I CAN Believe It's Not Butter
By Daniel Meyer
I was going to post this picture without comment. Butter-flavored syrup (which clearly contains no traces of actual butter) is a product just ridiculous enough to not require introduction or description. Or so I thought. But then I tasted it.
The problem with Krasdale's "buttery" syrup is not that it's totally repulsive, but that it's kind of delicious (in the same way that Top Ramen with two seasoning packets is delicious). I have parted ways with many of my childhood food desires, but there must still be a portion of my tongue (if not my brain) that remains susceptible to these crunchy-salty, sugary-sweet lab experiments that all-too-often pass as "food", especially to kids.
I am fortunate to enough to be able to cut myself off from butter-flavored syrup after just one drop, as tasty a drop as it was, because I know that it's horrible for me, that there's such a thing as real maple syrup that comes from trees, and that you can make your own (much better) version of Krasdale's product by melting a pat of real butter in real syrup. But imagine if you weren't lucky enough to know those things. You might never see a reason to stop. And that's even more alarming than butter-flavored syrup itself.
Garden Candy
By Edward Schneider
I've said before that it gives me a thrill to pick and immediately cook produce from my father-in-law's garden in the UK. I'm a city boy and the son of city folk: my father was born on Manhattan's Lower East Side, and, although my mother's parents kept a few chickens in their yard outside Czestochowa, Poland, their emigration to Brooklyn when my mother was twelve marked the end of animal husbandry for them. So, I am innately ignorant of tilling the soil. My limbs, like those of Mrs. Sullen in George Farquhar's 1707 comedy The Beaux' Stratagem, were not made for leaping of ditches and clambering over stiles. Much less for hoeing and weeding.
But I've long harbored the illusion that, apart from die-hard Londoners (who are just as bad as us New Yorkers), Britons are universally garden-mad and raised to be familiar with small-scale agriculture centered on a quarter-acre behind the house or in a public plot (an allotment). Some of you who have read more than a few of my posts will know that Jackie's father has always been an enthusiastic horticulturalist whose big garden yields everything from fennel to rhubarb to elderflowers. Granted, when he bought the house, back in the 1950s in a then-new suburban development, he picked the one with the largest garden, but all the houses in his neighborhood sit on pretty substantial parcels of arable land.
Sunday Supper: Pasta with Pork Ribs
If after a summer of barbecue you're looking for something else to do with those spare ribs, this pasta will do them justice (and then some). Adapted from How to Cook Everything.
Andrea's Pasta with Pork Ribs
Makes: 4 servings
Time: 11/2hours
One of my favorite pasta recipes, a Neapolitan specialty—taught to me by my old friend Andrea—that can make just a few ribs go a long way.
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 small dried hot red chiles (optional)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
6 to 8 meaty spareribs, separated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes with the juice
1 pound ziti, penne, or other cut pasta
Freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese (optional)
1. Put the oil in a deep, broad saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add the chiles if you're using them and the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the ribs and raise the heat to medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until the ribs have browned and given off some of their fat, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, crush the tomatoes with a fork or your hands, and add them to the pot.
2. Turn the heat to medium or medium-low—enough to maintain a nice steady bubbling, but nothing violent. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the ribs are very tender, nearly falling off the bone, about 1 hour. Remove the chiles from the sauce if you used them. (You can make the dish ahead to this point; cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Gently reheat before proceeding.)
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Cook the pasta until tender but not mushy. Drain it and sauce it; serve a rib or two to each diner along with the pasta.Pass the grated cheese at the table if you like.
No More Foreign Oil!
By Kerri Conan
This time of year, Kansas is usually lousy with sunflowers. Precisely what you'd expect from "the sunflower state." Several small-headed varieties grow from ditches and cracks in the pavement, while fields of commodity plants—with their massive faces and sturdy stalks—bow in the wind like a battalion of chorus lines. Here in the eastern part of the state, where the weather has been strange even for tornado alley, we're not getting many blooms this year. Fortunately, our co-op in Lawrence started carrying local sunflower oil this summer: So everything is coming up golden in the kitchen.
Bainter is the producer, from the small town of Hoxie. Maybe I'm stretching the standard "local" radius a bit. But in this case—since single-source cooking oil is a rare foodstuff in America—I'm counting 333 miles across my beloved state as nearby. Bainter oil isn't cold pressed, but claims to be refined without chemical solvents. I believe it. The slightly cloudy color is the shade of melted butter, with a moderately assertive balance of grassy, floral, and nutty flavors. The viscosity doesn't turn your mouth furry. And to my pleasant surprise the oil doesn't smoke, burn, or go bitter when super-heated. If you have to ask about the price, you can afford it. This is the Midwest after all. Check out the company website. (And while you're there, feel free to add a piece of Bainter's patented hydraulic farm equipment to your shopping cart.)
Cook the Best Food in the World at Home
This morning I recreated dishes from Copenhagen's Noma (recently named the best restaurant in the world) on the Today Show.
A New Way with Tomatoes
By Laura Virginia Anderson
It's gotten to the point of the summer where I'm getting a little tired of my go-to recipes for the vegetables from my CSA share. Don't get me wrong; I still love slow-cooked Greek-style green beans (one of my friends describes them as "everything a green bean was meant to be," and I'm inclined to agree), beets baked in foil and then sautéed in garlicky olive oil with their greens, and ripe tomatoes and peaches sliced and eaten raw with a splash of sherry vinegar and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. It's just that these dishes no longer thrill—they've become almost banal, a weekly occurrence.
So I'm trying to inject a little creativity into the process of cooking and eating my vegetables and fruit. This week, I received a pint of lovely little cherry tomatoes in addition to four soft, heavy slicers. The thought of eating them all in salads didn't appeal, nor did that of broiling them with herbs or making tomato sauce. But then I noticed the bag of whole wheat flour sitting in my pantry, and one of those thoughts arose, one of those ideas that is either brilliant or idiotic, one of those recipe-notions that takes on a life of its own and demands to be made: tomato muffins.
"The era of cheap, abundant food is over."
There's a lot more to say about this, and I'll be saying as much of it as I can in the next few months (and years, I suppose), but my review of Julian Cribb's The Coming Famine is an opening salvo. The book is convincing, scary, and filled with details about things that most readers of this blog – and most people who consider themselves "substainabilists," to use an impossible word – already know, at least in broad strokes.
I'm not saying "buy this book," though it reads pretty well, especially for something so dense. I'm saying it addresses issues to which attention must be paid. The sad thing is that if you're reading this you probably are already paying attention.
This Week's Minimalist: Citrus-Almond Poundcake
A food processor makes this poundcake incredibly fast and easy; a citrus soak makes it unbeliebably moist and delicious.
How I Spent My Summer Vacation
By Clotilde Hryshko
Thanks and recognition goes to some of the friends of my daughter Marya – Ellie, Gabe, Kim, Marya and Nick – for their efforts on the wood stacking and garlic harvest. These jobs are perfect for the young teens – a chance for some money, camaraderie, and that critical opportunity to do a job and see its completion. I'm sure they won't remember them as the best days of their vacation but the other parents and I will continue to be smug about its importance.
My summer vacation is really more of a flip-flop. Jim took the girls away for 10 days. They traveled to Alaska where he has a brother and a sister. They camped and went salmon fishing, meeting up with more family. Marya caught 2 fish this year and the youngest, Yelena, caught one (fly-fishing).

Hi, George.
Could you please be more specific about the circumstances surrounding this issue?
Perhaps you try to restore the backup on demo.moodle.net to see if the problem is with the system or with the backup itself.
Hello Michael,
How to restore the backup on the demo.moodle.net site? I have registered as username with georchen. Please allow me to restore the course.
Please ignore the previous message. I can login as a demo teacher. I will let you know once the course is restored.
Hi Michael,
My client has upload the course at http://demo.moodle.net/course/view.php?id=625
Please look into the WYSIWYG editor of this course and let me know, thanks.
Hi, George.
Unfortunately this site resets every hour. Perhaps you could capture screenshots. We really need more to work with here.
Hi Michael,
I have get my client approved and created an account for your at
here is your login information
my client complained about the WYSIWYG editor not working on this.Please let me know if you have any questions
Hi, George.
The Moodle auto-format isn't supported in 2.x.
To get the editor working, change the format option below the editor to HTML format, save the configuration, then edit the configuration again.
Hi, Eloy.
Can we change the "Moodle auto-format" to "HTML format" in an upgrade/restore?
I think that the cause for this is that, in 1.9 (and its backups) we didn't have all those xxxformat fields that are everywhere in 2.0.
So, surely, in the conversion we are defaulting to FORMAT_MOODLE or to "nothing" that also leads to FORMAT_MOODLE.
Perhaps we could try some sort of format detection in the conversion process, I've to check that with David.
Surely the detectors won't be 100% accurate but I think that looking for some html tags we could get a good number of FORMAT_HTML detected. The ones not detected will need to be solved by hand (with the workaround commented above).
Firstly, regarding "The Moodle auto-format isn't supported in 2.x." - that is not true. Of course the "Moodle auto-format" is supported in 2.x, as well as "Plain text" and "Markdown" are. They just do not have wysiwyg intentionally as their users prefer plain text areas.
Eloy is right, this sounds like a result of the format detection during the backup conversion. The 1.9->2.1 backup converter follows the same pattern as the upgrade code does: usually using something like
if ($CFG->texteditors !== 'textarea') {
$data['intro'] = text_to_html($data['intro'], false, false, true);
$data['introformat'] = FORMAT_HTML;
So most of the places from 1.9 are supposed to be migrated into FORMAT_HTML if the TinyMCE was enabled during the migration / upgrade.
George: is it that the HTML editor disappeared from all fields in the restored course? Or just from some of them?
David,According to my client's response, it happened from all fields in the resorted course.
George, can you please send me that ZIP backup to email@example.com so that I can try to reproduce the problem and analyze the contents of the backup file. Of course I won't share the backup nor will provide it to 3rd parties.
Hi all, any progress on this issue?
Is there a way to change all "Moodle Auto-Format" to "HTML Format"? We have migrated hundreds of M1.9 courses and wish to avoid tutors having to manually change every page to HTML format.
We are in the process of migrating instructors over to Moodle 2.2 and this issue still persists (restoring from 1.9). I've found that this is regularly happening with Pages (like Craig mentioned). With hundreds of courses being moved over, we are going to have some big trouble with our faculty if they have to use this work around to get this squared away.
David or Eloy, is there anything I can do to help move this forward? I'm not a developer but I can sure help with testing and providing more details on this.
I just tried to look at http://sandbox.cteched.net/course/modedit.php?update=48&return=0 (the link that George Chen added above on 09/Sep/11 4:47 PM) and I can see the TinyMCE editor displayed there normally.
Can you send me some 1.9 course backup where this can be reproduced? If you don't want or can't share the course, send it to my email firstname.lastname@example.com (I won't provide it to the 3rd parties). When sending the source, please append the instructions to reproduce - ie what module (Page etc) does not work after the restore for you.
Anybody else experiencing this problem who could provide a backup to reproduce?
Many thanks to Justin Litalien for the excellent steps to reproduce provided in email. I was finally able to reproduce the problem in restored 1.9 Resources converted to 2.x Page modules. And also I was able to track the problem pretty easily.
It turns out that this is the buggy code in moodle1_mod_page_handler::process_legacy_resource() method:
$page['contentformat'] = (int)$data['reference'];
This code was copied from the page_20_migrate() function but applied incorrectly for all resource types. But it must be applied only for 1.9 resources of the type "Plain text page" (that stores the used format in the "reference" field). The resources of type "Web page" must force FORMAT_HTML but the casting code above assigns the format to a value 0, that is FORMAT_MOODLE.
I'm working on the patch for this bug in resources. I'm wondering how this could be missed during the testing as it is pretty obvious problem...
Please note I was not (and still am not) sure if this report was originally meant for resources only or for HTML editors everywhere. I believe the most of places that are trying to calculate the format field are correct. So if you experience missing HTML editors EVERYWHERE in the restored course, surely the problem will be elsewhere.
Increasing severenity to Critical as this bug leads to data loss with no easy way of auto-repair.
I just submitted patches for 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3dev to be reviewed and hopefully integrated into this weekly builds.
Unfortunately there is no way how we could fix already restored resources in a safe way via the upgrade step. However, those who have hundreds of resources with this issue, may want to consider the following SQL:
UPDATE mdl_page SET contentformat = 1 WHERE content LIKE '%<%>%' AND contentformat = 1;
BTW I think I know how this was missed during the testing now. Testers just made sure that the restored pages are displayed correctly (and they are as "Moodle auto-format" displays HTML correctly) but they did not try to re-edit them.
Great work David, thanks for solving this one! I look forward to seeing this go live. Our campus tips its collective hat your way...
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Test result: Success. Great work. It was good to see this one come to a resolution.
I wish I said it every time
you do the things you do.
You always lend a helping hand,
and I'm filled with gratitude.
You are strong and generous
for each and everyone one of us.
I am eternally grateful,
I cannot say thanks enough.
Sorry for the (un)cool bit above, lol. Closing this as fixed. Ciao
We are just in the process of backing up 1.9 courses and restoring into 2.2.2 and have come across this problem in the Summary section of Assignments. Can this be reopened to address this?
Hi Susan,
Rather than reopening this issue, please create a new issue for the summary section of assignments. If you could provide a sample backup file, this would help developers to reproduce the problem easily.

The term "organic agriculture" refers to a process that uses methods respectful of the environment from the production stages through handling and processing. Organic production is not merely concerned with the final product which reaches the consumer. One of the main sources of general principles and requirements applied to organic agriculture at the international level is the Codex Alimentarius Guidelines for the Production, Processing, Labelling and Marketing of Organically Produced Foods. According to Codex: "Organic agriculture is a holistic production management system which promotes and enhances ecosystem health, including biological cycles and soil biological activity. Organic agriculture is based on minimising the use of external inputs, avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic agriculture practices cannot insure that products are completely free of residues, due to general environmental pollution. However, methods are used to minimize pollution of air, soil and water. Organic food handlers, processors and retailers adhere to standards to maintain the integrity of organic agriculture products. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.

Senegal is a country in the Sahel of 219.253 km², with a population nearing 9,240,000 inhabitants (1999). The agricultural sector is comprised of 6,990,000 inhabitants (1999), almost 75% of the population. The annual growth rate is 2.6% (1998). Agriculture plays a predominant role in the socioeconomic life of Senegal. The rural population active in agriculture represents 73.7% of the total Senegalese population active in the agricultural sector (2000). From 1990-95, agriculture contributed 20.8% to the gross domestic product (GDP): 10.6% for agriculture, 7.6% for animal breeding, 2.1% for fishing and 0.5% for forestry. Agriculture faces a number of ecological constraints, which vary from region to region. Some of these constraints include: salinity, acidity, erosion, wind erosion of the soil, unavailability of land for grazing, overgrazing, deforestation (resulting from population growth and from the destruction of land cover), desertification and the risk of a loss of equilibrium between freshwater and salt water. These problems, many of which are the result of poor agricultural management, are compounded by the precarious nature of the climate (weak and irregular rains) and threatened by agricultural exploitation. Furthermore, land degradation and a general threat to natural resources pose additional problems. At the social level, the policies ...

Report Shows Key Role of Tourism in Tackling Climate Change10/
Paris / Nairobi, 10 October 2011 - Greenhouse gas emissions from the global tourism industry are set to at least double in the next 25 years unless more low carbon, resource efficient policies are developed, according to a new report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The report, Climate Change and Tourism Policy in OECD Countries, recommends that stronger climate change mitigation policies and incentives be developed for the tourism sector. At the same time, it shows how ambitious mitigation pledges already in place mean the tourism industry can be a source of innovative solutions to climate change. The report also recommends that policy options on climate change mitigation need to reflect the wider context of the place of tourism in an individual country's economy. Drawing on the results of a survey sent to OECD member countries and selected non-members, the study finds mitigation has received more attention than adaptation and that national emissions reduction strategies relating to tourism won't be enough to bring the sector into line with the international community's overall objective of reducing emissions by at least 50% by 2050.Today, most energy for tourism is derived from fossil fuels, with the sector contributing an estimated 5 per cent to global greenhouse gas emissions. Aviation currently accounts for 40 per cent of tourism's CO₂ emissions, car transport for 32 per cent and accommodation for 21 per cent. Many governments and tourism organisations favour reducing the emissions from tourism in line with the reductions required of other sectors. Others, because of the structure of their economies, the importance of the tourism industry to national welfare, or their distance from large global markets, will seek to achieve net emissions reductions by combining tourism with other sectors. "Policy-makers must find the responses that are most appropriate to their own circumstances", said Arab Hoballah, Chief of the Sustainable Consumption and Production Branch at UNEP's Paris-based Division of Technology, Industry and Economics." This report, which underlines the magnitude of the challenges we face, provides relevant and useful information to that end. There is much to be learned, too, from examples of good practice."The report identifies how countries such as Austria, Germany, Ireland, and South Africa have shown that it is possible to identify current and future impacts and adaptation needs. It nevertheless concludes that the definition of adaptation goals and the implementation of policies are still in a developmental stage in virtually all countries. It also highlights key research gaps: How will heat stress in the Mediterranean affect tourism flows, for instance, or how sustainable is the development of snowmaking capacities as a measure to compensate for loss of natural snow?"Reducing the climate impact of tourist travel, facilities and activities is essential both for the sustainable development of this expanding industry, in line with overall climate policy objectives, and for the future of many of the very attractions which tourists seek and enjoy," said Alain Dupeyras, head of the Centre for Entrepreneurship (CFE) Tourism Unit at OECD. The report identifies water availability and quality as key issues, which also depend on how effectively greenhouse gas emissions are limited over the coming decades. The number of people facing water scarcity could rise by more than two billion in a 2°C to 3°C average warming scenario by 2100. Many of the assets tourism uses, such as lakes, rivers, snow and fresh water, will be affected, as may the broader socio-economic stability upon which tourism depends. Tourism is one of ten economic sectors covered in UNEP'S Green Economy Report, launched in February, which outlines how to boost economic growth while reducing environmental risks and improving human well-being and social equity.In the run-up to the United Nations Sustainable Development Conference (Rio+20) in June 2012, the UNEP/OECD study emphasises how government policy, industry initiatives and a wide range of green technologies can help tourism follow a low carbon, resource efficient Green Economy path, which would reduce energy use, greenhouse emissions and water consumption.The report highlights measures being taken in several countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the tourism industry:Austria*Austria is in the process of developing a national adaptation strategy, which can be expected in 2011*Research projects: Up to now 11 projects and studies focusing explicitly on the interrelationship between climate change and tourism have been conductedGermany *In 2007 the government adopted an ambitious energy and climate programme with 29 key elements, most of them relevant to tourism, particularly measures with regard to energy efficiency and renewable energy*In September 2010, the government announced a three-tiered departure tax for aviation, with effect from 1 January 2011Ireland*Fáilte Ireland, the National Tourism Development Authority, presented a strategy in 2008 to deal with climate change, focusing on seven key measures*Government incentives include investments in energy saving technology, and emissions-related Vehicle Registration TaxSouth Africa*An overarching framework for mitigation in sectors that contribute emissions of GHG is set to be finalised by the first quarter 2011*Government incentives: Renewable Electricity Feed In Tariff (REFIT) was introduced in 2009; Vehicle Emission Tax to be implemented in September 2010To view the UNEP/OECD report, Climate Change and Tourism Policy in OECD Countries, please visit:www.unep.fr/scp/publications or www.oecd.org/cfe/tourism For more information, please contact:UNEP Newsdesk on Tel. +254 207623088 or Email: email@example.com

Tough start to Champions League playoff for Canadian-flavoured Turkish squadIZMIR, Turkey (January 15, 2013) – Izmir Arkas, which includes four Canadian national team members, lost its opening playoff match on Tuesday in the men's volleyball Champions League volleyball tournament. Arkas fell to undefeated Belchatow, Poland in four set 25-22, 23-25, 25-20, 25-13 in the first of a two match series.
The tournament determines the top professional club in men's volleyball.
"They served really well tonight," said Glenn Hoag of Gatineau, Que., the mentor of Arkas IZMIR and also head coach of Canada's men's national team. "We had to play high balls but their block-defense system worked really well too. So we could not score as we had wished. Next week we have to play much better if we want to stand a chance in the return game".
Izmir, which also includes Canadian national team players Justin Duff of Winnipeg, Adam Simac of Ottawa and Gord Perrin of Creston, B.C., posted a record of four wins and two losses in preliminary round play for second position in its group behind Maaseik, Belgium which went undefeated with a 6-0 mark in the first phase.
Duff had a strong match with 10 of 12 points on spikes while Perrin ranked third in receiving at 57 percent and added three points and Simac earned two of his five points off the block.
"We feel ready for the second half of our European campaign,'' said Hoag. ''As the season got started we had to cope with a few injuries, but our players are coming back by the time it really counts the most".
The news wasn't better for Canadian national team veteran Dan Lewis of Oakville, Ont. His ACH Volley squad from Ljublana, Slovenia lost in straight sets to Cuneo, Italy 25-23, 25-17, 25-23. ACH Volley opened the season with two losses but rebounded with four straight wins to close the preliminary round.
Two other series also got underway Tuesday and two more start Wednesday. There are no other Canadians in the Champions League playoff.
The same teams meet each other again a week later and the total from the two matches determines the winner.

Is your child being "Cyber Bullied"?
Tips for Recognizing it and Stopping itby Alison Rhodes
As social networking sites and the internet become the "cyber playgrounds" for our kids today, the cyber bully is right there waiting to beat them up. Unfortunately, unlike the school yard bully of decades ago, who was limited to the kids in his or her school or community, this new breed of bully can extend the damage to hundreds and even thousands.
Today, over 87% of kids 10 – 17 are online and of these over 55% have an online profile. Cyber bullies are able to spread rumors, personal information and vicious attacks at the click of the mouse, all while remaining anonymous behind the cloak of a computer screen.
Cyber bullying is becoming an increasing problem and needs to be taken very seriously by parents and educators. According to a 2004 i-SAFE survey of 1,500 students in fourth through eighth grade:
As parents, we need to become involved on a daily basis with our children's online relationships and recognize when they are being bullied. It is not enough to rely on the government or websites to monitor this activity. It is impossible for them to verify identities and recognize when false information is being spread regarding your child. Become a "cyber savvy" mom, becoming your child's advocate and teaching them appropriate "cyber etiquette" will help to ensure their experience online is both enjoyable and safe.
Understand It: Cyber bullying can take many forms. It can include:
Identify It: Parents need to take an active role in their child's cyber life. Here are some ways to become "cyber savvy":
Stop It! As parents, not only do we need to take immediate action to stop cyber bullying but we need to arm our children with strategies to manage it and not promote it themselves:
As parents, we must be aware of what's happening online and take cyber bullying incidents very seriously.

"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience"
"These turned out fabulous. My wedding planner offered me save the dates at $3,000, and these were a tenth of the price and look even better! I upgraded to the higher quality paper and envelopes, but that's it! Everyone loves them and I'm getting compliments on the design. Cheers to our photographer for great photos, but these blew out my expectations."
"I am so very happy with how our save the date turned out. High quality paper and printing. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback and compliments from our family/friends. I highly recommend this card!!!!"
"I am so in LOVE with our cards! The ease of working with your team made this project so much more exciting. You all were able to customize my project as I requested without any problems!! The printing looks beautiful and full of color! Th

Another Italian classic from Hank Shaw. Enjoy! ~Elise
This is a classic dish from Venice, and it has many variations. Risi e bisi simply means rice and peas, and the dish is traditionally made with the fresh new peas of spring. If fresh peas are not available, you can easily make it with frozen peas (avoid canned). Diced prosciutto is important to this dish, although not vital; I've seen vegetarian versions of risi e bisi. How much to add? You could go as high as a half pound in this recipe, making the dish more of a main course. But 1/4 pound is a better proportion for a side dish. And it must be diced: Slices will not do. Can't find prosciutto? Use any ham. Virginia ham is an excellent substitute. Remember dry cured hams are salty, so the more you add, the saltier the dish will become.
Risi e Bisi, Italian Rice and Peas RecipePrint
You must use a medium-grain rice here. Ideally, you'd use a variety from Venice called Vialone Nano, but regular Arborio is just fine, and Carnaroli is good, too.
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 shallots, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 pound diced prosciutto or other dry ham
- 1 cup Arborio or other risotto rice
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 2 or more cups water
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the shallots and stir to combine. Let these sauté for 2-3 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, heat up the stock and 1 cup of water in a small pot. You want this at a simmer while you make the rice.
3 Add the garlic and the diced prosciutto to the pot with the shallots, stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Pour in the rice, stir again and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4 Ladle some of the hot stock into the pot and start stirring. Risi e bisi is cooked like risotto, and is supposed to be pretty soupy, so you need a lot of water and you need to stir it constantly. Let this first ladle of stock cook down before you add the next. Keep adding stock, letting it cook down and stirring until you're done with the simmering stock. It is likely that you may need at least one more cup of water to finish the dish, because all that stirring in an open pot means you evaporate more liquid than you would when you cook rice the normal way, i.e., covered. If you think you are going to need more water, add more to the simmering stock.
5 When you get to this last cup of water, add the peas. Keep stirring until the water has almost cooked away. Taste some rice and test for salt and doneness: Add a little salt and some more hot tap water if the rice is still crunchy – you want the rice to be a little al dente, but not so much you're gnawing on raw grain.
6 Add the parsley and the parmesan and mix well. Your finished rice should be slightly soupy, so it's OK to add a tad more water before serving.

By JAMES NOKES
WEST LAFYETTE, Ind. – The punt fake came deep in Northern Illinois territory.
The Huskies needed just one yard, and seldom-used running back Justin Anderson scampered ahead to secure NIU its first win over a Big Ten team since 1988.
The Huskies beat Purdue 28-21 on Saturday at Purdue behind a career day from running back Me'Co Brown.
Purdue used a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown by Aaron Valentin to take a 7-0 lead.
Valentin fielded the line drive punt and made a few salsa moves that sent him east and west at midfield. He then used an illegal block that went uncalled to eventually find green grass up the far sideline.
An interception by Purdue linebacker Jason Werner on the ensuing NIU possession looked like the Boilermakers were in business. But the Huskies defense held, and when the offense took over, NIU quarterback Chandler Harnish was poised in the pocket.
The Indiana native orchestrated a 14 play, 62-yard scoring drive that Chad Spann capped with a one-yard touchdown run that tied the game at 7-7.The NIU defense was again stout on Purdue's next possession and forced a punt.
A touchback gave NIU possession in its 20-yard line, where Brown ripped off a career long 67-yard touchdown run. Freshman wide receiver Martel Moore threw a key block, which allowed the sophomore running back to make a slick-jab step that tangled the legs of Purdue free safety Torri Williams. Harnish escorted Brown into the end zone but never had to throw a block as NIU took a 14-7 lead.
At this point NIU had 204 yards of total offense and Purdue had just 54. The Boilermakers needed to get something going and a punt to Valentin, who had a big return touchdown earlier, seemed to be the perfect tonic.
But, Valentin began a string of miscues that cost him hispunt returner job in the second half.
Tyrone Clark recovered a muffed punt by Valentin to give NIU possession. The teams traded fumbles as Spann coughed up the ball as he spun into the Purdue defensive line.
Valentin would set up the Huskies again at 3:03 of thesecond quarter as he fumbled a line-drive punt to give NIU possession at the Purdue 23-yard line. Below an avalanche of players, Kiaree Daniels recovered the fumble.
This time the Purdue turnover lead to a 10-yard touchdownpass as Harnish threaded a pass to Reed Cunningham over a pair of Boilermake rdefenders to make the score 21-7.
Spann added an 11-yard touchdown run and it looked like theroute was on for the Huskies with a 28-7 lead.
But Purdue quarterback Joey Elliott reeled of touchdown runs of 58 and six yards to make the score 28-21.

Greenfield boys basketball
The Hustlin' Hawks appeared to be in trouble on Dec. 4 against New Berlin West, trailing 44-28 early in the fourth quarter.
That's when Ricky Santiago went to work.
The senior guard poured in 25 points in the fourth period and two overtimes to help lift Greenfield to a 71-64 victory. He finished with a game-high 34 points, including 12 of 13 at the free throw line.
After falling behind by 16 in the fourth, the Hawks went to a press, and the tactic worked as Greenfield outscored West 22-6 in the rest of regulation.
The Hawks also hit five 3-point field goals down the stretch, including a pair from Santiago.
Regulation ended at 50-50, and the Hawks held a lead midway through the first overtime. West, though, forced a second extra session with a long 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Hawks then controlled the second overtime.
Sonnie Wilbert added 14 points as Greenfield posted its third Woodland Conference victory of the season.
On Friday, the Hawks led Pius XI 13-8 after one period, but the Popes outscored them 11-2 in the second, then went on to a 48-36 triumph. Wilbert led Greenfield with 10 points and Santiago put in nine.
Greenfield (3-2 in the Woodland and 3-4 overall going into this week) visits Shorewood at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14 and New Berlin Eisenhower at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18.
Hale boys basketball
After winning their first three games of the season, including a 77-69 triumph over Shorewood on Dec. 4, the Huskies finally met their match on Friday night when they fell to Marquette, 65-50, in the Greater Metro Conference opener.
Still, head coach John Palesse was pleased with their effort.
"I like the way we competed throughout the game," he said. "It was a four-point game at half, and the deficit was seven points with less than three minutes left in the game."
Derrick Waller led Hale with 16 points, while Travis Balcerzak added 12. Nick Sotiros tallied nine points.
Against Shorewood, the Huskies saw a 20-point lead slip to three, but they recovered to secure the victory.
Noel Crabtree finished with 27 points and hit 10 of 12 at the line, while Waller totaled 22 points and Balcerzak 19 points and five assists. Arthur Arena added eight rebounds and four points.
The Huskies (3-1 entering this week) welcome Brookfield East at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14 and visit Wauwatosa East at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18.
Central boys basketball
Sussex Hamilton handed the Bulldogs their first loss of the season with a 68-55 decision on Friday night.
The Chargers took an early lead before Central rallied within 46-41 at the start of the fourth period but then could not keep the rally going.
"We had some good looks," head coach Dave Mlachnik said, "but couldn't sustain a run at all."
Brandon Key collected 18 points, nine assists and three steals, while Jequan Carson totaled 10 points and Jaquan Martin 10 points and seven rebounds.
The Bulldogs visit Brookfield Central at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14, then welcome Marquette at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18.
Central girls basketball
Bria Brown collected a game-high 20 points as the Bulldogs posted their first victory of the season with a 36-23 triumph over Milwaukee Hamilton on Dec. 4.
"Bria had a very nice game for us offensively and defensively," head coach Dena Smith said. "Ashley Alvarado did a super job on defense."
Gabby Coto-Valentin tallied eight points and Rachel Sura six points.
Things did not go as well in the next game as Central lost, 64-10, to Sussex Hamilton on Friday. Sura led with four points.
The Bulldogs (1-3 going into this week) host Brookfield Central at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 13, then visit Divine Savior Holy Angels at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18.
Whitnall wrestling
The Falcons dropped Greenfield, 49-21, in a Woodland Conference dual meet on Dec. 5.
Posting pins for Whitnall were Anthony Senthavisauk at 113 pounds, Dylan Kellner at 132, Nick Monte at 145 and Ryan Olson at 152.
Whitnall next competes at the E.H. Stech Invitational at West Allis Central this weekend.
Greenfield wrestling
The Hustlin' Hawks captured third place in the Marquette Invitational on Saturday with 127 points.
Winning championships were Tom Friedbacher at 152 pounds and Turner Panich at 170 pounds.
Taking third were Tyler Dorfner (160) and Brandon Tolbert (220) and finishing fourth were Victor Castro (138) and Dawda Royal (182).
The Hawks lost a 49-21 Woodland Conference dual to Whitnall on Dec. 5 despite victories from Castro (pin in 3 minutes, 32 seconds), Dorfner (14-10), Alex Morton (forfeit) and Matt Braatz (forfeit).
Hale girls basketball
Powerful Divine Savior Holy Angels proved too much for the Huskies in a 67-32 loss on Friday night.
"I thought we made some major steps forward in our progression," head coach George Sotiros said. "It was the first game all year that I thought the players gave their hardest effort from the start through the finish."
Sarah Mueller led with nine points and pulled down six rebounds, while Rachel Seefeldt totaled seven points. Courtney Westhause had four points and three rebounds, Kara Placzek six rebounds and Delaney Mielke two assists and one board.
The Huskies also lost to Shorewood, 65-50, on Dec. 5 despite 11 points each from Seefeldt and Mueller and eight points by Rachel Milani.
Hale (1-4 overall entering this week) visits Brookfield East at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14 and welcomes Wauwatosa East at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18.
Greenfield girls basketball
This season, the Hustlin' Hawks have some obstacles to overcome.
"Our team is very young with limited experience at the varsity level," head coach Rob Graetz said. "The girls are starting to figure things out and adjust to the speed of the game, but it's still going to take some time. We are also limited in size as well."
The Hawks lost to Pius XI, 61-21, on Friday and to New Berlin West, 55-33, on Dec. 4. Against West, Dana Schwab scored seven points and Madison Kohl six points.
Greenfield, which was 1-4 going into this week, welcomes Shorewood at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14 and New Berlin Eisenhower at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18.

PARKER - Wil Keyser feared people would believe he was different when he was first diagnosed with diabetes.
Chris Moody had trouble acquiring a taste for diet soda.
Keyser and Moody are Type 1 diabetics and both are starters on the Chaparral basketball team.
Now, neither player is reluctant to admit they have diabetes, hoping that might encourage younger diabetics to participate in athletics.
"This will help little kids who might read this because they will see if we can do it, they can do it," said Keyser.
Keyser was diagnosed with diabetes five years ago and uses a pump for the administration of insulin while Moody, who learned he was a diabetic three years ago, takes five shots of insulin a day with a pen.
Both players are religious about testing their blood sugar levels.
"I test every chance I get," said Keyser. "I test before and after games. I always have Gatorade with me."
Both players need to make sure sugar levels don't dip too low during practices and games.
"The coaches know and I'm sure my teammates know," said Keyser. "And Chris and I have each other's back. If one of us forgets to bring Gatorade, the other will have some."
Besides worrying about getting too low during games, the adrenalin rush before a game can raise blood sugar which could result in sluggish performances.
"Before the Denver East game I was nervous and had butterflies," said Moody. "I really had to watch myself and took a test on the bench."
Moody, a 6-foot-5 sophomore, is the team's second leading scorer with a 12.3 scoring average and is the team's top rebounder with a 7.6 average.
Keyser, a 6-5 senior, is averaging 8.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.
"They both are aware of what's going on and they are like coach `I've got to go' and they'll leave practice for a quick second and come right back," Chaparral coach Rob Johnson said. "They do a good job with the disease. It's kind of been nonexistent."
Johnson is pleased that Moody and Keyser are playing on his team.
"They are both 6-5 and are athletic," he said. "Chris is a young upcoming star. He's a really good player. Keyser is a third year starter so he's had a heck of a high school career."
Neither Moody nor Keyser were held out of athletics after learning they were insulin depended diabetics.
"When I look back I never hesitated to let Wil step back on the court after he was diagnosed, even though as a parent, it was scary," said Wil's mother Cathy Keyser. "But through education, I realized that athletics is a great thing as far as control. I guess the hardest part for Wil regarding basketball is managing his blood sugar level before a game and during the game to be at the right level and not be too high or low.
"Wil is truly my hero the way he lives with Type I diabetes and manages it. I think sometimes these things are only given to the people that can handle it. Being diagnosed with Type I is truly life changing."

Bills top 20 talents: No. 11 - Jerry Hughes
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 11 2014 6:00PM
When the Buffalo Bills pulled the trigger on an offseason trade that sent away a young linebacker for an underperforming former first-round pick, it would be hard to imagine they thought they'd be getting as good of a return as they did. Desperately in need of a quality pass rushing option opposite Mario Williams, the Bills rolled the dice on a player that many felt was a bust.
Now with a year under his belt, the player that comes in at number 11 has the required raw skill level, on the field results and potential impact that ingrains him on to this list. He proved last year that he's another force off the edge and quieted the doubters of his last stop.
DE Jerry Hughes
: 25 (8/13/88)
: 6'2"
: 254
Why he's here:
- The Bills traded Kelvin Sheppard for Hughes and the overwhelming return was almost immediate. Hughes had one of the best off seasons and training camps of any member of the team, and it had most wondering why he didn't have any success in Indianapolis. Displaying a sound knowledge and array of pass rushing moves, Hughes has shown that he can get to the quarterback in the NFL. A career high in sacks (10) last season is just proof that Hughes may finally be getting it, and he's turned that season into another offseason in which he's borderline unblockable. If he has another high quality season to go along with his skill level, he could be quite higher on this list this time next year.
2014 outlook:
- Hughes is likely in line for an enhanced role with the Bills in 2014. They didn't really know what to expect from him last year, and got a more than competent pass rusher that could chip in on the run on occasion. It might not be fair to expect Hughes to be an every down player, which likely paves the way for Manny Lawson to get some snaps on run downs. However, with another big season against the pass Hughes can not only put to rest his "bust" status from Indianapolis, but he can go into free agency next March as a hot commodity.

Dallas is on a huge kick to become the face that the sport of mushing desperately needs. Not sure who is helping him put this all together but it's pretty awesome. Can't wait to see more! - http://youtu.be/_NXc44GZGEY

Good luck to him! When you think about it, mushing is a truly American sport (or North American? I guess it must also be done in Canada), and it deserves to have wider acclaim. It certainly seems from what you've told us, Toni, that this guy is mushing aristocracy and the obvious one to carry the torch for the sport. How great that you're going to get to play a role in this! Go, Alaska.

Dallas is a kick, completely passionate and knowledgeable... he's a couple years younger than I am but I'm a huge fan and he's an inspiration. He could've been in Bejing as an Olympic wrestler but an injury killed that dream, so he went for his next goal a little earlier than planned. When I worked for him with argued like siblings. The Seavey Family is AWESOME, and Dallas is carrying the torch - much in teh same way his grandfather helped carry the torch to get the race started 40+ years ago.
Toni, I just went over to Wiki to do some research, and Dallas's article is really meager. You might want to figure out a way to edit it. (I don't know how Wiki works in terms of who can edit it--do you have to register? sign in? It might be worth finding out.) For many casual researchers, it's the go-to source for general investigation, and Dallas deserves to be better represented on it. There's nothing of his personality, or the personality of mushing, in the article. A fuller Wiki article could be great PR for Dallas on a site where more people are likely to find him.
I'll suggest it to his wife - who I think is the brains of his online persona - as I honestly haven't figured out wikipedia editing. lol
I think the best way to research him at the moment *might* be facebook: http://www.facebook.com/dallasseavey1

I figure it would be the perfect venue for you guys. It's already there, and it has a built-in audience. Just as a for-instance, recently I was poking around and ended up in the article for Keanu Reeves. It gives quite a bit of information that conveys his personality, quotes surprisingly favorable reviews of the time he played Hamlet onstage (I know; knock me over with a feather), and generally explains why he is a person who draws people's attention. By comparison, I've learned more about Dallas from your posts than I have from this supposed encyclopedia article that should be presenting him to the world. We all love GS, but let us be frank: more readers are apt to find Wiki in a week than will read Le Cafe in six months. Envision some kid doing research for a school project. You'll have more mushing fans in no time!
Toni, what might be valuable in general - if you're willing to do it - is to upload some of your Iditarod photos (I assume you have some? ) to Wikimedia with a creative commons license. There's a lot to choose from for current figure skaters because Dave Carmichael is always adding pictures, but not so much when I edit other things, which is a shame.
I only have the ceremonial start... not really the race...
there just aren't a lot of online sources for dog mushing... :-/

When ETS Cancels Your Scores
As much as possible, ETS scores tests to accurately reflect the performance of every test taker. Accordingly, ETS's standards and procedures for administering tests have two primary goals:
- giving test takers equivalent opportunities to demonstrate their abilities
- preventing test takers from gaining an unfair advantage over others
To promote these objectives, ETS reserves the right to cancel any test score when, in ETS's judgment:
- a testing irregularity occurs
- there is an apparent discrepancy in a test taker's identification
- the test taker engages in misconduct
- the score is invalid for another reason
Reviews of test scores by ETS are confidential. For any reason, when ETS cancels a test score that has already been reported, it notifies score recipients that the score has been canceled. It does not disclose the reason for the cancellation unless authorized to do so by the test taker.

OK I'm adding Martin D to the watch list as we discussed few months ago. Martin please let me know what you think, thanks!
Assigning this to Dongsheng... my +1 for it (18_STABLE, 19_STABLE and HEAD). Ask MD for confirmation, please.
Thanks for report and patch Wen!
Quick comments: take out the inline styles (must be in theme), and: would this get big in other languages? Can we not use alt tags or something similar for JAWS?
The inline styles are taken out from the file, put a new patch here.
It seems nobody oppose the new patch, see I committed the improvement. Feel free to reopen. Thanks
Dear Dongsheng, just my $0.02, I think you added the changes in styles_layout.css at the bottom, maybe in the future we could add it to corresponding sections in the styles_layout.css as there are many sections in styles_layout.css? For this change maybe it should go into the admin section? Just my humble opinion...so if I may I'm reopening this one for now so that we could add the
#add, #remove {
width: 100px;
height: 35px
#add {
text-align: left;
#remove {
text-align: right;
to the *** Course section (around line #1729), what do people think? Thanks!
I'm not sure this change is a good idea.
It takes more space on the screen, and let less place for usefull information
Would it be possible to put these as Alt text, as MartinD suggested ?
And the text is not entirely shown (see attachment)
hmm, I like it - I had problems with the old arrows in "non-standard" browsers
This fix was mainly to address "accessibility" issues (for screen readers like JAWS), although it might have some pros and cons with "usability". I guess more and more universities will be following similar accessible technology initiative like the CSU one (see: http://www.calstate.edu/accessibility/), which is why I would vote to keep this fix in the core (to reduce trouble for most schools to have to keep this as their local customization). Just my 2 cents.
Séverin, which Web browser with what resolution did you use to generate that cut-off "remove" button for your screenshot? Just curious.. thanks!
Yes don't revert, because
1) Different languages can choose appropriate strings there (including "" if they must).
2) The cutoff thing looks like a CSS bug perhaps? It can probably be fixed.
Sorry for the late answer, didn't see all comments.
I think i was tired when putting this comment : it's related to group assignment
I've just tested latest CVS version, with Firefox 3 (i was using 126.96.36.199 when putting my first comment), and there are no alignment problem in role assignment, and text is all visible
But, for group assignment, problem is still there : text isn't all contained (in french), and the arrows are not the same (the two on the left) as in role assignment (one arrow on the left, the other one on the right). Would be good if interface was consistent
I attached another patch here, it fixed the button in group assigning page, tested in French, English and Chinese.
Dongsheng, I don't see any changes in that patch (except for white space) ... is something missing?
No probs, can you also look at the Bulk user actions screen to see if it's possible to use the same screen there? admin/user/user_bulk.php
Dongsheng - I've added a screen shot of the bulk user action page so you can see what it looks like which is very similar to what you've been doing in fixing up this one. I'll had that this issue has some type of relationship to
MDL-13557 Peace - Anthony
If Dongsheng is able to work on the bulk user actions page (/admin/user/user_bulk.php) it will help to improve the consistency of the user interface and thus help address the question of
MDL-13557's UI
I removed the space in add/delete button, and align the text in the center of the button, not sure if this is the best practice, because different language has different length.

Man In Critical Condition After Stabbing
A man is in critical condition after police say he was stabbed several times in Yakima this afternoon.
Police say it happened around 1:45 at an apartment on the 200 block of North Second Street.
Officers say the victim is a 28 year old man, and was taken to a local hospital.
The suspect is a 42 year old man who lives in the apartment -- police say overdosed on over the counter medications and was found unconscious inside the apartment.
The suspect was later released from the hospital following medical treatment and booked into the Yakima County Jail for investigation of first degree assault.
Police say the stabbing occurred as the two men got into an argument earlier in the day.
Police say they are still piecing together the events that lead up to the stabbing.

Lovingly Yours, CD (£7.43)
Lovingly Yours - don't tell me that Millie is going all romantic on us all of a sudden??? Uh uh - right from the first track it's "You Can't Turn Me Off (In The Middle Of Turning Me On)" and some more good advice from the ballsy Ms. Jackson. This 1976 Brad Shapiro production continues Millie's exploration of sexual politics, as she once more takes on the role of president, war minister and secretary for the state of affairs. Female backing vocals are handled by Brandy and the male side by The Moments on these 10 superb sides, which include songs from Homer Banks and Allen Toussaint among others.
