Dessert Pasta
Pasta for Dessert? Chocolate Pasta? Of course—just hold the Parmesan!
Anyone who ever grew up with a grandmother who made nudel kugel, that German dessert and comfort food composed of short, flat noodles, pot cheese, sugar, cinnamon and raisins, should not be surprised to see the dessert lasagna at the left. It's just the Italian variation using broader noodles, ricotta instead of pot cheese, and fresh fruit instead of raisins.
While everything old is new again, for a country that lives on pasta as we do, the dish is very under-represented in the dessert department. Consider this THE NIBBLE's attempt to develop the genre.
We've assembled more than a dozen dessert pasta concepts. You can click here to send us yours.

Regular pasta works fine with dessert—the unsweetened pasta is a counterpoint to the sweet additions. If you want, you can give more "dessert" flavor to the pasta by:

A+D's SOUPERgreen Rethinks the Los Angeles Landscape With Cutting Edge Sustainable Tech
The A+D Museum in Los Angeles recently hosted a panel discussion for their new sci-fi inspired "SOUPERgreen" exhibit. The architects involved wanted to challenge conventional sustainable design trends by adopting an aggressively technological approach to LA's urban landscape. The featured designs were futuristic visions of how green design can radically transform a user's experience through city infrastructure, and nature itself. The result is a "souped up" vision for green development where technological innovation is embraced as an extension of the earth's natural cycles and human imagination.
The discussion provided fascinating insights into the architects' visions, their critiques of the current state of green design, and the future direction of sustainable architecture. The panelists included ARUP principal Erin McConahey, David Hertz of Studio of Environmental Architecture, Lance Williams of the USGBC, Wes Jones of Jones Partners, Doug Jackson of Doug Jackson Design Office, Randolph Ruiz of AAA Architecture, and Steven Purvis of APLSD design. Topics raised by the panelists and audience ranged from how to push beyond the limits of prescriptive green architecture (which lead to some heated discussion about the LEED rating system), to how the commodification of the housing market estranges homeowners from greater responsibility to their community's environment. The panelists were passionate, and wildly intelligent individuals whose experience on the frontier of green design made for an engaging, and thought provoking discussion.
Doug Jackson kicked off the night by explaining that the goal of the exhibit wasn't to create a "technicality-based architectural vision," but rather to bring the viewers into an imagined reality that expands conceptions of architectural function and aesthetic. David Hertz emphasized that hiding or discreetly integrating the green components of a building is a timid architectural stance, and that these materials should be embraced and even dictate the design itself. Erin McConahey added that the function of exposed building mechanics should be "immediately understood" by viewers. This exaggerated showcasing of green technology would serve as a catalyst in the process of encouraging the spread of sustainable design. Wes Jones likened the concept of the exhibit to a "souped-up hotrod," where existing components of urban architecture and infrastructure are repurposed to better serve the user and the surrounding environment.

You don't find many just-turned-18-year-olds who already know how to deepthroat a cock. Most girls don't learn how to really suck cock until they're well into their 20's. But Katy Carson shocked us all by taking a cock all the way to the back of her throat during her scene at Only Teen Blowjobs, so we knew we had to share her with you Throated fans. Katy doesn't believe in a lot of small talk. She doesn't care if you know where she's from or what her favorite color is. Her favorite thing to suck is cock and that's all that matters. She lets her lips do the talking so that all you can hear is the slurp, slurp, slurp of her mouth and throat working that cock over. I love an obedient teen girl who knows how to suck until she's satisfied and so are you!
Welcome back Katy!

One Wasn't Enough: The Best Series-Based Blockbusters of the Last Year
One Wasn't Enough: The Best Series-Based Blockbusters of the Last Year
This past year was red-hot year for Hollywood at the box-office. In the last 12 months more than 25 movies passed the $100 million century mark at the box-office, and if you look at the international stats, that figure swells to outpace 50. Franchise seems to be the key word this year, with six of the top 10 films of the year being part of some kind of pre-established franchise. Sometimes one just isn't enough. From Iron Man to the Fast and the Furious, here's a list of five of the biggest box-office bonanzas of the year.
1. Fast & Furious 6
Domestic: $238.7 million International: $550 Million Total: $788 million Why it was a hit: Remember when The Fast & The Furious was considered a B-movie franchise. Those days are long-gone, with the franchise, under the stewardship of director Justin Lin, having evolved into a high-stakes action franchise that owes more to Mission: Impossible, than the early movies in the series. Stars Vin Diesel & Paul Walker were once again backed up by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, with Michelle Rodriguez returning to the franchise after having been (presumably) killed off in the fourth installment. The broad-action appeal, multi-ethnic cast, hip soundtrack, and solid reviews all played a hand in making this the biggest film in the franchise to date. What's Next: Universal Pictures is understandably keen on the series, and a seventh installment is due in theaters this coming summer, with Diesel, Walker, Rodriguez and more all confirmed to return, along with new baddie Jason Statham, and Kurt Russell. One person that won't be back: director Justin Lin, with Insidious and The Conjuring helmer James Wan taking over the franchise.
2. Monsters University
Domestic Gross: $268 million International: $475.1 million Total: $743.1 Million Why it was a hit: Pixar is a sure-thing at the box-office and has been for years. Chalk it up to their consistent quality, and broad appeal, with parents, kids, and even older teens and singles all flocking to their films. Following-up on Monsters, Inc., the success of this film was a no-brainer, but despite mixed-reviews (for a Pixar movie) it surpassed even the most enthusiastic box-office predictions. What's Next: More Pixar movies are in the pipeline, but the next one's not due until 2015.
3. Despicable Me 2
Domestic: $364.8 Million International: $547 Million Total: $911.8 Million Why it was a hit: The first Despicable Me was a surprise hit for upstart animation studio Illumination Entertainment, but with grosses approaching one billion dollars, the franchise has suddenly become one of the hottest in town. It didn't hurt that the first film's rave reviews, and goodwill drummed up from the mega DVD/Blu-Ray sales had anticipation for the family film at a fever pitch before it opened. Like the Pixar films the audience appeal was broad, although Despicable Me 2's success meant the ultimate failure of several other highly-touted animated films, including the mega-budget Turbo. What's next: Not only is a third film on tap, but July 2015 sees the release of Minions, a spin-off film highlighting Gru's adorable pint-sized yellow helpers. The franchise looks to be a juggernaut in the making.
4. Iron Man 3
Domestic: $409 Million International: 806.4 Million Total: 1.215 Billion Why it was a hit: Even by Marvel standards, Iron Man 3 was a major blockbuster, with only last year's THE AVENGERS out-grossing it at the box office. While that film had a whole team of superheroes, the weight here rested entirely on star Robert Downey Jr.'s shoulders. The franchise has always been popular, but The Avengers made it even more so, with Iron Man 3 almost doubling Iron Man 2's worldwide box office take. What's next: The Marvel franchise continues with Thor: The Dark World due out this month and Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy due out in 2014. Downey Jr. has since signed a new deal with Marvel, meaning he'll be back as Tony Stark in Avengers: Age of Ultron, due out in 2015. Meanwhile, Downey Jr.'s solo box-office mettle will be put to the test in a new thriller called The Judge, which comes out in a very-awards friendly slot.
5. Man of Steel
North American Box Office: $291 million
International Gross: $371.8 million
Total: $662.8 million
Why it was a hit: Superman movies are far from a sure-thing at the box-office. Sure, back in the late '70s and '80s, the first three Christopher Reeve movies broke the bank, but the infamous Superman IV: The Quest For Peace was an all-out disaster, and even Bryan Singer struggled to revitalize the franchise with Man of Steel benefitted from the guiding hand of Dark Knight Mastermind Christopher Nolan, screenwriter David Goyer, and 300's Zack Snyder in the director's seat. While the reviews were mixed, the movie was a smash, and made an instant star out of Henry Cavill, who was backed-up by a super-powered cast of actors, including Michael Shannon, Amy Adams and Russell Crowe.
What's next: Not only will Cavill be back as Superman, but next time, Batman's along for the ride, with Ben Affleck's controversial casting as the Caped Crusader in the next film in the franchise, which sees the superheroes pitted against each-other.

you need Logic to have a conversation.
you cannot say the reason no one comes here is "THE TEAM HAS A BAD VIBE" and then turn around and say its just the money.
bottom line - the miami dolphins has a bad vibe and a stench, and its not just the FO, its also the weak and vindictive fan base. and yes it is a STRONG national team.
but im calling out the tools out protesting like clowns and holding up suck for luck sings and chanting we want orton, or the idiots not showing up for games but who have PLENTY of time to post on here or stand around in davie with paper bags on their heads. or spend money on planes to fly messages over stadiums, but "cant afford" games or "have too much to do" its ridiculous.

So what I used was food grade silicone. There are many brands who have different names for it.
There are different grades, cures, durometers, (how flexible it is)pot life, (how long you have to work with before it cures)
So you must double check each products specifications.
The main difference is that food grade silicone is non toxic and is platinum cured versus tin cured.
The specific product I used was Smooth on Sil 940, sampler size.
It's 2 lbs and about 40 bucks. But it's easily enough to do a few molds. The kit comes with complete instructions and there is a phone tech support in case you get lost.
Just googling "food grade silicone" will find you what your looking for.
Here is the same product, different company, on ebay:
Find some place near you that sells it, Tap plastics will be carrying it soon.
You will need the following materials:
-Han Solo in Carbonite toy
-Foamcore (it's usually white paper with a foam core)
-Glue gun with a few sticks
(Big tip here, you can use Legos instead of the foamcore/gluegun method, I'll explain later)
-Food grade silicone ( if you ever wish to use food products in the mold, otherwise regular silicone will work)
-Baking chocolate
I watched all of the videos available on Tap plastics website before I even started. I suggest you do the same to make the process full proof :) Especially on mold making!
Remember you can cast any object. And if you can cast any object you can mold anything into chocolate!
Someone out there is already working on a battle of hoth scene in chocolate. Complete with chocolate AT-ATs and powdered sugar for snow!
I put a chewy caramel center in mine for a more authentic trapped-in-carbonite mouth-feel.
polycarbonate sheets
I want one of those kits so badly!
Second Part: I've seen one at Techshop, but have lived in envy of those who have them.
The chocolate looks great. If you are really interested in continuing your work with chocolate bars you should learn how to temper chocolate! It helps your chocolate keep its "snap" after it has cooled, and it also allows it to set at room temp in 5 minutes as opposed to a few hours in the fridge. If you want some tips just let me know!
Nice to have an eatable 'ible!

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
In this essay, Hastings looks at "front edge" areas for promoting healthy dialogue in the field of science and Christian theology, areas which are specifically theological in nature.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
Hastings provides a biblical and theological basis for healthy and fruitful dialogue on the theology and science of origins.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

4 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 large
onion, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can
crushed tomatoes
2 cups
1 (6 ounce) can
tomato paste
3 leaves
fresh basil leaves
2 cloves
garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
Very close to authentic Italian sauce, but you need to add lots of fresh basil and use ONLY olive oil. A tiny bit of sugar is needed to cut down the acidity.
I may just be spoiled by dining out and/or commercial sauces, but this recipe didn't do much for me. I used virgin olive oil, Tspn sugar, fresh crushed roma tomatos, fresh basil leaves(cut up), 1.75 water, white onion, fresh ground pepper, & salt substitute. Even adding parm cheese & italian seasoning only improved it some. But, as others have said, its EASY to make.

I make this sauce quite similar. The difference in mine is I use extra virgin olive oil,I'm guessing about 1/2 tablespoon of oregano, and I use a bay leaf instead of basil leaves. I also cut 2 carrots cut in half and just throw them in the sauce. That cuts down on the acidity without having to add sugar and then you can easily remove them. Sometimes we throw in a hot red pepper to give it some heat. This sauce is the traditional sauce my mom and sisters have cooked for years that we've all carried on from my Nonna and we're all Italian. Thanks for this one.
I used extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I also saute minced garlic, celery, onion and carrots in oil before adding the rest of the ingredients. I alway add a bay leaf while simmering (don't forget to remove before serving)! I use this sauce at least once a week. Somtimes I double the recipe and freeze what is left for the next dish.
Wonderful recipe to make and then freeze for use in the winter. I make several batches and after thawed and heating, add cooked sausage, mushrooms, etc. Vegetable stands will usually sell you their seconds(some bruises on them) at a cheap price and work perfectly for the sauce. I also add salt and pepper, oregano and thyme after the first two hours. Also, a tsp of sugar.
Easy to make and a nice basic tomato sauce. The flavor was really nice, although I used dried basil and did add about 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese. Also, used extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil...better flavor. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little less water because I prefer a slightly thicker sauce. All in all, really good!
This is the best tomato sauce I have ever tasted! It is very rich and tasty. For a more authentic taste, I added 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and used olive oil as well. It was lovely.
This was a simple and easy recipe to use i added some crushed red peppers to add a little bite to it.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was on a tour of the South to recruit volunteers for his "Poor People's Campaign", spoke to an overflow crowd at Mason Temple March 18. Speaking in support of striking sanitation workers, King called for a general work stoppage by black Memphians if the city did not agree to a union dues checkoff. "Along with wages and other securities, you're struggling for the right to organize. This is the way to gain power. Don't go back to work until all your demands are met", Dr. King told the crowd.
Memphis garbage trucks remained silent and unmanned Feb. 12, 1968 - the first day of a sanitation strike. Almost 1,000 of the city's 1,100 sanitation workers did not report to work after discussions about wages and job conditions broke down between the city and Local 1733 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Sanitation laborers were paid $1.80 an hour and crew chiefs (truck drivers) $2.10 an hour. The minimum wage in 1968 was $1.60 an hour. Two weeks earlier, two sanitation workers were crushed to death in a garbage packer. Worker's compensation was not part of the job package.
Mayor Henry Loeb (left) declared the sanitation strike illegal during a Feb. 13 meeting in his office with high-ranking union representatives, including (from left) Joe Paisley, AFSCME field representative from Nashville; P.J. Ciampa, AFSCME national director of field services; William Lucy, national associate director of legislation for AFSCME, and T. O. Jones, president of the Memphis Local 1733. Loeb, who rejected a union proposal that would have returned men to work that day, did not believe public employees - whose jobs are necessary for the welfare of the city and who are paid with tax dollars - had the right to strike.
About 800 strikers took their message to the streets for the first time Feb. 13 marching more than three miles to City Hall from the United Rubber Workers of America union hall on Firestone. The group was so large it had to assemble in The Auditorium, a downtown concert hall, before it could be addressed by the mayor and union leaders.
An inch of snow - enough to bring Memphis to a near standstill - fell the night of Feb. 14 as relationships between the city and strikers chilled further. The next day, garbage trucks - manned by workers who remained on the job and replacement workers hired by the city - returned to the streets, accompanied by police escorts. Driver George Kelsey was among the employees who stayed on the job. He talked with a policeman before heading to the streets. Kelsey joined the union after the strike.
With stenciled signs, printed leaflets and daily marches, support for the strike became well organized. Daily marches began in February 1968 as did a boycott of businesses associated with downtown, City Council members or with the family of Mayor Henry Loeb. Marchers usually walked along Main Street from Clayborn Temple AME Church just south of Beale Street to Washington Avenue near City Hall.
City Councilman Wyeth Chandler (who succeeded Henry Loeb as mayor of Memphis in 1972) talked with local AFSCME president T.O. Jones at a Feb. 22 Public Works Committee meeting. Union representative Joe Warren (right) listened in. The event was dubbed the "City Hall Sit-In" by local newspapers.
The tensions of the sanitation strike erupted into violence for the first time Feb. 23. Disagreement over what sparked the incident continues: was it because marchers rocked a police car? Or did a police car cross into the strikers' lane and graze a woman? What is certain is that police sprayed Mace into the faces of marchers - including ministers - near the Goldsmith's department store at Main and Gayoso. The protesters, some blind from Mace, dispersed in confusion. "Our...position was that the police would not have Maced ministers of the white community....knowing they were ministers...We felt this was done because we were black," said Dr. H. Ralph Jackson, director of the Minimum Salary Department of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Rev. Samuel Billy Kyles used a garbage can to collect money for striking workers at a March 14 rally at Mason Temple. More than 9,000 people attended and were roused by the oratory of Roy Wilkins, national executive director of the NAACP, and Bayard Rustin of the A. Philip Randolph Institute.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - Baptist minister, world-famous civil rights leader and winner of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize - made his first appearance in Memphis during the strike on March 18 at Mason Temple.

Ciampa (rising from his seat).
During the tenure of O.T. Jones Sr., Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke before 13,000 people at Mason Temple on March 18. He pledged to return to Memphis on March 22 to lead a march that was postponed because of a near record snowfall. The protest was rescheduled for March 28.
An unusual springtime snowfall canceled Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s plans for a March 22, 1968 protest. More than 16 inches fell: the second largest snowfall in Memphis history, and well beyond the city's yearly snowfall average of 5.6 inches. But Thomas Moore, an International Harvester employee and strike supporter, marched alone in front of City Hall. Moore's "Do Right Mr. Mayor" plea reached Mayor Henry Loeb, who brought him a cup of hot coffee.
The march led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went forward March 28. Most of the 5,000-plus who participated were described as working-class, church-going people who donned their Sunday best because they believed in the righteousness of the strike and they believed in King. The "I Am A Man" signs distributed that day came to symbolize the strike effort.
The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, right, and Bishop Julian Smith, left, flank Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., during a march on behalf of striking sanitation workers in Memphis, Tenn., March 28. Rev. P.L. Rowe is at far left. The dignity of the march soon gave way to disorder. Witnesses said a group of about 200 youths began breaking windows and looting along Beale Street about 20 minutes after the march began. Police moved in with tear gas and nightsticks.
The dignity of the march soon gave way to disorder, hope turned to horror. Bernard Lee cleared the way fro Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rev. Ralph Abernathy after the march broke into chaos as it reached Main and McCall. Behind Lee is Rev. Henry Starks and Roy Turks (right) of the Invaders, a loosely knit group of activists. Witness said a group of about 200 youth began breaking windows and looting about 20 minutes after the march began. Police moved in with tear gas and nightsticks. March participants scattered, running for shelter. King agonized over what had happened.
A police officer uses his nightstick on a youth reportedly involved in the looting that followed the breakup of a march led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. March 28, in Memphis, Tenn. Black leaders accused the police of brutality while police officers said they did what was necessary to restore order. In the wake of the violence, a curfew was imposed and more than 3,800 National Guardsmen were rushed to the city.
Memphis NAACP president Jesse H. Turner received rough treatment from police as he tried to restore calm and convince marchers to return to nearby Clayborn Temple AME Church March 28.
The tragic tally of March 28: one killed, 62 injured. John Gaston Hospital ( a predecessor of the Regional Medical Center at Memphis) was crowded with victims of the violence that erupted during a march led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on behalf of striking sanitation workers. At the AME Church Minimum Salary Building near Beale, a newspaper reporter saw a young child with a bloody head and a woman lying on the floor, moaning and crying.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. held a press conference Thursday, March 28, 1968 after a march in support of striking sanitation workers broke up in disorder. He was joined by Rev. James M. Lawson Jr. (left) and Dr. H. Ralph Jackson. He said people "on the sidelines" started the trouble, not the marchers. The three leaders vowed the protests would continue. At another press conference on March 29, before leaving for Atlanta, King vowed to return to Memphis to lead a peaceful mass march.
The daily sanitation strike marches resumed March 29 - one day after rioting left Main and Beale littered with bricks and broken glass and dappled with blood. The city was taking no chances on a repeat of the violence: National Guardsmen in armored personnel carriers equipped with 50-caliber machine guns escorted marchers.
Abram Schwab (left), Beverly Schwab and Michelle Johnson reacted with astonishment and fear when the National Guard rumbled down Beale on March 29, the day after the march broke up in violence. The trio had been cleaning up glass from the broken windows at A. Schwabís dry goods store on Beale.
Outside the Lorraine Motel Wednesday, April 3, U.S. Marshal Cato Ellis served Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a temporary restraining order from a federal judge, barring them from leading another march in Memphis without court approval. Also present were top King aides Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Andrew Young, James Orange and Bernard Lee. The restraining order was issued to stop a national March on Memphis planned for April 8.
On April 3, Rev. Ralph Abernathy led Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. James M. Lawson Jr. and others into Room 307 at the Lorraine Motel to discuss a restraining order and plans for a second march. King, who was staying in Room 306, also met with young people and other groups of strike supporters who wished to be part of future protests.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and one of his aides, Jesse Jackson, at Mason Temple Wednesday, April 3. On that stormy night, Dr. King delivered his last public speech to an audience of more than 2,000. The speech has become known as the "Mountaintop" speech.
Police officers soon discovered the bathroom window at 418 1/2 South Main through which they say James Earl Ray aimed when he shot Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The civil rights leader was standing near the center of the view from the window, where several officers could be seen the next day. The FBI used fingerprints to identify James Earl Ray as the suspect on April 19. He was arrested June 8 in London and returned to Memphis on July 19. He pleaded guilty to the murder March 10, 1969, and received a 99-year sentence. Ray died Thursday April 23, 1998 in a Nashville hospital.
In the courtyard of the Lorraine Motel after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and fatally wounded Rev. Jesse Jackson, a King aide, talked with Shelby County Sheriff William N. Morris Jr. (left) and Claude Armour, former Memphis fire and police commissioner who served as law enforcement special assistant to Tennessee Gov. Buford Ellington. Meanwhile, other law enforcement officials, state and federal government representatives, reporters and mourners converged on Memphis from around the world.
Patrolman Louis E. McKay (left, with shotgun), a member of the police Emergency Squad, was among the first officers to arrive in the area after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. April 4. He was ordered to guard a bundle discovered near a doorway of Canipe's Amusement Company at 424 South Main. The bundle contained a 30.06 Remington rifle, which officials said later was the weapon that killed Dr. King.
On Friday morning, April 5, more than 300 mourners paid tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at R.S. Lewis & Sons Funeral Home, 374 Vance. "Jesus will take care of him," one mother whispered to her little boy. An old man in coveralls and shoes without toes waited his turn in line. When he reached the casket he leaned over and said, "We won't give up, and we won't bring no shame to your name." It was a tiny chapel, draped in lavender. People were shoulder to shoulder when Dr. Ralph Abernathy, King's top aide and closest friend, arrived. Dr. Abernathy led them in a stanza of the civil right's leader's theme song, "We Shall Overcome."
A youth hoisted an upraised fist - a symbol of black power - as the airplane carrying Coretta Scott King and the body of her husband departed Memphis for Atlanta April 5.
Mayor Henry Loeb - a shotgun beneath his desk - greeted about 300 black and white ministers in his office Friday, April 5, shaking hands with Rev. Joseph P. Toney while Father Nicholas L. Vieron (behind the clasped hands) looked on. The ministers - who represented congregations in wealthy East Memphis and the impoverished inner city - were impressed with Loeb's cordiality in the face of such a potentially uncomfortable confrontation. The ministers were calling for an end to the sanitation strike and union recognition for the workers. But Loeb gave no indication he was willing to compromise with the strikers.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow, Coretta Scott King, and three of the couple's four children - Yolanda King (left), Martin Luther King III and Dexter King - led a march through downtown Memphis Monday, April 8, 1968. The march, originally planned to refocus attention on the sanitation strike, became a memorial to King. Rev.

Board seeks smoking prevention information
At the request of Supervisor Gerald Hyland (D-Mount Vernon), the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will receive a report on what it legally can do to discourage its employees from smoking.
Hyland asked the county attorney to detail whether the county could ban smoking on all county property, consider tobacco use in hiring decisions and mandate that employees who smoke enter smoking cessation programs. The county already prohibits public safety employees from smoking, bans smoking indoors and in county-owned vehicles, and offers voluntary smoking cessation classes.
While the board agreed to Hyland�s request for information, several board members said they thought his approach went too far.
�Smoking is a very difficult habit to kick,� said board Chairwoman Sharon Bulova (D-At large). �Forcing people to do something is probably not helpful or even successful.�
Supervisor Linda Smyth (D-Providence) noted that when Inova Fairfax Hospital banned smoking on its campus, she began receiving complaints from surrounding neighborhoods about people going there to smoke and leaving their cigarette butts behind.
Hyland said the issue of smoking is very personal for him, as his father and sister died from smoking-related illness. He also said it is a budget issue, as smokers tend to have higher health care costs.
Election commission members appointed
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors appointed the members of the bipartisan Election Process Improvement Commission on Tuesday. The commission, which the board voted to establish following the long lines during the November presidential election, is charged with reviewing the county�s election process and making recommendations for how it could be improved.
Democrat Katherine Hanley, a former board chairwoman and secretary of the commonwealth, and Republican Stuart Mendelsohn, a former Dranesville District supervisor, will jointly lead the commission. The other members include one appointee designated by each supervisor, two appointees designated by the chairman, the chairs of both the Republican and Democratic parties of Fairfax County, and representatives from various Fairfax County organizations, including the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, the League of Women Voters, the Fairfax Bar Association, Fairfax County Public Schools administration, Federation of Citizens Associations, and disability and minority community representatives.
The commission is expected to begin work in January and present its recommendations in May.

AJAX JSP Tag Library
The AJAX JSP Tag Library is a set of JSP tags that simplify the use of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) technology in JavaServer Pages. This tag library eases development by not forcing J2EE developers to write the necessary JavaScript to implement an AJAX-capable web form.
- Autocomplete: Retrieves a list of values that matches the string entered in a text form field as the user types.
- Callout: Displays a callout or popup balloon, anchored to an HTML element with an onclick event.
- Portlet: Portlet-style capability from a AJAX-enabled JSP tag.
- Select/dropdown: Based on a selection within a dropdown field, a second select field will be populated.
- Tab Panel: Enable an AJAX-based set of property pages.
- Toggle: Uses images to create either a single on/off toggle or a sequential rating system.
- Update Field: Updates one or more form field values based on response to text entered in another field.

Java Web Parts
The AjaxTags component of the Java Web Parts project is a taglib that allows for very easy, purely declarative AJAX functions to be attached to any element on a page.
It is nice because it does not require you to change anything about your existing page, you can add AJAX features after the fact very easily. The taglib consists of two common tags, and two others that are less frequently used, which have one or two attributes apiece. Very simple! All you do is drop a tag directly after the element on the page you wish to AJAX-enable, configure an entry in an XML config file describing the AJAX event, and you're done!
AjaxTags comes with a number of request and response "handlers" which provide common AJAX functions (e.g. construct XML from a form and submit it, update a div with the servers' response, execute returned populate a select, transform returned XML via XSLT, etc). It also has tremendous flexibility for you to create your own handlers to do other things, like transfrom the server's response via XSLT using Sarissa (this was a contributed custom handler which is now standard in AjaxTags).
AjaxTags does not provide pre-made AJAX widgets as other libraries do, but it does provide the foundation to very easily and quickly build these (see the cookbook example of building Google Suggests with AjaxTags). AjaxTags also provides timed AJAX events, so you can continually refresh an iFrame for instance. AjaxTags is, in short, an exceedingly simple, powerful and flexible way to introduce AJAX into your applications without having to write ANY code yourself!
Ajax reusable GUI Classes and "loosely coupled" component based Framework
Raju's GUI-API Ajax reusable GUI Classes are based on "patent pending" inventions, which let developers build easy to use and more flexible reusable GUI Classes than possible for traditional GUI Platforms such as Java/Swing or Windows/VC++.
- Developer's Guide Free for trial
- Technology summary
- Very Basic Tutorial for Developing a GUI Widget for GIS for a Newbie
- Tutorial for the technologies
- Proof for the inventions
To build superior online GUI applications than possible on the traditional GUI platforms, one needs superior GUI-API. Raju's GUI framework offers simple and complete solution to build superior online applications. Raju's GUI-API will contain very lightweight and highly scalable GUI Classes. For example, fine-grained java-classes can be quickly composed to build GUI classes for larger components.
Although, component based processes are controversial, pioneer-soft strongly believes it invented a viable component oriented programming. The following web pages briefly summarizes the process:
- "Service access" to the interchangeable-parts for easy maintenance of the components/application
The basic proof is not complex: If the product-makers (e.g. computers and cars) were also cannot build interchangeable components and literally assemble them to create 'hierarchies of loosely-coupled components', they would also face crisis, similar to the software makers. These technologies are still needs to be peer-reviewed and accepted by other researchers, so the technologies not yet commercial.
Apache Struts 2
Struts is a MVC library that (since version 2) includes complex AJAX-tags (by integrating DOJO-toolkit)
Apache Trinidad
Based on a donation from the Oracle company to the Apache foundation, this is a graphical framework based on JSF model. You will have access to over a 100 components and other feature like validators, partial page rendering, skining and more.
Apache Wicket
With proper mark-up/logic separation, a POJO data model, and a refreshing lack of XML, Apache Wicket makes developing web-apps simple and enjoyable again. Swap the boilerplate, complex debugging and brittle code for powerful, reusable, Ajax-enabled components written with plain Java and HTML.
Authenteo provides client centric programming model for RIA development

Cross-Browser Core Engine
Comprehensive Widget Library : 250+ widgets & functions
The Backbase offers a very complete UI widget library with over 250 pre-built widgets and functions. The widgets are built in XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and XML, and can be plugged-in anywhere on the page. Backbase allows you to change widgets to fit your needs. The source code of all pre-built widgets is included and Backbase encourages customers to modify and adapt the controls to suit their needs. Custom widgets can be created by adjusting pre-built widgets or by building widgets from scratch. With Backbase you are not stuck with rigid single purpose widgets; rather, you can create any UI control you need. Go to: Backbase Explorer
Cross Browser Ajax Debugger
The Backbase Ajax Debugger allows interactive, real-time debugging of the complete Ajax user interface. The developer loads the debugger inside the browser, on top of the interface being debugged. Once loaded, the debugger gives the developer a 360-degree view of the interface. For each element currently used in the Ajax interface, the developer can easily inspect the XML data, the DOM node, the computed style, the behaviors and also the variables. The tool is fully integrated with the tracer and command execution. Following the trace, the developer can identify UI elements that have caused execution errors, and fix those. The debugger works in all major Browsers (including IE). See: Demo of Debugger
Visual Ajax Builder (Eclipse Based)
Backbase offers a unique WYSIWYG visual Ajax development environment, specifically designed for Rapid Application Development of Ajax based applications. The builder is an Eclipse plug-in, is intended for professional and enterprise developers, and includes all the development tools and features necessary to cover the full Ajax based RIA application development lifecycle – from development to deployment. See: Demo Visual Ajax Builder
Java Server-side Integration Framework : JSP, Struts, Spring, JSF, JSR 168, WSRP
Backbase JSP / Struts / Spring Connector: add Ajax features to existing JSP, Struts, spring and HTML code, while making only minimal changes to your existing code base ("ajaxify" your existing java applications).
Backbase Portal Connector: enables you to create JSR-168 compliant portlets that do not require your portal page to re-render all portlets after each operation and also offers over 250 Ajax widgets and functions that simplify the development of your "ajaxified" portlets. The concept of the Portal Connector is that we want to avoid as many page refreshes as possible when interacting with a portlet. We're using the WSRP protocol and JSR-168. To avoid page refreshes, we avoid rerunning the portlet class, because that would cause the entire portal page to refresh. So the main thing we do in an Ajax portlet is to dispatch to a view. When you need other functionality such as editing portlet preferences, you can define other JSR168 defined methods (like processAction) to take care of this.
Backbase JSF Edition: is a JavaServer Faces (JSF) implementation that takes advantage of the client runtime and Eclipse-based development tools. The Backbase JSF runtime performs the Ajax component rendering in the JSF presentation framework. It extends the JSF request lifecycle to work in a Single Page Interface environment, it synchronizes client-server state and facilitates data binding. Backbase Ajax JSF Components are pre-built and accelerate application development. Over 50 customizable UI components are included, and developers can also create their own components. Besides the ajaxified flavours of the standard JSF components, the JSF Edition delivers rich Ajax JSF components that combine rich client side and server side behavior such as the listGrid.

BindowsFaces is a components library that enables programmers create powerful Ajax web applications using Java through JSF.
Who should consider using BindowsFaces?
- Developers creating enterprise strength web applications.
- Java developers that do not want to engage in JavaScript "hacking".
- Bindows programmers that want to expand into and leverage JSF technologies.
Why use BindowsFaces
- Most JSF based frameworks in the market provide the client side components as an afterthought - their client side is quite weak.
- BindowsFaces provides Java developers with a market leading client-side component model, built from the ground up with TRUE object-oriented Ajax.
- Bindows is famous for being full, rich and mature (probably the richest Ajax framework). Bindows also provides the best in market support for developing Section-508 accessible web applications.
- BindowsFaces shields the developer from the complexities of JavaScipt cross-browser programming.
- BindowsFaces enables you to create full fledged Bindows applications using only JSF.
- The Bindows legacy provides you with access to the most robust, mature and rich Ajax components (the richest components library) on the market.
- You (the developer) have full control of how to distribute execution loads between the client and the server. Let the client do 99% of the work - drastically reduce server load and bandwidth utilization.
- Creation of the client application can be fully automated by the use of XML.
- Utilize industry standard Java development tools featuring code completion, unit testing etc.
- The underlying Ajax library is object oriented - very similar to Java and Swing which should make the transition swift and painless for a large portion of the developer community around the world.
- Cross-browser compatibility and zero-foorprint.
- Enables an application flow on the client side with actions and events. No need to send an entire HTML page just to change one pice of data.
- Bindows uses true Ajax! No hidden frames...

ItsNat, Natural AJAX
ItsNat is an innovative open source (LGPL v3 or alternative license) Java AJAX Component based Web Framework. It offers a natural approach to the modern Web 2.0 development focused on SEO friendly Single Page Interface web sites/apps.
ItsNat simulates a Universal W3C Java Browser in the server; the server mimics the behavior of a web browser, containing a W3C DOM Level 2 node tree and receiving W3C DOM Events using AJAX. Every DOM server change is automatically sent to the client and updated the client DOM accordingly. Consequences: pure (X)HTML templates and pure Java W3C DOM for the view logic. No JSP, no custom tags, no XML meta-programming, no expression languages, no black boxed components. The developer has the full control of the view.
ItsNat provides an, optional, event based (AJAX) Component System, inspired in Swing and reusing Swing as far as possible such as data and selection models, where every DOM element or element group can be easily a component.

Jansone earns spot on LPGA Futures Tour during Q School
Thursday, December 09, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 9, 2010) - Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia) spent four years rewriting the women's golf record books at ETSU. She's doing it again.
Jansone, who ended her time at ETSU just seven months ago, participated in the 2010 LPGA Futures Tour Qualifying School last month in Florida. Over 308 players from 38 nations competed in the event, which was played at three different courses throughout Central Florida.
The former ETSU star finished tied for 69th in the field, posting a four-round score of 12-over-par 300 (75-78-71-76). An Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year and two-time league individual champion, Jansone becomes the first ETSU women's golfer to ever earn a spot on either of the two major women's professional golf tours.
Jansone and the other Futures Tour qualifiers must wait until the end of this week's LPGA Qualifying School to learn whether they will earn exempt or non-exempt status. In other words, Jansone must wait to learn exactly how many events she will be able to attend.
"After the LPGA qualifying, they will send our status," Jansone said. "I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to play in all the tournaments, but my plan will be to play in as many as possible. I have spent so much time and effort on my game the last several years while at ETSU, so it's nice to move one step forward."
As for setting a new standard at ETSU for women's golf, Jansone said it's an honor.
"It's always nice to be the first to do something," she said. "I hope I'm not the last, and I want to set this as a goal for the other ladies in the program now and those that follow."
ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton said this is another example of the ever-improving women's golf program.
"This is just one more great accomplishment for the program," Shelton said. "We're so proud of Laura and all she did for ETSU women's golf, and we're happy to see her career continue to flourish. We wish her the best."

Corned beef croquettes and corned beef flamenco maki
WITH ONDOY AND Pepeng still fresh on peoples mindsand bank accountsthis year is looking to be cheap and practical, but innovative.
Corned beef is comfort food that should really test the Pinoys zest for innovation.
From Argentina Corned Beef comes two new recipes that are the result of thinking out of the boxCorned Beef Croquettes and Corned Beef Flamenco Maki.
Corned beef has always been the staple breakfast food, says Melissa Lim-Lara, senior product manager of Argentina. Now were introducing ways for people to enjoy their Argentina corned beef.
The two recipes are part of Argentinas campaign to extend the use of corned beef.
Lim-Lara also stresses Argentina Corned Beefs added health benefitsprotein, iron and zinc. Its not really just about the taste; were giving customers premium and authentic corned beef.
Endorser Boy Abundas unique take on the household staple: Corned beef with saba and peanut butter. He takes it for breakfast when hes in the mood for variety.
For special occasions, Abunda mixes corned beef with pasta.
Its my comfort food, he says. I can start and end my day with corned beef.
Corned Beef Croquettes
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 tbsp chopped onion
2 tbsp chopped celery
2 tbsp chopped carrots
1 tsp minced garlic
260 g Argentina Corned Beef
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
4 c mashed potatoes
½ c all-purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c Japanese breadcrumbs
Cooking oil for deep frying
Ingredients for onion-garlic dip:
2 tbsp milk powder
¼ c water
¼ c mayonnaise
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp chopped spring onion
Heat cooking oil in sauté pan. Add onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Allow to sweat over low to medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until aromatic. Stir in corned beef. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
Place about 1 heaping tbsp of mashed potatoes in your hand. Add 1 tsp of corned beef filling in the middle. Add another tablespoon of mashed potatoes to cover filling. Gently form into a croquette.
Dredge croquette in flour, dip in egg then roll in breadcrumbs. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden. Serve hot with onion-garlic dip.
To make onion-garlic dip: Mix all ingredients together. Cover and chill for at least an hour before serving to let flavors blend.
Corned Beef Flamenco Maki
1 recipe sushi rice
1 recipe maki filling
½ c shoestring potato chips (Piknik original flavor)
2 medium-ripe saba, cut into 8 strips each and fried
6 large eggs, beaten and cooked in a pan to make 4 thin sheets
4 sheets nori, cut into halves
1 recipe chimichuri
Place half nori on a bamboo mat and flatten about ½ cup of sushi rice. Place a sheet of egg over rice and place about 3 tbsp corned beef, potato sticks and 2 sticks of banana. Roll and tighten to hold shape. Repeat procedure and slice each roll into 8 pieces. Serve with chimichuri on the side or top each slice with ½ teaspoon of the sauce.
Makes 8 servings.
Sushi rice
3 c Japanese (sushi) rice, washed twice and drained
3¼ c water
7 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp mirin
3 tbsp sugar
Place washed rice in a rice cooker and pour in water. Soak rice for 30 minutes before cooking. Cook rice until done.
In a bowl, blend vinegar, mirin and sugar and set aside until ready for use.
Spread the hot steamed rice on a large plate or a large bowl. Please use a nonmetallic bowl to prevent any reaction with rice vinegar. Its best to use a wooden bowl called sushi-oke. Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold the rice by shamoji (rice spatula) quickly. Be careful not to smash the rice.
To cool and remove the moisture of the rice well, use a fan as you mix sushi rice. This will give sushi rice a shiny look. Its best to use sushi rice right away.
