I hope the new semester is going well! As of today, we are just under -3.7% enrollment, so the steep decline of previous semesters has slowed a bit. We had a good week at the legislature last week, and this year, we have a measure of confidence the legislature will be in support of the Governor's recommendations for funding CSI's requests.
In order to provide a regular forum for the exchange of information on and off campus, I am calling for time together, a First Friday Forum for this exchange of information during 2016 and primarily during the school year. Each "First Friday" of the month starting in March, members of administration will be at a location on campus to provide a very brief update and be available for questions. Times and locations appear below. The plan is to record these and archive them for those of you with scheduling conflicts.
If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Deahl or Shonna Parsons. We hope to see you there!
Friday Forum Information
March 4 - Shields 117 from 10-11:30 a.m. April 1 - Evergreen A06 from 10-11:30 a.m.
May 6 - Fine Arts 119 from 10-11:30 a.m.

This Week's Winner for CSI's Sustainability Recycling Success
|
This week the CSI Sustainability Council reveals the 2015 figures for our combined paper and beverage containers recycling. Drum roll please..........the 2015 total is 99,600 pounds or 49.8 tons. This brings the total since 2009 to 464,982 pounds (232.49 tons). Thank you CSI for diverting these materials form the landfill. Please continue to recycle all your paper, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, soup cans, and yogurt containers to further reduce the amount of waste we send to the landfill. Starve the landfill!
A big thank you to Joseph Lemoine and CSI's dedicated custodial crew for helping make our recycling program a success.
Ann Keane is this week's "Guessing the totals" winner. Congratulations Ann!

 Zack Bartlett, a CSI student who produces video for the College of Southern Idaho's Public Information Department, produced an award-winning video for CSI's Professional Technical programs. The 30-second video was submitted to the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, for the organization's 2016 CTE Video PSA contest. It won second place among the videos submitted from across the nation. Barlett's video can be seen here:

"We're very fortunate to have Zack's talents, if only for a short time longer," said CSI Public Information Specialist Kimberlee LaPray, who oversees Bartlett's projects. "He's an extremely talented videographer and editor. We look forward to having him produce several more videos for us before he graduates from CSI this spring and goes on to work toward his bachelor's degree."

The Mathematics and Engineering Department is pleased to congratulate Mark Sneddon and Jasmine Willis for being chosen as CSI's finalists for the Barry Goldwater Scholarship. Their names and application materials will be sent onward to the national level for consideration. Here is what each of the finalists had to say about the award:
|
Mark Sneddon
I'm working towards becoming an Electrical Engineer specializing in robotics research and development. I want to do research which will allow me to develop new technology that assists communities or manufacturing processes.
I am seeking my associates in both electrical and mechanical engineering here at CSI and am planning on transferring to a four-year university to complete my bachelor's and master's in Electrical Engineering; specializing in robotic power and control systems.
I have been honored with being nominated as one of the Barry Goldwater Scholarship Finalists for the College of Southern Idaho and I hope to be one of the recipients for this distinguished award. This generous gift would cover all of my expenses for my first semester at a four year university after I graduate from the CSI this spring, including tuition, housing, food, books, and other necessities to attend school.

Jasmine Willis
If I am selected by nationals for the Barry Goldwater Scholarship I will be using it to pay for my online bachelor's program of Environment Science through the University of American Public University. It will go towards tuition and books.
This opportunity will allow me to focus on school and continuing my education after I have graduated from CSI. It will also hopefully cover the costs of my education long enough for me to save up the amount I will need to pay for a master's program in this field.

 Be Active. Have fun.
It's NOT TOO LATE to create or join a team in your work area!
The President's Active Lifestyle Challenge (PALA+)
is a national program that promotes physical activity AND good nutrition, because it takes both to lead a healthy lifestyle. Sign up for the six-week program to help you maintain or improve your health.
Our
challenge begins February 8 and ends just before Spring Break.
Physical Activity
A healthy life is an active life. Youth (6-17 years old) need to be active at least 60 minutes a day (or 11,000 steps for girls and 13,000 steps for boys). Adults (18 and older), 30 minutes (or 8,500 steps). So, take a walk with friends, bike ride after dinner, garden, or play a game of basketball at the park. Get your heart pumping and your muscles moving. When you've logged six weeks of physical activity, congratulations. You've started a regular routine for a more active lifestyle.
Good Nutrition
Start eating healthy. It's easier than you think! Take it one step at a time. Commit to achieving our spring healthy goals each week. Focus on your healthy eating and remember, the more often you incorporate good nutrition and hydration into your lifestyle, the better you will feel.
The 2016 Goals are listed below:
- 2 hours or less screen time per day outside of work
- 0 sugary drinks
- 1 hour activity for kids, 30 mins for adults daily
- 6 fruits or vegetables every day

Note:
A recent presentation from a local dentist at St. Luke's reveals that rinsing with water after drinking something sweet could really save on tooth cavities! So, grab your recyclable water bottle and keep sipping throughout the day.
Everyone knows they need to drink more water. Water is needed in just about every area of our bodies and does lots of amazing things like flushing toxins from the body, helps to prevent constipation, improves heart health and skin, helps to control appetite and weight, improves sleep and energy levels.
But, sometimes drinking plain water gets boring, really boring. So instead of reaching for one of the thousands of sugary alternatives, why not give your next glass of water a flavorful makeover?
1.
Fruit Water
- Fill a glass with fresh, ice cold water and 1/2 cup of your favorite fruit. Fresh fruit adds a delicious flavor and natural sweetness! Some tasty combos to try...white nectarine, blueberries and pineapple or strawberries, sliced orange and mango. Carb amounts will vary depending on the fruits that you choose.
2.
Coconut Water - Good news! You don't have to be stuck on a deserted island to enjoy fresh coconut water. It's easy to find at the grocery store. Coconut water is packed with potassium and electrolytes and is an all-natural way to keep your body hydrated all year round! 8oz coconut water = 45 calories, 11g carbs.
3.
Sun Tea - Fill a large clean glass jar (that holds about 48oz) with fresh, clean, cold water. Place 8 peppermint tea bags (or other herbal tea bags) into the water leaving the tags hanging outside the jar. Put the lid on the jar and place the jar in a warm sunny spot for 1-2 hours, but not more than 4 hours. Remove the teabags and chill right away for safety. (Optional: add a teaspoon of honey to 8oz of tea which provides 4 grams of carbs).
4.
Spa Water - Add a few slices of cucumber and fresh basil or mint leaves to an icy cold glass of spring water. 0 grams carbs.
5.
Fresh Watermelon - Did you know that watermelon is 92% water by weight? Eating a serving of fresh sliced watermelon is a great way to stay hydrated on a hot day! 1 cup diced watermelon = 12 grams carbs.
6.
Crystal Light Pure - Crystal Light Pure is different from traditional Crystal Light because it does not have artificial colors or sweeteners. It is sweetened naturally from a small amount of evaporated cane juice (a.k.a. sugar) and from the stevia plant. One packet = 2 serving and provides 30 calories and 6 grams of carbs.
7.
Honest Kids - Honest Kids is a low-sugar, fruit flavored, organic, pouch drink for kids. Honest Kids does not use any high fructose corn syrup. 1 serving 6.75 oz pouch = 40 calories, 10 grams carbs.
8.
Lemon Lime Seltzer - Try making an all-natural, sugar-free soda....fill a glass with 12 oz seltzer water and slices of fresh lemons and limes. 12 oz = 0 calories and 0 grams carbs.

Calories consumed minus calories burned: it's the simple formula for weight loss or gain. But dieters often find that it doesn't work. Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley of Gastropod investigate.
"For me, a calorie is a unit of measurement that's a real pain in the rear."
Bo Nash is 38. He lives in Arlington, Texas, where he's a technology director for a textbook publisher. And he's 5'10" and 245 lbs - which means he is classed as obese.
In an effort to lose weight, Nash uses an app to record the calories he consumes and a Fitbit band to track the energy he expends. These tools bring an apparent precision: Nash can quantify the calories in each cracker crunched and stair climbed. But when it comes to weight gain, he finds that not all calories are equal. How much weight he gains or loses seems to depend less on the total number of calories, and more on where the calories come from and how he consumes them. The unit, he says, has a "nebulous quality to it".
