The School of Humanities and Sciences and Graduate School of Education are providing Stanford PhD graduates in humanities and arts with an unprecedented and fully funded opportunity to launch a career in secondary school teaching.
Not all PhD students can find or ultimately want a career in higher education. Our high schools are desperately in need of teachers with talent and passion in humanities subject areas. Given that Stanford has top ranked programs in the humanities and STEP is a national leader in teacher education, we have an unbeatable formula for making a difference in the lives of young adults.
With both a PhD and a STEP MA, you will be poised to become a master teacher combining subject expertise with an education background. You will join teachers leading the transformation of high school education in North America. Many STEP graduates are employed in the Bay area's most innovative schools.
STEP applications from eligible PhDs students will be considered for the H-STEP Fellowship beginning in January 2015. Please see the program guidelines for more details on the application process.
For more information, contact Jeffrey Schwegman (firstname.lastname@example.com).

What's in your Easter basket? Whether you're celebrating Easter, Passover or the arrival of daffodils, it's time to show our pets some extra love by keeping them safe from seasonal hazards. Here are a few ASPCA tips for a pet-safe spring!
• Beware of Easter lilies—they can be fatal if consumed by our furry friends. We recommend leaving lilies out of Easter baskets destined for homes with cats, or using safer flower varieties as substitutes. Some pretty alternatives include Easter orchids, cacti and daisies, as well as roses and violets.
• Keep candy bunnies in check—chocolate goodies are toxic to cats, dogs and ferrets. And any treats containing xylitol, an artificial sweetener used in many candies, chewing gum and baked goods—may be toxic, too!
• Decorations, especially Easter tinsel, may look festive but can be dangerous. Kitties love to nibble on plastic grass, which can lead to serious health issues.
• Baby chicks and rabbits are not Easter gifts. While these festive babies are adorable, resist the urge to buy; they grow up fast and often require specialized care. Thousands of ex-Easter bunnies and chicks are abandoned each year when their novelty wears off.
For more springtime pet safety tips, please visit our Pet Care section, and have a happy holiday weekend!
Last week, the Internet exploded over a widely shared video of a New Mexico man, Tim Sappington, shooting a seemingly healthy, young horse between the eyes while cursing out "animal activists." The video is horrifying, and Sappington is under investigation by the New Mexico Livestock Board for animal cruelty.
Sappington worked for the Valley Meat Company in Roswell, New Mexico—the same slaughterhouse that has an application pending with the USDA for permission to slaughter horses for human consumption.
While we mourn Sappington's victim, this callous fan of horse meat may have actually helped our mission more than he harmed it by exposing horse slaughter for what it is: cold and cruel. The video generated a firestorm of public and media criticism about the ongoing efforts to reopen horse slaughter plants in the U.S., as well as interest in the related legislative efforts to prevent it.
Take Action
The ASPCA has worked closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups to develop the SAFE Act, a bill that will ban the slaughter of horses nationwide. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to urge your U.S. senators and representative to support and cosponsor the SAFE Act.
Mother Nature wasn't on our side when she sent a deadly blizzard to hammer Kansas and Missouri earlier this week. The heavy snow snapped tree branches and left more than 100,000 Midwesterners without power. At least two deaths were blamed on the off-season storm.
Despite the whiteout conditions and frigid temperatures, our first responders worked around the clock to care for nearly 100 dogs rescued from a multi-state dog fighting bust.
"The weather certainly wasn't ideal, but we weren't about to give up on these dogs," reports Tim Rickey, Vice President of the ASPCA Field Investigations & Response team. "It's our job to provide these animals with the best possible care, and our responders are trained to handle obstacles as they arise."
The dogs were rescued after search warrants were executed by the FBI in Kansas,Missouri and Texas. The animals were found outside in freezing temperatures.
For more information about this unfolding case, please stay tuned to aspcarescue.org.
We're still on the ground helping care for the canine victims rescued during a multi-state dog fighting bust that occurred in Texas, Kansas and Missouri. The ASPCA Field Investigations & Response team managed the removal and transport of nearly 100 dogs on Saturday and Sunday, during a spring snowstorm that made the rescue even more difficult for both the victims and responders.
Sadly, we've become all too familiar with scenes like this one. The ASPCA has assisted local and federal authorities in several previous dog fighting cases, including the largest dog fighting seizure in U.S. history in Missouri in 2009, and last year's bust in the Bronx.
What happens during a large-scale raid like the one that went down this weekend? Read Anatomy of a Raid for all the details. And stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more information and photos from this unfolding case.
Last year the historic Homeless Animal Prevention and Care Fund was created by the Massachusetts Legislature. When you file your 2012 taxes this spring, Bay Staters, you'll have your first chance to donate to this Fund!
Contributions to the Homeless Animal Prevention and Care Fund help shelters and animal control facilities provide services such as spaying, neutering and vaccinations. The Fund also assists Massachusetts families who are facing challenges meeting the cost of these essential services and provides training for animal control officers.
Donating is easy! All you have to do write the dollar amount of your donation on Line 32f of your Massachusetts state tax return:

Tom did like he always does, kissing his wife, crawling in
bed and falling to sleep. All of a sudden, he wakes up with
an elderly man dressed in a white robe standing in front of
his bed.
"What the heck are you doing in my bedroom?...and who are
you?" he asked.
"This is not your bedroom," the man replied, "I am St. Peter,
and you are in heaven."
"WHAT! Are you saying I'm dead? I don't want to die! I'm too
young," said Tom. "I want you to send me back immediately."
"It's not that easy", said St.Peter. "You can only return as
a dog or a hen. The choice is your own."
Tom thought about it for a while, and figured out that being
a dog is too tiring, but a hen probably has a nice and
relaxed life. Running around with a rooster can't be that bad.
"I want to return as a hen," Tom replied.
And in the next second, he found himself in a chicken run,
really nicely feathered. But now he felt like his rear end
was gonna blow. Then along came the rooster.
"Hey, you must be the new hen St. Peter told me about," he
said. "How do you like being a hen?"
"Well, OK I guess, but it feels like my rear end is about to
"Oh that!" said the rooster. "That's only the ovulation going
on. You need to lay an egg."
"How do I do that?" Tom asked.
"Cluck twice, and then you push all you can."
Tom clucked twice and pushed more than he was good for, and
then 'plop' an egg was on the ground.
"Wow" Tom said. "That felt really good!" So he clucked again
and squeezed. And you better believe that there was yet
another egg on the ground. The third time he clucked, he
heard his wife shout:
"Tom, FOR GODS SAKE! Wake up! You're poopin all over
the bed!"

How To Beat A Speeding Ticket.
A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:
Officer: May I see your driver's license?
Driver: I don't have one. It was revoked when I got my 5th DWI.
Officer: May I see the registration for this vehicle?
Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.
Officer: The car is stolen?
Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the registration in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.
Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.
Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.
Hearing this, the officer immediately called his Captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the Captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:
Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Driver: Sure. Here it is. [Presents valid driver's license]
Captain: Whose car is this?
Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration. [Presents valid registration in his name]
Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. [Shows officer that glove box does not contain gun]
Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.
Driver: No problem. [Opens trunk...no body]
Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.
Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too!

Texas surgeons
Three Texas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing
surgeries they had performed.
One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Texas. A concert pianist
lost 7 fingers in an accident. I reattached them, and 8 months later
he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."
One of the others said, "That's nothing. A young man lost both arms
and legs in an accident. I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a
gold medal in field events at the Olympics."
The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several yeas ago, a
cowboy, who was high on cocaine and alcohol, rode a horse head-on into
a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was
the horse's buttocks and a cowboy hat. Now, he's president of the United

Obedient Wife
There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his
money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died,
he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put
it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with
And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when
he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting
there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished
the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket,
the wife said, "Wait just a minute!"
She had a box with her, she came over with the ! box and put it in the
Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away.
So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that
money in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied," Listen, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."
You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my
account and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it."

A company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hires a new CEO.
This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour
of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is
full of workers and he wants to let them know he means business!
The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, "And how much money do you
make a week?"
A little surprised, the young fellow looks at him and replies,
"I make $300.00 a week. Why?"
The CEO then hands the guy $1,200 in cash and screams, "Here's
four weeks pay; now GET OUT and don't come back!
Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around
the room and asks, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did
With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, "Pizza
delivery guy from Domino's."

Arresting Quotations
The following were taken off of "actual" police car videos around the country.
"Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worth less document."
"If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."
"Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second? In case you didn't know, that is the average speed of a 9mm bullet fired from my gun."
"So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"
"Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh ... did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?"
"Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."
"The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"
"Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey poop."
"Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."
"Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile."
"In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."
"Just how big were those two beers?"
"No sir we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."
"I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."
"You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."

Monday, May 2
Dear Friends:
It is important for men to remember that as women grow Older it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of Housekeeping as they did when they were younger. When men notice this, they should try not to yell. Let me relate how I handle the situation. When I took "early retirement" in April, it became necessary for Nancy to get a full-time job, both for extra income and for health benefits that we need. It was shortly after she started working that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from fishing or hunting about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says that she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts supper. I try not to yell, instead I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she finally does get supper on the table. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. It is now not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after supper. I do what I can by reminding her several times each evening that they aren't cleaning themselves. I know she appreciates this, as it does seem to help her get them done before she goes to bed. Now that she is older, she seems to get tired so much more quickly. Our washer and dryer are in the basement. Sometimes she says she just can't make another trip down those steps. I don't make a big issue of this. As long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening, I am willing to overlook it. Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear to the Monday lodge meeting or to Wednesday's or Saturday's poker club or to Tuesday's or Thursday's bowling or something like that, I will tell her to wait until the next evening to do the ironing. This gives her little more time to do some of those odds and ends things like shampooing the dog, vacuuming or dusting. Also, if I have had a really good day fishing, this allows her to gut and scale the fish at a more leisurely pace. Nancy is starting to complain a little occasionally. For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. In spite of her complaining, I continue to try to offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any, if you know what I mean. When doing simple jobs she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I try not to embarrass her when she needs these little extra rest breaks. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. I tell her that as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me and take her break by the hammock so she can talk with me until I fall asleep. I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Nancy on a daily basis. I'm not saying that the ability to show this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible. No one knows better than I do how frustrating women can become as they get older. However, guys, even if you just yell at your wife a little less often because of this article, I will consider that writing it was worthwhile.
Signed, Bob

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

UITableView in JavaScript, list view with re-usable cells using flexbox
If you're familiar with iOS development you will know that a UITableView is very efficient when displaying a list of data. A simplification of what it does is display enough cells to fill the viewport plus a few more either side. As you scroll it re-uses cells that are now out of the viewport so a list with thousands of items will only ever use a fixed amount of cells. Highly recommend reading The fine art of UITableViews. Now this has certainly been done before in JavaScript, the best known project being infinity.js, but my approach takes an interesting turn, I avoid heavy DOM operations by using flexbox.

Model Criminal Forfeiture Law
Model Criminal Forfeiture Law
Standard to deter crime and protect property
|IJ client Zaher El-Ali is challenging the state of Texas' right to seize his 2004 Chevrolet Silverado based on the fact that someone else drove the truck while intoxicated.
|Video: Ending Forfeiture Abuse: How States Can Be Tough on Crime and Respect Property Rights
Civil forfeiture laws represent one of the most serious assaults on cars, cash and other private property by government today. Being accused of a crime is sufficient for law enforcement in most states to take your property. And if you don't initiate a civil lawsuit against your own property, you soon lose it. Worse of all, most states allow the law enforcement agency that seized your property to keep the majority of it to supplement their own budgets.
This is because of poorly written, overly complex and biased civil forfeiture laws that favor police profiting from property taken from property owners well before the owners have their day in court.
These laws treat property as guilty until the owners hire lawyers, go to court, and try to obtain court orders forcing the police to return their property to them. This bizarre and costly process causes many property owners to give up and not even attempt to get back their property.
The Institute for Justice released a report called Policing for Profit: the Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture, which identified only three states with asset forfeiture laws and practices rated as "B" or higher.
This is far too few. To help states improve their law, IJ commissioned a team of experts to draft a model criminal forfeiture law that every state legislature could adopt completely or in parts.
Building on the laws in those three states, the comprehensive document is premised on two simple but important ideas: (1) law enforcement agencies should not profit from forfeiture and (2) a jury should find the accused guilty of a crime before the state takes final title to his or her property.
As part of its commitment to protecting property rights, IJ has launched a campaign to end civil forfeiture laws and replace them with criminal forfeiture laws through litigation, legislation, and in the court of public opinion.
This model law is an important component of IJ's strategy to ensure that every American's property is safe from the abuse of self-enriching enforcement of asset forfeiture laws.

CEDAR FALLS — After three hours of action-packed football producing 140 points, and an overtime with both teams scoring touchdowns, it came down to one two-point conversion play.
In a record-setting Eight-Man semifinal game Thursday morning, that spilled into Thursday afternoon, Murray and Gilbertville Don Bosco had nothing settled after 48 exhausting minutes, with the two undefeated teams locked in a 70-70 tie.
Murray won the overtime coin toss and elected to play defense first. In this game, 10 yards wasn't much of an impediment in scoring a touchdown, and Don Bosco junior quarterback Jake Hogan carried three times until he finally scored from the 4-yard line. He also followed his blockers in for the two-point conversion.
Trailing 78-70, Murray now had to respond once again in this see-saw battle. On third-and-goal from the 10, the trusty combination of quarterback Austin Halls passing to receiver Cody Scroggie came through once again for their fifth TD connection of the day.
Do-or-die play
So, now the game would advance to another overtime possession for each team, or end with a failed conversion and two-point difference.
After the shotgun snap, Halls was flushed out of the pocket to his left. The receiver on that end of the field, running a crossing route toward the left sideline, was tight end Sam Rockhold.
Just as Rockhold prepared to receive the pass on the run, Don Bosco defensive back Tyler Metcalf reached just far enough to tip the ball away from Rockhold, and sink Murray's quest for a second straight championship game appearance.
Third-ranked Don Bosco 78, No. 2 Murray 76.
It finally ended for a UNI-Dome crowd that had just ridden an incredible roller-coaster of emotions since the 9:06 a.m. start, as the teams finally shook hands at 12:21 p.m.
"That was something to see," Don Bosco coach Colby Yoder said. "One for the ages for sure."
In fact, it was the highest scoring playoff game in Iowa playoff history — surpassing the 118 Farragut and Twin Cedars scored in 2002 — and third-most total points ever in an Eight-Man game.
Hogan rushed for 253 yards and three touchdowns and passed for three more scores as the Dons (12-0) advanced to the state title game next Thursday in the school's first year of Eight-Man football. Their opponent will be Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn,which blew out Exira/Elk Horn-Kimballton, 61-22.
"It was one of those games you hate to have either team walk off (defeated), as hard as they went at each other," Murray coach Keith Shields said. "It may not sink in right now, but this was a game they'll never forget. To have an opportunity to come back to the UNI-Dome and play in a game like that."
Murray (12-1) had converted eight of nine two-point conversions in regulation, but Metcalf anticipated the play coming in overtime.
"They had been running cross routes to the tight ends all game and that is what they were beating us on," Metcalf said. "Jake (Hogan) slowed my guy down for a second and I got over there and deflected the ball ... did what I had to do."
Halls, who slumped to his knees on the turf after Metcalf's play, said his options were limited.
"I didn't trust what I was seeing," Halls said. "But I didn't have a lot of options. They took away my running lanes. I had to get rid of the ball and I had to give Sam a chance to make a play. The defender made a better play. I have no regrets, other than I fell a little short with it. I just wish we could have had one more opportunity."
The start of the game was a polar opposite to last year's semifinal win over Clarksville, which started with a 14-0 deficit.
Rider returns
This time, the Mustang faithful was excited as the running back duo of Seth Nerness and Andrew Rider lined up deep to receive the opening kickoff.
Rider had not appeared in a game since breaking his left arm on the fourth play of the Oct. 19 game against Lamoni.
With a padded cast cut shorter on Wednesday, Rider was medically cleared to play Thursday. He was restricted with what he could do with his left arm and hand, but he immediately showed there was nothing wrong with his legs.
Cradling the kickoff in his right hand, Rider cut toward the right sideline, made two would-be tacklers miss, and then turned on the jets toward the opposite corner of the Dons' end zone. As Mustang Nation erupted in a roar of excitement in the east bleachers, Rider completed his 75-yard touchdown.
Little did anyone realize at the time there would be 19 more touchdowns scored in the game!
"It's almost all healed," Rider said. "It felt good to be back."
Because of his limitations, Rider didn't play full-time on either side of the ball, but saw spot duty at running back and linebacker, and proved so effective at kick returns that Don Bosco eventually resorted to squib kicks.
Scroggie's first TD reception and a two-point play made it 16-0 in favor of the Mustangs early in the first quarter, but the Dons came roaring back just as they had in facing a 20-0 deficit in a second-round win over Springville.
It was 16-16 nine minutes into the game, and then the Mustangs hit a rough patch that turned the momentum over to Don Bosco.
A rare stop by the Don Bosco defense forced a Murray punt, but the snap went over the head of punter Sam Rockhold into the end zone, where it was recovered by Nate Kremer for a Dons' touchdown and a 22-16 lead.
Murray's troubles were compounded moments later when Halls' pitchout from his own 10 intended for Rider went bouncing backward. As the teams scrambled for it, the ball bounced out of the back of the end zone, resulting in a safety, and a 24-16 margin.
"Austin told the guys on the sideline, 'hey, we're just shooting ourselves in the foot on a few plays. We can come back and play our game.' We responded and got right back into it," Shields said.
While scrambling, searching for an open receiver, Halls ended a wild first half by running for a 9-yard touchdown and passing to Scroggie for the two-pointer and a 48-40 Mustang lead.
Second half
Murray took a 10-point lead (56-46) on a 2-yard Seth Nerness run set up by a long completion from Halls to Scroggie and personal foul (late hit) that further advanced the ball to the Dons' 15-yard line.
But, Don Bosco quickly responded with another touchdown, and the third quarter ended with Murray clinging to a 56-54 lead.
A touchdown pass by Hogan to start the fourth quarter pushed the Dons back in front. Halls countered with a 48-yard touchdown scamper for Murray, and hit Rockhold with the conversion pass for a 64-62 Mustang lead.
After Hogan's 49-yard punt pinned Murray deep at the 5-yard line a few minutes later, Murray picked up 44 yards on a pass from Halls to fullback Corey McCracken. That ignited a scoring drive, as Scroggie made a spectacular catch against double coverage for a 29-yard gain to the 1-yard line, where Halls then punched it in on a quarterback sneak.
Leading 70-62, Murray had a chance to open up a two-score lead with 7:17 left. But, Halls was forced to leave the field with blood spotted on his arm, or return if Murray burned a timeout.
Shields elected to send Rider out to receive the snap in a wildcat formation. After starting to run, he surprised the Dons with a quick toss over the middle, that just fell short of completion, leaving the margin at eight points.
"They walked Austin off the field," Shields said. "Looking back, it's a possibility we could have just used a timeout there. With Andrew not practicing much lately, we put him in a tough spot there. We executed pretty well, just didn't quite connect. Making it a two-score game would have been big there."
Another opportunity squirted away from the Mustangs later in the period after the Dons had tied it at 70-70. Back to receive a Mustang punt, Hogan missed the ball and it went bouncing behind him. More than one player had a chance to fall on the ball in Don Bosco territory with 41 seconds left, but Dylon Rhoads of the Dons fell on the ball on his own 9-yard line.
With 16 seconds left, Hogan punted to Murray, and after it rolled, there was time for one more play. Halls' pass was intercepted by Metcalf, which caused a few anxious moments on the Mustang sideline, but he was tackled near midfield by Rockhold.
In overtime, there was little doubt that either team would have much trouble traveling 10 yards.
"I really did feel it would come down to the two points," Yoder said. "Both teams were picking up big yardage and were probably going to score."
"We were up 10 a couple of times and couldn't put it away," Halls said. "This team is a lot better than Clarksville last year, the way they run their offense. They're two-dimensional. When we got up early, we knew it wasn't over."
Shields said the effort was a proud end to a special era of Mustang football. Back-to-back trips to the UNI-Dome ended with a 2012 season scoring 852 points, believed to be the second most ever in Iowa high school history behind Fremont-Mills' 891 in 2011.
Eleven seniors appearing for Murray for the last time are Raymond Barlage, Scroggie, Eddie Otto, Alex Youngquist, Halls, Devin Shields, McCracken, Dylan Craig, RayDean Burdess, Eli Barr and Matthew Johnston.
"We told them afterward that we were proud of every single one of them," Shields said. "Those seniors who walked off the field for the last time, just the competitors they are and the leadership they've shown, we wouldn't trade those guys for anybody."

Great World of Sound
Martin answers an ad to train as a record producer, where he's excited by the prospect of signing undiscovered artists. The company, called Great World of Sound, partners shy, unassuming Martin with the gregarious Clarence and sends them on the road, visiting southern towns where the company has placed newspaper ads and turning motels into makeshift audition studios. Though an unlikely duo, they sign more acts than anyone else at the company. But when Martin takes a special interest in a young girl's "New National Anthem," putting up his own money and following her progress, he discovers that something's amiss with the enterprise. As things threaten to unravel, he's forced to weigh his nagging conscience against both his loyalty to Clarence and his own financial ruin. A playful, contemporary take on the classic American story of the confidence man, "Great World of Sound" evokes conflicted hucksters from Willy Loman and the Mayles Brothers' salesman to the seedy charmers of seventies Altman. With real-life audition footage weaved into the fictional narrative, Zobel's provocative debut explores the outer limits of our desire for celebrity, where big dreams beget bigger illusions, and fame always has its price.

Students Help Shigeru Ban Build A Temporary Structure in Madrid
Friday, March 22, 2013
William Menking.
The latest Shigeru Ban paper tube building has opened at IE University in Madrid, Spain. Elsewhere, Ban built the paper tube Nomadic Museum in New York City on a Hudson River pier in 2007, a Camper retail store in New York's Soho neighborhood, and now in Christchurch, New Zealand he is constructing an A-Frame cathedral out of the temporary, eminently efficient material. The Madrid University building took only two weeks to build, is based on sustainability objectives, and there was a requirement that it be a temporary construction. It is made of 173 paper tubes held together by timber joints that rest on paper columns.
"One of the main challenges in any project is that the design must take into consideration the specific characteristics of the location. In this case, we used an existing wall and kept the pavilion as far as possible from the adjacent building," Shigeru Ban said in a statement. "I try to use local firms for my work. In this case the tubes, for example, were made in Zaragoza." Shigeru Ban also pointed out that students from IE School of Architecture took part in assembling the paper tubes, and underscored how important it was as an educational experience for them.
One Response to "Students Help Shigeru Ban Build A Temporary Structure in Madrid"
Beautiful temporary structure… amazing what you can do with tubes.
Ban does a great job of educating the next generation in how to BUILD.
The world needs more Ban and less BIG. You know what i'm talking about.

Here are my adjustments: 1 lb ground turkey browned with a clove of garlic, 1 cup chopped turkey pepperoni, 1 jar Ragu Italian Sausage flavored sauce, 1 can Italian Style stewed tomatoes (I blend smooth), 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp Ital seasoning. I cooked 2 pkgs of the frozen cheese tortellini then put into 13x9 pan. I just didn't have time for the crockpot this particular day. Added some cheese, then poured over the sauce and mixed through and topped with more cheese. Bake till cheese melts, which is only 5-10 min. Fantastic! Better than any other Italian dish I have ever made. And easy, too.
The only changes made were to add some italian seasoning, a teaspoon of brown sugar, and a small can of sliced olives. I was not impressed with this recipe and probably will not make it again. It seemed too greasy even though I used extra lean ground beef.

I made this last night for my husbnad's italian family, everyone really enjoyed it. I did however change the recipe up like I do w/ all new recipes. First anytime I make a pasta recipe I always add onion and green pepper to the meat as I am browning it. I am not one whom like sausage so I used extra ground beef, I also added a fair amount of pepperoni not too much to give it a little spicy kick. Instead of using original totellini I used garlic and herb, chich I believe gave it a great taste. Also with any pasta recipe I added a little more italian spices, gralic spice and some brown sugar. I don't add too much brown sugar, it does give a smoother taste, but the main reason for adding this to any pasta recipe it is counters the red sauce and keep the heartburn down, this is always worked for me and my family since we do get heartburn easy, so it's not as much for the taste. Overall I found that everyone enjoyed this recipe w/ all the changes. I served it was salad and bread.
I was very impressed with this dish and it exceeded the expectations I originally had of this recipe! I did add some onions and green bell peppers when sauting the lb of italian sausage (I didn't use any hamburger), added some extra italian seasonings, and (thanks to "Ravenmelle's" advice) added just a little brown sugar - which I can see why it would reduce heartburn!!! I didn't see the point in slow cooking this so I mixed all in a 9x13 dish, covered with foil and baked for about 1.5hrs at 325 degrees. I then removed the foil, added the cheese(s) and baked for another 15 minutes (uncovered). Sprinkled a little parmesan over each serving...Viola! Great recipe Tracy! My family gives you a standing ovation!
All you need is 1 pan plus your slow cooker! Don't drain the mushrooms and use shredded parmesan instead of cheddar.Also, try it with roasted garlic & cheese tortellini!I refusd\ed to serve jarred sauce before making this recipe!
I made this recipe and it was DELICIOUS!! I used 1lb. Italian Sausage (mild) and mozzerella and parmesan (no cheddar). I made the sauce in the crock pot then added fresh 3-cheese tortellini, then poured it in a casserole and topped with the parm & mozzerella, covered with foil and baked at 350 for 40 min covered and 10 min uncovered. It was a big hit with my crowd and I will definately make this one again!! Thank you Tracey for posting this one.
Excellent and perfect for a "fix-it and forget it" recipe! I added a little minced garlic and chopped onion while browning the ground beef and opted for sweet Italian sausage. For the marinara sauce I used "Best Marinara Sauce Yet" from this site that I had frozen as it's one of my favorites and is perfect for just this type of recipe. I didn't use cheddar cheese as I really didn't think it paired well so instead I used shredded Parmesan. Wonderful served with a fresh garden salad and warm bread!
Wonderful dinner and my in-laws even loved it!! I changed it a little as well. I used all sausage and added onion and green pepper as well. I also added some garlic and brown sugar and just cooked it all in a casserole dish for 40 min. on 350 and then added the cheese until melted...so yummy..and I did not add mushrooms!

The Friedrich Franz gourmet restaurant in the historical Kurhaus Grand Hotel Heiligendamm offers breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea, 26 covers and an atmosphere of refined sophistication. Michelin-starred chef Ronny Siewert has been in charge of the kitchen here since March 2008. Whilst his food is rooted in classic French cuisine, he takes his inspiration from the seasons to create menus that combine quality regional produce to stunning effect.
Der Butt gourmet restaurant at Yachthafen-Residenz Hohe Düne in Rostock-Warnemünde offers a beautifully coordinated dining experience and impeccable service. Michelin-starred chef Tillmann Hahn places regional produce in the spotlight along with exclusive ingredients from all over the world. Influenced by his international experience, his 'collage culinaire' concept delivers excellent menu variations inspired by mediterranean, French, Asian and vegetarian food.
This splendid, quietly located estate features a manor house, a coachhouse and a beautiful park. The culinary masterpieces served in the gourmet restaurant blend freshness, creativity and skill. Exquisite decor and perfect details create the atmosphere of a private house, and in summer the leafy, candlelit terrace offers an intimate dining ambience. André Münch, chef de cuisine at Gutshaus Stolpe, conjures magical dishes that skilfully demonstrate both his professionalism and his enjoyment of cooking.
The Kaiserblick restaurant on the seaside promenade in Ahlbeck, on the sunny island of Usedom, offers a harmonious, classically elegant ambience combined with cuisine of the highest standard. Executive chef Hark Pezely, one of the best chefs on the island, and his team consistently excel in traditional gourmet cooking with an innovative slant. Regional and seasonal produce work brilliantly together and provide constant variety.
Arjan Mensies is the culinary mastermind at the Bernstein restaurant at Strandhotel Ostseeblick in the seaside resort of Heringsdorf on Usedom Island, and his menus certainly reveal his Dutch origins. His fresh, creative cuisine, and the restaurant's breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea and Heringsdorf pier, make dining here an experience to remember.
Lisette, the hotel's gourmet restaurant, is where chef de cuisine Torsten Räth enthrals his guests with exquisite regional delicacies. Locally sourced fish and game specialities can be enjoyed in the English-style conservatory, or mediterranean dishes, sophisticated desserts and fine wines on the lake terrace. Many dishes are prepared using exclusively regional organic ingredients, and there is plenty of choice for diabetics and health-conscious eaters.
Hotel Kleines Meer, right beside Lake Müritz in Waren's quaint old quarter, offers 30 beautifully appointed, individually designed rooms with wonderful views. The restaurant serves top-notch ingredients from the Müritz region and consistently earns high rankings in the Gault Millau guide. Guests can choose from a variety of packages, enjoy balmy evenings on the terrace overlooking Lake Müritz in summer or snuggle up by the fire with a glass of red wine in winter.
Hotel Haferland's three restaurants are completely different in concept but have one thing in common: their almost exclusive use of organic produce. At Bajazzo, guests can enjoy vegetarian cuisine prepared using regional, seasonal ingredients – refined, authentic and totally delicious. The Gute Stube restaurant serves country-house dishes with an emphasis on herbs, while Bistro Fass 36 offers German classics and tasty childhood favourites.

Chill in the air getting you down? Perk up with a huge dose of classic designs, unexpected details, and super-pretty pictures. Oh, and get to know the name Katie Ermilio. Her newest spring '12 collection features backless peach dresses, bow-bedecked shorts in jewel tones, and peekaboo jewelry, giving us all the makings of a wardrobe fit for a princess — but without any cheesy undertones. We also greatly appreciate tulip silhouettes, clean-cut coats, and slim pastel trousers that can deliver some Jackie-O accessibility to nearly anyone's closet. In a collection that boasts womanly glamour, we see lots of potential for NYC-based Ermilio to be the clothier of next spring's wedding-season (a bridesmaid's dream, no?), or simply to provide a timeless, chic collection from a super-talented young designer. Embrace your girly side and take a look at the entire lovely lookbook.
