Jean Day FRIDAY

Since its inception in 1996, Lee National Denim Day has adhered to a simple philosophy: one day, one cause, one cure®. In 13 years, that philosophy has become a mantra for millions and has made an impact Lee Jeans never dreamed possible.

It all started when several Lee Jeans employees realized that each of them, in one form or another, had been touched by breast cancer. An everyday conversation sparked an idea and led to the creation of Lee National Denim Day, which has become one of the largest single-day fundraisers nationwide for breast cancer.

GOING BANANAS!

A phys psych professor at CCNY had the following fun trivia for his class about this amazing fruit:

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringy things" off of it. That's how the primates do it.
Never, put your banana in the refrig!!! Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to b eat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power
: Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

Want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!

2 New Looks on SU Campus

By ROXANN MILLER Senior correspondent, Public Opinion:
Shippensburg University celebrated the official reopening of two of its facilities --Ezra Lehman Memorial Library & Reisner Dining Hall --with ribbon-cutting ceremonies Saturday. With the $1.5 million project complete, the first floor of the 40-year-old library has been transformed into a 24,000-square-foot library-learning center.

Rick Ruth, vice president of information technologies and services at SU, told faculty, trustees, students and other local dignitaries at the ribbon cutting that today's library is very different from the library of the past. "Gone are card catalogs -- replaced by computer access terminals. Gone are typewriters -- replaced by computer labs and network printers. Gone are paper notebooks, pencils and pens -- replaced by laptops, notebook computers, net books and smart cell phones," Ruth said.

"Today's library is not the dull silent or motionless place of the past. It has color. Discussions are going on, and it is abuzz with activity. You will find posters, poetry, movable furnishings, group study rooms and, of course, a Starbucks," Ruth said.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Reisner Dining Hall (pictured), SU President Bill Ruud bragged about the world-class dining available on the SU campus. "This is truly a changed facility. It is modernized and it has responded to the new desires and needs of students," Ruud said, referring to the honorable mention that Reisner received from University Business Magazine. The $17 million project was completed ahead of schedule in May.

The dining facility expanded from 51,000 square feet to 59,000 square feet in order to move the cooking areas into the serving areas, add more student seating and create a more inviting dining experience. Three large televisions, a Bose sound system, and bistro-style seating has added to the dining experience, according to university officials.

3 Day Team: We DREAM


We are pleased to announce yet another one of our own who has made this worthwhile committment to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day! Kudos to all of you who are accepting this challenge and participating... let's show our sisters some support! If anyone else out there is also participating or would like to share your cause, be sure to drop us a line!

* * * * * * * * * * *
I have taken on an incredible challenge. On October 30 I'll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days, camping out at night with thousands of other women and men taking this journey with me.

It's for an event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day, which benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant. They are working hard to build a future without breast cancer, and I plan on raising $2300 to help bring us closer to that goal.

Please consider making a donation. You can donate online at www.The3Day.org. Please also ask your employer if they will double your donation with a matching gift. Thank you to those who have already made a donation!

Without a cure, one in eight women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer. That's why I'm walking in the 3-Day. Because everyone deserves a lifetime.

Just follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising webpage and make a donation. If you don't want to donate online, please download and print a donation form and mail it to the address on the form. Or you can call 800.996.3DAY to donate over the phone. I would like to reach my fundraising goal by [date], so don't delay!

Thank you for taking the time to read this email, and thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Tara Whisenant
Team We DREAM (Do Remember, Everybody, And More)
P.S. Don't wait - donate today!

Grandparent's Day

It is only right and fitting that one day of the year is set aside to honor our grandparents. It is time to celebrate those special people in our lives.

National Grandparent's Day originated in 1978. Then President Jimmy Carter declared it to be the first Sunday after Labor Day.

If you can, enjoy the day with them - or at least give them a call.

one good deed

When we ask our parents or grandparents, they can remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when JFK was shot; most of us recall being at school watching the gloomy day when the Challenger set off for space... or when the Gulf War began. But it is unfortunate that 9/11 means something to all of us... and so many of us know someone or their family directly affected by that horriffic day.

A few organizations took it upon themselves to make a positive out of this most disturbing of days... and with the help of the late Senator Ted Kennedy as the co-signer of the bill, President Obama signed into law the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which established 9/11 as a NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE.

This seven-year campaign was led by one exceptional nonprofit, MyGoodDeed. This group is asking for all Americans to help create a legacy that honors September 11 victims and acknowledge those who rose to service in response to the attacks on America by just doing something nice! Pledge to perform "ONE GOOD DEED" during this week. Either help a neighbor, family member, volunteer, engage in a charitable activity or begin a project for your community. You may post your deed or obtain ideas for new ones... visit:http://www.911dayofservice.org OR if you have ideas of what WE as a GROUP could do, PLEASE SHARE!!!

Also happening: This Friday there will be a star-supported evening tribute launched by President Obama and First Lady Michelle to the 9/11 community, giving free tickets for the "United We Serve" event to the volunteers. Speakers include NY Governor David Paterson and NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, others participating in the event will be late-night host Jimmy Fallon, the Harlem Boys & Girls Choir, The Roots, and Anjulie.

And of course, remember to display your AMERICAN FLAGS!!!

9-9-9

It's 9-9-09... and many are dressing to the nines!
So why not get in on the act?
After all, you're unlikely to experience another single-digit date in your lifetime. The next one won't roll around for 92 years -- until 1/1/2101.

Mathemagic
Those who like to play with numbers will have a field day on 09/09/09.
The date falls on a Wednesday in September, both of which have 9 letters.
September 9 also is the 252nd day of the year. 2+5+2
In addition, if you multiply a single-digit number by 9, the resulting two digits add up to 9. Consider: 8x9

Take me out to the ballgame
The number 9 abounds here. There are 9 innings (before extra innings), 9 players at a time on a team, 90 feet between bases and nine strikes per inning, 27 (9+9+9) outs per team in a regular-length game and 9 was the uniform number of Ted Williams.

Tweet away ...
Republicans are asking Twitter users to log on at 9 p.m. ET for what is being billed as the "largest Twitter tea party ever."
