Nonresident Mothers (FAR0088/FM424)
“We read and hear stories with some frequency about “deadbeat dads” or those nonresident fathers who fail to make child support payments. The issue has prompted numerous studies and legislative action as well. But have you ever heard of a “deadbeat mom”? Not likely or rarely. This is a growing problem that has remained largely under the radar.” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Donna Davis, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.

“In a hurried world, keeping up with our children when we’re trying to juggle marriage, jobs, possibly multiple children, and the many other challenges life can throw at us, we can feel overwhelmed at times.

A Stink Bug Euschistus quadrator Rolston (Insecta: Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) (EENY523/IN937)
Euschistus quadrator, like other stink bugs, is highly polyphagous. It is found on weeds such as clover, vetch and other legumes. It feeds on many different crops, though it is primarily found on cotton, soybeans and corn. Stink bugs cause injury to various fruits and vegetables by feeding, resulting in significant quality and yield loss. They have piercing-sucking mouthparts and most feed primarily on fruits and seeds. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Sara A. Brennan, Joseph Eger, and Oscar E. Liburd, and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, June 2012.

Choosing an Assisted Living Facility (FAR6017/FM434)
“Assisted living facilities are a type of housing for frail elders and people with physical and mental disabilities who don’t need nursing care but cannot live independently. These residences offer personal care, health care, around-the-clock supervision, and other services. With a wide variety of facilities out there, selecting a residence may be difficult.” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Suzanna Smith, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.

How Couples Cope with Infertility (FAR3039/FM433)
“I’ve had many friends who, soon after they were married, were constantly facing questions from friends and relatives about when they were going to start having children. Many people assume this would be the next logical step. However, many couples choose not to have children, and more than four million married men and women in the U.S. have difficulty conceiving or carrying a child to birth.” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Donna Davis, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.

Cohabitation among Older Adults (FAR3040/FM436)
“Most of the time when we think about cohabiting couples, we imagine younger adults who are living together before they get married, or instead of marrying. But, according to the 2000 census, there are more than a million individuals over the age of 50 who are cohabiting, and this number is increasing as baby boomers reach their 50s and 60s.” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Suzanna Smith, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.

Talking to Your Teens about Dating (FAR1212/FM443)
“Talking to teenagers about dating may seem like a daunting task to some parents who are thinking their teen will assume the “Oh no, not another parent talk again” posture. You know the one—head cocked, eyes rolled, and arms crossed. However, talking about it can be very important in determining how your teen approaches dating and his or her future relationships.” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Kate Fogarty and Donna Davis, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.

Shopping Cart Injuries (FAR5009/FM448)
“Perhaps you were one of those children who thought of the shopping cart as a mountain for the courageous climber to conquer, or a racecar with you at the wheel. Or you’ve been challenged by one of those children in the grocery store who were not just riding in, but standing in, climbing on, or pushing that shopping cart like it was their own private jungle gym, skateboard, or glider.”

Involving Youth in the Community Development Process (FAR1214/FM451)

Disaster Planning for Caregivers (FAR6018/FM450)
“News that a hurricane or tornado is on its way can cause anyone to worry. But if you’re responsible for providing care for someone who’s disabled, chances are you face additional concerns. You and the person you care for may not be able to “jump and run” when the tornado sirens are sounded or the hurricane warning is issued. As a caregiver, you should have specific strategies to be prepared for any natural disaster that may come your way.” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Carolyn Wilken, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.

Music Lyrics and Influence on Teen Sex (FAR1213/FM449)
“As a baby boomer, I was part of the generation that grew up with rock and roll. I recall the first time I heard my mother respond to explicit lyrics my older brother was listening to and thinking what a renegade he was. They weren’t nearly as explicit as the lyrics of today’s music, and while I swore that I’d never become my mother, I now find myself fighting with my children to turn it off! Perhaps mom was not so far off-base after all!” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Donna Davis, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, July 2012.

Agricultural Management Options for Climate Variability and Change: Sensor-Based, Variable-Rate Nitrogen Management (AE487)
Nitrogen fertilizer cost represents about 10%–15% of total farm costs for corn, cotton, and wheat in the Southeastern United States. The efficiency of nitrogen use can be highly variable for producers, so a sensor-based, variable-rate nitrogen application (SVNA) system has been developed for irrigated and dryland row crops to reduce production costs. Using sensor-based N application, there is a minimum 20% reduction in N usage. If that rate reduction were applied to all the cotton, corn, and wheat grown in the United States, CO2 emissions from N fertilizer production would be decreased by 2.7 million tons.
