Just because My Chemical Romance has called it quits doesn't mean their fans will let the popular band disappear behind a couple of short statements from frontman Gerard Way and his brother Mikey – an online petition has been started by UK fan Cameron Lee II to try and entice their heroes to undertake one final world tour.
Titled My Chemical Romance: Have One Last World Tour To Say Goodbye To Their Fans, the petition exists on Change.org and currently has over 12,000 signatures. Lee has posted a simple mission statement as to why he began the petition on behalf of the MCRmy:
"They ended so abruptly without saying goodbye to their fans properly, and the MCRmy is upset. They need to do it correctly if they're going to do it at all."
Many supporters of Lee's petition have posted comments explaining what My Chemical Romance meant to them personally. 4 out of the 5 most recent comments all refer to how MCR helped saved someone's life, noting that the band will be sorely missed – a notion that has become abundantly clear since the band's break-up.
You can sign the petition for the My Chemical Romance farewell tour here.

Steve Denning: Itemization of How We Blew Up the World
Lest We Forget: Why We Had A Financial Crisis
Steve Denning
Forbes, 22 November 2011
When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this infallible sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.
Jonathan Swift
It is clear to anyone who has studied the financial crisis of 2008 that the private sector's drive for short-term profit was behind it. More than 84 percent of the sub-prime mortgages in 2006 were issued by private lending. These private firms made nearly 83 percent of the subprime loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers that year. Out of the top 25 subprime lenders in 2006, only one was subject to the usual mortgage laws and regulations. The nonbank underwriters made more than 12 million subprime mortgages with a value of nearly $2 trillion. The lenders who made these were exempt from federal regulations.
How then could the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg say the following at a business breakfast in mid-town Manhattan on November 1, 2011?
It was not the banks that created the mortgage crisis. It was, plain and simple, Congress who forced everybody to go and give mortgages to people who were on the cusp. Now, I'm not saying I'm sure that was terrible policy, because a lot of those people who got homes still have them and they wouldn't have gotten them without that. But they were the ones who pushed Fannie and Freddie to make a bunch of loans that were imprudent, if you will. They were the ones that pushed the banks to loan to everybody. And now we want to go vilify the banks because it's one target, it's easy to blame them and Congress certainly isn't going to blame themselves."
Barry Ritholtz in the Washington Post calls the notion that the US Congress was behind the financial crisis of 2008 "the Big Lie". As we have seen in other contexts, if a lie is big enough, people begin to believe it.

Is there a silver lining for hurricane Irene? Probably not much of one for the East coast. They've got over 4 million people without power, a few dozen deaths, and some flooding they've never seen before. But there is a silver for us down here and it's a lot more than dodging another storm.
The East coast is America. It's where everything starts, literally. The East coast is home to our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. It's also the home to one of the world's great cities, New York. Plus a slew of other major metropolitan areas like Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Boston.
The east coast is Power and Money: the Banking center of America and the world; the New York Stock Exchange; influence; power; money. The East coast is America.
Irene brought a lot of wind and rain with it, no doubt, but was a weak storm by hurricane standards. Getting weaker and weaker the farther north it went. Still, the East coast got crushed, mostly mentally. They're thinking "my God ... this dud, barely a cat 1 at first and then not even that, devastated us! Hurt us badly! Can't imagine a cat 3 or 4 or 5! Gotta listen to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast when they get hit!"
This gives those East coast politicians a real taste of an actual hurricane. And in a weird kind of way, it's a blessing for us. Now our country's leaders know first hand what a hurricane can do. Wind damage. Flooding. Insurance claims. Closed businesses and public transit. Major power outages. The powerful, very influential East coast fully understands what a hurricane can do. What problems it can bring. Which is good news for us in the future when the next storm hits us. And it will.
I don't wish any hurricane or any other natural disaster to hit the east coast. But now that one has, I feel pretty confidant that the nations leadership now has a much better understanding of what a hurricane is and what it can do. For the first time in my life, places like Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and even new York city are bring adversely affected by a hurricane. And that will only help us in the future.
Irene wasn't a powerful hurricane but it sent a powerful message to the movers and shakers of our country.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's sole abortion clinic in Fargo has settled a lawsuit it filed over a new law requiring doctors who perform abortions to obtain hospital-admitting privileges.
New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights is helping the Red River Women's Clinic and says in a statement that the case has been settled.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The group filed a lawsuit in state court last year challenging the law. But last month, Sanford Health said physicians at the Red River Women's Clinic have been credentialed at its hospital in Fargo. The action made the lawsuit moot.
A state judge in July granted a preliminary injunction that prevented the law from taking effect.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Groupon Inc. GRPN, +0.15% gave up more than 6%, to fall to $5.57 a share Tuesday as UBS analyst Eric Sheridan started coverage of the online daily deal company with a sell rating and a $4.40-a-share price target. Sheridan said that he based his view on Groupon on the fact that the company "has a largely unproven business model, a wide ranging global business mix in transformation, and is undergoing a management change." In late February, Groupon fired Chief Executive Andrew Mason and is looking for a new permanent CEO.

Heart Disease Health Center
Quicker Angioplasty Times for Heart Attack Patients
Aug. 22, 2011 -- More than 90% of patients who have a heart attack and need an emergency treatment to open the artery now have it within the recommended 90 minutes after they get to the hospital, new research finds.
Some patients get the treatment even more quickly, says researcher Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, the Harold H. Hines Jr. Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale University School of Medicine. In a national analysis, his team looked at how quickly the treatment, angioplasty, was done in 2010, compared to 2005.
"The median time (half longer, half less) went from 96 minutes to 64," Krumholz tells WebMD. "I think it's breathtaking."
In 2005, 44% of heart attack patients who needed angioplasty were treated within the 90-minute window. In 2010, 91% were, the researchers found.
"This is outstanding news," says P.K. Shah, MD, director of cardiology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was not involved in the study but reviewed the findings.
The study is published in Circulation:Journal of the American Heart Association.
Heart Attack Patients and Angioplasty
During angioplasty, the blocked artery is opened. The doctor passes a thin balloon-tipped tube into the vessel. The balloon is inflated, restoring blood flow, and then withdrawn. In some cases, a stent will be put in to keep the vessel open.
Even though doctors knew speed was important, only one-third of patients who needed angioplasty got it within 90 minutes in 2002. Some had to wait more than two hours after getting to the hospital.
That triggered the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to begin reporting publicly the percentage of patients who were treated within the recommended window.
Soon after, national efforts were launched by organizations, including the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, to improve treatment times.
Doctors call the window the "door-to-balloon time."
Heart Patients and Angioplasty: Study
Krumholz and his colleagues analyzed nationwide hospital data collected by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It includes more than 300,000 patients. They had emergency angioplasty from Jan. 1, 2005, through Sept. 30, 2010, including some not covered by Medicare.
Every year, nearly 250,000 people in the U.S. have the type of heart attack that blocks part of the blood supply to the heart and requires angioplasty, according to the American Heart Association.
In 2010, 70% of the patients were treated in less than 75 minutes. In 2005, only 27% were.
A time window of 60 minutes may become the new standard, the researchers say.
This study did not look at the effect of the speedier treatment on death rates. However, Krumholz says other research, including his own, has found that treatment delays are linked with higher death rates.
Krumholz reports chairing a cardiac scientific advisory board for UnitedHealth.

Only a couple of years ago, plenty of kids like Justin-Sean-and-Richie were what this magazine called prep-school gangsters: private-school students living a wannabe gangster's life. Credit-card scams, shoplifting, and drug dealing were important ways of getting money and status in the scene. It didn't seem any worse to them than what some of their own parents or people in the news were doing with great success. One boy, whose father was a well-known real-estate developer in the eighties, once told me, "My dad's a gangster. He sits at the dinner table laughing about all the people he's screwing over." "Ivan Boesky made $200 million in a year off a scam," says Kim Bailey — who at 18 has left crew life behind and is also working with friends as a party promoter — with measured admiration. "Anybody who can make that kind of money off of a scam — what can you say? But then he got caught."
No one seems more surprised by the way he's turned things around than Justin. "Omigod, I was a hoodlum, a little piece of shit," he says. "Doing graffiti, robbing stores, terrorizing people — I don't care if you say it, whatever, it's true. I was such a little crazer." He was kicked out of Xavier High School and St. Peter's Prep, a school in New Jersey, before landing at the High School for the Humanities. And that was Davide Sorrenti's school.
When Davide (pronounced "David") Sorrenti died in February 1997, it was an A1 story in the New York Times. The 20-year-old photographer — son and brother of two other prominent fashion photographers, Francesca and Mario — had come to symbolize the dangers of "heroin chic." (Davide's death was actually the result of a painful blood condition, Cooley's anemia, complicated by heroin use. His mother is now leading a celebrated campaign against the use of underage fashion models, who are arguably more vulnerable to the lure of drugs.)
"Basically, Dave dying taught us that you can't fuck around in life," says Justin. "You can't do something for so long and think you're gonna get away with it. Like with this new thing, kids on some positive shit … for me, I think it's Davide looking over us.""

I'm sick with a virus so I'll keep this short but I wanted to share some good news with you.
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from American Gourmet Magazine's blog, Gourmet Live, telling me that they were making my Fig, Prosciutto and Pear Salad, Image of the Week. Here's what they had to say about it:
Of course I was thrilled, but surprised too, because that recipe/photograph was blogged in February 2012, some five months ago. The Gourmet Live researcher told me she'd wandered all over my site and also loved my Mini Berry Puddings for Busy People and my Easy Honey Ice Cream with Burnt Toffee Popcorn. She's clearly a woman who loves her dessert, just like me! ;)
I love that about blogging - every day my blog puts me in touch with people from all over the world that I'd never usually come across. A shared interest in food is such a lovely way to meet someone.
OK I'm starting to fade out again so I'm going to head back to my lemon tea and my chicken soup now. Hope you're well and have a great day!

"Unions don't grant tenure - administrators do. Too many school boards and superintendents attack tenure rather than hold their own managers accountable for hiring and supervising teachers and, if necessary, removing those who don't make the grade. Tenure is granted by the board of education on recommendation of the superintendent -but many schools do a poor job of evaluating and supporting teachers…
Tenure's not about protecting 'bad' teachers; it's about protecting good teachers. What would happen to teachers without tenure? They could - and would - be fired for virtually any reason.
It's not hard to imagine teachers being dismissed because they failed the daughter of an influential businessman or because the school board president's nephew needed a job.
In these fiscally troubled times, what would stop a school board from replacing a veteran teacher at the top of the pay scale with a first-year teacher - simply to save money?Tenure is the first line of defense against attacks on academic freedom. Teachers can engage their students in a free exchange of ideas only if they are protected from arbitrary dismissal for doing so. Tenure prevents school boards from arbitrarily dismissing teachers for holding political, religious or social views with which they disagree.
It protects academic freedom the way the First Amendment protects freedom of the press."
Feb. 18, 2011 - New York State United Teachers
"NEA believes in a fair and efficient process for removing ineffective teachers from classrooms. NEA and its state affiliates will work to maintain state laws that provide experienced teachers with the right to a fair dismissal process - one that gives notice of the reason for the termination and the opportunity to a fair hearing to contest that reason - which is what tenure laws ensure. Tenure, as defined by state laws, does not keep ineffective teachers in classrooms, it simply ensures a fair dismissal process."
Feb. 2, 2011 - National Education Association (NEA)
"Based on my own experience as a New York City public school teacher, I am a strong advocate of tenure. While it protects the less than satisfactory by requiring that due process be followed before they can be removed, it also protects exceptionally good teachers from being undermined and removed by administrators anxious to cover their own rear ends and blustering politicians…
I organized student clubs that testified at public hearings against budget cuts in education and in favor of condom availability in schools. Club members organized debates on reproductive freedom and informational meetings on the Sandinista in Nicaragua, the meaning of Islam, equal rights for gays, and the importance of the census. Sometimes my actions brought me into conflict with 'colleagues' and administrators...
What protected me was better than average scores on standardized tests by my students, the fact that I worked in very difficult schools by choice, the school and departmental administrators who respected what I did, and tenure, which made it virtually impossible to remove a teacher without documented evidence of malfeasance or incompetence."
Feb. 24, 2010 - Alan Singer, PhD
"Of the 50 states in the United States, 49 have some form of teacher tenure, or 'fair dismissal laws' protecting teachers from arbitrary firings. Most of these states clearly outrank Georgia on student testing and achievement in multiple categories. These states have no problem outshining Georgia on educational measures while also requiring administrators to justify the firing of public schoolteachers. Clearly, tenure laws are not holding back other states from achieving education reform or student progress and achievement. (In fact, Mississippi is the only state that has no statutory protections providing a due process hearing for teachers. Mississippi ranks lowest in most educational measures).
How can anyone object to requiring an administrator 'to have a good reason' for firing a public schoolteacher? Isn't this simply holding the administrator responsible for sound educational judgment?...
While educational systems can and should be constantly improved, its disingenuous to suggest that tenure has held education back…"
Nov. 18, 2009 - Michael E. Kramer, JD, MBA
"Teacher tenure exists for two essential reasons: to protect educators from political or personal retribution and to guarantee their academic freedom to teach according to the best practices in their fields of expertise. Tenure does not guarantee lifetime employment. It does not protect the unqualified or incompetent individual. The most important function of tenure is to provide a due process when questions arise about a teacher's qualifications, ability or suitability to teach...
Evidence of effectiveness, demonstrated over a period of three years, lies at the heart of the tenure process. That process is sound, but it is only as good as the people charged with the responsibility of carrying it out. During the three year probationary period, administrators have ample opportunity to closely monitor and evaluate a teacher's performance. Diligence is required on the part of principals and supervisors...
Teacher tenure is a vital protection, and a key professional right. The Louisiana Federation of Teachers will vigorously fight any efforts to water down the state's tenure law. We will wage this battle in the context of our call for a bolder, broader approach to public education."
Mar. 5, 2009 - Louisiana Federation of Teachers
"One of the chief reasons for the teachers' unions in the first place was to protect teachers from outside pressure through tenure. Tenure is not easily given; it is earned.
Moreover, critics of teachers' unions do not take into account the fact that teaching is labor-intensive and teachers often burn out.
Teachers are not the problem of American education, as some charge; they are the solution."
Mar. 3, 2011 - Maurice R. Berube, PhD
"I'm grateful to tenure for protecting a very dedicated and self-sacrificing group of professionals...
Without tenure, a 30-year teacher who has proven himself able under six school administrations can be fired under the seventh simply due to a conflict in teaching styles. Without tenure, the most experienced and proven educator - someone who has put in years on a school district pay scale -- could be fired simply to cut costs in order to hire a newer, unproven teacher...
Without tenure, a teacher would be less likely to try a new book or lesson that strayed from the district vision even if that vision was flawed, or even if that supplemental material was exactly what that teacher needed to reach the kids in her classroom. Without tenure, we could not use criticism to improve our profession.
Without tenure, our vulnerability might influence our choices, allowing our fear of standardized test scores to drive our curriculum, rather then adding the critical-thinking skills into our lessons that we know our students truly need. Without tenure, a teacher could not fight for a student's rights, raising his voicing against his own school administration or district.
Tenure is not so much a perk as a shield that permits us to teach through the ebb and flow of trends and fads brought in ofttimes by nomadic administrators. It gives us the ability to have an unthreatened voice to stand up against the grain. It allows us to retain our positions through our pregnancies, illness, and mourning, to stand up against lawyers pitted against us by litigious-eyed parents, or by the occasional student with lying on her tongue."
Dec. 21, 2009 - Heather Wolpert-Gawron
"A professional services contract or tenure is needed for teachers in the public schools of Florida to prevent despotism, nepotism, and cronyism from denying good teachers the opportunity of making teaching a career. Without it, teaching becomes a job that only rewards teachers who teach the most able students instead of a profession where teachers help all students learn…
The school principal is the gatekeeper for excellence in teaching at their school. When the school principal acts responsibly, poor teachers are weeded out and let go, and good teachers are awarded tenure after three years of teaching. Tenure gives these teachers the sense that their job is secure and that it cannot be terminated by the whim of an administrator, complaining parent or other adult, or a disgruntled student. Tenure encourages teaching careers.
The last thing politicians should want is to turn Florida education into a spoils system where administrative patronage determines who gets hired and fired at the end of each school year. Tenure keeps that from happening to good teachers."
Apr. 7, 2011 - Matt Coleman
"The job protections and due process of tenure were first put into place more than 70 years ago because teachers and school employees were routinely fired for personal and political reasons. The tenure law changed that, basing personnel decisions on educational factors and providing a strong system of review by a neutral third party.
The proposed bills would eliminate these basic principles and remove all checks and balances on school boards and administrators, making them wholly unaccountable for their actions.
Proponents of this radical legislation complain that the current system makes it too difficult to fire bad tenured teachers.
The fact is, bad tenured teachers get fired all the time, as well they should. Teachers are evaluated more than most professions, and the system provides ample opportunity to remove bad teachers…
When administrators do their job, follow the rules, and use common sense, the system works and bad teachers are dismissed."
May 14, 2011 - Anita Gibson
"I still believe that tenure is important and does protect academic freedom. It would not only be unfair and shortsighted if teachers could be dismissed because they were told not to teach about global warming or they must teach intellectual design; it would be criminal and fostering anti-intellectualism in an institution designed to foster investigation into and a healthy debate about emerging ideas. I believe there remains important controversial ideas that must not be ignored, overlooked, or banned when we are in institutions that should foster and nurture intellectual curiosity."
Apr. 14, 2011 - Jim O'Neill
"We'll do more to support teachers and reward great teaching – and that includes ending tenure as we know it so that tenure is awarded for performance, not taken for granted.
Teachers and principals are professionals. They deserve to be paid like professionals, treated like professionals, and evaluated like professionals. But for too long, the tenure evaluation process for both principals and teachers has been a formality – a rubber stamp. It used to be that 99.1 percent of teachers received tenure. That's right, 99.1 percent. But last year, we started using data to make tenure decisions, and the tenure number dropped to 89 percent. For the other 11 percent, they were just not ready to receive a lifetime job protection...
It's time for us to end the 'last-in, first out' layoff policy that puts children at risk here in New York – and across our wonderful country. With more budget cuts looming, principals across the country will have no choice but to make layoffs based only on seniority – so their newest teachers would be the first ones to go, even if they happen to be the best teachers. That makes no sense. Remember our one and only question: is it good for children?"
Sep. 27, 2010 - Michael Bloomberg, MBA
"Just like we hold government accountable, we should also hold teachers accountable, and this is one simple way to do that. We also need to eliminate teacher tenure so that we can replace bad teachers. Good teachers know they don't need tenure. There is no reason to have it except to protect those that don't perform as they should. If we do that, and we give parents more options for educating their kids, we'll be well on our way to fixing Florida's economy."
Jan. 11, 2011 - Rick Scott, JD
"I was encouraged to learn about Florida's recent efforts to eliminate tenure. It just does not put students first, and with federal due process laws in place, tenure is no longer necessary to sufficiently protect teachers from arbitrary dismissal. Whether you are able to eliminate it or otherwise redefine it to separate tenure from personnel decisions, Florida can be one of the first to disempower this outdated practice that has no correlation to improved student achievement.
Of course, having tenure does not mean a teacher is ineffective. However, most teachers are granted tenure within just a few years. Once a teacher has tenure, in most states that teacher essentially has a job for life regardless of performance, making the practice of tenure a barrier to separating teachers who are ineffective and unable to improve...
As Stanford economist Eric Hanushek's study (10.3 MB) on teacher quality indicates, even if we replace just the bottom six percent of teachers with average teachers, we will see dramatic results in student achievement. Tenure makes it very difficult to do even this."
Feb. 10, 2011 - Michelle Rhee, MPP
"Right now, the public education system makes it difficult to reward excellent teachers and to remove poor teachers. If our goal is to make sure Idaho Students Come First, we must address both…
Currently, if a teacher has been teaching for longer than three years, they receive a continuing contract in the State of Idaho – a contract equivalent to tenure. If we truly want to focus on putting students first, we can no longer permit a forever contract in our schools. No credible research shows that tenure helps improve student achievement…
Phasing out tenure is not a new idea or something just happening in Idaho. States across the nation have passed or introduced legislation to eliminate tenure or tie it to a teacher's performance. These states recognize that tenure may have been a rite of passage in the past, but it now serves as an obstacle to improving schools."
Feb. 1, 2011 - Idaho State Department of Education
"First, teachers have a greater impact on student learning than any other school-based factor. Second, we will not produce excellent schools without eliminating laws and practices that guarantee teachers - regardless of their performance - jobs for life.
Nearly everyone in public education has a story that illustrates the Kafkaesque process of trying to remove a tenured teacher. Mine involves a teacher in Boston who napped each day in the back of the room while students copied from the board. Despite repeated efforts, the district failed to fire him.
The time has come to eliminate tenure. We are facing monumental challenges in our quest to provide all students with an education that will prepare them to compete in a globalized economy. By removing one of the main sources of friction between labor and management, we can focus on the substantive issues: training, evaluating and rewarding teachers to make teaching a true profession."
June 18, 2010 - Timothy Knowles, PhD
"The time for real reform is now… I propose that we reward the best teachers, based on merit, at the individual teacher level. demand that layoffs, when they occur, be based on a merit system and not merely on seniority…
And perhaps the most important step in that process is to give schools more power to remove underperforming teachers. The time for a national conversation on tenure is long past due.
Teaching can no longer be the only profession where you have no rewards for excellence and no consequences for failure to perform. Let New Jersey lead the way again. The time to eliminate teacher tenure is now."
Jan. 11, 2011 - Chris Christie, JD
"School boards operate in a completely different environment today than they did when tenure was established in 1909. Over a century of statutes, regulations and court decisions protect employees from arbitrary dismissal and discrimination. More recently, the School Ethics Act and the School District Accountability Act and regulations added to safeguards against patronage hiring and nepotism.
New Jersey's tenure system has devolved into a lifetime job protection for teachers, regardless of how well they perform in the classroom.
The New Jersey School Boards Association believes that our state's children deserve a public school system that places educational quality above employee job security. Therefore, reforming the current system of lifetime tenure should be at the heart of educational improvement and reform. NJSBA supports replacement of lifetime tenure for school employees with a system of renewable employment contracts."
Sep. 30, 2010 - New Jersey School Boards Association
"Tenure in K-12 education today means that teachers (and, in many cases, principals) are granted a 'job for life' after a relatively short time in the classroom - usually without any serious attempt to evaluate the teacher's effectiveness. In most states, tenure is essentially automatic after two or three years, barring criminal or extreme misconduct. Once granted, the rules and regulations accompanying tenure or permanent contracts make removing even the most unmotivated and ineffective teachers nearly impossible. These policies do nothing to advance the interests of students, but instead serve only to protect adult jobs.
If tenure merely protected teachers from being fired for arbitrary or capricious reasons, StudentsFirst would support it. Professionals should never be concerned they might lose their jobs because of their age, sex, religion, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Similarly, we support professionals' rights to fight back if they are wrongfully terminated. Fortunately, well-established federal and state policies allow teachers to challenge wrongful actions and prevent discriminatory firing in public education. Tenure is simply not needed to protect such rights.
To serve the interest of students, tenure must be eliminated so that teachers feel best protected by the quality of their work and the role they play on the teaching team."
May 16, 2011 - StudentsFirst
"Once teachers get tenure - which typically happens at the end of three years - they basically have their jobs for life. Last year, only 10 in 55,000 tenured New York City teachers were fired for poor performance. Protecting grownups rather than making sure students can read and do math is how our country has gotten into the educational mess it's in today. It's the reason we have shameful racial achievement gaps separating our white and Asian students from our African-American and Latino students. It's the reason too many of our kids are dropping out of school. It's the reason our kids are lagging further and further behind their international peers."
Mar. 2, 2009 - Joel Klein, JD
"Tenure is something that doesn't exist in the real world. When we're talking about better student achievement, more accountability in our education system for what we're spending, I don't think teacher tenure fits with that…
When a teacher gets tenure, it's awful difficult to get rid of them... We want to treat all teachers the same. They got to get evaluated."
Dec. 27, 2010 - Hank Coe
"A 7-year-old girl won't make it to college someday because her teacher has two decades of experience or a master's degree - she will make it to college if her teacher is effective and engaging and compels her to reach for success. By contrast, a poorly performing teacher can hold back hundreds, maybe thousands, of students over the course of a career. Each day that we ignore this reality is precious time lost for children preparing for the challenges of adulthood.
The glacial process for removing an incompetent teacher - and our discomfort as a society with criticizing anyone who chooses this noble and difficult profession - has left our school districts impotent and, worse, has robbed millions of children of a real future.
There isn't a business in America that would survive if it couldn't make personnel decisions based on performance. That is why everything we use in assessing teachers must be linked to their effectiveness in the classroom and focused on increasing student achievement."
Dec. 7, 2010 - The New Teacher Project

"I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.

carries more than 44 tonnes;
has an axle load of more than 11.5 tonnes;
is more than 3 metres wide;
is more than 18.75 metres long.
Before a haulier can move an abnormal load he must notify and gain consent from the Police. In addition, if the gross weight or axle weights exceed those specified on the C and U regulations he must indemnify the Highway Authority and all bridge owners along the proposed route (e.g. Network Rail).
An abnormal load can potentially go on any road provided the haulier complies with the law. Some roads are more suitable and more extensively used e.g. A Class Roads.
Please notify Hampshire County Council of an abnormal load online or by fax on 01962 854045.
For telephone enquiries please call 01962 832239 or 832240.
Notice Periods
The law requires the haulier to give a minimum of two clear days notice to the Police, Highway Authority and Bridge owners before moving the load.
The notice period for loads over 150 tonnes, 6.1 metres wide or 27.4 metres long is different and hauliers moving such loads need special orders from the Department for Transport.

|Welcome to Luvecheirosa, the group made for all owners of and 's original species, vukar and virspera. Our name is derived from the scientific names of the two species, Homo luveceranisus (vukar) and Homo vicheirosa (virspera).
Vukar and virspera are currently closed species until we update their reference sheets.
Vukar FAQ
Can I make a vukar?
Sorry, vukar and all the other species associated with their plot are currently closed. Once all the references and world information are complete, they will be made available ONLY by passing a quiz and agreeing to the terms and conditions. It will take anywhere from months to year before vukar are available.
Can I make a character based off of them?
People have every right to combine bears, hyenas, and wolves (basically what I did to create the vukar) but PLEASE do not outright rip off my species. There are many ways to combine the anatomy other than the way I did. Vukar also have defining characteristics in their anatomy and physiology that should not be copied (see anatomy sheet in gallery).
Can I make my own plot inside of/based off of yours?
Believe it or not, I actually have had someone ask me if they could make an alternate version of vukar world. The answer is a complete, definite, no. Knichtus and I have worked VERY hard to make this universe and we definitely would not take kindly to someone ripping it off or trying to change it.
What are the other species associated with vukar?
In addition to vukar, there are virspera (the natural enemy of the vukar), groturpis (prototype vukar), remuli (vukar/human hybrids), grendels (virspera/human hybrids), and fells (vukar/virspera hybrids).
When vukar are made available, can I give mine an anthro form?
No. Vukar only have their skin ("human" shift) and their fur ("feral" shift). Because we do NOT allow vukar to be taken/used outside of their universe (except in spoofs and unrelated character interacts), they should never be given an anthro form. Some vukar are able to obtain an inbetween shift called the monk form, but it is not similar to an anthro and has more balanced anatomy (rather than, for example, simply placing a vukar head on a human body). The monk shift will only be available to people who roleplay/draw their vukar while pursuing the monk profession within the roleplay group.
Can I draw existing vukar as gift art?
Of course!

With another mugging of a Georgia Tech student Sunday night, that campus seems a target for crime. AJC news writer Bo Emerson is looking to speak now to Tech parents and Tech students. Please contact him via e-mail or call him at 404 526-5445.
October 31st, 2011
11:21 am
Georgia State students have also been targeted.
October 31st, 2011
11:39 am
It's time for Tech and GSU to begin long-range planning to relocate both campuses outside the city. It will be an expensive proposition but we cannot continue to expose the students to this kind of danger indefinitely.
October 31st, 2011
11:43 am
Agreed Von. Atlanta has become nothing more that a cesspool, the detroit of the South chock full of govt employee incompetence and stupidity.
The sooner these schools relocate the better off everyone will be. And they should relocate to avoid the Fulton, Dekalb and City of Atlanta tax net.
October 31st, 2011
11:49 am
On both campuses, it would seem that the students need to observe some common-sense safety precautions in their urban setting.
The Georgia Tech crimes seem to be mostly perpetuated on students out and around that neighborhood at 9 pm or later. The latest took place at 12 a.m.
The Georgia State crimes seem mostly the snatch-and-grab variety: the student is talking on a cellphone or smartphone while walking on the street when it's grabbed. Or using a laptop in a public area when it's suddenly taken or demanded. Don't they notice someone nearby acting suspiciously? Would they walk down the street flashing dollar bills?
Students need to remember that the city-life surrounding these urban campuses isn't the same as the rural small towns or the suburbs they may come from. Think defensively.
October 31st, 2011
11:59 am
Relocate?! Really? How about just enforce the law? Step up patrols. Add more GT cops and other security guards. The thugs will move on if the pickin's are slim and they know they will likely get caught.
I want to know why the students and parents have not raised HE11. This problem is solvable!
October 31st, 2011
12:00 pm
I'm happy to reach out and give my point of view on this. I'm emailing Bo now.
October 31st, 2011

I am also against this relocating idea! The suggestion is ridiculous in my opinion.
October 31st, 2011

offer them all a CWP, and a free course on how to use it.

The AJC needs to stop trying to soil the name of GA Tech. It seems that any chance they get, they will say something negative about the Jackets.
The problem is NOT specific to the Tech campus. The problem at its core is lack of police work and the criminals. It is only a symptom when a Tech student is the victum.
Also, the crime is not just on campus or just against Tech students. Crime overall has increased in Atlanta.
Leave GA Tech alone!
October 31st, 2011
12:05 pm
Any idea which element is responsible for these attacks?
October 31st, 2011
12:06 pm
Relocate? Seriously?
There are many many colleges in major cities. To name a few: Temple, New York University, Harvard, University of Penn, and many others.
Should ALL of them relocate out into the farming communities? LOL!
October 31st, 2011
12:07 pm
I can answer that one! It is the criminal element!
October 31st, 2011
12:09 pm
Criminal element? In Atlanta? Come on!
October 31st, 2011
12:09 pm
It is Atlanta, there will be crime. I think students are probably targeted because (1) many walk around with headphones in their ears, so they can't hear people approaching them from behind, (2) students are easy to spot, and usually have a cell phone, laptop, etc with them, and (3) they are most likely unarmed, as it is against campus policy to have weapons.

High crime rates came to Atlanta years ago and are here to stay. Common sense should tell you all the talking in the world will accomplish nothing. It's time for Tech to find another, safer location.

Also being near the ghetto, USC has the same problem. You practically have to zig zag across campus.

How about exercising a little common sense? Last victim was walking alone at midnight in Midtown – not on the Ga Tech campus.
Unfortunately, a couple times a month, the AJC reports one of student mugging/robbery stories – and the time of the incident is usually the same, late night/after midnight.
October 31st, 2011

@Lee -
Yes. But, the AJC will report the story as "on GA Tech campus" even if the student was not on campus…..
Things that make you go hummmmmmm.

Stand by one…what ever happened to some good ole fashioned self defense? News of the most-recent attack indicates that the attacker may have been/was armed with (shudder/zounds!) a sharp object…I would have made the sob eat his sharp object. Many years ago, during my wild and wooley college days, I foolishly stumbled into a few wrong places. During the course of one particular attack, I handed the sob, nearest to me, his eyeball. I don't like hurting people, as much as they may warrant a good helping of pain, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. If one insists on presenting oneself as a target, one should not be surprised when one receives a facefull of poo poo…one must take the RESPONSIBILITY of being prepared to administer the poo poo when needed.
Prior to doing the Joe College scene, many of my generation had received a coupla doses of hand-to-hand combat training; a few of us had the pants-pissing experience of applying our training in close combat. In combat, one is always on "high alert"…in the low key, hair down college environment, one's attentions focus primarily on sex, studies, sex, and booze…and where the next hot meal is coming from. IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO "FLICK THE SWITCH"…to shift from law-abiding citizen to "hair on fire animal" in .001 second…BUT IT'S A GOOD PRACTICE TO CULTIVATE IN ALL YOUR ACTIVITIES.
These local punks WILL continue attacking the easy prey which students seem to have allowed themselves to become. It is ONLY when these punks start facing DETERMINED resistance, and a little pain when this crap will subside. Outside of combat operations, I never carried a weapon (perhaps a foolish act of over-confidence); perhaps this might be a consideration for today's college students (personaly, I do not recommend this course of action, UNLESS the student is WELL-TRAINED and FULLY AWARE of legal ramifications.
Bottom line: Today's student MUST learn to develop a sense of CONTROLLED FURY…the mental conditioning to 1) maintain situational awareness AT ALL TIMES, and 2) be always prepared to "flick that switch".
Despite what one may wish to believe, we live in a cruel world: we face ever-escalating costs, we lose jobs, we are obliged to endure (what may be deemed) unfair situations, etc…LEARN TO FACE LIFE'S ADVERSITYS HEAD-ON…stop complaining, stop cowering, and, when life demands, face life B _ lls to the W _ ll.

My twenty year old is at Georgia State, and I have some of the same concerns. Say what you want about the "safety" of the downtown, mid-town areas, parents worry. Whny do we need Curtis Sliwa's group at Five Points? Why can't the Atlanta police clean that mess up??? Get off MARTA sometime at Five Points Station. You have to hold you breath.
October 31st, 2011
2:05 pm
Ole Guy is correct. If someone throws down the gaunlet then sometimes ya just have to pick it up and go for broke.
I wont bother with regaling you all with a story or two…suffice is to say…"one must take the RESPONSIBILITY of being prepared to administer the poo poo when needed."
October 31st, 2011
2:17 pm
In reviewing some of these comments, the over-riding theme seems to be one of passivity; of escaping an unpleasant situation rather than approaching the issues directly. Is there a possibility that one may sustain a gun shot wound? Certainly! That very real possibility exists whenever one dares venture out the front door. It's all an attitudinal thing…if one LOOKS (in life) like easy prey, life will swaller' em' whole. I see it all the time…people (particularly younger people) sauntering about as if the entire world is gonna look out for their best interests. Pull them gd head phones off; look like you're going someplace with "extreme intent"…not simply wandering into the firing range; look like an animal on the prowl; someone who's not to be _ ucked with. AND TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PREPARING YOURSELF TO BACK IT UP!
October 31st, 2011
2:52 pm
People who blame the victims of these crimes are morons. Either Atlanta has the political will to enforce the law and protect students who go to in town schools or eventually these schools and their students will have to do something different. Crime is not unavoidable but it's a serious problem. it will take serious work to protect these kids.

I had a daughter at GT for fours years with no problems. Yes, there is crime in the big city. Use common sense. They aren't targeted because they're students. They're targeted because they are out alone walking the streets at night. Really, people?
October 31st, 2011

The crimes committed at urban schools, such as own GSU and Tech, are no more common or serious in nature than those committed in presumably safe "college towns," i.e. UGA and UF. These safe, suburban schools most often experience student on student crime, generally in the way of assault against women and theft. I have worked at both a major suburban campus (where 'Do not walk on this path after sundown," signs cover half the beautiful Florida campus), and at GSU. I feel safer at GSU, even when walking after dark, thanks to the campus police. Simply put, college campus are dangerous places and moving them will not change that. The only real answer is to educated students/employees in common-sense safety and defense, maintain a vigilant police force and system of justice that makes a crime not worth committing.
October 31st, 2011
5:56 pm
I don't accept that the rate of crime is the same at Georgia Tech and surrounding area as at UGA and its surrounding area. Prove it! Atlanta needs to step up and start incarcerating criminals for more than a couple of months for an armed robbery. Robbery involving a gun should net 25 years to life!

Why not, Prof? The whole "attractiveness" of victims is 1) they look like victims; 2) they behave like victims. These punks are cowards…the moment they perceive the message that "Hey MF, you done _ u _ ked with the wrong Marine"…they'll realize that "Hey, this prey ain't gonna be easy"; "I just might get hurt by this crazy _ it _ h".
I don't know what the hell's wrong with young folks today. They whine an' cry the moment the poo poo hits the fan…"Times are tough…waa waa waa"…"The bad people are pickin' on me…waa waa waa"…ad nauseum. What ever happened to the will to not only survive but to conquor and prevail? JHC, when is this younger gen gonna stop sucking their collective thumbs an' start kickin' six? It is THEY who will, in the not-too-distant future, have to take the ball and run with it…are they gonna gasp an' drop to the deck? I sure as hell hope not…for MY sake, and for the sake of my generational contemporaries. Are WE gonna have to hold their I-pod stuffed hands and run block for em' till they're 50? I sure as hell hope they find THEIR own answers…WE found ours…WE interupted our youth for a few years before we could continue our lives. GET WITH IT YOU CRY BABIES!

My husband and I attended universities in large urban cities and the people that had trouble were the ones who were not paying attention and aware of their surroundings and usually out late by themselves. Hello, you're in the city. Use caution and common sense. No matter how large the police force, if people do stupid things, the criminals are going to find ways to take advantage of the situation.

If students have to limit their activities to daylight hours because they built the university next to a slum, then the university needs to move. Get it the hell out of Atlanta! Or bulldoze the slums out of existence. Or (heaven forbid) patrol every street with police with authorization to use deadly force. And when you catch these criminals, for heaven's sake, put them away for a LONG time. What happened to the three strikes and you are out law?

"I don't know what the hell's wrong with young folks today. They whine an' cry the moment the poo poo hits the fan…"Times are tough…waa waa waa"…"The bad people are pickin' on me…waa waa waa"…ad nauseum. What ever happened to the will to not only survive but to conquor and prevail?"
The punks these days are raised by their mommys to be punks and tattletales because he daddys that are around seem to be pretty much spineless.
The no bullying laws, classes and all that crapola.
Then you have people like Mr MultiLateralist Bill Clinton, then Hillary "its not fair" Clinton, Mr "Im gonna level the playing field and spread your money around" Obama….etc.
We have all these hineywiping liberal crybabys bellyaching over BS and the stupid public buys into it.

The crime on campus is not bullying. It's legitimate crime…I'm not sure why this got turned into calling these students "whiners." I'm sure you wouldn't be thrilled to be mugged.

@ Student. Good arguing and use of logic. I hope you're in one of my classes.
Remember that it's always easier to sound like the tough guy who never gets pushed around, even if "one may sustain a gun shot wound," when one is safely sitting at one's computer typing away.

You mixed up the apples and oranges their, student.

Prof, I don't know what your experiences are, or if you have been so fortunate as to lead an uneventful life…and that's perfectly fine. In you business/your profession, there is the position of emeritus. During my collegiate years, I learned a great deal from these fine people…they had REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE from which to draw REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS to the problems and scenarios which life presents. I am quite certain a professor emeritus…one with a great deal more experience in the field than the traditional classroom prof…would quickly issue a "GO TO HELL" to anyone who equates REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE to the "safety of sitting at one's computer…".
As an "oldster"/a self-annointed statesman of sorts, I take a great deal of interest and genuine concern in the development of those who follow in the footsteps of my generational contemporaries. I have been, and continue to be involved in many programs and activities whose primary objectives center on the passing along of time-proven values. One of those values encompasses just how we "walk through life"…how we tell the world WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE ARE, AND WHAT WE STAND FOR. If we go through life "head down", crab-walking along life's paths of uncertainty and travail, we should not be surprised when we find ourselves "being eaten alive by life's predators". This truism exists within the animal kingdom's survival of the fittest rule…the weak fall by the wayside so that the strong might prevail (Darwin was no fool. A sense of fair play and good will did not enter into his "equation of life").
Student, I sympathize with the plight which is yours. Your generation is quickly discovering that Momma's not always gonna be there to chase away the goblins, rub your tummy, and get out the milk an' cookies while she wipes away the tears of fear and trepidation. My generation faced many of the very same challenges which exist today. Both my Dad's gen and my gen faced the added "concern" of participating in war. When those, in whom you place the expectation of wisdom, dismiss words of guidance as coming from "the safety of one's computer…", you would do well to consider the sad fact that these trusted mentors can be FULL OF SH _ T!
Apparently, Student, you take issue with the "whiners" tag. The myriad obstacles you face…and those which you WILL face…are YOURS, and YOURS ALONE to solve. You (generationaly) may elect to look back upon your predecesors, the problems they faced, and the solutions they came up with…some worked well while some failed miserably. The task is ALL YOURS to weigh what works, what don't work, and come up with the answers, OR, you can whine, complain, and expect someone else to take Momma's place. It's all up to you, Student.

@ Ole Guy. "Words of guidance" from a "a self-annointed statesman of sorts," eh? Why do you think a modern-day student you've labeled a "whiner" is going to listen to you?
The fact remains that you're sitting at your computer typing these brave words for others to follow, just as you were earlier exhorting Georgian teachers to form (illegal) unions.
Be humble, and learn from the other bloggers here what life TODAY is like.
November 2nd, 2011
7:12 pm
Prof, I would imagine the younger generation(s) look to you for just a little more than acceptance of status quo. From what I see in these comments regarding the myriad ills within the education camp, I am struck with the unmistakable notion that 1) complaints seem to be the order of the day with absolutely no viable alternatives which might yield the fruits of actual accomplishments. One would certainly hope this entire blog venue is not reserved strictly for the "nice people" who speak only in soothing tones; my honest opinion…far from being "humble"…is that there is very little to be learned from most comments which seem saturated with nothing but complaints, whining, and woe-is-me commentary, sprinkled with the occasional mindless insult one would expect from within an elementary school playground.
I know exactly what life is like today. I've been obliged to drag my six through one helluva lot of life's "mud". I've gone from (so-called) corporate row, to "the tool box" and back to "suitland" many times. The reason for this lies in my flexibility, psychologically, to ADAPT to life's swings; the "high tides and the low tides of life's adventure. Through it all, I have had far more than good cause to whine and complain. I learned, long ago, that whining, complaining and feeling sorry for self accomplished exactly NOTHING. Those who read my words have two options: 1) Completely ignoring my words is certainly one course of (in)action. Gold does not always come wraped in the sweetly-scented container of kind words, OR 2) Learn the meaning of INTROSPECTION. We don't always get what we want when we want it. One of the toughest things we can do is…BE TOUGH ON OURSELVES. Do not interpret this as "beating up" on self (there's plenty of folks in this world more than willing to take on that task), but simply coming to grips with self.
That which I enjoy today has not been handed to me. I AM humbled by the realization that life's accomplishments can be extremely fleeting. It is for this very reason that one must develop a "bulldog mentality" (nothing to do with UGA)…when life kicks one in the six, one is well-advised to "kick back". Therefore, another attitude worth grasping is TENACITY.
Call these BRAVE WORDS if you will, Prof. They are no more brave than the admonition to get the hell out of the shark-infested waters of defeatism. Prof, you (and your students) can take it or leave it.

What I wanted to examine was the Lean Startup principle of launching the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Just the other day I saw a developer comment complaining about the "go fast and break things" culture in many engineering departments these days. So is MVP really a good idea?

Made this yesterday and it is one of the easiest and best desserts I've ever made. It's light, slightly sweet and slightly tart. Will absolutely make again!
Grapefruit Pound Cake

CubsFan222 Posted: 01/07/12
This is outstanding! my guy doesn't like grapefruit and LOVED this. Great flavor and not too sweet. The icing made the cake! easy!!
CupcakeShelly Posted: 01/14/12
I made this cake with fresh grapefruits from the tree in the backyard. It was so delicious! The cake was moist and a little crumby, perfect for breakfast, or a snack with coffee or tea. I have two boys and a husband that HATE grapefruit, and they ate the whole cake in one day, and I might add were licking the glaze off of the cake saver. haha Perfect recipe, I will try it with oranges, then lemons next. The pound cake is a perfect base recipe for any other type of pound cake. Perfect!!!
jcnemead Posted: 01/13/12
My husband said this was the best cake he's ever tasted! We loved it!
Sarahtimmer1 Posted: 01/12/12
This was a very simple and light dessert. I think it would be great in the morning with coffee or at a brunch as a bread. I did make two changes. Substituted the milk for fresh grapefruit juice and added 1/4 C. of brown sugar. Was a fun new sweet to have around.
kayakGirl21 Posted: 01/13/12
This was wonderful! I used fresh grapefruit juice and boiled it down as the recipe called for but I think it may have been even better with store bough grapefruit juice to make the icing.
amyleigh Posted: 01/09/12
This is so delicious. I did sub orange zest for the grapefruit though. Will definately make again.
sweetkiwi Posted: 01/08/12
This cake is really delicious, especially with the glaze, but I feel like it is almost too fluffy and moist for a pound cake.
falljunelaker Posted: 01/01/12
In looking to use up some fresh grapefruit given to us by a neighbor, we paired this with CL's grapefruit-buttermilk sherbet for New Year's Eve. It was a hit & even our 4 yr. old loved it. I was initially tempted to skip the icing just b/c we were serving sherbet with it. Definitely don't skip the icing. It really made this dessert. The cake has a very, very mild grapefruit flavor, so most of the flavor comes from the icing. I like grapefruit but don't love it, & I found this recipe to be flavorful without being overpowering.
CW1979 Posted: 01/16/12
Very easy to prepare and great tasting cake. I wish it had more grapefruit flavor though. I agree with another post in which the cake seems too moist to be pound cake. My coworkers loved it.
chaselh79 Posted: 01/07/12
Great tasting recipe! I modified it just slightly. I used half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat pastry flour. Additionally, I used 1/4 c. skim milk and 1/4 c. low-fat buttermilk in lieu of the 1% milk. Instead of baking the cake in a tube pan, I used four miniature bread pans. The adjusted baking time was approximately 40 minutes. I will be making this recipe again in the future.
TheMomChef Posted: 01/19/12
This is an absolutely wonderful pound cake recipe. It was fluffy, tender and moist. The grapefruit syrup is something I've never tasted before. Definitely citrus, but if I hadn't known, I'd have been hard pressed to say grapefruit. We loved it. Read my full review at: http://bit.ly/xETFEy
steponme Posted: 01/24/12
My new go to pound cake; it was so good and easy (I've had issues w/ pound cakes falling in past; so I'm a little apprehensive about making them) this came out perfect! I couldn't even tell it was a light version.
Adethrow520 Posted: 01/20/12
Moist, dense...perfect! Easy to make with great results. I had some honeybell tangelos on hand and used those instead of the grapefruit. YUM. Probably the best cake I've made from scratch. Ever.
nanaspastry Posted: 01/25/12
This cake was amazing. What a wonderful recipe! A fabulous way for me to use the grapefruits from our tree. My mom, who is a citrus cake connoisseur, has not stopped raving about it and asks me daily to make it again.
laurasl Posted: 02/12/12
It was delish and everyone loved it, asking for the recipe-easy to make and very moist and had great texture. The reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is I would have liked more grapefruit flavor in the cake although everyone thought the grapefruit flavor came through and it was nice and refreshing, which it was... I just would have liked a little more.
jmeleeS Posted: 01/26/12
Excellent pound cake - the cook time was perfect and my cake came out gorgeously browned from the pan. No cracking and it had a great crumb; perfect texture. This recipe has an old fashioned taste with just a scent of citrus. Only two "cons" to this recipe - 1) I couldn't tell the citrus was from a grapefruit (Pro: You can use any citrus in season / on hand); 2) The powdered sugar glaze was way to much sugar I even used 1 cup less sugar to start and would use even less in the future to avoid dilution of the great grapefruit juices. Great with coffee and serving size is perfect. Shockingly, you don't miss the full pound of butter usually in pound cakes and it tastes just as traditional as a full-fat version. Would be a great cake to share at a brunch - enjoy!
BusyBoyMom Posted: 02/01/12
Absolutely delicious - I just wish there was a little more grapefruit zing to the glaze, which I found a bit too sweet and I followed the recipe exactly. I cooked in a bundt pan for 1 hour and it was perfect. This is my new go-to-low-fat pound cake recipe. In my house of 5 boys, it was gone in less than 10 minutes. I'll make two next time! Would be delicious to substitute lemon zest and juice, too.
celeanor Posted: 02/26/12
Delicious!! Goes great with tea.
No Longer Registered Posted: 01/29/12
Absolutely delicious. I made this and took it to a dinner party of six people. Everyone wanted a second helping. One of the best poundcake recipes every.
Jesspatsy Posted: 01/29/12
As others have said, this cake is delicious! I don't have a tube pan, so I made it in a single 5x9 bread pan and reduced the bake time to about 1 hour, and it came out great. My glaze was a little on the runny side, but I may not have fully reduced the grapefruit juice. I actually think it would be delicious without the glaze, although you would lose some of the grapefruit flavor. Either way, a great dessert!
shoff216 Posted: 03/01/12
O kay this is one of the best cakes I have ever eaten! It was easy to make and really good. I had trouble with the glaze, (pretty sure it was me some how) too thick and alittle bitter but I scrapped it off and ate the cake!!!
vickierigsby Posted: 02/14/12
I just got back from my uncle's house in south Florida and picked a grapefruit from his tree just to make this pound cake when I got home. This cake was so good. When I would tell people what I was making, they would snarl. I brought it to work for co-workers to try and they loved it.
tarmale Posted: 03/08/12
Omg, this is so good! I was leary using my oven as it doesn't bake evenly but it came out perfect. I did not use the icing as it was way too sweet we just ate it plain. Fantastic flavor. A day or two later it tastes even better as the top with get moist. This recipe is in my binder now where only the best recipes go forever!
DonnaNJ Posted: 04/24/12
I made this, tentatively, for my Mother's birthday. I wasn't completely sold on the idea but I trust Cooking Light's ideas, so I decided to give it a try. I am so thankful that I decided to go ahead and make this cake. My mother, husband and I completely enjoyed each morsel of this delectable dessert. The crumb of the cake is exquisite - it's like a cross between a very light pound cake with angel food cake. It is neither dense like pound cake, nor spongy like angel food cake, but rather a perfect compromise between the two. This isn't difficult to make and the rewards are great. I would serve this for any occasion. It freezes nicely too, so you can always make one, preslice it and take out pieces as you want to enjoy it. A definite keeper.
Kristilyn1 Posted: 04/19/12
Made almost exactly as given, delicious and moist. Will definitely make again.
Beckyw66 Posted: 04/21/12
Love,love, love Made by the book. PERFECT every time
Maryalana Posted: 04/08/12
Easy, yummy and almost guilt free! Every one ad our Easter brunch loved it.
amyjvm Posted: 02/28/13
Pound cake itself is worth 5 stars, glaze is not. I made this recipe last year for friends, and thought the glaze tasted too much like liquid powdered sugar. Yuck. This year, I tried 3 different ways of making the glaze. Best result was to reduce the powdered sugar to 1/2-3/4 cup, and add a little (1-2 T) butter. Not as light, but much more tasty. Next time I might skip glaze altogether and just drizzle with the reduced grapefruit juice (or add a little granulated sugar to make it a syrup). I baked the cake in 4 mini loaf pans, for about 45 minutes. Came out perfectly. Bonus: much lighter eating to give three cakes away and not have 16 servings of this delicious cake at our house!
CookingCrazy Posted: 04/09/12
What a wonderful, easy cake recipe. I made this for our family Easter reunion. I had to sub orange in place of grapefruit as we have family members on medication that does not allow any grapefruit. The orange turned out so good. It was so well received by my family that I have been asked to make again for next get-together. I imagine it would be just as good with any citrus fruit - lemon - lime, etc. Thanks for a great recipe.
marybeth123 Posted: 05/05/12
This cake was truly outstanding and I can see a lot of versatility with other citrus! I even messed up and added the whole 8 oz package of cream cheese instead of the 6 oz called for in the recipe - adds a bit more of the pound cake density that other reviewers were seeking. I baked it in a bundt pan for about an hour and it turned out perfectly. For the glaze, I reduced the sugar and used a bit more grapefruit reduction as others suggested. The leftovers also freeze beautifully. This recipe is a keeper!
kns215 Posted: 11/21/12
Pretty good. I used 9.5" bundt pan, but I think I would like to go for a smaller pan next time as it was just flat and round (I wish it was higher). I used a little less than 1.5 C of sugar, full-fat cream cheese, applesauce instead of butter, 1/4 cup of fresh grapefruit juice and 1/4 cup of cream instead of 1/2C milk. It was very moist, in fact, a little rich. I will try adding maybe 1/2 t of baking soda next time to make it a little bit lighter. Overall, I recommend this recipe and would make this again.
Tharavn66 Posted: 07/04/12
Definitely a keeper! Would have liked more grapefruit flavor. Also won't be using such a sweet glaze. Will use a touch of the reduced syrup only. Texture is great, but could be tad more moist. Will make it again for sure.
HeatherH Posted: 11/25/12
Really Yummy! I took it to a pot luck event and it was a big hit. I also made it with blood orange zest and juice and it was fabulous as well. Excellent, easy and delicious.
priscilla167 Posted: 03/29/13
Wonderful cake. I personally love grapefruit but not everyone does so the next time I bake it I will use no grapefruit and more vanilla and water or milk to make the correct liquid amt. The texture is very nice and it slices very pretty. I used two loaf pans to bake it so I would have one to try and one to give away. I took it to my bank for the employees to judge. Everyone loved the cake but not everyone liked the glaze. This is a keeper for me because of the good flavor and appearance.
smd1212 Posted: 03/07/12
Delicious! Followed the recipe exactly, just a bit less powdered sugar in the glaze per other reviewers (maybe a cup), and a little extra juice in the glaze. I thought the cake and glaze had a nice, citrusy zing, and I could definitely taste the grapefruit - I used a ruby red grapefruit that was really juicy and the rind smelled amazing when I was grating it, so maybe that was it! Definitely a keeper I will make again, and like other reviewers I think it would be great with different types/combinations of citrus.

- 1 cup frozen strawberries, thawed
- 1 very ripe medium banana
- 1/2 cup rum
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup cream of coconut
