How Your Thin Mints are Destroying the Rainforest: Two Girl Scouts Speak Out After learning that their beloved cookies played a role in makes the animals endangered, they launched a grassroots effort—complete with letter writing and presentations—to make Girl Scouts USA ditch dirty palm oil in favor of a more sustainable ingredient such as canola or sunflower oil. When their efforts fell on deaf ears, the girls took their campaign one step further, and last week announced a partnership with the Rainforest Action Network to amplify their case. Already, the girls have had some key successes. Earlier this month, Kellogg—one of the major producers of the cookies—announced it would start purchasing GreenPalm certificates to cover the entirety of its palm oil usage. And the U.K. version of Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, has made the move to eliminate palm oil from its products, and offered its support in making the same happen in the states. The organization’s listed commitments to address the issue are also vague at best, including missives to “use as little as possible” of the product and “continue to search for viable alternatives.” The company likely hopes the issue will simply disappear.

Gov. Cuomo will approve a budget this week that at this moment includes drastic cuts for homeless youth services -- cuts that will slash funding to state homeless shelters by more than half, and force thousands of kids out of shelter beds and onto the streets of New York. That includes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) young adults, who make up close to one-third of New York City’s homeless youth population. Gov. Cuomo’s cuts will hit these LGBT youth hard – kids who already have too few places to turn to for help, who have been rejected by their families, forced to flee homophobic foster homes, or who have experienced institutionalized homophobia from social service providers. Time is running out, but we can still put pressure on Gov. Cuomo to reinstate funding for youth homeless services.

PHOENIX — Arizona’s Medicaid program, criticized last year when it halted some organ transplants to save money, has come up with another cost-saving measure that has people talking. Arizona’sHealth Care Cost Containment Systemhas proposed charging smokers $50 a year and applying a similar fee to diabetes patients. “This is an annual fee that says to consumers, ‘Hey, we’re not going to prevent you fromsmoking, but you have to put a little bit more into the system because it costs us more. As for being overweight, Ms. Coury said the cash-strapped agency would not be weighing people and slapping a fine on those carrying extra pounds. “We care if you are doing something you should be doing to manage your disease. ”Financing for the organ transplants was reinstated in a budget approved by the Arizona House this week. But officials said that other measures would be necessary to keep services running.

How Will the New USDA Guidelines Improve School Lunch The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) proclaimed it will get better nutritional standards for the National School Lunch and Breakfast program, for the first time in 15 years. This is part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, signed into law earlier this year by President Obama. Instead of the high-fat, high-salt and starchy foods served in schools, the Act aims to get children eating something that at least represents current nutritional standards. With the improved guidelines, kids in school can expect to see new items on their trays. For lunch, the greatest change is an increase in fruits and vegetables, to nearly four half-cup servings a week. They also now have a weekly requirement for dark green veggies and legumes. Fat-free and low fat milk will be the norm, expelling whole milk. Sodium and saturated fat levels will be reduced and the new standards allow for flavored milk. The USDA currently requires schools to offer milk with breakfast and lunch. In addition, government-sponsored breakfast can consist of flavored milk partnered with a sugary cereal. The fight over incorporating sugary milk in schools is happening nationwide. The USDA has issued the new school lunch guidelines as a proposed rule and is seeking comments on ways to include dietary recommendations through April 13
On a cold, sunny Tuesday morning, the entrance to Rice High Schoolin Harlem is bustling. Television reporters are milling about, waiting to talk to the school’s current and former basketball coaches about Kemba Walker, the Rice alumnus who will lead the University of Connecticut Huskies in the N.C.A.A.’s Final Four this weekend. The students are excited because a busload of girls from a Catholic school in Brooklyn have arrived for a pre-prom get-to-know-you in the gym. And President Obama is visiting the neighborhood later in the day. According to Stephen Fitzgerald, chairman of the board of directors, Rice needs donors to commit $5 million, spread over five years, to erase a $200,000 deficit and sustain the gap between the cost of educating a student ($10,000) and the tuition ($5,750). Some of that money will be needed to renovate the school’s proposed new home, an elementary school on 130th Street. But this year, the endowment ran out. From a peak of $3 million 10 years ago, it stands at $160,000, all of which has been committed to pending bills. Sister Patricia recently told the students about the school’s plight. One student suggested the school host a dance and charge $10 instead of $5. Another student proposed that the school charge the students $3 a week to have dress-down Fridays. If the school gets the money it needs, it will move to a recently closed elementary school on 130th Street that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York agreed to lease to it. Costs would be lower there. First, Rice needs the money. The hurdles are high. The economy is sluggish, enrollment has dropped 40 percent since 2003 and procrastination seemed to trump long-term planning when it came to the school’s balance sheet. As Rice lingers on the edge, it is clear that neither faith nor family can heal the school’s finances. Rice has had a vacuum of leadership, churning through five heads of school in 10 years before settling last year on Sister Patricia, the first non-Christian Brother to serve in the position. Rice has failed to institutionalize fund-raising and alumni outreach: before the school hired a head of development last fall, the position had been vacant for two years. To many inside Rice who have seen the school threatened with extinction many times before, there is nothing to worry about. “We are used to doing without,” he said with an air of intoxicating calm.
Until February, Nathan and Elisa Bond were about as ordinary a 30-something couple as you could find in Brooklyn. Mr. Bond, 38, was a teacher and an artist; he worked for a real estate broker; their daughter, Sadie, had turned 1 in the fall. The last thing on their minds was cancer. Nathan Bond started having gastrointestinal problems last summer; he figured it might be lactose intolerance. Continuing to treat it even as the symptoms kept getting worse. It wasn’t until Mr. Bond saw a gastrointestinal specialist, at his wife’s insistence, that he had a colonoscopy. On he had Stage 3 rectal cancer. And then, nine days later, Elisa Bond was given a diagnosis of breast cancer. Yet within a week of the diagnosis she learned that the cancer was Stage 4, the most advanced: it had already spread to the liver, pelvic bones and spine. Researchers have long been interested in the role that relationships play in cancer, and vice versa. In 2009, a report in the journal Cancer found that women who suffered a serious illness were seven times as likely to become separated or divorced as men with similar health problems. Who must cope with illness at the same time? Neither Nathan nor Elisa Bond has a family history of cancer, and diagnoses of late-stage cancer before 40 are unusual for anyone let alone two spouses at once. “Our lives are not tragic,” Ms. Bond said. “We’ve always felt blessed and happy. It’s hard to take that away even in the face of something scary and seemingly insurmountable.” Elisa and Nathan both had similar reactions to the dual diagnoses. They didn’t immediately worry about themselves, but both worried about how they could take care of each other.

How Your Thin Mints are Destroying the Rainforest: Two Girl Scouts Speak Out
ResponderEliminarAfter learning that their beloved cookies played a role in makes the animals endangered, they launched a grassroots effort—complete with letter writing and presentations—to make Girl Scouts USA ditch dirty palm oil in favor of a more sustainable ingredient such as canola or sunflower oil. When their efforts fell on deaf ears, the girls took their campaign one step further, and last week announced a partnership with the Rainforest Action Network to amplify their case. Already, the girls have had some key successes. Earlier this month, Kellogg—one of the major producers of the cookies—announced it would start purchasing GreenPalm certificates to cover the entirety of its palm oil usage. And the U.K. version of Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, has made the move to eliminate palm oil from its products, and offered its support in making the same happen in the states. The organization’s listed commitments to address the issue are also vague at best, including missives to “use as little as possible” of the product and “continue to search for viable alternatives.” The company likely hopes the issue will simply disappear.

Gov. Cuomo will approve a budget this week that at this moment includes drastic cuts for homeless youth services -- cuts that will slash funding to state homeless shelters by more than half, and force thousands of kids out of shelter beds and onto the streets of New York. That includes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) young adults, who make up close to one-third of New York City’s homeless youth population. Gov. Cuomo’s cuts will hit these LGBT youth hard – kids who already have too few places to turn to for help, who have been rejected by their families, forced to flee homophobic foster homes, or who have experienced institutionalized homophobia from social service providers. Time is running out, but we can still put pressure on Gov. Cuomo to reinstate funding for youth homeless services.

How Will the New USDA Guidelines Improve School Lunch
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) proclaimed it will get better nutritional standards for the National School Lunch and Breakfast program, for the first time in 15 years. This is part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, signed into law earlier this year by President Obama.
Instead of the high-fat, high-salt and starchy foods served in schools, the Act aims to get children eating something that at least represents current nutritional standards.
With the improved guidelines, kids in school can expect to see new items on their trays. For lunch, the greatest change is an increase in fruits and vegetables, to nearly four half-cup servings a week. They also now have a weekly requirement for dark green veggies and legumes.
Fat-free and low fat milk will be the norm, expelling whole milk. Sodium and saturated fat levels will be reduced and the new standards allow for flavored milk.
The USDA currently requires schools to offer milk with breakfast and lunch. In addition, government-sponsored breakfast can consist of flavored milk partnered with a sugary cereal. The fight over incorporating sugary milk in schools is happening nationwide.
The USDA has issued the new school lunch guidelines as a proposed rule and is seeking comments on ways to include dietary recommendations through April 13
On a cold, sunny Tuesday morning, the entrance to Rice High Schoolin Harlem is bustling. Television reporters are milling about, waiting to talk to the school’s current and former basketball coaches about Kemba Walker, the Rice alumnus who will lead the University of Connecticut Huskies in the N.C.A.A.’s Final Four this weekend. The students are excited because a busload of girls from a Catholic school in Brooklyn have arrived for a pre-prom get-to-know-you in the gym. And President Obama is visiting the neighborhood later in the day.
ResponderEliminarAccording to Stephen Fitzgerald, chairman of the board of directors, Rice needs donors to commit $5 million, spread over five years, to erase a $200,000 deficit and sustain the gap between the cost of educating a student ($10,000) and the tuition ($5,750). Some of that money will be needed to renovate the school’s proposed new home, an elementary school on 130th Street.
But this year, the endowment ran out. From a peak of $3 million 10 years ago, it stands at $160,000, all of which has been committed to pending bills.
Sister Patricia recently told the students about the school’s plight. One student suggested the school host a dance and charge $10 instead of $5. Another student proposed that the school charge the students $3 a week to have dress-down Fridays.
If the school gets the money it needs, it will move to a recently closed elementary school on 130th Street that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York agreed to lease to it. Costs would be lower there.
First, Rice needs the money. The hurdles are high. The economy is sluggish, enrollment has dropped 40 percent since 2003 and procrastination seemed to trump long-term planning when it came to the school’s balance sheet.
As Rice lingers on the edge, it is clear that neither faith nor family can heal the school’s finances. Rice has had a vacuum of leadership, churning through five heads of school in 10 years before settling last year on Sister Patricia, the first non-Christian Brother to serve in the position. Rice has failed to institutionalize fund-raising and alumni outreach: before the school hired a head of development last fall, the position had been vacant for two years.
To many inside Rice who have seen the school threatened with extinction many times before, there is nothing to worry about.
“We are used to doing without,” he said with an air of intoxicating calm.
Until February, Nathan and Elisa Bond were about as ordinary a 30-something couple as you could find in Brooklyn. Mr. Bond, 38, was a teacher and an artist; he worked for a real estate broker; their daughter, Sadie, had turned 1 in the fall. The last thing on their minds was cancer. Nathan Bond started having gastrointestinal problems last summer; he figured it might be lactose intolerance. Continuing to treat it even as the symptoms kept getting worse. It wasn’t until Mr. Bond saw a gastrointestinal specialist, at his wife’s insistence, that he had a colonoscopy. On he had Stage 3 rectal cancer. And then, nine days later, Elisa Bond was given a diagnosis of breast cancer. Yet within a week of the diagnosis she learned that the cancer was Stage 4, the most advanced: it had already spread to the liver, pelvic bones and spine. Researchers have long been interested in the role that relationships play in cancer, and vice versa. In 2009, a report in the journal Cancer found that women who suffered a serious illness were seven times as likely to become separated or divorced as men with similar health problems. Who must cope with illness at the same time? Neither Nathan nor Elisa Bond has a family history of cancer, and diagnoses of late-stage cancer before 40 are unusual for anyone let alone two spouses at once. “Our lives are not tragic,” Ms. Bond said. “We’ve always felt blessed and happy. It’s hard to take that away even in the face of something scary and seemingly insurmountable.” Elisa and Nathan both had similar reactions to the dual diagnoses. They didn’t immediately worry about themselves, but both worried about how they could take care of each other.
