Sustainable Table

 

Sustainable Table

Sustainable Table celebrates local sustainable food, educates consumers on food-related issues and works to build community through food.

The program is home to the Eat Well Guide, an online directory of sustainable products in the U.S. and Canada, and the critically-acclaimed, award-winning Meatrix movies - The Meatrix, The Meatrix II: Revolting and The Meatrix II½.

Sustainable Table was created in 2003 by the nonprofit organization GRACE to help consumers understand the problems with our food supply and offer viable solutions and alternatives. Rather than be overwhelmed by the problems created by our industrial agricultural system, Sustainable Table celebrates the joy of food and eating.

Today’s dominant form of agriculture relies on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, large amounts of water, major transportation systems and factory-style practices for raising livestock. Industrial farming creates over-processed, over-traveled, and under-nourishing food that may contribute to health problems like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. This type of food production causes pollution and creates environmental and public health problems that cost taxpayers both money and quality of life. Sustainable Table was launched to offer consumers a choice and to show that fresh food from small, independent family farmers is still available.

Eat Well Guide
The first project of Sustainable Table is the Eat Well Guide, a free, online directory of sustainably-raised meat, poultry, dairy and eggs from farms, stores, restaurants, bed & breakfasts and other outlets in the United States and Canada. Consumers enter their zip or postal code to find wholesome products available locally or when traveling.

The Eat Well Guide currently hosts nearly 9,000 entries, with new outlets added daily. Users can save their favorite listings and keep notes in the online Notebook feature. And in an effort to connect consumers locally, the Guide lists local and national organizations working on sustainable food issues.

The Eat Well Guide has received numerous endorsements from media outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, Consumer Reports, Health Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, and Sunset Magazine.

America the Bountiful

http://digital.lib.ucdavis.edu/projects/food/

     Food is a major facet of civilization and food in America reflects the many cultures that have met and blended in the Great Melting Pot. Furthermore, food in America is a reflection of the great bounty that is seen as a byword for America. Under the direction of University of California, Davis, Nutrition Department Professor Louis Grivetti, a number of individuals and organizations researched and assembled an exhibit chronicling the use of 10 classic American food groups including: beef, chicken, turkey, pork, potatoes, corn, greens, wheat, beans, and apples. These foods continue to play a major role in American culture.

BEEF
Reconstruction and Growth

CHICKEN
Cold War and Social Upheaval

TURKEY
Birth of a Nation

PORK
A Nation Divided

POTATOES
World War II

CORN
Bountiful Gifts

GREENS

The Iowa State Daily's Sidebar Mistake Accidentally Condones Rape

 

The Iowa State Daily's Sidebar Mistake Accidentally Condones Rape

As newspaper mistakes go, this one's a whopper.

A recent sidebar on a sexual assault article in the Iowa State Daily mistakenly said it was okay to have sex with those who are asleep, unconscious, inebriated, incapacitated, debilitated or under 16.

The sidebar's header in the Daily's Jan. 12 print edition read "Who can give consent?" An editor's note appended to the online version of the article states that the header was supposed to read "Who cannot give consent?"

The Daily's error has picked up speed around the web and has been sarcastically deemed a "great moment in student journalism."

Alas, student newspaper expert Dan Reimold offers some perspective on his blog College Media Matters, saying that the error shouldn't "distract from what appears to be a well-written story and nice design."

And a reminder to the folks at the Daily -- tomorrow is a new day.

UPDATE: Daily Editor-in-Chief Jessie Opoien has appended an additional note to the article. It says in part:

The Daily's sidebar mistake By Jessica Opoien, jessica.opoien@iowastatedaily.com Iowa State Daily

On Jan. 12, 2011, the Iowa State Daily published an article about the sexual assault, misconduct and harassment policy at Iowa State, written by Kaitlin York. The story, headlined in print as "Defining dangerous deeds," and online as "Understanding the policies for sexual assault," was about a very serious issue on college campuses.

The story was accompanied by three sidebars, with the intention of providing more information about sexual misconduct. However, a very unfortunate error, on our part, has made one of those sidebars infamous across the Internet. The sidebar, "Who cannot give consent?" was headlined, in print, as "Who can give consent?"

The error, of course, dramatically changed the information that was presented in the sidebar. Copy errors run in publications every day, but this was more severe than the average newspaper misprint.

This was nothing more than a mistake on our part -- not, as some online commenters have suggested, the product of someone with a sick sense of humor. Sexual misconduct is not a laughing matter, and, too often, careless jokes are made that can numb us and make us forget the seriousness of the matter. The Iowa State Daily does not condone sexual misconduct, and we do not take this issue lightly. We deeply regret any offense we may have caused.

Free Online Invitations -- Pingg, Evite, My Punchbowl, etc.

I have been reviewing the potential for using online invitation systems for scheduling and managing invitation for a workshop on EndNote, EndNote Web, and Zotero at my institution and I thought I would share my thoughts....such as they are.  I googled online invitation systems and got evite and a few others right away and since evite didn't fit my needs, I looked further.  The best comparison I found of services was from squidoo, entitled "Free Online Invitation Comparison and Evite Alternatives".  After looking at the sites listed, I choose Pingg - http://www.pingg.com/.

The reason for my choosing is the layout options, the ability to customize as well as the fact that it contained the key elements I needed.  These essential elements included (1) ability to e-mail invitations, (2) a web page for non-invited people to sign-up and register, (3) the ability to limit the number of registrations to the room size, and (4) the ability to communicate with the invited and registered attendees (to thank attendees, use surveymonkey for evaluation, or in case I have to change date or cancel.)

There are several which had these features and some that didn't.  A brief overview.

Evite didn't create a web page unless you were invited so it was out of the running... You could use it and say you weren't the person invited and then put in your name and e-mail but I couldn't figure out how to gather the e-mails and also explaining this seemed problematic...

PurpleTrail -- had to pay to limit the number of RSVPs -- so that's out

My Punch Bowl -- their e-mail went into my spam filter so this was a problem, plus it's name didn't seem professional.  Had all the other features -- probably my 3rd choice...

Man Vites -- not professional

Made It -- Doesn't work

Good Invitation -- Interesting might use sometime due to being able to used customized flash -- but no way to limit RSVP"s.

Events Listed -- Ticketing Service -- NA

Socializer -- My 2nd Choice -- probably better in functionality than Pinng but not as artsy or clean looking.  Had all the features and more and could be customized to make it look like I think I want it....

Invitastic - Not working on sending when I looked.... so I didn't look further.

Zoji -- Can't limit number of guests/RSVP's

Enclude -- Doesn't work

Shindigg - No limiting number of attendees and no website

Sendomatic -- Need to pay for more than 10 invites...

 

So Pingg (http://www.pingg.com/) is my choice --  I will let you know how it works out and if I switch to another system... If you know of any e-vite or ticketing systems that are free that have my criteria that I missed let me know.

 

Thanks -- Stephen
