Penn State Football: Longevity makes Ty Howle prepared for full-season at center

Posted on by

STATE COLLEGE -- Like a fall ago, Ty Howle expects to short-snap for placement kicks when Penn State opens its season this August at MetLife Stadium against Syracuse. It's during regular offensive series that the fifth-year senior will line up in a different spot.

Howle rotated between guard spots for much of the 2012 season,occasionallyseeing work at center when the now graduated Matt Stankiewitch was not in the game.

Those times were few and far between, though. But that doesn't mean Howle is completely inexperienced at the spot, and that's a plus, as he will be called on to fill the big shoes Stankiewitch left behind this fall.

"I'm going to come in and play aggressive, and give it everything I have every game," Howle said.

"Like a lot of guys in this senior class now, we only have one more season left. We're trying to make it the best we can, and start fast and get it going."

The move to guard under head coach Bill O'Brien was the first time Howle says he has moved away from the center position. having learned it inside and out from a tenure in the middle that began in middle school and carried right through high school and his first three seasons at University Park.

Longevity often gives one a huge advantage in any particular field, and Howle sees it no differently on the field in which he operates. He noted that he already knows how to handle the checks and calls of O'Brien's system, and of course has perfected the art of snapping, as well.

An extra layer of comfort can be found in the fact that this is his second year under line coach Mac McWhorter's guide and O'Brien's scheme, but the senior was also quick to note that, unlike many of the skill players, his and the lines transition from the late Joe Paterno's offensive attack to O'Brien's was not too difficult.

It's a point worth making, considering Howle spent the first three games of 2012, plus summer camp, on the mend with an arm injury that he suffered shortly before camp kicked-off that kept him in a sling in the early-goings.

"It wasn't too much of a transition. Everything ... you can skin a cat a thousand ways, and we have done this our whole college careers," he explained.

Student chefs will battle it out this Saturday for the title of Iron Chef PSU in the fifth annual Iron Chef Competition .

The event is free and open to public and will run from 1:30 to 4 p.m. It will be held in the Hintz Family Alumni Center, although the actual cooking will take place in the Henderson Building. A live video feed will be shown in the family center for the public to watch while the chefs compete.

The chefs will work as teams to create multiple dishes in hopes of impressing the judges. This year, a total of nine teams have entered into the competition.

Before being allowed to compete, each team had to raise at least $100 to be donated to the State College Area Food Bank .

The teams will be given one hour to create multiple dishes for the judges. The food will be judged on taste, appearance and overall creativity.

The chefs are also required to incorporate a secret ingredient into each dish that will be given to them at the start of the competition, Wendy Stein (graduate student- nutrition) said.

It will be a fun experience to watch the different chefs cook with the unique ingredient, she said.

The event is sponsored by the Nutrition Graduate Student Association, which first organized the competition in 2008.

Maureen Spill , former president of NGSA, was the brains behind the operation at the time.

Mason school official talks nutrition with legislators

Posted on by

Mason City Schools Child Nutrition Supervisor Tamara Earl, SNS, recently joined 1,000 school nutrition professionals from across the country at the School Nutrition Associations 41st annual Legislative Action Conference in Washington, D.C.

Earl, vice president of the School Nutrition Association of Ohio since August, attended the conference to ensure Ohio has a voice at the national conference.

During the conference, Earl joined colleagues in discussing new nutrition standards for school meals and proposed regulations for foods sold in school vending machines, a la carte lines and snack bars. LACs Charge to the Hill allowed attendees to meet with members of Congress to discuss these topics and urge their support for school meal programs, which serve nearly 32 million students each school day. Partnered with Louise Easterly, Kettering Food Service Supervisor, and Dave Hackman and Carole Erb of JTM Foods, Earl met with representatives of Steve Chabots (District 1), Joyce Beattys (District 3) and Bill Johnsons (District 6) offices.

The conference came at a critical time as school cafeterias continue to implement new nutrition standards for school meals, which require more whole grains, fruits and vegetables and less sodium and calories on student lunch trays.

With Congress weighing new budget cuts and the U.S. Department of Agriculture drafting additional regulations for school cafeterias, it is critical for our leaders to hear directly from the experts in school nutrition on the importance of school meal programs to the health, well-being and academic success of Americas students, said School Nutrition Association President Sandra Ford, SNS.

Q: How long have you served as vice president of SNA? What do you do in that role?

A: I was elected last year and assumed the office on Aug. 1, 2013. I will serve this year and succeed to the office of president-elect on Aug. 1, 2014, and then president and president-elect.

In the role of vice president, I participated in the Legislative Action Conference sponsored by the national School Nutrition Association. I also recently chaired an Industry Seminar for members; industry participants included food manufacturers, equipment, and food distributors that support the needs of school food service. With the implementation of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act that reauthorized the National School Lunch Program, manufacturers continue to respond with reformulated products and it is essential for those in school food service to remain informed.

Q: What was the purpose of the conference?

A: The National School Lunch program is the largest of the federal child nutrition programs serving more than 31.6 million students per day. The School Nutrition Association is dedicated to protecting and enhancing childrens health and well-being through school meals and nutrition education. The Legislative Action Conference is an opportunity for us in the business to have a voice with congressional representatives regarding the impact of legislation on our programs.

Beauty Innovations – The Latest Anti-Aging Procedures

Posted on by

A recent article in New Beauty magazine highlights several recently introduced anti-aging innovations. Dr. Simon Ourian of Epione Beverly Hills says hed like to see more data showing the effectiveness of these devices.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 09, 2013

I like to think that I work on the cutting edge of aesthetic medicine, but in truth I will always wait for sufficient data to be collected before I introduce new devices or products to my patients, says Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. The innovations discussed in the article are interesting but Im not ready to add them to my practice just yet.

Until now, dermal fillers have only been administered with needle injections. According to the manufacturers of a new device this makes the patient more susceptible to swelling and bruising. Using pressure driven by CO2 this device allows the doctor to easily control the flow of the treatment and more accurately place fillers.

Another new device on the market allows doctors to determine a patients skin type in order to gauge how they will respond to laser treatment. Armed with that information, lasers can be calibrated to the proper parameters to ensure safe and successful treatments. The device factors in skin tone, melanin levels, and sun exposure to make a determination of skin type and thereby minimizing the risk for complications and improving the efficacy of the treatments.

Finally, a new anti-acne pill is said to eliminate the need for eating fatty foods to improve its absorption by the body. The pill is available by prescription only and is best suited to mitigate symptoms of extreme acne.

Im glad to see that the article made note of that the anti-acne pill may have significant side effects, says Dr. Ourian. Its important for patients to know these risks before they start any drug regimen.

Dr. Ourian has been a pioneer in laser technology and non-invasive aesthetic procedures including Restylane, Juvderm, Radiesse and Sculptra. These treatments are used for the correction or reversal of a variety of conditions such as acne, acne scars, skin discoloration, wrinkles, stretch marks, varicose veins, cellulite, and others. More information about new anti-aging treatments can be found on Epiones website.

New Enhancements to CBORD's NetNutrition(R) Support QR Code Access to Nutrition and Allergen Information

Posted on by

ITHACA, N.Y., April 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CBORD(R), the leading provider of food and nutrition management, cashless card, and integrated security software solutions, today announces new enhancements to NetNutrition(R) that support QR code access to nutrition and allergen information.

NetNutrition Easily Displays Nutrition Labels for Menu Items on Mobile Devices

CBORD's NetNutrition is an online software solution that lets customers view menu offerings, identify possible allergens or food intolerances, select diet preferences (e.g. vegan, kosher, sustainable), and analyze the nutritional content of meals. This latest enhancement gives customers the ability to scan QR codes to immediately view nutrition labels for specific items or directly access menus within NetNutrition.

QR codes can be placed on labels for pre-packaged items or on signage in dining locations. Codes posted throughout a food court or cafe can link the customer to the daily menu, along with an interactive nutritional calculator and allergen filter. NetNutrition's support of QR codes makes it simple for customers to plan and build their meals from the convenience of their mobile devices. Any changes to ingredients, recipes, or menus will be reflected in NetNutrition without needing to edit or replace the QR codes.

With NetNutrition, providing access to nutritional information has never been easier or more accurate. "We hear this time and again," explains Kate Hill, Product Director for CBORD, "that food service professionals need easy, convenient, and creative ways to display and promote nutrition information in dining areas. With NetNutrition, customers have the power to make informed, healthy decisions about the food they buy and eat."

Fully integrated with CBORD's Foodservice Suite(R) and NetMenu(R) software applications, NetNutrition automatically updates as it is powered by existing menu data. Most recently, the introduction of NetNutrition(R) Cloud(TM) makes the same capabilities available without the need for a premise-based application.
