The purpose of the Gender Studies Minor (GSM), which offers cross-listed courses in sixteen departments across Bloomsburg campus, is the study of social, cultural, and historical constructions of gender and its intersections with other constructions such as race, class, nation, and sexuality.
The program investigates gender relationships and inequalities in a variety of societal contexts and strives to provide co-curricular experiences to enhance the Gender Studies Minor curriculum and raise awareness about issues of gender. Eighteen credit hours are required to complete this minor program.
Albra Wheeler and Jacqueline Whitman, two Gender Studies Minor students, recently presented research papers at The Multiple Faces of Activism: Feminism in the 21st Century conference at the University of Akron, which was open to undergraduate and graduate students from several states.
Wheeler's paper, "The Wonderbra: Oppression vs. Liberation in a Patriarchal Society," traces the evolvement of modern brasseries and looks at the bra through historical and feminist perspectives and aims to establish whether the "Wonderbra" signifies submission to or emancipation from the patriarchal society.
Whitman's paper, "Womanhouse: Opening the Closed Door," is a study of three bathrooms, "Nightmare Bathroom," "Lipstick Bathroom," and "Menstruation Bathroom," which symbolically represent the anguish women endure in their private lives.
Both students are recipients of the Student Professional Development Awards from the College of Liberal Arts.
Additionally, Wheeler won the Emerging Scholar Award, given to a conference presenter by the Committee for Research on Women and Gender of the University of Akron in recognition of a student who displays exemplary scholarship. This award also recognizes a student with a demonstrated commitment to women's and gender issues.

Bryan Stow has given his first interview since being brutally beaten on Opening Day at Dodger Stadium. The full interview will air on the NBC magazine this Monday, but a portion is available on the show's website. NBC Bay Area has the above report with the brief portion of the interview therein. As you can see, Stow is able to have a relatively simple conversation with a mildly condescending Dr. Nancy Snyderman.

Some Kind of Fairy Tale: George MacDonald/
With October's Horror duo over with, I decided that it was time to shift gears again in preparation for the really big fantasy event of the year: The Hobbit, and thus focus on some of the background on Fantasy literature, which I haven't really focused on thus far. Like Science Fiction, context for the development of Tolkien's works relies on an earlier look at what came before, and the notable author that I became interested in was George MacDonald, who really jump started the Fantasy genre by creating a number of modern fairy tales that inspired many fantasy authors that came before him. He's not a household name like Mary Shelley, Jules Verne or H.G. Wells, but he was no less influential in his works, which went on to inspire authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
Go read Some Kind of Fairy Tale over on Kirkus Reviews.
Sources Used:
George MacDonald, Michael R. Phillips: This biography of MacDonald is an interesting one, taking on both the man and his works, in both historical and narrative style. It's a good read, with quite a bit of information about the author and some of his major influences.
An Expression of Character: The Letters of George MacDonald: This volume contains the collected letters of MacDonald, which proved to be marginally useful for this piece: some of his books are mentioned, but nothing other than mentions of his books, rather than process (at least that I could find).
Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature, Vol 3, Frank Magill: I've been talking a lot about Science Fiction recently, and as I've begun to look more closely at Fantasy literature, needed to pick up the companion to the Survey that I've been using. Also edited by Frank Magill, it covers a wide range of fantasy novels and authors. The entry for Phantastes is a great overview of MacDonald and his career, and was incredibly useful for this piece.
George MacDonald, William Raeper: This biography is another good insight into MacDonald and his life and really helped to support the other pieces that I referenced.

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
Everybody hates numbers, especially when they are large and represent money you don't have. But readers, pay close attention to this re-telling of our county's attempts at trimming the budget thus far:
In September, 2012 the commissioner was seeking a 9 percent property tax increase that would have generated a little over $650,000 in extra money for the county. But bowing to public pressure, Commission Chairman Robert Jones (with the pledged cooperation of all the elected officials), cut the tax increase back to 4.5 percent.
Commissioner Jones and the other elected officials said they would make up the $650,000 shortfall in the county budget using $328,347 in additional taxes from the 4.5 percent increase and then make cuts or find other revenues to cover the remaining $322,000.
Sounds like a plan. But, when the 2013 budget was released a few weeks later, the pledged cuts hadn't materialized and the budget had actually grown by 2.48 percent or $483,837.
The county's new CFO explained that this seeming reverse resulted from inaccurate budget figures used by the previous CFO and the increase in the budget came from new revenue and would not require any additional taxes. To her credit, having an accurate picture is essential to getting a handle on this mess. The commissioner was emphatic in adopting the budget that while it was up, they were trimming spending that comes from taxes.
Now, let's jump to January 2013, the recently installed three person commission in their very first meeting, pledges to cut $1 million from the $19.9 million because the county is left with no other choice but to cut back.
The county is not facing any immediate financial cliff but the fund balance reserves are drying up and cuts are needed by the end of this month to be effective.
So to summarize, the county had $650,000 in budget cuts/new revenue needs in September of last year. Instead of making any cuts, they added $483,837 to the budget for 2013 and now we need $1 million in cuts to be made quickly.
It doesn't take a financial analysis or audit to see that we have gone in the wrong direction since September when the officials pledged to get serious about cutting.
We'll say no more in our words. This is from the open letter that the meeting of all the elected officials produced and was presented through Commissioner Jones last September:
"County spending will change next year. You asked for it to be decreased and it will be decreased. County services will not be at it current level next year because cuts will be made. My understanding from the comments made to me over the past few weeks are that we are willing to spend a little more time in line to pay our property taxes and we are willing to wait a few more days for a building inspector if that means our property taxes don't increase. I and the rest of your elected officials will make those cuts and we will make them as a team."

A Righteous Red '66 F-100 That Makes the Rounds
Ted Quinn lives in Ontario, Canada, in the summer, in Arizona in the winter, and drives his 1966 Ford F-100 year-round, all over the place. The truck came out of a farm-machine repair yard in Phoenix, but it wasn't the one that first caught his eye. That one was a 1939 Ford. After inquiring if the early truck was for sale, he was rudely informed that it wasn't, and to get lost. After three years of watching the truck sit neglected, Ted took a deep breath and went back, asked again and got the same answer. This time, however, a woman working there led him to a red 1966 in the machine yard that might be for sale.
The same man who had kicked Ted out three years earlier told him that he would have to get in touch with the truck's owner. Using the old principle of repaying crankiness with kindness, Ted promised the man that if he got the truck, he would buy him a bottle of whiskey. "Not whiskey!" the man snapped back. "Tequila!"
"I finally reached the owner, who said the truck was for sale," Ted said. After a volley of "What do you want for it" and "Make me an offer" exchanges, Ted threw out an amount: $500. That was a little light, the owner told him, and anyway someone else was interested—call back in a couple days.
A couple days later, the owner told Ted that he'd forgotten to call the other man. "Well, I guess you're selling it to me then," Ted answered. The owner said, "Not for $500," but still insisted on an offer. Ted tried again. "How about $750?" "You got it!"
Ted was relieved to have that business over with, but he still had to get the truck out of the farmyard—which meant dealing with the cranky man. "This time, he greeted me with a smile and couldn't do enough to help me, knowing that he had a little gift coming."
When Ted got the truck home, he drove it for a while, but didn't like the way it ran. The options were to sell it or rebuild it. Lucky for us, he decided on the second option—and with no shortcuts. That meant taking apart the whole truck to get at the project section by section, starting with the chassis. The factory F-100 frame has been kept in place, but was treated to all new suspension parts, including front and rear RideTech airbags and Monroe shocks. A four-link situates the original 9-inch rearend, and a Scott's IFS system was mounted in the front, The result is a full-speed-ahead stance, but when it's time to stop, Wilwood 13-inch discs at every corner make it happen quickly.
Ted was relieved to have that business over with, but he still had to get the truck out of the farmyard—which meant dealing with the cranky man.
A lot of work went into restoring the exterior, with Mike Roy stepping in to help with bodywork. The sheetmetal was stripped of all decorative trim pieces, as well as locks and door handles. Replacement front fenders were installed, and stainless custom inner wheelwells were added to dress up the engine compartment. The front was freshened up with a new chromed grille assembly and bumper. The doors got new hinges and bear claw latches, along with power windows.
The custom bed and tailgate are from Pro's Pick. The rear license plate was frenched into the roll pan, and a pair of '50 Pontiac taillights with LED lenses were frenched into the rear fenders. Ted installed the oak floor in the bed, where a Moon fuel tank was lettered with the name of the pickup: Simply Red. After the truck had been reassembled, it was turned over to John Morris in Sutton, Ontario, for paint, and came out of the booth finished in PPG Hot Red. Completing the exterior impression of Ted's F-100 is a set of SLG60 five-spokes from Billet Specialties. Michelin blackwall radial tires were mounted on the 17-inch wheels.
The mirror finish on the inner wheelwells and the underside of the hood brightens and reflects the impressive engine compartment. There's a Ford in this F-100, but it's nothing ordinary. With horsepower in the 440 range and torque right there at 410 lb-ft, the Roush Engines' fuel-injected 302ci crate engine is all business, but manages to keep up in the looks department as well. The Roush oval air cleaner cover and aluminum valve covers, plus a serpentine belt setup from Billet Specialties, add to the eye appeal. The ear appeal is handled by an exhaust combination of Flowmaster headers and Hushpower mufflers. The Gearstar AOD Level 3 transmission and torque converter can handle the horsepower (and more), and is operated by a Lokar shifter.
Now that the rest of Ted's F-100 had its farmyard flavor replaced by street rod styling, it was time to apply the same to the interior. At Complete Upholstery in Beaverton, Ontario, Brian Locke modified a set of buckets from an '04 Mustang to fit inside the cab, and then re-covered them in paint-matching red synthetic leather. Ted's wife, Susan, stitched the stylized Q monogram into the upper seatbacks. The rest of the interior was saturated in red, contrasted by the polished aluminum Flaming River steering column and the spokes of the Chicayne wheel from Billet Specialties. The dash was filled with gauges from Auto Meter's American Muscle line, in addition to the controls for the air suspension and Vintage Air Gen II Compac A/C system.
By the time Ted had the '66 F-100 back on the road, eight years had slipped by and his build budget had grown to 100 times the original purchase price. That's a lot of tequila, but the results demonstrate the value of the investment. So does Ted's collection of show awards including one from the Goodguys Spring Nats in Scottsdale, another from the F-100 Supernationals in Pigeon Forge, and several Participants' Choice and People's Choice picks from various events where he's shown off Simply Red.

Vim, like many open source projects, is distributed with the aid of the
Concurrent Versioning System
(CVS). CVS allows developers to maintain a single, controlled source
tree with multiple check-outs of individual files.
If you don't know how to use CVS, you'll probably want to look at the
official guides. It's a
powerful, but complicated piece of software.
You can browse the CVS online at SourceForge. This shows the most recent version of the files, both the released version "vim" and the development version "vim7". You can view diffs to find out what the latest changes are.
Documentation on accessing it via pserver or ssh can be found on the
SourceForge project page.
SourceForge sometimes has problems with the CVS server.
You might want to use
Subversion instead.
These are the simple instructions how to obtain the Vim files through CVS.
Use this when you have a reasonable fast internet connection and want to
compile Vim yourself.
It should work well on any system that supports CVS.
Note: The CVS repository is regularly, but not
immediately. Vim's CVS repository may be a few days behind the head of
development. For information on patching Vim with the most up-to-date
patches, consult the information on
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot/vim checkout vim7
This will create the "vim7" directory and download all the Vim files and
subdirectories into it. When you are behind a firewall,
you may need to open up port 2401. It probably doesn't work with a proxy.
Read the "vim7/README.txt" file for how to compile Vim.
For Unix it's simply "cd vim7/src; make".
cvs -z3 update
You will get messages for all directories that are inspected and files that are
being updated.
The detailed explanation can be found
Please report problems to Bram AT a-a-p.org.

Although Friday's launch of the iPhone 3G is grabbing all the headlines, there's no need to put the
With the iPhone 2.0 software update, the first iPhone is getting another day in the sun, and it's a nice toasty sunshine at that. Although Apple has yet to release the update officially--it should happen Friday as well--the software became available on Thursday through the magic of the Internet.
As we reported during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference last month, the 2.0 software update adds a number of important features to the original iPhone, including Microsoft Exchange server support and access to the App Store. After installing the new iTunes 7.7 (available for Windows and Mac) update on our PC, we downloaded the update and installed it on our phone. Here's what we found.
Download process
At the moment, the downloading process is a bit convoluted, though that experience will change, once Apple releases the software update officially. But once we started the process of installing it on our iPhone, it proceeded successfully without any hiccups.
The whole process took about 10 minutes from start to finish. Since the iPhone treats the update as a system restore, it will erase any saved information. Fortunately, iTunes creates a one-time media backup of your files. Although some users have reported that iTunes failed to create a backup file for them, we didn't have any problems.
Exchange server support
One of the most coveted additions is the full support for Microsoft Exchange server. Adding an account was ridiculously easy, once we had the correct settings from our IT department.
Once you've chosen to add a new e-mail account in the main Settings menu, you'll be taken to the standard list of available e-mail systems. "Microsoft Exchange" and
The authentication process took just a couple of minutes, and we were up and running fairly quickly. Installing CNET's security certificate posed a bit of a challenge--we ended up mailing it to ourselves through Yahoo--but we installed it eventually.
Once you're ready to go, it will sync your Outlook e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Be advised that the iPhone can sync only with one calendar or contacts list at a time. If you have a separate personal calendar, your work calendar will replace it, once you start the sync (you'll be notified before it happens).
As an alternative, though, you can sync e-mail without syncing your contacts and calendar. Also, you can keep work and personal e-mail accounts open at the same time. You'll just have to switch between the two.
When using Wi-Fi, the syncing was very quick most of the time. As new messages came in, the iPhone registered them almost immediately. It seemed to get bogged down when we received a large clump of messages at one time. In those cases, we had to update the phone manually.
By and large, those updates were quick, but there was at least one instance where it took a couple of minutes. In fact, it was so long that we thought that the phone had frozen. We also noticed that if the iPhone loses its Wi-Fi connection, the syncing is interrupted. But even with these caveats, the experience was satisfactory. Syncing via EDGE took a few seconds longer, but it wasn't too bothersome.
When we deleted a message on our phone, the same e-mail vanished on our PC just a couple of seconds later. Messages deleted on the PC took longer to disappear from the phone; typically, we had to do a manual update to see them gone. Messages deleted on the phone will show up in your PC's Recycle Bin and vice versa.
You can access all folders in your in-box and move messages from your in-box to a specific folder. You can't search for messages, but you can call a contact if they include their phone number in their e-mail. Opening attachments worked as promised, and we like how the software update now lets you save attached images directly to your photo gallery simply by tapping the image. To e-mail photos, you will need to do so in the traditional manner by opening the photo, selecting the e-mail option, and choosing which account you'd like to send from.
Though according to
Third-party applications
Once the software update installed, an icon for the App Store appeared on our iPhone's home screen. When selected, you're taken to the Apps Store main menu, which somewhat resembles the mobile iTunes store in design. You search applications by name and category and you can browse through the lists of Featured applications or the Top 25. There also is a feature for seeing if your purchased applications have any updates.
We purchased two applications from the iPhone: AP Mobile News and a currency rates application. Downloads over Wi-Fi were pretty quick; it took just about 10 seconds total. Though wireless iTunes song downloads are available only through a Wi-Fi connection, you can purchase applications over EDGE. Just keep in mind that downloads will take a lot longer.
We also purchased applications through the online
What's most remarkable about the online applications store is the sheer breadth of titles available. As of this writing, there are 27 pages available in a staggering range of categories. If there is one thing about the software update that changes the original iPhone for the better, it's the Apps Store--even if not all the applications are keepers. Of course, before you get carried away, remember that some apps are free but others will cost you.
Contacts search
A search bar now appears above your contacts list. Typing in any portion of the same will take you immediately to that person. The software update also added a special Contacts to the home screen, which is something we weren't expecting.
iWork documents and PowerPoint
We haven't tried iWork documents just yet, but we were able to view PowerPoint e-mail attachments. The attachment was rather large (1.3MB) but it didn't take very long to download.
Bulk delete and move
This works in your e-mail boxes only. In your in-box you'll see a small "edit" button at the top right-hand corner. When you press the button a small circle will appear next to each e-mail. Touch the circle to highlight as many messages as you like and then select the "delete" or "move" options.
Scientific calculator
As Steve Jobs said in his WWDC keynote, you'll now get a scientific calculator when you turn the phone on its side. You'll see a lot more buttons that will set a mathematician's heart aflutter. Jobs said a lot of people asked for this but again, I'd like to know who they are.
Parental controls
You now will find a "Restrictions" selection under the General tab of the main Settings menu. There you can restrict access to the Safari browser, explicit songs, YouTube, and the iTunes and iTunes Apps stores. You can select as many restrictions as you like.
Language support
The software update will brings language support and typing keyboards in French, Canadian French, UK English, German, Japanese (QWERTY and Kana), Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, and Polish. You can select as many languages you want by opening the "International" selection under the General tab of the main Settings menu. For Chinese you choose from Pinyin or a graffiti-style application for writing characters. As you enter characters, suggestions will appear to the right. To change between menus, choose from the small globe icon next to the space bar.
As the iPhone Atlas reports, the 2.0 software update also brings GPS tracking. We tested both while walking in downtown San Francisco and riding in a taxi. Considering that the tracking is relying solely on cellular towers and Wi-Fi hot spots, it was pleasantly accurate. When walking we could see the little bull's-eye moving along with us. Not surprisingly, the tracking was a bit off when we were in a car. The bull's-eye jumped block by block as we came to stoplights. On the whole it works well, but it's no replacement for a standalone GPS system. Also, remember that while you can get directions through Google Maps, the iPhone does not support real-time turn-by-turn directions.
What we didn't get
As we've told you already, the software update didn't give us a lot of things we were hoping for. But if you'd like to see the list again, Nicole Lee has the details.
That's it for now, but check back tomorrow as we divulge into more details on the software update and delve into our full review of the iPhone 3G.

Biographical/Historical note
Aliciam began as the honorary, literary society of Saint Rose in December 1930. The members named the club, Aliciam, as a tribute to an English woman poet, essayist, and critic. This woman was Alice Meynell, one of the first popular woman poets. Mr. Wilfrid Meynell, her husband, became the first member of Aliciam.
The club was for those majoring or minoring in English, and an average of over 85 was required to join. There were monthly meetings in which the members read and discussed outstanding poetry. Each member had to present one long critical paper within the year. In the early 1950's there was a slight change to include more genres of literature, rather than concentrating completely on poetry. They ceased writing papers and, instead, showed literary films and put on plays. The group collected signatures of famous authors and poets.
The first officers were Monica Branigan-president, Helen Welsh-vice president, Nan Maginn-secretary, and Helen Wheeler-treasurer. Sister John Joseph Moran started Aliciam, and administered it until she retired. Sister Jeanne Pierre Mittnight took charge and changed the name to The Literary Society in 1966. In 1977 she dissolved it because there was no longer an interest in departmental clubs.

FileZilla Transfer Speed Display, FileZilla FTP Not Showing Transfer Speeds
Tonight I was downloading some packages from a community FTP server I am a member of and noticed that the transfer speeds were not showing after I started to process the FileZilla FTP transfer queue. Initially I figured I must have unchecked a toolbar or accidentally modified a view setting without knowing it. After reviewing the FileZilla configuration I couldn't find anything that specified the display of the transfer speeds. Below I show FileZilla when it is not displaying the transfer speeds when it is in the middle processing a queue, what steps I took to resolve the issue, and last but not least what FileZilla should display when it is processing files from the transfer queue.

International judges elect Bradley to serve as North American delegate
Madison, Wisconsin - May 10, 2012
Justice Ann Walsh Bradley (center) meets with the board of directors of the International Association of Women Judges in London. Front and center in the photo are Judge Eusebia Nicholas Munuo of the Court of Appeals in Tanzania (that nation's highest court) and Lady Brenda Hale, a justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
The International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ), a non-profit organization with 4,000 members from 103 nations around the world, has elected Justice Ann Walsh Bradley to its board of directors. Bradley will represent the North American region, which is comprised of the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The election took place in London during the IAWJ Biennial International Conference. Joining Bradley on the board of directors are judges representing Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and the South Pacific.
"The IAWJ does extraordinary work across the globe on a broad range of issues related to human rights and access to justice," Bradley said. "I have been privileged to work with this group and I am honored and delighted to have been selected for this leadership role."
The IAWJ trains judges around the world on issues related to domestic violence, human trafficking, property rights and HIV/AIDS and other topics that affect women and families. The organization also helps to encourage women to seek judgeships. IAWJ meets biennially, bringing together women judges on every continent. The next meeting will be held in Tanzania.
Bradley was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 1995 and re-elected in 2005. Prior to joining the Supreme Court, she served for 10 years in Marathon County Circuit Court. Bradley has been active in a number of national and international organizations related to the justice system. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Judicial Academy and has served as a lecturer for both the Academy and the American Bar Association's Asia Law Initiative. She is also an elected member of the American Law Institute and serves on the Federal-State Judicial Council. She formerly served as a commissioner of the National Conference on Uniform Laws and as chair of the Wisconsin Rhodes Scholarship Committee.

I took Inara for a nice long walk yesterday (3, 3 1/2 miles?) on her walking harness, so she pulled the whole way. She was beat - it was lovely! Anyway, when I got home I noticed her nibbling on her back foot. I looked at it figuring she had probably torn a paw pad from pulling on the cement. But it actually looked like the toenail on her outside toe had rubbed the inside of the toe next to it so it was all red and irritated. Very ouchy looking. It looks a bit better this morning but still looks ouchy. She's not limping, and she's not bothering it too much - just some licking/nibbling here and there.
This hasn't happened before. Do you think it's because she was pulling so hard on her walk? How can I keep it from happening again? Her toenails are actually nice and short, especially after last night's walk, so it's not that. I don't think a bootie would help because it's the side of her toe, not the bottom. Thoughts?

Los Angeles — To meet strategic challenges facing Head Start professionals, UCLA Anderson and the Los Angeles County Office of Education have launched an innovative training program designed to provide core management tools to those entrusted with ensuring school-readiness of Los Angeles County children.
The UCLA/LACOE Head Start Leadership Institute, which begins on Saturday, July 7 and continues for the next six months, will give Head Start professionals the foundation for managerial and entrepreneurial competence in areas ranging from operations to profit management, said Alfred E. Osborne Jr., director of UCLA Anderson's Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies.
Funded by LACOE, the Institute will provide training for five-member management teams from 10 Head Start agencies, which oversee nearly 159 Head Start sites serving 8,314 children throughout Los Angeles County. Communities represented range from the San Fernando Valley to the north, Pomona to the east, the Harbor area to the south and Los Angeles and Inglewood to the west.
"This program is about giving all of our children the best possible head start by empowering those entrusted with the early development of tomorrow's adults," said Osborne, who serves as the Institute's director. "We are instilling Head Start professionals with the tools to become social entrepreneurs to meet their changing needs — whether that means finding suitable facilities, raising funds, providing training and development for staff, or marketing their programs. We are producing socially desirable outcomes for children and their families"
The training is taught by the same award-winning faculty who teach UCLA Anderson's top-ranked MBA program as well as experts in the fields of public policy and early childhood education.
Participants in the UCLA/LACOE Head Start Leadership Institute will engage in opening and closing retreats along with eight all-day classroom sessions, meeting about once a month through February. Topics include organization and strategy, management theory and practice, systems thinking, marketing, and finance and accounting. In addition to a custom-tailored curriculum of lectures, participants also engage in group strategy sessions, applied workshops, case discussions, and networking opportunities.
One of the key components of the program is a Leadership Improvement Project. Designed to address specific issues within each agency, the project is a blueprint for action that uses the skills and knowledge a participant has gained in the program to make significant changes within his or her agency.
The 10 agencies selected include: Bassett Unified School District in La Puente, Bellflower Unified School District in Bellflower, Inglewood Unified School district in Inglewood, Pomona Unified School District-Child Development Programs in Pomona, the Child Care Resource Center in Van Nuys, the Federation of Preschool and Community Education Centers, Inc. in Carson, the Foundation for Early Childhood Education, Inc. in Los Angeles, the Latin American Civic Association in San Fernando, Plaza de la Raza Head Start, Inc. in City of Commerce, and Volunteers of America Head Start in North Hollywood.
The program is based upon the highly successful Head Start - Johnson & Johnson Management Fellows Program, conducted by UCLA Anderson for the past 10 years, which has reached more than 650 Head Start directors nationwide.

*You can unsubscribe at any time, and we won't share your info with anyone, this is just for you.
For most people, it is the first time that they actually allow themselves to receive without obligation and consideration. This is an incredibly nurturing and relaxing process, undoing limitation in all aspects of your life that you are willing to change.
Everyone is different so there is no "normal" Access Bars session. Every session will be different, every time, even if you repeat with the same person.
What is most often reported is that there is sense of complete relaxation and many people go to sleep – even in a very noisy environment. Some people have images come to them, others feel sensations in their body such as buzzing, tingling, warmth, twitches or shivers.
People report many different effects. Receiving Access Bars begins to undo limitations at their source by undoing the unconsciousness that creates limitations. At worst, receiving a session will leave you feeling like you had a great massage; at best, your whole life may change.
Access Bars has already assisted thousands of people to change many aspects of their body and their life including sleep, health and weight, money, sex and relationships, anxiety, stress and more. It is the very core of Access Consciousness and it can be something that will assist you in creating greater ease with everything.
The best way to find out what Access Bars can be and do for you is to try it yourself!
I found Bars through a business coach. After my first session I remember walking out and going, "I'm home! I found it.. this is going to work for me." I just knew it.Za
As there is no special equipment or environment needed, many staff, employees and employers have found Access Bars to be of great contribution to the work place for reducing stress, increasing productivity and general enthusiasm, problem solving, creativity with projects, and improving team work just to name a few things.
Receiving is not done on this planet. Doing, doing, doing in order to make sure you don't have to receive is how most people live their life. This has to change. You have to be willing to receive if you are going to have the life you truly desire.Gary Douglas

Risks and benefits of colonoscopy for elderly patients
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I would like information concerning the risk/benefits of colonoscopy for elderly patients (>80 yrs). Does the risk of bowel perforation increase with the patient's age? When do the risks of the complications outweigh the benefits that might be derived? What if the patient is not in a high colon cancer risk group? Are there any less invasive screening procedures that provide similar information?
Timothy Hoops, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
You have a lot of difficult questions that don't have a lot of data that would support good answers. The quoted risks for perforation vary from 3/1000 to 1/8000, but 3/10,000 is probably a good number. There is no data to suggest that this risk increases with age, although we often worry that these older patients may be at a higher risk with weaker tissues, other diseases and other problems that could worsen the potential outcome. Should 80 year olds be screened? The reason for screening is to prevent future cancers and to diagnose current ones. The projected life span of an 80-year-old person is obviously less than a person who is 60. However, they are at the highest risk for colon cancer. In general, if they are relatively healthy and could tolerate treatment such surgery if a cancer were found, a screening exam may be worthwhile. You would find many opinions on this, however. The higher the pretest risk, the stronger the case for doing the study.
At this point, the "virtual" colonoscopies, either CT or MRI, are not developed enough that they are easily available to patients. However, in the future, these may be very useful as they are safer and are quite good at detecting cancers and large polyps. If these were found, a true colonoscopy could then be performed if desired.

Our monthly menus are carefully planned by a team of professional Chefs. With culinary expertise, scientific understanding, and a progressive menu strategy, our school meals offer a variety of healthy, great-tasting, and creative food choices. Our menus are tailored to always provide nutrient rich options that students of all ages and backgrounds will love. Balanced meal selections meet precise nutrition standards which meet and many times exceed USDA standards. We make certain that K-12 students are offered a variety of smart choices such as the following:
Seeing students succeed in school is what drives our passion to serve high-quality meals that will feed growing children and a student's mind to achieve academic success.
SchoolFood has developed a collection of over 130 recipes for healthy, child friendly, and simply delicious fare - main dishes, side dishes, and sauces. Our team of Culinary Professionals tryout, adjust, and retest a recipe concept several times before it is published to guarantee that the diverse pallets and requests of the 1.1 million NYC students in over 1,700 schools are met.
Our comprehensive recipes incorporate formulas to produce significant quantities expected in an institutional food service program – recipes are scaled to produce yields that range from 18 to over 250. They are sensibly developed to assure that our cooks, production, and preparation teams across the City can easily learn the recipes and produce high-quality meals. As a result, our staff members grow into confident Cooks because the recipes eliminate guesswork and certify that a large quantity of meals will turn out as it was intended. In other words, every time the recipe is prepared, the same food product is produced—in taste, yield, serving size, nutritional value, and student satisfaction.
Our goal is to always serve healthy food and maintain high nutritional standards while offering delicious and satisfying menu choices.
Kid-Friendly Kale Salad
After surveying a number of students, we've compiled a list of NYC students' favorite SchoolFood recipes. The Kid-Friendly Kale Salad was voted a FAVORITE! We don't disagree; the blend of unique kale, dressing and fruit gives this salad a very fresh and seasonal taste. View the recipe and give it a try!
SchoolFood's works closely with the food industry - food processors, manufacturers, and distributors, to develop products that meet the USDA Standards for School Meals and the New York City Food Standards. Click here to view our current list of prohibited ingredients.
Developing food products that stand up to the mandated requirements while remaining superior in taste, requires creativity and customization. Therefore, we invest a considerable amount of time in product conversion; reformulating food items to guarantee that our product line enables us to create citywide menus that are specific to the various school divisions, support recipe development, offer balanced choices, and meet the needs of our students.
NYC students play an integral part in helping SchoolFood select our product line. All new and reformulated products are tested and rated by our students. If a product does not meet their satisfaction, it is not approved. SchoolFood remains committed to the K-12 segment and to developing and sourcing quality products for healthier children.
Locally produced foods support self-reliant food economies- one in which sustainable food production, processing, distribution, and consumption is integrated to enhance the economic, environmental and social health of that area.
SchoolFood proudly supports New York State products. To learn more about the local farms and food products used in NYC schools click on the videos below.

Dairy Farms
SchoolFood offers an array of branded food products in our food service program. Our ultimate goal is to improve student nutrition while meeting the nutritional guidelines set by the USDA. Our branded products are healthier alternatives of popular items that children enjoy eating.
In an effort to improve the health and wellness of New York City students, the Department of Education and the Office of SchoolFood upholds the New York City Food Standards. Our goal is to provide students and the overall school environment with healthy snacking options.
The New York City Department of Education snack and beverage standards for products sold in schools pertain to all items offered in: adult and student vending machines, school stores, student clubs, and all school based fundraising events.
Snack and beverage vendors can only supply products that support the established guidelines. To ensure that we promote and encourage healthier lifestyles, the vended agreements specifically indicate that vending machines are only in operation when meal service is not in session throughout the school day.

MILWAUKEE � So much for using the preseason to get Al Jefferson established as the Charlotte Bobcats� center. Jefferson sprained his right ankle against the Miami Heat on Friday night and is now hoping to return in time for the Bobcats� regular-season opener.
�I'm going to do my best to be back for opening night,� Jefferson said before the Bobcats played the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. �I'm going to take it one day at a time and go through the process. I've sprained my ankle so many times, I just know how it goes.�
The Bobcats� key offseason acquisition was injured contesting Chris Bosh's shot in the third quarter of Charlotte's 86-75 loss to the Heat at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. He limped into the Bradley Center on Saturday using crutches and wearing a walking boot. He'll wear the boot for several days before the ankle is re-evaluated. X-rays taken at the Sprint Center were negative.
�Obviously, it's not ideal, but it's part of being on a team,� Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said. �It changes a little bit in terms of our master plan in terms of how we would implement offense, the order we would go. We'd been spending a lot of time obviously on the post-up aspect of it.�
Jefferson had 11 points, seven rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes against the Heat. The Bobcats start their season on the road Oct. 30 at Houston before returning to Charlotte Nov. 1 for the home opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jefferson has appeared in 628 career games with the Boston Celtics, Minnesota Timberwolves and the Utah Jazz.
