Greetings Coalition Family! We’re Back! Overcoming obstacles is how we are strengthened, as in weight training, the more and greater the resistance the more dramatic the results. So we must not complain, because the greater the trials, the more prepared we are for the challenges we face. Strong spirits makes strong warriors.

Students Can Learn More about Their College Options at the Free Philadelphia National College Fair Arlington, VA –The Philadelphia National College Fair will be held Sunday,
November 15, 2009 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA from
11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Sponsored by the National Association for College Admission
Counseling (NACAC), hosted by the Pennsylvania Association for College
Admission Counseling (PACAC), and in partnership with the Mayor's
PhillyGoes2College initiative. This event is free and open to the public. As the process of applying to and selecting a college becomes more and more
competitive and complex, students and parents need all the help and information
they can get. Attending a college fair is an excellent way to gather information about
colleges and universities. The National College Fair program provides valuable
resources for students and parents attempting to navigate the college-admission
process. The fair allows students and parents to meet one-on-one with admission
representatives from a wide range of national and international, public and private,
two-year and four-year colleges and universities. Participants will learn about
admission requirements, financial aid, course offerings, and campus environment,
as well as other information pertinent to the college-selection process. At the fair’s
counseling center, students and parents can discuss their individual needs with
college experts. “The resources and opportunities that the National College Fairs provide for
students and their families are invaluable,” said Greg Ferguson, NACAC Director of
National College Fairs, Programs and Services, “and admission professionals have
been delighted by the caliber of students attending our programs.” Now in its 37th year, the National College Fair program annually helps more than
850,000 students and families nationwide explore their options for higher education,
making it one of the most visible college recruitment tools in the country. NACAC
currently sponsors fairs in 50 locations. For a complete schedule, visit
www.nationalcollegefairs.org. More Information More information about the Philadelphia National College Fair, including directions
to the fair, a list of colleges exhibiting at the fair, and tips for preparing for the fair is
available on the NACAC Web site at www.nationalcollegefairs.org, by emailing
collegefairs@nacacnet.org or by calling 800/822-6285. About NACAC NACAC is an Arlington VA-based education association of more than 11,000 primary and secondary school counselors, independent counselors, college admission and financial aid officers, enrollment managers, and organizations that work with students as they make the transition
from high school to postsecondary education. Founded in 1937, the association is committed to maintaining high standards that
foster ethical and social responsibility among those involved in the transition
process, as outlined in the NACAC Statement of Principles of Good Practice. This program is also approved by the National Association of Secondary School
Principals. www.nacacnet.org. For more information, contact: Christy Houston

HEALTH MATTERS Shellfish May Raise Diabetes Risk: Study Wed Oct 21, 2009 By Joene Hendy NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Eating white and oily fish regularly may provide protection against type 2 diabetes, but eating shellfish may have the opposite effect, a study from the UK hints. The study team noted about 25 percent less risk of type 2 diabetes amond men and women who reported eating one or more, as opposed to fewer servings of white or oily fish each week. Unexpectedly, however, they found that men and women who ate similar amounts of shellfish – primarily prawns, crab, and mussels – had about 36 percent increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. But “it may not be shellfish per se which increased the risk for diabetes.” Dr. Nita Forouhi, of Addrnbroooke’s Hospital, University of Cambridge, noted in an email to Reuters Health. Rather, the cooking and preparation methods used in the UK, for example, oils usd when frying or batter – and mayonnaise-based sauces served with the shellfish, may increase cholesterol intake, which in turn, may raise diabetes risk. Forouhi and colleagues assessed the weekly intake of shellfish plus white fish such
as cod, haddock, sole and halibut, or oily fish such as mackerel, kippers, tuna and
salmon, reported by 9,801 men and 12, 183 women. The study participants were 40 to 79 years old at the time and had on history of
diabetes. Over an average of 10 years, 725 of these men and women developed type 2
diabetes. But the lower risk linked with white fish and oily fish and the greater risk tied to
shellfish intake remained when the investigators allowed for a range of diabetes risk
factors including physical activity, obesity, alcohol use, and fruit and vegetable
intake. The investigators emphasized that the link between shellfish intake and diabetes
intake and diabetes risk requires further investigations in other populations. This observed link, Forouhi commented, “does not imply that one is the cause of
the other.” The findings on white and oily fish “reinforce the public health message to consume
fish regularly, “the investigators conclude, while the shellfish findings should be
studied further. Source: Diabetes Care October 2009 Link to ARTICLE ----- Coalition members! Activate ‘Your’web link on The Coalition, Inc. web site ----- Get Fresh!

program, will be on the 3rd Saturday of each month: November 21, and December
19. The program will skip January and resume in February. The collections take place at the co-op's garage, at 542 Carpenter Lane, which is across the street and a bit further down the block from the Big Blue Marble
bookstore. Please note that we need volunteers to keep this project going. (Weavers Way
members can get work credit for helping us; work shifts are available on co-op's the
online calendar.) The #5 category includes yogurt cups, sour cream containers, hummus tubs, some
medicine bottles, and more. Your recyclables must be clean and dry to be accepted.
Check to make sure there are no other materials (paper, screws, other number
plastics) on the items you bring in. Impurities of any kind compromise the recycling
process and usually lead to the discarding of an entire batch. Exclude any lids
unless they are clearly marked #5. (Most lids from #5 containers are #4 plastic, but
this is not always the case.) We ask recyclers for a small donation to cover postage costs of mailing the
recyclables to the Gimme 5 processing facility in New York. Before bringing your #5s to the collection, be sure that they meet the requirements
for Gimme 5: All items must be CLEAN and DRY. If they contained food or any oily or dirty
product, make sure they have been washed, not just rinsed. Items stacked when wet
tend to stay wet, so allow washed items to dry fully before stacking or packing. The #5 stamp needs to be visible on each item. Lids are separate items. Don’t
assume lids are the same number plastic as the container; sometimes they are but
usually they are not. Check to make sure there are no other materials (labels, paper,
other number plastics, metal) on the items you bring in. Brita filters are also welcome! Let them air dry for several days to make sure they
are completely dry. We'll see you soon! Carolyn, Helen, Priscilla and Stevik of the Weavers Way Environment Committee ----- Coalition members!

We are thrilled to see that the organizers have
responded to Community-Campus Partnerships for Health’s (CCPH) comments on last year's summer institute. When the 1st NIH institute on CBPR was announced, CCPH expressed concern about its exclusive focus on academic
researchers. In CBPR, the community is involved at the very start of the research, so it was incongruent that the institute did not include the community partners or acknowledge the possibility of a
community partner as a principal investigator or co-PI. This summer's institute has been designed for community-academic partner teams (see below for details). CCPH has successfully implemented community-academic partner team-based model of CBPR training: http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/pdf_files/2005CBPRInstituteApp3-25.pdf and http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/pdf_files/2005%20Summer%20Institute%20Agenda.pdf The training curriculum, "Developing and Sustaining CBPR Partnerships" is available online at www.cbprcurriculum.info.
