12/9 - 7/10
A group show featuring:
We will show you an exhibition without a specific theme. Instead the works presented will be thrown in several different directions without the want to communicate or work towards a common goal.
Since the works included in this show has no connection, why tempt fate and bring them together?
We have long wanted to do a show that was relaxed, and challenged the familiar, namely group exhibitions with a common theme.
Can't you also get a great art experience, if the artworks are allowed to communicate in their own language, without any authority deciding the meaning or context?
We have tested the hypothesis, and tried very hard to show you one way to bring it all together, though nothing fits together. Controlled chaos may be one way of describing it.
We feature works by both living and deceased artists who have, and have had a great impact on contemporary art.
We hope that you will come and witness an exhibition where there is neither a fine display text or historical angle to tie the works together. There are 'only' the works of art, eager to communicate their own expression, freely and limitless. We believe that you will be surprised as to how well it works. For once, we want you to go and see an exhibition, where informal is the attitude we appreciate. Just enjoy the works as they are, directly, and with your own subjective guideline as defining instrument.
"The unpretentious show"
A group exhibition that displays 18 works from 12 different artists living and dead,
with no specific theme to bind them together

Galleri Benoni is a gallery with an ambitious yet relaxed atmosphere.
We aim to present contemporary artists working within a wide range of mediums.
We seek out art that excels in 4 parameters: Artistic skill, process, theme based approach and C.V. We will exhibit both Danish and international artists. We love many art genres, and will not confine the gallery space to one art form.
Instead we will welcome everything from underground Street Art, to a more pleasing aesthetic, and even show varying types of minimalism. We aim to uphold meaning, and a constant red thread, despite our diverse choice of Shows/exhibitions.
We will highlight work that equally emphazize skill & process. The works you can expect to see in our gallery aims to amuse, and engange viewers on a sentient emotional and inspirational level.
We want to include, rather than exclude. We welcome you to visit Galleri Benoni.
If you are an artist you are welcome to send us information about your work.
Although we cannot promise to answer every inquiry due to an overwhelming interest.

LANSING (WKZO) -- The Michigan House approved two bills Friday to create a special designation on state driver's licenses and IDs for military veterans. House bills 4037 and 4287 passed unanimously, and now head to the Senate for approval.
The aim of the bills is to give veterans with proof of an honorable discharge an easier way to show they are qualified for certain services and resources. If approved, Michigan will become the 28th state to offer the designation for veterans' identification.

When the Ottawa Senators face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday, it appears that Milan Michalek will be in the lineup.
According to the Ottawa Sun, Michalek, who has missed the last 10 games will suit up for the Senators.
Michalek, who has two goals and six assists in 13 games this season, is reportedly not fully recovered from his knee injury, but he'll still try to bolster a Senators' attack that hasn't scored more than three goals in any game since he's been out.
The club has posted a 5-3-2 record in his absence.

Columbus police identified a man accused of opening fire on motorists as they traveled through Columbus on a Georgia interstate as Timothy Delbridge of Columbus.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Wayne Smith said Delbridge has undergone surgery for at least one gunshot wound to his shoulder. Hospital officials told The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer (http://bit.ly/10PcomG) that Delbridge was in unsatisfactory condition in the intensive care unit.
Reasons behind the gunfire remained unclear.
Police say responding officers cautiously approached a vehicle on the side of Interstate 185 Monday afternoon, but couldn't tell if there was anyone inside. Police say the suspect had his seat reclined.
Smith says the officers spotted the suspect inside the vehicle when they got up close. Smith said he brandished a weapon, so officers shot him.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Monday, July 23, 2007
Don't you feel like this dish should just ::wink:: and do a little sexy twirl? Such a flirty little thing!
"Asian Lettuce Wraps" or "Asian Lettuce Cups" is the most requested recipe on my site. I've updated the recipe to be lighter, more refreshing and healthier. No goopy cornstarchy sauce! Sorry, P.F. Chang! You can make a vegetarian version – just substitute crumbed tofu, more vegetables or even plain rice for the ground turkey. Traditionally, the recipe includes canned water chestnuts, which honestly taste like crunchy styrofoam. Instead, I've used crisp diced green apples – which is much tastier.
The mung bean noodles look clear and transparent when dried and puff up in just a few seconds time when fried. They are NOT "rice noodles" – when in doubt, look at the ingredient list on the back. It should say "mung beans."
Hey…who's stealing my apples?
Asian Lettuce Cups Recipe
Ingredients:The Sauce:
1-1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauceFilling:
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 stalks, scallions
1 pound ground turkey or chicken
2 cups mixed vegetables (frozen pea/carrots, finely diced bell peppers, etc.)
1/2 green apple, finely dicedToppings/Wrap:
1 head boston bibb lettuce, leaves washed and separated
2 skeins, Mung Bean Noodles
2 medium carrots, Use vegetable peeler to peel cut carrot into paper thin strips. Use knife to further cut into super duper thin strands. Or, use the handy kitchen gadget <- I like this gadget
1. To fry the mung bean noodles, heat a wok or small sauce pan (something not too wide at its base. the smaller the base width, the less oil you will need to use) with about 2 inches of cooking oil. While oil is heating to 375F, use your hands to separate the strands of the mung bean noodle into small clumps. When oil hot, fry one batch at a time. It should only take 10 seconds to fry. Remove, drain on paper towels.
2. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
3. To make the filling, heat wok on high heat with cooking oil. When oil is hot, add scallions, ginger and garlic and fry a few seconds until fragrant. Add turkey or chicken and fry until almost cooked through. Add the vegetables and cook 1 minute. Add sauce ingredients. Let simmer for 1 minute to thicken slightly.
4. Add the apples. Toss to coat. Immediately remove from heat. You don't want to "cook" the apples - keep them nice and crunchy. Serve with lettuce cups, carrot shavings and fried mung bean noodles.
Kitt's comment below just reminded me of the great weekend we just had with my baby birds.
Fighting for "THE BITE."
Andrew is taller, he has the advantage.
But Nathan has sharp teeth
And swoops in for the kill
Did I scold him? Hell no. Smart strategy I say!
Yum! These snacks look both more-ish and healthy! Hehe – I think I would be fighting your kids for a bite of that as well
Looks extremely yummy!! I think it will taste good with Thai Sweet Chili sauce too!
Terry- my eyes are watering just thinking about those potatoes!
Nora- I like water chestnuts + shrimp in dumplings too. And you are right – it stays crunchy. Too bad it doesn't have much taste.
Chris- Thank you!
Coffee- Can you believe these two little guys already have girlfriends???
W&S- watch out….Nathan really does have sharp teeth
Lemongrass- yes! I will try that next time
These totally beat my wraps, I'm trying your recipe!
Hey hot stuff, I'm TAGGING you! Post 8 random facts/habits about yourself and then tag 8 other bloggers to do the same by listing their names in your post and then leaving them a comment on their blog! Looking forward to learning more about you!
This came out great!
Awww sweet photos!! Your little boys are adorable, I could have sworn they were twins too. And I love the lettuce cups – turkey with green apple? Sounds like my kind of meal!
YUM! Just found your blog – so many tasty delights, I'll be back!
Pingback: Book of Yum - Blog
Ohh… *blush* The above is the link from my blog. Thanks so much for including gluten free modifications for your recipe- I modify recipes all the time but it's nice to have that step taken out for me. I also LOVE the rooster sauce. I don't actually eat meat, but I bet this would be tasty with tofu as well.
Have you tried fresh water chestnuts? I know the canned ones taste like something that have been sitting in grandma's basement stewing for a few years, but fresh, peeled ones kick some major patootie. They're darned tasty. Jicama is also a surprisingly good substitute, although apple also sounds yummy.
I discovered your blog recently and am really enjoying it- you actually had me giggling over my computer screen with recent posts, so you can bet I'll be back. Thanks!

Okay your kids could not get any cute.
Also, my husband LOVES that rooster sauce.
My gosh golly gee – I thought he was only insane enough to use that.
When you say a squirt amount you do not lie.
That stuff will light up your life.
I made your lettuce cups last night for my husband, a friend and me, and WOW, what a success! My friend and I had just been running, and was the perfect post-run dinner! SO satisfying! I put my husband on mung bean frying duty and he was thrilled with how cool that was.
I love rooster sauce, but I usually have the garlic and chili sauce around (the kind you spoon out) instead of the plain chili sauce in the squeeze bottle, so I used that instead. I'm probably making this dish again next week.

Self-assessment - SIGI3
EXPLORE, EMPOWER, ENGAGE with SIGI3
The first stop on your journey to a career should be an examination or self-assessment of your interests.
- What types of things excite you?
- What types of jobs or careers appeal to you?
- What are your strengths?
- What do you value in a workplace setting?
What is SIGI3?
SIGI3 — short for System of Interactive Guidance and Information — is a special tool that can help you to plan your career and learn more about yourself. Among the features offered on SIGI3 you will find tools to help you research occupations, choose, change, or clarify a major, and evaluate your interests, skills, values and personality. You can access the system through Beaver Careers (Once in Beaver Careers, click on Resource Library on the left - Know Yourself - Login to SIGI3).
What can a computer know about me?
A computer is only a machine. It knows what you tell it; nothing more. That's why it's so important for you to think hard and respond honestly to the questions in SIGI3. Even if you are asked a question you've never really considered or that you find hard to answer, make the best choice you can. In this way, the career possibilities SIGI3 presents will be as germane as possible.
How do I use SIGI3?
Think of SIGI3 as a bag of tools. Each is useful for something - finding information you want, narrowing the list of majors and occupations appropriate to your desires, or help with ancillary things such as coping with the stresses of college life and resume writing. Each question you have about careers and work can be answered with some collection of these tools.
- To start using SIGI3, you will be prompted to create a user name if this is your first time to log into the system, as well as complete a short profile. Once you get to the Main Menu of SIGI3, with the words "What will you do with Sigi today?" at the top, you have the ability to choose between several options.
- Try starting with "Use an assessment tool". The more assessments you take, the more information the software will gather about you and the occupations that might fit your values, skills, interests, and personality.
- Once you've taken the assessments, you will see a list of suggested occupations. You also have the ability to search based on assessments you've already taken. This list will change if you retake your assessments and adjust your answers, but your suggested occupations will always be available to return to in order to research specific careers.
SIGI3 is a good resource for career development, but it can be helpful to discuss your results with a career consultant, your academic advisor, or a professor to get more information about your options. SIGI3 will not tell you what you should do, but what you could look into further. Career planning requires active engagement and exploration, and SIGI3 provides a starting place for that activity.
Other Career Assessments
Career Services offers other career assessments besides SIGI3 that many students find helpful in the process of learning more about themselves. Find out more about those assessments and how to get started.

Most alarming about Dodd-Frank and the rulemakings that have ensued is the very poor focus of that regulation. Yes, Credit Default Swaps caused problems in 2008, mostly because they were relied on and proved unreliable. No other category of derivatives caused problems except insofar as the prospect that one's counterparty in other swaps might fail because of its CDS positions. Nevertheless, Dodd-Frank and the regulatory agencies went after the entire enchilada. Overextended from dealing with the details of interest-rate, foreign-exchange and commodity swaps, too little attention is paid to CDS. Now well into the fifth year after the failures of 2008 and the third year since Dodd-Frank's passage, we are nowhere near obtaining the transparency and clearing needed for CDS products.
Clearly Dodd-Frank bit off more than the regulatory agencies have proven able to chew.

Breast-feeding didn't come easy at first for Sharalyn Webre, who struggled through five months with her first child.
But with more experience, patience and family support, feedings were less complicated with her next two children, including a baby girl born last week at Greater Baltimore Medical Center.
Now, for the first time, Maryland health officials are pushing all hospitals in the state to create policies to smooth the process for even more new mothers like Webre. They say breast milk is better for a baby's health and too many mothers are switching to formula feedings.
Officials hope that improving support for breast-feeding inside and outside the hospital will not leave mothers to figure out it for themselves. Recommendations include requiring lactation nurses at hospitals, promoting exclusive breast-feeding and encouraging immediate bonding between baby and mother. The state also wants hospitals to stop giving out free formula samples that they say may entice mothers to give up on breast-feeding in a moment of desperation.
"For some moms and babies, breast-feeding is simply just not a natural thing," said Fran Phillips, deputy secretary for public health services for the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which led the work group that developed the recommendations. "They need coaching. They need support from trained staff."
About 78.5 percent of mothers in Maryland, and 74.6 percent nationwide, initiate breast-feeding, but many find it harder than public service announcements may make it seem. Babies don't always "latch" to the breast correctly, and some mothers don't always produce enough milk. Keeping up with a baby's constant feedings can be tiresome.
It's not uncommon for some mothers to become overwhelmed and give up on breast-feeding altogether. Others may start to supplement with formula, which health officials say isn't ideal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization and others recommend that breast milk be fed exclusively to babies in the first six months and as a main source for the first full year.
While the state has made progress over the years in the number of mothers who initiate breast-feeding, that number dwindles as babies get older. In Maryland, only 45.2 percent of babies are still breast-feeding at six months.
Forty-year-old Webre said that when her first child was born eight years ago, she had trouble producing milk. The baby started losing weight and hospital nurses gave him formula as a supplement. The former child care provider, now a stay-at-home mom, believes that made it harder for him to breast-feed over the long run. When she got home, Webre said, she received little help around the house from her then-boyfriend, which made the time-consuming practice of breast-feeding hard.
Webre eventually married someone else, whom she calls more supportive. He is a strong believer in breast-feeding, so he helps around the house. When her second baby was born 20 months ago, she said, she felt less stress about breast-feeding.
"I had a lot more experience," she said. "I had a lot more know-how."
Webre gave birth to a third child last week and said that experience has also been much more pleasant.
"The antibodies they get from me are so much better than anything they will get from formula," Webre said. "Breast-feeding is an awesome thing to do, and I recommend other moms do it."
Scientific research has found that breast milk is the optimal food for babies, reducing the risk of infections and chronic diseases such as diabetes. Breast-feeding can also have health benefits for mothers, including lower rates of uterine and breast cancers. Even the formula makers say breast-feeding is the best choice and their products should be the alternative for women who can't.
Breast-feeding also has a positive economic impact: The CDC has found that low rates of breast-feeding add $2.2 billion a year to medical costs. The U.S. surgeon general has also made it a priority to increase breast-feeding across the country.
Many states such as Maryland are pursuing voluntary programs, while California and New York have policy mandates. Maryland's recommendations are based on 10 steps for successful breast-feeding created by The World Health Organization and UNICEF.
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene thinks the best way to improve the breast-feeding experience, and get more mothers to start the practice, is at the hospital level where most babies are born. They appointed a work group of hospitals, doctors and health experts to draft a set of guidelines for which they are now seeking public comment.
The state is recommending that every hospital have at least one board-certified lactation consultant and establish education programs for mothers before and after pregnancy. Education should include showing mothers how to get babies to latch properly and how to position babies on the breast correctly.
The state also wants hospitals to encourage exclusive breast-feeding and skin-to-skin contact between baby and mother right after birth. That means delaying birth and weight measurements until an hour after the birth. If babies don't breast-feed right away, the state recommendations say, formula shouldn't be used as a supplement. Instead, mothers should be encouraged to pump and feed babies breast milk with syringes.
Maryland seeks to improve support for mothers to breast-feed
Recommendations may include banning formula samples at hospitals and offering education programs

Newly elected presidents call for the reorganization of the federal government with such regularity that a federal Department of Reorganization should be established to assist them in their attempts to downsize the bureaucracy, eliminate redundant agencies, reduce red tape, cut costs, and tame the out-of-control agencies created and fed by the presidents elected before them. If you're earnest enough to think that those moves will actually reduce the size or cost of federal government, I've got a monument I'd like to sell you.
President Barack Obama originally promised to streamline federal bureaucracy in his 2011 State of the Union speech but only got around to specifics last Friday, as he requested new powers to merge agencies subject to an up-or-down vote by Congress. Obama's first target: the Commerce Department. He wants to meld the Small Business Administration and five additional trade and business agencies into one body that would replace the Department of Commerce. Obama promised savings of $3 billion over the next decade and to cut 1,000 to 2,000 jobs through attrition over the same period.
The presidential urge to reorganize goes back to Theodore Roosevelt, who established the Keep Commission in 1905 to bring efficiency and accountability to bureaucracy. Scholar Oscar Kraines admiringly called Roosevelt's attempt to remake Washington in his image "a bold step … to break down the long-existing aim and the tendency of Congress to retain full legislative authority in the management of the public business." According to political scientist Peri E. Arnold, 11 of 14 presidents elected in the 20th century attempted some sort of governmental reorganization. Congress rightly viewed the Keep Commission as a presidential power grab and has continued to contest similar presidential reorg plans by Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, the Bushes and Bill Clinton — who called his reorganization plan "reinventing government."
Jimmy Carter was probably the grabbiest of the reorg lot. Although he based his 1976 presidential campaign on reorganizing government to make it work better, once he got to the White House he merely expanded the bureaucracy, adding the Department of Energy and the Department of Education to the Cabinet. (He proposed both a Department of Developmental Assistance and a Department of Natural Resources, incorporating Interior and some agencies from Agriculture, but Congress said no.)
"Carter's determination to move ahead on cabinet-level reorganization despite the misgivings of many of his aides about both the value and political feasibility of the project is puzzling," wrote Ronald P. Seyb in a study of the Carter years. "Even the plan's strongest supporters conceded that it would do little to streamline the bureaucracy because of Carter's promise that reorganization would not require personnel reductions, realize cost savings, or generate noticeable improvements in administrative efficiency, and the political opposition it would provoke would be close to insuperable."

A: Food safety is an important part of the assessments that researchers conduct on herbicides. For your first question regarding herbicide residues, you might find it useful to look at a previous response on GMO Answers that addresses that question: http://gmoanswers.com/ask/if-roundup-safe-human-consumption-trace-amounts-food-then-it-safe-drink-it-if-not-where-line.

Answered By: John Vicini, Ph.D., Food Safety Scientific Affairs Lead, Monsanto Company, Friday, 8/30/2013 6:02 pm
A: No. Many studies are performed by independent scientists. In fact, a 2012 literature review by Snell et al provides a good summary of feeding studies with diets containing large amounts of GMO-derived ingredients (Snell C, Bernheim A, Bergé JB, Kuntz M, Pascal G, Paris A, Ricroch AE. 2012. Assessment of the health impact of GM plant diets in long-term and multigenerational animal feeding trials: a literature review. Food Chem Toxicol. 50:1134-48). This paper also... Continue Reading
Q: Can't research be manipulated to show any result? Or does it depend on who is doing the research (Monsanto with all of its financial resources, or anti-GMO activists)?

Answered By: John Vicini, Ph.D., Food Safety Scientific Affairs Lead, Monsanto Company, Wednesday, 11/13/2013 6:18 pm
A: It is not surprising that you are skeptical of some scientific results as there have been some high profile examples of fraudulent research in the recent past. One particular example that has caused much public debate was a study published in The Lancet that linked the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination with autism. After the study was published, major flaws were found in the study as was a conflict of interest with the study researcher. The journal retracted the... Continue Reading

A: It might surprise you to know that the majority of funding for research at universities is from the federal government. However, Monsanto does fund research with universities all across the United States. Not surprisingly, projects are funded at the universities with the talent that enables progress in the areas that support our projects. For instance, if we want to study weed management, we go to universities or scientists that are highly experienced in weed management.... Continue Reading

Fit Blogger We Love: Daily Garnish
Written on November 3, 2011 at 3:39 pm , by Samantha Shelton
While many are gearing up for the ING New York City Marathon this Sunday, Emily of Daily Garnish is in the midst of her own endurance race—raising her first child! Baby Cullen was born just 13 days ago and Emily is already itching to get back into her usual fitness routine. We asked this fit mom about her biggest fan and her bucket list goals.
On my fit life list: I want to beat my fastest marathon time (3:50) at least one more time. I was in the best shape of my life when I ran that race, and now that I've just had a baby, I feel extra motivated to get back into condition to run fast again!
I'm happiest when I'm: Outside and being active. Running, walking, hiking, exploring—I thrive in the fresh air!
Most embarrassing song I'll admit I work out to: "See You Again," by Miley Cyrus. It's so old and way too young for me, but I don't care. It got me through the final miles of my first marathon, and it's been my favorite running song ever since.
My "I Did It" moment: Running a 3:50 marathon in Cincinnati in 2009. I have never felt more proud and accomplished as a runner!
My biggest motivator: My husband motivates me to push myself beyond what I think I can do. He's been a huge influence in my ability to achieve goals that at one time seemed out of reach.

This is a guest post written by Keyzygirl from Key West, Florida. Laid back and vaping in paradise.
An E-Liquid Discussion
Cartos contain e-liquid (also known as liquid or juice), which is what you taste when using an electronic cigarette. Cartos can come pre-filled with liquid already in them, or blank – to fill with liquid yourself. If you're new to vaping, it can be confusing to decide which type of liquid to use. There are two main areas to consider; what you're looking for in a liquid and if you have any sensitivity to the ingredients in it. Most liquids contain PG (propylene glycol), VG (vegetable glycerin), flavoring and nicotine. PG and VG are used in many food products.

- Just greatLudo11Dined on 9/26/2014Live in the neighborhood and went for the first time after our engagement about a month and a half ago. Went again last night for my fiancé's birthday. Both times, the service & food were amazing and they made a special point of making our event special. Small place, so advanced reservations are a must, but well worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic ResturantchowgirlDined on 9/25/2014What a wonderful family owned neighborhood restaurant. Service was fantastic.Special Features:
- Joan's in the ParkenjoygoodfoodDined on 9/23/2014is truly a gem. Staff is incredibly gracious and the food is always excellent!!!Special Features:
- Great food in Highland ParkGoodFoodDined on 9/20/2014Our meal at Joan's was fantastic from beginning to end. The crab toast was outstanding and the beef tartare could convert anyone squeamish about eating it. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their meals, but those of us who ordered the filet especially loved every bite. This is not a quick, decent meal kind of place - the prices are worthy of a special night out and the wine list is very nice. Be sure to make reservations - it's tiny!Special Features:
- Excellent Food and ServiceKellynsDined on 9/20/2014My husband and I made a reservation based on a recommendation from my sister. We weren't disappointed. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, the courses were timed perfectly, and the food was amazing. We're already talking about when we'll go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- no thanks...OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014way too loud, very difficult to hear the person sitting next to me... it took 45 minutes before we placed our order and over 75 minutes before our food arrived. food was great, but the service and noise make it a place to skip..
- Simply amazing!JoEricVIPDined on 9/17/2014The service, food, and overall welcoming atmosphere makes Joan's a true neighborhood gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unforgettable Joan'sFoodChicDined on 9/16/2014What started as a birthday dinner amongst 3 sisters, ended as a spectacular evening of fine dining and amazing service. In my reservation, I had mentioned my sister's birthday and we were all charmed that the table came complete with Happy Birthday glitter shapes on the table, lending a decidedly festive air. The service was amazing, while not being interruptive. The food was just delicious with unique sauces and seasoning. The overall ambiance was cozy and charming for what looked to be a simple storefront venue. The big surprise at the end of the meal was a kindly stranger, who anonymously bought our bottle of wine for us as a birthday surprise! It was a first, and as middle-aged diners, totally unexpected! Joan's is great!Special Features:
- Great food - lots of noisefoodieVIPDined on 9/12/2014Wonderful food but the noise level is way too high to be enjoyable.Special Features:
- BrasstarDined on 9/6/2014The food and service were outstanding. My wife and I will be back. The ambiance (we sat inside) is a bit like being in someone's living room. Go there with local friends. Our waiter made the evening. His wine pairing suggestions were spot on. They have a bar but the location of it is such where you WILL want a table. In short, food and service this good deserve a better inside dining area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulMalkaDined on 9/6/2014We love joan's in the park, the delicious food, the wonderful (and personal) service, and the intimate atmosphere make this a perfect evening out. Definitely not a burger joint. This is where you go for a night out for a romantic evening with spouse, dinner with another couple, or a gathering of friends who enjoy high quality food and good conversation. It is a little pricey (but worth it) and not the place for energetic children.Special Features:
- Joan's in the ParkOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/6/2014We really appreciate this restaurant for reliably excellent food and service and - in summer - the outdoor patio. The staff make you happy to be there from the moment you walk in. The menu changes with seasonal produce availability and Chef Susan is creative with seasonings for the standards. I had the day boat scallops and for summer, they are paired with fresh corn. My dining companion had the brine soaked roasted chicken with raspberry walnut reduction. We had the chili-rubbed, grilled carrots as a side. Dessert was an apple-corn cake that was presented like a tres leche - and was a delightful new taste experience. Love this restaurant!Special Features:
- Worth a visitsatisfiedDined on 9/4/2014The food was well presented and imaginative. Loved the squash appetizer, the cranberry chicken and the pudding dessert. Check out the menu before you go.Special Features:
- Best food ever!VdizeDined on 9/4/2014Love Joan's ! I go there often . The food is phenomenal I can't believe joan and Susan have not been solicited to open up a chain. Fantastic service, you cannot beat this place. I am constantly craving their food and I'm not pregnant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All this from pizza ovens?AlmostredDined on 9/2/2014Absolutely impeccable from start to finish. This is the old Grandpa Tony's location on Snelling and I am flabbergasted that Joan's can successfully pull off their menu using only a pizza oven. My companion and I had two starters, two entrees and two desserts, and they were all unassailable. The patio is well appointed and our server was professional, yet unobtrusive. He was able to be (or not be) where I wanted him to be (or not be) when I wanted him to be (or not be) there. Spendy for two people, but worth it, considering the cr*p I've spent similar sums on elsewhere.Special Features:
- Yummy, friendly, attentive, specialdinerDined on 8/29/2014We went to Joan's in the Park to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had fine wine at the bar while we waited a reasonable time for our table. The restaurant is family owned and operated, it shows in the personal attention they gave us without being intrusive. The food was delivered to our table by the chef. It was unique but not weird, and very tasty. We were surprised with a complementary celebration dessert and the gift of a photo of the two of us. Joan's on the Park is our new favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities.Special Features:
- innovative menuFoodieinvernessDined on 8/27/2014It is very difficult to choose from all of the interesting items on the menu. We had a very large sampling. Everything was delicious, but we particularly liked the crab toast, the pork belly tacos and the lobster salad. The food is very rich so be prepared. Nice wine list. Wonderful serviceSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/27/2014It may have been a bit pricey but the food and service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/26/2014Fabulous food and wonderful service. What more could one ask for? The crab toasts were to die for. The scallops were crispy on the outside but melted in you mouth. The braes was warmly fantastic. I highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday girlSmokeyDined on 8/21/2014My first visit. Dining experience was beyond what I expected. Food was exceptional, service friendly and knowledgable. Expensive, but worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OccasionbadgersDined on 8/19/2014First time visit. Owners introduced themselves. Food was great and would meet the toughest food critic's standards. The evening culminated with a birthday cupcake (which we were too full to enjoy at the restaurant) and a commemorative photo. First-class restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional customer service!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014Would recommend this restaurant to everyone! Very good food with a very personalized feeling. The whole staff, from the servers to the owner, to the chef, were all so so friendly and accomodating. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinnerkca1988Dined on 8/16/2014Joan's is a gem. Service was great - approachable yet appropriate. Started with a loaf of homemade bread, brushed with butter. I had the carrot tartare - minced carrots, accompanied by hazelnuts, microgreens, and a nice vinaigrette. Partner had the heirloom tomato salad on top of brioche. Excellent. Entrees were the chicken which was the most succulent chicken we've had. It's a large portion, with the breast somewhat rolled, and the savory/sweet glaze was amazing. I had the salmon with lentils. I would have liked the salmon medium rare, so wanted a lighter hand on the sear but it was a nice dish. We split the browned butter pudding, a cross between crème brulee and panna cotta. Great N/A beer in Thomasbrau. We'll be back. Delightful place.
- Great food. Small portions.MarcDined on 8/15/2014We returned to Joan's for the first time in a long while since it isn't very close to where we live. The food was fabulous as usual, and we love the quiet atmosphere amid great lighting and pictures. While we don't mind paying higher prices for excellent food, 3 scallops for $29 was really a shocker. Two of the scallops were large, the third of average size, but considering it was accompanied by just a small corn relish, we both felt that the price was over the top considering the portion size. They were an absolutely delicious 6 bites, but we don't expect to fill up on their delicious, hot bread when we're paying $29 for an entree. The pork chop was large and perfectly prepared, but the carrot side at $11 for 4 carrots was too expensive.Special Features:
- WOW the foodDAC13Dined on 8/13/2014Driving up, this place does not inspire. The outdoor seating does not look like much at all, and the windows could use a clean. So i was mildly worried as it was our Anniversary. But they did several special things for us. A Picture and a free dessert wine which was excellent. The food was amazing. This is gourmet, fit for foodies. The flavors and tastes were wonderful. We shared the crab appetizer, the Kale salad and a side of the carrots (OMG they were awesome). We each ordered a steak. We could have spit the rib eye easily. The wine was not 3-4 times what you'd pay at the liquor store either. The steak was a little under cooked, but we usually order Medium and hope its a bit on the med/rare and it was. Great flavor. We will be back.Special Features:
- Personalized wonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/8/2014We've been eyeing the place for a while and finally made the effort to reserve for a summer Friday night. The food was excellent. When they encourage you to order the browned butter pudding, do not refuse. A pudding that comes with a rubber spatula to get every last bit can't be bad. My husband ordered steak and I had the scallops. Both were exceptionally prepared with light, seasonable veggies. We were going to order a bottle of wine and our waiter ended up recommending we order by the glass (which was less expensive) so we could have a better wine pairing with our dishes. He was right. It was spectacular. Unexpected treats included hot bread fresh from the oven and a chocolate wine for dessert. Definitely planning a return visit.Special Features:
- A real treatMplsminDined on 8/8/2014The food was interesting and beautifully presented. The crab toast appetizer was delicious. The wait staff was friendly and able to advise on wine pairings and dishes (without being pushy or overly chummy). The patio faces on Snelling, but was still a pleasant and relaxing option. The restaurant asks you to limit a patio meal to 1.5 - 2 hours, so we chose indoors for our second visit to allow enough time to savor the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood GemenjoygoodfoodDined on 8/6/2014Gracious hospitality offered in a residential storefront. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the food is amazing. Though the menu is small, the choices meet a variety of tastes. Food presentation is artful and there is a great wine list! Best of all, diners are encouraged to enjoy their meal without haste. Prices are moderately high, but diners enjoy fresh, organic and mostly locally grown food. Highly recommend Joan's in the Park.Special Features:
- tobyDined on 8/5/2014The food was all delicious. This was my first visit to the restaurant, and the food was great,but the portions were not proportionate to the pricing. I hesitate to recommend without a caution of that. Staff was all friendly.Special Features:
- A favoritegbwedinaVIPDined on 8/5/2014Wonderful food with family-like service makes Joan's one of our favorite restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- barbieDined on 8/2/2014Filet was cooked to perfection and a sizable portion for the price. Scallops could not have been any better with taste and texture surprisingly succulent. What can I say about the fresh baked loaf of bread. Made in the oven by their own pastry chef and could be a meal in itself with a fresh lettuce salad. Definitely recommend.Special Features:
- ExcellentkenmichDined on 8/1/2014Our first time at Joan's, recommended by friends. We definitely will be back. Server was super friendly and helpful, and the food was fantastic - loved the crab toast appetizer before our steaks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- harriette jandricCookieDined on 7/30/2014Fabulous food!!!! Nice owners and staff. Would go again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always fabulous!weder001Dined on 7/26/2014We reserve Joan's always when we want to take special guests out to dinner....and we have never been disappointed!Special Features:
- Great Patio DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/25/2014Had a wonderful meal on the patio the other night at Joan's. Menu has some nice new additions for the season. We tried the lamb ribs with strawberry and cucumber. Definite winner there! Great service, as always. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Worth the wait!champlinfoodiesDined on 7/25/2014Every bite we had was delicious. Because of their small size, we couldn't get the six of our family members in near our birthdays in April, so we aimed for my father-in-law's in July; the two-and-a-half-month wait was worth it! The crab toasts were awesome, and the corn fritters and shrimp were yummy. Two cuts of steak, and the daily salmon were all delicious. Maple-glazed roasted radishes were awesome, and good potatoes always win my vote! Per other reviews, we had to try the brown-butter pudding: I understand it's trendy now to put salt on desserts; I am not a fan, but despite those sour notes the rest of the pudding made up for it for me! My husband really enjoyed the bread custard, too. So very pleased we made it there!Special Features:
- Table for 2 Birthday CelebrationkjomitchDined on 7/23/2014From the moment we walked in we were greater by friendly, professional staff. Service was great. The bread made in-house was reason enough to come back. Ordered the lamb ribs and squash to start. AMAZING. Entrees were great as well. My favorite part of the night was having our photo taken with the birthday cupcake (on the house) and getting a hard copy of that photo given to is before we left. The brown butter pudding was incredible! We will definitely be crossing the river from Mpls To STP again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb FooddiningcoupleDined on 7/23/2014A great place for a steak or chicken entree. Let the help choose the sides and the wine...they know what they are doing. Interesting and delicious appetizers. Very friendly staff and a personal touch on all the food.Special Features:
- DavidVIPDined on 7/22/2014Tonight I tried some new items.. The lamb ribs were one of the most incredible food treasures I have ever eaten. They were moist falling off the bone with a slight sweet/spicy sauce drizzle on the plate. In addition we had a carrot tartare, it had a perfect combination of mustard seeds, blue berries, walnuts and a perfect vinaigrette drizzled on the plate. I stepped away from my normal steak and tried their Pork Chop. WOW!! it was cooked to a perfect medium, extremely moist with just enough char grill on the outside. Each piece I cut I added a little smear of her rhubarb barbecue sauce (This in itself is an amazing taste treat), this combination of smoky pork with the sauce made me smile in delight every time I took a bite. AMAZING !!Special Features:
- Great DinnerAlexDhugalDined on 7/22/2014It was my birthday and my partner took me to Joan's, after the great time we had on Dining Out for Life day. The folks remembered us from that day, and we charming and gracious at all times. They even gave me a birthday cupcake and each of us had a glass of a dessert wine to celebrate the day. We will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The California based series will take on the hot shoes of the Championship Late Model Association from Colorado. The intensity is high as the two series will go head to head for the first time with $3,000 to win on the line and $500 to start. Racing is set to begin at 7:00 pm with spectator gates opening at 5:00 pm and pit gates at 1:00 pm. The following night the USAC West Coast Sprint Cars will take the half-mile with the famed World of Outlaw Sprint Cars. Racing will begin the same time. In 2011 Hollister's Clay Daly claimed the West Coast Shootout series championship over El Segundo's Nick Bartels. The duo went neck to neck the entire season and decided the championship the final night at Bakersfield Speedway during the Budweiser Nationals. Both drivers claimed one feature event victory within the series but in the end Daly came out seven points ahead. Steve Drake, Brad Pounds, Mike Kirby and Bobby Hogge IV also claimed Shootout victories in 2011 and are expected to run with the series in 2011. Chris Kearns Presents and the West Coast Shootout Late Model Series would like to thank Shannon Pump Company, Drake Farms Transportation, Toste Construction & Paving, Indiana Truck Salvage, Papich Construction, ProPower Engines, Integra Shocks, West Coast Boring, Pearsons Auto Wrecking, Victory Circle and RoadRunner Fabrication for their support in the upcoming season. The Stratosphere Hotel and Casino has set up a discounted rate for the weeks events, including NASCAR weekend. You can call them at 800-99-TOWER and use the code "Racefan" for the discount.

Macromolecular Structure Group
Understanding RNA Recognition Strategies in Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation
The Macromolecular Structure Group uses molecular, biochemical, and structural approaches to understand how proteins specifically recognize their RNA targets. These studies have revealed some of the diversity of RNA recognition strategies that exist in nature, and they guide our appreciation for how the specificity impacts coordinated regulation of RNA networks.
Examples of studies are below:
Post-transcriptional gene regulation by PUF proteins
PUF family proteins are found in organisms from humans to yeast. Typical PUF proteins contain a characteristic sequence-specific RNA-binding domain and regulate gene expression by binding to regulatory sequences and modulating mRNA stability or translation. The Macromolecular Structure Group uses them as a model system for understanding how diversity of RNA recognition properties can be achieved and the correlation between specificity and coordinated gene regulation. In addition, their biological function in stem cell maintenance and cell growth pathways makes their study important to the NIEHS and NIH mission and goals. Crystal structures of different PUF proteins are used to guide functional studies of their RNA recognition properties.
Engineering RNA sequence specificity of Pumilio1 protein
Crystal structures of human PUF protein Pumilio1 revealed a modular protein of 8 repeats. Each repeat binds to an RNA base with two amino acid side chains to specify the recognized base. Sets of side chains for recognition of RNA bases A, U, and G were deduced from crystal structures and a set for C recognition was determined by selection experiments. Together this results in a code to design specific recognition of any 8-base sequence using the Pumilio1 scaffold. The group seeks to use this knowledge to design proteins as research tools that can be used to probe cellular function and to direct alternative splicing events critical in human diseases.
Mechanism of RNA silencing
Regulation of gene expression by small RNAs, small interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA), affects most biological pathways with thousands of human genes, perhaps all, targeted by at least one miRNA. Furthermore, RNA interference (RNAi) methods are used routinely in research to knockdown gene expression, small RNA biomarkers of disease and exposure are sought after, and medical applications to modulate gene expression are under development. The Macromolecular Structure Group focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms by which these small RNA effector molecules are produced and exert their regulatory effects.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The governor's office and state lawmakers are blaming each other, after it was learned that the approval of a sportsmen's grant could have cost the state $28 million a year in federal funds.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the Legislature's finance panel put the funds in jeopardy, by budgeting a half-million dollars in state and federal money which the politically-connected United Sportsmen were later awarded to promote hunting and fishing.
Governor Scott Walker preserved the federal funds, by making a partial budget veto in which state covered the entire grant.
Last week, Walker eliminated the grant, after questions were raised about the United Sportsmen's tax status. Now, the Journal Sentinel said the grant approval by GOP lawmakers came despite two warnings from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
That agency told the DNR that millions in federal funds could be cut off, because the state would no longer have full control of them.
GOP finance member Luther Olsen said he never knew about the DNR's warnings until the Journal Sentinel brought them up -- and he's speechless the administration didn't say anything.
Walker's office says the governor indeed worked with key lawmakers on the matter, and Olsen should have asked questions earlier.
Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to do favors for political friends. Milwaukee Assembly Democrat Jon Richards called on the Justice Department to investigate to see if there was, "wrongdoing that goes beyond cronyism."
