What the Health | Delivering the latest buzz on fitness, nutrition and wellness for Syracuse University students. Is Junk Food Really Cheaper? Avery’s Healthy Campus Eats « What the Health. Hello, WTHers! My name is Avery Bowser, and I’ll be your healthy eating guide for the semester. I’m in my third year at Syracuse, so I know that it can be hard to find fresh, nutritious food to eat amongst the dining halls and quick-service restaurants on campus. No need to despair, however – I promise you there are healthy options at all of these locations that can still satisfy your (tastebuds/cravings).
To help you identify these options, I will be going to a different location each week to find a meal that is both nutritious and delicious. This week, I decided to tackle the dining hall. There is a large range of food choices in the dining halls, many of which are loaded with calories, sodium and unhealthy saturated fats. However, they also offer a variety of healthier options: The salad bar is always a safe bet. The salad provides a host of essential nutrients and has enough protein and belly-filling fiber to keep you satisfied. By Avery Bowser Like this: Like Loading...
Avery’s Healthy Campus Eats | What the Health. Hello, WTHers! Last week I told you how to find a healthy dinner in the dining hall. I realized however that I left you hanging for the rest of the day! To make up for it, I’m giving you a full day of healthy dining hall eating this week. Breakfast As I’m sure you’ve been told countless times by your mother, grandmother, etc, you need to eat breakfast. They’re right on point though. Eating within an hour of waking kick starts your metabolism and helps keep it humming for the rest of the day.

With Pearltrees, you can organize all of your favorite sites, articles and links. Pearltrees syncs with Twitter and Facebook, so every time you post a link Pearltrees creates a ‘pearl’ to save it.
You can divide your pearls into as many different categories as you want. So far I have an extensive pearl created for all my social media related content. I also post a lot of articles about health and nutrition, so I will make another pearl in the future to organize those items as well. Here’s my Pearltree: Like this: Like Loading... Which Countries Use Social Networks The Most? [Study] Experian Hitwise has released some new numbers about social network use around the world. It found that Brazil and Singapore are the top two countries for overall social networking use. But Facebook is not the network on which Brazilians are spending their time. The study also measured the length of the average user's Facebook session and found that Brazilians spent comparatively little time on Facebook.
While Singapore users spend nearly nearly 39 minutes per Facebook session on average, Brazilian users spend less than half that, just over 18 minutes. Where are the Brazilians if not on Facebook? They're using Orkut, owned by Google. Orkut owns 43% of the social networking market in Brazil, but it's losing ground to Facebook. The Hitwise study measured market share of social networking sites versus total Internet usage as its metric of overall social Web use: Market share for social networks and forums: 6 Ways to Become Likeable With Social Media. Would you like people to rave about your business? Wouldn’t it be nice if customers fall in love with your brand? If you think that sounds silly, see what people are saying about Mayor Cory Booker of Newark, New Jersey: Fans are raving about Newark Mayor Cory Booker, despite numerous challenges facing the city.
Delighting Your Customers On December 31, 2009, the city of Newark was hit by a terrible snowstorm that left thousands of residents stranded and concerned about their safety. One resident—Ravie Rave—tweeted that she was extremely anxious about her 65-year-old dad getting snowed in. Mayor Cory Booker does a remarkable job using social media to connect with his constituents. One hour later, the mayor showed up at her dad’s house and shoveled out his driveway! Perhaps you’re NOT even thinking about creating a likeable brand. What if I told you that this book could teach you how to do both? Here’s what you need to know about Likeable Social Media by Dave Kerpen. Author’s Purpose Dave Kerpen. How To Stay Ahead of Facebook’s Changes.
How can you future-proof your marketing while learning lessons from the past? Stay present. Take a step back from the particulars of social media upheaval, and stay focused on your messaging strategy. As you probably know, Facebook is taking a big leap. It’s changing radically. I won’t try to explain it all to you. Mashable does a very thorough job explaining it as does Wired.
It represents both a risk and an opportunity. Part of the problem with trying to hire agencies or staff as social media experts is that when radical shifts in behavior or functionality happen, “experts” are in the same boat with everybody else. The solution? Well, first of all, constant innovation isn’t a problem, it’s a gift. Study: PR is the second-most-caffeinated profession. By | Posted: September 30, 2011 How much coffee do you drink a day? If you’re anything like the majority of U.S. workers who consume the tasty beverage, you knock back at least two cups o’ joe to keep your furnace stoked. That’s according to a survey of 4,700 professionals, in which 61 percent of respondents who turn to coffee to get through the day say they drink two or more cups. That’s a lotta lattes—not to mention cappuccinos, black, light and sweet, French roast, espresso, percolated, freeze-dried, and the list goes on and on and on like an over-caffeinated colleague. Which professions are turning to coffee the most?
The study, by CareerBuilder and Dunkin’ Donuts (naturally), ranked the top 15 professionals “who need coffee to get through the daily grind.” PR/marketing professional is No. 2, and that’s no java jive.

Jim Burton of UCStrategies is joined by Tim Passios, Senior Director of Solutions Marketing at Interactive Intelligence, for a discussion about Social Media in the contact center. Is it necessary for companies to add Social Media to their customer service channel mix? And if the answer is "yes," what steps are involved in the deployment? Jim Burton: Welcome to UCStrategies Executive Insights. This is Jim Burton and I am joined today by Tim Passios, Senior Director of Solutions Marketing and Interactive Intelligence. Tim Passios: Thanks Jim, so let us dive right into that question.
A couple of other things that I give to customers to let them know whether they fit the right profile as a company that should be supporting their customers and Social Media is are they a B-to-C company? Jim, if you do not mind, I am going to bring up a little bit of research that I did, that underscores this just a little bit further. The second thing is, that whole perception gap.

Bridging the Gap: Students, Teachers and Social Media. We live in a day and age where every social account synchronizes with a smart phone. No one is out of reach.
We can engage with anyone at any time. That is why more teachers should embrace the idea of utilizing Social Media to connect with their students and parents. As a society, it is time to accept this idea as well. I understand the push-back; I am a father, too. Anytime a non-parental adult makes themselves available to our children, the sirens go off. Parents are part of this equation as well. Teachers should be where the students are, they should also be where the parents are; the best places to start are Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.

By Neicole Crepeau, Contributing {grow} Columnist I’m going to get flak for this post, but I don’t care. I’m so frustrated that I have to write something. I love Twitter. It’s my main social media outpost, my main information source, and where I connect with a lot of my friends. But Twitter is dying, and it’s all because of you. Tribes are killing Twitter I’m a content curator and I spend time every morning reading content and sharing the best of what I find that day, on topics like social media, technology, marketing, and website and mobile design. That’s where the problem is. Continuing to scan my Twitter stream, I kept see the same posts, each tweeted by several people. Spam, spam, and more spam When I first started curating content, I used LinkedIn groups as a source.
Later, I added Twitter to the mix. In the last six months or so, I’ve seen the quality of the content being shared on Twitter drop dramatically. It’s become a big spam-fest on Twitter. You’re part of the problem. Twitter Now Has 1,600 Advertisers. Social media - a political tool for good or evil? Last updated 11:19 29/09/2011 Getty Images REC: A man takes a photo of a burnt out armoured personnel carrier in Cairo's Tahrir Square on January 29. After the "Arab Spring" surprised the world with the power of technology to revolutionize political dissent, governments are racing to develop strategies to respond to, and even control, the new player in the political arena - social media. Anti-government protesters in Tunisia and Egypt used Twitter, Facebook and other platforms to run rings around attempts at censorship and organise demonstrations that ousted presidents Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak.
That served as a wake-up call to those in authority. By allowing millions of citizens to coordinate political action quickly and often without conventional leadership, the new technology is challenging traditional political power structures. Being ahead of the game when it comes to embracing social media, Washington hopes, will be key to maintaining its influence in a changing world.
