The California Immigrant Worker Protection Act also known as IWPA became effective on January 1, 2018.
IWPA imposes the following restrictions on California employers:
They are prohibited from giving federal immigration agents access to non-public areas of the workplace or employee records without a judicial warrant or subpoena;They are required to give employees and union representatives (if any) notification before and after I-9 inspections; andThey cannot reverify the immigration eligibility of employees to continue working unless mandated by federal law.
Access to Non-Public Areas of the Workplace or to Employee Records
In order for a federal immigration agent to be able to access non-public areas of the employers workplace, the agent must present an warrant issued by a judge. An administrative warrant signed by an Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officer does not suffice. The IWPA law provides that an employer can not voluntarily permit a federal immigration agent to enter these areas without a warrant.
IWPA also prohibits employers from sharing employee records with a federal immigration agent unless they first present a subpoena or a judicial warrant.
However, the requirement that the agent present a subpoena or a judicial warrant is waived where the agent serves the employer with a Notice of Inspection (NOI) to review the employers I-9 forms and attached documents.
Required Notifications Before and After I-9 Inspections
Upon receiving a Notice of Inspection, an employer is required by IWPA to post a notice informing its employees (and their union representative, if any) of the NOI within 72 hours. The notice must be in the language or languages normally used to communicate employment-related matters. The posting notice must contain the following information:
The name of the federal immigration agency conducting the inspection;The date that the NOI was received by the employer;The nature of the inspection to the extent known; andA copy of the NOI.
The California Labor Commissioner is obligated to issue a standard posting notice by July 1, 2018. Until then, employers and their attorneys should create their own posting notices.
Within 72 hours after receiving the results of the I-9 inspection, the employer must provide each affected employee (and their union representative, if any) with a copy of the written results and the obligations of the employer and the employee arising from the results of the inspection. An affected employee is one who lacks proper work authorization documents or whose documents have been found by the federal immigration agency to be deficient. This notice must be hand-delivered, or if this is not possible, delivered by mail.
This notice must contain the follow information:
A description of any and all deficiencies or other items identified in the written immigration inspection results notice related to the affected employee;The time period for correcting any potential deficiencies identified by the immigration agency;The time and date of any meeting with the employer to correct any identified deficiencies; andNotice that the employee has the right to representation during any meeting scheduled with the employer.
Reverifying Employment Eligibility
IWPA prohibits employers from reverifying the employment eligibility of current employees at a time or manner not required by federal law. Employers are required to conduct reverification before an employees existing work authorization expires.
This provision creates problems for employers who wish to conduct internal I-9 audits to rectify any deficiencies in their I-9s.
Penalties for IWPA Violations
IWPA violations can result in civil fines of up to $10,000.
A violation of the reverification provision can lead to a penalty of up to $10,000.
Failure to satisfy any of the other provisions can result in penalties ranging from $2,000 up to $5,000 for a 1st violation, and from $5,000 to $10,000 for any subsequent violations.
IWPA Advice for Employers
IWPA can prevent some California employers from becoming compliant with federal immigration laws.
For the past 30+ years, we have advised employers to perform internal audits of their I-9 forms in order to comply with Federal immigration laws and to avoid huge fines for I-9 violations. However, IWPA penalizes California employers who audit and fix deficiencies in their I-9 forms. Now, many employers would well advised to sign up for the E-Verify program allow this will not cure any past mistakes in completing I-9 forms.
Employers need to properly train their human resource staffs what to do in case of a visit by federal immigration agents. If an HR employee is unable to distinguish between an ICE agent and a person working for the FDNS or between an administrative and a judicial warrant, this could have disastrous consequences.
In addition, HR staff should be trained in how and when to post notices when a Notice of Inspection is received and how to notify affected employees (and union representatives, if any) of the results of a federal I-9 audit. They should also be aware of when I-9 forms can be reverified and when it is a violation of IWPA to do so.

On March 6, 2018, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in Federal Court challenging 3 California immigration laws.
The lawsuit contends that the laws reflect a deliberate effort by California to obstruct the United States enforcement of federal immigration law and that they impede consultation and communication between federal and state law enforcement officials.
California Governor Jerry Brown responded calling the lawsuit a political stunt.
The California immigration laws which are being challenged are as follows:
The California Immigrant Worker Protection Act (AB 450) became effective on January 1, 2018. It prohibits businesses from allowing federal immigration agents to gain access to employee records without a court order or subpoena. However, if federal agents have a Notice of Inspection, they can gain access to I-9 forms within 72 hours. California employers are required to provide notice to employees about any Notice of Inspection as well as the results of I-9 audits by the Federal government. Employers can be fined up to $10,000 for violating this law.
The California Values Act (SB 54) which also went into effect on January 1, 2018 limits state and local agencies from sharing information with federal officers about criminals or suspects unless they have been convicted of serious crimes.
The Detention Review Act (AB 103) which was enacted as part of the California state budget prohibits new contracts for immigration detention in California and gives the state attorney general the authority to monitor all state immigration detention centers.

USCIS published the 7th edition of a two-page Employment Eligibility (I-9) form. The passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 made the form mandatory for all new hires. The new form may be used by employers now and becomes mandatory on May 8, 2013.
Until now, the I-9 has always been a one-page form. However, it is probably the most complex and misunderstood one-page form ever issued by the Federal Government.
Employers should take care to avoid mistakes when completing the form since even simple paperwork fines can range from $110 to $1,100 per violation and several companies have had to pay multimillion dollar fines. Some employers have been subject to criminal penalties including jail time for knowingly hiring undocumented workers and keeping them on the payroll.
The aim of the new I-9 form is laudable, to clear up many of the ambiguities that have existed in the past: How should persons with temporary visas complete Section One? What should employers do in Section Two if they are presented with a receipt instead of a listed document? How does one perform the reverification process in Section Three?
Besides, its new two-page format (three including a page entitled "Lists of Acceptable Documents"), the instructions are now 5-6 pages in length. In addition, the USCIS has updated its Handbook for Employers. The new Handbook is 70 pages long.
Changes in the Form
On the new form, page one must be completed by the new hire while page two is solely the employer's responsibility.
Section One now gives new hires the option of providing their telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to use this information to contact an employee whose information on the I-9 does not match DHS or Social Security records. If workers choose not to complete these fields, they should write "N/A".
Certain foreign nationals who are not lawful permanent residents of the U.S. may be required to list the country of issuance of their passports and their passport numbers on the I-9. The rules regarding this subject are complicated, and employers will want to read both the instructions and the handbook carefully, and consult with their attorneys where necessary. In general, the passport information is required if the person's I-94 Arrival-Departure document was issued by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency when they arrived in the U.S. However, if they extended or changed their status or their employer and their I-94 was issued by the USCIS, they should write "N/A" in these fields.
It's Complicated
Since these are new requirements, it is not yet clear how the government will classify errors. Errors which are classified as "procedural" means the government will not impose fines on the employer. The government will, however, fine the employer if they classify the error as "substantive".
When completing I-9 forms, both the old and the new, employers are faced with a formidable task. Many of the fields on the forms are far more complex than they appear. Below are a few examples:
In Section One, how many employers or new hires know what a "noncitizen national" is?Almost zero. The instructions to the new form define this term as follows: "Noncitizen nationals of the United States are persons born in American Samoa, certain former citizens of the former Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and certain children of noncitizen nationals born abroad." Unlike the old instructions, the USCIS has, at last, defined the term. However, this definition is about as clear as mud. The use of the words "certain" and "former" make this definition ambiguous. Are new hires and employers expected to know the definition of "former Trust Territory or the Pacific Islands"? They can always look this up on Wikipedia and learn about "Chuuk, Yap, Kosrae and Pohnpei". Seriously!
Few employers know that new hires need not list their Social Security numbers in Section One. Unless, of course, the employer is part of the E-Verify system, in which case the listing of the Social Security number is mandatory. The new instructions make this clear.
Because the penalties for noncompliance are so severe, many employers lean over backwards in attempting to comply with these complex rules. Ironically, these efforts are often to the employer's detriment. The Justice Department's Office of Special Counsel has fined numerous employers, some over $100,000, for demanding too many documents from new hires and for discrimination.
In the world of I-9s, things that may seem obvious often are not. For example, if a new hire is a Conditional Permanent Resident, his permanent residence expires after two years. Shouldn't the employer reverify his employment authorization before it expires? Simple logic says "yes", but the instructions say "no". If the employer does so, it is violating the law.
And once the discussion shifts to temporary working status, there is little in the law or the regulations to guide employers. So, in its "Handbook for Employers: Guidance for Completing Form I-9", the USCIS must simply resort to making things up.
Virtually every time the agency issues new policy guidance regarding employment authorization, it is forced to invent a method for employers to incorporate this guidance into their I-9 compliance procedures. For example, consider the "cap-gap". F-1 students, upon graduation, can apply to work using "Optional Practical Training" (OPT), usually for one year. However, students typically graduate and obtain their OPT in June. If an employer wants to sponsor them for an H-1B temporary professional working visas, this must be done in April, yet their H-1B employment authorization does not begin until October 1st. So, what are students supposed to do between the time that their OPT expires in June and when their H-1B starts in October? Quit their jobs and return to their country? This is impractical both for the student and for the employer. So a few years back, the government issued a "cap-gap" memo that permits students employed using OPT to continue to work throughout the summer as long as their employers had submitted H-1B petitions and applications for a change of status on their behalf, and they were either pending or approved. Great idea on the USCIS' part, but how is an employer supposed update a student's I-9 in such circumstances? Obviously, the employer cannot rely on either the law or the regulations as a guide since the "cap-gap" rule is solely a creature of an agency memo. So, as usual, the USCIS simply made something up, and employers can find the answer on page 21 of the Handbook.
This is so true with regard to some programs which provide work permits like Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The USCIS often waits until the last minute and simply publishes an item in the Federal Register, automatically extending TPS and work permits. I often wonder how many Human Resource Directors start each day with a cup of coffee and a copy of the Federal Register with its wide array of new and fascinating Federal regulations. Virtually zero, I suppose. Yet, when it comes to sponsoring employees for work visas and green cards, the Federal Government is very exacting in requiring employers to place advertisements in newspapers "of general circulation" and posting job notices for a certain number of business days in specified locations. When comparing how immigration rules impact Federal agencies and private employers, what is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander.
If you are an employer with hundreds or thousands of employees, you probably have an experienced Human Resources Manager. You send him or her to I-9 seminars and make sure that he/she carefully reads the new I-9 form, instructions, the USCIS Handbook, etc. Also, you probably have an attorney who is well-versed in I-9 issues, and you consult him/her on a regular basis. You perform regular internal audits to make sure that you are fully compliant with I-9 rules.
It is also a good idea to bookmark USCIS' I-9 Central and our Employer Compliance Guide, both of which are free online resources.
However, if you are a small business and you have neither the time nor the personnel to do any of this, it's probably time for you to say a little prayer or sign up for E-Verify, or perhaps, both.

DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. – Jasmine Davis is a coach's dream. She does a little bit of everything on the court for Francis Lewis and her Exodus Lady Lions travel team, playing multiple positions, rebounding, facilitating and scoring.
All that unselfishness might be hurting her in the eyes of college coaches, though.
"I'm worried that her recruiting might not be where it should be because of that," said Celia Davis, her mother and coach of the Lady Lions.
At Lewis, the 5-foot-8 Davis, a rising senior, is one of the tallest players on the team, so she routinely guards post players from opposing teams. Her strength and rebounding ability make her vital in the paint for the Patriots and the Lady Lions. But those are things she won't be doing much of in college, where she'll likely be a combo guard.
"It does [hurt]," Davis said of her recruiting. "But I know I have to do certain things when I'm on the court for my team."
That philosophy has made her a close confidante of Lewis coach Steve Tsai and the team's undisputed leader. She's that way for the Lady Lions, too. The two situations almost mirror each other.
"It prepares me for the school season," Davis said. "I'm doing the same things."
Though she perhaps doesn't have the looks she could be getting, Davis has gotten offers from Marshall and Albany, Celia said, and South Florida, South Carolina, Manhattan and Savannah State have all shown interest.
"She's a solid role player," one Division I assistant said. "She does better off the ball. Jasmine is a capable scorer with good court vision."
Celia Davis said that a school called her about her daughter as a point guard and she was shocked, because rarely does she get to play that position despite her excellent court vision.
"I don't think I'm a point guard," Jasmine said. "At the end of the day, it's easier getting to the basket than creating for other people. … [Distributing] is harder than it looks. It's really hard."
She does have a pretty good role model in that regard, however. Jasmine's older sister, Janine, was a star point guard at St. Michael Academy – the two played together when Janine was a senior and Jasmine was a freshman and since-closed St. Mike's won the New York State Federation Class AA title. Janine earned a scholarship to George Washington and has since transferred to Siena.
"She's a great point guard," Jasmine said. "Watching her, it really helps. … If they do put me at point guard, I'll be fine."
After all, she has always been willing to play whatever position her coach asks. There is one thing Jasmine is picky about: the college she will attend. Hawaii has always been her top choice, though the Rainbows staff has never seen her play. Exodus director Apache Paschall has called the school about her, but it has yet to show any interest.
"I don't know," she said with a laugh. "I've always wanted to go there since I was little. I followed their basketball team. I'm just really fond of it."
She denied that location and climate were what got her hooked on Hawaii with a slight smile.
"I like the school and the team," Jasmine Davis said. "It's not because of where it is."
Then she paused.
"It's part of it," she added. "But it's not the whole thing."
In college, she'll just be part of the team – not doing everything like she is now.

Back in the day when I was a Human Resources underling, my supervisor asked me to create a form to track exit interview data. I told her that exit interviews are for suckers. The data comes too late in the process, and we never do anything with the data except report on the information to our clients. We would be more effective HR Generalists if we gave our clients a weather report and served them a cup of coffee.
My boss said thanked me for my feedback by rolling her eyes and repeating her request. Okay, thanks mom, but I'm still not whipping up the form. I wasn't going to embarrass myself, and my supervisor, by delivering a fancy MS Word document to our clients.
I took a small risk and called another division within the company (because god forbid a Fortune 500 company have one HR process) and asked them to open up their fancy exit interview web system to our employees and HR generalists. They asked, "Do you have the budget for this?"
I answered, "Sure I do."
A successful project was born. They had a web portal (ooh!) and a searchable database (ooh!), and they were able to run reports and provide analysis on exit trends and trends on specific key words (i.e., low salary, more opportunity) within the data. We made a few cosmetic changes, flipped a switch, and the web portal available to our division's departing employees.
I received a gold star and a pat on the back for my efforts. In the zero-sum game of corporate America, my supervisor took credit for my accomplishments. That's fine, I thought, because I don't want my name associated with an exit interview process — no matter how fancy or pretty. The process itself is flawed, and HR always gets it wrong.
Sure enough, something totally predictable happened: hardly anyone used the exit interview web portal. Only the haters took the time to fill it out, and there wasn't enough data in the system to map the trends and perform a thoughtful analysis. Then a departing employee asked, "Why is this the first time I've ever been asked these questions? Why isn't my boss calling me to ask these questions?"
Common sense. This employee had it, and we lost him to a competitor.
So let me be clear as to why I hate exit interviews: It's not the job of Human Resources to tell the corporation why its employees are leaving. If your supervisors and leaders aren't talking to their employees and don't know more about your exit trends than Human Resources, your company needs an intervention.

Sweet Home Desserts (Recipes)
A collection of dessert recipes courtesy of Sweet Home by Phoenicia food writer Rebecca Miller Ffrench How to make: Strawberry Surprise Cupcakes, Mom's Banana Cake, Black Bottom Ice Cream Pie, Pistachio Lover's Pound Cake, Wacky Cakes-in-a-Cone, Sugared Mango and Anna Banana Muffins, and Nilla Wafer Pudding
(page 7 of 7)
Nilla Wafer Pudding
Serves 10 to 12
Pudding was an easy after-school snack when I was growing up. It was one of the first things I learned to cook, along with instant Cream of Wheat and cinnamon toast. One of my favorite recipe creations was vanilla pudding, bananas, and crushed Nilla Wafers. I would scoop it into a glass and stir in my toppings. (Later I learned that bananas and Nilla Wafers work well with ice cream in a blender too.) A little more time intensive than the Jell-O cook-and-serve packs of my childhood, this recipe for Nilla Wafer Pudding satisfies my sentimental side, while improving on history with a homemade pudding that's light, luscious, and pure. The yield is large enough to serve a crowd of kids or dish out at a backyard barbecue. For a more elegant presentation, assemble in a trifle bowl.
Nilla Wafer pudding:
• 3 large egg yolks
• ¾cup granulated sugar
• 3 tbsp corn starch
• ½tsp salt
• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup (1/2 pint) cold heavy cream
• ¼ cup confectioner's sugar
• 4 ripe bananas
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 50 vanilla wafers, crushed, plus a few whole for decoration
To make pudding:
- Put the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl and whisk slightly. Set aside.
- Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Carefully add the milk to the pan, whisking constantly for 8 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken. Do not let the pudding come to a complete full boil, just a gentle one.
- Remove the pan from the heat and pour half the thickened milk into the egg yolks and whisk well.
- Return the pan to the heat. Gently add the yolk mixture to the pan. While stirring constantly, bring the mixture back to a gentle boil, and continue to stir for 1 more minute.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and ½ teaspoon of the vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Whip the cream until light and fluffy. Do not overbeat. Stir in the confectioner's sugar and remianing ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Cut the bananas into ½-inch slices and sprinkle with the lemon juice. Carefully toss to coat all the bananas.
- In the bottom of a 2-quart bowl, spoon in 2 cups of the vanilla pudding. Sprinkle with ½ cup crushed wafers. Arrange 1 cup of the sliced bananas decoratively over the wafers. Spoon in the rest of the pudding and coat with 1 cup crushed wafers. Arrange the remaining bananas (reserve a few slices for decoration) on top of the wafers. Cover the entire surface with the whipped cream. Decorate with the reserved banana slices and whole wafers. Serve immediately or put in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

|Essay on the Nature and Immutability of Truth (1770); The Minstrel (1771–74)
James Beattie FRSE (/ˈbiːti/; 25 October 1735 – 18 August 1803) was a Scottish poet, moralist and philosopher.
James Beattie was born the son of a shopkeeper and small farmer at Laurencekirk in the Mearns, and educated at Marischal College (later part of Aberdeen University), graduating in 1753.
In 1760, he was appointed Professor of moral philosophy there as a result of the interest of his intimate friend, Robert Arbuthnot of Haddo. In the following year he published a volume of poems, The Judgment of Paris (1765), which attracted attention. The two works, however, which brought him most fame were An Essay on the Nature and Immutability of Truth, and his poem of The Minstrel. The Essay, intended as an answer to David Hume, had great immediate success, and led to an introduction to the King, a pension of £200, and the degree of LL.D. from Oxford. The first book of The Minstrel was published in 1771 and the second in 1774, and constitutes his true title to remembrance, winning him the praise of Samuel Johnson. It contains much beautiful descriptive writing.
Beattie was prominent in arguing against the institution of slavery, notably in his Essay on the Nature and Immutability of Truth (1770) and Elements of Moral Science.[2]
Beattie was an amateur cellist and member of the Aberdeen Musical Society. He considered questions of music philosophy in his essay On Poetry and Music (written 1762, published 1776), which was republished several times and translated into French in 1798. His poem "The Hermit" was set to music by Tommaso Giordani (1778).[3]
Beattie was co-founder of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1783.
Beattie underwent much domestic sorrow in the death of his wife, Mary Dunn, whom he had married in 1767, and two promising sons, which broke down his own health and spirits. He died in Aberdeen in 1803 and is buried there in St Nicholas' Churchyard.[4]
His niece, Margaret Valentine, married Rev Prof George Glennie FRSE.[5]
A biographical sketch, An Account of the Life of James Beattie, LL.D., was published in 1804 by Alexander Bower.[6]
The poet Robert Burns informed Mrs Frances Dunlop in a letter that the idea of using Coila as the name of his poetic muse first came to him from Beattie's use of a muse named 'Scota' in his Scots language poem of 1768 titled To Mr Alexander at Lochlee.
Beattie is one of the sixteen Scottish poets and writers depicted on the Scott Monument on Princes Street in Edinburgh. He appears on the left side of the east face.

Thursday Feature – My People Have a Saying
Author: Kallak
Stay with any group of people long enough, and you will learn their ways, their customs, and their language. If you already share a language, then you will pick up the "linguistic individualisms" that exist within the group. These tend to come in the form of words and terms, but they can also be gestures, phrases or sayings that trigger to shared knowledge or experience. They help to create a bond and can allow for volumes of information to be passed from one person to another (or a group) in an instant.
Thursday Feature – The Modern First-Timer GameMaster
Author: Kallak
"The End." – with these words, the six-book Pathfinder Adventure Path that my gaming group has spent the last few months hammering through reached its conclusion, and our collective thoughts turned toward the next campaign (if you're curious, we played Second Darkness, and our ending was uh… let's just go with "less than a total win").
And so, this week our group will attend the character making 'session 0' for the campaign of our good friend Fealoce, who despite having more than five years under his belt with the group, is still the new guy. I can't help but assume that this campaign will be long remembered by our troupe, because it has something that no other campaign we have played together in the last decade or so has… a First-Timer GameMaster.
Obsidian Portal Campaign of the Month May 2016 – Mysteria
Shhh Shh Sh! Can you hear it? It's very feint when you're first listening for it – but it is ever present, lingering in the air – or perhaps the heart. Yes… that; now you hear it. Indeed, the music is stirring – as well it should be – for that is the sound of knowledge and adventure. They call it the Song of Midgard, but I like to think of it as the song of Mysteria – May's Campaign of the Month! So settle in as we spend a little quality time with twiggyleaf, the GameMaster of this gem.
Thursday Feature – Let Your Players Surprise You
Author: Kallak
As the GameMaster, your approach to the campaign is obviously significantly different than that of the players. You fight to hold the middle ground between keeping the campaign "on track" while making sure you aren't "railroading" the players through a linear and ultimately predictable plot. You strive to walk the tightrope of making truly awe-inspiringly bad ass memorable villains, while trying to not fall in love with them yourself so that you aren't crushed when the players deliver the death blow – which more than likely comes in the most demeaning way imaginable after only a couple of rounds. There's not much in the way of discovery or exploration for you like there is for the rest of the gaming group. You have the burden of advance knowledge.
Thursday Feature – Managing the Action Economy
Author: Kallak
If you've ever run a game where your ultimate villain got annihilated in two rounds because they were simply overwhelmed by the PCs before they could really do much of anything, then you've experienced being on the losing end of the Action Economy in, well… action. Simply put, more actions per round means you get more done, or you accomplish a goal in a shorter span of time. Whatever the objective, "more actions" tends to equate to more success – or at least more chances for success. And so, as the GM it falls to you to manage the Action Economy, as it can have large consequences on the game.
Site and Tech Updates (May 2016)
Greetings Obsidian Portal Community,
I'll have to ask your forgiveness for this temporary interruption to our regularly scheduled lineup (and for the unexpected delay in getting it out to you), but it is my hope that you'll indulge me a bit – and that you'll find the following site and technical updates to be something that you're also interested in reading about. It has been right about six months since our last technical update, so I think it's fair to say we're due.
Over the course of this week, I had the opportunity to find out what's been going on behind the scenes, learn more about where things sit with the site right now, and get a sense of what's coming down the proverbial pipe as time moves on.

The University of Florida will offer the Fun & Fit Families program, geared toward the families of overweight children in Alachua County.
Tag. You're it.
"Flush tag," which will prompt a discussion about the importance of hydration and water, is just one of the games that a new weight management program will feature in June.
The University of Florida will offer the Fun & Fit Families program, geared toward the families of overweight children in Alachua County. It is a family-based lifestyle intervention that allows children and parents to collaborate in making healthy dietary and physical activity changes.
The program will emphasize nutritious snacks, like seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as fun ways to stay physically active through games.
Games are centered on healthy lifestyle topics. For example, "red light, green light" will focus on the importance of healthier foods, based on color.
The first program is free for families who qualify, and it is designed for 8- to 12-year-old children with body mass indexes greater than or equal to the 85th percentile for their age and sex, said Lauren Fischer, ARNP and program coordinator.
Fischer said that by the start of the program, she thinks 10 families will be enrolled. There are eight families currently enrolled.
"We decided to keep the groups small because our hope is that the families will bond and support each other through the process of changing their family's lifestyle," Fischer said.
The program will last 16 weeks. Families will meet weekly for eight weeks and then twice weekly for eight weeks at the Southwest Advocacy Group Family Resource Center at 807 SW 64th Terrace.
At these meetings, Dr. Janet Silverstein, principal investigator and UF professor of pediatric endocrinology, and David Janicke, a UF associate professor of clinical and health psychology, will measure the effectiveness of the program on children's heart disease risk factors, including dietary intake, physical activity and blood vessel stiffness.
The program will also have four participant assessment visits.
For each child, Silverstein will measure blood pressure, BMI, height and weight. She will also measure blood vessel stiffness using an ultrasound of an artery in his or her wrist.
"I don't know of any other program that does that," Silverstein said. "It's not routine care, but it's something that we think is important."
Silverstein wants to see if this program improves participants' blood vessel stiffness because an adult's blood vessel stiffness is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Ultimately, the goal of this program, which is a collaboration of three UF colleges — the College of Medicine, the College of Public Health and Health Professions, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences — is for participants to maintain the learned lifestyle changes.
"Hopefully, these changes will be long-lasting enough that they really will persist throughout their entire lives," Silverstein said.
As part of the trend toward healthier living, the School Board of Alachua County has implemented a comprehensive wellness program.
Revised in January 2012, the wellness policy covers everything from fundraising to nutrition and physical education.
For some high-needs schools in the county, grants provide fruits and vegetables as snacks.
"We've been very aggressive for years to get all kids active and eating right," said Jackie Johnson, public information officer for the School Board. "The policy just sets up the framework. The real action happens at the school."

CMS stresses disaster preparedness in cyber security advisory
A memo on cyber security in healthcare settings was posted Friday
Long-term care providers should consider cyber security when developing and reviewing their emergency-preparedness plans, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services advised in a memo sent Friday.
The notice, shared with state survey agency directors, acknowledged that while the agency's recently released emergency preparedness rule did not specifically address cyber security, providers could still benefit from adopting an "all-hazards approach" to mitigating cyber attacks. The "all-hazards" approach focuses on the capabilities necessary for providers to be ready "for a full spectrum of emergencies or disasters," CMS said.
Preparing for a cyber-security attack could help address the disruptions of patient care that can occur when an attack is successful, as well as adverse events such as incomplete discharge instructions, the compromising of personal health information and in some cases, closing or suspending operations in a facility.
The agency also recommended that facility administration review policies and procedures related to cyber attacks, such as when a security breach would require a facility's electronic systems to be shut down, and guidelines for notifying federal and state officials.
CMS also highlighted attack mitigation methods in the memo, including retraining staff to use non-electronic documentation methods, familiarizing staff with the paper-based medication administration record process, and pre-programing contact information into fax machines in the event that computer systems are inaccessible.
Click here to read CMS' full memo, which includes additional resources that facilities can use in their cyber-security planning process.

It is so bad, it doesn't even deserve an "EVAR." It is a single, befuddled squint, stretched out to 1584 words. It doesn't pretend to examine what The Hills "really" is––it never even steps into the realm of criticism or analysis. It's like it's not even trying.
But because of all that, maybe it's actually the ultimate story about The Hills? Maybe in its nothingness, it's refusal of depth, it's actually an episode of The Hills in New Yorker essay form.

[Recap] SBS "Strong Heart": SNSD Talks Wardrobe Malfunction, Dissects Hyori's Sexy Dance, Infinite Unveils Dorm Room, and More!
This week's SBS "Strong Heart" was another episode full of shocking (and amusing) real-life stories told by some of the top K-Pop celebrities. The show was an extension of last week's episode with the same guests, including SNSD's YoonA, Yuri, Tiffany, and Taeyeon, as well as FT Island's Lee Hong Ki, Son Ho Young, Infinite's Sung Jong, and many others. Here's a rundown of the top moments:
1) The "Disgraceful Generation" and "Boom's Generation"
Comedians Jung Joo Ri and Jo Jung Rin teamed up to form "Disgraceful Generation." They kicked off the show with a cover/parody performance of SNSD's "The Boys." Later, the real SNSD members joined their performance and danced together to the tunes of "The Boys."
But the parody stage didn't stop there. Boom, comedian Yang Sae Hyung, and Infinite's Sung Jong (part of the Boom Academy) dressed in SNSD's outfits with some make up on to put on another stunning performance of "The Boys." Infinite's Sung Jong, in particular, caught a lot of attention for looking strikingly feminine. After seeing Sung Jong's dance, Tiffany commented, "I think he looks prettier than me."
2) "Ripping YoonA" and "Ripping Taeyeon"
SNSD's YoonA titled her story, "Ripping YoonA." She said the title was inspired by 2PM Taecyeon's nickname, "Ripping Taecyeon," for his propensity to often rip off his shirt on stage. The incident happened during the SNSD Japan concert last September. YoonA had a solo dance part where she had to crouch and immediately get up. But when she got up, she heard a ripping sound from her back. She couldn't check if her pants were actually popped since she was in the middle of her solo dance, with more than 50,000 people staring at her. So she started dancing less aggressively and kept covering the back with her shirt. But when she later touched the back part, it was totally fine. So she went backstage and changed to her next outfit, only to discover where the ripping sound came from – two fist sized holes were found in the crouch area!
Taeyeon also shared a similar incident. SNSD tends to wear very tight outfits on stage, but during one of their concerts, she felt a sudden sense of liberation from her upper part. It turned out that her shirt was ripped apart on the side, and it was about to slip off. It was a duet stage with Tiffany and she said she could tell Taeyeon was in pain as her hand was oddly positioned to hold up the shirt from falling off. As the three and a half minute performance was coming to an end, Taeyeon couldn't resist the pain and at last yelled, "Help Me!" They said the crowd probably noticed what was going on since it was quite obvious at the moment, but they applauded the girls for their professionalism.
3) Boom's one and only kiss scene
Boom shared a funny story of his one and only kiss scene. While filming veteran comedian Lee Kyung Gyu's movie, "Bloody Revenge 2," Boom was surprised to see a kiss scene in his script. He pictured himself getting macho and giving a romantic kiss to the female counterpart. But he later found out that the female lead declined to film that part and insisted upon deleting that scene. So they settled with a soft kiss scene and Boom apologized to the actress, Lee So Yeon.
4) Blood type "B"
This segment was about celebrity blood types. It started with blood type B's, who are generally known for easily losing their temper over menial matters. SNSD's YoonA revealed she's also blood type B and shared a story that reflected her personality. One day, YoonA saw a stranger standing in front of her dorm at night. The automatic door at the main entrance takes a few seconds to close, and the unknown man followed in YoonA right after she entered the building. YoonA first got on the elevator but the fan would just run up the stairs without seeing her. So YoonA held the elevator doors open, and watched what the fan was trying to do. The fan turned out to be peeking down at her from upstairs, so YoonA called him. And it wasn't just a friendly, "Hey, can you come down?" tone, but rather a "Hey you, come here!" Apparently, she got angry and told the fan, "Do you live here? You shouldn't be coming in here!" But the fan later apologized so she let him go. It is commonly known that blood type B's have a tendency to lose their temper easily, but at the same time, quickly forget what happened and calm down easily too.
Ex-G.O.D. member Son Ho Young also shared a story related to his short temper (he's B-type too). Right before his debut, he went to a game room but saw his friend being mugged by someone. His short temper got the best of him and he started beating up the guy. He said he used to beat up people a lot when he was younger, but would usually calm down while throwing punches. But that day he got scared of the whole situation and just ran away from the scene. But it turned out the guy's father was a lawyer, and because of the fight, Son Ho Young was called to the court. It was right before his G.O.D. debut, so he had bleached hair, but to reach a settlement with the guy and his father, Son Ho Young had to shave his head and wait in front of the guy's house for 24 straight hours.
Later, FT Island's Hong Ki was asked what blood type he was and he shyly said, "AB." Yuri also said she's AB but seemed a bit embarrassed about it. She said there's a misperception of AB blood types, to which Hong Ki jumped in and said, "DDo Ra Ee (a derogatory term for crazy person in Korean)." Not sure if all AB's are crazy but they sure have a unique personality!
5) How to be as sexy as Hyori
Actress Jin Sae Yeon, who's known for her role in the movie, "White: Cursed Melody," told a story of her practicing sexy dance moves. In her debut movie, she was cast as a sexy girl group member, so she had to find a role model. So she picked Lee Hyori and dissected every move of her stage performance. To follow Hyori's sexy moves, she said first you need to make sexy eye contact. You have to turn your head hard, lift your chin a bit, and then give an impactful glare. Second, your fingers matter. You have to stick your index finger out and lean the third and fourth fingers in.
Yuri also said she used to analyze Hyori's dance moves in the past. She said unlike the other Fin.K.L members, who would always try to look cute and feminine, Hyori would always have more action and try to overly shake her head a lot. The added movements in her hair made her look sexier than others while keeping the cute and girly image at the same time. But when Yuri tried the same move during SNSD's "Run Devil Run" performance, her hair would always get stuck with her lip gloss, so she stopped imitating her.
Back to Jin Sae Yeon and her Hyori analysis. The third point was the dynamics of the dance. Instead of just dancing along the flow, you have to articulate the dynamics. Taeyeon also agreed with the dynamics and gave a little dance lesson of her own.
Jin Sae Yeon revealed she used to be called "Jamwon Dong YoonA" for her similar looks and dance moves. Later she gave a live performance of Lee Hyori's "U Go Girl" and SNSD's "Into the New World."
6) A peek into Infinite's new dorm
Last September, Infinite's Woo Hyun came on the show and complained about their dormitory. He said their dorm had no main entrance and water would leak from the ceiling, while the walls were covered with mold. But after they won first place with "Be Mine," the CEO of their agency promised to move them to a much better apartment. The wish has been granted and Sung Jong gave a video tour of their new pad.
After seeing the video, YoonA said Infinite is her favorite hoobae group because of their perfect choreography and hard work ethic. Tiffany said they reminded her of SNSD's early years. She also picked Hoya as her favorite member of the group.
7) Preview of next week's episode
For next week's preview, screen shots of Wonder Girls dancing with a mysterious sixth member were unveiled at the end of the show. You can find out in next week's recap who that is!

By Michael S. Goldberger, film critic
In answer to the question I've most been asked since viewing Joe Johnston's "The Wolfman," only insofar as the lunatical idea itself is it true to the original. Even the spelling of the titles is different, "The Wolf Man" (1941) being constructed as three words. Fielding the second most posed inquiry, it is more gruesome than shocking.
In other words, though the remake takes place in an English hamlet, circa 1891, Lawrence Talbot's fiend is a werewolf for his time, a product of 21st century horror film sensibilities. The tip-off comes early, when the protagonist, who originally travels from America to help find his missing brother, is brought to a butcher shop to view the body.
From there, it's just some expository notions and a few plot details before we're into a steady diet of disembowelments and decapitations. To what end, we are again not sure. Indeed, the townspeople are a dumb, intolerant and superstitious bunch. But then that doesn't mean they deserve to be tormented and turned into body parts, does it?
Which is why the lycanthropy thing is so upsetting. There are no morals. We are dealing with the Wolfman. Like his namesake, he doesn't assess or philosophize when it comes to his prey. As the legend reads, "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolf bane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."
Nonetheless, just as Lon Chaney, Jr. before him, Benicio Del Toro's Lawrence Talbot tries to do the right thing after being nibbled by whatever it is that haunts the woods near Talbot Manor. But alas, like his distant cousin(s) "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1941) at MGM have found, fighting the inherent duality of man's nature is a daunting occupation.
And creepy dear old dad isn't really much help. Prone to eerie stares and ominous pontification, Anthony Hopkins's Sir John Talbot gives off a tad of eau de Dr. Hannibal Lecter. As the mysterious variable in this newest permutation, he introduces an Oedipal angle to the ensuing murder and mayhem. Guilty thrills abound. And it gets pretty nutty.
Even the Gypsies, initially blamed for the series of unexplained brutalizations, can't fathom the baffling powers that terrorize the night. Here, Geraldine Chaplin does a nice variation on Maria Ouspenskaya's Maleva. Of course the title beast's main ally comes in the form of beauty.
Betrothed to Lawrence's deceased brother, she is Gwen Conliffe.
Still hanging about the manse as a measure of good form, Emily Blunt's Gwen is stirred by Larry's zeal to solve his brother's murder. We can guess where this is going. While Miss Blunt emits a good screech or two, she wisely doesn't try to outdo Evelyn Ankers, the original Gwen and Universal horror staple feted as "The Queen of the Screamers."
But then tastes have changed. Incongruous accents, skewed geographies and inconsistent time periods were part and parcel of what is now revered as the classic age of horror. Big deal if Chaney couldn't act. The flaws provided both charm and an escape valve that assured all but the youngest viewers that this is, after all, just a lot of spooky nonsense.
Hence, just as Bela Lugosi came to be synonymous with Dracula and Boris Karloff became readily interchangeable with Frankenstein, Lon Chaney, Jr.'s Wolf Man rounded out the unholy trinity. But so much for respectful dispensation. After bearing the brunt of several real life demons during WW II, we take our film monsters a bit more seriously.
While it is doubtful Mr. Del Toro will be celebrated for his intuitive interpretation of how the genre's metaphor has changed, the understatement he assumes in the midst of such wildly hairy doings is a testament to his thespic skill. The bedlam all around him imparts just the right dramatic antithesis. The FX folks pull out all the stops and more.
The synthesis of CGI magic and standard movie trickery, while not nearly as innovative for its time as the painstaking stop-action work that turned Chaney into the Wolf Man, provides virtually seamless transitions. Likewise, the art direction and costume design etch a brooding, premonitory contrast to the vaunted optimism of late Victorian England.
But skipping the film critic gibberish and getting down to cases, this stuff is killer-diller grisly. We witness one vile act after another as if shuttling through a depraved funhouse. Still, though keeping intact the lore, the cinematically superior "Wolfman," bloodthirsty chills and all, can't match the enduring marks left by its bitingly camp predecessor.
"The Wolfman," rated R, is a Universal Pictures release directed by Joe Johnston and stars Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt and Anthony Hopkins. Running time: 125 minutes

DANVILLE, Ky. (CentreColonels.com) – The Centre men's basketball team jumped out to a 45-17 first half lead en route to a 73-53 Southern Athletic Association (SAA) triumph over Oglethorpe on Friday night at Alumni Gymnasium.
The Colonels boosted their records to 12-7 overall and 8-2 in SAA action with the win, while the Stormy Petrels drop to 6-15 on the season and 3-7 in league play.
Centre jumped out to an early 8-0 lead fueled by back-to-back 3-pointers by freshman guard Bailey Rakes (Mt. Washington, Ky.) and sophomore guard Jarod Griffin (Lexington, Ky.).
Oglethorpe would shrink the Colonels' advantage to 11-5, before Centre used a 14-4 run to go ahead 25-9 after a 3-pointer by freshman guard Art Walker (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) with just over 12 minutes to play in the first half.
The Colonels held a 32-15 lead before closing the opening half with a 13-2 surge keyed by 3-pointers from senior guard Sam Gruber (LaGrange, Ky.) and sophomore guard Tucker Sine (Bowling Green, Ky.) to give Centre a 45-17 advantage at the break.
The Colonels owned a 47-28 advantage just over four minutes into the second half before a 16-0 spurt highlighted by a pair of 3-pointers by Walker pushed the Centre lead to its largest of the night of 35 points at 63-28 with 11:13 showing on the clock.
The Stormy Petrels would make a run down the stretch to minimize the final deficit to 20 points.
Freshman guard Perry Ayers (Bowling Green, Ky.) stuffed the stat sheet to lead the Colonels, tallying 15 points, six rebounds and seven assists on the night. Ayers shot 3-of-5 from the floor and a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe for Centre.
Walker added 11 points off the bench, sinking 3-of-6 shots from behind the arc and 2-of-2 from the free throw line.
Griffin recorded 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-6 from long range.
All told, 12 Colonels appeared in the scoring column in the win.
Chris Lawrence paced the Stormy Petrels with 12 points, connecting on 3-of-5 field goals and 6-of-10 free throws in the contest.
Drew Patrick added 11 markers to go with five rebounds.
Centre shot 43.4 percent (23-of-53) from the field, 37.1 percent (13-of-35) from downtown and 82.4 percent (14-of-17) from the line while Oglethorpe was 40.4 percent (19-of-47) on field goals), 22.7 percent (5-of-22) from behind the arc and 58.8 percent (10-of-17) on free throws.
The Colonels outrebounded the Stormy Petrels 36-29 in the contest and held advantages of 15-7 in assists, 17-10 in points off turnovers, 9-6 in second chance points and a lopsided 44-7 in bench points.
Centre never trailed in the ball game as the Colonels win their fourth consecutive game for the second time this season.
Centre is back in action this Sunday, Feb. 3 hosting Berry in another SAA matchup at 3 p.m. ET at Alumni gymnasium. The Colonels will honor seniors Matt Gump, Sam Gruber and Brett Jones prior to the contest as part of senior day festivities.

Did Kyle just say "Hillsong" on air? Whenever I'm listening to the radio/TV/podcasts and the words 'Jesus', 'church' or 'Christian' comes up, my attention is instantly piqued. What are they talking about? How is Jesus being represented? How will the church fare?
Sadly, more often than than not any mention of the Christian faith is generally aligned with restrictive traditional ideology, ignorance, or abuse. Our voice is overrun by extremes of society that position us in a bad light, seeing us relegated to the periphery of a culture we want to love, and bring Christ-like definition to.
This morning Kyle and Jackie O hosted model and young-Hollywood favourite Hailey Baldwin (daughter of Stephen, niece of Alec), promoting her next visit Down Under. In an initial blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Hailey mentions visiting Hillsong Conference, before later circling back to the Aussies Hillsong-ers that taught her sarcasm (you're welcome America).
Instead of dropping it, Kyle praises Hillsong, admitting if he were the kind of guy to go to Church, "Hillsong would be the one [he'd] go to." Sorry, what did you just say? In an instant, a celebrity interview became a platform for the most influential commercial jock in Sydney to salute an often chastised faith community. There was no fanfare or aggrandisement of Hailey's sentiments, just a recognition of her engagement (more power to you girl).
As host of a Christian Breakfast show, one of my personal mandates is to connect listeners to Christ in culture. Reflecting Jesus in stories of the day, and pointing Sydney to an honest joy-filled Christianity. During one of our annual fundraising appeals, a Mum called to tell us what she loved about her station was her son could hear other people "just like him" on the air. He heard his lifestyle celebrated, and we were "normal" people.
Hearing Hailey on KIIS was refreshing. Her life may be more grand than most, but here a young woman simply integrated her faith with her profession and carried on. Kyle and Jackie O may not ever be hailed 'pro-Jesus' or recognise the encouragement in that exchange, but Paul reminds us while some may preach out of selfish ambition some envy, and others out of falsehood, "the important thing is whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached (Philippians 1)."
*Note: If you'd like to hear Hailey's interview it can be found via the Kyle and Jackie O podcast: http://www.kiis1065.com.au/shows/kyle-jackie-o/ || Dated 29/11/2016 at 1:21:00.

February 04, 2014 08:40 ET
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2014) - RenewData, a legal consulting and technology company with solutions that address the full spectrum of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), today announced enhanced dashboard features for its Language-Based Analytics offerings that help in-house counsel monitor review progress, focus review efforts and prepare for depositions.
The dashboard for Language-Based Analytics, which integrates with kCura's Relativity, consists of widgets that provide on-demand metrics for:
"With the amount of data contained in modern document reviews, it is often difficult for counsel to identify high-priority and relevant aspects of the process as they develop," said Andy Kraftsow, Chief Scientist of RenewData. "The Language-Based Analytics Dashboard illustrates the value of knowing exactly how people talked about each issue, a benefit unique to Language-Based Analytics users."
Language-Based Analytics relies on a patented highlight-driven bulk tagger and patent-pending keyword development technology to increase the speed and reduce the costs of today's document reviews. When paired with the Language-Based Analytics Dashboard, the result is a more efficient and effective document review process that can be completed before 20 percent of the collection has been reviewed.
To learn more about the Language-Based Analytics Dashboard, go to http://www.renewdata.com or visit RenewData at LegalTech New York, Feb. 4-6, 2014 (booth number 310).

School Lunch in Okinawa October 22-31
Monday October 22
Milk, autumn rice, baked mackerel, cabbage and sesame salad, root vegetable soup
Monday's meal highlights one of the major strengths of Japanese cuisine: seasonal ingredients. The rice was infused with flavors and vegetables that are ripe in autumn. Along side the rice was a salad of cabbage, cucumber and other vegetables in sesame dressing, a clear broth soup with root vegetables, and a slice of baked mackerel.
Tuesday October 23
Milk, Chinese rice bowl, wakame (seaweed) soup, orange
This meal shows a common lunch or "fast food" in Japan. Rice bowls allow for a "one plate" eating experience which is the opposite of traditional eating. Even here, a Chinese take on a don (rice bowl) is supplemented by soup. On the rice was a stir fry of vegetables and meat in a thick sauce. There were also quail eggs and mini shrimp.
Wednesday October 24
Milk, bread, baked fish, bean salad, mushroom soup
Wednesday is often bread day. It's interesting how less full you feel when eating bread as opposed to rice. Likely its due to the fact it can take longer to eat rice than bread. As usual, I ended up making a tasty fish sandwich. The bean salad turned out to be mostly vegetables while the mushroom soup was a great light pairing with the heaviness of the rest of the meal.
Thursday October 25
Milk, barley rice, teriyaki chicken, mustard greens (chikina-) chanpuru, vegetable soup
This meal was pretty standard, though the chicken is more of an American take on Japanese food. The chanpuru was like many I've had but with mustard greens which provide unique flavors. The soup had a great broth from vegetable stock and included burdock root, daikon, and other veggies.
Friday October 26
Milk, barley rice, small fried fish, sliced burdock root, clear soup
The week ended with my favorite and least favorite items mixed together. I love kinpira (sliced) burdock and carrots, while I am not a fan of whole fish. The fish actually taste great, it just becomes a usual talking point as I rip off the heads to discard. Four years of "I don't eat heads," gets old, but in the end there's really no excuse not to eat them whole except my squeamishness. I'm sure they taste just fine. The soup was extra light since it was strained to ensure a clear broth.
Monday October 29
Milk, pork curry, pickled vegetables, fruit in sauce
I've recently attempted making curry from scratch. Not with rue packets, but straight from seasonings. My first attempt was awesome, the second not so good. Both were far from the Japanese take on curry. Curry is a favorite in Japanese schools, but it is different. I've already shown how to make it from boxed curry cubes, but honestly I don't know what's in the cubes to make them taste so different from Indian curry. Whatever it is, both are good and definitely distinct. Once I master the from scratch version, I'll post it!
Tuesday October 30
Milk, barley rice, vegetable irichi, stuffed inari, a-sa soup
Tuesday's meal was a weird one. I cannot get over the stuffed inari. Inari is a bean curd pocket usually stuffed with rice at sushi restaurants. It's slightly sweet and delicious. Unfortunately, the stuffed inari we get is a mixture of savory and sweet I find edible, but not enjoyable. The side dish is a mix of vegetables including konnaku sliced and prepared in the irichi style. Along side was a sea plant soup.
Wednesday October 31
Milk, basil spaghetti, tomato omelette, vegetable salad, Halloween cup cake
Happy Halloween! For the end of October we had a very non-Japanese meal, excepting the sheer variety of the dishes. Omelette and spaghetti? Sure! All the dishes were good on their own, and somehow came together. The portion of the salad was a bit big and since it was served cold not the best contrast to the spaghetti. The unfortunate leaf vegetables also got a bit stringy. On the upside we got tasty Halloween cupcakes.
Which was your favorite? Let us know in the comments!

Schedule your campus visit today!
Three high school students from Marian University's summer camps, Individualized Research-Oriented College Credit (IROCC) Camp and Camp for Research and Orientation (Camp ROC) earned spots to compete at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) with an all-expense paid trip to Los Angeles, California, May 11-16.
IROCC, hosted by the School of Mathematics and Sciences, is a summer research initiative that allows high school students to perform cutting edge science projects and begin their collegiate careers by earning college credits. Camp ROC provides students with an exciting research experience through a fun, camp-based INTEL ISEF curriculum.
"We help students with every area of their research, from picking a topic, background research, executing experiments, and composing poster presentations. Unlike other research programs, these students do not just observe different techniques; they observe, learn, and then execute these techniques themselves. The students must be the ones to actually perform all experimental procedures used in their project," said Kimberly Vogt, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology and mentor for the summer programs.
Both camps began in summer 2013 with 14 participants, who have since experienced much success. Of the 14 students, 11 won their school science fairs and were recommended by teachers to compete in the Central Indiana Regional Science and Engineering Fair. Of those 11 students, five students earned awards and or/the chance to compete at the state science fair, the Hoosier Science and Engineering Fair.
The three students competing in the international fair are: Vikas Maturi, who earned third place for his for his research, "Male Fragility in Drosophila melanogaster with Antennapedia Mutation," Amir Sankari who scored high enough to compete at the international level for his research, "White River Water Quality and Pollution Research using Benthic Macroinvertebrates Bioindicators," and Asmaa Mahoui, who earned second place for her research, "Comparative Analysis of CO2 Sequestration and Calcium Carbonate Precipitation using Different Strains of Cyanobacteria."
"These weeks at camp have shown me how to tackle a full research project in a limited time. Science projects aren't perfect; mistakes happen. I have learned how to adapt and change to whatever situation I'm given, while keeping the end goal in mind," said Maturi about his time at Camp ROC.
This summer, Marian University will offer IROCC and Camp ROC for the second time. Sessions will begin in June. For more information or to register, please visit the camp website.

The Albuquerque Cohousing Group started meeting in spring 2008. We have identified our core values and are currently looking for land. Sustainability is a primary focus of our group - recognizing that cohousing offers many opportunities for sharing resources, big and small, and reducing the size our individual footprints. We want an intergenerational community that is located within walking or public transit distance of typical amenities and is large enough for gardens and some open space. We are currently in the land search phase. We have temporarily suspended regular meetings, but are interested in any land possibilities.

Beyonce Reveals Flawless Abs In New Pic — She's Hotter Than Ever
'Ring The Alarm,' because Beyonce is hotter than ever! Queen Bey just shared some sexy new snaps with her fans on her Tumblr page, and it appears her new vegan diet is doing her body good.
On Dec. 3, Beyonce Knowles — along with husband Jay-Z — committed to going vegan for 22 days, and just one week later, she uploaded a series of pictures that show off some pretty amazing results!
Beyonce Reveals Flawless Abs In New Pic
Beyonce, 32, has always had an enviable figure, but we're not sure we've ever seen her abs this solid. In the new series of photos, Beyonce poses in tiny white bikini bottoms and gives a nod to her home state in a red Texas football jersey, rolled up under her bra to reveal her flat stomach.
With her newly bleached blonde hair flowing in beachy waves and only minimal makeup on, Beyonce looks effortlessly gorgeous.
We're so inspired by Beyonce's abs of steel that we're thinking of trying a vegan diet too! Tell us HollywoodLifers, would you ever go vegan?
Jay-Z & Beyonce Go Vegan For 22 Days
Jay-Z and Beyonce are always ahead of the curve. The "Holy Grail" hit-maker revealed that he and his wife were inspired by a close friend to give up animal food products until Dec. 25.
Jay-Z wrote on his "Life and Times" Blog:
Psychologists have said it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. On the 22nd day, you've found the way.
On December 3, one day before my 44th birthday I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!
This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a plant-based breakfast everyday. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought.
It just feels right! So you can call it a spiritual and physical cleanse. I will post my progress. Any professional vegans out there that have any great food spots please help out! Please!
I don't know what happens after Christmas. A semi-vegan, a full plant-based diet? Or just a spiritual and physical challenge? We'll see. P.S. B (Beyonce) is also joining me.
We think it's great that Jay-Z and Beyonce aren't afraid to try new things. Maybe this is just what they need to bring them closer together.
