construction jobs during the two-year building phase and 1,700 permanent jobs with benefits. The two companies also claim it will indirectly create thousands of employment opportunities throughout the region.
If built, it would provide $24.1 million annually for the Capital Region as well as $5.7 million annually for both the Town of East Greenbush and Rensselaer County.
Saratoga Casino and Raceway is depending on its experience in the region to sway the East Greenbush community in its favor. "You know who we are and what we've done," said Rita Cox, senior vice president of marketing.
The major initiative is to "keep New York dollars in New York," Cox said. Currently those gambling dollars are going to nearby states like Massachusetts and Connecticut at their respective destination casino locations.
The Casino at East Greenbush is not designed to be a "neon lights and dancing girls" type facility, said Brian Davis of Saratoga Casino and Raceway. It would be a more low-key, set-back facility, like the one in Saratoga, but with table games.
A general diagram was presented, but no detailed plans were yet revealed. The gaming floor is estimated to be about 100,000 square feet, all on one level. The hotel will have between 250 and 300 rooms.
The public brought up issues of traffic, tax concerns, excessive lighting, sewage, problem gambling, and increased crime.
The panel of representatives from both casinos addressed each with tact. Traffic will be limited, vegetation will be undisturbed, and it seems they will provide money for any other problem they may create.
In regard to taxes, the casino will be a 100 percent private investment that will not take PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) money, and won't ask for exemptions or tax breaks.
For problem gamblers, the Saratoga policy is to implement a voluntary self exclusion program. If patrons admit they shouldn't be at the casino, the staff will make sure it won't happen. "We do not prey on people with problem gambling," said Austin Miller from Churchill Downs.
Some issues may not see compromise if the casino is approved.
One possibly affected group could be the Girl Scouts, who attend sleepaway and day camp at Camp Is-Sho-Da, just nearby the casino's prospective home. The CEO of the Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York Mary Buszuwski came to speak out against the casino coming to the East Greenbush site. "It really puts at risk, frankly, our ability to continue," she said, mentioning the issue of traffic, noise and safety for the girls. Buszuwski was upset that the company did not contact the Girl Scouts to discuss becoming neighbors. Her speech was met with a loud applause.
Another speaker, Rob Smith, a Wynantskill resident, said he's read studies, and believes a casino will inevitably bring increased crime to the area. "I'm genuinely concerned about that," he said. "I'd hate to see it happen in this community. I hope it goes somewhere else."

Moeriaan family
Moeriaan, a former Dutch Mennonite family, found in Alkmaar and particularly in the Zaan district of the province of North Holland. Simon Poulusz Moeriaan (died 1757), an oil miller, was a deacon of the Frisian congregation at Wormerveer. The best-known member of this family was Dirk Symonsz Moeriaan (1654-20 April 1728) of Zaandijk. He was a merchant, owner of an oil mill, shipowner, also owner of whaling vessels, and apparently a wealthy man. Besides all these businesses he still found time to devote to the Mennonite church. In 1679 he became a preacher, and later an elder of the Waterlander congregation of Koog aan de Zaan, serving for nearly 49 years until death, at first in the Waterlander, and after its merging (1690) with the Flemish in the united congregation of Koog-Zaandijk. Dirk Symonsz' influence extended beyond his home congregation into the Waterlander Conference. Being rather conservative, it was due to his influence that his congregation and also a number of other Waterlander churches in North Holland joined the Zonist conference. In 1722 he and Maarten Mol tried to bring about a complete union between the Zonists and the Lamists, but failed to achieve it. Dirk Symonsz was often invited to preach and baptize in other congregations. In 1699 he ordained Jan de Lanoy as an elder of the congregation at Hamburg. He had been trained for the ministry by E. A. van Dooregeest. His colleague Abraham Verduin commemorated his death in a funeral sermon, Heil in de Dood (published at Haarlem, n.d.).

Revenue Hunt
Marketing to gain new customers can be the answer to increasing sales.
Looking for other sources of revenue has never been more important. Many operators are finding that one of the best ways to capture new business is by seeking out new customers. At Kingman Regional Medical Center in Kingman, Ariz., Robin Rush, director of nutrition services, says her team's No. 1 target for new customers is hospital employees who do not currently use the department's services.
"We are attracting new internal customers with constant new specials, demonstration cooking, a retail cake bakery and products that might entice people to check us out," Rush says. "Advertising is done via e-mails and word of mouth. A banana split/sundae/smoothie day brings in staff we may not have attracted previously."
New business ventures: Rush has also found great success in finding new customers since opening the hospital's bakery. The bakery serves not only hospital staff but also takes orders from members of the community.
"Our hospital departments now order all their cakes from our bakery chef and when employees see and taste the cakes, they ask where they were purchased and we get another new customer," Rush says. "By recognizing opportunities and responding to them, we have continued double-digit revenue increases. We've added items not typically seen in hospital cafeterias such as one-pound packages of nuts, decorated cookies and a wonderful fresh fruit bar. Patient family members and visitors come in, see all the choices and end up coming back. We have an increasing number of people from the community coming over for breakfast and/or lunch. We are in the process of developing a take-and-bake pizza service to entice even more people to use us. Saving time and gas is a great motivator to keep purchases in house."
Rush feels the challenging economic climate has made it hard on hospitals, which often have to cut staff when times are tough. However, by increasing revenue she says she has been able to keep current staffing and even add a chef to the bakery.
"Fortunately, we have an excellent administration who really listens and trusts us to accomplish our goals," Rush says. "Victoria [the bakery chef] has more than doubled our monthly revenue, which was averaging $6,500 and is now more than $16,000. The best advice is to target your hospital employees who do not use your services and find out what would get them to your operation. Once you have established an excellent reputation, word travels fast."
Small steps: Innovative promotions can also have a big effect on an already captive audience. At Covance, a Guest Services account in northern Virginia, a promotion called Breakfast Blast was a big hit for the company's 550 employees.
"We had a different menu every day during the promotion," says Dustin Payne, manager of foodservice for Guest Services at the account. "The first day we had a frittata, which nobody here had tried before. The second day was an Italian omelet with sausage and mozzarella cheese. The third day we did pork chops and eggs. It was designed to bring customers to breakfast who don't normally eat with us."
Payne says they also had giveaways to draw interest in the promotion. He adds that being in a place where he sees the same customers every day, it's important to have special days that re-engage customers who might have been away for a while.
"I try to think of myself as a consumer and think, what would I want to see?," Payne says. "Always try to think outside of the box and don't be afraid to get weird with it. If you have a really special menu item, they'll go back to their offices and tell others."
Great services and products are also the best marketing tool for 29,000-student University of Iowa in Iowa City. Greg Black, director of residential dining, says his department's efforts to market meal plans to non-resident students, faculty and staff have been so successful they've had to scale back their marketing efforts this year because the dining facilities are operating at capacity.
"We have two plans that appeal to non-resident students the most," Black says. "We have close to 900 non-residents, faculty and staff currently using meals plans. Usually, we do a direct mailer to students to remind them that even if they're living off campus, they can still enjoy the benefits of dining on campus. We remind them that if they live off campus, they've got to shop, cook and clean up, which are all things they don't want to do. This year, we haven't been very aggressive in marketing because we're finding that our two marketplaces are working pretty much up to capacity, especially during that peak noon hour."
One thing they are doing this year is a small marketing push in partnership with the university's residential life program. The program is trying to get more faculty involvement with the campus' living and learning communities, so Black and his team are trying to help in any way they can.
"We're going to host a luncheon in January to encourage the faculty to interact with students more and use our facilities to do so," Black says. "What we tried to do was stress that we'd like to build a menu around any particular interest that the learning community has. With languages it's really easy; we can do a German or French meal. We do try to use food as an enticement and we want to complement whatever the academic need is."
The economical choice: At the four high schools in the 27,000-student Visalia (Calif.) Unified School District, the students (except freshman) have an open campus for lunch, which provides its own challenges in attracting and retaining new customers. Lynnelle Grumbles, director of child nutrition, says her team tries to offer original items, but the real trick is the fact that school lunch is so much cheaper than eating elsewhere.
"We have a special pizza that we make called Big Daddy's, which is a Schwan's product," Grumbles says. "We bake it fresh and we do some POS marketing for that. We also have Subway sandwiches, so we have a recognizable brand to try and draw them in. Then we just try to be cheaper than anybody else in town. Honestly, I think that's what's boosted my sales this year. High school kids are putting their money in the gas tank and they don't have as much leftover for breakfast and lunch."
Grumbles says meal counts are up, although current numbers were not available. She also credits the department's combo meals and choice of 11 different daily entrées with enticing kids to stay on campus for lunch. The high schools also offer Campus Cruisers, which are little carts located around campus that sell sandwiches and salads, bringing the food to the students.
Fighting the Brown Bag
Director looks for ways to encourage kids to buy lunch at school.
In 13,900-student Turlock (Calif.) Unified School District, Scott Soiseth has been hard at work marketing his rebranded nutrition program, called RealFresh, to his students. Now it's time to sell school lunch to the students' parents, who have so far resisted his efforts. To make the sale, Soiseth is trying to make his menu do some of the marketing work for him.
"We've expanded our menu, of course, but we started gearing the menu toward some of the items that kids bring from home," Soiseth says. "Things like chicken wraps and deli sandwiches, because they stay pretty basic. We also have our grab-and-go bag lunches with the Uncrustable sandwiches or a chicken Caesar wrap with a juice and a piece of fruit. It's a complete meal. We're also offering nutritional salads and right now we're in the process of setting up smoothie bars. Those are not necessarily things the kids bring from home, but smoothies are something they would get after school. So we're trying to capture them at lunchtime instead of the students not eating all day and then going after school and getting a smoothie somewhere."
Soiseth says the smoothie bars are all but finished and should be open before winter break.
"I've built the bar, I'm ordering the blender and we've got a great smoothie pack ready to go," Soiseth says.
"We're going to test it at one high school for now but I want to expand to all the secondary schools eventually. The tricky part is I want it to be a national school meal reimbursable meal but I've got to work to get a protein either in it or with it. So I have to work through some regulations to see if I can make it qualify as a reimbursable meal."
Soiseth says the marketing really started with the branding of the entire department as RealFresh, which now includes all paperwork, posters, and even the wax paper wraps and sandwiches are packaged in. The next step for Soiseth and his team is working with the educational component to breake down the stereotype around school lunch.
"What we're marketing right now is that we can provide students a healthy meal that is cheaper than bringing it from home," Soiseth says. "If you think about it, it's $2.50 and you get a complete meal with two fresh fruits and vegetables. So we're doing a marketing push where we're going to classrooms and telling the kids that it's not expensive to eat a healthy meal of school lunch."
The next step is Soiseth reaching out to the parents and educating them about what he's done with the program.
"We partnered with the PTA to put on workshops for parents that talk about how the department is marketing to the kids, the nutritional values of the meals and just educating them on what we do in school lunch," Soiseth says. "Telling them things like we serve nachos at school, but it's with turkey meat and it's a healthy product but the kids don't know that. The feedback has been really good. Once we're done, the parents are pretty amazed at what we do, how many meals we put out, what their kids eat and what they don't. They want to believe their kids are coming in and grabbing fruits and vegetables. We enlighten them that that's not always the case."
Brand New State of Mind
Creating recognizable identities for a program helped capture customers.
When prices started to rise for 305-bed Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Ill., Director of Food Operations Michael Watz decided the best way to combat rising costs was to make more money, and gaining new customers was a big part of that strategy. Watz talks about his most successful tactic in finding and keeping those vital new customers: branding.
"About six weeks ago, I decided to make a big change with our catering to increase revenue. We always had a catering department but I decided to brand our catering as a separate business so we are able to distance ourselves a little from the hospital. So instead of simply being Carle Catering, we are now Carle's Moveable Feasts. Now, we are not just promoting to our internal customers, but we are actively going out into the community to find business.
For the catering brand launch, we are using simple fliers and have our own business cards. We've also done a mailing and included information on the hospital's internal Web site. Additionally, we do a lot of events with the board of directors and the foundation's governors, so we always use identifiers on the tables so when people say, 'who was the caterer?' There's no way they ever think it's going to be Carle and they'll say 'wow, I didn't know they did that.' It's a huge departure from where we were a year ago. We're also affiliated with the University of Illinois. The medical school is attached to our foundation and we do a lot of business with the university. We're actually going out to market to the individual departments and deans to let them know we have these services available.
Some other ways we've tried to attract new customers is by cleaning up the physical structure of our three retail areas and giving brand identity to each area. Our area that does the most business, about 1,500 customers per day, we renamed the Carle Café. Completed in January, the café has four 46-inch TVs, hardwood floors, new furniture, new light fixtures; the whole package. Now it really feels like a café. With the menu, we've gotten away from the former type of food that was served, which was very heavy with a lot of fried foods. Now we do a lot of healthy salads, sandwiches and wraps. We have a lot of folks in the community that actually just come and visit us to eat because it's such a great environment.
We also rebranded our Starbucks area as The Breezeway and have made it much more than just Starbucks. It now carries sandwiches and salads, and I've recently introduced a whole line from a local bakery. The bakery items really look homemade, which is what I had been looking for the past year. It looks like they were made in Grandma's kitchen. They really do help increase the price point in that location. That area's rebranding has been ongoing since I came here a little more than a year ago.
We also branded our third area as The Coffee Shop. We did a small facelift in there with things like new lighting fixtures, new wall coverings, warmer colors—just less of a stainless steel look. The Coffee Shop is close to one of our public entrances, so we set up show plates outside the door. So when people walk by they can see the show plates and hopefully that will entice them inside.
We really wanted to make each retail area have its own identity and personality. I think each area has its own market. It's important to separate and define who your customer is, and once you do that, you target them with specific product lines and pricing. When I first came here, you went from one area to the next without feeling any difference. Now, you see the different customers for the different areas. For example, The Coffee Shop has an older clientele that feels really comfortable in that space, therefore the products and the pricing were determined with them in mind. Since all these changes were put in place all three areas are up in sales. The Café is up 20%, The Coffee Shop is up 8% and The Breezeway is up 10%."

NARRATION: Last week, our space family aboard the crippled Jupiter II was about to make a landing on an unknown planet far beyond our galaxies. A landing that would allow them time to make desperately needed repairs on their spaceship. To learn more about the strange surface of the planet, Professor Robinson had planned to send their environmental control Robot down to investigate. Unbeknownst to him, however, the nefarious Dr. Zachary Smith had other plans for the mechanical marvel.
TEASER-not recapped; a series of different clips from the CLIFFHANGER are shown to fill us in on what the situation is.
Smith plays chess with the Robot who has an attachment chess claw on. Smith reminds him to obey his voice only. John comes out of his cabin, ready to drop the Robot over the side to explore the planet. Smith tells John he is malfunctioning, "You REMEMBER he ran amok once and very nearly wrecked the ship?" John says, "Yes but he's worked properly EVER since." Robot won't obey John's order to move. Control Room--Maureen suggests they send Smith but he admits to having an acute "bataphobia"--an incurable fear of heights. Jupiter II orbits the planet. Don and Maureen help John suit up into his helmet and pad over chest. Maureen jokes with him, "Make sure you come back to the right airport." Don guides John on the use of the parajets. One burst to slow them down and get him out of the orbit and to the planet. Don will track him by radio and let him know how many bursts to land. He wants to make sure John has enough fuel to leave the planet again if he has to. If it doesn't check out okay to land, John will follow Rendezvous plan A. John tells Will and Penny, "Don't forget to wave." Penny says, "We will, daddy." Will what--will forget to wave? Don on the scanner tracks John. John goes outside into space. This spacewalk music, is not on the CD set. John moves off the Jupiter. Maureen and Judy go to the round porthole and see him pass by.
Nice calm, slow music, often heard again in future episodes and also NOT heard on the CD set, is played. John descends and goes out of orbit, feels gravity pull, and soon is entering the first layer of atmosphere. Zoom out of mike as Smith and Robot listen while they play chess in the galley on the lower deck. Smith speaks about the providence in the fallen sparrow and the Robot quotes it exactly from Shakespeare--1564 to 1616. When Smith misquotes Samuel Butler--1600 to 1680, Robot tells him, "Look before you err you leap or as you sow ye are like to reap." Smith looks at Robot, "Sometimes I wonder about you. If I didn't know better, I'd think some form of morality was programmed into you." John passes a heavy layer of atmosphere. Smith implants in the Robot's obedience cells to periodically check on Smith's safety every hour on the hour. Will comes down via the elevator. Smith calls his dad, "...a true trail blazer on the frontiers of space." He tells Will he has been working on getting the Robot to play chess but Robot can't play too well. Will looks, "Looks like he's doing fine to me." Smith makes a move which sends the Robot into, "Negative! Negative! That move does not compute. It does not compute." Smith makes him release his hand. Don instructs John to fire the parajets to decrease acceleration but the jets are not working--out of fuel. Don claims, "That's impossible!" Will runs upstairs. Don calls for John to use his auxiliary power tank. John yells, "Too fast! Can't! I can't! I can't. I can't." Maureen gasps, "John." Smith tells Robot, "Time to offer my condolences to the widow." He goes up to find Will with his head buried in his face leaning on the astrogater. Maureen hugs Penny. Smith tells Will to take his misfortunes like a man. Will picks his head up, "I'm trying, Colonel Smith." He tells Will, "What are we all but pawns on this galactic game of chess." Smith tells Don, "Are you forgetting the meteor storm the ship passed through and the Robot going berserk." Don insists, "I checked everything out after that." Penny says, "You looked at them, too, Dr. Smith. I saw him." Don asks, "You tampered with the parajets?" Don will get a fix when John gets the parajets going. He tells Judy to take the children below, all to strap in, and secure for a landing. Maureen brings the cooling system up five points. They are in final approach orbit. Smith calls Don an eternal optimist in his hope of finding John alive. He demands they vote on going back to Earth--with the loss of 200 pounds they can return. Don tells him, "I've got a lot of things to discuss with you once we set down." Maureen reports, "450 to touch down." When Smith insists it be put to a vote--both Maureen and Don vote no. Don says, "You're outvoted." Smith sneers, "Not quite. I have a proxy. Come here!" The Robot comes out of the elevator and moves to Don and Maureen at the consoles. Smith makes the Robot (who says affirmative to being able to crush the helmet) crush a helmet. "Much as I detest violence, it can be done just as easily with your head inside," Smith threatens, "Now you will fire all rockets and we shall leave this vale of tears and head back to Earth."
Don fakes there is nothing he can do. Smith tells Maureen he will be among the first to sponsor a rescue mission to this forgotten planet. Don hits the stabilizers off. All shakes. Don gets Smith in a chokehold and forces him to make the Robot go back to its compartment, threatening to kill Smith if he doesn't do it. Smith tries to tell Don something before Don puts him in suspended animation in a freezing tube, "cold storage." Maureen has stabilized the ship but it starts tilting again. FLUB: Don appears to fall to one side before the ship shakes again--Mark Goddard throwing himself to one side on purpose. Maureen and he fire the breaking rockets to slow the Jupiter II down or they will burn entering the atmosphere. The rockets are malfunctioning, "He's done something to the controls!" There is no time to let Smith out. Don urges Maureen to go below and strap in. He will ride the landing out as long as he can, then go into the freezing tube nearest the window (this allows the spectacular stock footage of the crash from the unaired pilots to be used--Don was in his freezing tube by the window). Maureen shakes down below, holds onto the Robot who is back under his stall, and closes the viewports over the lower deck window. Jupiter II exits orbit and plunges to the planet, dangerously close to rocks and mountains. As this happens, the children and Maureen smiles at each other, all snug in their space couches. We hear alarm sounds. The ship, after a wild ride, crashes. Fire is in front of it door and controls spark above and below. Judy goes up and frees Don from his tube. Don says, "They say any landing you can walk away from is a good one." Will and Penny run to the viewport and see hills, mountains, and a tree. They need an environmental estimate from the Robot and only Smith can control it. Will gets an idea. They all go below and Will gets the Robot to go out and make the estimate by impersonating Smith's voice again--Don figuring something in the quality of Will's voice strikes a responsive chord. Before proving it, Will told Penny he could do this and she made light of it, now he looks at her, pleased. All watch through the porthole as Robot clears a path down from the doorway, pushing trees and rocks aside. At the bottom of the Robot's tracks on one side, a small door opens. A small drill like device comes out and digs into the soil. Maureen asks, "Suppose the atmosphere is poisonous?" Don tells her, "Let's not go borrowing trouble." Robot reads his report on the lower deck to all: Radiation in soil--negative, atmospheric pressure 22 pounds per square inch. 35 degrees Fahrenheit, air composition--nitrogen 83% by volume, oxygen--15.5 % by volume, argon, carbon dioxide, methane, zion. Don answers, "It's not exactly a tropical paradise, Penny. Better break out the parkas." Will tells Robot, "Nice work." Robot answers, "That does not compute." Normally, Don tells Maureen, he would recommend a week of thorough testing but they have to assemble the Chariot if they hope to find John alive. It gets them over the rough terrain--a semi transparent land vehicle. Smith is still frozen in his tube.
NOTE: The following scene is the first time members of the family are not in their silver spacesuits but in some other kind of outfit. These outfits, along with John's and Smith's will be described following this synopsis. Also note that while the family here, wears their space fatigues, they are also wearing the jackets which cover them up. The full "clothing line" is not seen until the end of act four. The parkas are seen in color in THE GALAXY GIFT but by then some of them have changed color. Penny's is cream colored here with white rail like shapes on it.
Judy will check the infra red scanner; Maureen monitor the radio; and Don will comb the area in circles. The Chariot pulls off and immediately picks up something. It stops near more trees than it saw previously--trees, rocks, and a canyon wall. Don doesn't want to get Maureen's hopes up but he goes out and finds, behind a bush, a monkey like alien creature which he carries back to the Chariot. He also has his laser rifle (the one from the pilot episode, a darker one and different shaped than the one used later in the season and in season two and three). Not far from this area, John is trapped in a deep pit under a large, strangely twisted wooden branch.
Don has the monkey-like creature on his arm as he returns. Will asks, "For Pete's sake, what's that?" Penny says, "Oh, he's darling, may I have it?" Maureen, upset it was not John on the scanner, says, "No, you may not!" Don tells it, "C'mon fella, beat it." The blooping creature stays near them. Maureen reconsiders, "Penny, you may have it if you wish." Penny says, "Now mom, I don't it really I don't." Maureen says, "It's all right, dear. You may have it. Get it for her, will you, Don." Don gets it, "C'mon charlie. Looks like you found yourself a home." Penny takes the monkey, "I'm gonna call you Debbie." Don calls them into the chariot, "C'mon kids, let's go!" Maureen tries to contact John via radio, unaware he can hear her but cannot reach his radio which is on a ledge. "John, if you can hear me, we've all landed and everyone is safe and we're looking for you now." The radio blows up and the cliff is charged with electrical forces which also charge the tree around John. He tries to block it from him and has his helmet down. Don tells Maureen it is no use and he may have better luck searching with the parajets. He starts up the engine but Judy picks something up on the scanner again--the blip was both of them. Don goes out and finds John, calling to them for a rope. John tells Don, "Something werid's going on down here. The whole face of the cliff--it's charged with some wild electrical force." Will can't make the Robot bring the rope since Robot has to go check on safety. Judy brings it to Don. John climbs up and out, hugs Maureen and Judy who help him out of his helmet. After John hugs them, he jokes, "That was worth the climb." He reached 100 feet above the surface when he finally got the parajets working. Maureen says, "We had a bit of a rough landing too, though." John asks where the good doctor is. Robot lets Smith out and begins his breathing, circulation, moving Smith from side to side. He falls. When he recovers, he asks Robot if the others are dead--hoping they are. They are not on the ship which Smith finds excellent. Robot tells Smith, "I do not negotiate. I do not have free choice." Smith smirks, "It's vastly overrated. And now my metallurgical friend, with you as my personal chauffeur, we shall now say farewell to this colorful island in space and head back to Earth."
Chariot goes over the desert as before. The spaceship is over the next hill. Will tells them the Robot must have gone back there. Don says, "Back to his master, Dr. Smith. When I get back to that spaceship, I'm going to..." Maureen points as Don turns around, "Don!" A giant electrical tumbleweed passes by. John tells them to cover their eyes. The creature passes the chariot side, drains all the power out of it and leaves. Will tells them it will take a half hour to wire past the main generator but John wants them all back in the ship before nightfall. They walk. Smith is kicking the Robot, calling him a tin plated fraud and a worthless electronic scrap heap. Robot tells him it is not a function of an environmental control robot to fly a ship. Smith looks for a laser pistol to melt the Robot down. Robot puts his emergency protective circuits into activation--1000 volts, "Warning," Smith several times over. Smith stops this. He plots to have the Robot liquidate the others with only Major West being spared, at first, since West is useful to tell them how to pilot the ship back to Earth. Robot feeds Smith's order back to him, "Destroy everyone." Smith prefers the word eliminate. Smith thinks about this: "Too bad about young Will though...the only agreeable companion I've found on this ghastly trip." He hoped to have a game of chess with Will. Smith cannot beat the Robot and admits this to him, calling him a glassed friend, "When I play, I like to win." Since West is seen by Smith as a violent and stubborn type Smith must convince him he has had a change of heart. Each liquidation must appear to be accidental which can be explained away as metabolic failure due to unknown composition in the atmosphere. The Robot informs him that the others return. Smith looks out the porthole window, "Robinson alive? Impossible." He then tells the Robot to watch and learn from "Saint Zachary the First." John says, "From the look of things, you're landing wasn't much easier than mine." Don will check out the Chariot in the morning. Maureen takes the girls to prepare dinner (where they go for that is a mystery--they seem to wander out of the scene and DO NOT go into the Control Room). John tells Will it will be real easy for him to get lost in this monotonous terrain even though he wants to try to fix the Chariot. Don and John go inside as Will wanders out of scene.
Don tells John, "Hold it!" John asks, "What do you mean hold it?" Don warns, "He controls the Robot!" Smith tells John he is happy he is alive. Don says, "Now I'll tell one." Smith lies about how he got out of the freezing tube but saw his whole life frozen before him. John says, "That must have been a gory spectacle." Smith tells them he wants to join them since they are "embarked on the greatest of mysteries--the unknown universe." He goes on to make them consider this, "I could have had the Robot kill you just now as you came in." He says he saw the light. At night, everything on the planet can change, thus he offers to send the Robot out to do a full environmental scan and atmospheric report. He wants them to believe in his complete reformation. Don says, "Don't trust him. He's as slippery as a bucket of eels." Smith claims he had a moment of weakness in wanting to get back to Mother Earth. He will send the Robot out, leaving himself defenseless--"the virtuous need no defense." When the Robot leaves, Smith shuts the inner door.
JOHN'S LOG: We have now come to the end of our first day on this alien and perhaps hostile planet. What is ahead we have no way of knowing but we're all still together. There is air to breath, shelter against the cold and food to sustain us. All of us feel somehow akin to those hardy souls who first came to the lonely shores of America so many centuries ago and who found it in their hearts to vie thanks to providence for their blessing.
Don and Judy are on the upper deck, checking out the instruments. Maureen and Penny set up the galley for dinner. All wear more casual outfits as follows:
JOHN: Light blue shirt with red undershirt, white shirt trim and cuffs, black belt, dark blue pants, and black boots.
MAUREEN: Olive green shirt with coral undershirt, olive green pants and boots.
JUDY: Red shirt with dark blue collar and skirt; blue tights and dark blue boots.
DON: Gray shirts, red undershirt, dark blue collar stripe, red cuffs and dark blue cuff stripes, black belt and boots, dark blue pants.
PENNY: Gold-brown shirt, light yellow undershirt, white collar braid, white sleeve braid. No boots.
WILL: Blue shirt, white and red trim, black belt and boots, dark blue pants. Covered by parka.
When John asks where Will is, Penny tells them, "He told me he had an idea on how to fix the Chariot." She told not to leave the ship. Smith is worried, "You don't understand--the Robot's out there." John says, "We know that...now tell us what we don't know." Smith does: "He's just liable to find Will." John wonders, "And...?" "And...I suppose he'll bring him back." Don and John don't like the sound of this.
CLIFFHANGER: Will is in the Chariot as the camera pans across it. He is cold and not having much success at fixing the land vehicle. He guesses he was wrong about it. "I gotta get back to the ship. What?" He sees the Robot coming over a hill. He goes out, "I wanna talk to you about the way you ran off." Robot repeats Smith's orders, "When unessential personnel are found alone, destroy." He blasts a tree and moves closer to Will. Will climbs up the Chariot, "Go back, do you hear me? Go..go back. Go back." He repeats this several times. The Robot fires electric between his claws and then down to warm up.
REVIEW: A jam packed fast moving episode which is the best transition from space to planet. Pilot scenes are cleverly interwoven--and the ship crash is a wonderful special effect. The finding of the Bloop is cute---in the unaired pilot number one, the bloop didn't bloop but used some kind of squeaky, almost rodent like and very low squeal. This was changed to blooping in the unaired pilot number two and for the entire series. John Peel insisted in his FILES books that Debbie was given the sound of a real monkey in the early episodes. What show was he watching? Some purport to have seen a cable in the electrical ball scene. Several nice touches to Smith being worried about Will at the end but he was at his most villainous here, plotting to kill everyone. Also in act one, we see a very brief hint that the Robot is trying to resist Dr. Smith's evil plan and that perhaps there is some morality in the Robot that wasn't there when he was programmed...or at least programmed by human beings from Earth. The Robinson's planet will never be like this again---barren, not even a base camp set up yet, no forcefield, just trackless wastes and wind. It had a truly isolated feel to it, empty and alone, and alien. Perhaps with mysteries yet untold. Quite a far cry from a deserted island.

No child is too young to have a hearing evaluation. Screening should start at birth and continue on a regular basis throughout life.
A child's hearing should be tested immediately if there are any risk factors for hearing loss such as:
- family history of hearing loss
- ear, head, or neck malformations
- head trauma
- history of anoxia or infection at birth
- history of the use of ototoxic medications (when a medication damages
the inner ear)
- recurrent ear infections
- speech and language developmental delays
- changes in hearing (for example: listening to the television at high volume,
talking loudly, or not responding when the child's name is called)
In addition, certified audiologists can also help diagnose and develop treatment plans for children with auditory processing disorders (APD), auditory neuropathy spectrum disorders (ANSD), and balance (vestibular) disorders.

Hey thank you for the review! I'm glad you liked it!
I keep watching it and it never gets boring
I have to say fater watching it soooooo many times it never gets old first are the voice acting to me it felt like everyone was in a studio and saying ur lines, they top notched especially sprout and Phantom next the storyline it's not what i was thinking that it was going to go after seeing the 1st one but hey I'm glad to be wrong and finally the spites and music they all seem to go together well except the part where sprout hold grey (ahhhh spoiler alert) but hey use what you can get but anyway I hope you continue this, but there is one thing I gotta ask thats been nagging me the title music (u know where you choose to play, scene select or extras) I was wondering where is that song from I know I heard it from a video game but I just can't remember what game well anyway time to go and remember "Strength and Honor"
Well thanks so much pal! Yeah the voice actors are by far the best part of the project and don't worry the series is still being made... it just takes time to get it all done. The song is the menu theme from the snes game Star Fox.
awesome movie
couldn't have it any better
thanks tank!
Pretty good
The voice acting it's really good and the different camera angles and shaky camera makes the actions scenes more intense. I also liked how it has an original story instead of going for the usual stuff people have done before. One thing you could improve it's the background music because in some parts it was missed and could've helped the atmosphere in key moments. Good job...I'll be sure to watch the following episodes.
awesome animation!
probably one of the best sprite movies i've seen, i love the sprite animation works u did. not to mention the voice actors were really good delivering their lines.
