82This week,  while attending a Spa Week media event in Manhattan at the beautiful, Prince George Ballroom on 27th Street,  ( FYI:  Week features, from time to time, $50.00 spa treatments in various spas around the country,  and they're happening again next week). ,  I spied a display of Dole Real Fruit Bites. When 4:00 comes around and I'm home, and feeling a bit hungry and drained, or if I've been out all day and can't stop for a healthy snack, I always wonder what I can eat that is easy, healthy and low in calories. Dole Real Fruit Bites are bite-size pieces made from real Dole dried fruit chunks, coated with yogurt and sprinkled with toasted whole grain oats. You can get apple (the one I tried), Pineapple, and Mango. These look like candy, but they're naturally sweet, and they are sold in bags of six individual packettes of just 80 calories -- that makes them great for on the go, and they're portion-controlled.  And, they're a good source of Vitamin C. They do contain milk, soy, and sulfites, but the 0 trans fat, low sodium (35mg) and 0 cholesterol make them a healthier alternative to candy bars, crunchy snack foods, sodas, and even most granola/health bars.

The Apple Real Fruit Bites I tried were sweet and quite delicious. I ate a packette on the subway on the way home, and it made my ride!  The only difference I could tell between these, and the chocolate or yogurt-coated dried fruit candy  I'm fond of, is that they are less caloric. The whole grain oats are essential to good health, but in all honesty, they make the consistency a little less smooth than a regular chocolate or yogurt covered fruit item. It wasn't unpleasant, just different.  True, a fresh fruit might be even healthier, but sometimes you just want something easy, sweet and satisfying -- and these deliver on those counts, perfectly.  They're good to pop into a purse, a lunchbox, or for long car and plane rides. At approximately 67 cents per packette, these are a bit pricey, but you'd pay as much for a snack from a vending machine, or the news-stand at work. I like them for Halloween favor -- packettes for your favorite children as a Halloween treat, is do-able. And, I like the idea of having a bowl of these packettes on the TV table for Thanksgiving, so adults and kids snack on something healthy during the "big game."

These Dole products, and of course, other Dole dried fruit items, are available now in the dried fruit section of grocery stores throughout the United States for approx,. $3.99 a bag of six packettes. Visit the Dole Web site for more information!  Check out Spa Week's Daily Blog, too.

If you’re struggling with too much debt you’re not alone.  It seems as if the whole nation has a borrowing hangover.  For years, credit was easy and many people became overextended.  But we now live in an era of austerity and it’s time to get our affairs in order.

The 5 strategies you may want to avoid:51

The first advice of experts in the field is to be sure you don't make your situation worse by making common mistakes.  In particular try to avoid:

* Paying only the minimum payment on your debt as this will results in the amount you owe actually growing and your problems will only become worse.
* Relying on friends and family as this can damage relationships with the most important people in your life.
* Unscrupulous credit counselors that demand cash upfront or high fees for help they promise, but don't deliver.
* Using new high-interest loan to pay off lower interest rate loans – while it may be easier to just have one payment but it will actually increase the amount you have to pay back.
* Declaring bankruptcy – this can have permanent and severe consequences on your financial future, avoid if you can, especially when debt settlement may work for you...

Debt Settlement

For many people, working with a Debt Settlement company can actually be a great solution.  You’ve probably heard a lot of advertising for these services recently, but what exactly do they do.

Debt settlement is the process of negotiating with creditors to get them to forgive a big portion of your debt.  Why would a credit card company do this?  Well, it’s not out of the generosity of their heart.  They have made the financial calculations and determined they are better off knowing for certain that they’ll get paid something rather than not knowing at all if they will get paid anything.

Settlement companies work with individual consumers to determine a reasonable monthly amount that they can afford to pay against their debt load.  The individual makes the affordable payment every month into a special-purpose account, and as these funds accumulate, the settlement company reaches out to creditors to negotiate a full and final actual settlement amount that they will take. The Debt Settlement company only charges a fee after they have achieved a satisfactory settlement for you.

Typically, these companies have excellent relationships with creditors and are negotiating on behalf of thousands of people every day.  The amount of savings they can obtain for consumers can be significant.

While each situation is different, it’s not uncommon for debt settlement companies to negotiate reductions of as much as 50% of the outstanding amount and help get their customer debt free in just a few years.

There are a many debt-settlement agencies, so the next question is how to find a legitimate and trustworthy company to work with? One great way to start is by visiting Preferred Financial Services.  They offer a free, no-obligation consultation to evaluate your options.  Then, if you chose to proceed, they will develop a plan that meets your specific needs and negotiate it on your behalf with your credit card companies .  Preferred Financial Services is fully compliant with all FTC rules and they charge no fees until a settlement has been reached.

The platitude of the season this year is about the season – "autumn's come a bit early, don't you think?". Everyone seems to be saying it. Even Sian Lloyd and those other weather people.

But at least, they reassure us, it looks as if we'll get an Indian summer: what the Germans, in their teutonically precise way, call a Nachsommer (after summer). In Russia, Professor Google informs me, it's called "old women's summer". Because, one assumes, the aged biddies can finally make themselves useful by stacking the firewood for the Siberian winter ahead.

But even the omniscient web-prof can't tell me why it's called "Indian summer" in the English-speaking world. The phrase is known to have originated in America. But no one, it seems, knows why native Americans are associated with this seasonal bonus. None the less, everyone knows what Indian summer means: golden days and cool nights – the latter drawing in, as the British say, usually with a little sigh.

All four seasons have their songs, but none, I think, has lovelier songs than autumn. Is there three minutes' more beautiful jazz than George Shearing's laconic piano version of "September in the Rain"? The lyrics can be quite happily dispensed with: they're banal:

The leaves of brown came tumbling down

That September

That September in the rain...

But the imagery of title, and the haunting sadness of the tune, etch themselves on the sensibility. It gives you the shivers. I like to think that, because he was blind, Shearing felt autumn, and that that feeling came through his fingers, colouring the melody sad.

This Shearingesque tinge of sadness is always there in songs about autumn. Another jazz standard (beloved, particularly, by tenor saxophonists) is "Autumn Leaves". Its lyrics are sublime:

The falling leaves drift by my window

The falling leaves of red and gold...

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song...

And what, exactly, is old winter's song? No more falling leaves, no more love, no more anything. Enjoy what's left while it's still here, and you're still here.

In New England "fall"(as autumn's crisply called over there) is dramatic. I remember waking up one morning in New Hampshire in late August (fall comes really early up there) feeling somehow strangely restless. The world outside didn't look different: the elms were still in leaf, the grass was green. But there was a palpable crispness in the air. A prickliness on the skin. There had been the first cold snap overnight. Not quite frost but a warning chill.

Housework Help as a New Benefit

That fact is cited in a new analysis of academic scientists and housework -- being published today by Academe, the magazine of the the American Association of University Professors, and calling for colleges to create an option for faculty members and others to have financial assistance for housework as an employee benefit. The study finds that even among dual career scientist couples, the time gap spent on housework is hindering the advancement of women.
The study found that female scientists with male partners perform 54 percent of their family housework (cooking, cleaning and laundry) in their households, while male scientists with female partners perform 28 percent of their family housework. While there are other tasks on which the male scientists contribute a majority of time (yard, house and car care), those tasks take much less time a week than those that women are more likely to perform. It adds up to a 10-hour drain on the time of female scientists, the study finds.

The study was conducted by Londa Schiebinger, the John L. Hinds Professor of History of Science and director of the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, and Shannon Gilmartin, a quantitative analyst and the institute. The data come from a large research project at the institute, "Dual Career Academic Couples: What Universities Need to Know." Schiebinger and Gilmartin used data collected for that report from 1,222 tenured and tenure-track faculty members in the natural sciences at leading universities. Those studied were all partnered with someone of the opposite sex. (Data were also collected from same-sex couples, but the totals were too small to draw conclusions on them.)

Among the other findings:
Male scientists with stay-at-home partners do the least household work, relying on their female partners to do 76 percent of such work.

While very few women in the survey (13) have stay-at-home male partners, they do more housework than their male counterparts.
The men and women in the study reported nearly identical hours a week at work -- mean of 56.4 hours for men and 56.3 hours for women.

Men and women who employ others to do housework are more productive than those who don't employ others. (Productivity is measured by number of published articles.)

Based on these findings, the authors suggest that colleges recognize that housework is "an academic issue" and revise benefits packages accordingly. They suggest that institutions offer flexible packages of benefits, in which financial assistance for housework would be one possible benefit. They write that some employees might not want the benefit and would prefer, based on their personal or family situations, other benefits. But the option should be included, they write.

"One appealing aspect of this benefit proposal is its inclusivity -- one need not be partnered or have children to gain access," they write.

Schiebinger and Gilmartin acknowledge that, given the economic downturn, this may not be "the right time" to propose a major expansion of benefits. But they say that over the long run, this is an issue that should be addressed.

"Providing benefits to support housework continues dominant social trends of the past 40 years," they write. "U.S. institutions have stepped into the domestic sphere to support aspects of private life, from health-care benefits to child-care supplements. Institutions now need to step in to support housework."

Cathy A. Trower, research director and co-principal Investigator of the Collaborative On Academic Careers in Higher Education, at Harvard University, said she wasn't surprised by the findings on housework. But she said she feared that this may not be the issue that most needs reform.

"I'm all for more benefits for faculty and household help would be great for everyone -- singles and marrieds and men and women. Bravo," she said.

But the larger question is whether such changes would actually help many women (and men). COACHE's surveys of young faculty members have found significant frustrations with work/family balance in higher education, but the surveys have also found many young scholars who don't just want more help, but want different models, with more time for family or non-academic pursuits.

Too much attention to issues like housework may shift attention away from broader reforms, Trower said. She has written about the need for different models for faculty careers -- long-term renewable contracts, tenure expectations that may not require 60 hours a week in the lab and so forth -- as the best way to create more options. Focusing on benefits -- such as how many times you can stop the tenure clock or whether you should be paid for hiring household help -- doesn't address the question of whether the system is one to bolster or needs real reform.

"What I am against is the lack of flexibility and the seeming inability to confront openly the issues at play," she said.
