55 Colleges Sign Up For Campus Mental Health Review With Jed Foundation
Fifty-five colleges and universities have signed on to participate in a program run by two prominent nonprofits to examine how well the schools are handling student mental health on campus, the organizations plan to announce Wednesday.
The schools on the list are taking part in the The Jed & Clinton Health Matters Campus Program, a partnership of the Jed Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes mental health at colleges and universities, and The Clinton Foundation Health Matters Initiative, which is part of the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The program is designed to help universities prevent students from dying by prescription drug overdoses, alcohol poisoning, or by suicide.
As part of the program, each college will conduct a self-assessment survey of its programming around mental health promotion and substance abuse and suicide prevention. The program will provide assessment tools and reports to the schools over a four-year period.
John MacPhee, executive director and CEO of The Jed Foundation, explained to The Huffington Post that eventually the schools will work to implement policies and practices to address a checklist laid out by the Jed Foundation. The program's framework encompasses everything from medical leave policies and functional "at-risk" or "behavioral intervention" teams, to making sure that campus housing facilities include features to hamper suicide attempts.
The list of schools, which may grow, includes elite and Ivy League universities, state schools and lesser-known institutions.
"We are thrilled to announce the first group of schools in the nation to join The Campus Program, and to celebrate these institutions for their recognition of mental health as an essential element of student education, development and maturation," said Rain Henderson, CEO of the Clinton Health Matters Initiative, in a statement.
Participating schools may or may not have exceptional policies and procedures already in place to deal with student mental health, but the goal is ultimately that these schools will represent the gold standard for such policies in higher education.
"We're not saying these schools have the best programs in place today, but these are schools that are making the commitment to enter the process of continued improvement," said MacPhee.
The Jed Foundation also said it is working to identify those schools, on or off the list, that it believes can model the best mental health services.
"Our hope is most of the schools -- thousands of schools nationwide -- will join the program and participate in this systematic process of looking at the programming and sharing the learnings across the schools," MacPhee said. "If we see a great program at one of these universities, we'll be sharing it with all the schools. A big part of what we want to do is socialize that."
According to the National Survey of College Counseling Centers, sponsored by the American College Counseling Association, more than 9 in 10 administrative heads of college and university counseling centers have reported an increase in the number of students who have come to campus counseling centers for help with psychological problems, and nearly half have noticed an increase in student self-injury behaviors, like cutting. At the same time, administrators say they're under more stress themselves, because of the increased demand on staff time due to the "growing complexity of client problems."
Kevin Kruger, president of NASPA–Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, told HuffPost that mental health on campus has become one of the top concerns nationwide for college officials, along with sexual assault.

Chicago fire puts focus on FAA's reliance on third-party contractors
Experts say many contract workers, like Brian Howard, who started the blaze in Aurora, are often poorly paid and victims of an industry that cuts costs to survive

Branding and the Girl in the Yellow Dress
In 1914 Morton Salt took the aphorism "It never rains but it pours" (meaning that when one bad thing happens, it's likely to be followed by other bad things), edited it down by one word and two syllables to "When it rains it pours" (which arguably says the same thing), and made it a tagline.
Putting a positive spin on the phrase, they used it to advertise that Morton Salt, the first table salt to be treated with an anti-caking agent, wouldn't clump or become brick-like even in the dampest weather. To bring the message home, the company introduced new packaging featuring the Morton Salt Girl, a child in a short, yellow dress, walking in the rain, an umbrella over her head and an open canister of Morton Salt cradled in her arm, NaCl flowing freely in her wake.
In the annals of branding, the Morton Salt Girl is a monumental achievement. She's been tweaked from time to time over the past century, but the company has wisely retained and respected her widely recognized identity. Consumers know her as the symbol of a name brand, quality table salt. When we buy the canister with her picture on it, we feel that salt-wise, we're not only going first class, but we're also buying what our forebears bought, and we take satisfaction in doing so at very little cost over generic and store-brand salts.
Today, coming up with an iconic brand or image as powerful and enduring as the Morton Salt Girl would involve numerous marketing firms, focus groups, test markets, and millions of dollars --with no guarantee that the outcome would still be commercially viable six months down the road, much less for a century.
On Friday, Sept. 26, Morton Salt celebrated the centenary of the umbrella-toting girl with a gathering on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, in the plaza just south of the Tribune Tower. Passersby could have their pictures taken with an umbrella in the Morton Salt Girl photo booth, or relax on salt-white couches while enjoying salty popcorn and bottled water. Graphics cycled on a ten-foot-tall digitized blue canister featuring the latest incarnation of the Morton Salt Girl, sparkling and shimmering in the sunlight.
Acquired in 2009 by K+S, a German company, Morton Salt remains headquartered in Chicago, where it has a history of supporting the arts. The Morton Wing of the Art Institute? Named for benefactor Sterling Morton, the only son of Joy Morton, the entrepreneur who took over the company and gave it his name in 1889.
Continuing this tradition, Morton marked the one-hundredth birthday of the Morton Salt Girl by awarding a hundred one-thousand-dollar scholarships to students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Kendall College, fifty at each school.
Having been awarded of one of those scholarships, my daughter, in her third year at SAIC, accepted an invitation to showcase and work on her art during the afternoon at the Morton Salt Girl centenary venue. Fifty scholarship recipients were invited, four RSVP'd, two showed. EJ, wearing a yellow dress, and one other person spent two hours drawing and painting and getting sunburned as tourists snapped pics of their work. A drunk guy quizzed her about salt mines, which do not fall within her areas of expertise. He asserted that there were miles of salt mines under the city. He must've thought he was in Detroit or Cleveland.
At 6:30, Rahm Emmanuel made a brief speech. It was good of him to show up. Early that morning, a disgruntled employee had set fire to the Aurora air traffic control center, leading to the cancellation of thousands of flights at O'Hare and Midway, affecting travelers all over the world. This was the FAA's problem, but still, in spite of perfect weather that showcased all that is great about Chicago, the mayor was probably having a less than stellar day.
The crowd grew with the arrival of scholarship recipients from both institutions and people who just wanted to find out what was going on. Following Emmanuel's speech, we circulated. We had a conversation with Dave, who was executing the graphics for the event. He'd seen EJ painting away in the sun that afternoon, and he offered encouragement and advice. "You have to develop and promote your brand," he said.
Food had been prepared. We stood in line; picked up plates of salty steak sandwiches, strange pizza cubes and salted caramel mini cupcakes; almost tripped over a large, brown men's pull-on shoe, randomly left on the pavement ("There's a story there," I said); and then listened as Christian Herrmann, Morton's CEO, took the podium to speak in slightly accented English about the company's commitment to the arts and education.
"I love it," my daughter whispered. "He's British."
"No," I said, wondering how my offspring, who proudly bears her late father's German surname, could be so mistaken. "He's German."
"He's German," she said. "I love it."
Mr. Herrmann awarded two gigantic cardboard checks, one to SAIC and one to Kendall College. The scholarship recipients from SAIC posed with the big check, held by an administrator whose name I did not catch, taking photos with one another's phones while the giant digital Morton Salt canister scrolled through their names.
I had no idea that my daughter had always dreamed of posing with a giant, fake check, and it had never occurred to me that she, as an artist, is growing into what will become her own brand.
And then, lugging an IKEA bag full of art supplies that weighed the equivalent of twenty canisters of Morton Salt, we walked away into the perfect, unseasonably warm evening and headed for the Blue Line, tired and happy, both of us the Morton Salt Girl's unlikely new BFFs.

Christian Cagigal’s 'Obscura’: Magic and theater
Christian Cagigal, a storytelling magician whose sly charm and soothing voice can be hypnotic in a quietly creepy way, prefers not to reveal the overarching narrative of “Obscura,” the intimate evening of theater and magic he performs Oct. 15 through Nov. 2 at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley. “I do close-up magic with playing cards, tarot cards and old photographs while telling stories about death, war and the devil,” says Cagigal, on the horn from his Colma home. A San Francisco State theater alumnus and former member of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, Cagigal has been creating and producing his own shows for a decade, many at San Francisco’s Exit Theatre, where he has worked as an artist in residence since 2006. Cagigal’s interest in clairvoyance and matters of the spirit was stirred by his father, Julio, a Spanish immigrant who joined the U.S. Army, served in Vietnam and came home with post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health problems. [...] Cagigal was also into the fantastical movie worlds of Disney and Steven Spielberg, and the magic of David Copperfield, whose early work, was “all narratives and short vignettes,” Cagigal says, before Copperfield’s act took on more of a “modern music video style.” In case you hadn’t heard, singer and pianist Diana Krall has a bad case of pneumonia that has forced her to postpone her fall U.S. tour — including her Nov. 13 show at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa — and the planned release later this month of her new album, “Wildflower,” on which the tour was based. A screening of Swiss director Reto Caduff’s 2009 documentary about Haden, “Rambling Boy,” will be followed by a Q&A with Haden’s widow, Ruth Cameron Haden, and the sterling tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts from Haden’s film noir-inspired Quartet West.

CDC, FBI: Bicycle and Falling Deaths Far Exceed Deaths from 'Mass Shootings'
Death statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coupled with crime statistics from the FBI show that bicycle and falling deaths far exceed deaths from "mass shootings."For example, on September 24 the FBI released a study showing there were 64 incidents of "mass killings" (mass shootings) for the years 2000 through 2013. The gunmen in these incidents took the lives of 418 people.
Breitbart News reported that The New York Times and AP jumped all over the study, producing headlines about how "mass shootings" are on the rise and crafting stories that revolved around the attacks at Sandy Hook Elementary and the Aurora movie theater.
The 418 people who were killed over a 14-year period works out to an average of 29.8 persons a year.
To be clear, no one wants to see even one life lost to tragedy, but the mainstream media's focus on "mass shootings" to the detriment of other news where hundreds or even thousands more lives were lost is telling.
For example, the CDC bicycle-related injury report for 2010 shows that almost twice as many people died on bicycles in that one year than were killed in "mass shootings" during the 14 years studied by the FBI. Thus, while there were 418 deaths in "mass shootings" from 2000 to 2013, there were 800 deaths by bicycle in 2010 alone.
Moreover, there "were an estimated 515,000 emergency department visits" due to bicycle accidents.
And CDC death statistics for 2010 show there were 26,009 deaths from "falling" for that year alone. That's right--26,009 deaths in one year from falls from ladders, counters, roofs, mountains, etc.
There were an average of 29.8 deaths a year for 14 years from "mass shootings."

The Kings Manor Estates homes will feature 50–80-ft lots with 2 storeys in all estates, excluding the bungalows. And with the prime location of the Kings Manor Estates homes in Brampton, Breda anticipates that properties will move quickly.
